Here we are, the second chapter for Demons: The Darkness Within. Hope you all enjoy it, because Crowler and Haou are going to clash. Also, Haou likes to play with his opponents, because he's a little twisted like that. Anyway, PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
Chapter 2: The Supreme King of Games Part 2
Haou sat in the back corner of the plane by himself. His Brother had been placed in the second plane and he was glad about it. He was sorting through his cards, thinking up different strategies and tactics.
'When our rematch finally comes little brother,' thought Haou. 'I'm going to show you the true meaning of hell.'
"Was it really necessary to go all bad-ass on your brother?" asked Yubel as she appeared beside the Supreme King.
Haou rolled his eyes in response. 'You know as much as I do that we have a score to settle. After our last duel ended in a draw, it is inevitable that we fight once again.'
"You really are stubborn aren't you?" scoffed Yubel as she crossed her arms. "But I still think you should go easy on him."
Haou retorts, 'I thought you were supposed to be on my side?'
"I am," answered Yubel as she hit Jaden on the end, causing him to cringe. "But that doesn't mean I can't like your brother."
'Oh come on,' bragged Haou as he rubbed his head where the spirit had hit him. 'He's already got his own spirit. What does he need you for?'
Yubel shook her head. "You're in need of a serious attitude adjustment."
'Really?' Haou chuckled. 'That was what my last tutor said, and where did that get him?'
"In the garbage shoot ," sighed Yubel.
'Exactly my point,' thought Haou.
'I really worry about you sometimes Haou,' thought Yubel to herself. 'I can feel your Supreme King powers rising everyday and I don't know if its for the better or worse. I just hope one day you truly can control your powers.'
As the planes landed on the island, the students were given their PDA's and their duel blazers, which also assigned them their dorms.
Haou waited impatiently as the students slowly made their way off the plane and were given their respective blazers.
'Why worry with the Slifers and Ras?' thought Haou. 'They should be worried about getting the Obelisk's first.'
When it was finally Haou's turn he was shocked when he was given a yellow jacket.
"Excuse me," said Haou. "But I've been given the wrong blazer."
The teacher handing them out looked at his laptop and checked. "Nope. You've been assigned to the Ra Yellow Dorm."
"No I'm not," warned Haou.
"Yes you are," answered the Teacher.
"No," growled Haou. "I'm the greatest duelist this school has ever seen. That's why I'm in Obelisk."
"Sorry," replied the Teacher. "But only students with connections can get straight into Obelisk."
Haou frowned and his eyes glowed gold. "Tell me how I can convince someone to bump me up to Obelisk."
The Teacher stepped back as he felt queasy. "Doctor Crowler was the one who graded you. "You should ask him."
Haou turned and walked away towards the Obelisk Blue Dormitory.
"Wait!" called out the Teacher as he held up Haou's Ra blazer. "You need this!"
"No I don't!" retorted Haou. "I won't be wearing a blazer unless it's blue!"
Crowler sat in his small office, angrily going over his and Jaden's duel over and over again.
'That pesky slacker,' thought Crowler. 'How could I have let him trounce me like that? I was at the top of my game yet he beat me! I must find a way to get my revenge and soon!'
Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.
Crowler sighed. 'What now.'
Crowler growled before saying, "Come in."
The door opened to reveal Haou Yuki who didn't look too happy to be there.
"Ah yes Haou Yuki," said Crowler as he pretended to be happy to seem him. "What can I do for you?"
"There was a mix up with the dorm I'm in," explained Haou.
"Oh did they put you in Slifer?" asked Crowler.
"No," replied Haou. "They put me in Ra."
"But that was the dorm you were supposed to be in," said Crowler.
"No," growled Haou. "I should be in Obelisk Blue. I allowed my Proctor to reduce my life to 100 just so I could trounce him with a one-turn kill. How is that not good enough to get me into Obelisk."
"Because you can only get into that dormitory via connections," argued Crowler.
"Then how do I get in there today!" spat Haou.
"You can't," responded Crowler who was losing his temper.
"Then how about I prove myself in a duel," suggested Haou.
Crowler smirked. 'That's it. I'll defeat Haou and regain everyone's respect.'
"Deal," chuckled Crowler. "Come today at the end of classes at the main duel stadium. You will be dueling against me."
Haou laughed, angering Crowler. "What's so funny?"
"My little brother beat you," explained Haou. "What makes you think you can beat me?"
