Chapter 71. Bastion Vs. Tania
4,000 Bastion ---- 4,000 Tania
Tania smirked while looking at her hand. “I’ll go first! As they say, in order to win in love, you must attack!” Bastion frowned and remained silent so as not to increase the amount of teasing coming from most of the guys watching the scene. From his friends, to the random classmates he hardly knew, all were chuckling at his expense. “First I’ll summon Unfriendly Amazon to the field!”

A frowning woman, covered in a tattered black cloth, wielded a sword casually as she stared Bastion down. “Holy!? 2000 Attack for a level 4!? What kinda shit is she taking!?” Chazz yelled in disbelief, but Bastion just smirked while Tania continued her turn. “Next, I’ll use my Amazoness Baby Tiger’s effect to special summon itself from my hand, as I just summoned an Amazoness.” It was then that a small baby tiger appeared before flopping on its belly, and almost appeared to greet everyone with its meow.

She had placed in defense position for the sake of her Health Points, and placed another two cards in her back row. “I Draw!” Bastion announced before glancing at his hand. He calculated varying options, trying to see which one might be best, but it didn’t take long for him to make his first move. “I summon Gamma the Electromagnet Warrior! In defense position!” A large magnet machine appeared on the field with his arms ready to protect his vitals.

“I’ll use his ability, that when he’s summoned to the field, I’m allowed to special summon another Magnet Warrior monster from my hand, and I just so happen to have one right here. Rise! Beta The Electromagnet Warrior!” A much smaller magnet machine appeared on the field, just beside the first warrior Bastion summoned. His magnet arms sparked in wait for attack.

Bastion smirked while detaching his deck from his Duel Disk, and pilfering through his various cards. “Now, Beta here also has an effect when summoned to the field. Allowing me to search my deck for another Magnet Warrior to add to my hand. For instance my Alpha, the Electromagnetic Warrior. However that will come into play later, for now, as you mentioned, it is time for attack. Beta! Attack her Baby Tiger!”
The small magnet warrior rushed to Tania’s side of the field, and grabbed the baby tiger, electrocuting the poor thing before it shattered into pieces. “Boooo!!” “Animal Cruelty!” “Baby hater!” Bastion scowled at many of the onlookers in the stands, snarkily jeering him for killing such a cute cub. Tania smiled at him while revealing her trap card. “I like that in a man. Unwilling to be swayed easily by charms.” She glanced over at me, making me frown while Alexis smacked my arm again. “I activate my trap! Pride of Tribe! Allowing me to special summon an Amazoness monster from my deck since one was just destroyed. And I choose my Amazoness Swordswoman!”

He then sighed before finishing up his turn. “Next I place two cards face down and end my turn.” Tania smiled at him with a nod, enjoying their duel. “I Draw!” She yelled, looking at her card with a smile. “And since I don’t want to tribute my Swordswoman, I’ll have to send my Unfriendly Amazon to the graveyard instead.” The scowling warrior disappeared, before Tania continued her turn. “The reason why I kept my Swordswoman was so I could tribute her for this! My Amazoness Queen!” The woman before us, gained a crown, and a throne, sitting down to her rightful position.

“And since I summoned an Amazoness to the field, I’m allowed to summon my Baby Tiger back from the grave! In Defense Mode!” The tiny tiger happily cheered its return, much to the happiness of the crowd.

“Now I’ll equip my Amazoness Queen with my Fusion Sword Murasame Blade! Granting her 800 attack points, and making her unable to be destroyed by card effects! Adding to her own ability of all Amazoness’ being unable to be destroyed by battle, and there is no chance of your victory! Sorry hon~ I really want a mate~” She blushed with a massive smile, causing Bastion to avoid her gaze, not able to look at her without his own face going red.
“Now! I’ll have my Queen destroy your Beta!” She cheered, the Amazoness Queen casually walking from her throne and beheaded the Magnet Warrior. Bastion grunted, but his smirk, as well as his life points never fell. “I activate my continuous trap! Spirit Barrier! As long as I have a monster on the field, I take no battle damage!” Tania smirked. “That was the card you took from your other deck. Oh~ I love it~ I’m in love with you sweetie~!”
Bastion shook his head, trying to keep his thoughts clear as he started his turn. “I Draw!” Bastion glanced at his card before placing it into his hand. “Next, I’ll summon my Alpha, the Electromagnetic Warrior to the field!” Another kind of magnet warrior appeared on the field, this one holding a lance made up of the same metal parts as the others.

“And using his effect, I’m allowed to search my deck for a level 8 Magna Warrior, and add it to my hand.” He announced, searching his deck for a second time. He smirked while showcasing his monster. “And since it is added to my hand, I’m allowed to banish my Alpha, Beta, and Gamma to special summon him to the field! Watch them all combine to create my strongest Warrior! Berserkion!” Bastion yelled, proud at what he was creating.
We all witnessed his Beta appearing from the grave to meet up with the other two monsters on his field. When they were all together, their bodies began to shake before finally breaking apart into pieces. Sparks flurried from their bodies, levitating pieces together to form a new monster. Finally revealing itself with a loud cry that sounded like scraping metal.

The ground shook from its mechanical wails, but Bastion was calmly standing proud, his arms crossed over his chest. “I may not be able to destroy your monsters yet, but I can still deal damage to your life points!” Bastion announced, glancing back at me with a smile for some reason. “Hah! Looks like Bastion learned something from you wiping the floor with Chazz’s older brother!” Jayden laughed, patting my back while cheering Bastion on. “Nice one!”
