Chapter twenty-one) looking for answers
Previously on tales from duel academy, Amy managed to win the duel against Marin, so she won the glove, while Marin got a card as a consolation prize. Amy may have won however she was so exhausted she fainted. She then found herself in a strange place where she lost what she thought was a shadow duel, however it was only a bad dream, We'll re-join the story a few days later during class..
Class had just started about ten minutes ago. A lady with short black hair and black eyes was teaching the class.
"One way to change the tide of a duel is equip cards, would anyone like to explain what an equip card is," the teacher asked as she looked around the classroom looking for the right person to pick to answer her question when she noticed the strange glove on Amy's hand.
"Amy," the teacher stated.
"An equip card is a spell card that you attach to a monster when you activate it, equip spells do various things, most give the monster an ability or extra attack or defense points, however some can have negative effects on the monster it's attached to," Amy stated.
"That's true, though what is the meaning of that glove you are wearing," the teacher asked?
"I'm not quite sure all I know is I can't remove it," Amy replied.
"Stuck on your arm, yeah right slacker you're just trying to get attention by wearing what looks like a millennium item," Chazz stated.
"I'm not lying I won it in a shadow duel, I know that one wasn't a dream, it hurt," Amy replied.
"Yeah right slacker I say it's a fake," Chazz commented.
"Well fake or not I must insist that you not wear it in class," the teacher stated.
"I can't remove it, it's stuck on my hand," Amy stated.
"Yeah we tried for the longest time to get that thing off," Marin commented.
"Well if that's the case maybe you should see Chancellor Sheppard about it then, we'll let him decide if that glove is really a mystical item," the teacher stated.
"Is it all right if I go with her," Marin asked.
"You may, though if that thing really is some kind of Millennium item I want a full report on it when you get back, I take a great interest in these kinds of things," the teacher stated.
"It's a deal," Amy replied.
Marin and Amy silently made their way to Chancellor Sheppard's office.
"You have been accused of disrupting class by wearing a fake millennium item, this is a very serious charge," the Chancellor stated.
"It's not a fake, I wouldn't do something like that," Amy replied.
"Then you won't mind if I have a closer look at that item of yours," Chancellor Sheppard stated.
"Sure, though I should point out it's stuck on my hand," Amy replied.
"It's stuck on your hand, how did this happen," Chancellor Sheppard asked.
"I don't know after I won the glove in a duel it was placed on my arm, I tried to remove it later but it won't budge," Amy replied.
"I'll be the judge of that," Chancellor Sheppard stated.
Amy walked over to the chancellor's deck, he then closely inspected the glove, he then tried to remove it form her arm however it didn't budge.
"After inspecting your item, it's clear it's not a fake," Chancellor Sheppard stated.
"Do you know anything else about the glove," Amy asked?
"No, I heard stories that claim a new set of millennium items were forged on a secret uncharted island, what you have is most likely one of them," Chancellor Sheppard explained.
"If this is relay a millennium item doesn't that mean I'm in danger," Amy asked.
"Not at all, we're on an island and we have plenty of security, you are safe here at duel academy," Chancellor Sheppard stated.
"Thanks, I feel much better knowing that," Amy replied.
"You can return to class now," Chancellor Sheppard stated.
Amy and Marin then returned to the classroom. When they entered the room the teacher stopped what she was doing and asked "So is it real, does it have an amazing power like allowing you to control the cards you draw?"
"It is real but I have no idea how to use it, I also don't know what it does," Amy replied.
"It lets you see me," Pikeru said smartly.
"I know now, it allows me to see White Magician Pikeru," Amy stated.
"That's all, very disappointing, she's not even a strong monster," the teacher commented.
"Hey I am too strong and that's not it, it allows you to see duel spirits," Pikeru explained.
"Sorry it allows me to see all duel spirits not just Pikeru and she says she is strong," Amy stated.
"If you want a healing monster use cure Mermaid, she has more attack points and twice the healing power," the teacher commented.
"I'm better if you have more monsters out," Pikeru commented.
"She's always like that I think she has something against monsters with less then 1,500 attack points, if I can find a copy of your card at the card shop I'll add you to my deck," Amy stated.
"Thanks," Pikeru replied.
"Hey boss why don't you talk to me as often as she talks to Pikeru," Ojama Yellow asked as he popped out of Chazz's deck.
"Because you're annoying, leave me alone," Chazz replied.
"You have a duel spirit, that's pretty cool," Amy commented.
"That's enough, all students and duel spirits be quiet and let me teach," the teacher stated.
The class then laughed.
Jennifer was walking trough the woods towards the location where the glove was found.
"When I get to that cave Zombyra had better have answers, I know there's more to the glove then what Amy claimed Pikeru told her," Jennifer thought as she approached the cave duel disc ready.
