They say curiosity killed the cat.
Perhaps Alexis Rhodes was feeling something like that right now.
She looked at the cards in her hand and pondered for a moment.
She knew that she couldn't completely defeat Jaden Yuki with just Cyber Angel Izana and Cyber Angel Dakini on her field.
Although Jaden Yuki only had one Destiny HERO - Drawhand with 1600 ATK on his field.
His Life Points were still 4700.
Not enough damage.
To defeat Jaden Yuki, she had to summon her Ace Monster.
"In that case..."
Alexis Rhodes waved her hand and loudly declared, "I activate the effect of [Cyber Angel Benten]!"
"When this card is Tributed: Add 1 LIGHT Fairy monster from your Deck to your hand!"
Alexis Rhodes drew a card from her Deck, looked at the card clasped between her fingers, and a triumphant smile appeared on her lips.
As long as she found a way to summon this card, she would definitely win.
However, she was still a little short of summoning this card.
Alexis Rhodes put the drawn card back into her hand, looking at the two remaining cards in her hand.
In that case...
"I activate the Spell Card! [Dimension Fusion]!"
Alexis Rhodes flipped over a card in her hand and announced.
"Pay 2000 Life Points; both players Special Summon as many of their banished cards as possible to their field!"
"But, unfortunately, Jaden Yuki, you have no monsters in your Banished Zone."
Alexis Rhodes smiled, looking at Jaden Yuki with a hint of smugness.
"Your Masked HERO Dark Law caused me a lot of trouble, but now it seems it actually helped me."
"Come forth! My banished monsters!"
A current flashed across Alexis Rhodes.
Alexis Rhodes' Life Points began to fluctuate significantly.
[Alexis Rhodes: LP4000→2000]
"Among my banished monsters, I can Special Summon [Cyber Petit Angel], [Cyber Tutu], and [Etoile Cyber]!"
These were all cards that were banished by Masked HERO Dark Law's effect during Cyber Angel Dakini's Ritual Summon.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Three beams of light flickered on Alexis Rhodes' field.
As the light dispersed, the figures of three monsters simultaneously appeared before Alexis Rhodes.
"Because of [Cyber Petit Angel]'s effect, I can add 1 [Machine Angel Ritual] or [Cyber Angel] from my Deck to my hand!"
Alexis Rhodes curled her lips into a smile.
"With this, everything is complete..."
Alexis Rhodes murmured softly.
However, when she looked up, she saw that Jaden Yuki's face remained calm.
He even looked like he wanted to laugh.
"Three, two,"
Clenching his fist, Jaden Yuki finished counting down the numbers he had spoken.
"Could it be that Jaden Yuki is counting according to the number of monsters I've summoned?"
A thought flashed through Alexis Rhodes' mind like electricity.
Because of Dimension Fusion.
This turn, she had instantly accumulated five summons.
And then...
What would happen?
Would all the monsters on the field be destroyed?
Alexis Rhodes swallowed hard.
But she wasn't worried.
Because in her Graveyard, she had another [Machine Angel Ritual].
That card could be banished as a substitute if a LIGHT monster on her field was to be destroyed.
All in all.
She was just one step away from winning.
She absolutely, absolutely couldn't be intimidated by Jaden Yuki's swagger!
"Then, I activate the third [Machine Angel Ritual] that I drew from my Deck due to [Cyber Petit Angel]'s effect!"
"I Tribute [Cyber Petit Angel] (Level 2), [Cyber Tutu] (Level 3), [Etoile Cyber] (Level 4) on my field, and [Crystal Maiden] (Level 1) from my hand!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Four pillars of light shot into the sky.
The ritual flames burned behind Alexis Rhodes once again.
Four monsters, totaling ten stars, lined up in the sky behind Alexis Rhodes.
"This is my full power! Jaden Yuki!"
Alexis Rhodes flipped over the last card in her hand.
"Come forth! Level 10!"
"[Cyber Angel Vrash]!"
Boom!
The ritual torch exploded at this moment.
A noble and majestic figure appeared in the light of the explosion.
Six transparent veils spread out in the fierce wind.
The strongest Cyber Angel descended from the sky.
Its unapproachable aura made even Cyber Angel Dakini and Cyber Angel Izana, who were also angels, instinctively give way.
[Cyber Angel Vrash]
[Level: 10]
[ATK: 3000, DEF: 2000]
Looking at the shining angel before her.
Alexis Rhodes' eyes sparkled with captivating brilliance.
