Chapter 52
Necromancy
//-/--/-/--//-/-/
A powerful golden aura surrounded Gyoku, making him roar in victory as his muscles began to grow at an alarming rate (2000/2000 + 4000/4000). "Their power can be a formidable force! Especially when played with a second Heavenly Battle Cry!"
The aura around the Chaotix Tai Gyoku Gars flared up making the warrior grow six beautiful glowing gold wings from his back (6000/6000 + 1000/1000). The light seemed to make Excelion roar out in pain and step back in fear. "May the light free you from this sadness and pain that constricts you…"
"No! Wait!" Vic shouted covering his eyes from the blinding light. "I-I can't lose!"
"Chaotix Tai Gyoku Gars! Strike down that demon who feeds on the sadness of Vic! Free him of this sadness and rid this world of this demon!" Raitai shouted into the air, getting a nod from his holy monster.
Gyoku slowly floated into the air, his wings piercing through the darkness with their light. All of a sudden, a powerful maelstrom flew behind the warrior sending a large amount of golden feathers flying into the demon. When the feathers made contact, many explosions covered the demon's entire body, destroying the evil creature in a matter of seconds. Vic winced waiting for the dark electricity to surge through his body, but instead of pain… (VLP: 0)
"…Huh? It's warm…" Vic stated before he fell to the ground, completely exhausted and his demon disappearing into the light.
"Vic…as punishment for this shadow game," Raitai started as his angelic warrior floated to the ground before him. "For the rest of the school year you will treat people with respect and become a great duelist…my friend."
As Gyoku disappeared, Raitai turned towards the other three domes of darkness, each of them acting violent. "I pray that the others come out alright…"
//-/--/--//-/-//-/
"Goliath…" Mustang started looking at Entei walking towards the two.
"Yes Mustang…" Goliath instantly understood and slowly walked over to face Hyoutei.
"…I don't want to face someone like you," Entei growled lifting up his duel disk, activating the device instantly. "But once I do so…I'll take down Goliath, then Raitai and that mystery guy!" (ELP: 4000)
"Entei…I've always wanted to face you..." Mustang replied pulling his hand of cards from his duel disk. "I was expecting it in a tournament match…but this will have to do…" (MLP: 4000)
"DUEL!"
"Watch out Die Hard! I'm coming for you!" Entei laughed pulling his next card. "And I'll start off with this spell card, Graceful charity!"
A powerful bright light showered over Entei as an angel descended from the light, pulling three cards from Entei's deck. With a quick look, Entei handed the angel two of his cards. "I'll discard the two Ghost Knight Blade Chains (1700/850 x2) from my hand to the graveyard. And next…I'll summon a monster on the defensive and place one card face down."
The two cards appeared before Entei, pushing away the dark smoke around them. "Turn end. You're up Mustang…"
"Then here I come!" Mustang shouted pulling his next card from his deck. At the sight of the card, Mustang couldn't help but smile. "I know exactly what you're planning…"
"Oh, and what might that be?" Entei asked with a crooked smile.
"That face down monster is Ghost Knight Lancer, you probably have Ghost Knight Swordsman in your hand and you're planning a direct attack next turn…" Mustang stated looking directly at Entei's widened eyes. "Well I know how to deal with that…"
'Not bad Mustang! Not bad at all…' Entei looked down to his face down cards that sat in front of him. 'How unfortunate…I have another strategy that was meant to take you and Vic down, should either proved to be a threat to me…'
"I summon Die Hard Slasher (2000/500)!" Mustang shouted slapping the card on his duel disk. From the dark smoke arisen a muscular handsome man with light green hair that was tied up with a blade at the end. He flexed his muscles to show the green armor attached to the sleeves of his black vest. His armored arms have blade like fingers on the end. His black pants have gray shin guards that have clawed armor on his heavy black boots. When the warrior smiled, a powerful bright light gleamed from the monster's mouth. "Attack! Die Hard Dynamic Slash!"
The large warrior slammed his clawed hands into the ground, unfortunately the warrior's claws were blocked by a very large black shield. The shield was held up by a mysterious phantom like man wearing an armored black overcoat over his entire body. The skin that is showing his mouth, underneath his black demonic mask with a pair of glowing red eyes (200/2300 + 600/0).
