Sorry this took so long! I'm not good with making Mecha Phantom Beast decks, and it was easier to make Sage Mode and Magic chapters over small periods of time.
This is my first fully scripted duel. Please tell me how well it goes!
I got info on my mission! This September, I'm leaving on a 12 week 'test mission' late September. If I do well enough during said test, it'll extend to a full 2 year mission. My current area is about 2 days drive from my home.
In the Slifer Red dorm, Syrus was depressed. His big bro Jaden was still missing, and his real brother Zane was dwindling ever since his match against Aster Phoenix. "I can't believe Zane lost nine times in a row!" Syrus mourned.
"Wipe those tears soldier!" Hassleberry commanded. "That ain't no way to feel for your brother!"
"He's right," Naruto consoled him. "You're his brother. You should root for him all the way!"
"Besides," Daniel added in, "any duel now, he'll rebound and remind everyone of his might!"
"Thanks guys," Syrus said. He then folded up the magazine he was reading. "Hey, want to help me?"
"Sure pipsqueak!" Hassleberry volunteered.
"How?" Naruto asked.
"Well... I want to get rid of these. I don't want to read about him losing anymore. Can you help?"
"Sure!" Daniel said. "It'll be easy, taking them all to the trash!"
"I thought we were taking them to the trash bin, or even the dumpster..." Daniel moaned, the job finally done. He, Hassleberry, Naruto, and Syrus were waking back from the woods to their dorm.
"I didn't want to get rid of them forever," Syrus revealed. "I just wanted to preserve them until he starts winning again."
"So you put them in an open hole in the forest?" Naruto asked.
"Sure. I didn't want to bury or ruin them. Besides, nobody's going to find them."
"I doubt that..." Daniel mused.
"Naruto! Is that you?" A voice called from the dorms.
"... Mom?" Naruto almost whispered, breaking into a run. Sure enough, in front of the dorm, was Kushina and Minato. "Mom! Dad!" Naruto cried, giving them a flying tackle turned hug.
"It's been too long Naruto! I missed you!" Kushina cried.
"Moooom! It's only been a month!" Naruto wailed, now trying to get out of her crushing grip.
"And there's our star, Daniel!" Minato said, turning to Daniel, arms out for a hug.
"Thanks Minato! I didn't expect you two to be here so ear..." Daniel said while approaching him, before being knocked silly by a right hook.
"THAT'S FOR CALLING ME BOSS LADY!" Kushina yelled at him, fist extended and hair flowing in a nonexistent wind. "I'm not that old yet!"
"Now now, the reunion can come later," a new voice spoke up.
Behind Naruto's parents were Crowler and Bonaparte. "Oui Oui!" Bonaparte agreed. "You two must first do an Instructor's duel, before you can be Den Parents."
"Wait, there's a Den Mother?" Syrus asked on the way to the arena. "I thought there was a Head Professor."
"Usually yes," Daniel revealed. "The Den Mother rarely gets the job of Head Professor instead of the Den Father. She does, however, care for the girls in her dorm at the very least. Did you really think they'd let a male into female dorms?"
"Well... no," Syrus stuttered.
"The Instructor duel is about to begin," the MC announced. "This will be a tag duel. One team is Chancellor Crowler and Vice-Chancellor Bonaparte, who will duel Minato and Kushina. No player can attack their first turn. Both teams have a combined 8000 life points, and there is one side of the field. However, each player's graves, hands, decks, and extra decks are treated as individual, separate parts of the field. Let the tag duel begin!"
Tag Duel!
Tag Pair 1:
Crowler: LP: 8000, H 5, S/T 0/0, F 0, M 0/0
Minato: LP 8000, H 5, S/T 0/0, F 0, M 0/0
"If you don't mind," Crowler started off, "the Chancellor shall go first." He then surveyed his hand. "I'll set a monster and two cards. Your move."
"What do you think he's doing?" Syrus asked.
"Yeah, Crowler's deck is about the powerful Ancient Gears," Hassleberry agreed. "That monster's in the barracks, and can't use his attack."
"I don't know for sure," Daniel answered, "but Minato did give him one of the new small archetypes, as well as a whole archetype for Bonaparte. Maybe this set monster is from said cards."
"And speaking of Minato, got any intel on him and his compatriot?" Hassleberry pushed for info.
"He uses a Ninja and Ninjitsu deck. It's a very interesting and semi-defined archetype with some powerful cards. Kushina, also known as the Red-Hot Habanero, uses the Battlin' Boxers. Like her, they're Fire attribute and pack a wallop," Daniel revealed, rubbing his still sore cheek.
"My turn then, draw!" Minato began. "I summon Upstart Golden Ninja and activate his effect! By discarding the trap card Skill Successor, I can special summon a Ninja from my deck. I choose Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo! Since he was special summoned, he can add a 'Ninja' monster to my hand. I choose Masked Ninja Ebisu. I'll now overlay my two monsters. XYZ summon Blade Armor Ninja!" (Atk 2200). "I activate two Continuous Spells The A. Forces. For each Warrior or Spellcaster on my side of the field, all Warriors gain 200 Attack points for each of this spell!" (2200 +400*1 = 2600) "I end my turn."
