As promised, here's the next chapter of Roxas in 5Ds; to celebrate Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics for being 3rd out of the medal tally (with 24 Gold Medals!), I will be putting some English song references instead of Sonic (it's just for this chapter).
The songs that will be mentioned are new singles from Little Boots; she's an amazing electronic artist, I will recommend you listen to her music, especially these two that I will mention in the duel.
Hooray for Team GB and please enjoy and review this chapter!
Chapter 10 – Last Day
The next morning, Yusei was ordered by the Chief to head out to the hall, while Roxas and Yanagi stayed in their cell. Roxas was thinking, 'Does the Chief want Yusei for his mark? Something tells me it could be for that reason...' While Yusei was out, Yanagi was talking to Roxas about his adventures. Once he was finished, Roxas started to talk about his adventures with Sonic and the gang.
Adventures like the time when the city was under attack by a water creature that kept resurrecting itself, no matter how much you attacked it. Then the creature kept feeding on Chaos Emeralds, making it stronger than ever and it all ended for the creature when Sonic turned Super Sonic and defeated Perfect Chaos. Then there was that other time when Sonic was captured by the Military, but they were mistaken for a look-alike of himself named Shadow, the black hedgehog in Roxas' deck.
Roxas also talked about the time when aliens called the Black Arms invaded Westopolis and Shadow battling Black Doom. There was another time when it was The Festival of the Sun and Eggman tried to kidnap Princess Elise, but was failed by Sonic and he was being attacked by a silver hedgehog named Silver, because Silver thought he was the cause for awakening the Fire God, Iblis (calling Sonic the 'Iblis Trigger').
Then there was the adventures that Roxas had recently, it was time when Eggman sapped the Chaos Energy out of Super Sonic to awaken Dark Gaia and the dark energy that was in the Emeralds, turning Sonic into a werehog. Then, there was the time when Sonic saved some aliens named Wisps from an Interstellar Amusement Park.
Then lastly, the recent adventure Roxas had was when it was Sonic's birthday. A creature named Time Eater took Sonic's friends to different periods of Sonic's history. Sonic and Roxas were in this white world with a colourless Green Hill Zone. Sonic frees Tails (who was frozen with the Green Hill Zone) and Sonic feels like he's been in that place before. Next they go to the next zone which was Chemical Plant Zone and Tails tells Sonic and Roxas that he can never forget the smell of the place. Sonic feels the same way as Tails does and the place gives him déjà vu. Later Sonic sees a smaller and rounder version of himself in the mirror. Sonic hears Eggman's voice and the Reflection Sonic runs towards the voice, realising that there was another Sonic. This was Classic Sonic.
After Classic Sonic was done with Eggman, he meets up with Modern Sonic and Modern Sonic and Roxas couldn't believe that there was two Sonics. Both Sonics team up to find their friends and beat up Time Eater, which was a machine controlled by Classic and Modern Eggman. With the help of their friend's encouragement and the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds, both Sonics defeated the Time Eater with ease.
Yanagi couldn't believe the adventures Roxas had, in fact he was jealous of him. Roxas said with a smile, "Don't be jealous Yanagi, you can have those sort of adventures if you just hang out with me". Suddenly, the door to their cell opened revealing a guard. "Good news, you two are moving cells! I have direct orders from the Chief to move you to the long term cells! Follow me!" Without hesitation, they followed the guard to a different section of the Facility, which was taller and it had more cells.
Tanner came to them and Yusei soon followed. Roxas was relieved that he was okay and from the look of him, Yusei was relieved as well seeing his friends here. Yusei was confused as to why Roxas and Yanagi were here, Yusei asked, "Why are you guys here?" Roxas answered, "A guard lead us here who was ordered by the Chief, he said we were moved here. As for the reason why I don't know, what happened with you and the Chief Yusei?". Yusei answered, "It wasn't the Chief who wanted me, it was Goodwin, he forced me to help him with something and in return, I get a clean record and become a resident of New Domino".
