Turn 16: "Mark vs. Toragami! The Insufficient Belief"
The Duel Academia was all abuzz as they gathered in the arena to watch an exhibition duel - the one that some had been waiting for ever since "that American duelist" arrived at the academy.
Mark Walker was going to duel the Blitzkrieg Queen.
Katsurou Chiba and Isabel Suarez were encouraged by Ayukawa to attend the duel and cheer their friend on, so they were in the audience as well.
"This is amazing," Isabel said. "I never thought Mark would get his duel so quickly."
"And... he asked Toragami-san to not take it easy on him?" Chiba asked, adjusting his glasses.
"Do you think a guy like Mark Walker would have it any other way?"
Chiba nodded and glanced at Mark, who was on the field waiting for his opponent. The crowd was in a mixture of cheers and boos, although the boos seemed to be more prominent. But the way Mark looked as he smiled and waved to the crowd made it appear that he only heard the cheers.
He then closed his eyes for a bit and reflected on the events that caused this duel to happen...
--
Mark had come in the medical office to check on Shougo when he saw Hinata Toragami and her two friends in the room.
"Toragami's here?" Mark shouted indignantly. "And nobody told her that I came here to duel her?"
Toragami looked towards Katsuki. "This is the boy you lost to?"
Katsuki's eyes widened and then she frowned. "He got lucky."
"So what can I do for the top American duelist?" Toragami asked.
"Well, I came across the Pacific just to duel you, so the least you could do is give me an answer!" Mark said. "Will you duel me, yes or no?"
Toragami looked the duelist over. Her face showed some disdain. Finally she said, "I suppose it would be an interesting diversion. I'll duel you tomorrow afternoon."
Katsuki gasped. "Hina... Toragami-sama! You just got back from your family business, don't you think you should rest a bit?"
"Wait!" Mark said. "If you're going to duel me, I have a condition."
Katsuki facefaulted with anger. "Why you..."
"Tell me," Toragami said.
"Don't hold back on me! Give it your all! Otherwise, it's a waste of time for us both! I wouldn't want to win or lose knowing you were fooling around."
Toragami's other friend, Aino, who had been silent thus far, now spoke up. "Mr. Walker, be careful what you're asking," she said. "Remember who you're talking to."
"I know who I'm talking to! I want to defeat her at her best!"
Toragami paused for a bit, then nodded. "Very well," she said. "As long as you remember who you're dealing with, I won't have a problem with giving it my all..."
--
Mark's reverie was interrupted by the arrival of Hinata Toragami, an appearance that caused the audience to erupt in cheers of support. She looked at her opponent through steely eyes.
"She looks ready," Isabel said. "I wonder if we'll get a good match."
Naomi Aino walked in from the side. "If Toragami-sama said she wouldn't hold back, then I don't think there will be much of a match."
"Aino-san!" Chiba said. "Where's Katsuki-san?"
"She's down helping Toragami," Aino replied, pointing downward for Chiba and Isabel to see. Katsuki was in the arena, fitting Toragami with her Duel Disk.
"Katsuki usually helps Toragami-sama during duels," Aino went on. "I thought you should know... Mark asked for a real match from Toragami-sama. So this might not take long."
"Don't underestimate Mark-san because he's American," Isabel reminded her. "I've played him and he knows his stuff."
"I just wonder why Katsuki-san has to put on Toragami-san's Duel Disk for her," Chiba said. "There's just something haughty about that."
"That's not the reason," Aino said. "Look carefully at Toragami-sama. Do you notice anything odd about her?"
Chiba narrowed his eyes and watched as Katsuki attached the duel disk to Hinata's left arm. Toragami's free hand; something looked odd about it.
'Is she wearing a glove...' Chiba thought to himself. Then he gasped. 'Or could it be...'
"Artificial?" Chiba shouted. "Toragami-sama only has o..."
"Shut up!" Aino said, grabbing Chiba's mouth. "Some people in the company don't even know about this!"
"Sorry, sorry," Chiba said, keeping his voice down. "What happened to her?"
Aino sighed and looked away for a moment. "Toragami-sama wasn't always the stern, serious person you know," she said. "In fact, she used to be a very happy girl. At least, when I knew her. Until that day..."
