"What the hell is wrong with you?" Brice looked over at Virgil who had his head slumped over. "Where is that Slifer shit that pulled a lucky move against me?" He looked away from Virgil and then awkwardly stated, "I guess I will really have to do this myself."
Was that? Virgil surprised by Brice's last statement, "Thank you."
"Just play," Brice spat out.
"Okay, this card isn't really going to help me, and it will probably benefit Professor Overton as well, but I'll play Card of Sanctity, now we all draw until we are holding 6 cards in our hand!" Virgil drew two cards as Professor Overton and Brice both drew six. "Next I'll summon my Defender, The Magical Knight(1600/2000) in defense mode!" Virgil's purple knight appeared on the field crouched behind his shield. "Now I'll set 3 cards and end my turn," Virgil's cards appeared on the field behind his magician. I hope that helps Brice out. Virgil thought as he looked over at Brice who drew a card from his deck.
"The Rookie actually made a good move for once," Brice stated as he looked at his hand. "Now its time for me to take over and win me this Duel, I'll play De-Fusion," Brice placed the card in his Duel Disk as one of his father's Cyber Twin Dragon began to glow. "This Spell allows me to break apart a fusion monster on the field and return its original form back to the field, so I'll be taking back my Cyber Twin Dragon," as Brice stated this the Cyber Twin Dragon split back into its two forms on Brice's side of the field.
"And just what you plan to do with that son? There is nothing you can do to those dragons that can help you," Professor Overton stated.
"That's where you are wrong," Brice slid another card into his Duel Disk, "I'll play Magical Stone Excavation, by discarding two cards from my hand," he slid two cards from his hand into his graveyard as another card popped out, "I can add one Spell from my graveyard to my hand, and the card I choose is Limiter Removal!"
Professor Overton watched in horror as Brice's two Cyber Dragon's glowed as their respective attack points became 4200 each, "I will admit I wasn't expecting that."
"Cyber Dragons take out his Cyber Barrier Dragon and Cyber Twin Dragon!" Brice yelled as his monster let out a huge blast that ripped through both monster destroying them instantly and reducing his Life Points to 2600. A smile crept up on Brice's face, as his father side of the field was clear.
"I don't know why you are smiling, did you forget about the side effect of your Limiter Removal, both your dragons will be destroyed," Professor Overton folded his arms as he looked at both monster who began to pulse and break apart.
"That is true, but who said anything about my two Cyber Dragons staying on the field?" Brice grabbed a card from his hand, "Now I'll sacrifice my one of my Cyber Dragons to summon Machine King(2200/2000) in attack mode!" Brice watched as one of his dragons exploded, it was replaced with a red machine that look eerily similar to Optimus Prime. "And my last two cards hidden," Brice stated as he ended his turn, he watched as he remaining Cyber Dragon exploded into a million pixels due to Limiter Removal.
"Alright we're back in this," Virgil stated surprised at Brice's comeback move.
"Yeah, all thanks to me," Brice stated as he watched his father draw a card from his deck.
"You two were not the only one who benefited from Card of Sanctity," he looked at the card he drew, "And I'll show you two now!" He slid a card into his Duel Disk, "Premature Burial will let me get back my Cyber Dragon(2100/1600) at the cost of 800 Life Points."(Overton: 1800)
"This can't be good," Virgil commented as Professor Overton's Cyber Dragon let out a mighty roar.
"Next I'll summon another Proto-Cyber Dragon(1100/800) to the field!" A smaller version of Cyber Dragon appeared on the field next to its completed version. "Now I'll play the Spell Card known as Power Bond!" Professor Overton stated as he turned the card around to show Virgil and Brice.
"Power Bond?" Virgil asked.
"Damn it Rookie," Brice stated looking at him, "That card allows him to fusion summon a machine type monster from my deck and double that monsters attack points!"
"That's right, so now to show you Cyber Dragon's ultimate form!" Professor Overton stated as he turned over Cyber Dragon card in his hand, "I'll fuse three Cyber Dragons to create!" As all three Cyber Dragon's began to swirl around in a circle, when the light finally died down their in front of Virgil and Brice stood a three headed Cyber Dragon. "Say hello to Cyber End Dragon(4000/2800)!"
"What the-" Paul was speechless, "I had heard that Professor Overton was ranked number one in America but I never expected him to Duel this good!"
"And why not? He is a teacher here after all," Arnia stated. She looked over at Kirk, "Still think he can win?"
