Chapter 7: The Warrior Returning Alive

-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-

Back at the duel, it was not looking good for Jeanette. All she had was a facedown monster and no other cards and the spirit controlling Dane had a Archfiend Soldier (ATK: 1,900) and a Earthbound God Assla Pischu (ATK: 2,500) on his side of the field and it was his turn. Everyone was watching the duel with shock in the their eyes.

(Dane LP: 2650 / Jeanette LP: 1350)

The figured laughed and replied, "This is way too easy! Just surrender to me and it'll make everything nice and sweet for me!"

Jeanette then replied, "Screw off. There is no way I'm doing that! I duel to the end and that's that!"

"Your funeral, kid. Archfiend Soldier, attack!"

The Fiend went in and a Vampire Lady appeared on the card (DEF: 1,550) and shattered into triangles after the sword hit her.

Alex then replied, "This is it. IF she doesn't have a move to save her, this duel is done!"

Chelsea then replied, "Stay strong, girl!"

"This ends now! Attack her directly!"

The huge creature let out a cry and then a large red-skinned ghostly man appeared on her side of the field (DEF: 800) and the huge hummingbird had black flames come out of her mouth and consumed the zombie and Jeanette replied, "If I'm about to be attacked directly and I have a Red Specter in my graveyard, I can Special Summon it to save me. That was the monster I had facedown earlier."

"Next turn, You're finished! I end my turn now."

Jeanette drew a card and then she smiled and replied, "There isn't going to be a next turn for you! I activate Monster Reborn!"

Giga Doomagigo reappeared (ATK: 2,450) and then Shutendoji glowed and she drew a monster and then she took a card (Which was a Vampire Takeover) and placed it on the top of her deck and Plaguespreader Zombie appeared (ATK: 400).

"Now, I tribute both of my monsters for my Red Ogre!"

As the two monsters vanished into clouds of smoke, a huge red ogre-like zombie appeared (ATK: 2,800).

"I'll use the effect and discard my last two cards to send your monsters back to your hand!"

As he took the two cards (Which were a Vampire Lord and a Vampire Kingdom Field Spell) and discarded them, both monsters simply vanished and reappeared in his hand and he groaned and replied, "This can't be happening to me!"

"Oh, but it is! Attack him directly!"

The huge zombie went and slammed its club into his body (Dane LP: 2650 - 0) and then Shutendoji went in and punched the Fiend and he groaned and exploded into black shards before Shutendoji took a drink out of a container it had and then vanished and they looked at Dane stopped glowing and then he collapsed to the ground and then Alex ran to her and he replied, "You okay, girl?"

She sighed and replied, "I will be."

Suddenly, Ginny and a her sister quickly ran in and Ginny replied, "This is my sister Blackhawk and she's a World Fighter as well."

She then looked at Dane and replied, "On your feet!"

Dane slowly stood up and he replied, "What the hell just happened to me?"

Jeanette then replied, "You really don't know, do you?"

"No. I was dueling you and then this watch took me over and after that, everything is blank."

Ginny then replied, "Quite a story. You owe two star chips to her."

He nodded and handed Jeanette her winnings and then Ginny replied, "Also since that spirit took you over and you didn't know that it would do that to your opponents, you owe that Chelsea girl over there two as well."

Dane sighed and he walked over to her and two took chips out and handed them to Chelsea and replied, "I'm so sorry for everything my evil half put you through, Chelsea."

She nodded as she took them and replied, "You weren't you at the time. Its cool."

She nodded as she placed in her glove and then Blackhawk replied, "You have to come with us. The Ridleys want to talk with you."

He sighed as they all walked away and Alex then replied, "What a day this has been so far."

Jeanette nodded and replied, "No joke. Alex, you want to get some lunch before you start dueling again?"

Alex nodded and replied, "Sounds good to me. Chelsea, want to join us?"

She smiled and replied, "Of course I would. Let's get going."

