Accelerating Courage: Chapter 10:
Fortune Cup First Day Part 2: The Synchro Hater
The fortune cup went smoothly after Leo's defeat. The second round went to Officer Hammer from sector security. Yusei had to hold Tai back for the duel. He ruthlessly used an Ally of Justice deck to decimate the opponent in a turbo duel. Next came Rex's lawyer, Monica. She used a deck focused around blocking the opponent and deck destruction in a ground duel. It made both Yusei and Tai sick to their stomachs. Then, Monica swore, she'd use a new deck for her next match.
Finally it was Yusei's turn to duel. His opponent was Rovan. He was about ten years older than Yusei and was clad in an old fashioned tuxedo. His eyes were a piercing blue and his hair was covered with an old gladiator helmet.
The two met for the for the third ground duel of the day. The two made their way to the field and activated their duel disks.
"Duel." The contests shouted.
(Both LP: 4000)
"Pull this of Yusei." Tai said from the garage. He was currently working on a computer glitch in his duel server with Travis and Leo not far away. Leo was still sulking over his last match.
"I guess we'll find out." Yuuko said coming in.
"Hi mom." Tai said, not looking up from his work.
"I shall take the first move." Rovan said in a gentle tone. "I place the field Spell card Coliseum-Cage of the Gladiator Beast." Rovan inserted the card into the side of his duel disk. The field around them turned into a coliseum with jungle like feel to it.
"Now when each of us summons a monster from our decks, this spell gets a counter, and for each counter, a gladiator beast monster gets 100 attack and defense points." Rovan explained. "I now summon a monster facedown in defense mode and end with two facedown cards."
"Gladiator beasts?" Yuuko asked.
"Monsters with the ability to switch out for others." Tai explained, having dealt with Gladiator beasts before during the enforcer days.
"So on a scale from 1 to 10, how screwed is Yusei?" Travis asked.
"I give it a 7.5, depending on the monsters used." Tai answered. "Plus Yusei knows about as much about these things as I do, so he could be ok."
"It's my move." Yusei declared, drawing. He looked at his opening hand of Turbo Synchron, Tunningware, Speed warrior, Scrap Iron Scarecrow, Junk Synchron and Card Rotator.
"I summon, Speed Warrior in attack mode. (LV 2 900/400)" Yusei explained. "And since it's the turn he was summoned, Speed Warrior's attack points are doubled." Speed Warrior glowed and got a power boost. (900-1800). "Speed warrior, Spin kick." The grey armored warrior spun and slammed into Rovan's monster. It was revealed to be a humanoid rhino in white armor. (LV 4 700/2100)
"Yusei, Fudo, meet Gladiator beast Hoplomus." Rovan explained.
(YLP: 3700)
"Now, since you attacked my I'm free to trade him in for another monster." Rovan explained, with a wicked grin. "And one monster in my deck requires to be special summoned by Hoplomus, so I send him back to summon Gladiator Beast Sparticus.(CC: 1) (LV 5 2300/1600-2400/1700) In place of the Rhino was a massive t-rex like monster. In its hand was a long battle ax. "Since he was summoned by Hoplomus, I can add a gladiator beast equip spell from my deck to my hand." He rummaged through his deck. "I choose my Gladiator Beast- Battle Gladius"
"Fine, I'll end with a facedown." Yusei explained.
"For Yusei's sake, I hope he doesn't summon again." Tai said.
"Why not?" Leo asked.
"The gladiator beasts can do something few monsters can called contact fusion, where they send two or more gladiator beast to the deck and summon a fusion monster." Tai explained. "Plus side is, they can go back to the deck too, but you can't re-summon the same prime monster used to summon it."
"They can do that?" Leo asked completely surprised.
"Oh yeah." Tai said.
"It's already the first move, and Rovan starts off strong." MC shouted to the excited crowd. All bets were placed on Rovan.
"Not Yusei's' best." Tanner pointed out.
