Chapter 7: Duel with the Starlight King Part 1

"No way, is that Tails down there?" Tanner asked. "What in the world happened to him?" Akiza asked.

Suddenly Nightmare Penguin,Chaos Sorcerer, Deep Sea Warrior , Judge Man, and Skull Knight came out of no where. "Heh heh so you want to challenge the king?" Judge Man asked laughing.

"I must warn you that the king is invisible." Skull Knight spoke. "Wait I want to know how you Duel Monsters entered our world?" Luna asked.

"That doesn't concern you little girl." Nightmare Penguin answered "Yeah besides you humans wouldn't stand a chance against the king." Deep Sea Warrior said smirking. " Our king is undefeatable!" Chaos Sorcerer yelled. "Look what did you do to Tails?" Akiza asked angrily.

The five monsters stayed silent for second and were just about to attack when they heard the king calling out to them:

"My servants let's go!"

"Hmm you're lucky that the king needs us so we'll let you go for now." Skull Knight spoke as he and other monsters vanished.

Yusei and his friends went back to the hospital wondering at what happened to their friend Miles.

Akiza began to think but then something occurred to her head.

Flashback scene.

"Misty you were going to use me, weren't you? Tails asked letting out tears.

"In that case I'm out of here!" He said as he stormed off.

End of flashback.

"Um everyone I think I know what happened to Miles." Akiza answered.

The gang looked at her.

She knew that Tanner, Yanagi and the twins are probably aware about what happened at the Arcadia Movement but Yusei, Mina and her parents don't.

So she told her them about what at there.

"What you mean Misty Tredwell the number one super model?" Mr Izinski asked. Akiza nodded.

"Oh my I'm guessing that Tails was hurt after realizing that Misty was a Dark Signer." Ms Izinski said.

Luna then spoke: Being used by Misty broke his heart."

Tanner spoke next: Yeah he ran off in tears."

Last one to speak was Leo: I'm not an expert on love but from the way Tails reacted, he wasn't very thrilled to see Misty as a Dark Signer."

"Hey Yusei what about the Dark Signers we need to stop them too." Yanagi responded.

"I know but Tails needs to be stopped so I suggest we team up and stop him from destroying the people of New Domino City."

They nodded.

Tanner then spoke: I'll duel him."

"No Tanner you may be a great duelist but.." Yusei was cut off by Jack.

"Yusei if you're thinking of dueling Tails then forget it we need you to lead us so we can defeat the Dark Signers." He said.

"Jack's right Yusei we need you to help us defeat so guys." Leo said agreeing with Jack's statement. Yusei sighed but knew they were right.

"Very well but Tanner be careful." He answered as Tanner nodded.

Back in a dark hideout in the center of Satellite.

"What shall we do Roman about this Starlight King?" Kalin asked. "I say we just wait for Yusei and his friends to return. When they beat this king they'll be on their way here to stop us." He replied.

"I suppose we must." Carly said.

Back in New Domino City.

Tanner and the gang made their way to the castle. The Starlight King was out waiting for them along with his loyal Duel Monsters.

"So you guys came I figured you would." The king answered.

Tanner stepped in.

"I'm your opponent so let's go." He yelled.

"Tanner and the Starlight King activated their Duel Disks.

"Let's duel!" They said.

Starlight King:4000

Tanner: 4000

"I'll go first king I summon a new monster Goblin Attack Force!" Tanner said.

"Next I'll activate the magic card Double Summon thanks to this card I can summon another monster and I choose the Tuner monster Jutte Fighter!" Tanner said.

"Now I tune my Jutte Fighter with my Goblin Attack Force to Synchro Summon Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth."

Gaia Knight the Force of Earth: 2600

"2600 attack points very cool Tanner just synchro summoned on his first turn." Leo said amazed.

"I end my turn with a face down card." Tanner said. "Thanks to my Spider Web castle I'll be able to cut his monsters attack points in half. He thought.

"I draw then and I summon Star Space Knight in attack mode." He called out.