Crowler growled, enraged. "Excuse me!"
Haou just smirked before leaving the room. "I'll be there to whip your but. So don't be late."
As Haou left, Crowler stood up and slammed the door closed. "That's it! I can't stand that Slacker or his brother! No matter, I'll crush him tomorrow and regain my honor!"
The students packed into the stadium, as the special duel was about to begin.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" announced Crowler, as he stood on the duel stage with his duel disk ready. "Today we have a special duel! One student shall duel me, the great and powerful Doctor Crowler, to win the right to enter Obelisk Blue!"
As this point in time, Haou entered with his duel disk attached to his arm. He still wore the same clothes he wore when he arrived at the academy. He refused to wear the Ra blazer.
"Prepare to lose Crowler!" declared Haou as he activated his disk.
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" answered Crowler as he activated his disk. In the stands, Jaden and Syrus were watching. Jaden couldn't help but feel sorry for Crowler, he knew Haou wouldn't play nice.
The two players drew their hands and began.
"Duel!"
Haou Yuki 4000 VS Dr. Crowler 4000
Turn 1: Crowler
"I shall begin!" declared Crowler. "Draw!" Crowler held his hand near his deck and a card leapt out into it. He then added it to his hand and smirked. "Prepare for the beating of your life!"
"Oh please." Haou rolled his eyes.
"Now then!" continued Crowler, ignoring Haou. "I activate the field spell! Ancient Gear Warzone!"
Crowler threw his hand into the air as the scenery around them changed to a barren battlefield filled with broken swords and the remains of machines and armour.
"Nice place," snorted Haou. "Do you live here?"
Crowler growled in return while Yubel appeared next to Haou and chuckled.
"Anyway," resumed Crowler. "This field spell increases the attack of all Ancient Gear monsters by 500 points! In addition, every time we summon an Ancient Gear monster we get to place a counter on Warzone! What these counters do I will explain later!"
"Going to surprise me?" Haou shook his head. "How predictable."
Crowler just gritted his teeth in reply. "Now I summon Ancient Gear Knight in attack mode! And Warzone increases his strength!"
Ancient Gear Knight: Attack 1800-2300
A mechanical knight wielding a lance appeared.
"I set one card and end my turn!" concluded Crowler. "And before I forget, Warzone gains a counter because I summoned an Ancient Gear monster!"
Ancient Gear Warzone: Counters 0-1
Turn 2: Haou
"Don't flatter yourself," spat Haou. "I draw!" Haou snatched the top card of his deck and added it to his hand. He smirked devilishly before choosing a card.
"Are you going to make a move or not!" barked Crowler.
Haou looked up at the professor and death starred him.
"How dare he treat you like this," hissed Yubel to Haou. "He will pay."
"Calm," answered Haou. "I want to toy with him for a bit first."
"If you wish," replied Yubel.
"I summon Elemental HERO Sparkman in defense mode!" cried Haou as he slapped the card onto his disk.
Elemental HERO Sparkman: Defense 1400
A blue and yellow armoured man appeared.
"I set two cards and end my turn!" concluded Haou.
Turn 3: Crowler
"Back to me!" declared Crowler as he drew. "I tribute my Knight to advance summon Ancient Gear Beast!"
Ancient Gear Beast: Attack 2000
A mechanical wolf appeared and howled.
"Next I activate the continuous spell!" spat Crowler. "Ancient Gear Pierce! When an Ancient Gear monster destroys a defense monster, you still take damage! Not only that, but the field spell also increases Beast's attack and gains a counter!"
Ancient Gear Beast: Attack 2000-2500
Ancient Gear Warzone: Counters 1-2
"Now strike down his monster!" commanded Crowler as the mechanical wolf charged towards Haou's monster and shattered it.
"How do you like that?" chuckled Crowler as Haou took damage.
Haou: 4000-2900
Haou ignored the professor. "I use my face down Hero Signal to send Avian to my field in defense mode."
The card slipped out of Haou's deck and he grabbed it before slapping it onto his disk.
Elemental HERO Avian: Defense 1000
A green feather-man appeared in a defensive stance.
"I set one card and end my turn!" concluded Crowler.
Turn 4: Haou
"I go," said Haou calmly as he drew. "I'll start with Dark Fusion, allowing me to fuse Avian with Burstinatrix in my hand!"
Crowler gulped as the two heroes appeared on the field before fusing together and creating a dark portal.
