Hello once again everyone. Sorry I didn't do my reviews last night, but due that my computer is currently taken apart, I couldn't quite do the reviews for some reason or another. Anyways, I spent my weekend moving all my furniture and worldly possessions into my new apartment. I really wish I had been up to see a sweet little kitty instead, but I had to do this on this weekend. Now I just need power to be hooked up at the place and then I'll be in business. Well, that and food…
At any rate, time to get down to answering the reviews.
Ryon Nakura: Are you really surrounded? And no, the profiles never lie. There is absolutely no connection to the fact the virus happened to edit a few records. (//Grins evilly as he sits in front of computer and edits more of Ryon's records.\\)
Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks for the comments. I hope this tag duel does turn out good. I decided to link their life points this time around like how GX has done it so if both lost, both lost their souls.
Tomb Robber Vicky: Yeah, he managed to survive yet another duel. Very true, no one expects him to use it due to how he is. He prefers not to use the Egyptian God whenever it's possible to not. It should be interesting to see the brothers teaming up in their duel. Trust me Bakura, he's not for hire. Vampires don't like being hired out, although, half demons have no problems. Here is my business card and rates.
Isis the Sphinx: Lol, a bit. I had watched a lot of Naruto during this time when I wrote these chapters, and have taken a liking to it. Lol, very true, it is annoying, but that's Naruto for you. As Kakashi (sp?) says, he maybe not pretty, but he gets the job done.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Yeah, I had to have him summon Anubis eventually, so I thought why not in the face of one of his big battles. Vash and Ryou have an uphill battle to fight against the two ninjas. And yes, you're right, they sound familiar. Hmm, could they be like the dynamic duo from Naruto? Or are they them? But yes, their decks are tough, so it'll be interesting to see how strong Vash and Ryou are as a team.
Okay, that's enough for this morning. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue posting my reviews and chapters. At any rate, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Till next time, later.
Chapter 35
"Get up you fool!" called out Ryou. Vash looked over to see Ryou was looking straight at him. Slowly, Vash did stand back up, but was panting heavily.
Ryou drew and smirked, saying "Let's see just how far I can get this turn. I'll start my turn by play the spell card Dark Hole, destroying everything on the field!" A large swirling black hole then appeared on the field. It sucked up all the monsters, easily crushing each.
Suke growled in frustration, for he had lost his powerful offense, not to mention he had nothing out to protect himself. Ryou then said "I'm not through yet, for now I reveal my face down spell card called Dark World Lightning! Now I can destroy one face down card on the field so long as I discard one card, so I discard my Broww, Huntsman of Dark World to the Graveyard in order to destroy the right face down card on Haru's field!"
A streak of lighting then flashed across the field as it struck the one face down card, instantly revealing it to be a trap known as Sakuretsu Armor. Haru only blinked for a moment, but still smiled on.
"Now thanks to me discarding Broww, his effect kicks in. I now get to draw one additional card. Next, I'll reveal another Dark World Lighting, and target the other right hand card by discarding my Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World to the Graveyard!" Another streak of lightning then flashed and struck the right hand card on Haru's field. It was revealed to be Final Attack Orders. Still, there was no reaction out of Haru over the loss of the card.
"Time for me to activate Goldd's special ability. You see, when he's discarded from my hand to the Graveyard, I can special summon him back to my field, so rise Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World (2300/1400) in attack mode!" A powerful bronze and grey skinned creature with golden looking wings then appeared. He had large muscles with a helmet that had horns on it. He also wielded a powerful axe that had a golden blade.
"I'll now summon Sangan (1000/600) in defense mode." An orange fur ball creature with three eyes, green arms, and green feet then appeared on the field.
"Now Goldd, attack Suke with Dark World Axe Slash directly!" The monster let out a mighty roar as it romped across the field and struck Suke hard with it's golden axe, making Suke slide backwards a bit. He remained standing, but barely.
"That'll end my move for now. Show me what you've got there kiddies." (Vash, Ryou 2900; Suke, Haru 5700)
Growling softly, Suke turned to Haru and said "Hey dummy, get your head in the game! Hurry up and do something about their advance."
Nodding, Haru drew and grinned with mischief on his face. "I now summon Lady Ninja Yae (1100/300) in attack mode." A female ninja with green hair and a purple outfit then appeared on the field, letting out a small battle cry.
