And here we are people! It's a new year and also the final Singles Division Semi–Final match for the School Duel before the Singles and Tag Team finals! And this one's gonna be good. Thanks to Wild Fang for helping me out with this duel! Couldn't have done it without you. So let's get going!
Disclaimer: Same thing.
Last time, on Kamen Rider GX, the Singles Division semi–final match between Duel Academy's representative Jaden Yuki, and South Academy's representative, Koji Shinamori began with a bang, and even though it was fun and funky during the entire duel, Jaden Yuki picked up the victory and is now a finalist in the Singles Division. But now, it's time for the last Singles Division semi–final match. It will be between East Academy's representative Ritsu Himuro, and North Academy's representative, Chazz Princeton.
Chapter 21: School Duel Part 4
At a hallway where it leads to the platform with a Titantron screen above the entrance, Chazz was getting ready for his match. He has to win this one in order to be in the finals and go against Jaden. That way, he can get his revenge and make the Princeton family proud. But… how could he though? How could he do that without his older brothers Slade and Jagger breathing down on his neck? He kept on remembering the talk he had with his brothers in the locker room.
Flashback
Chazz sat in a locker room, with his brothers standing across from him. They wanted to have a little private chat with him before things started. "You set this all up, didn't you? This broadcast."
Slade turned to him, "Of course we did! We need to show the whole world that you're on your way to be Duel Monsters best, Chazz. It's all in the plan…"
"Yeah yeah…" Chazz looked away, "I know, I know!"
"World domination is on our grasp, Little Brother," Slade went on, "Politics, finance and Duel Monsters! If we can take them all, we can take the world! Jagger and I have done our part; it's time you come through with your part of the plan!"
"To conquer the world of Duel Monsters," Jagger urged, "To be the best! To not give up!" He glared at his younger brother, "Did you really think you could get away from your duties? Get away from us by dropping out of Duel Academy?"
Chazz lowered his head, "I… I…"
"Don't deny it!" Jagger yelled, rising to his feet, "You've always been the slacker of this family!"
Slade folded his arms, "It doesn't matter, the point is that you can still make this up, Chazz! You can still show everyone that we reign supreme!"
"That's right," Jagger reached over and picked up a nearby briefcase, "And the dueling cards in this case will help you do just that! They're the most expensive out there, so you have no excuse to lose!" he dropped the case onto the bench across from his brother, "Don't let us down, Chazz! Don't let the Princeton family down! Now get out there and win that duel!"
"It doesn't matter about that tag duel tournament, but when you win, the world will know that the Princeton's are the best!" Slade ended. With that, Chazz was left alone in the locker room; his only company was the briefcase of rare cards in front of him.
End Flashback
Chazz could only clench his fist as continued to seethe at the memory. He just has to win this one. He has to no matter what.
Meanwhile, at the stands, Jaden met up with his Duel Academy friends and Alexis's mom Natalie.
"Hey, Jaden! You did great!" Rika praised.
"Thanks," Jaden grinned. "I have to say, this was the most fun duel I've had yet, aside from getting my butt kicked during the duel… literally." He then looked at his butt and rubbed it.
"Trust me, I know how you feel." Kurogasa said. "I dueled Koji a few times myself and I was on the receiving end of that kick you took. And it wasn't pretty. Too bad for you though that that's going to be on film for all of us to laugh at, later on from now." Jaden groaned at that, making everyone laugh. Natalie's face then got serious.
"But that aside though, it's now this last Singles Division duel we have to watch." Natalie said.
"That's right. Chazz is in this one." Syrus realized.
"I wonder how he's going to do." Alexis said.
"With this duel, and about what we're hearing about the Princeton brothers, I would say that Chazz will have to pull all the stops in order to win this match." Bastion said.
"Yeah, and if he wins, then you're going against him Jaden." Chumley pointed out.
"Have you figured out what you're going to do when you duel him?" Kurogasa asked the Slifer in question.
"Well…" Jaden began, but no answer came to him.
"Hey no worries, you got plenty of time." Kurogasa assured him. "The Tag Team Final is going to be up first before you have to go."
"That's true." Jaden mused.
"But until then, let's watch this match." Zane said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is the last Singles Semi–Finals match scheduled for one fall!" Justin announced. At that point, the Titantron screen at one end of the arena showed Ritsu Himuro's name in black and blue, and the background had a gold tan colored on it, rays of light shining on the name.
(Jan Cyrka and Tony Bricheno – "The Rising")
Ritsu Himuro came out of the entrance and East Academy did most of the cheering. "Introducing first, representing East Academy, Ritsu Himuro!" Justin announced with the East Academy students cheered as their singles representatives made his way up to the platform.
"And there he is." Mason grinned.
"This should be interesting." Irwin mused.
