Networkruler: Since Jackpot has been too busy to work on the fic, he decided to move on and do a fic by himself. So I decided to reboot Sacred Guardians and take it into another direction. Though I can't possibly take Jackpot's place since he is an incredible writer and storyteller, I will try my best to fill the void he left. I will not be accepting OC cards from the fans, however I will listen to your comments on the writing of the fic. However, this is only a prologue chapter, I will not be making more chapters till I find the time, and the writers, because I am Networkruler and your not.
Yugioh The Sacred Guardians II
Chapter 1: The Awakening
A women in a dark purple robe is walking towards an older man in a light blue robe, his beard can also be seen through the front of the hood, they are inside a large temple and on the walls, there are Aztec like writings.
Robed Woman: You summoned me master?
Old Man: Yes, I had another vision.
Robed Woman: Of who master?
Old Man: One of the chosen.
(We then cut to New Domino City, we see a yuji n riding a red and white duel runner in a small Turbo Duel Arena.)
Yuji: WHOO HOO, THIS IS AWESOME.
Gary The Repairman: Don't go too fast otherwise you will CRASH!
Yuji jumps out of his Duel Runner as it speeds towards the repairman's garage door and break through it, leaving a hole in the door.
When Yuji gets up, he takes off his helmet and we see that he has black short hair, he is Asian, he is also wearing a dark blue jacket, a teal v-neck shirt, and light blue pants that have a rubber quality. He is also 17 years old and has green-eyes.
Gary: That's the fifth duel runner you destroyed this month.
Gary is a bulky Asian male who is in his early 50s, he also has a gray beard.
Yuji: Don't worry about it, my parents will pay for it. So how is my personal duel runner coming?
Yuji: My parents are gone most of the time, besides the maid likes having privacy.
Gary: Well it's getting dark and as you know.
Yuji: I know I know, you have to close shop, I'll just walk home.
(As he walks on the sidewalk home, the skyscrapers in the background are glowing a luminous white light, indicating how the city is a powerhouse; the light is reflected on the ocean which can be seen near Yuji's direction.)
Yuji goes to the front door of his mansion, which is opened by his maid Mary.
Yuji: How's it going Mary.
Mary: You are late for your curfew, and you got a letter.
Yuji: From who?
Mary: Steve, you know, the boyfriend of your cousin Gwenith.
Yuji: Let me see.
Yuji then proceeds to open the letter when he reaches his room.
(How's it going buddy, I just wanted to let you know that I will be visiting New Domino City shortly, I have just finished winning the Duel Monsters American Championship Tournament and I like to take a long break before I go to the World Championship. You can meet me at the Domino Airport tomorrow at 10 AM.)
Yuji: Yes, he is finally coming back to New Domino.
Mary: You better get your sleep then if you want to be ready in the morning.
Yuji: I will, good night Mary.
Mary: Good night Yuji.
Yuji puts on his pajamas with a repeating duel runner design.
Yuji: Man it is difficult for me to sleep, I am so excited to see him again. I haven't seen him for 5 years, after all he was my inspiration to become a duelist.
Yuji: I remember when I used to duel him outside by the ocean.
We see Yuji and Steve on the sand wearing their Duel Disks.
Yuji has Sword Hunter and Fiend Megacyber standing next to him while Steve has Marauding Captain, Command Knight, and Warrior Dai Grepher next to him.
Yuji: I will beat you this time Steve and prove that I am the best duelist in New Domino City when my turn comes; I have the most powerful monsters on the field after all.
Steve: Like I told you before, having the strongest monsters aren't everything, it's how the duelist uses those monsters that count.
Steve is American, in the flashback he has straight dark black hair, he is also very tall. He is also in his late 20s.
Steve: My Draw!
I sacrifice my three monsters to summon Gilford The Lightning.
His monsters disappear and a warrior is created through a bolt of lightning.
Gilford ability now activates, since I sacrificed three monsters to summon it, all the monsters you control are destroyed, GO LIGHTNING SHOCKWAVE.
Yuji: AAAHHHHHHHHH. I should have known you would win considering you are still the best duelist in Domino.
Steve: Not yet, even if I do win the World Championship some day, I won't be the best forever. There will be duelists who will take my title once I retire, maybe you will be my successor.
Yuji: Hahahaha, I wish, but still you're the best, no one could beat you.
Steve: I only wished that were true, remember winning isn't everything, because when we lose, we learn from our mistakes and become a better duelist afterwards, remember that Yuji.
Yuji then wakes up and his clock says 9:50 AM.
Yuji: OH SHOOT! I got to get my Duel Runner and get to the airport.
Yuji runs and puts on his clothes and runs outside to the sidewalk, only to be stopped by a tall brown bearded Domino City Police Officer.
