Synopsis: Both Shiloh & Hou are neck and neck. Unfortunately, only one champion can be crowned. Hou, however, has a new card up his sleeve.
OP: Jo No Ka.
The battle ensues with Hou having 11 life, 5 hand cards, and 3 gauge while Shiloh have 3 life, 5 hand cards, and 0 gauge. For Hou's Side, Garga on the right, Nincat "Afterimage" on the left, equipped with Gar Excelsior, versus Shiloh's side with Emma on the right, Alice in the center, Henry on the left & Arms Biblio equipped.
Ion: The battle between Shiloh & Hou is still ongoing. Shiloh unleashed attacks, but Hou pulled an uno reverse & swapped their life points.
Hou: Bet you didn't see that coming, huh?
Shiloh: Well, duh!!! You tricked me, what else?
Hou: Desperate times call for desperate measures. Anyways...Draw. Charge & Draw. I set Combat Deity Hall. (sets) And I cast Gar-Advantage. (Ability) Since I cast a spell, 1 damage to you. (Electrifies)
Shiloh: (Hit) Ergh...
Shiloh's Life: 3 -> 2
Hou: Garga. Attack Alice.
Garga attacks.
Shiloh: I cast. Red Riding Shield. (Blocks)
Ion: She blocked the attack!!!
Shiloh: With Enchanted Wonderland, (Ability) I once again gain 1 life and draw a card.
Hou: In that case. G-EVO Z Right now. Change to Gargantua ONI.
Garga: (G-EVO Z) I am Darkness. I am Destruction. I...am Gargantua ONI!!!
Lost Ren: (smirks) I see what he's doing.
Ion: It's G-EVO Time. Though it's a shame his life points didn't hit below 6.
Garga: We don't need to. (Attacks, Glows Scythe) Ha!!
Suddenly, 5 dark portals appear underneath Shiloh's cards and sucks them in, including her item, much to her shock!!!
Hou: With no cards on board, you can't do much, can you? And you have over 20 cards in your drop zone, meaning Garga cannot be stopped.
Garga scythes Shiloh as she yells.
Shiloh's Life: 5 → 2
Shiloh: Ergh. Hold Up!!! I activate Alice's ability in the dropzone. Revive, Alice!!!
Alice is revived in the center???
Hou: Say what?
Shiloh: When "Through the Looking Glass, Alice" is in the drop zone, I can discard a hand card and call her back in.
Hou: Weird choice, but okay. Nincat!!!
Nincat attacks.
Shiloh: I cast. Delusion Running Amok.
Alice is destroyed.
Nincat: (shocked) Huh?
Ion: Nincat's attack was a swing and a miss!!!
Hou: (Charges) My turn.
Hou shoots an electric blast towards an unarmed Shiloh. But suddenly, she smirks?
Shiloh: Now YOU fell for it. I cast. Hou & Shiloh's Unwavering Love!!!
The bullets hit Shiloh, knocking her down, but then white feathers came out of nowhere, flowing around her, and she is floating upwards??? Hou was shocked and suddenly, her life points became 10. The young maiden then stands up with a smile.
Ion: SAY WHAT??? HER LIFE POINTS JUST WENT BACK TO FULL!!!
Daryl: So that's why she summoned Alice back. So that she can fulfill the requirements for Unwavering Love.
Masato: For Share!!!
Shiloh: (tease) Oopsie.
Hou: (Chubby) Mmm... But my turn isn't over yet. Garga, Revert.
Garga reverts & Nincat and Gar Excelsior stands.
Garga: One more time. (Attacks)
Shiloh's Life: 10 -> 8 -> 6
Shiloh: I cast. Shiloh's Feathers of Truth!!!
Shiloh then creates a spark of feathers through her bare hands and blasts them towards Hou's forces, much to their dismay as they block with their hands.
Shiloh: This spell also nullifies an attack. It's a shame that I can't draw since I have no cards on the field.
Hou: Ergh...Then, before that, I'll use Future Palette to increase Garga's soul. That's all.
The crowd cheers.
Ion: Hou launched his forces, but Shiloh also played her Uno Reverse Card and survived. Neither of them is going down!!!
