Shark Frenzy
"This is what you get for not listening and trying to get revenge Kyle. Now Stardust Dragon, finish this duel with Cosmic Flare!" Garrett shouted.
"AHHHH! (Kyle 0)" Kyle shouted taking the final hit of the match.
"Ahh!" Kyle shouted quickly sitting up in his hospital bed with a cold sweat running down his face. 'What was that. The duel, it must have been a nightmare.' He though. He looked around at his surrounds and saw he was in a bed inside a room of all white. He also noticed that he was hooked up to a strange beeping device directly to his right side. 'So I'm in a hospital.' He thought again.
"Hey dude! Your finally awake." Tyler said walking into the room. "Hey Tyler, what's been going on around here?" Kyle asked. "Not much that we've been a-part of. I saw in the paper what happened between you and Garrett. That was a pretty nasty spill if you ask me." "I'll be fine." Kyle replied. "I think you should just go and kill your grandfather and get your revenge that way. Just leave Garrett out of it next time and maybe he won't trounce you in another duel." Kyle shook his head. "That won't be necessary, Garrett has showed me the error of my ways." "How?" "That duel, it more like a battle between our hearts then a battle between our cards."
There was a few seconds of silence before Tyler started to speak again. "Ok then, enough with the mushy family stuff we have another job to do." "What is it this time?" Kyle asked. "The sharks are going back to school if you get what I'm saying." Kyle let out a frustrated sigh. "Well there's no way I'll be able to get out of this hospital." "I figured as much. But that's why I got the best duelists that the Card Sharks have in order pull off this job." Kyle smirked, "Then good luck Tyler." Tyler nods his head and exits the room. Kyle lays back down on the bed then looks at his mark. 'I keep getting the feeling that I'm missing something, and it had to with this mark on my arm.'
The scene changes to Dale's house this time and he was in his garage working on his duel runner listening to the music that was playing from his laptop. "Your still working on that duel runner?" May asked as she walked through the open garage door. "Yeah I just have a few more things to fix before it'll be good as new again." He replied. May smiled, "Well that's good to hear." Dale shut off the music from his laptop and then preceded to sit down on the chair that laptop previously occupied. "Did you see the school paper yet this morning?" Dale asked typing away on his computer. "No why?" May asked looking at the laptop from over Dale's shoulder. "Well according to this link that Garrett sent me this morning, it would appear that they're going to choose the 2 duelists for the tournament this Friday. That gives us one week left of dueling before they decide." "I have a hard time believing that." "Why?" "You don't read." "Look, if you wanna be productive then help me finish my duel runner." "Ok fine." So those two go back to working on Dale's runner. The rest of the day was pretty un-eventful, with Dale and May busy with the duel runner that left Dawn and Garrett to hang out at the park together.
Fast enough, Friday rolled around in Mniscus City and the crew was sitting in Mr. Crawford's new classroom. It's been about 3 weeks since the incident and everyone is anxious to hear who's going to the tournament and who isn't. "Ok class are there any questions on today's lesson?" Mr. Crawford asked. Dale raises his hand. "Yes Dale." "How long do we have stay down here in the basement?" "Good question, but here's a better one, WHY DID YOU AND GARRETT DESTROY MY CLASSROOM?!" "I told you it wasn't us, and besides I was an innocent bystander." Garrett sighs at their petty argument, 'There they go again.' "Now as I was saying," Mr. Crawford continued, "The chancellor should be announcing the two representatives at the end of the day, so any duels you have you better make them count. "Hmm, sweet Garrett we totally got this right?" "Maybe, but just because we won against the two best doesn't lock us in, there is still one day of dueling left, so let's give it our best shot."
Dawn and May were up in their seats conversing with each other. "Those two sure are looking peppy today aren't they Dawn?" "Well I think you would be too if you had as big a chance of getting in the tournament as they do." "Well remember Dawn that there is still one duel class left," "Yeah so you better give it your all May," "Right you too Dawn," The class bell rings. "Awesome class is over, check ya later Mr. C," Dale said as he blasted out the door, "When did he begin to talk like that?" Garrett said as he followed suit. "Grr, who does that Dale think he is making a fool of me like that. Well I won't have it. I will get my revenge." What Mr. Crawford didn't know was that most of the class was still in the room and had heard everything he just said. "What! Get to class before your late." Mr. Crawford said making everyone scatter away.
