Turn 7 - Maliks Turn
Malik LP: 300 Gage: 5 Hand: 1
Malik controls no monsters with no monsters or set cards
Sampson LP: 1900 Gage: 13 Hand: 1
Sampson controls Blank Rhombicosidodecahedron ATK: 0 DEF: 0 with no set cards. With the field spell Nothingness in play.
"How on earth can I beat that thing. Whenever I attack it, my monsters will reduce there attack to zero and then there destroyed. Plus with his high gage, he can use its Growth effects to no end." thought Malik.
Sampson stood there in his suit, smirking down at Malik. "What now Malik?"
"I end there."
Turn 8
Malik LP: 300 Gage: 5 Hand: 1
Sampson LP: 1900 Gage: 13 Hand 1
"Time to end this, and you Malik. I draw!"
"Once I win. I will finally be rid of this stupid game once and for all. I will attack the Fire World and finally have my perfect world."
"A perfect world? A world where no one does what they want to do? First it starts with dueling, then you will ban anything and everything you hate. Whats the point?!"
"Because the whole world hasn't woken up to the fact that I know whats best for it Malik."
"Your the one who hasn't woken up. Your living with your head in the clouds Derek."
"Lets see about that. I pay three gage counters!"
Sampson Gage: 13 - 10
"Now then, this 3rd effect of my Rhombicosidodecahedron is in play. This allows me to send any cards in your hand to the grave. So goodbye to your last hope!"
Malik gritted his teeth, he sent a spell to the grave.
"I play the spell Blank Arsenal. One Blank monster on my field gains the ATK equal to my opponents life points.."
Rhombicosidodecahedron ATK: 300
"Now end this. Attack Malik. Colorless Stream!"
Different sides of the shape lifted up, and mini guns appeared. They fired directly at Malik.
"Thanks Derek. The card I sent to the grave was Double Speed! By banishing this card, I can special summon one LVL 4 or below monster from my grave to the field with its effects negated. It cant be destroyed this turn!"
"What?! I helped you?"
"Yes, I would have lost, had it not been for you. A bit of luck gets you far, I bring back Ragtag Dragon in DEF mode."
Ragtag Dragon ATK: 0 DEF: 0
Ragtag Dragon was shielded from the gunfire.
Sampson grew more annoyed. "Your like a cockroach Malik. I end my turn. Rhombicosidodecahedron returns back to 0 ATK."
Turn 9
Malik LP: 300 Gage: 5 Hand: 0
Sampson LP: 1900 Gage: 10 Hand 1
"I draw!"
"Sampson still has ten gage counters, I fear whatever his monsters main gage effect is. It will have something to do with his high number." thought Malik. Malik looked at his hand. "Golden Light Heart Eagle and Ragtag Phoenix are gone. I have one more choice."
"Stop thinking and hurry up. I have a City to improve." shouted Sampson.
"I play the spell Foundation Finder. I can add one Foundation monster from my deck to my hand. Its funny you called me a Cockroach, guess what I deiced to add to my deck for this duel."
Sampson's face looked shocked. "You didn't?"
"I added Ragtag Cockroach! Now I normal summon him! I can only do this by tributing another Ragtag." Ragtag Dragon disappeared.
Ragtag Cockroach ATK: 200 DEF: 100 Dark/Insect/Foundation (ATK: 0)
The monster was a cockroach with the letter R on its wings. It was a huge sized cockroach and was brown.
"You gave me Foundation monsters, this one is pretty good isn't it Derek?"
"It doesn't matter, whatever plan you have up your sleeve."
"I pay three counters, to grow my Cockroach!"
Malik Gage: 5 - 2
"Appear Fire Swordsman!" The flamed warrior came to the field, swinging his sword.
Fire Swordsman G LVL: 3 ATK: 2000 DEF:1000 Fire/Warrior/Growth (ATK:0)
Sampson's body begun to glow a reddish color. "Blazes card.."
"You stuck some of Blazes DNA inside of you to continue to evolve. Its changed you Derek, and now you lighting up like a Christmas tree. End this madness, then we can get you treatment."
"Blazes DNA is the start of me and my Androids evolution. We will become the perfect beings, with the perfect non dueling world." Sampson laughed afterwords.
"You see. You was never a laughing type. When Ragtag Cockroach is used to Growth summon. I can draw two cards.
