Chapter One: "Warriors and Peace"
It was a quiet night in Neo-Domino City, with no one roaming the streets or dueling. But the reason for that was obvious. Everyone in town was either asleep or at the large duel arena in the center of town, watching the legendary King of Turbo Duels, Jack Atlas, going up against the undisputed Kaiser of the Duel Field, Ryoga Hibiki.
It was the 14th turn in, and on Jack's field were a defense position Dark Resonator (300), and a face-down, while Ryoga's field consisted of Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth (2600), a defense position Castle Gate (2400), and a face-up Royal Decree and Burden of the Mighty. Ryoga had 800 Life points and 2 cards in his hand, while Jack had 3 in his hand and 500 Life Points.
Ryoga smirked as he said, "It's over, Jack. When my turn comes, I can summon the Dummy Golem in my hand, then tribute it with my Gate's effect and hit you with 800 points. Just give up now."
"Never!" Jack yelled, drawing a card in a dramatic fashion. He looked at the card and smirked. "I special summon Trap Eater by sending your Royal Decree to the grave!"
Then, a large, hideous monster, who looked like a cross between a fish and a demon, bursted out of Royal Decree, shattering the card (1900 - 1500).
"Now I summon Archfiend Interceptor!" Jack followed as a six-armed zombie football player appeared (1400 - 900). "Finally, I tune my Trap Eater with my Interceptor to summon my ace monster! Come forth, Red Dragon Archfiend!"
Interceptor and Eater flew towards the ceiling and dissolved into eight stars. A moment later, they transformed into the crimson, devil-like dragon of Jack's deck, Red Dragon Archfiend (3000 - 2200). The beast let out a roar as it took the field.
"That thing never ceases to amaze me, Jack," Ryoga said, staring at it in awe, "but thanks to Burden of the Mighty, it's a few points short of beating either of my monsters."
"Not when I activate my face-down. Go, Fierce Aura!" His card lifted to show a spell card. It depicted a lion roaring as other animals bowed down to it. "A card truly befitting for a king like me. This card forces all monsters with levels lower than that of my dragon into defense mode." Red Dragon roared a second time as it glowed with a red aura. Gaia Knight cringed as its horse knelt, using its twin lances as shields (800).
"Impossible!" Ryoga gasped. Jack switched his Resonator into attack mode as well (1000).
"Now my Archfiend, show Gaia what happens to knights when they face dragons! Scorching Crimson Flare!" The behemoth's mouth filled with orange flames, then used them to roast the warrior alive. Spectators in the front row could even smell the scent of melting armor and brimstone. "And thanks to Archfiend's effect, when it crushes a monster in defense, all other defenders go with it!" Red Dragon Archfiend spewed another wave of flames, incinerating Castle Gate.
"Resonator, end this! Dark Resonance!" Jack proclaimed. Dark Resonator raised its tuning fork and hammer and brought them together, causing a shock wave that send Ryoga back a foot or two.
-Jack (500) - Ryoga (0)-
"And that is it!" the infamous pompadoured announcer said from a balcony overlooking the field, "The King of Turbo Duels Jack Atlas has just defeated the Kaiser once again!"
Ryoga walked back over to Jack, not with a scowl, but surprising enough with a smile. "Ha ha! Looks like this makes the record 27 to 23! You're just lucky I didn't bring out my ace monster." He extended his hand to Jack, who even more surprisingly, had the same smile on his face.
"Luck is just as important as skill in a duel, so I'll take that as a compliment," the King replied, shaking the Kaiser's hand.
[Amazed, aren't you, viewers at home? Jack Atlas and Ryoga Hibiki, actually respecting another human being, let alone each other. Well you'll find out soon why that is. I guarantee this.]
"Ladies and gentlemen," the announcer cried, tears in his eyes, "I am moved by these two! A moment ago, they were fierce and fiery warriors, fighting one another. But now, the best of friends, and an inspiration to all! This is what the game is about, and these two are an example to follow! How about a round of applause?"
The crowd literally erupted with cheers and applause, as the two turned and gave a couple waves to their fans.
However, in the abandoned subway tunnel under Satellite, the last thing you would find is a cheering fan. The tunnel was as dark and endless as the gates to the underworld, and instilled just as strong a feeling of hopelessness. Trash and refuse covered the floors, and the only light source came from a small tent a short ways from the tracks.
