Chapter Ten: Cyber Heroes VS Elemental Heroes
"OK Jaden. I'll show you the power of my Net Navi deck! I summon Net Navi Roll (DEF: 2000) in defense mode," Jake declared, summoning a green-eyed human creature to the field in a crouching position. It wore a pink bodysuit and helmet. The helmet had two knobs in the front with two antennae extending backwards in each one.
"I'm going to now activate the ability of Net Navi Roll. When I end my turn, I receive 500 life points," Jake said (LP: 4000 + 500). Jaden drew a card and smirked.
"That's a sweet ability Jake, but I have something just as strong! I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman (ATK: 800) in attack mode and since he's the only card I have on the field, I get to draw two more cards from my deck," Jaden explained as his water monster appeared on the field along with two more cards from his deck. Jaden grinned at his draw.
"If it isn't my favorite furry friend," Jaden said to his Winged Kuriboh card. He could hear his duel spirit cry out as Jaden reached for another of his cards.
"Next I'll throw down a facedown card and end my turn," Jaden finished as he slotted in the card. Jake drew a card from his deck and grinned.
"That pathetic creature of yours is weak and that facedown card you played is useless since I'm activating an equip spell card called Roll Arrow!" Jake explained as Roll's left hand turned into a large pink crossbow, "My spell increases Roll's attack and defense by 500 plus since Roll is the one equipped with it, I can destroy one facedown spell card on the field, so say goodbye to your facedown!" True to his word, Roll loaded a pink energy arrow into her bow and fired at Jaden's trap, shattering it.
"And by the way, I'm also summoning another Net Navi known as Net Navi Megaman (ATK: 1500) in attack mode," Jake continued as a monster similar to Roll appeared on the field. This monster however wore a blue bodysuit, blue helmet and its right hand was replaced with an arm cannon.
"Now go Megaman! Attack Bubbleman with your mega buster!" Jake commanded as Jaden's monster found itself at the receiving end of a burst of purple energy. The attack shattered him and reduced Jaden's life points to 3300.
"Lastly, I'll throw down a facedown card and activate Roll's ability, giving my life points a boost (LP: 4500 + 500)," Jake finished as his facedown emerged on the field behind Megaman.
"Sweet moves, but still…" Jaden mumbled as he drew, "I got one better! I activate the spell card Polymerization! I'll use it to fuse together Elemental Hero Sparkman and Elemental Hero Clayman!" Jaden held his three cards high as the arena became covered in dark clouds. A bolt of lightning struck the field in front of Jaden as a giant monster in gold and purple armor appeared on the field.
"Say hello to Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (ATK: 2400) and thanks to his super power, he can destroy one monster on the field who's original attack points are less than his own so say goodbye to Roll!" Jaden explained as Roll was hit by a thunderbolt and was destroyed, "And you want to know the best part? Since that was just his special ability, I can attack your Megaman too! But first, I'll summon Elemental Hero Wildheart (ATK: 1500) in attack mode!" Jaden's new monster wore a loincloth and a large broadsword on his back. His tanned skin, and face markings made him appear to be a fierce monster.
"By the way, Wildheart has the ability to resist all trap cards so go Thunder Giant! Attack Megaman with bolting thunder!" Jaden commanded as his monster fired a ball of lightning at Megaman.
"A little quick aren't we? I activate the trap card, BusterPack.Exe! This trap card activates when you attack a Navi monster. My monster now switches to defense mode and gains 700 attack and defense points," Jake warned as his monster crouched down to take the blow.
"Even so, your monster's history so Wildheart can attack you with his wild slash attack!" Jaden countered as Wildheart drew his sword and struck Jake, reducing his life points to 3500. Staggered from Wildheart's attack, Jake shook his head as he drew a card.
"You'll pay for that and with the card I just drew, you'll pay with the rest of your life points!" Jake warned as he held up the card he drew.
"Could he have drawn the card I think he drew?" Bastion gasped.
"I activate the field spell card Dimensional Area!" Jake declared as four blue columns emerged from the ground around the stadium. They gave off a white glow as a dome of rainbow-colored energy encircled the two duelists. The floor around them also changed to match the barrier.
"What does this do?" Jaden demanded. Jake grinned as he held up a card.