The phantom pushed the Die Hard Slasher back, making the warrior skid backwards and into Mustang. "What in the world is that?" (MLP: 3700)
"It's my Ghost Shield Gardna…and your monster wasn't strong enough to crack this defense," Entei chuckled crossing his arms. 'And it's only the beginning…'
Mustang just stepped back, somewhat mistaken about his counter strategy. 'Aw crap! I assumed! This is the crap that determines the match!'
"Hey! You done over there Die Hard?" Entei laughed crossing his arms. "Or are you just realizing that you're facing your executioner?"
"Not yet…I activate the spell card Mass Driver!" Mustang shouted when his powerful cannon appeared behind his back. "And…I'll end my turn…"
"Hmm…what's the matter Mustang…" Entei joked pulling his next card. "Afraid of little ghosts? Or perhaps…that you see me as an executioner, holding a large axe over your head, ready to swing?"
"No…it's your face that's scaring me…" Mustang replied rubbing the back of his head. 'Although…the ghosts aren't helping…'
"Heh, no point in acting cool right now…not with the axe coming closer and closer to your neck…" Entei chuckled slowly placing his next card onto his duel disk. "But you seem under the weather a little bit…perhaps this monster can help you…"
As soon as Entei slapped the card onto his duel disk, the dark mist around the two duelists began to form up into a mysterious phantom like man wearing an armored black doctor coat over his entire body. The skin that is showing his mouth, underneath his black demonic mask with a pair of glowing red eyes. In his hands is an old black medical kit that he slowly opened up and pulled out a syringe (0/0 + 600/0). "The Ghost Empire Medic can't promise that you'll be treated with respect…but better than the school's nurse."
"What are you planning Entei?" Mustang asked raising an eyebrow at the weird monster.
"Why would the one about to die need to ask the executioner a question like that?" Entei asked raising an open hand to his face down card. "Maybe the fear is making you wonder how I'll finish you off? If so, then…here's the first part of your demise in this duel! Reveal trap card, Revenge of the Deceased!"
The trap card flipped up showing a dark spirit of the Ghost Knight Swordsman slicing Gearfried the Iron Knight in the back. The card had a ghostly aura, only adding confusion to Mustang. "What in the world is that?"
"This happens to be your card of demise…" Entei chuckled before he realized what he said. "Not to related to the card…damn puns…"
"Yeah…that was stupid…" Mustang sighed lowering his head. "So…what does your trap do?"
"Well…how about I show you instead!" Entei laughed out loud, before thrusting his hand towards the Ghost Empire Medic. "Medic! Activate your special ability!"
The medic simply nodded before shattering into pixels, it was then two cards shot out from his deck and immediately were slapped on the duel disk. Before the mist began to form however, the aura around the Revenge of the Deceased trap floated around Mustang. Before he asked, he suddenly felt constricted. "W-what the heck…" (MLP: 3400)
"My traps ability inflicts three hundred points of damage every time a 'Ghost' monster is tributed for an effect…" Entei replied gesturing his hand towards the two forms of mist. "That's where Medic comes to play! I can tribute him for his effect to special summon two ghost monsters from my deck…with some restrictions…and I'll choose these two!"
The mists fell to the ground to reveal a pair of similar mysterious phantom young women wearing black revealing dresses with a red border on them. Their dresses showed off a decent amount of cleavage, and their long red hair is behind her black demonic mask with a pair of glowing red eyes. (500/250 + 600/0) At the sight of Mustang, the two women blew him a couple of kisses, making Mustang smile. "Heeeeeeeelllllllllllllloooooooooo ladies!"
A large sweat droplet appeared on the back of Entei's head, making him twitch his eye. "…I knew something like that was going to happen…"
"Hey…I'm not complaining…" Mustang sighed as the two women grabbed him by the arms and made goo goo eyes at him.
"I see you like the Ghost Mistresses…consider them as a gift from the executioner…" Entei chuckled before lifting another card in front of him. "Well…why don't you meet their master! I play Quick Summon! Allowing me an additional summon this turn! So I'll tribute one of the mistresses…to summon…"
One of the mistresses disappeared into the mist, before a new monster stepped from the mist. This one was a mysterious phantom like young man wearing a fancy armored black overcoat over his entire body. The skin that is showing his mouth, underneath his black demonic mask with a pair of glowing red eyes, while having beautiful combed back graying brown hair. In his hand is a fancy dark rapier that he twirled in his hand (2000/1000 + 600/0). "…Ghost Empire Prince!"