Kaizer: She must have drawn Feathers of Truth thanks to Unwavering Love. And their life points are now tied.
Magician: Never mind that. Why did Hou increase Garga's soul at the last moment?
Kaizer: I don't know.
Shiloh: Draw. Charge & Draw. I now set Happiness Wonderland. (Sets) I'll only say it once: This game is mine.
Hou: Huh?
Suddenly, much to Hou's surprise, Shiloh holds a card and begins to Aura Farm & glows bright with a smile.
Shiloh: Great Maiden, with an Unparalleled soul. I call upon thee to end this all. Transform.
Shiloh's wrapped in a pink tornado and...
Shiloh: I am Shine of Unparalleled Beauty....Shiloh.....Starlight!!!
Ion: THERE IT IS. THE CARD THAT DEFEATED LOST REN. I'M GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN. HER NEW LOOK IS SO GORGEOUS. I'M SO FAWNING OVER HER.
Lost Ren: So there you are once again. Go for it.
Elijah: She's got her new form. She can win.
Judah: Go, Shiloh!!!
Josiah: Yeah!!!
Everyone starts cheering for her. No Stopping from the crowd. It is really loud and wild.
Hou: You know...Sometimes I wonder why you are so amazing. Better yet, why are you always so beautiful, Shiloh?
Shiloh: (Blushes) Stawp. You flatter me. I'll do you one better. Why do you always have to compliment me?
Hou: Because. You do deserve those compliments. You deserve the world, so to speak. Flowers would bloom so bright whenever you're around.
Shiloh: (Blushes) Hmmm...Still. I'm not stopping here. Activating skill.
Ion: Shiloh just moved 9 monsters to her soul. Intense.
Shiloh: You know what that means. I activate...Marchen Panic Wonder!!!
Suddenly, she glows and right from her soul, Alice, Henry & Emma are revived with excitement!!!
Ion: Shiloh just used her ability to revive her three friends!!! And they all gain 20000 power & defense!!!
Shiloh: (Ability) I also activate Emma's ability to increase Wonderland's soul. This increases my hand by 3.
Judah: Now SHE's cooking steak.
Josiah: She's locked in.
Shiloh: I cast. Folktale Companions Gather. One to wonderland and one to myself. Now, I'm sure you're thinking I'm gonna go for a 5 or 6 attack onslaught. Think again.
Hou: Huh?
Shiloh: Hmm. I pay 3 gauge...& 2 life...CAST!!! Hou & Shiloh's...(With Hou being surprised and saying the same thing) Wings of Freedom!!!
Suddenly, Shiloh flies high and gains an extra layer of Angel Wings. Hou & Garga are in small shock.
Garga: Uh Oh...
Hou: This is bad...
Shiloh: You don't want me to disappoint you. So I might as well give it my all. So get ready. I'm going high gear.
Hou: (smiles) Can't say no to that. You also want me to lose just to become my bodyguard.
Shiloh: (Teasing, smug) Says the guy who made us break up just to become MY bodyguard. Need I say he's so immature and so overprotective of good ol me?
Hou: Ack!!! Hey!!!
Shiloh: (smug) Hehe.
Ion: You guys. No lover's quarrel. Though I do love some drama.
Garga: Shall I move to the center?
Hou: Yes. Go ahead.
Shiloh: Emma. Attack Garga.
Emma attacks.
Hou: I double cast. Gar Down!!! Garga Drive!!! I reduce your power & defense by 5000.
But Emma successfully destroys Garga.
Emma: I still have over 20000 power.
Hou: And Garga revives and counterattacks on Alice.
Alice is defeated by Garga's punch.
Shiloh: What? But Alice has 21000 defense.
Hou: Garga now has 26000 power.
Everyone's shocked.
Daryl: I see. Hou cast Gar-Down first in order to reduce Alice's defense. And then he used Garga Drive to up Garga's power.
Magician: And Gar-Down doesn't require cost if Garga has 2 or more souls. So that's why he upped his soul earlier.
Hou: You weren't planning to repeat what you did last turn, right? Well, sadly, I'm not falling for it.
Shiloh: (Angry) Eeeeee. Henry, attack Garga!!!
Henry attacks Garga.
Hou: No Chance. Dragonic Loop.
