The Digital Gate: Thank you for your reviews. I'm not sure if I did the duel correctly, so sorry if there are any mistakes. And I didn't notice the relation between 'Daiyou' and "Dieyou'. Vaemon is basically a griffin with no beak.
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
Daiyoumon, Lopmon, Terriermon, Vaemon, Henry, Suzy, Syrus and the Ojama brothers had replaced themselves to get a better view while staying back, out of the way.
"You first," Rishou yawned.
Chazz frowned. "Fine," he snapped, drawing a card. He glanced at it; glanced at his cards in his hand and selected one. "I summon Armed Dragon LV3 (Attack: 1200 Defense: 900) to the field!" Chazz paused, thinking things through. "And I end my turn," he finished lamely.
Rishou raised an eyebrow. "That's it? Well, if you insist." He slid the top card off of his deck, placed it in his deck, and chose a different one. "I play the magic card, Opposites Summoning. If I have two monster cards in my hand whose elements are opposing ones, I get to summon both. I choose Dragon of Electricity (Attack: 1550 Defense: 1500) and Dragon of Water (Attack: 1700 Defense: 1600)."
Rishou flipped the cards over, momentarily showing the pictures, before placing them on his borrowed duel disk. "And when these two dragons are on the field, I can summon the third wheel, Dragon of Earth (Attack: 1400 Defense: 1100), from wherever he is. Grave, hand, deck, whatever." Another card shot out and Rishou placed it next to the other cards.
There were now a total of three dragons on Rishou's side of the field. One looked like it was made up of water with two glowing aquamarine eyes; one was sparking with electricity; one looked as if it was on fire.
Suzy, from the sidelines, looked shocked. "He summoned three monsters in one turn. That's inhuman."
"Chazz is already at a bad start," Syrus added.
Chazz glowered at them before staring across the field. I don't have Armed Dragon LV5 in my hand, and if Rishou chooses to attack, I'll loose. No...I can't loose!
Rishou looked bored. "I can't attack since Opposites Summoning doesn't allow me to, so I'll play a card face down and end my turn."
"My move." Chazz glanced at his card. His eyes widened. Armed Dragon LV5. Just what I needed. Out loud, he said: "I sacrifice Armed Dragon LV3 to summon Armed Dragon LV5 (Attack: 2400 Defense: 1700) in it's place." Rishou still looked bored; not the least bit scared. "And now I use Armed Dragon's special ability--"
"I use the trap card 'Blockage Payment'," Rishou cut him off. "By paying half my life points, I can eliminate an opponent's monster's ability and attack for one turn."
"What?"
"You heard me. End your turn?" Rishou asked.
Chazz spat his words out: "I end it."
Rishou, once again, looked completely bored. He had just finished summoning 5 different dragons onto the field (Dragon of Water, Dragon of Electricity, Dragon of Fire, Dragon of Earth (Attack: 1500 Defense: 1300), Dragon of Wind (Attack: 1400 Defense: 1000)) and had just finished his turn. He stared on blankly; his life points at 1000 after Armed Dragon LV5 scored a hit on Dragon of Earth. He had revived the dragon though.
Chazz, on the other hand, only had Armed Dragon LV7 out on the field with 1600 life points after Rishou managed to reverse the affect of Armed Dragon LV5's attack and it hit him as a direct attack instead. Chazz's dragon's special ability no longer worked with the combined affect of his opponent's dragons. He stared at his cards, trying to figure out a way to win. Rishou's skills are rusty? As if.
"If you aren't going to do anything, then end your turn already," Rishou's bored voice called out.
Chazz didn't answer.
"Go boss!" Ojama Yellow yelled. "We know you can do it!"
Chazz twitched. Annoying monsters...Annoying duel...Annoying--
"Hey doofus!" Suzy's voice broke through his thoughts. "What're you doing? Hoping to lose? Because you're doing a great job of it!"
Chazz snapped around and glared at the Tamer. His nerves were already worked up. "No, I'm not!"
"It's hard to tell!" Suzy snapped back. "Your dueling stinks."
"It's not like you can duel any better!" Chazz retorted.
"Bet I can."
"Can not! I duel better than you. I can even beat Rishou if I tried hard enough."
Suzy looked skeptical. "So you mean you haven't been trying?"
"That's not what I meant!" Chazz roared. "My point is, I can beat Rishou faster than you can!"
"So prove it," Suzy replied simply.
"I will!"
Suzy folded her arms across her chest. "Good."
Chazz paused. Wait...what? He had sworn he had caught a small flash of a smile.
She looked at him expectantly and raised an eyebrow. "Well?"
He turned back to his duel in response. He scanned his cards again and a plan began forming in his mind. "Armed Dragon LV7! Attack Dragon of Wind!" His monster obeyed at the opposing dragon drifted apart, leaving empty space on the field.
"I activate the trap card: Summoning of One," Rishou yawned. "It cancels any attack and adds the intended damage to my life points instead. I'm not even sure why I agreed to this duel," he added to himself, "it's boring. Really boring."
Chazz ignored him. "Your move."
"I suppose it is." Rishou glanced at his next card. "I activate the magic card Fusing Elements--"the dragons on his field began to merge together--"and summon Master Dragon of Elements (Attack: 2750 Defense: 1900)." A new dragon towered over the spectators and the opponent. It was black in color with five jewels studded on its neck; the jewels were red, yellow, green, gray, and blue in color. "And I end my turn."
Before Chazz could draw and begin his plan, a sudden rumbling shook the ground. He was thrown off-balance and his cards slipped out of his grasp. The holograms on the field vanished. "What the--"
Suddenly a bull-like Digimon charged into the light. It stopped, blinking in confusion before shaking itself and resumed charging. Suzy hastily analyzed the intruding Digimon. "Koorumon," she read. "Beast Digimon. Special Attack: Earthquake Thunder."
