Nightlance44: Konami will get Timaeus and the others after his duel with Dark Magician Girl.
Grand Persona Fantasy: Yeah, I'm sorry for about that. I really am.
Gearniac: I know but I thought it would be okay for her to speak only to voice her concerns.
- Chapter 10 -
Daichi vs Manjoume!
Part 2
TURN 11 - DAICHI x2
"My turn!" Daichi drew his card "I set a card face down and end my turn."
"Hmph! Here I thought you were going to do something impressive but I guessed you are nothing but talk!" Manjoume commented
TURN 12 - MANJOUME x0
"My turn!" Manjoume said as he drew his card "Battle Phase! V-Tiger Jet, attack face-down his monster now!"
"Eh?" Sho asked before placing his hand under his chin while using the other to support his elbow "Why isn't Manjoume using Dragon Cannon's effect?"
"Maybe the card he has in his hand is too valuable to throw away." Judai informed his "little brother"
The tiger crouched down before charging and pouncing at its target, the monster revealed itself to Gamma The Magnet Warrior as it withstood the attack from the metal tiger. The jet-like tiger backed away as his owner Life Points dropped.
Manjoume - 7000 LP x1
Daichi - 7500 LP x2
"Damn it! XYZ Dragon Cannon! Attack Gamma The Magnet Warrior!" Manjoume commanded as he pointed at the pink magnet warrior as his Dragon Cannon readied its blasters and slowly fired lasers at its target as the small creature groaned in agony before disappearing in flash of light.
"I activate my face-down Trap card; Backup Soldier!" Daichi said as he revealed his trap card "This card can only when there is 5 or more monsters in my Graveyard and to your attack, I have more than enough!"
"Oh really?" Manjoume said boringly before talking to his opponent in a mockingly tone "And what exactly does it this card do?"
"For your information, Manjoume. This card can be pretty useful when used the right way!" Daichi replied before explaining "This allows me to select 3 monsters with 1500 ATK or less from my Graveyard and add them to my hand!"
"I choose Alpha and Gamma The Magnet Warrior!" Daichi said before his monsters returned to his hand and smirked at his opponent
Manjoume scoffed "Big deal! It still won't save you from my wrath, Misawa!"
"A true duelist always take what they can get for whatever card they don't use could lead to their downfall!" Daichi commented
"Whatever! I set a card and end my turn!"
"My turn!" Daichi said as he drew his card and looked at it to find out it was "Draw!"
TURN 13 - DAICHI x5
"Perfect! Cyber Jar!" Daichi thought to himself and looked at the card Manjoume set curiously "I don't what kind of card you are but its a shame I can't get rid of you at the moment..."
"I set a monster and a card. I end my turn." Daichi said which caused Manjoume to grin for some reason
"My turn!" Manjoume said before drawing his card "Draw!"
TURN 14 - MANJOUME x1
"I activate XYZ Dragon Cannon's effect! Say goodbye to your face down monster, Misawa!"
Daichi widened his eyes "Oh no! My Cyber Jar..!"
The machine prepared its turret as it gathered energy and fired at its target as the small machine burst to bits
"Battle Phase! V-Tiger Jet, attack him directly!"
The mechanical tiger crouched down before charging at the Ra
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell card; Limiter Removal!"
"Oh lord..." Konami thought to himself
"Huh? What does that do?" Hayato asked
Professor Chronos was about to open his mouth for the first time but Shou was faster
"It doubles all Machine-Type monsters on the wielder's field but are destroyed during on the End Phase it was activated..." Sho said quite knowledgably which caused the three students to look at him slightly shocked as Professor Chronos bent his head down in shame at his student stealing his spotlight
The metal tiger's eyes glowed bright red as it static was moving around it's metal alloy while it kept charging towards Daichi as it let out a mighty roar
V-Tiger Jet -LV4- (3200/1800)
The combined machine monster groaned as he also felt the power following through his metal body
XYZ Dragon Cannon -LV8- (5600/2600)
"This is not good..." Konami mused
"V-Tiger Jet, attack Misawa directly!"
