Hi everyone, DisneyAnimefan94 here and welcome back to Carnival Wave Arc II. Sorry if things are getting delayed,but I will try to continue this when I can. So let's begin the two parter Puppet Master.
Disclaimer: I don't own Zexal just this story and its OCs.
Chapter 10: Puppet Master Part I
Inside Shark and Ryan's apartment building, the two boys were fast asleep Ryan especially getting rest for the next day's duel against him and his brother's nemesis Quattro. Ryan was up all night trying to figure out which cards to go with but decided to go with the deck his brother and sister helped him construct. However not all was peaceful. Inside Ryan's room something had just materialized while the long haired boy was still asleep. It was Vetrix and he flashed a wicked smile.
"You're asleep good." He said quietly trying not to wake the young boy up. Vetrix then raised his hand as a crest appeared on it as a ray of purple light then shunned on the sleeping boy. "Now Ryan, let's see what kind of duelist you truly are by tomorrow." He said with a laugh. "Because as of now your mine!" He said as he then put his hand on Ryan's forehead.
Ryan's POV
I opened my eyes to find myself in the lobby of the stadium. I still couldn't shake off that dream of Vetrix trying to take control of me. So after waking up earlier then my usual wake up time, I took a shower as did my brother and we headed out to the stadium early. I was in the lobby concentrating on my opponent, Quattro, the guy who ruined my family's life. Just thinking of the guy made me sick after he left his deck behind just so my brother could find it and cheat his way out of a duel to win the championship. And then after that winning trophy after trophy, becoming the "greatest" duelist of all time. If only people could see what he truly was. I then heard a knock on the door which broke me out of my thoughts.
"Ryan, the duel is about to begin." I heard my brother Shark say on the other side. I got up from my bench and then walked out the room to see him giving me a grin. "So you ready?" He said as I gave him a smirk.
"You bet." I said as we then heard the roar of the crowed.
"Good luck." He said as I nodded then walked towered the tunnel that lead into the stadium.
Shark's POV
As I looked as my adopted brother walking out I then frowned, that wasn't my brother. At least not personality wise. Just yesterday he was his nice yet serious self and now he was this attitudinal person like me. I was beginning to wondering if my personal grudge with Quattro had rubbed him the wrong way and that now it was his duty to finish off Quattro. I then felt a pain in my heart. It's the same pain I felt since Quattro's younger brother Trey had given me that Number Card. I wanted to get rid of it, but I then had a feeling if Ryan couldn't beat Quattro, then I would have to by using Shark Drake.
Meanwhile…
"Dine are you sure you can't reach Ryan. He has a duel to start after all." Gaios asked as Dine shook her head.
"No it's weird. It's like something is blocking our connection." She said as Gaios sat on his throne and stroked his beard.
"I don't like this." He muttered to himself.
Ryan's POV
I just got to the stadium when Mr. Heartland introduced both me and Quattro as I could hear the crowd favoring Quattro.
"Well it looks like they know who the winner is." I heard Quattro say as I grunted.
"Now let's get started, duelist, get your duel disk's ready!" Mr. Heartland announced as both Quattro and me smirked.
"Duel disk go!" I shouted as it landed on my arm. "Duel Visor!" I said as I put it on as the AR link was activated.
"Let's Duel!"
Quattro 4000/Ryan 4000
"I'll go first, I draw!" Quattro said as I stood ready for what he was going to throw at me. "First I set one card face down in defense mode." He said as the hologram for a face down appeared on the field. "Then I activate the field spell Xyz coliseum." He said as a coliseum appeared around us. "Now only Xyz monsters can attack and they can two hundred extra attack points. I end my turn." I smirked at this.
"So this is what the great Quattro has planned for me? A face down and a field spell? Well betting you in front of your fan girls will be easier than I thought." I said as it was my turn. "It's my turn I draw!" I said as I looked at my cards. I then looked at my side to see Dine wasn't there as usual to cheer me on, but I didn't need her. I had all the power I need right in my hand to end this duel and finish off Quattro for good. "I summon Mermail Abysspike in attack mode!" I said as my go to monster appeared on the field.