They all started to walk to the eating district of the island.

-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-

Back at the castle, the Ridleys were talking with Dane in a private chamber. Ginny and Blackhawk were outside of the door, just in case anything would happen.

Samuel then replied, "So this watch took you over and those Earthbound God cards and cards for those monsters weren't ever a part of your deck?"

Dane nodded and replied, "Yes, sir. I never want to see that stupid watch or those monsters. I run a heavy tribute Fiend deck, sir. I hope I'm not in trouble."

Jasmine then replied, "Of course, son. We'd forgive you. We can't give back to the 1st duel you beat, but we're taking back those other chips and leaving you with only though."

"That's far enough. Keep a hold of that watch and those Earthbound God cards for as long as you need. I never want to see them ever again."

Samuel then replied, "Good to hear. If you ever have any trouble, just contact a World Fighter on the island, son."

"Yes, sir."

Suddenly, the door opened up and Ginny walked in and Jasmine replied, "You can lead back outside now. He's in the clear of everything now."

She nodded as Dane got up and they both left and Samuel sighed and replied, "What do we do about that watch and cards?"

"We have no choice to keep them here in the castle for now and then later on, we'll transfer them to the main World Fighter HQ in Minneapolis."

Jasmine nodded and replied, "Good plan, dear."

-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-

The duo was now outside of the Bronco King BBQ pit restauraunt and they just finished one of the best lunches they've had in a while.

Chelsea sighed and replied, "What a great lunch that was."

Jeanette nodded and replied, "After that long and crazy duel, I'm glad to have a quiet duel like I just had."

"Hey, its the girl that saved that guy.", a male said behind them.

They all tuirned around and the saw a tall male wearing a cowboy outfit with a large white cowboy hat and he smiled and replied, "I'm Cooper Lenderman, State Champion of the beautiful state of Texas. And you're Jeanette, Chelsea and Alex."

Jeanette nodded and replied, "Nice to meet you too, dude. If you want a duel from me, you'ce come to the wrong person I'm afraid. I'm dueled out right now."

Cooper nodded and replied, "Don't blame ya for that one. Would any of your friends like a duel with me in the park right now?"

Alex stepped forward and replied, "I would like to duel you, Cooper. My Vehicroid deck is ready for another battle."

"Well sir, you have yourself a duel. Let's go then."

They all walked with him.

-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-

At the park, Cooper was facing down Alex while Jeanette & Chelsea was sitting at a park bench nearby and a small group was starting to form.

Alex then replied, "I have 4 Star Chips, how about you?"

Cooper then replied, "I have 6 of my own. How about just a simple bet of one chip?"

Alex nodded and replied, "Sounds good to me."

Both their disks activated and then they both began to look through their decks and then Alex saw a card and he smiled and replied, "Let's try out my Rescueroid."

He played the card, and ambulance with eyes drove onto the field (ATK: 1,600) and then Cooper looked through his deck and he saw a card and replied, "I'm going to choose my

Field-Commander Rahz!"

As he slid the card into the slot, the trident-wielding warrior appeared (ATK: 1,600) and then both disks auto-shuffled the decks and then both drew 5 cards.

"Game on!", both yelled out.

(Cooper LP: 8000/ Alex LP: 8000)

Cooper then replied, "Since our deckmasters have the same attack power, we can either flip a coin or one of us can just start the duel."

Alex then replied, "Go ahead and start us off, buddy."

Cooper nodded and replied, "Mighty kind of you, Alex. I'll set a monster and a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Alex drew a card and replied, "I summon my Battleshiproid!"

As he sat the card down, the two-eyed battleship appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"Attack his facedown monster!"

The machine fired its cannons and a aged Warrior with rusty armor and a rusted sword appeared on the card (DEF: 1,400) and was blasted to little bits as the attacks exploded around him and Cooper nodded and replied, "When my War Suvivor is destroyed, I can take any Warrior monster from my deck and place it at the top of my deck."

