Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Heart of The Duelist
Chapter 9: The Duel of Risks
"Prepare to meet your demise, Jaden." said Xile.
"What are you talking about." said Jaden as he drew his card. "The hero always wins. And speaking of heroes, I summon the Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode.". Suddenly the ground shattered and Elemental Hero Clayman emerged to the field, standing guard.
(LV: 4 ATK: 800 DEF: 2000)
"I set two cards facedown and end my turn." continued Jaden.
"Very well, Jaden." said Xile as he drew his card. "I shall start by summoning the Shadow's Lancer in attack mode.". A black cloud formed on the field and a dark warrior, wielding a lance, stepped out. The cloud then disappeared.
(LV: 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 300)
"Next," continued Xile, "I equip my Lancer with the Dark Gauntlet. This powerful spell card increases the attack strength of my monster by 800 points."
The Lancer extended his hand and a dark aura surrounded it, forming a black metallic gauntlet. The Lancer was covered in a dark aura, as if getting energy.
(ATK: 1800 → 2600)
"This can't be good." said Jaden, amazed and terrified at the strength of the monster.
"It gets much worse, Jaden." said Xile with a smile. "whenever my lancer attacks a monster in defense mode, you still take damage equal to the difference."
"WHAT!?" yelled Jaden. Xile stood in silence as Shadow's Lancer went for a charge and his lance cut through Clayman, causing him to shatter. Jaden felt immense pain and fell on one knee to the ground.
(Jaden: 4000 → 3400)
"What...just..happened?" asked Jaden.
"Did I forget to mention?" said Xile with a smile, "If you take damage in this game, you will really take damage. If you lose." Xile paused and gave a small chuckle "It won't be pretty."
"That may be." said jaden as he got back on his feet, "But I don't give up so easily. I reveal the Hero Signal Trap Card." A card flipped up and a light beamed out of it, forming a circle with a giant 'H' in the sky.
"This card is very helpful." continued Jaden, "Whenever one of my Elemental Heroes are destroyed in battle, I can activate this card to being another one to the field from my deck to take revenge. I summon the Elemental Hero Bustinatrix." Instantly a flame vortex appeared on the field and Elemental Hero Burstinatrix appeared.
(LV: 3 ATK: 1200 DEF: 800)
"Very clever, Jaden." said Xile. "I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn here. It's your turn, Jaden...make it count."
"Don't think I won't." said Jaden as he drew his card. "I'll start by playing Pot of Greed to draw 2 new cards." Jaden drew his cards and was shocked, "Next, I play polymerization to fuse Avian and Burstinatrix to summon the Elemental Hero Flame Wingman." continued Jaden as Avian appeared on the field and entered a vortex with Burstinatrix from which Elemetnal Hero Flame Wingman appeared.
(LV: 6 ATK: 2100 DEF: 1600)
"That's not all." Jaden continued, "I also play the Field Spell Skyscraper." As jaden placed the card on the duel disk, buildings began to appear on the field. Xile looked up at the tallest building and found Flame Wingman standing at the tip.
"I set two cards facedown and my Elemental Hero Flame Wingman will attack your Shadow's Lancer with Sky Dive Scorcher." Continued jaden, "Thanks to my Skyscraper, my Wingman gains a 1000 attack points if he attacks a monster stronger than mine."
(ATK: 2100 → 3100)
Elemental Hero Flame Wingman jumped in the air and began to fall towards Shadow's Lancer, turning into flames in the process. When Flame Wingman came in contact with the lancer, the lancer was destroyed. Xile was neutral in feeling, still smiling.
(Xile: 4000 → 3500)
"Now my Flame Wingman's special ability activates." continued Jaden. "Whenever my Flame Wingman destroys a monster in battle, you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack points."
Flame Wingman stood in front of Xile with his dragon hand pointing towards him. The mouth of the dragon hand opened and flames began to surround Xile.
(Xile: 3500 → 900)
"You fell right into my trap, Jaden." said Xile as a trap card reveled itself on Xile's side of the field. It had a picture of two people trapped to each other in dark chains, looking as if in pain.
"What is that?" asked Jaden.
"It's my Dark Bond Trap card." replied Xile, "During this turn, my opponent takes any effect damage I take as well."
Jaden was shocked as a dark static appeared from the card and struck Jaden. Jade was in unbelievable pain. "He saw this coming." thought Jaden as he hit the ground.
(Jaden: 3400 → 800)
"How does it feel, Jaden?" said Xile, laughing. "Surely, you're enjoying it."
"Not as much as I will enjoy this." said Jaden as he got back on his feet. "I reveal my Emergency Provisions spell card. This card allows me to destroy my two facedown cards and gain 1000 life points for each card."
"That may help you, Jaden." said Xile, "But my Dark Bond is still in effect. So, if you gain life points, I gain life points as well." Xile began to laugh as both facedown cards disappeared from the field.
(Jaden: 800 → 2800)
(Xile: 900 → 2900)
"This is gonna be tough." thought Jaden. "All my hard work just went down the drain because of his one card. If he keeps this up...I'm a goner."
That's it for this chapter. I hope it's interesting so far because there is so much more twists and turns in this duel you cannot imagine ;)
I apologize that this chapter is a little short though :( please forgive me.
Chapter 10 will be up soon! Happy Reading! :D
