Hey Guys, I've thought it over and, well… here's the second Duel House story.
It was your average afternoon at the Loud house. The boy of the house, Lincoln was sitting on the couch playing Mortal Kombat with his girlfriend Ronnie Anne. A month had passed since Lincoln had dueled Ronnie Anne's father and gained his approval to date his daughter, and the two couldn't have been happier together. When they started playing they made a deal. Loser had to do whatever the winner wanted.
"FINISH HIM!" the voice from the game commanded. All that could be heard was the sound of a loud, bloodcurdling scream of pain. The voice declared the name of the character that won.
"Well, I guess you win that one, Lincoln" Ronnie Anne said, putting her controller to the side. "So, what do you want me to do?" She asked, folding her arms.
"How about we make out?" Lincoln suggested with a raised eyebrow while sporting a sly smirk. Ronnie Anne held back the urge to giggle.
"Alright, if that's what you want. Come here, you" Ronnie Anne said.
Ronnie Anne placed her hands on her boyfriend's cheeks and pulled him in for a kiss on the lips. Lincoln leaned back and lied down so his girlfriend was on top of him as they began to make out. Sure, they were blushing, but they were blushing with enjoyment. It was nice.
"Hey Lincoln, can you help me with my…" Lana cut herself off midsentence upon walking in on her brother and his girlfriend during their make-out session. "Uhh… am I interrupting something?" she asked, nervously rubbing the back of her head.
"Yes" Ronnie Anne quickly replied.
"What do you want, Lana?" Lincoln asked, a little annoyed that he and Ronnie were being interrupted.
"Well, I was going to ask you to help me with my deck. But now I kinda want to know something" Lana smiled.
"What?" the couple asked simultaneously.
"Well, since you guys have been a couple for a while I just wanted to know one thing. How did you two first meet?" She asked.
The young couple looked at each other, and then to Lana. They shrugged as they sat back up on the couch. Lincoln patted the couch for Lana to sit between him and Ronnie Anne. Lana hopped on the couch between the two pre-teens.
"It's about time we told someone this story" Ronnie Anne said.
"I hope you're ready to hear this because this story involves the one thing the three of us have in common. Dueling" Lincoln began.
Six months ago…
Lincoln: As you know, before Ronnie Anne and I started dating, she used to be my bully. Even before we officially knew each I had heard rumors that she was the toughest girl in school…
It was a nice Friday at Royal Woods Elementary. It was recess time and Lincoln was hanging out with his best friend Clyde as they each went through their collection of cards.
"Wow, Lincoln, you've got some pretty good cards" Clyde commented.
"Thanks, so do you. You seem to have a lot of Red-Eyes cards" Lincoln noted.
"Yeah, I'm thinking about making a Red-Eyes deck" he replied.
Unknown to them though, they were being watched. A black haired girl with dark skin and freckles wearing a purple hoodie was standing by a tree, looking at them with a raised eyebrow. Her name was Ronnie Anne and she was more specifically looking at Lincoln.
"So the boy with white hair is Lincoln Loud, huh? Is he as good they say he is? I wonder…" the girl gave him a glare. She began walking up to him with her hands in her pockets.
"Hey, you!" the two friends heard a voice. They turned their heads to see a girl walking up to them.
"Uh, are you talking to me?" Lincoln pointed to himself with an eyebrow raised.
"Yeah. I heard around the school that you're supposed to be some kind of great duelist. Is that true?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"I guess. I mean, I consider myself a pretty decent duelist" Lincoln rubbed the back of his head.
"Well, I don't think so. If anything, you're a chump" she said harshly. Lincoln gave her a hard glare. "So how about it? You and I have ourselves a little duel" she suggested.
"I might be up for it this weekend" Lincoln replied with a light smirk and a confident look. He gasped when Ronnie Anne held him up by the collar of his shirt.
"Maybe I didn't make myself clear" she brought her face close to his so that their noses were touching. "You duel me after school today or I beat you to a pulp!" she said threateningly, raising a clenched fist.
"Fine! I'll duel you. But I warn you, I'm no pushover" Lincoln replied, taking the girl's hands off him.
"Good. Meet me by the abandoned warehouse around 3:30" she told him before walking off. Lincoln gave an irritated sigh as he placed a hand on his head.
"Wow, Lincoln. You just got challenged by Ronnie Anne…" Clyde said.
"Wait, that was Ronnie Anne?" Lincoln looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, she's supposed to be the toughest girl in school and the toughest female duelist too. People call her the Rose Queen" Clyde informed his friend. "And she just challenged you to a duel. Whenever she duels, it makes her opponents quit before she even has a chance to finish them off"
"Why's that?" Lincoln asked.
