Part 2: 01x06 - Doom in Bloom

[bunniefuu]

(girl) So I ended up studying for about six hours before I fell asleep.

(girl) Not cool!

Uh, Shark?

It's only you.

What's up with you, Shark?

Hey, not so loud!

What gives?

Why are you acting so weird?

Yeah, is someone after you?

Perhaps Shark is being followed

by our mutual foes.

The Barians?

(boy) Who is she?

Whoa, she's really, really cute.

(boy) Who's the new girl?

(boy) Is this what a crush feels like?

(girl) Sheesh, Reginald!

I thought we'd walk to school together.

Why did you leave me behind?

What are you, too cool to be seen

with your younger sister?

Hi, great to see you

back on your feet, Rio!

I'm Tori!

It's so nice to meet some friendly faces!

What a great start to my first day of class.

Hopefully we can all end up being friends.

I'll so be your friend!

I mean, welcome to our school!

(boy) I'm gonna ask her to the dance.

(boy) It bother anyone that she's Shark's sister?

(boy) No, not really.

(boy) Me neither!

I see.

So you would like me to win Yuma's Numbers

from him then, Girag?

That's not all.

I want you to win me someone else's Number too.

Shark!

Ah, Shark.

It just so happens that his younger sister Rio

is now attending our school.

(Girag) Well, that's a little fact we'll have to exploit!

I want you to get a hold of this "Rio"

then use her as bait to get to Shark and his Number!

But of course Girag.

I will do everything I can in the name of Barian World.

(all) In the name of Barian World!

(Tori) I'm glad you were finally well enough to leave the hospital.

So you're totally, % back to normal now?

Yep, good as new!

I had to get better because Reginald needs me.

He'd lose his head if it wasn't attached to his neck.

Why, just this morning he overslept.

If I hadn't stopped him he would have run

out of the house in his pajamas.

Ha, bet they have little sharks on 'em.

His PJs aren't even the worst part, he sleeps with--

Rio, watch what you say!

Remember, I've read your diary!

So be quiet or else.

Or else what?

Well, Mr. Night Light?

Just never mind!

By the way, aren't you the one who dueled Reginald

and actually b*at him?

Yeah, of course, I know who you are!

I guess I am getting pretty popular.

You sure are, Kite Tenjo!

I'm Yuma!

Yuma Tsukumo!

Oh, yeah!

I've heard of you too!

You're the one who always lucks out

and wins by accident, right?

Did you say "by accident"?

How's your catchphrase go?

Think I got it!

I am healing my toe!

No, it's "I'm feeling the flow!"

You sure?

That sounds wrong to me.

Excuse me?

Ah, at last we meet, Rio Kastle!

Hey there.

Can I help you? Yes, you can.

I'm the captain of the soccer team.

We need you!

Join us and manage the school team.

Are you in?

(clamoring)

Wow it is nice to be wanted!

After school I'll visit each of your teams

and select the one that'll be the best fit for me.

(all) Yeah!

(Bronk) This is nuts!

You mean she's gonna take on

the whole soccer team by herself?

Rio is challenging all the teams at our school.

She said she'll join the one that can b*at her.

Seems unfair to me, though.

The odds are not in her favor!

Okay, Rio.

You may think your good, but no one is this good.

That was true, 'til now!

Here goes!

No way!

She made it through them all!

Amazing!

Come on!

(Rio) You guys can do better than this!

If you want me to manage your team,

then try bringing your game up to my level!

Wow, Rio!

That was, like, totally insane!

Why, thank you, Yuma.

(boy) She's so full of herself!

(boy) She won't make any friends with that 'tude!

(boy) Like brother like sister!

Those guys are so rude.

It's okay I ignore people like that.

Some people resent it when a girl turns out

to be more than just a pretty face.

A pretty face, she's so much more.

She's the girl I'd split my lunch with!

(girl) You're Rio Kastle, right?

Excuse me, sorry to interrupt.

The president of our club has heard

really great things about you.

She'd love to meet!

Are you free to drop by right now?

(woman) Thank you for coming, Rio.

I am Lotus Hanazoe, the head of the school floral design club

and I'm pleased you brought your friends with you.

I think you will find our club the perfect place

to let your roots settle.

We'll provide you a sunny patch

to flourish in our little garden.

Haven't you trimmed that flower enough?

There's not much left. Oh, not at all.

We pride ourselves on knowing just how far to take our flora

so that each bud may fully blossom.

