Hello, everyone! I'm back! My New Years was good! I got to see my family! We made it! 2012 is here! Well, on to the next chapter!
Thank you anonymous person! Yeah, we haven't got to see Brad's Deck until now! I think this Zombie Deck is a really good Deck! As far as the Agents go, I've been trying to see where I could put them in this fanfic, but my answer is yes! They'll be in here! Thanks for your compliments!
Oh, and just so there's no confusion, I changed the last chapter a bit. I made a mistake. At the end of the turn Brad destroyed Dark Necrofear with Ryu Kokki, Brad's Life Points said 2100, when they should've said 1100. So, I changed it.
"Now, let's continue this duel!" (Hugo:3300/Brad:1100)
"I draw!" Hugo said snapping off his next card. He looked at it, and smirked.
"Just play your card!" Brad commanded.
The smirk on Hugo's face grew bigger. "You asked for it! I activate End of the World!"
Hugo then placed the card in one of his unoccupied Spell/Trap Card Zones. Immediately, the sky turned blue. There was also some lightning in the sky.
"End of the World is a Ritual Spell Card! By sending monsters to the Graveyard whose total Level equals eight or more, I can summon either Ruin, Queen of Oblivion or Demise, King of Armageddon!"
Hugo then selected a card in his hand, and discarded it to his Graveyard. The card was slowly sucked in.
"I'm sending Ruin, Queen of Oblivion to the Graveyard to summon my almighty Demise, King of Armageddon (ATK:2400/DEF:2000)!"
The lightning in the sky grew fierce. A lightning bolt crashed down from the sky onto the field. From the lightning, a new monster appeared. This new monster was about ten feet tall, and wore dark colored armor. Along areas of its armor, there was white trimming, and white armor around its shoulders, elbows, and hands. The creature had a white head, with white and black horns on the sides of its head. The creature was wielding a powerful axe in both hands with blades on both sides.
"How foolish! Since your Demise is a Level eight monster, my Burden of the Mighty card reduces your monster's Level by 800, making Vampire Lord stronger than him!" Brad said.
(ATK:2400-800=1600)
Hugo then chuckled loudly. "Oh, Brad! You have no idea what you're up against! You think that pitiful spell is enough to stop Demise? Well, you're sorely mistaken! It's true that your pathetic vampire is stronger, but by paying 2000 Life Points, Demise can destroy every other card on the field!"
"Say what?"
"Demise, activate Field Annihilation!" Hugo ordered.
The tall, black and white armored creature raised its axe in the air, and held it there for a moment. The creature then swung, and dropped its powerful axe on the ground. A blue circle slowly formed around both duelists. The blue circle seemed to be made out of fire.
"I activate my face down!" Brad shouted as he pushed a button on his Duel Disk, making a card flip up.
"I activate Emergency Provisions! By sending spells and traps on my field to the grave, I gain 1000 Life Points for every one! I'll send both my Burden of the Mighty, and Spirit Barrier to the Graveyard! That means that I gain 2000 Life Points!"
The spell and trap card images on Brad's field disappeared into particles. His Life Point counter then rose up from 1100 to 3100. Although, that didn't stop a tower of blue flames from shooting up from the circle. The fire swallowed up the vampire in the purple clothing, and the leftover Emergency Provisions card. The tower of flames soon died down, leaving only the black and white armored creature, unfazed. Brad then looked over to see if the crib his baby cousin was in was still there. The crib was still there, unharmed.
Chuckling, Hugo shouted "Since your Burden of the Mighty isn't on the field, my Demise gets his points back!"
(ATK:1600+800=2400)
"There's nothing to stop me now! Demise, pound him into the ground with Axe of Malicious Intent!"