"Fear, dude. Rumor has it she has this card that injures her opponents for real, and that's what frightens them. I suggest you quit before this gets any uglier" Clyde suggested.
"Are you kidding me, Clyde? I never quit a duel" Lincoln replied, smacking his chest with a fist.
"But aren't you worried? Aren't you scared?" his friend asked skeptically, trembling a bit.
"Under normal circumstances I would be, and you'd be right. But when it comes to dueling, I have no fear" he declared.
3:30 at the warehouse…
Lana: What's with you guys and meeting each other at 3:30?
Ronnie Anne: It's just the time we usually agree to. Anyway, we both arrived at the warehouse…
Lincoln and Clyde arrived at the warehouse at the time Lincoln was supposed to meet Ronnie Anne for their duel. Clyde was there for moral support.
"You sure you want to do this, Lincoln? It's never too late to back out" Clyde suggested again.
"I told you, Clyde, I never back down from a duel" Lincoln replied.
"That's what I like to hear" both boys heard a voice. They turned to see Ronnie Anne walking from the side with her eyes closed. The girl then faced her opponent and opened her eyes with a steely glare. "So, you ready to do this, Lincoln Loud?" she asked, pulling out her duel disk.
"If you mean am I ready duel you and win, then yes" he replied, pulling out his duel disk as well.
"And your friend is here to watch you fall. That'll make my victory even sweeter" Ronnie Anne smirked.
"Then let's do this. Duel disk, go! Duel gazer, let's roll!" Lincoln put his duel disk on his arm and his orange duel gazer over his left eye, Ronnie Anne doing the same. Clyde put his blue duel gazer over his eye as well.
Computer voice: Augmented reality visual link established.
"Let's duel!" both duelists shouted in unison.
Lincoln: 8000 LP (Hand: 5) (Deck: 35)
Ronnie Anne: 8000 LP (Hand: 5) (Deck: 35)
"Ladies first" Lincoln insisted.
"Don't patronize me, lame-o. How about you go first?" She shot back.
"Fine then" Lincoln rolled his eyes. "From my hand I activate the spell card Reinforcement of the Army! With it I can add one level 4 or below warrior-type monster from my deck to my hand" Lincoln said, adding a card to his hand. "Now I'll summon Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn to the field"
A dark skinned, shirtless warrior with black pants and a scarf around its neck, wearing armor on its legs and wielding a huge, triangular sword appeared on the field. (Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn lvl.4 ATK: 1700/DEF: 1000)
"Next I'll activate his special ability. I send the top two cards of deck to the graveyard to have it gain 200 attack points until the end of your turn" Lincoln sent two cards to the grave, increasing his monsters attack power. (Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn lvl.4 ATK: 1900/DEF: 1000)
"Performage Trick Clown's effect from the graveyard is activated. When it's sent to the graveyard I can special summon a performage monster from the grave and I use its ability to summon itself"
A clown holding a staff balancing itself on a ball with its hand appeared. (Performage Trick Clown lvl.4 ATK: 1600/DEF: 1200). "However, when I use this effect, I take 1000 points of damage" Lincoln explained.
Lincoln: 8000 – 1000 = 7000 LP (Hand: 4) (Deck: 32)
"But this works perfectly for me because Heroic Challenger – Thousand Blades' effect is activated. Whenever I take damage while it's in the graveyard, I can special summon it to the field" Lincoln declared. (Heroic Challenger – Thousand Blades lvl.4 ATK: 1300/DEF: 1100). "It doesn't stop there because I use my level 4 Heroic Challenger – Thousand Blades and Performage Trick Clown to build the overlay network" he said.
A dimensional portal opened and the monsters turned into orbs of light, going into the portal. The portal then exploded.
"I Xyz summon Minerva, the Exalted Lightsworn!" he exclaimed. What appeared in the portal's place was a red haired woman dressed in hooded white cloak wielding a staff in one hand and holding an owl on the other. (Minerva, the Exalted Lightsworn Rank 4 ATK: 2000/DEF: 800)
"I activate Minerva's special ability. By using one overlay units, I can send the top 3 cards from my deck to the graveyard and if any of them were Lightsworns, I get to draw a card for each" Lincoln explained as one Minerva's overlay units was absorbed into the amulet she was wearing.
Lincoln sent the top 3 cards to of his deck to the grave. Two of them were Lightsworn monsters so he was able to draw two cards. "I set two cards face down and end my turn" Lincoln declared, setting two cards in his spell/trap card zone. Due to Raiden's effect he had to send the top two cards of his deck to the graveyard.
