Crossroad, Binge
"Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!!!"
The luminescence flower bud bloom, revealing the dragon inside.
Everybody holds their breath, as they were fascinated (or intimidated) by the revealing dragon.
Violet scales, orbs etched on many part of his body, huge horn and terrifying mandibles, long wings on his back and hips, when open resembling the mouth of the Venus flytrap complete with terrifying fangs.
The dragon roared loudly, blowing everything in its path like a hurricane. The audience presents, involuntary raise their arms to guard and maintaining their position.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (LV.8)
ATK 2800 DEF 2000
"It's another strong monster..." say Syrus, amazed.
Yuji narrowed his eyes, glaring at the violet dragon, "Sakura... You're really bringing out some troublesome guy" say Yuji astonished, even though his hands still trembling.
As he heard Yuji's word, the violet dragon roared again, but this time its focus on him.
"Do you want to play with Yuji?" Ask Sakura smiling.
The violet dragon roared again, "Is that so?" Nod Sakura.
Like a good puppy, Starving Venom lowered his head, Sakura chuckles seeing his demeanor, and like a good master she rubs his horn.
"Are you hungry? If so, activate your effect... eat Elemental HERO Thunder Giant, Binge Eater!"
When Sakura said those words, Jaden were surprised, "Eat Thunder Giant?"
The violet dragon lunge and stood in front of the giant HERO, but when it comes to height, Starving Venom clearly eclipse him.
Starving Venom grabs the giant hero's head. The giant HERO felt a burning sensation all over his body, and struggling to remove the dragon's hand.
"What's happening?!" Ask Jaden, as he saw a golden aura comes out from Thunder Giant, and absorbed into the violet dragon's hand.
Hearing Jaden question, Sakura smiles and answer him.
"Starvy's effect, Binge Eater. When this monster fusion summoned, I can target one special summoned monster my opponents controls, and gains attack equal to it"
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (LV.8)
ATK 2800>5200 DEF 2000
"Attack... 5200?!" Shout Jaden, shocked.
Alexis' eyes wide open, as she saw the change in its attack points, "Gains attack equals to the attack of the opponent controls..."
"Isn't that a cheat?!" Shout Syrus, concerned about Jaden.
"So what? Not all monster were equal anyway" say Sakura calmly.
She still continues, "and... the effect is not only that"
"""There's more?!""" Shout Syrus, Mindy and Jasmine surprised.
Sakura nod, "Once per turn, I can target one level five or more my opponent's special summoned monster, and gains its name, and effect" tell her.
"What- what a powerful ability... not only attack, but also the name and effect too?" Say Alexis truly shocked.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon > E•HERO Thunder Giant
"Staving Venom! Use Thunder Giant's effect, and destroys him"
The grip of the violet dragon become stronger, the giant HERO screams as he felt his head were crushed slowly.
CRACK!
The giant HERO's body become listless, and then explodes into countless illuminating fragment.
"Kuh!" Jaden grits his teeth, as he looks upon the destroyed HERO.
Sakura then took at glance at Alexis, seeing her smiles and gaze, she inadvertently gulped her own saliva.
"Starving Venom! Directly attack Alexis! Don't give her any mercy!!" Shout her.
The violet dragon roared, the orbs etched on the dragon's body begin to glow one after another.
The dragon floats into the air, opens his wings that resembling the mouth of the Venus flytrap.
Branches of wicked energy manifested out of his wings, bright orbs contained within each one.
"Dreadnought Invasion!"
The energy surge forward, creating a powerful blast... to decimate everything.
Alexis closed her eyes and raise her arms to guard the coming attack.
"Kiyaaaaaahhh!!!"
The burst of energy hit her directly with very powerful force, launching her into the air, then fell roughly to the ground.
Alexis |LP 3900>0|
"Alexis!!"
"No! Alexis!!"
Her friends Jasmine and Mindy screams hysterically, then hastily they run towards the fallen Alexis.