A guard who was standing next to everyone, ordered them to go back to their cells. Everyone returned without hesitation and when Roxas arrived at his cell, he hid his cards in a better place and told Espio to camouflage it at all times. The security in this place was a lot more tighter than his last cell. Roxas had a look outside from the bars and it looked like this place had 200 criminals;. Roxas was alone in his cell.
Meanwhile with Yusei, he entered his new cell and hears a voice. "Oh man... and I was getting used to being on my own. If you don't mind, take the top bunk would ya? I was falling off of that, so I really think that-" But he was interrupted by Yusei climbing up to the top bunk. "No arguments nice! Yusei right?" Yusei's cellmate continued talking, but Yusei wasn't really paying attention to him. He reflects on what has happened on the last few days. 'Was I really able to summon the Crimson Dragon? I mean it came out of nowhere and that mark... could Yanagi be right?'
Flashback
"You must be a Signer, Yusei". Roxas looked at Yanagi and listened carefully to what he was saying and him and Yusei said, "Signer?" Roxas and Yusei looked at each other, but then listened carefully to what Yanagi has to say. "I've heard about them long ago, I thought the whole thing was just a legend, but tales of this story may actually be true!" Everyone then leaned in closer to hear more of the story. "You see long ago there was a tribe, they were brave and they worship a Crimson Dragon and some could even summon the beast, they're called Signers".
Present
'But why me and Roxas? And why now?' Yusei's cellmate came up and said, "The name's Alex and I heard your friend Roxas beat him with a rare deck, that's awesome. Where is he?" Yusei replied, "He's in a different cell and sorry, but can we talk later, I've got a bit of a headache". Alex agreed that he will talk later, Yusei can answer his questions later.
The Next Day
Roxas heard guards outside his cell demanding him to let them enter. Once they did, the Chief entered. "Little birdie told me that you're holding a weapon and that's against the rules". Roxas thought, 'Only Shadow holds weapons... Wait... Does he know about my sword?' Roxas narrowed his eyes at the Cheif. "Well your little birdie is telling you a lie, I don't have any weapons!" The Chief grabbed Roxas' right arm hard and dragged him to the centre walkways of the room. The Cheif started punching in the gut first, then he punched at every part of Roxas' body until his body felt weak. Roxas collapsed on the floor with bruises all over, Yusei noticed this and shouted, "Roxas! Roxas!" Roxas made no reply, he was too weak to move or speak at this moment.
The Chief spoke up to everyone. "I found a deadly weapon on Roxas here and I'm going to fully punish everyone here, so I'm extending your punishments for a year!" All of the inmates think this unfair and start to argue about it. The Chief shouted, "Shut up! The world doesn't need any single one of you Satellites! If anyone here has any complaints speak up!" The Chief started to laugh constantly, until Roxas started to get up ever so slowly. "No... E-everyone... has the... right... to live". Yusei saw Roxas and said with concern, "Don't fight him Roxas! You're too weak!" Roxas shouted back to Yusei with my voice clearing up. "It's a-alright. I'm not going to fight him, I'm going to duel him!" Armstrong laughed at this. "With the way you are, you can't even stand properly. So I'll make you a deal, if you win this duel, I'll forget about all this crime, but if I win-" Roxas interrupted him. "Then no one but me gets put in lock down".
Everyone gasped at this, even Yusei. He didn't think Roxas was like this, especially if he was in pain for the rest of his sentence. Armstrong thought about it and agreed. "We'll duel tomorrow at half past eight, don't be late". Roxas replied, "Don't worry, I'll be there". The guards lead Roxas back to his cell, while Roxas saw Tanner and Yanagi being searched by two guards. They took out a deck of cards from Tanner and a couple of cards from Yanagi. "Look at this Chief, this guy has been hiding cards". Yanagi protested saying, "No you can't take them, they are the only thing I have!" The Chief then ordered his guards to confiscate the cards and take them back to their cell.