And soon, my new sprouts...

(Astral) Yuma?

Yuma...

Yuma!

Yuma, look all around you!

Why is everyone sleeping?

I suspect she has lulled them into a trance

using the tenor of her voice.

But, why would she?

What's she planning?

The answer may lie in the darkness I am sensing.

I suspect she is an agent of Barian World!

Are they okay? Impressive.

You resisted the power of my voice.

What are you up to, huh?

I see no harm in telling you.

My plan was to use Rio, as bait,

to get to Shark and his Number.

That is so wrong!

Perhaps, but you may like my new plan better.

As you avoided group nap time,

I will duel you for your Numbers! Think again!

You'll... ow!

Pins and needles, make it stop!

Ow, ow, ow, ow! You are funny Yuma.

Sad, but funny. I'll show you funny!

(Rio) And I'll be here watching!

Not you too!

Rio!

I thought you fell asleep as well?

Something just didn't feel right to me,

so I faked falling under her control!

My, my, what a clever girl you are!

Listen, don't worry about a thing Rio!

Yuma's on the job, you're safe with me here!

I'll protect you! I'll be okay.

Lotus I heard all about your big plan!

You stay away from my brother Shark, you hear me?

If you want to duel someone, then duel me!

Really?

You will regret that.

We'll see about that!

(computer voice) Augmented Reality Vision Link established.

Let's duel!

Now I will start us off!

My turn, I draw!

This duel has just begun to bloom.

I summon Fire Lily in att*ck mode!

And I activate the field spell Zen Garden!

Not only does it beautify the scenery,

but Water monsters can no longer att*ck.

Lotus' first draw certainly proves her duel deck

was ready and waiting to battle against Shark.

Your first problem has just sprouted up in the duel field.

You see when I have one flower,

my garden allows me to plant another.

And that will be Ferocious Flora!

Now when there are two Plant-Type monsters

on my field, I can summon my Cosmos!

She summoned three Level monsters already.

I overlay Level Fire Lily, Ferocious Flora and Cosmos!

With these three monsters, I build the Overlay Network

and Xyz Summon Battlecruiser Dianthus!

And now due to Zen Garden's effect

my long planned strategy will really take root!

You see Xyz Monsters gain att*ck points

for every rank they have!

If you think things look bleak now,

just wait until I activate Dianthus' special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit, you take points of damage

for every card in your hand,

so with five cards in your hand,

you will take , points of damage!

Go Big Cannon!

Rio!

I believe your confidence has been uprooted.

I place one card facedown and end my turn!

Not bad Lotus, but it's my move, I draw!

I summon Blizzard Falcon!

Next I activate the spell card Blizzard Jet from my hand!

Now my Blizzard Falcon gains a bone chilling

, att*ck points for this turn!

, att*ck points!

That's awesome, but not for you Lotus!

Pity.

All that effort for naught.

My Zen Garden field spell prevents Water Monsters

such as your Falcon from attacking.

Who says I'll be attacking?

I'm activating Blizzard Falcon's special ability!

Since Blizzard Falcon gained , att*ck points this turn,

you take , points of damage!

Aw, yeah! I concur.

It seems Rio knows what she is doing.

I place three cards facedown and end my turn!

Rio Kastle...

She just won't go down without a fight.

Dueling me was a foolish move!

And now you will reap what you have sown.

My turn, I draw!

So from my hand, I activate Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force!

And now I rebuild the Overlay Network

with Battlecruiser Dianthus!

Go Chaos Xyz Evolution!

Barian power born of chaos...

visit your judgment on this world of filth!

Come forth, Chaos Xyz Battleship Cherry Blossom!

(Lotus) Say hello to my Cherry Blossom!

Watch out Rio! I got this Yuma.

Oh, I highly doubt that.

You see, due to Zen Garden's effect,

my Xyz Monster gains att*ck points for each of its ranks!

Now the hopelessness you feel is about to double as I activate

Cherry Blossom's special ability.

By using one Chaos Overlay Unit,

you take points of damage for every card on the field.

You have four cards and I have three.

Do you know what that makes?

Ah, math sneak att*ck!

Okay three and four is, um...

Wait, I got this! , points of damage!

It appears my Cherry Blossom made sure

you felt the burn that time.

But how-- you should be cinders!

I don't lose my cool that easy, Lotus.

You see before Cherry Blossom's special ability kicked in,

I activated the trap card Diamond Dust!

