The main focus of this chapter will be the duel between Jade and Haou.
Me: The following song is based off of the song "Barbie Girl."
Jaden: (singing) I'm an emo boy, I take away your joy, I'm such a let-down, I turn your smiles to frowns, my best friends are dead, I slit my wrists till they bleed red, everyone hates me, Yubel just wants to rape me.
Ed and Jade: (sweat drops) Um...
Jaden: (still singing) I'm a jerk and a twit but that doesn't mean shit, cause I'm hot and your not can you dig it?
Ed and Jade: (joining in on the song) You bastard you ran off, to Haou, you dumb goth, and we both know where he likes to stick it!
Jaden: And I cry, everyday, cuz all my fangirls think I'm gay, ooooh!
Me: Um, I don't own the song "Barbie Girl" or Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
Ayato: Nor is this song original, some words are taken from the song "Emo Boy." Which you can find on Youtube!
Me: (hits Ayato) They didn't need to know that part!
Chapter Twenty-Six: Evil Hero Versus Elemental Hero
Ayato: 4000 and Raven: 4000/Savannah: 4000 and Aria: 4000
Ayato drew his sixth card from his deck, beginning the duel. "I summon one monster in face-down defense position and end my turn by setting two cards face-down." Ayato declared.
Savannah smiled as she drew her sixth card, "If my opponent has a monster on the field I'm allowed to summon this monster, Multiplier(0/0) in face-up defense."
An x-shaped monster emerged on Savannah's side of the field, having two bulging eyes. "And when he's special summoned on the field I'm allowed to summon the other two from my deck!" Savannah declared as two more monsters appeared on the field.
Ayato and Raven frowned, knowing what was to come next.
"Now I'll sacrifice all three in order to summon my Wicked Eraser(?/?) in attack mode!"
Powerful winds swept over the field as blue flames erupted from the ground, the giant of a monster that vaguely resembled Slifer emerged from the ground, roaring loudly.
"For every card my opponent has on the field my monster gains 1000 attack and defense points." (3000/3000)
Despite his current anger, Ayato was impressed, she had managed to summon her most powerful monster with just one card.
"I'll end my turn."
Raven drew a card, 'She's not the only one who can summon her most powerful monster in one turn.' Raven thought to herself.
"I activate the continuous spell card Call of the Mummy, which allows me to special summon one zombie-type monster from my hand to the field if I have no monsters on my field, and I choose Vampire Bats(ATK:800) in attack mode."
Aria laughs mockingly, "That's it?"
"Next I'll activate Inferno Reckless Summon, which allows me to summon two more Vampire Bats from my deck!" Raven declares.
Ayato looked to Raven, 'She's going to summon the Wicked Dreadroot already?'
"Now I tribute all three of my monsters in order to summon the Wicked Dreadroot(4000/4000) in attack mode!"
A giant dark vortex erupted from the card, nearly knocking Aria off of her feet. Slowly, a giant skeleton-like creature emerged from the violent vortex. It's height matching that of the Wicked Eraser.
"Since the Wicked Dreadroot is a Divine Beast-type monster your Wicked Eraser isn't immune to it's effect, which means your monster's attack and defense is halved." (2500/2500)
"Since it's the first turn I can't do anything else, end turn."
Aria drew her sixth card, "I summon one monster in face-down defense position and end my turn by setting one card face-down."
Ayato slid the top card from his deck, 'Now the real duel begins.' Ayato thought to himself.
Dark World
Haou turns to his servants momentarily, "Interfere and I'll kill you." His servants bow, accpeting his command. Haou activates his obsidian duel disk, several buzzsaws extend from it.
The blades spin around violently before locking into position as card slots. Powerful dark winds begin to sweep the area, pushing Ed back. 'What is this?'
Jade stood her ground, being the daughter of Jaden himself, she had inherited power of her own. Activating her own duel disk she stood ready, she was going to bring her father back, no matter what.
