AN: Well time for another update and duel….wish more people reviewed but hey what are ya gonna do.
Back in the prison cells one certain card professor was pacing his cell; he shared a cell ironically with Pegasus, Bonz, and Sid and Zygor. The Professor was Bandit Keith
Keith was pacing around his cell, annoyed with this, last thing he remembered was that he was in an underground duel after the whole Yako problem he was involved with, then boom he disappeared into this cell with the four people he didn't want to be with.
"Keith my boy something troubling you?" Pegasus asked in his gentleman like voice, despite the situations he was as calm as can be
"Can it rich boy" Keith let out and Sid just sighed, "You know Keith you might want to be polite, last guy who fought another cell mate disappeared without even dueling"
"I'm not in the mood to talk to some reject duelist kingdom duelist" Keith said, he slammed the glass like wall in front of them, nothing moved, it wasn't glass but the material was clear and stronger then steel alright.
"So think Keith will get us out of here?" Zygor asked and Pegasus laughed, 'Not likely, I mean he lost to a rank amateur back at my tournament, I doubt he could last one turn to our host" He said and Keith was about to turn around and punch the long haired man right in the jaw when he felt himself teleport
"Well I guess it was time for him to duel, I wonder who his opponent is" Pegasus laughed as they looked to the screen that appeared on the back wall
Up in the white dimension Keith was standing on a floating platform, he looked ahead and saw a young man in a Kimono staring down at him; he looked like he went through a lot because Keith could see scars on the man
"So who are you?" Keith asked and the man just activated his duel disk
"They call me Tenzen Yanagi" The man said and he drew his hand looking at the cards
"So if I am to believe my host, this is my best deck, but I'm at my best at this point of my life" Yanagi said
Onox who sat at his personal platform nodded his head, "That is correct" He said, "The deck all duelists hold is the best deck and the duelists are the best in their own lifetime"
"Well glad to know that my deck is perfect for me" Keith said drawing, "and when I win I'm going to tear you apart" Keith said to Onox who didn't say anything, he seemed almost bored
"Duel" both Keith and Yanagi said and Keith drew first
"I summon my mechanical chaser in attack mode" Keith said summoning the mechanical assassin to the field (1850/800)
"I end my turn with two facedown cards" Keith said and Yanagi looked at his cards
"These cards are weak….unless they are used differently" He thought and then smiled
"I summon Ashoka Pillar in defense mode" Yanagi said summoning the titanic stone pillar to the field (0/2200)
"Seems in my future I found this card, I guess I did find this in India, next I play the field spell Ancient Temple" Yanagi said playing a field spell that looked like Ancient Egyptian ruins
The field changed and it looked like they were in a tomb
"With this field spell all rock monsters with less than 500 attack gain 1500 defense while in defense mode" Yanagi explained as his pillar's defense shot up higher (3700 defense)
"I end my turn with a facedown card" He said
"I'm gonna enjoy smashing that rock into the ground" Keith said looking at his next card
"I summon my Mechanical Piercer in attack mode" Keith said summoning a similar floating orb, but this time it was more armored, and its only weapon was a large piercing sting on the bottom of the orb (1600/1000)
Yanagi didn't know what to say
"With this card if it battles a defense position monster I take no battle damage and the monster it attacked is destroyed" Keith explained
"Now then, Piercer, destroy that pillar!" Keith cried out and the piercing droid slammed itself into the pillar and it began to crack
"The downside of my pillar is that when it is destroyed I take 2000 points of damaged…."Yanagi said as the pillar began to crumble around him, clouding his side of the field in dust
"Heh, and you are gonna take even more damage" Keith said but then something came out of the dust, Japanese paper dolls began to swarm Keith's field and he felt his lifepoints go down by 2000
Keith: 2000
Yanagi: 4000
"How come I took that damage?" Keith asked and when the dust cleared on Yanagi's field was a spell card
"I activated my quick play spell card, Curse Reflection dolls, with this card all the damage I would have taken is instead given to you instead" The man said chuckling a bit
"Grrr, fine Mechanical chaser attack him directly!" Keith called out and the machine monster stabbed Yanagi
Yanagi: 2150
"Now back to me" Yanagi said looking at his next card
"I lay one card facedown and then summon Clay Solider in defense mode" Yanagi said summoning a Chinese Clay solider to the field (300/1000, to 300/2500)
"That ends my turn" He said and Keith drew his next card and smirked
"I offer my Mechanical chaser in order to summon Machine King" Keith said summoning the Mechanical Royalty to the field (2200/2000)
"And with his effect he gains 100 attack for each machine on the field" He said (2400/200)
"Mechanical Piercer destroy his clay soldier" Keith ordered but before the machine could destroy the clay monster Yanagi flipped a trap
"I activate my Totem Pole trap card" He said and the large Totem Pole appeared and fired one of its layer's at the machine blocking its advance
"With this trap I can block a total of three attacks" He explained and Keith just glared at him and ended his turn
Yanagi looked at his next card and smiled
"This is perfect" He said, "I offer my Clay soldier in order to summon my Stone Guardian in attack mode"
The clay monster disappeared and then Yanagi cried out in pain as his lost 700 lifepoints
"Because my Soldier was sent to the graveyard I lost 700 lifepoints" He explained
Yanagi: 1450
In the clay monster's place was a large stone statue, in the style of an Indian Snake warrior, in its hands was a curved blade (2000/1500)
"Every time this guardian attacks, I lost 500 lifepoints" Yanagi said
"Ok why is it that you have cards that hurt you so much?" Keith asked
"Because these cards are all treasures, special to myself and my future me, and now you are going to lose this game" Yanagi said
"What are you talking about? Your monster doesn't have enough attack to take on my machine king" but then Yanagi played a new spell
"I equip my Stone Guardian with Futunomitama the Stone Blade" Yanagi called out, a small stone blade, almost the size of a dagger appeared in the statue's hands, but his attack points didn't change
"But it was worthless, it didn't boost his attack" Keith said and Yanagi groaned in pain some more
"Because I played this card I lost half of my lifepoints" Yanagi explained
Yanagi: 725
Keith: 2000
"So let me see if I get this right, you lost almost all your lifepoints in order to play a worthless stone blade" Keith said and Yanagi glared at him
"Do not mock the treasures of the past…because now you will lose the duel, Stone Guardian destroy his Mechanical Piercer!" Yanagi cried out and he field his lifepoints lower but the stone snake sliced the machine in half
Keith: 1600
Yanagi: 225
"So what was the point of that?" Keith asked, Yanagi was laughing, "What's so funny?" Keith cried out
"You don't get it, Futunomitama is a special stone blade, the cost of playing it was high, but its power is worth it, for you see when the equipped monster destroys another monster in battle, you take damage equal to the equipped monster's attack"
"Say what? No way that's impossible, how could I lose to museum pieces!" Keith yelled
"When you ignore the past and its lessons, you will not succeed in the future" Yanagi said as his stone snake swung the blade and sent a shock wave of energy at Keith taking out the rest of his lifepoints
"Damn it…." Keith groaned and Onox turned to Yanagi, "Impressive, I knew this match up would at least entertain me for a bit"
"Glad I could entertain you" Yanagi said as his duel disk deactivated
"Now I believe it is time for you to rest, as for Keith, he has a lot to learn before he could even think of challenging me" Onox said teleporting the two back to their cells, he had to think of some new match ups for entertainment, and to see who was worthy to face him….