Sora just stared in content. Apparently this Yusei guy was informed about their digimon experiences and help Tai while he was in the satellite. With him out, they may never get Tai to come back.
"It's my move." Rovan said. "I summon Gladiator beast Andal in attack mode. (1900/1500-2000/1600)" Rovan had summoned a black bear that stood on its hind legs. It was clad in dark blue armor, and its right eye was covered by an eye patch.
"What's its special power?" Yuuko asked.
"None that ones a normal monster." Tai explained.
"Now, Gladiator beast Andal, attack Speed Warrior with roaring claw." Rovan ordered.
Andal roared and slashed at Speed Warrior, ripping the monster to pieces. (YLP: 2500)
"Now I will attack you directly with Gladiator Beast Sparticus."
"Sorry, but I play my Scrap Iron Scarecrow." Yusei explained. "With this I can block one of your attacks, then I can place it facedown and use it next turn."
"Curses." Rovan groaned. "I end my turn with a facedown card."
"It's my turn." Yusei said, drawing. He smiled at the card he drew. "I discard my Turbo Synchron, so I can special summon my Quil-Spring Hedgehog in defense mode (LV 2 600/800)." Yusei summoned a monster similar to Quilbolt hedgehog, the only difference was the bolts were replaced with springs.
"Now I play my card rotator spell card, which switches the battle positions of all your monsters, so long as I discard a card, like my Tunningware." Yusei explained, discarding the card, while the two Gladiator beasts took a knee.
"Tuning," Rovan thought, "He wouldn't."
"Next I summon my Junk Synchron in attack mode (LV 3 1300/900). The orange Synchron took to the field. "And since I summoned my Synchron, I can special summon one level 2 or bellow monster from my grave, so welcome to the field Turbo Synchron. (LV 1 100/500)"
"Cute." Kari said, as the green car like synchron was summoned in defense mode.
"Next I tune my Quil-Spring Hedgehog with my Junk Synchron, to Synchro summon Junk Warrior. (2300/1300-2400/1300)." As the purple warrior took to the field, another torch in the cage lit up.
(CC 2)
(Andal 2100/1700)
(Sparticus 2500/1800)
"How dare you." Rovan growled. Everyone in the stadium could feel the anger flow off Rovan. "How DARE you bring that ATROSCITY to the field."
"I'm sorry?" Yusei asked confused.
"That Synchro monster, it besmirches the name of duel monsters." Rovan shouted angrily.
While Tai and Travis were focused on the duel, Leo made a call.
"I'm sorry you feel that way." Yusei said, completely lost.
"There is no apologizing." Rovan roared.
"This did not come up in his personality profile." Lazar commented, answering Director Goodwin's glare.
"Well then, Junk Warrior, take down Gladiator Beast Sparticus." Yusei ordered, still confused.
"I think not, I activate my defense tactics trap card." Rovan explained, revealing one of his three traps. "With this, my Gladiator beasts can not be destroyed this turn, and all battle damage is reduced to zero, then I send my defense tactics to the bottom of my deck."
"Clever." Yusei admitted, "I'll end my turn at that."
"So be it." Rovan drew his next card and smirked. "I play the continuous spell card Field Barrier."
"Damn it." Tai growled.
"What?" Yuuko asked.
"So long as this spell remains on the field, my Gladiator's cage cannot be destroyed, and no other field spell can be played." Rovan explained with a smirk.
"Thanks Dex." Leo said, ending the call.
"What?" Travis asked the younger boy.
"According to Dexter, several super tough Gladiator beast Fusion monsters were scrapped, because at the same time, Synchro monsters debuted." Leo explained.
"That can't be the only reason." Tai said.
"Now, I send my Gladiator Beast Sparticus, and Gladiator beast Andal back to my deck." Rovan explained, as the two hopped into a large swirling vortex.
"Is he fusion summoning?" Leo asked. Tai nodded.