She trailed off.
"If you don't want to talk about it, it's okay," Chiba said.
"Thank you, Chiba-kun," Aino said, nodding. "It's not an easy thing to remember."
From the faculty seat, Asuka Tenjouin watched the proceedings with some concern, recalling her meeting with Kiyotaki about the announcement of the duel prior.
--
"I understand your feelings, but Aoyama Shougo's not the only student in this school," Kiyotaki said. "Walker-san came here hoping to achieve his dream of challenging Toragami-san and I don't see any reason for us to get in the way of that."
"But isn't Walker-kun a friend of Aoyama-kun?" Tenjouin protested. "How can he think of his own glory when his friend needs him?"
"Think of how Walker-san feels," Kiyotaki replied. "'What would my friend want me to do in this situation?' I'm sure he believes that his friend would encourage him to strive on."
Tenjouin crossed her arms and looked down. "But... what if he wakes up? Don't you think he'd be upset if he found out people were moving on without him? I feel like he's that kind of person."
"You seem to have a strong connection with this boy. Have you thought about why that is?"
Tenjouin thought back to their duel, and how she had thought of her brother when Shougo played Red-Eyes. Perhaps Shougo reminded her of him?
Her eyes widened when she realized they were both also connected to Darkness. She then clutched her chest as memories she didn't want returned to her. She sighed deeply.
"I know what you're going through," Kiyotaki said. "You don't want those memories, do you? But part of growing up, Tenjouin-san, is accepting your past, and moving on. You shouldn't let those memories frame who you become."
Tenjouin frowned. "I don't believe that," she said. "Whether you like it or not, memories shape who you are and who you will be. I hope someday to show you that... Kiyotaki-kouchou. In the meantime... I'll watch this duel."
Kiyotaki smiled and closed his eyes as Tenjouin walked away. "Do what you must," he said.
'Who said anything about throwing your memories away?' he thought to himself. 'But Tenjouin Asuka, you must discover that truth for youself.'
--
The thoughts of those watching the upcoming match were interrupted by the announcer's booming voice coming over the loudspeaker. "EVERYONE! This is the moment you've all been waiting for! The ultimate overseas exhibition match! On one side, we have top American duelist and current Ra Yellow student at the Duel Academia... MARK WALKER!"
Again, a mixture of boos and cheers, and Mark saw Chiba and Isabel in the crowd and waved to them.
"And on the other side... you all get to see a rare treat! The legendary future of dueling, the undefeated Japanese champion, the Blitzkrieg Queen herself... TORAGAMI HIIINATAAA!"
Toragami furrowed her brow and closed her eyes as the crowd yelled madly to show their support. Katsuki blushed bashfully and backed away from the field.
"I know you got things to do," Mark said. "So let's get this show on the road! My first move... draw!"
He glanced at hand and grinned. 'That Toragami has a lot of confidence, it seems... but so do I!'
"I'll set a monster card on the field," he said. "Then I'll set one other card facedown, and that'll be all."
"That's it?!" Isabel shouted. "Come on, you have to do better than that against the Blitzkrieg Queen!"
"My turn," Toragami said in her emotionless tone. "Draw. I activate 'Solar Exchange', and discard a Lightlord Paladin Jean from my hand to draw two cards. Then I send the top two cards of my deck to the cemetery."
She pulled two cards, then hit a button on her Duel Disk, ejecting two cards from the top of her deck directly to the graveyard slot. They were Lightlord Monk Ehren and Lightlord Beast Wolf. The slot on the duel disk began to glow, and then a white-haired wolf monster appeared on the field.
"What the hell is that?" Isabel shouted indignantly.
"Since Lightlord Beast Wolf was sent from my deck to the cemetery, I will special summon him to the field in attack mode," Toragami explained. "Next I will summon Lightlord Summoner Luminous in attack mode."
A dark-skinned woman in light colored robes appeared next to the wolf. Her hands were glowing with pentagram symbols around them, causing an aura between her arms that looked almost like a staff.