Malik Gage: 2 - 3 (Effect)
Malik added the two cards to his hand. "I play the equip spell Darkness Rising!"
Fire Swordsman got attached with new dark armour. It shined in the light.
"This equip spell increases the ATK of my monster by 500 ATK points."
Fire Swordsman ATK: 500
"Then by discarding one card from my hand once per turn, I can increase it by another 1000, until the end of the turn." Malik sent a monster to his grave.
Fire Swordsman ATK: 1500
"Now go Fire Swordsman. Fire Slash!"
The Swordsman ran and jumped at Sampson's monster. Sampson laughed.
"Are you nuts? My monsters effect means when its attacked your monsters ATK becomes zero and its destroyed!"
Fire Swordsman ATK: 0
"I'm sorry Derek. Fire Swordsman main effect stops it from being destroyed via card effects. Plus Darkness Rising has one more effect."
"One more?"
"If my monster has a lower LVL or Rank. It gains 500 ATK during the battle phase! Your monster is Gage LVL 10, mine is 3."
Swordsman ATK: 500
Swordsman hit Sampson's monster, it slashed its sword right across its center. The Blank shape slowly cracked, and was destroyed.
Sampson stood firm as his ace monster was destroyed.
Power Core
Alex and Hannah are in the main Power Core room. Hannah is watching the duel on the computer. Alex is looking around for the override switch.
"Yes. Malik got rid of that Blank monster!" shouted Hannah.
"Good. We need to end this, we have ten minutes left before my EMP wears off and the Androids come into the City from the outside."
"What about the override."
"I cant find it. It should be here."
"OK. You watch the duel, I will take over."
Duel
Sampson LP: 1900 - 1400
Malik Gage: 3 - 5 (Destroyed Monster)
"Well done Malik. You got around it. But you deny your King of the Dark World?"
"I know now I'm some sort of King, whatever that means. But I refuse to believe this is the Dark World."
"Look at your deck Malik. Most of them are Dark types. You played a card called Darkness Rising. "
"I have other types in my deck!"
"Yes, but if you do beat me and rule this world, you know deep down you will get rid of those cards, because there weak. Your deck is darkness and you know it!"
Malik shaked his head violently. "Your mind games wont work on me. Swordsmans battle phase ATK boost ends, but since Darkness Rising is still equipped, its ATK returns to 500. I end there Derek."
Swordsman ATK: 500
Turn 10
Malik LP: 300 Gage: 5 Hand: 0
Sampson LP: 1400 Gage: 10 Hand 1
"I draw!"
"First off all I play the spell Blank Downsize. If my opponent controls a monster with ATK points. That monster is destroyed. Then if I control a Growth Blank monster. You lose half of your life points!"
Malik LP: 300 - 150
Sampson Gage: 10 - 11 (Destroyed Spell)
"Damnit." said Malik.
"Not that it matters. Now I play Rhombicosidodecahedrons main Gage effect!"
"I knew it."
Alex and Hannah looked at the computer. They were concerned over Malik.
"But first I pay five Gage counters, if this monster is in my grave. It returns to my field!"
Sampson Gage: 11 - 6
Rhombicosidodecahedron returned to the field in attack mode. ATK: 0 DEF: 0
"Now its time for the main effect. If I have more then four gage counters, and if my monster was returned to my field via its own effect, by paying all remaing gage counters. I can send every monster in your deck and grave to your banished zone and your banish effects don't count!"
Sampson Gage: 6 - 0
"WHAT?!"
"Thats not all. When this happens, Blank Rhombicosidodecahedron attack becomes 10,000!"
Blank Rhombicosidodecahedron ATK: 10,000
"No way..." said Hannah in the Power Core room. "Malik wont beat Sampson. Yet alone in five minutes."
"I thought you hated dueling Derek, which is why you use 0 ATK monsters?"
"I hate this game. But a good leader knows when to change his tactics."
"You are anything but a good leader."
"Well I know this. Its time to die Malik! Go Rhombicosidodecahedron!"
The monster's inner guns popped out again and fired at Malik. Malik stood with his head down.
A smokescreen had been created as it cleared, Sampson saw Malik still standing with Ragtag Cockroach on his field once it had cleared.
"No way."
"Yes way Derek. It seems you forgot Ragtag Cockroach's second effect."
"I cant remember everything. What did you do!"
