"Now, I attack with my first Spirit!" It flew over to Plasma Stinger, about to strike. "No guard." No trigger was found. "Next up, Calek!" The reaper took his scythe off his back, and ran at Stinger. "...No guard." As Kaito drew his damage check, the card glowed. "Well, look at that, a draw trigger. Power to Stinger and I draw." Akira frowned. Thanks to the trigger, Stinger went up to 12000. Then, he remembered Relentless Spirit's ability. "I attack with my standing Spirit, and activate its skill!" He yelled, taking a card from his hand and putting it into the soul. "By soul charging from my hand, I can add 4000 power, putting it at 12000!" Kaito's eyes widened. "Alright, damage check." No trigger. Akira smirked as he ended his turn.

"Let's go, I ride Storm Seeker Dragon!" A bipedal dragon, red with teal markings all over it body, and a lance by its side, rose up. Silver horns jutted out from its head like a bull's. "When I ride this unit, by dropping two cards, I can superior call two Narukami units! So come on, Shieldblade Dragoon and Brightlance Dragoon (These are real cards, so no need to explain them)." Kaito, however, wasn't finished. "I call Wyvern Supply Unit and Stealth Fighter. Wyvern's skill gives power to my Vanguard, bringing him up to 11000 for the turn." Akira knew what was next. "Brightlance attacks your Vanguard." "No guard." Brightlance flew forward, and stabbed at Calek.

As the card flew to the damage zone, Akira caught a glimpse of it. "Reaper Berserker, Zelitorn. Critical trigger. All effects to Calek." Kaito groaned, but kept the pressure. "Stealth Fighter boosted a Narukami that hit, so he returns to my hand. Go, Storm Seeker Dragon!" It roared as it prepared its attack. "Nope! Still no guard!" "Drive Check." Kaito smirked. "Stand trigger. All effects to Brightlance." An electrified lance tip slashed across the young reaper. "Damage check." No trigger. "I'm not done. With a boost from Wyvern Supply, Shieldblade Dragoon attacks Calek. "Still no guard." No trigger on the damage check. "Brightlance, once more!" "No trigger." Kaito smirked. "Alright, your turn. Impress me, Akira."

"Stand and draw. Ride now, Advanced Reaper, Deladar!" He said, and the new vanguard took his place. He was taller than Calek, obviously older, and had a power of 8000. You could see black hair sticking out from under his hood. His golden eyes showed murderous intent. Again, you could not see his body because of his cloak, but his bare arms are showing. "Now, I activate his skill. By discarding a grade 3, I can search my deck for another. When he picked the card, Akira smiled. You've gotten me get past so many obstacles on my life. I hope you can help out here, as well. His expression got serious as he called two rear guards. "Both spirits move back, and I call Merciless Bloodhuntress, and Lonely Graverobber!" A female Vampire rose to Deladar's left, with a red trench coat and black skirt down to her knees. She flipped her white hair with her revolver, while she tapped on the sheath of her dagger.

Lonely Graverobber was an old man, wearing a brown cloak, and using a shovel as a walking stick."When I call Lonely Graverobber, I can bring a card from my drop zone back to my hand." Akira said, taking Skull Hound back. "Now, I attack with Bloodhuntress, boosted by Spirit!" With the added boost of Spirit, her power was 16000. "I don't guard." She shot her revolver, and the bullets penetrated the dragon's skin. No trigger was found. "I attack with Deladar, boosted by..." Akira facepalmed. He didn't put a card behind Deladar. Kaito laughed. "Still going to attack?" He mocked, but Akira nodded. "Checking the drive..." He hoped, and pulled the card.

It glowed a green. He started grinning like a madman. "Voodoo Sorceress, Lakata! Power to Deladar, and I recover one!" Deladar kept going, and sliced the chest of Seeker. Kaito growled. "Damage check..." No trigger. Damn, that makes five. When did he get so good? Kaito wondered in his head as the next attack came. "Go, Robber! Spirit, give your power!" He narrowed his eyes as he threw a card in the center. "I block with Lizard Minstrel, Kolotolo." A lizard an wearing a yellow jester outfit rolled in between the two units on a ball, and took the shovel to the face. "That's the end of my turn..." Akira said, displeased that he didn't finish it there.