Garga: Sayonara. (Vanishes)
Hou: You fell for that a second time? Haven't you learn anything, girl?
Shiloh: (Angry) Eeeee. Take (Hadoken) this.
Shiloh's attack hits, but it only dealt 4 damage, much to her shock.
Hou: Haha. Thanks to Gar Down, your critical is reduced to 4.
Shiloh: (Bratty) Whyyyyy!!!
Masato: (Awkward Smile) He is trolling right now.
Daryl: (Awkward Smile) I can't say it's not hilarious. But it's not over yet.
Ion: That's right. Because Shiloh played Wings of Freedom, she gains...
Shiloh: An extra turn. Draw. Charge & Draw. One more time. Red Riding Blessing. (Ability) And I summon Alice to the center.
Alice appears once again.
Hou: Not so fast. Dragotrap. (Ability)
Alice is affected...
Shiloh: What?
Hou: Why end it so soon? This is fun.
Shiloh: Fine...Emma!!!
Emma: (attacks) I have a picnic to spare!!!
Hou: And I have a Deity Green Dragon Shield. (Blocks)
Shiloh: (Bratty) Ergh!!! Henry!!! Just get this guy already.
Hou's Life: 6 → 2
Ion: Uh Oh!!! Hou is down to 2 life!!! One more shot and he's done for!!!
Shiloh: (Attacks) This is for trolling me.
Hou: Deity Blue Dragon Shield. (Blocks)
Shiloh: WHAT???
Blaze: (Awkward smile) This guy won't go down!!!
Hou: I told you. This is fun. That being said, (reveals) Let's heat things up. Behold!!!
The card glows bright, and it blinds everyone.
Ion: Ahhh...What's that light?
Tako: I can't see!!!
Hou is currently having his eyes closed as he draws power with lightning sparking around him.
Hou: You, who protect those you love. I beg of thee (Opens Eyes) Transform thyself and descend the almighty.
Suddenly, he's wrapped in a lightning tornado. He flies out and does a superhero landing. He looks up and...
Hou: I am Dawn of Resilience, (Open Arms) Hou Ren Genesis. (Wings appear)
Everyone's shocked.
Ion: WHAT THE WHAT???? IT'S STILL SHILOH'S TURN, YET HOU JUST TRANSFORMED INTO GENESIS??? BUT HOW???
Hou: If I have 2 or fewer hand cards, I can discard Genesis Anew from my hand and transform. Now I get to (Draws) draw until I have 6 cards in my hand.
Shiloh: (Thought) With that amount of hand cards, He'll definitely survive even if I summon Valiente. I have no choice. (End thought) I end my turn.
Ion: Incredible. I never thought Hou would summon his God Form and survive the two turns. As they say, muy bien.
Shiloh: You're such a bully.
Hou: Come on, you know me. I don't fall down that easily.
Shiloh is so pouty.
Hou: Although...
Shiloh: Huh?
Hou: I went tryhard for a reason. I want to see for myself what you would do. I knew you would slowly get back up. And I knew you would drive me into a corner, like so.
Shiloh: Really?
Hou: It's like you said. You're my other half. Meaning I'm your other half. I know you, you know me. It's that kind of logic.
Shiloh: (Pouty) Of course. (smiles) But then again, can you top my entire wall? I don't think so.
Hou: We'll see. My move.
Lost Ren: (smirks) I hate to admit, but the God of Resilience vs the Goddess of Unparalleled? This I got to see.
Hou: Draw. Charge and Dr -- Ah?
Hou is very shocked by what he drew.
Hou Ren: Wait, this is...(Remembers that night)
Hou is very surprised and afraid as he looks at his card while shaking...Shiloh notices this and is quite surprised.
Hou: Garga to the right.
Garga: (Appears) What's wrong, Hou?
Hou: It's that card the other night.
Garga: You mean--
Hou: The same night that I had that nightmare. (Thought) If I use this, then I might have a chance. But...what if...what if it's too strong?
Garga: Do it.
Hou: Huh?
Garga: Don't be afraid. Take hold of this chance. Face your challenges head-on. You are the Ace of Games.
Hou is slightly surprised, but he nods back in confidence. He breathes in and lets out a sigh.