"I fusion summon Gladiator beast Gaiodiaz in attack mode. (CC3) (LV 7 2600/ 1500- 2900/1800). In place of the two Gladiator Beast, was a massive version of Sparticus, it wore black and gold armor, a gladiator helmet, and in its hand was a larger ax. "Since I summoned a monster from my deck, I can activate the effect of my Double Tag Team Trap card." Rovan declared, revealing his trap. "Since I special summoned a monster from my deck, I can special summon one level 4 or below Gladiator beast from my deck, and I choose my Gladiator beast Laquari in attack mode. (CC4)" On the field was a flame covered humanoid Tiger. "Since he was special summoned from my deck, his original attack points are now counted as 2100." (Laquari 1800/400- 2100/400-2500/800) (Gaiodiaz 2900/1800-3000/1900)
"Now Gaiodiaz attack Junk Warrior with Gladiator's ax." The titan grabbed its weapon and swung it at Junk Warrior.
"I activate my Scrap Iron Scarecrow." Yusei said, revealing the trap.
"I'm afraid not," Rovan smirked. "I play my most recent trap card, Parry, by sending a gladiator beast from my hand to my deck, your trap card is negated."
Yusei's eyes widened at that statement. As it happened, Junk Warrior was ripped in two.
(YLP: 3200)
"And let's not forget Gaiodiaz's effect, you take battle damage equal to your destroyed monster's defense points.
(YLP: 1800)
"I end my turn." Rovan said with a satisfied smirk. "And because of which, I can now send my Gaoidiaz back to the deck to summon Andal, and Bestiari." (CC 6) (1900/1500-2500/2100) (LV 4 1500/800-2100/800) Rovan had resummoned his bear, and a large green hawk clad in battle armor. "Unfortunately, due to my newest monster, I must destroy a spell or trap, so I must now say goodbye to Field Barrier."
What, why's he ending his turn?" Leo asked. "He can destroy Turbo Synchron and leave Yusei's field empty."
"He wants Yusei to suffer." Tai answered in a monotone voice. "I've seen it dozens of times before, he wants Yusei to suffer, not for something he did, but for a problem in Rovan's past, and he wants to use Yusei's Synchro monsters to do it."
"It's my turn." Yusei said, "And I'll play my Card of Sanctity Spell card, now both of us draw until we have 6 cards in our hand."
"Best you can do I suppose." Rovan said cockily as the two drew.
"Next, I summon my Shield Warrior in defense mode. (LV 3 800/1600). Yusei summoned the large shield using monster to the field. "Next I play my Synchro City Field Spell."
"Your what?" Rovan asked as the field changed. Gone was the Coliseum, and in its place was a large city with circuits everywhere.
"So long as this field spell is out, I can summon any Synchro monster with one less level, provided the Tuner monster I use is a Synchron, plus it gains 500 attack and defense points just because it was a Synchron." Yusei explained.
"That's great and all, but why is the coliseum gone?" Kari asked.
"Their can only be one field spell out at a time." Tanner explained. "And now, Rovan's gladiator beast go back to their original attack points."
(GBL: 2100/400)
(GBA: 1900/1500)
GBB: 1500/800)
"Now I play my equip spell Synchro boost, giving a level and 500 attack points to my Shield warrior. (LV 3-4 1300/1600). Yusei explained as the shielded monster glowed with power. "Next, I tune my Turbo Synchron to my Turbo Warrior. (LV 6 2500/1500- 3000/2000). In place of the two monsters, was a large red, old fashioned car themed warrior. It had silver claws.
"Turbo Warrior, take out his Gladiator beast Bestiari." The claws on Turbo warrior lit up with black light, and slashed the bird like monster.
(RLP: 2500)
"I end with a facedown card." Yusei said, reliving his breath.
"Not that that wasn't a cool combo, but why didn't Yusei take out Laquiri instead."
"Bestari is used to summon Gladiator beast Gyzarus, which takes out any two cards of Rovan's choice which would have left him open for a game finisher." Tai explained.
"It is my turn." Rovan drew his next and smirked. "I discard one card from my hand to activate my trap booster spell card." Rovan explained.