Officer Izaki: STOP!
Yuji: What now!
Izaki: You are under arrest for the theft of rare Duel Monsters cards from the Domino City Card Vault approximately 1 AM today.
Yuji: I did no such thing!
Izaki: Really, (He pulls out an IPad like device out of his Duel Runner and then shows the recorded footage to Yuji. It looks like Yuji riding the Duel Runner he just broke yesterday, and is speeding away from the authorities.)
Yuji: That wasn't me! Besides, I broke that Duel Runner hours before that robbery.
Izaki: So you admit that you used that Duel Runner to get away from the authorities.
Yuji: No I didn't. You aren't going to believe me, will you. How about this, you probably haven't dueled in a while, so you and I will duel right here right now, if I win, you let me go for 2 hours and I will return quietly, if you win, I will let you take me to the police station.
Izaki: I could get fired for this, very well.
The two walk a few steps away from each other and then they activate their duel disks.
Izaki and Yuji: Let's Duel!
Izaki: Both of our life points are set at 4000 since it's the standard, as I recall. Since I am a nice guy, I will let you go first.
Yuji: Very well, I DRAW!
I set a monster and two cards face-down.
Izaki: My turn, DRAW!
I activate the spell card advanced ritual art, now by sending my two level 4 insect knights from my deck to the graveyard, I can ritual summon my ace monster. Come forth, Cockroach Golem!
The golem is a muscular man clad in brown insect like armor.
Atk: 2000
Then I banish my two insect knights from my graveyard to special summon Doom Dozer
Atk: 2800
A giant worm like creature appears after the two knight cards fade into dust.
Yuji: Two giant insect monsters in one turn?
(Yuji then flashes back three years ago, remembering a person he dueled at the same spot he is dueling Izaki.)
Yuji's Thoughts: I remember when I dueled the local bully, when he was trying to steal the cards of a little kid right by my house, I think his name was Treven. Man he was tough.
We then see that the bully who is a fat kid with flat brown hair and is wearing a brown rocky duel disk, while Yuji is wearing a silver duel disk.
Yuji: Life 1000
Phoenix Gearfried: Atk 2800
Gearfried the Iron Knight: Atk 1800
Treven: Life 2500
Tyrant Dragon: Atk 2900
Treven: Your Gliford the Lightning will be mine after my dragon pumbles your monsters into the ground.
Tyrant Dragon, attack his monsters with dual flare attack!
Yuji: I activate my trap card defense draw, now the damage I take from the battle is reduced to 0 and I get to draw one card.
(Gearfried melts after getting hit by the flare.)
Treven: Very well, Tyrant Dragon destroy his Gearfried.
(Gearfried explodes in a burst of flame.)
Yuji Life 900
Yuji: You just activated my trap card Warriors United, now I can special summon my Queen's Knight and my King's Knight from my deck, and thanks to my King's Knight I can special summon my Jack's Knight.
Queen's Knight: Def 1600
King's Knight: Def 1400
Jack's Knight: Def 1000
Treven: I end my turn with a card face-down. Heheheheehee
Yuji: My turn (Yuji draws Gliford the Lightning.)
(In Yuji's hand contains polymerization and Gliford the Lightning and Birthright.)
Yuji's Thoughts: If I sacrifice my three knights, I can summon Gliford and use his ability to destroy his dragon and finish him off, though if I summon Joker, I'll be safe from Treven's trap card. I'll just have to go for the fast road.
Yuji: I sacrifice my three knights to summon Gliford the Lightning.
(Gliford appears through a veil of lightning.)
Gliford's ability lets me destroy all of your monsters.
Treven: Not so fast, I activate the trap card shadow split.
Yuji: What!
(Gliford the Lightning then separates into two monsters, a bright copy and a shadow copy.)
Treven: Your Gliford's ability are now not only negated, but he is also split into two weaker monsters.
Gliford: 1400 Atk
Shadow Gliford: 1400 Atk
Treven: You been bragging about your precious Gliford all day, well now it's mine.
Yuji: I LOST!
Steve: STOP! Treven, here is a rare card that I thank will suit your deck, just walk away and never come back here again.
Treven: Alright, see ya later pipsqueak.
Yuji: Sorry but I thought he should have gotten what was coming to him.
Steve: It's not that, it's how you are acting reckless, you will so determined to win that you didn't he think about the consequences of your actions. Dueling is not just a battle between the cards, but a battle between the duelists's minds. He knew that you were going to use your Gliford against him and thus set a trap for you in turn. Remember this Yuji, one of the keys to victory is to being step ahead of your opponent, not the other way around.
(We then flash forward to the present.)