"Thanks to my spell, I no longer need to tribute to summon powerful Net Navis to the field and I'll start with one of my favorites! I summon Wood Shield Style Megaman (ATK: 1500 / DEF: 2500) in defense mode!" Jake shouted as a green colored version of Megaman appeared on the field. The only other difference was that instead of his buster, he had a large green shield.
"Wood Shield Style?"
"That's right. Megaman has four elemental versions of himself that can be summoned whenever the original is in the graveyard. By the way, this version has the ability to attack even while in defense mode," Jake replied.
"Yeah, but he can't beat either of my monsters," Jaden pointed out.
"That's true unless of course you have a spell card to change that. I activate the spell card Dash Condor!" A green flying creature emerged from the dome and landed next to Megaman. He hopped on and took to the skies.
"Thanks to the effect of his new ride, he can cut his attack points in half and strike you directly which is what I'll do right now! Megaman! Attack Jaden with spice buster!" Jake commanded, pointing at his intended target. Megaman retracted his shield and pointed his buster at Jaden, firing a cloud of spores that not only put Jaden into a fit of coughing, but also reduced his life points to 2550.
"I think that's enough damage for now," Jake sighed as he ended his turn.
"I've got to past his shield, but how?" Jaden asked himself as he drew a card.
"This'll help. I activate the spell card De-Fusion! It'll split my Thunder Giant back into Clayman and Sparkman!" Jaden began as his two monsters remerged onto the field, "Now I'll play my second Polymerization card and fuse together the Elemental Hero Clayman with the Elemental Hero Burstinatrix in my hand to create the Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster (ATK: 2000 / DEF: 2500)!" A female monster wearing a red bodysuit with blue hair appeared on the field and disappeared into a vortex with Clayman before reappearing wearing his armor. On her left arm was a red shield and her right hand was a multi-barrel missile launcher.
"I put her in defense mode and thanks to her super power, I can cut my monster's attack points in half and strike you directly so go Rampart Blaster! Attack Jake's life points with rampart barrage!" Jaden's new monster unleashed a payload of missiles that exploded around Jake as he lost another 1000 life points.
"What do you think of that move? I turned your own strategy against you!" Jaden asked as Jake drew a card.
"I'm not impressed. In fact, don't count on Rampart Blaster to stay on the field! I use the magic of my Dimensional Area to summon Aqua Custom Style Megaman (ATK: 3000) in attack mode!" Jake's new monster also strongly resembled Megaman except he wore light blue armor and the crests on his helmet were glowing brightly.
"Hold on!" Bastion intervened, "In order to summon Aqua Custom Style, you must discard your entire hand to the graveyard!" Jake turned to the spectator.
"I know that, I was just about to mention that," Jake countered as he discarded his two remaining cards, "Anyhow, my Aqua Custom Style Megaman has more attack points than any of your monsters so allow me to clear the field of your Rampart Blaster! Aqua Custom Style! Attack Jaden's defense monster with hyper burst!" Instead of its standard buster, Aqua Custom's cannon resembled a multi-turret chain gun that fired a devastating beam at Rampart Blaster, destroying it.
"And since Aqua Custom destroyed a monster in defense mode, his ability activates, which allow me to play a special fusion monster from my fusion deck. Say hello to Program Advance: Double Hero (ATK: 0 / DEF: 0)!" Jake continued, summoning Megaman and a Navi monster in red armor whose helmet bore a black visor, shielding its eyes. A crimson sword replaced its right hand.
"A Program Advance monster?" Jaden wondered.
"I'm not surprised you don't know about my fusion monster. A Program Advance fusion monster can only be summoned by the effect of a style change monster or by playing a certain three-card combo. This Program Advance has a super power too. To make up for its non-existent attack and defense points, I can sacrifice this monster to summon any Navis in my graveyard so long as their attack points are less than 2000," Jake explained as his two Navis vanished, "And since I have three that meet the requirement, I'll summon them all. Rise from the graveyard, Roll (ATK: 500), Megaman (ATK: 1500) and Protoman (ATK: 1800)!" To Jaden's surprise, all three of the Navis returned, including a crimson one that matched the Double Hero Program Advance.
"Hold on! How did your Protoman card get in the graveyard?" Jaden asked.
"I sent it to the graveyard when I summoned Aqua Custom Style but enough about that. Thanks to the effect of Double Hero, you get to summon the same number of monsters I did from the graveyard too. So pick carefully," Jake added. Jaden however was slightly worried.