"Trap booster?" Kari asked.
"It lets Rovan play a trap card, without the need to wait a turn with it being facedown." Tanner explained. "And I choose my Trojan Gladiator beast trap, with it, I summon a gladiator beast to your side, and draw once more."
"So who do I get?" Yusei asked.
"My Gladiator Beast Darius. (LV 4 1700/300)." Rovan smirked as a winged horse like warrior took to Yusei's field clad in orange armor in defense mode.
"Next is my Gladiator Taming spell card, which allows me to do one of two actions while I possess a Gladiator Beast." Rovan said, "And I choose to take control of a gladiator beast on your field."
The horse like Gladiator beast was pulled to Rovan's field by a long silver whip.
"Next I return my three Gladiator Beast back to my deck." Rovan sneered with a wicked grin.
"Now what's he summoning?" Leo asked Tai scared.
"A Gladiator beast that doesn't go back to the deck at the end phase." Tai groaned.
"I fusion summon Gladiator Beast Heraklinos (LV 8 3000/2800) In place of the three gladiator beasts was a massive rhino like warrior. It's face was painted and had feather's behind his head. It was clad in blue and green armor with wings similar to Bestari. In one hand was a shield with thrusters on it. The other was Spartacus's ax.
"That thing scares me." Leo gulped.
"It should, by discarding a card, it can negate any spell or trap card." Tai explained.
"Now I equip my monster with my battle Halberd, granting it 300 more attack points. (GBH 3000-3300).
"Now attack my monster, destroy that monstrosity." Rovan ordered.
"I activate." Yusei began.
"Activating your trap will bring you nowhere." Rovan shouted enraged. "Heraklinos can negate effects."
"Correction, spell and trap effects." Yusei smirked. "I discard my Lucky Warrior from my hand."
Just as the gladiator's ax was coming down, a monster's ghost took the field. It was sort of a jester like monster who wore armor that bore a striking resemblance to a black roulette wheel. In its hand was a large die.
"Now a die is rolled, and my Turbo Warrior gains 100 attack points times the number rolled." Yusei explained. Lucky Warrior tossed the die and it landed on a three (TW 3000-3300). Turbo Warrior's claws dug into Herkalinos' chest as the halberd entered Turbo Warrior's chest. The two turned into pixilated dust.
"Curses." Rovan groaned. "I end my turn by summoning a monster face down and playing my Gladiator Spirit Spell card, which enables me to summon a Gladiator beast monster I used to summon a fusion gladiator beast, and I chose my Andal in defense mode."
"That doesn't make any sense, how'd he forget his monster didn't work on monster effects?" Leo asked.
"Rage can cloud anyone's judgment." Travis explained.
"Here goes something." Yusei said. "I summon my Dash Warrior in attack mode. (LV 3 600/1200) Yusei's red speed warrior monster took to the field.
"Dash Warrior take out Gladiator beast Andal." Yusei ordered.
"Are you stupid?" Rovan demanded.
"Not really, Dash warrior gains 1200 attack points when it goes into battle." Yusei explained. (DW 600-1800). Dash Warrior slammed its foot into the bear, destroying Andal.
"I'll end with another facedown." Yusei said.
"This is ridiculous." Rovan growled, drawing. "I play pot of greed to draw twice more." He then got a wicked grin. "I reveal my Gladiator Beast Hoplulous, so I can special summon my test tiger in attack mode (LV 3 600/300)." Rovan had summoned a tiger to the field clad in blue and red armor, and revealed his facedown monster. "Next I activate my tiger's effect, by tributing it, and my Hoplulos, I can summon any Gladiator beast, and it will be treated as it would be summon by a Gladiator beast."
"So who do you chose?" Yusei asked.
"I pick Gladiator beast Sector. (LV 4 400/300)" Rovan explained. Rovan chose a gecko like Gladiator beast with bluish armor on. On each shoulder was a thruster like on Herkalino's shield.
"Oh, kay." Kari said confused.
