Two down and only one to go. Coyote Starrk is the only one left that follows Aizen and the other two traitors and right now, he stands against Shunsui.
"I wish I didn't have to do this, but I have my orders. You don't want to upset Lord Aizen." Starrk said.
"So you're my opponent. I've got to say, I like your kickback attitude." Shunsui said.
"Can we just get this over with?" Starrk said.
"What's the rush?" Shunsui said.
"Well, if I don't get to work and have it done, I'm going to be getting it by the boss." Starrk said. "The sooner this is over, the less painful it will be for you."
"Alright. If you're in that much of a hurry. Let's get started." Shunsui said. Both of them placed their duel disks on their arms and activated them.
"Let's duel!" Both were set and had 4000LP.
"I'll start this." Starrk said. "I'll activate the Lone Wolf Prey. This spell will deal 400 points damage to you for each Lone Wolf in my hand. I'm currently holding three." A wolf made of energy was formed and attacked Shunsui. It exploded and his points dropped to 2800.
"A big shot on the very first turn. Most impressive." Shunsui said.
"I'm not even done." Starrk said. "I'm summoning my Lone Wolf Silver in attack mode." A silver haired wolf came on the field with 800atk points. "Next comes his ability. If I have another Lone Wolf Silver in my hand, I can summon it." A second wolf came on the field.
"Then it's not really a lone wolf." Shunsui said.
"I'm not finished yet because I activate Strength of the Pack." Starrk said. "This spell allows me to summon a third beast when I have two more and it doesn't matter what level it is. I summon Lone Wolf Alpha." Another wolf that was broader came on the field and had 1800atk points. "Now, Alpha's ability is activate. You lose 300LP for every beast on the field and that's 900." The wolf howled and Shunsui got hit from a sonic attack and his points dropped to 1900.
"Are you done?" Shunsui said.
"Sadly, no." Starrk said. "I unite my light attribute, level two Lone Wolf Silvers with level five Lone Wolf Alpha." All three of them became yellow energy and combined together. "I unite summon Los Lobos." His monster was a man that had grey fur coming out of his coat and around his legs with twin pistols and had a wolf head. It also had 2900atk points.
"You've decided to bring out your best monster right from the start? You actually do want to end this as soon as possible." Shunsui said.
"This is where my turn ends." Starrk said.
"Good. I can have my turn." Shunsui said. "I'll start by activating my Beauty Bloom in Dark. This spell gives me a Night Flower token for each open space on my field." Five dark flowers bloomed on his field and had no attack points. "Now, I'll unite three of my dark attribute, level two tokens and unite summon Katen Kyokotsu." Three of the flowers turned into dark energy and were brought together and formed one tall woman and one short one in dark clothing, each holding an identical sword with them having 2200atk points.
"Interesting. One monster that has the appearance of two." Starrk said.
"Since I can't destroy your monster, I'll use their special ability. I'll use one unite unit to deal 900 points of damage." Shunsui said. The shorter woman slashed the sword and went into the shadows. She came up and slashed at Starrk as his points dropped to 3100. "I'll place these two face downs and end my turn."
'He's up to something and it must have to do with those face downs or else he would have summon that monster in defense mode. Too bad it won't be around.' Starrk thought. "Just ending your turn has triggered Los Lobos' ability. I use one unite unit to destroy all monsters who did not battle this turn." His wolf man took aim as a unit went in one of the guns and fired three times.
"Not so fast. My Katen Kyokotsu has another ability." Shunsui said. "If I use another unite unit. They can avoid destruction." The taller one took away another unit and jumped up to avoid the shot, but the two flowers were destroyed.
"You might have saved your monster, but you won't be able to pull that trick again." Starrk said as he drew his card. "I'm activating Wolf Head. This allows me to draw a card for every wolf in my graveyard. Since I have three, I can draw three cards." He drew those three extra cards.
"Before you make another move, I'm going to activate my face down." Shunsui said. "The trap known as Color Chance. Here's how it works and listen because this might be complicated. After the draw phase for both of us, we get to draw the first monster in our decks. Then, we have to pick two attributes and they can't be the same as a monster on our field. If it's one of those, our monsters gain 500atk points, but if it's the same attribute as a monster we have on the field, that monster gains 1000. Also our current monsters can't be destroyed."
"I think I get it. Now, I draw the first monster on the top of my deck and pick what attribute what it might be, but it can't be the same as Los Lobos. That means my choice can't be a light attribute." Starrk said.
"That's right and if it is a light attribute, your monster will gain a big boost." Shunsui said.
"Fine. I say the monster I draw will be a dark or earth attribute." Starrk said. He drew his card. "It's Lone Wolf Shadow, a dark attribute." Los Lobos' points went to 3400. "Your monster might survive, but you're still taking a hit. Los Lobos, attack with Barrage Mayhem." Los Lobos fired a barrage of energy shots. Shunsui's monster was able to survive, but his points took a hit and went down to 700. "I'll end my turn."
"My turn and since it's the draw phase, I get to take a pick." Shunsui said. "I say it might be a wind or light attribute." He drew his extra card. "It's a dark attribute and that's what my lovely ladies are." His monster now had 3200atk points.
"That's still not enough to beat my monster." Starrk said.
"I know that, but that's about to change." Shunsui said. "You see, the monster I just drew was Bone Snapper, but if I send this little critter to the graveyard, it gives all my dark attribute monsters an extra 300atk points." He discarded the card and his monster now had 3500atk points. "Katen Kyokotsu, attack his Los Lobos with Jump Game Slash." The small woman jumped and the big one went straight as they both slashed at the wolf and Starrk's life points dropped to 3000. Since Shunsui's trap was still activate, it wasn't destroyed. "I could use their ability to take away another 900LP, but I think it's better if I save that. I'll just place this one card face down to end my turn." Since it was the end of his turn the trap wore off and their monster's points returned to their original power.
"You found a way around the rules of your own trap and since your only monster attacked, Los Lobos' ability can't be activated." Starrk said.
"Don't sell yourself short." Shunsui said. "You're actually a pretty well duelist. No one has ever given me this much of a challenge."
"That's how it always is with me." Starrk said. "I actually envy the weak. All my opponents fall easily and just took off. A life of solitude was the life for me. I guess my power is the reason Aizen came for me, but at least I found comrades who were strong like me."
"That does sound like a rough life." Shunsui said.
"Yeah. Not a single person for you to have close. If I couldn't be weak than I would find someone who was strong." Starrk said. "That's why Aizen came to me and why I'm one of his strongest. Enough of this talk. Let's just get this over with because you're going to end up like all the rest that faced me."