When they returned, Roxas was free to see them and he immediately did that. Tanner said, "Why did you do that Roxas? Now you don't have a deck to use. If you were thinking of using mine, Armstrong took mine". Roxas nodded and replied, "I saw it happen with my own eyes and I not gonna let Armstrong get away with this!" Roxas' hands were turned into fists and he tightened them with anger. "Don't worry you guys, I'll make sure Armstrong never hurts anyone ever again!"
The Next Day 8:23pm
Roxas was waiting for a guard to tell him when Armstrong was ready to duel. Roxas thought about his Mobians in his deck and asked them to help in this duel. 'Help me out here guys, this is all for my friends, including you guys'. The door opened up and a guard appeared saying to Roxas, "It's time kid". Roxas followed him to where he was yesterday, Armstrong said, "Well well, looks like you were true to your word, but since you have no deck, I guess I win by forfeit, now get him out of my sight!"
While Armstrong was talking, Roxas told thoughtfully to Espio to un-camouflage his deck. The guards were about to grab him, but he said to Armstrong, "I have a deck, right here". Roxas showed my deck to the Chief to prove him. The Chief was super shocked at this. "Where did you find those?" Roxas narrowed his eyes at him and said, "You just don't get it, you treat us like trash. But in numbers, you're outnumbered and as for the deck, I've been hiding it ever since that duel I had with Tanner".
Armstrong growled in annoyance. "Well fine, I guess I'll duel you with this, guards prepare the duel disks!" Two guards put duel disks on each of the duelist's arms, on each of the duel disks, there is a chain connected to something on the floor. "What's this chain all about?" Armstrong answered, "Oh that, it's just to make this duel more interesting. Everytime you take battle damage, that chain will give you a tickle".
Roxas replied, "Wait... What kind of tickle?" Armstrong just answered, "You'll find out soon..." They got themselves ready to duel and they both said, "DUEL!"
Chief - 4000
Roxas - 4000
Roxas' Turn
Roxas' hand contained Chaos, Sonic Dash, E-123 Omega, Eggman Plan 4, Eggman Plan 6 and the card he drew was Cream. "I summon Chaos to the field!"
Chaos - ATK 100 DEF 1800 LV2 Sea Serpent / Effect - WATER
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. Once per turn, if this card has been targeted by an opponent's monster, you can remove 1 Speed Counter to negate that attack. If "Tikal" is on your side of the field, you can equip this card to "Tikal".
"Since he's been summoned, he gains a Speed Counter! I place two face downs and end my turn!"
Chaos 1SC
Cheif's Turn
Armstrong's hand contained Iron Chain Repairman, Psychic Cyclone, Soul Anchor, Iron Chain Snake, Poison Chain and Iron Chain Snake. The Chief smirked at my monster and he started laughing at it. "What kind of monster is that? I summon Iron Chain Repairman!"
Iron Chain Repairman - ATK 1600 DEF 1200 LV4 Warrior / Effect - EARTH
When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict 300 damage to your opponent. Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Iron Chain" monster from your Graveyard, except "Iron Chain Repairman". This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect.
"That monster hasn't got a chance against that monster! Iron Chain Repairman, attack Chaos!" The hammer warrior charged towards the water being, but Roxas interrupted his attack. "Too bad this attack is worthless, I activate Chaos' effect! By removing one speed counter, he can negate this attack!" The hammer warrior returned to the other side. The Chief was slightly irritated by this, but he says, "I place two cards down and end my turn".
Chaos 0SC
Roxas' Turn
"I draw!" The card Roxas drew was Rouge. Roxas thought of his move and announced, "I sacrifice Chaos to summon E-123 Omega!" The toughest robot out of the E-series robots appears on the field.
E-123 Omega - ATK 2000 DEF 300 LV5 Machine / Effect - EARTH
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. Once per turn during either player's Battle Phase, you can remove 1 Speed Counter to have this card gain 500 ATK until the end of the Battle Phase.
