Turn 10:
Imperial Wrath Awakening
"Coming up next is our second match!" Nico Smiley announced with his usual grin. He brought the microphone closed to his mouth as he spoke. "Let's get those introductions started!"
"You Show Duel School's Faji Ryu!" he called out as Ryu walked into the Stadium's center as the audience cheered much louder than before.
Meanwhile, Tatsuya, Futoshi, and Ayu looked very anxious. "Hey, come on, why are you guys getting nervous?" Shuzo asked out the blue as he noticed his students faces.
"Because Ryu-oniichan's opponent is that Kachidoki Isao!" Tatsuya told.
"His Dueling is so fearsome it gave me shivers!" Futoshi said.
"To think that the ace of LDS' Synchro Course, Todo Yaiba, would get beaten so badly..." Gongenzaka muttered next as he narrowed his eyes. "I, the man Gongenzaka, wouldn't underestimate such an opponent..."
"And his opponent is Ryozanpaku School's Kachidoki Isao!" Nico shouted as the ringing of a gong echoed through the Stadium. A student from the Ryozanpaku School rung the same gong several times as Kachidoki walked into the center of the Stadium.
The crowd stared silently. "The match hasn't started yet and I'm already scared!" Ayu whined.
"Smiling and Dueling don't belong together," Shuzo spoke up. "That's how the Martial Arts School Ryozanpaku trains their students. To them winning is everything, and that Kachidoki Isao is their ace... I can't help but feel worried for Ryu."
"Now that our competitors are facing each other, let us select the Action Field!" Nico yelled as a giant card started spinning above the two Duelists. The card eventually came to a stop. "Action Field on! Field Spell: Bamboo Forest of the Immortals, activate!"
The ground started vanishing as it got replaced by floating islands in the air with bamboo forests on them. Ryu stood in front of an entrance into a forest, while Kachidoki stood on a rock floating in the air.
Kachidoki threw his fist forward as if hitting an invisible opponent. "Duelists locked into battle," he started the chant as he kicked the air.
"Kicking against the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters!" Ryu continued.
"They storm through the battlefield!" Kachidoki went on punching the air once more. "Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!"
"Action...!" Nico snapped his fingers.
"DUEL!" the two Duelists shouted as several Action Cards fell over the Action Field.
Kachidoki - LP 4000
VS
Ryu - LP 4000
"I go first!" Ryu declared as he swiped a card from his hand onto his energy blade. "I normal summon Stein Blade Joker from my hand!" the monster came to life as it spun around on Ryu's field. The monster had a humanoid appearance, it was wearing a brown and gray armor with long dark leather-like wings. Its arms are 2 long scythes and it wore a brown mask with yellow highlight with yellow vertical slits (LV 4: ATK 1800).
"Next I set one card face-down and end my turn," he finished as a set card materialized on his field before vanishing.
"Draw!" Kachidoki shouted as he started his turn. "If my opponent controls a monster while I do not, I can normal summon Hayate the Earth Soaring Star from my hand without tributes!" he stated as the monster formed by his side. The warrior wore dark-blue armor and had light-blue pants. Its feet were covered in dark-blue armor and had wolf-like paws with three dark claws. Its eyes were an emerald green, it had long brown hair, red markings on its cheeks, and a wolf-hoodie over its head. Hayate the Earth Soaring Star spun its staff between its hands (LV 5: ATK 2100).
"There it is!" Nico yelled. "Kachidoki-senshiu has already summoned a high-level monster!"
"Next I activate Reinforcement of the Army to add a Level 4 or lower Warrior-type monster from my deck to my hand," Kachidoki continued as a card ejected from his deck. He took hold of it and showed it to his opponent. "I choose to add Kumo the Sky Rising Star. This monster can be special summoned from my hand if I control an Earth Warrior monster; appear!"
As the Martial Arts Duelist swiped the card on his energy blade, the monster appeared beside Hayate. This warrior had dark-blue armor all around its chest, while its muscular arms and hands were left bare. It wore some light-brown pants and had bear-like paws as feet. The warrior gave a battle cry as its obsidian eyes narrowed in anger. Kumo had a bear-hoodie over its head and held a giant rock ax (LV 4: ATK 1800).
"Battle!" Kachidoki called out. "I attack Stein Blade Joker with Hayate!" the said warrior launched towards its target with a battle cry.
"I activate the effect of Ice Blade Joker in my hand!" Ryu cried out. "By discarding it, Stein Blade Joker won't be destroyed by battle or cards for the rest of this turn!"