"Oh, anytime during my opponents turn I can special summon this card from my grave in DEF mode if I have no monsters on my field. Also it cant be destroyed via battle during the turn its special summoned! You was to busy blabbing, you didn't see me summon Cockroach to my field, so it wasn't banished."
Malik Gage: 5 - 7 (Effect X 2)
"Fine. But you have no monsters left in your deck or grave. You have nothing. I end there, with a face down."
Turn 11
Malik LP: 150 Gage: 7 Hand: 0
Sampson LP: 1400 Gage: 0 Hand 1
"I draw!"
Malik looked at his one card. "I set one card face down and end there."
Turn 12
Malik LP: 150 Gage: 7 Hand: 0
Sampson LP: 1400 Gage: 0 Hand 0
"Even if that card is something which can help you, it wont matter. I play the continuous trap. Blank Attack. If I control a Blank monster with ATK points. I can attack my opponent directly, this effect cant be negated."
Hannah put her hands over her mouth, she was shell shocked. Alex looked on with a depressed face. They had stopped looking for the override, they had lost hope.
"Now go Rhombicosidodecahedron, attack Malik directly!"
The guns reappeared and fired once again at Malik.
"If I cant negate it, then I will just do this. I play the card Ragtags Luck!"
"Not that trap." Sampson crushed his fist.
"So you remember this one. If I have a banished Ragtag, then any damage I would take this turn is turned to zero, your favorite number! Next, if I control a Ragtag monster, by tributing it. I can draw two new cards."
Hannah and Alex clenched their fists at Maliks comeback.
Ragtag Cockroach disappeared from the field, then reappeared. Malik drew two new cards.
"Remember its effect, I can special summon it during your turn at any time."
Malik Gage 7 - 8 (Effect)
"Malik, that monster suits you well. Never giving up. But you have no monsters left in your deck or grave. Your traps may work with banished monsters, but theres only so much defending you can do. I set a card."
Turn 13
Malik LP: 150 Gage: 8 Hand: 2
Sampson LP: 1400 Gage: 0 Hand 1
"Your right Derek. I draw!"
"I have done enough defending. Time to win this."
"Your either stupid or insane."
"Whats wrong with both. I play the play the spell, Growth Copy!"
Sampson looked irked, he knew what was coming.
"If I control a Foundation monster, by paying half of my life points I can play this cards effect.
Malik LP: 150 - 75
"Next this card copies the effects of one Growth monster in my grave or banished zone. But first I need to Growth summon it. I pay four counters, to grow Cockroach."
Cockroach was circled by orange light as it dipped into the floor and Maliks spell card appeared from the light.
"It takes the form of... Ragtag Phoenix! And since I used Cockroach to Growth summon, I draw two cards!"
Ragtag Phoenix ATK: 2500 DEF:2000 Gage LVL: 4 /Growth Monster/Light/Winged Beast
Malik Gage: 8 - 4 4 - 5 (Effect)
"Fine, but its a spell card which acts as a monster so due to my field spell, it goes down to 0 ATK!"
Ragtag Phoenix ATK: 0
"Yes, but I knew that. I have a trick up my purple jackets sleeve."
"What?!"
"I play the spell Ragtag Break Down, this card reduces the ATK of one monster on field for every Ragtag in my banished or graveyard zones X 400. I have 25 Ragtags in my banished or graveyard. Plus its effects are negated this turn!"
"But 25 X 400 is?!"
"Is 10,000 on the spot!"
Blank Rhombicosidodecahedron shrunk in size as its ATK rolled down.
Rhombicosidodecahedron ATK: 0
"Next up. I play the spell Counter Knock Down. This card reduces my opponents life points down by 200 X each Gage Counter I have."
Maliks spell shot out orange lights from it, hitting Sampson.
Sampson LP: 1400 - 400
"Next up I play the quick play spell Foundation Return. I can bring back a Foundation monster. Come back my Cockroach! Plus it is unaffected by card effects this turn! Also its ATK is doubled. Its banished at the end of my turn though. "
Cockroach ATK: 400
"Well you wont have until then. I play the quick play spell Blank Fortune. By banishing all my Blanks in my grave, I can double my LP!
Sampson LP: 800
"Now with you will hit me with Cockroach. But I will still have 400 LP left. Then next turn will be it for you. You see Blank Fortune has one more effect, by banishing this card during my turn. You take 500 points of damage!"