Hou: Cracking the skies...
Everyone's surprised...
Hou: Rumbling all grounds...
Hou raises his new card high.
Hou: Pierce through Heavens as you take form once again. I summon you...PRIMAX OF COMBAT...GARGANTUA INFINITY!!!!!
Hou Ren pays 2 gauge, and Garga is sent to the dropzone, and then the right is wreathed in a rainbow tornado. When the tornado stopped, A massive, powerful deity emerged. Similar to Gargantua Liberator, His shoulder plates are now gold. His chest crystal is also gold. He even has 2 sets of giant & beautiful Angel Wings behind Him.
Garga: I AM GARGANTUA INFNITY. HERE & READY TO FIGHT. (Howls) I possess Power That No Other Deity Shall Match. With my Buddy beside me, I am Invincible (Howls)
Everyone is very shocked to see Garga's New Form.
Ion: WHAT THE HECK? WHAT IS THAT GARGA? WHAT?
Daryl: He Looks...Surreal.
Masato: For Share...
Shiloh: How...Wh... Where did you get it?
Hou: Coincidence. Here's Deity Dragon Tribe Banquet. (Ability) Activate Infinity's skill. I move as many Gargas from my hand and drop to its soul.
All of Hou's Dragods are sent to Infinity's Soul. When done, Many different weapons appeared behind his wings in Rainbow Colour.
Elijah: What? How Many Did He send?
Magician: Dvalin. Scorcher. Midnight. Fatal Slayer. Excel. Purgatory. Bruce. ONI. 8 Dragods In Total.
Judah: Why So Many???
Hou: And further. (Ability) I discard Purgatory & Dvalin from its soul. Until the end of the opponent's next turn, he gains all abilities of the discarded Dragods!!!
All: WHAT?
Daryl: With Dvalin, Hou summons two replicates!!!
Masato: And with Purgatory, he can launch many attacks!!!
Hou: My brothers are not here right now. But Garga and I inherit their hearts. In other words, you're facing not just me. So be prepared.
Shiloh: Yes, I will. I cast Blessing of the Unparalleled. For this turn, my cards can't be chosen by effects, and I cannot receive effect damage. Meaning you can't use Genesis's ability.
Shiloh passes her power to her forces with an energy surge. Emma, Alice & Henry feel the power surging through them with smiles.
Hou: No use. Garga has more than 5 cards in his soul; he can attack all of the opponent's monsters at once.
Josiah: Say what???
Judah: So that's why he has so many in there.
Shiloh: Hold up. I activate Hexen Ceremony. I destroy Henry. (Ability) And I draw 2 cards.
Hou: Garga. Show them your new power.
Garga's rainbow weapons spin around and...
Gagra: Infinity... Paladios!!! (Shoots)
A massive stream of rainbow energy strikes towards all of Shiloh's monsters, destroying them as they yell!!!
Ion: Talk about Rainbow Power!!! All of Shiloh's monsters are destroyed.
Hou: Nincat. Attack her.
Shiloh: What? But it doesn't have enough power.
Hou: Did you forget? I have Gar Advantage in my drop zone. Another 5000 power.
Shiloh: EH???
Nincat attacks.
Shiloh: I cast, Divine Protection of Shalsana. (Blocks)
Hou: (Attacks) Mind if I drop in!!!
Shiloh: Not if I close the door!!! Red Riding Shield. (Blocks) I can't draw, but I can still gain life points.
Hou: Then I'll activate Dvalin's skill. Dismissing Nincat.
Nincat: You better win, Hou. (destroyed)
The replicates appear.
Hou: Keep Going!!!
The replicates attack and hit.
Hou: Return now.
The replicates vanish and return to Hou's hand.
Hou: No damage, but you still have to discard your hand.
Shiloh reluctantly discards.
Hou: Purgatory's ability. (Ability) With this, Infinity and I...Stand.
As said, Infinity and Genesis stand, much to Shiloh's shock.
Shiloh: Then I'll use Alice's ability once again. Revive.
Alice revives.
Masato: They're not stopping at all!!!
Daryl: I know.
Garga: One more time. (strikes) HA.
Alice is out.
Hou: I'm sorry, sweetie.
