This chapter has 2 duels that happen at the same time, so we try to space them out alittle bit so they don't get confuseing. Just read carfully and try to follow.
*Cairo, Egypt, Duelist Apartment Complex 6:59 pm LST*
Colin was sitting on the floor of his ransacked apartment, distraught over the loss of a majority of his cards. Jeremy and Chris looked around to see if they could find anything.
Jeremy: Who would be able to do this?
Chris: Somebody with a key, probably?
Jeremy: No, only you and Colin have keys and there are no signs of the door being forced open.
Chris: Well, I gave my key to Derek. He said he needed to get something out of the apartment.
Colin stood up and walked over to Chris's large bag that Chris carried around and dug inside of it. He found a small container thing.
Colin: He got something, all right. He got my cards.
Chris: Oh, come on! Derek's a jerk, but he wouldn't-
Colin: Oh, he would. He would.
Colin opened the small container and there were more duel cards in there. Colin took the card on top and flipped it over. It was Dark Magician Girl.
Colin: I got some serious ass to kick today.
He took the cards out of his containers and put them in the deck slot of his duel disk.
Colin: Chris, Jeremy is dueling at 8:00 and me and Read duel at 8:30. I want you to find Krystal and find my brother. And if he has my cards on him, tie him up and wait for me to get done and I'll kill him myself!
Chris didn't argue because when Colin was serious, he was serious. So, Chris left to go find Krystal.
Jeremy: Why would your brother want to take your cards from you?
Colin: He needs to pay off a gambling debt. Who would pay to get some of the rarest cards they could find?
Jeremy: The Rift.
Colin: The Rift.
Meanwhile, Derek was walking along the streets holding the Machine Overlord card in his hand.
Derek: Sorry I had to do this, but I got loan-sharks coming after me. Once Edwards pays off my debt, you're going to have a new master Machine Overlord.
Chris and Krystal were walking and they spotted him.
Chris: Hey Freeze Asshole!
Derek turned around, saw those 2 and started Running.
Chris: Get Back here!
Chris started running after him.
Krystal: Chris wait!
But too late Chris ran after Derek at full speed.
While those 2 were engaged in a high speed chase, Jeremy went to go get ready for his duel. Tinker was waiting for Jeremy at his stadium with his Duel Runner.
Tinker: Sorry Jeremy, I did all I could with the light speed thing. I just don't think it's possible with your Runner.
Jeremy: Eh, you tried.
Jeremy got suited up and onto his Runner, ready for his duel.
MC: Introducing first, from Cleveland, Ohio! Jeremy Griffan! And his opponent, from Dublin, Ireland! Shamus O'Brian!
Shamus came riding in on a monstrous-looking Duel Runner and he lined up next to Jeremy for their duel.
Shamus: Hey, fella, you're friends with that Kennat fella, aren't ya? He made a fool of me today and I'm going to make sure you fall in his place!
Jeremy: Go figure. Colin does something stupid and I end up paying for it. Story of my life.
MC: Duelists, are you ready?
The starting light flashed yellow… yellow… yellow… GREEN!
Both: Duel!
They sped off from the starting gate and Shamus tries to ram Jeremy's Runner to make him lose his balance, but Jeremy was able to maintain his balance and activated an extra thrust, speeding ahead of Shamus and was able to make the first move.
Jeremy (LP 4000) (SC 0): I'll go first! *draws* I'll start by placing one monster face-down in defense mode and two cards face-down!
Shamus (LP 4000) (SC 0): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I summon Celtic Warrior (Lv.4 1800/200) in attack mode!
A muscle-bound warrior wearing ancient Celtic garbs and carrying a two-handed longsword appeared on the field.
Shamus (SC 1): Once per turn, if this monster attacks and a Trap would be activated, it is not activated. What's more, after this monster attacks, it's switched to defense mode! Now, Celtic Warrior, attack his defense position monster!
Celtic Warrior swung its mighty sword at Jeremy's face-down monster, which was Aussa the Earth Charmer (Lv.3 500/1500) and destroyed her.
Shamus: I'll put three cards face-down and end me turn!
Jeremy (SC 1): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I summon Gemini Elf (Lv.4 1900/900)! And I'll have them attack Celtic Warrior!
Shamus (SC 2): I activate the Trap Card Confusion Wave! This let's me control your elves as long as this card is face-up!
