Throwin' Down with the Sacred Beasts (1)

Previously…

"Silent Swordsman LV5 is unaffected by your Spell Cards so Gravekeeper's Servant is useless," said Yugi. Silent Swordsman, end this duel! *X's LPs drop to 0*

"Aw right Yugi!" said Joey. Now I can duel again!

"No, I lost to a kid!" said X.

"A kid named Yugi Muto, da King of Games," said Joey. *Elsewhere…*

Now for the next match up of the KC World Cup!" said Roland. Selector start! *Balls bounce around and one falls out* The first duelist is… Jaden Yuki!

"Time to throw down!" said Jaden.

"His opponent is….," said Roland. *Balls bounce around and one falls out* Kagemaru!

"Let's do this!" said Jaden.

"Indeed and I will defeat you!" said Kagemaru.

"Not gonna happen," said Jaden. It's time to thrown down! I'll start with this, three face downs ends my turn. (3)

"My move," said Kagemaru. I play Fallen Paradise, giving me 2 cards once per turn like right now. Next, I activate Ectoplasmer, Swords of Concealing Light, and Chain Energy. You don't need to worry about their effects for I send them to my Graveyard for Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (4000) in Attack Mode.

"A Sacred Beast on the first turn?" asked Syrus. Aw man, I hope Jaden finds away to destroy it.

"I set 1 card and end my turn," said Kagemaru. (2)

"My go," said Jaden. I play Neo Space, getting rid of your Field Spell! *Fallen Paradise is destroyed* Then, I play Fake Hero, allowing me to play Elemental Hero Neos (2500) in Attack Mode. Next, I play Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab (0500) in Attack Mode. Now it's Contact Fusion time!

"Contact Fusion!" said Kagemaru shocked.

"Flare Scarab and Neos go back to my deck for Elemental Hero Flare Neos (2500) in Attack Mode," said Jaden. Oh and Neo Space gives my Monster a boost of 500 points! *Air Neos' ATK rises to 3000*

"Doesn't matter for Hamon's stronger still," said Kagemaru.

"Yeah well my Monster gets 400 ATK for every Spell and Trap Card out like Neo Space and our face downs! *Jaden sets a card and Flare Neos' ATK rises to 4600* Flare Neos, take out Hamon! *Hamon is destroyed and Kagemaru's LPs drop to 7400* That ends my turn. (0)

"I set 2 cards face down and end my turn," said Kagemaru. (1)

"I play Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600) in Attack Mode," said Jaden. Sparkman, direct attack!

"I activate Chain Burst, dealing 1000 damage to any player that activates a Trap Card," said Kagemaru.

"Sparkman, direct attack!" said Jaden. *Kagemaru's LPs drop to 5400*

"I activate my other Trap Cards, Spellbinding Circle and Shadow Spell," said Kagemaru. My card now deals me 2000 damage but thanks to Shadow Spell, Flare Neos can't attack or change modes and loses 700 ATK while Sparkman can't attack by Spellbinding Circle's effect. His LPs drop to 3400 while Flare Neos' ATK drops to 3900.

"I end my turn," said Jaden. (0)

"I activate Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards," said Kagemaru. Then, I set 1 card face down and play Monster Reincarnation, discarding Call of the Haunted to return Hamon to my hand and ending my turn. (0)

"I play Pot of Greed also, letting me have 2 more cards," said Jaden. Next, I throw down a face down and summon Elemental Hero Clayman (2000) in Defense Mode and switching Sparkman to Defense Mode. I won't let the Sacred Beasts defeat me! (0)