"Yeah," Kirk stated softly under his breath.
"How are we going to beat that?" Virgil asked as he watched Cyber End Dragon's attack increase to 8000.
"And just to let you know Mr. Thompson, my monster has a piercing effect meaning you cant hid behind defense mode," Professor Overton looked at Virgil, "Now Cyber End Dragon end it!" Professor Overton's monster let out a huge blast of energy from each of its mouth as it connected into one huge ball of energy.
Damn if it can do piercing damage then I can't use my Magical Hats! This is it Virgil… Virgil closed his eyes ready to take the hit when.
"I'll play my hidden card!" Brice stated as the card revealed itself, "Negate Attack!"
Virgil opened his eyes as a swirling vortex appeared in front of him absorbing the attack, once he realized he was not out of the Duel he turned to Brice and looked at him surprised.
"Consider it payback," Brice stated calmly, "But more importantly that means this Duel is over."
"And how do you figure?" Professor Overton asked his son.
"Well once the negative effect of your Power Bond kicks in at the end of your turn you'll take 4000 points of damage ending this Duel," Brice stated.
Professor Overton shook his head, "Like I didn't plan for that son, your ignorance is intolerable," he took a card from his hand and played it on the field. "Now I'll play Double Summon, which allows me to an extra normal summon this turn, and I'll summon my Cyber Kirin(300/800) in attack mode," a small mechanical dog appeared on the field. "By sacrificing this monster I can reduce any damage I take this turn to zero," Professor Overton's newly summoned monster disappeared in a flash of light as he ended his turn.
"Damn," Virgil stated as he drew a card from his deck. I shouldn't have expected him to do anything else, I mean he is a teacher at this school, as it stands right now my Magical Hats Trap Card is useless, how the heck are we suppose to beat such a strong monster. "I'll set one card face down, and end my turn."
Brice drew a card from his deck. Damn it, there is no way I can win now. I've seen this move countless times in my father's duels and he has never lost once he's gotten his Cyber End Dragon on the field. He looked over at Virgil who was trembling a little. And he is useless, lucky I have a card that can help me. "I'll summon my last Cyber Dragon seeing as you have a monster on the field and I don't!" Brice stated as his Cyber Dragon(2100/1600) appeared on the field in attack mode.
"Giving up I see," Professor Overton stated as he drew a card from his deck giving him two. "Well like I said when this started this Duel, its time for you to go home where you can no longer embarrass me. Cyber End Dragon, end this!" Professor Overton yelled as his monster let out another blast aimed at Brice's Cyber Dragon.
"Not this turn!" Brice stated as his face down card revealed itself, "Cybernetic Hidden Technology! Now by sacrificing my Cyber Dragon I can destroy your Cyber End Dragon!" Brice yelled as his Cyber Dragon exploded letting out a huge cloud of smoke that covered the whole field.
"Did it work?" Virgil asked as the smoke started to clear, when the smoke finally settled in front of Brice and Virgil in horror was three Cyber Dragons.
"In case you two are confused I used my De-Fusion Spell Card to split my Cyber End Dragon back into its separate forms, saving them from your Cybernetic Hidden Technology Trap," Professor Overton then looked at Brice's now empty field. "Now since it is still my battle phase, I'll have my Cyber Dragon wipe out the last of your Life Points!"
"Not if I can help it!" Virgil stated as he revealed his hidden card, "Draining Shield will negate your attack and increase Brice's Life Points by 2100!"
"What?" Brice yelled as a huge shield appeared in front of Cyber Dragon's attack absorbing it and increasing his Life Points to 3050.
"Once again, Virgil saves Brice's butt," Paul stated.
"Yes, but with only two hidden cards on the field, unless they have a nasty effect he can't save him from two more attacks," Arnia stated.
"You're right, but if Professor Overton has taught us anything he'll let his ego get in the way," Kirk stated.
On cue Professor Overton turned to Virgil, "You really need to stay out of this."
"Why?" Virgil stated a small smirk on his face, "I'm actually holding my own in a Duel with a seasoned player."
"Is that what you think?" Brice stated, "The only reason you're still in this is because of me."
Virgil thought about this for a minute, "Well yeah, I mean we are suppose to be a team."
"Like I said stay out of my way," Brice turned back and looked at his father.
