Chapter 3: Stupid Conflicts and the Trip to the Satellite
With the Rental Deck Tournament now over, Takashi decided to head back home before he sunsets. As he did he looked at his new Elemental Hero Deck and smiled.
"I can tell that I'm going to win a lot of Duels with this Deck." He said to himself. He then brought out his Dragon Deck and the first card that he saw was his Stardust Dragon. "However…I'll still use this deck. I mean it was the first deck that I ever made."
Takashi started to flashback to the time where he first made his Dragon Deck. He was a little boy and Klaus give him his first card, which happened to be Stardust Dragon. Klaus told Takashi that Stardust used to belong to his father and that he should always cherish it. He also told him that one day; Stardust Dragon will open the door to his destiny. Even to this day, Takashi hasn't figured out what Klaus meant when he said that. However he's come up with the assumption that Stardust would help him become a great Turbo Duelist.
After he finished flashing back, Takashi put his Dragon Deck back into the Duel Box that he keeps on his belt. He was then about to do the same with his E-Hero Deck, however before he got the chance to do so…a man accidently ran up to him.
"Hey…watch where you're going!" He said as he caught himself from falling on the ground.
"Shut up…!" The man said. "I'm in a hurry, the Rental Deck Tournament is about to start and I have to get there!"
Takashi looked at the man and saw that it was Bronson, a guy who works in the pub where Klaus works.
"Bronson…" He said. "What are you doing? Aren't you late for work?"
Bronson looked up and saw that it was Takashi. He then stood and looked him in the eyes.
"I have the day off today." He answered. "I was going to use my day off to participate in the Rental Deck Tournament."
"I see…" Takashi said. "But you should know that the Tournament ended a few minutes ago. I just won it."
"What…?" Bronson said in a shock tone. "Why did they start it without me? I would've been there eventually."
"The store clerk said that you were running late and that the Tournament had to begin soon." Takashi explained. "So she just allowed me to take your place."
Bronson kicked his boot towards the desert ground and cursed himself for a few seconds. He glared at Takashi and activated the Duel Disk that was attached to his arm.
"Duel me…!" He said. "If you won the Tournament, then I'll just defeat you. That way I'll be the true winner."
Takashi looked at him for a few minutes before nodding his head. He then activated his own Duel Disk and inserted his E-Hero Deck into it.
"DUEL!"
Takashi: 4000 LP
Bronson: 4000 LP
"I'll go first…Draw!" Takashi yelled as he drew a card from his deck. He quickly looked at it before looking at all the other cards that were in his hand. He then decided to play the card that he just drew. "I summon my Elemental Hero Clayman in Defense Mode! With that I end my turn."
E-Hero Clayman: ATK 800 DEF 2000 LVL 4
"My turn, I draw." Bronson said as he drew a card from his deck. He looked at the card and smiled at it. However when he looked at all of the rest of the cards in his hand, his smile faded.
"What's wrong…?" Takashi asked. "Don't have the cards that you want?"
Bronson looked at him. "Don't worry about it! I have just the card to fix that problem." Bronson placed the card that he drew into the Spell/Trap Zone of his Duel Disk. The card appeared on the field and it had the image of a mallet with wings. "I play Magical Mallet!"
"Magical Mallet…?" Takashi questioned. "What does that card do?"
"I'm glad you asked." Bronson said with a smile. "Magical Mallet is a Spell Card that allows me to add any number of cards that's in my hand and put them back in my deck. I then reshuffle and draw the cards that I added. I think I'll choose all of my cards."
Takashi looked on as Bronson put Magical Mallet in his card Graveyard. He then took the rest of the cards that were in his hand and put them in his deck. The Duel Disk would then automatically shuffle his cards and Bronson would draw few new cards. When he did a smile appeared on his face again.
"You got a better hand this time?" Takashi asked.
"Yes…" Bronson said. "However there are a few cards that I need that aren't in my hand right now. So I think I'll do this." Bronson put a card in his Spell/Trap Zone and the card was revealed to be another Magical Mallet.
"Oh c'mon…!" Takashi moaned.
His opponent would take two cards from his hand and add them to his deck. The Duel Disk shuffled his cards again and Bronson drew two cards from his deck. When he looked at them, his smile got bigger. He would then place a card on the Monster Card Zone
"I summon V-Tiger Jet in Attack Mode!" He yelled.
