[ A series of vignettes in which Onni reacts about as well as anyone would to finding out their niece nearly died three weeks ago, is claiming to ascend to the status of a mad god, and every fear they had about her burgeoning powers they specifically warned her parents about has come true, all at once.

This is fine. ]

[becomeanwarrior]

I remember it coming up once or twice, yes. Why.

[ Also whispering. ]

[theheadmonarch]

okay so like the queen there at the time was my friend and we got curious to see if her country would remain like egalitarian as it was if i made her drink a potion to turn her into a fool, offer herself into slavery and have the legislature uh, unburden women.

and... then a pair of heroes who had beef with me for another incident chased me, ash and zoey off and i wasn't able to get back there for an age. by which point the title of fire witch was a curse among the women there

::Making very small discrete hand gestures and oh you can tell she's underselling this badly.::

[becomeanwarrior]

[ . . . ]

You turned your friend into an airheaded slut and convinced the legislature women didn't need to read or vote. And then your scheme spiraled out of control.

[ Deadpan. ]

[theheadmonarch]

RUDE!

[blackrthanblack]

NORIKO, WHAT DID YOU--!

::Your best friend and your cousin are then blasted by sonic waves smashing them into a wall, knocking them out.::

[arknpcs6]

No scheming, Fire Witch!

With Heward's Portable Symphony and the cards provided to me by the Witch-Saint of the Rebellion, I'll end your nightmare here and now!

::Dramatically poses.::

[becomeanwarrior]

[ ... ]

[ Whispering. ] Noriko. I think our all-powerful eighth-grader made some bad friends—

[ Coughs. He will champion being right again another time. ]

Sorry, but I'm the only one who gets to get on my cousin's case for her terrible decision-making.

So she'll have to take a rain check. She's awfully busy.

[ Stepping in front of Noriko. ]

Haita Onni. As her cousin, beleaguered advisor, and the Champion of the 'Fire Witch', I accept your challenge on her behalf.

[ Pulls a deck out of his jacket pocket. ]

[arknpcs6]

Fine by me! It's not like men are good at Dueling anyways!

::Slams her Deck into a part of the Symphony.::

DUEL!

[becomeanwarrior]

You know, I did need an outlet for all this misplaced aggression—

[ A beige armor plate appears, snapping onto his wrist as a Duel Disk extends from it. ]

DUEL!

[arknpcs6]

I Normal Summon "Raidraptor - Vanishing Lanius"! (1300 ATK)

::A mechanical bird appears, in front of her.::

I activate its effect to summon a second copy from my hand! Which then summons the third copy!

::A trio of mechanical birds appear before her, screeing.::

[becomeanwarrior]

Raidraptors...!? [ Augh, something about them sets me on edge and I have no idea why. But more than that— ]

All three Vanishing Lanius on the first turn...!? Going for a big play this soon, huh...

[ What's the play, though? Force Strix or Rise Falcon... Force Strix for the extension, maybe? It's what I'd do, but... ]

[arknpcs6]

::Snaps her fingers.::

Shrouded falcon, raise your talons sharpened through countless adversity and spread your wings of rebellion! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Raidraptor - Rise Falcon!

::An enormous mechanical one eyed falcon appears, roaring, with three material orbiting it.::

(2000 DEF)

[becomeanwarrior]

[ He's clearly trying to see where you're going with this, grimacing. ]

Rise Falcon but in Defense? A good wall, to be sure, but what are you going to...

[ Grits his teeth, looking at his cards in hand. What isn't he seeing. ]

[arknpcs6]

I Set 1 Card face-down and end my turn, Male.

:: ... ... ... ::

Several Turns Later

[arknpcs6]

::Ixiona has 500 LP and Blaze Falcon (Rank 5 / 1000 ATK) and Raidraptor - Satellite Cannon Falcon (Rank 8 / 3000 ATK) with Rise Falcon attached ::

So you think you have me cornered!?

Behold the Saint's gift to me! Quick-Play Spell Card! RISE RANK-UP-MAGIC RAIDRAPTOR'S FORCE!

I can take two or more Xyz monsters on the field or in the GY and if there are at least 2 on the field at resolution, I can Xyz Summon a Raidraptor monster whose Rank equals their combined Ranks!