After entering the cave Jennifer exclaimed. "Zombria show yourself I want answers, I demand you tell me everything you know about this so-called Millennium glove."
"What are you doing here," a voice commented from behind her.
"Looking for Zombyra, because of him a friend of mine has a weird item attached to her hand and she's freighted so I came back for answers," Jennifer stated.
"Is that so, well your deeds deserve retribution, we duel," he told her.
He had on a long cape with black clothes on underneath. His hair was black with streaks of sliver and brown. He had a duel disc on and a spiked golden object on his right shoulder.
"Fine but if I win you must tell me everything you know about the item," Jennifer stated.
"You mean items and sure but if I win you take me to the one who has this one," he told her.
"Very well who shall go first," Jennifer asked?
"I'll let you go first," he stated.
(Jennifer 5,000 LP that guy 5,000 LP)
Jennifer drew her starting hand and smiled.
"I'll start with Big Shield Gardna in defense mode," Jennifer stated.
A warrior with wild hair holding a massive shield apeared on the field. (def 2,600)
"I'll place two cards face down and end my turn," Jennifer explained.
"Is that all, well whatever I draw," he commented.
"I start with Shadow Slayer in attack mode," he told her.
A fiendish monster holding a sharp blade appeared. (atk 1,400)
"Is that suppose to scare me," Jennifer asked.
"It should, if all of your monsters are in defense mode this monster can attack you directly," he explained.
"I'm still not afraid of it," Jennifer replied.
"Shadow Slayer attack her directly," he ordered.
"Not this time, I activate my trap card Draining shield now I gain life points equal to your monster's attack points," Jennifer explained.
The fiend leapt forward and slashed only to be stopped by a barrier. (Jennifer 6,400 LP)
"Oh well, now I activate Kaiser Coliseum and end my turn," he stated.
A large row of stands appeared around them.
Jennifer then drew a card to start her turn.
"I'll tribute my big shield for my favorite monster Total Defense Shogun," Jennifer explained.
A warrior wielding one of three swords and a shield, his cape billowing behind him appeared on the field (atk 1,550 / def 2,500)
"Nice move I suppose," he commented.
"You probably already know my Total Defense Shogun can attack while in defense mode so I'm going to attack your Shadow Slayer," Jennifer stated.
The warrior slashed at the fiend destroying it. (That guy 4,850)
"That should do for now," Jennifer stated.
"Well I guess it is my turn now, I draw," He stated.
"First I play Chosen One now I pick one monster card in my hand and two spells or traps, you than must pick one. If you pick the monster I can summon it to the field," he explained.
"Very well, I pick the middle card," Jennifer stated.
"Great, you chose Invader of Darkness," he told her.
A large caped figure appeared. Thee gold colored fiend parted his cape and laughed. (atk 2,900)
He then discarded the other two cards which were Rain of Mercy and Big Burn.
"Next I play Card of Sanctity now we each must draw cards until we have six cards in our hands," he explained.
"Next I tribute my monster for Great Maju Garzett in attack mode," he exclaimed.
A horrific fiend with bony arms and a fowl visage appeared and roared (atk 0)
"You tributed for that, why it has no attack points, maybe you should attend a few classes at duel academy," Jennifer commented.
"I don't need any, Great Maju Garzett attack becomes twice that of the monster I tributed," he explained.
His monster flexed his mussels and roared even louder (atk 5,800)
"That's a lot of attack points, it looks like I need to activate my trap card Wall of Reveling Light with this I pay an amount of life points and you are only allowed to attack with monsters that have more attack points then the amount I pay. Since I want to stop big and creepy from attacking I'll pay six thousand life points," Jennifer stated.
A massive wall of light shot up in front of her and her monster, his monster growling angrily. (Jennifer 400 LP)
"I'll place two cards face down and end my turn," he stated.
Jennifer then drew a card to start her turn.
"I activate pot of greed, with this I can draw two more cards," Jennifer stated.
"Well I activate the trap card Tower of Babel after four spell cards are activated this tower will collapse and the person who played that spell card will lose three thousand life points," he explained.
A large stone tower shot up in the center of the coliseum.
"Well that was only one so I can still play Level Limit Area B, this spell forces all level four or higher monsters into defense mode," Jennifer explained.
The walls of the strange complex appeared around the two duelists just inside the coliseum, the tower penetrating the top of the level limit
Great Maju Garzett) def 0
"Now that your monster is in defense mode it does not stand a chance Total Defense Shogun attack Great Maju Garzett," Jennifer ordered.
Her monster swung his sword slewing the fiend.
"Anything else you want to do," he asked?
"Yes there is, since you have no monsters Kaiser Coliseum no longer prevents me from summoning, so I'll summon Spirit of the Breeze in attack mode," Jennifer stated.
