01x36 - Duel Distractions, Part 1

[bunniefuu]

Ahh.

[Thinking] ever since that duel with camula,

It's been eerily quiet.

Too quiet.

When the next shadow rider arrives,

It could be my turn to duel.

And with of the spirit gates already open,

It's more important than ever that I be prepared.

Good thing I'm well equipped.

Hmm?

Where on earth did this card come from?

Hmm.

Silly distraction.

Well, nothing distracts me.

[Snoring]

All right.

Ready...get set...

And fire!

Whoa! Aah!

Ha ha ha!

Hit the snooze button.

More like the snooze trigger.

That's getting up with a bang.

Ha ha ha!

Bastion?!

Good morning, sleepyheads!

Yeah, well, it was good.

Yes. Now that we're all awake,

How about some good old-fashioned daybreak duel exercises?

[All groan]

All: one...two...draw!

One...two...draw!

One...two...draw!

One...two...draw!

[Bastion continues]

[Moaning]

Yeah. This was worth getting up for.

Quiet. You'll make me lose count!

Huh? Huh?

What the-- is that thunder nyan nyan?!

Yeah, it is. I got her a while ago.

I kind of have a bit of a card crush on her.

Card crush!

That's so lame, syrus!

At least having one on that card.

Check out mine!

Yeah, she's, uh, real pretty, chum.

Totally reminds me of my girlfriend back home.

Her name's sally-- no, wait, adrianna!

Hey, jaden!

Do you have any card crushes

Hidden away in your dueling deck?

You better believe it!

They bring loads a' luck!

Beg your pardon!

But I thought we were training here!

And training, gentlemen,

Does not comprise of standing around and talking about birds!

Did he say birds?

Ya know what?

I'm thinking that bastion doesn't have a card crush.

A crush on a card?!

Of course not!

That's just plain irrational, illogical, ridiculous!

Hmm?

[Grunts]

Look!

Let's just get back to our dueling exercises,

All right?

Sure! But I do have plans

To play solitaire with thunder nyan nyan in about .

What?!

You'll be breaking that date...

And soon, breaking a sweat!

Now, gentlemen, back to our duel training!

And into the doghouse for me.

She hates it when I cancel on her!

Somehow I think she'll understand, syrus.

Ya think?!

Totally.

It's not like she's a real girlfriend!

Like sally--er, adrianna.

And...draw!

All: one...two...draw!

Hmm. There certainly are a lot of absences today.

Hmm. Must be a bug going around.

[Thinking] none that I've heard of.

There's definitely something strange in the air.

Well, besides all of that snoring.

Huh?

May I help you?

Well...do you recognize this bag?

Yes, it's one of my students'. Why?

Huh?

I wonder why that pack was left all way out here?

Indeed. And, jaden, where its owner is.

I hope that no one is hurt.

Hello?! Anyone out there?

[All yelling]

[All gasp]

Jaden: where did this come from?

I'm going in!

Syrus: wait up!

Chumley: ohh, running.

[Murmuring]

Hey! That guy's from class!

Yeah, so is she!

Oh, my!

Crowler?!

[Groaning]

What are you doing?!

A man's work.

A man's work?

My, they must have been running very short on men.

[Roar] huh?

[Shouting]

First a coliseum, then a tiger--

What's next, a gladiator?!

Actually, I think she prefers the term amazon.

Banner: amazon?!

[All whimpering]

Huh? Huh?

That's right.

And thanks to your friends,

I've been able to finally finish...

My glorious arena!

Arena for what?

[Gasp]

[Grunt]

Dueling!

Job well done!

I had no idea that duel academy students

Could make such fine laborers!

Now, as promised, here's your payment--

Some rare cards!

Well deserved, I might add!

Until next time!

Hey! What is going on?!

What does it look like?

I'm setting the stage, key keeper,

For your vanquishing.

I'm one of the shadow riders!

Uh-oh.

A shadow rider?!

Aw, man.

You mean, aw, wo-man!

Amazons are a warrior race of all females!

Wow! You go, girl.

The name is tania,

And now that the battleground has been established,

It's time that we battle.

Now, then...

Which of you big, strong men will it be?

After all, I would never harm a sister.

Hey, don't do me any favors!

So, which of you males will it be?

Who's my man?!

Right here!

Yours truly!

I'll take you!