V-Tiger Jet: ATK 1600 DEF 1800 LVL 4
The hologram of a yellow and green tiger jet appeared on the field. Bronson would then put another card in his Spell/Trap Zone. "I activate the Continuous Spell, Frontline Base!" The card appeared on the field and it had the image of a knight riding a black dragon. "With this card, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Union Monster, once per turn! The monster that I choose to summon is my, W-Wing Catapult!"
W-Wing Catapult: ATK 1300 DEF 1500 LVL 4
Bronson placed the card on his Monster Zone and soon a blue, twin plane appeared right next to V-Tiger Jet. Takashi wasn't too worried when he looked at the monsters that he was facing. Sure, they were tough looking, but they didn't have enough Attack Points to break through Clayman's Defense. However there is one thing that was on his mind.
"What's a Union Monster…?" He asked Bronson.
"A Union Monster is a type of Monster that can combine to form one powerful monster." Bronson explained. "For example…I combine my V-Tiger Jet with my W-Wing Catapult to summon my VW- Tiger Catapult!"
VW-Tiger Catapult: ATK 2000 DEF 2100 LVL 6
Bronson's V-Tiger Jet got on top of his W-Wing Catapult. The two monsters then combined and landed on the floor.
"That still doesn't help you!" Takashi said. "Your monster's Attack is just as strong as Clayman's Defense, so it won't be able to destroy it."
"I know that!' Bronson yelled. "That's why I'm activating my Tiger Catapult's Special Ability. By discarding one card, my Catapult can force one of your Monsters in Attack Mode!" Bronson put one his cards into the Graveyard, which suddenly caused Clayman to stop defending. "Now VW-Tiger Catapult, attack Clayman with your Tiger Missile!"
Tiger Catapult fired a missile from its and it headed straight for Clayman. Once the missile connected with its target, the Elemental Hero was blown to bits!
Takashi: 2800 LP
Bronson: 4000 LP
"I set one card face-down and end my turn."
A face-down card appeared right in front of Bronson, who was giving Takashi a smug smile. However, the young man simply ignored his opponent and began his turn.
"Draw…!" He yelled as he drew a card. Takashi looked at the card and saw that it was a Spell Card that had the image of an angel on it. However he couldn't use that Spell right now so he just put it in his hand. Takashi would then take two cards and place one in the Monster Zone, while he placed the other in the Spell/Trap Zone. "I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in Defense Mode. Then, I place one card face-down and end my turn."
E-Hero Sparkman: ATK 1600 DEF 1400 LVL 4
Sparkman appeared on the field and sat in a defensive position. Then a face-down card appeared behind him.
"What…is that all you have?" Bronson said as he drew a card. "I expected more from the guy who won the Tournament." He placed at card on his Duel Disk. "I summon my X-Head Cannon, in Attack Mode!"
X-Head Cannon: ATK 1800 DEF 1500 LVL 4
A robot with two cannons on his shoulders appeared on the field.
"Next I activate Frontline Base, to Special Summon my Z-Metal Tank in Attack Mode!"
Z-Metal Tank: ATK 1500 DEF 1300 LVL 4
A yellow Tank with an eyeball in the middle of it appeared and stood right next to X-Head Cannon. Bronson would then press a button on his Duel Disk, which caused his face-down card to reveal itself. It had the image of graveyard with ghost coming out of the tombs.
"I activate the Trap Card, Call of the Haunted, to bring back the Y-Dragon Head that I discarded using my Tiger Catapult's ability!"
Y-Dragon Head: ATK 1500 DEF 1600 LVL 4
A red, robot dragon appeared and stood next to its comrades. Takashi looked on in horror when he saw all of Bronson's monsters on the field.
"This…is not…good." He stuttered.
"You're right Takashi…and it's about to get much worse!" Bronson said. "I combine my X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head, and Z-Metal Tank to form the XYZ-Dragon Cannon. Then I combine XYZ-Dragon Cannon with VW-Tiger Catapult to form my ultimate monster, The VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon!"
XYZ-Dragon Cannon: ATK 2800 DEF 2600 LVL 8
VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon: ATK 3000 DEF 2800 LVL 8
The X, Y, and Z robots combined to form a tank sized cannon. Then it combined with VW Tiger Catapult and it turned into a giant robot. When Takashi saw it, it reminded him of a Power Rangers Megazord.
"Holy Crap…" He said in shock and awe.