"Yes, but my Singles Representative is going to win this one. You can count on that." Foster boasted.
"We'll see about that." Mason smirked at him.
As soon as the music died down, a red background with a picture of a black tattoo sun spun around and Chazz's name was on there.
(Saliva – "I Walk Alone")
Chazz came out of the other entrance on the opposite side and the North Academy students cheered as he stood there for a while looking indifferent from the rest of the people before making his way to the platform. "And his opponent… representing North Academy, Chazz Princeton!" The crowd cheered loudly as he made his to the platform.
Meanwhile, from the sky box, Slade and Jagger were watching from above.
"Alright, little brother, let's see if you can pull through for us." Slade said.
"He better pull through. He better win this match and the use the cards we gave him, because the Princeton family is the best in the world, so there's no excuse for Chazz to lose." Jagger added.
Back at the arena…
Ritsu and Chazz shuffled their Decks and then switched to shuffle again before handing them back their own Decks.
"Hey uh… good luck." Ritsu said.
"Che… I don't need luck. You're the one that's gonna need it." Chazz scoffed. Ritsu looked at a bit miffed about his attitude before both went to their respective sides. When they got there, both turned on their Duel Disks, the crowd cheered for their favorite side, and both players drew their starting Hand.
"DUEL!"
Ritsu: 8000
Chazz: 8000
"I'll start this off." Ritsu said drawing his sixth card. "Nice! I'll start off with this! I activate the Spell Card, Authorized Under Providence!" Ritsu declared playing the card in question. It depicted Kanji symbols of Fire, Water, Heaven, Wood, and Earth.
"What the heck does that do?" Chazz scoffed.
"It lets me Special Summon as many Monsters with "Shinken" in its name from my Hand, Deck, or Graveyard! I got two in my Hand and three in my Deck, so now I'll Special Summon them to the Field now! I'll have them introduce themselves."
"Five Monsters in one turn?!" Syrus gaped.
The card played glowed and five silhouetted people in a white kimono shirt with three of them wearing blue hakama pants and the other two wearing yellow hakama pants. At that point, the five people took out what appeared to be cell phones. "ShodoPhone!" they shouted and then transformed them, turning the items to brush. "Ippitsu Soujou!" They then wrote on the air Kanji symbols for Fire, Water, Heaven, Wood, and Earth. The kanji symbols then flipped over and glowed. A larger version of the Kanji symbols appeared behind them and enveloped the five persons all of them wearing a suit of some sort, one red, blue, pink, green, and yellow. A katana–like weapon attached to their belts and the symbol they wrote earlier went to their heads forming helmets with the kanji symbols now in black as their eye pieces.
"Shinken Red! Shiba Takeru!" The one in the red suit with the Kanji symbol for Fire introduced. (4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1000)
"The same, Blue! Ikenami Ryunosuke!" The one in the blue suit with the Kanji symbol for Water said next. (4/ATK: 1750/DEF: 1300)
"The same, pink! Shiraishi Mako!" The one in the pink suit with the Kanji symbol for Heaven announced. (4/ATK: 1700/DEF: 1500)
"The same, green! Tani Chiaki!" The one in the green suit with the Kanji symbol for Wood said. (4/ATK: 1700/DEF: 800)
"The same, yellow! Hanaori Kotoha!" The one in the yellow suit with the Kanji symbol for Earth said lastly. (4/ATK: 1500/DEF: 1700)
All but the Takeru knelt down on one knee as he announced "The Samurai Sentai under Providence!" Then the five people did a slash motion and did a pose, "Shinkenger! Going Forth!" The audience were murmuring amongst themselves at they saw.
"You've got to be kidding me…" Chazz said annoyed. "First Kamen Riders, now Power Rangers?"
"No way!" Kurogasa said rather surprised and excited. "This guy has samurai styled Power Rangers!"
"I like this guy's Deck already!" Jaden agreed.
"I'll place a facedown and end my turn." Ritsu concluded placing a reversed card on the Field.
"Seems like he's already getting a group of monsters already on the Field." Amber noted.
"Looks like it, though those aren't the only thing that he had in his disposal." Storm reminded them while looking at his teammate.
"Hah, those freaks are just like that Kamen Rider Reject's monsters! Those guys are nothing more than just an easy picking!" If they could see the faces of the Rangers, they'd be seeing the rangers glaring at Chazz. If you want to see real dueling, let the Chazz show you how!" the Chazz boasted as he began to draw his sixth card. "I'll start things off with playing Armed Dragon LV3!" With the said card placed onto his duel disk, a portal appears and a yellow dragon, coated in silver plating on its face and claws, as it yells out a roar to intimidate the enemy. (3/ATK: 1200/DEF: 900)
Sheppard gasped at the Armed Dragon, "That's not…!?"