Sakura then points her index finger toward Jaden, "Talaya, Sakura Gaeshi!"
The cherry blossom princess dance and swing her hand, attacking the tribal HERO with her crescent cherry blossom attack.
"Gu! Open the trap, HERO Signal" say Jaden.
Sakura narrowed her eyes, "Ah... yeah, I forgot you're a HERO user"
Jaden |LP 3700>2400 |
Without minding her words, Jaden declared the monster he wants to summon, "I summon Clayman in defense position"
"I set a card, turn end", still smiling she said, "Now, HEROes... can you slay the dragon?"
"Oo! I will! Draw!!" After Jaden draws the card, he put it directly into the plate, "Spell card Warrior Returning Alive, come back to me Sparkman"
His duel disk ejected a card, and Jaden grabs it,"From my hand I activate Polymerization, I fuse Clayman on the field with Sparkman on my hand!"
A whirlpool of green and blue energy appears on top of Jaden, the two HERO jump together to the whirlpool.
"Appear! Elemental HERO Grandmerge!!" Shout Judai, as he put the new fusion card into the plate.
A new HERO with white wings, and golden armor appears, wearing a firearm on his right gauntlet, and Talons on the left.
"My HERO's effect activate! Grandmerge can gain 300 attack and defense points equal to the combined level of Clayman and Sparkman that is... eight!"
E•HERO Grandmerge (LV.6)
ATK 0>2400 DEF 0>2400
"But your HERO still weaker than Talaya or Starving" say Sakura.
Jaden grins, "I know! So, I'll use this, field spell Skyscraper!!"
"That is!" Sakura eyes wide open, she realized what Jaden wants to do.
"When an "Elemental Hero" monster you control battles an opponent's monster whose ATK is higher, the *Elemental HERO* monster gains 1000 ATK" tell her.
"Oh, so you know? That save a lot of time" say Judai, he waves his hand, "Grandmerge, attack Talaya! Eto... Grand HERO Evolution!!"
Grandmerge fly, rushing toward Talaya. Ready to slash her with his talon.
"Trap card open! Wall of Thorns!! When a plant monster I control attacked, I can destroy all attack position monster my opponent control" tell her.
"What?!" Jeden shocked.
Countless tree roots appears from inside the card, running toward the HERO Grandmerge, and pierced his body.
"Man, I know it'll be difficult. Then, set two cards... turn end"
Because Asuka is already eliminated, then this turn its automatically is for Yuji.
"Come, Yuji! Can you satisfy us?!" Say Sakura smiling, as he extends her arms like she wants a hug, while the Starving dragon roared (excitedly?) toward him.
Hearing her words, Yuji smiles wryly, "You know... there'll be a misunderstanding if you say those word" refute him, while Sakura chuckles hearing his words.
He looks toward Sakura's field, there are still two monsters in her field with an attack of 2800, and plenty of set cards on her back row.
"First, I open the trap card Necro Fusion! This a-"
Before he finished his words, Sakura took a card from her hand and shows it to Yuji.
"Rose Archer's effect. When my opponent activate trap card, I can send this card from my hand to the graveyard, negate the activation and destroys it" tell her, as she discards it to the graveyard.
"Amazing... to be actually negate and destroys a trap from the hand. It's not even her turn yet..." amazed Syrus.
"Then, I activate another trap, Reckless Greed. This allows me to draws two cards at the cost of skipping my draw phase for two turn"
"Eh? Isn't that a minus?" Ask Sy.
"No. Depend on the situation, and the way you use it, that card can be much more advantageous despite its cost" say a girl with dark blonde hair.
"Alexis! Are you alright?!" Ask Syrus worried.
She nod, "Yeah, I'm okay. Thank you for asking" smiles Alexis.
Yuji closed his eyes, his finger trembling, touching the surface of his mounted deck.
He inhales, and then let out a deep breath.
[My deck... please... response to me]
"I... draw!"
After it, he looks upon the newly drawn card, his pupils expand like he was intoxicated.