He took a card from his deck and placed at the top of his deck and then reshuffled.

"I'll set a card and call it a turn for now."

Cooper drew a card and replied, "I bring forth my Deputy Rahz!"

As he sat the card down, Field-Commander Rahz appeared..and he looked younger and wore a red cowboy suit with two silver-colored pistols and a black hat and a badge that said DEPUTY on the front of his shirt (ATK: 1,600). Field-Commander Rahz looked at his younger cowboy form with a puzzled look on his face as well.

Jeanette looked puzzled and replied, "What the hell?"

Chelsea sighed and replied, "I'm just as confused as you are, girl."

"I run a Cowboy deck with most of them are Fire Warrior monsters and some well-known warriors have now become cowboys as well. When Rahz is summoned to the field, I get a certain field spell from my deck."

He took a card from his deck and placed it in his hand and then he opened his field slot and replied, "I activate the Field Spell Card known as Tombstone!"

As he slid the card into the slot and it closed up, everywhere around them turned into a wild west town with that style of buildings as well.

Jeanette nodded and replied, "I'm guessing this card is supposed to remind duelists of Tombstone, Arizona's wild west days?"

"Correct, my friend. With this mighty field spell, you cannot use card effects on any Fire Warrior monster on my field during my turn and there's a second effect as well, but I'll wait to the time is right to tell you. I now activate the Spell Card known as Stray Bullet."

The spell appeared.

"This card allows me to the check the top card of my deck and if it's a Fire Warrior monster, one of my warriors gain 700 attack and if it's not, I take 700 damage."

He flipped the top card (It was a Fire Warrior called Igknight Crusader) and quickly discarded it and the cowboy's guns began to glow (ATK: 1,600 - 2,300).

"Lucky me. Sink his Battleship!"

Alex sighed at the pun he just made as the Warrior fired a barrage of shots and they shot out and hit the machine and then it shattered into broken pieces of metal (Alex LP: 8000 - 7500).

'There you go, partner. I'll end my turn now."

As Rahz's attack went back to normal (ATK: 2,300 - 1,600), Alex drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and a card and that'll end my turn now."

Cooper drew a card and replied, "Deputy Grepher, come in and fight by my side."

As he sat the card down, Warrior Dai Grepher now as a muscular cowboy appeared with two pistols of his own as well and he wore a white cowboy hat as well (ATK: 1,700).

"This card allows me to get a certain Spell from my deck to my hand."

He took a card from his deck and placed it in his hand and then he replied, "I now activate Boot Hill."

Suddenly, a large dusty and sandy graveyard appeared near the wild west town.

"We'll get to its effects soon. Grepher, plug his facedown monster."

The cowboy fired his pistols and the bullets shot out and a Gyroid appeared on the card (DEF: 1,000) and the bullets reflected off its body and then Alex quickly replied, "I activate Support Mission."

The spell appeared.

"Since you attacked my vehicroid, I can add another one from my deck to my hand."

As he did so, Rahz pointed his guns and fired a burst of bullet and they shot out and blew Gyroid to little pieces and Alex replied, "I use my deckmasters ability. When a Machine roid monster is destroyed, I can add that monster back to my hand."

He took Gyroid and returned it to his hand and then both sirens of his deckmaster began to sound off and Alex replied, "Those sirens are meaning Rescue Counters and I can't use its deckmaster ability while it has one on it."

"Gotcha. I end my turn now."

Alex drew a card and replied, "I activate Polymerization to fuse my Gyroid and Steamroid together!"

As the two machines appeared and merged together, Steam Gyroid appeared (ATK: 2,200).

"Now, I Summon my Submarineroid!"

As he sat the card down, the large submarine appeared (ATK: 800).

"First, I hit you with a direct attack!"

A small torpedo shot out from the front of it and it shot out and then engulfed Cooper in a mighty explosion (Cooper LP: 8000 - 7200).

"Attack his Deputy Rahz!"

