All the Returning Memories
General POV
Just a normal street of Maiami City, crowd has gathered yelling and applauding. At what; the duel that was happening before their eyes a muscular man with no hair, tattoo under his left eye was dueling a figure in grey cloak with a hood hiding his identity. The former duelist was controlling three Dark Voltanis (LV: 8, ATK: 2800) while the latter had two identical piles of crap in defense position before him.
"Ha, I expected more from you, such weak monsters stand no chance against me!" the tattooed man laugh.
"My turn, draw." The hooded person said calm and took the top card of his deck. "Your dueling, it lacks the strength and threat I'm looking for, it's like a child play, really. Allow me to end this boring duel."
"What?! You dare insulting my dueling even in the pitch you are?!" the tattooed man yelled.
"I activate Broken Gear XG-0012's effect! If I control another of the same monster I can double their level!" the hooded figure pointed toward his two monsters, they glow yellow as the level of both rose from two to four. "Next I summon the tuner monster, Broken Gear LTF-5001!"
Broken Gear LTF-5001, LV: 2/Earth/Machine/Tuner/ATK: 200/ DEF: 400
A small robot, not more than half a meter high made of rusted parts with a broken lamp serving as head materialized between the two piles of crap.
"T-tuner monster?! Then you are," the man's eyes widened.
"A Synchro user, correct." The hooded figure swiped his hand to the sky. "I tune my two level four Broken Gear XG-0012s to the level two, Broken Gear LTF-5001!" LTF pressed the light switch on his chest and his whole body started glowing turning into two green rings the flied into the air followed by the XGs that fell apart each into four pieces and connected together creating the silhouette of a mecha. "Build from the scraps of a ruined past, fighting for a better future!" the hooded figure chanted as a column of light fell behind him. "Synchro Summon, emerge, level ten! Destromech Zeus-X!"
Two giant white arms came out the column followed by the body of a giant white mecha. Its body had a somehow stocky build with the shoulders being big and in the form of towers. The mecha's legs were wide and heavy giving it perfect balance, the head wasn't convex, instead it's a part of the machine's chest. It raised its right hand was holding what appears to be a combo of a staff, spear and flamethrower.
Destromech Zeus-X, LV: 10/Light/Machine/ATK: 3800/ DEF: 3500
"I activate Broken Gear XG-0012's effect! When that monster is used as a Synchro material the monster summoned using can attack a second time during the turn it was summoned!"
"B-but you used two of those to summon it…!" the tattooed man retreated.
"Which means that it can attack three times in one turn!" the hooded figure declared, Zeus-X's eyes glow blue and it pointed its weapon toward the three monsters, multiple engines on its back and legs started working sending it flying toward the monsters.
"W-wait! Can't we talk about it?" the man begged.
"Um…, no." the hooded figure deadpanned as his mecha flied through his opponent's monsters destroying them all. "What a fool." The figure commented looking at his opponent who has fallen unconscious from the attack.
Unknown's LP: 3400, Hand: 0 (Win!)
Drift's LP: 2900 – 1900 – 900 – 0, Hand: 0
"Good work." A girl clapped behind the hooded figure making him turn around. She was wearing a white hood hiding her identity. "Fifty wins in less than a week, you really want to face him."
"Don't sneak behind people like this." The male said crossing hands.
"Oh please." She put her hands on the hips and leaned toward. "Or did I scare you? Ha-ha-ha!"
The boy sighed, this was getting annoying, but he was going to shut her very soon. "There is a black cat." He lied.
"Where!?" the girl jumped as if something bite her from behind and started looking around like crazy.
"I was just kidding, you coward." The boy almost laughed.
"Very funny from you." The girl murmured sarcastically.
"And about the fifty wins, you know that if I enter the tournament with cheating, even if I beat Yuksel it won't satisfy me. I want to defeat him fairly."
"You amaze me, really. You know that surpassing Yuksel and his dragons is impossible, but you never give up trying." The girl said titling her head at the side. The boy squeezed his fist hard, remembering about Yuksel.
Flashback, General POV
The boy and girl are both in an abandoned factory that appears as if it haven't seen a human for at least fifty years, the machines were rusted and broken, windows broken and glass all over the ground. The place was somewhere in the desert and the two had to duel against a group of thugs all by themselves. An explosion sent our heroes rolling on the dirty ground before finally hitting a machine in the end of the building.
"Boss, I think we overdid it." A skinny thug said.