Yuji then glare at Sakura, then to Judai, and finally his cards.
"Thanks to you sealing my Polymerization, I can't fusion summon any HERO, but! It'll change with this!"
Yuji put his newly drawn card to the duel plate.
"Miracle Fusion! This card allows me to fusion summon Elemental HERO monster using the material from my field or graveyard"
Jaden revved up seeing Yuji going to fusion summon, while Sakura frowning seeing him going to do it.
Yuji raised his arm, "Like The Sun that driving away the darkness and bring life to the world"
A portal appear on the ground, a miniature sun slowly rising.
"A new HERO would rise to bring hope to his brethren"
The miniature sun gradually dwindle, slowly revealing the HERO appearance.
"Yuji... is that your new HERO?" Whisper Sakura softly.
The Starving Venom roared vigorously toward the dwindling miniature sun.
"Lend me your strength! Elemental HERO Sunrise!!"
The sun dissipated, a new HERO appears, doing a heroic pose to signal his revelation.
E•HERO Sunrise (LV. 7)
ATK 2500 DEF 1200
Shinning mechanical armor with red and golden colors, a fluttering cape with color like the ocean. His Taurus helmet resembling that of another HERO Bladedge, a golden sun symbol etched upon his stomach.
"C- cool!!!" Shout Jaden thrilled, "Hey! Hey! Yuji! Why didn't you bring out this guy before?!" Ask him, eyes widen like twinkling stars.
"Sunrise's effect activate! Once per turn, if this HERO is special summoned, I can add one Miracle Fusion from my deck to my hand! Go, Miracle road!"
The Duel Disk search and ejected the targeted card, and Yuji quickly grabs it, then put it on the duel plate.
"I activate the second Miracle Fusion!"
A tornado appears on the field.
"A HERO that bring a new storm upon the battlefield. With the power of freedom and revolution, lend me your strength! Elemental HERO Great Tornado!!"
The tornado stops, and a new HERO appears on Yuji's field.
E•HERO Great Tornado (LV.8)
ATK 2800 DEF 2200
Green and black colored armor, he wears a black cloth like a shroud.
"Elemental HERO Great Tornado effect active! If this card is fusion summoned, halved the attack and defense of all faces up monster my opponent controls"
Sakura clicked her tongue, seeing her monster Talaya and Starving Venom reduced in size.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (LV.8)

"Here I go Sakura, Battle!! Great Tornado attack Starving Venom!!" he then wave his hand, "At this moment another Sunrise's effect activate!
When an attack is declared involving another "HERO" monster that Icontrol, I can target 1 card on the field and destroy it! The one I choose is... Talaya! Sunrise, destroy Talaya!"
Sunrise shoot a miniature sun with size like a basketball toward her, destroying her.
"Kuh" Sakura grit her teeth.
Yuji announced his intention, Sakura previous intoxicated demeanor is now gone, and back to her usual calm and expressionless self.
"Sunrise, pulverize Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Shout Yuji, pointing his finger toward the violet dragon.
The Elemental HERO Sunrise jumps toward the sky. On the air he curled up like a ball, his armor become brighter, and crimson aura engulf him like he was burned alive.
Sakura wave her hand, "Open trap card! Wall of Thor-"
"Like I allowed you! Reverse the card, Trap Jammer!!"
Sakura's trap card broken into countless light.
On the air, the crimson aura that engulf Sunrise become bigger and the colour become brighter.
"Now, Sunrise! Sunshine Overload!!"
E•HERO Sunrise: Praise... The SUN!!!
Suddenly, the hero making a pose, creating an energy explosion like that of the sun at the same time.
The audience and duelists avert their eyes from the blinding light, the energy explosion hit Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, scorching him into a charcoal, destroying him.
The explosion ceased, and Sunrise land to the ground with the notorious Super HERO landing.
Sakura then looks at her field, her Ace monster is gone, and Talaya also gone.
She then let out a deep breath, "It's my loss..."