Not much of a home, held up by rusted pipes and spare bolts, but in Satellite, you couldn't find that much else. At least the interior had a few luxuries; a bed, a couch, a small work table, a TV, and even a working computer on the table, among other spare pieces of metal and tools.
On the couch, Rally, Blitz, Tank, and Nervin were watching the duel between Jack and Ryoga on the TV, and seeing them both again left a bad taste in their mouths.
"Nice to see a couple of traitors getting along," Blitz commented, the duel now over and the King and Kaiser shaking hands.
"If anyone deserves to be the King and Kaiser," Nervin added, "it's Yusei and Ranma!"
"Speaking of which, how come they didn't watch the duel as well?" Blitz wondered. "Rally, do mind going out to see if they need anything?"
"No problem!" the little carrot-top replied, rushing out of the tent.
Yusei wasn't that far away and neither was Ranma. Yusei was working a bit on his bike, while Ranma was busy training with a make-shift punching bag.
"Yusei! Ranma!" Rally shouted as he ran towards the two. "You just missed Jack and Ryoga's duel!"
"Big deal," Ranma called back, not taking his focus off his target. "They duel like three times a week as a promotional stunt. We'll see another one in a few more days."
"And if I get my Duel Runner up and running soon, we'll get to see it in person," Yusei added, tightening a bolt on the motorcycle.
"That reminds me," Rally asked, glancing at the bike, "How much longer until you finish this thing?" Yusei wiped his brow with a spare cloth and stood up.
"It's just about finished," he replied. "The only problem left is the acceleration chip. The older ones just end up burning themselves out at 35 mph. Without the latest model, this thing's just an immobile scrap heap." Ranma finished his training and grabbed his water bottle off a broken turnstile.
"Then let's just find some unguarded Security bike and take one from there." He suggested, taking a sip.
"We can't do that, Ranma," Yusei responded sternly. "It's against the law."
"So what? They have literally a hundred other bikes and a thousand back-up chips. They won't miss just one little acceleration chip," Ranma argued. Ranma had good reason to want to take something from Security. He never forgave them after they arrested Kalin, and maybe then they would know how it felt to lose something important.
"That's not the point," Yusei returned, a bit of anger in his voice, "it's still wrong! We're not thieves or crooks, and we can't resort to stealing. You could never look your dad in the eye again if you stole!" Ranma felt heartbroken with that last one.
Ranma's dad always looked down on thieves and criminals, because he believed that anyone could work their way out of any problem. And Ranma respected him for this. (And before you ask, yes, it is Genma, but with a small personality tweak.)
"Alright," Ranma replied, nodding his head. Yusei smiled and walked over to Ranma, placing his hand on the martial artist's shoulder. "We'll get the chip another way, so don't worry." Ranma smiled. Rally, on the other hand, had more of a look of guilt.
"Yusei," he said, sticking his hand into his pocket. He pulled out a top of the line acceleration chip. Yusei and Ranma's eyes widened at this. The others were just as surprised and shocked. Apparently, Ranma wasn't the first to think of stealing Security property.
"Rally," Yusei started, until he was cut off by the sound of a siren.
"Securities!" Ranma realized, moving in front of Rally, Blitz, Tank, and Nervin defensively. Yusei's expression changed from shock to resolve as he dove towards the duel runner. He quickly hooked the chip up to the mainframe, hopped on, and started up the engine.
"They're after the chip," he said as he put on his helmet, "so I'll draw them away from here while Ranma takes you to a safe hiding place." The chip worked like a charm as Yusei peeled out of the subway tunnel and up the stairs to the surface.
The Securities had formed a small barricade outside the subway tunnel, and leading them was the infamous Officer Trudge. He smirked as a few troops were about the storm the tunnel. But before they could advance, Yusei's duel runner bursted out of the entrance, leaping over the barricade and driving off.
"Sir!" a grunt announced to Trudge, "that Duel Runner has the stolen chip in it! Should we pursue?"
Trudge growled as he looked off at the duel runner. "Of course we do! A small nest of bugs is nothing compared to their leader and a working duel runner!" He mounted his runner and was about to pursue, when he was interrupted by another officer. This one was slightly taller than even him.