"What's that one's power?" Leo asked.
"I really don't remember, only that it isn't a good thing for Yusei." Tai admitted.
"Next I play my Gladiator Beast Murmillo (LV 3 800/400). Rovan explained as a blue fish like warrior and turbines on its back took to the field.
"That's not scary." Leo commented.
"This coming from the kids who has a cell phone is his deck." Travis joked.
"Now, Murmillo, destroy Dash Warrior with turbine pulse." Rovan roared. The fish then destroyed Dash Warrior (YLP: 1600) "Now, Sector attack his life points directly."
(YLP: 1200)
"Now let me guess, you're sending you're monsters back to you're deck to summon two more monsters?" Yusei asked.
"You are partially right." Rovan chuckled. "My Sector's effect is quiet different from my other Gladiator Beasts, instead of sending it back to the deck, I can summon any two Gladiator Beasts from my deck."
"What?" Yusei said surprised.
"Oh yeah, that's the effect." Tai said sheepishly.
"Now I summon Gladiator Beasts Octavious, (LV 7 2500/1200) and Laquri (1800/400-2100/400). Rovan's two monsters were the flaming Gladiator and massive bald eagle with light green armor on and a cane like staff.
"Why didn't he summon that thing before?" Leo asked.
"Because, you have to discard a card at the end of each turn otherwise that overgrown chicken goes back to the deck." Tai said.
"So?" Leo asked not getting this.
"That would me more Gladiator Beasts in the graveyard and less in the deck." Travis explained.
"Oh." Leo said.
"Now for Octavious's ability, I can destroy one card on your side of the field." Rovan smirked. Yusei could only watch as his defense draw trap was destroyed.
"Now, I can summon my most powerful beast." Rovan roared with a psychotic laugh.
"Tai what monster is he talking about?" Travis asked.
"Don't look at me, I thought the best was Herklinos." Tai admitted, his eyes now lock on the screen.
"I remove my Gladiator Beast Sector, and my other three beasts to fusion summon, Gladiator Beast Dragonva. (LV 10 3750/400) In place of the four gladiator beasts was a monster that could be easily summed up in one word: Massive. A black humanoid dragon took to the field clad in gold armor. The inner parts of its wings was dark red as was its eyes. Its' jaw filled with razor sharp teeth. On its back was a massive cannon. In one hand was a saw like sword, in the other was a large red and black shield.
"What is that card doing there?" Dexter shouted.
"What are you talking about Dex?" Luna asked.
"Remember how Leo called earlier and asked me about those unfinished Gladiator Beasts, that's one of them." Dexter answered. "I don't even know it's effects."
"I've never heard of that monster." Yusei said firmly.
"No doubt, Dragonva is a very special card, one an anonymous fried gave to me." Rovan explained. "Unfortunately I cannot attack with him this turn, but that is the least of your worries."
"What!" Yusei asked.
"During my end phase, Dragonva inflicts you with 200 points of damage for every Gladiator Beast card removed from the game."
"What!" Yusei demanded.
Leo then began doing the math with his fingers. "That's 800 life points."
(YLP: 1000)
"It's my turn." Yusei said, drawing. "I summon Sonic Chick in defense mode." (LV 1 300/300). Yusei had summoned his pink bird monster out.
"I end at that." Yusei said.
"Fine." Rovan smirked drawing. "It should be noted, that my Dragonva inflicts you with 300 points of damage every time he destroys a monster in battle."
"Then you won't be winning this turn." Yusei explained.
"What?" Rovan demanded.
"Sonic chick can't be destroyed by a monster with more than 1900 attack points." Yusei stated.
"Very well then, but before I end my turn I play the Spell Card Sound Proof." Rovan roared.
"What?" Yusei asked shocked.
"What's that do?" Kari asked.
"Until the end of Rovan next turn, no one can special summon a Synchro monster." Tanner explained.
"And most of Yusei's best monsters are Synchro monsters." Leo shouted, after getting the same explanation from Tai.
