Chapter I - Part 4 Comeback
System: Normal Summon Invoker Best Summoning Method! Let's Goooo!!! Aliester got Impermed or Veiled? Invocation is on hand! Invocation is negated by Magic Jammer? There is Meltdown in hand already, or Terraforming got your back already! Meltdown failed to resolve? Just Normal summon Aliester! "Normal Summon Invoker" Best combo!!
It was just a few moments ago Nicole had nothing on her side of the field, but then there was Warwol with 1700 attack, Foxy 1500, and Centa with 2800 boost from her own effect. Not sure why Nicole traded 1000 more damage with 1600 attack, with three more cards in hands, obviously she still had plan, Eureka thought.
"Wolfy's effect activate, if this card is sent to my Graveyard, I can target your Mayukari!"
A flaming ball of fire, once again flung toward Mayukari, slowly it took a shape of a wolf, bigger and bigger it began to open its searing jaw that instantly engulfed Mayukari into shred of yellow lights once again. At the same time, a torrent of water also flooding from a sigil with water drop picture on it, then another witch of blue solidified from the droplets of water, "Oborezu's effect, if a card is targeted by you, I can special summon this card from my hand in defense position!"
"Not protecting your Mayukari? Hmm, no Mirror Force to reveal, huh?" Nicole exclaimed, knowing it was her chance, she raised her hands forward. "Oborezu is 2300 attack, but that's nothing! I activate Equip Spell, Blaze Beast Searing Blade by discarding a copy of Wolfy from my hand and equip it to Centa to give her Wolfy's attack point and effect!"
With the new gear to wield against Eureka, Centa's axe was replaced with another burning ingot in a shape of great sword, and a wolf-like fire spirits, presumably Wolfy, encircling her. Centa's attack points had grown tremendously into 4400 in instant, as the fire-clad on her body roaring even more brutal, yearning for fallen to be purge.
"4400 attack, with others, against a single witch? You knows no chill!"
"Who need to chill if you are in heat-- I mean..." Nicole suddenly paused for a moment, reflecting what she just said while covering her face with her hands. Then, as she regained her composure, Nicole shook it away even her face was still red as beat, "A-anyway, Centa, show her how sharp and hot your new sword is! We will battle!"
The centaur lady charged with speed of flame in wildfire, leaving trace of molten flame from her hoofs. The searing blade was thrusted forward, soon evaporated Oborezu, as well as Eureka's LP by 2100 piercing damage. However the set card had been there, it was meant to be used at this very moment.
"Before you battle, I will active Quick-action Spell, The Barrier under the Witch's Sleeve! during the battle phase, if control no other Spell or Trap, I can set any 'Mirror Force' Trap from my deck, which is Storming Mirror Force! Also, since your Centa is attacking, I can use the same effect of The Barrier under the Witch's Sleeve, by banishing it from my Graveyard, and force activating my 'Mirror Force Trap'!
A surge of wind gathered before Oborezu, the wind stirred violently and forming a shield made of tornady, blocking Centa's blade. The surge was so strong that it not only cooled down the searing blade into a heavy dark iron, but also blew Centa further aback, as well as other Blaze Beast, reverting each of them back into a form of card and returning to Nicole's hand.
"You, what? I've never seen that card before!"
"Really?" Eureka once again read the card, The Barrier under the Witch's Sleeve, once again. "But, it had been in my deck already, so I used it anyway!"
"Geez, if you have those card, then why can't you play it often? I guess, I will deserve it for being to hasty and greedy! I end my turn!"
With the turn declared as an end, Nicole left with nothing on the field, not even a set card or monster. Just an empty field, where Eureka could simply launched all out attack to mow Nicole's LP down to 0. "Draw!" Eureka said, looking at her card she drawn.
"Come one!" Nicole taunted, "Oborezu is 2300, against 5100 LP, on what hope do you want to reach?"
"No need to worry! I use my Spell, Monster Reborn! Be back, witch of sandstorm barrier, Sunarashi!" she exclaimed, as she revealed a Spell card, Monster Reborn from her hand. Nicole seemed to not believed both her eyes, she was unable to weave the words to describe, except with high pitched "What?" toward the resurrected witch in a brown robe.
"Then I Normal summon, the witch of raging wind, Fuzukaze!"
Nicole sighed, and then looking at a certain card in her hand, "Fuzukaze, the one that can return a single card back to hand if another Magi or Mirror Force is activated! That's why setting this card is useless at this moment..." she murmured.
Ignoring the murmur, Eureka continued her play "With her effect, I special summon Fukayami! And Fukayami's effect, I target Mayukari to set 'Mirror Force' from my deck!"
Filled her field with Magi Barriers Oboreze 2300 attack, Sunarashi 1700/2300, Fuzukaze 800/1200, and Fukayami 1000/1500, she had total attack power of 5800, and against LP 5100 of Nicole's, it was a winning turn for Eureka.
"That was fun, Nicole! Thank you for reminding me this game! Battle!"
The witches charged, with Fuzukaze as the lead. Barrage of bullets ranged from wind blades, skull's heads, sand streams, and water blades, Nicole took all of them with grace, as she had nothing left to defend herself.
Nicole LP: 5100 -> 0
"Fun, she said? Never heard you said that, Eureka! Perhaps that's the good thing about this amnesia..."