"Let's make a deal." The boss, a man in punk style outfit said to the boy. "If you give us all your possessions and the girl we could let you leave this place alive."
The boy looked up his hood has fallen revealing long charcoal black hair, grey eyes and a scar around the left eye of someone who was clearly a few years older than Yuksel. He clenched his teeth and tried to get up supporting himself with both hands which had multiple small cuts because of the glass. "And what do you plan to do with her, bastards!?" The boy yelled angry.
"Oh nothing," the boss returned innocently. "just going to have a bit of 'fun' with her." The whole bad laughed at this while the anger in the boy's eyes only raised more. "Just look what a gorgeous body it would be a crime if I don't play a bit with it." The bad laughed once again. Hearing the comment the girl shivered.
"Bastards…" the boy returned with a growl.
"It's a good deal if you think about it," One of the thugs said. "Your life points are close to zero and you have no cards left to play."
"I will die before letting anyone of you touch her even with a finger!" the boy yelled back.
"As you please." The boss said taking hold of the top card of his deck. "Rest in peace, my tu-"
"My turn!" another voice interrupted the leader, the group looked around trying to find the source but the voice sounded from everywhere. "I tune N.G. Runner to N.G. Lifter, Synchro Summon!" a boy in a sleeveless black leather long coat with a red cloak floating behind him and a hood hiding his identity jumped from nowhere and landed between the two groups. A white column of light fell behind him.
"Who the heck are you?!" the boss asked.
"Just a phantom." The boy answered, as the white silhouette of a dragon appeared behind him.
"He came." The girl said cheerfully.
"About time." The boy replied unimpressed.
""Xyz Summon! Fusion Summon!" the thugs fell backward as a black and purple column of light fell next to the white dragon and soon the silhouettes of one black and one purple dragon joined their brother. "Alpha!" the white dragon roared. "Beta!" the black one followed. "And you, Delta!" the purple one roared too. "Attack them directly, Triple Dimension Bite!" All three dragons roared in unison and flied with Alpha in the center while Beta and Delta circle around it, their bodies soon disappeared into a white whirlwind with black lightning and red flames covering it.
"Nooooo!" the thugs yelled as the attack collided with them. The boy looked at his savior or his back at least because the so called phantom didn't turned around to look at them; instead he silently went to leave the place with the three monsters floating behind him.
"Yuksel…" the boy whispered both with anger and gratefulness.
Present Day, Hema's POV
I don't know how to say it, but I'm in trouble right now. Smiley leaded us to my duel and now I ended up having to face a guy called Miruko, the guy isn't a problem but when I destroyed his face-down Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter and got my Dance Vortex blown up my brother burst into a maniacal laugh that told me that he has some memory with the kind of deck my opponent runs, damn you Yuksel.
"I attack directly with Jain, Lightsworn Paladin!" Miruko cried. This reminded me that I'm in the middle of a god damn duel!
"Not so fast!" I jumped from the tree I was on grabbing an Action card in midair. "Action spell, Big Escape! The battle phase ends!" I smirked as Miruko's monster stopped its attack a few inches away from me.
"Nice job. I set one card face-down, turn end." Miruko declared. "At this point Jain's effect activates and I must sent the top two cards of my deck to the graveyard." A white portal appeared on the ground and a white werewolf came out of it. "However, when Wulf, Lightsworn Beast (LV: 4, ATK: 2100) is sent from the deck to the graveyard he is summoned on the field." Miruko said with his look-like-never-disappearing smirk.
"My turn, draw!"
Turn 4
Miruko's LP: 4000, Hand: 0
Hema's LP: 3200, Hand: 4
"I activate Fusion Recovery!" I said taking my Polymerization and Modern HERO Wild Feather came back to my hand. "Next I activate Polymerization to fuse the Wild Feather and Modern HERO Burst Lady that are in my hand!" the two monsters appeared before me and put their hands together merging. "Hero of heat and flames, bring justice and burn the evil off this world! Fusion Summon, Modern Hero Phoenix Nova!"
"Another fusion already!" Miruko said impressed. "May, may, we have such a skilled duelist here."
"I'm not done! Spell card, Modern Fusion! With this I can fusion summon a monster using monsters in my graveyard as materials! I banish Modern HERO Dance Vortex and Lady Gear! Hero from below, protecting the heart, rise from the ground and get rid of the poison over it! Fusion Summon! I call over you, Modern Hero Blast Driller!" and so my third fusion today made her debut. "I attack Wulf with Phoenix Nova!"