Kaito smirked. "Stand and draw." He raised a card into the air. "Strike down from the clouds, and create the energy to destroy my enemies! Ride, Voltage Generator Dragon!" A giant bipedal dragon came down and landed on the mountaintop where the fight was commencing. It was black, with pulsating yellow lines glowing all over its body. It's wings weren't even natural. They were mechanical, attached to a giant generator. A sword connected to the same source was in its left hand. Golden horns came from its head, and branched out, like a trident, yet also crooked at the same time. "Now, I Limit Break!" A red vanguard circle appeared in front of the new dragon. "By counterblasting two, I can add 5000 power to all of my units. I think I'll do that twice!" His dragon roared once more as its power shot up to 20000.

"Oh, I'm not done. His ability activates! If Generator Dragon can get up to 20000 without boosting, he goes critical!" Sparks covered the sword as he gained an extra damage. "Here it is, Generator Dragon's Accelerator Discharge! Go, Shieldblade!" Akira flinched. "No guard..." No trigger. "Now, my vanguard!" Akira smirked. "Tombstone Warrior, Jurenz! The attack is nullified!" A giant appeared wearing stone armor and placed a huge tombstone in front of Generator. Skull Hound dropped again. "I don't use his ability this time." Kaito growled. "Twin drive." No triggers on either. "Now, Brightlance attacks, and I counterblast, giving him an extra 1000. "...No guard." Akira looked annoyed as a critical trigger fell into the damage zone.

(I'm giving up on the Cards in Hand thing)

Akira smiled as he drew. He raised his card into the air. "Born into calamity, harvester of souls. Come forth now, my Avatar, for you are death by name! Ride, Elite Reaper, Greylorn!" The new reaper was an adult, and carried a large black scythe. His black cloak hung by his neck, and you could clearly see his body and face. He had black armor with nothing on his arms. Instead, they were covered by grey bandages. His white hair blew in the cliff side wind, and his blood red eyes showed confidence. But these features were soon gone, as Akira's purple hair and eyes took their place. His eyes narrowed. "Calling, Cackle the Skeleton. But he won't be staying long, thanks to Greylorn's Limit Break!" A purple symbol appeared over Greylorn. "All of my rear units move to the soul, and Greylorn gets 2000 power for each." He smirked as his power grew to 20000. Kaito laughed. "What was the point of that? Now you have no rear guard."

Akira kept smirking. "That's what you think. I counterblast!" He flipped over all five cards. "For each card flipped, I can call one Dark Irregulars Unit from my deck." Kaito's eyes widened. "So, you can refill your entire formation?!" Akira nodded. "Call, Scream of Night, Minotaur Gladiator, Relentless Spirit, Voodo Sorceress Lakata, and Skull Hound!" Scream of Night is a giant bat human hybrid,(Think of Man-Bat from Batman) and Minotaur Gladiator is a large black Minotaur with some armor covering its chest and arms, and a huge battle axe. Kaito took a step back. "I'm not finished, yet. I Soul Blast!" Akira shouted as the cards flew into the drop zone. "For each card, my rear guards get 1000 power, and Greylorn goes critical!" Kaito gasped as Greylorn's damage went up to two, and looked at his hand. I can't block all of those attacks! He relaized as Akira started his assault. "Go, Minotaur, boosted by Skull! When he attacks and has more than 20000 power, you can only block with grade 0's. This also includes intercepts, thanks to Scream's skill. Exactly the same, except it applies to intercepts."

Kaito sighed. "No guard." The Minotaur yelled as it charged in, jumped and swung its battle axe at the dragon's face. "Damage check..." He said, and he was greeted by a faint green glow. He gasped. Akira groaned. "Really? Seiobo? I thought I had you..." Kaito smiled softly as he recovered one damage. Akira smirked, however. "Get ready, because here comes Greylorn!" He picked up his scythe, one handed, unlike the past two, and jumped straight up. "I nullify with..." He was cut off by Akira's laughter. "You can't. Minotaur's skill lasts until the end of the attack phase." Kaito growled and prepared for the worst. "Twin drive. First check." A blue glow greeted him. "Reaper blacksmith, Euperta! All effects to Minotaur and he stands. Second check." No trigger. Greylorn slashed downwards on the dragon, leaving a purple mark all the way from its face to its torso.

Kaito was shaking. "D-damage check..." The card dropped down.

No trigger. Akira threw his arms up in victory, while Kaito started slouching on the table. "How, how did I lose?" He asked himself, but Akira overheard him. "Man, that was close. I actually thought I was going to lose again. The only reason I'd say I won, was because you never played the Reaper Sub-Clan am I right?" Kaito looked up at the grinning boy in confusion. He's making excuses...about how he won? Kaito smiled, and stood up. "Akira Suzugamori, you are a strange one..." Akira laughed. "Yeah, I get that a lot."
