Mark of the Lotus (1)

Previously…

            “Figures Marcel would lose,” said Yubel. He supposedly had the ultimate monster capable of defeating Yugi Muto in a duel. His overconfidence is what cost him this duel. Now it’s my turn but before I make my appearance, I’ll need a few helpers. 3 monsters appear with duel disks. Samsara Lotus, take out Alexis Rhodes, Doom Shaman, defeat Jaden Yuki, Double Coston will battle Hassleberry and as for The Calculator, you defeat Syrus Truesdale. The monster duelists disappear to find their targets. Should these 3 lose, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands. Elsewhere…

            “Now to plant the seeds of your defeat!” said Samara. I play Cactus Fighter (1900) in Attack Mode. Then I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (3)

            “I summon Cyber Tutu (1000) in Attack Mode,” said Alexis. Being the expert dancer she is, she can twirl right to your LPs so Cyber Tutu, attack directly! Samsara’s LPs drop to 7000. Then I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (3)

            “I play Mystic Tomato (1400) in Attack Mode,” said Samsara. Tomato, destroy Cyber Tutu!

            “I activate Cyber Armor!” said Alexis. With it, Cyber Tutu can’t be destroyed in battle and when she inflicts damage by attacking directly, the damage is doubled. Her LPs drop to 7600.

            “Cactus Fighter, attack Cyber Tutu!” said Samsara. Cyber Tutu isn’t destroyed but Alexis’ LPs drop to 6700. I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (1)

            “I play Polymerization to discard Blade Skater and Etoile Cyber from my hand to the Grave for Cyber Blader (2100) in Attack Mode. Since you have 2 monsters, my Cyber Blader’s ATK doubles. Cyber Blader’s ATK rises to 4200. Cyber Blader, attack Mystic Tomato!

            “I activate Wall of Thorns, destroying all of your Attack Position monsters since you’re attacking a Plant-Type monster,” said Samsara. Cyber Blader and Cyber Tutu are destroyed.

            “No matter, I use Monster Reborn on Cyber Blader,” said Alexis. Cyber Blader appears. That ends my turn. (0)

            “I must say you aren’t half bad,” said Samara. However, it’s time you met another of my monsters. I play Lonefire Blossom (0500) in Attack Mode. With its effect, I can tribute it to play Tytannial, Princess of Camellias (2800) in Attack Mode.

            “Since you played another monster, my Cyber Blader’s ATK doubles,” said Alexis. Cyber Blader’s ATK again rises to 4200.

            “I use Mark of the Rose to take your Cyber Blader but I have to remove from play Lonefire Blossom first,” said Samsara.

            “I disagree,” said Alexis. I activate Spell Shield Type-8, which negates your card since it targets my Cyber Blader.

            “You should be aware of how dangerous plants can be and my Trap Card should help,” said Samara. I activate Pollinosis, which negates your Spell Shield by tributing Mystic Tomato. Mystic Tomato disappears. So now I still get your Cyber Blader. Cyber Blader moves to Samsara’s field and its ATK drops to 2100. Tytannial and Cyber Blader, attack directly! Alexis’ LPs drop to 1800. That ends my turn and you now get Cyber Blader back due to my Mark of the Rose’s other effect. Cyber Blader returns to Alexis’ field. (1)

            “I use Pot of Greed,” said Alexis. Now I get 2 cards. Then I play Cyber Petit Angel (0300) in Attack Mode. With it out, I can add Machine Angel Ritual to my hand from my deck. Next I activate Machine Angel Ritual to tribute my monsters for Cyber Angel Dakini (2700) in Attack Mode.

            “I’m not afraid of that, especially since it’s weaker than my Tytannial,” said Samsara.

            “You will be when she activates her effect,” said Alexis. Now you have to destroy one of your monsters.

            “Fine then goodbye Cactus Fighter,” said Samsara. Cactus Fighter disappears.

            “I end my turn,” said Alexis. (0)

            “It’s the end of the line for you and your monster,” said Samsara. Tytannial, destroy her Cyber Angel Dakini! Cyber Angel Dakini is destroyed and Alexis’ LPs drop to 1700. That ends my turn. (1)

            “I play Fulfillment of the Contract to bring back my Dakini for 800 Life Points,” said Alexis. Her LPs drop to 900 and Cyber Angel Dakini appears. Now it’s the end for your Tytannial!