Tag Pair 2:
Bonaparte: LP 8000, Hand 5, S/T 0/0, F 0, M 0/0
Kushina: LP 8000, Hand 5, S/T 0/0, F 0, M 0/0
"Mon tour, draw!" Bonaparte began.
"Wait a second Bonaparte!" Crowler interrupted. "I activate the Continuous Trap Ultimate Offering! With this trap, we can pay 500 life points to summon another monster, even during the battle phase."
"Tre bien!" Bonaparte thanked him. "I summon Mecha Phantom Beast Blue Impala. I'll now Synchro Summon."
"Sam Hill! Hassleberry cried out. "How's he going to do it? Impalase is the only monster on his field!"
"Blue Impala, as well as Eccentric Boy, can use monsters in your hand," Daniel revealed.
"I'll send my level three Blue Impala on the field, and the level four Mecha Phantom Beast Coltwing in my hand, to summon Mecha Phantom Beast Concoruda." (2400). "I'll now use Crowler's Ultimate Offering. I'll pay 1000 Life points to summon two Mecha Phantom Beasts Tetherwolf. Their first effect summons out two Mecha Phantom Beast Tokens, in defense mode." (0). "Their second effect increases their levels equal to the total levels of Mecha Phantom Beast Tokens." (Lvl 4 + 3 + 3 = 10). "I'll tribute one token to increase one Tetherwolf's attack by 800." (Lvl 10 - 3 = 7). "I now XYZ summon using my two level 7 Tetherwolf's. Apparaitre, Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack!" (Atk 2600). "Now, as long as Concoruda is out, my tokens can't be destroyed at all! And as long as a token's out, Dracossack, can't be destroyed at all! I activate Dracossack's effect. I don't want you to get more attack, so I'll tribute a token to destroy one of your The A. Forces." (2600-200 = 2400). "I now detatch an overlay unit from Dracossack to summon back 2 Mecha Phantom Beast Tokens, in defense mode." (0) "I set one card, and end my turn."
"This is bad," Syrus worried.
"No kiddin', two invincible monsters!" Hassleberry exclaimed.
"But Concoruda's wide open!" Naruto figured out. "Mom will find a way to destroy it, believe it!"
"My turn, draw!" Kushina cried. Looking over her hand, she smirked. "I activate Painful Choice. I choose five monsters. Four will go to the grave, and one to my hand. Choose as you will, Bonaparte."
Bonaparte carefully looked over the cards she was offering. There was one Battlin' Boxer Switchitter, two Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw, and two Battlin' Boxer Counterpunch. Seeing their effects, he made his choice. "I choose Glassjaw!"
"Then I get the effect of the one sent to my grave!" Kushina revealed. "I can add Switchitter to my hand as well! I'll summon him, and use his effect to bring out the Glassjaw in my grave. Now, by skipping my Battle Phase, I can Special Summon Battlin' Boxer Sparrer. I now XYZ summon!"
"Good maneuvering!" Hassleberry praised. "She's not allowed to attack this turn anyway!"
"I'll use my three level four monsters to bring out Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus. But he won't be out for long. I play the spell card Rank-Up Magic Barian's Force. By using the Rank 4 Star Cestus, I can bring out a Rank 5 monster!"
"Rank 5?!" Daniel exclaimed.
"You didn't know about this?" Naruto asked, surprised.
"Not at all. This must be a new idea. Ranking up monsters. I wonder how many cards like that are already planned."
"Yeah..." Naruto mused. "Will they do the same thing to Synchros? I'd like to see a more powerful version of Red Dragon Archfiend!"
"You and me both!" Daniel agreed.
"Come on out, Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus! Thanks to the second ability of Barian's Force, he steals an overlay unit from your Dracossack!" (2800 + 200*2 = 3200) (BAN 2400 + 200 = 2600) "I now activate his second effect! If he has Star Cestus equipped, he gets this effect. By removing the equipped Switchitter, he can destroy a monster my opponent controls, then deal damage equal to half his attack! I choose your Concoruda!"
"I told you she could do it!" Naruto cheered.
"Sorry, mademoiselle, but I have a trap. Safe Zone! It protects Concoruda from your effect destruction, as well as battle destruction!"
"Darn it!" Kushina swore. "I'll play a second The A. Forces! This stacks our attack gain!" (C105 2800 + 400 * 2 = 3600) (BAN 2200 + 400*2 = 3000). "I'll set two cards, your turn."
