“I’ve got this, I’ve got this…” Terry murmured to herself, doing her best to swallow her nerves as she hesitated, one hand over her deck. “...I draw.” She nodded, closing her eyes as she dropped her hand onto the deck, sliding out the last card. A spell card, an important one; it could either save her, or… She could lose off of it. But there was only one way to find out. “I play one-day-of-peace. This is another card that allows us each to draw one card, but unlike dark-world-dealings, this one is a bit more cautious.” She explained, nodding. “Neither of us can take battle damage until the beginning of my next turn, which is… Handy, as it allows me to summon a Generaider from my deck; this is one you’ve seen before, as I would like to summon another Hela, in defense position.” She continued, walking through her thought-process as the monster appeared alongside the iron giant. “I… Want, deep down,” she paused, laughing. “To summon one of my babies; one of the demons of the void, destructive beasts that could break down your field with raw-fire-power… But…” She took in a deep breath, staring at her field - then her opponents. “...That’s not going to help me much here. Sure, I could get higher attack than you could hope to deal with-- But something tells me that giving you more and more cards into your hand, and making you throw away more and more cards while you have the superior board-state, is only going to give you more and more power. So…” She trailed off, pulling a par of cards from her extra-deck, and glancing between the two of them, ultimately putting one of them back. “I overlay the Generaider Bosses of Iron and Doom, to XYZ summon Number 9: Dyson Sphere!” She announced, as symbols along the floor lit up around the two monsters, engulfing them in light. In a flash, their spirits burst from the light, intertwining into a single being near the ceiling of the room, a large space-station, looming over Terry’s field, as she gave a quick nod. “Because every evil-genius needs a hideout.” She grinned to herself, smiling. “And with that, I end my turn, warrior of light.” Hana stared blankly at Terry. “Huh? Oh, so, so uh...you summoned a Monster, and played a protection spell, got it!” Hana nodded to herself as she drew a third card, making her total now three. She saw the card she drew and did a happy little squirm. “Oh, it’s this one! Watch this, this is gonna be a fun turn! First I gotta remove three of my Fish from the grave and….boom, look! Hunger of the Deep Sea!” A large, ancient looking, fish rose up from underneath the water on the field. Its eyes flashing with a fierce gaze as it settled into position. “It’s attack is equal to uhh...1000 for each Fish in my grave! Which is...uhhh...one, oh wait!” She then removed the last of Shark Ceaser’s materials for a third Shark Counter. “2000!” The Attack further increased by another 200 due to her Field. “Aaand now, spell time! Fish and Kicks! With the power of my banished Fish I can banish one of your cards and I choooose, that space base!” A trio of flickering fish rose up from the spell and circled the Dyson Sphere before dragging it down into the depths. Hana let out a sigh as she realized that was all she could do now. “I guess no point in attacking now, so it’s your turn!” As the space-station was torn apart by the fish in the depths, Terry couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, drawing a card. “Gonna be honest: wasn’t sure it’d work so easily.” She laughed, rubbing the back of her head. “Now then, that means I’m statistically safe to do… This.” She nodded, her evil-grin coming back, as did her energy. Gosh, thinking ahead really makes you feel like a real final boss! “I play my second, and final copy of Loptr, Shadow of the Generaider Boss.” She explained, the sly, white-robed priest from before once-again taking to the field. “However… I’m not going to be quite so complacent, or slow this time!” She exclaimed, flexing her hand outwards towards Loptr. “It’s time to take the initiative! Loptr, show your true colors! Bring forth your master: Frodi, Generaider Boss of Swords!” Once again, the Robed Priest gave a quick bow as he was engulfed by flames.... “Halt!” Hana called out. “I’m about to use a trap that’ll make you go ‘oh no’. Or rather, Oh Fish!" She then activated one of her traps and the card took effect. “When you use an effect I can shuffle a banished fish back into my deck...this one, and then stop that effect and blow up your Monster!” “Sorry, but I’ll have to interrupt that interruption, with my own interruption!” Terry smiled, snapping her fingers as a trap-card on her own-side flipped upwards. “Generaider Boss Room! When you activate a card in response to one of my Generaider effects, it allows me to discard a card,” she paused, throwing away what appeared to be a Dark World Dealings. “And changes your card’s effect to:” She paused, clearing her throat. “Each Player Draws One Card”. She finished, with just an extra heaping of smug. “Gasp, it was I who was made to go ‘oh no’!” Hana said with a smile. “Exactly! Cower in fear, Warrior of Light!” Terry grinned. “As your draw, allows me to summon another beast from my deck, in defense position! Naglfar, Generaider Boss of Fire! Join Frodi as she comes forth, my generals!” She exclaimed, cackling as the flames created by Loptr grew in intensity, only to be snuffed out in their place by visible gusts of wind. Landing in the center of the smoldering symbols was a winged archangel, a massive great sword firmly within her grasp as she stood at attention, staring the enemy field down. Meanwhile, just behind her, a bull-headed demon