Hey everyone. Well, the elections are finally over now, thankfully. I never thought it would end, but unluckily, it hasn't completely… (//Sighs\\) Oh well, at least the majority is over. Now the messages and the screaming this person is wrong, this person is an idiot, etc, is finally done. But otherwise, things are good here. My apartment got power Monday sometime or another, so when I arrived, it was on. Me and my family moved the furniture around and now I just have to finish moving in and unpack.
Anyways, last time, Vash and Ryou continued their struggle against the ninja duo, but are yet to wrap things up. Can the brothers hang on and win, or will their fate be the same as Bakura and Marie?
Alright, now that I got everything ready, time to run through the reviews!
x-knight20: Thanks, and I had been holding Anubis back for the right moment. I'm glad you liked that he finally arrived.
Isis the Sphinx: Yes, some kind of strategy. What kind, who knows, lol. But anyways, yeah, I kind of poked fun at Naruto. It was the early episodes where he appeared clueless and said nothing but "Believe it!" I was so horribly disappointed to when he first transformed. I expected a long dragged out battle, but it was terribly short. (//Sighs\\)
Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks for the comments, and yeah, the power finally got turned on, so happy day! Now I just have to finish moving stuff out there, like my TV, computer, and other bed. I can deal without the bed, but not some kind of entertainment!
Tomb Robber Vicky: Very true, and if given a chance, Haru and Suke could possibly take the brothers down, and hard. Uh, I wasn't brainwashed Bakura, but you should hire me. Nothing goes over like a half demon mercenary.
Ryon Nakura: That is somewhat ridiculous. (//Hacks back in and adds in that Ryon plays with dolls.\\) That's better, hehe.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Haru sure is sneaky, and he isn't through yet I'm sure. But yeah, you'll see soon enough what Suke has up his sleeve. Could be anything you know, knowing that ninja.
Ok, that's all for today. Thanks to everyone who wrote a review and looked at my story. Always remember, anyone can post a review, for I love to answer them and read the good and the bad comments. Till next time, enjoy.
Chapter 36
Suke picked up a card from his deck and smirked, saying "It's time I take care of you two fools. I play the spell card Pot of Avarice, allowing me to move five monsters from my Graveyard to my deck and then shuffle and draw two new cards. I send Red-Eyes Black Chick, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, Lord of Dragons, and Divine Dragon Ragnarok all to my deck. Now I shuffle and draw two."
A bigger smirk came across Suke's lips as he looked at his two new cards. "You two are going to lose very soon. You see, I'm a master at copying people's moves, and to show you that, I'll play this monster called Copy Cat (0 + 500 500/0)!" A monster with a blue hat and a mirror covering it's face then appeared on the field.
"Now Copy Cat can copy any monster on the field, so I'll have it choose to copy your Skull Archfiend of Lightning there Vash (500 + 2500 3000/1200)!" The monster then took in the reflection of Vash's creature and then morphed into the exact copy of the same creature. Every detail on the monster was the same.
"It's time I cut you down to size Vash! Skull Archfiend of Lightning, attack the Skull Archfiend of Lightning with Lightning Blast!" The winged creature let out a roar and raised it's hands, pulling lightning into them and forming a sphere. The sphere was then released and went flying straight at Vash's winged creature.
Smirking, Vash said "Bad move there chap! I have a trap called Mirror Force! Now all monsters on yours and your teammate's side of the field are destroyed that are in attack mode, so take that!" A wall of multicolored glass then appeared in front of Vash's winged creature. The lightning sphere then struck the wall and was sent flying backwards at the copy of the winged creature and the two ninjas.
Growling lightly, Haru said "Way to go and mess up Suke! No matter, I'll save my Strike Ninja by removing from play my other Giant Germ and one Mystic Tomato. Now Strike Ninja, use your Escape Jitsu!" The ninja brought his two fingers forward and then vanished a puff of smoke as the reflected shot from the glass wall came flying in. The female ninja was then struck hard and exploded into millions of pieces, and the copied version of the winged creature was struck as well, causing it to roar and explode.