Lincoln: 7000 LP (Hand: 4) (Deck: 25)
"Your move" he gestured towards Ronnie Anne.
"He was able to Xyz summon on his first turn. Not bad" Ronnie thought in her head as she drew her next card. "I summon Bird of Roses in attack position" (Bird of Roses lvl.4 ATK: 1800/DEF: 1500). "Next I'll have it attack your Hand of the Lightsworn" she declared
"Huh?" Lincoln gave a confused look.
"Why would she attack a monster that's stronger than hers?" Clyde asked.
Bird of Roses attempted to attack Raiden, but the lightsworn monster was able to counter it with a slash of its sword, destroying the rose bird monster. The caused Ronnie Anne 100 points of damage.
Ronnie Anne: 8000 – 100 = 7900 LP (Hand: 5) (Deck: 34)
"Since Bird of Roses was destroyed by battle, I can summon two Plant-Type Tuner monsters from my deck in face up defense position" Ronnie explained. "I summon Naturia Rosewhip and Copy Plant" a rose with a smiley face on it and twist tree thing appeared on the field.
(Naturia Rosewhip lvl.3 ATK: 400/DEF: 1700)
(Copy Plant lvl.1 ATK: 0/DEF: 0)
"Next I'll activate the continuous spell card Miracle Fertilizer. Once per turn I can target one Plant-Type monster in my graveyard and special summon it" she said, playing the spell card that showed a can of spray. "And I'll use this card to revive my Bird of Roses" Ronnie Anne declared, bringing back her level four monster. "Now my Naturia Rosewhip is going to give Bird of Roses a tune-up. I tune Naturia Rosewhip with Bird of Roses in order to Synchro summon Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"
A black and white snake-like dragon with arms and four blue wings on its back arrived on the field. (Clear Wing Synchro Dragon lvl.7 ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)
"But why stop there? Next I'll tune Copy Plant with Clear Wing Synchro Dragon in order to Synchro summon Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!" a bigger version of Clear wing Synchro Dragon appeared, wearing white armor with gold trims. (Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon lvl.8 ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500). "I set one card face down and end my turn" she added, playing a card face down in her spell/trap card zone. This also meant Raiden's attack point went back to normal.
Ronnie Anne: 7900 LP (Hand: 3) (Deck: 32)
"You were able to Synchro summon a level 8 Synchro monster on your first turn? That's pretty good" Lincoln complimented her.
"Just draw your next card" Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes, ignoring his comment.
Lincoln drew his next card. "I play the spell card Foolish Burial. With this I send one monster from my deck to the graveyard" Lincoln picked a card out of his deck and sent it to the grave. "I activate the effect of Wulf, Lightsworn Beast from the grave. You see, when it's sent from the deck to the graveyard I can special summon it to the field"
Lincoln then summoned a wolfman creature wearing armor and holding an axe to the field. (Wulf, Lightsworn Beast lvl.4 ATK: 2100/DEF: 300).
"Now I'll activate the trap card Lightsworn Judgment. It allows me to place it back on top of my deck" Lincoln placed said back on top of his deck. "I activate Minerva, the Exalted Lightsworn's effect. I use one of its overlay units to send the top 3 cards of my deck to my grave and if any of them were lightsworn monsters, I get to draw one card for each"
Lincoln sent 3 of the top cards from his deck to the graveyard. One of them was the trap card Lightsworn Judgement, one was the spell card Lightsworn Sabre which he equipped to Minerva and increased her attack points by 700, and the last one was lightsworn monster which allowed him to draw another card.
"Since Lightsworn Sabre was sent to the grave, I can equip it a lightsworn monster and I choose Minerva, the Exalted Lightsworn" he declared.
(Minerva, the Exalted Lightsworn Rank: 4 ATK: 2700/DEF: 800)
"And since Lightsworn Judgment was sent to the graveyard by the effect of a lightsworn monster, I get to add a certain card from my deck to my hand" he added a card to his hand. "Now I overlay my level four Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn and Wulf, Lightsworn Beast to Xyz summon Number 58: Burner Visor"
A ball with a fiery visor in the front appeared. (Number 58: Burner Visor Rank: 4 ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000) "Now I equip Burner visor to Minerva" Lincoln declared. Burner Visor's overlay units were sent to the grave when it equipped to Minerva by attaching itself to her face. "And when Burner Visor is equipped to another Xyz monster, that Xyz monster can attack you directly" Minerva fired a beam of fiery light at Ronnie Anne.
"I activate the trap card Blazing Mirror Force. When you attack, this card destroys all of your attack position monsters I take damage equal to half of their combined original attack power" Ronnie Anne explained, as Minerva's attack rebounded off a force field was shot back at Lincoln's monsters, destroying them. Ronnie Anne took 1850 points of damage.