The Gemini Elves switched from Jeremy's side of the field to Shamus's.
Jeremy (SC 2): I'll end my turn!
Shamus: *draws, gains Speed Counter* Since I have Celtic Warrior on the field, I can tribute it to Special Summon The Celtic King (Lv.7 2500/2300)!
A Celtic warrior with royal garbs such as a cape and an emerald crown, carrying two long swords emerged onto the field.
Shamus (SC 3): And with him out, I can summon the Tuner Clover Synchron (Lv.5 1900/1400)!
Clover Synchron looked like a shamrock with arms and legs.
Shamus: Now I'll tune my Level 5 Clover Synchron with the Level 4 Gemini Elf to Synchro Summon The Celtic Queen (Lv.9 2900/2700)!
Much like The Celtic King, The Celtic Queen wore royal Celtic clothing and she carried a spiked flail.
Jeremy (SC 3): Oh, shit! It's always against the powerful monsters!
Meanwhile, back on the streets of Cairo, Derek was running for his life with Chris hot on his tail.
Derek: *huff huff huff huff* Man, why won't this guy just trip and fall down already?
Chris: *huff huff huff huff* Man, I haven't been this tired since Gym Class, my eighth year!
Derek knocked over some fruit stands full of oranges to try and trip Chris and Chris stumbled in it, but he kept on running. Derek then ran into a building and Chris followed him.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
Shamus: And since The Celtic King is on the field, I can select one of your Spell or Trap Cards and neutralize it for a turn! And he will now attack you directly!
The Celtic King charged straight for Jeremy.
Jeremy: You picked the wrong Trap to neutralize, because now I activate Hallowed Life Barrier! By discarding a card from my hand, I can neutralize all damage for one turn!
The Celtic King hit a barrier surrounding Jeremy and was sent backward.
Shamus: Gr! Since I can't attack, I'll end my turn!
Jeremy: *draws, gains Speed Counter* I'll set one card face-down and summon Eria the Water Charmer (Lv.3 500/1500) in defense mode!
Shamus (SC 4): *draws, gains Speed Counter* *thinks: Okay, he's just asking to be destroyed! He has two Traps on the field now. I can only neutralize one. Last time I did the card on the right, maybe now I should just use the card he played face-down.* First, my Celtic King will neutralize the Trap you just played and he will attack your Water Charmer!
Celtic King charged for Eria.
Jeremy (SC 5): I activate the Trap Card Sakuretsu Armor!
The Sakuretsu Armor attached itself to The Celtic King and he was destroyed.
Jeremy: And now that your King is gone, I'm free to activate my other card!
Shamus (SC 5): Well because my Celtic King was destroyed by a card effect, you lose 500 Life Points for every face-down Spell or Trap on the field! I count 3: 1 on yours, 2 on mine! So that's 1500 of your precious Life Points gone! And now Celtic Queen will attack!
Celtic Queen charged at Eria, but a barrier blocked her attack.
Jeremy (LP 2500): I activated the Trap Card Draining Shield! This not only negates your attack, but increases my Life Points equal to the attacking card's attack points!
Shamus (SC 6): But now I activate my own Trap, Throwing Spear! My Queen's attack may be negated, but this Trap prevents you from gaining any Life Points! But, I have to send two cards in my hand to the Graveyard! And that will end my turn!
Jeremy (SC 6): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I activate the Speed Spell Young Revival! This allows me to bring back one Level 3 or below card from my Graveyard, so now I bring back Aussa the Earth Charmer! She won't stay for long, because I now sacrifice them both in order to summon Ice Queen (Lv.8 2900/2100)! That ends my turn!
Shamus (SC 7): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I'll set one card face-down and end me turn!
Jeremy (SC 8): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I activate the Speed Spell Speed Energy! Since I have 2 or more Speed Counters, I can increase Ice Queen's attack by 200 for each Speed Counter I have! I have 9 so that totals 1800 extra attack points! Ice Queen, attack Celtic Queen!
An icy whirlwind surrounded The Celtic Queen, but when it dissipated, she was still standing strong.
