All right. Here we go again. I said that in the last chapter that I think you're gonna like what I add here. Know what it is yet? Well you're gonna find out now. And like you read in the last chapter, whatever's corrupting Kaiba's computer system, it's getting stronger. But what's corrupting his system? Soon, when they look closer into it, you'll find out. For now, let's keep going with this.
A couple of days after Kyle had taken Serenity and Joey to the other side of Domino City, it was a clear day, and Kyle was at a Duel Monsters stadium, playing the game there.
He was in the middle of the ring, wearing an all dark green shirt, with light blue jeans, all white tennis shoes, and he wore a pair of red lens sunglasses.
His opponent had reddish brown hair, combed in a spikey fashion, wearing a long sleeved, blueish gray shirt, darker gray sweatpants, and black and gray tennis shoes.
Kyle's monsters were Makyura the Destructor, Battle Steer, and 7 Colored Fish, while his opponent had Relinquished with Trance the Magic Swordsman equipped to it.
"My move, Dave!" Kyle said to Dave his opponent. "Now I'll give up Battle Steer and 7 Colored Fish." Kyle said again and his monsters disappeared into a blue flash of light. "Now I summon Tri-Horned Dragon!"
Tri-Horned Dragon: ATK: 2850 DEF: 2350.
And from a brighter flash of gold light, a big, blue dragon, with three yellow horns in one on top of its head, and more horns going down its back appeared.
"But first, I use Makyura the Destructor to attack Relinquished!"
Makyura the Destructor jumped at his opponent's monster, which counterattacked by shooting a purple magic blast from its Eye of Udjat.
Kyle: 400 LP Dave: 1600 LP.
"What?! Your monster was weaker. Why'd you attack Relinquished?"
"Because of Makyura the Destructor's ability. When he leaves the field, I can play any trap from my hand. And I think I'll play this one, Martyr Curse." Kyle played a trap card with a man in a purple robe, holding a red orb with green flames in his left hand, a scythe in his right hand, and white skulls flying all around him. "This forces two of our monsters to do battle, but thanks to its effect, Relinquished can't activate his special ability. So he can't use my Trance as a shield."
"Oh, no!"
"Oh, yes, Dave. Now Tri-Horned Dragon, attack his Relinquished!"
The big, blue dragon charged at the strange gray monster, then clawed it, destroying it and winning Kyle the duel.
Kyle: 400 LP Dave: 0 LP.
"Winner!" the announcer yelled off to the side through a microphone. "And for an 8th time, the winner is Mister Kyle Renegade!"
The audience arose from their chairs and cheered loudly.
"Are you ready for more action, Renegade?" the announcer asked giving Kyle his microphone.
"I'm pumped up and ready for more! Bring me my next opponent!"
The ring announcer took his mic back and walked to the ramp. "For every duel each player wins, they go home with a hundred dollars. Will the next opponent please step onto the ramp?"
The announcer went over to the top of the ramp, and stood in front of a curtain. "I hope Mister Renegade is ready for this one. Because now he will face a very strong opponent. The winner of 10 other tournaments, each from 10 different countries. All the way from South America Colombia. Introducing, the rouge duelist of light, the Fairy Harper. Introducing, the continental champion, Ellie Lesser!"
The curtain raised and bright lights shined. At the top of the ramp, stood a woman in her early 20s like Kyle, she had red hair tied in a ponytail behind her head, lime green eyes, and olive skin. She wore a light blue-green top, with black track pants, white and bright orange tennis shoes, and she wore light brown lens aviators.
Kyle looked straight up to her, lowered his sunglasses, and his stomach dropped at the sigh of her. "She's an angel outta heaven. By God, she's so hot."
She walked down the ramp, smiling to everyone, and blowing kisses.
She reached the arena's ring and stood face to face with Kyle.
"Ready to duel?" Kyle asked while straightening his sunglasses.
"Ready when you are, handsome."
And Kyle's heart just sank after she'd said that.
Both Kyle and Ellie took and shuffled each other's decks.
"Don't hold back. I know your entranced by my looks."