The blades began to move like crazy as a huge gust of wind shot out and hit Deputy Rahz, blowing him to shards (Cooper LP: 7200 - 6900) and Cooper nodded and replied, "That's the second effect of my Field Spell, I Take only have half the damage with Fire Warrior monsters. Also when Deputy Rahz is destroyed, I Can grab another Fire Warrior from my deck."

As he did so, two glowing tombstones appeared in the Boot Hill area (Counters: 0 - 2).

"Very intresting. I'll end my turn now."

Cooper drew a card and replied, "I'll switch my Grepher to defense and then I'll set a new monster and that'll end my turn now."

Alex drew a card and replied, "Submarineroid, attack!"

The machine fired a 2nd torpedo and it shot out and exploded near Cooper (Cooper LP: 6900 - 6100).

"Attack!"

Steam Gyroid shot out its wind attack again and the remaining deputy was blown into fragments as the attack struck him down and then two more counters flew into the Boot Hill card (Counters: 2 - 4).

"Your turn now, bud."

Cooper drew a card and replied, "I flip my facedown monster up."

As he did so, Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu appeared (ATK: 500) and he took a equip card from his deck and placed it in his hand and then he reshuffled and replied, "I Tribute him for my Sheriff Freed!"

As the blacksmith vanished into fiery bits, Freed the Matchless General appeared as a cowboy. He wore a Sheriff's outfit with a small gold star on his chest that said SHERIFF on it and he wore a large brown hat and held onto a large brown rifle for a weapon (ATK: 2,300).

Jeanette nodded and replied, "Should of expected Freed would come as a cowboy sooner or later."

"Since I used a Fire Warrior monster to summon him, one of your cards is destroyed!"

Suddenly, Steam Gyroid exploded into fiery pieces of metal that flew onto the field.

"Now, I play the Spell Card known as Tangled Lasso."

The spell appeared.

"If I Control a fire Warrior monster, I can change the position of a monster you control!"

Suddenly, the submarine rose to attack position.

"Attack it!"

The machine aimed fired a burst of bullets and they shot out and slammed into the machine and it shattered into little pieces of metal (Alex LP: 7500 - 6000).

"There you go. I end my turn now."

Alex drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and then I'll activate The Spell Card known as One Day of Peace."

The Spell appeared and both drew a card and then Alex replied, "I'll set a new card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Cooper drew a card and replied, "I'll use Boot Hill's effect. I remove any number of Grave Counters to get a monster from my deck equal to the number removed and I choose all 4 of them."

As the 4 glowing gravestones vanished, he took a card from his deck and placed it in his hand and then he replied, "I now summon my Pierce Musketeer."

As he sat the card down, a female cowboy with a rifle appeared (ATK: 1,700) and then Alex quickly replied, "I activate A Feint Plan."

The trap flipped up.

"Your turn now, pardner."

Alex drew a card and replied, "I flip my facedown monster up."

As he did so, Turboroid appeared (ATK: 1,400).

"I'll banish my Strikerroid and Stealthroid from my hand and Turboroid from my side of the field to summon my newest member of the Solidroid team!"

As he banished the cards from his hand and side of field, a machine that looked Solidroid Alpha appeared except it had 3 small missile launchers in its chest (ATK: 2,500).

"Meet the mighty Solidroid Omega!"

Jeanette then replied, "Nice."

"When he's Fusion Summoned, all of your Spell and Traps are destroyed!"

Suddenly, a huge burst of missiles shot out and blasted the Boot Hill and Tombstone cards to bits, returning them to the street.

"Pogoroid, I need ya!"

As he sat the card down, the pogo vehicroid appeared and it broke apart and attached to the huge Fusion monster. Now, blast both of his monsters!"

The huge machine fired its missiles and both cowboy monsters were blown to atoms as the attack struck them both down (Cooper LP: 6100 - 5100).

"There you go. I end my turn now."