Tag Pair 1:
Crowler: LP 7000, Hand 3, S/T 'Ultimate Offering'/1, F 0, Monsters 0/1
Minato: LP 8000, Hand 3, S/T 'The A. Forces (2 Warriors)'/0, Monsters 'Blade Armor Ninja (2OV)'/0
"I guess it's my turn again," Crowler boasted. "First, I'll flip summon Geargiarmor. His flip effect lets me search out a Geargia monster in my deck. I choose Geargiaccelerator. Geargiaccelerator special summons itself."
"So that's why he put it into his barracks!" Hassleberry said.
"Now can can XYZ summon too!" Naruto said.
"Or even worse..." Daniel realized.
"I'll tribute my two monsters to summon Ancient Gear Golem!" (3000) "Geargiaccelerator's effect returns Geargiarmor to my hand. Battle, attack Kushina's Comet Cestus!"
"Why would he do that?" Syrus asked.
"I play my spell card Limiter Removal. It double's only Ancient Gear Golem's attack, since I don't control Bonaparte's monsters." (3000 *2 = 6000) "Your XYZ won't be destroying anyone by its effect!"
"I activate the effect of one Battlin' Boxer Counterpunch in my grave. It increases my Comet Cestus' atk by 1000." (3600 + 1000 = 4600)
"But it's not enough to save you!" Crowler said with glee, as Kushina lost her team 1400 LP.
"Are you alright Kushina?" Minato asked, worried for his tag partner.
"I'm fine. I've taken more than that before. Beat them up for me!"
"He won't be doing that yet. I pay 500 LP to set a monster. I'll set two cards, and end my turn. Since Limiter Removal affected Ancient Gear Golem, it's now destroyed. It's your move."
"My turn!" Minato cried, "DRAW!" He then smiles. "I got just the card I wanted! I summon Masked Ninja Ebisu. I now play Double Summon. This lets me Normal Summon an extra time this turn. I choose to summon Goe Goe the Gallant Ninja!" (BAN 2200 + 400*3 = 3400) (MNE 1200 + 400*3 = 2400) (GGGN 1500 + 400*3 = 2700)
"My my! That's a lot of powerful monsters!" Crowler worried. Since he had only one monster out, he was a likely choice for the attack target.
"I activate the effect of Ebisu. Since I have three Ninjas on the field, I can return three of your spells and traps to your hands and make Goe Goe able to attack directly! I choose Safe Zone, Ultimate Offering, and your set trap on the left!"
Now Crowler was worried. He could easily guess what was coming, and how many points of damage he'd take. "I play my spell card Emergency Provisions! By sending my Ultimate Offering to the grave, we gain 1000 LP."
"I now activate Blade Armor Ninja's effect! By detatching an overlay unit, Goe Goe may attack twice! Battle time!"
"Wait wait!" Crowler shrieked. "I have a trap! Magical Hats! I can mix my set monster with two spells or traps in my deck as set monsters. And I choose two Geartowns." Crowler then smirked. "Of course, when Geartown's destroyed, I can summon out a powerful Ancient Gear Monster."
"Good thing you weren't my target!" Minato revealed.
"Wha! Moi?" Bonaparte asked, a little frantic.
"Yes you! Blade Armor Ninja, attack his Concoruda!" Without his Safe Zone, Concoruda was destroyed and Bonaparte took 1000 damage. "Kushina, got anything to help me?"
"Yes I do! Trap activate, XYZ Reborn. I can summon an XYZ from my grave and attach this trap as an overlay unit. I chose Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus." (N105 2500 + 400*4 = 4100) (BAN 2200 + 400*4 = 3800) (MNE 1200 + 400*4 = 2800) (GGGN 1500 + 400*4 = 3100)
"Ebisu, attack his Dracossack!"
"But why?" Bonaparte asked. "It can't be destroyed."
"But you still take damage," Minato reminded him, dealing a further hundred damage to the duo. "Now for Goe Goe's turn. First direct attack! Strike Bonaparte!"
"Aie!" Bonaparte yelled as he got whacked by Goe Goe's staff. Bonaparte was out cold.
"You're turn Crowler!"
"Nice try Mr. Uzumaki," Crowler spoke up, "but we'll still have 200 life points left. It was a nice effort."
"I activate the Skill Successor in my grave!" Minato announced. "By banishing it, Goe Goe gains 800 attack!"
"But that means..." Crowler said, startled.
"Game over!" Minato announced as Goe Goe attacked the Chancellor. Said attack made Crowler fall onto Bonaparte, also KO'd.
Minato and Kushina win!
"I knew you can do it!" Naruto shouted, embracing his parents.
"I knew we'd make it," Minato replied.
"Now we get to spend our time with our son Naruto and Sakura," Kushina announced gleefully. But this cheer made everyone look down, disheartened. "... Did something happen?"
"Let's get back to the Slifer Red Dorm first," Daniel said, leading the way. "We'll talk there."
My first fully scripted duel! How did I do?
Congrats to Ryan L. Spradling for guessing half the surprise for this chap. But don't expect the parents to duel as much as the students.