seemed to claw its way up from the ground; skin burning with coals as each breath it let out produced steam… “But we’re not done yet! No, sirree!” Terry cried out, practically bouncing up and down in her spot as she pulled a card from her Extra-Deck. “Because, with their union, Blade and Fire combine to summon my highest general, and their God!” Terry announced, clearing her throat again. “From the depths of nothingness, from the caverns of the void, comes a creature far more terrifying than anything seen before! Come forth, Jormungandr! Generaider Boss of Eternity, The Abyss, and All Things Evil!” She announced, as what appeared to be a black spirit shot forth from her card as she played it. The spirit first entered into Naglfar, tearing the burning bull apart from within, before wrapping its snake-like body around his waist, and tearing through Frodi’s armour; pulling the two monsters together until they were overlaid in an XYZ summon. A black-beam of energy enveloped the two monsters as the spirit was given form from their flesh, black scales giving way to red spikes as the world-eating serpent came into view, it’s master posing behind it. “And now, I activate his effect! By discarding one material from him - Naglfar, in this case - I can force us both to draw! And while I can’t summon off of this draw this turn, instead, you must make a devilishly evil choice!” She explained, sliding the card she herself drew - another copy of Dovelgus - under Jormungandr as it coiled higher and higher upon itself. “You must choose a card from your hand, or field, to attach to Jormungandr as material; a sacrifice to the serpent who consumes all.” Hana blinked a few times as she tried to process all that information. She looked at her field and remembered, again, she had a trap card that she, again, forgot what it was. “Well, I dunno what this one is, so might as well choose this trap!” She paused as she realized she had no idea how Terry was supposed to get the card. So, without a care in the world, she took the trap out and ran right through the holograms to hand over the card and run back to her position. The card, as it would naturally, went under Jormungandr; allowing the serpent to coil up higher upon itself; though, those who were watching, would notice as the massive serpent not only made sure not to get run into by the fishy lass, but also made careful motions as to not accidentally hit her, even if it wasn’t a physical hologram. “And with that…” She glanced at Jormungandr’s attack stat, now a nice three-thousand. “I end my turn.” “Wow, I have so many cards to play with now!” Hana said, still all smiles, as she drew her fourth card into her hand. “But don’t get too carried away, Hana! As we’re just getting started!” Terry interrupted, grinning. “I activate Jormungandr’s effect again, as it’s a quick effect! I discard another material, this time, the original Frodi, to have us both draw a card and attach a card of our choice to Jormy!” Terry concluded, sliding another card from her hand - a trap card, Dark Bribe it looked like, under the snake-creature’s card. “So tell me, Hana, what shall you sacrifice this time?” Hana drew her card and her smile widened as she saw the particular spell. Then she grabbed one of the other cards, Salvage, from her hand and once again ran through the field to give it to Terry. Placing the card under the Serpent, Terry did her best to contain herself to little hops in place, before coughing just a bit. “A-Anyways, lets go! You should know the drill by now! You drew, so welcome another generaider from the crew!” She nodded, a heavenly chorus chiming in as a copy of the archangel from before swept down beside Jormungandr, three fae-like swarms appearing around them. “And back to you!” “Your guy is very strong, but still not as strong as my Shark, and things are about to get even bigger soon! I will activate this spell, Sushi Chef!” In front of the girl appeared a man in a chef outfit, holding two large knives. “I can discard up to 3 Fish from my hand and gain 1000 Life for each. And it happens that you’ve given me three of them!” The girl sent the cards to the Graveyard and her life total increased by 3000. As she did her stomach growled and she winced. “Gotta get this done fast so I can eat...Anyway, if three cards are discarded I get to draw a card!” She picked up the card and immediately set the Monster down. “Rage of the Deep Sea! Which also increased in Attack by how many Fish are in the grave...only 500 though.” Both Rage and Hunger’s attack stat increased in a surge. Leaving Hunger with 5200 and Rage with 2700. “And now, Caesar, attack!” “Go ahead! Attack Jormungandr!” Terry announced, cackling. “But first, let me activate Generaider Boss Bite!” She paused, flipping the card over. Red eyes engulfed the world-consuming serpent, as it peered down from it’s towering coils. “Targeting two of my three tokens, and Frodi, I sacrifice them; to attach three monsters from my graveyard to Jormungandr,” she explained, both the destroyed Hela’s and the first Frodi moving from the graveyard to the snake. “Bringing Jormungandr’s total up to seven materials.” She explained, the serpent's spikes oozing a red liquid as it began to move in place; constantly moving and coiling around itself, digging holes into the ground as it did so. Hana squinted at the numbers. Glancing between it and the Monsters on her field. Taking much more time than she should have she slowly nodded. “It’s bigger.” She said, her tone much more solemn than the statement needed. “I guess. I suppose….that’s the end of my turn then. Sorry fish, no food for you this turn!”

