Yu-Gi-Oh: I have a Card Printing Skill!

"I'll go first. Draw!" Momoyo's fingers flicked across her deck, drawing a card with practiced ease. A confident smirk tugged at her lips as she eyed her hand.

"Let's start strong. I activate the Spell Card- Summon Capture!"

A green card flipped open on her field as a ghostly hand emerged from the card.

"With this, I can peek at your hand and steal one monster to Normal Summon on my side. Show me what you've got, little brother."

The five cards in Yumi's hand shimmered into view: Elemental Fusion, Pot of Greed, De-Fusion, Elemental HERO Lady Heat, Take Over 5.

Momoyo grinned wider. "Aw, only one monster? Guess I'll just have to borrow that cute hero of yours."

The spectral hand snatched Elemental HERO Lady Heat and dropped it onto her field.

"I Normal Summon Lady Heat in Defense Position."

Lady Heat materialized on Momoyo's side, blinking in confusion as she saw her master standing on the other side.

Lady Heat: "Master? Why... why are you over there?"

Her gaze shifted, realizing the one who'd summoned her wasn't Yumi, but his grinning older sister.

[Elemental HERO Lady Heat, 1000 DEF]

"Gotta say, your HERO's got style." Momoyo chuckled, eyeing the fire heroine, before slipping out her next card.

"Next, I activate Pillager! Let me see your hand again, and I'll take... Pot of Greed!"

Once more, another card from his hand was taken by her, and she swiftly activated it.

"I'll activate Pot of Greed, letting me draw two cards."

In a swift motion, she drew two cards.

"Now, I'll play The Forceful Sentry! Return a card from your hand to your deck. And I'll send Take Over 5 back."

Yumi calmly slotted Take Over 5 back into his deck. Only two cards left now.

Momoyo's grin turned sharp. "Time for Delinquent Duo! I pay 1000 Life Points,"

[Momoyo, LP 4000 -> 3000]

"I can choose a card in your hand and make you discard it. And if you have any other cards, discard 1 more card too. Since you've only got two... well, you know the drill."

Without waiting for the formality, Yumi tossed both remaining cards, Elemental Fusion and De-Fusion, into the Graveyard, his hand now empty.

Around them, onlookers watched in stunned silence, jaws dropping.

In one turn, Momoyo had shredded her opponent's entire hand while maintaining a full grip of five cards herself.

"Now I'll Normal Summon Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous in Attack Position!"

At last, Momoyo summoned a monster of her own, a young girl with flowing blonde hair, clad in adventurer's garb, wielding a hammer fashioned from a dragon's skull.

[Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous, 1500 ATK] 

"During my Main Phase, I can tribute Ecclesia to Special Summon a Swordsoul monster straight from my deck!"

Ecclesia shimmered into light, vanishing as a golden portal swirled open.

"Come forth, my powerful and beautiful main wife... The Iris Swordsoul!"

A striking woman emerged, white shirt, blue combat skirt, long silver-white hair flowing beneath a large conical metal hat. Three sword sheaths rested at her back, two of them filled. She held a long blade in her right hand.

[The Iris Swordsoul, 2500 ATK]

Iris kept her head low, calm at first, but the moment she lifted her gaze and realized who stood across from her, a blush colored her cheeks. She quickly averted her eyes.

After all, this was awkward, Yumi, her creator, watching as his sister just casually called Iris her wife.

Yumi had gifted Iris, Ecclesia, and other cards to Momoyo before she'd left to "study abroad", though he hadn't realized that meant Duel Academy.

Which is why Yumi was surprised to see Momoyo when she first appeared before him, but since he understood her personality, he didn't ask further.

When Momoyo first received Iris, she was overjoyed. Beautiful badass female monster, with decent Attack and Defense, along with a good effect too.

What more can she ask for an ace monster?

Plus, Yumi's intention when giving Momoyo those cards was so that she would have some Duel Spirits to protect her if any Duel Spirits try to attack her in the future.

Which is why this reunion between those Duel Spirits and their creator felt so awkward.

It is like her master sent her out to protect his sister, but she marries her instead.

"I'll set two cards face down!"

Momoyo set down two more cards before pulling out another card from her hand.

"Finally, I'll activate the spell card Riryoku. Target one of my monsters, half your Life Points, and that monster gains ATK equal to your current Life Point, but that monster can't attack this turn."

She said with a smirk before pointing toward her 'wife'. 

"And I choose Iris."

[Yumi, LP 4000 -> 2000]

[The Iris Swordsoul, 2500 -> 4500 ATK]

Her fans watching nearby went wild, cheering on their Empress as she effortlessly built a field of overwhelming force, crippling Yumi's hand, slashing his Life Points in half, and summoning a monster with 4500 ATK in a single turn.

"I end my turn. And during my End Phase, Lady Heat burns you for 200 damage for each Elemental HERO I control."

Lady Heat hesitated, guilt flashing in her eyes, but she followed her effect, sending a burst of flame toward her true master.