"I will now activate Lightlord Summoner Luminous' effect," Toragami said. ""y discarding one card from my hand, I can summon a Lightlord monster from the cemetery. I'll place 'Command Silencer' from my hand to the cemetery and I'll summon Lightlord Monk Ehren in attack mode."
A pigtailed warrior woman dressed in white chest armor and boots appeared on the field, entering a battle stance.
"Three monsters in one turn?!" Isabel screamed. "That's insane!"
"That's Toragami's strategy," Chiba remarked. "They don't call her the 'Blitzkrieg Queen' for nothing."
"But this is unusually fast for her," Aino said. "Mark asked Toragami-sama not to hold back. This is what happens when people face her true self."
"True self?" Chiba wondered as he looked at the duelist. He could almost feel her strength emanating from her, like when she dueled Shougo, but there was something else...
"When Ehren attacks a defense position monster, it is returned to the deck," Toragami explained. "So... Ehren, relieve my opponent's hidden monster of its duties... attack with Light of Serenity."
Ehren leaped from her place on Toragami's field and prepared to launch a kick on Mark's facedown.
"It won't be that easy!" Mark shouted. "I reveal my facedown... the spell card known as Enemy Controller!"
A game controller appeared on the field and shot an electrical zap at Ehren, who dropped her kick short, shown struggling to resist the card's magic.
"I can force one of your monsters to switch its battle position," Mark said. "I of course choose Lightlord Monk Ehren!"
Ehren dropped back on Toragami's side of the field and held her arms out in front of her in a defensive stance, apparently against her will.
"Wow..." Isabel said. "I can't believe I was worried."
"Don't think it's over for a moment," Aino reminded her. "She still has two monsters and Mark has nothing to protect it."
"Lightlord Summoner Luminous, attack," Toragami went on. "Light of Illusion!"
Luminous held her arms as if they were a staff and pointed it at the facedown monster, shooting a blast.
"Hey hey," Mark said with some amount of indignance. "You said you weren't going to hold back, but you'd attack my facedown with such a weak monster?"
"Just reveal it," Toragami said.
Mark grumped as his Grizzly Mother was revealed. With 1000 defense points, it matched Luminous' 1000 attack points.
"I'll set three cards and end my turn," Toragami said. "And due to the effects of Ehren and Luminous, I send the top 6 cards of my deck to the cemetery." She pulled the cards and placed them in her cemetery slot. Among them were many good cards - Lightning Vortex and Mirror Force, for example - but no more Beast Wolves.
"Those were good cards," Isabel noted. "How is it Toragami-san can win with such a self-destructive strategy?"
"You'll see," Aino said and looked to Chiba, who nodded knowingly. He'd seen the strategy behind the self-milling himself, and it was something to be feared when Toragami eventually got her ace monster out.
"But why didn't she have Beast Wolf attack Mark's Grizzly?" Isabel said.
"Isabel-san, you should know better than anyone," Chiba said. "Grizzly Mother's effect lets Mark-san summon a water monster from his deck. She won't really solve anything by attacking and letting her opponent summon something more troublesome."
"It's my turn now," Mark said, and pulled a card out of his deck. "Toragami-san, forgive me." he chuckled while trying to sound polite in Japanese, largely failing. "I normally believe that someone should be able to beat anyone with their own deck, but I prepared a new deck just to fight you."
"Is that so?" Toragami said.
"I'll show you the power of America," Mark shouted, which caused much of the audience to groan. "Abyss Soldier, let's go!"
A bizarre humanoid-whale hybrid holding a trident appeared on the field.
"Now I'll activate Abyss Soldier's effect, and discard Killer Snake from my hand to the cemetery," Mark said. "And I can pick one card on the field and return it to its owner's hand. I believe I'll pick that troublesome wolf of yours!"
The Abyss Soldier shot a blast from its trident at Toragami's wolf, causing it to howl as its hologram to vanish from the field. The card moved from Toragami's duel disk to back in her hand.
Mark snapped his fingers. "How do you like that?" he shouted in English. "There's more, too! Grizzly Mother, switch to attack mode! And now I'll have Abyss Soldier attack your Luminous."
The whale monster threw an image of its trident at Toragami's summoner. But Toragami appeared unconcerned.