Shamus (SC 9): Oh, did I forget to tell ya about the Queen's effect, there fella? As long as I have a monster in my Graveyard, I can remove it from play and I can keep her from being destroyed! *removes Celtic Warrior from play* And any damage I would sustain is negated! But now I can activate my Trap Shadow Send-off! If an attack failed to destroy any monster, you must send the top 5 cards on your Deck to the Graveyard!
Because Jeremy's attack failed, he sent the top five cards in his deck to the Graveyard.
Jeremy (SC 9): *thinks: Things just got a little harder!*
Meanwhile, Chris continued to chase Derek through a building, going up a flight of stairs.
Chris: *huff huff huff* I hate stairs!
Derek made it to the top floor, but there was nowhere to go. He had reached a dead end, until an elevator door opened and a couple of people came out. Derek went inside and pushed the "1st floor" button. Chris caught up to the top floor.
Chris: *huff huff* Hold that elevator!
But it was too late. The doors closed before Chris could get on the elevator. Chris noticed the elevator was starting to go down now.
Chris: Gah! Damn it!
And he started going back down the stairs. And now, back to the duel.
MC: Ladies and gentlemen, we have here a battle of queens! Which one of these destructive damsels will be dethroned?
Jeremy: Before I end my turn, I'll activate the effect of Speed World 2! By removing 7 Speed Counters, I can draw two cards!
Jeremy slows down and draws two cards from his Deck.
Jeremy (SC 2): Then I'll end my turn by placing these two cards face-down!
Shamus: *draws, gains Speed Counter* And now I'll attack your Ice Queen with my Celtic Queen!
Celtic Queen swung her sword at Ice Queen, but she blocked it with her scepter and sent her flying backwards.
Shamus (SC 10): What?
Jeremy (SC 3): I activated the Trap Card Maternal Spirits! This Trap equips to a monster and its attack increases by 200 for each monster of the same type in my Graveyard!
Shamus: Well, then I'll remove Clover Synchron from my Graveyard to negate her destruction and the damage! But now I have to send the top 5 cards in my Deck to the Graveyard! *sends cards to his Graveyard* That ends my turn!
Jeremy: *draws, gains Speed Counter* I activate the Speed Spell Spirit Peace! Since I have 4 or more Speed Counters, I can remove one card from both of our Graveyards! I'll remove my Draining Shield and your Celtic King! And now that you don't have any monsters left in your grave, Ice Queen can destroy Celtic Queen!
Ice Queen fires an icy whirlwind from her scepter and destroys Celtic Queen, inflicting 600 points of damage to Shamus.
Shamus (LP 3400) (SC 11): Agh! You're going to pay for that, fella!
Jeremy (SC 4): Not today because I activate the Trap Ebon's Furious Shadows! Since Ice Queen destroyed one of your monsters, she gains an additional attack plus 500 attack points! Ice Queen, finish him!
Ice Queen summoned forth an icy whirlwind that surrounded Shamus's Runner and reduced his Life Points to 0. His runner started to overheat and stops on the track. He removes his helmet and throws it on the track in a furious rage.
Meanwhile, Derek got out of the elevator of the first floor of the building.
Derek: *sighs* That kid doesn't give up!
Krystal: FALCON KICK!
Derek turned his head slightly, then Krystal's foot came flying in and kicked him in his hairy face. He fell backwards and Krystal put her foot on his chest and started crushing it. Chris finally caught up and picked up the Machine Overlord Derek dropped.
Chris: *Huff Huff* I Got'cha! *Huff* Finally!
Krystal: Good job Chris! You're such a hero! ^^
Chris: You're Damn right! *Huff*
Chris put a bag over Derek's head and they tied him up. After a long while, they eventually removed a bag and right in front of Derek was Colin.
Derek: Ah! Uh, hey, bro! How's it going?
Colin grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and yanked him off the ground.
Colin: Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you?
Derek: Uh, because we're family?
Colin: Oh, you always use that one!
Krystal: Because you're better than that, Colin?
Colin: … She's right.
Colin dropped Derek to the ground, unties him and gives him a bundle of cash.
Colin: Here's the $5,000 you asked for. Take it, get on the first flight back home and pay off your debts. If we ever end up in this situation again, I will throw you off a ten-story building. Do you understand?
Derek: Thank you.
Derek takes the money and leaves.
Rita: I can't believe you let him go like that, after all he did!
Colin: Eh, it's family. What can you do? Now I just need to worry about defeating Edwards and getting my cards back.