The metal tiger pounced as it let out a low yet vicious growl it attacked Daichi and slashed his torso before returning to his owner
"Guaaahh!" Daichi fell on his knee as he coverd his stomach with arm and Life Points depleted while lightly grunting much to his friends' horror and Manjoume's expanse
Manjoume - 7000 LP x0
Daichi - 4300 LP x3
"Misawa!" Judai said out of concern
"If he doesn't do something, he'll lose!" Shou and Hayato said in unison
"It's all over for you, Misawa!" Manjoume said with a devious smile before pointing at his "helpless" opponent and commanding his Dragon Cannon to attack
"XYZ Dragon Cannon! Attack Misawa and end this duel!"
The machine began to ready its turret and charge its attack
"Do something..!" Konami thought to himself
"Goodbye, Misawa!" Manjoume said as his machine fired its beam at Daichi
"Misawa!"
"Daichi!"
"I activate my Trap card; Sakuratsu Armor!" Daichi said while on the floor as his card revealed itself
"What?! You had a card like that in your deck?!" Manjoume asked as he widen his eyes as quickly as he narrowed them
"That's right!" Daichi said with a grin "This card can only be activated when my opponent declares an attack! Say goodbye to your Dragon Cannon."
The trap card let out a violent stream of wind as it pushed back the beam and sent it back the source it came form. The machine groaned in pain as it body was about explode.
BOOOM!
Everyone covered themselves from the explosion so they won't inhale the smoke. After it dissolved, it revealed an angry yet irritated Manjoume, who was glared at Daichi
"I end my turn..." Manjoume said with slight contempt
"Lets not forget about the effect from your Limiter Removal! When your turn ends your V-Tiger Jet will be no more!" Daichi commented
The metal tiger eyes were starting to glow bright as its body was having a system malfunction. The tiger was shaken uncontrollably as it let out a weak roar and headed for a breakdown, it exploded but it wasn't close as intense as the last.
"Tsk!"
"Hmph!"
Judai was lightly giggling with his hand covering his mouth but it was loud enough for the people next to him to hear, which caused them to look at the Slifer confusingly
"What's so funny, Judai?" Asuka asked curiously as she looked the young boy
Judai's face was a little red and light tears was forming in his eyes as he kept pointing his finger at the individual at from the far right as Asuka and the other two Slifers turned their heads to see who it was...
It was Konami...
A question mark appeared on top of Konami head and wondering what he said or did that was so funny "What did I do that was so funny?"
Judai tried straitening himself but failed as he looked Konami with a cheeky smile "You shouted Misawa's name out of concern, didn't you?"
Konami's body lightly jolted when Judai said that "Y-Yeah, so what?!"
Judai chuckled "Like I said before, Konami. You're just a big softie on the inside."
"I told you that I'm not a softie!" Konami yelled for the first time ever since he got here which surprised everyone since they always thought of him as a cool, calm, and collected person but his voice wasn't loud or abrasive it sounded comical and forgiving if anything else. Konami's reaction made Asuka, Shou, and Hayato fight the urge to join Judai while he was laughing at him.
"Whatever you say, Konami..." Judai said nonchantly which only promoted Konami's ire even more
"Stop mocking me!"
Daichi smiled as he looked at the group "I appreciate your concern everyone, but I have everything under control."
Manjoume's anger grew when he heard the Ra's words "Pretty big talk coming for the guy, who almost lost!"
"This Duel isn't over yet, Manjoume." Daichi said before drawing his card "My turn!"
TURN 15 - DAICHI x5
"I summon Gamma The Magnet Warrior in Attack Mode!"
The small magnet warrior appeared onto the field
Gamma The Magnet Warrior -LV4- (1500/1800)
"Battle Phase! Gamma The Magnet Warrior, attack him directly!"
The little warrior charged at straight towards Manjoume and gave the Obelisk a strong punch to the gut
"Gruh!"
The warrior backed away from the blue student and return to Daichi's side as Manjoume was on his knee while covering his stomach
Manjoume - 5500 LP x0
Daichi - 4300 LP x4
Manjoume scuffed "That all you got?"
"Actually..." Daichi said before smiling "Not at all..."
Manjoume's eyes widened "What?!"
"I activate my Trap card; Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane!" Daichi said as he revealed his card in front of Manjoume
"Spiritual Earth Ar-wi what?" Judai asked in confusingly
"It's a Trap card that allows the wielder to tribute 1 Earth monster they control from their field to the Graveyard in order to Special Summon any Level 4 or lower Earth monster from your Graveyard in that creature's place except for the monster you tribute." Asuka explained to your dim-witted friend
"Oh, alright..."