Hmm. If this is really the best you have to offer,

Then I suppose I'll pick...

You!

Huh?

Jaden: well, can't duel 'em all.

Hmm.

What is your name?

Bastion... Bastion misawa.

Hmm.

All right, pal! Go and get her!

Syrus: and don't go easy 'cause she's a girl!

Chumley: not like any that I've seen.

All right! Let's do this!

The only question is...

Which deck to choose!

Really? I have the same problem myself.

I have two decks.

One is of knowledge. The other is of courage.

Why don't you go ahead and decide which of the two I use?

Fine, then.

I'll pick the deck of knowledge!

Nice choice. Hmm.

Thank you,

But it's not nearly as nice as the choice

That I am making for myself.

I select my earth deck!

Then let us begin,

And don't worry-- this isn't a shadow game.

Beg your pardon?

You heard me, bastion!

I don't want your soul! I want you, big boy!

Ohh!

It's like this:

My tribe's all women, so to marry...

I have to shop around.

To marry?!

That's right, hon.

Now let's do this.

Duel! Duel!

All right, it's my turn!

And first, I'll summon...

The amazoness swordswoman in attack mode!

Then I'll place one card facedown and end my turn!

I'm up! Ha!

And I summon to the field magnet warrior...

Sigma plus! In attack mode!

And now, magnet warrior,

Attack that amazoness!

Lodestone baton bash!

Why'd bastion lose life points?

Because of my amazoness' ability.

Her opponent takes all battle damage that was dealt to her.

He walked right into that one.

Yeah, that's not like bastion.

Nuh-uh! It's just like bastion.

Think about it!

Sure, he has fewer life points,

But she has fewer monsters!

Smart move!

Yeah, until I play... My facedown card!

Pride of tribe!

This trap activates when amazoness is destroyed!

Now I can summon another one from my deck.

So tell me, who here is the smart one now, hmm?

You miscalculated on that last move!

After all, now we have the same amount of monsters,

But not the same amount of life points!

[Sigh]

I'll play a card facedown,

And that will suffice.

Oh, my! "That will suffice!"

Say it again! It sounded so cool!

You know...

I'm thinking that it's been a couple years

Since tania's interacted with a guy.

Couple years? Try decades, sy!

This lady is man-crazy!

I'm quite flattered.

But I'm well aware of what you're trying to do.

You're trying to distract me.

But I can tell you right now, my dear...

It's simply not going to work.

I'm too focused.

Oh, are you? We'll see!

I play the amazoness blowpiper!

And I play my facedown!

Magnet force minus!

When this card is activated...

It can equip onto one monster!

Then, who it's equipped to...

Gains a negative magnetism

And becomes what's known as a minus monster.

Oh.

And from there, dear,

It gets interesting.

See... Two minus monsters?

Well, I'm afraid

They're not allowed to engage in battle with each other,

But...a minus and a plus?

If they're out, they must fight.

So, since amazoness blowpiper is a minus monster...

And magnet warrior sigma plus is a plus monster...

It's on.

You've heard that old quote,

"Opposites attract"?

Well, I'm afraid it's true!

I know it!

After all, just look at the two of us!

Oh, stop it!

Stop it?

Why don't I just stop you from winning this battle instead?

Go, amazoness spellcaster!

Now one amazoness and one monster on the field

Exchange their attack points with each other!

[Thinking] what?

This is bad.

Now bastion's monster is going to be outmatched!

Attack! Amazoness blowpiper!

[Groaning]

And now,

The amazoness swordswoman will attack you directly!

Go, amazon slash attack!

That was fun.

But how?!

That's two times that she's been able to outthink me.

I guess we know where our kids

Are going to get their smarts from, then.

What?! Our kids?!

We are enemies! Rivals!

During this duel, we are.

But afterwards?

We'll be betrothed to each other!

Just think about it!

You'll be mr. Tania the amazon woman!

You're relentless.

Truly, are you that smitten with me?

I prefer "in love."

You hardly know me!

I know enough.

My little sugar booger. Ugh.

[Thinking] keep your cool, bastion.

She's just trying to distract you,

Like how those silly card crushes distract syrus and chumley.

But you've always been above that!

[Grunt]

No! Get out!

I'm above all this!

Bastion sure is acting weird.

Love works in mysterious ways.

Quiet! I'm not in love!

[Thinking] and I'll prove it by taking tania down!