A transparent barrier formed around said monster as it blocked Hayate's attack. "But you still take the damage," Kachidoki reminded (LP 4000 - 300 = 3700). "I set one card face-down and end my turn."
"Then it's my turn!" Ryu drew his card. "I equip Stein with Scythe of the Joker, increasing its ATK by 500 and an extra 500 since this Equip Spell is equipped to a Joker monster!" the Fiend's scythe-hands elongated as it chuckled evilly (ATK 1800 + 1000 = 2800). "Battle! Stein Blade Joker will attack Hayate the Earth Soaring Star!"
"The effect of Kumo makes it so you can't attack other Earth monsters I control," Kachidoki explained. "Also, Kumo can avoid destruction once each turn!"
Stein Blade Joker threw its scythes against the warrior monster, but Kumo used its ax to deflect the incoming attack (LP 4000 - 1000 = 3000).
"I end my turn," Ryu muttered seeming unhappy with the results how the battle.
"Until now both Duelists are reducing each other's LP one by one! But who will win!?"
"Draw!" Kachidoki shouted. "I tribute Kumo in order to Advance Summon Iwa the Earth Soaring Star!" the Sky Rising Star burst into particles of light as a new monster took its place: Iwa had dark-blue armors on its arms, hand, hips, knees, while its muscular chest was left bare. The monster wore dark-yellow pants and had lion-like paws as feet. It had brown eyes and had a lion-hoodie over its head. The monster spun the lance it was holding between its hands as it gave a battle cry (LV 6: ATK 2400).
"Battle! Iwa the Earth Soaring Star will attack Stein Blade Joker! At the same time, its effect activates!" he stated. "When Iwa engages in battle while I control another Earth monster, it gains 1000 ATK! Do it!"
The warrior roared as it gained a fiery aura (ATK 2400 + 1000 = 3400). Ryu narrowed his eyes as he started running for an Action Card. He spotted one, but he didn't notice Kachidoki running towards it too. The Martial Arts Duelist rammed himself into Ryu, making the latter fall to the ground and give enough time for Kachidoki to grab the Action Card.
"You're too slow," he taunted with a smile. "The battle continues as it is!"
Iwa the Earth Soaring Star used its lance to cut the enemy monster into two, destroying it with ease (LP 3700 - 600 = 3100). "That's no fair!" Ayu shouted at the way his friend's opponent treated him.
"He would've gotten it if Kachodoki didn't get in the way!" Tatsuya added.
"That's so underhanded it gives me the shivers..." Futoshi sighed.
"With the battles end, Iwa's effect expires," Kachidoki said (ATK 3400 = 2400). "But now you're wide open for a direct attack! Go, Hayate!" the said monster launched towards its target.
Ryu narrowed his eyes as he dashed for another Action Card. "It seems you'll never learn," Kachidoki lamented as he followed the other Duelist. The Martial Arts user swung his feet towards Ryu, an attempt to block him, but to everybody's surprise, Ryu actually caught the leg and threw Kachidoki against the ground.
Ryu then quickly grabbed the Action Card and swiped into his Duel Disk. "Action Magic, Evasion will negate this attack!" he shouted as he jumped backward, dodging the attack.
"What marvelous acrobatics and willpower!" Nico gasped astonished. "Faji-senshiu has blocked Kachidoki-senshiu's fierce assault!"
"So you're more than what you show to the eye," Kachidoki mused as he brushed off some dust from his shoulder. "I end my turn."
"Then I'm up! Draw!" Ryu announced. "I activate the effect of Shine Blade Joker in my hand! By discarding it, I can add Water Lord of Judgment - Miseria from my deck to my hand! Next, I activate Ancient Rules from my hand enabling me to special summon Miseria from my hand!"
Ryu's Ace Monster formed beside him as it stared coldly at its opponent (LV 7: ATK 2500). "Here's Faji-senshiu's Ace Monster!" Nico cheered as the crowd's shouts grew louder.
"Battle! Miseria, attack Hayate the Earth Soaring Star! Neresus Stream!"
The Water Lord obeyed the command as a stream of water exploded from its palm, heading towards its target. "I activate the Action Card, Miracle," Kachidoki calmly stated. "Hayate's destruction is negated and the battle damage I take is cut in half."
A transparent barrier formed around Hayate as it protected it from the water (LP 3000 - 200 = 2800). "What's wrong? Are you already done!?" Kachidoki taunted.
Ryu started running in search for an Action Card and so did Kachidoki. The latter tried to kick Ryu once again, but Ryu saw this coming and dodged the attack with a barrel roll. He then tried to kick Kachidoki in the shoulder, but the latter used his arm as a shield to block the attack.