And as the began darker and darker with the absence of the sun, the duel had concluded, as the aura that lingered around the two had vanished into the thin air. The whales flocked back to the west too, might be the reason why there was no crow to cawing on the evening sky. It was replaced with whistles from the sky whales.
Back to the ground,Eureka never had to expect that once again, she had the chance to play her favorite card, despite the difference with the worlds and her appearances. "I win!" she yelled the victory.
"And that's is 12-13 already, Eureka! Let's have a break already!"
Nicole fell into the concrete cement, letting her body that had been worn out from excessive duels with Eureka the whole days. Never she had expected her friend who was just recovered, with amnesia, could dueled her for twenty-five times in a row.
"Oh, the sky is darker already! Too bad..." Eureka set her sight toward the setting sun, looked upset.
"Indeed, but you just recovered! Anyway, we're going back! Tomorrow, we will settle this again! Losing one more point to you leave me a bad taste!"
The two agreed with nod from each other. Eureka lent her hand for Nicole, normal, but as playful as Nicole be, she instead pulled her savior into her, then both giggled at each other. Just a normal thing two playful girl did in their teenage age. Or it should be, if Eureka did not try to hide her awkwardness after falling into the softest plump pair of flesh on Nicole's chests.
"Let's go back..."

The room was cooler without them, slightly cold even. Perhaps since Eureka forgot to open the window for too long it trapped the chilling air from the air conditioner. Sure, she still felt familiar in this other world due to things around her that resemble, or functionally resemble the stuff from her world. Like the air conditioner, just with different name here.
"You forgot the air cooler machine, Eureka! That's not good, you will suffer from hypothermia, so get to the bath and sleep! I will leave now, ah, how about I brought friends too?"
"I... I don't mind..."
"It's settled then? Well, good bye!" Nicole pay her a farewell, but with her enthusiasm, Eureka felt like she would definitely came earlier than she might expect, which was a good thing for her. Even thought it would be a duel between Blaze Beast and Magi Barrier again, and again, and again by the next day, her love toward the Maestra had already nullify the tediousness of the duels. It had happened before in her late world after all.
"Then let's bathing... eh?"
She was on her way to her bathroom, until she realized once again, that she was no longer the one she used to be. "How does girl take a bath again?" she thought it loud, but proceed to undress before entering anyway, leaving all outside. "I hope there's someone will correct the way of this forgetful girl, tee-hee!" she said.

Outside of the street, there was a girl in her twin tail stopping a horse cart with 'Uber' printed on it. Despite how modern and sophisticate the city in this world, most of them were still energized with magic, and any card or other modern vehicles were found rare on the road.
"Oh, good thing I found a cart!" she got into the passenger seat, which was opened magically after the lamp insides glowed, "To the suburban of Endimyon, please!" she said.
"Affirmative! So, a visit to hospital, young lady?" said the cabman, or cabwoman since she was a woman around fifteen. She worn a formal uniform--long dark blue skirt and work suit, might be from a horse cart service or agency. Hair so gray and tied on the back to let her wear the cabman cap. Also, it was
"Yeah, you won't believe this but we had fun! My friend got amnesia!"
"That's... uh, a horrible news! Is your friend in healthy condition?"
"Well, more than I wish for her! She's completely different and fun! Completely the opposite her usual somber and gloomy person! I like her now, but I never hate her even once! She is my only friend, and when I heard she got amnesia, I thought she will forget me and leave me again!" she took a few moments of silent before continuing, "Wait, why would I--sorry, where were we?" she wiped her eyes.
"You're lucky that she even still play with you even when she had no recollection of her memory about you, young lady! After all, brain may forget, but the heart always remind it to remember!" the cabwoman ended it with a small chuckle.
The girl was fazed, baffled, then slightly hysteric she replied, "Geez, ma'am, if you're a gentleman, I would like you to marry me!"
The cabwoman laughed in response, "I'm but a humble old cabwoman, young lady! But I'm glad that you like to have a chat with this old woman in this evening!"

"Miss Wever! What do you think you're doing?"
A nurse in Eureka's room had to barged in as she had to tell her thought for dueling non-stop, but then she had more thing to complain as a naked and water-covered girl came out from the room with towel encircling on the neck, staring with her eyes filled with awkward.
"Oh, Nurse Erda... go-good evening, I guess?" Eureka replied, slowly tried to cover anything on her body she could cover with that small towel. And of course, since she was once a man, the first thing she covered was the thing between the legs.
"Take your clothing, and go back when you've dried yourself! Or should do you want big sis Erda to clean every nook and cranny of your delicate body?"
Eureka hurried herself into the bathroom, took her forgotten outfits, and slammed the door shut, "I'm fine, thank you!" said the muffled sound from the other side of the room.
And later...
"My God, Miss Weber!" the nurse exclaimed. Eureka, with her outfit on her body already, lifted her eyebrows. Perhaps the concept of a god also exist in this world, but would it be the same or completely different, she wondered. "I know that you've suffer from amnesia, but please remember that you're still a maiden! What if some pervert saw you?"
"I... I will kick their nuts and broke their penis into two!" Eureka responded, still with awkward smile.
"Can you be serious already? Also, what do you mean by 'their', why it have to be plural?"
Eureka realized that she just made the situation even more dangerous for her impression, not to mention the scenario nurse had said just remind her to a secret Japanese forbidden animation show that she had watched alone before in the last world. Also, she was a man after all, so fighting back with brutal method was easier for her to think at the current moment. "Uh, we should expect the worst for extra vigilant, right?" she said, then seconds later she realized she messed herself up so badly beyond repair.
"I--I just--well, I wonder if amnesia could causes people to lose a common sense too, I should ask the doctor after this!" Nurse Erda the left, but before she pass through the door, she turned back, "Anyway, I had inform your family about the condition! And one last thing, no matter how distant you feel, they're still your family! Good night!" she then left in a hurry.
"Family, huh?"