Izaki: My insects will enjoy eating your monster for breakfast. Golem attack his face-down monster.
Yuji: You destroyed my face-down Featherizer. When it's destroyed in battle, I can send my Dark Valkryia from the deck to the graveyard to draw one card.
Izaki: A Gemini monster, interesting, I haven't seen those cards before.
Yuji: There's more where that came from. I then I activate my trap card Birthright, since my Valkryia is treated as a normal monster while it's in the graveyard, I can use this trap to bring it back in Attack Mode.
A dark fairy like monster appears out of Yuji's Duel Disk.
Att: 1800
I then activate my Celebration of Creation trap card, since a monster was special summoned by the effect of a spell or trap card, I can end your turn right now.
Izaki: That card won't save you forever. Thinks (Why didn't he use that card when I summoned my golem, he must have expected me to summon my Doom Dozer, which means he plans to destroy it before I can use it.) Your turn runt.
Yuji: Thank you, (He draws his Crusader of Endymion)
I summon my Crusader of Endymion to the field.
(A human in bulky blue armor appears in front of Yuji.)
Atk: 1900
I then activate my spell card Unleash Your Power!
(Yuji's two monsters then start to glow, Valkryia is glowing a purple aura while Crusader is glowing a yellow aura.)
Thanks to my spell card, the true powers of my Gemini monsters have been unleashed. I activate Valkryia's ability, now it gains a spell counter and with that spell counter it gains 300 attack points.
Valkryia: Atk 2100
However I will use that counter for my Valkyria's special abilty, you see by removing one spell counter from it, I can destroy your Doom Dozer. Go Spell Counter Misslie!
(Valkryia throws the spell counter towards Doom Dozer, causing it to explode.)
Thinks ( He is not provoked that I destroyed one of his more powerful monsters. He must be hiding something, no matter.) I am not done yet, I activate the ability of my Crusader, now my Valkryia gains it's spell counter back, and my Crusader gets a 600 attack point boost for good measure.
Crusader: Atk 2500
Now instead of wasting my spell counter on your golem I am going to attack it with my Valkryia. Go, dark light blast!
(The golem gets hit by a magic missile from Valkryia, however it has no effect.)
Izaki Life 3900
Izaki: Big mistake Yuji, you see, Golem cannot be destroyed in battle, and instead gains a 500 attack point boost.
(The Golem's experiences a muscle spasm and its attack points then proceeds to rise.)
Cockroach Golem Atk: 2500
Yuji: Very well, I go to my second main phase and use my Valkryia's ability to destroy your golem.
Valkryia throws her spell counter towards the Golem and it explodes.
I end my turn with a face-down card and now the side effect of the spell card I used earlier kicks in, now both of my monsters are flipped face-down, I am still in the lead.
Izaki: We will see. My turn.
I activate the spell card Hidden Armory, now by sending the top card of my deck to the graveyard I can add any equip spell card from my deck to my hand, however I cannot normal summon or set this turn. (He then adds his Fulfillment of Contract to his hand.)
I activate the equip spell Fulfillment of Contract, now my paying 800 of my life points.
Izaki Life 3100
I resurrect my Golem in attack mode
Atk: 2000
Yuji: Well that's annoying.
Izaki: This is just the beginning, I then activate the equip spell card twin swords of flashing light, now my discarding my second doom dozer, my golem can attack twice, however it will lose 500 attack points, however I can redeem that by equipping it with my big bang shot spell card, it not only gains 400 attack points, but it also can inflict piercing damage.
Cockroach Golem: Atk 1900
Attack his face-down monster with Earth Fist.
Yuji: I activate my face-down spell card Quick Summon, now my tributing both of my face-down monsters, I can summon my Phoenix Gearfried from my hand.
Atk 2800
Izaki: That doesn't matter, Golem continue your attack.
(The warrior intercepts the golem with his fire shield, blocking the blow.)
Izaki Life 2200
Now my Golem gets stronger.
Atk 2400
Again!
(The golem throws another punch.)
Izaki Life 1800
Golem Atk: 2900
I end my turn with a face-down card.
Yuji: Very well, I'll go.
Yuji: Your not the only one with equip spells, but before that I Gemini Summon my Gearfried.
Phoenix Gearfried then glows a red aura.
I activate my own hidden armory to add my Magnet Sword to my hand.
I then equip my Magnet Sword to my Gearfried, I activate the ability of my sword, now I can destroy your big bang shot and my sword takes its abilities.
(The sword fires a bolt of light towards Izaki's Big Bang Shot.)
Since you lost your Big Bang Shot your monster is removed from play.
Izaki: Nice try but I activate the effect of my D.D Spider from my graveyard, by banishing it and my doom dozer from the graveyard, I can equip my Spider to my Golem, which means it cannot be removed from play.