"I tribute my Magnet Warrior to bring back my Sabersaurus!"
The small warrior disappeared as he the triceratops showed up in its place
Sabersaurus -LV4- (1900/500)
"Attack him directly!" Daichi said as he pointed at Manjoume
The monster charged at him and knocked Manjoume down as his back hit the floor
"Guah!" Manjoume grunted as his Life Points dropped
Manjoume - 3600 LP x0
Daich - 4300 LP x4
"Alright, Misawa!" Judai cheered
"Yeah! Now, Misawa-kun has more Life Points!" Shou said happily
"I didn't think Misawa-kun would make a comeback so quickly." Asuka commented
"I told this Duel isn't over yet, didn't I?" Daichi asked as he looked at the wounded Obelisk
Manjoume bristled "Shut up, Mr. Know-It-All!"
"Hmph! I end my turn!" Daichi said as Manjoume was getting back up
TURN 16 - MANJOUME x0
Manjoume's eyes were starting to get a little veiny "You're making me, angry!"
"I'm pretty sure anyone can see that, ya jackass." Konami thought to himself
"My turn!" Manjoume shouted as he drew his card "It's time I activated my face-down card; Return From Another Dimension!"
"Now he can special summon as many monsters as possible he removed from the game by simply paying half of his Life Points." Konami explained for Manjoume as he grunted as his Life Points have been cut in half
Manjoume - 1800 LP x1
Daichi - 4300 LP x4
A vortex from above appeared as Manjoume grinned deviously
"Return to me, my machine monsters!" Manjoume shouted as the three machines come back to him "Now go and combine yourselves into one!"
The machines combined together once more
XYZ Dragon Cannon -LV8- (2800/2600)
"Not again..." Shou mused
"These two are really going all-out but given the stakes, you can't be surprised." Konami commented
Manjoume at the card in his hand wondering if he should risk it
"I hope I don't regret this decision!" Manjoume thought to himself before speaking "Now, my dragon cannon! Attack his monster!"
"Huh?" Everyone else said at his statement
"Why isn't he activating his dragon's effect?" Hayato asked curiously
"I don't know but it must something very important." Shou commented
"I hope you know what your doing, Signore Manjoume." Professor Chronos thought to himself
The machine blew the dinosaur back to the stone age with its turrets as Daichi's LP dropped
Manjoume - 1800 LP x0
Daichi - 3400 LP x4
"I set a card face-down and end my turn."
TURN 17 - DAICHI x4
"I don't know what kind of card you drew but I'll get rid of it eventually." Daichi said before drawing "Draw! I set a monster face-down and end my turn."
"EHH?! That's all!" Shou and Hayato asked in disbelief
"That's probably all he can do at the moment." Asuka said with a frown
Manjoume had a satisfied smile at Daichi's performance
TURN 18 - MANJOUME x0
"My turn, draw!" Manjoume looked at his card before activating his monster's effect "I activate my Dragon Cannon's effect! Say goodbye to your monster, Misawa!"
Manjoume discarded his card as his machine destroyed Daichi's monster
"You're wide open! Attack him directly!" Manjoume commanded as his monster fired lasers at Daichi's chest and knocked him on the floor as his points dropped greatly
Manjoume - 1800 LP x0
Daichi - 600 LP x4
"Misawa!"
"Now, Misawa-kun's Life Points are at a mere 600." Asuka said slightly worried
"If he doesn't do something soon, he'll lose." Shou commented
"I end my turn."
TURN 19 - DAICHI x4
Daichi slowly got back on his feet "My turn, draw!"
"I activate the Spell card; Pot of Avarice! When this card is activated, I can select 5 monsters in my Graveyard back to my deck and draw 2! I choose Gemini Elf, 2 Sabersaurus, Ganma, and Alpha The Magnet Warrior!"
He placed the selected cards back into his deck as Daichi's Duel Disk shuffled his cards for him
He drew his two cards and looked at them, Daichi seemed delighted at the second card he drew
"I activate the Spell card; Pot of Greed! This lets me draw 2 cards!" Daichi explained as he showed the card
"Yeah! There you go, Misawa!" Judai cheered
"Tsk! I think anyone with a brain already knew that!" Manjoume replied
"Better safe than sorry!" He said as he drew his cards "I set a monster and 2 cards face-down. I end my turn."