"Reverse card open," she said. "Continuous trap, Lightlord Barrier. I send the top two cards of my deck to the cemetery, and your attack is negated."
A field of light appeared deflecting Abyss Soldier's attack. Again, her duel disk ejected two cards automatically, and again, the graveyard slot glowed. But this time, it was a magic card that appeared on the field, depicting the image of a sword and staff.
"Equip magic Lightlord Rapier," Toragami said. "When it's sent from the deck to the cemetery by a Lightlord card effect, I can equip it to a Lightlord monster on the field. I choose Lightlord Summoner Luminous as its recipient."
Luminous grabbed the sword in one hand and the staff in the other, and twirled them as her attack rose to 1700.
"I'm not done yet," Mark said, not seeming to be aware that Lightlord Barrier was a continuous trap. "Grizzly Mother, attack Lightlord Monk Ehren!"
"I activate Lightlord Barrier's effect and send 2 more cards from my deck to the cemetery," Toragami droned. "And your attack is negated." The bear uselessly clawed the force field.
"What could he be thinking?" Isabel said. "He's been preparing for this match forever. He should know what her cards do."
"Maybe that losing dog is overconfident," Katsuki said, walking in to join the three.
"Shiho-chan, where have you been?" Aino asked, somewhat annoyed. "You were supposed to come up here after helping Toragami-sama!"
"I got caught up in this and that," Katsuki replied, closing her eyes and grinning. "Besides, it's not like Toragami-sama needs my support. She'll beat this idiot easily."
"Maybe it's something else," Chiba said. "By my count, Toragami's got 20 cards in the grave by now. If she has the standard size deck, that's half of her deck."
"So what? It's not like he's the first guy to try to deck her out before," Katsuki huffed.
'I don't think that's his strategy,' Chiba thought to himself. 'Someone like Mark-san... he could only be...'
"I'll set one card facedown and end my turn," Mark said. "Toragami-san! My strategy for victory is halfway complete! Everyone watch what a champion can do!"
"So he *is* trying to deck her out!" Katsuki said.
"Mark-san?" Chiba murmured disappointedly.
Toragami ignored his bluster. "My turn. Draw. I will switch Lightlord Summoner Luminous to defense position."
"Defense? Why?" Isabel wondered.
"This is it," Aino said. "Mark should have known better."
The crowd was murmuring, some of them knowing what was coming next.
"With Paladin Jean, Warrior Garoth, Angel Cherubim and Priest Jenice in the cemetery, I can borrow their power," Toragami said. "By the dying sparks of their sacrifice, I call on you. Open the sky and reveal yourself!"
The scenery seemed to rumble as a crack opened in the ground, and a beam of light took the form of a feathered dragon, immense and powerful. It growled quietly as its shape solidified.
"Come out! Judgment Dragoon!" Toragami shouted.
"That's... the ace card of the Lightlords," Isabel gasped. "This is the first time I've seen it!"
"That whelp," Katsuki muttered. "He shouldn't have asked Toragami-sama not to hold back. Otherwise, this might actually be a bit interesting."
"It's not that simple," Chiba said. "Why would she put her other monsters in defense mode? If she was going to use the effect, she wouldn't bother. And if she weren't, she would have left them in attack mode and finished this now."
Isabel snapped her fingers. "Unless..."
"Thank you for summoning your ace so early!" Mark shouted. "That's just what I wanted! Reverse card open... 'The Blessings of Birth'! When a monster is Special Summoned, I can activate this card, and your turn immediately ends!"
Toragami's eyes narrowed.
"And of course, since it's now your End Phase, you have to lose ten cards," Mark said. "Four for Judgment Dragoon, and three each for your other Lightlords. Let's see if there are any more wolves waiting in the wings?"
Ten cards slid into the cemetery slot, and another Beast Wolf appeared on the field. Toragami's deck now had only nine cards left.
"Now let's see if my preparation paid off," Mark said, drawing a card. "First, I activate Killer Snake's effect. Because it's in the graveyard, I can place it right back in my hand. And now I'll activate Abyss Soldier's effect!"
"Very good," Chiba mused. "Now he can use its effect with Abyss Soldier again, and return that Lightlord Barrier back to Toragami-san's hand."