One-Puncher EARTH Level 4 [Warrior/Effect] 1800/1000 If this Normal Summoned/Set card battles a Special Summoned monster, during Damage Calculation: You can reveal any monster(s) in your hand, and if you do, this card gains their combined ATK during Damage Calculation only. - - - - - You can see how you could push the boost on this one. There's plenty of 4k and 5k monsters out there from the Main Deck so you can probably push 24,000 ATK or stuff. Thought about halving damage but looking at how stuff like the Utopia Double combo doesn't, I figure nowadays it shouldn't be as huge of an issue as it once was. Still, what are the opinions on this kind of thing?

Vivian watched as Drei hopped and jumped to and fro. What an energetic little dog! Even when the vice principal came in and kicked the dog, he seemed to be in high of spirits as ever! ...wait, she did WHAT!? How could she!? Kicking an adorable little creature like that!? Why, if you weren't the vice principal, we'd be throwing down later today, you hear me!? Unbelievable! "Guess I'm in trouble. Right, er...class...class... Ah yes that's right. I wanted to get a handle on what level you are all at. So I'll be handing out a basic test of the types of studies you'll be expected to know. You'll have until the end of class to finish it up and bring them to me." As much as Vivian tried to distract herself from the unbelievably rude and barbaric approach Reichen had to managing her dog problems, it wasn't an easy task. At least having to take on this big test to start out the school year was doing a fairly decent job of it. This wasn't a good start at all. And here she'd been so eager to get going when she woke up. But it had to be done, so Vivian got started. And for the most part, her scores were looking average at best. Physics in particular seemed to be her achilles heel in the academic fields. It wasn't until she turned yet another page and was met with a biology section that Vivian was feeling like she could do this. She knew all of this stuff! What animal is this? How does that type of plant get nutrients? Questions about organisms, food chains, and even entire ecosystems were questions Vivian found herself flying through without breaking a sweat! It was almost like plants and animals were her passion in life that she'd spent plenty of time studying firsthand or something! And as for military studies, Vivian found herself getting mixed results. She certainly had the know-how, but it was very specifically Colian know-how, a lot of which didn't necessarily apply on other planets. She didn't know the first thing about urban warfare. A test to prove one's academic worth. Sammi had to admit, taking this at all almost felt like cheating. She wasn't about to boast that she was probably the smartest person in the room, but she certainly wouldn't hesitate to put herself really high up there. As one could expect for someone of Sammi's origins, math was a trivial matter. Who needed a calculator anyway? Perhaps thanks to her all-nighter though, as well as various other independent studies since leaving home, the part Sammi really shined in was history. Her ability to answer questions about current events, however, was laughable. A lot of this is pretty simple. Let's see, what's next... "Please design a valid blueprint for a mechanical citizen's core"!? How am I supposed to know how to make one of those!? What was she supposed to do, just rip hers out and hope she lasted long enough to reverse engineer it? No thanks.

The tasks were simple. In order to gain the approval of Dread Knights associates - Dick Grayshoe and Sir Lock Holmes - each one had a separate task. And Natsumi had to admit, she rather liked the way Lock had put it. They could either discover the truth with him, or pursue the truth with Grayshoe. As much as Natsumi found herself more fond of Lock's style, it was probably better to go with Grayshoe instead. Pursuit was more difficult than simple discovery, and the chances of everyone else besides Kiyoko dipping out of that particular task were low, but not zero. Her choice had been made, though she had to admit, she was curious what those going with Lock would learn. Perhaps asking about it later wouldn't be a bad idea. And it was so that Natsumi found herself in the very store they'd visited earlier. "Okay, so we last saw one of our targets enter this store and never left, so we're thinking there might be something important here. Let's look around. Look for anything out of place... buttons, weird writing, that sort of thing," Now, if I were a crazed cultist, where would I hide something important like that? Somewhere customers wouldn't look, perhaps because they wouldn't be able to. Somewhere inconspicuous. Somewhere like... that little oven. That fit the bill pretty well. Natsumi started on the front, feeling around for anything of note. No buttons or switches here, there, or on the back. Nothing a normal oven wouldn't have, anyway. Perhaps on the inside? Natsumi opened it up, and did find one thing. Precisely one thing. A burrito. "...nothing here," Natsumi reluctantly reported, shutting the oven.