"It is…" Foster said, with a proud smirk. "Your singles representative is done for when he faces Chazz in the finals!"
"Well, he has to win it first!" Sheppard argued.
"He's right." Mason said. "I'm confident that Ritsu will win this match."
"Wow, that guy really needs to check on his Monster again…" Syrus said with a sweat drop.
"No, he already knew what he's playing right there…" Kurogasa said with a stern tone, making the rest of the duelists looking at him.
"What do you mean?" Alexis asked.
"LV dragons have the ability to level up once it has accomplished its goal and the higher the level, the stronger the effect of it."
"In other words, the only way to stop these guys is defeated them early in the game." Zane pointed out.
"What's the point of doing that? That dragon is weaker than my samurais anyway…" Ritsu commented.
"That's what you think! When I play the Spell Card, Level Up!, I can tribute my Armed Dragon LV3, so that I can Special Summon Armed Dragon LV5 from my Deck!" The yellow dragon engulfs in the light orb, and began to shape shift into a larger form of a dragon and once the form has taken its shape, a red dragon, donned with black armor covered in spikes appeared as it gives out a roar towards the Rangers. (5/ATK: 2400/DEF: 1700)
"Not lishus…" Chumley commented from the sidelines.
"And it's about to get worse when it comes to its special ability…" Bastion added.
"Yeah, and that's always a pain in the ass." Rika finished.
"And now, it's time to Chazz it up! I'll activate its special ability! By discarding Despair of the Dark from my Hand, I can destroy a monster of yours if it's ATK points are equal or lower than the monster I tossed! So now I can burn down that red Ranger of yours out of the game! You go bye–bye!" With the activation of the card, Armed Dragon LV5 began to gather a fireball onto its mouth and aiming towards the Red Shinkenger. And with that Red Shinkenger was blown away into bits. "And if you think that's the worst, just wait 'til you see this! Armed Dragon LV5 takes out that blue ranger! Shrapnel Blast!" Everyone watched as the spikes on Armed Dragon's back shot outward like a volley of missiles and rained down upon Blue Shinkenger.
"Sorry, but I activate the trap, Negate Attack!" Ritsu declared activating his trap. "This card negates your attack and ends the Battle Phase!" A clear vortex appeared in front of the blue ranger and sucked up all the spikes.
"Lucky move! You won't get lucky next time while the Chazz is still around. I placed two facedowns and end my turn with a bang!" the Chazz boasted as he sets down his two cards.
"If he continued to let that attack taking its place, he's in for a world of trouble…" Storm added.
"What do you mean?" Amber asked.
"The higher the level, the stronger the effect. In this case, if that attack connects, it will evolve to a stronger form, making it even more difficult to counter…" Storm explain some more.
"I'd love to face that Monster, but it would be better if that duelist is a girl…" Koji said while didn't leave his gaze on the duel.
"Alright then, it's my move!" Ritsu drew his next card. "I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards." Ritsu drew two. "Next I play Monster Reborn to bring back Shinken Red!" the red samurai returned to the Field. "But I'm not done yet, next I play Polymerization to fuse them together!"
"Fuse all five?!" Chumley gaped. At that point, the Rangers jumped up and turned into large mechanical animals. A red mechanical lion, a blue mechanical dragon, a pink mechanical turtle, a green mechanical bear, and a yellow mechanical ape. The five large mechanical animals then transformed into their emblem modes showing their respective elements, fire, water, heaven, wood, and earth, they went into the vortex and a light shined. What came out of it is huge samurai MegaZord (8/ATK: 3000/DEF: 2600).
"Meet Shinken–Oh!" Ritsu declared.
"Yep, those are the specialty of Power Rangers. Converting them into a MegaZord to fight them off when things are getting out of hand." Kurogasa said with a smile on his face.
"So what? Just because they fused as one, doesn't mean they're stronger than they look! I got my own robot and heck, I don't even like the slightest when that Slifer slacker destroys it with his puffball!" the Chazz annoyed while remembering the past of doing so with his VWXYZ.
"Hey! Don't say that to my friend!" Jaden exclaimed.
"I just did Slifer Slacker!" Chazz snapped.
"Hey, you're supposed to be focused on me! Shinken–Oh, destroy Armed Dragon LV5!" Ritsu ordered. The huge samurai MegaZord brought up its sword and brought it down on the dragon. The one huge slash was all it takes to destroy the dragon in its place before it explodes after the contact was made.
Ritsu: 8000
Chazz: 7400
"Lishus! First blood!" Chumley said with an excitement.
"You'll pay for that! Now, you have officially made the Chazz go wild on you!" the Chazz declared war on him. "And when I'm done with you and that Slifer slacker, I will get all the respect that I need and deserve!"
"And that'll make our family project complete with his win in this tournament." Jagger noted.
