Long chapter warning
I really have to mark somewhere what cards I've used and what I have left.
I'm taking Mirror force out of the deck, it's for one of my made up cards, and you'll know when you see it. (I'll put it in when we get to that bridge) and Also Quick summon is going, to be replaced by another of my made up cards
Now normally I don't think you would do a duel like it's been done in here.
And, please, read Rowan5255's stories, YuGiOh! RL season 1: the tournament and 2: the fusion of two, if not for me, for Justin
Chapter 7: Mysterious reports, fun duel
The trip on the ferry took about 2 days. The trip was actually quite enjoyable, and we all made fools of ourselves during Karaoke. (I'll admit to ruining Sleeping with the lights on, but I don't think you'll want to know what the other two murdered) after that, James and I did two days, solid, of driving/riding through America through the American countryside, starting off from the east coast (I think the town we docked in was called Boston, I'm not one hundred percent on that)
The weather compared to England was great, a lot more sun, a lot less clouds and everything great. The roads were great, no traffic, and even when there was we could just go around them. I set the D-wheel up to follow James's car, which was quite easy actually, I just laid back on the bike and let the wind relax me, the barren landscape around me was quite entertaining.
I wish that was true, but I had a call from Simon as I got comfortable. I stayed in my relaxed position, answering the call.
"What's up, Kidd?" I asked him, answering the phone.
"James wants you to turn channel 23 on in your helmet" he replied
"Channel 23?"
"Duel central" I heard James say on the other end of the phone.
"Apparently a Bio of J.W is being shown" I heard Jack say.
"Thanks" I told him, finishing the call.
Channel 23…I never knew James put TV in this helmet thing. I flicked through the menu, finding TV in the options, accessing it and finding Channel 23 was the only thing in there. I opened it, seeing a loading screen and waiting.
Once it had finished loading, it showed a massive picture of J.W along with his angel. I heard someone in the background…
"J.W has been in the professional circuit for 2 years" it was a woman's voice who explained it. "He came from an obscure past with his trademark white clothes and gold helmet. No one has seen his face and all we can think of in explanation is he is brutally scared" I kinda laughed as she said this, as this would just make it look better for him.
"His deck includes monsters under the angel theme, which really only explains a third of his deck. The other two thirds haven't been seen in any of his. His illustrious career includes the defeat of Dark Warrior Duke of America, who had reigned as king for 10 years, holding his title against Light Bound Trevor of Canada, Defending himself from Magician Huak Dae Moon of South Korea, fighting off the physical assault and duel against Sharman Shimao Kong of China and extinguishing the hopes of Flame Queen Elaine Martia of South Africa"
"Apparently, the Angel winged J.W has invited a brand new duellist to this months 'Ocean Star' cup, if he has done that, then he must see potential in this challenger, and we must find out who he is for the 'in depth report' tomorrow night"
"And in other Yugioh related news, Craig Appleby, The black knight of duelling, (It showed a picture of me with my hand commanding an attack, Darkblade and Silveneste behind me) Simon Kidd, the Trust and honour champion (The picture changed to Simon with his Life bond Dragon and Legendary rider of justice), and Ryan Watson, Regional champion of the Lincolnshire area of England and fighter for glory (It then showed Ryan with a few Synchro monsters behind him, namely Junk warrior and Colossal fighter), are apparently in America and heading towards the Ocean Star cup. Maybe one of these three is the chosen duellist J.W invited, either way we shall try to get an interview"
I laughed a bit more after this, thinking that I had gotten quite a bit of fame in 6 months. 'The black knight of duelling'…yeah, that's quite a good name actually seeing as though my deck is mainly warriors. Simon's 'trust and honour champion' was a good name, seeing as though he puts his trust in the cards to get him through anything. Ryan…well, he did have a bad name, I'll admit, but it did suit him, he did want glory after all.
"After 2 months of searching, it appears that young Micelle Tiemaill of Russia has vanished, police searched all over the world for this young prodigy with no success" I pricked my ears up as I heard this. "Her last known location was the 'Duel academy' set in Hawaii. Local police forces have told us that 'her disk went dead around 5:30 PM in the Obelisk Blue Dorm; we believe that it may have been damaged in the incident and suspect kidnapping…however the disk still remains unfound'"
I turned the TV off, refocusing on the road, I chose to ring up Simon again, going through the list and showing it as active. As soon as I started connecting, he answered.
"Did you hear the bit after J.W?" I asked him, meaning Micelle.
"Yeah, I can't believe we're already famous" he told me, I could hear cheers in the car.
"No, not that bit" they silenced after that. "The bit about Micelle"
"Who?"