Later that day the quartet was walking in the hallway wrapped up in conversation. They were on their way to the auditorium so the last school duel before the tournament could get underway. "So do you guys have any idea who will be dueling today?" Dale asked. "Not a clue." May replied. "No need to worry we'll find out soon enough, so let's just keep our hopes up and maybe it will be one of us." Dawn said cheerily. "I agree with Dawn, any one of us has just as good a chance of getting picked for the tournament than anybody else here." Garrett said smiling to his friends. "You see that you two. Try having a positive attitude for once and maybe something good will happen to you." Dawn said smiling back to Garrett. "That's easy for you to say." May mumbled causing Dale to chuckle.
"Attention all students and faculty. The school duel will begin shortly. Would all personnel please report to the auditorium to watch. Thank you." A voice said over the loud speaker. "I guess there starting the duel early today." May said glancing at the clock. "It's probably so they'll have time to announce the representatives before school lets out." Dawn concluded. "That makes sense to me." Dale agreed. "Then we better make haste so we have time to find a good seat." Garrett said. "Good idea." Dawn replied. The quartet of friends picked up their pace towards the auditorium.
"Ok everybody." Mr. Henry started. "The first participant in today's duel will be miss Dawn Berlitz." Dawn squealed from her seat next to Garrett. "Oh my god, I actually got picked to duel. This is so exciting." "Calm down Dawn, and knock them dead." Garrett offered her. "Right, no need to worry," She replied. She bounced her way up to the dueling arena stood their awaiting her opponents arrival. "And for her opponent. Please welcome, miss May Maple." Mr. Henry again shouted into the mic. "Alright, I get to duel Dawn in the school duel." She said. "Yup and the best of luck to ya." Dale said before she made her way up to the arena next to Dawn. "This is going to be one interesting match." Dale said to Garrett. "Yup, one they both have been waiting for." Garrett replied.
"Just like in any duel the goal is to win, but remember that this is also the last duel before the tournament members are picked, so give it your best shot and remember to have fun in the process." Mr. Henry said before stepping out of the way allowing the two girls to take things from there.
"You ready Dawn?" May asked. "Yup, the spotlight is on us so let's make this good." She replied. "Duel!" they both shouted.
"I'll make the first move." Dawn shouted drawing a card from her deck. "I summon Constellar Algiedi in attack mode, (4/1600/1400) and using her effect I can special summon Constellar Pollux in attack mode as well. (4/1700/600) Next up I'll use them both to build the overlay network in order to Xyz summon Constellar Omega! (R4/2400/500)"
"Wow, an Xyz summon on the first turn. That's got to top anything you've ever done." Garrett said. "Oh shut up." Dale barked back.
"Wow great turn Dawn." May said.
"Thanks May I end my turn with one card facedown." She replied.
"Then that means it's my turn now." May said. "And so sorry to say Dawn but I'm activating the spell card Dark Hole to destroy your monster."
"Sorry May but I activate my monsters effect. You see by detaching one Xyz material from my monster I can prevent him from being destroyed by card effects this turn." Dawn countered.
"Nice one, I summon Dragunity Partisan in attack mode. (2/1200/800) Now I activate his ability, I can now special summon my Dragunity Militum in attack mode and equip Partisan to him. (4/1700/1200) Next I use Militum's effect to once again summon Partisan to the field. (2/1200/800) My 2 monsters now tune together to synchro summon Dragunity Knight Gae Dearg in atk mode. (6/2400/800) With my monsters effect I can now add Dragunity Phalanx to my hand and then discard Dragunity Legionnaire to the graveyard. I then end my turn with one card facedown." May said.
"It's back to me then!" Dawn shouted drawing another card. "I sacrifice Constellar Omega to summon out Constellar Rescha. (6/2200/1200) and once again his ability allows me to summon out another monster from my hand in def mode, so allow me to introduce to you Constellar Antares in def mode. (6/2400/900) Next I'll overlay both of my monsters to Xyz summon Constellar Ptolemys Messier 7 in atk mode. (R6/2700/2000) Next I'll activate it's special ability, by detaching one material from him. I can return your synchro monster back to your extra deck." Dawn said.
"Oh no!" May exclaimed.
"Now here comes a direct attack!" Dawn shouted.
"Urg! (May 1300)" May groaned.
