Chapter 13: Ultimate Teamwork, Dragon Lords, come forth!
The field remained how it was; Rafael's dragon and both synchro psychic monsters were left in the ground because of the gravity force exerted in the field. Rafael looked quite nervous as well as Mina, the duel wasn't going pretty fine and they could get in troubles quickly if Sayer and Seria got any more monsters in the field and got rid of Mina's trap card "Mister Sayer, how are we going to get through that bind?" asked Seria a bit concerned.
"Let me handle it." Replied Sayer smiling "For now, I guess it's your turn Rafael, don't disappoint me any further please."
Rafael simply got pissed off, yet he knew Sayer's words were true. "Fine, my turn!" he said while getting his card and trying to figure out a way out. "For now, I'll bring Horus, the Black Flame Dragon level 4 to the field in attack mode!" he said, as the small silver dragon landed in the field "Next, I'll play a face down and call my turn."
"I see you fear us now, how disappointing." Said Sayer, drawing his card "I'll summon, Krebons in attack mode!" he said, as a strange purple joker-kind monster appeared in the field, laughing while playing with numbers and strange green energy spheres. "I'll end my turn for now, but first setting this face down."
Back in the seats, the group was getting nervous of how things were going. The best cards that either Mina or Rafael could pull would get blocked by the trap card Mina played, at least until it was destroyed for good, assuring attacks from both sides at any moment. Alan then noticed a great concern in Sara's expression, letting him know something could go wrong.
"Hey sis, is something wrong?" asked Alan nervous
Sara couldn't help but remain silent for a while; until she finally said it "Something else is working around here." She said turning to her twin brother and quite nervous "I have a bad feeling; something pretty close to the shadows is working around here." She said, turning to the battlefield, as she saw shadows surrounding both sides involved in it.
Emily and Alan also turned there, feeling a strange energy there. "Sara is right, Alan." added Emily, sensing something odd in the air "I have a strange feeling in this, like if the…"
"Like if the fiends were here?" asked Alan, interrupting his girlfriend "I can sense it too, I thought I was the only one." Blair's group was a bit confused of what they were talking, except for Blair who heard those stories from Jaden and Rafael in Duel Academy.
"Guys, could you fill us in? We want to know what's going on." Asked Jean curious
"You see," said Alan serious "while we were studying in our school some odd things happened every now and then, but we discovered something of great importance for humanity's sake."
"You see, during Rafael's last year in school, before he entered Duel Academy, something happened." said Sara looking really down "During that year, the Fiends made a move with the army under the Archfiend King's control. We learned of the organization called Paladin of Lights then, when he was told he would be the leader as soon as he was older."
"But what do those fiends have to do with this?" asked Carl confused
"Well, they are looking for three cards under Rafael's care." added Alan "Those cards are their leaders, the mighty Wicked Gods."
Blair simply got really astonished to hear the name of those cards; she had only heard legends of them while studying in Duel Academy "I never thought they could be real…those cards…I mean, weren't they sealed…in ancient times?" she asked confused.
"Well, they were." Added Sara "Until an old foe of us released them a few years ago. They have been under Rafael's care ever since."
"Are those the cards he has right now, bet in this duel?" asked Jean worried
"Yes they are." Replied Sara
Mina-Rafael, 8900LP; Seria-Sayer, 9300 LP
"My turn! Shouted Mina, getting her card "I'll activate the Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy my Gravity Bind!" a powerful typhoon appeared from space, storming the bind and releasing from its powers the strong monsters that both teams had in the field. She then turned to Rafael, who smiled at her immediately "Then my magicians' effects activate, once again altering the game points!" Sayer's team received 900 damage points, while Mina's got 1200 life points "Now I'll sacrifice my two magicians to summon Ice Queen in attack mode!" from two energy spheres coming from the magicians', a new sphere began to form, as a blue skinned woman with a white dress, purple fine gauntlets and an ice staff appeared in the field "Time for our return!"
Sara and Alan got really amazed; seeing how Mina brought a tougher monster to the field "This could be it!" shouted Alan anxious "They can turn the tides of the duel now!"
"Ice Queen, attack that skull thing with Blizzard Storm!" shouted Mina, as the queen rose her staff and called forth a powerful blizzard that greatly hit Sayer's synchro monster, destroying it utterly and delivering 200 extra damage "Not yet! Now with my partner's dragon I'll destroy that psychihc blaster and reduce it to ashes!"
