Turn one:Thans
Jazz:8000. +1SC(1SC) Hand: 5
Thans:8000. +1SC(1SC)Hand: 5
The road in front of us twisted and turned, pushing my driving skills to the limit. The city escaping behind us and a path leading into the sunset. Thans ignored the pre-calculated route and pushed forward on a different path, forcing me to follow. The exit gate for the city was only a few kilometers ahead, this one lead straight towards the eastern oceans.
"Where are you going? This is the wrong way!" Thans laughed and sped forward, I also sped forward in reply.
"Tell me, what road unifies multiple continents?" This man…he couldn't…
"You're insane! The All-Light road?" Thans, although his face is not visible, is probably smirking at this minute.
"Neo Domino City. There is your answer. You're wasting my time, Jazz. So let me silence you." Thans grabbed a card from his purple wrist dealer and proudly presented it with his right hand.
"Cast darkness upon this world! I activate the Field Spell; Speed-Track Dark Nightor City!" The card glowed a violent purple, I instinctively reacted by blocking the light with my arm, protecting my eyes.
"Ugh…" The light subsided and a black beam exploded from Thans duel runner. The city I love. The one I grew up in. Was now something ripped straight out of hell.
The mighty and towering sky-scrapers where now pillars of flesh, the windows now replaced with yellow blinking eyes. The skies where red with black clouds, occasionally dropping small bits of blood rain. The road ahead of us made a disgusting sound as we raced across it, like tough meat being beaten down with a hammer. Screams of torment and cries of sadness assaulted my ears. Thans turned his duel runner towards me.
"Jazz…do you see the beauty this world has? The absolute truth?" Thans stood up and spread his arms out, embracing this disgusting world.
"This will be your grave, and our new world!"
"Our new world?"
"That does not concern you. But this will! First off, I set one card face down." As he stated, an unknown card flashed in and out of existence next to his duel runner. This was quite odd, most duelists place their cards down during main phase two…
"Next, Dark Nightor city allows me to call a level 8 or lower "Nightor" monster from my hand! Come to me, Nightor Madia-Maiden!" A spirit emerged from the walls of a flesh tower and formed into a woman. She looked no older than thirty and was wearing a ripped black bride outfit. Her skin was purple and her eyes where green. Her slim face presented a constant face of anger. Thans then turned back and face towards the road.
Nightor Madia-Maiden
DARK
Level 5
1700/300
"I would say sorry. Jazz. But I prefer laughing at this moment! When Madia-Maiden is summoned, I can discard a dark tuner to deal 300 points of damage to you!" Thans swiftly discarded a tuner and thrust his hand towards me.
"Take your anger out, darling!" The crazy woman ran straight at me and slapped me across the face. I could smell her lack of showers…disgusting. The slap leaved a bright red bruise on my face. I softly touched the throbbing skin, a trickle of blood dripped down onto my black pants.
"Who are you? How are you dealing real damage?" Thans growled.
"What you did two years ago only opened the gates for something worse. You're screwed, Jazz! I place a card face down and end my turn!" Thans slowed down a bit, I could hear him laugh from a few meters away.
I don't know what those face-downs are, but I doubt it's anything too bad. This guy was minion-level power right now. I breathed in deeply and out slowly.
"All right, Thans! My turn!"
Turn Two:Jazz
Jazz:7700 1SC + 1 (2SC) Hand: 5
Thans:8000 1SC + 1(2SC) Hand: 1
I presented the card I drew towards Thans.
"I normal summon Great Astrel Ganila!" My trusty tuner burst into life. Her white wings spread out and blew off blue dust. Her, pure white dress fluttered in the wind. A butterfly hair-clip held together a snip bit of orange hair.
"When Ganila is summoned, I can special summon from my hand one level 3 or lower 'Astrel' monster from my hand into defense positon! Come on out. Squeaky the Astrel Mouse!" Ganila thrust out her hands and forwardly presented her palms. She spun the palms in a circular motion, creating two rings of light. These rings stacked in front of each other, and a small mouse exploded outwards. The cute creature squeaked upon arrival. It's white and gold fur glittered star dust.
"When squeaky is summoned; I gain 100 life points!" Squeaky scurried towards me and dropped a slice of cheese.
"Thanks bud!" I consumed the slice of cheese and scratched the mouse behind the ear. Squeaky happily scurried back to his normal position.