"Trust me. I wasn't planning to. I never hold back on a duel."
"Well, then. Be a gentleman will you?"
They returned each other's decks and took their places in the ring.
"Ready? Go!" the announcer said through the microphone.
"Let's duel!"
Ellie: 4000 LP Kyle: 4000 LP.
"Ladies first."
"You really are a gentleman. All right then, take this," Ellie drew her first card. "I summon Injection Fairy Lily, in attack mode."
Injection Fairy Lily: ATK: 400 DEF: 1500.
Then Ellie's first monster appeared, which was a fairy in white nurse's clothes, with pink hair, a heart on her nurse's hat, and holding a big injection needle.
"Now I'll put three cards faced down, and let you take it from here." Ellie finished her turn.
"All right. I draw!" Kyle exclaimed drawing his card. "I summon my Marauding Captain in attack mode."
Marauding Captain: ATK: 1200 DEF: 400.
Kyle's first monster, a man with short blonde hair, wearing a suit of armor, with a silver vest and leggings, a long cape that was blue on the outside, and red on the inside, wielding two swords appeared.
"And now I use Marauding Captain's ability. When he's summoned, I can summon another warrior from my hand to join him. And I think I'll call on Makyura the Destructor, in attack mode as well."
And Kyle summoned the same monster he played in his duel with Bandit Keith.
"Now Makyura the Destructor, attack her Fairy Lily!"
The purple armored monster then charged at the nurse fairy.
"Sorry but it's your monster that will be destroyed. I use Lily's effect. I give up 2000 life points, to give her 3000 more attack points."
Ellie: 2000 LP Kyle: 4000 LP.
Injection Fairy Lily: ATK: 3400 DEF: 1500.
Lily's injection needle grew bigger, then she plunged it through Makyura the Destructor.
Ellie: 2000 LP Kyle: 2200 LP.
"I'd hoped you would pull that effect. Cause now I can activate Makyura the Destructor's abilty. Allowing me to play any trap from my hand. Activate Martyr Curse." Kyle held up the same card that won him his last duel. "Now both Marauding Captain and Injection Fairy Lily will battle, but you can't use her ability. And without it, she only has 400 attack points. Now go, Marauding Captain, destroy her Lily!"
Kyle's captain charged at Ellie's fairy, then Marauding Captain struck the Fairy Lily down.
Ellie: 1200 LP Kyle: 2200 LP.
"With your Lily gone, I'll lay a card of my own faced down and end it there."
"Then I go. And as I do, one of my cards activate: Life Absorbing Machine." Ellie flipped a trap with an old man, who had a machine attached to his back, which was sucking his life out. "Now I can get back half the life points that I paid for my Lily."
Ellie: 2200 LP Kyle: 2200 LP.
"Now I think I'll summon Dunames Dark With, in attack mode."
Dunames Dark Witch: ATK: 1800 DEF: 1050.
And in front of Ellie, a woman with purple hair, wearing a red top, a white skirt and boots, along with a pair of white wings on her back materialized in sparks of light.
"Your Marauding Captain has nothing on this. Now Dark Witch, attack!"
The Dark Witch let out a stream of black shrouds from behind her, and it hit and destroyed Marauding Captain.
Ellie: 2200 LP Kyle: 1600 LP.
"By making that attack, you triggered my trap card. Reveal, Fearful Earthbound!" Kyle flipped a trap card with a man in a silver armor, standing in the mouth of a big, brown monster. "With this on the field, each time you make an attack, you lose 500 life points.
A purple light then shined under Ellie's feet.
"Sorry. But like before when your Marauding Captain battled my Lily, I'm prepared again. I activate Spell of Pain." Ellie flipped a magic card with two men in a strange room, one was casting a spell, causing the other to suffer with great pain. "Now you'll take damage from your trap instead." And the purple light faded underneath her, but then reappeared under Kyle, and then the head of the brown monster from the card came from underneath, and chomped Kyle. After that, it faded into the ground.
Ellie: 2200 LP Kyle: 1100 LP.
"With all that done, I'll end it there."
