Yu-Gi-Oh! Interfactors

Episode 19: Trust Test

(The Master Duel continues from the previous episode. Maskedina has 4500 LP, 1 set card, no monsters on her side of the field, the Field Spell, "Maskedformer Encore Arena" in her Field Spell Zone, and has 3 cards in her hand, two of which are "Maskedformer Fire Dancer" and "Maskedformer Entrance Dancer". Lazuli has 7400 LP, "Sirenosis Maiden" and "Talentstar Angel" in the Main Monster Zones, and she also controls "Sirenosis Guardian - Sirenallure" in the right Extra Monster Zone, the Continuous Spells, "Sirenosis Shrine" and "Water Hazard" face-up in her Spell/Trap Zone, and 2 cards in her hand. It is currently Lazuli's turn) 

Lazuli: You may as well just give up now dear Amy. There's no point in continuing on if you cannot hold your own in this duel. 

Maskedina: Never. I will never give up. I will fight this duel to the very end. I won't just back down, not when things are only getting started! 

Lazuli: But can you really prove it? This duel will be over soon if the pace keeps up. 

(Lazuli taps a card in her hand) 

Lazuli: I place 1 card facedown and end my turn. And with this turn's End Phase, it also means "Talentstar Angel" returns to your side of the field.

("Talentstar Angel" returns to Amy's side of the field, and the glow surrounding her stops. Having her monster back, Maskedina looks at Talentstar Angel)

Maskedina: (To herself) I'm not going to give up. Although I have to assess the situation before me. (Maskedina looks back at the field) Lazuli's got more LP than me, 2 monsters that help her put "Sirenosis Counters" onto the field, which she can then use to give her strong field control, and then her Continuous Spell Cards will let her keep her field fresh. (Maskedina then looks at Lazuli's set card) That set card also has me concerned. It could shake up my attack or do something to really slow my game down. (Maskedina looks back straight forward) I have to really focus if I want to pull this off and stop Lazuli's strategy.

Jace: Amy....

Maskedina: (Amy's Deck dispenses a card) My turn. I Draw! (Maskedina Draws, then her 4 card hand is displayed) From my hand, I activate the Spell Card, "Maskedformer Take Two". I target "Talentstar Angel", and am allowed to move her back into my Extra Monster Zone. 

Jace: (In his mind) I hope Amy knows what's she doing. 

(Lazuli says nothing and watches Amy continue)

Maskedina: Next, I Normal Summon "Maskedformer Fire Dancer". (1500/800) Appear, the circuit that guides talents and dreams! (A circuit appears) The summoning conditions are 1 Level 4 or lower Normal Summoned "Maskedformer". I set "Fire Dancer" in the Link Arrow! I Link Summon! Take center stage, Link 1 "Maskedformer Storm Dancer". (900) I then activate Storm Dancer's Special Ability. Once, when this card is Link Summoned and is co-linked to a "Maskedformer" monster, I can destroy a Spell or Trap Card on your field. (Maskedina points) I destroy "Sirenosis Shrine". 

(Storm Dancer fires a gust of whirlwinds towards "Sirenosis Shrine", destroying it)

Lazuli: Sirenosis Shrine's additional effect activates. When it leaves the field due to a card effect, all monsters on your field gain 1 "Sirenosis Counter". 

(Storm Dancer/Talentstar Angel Sirenosis Counters: 0 - 1) 

Lazuli: Afterwards, I can add a Level 4 or lower "Sirenosis" monster from my Deck to my hand. (Lazuli adds her selected card and reveals it) I add "Sirenosis Harpstring".

Maskedina: A shame my turn's not ending soon. I now activate Talentstar Angel's Special Ability. (Talentstar Angel glows) Since "Storm Dancer" was Special Summoned next to its Link, "Talentstar Angel" gains ATK equal to Storm Dancer's original ATK until the End Phase. (Talentstar Angel: 2100 - 3000)