"I don't care what special attack it has!" Rishou snapped. "Daiyoumon, get rid of it!"
Daiyoumon obeyed, springing into action. "Claws of Steel!" he roared, bringing his right claw down into the earth. The earth split apart and a bolt of wind shot towards Koorumon.
The Digimon stopped, turned, and shouted, "Earthquake Thunder!" Koorumon brought his front legs up and rammed them into the ground. The earth, once again, split apart and this time wind, a jagged streak of lighting raced to meet the opposing attack. Daiyoumon took advantage of this moment.
"Destructing Tail!" he shouted, lashing his thick tail out. Koorumon tried to canter out of the way, but the tail managed to catch him. He tripped and skid, unable to stop, straight towards Chazz, who was in the middle pf picking his cards up from the ground.
"Move!" Suzy shouted and Chazz looked up in time to run frantically out of the way.
Chazz stared at Koorumon. That was too close.
Koorumon groaned and stood up, rage emitting from his body. "Earthquake...THUNDER!" Once again, Koorumon brought his front legs up and slammed them into the ground. This time, however, he did it with more force and the ground shook with the force of the impact. Chazz, who was nearby, fell over and almost lost his grip on his cards.
The ground split open again, but this time, it split into a large chasm. A gigantic lightning bolt sparking with electricity flashed towards Daiyoumon. Rishou seethed, threw his cards to the ground, and grabbed his digivce, black and red in color. "Digi-Modify!" he shouted. "Speed Activate!" Daiyoumon leaped into the air and charged towards Koorumon with newfound speed.
"Eliminating Flames!" Fire spurted out from Daiyoumon's mouth and enveloped Koorumon. When the flames decided to die down, Koorumon had disappeared into data, which Daiyoumon promptly absorbed.
In the midst of it all, Chazz saw Rishou leap towards Suzy, taking care to avoid Henry. Suzy was staring at Daiyoumon with a disgusted expression. Without thinking, Chazz picked his own digivice off the ground, grabbed two cards, placed one in the scanner, and slashed the other. Vaemon sprang into action.
A sword appeared and was grabbed by Vaemon's tail. The small Digimon took off and chucked the weapon just as Rishou was about to reach Suzy. The Assasin jerked out of the way.
Suzy finally came to her senses and stared at Rishou. "What do you want?"
Rishou didn't answer her and leaped backwards onto Daiyoumon instead. He glanced at Chazz as he spoke. "The duel is over. Be glad, Tamer, that I didn't have the chance to attack. If I had, you and that pathetic Digimon wouldn't be here. Just like Koorumon," he stated tonelessly as he crossed his arms, showing no emotion. Daiyoumon stomped away and Rishou could be heard saying, "Next time, if I have to use a card to help you, you'll be sorry."
"Yeesh! Attitude problem!" Terriermon frowned, placing his hands on his hips, wherever they were. "Henry, you should teach him manners, just like you taught me."
Lopmon looked puzzled. "Terriermon has manners?"
Henry shrugged. "I can't tell if he does or not."
"What just happened?" wondered Syrus.
"Uh...thanks," Suzy mumbled as she handed one of Chazz's cards. It had flown to her feet.
He stared at her suspiciously. "For what?"
"I saw Rishou, but didn't register him. I thought he was after something else. Vaemon was just beside me and I thought Rishou was aiming for him."
"Oh."
"So, er, looks like you finally figured the digivice out," Suzy noted hesitantly.
"Sort of."
"Well, uh, I think I better see if Henry is okay. Syrus too," added Suzy as she walked away.
Chazz stared at the digivice in his hands, then back at the retreating Tamer. "Suzy, wait!"
She turned back, looking confused. "What?"
He held out his digivice. "Could you...could you help me with this?" he rambled.
Yazuki banged his hand against the stone wall desperatly. "Let us out!" he yelled.
"Great. That stupid Digimon tricked us," snarled Rika, "and we're stuck here, doing absolutely nothing."
"Easy, Wildcat. We'll be able to think of something," Ryo answered, searching the room for a way out. "Cyberdramon, try to break this wall down. It seems weaker."
"He's already tried to break down the walls," Rika snapped in irritation.
"Not this one," Ryo replied. "Go for it."
Cyberdramon charged and crashed into the opposing wall. It shook for a while, but stayed steady. A voice came from the other side.
"Look, I know you're irritated at being caught--I am too--but that doesn't mean you need to bang on the walls every few seconds."
Yazuki whirled around and faced the wall. "Meinumon?"
"...Yazuki?"
Akuonimon glared. "You failed?
Rishou hastily bowed even lower. "A Digimon interrupted the battle and the battle, along with the Digimon, went out of control."
"That is no excuse."
"Sorry. I'll try again--" Rishou began when Akuonimon cut him off.
"There is no need for you to try again. I gave you a simple task. You failed it. Kobunmon brought Yazuki and other Tamers today. And he wasn't even ordered to." Akuonimon's voice held no mercy.
Rishou flinched. "But..." he began once again.
"Let me try," someone cut in.
Rishou glared at his rival. "Bug off," he hissed.
"Very well," Akuonimon rumbled, "and see to it that you don't fail. It will be embarrasing if two Assasins fail."
"Yes, sir." The other Assasin stood up and strode out, his Digimon partner tailing behind him.
TBC
The Digital Gate: Was the duel posted correctly? I can't remember Chazz's deck that well. And sorry that Rika says, "Stupid." I couldn't think of anything else.