"Then it's my turn," Kyle said drawing. "I summon 7 Colored Fish, in attack mode."
7 Colored Fish: ATK: 1800 DEF: 800.
And then, a long, rainbow colored fish came out in a flash of multicolored flashing light.
"Next I'll put this faced down. And I stop there."
"My turn. I think I'll sacrifice my Dark Witch now," Ellie said as her monster vanished. "Now I can summon Tethys, Goddess of light."
Tethys, Goddess of Light: ATK: 2400 DEF: 1800.
And then, in front of Ellie, a bright, silver light shined, and from it a fairy woman with long, silver hair,a big pair of white wings on her back, wearing a long, white dress, a light gray vest, and a gold crown on her head.
"Now Goddess of Light, attack his 7 Colored Fish!"
The Fairy Goddess put her hands in front of her and made a shining ball of silver light, which she shot at Kyle's monster.
"Reveal Trap! Draining Shield!" Kyle flipped up his faced down card, and the same thing happened as when he saved his Five Headed Dragon from Yugi's God card. The blast of light hit the shield, and on the other side, a multicolored light shined on Kyle. "Now my life points go up, but yours go down. All thanks to my Draining Shield and Fearful Earthbound trap cards."
Ellie: 1700 LP Kyle: 3500 LP.
The purple light emerged from underneath Ellie again, and that brown monster chomped her.
"Impressive. But you'll have to do a lot better than that. I'm a really strong duelist, and I don't go down easy."
"Neither do I."
"Then let's see what you have. Make your move."
"All right, then I will." Kyle drew. "I think I'll sacrifice my 7 Colored Fish, so I can bring out Jinzo."
Jinzo: ATK: 2400 DEF: 1500.
Kyle's fish vanished from the field, then in a flash of light, a robot stood in front of him. It had a pink head with a green, mechanical mask on him, he wore a darker green robe, with lighter green armored gauntlets and a collar vest, and yellow linings going down the middle of him from the middle of his neck.
"With Jinzo on the field, you just lost your life absorbing machine, along with all your other trap cards," said Kyle as Jinzo fired a red laser from his eyes, destroying Life Absorbing Machine. "Unfortunately my traps are useless, too." And then Kyle's Fearful Earthbound blasted into pixels.
"You do realize my Goddess and your Jinzo have the same number of attack points, don't you?"
"Of course I do. I know all the rules and how it's played. I'll put the last card I have in my hand faced down. Your move."
"All right. I play Pot of Duality," Ellie held a card up with a pot that had two faces, one good, the other bad. "This lets me see the top three cards of my deck, then I pick one to put in my end, while the other 2 get shuffled back in my deck." Ellie pulled three cards from her deck, and looked to them, then picked one up. "Thank you." She kissed the card she'd picked, then shuffled the other 2 into her deck. "Now I play Silver Bow and Arrow." Ellie held up the card she chose, which showed the design of a bow and arrow.
That bow and arrow then appeared in her Goddess' hands.
Tethys, Goddess of Light: ATK: 2700 DEF: 1800.
"Thanks to my new magic card, Tethys gets 300 extra attack and defense points, so now she's stronger than your Jinzo. Go, Goddess of Light, destroy his Jinzo with your new weapon!"
The fairy goddess put an arrow into the bow and she shot it at Jinzo.
The arrow went flying at Jinzo, to destroy him, but just before it could hit, a light flashed and Jinzo vanished.
"What?" Ellie asked herself confused. "Where'd he go?"
"Right here. In my hand," Kyle replied and held up his Jinzo card. "Did you forget the card I just recently laid faced down?"
Ellie looked to see a magic card with the design of a card absorbing light and winds.
"It's called Monster Recovery. It let me return Jinzo to my hand, then I shuffle him back to my deck." And Kyle did so. "Unfortunately I wasn't holding any cards, otherwise I'd refresh my hand with the same number I'd been holding."
"With Jinzo off the field, I'm free to lay any trap cards I want." And Ellie put a card faced down. "Your move."
Kyle looked down to his deck and drew a card. "I play a card faced down and end my turn."
