Sorry for the lateness, I've been planning out for a while now. Cheers to all!
Chapter 9: Terror of the Undead World
By morning, a truck was mobilizing on the routes of the academy. Under the thick covers of the truck were a small army of about twelve. The army of men was wearing a greenish uniform with a green beret and wore black glasses. They wore a tidy uniform which were green and had a magenta cape attached to their back; the truck accelerated to the route to Ra dorm.
As they arrived, they marched into the building (hike, hike, hike, hike). The army climbed the stairs and they pass through a room which door was opened slightly. The tenant of the room was Tyrule.
"C'mon guys, what's all the thundering this early?" Tyrule yawned with a sleepy face. His hands were rubbing his eyes, "Hey guys…GUYS?" he repeated as there were no replies and then saw an army as he adjusted his sights. Then Tyrule gasped to his horror, "T-This… The Disciplinary Action Squad! Oh no, they only shows up when a student is in grave trouble, and they're heading for Ki!" He gasped.
Ki was in his room, snoring silently as he just crash into his dream world a short while ago. Then at a sudden, he was rudely awakened as there was loud banging on the door.
"OPEN UP! OPEN THIS DOOR UP NOW OR WE'LL BUST IT OPEN!" Ordered the voice strictly as the speaker continues to bangs the door.
Ki was extremely annoyed for the moment and he sat up, stretched and rubbed his eyes with his left palm while the other reaches for his glasses on the bedside table. He puts it on and feebly spat, "Name and rank soldier!"
At once, the voice replied, "The Disciplinary Action Squad soldier!"
By the moment Ki heard it, he was no longer tired nor yawning. He became widely awake and had a feeling of burning charcoal thrust into his stomach. He got to his feet, shoved his glasses on and answered the door.
As he did, three broad chest men with black glasses were standing still outside. They were larger than Ki and almost larger than him. Ki had to be careful, if he made a wrong move, he would get knocked out by an uppercut.
"You must be 'He'!" one of them asked, assuring.
Ki froze rooted and glare at the person. A short silence later, Ki replied, "Nope" with all fears forgotten. His seriousness became increasingly relief as they mentioned another person's name which is 'He'.
"DON'T LIE, HE!" he snarled. They are not the type to cross.
Another awkward silence later, Ki said, "Are you going to the wrong room, big guy? Only Ki resides in this dorm!" He was rather annoyed.
"We were informed by Prof. Crowler that a person called 'He' is residing in the Ra dorm, room 125!" said another soldier patient and politely.
"Hey, hallo! The tenant in Ra 125 is Ki-me! Not He…" for a moment he realized one thing, "Prof. Crowler said that?" then there was a pause, "What did 'He' do to get himself busted?" The squad exchanged weird looks for a moment and one of them informed Ki that it was about a trespassing student. Then at once, Ki confessed, "Oh, that person was not He, it's me… Oops!"
Ki was no longer afraid but instead, annoyed. Ki was rather stupid to confess his crime in front of the entire squad. Ki had his deck and duel disk along with him and essentially put on his uniform. Ki was brought on the truck and was carried into the academy along with the squad. His mind was occupied with, "well, at least I don't have to walk to the academy!"
Silent Magician, Ki's newly joined or rather a companion spirit was glaring at his care freeness.
Ki was brought into a room with big LCD TV screens in every corner of the room. Then, a face appeared in each screens. Ki recognize the balding man in the screen as the chancellor of the school, Sheppard.
"Suspended!" said Ki as the woman with a green beret spat at him.
"That's right! One of the genitor patrolling the island reported that he found you exiting the dorm during dawn!" she said strictly. Then s quote occupied Ki's mind, "You miss Line and Vaan!" She continued, "So you must be punished to set an example to the school!" Again, Ki had another quote in mind, "Punishments are nothing to me!"
Crowler, the 'ugly git' professor had joined in, "But what kind of punishments are we talking about? Ah yes, what about something sporting, He? A duel!" Ki had no comments. "Win the duel and you're clean, lose and you're expelled; ow wait, if you lose, you must also submit your deck!" He added purposely.
Ki had a silent gasp in his tune. He then smirks and surprisingly, he accepted. "I'll take you on anytime, 'ugly git'!" he sneered. Crowler gasped as he heard himself being called an ugly git. "You deserved only to be called by that for calling my name wrongly!" he insulted. His words were like arrows and it thrust Crowler's heart. He grunted and arranged himself for the detention duel.