Jazz: 7700 - 7800
It's a good thing that squeak is level two. If he was level 3, he would've had his effects negated due to Ganila's effect.
"Rodent chefs? What is this, ratatouille?" Thans seemed to like ruining a semi-happy moment. Squeaky gave a sad sigh, but I replied with a thumbs up. A sad mouse is a bad mouse.
"I don't like that, Thans. So I suggest you back off! I tune the level two Squeaky with the level three Ganila!" Ganila spread her arms out like a bird, her body disintegrated into three gold synchro rings. The rings lined up to form a gateway to a higher plane. Squeaky happily entered the rings. Which caused him to turn into two level stars.
"Great light form a gateway to a higher plane! Sword of light that slices down the darkness, descend from the heavens as the protector of Earth!" A beam of light erupted within the synchro gate, growing larger and larger.
"Synchro Summon! Astrelic Gans-Fighter!"
With flowing blonde hair and elegant white wings, the Astrelic warrior sliced through the clouds as she descended from the Heavens. Her sword was made of the sky itself and her armor shimmered blue.
Astrelic Gans-Fighter
Level 5
2300/2000
Gans-Fighter can dish out intense damage, but little defense. Which is worth it, since all Thans has is that annoying lady.
"Gans-Fighter gains 300 attack points per 'Astrel' monster in my graveyard. I have two 'Astrel' monsters in my graveyard. Which means she has 2900 attack points now!" Gans-Fighter pointed her sword upwards, the blade glowed bright and shot a beam through the stars. In response, two beams of white light energized her sword. Gans-Fighter smurked in approval.
"Prepare for Judgement!" Gans-Fighter pointed her sword towards Thans. Who cackled in response.
Thans cocked his head up and whistled.
"She's hot, but does she have as much power in her sword as she does in her body?" I shivered at the creepy perverted comment from Thans. I really wanted to blast him to atoms.
"damn creep." I muttered. I grabbed an equip spell from my wrist dealer and held it forward.
"I equip the Holy Blade of Discipline to Astrelic Gans-Fighter!" Gans-Fighter threw her sword into the clouds, it exploded into atoms in response. Her now empty left hand called for a new blade and the stars replied. With a golden hilt and a ruby in the center, the night-sky-like bladed weapon descended swiftly into Gans-Fighters hands.
"Excellent." Gans-Fighter boomed.
"Battle. Gans-Fighter, lay waste upon Madia-Maden! Cosmic Slash!" Gans-Fighter charged her new sword with energy and burst towards Madia-Maden. Gans-Fighter swiftly cut through the opposing monster, cutting her like butter. Madia-Maden's bloody body smashed into thans and dispersed into black dust.
Thans: 8000 - 6900Thans struck his right hand out, eleven shards of light escaped his palm and entered his face-down card.
"That, was a bad idea Jazz." Thans growled. "I'll enjoy burying you."
"Humph. I'll see you try. I end my turn."
Thans glowed a deep purple as he accelerated forward towards the exit gate.
"MY TURN!" Thans furiously ripped a card out of his deck, making the draw phase a very violent phase for the poor cards.
Turn 3: Thans
Standby Phase
Jazz: 7800 +1SC(3SC) Hand: 4
Thans:6900 +1SC(3SC) Hand: 2
Thans roared. Furiously. As if thousands of blades shattered his skin and boiled his blood. His eyes – although not visible – probably casted a red glow. His body radiated a dark grey aura.
"I'LL END THIS QUICKLY!I ACTIVATE THE SPELL CARD, DANGEROUS DARK CALLING!" Thans smashed the card onto his purple duel disk.
"I CAN PAY 500 LIFE POINTS AND SPECIAL SUMMON ONE 'NIGHTOR' MONSTER INTO ATTACK POSITION! HOWEVER, IT'S ATTACK AND DEFENSE IS SET TO ZERO AND IT CANNOT ATTACK!" Thans forged a fist and struck it towards the sky. Dark shadows gathered above the fist and formed a card.
"I SPECIAL SUMMON, THE DARK TUNER NIGHTOR FIEND-FIRE!" Thans screamed as his body was shocked by the dark energy. He then flung his hand in an arc and called forth a strange creature.
A floating red flame with a face. It was wearing (yes, wearing) a purple and black dress.
"Dark-Tuner?" I asked. I assume it means DARK attribute. And not what I think it is...
