Me: I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I SUCK AT WRITING DUELS KAY?! I'M SO SORRY! I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH ZEXAL! I'M SORRY!

Anyway, Astral's not here today. So, onto the story. I already did the disclaimer when I panicked.

Chapter 14: Dueling Decking Graveyarding Destroying And Any Other Words That Relate To Duels

"DUEL!"

Gatherer: 4000

Kurokurai: 4000

"I'll go first! Draw!" The Gatherer shouted and drew his card. "I set three cards facedown and end my turn."

"Heh? You really do only use spells and traps! That's too weak to work on me! Draw! I summon Darkness Eye in attack mode! I set two cards facedown and end my turn!"

"You say my dueling style is weak while you play the same way. My turn. I draw. I play the spell Wave Motion Cannon. Then I play Oozaki! You take 800 points of damage!"

A fireball shot out of the spell that just appeared on the field and burned Kurokurai.

Gatherer: 4000

Kurokurai: 3200

"Is that it?!" Kurokurai recovered quickly and shouts.

"I end my turn with that."

"It's my turn! Draw!" The black leader drew his card. "Darkness Eye's effect! Since it was in attack mode during my standby phase, I can special summon a monster without tribute summoning! I choose Darkness Bramble! Now I summon another Darkness Eye! Darkness Bramble attacks you directly!"

"I activate my trap, Mirror Force! Since you attacked me, I can destroy all the monsters on your field!"

"Darkness Aura activates!" The equip trap appeared on his field. "I'm equipping this to Darkness Bramble, and now he can't be destroyed by spells or traps!"

"But your two Darkness Eyes are destroyed!" The Gatherer pointed at the large eye, which exploded from the trap. "Now you can't summon more powerful monsters on your next turn!"

Kurokurai started laughing. "You've just sealed your fate! I activate my trap, Deck Destruction Virus! Since you just destroyed Darkness Eye, ten cards in your deck go to the graveyard! I choose all the spells!"

"What?!" Ten spells flew out of the Gatherer's deck and into his duel disk's graveyard.

"I'm not done! I activate another Deck Destruction Virus! I had two Darkness Eyes, and since the other one was also destroyed, another ten cards in your deck go to the graveyard! This time it's the traps!"

(A/N: In real life Deck Destructin Virus sends a random 10 cards but for this duel I'm just saying that you can choose it's just for the purpose of this duel do not mix this up with real life thank you bye bye!)

Ten traps flew from the Gatherer's deck into his graveyard. He scowled under the cloak's hood.

"Now I set three cards facedown and end my turn! Darkness Bramble's effect! At the end phase of my turn, if I have less than 4000 life points, my life points automatically go up to 4000!"

Gatherer: 4000

Kurokurai: 4000

"That means the Gatherer has to beat him in one turn or else that Darkness Bramble will restore his life points right away!" Tetsuo exclaimed.

"That's not good-ura!" Tokunosuke shouted.

"It's my turn! Draw!" The Gatherer looked at his hand. The two Deck Destruction Viruses had destroyed most of the spells and traps in his deck, and if he used monsters people would recognize him. There was still a spell and a trap in his hand though, along with a monster. The spell Darkness Aura made it so Darkness Bramble couldn't be destroyed, but if he targeted the spell instead….

"I play the spell Cyclone! But sending one card in my hand to the graveyard, I destroy one card on the field!"

"Darkness Bramble can't be destroyed by spells or traps!"

"I'm not targeting Darkness Bramble! I'm targeting Darkness Aura!" The equip spell exploded, along with the purple aura around the monster.

"What?!"

"Now Darkness Bramble can be destroyed by spells and traps! I activate the spell Raigeki! Now Darkness Bramble is destroyed!"

A bold of lightning suddenly struck the plant, which exploded with a screech.

"Yes! It's gone!" Kotori cheered.

"And the spell Wave Motion Cannon is all set up on his field!" Tetsuo pointed out.

"Right! To summarize, when four turns have past, he can remove that card from the field, causing 4000 points of damage to the weird man wearing black!" Takashi explained.

The Gatherer looked at the field. There were two spells and traps on his field, including Wave Motion Cannon. This was the first Standby Phase. If he just held out for three more turns…..

"I activate the spell Swords of Revealing Light! Now you can't attack me for three turns! I end my turn with that."

