Episode Two
Hunters Hungry Vampires Part I
Alex's insides were bubbling with anticipation; this would be his first duel of the World Championship 2015. If Alex lost this duel he would be out of the tournament, as he would lose four Dueling Points (The amount of Dueling Points Hunter has), and Alex only had three. But Alex had to win, for the beautiful girl being held down by Hunter's buddies. She had stopped squirming to watch the duel, and her captors covered her mouth, but her eyes read "Help me!"!
Alex went first, and picked up a sixth card, he quickly analyzed his hand. "Ok, I'm gonna kick things off with the card Lava Dragon Egg (0/0)!" A smoking, bright red egg appeared on the field in a flash of red light.
Hunter snickered manically, "That's your great first move, huh? Wow kid, and you wonder why I look down upon level three's, they have cards like that in their deck."
Alex chuckled, "Yeah ok Hunter, we'll see, but you know every dragon has to grow up some day… But that's a story for another turn, for now I'm going to activate Great Dragon Wings. This magic card can be equipped two one Dragon-type monster on the field with less then one thousand defense points and in defense position. Great Dragon Wings negates all attacks targeting the selected monster, so my Lava Dragon Egg is saved from attack during your turn!"
Hunter chuckled, "So what, alive or dead your egg poses no threat to me, I will be the winner of this duel."
Alex laughed, "Can we say egotistical maniac? We'll see Hunter, I end," Alex was left with four cards in his hand.
Hunter swiftly drew the top card in his deck, and he laughed. "Wow, could this get any better? I activate the trap card Vampire's Graveyard!" Suddenly the sun-lit forest became shrouded in a dark fog, and the fresh green grass that sprouted from the forest floor shuddered and turned black.
The ground shook steadily and five gravestones popped out of the ground in a line in front of Hunter.
Hunter chuckled, "And after that, I'm going to activate the card Vampire Martyr!" The big trap card appeared on the field, it depicted a black figure flying still in the dark night sky, ready to attack.
"Vampire Martyr allows me to sacrifice one Vampire-type monster from my hand to the graveyard, then, half of the attack of the sacrificed monster will be deducted from your life points."
Hunter flashed Alex the card Vampire Lord (2000/1500), and swiftly placed it in his graveyard.
Suddenly Vampire Lord came soaring towards Alex. Its mouth was wide open, its sharp fangs filed down to the perfect tip, like Hunter's teeth.
Vampire Lord bit right into Alex's arm, and Alex let out a horrible blood-piercing scream as a horrible pain ripped through his arm. Sharp bite marks were visible in Alex's arm as he screamed from the pain, but luckily within a few seconds the pain had stopped and the marks had disappeared. But Alex slumped to the ground, weakened by the virtual pain.
While his life points shot down to 7000 (Alex: 7000 Hunter: 8000). Hunter smiled, "Wow Alex it was just a little bite, is that all you can handle?"
Alex chose to make no comment back…this time. But suddenly Vampire Lord appeared again. The tall pale figure with blue hair wearing a dark purple velvet suit with a pair of purple, leathery wings at his side appeared on top of one of the gravestones.
"This is the real beauty of my move. Vampire Graveyard returns all Vampire-type monsters to the field that were sent directly from my hand to my graveyard, such as Vampire Lord." Vampire Lord screeched happily and Alex shuddered, thinking of the sensational pain he had felt moments before.
"And since this was considered a Special Summon, I'm going to Normal Summon Vampire Lady (1550/1550)." A purple haze materialized next to Vampire Lord, and out of that stepped Vampire Lady. She was a tall, ghostly woman with long purple hair and a purple dress that loosely draped her tiny body. She cackled malevolently and showed off her viscous teeth.
"Looks like you got the whole family home for the holidays Hunter, but it matters not seeing as how Giant Dragon Wings is still in play."
"Yes, it would have been nice if I could have attacked this turn but none the less, I am quite satisfied with my move and so I end." Alex saw the satisfaction in Hunters eyes and in the way he smiled. Then Alex caught a different look in the captured girl's eyes, a look of worry.
