Going to stick with a story-per-week schedule now, or at least something like that. A friend (NuttyBuddy) told me to write more in greater detail, but write one per week. So, I'm going to test it out! This is my first attempt at actually writing monsters, battle animations, and other stuff with detail, so bear with me. In the end, Quality Quantity!
P.S. You'll see later on, but Jack has a totally different deck. Again, experimenting with User-Created-Cards (if that even is a thing), and Jack is the lab rat. So, try not to get too upset over that?
Yuya followed Yusei when he asked to show him something. They wound their way to the garage, to Yusei's Duel Runner. There, Yusei explained about his adventure earlier on in the day. Yuya tried not to look too shocked about the development. Yusei said he needed help to get through the next duel in there, since the last duel really messed with his emotions.
"Sure, I'll help out in whatever way I can!" Yuya said, cheerfully. Yusei, with a grin of relief, booted up the Duel Runner, and clicked a few buttons. Instantly, Yuya felt liquidly, like his insides turned into water. The feeling disappeared as fast as it started. Yuya looked around, and found him in a wide, empty space, that looked like the Turbo Duel field back in the Synchro Dimension. There seemed to be some sort of glowing people sitting in the seats. Yusei took off on his Duel Runner to look around, and Yuya grabbed the nearest Duel Runner and hurried to catch up.
When they were near the Starting Line, Yusei's Duel Runner started making hacking, coughing, noises. Yusei stopped immediately, and started checking the Yusei Go. "I-I think my Duel Runner is broken, I'll need to check it when we get back," Yusei said with a wince. Just then, they heard the revving up of another Duel Runner. A gray Duel Runner in the shape of a wheel sped past to the Starting Line. Yuya and Yusei both gasped. The rider of the Duel Runner was Jack Atlas, and he was gesturing for Yuya to come to the Starting Line.
"You'll have to win this duel Yuya. I can't duel with my Duel Runner like this, and I can't use these new Duel Runners like you can. Be careful," Yusei cautioned in a stern voice. Yuya nodded, and rode forth to the Starting Line. Last time I dueled him, I didn't just lose. My dueling style was harassed in front of everyone. I can't lose this time. Yuya thought to himself.
Suddenly, a ghostly sound swept across the stadium. "THREE!" Was this the beginning of the turbo duel? "TWO!" It sounded like the whole crowd was shouting. "ONE! Riding Duel, Acceleration!" A horn blared in the background, and Yuya was off.
Jack rapidly sped around the first corner, "My turn first! When I don't control any monsters, I can special summon Flag Bearer of the Army!"
Flag Bearer of the Army – ATK: 900 DEF: 700 LEVEL: 2
A skinny ghoul in steel armor bearing a flag jumped out. The flag was only decorated with a red "X" sign. "Next, I summon Private of the Army!"
Private of the Army – ATK: 200 DEF: 200 LEVEL: 1
A more buff figure appeared. It was still wearing the same armor, and it held a sword in one hand. "When he is summoned, I can special summon two more copies of him from my deck, or hand! I special summon two more from my deck!"
Two more of the soldier was summoned. "When I control an 'Army' monster, I can special summon Corporal of the Army."
Corporal of the Army – ATK: 1300 DEF: 100 LEVEL: 3
This time, a nearly an even buffer figure appeared. It held a crossbow and had a short sword clipped to its belt. Jack continued on, "By the way, Corp is a Tuner monster! I tune my level 2 Flag Bearer with my 3 level 1 Privates with my level 3 Corporal (3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 8)! Rend the obsidian darkness! Scorch the entire world! Unrivaled, absolute king! Synchro Summon! Absolute power, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend!"
Hot Red Dragon Archfiend – ATK: 3000 DEF: 2000 LEVEL: 8
With a cruel smile, Jack half-shouted, "Now, I set two cards face down. And with that, my friend, I end my turn. Now, show me the full extent of your power! Either way, I'll finish you next turn!" Yuya gasped. The familiar phrase jolted his memory. I will finish him in only three turns! Yuya remembered Synchro Dimension-Jack saying. Well, I won't lose to him this time. I'll show him my Entertainment Duel! Yuya thought desperately.
"My turn! Draw! Now, I'll show you my Entertainment Duel style! First, I activate Pendulum Call! When I don't control any Pendulums, I can add two of them from my deck to my hand! But, I have to discard a card. Now, I discard a card and add Xiangke Magician and Xiangsheng Magician to my hand," Yuya called. Two green-and-orange cards flew out of Yuya's deck into his hand.
"Ladies and, gentlemen!" Yuya addressed to the audience, "Tonight will be a special gathering of beasts! I, using the Scale 3 Xiangke Magician and the Scale 8 Xiangsheng Magician, set the Pendulum Scale! With these two Magicians, I can special summon monsters with a level in between 3 and 8!" Yuya beamed a smile at the ghostly audience, "As you all can see, I currently have no monsters on my field. Normally, I can only summon one monster, but that is about to change!"