"I'm not done yet Takashi!" Bronson yelled. "I activate my Dragon Catapult Cannon's Special Ability. Now I can remove one of your monsters from the Duel and I choose Sparkman!"
VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon shot a power laser beam from its eyes, which proceeded to hit Takashi's Sparkman. The Elemental Hero then vanished into another dimension.
"Shit…!" Takashi cursed as he took Sparkman's card and put it away.
"Now Catapult Cannon…Attack Takashi's Life Points!" Bronson yelled.
Dragon Catapult Cannon fired two powerful laser beams from the cannons it had on its shoulders. As the beams were headed towards him Takashi pressed a button on his Duel Disk. His face-down card flipped up and it had the image of a monster coming out of a box.
"I activate the Hero Emerges Trap Card!" He yelled. The lasers beams stopped just before they hit Takashi and they stood in place as the young man continued talking. "With this Trap, you have to pick a card that's in my hand. If it's a Monster then I can Special Summon it. However if it's a Spell or Trap card, then I have to discard it."
"Ha…so this entire Duel is going to be decided by a random guess." Bronson said while he was laughing. "Fine…I choose the 3 card from the right."
Takashi slowly looked at the card and smiled. He then placed it on his Duel Disk.
"I summon Elemental Hero Avian in Defense Mode!" He yelled confidently.
E-Hero Avian: ATK 1000 DEF 1000 LVL 3
The winged Elemental Hero got right in front of the Takashi and prepared to take the hit for him.
"That won't help you!" Bronson stated. "I activate VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon's second Special Ability! When it attacks a Monster, I can choose its mode. I choose to switch Avian in Attack Mode!"
Avian stopped blocking as the laser started moving again. The attack hit the Elemental Hero, destroying it completely.
Takashi: 800 LP
Bronson: 4000 LP
"You should surrender Takashi! You have no monsters that can stand up against my powerful Dragon Catapult Cannon."
Takashi looked at Bronson and shook his head in disagreement. "No way…" He said. "I never give up. There's always a way to win a Duel. And I'll show you right now! Draw!"
Takashi swiftly, but firmly drew a card from his Duel Disk. He slowly looked at it and smiled.
"I summon Winged Kuriboh in Attack Mode! Next I place on card face-down and end my turn."
Winged Kuriboh: ATK 300 DEF 200 LVL 1
As a face-down card appeared on the field, a small brown monster with brown fur, big eyes, green arms and legs, and small angel wings appeared.
Seeing the little creature, Bronson couldn't hold back his laughter.
"You…you're actually…playing that thing…Ha!" He said. "You must've gone…insane."
"Haven't you heard the story of David and Goliath?" Takashi asked. "That story brought true meaning to the phrase, 'big things come in small packages."
"Yeah…this isn't the story of David and Goliath!" Bronson yelled as he drew a card. "This is the story of my monster kicking your monster's ass. Show him what I mean VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon!"
Bronson's monster fired its laser beams at Kuriboh and the attack caused a huge explosion. As the holographic smoke covered the battlefield, Bronson started laughing again.
"Take that! I win!"
"You sure about that…?" Takashi asked.
Bronson looked on as the smoke started to clear. He soon saw that Winged Kuriboh was glowing and that a Spell Card with an image of an angel was right next to it. As he pondered what was going on, Takashi explained the situation to his confused opponent.
"I activated the Quick-Play Spell Card, Transcendent Wings. This card can only be activated when I have Winged Kuriboh on the field. Now by discarding two cards, and sacrificing Winged Kuriboh, I can Special Summon Winged Kuriboh Level 10!"
Winged Kuriboh Level 10: ATK 300 DEF 200 LVL 10
Takashi discarded the two cards had in his hand. This caused Winged Kuriboh to glow even more and soon it had a dragon, with a giant pair of angel wings, on its body.
"Lev…level….10…?" Bronson stuttered in disbelief. He just couldn't believe at what he just saw.
Takashi saw the shock on his face and smiled. "I activate Level 10's Special Ability! By sacrificing itself, Kuriboh can destroy all of your Attack Position monster and deal you damage equal to their Attack Points."
"What…?" Bronson said in horror. He saw that Winged Kuriboh glowed so bright that it consumed his Dragon Catapult Cannon. Soon the light faded and both monsters vanished.
Takashi: 800 LP
Bronson: 1000 LP
Takashi looked at Bronson and saw that his will was broken. Not wanting to drag the Duel any longer that it needs to he simply drew a card from his Deck and placed it on his Duel Disk.