Alex shook it off, this was just the first turn, and he was only losing by one thousand points.
Alex drew, giving him five cards while Hunter had two in his hand. Alex didn't examine his hand as he made his move. "I'm going to invoke the effect of Lava Dragon Egg. During the Main Phase of the second turn it is on the field I can send it to the graveyard and Special Summon one Kid Lava Dragon (1500/1300) to the field from my hand or deck."
Lava Dragon Egg began to glow a fiery red and a large crack split the egg open down the middle. Suddenly the egg shattered into pieces and a dragon appeared on the field. The dragon wasn't very big, but wasn't very small. It was nice, it was red but a dark, burnt red. It had sharp red eyes and strong wings.
Hunter laughed, "Nice kid dragon Alex, I hope you realize that pip-squeak has nothing on my vampires."
Alex looked confident as he spoke, "We shall see Hunter. I'm also going to summon Kid Ice Dragon (1600/1400)." A dragon, of almost the exact same size as Kid Ice Dragon, except with crystal blue skin and soft whit eyes appeared on the field.
"You're not the only one that can do a double-summon Hunter. And now I'm going to activate the special ability of Kid Lava Dragon. I have to select one card type, and then I have to randomly select one card from my opponent's hand. If I get it right, my Kid Lava Dragon's attack is boosted for this turn only by five hundred points. If I get it wrong then all cards in my hand of the card type I guess get sent to the grave."
Hunter nodded, "And since I have only two cards in my hand, there's a better chance of you losing then succeeding."
Alex nodded, "True, except Kid Lava Dragon and I have never lost when using this effect…never… I choose a Monster type card, and…" Hunter spread apart the two cards in his hand and Alex pointed to the one on Hunter's left.
Hunter's eyes slowly analyzed the card…and he winced. "Ah! You got it right!"
Alex jumped up in the air, "Oh yeah!" And Lava Kid Dragons attack rose up to 2000 instantly! Lava Kid Dragon cried out in excitement, and suddenly so did Ice Kid Dragon.
"Oh, and did I forget to mention Ice Kid Dragon's special ability? It's called Adaptive Warmth; whenever a monster on the field gets an attack bonus, Ice Kid Dragon gets the same bonus for the remainder of the turn." Ice Kid Dragon's attack shot up to 2100 and both dragons beamed happily.
Hunter snarled, "No, how can two kid dragons be stronger then my vampires!?"
Alex laughed, "You're vampires ain't all that Hunter…now Ice Kid Dragon attack Vampire Lord!"
Ice Kid Dragon began to beat its wings furiously and it rose into the air. It flew forward and dived towards Vampire Lord, who cringed back as Ice Kid Dragon unleashed a ferocious fury of ice straight at its target. Vampire Lord was enveloped in the ice and immediately destroyed, reducing Hunter to 7900 life points (Alex: 7000 Hunter: 7900).
"Yeah, great job Ice Kid Dragon. Now Lava Kid Dragon, Lava Stream attack on Vampire Lady!"
Lava Kid Dragon burst forward like Ice Kid Dragon did; only Lava Kid Dragon shot forward a long river of Lava at Vampire Lady!"
Vampire Lady took a step back and screamed in horror as the molten lava consumed her.
Alex laughed satisfactorily and Hunter growled angrily, his life points dropping to 7450 (Alex: 7000 Hunter: 7450).
Alex laughed, "And I am quite satisfied with my move." Alex ended his move with four cards in his hand and Ice Kid Dragon's attack reduced to 1600.
Hunter didn't look at Alex as he drew, he now had three cards in his hand and he studied them angrily.
Suddenly his lips formed a crooked smile and he activated the trap card Call of the Haunted.
Alex growled angrily as Vampire Lord returned once again to the field. "But this time Vampire Lord is badder then before, because I'm going to activate Enhanced Endoplasm, increasing his attack by five hundred points (2500/1500)."
Alex grew angry; Hunter now had the upper hand just when Alex was getting firm control. But Alex suddenly realized the bright side as Ice Kid Dragon began to glow.
