Yugioh! Eternal Cries
Episode 4- Another Roomie

Shin was in the lunchroom, eating all by himself. He was thinking about his duel with Steele. His first loss since he arrived at the Academy. Then, Tyler appeared with his plate. He sat down next to Shin and started eating. After a few seconds, he stopped. "Hey. You okay?"

Shin didn't say anything for a second. "Oh huh! I…I guess."

"Well, this might make you feel better, we have another roommate." Said Tyler. That got Shin's attention. "Who is it?"

"I don't know, but I heard his deck is similar to Zane Truesdale. So he has to be good." Said Tyler. The two boys finished eating and headed over to their dorm room.

The boys headed in and saw a boy around 17 with straight silver hair, a blue vest, a red undershirt, and blue pants. He was unpacking. "Hey." Said Shin. The male turned and saw the boys. "Oh hey, I'm Cyrus Cyber."

Then, the announcements came on. "All students please report to the Obelisk Arena."

Everyone was at the arena along with the staff and the chancellor. He came up to the mic. "Welcome everyone. The reason I called you here is to treat you all to one amazing duel. Cyrus Cyber will duel against Reese Spinster." The called duelists walked up to the stage and activated their duel disk. They drew their starting hand.

"DUEL!" Yelled the two.

"I'll begin if you don't mind." Said Cyrus.

"Go ahead." Said Reese. Cyrus drew a card.

"I set 1 card and summon Giant Rex in attack mode." A brown dinosaur with a green fin thing appeared. (ATK: 2000)

"My turn." Said Reese. He drew a card.

"I summon Zombrya the Dark." A warrior with a purple cape appeared. (ATK: 2100)

"Is that all?"Asked Cyrus. Reese smiled. I'll win in one turn. I activate Battle Confrontation. This Spell is a very powerful spell card. This card is the only one in the world and could only be won in a tournament. Anyway, this spell reduces our life pts to 100."

"What!" Said Cyrus. "But see…my monster must attack your monster, so this duel is over, go!" Said Reese.

Cyrus: 0
Reese: WINNER

The chancellor came up to the mic. "Incredible! Reese had took the win in only one turn! And in only two moves! I have never seen a short duel like that before!"

Reese started walking away. He then dialed a number and a female's voice could be heard. "Hello?"

"Its me. I didn't duel him. The duelist was chosen randomly." Said Reese. A sigh could be heard over the phone. "Okay, just find the kid and defeat him. He will ruin our plans if we don't do something." The woman hung up. Reese looked at Cyrus. "You will be defeated." He left.

Back at the red dorm, Shin, Tyler and Cyrus were talking. "Aw man! That was rough!" Said Tyler. Cyrus chuckled and pulled the Trap from his duel disk. He showed it to the guys. They were shocked. "But! Isn't that….?" Asked Tyler.

"Yes, the reason I didn't use it was to make Reese believe he was better. I can tell he's up to something evil, for some reason." Said Cyrus.

"I'm going to take a breather; I'll see you guys later." Said Shin leaving.

Shin was walking through the forest when he saw Reese and a female dueling. He quickly got behind a tree and watched. Reese chuckled. "Looks like we have a visitor." The female slightly looked at the tree Shin was behind, without getting spotted, and smiled. "Well, let's show him who's the best."

"Fine then, let's go!" Yelled Reese.

Reese: 4000
?: 4000

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Reese snapped his fingers and a dome of darkness appeared.

"I'll begin with a summon. Holy Beast of Darkness in DEF mode." (DEF: 2100) "I set 3 cards and activate Quick Summon. This Spell let me summon another monster; Mist of Darkness." (ATK: 1000)

"Go."

"You've always played weak and now it'll be your downfall, draw!" Said the female. She drew.

"I summon Black Knight Arion in attack mode." A black knight wearing a fur coat holding an axe appeared. Reese growled at the monster summoned. "You do remember this monster, Reese?" Asked the female joking. (ATK: 1700)

"That monster must be powerful!" Said Shin to himself.

"I can discard my top 2 cards and pay 800 Life PTS to summon up to 2 "Black Knights" from my hand." Said the female.

"I summon Knight Raimon and Black Knight Shadow Dragon." (ATK: 1000) (ATK: 2200)

"When Raimon is summoned, I can destroy your Beast of Darkness and draw 1 card."

"Then, Shadow Dragon's effect let's summon another "Black Knight" from my hand, so I summon Black Knight Raima." (ATK: 1600)

"And his effect destroys your first face down and I can draw 1 card and I can draw another card due to the effect of Shadow Dragon."

"This duel is over, Black Knights, attack!"

"Not yet! I activate Mirror Force, destroying all of your monsters." Yelled Reese. "Nooo!" Yelled the female. All of her monsters were obliterated. "Grrr…you'll regret that, I activate Time Reverse. This is a Spell that turns back time to the last phrase, so I get all my monsters back and they can attack again, so go and don't fail me!" The female's monsters rushed In to attack but another barrier shield appeared and destroyed them. "Just like déjà vu, isn't it?" Asked Reese smiling.

But then, the female started laughing evilly. "Not quite, I activate another Time Reverse." Reese's eyes widen. "No!"

The female's monster reappeared and struck Reese, knocking him down unconscious.