Great, they obviously turned the TV off after seeing about us being famous…well it was something to be proud of in six months, I'll grant them that. I told them the story about the kid going missing; they didn't interrupt me as I told them. I wouldn't be surprised they were worried as well, a fellow duellist around our age…it could have been any of us.
"I hope she is ok" I told them, listening to them talk a bit about it.
"One of the things that is bugging me" James started; I listened intently as he spoke. "If the disk was damaged, surely she would have taken it in for repairs"
"I think I can see where this is going" Jack said.
"If this is going to lead to a massive cliché then I'll duel Craig" I heard Ryan say…if he did I'd enjoy it.
"Actually for once, no" James told him…I think we were all expecting him to say something like 'shadow games' or 'duels were you wager your soul' or even 'psychic duels were injuries are common' "There have been reports lately about champion bound duellists having to fight off attacks from mysterious opponents. If they lose, they are out the tournament, if they win…well, no one knows as no one has won"
"I guess we will be the first to find out" I told them, confidently. "We have trust, faith, strength and friendship to beat whoever it is that is doing this"
I heard the guys going 'yeah' after I said that, giving each other high fives. I didn't mind missing out, just enjoying the moment, I pulled out my extra deck, looking at Darkblade and Silveneste…I had a third card that I had yet to bring out onto the field, Lightblade the Chaotic (6, 2400, 2100) it was basically Darkblade's opposite with a black sword and silver shield along with golden armour, his hair was black.
"Hey James" I started, keeping the call going. "Did you bring your D-wheel along?"
"No, sorry" he answered, this did kinda annoy me as I wanted to give Ryan a quick duel.
"Why not just duel me using a normal duel where I'm in the boot and you're on the bike?" Ryan told me. It was a smart idea, if not a tad risky.
"May as well do, just get the boot open and we'll get started"
The call ended there. I watched Ryan climb over to the boot and lift it up, his duel disk active. Simon and Jack went alongside, strapping things down. I pulled my disk off the D-wheel, making sure that it would keep moving. I pulled it onto my arm, letting it engage before putting the deck in.
"Let's go" I told Ryan, watching him smile. We both drew five cards, looking at what we had. I had drawn Scrap Iron Scarecrow, Pot of Greed, Dunames dark witch, Magic thorn and Robbin' goblin. A brilliant hand in my opinion, I looked at Ryan, seeing him smile as well. This ought to be a good duel.
"I'll start things off" Ryan told me, drawing a card. He smiled even more as he looked at it. "I'll place two face downs…" he started, putting down the cards in question. "Then I place a monster in defence mode and end my turn" I watched the card appear on the field, thinking that maybe it was a trap of some kind.
"My move then" I drew a card, looking at it, Harpies feather duster, perfect. "I play Harpies feather duster, to remove all traps and spells on your side of the field" I watched as I activated the card, watching a tornado with feathers flying out of it, hitting the two cards and shattering into a million pieces. We both put the cards into the graveyard; I smiled as I thought of a plan. "I continue with pot of greed, to draw two cards"
I put the spell into the grave, pulling two cards out of my deck. Chaos Synchron (2, 400, 1300, it looks like a soldier of some sort.) and Prince of the fallen Kingdom level 3. I looked at the field and my hand, thinking about his face down monster. "I place down 3 face downs" I told him, putting down Magic thorn, Robbin' Goblin and Scrap Iron Scarecrow. "Then I summon Prince of the fallen Kingdom Level 3!"
I put the warrior onto the field, watching the blue garbed warrior rise with his iron sword in one hand. He looked upset….well, I guess I would be if I was a prince and my kingdom fell.
"I'll end my turn there" I told him, I thought about the fact that my monster would promote and my traps would be extremely effective. I watched Ryan draw another Card, Jack and Simon looking at the duel…just imagine what would happen if James went over a speed bump.
"I flip summon my monster, Axe raider!" he told me, I watched as I saw the monster appear on the field as he swung his axe round. "And I Summon Water Spirit in defence mode!" I watched the creature appear on the field, creating a body of water between me and it. "Go, Axe raider destroy the prince with mad Axe swing"
"Not so fast, go scrap metal scarecrow!" The card rises as the metal cross appears in front of the prince, the axe bounces off the iron, the owner falling back to repair it. I could see Ryan grunt as he knows he's done nothing.
"I'll place two face downs and end my turn there".
Update
Ryan: Axe raider, water spirit, two face downs
Craig: Prince of the fallen Kingdom, level 3, scrap iron scarecrow (face down), Magic thorn and Robbin' Goblin
I draw a card, starting off my turn.
"First off, after I draw, my prince promotes to level 5" I tell Ryan, watching my prince age and his sword get longer. (5, 2000, 1000) his blue hair gets a small diadem of some sort. I look at the card, finding double summon, perfect for this moment in time.