"Evil HERO who sleeps with the dead!" chanted Haou. "Open up the gates that guard all of hell! Wake from your slumber and cast your spell! Come to me! Evil HERO Inferno Wing!"
Evil HERO Inferno Wing: Attack 2100
A woman in red wearing a visor with dark blue wings appeared in a burst of flames from the dark portal and screeched.
Crowler cringed in fear at the monster before regaining his posture. "That overgrown bird doesn't scare me!"
Haou smirked. "That's about to change."
"And why's that?" demanded Crowler. "Your monster has less attack points then mine! How could you beat it?"
"With this," replied Haou as he slipped a card into his disk. "The equip spell HERO Blade. Now, one of my face up HERO monsters gains 200 attack for every HERO in my grave! Or 200 defense if it's in defense mode. I have three HERO's in the grave, and I think I'll give their power to Inferno Wing!"
Evil HERO Inferno Wing: Attack 2100-2700
The spirit of Haou's three fallen heroes appeared behind Inferno Wing and entered a sword the monster took hold off.
Haou pointed at Ancient Gear Beast. "Inferno Wing, attack with Inferno Blast!"
Inferno Wing covered herself in flames before flying into the air and diving towards the mechanical wolf.
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" interrupted Crowler. "Trap card! Ancient Gear Spirit Shield! Now, by banishing an Ancient Gear Monster in my grave, I can negate this attack!"
The spirit of Ancient Gear Knight appeared and took the attack for Beast.
"That trap is continuous," explained Yubel. "And he only has to pay 500 life points each turn to keep it on the field."
'Okay then,' thought Haou with a smile. 'Then I know the perfect way to win this duel.'
"I end with a face down!" declared Haou. "Bring it!"
Turn 5: Crowler
"My turn once again!" cried Crowler as he drew. "First I play 500 life points to keep my trap card on the field!"
Crowler: 4000-3500
"Now I play the spell Gift of the Living!" declared Crowler. "I mill the top ten cards of my deck! That puts five Ancient Gear monsters in my grave in the process!"
"Now he can use his trap to protect himself," explained Yubel.
"And I gain 100 life points due to Gift of the Living's effect!" exclaimed Crowler as magic dust fell onto him.
Crowler: 3500-4500
"Next I summon Ancient Gear Soldier!"
Ancient Gear Soldier: Attack 1300
A mechanical soldier made of gears wielding a gun appeared.
Ancient Gear Soldier: Attack 1300-1800
Ancient Gear Warzone: Counters 2-3
"So what?" scoffed Haou. "Your monster's don't scare me. And they can't fight off Inferno Wing."
Crowler smirked. "Not unless I use Warzone's effect! By removing one counter I can increase Beast's attack by 500 until the end phase!"
"What?"
Ancient Gear Beast: Attack 2500-3000
Ancient Gear Warzone: Counters 3-2
"Strike them down!" ordered Crowler as his Beast charged towards Inferno Wing.
"I don't think so!" interrupted Haou. "I have a trap…"
"Not so fast!" retorted Crowler. "When Beast attacks, you can't activate any spell or traps until the end of the damage step!"
Haou tried not to smirk. 'I know you idiot. I'm no amateur. I'm just playing along so I can crush you right at the end and prove myself.'
The card Haou was attempting to activate sparked with electricity, preventing it from activating.
"Say bye, bye to your monster!" laughed Crowler as Inferno Wing was destroyed.
Haou: 2900-2600
"Now that the damage step is over I'm using my face down Damage Draw to negate the rest of the damage I take this turn to zero and allowing me to draw a card!" Haou drew his card and examined it.
"So you guessed my other monster had a similar ability," smirked Crowler. "Well done. I guess I'll end my turn then."
Ancient Gear Beast: Attack 3000-2500
Turn 6: Haou
"I draw!" cried Haou as he drew.
"What are you planning to do?" questioned Yubel.
'I can see where this is going,' thought Haou in reply. 'He's going to use his trap to protect himself while using this field spell to gain counters. Then he'll bring out his ace and use all of the counters to power it up to full strength.'
"And what are you going to do about it exactly?" asked Yubel curious.
'I'm going to let him do it,' thought Haou. 'And then take him down all at once.'
Crowler tapped his duel disk impatiently. "Today would be nice."
Haou diverted his attention back to the Professor. "Piss off!"