"Now, Omega gains a Speed Counter! Next I activate Sonic Dash from my hand!"
Sonic Dash - Quick Play Spell
You can give 1 "Mobian" on your side of the field, Speed Counters for the amount of "Mobian" monsters on your side of the field.
"This gives Omega an extra Speed Counter, now Omega attack Iron Chain Repairman!" Omega used his rockets to launch himself closer to the hammer warrior. Armstrong announced, "I activate Soul Anchor!"
Soul Anchor - Continuous Trap
Equip this card to a monster on the field. The equipped monster cannot be destroyed by battle (damage calculationis applied normally). Also, it cannot change its battle position.
"Oh no you don't! I activate my trap, Eggman Plan 6!" A trap card showed itself, showing the Egg Albatross from Sonic Heroes.
Eggman Plan 6 - Counter Trap
Activate only when an opponent's Spell or Trap Card is activated. Negate the activation of that card and destroy it. Send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard.
"With this, I can negate that card by discarding Cream from my hand!" The Soul Anchor trap got destroyed and Omega continued with its attack. It used its arms as machine guns and blown Iron Chain Repairman to bits. "I end my turn with this".
Chief - 3600
Chief's Turn
"My turn, I draw!" The card Armstrong drew was Iron Chain Snake. He grinned slightly at this. "I summon Iron Chain Snake!"
Iron Chain Snake - ATK 800 DEF 1200 LV3 Reptile / Effect - EARTH
During your Main Phase, you can equip this card to 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. That monster loses 800 ATK and DEF. When it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, its controller sends cards equal to its Level from the top of their Deck to the Graveyard.
"Now I can equip this monster to yours and when it does, it loses 800 attack points!"
Omega - 1200 ATK
"Next I activate my Psychic Cyclone!"
Psychic Cyclone - Quick Play Spell
Select 1 face-down Spell or Trap Card your opponent controls. Declare if it is Spell or Trap Card, and destroy it. If you were right, draw 1 card. If not, your opponent draws 1 card.
"Now I have to choose a face-down you have and if I can call it right, I can draw a card. So I'm guessing your face down is a trap! I'm right aren't I?" Roxas replied, "How?" Armstrong drawn his card, which was Iron Chain Coil and he was stretching a part of his beard slightly. "What can I say Roxas, I guess I have a niff for these things". Roxas then thought, 'Something's not right here, Sonic do you have any answers here?' Sonic replied thoughtfully, "I don't know, but you're right. Something is fishy here..." Armstrong declared the end of his turn and Sonic was looking around the area to search for something suspicious.
Roxas' Turn
"I draw!" The card Roxas drew was Mobius. He gave myself a big smile and announced, "I activate Mobius!" The field changed from a prison into a scene full of green hills, totems, dancing sunflowers and a couple of badniks buzzing around.
Mobius - Field Spell
Increase the ATK and DEF of all 'Mobian' monsters by 300 points. Once per turn, you can give 1 "Mobian" monster on your side of the field Speed Counters for the amount of "Mobian" monsters on your side of the field.
"This field is the home land of these monsters you're seeing Armstrong! Mobius gives 300 attack and defence to all Mobian monsters and I can give Speed Counters to one of my Mobians for the number of Mobians on the field! So I'm giving one more Speed Counter to Omega!"
Omega - ATK 1500 3SC
"I remove one Speed Counter on Omega to give him 500 attack for this attack! Omega, attack Armstrong directly!" Omega went crazy with power. He used his machine gun arms all around the room, but he aimed at Armstrong, lowering his life points. "I end my turn, make use for your turn, 'cause it will be your last!"
Omega 2SC
Chief's Turn
"I draw!" The Chief drew his card and it was Iron Chain Repairman. Armstrong narrowed his eyes and announced, "I set one monster down and end my turn!"
