Chapter 10: The wrath of Sins
Inside the room of David and Edgars, Edgar was completely dumbfounded as he looked at David reading a text book. "Dude, it is so freaken obvious, your second in command at Duel City has a crush on you."
David's eyes would scan the lines, not even acknowledging Edgar. "How did the conversation go from how Union cards work to my personal life?"
Edgar had a sweat drop appear on his face then shook it off. "That's beside the point, haven't you noticed?"
"What you are saying is completely observed, we are gang members and nothing more," David replied in a monotone voice, still scanning the lines of his book.
"Dude, she blushes every time you compliment her. If you ask me you two would probably make a nice couple."
David exhaled. "Get back to studying already."
Edgar fell back on his bed. "You're no fun you know that."
Just then, David's cell phone started to ring, he answered. "Yes?"
"This is Guard 23, the Vlad student Bloodlust is requesting a moment to speak with you. How should he be dealt with?"
"I have wanted to chat with him as well, send him up and treat him as if he was a guest," David replied.
"It will be done my Chief," the guard replied, hanging up.
"The Gravekeeper's are growing," Edgar commented.
Then, their dorm room door opened and Bloodlust approached the leader of the Gravekeeper's, bowing. "It is an honor to meet someone of your power and rank, Chief David, Leader of the Gravekeeper's Gang of Duel City," Bloodlust said in a smug tone.
"And I thought a vampire needed to be invited inside before he could walk into a room," David replied with a grin on his face.
Bloodlust stood back up, chuckling to reveal the fangs in his mouth. "So, you know my title. Your gang is everything I heard it was."
"Glad to hear that," David commented, "it wasn't hard to discover your Porphyria, needing a steady flow of blood to keep your body from shriveling up. If you want something to drink, check out the fridge."
Bloodlust was a bit curious, so he walked over to their small fridge and opened it, seeing a bag full of red liquid. "AB negative, you've known I was coming," he pulled out the bag and begun to drink it, which caused Edgar to shiver, "because this is my favorite."
"Well my gang has noticed that you have had your eye on Miss. Alexis Rhodes, and something tells me that you have wanted to chat with me because of her," David replied.
Bloodlust nodded. "Yes, it has come to my knowledge that your gang is protecting her at the moment, even though she isn't apart of your gang. Now, why is that?"
"Because I gave her a month to decide if she wants to be a high ranking gang member; it is up to her. So if she decides to become a member of my gang, my gang members will do what ever they can to protect her; but if she choices not to join, she is all yours. Now until then, please postpone your urges to have her as a snack."
Bloodlust finished the bag. "If the Gravekeeper's are protecting her, I wouldn't think of it. I'm not suicidal."
"Well, since we have come to an understanding, you might want to get ready tomorrow; because you have a match against Nicole Smalls."
Bloodlust threw the empty bag into the trash bin. "Thanks for the info; I will put it to good use."
He then left the room. As soon as the door closed behind the dark duelist, Edgar said. "I'm glad I'm the Dragon Gang leader, nothing but getting "protection" money and beating want-a-be duelist. It's just so less complicated."
The next day came as Jaden finally woke up in his hospital bed, rubbing his hair and sees himself in the mirror, now having a marker mustache and monocle lens. "Why do I look like Captain Crunch?"
"It's good to see you're finally awake," Jaden looked over to see the female doctor smiling at him, "I was starting to worry."
"What time is it?" Jaden asked.
"Almost three in the afternoon; you have been asleep for about two days. What timing to get up today," she replied, writing down on the clipboard in her arm.
He rubbed his head. "Why is that?"
"Because it five minutes, the fourth tournament match is going to start; you better get ready if you want to catch it."
He still felt a bit groggy but gathered enough energy to slip his shoes back on. "Thanks," he replied, but not with as much energy as his usual self.
He headed out the door and down the halls to the stadium; ever since he woke up he hasn't felt like his usual carefree energetic self. Nothing but what David said swarmed his thoughts; saying how he must have cheated his way in, that there was no way he could have gotten in on his skill level. He walked into the stadium, but before he could look for his friends, the lights already dimmed and the lights appeared on Dr. Crowler.
"Welcome all to the fourth match of the first round to the Ultimate School Duel. Let's hear it for the competitors: on my left, all the way from Vlad Duel Academy, Bloodlust."
The dark duelist walked out from the shadows into the light, getting applause from some of the audience and sending chills to the others.
"And on my right, the student from Klein Duel Academy, Nicole Smalls," he announced as the girl appeared from the shadows, waving to the crowd and hearing the applause.
Dr. Crowler faced the two students. "Now you both know the rules, exchange decks and shuffle."
The two complied, changing decks and shuffling them in their own way; afterwards, handing them back to each other and walking to their spots. "And, begin!"
"Let's Duel!" they both called out.