Crowler felt a queasy feeling and backed off while the crowd gasped that Haou was talking to a teacher like that.
Crowler regained his senses and angrily cried, "Excuse me! I'm your professor and I demand respect!"
"Oh please," Haou scoffed. "The only thing you need is a good whopping. Then maybe you'll get some respect as a bad duelist."
Crowler growled angrily. "Just make your move so I can beat you."
Haou ignored him. "I play Card of Demise! I draw until I have five cards! Now I set a monster and two cards!"
Turn 7: Crowler
"Prepare to lose!" taunted Crowler as he drew. "First I play 500 life points to sustain my trap!"
Crowler: 4500-4000
"I activate my trap," interrupted Haou. "Synchronized Pain! This doubles the damage from that trap!"
Crowler cringed as a dark aura surrounded him and reduced his life by 500 points.
Crowler: 4000-3500
Crowler shook it off. "No matter! I still have more life points then you! Ancient Gear Beast attacks his face down monster!"
The beast charged and Haou's monster flipped up to reveal a man composed of wood and grass before it shattered.
Elemental HERO Woodsman: Defense 2000
Haou: 2600-2100
"Now Ancient Gear Soldier attack Haou directly!" exclaimed Crowler as the Soldier took aim and fired at Haou.
Haou: 2100-0300
"I could have ended this duel," chuckled Crowler. "All I had to do was use a counter, but where would have been the fun in that?"
Haou smirked. "With the damage step over I can now activate my trap! Court Judgment! I now regain in life points equal to half of the damage I just took!"
Haou: 0300-1200
"And the other half is inflicted to you as damage!" finished Haou.
Crowler: 3500-2600
"I end my turn," growled Crowler.
Turn 8: Haou
"Draw," said Haou calmly. "I discard a card like my Elemental HERO Ocean to activate Dark Penalties! I gain 500 life points while you lose that!"
Haou: 1200-1800
Crowler: 2600-2100
"Next I use Dark Calling!" roared Haou. "I fuse Woodsman and Ocean in my grave to summon!"
The crowd watched as another dark portal opened up and the green and blue spirits flew into it.
"Evil HERO who resides deep within the Earth!" chanted Haou. "Now is your time, and now is your birth! Rise up and destroy all that is worth! Come to me! Evil HERO Wicked Core!"
Evil HERO Wicked Core: Attack 2500
A warrior clad in black armour and composed of magma and rocks appeared from the portal. Attached to the HERO's chest was a red/yellow core.
"The Evil version of Terra Firma," gasped Crowler.
"That's right," answered Haou. "Now I summon Elemental HERO Stratos!"
Elemental HERO Stratos: Attack 1800
A blue and silver armoured HERO with wings appeared.
"Using his effect I add Clayman to my hand," explained Haou.
'Fool,' thought Crowler. 'Had he used its effect to destroy either the field spell or my shield trap he could have had a chance.'
'I know what you're thinking professor,' thought Haou. 'And that means you'll never expect my counterattack.'
"I use Wicked Core's effect!" exclaimed Haou. "I tribute Stratos to increase his attack by Stratos' until the end of the turn and allowing him to attack twice as well!"
Evil HERO Wicked Core: Attack 2500-4300
Two swords composed of magma shot out of Core's black gauntlets.
"Now attack the Soldier with Wicked Impact!" ordered Haou as his HERO launched forward to strike.
"I banish another Solider in my grave to negate the attack!" interrupted Crowler as Core's attack was blocked.
"Then I attack again!" laughed Haou as Core once more struck.
"Then I use my trap to banish the Ancient Gear and negate the attack!" explained Crowler once more as the attack was canceled yet again.
"I end my turn," chuckled Haou.
Evil HERO Wicked Core: Attack 4300-2500
Turn 9: Crowler
"For this turn," explained Crowler as he drew. "I'll let my trap destroy itself! But now I tribute my two monsters to summon Ancient Gear Golem!"
Ancient Gear Golem: Attack 3000
A giant gladiator golem composed of gears appeared.
Ancient Gear Golem: Attack 3000-3500
Ancient Gear Warzone: Counters 2-3
"Next I play the spell Counter Future!" declared Crowler. "This doubles the amount of counters on Warzone!"
Ancient Gear Warzone: Counters 3-6
The crowd gasped when they realized what Crowler was doing. "I remove all six counters to increase Golem's attack by 3000!"