Hou flies up for one last attack!!! He lets out a battle cry as he attacks with his sword. The moment the tip hits, however, it hits a random barrier???
Hou: Huh???
Shiloh: Hehe. I should be the one saying sorry. (reveals) An illusion's Miracle!!!
Shiloh flicks the sword away, and Everyone's shocked!!!
Ion: Unbelievable!!! It's the same spell she used when she fought Lost Ren. Thanks to that, she can't lose the game!!!
Shiloh: You gave me this card. So I might as well use it. And here I say...(smug) Thank you, Hou.
Hou: (surprised) I... (smiles) I should've known...My turn is now over.
Ion: Hou unleashed A Powerful New Card, but couldn't finish her off. Still, Shiloh Only has One Chance to Win. Because as soon as her turn ends, Hou wins automatically.
Rouga: I gotta say. I'm impressed.
Lost Ren: Can't say I don't feel the same way. I like it.
Sailor: (Sad smile) It's a shame Hou didn't use Navalgazer, Lmanberg, and Ice Blizzard.
Poet: (comfort taps him) You can't get them all, Sailor. It's Destiny.
Shiloh: I May Be Down, but I'm not out yet. Draw...Charge...And...DRAW. One more time!!! Marchen Panic Wonder!!!
Ion: Once again, Emma, Henry & Alice are revived!!! And her soul increased by 3 with Emma's effect.
Shiloh: And I activate Man Slaughtering Wolff's effect. I return two of them to my deck, and you must discard four cards from your hand.
Hou: Four??? (Discards)
Ion: With two hand cards left, how is Hou going to defend!!!
Shiloh begins to aura farm.
Shiloh: I'm not stopping here. Even if this is my last turn, I will win!!!
Hou: So be it. (Aura Farms, Open Arms) Bring it on.
The two players look at each other eye to eye with confident smiles.
Judah: I'm so anxious right now.
Micah: Me too!!!
Josiah: It all comes down to this.
Elijah: Good Luck!!!
Shiloh: Emma. Attack Hou.
Emma: (Attacks) With a critical of 4.
Hou: I cast. Deity Dragod Shield. (Blocks)
Shiloh: Alice. Get him. And I activate Alice's ability.
Hou: Sacrifice. I need your help.
Sacrifice: (Appears) I'll protect you, my king. (Blocks)
Ion: Shiloh attacks over and over, but there's no stopping Hou's shields.
P.S. She attacked 3 times afterwards with Hou, remains with 2 hand and 6 life, and 0 gauge. Both sides pant in exhaustion.
Hou: You're...something else.
Shiloh: Maybe...but I'm not done yet. Emma. It's Time!!!
Emma: Ready!!!
Shiloh: Great Creature of Excellence. Be summoned once again. Godcape... Valiente!!!
Godcape Valiente is summoned!!!
Valiente: Tee hee.
Ion: THERE IT IS. EMMA'S OTHER FORM. FOLKTALE'S EXCELLENCE. GODCAPE VALIENTE.
Elijah: Shiloh has 6 cards in her soul. And with Wonderland, Valiente now has a critical of 10.
Judah: TEN ??? THAT'S MEANS SHE'S GONNA WIN.
Shiloh: Valiente. Attack Hou.
Valiente: Dragon Breath...The (Breeds Fire) END.
The fires burst forth at Hou and...
Hou: I cast. Black Dragon Shield!!! (Blocks)
Ion: He blocked the 10 Crit Attack!!! But then Shiloh discarded two cards from Wonderland's soul and stood Valiente back up!!!
Shiloh: Hou. I want to thank you for everything. You've taught me a lot. Looked out for me non-stop. Even though we broke up once, you chose to be by my side. Thanks to you, I am more than just Shiloh Nelson. I am someone...who has done the impossible.
Hou: I...
Shiloh gets on Valiente's back, and Valiente flies up.
Shiloh: But today, no matter what...I will surpass you no matter what. This is it, Hou!!! Our Last Attack.
Valiente: To Victory!!!
Valiente charges forward towards a closed-eyed Hou, knocking him down with everyone in shock in slow motion. He was knocked against the wall.
Ion: NO WAY!!! Hou was knocked down for the count!!!