'Just be careful.' Ed thought to himself as Jade began the duel, drawing her sixth card.
Haou: 4000/Jade: 4000
"I summon E-Hero Clayman(800/2000) in defense mode and end my turn by setting a card face-down."
Haou draws his sixth card, "I activate Dark Fusion."
"Dark Fusion? I've never heard of this card." Jade says to herself.
"Both Avian and Burstinatrix fuse, Evil Hero Infernal Wing(2100/1200)." A twisted version of Flame Wingman descends on Haou's side of the field, setting it's sights on Jade's monster.
"Attack Clayman." Haou orders.
"I activate my trap card, Sakuretsu Armor, it destroys your attacking monster!" Jade declares.
"Monsters fusion summoned using Dark Fusion can't be destroyed the turn that they are summoned by effects."
Jade looks surprised as her card is destroyed and Haou's monster smashes through her Clayman.
"When Infernal Wing destroys a monster in defense mode you take damage equal to the difference."
Haou: 4000/Jade: 3900
"You also take damage equal to the strongest stat of your monster." Haou informed her opponent as her life points dropped by 2000 more points.
Haou: 4000/Jade: 1900
"I end my turn."
Jade drew a card from her deck, slightly worried since more than half of her life points had been depleted and it was only her second turn.
"I activate Polymerization in order to fuse E-Hero The Heat(1600/1200) and E-Hero Lady of Fire(1300/1000) in order to summon E-Hero Flame Blast(2300/1600) in attack mode! Attack!"
Flame Blast burned Haou's monster's to ashes, taking a very small portion of his life points with it.
Haou: 3800/Jade: 1900
"I'll end my turn by placing one card face-down."
Haou slid a card from his deck, "I activate my Dark Fusion to-"
Jade motioned to her set card, "I don't think so, I activate my Magic Jammer!" Jade declared as she discarded the only card in her hand in order to stop the powerful fusion card.
"The card I discarded to activate my Magic Jammer was Repayment of Losses, so I draw one card from my deck."
Ed smiled, 'Without Dark Fusion, there's no way he can summon a monster more powerful than Jade's.'
"When there are no monsters on my side of the field I can special summon this monster, Evil Hero Hell Brat(300/600). Now I'll tribute him in order to summon Evil Hero Malicious Edge(2600/1800) in attack mode."
"But that's a seven star monster!" Jade exclaims.
"If my opponent has a monster on their side of the field I can summon this monster with one tribute, also, when Hell Brat is tributed for the summon of a Hero monster I draw one card from my deck at the end phase."
Jade gritted her teeth. 'This isn't good.'
"Attack her Flame Blast!"
Jade braced herself as Haou's monster ripped through her fusion monster, taking a portion of her life points with it.
Haou: 3800/Jade: 1600
"I end my turn." Haou declared as she drew a card from his deck thanks to his Evil Hero Hell Brat's special effect.
"Jade, let me duel him." Ed offered as she drew another card from her deck. "No, I have to do this myself." Jade declared as her brown eyes changed to that of purple.
Haou looks surprised as a bright light encases his body. "What is this?"
"Supreme King...no...father! I've come here to save you, you whom has fallen into the darkness, I'm going not going to give up. I'll fight you to the very end!"
Jade's powers draw Ed and herself into the dark heart of Jaden. In the vast darkness Ed and Jade float, several blank screens floating along with them.
Ed looked around, everywhere he looked there was nothing but darkness. 'Did...did Jade do this?' Ed thought to himself.
In the center of the darkness is Jaden, kneeling in the darkness. His yellow eyes holding no sign of life.
A screen suddenly comes to life, an image of Rachel appearing on it. "That's correct, he saved me from death, and took me in, for him, I will do anything, even if it means betraying my friends, that is the reason I duel. But you, you don't seem to duel for anything other than having fun, how can someone such as yourself call themselves a duelist?"
Jaden wraps his arms around his knees, "But...I...I've always-"
Another springs to life, this one having an image of Professor Viper on it. "You only duel for fun, when the fun is gone, your unable to hold yourself up."