"A true duelist can adapt to situations like this." Tai explained.
"And I end my turn." Rovan smirked. The cannons on Dragonva's back lit up and slammed Yusei once more.
(YLP 200)
"Yusei's going to have to pull off a serious miracle to defeat Rovan." The MC shouted.
"Can't argue with that." Tai grumbled.
"It's my turn." Yusei said, desperately.
"Make you're move misfit, so that I may crush you." Rovan ordered.
"Since you asked." Yusei said with a smirk. "I remove my Lucky warrior to special summon Gambler Knight in defense mode." (LV 5 1900/1900) As Yusei took out his monster from his graveyard, a new one took to the field. It was essentially a more adult Lucky Warrior. It wore armor with all the playing card suits on it and a knight helmet. In one hand was a sword made from playing cards and the other was a roulette wheel like shield.
"Now I activate his special ability, since I used Lucky Warrior's effect this duel, I draw one card for the number rolled, and since it was three I draw 3 cards from my deck." Yusei explained, he then got a grin on his face, revealing a card he had gotten from the booster packs. "I play my Advance Synchronization Spell card."
"Advance what?" Rovan asked.
"This turn only, I can summon a Synchro monster from my extra deck." Yusei explained.
"No you can't Sound Proof lasts until my next turn." Rovan shouted enraged.
"Correction, I can't Special summon a Synchro monster." Yusei corrected, "Advance Synchronization lets me summon any Synchro monster from my deck, but it's treated as a normal summon and I have to tribute the correct number of monsters."
"What!" Rovan paled.
"Plot twist." Travis joked.
"Now I tribute my Sonic Chick and Gambler knight to rev up my Lightning Warrior in defense mode. (LV 7 2400/1700). In place of the two monsters was a humanoid figure with a massive mane of yellow hair. He was clad in silver armor with a blue gem on the front. His face was covered with a white mask and around his neck and waist were red scarves.
"Wait, defense mode?" Rovan asked.
"To go with my Zero Gravity Trap card. Yusei explained, Tai smirked.
"What?" Leo asked.
"I traded Yusei that card for a Flute of summoning Dragons last night since I had an extra." Tai explained.
Dragonva took a knee while Lightning Warrior stood up.
"Next I equip my Lightning Warrior to Synchro Saber granting my monster 500 attack points and it deals piercing damage to all none Synchro monsters." Yusei explained. Lightning Warrior was now in possession of a large sword with a jet turbine on the side. It's blade was the same shade of green as the Synchro summon rings. ( LW 2400-2900)
"What?" Rovan freaked.
"Lightning crash." Yusei ordered. Lightning covered the monster and it destroyed the newest Gladiator Beast.
(RLP: 0)
The air was still around Rovan, he finally collapsed to his knees and his eyes widened. "I lost." He gasped.
Yusei appeared in front of Rovan with an extended hand.
"That was a great duel." Yusei said smiling.
Rovan's expression turned to anger and swatted the Satellite's hand away.
"I need no pity from a Synchro user." Rovan shouted. The Gladiator got up and left. As he exited the arena, he was shocked to see Officer Jacobs nearby.
"You lost." He growled. "The order isn't happy."
"I acted well." Rovan said with a Brooklyn accent.
"True, that performance did throw me off." Jacobs admitted.
Meanwhile up in Goodwin's box, Lazar was having a massive panic attack.
"The Order has sent an agent into the fortune cup, we're all doomed." Lazar shouted franticly.
"Calm down Lazar." Goodwin demanded.
"Calm down?" Lazar asked, "That Dragonva monster is proof they have connection's everywhere."
"True, but so do we." Goodwin reminded.
"He won that?" Sora asked shocked.
"That's our boy Yusei." Tanner chuckled.
"You rock Fudo." Tai said giving his friend a high five.
"Thanks." Yusei said. He then noticed something reflective behind Tai. It looked liked someone's glasses were reflecting off and the person disappeared.
"Who was that?" Yusei thought.