Roxas' Turn
"That was a short move, I draw!" The card Roxas drew was Chaos Control. He gave myself a big smile and was about to activate it, but Sonic interrupted his thoughts. "I found out why Armstrong was acting fishy, there's cameras all around you!" Roxas was looking around him and he indeed saw lots of cameras watching him. "You've been spying on me in this whole duel? That is so low! I activate Chaos Control!"
Chaos Control - Normal Spell
Return 1 "Mobian" monster from your hand to the Deck. Add 1 "Mobian" monster from your Deck to your hand.
"With this, I put Rouge back in my deck and I can add a different Mobian monster to my hand and I choose Tails and next, I'm summoning him!"
Tails - ATK 1000 DEF 300 LV4 Beast / Effect - WIND
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. Once per turn, you can remove 1 Speed Counter on Tails; when you do, you can Special Summon 1 "Mobian" Monster from your hand, Deck or Graveyard. If you Special Summoned from the Deck, this card cannot declare an attack.
"Tails gains a Counter and with his Counter, I can summon Knuckles from my deck!" The red echidna that appeared in my first ever duel, appears to the field.
Knuckles - ATK 1800 DEF 700 LV4 Beast / Effect - EARTH
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. If this card attacks an opponent's monster, this card gains 400 ATK during the Damage Step only. If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, until your next Standby Phase, this card has its original ATK and DEF halved. Once per turn, if a "Mobian" monster other than Knuckles would be attacked, you can remove 1 Speed Counter to switch the target to this card.
Yanagi got excited with the echidna's appearance, maybe because he wanted to see it for real. "Okay, time for the final attack! Knuckles, attack the face-down monster!" Knuckles used his spiked knuckles to destroy the monster, revealing Iron Chain Coil. It was smashed by the guardian of the Master Emerald. "Omega, attack Armstrong directly! I will use his ability to make him 500 points stronger, this will finish you!" Omega used his machine guns once again, but this time he aimed at Armstrong with his full power.
Chief - 0
Roxas - 4000
Armstrong fell down to the floor and all of the inmates cheered for Roxas for his victory. What was unexpected was that Armstrong got up and declared while pointing a finger at Roxas. "Put him in lock-down!" His eyes widened at this and argued, "What, but what about our deal?" Armstrong replied immediately, "We don't have a deal! Now take him to his c-"
But his order was interrupted by a voice. "I don't think so, Mr Armstrong" Roxas looked up to see a man with silver hair and a grey suit on. "I saw the entire duel and the only person going away is you I'm afraid. I don't see how the Facility can be run affectively if no trusts exists between the guards and the inmates, pack your things Armstrong, you're fired". The man in the grey suit walked away, leaving me to wonder who he was. Roxas then thought, 'Way to show him who's boss!'
Later after the duel, Roxas, Yusei, Alex, Tanner and Yanagi all met up in the gym, where Roxas fought Tanner. They were all commenting Roxas' dueling strategies and his deck. Alex said, "It was kinda strange that Goodwin showed up like that, I wonder what he wants..." Roxas realised that the man was named Goodwin. Yanagi said to Roxas, "I want you to take this". He offered Roxas the Trap Card Totem Pole, but he said to Yanagi, "I think Yusei deserves this more than I do". Yusei looked right at Roxas with surprise and Yusei said, "I can't take your card". But Yanagi really insisted that he should take it. After a while, Yusei said complementally, "This is incredible, thank you".
Tanner insisted as well and said, "I've got something that can help you get your runner back from the impound centre". He showed his Giant Ushi Oni to Yusei and included, "Take this to a store named Bootleg, order some milk and ask for Blister, he'll help you out".
About ten minutes later, Roxas and Yusei were both walking out of the front gates of the Facility. But little did they know, out in the distance a white duel runner was watching them and the rider took out his helmet, showing Trudge with a big scar on the left side of his face. "You may have been lucky getting out of Satellite Yusei, but next time, I'm sending you back to the Facility myself!"
Phew, I fit 3 episodes into one chapter; I hope you enjoyed it and please review me!
