Part 2: 01x18 - Take a Chance

[bunniefuu]

I'm late again!

Why didn't you wake me up, Astral!

For one hour, I said, "Yuma, wake up."

Well, you should've said it louder!

(Bronk) Make way, coming through!

(Yuma) Bronk!

See ya!

Wait, let me hop on!

(Bronk) Uh-oh.

Look out!

I meant to do that...

Bronk, are you okay?

(Rio) Now that was a wipeout.

(Bronk) Rio?

How are ya?

Fine, but looks like you got a little banged up.

There, how's that?

Yeah, feels good as new.

Thanks a bunch!

She's amazing...

(Tori) ...But the group project isn't due until next week.

Right, Bronk?

Bronk?

Earth to Bronk...

Come in.

They're giving away donuts in the cafeteria, Bronk.

All you can eat, first come, first serve.

Nothing!

Rio!

Boy, Bronk has got it, real bad.

If you really like Rio so much, you should just take a chance.

Ask her out.

You think so?

But what if she doesn't like me?

My philosophy is, if you don't ask, then they can't say no.

That's a really good point!

I also feel like it should be pointed out

that Shark is her brother.

Oh, that's a good point, too!

That doesn't matter.

All that matters is whether or not Rio likes Bronk,

and he won't never know unless he asks her out!

That's a good point!

But if you say or do the wrong thing,

Shark'll make your life miserable.

Good point.

(Flip) I got it!

You're just gonna have to win Shark's respect, Bronk.

(Caswell) And how is he supposed to do that?

(Bronk) Yeah, how?

Well what if... you b*at him in a duel? That's it!

I'll duel him!

If I can manage to defeat Shark in a duel,

then, maybe he'll respect me.

And then...

And then...

On this day, you have earned my sister's hand.

Thanks!

All right!

I'm gonna challenge Shark to a duel!

Bronk, wait a sec.

He's a goner. Totally.

A duel?

You mean, like, you and me?

Yeah, that's right.

And if I win the duel, then uh...

Well, uh, your sister, is, uh...

(Shark) Face facts.

You're wasting your time, Bronk.

Well, but--

The only guy around here who even comes close

to being good enough is Yuma.

So then you're saying...

You'd only consider Yuma?

Consider him for what? For Rio, I guess.

So then... it's Yuma.

I guess, uh...

Good talking to you, Shark.

The world needs to know about this!

And that's when Shark said to Bronk that only Yuma

could be Rio's boyfriend!

Are you sure about all this?

If I wasn't sure about it, Ray, I wouldn't have posted

the entire story on the front page of my blog

"Flip's Daily Quips" so that everyone could know about it!

We were there the whole time, we heard it all!

Well, uh, good for them!

It's not fair.

What's up, Bronk?

What did you wanna talk about?

Yuma, I'm really frustrated!

Why's that?

I'm frustrated because it can't be me,

and that makes me super bummed.

And super bummed is not fun.

But Yuma...

I know that you and me are best buds, am I right?

Yeah, Bronk, of course.

That's why I'm gonna try to be okay with this!

But make Rio cry, and we're gonna have words!

Wait, what are you talking about?

Shark said the only guy good enough for Rio is you, Yuma.

You.

(Rio) So that's why everyone thinks we're dating?

(Bronk) Rio...

I shoulda known that Reginald was at the center of all this.

What's going' on?

Why are we here, Rio?

I challenge you to a duel.

You too?

Lotta that goin' around today.

I'm serious, Reginald.

Do you think this is funny?

I don't even know what "this" is.

You're my big brother, but you do not get

to make my decisions for me!

Rio, I, uh... This is between me and Reginald.

I got things to do.

(Rio) Too scared?

I know how you can get scared sometimes.

It's like your strange fear of onions.

Maybe I'll have Flip blog about it!

No, you won't!

I'm serious, Rio.

Not cool! Hmph!

Well, if you don't want the whole school

knowing about that, then you've gotta duel me.

A battle between brother and sister.

We should wear ear plugs.

I'm locked and loaded!

(both) Duel Gazer set!

(both) Bring it on!

(Shark) You've never beaten me in a duel.

That's not gonna change.

Not today, hah!

I summon Big Jaws!

And it lets me summon Shark Stickers from my hand!

I overlay my Level Big Jaws and Shark Stickers!

With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network.

I Xyz Summon Submersible Carrier Aero Shark!

