Hmmm I hope I didn't accidentally make Kai too much like an assholish version of Strafe
Anyway sorry this chapter is so short
. . .
Kai looked at himself in the mirror. Brown bangs covered his left eye while safely revealing his right eye, a mysterious orb with a dark blood red iris. His otherwise standard Obelisk Blue Uniform sported a golden line leading from his left sleeve to just above his elbow. "He's late," Kai whispered to his reflection. "Where are you, Sousuke?" He looked around his room, almost as if waiting for someone to answer. All he saw were the normal contents of his room, a king sized bed with blue sheets, a closet full of clothes he rarely got to wear, and a bookshelf full of thick novels written in multiple languages, like English, French, Spanish, Japanese, and even German.
He let out a sigh of defeat and turned back to the mirror. "I know you're here, Ienzo."
A young male appeared behind Kai. He wore a black T-Shirt with a picture on it. The pictured displayed C.C. and Pikachu in Organization XIII outfits, each wielding a Keyblade. His light-blue feathered hair bounced as he stepped forward. "Heh, you're getting good at sensing my presence."
"You're not as good at these illusions as you think you are, Ienzo. Or could it be that you're attention is diverted? Perhaps with those friends you've trapped in your illusion?"
"Indeed you are perceptive," Ienzo said calmly. "We've drawn in Hikaru and Morganna, and we almost got Naota and Nayuta but they escaped. We intend to capture them along with Emi, Isamu, and Haley."
"What about Ryou?" Kai questioned.
"Have you not noticed? He's breaking. Morganna seems to have done much of your work for you. It's quite funny really. She's after Skeith as well. Take advantage of her work and then claim Skeith as the Organization's." Ienzo wrapped his arms around Kai's waist in a teasing manner. "If all goes well we servants will take care of the heroes," Ienzo wrapped some of Kai's hair around his finger and began to twirl it, "But in case we fail, concentrate your efforts on Naota. Ender says that that boy is ready to break. Crush him and he's yours, Kai."
Ienzo released the Obelisk Blue student. "Toodles, my dear Kai," he said as he vanished.
Kai laughed. "Ienzo you sure are a weird one. If the Servants weren't our only connection with the Octogram, I'd probably sue you for sexual harassment." Ignoring the countless thoughts swimming in his head, Kai turned to one of the books on his shelf and began to read from it. It was written in Japanese.
They will call themselves the Servants. They shall play a game with the worlds and they shall mark the beginning of a test for humanity. If humanity passes, then we shall continue to live and thrive just as before. If we fail, then our world shall turn to the shadows.
The book was titled The Thousand Prophecies of Daidouji Tomoyo.
"Her prophecy dictates that a test will begin soon," Kai slammed the book shut and blew some dust off the cover. "I wonder what kind of test it will be." He smiled as he opened the door. "Hello, Sousuke."
"How'd you know I was here?" Asked the stunned duelist.
"I could hear your footsteps. Oh I se your friend came with you. Hello Fumiko, it's a pleasure to see you."
"Pardon the intrusion, but I couldn't resist the chance to watch you duel. I hear you've got a lot of talent," Fumiko flirted with a smile.
"Fumiko, we're here so I can duel him not so you can ask him on a date," Sousuke complained.
Kai only smiled. "Why, thank you for such a lovely compliment." Inside his head, the words came out a bit differently. 'I don't care at all about you two. I just needed the chance to test my modified deck. She sent me some new cards and I'm desperate to see how they work.'
"So, how are you doing?" Sousuke asked. "I haven't heard much about the Organization's higher members. Just that you guys apparently can't duel without causing too much damage to a person's psyche."
"Yes," Kai admitted. "That is true. That's why I wanted to practice with you first. Don't get me wrong. You aren't some guinea pig. The worst that could happen is that you get knocked out for an hour or two." Kai pulled a small black tome off the shelf and opened it up to reveal its hollow interior. Resting within the book was a small notebook. Kai opened it up. "You see, though we have over half the school brainwashed, it's like having a bunch of useless crap. It might seem like we're doing well, but few of our members will actually help break the seal on Skeith. It's like having 20 cards in your hands but nothing good enough to win. You seem to be in a good position, but you really can't gain much of a benefit with what you have. The ones who need to be broken, well, they seem to be doing to well for the weaker agents to handle. So now, we higher ups are intervening, but we don't need a mess on our hands. If we go after a potential victim and put them in a coma, we can't use them to free Skeith."
Sousuke smiled. "I see, sounds like things are about to speed to a conclusion. If you and the other top members of the group are making your moves."
"Yes, Hazel, Manchester, Aiko, and I will be doing our best to release Skeith of the Octogram." In his head, he added, 'Because you guys seem to be messing around far too much.' He activated his Duel Disk and offered a friendly smile." But enough chatter, I believe you came for a duel."
Both players drew five cards. "I'll make the first move," Kai said as he added a sixth to his hand. "I'll set one card and end my turn."
Sousuke looked at his options. 'I can summon a few really powerful monsters right now, but he could have something like Mirror Force or Magic Cylinder waiting to spring on me. Damn, he's wide open but he's got me backed into a corner. Anyone else and I'd just attack, but he's one of the best. No wonder these guys are so good.'
Kai kept up his piercing glare, daring Sousuke to attack.
"I summon Gemini Elf in attack Mode." (1900/900) Sousuke watched proudly as his twin elves appeared on the field. 'Just one attack and I can cut his Life Points down to nearly half.'
"You know, I understand that since Special Summoning is the Meta, many people don't care about this card anymore, but sometimes you can really half a lot of fun with the classics," Kai bantered away as he swung his arm out to activate his face down trap. "Trap Hole will destroy your monster now."