"Hmph!" Katsuki snorted. "What a boring strategy. To be expected from an American deadweight."
"I bet you think I'm gonna discard Killer Snake, but nope," Mark said. "I'm discarding this card from my hand - Rainbow Snake Eingana!"
Everyone in the audience gasped.
"'Rainbow Snake Eingana'?" Aino said. "I've never heard of that card."
"I've heard about it," Chiba said. "It was an extremely limited production... there were rumors about the game, in its early life, that several sets of cards were made for a virtual game that never got off the ground. 'Eingana'... I think that was one of the cards."
"I guess it's part of Mark's strategy," Isabel said. "But why would he discard it?"
"Time for a gamble," Mark went on. "I activate from my hand... the spell card 'Life Slashing Treasure'! I'll draw until I have five cards in my hand. And if I haven't got this won in five turns, I have to dump whatever's in my hand to the grave! So I gotta make this count!"
He put his hand to his deck. "I have two cards in my hand. So I get three more. Let's go!"
He pulled his three cards, looked at them and smiled widely. "Luck favors the prepared! I activate... the field spell 'Legendary City Atlantis'!"
"Legendary... wow," Isabel noted. "He's using the real card names now. I guess this means he's serious about it."
The arena became an aquatic castle with fish and mermen swimming around in the distance. "When the field is 'Legendary City Atlantis', water monsters in the hand and on the field are downgraded one level," Mark explained. "Which means I can summon level 7 monsters with just one sacrifice. Monsters like... Levia-Dragon Daedalus! I sacrifice my Abyss Soldier to summon you out!"
Abyss Soldier shimmered away and the ground where it once stood open to reveal a massive blue and purple sea serpent that coiled around the towers of the field. It roared at Toragami's Judgment Dragoon threateningly.
"So he's thinking of clearing the field with that stupid thing," Katsuki said. "But he's in for a surprise if he thinks it'll be that easy."
"But if he succeeds, he'll probably win," Chiba said.
"What do you mean?" asked Aino.
"Think about it. Why would Mark-san discard Rainbow Snake Eingana and not Killer Snake? The answer is... he has a means to revive Eingana from the cemetery!"
"So if he does clear the field, he'll get Eingana out to join his Levia-Dragon, and attack for game!" Isabel said. "What a perfect plan."
Aino and Katsuki glanced at each other and sighed.
In the meantime, Asuka Tenjouin watched from the faculty balcony along with her co-workers. 'That American student is doing very well for himself,' she thought. 'But then, what's this uneasy feeling?'
"Now, without further ado, I'l activate Levia-Dragon's special ability," Mark said. "By sending my field spell to the graveyard, I can destroy all cards on the field other than Levia-Dragon! Go, Levia Destruction!"
The field shimmered away as its remaining holograms turned into a shining ball centered on the sea serpent's mouth. Levia-Dragon shot its blast out onto the center of the field, which caused the arena to flood with holographic water.
But Toragami was unfazed. "It's useless," she said. "Reverse card open... 'Hierophant's Wand'."
Tenjouin saw the card and gasped involuntarily. She remembered that card.
"By the effect of this card, no cards on my side of the field can be destroyed with card effects," Toragami said. "In exchange, you can draw one card."
"It's all good," Mark said as he drew his card. "I expected you'd have a trick like this, anyway."
The crowd gasped at Mark's bold statement. He'd expected this?
"I'll let you worry about that," Mark said. "For now, I'm playing another card from my hand... the spell card 'Living Frog'. By discarding a water monster from my hand, I'll revive a water monster from my graveyard."
Isabel snapped her fingers. "ĦEso!" she shouted. "That's why he sent Eingana to the cemetery."
"And he saved Killer Snake so he could discard it for that card," Chiba said. "That's a good move. Shougo-kun would have enjoyed watching this duel..."
Isabel frowned and just looked on quietly.
"You didn't have that card in your hand earlier, did you?" Toragami said. "You relied on luck by using your 'Life-Slashing Treasure' card. Is that really a safe strategy?"
"Well, luck's a big part of the game," Mark said with a shrug. "I mean, I've read up on your duels, and a lot of your victories were based on good draws as well."