Ronnie Anne: 7900 – 1850 = 6050 LP (Hand: 3) (Deck: 32)
"But this card is somewhat of a dual-edged sword because you take the same amount of damage I just took" she added. Lincoln's eyes as a fireball shot from the force field. Lincoln yelled as he took the same damage Ronnie Anne took.
Lincoln: 7000 – 1850 = 5150 LP (Hand: 5) (Deck: 21)
"And since it took damage due to a card effect, I'm allowed to special summon Damage Mage from my hand" Ronnie Anne summoned a black robed mage with angel wings to her field in defense position. (Damage Mage lvl.3 ATK: 600/DEF: 1200). "And when this monster's summoned, I gain Life points equal to the damage I took"
Ronnie Anne: 6050 + 1850 = 7900 LP (Hands: 2) (Deck: 32)
"Whoa. She's good…" Clyde said to himself.
"She IS good. That dragon of hers seems to be pretty powerful and there's nothing in my hand that can destroy it through battle. So there's only one thing to do…" Lincoln thought. "I set a monster face down and I end my turn" he set a monster face down in defense position.
Lincoln: 5150 LP (Hand: 5) (Deck: 21)
Ronnie Anne drew her next card. "I summon Blue Rose Dragon from my hand" Ronnie Anne said, and then a small blue rose themed dragon let out a little roar as it appeared on the field. (Blue Rose Dragon lvl.4 ATK: 1600/DEF: 1200).
"Next I use Miracle Fertilizer to bring back Bird of Roses" Ronnie Anne brought back her level four monster. "And now I'll activate Natural Tune and turn my Damage Mage into a Tuner monster and have it give Bird of Roses a tune-up" she declared as she performed a synchro summon. "Lincoln, I'm sure you've heard the rumors about me. How I'm the toughest girl in school and how I'm also known as the Rose Queen. Well, both rumors are true and you're about to find out why I'm called by that title…" she began.
"Uh-oh…" Clyde looked worried.
"Tremble in fear as I Synchro summon the mighty Black Rose Dragon!" A gust of wind containing rose pedals blew like a twister. The next thing they knew a giant rose dragon appeared before them. (Black Rose Dragon lvl.7 ATK: 2400/DEF: 1800). "And when this dragon is summoned, all cards on the field are destroyed"
"Say what?!" Lincoln gave a look of surprise. Black Rose Dragon released a gust of powerful wind the destroyed every card on the field, including itself. "Well, there goes my plan to use Ryko to destroy her Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon"
"Now Blue Rose Dragon's effect is activated. When it's destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I can bring back Black Rose Dragon" Ronnie Anne explained, reviving her dragon. "Black Rose Dragon, attack Lincoln directly!" she commanded. Black Rose Dragon roared as it shot spikey vine-whips at Lincoln, causing him 2400 points of damage.
Lincoln: 5150 – 2400 = 2750 LP (Hand: 5) (Deck: 21)
"Your life points are running low. This would be the part where you give up" Ronnie Anne said harshly with eyes closed.
There was no way this lame-o could keep on dueling. Even if he did manage to pull out a high level monster, she'd be able to counter it and damage him in the process. Like all of her other opponents, he was a fool. He was stubborn. He was weak. He was… laughing? Why was he laughing?
"What's so funny?" Ronnie Anne asked, shooting him a glare.
"Nothing, it's just… I'm struggling right now and yet… I'm still having fun. I don't think I've ever had this much fun in a duel before" Lincoln replied with a smile. "You really are an amazing duelist, Ronnie Anne"
The girl's eyes widened and a light blush crept across her face when he said that. Usually her opponents would be afraid of her and quit the duel before it ended. Some even wetted there pants. But this guy… was having fun with her? That was a first. She wasn't sure why, but her heart was beating a little faster than usual.
"I… uh… I end my turn" she said while looking off to the side.
Ronnie Anne: 7900 LP (Hands: 1) (Deck: 31)
Lincoln drew his card and luckily for him, it was a card that could save him. "I saw your ultimate monster, so it's only fair I get to show you mine" Lincoln smirked. "Since I have four or more lightsworn monsters in my grave with different names, I'm allowed to special summon the all mighty and all powerful Judgment Dragon!" Lincoln declared.