"When fiend-fire is summoned, I take 100 points of damage. That's 600 total due to the added effect of dark calling…" Thans ignored my comment and coughed up blood, which turned into a viscous black fluid which entered his face-down card.
6900- 6300
"Thans, what are you doing?! You're going to get yourself ki-"
"SHUT UP! WHY WOULD YOU CARE JAZZ? I'M TAKING YOUR SORRY ASS DOWN" I growled. How could someone have so much hatred?
But then again, I am no exception…
"When Fiend-Fire is summoned, I am required to special summon a 'Nightor' monster from my graveyard. Its effect is negated though. But I don't care, revive! Madia-Maden!" Fiend fire spat out a fire-ball, which faded away into the all-too familiar bitch. I could smell the disgusting odor coming off her wretched body.
"That thing? What do you want with these?" Than smirked.
Thans turned his vehicle around and looked towards me. His face was pale white and covered with scratches.
"This will be the beginning for a new era, Jazz. You're going to die as the world re-awakens in a new age." Thans stood up, ignoring the dangers of the speed and wind. He was 6 feet tall. And his body was covered in strange, ancient markings that referred to darkness and shadows. Said markings glowed faintly.
"Witness an unholy creation! I Dark-Tune the level 5 Madia-Maden with Fiend-Fire!" Fiend-Fire turned into 10 dark level stars that penetrated Madia-Maden's skin and transformed her into 5 stars. Madia's lifeless corpse now gave birth to a dark beam surrounded by a ring of spheres.
"Death, breath into the corpse of the forgotten and revive yourself as a blade. Cut through light and cast a shadow upon this blinding world!" The markings on Thans glowed bright.
"DARK SYNCHRO SUMMON! ROYAL NECRO-NIGHTOR: KNIGHT REVENEOR!" Wait, did I hear that correctly? I gasped and my eyes winded at the sight of those dark synchro rings…
"Dark Synchro? Thans, who and what are you?! What are you doing? Oblivus is dead. You can't do anything!" Thans cackled at my comment. He leaped back down into his duel runner and looked towards the patiently-waiting synchro gate.
"We are all dead!"
The dark synchro gateway exploded. Out came a skeleton in a red suit of armor wielding a black blade. The pitch-black skeleton had armor outlined in gold and empty eye sockets that glowed dark red.
Royal Necro-Nightor: Knight Reveneor
Negative Level 5
DARK
2500/2000
"I take 100 points of damage due to his summoning." Reveneors eye sockets glowed brighter and shot down a beam at Thans, who hurled out a puddle of blood as his body was assaulted.
At this rate, he'll die. And I'm not sadistic enough to let that happen.
6300 6200
"Thans. Forfeit now. You won't die if you do." Thans ignored my command. Scoffing at the sincere request.
"Shut up." A black shard appeared from Thans' heart and entered his face-down from turn one. I have a bad feeling about that card. I need to destroy it…
"Do you understand?" Thans voice lowered down to a softer tone. Stiffing a growl, he turned his duel runner to me.
"You're a pawn. Useless. A Toy. And yet you keep fighting back the reality of this situation." Thans leaned forward closer towards me.
"You're insane. Are you going to kill yourself just for this?" Thans smiled and threw his hand out. His eyes gleamed like bloody rubies freshly cut and cleaned.
"Insanity and clarity are too very similar things, Jazz. And I want to show you the clarity! Killing one person isn't enough to awaken you, so I'll kill more." Thans cackled and cleared his throat. I can feel anger swell up inside me, ready to explode and cause destruction larger than a nuclear bomb.
"I'll bury you! I ACTIVATE A TRAP! NIGHTOR SOUL-OFFERING JAR!" Thans signaled towards the face-down he placed in turn one, the card swung up and revealed itself. From it came out a jar, purple and black marked with red and sickly green hieroglyphs of an unearthly language. The jar shot a beam that penetrated the blood sky and struck the red moon. The moon – as if retaliating in anger – struck back towards Reveneor.
"For every one hundred points of damage, Soul-offering jar gains 1 revenge counter. Regardless of whether or not t it was face-down or what turn it was placed." As Thans spouted out his speech with a smug undertone, Reveneor grew taller and stronger, his arms strengthened and his body pullsed with energy. As if thousands of steroids were injected into his body and powered him up. His sword lit like a candle and the flames licked the side of buildings, I could hear screams.