The winged fairy appeared smiling (atk 0)
"And to be safe I'll place a card face down," Jennifer stated.
"There I have a six thousand point wall protecting me and Spirit of the Breeze will regenerate my life points, his strategy may be strange, though I finally have things under control," Jennifer thought.
"I end my turn," Jennifer stated.
"My move, I draw," he commented.
"I activate pot of greed," he stated before drawing two cards.
"Next I remove all three fiends in my graveyard from play to summon Dark Necrofear in defense mode, he told her.
The creepy blue fiend appeared kneeling. (def 2,800)
"That was a pretty smart move," Jennifer commented.
"And I'm not even done yet, I activate my trap card Rivalry of Warlords," he stated.
"What does that do," Jennifer asked.
"It's simple both of us are only allowed to have one type of monsters out at a time so you have to choose between the two of yours," he explained.
"Since I only have one fairy in my deck I'll chose warrior," Jennifer stated.
Her shogun turned on her fairy and slew it.
"Good choice, with that I end my turn," he stated.
Jennifer then drew a card and sighed.
"There's nothing I can do, so I end my turn," Jennifer stated.
He then drew a card to star his turn.
"I set one monster in face down defense mode and end my turn," he stated.
A face down card appeared next to Dark Necrofear in defense mode.
Jennifer then drew a card to start her turn.
"I'll place one card face down and end my turn," she stated.
"I draw, I'll place one card face down and end my turn," he stated.
"Now it's about time I do something," Jennifer said as she drew a card.
"I activate the spell card graceful charity now I draw three cards before sending two to the graveyard," she stated.
"You fool now the tower crumbles and you take all the damage," he commented.
Jennifer gasped as the tower collapsed on her, however the holograms did not fade away. (Jennifer 400 LP)
"If you're wondering why I took no damage it's thanks to my trap card Trap Board of Eraser, it negated the damage I should have taken, but that's not all you are now forced to discard a card from your hand," Jennifer explained.
"Fine," he said as he discarded Grand Tiki Elder.
"With that I end my turn," Jennifer stated.
"I'll play one more face down and end my turn." He stated.
Jennifer then drew a card and smiled.
"I give my Total Defense Shogun shooting star bow, this lowers its attack by one thousand points, though it's worth it because now my monster can attack you directly," Jennifer explained.
He swapped out his sword for a bow and arrow. (Atk 550)
"Is that all," he asked?
"No I have more I also give my Total Defense Shogun Rod of the Mind's Eye now every time my Shogun deals damage to you, you will lose one thousand life points," Jennifer stated.
He loaded his bow with the rod of the minds eye.
"Total Defense Shogun attack him directly," Jennifer ordered.
He fired the rod at him as though it were an arrow (that guy 3,850 LP)
Then the shogun snapped his fingers and the rod returned to him.
"I end my turn," Jennifer stated.
"Well my move," he said as he drew a card. He then told her "this ends now first I activate Metal Detector, this card negates all continues traps for one turn, next I play mystical space typhoon on your Level limit area B," stated.
A gust of wind blew forward shattering her level limit.
"I'm still safe I have a monster in defense mode and with 2,500 defense points I'm still safe," Jennifer stated.
"Not enough first I play monster reborn on your sonic duck," he stated.
A duck with a bucket on its head and a scarf around its neck appeared on the field with a quack (atk 1,700)
"How did you know that was in my graveyard," Jennifer gasped.
"You know, I…well I really don't have to explain that," he replied.
"Next I tribute both Dark Necrofear and Sonic Duck for Maju Garzett," he told her.
This fiend was similar to the other one, he roared as well. (atk ?)
"I'm still not afraid, my monster is in defense mode so no matter what its attack becomes I'll take no damage," Jennifer commented.
"Well first of all its attack is equal to the combined attack of both of the monsters I tributed," he explained.
His monster flexed his mussels and roared even louder (atk 3,900)
"Second of all I activate Metorain this card allows all monsters on my side of the field to pierce defense for one turn," he told her with a smile.
"Well it looks like I'm going to lose, you played a great game," Jennifer commented.
"Now crush her monster and deplete her life points," he ordered.
Energy formed in his monsters hand and he hurled a burning meteor at her monster shattering it. (Jennifer 0 LP)
"I lost, now I can only hope this does not mean big trouble for Amy," Jennifer thought
To be continued…
Well there you have it a new chapter sorry about the delay, I really mean that. I'll work on improving the pace of new chapter submissions, also I'll try to remember to update my profile more often, anyways the story continues in the next chapter which will be called "mystery"
Chapter note) the effect of Metal Detector was changed slightly from it's TCG form, cards with similar effects will have the same change made to them if they end up being played.