::Onni, there's the largest Overlay Network you've ever seen in your life forming, crackling the energy from it is causing the light in the Palace Throne Room to bend and warp.::

[becomeanwarrior]

A Rank-Up-Magic!? I haven't seen one since-

NORIKO! I'M PRETTY SURE THE SITUATION IS NO LONGER FINE!

[ A pair of green shades form over his eyes as he shields himself from the light and crackling energy. Oh, this is going to suck. ]

What kind of monster could you be bringing forth at Rank 13...!? There's nothing that exists that's that high rank!

[arknpcs6]

Oh falcon emerge from the pitch-black abyss, and spread your wings to the horizon's edge, glorious and eternal as heaven and earth, and now lead the unending rebellion once more forever more! RISE-RANK-UP XYZ CHANGE! TRANSCEND! RANK 13! RAIDRAPTOR - RISING REBELLION FALCON!

::An enormous 4000 ATK falcon appears, armed to the teeth in gold and purple plating, its wings and components and 'legs' and tail scraping across the edge of the roof of the palace, its walls and its floor.::

UPON BEING XYZ SUMMONED, MY MONSTER DESTROYS EVERY CARD ON THE OPPONENT'S FIELD! RISING REBELLION FALCON, DESTROY HIS ULTIMATE FLAME SWORDSMAN AND ALL OF HIS SET CARDS!

ETERNAL VENGEANCE BARRAGE!

[becomeanwarrior]

Dammit...!

[ Shields himself as the barrage rains down, shattering Ultimate Flame Swordsman as well as Armory Call, Flame Swordsdance and Glory of the Noble Knights. ]

To think this is the power of a Rank 13... Urgh. Kamala, you really did it this time...

[ Bracing himself. ]

[arknpcs6]

Next! Rising Rebellion Falcon! Inflict 2800 damage to his Life Points!

And then attack him directly! Armageddon Airaid!

::And that's basically a Fat Boy bomb and a macross salvo blitzing at you.::

[becomeanwarrior]

[ You literally see him pile the armor of Gigantech up as the bombs and missiles collide into him, creating a massive explosion in the center of the throne room. ]

[ 7000 LP > 4200 LP > 200 LP ]

[ Coughing and wheezing in the center of the smoke, the Gigantech Fighter looks pretty char-broiled from that salvo. ]

Not... yet. Not yet. I can still fight!

[arknpcs6]

With what cards??

Men are always pathetic, cowardly craven animals that don't understand the superiority of women!! And you're just like every other man I've ever met, just as weak and half hearted!

I finish this on my next turn, but bask in the face of complete despair of my completely untouchable Rank 13 Rising Rebellion Falcon with its 4000 ATK!

::The falcon screeches, its echo piercing across the throne room, as Noriko and Shiyoko are very slowly responding to that.::

[becomeanwarrior]

[ Making a face like 'we have GOT to get Kamala better friends' to Shiyoko and Noriko, before he turns back to the duel. ]

...A 4000 ATK monster who's unaffected by every other card on the field. In some ways, you've made this extremely simple.

Either I can swing over your Rank 13 monster, or I can't. And if I can't, I lose.

Does that sound right?

[arknpcs6]

Yeah? And? You're a guy! I'm surprised you even know how to Duel!

[becomeanwarrior]

Excellent, in that case, I'm still justice.

DRAW!

[ Stares at their pitiful 2-card hand, having been forced into extending to keep pace with Raidraptors. ]

... Hmph. Weak? Halfhearted? All you've done is pushed me to the brink! I have more experience on the borderline of victory and defeat than you'll ever know!

I control no monsters, and you control at least one! I activate Last Chapter of the Noble Knights!

From my grave I special summon Infernoble Knight Renaud, and equip him from my grave with Infernoble Arms - Durendal!

[ A red-haired man with a white streak riding a black and flaming steed trots onto the field. [500 ATK]. ]

Because Renaud was Special Summoned, I can add an Equip Spell or FIRE Warrior Monster from my grave to my hand... and I choose Courageous Crimson Chevalier Bradamante!

[ Big deal, his hand went from 1 card back to 2, and Renaud can't touch Rising Rebellion Falcon. ]

[arknpcs6]

You only have one weak measly pathetic card in play and two flimsy cards in hand, what can you do against the Witch-Saint's gift!? Don't try and make me laugh! And most of your cards are men! Men can never amount to anything!

::She absolutely is smug beyond belief, Kamala needs way better friends.::