"Go, double summon!" I shout, placing the card on the field. "Now I can summon Dunames Dark witch and my Chaos Synchron to the field!" I place the cards down in attack mode, watching as the fairy flies alongside me. The soldier ran alongside, his red armour shining in the light. "And with that, I can activate Magic Thorn and Robbin' Goblin"
The cards flip up, and a goblin and thorn shoot out of them. The goblin jumped over to Ryan, standing in front of him. The thorn wrapped round his duel disk, getting ready to deal its damage. I didn't bother explaining how it worked, he already knew.
"And next, I'm going to tune Chaos synchron to my Dunames Dark witch!" I shout. The soldier jumps in front of the fairy, an arrow appearing from nowhere, hitting him in the chest. He falls to the 'ground' (Somehow floating along side the monster) the fairy kneels next to him, starting to use some of her magic on him. He turns into the rings, floating above the witch, the fairy flying into them.
"Redemption is a widely sought after thing, find your salvation on this field of battle!" I shout, the rings alongside me getting shot full of light. "Come forth, Lightblade the Chaotic!" the golden armoured warrior appears next to me, spinning around in the air and landing safely. He does look quite angry. I look at it in a bit more detail, seeing the armour marked a hell of a lot, it has symbols on the arms and legs. I looked at his eyes, seeing them coloured red. His hair was jet black, and his silver shield glistened in the sun
"Right, Lightblade, destroy Axe Raider!" I shout, my warrior running up to the axmen. "Secular Sword of Light!"
"Not so Fast, go face down card!" Ryan shouts, pointing to the face down, nothing happens. He looks surprised, so I think an explanation is in order.
"Lightblade is immune to unfriendly spells and traps that affect only one monster" I explain, looking at him. "So he can only be destroyed by traps like mirror force and spells like black hole, or in combat"
Lightblade makes some energy flow into his blade, making it glow a red colour. He slashes at Axe raider, shattering him into thousands of shards. Ryan's life points decrease by 700 to 3300, the goblin removes a card and puts it in the grave, and the thorn deals 500 more points of damage to 2800. "And I'll end it there, as I know that's a trap"
I can see his face; it's the face of panic, the face of worry. 2nd round and he was already on the back foot. He drew a card, smiling as he saw it.
"I play Double summon" he tell me, placing the card in the respective zone. "Now I bring out Speed warrior and Junk Synchron!"
I watch as the two monsters appear, the blue, speedy warrior and the junk covered machine. I had a feeling I knew what was coming.
"Now I tune the two together Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior!" I watched as Junk Synchron pulled a starter of some sort, engaging an engine in the junk. He turned into three rings, Speed warrior jumping into the middle of them. "Tides of trust and friendship rule fate. Defend the lives of your friends and comrades!"
A bright light emanates from the rings; I cover my eyes as it almost blinds me. Simon and Jack watch, smiling as they see the new monster.
"Synchro Summon!" he shouts, raising his hand up. "Junk Warrior, come forth!"
The warrior spins out of the light, floating over to Ryan's side. I only just noticed that my monsters are moving as if it were a riding duel; his acting like it was a normal duel. I looked at him as he thought about his next move.
"I'll leave it there" he told me, scratching his head. His warrior normally had 2600, but gain 400 more due to water spirit being lower then 3 stars, so 3000. I smiled as he did so…and I needed a good card right now and I wouldn't be surprised that he had a good trump card up his sleeve. You don't get to be regional champ without some kind of skill. I drew a card, watching my prince level up to 7. (7, 2500, 1000). His sword got a lot more…fancy and he got a long cape, revealing fine blue armour.
"You've got something planned, I know it" I told Ryan, looking at the card I had drawn. Magician of Faith, my favourite card in these situations.
"All I can do is place a face down monster and attack water spirit with Lightblade" I told him, placing down the monster that could win the duel. I needed pot of greed back. I watch as Lightblade slashes at the watery shield, destroying the monster and bringing Junk warrior back down to 2600.
Ryan laughed, drawing a card. He smiled as he looked at it.
"Should be familiar to most people" he started, holding a card up. "Go, Dark blade!"
"Not another one!" I moaned, watching him normal summon the monster. It basically wore a lot of black, spiked armour, swinging it's two blades around, but it did look dark. James took a corner on the road, me and Ryan getting ready for it. Jack and Simon kneeled down, hoping to keep still.
"Dark blade, attack his face down" he commanded his monster. I watched as he went for the Magician, smiling as I didn't activate the trap.
"Sorry, Magician" I spoke, looking back at Ryan's confused face "I can get a magic card from my grave back in my hand thanks to her sacrifice" I reached at the graveyard slot, Pot of Greed coming back. "And I only have two, so I'll bring back Pot of Greed"
"I'll…end my turn" he looked annoyed and frustrated as he realised I still held the upper hand.