(Yuma) Did you guys see that?

He was able to Xyz Summon on his first turn like it was nothing!

And now to really get things going, by using an overlay unit,

for every card in my hand, I can hit you with

points of damage!

Not wasting any time, is he?

She has no way to block this, does she?

This is what happens when you bring up the onions.

Go Torpedo Take Down!

Incoming!

Guess it's a good thing I've got Guard Penguin to protect me!

It reduces the damage I would have taken to zero!

And when it's done, it can stick around.

I'd say that was a purr-fect move!

It sure was!

You're the best, Rio!

Hmph!

Any wannabe could have pulled off a counter like that.

Well, it takes one to know one, Reginald!

Let's see if you're still saying that after I play Aqua Gate!

This spell negates your att*ck once for

every facedown spell or trap on my field.

And since I'm ending my turn with two facedown cards,

that means I can stop two att*cks.

Your move, what are you gonna do?

Hmph, you're about to find out.

Watch this onion boy!

My turn!

First I summon Blizzard Falcon!

And now I overlay Guard Penguin and Blizzard Falcon!

I Xyz Summon Ice Beast Zerofyne!

Rio!

If you att*ck, that Aqua Gate's gonna stop it!

Good thing I've got the perfect way

to deal with that Bronk!

I activate Zerofyne's special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit, all other faceup cards have their

effects put on ice until the beginning of my next turn.

Perfect Freeze!

She froze the whole field?

Shark cannot defend with Aqua Gate now.

Cool move.

The best part is that for every card that Zerofyne just froze,

one of your monsters loses att*ck points!

Two cards had their effects frozen:

Aero Shark and Aqua Gate.

Which means Aero Shark is suddenly down

att*ck points.

That's how it's done!

You go, Rio!

(Rio) Wait a second, this is too easy...

Shark had to have known I'd summon Zerofyne...

Is Aqua Gate a decoy?

Of course!

I gotta switch gears and focus on those two facedowns.

In that case...

I equip Wings of Silence onto Ice Beast Zerofyne!

If you were thinking of stopping Zerofyne with one of your

facedown cards, I've got some bad news for you...

Not only will Wings of Silence raise Zerofyne's att*ck points

by three-hundred, but it'll also protect it

from your spell and trap cards.

A smart precaution.

However, shark does not seem fazed.

Do it, Zerofyne!

att*ck Aero Shark!

Icicle Storm!

Oh, yeah!

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Too bad I didn't walk right into your little trap.

It really is too bad.

Too bad you're dueling just like I knew you would!

'Cause now I'm activating the trap Ghost Salvage.

This trap brings back my Water Attribute Xyz Monster.

And when it returns, it can bring along two monsters that

were used to Summon it by negating

their special abilities.

So here come Big Jaws, Shark Stickers and Aero Shark!

Shark's got a lot of monsters out there.

Yeah, but their bite's not so bad without their abilities...

I activate the trap Full Armored Xyz, which gives me the power

to Xyz Summon no matter whose turn it is!

Seriously?

I overlay my Level Shark Stickers and Big Jaws

in order to build the Overlay Network!

I Xyz Summon Black Ray Lancer!

And now, thanks to Full Armored Xyz, I can equip Aero Shark

onto Black Ray Lancer and combine their att*ck points.

That's a whole lotta power!

Looks like you did walk right into my trap.

There was never any way you were going to b*at me, sis.

There was never any way you were going to b*at me, sis.

I place one card facedown...

...and end my turn.

Heh, I knew you couldn't do nothin'!

I activate the spell Break Stream!

When Black Ray Lancer att*cks,

you can't activate a spell or trap!

Meanwhile, due to Zerofyne, Aqua Gate's

effect cannot be used.

Conceivably, there is nothing she can do

to stop Black Ray Lancer.

(Bronk) C'mon, Rio, you can do it.

(Shark) Black Ray Lancer!

att*ck Zerofyne with Shimmering Spear Slash!

And next, I activate Break Stream's other effect!

When Black Ray Lancer destroys a monster,

Break Stream gets rid of one of your spell or trap cards!

You've never had what it takes to be a real duelist.

I remember when you first started dueling,

you needed me to build your deck for you...

You didn't know what to do then,

and you don't know what to do now.

That's not true.

You're wrong.

I've changed, Reginald.