[Yumi, LP 2000 -> 1800]

Celina, watching from the sidelines, could barely speak.

"So strong..." she murmured, stunned by the sheer dominance of Momoyo's play.

The other first-year student, who is also watching this duel, nodded along, agreeing with her.

"Not bad, sis. My turn!"

Instead of looking panicked, Yumi smirked and placed his hand on his deck.

"Draw!"

"Trap card open! Drop Off!"

One of Momoyo's face-down cards flipped up.

"When you draw during your Draw Phase, you have to discard that card!"

Groans rippled through the Slifer Red crowd. Their strongest duelist's hand was already empty, and now, the only card he could draw was gone before he could use it.

How could he stage a comeback like this?

Yumi exhaled quietly, a smile lingering on his lips.

"You really don't go easy on your little brother, huh?"

He sent his freshly drawn card to the graveyard. But instead of looking desperate, he smirked.

"During my Standby Phase, I'll remove Take Over 5 from my grave and deck to draw cards equal to the number of copies I removed!"

Momoyo's confident grin faltered for the first time.

"Tch! Your luck... still ridiculous as ever."

Realizing the card her brother just discarded was a copy of Take Over 5.

"I removed two copies from my deck and one from my grave to draw three cards!"

Yumi removed his three copies of Take Over 5 and drew three new cards.

Cards whipped into his hand. Without hesitation, Yumi slammed down one.

"I activate the spell, A Hero Lives! Since I control no face-up monsters, I can pay half my Life Points to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Elemental HERO from my deck!"

[Yumi, LP 1800 -> 900]

Water bubbled and swirled on his field as a familiar figure emerged.

"Come forth, Elemental HERO Bubbleman!"

[Elemental HERO Bubbleman, 800 ATK]

"When Bubbleman is summoned and I control no other cards, I get to draw two cards!"

Two more cards slid into his hand. Without pause, he played another.

"Spell card, Metamorphosis! I transform Bubbleman on my field into Elemental HERO Neo Bubbleman!"

Bubbleman's form shimmered, his armor morphing into a sleeker, more aquatic design.

[Elemental HERO Neo Bubbleman, 800 ATK]

"Neo Bubbleman's effect activates! When he's summoned, I get to draw two more cards!"

Another one of Yumi's adjustments, since Neo Bubbleman is basically a more powerful version of Bubbleman, and what Bubbleman is most known for is his ability to let the player summon him to draw two cards.

Which is why Yumi added this effect, an overall upgrade for the water hero.

Two more cards joined Yumi's hand. 

"And while Neo Bubbleman is on the field, his name is treated as Bubbleman."

The duel had shifted in a flash, Yumi had rebuilt his hand and field from nothing. The onlookers held their breath, watching the tides turn.

Yumi drew a card and slapped it onto his Duel Disk.

"I'll Normal Summon Elemental HERO Solid Soldier!"

A warrior in gleaming metal armor, his diamond-shaped visor glinting, leapt onto the field.

[Elemental HERO Solid Soldier, 1300 ATK]

"Solid Soldier's effect activates! When he's Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower HERO from my hand!"

Yumi placed another card down in a single, fluid motion.

"Come forth, Elemental HERO Shadow Mist!"

A swirl of dark mist formed beside Solid Soldier, coalescing into the slender frame of a female warrior with long blue hair and a cold, piercing gaze.

[Elemental HERO Shadow Mist, 1000 ATK]

"Shadow Mist's effect! When Special Summoned, I add a 'Change' Quick-Play Spell from my deck to my hand!"

Yumi added the card to his hand without missing a beat.

From Momoyo's side, a low whistle.

"Not bad. She's got a nice figure. That waist… those hips..." Momoyo shamelessly commented, eyeing Shadow Mist up and down.

Lady Heat, still trapped on Momoyo's field, flushed with embarrassment, seeing the look her colleague was giving her, it was like they were asking.

Did you really leave Master for a woman?

Yumi ignored his sister's antics and pressed on.

"I activate Double Fusion! I pay 500 Life Points to perform two Fusion Summons!"

[Yumi, LP 900 -> 400]

"First, I fuse Neo Bubbleman and Solid Soldier!"

The heroes leapt into a swirling vortex. A cold gust swept the field as a gleaming white-armored warrior landed with a crash, ice spiraling around him. His long white cape billowed in the cold wind.

"Elemental HERO Absolute Zero!"

[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero, 2500 ATK]

Jaden's eyes sparkled.

"Whoa! So many new HEROes! Awesome!"

Momoyo crossed her arms, her smirk deepening as she felt the pressure of the cold aura rolling off the hero.

"Now I fuse Absolute Zero and Shadow Mist!"

The cold gave way to dark energy as the two heroes were drawn into another vortex.

"Arise, Elemental HERO Escuridao!"

A jet-black figure emerged, monstrous in form, claws gleaming, four sharp wings jutting from its back.

