Shadow Piercer Archetype (12/12) - Pendulum Normal Monsters + Psuedo-Trap Monsters = Love Story In Hell?

[Atypical-Abbie]

Shadow Piercer is an Archetype consisting of Fiend LIGHT and DARK Pendulum Normal Monsters with various Levels and 0 DEF, as well as pseudo-Trap monsters in the same manner. They focus on piercing battle damage, giving up their Pendulum Summon for effects, Trap monsters and Normal Monster strategies. Their playstyle revolves around not having a Pendulum Summon, rather giving it up for effects, the pseudo-Trap monsters being able to Special Summon themselves from the GY this way. Additionally, they want to do piercing battle damage as much as possible, which they have various ways of doing, and it triggers their Field Spell, Hellrealm.

They are not based on anything, rather I made up a short story for them myself, which you can read through the four Pendulum Normal Monsters, however their names come from the latin words for first, second, third and finale, and in general they have references to a novel or play, marriage, love and eternity in the afterlife, which will make sense should you choose to read the short story, though keep in mind that I'm not a professional writer, I just wanted to do something different than I normally do.

Flavor Text:
There was once were a happy couple named Jack and Irene, so average and plain, yet their love for each other knew no bounds; they would do anything for each other, but just how much how much they never knew before it was too late.

It began as any other day, Ethan woke up, drank his morning coffee, went to work, but on his way home, there was a terrible accident and his convertible went off the road, crashing into a tree. He survived with many broken bones, but fell into a coma. His wife, mourning her husband's state, tried desperately to find any cure, but alas, nothing seemed to work.

You can only use this effect of "Shadow Piercer Secundus" once per turn.

Flavor Text:
Irene was desperate, fearing her marriage had to come an end, so she took to more desperate measures, and sought out a spiritual woman, who claimed to possess the ability to make demonic deals, but with a catch, to save someone's life, you had to sell not only your own soul, but the soul of the person you wished to save.

She didn't know what to do, on one hand spending the rest of her life with her husband and saving his life would make them both happy, but it was also a selfish act, as Ethan would never know his soul had been damned along his wife. Looking at her wedding ring, remember her vows, in the end, she chose to save Ethan's life. Soon her husband woke up, and they spent the rest of their days together, but little did she know, selling your soul comes with a cost far greater than she would ever know.

Flavor Text:
Irene woke up, a headache like none she had felt since her college days. Everything felt warm, no, hot, very very hot. Her eyes adjusted, and she realized she was inside a cave, the only light flowing magma, a faint scarlet red. Standing up, she looked around, nothing but cave walls as far as the eye could see. She walked and walked and walked, she had no shoes, and her clothes were ragged, unrecognizable, only her wedding ring on her finger the last remnant of her husband, but he was all she could think about, so she continued, and eventually found her way out, only to recognize where she was.

Hell. She was in hell. It was impossible to call it anything but, great rocky mountains and magma flowing above and below covered the place, every path leading nowhere, despite the red glow of the magma, darkness was everywhere, making the cave feel cozy in comparison. Unnatural screams in the distance, creatures of unspeakable flesh and bones flew by, larger than Ethan's college convertible he refused to sell, they seemed impossible to slay, but Irene knew that no matter what stood in her path, she would make her way to Ethan, she knew he had to be here somewhere.

Flavor Text:
She quickly managed to steal a demon's spear, but was forced to kill it, yet the spear felt natural in her hands; did the time here already change her mind, she wondered, but there was no time, she did not know where Ethan was, did not know what state he was in, but knew that she would do anything to be reunited with her husband. Weeks and weeks went by, and Irene felt different, her mind was rotting away, nothing but the thought of Ethan was left, that was all she needed, if only one last embrace.

Then one day, sneaking about, she slipped up, putting up a fierce fight, a highdemon managed to capture her, and forced her into a battle arena, low and high demons, fighting for the entertainment of the dark lord himself. Thinking only of Ethan, she battled every foe, fury and rage filled her mind, knowing that one day, she would find her way out, but then something unexpected happened: She was forced to fight her husband, but her mind was cluttered, knowing not what she did, beating her husband's face into pulp, his face became unrecognizable, but then, holding his hands to avoid the strikes, she noticed his wedding ring and she stopped the strikes. The boos and yells of the demons became overwhelming, and as they flooded them, all they could do was hold each other, as their flesh ripped apart, bones breaking, finally their consciousness lost, the hellish cycle began again, knowing not how long until they might meet again, but that no matter what, even for all eternity, they would spend together, if even for just a moment.

This gives pendulums more options and would go good with normal support.