Haru then laughed and said "By the way, since you just destroyed my Ninja Lady Yae, the equip card I had on her activates. Now you lose 700 points since Fuhma Shuriken was sent to the Graveyard, so take that!" A flurry of shuriken then came flying straight at Vash and hit him hard in the chest. He clutched his chest and sunk to one knee panting hard.
Suke only growled in frustration and said "I'll just end my move." (Vash, Ryou 700; Suke, Haru 4500)
Ryou smirked at the two and drew and said evilly "Well, I think it's time I finish you two off. With only Strike Ninja left, you can't defend against me all day. Now I remove from play from my Graveyard my both my Broww, Huntsman of Dark World, and Brron, Mad King of Dark World in order to special summon my Dark Necrofear (2200/2800) in attack mode." A blue skinned fiend with yellow eyes and black, red, and blue armor then appeared on the field. She let off a small growl, showing her intentions were not good.
"Next I'll sacrifice my Scarr to summon Dark Ruler Ha Des (2450/1600) in attack mode!" A monster with green skin, reddish shoulder armor, and a skull type chest plate then appeared on the field and let out an evil laugh.
"You fools are finished! Sillva, attack his pathetic Strike Ninja with Dark World Silver Slash!" The silver armored fiend quickly rushed across the field and pulled back it's blade, preparing to finish off the monster before it.
Haru was quick to call out "I activate Strike Ninja's special ability. Now I remove my two Mystic Tomato's from play in order to save him, so use Escape Jitsu now!" The ninja held up his fingers and concentrated and then vanished as the attack completely missed.
Laughing, Ryou said "You fools are now really finished! If you had stood your ground, perhaps you'd have made it, but no, you couldn't do that, now could you! Now Goldd, attack Haru directly with Dark World Axe Slash!" The powerful monster roared and romped forward, axe pulled back and poised to strike the young boy.
Suddenly, Suke called out "We're not finished yet! I activate my trap card, Physical Double! I told you all earlier I'm a good copier, and now I'll show you why! This trap now copies one monster on your side of the field, and can only be activated during one of your two's turns. I now get to select one monster on the field and copy it and create a Mirage Token. The token will have the exact same stats, level, attribute, and type as the copied monster. Now I'll choose to copy the Dark Necrofear, and I'll place my Mirage Token on the field in defense mode (2200/2800)!" An exact copy of the blue fiend monster then appeared on the field on Suke's side of the field.
"And now, I'll send my Mirage Token in to defend Haru!" The blue skinned fiend quickly leapt over in front of Haru and then caught the incoming axe slash. The axe was then thrown backwards, forcing the monster to leap back across the field.
Growling loudly, Ryou said "I must end my turn for now. Don't think this is over, for it's far from it!" (Vash, Ryou 200; Suke, Haru 4500)
As Ryou ended his turn, the token vanished from the field, and the ninja in black reappeared in front of Haru.
Smiling, Haru said "Thanks Suke. That was a great save!"
Suke only turned his face back towards the others, saying "Don't be so careless next time. I'm not here to bail you out all the time."
Growling, Haru yelled "BAIL ME OUT ALL THE TIME! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LOST ALL OUR MONSTERS BUT MY ONE!"
Suke only turned towards Haru with a smirk and said "Well, you should have been ready for anything!"
Growling loudly again, Haru yelled back "YOU MORON! YOU ALMOST MADE US LOSE FOR NO REASON!"
Still, Suke only continued to keep his cool and said "Just hurry up and finish them. We don't have all day, not to mention I'm sure Saka is missing me."
Grinding his teeth loudly, Haru yelled "We'll see about that! She likes me, not you!"
Clearing his voice, Ryou said "Are you two done yet? I don't have all day, and I'd like to finish this up."
Turning back to Ryou, Haru said "Shut up! I draw now, and summon Ninja Grandmaster Suke (1800 + 500 2300/1000) in attack mode!" A ninja with green clothing and silver for his mask, arm pads, and leg pads, and two kunai knives then appeared on the field.
"Ninja Grandmaster Suke, attack Dark Necrofear now with Grandmaster Slash!" The ninja took off at full sprint and slashed the weaker blue fiend monster with it's pair of kunai knives in a simple motion. The fiend let out a cry of agony and then exploded.