I drew a card to start off my turn, looking at it and smiling. United we stand, enough right now to beat Junk warrior, but I made a decision. I would honour my mage's sacrifice and play Pot of Greed.
"I play my spell in order to draw two cards" I told him, putting the card into the grave and drawing the two cards I needed. One was Blade Synchron and the other Graceful Charity. "I play Graceful charity, so I can draw three cards as long as I discard two"
I put the card in the grave, drawing three cards from my deck. I looked at the cards, finding Monster Reborn, Judge Man and Magic Cylinder. I put the latter two of the three into the grave, looking at Ryan.
"I summon Blade Synchron!" I shouted, placing the squire on the field. He appeared next to me, running along the ground, this time sword in hand. He still fell over. "You okay buddy?"
What the…did he just nod again? Must be a glitch. I looked at Ryan again, thinking about how to say my next move. "Now I activate Monster reborn!" I shout, placing the card on the field. "Now I can bring back the Judge Man I discarded" I held my hand out, seeing the proud warrior appear next to me, running along the ground.
I think Ryan knew what was coming, the amount of times I had done the move in the past. It was just about 100% obvious. "I tune Blade Synchron to Judge Man, to bring out Darkblade the holy!"
The Squire smiled at the Judge, putting his thumb up and running over to him. The judge returned the smile, holding out his hand to the young knight-to-be. The squire held the judge's hand, turning into the rings and the judge jumping into them.
"The spirits of the fallen lend their strength. Become the vassal of war you were born to be!" I shout, the bright funnel of light going by me, the bus behind me was just in sight. "Synchro summon, come forth, Darkblade the Holy!" I yell, looking up and seeing the spinning blade again. No sign of Darkblade.
The blade falls, Lightblade catching it in his hand, he compared the two blades before putting his own away. The warrior I was waiting for ran up along side me, poking Lightblade on the shoulder. Lightblade looked at him, a cheeky smile on his face, passing the blade to its owner. Darkblade took it and held it with pride, passing Lightblade the occasional angry look.
"And now I activate United we stand!" I continue, placing the card in the spell and trap card zone. It flipped up, showing the clutched hands. "I equip it to Lightblade, increasing his attack and defence by 800 for every face up monster on my side of the field!"
So to make sure I've got this right, he started off with 2400 attack points, Darkblade being here puts it up to 3200 and the prince puts it up to 4000…easy win.
"Go, Lightblade, destroy Junk Warrior with Secular slash of Light!" I shout. I watch as Lightblade looks at Darkblade, jumping up onto him and using him as a footstool to jump higher. The Prince did the same. (Darkblade falling to the ground, picking himself up) When they both reached as high as they could go, the prince put his hands under the warrior's foot, pushing him further up.
Lightblade swung his sword down at just the right moment to obliterate Junk warrior, shards flying everywhere. I watched with joy as he lost 1400 life points. The goblin took a card out of his hand, putting it into the graveyard; he lost an extra 500 points due to this. (900)
"And now, Prince of the fallen kingdom, attack Dark blade with Royal Falchion strike!" I continue, my jacket billowing behind me. I knew he would set off the trap, but I had no choice. I watched as he charged towards the armour creature, getting ready to slash at it.
"Go, Sakuretsu armour!" he shouts, revealing his face down…finally. "One attacking monster is destroyed.
Dark blade's armour gets a few long sharp spikes on it, which the prince impales himself on. He looks at me, a frown (and blood) on his face, as if he had failed his duty.
"Relax, it will be alright" I tell him, feeling sorry for him. He fell limp, dropping his sword, he and his sword shattered and I put him into the grave. "And now, Darkblade, avenge the Prince with Holy slash of Shadows!"
I watch my monster shake his head, some of the armour having broken from the fall. He charged at Dark blade, sword in hand. The armoured being shatters into a thousand pieces and Ryan, initially loses 900 life points which removes the rest off his life points. Darkblade's effect kicks in, which removes even more life points and Robbin' Goblin with magic thorn remove another 500. "Another victory in the bag"
I watch as Ryan faints, Jack and Simon at his side. I gave Simon a quick call, hoping to get an assessment on Ryan's condition…he left it ringing, making sure Ryan was ok. Jack closed the boot, shutting me out. I sorted the cards back into a single deck, looking at Darkblade, Prince of the fallen kingdom and Lightblade.
"Thanks for the help guys" I told them, putting them into the deck last and putting the deck into the card holder. I set up a song on my helmet, putting 'the man who will not be moved' on.
There goes another chapter, next chapter is the arrival and Justin will be involved then.
And that's the third synchron, there are a few other tricks in this deck which will be brought out