"I'm sorry to have to do this May but I activate my facedown card, Battle Return." Dawn said.
Garrett raises a brow knowing exactly what the card Dawn just activated is capable of. "I've never even heard of that card before." Dale said. "Then you might want to pay attention buddy." Garrett replied.
"Now then by cutting the attack points of my monster in half I can have it attack you once again. (1350)"
"Whoa! Didn't see that coming." Dale said. "Looks like this match could be over." Garrett said. "I wouldn't count May out yet Gar." Dale replied.
"Now to finish this duel off with another direct attack." Dawn said.
"Sorry Dawn, but I play the effect of my Battle Fader. Since your attacking my LPs directly I can now special summon him in def mode to end the battle phase." May countered.
"Oh well maybe next turn." Dawn said ending her own.
"My go!" May shouted with determination. "I sacrifice Battle Fader to summon to the field Dragunity Arma Mystletainn in atk mode. (6/2100/1500) And when normal summoned, I can equip him with a dragon type monster from my graveyard, so I'll equip him with Dragunity Partisan. Next my facedown card activates, Winged Revival! This card brings back a winged beast monster from my graveyard but lowers its level by one. So return to the field Dragunity Legionnaire in atk mode. (2/1200/800) and thanks to the effect of the Partisan, Arma is now a tuner monster so I'll be performing another synchro summon. I tune my 2 monsters together to synchro summon the all mighty Dragunity Knight Barcha! (8/2000/1200)" May shouted.
"Nice combo May." Dawn said.
"Thanks I activate his spe…"
May was cut off as a sudden loud rumbling went through the auditorium. "What was that?" She asked when it quieted down. Murmurs went through the entire place as everyone had the same question in their minds. "Umm, sorry for the sudden delay but there will be a short intermission." Mr. Henry said. The chancellor left the auditorium to find the source of the unexpected noise. After awhile had passed and there was still no sign of the chancellor returning, Dawn and May proceeded to just call the duel a tie and both girls deactivated their disks and were about to exit the arena when the doors to the auditorium burst open and tons of Card Shark duelists flooded into the room.
Chaos and mass hysteria erupted in the room as everyone immediately panicked and tried to get away before a shark caught them and forced them into a duel for their deck. Lost in the sea of students Garrett and Dale were trying their hardest to push their way past everyone so they could get to the arena and help out there friends. When they finally got up there they saw that there were several duels going on between sharks and the unlucky students who got caught. The bad part was that they couldn't find Dawn or May anywhere. "This is really bad." Dale said. "Yeah, we better find Dawn and May fast before something bad happens to them." Garrett replied. "Should we split up?" Dale asked. "No, I think sticking together is our best option right now." "GUYS! Help me!" May shouted from the far side of the arena. "Let's get moving." Dale shouted taking off in May's direction with Garrett not far behind him.
"Oh thank god you guys are ok." May said when they got to her. She gave Dale a tight hug and without knowing it, he started blushing a bit. "Are you ok?" Dale asked when they left their embrace. "Yeah I'm fine." Dale noticed that May was holding her left arm tightly in pain and was trying not to walk on her right leg. "No you're not, your hurt." Dale said steadying her by lying his arm on her shoulder. "Forget about me Dawn's the one who needs help." May replied. "Where is she?" Garrett asked. "I don't know, I lost her in all this confusion." May replied. "No! I hope she's alright." Garrett said. "Then why don't you go look for her." Dale said. "Are you sure?" Garrett replied. Dale smiled a sincere smile, "Defiantly, I'll get May outta here. As soon as you find Dawn we'll meet back up at your house ok." Dale explained his plan. Garrett nodded then took off in a different direction. "Ok, now let's get you outta here." Dale said attempting to put May on his back piggyback style. Before he was able to however, a cable came flying out of nowhere and latched itself onto May's duel disk. "Ah!" She yelped. "What's this?" Dale said confused. "It's obviously a link cable, but I'm afraid that the least of your worries right now." A voice said.