"With all due respect, sir," the officer said, "I'll stay behind and deal with the rest, in case there's any thing else they stole."
"Fine, Boris, do what you want," Trudge answered, pulling his helmet back on. "The rest of you, follow me!" He and the rest of the troops then took off after Yusei.
"Heh heh heh," Boris chuckled. He removed his helmet, revealing the scar across his left cheek and his chestnut crewcut. "Let's see how these worms deal with my new, personally improved Pursuit Deck!" He slipped the deck into his disk and walked down the stairs.
Ranma pushed against a nearby wall, and it crumbled to reveal a small escape tunnel. He motioned the others to head on in first, but was stopped by a sudden shout.
"Freeze!" Boris yelled, activating his disc. Ranma stood between the gang and the officer, forming a defensive stance.
Boris chuckled at this, saying, "Now, now. No need for violence. Today's your lucky day, scum!"
Ranma lowered his guard and asked, "And why's that?" Boris raised his duel disc and sneered.
"I recently received a new model of Pursuit deck, specialized for handling standard duels. After a few personal tweaks, it's become unstoppable in my hands. All I need now is the field test, and that's where you come in."
During the monologue, Rally had rushed into their tent and grabbed Ranma's duel disk for him. It looked like a standard disc, but with a red paint job. Ranma put it on and slipped his own deck out of his belt and into the disc.
"So then, if I beat your deck," Ranma replied, "the five of us can go free?"
"Fine, but if I win, you come quietly and without a fight. Deal?"
Ranma nodded in response, activating his disc. Okay, old man. Time to see how your hard work paid off.
"Duel!"
-Duel Start!-
-Ranma: 8000- -Boris: 8000-
Ranma and Boris both drew 5 cards.
"I'll go first!" Boris announced, drawing a card. "I summon Chthonian Soldier in Attack mode!" In an orb of light, the demonic armor-clad warrior took the field (1200).
"I'll throw down two face-downs as well, and that's all." And two reversed cards appeared.
"My move," Ranma replied, drawing a card, "and a good one at that. I summon Speed Warrior!" Just like Soldier, the infamous roller blader of Yusei's deck appeared (900). "I'll attack with him, and thanks to his ability, his attack points double!"
Speed Warrior glowed with a blue aura as he charged at the Soldier (900 - 1800). One swift kick, and the wicked warrior shattered. Boris grunted as his LP fell.
"Now my monster's effect activates, and you take the same damage I did!" Ranma grunted as well as a red aura surrounded him and his points fell.
"I'll chain it with my trap card, Damage Condenser!" One of the cards flipped to reveal the trap. "I discard one card and then summon Sasuke Samurai #2!" He placed a card in the graveyard and a new monster appeared. This one looked like a yellow-headed samurai bobble-head. He held a katana as big as him (200).
"Fine, then I'll end with a face down," Ranma concluded, a reversed card appearing and Speed Warrior's points reverting to normal (1800 - 900).
-Ranma: 7400- -Boris: 7400-
Boris drew a card and sneered. "I activate the effect of The Undead Samurai in my graveyard. Since the only other monsters in there are Warriors, I can remove one from play to special summon him. Good thing I got rid of him for Damage Condenser. I remove Chthonian Soldier." He took the warrior out and pocketed it. "Now come forth my samurai!"
The monster that appeared looked more like a zombie than a warrior. It wore traditional samurai armor over tattered rags, and it's limbs were just bone. It wore a hideous, red oni mask and held two, rusted katanas (1400).
"Drat," thought Ranma, "only 100 points short of being destroyed by my Bottomless Trap Hole."
"Now I chain his effect with my face down, the continuous trap card, Kamikaze Slash!" His other reversed card flipped, depicting The Immortal Bushi charging at a group of tough looking bandits on a worn-out battle field. "But we'll get to it's effect later, because now I activate my Sasuke's ability, letting me pay 800 life points to keep either one of us from activating any more spells or traps."
Sasuke Samurai's eyes glowed as he slammed his sword on the ground, creating a shockwave. Ranma's face down lost all color, and his face as well.