Reese: 0
Female: WINNER

The female walked over to the knocked out Reese and held out her hand. A yellow dusty color ball was being sucked from Reese's body into the female's hand. "My work here is done."

The female was about to walk away, but she turned at the tree and smiled. "So…how'd you like my duel?" Shin was surprised. He thought he was sneaky. "Next time, I'll duel you myself, see ya." The female walked away. Shin ran out of the forest, back to his room. He ran into his room but found no one in there. "Guys?" Shin then found a note. He opened it and read it.

"If you want to see Tyler again, then come tomorrow to the pier and we'll see if you are the best."

Shin crumpled up the paper and ran off to the pier. At the pier, Shin saw Tyler being pointed by a gun. The holder? Some big fat guy. The female from earlier stood at the end of the pier. "So, you came?"

"When did you come into my room and leave that letter?" The female chuckled. "I knew you would walk through the forest, so earlier I wrote that and left it on your desk." The female activated her duel disk. "Well, let's get started. I need to capture your spirit, then go rest."

"There's a problem. I'm not going to let you." Said Shin. He activated his duel disk.

"Let's duel!" Yelled the two.

Shin: 4000
Female: 4000

"By the way, I'm Ilene." Said the female.

"Whatever, I'll begin this duel, draw!" Said Shin. He drew.

"I summon Stealth the Hedgehog." A blue hedgehog with blue gloves appeared. (ATK: 1500)

"His ability lets me attack you directly, even if it's the first turn, so attack!" Stealth turned invisible and struck Ilene.

Ilene: 2500
Shin: 4000

"I set 1 card and end."

"That was nothing, but THIS…this is something." Said Ilene. She drew.

"I summon Black Knight Arion in attack mode. Remember him?" The axe carrying black knight reappeared. (ATK: 1700)

"And you do remember his effect? I can discard the top 2 cards and pay 800 pts to summon my Black Knight Raimon and Knight Yoio." (ATK: 1000) (ATK: 1600-Tuner)

Ilene: 1700
Shin: 4000

"And Raimon's effect activates. I can destroy your Stealth and draw 1 card. But then, I tune Yoio with Arion to summon Black Knight Armbleedon." (ATK: 3200)

"This duel was nothing, finish this!" The Black Knights went in to attack…

"You didn't win that easily! I activate Hallowed Life Barrier. I can discard 1 card and all Battle Damage is reduced to 0." Twoe women with blue cloaks on appeared and summoned a barrier.

Shin: 4000
Ilene: 2500

"I set 1 card and end." Said Ilene. Shin smiled. "Is something funny?" Asked Ilene.

"Oh. I just find it funny that you have to use all your strength against a stronger opponent." Said Shin. Ilene made an annoyed face. "I'll have the last laugh."

"Really? Maybe, draw!" Yelled Shin. He drew.

"I summon Silver the Hedgehog in attack mode." A hedgehog appeared similar to Sonic appeared, except this one was silver. (ATK: 1800)

"Silver's effect, once per turn, let's me take control of any monster you control, so I want your Armbleedon." Silver used his mind to control Armbleedon.

"This duel is really over now. Guys, finish her!" Silver and Armbleedon rushed in to attack…

"I'm not a force to underestimate, I activate Paths of Good and Evil. This Trap Is powerful. All cards on the field are sent to the graveyard, and then we both draw cards equal to the number of our cards destroyed, so I draw 1 card and you draw 2 cards."

"But then, we get to summon any monster in our hands. So I summon the Black Knight Yumaia in Attack mode." (ATK: 700-
Tuner)

"Another tuner?" Thought Shin.

"Fine, I can't summon a monster, but I can set 2 cards face down and end."

"This duel is over, draw!" Yelled Ilene. She drew.

"I summon Black Knight Falcromo in attack mode." (ATK: 1000)

"Then, I tune my knights together to summon Frozen White Dragon." (ATK:2000)

"And when this Dragon is summoned, all Spell and Trap cards are returned to your hand. Next, I use Darkness Boost to give Frozen Dragon 2000 ATK PTS, so finish Shin off!"

Shin: 500
Ilene: 2500

Ilene was flabbergasted. "Why aren't you defeated!"

Shin held up a card. "You returned my Insurance card and when its returned to my hand, I gain 500 points, so I gain 500 pts."

"Go." Said Ilene.

"You kidnapped my friend and you're going to pay with this!" Yelled Shin. He drew.

"I summon Sonic the Hedgehog in attack mode." The blue hedgehog wearing white gloves appeared. (ATK: 1900)

"Then, I activate Power Ring. This gives Sonic 1000 ATK PTS and he gains the ability to attack directly, so let's end this!" (ATK: 2900)

Sonic rushed in and kicked Ilene.

Ilene: 0
Shin: WINNNER

Ilene was on her hand and knees. "Looks like you've won. But let me warn you: I am nothing compared to the Numbers." Her spirit left her and flew off somewhere unknown. She collapsed.

"What is going on here?" Shin asked himself.

"You'll see me again, punk." Said the fat guy disappearing.

"Shin!" Cried Tyler. Shin ran to Tyler. "You okay man?"

"Dude, what's going on and who are the Numbers Ilene spoke of?" Asked Tyler.

"I don't know man. Let's get back to the dorm. Cyrus is probably wondering where we are." Said Shin. The two headed back.