Reacting to Hugo's command, the tall armored creature swung its axe, and sent out a bow of blue flames towards Brad. The bow struck Brad, making him groan in pain. The fire from the bow then began surrounding Brad's feet. Suddenly, a tower of blue flames shot up from the ground, burning Brad's clothing, and body. Brad cried out as his Life Points dropped drastically. There was smoke fuming off his clothes, and bruises on his clothing. He knelt down on one knee, while trying to catch his breath.
Hugo once again chuckled. "If you were smart, you'd stay on the ground, and give up! You can't defeat me!"
Brad struggled to stand to both feet. Hugo looked on to watch as Brad struggled. Brad finally stood to both feet, while his legs wobbled a bit.
"Why get up? Why keep fighting?" Hugo asked.
Brad then laughed. While dusting off his clothing, Brad smirked and said "You must have no clue who you're up against! Who do you think I am? Some wimp?"
"Honestly, yes! That's exactly what all of you pathetic Lost Angels are to me! You're nothing, but a bunch of insignificant wanna be heroes that are soon going to fail in saving that pathetic world you dwell in!" Hugo declared with a serious tone.
"Well, I hate to break it to you, but you're very wrong!"
"I'm wrong? Well, humor me! Prove to me that I'm wrong!"
"End your turn then!"
"Fine!"
Hugo then picked out a few cards in his hand, and placed them into his Spell/Trap Card Zones.
"I'll end with four face down cards!" (Hugo:1300/Brad:700)
Elsewhere, in another dimension, the dark figures from before were seen still sitting around the table, watching the duel between Hugo, and Brad.
"I have to admit, Hugo is doing a lot better than I thought he would." The female said.
"You see, Kristina? You have nothing to worry about! Hugo may be arrogant, and ambitious, but he can hold his own in a duel! Let's just hope he doesn't fail us like the others have!"
Back at the duel, Brad snapped off his next, saying "It's my turn!"
Immediately, in front of Brad, a brown coffin appeared from a strange mist.
With a puzzled look, Hugo asked "What's that?"
Brad smirked, saying "You'll see!"
The top of the coffin slowly slid open. Emerging from the inside of the coffin was a vampire creature wearing purple clothing, a purple cape, brown shoes, and had sharp fangs, claws, and teal colored hair.
"I destroyed him! Why is he back?" Hugo asked.
"Don't you know anything about vampires? They can't be destroyed! Due to the effect of my Vampire Lord, whenever he's destroyed because of my opponent's effect, he returns during my next Standby Phase!"
"Fine! I'll just take him out, once and for all next turn!" Hugo said with a smirk.
Smirking, Brad said "No, you won't! I'm trading in Vampire Lord for something else! If Vampire Lord is on my field, I can remove him from play, and summon Vampire Genesis (ATK:3000/DEF:2100) from my hand!"
The vampire creature evilly smiled at Hugo, and vanished into thin air. Appearing on the field was a huge purple monster. It was a gargoyle like creature with huge purple muscles, and strong legs. He had sharp claws, sharp teeth, what looked like red pincers around his upper body, and dark strange dark colored wings on his back. The monster roared as he made his presence known.
"3000 attack points?" Hugo said in shock.
"Yes! Now, to put them to use! Attack his King of Armageddon with Cursed Wind!"
The muscular purple creature roared at Brad's command. His body then vanished into a strange, dark colored visible wind. The wind then charged over towards the black, and white armored creature on Hugo's field. The wind formed a column around the black, and white armored creature, and swallowed him whole. Hugo grunted as he felt a sharp pain go through his chest. He knelt down to one knee. The dark wind then went back over to Brad's field, forming the muscular purple creature.
Brad then began laughing. "Maybe you should be the one to give up!"
Hugo then began chuckling at Brad's declaration. "You know, you're really something!"
"Yeah, I know I am!"
"Not that! I mean, how can you continue going on with this duel? How can you continue going on in life knowing that it's not the way you want it?"
With a serious face, Brad asked "Where are you getting at?"
"I know all about your miserable life! I know what your life is like! About you not having your father around! I know more than you think!"