But then Hou slowly gets back up, much to her surprise.
Hou: You passed the test. I hear you loud and clear. Every moment, every confession, I cherish it all. Here I say, I feel the same way. And we are forever united. (Reveals) Dragod Crystal.
Hou's Life: 1
Everyone's shocked, and the crowd cheers.
Ion: UNBELIEVABLE. HIS LAST CARD WAS A DRAGOD CRYSTAL. HOU SURVIVED.
Shiloh was very surprised, but she closed her eyes while feeling glad.
Shiloh: I gave it my all. I didn't disappoint him. In the end, I had fun. My Turn...is now over.
Shiloh's Flag is destroyed.
Ion: GAME END. The winner of the Gaen Cup... IS TENG HOU REN.
Hou: WE WON!!!
Garga: WE'RE THE BEST!!!
The Crowd Cheered loudly.
Daryl: That Hou...He never stops, does he?
Masato: That's why he's the Ace of Games.
Cross: Truly. They are both spectacular.
Agito: Way to go, You Two!!!
Hou's Parents are incredibly glad. Rouga & Lost Ren clapped their hands while feeling calmly impressed. Guru students also applauded. Shiloh's Brothers and friends and the knights cheered loudly. Kyoya clapped his hands while feeling impressed.
Shiloh: JEEZ... Why Won't You Let Me Win, Huh?
Hou Ren: Hey, you beat me when I first fought you. I might as well take back my stolen victory.
Shiloh: Hmmm...
Shiloh suddenly came in and gave Hou a huge hug with a smile.
Shiloh: I love you.
Hou Ren: (blushes) I love you too.
The two hug each other in comfort. Garga then taps on Hou's shoulder, which catches his attention.
Garga: I believe you need this. (Shows a top hat)
Hou: (Takes) Uh...Oh No.
Garga: Come on.
Hou lets out a sigh and then takes three steps back while holding the top hat. A spotlight then shines above him, which catches everyone's attention in confusion.
Hou: (happy-sigh) Frabjous Day...Callou Callay!!!
Garga then plays some music, and Hou starts to dance??? (Okay, srsly I don't think I need to describe his dance.) Shiloh is quite stunned but also happy.
Shiloh: Is that...
Garga: (walks in) Futterwacken.
Then the Gar Trio also came out as his backup dancers. Everyone else watches him, confused but also happy. Well, minus Rouga and Lost Ren because they facepalm. The trio did some cartwheels and flips. And Hou did one backflip, which shocked the audience.
Hou's Brothers: YOOO!!!
And to end things off, Hou does three 360-degree spins and shoots tons of roses out of his hat towards the ceiling. The Gar Trio presents him, and everyone else is quite surprised and also claps their hands in amazement.
Judah: Good Sir, well done.
Daryl: He's really odd.
Masato: Love it.
Hou then catches one of the falling roses and presents it to a very stunned yet happy Shiloh.
Shiloh: You are so weird. (takes it)
Hou: It's called a Victory Dance. Look it up.
Shiloh: (Teases) Maybe I will.
Now, the outcomes award ceremony. All of the Finalists are there on stage, and Ion presents the trophy.
Ion: Alright, you two. This is for you. Congratulations. (Hands the trophy)
Hou & Garga: (Accepts) Thanks, Ion. (Holds it up High) YESSSSSSSS.
Everyone cheers loudly and claps their hands as Hou Ren & Garga held the trophy up high.
Ion: With them being crowned, they've now earned the right to battle the sponsor of the Gaen Cup. Oh, look, there he is now.
Kyoya then walks towards them while clapping his hands.
Kyoya: I must admit, your fights are very magnificent. Now that you've won, (holds out his right hand), do you accept my challenge?
Hou Ren & Garga feel reluctant but....
Hou Ren: Of course, We Do. (Shake his hand) We humbly accept.
The Crowd cheers.
Ion: And with that, the battle between Kyoya Gaen and Teng Hou Ren will be held in 2 weeks' time at this very stage. We hope to see you all very soon. Over and Out.
ED: B.O.F.
Hou: Before the main battle, I want to fight against one more opponent. Next time, "Resilience Vs Nothingness". Join us for a buddyfight.
Story End.