"I don't need another turn. Are you forgetting something?"
Sampson glowed a deeper red, this time around his face. "I... don't know."
"Looks like Blazes DNA isn't agreeing with you. You forgot the Growth monster card you gave me, the card you gave me while I was on the Elite Squad to capture and seal people for you. While you was banning dueling for your own selfish purposes!"
Sampson received a shock. "No Ragtag Phoenix!"
"Yes, I play his best gage effect, by paying four counters. It doubles the ATK of one other monster on the field. I choose my Cockroach!"
Ragtag Phoenixes purple aura passed onto Ragtag Cockroach.
Cockroach ATK: 800
"Time to end this, once and for all." Malik pointed towards Sampson. "Cockroach attack!"
Ragtag Cockroach leaped into the air. He angled itself while it was falling. The giant monster slammed into Sampson, creating a dust cloud.
Sampson LP: 800 - 0 Malik Wins
The duel field disappeared. Maliks purple jacket blew in the aftermath. Malik fell to his knees, he finally did it. He beat Sampson.
Sampson was on the floor, his suit had been ripped from top to bottom.
Malik walked over. Sampson slowly got back up.
"Derek. Its over."
"You really thought I would lose control of the City if I lost a duel?! You cant seal me anymore Malik. I know your duel disk got changed. Though I cant seal you since you won, I will just have my Androids take you to the seal room instead!"
"DEREK!" Malik leaped on top of Sampson. A little remote control fell out of his pocket.
Sampson tried to grab it, but Malik kicked him in the stomach, knocking him back down.
Malik quickly contacted Alex and Hannah on his duel disk. "Guys, the override was on Sampson all long!"
"Malik I'm sorry, but the countdown is over. The Androids are coming right now!" said Alex.
The Androids could be heard knocking on the Power Cores door.
Malik pushed the remote control. But nothing happened.
"Malik." said a weakened Sampson. "The remote only works for my hand only. Sorry, you lose again."
"Derek please. Yes you was bullied, yes people mistreated you. But this isn't the way to make the life's of other people better. This City loved dueling, you may not agree but thats what makes this City so great. Not Androids serving you in a impossible dream."
"Do one Malik." Sampson was on the floor weakened.
Malik knew what he had to do. Malik forcefully went over Sampson's body, he pulled Sampson's weakened hand towards the remote. Sampson tried to fight but he had no strength.
"LET GO MALIK!"
Malik forced Sampson's hand all the way, he got one of his fingers to touch the remote ever so slightly.
Malik dropped Sampson's hand. "This time Derek. You lose."
The Androids ceased, every single one inside and out just stopped. They started to shake and shiver. Then a bright white light emerged from the Androids body's, they floated in the air, then they shooted off back to the Upgrade Boxes.
They entered the small boxes located in the eight City's, then the white lights reappeared, they then scattered across the City. Searching.
In eight different rooms, peoples soulless body's were on the floor of the rooms. One by one the souls reentered peoples bodies. One by one each person woke up.
"What... What just happened?"
"I had a weird nightmare I was a robot?!"
Back with Malik. Sampson was slamming his hands on the floor like a crying kid. "Screw...you Malik. I. .YOU!"
Sampson gathered the energy to pick himself up of the floor, he pinned Malik down to the ground. He raised a fist up to Malik.
"I will pummel you so that your face is the same color as your jacket."
As the fist was about to connect to Maliks face, Hannah came rushing over and pushed Sampson off.
"Go away you sore loser." Hannah ran over to Sampson and pinned him to the ground.
Malik got back up, there was some blood on his yellow undershirt. Alex came running over.
"You guys are the bloody best friends anyone could ask for." said Malik out of breath.
"Its not over yet." Alex ran over to a computer near Project N.W
"Yes, we need to get Morgan back." said Malik.
"But the machine doesn't have enough sealed people to teleport?" said Hannah.
"It does actually, when we were in the Power Core, I was able to see the seal energy scale on Sampsons computer. It does not have enough energy to last for long. Malik you have one minute to get Morgan and come back."
"More then enough time." said Malik.
"I have set this to teleport you to the Fire World Jail. Thankfully there's a map on here with life energy. Morgan is the yellow color." Alex pointed on the map to Malik.