Cooper drew a card and replied, "1 monster facedown and 1 card facedown and that'll end my turn now."

Alex drew a card and replied, "Attack!"

The machine fired its missiles and Alex quickly replied, "I activate Dust Tornado!"

The storm shot out and the all the equipped pogo parts were blown to shards as the machine fired its missiles and a 2nd Warrior Survivor appeared (DEF: 1,400) and shards as the missles exploded near it and he took a card from his deck and placed it at the top of his deck.

"Your turn now, buddy."

Cooper drew a card and replied, "I use my deckmasters ability. I Can return up to 4 Warriors to my deck and I draw a card for every two I do so."

He took both War Suvivor, Kotetsu and Pierce Musketeer as he shuffled the cards into his deck and then drew 2 new ones and then replied, "I now play Spellbook in the Pot!"

Both drew 3 cards and he nodded and replied, "I summon my Twin Gun Fighter!"

"Now, I play Shrink!"

The huge Fusion monster glowed (ATK: 2,500 - 1,250).

"Attack it!"

The gunslinger aimed its guns and fired a burst of bullets and they shot out and struck the huge machine in the middle of its chest. A shower of sparks flew from the chest befoe it exploded into scrap (Alex LP: 6000 - 5650).

"When Twin-Gun Fighter destroys a monster, you take damage equal to its attack!"

Suddenly, he aimed his gun and fired a bullet and it shot out and struck Alex in the chest (Alex LP: 5650 - 4050).

Jeanette nodded and replied, "This guy has quite a powerful deck."

"There you go. I end my turn now."

Alex drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and a card and that'll end my turn now."

Cooper drew a card and replied, "I summon my Command Knight."

As he sat the card down, the fiery knight appeared (ATK: 1,200 - 1,600) - (ATK: 1,600 - 2,000).

"Attack!"

The cowboy fired his guns and a burst of bullets shot out and a Tankroid appeared on the card (DEF: 1,900) and Alex quickly replied, "I don't think so! I activate D2 Shield!~"

Suddenly, it glowed (DEF: 1,800 - 3,600) as the bullets struck it down and did nothing to it (Cooper LP: 5100 - 3500).

"That'll smart. I end my turn now."

Alex drew a card and replied, "I drop 1000 lifepoints to activate Instant Fusion."

As he glowed (Alex LP: 4050 - 3050), a 2nd Steam Gyroid appeared (ATK: 2,200).

"Now, I play Polymerization to fuse my two machines together!"

As they both formed together, a HUGE robot with a front that looked a small city appeared (ATK: 0)!

"Meet the mighty Super Vehicroid - Mobile Base!"

He nodded and replied, "Damn."

"Now I use it's effect to Special Summon a Vehicroid fusion monster with a equal to or less then a monster you control and I Choose Pair Cycroid!"

As he sat the card down, a Cycroid with two seats appeared (ATK: 1,600).

"Now, I activate Shield Attack!"

all 3 monsters glowed (ATK: 2,000 - 1,000 - 1,400) - (ATK: 1,600 - 1,200 - 1,900 - 2,300) - (ATK: 1,600 - 2,000) - (ATK: 0 - 5,000).

Cooper sighed and then he smiled and replied, "Thanks for a great duel, my friend. Go for the win."

"Thanks. Mobile Base, attack!"

The eyes glowed as a huge burst of fiery black light shot out and struck, atomizing Twin-Gun Fighter and the rest of the attack hit him (Cooper LP: 3,500 - 0) and then Rescueroid rushed and struck, blowing Rahz to little bits and then Cooper walked and handed him a star chip and Cooper nodded to him and replied, "Good luck with the rest of this tournament, my friend."

He smiled as Cooper slowly left and Jeanette walked up to him and she smiled and replied, "Great win, buddy."

Alex nodded as he placed the chip in his glove and Chelsea then replied, "Everyone ready for lunch?"

They both nodded as they went to find some food.