"The expectations of everyone were what was holding me up, I've always won when it mattered!" Jaden suddenly gets up.
"But Aleixs and the others, they...they still died, why? Why couldn't I stop it, why?!"
Suddenly several images of Jaden's friends surround him but quickly shatter. An image of Haou appears. "If you want to defeat evil, then you must become evil."
Jaden calms down, accpeting these words, "Become evil."
Abruptly Ed and Jade are brought back to reality. "What...what was that? Was that...was that Jaden's heart?" Ed asks, unsure of himself and what he ahd just seen.
Jade nods, "I used my power in order to see what was in his heart. Words won't be able to bring you back father, so I'll have to do it forcefully!" Jade declares as she takes a card from her hand and slaps it onto her duel disk.
"Pot of Greed!" Jade quickly draws two more cards, bringing her hand size up to three cards.
"I activate Graceful Charity!" Jade quickly draws three cards and discards E-Hero Bladedge(2600/1800) and Necro Guardna(600/1300) to the graveyard.
"It's time i showed you my real strength! I activate Polymerization in order to fuse my E-Hero Forestman(1000/2000) and E-Hero Ocean(1500/1200) together to create E-Hero The Earth(2500/2000) in attack mode!" Jade's signature monster appeared, ready to battle.
"Your monster is strong, but mine is stronger, face it, the Elemental Heros are inferior to the Evil Heros." Haou says.
"I activate my spell card Monster Reborn in order to bring back my E-Hero Bladedge! Now I'll have him attack!" Jade declared as the similar monsters both launched themselves at eachother.
The two monsters shatter into millions of pixels, leaving Haou wide open for an attack. "Now I'll have my monster attack you directly!" Jade shouted as E-Hero The Earth charged up it's attack which slammed into Haou, causing him to stumble back from the massive amount of damage he had just received.
Haou: 1300/Jade: 1600
With no cards left in her hand Jade could do nothing but end her turn.
"You have to fight the darkness within your heart, it's the only way!" Jade urges.
As the smoke clears Haou stands tall, his usual acid yellow eyes are now brown. Jade smiles, "I...I did it!"
Suddenly Haou's eyes become it's acid yellow color again. "Fool! Power is everything. Above power...to rule this world...darkness of heart is necessary."
Jade's smile vanishes, "It...it didn't work?"
Haou draws another card from his deck, now having two cards in his hand.
"I activate my continuous spell card Spell Economics, with this card I won't have to pay any life points for the next card I'm about to play, Foolish Greed!"
Jade grimaced, understanding what was about to happen.
"This card allows me to draw cards at the cost of 500 life points each, but since Spell Economics is on the field, I pay nothing." Haou explained as he drew seven cards.
His two spell cards exploded once he drew the seventh card. "When I have seven or more cards in my hand while I have Foolish Greed on my side of the field all cards in my spell and trap card zone are destroyed."
Ed frowned, 'Jade has no cards in her hand while Jaden has seven, this isn't good.'
"Be prepared, I won't let you die easily!" Haou declares as a strong dark wind emits from his body.
"I activate Monster Reborn!" Haou declares as his Evil Hero Malicious Edge reappears on the field.
"Next I activate my final Dark Fusion, fusing my Malicious Edge and Spear Cretin(500/500) from my hand to create Evil Hero Malicious Devil(3500/2100) in attack mode!"
Haou's servants chuckled upon seeing the powerful monster, knowing what was coming next they waited with excitement.
"I equip my monster with Vicious Claw, which increases his attack points by 300 points." (3500+300)
"I summon Evil Hero Hell Gainer(1600/0) and activate his special effect, by removing this card from the game, a fiend-type monster on my side of the field can attack twice this turn, this is the end of the duel!" Haou shouted as his monster sliced through Jade's monster.
Haou: 1300/Jade: 300
"Now finish her off!" Haou commands.