Krystal: Can you? I mean, he got all of your good machines.
Colin: I don't need machines.
They were already at the duel stadium where Colin was at and they called out his name for their duel. When he came out he looked up at the bright lights of the stadium against the starry night skies and remembered how he loved these Prime-time duels. Colin threw a lucky lady in the audience a rose, and he heard her squeal with delight. He then turned his intense gaze upon his opponent. Clyde Edwards!
Edwards: Well I'm surprised you actually decided to face the gallows like a true man. Since your best cards are 'Missing' I would have assumed you would flee back across the ocean, to your safe little haven and cry yourself to sleep now.
Colin: No, An Englishman who steals another person's duel cards is the biggest, most fearful coward I ever met!
Edwards: You sure you're not talking about the French? *Snickers*
Colin: I'll accept your Challenge! Winner gets the Losers Rarest card! But wanna Up the ante, If I win I get all my cards back!
Edwards: I don't think so, I took all your cards! You have nothing of worth to me at all now!
Colin: Not even, *Shows Machine Overlord* my good ol'buddy here?
Edwards: *Thinks: Damn! That weasel must have given it back!* Fine, I accept!
Both: LET'S DUEL!
Colin (LP 8000): *draws* I'll summon Battle Footballer (Lv.4 1000/2100) in defense mode! And one card face-down to end my turn!
Edwards (LP 8000): *draws* *thinks: Let's see how he likes his own combo used against him!* I'll start by summoning Robotic Knight (Lv.4 1600/1800) in attack mode! And I'll use the effect of Robotic Engineer (Lv.4 1200/1500) to summon him straight to the field!
Colin: Oh damn!
Edwards: Now I'll tune Level 4 Robotic Engineer with Level 4 Robotic Knight in order to Synchro Summon Dragonic Machine King (Lv.8 3500/2700)!
Dragonic Machine King appeared on the field and roared at Colin with intent to kill.
Edwards: So tell me, how does it feel to be staring into the eyes of your own monster?
Colin: Not as pleasant as you'd think it would be.
At the same time, Rita had made her way to the northeast stadium in preparation for her duel at the exact same time as Colin's. Her opponent is Anupam Chapal from Bombay, India. They were already on stage and ready to duel.
MC: Duelists, are you ready?
Both: Let's Duel!
Anupam (LP 8000): *draws* I'll start by summoning Ore Soldier Iron (Lv.3 1200/800) in attack mode!
A person made of rocks and iron appeared on the field.
Anupam: And I'll activate his ability! If I have a Level 4 or lower Ore Soldier in my hand, I can Special Summon it, and I'll use it to Special Summon Ore Soldier Solphate (Lv.2 1000/500)!
Ore Soldier Solphate looked like a smaller version of Iron except he was yellow and made of Solphate.
Anupam: I can now increase the attack power of all Rock monsters except Solphate by 300 and decrease the attack of other monsters by 400! And I'll set one card face-down to end my turn!
Rita (LP 8000): *draws* First, I activate Graceful Charity! I'll discard Watapon (Lv.1 200/300) and Magician of Faith (Lv.1 300/400) from my hand to draw 3 more cards from my Deck! Next, I'll remove them from play to Special Summon Soul of Purity and Light (Lv.6 2000/1800)! Then, I'll Normal Summon Dunames Dark Witch (Lv.4 1800/1050)! Soul of Purity and Light, attack Ore Soldier Solphate!
The attack lands and Ore Soldier Solphate is destroyed and Anupam loses 600 Life Points.
Anupam (LP 7400): I activate the Trap Sandstorm! Every time an attacking monster destroys another monster, during that End Phase, the attacking monsters are destroyed and half of their attack points are deducted from your Life Points!
Rita: *thinks: Damn! At the end of my turn, I'll lose Soul of Purity and Light! I should keep Dunames from attacking.* I'll end my turn with two face-downs!
When Rita's turn ended, a sandstorm had appeared and when it ended, Soul of Purity and Light had vanished and Rita lost 1000 Life Points.
Jeremy made his way into the stadium where Colin was dueling. He saw that Dragonic Machine King was already out on Edwards's side of the field. And Jeremy overheard some of Colin's fan girls talking.
Colin Fan Girl #1: I don't understand it. Isn't Dragonic Machine King Colin's card?