"What a fierce clash!" Nico shouted as the two Duelists continued to kick, punch, and block each other. "In all my years of commentary, I never saw such a Duel!"
"But this isn't... really Dueling..." Ayu muttered.
"They're beating up each other for the Action Cards..." Tatsuya added.
Kachidoki blocked another attack from Ryu, and swiftly punched the latter into the stomach making him wince in pain. Kachidoki then threw Ryu against the ground and he grabbed the Action Card they were fighting for.
While he was distracted with grabbing that Action Card, Kachidoki didn't notice Ryu getting back to his feet and pick up another Action Card from the ground.
"Action Magic, Wonder Chance!" Ryu cried out. "Miseria is now allowed to attack yet again! And I'll use him to attack Hayate once again! Neresus Stream!"
The Water Lord released another stream of water, and this time, it managed to destroy Hayate the Earth Soaring Star. "I activate the Action Card, Damage Banish!" Kachidoki informs. "The battle damage I would take becomes zero."
"I end my turn..." Ryu concluded.
"Draw!" his opponent shouted. "Since I control an Earth monster, I can normal summon Tenma the Sky Rising Star without tributes!" a new Sky Rising Star warrior formed beside Iwa: this monster had back armor over its chest, while on its arms it wore dark-blue leather clothes. It also wore some dark-green pants and brown shoes. The warrior had red eyes and had a horse-hoodie over its head (LV 5: ATK 2100).
"Battle! Iwa the Earth Soaring Star will attack your Miseria!" Kachidoki called out. "And with its effect, Iwa gains 1000 ATK!" he reminded (ATK 2400 + 1000 = 3400).
"By targeting Miseria, I activate Protective Arts of the Water Lord!" Ryu abruptly stated. "This card equips itself onto Miseria and makes it impossible to be destroyed by battle! Also once each turn, I make any battle damage involving the equipped monster become zero!"
A transparent barrier formed around Miseria as it blocked the enemy's attack (ATK 3400 = 2400).
"Alright. He defended himself," Gongenzaka nodded.
"If you think you survived, you're sorely mistaken," Kachidoki told as he took hold of a card in his hand and showed it to his opponent. "During the Battle Phase, I can activate the Quick-Play Spell, Supremacy Fusion which allows me to use Iwa and Tenma as Materials and Fusion Summon."
"A Fusion Summon during the Battle Phase?" Ryu gasped.
"Star racing across the heavens," Kachidoki chanted as he threw his fist against his palm. "Pass over the earth," he went on as he raised one hand into the air while the other forward. "Become one and shine as an eternal ruling star!" he shouted as he threw both arms to the side and stood on one leg while Iwa and Tenma swirled into a yellow and blue Fusion Portal behind him.
"Fusion Summon! Come to me! Level 10: Idaten the Conqueror Victory Star!"
The new monster that emerged from the portal had a much more intimidating appearance than Kachidoki's any other monsters. It wore black armor across its muscular chest and shoulders, while it wore cyan leather clothes under the armor. The warrior had dark-blue baggy pants and had a red and yellow robe around its waist. Its head was covered by a black helmet and a brown robe blew in the wind behind the monster. Idaten tightened the grip around the wooden trident in its hands as its eyes flashed yellow (LV 10: ATK 3000).
"What!? Kachidoki-senshiu has Fusion Summoned!?" Nico asked shocked. "After falling short of the Championship last year, he's evolved even further!"
"Let me tell Idaten's effect," Kachidoki said to his opponent. "Whenever this monster battles an opponent's monster with a lower Level, the opposing monster's ATK becomes zero!"
Ryu started running around the bamboo forest as he searched for an Action Card. "I won't let you! Battle!" Kachidoki cried out. "Idaten will attack Miseria! Idaten's effect activates!"
The Conqueror Victory Star's eyes flashed yellow as the Water Lord lost its power (ATK 2500 = 0). "The wind of victory only blows for those who have seen true darkness! Do it Idaten!"
Idaten swung its trident creating a strong gust of wind which hit Miseria head on and made Ryu fall off his feet as he took the damage (LP 3100 - 3000 = 100).
"Faji-senshiu is barely hanging on!" Nico shouted at the edge of his seat. "Now his LP are at a mere 100, will he be able to pull through this!?"
"I end my turn," Kachidoki concluded (Miseria's ATK: 0 = 2500). "Looks like you lived by the skin of your teeth, but the darkness will be upon you soon."