Nicole drew a card. "I play the spell card, Summoning of Light!" she played and it appeared on the field, "now I put one 4 star monster from my hand to the graveyard to special summon a level 4 light monster to the field, and I play, Green Fairy in attack mode."
Then on the field, a fairy in a green dress appeared with 1200 attack points. "Now I play the magic card, Separate Colors, which allows me to sacrifice my Green Fairy to summon Blue Fairy and Yellow Fairy in attack mode."
Then on the field, the Green Fairy was sacrificed to summon Yellow Fairy and Blue Fairy in its place. "Now, I sacrifice both of my fairies to summon, Wingweaver in attack mode."
Then in the two's place, a human size fairy with six wings appeared; causing all of the audience to be in awed by its beauty and 2750 attack points. "With that, I end my turn."
Bloodlust smirked. "Nicely played, getting a monster with such high attack points on the first move. Too bad, it will all be for a disappointment."
"Just make your turn already," Nicole snapped back.
He chuckled. "If that is what you want," he drew and looked at his hand. "The first card I play is the spell card, 7 Sins: Sloth," he played, "now this card, not only takes 1000 life points from you, but gives them to me."
She then squirms from her life points dropping to 3000 and his raising to 5000. "Now my next trick, I play the spell card, 7 Sins: Wrath. This card let's one of my monsters attack your life points directly, but since I don't have a monster, it looks as if this card is automatically destroyed."
The spell card shattered and everyone watching was confused, except for his group. "He is up to his old tricks," TNT commented.
"Next I play the spell card, 7 Sins: Sloth. This card forces your monster to switch into defense and cannot be used as a sacrifice for 3 turns."
Nicole grinded her teeth as her fairy switched to 2400 defense. "Oh and now I play the monster, Skull Servant in defense and play the spell card, 7 Sins: Pride. This card allows me to choose one card on the field at raise its attack power by double, and I chose, Wingweaver."
This action once again shocked everyone in the audience; even Nicole was shocked as her monsters attack rose to 5500. "What the heck are you up to?" Nicole yelled.
"You will find out very soon," Bloodlust added. "I now play the last card in my hand, the spell, 7 Sins: Envy. See, I'm a bit envious that you have more cards than I do now, so by paying 200 for ever card in your hand, I'm allowed to draw till I have as many as you."
Then his life points dropped to 4600 as he drew two cards. "Now I play Pot of Greed, drawing two more cards," he then drew two more cards and rose to 3 cards. Now I play the spell card, 7 Sins: Greed. With this card, I'm allowed to look at your hand and pick one of them at the price of 300 life points per cared in your hand, so show me your hand," he says as his life points drops to 4000.
She grinded her teeth, showing a Swords of Revealing light and a Fairy Prism, she automatically knew which one he was going to pick. "I will take, Fairy Prism."
She was shocked once again, wondering what the heck he could be thinking, she threw the card and he caught it. "Well to bad for you, because next turn I will paralyze your side for three turns."
He chuckled. "Sorry, there won't be a next turn, because I play the spell, 7 Sins: Lust. This card forces your monster into attack mode and attack my monster of my choosing, but since Skull Servant is the only monster on my field, destroy it."
Her monster switched back into attack mode, still shocked since her monster was still at 5500. Then it shot a blinding light at his monster, obliterating it which caused the stadium to shake. "Now the side effect of my Pride card kicks in, your monster is automatically destroyed."
She gasped as her Wingweaver exploded before her eyes. "But now, my plan kicks into action. You see all 7 of the 7 Sin spell cards are in my graveyard, this activates their effect, special summoning from my deck my most powerful monster, Lord!"
He played the monster card on his duel disk and the stadium started to shake as the creature formed on the field, a creature bigger than any monster they have ever seen. Formed out of shadows, large arms and legs, and a humongous black skull as the head; this combined with its 4000 attack had the audience speechless. "And if I was still keeping tracked, this was still a battle phase. So my Lord, annialate her!"
The monster looked at her with its large red eyes seen through the skull, she stepped back. The creature raised its arm and swiped at her, causing her life points to drop to zero.
Everyone was shocked, the match was a bit long but it was only one turn. Crowler stood there dumbfounded. "The winner is, Bloodlust of Vlad Duel Academy."
Jaden couldn't believe it; a duelist was able to beat another in one turn. Was David right, was he just lucky all of this time; was he the duelist he thought he was or just a show off that was lucky in a few matches. There he walked out of the room, unaware of Alexis's friend Mindy watching him leave.
She flipped open her cell phone and hit the first one on her speed dial. "My Chief, just like you thought. He is leaving."
"Thank you Spy 1; I will have the Watcher's watch him from now on, so return to looking over Alexis's safety. Make sure she makes the right decision."
"It will be done, my Chief," she replied, turning off her cell.