"I now activate Yae's effect. By discarding one Wind attribute monster, I can send all spell and trap cards of my opponents to their hands, so I send a second Lady Ninja Yae to the Graveyard, so do your stuff Yae!" The lady ninja leapt into the air and then began to spin rapidly. A cyclone formed around her, and strong winds from the spinning then forced all of the spell and trap cards on the field back into both Ryou and Vash's hands.
Once the windstorm was over, Haru grinned and said "Next, I'll play the equip spell card Fuhma Shuriken. This equip card can only work on monsters that have the name 'Ninja' in it. It now boosts my Lady Ninja Yae's attack points by 700 (1800/300)." The lady ninja then caught several shuriken that materialized on the field and held them in between her fingers.
"Lady Ninja Yae, attack Vash directly with Shuriken Storm!" The female ninja then began spinning rapidly again. As the cyclone twisted, several shuriken came flying out of the cyclone straight for Vash.
With only a moment to spare, Ryou called out "I move my Sangan in to intercept your attack!" The orange fur ball creature quickly bounded across the field and jumped in front of Vash and took the hit instead, causing the monster to wail and explode into many little pieces.
Smirking still, Ryou said "Now that Sangan is in my Graveyard, I can add one monster with 1500 or less attack points from my deck to my hand, so I'll pick another Broww, Huntsman of Dark World."
Haru smirked and nodded, saying "Nice team work. You'll need it to beat us, believe it! I'll end my move now." (Vash, Ryou 2900; Suke, Haru 5700)
Looking straight ahead, Ryou said "Don't make me regret saving you Vash."
Nodding, Vash drew and said "First, I'm going to place two cards face down and play the spell Masked Doll again. Next, I summon Shadowknight Archfiend (2000/1600) in attack mode!" A black skinned creature with bronze armor and large black wings appeared. On it's right hand was a sword like weapon, and on his left was a forked claw.
"Shadowknight Archfiend, attack Ninja Lady Yae with Twin Shadow Slash!" The bronze armored creature quickly rushed across the field, preparing to slash it's target.
Haru only lightly chuckled and said "Not so fast, I was waiting for that. I reveal the trap card Ninjitsu Art of Decoy! This trap allows me to select one monster on my field with the name 'Ninja' in it. As long as this trap remains on the field, the selected monster can't be destroyed due to battle, so I pick my Ninja Lady Yae! Of course, I still do get hit for battle damage, but it's worth it, believe it!" The bronzed monster continued on and slashed it's sword at the ninja. She put up her hands which held the shuriken still, forcing the blade back and keeping herself alive.
Sighing, Vash said "My Shadowknight Arcfiend's effect reduces the damage I inflict on you by half, so you're lucky I only did 100 damage. I guess that'll end my move then." (Vash, Ryou 2900; Suke, Haru 5600)
Suke quickly drew and smirked, saying "Now it's time we seal the deal, eh Haru?"
Nodding back, Haru replied "Believe it!"
Smirking evilly, Suke said "Well then, let's do it! I play the Seal of Orichalcos!"
That said, Suke jammed the card into his field card slot on his Duel Disk, making both his and Haru's Duel Disks glow green. A large green circle then started slowly falling from the sky as it rapidly spun. It then landed on the ground, sending out a wave of energy. A six pointed star then formed within the circle, showing that the seal was now active. Both Haru and Suke then revealed that they had the seal on their foreheads.
Chuckling evilly, Suke said "You're both finished! There is no way you can stop the two of us now!"
"Believe it!" added in Haru.
"And don't forget, each of our monsters gain 500 attack points (1800 + 500 2300/200). That alone is enough to defeat you both. I'll end my move." called out Suke. (Vash, Ryou 2900; Suke, Haru 5600)
"Darn, I was hoping they'd not play that card." Vash mentally said.
Ryou drew his card and looked at it with a smirk, saying "I'll play the spell card Pot of Greed. Now I can draw two new cards. Next I'll place one card face down and then I'll play the spell card called Card Destruction, forcing us all to discard our entire hands and redraw the same number of cards from our deck. Since only Vash and myself have cards in our hands, we each get to redraw new cards." Both Vash and Ryou then sent their cards to their Graveyards as Ryou smirked evilly as he drew his cards.