"I summon Elemental Hero Wildheart in Attack Mode." He said calmly.
E-Hero Wildheart: ATK 1500 DEF 1600 LVL 4
A man, wearing jungle clothes and had a large sword, appeared on Takashi's side of the field.
"Attack his Life Points Directly."
Wildheart ran over towards Bronson and slashed him in the chest with his sword. However Bronson didn't respond the attack, all he did was fall to his knees with a defeated look on his face.
Takashi: 800 LP
Bronson: 0 LP
As the holograms disappeared, Takashi deactivated his Duel Disk and put his deck in his pocket. He then walked over towards Bronson.
"Just to let you know…the deck I used was the one I won at the Tournament." He said. "So if I can beat you using cards that I'm just getting used to. Then imagine Dueling against my real Deck."
With that Takashi left, leaving Bronson to reflect on what he just said to him. Soon a bell started a ring, which caused everyone in Crash Town to jump up. This included Takashi who quickly ran towards his house. You see…when the bell rings, it means that it's sunset and that means that the Radley and Malcolm family about to duke it out.
Once he made it inside his house, Takashi was relieved that Klaus was already inside making dinner. He quietly thanked God as he walked inside. Soon the two of them were eating dinner and as Takashi was stuffing his face with rice, beef, and broccoli.
"Takashi…" Klaus said.
The young man looked at his Grandfather, with tons of food in his mouth.
"Tomorrow, we're taking a little trip outside of town."
"Really…?" Takashi said as he swallowed the food that was in his mouth. "Where to…?"
As he watched his Grandson drinking some juice, Klaus answered his question.
"We're going to Satellite…"
Takashi eyes widen as he spat the juice from out of his mouth. Klaus reacted fast and quickly grabbed a pan, so that the liquid would get on it instead of him.
"We're going…to the Satellite?" Takashi asked in disbelief. "Are you serious?"
"Yes…" Klaus answered. "I friend there and has some things I need for the pub. I want to take you along because I don't want you to be at Crash Town all the time."
"Klaus…" Takashi said. "You do know what happens at the Satellite…don't you?"
"It will be fine Takashi…" His grandfather said. "Don't worry about it too much."
Later that night Takashi was busy laying on his bed thinking about tomorrow.
"From what I heard…" He thought. "The Satellite is an awful island, separated from New Domino City. It's filled with thugs and killer and all types of other people. Toru thinks that the people who reside there are suffering from an actual 'Living Hell'. However I've also heard rumors of a group of Duelists called 'Team Satisfaction' are trying to helped out the people living there and getting rid of all the thugs. I can't be sure whether or not this is true or not…, but there's only one way to find out."
The next day Takashi and Klaus woke up at the crack of dawn and were preparing to leave in a small car. Just before they were about to get inside, Takashi heard someone calling his name. He turned around and saw that it was Toru, who was running towards him.
"Takashi, where are you going?" He asked. "I wanted you to help me work on the engine of my Duel Runner."
"Sorry man…" Takashi replied. "But Klaus and I are heading for the Satellite. Apparently he needs to get something from a friend, who lives there."
"Satellite…?" Toru said in shock. "Do you know what that place is?"
Takashi nodded his head. "I do, but Klaus says that there is nothing to worry about. I can't be entirely sure if that's true, but there is only way to find out."
"I see…" Toru said. "Well if you're going, then can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, but what is it?" Takashi asked his friend.
Toru went into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone. He would then text for a few minutes before finally putting his phone away. Just as he did that Takashi's cell phone started to ring. He pulled it out and saw that he's just received a text message from Toru himself. He would look at his friend with a confused look.
"Why text me something, if you're right here?" He asked.
"Just read it…" Toru told him.
Takashi sighed and opened his phone. He then saw that Toru texted him a list of Duel Runner parts.
"My friend told me, that the parts I need can be found in the Satellite." Toru explained. "He was going to have one his contacts pick it up for me; however the timetable was around 2 to 4 months. However since you're going, you can pick up the parts for me."
"Yeah…I have no problem doing that for you." Takashi said. "However you need to do something for me in return."
"Sure…what would that be?" Toru asked.
"Once you finished working on your Duel Runner, I want to be the first one to ride it." Takashi said. "That's all I want."
Toru smiled when he heard his childhood friend say that.