"Yes, we've also sent a letter to the landlord who you're living…" Sheppard's words were cut.
"What?" Ki became panic at a sudden. "NO! DON'T DO IT!" He barked.
Crowler seem to see Ki's weakness, taking this to his advantage, he began, "Oh, I'm afraid we've just did!" This was the first time he had seen Ki this afraid. Ki was never afraid of his detention and anyone's scary side but when Sheppard talked about the 'landlord', Ki panic.
"DAMN IT! DO YOU ALL KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"
"Done what? Kiiiii" said a familiar relaxed feminine voice and to Ki's horror, Katie. As the voice echoed in his ears, he stood rooted still, both hands on side and straight. A freezing blizzard runs down on his back. He fought hard not to twitch nor make a move.
"Ka-Ka-Ka-Ka…" it appears that his tongue was frozen solid as well. "When did she get in?" he wondered.
"I've received the letter a while ago and when I heard that you're in se~rious trouble, I rushed over. Do you know how worried I am?" she said in a caring and calm tune. Ki had lost for words or rather too afraid to speak (his eyes couldn't stop rolling and twitching). Crowler and Sheppard wondered why Ki would be afraid of such gentle, soft and nice person and how did she get onto the island… they were about to find out. "You better had a good answer for my questions, Ki~" she continued but this time, the atmosphere was scarier and denser than before. Then, a strong foggy purplish aura occupied the entire room. The aura was devilish, evil and strong with desire to kill! A fiend appeared above Katie and Ki's hair froze, his hearts was beating fast and he was pale white.
Worst than that, the authorities too were no exception. Their eyes were twitching and they understand why Ki is afraid of the 'landlord'.
"I shouldn't send that letter!"
"I guess I could understand why Ki's afraid of her."
"I can't even tolerate this scariness!"
Soon after, Ki returned to his dorm. He doesn't feel like going for any classes today; but first, he had to escape from Katie's nose or else he would die horribly. Ki had been living with Katie for about ten years already but yet, he had marked her as his most terrifying and scariest person although she is gentle sometimes. Katie was staying behind with the authorities for the time being but, as Ki returned to his dorm; Tyrule was there and so were Liner, Vaan and Lapis. They were all worried about how Ki would be expelled but Ki however doesn't show a sign of worry as he kept assuring them. It was tense for Ki to calm them down, until-
"You must be Ki, the one who defeated Liner and Lapis." said a cold voice which Ki had never recognized before. Ki turned around to find a magenta haired obelisk senior. The obelisk uniform he wore was like the male version of Lapis uniform and judging by that, Ki could tell that he is an elite duelist. Ki, pretending stupid, threw "yes" care freely.
"Yeah he did Luke; he's a 'fan' of mine now!" Liner said. Fan…
"I see, again with your fanatic admirations eh?" Fanatic… Ki seemed to get rather confused of the 'fan' and 'friend' stuff. He got even more confused with fans, fan club, fancy, fantastic and so on.
"Ki," the obelisk senior called, "I am Lucas Positions, the eldest among the Positions. I would like to go on a duel with you if you don't mind."
"…" Ki can feel his determinations. Without any second thoughts, he replied, "Bring em on!"
The two went to the Lighthouse by the port several miles away from the Slifer Red Dorm, where they will resolve their duel. Ki and Lucas put on their duel disk and announced, "DUEL!"
Both players had a total of 4000 Life Points.
"You go first," Lucas generously offered.
"Hey, thanks." Ki drew his card. "I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600+300/1000) in attack mode!" A red armoured warrior appeared to the field, readying his blue bladed sword and shield along with a magical aura enveloping him, granting him strength. "Turn end!"
"That's all? Well fine with me because I'll show you the Realm of Undead!" said Lucas coldly. He draws his next card, "I activate the continuous spell known as Call of Mummy! This card effect allows me to special summon a zombie type monster from my hands while there are no monsters on my side of the field!"
"Darn, I've forgot that zombie types are mostly based on special summoning…" Ki cursed under his breath.
"So," Lucas continued as he picks a card in his hand, "I special summon Paladin of the Cursed Dragon (1900/1200)." A white undead dragon with several wounds and broken body came to the field. There seemed to be a white armour warrior riding on top of it, with a rapier in it's hands. Lucas continued, "Next, I release it to summon Red Eyes Zombie Dragon (2400/2000)." A black dragon similar to Liner's zombie dragon came to the field, but something is not right; the dragon's wings were severely damaged, its body were misshaped and bluish flames rages out of it's wounded, misshaped body.