"Respect is earned not given!" Ritsu retorted. "I end my turn."
"Oh, with that being said, I can activate this trap card, Reverse–Time!" he activates the trap card which it has the images of a few stopwatches with a dimension gap in it. "Because of this card can only be activated during your End Phase, any Monsters that was Normal Summoned, Special Summoned or Set onto the Field would be removed from play immediately! Time Warp!" the Chazz said with a smirk as a dimension gap appears right above the Shinken–Oh and sucking it out.
"No way! Shinken–Oh!" Ritsu said in shock.
"Aw, did you miss your robot already? Don't worry, when this card is played, we can get our Monsters back from the previous turn and that means I get my Armed Dragon LV5 back onto the field and you got your dimwitted slashers of yours or whatever they called it…"
"Shinkengers…" Ritsu deadpanned.
"Whatever…" Chazz scoffed dismissively. The same dimension gap lets out the previous Monsters that were on the field before, reappearing onto the Field.
"So that's why he just took the Damage! He already saw this move coming at him!" Syrus exclaimed.
"Now let the Chazz return the favor for what you did to me earlier!" he boasted as he drew out his next card from his deck and a smile appears on his face. "During my Standby Phase, I activate another trap card, Call of the Haunted! With this card played, I can Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard and let me introduce to you my Despair of the Dark!" With a quick motion, a black portal appears on the ground and a black figure crawls out from the hole and raising itself up, preparing itself for an attack. (8/ATK: 2800/DEF: 3000)
"Without further ado, the Chazz will let my Armed Dragon LV5 letting loose on your pinkie and spread my Despair onto your yellow samurai! Shrapnel Blast and Nightmare Blaster! With no trap cards in your disposal, this would hurt you… A LOT!" Under his command, the dragon shoots out spikes aiming at the Pink Shinkenger and the black orb heading towards the yellow ranger. Both of them were blasted away and destroyed into pixels.
Ritsu: 6000
Chazz: 7400
"He's really steeping it low, hurting the ladies like that…" Koji said with a sigh.
"And the worst is yet to come." Victor added.
"And at Main Phase 2, I set a facedown and during my End Phase, when my Armed Dragon successfully destroys a Monster on the Field, I can ditch it out in order to Special Summon Armed Dragon LV7 from my Deck!" the Chazz announced as the said dragon began to engulf in light orb, shape shifting into a larger version of itself before the light dimmed down, revealing a larger red dragon with more highly designed silver armor, to give it more intimidating look on it. (7/ ATK: 2800/DEF: 1000)
"Now, there's nothing you can do about it! I end my turn this way!" he said it with full of confidence and the crowd from the North Academy section began to cheer out "Chazz it up!" and it was getting louder and louder with every shout.
"CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ! IT! UP!"
"He's hanging on for now." Amber noted.
"Don't worry about him, we knew that with the Deck that he possesses, there's nothing that will stop him. I wonder what will happen when he'll face other Rangers that are famous for its bounty." Storm added while keeping a good eye on Ritsu's expressions, which he seems calm about it.
"What's the matter? Are you feeling scared now? If I were you, I would surrender this instant!" the Chazz mocked him.
"I won't lose." Ritsu said determined as he drew his next card. He smirked at what he got. "Oh, you're in trouble now. I activate the Spell Card, Solidarity!"
"What?!" Chazz roared.
"Here comes the ace in the hole…" Storm said with a smile on his face.
"If I have one original type in the Graveyard, my Monsters gain 800 ATK and since that most of my Rangers are Warrior–Type only, they got a little boost from their fallen comrades! And I have to thank you for banishing my MegaZord earlier!" Ritsu said with a smile as the remaining three Shinkengers gains a power boost.
Shinken Red (4/ATK: 1800–2600/DEF: 1000)
Shinken Blue (4/ATK: 1750–2550/DEF: 1300)
Shinken Green (4/ATK: 1700–2500/DEF: 800)
"And now it's time to enter the Battle Phase. When I enter the Battle Phase and my Shinken Blue is on the Field, my Shinkengers gain an extra 500 ATK!"
"Like I'll let that happen! If you think you're the only one that can block the attack, so can I! I activate my Negate Attack!" the Chazz said as he quickly flipped the card up and the barrier was created to protect his monsters from harm.
"Tch, too close…" Storm said as he snapped his finger.
"Grr… I'll place two facedowns and end my turn." Ritsu declared as he placed two reversed cards on the Field.
"You're not the only one who has been upgraded! Ever since I ditched this Academy, I've crawled my way up back into North Academy and become the top duelist of all time! I've got the respect that I want and I will get what I want!" the Chazz began to speak even more confidently as he draws out his next card. First off, I play Pot of Greed! With this card, I can draw two more cards!" he said as he draws another two cards from his Deck. "And now, the moment that you've been all waiting for! It's time for Armed Dragon LV7's effect!"
