Chapter 2: Shock the Sky
Godai was awake early the next morning, checking through his card deck to be sure everything was there. After he rechecked to see if Lightning Dragon was there once more, he said farewell to his GrandFather, then left to reduel Murry. Godai was the first one at the meeting spot.
When Murry arrived, he approached Godai and said,
"Look, beating you is fun, but it's not getting me anywhere, so-"
"This'll be the last time we duel, I'm staking everything on the line in this duel!" Godai cut in, shocking Murry. Godai was grinning like normal as he readied his duel disk for the battle. Murry shook his head, smiled, and put up his disk as well.
"I'll let you make the first move," Murry told Godai. Godai accepted and drew the top card of his deck. He then played the monster card Blizzard Dragon (Atk: 1800) and placed 2 cards face down on the field, to end his turn. A whitish grey Dragon formed from the ground, standing in front of Godai. Murry shook his head as he drew his card. He then placed a monster in face down def position, and ended his turn. Godai found that weird, he never placed anything in the spell/trap card zones? Why? But Godai never pondered it for long as he drew his card. Godai activated the face down card on his left, it was a spell card Reload.
"I'll use this, to shuffle the cards in my hand, with my deck, and draw the same amount!" Godai explained, as the card vanished and he drew 3 more cards. 'Perfect!' he thought as he saw his hand. He had gotten the right cards, almost like there was some sort of divine intervention. Godai then placed another card face down in the spell/trap card zone and ended his turn. Murry took his turn, and flip summoned his monster, Gravekeepers Spy (Atk: 1200/Def: 2000), then summoned his second monster, GraveKeepers Curse (Atk:800/Def:800) The gravekeepers Curse's effect activated, inflicting 500 points of damage to Godai. Godai (Life: 3500) flinched at the loss of life, but wiped it off. None of Murry's monsters could get past his Dragon (Atk:1800). Murry then played the spell card double summon, and tributed both of his monsters to summon up Behemoth the King of All Animals (Atk: 2700). An enormous purple, horned beast formed in front of Murry, dwarfing everything else on the field. Godai stood panicked. Murry then attacked with his beast. The Behemoth attacked the Blizzard Dragon, and Godai activated his trap card, Compulsory Evacuation Device. The trap sprung, sending Murry's card back to his hand and de-summoning his monster, thus ending the atk. Godai tried to catch his breath, did he just do something awesome? He then heard cheering and looked over, and to his left, stood his best friend (and greatest crush) Sara Misaki. He was stunned, she had never come to his duels with Murry, because she could 'predict' the result and didn't want to watch.
"Yeah, you can win Godai!" she cheered. She had long pink hair and green eyes, and was wearing her school uniform. Godai was distracted for a bit, but then found his focus again. It was time to show off! Murry ended his turn with nothing on his field, and Godai drew his card. He then summoned up Flare resonator, a tuner monster. A small, fiendish creature formed, holding a yellow tuning fork. Murry was surprised, Godai only had one synchro monster, and it was a level 6, not 7 (Blizzard dragon: Lv4+ Flare Resonatore: Lv3=Lv 7) . Godai then spoke:
"Now I'll tune Flare Resonator with Blizzard Dragon, to synchro summon the most powerful card in this game! The Lightning Dragon!" he exclaimed proudly as he held his card high in the air. A lightning bolt streaked across the sky, landing before Godai and forming into a Dragon made of electricity. The hairs on Godai's arms stood up and he had to back up to not get burned by the heat. The Lightning Dragon (Atk: 2500) moved and left slight afterimages, and growled at Murry. Murry was shocked, maybe even slightly afraid at the sight. Sara was amazed, and slightly scared of Godai's newest monster. Where could he possibly have found a card like that? Not in any card pack, she was sure of it.
Godai's grin nearly covered his whole face as he watched in awe of his monster. Maybe Princess wasn't a fraud after all? Godai then said:
"Now attack, my Lightning Dragon!" Godai exclaimed, this would be the first time that he actually hurt Murry's life points. The Dragon howled and charged, flying right through Murry and electrocuting him. Murry (Life points: 1500) sent out a scream as every part of his body tingled. The Dragon then returned to Godai's side. Murry then wiggled his way to his wobbly feet, determined to break Godai's best monster. He then took his turn, and played the monster Anarchist Monk Ranshin (Atk: 1800) and gave it the spell card Ax of Despair to increase his monk's attack to 2800. The darkly dressed, old monk's staff changed into a crooked ax. He then attacked the Lightning Dragon with his monster. The two fought, and the Anarchist Monk was electrocuted, but in the end won the battle. Lightnig Dragon's effect activated (If this card battles a monster, that monster loses 1000 atk at the end of the damage calculation. If the atk reaches 0 by this effect, that monster is destroyed.) And the Monk's atk was droped back down to 1800. Godai then activated Lightning Dragon's second effect. By paying 500 life points, it is special summoned to his side on his next turn. Godai's life dropped to 3000 as he was slightly shocked by lightning. Murry cursed as he ended his turn. Godai drew his card and the Lightning Dragon returned to the field. Godai then attacked, destroying his monk, spell card, and dealing 700 points of shocking damage to Murry. Murry (Life: 800) was pushed back slightly. Godai then placed a card face down to end his turn. Murry took his turn and put a monster in def, then put his trap, dimensional prison face down to end his turn. Godai drew, and played the spell Mystical Space Typhoon, using it's effect to destroy Murry's trap card. He then played the monster Dash warrior. A red machine like warrior formed, with wheels for feet. Godai then went for the attack. Lightning Dragon smashed his face down def card, and dash warrior defeated Murry, knocking him onto the ground.
"Yeah!" Godai screamed, jumping into the air as the monsters vanished. Sara ran up to him,
"That was amazing!" she congratulated him. He smiled a wide smile and scratched the back of his head. His first win. And it felt great! Murry stood up, dazed by his loss. Godai was never that good. Never. So what changed in one night? Little did Murry know, everything had changed. Godai and Sara walked off, and Sara asked Godai about his newest card. Godai began to speak, but was caught. Part of him wanted to say, but the other worried she wouldn't believe him. So he said he bought it in a card pack. Sara then clubbed him hard on the head, knocking him onto the ground.
"Liar!" she yelled at him. Godai moaned a bit as he looked up at her angry green eyes. He then laughed a slight breath, and rolled onto his back.
"I got it from a Goddess," he confessed, and was clubbed again...