The heroine smirked creating a fire ball in her hand and throwing it toward the monster.
"Continuous Trap open, Lightsworn Barrier!" Miruko smirked. "When my opponent declare an attack I can sent the top two cards from my deck to the graveyard in order to negate the attack!" A barrier formed around his monster blocking the attack.
"Then I will attack Jain with Blast Driller!" I cried and my monster fired the drills on her shoulders toward.
"I use Lightsworn Barrier's effect again!" and again a barrier blocked my attack.
'Damn it, he blocks my attacks so easily, however every time he does his deck size decreases. If I keep it up he soon won't have any cards left in his deck.' At least I got a plan now.
"I set one card face-down, turn end." I declared.
"Draw!"
Turn 5
Miruko's LP: 4000, Hand: 1
Hema's LP: 3200, Hand: 0
"Perfect. I summon Judgment Dragon (LV: 8, ATK: 3000)!" Miruko smirked as a white dragon appeared behind him and roared.
'Why must all good looking boys have dragons?' I thought, but really, why?
"I activate Judgment's effect! By paying 1000 life points I can destroy all other cards on the field!" Miruko's dragon fired a white energy beam in the sky, it exploded into multiple pieces and small arrows hit both my and Miruko's cards shattering them. "Battle Phase, direct attack with Judgment Dragon!" I crossed my hands and a beam of energy hit me in the chest knocking me on the ground.
Hema's LP: 3200 - 200, Hand: 0
"I end my turn here." Miruko smirked at me. "Now because of Judgment Dragon's effect I must send the top three cards of my deck to the graveyard."
'My face should be red right now.' I thought, but it wasn't from embarrassment. "My turn, draw!"
Turn 6
Miruko's LP: 3000, Hand: 0
Hema's LP: 200, Hand: 1
"Perfect! I summon HERO Boy!" a small boy in a blue 'Superman' style costume with a silver H in the center, a red cape and mask appeared on the field.
HERO Boy, LV: 2/Light/Warrior/ATK: 300/ DEF: 200
"HERO Boy's effect allows me to banish it and one Modern HERO monster from my graveyard to fusion summon one Modern HERO monster from my extra deck!" Burst Lady appeared next to Hero Boy and they turned into a whirlwind of multiple colors. "Great mother of everything good, hear the call of your child and grant the heroes power that can cut through darkness! Fusion Summon! Lend me your power, Modern HERO Shining Sun!" I chanted; a white orb appeared in the sky blinding my opponent.
"What is this?" Miruko asked confused.
"The sun!" it was my turn to smirk as Shining Sun gracefully landed to my left side. "Shining Sun's effect activates, all Modern HERO monsters I control gain 100 attack points for each HERO in the grave and all monsters you control lost 200 attack points for each banished HERO!" Judgment roared as his attack fell to 2200 and Shining's rose to 2800. "I'm not done yet! By banishing Modern Fusion from the graveyard I can special summon a Modern HERO fusion monster from my grave, but it's destroyed during the end of the turn; raised again, Modern HERO Phoenix Nova!" The now 2600 points strong heroine float over me.
"What a combo?!" Miruko's eyes widened.
"Battle! I attack Judgment Dragon with Phoenix Nova!" the woman smirked and created a fireball in her right hand throwing it toward Judgment dragon, destroying it.
"Damn." Miruko cursed and ran to take an action card.
Miruko's LP: 3000 - 2600, Hand: 0
"Phoenix Nova's effect activates!" I declared. "When she destroys a monster by battle my opponent takes damage equal to the destroyed monsters original attack value."
"But Judgment's attack was…" Miruko's eyes widened, but then he noticed an Action card and speeded toward it.
"It's no use running." I shrugged. My monster landed before Miruko and hit him in the chest with a fire fist.
Miruko's LP: 2600 - 0, Hand: 0
Hema's LP: 200, Hand: 0 (Win!)
"Guess I lost." Miruko sighed. "But it was a fun duel, right?"
"Mhm," I nodded as the field around us vanished.
"Only if I haven't discarded my entire hand to deal those eight hundred points of damage in my first turn..." Miruko sighed, angry, for the chose he made I guess.
"What happened has happened." I tried to soothe him. "But those mistakes we make every day are the thing that help us to grow up as better people, aren't they?" Miruko nodded agreeing with me. "Good."
And just when we left the duel room a certain little girl jumped on me for a tight hug crying in joy: "You were amazing neechan!"
"H-hey, calm down." I smiled at her.