It destroyed my Water Attribute monster.

So I only had two cards on my field

and just took , points of damage!

And that's only the beginning of what this trap card can do!

But I don't think you'll like the rest!

You take points of damage for every monster

that was destroyed.

Rio's a great duelist, isn't she?

I am afraid that remains to be seen, Yuma.

You are as bothersome as a weed in a garden,

it is time I prune you for good!

And this should do the trick nicely.

Cherry Blossom att*ck!

Flower Shower!

Nice try but I activate the trap Ice Chain!

This card will put a stop your strategy

by letting me summon one Level -or-below

Water Attribute monster from my hand!

So help me welcome back my Aurora Wing!

Since my Aurora Wing was destroyed in battle,

I can summon it back from my graveyard in defense mode!

Well, that move bought you a tiny bit of time.

Speaking of which, I will bide mine.

I place one card facedown and end my turn.

Now there's something on my mind I really must ask.

Tell me, how much longer can you hang on?

Let's find out!

I draw!

Now I activate the spell card Monster Reborn!

It allows me to summon Blizzard Falcon from my graveyard!

I will welcome your monster back with the trap Rose Marker!

And just like the flower, Rose Marker is prickly.

When you activate a card,

it deals you a total of points of damage.

Oh no, Rio!

Looks like Lotus still has plenty of bad seeds

in her garden!

Yes, very well put Yuma, because you see...

Now, just like a flower that has been neglected

and left out in the cold, I will watch you wilt!

(Lotus) And now, like a flower that has been left out in the cold,

I will watch you wilt!

That won't be happening anytime soon!

You see I just made a change to my strategy,

and that means I'll be winning this duel much sooner

than I imagined!

Bet you want to know how,

well, if you think our duel's been icy,

you haven't seen anything yet!

I overlay Level Blizzard Falcon and Aurora Wing!

With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!

I Xyz Summon Ice Beast Zerofyne!

Your monster certainly can make an entrance.

But it takes more than a chilling entry to defeat me.

Oh, not to worry.

Your Zen Garden will help, too.

Zerofyne gains att*ck points per rank

because of your field spell!

I activate Zerofyne's special ability.

By using one Overlay Unit,

all other face up cards lose their effects!

And now I use the ability Perfect Freeze!

For every card that loses its effects,

your monster loses att*ck points.

That means Cherry Blossom loses att*ck points.

Since Zen Garden lost its effects,

Xyz Monsters no longer have an att*ck boost.

I'd say your Zen Garden just got trampled!

This sets the stage for my next move.

Now Zerofyne!

att*ck Cherry Blossom!

No I think not, because I activate

the spell Flower Judgment!

Your monster's special ability disabled my face up cards!

But I can still use my facedown cards!

And this spell sends all of Cherry Blossom's Overlay Units

to the graveyard, but Cherry Blossom

gains att*ck points for each one!

So I do not think your silly Zerofyne

will pose any thr*at to my monster.

It's got , att*ck points!

All your icy att*cks are no match

for my frightful Flower Monsters!

Think again!

Your chances of winning are about to get snowed in!

I activate the spell Freezing Point!

Since your Xyz Monster has no Overlay Units,

it loses all its att*ck points!

So thanks to my spell, your monster

has gone from powerful to powerless!

This cannot be happening!

My flowers have never failed me!

They say there's a first time for everything!

Show her Zerofyne!

att*ck Cherry Blossom with Icicle Storm!

Yeah, you did it, Rio!

You're a real Ice Queen!

(Rio) Excuse me?

Well, you know what I meant...

Yeah, I do, just messing with you.

I'm not Reginald.

I have a sense of humor, you know.

Rio won?

When is my losing streak gonna' end?

Hope they don't hear about this in Barian World...

What happened?

How did we all fall asleep?

Did we have a slumber party?

(Shark) Hey, Rio, caught the match.

It was an okay duel I guess.

But Shark, you missed it!

Nope, I saw it!

You watched the whole time?

Yep, upset I didn't give you any pointers?

I don't need your help!

Rio dueled like a real pro.

She is one tough cookie. Nah.

Deep down, she goes to pieces pretty quickly.

Cat, cat, cat!

Don't tell me you're scared of a kitten?

C'mon. I know it's weird,

but they give me the heebie jeebies!

Aww, but look how cute she is.

Reginald, I need you to get rid of it now!

I thought you said you don't need my help, Rio?

Come on!

She's cute when she's terrified!

No!