Colin Fan Girl #2: Maybe there's more than one Dragonic Machine King.
Colin Fan Girl #3: No, there's only one Dragonic Machine King.
All 3 Girls: Ooooooooooooohhhhhh! This is so confusing!
Jeremy: *thinks: Man, these girls are simple-minded!*
Edwards: Now, Dragonic Machine King, attack Battle Footballer!
Dragonic Machine King tried to fire a laser from its mouth, but it seemed paralyzed.
Colin: I activate the Trap Spellbinding Circle! Now your monster can't attack or change its battle position!
Edwards: Well fine! I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Colin: My turn! *draws* I'll summon Spare Part Machine (Lv.3 100/1500) in defense mode!
A small mechanical box of repair tools appeared on the field.
Colin: As long as I've got another Machine on the field, you can't target this monster at all! Not with attacks or card effects! And I'll set one more card face-down and end my turn!
Edwards: *draws* I think I'll get rid of your Dragonic Machine King in order to summon your Jinzo (Lv.6 2400/1500)! Now all Traps are useless! Jinzo, destroy that Battle Footballer!
Jinzo fired a laser from its eyes and the attack hits hit, but all it did was leave a scar on Battle Footballer.
Colin: Thanks to my Spare Part Machine, my Machine monsters can survive up to one attack!
Spare Part Machine repaired the scar on Battle Footballer but Footballer lost 1000 attack points.
Edwards: I'll end my turn then!
Anupam: *draws* I summon the Tuner Ore Soldier Silicon (Lv.3 1300/700)!
A grey-silver rock person appeared on the field.
Anupam: And now I'll tune my Level 3 Ore Soldier Silicon with Level 3 Ore Soldier Iron in order to Synchro Summon the Stone Tiger of Mumbai (Lv.6 2100/1600)!
A giant stone tiger with a single ruby eye emerged onto the field.
Anupam: And since I used Ore Soldier Silicon to Synchro Summon it, I can summon 2 Stone Tokens (Lv.1 0/0) to the field!
Two giant boulders appeared on Anupam's side of the field.
Anupam: Now I activate the Stone Tiger's ability! For every Rock-type monster I tribute, I can destroy one Spell or Trap on the field!
The Stone Tiger destroyed the 2 Stone Tokens and both of Rita's face-downs were destroyed.
Anupam: Now, Stone Tiger, destroy Dunames Dark Witch!
The Stone Tiger lunged and pounced on Dunames Dark Witch, destroying her and inflicting 300 points of damage to Rita. Then, Sandstorm affected Anupam and dealt 1050 points of damage to his Life Points, but the Stone Tiger was a Rock-type monster, so it was safe from destruction.
Anupam (LP 6350): I end my turn!
Rita (LP 6400): *draws* I'll place this monster face-down in defense mode and one more card face-down! That ends my turn!
Anupam: *draws* I activate the Spell Stop Defense, to switch your monster into attack mode!
Rita's monster flipped face-up, which was Unhappy Maiden (Lv.1 0/100).
Anupam: Now, Stone Tiger, attack Unhappy Maiden!
Stone Tiger lunged towards Unhappy Maiden.
Rita: I activate the Trap Card Tag In! When you attack one of my monsters, I can switch that monster with one in my hand that has the opposite Attribute! So, I'll return Unhappy Maiden to summon Skull Archfiend of Lightning (Lv.6 2500/1200)!
The Unhappy Maiden to her left and saw the Skull Archfiend of Lightning behind wrestling ropes, holding out its hand, waiting for a tag. Unhappy tagged him and returned to Rita's hand and the Skull Archfiend of Lightning went between the ropes and charged at the attacking Stone Tiger of Mumbai. The Stone Tiger bit the Archfiend's arm, but he sent a bolt of lightning to its body and the Stone Tiger crumbled, inflicting 400 points of damage to Anupam.
Anupam (LP 5950): I'll set this face-down in defense mode and end my turn!
Rita: *draws, pays 500 due to Archfiend's effect* I activate Monster Reborn to revive your Stone Tiger to my side of the field!
The Stone Tiger of Mumbai appeared on Rita's side of the field.
Rita (LP 5900): And then I activate Change of Heart to control your face-down monster! And then I'll sacrifice it to summon Caius the Shadow Monarch (Lv.6 2400/1000)! And now all three of them will attack you directly!