"Me, and my mom already talked about that! There are some things in this life that you just have to do! I may not be excited about not having him around, but I believe my mom when she says that he still cares about his family!"
Hugo then laughed. "Brad, don't be naïve! You, and I both know that your father doesn't care about his family! If he did, don't you think he would be here? Don't you think he would be there for his son, and his wife? It's too bad he isn't here! Fortunately, he's not here to witness you losing!"
Brad didn't have anything to say. He was in complete shock at what Hugo said.
Hugo then evilly smirked. "Oh, what's wrong? Did I hurt your feelings? Well, whether you want to believe it or not, it's true, Brad! Your father cares nothing about you! That's the reason why he even took the job! He went ahead, and took it while he still had the chance! That, my friend, is the truth!"
"Could he be right?" Brad thought to himself.
"But don't worry, Brad! I know that deep down, you're unsatisfied with the way things are going in life! So, let me just do you the honors of defeating you in this duel! Maybe then, you won't have to deal with the fact that you don't have a father figure in your life, and the fact that your mom is so demanding!"
Brad took in everything Hugo was saying, and felt miserable. He then took a look over at the crib that was still there. Hugo took a look over at the crib too.
"And don't worry about your cousin! He's not even old enough to know who you are to him! No one will miss you! Trust me!"
Hugo then pushed a button on his Duel Disk, making a card flip up.
"I activate The Grave of Enkindling! If one of my monster's gets destroyed in battle, both of us can summon a monster from our Graveyards in defense mode! I choose my Demise, King of Armageddon (ATK:2400/DEF:2000!"
Materializing on the field was the black, and white armored creature in a kneeling position.
"I choose Pyramid Turtle (ATK1200/DEF:1400)." Brad said.
Materializing on the field was the familiar huge, brown turtle with the huge yellow pyramid on its back.
"I end my turn." Brad said, with a touch of sadness in his voice. (Hugo:700/Brad:700)
"Good! I draw!"
"I activate one of my traps! It's called Reckless Greed! Now, I can draw two cards! Unfortunately, I have to skip my next two Draw Phases!"
Hugo then drew two more cards from his Deck, and evilly smiled.
"I'll now play both of my traps cards! They're both traps called Level Retuner! Level Retuner is a trap that allows me to select one of my monsters, and decrease its Level by up to two until the End Phase! For both of them, I'll choose two! So, Demise's Level decreases by four!"
"I'll then summon Dark Resonator (ATK:1300/DEF:300)!"
A small, short creature with no feet appeared on the field. It levitated in the air. It wore a dark blue, cloak that was maroon around the collar. It had a grey head, with a wide grin, showing its teeth, and solid red eyes. In its right hand was a yellow stick with two pointed ends, and a grey stick in its left hand with a blue ball on the tip of it.
"Now, I'll give my Demise a tune up! I'll tune my Level three Dark Resonator with my Level four Demise, King of Armageddon!"
The small, short creature with the two sticks disappeared and was replaced by three huge green rings. The rings formed a column around the black, and white armored creature. Its body then slowly became transparent. In a matter of seconds, its whole body became transparent, and then vanished completely. The only things left behind in the air were seven balls of light that were aligned next to each other. The balls of light then exploded, sending out a blinding light. He light made Brad shield his eyes with his arm, while Hugo looked on, smirking evilly. Once the light died down, Brad uncovered his eyes, and saw a new creature. This new creature was tall, and wore grey, black and gold colored armor. He wore puffy, grey pants, had chains around his upper body area, black, and gold armor around his shoulders, a blue cape, and in both hands, he wielded a powerful medieval looking weapon that had a long curved blade on the end of it.
"Feast your eyes on my Dark Highlander (ATK:2800/DEF:2300)!" Hugo shouted.
Brad only looked on at the new creature, not having anything to say.
Hugo then picked out a card from his hand, and placed it into his Duel Disk.