"Now I summon Jutte Fighter in Attack mode!" Boris announced, and a new, somewhat cute monster took the field. It looked like a cartoonish version of a Feudal Japanese police man wearing glasses. On its back was a large, blue cylinder with a long line of rope wrapped around it, connecting with the jutte in its hand (700).
"A tuner monster?" Ranma exclaimed. This could only mean one thing.
"I tune my Jutte Fighter with my level 1 Sasuke Samurai and level 3 Undead Samurai!" Boris gloated as his monsters flew towards the ceiling and became six stars. "He who represents the justice of the Feudal world, leap through the halls of time to punish this era's evil! Come forth, Goyo Guardian!"
2 + 1 + 3 = 6
This creature looked more like a kabuki actor than a champion of justice, and it was armed with the same type of roped-jutte weapon Jutte Fighter used (2800). He smirked as he looked at Ranma. Ranma gasped upon realizing that Sasuke Samurai's effect kept him from getting rid of Goyo with his trap card.
"Now Goyo," Boris continued, "Attack Speed Warrior! Jutte Strike!" The kabuki monster swung its jutte overhead like a lasso before hurling it at Speed Warrior. The blader shattered into pixels, but the jutte kept going, striking Ranma in the gut. He gasped as the wind was knocked out of him and his life points plummeted.
"Ranma!" Rally and the others cried out. Ranma coughed a bit as he got back up and straighten himself out.
"Boris," he growled, coughing once or twice, "that card actually hurt me. What- *cough* what is it?" Boris chuckled as his eyes glowed a bit with a dark red aura.
"You saw right through me, Ranma. You see, Goyo Guardian isn't exactly a common card one would find in just any officer's deck. In fact, the only known deck that uses it right now is an experimental pursuit deck used by only the best officers in Security.
"Well, the only deck that uses an ordinary Goyo Guardian. This one has had a bad reputation for dealing out real damage when used in duels. It was sealed away so we couldn't be sued for police brutality. Until, of course, I just so happened to 'borrow' it without my superiors noticing."
So that's it, Ranma realized, he's using a duel spirit! Pops did warn me about how dangerous they can be in the wrong hands. So this is what he meant. Ranma rubbed his stomach where the jutte struck.
"It's quite the shame when even police officers resort to stealing," Ranma taunted, getting his wind back.
"Funny. Now, I believe it was still my turn," Boris sneered, "and now Goyo's effect is activated. I get to summon your Speed Warrior to my side of the field in defense mode!" Goyo hurled his jutte at Ranma once again, but this time it struck his disk's graveyard slot, and pulled Speed Warrior's card out and over to Boris. The so-called "law enforcer" played the card in defense mode, and Speed Warrior appeared, but with the jutte rope binding him (400).
"I play a card face down and end my turn," Boris continued, a face down appearing behind Goyo, "and now, the moment we've all been waiting for! I activate Kamikaze Slash's effect! During my End Phase, I can tribute a face-up Warrior-type monster I control to hit you with damage equal to half its original attack points! And since your warrior would make better ammo than a shield, I'll tribute it!"
Speed Warrior was then freed of its rope bonds as the trap card glowed. Speed Warrior let out a roar of pain as it glowed with the same light and shattered. Then a beam of white light shot out of the card at Ranma. He guarded as the beam struck him. Not as painful as Goyo's attack, but the beam still pushed him back a little.
-Ranma: 5050- -Boris: 6600-
Ranma drew a card, then smiled as he looked at it.
"All right, Boris," he said, grinning. "You wanna battle using duel spirits? Then you're about to see the wild side of my deck, and believe me, these guys give new meaning to the word 'wild'. I summon Beast-Fu Master Horse!"
The monster that appeared on Ranma's field was strange to say the least. It looked like an reversed centaur, with a horse head on top, and a man body on the bottom. It wore a blue martial arts gi with green trimming and a clawed paw-print symbol on the left side of the chest (1600). Boris just bursted out laughing.
"Wild is right!" he mocked as he laughed. "That thing looks like something out of a demented petting zoo! Not to mention it's no match for my Guardian!"
"It doesn't have to be," Ranma replied, "because his effect let's me skip his attack this turn to add another Beast-warrior to my hand." Horse took a defensive fighting position and glowed with a blue aura as Ranma took another card from his deck. "I play another card face down and end my turn."