"In that case, I summon Elemental Heroes Burstinatrix (ATK: 1200), Clayman (ATK: 800) and Bubbleman (ATK: 800)," Jaden declared, his three heroes returning.
"What's wrong? Think I'm going to destroy them. Don't worry. Double Hero won't let me attack with my new Navis this turn but I still have my Wood Shield Style Megaman on the field! I won't have him attack you directly though so I'm gonna make him destroy that Clayman with seed buster!" Jake shouted as his monster unloaded a payload of explosive seeds at Jaden's stone monster, destroying it and 700 of Jaden's life points.
"And with that attack, I use Roll's life point restoring effect (LP: 2500 + 500) and end my turn," Jake finished, grinning broadly.
Oh man, that was rough. I don't have anything that can hold off his Navis and the only card in my hand is you Winged Kuriboh, Jaden thought to his friend, But don't worry, we still got some strong creatures on the field. Jaden drew a card and grinned.
"I play the spell card Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two new cards from my deck," Jaden said, holding up his new card. He drew two more cards and frowned.
"Get anything useful?" Jake asked.
"I switch my remaining Elemental Heroes to defense mode and end my turn," Jaden growled as all of his monsters crouched down in defense.
"Heh heh, thought so," Jake grinned as he drew a card, "Now, since two turns have passed since I played my Dimensional Area field spell, I'm required to make a sacrifice to keep it active. So I offer my Navi Protoman card!" His monster vanished into the dome of energy as it briefly glowed for a moment then died down to its original shade of rainbow colors.
"Now on to business. I first switch Roll to defense mode (DEF: 2000) then I'll use the magic of Card of Sanctity!" Jake continued, slotting in his spell card, "This magic card allows both of us to draw until we each hold six cards in our hands." Both duelists quickly drew their cards and looked over their new hands when Jake pulled a card from his new hand.
"OK Jaden, before I attack I shall summon another Net Navi and he's the monster who's gonna bring you down! Say hello to Heat Guts Style Megaman (ATK: 2000)!" Jake declared as a red armored version of Megaman appeared on the field. For its weapon, its right fist was three times as big as normal.
"Now I'll enter my battle phase and activate Net Navi Megaman's power!" To Jaden's surprise, Megaman's attack points rose to 2000.
"Since the original Megaman didn't attack last turn, he gains 500 attack points, and speaking of attack points, my Heat Guts Style Megaman gains 300 attack points for each battle he wins so go Heat Guts! Attack Wildheart with machine gun punch!" Jake commanded. Jaden braced himself as Heat Guts charged and let loose a flurry of fiery punches that destroyed Wildheart.
"And now Megaman! Use your charged shot on Sparkman!" Jake continued as his original Navi fired an even bigger blast of plasma energy at Sparkman and wiped him out.
"Next, I'll wipe out Bubbleman with my Aqua Custom Style Megaman! Use hyper burst!" With another blast of azure energy, Bubbleman was destroyed.
"Finally, I'll use my Wood Shield Style and Dash Condor combo to attack your life points directly!" Jaden gasped as another group of spore-releasing seeds hit him and reduced his life points to 1100.
"I think that's enough damage for now. I'll use Roll's ability to raise my life points (LP: 3000 + 500) and then throw down two facedown cards to end my turn," Jake sighed as he looked at his nearly devastated opponent. Jaden drew his card and looked at his hand.
"Jaden! Don't give up!" Bastion shouted from his seat.
"Who's giving up? I'm having too much fun out here to give up now!" Jaden grinned as he reached for his hand, "and this duel is about to get a lot more interesting! I'll play the third and final Polymerization card in my hand to fuse together the Elemental Hero Burstinatrix on the field with the Elemental Hero Avian in my hand to summon everyone's favorite hero, the Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (ATK: 2100)!" Jaden held up his two cards as Burstinatrix and a winged monster whose entire body was wrought in white and green feathers merged together to summon a black monster that had green and red emblems on its body. On its left side was a white wing and its right hand was a fierce beast-like mouth. Its spiked tail and sharp-toed feet made it appear as a fearsome foe.
"If I recall right, this is the monster that beat Dr. Crowler but it's still no match for any of my Navis you Slifer slacker!" Jake taunted. Jaden grinned in response.
"Whoever said I was attacking with my Wingman? I'm playing the spell card Special Hurricane!" Jaden said as he played his card, "Now by discarding a card from my hand to the graveyard, I can destroy all specially summoned monsters on the field." Jake gasped in shock as a hurricane began to brew around the field.