Ancient Gear Golem: Attack 3500-6500
Ancient Gear Warzone: Counters 6-0
"Time to end this!" laughed Crowler. "Golem attack with Mechanized Melee!"
The Golem swung its mighty fist towards the wide-open Wicked Core and the crowd waited for the end to come.
"I activate my trap!" interrupted Haou as the face down that had been there for the entirety of the duel flipped up.
"But my Golem's effect stops you from activating it!" explained Crowler.
"This trap's activation cannot be prevented if it's been face down for more then two turns!" answered Haou. "Like it has been."
Crowler growled in response.
"You see with this trap!" explained Haou. "This attack is negated, the battle phase ends and both of our life points are halved!"
Golem's attack was blocked by a barrier and dark aura surrounded the two duelists.
'That means he could have survived at any stage during the duel with that trap,' thought Crowler.
Haou: 1800-0900
Crowler: 2100-1050
"I activate Card of Sanctity!" declared Crowler. "We draw until we have six cards!"
The duelists' drew their cards.
"Now I use Fissure to destroy the weakest monster on your field!" spat Crowler. "Wicked Core!"
Haou's Evil HERO exploded.
"Now I set a card and end my turn!" concluded Crowler.
Ancient Gear Golem: Attack 6500-3500
'My face down is Magic Cylinder,' thought Crowler. 'You try anything and bomb! You lose.'
Turn 10: Haou
"My move!" cried Haou. "I play Heavy Storm to destroy all spell and traps on the field!"
A furious windstorm rushed over the field and blasted away all the spell and traps.
Ancient Gear Golem: Attack 3500-3000
'No!' panicked Crowler. 'My trap!'
"Now I use the Warrior Returning Alive to add Sparkman from my grave to my hand!" continued Haou.
"Oh no," muttered Crowler in fear.
"I play Dark Fusion!" roared Haou. "I fuse Sparkman with Clayman!"
The stadium trembled as a yellow and brown spirit rushed together to create another black portal.
"Evil HERO who rests in the sky!" chanted Haou. "Cast your thunder and unleash your cry! Descend to our plane and destroy your foes! Come to me! Evil HERO Lightning Golem!"
A blue, purple and yellow armoured giant descended from the portal with lighting flowing from him. As he rose, he let out a screech that sounded like thunder.
Evil HERO Lightning Golem: Attack 2400
"And due to his effect!" laughed Haou. "Your monster is destroyed! Voltic Assault!"
Lightning Golem roared as lightning poured down and blasted away the Golem.
"No," winced Crowler.
"Didn't I tell you I had skills!" declared Haou. "I even let you do all your fancy moves and stuff! But all good things must come to an end! Lighting Golem attack with Voltic Storm!"
Lighting Golem conjured a ball of lighting before throwing it at Crowler, causing him to go flying back into the process.
Crowler: 1050-0000
Winner: Haou
The crowd was in awe, as Crowler lay injured on the ground from Haou's attack.
Haou smirked as he walked away. "Looks like class is dismissed."
That was when an angry Jaden leapt down from the stands and shouted at his brother. "You have to stop this Haou!"
Haou stopped walking. "Why?"
"Because it's wrong!" retorted Jaden. "You can't be doing this to people!"
"I don't have to listen to you!" snorted Haou.
Jaden slipped on his duel disk. "Then we'll settle this with a duel!"
"You're to eager to lose," scoffed Haou as he turned to face his younger sibling as his eyes glowed golden. "I'm much stronger now then I was before. So stay out of my way!"
Jaden glanced over to where he knew Yubel was floating. Besides Haou, Jaden was the only person who could see her. Yubel gave him an apologetic look before vanishing.
With that, Haou began to exit the arena.
"When we finally duel," declared Jaden. "I will beat you! I will crush you! You hear me Haou! You're going down!"
Haou smirked as he left the arena. 'I look forward to it.'
There's that chapter, and once again we see a lot of Haou and Jaden's bad relationship. They really, really don't like each other. And that's a point I'm tying to get through really. Yes, I made an Evil version of Elemental HERO Terra Firma because I felt like it! Haou will be using Evil versions of all the Elemental HERO fusion monsters. Anyway, the next chapter will have Haou getting into a scuffle with Chazz and having them face off. Chazz already doesn't like the Yuki's because he's already dueled Jaden. Also, Haou's got a bad personality like Yubel said, and that's what's going to get him into numerous conflicts.
Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW!