Dale instantly recognized the voice and looked directly at where it came from. "Drew! Why don't you do us all a favor and get lost!" Dale screamed. "Sorry Shark-Bait but that's not going to happen. Now if you'll be so kind as to step away and let me have my duel with May. I promise I'll make it quick and painless." He replied. "Is that what this cable is for? Forcing innocent students to play your pathetic game." Dale said. "That's right, and May's my catch of the day." Drew said with a smug look on his face. "Dale." May says with a tinge of pain in her voice. "Just let me duel him I can handle this. Besides what if Garrett needs your help?" "Oh no!" Dale said back, "Your in no position to duel, besides I'll never forgive myself if I let Drew beat you and take your deck away."
Before she could refuse Dale quickly took her duel disk and placed it on his arm. He then pulled his deck out and placed it in the machine ready to step up and protect his friend. "Dale you don't have to do this for me." May said finally finding her voice. "I want to. I refuse to let anything happen to you. I'm not letting you duel against Drew while your hurt, so I'll take him on for you." Dale replied. Although Dale might not have seen it May's face was redder than her outfit and her heart had began to beat a million times faster at his vow. "Aww that's sweet, really it is. But it doesn't matter who I duel, because in the end I'll take both of your decks for my own." Drew said activating his own duel disk. "I don't think so, because I'm about to turn this duel on Drew!" Dale yelled taking the classic dueling stance.
Switching gears to our other hero, Garrett was walking through the now destroyed halls of the school. 'Man, the Card Sharks must really be after something important if they're willing to destroy the school.' Garrett thought. He did a front handspring to avoid getting crushed by a piece of the ceiling as it fell from above. 'I better find Dawn quick and get outta here.' He thought again picking up his pace through the collapsing building. He turned the corner and walked into another hallway. 'Ugh, still no sign of her. I really hope she's ok.' "Well fancy meeting you here Garrett." Somebody said as they walked up to the synchron duelist. "Tyler? What are you doing here?" Garrett asked. "I heard what you did to Kyle. Now thanks to you, he's stuck in the hospital under intensive care." "What happened to Kyle wasn't my fault. Now I suggest that you get out of my way." Garrett replied. "You cannot escape your fate Garrett Hughes. I will defeat you right here and now." Tyler said throwing a duel cable at Garrett's duel disk. Before it could make contact though a hand reached out and grabbed the cable. "You know, a forced duel isn't really that fun." A deep voice said from behind Garrett.
"Zane?" Garrett asked. The older duelist had caught the cable. "Since you seem so keen on having a duel. I'll be your opponent instead." Zane said. Tyler growled and glared daggers at Zane. "But so you don't try to pull any tricks." Zane attached the cable to his own duel disk assuring that neither duelist could get away. "Thanks Zane I owe you one." Garrett said. Zane cracked a small smile, "Don't you have a certain someone to be looking for?" He calmly said. "Right." Garrett replied before sprinting down the rest of the hallway in search for his blue haired companion. "I don't know who you think you are, but I'll be glad to show you the error of your ways by beating you in this duel." Tyler said. "I'm sure you are now let's duel." Zane said with no emotion.
"I'll make the first move." Drew said. "I summon Infernity Beast in atk mode. (3/1600/1200) and end my turn with one card facedown."
"Then it's my move!" Dale said, "I summon the Hieratic Dragon of Gebeb in atk mode. (4/1800/400) Next I attack Infernity Beast!"
"I activate my trap card Depth Amulet. Now I can negate your attack by discarding one card from my hand." Drew said.
"Fine then, I end my turn with a facedown card." Dale said.
'Be careful Dale, he's planning something I just know it.' May thought. Back in the hospital Kyle was just lying in bed watching TV when he felt his mark start to sting. "Urg!" He grunted sitting up in the bed. 'It's Dale! He must be in trouble, I can feel it.' Kyle thought.
"It's my turn again." Drew said. "I summon Infernity Archfiend in atk mode. (4/1800/1200) Next I activate the spell card Shrink."
"No! (900)" Dale shouted.
"Now my Beast can attack your dragon." Drew said.
"Urg! (Dale 3300)" Dale grunted.
"Now my Archfiend can move in for a direct attack." Drew shouted.
"NO!" May screamed.
"I activate my trap card, Dragon Barrier. This card will protect me from your direct attack as long as I send a dragon type monster from my deck to the graveyard and I choose my Hieratic Seal of the Sun Dragon Overlord." Dale countered.
"Fine I end my turn." Drew said.