"I activate the Equip Spell Card Megamorph! I'll equip it onto your Vampire Genesis!"
With a puzzled look, Brad simply asked "Why are you equipping it to my monster?"
"You'll see! The thing about Equip Spell Cards is that you can not only equip them to your own monsters, but you can also equip them to your opponent's monsters! Although, Megamorph does nothing since our Life Points are equal! However, I am able to activate the effect of my Dark Highlander! I can choose a monster on your field that's equipped onto an Equip Card! Every Equip Card equipped to that monster gets destroyed, and for every Equip Card, my opponent takes 400 points of damage!"
The black, grey, and gold armored fiend then glowed with a dark colored aura. The spell card image of Megamorph soon glowed with the same aura, and shattered immediately. The dark aura soon surrounded Brad's body, almost engulfing him completely. He groaned in pain, and held his chest as his Life Points dropped a bit. Brad then knelt down to one knee.
Hugo then began laughing again. "I'm not done! I activate Dark Energy! A Fiend-Type monster equipped to this gains 300 attack and defense points!"
The black, grey and gold armored fiend then began glowing with a green aura as his attack power rose up a bit. (ATK:2800+300=3100/DEF:2300+300=2600)
"Now, take out his Vampire Genesis with Malevolent Slash!" Hugo ordered, pointing at the huge muscular monster across the field.
Reacting to Hugo's command, the armored fiend ran across the field, and swung its powerful halberd, slashing the muscular purple creature across the chest. The monster groaned, and then shattered, causing a huge explosion. The explosion knocked Brad off his feet, and made him fly backwards a few feet. Brad then struggled to get up from the ground, but couldn't. Hugo then laughed at the state, Brad was in.
"Have you learned your lesson yet? Now, maybe you'll stay down!" Hugo said, while laughing.
Brad then tried once again to stand up to his feet. He managed to slowly stand up to his feet, but wobbled a bit. He was breathing heavily as smoke was fuming off his singed clothing.
With irritation in his voice, Hugo shouted "What is it with you? Why won't you just give up already?"
Brad then took a look at Hugo, and smirked. "I already told you! I never give up! You have a lot of nerve telling me those things about my family! You know nothing about my family, and you never will once when I get finished with you!"
"So, you actually believe your family still cares about you?"
"I know they do! Just because my father isn't here with us now, doesn't mean that he doesn't care about us, or isn't thinking about his family! And my mother may be demanding, but she's still my mother, and I love her, and she loves me! Your head games aren't going to work on me anymore!"
Hugo then growled. "Whatever! Just go so I can end this duel quickly!" (Hugo:700/Brad:200)
Brad then snapped off his next card from the top of his Deck. "It all comes down to this draw!"
Brad then took a look at the card he drew, and smirked. "Just the card I needed! This duel is over!"
"Go ahead, and try!" Hugo responded.
"Oh, I will! Don't worry! I activate the Field Spell Card Zombie World!"
A slot opened up on the end of Brad's Duel Disk. He gently placed the card in the slot, and watched as it slowly closed. The duel field became dark, and gloomy. There were dying trees and skull heads surrounding both duelists. Although there were no tombstones, the field spell gave it the appearance that they were in some sort of Graveyard.
"Next, I'll summon the Tuner monster Plaguespreader Zombie (ATK:400/DEF:200)!"
Emerging from the ground, was a small, zombie creature. It had huge muscles, a deformed face, a tail, and wore a tattered white shirt. The monster let out an eerie moan as it made its presence.
"If you're thinking about using a Synchro Summon, then you can forget it! As long as Dark Highlander stays on the field, neither player can Synchro Summon!" Hugo shouted.
Smirking, Brad replied "Luckily for me, I have a card in my hand that says otherwise! I activate Forbidden Chalice! A monster on the field gains 400 attack points for the duration of the turn! I'm choosing your Dark Highlander!"