The doorway opened up and Malik went inside. "Bring him Home Malik." said Hannah.
"I will." Alex hit a button as Malik disappeared.
Fire World Jail
Malik landed in Morgans cell. Malik felt dizzy afterwords. He looked around and he could see a male in a grey ripped shirt. He had cuts and bruises to his face.
"Morgan!" Malik yelled. He ran over and rolled Morgan over. Morgans face was badly cut up.
"Malik... I knew you would come."
"Well thats what friends are for." Malik picked Morgan up and place him on his back. He begun to piggyback him towards the small blue portal."
Just as Maliks boot was about to step into the portal, the door opened.
A male appeared, he had red boots and a red shirt with a cape. It was the Fire Worlds King, King Henry.
"Now then Morgan. Its time to tell me..." Henry looked at Malik and Morgan.
Henry put out his hand towards Malik and Morgan. A fire ball was being created in his hand.
As the fireball was growing, Malik collapsed with the same freezing pains he felt before. "AHHHHHHHH" yelled Malik as he fell to the ground.
"Well well, two Kings for the price of one. Your Malik."
The fireball was growing stronger. "Not.. today... Malik fought the pain and grabbed Morgan. He shovedMorgan through the teleport.
Malik was the last one, Henry launched the fireball. As Malik stepped up from the ground and was about to go through the portal. The fireball hit Malik right in between the shoulders on his back. Malik let out a massive scream of pain. He fell in towards the portal, as it disappeared.
Sampson's Lab
Project N.W flashed as Morgan and Malik reappeared from the machine.
Alex opened the door, Morgan walking weakly. He was using his last bit of strength to pull Malik out.
"Morgan!" said the two. They then saw Malik with his eyes closed.
"What on earth has happened?!"
"Malik...took a powerful attack dead on. He needs medical treatment now!"
Morgan then collapsed.
Sampson flew up of the ground. His face was now bright red, his blond hair was turning red.
"Malik has bought back Fire energy. I'm much stronger now!"
Hannah was flung against the wall. Alex attempted to hit Sampson but he threw Alex to the ground.
"I will have to start from scratch, but dueling will be banned!"
As Sampson begun to walk off, his face grew even more red. "What... what is this?!"
His skin grew so red, Sampson didn't look like himself anymore. "Why am I so HOT!"
Sampson's suit slowly begun to melt, steam was coming off Sampson's back.
"WHAT IS THIS?!" yelled Sampson, as his face then body begun to melt.
Sampson was slowly melting towards the floor. Malik opened his eyes, Hannah was now holding him.
"Malik...I have seen now. I to have now seen the future thanks to the fire energy. I know what you will become Maliks You will rule this world as I would have done. The King of Darkness. You will kill and torture. Your future is dark, just like your past. I'm so proud of you."
Sampson then melted onto the floor. All what was left was Sampson's suit and yellow tie.
Morgan Alex and Hannah looked at each other. Malik then closed his eyes again. He fell unconscious.
Fire World
Henry was sat on his throne. Blaze entered via the giant wooden door, he had cuts and bruises to his face.
"My King. Are you okay?"
"Fine Blaze. Did you complete the task?"
"Oh yes. By using the portals coordinates we were able to track the machine holding the seal energy. We have transferred it over to our World. Sampson's collected energy is now ours."
"Excellent. Now we can restore our power, in which that entity destroyed. Now we can go to the Dark World with a full army then get rid of it."
"We have learnt of its identity. Since we got the power back."
"So who is it?"
"Its a girl, she wears a black tank top, she has red eyes and black reddish hair."
Blaze walked up to Henry and showed him a picture, which he got from his pocket. The picture showed Rachel in a CCTV style photo.
"Very good Blaze. If only you didn't fail me before. I wouldn't have sent you to the punishment room."
Blaze fell to the floor. "My King, I can only say sorry."
"Here in the Fire World, failure isn't a option. If you fail you get punished. Then your given another chance. Failure for the second time... well you know what happens."
"Yes Sir. If I fail one more time, you will feed me alive to the Engage Machine."
Henry smirked.
So the first arc is done. Sampson has been killed. But the Fire World have now grown in power.
Now Sampson is gone, the main plot will finally start in full. The Five Worlds. I shall post a second story on here when the first chapter is done. It shall be called enGAGE II. Thanks for reading this first part guys. It means alot.