"Then it's back to me. I begin by playing Emergency Provisions." Ellie held a magic card with an emergency supply of food. "With this I can destroy both my faced cards, then gain a thousand life points for each."
Ellie: 3700 LP Kyle: 3500 LP.
Both her faced down cards then burst into pixels.
"Now I use my Goddess of Light to give you a direct attack on your life points."
Her Tethys put another arrow in the bow and fired at Kyle.
"I told you before, I don't go down that easy. Reveal faced down card: Shield Wall!" Kyle flipped a card, then four stone warriors appeared in front of him, and the arrow hit one of those instead of him. "This magic card give me four tokens to protect my life points, so your direct attack was denied."
"I'll put the last card in my hand faced down. Back to you."
Kyle began and drew his card. "I think I'll begin by playing my Pot of Greed card. This lets me draw twice," Kyle said picking up 2 more cards. "Now I'll put one more card faced down and stop there."
"Then I think I'll get back to where I left off. Tethys, attack another one of his Shield Walls."
Tethys, Goddess of Light prepared to shoot an arrow once more.
"Not so fast. Activate Ordeal of a Traveler." Kyle flipped a trap card with a confused person standing in front of the sphinx of Egypt. "If you wanna make your attack, then all you gotta do is answer this question: What card do I have in my hand? Is it a magic, monster, or trap? Guess right, you can continue with your attack. Guess wrong, and Tethys is returned to your hand."
"Let's see," Ellie tried to think. "Is it a trap?"
Kyle imitated the sound of a buzzer. "Oh, so sorry. But that was a wrong guess."
Then Ellie's goddess flashed into a gold light, and off the field, and she put the card in her hand.
"I end my turn."
"Then I start off. I think I'll banish Marauding Captain from my graveyard," Kyle pulled the Marauding Captain from his graveyard. "Now I summon the Rock Spirit." And that stone gladiator monster appeared once more. "Next I sacrifice my Rock Spirit, to summon my good friend, the Fiend Megacyber."
The Fiend Megacyber: ATK: 2200 DEF: 1200.
And in a flash of yellow light, in front of Kyle, a monster with a yellow suit armor vest and helmet, yellow gloves, with brown sleeves, along with a yellow belt, holding a purple robe over his legs.
"Now Fiend Megacyber, attack her directly!"
The Fiend Megacyber charged at Ellie, with a yellow glow on his fist, preparing to attack her.
"Not so fast, I activate a trap of my own. Go, Wotan's Judegment!" Ellie flipped her own trap card with a man wearing a green robe, with the hood covering his face, and in front of him, he held a yellow, glowing staff in his right hands. "This let's me stop your attack by swapping a magic card in my hand, with the top card of my deck."
The trap card let out a force of light, and it pushed Fiend Megacyber back, while Ellie took the card that was in her hand, and then exchanged it with her top card, then she shuffled.
"You're good. This is by far the best duel I've had all day," Kyle complimented.
"Thank you," Ellie said sweetly to him.
"Just don't think that means I'm gonna go easy," Kyle put his sunglasses above his head, while Ellie did the same, revealing her emerald green eyes. Kyle's heart just stopped when he saw her eyes. "By God. She's hot, her eyes are as beautiful as a gem, and she loves Duel Monsters. I have gotta get to know her more."
"You're not too bad yourself. Most opponents don't fare this long and well against me."
"I have a gift, is what I think. I was just born this good."
"That makes two of us. I've been playing this game since I was 5."
"Well, I say we talk later. For now, let's duel. It's your move."
"All right. Then I think I'll activate this card: Change of Heart."
Then a golden light shined on the Fiend Megacyber and he walked over to Ellie's side of the field.
"Now I sacrifice your Fiend Megacyber, so I can summon back to the field, Tethys, Goddess of Light."
Fiend Megacyber vanished, then her Goddesss of Light reappeared on the field.
"And with no cards in your hand, you can't use the power of Ordeal of a Traveler."
"Ah, crap!" Kyle exclaimed.