"I hope those face-downs have something really helpful." Konami said lowly
TURN 20 - MANJOUME x0
"My turn, draw!" Manjoume drew his card and examined the field carefully
"Is he trying to psych me out or they really something I should destroy...?" Manjoume thought to himself before making his decision "I am taking a huge risk here...!"
"I activate my Dragon Cannon's effect! I'll destroy your face-down monster!"
The machine destroyed its target with it's turrets
"This time...!" Manjoume said irately as he stared hard at Daichi
"Now my monster, end this Duel right now!" Manjoume said as he pointed at Daichi
The machine fired it's lasers at Daichi
"You can't let it end like this!" Konami thought to himself
"Sorry, Manjoume! I activate my Trap card; Sakuratsu Armor!"
"Again?" He shouted as his monster was destroyed "Damn it...!"
"I end my turn..."
TURN 21 - DAICHI x4
"This is the end for you, Manjoume!" Daichi said before drawing his card "My turn, draw!"
He drew his card and saw Alpha in his hands "I activate my Continuous Spell card; Heart of the Underdog! Since I drew a Normal monster from my hand, which means I can keep drawing until its a Spell or Trap card."
Manjoume scuffed
"Even if you summon a monster with enough Attack points to finish me, I'll just activate my Trap card; Call of the Haunted to bring my Dragon Cannon back!" Manjoume thought to himself
"If he gets a monster with 1800 ATK or more, he'll win!" Shou commented
Daichi drew again and showed his Sabersaurus in his hand, he didn't bother activating the full effect because he has everything he needs now
"I summon Sabersaurus in Attack mode!"
The dinosaur appeared on the field
"Battle Phase! Sabersaurus, attack Manjoume directly and end this now!"
"Not so fast, Misawa! I activate the Continuous Trap card; Call of the Haunted! This allows me to special summon a monster form my Graveyard to my side of the field." Manjoume explained "I choose my Dragon Cannon!"
"Oh no!"
"If Misawa-kun doesn't get rid of it then he'll lose!" Shou said worriedly
"I'm still in this!" Manjoume said as he saw Daichi smiling "Why are you smiling?"
"It's just as I calculated." Daichi said confidently "I activate the Quick-Play Spell card; Mystical Space Typhoon!"
WHAT?!" Manjoume shouted
"This lets me destroy 1 card on the field..." Daichi explained "I'm sure you know what that card is, don't you?"
The typhoon destroyed the card and disappeared as quickly as it came
"This can't be happening...!" Manjoume said and got knocked away from the triceratops as his LP went to zero
Manjoume - 0 LP x0
Daichi - 600 LP x4
"He did it! He won!" Judai and Shou shouted happily
"This must be some mistake...!" Manjoume denied as he tried to get back up
"Deny..." Daichi said as he looked at the defeated Manjoume "Like you denied throwing my deck into the ocean."
"Prove it!"
"Well, if you insist... Here is what card I fished out." Daichi said as he put his hand in his pocket and showed the card, it was a Vorse Raider with something written on it
"With the formula I wrote on it."
"You lied, stole, and lost. You deserve to be demoted!" Daichi said with a serious face
"This can't be..."
"Daichi Misawa!" Chronos said with a stoic look before being happy "Congratulations and Welcome to the Obelisk Blue!"
"No, I must decline that invitation."
"What?" Chronos said with a frown "But what for?"
"When I first arrived at the Academy. I decided I'd only enter when I become the #1 student."
He turned around to look at Judai and Konami
"Judai! Konami! Of all the freshmen... I know for a fact, it's one f you." Daichi said confident in his statement
"Hey, thanks!" Judai said casually "Does that mean you wanna settle it right now?"
"Seeing you guys duel made me wanna duel too!"
"I know I must defeat you two someday, Judai."
"But sorry. Not now."
"Aww... Why not?" Judai asked with the same puppy dog-eyes, he always gives Konami when he constantly denies dueling him
"Because I have a lot to do before dueling either of you. Many formulas to write and theorems to solve. You two are good Duelists, so I plan to be ready."
"Smart move! And we'll be ready too! Until then, pal!" Judai said with a determined look
"All right... Until then it is!"
"Why do I get the feeling there is more tension them than the three of us?" Konami thought to himself "Oh well... I'm in a league of my own anyway..."