The Stone Tiger charged with the Archfiend's lightning and the Shadow Monarch's shadows at Anupam and the combined attack succeeded, inflicting him with a total of 7000 points of damage.
Anupam (LP 0): Oh, how humiliating!
MC: Another dominant win for Rita St. Clair! I swear this girl's amazing! This girl is awesome! This girl is… running for the doors. Where's she going?
Rita ran out of the stadium as fast as she could to the southwest stadium to see Colin duel and he was in the middle of a very intense fight right now.
Colin: My turn! *draws* I sacrifice my two monsters-
Jeremy: *thinks: Oh, Colin, he's gonna do it!*
Colin: -To summon the Red-Eyes Black Dragon (Lv.7 2400/2000)!
A Mighty Red-eyes flew down onto the field and landed right behind Colin, its red eyes intimidating Jinzo. The sudden appearance of this monster shocked the audience because they thought Colin only used Machine-type monsters. One of those people was Nick Hollaland, who was standing in one of the corners of the stadium entrances.
Nick: A Red-Eyes?
Ryan: It's truly a magnificent beast, isn't it?
Nick looked over and noticed that Ryan was standing behind him, watching the duel.
Nick: You and your dragon obsession.
Ryan: Hey, that obsession helped me win two Silver Cups, remember?
Nick: One! Didn't you cheat in the second one?
Ryan: Didn't you hear? I'm innocent, they found no proof.
Nick: Eh, it doesn't matter, I won the last three and I plan to win every one after that.
Nick began to walk away.
Ryan: Hey Nick, how's your dad doing?
Nick stopped for a moment and Ryan could see that his fists were clenched with anger. He continued to walk away and Ryan smirked and continued to watch the duel.
Colin: And now I activate the Spell Card Inferno Fire Blast! I can now deal direct damage to you equal to my Red-Eyes' attack! SO GO, INFERNO FIRE BLAST!
The Red-Eyes shot out a giant fireball that passed Jinzo and hit Edwards, inflicting him with 2400 points of damage.
Colin: And that will end my turn!
MC: Wow! Just listen to this crowd! Colin's first hit hits Edwards hard! Will he be able to come back from this?
Edwards (LP 5600): *draws* I summon Dark Tinker (Lv.2 1000/1300)! And then I'll tune my Level 2 Dark Tinker with my Level 6 Jinzo in order to Synchro Summon Robotic Barrel (Lv.8 2800/2700)!
A giant, dragon-like tank with a 20-foot turret and a mini-gun attachment appeared on the field.
Colin: *thinks: My Robotic Barrel!*
Edwards: Now Robotic Barrel will attack your Red-Eyes!
Robotic Barrel's turrets and mini-gun started to rotate in preparation for its attack.
Colin: I activate my Trap! Short-Circuit! This cancels your Machine's effect and lowers its attack by 500 points! And that'll be enough for my Red-Eyes to counterattack!
Robotic Barrel's attack decreased to 2300 and it fired its guns at Red-Eyes, but it dodged it and countered with Inferno Fire Blast, destroying it and inflicting 100 points of damage to Edwards.
Edwards (LP 5500): Damn it all! I set one more card face-down and end my turn!
Fan girls: Go, Colin go! Go, Colin, go!
Jeremy: If I know Colin, he's going for the big hit next turn.
Ali: But will that be enough?
Jeremy turned and saw Ali standing by him.
Ali: Edwards stole Colin's cards and he's using them against him, right? Don't forget that Edwards has his own cards that he can use in this duel.
Jeremy: Yeah, I figured that when he summoned Dark Tinker, but I'm not worried. Colin's got a combo coming up that's going to blow everyone away.
Ali had an intrigued look on her face, wondering what that combo could possibly be.
Ali: *thinks: Is he going to summon Machine Overlord?*
Colin: My turn! *draws* I'll summon Mechanicalchaser (Lv.4 1850/850) in attack mode and two cards face-down! And I'll have my Red-Eyes attack you directly!
Edwards: I activate Scapegoat! Now I can summon 4 Sheep Tokens to protect me!
The Inferno Fire Blast from Red-Eyes hit one of the Sheep Tokens, destroying it. Mechanicalchaser destroyed another one, leaving Edwards with 2 Sheep Tokens.