"Goddess of Light, attack a Shield Wall," Ellie commanded and her monster shot a stream of light, destroying one of Kyle's stone warriors. "I think I'll stop there."
"Then it's my turn. I go," Kyle drew his next card. "Now I think I'll put this monster faced down. I end it there."
"Then it's back to me. I use my Goddess' special ability. If I draw a fairy monster while she's on the field, then I can draw an extra card by showing you the card I just drew. So here it is," Ellie held a Happy Lover up, then drew again. "Now I activate Fairy of the Spring." She held up a magic card with a completely silver woman, who was holding two swords in her hands. "This lets me take an equip card from my graveyard and put it in my hand, but I can't play it on this turn. So I'll just destroy your faced down monster."
Tethys shot another stream of light at Kyle's monster, which was revealed to be the Morphing Jar, and it was destroyed.
"No, not the Morphing Jar!" Ellie exclaimed.
"That's right. Now we have to toss out all cards in our hands, and draw 5 more," Kyle explained drawing 5 cards.
Ellie sighed sadly and tossed out her cards, then drew 5 more as well. "I end my turn."
Kyle drew his card. "Now I activate Tribute Burial," he held up the same magic card Keith used in their duel. "With this I'll remove your Happy Lover and my Makyura the Destructor from the graveyard." And they both took the cards Kyle chose from their graveyards. "Now I get to summon a high level monster without having to sacrifice. Meet the all powerful Des Volstgalph!"
And once more, Kyle's big, red and blue dragon arose, and stood straight behind him.
"I think I'll also give my monster a little power boost, with Dragon Treasure," Kyle said playing a magic card.
Des Volstgalph: ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000.
"Now I have the stronger monster. Des Volstgalph, attack her Goddess of Light!"
Des Volstgalph fired a blue green blast out of its mouth, and destroyed Ellie's Goddess of Light.
Ellie: 3100 LP Kyle: 3500 LP.
"Your Des Volstgalph may be strong, but I'm gonna take it down."
"Go ahead and try."
"All right. My turn. I play Polymerization! With this I fuse Robolady and Roboyarou together, and create Super Robolady."
Super Robolady: ATK: 1200 DEF: 500.
And in a bright flash of light, in front of Ellie, a lady wearing a pink robotic suit of armor and helmet with red goggles, yellow spikes on the shoulders, on the sides and on top of her helmet, and she was wielding a double bladed lance.
"In case you haven't noticed, my Des Volstgalph is still stronger. Plus you gave him 200 more attack points when you played Polymerization."
"Maybe. But I'm not done. I also add this: My Shrink magic card."
Des Volstgalph: ATK: 1550 DEF: 2000.
"Big deal. He's still stronger than your monster."
"Not for long. Each time Super Robolady engages in battle, she gets 1000 more attack points."
Super Robolady: ATK: 2200 DEF: 500.
"But don't forget, I still have ordeal of a traveler."
"Not for long. I now activate Heavy Storm."
And from the card Ellie played high winds erupted, and destroyed all the magic and trap cards Kyle had.
"Now your Des Volstgalph only has an attack of 1450 while Robolady has 2200. Go, Super Robolady! Attack his Des Volsgalph!"
The robotic woman ran towards Kyle's red and blue dragon, and she slashed him with her weapon, destroying him.
Ellie: 3100 LP Kyle: 2750 LP.
"That's enough torture for now. Go ahead and try to destroy my monster, if you can."
"I'll give it my best go," Kyle replied and drew a card. "I play one card faced down, then summon my Sangan in defense mode."
Sangan: ATK: 1000 DEF: 600.
In front of Kyle, in defensive mode, appeared a round, orange monster, with three eyes, and green arms and legs.
"That's it?"
"For now, yes. Make your move."
"If you say so. Super Robolady, attack his Sangan!"
The Robolady charged and slashed Sangan with her weapon, making him burst into pixels.
"By destroying Sangan, you activated his special ability, letting me move any monster with an attack of 1500 or less from my deck, straight to my hand," Kyle explained while searching his deck, then he pulled a card and shuffled his deck.
"Back to you."