"Now to tell you what I just discarded. I sent Broww, Huntsman of Dark World, meaning his effect kicks in, allowing me to draw one new card. Next, the other monster I sent was Sillva, Warlord of Dark World, which has a very special effect. When sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, I can special summon it back, so welcome back Sillva, Warlord of Dark World (2300/1400) in attack mode!" A creature covered in silver and grey armor then appeared. It had large muscles, and a powerful blade held upside down. A large dark grey cloak also hung off it's back.
"Next I'll summon Scarr, Scout of Dark World (500/500) in defense mode." A red skinned creature on four legs appeared on the field. His hind legs looked more like a dogs than anything. He had two spikes also jutting out from the back of his body also.
"Since you're wide open there Suke, I think it's time you paid for your earlier shots in on my vessel's brother. Sillva, attack Suke directly with Dark World Silver Slash!" The grey creature quickly made it's way across the field, and pulled back it's arm that held the upside down blade.
Before it could arrive though, Haru called out "I move Ninja Lady Yae in to defend Suke!" The female ninja quickly leapt in front of Suke with arms crossed. The grey monster swung it's blade at the ninja, but the ninja caught it with her shuriken and was only thrown backwards a little bit.
"Don't forget, my ninja can survive any attack, so you just wasted your attack, believe it!"
Lightly growling, Ryou knew that this meant no attack on Suke would work. And worst of all, his monsters were even in strength with the female ninja. Looking at his hand, he said "I'll end my move then." (Vash, Ryou 2900; Suke, Haru 5600)
Haru then drew and smiled, saying "I play my Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards. And now, I'll play Premature Burial, which costs me 800 life points, but I get to revive one monster in my Graveyard to the field in attack mode, so I choose Mystic Tomato (1400 + 500 1900/1100)." The red tomato creature with glaring yellow eyes and sharp teeth returned to the field. It's forehead then glowed green as the seal appeared on it's forehead, making it's eyes glow bright red.
"Next I'll summon my favorite ninja, Strike Ninja (1700 + 500 2200/1200) in attack mode." A ninja in black clothing, a mask that had some gold on it, and a kunai in his hand one hand. A red sash whipped in the wind from his belt, and the seal then appeared on his forehead, making him much more formidable.
"And now, Mystic Tomato, attack Vash's Shadowknight Archfiend with Tomato Roll!" The red tomato creature quickly started rolling like a bowling ball towards the bronze armored creature.
Vash was surprised at this, but called out "Your tomato is too weak. Shadowknight, counter attack with Twin Shadow Slash!" The bronze armored monster quickly slashed through the tomato with one arm first, then his second arm, making quick work of the weaker tomato and destroying it.
Haru simply clapped and said "Thanks, for now I can use my tomato's effect. When he's sent to the Graveyard due to battle, I can special summon one Dark attribute monster from my deck to the field in attack mode, so long as it has 1500 or less attack points. And the one I choose is another Mystic Tomato (1400 + 500 1900/1100)." Another red tomato with evil eyes and sharp teeth then appeared on the field.
"Mystic Tomato, attack Shadowknight Archfiend with Tomato Roll!" The new tomato creature made a beeline for the bronzed creature. As it approached, it began to roll faster and faster, seemingly like a red bowling ball.
Vash simply scratched his head and called out "Shadowknight, take that thing down with Twin Shadow Slash!" The bronzed fiend heard it's orders and quickly slashed through the tomato, cutting it completely in half, causing it to cry out in pain and explode.
Again, Haru clapped his hands and said "Thanks again, for now I can special summon another Mystic Tomato (1900/1100) in attack mode. Mystic Tomato, attack Shadowknight Archfiend with Tomato Roll!" The creature followed the path of it's two other fallen comrades, seemingly ramming itself straight for the bronzed fiend.
Sighing, Vash said "You sure are a dense one! Shadowknight, destroy that tomato with Twin Shadow Slash!" As before, the bronzed fiend cleaved up the tomato, causing the tomato to let out a cry as it exploded.
Clapping again, Haru said "Now I'll special summon Giant Germ (1000 + 500 1500/100) in attack mode." A purple sphere like creature with some kind of goop inside of itself then appeared on the field.
"Giant Germ, attack Vash's Shadowknight Archfiend with Germ Splash!" The purple blob quickly moved forward at tremendous speed, preparing itself to slam into the bronzed fiend.
Sighing with annoyance, Vash called out "Are you blind?! Maybe this will open your eyes! Shadowknight, counter attack that thing with Twin Shadow Slash!" Hearing it's orders, the bronzed creature made a twin slashing motion with both weapons, easily cutting through the purple blob creature, causing purple goop to fall onto Vash's Duel Disk.