"I activate my Necro Guardna's special effect from the grave! By removing it from the grave I can negate your attack!" Jade declares as a spectral image of her monster blocks the attack.
"Very well, I'll end my turn by placing one card face-down. After two turns my Evil Hero Hell Gainer will return, if you last long enough."
Jade nods, knowing that she was in a dire situation, she had no cards in her hand, it all depended on what card she would draw, she hoped it was something she could use.
Jade drew a card from her deck slowly, it was now or never. "I play the magic card Sacrifice of the Hero!"
Haou's raised an eyebrow, having never heard of such a card.
"This card allows me to draw cards from my deck equal to the number of Hero monsters in both player's graveyard, but I have to pay half of my life points to do so."
Haou's eye's widened in surprise, "That means you'll draw ten cards!"
Haou: 1300/Jade: 150
Jade swiftly drew ten cards, her confidence building. "I place four cards face down, then I'll activate my Miracle Fusion, I'll remove my Forestman and Ocean in order to fusion summon my E-Hero The Earth(2500/2000) in attack mode!"
"All monsters on your field have to attack my monster during the battle phase, which means your monster is finished!" Haou declared, smirking.
"That's okay, I was planning on attacking any way, activate quick-play spell card, Batte By 2! When a monster on my opponent side of the field has 1000 or more attack points than my monster, then my monster's attack strength is doubled!" (2500+2500)
"Now attack Haou's Devil!" E-Hero The Earth's attack slammed into Haou's monster, who withstood the attack.
Haou: 100/Jade: 150
"By sending Vicious Claw back to my hand I can negate the destruction of my monster, however, an Evil Token(2500/2000) is special summoned unto your side of the field. Now I'll activate my face-down, Evil Blast, this card equips to your Evil Token and decreases it's attack by 500 points, during your standby phase you'll lose 500 life points as long as this card remains on the field."
Haou: 100/Jade: 150
"I end my turn."
Haou draws a card as Jade motions to her set card, "I activate my Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying your Evil Blast."
Ed smiled, 'There's no way he can win now, it's over.'
"I activate my spell card, Double Spell!" Haou declares as he discards his Vicious Claw. "Now I can use a spell card in your graveyard, and I choose Sacrifices of the Hero!"
Jade and Ed's eye's widend in surprise, "What?!"
Haou draws ten cards from his deck, bringing his hand size to eleven cards.
"I activate the spell Dark Calling, this card allows me to remove a Dark Fusion from the game, now I can summon monsters that require Dark Fusion to be summoned, I fuse E-Hero Sparkman(1600/1400) and E-Hero Clayman(800/2000) to create Evil Hero Lightning Golem(2400/1500) in attack mode."
"It's not strong enough to defeat either one of my monsters though." Jade said.
"With it's special effect it is, once per turn it can destroy one monster on your side of the field, and I'm choosing your E-Hero The Earth!"
"Not so fast, I activate my face-down quick-play spell card, Effect Shut! This card negates your monster's effect and destroys it!"
Lightning Golem explodes, leaving Haou with only his Malicious Devil. "I'll attack your E-Hero The Earth!"
"I activate my trap card, Hero Barrier, your attack is negated!"
Haou frowns as he places five cards face-down on the field. Jade motions to her other set card, "Straight Flush, when you have five cards in your spell/trap card zone every single one of them are destroyed!"
Haou clenches his fist tightly, dark energy erupting from his body. "I'll kill you!"
Jade braces herself from the powerful energy that sweeps over her. 'He must be getting desperate, I've almost won.'
"I switch my monster into defense position, I place three cards face-down and end my turn." Haou said, calming down somewhat.
Jade draws a card, "I summon Winged Kuriboh(300/200) in attack mode!"
Haou's eyes widend, "Winged...Kuriboh?!"
Jade nodded, "That's right, I'll defeat you with the power of this card. Activate spell card Alchemic Research, by sending Winged Kuriboh to the graveyard and removing three monsters from play I can special summon Winged Kuriboh LV9(?/?)!"