"All right. Then I begin by summoning my Revival Jam in defense mode."
Revival Jam: ATK: 1500 DEF: 500.
Then on a giant card, in front of Kyle a blue slime monster appeared in front of him.
"This Revival Jam will provide the perfect defense. I play another card faced down, and stop there. Now take down Revival Jam, if you can."
"You may not have noticed, but Revival Jam only has a defense of 500. He's easy picking. Especially for this card: Sonic Maid."
Sonic Maid: ATK: 1200 DEF: 900.
In front of Ellie, musical notes started to flash in light, and from them, appeared a woman with long, red hair, wearing a pink dress, a musical note sash around her arms, and on the back of her neck, and she wielded a musical note shaped weapon.
"These two monsters have enough to take out your Revival Jam."
"Well, if you think attacking Revival Jam will help, then by all means, go right ahead."
"Sonic Maid, attack his Revival Jam!"
The music woman ran at the blue slime, and slashed him with her music note weapon, causing it to splatter through the air.
"Your living slime in splattered."
"Is he?"
Ellie looked to the splattered revival jam, and all the globs of goop had started to reform, and put itself back the way it was, until it stood good as new.
"What?"
"That's the ability of my Revival Jam. Each time he's destroyed, he reforms himself. Simple as that," Kyle explained. "And I also activate my faced down card: Card of Safe Return." Kyle flipped a card with a man on his knees and elbows, his life being drained into three cards above him. "Each time a monster is revived, I can draw three cards."
"I may not have been able to destroy Revival Jam with my monster, but how about this? My Fissure magic card." Ellie played a card with a hand sticking out of the ground. "This would destroy the monster who has the lowest attack on your side of the field, but you only have one monster. So your Revival Jam is done."
"Afraid not. I'm prepared for that, too. Activate, Riryoku Field!" Kyle flipped a trap with man in the middle of a vortex of light. "This trap activates when you use a magic card on one of my monsters. It lets me stop that card and destroy it." And the trap card shot a blue sphere of light at Ellie's Fissure card, and destroyed it.
"I'll end my turn there."
"Then with a new hand, comes a new strategy. I begin by playing two cards faced down, then I summon my Cave Dwelling Dragon in defense mode."
The Dragon Dwelling in the Cave: ATK: 1300 DEF: 2000.
Then right next to Kyle's Revival Jam, a dragon with dark green scales, a lighter and pale green back, along with fangs sticking out of both sides of its mouth appeared.
"I'll stop there."
Ellie drew a card then she laughed a little, and kissed it. "Time for you to meet my best card. I sacrifice Robolady and Sonic Maid," she gave up her two monsters, which turned gold and disappeared into sparkling particles. "Now I call forth Guardian Angel Joan!"
Guardian Angel Joan: ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000.
Then a really bright light shined in front of Ellie, and as it started to fade, it revealed a woman looking similar to Serenity's St Joan, only she wore all white, with gold linings on her uniform, she had big wings on her back, and wore a long white dress.
"I love this card so much. It's one I'll never part with. And it's powerful enough to take out your defensive monster. Guardian Angel Joan, attack his dragon!"
The guardian angel put her hands in front of her, and started to create a ball of golden light, which she fired at Kyle's Cave Dwelling Dragon.
"Not so fast. Reveal Jam Defender!" Kyle flipped yet another trap card. This one has a design of Revival Jam shielding a monster in the shadows from a blast.
As the gold light got closer to the dragon, Revival Jam jumped in front of it, and it got hit instead, then it got splattered, and then reformed itself.
"What was that?"
"Thanks to this trap card, every time you try to take out one of my monsters, Revival Jam will shield them. And need I remind you he can't be destroyed by your monsters? Plus, my Card of Safe Will activates once more. Letting me draw three more cards," Kyle explained and drew his cards.
"I still have Guardian Angel Joan's special ability. Each time she destroys a monster, its attack is added to my life points."
Ellie: 4600 LP Kyle: 2750 LP.
"My turn is completed."