The clouds above formed a ring in the sky and shot golden flash of light behind Lincoln, causing wind to pick up behind him. From the light came a pair of massive white wings and a giant pair of red claws. Once the light dissipated, what appeared in its place was a massive white, feathered dragon that out a roar so powerful it the ground shake. It was the god of lightsworns. Judgment Dragon. (Judgment Dragon lvl.8 ATK: 3000/DEF: 2600)
"I activate Judgment Dragon's special ability. By paying 1000 life points, all cards other than itself are destroyed" Lincoln explained. His dragon let out a mighty roar that destroyed Ronnie Anne's dragon
Lincoln: 2750 – 1000 = 1750 LP (Hand: 5) (Deck: 20)
"I equip Judgment Dragon with Megamorph. Since my life points are lower than yours, Judgment Dragon's attack points are doubled!" he said as his dragon's attack power was increased.
(Judgment Dragon lvl.8 ATK: 6000/DEF: 2600)
"And while I'm at it, I'll activate the spell card Double Attack. By sending a monster with a level high than Judgment Dragon's from my hand to the graveyard, I can have Judgment Dragon attack twice this turn" Lincoln said, sending a level 10 monster from his hand to the graveyard.
Ronnie Anne gasped in surprise.
"Judgment Dragon, attack Ronnie Anne directly" Lincoln commanded. Judgment Dragon let out a roar that did 6000 points of damage.
Ronnie Anne: 7900 – 6000 = 1900 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 31)
"Now, Judgment Dragon, finish off her life points. Attack with Celestial Judgment!" Lincoln declared as Judgment Dragon charged its mouth with a fiery golden, and then fired it at Lincoln's opponent.
Ronnie Anne closed her eyes and smiled. "So the rumors about him are true. He is a great duelist…" she thought before the attack hit her, wiping out her life points.
Ronnie Ann: 0 LP (Hand: 1) (Deck: 31)
WINNER: Lincoln
"Amazing. You won, Lincoln" Clyde congratulated his friend.
"Thanks, Clyde" Lincoln replied as he walked towards his opponent. He was now face to face with the girl. He smiled and held out his hand. "Hey, good game" he offered her a handshake.
Ronnie Anne looked at his offer of a handshake, and then at Lincoln himself. She slow raised her hand to meet his. To shake his hand for giving her a great duel…
*Thwack*
Only to have her clench her hand into a fist and punch him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him.
"What the hell?! I gave you your duel like you wanted and punch me in the gut?" Lincoln grunted as winced and held his stomach in slight pain.
"I'm sorry, but I'm a bit of a sore loser" Ronnie Anne sarcastically remarked as she glared at the white haired boy before her. "Next time we duel, I don't plan to lose. See you around, lame-o" she added before walking off.
"Man, that girl must really hate your guts now" Clyde commented.
"Yeah, no kidding. I don't know why, but I have this weird feeling that we're going to see a lot more of Ronnie Anne in the future" Lincoln said as the pain in his stomach subsided.
Ronnie Anne was heading home after that little ordeal with Lincoln. He was the first person to follow through with the duel. And he had managed to beat her, too. "Lincoln Loud… what a lame-o. He's such a dork" she thought in her head.
She stopped when the memories of their recent duel played in her head. How he complimented her dueling skills and how good of a duelist he was. She couldn't but smile a little. "And also kind of cute…" a light blush spread across her face. Was she actually starting to have a crush on this guy?
Maybe so.
Present day…
"And that's the story of how Lincoln and I first met" Ronnie Anne concluded, looking at Lana.
"So you guys met through dueling, Lincoln beat you, and from that point on you bullied him just to get his attention?" Lana asked, making sure she got all the facts straight.
"Yeah, but only because didn't know how to show my feelings properly. Your brother was the first person outside my dad to ever beat me in a duel" Ronnie Anne said.
"Yeah, and then she socked my gut for it" Lincoln added jokingly.
"I said I was sorry" Ronnie Anne replied. "And besides, we're together now because of our little duel, lame-o" she added.
"Yeah, I can't argue with you there, pussycat" Lincoln smiled.
Lana looked between her brother and his girlfriend. She got the vibe of what was going on between the two. "Well, I got the answers I wanted. I think I'm going to go play in the mud with Charles" Lana said as she dashed out the house to give the two pre-teens their privacy.
"Now, where we before we were interrupted?" Lincoln asked.
"We we're making out" Ronnie Anne reminded him, giving him seductive glance.
Lincoln grabbed his girlfriend by the waist and lied on his back like he did before and proceeded to make out with her on top, her hands place gently on his cheeks. To think, these two were together because of that one duel. And Lincoln and Ronnie Anne wouldn't have it any other way. Their lives were just perfect.
And here's my second Duel House story. Hope you all enjoyed it. And I'd like to thank my friend Omega Ultra for helping me out, he helped me with a majority of dueling parts of this story. Thank you, Omega Ultra.
