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

Chapter 43 Ace vs. Flame King

"That idiot Xiao Yi, I couldn't resist his pleading and begging, so I asked him to help me check if anyone was still in that dilapidated building next door?"

"He materialized his [True Flame King Phoenix], but before the little bird could take flight, a rock fell from the dilapidated building."

"That idiot Xiao Yi immediately materialized the [Flame King Divine Beast, Roc Phoenix], blasting the rocks apart but also adding a lot of fire. If I hadn't dodged quickly, it wouldn't just be the terminal that was damaged."

"But even so, Captain Ace can't call my Phoenix Warrior a noob!"

"My brother was so angry just now that he yelled at him, saying that Phoenix, that weakling, even if it got hit by a rock, would at most get a bump."

“I think you’re right. No matter what, Kaling shouldn’t be killed by a rock. If all else fails, just deconjure it,” Di Xing agreed with Ace.

"I admit I was wrong, but it was also wrong of Captain Ace to call my Phoenix a weakling. Captain Ace, I demand that you apologize to my Phoenix."

The phoenix blinked its innocent eyes and hopped around, trying to reassure Xiao Yi. It wanted to show that it didn't really care and that Xiao Yi shouldn't argue with Ace.

Di Xing looked at the adorable [True Flame King Phoenix] bouncing around in place, thinking about how it was often destroyed as a starting point, and also about its effect of bouncing back and forth between the graveyard and hand.

"Hello everyone, I'm Cai Xukun, a bird who has been practicing sacrificial arts for two and a half years. I like singing, dancing, rapping, and playing basketball."

Xiao Yi turned around in surprise to look at the phoenix, "Red Ball, you can talk!?"

"If you can't name it, don't bother," Di Xing, who was squatting behind the phoenix providing its voice, complained. Then Di Xing stood up.

"I'm not good at reasoning, but you two are both duelists, aren't you?"

"Yes, Captain Ace, I challenge you to a duel. If you lose, you'll have to apologize to Red Ball."

By this time, the surrounding fires had mostly been extinguished; otherwise, Ace wouldn't have had time to stall Xiao Yi. The residents of the Electric Flower District began to gather again, so Ace took out his Duel Disk and used the "Quick Finish" skill.

The two played rock-paper-scissors, and Xiao Yi won. "I go first, I summon [Flame Queen, Fire God Phoenix (Ulcanix)] (Bird/Flame ★4 800/2000)"

"If 【Fire Queen - Phoenix】is Normal or Special Summoned, this effect activates: Destroy 1 FIRE monster in your hand or on the field other than this card; add 1 FIRE monster from your Deck to your hand other than Fire Queen." (C1, Chain 1)

"I chain and activate the card 'Rescue Ace Team - Sky Crane' from my hand. When my opponent activates a monster effect, I Tribute this card from my hand or field to Special Summon 1 Ace Monster from my hand, except Sky Crane." (C2)

"Chain with it, activate the bonus G, discard it to the graveyard, for each monster you Special Summon this turn, I draw 1 card, does it still chain?" (C3)

"No new chain, effect resolution complete. The effect of the Aerial Crane Operator has resolved. I Special Summon [Rescue Ace Team Aerial Fire Extinguisher]." C2 resolution complete.

"Because of G's effect, I draw a card. Also, the effect of Teostra begins to resolve. I destroy 'Teostra Beast Kirin' from my hand and add 'Teostra Divine Beast Kirin' from my Deck to my hand." C1 resolution complete.

"Then, the second effect of [Teostramon Kirin] activates: If this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, send 1 FIRE monster from your Deck to the Graveyard." (c1)

"I activate the second effect of [Rescue ACE Team Aerial Firefighter] in a chain. If you add a card to your hand by a method other than drawing a card, I draw two cards and then discard one card." c2

"I activate the effect of 'Fire King Beast Kirin' from my hand. If this card is in my hand, during either player's Main Phase, destroy 1 FIRE monster you control or have in your hand, other than this card. Special Summon this card. I will destroy 'Fire King's Consort - Fire Phoenix' on my field." (C3)

"Then, the effect of the card 'Holy Flame King, Phoenix' will be activated. If this card is in your hand or Graveyard, and one of your FIRE monsters is destroyed, Special Summon this card." (C4)

"No new franchises, settlement based on results."

C4 resets: "The Sky Overlord returns from the Sanctuary. Emerge from the Flame Ring! Special Summon: [Saint Flame King - Great Phoenix]!"

C3 resolves: "Destroy the Ent Queen, Special Summon [Ent Queen Kirin]"

C2 settlement: "Airborne Fire Extinguisher effect activated, draw two cards and discard one card."

C1 resolves: "Activate the second effect of [Teostramon Kirin], destroy [Teostramon Phoenix] from your Deck."

"If the effect of 【Holy Flame King, Phoenix】 is activated, and this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can destroy 1 FIRE monster from your hand, Deck, or Winged Beast on the field. This card's ATK increases by half the ATK of the monster destroyed by that effect until the End Phase." (C1)

"Then it automatically chaines to the effect of [Fire Queen - Phoenix]. If this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 [Fire Queen - Phoenix] from your Deck in Defense Position." (C2)

"I'm following the chain, discarding the newly drawn, value-added g from my hand." (C3)

Captain Ace also has G.

Results settlement

C3"g's effect passed"

C2 "The sacred flames bring an end to the battle!! The sky overlord who has suddenly attacked from the other side, I Special Summon [Teron Beast - Roc] in Defense Position!"

C1's effect activates "[Sacred Flame King, Phoenix]", destroying "[Flame King Divine Beast, Kirin]" in the Deck.

"When the effect of 【Fire King Beast Kirin】 is activated, if this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 Fire King monster other than this card's name from your hand and Graveyard. After that, you can destroy 1 card on the field."

"I Special Summon [True Flame King Phoenix] to destroy your [Rescue Ace Team Aerial Fire Extinguisher]!"

"G's effect is to draw a card." This is Ace's G.

"Because of the Special Summon of [True Flame King Phoenix], its effect is triggered. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, add one Flame King Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand." C1

"I chain-activate the special effect of [Rescue ACE Team Pulse Firefighter]. When a monster effect is activated on your opponent's field, I Tribute this card from my hand or field to Special Summon 1 Machine-Type ACE Monster from my Deck." (C2)

Results settlement

C2 "Pulse Firefighter effect successfully activated. I hereby Special Summon [Rescue ACE Team Firefighter]"

C1 "Phoenix Phoenix effect approved, I added [Fire King Flame Ring] from my deck to my hand."

"Also, because you Special Summoned [Rescue Ace Team Firefighter], the enhanced G effect activates, I draw 1 card."

"I activate [Sanctuary of the Flame King]. As part of the effect resolution of this card's activation, I can place one [Island of the Flame King] from my Deck face-up in my Field Zone."

As the island of Flame King was placed on the field, a massive volcano slowly rose in the center of the arena.