"No way, a level 7 monster with one tribute at the first turn," gasped Liner, "I haven't seen that card in Luke's deck before!"
"Red Eyes Zombie Dragon…" said Ki, "could be tribute summoned by tributing 1 Zombie-Type monster. When this card destroys a Zombie-Type monster by battle and sends it to the graveyard, the destroyed monster can be Special Summoned onto your field…" for a moment, Ki was feeling uncomfortable, but a second later, he was smiling, "Interesting… this could be my No.1 best duel."
"Really?" Lucas said, impressed, "Let's see how you can handle the next, Field Spell activate-Zombie World!" Ki's smile was more confident. As the field spell is in play, the surroundings became very spooky; the rocky ground is covered with bones, skeletons and dead bodies. Spirits were roaming about. Trees were old, twisted and alive with faces. The waters became blood red. Then, to Liner's horror, Ki's magical warrior became an undead as his skin colour became pale white like a ghost.
"Great… first the landlord and now the field…" Kisneered in his mind, "Well… Kate's scarier than this, to be exact."
"Scared, Ki? Let's see how you get scared when my Zombie Dragon attacks with Inferno Nightmare Flames!" The undead black dragon fires a blue flame breath at the magical warrior, burning him and fell to his knees. The remaining of the flames goes directly to Ki. He lost 500 Life Points for the damage. "Now for Red Eyes Zombie Dragon's effect activate!" The fallen warrior stood up unstably and advanced to Lucas' field.
"What, but… wasn't Red Eyes… Red Eyes Zombie Dragon's effect affects zombie type?" Liner asked confused.
"No Liner," Tyrule explained to solve Liner's confusion, "You see that field spell?" he nodded to the field spell card on Lucas' field, "When that card is in play, all monsters on the field and in any graveyard become Zombie-Type monsters. Furthermore, Ki will be in a tight corner since he uses a spellcaster deck."
"Why's that Ty?" Liner asked.
"Other than Zombie-Type monsters, neither players can tribute summon any monsters." Tyrule concludes his explanations.
"No way! How did Luke get such strong deck?" Liner gasped. They watches the undead Breaker attacks Ki Life Points which sharply reduced to 1900. "Now his Life Points were twice lower than before!"
"I set a face down and call it your turn now." Lucas ends his turn as he cross his empty hands.
"No sweat, this is getting interesting!" He raised his duel disk and reached for his next card, "DRAW!" he pulls. He reveals his card, "Perfect!" Then he checks the cards in his hands. "Absolute perfect!" He is much confident than ever, "Now I summon, Time Wizard (500/400)!" A clock looking machine magician had appeared to the field. It was yellow, which resembles a clock and had on a blue cape. It was holding a wand in it's hand. Due to the field spell effect, the shiny yellow surface became rusty and old.
"Time Wizard? What's Ki gonna do with such a weak monster?" Liner asked, staring at the clock like wizard.
"Hey, don't you even know?" Tyrule turned and threw Liner a weird look.
"What's the problem for not knowing a weak monster like that?" replied Liner, not getting the fact why Tyrule asked so.
Tyrule grunted, feeling stupid. He explained, "Time Wizard's effect is… well see that wand of his?" he asked. Liner peered to the wand the clock wizard was holding. "See that?" Tyrule continued, "There are 2 'dangs' (something Tyrule read in Chinese) and 4 'skulls. Here's the effect, if the needle is pointing at 'dang' (he's full of it), every monster on Lucas' side of the field will be destroyed, but… if they hit any of the skulls, the effects will be opposite and Ki will have to pay the price."
"Yup, like it or not, I'll bet on to this 25% chance of turnover, cause nothing gains if ya never try!" blurted Ki confidently. "Let's get things started, well Time Wizard, spin the clock!" As Ki told it to, the needle on the wand was spinning in clockwise. Everyone was looking at the spinning needle. Then it was slowing and slower and finally, it stoped.
"DANG!" Tyrule blurted out of a sudden as the needle stopped. It's true; the needle stopped precisely on it and with this Lucas was getting very much interested. The wizard raised it's wand and called, "TIME MAGIC!"