"For someone with a bare field you should be a little grateful that I did that for you!" Virgil raised his voice, he depressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I'll play Scapegoat, and I'll lend my little sheep here to Brice!" Virgil stated as four different color sheep appeared on Brice's side of the field.
"Cyber Dragons attack his Scapegoats!" Professor Overton barked as his two remaining dragons released a blast that ripped through two of the goats. "Now I'll end with these two cards hidden."
Virgil drew a card from his deck giving him three, "Now to go on the offensive," he placed a monster down on his Duel Disk, "I'll sacrifice my Defender the Magical Warrior to summon my Chaos Command Magician(2400/1900) in attack mode!" Virgil's signature monster appeared on the field and spun its staff around. "It looks like he's rearing to go. So I'll have him take out one of your Cyber Dragons!" Virgil's monster ran towards Professor Overton's monster, and jumped into the air, it let out a huge magical blast.
"I reveal my hidden card, Aqua Chorus!" The Trap Card revealed itself on Professor Overton's side of the field, "This will increase my all of Cyber Dragon's attack and defense by 500 because they all share the same name."(3xCyber Dragon 2600/2100)
"Crap!" Virgil stated as he watched as his Chaos Command Magician's attack reflected back at the monster destroying it and reducing his Life Points to 3000.
"Amateur moves won't allow you to get past my Cyber Dragons," Professor Overton stated as he folded his arms.
"I'll set a hidden card," Virgil stated as a third card appeared on the field next to his other two.
Brice drew a card from his deck, "Virgil, I told you to stay out of my way, now I don't care if you can't save yourself if the time comes, because I'm going to win this Duel on my own, so don't do anything else to make this harder for me."
"Man, I wish you didn't talk Kirk out of Dueling with me," Virgil placed his hand on his forehead, "We would have won by now."
That really got under Brice's skin, "I'll have you know that if you two were up here you would have lost 4 moves ago! I'm the only reason you're still in this! I'll summon my Cannon Soldier(1400/1300) in defense mode!" A purple machine with cannons on its shoulders appeared on the field. "Now for each monster I tribute I can inflict 500 points of damage, and since I got two!" Brice looked as his two goats turned into balls of light and was absorbed by Cannon Soldier, it let out two huge blast aimed at Professor Overton who shielded himself as the attack hit him.(Overton: 2800)
"What?" Brice stated surprised, "You're Life Points should have dropped…unless…"
"I played a Trap Card right before you're attack connected with me, it's called Rainbow Life," Professor Overton stated as he held up the card in his hand, "It reverses any damage I take and instead changes it to Life Point gain, so thank you son for the extra Life Points."
"Damn," Brice said taking a card from his hand and playing it in his Duel Disk, "One hidden card, and I'm done."
"That's right you are!" Professor Overton stated as he drew a card from his deck.
The field looked like this, Virgil had no monsters on the field and three hidden cards, one of which was Magical Hats, while Brice had his Cannon Soldier in defense mode and one hidden card on the field and his Cybernetic Hidden Technology Trap Card still activated. Professor Overton had three Cyber Dragon's on the field and no hidden cards, all players had one card in their hands.
"Wow luck of the draw," Professor Overton played the card he just drew. "Another Polymerization!" He exclaimed as his three dragons began to glow they formed into one Cyber End Dragon(4000/2800).
"Damn!" Virgil exclaimed staring up at the huge three-headed dragon.
"Cyber End Dragon, wipe out Brice's Cannon Soldier!" Professor Overton exclaimed.
Brice braced himself as a huge blast hit his monster destroying it the impact from the blast sent Brice flying through the air, he landed hard on his back as his Life Points dropped to 350, "Damn, I thought I had him."
"You thought wrong!" Professor Overton exclaimed as his dragon let out a roar, "And Mr. Thompson, don't think I've forgotten about you, I just wanted my son to be humbled by my skills."
Virgil paid no attention to Professor Overton's statement all he could do was stare at his Cyber End Dragon, although it was not as strong as it was a few turns ago when he had first summoned it still was powerful and baring down on him and Brice.
"Virgil, no one is unbeatable, don't forget that."
The memory of Virgil's conversation with Professor Ragan replayed in his head, Virgil took a deep breath and drew a card from his deck.
Kirk eyes perked as he sworn he had seen a small shockwave appear under Virgil as he drew a card, "Did you guys see that?"
"What?" Paul asked, "You're friend about to lose?"