"My Ice Kid Dragon's effect comes into play, he gains five hundred attack points as well (Ice Kid Dragon: 2100/1400)."
Hunter didn't care about Kid Ice Dragon, Vampire Lord was still stronger. Hunter quickly analyzed the field and chose a monster for elimination.
"Now Vampire Lord destroy Lava Kid Dragon!" Vampire Lord hissed satisfactorily and launched across the field. Lava Kid Dragon flew into the air and faced Vampire Lord, whom didn't let up and bit right into Lava Kid Dragon, destroying it.
Alex shuddered as his life points dropped down to 6500 (Alex: 6500 Hunter: 7450) and Hunter laughed. "Very nice job my Vampire Lord, not only did you destroy Alex's monster but now your effect activates. So Alex, I'm going to make you destroy one monster card in your deck."
Alex flipped through his deck and sent Lava Dragon Egg to the graveyard hesitantly. "I will now end my turn," Hunter announced just with one card in his hand.
It was Alex's move, he drew, giving him five cards in his hand, and when he saw what he drew his face lit up. "Oh yeah man, this is awesome! I activate the magic card Ice Stone Upgrade!"
The green magic card materialized in front of Alex, it depicted a glowing, clear blue stone, floating upward through black space. "This card can be activated when Ice Kid Dragon is out on the field. This card gives me the ability to sacrifice my Ice Kid Dragon in order to Special Summon one Ice Dragon from my hand or deck!"
Ice Kid Dragon beamed brightly as a whirl of crystal blue light consumed it. The light shone up towards the dark sky of the graveyard, and soon after a massive blue form came shooting towards the ground.
Ice Dragon (2400/1700) was a massive blue form. It was large, with great big wings and strong legs. Its snout was narrow and icicles hung from its chin like a crystal beard.
Ice Kid Dragon landed on the ground with a thud it let out a wisp of cool air from its snout.
Hunter shrugged, "Although your dragon is bigger then my Vampire Lord, it has one hundred less attack points. Your Ice Dragon poses no threat to me or my Vampires.
"Oh really Hunter, did I forget to mention my Ice Dragon's special ability. It gains 200 attack points for every attack position monster on the field and 200 defense points for every defense monster on the field. Now there are two attack position monsters, Vampire Lord and Ice Dragon, so Ice Dragon's attack shoots up to three thousand!"
Hunter stared away from the great beast that was about to take down Vampire Lord.
"Oh, and I'm also going to summon Storm Dragon Egg in defense mode (0/0)." A small yellow egg with brown spots all over it appeared on the field next to Ice Dragon.
"And now that there is a monster in defense position, my Ice Dragon gains two hundred defense points (3000/1900). Now Ice Dragon attack Vampire Lord!"
Hunter growled but that didn't stop Ice Dragon from leaping forward and crushing Vampire Lord like it was pillow, began squished until it burst open, the feathers flying everywhere.
Hunters life points decreased to 6950 (Alex: 6500 Hunter: 6950).
Hunters face grew red, "You think you're so sly eh kid? Well trust me, you ain't seen nothing yet. You're in for some butt whooping as soon as I get the cards I need to end this thing, which shouldn't take too long at all."
"Yeah ok Hunter, keep talking, I end my turn," Hunter smiled; he had three cards in his hand.
Hunter drew, giving him a grand total of two cards in his hand. "I activate Pot of Greed," Hunter drew two cards and smiled. "Just setting this card in defense position will do for this turn."
Alex smiled, "If that's good enough for you its good enough for me." Alex drew, giving him four cards in his hand.
"This is going to be great; first I'm going to activate the marvelous effect of Storm Dragon Egg, allowing me to Special Summon Storm Kid Dragon (1700/1000)."
The small egg burst open in a rapid explosion and a dragon emerged onto the field. It was mainly a dark yellow, with dark green spots covering its body. It had sharp teeth and a strong pair of wings.
"And now," Alex began. "I'm going to sacrifice Storm Kid Dragon to summon Storm Dragon (2300/1900)!" But Alex was just getting started…