Real. Human. screams. Real people are dying!
"THANS?! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!" Thans laughed.
"Far too long we slumbered and far too long we waited. Now listen Jazz, for every counter this card has, its equipped target gains 120 attack points! This jar has 18 fragments of revenge…that's 2160 attack points!"
Reveneor: 2500 - 4660
Reveneor howled like a dog, it's voice boomed so loud that a nearby tower exploded. My mark of light throbbed and illuminated. Without it, I would be deaf by now. But that didn't matter, buildings where crumbling, I could hear screams of terrified citizens coming from all four corners of the city.
I needed to get out.
"Follow me if you want to kill me so badly, Thans!" I accelrated my duel runner to a dangerous speed, warning lights flashed across the screen and auto-safety kicked in.
"Auto safety activating." My duel runner alerted. I growled.
"OVER-RIDE!" the safety message disappeared and the boosters on my duel runner shot me forward.
"Over-Ride complete. Please stay safe." Sometimes I wish I didn't install that program.
"Are you scared Jazz? Or are you sad? Do you see the beauty? The screams? The torment?"
"I'm not sadistic." Thans laughed and stood up, he proudly embraced the carnage.
"beautiful! You should know that taste and satisfaction of murder. After all, you should know very well how it's like to have blood on your hands!" My mind flashed back to that moment…
I'm not that person. I'll never be that person again.
"A thousand hours I suffered for that. A billion more I will. But don't think I'll join your stupidity. I'm not a saint. But I can at least be human." Thans glared at me with a more serious look.
"Let's see how long you'll stick to that! Death brings out the desperation in humans. At your core, your animals. Driven by millennia of evolution and animalistic instincts to survive…You aren't worthy of-"
"Just shut the hell up and duel!" I was sick of his speech. I was absolutely sick of it.
"Impatient as always, Light King! I summon Nightor Machine-Mayer!" Thans used his one normal summon to call forth the standard robot. It looked like the mars rover launched way back in 2012, but with lasers attached to its sides. Pretty cliché in terms of looks.
"when this gun is summoned, I can equip it to a 'Nightor' monster and give it attack points equal to the machine!" The robot transformed into a long metal cylinder, hot flames exploded from said cylinder and attacked the clouds. The newly formed barrel equipped to the side of Reveneors sword.
"Mayer had 1000 attack points. Which means Reveneor gains 1000 too!"
Reveneor: 4660 - 5660
"No…way…" Fear struck me as I saw the size of Reveneor, his finger could crush my head into dust. His hand could uproot and entire skyscraper and fling it like a dart. Blood rolled out from the empty eye sockets of that unholy monstrosity, poisoning the lake underneath the bridge we were crossing.
twenty miles till I can leave. We'll be on to ocean towards Japan in a few hours. Right now, we were at the country side. And I really wish we were not. First people, then this.
I could see animals fleeing the scene, those foolish enough to stay where literally crushed by the magnitude of Reveneors power. Their newly-made corpses floated into the air and straight into Reveneors mouth.
"Devour all living things!" Reveneor happily complied, devouring deer, sheep and cows. Each unsuspecting animal becoming prey to this evil. I closed my eyes and looked away as a pack of wolf pups where turned into food. If it wasn't for my mark, I would probably be dead by now.
This was all utterly disgusting.
"Become food to the knight! BATTLE! Reveneor, slay the very soldier of the heavens! DE-WING THE ANGELS!" Reveneor cackled and flew straight towards Gans-Fighter. His sword disappeared from his left hand as he wrapped his right hand around the poor defenseless angel. Reveneor swiftly grabbed Gans-Fighters right wing and ripped it off. He then proceeded to do the same to the other one.
"FINISH HER!" Reveneor complied. He threw Gans-Fighter right into the skies and quickly summoned his blade. He did a swift cut across her, causing her to bleed and explode into dust. Reveneors blade charged with energy that formed a ghostly image of Gans-Fighter. Thans cackled and declared my doom.
"You can have her back!" Thans shouted. Reveneor swung his blade towards me, a wave of energy echoed his swing and struck me. Blood poured out from my mouth and my heart beat skyrocketed. Adrenaline surged through my body and my vision blurred.
I can't let this happen. Not now, not here.
I cannot die here. But I fear the worst…
"…why…"Is all I mustered.