"No…it…" Kirk stopped himself as he looked at Virgil who for the first time looked like a Duelist and not a scared kid. What am I thinking there is no way…unless…
Virgil looked at the card shocked. What the…of all the cards. He looked at Brice who looked back at him confused as the look Virgil was giving him. "I'll play my hidden card, Graverobber! Now I can take a Spell Card from your graveyard!" Virgil stated as he turned to Brice, "But the card I'm taking is in his graveyard."
"What?" Brice stated surprised, as Virgil walked up to him as Brice's Duel Disk spat out all the Spell Cards in his graveyard, Virgil took a card from the graveyard and handed him back his cards, he walked back to his side of the field.
"What are you up to?" Professor Overton asked.
"Even I don't really know," Virgil took a card from his hand, "Now I'll play my Monster Reborn, so say hello to Cyber Dragon!" Virgil stated as Brice's Cyber Dragon reappeared on Virgil's side of the field.
"Once again, where are you going with this?" Professor Overton stated getting irritated with Virgil's lack of explanation.
"I'll play the card I got from Brice," Virgil stated as he placed the card in his Duel Disk, "Limiter Removal!" Virgil watched as his Cyber Dragon's attack increased to 4200, he winced as a red light surrounded him and reduced his Life Points to 1000. "Of course because of Graverobber I lose 2000 Life Points when I played Limiter Removal, but I think it's now strong enough to take out your Cyber End Dragon."
Professor Overton, took a step back. "No…"
"Yes," Virgil stated pointed at Professor Overton's Cyber End Dragon, "Now my Cyber Dragon, take out his Cyber End Dragon!" Virgil's monster obeyed firing off a blast that ripped through Professor Overton's monster with ease.(Overton: 2600) "I'll end my turn." Cyber Dragon exploded into a million pieces due to the side effect of Limiter Removal.
"My turn," Brice stated drawing a card from his deck, he winced when he saw what it was. "I'll summon Machine King Prototype(1600/1500) in attack mode!" A smaller version of Machine King appeared on the field, "Now attack my father directly!" Machine King Prototype leveled its arm out and shot off its fist that hit Professor Overton in the chest and made him double over.(Overton: 1200)
"You two will pay for that," Professor Overton gasped as he slowly straighten himself up.
"I can't believe it," Paul stated looking on, "They might actually pull this off, damn I guess you were right Kirk."
Kirk just smiled, "I told you I trust him."
Professor Overton slowly drew a card from his deck, he carefully eyed it before playing it, "Yes! Now see what my Spell Card Re-Fusion can do!"
"Crap!" Brice stated as the card appeared on the field.
"After paying 800 Life Points I can bring back a fusion monster in my graveyard, and I choose my Cyber End Dragon(4000/2800)!" Professor Overton let out a laugh as his Life Points dropped to 400 and his ace card returned to the field.
"Guess I spoke to soon," Paul stated as he watched the monster rear back its head.
"It's not over till the last card is played," Kirk stated.
"This may be the last card," Arnia stated.
"Now to finally end your evolvement in this Duel, Cyber End Dragon, take out Mr. Thompson!" Professor Overton yelled as his monster reared its head back.
Brice just looked at Virgil as the blast washed over him, a loud scream could be heard as the arena shook from the blast and smoked surrounded the field.
"And that is that," Professor Overton stated as the smoke cleared and Virgil was standing their barely moving, his Life Points dropped to zero.
"N…not…before…I…use…my…hidden…card," Virgil struggled to get the words out as his face down card flew up. "The Transmigration Prophecy will allow me to select cards in a graveyard and shuffle them back into a deck," Virgil finally regained his composure, Virgil looked at Brice who stood there dumbfounded.
Brice looked down at his graveyard as two cards popped out, he quickly reshuffled the cards into his deck and placed it back in his Duel Disk.
"Now, it's up to you," Virgil stated as he walked off stage, "Don't go losing, cause Kirk wouldn't."
"Rookie, I won't lose, and Kirk couldn't hang with my father!" Brice stated adding that in for good measure.
"Damn," Paul stated as he watched Virgil walk back to the underpass, "He was so close."
"Yeah, now it comes down to Brice," Arnia stated, "He doesn't stand a chance."
"Damn, well he better win, I don't want my best friend stuck in Slifer Red for his whole stay at Duel Academy," Kirk stated. Though I have a feeling, he picked the right cards for him. Virgil man you're improving every time you duel.