Jade removed her E-Hero Bladedge(2600/1800), E-Hero The Heat(1600/1200), and E-Hero Ocean(1500/1200) from her graveyard and put them in her back pocket.
The upgraded Kuriboh appeared on the field, glowing with power, "Winged Kuriboh LV9's attack and defense are equal to the attack and defense of the monsters used to summon it!" (5700/4200)
"E-Hero the Earth, destroy his Malicious Devil!" Jade declared as her monster's attack ripped through the monster. Seeing that Haou didn't attempt to stop the attack she pushed forward.
"Now go Winged Kuriboh, bring Jaden out of the darkness!"
Haou winced as Winged Kuriboh glowed brightly, "I activate my trap card, Waboku, all battle damage becomes zero!"
Jade stepped back, shocked, "No!"
Ed frowned, "What's the matter, Jade?"
"At the end phase of the turn that Winged Kuriboh LV9 is summoned, it's destroyed, but I won't let it die in vain, activate my final set card, Mystik Wok! By tributing my monster I gain it's attack points as life points!"
Haou: 100/Jade: 5850
Haou draws a card, "My Evil Hero Hell Gainer returns this turn." Haou declares as the monster returns. "Now I'll activate my Dark Calling, removing my Malicious Edge and Spear Cretin from the graveyard to bring back my Maliciuos Devil in attack mode!"
"And now, this will be the end of the duel, I discard a card from my hand to activate my two set cards, Super Polymerization and Code Change!"
"What...what do they do?" Jade asked, suddenly losing all her confidence.
"Code Change allows me to change the type written on a card's text, and I'll choose my Evil Hero Dark Gaia(?/?) in the fusion deck. Normally I would have to fuse a fiend-type monster and a rock-type monster together, instead, I'll change the rock-type monster to a fiend-type monster, which your Evil Token fits very well."
"Why does that matter, Evil Token is on my side of the field." Jade protests.
"Super Polymerization is the sign of ultimate power, I'm allowed use the monsters on your side of the field as well! Now my monster and your token will now fuse to summon Evil Hero Dark Gaia(?/?) in attack mode!"
A devilish monster emerged on Haou's side of the field, ready to crush E-Hero The Earth. "Dark Gaia's attack is equal to the monsters used in the fusion summoning combined!" (6000)
"Finally, I'll remove my Hell Sniper from play again to allow my Dark Gaia to attack twice, and end the duel!" Dark Gaia crushed through Jade's monster and slammed it's fist through Jade's stomach.
Haou: 100/Jade: 0
Jade gasped as the monster lifted her into the air, blood spilling from her mouth and her wound. "Jade!" Ed called to her, horrified at what she was doing.
Haou frowned, "I told you I would not let you die easily."
Dark Gaia tossed Jade's body to the ground before vanishing. Jade coughed up more blood upon impact. Ed ran over to the fallen girl, "I...I wasn't able to do it, even though I tried so hard."
Ed looked down at the fallen girl sadly, tears spilling from his eyes, "Jade..."
Jade smiled at him, "Ed...there's something I want to tell you before I go, I..." Jade closed her eyes as her body transformed into particles of light, floating into the sky.
Ed slammed his fist into the ground. "Dammit! Damn you, I'll kill you for this!" Ed shouted in righteous fury."
Before he could make his move an explosion went off in front of him, knocking him backwards and causing a great wall of fire between him and Haou and his servants.
Two hooded people grabbed Ed and pulled his unconscious form away. Haou frowned once the fire finally died down. He turned towards his castle.
One of his servants bowed to him, "Shall we go after him?" He asked.
Haou shook his head, "I have no interest in cowards."
That's it! So how was it, it was really hard for me to write this duel, so I hope you liked it. Anyway, please review!
Next Time: Ayato and Raven face off against Savannah and Aria with only one goal in mind, victory. And what of Ed?
Until next time, I'm out!