"Fine! It's my turn! Draw! I set a monster in facedown defense position and end my turn!"

"My turn! Draw!" Second standby phase. "I end my turn."

"It's my turn! Draw! Two more turns until that card wears off! I summon Darkness Seed! Now I flip Stealth Bird face-up! Stealth Bird's effect! Now you take 1000 points of damage!"

"What?!"

The blue bird sent a gust of wind towards the Gatherer.

Gatherer: 3000

Kurokurai: 4000

"And Stealth Bird can be flipped back face-down. So his effect can be activated again next turn! I set one card facedown and end my turn there!"

"It's my turn! I draw!" Third standby phase. Next turn he would be able to win! "I set a card and then activate the trap One For One! For every card in my hand I discard, I can destroy one spell or trap on the field! By discarding the two cards in my hand, your two facedowns are destroyed!"

The two traps exploded with a boom. "I end my turn." Just one more turn!

"It's my turn! Draw!" Kurokurai grinned evilly. "I'm flipping Stealth Bird face-up again! That's another 1000 points of damage to you!" Another fierce gust of wind was pushed against the Gatherer.

Gatherer: 2000

Kurokurai: 4000

"Now I summon Ancient Brain! I play the spell Star Changer! This changes Darkness Seed to level three! I overlay my level three Stealth Bird, Ancient Brain and Darkness Seed! I build the overlay network with these three level three monsters! Exceed summon!"

A dark, pulsing black blob of slime appeared onto the field. "Appear! Numbers 94!" The slime grew two eyes and its mouth grew fangs. "Darkness Reflector Slime!"

"2500 attack points!" Kotori yelled.

"It's still okay! The Gatherer still has Swords of Revealing Lights! It won't be able to attack!" Tetsuo reminded her.

"I play the spell Heavy Storm! Now all spells on the field are destroyed!"

"What?!" A large storm swept up the area, destroying every spell and trap in the area. Wave Motion Cannon and the glowing swords around Kurokurai's monsters disappeared, along with the last trap the Gatherer had.

"Nyo way!" Cathy screeched.

"The two cards he needed to win!" Kotori shouted.

"They're gone!" Tetsuo yelled.

"Now there's nothing stopping me from finishing you off!" Kurokurai yelled triumphantly. "Darkness Reflector Slime! Attack him directly!"

There were no cards in his hand. No cards on his field. Wait, he still had that! He was risking a lot, but it would make him survive this turn!

"From my graveyard, I activate the effect of Tasuke Knight! When I have no cards in my hand, I can special summon him and end the battle phase!" A magic circle appeared on the field and the robotic knight rose up onto the field. He clapped and the vibrations stopped the slime from reaching the Gatherer.

"Tasuke Knight?!" Kotori looked at the monster, then at Tokunosuke. From the look on his face, she knew that he also recognized that card and the combo.

"Yuma!" She yelled.

Me: Well there we go! Now, uh, since Astral isn't here, I guess I have to remember everything. So, I think I promised something to everyone who guessed who the Gatherer was! Now, uh, gimme a moment…..

(some time rustling through previous chapters later)

Oh. I promised a Little Sister Fanfic to everyone who guessed the right person. ALL MY POOR REESES CUPS! UWAAAH! I LOVE THEM SO!

Um, I counted up who guessed Yuma and I got 9 people. Oh gods…..

But then, I still have to keep my promise. If you guessed Yuma, then you can send in an idea or have us do one of our ideas or just say its okay my little sister doesn't have to do it so she won't attack me.

Yeah…..

Wow. I'm actually missing Astral. This is weird. Unfortunately he's stuck fused with Yuma in Zexal mode in the Sphere Field with evil Dr. Faker who's acting like a ballerina.

I'm kinda spoiling episode 67. But Dr. Faker really does look like a ballerina from the right angle! It's funny!

So, review! I'll continue the chapter next duel, I-I mean, duel next chapter! I'll continue the duel next chapter! I'm not good with talking for long times cause eventually I start ranting and then I hardly ever stop and then I forget to breathe and then I take weird breathes at weird places but you guys can't hear it cause I'm actually just typing everything I'm saying and ACK I BIT MY TONGUE I BIT MY TONGUE!

R-Review. My little sister's gonna be so angry that I told you guys I would make nine Little Sister fanfics. Maybe if I sneak away now….

Review!