An unparalleled excitement rose within her.
This was her full power, the most powerful side she could show Jaden Yuki.
Currently, Jaden Yuki only had one Destiny HERO - Drawhand on his field.
No Set Cards, and Life Points were 4700.
In other words, she had won.
Alexis Rhodes' heart suddenly began to beat rapidly.
She looked up, a faint blush on her cheeks.
She looked at Jaden Yuki.
Looking at the boy in the red jacket.
The words she wanted to say had already reached her lips.
"Ja- Jaden Yuki."
"Jaden!"
Alexis Rhodes steeled herself, and with the courage in her heart at that moment, she loudly called out Jaden Yuki's name.
"Hmm?" Jaden Yuki looked at Alexis Rhodes.
Seeing the strange gleam in Alexis Rhodes' eyes, Jaden Yuki was slightly taken aback.
"It's been three years since you first defeated me, hasn't it?"
Alexis Rhodes clutched her arm, her cheeks burning.
"Ah, yeah."
Jaden Yuki thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Have I gotten a lot stronger compared to before?" Alexis Rhodes scratched her cheek, a little embarrassed, and looked away at the ground.
"Yes, you've definitely gotten stronger."
Jaden Yuki didn't hesitate to praise Alexis Rhodes, "If it were the old you, you probably wouldn't have been able to set up this field."
[Cyber Angel Vrash], [Cyber Angel Izana], [Cyber Angel Dakini].
These three proudly standing angels represented Alexis Rhodes' progress over the past three years.
Now, she was a capable duelist in her own right.
"Um, I... ever since I lost to you that year, I've been following in your footsteps..."
"Before I knew it..."
Alexis Rhodes lowered her head, seemingly contemplating how to say the rest of her words.
But it was obvious.
The girl's fair cheeks were now flushed red.
"Ah, here they are."
At that moment, Jasmine and Mindy finally found the Duel Room.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the Duel Room, they saw the scene before them.
"Ah! Could it be, is this a confession?!"
"The target really is Jaden Yuki!"
"Quick, hide, don't let Alexis Rhodes see us!"
The two best friends quickly hid behind the door, their eyes sparkling as they watched the scene.
"So, I hope... I can keep watching your back in the future... that is to say..."
Alexis Rhodes' voice grew softer and softer.
By the end, it was so soft that even Jaden Yuki couldn't hear what she was saying.
"Anyway... what I wanted to say is already contained within this duel!"
[Cyber Angel Dakini], [Cyber Angel Izana], [Cyber Angel Vrash].
These three cards represent the transformation I've undergone in the past three years, chasing after your back.
Alexis Rhodes looked at Jaden Yuki with anticipation.
Hoping that Jaden Yuki would understand her feelings.
"Um, I didn't quite catch what you said."
Jaden Yuki scratched his head.
"But your end board still has a slight problem."
"Let me correct it for you."
"Eh?" Alexis Rhodes was stunned, not quite understanding Jaden Yuki's meaning.
However, the next second, Alexis Rhodes noticed.
[Cyber Angel Dakini], [Cyber Angel Izana], and [Cyber Angel Vrash] on her field all emitted white light at that moment.
The three monsters now shone like daylight.
"Wha- What's happening?!"
"Why are all the monsters on Alexis Rhodes' field emitting this light?!"
Jasmine and Mindy also hid outside the door, watching the events unfold on the field with astonished expressions.
As students of Duel Academy, they naturally understood that this white light was what monsters emitted when they were about to be Tributed.
But wasn't it Alexis Rhodes' turn right now?
Why were her monsters being Tributed on her turn?
And why was Jaden Yuki's Destiny HERO - Drawhand also being Tributed?
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Including Jaden Yuki's Destiny HERO - Drawhand.
Four white lights shot into the sky.
Alexis Rhodes stared blankly as her 'feelings' flew into the Graveyard.
And then.
A comet streaked across the sky, and the roar of it rubbing against the atmosphere sounded in Alexis Rhodes' ears.
Alexis Rhodes' eyes widened.
She saw a giant meteor debris suddenly appear on her field.
[Nibiru, the Primal Being Token]
[Level: 11]
[ATK: 9800 (3000+2700+2500+1600)]
[DEF: 7800 (2000+2400+2600+800)]
"Wha- What is this?!"
Alexis Rhodes collapsed on the spot.
Her feelings for Jaden Yuki,
How did they turn into this thing?!