Colin: Then I'll end my turn!
Ali: Well, that was impressive…
Jeremy: Just wait, he's setting up for it.
Edwards: *draws* I activate the Spell Token's Offer! This allows me to Tribute Tokens to summon a higher Level monster from my hand. And I'll sacrifice both Sheep Tokens to summon Perfect Machine King (Lv.8 2700/1500)!
Colin: *thinks: Again, that's my monster.*
Edwards: And since you have Mechanicalchaser, Perfect Machine King gains 500 attack points! Now, Perfect Machine King, with your newfound power, take down that Red-Eyes Black Dragon!
Perfect Machine King was about to punch Red-Eyes, but its attack was stopped short.
Colin: I activate the Trap Negate Attack! This protects me for another turn!
Edwards: Fine, I end my turn then!
Colin: *draws* First things first, I activate my face-down Trap Metalmorph! And I'll equip it to my Red-Eyes to Special Summon the Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon (Lv.8 2800/2400)! And now I'll activate from my hand Polymerization! I'll fuse the Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon with the Summoned Skull in my hand to Fusion Summon the Metal Black Skull Dragon (Lv.10 3400/2700)!
Edwards: Smart, but futile! Perfect Machine King gets 500 attack for every Machine, or did you forget?
Colin: No, I didn't forget, but my Dragon's ability allows me to take half of the points of a Machine I control and add it to my monster! I'll take 925 from Mechanicalchaser so I can increase Metal Skull Dragon's attack to 4325! And he'll attack Perfect Machine King!
Metal Black Skull Dragon fired a molten fireball which destroyed Perfect Machine King and dealt 625 points of damage to Edwards.
Colin: And since Mechanicalchaser's all but weakened now, I'm afraid I'll have to sacrifice him to summon my dear good friend Dark Magician Girl (Lv.6 2000/1700)!
DMG: Oh, it feels good to finally get back on the field!
Colin: Don't get used to it. You're going back into the Trunk the instant I get my cards back.
DMG: T_T Why are you so mean to me?
Colin: I'll place one card face-down and that will end my turn!
Edwards (LP 4875): *thinks: I'm tired of playing these stupid games!* *draws* I activate Recruitment Process! I can summon as many Level 3 or below monsters as I want from my hand or Deck as long as I pay 500 Life Points! I'll pay 1500 to summon One-Eyed Shield Dragon (Lv.3 700/1300), Yomi Ship (Lv.3 800/1400) and Man Eater Bug (Lv.2 450/600)!
Colin: I do not like where this is going.
Colin looked over at Dark Magician Girl and she looked almost terrified.
DMG: He's gonna summon him.
Colin: Him? Who him?
Edwards (LP 3375): Now I sacrifice all three of these monsters-
Jeremy felt a chill run up his spine because he could sense something was about to happen. Rita finally made her way into the stadium and the first sight she saw was Edwards tributing his three monsters. And a blinding white light consumed the stadium.
Edwards: -HORUS, SON OF OSIRIS (Lv.12 3700/3400)!
A man with a falcon head, dressed in Ancient Egyptian garbs and a golden staff with a crescent moon on the end of it.
DMG: So that's why…
Colin: That's why what?
In the stands, Krystal was sitting in one of the seats, watching the duel. She could feel the pain coming from Horus, as if the card was in pain and it knew what was going on was wrong.
Edwards: And now, Horus's effect now activates! He now destroys every monster on your side of the field in attack position and half of their original attack power is deducted from your Life Points!
Horus held out his staff and from the tip, lightning shot out and it struck Metal Black Skull Dragon and surrounded Dark Magician Girl.
Colin: I activate the Trap Card Interdimensional Matter Transporter! This removes a monster on my field from play for a turn! And I choose Dark Magician Girl!
Dark Magician Girl vanished into thin air while Metal Black Skull Dragon was destroyed, inflicting 1700 points of damage to Colin.
Edwards: And now Horus will attack you directly!
Horus did the exact same thing to Colin and he lost 3700 Life Points. The fierce shockwave from the attack caused Colin to fall back on his feet.
Edwards: Hahahaha! Tell me, how does it feel to face a creature with so much power you can't possibly hope to defeat it?