"Then let's see what I can pull next," Kyle drew his card. "Yes! My Five Headed Dragon. And I have two monsters on the field, plus three more I need in my hand." He looked back to Ellie. "Now I activate my last faced down: Dragon Revival Ritual." Kyle revealed his ritual card. "With this I'll sacrifice my two monsters on the field. Along with these in my hand: Shovel Crusher, Gil Garth, and Robotic Knight." And those three monsters appeared on the field, then a magical seal on the appeared on the ground in a flash of white light.
The five monsters each took a place at the five corners of the seal, then turned the colors of green, purple, yellow, red, and blue. After that, the turned into spheres and streams of the colored light shot up, turned into a bigger, silver sphere, went behind Kyle, and burst into light, where the dragon's shadow could be seen. The light faded, and once more, Kyle's favorite monster stood behind him.
"Meet Five Headed Dragon. Once he's summoned to the field, he destroys all your cards on the field," said Kyle as his dragon roared and destroyed Ellie's monster.
"Oh, no. I'm finished!"
"Don't be so sure."
"Huh?"
"You're not finished just yet. Five Headed Dragon can't attack the same turn he's summoned. So this gives you a chance to defend yourself. But just in case something happens to go wrong, I'll lay this faced down on the field." Kyle laid one more card faced down. "I'll let you take over."
"All right. I think I'll hide a monster in face down defense mode. That's all I can do for this turn."
"Then it's time for you to feel the wrath of Five Headed Dragon. But first, let's take things up a notch. I play Negate Defense," Kyle raised a magic card with a soldier in a silver armor, being restrained by a purple monster, preventing him from defending himself. "This card lets me switch your defensive monster to attack mode. So let it be revealed."
Fire Sorcerer: ATK: 1000 DEF: 1500.
Ellie's monster flipped up, revealing a girl with long, blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing a long black dress, and a black hat.
"Fire Sorcerer, huh? A perfect target for Five Headed Dragon. Go! Destroy her monster, Five Headed Dragon!"
The dragon's five heads looked down to the opposing monster, then blasted it off the field.
Ellie: 600 LP Kyle: 2750 LP.
The whole stadium gasped in awe then cheered at seeing such a great move.
"One more move like that and I win."
"You haven't won. Not yet."
"Then I'll put a card faced down. Make your move."
"Very well. I shall!" Ellie picked up her card. "Now I play Pot of Greed. So now I can draw an extra 2 cards." And she picked up two more. "Perfect. Now I use Monster Reborn. Return to me Guardian Angel Joan!" Ellie called out and then a gold light shined in front of her, returning her fallen monster.
"That activates my Card of Safe Return, allowing me to draw three more cards."
"Next I'll play this: My Shrink card. This cuts Five Headed Dragon's attack points in half."
Five Headed Dragon: ATK: 2500 DEF: 5000.
And a blue aura shined on Five Headed Dragon, making him shrink by half his size.
"Yes! Now my Guardian Angel Joan is the mot powerful monster. Not to mention she's a monster of light, meaning she can destroy Five Headed Dragon."
"Go for it then. I dare you."
"I will. Guardian Angel Joan, attack his Five Headed Dragon!"
And Guardian Angel Joan once more shot a stream of gold light from her hands.
"By doing this, you triggered my faced down. Go, Dragon Treasure!" Kyle yelled flipping a magic card. "This gives Five Headed Dragon 300 more attack points."
Five Headed Dragon: ATK: 2800 DEF: 5300.
"Now our monsters our evenly matched!" Ellie exclaimed. "They'll both be destroyed."
Five Headed Dragon's five heads shot their five blasts from their mouths, and it bypassed Guardian Angel Joan's gold light blast, then the two blasts hit the opposing monster, destroying them both.
"My Guardian Angel Joan may be gone, but her special ability still remains. Five Headed Dragon's attack points are added to my life points."
Ellie: 5600 LP Kyle: 2750 LP.
"My turn is finished."
"Then it's back to me," Kyle drew his next card. "I think now I'll play Double Spell. By tossing out a magic card from my hand, I can select another one that's in your graveyard. So let's ditch this Infinite Cards one." Kyle tossed a magic card with two hands tossing Duel Monster cards into the air. "And I know exactly the card I want."