Ryu slowly stood back to his feet as the clear sky started to be covered in black clouds. "Fall into the pitch-black darkness," Kachidoki said as Ryu's eyes were dull.
A sudden lightning illuminated the Stadium as some raindrops started falling from the sky.
Kachidoki gasped as Ryu's eyes suddenly started glowing. "What...?" he gasped confused.
"I won't fall into darkness," Ryu said with a much colder voice. "My turn. Draw. I activate Card of Demise letting me draw five cards since I hold none."
As he drew his cards, one of the five was emitting a strong dark glow which sent chills down everybody's spine who stared at that dark light. Ryu took hold of that exact card. "I activate... the Spell Card... Fusion Arts of the Water Lord. This card allows me to use monsters from my hand and side of the field to Fusion Summon a Miseria or Joker monster..."
"What!?" Gongenzaka gasped.
"Ryu-oniichan can - !"
"Fusion Summon!?" Shuzo finished for the three kids.
"The monsters I fuse are Miseria on my field... and two more Miserias from my hand," Ryu told as he slid all the cards into his Graveyard. "The one who passes judgment with the forbidden water... become the new God who reigns over the Heavens and pass holy judgment!"
"FUSION SUMMON! REIGN SUPREME! THE WATER GOD OF HEAVEN'S JUDGMENT, MISERIA!"
The new Miseria which emerged from the portal had a very majestic appearance: its cyan hair was much longer than before, tied up in a braid while two yellow bangs swiped upwards resembling two demon-horns on top of the monster's head. Miseria now wore much more armor around its body and had dark-blue orbs on its shoulders, elbows, palms, knees. The God's eyes were a piercing purple and it had purple markings on its cheeks. The water robe around its shoulders continuously flowed with pure water (LV 12: ATK 4000).
"A Level 12 monster..." Kachidoki managed to mutter. "And it has 4000 ATK... what a monster..."
"Battle. The Water God of Heaven's Judgment, Miseria will attack Idaten the Conqueror Victory Star!" Ryu announced as he threw his hand forward. All the orbs attached to Miseria's body started glowing as the water flowing from its robe started to gather into its hands. "Its effect activates: when Miseria attacks an opponent's monster, the ATK of our enemy becomes zero; Heaven's Order!"
Kachidoki gasped as Idaten's eyes lost their glow (ATK 3000 = 0). "I activate my Trap Card - !"
"It's useless!" Ryu cut off his opponent. "The moment Heaven's Order is activated, the opponent can no longer activate any card effects until the end of Damage Calculation!"
"What!?" Kachidoki cried out shocked as Miseria released the water from its hands which struck Idaten with a great force, making the Martial Arts Duelist cry in pain as he was throw off his feet and landed on his back (LP 2800 - 4000 = 0).
Winner: Faji Ryu!
The Action Field vanished as the Duel ended. The whole Stadium was left speechless at Ryu's fierce attack, even Nico had to recompose himself before speaking up. "T-The w-winner is Faji-senshiu!"
The crowd remained silent, however. Shuzo clapped his hands as he tried to cheer for his student. "G-Good job Ryu..."
"I'm so scared I've got the shivers..." Futoshi muttered.
"Ryu-oniichan..."
"Seems like a different person..." Tatsuya finished for Ayu.
The glow in Ryu's eyes faded away and the Duelist gasped as he realized what he's done. "Kachidoki!" he shouted worried for his opponent. He ran up to him as he offered a hand for help. "Are you ok!?"
Kachidoki gritted his teeth as slapped the offered hand away. He quickly stood back to his feet as he bowed at the owner of his school as the latter left the Stadium.
"D-Damn it..." Ryu whispered as he clenched his fists. "I... I did the same thing as Ryx and Ryh... didn't I...?"
Ryu has also gone berserk and he obtained new cards from this: the Fusion card and the Fusion Monster. I'm telling you guys now, a part of the name of this new Miseria has a special meaning, namely the 'God of Heaven's Judgment' part. This meaning will be discovered down the line of the story.
I really hated how Kachidoki was treated in the Anime: I mean we never really knew much about the cards in his Deck, so I took this opportunity to create and make his use some new cards. The Trap Card he wanted to activate before the end of the Duel was Evil Sealing Flash for any of you wondering.
About Ryu and Kachidoki's 'fight' for the Action Cards: since Ryu is a ninja from the Fuma Clan Duel School, I thought it would be a cool little thing to do, making the two fight each other with fists for the Action Cards.
That's really all for today's chapter, next episode we'll return to our little heroes in the Lost Dimension! Which means Yu-boys and Yu-girls action next chapter.