The blonde elf ran forward. Her fist began to glow a bright purple. She swung hard at Kai's unguarded abdomen, only to find herself falling as the ground collapsed beneath her. Seeing her sister vanish, the other elf rushed forward, only to vanish into another well-placed pitfall.
"I set two cards and end my turn," announced Sousuke. He hoped that his two face down cards would be enough to protect him, but knew that a Giant Trunade or Heavy Storm would be enough to render them both useless. 'I have Mirror Force and Magic Cylinder, in case he destroys one. Hmm maybe I should have only played one and kept the other as back up in my hand in case he has a mass Spell or Trap Destruction card in his hand. Dammit, I should have been paying more attention during tactic classes.'
"Oh, two face down cards. I shall have to be careful as I proceed. I wouldn't ant to get hurt,' Kai said with a smile. 'As if you could touch me.' He selected his card with much thoughtful consideration. "I'll summon Serpent Eel in attack mode. (700/500) I'll attack you directly!"
A silver eel swam towards Sousuke and rammed into his side, sending jolts of electricity coursing through his body.
Sousuke: 3300
"Since my monster successfully attack directly its effect will kick in. First, you draw two cards then discard any one card from your hand. Afterwards, you return one card in your hand to the bottom of the deck."
"Interesting effect. I end up with the same number of cards, but my hand could change completely. Still, it's a risky move for you. I can get rid of unwanted cards in my hand while I search for something better." Sousuke drew two cards and slipped one away with ease. He carefully considered a few calculations and selected the one that he would be most comfortable returning to his deck.
"I'll set three cards face down and end my turn, Kai explained.
Sousuke smiled as he drew another card. "Thanks for helping me to bring out my most powerful monster. By removing a Normal Spellcaster from my grave, I can Special Summon Neon Magician Alcatraz from my hand." (3800/ 1800) "The turn he's summoned his stats will be double that of the monster used to summon him." The magician had a charming smile and flowing green hair. His robes were of a fluorescent orange color. It was almost painful to look at him. "When the turn ends his stats will be cut down to the original attack and defense of my elf." Sousuke grabbed another card and prepared to play it. 'Wait, his trap could leave me defenseless. I might want to think of saving this summon for later. No, I could win this right now, it's worth the risk. I can at least be sure of that. Besides, I'll still have two face downs that he'd need to clear first.' He slapped it down on his disk. "I summon a second Mystical Elf in attack mode!" (1900/900) Two more elves appeared, looking much like the first two. "Go, my Neon Magician, Neon Magic Attack!" Flashy lights erupted from his outstretched wand as the magician guided an attack toward the fish.
Water flooded the field as Kai sprung his trap. "Abyssal Whirlpool," he announced. A small whirlpool sucked up the contents of the Neon Magic Attack. "This Continuous Trap Card forbids you from attacking any Water monster unless you discard a card first."
Sousuke thought it over and discarded his leftmost card.
"Now I activate Magical Thorn! You take 500 damage whenever you discard a card!"
The magical colors of Alcatraz's attack burst forth from the whirlpool and slaughtered Kai's eel.
Kai: 900
Sousuke: 2800
"Now my Eel's other effect comes into play. When he's destroyed in battle, I can discard a card to Special Summon another one from my deck." Kai slipped one card into the graveyard and watched a new eel take the old one's place. "So, will you continue the attack?"
Sousuke nodded as he discarded his last card. The blonde elf jumped over the whirlpool and punched through the eel. Kai simply discarded another card to bring the third Eel to the field. (700/500)
Sousuke: 2300
"I end my turn." Kosuke announced.
"Good, now Abyssal Whirlpool will let you draw a new card for each you discarded. But first I activate Greed, so you take 500 damage during the end phase for each card you drew outside of the draw phase."
Sousuke reluctantly drew two new cards.
Sousuke: 1300
"You're down to 900 Life Points, have no cards in your hand, and drawing extra cards will only result in your defeat." Sousuke pointed out.
"Perhaps. But perhaps I've already gotten what I needed to win." Kai said as he drew his next card. "I need only activate this spell I now hold in my hand."
'Damn his improbably good luck,' Sousuke mentally cursed.
"I activate the Spell Card Vicious Current. By reducing the attack of one Level 3 or Lower Fish or Sea Serpent monster by 500 points, I am able to have it attack directly. In addition, you can not activate a Trap in respond\se to its effect. So, my Eel, Electric Tango!" (200/500)
The eel shot forth and zapped Sousuke.
Sousuke: 1100
"Now draw two cards and discard one," Kai instructed. Sousuke obeyed. (LP: 600) "Return one to your deck," Kai said with a smile. Sousuke willingly followed the orders. A pathetic look attached itself to his face. He knew defeat was coming. "And I end my turn."
Greed took effect.
Sousuke: 0
"This duel was over for quite sometime you know. Even if I hadn't drawn that card, most of the other cards in my deck would have still lead to your defeat." Kai explained. "I don't mean to brag or boast, but I can tell from that look on your face that you think this is all luck." Kai flipped the next card of his deck. "Slip Serpent. It's a Level 5 so I would only need to get rid of my other Eel to bring him out. When he's attacked, you'd have to discard your entire hand and draw five new cards, so that still would have ended badly for you. What's more is that on the turn he's destroyed I can reduce any damage I'd take to 0 by removing him from play."
Sousuke smiled. "Wow, that sounds like a nasty card. I'd hate to be the one who faces that thing."
"Yes, luckily for you, I don't intend to duel you ever again. No offense, while our meeting was fun, I just want to get this all over with as soon as possible. Once we all free Skeith, I'm giving up Duel Monsters."