The black, grey, and yellow armored fiend groaned, and glowed with a white aura as its strength rose up a bit. (ATK:3100+400=3500)
"The other effect of Forbidden Chalice negates the effect of the monster that was affected by it! So, I can now Synchro Summon! I'm going to now tune my Level two Plaguespreader Zombie with my Level four Pyramid Turtle to Synchro Summon Doomkaiser Dragon (ATK:2400/DEF:1500)!"
The small, purple zombie creature moaned again, and then disappeared, being replaced by three green rings. The rings formed a column over the turtle. Its body began becoming transparent, until it completely vanished. The only things left behind in the air were six balls of white light that were aligned next to each other. The balls of light exploded, sending out a bright light.
"Meet my Synchro monster!" Brad shouted.
Appearing on the field was a huge grey, and white dragon. The dragon had huge grey wings trimmed in white. Its appearance made it seem as if it had just came back from the dead. The dragon also had a long, powerful tail, an orange core in its chest, and yellow eyes. The dragon let out a massive roar, shaking the entire duel field.
Hugo then laughed. "You had me going there for a second! I thought you were going to summon a monster that could hold its own against Dark Highlander! But it seems like all you've managed to do was waste a move summoning something weaker than my monster!"
Smirking, Brad replied, saying "We'll see! I'll now activate Doomkaiser Dragon's ability! Whenever I summon it, I can Special Summon a Zombie-Type monster from my opponent's Graveyard!"
"I don't have any Zombie-Type monsters in my Graveyard! So, its effect is useless!"
"Not quite! That's why I have Zombie World in play! As long as it's on the field, all the monsters on our fields and in our Graveyards become Zombie-Type monsters! So, I'll summon Demise King of Armageddon to my field (ATK:2400/DEF:2000)!"
From a flash of light, the black, and white armored creature appeared onto Brad's side of the field next to the dragon.
"Now, I'm going to activate the last card that's in my hand! I play Gift of the Martyr! I can now tribute a monster on my field, and add its attack points to another monster on my field!"
"No way!" Hugo shouted as he took a step back.
The black, and white armored creature then vanished into gold particles. The dragon on Brad's field glowed with a gold aura and roared as its strength increased. (ATK:2400+2400=4800)
Taking another step back, Hugo said "Come on! Let's talk about this!"
"There's nothing to talk about? I win! You lose! Doomkaiser Dragon, attack with Thunderforce Cannon!"
The orange core of the grey, and white dragon's chest began glowing. The dragon opened its mouth, revealing orange energy. The energy began building up, and without warning, it was shot out of the dragon's mouth, aiming for the black, grey and yellow armored fiend. The blast struck the fiend, causing an explosion. The ground shook after the explosion ensued.
Hugo's Life Points dropped to zero. Both duelists' Duel Disks died down, and the field cleared.
"No, you can't defeat me!"
Very bluntly, Brad replied "I just did!"
Both Hugo and Brad's wings disappeared. Hugo's body then began glowing white, signifying that it was his time to leave the world that they were in.
"This isn't over, fool! My master will destroy you! He'll destroy all of you!" Hugo angrily shouted as his body began vanishing.
In a matter of seconds, his body vanished completely. The only thing left behind was his cloak, which dropped to the ground.
Brad then took a sigh of relief. "It's over!"
Brad's body then began glowing white also. Soon, he and his baby cousin reappeared back into the home that they were in before they left. The baby crib was back into its original spot; with Brad was standing in front of the crib. The baby woke, and began crying. Brad picked up his baby cousin, and held him in his arms, and patting his back.
"It's alright. Everything's fine, Elijah."
Brad finally got Elijah to calm down, and stop crying. Brad only stood there, holding his cousin in his arms.
Elsewhere, the dark figures were still sitting there around the table. The head dark figure that was sitting in front of the table pounded on the table with his fist.
"I knew that he'd fail you, master." The female said.
"It seems as though they're a lot stronger than I imagined!"