"Enough Oni," a crimson haired boy came and took the girl by the waist raised her in the air and putting her to sit on his shoulders.
"Won't your shoulders tire like this?" I asked my brother worried for Oni; there is no telling if this idiot won't drop her.
"What can I do? Oni wanted it." Yuksel returned with a big smile on his face, he really enjoys taking Oni happy. But what about me you big jerk?!
"Yeah, whatever you say." I tried to wave it off.
"We have two hours before the next duel. Do you want us to sit somewhere and maybe have a drink?" my brother asked.
"Sounds good for me." I responded.
"Oni is for."
"Good." My brother said putting both hands on Oni's waist and…
He threw her in the air?!
I tried to run and grab her but my body has frozen in shock; being only able to watch how the little girl is falling toward the hard ground.
Oh God!
Suddenly Oni flipped in the air and my brother grabbed her putting her gently on the ground. "Ta-da!" they cried throwing their hands at the sides.
"W-what was that…?" I asked still shocked.
"I and niichan played while you were dueling and he taught me this." Oni answered happy, unaware about the beating her 'niichan' is about to get for teaching her something that dangerous.
"Brother…" I mumbled under my nose.
"Yes?" he asked happy, unaware about what is about to happen.
SLAP! BAM! POOF! WHEE-WHOO-WHEE-WHOO-WHEE-WHOO! Meow! KA-BOOM!
"What were you thinking?!" I yelled at my brother angry.
"Waf d beting nded?" he asked back, his face literally bonded with the floor.
"Yes, it was!" I yelled back; he can be such a moron at times.
"Shry." He apologized.
"Just don't do it again, ok?" I turned around, I feel embarrassed for accepting his apology so fast.
"Uderstut." He trump up with face still kissing the ground.
"You can get up now." I told him rolling my eyes, he is so stupid at times.
"Nh uh cnt." He mumbled.
"Oh crap." I face palmed. Maaaaaaaybe I overdid it a bit.
So after twenty minutes and some help from a janitor we were able to 'unbound' my brother from the floor and after twenty more minutes we found a place to sit and drink something. Five minutes have passed already and no one has said a word, so I choose to finally break the silence.
"Is that why you two came here?" I asked my companions, unimpressed from their behavior. When we came here the two just ordered their drinks took their decks and put them on the table looking thought them, commenting and giving ideas to one another.
"What do you mean neechan?" Oni asked curious.
"I thought that we came here to you know, have a drink, talk and maybe even laugh." I explained. This is why people go out together, right?
"Well, I and Oni are talking with each other and it isn't our problem that our topic doesn't suit your preferences." My brother deadpanned. Hey, do you hear the ambulance? I think they are coming for you, again.
"Whatever." I took a sip from my drink and looked away, annoyed.
"Ok," my brother sighed. "What do you want us to talk about?"
"I don't know? Something of the sort 'How was your day' maybe?" honestly I never expected to have a normal conversation with my brother, so I had no idea what to talk about with him. A heavy sigh escaped Yuksel's lips and he put his elbow on the table and leaned on it, eyes closed and two fingers massaging the space between them. If there is something that I know about my brother it would be that when he hears something too stupid this is his way to say: 'That was so stupid that I got a headache from only hearing it.'
"And how was your day today, darling?" He finally asked with a sarcastic tone and a somehow diabolic smirk.
"…"
"Well?"
"Um… yeah, let's talk about trading card games instead." Don't show fear he can smell it.
Author Note: Now that was one my fastest updates, I wanted this chapter to come out next week then I said 'Eh, I'm too lazy to wait till next week...' so I put it now and to be honest I have no idea why I put that thing with Yuksel throwing Oni in the air, but... I just wanted to see Hema beat the crap out of him again. Like, she haven't attacked him since Chapter 6 and this isn't like her at all :V
And if my memory doesn't lie to me from Yuksel's dragons you have seen only Beta Spike and Gamma Blast in action so far, but don't worry, the others will show up pretty soon. Also, to put a small spoiler here I feel very happy because with each chapter I post, the closer I get to my most favorite duel in this story so far!
I want to thank to the other fanfic writers, reading their stories returned me to life, thank you guys for being such awesome writers! :D
Now to the New Cards thingy a.k.a I Want to Shoot Myself From Boredom (IWtSMFB), really, while comming up with the cards and effects is awesome, writing them down following the way how Konami does it (as much as possible of course) is REALLY boring, but there is no helping it I guess...