Smirking, Haru said "Thanks for that one, for now you've triggered Giant Germ's special ability. When sent to the Graveyard due to battle, you lose 500 life points." The goop on Vash's Duel Disk then suddenly electrified, shocking Vash hard and making him scream out in pain. The goop finally burned off, but Vash was slightly shaken by the experience.
"That's not all though, for now my Giant Germ's other effect kicks in. I get to special summon from my deck up to two more Giant Germs from my deck into attack mode, so I'll now do that. Rise up my two Giant Germs (1500/100)!" Two more purple blob monsters then appeared on the field, each wiggling.
"Now my two Giant Germs, attack Shadowknight Archfiend with Germ Splash!" The two purple blobs then flew straight for the bronze armored monster. The bronzed fiend then took exception to this and slashed each, one with each weapon. This caused a powerful explosion and flung purple ooze onto Vash's Duel Disk.
"Don't forget, you now lose 500 points per a destroyed Giant Germ. That's got to be painful, believe it!" mocked Haru as Vash was shocked violently by the purple ooze. He fell to his one knee and sat there panting as wisps of smoke poured off him.
"Time to get down to business now and finish you two off. Strike Ninja, attack his Shadowknight Archfiend with Kunai Slash!" The ninja quickly ran across the field, pulling his kunai into an attack position.
Before he reached his target though, Ryou called out "I activate my trap card, Sakuretsu Armor! Now your little ninja is destroyed!" A wall of grey armor then appeared on the field in front of the bronze armored fiend and leapt forward.
As it neared the ninja, Haru called out "Not so fast, I activate my Strike Ninja's special ability! By removing from play from my Graveyard two Dark attribute monsters, I can remove from play my Strike Ninja till my End Phase, thus saving him. So now, I remove from play two Giant Germs. Strike Ninja, use your Escape Jitsu!" The ninja stopped his running assault and then held up two closed fingers. He then vanished in a puff of smoke as the grey armor ran through the smoke and then shattered.
Smirking, Haru then said "You'll pay for that one later, but for now, Lady Ninja Yae, attack Shadowknight Archfiend with Shuriken Storm!" The female ninja leapt forward and began to spin rapidly like a cyclone. Several shuriken then came pouring out from the cyclone, each aimed for the bronzed fiend.
"Not this time!" called out Vash, who had struggled back to his feet, but was still panting. "I reveal my trap card, Archfiend's Roar! This trap costs me 500 life points, but due to Masked Doll, I pay nothing. Now I can revive one Archfiend monster from my Graveyard and place it back on the field, so I'll revive my Vilepawn Archfiend (1200/200) in defense mode!" The white armored fiend then returned to the field in a kneeling position with his arms crossed.
"And when Vilepawn Archfiend is on the field, no other Archfiends can be attacked, so your attack is redirected to him!" The white armored fiend then leapt up and took the full hit for the bronze armored fiend. All of the shuriken struck the white armored fiend, making it cry out in pain as it exploded.
Haru growled lightly and said "Fine then, I'll move to my End Phase where my Strike Ninja returns." The black clothed ninja then reappeared on the field with a small battle cry.
"That'll end my turn, but you'll both be finished soon! Believe it!" (Vash, Ryou 1400; Suke, Haru 4700)
Sighing slightly, Vash looked at his deck, knowing he had to draw something good this turn. "I can't go on defending. I've got to get a good monster. If I don't, in a few turns, me and Ryou will be finished off, and then who will save Bakura? I have to be strong, and now is my chance to prove I am!"
Drawing, Vash looked at his card and smirked, saying "I sacrifice my Shadowknight Archfiend in order to summon the Skull Archfiend of Lightning (2500/1200) in attack mode!" The bronze armored fiend vanished and a monster that looked like a skeleton with red muscle on the bones appeared in it's place. It had mighty wings, large horns on it's head, and powerful sharp clawed hands.
"Next I place one card face down, and now Skull Archfiend of Lightening, attack his Lady Ninja Yae with Lightning Blast!" The winged creature held up both it's clawed hands and then sent a sphere of lightning flying at the female ninja. She took the hit head on, but was able to survive the blast.
"That shall do it for me. Let's see what you've got there chaps." (Vash, Ryou 1400; Suke, Haru 4500)
