Also, I followed how the duel as it went on the show. The only originality is the dialogue
Chapter 9: Rex
"from the wicked who are out to destroy me, from my mortal enemies who surround me. They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance. They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground."- Psalm 17:9-11
Two sets of duels, based on revenge, are on a train bound to nowhere. The first duel takes place towards the end of the duel will determine if pettiness and jealously will win or if skill and love for friends will reign supreme.
Duel Start
Joey 4000/Rex 4000
"I'll go first, since I am the one who challenge you" says Rex smugly. Rex looks at his hand and is delighted at what he has. "Well then, it seems like this duel is already been decided; "I play the field card spell The Seal of Orichalcos" "CRAPPPPP" thinks Joey, "I'm already up the creek without a paddle". A slot opens up on Rex's duel disk and he puts the card in the slot, activating it. Once the Seal is activated, it appears as a small circle on the field and then grows exponentially fast surrounding both Joey and Rex and causing both Duke and Tristian to be push back. "Ahhhhh" cry out both Duke and Tristian as the Seal nearly causes them to fall off the train. "GUYS" cries out Joey terrified for his friends. "We are fine" says Tristan as both teens get back up.
"Forget about them, Wheeler. You should worry about yourself because now that the Seal is activated. All my monsters now get a 500 point boost and the loser of this duel will be taken by the Seal itself." says Rex manically as the Seal appears on his forehead, "and I'm pretty sure that it will be your soul to lose Wheeler". "Will see about that" says Joey putting up a tough front. "It still my turn I play two of my Gilasaurus (1400 atk/400 def) in attack mode and I also summon Kaitoptera (1400 atk/ 1000 def) on the field along with a facedown card as well." After summoning all his monsters, each one receives the Seal on their foreheads, along with the 500 points boost.
"Man this isn't good" Joey thinks to himself, "My turn, I draw". I summon Panther Warrior(2000 atk/ 1600 def) in attack position and I'll set a facedown card. "My monster has more than enough to wipe the floor with Rex's monsters. But I have to worry about his facedown card and with that Seal on the field; I just can't be reckless right now. So, I'm just going to have to play it safe for now" thinks Joey, "and that ends my turn".
"Hehehe, what's the matter Wheeler? Does the Seal have you tucking your tail?" taunts Rex, "My turn, I draw. Now I play the magic card Polymerization which allows me to fuse my monsters Kaitoptera and one of Gilasaurus together to fusion summon Horned Saurus (2000 atk/ 1000 def) and I also play Giant Rex (2000 atk/ 1200 def). Don't forget that with the Seal on the field my new monsters get a power boost" explains Rex as his monsters receives the Seal's power. Both monsters now have 2500 atk points. "Oh man, Joey is in big trouble" says Tristian. "I'll say it's not looking too good for Joey" comments Duke.
"Now, since I have Horned Saurus on the field its special effect activates. Whenever this card is fusion summoned, it can attack you directly. So prepare yourself, Wheeler. Because your life points are about to go extinct" With that said the dino monster takes to the air and sky dives directly at Joey effectively hitting him and taking a big chunk of his life points. The force of impact from Rex's monster sends Joey crashing into the Seal's barrier. "AHH" cries out Joey as he hits the Seal's barrier and falls down. "JOEY" cries out both teens.
Joey 1500/ Rex 4000
"I'm not through yet" says Rex (not even caring that his opponent could be hurt), "next I have Giant Rex take out your pathetic Panther Warrior". Rex's monster then attacks Joey's monster and it is soon crush under the weight of Rex's monster and disappears alongside with another portion of Joey's life points.
Joey 1000/Rex 4000
"Wow, we're not even a few rounds into this and Joey is already hanging by a thread" says Duke. Everyone around is seemly impress in how much stronger Rex has gotten. "This isn't nothing" says Joey while struggling to stand up, "I've been through worse". Joey then walks back to his original spot. "I'm still not through yet, I have one more monster on the field and it's itching to take you out" says Rex manically. "Master Dartz was correct to give me this card. I can finally get my revenge on Wheeler for humiliating me in Duelist Kingdom and with The Seal of Orichalcos I can finally obtain it" "Your finished Wheeler, my other Gilasaurus will complete our revenge on you and take out the rest of your life points; Go Gilasaurus."
Just as Rex is finish giving out his command, Joey has a ghost of a smirk on his face. "Not so fast their pal; I still have my facedown card to play. I play Scapegoat." With that said Joey's facedown card flips over to reveal four multi-colored Sheep Tokens (0 atk/ 0 def) in the defense position. "Now my life points are safe for the time-being" says Joey as Rex's monster attacks one of the tokens.