"Blue Eyes White Dragon!" shouted Rafael lifting his right hand and turning to Mina "Attack with Burst Stream of Destruction!" shouted both Mina and Rafael as the dragon harnessed a lot of power and fired all its might at the robotic creature.
"but wait, they have the same amount of power!" said Seria confused
"Not at all!" replied Mina, revealing a face down card of hers "I activate Miniaturize, which reduces you monster's level by one and it's attack by 1000 points!" suddenly a strange purple aura surrounded the psychic robot, as it lost firepower. The dragon's fire beam crashed with the energy beams shot from the robot's weapons, until the robot lost power and the robot got destroyed by it, delivering some further damage to the psychics.
"Excellent work Mina!" shouted Rafael, greeting his partner. Mina simply smiled back at him, as Sayer looked really frustrated "That's Sector securities' work together!"
"I finish my turn with that move." Added Mina pretty happy
"Then…I go!" said Seria trembling, once Sayer heard her like that, she got even more worried. Her hands were tied as well as Sayer's, their strongest monsters got reduced to bits in a single move. "I…I don't have much left, save from this card." She said, setting a monster and ending her turn
"Then I guess it's my turn now!" shouted Rafael, while sensing something in the card he got "Time to finish this Sayer! I'll summon my Tyrant Dragon in attack mode by paying 1000 life points thanks to my mausoleum and Horus lv 4!" shouted Rafael, as another huge dragon appeared before them. A giant brown colored dragon with large wings and two horns coming from its head, roaring fiercely with flames surrounding it "Then I'll activate a trump Spell card, Tyrant's Ultimate Power!" he said while playing a card that had Tyrant's dragon and another dragon in the image.
"What do you intend to do with that?" asked Sayer nervous
"This card allows me to attack all monsters my opponent control, one at a time, but without a chance of attacking directly this turn." Replied Rafael smiling "I know of Krebons skills, which let you block attacks for 800 LP, your choice if you want to lose it or risk your LP to the very end!" his dragons immediately attacked, as Tyrant Dragon destroyed the face down Seria played, which was Genex Controller and Blue Eyes destroyed Krebons in a single attack. "So, no LP payment, but you lose all monsters. I think you're now against the ropes. I finish my turn."
"Fine!" shouted Sayer, drawing his card and grumbling a bit "I guess I'll activate my trap card, Call of the Haunted to bring back the powerful Thought Ruler Archfiend!" shouted Sayer angry, as a tombstone appeared by his side and from it, the spirit of the powerful synchro monster that was destroyed earlier "So, why don't we make this even funnier? I'll play the spell, Miracle Synchro Fusion!"
"What are you trying to do Sayer?" asked Mina a bit worried
"Nothing out of the common." He replied smiling deviously "Just bringing a heavy hitter prototype known as, Ultimate Axon Kicker!" shouted Sayer, as a huge vortex took inside the synchro monster as well as a minor psychic monster, as a shadow figure began forming in it, as a huge monster that looked like Thought Ruler Archfiend, except for the fact of missing its legs and look even more ferocious roared, getting to the field, still weak to face the white dragon.
"Sorry to disappoint you," interrupted Rafael "but that thing is not capable of taking out my dragon."
Sayer simply smiled deviously "Seria, I don't need your help anymore." Seria got a bit disappointed but did as she was told, with her cards still in play "I'll get this duel to a new height Rafael, you're done for now!"
Rafael, let me handle this. said Dread, appearing as a ghost behind Rafael.
Dread? What's the matter? Replied Rafael
Things may go wrong from here onwards; I don't want you to get hurt. Replied Dread serious
"Very well." Said Rafael, as he began harnessing energy inside of him Just one thing, sweep the floor with him for me, will ya? Wind began running surrounding Rafael, as he opened his eyes with different colors, like the time he faced Belial. "I will, definitely."
"So, the bad guy shows his face right?" asked Sayer sarcastically "nice to see you Dread, would you care to take your friend's place in this duel?"
Dread simply grumbled a bit, then turning it in a smile "Of course, you will see my true power and skill now." He then turned to Mina, who looked rather confused and nervous "Mina, I suggest you leave this to me, this will be really dangerous."
"A-alright Rafael." She replied, noticing the tone of voice of her partner and leaving her cards too.
