Getting a duel disk wasn't very simple since they just came out and no-one wanted to lose theirs, but I channelled my inner Miquella and lied saying she needed one since the last person she won against lashed out at her breaking her duel disk in an accident, I also added some sorrow to the story by saying the dude ran away to not pay for it with their own. the looks of sympathy she got were totally different.
once she was fully equipped, she placed within her borrowed Duel disk a deck she had on hand because this is a Yu-gi-oh world so of course.
Launching the illusion processing machines launch away from us I wait for her to get ready, seconds later her own machines get launched and I we both say.
"Let's Duel."
Drawing my hand, I watch as she goes first since I'm the one who instigated the duel and didn't want to go first anyway.
"I Draw, let's see, I'll start with placing this card onto the field then playing a card from my hand, I play Card destruction from my hand making us discard are hands and Drawing replacements."
[Card Destruction][spell]
I discard my hand without remorse since unknown to her I bricked with having Just Malenia and no way to summon her with the cards there. drawing more cards I find better cards.
"Next I activate place down two cards before activating from my hand a card of demise, to allow me to draw back to five."
[Card of Demise][spell]
ok her card advantage is getting out of hand.
"Next from my hand I Summon a monster face down before playing two dragged down into the grave cards, we look at each other's hands and discard 2, the we draw 2."
[Dragged down into the grave][spell]
Being a gentleman, I walk over to her and present my hand to her.
[Blood Cocoon Plot][Plot of a Severed Heart][Adherent Needle Knight Leda][Flask of Crimson tears][Adherent Malignant Thiollier]
I look at her hand of two cards.
[Muko][Kelbek]
Her cards don't surprise me but the cards she chooses do, she chooses Needle knight Leda and Thiollier, placing the two cards into the graveyard I walk away and draw two more cards.
returning to my spot I hear her say "I'll play a spell card on my field; I'll play Painful choice."
I look at her with annoyance before walking back to her to I can choose between the 5 cards.
2[Walls of revealing light][Agido][Delinquent Duo][Cestus of Dalga]
Looking at her cards I see only one that wouldn't give her a real advantage if anything it would hinder her and go towards picking the Cestus of Dalga but, then I realise something I remember about her deck, doesn't she have Exchange of the spirit in her deck.
Its also the anime version, where it doesn't require me to have 15 cards in my graveyard as well.
She's trying to fill her graveyard to stack it so when the deck and graveyard swap, I have no options. she got rid of my monsters thinking without monsters I wouldn't be able to kill her quick enough for the swap.
Having a bad feeling I pick the only non-spell card Agido, the choice causes her eyes to widen in confusion, and with that I come to a realization, she's using the necklace to read the future.
"your cheating it seems but its fine, I'll break through your cheating and win this duel."
my words cause her eyes to lock onto mine and she scowls greatly.
I return to my spot and watch her.
"I'll end my turn."
my turn, I draw a card and look at my hand.
"Just for reference You got rid of the wrong card when you got rid of some of my cards."
my words make her Look at me in confusion.
"First of all, I'll reveal Blood Cocoon plot in my hand to get both Miquella, the Kind and Mogh Lord of Blood into my hand from the deck and graveyard in Mohg's case, once Miquella is in my hand I'll summon him in attack position."
[Blood Cocoon Plot][Spell/Ritual]
[Miquella, the kind ★★★ Light][Spellcaster/Effect][ATK:100/DEF:0]
"When Miquella is summoned, he's allowed to search for a field card and he'll get me the Scadutree's veil."
I get the card and play it immediately, when it's played the unnatural form of a great black tree grows behind me, from where the branches are meant to be sheets of dark mist like shadow drape far and wise like a circus tent using the tree as the main supporting column.
[The Scadutree's Veil][Spell/Field]
"When I play this field card, I'm allowed to search my deck again and this time look for a Plot card to add to my hand which I'll add and play this immediately."
[Miquella's Ascension Plot][Spell/Continuous]
When this card is played, we both watch as Miquella Smile before making a blade of light which he holds in his hand.
"Now you might be asking why did I play a card that seems to buff Miquella but there's not visible ATK increase of something. I'll explain but first I activate the effect of the Scadutree veil, which allows me to search my deck for an Adherent Monster and Summon them. The Adherent I'll summon Is Adherent Sir Ansbach."
