A chaotic dragon flying in front of a rider on a motorcycle, steadily pushing back on him. A black pit like opening just behind him, seeming to be connected to nothing, as it sits in wait like a lid.
Chapter four: the decision of Craig's life…
Kensho: 3800, Craig: 101
Kensho: "hurry up and make your move." Kensho crosses his arms and rides without using his hands, looking back through his side mirror to see Craig, the wheels of his bike seeming to make slight wobbles as the attack from the monk seemed to have done their trick.
Craig in thought: 'guys… I don't know how I will ever pull through this one… but if you guys play through these types of techniques all the time…'
Craig: "then so can I!!!" finishing his thought it actual verse seemed to get him some blank stares, demonic looks of question were noticeable as they all flash by, the crowd of monsters all seeming to blend together.
Kensho: "quit talking to yourself and get on with it"
Craig: "Draw!" quickly sliding a card out from the holster, it is flicked up to reveal the text… "I summon apprentice of sword in attack mode!" the small boy, seemingly in his early teens is summoned, wearing a brown leather overcoat and a small knife, holding it in a reverse fashion the blade pointed at the ground. (earth/3stars/warrior/atk1000/def1000). "since you gave me so much insight about your monsters power, my warrior will not be effected by your dragon's effect! Its continuous effect is that it gains attack points equal to all warrior type monsters combined level in my hand by two hundred points (200) for every star they have!" craig reveals that he has goblin attack force in his hand (four stars)… "that means that apprentice gains eight hundred attack points, bringing him up to par with your dragon!"
Kensho doesn't respond to his claim of new found power and simply allows him to continue his turn.
Craig: "well since you didn't respond, I guess ill just force you to. Apprentice of sword, attack!" the little kid seems to flash the dragon, as he opens his overcoat to reveal a huge amount of knives that seem to shoot out from within, slicing the dragons arm off, the body exploding, and the arm falling to crush the kid. Both explode as the crowds excitement builds, with it, their volume as well.
Goblin: "oh what a turn of events! Both of our combatants ace cards are not gone! Who has more resolve? I don't know about anyone else but I would place my bet on our runner up!"
Craig: "ugh… damn guy. Its not like I lost already." looking back at Kensho who is still in front of him, since the lightning vortex dealt damage… 'but if I don't end this soon I might have no choice.'
The pieces of the dragon, and the kid are sucked up by the hole behind Craig.
Kensho: "doesn't mean a thing… in fact it just sealed your fate!" Kensho is motioned to draw due to the announcement on his duel runner screen saying craig ended turn. "now… I activate mystical space typhoon! This allows me to destroy one spell or trap on the field. Say goodbye five star duelist!"
Craig: "no!" the card beside him face down is blown into pieces and sucked up by the hole behind him the vortex being consumed as well.
Kensho: "and when you lose… don't go blaming dead draws you NOOB!!! Now, banisher of the light, finish him!" the monk raises his finger, shooting a bright beam…
__________________________________________________________________________________
Andrew, and Justin at once: "CRAIG!!!"
The beam hits, a bright flash of smoke hits and the sound of demons and monsters alike chant as the end of the duel emanates through the coliseum. Craigs life points moving down to one outside of the blast of smoke.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Kensho: "well, this has been quite a disappointment." the rider slows down and places his feet out, ready to stop…
Craig: "I don't know how…" Craigs front wheel peers through the front of the white smoke, as it rolls back to reveal his hands still on the handles and the power still on the bike. "but im still in this GAME!!!!"
Kensho looking back, nearly crashing around the turn: "impossible!" he watches as craig wheelies out of the smoke and back beside him, life point indicator still at one.
Kensho: 3801, Craig 1
Justin: "what? Wait, I must have not seen something. Did craig activate anything?" looking to Bryan getting a shake of his head. "then how did…" Justin looks to the goblins announcement seat above, and notices it empty. "then him!"
Kensho: "no matter, in order to win ill have to decrease them to zero then." points directly at craig "if you surrender, then you wont have to die!"
Craig: "surrendering is just something I cannot do." craig draws a card revealing it. "I activate the card 'rewield'! this allows me to pick two cards in my hand, the only two cards I have left, add them into the deck and draw two more, increasing my life points by one thousand points for each." he then places them in different spots in the deck and allows it to shuffle, ejecting two cards enough to be pulled by craigs fingers.