Star Space Knight: 1800

"A Star Space monster Yusei have you heard of that before?" Yanagi asked. "I'm not sure that card's name is new to me." He replied

"Yeah but his monster is lower than Gaia's so I guess the king isn't powerful after all." Leo smirked. The king smirked also.

"I activate the magic card Space Summon!" The king said. "What?" Tanner asked out loud.

"You see if I can only activate this card if I control a Star Space Monster on my field also this cards allows me to summon a monster from my hand or deck and finally the monster I can summon can be a monster that has same number of stars that you have on your side of the field and I choose Star Space Dragon!" He said.

Star Space Dragon: 2700

"No way 2700 attack points!" Akiza proclaimed. "Nice move king but when my trap card activates your monster won't stand a chance." Tanner said to himself.

"I activate Star Space Dragon's special ability!" Tail said. "What?" Tanner said.

"You see my Dragon has the power to destroy all your trap cards but my dragon can only do that once per turn by sending a one Star Space Monster to the graveyard from my deck. The king explained. "So I send my Star Space Wolf to the grave in return my Dragon gets to destroy your only remaining face down card." The king spoke.

The Space Dragon flapped his wings at Tanner's face down card which was a trap and it was destroyed.

"Noo!" Tanner screamed.

"Oh no!" Luna yelled. "Double oh no now Tanner can't use any traps unless he destroys Star Space Dragon." Mina said.

"Now Star Space Dragon attack his Gaia with Star blast!" Miles commanded.

The Dragon blew a bunch of stars at Gaia that it was destroyed.

Tanner: 3900

"Now Star Space Knight attack Tanner directly!" The king commanded. The star knight took out a silver sword and slashed Tanner.

"Aaah!" Tanner screamed.

Yusei and his friends gasped.

Tanner: 2100

"I end my turn with one face down card." The king said placing a card face down.

"It's my turn I draw. I just hope this card can help me." Tanner said as he looked at the card he drew and smiled.

"I play continuous spell card Burden of the Might you see thanks to this card your monsters lose 100 attack points for it's own level for example your Star Space Dragon is a level six so it loses 600 attack points and your Star Space Knight is a level 4 monster so it loses 400 attack points.

Star Space Dragon: 2100

Star Space Knight: 1400

The king didn't flinched.

"I summon a warrior monster known as Blade Knight!" Tanner said.

Blade Knight: 1600

"Next I use Equip Spell Lighting Blade you see when I equip this card to a warrior monster it gains 800 attack points. "Also if I have one or no cards in my hand my Knight gets 400 attack points." Tanner explained

Blade Knight: 2800

"Now Blade Knght attack his Star Space Dragon!" Tanner commanded. The warrior monster sliced the dragons chest and caused it fall in defeat.

Starlight King: 3300

"Cool he destroyed the Star Space Dragon!" Luna said. "Thank goodness he made a comeback." Akiza sighed in relief.

Akiza's parents were relieved as well. "Oh my that Tanner guy is strong." Deep Sea Warrior said. "Don't worry the king will make a comeback too." Chaos Sorcerer said. "Yeah the king is invisible!" Nightmare Penguin proclaimed. "True Tanner just got lucky." Skull Knight muttered. "I would like to clobber those humans with my spike clubs" Judge Man mumbled.

"Next I'll end my turn with a face down card." Tanner said. "Thank's to my Gravity Bind Trap all monster with four level stars or higher won't able to attack. So that should by me sometime" He said to himself.

Ms. Izinski ran behind Tanner. "Tails please stop this!" She begged. Tails looked at her. "It's me your mother and dad's here too!" She called out.

Tanner looked back at the king. The king began to laugh. "You fools I have no parents I'm the Starlight King and I'm going to rule New Domino City!" He yelled.

"Argh look's like Tails parents words aren't getting through to him." Yusei thought. "maybe when Starlight King is defeated Tails will be back to normal." Jack thought.

End of chapter with cliffhanger.