"That'll do it for…"
Before Haru could finish, Ryou said "Not so fast there! You activated my Dark Necrofear's special effect. When she's destroyed in battle, I can then take control of one of your monsters by equipping her to it. So, I'll equip Dark Necrofear to Ninja Grandmaster Suke!" The blue fiend monster then reappeared on the field, but was transparent. It then floated over to Haru's field and jumped inside of the green garbed ninja. The seal on his forehead vanished and he leapt over to Ryou's field.
Growling loudly, Haru yelled "I END MY MOVE THEN!" (Vash, Ryou 100; Suke, Haru 4500)
Looking at the field, Vash realized if he drew the right card, he could end the duel. Ryou then called out "Finish them Vash! I know you can, and will!"
Nodding at the spirit, Vash drew his card and smirked at it. "It's time to end this, once and for all. I now play the spell card Double Spell, allowing me to discard one spell card in order to use a spell card from one of you two's Graveyard, so I'll discard Monster Reincarnation, allowing me to activate Suke's Pot of Greed!"
Vash then picked up two new cards and smirked at them, saying "It's over for you both now. I first summon the Terrorking Archfiend (2000/1500) in attack mode!" The same white and red skeleton monster with red muscle then appeared on the field once again. His large sword was jammed into the ground as he stood there staring down his competition.
"And now, I play my Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three new cards, but I must discard two in the process." Closing his eyes, Vash picked up his next three cards and then slowly brought them up to look at them. He opened his eyes slowly and then saw the cards were what he needed to win.
"I'll send Archfiend of Gilfer and Darkbishop Archfiend to the Graveyard. Now I play Gilfer's effect. When sent to the Graveyard, I can equip it to a monster on the field and lower that monster's attack points by 500, so I equip it to your Strike Ninja now (1700/1200)!" The ninja suddenly seemed to weaken as his arms lowered, showing signs of tiring.
"I'm not through, for I now activate the card in my hand! I play the equip spell card Megamorph and equip it to the Skull Archfiend of Lightning! Here is how this card works. When my life points are lower than yours, my monster's attack points double, but when your life points are higher than mine, my monster's attack points are halved. Since I most certainly have less life points, Skull Archfiend of Lightning's attack points are doubled (5000/1200)!" The winged creature then growled loudly as sparks of electricity formed all over it's body, bringing it's power to unbelievable heights.
Haru and Suke watched in shock and horror as they knew it was about to be over. Seeing this, Vash sorrowfully said "I'm sorry, but I have to do this. Once we save the others, we'll save you."
Turning his head away, Vash called out "Terrorking Archfiend, attack Strike Ninja with Terror Slash!" The white and red monster quickly cross the field with sword raised and slashed the black garbed ninja hard, making him shatter into millions of pieces.
Still looking away, Vash yelled "Skull Archfiend of Lightning, finish it with Lightning Blast!" The powerful winged creature let out a loud cry and sent a sphere of lightning flying across the field at the two boys. Each was struck hard by the lightning, causing them to scream out in pain as they dropped to their knees.
Vash then looked at them with sorrowful eyes, seeing their life points finally drop to zero. The seal then enclosed on the two and began to glow brightly. It finally flashed a brilliant bright green and then sent a beam up into the sky. When the light died down, the two boys fell over to their sides, each paying the price for losing the duel.
Slowly walking over, Vash gently lifted each boy onto his shoulders and walked over to the jeep, and gently laid them into it. Ryou only watched this and said "Keh."
Glaring at Ryou, Vash coldly said "We should be grateful this wasn't our fate."
Ryou only laughed and said "If it was, then we wouldn't be having this conversation."
Vash then angrily said "Why can't you show a little compassion for these two!? They were just young kids for crying out loud!"
Smirking, Ryou replied "Because, I know they were our enemies. But yes, I do feel some compassion for them. They shouldn't have dueled us. They were just pawns in a game where we want the kings."
This made Vash feel slightly surprised. "The spirit actually feels slightly sorry for them." he mentally said in his mind with shock. Shaking his head, he said "Let's go."
Both then jumped into the jeep with Ryou driving. They then turned the jeep around to find the tracks that were made on coming out to their duel. Carefully, they followed them back, hoping to find their friends still in one piece.