"Here it comes…" Kurogasa said.
"I hope that Ritsu guy survives…" Rika said in concern tone.
"I ditch out one card from my Hand and my dragon can obliterate all of your Monsters into scrap meat!" Chazz makes a gesture by pointing it at the rest of the Shinkengers as Armed Dragon began to collect the flame into its mouth and spewed it towards the rangers for their demise…
"Not so fast! I activate Threatening Roar and Skill Shock!" Ritsu said as he activated his facedown. "First, for Skill Shock's effect, I'll Tribute my Shinken Green and now Skill Shock will negate your Dragon's effect for the rest of the turn plus it cannot attack or be Tributed!" Shinken Green turned into green lightning and shot towards Armed Dragon that zapped out the flames and shocked the dragon, paralyzing it. "And just in case you try to attack with Despair from the Dark, Threatening Roar will take care of that." From inside the card, a loud roar could be heard making Chazz's Monsters back off.
"You got lucky that's all! I set my last two cards face down and ending my turn! You're only delaying the inevitable of your defeat!" the Chazz said as he set down the remaining two cards onto his duel disk.
"My draw!" Ritsu said drawing his next card. "I play Card of Sanctity! This lets us both draw 'til he have six cards." Both players drew until they had six. "Next I play Harpie's Feather Duster to destroy your Spells and Traps, and since your Call of the Haunted is still out, your Despair from the Dark is destroyed!" A huge wind picked up and it destroyed the facedowns he had and Call of the Haunted which made Despair from the Dark disappear.
"Aw yeah! Now Ritsu can attack all he wants!" Storm cheered.
"Go get him Ritsu!" Amber cheered.
"Now let's try this again! Entering my Battle Phase when Shinken Blue is on the Field, my Shinkengers gain an extra 500 ATK!"
"W–What?! N–No! I don't have the right cards that I can defend or play!" the Chazz said in a shock as the Shinkengers' aura began to rise.
Shinken Red (4/ATK: 2600–3100/DEF: 1000)
Shinken Blue (4/ATK: 2550–3050/DEF: 1300)
"Now go, Shinkengers! Take down the dragon and a huge chunk of his Life Points!" Ritsu commanded as the two of them charged at them. Shinken Blue took out a bow and arrow and drew the arrow back.
"Water Arrow!" Ryunosuke shouted as he shot the arrow while being surrounded by water as it struck Armed Dragon LV7 in the chest. It roared in pain before it exploded.
Ritsu: 6000
Chazz: 7150
As soon as that attack was finished, Shinken Red took out his katana as flame surrounded the blade and he slashed at Chazz making the latter cry out.
Ritsu: 6000
Chazz: 4050
"…Rekka Zaibatsou…" Ritsu muttered under his breath after taking out a lot of Life Points.
"YOSHA!" Storm shouted happily as the East Academy students cheered for the attack.
"Alright, that Ritsu guy took out a huge chunk of his Life Points!" Jaden cheered.
"Grr... as I said, YOU JUST GOT LUCKY!" the Chazz kept his thickheaded attitude.
"Again with the luck bit, Chazz is a broken record. That's for sure." Kurogasa shook his head.
"Yeah, that guy sure is a stuck up and I can't believe he used to be this academy's students…" Victor took a note.
"I'll end my turn there." Ritsu grinned.
Chazz began to get frustrated after seeing the attempt on making for the kill and not only that, his brothers are also glaring at him to ensure the victory on their side. "It's my move now!" he declared as he makes a draw on his seventh card and looked at the cards carefully.
"You know, this is the first time I've seen him hesitate for a moment there… that's not like the Chazz that we all know…" Syrus pondered for a bit.
"He's doing this for his brothers, and with so much pressure on him, it's only natural he'd be hesitating. Though I bet you, just by looking at his brothers, they're probably nothing but ungrateful." Kurogasa frowned as he looked at the sky box that Jagger and Slade were in.
"Sucks to be him, especially if it involves family business…" Rika added.
"You better win and made it to the finals…" Slade mutters while crossing his arms.
"We've done our part of the bargain. Now, it's your turn to keep yours…" Jagger added.
"Alright, no more mister nice guy! I've been nice with you and there's no holding back! First, I play a Spell Card, Graceful Charity! I'll draw out three cards and discard the other two from my Hand!" he said it as he demonstrates on what he just do.
"What's he doing?" Storm wondered for a moment.
"Beats me…" Amber commented.
"And now, I set a monster and lay out 5 set cards! And that will end my turn!" the Chazz does so, leaving the crowd in confusion on why he does so.
"It's clearly obvious that that's a trap Ritsu definitely would avoid. It's highly unusual for Chazz to make such a move as that one." Bastion stated.