"My move!" Boris roared as he drew a card. "And I activate The Undead Samurai's effect again! I remove Sasuke from play to re-summon him!" He pocketed the bobble-headed samurai as the zombie one crawled out of the ground (1400). "Now attack, my Guardian! Corral his pony with Jutte Strike!" Goyo swung his jutte over head once again before tossing it at the Beast-Fu Master.
"I activate my trap! Go, Beast-Fu Dojo Gate!" Ranma's face down lifted, and suddenly a large, wooden gate with the same clawed paw-print symbol, the sign of Beast-Fu, on it appeared. The gate opened, allowing Horse to move behind it before it closed again, and blocked the jutte.
"What the?" Boris yelled. Goyo looked just as confused as he pulled his weapon back.
"Once per turn, my gate gets to negate one attack aimed at a Beast-Fu Master on my field," Ranma explained, "and then I can add a Beast-Fu card from my deck to my hand. You just got to love specialty cards!" He pulled another card from his deck to his hand as the gate reopened to allow Horse passage back to the field.
"Grr, fine, I end my turn," Boris growled, "and now I can tribute my samurai to use Kamikaze's effect!" The samurai and trap glowed, and the samurai shattered, strangely without roaring like Speed Warrior did. Probably went through worse on the battlefield. The trap shot out another white beam, and Ranma grunted as it hit.
-Ranma: 4350- -Boris: 6600-
"This is bad," Blitz commented, "Every turn, he can re-summon that Night of the Living Dead reject, then damage Ranma with his trap card. There's no way to stop him!"
"Not necessarily," Nervin added. "He needs to remove warriors from his graveyard each time he summons that samurai. And right now, the only one left is Jutte Fighter. If Ranma can hold out for another turn, then he should be alright."
"My move!" Ranma yelled, drawing a card. He smirked upon seeing it. "I summon Exiled Forces!" In a burst of light, a small army of rag-tag warriors appeared (1000).
"Yes!" Rally cheered. "Now he can get rid of Goyo Guardian!"
"I tribute my Forces to destroy Goyo Guardian!" Ranma announced. His troops let out a battle cry and charged at the warrior. However, Goyo didn't look even the slightest bit afraid. In fact, he wore a wicked smirk, as though he knew what was going to happen. Boris wore the same smirk, because he had prepared for it.
"I activate a trap! Go, 'Protect the General!'!" His face down lifted, and out of it flew a transparent blob that covered Goyo like plastic wrap. The weapons of the Exiled Forces simply bounced off the membrane and back at them, shattering the troops.
The layer of blob then melted off the kabuki actor, and "Protect the General!" shattered. Boris laughed as he explained, "The effect of 'Protect the General!' saves a warrior monster from destruction for a small price I'm oh-so willing to pay: sending 3 warrior-type monsters from my deck to the graveyard." He then took two copies of Sasuke Samurai and one Goblin Attack Force and put them in the grave.
"Did I say one?" Nervin commented nervously. "I mean four turns."
"And if he has more cards like Kamikaze Slash," Tank added, "I don't think Ranma will last that long."
"I'll just use my Horse's effect and then play a face down." Ranma took another card and then set a card. "Turn end."
"My move," he said, drawing. "I re-summon The Undead Samurai!" He pocketed a Sasuke Samurai and the armored ghoul bursted out of the ground. "Since your trap will just stop my attack, I play a card face down and end my turn, and I tribute my samurai again." The samurai bursted again, and the beam of light struck Ranma.
-Ranma: 3650- -Boris: 6600-
Ranma drew his card, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but smile. "Alright, Boris, you're about to see the heart of my deck. First, I activate the spell card Lone Star Summons, which lets me bring out a "Synchron" tuner monster by lowering my Horse's level by 1 and attack points by 500." The spell card appeared, and Horse glowed with a white aura (LV 4 - 3; 1600 - 1100). "Now come forth, Martial Synchron!"
The tuner that appeared this time looked more akin to a miniature, armored martial artist, with red, fiery hair held by a green and yellow headband (1500).
"And before I synchro summon, I activate Horse's effect one last time," he took another card, "and I'll set a monster in defense mode." A reversed monster appeared.