Yuji: My Gearfried still gains 400 additional attack points since it stole the ability of your Big Bang Shot. Go attack his monster with sword of fire.
Gearfried charges with his flaming sword only to be stopped by a strange barrier.
Izaki: Nice try but I activated my trap card, Spirit Barrier, now all battle damage I take is 0 while I control a monster and my Golem gets stronger now.
Cockroach Golem Atk: 3000
Yuji: I end my turn with a face-down.
Izaki: My turn, hehehehehe (He sees that he drew mirror force.)
Golem attack his Gearfried with Earth Fist.
(Golem punches Gearfried in the face but it has no effect.)
Golem Atk: 3500
Finish him off Golem. Gaia Power dive!
Yuji: 3700
Yuji: I activate the trap card Warriors United, since a level 8 warrior monster I controlled was destroyed in battle, I can summon two level 4 warriors from my deck and they are my Queen's Knight and King's Knight, and through King Knight's effect I can special summon my Jack's Knight.
Golem: Even if you had a million knights, they still couldn't stop my Golem. (And with my mirror force, I won't even have to worry about it.)
I end my turn with a face-down.
Yuji: It's my turn, I activate the spell card Gemini Draw, now I can draw 3 cards since I have three Gemini monsters in the graveyard. I activate the spell card polymerization, fusing my three knights together to form one of my most powerful monsters. Arkana Knight Joker!
A huge bulky warrior clad in black and white armor appears through a fusion portal.
Atk: 3800
Izaki: Did you forget that my Golem is invulnerable.
Yuji: Having the strongest monsters isn't everything, it's how the duelist uses them.
I activate the spell card mystical space typhoon, which means your spirit barrier is gone.
(Spirit Barrier is destroyed in a blue typhoon.)
Then I activate the equip spell Lightfueled Sword, now when my Joker battles your Golem, it's automatically destroyed at the end of the battle.
Go Light Sword Slash!
Arkana Knight Joker tries to stab the golem with the sword however another barrier blocks the attack.
Izaki: You just activated my trap card Mirror Force, now your Joker is destroyed, and don't even think of using your Joker's ability, my trap card doesn't target so your Joker can't save itself now.
Yuji: I wasn't even going to try to activate my monster's ability, instead I play De-fusion. Now my monster splits back into the three knights that made up my Joker.
Queen's Knight Atk 1500
King's Knight Atk 1600
Jack's Knight Atk 1900
Jack's knight attack his Golem.
Izaki: Are you crazy, my Golem's attack power is far higher than your knight.
Yuji: I know, that is why I am activating my Monster Phaser spell card, now my sacrificing my Queen's knight my Jack's knight will attack you directly instead.
Izaki: WHAT!
(Jack's Knight reappears in front of Izaki and slashes him with his sword.)
Izaki Life 0
Izaki: Lucky, well a deal is a deal, you have two hours..
Yuji's old duel runner appears from behind his house and charges towards the Izaki, pushing Izaki over a few feet and thus he passes out from the blow. We also see that the fake Yuji is riding the Duel Runner. Yuji then improvises by taking the keys from Izaki's pocket and steals his Duel Runner so he can chase the fake Yuji.
Yuji: Get back here!
Fake Yuji then deactivates the hologram processor inside off him which reveals his true form. A humanoid machine wearing a darkish green duel runner outfit.
Yuji: Who are you?
Specter: A shadow of your true self.
Yuji: My Duel Runner is activating its duel mode on its own.
Specter: I go first
Specter Life 4000 SP: 1
Yuji Life 4000 SP: 1
Specter: I summon my Sea Core in Attack mode.
Atk 0
I end my turn with two face-downs.
Yuji: My turn!
Yuji: SP: 2
Specter: SP: 2
Yuji's Thoughts: Why would he summon such a weak monster.
Specter: Wondering why I summoned such a weak monster in attack mode? Well attack me and find out.
Yuji: Your mind games won't work on me, I summon my Future Samurai.
Atk 1600
Attack his Core with future kitana.
Specter: I activate my trap card Twin Vortex, I destroy my Sea Core to destroy your Future Samurai. Now I activate my Core's ability.
(Two hooked fins, a huge shark jaw, a large fin, a meklord core, and a shark hide are summoned to the field and they combine together to form a giant mechanical shark-like creature.)
I summon Meklord Emperor Shark Infinity.
Yuji: What in the world is that!
To be continued
Networkruler: I just wanted to let the fans know that I am considering uploading a second chapter, I hope that over time each new chapter of this series will be better than the last. I also want to thank Jackpot 2 for allowing me to use the idea. Also, read his fics, they are pretty good.