"But still… is he really out of options or does he has other motives?" Alexis asked.
"There's one way to find out. Let's just hope that what Ritsu move is, would either causes good or bad…" Zane said.
"My draw." Ritsu drew his next card. "I'll pass this turn."
"Eh?" both of his teammates said in surprise.
"Good! I knew you would be terrified of my facedowns!" Chazz began to get confident again as he draws out his card. "I Flip Summon my Masked Dragon onto the Field! (3/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1100) and activate one of my facedowns, Twin Dragons!" he announced as he flips up a Spell Card where there were two baby dragons inside the broken egg. "When I play this card, I can select my Masked Dragon and I can Special Summon another one from my Hand!" At this point, an egg appears onto a monster field and as it cracks open, another Masked Dragon appears onto the Field.
"Okay and what was the point of that?" Ritsu asked confused.
"This! I sacrifice both of my dragons, in order to call out the newest card in my collection!" Chazz raised his hands upwards as both of the dragons were converted into light and darkness, combined as Yin and Yang. "Come out from your slumber, Light and Darkness Dragon!" The orb began to spark electricity from its place before taking shape of a dragon which is half–light with its wing being angelic and half– darkness with its wing being bat demonic. And it also has two tails as well; one for light and one for darkness. (8/ATK: 2800/2400)
"What the–!" Kurogasa gaped. "Where did he get that?!" Everyone also had the same expression that Kurogasa had.
"It's been a long time, partner…" Chazz said in a monologue as the dragon roared out towards his opponent, which leaves his opponent off guard for a moment.
"W–Where did that came from?!" Ritsu said in shock.
"I haven't got the chance to use it ever since coming to this Academy and now, it's a good time to use it! Now go, Light and Darkness Dragon, attack his Blue Shinkenger! Chaos Stream!" the Chazz shouted out loud and the dragon pulled its head to the back while gathering all of the energy of light and darkness and lashes it all out towards the ranger, blasting Ryunosuke into pixels.
Ritsu: 5750
Chazz: 4050
"I end my turn." Chazz smugly grinned.
"Ritsu, just hang in there! I know you can win this battle!" Storm shouted at his friend, which Ritsu looks at him and gave him a nod.
"You gotta use those guys so that you could turn the whole battle around!" Amber shouted at him as well.
"Them?" Syrus and Chumley said in confusion.
"What kind of 'them' are these guys talking about?" Victor asked.
"East Academy sure has a lot of surprises with new cards…" Rika noted.
"Alright it's my move!" Ritsu drew his next card. "I play Mystic Wok, tributing Shinken Red so that I gain his current ATK points!" Shinken Red disappeared and Ritsu glowed a green aura.
Ritsu: 8350
Chazz: 4050
"Crap…" Chazz muttered.
"And now I play a Spell Card, called Let's Make it Showy! This lets me Special Summon out the Gokaigers from my Hand, Deck, or Graveyard and three of them are in my Hand and the two of them are in the Deck! So come on out!" At that point, five silhouetted people appeared. They extend their right arms out to reveal Keys. In this case, their Ranger Keys pointing directly ahead. They then cross their left arm over it, holding their Mobirates phones.
"Gokai Change!"
As they bring their Mobirates to their left shoulder, they then insert the key into it, turning it as the Mobirates shouts "GOKAIGER!"
They then thrust the Mobirates forward and there is a big flash of light. Three X's and one V in the Gokaiger's colors of red, blue, yellow, green, and pink appear. The X's and the V's fly over their body and transform them bit by bit turning them into Pirate styled Power Rangers.
"Gokai Red!" (5/ATK: 2100/DEF: 1200)
"Gokai Blue!" (4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1500)
"Gokai Yellow!" (4/ATK: 1850/DEF: 1600)
"Gokai Green!" (4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1900)
"Gokai Pink!" (4/ATK: 1700/DEF: 1500)
"Kaizoku Sentai! Gokaiger!" The five rangers shouted in unison.
"Aw sweet! Now we got the pirate Power Rangers!" Kurogasa grinned.
"Great Scott! Just how in the world would he be able to summon them all in one turn? And just how many kinds of these Sentais are in his Deck actually?!" Bastion said in a surprise.
"Now, the real fun starts… he better be careful because those guys gain their reputation for a reason…" Storm added with a smile on his face.
"First, I had to face those bug–eye freaks, and then the samurais and now, these clowns of wannabe pirates?! Could this day get any worse?!" Chazz was angered after seeing his attempt for the kill backfired miserably.
"Lucky for you, I can't attack when I activated 'Let's Make it Showy'. Still, Solidarity gives them their 800 ATK points."
