"Let's see how your knight handles the power of Erupting Lizard! Attack his Knightech Juggernaut! Magma Tail!" The giant lizard's tail erupted in flames as it swung at the knight. Juggernaut held up its shields and withstood the blow. "Huh!? Why isn't it exploding!? Lizard has more attack points!" (Erupting Lizard: 4500 Atk) (Juggernaut: 4000 Def)
"Because that's Juggernaut's ability! As long as he's in defense mode, he CAN'T be destroyed by battle!" Hiro smirked
"Grr. Fine. Then i'll play this face down card" Meruto says. (Hand: 0) Meruto chuckles and thinks 'Good job Hiro! You're going a lot better'
"Draw!" Hiro draws (Hand: 4) "I summon Knightech Ace Archer!" The monster is a tall woman with long blonde hair. She wears a green bandana around her mouth, and lightweight chainmail armor. Her bow is very futuristic, having electricity sparking from it. (Knightech Ace Archer [Warrior/Cross: Left Monster/Light Attribute] Lv 4. Atk: 1700/Def: 800) "Her ability allows me to deal 500 points of damage to you for every Knightech monster on the field!"
"What!? That's 1500 Damage!" Meruto was shocked
"That's right!" Hiro smirks "Go! Knightly Arrow!" Ace Archer draws her bow, the arrow beginning to glow with power before being fired. Meruto smirks
"Not so fast! I activate my trap card: Pressure Air! If I am about to take damage of any kind, and I have at least on Flaming Forest monster in the grave, I can banish it and launch the damage back at you!" Ash Hawk flies up and bursts into air, knocking the arrow back at Hiro.
"GHA!" Hiro yelled as the arrow struck him (Hiro LP: 2500)
"And that's not all!" Meruto yells "Time to load the bullet and pull the trigger! Cross Ability!" Erupting Lizard's eyes glow
'When your opponent is dealt effect damage...'
'Increase attack points by 1000'
"His cross ability! When you get dealt effect damage, I can increase his attack points!" Meruto smirks. The lizard sticks its tongue out, as its two parts form around it. Suddenly, its attack grows (Erupting Lizard: 5500 Atk Points)
"Yeah well...i'm still not afraid! Remember, Knightech Juggernaut can't be destroyed, no matter HOW strong your monster is!" Hiro said smiling. "I end my turn!" (Hand: 3) This causes his classmates to sigh.
"Idiot..."
"He really doesn't see?"
"Well he did better then usual at least"
"..what? I don't..." Hiro looks confused, before taking another look at his field "OH CRAP, ACE ARCHER!"
"Yep! Draw!" Meruto yells (Hand: 1) "You forgot about your little archer! FLAMING FOREST: ERUPTING LIZARD! DESTROY KNIGHTECH ACE ARCHER! VOLCANIC WRATH!" The lizard shoots a large burst of magma at the archer, who gets incinerated. The magma continues to fly and nails Hiro
"GHA!" He yells, flying backwards (Hiro LP: 0)
Duel Concluded. Winner: Meruto Noroshi
"Like anyone expected anything different"
"That makes 30 losses in a row"
"Lame"
"Let's go"
The students began to leave as Hiro picked his head up. Meruto gave him a hand and helped him up. "Dude. What happened? It's not like you to make such a rookie mistake like that"
"Yeah. Guess I wasn't feeling it today" Hiro rubbed the back of his head chuckling and sticking his tongue out. Sai rolled her eyes
'Oh Hiro' She thinks before giggling. Hiro smiled
"Hey! Let's head to my place! Maybe my dad can help all of us update our decks. Plus, I want to tell him how close I got!" Hiro says, beeming from ear to ear.
"Sounds like a plan. Let's go" Meruto nods as the 3 head out. Unaware of the events taking place, or the horror they would witness upon arrival.
The house was in a quite neighborhood. Everyone practically knew each other, and it was hard to not make friends. It was even harder to miss the residence of the Yushata family. It was a large house, nicely painted and seemingly well taken care off. Perhaps it was this reason why, what was happening within its walls, was so surprising.