Kensho: "no matter how many times you draw, you cannot win!"
Craig: "your half right… see, I wouldn't want to draw any more. I already have the winning hand." craig lifts one hand into the air to reveal another spell "I activate heroes from another dimension. This allows me to add two warriors that were removed back into the graveyard. I move dark blade the holy, and apprentice of swords back into the grave. next I activate Durudal's Sacred Law, I remove apprentice from play, and special summon my ace BACK to the field."
Kensho grits his teeth as he sees the monster get re-summoned to the field.
Craig: "can your ace do that?" craig smiles and continues using his only logical move he has left. "now, attack!"
The black armored warrior takes his second charge, savoring the moment he avenges his masters… no his friends life point loss.
Kensho: "gyah!!!" the force of the blast sends Kensho's bike into the wall, and smashing his leg. Taking twenty six hundred points of damage (2600), falling to twelve hundred (1200).
Craig: "and next, his ability takes place. Since he destroyed a monster, its attack points are taken out of you as well."
The black armored warrier sheathed his sword, a red slash appearing out of no where and dealing another one hundred as the warrior turned his back to smile at craig 'thanks m… friend.'.
Craig: "no prob" places his hand on the back of his neck and smiles widely, almost crashing into the inside wall of the race track.
The warrior places his hand over his face and shakes his head in disbelief. His shoulders jumping up and down, to what seems as though is a laugh.
Kensho: 1101 , Craig: 2001
Kensho: "if you are just about done clowning around, I believe I will take my turn." Kensho draws his card, whipping his head as to get the silvery bang out of his left eye. "draw!" he places the card drawn into his hand (3) and picks out another one "I sacrifice my monster for kaius the light monarch!" the white robed monk bursts into light particles that reform under the cloak and becomes a gian golden shining armored warrior. (6stars/light/warrior/atk2400/def1000) "now with his effect, I can choose up to two cards on the field and destroy them. But since there is only one I wish to destroy I will choose your warrior!" dark blade the holy is shattered as a column of light erupts around him. Vaporizing him in front of craigs eyes.
Craig: "uh! Not again.."
Kensho: "unfortunately, and fortunately for you, I cannot attack with him the same turn he is summoned. And due to him destroying your card, you get to draw a brand new one." no sooner than he says this craig forcefully draws another card.
Craig in thought: 'wow… is this professional play? Eh.. Not like I havent taken out guys with bigger monsters, but he keeps coming with more of them.'
Craig looks into the stands and loses himself in his thoughts for a good minute.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Back in the stands…
Justin: "cheap dirty….." Justin starts to rant at the sight of the monarch, as the others converse about whether their friend will prevail. (the next parts with '…' in them will be Justin's ranting.)
Bryan: "he wont pull through if he isn't careful. A thestalos would kill him right now. I guess we should be thankful for that I guess…"
'freaking, repetitive…'
Andrew: "right, but so long as he still has that one life point…"
Zorha: "not that I am complaining that he hasn't lost yet, wouldn't it be better if he had?" saying this gets some confused looks from Bryan and Andrew, Justin still in a fist clenched mood.
Bryan: "why would that be better?"
Zorha: "well, in this case, if his life points were to fall to zero, then he would be lost here forever. That is how this place works after all…
'if I see another one of those dumb…'
Bryan: "I say he should give up while he still can… if this guy is as good as people say he is, then…" just then Justin bursts into a loud shout.
Justin: "BRING 'EM ON!!!!! Ill take every single one of those stupid monarchs down!!!" this last bit was observed mostly by some monsters nearby in the stands. A couple showing Justin a monarch card, getting him to start fist fights in the stands. The others simply kept talking and stayed out of the way.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Craig: 'I wont want to be the first one … no… I don't want any of us to lose. But I also don't want to die here.'
Kensho hangs his head down and looks back up to Craig "listen, you gave me a good duel. But I seriously do not want to have to take your life here. Just throw in the towel. I know you wouldn't want any people close to you, to know you threw it all away for some tournament."
Saying this seemed to snap Craig out of thought, and a wide eyed look about him.
What does this mean for Craig? What will this mean for the duel? Will he win, or will he give up, all to be revealed next chapter!