Then a card shot from Ellie's graveyard, towards Kyle, and he caught it.
"Activate Monster Reborn! Now come forth, mighty Five Headed Dragon!" Kyle yelled.
Then a bright, silver light shined from behind him, and from the ground, the Five Headed Dragon arose from the grave.
"Go, my perfect beast. Attack her life points directly."
The dragon shot its five blasts, and it hit Ellie, making her drop to her knees.
Ellie: 600 LP Kyle: 2750 LP.
"How did you like that?" Kyle asked confidently.
Ellie, who'd just recovered from handling such a powerful attack got back up. "Oh, I like it a lot. Never felt an attack so strong."
"That's not the kind of answer I was expecting. Oh, well. I still have the advantage, and you have only 600 life points left."
"If I can pull through I believe I can still win."
"Go ahead and try, then. My turn is over."
Ellie stood straight, looked up to Kyle's dragon, then back down to her deck. Then she drew her card. "Perfect. Just the card I need." She looked back to face Kyle. "It's time to end this. I have just the card to do it."
"I doubt it can defeat my Five Headed Dragon."
"You're right, it can't. But it's still my winning card. I'm gonna defeat you by turning your own monster against you."
"What?!" Kyle exclaimed in disbelief.
"You heard me. I activate Rebellion!" Ellie held a magic card with angry men, and one charging at their ruler with a sword. "This let's me use one of your own monsters against you, by making it attack you. And what better way to end this than with your all powerful dragon?"
The Five Headed Dragon turned around to face Kyle, then charged up its blasts.
Kyle looked back to Ellie and smiled at her. "You did it. You won the duel." And just after he said that, his dragon blasted him.
Ellie: 600 LP Kyle: 0 LP.
"Winner!" the announcer yelled and everyone cheered. He went over to Ellie, grabbed her by her right arm, then raised her hand into the air. "This was one of the best duels this stadium has ever seen. Thank you contestants."
"I guess my work here is done. I'm gonna walk out of here with my head held high, knowing I faced the greatest duel of my life."
He walked out of the ring and towards the exit, and he looked back to Ellie, who winked at him.
On the outside of the stadium, at night with the full moon and stars filling the sky, after claiming his money for all his victories, Kyle was heading to his truck.
Before he could unlock the doors, someone stopped him.
"Hey there."
He looked behind him to see Ellie coming out of the stadium. "Oh, hey."
"I've been looking for you," she walked to him and took off her sunglasses.
"You were looking for me?" Kyle asked as his heart started to pound heavily.
"Yep. It's Kyle, isn't it?"
"Yeah. And you. Ellie, right?"
"You got it. That duel we played, that was so much fun."
"Yeah. I had a lot of fun, too. You're a tough opponent."
"You're young, but you have silver hair I noticed."
"Oh, yeah. It's just I uh, I-" Kyle was so dazed by her look that he couldn't speak.
"I like it."
"You like it?"
"Mm-hmm. And just between you and me, you're kind of cute."
Then Kyle dropped to the ground.
"Are you okay?"
"Did you just call me cute?"
"Yep. You were such a gentleman in there."
Kyle got back up. "Then there's something I wanna ask you."
"Ask me anything."
"How'd you like to go out on a date, one of these days."
"I'm free Friday night."
"Friday it is then."
Ellie pulled out a pen and a notepad, then scribbled something down on one of the pages, ripped it out, then gave it to Kyle. "My address."
"See you then, gorgeous."
Ellie blew him a kiss then walked off.
Kyle unlocked the doors of his truck and got in. Inside, he just sat there, and sank into his seat like how his heart sank deeply into him. "I have a date! I have a date!" Kyle happily exclaimed.
Well, looks like someone just found love. I hope you liked this chapter, I know I did. I thought of this right before I started working on the last chapter. In the next one, Kyle will have that date, but just a little spoiler, it'll have a little negative turn in it. Know what I'm talking about? If not, well you'll find out soon enough. Please read, review, and enjoy.