Gale panted, his life points low (Gale LP: 1000) on his field he has a giant knight. On the opposite end is his foe, who is a tall, slender figure only seemingly wearing a pitch black cloak and hood.
"I activate the effect of Hellion: Steam Snake from the grave. I can banish it to increase a monster on my field's attack points by it's attack points: which was 1000. I choose Hellion: Android Dragon" A monster rises, resembling a dark snake with a smoking tail. It puffs into smoke and floats around the other monster, which was a giant dragon with black scales and a robotic spine running down his neck, back and tail. Attached to it are robotic wings, on top was a steam generator. Its eyes were a menacing red. (Hellion: Android Dragon Atk: 5600) "Go forth and end this. Dark Steam Burst of Destruction!" The dragon's engine began to come to life, emitting large amounts of steam as the dragon shot a large, concentrated blast from it's mouth at the knight, completely destroying it
"Gh..GHAAA!" Gale screams as he is sent flying (Gale LP: 0) His foe shakes his head.
Duel Concluded: Winner ?
"And here I thought you would have been a challenge Gale." He says. (? LP: 4000) "Such a shame" Just as he says that, the door swings open and Hiro gasps
"Dad!" He screams.
"Mr. Yushata!" Sai and Meruto yell as well.
"Who are you!?" Hiro points at the hooded man
"Ah. You must be his boy. Hiro if I remember" The man chuckles
"Wha..." Hiro was shocked. How does this complete stranger know his name? "Hey I asked you a question! Who are you!?" The man chuckles even more
"My name? It is not of any importance. I will be taking my leave"
"Like hell you will! Leave my dad alone!" Hiro ran and tried to punch the stranger, who responded by simply backhanding the child into the wall. Sai gasped and ran to his side as Meruto growled angrely
"Hey! What's the big idea!?" He shouted
"Temper temper." The man said. "Farewell...boy" He says before vanishing
"Wait you son of a bitch!" Meruto tried to tackle him, but he was gone. Along with Gale. Hiro panted and held his side
"Who...was that?"
"His name is Zander" A voice spoke, startling the kids who look around for its source. "Do not bother looking for me, as I am not there. That man is Zander, and he has a plot for your father Hiro"
"What!?"
"You have the power to stop him. I know for a fact you do" The voice continues "But, it shall not be an easy road. You must have faith, only then can you awaken your true might and save him."
"Well if it means I can save him...i'll have as much faith as I need!" Once he says this, 3 cards appear before his eyes. "These are..."
"Your father's cards. His ace and 2 Cross Components"
(Knightech Matter Rook [Warrior/Cross: Left Monster/Dark Attribute] Lv 4. Atk: 1500/Def: 500)
(Knightech Mind Sorcerer [Warrior/Cross: Right Monster/Light Attrubute] Lv 4. Atk: 500/Def: 1500)
(Knightech Royal Guard [Warrior/Cross Monster/Light Attribute] Lv 6. Atk: 2700/Def: 2000) (Components: Knightech Matter Rook and Knightech Mind Sorcerer)
"Go forth now Hiro Yushata. Find a man named Satoshi. He will be able to aid you further."
"Thank you...whoever you are" Hiro says. The voice goes silent. Meruto and Sai stare at each other, then at Hiro who runs to his room. They follow him, seeing him packing clothes into a backpack.
"Hiro...we can't let you do this..." Sai says
"I have too!" Hiro yells "You heard the random voice!"
"If it wasn't for the fact we heard it too, I would have called you crazy but that's not what we mean" Meruto says. "We mean we can't let you go save him alone"
"We're coming with you" Sai smiles. Hiro was surprised by this but smiles
"Thanks guys..." He says as he hugs his friends
"We should go tomorrow. So we can get a good night sleep" Meruto says
"Agreed" Hiro nods. His friends head out the door.
"See ya tommorow" Meruto says
"Yeah...see ya" Hiro says as he continues packing