Yuya raised his arms out, "Swing Pendulum of my soul, draw an arc of light across the ether!" Yuya looked squarely at Jack, "Pendulum Summon! Appear my monsters! Welcome the ever fierce Performapal Silver Claw, and the dragon with dual-colored eyes, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, to the stage!"
A gray-silver wolf wearing a funny costume leaped out of the portal above Yuya, with a wingless dual-colored eye dragon following suit.
Performapal Silver Wolf – ATK: 1800 DEF: 700 LEVEL: 4
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon – ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 LEVEL: 7
"And what are those puny monsters going to do to Hot Red Dragon Archfiend?" Jack smirked. Yuya glanced over to Jack, "These monsters will be the end of Hot Red Dragon Archfiend! I activate a spell! Odd-Eyes Fusion!" This is going to be a monster I haven't used before. I hope I can get this right! Yuya thought.
"I fuse Silver Wolf with Odd-Eyes! Wolf of dual card types, become a light in the eye of the dragon! Fusion Summon! Spin faster, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon!" Yuya chanted. A green and silver-armored monster flew through the open Fusion gate. It had four gold and white wings, the same blue-purple core as Odd-Eyes, and a black beak-like mouth.
Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon – ATK: 2500 DEF: 3000 LEVEL: 7
"What a waste. You wasted precious resources for a monster with equal ATK to Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. I should have known you were an amateur," laughed Jack. "Don't underestimate Vortex's strength! I activate his effect! When he is special summoned, I can bounce back a monster you control back to your hand! I'm sending your Hot Red Dragon Archfiend back to your Extra Deck!" Yuya shouted.
"Trap card open! Explosive Evasion! When my dragon is going to be removed from the field by your effect, I can destroy it, and make you take damage equal to its ATK! Also, this card's effect can't be negated if my monster is a Synchro!" Jack countered. Suddenly, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend exploded, and the explosion rocked Yuya's Duel Runner into swerving. Yuya quickly regained control, though he nearly crashed into a wall.
Yuya LP: 4000 - 1000
"Grr, but can still attack! Vortex, attack Jack directly! Spire Tornado Strike!" Yuya called. Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon unleashed a beam of energy, coated in a tornado, at Jack.
Jack LP: 4000 - 1500
Surprisingly, Jack managed to keep control and avoid crashing into a wall or swerving. "And now we're even! I set a card face down and end my turn! Your turn!" Yuya finished. "Now it is my turn! I draw!" Jack glanced down at his card, and came back up with an evil grin, "And you thought you could beat me. You're not even worth my time! I activate Red Hot Rebirth! When I have lower Life Points then you, I can halve my Life Points and special summon Hot Red Dragon Archfiend back from the grave! Again, this card cannot be negated! Be reborn, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend!"
Jack LP: 1500 - 750
The familiar monster flew out of the spell card, and let out a gigantic roar. "I activate the second effect of Red Hot Rebirth! If you have the same or more monsters than me, I can special summon two tokens, and they can be counted as Tuners! But, they cannot attack, be Tributed, or be used for a Fusion Summon! Also, if they are on my field during the End Phase, I destroy them along with all other monsters on my field, and I take the combined ATK as damage!" Jack explained.
Red Hot Token – ATK: 200 DEF: 200 LEVEL: 2
"So, you're taking a big risk?" Yuya questioned. Jack smiled that wicked smile of his. "But, it's going to pay off well, very well. I now double tune my two level 2 Red Hot Tokens with my level 8 Hot Red Dragon Archfiend (2 + 2 +8 = 12)!" Jack said. "The King and the Wicked now merge together! Incinerate everything and anything in your path of destruction! Synchro Summon! Give new meaning to disaster, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity!" he chanted.
Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity – ATK: 4000 DEF: 3500 LEVEL: 12
A gigantic red and black dragon with huge midnight wings appeared from the beam of light. It was covered in flaming spikes, with two horns sprouting from its head. It had two extra hands sprouting from its wings. "Now, the plan is complete! You're lucky, Calamity can't attack this turn due to Red Hot Rebirth!" Jack shouted with a maniacal expression, "Now I end my turn! Hurry up and lose, weakling!"
He's gone completely insane! I must stop him now! But…is he right? Am I really weak? Is my style of dueling really just plain-out stupid? Yuya thought to himself, No, I must not give up! Not yet, not ever! "Now it's my turn, I draw!" Yuya cringed. The card he drew couldn't help him win the duel this turn. His shoulder started sagging. "I-I, end my t-turn," he stammered.