Gokai Red (5/ATK: 2100–2900/DEF: 1200)
Gokai Blue (4/ATK: 1800–2600/DEF: 1500)
Gokai Yellow! (4/ATK: 1850–2650/DEF: 1600)
Gokai Green! (4/ATK: 1800–2600/DEF: 1900)
Gokai Pink! (4/ATK: 1700–2400/DEF: 1500)
"Hah! Even with the upgrades that you all can get, those pirates don't stand a chance while facing my dragon!" Chazz taunted at them.
Ritsu ignored him. "I'll place a facedown and end my turn."
"And now, it's my turn!" the Chazz said as he drew the card and pointed at the Gokai Pink. "Light and Darkness Dragon burn that pink pirate to cinder! Chaos Stream!" The dragon followed his command as he rears its head back before releasing a stream of beam directly at Gokai Pink.
"Activate trap! Mirror Force!" Ritsu countered. "This will send the attack right back at you and destroy your dragon!"
"And that's where your plan backfires! When Light and Darkness Dragon is on the Field, it will release 500 ATK and DEF points in order to negate the activation of your trap! Your attack is futile!" Chazz mocked at him as thunder crashes upon the trap card, rendering it useless.
Light and Darkness Dragon (8/ATK: 2800–2300/DEF: 2400–1900)
"One problem though… your Monster is now weaker than my Gokai Pink." Ritsu confirmed it as Gokai Pink manages to sidestep and shoots out a barrage of shots at the dragon, followed by a quick slash on the dragon, destroying it in the process.
Ritsu: 8350
Chazz: 3850
"Now, he has no Monster to control!" Chumley said it with anticipation.
"Not quite." Zane reminded him.
"If my Monster gets destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon one Monster from my grave. And since I have no other Monsters in my disposal, I can revive Despair of the Dark in ATK mode!" (8/ATK: 2800/DEF: 3000) "And with no more cards to stop my advances, I can destroy your Gokai Pink with ease! Nightmare Blast!" the Chazz orders his monster as it launches a dark sphere towards Gokai Pink but he remembers something from his Hand. "Oh, just so that to make things better for me, I play a Quick Spell Card, Mystical Space Typhoon! I can destroy your Solidarity which has been a bother to me all this time!"
"Why he didn't activate it in the first place?" Syrus asked as a burst of wind destroyed the said card.
"Because Light and Darkness Dragon's effect would only get in the way… either that or he just drew that card to his Hand…" Kurogasa stated as the tornado quickly destroys the spell card.
Gokai Red (5/ATK: 2900–2100/DEF: 1200)
Gokai Blue (4/ATK: 2600–1800/DEF: 1500)
Gokai Yellow! (4/ATK: 2650–1850/DEF: 1600)
Gokai Green! (4/ATK: 2600–1800/DEF: 1900)
Gokai Pink! (4/ATK: 2400–1700/DEF: 1500)
The attack continued to go at the female ranger and was destroyed in no time.
Ritsu: 7250
Chazz: 3850
"And just set this last card in my Hand, I end my turn!" the Chazz said after setting it down before looking at his opponent with a smirk on his face.
"Oh? Seems like little bro has planned something already…" Jagger added.
"That could be it. Let's see what happens next…" Slade noted.
"Alright, it's my move!" Ritsu drew his next card. "I activate Magic Stone Excavation! I discard two cards from my Hand to bring one back, and the card I choose is Monster Reborn!" Ritsu did as the card instructed. "Now I play Monster Reborn to bring back Gokai Pink!" The said Monster returned to the Field. "Then I'll activate another Polymerization fusing my five Gokaigers together!"
"Again? Wow, that guy's sure is something! Now, I feel like I want to duel with that guy!" Jaden said in excitement.
"Don't get your hopes up just yet. Chazz still has something on his mind." Zane told him.
"Oh, not this again! All five of them combined again!" the Chazz angered for a bit as the five Gokaigers are all fused as one. Soon a big red mecha pirate ship, a big blue mecha jet, a big yellow mecha trailer, a big green mecha race car, a big pink mecha submarine appeared and combined to create one pirate MegaZord (9/ATK: 3100/DEF: 1900) "Meet Gokai–Oh!" Ritsu announced.
"Yeah? Like that thing would scare me!" the Chazz mocks Ritsu, aiming for him to fall for the bait.
"How's this for scaring ya? When Gokai–Oh is summoned to the Field, your Monster loses 500 ATK for every Monster with Gokai in its name in the Graveyard!"
"W–What?!" the Chazz pretends to be shocked as Despair of the Dark began to get weaken, as its hands are now placing on the ground.
Despair of the Dark (8/ATK 2800–300/DEF 3000)
"Lishus! With that, his robot could inflict more damage than ever!" Chumley said in excitement.
"Go get him, Ritsu!" Syrus cheered for him.
"Now Gokai–Oh, attack Despair from the Dark!" Ritsu ordered.