[Elemental HERO Escuridao, 2500 ATK]

"Ehh? A fusion monster that needs two fusion monsters as material?" Jaden scratched his head in confusion. 

"You're wrong. Absolute Zero and Escuridao might be both Elemental HEROes, but Yumi calls them Omni-Heroes." Celina said, causing the onlookers to turn toward her, all having confused expressions.

"To put it short, Omni-Heroes are just a set of Elemental HEROes fusion monsters that need an Elemental HERO plus a monster of a specific Attribute." She turned back toward the duel, since she had already dueled with him multiple times, the Omni-Heroes' function is quite well known to her.

"I see, so Absolute Zero is made using Elemental HERO Solid Soldier and the WATER monster Neo Bubbleman. Then Escuridao used Elemental HERO Absolute Zero and the DARK monster Shadow Mist." Alexis concludes.

She originally came here to see Jaden and Celina, but she got dragged by them into watching this duel. Now she is quite interested in seeing this duel play out.

"Solid Soldier's effect activated when he leaves the field by the effect of a Spell Card, I can choose a 'HERO' monster in my grave and Special Summon it in Defense Position!" 

A card popped out from his GY, and Yumi placed it on his duel disk.

"The follow-up effect of Absolute Zero activates!" 

A chill swept over Momoyo's side, as all of her monsters were frozen in ice.

"I'll activate my 'wife' effect!" Momoyo said, sensing that something bad was going to happen as ice began encasing Iris.

"When you Special Summon a monster from either your hand, deck, or extra deck, I can activate one of her effects based on where you special summoned your monster." 

"Since your monster, Escuridao, was Special Summoned from your extra deck, I get to destroy that monster!" 

Iris threw her blade, sending it flying toward Escuridao just as the ice fully encased her.

Yumi kept the momentum.

"Quickplay spell- Mask Change!" He quickly activated the spell. "Transforming my HERO into a Masked HERO with the same Attribute!"

Escuridao's body glowed a bright golden light as the hero did a quick backflip, avoiding the blade before landing back on the ground in a hero pose.

The once dark, monstrous armor has turned into a slick black oni-theme armor.

"Henshin! Masked HERO Anki!"

[Masked HERO Anki, 2800 ATK]

"Masked HERO... New type of HEROes huh." Momoyo murmurs, before a smirk forms on the corner of her lips.

"When Absolute Zero leaves the field, all of your monsters are destroyed!"

The ice began to crack.

"Freezing At Moment!"

The ice shattered, crystalline shards bursting through the air as her field was wiped clean.

"Not bad, little bro. You've grown." Momoyo complimented.

Once the chains finished, the dark heroine reappeared on his side, kneeling down with her arms crossed in a defensive stance.

[Elemental HERO Shadow Mist, 1500 DEF]

The onlookers were once again amazed, seeing Yumi's epic comeback from zero cards to a 2800 ATK monster, clearing Momoyo's monsters, while able to refresh his hand back to four cards.

"Battle, Anki," Yumi commanded, slicing his hand through the air. "Player direct attack!"

The oni HERO rushed forward like a living shadow, before jumping up, doing a front spin, and performing the famous rider kick down at Momoyo.

But Momoyo smirked, eyes glinting.

"Too naive, little brother! Trap card open! Blazing Mirror Force!"

Her face-down flipped up in a burst of light, forming a blazing orange barrier that blocked Anki's strike.

"This trap can only be activated when you declare an attack. Destroy all of your Attack Position monsters and inflict damage to you equal to half the destroyed monsters' ATK!"

The barrier flared, with his Life Points at 400, even a fraction of Anki's power would end the duel.

The flame spread out, ready to engulf the DARK HERO.

Reacting fast, Yumi pulled out another card.

"Quickplay spell- Form Change!"

Anki's body glows a golden light, jumping back, retreating beside the kneeling Shadow Mist, before he also kneels down with his arms crossed.

"Return a Fusion 'HERO' monster I control back to my Extra Deck, and Special Summon a 'Masked HERO' monster with the same Level but a different Attribute."

The light shifted, armor reshaping, taking on the form of a smooth green and white armor, the hero's majestic white cape billowing behind him.

"Cast off! Masked HERO Divine Wind!"

[Masked HERO Divine Wind, 1900 DEF]

The flames crashed down, but both HEROes knelt firm, untouched. Blazing Mirror Force's destructive power failed against their defensive stances.

Momoyo chuckled, crossing her arms.

"You actually dodged it. Nice move."

Yumi exhaled slowly before giving her a smile.

"I have a feeling it was either Mirror Force... or Magic Cylinder." Looking down at his hand, he quickly slid it into his Duel Disk. "Spell card, Triple Tactics Talent!"

The image of a war fan being swung appeared behind him, like it were trying to guide him into battle.

"Since you activated a monster effect this turn. I can select one of these effects from this card to activate. And I choose to draw two more cards." 

He swiftly added the cards to his hand. Without missing a beat, he set two cards on his Duel Disk.

"I set two cards face down and end my turn."