"Alright Joey" says both Duke and Tristian, of which the latter has a hand over his heart. "Man, don't you think your cutting it pretty close there Joey" complains Tristian. "Sorry Tristian" says Joey sheepishly.
"Darn it, I was so close. Oh well, that doesn't matter; your only delaying the inevitable" says Rex with a hint of disappointment as he ends his turn. "Alright now it's my turn, I draw; Good thing that I played that trap card when I did or I would be a goner now. Now let's see what I can use". Joey looks at his hand and isn't disappointed. "I don't have much but, with that accursed Seal on the field; there isn't much that I can do right now. I have to make this work if I'm going to defeat Rex and I got to make it work soon"
Joey looks at his hand once more and decides that the best course of action for him right now is to stay on the defense. "Okay, I play Rocket Warrior (1500 atk/ 1300 def) in defense mode and I put two more cards facedown. And that ends my turn".
"Hehehehe is that all you can do?" questions Rex smugly, "well, I guess I have to make short work of all of your monsters. Horned Saurus attack Wheeler's Rocket Warrior." "Not so fast" interrupts Joey, "I play the trap card Magical Arm Shield; with this card I take control of one of your monsters and have it become your new target. And I choose your other Gilasaurus" Joey's trap card is about to grab said monster when one of Rex's facedown card flips over. "Not quite there yet, Wheeler; I play my facedown card Jurassic Heart. With this card I can negate any trap card that targets one of my dinosaur type monsters and I choose your Magical Arm Shield"
A frustrated growl escapes Joey as his strategy to protect his monsters fails. "Now with that pesky trap card gone, I can now continue with my original attack" says a very delighted Rex as his monster destroys Joey's Rocket Warrior and then proceeds to have his two other monsters destroy two more of Joey's Sheep Tokens; which leaves him with only one token left.
"Hehehehehe looks like you're down to your last token. You better watch out Wheeler, because my dinos are hungry for revenge and they are coming for you in the next turn" says Rex smugly as he sets another card and ends his turn.
"Don't give up Joey" yells Tristian, "you can still turn this thing around". "Yeah, what he said" says Duke. "Man, I got to think of something. I can't go out like this. I have to stop Rex and go and find Yami. He needs us right now. I can't give up" thinks Joey. "My turn I draw" Joey looks at his new card and a smirk grows on his face. "Alright, this is just what I needed". "Okay, I reveal my other facedown card Star Blaster. With this spell card I can choose one monster on my side of the field and roll a dice; raising its power level based on the number on the die. I then can tribute that same monster to special summon another monster with the same power level that it is in my hand" explains Joey, "and I choose my last remaining Sheep Token.
As the die begins to spin, everyone is holding their breath waiting to see if Joey's gamble will pay off or will it dramatically backfire.
The die stops its spin to revel the number six. "ALRIGHT, just what I needed" says a very happy Joey, "my Sheep Token's level goes from level 1 to level 7. And do you know what that means; don't yeah Rex" taunts Joey. "You don't mean" Rex goes to say with the look of realization on his face. "Yes, say hello to an old friend Red-Eyes Black Dragon (1) (2400 atk/2000 def)" says Joey triumphantly.
"Even though you managed to summon him; you still don't have enough to defeat my monsters" says Rex. "Your right about that Rex; but I still have another card to play. And I play this, the magic card Metalmorph; which not only gives any monster that I equip it too a shiny new make-over, but it also receives a 300 power boost". With that said Joey's monster attack points go to 2700. "Alright Joey" says a very ecstatic Tristan. "Only Joey can gamble with luck and make it work" says a very satisfied Duke.
"Now, Red-Eyes not only does he get a 300 point power boost; but when he attacks another monster he gets an additional power boost that is equal to half of the opposing monster's attack points and I choose your Horned Saurus. Go Red Eye's and destroy Rex's monster and wipe the floor with his life points" commands Joey.
Joey 1000/ Rex 2550
"I set another card facedown and end my turn" says Joey very smugly. "Darn that smirk of his. I need to wipe it off" thinks Rex to himself, "I draw". Rex looks at the card he just drawn and starts to laugh "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, just when you thought you gain the upper hand. The Seal has granted me another chance at defeating you" says Rex darkly, "And with this new monster that I just drawn. It will be the key to your down fall and complete my revenge on you, Joey Wheeler"
Sorry, if I'm ending another chapter on a cliff-hanger; writing this chapter turns out to be a lot longer than I anticipated; so I have to break it into two chapters. But, I'm not going to leave y'all high and dry. The duel continues into the next chapter.
Author's Note
Red Eyes use to be Rex's card. But Joey won it in one of their previous duels.