"You...! You idiot!" Katsuki shouted in a pointless attempt to get Mark to hear her. "Say that again, you loser dog!"
Toragami gave the slightest of smiles. "Are you sure about that?" she asked.
Mark was rattled by her apparent show of emotion. "I-in any case... I'll summon Rainbow Snake Eingana from my graveyard to the field!"
A flash beside the Levia-Dragon opened a portal beneath the ground, out of which shot out a giant snake with rainbow-colored skin. It hissed and glared and coiled itself. Its attack points were 2200, not a match at all for Judgment Dragoon.
Mark clenched his fist, though, appearing confident. "I can't destroy your monsters with my effects, but I can still attack! Levia-Dragon, attack Lightlord Beast Wolf now! Levia Stream!"
His sea serpent shot a blue and purple light blast at Toragami's monster, but the attack was deflected harmlessly off of it.
"Your turn is for nothing," Toragami said. "I activate my other face-down card, 'Emissaries of Harmony', preventing my monsters from being destroyed in battle this turn."
Mark took a step back and grunted a bit. "Don't think it's over, though," he said. "I set one card face-down and end my turn."
"Then I'll draw," Toragami said, reaching for her deck.
"Before you do, I'd like to tell you one thing," Mark said. "In the interests of full disclosure, I thought you should know about Rainbow Snake Eingana's special effect. It is a rather rare card and perhaps you've never seen it before."
"Go on," Toragami replied.
"You see, if Eingana is destroyed, whether it be in battle or through a card effect, all of your monsters are automatically destroyed as well," Mark said, and smiled widely. "So you see, if you use your Judgment Dragoon's effect to destroy my field, you'll lose all your monsters as well. And if you ignore my facedown and attack, the result will be the same!"
The crowd gasped as Mark's strategy became apparent.
"So what?" Katsuki asked. "Toragami-sama should just destroy Levia-Dragon and leave it at that."
"It's not that simple," Aino reminded her. "Toragami-sama has her Dragoon and two Lightlords on the field. If she just attacks Levia-Dragon, then on the end of her turn she will have to discard the remainder of her deck. No matter what Mark does, she'd lose."
"Lose?!" Katsuki shouted. "Toragami-sama, lose?"
"It's not a bad strategy," Chiba said. "If you're fighting against someone renowned for counterattacking every tactic, you might as well let her and run the clock down. But I don't think that's Mark's goal, either."
Isabel nodded. "He plans to end it in his next turn," she remarked.
But Aino shook her head. "It's not over by a long shot. Toragami-sama has been in worse situations than this."
Toragami eyed her opponent.
"You place your belief in your deck, don't you?" she said. "I suppose you think that makes you a true duelist."
"Of course," Mark said. "What kind of duelist would I be if I didn't?"
"I'm going to teach you something about belief," Toragami replied. "Trusting in your cards and the strategy you've created to come through for you... that isn't enough. Your belief will fail you."
Mark chuckled and ran his fingers through his hair. "Are you trying to get in my head?" he said. "I wouldn't think someone who was called the 'Blitzkrieg Queen' would resort to mind games."
"This is not a mind game," Toragami said coolly. "It's a simple fact. What you believe in is not enough. That's all."
She looked at the card she drew and placed it in her hand.
"My next move," she stated finally, "will prove it to you."

TODAY'S FEATURED CARD: The Effect Monster, "Rainbow Snake Eingana"
When this card on the field is destroyed, all monsters your opponent controls are destroyed as well.
--
Mark: "How do you like that? It's my strategy to defeat you!"
Katsuki: "You can't possibly think that that's enough!"
Aino: "Mark struggles on to defeat his foe, but Toragami-sama simply repeats what she said. His belief is not enough? What could it mean?"
Mark: "I don't care about any of that! I'm not gonna lose!"
Aino: "Meanwhile, Tenjouin-sensei sees a sight that frightens her to her core. Could it be? Mark's trump card is actually..."
Katsuki: "Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! Negative Zero: 'The Paradox of Fate! Judgment Dragoon VS Blue Ice White Nights Dragon'."
Mark: "Action! Surprises! And a whole lotta me!"