Colin (LP 2600): You can beat anything if you know the proper weakness. *thinks: Problem is, I have no freaking idea what this thing's weakness is!*
Colin got to his feet and shook the cobwebs off, so to speak. Meanwhile, Rita finally met back up with Jeremy and Noticed Ali was with him.
Rita: Hey Jeremy what's–what's she doing here?
Ali: I just wanted to see if your friend is skilled or just lucky.
Rita: 'My Friend' has a name you know! And he is a skilled duelist!
Ali: We'll see won't we?
Jeremy: *Thinks: Oh, I hope this doesn't become a regular thing…*
Colin: So tell me, did you steal this card? Or did you rip it off some poor duelist?
Edwards: I don't know what you're talking about.
Colin: Cut the act! You sent your goons to attack my friends, just for their cards! I know all about your Group and it makes me sick!
Edwards: So? So we stole some cards, kick around a few duelists and they go missing afterwards, So what? There is nothing you can do about it!
Colin: There's plenty I can do about it! I will start by winning and taking that card back to where it belongs! *draws*
Dark Magician Girl reappeared on Colin's field.
Colin: *Thinks: I didn't want to do this…but I got no choice.* I first activate the Spell Card Plentiful Bounty, which lets me draw until I have 6 cards in my hand! *draws 6 cards* I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Robotic Engineer!
Robotic Engineer came back on Colin's side of the field from Edwards's Graveyard.
Colin: I now activate the Spell Card Lucky Revival! Now, I'll flip a coin! Heads, I can bring another monster back from the Graveyard! Tails, I have to send a monster on my field to the Graveyard!
Colin flips the coin into the air and the stadium was hushed silent. It seemed like it would take an eternity for the coin to land. When it did, it landed on heads.
Colin: Yes!
The coin grew large and turned into a portal, and Dragonic Machine King came out of it.
Colin: And now, I tune the Level 4 Robotic Engineer with the Level 8 Dragonic Machine King to Synchro Summon the ultimate weapon of mass destruction! MACHINE OVERLORD (Lv.12 4000/3800)!
The Stadium shook violently, and people's popcorn and drinks actually fell over as the Mighty Machine Overlord appeared onto the field. The Giant Bulky Robot covered in Silver and Red Armor had a V like eye slit which looked across at the opposing Horus.
Edwards: Horus can still destroy all Monster in attack position!
Horus shot lightning from his staff at Machine Overlord, but it just bounced off its armor. Machine Overlord brushed off where it hit like nothing happened.
Colin: Machine Overlord can't be destroyed by Monster Card effects! And also, if any Spell or Trap that negates one of his attacks, that card is automatically negated! Nut here's my favorite effect! I can remove one Machine from my Graveyard and Machine Overlord gains half of that monster's attack!
Machine Overlord punched his fists together, Metal Black Skull Dragon was removed from play and Machine Overlord gained 1700 attack points.
Colin: MACHINE OVERLORD, TAKE DOWN HORUS!
Machine Overlord charged up, flew across the field and struck down Horus, inflicting 2000 points of damage to Edwards.
Colin: DARK MAGICIAN GIRL, FINISH HIM OFF!
Dark Magician Girl used her Dark Magic Attack on Edwards, reducing his Life Points to 0. The crowd exploded in cheers for the final outcome.
MC: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! The sheer power of this duel just makes someone wanna scream!
Colin's fan girls: XD !
MC: Kinda like that!
Rita: YES! See that Ali? That was skill!
Ali: Luck! He had to flip a coin!
Rita: Why do you act like that? Act all tough like a solider of war?
Ali: Because life is tough!
Ali walked away and Rita gave her a glare as she walked away.
Rita: What is her problem?
Jeremy: I don't think it's her problem.
Rita glared at Jeremy.
Rita: -_- Wanna say that again?
Jeremy: *Sweatdrop* Noooo….
Colin was so excited that he pounded the ground because he defeated a very evil opponent.
Colin (LP 2600): YES YES!
Edwards (LP 0): Well then, time to go.
Edwards turned and began leaving the stadium and Colin got to his feet and started chasing him. But before Edwards got to the door where he could get away, Edwards was struck by a baseball bat in the face and fell backwards. The guy holding the bat was Derek.
Colin: Nice swing. You nailed him good.
Derek: That's what family's for.