"Takashi…you do this for me and I'll allow you to ride my Runner as many times as you want."
Takashi smiled. "Awesome."
With that, the two boys shook hands and went their separate ways. Takashi would go in the car with Klaus and drive into the desert. However their drive only lasted for about an hour as Klaus parked the car by some boulders.
"Why are we parking here?" Takashi asked.
"Get out of the car and find out." Klaus said to him.
Klaus got out of the car first, followed by a curious Takashi. The two of them walked towards the boulders and soon saw an opened man-hole near one of them.
"Back when Crash City was just being built, Radley and Malcolm used this underground tunnel to walk towards New Domino City, without having to cross the desert." Klaus explained. "We can use this abandoned tunnel to make to Satellite."
"I see…" Takashi said. "Then let's stop standing here, with are head up are asses, and go."
Klaus slapped the young man upside the back of his head. "Language…!"
The two of them went inside the tunnel and used an old railcar to make their journey through the tunnel go by a little faster. After another hour they made it to the end of the tunnel and saw another man-hole entrance. They climbed out the railcar and made their way to it. Takashi was the first one out and got his first real look at the Satellite Sector. There were a lot of old and beat up building and the people that he saw were wearing old and beat up clothes.
"Whoa…" He said.
Klaus made it out next, however he didn't look around because he already been to the Satellite before. He would then look at Takashi.
"Alright, I'm going out to get the things from my friend." He said. "You go and look for the parts that Toru wanted you to get for him."
"Right…" Takashi replied.
The two of them walked away in opposite directions. Takashi, who was looking around while walking, soon made his way to the pier. As he looked out at the ocean he heard someone crying. He turned and saw a little girl, crying in the middle of the road. He walked up to her and gently patted her shoulder.
"You ok sweetie…?" He asked.
The girl looked at him and slowly answered him.
"I…I can't…find him…" She said.
"Find who…?" Takashi asked. "Your daddy…"
The girl swung her head. "No…I can't…find Crow…" She said.
"Crow…?" Takashi questioned. "Who's Crow?"
"A boy who looks after me…" The girl answered. "I've lost sight of him and I don't know where to look."
The girl started crying some more, so Takashi gently picked her up and placed her on his shoulders. He then smiled.
"Then why don't I help you find him."
"Really…?" The girl asked. "You would do that?"
Takashi nodded his head, which caused the girl to smile a little. The two of them then walked all around the area, trying to find Crow. Soon they came across a young man with spiky orange hair and he was calling for someone.
"Saya…Saya where are you?" He yelled at the top of his lungs.
The girl looked at the boy and smiled. "Over here Crow!" She yelled.
"So that's Crow…" Takashi thought as he put Saya back on the ground.
Crow turned around and saw Saya waving at him. He sighed with relief and ran towards her. Once he got to her, the two of them hugged.
"There you are." He said. "I've thought I lost you."
Crow looked up and saw Takashi looking at them. This made Crow angry, so he stood up and grabbed Takashi by his shirt.
"What do you think you're doing?" He yelled. "Were you trying to kidnap this little girl?"
Takashi glared at the carrot top as he slapped his hand away.
"What do mean kidnap? I brought her to you!"
"Like hell you did!" Crow replied. "Then why haven't I seen you here before. No one around here would help a little girl for no reason."
"What..?" Takashi yelled.
The two boys glared at each other for several minutes. Soon Crow noticed that Takashi had a Duel Disk on his arm. This gave him an idea, so he activated the Duel Disk that was on his arm.
"Duel me!" He yelled.
"Duel you…?" Takashi questioned. "What for?"
Crow simply smirked at him. "What wrong…are you too much of a chicken shit to Duel me?"
Hearing Crow call him a chicken shit pushed Takashi over the edge. He quickly activated his own Duel Disk and inserted his Dragon Deck into it.
"Fine you asshole! You got yourself a Duel and I hope you're prepared to lose."
Crow smiled and soon pressed a button on his Duel Disk. Suddenly a black cable popped out of it and attached itself to Takashi's Duel Disk.
"What the hell is this?" He asked. "What you do to my Duel Disk, you bastard?"
"I'm just adding more excitement to this Duel." Crow stated. "That wire carries a very unstable electromagnetic pulse. If you lose this Duel, then the pulse will activate destroying your Duel Disk."
"What…?" Takashi yelled
Chapter 4 Preview