"Now I tune together Horse and Martial Synchron to summon my ace!" Martial Synchron let out a battle cry and started punching the air as an aura of fire appeared behind it. Then he and Horse flew up towards the ceiling, becoming six stars.
"With a soul of fire and a thirst for battle, this champion who gives human form to the martial arts descends to claim victory! Clustering stars, combine to form this fiery hope! Come forth, Martial Warrior!"
The monster that appeared looked like a stretched out and muscular version of Martial Synchron. His outfit consisted of white martial artist pants and a black vest with a large collar, not to mention the arm and leg guards of his previous form. On his back were a pair of nunchakus, and he burned with the same fiery aura his tuner did (2400).
"Heh," Boris sneered, sweating a bit from the heat, "all that build up just for this guy? Goyo Guardian's still 400 points stronger."
"Then it's a good thing my warrior has his own effect," Ranma smirked. "On the turn Martial Warrior is Synchro Summoned, he gains 600 attack points," Martial Warrior let out a battle cry, and his flames grew to twice their size (2400 - 3000), "and let's not forget Martial Synchron's power as well, cause when he's sent to the graveyard as Synchro Material, the monster he helped summon gains 500 attack points and can inflict piercing Damage!" The ghostly form of Martial Synchron appeared behind Martial Warrior, and Warrior let out a roar of power as his flames grew so hot they turned blue (3000 - 3500).
"Th-th-that's 3500!" Boris paled, wiping his forehead with his sleeve. Martial Warriors flames were so hot, everyone other than Ranma had broken into a sweat. Even Goyo Guardian looked overheated!
"Now, Martial Warrior," Ranma declared, pointing at Goyo, "destroy Goyo Guardian! Fiery Spirit Crusher!" Martial Warrior drew his nunchakus and swung them as he flew towards Goyo Guardian. With one strike of his nunchakus, Goyo shattered into pieces. But Boris didn't look too upset.
"I activate Descending Lost Star," he announced, his face down flipping, and Goyo Guardian emerging out of it in defense mode (0), "now the synchro monster that got trashed comes back, but with no attack, no defense points, and no way of going back to attack mode."
"I end my turn," Ranma said. Martial Warrior's flames died down a bit and turned back to orange (3500 - 2900). He felt that something was wrong here. Boris drew a card as his turn began.
"First I remove Jutte Fighter to re-summon The Undead Samurai!" The familiar zombie warrior reappeared (1400). "And now I sent three monsters in my hand to my grave to Special Summon Montage Dragon!" Boris discarded 2 Goblin Attack Force cards and a Command Knight, and a large behemoth appeared in an orb of multi-colored light. It was a large, blue, bipedal, three-headed dragon, and each of its three faces wore the same white, expressionless mask (3600).
Ranma simply smirked as he activated his trap card. "You don't seem to have that great of a memory, Boris. Remember the trap I played at the start of the Duel?" Well here, let me remind you. Bottomless Trap Hole!" A large pit of multi-colored light appeared underneath Montage Dragon, and the beast plummeted back into the lights from whence it came. Boris pocketed the dragon, but he looked almost happy to see it go.
"I didn't forget," he sneered, "I just needed that card out of the way to summon my true strongest! I sacrifice my samurai to bring out the ace of my deck," the samurai disappeared into sparkles as a new monster took its place. This monster bore more resemblance to a fiend than a warrior, given its demonic, black armor and horned helmet. However, it was hard to tell for sure, since you couldn't see its face (1700). "Say hello to Nightmare Troop Commander!"
"If you threw away your dragon for him, he must have one heck of an effect," Ranma commented, eyeing the card suspiciously.
"And you'll find out why now, cause I activate his effect!" Boris gloated. "I can destroy one card on the field when he's summoned! Say good bye to your warrior this time!" The fiendish knight lifted its hand and a halberd materialized out of thin air in it. It hurled the spear towards Martial Warrior, but Ranma smiled confidently in response.
"Really now," he chided, "you think he would be my best card if he could be destroyed so easily? Now his second effect kicks in, letting me remove a warrior from play to stop your effect and destroy your monster!" Martial Warrior redrew his nunchakus and spun them around in front of him, creating a tornado. The spire of wind shattered the halberd and pressed on, scooping up his commander and hurled it at the ceiling, destroying it. Ranma then pocketed Speed Warrior.