My turn! Ha!

Right. I activate...

Magnet conductor plus!

This allows me to bring a plus monster

From the graveyard to my hand!

So come on back, magnet warrior sigma plus!

However, he won't be out for long,

Because he and the magnet warrior omega minus from my hand

Are now going right back to the grave

So that I can summon conduction warrior

Linear magnum plus minus!

And now I'll activate warrior magnum plus minus' special ability!

It adds half the attack points

Of one magnet monster on the field

To the warrior magnum's attack points!

He's got her outmatched now!

Now, warrior magnum!

Attack amazoness blowpiper!

With polarizing pulverizing blast!

Unh!

Next I'll place two facedowns,

And I think that'll do.

What a move!

No wonder I love you!

And, sweetie, because I do...

I must beat you.

And with amazoness swordswoman's special ability,

Where even if she loses in battle, you take damage...

I will!

Now, amazoness swordswoman!

Strike down conduction warrior linear magnum plus minus

With amazon slash attack!

[Thinking] this is it!

I better think fast,

Or this duel's going to be over fast!

Tania: amazon slash attack!

Sorry! But I play a facedown!

Power off!

Now warrior magnum plus minus

Splits back into the two monsters

That originated him.

No fair!

Yeah! Tight move!

Yes, I agree.

Guess I'll just have to get you next turn.

And with amazoness paladin now out on the field,

You can be sure I will,

Because my paladin?

She gains an extra attack points

For every card on my field

That has the name "amazoness" in it!

Next, I'll place two cards facedown.

And that'll do for now.

[Thinking] well, at least she's concentrating

On her dueling instead of on me.

All right. It's my move now!

Speaking of moves, sweetie,

I think that...

It's probably best that you move in with me.

You know, after we get married.

Oh, we'll just have the coziest home sweet home!

Ohh.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

Am I distracting you again

With this talk about how much I love you?

And how positively handsome you are?

Ha ha ha! Oh!

There I go again!

[Groaning]

I guess that I simply can't help myself.

I'm head over heels!

Yes...me, too.

[Chuckles]

Tania...

Yuck. Are there barf bags on this flight?

Aw, man! Bastion's getting all flushed!

And all sidetracked!

Not good.

All right!

My turn!

First off,

I summon magnet warrior sigma minus in attack mode!

Next, I'll play my facedown!

, Gauss!

You see, I can activate this

When I have a plus monster and a minus monster out upon my field.

It lets me switch one of your monsters to attack mode

And reduce that monster's attack points by !

All right! That's sweet!

Now bastion's got the monsters

And the match-up he needs!

This duel is totally in the bag!

I would think so, too,

Until I saw dramatic rescue!

It lets me return one of my monsters to my hand

And then summon a different one to the field.

And as you're about to see,

This one is very different, indeed!

Come out, amazoness tiger!

And don't try catching this tiger by the toe,

Because she gains attack points

For each amazoness out on the field.

So not lishus!

And...when this card's out and about,

You're not allowed to attack any other amazoness monsters but it.

So... There's no choice?

He has to attack that tiger?

[Thinking] simple.

I have magnet warriors out.

I'll use one to eliminate amazoness tiger,

Then, another one

To destroy the amazoness swordswoman.

Then, I'll use the remaining one

To attack tania directly and win.

Fun duel!

But I'm afraid it's about to be over!

Go, magnet warrior, omega minus attack,

And tame that amazoness tiger!

You must be distracted.

Otherwise, you most certainly would've seen that...

I have a facedown out!

Amazoness archers!

[Gasp]

Sorry, hon,

But now all of your monsters

Are switched into attack mode

And lose attack points!

They're also all forced to wage battle--

Right this instant!

But if they do that,

They'll have to attack that tiger!

And she has more attack points than any of them!

He walked right into a trap.

What was he thinking?

That's just it.

With all that love talk, I doubt he was.

[Meow]

Now, amazoness tiger!

Show bastion that opposites don't just attract...

They attack!

Sic' him! Fang frenzy!

[Yelling]

[Grunting]

I'm...all yours.

Unh! Bastion!

Kitty?

Ohh! Whoa!

[Shouting]

Oh, no. Bastion.

Hey!

Tania: ha ha ha!

Sorry. Bastion and I

Are officially on our honeymoon now.

So get lost!

This isn't over!