“YOU DIDN’T KNOW SHE WAS MINE?” Susano’o’s rumbling bass thundered across the bar, and the crowd (made-up mostly of those who had escaped his initial wrath upon entering the establishment) shied away. “YOU THINK I’M STUPID?” It was a dumb question honestly. The brat across from him was known as Silt, and really, Susan was under the impression the kid thought everyone was stupid. Which wasn’t really surprising once you learned about him. His age was inscrutable; Silt had the face of a fifteen year old, the petty but playful attitude of an eighteen year old, and the hard eyes and far-reaching influence of one of the most powerful crime bosses in all of Enta. The only part that Susan knew was for sure true was the last. Which was what had brought him to the bar in the first place. “Golden ram on the front. Enough alcohol to bathe in below deck. Name painted on the side in huge giant letters, with MY ex’s name. “ Susano’o closed the distance between them. Up close Silt was just barely up to his chest. “Mind telling me how in the hell you didn’t know she was mine? AND WHERE THE FUCK YOU PUT HER WHILE YOU’RE AT IT?!”

Nathan wasn’t really sure what to think of the two. A slovenly girl sprawled across the back of a Rhyhorn, and a soft-spoken musician with a toy piano, both of whom seemed lost despite implying they did indeed intend to challenge the gym. “Well,” the boxer rubbed the back of his neck. “If that’s the case, why don’t you all do some training? There’s plenty of trainers around here.” He jabbed himself in the chest with his thumb. “Actually I’ve been looking for some training partners myself. Challenged the gym with the group I was travelin’ with, but when I lost they ditched me, so I wouldn’t mind helpin’ you out.” He didn’t really know where he was going with any of that, but he usually just followed his gut and let the rest work itself out later. Right now his gut was telling him he needed to make some friends. Plus both the girls were cute, and the Rhyhorn that was carrying the laidback one looked fierce. Nate liked that. “You alright with that, or. . . ?” He trailed off. “No hard feelings if you’re busy. Just thought I’d offer to help ya out since you were lookin’ a little lost, and I wouldn’t mind conversin’ with something that didn’t just repeat their name and shout… Not that I don’t love my Pokemon or anything; it’s the opposite actually, love ‘em to death, but they can’t really replace hanging out with other PEOPLE, y’know?”

I could be pedantic and choose something like, I dunno, Duel of the Fates or even one of a couple Queen songs given that they were in Disney movies but you alluded to the animated canon in a conversation earlier so that's what I'll be working with. Gonna leave the Fantasia songs out of this; I trust this isn't exactly a controversial stance. I'm also leaving out the Eurobeat versions, but I did want to mention them because did you know there are eurobeat versions? There are some bangers on there. 4) Everybody Wants To Be A Cat, from The Aristocats, but only when the Asian caricature cat's part is yeeted into the sun. So basically the first and last thirds of it. Which I guess is a testament to how catchy the rest of the song is that I'm putting it on this list. It was basically stuck in my head for, like, a decade after only seeing the movie once or twice, so that's why it's here. When I actually went back to watch the scene... yeah a lot of it isn't okay. Fortunately, there's at least one electro swing cover that doesn't have it so I listen to those more than the orignal these days. 3) Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, from Mary Poppins. A short one and more a novelty than anything else but there's a memetic ubiquity about it that gives it a certain charm. In my experience, as soon as I say the word people tend to get right into the rest of the chorus, which has to count for something, I think. 2) A Friend Like Me, from Aladdin. Admittedly, a lot of this is carried by the animation accompanying it (and I could probably do a whole essay on how the live-action version tries to replicate it (with success depending on the viewer, I suppose)), but it's still a banger that introduces Williams' energy to the movie and I can't imagine anything (or anyone) else doing the job. 1) Hellfire, from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I had to keep it down to just one villain song, and this is that one. Not much needs to be said about it, I think. So good I made a version of it for Yugioh Skies. It goes a long way to develop Claude Frollo's character, but it also serves to firmly establish him as someone who cannot be reasoned with or brought to redemption except by an act of God, something neither the movie nor its source material provides.

Oddly I'm here cuz I missed black for a bit

Something in the wording is odd. It sounds like it should include "multiple of" 1000 somewhere. On the contrary, the card is not situational... it sounds very easy to have your thousands and your hundreds numbers be different, and the 0s at the end are always gonna be something else. If it had 4, or even 5 digits as requirement, it'd be situational, and for a quick self revive of 2k ATK that heals you up, I'd probably give it tiers of effects based on it, something like: ATK/ 0 DEF/ 0 This card gains effects based on the number of different digits in your LP. 2+: Gains 2000 ATK and DEF. 3+ (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon this card from your hand or GY. 4+ If Summoned by its own effect: You can gain LP until they become the nearest multiple of 1000. 5+ It gains 2000 ATK. (or insert any extra power play effect here for when the threshold is met). ^Last bits can be achieved by using damage halve effects or stuff that burns for monster ATK stats used to hit those weird 1750 stat monsters like Jerry Beans Man xD
