Aaron spent the majority of his day preparing for his duel. Sadly, Orwin could not make it because he had to go to a museum banquet; Blair on the other hand was eager to support Aaron during his duel. When the time came, Aaron found himself in the dining room which had been cleared to form a small dueling arena.
"Where's my opponent?" Aaron asked glaring at his father who smiled.
"Here he is now." Aaron's father said when a man wearing a red, white, and blue bandana walked in to the room. "This is Bandit Keith, your opponent." Aaron's father said smiling.
"Your pop said that I get fifty g's if I win. Plus he gave me twenty-five to get some new cards." Bandit Keith said as he powered on his duel disk.
Aaron had read about Bandit Keith for being a notorious cheater and a user of machine types; clearly chosen as an intimidation tactic by his father. Aaron powered on his duel disk and the duel began with 4000 life points each.
Keith started by drawing a card. "I summon one monster in facedown defense mode and play one card facedown." Keith said ending his turn.
Aaron drew a card. "I summon Slate Warrior in attack mode. Slate Warrior, attack his facedown." Aaron cringed when he saw the facedown flip over to reveal Blast Sphere, and it equipped itself on to Aaron's monster.
"Next turn, say goodbye to your warrior and your life points." Keith chuckled.
Aaron wasn't phased by the move. "I play Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your Blast Sphere. I play one card facedown and end my turn."
Keith drew his card. "I activate Call of the Haunted and bring back my Blast Sphere. I tribute my Blast Sphere to summon Machine King. Now Machine King, destroy his Slate Warrior! That cash is as good as mine." Keith chuckled as Aaron's monster was destroyed and his life points fell down to 3600 and his Slate Warrior's ability kicked in reducing his Machine King's attack down to 1800.
Keith ended his turn and Aaron drew his card. "I always have another plan. I summon another Slate Warrior. Now, he'll destroy your Machine King."
Keith interrupted. "Not so fast. I activate DNA Surgery, so now your Slate Warrior is a machine type meaning that my king gains another 100 attack points, so both of our monsters will be destroyed now." Aaron cringed as he watched both monsters destroy themselves. Aaron played one card facedown and ended his turn.
Keith smiled as he drew his card. "I play Monster Reborn and bring back my king. Next, I summon Luster Dragon in attack mode."
"I activate Metal Reflect Slime." Aaron called out revealing his facedown.
"That won't help you kid. I play Limiter Removal and double the attack of all the machine types on my field, and thanks to DNA Surgery all of my monsters are machine types." Aaron cringed as he watched all of the monsters grow stronger.
"Now, Luster Dragon, destroy that slime!" Keith shouted as he watched Aaron's monster get destroyed. "Now, it's time to finish you off and collect my money. Machine King, attack him directly." Keith called out only to be interrupted by Aaron.
"I activate Enchanted Javelin and absorb your Machine King's attack." Aaron felt the brief sensation of gaining life points only for them to be taken away by Keith's attack. Keith ended his turn as he watched all of his monsters be destroyed by Limiter Removal's effect.
Aaron drew his card. "I summon Giant Germ in attack mode. Giant Germ, attack him directly." Aaron said smiling briefly as he watched Keith's life points fall down to 3000. Aaron ended his turn.
"Pitiful mistake, kid." Keith smirked as he drew his card. "I play Premature Burial and bring back my king for 800 life points." Aaron watched as the monster came back, and thanks to DNA Surgery it had 2400 attack. Keith's life points fell down to 2200. "Machine King, destroy that germ." Keith said as the monster destroyed Aaron's monster. Aaron's life points fell down to 2200, but he summoned two more Giant Germs while Keith's life points fell down to 1700 from Giant Germ's effect.
Keith ended his turn while Aaron's ring was glowing vibrantly; Aaron needed to draw a good card or else he would lose this duel. "Toss both the items that resonate with the Orichalcos to the sky, and observe a newer power." The ring said. Aaron pulled the Orichalcos stone from his pocket, and it was also glowing brightly.
"Enough with the light show already!" Keith shouted. Aaron ignored him and tossed the stone and his ring in to the air; both of the items started spinning and a green ball of light formed around the items.
The orb of light floated back down to Aaron and began speaking. "Accept the power." Aaron obeyed and stuck his hand in to the ball of light which burst when Aaron's full hand was enveloped by the light. Aaron looked at his hand and saw a black leather biker glove with an Orichalcos stone embedded on the back of the glove; the stone glowed. "Draw." It commanded while glowing.
Aaron's hand also glowed while he drew his card. "Orichalcum draw!" He shouted drawing his card. Once he drew the card, the glowing stopped; it was the card that he needed. "I tribute my two Giant Germs to summon Emes the Infinity. Next, I equip him with Sword of the Orichalcos. I pay 2100 life points to boost Emes' attack by 4200. Emes destroy his Machine King and finish this duel." Aaron said calmly as his monster attacked Machine King and Keith's life points fell down to zero.
Once the duel ended, Blair hugged Aaron. Aaron then walked over to his father. "A deal's a deal." His father said extending his hand; Aaron reluctantly shook his hand still glaring at him. Aaron then walked out of the room, and got ready for bed; he was happy that his father wouldn't be bothering him anymore. His father on the other hand was not happy and walked over to Keith and began chewing him out for losing the duel.
"I gave you twenty-five thousand dollars to get a new deck and you still lost. Pathetic." Aaron's father said spitting on Keith.
"I'm outta here." Keith said walking out of the room. Aaron's father on the other hand was still unhappy that Aaron could continue dueling freely. Aaron would be heading back to Duel Academy in a few days, so he would be happy to have Aaron out of his hair for a while.