[Mermail Abysspike 1600/1800]
"I now activate Abysspike's special ability, by sending one water attribute monster to my graveyard, I can draw one level three water attribute monster to my hand. ." I said as I send my monster from my hand to the graveyard. "And now I will activate that monster's special ability in my graveyard, Mermail Abyssheilde!" I said as a holo version of her appeared. "Since she is in my graveyard, I can special summon one Mermail from my hand, and I summon Mermail Abyssturge!" I said as a second Mermail appeared on the field.
[Mermail Abyssturge 1700/1100]
"And now I activate Abyssturge's special ability, by sending water attribute monster to my card graveyard I can add one level three water monster to my hand." I said discarding another card from my hand to the graveyard and picking up Abyssheilde. "But I won't be using them for now, for now I will overlay my two level four monsters." I said as the two turned into orbs of light and went into a black hole. "With these two monsters I build the overlay network and Xyz summon, Bahamut Shark!" I said as my shark monster appeared.
[Bahamut Shark 2600-2800/2100]
"Oh yawn!" Quattro said as I stared at him "I know what is going to happen next. I should know, I've seen the way you duel. Or are you too afraid to attack using the monster you just summoned?" He said as I gritted my teeth.
"You're going to regret your words Ivy!" I said in anger. "I activate the spell card Shark's Roar!" I said as my shark let out an enormous roar almost shaking the duel field. "Since I control a Shark monster, I can flip one face down card to attack position." I said as his monster flipped up reviling to be a Gimmick Puppet Princess.
[Gimmick Puppet Princess 0/0]
All too easy. "Now Bahamut Shark attack Gimmick Puppet Princess!" I said as my shark attacked the princess sending Quattro flying backwards as I smiled. It felt good being on the winning side of things in the duel.
Quattro 4000-1200/Ryan 4000
Quattro then got up and wiped off the dirt on his lips.
"Not bad kid, but I saw that coming from a mile away. I activate my trap card Puppet Repair. Now since a level four or below Puppet monster was destroyed, I can special summon another one with the same name. I special summon Gimmick Puppet Princess!" He said special summoning another princess.
[Gimmick Puppet Princess 0/0]
"I set one card face down and end my turn." I said as I glared over to Quattro.
Quattro's POV
That's it Oliver, keep getting angry. The more you get angry the more you can't use your special mermail powers on me and win the duel just like Vetrix said you would. I knew it was my time to shine again and end this duel.
"It's my turn I draw!" I said but before I could make my next move I noticed fog appearing right under both me and Ryan. I looked to see where the fog came from when I looked up at the luxury box to see Vetrix smiling. Could he be behind this? I then looked around to see the entire duel field covered in fog. We couldn't see anyone on the outside as it was just me and Ryan. Well so much for not giving my fans, fan service. I looked down at my hand and grinned.
"Ryan, this is the end for you. I activate the spell card Level Doubler. By sending one card to the graveyard, I can double the level of my Gimmick Puppet Princess to eight."
{Gimmick Puppet Princess Lv. 4-8}
"And now I activate the special ability of the card I sent to the graveyard, Dreary Doll! By removing it from play I can special summon another Dreary Doll!." I said as the doll appeared on my side of the field.
[Dreary Doll 0/0]
"And guess what Ryan? I have two level eight monsters out on the field. So now I overlay my two level eight monsters. With these two monsters I build the overlay network and Xyz summon Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!" I said as my ace puppet monster appeared on the field.
[Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Grinder 1500-1700/2500]
"Now Ryan Oliver, time for you to experience the true power of my fan service. It's a shame your own emotions will be your down fall." I said with a laugh knowing Ryan has just become my next victim.
To be Continued…
Next time on the conclusion of Puppet Master: Ryan has just gotten face to face with Quattro's Number card. And Quattro has a trick up his sleeves to make the situation worse. And with Ryan's emotions still set on anger it will be up to Shark and the Mermails to bring him back to his normal self. But how? Next time on Carnival Wave Arc II: Puppet Master Part II.