A puddle of Blood manifests upon the field and walking out of the puddle like there was a hidden staircase is a man wearing a silver helmet adorned in Black robes wielding a Scythe that could make the Reaper of the Cards Blush.
[Adherent Sir Ansbach ★★★★ Dark][Warrior/Effect][ATK:1800/Def:1000]
Sir Ansbach looks around and seems curious about the surrounding's, but his musings are brought to an abrupt end as he spots Miquella, who isn't happy to see him.
Sir Ansbach addresses Miquella with a light bow and speaks clearly that both me and Ishizu can hear him.
"This is just enough payment for the desecration of my Lord Mogh, So don't worry I no longer hold as much animosity as before.'
His words cause Miquella to let go of the breath he was holding.
"Although the thought of running you through for my lord would give me great pleasure, alas at least in this form I may serve my lord once more"
I just smile at the line and say, "your correct Ansbach Since that moment is now, From my hand I play Blood cocoon Plot to Send three cards from my graveyard To Ritual Summon Mogh Lord of Blood onto the field."
Between me and Ishizu a literal lake of Blood manifests on the ground between us, the Blood Bubble and boils around us Slowly like he arriving for a Grand procession the Blood Lord strides out of the Blood Lake, as the forms staggering size becomes presented to everyone, the blood lake slowly shrinks in size centring on the forms of Mogh and Sir Ansbach forming pools of blood beneath the pair.
The hulking form actually appears facing me but more importantly Miquella. he gives Miquella A very direct stare with his one eye before closing it in acceptance before Turning around in a flourish of His GIANTIC Trident and flowing robes, he also spreads out his wings to make his presence even larger than life that it already is before spreading his arms out as if in a welcoming pose and saying.
"Welcome Honoured Guest, to your Deathbed, may your Crimson Blood become the Foundation of my New Dynasty."
[Mogh, Lord of Blood ★★★★★★★★★★ Dark][Fiend/Ritual/Effect][ATK:2000/DEF:3000]
"When Mogh, Lord of Blood is Summoned I would be allowed to pay up to 2000 Lp to increase his attack, but I have reasons why I won't do so."
At the end of my words I see as Sir Ansbach goes from his position of the field and Kneels before the Lord of Blood.
"Welcome back my lord, It is grand to see you among the living once more." Mogh looks down at his knight and his face takes on a malicious Grin.
"I am happy as well my faithful knight, even while under the influence I could see your struggle to save me, and I commend that your loyalty is without peer."
Both me and Ishizu just watch as a knight and his lord reunite after both their deaths then I look at the field and then I play another controversial card from my hand.
"I play Plot of a Severed heart from my hand, I can use this card with Miquella on the field to special Summon his other Half, ST. Trina. for the cost of half my life points."
[Plot of a severed heart][Spell]
Miquella on the field gains a smile filled with remembrance and melancholy, before he Spins and place and appearing from behind him like a shadow is a purple twin of the Demi-god with a face in reverse of mirroring Miquella's Smile with a look of indifference like a pair of pantomime masks for the pair of beings.
Trina takes some tentative steps away from Miquella and takes up her own space before a plant-like structure grows from the ground in which she lays upon to rest, she glances towards Miquella and a whisper is heard.
'Godhood is a shackle, Miquella, I know you don't wish to be bound like her.'
[ST. Trina ★★★ Dark][Plant/Effect][ATK:0/DEF:2000]
hearing her words I close my eyes in thought but I need to continue to I do.
"When ST. Trina is Summoned, I flip a coin, and one of two things can happen."
From my pocket I take out a Small golden Coin that appears to have the face of Godfrey on one side and the Elden Ring on the other to signify heads and tales respectfully.
Everyone watches as the coin is sent flying into the air, the coin lands upon the ground and bounces multiple times before landing with the Elden Ring visible.
"It seems Fate is on my side today since this is the effect I wanted, now, while ST. Trina is on the field you can't flip or activate face down cards, that includes your spells and traps face down on the field."
This causes Ishizu to start to sweat since I remember even the broken anime version of Exchange of the spirit was still a trap card, so she needs to get rid of ST. Trina.
