Chapter 26

A Robot with Danger

Third Person POV

"Duel initiated," the robot called. "Opponent may have first turn."

"Fine," Yusei agreed and drew his card. "I activate the spell card One for One! By sending Speed Warrior from my hand to the graveyard, I can special summon Level Eater (Attack 600/ Defense 0) in defense mode. I then summon Junk Synchron (Attack 1300/ Defense 500) in attack mode and activate its effect. This allows me to special summon Speed Warrior (Attack 900/ Defense 400) from my graveyard in defense mode with its effects negated. Now I tune Speed Warrior with Junk Synchron in order to synchro summon, Junk Warrior (Attack 2300/ Defense 1300)!" His monster came to the field with his signature punch. "And due to Junk Warrior's effect, it gains attack equal to the attack of all level two or below monsters I control (Junk Warrior: Attack 2900). I then set a face down and end my turn."

The robot drew his card. "Activating card, Level Limit- Area B! Now all level four or above monsters will be changed to defense position," it declared and Junk Warrior switched to its defense mode. "Ending turn with three face downs."

Yusei drew his card. "I activate Graceful Revival to special summon Speed Warrior from my graveyard in attack mode," he declared.

"Activating counter, Malfunction to negate the activation of Graceful Revival and resetting it by paying 500 life points," the robot fought and its life points fell to 3500. And since Graceful Revival was negated Speed Warrior returned to the graveyard. "And now since a counter trap card I control negated one of your cards, I can special summon Lock Dragon (Attack 0/ Defense 2000) in defense position. Now while Lock Dragon is in face up defense mode, both players are forbidden from special summoning monsters. I then activate Counter Force. This card gains one Charge Counter due to a counter trap card being activated. During my standby phase, I can send Counter Force to the graveyard and inflict 1000 points of damage to you for each Charge Counter that is on Counter Force."

'That thing is going to try to put four counters on it, so it can inflict 4000 points of damage at me. I need to find a way around this monster and fast,' Yusei thought.

. . .

Meanwhile, Bruno walks into a new room and looks around in shock. Suddenly, the door opened behind him and he couldn't see who it was before he was knocked out.

. . .

"I set a face down and end my turn," Yusei finished.

The bot drew its card. "I activate Summon Pass! Now when a player normal summon a level four or below monster, the player's opponent draws one card and the summoned monster's controller must then call what type of card is drawn, a monster, spell, or trap. If the player calls wrong, the summoned monster is destroyed," it declared. "I set one face down and end my turn."

Yusei drew. "I switch Level Eater into attack position and activate Synchro Gift. By reducing Junk Warrior's attack to 0 (Junk Warrior: Attack 0) until the end phase, I can increase the attack of Level Eater by the original attack of Junk Warrior until the end phase (Level Eater: Attack 2900)," he declared. "Level Eater, attack Lock Dragon!"

"Countering with Negate Attack. This negates the attack and ends the battle phase. And then the effect of Counter Force activates, giving it a second Charge Counter," the robot countered.

"I end my turn," Yusei finished and due to it being the end phase, Level Eater's attack returned to 600 and Junk Warrior's attack returned to 2900.

The robot drew a card. "Setting one face down and ending turn," he declared.

Yusei drew his card. But that's when alarms started going off and lights blinked in an eerie, red glowing pattern. "SELF-DESTRUCTION INITIATED! PLEASE EVACUATE THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY!" a mechanical voice called. It continued to repeat its warning over and over.

"Yusei, please hurry!" Lazar called.

"I'm trying, Lazar!" Yusei retorted. He turned back to the duel. "I summon Drill Synchron (Attack 800/ Defense 300) in attack mode!"

"I activate the effect of Summon Pass!" the robot called and it drew its card. "Guess the type of card."

"A trap," Yusei stated. The robot revealed the card to be the trap card, Barrel Behind the Door. "I activate Blind Spot Strike! This increases the attack of Drill Synchron by the defense of Lock Dragon until the end phase."

"Activating, Magic Jammer. This negates the effect of your card and destroys it by discarding Barrel Behind the Door! This also added a third Charge Counter to Counter Force," the robot defended.

"I end my turn," Yusei finished.

"Yusei!" came Crow's voice in over the PA system. "You and Jayla need to get out of there!"

"Are you watching this?"Yusei asked.

"Yeah, and you need to get out of there now!" Jack replied.

"I can't. This entire room's been put on lockdown until I beat this robot. I have Lazar in here too and none of us can leave until I beat this thing," Yusei explained.

"Then hurry it up!" Crow retorted.

"I'm trying, Crow. For now, all of you get out of here. I'll meet you outside," Yusei reassured.

"You don't have enough time, Yusei!" Bruno argued.

"I'll be fine. Just get out now! I need to focus," Yusei responded before he turned back to the duel again, blocking out Lazar's urgent - and annoying - calls for the Signer to hurry. Jayla was also seeming to get annoyed by Lazar.

The robot drew its card. "Activating Messenger of Peace! Now neither player can attack with monsters that have 1500 or more attack points," it declared. "And during each of my standby phases, I must either pay 100 life points or destroy Messenger of Peace. Ending turn there."

Yusei drew his card. "I activate Double Cyclone! By targeting my set Graceful Revival and your Counter Force, I can destroy them," he declared.

"Activating Solemn Judgement to negate the effect of Double Cyclone by paying half my life points," the robot declared and its life points fell to 1750. The effect of Counter Force activated, giving it a fourth counter.

"I tribute Level Eater in order to tribute summon Earthquake Giant (Attack 1600/ Defense 2100) in attack mode," Yusei fought but duel to the effect of Level Limit- Area B, Yusei's monster was switched to defense position since it was a level five monster. "I activate the effect of Earthquake Giant! Since its battle position was changed, I can switch Lock Dragon to attack mode. And this means Lock Dragon's effect is no longer applied to both players. And then I activate, Panic Wave! By destroying Graceful Revival, I can negate the effects of all face up Continuous Spell and Trap cards and any effect monsters you control this turn. So now I tune Junk Warrior with Drill Synchron to synchro summon, Stardust Dragon (Attack 2500/ Defense 2000)! Now Stardust Dragon, attack Lock Dragon!" The attack succeeded and the robot's life points fell to 0.

All the doors were unlocked and Yusei quickly got back up to Jayla and Lazar on the platform. He immediately ordered, grabbing a hold of Jayla's hand again, "Let's get out of here, now."

They nodded and ran out fast. Right before Lazar was able to disappear, however, Jayla stepped in front of Lazar making him stop while Wing landed on the other side of him, with Yusei next to him, pretty much trapping him in place. Jack, Bruno, and Crow came running up.

"Alright, you have him in place," Bruno commented. "Good."

"Lazar, tell us now, where is the program?" Yusei ordered.

"I may have given it to my higher-ups at their order," he answered nervously.

"Are you serious?!" Jack exclaimed infuriated.

"I was ordered to! Don't kill me please!" Lazar responded fearfully.

Yusei rolled his eyes and let go of his grip on Lazar. "Don't think of doing this again, Lazar. Trust me, you don't want to," he told the clown who nodded and quickly ran off after.

"What're we going to do, Yusei?" Crow asked.

"Well," Bruno responded, "the only thing we can do is try to create it again."

"Think you can?" Jack questioned.

"We should be able to," Yusei responded. "It'll be difficult, but possible."

"Then let's get to it," Jayla suggested. "The sooner we get it done again, the better." They all nodded in agreement, with a slight grin.