"It's my turn then!" Dale shouted drawing his card. 'Ok, Drew has 2 cards left in his hand so there's no way he'll discard another one for Depth Amulets effect.' Dale thought. "I special summon the Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit in atk mode. (6/2100/1000) Now usually I wouldn't be able to attack on the turn that he's summoned this way but this little spell card changes the rules around. I activate the spell card Dragon's Wrath!"
Drew narrows his eyes.
"This card forces my dragon into doing battle so I'll be attacking that Infernity Archfiend with my dragon." Dale said.
"You must really not pay attention in class to well. I re-activate the effect of my Depth Amulet. So by discarding a card I can negate your attack." Drew countered.
'So he's trying to get rid of his cards.' Dale concluded in his head. "I end my turn with one card facedown."
"It's back to me then." Drew shouted. "Looks like you're in for a special treat Dale. I sacrifice both of my monsters to advance summon the Dark Tuner Nightmare Hand in atk mode. (10/0/0)"
"Did you just say Dark Tuner?" Dale asked.
"I've never even heard of that before." May said.
"That's right and just like how regular tuner monsters are used to add up to level of the synchro monster, mine is used in the exact opposite way." Drew explained.
"I don't get it."
"Instead of explaining it why don't I just show you. I use the effect of Nightmare Hand to special summon Infernity Dwarf to the field. (2/800/500) Next I dark tune him to my Nightmare Hand to dark synchro summon a negative level 8 monster." Drew said.
"What! Negative!" May said.
"You might want to take some cover." Dale replied.
"I dark synchro summon 100 Eyes Dragon! (-8/3000/2000)" Drew shouted.
"Great, just my lucky day." Dale said sarcastically.
"Now my pet attack Tefnuit with Infinity Sight Stream!" Drew yelled.
"Ahh! (Dale 2400)" Dale said.
"I end my turn." Drew said.
"It's my go!" Dale said. "You may have me down but I am not out. I activate the spell card the Hieratic Seal of Greed. I can now banish Gebeb from my graveyard to draw 2 cards from my deck. Next I normal summon to the field the Hieratic Dragon of Eset, (5/1900/1200) and I can by dropping his points to by a little. (1000)" Dale said.
"I don't see the big deal about that." Drew gloated.
"Oh it's a very big deal. I activate the spell card Monster Reborn and with it I'm bring back my seal from the graveyard, (8/0/0) next I use Eset's effect to make him the same level as my seal! (8) Now for the grand finale. I overlay my 2 monsters to Xyz summon, the Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis. (R8/3000/2400)" Dale said.
"Yeah, that's the way to duel Dale." May cheered.
"Impressive monster I must admit, but he isn't strong enough to take down my dragon." Drew said.
"That's where his ability comes in handy, by detaching one overlay unit I can tribute a number of monsters from my hand or my side of the field to destroy the same number of cards on the field. So I'll tribute Su from my hand as well as my Savoir Dragon to destroy 100 Eyes and your Depth Amulet." Dale said.
"I don't think so I play the effect of Infernity Veiler! Because I have no cards in my hand, I can banish this monster from my graveyard to stop your monsters effect and destroy him." Drew countered.
"Man, I'm just not having much luck with this guy lately. Oh well, since I tributed Su from my hand I can bring back a Seal from my graveyard in atk mode. (8/0/0) That ends my turn." Dale said.
"Since it's been 3 turns now, my Depth Amulet is all out of power and therefore destroyed. But I'm not done yet now I think I'll play another card facedown and attack with my dragon." Drew said.
"I activate the trap card Photon Current! This card gives any light monster that battles with an opponent's monster atk points equal to your monsters atk points." Dale said.
"I activate my dragons ability." Drew countered.
"What's it do?" Dale couldn't help but ask.
"It allows me to use the effects of any dark type monster in my graveyard and I think I'll start with my Infernity Beast!"
"Grr." Dale growled.
"Because I have no cards in my hand, you can't activate trap cards during the battle phase, so Photon Current fails." Drew said.
"I can still save my LPs though." Dale said as his monster was destroyed. "You see when I'm about to take damage I can remove my Savior Dragon from play to make that damage zero." Dale explained.
"So you live for another turn. I'm done." Drew said.
'If I don't find a way around this combo of his, then this could very well be my last turn of the duel. And if I lose then May's a goner.' Dale thought.
As Dale continues to go face to face with Drew and his 100 Eyes Dragon, Garrett continues to roam the school in search of Dawn.