"Well father, it all comes down to this," Brice stated putting his hand on the top card of his deck.
"Son you can't win, you had a slim chance when this match was handicapped but now," he closed his eyes and adjusted his glasses on his face, "You don't stand a chance!"
"Damn it father!" Brice yelled surprising him, "You never trust me to do anything!"
"You can't…the fact that you needed that first year as a partner to survive this long is a joke, and you know it!" Professor Overton spat.
A small tear started to flow down Brice's face, "Damn it, nothing I ever do is good enough for you!"
Virgil at this time was standing up along the wall of the arena gasping for air as he continued to watch the events unfold. Maybe…I…got through to him….
"Well, now when I beat you I will finally show you what I am made of!" Brice stated.
"IF you manage to beat me here, I won't acknowledge a thing," Professor Overton crossed his arms, "Not that you will of course."
"I'll show you!" Brice stated as he drew a card from his deck, that he quickly glanced at it before playing it. "Card of Sanctity will both allow us to draw till we are holding 6 cards!" Brice quickly drew six cards as Professor Overton followed suit.
"You better have the finishing move this turn, because I do," Professor Overton stated.
"Don't worry I do, and I have Rookie to thank for two of the cards," Brice took a card from his hand, "I'll play my Cyber Dragon(2100/1600)!" As Brice's signature monster appeared on the field, Professor Overton let out a laugh.
"Let me guess you're going to use Limiter Removal again, you 200 Life Points short," Professor Overton stated.
"Who said I was going to attack with my Cyber Dragon," Brice took a card from his hand, "I'll play my Polymerization to fuse my Cyber Dragon on the field, with my Beastking of the Swamps(1000/1100) in my hand as a substitute for a second Cyber Dragon to bring out Cyber Twin Dragon(2800/2100) in attack mode!"
Professor Overton took a step back as Brice's signature fusion appeared on the field, "Don't tell me…"
"The first card Virgil put back in my deck was a Cyber Dragon and the second," he turned around Limiter Removal.
"No I can't lose!" Professor Overton stated as he watch his sons Cyber Twin Dragon glow and double its attack power to 5600.
"Now my Cyber Twin Dragon, wipe out his Cyber End Dragon and the rest of his Life Points!" Brice yelled as his monster let out a twin blast that completely destroyed Cyber End Dragon and shot Professor Overton across the arena as his Life Points dropped to zero.
The crowd erupted in cheer at the amazing end to the Duel they had just witness.
"And that is it folks!" Professor Ragan stated walking to the middle of the arena, "Due to Professor Overton's loss to Brice, both Virgil and Brice's rank will increase at the academy."
Virgil let out a sigh as he slowly made his way back on the arena, when he got to the center he saw Brice standing over his father who was staring into the air in disbelief.
"I told you father, I would beat you, now who's the embarrassment?" Brice turned and walked away from his father, when he noticed Virgil he simple stated, "What? You want a lollipop for bailing me out a few times?"
"Actually I thought maybe now we can be friends?" Virgil stated holding out a hand.
Brice continued to walk away from Virgil, "Don't take this the wrong way, but I can't associate with a loser like you."
Virgil just stood there dumbfounded as Kirk came running up on the field as everyone else was piling out. "Damn man you put on a Duel clinic out there!"
"I guess…though I did lose…" Virgil stated looking down at the ground.
"Lose? You're team won," Kirk stated, "Umm your not friends with Brice now are you?"
"Actually he hates me more now," Virgil stated with a chuckle, he then let out a sigh, "Man that Duel took a lot out of me, I've never felt so tired after a Duel."
It was to be expected, if I think you did what I think you did… Kirk thought as he looked at his friend, "Well too bad, Paul and Arnia are waiting for us outside to grab something to eat."
Virgil eyes opened up, "You think I want to take a nap? I'm there!"
Authors Note: Well there you have it as promise the end to the Brice and Virgil vs Professor Overton Duel. I had decided to let Brice end the Duel and allow Virgil to lose. I know he's lost more Duel's than won but he is new to the game so I figured it would be a will before he got good. And just in case anyone was wondering OC's are coming, when I originally planned out this fic some 3 years ago I had these 9 chapters already planned out. Since returning to Yu-Gi-Oh! and looking over what I had already written, the first chapter I decided to use what I had already plan out. So not to give anything away but next week look forward to the appearance of at least two OC's that were submitted. So any questions or comments or errors I made please feel free to let me know.