Suddenly, maggots were visible as they were crawling on the monsters on Lucas' field. Then almost at once, the undead dragon and Ki's magician on Lucas' field were devoured by the bunch of maggots and at a flash, their flesh were eaten and gone completely. "That was fast," said Ki, "Anyway where was I? Ah, right Time Wizard direct attack!" The wizard made a full charge at Lucas and it knocked him, dealing 500 points of damage. "I'm not done yet!" he said as he picks a card from his hand, "Quick Spell Activation, Magical Dimension!"
"The card back at the entrance duel…" thought Lucas.
"As long as a spellcaster monster is face up on my field, I can sacrifice a monster on my field to special summon a spellcaster from my hands to the field," Ki brings out a card from his hands, "and guess who? A great friend who saved some guy's skin-Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2500)." A dark magenta robed magician with straight dark black hair appeared to the field. He was holding a staff in both hands which seems like a scepter. The same card which Ki uses to win a duel last night.
"GREAT! With this, Ki could win!" Liner said, full of passion.
"Be prepared! Dark Magician of Chaos, direct hit with Scepter Strike!" the magician thrusts his scepter at Lucas, draining his Life Points straight down to 700. "Well, a face down and that's all!"
"…" Lucas drew his card silently. "Now you've crossed the line!" he said in a cold serious tune. Ki could feel an aura emitting from Lucas like Katie, except it was weaker. "By the effect of Call of Zombie, I special summon Plague Spreader Zombie (400/200)" A misshaped looking creature appeared to the field. Ki gasped to his surprise as he sees that monster.
"A Tuner Monster!" he gasped.
"Tuner, whassat?" Liner bewildered. Tyrule too doesn't know what is that; Ki knows.
Lucas continued, "Now I play my face down known as Call of the Haunted, with this card, I special summon a monster in my graveyard and I choose non other than Paladin of the Cursed Dragon (1900/1200)." Lucas is now smiling broadly, which is rarely seen by Liner. "Now, Level 2 Plague Spreader Zombie and Level 4 Paladin of the Cursed Dragon, tuning!"
Then, the Plague Spreader Zombie became two green hoops and it goes towards the paladin. Lucas was saying something weird, "Engulf everything into the field of darkness, open the gates to the World of Zombies, this ends now, Synchro Summon, Revived King Ha Des (2450/0)" A fiendish looking demon appeared through the smokes. Liner and Tyrule was surprised, they had never seen such monster being summoned like that. "Next, I equip my monster with the equip spell known as Megamorph!" As the card attaches to the zombie fiend, it's size is doubled and Ki could see it's attack points doubled to 4900. Ki knew of the results of this duel already. "Now, Revived King Ha Des, destroy my enemies! Revive Wrath!" The fiend fires a jet of blueish flames, like the Red Eyes Zombie Dragon. The flames hit the magician, burning it in an inferno flame. The magician cried a loud as the flames burns him, shattering him. This brings down Ki's Life Points to 0. Ki lost the duel.
"You're not all that strong!" spat Lucas.
"…" Ki had no words for this. Silent Magician watches his defeat as he falls to his knees.
Lucas left them as he returns to the Obelisk dorm.
"Er, where's Lapis?" Tyrule asked, turning around to find her.
"Again, eh…" Liner said stupidly, "Now it techniquely proves that… she's afraid of zombies."
They had forgotten about Ki and left without a word for him. Ki revived and returned to his dorm. As Ki got back to his dorm, Ki collapsed into a sleep after changing. He leaves his Duel Disk on the table and casted off his glasses to his bedside table and straight into a snooze.
Silent Magician reappeared and was interested with the card Ki forgot to remove from his Duel Disk. She curiously pulls it and gasped when she reveals that card-Magical Cylinder. She began thinking of the results if Ki activates the card:
"Now, Revived King Ha Des, destroy my enemies! Revive Wrath!" The fiend fires a jet of blueish flames, like the Red Eyes Zombie Dragon. Then Ki play his face down trap-Magical Cylinder. Which effect deflects the monster's attack and a bolt of green beam shot straight at Lucas, instantly draining his Life Points to 0, leaving him crying in angst.
Silent Magician gasped when she knew that Ki could eventually wins. But for what reason he chose not to win? Is it a coincidence that Ki forgotten about the card or is it that he purposely lose. Whatever the fact is, she remained silent as she is and hopefully, she will find an answer.
End Chapter 9