Suddenly, there was a shout near Yuya, "You can't give up yet Yuya! The duel isn't over until the very last Life Point, the very last card in your deck! Fight on! Fight to prove you and your father's Entertainment Duel!" Yuya heard Yusei shout. Yuya suddenly felt a burst of energy. "You're right Yusei! I'll fight till the very end! Till the last card! I believe I can win!" Yuya shouted back.
Yuya could almost see Yusei replying with a "That's the spirit!" and an encouraging grin plastered on his face. He couldn't give up yet. Not until the very last card is played. He had to believe in his abilities, and his Dueling Style. He had to win with his very own Entertainment Duel.
"Oh please. Save yourself the small talk and give up already! This battle is hopeless! Now, it's my turn! I draw!" Jack said. "Battle phase! Attack Yuya directly! Calamity's Wrath!" Jack shouted. The beast let out a roar and fired a beam of pure fire at Yuya. "Not this time Jack! Trap card open! Rebound Damage! When you attack me directly, I can negate all damage I take, and transfer the damage to you! So that means you would take the full-on brute force of Calamity! It's over!" Yuya countered.
"Not like this! I activate my trap! Double-Edged Sword! Now, we both take the 4000 damage! Say good-bye Yuya!" Jack shouted manically. Calamity's fire swarmed over both of the Duelists. When the smoke cleared, Jack came spiraling out of his Duel Runner completely scorched.
Meanwhile Yuya stood near his Duel Runner, holding up his winning card. Jack focused his eyes on Yuya. "Trap card open, Last Point Stand. When I would lose all my Life Points, I can activate this card from my hand. All damage is negated, but I reduce my life points down to 1. This is what Yusei means by dueling till the last Life Point. And that is exactly what I did," a slightly scorched Yuya said.
Jack LP: 750 - 0
Yuya LP: 1000 - 1
The results screen flashed up showing that Yuya has won. And then the ghostly audience burst out in applause. Yusei ran up to Yuya to congratulate him. "This has been a nice duel, Yuya Sakaki. We will duel again, or the Synchro Dimension of me, sometime soon. This is good-bye, for now," Jack managed. Then, he disappeared and was replaced by a card.
Yuya walked over and picked it up. "Hmm, Red Dragon Archfiend. So this is one of the Signer cards?" Yuya asked, handing the card over to Yusei. "Yes, it is," Yusei replied. They said no more, and Yusei carried Yuya back over to the Yusei Go. "Well, it's time to go back home! We still have a duel to watch." Yusei said. Apparently, he fixed the Duel Runner nearing the end of the duel, so they were ready to go back to the Synchro Dimension.
With a few taps on the Duel Runner's monitor, they were off.
Flag Bearer of the Army – ATK: 900 DEF: 700 LEVEL: 2
If you don't control any monsters, you can special summon this card from your hand.
Private of the Army – ATK: 200 DEF: 200 LEVEL: 1
When this card is Normal Summoned, you can special summon two more "Private of the Army" from your deck or hand. During the End Phase of this turn, destroy them and this card if "Private of the Army's" effect was used.
Corporal of the Army – ATK: 1300 DEF: 100 LEVEL: 3 TUNER
If you control an "Army" monster, you can special summon this card. This card cannot be used for a Fusion, Xyz, or Tribute summon. This card can only be used to Synchro Summon a Warrior, Machine, or Dragon-Type monster.
Red Hot Rebirth – SPELL
Activate this card only if you have less Life Points than your opponent. Halve your Life Points, and special summon a "Hot Red Dragon Archfiend" or "Red Dragon Archfiend" from your graveyard. Then, special summon two tokens Red Hot Tokens DARK/ Fiend/ LEVEL: 2/ATK: 200/DEF: 200. They can be treated as Tuners. They cannot be used for a Fusion or Tribute summon. During the End Phase, if the tokens are still on the field, destroy all monsters on your side of the field and take damage equal to their combined ATK. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate "Red Hot Rebirth".
Explosive Evasion – TRAP
When your opponent targets a monster you control with an effect that would remove the monster from the field, you can activate this card and negate the effect. Then, destroy the monster that was targeted by your opponent's effect and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster. If the monster targeted by your opponent is a Synchro Monster, this card cannot be negated
Rebound Damage – TRAP
If your opponent attacks you directly, you can activate this card and negate the damage. Then, your opponent takes damage equal to the amount you would have taken.
Double-Edged Sword – TRAP
If you would take damage, inflict the damage on both players.
Last Point Stand – TRAP
If you would take damage that would reduce your Life Points to 0, negate the damage and reduce your Life Points to 1 instead.
And that concludes chapter seven. Again, thanks to NuttyBuddy for helping me out by pointing out places I could do better on, and my mistakes. I will keep posting stuff this longish every week. I'm still trying to adjust, so again, bear with me! I hope you guys enjoyed this one! Next stop, Chapter Eight!