"My monster has a second effect as well!" Boris growled. "When he bites the dust, I get to bring back a warrior in my grave! Go, Goblin Attack Force!" The small platoon of armed goblins appeared (2300). "I end my turn, and to make sure you don't get any ideas about piercing damage," he eyed Goyo evilly, making it shudder, "I tribute my Guardian for Kamikaze Slash!"
Ranma and Goyo were both shocked, then the trap glowed. Goyo glowed as well, and let out an ear piercing scream of pain. Before it shattered, it looked back at Boris with a hateful glare, who was mockingly waving good bye. The trap shot its beam, which, strangely, took the form of Goyo Guardian before impact. Ranma cried out in pain as the attack hit, and he fell to his knees. The others looked really concerned while Boris just laughed in triumph.
Ranma started to get back up, when he heard what sounded like someone saying "I'm sorry". He looked around and saw the ghostly form of Goyo Guardian, looking apologetic. Ranma punched the ground so hard it cracked, shocking everyone. He had had it with Boris, with Kamikaze Slash, with Boris' whole style of stepping on others and their graves to win. He stood back up and shot a glare at Boris, making the cop's blood freeze.
"You," Ranma said, his voice full of fury, "have no respect for your monsters, after all the sacrifices they make for you, after all the abuse they take from you, and after you're so quick to toss them as soon as they don't work for you as well as they should!
"For the sake of the rest of your monsters and for the honor of those slain, who quake in their graves in fear of that Samurai of yours, I will defeat you!"
-Ranma: 2250- -Boris: 5900-
Ranma drew his card, then flipped his face down monster face up. It looked similar to Horse in that it was an animal in a martial arts gi, but that's where similarities end. It was a large, bipedal turtle, with red scales and a green shell, with the kanji for turtle on the back of the shell (100).
"I activate my Beast-Fu Master Tortoise's effect!" Ranma roared. "Since he was flipped face up, I return him to my deck to destroy your goblins!" Tortoise nodded to Ranma in response before pulling itself back into its shell. The shell spun around with the speed of a buzz-saw and flew towards the troops, barreling through and scattering them like a bowling ball against pins. It then flew back towards Ranma, transformed back into card form, and returned to his deck.
"Now, I activate my face down, Skill Successor!" Ranma activated the last face down he had, and Martial Warriors points jumped up (2900 - 3300). "And now I activate the spell card, Vengeance of the Fallen!" A spell appeared, depicting the ghostly form of Nitro Warrior standing behind a Celtic Guardian. "By paying 1000 life points, I can select a monster in either graveyard, and add its attack strength to my Martial Warrior!" Ranma glowed red as his life points fell, but it was worth it. "Come take your revenge, Goyo Guardian!"
Once again, the ghostly form of Goyo appeared, its arms crossed and a glare aimed at Boris. He then vanished, and Martial Warrior glowed with power, its flames burning blue again (6100).
"Im-impossible!" Boris cried, falling on his behind and shielding himself with his duel disk.
"Now, feel the wrath of all the monsters and people you stepped on to get here today! Go, my warrior! Fiery Smash of Justice!" Martial Warrior drew his nunchakus for the last time, and swung them over head like Goyo. They caught fire from his flames, but that didn't damage them. He flew over to Boris and brought down the fiery hammer of justice upon the cop and his Life points.
-Ranma: 1250- -Boris: 0-
Boris collapsed as Ranma walked over to him. He grabbed the cop's duel disk, opened the Extra deck slot, and pulled out Goyo Guardian.
"A duel spirit can't hurt people if it's used by one who truly cares for his cards," Ranma said, placing the card in his ED slot, "so I'll take him instead. Besides, after today, I doubt it would even want to see you again, let alone serve you." Boris glared at Ranma before passing out.
"You did it!" Rally and the others cheered as they rushed towards Ranma. After congratulations, they all returned to their little nest in the ground to wait for Yusei.
Guess Pops was right about thieves, Ranma thought, and today's victory with his deck proved his point. I promise you, Pops, one day this deck you built through hard work alone will give me my freedom. I'll prove your philosophy to everyone I face, and bring honor to the Saotome name.