"And that means all but Wood Shield Style are removed from the field!" Jaden declared as the winds intensified, destroying all of Jake's monsters, save for Wood Shield Style.
"All of my best cards are gone!" Jake gasped as Jaden held another card in his hand.
"And I'm not done yet! I activate the spell card Element Portal! It allows me to double the effect of a spell card I play this turn as long as I have a fusion Elemental Hero on the field and Wingman qualifies. So now I'll use my portal to activate Mystical Space Typhoon which will destroy your Dash Condor and your Dimensional Area field spell!" True to Jaden's words, two mini typhoons emerged from behind his monster as they headed for the two respective spells.
"Hold on! I reveal my trap card Poltergeist! By switching my Wood Shield Style to attack mode, I can destroy all spells and traps on the field! Then for each card destroyed, I regain 800 life points!" Jake countered as the winds were neutralized and all of their spells were destroyed. Jake then began to give off a white aura as his life points doubled (LP: 3000 + 3000).
"You do realize what you've done right? You left your Wood Shield Style defenseless. So now I'll destroy your final defense with my Wingman! Attack with inferno rage!" Jaden commanded. Its entire body set aflame, Wingman launched a mighty burst of flame from its hand-like mouth, scorching Wood Shield Style Megaman. As the flames died down, Jaden saw that Wood Shield Style was still on the field, its shield destroyed and Jake's life points remained untouched.
"What happened? Why didn't Wingman's attack work?" Jaden wondered.
"It's thanks to the final effect of Wood Shield Style. You can't destroy my life points as long as he's by himself. And since Wingman's super power only works when he destroys a monster, I don't take any damage," Jake explained as Wood Shield Style collapsed and vanished.
"Hey! My Wood Shield Style! What happened?" Jake shouted.
"I guess you forgot about your monster's weak point. If it is attacked by a Fire-attribute or Pyro-type monster, it's destroyed, regardless of attack or defense points and speaking of which, since your monster was destroyed, Wingman will now damage you for equal to your monster's attack points!" Jaden explained as Wingman fired a stream of flames at Jake that cut his life points down (LP: 6000 – 1500 - 600).
"Now I'll end my turn!" Jaden smirked as he stared at Jake's empty field. Echoing in his ears was the happy cries of Winged Kuriboh.
I know. One more good attack with my Wingman and it's all over for Jake. Jaden mentally told his friend. Jake drew a card and grinned, then began to laugh.
"You fool! You can't beat me! I've just drawn the card that will ensure your defeat! I play Monster Reborn to resurrect my Net Navi Megaman (ATK: 1500)," Jake began, summoning his Navi again.
"This guy is starting to wear out his welcome," Jaden commented.
"Next, I'll activate the spell card Soul Synchronizer! I can sacrifice Megaman to summon a mighty creature!" Jake continued as Megaman vanished. To Jaden's surprise, an explosion of white light covered the field, blinding the duelists and spectators. When the light faded, everyone gasped at Jake. He was now garbed in Megaman's body suit and helmet. His left arm still bore his duel disk. The crests on his chest and helmet were glowing brightly as his right hand morphed into his buster.
"What the?" Jaden gasped as a mouth guard slammed over Jake's mouth.
"I've become one with my Net Navi! Just call me Cross Fusion Megaman (ATK: 3000 + 500)," Jake shouted as his attack points rose and his life points dropped (LP: 3900 – 500), "Thanks to the effect of my Soul Synchronizer, I can not only combine myself with my monsters, I can also transfer up to a 1000 life points to my monster's attack points. So I just gave up 500 points to finish off your Wingman and you!" Jake raised his buster into the air as an energy blade emerged. Jaden tensed as Jake charged and slashed his Wingman, destroying it and causing a shockwave wiping out the remainder of his life points.
"You lose, you Slifer slacker!" Jake grinned as the holograms faded as Jaden fell to the ground, "Hey you two! Get him out of here!" Jake called, isolating two of the security guards in the room. They picked up Jaden and tossed him out of the Ra dueling field. Bastion prepared to follow when several of his older classmates blocked his way.
"Out of my way," Bastion commanded but two of the students grabbed him and threw him onto the dueling field.
"OK Bastion. It's your turn to duel now," Jake demanded as his friends handed him a duel disk.
Just a little longer... Then you'll be mine Lynn!
