Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 19 Summoning Words

"You just summon your deck's ace card so easily? Without even reciting a summoning incantation?"

"But the Turbulent Firefighting Vehicle doesn't have an official summoning phrase."

Di Xing swallowed hard. "Could you let me summon the Turbulent Fire Truck for you? I have a summoning incantation I've already prepared."

This kind of maneuver is only possible in informal, face-to-face duels, so Di Xing didn't want to miss this opportunity, but he also knew that this maneuver was really bizarre.

As expected, Ace and Ai Xiao looked at him like he was an idiot, but then Ace coughed a few times and agreed to Di Xing's request. Di Xing scurried over to Ace, took the Turboflow Fire Truck, struck a pose, and shouted...

"Spray, break through, and quell the flames! A rising star amidst the inferno, come forth in fire! I specially summon [Rescue ACE Team Turbo Turbulence Fire Fighter] (Fire/Mechanical ★9 3000/3000)"

Then, Di Xing powerfully slammed down the Turbulent Fire Truck, but just before it hit the table, he immediately withdrew the force and gently placed the card on the field.

Just kidding, that's someone else's ace card, how dare he just take a picture of it?

"Phew, that felt good!" After finishing the set of movements, Di Xing happily scurried back to his half of the court.

Looking at Di Xing like this, Ace thought to himself, "This child is probably seriously ill." His gaze softened slightly as he looked at Di Xing. "Ah Xiao probably wouldn't like a fool."

"Ahem, I activate the special effect of [Rescue ACE Team Turbulent Fire Truck], placing four ACE Spell/Trap cards face-down from my deck onto the field: [E Extinguish!], [R Enhance!], [E Emergency!], and [C Control!]"

"When [Rescue ACE Team Fire Hydrant] is on the field, an ACE Quick-Play Spell or Trap Card that I set using the effect of an ACE Card can also be activated during the turn it is set. I activate [E Extinguish!] to destroy your Bone King!"

"Because there is a [Rescue ACE Team Fire Hydrant] on the field, the effect of [Bone Roast King] is negated. Activate the effect of Fire Defender from your hand, banish one card from your Graveyard, and Special Summon [Rescue ACE Team Fire Defender] (FIRE/Machine ★8 2800/2800)."

"Activate the effect of [Rescue ACE Team Fire Defender] to change your [Zombie Lord] to face-down Defense Position. I'll set another card to change [Rescue ACE Team Fire Hydrant] to Attack Position." Now Ace has 5 ACE monsters on the field, exuding immense pressure. Ai Xiao jumped up and down happily beside him, "How about that? My brother's awesome, right?"

"Entering the battle phase, the first move is to [Rescue Team ACE Fire Hydrant], then attack their [Zombie Lord] on the field."

"My use of the scrap metal scarecrow was ineffective against this attack."

"Next, use the [Rescue ACE Team Dual Pulse Cannon Firefighter] to destroy the [Zombie Lord], while the remaining monsters attack your main body."

After a round of bombardment, Di Xing's health points were reduced to only 1900.

"Alright, you should just admit defeat. It's not your fault for being weak, it's just that my brother is too strong. Your desire to win should have been extinguished by my brother by now." Ai Xiao jumped to Di Xing's side and bent down to look at his expression.

But he found that the light in his eyes had not dimmed, but had become even brighter. "What are you talking about? Isn't the charm of Yu-Gi-Oh! that you never know what will happen until the very last moment?" Di Xing said to Ai Xiao. Ai Xiao was a little embarrassed by his gaze and ran back behind Ace.

The most troublesome thing about "my turn" right now is that Ace has three counters on the field, but they are all counters against monsters on the field, not perfect counters. However, my deck relies heavily on monster effects, so it is indeed a bit difficult. I'll put all my eggs in one basket with this draw. "Draw" is great, it's the Bone Lord. The path to victory may be about to appear!

"I discard [Bone Lord] from my hand, and send cards equal to the number of Bone Lords in my Graveyard from the top of my Deck to the Graveyard. I have 9 Bone Lords in my Graveyard, so I send all 9 Bone Lords from the top of my Deck to the Graveyard."

"Because I sent 'Bone King' to the graveyard, I selected two bone monsters to add to my hand and then discarded one. I chose 'Bone King' and 'Bone Nightmare,' discarding 'Bone King.' Then, because 'Minotaur' was sent to the graveyard earlier, I banished 'Minotaur' to Special Summon 'Banshee of the Corpse World' from my hand. Next, I activated 'Resurrection' on the field, banishing 'Zombie Lord' from my deck to revive 'Zombie Lord' from the graveyard."

"If I activate the effect of Fire Defender, and there is another ACE monster on my field, change the [Zombie Lord] on your field to face-down Defense Position."

"I discard [Bone Nightmare] from my hand to Special Summon banished [Bone]. I set a Link Mark on [Bone], confirm with the arrow, and Link Summon [Sacrifice Demon Anima]. I activate its effect: target 1 face-up monster in this card's linked zone. Equip that face-up monster to this card as an Equip Card." And in front of Anima is [Rescue Ace Team Turbulent Fire Truck].

"I activate the effect of Anima."

"Don't even think about succeeding! I activate the trap card [E Extinguish!] to destroy [Sacrifice Demon Anima]," Ace thought to himself. The White Bone King's effect should be passive; he'd better save [C Control!] for it.

"Except for the horse-headed demon of the graveyard, rise again, O King of Bones who rises from among the ancient bones, roar in defiance on behalf of all the departed! This strike pierces heaven and earth, Special Summoning the Bone King ATK: DEF:0"

"You have attack power? Unfortunately, it's no use against my carefully laid defenses. I'll activate [C Control!] to disable your Bone King's attack; its effect is nullified. Also, because I have [Rescue Ace Team Fire Hydrant] on my field, your Bone King can't be used as material for Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Summoning."

"Your fireproof net is indeed powerful, but I have already prepared a countermeasure. In addition to the [Bone Lord] in the graveyard, I will resurrect a [Bone] or [Bone King] in the graveyard. What I will resurrect is the [Bone Lady]."

"Hey, this isn't a skeleton!" Ai Xiao said hurriedly.

"【Lady White Bone】in the Graveyard can be considered as a skeleton. When 【Lady White Bone】is summoned, her passive effect is triggered: Level 3 or lower Zombie monsters on my field are unaffected by your Spell and Trap Cards. Therefore, the Bone King is freed from the effect of 【C Control!】, and the attack returns to point. Bone King, attack 【Rescue Ace Team Turbulent Fire Truck】, come on, ace against ace!"

"Haha, alright, I'll activate my two [R Enhancement!] cards on the field, increasing the attack of [Rescue ACE Team Turbulent Fire Truck] by 3000 points, bringing its attack to 6500 points."

-6500 = 8500, Ace received 8500 damage, and his health was instantly depleted.