"Fine Sayer, let's go on now…" said Dread until he noticed that both team's LP were down to 4000 once again "Only a coward would play a dirty trick like that, why do we have our partner's cards in play?"
"Because it doesn't affect the game, I'll still win." Replied Sayer, revealing a face down trap card he had "A nice trick like the one you played a while ago, Miniaturize." The white dragon then began weakening, as the fusion monster was eager to fight "Now Axon kicker, finish that annoying dragon for good!" the huge monster then launched a powerful psychic beam was thrown at the dragon, destroying it utterly, delivering damage to Dread.
"And now, I get 2000 Atk points while you receive a damage of 1000 points." He then realized something odd in the numbers of their LP, as they didn't move higher or lower "What did you do now?"
"Surprised about it?" asked Dread making fun "Watch my face down card, Dragoon's Veil!" he said, revealing a card with a dragon humanoid moving a cape to protect dragons behind him "You see, whenever a dragon is destroyed in battle, all effects of other cards are deactivated, while I get to summon a Dragoon monster from my deck." A card appeared from inside Dread's deck as he reached it and placed it in the disk "Come forth, Dragoon Swordsman!" a tough warrior, wearing dragon scales as armor with wings behind him appeared in the field, wielding a shield and sword of the same material.
"Then I end my turn." Replied Sayer frustrated
"Then it's my turn!" said Dread, drawing his card "Time to finish this, I'll activate Hand Destruction to send my 4 cards to get 4 new from my deck, like you should Sayer, but with the number of cards you have." both players threw their hands and got the new ones "Next I'll activate my Dragoon Reinforce spell, by sacrificing a monster I can get a new Dragoon monster, like my Dragoon Apprentice!" the small and young warrior appeared in the field, bringing a new monster with him "Now, with its effect I bring back Masked Dragon for a synchro summon with my swordsman, come forth Dragon Lord-Dragoon Master!" the dragon warrior appeared from a sphere of wind, magnificently as it landed in the field "But that's not enough yet! By tuning it with my apprentice, I'll bring one of the strongest Dragoon monsters!" from the light coming from the synchro summon appeared a shadow figure that moved as light to the air at the roof level "To protect justice and life from destruction, roar with the power of fire and shine as bright as light!" the figure then began landing, as it began gaining a white silverfish armor, revealing a humanoid with dragon wings "Synchro Summon, Dragon Lord-Dragoon Knight Lord!" the humanoid then opened its wings, revealing a tough sword with a dragon's head as a shield.
"What do you plan now?" shouted Sayer nervous
"With him, I can negate the effects of one monster at a time and reduce its attack to 0!" the dragoon then launched a strange energy at the axon kicker, weakening it quite a lot to the point it landed to the ground, exhausted "Now, for each dragon and warrior type monster in my graveyard, my Knight Lord receives a 300 boost in attack!" the dragoon then harnessed energy from the monsters in Dread's graveyard, rising its strength to 5500 Atk points "Time to end this duel Sayer, attack Axon Kicker with Shinning Dragon Nova!" the dragoon then harnessed a lot of energy in its hands creating an aura surrounding the dragoon, as it simply jumped in the air and rushed to crash with the axon kicker, destroying it and finishing Sayer's LP. When the dust ceased, Dread left Rafael's body, as Sayer was left kneeled in the floor quite angry and frustrated.
"We made a deal Sayer, now let us go." Said Rafael, as his friends stood anxious and happy in the seats.
"I can't." replied Sayer angry
"Sayer, don't be a bad loser, let us go now!" shouted Alan angry
"He can't, because I will take this building to the Shadow Realm." said a voice from a dark cloud that began forming in the room "Nice to see you Rafael, but I want those cards and I will have them one way or another." said the man standing there, Kasumi.
New Cards
Dragoon Veil, Trap Card
When a dragon type monster is destroyed by battle, you can activate this card. Effects outside of Battle Damage are negated. You can Special Summon a Dragoon monster from your Hand or Deck.
Tyrant's Ultimate Power, Normal Spell Card
During this turn, you can attack all monsters your opponent controls, one at a time. During this turn you can't declare a Direct Attack.
Sayer had to make a bad move like that, that's just the way I see him in the series. Anyways, it ends up being that he worked under Kasumi (which was told sometime ago) but even threatened, you'll later see why.
Anyways, the next duel will also be divided in two parts and it will be a real Shadow Duel, like those Yami Bakura/Zorc used to like in the past, until next time.