"You fell for it, slacker! I activate my trap, Mirror Force!" Chazz announced as he flips up the trap card, causing the barrier appears right in front of Gokai–Oh. "How do you like me now?!" he added with a smirk on his face.
"Oh, sorry forgot to tell you, he's immune to Spells and Traps when he battles."
"W–What?!" Chazz was in shock to see his plan got backfired once again as Gokai-Oh easily penetrates it while giving a big slash onto Despair of the Dark, destroying it in pixels.
Ritsu: 7250
Chazz: 1050
"No! This can't be happening!" Chazz said in frustration as he was now on his knees. "THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!"
"I think I'll go ahead and end my turn there." Ritsu grinned.
"M–My turn…" Chazz starts to shake as he draws the next card and immediately activates it. "I activate my Spell Card, Card of Sanctity! Now, both of us draw cards until both of us have six cards!" Chazz and Ritsu drew until they have six cards. A smirk came to Chazz's face.
"Ha–ha… looks like this would be the end of that kid…" Jason noted as he sits while crossing his arms.
"Yeah, if he had that kind of look, his opponent is over…" Ryan noted.
"First, I play a Spell Card, known as Premature Burial! When this card is played, I can resurrect my Armed Dragon LV5 from the Graveyard after paying 800 Life Points!"
Ritsu: 7250
Chazz: 250
With that declaration, Armed Dragon LV5 crawls out from the graveyard and gives out a threatening roar towards the Gokai–Oh.
"Why are you calling that out?" Ritsu asked.
"Prepare to meet your doom! I activate a Spell Card from my Hand, Megamorph! Since my Life Points is lower than yours, its attack is now double!" Chazz stated as Armed Dragon was getting larger, even up to the point of gaining the same size of the Gokai–Oh.
Armed Dragon LV5 (5/ATK: 2400–4800/DEF: 1700)
"This doesn't look good." Victor noted.
"Don't worry. Seems like Ritsu knows that he would survive from the battle, especially when facing someone like Chazz." Rika assured.
"I wouldn't say that for sure…" Alexis added.
"This is where it all ends! I play the Spell Card, Level Copy!" he activates a card, which surprises most of the students, other than the North Academy, knowing that the win is within his grasp.
"Oh crap, it's over…" Kurogasa cringed.
"With Level Copy, I can make a copy of another LV monster and since Armed Dragon LV5 is on the field, that's the copy that I would get!" Chazz announced as a splitting image appears next to it, even though it was smaller than the original one. (5/ATK: 2400/DEF: 1700)
"Oh boy, this doesn't look good…" Ritsu said as he took a step back.
"And just so that it would be a perfect win, I play a Spell Card, Double Attack! With this card played, by discarding a Monster from my Hand, I can declare a second attack, depending on the Monster that I discarded and since the one that I let it go was another Despair of the Dark and the supersized Armed Dragon LV5 is lower than Despair's Level, it can attack twice!" Chazz said with a smirk as a mirage of the supersized dragon appears next to it, literally overwhelming Ritsu's side.
"Yep, it's over…" Rika said.
"And now, I declare my supersized dragon to destroy your robot! Shrapnel Blast!" Chazz declared as the mirage of the supersized Armed Dragon LV5 shoots out the spikes towards the robot, destroying it into pixels.
Ritsu: 5350
Chazz: 250
"This is the end, huh?" Ritsu said while looking down.
"It's time to pull down the curtain on you! I declare both of my dragons to attack and getting rid of you once and for all! You go bye–bye!" Chazz shouted with a smirk as both of the dragons shoots out spikes directly at Ritsu
Ritsu: 0
Chazz: 250
(Saliva – "I Walk Alone")
The North Academy crowed cheered loudly as the holograms disappeared and the duels disks deactivated. Chazz's theme song played throughout the arena as Justin Roberts announced, "The winner of this match: Chazz Princeton!"
"YES!" Foster cheered jumping up from his seat.
"That was a good duel." Irwin said.
"Crap…" Mason sighed running his hand through his hair.
"Sorry Mason." Sheppard apologized.
"It's alright." Mason waved off. "I can at least win probably against your Tag Team representatives."
"Oh, but they're not easy to beat."
"Yes, I know. But I know my Tag Team Reps can pull through."
"Oh boy…" Kurogasa sighed.
"Well, looks like you're gonna be facing Chazz after all, Jaden." Rika said.
"Yep. I can't wait!" Jaden grinned. The North Academy continued to cheer for their victory as Chazz turns his head to the side and points at the Duel Academy's Singles Rep.
"You're next, Slifer Slacker!" Chazz declared as the whole stadium is filled with the chant of "Chazz it up!" repeatedly.
Okay, that's another chapter down! Hope you all enjoyed it! Next chapter, the final Tag Team match! So stay tuned and as always, review!