You may have built my deck when we were kids,

but I'm all grown up!

I don't need your help anymore!

I do things my way!

I'm activating my trap card Ice Fire Egg!

Huh?

How can she play a trap that Break Stream destroyed?

This particular trap card activates when it's destroyed!

And it allows me to summon one Water Xyz Monster from

my graveyard by stripping it of all

its att*ck and defense points.

I'm bringing back Zerofyne!

And Ice Fire Egg changes Zerofyne to Level !

Awesome! But uh...

It doesn't have any att*ck points.

Even if it did, Rio wouldn't know what to do with them!

You're up.

(Rio) If I don't draw the card I'm hoping for... or...

if Reginald already knows what I'm planning...

(Shark) I bet I know what you're thinking right now.

You're worried that I'm three steps ahead of you, that this

facedown card will activate as soon as you make your move.

That's what you're thinking, right, sis?

Of course, 'cause you doubt yourself.

Rio...

(Shark) Self-doubting wannabes don't win duels.

And that's why you always lose to me.

Because you don't trust your instincts.

You're not gonna win.

You're just gonna keep second guessing yourself

into corners and you know it.

(Bronk) Don't listen to him!

Rio, I know you can do this!

You just gotta trust yourself and, like,

don't get all caught up thinking about what might happen...

Just take a chance in today!

That's right.

You gotta high--

(Bronk) You gotta high five the sky!

Come on, Rio, it's all you!

Bronk's right, I've gotta take a chance.

Get ready 'cause your little sister is about to win big!

All right, I draw!

Got it!

I activate the field spell Land of Frozen Flames!

If I use a Water monster to Xyz Summon,

it counts as two monsters.

And Zerofyne is a Water monster!

So she's got two Level monsters!

I think you know where this is going...

I overlay both of my Ice Beast Zerofynes!

With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!

I Xyz summon Ice Princess Zereort!

I activate Ice Princess' special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit, Ice Princess takes away

your monster's att*ck points!

Subzero Subtraction!

That's one way to shut down a powerful monster.

Yeah!

Ice Princess att*ck Black Ray Lancer!

By activating Full Armored Xyz's effect, I send Aero Shark to

the graveyard and my Black Lancer isn't destroyed!

(Rio) Nice save.

But you still take damage!

Rio's almost got him down for the count!

And with that, I'm ending my turn.

I gotta admit, you really surprised me just now, sis.

Maybe I was wrong...

Maybe you are one amazing duelist.

Do you--

Do you mean that?

Get real, Rio! "An amazing duelist?"

I don't think so!

It's my turn, here goes!

First I summon Drill Barnacle!

Next up, I'm equipping Xyz Crown onto Black Ray Lancer!

This spell changes my Xyz Monster's Rank into a Level,

and makes it count as two monsters!

And thanks to your field spell Land Of Frozen Flames,

Drill Barnacle also counts as two!

I'm pretty sure I don't like where this is goin'.

I overlay both Drill Barnacles and both Black Ray Lancers!

With these four monsters, I build the Overlay Network!

I Xyz Summon the king of the deep, Shark Caesar!

I Xyz Summon the king of the deep, Shark Caesar!

Shark used Rio's field spell to his advantage.

Quite impressive, truly.

Go, Shark Caesar, att*ck!

Wait, what?

But it's not as powerful as Ice Princess!

(Shark) By using one Overlay Unit, Shark Caesar

gains , att*ck points!

You gotta be kidding!

This duel only had one possible outcome, Rio.

And that's me winning and you losing!

Go Emperor's Might!

Rio...

You win again.

But next time, you won't be so lucky onion boy.

Look, you are getting better, so at least there's that.

Hmph!

But still, if you think I'm gonna become Yuma's girlfriend

just because you say I should, you're crazy.

Did you say "become Yuma's girlfriend?

Why would I think that?

Hold on.

All I said to Bronk, is that Yuma's the only duelist

around who can kinda keep up with me.

So then...

Uhhh...

It was our misunderstanding?

Well, this is embarrassing.

Rio...

That was an awesome duel.

You and I should duel sometime!

You and me?

Yeah!

We could help each other get better, and maybe... maybe...

Maybe if you win, then uh...

(Rio) Then what?

Maybe I'll buy you an ice cream.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

(Bronk) Cool.

(Rio) Now, um, there's something I need to go deal with.

Guys?

About that little rumor you started...