"Prince?" Mustang questioned as a dark aura surrounded the Prince…
"Yes…one of my more deadly monsters," Entei explained as the aura began to flow into the Prince's rapier. "You see…for each Fiend type monster on the field, he gains four hundred points."
The Ghost Empire Prince raised the rapier into the air as he roared a ghostly battle cry (2600/1000 + 1200/0). "And now…Prince! Attack his Slasher!"
Mustang blinked, and he missed his chance to see his monster sliced right down the middle by the powerful monster. (MLP: 1600)
"Oh great…" Van sighed before he felt something sweet on his cheek. "Huh?"
He turned to see the Ghost Mistress pulling away, with a smile on her face as she disappeared into a mist. "What just happened?"
"Simple…you see, after my Prince attacks, I have to tribute a monster on my side of the field," Entei explained as his trap card began to glow once more. "And since she was tributed by an effect…"
"…Oh crap…" Mustang sighed before his cheek began to burn as if he was actually on five. "DAMN IT! THAT'S THE THIRD WORST KISS I'VE HAD!" (MLP: 1300)
The aura around the Ghost Empire Prince had died down slightly (3800/1000 – 400/0).
Entei was for a loss of words as he slid his next card into his duel disk. '…If that's the third…what's the first and second?'
"Hold up! Your attack activated a trap card on my side of the field!" Mustang shouted while he rubbed his cheek. The trap card flipped up to show a young boy holding up a small letter with a heart on it to a busty young woman with a gun on her back. "It's called Die Hard Confession! And when you destroy a monster on my side of the field I can special summon a certain monster from my deck!"
The card shattered into a dark tanned man with bushy gray hair wearing a black headband to cover his eyebrows. His muscular body was covered with an orange ripped shirt with his dark green overcoat wrapped from his shoulder to his hip. Equipped on his right arm, a powerful large metallic gauntlet seems to be full of overpowering energy. The warrior smiled showing off his bright teeth (1000/1000). "So let's give a hand to Die Hard Dynamic Fist!"
"…Okay…that's a bad pun…" Entei sighed raising an eyebrow. "I'll end my turn…"
"And I'll start mine right now!" Mustang shouted pulling his next card from the top of his deck. "…Well now…it's my favorite combo! I play my spell card Die Hard Sacrifice!"
"Hmm…can't trick me Mustang! I know that spell card all to well!" Entei laughed holding hand over his face down card. "Which is why I prepared for that…with this!"
The face down card flipped up showing a young man falling in between a pair of pillars with many beams of light being pulled from his body. "It's called Thief of the Youth! And what it does, is that if you gain life points during the turn this card is activated, then I gain the exact same amount to mine!"
"Crap! I just made this harder!" Mustang sighed as five cards shot out of his deck and flew into his graveyard. That's when a powerful white light showered over the two duelists. (MLP: 3300) (ELP: 6000)
"Now then…you'll play Pot of Avarice, to get back the monsters…" Entei snickered as Mustang held up his next card.
"Damn it…he's able to read my moves…" Mustang pouted playing the Pot of Avarice shuffling his five cards back into his deck and drawing two of his cards.
"No duh, I'm able to read your moves…" Entei laughed loudly slamming his fists together. "I was the freakin' Kaiser remember!?! I know almost every strategy that I've faced here! Your deck is no exception! The thing with your deck is it revolves on recycling those low level monsters in combination!
"An interesting strategy yes…but it's not going to cut it against me!" Entei shouted throwing his arm to the side. "I'm already a step ahead of you and have a powerful strategy lined up to counter your deck!"
"…True…I don't have a chance…" Mustang replied…yet he was smiling. "…that is if my deck is as you say it is!"
"What in the world are you talking about!?!" Entei asked with a raised eyebrow at Mustang's comment. It was then another card shot out of Mustang's deck. "What is that?"
"You said I didn't have tribute monsters in my deck…" Mustang replied slapping the card onto his duel disk. "It's unfortunate that I had to make this guy's big first entrance with you on these conditions…quite a shame actually…"
"What in the world are you blabbering on about?" Entei questioned when suddenly a powerful form slammed into the ground before Mustang. "What the?!?"
The new monster stood up from the ground, his large silver overcoat's tails flowing in an invisible wind. The new monster's hat covered his entire skin, as well as his black gloves, boots and pants seem to gleam in the light as the warrior gave a quick thumbs up (2500/2100). "Meet…Die Hard Captain! One of the newest additions to my deck!"
"What the hell!?! You can't summon a monster that strong with no sacrifice!" Entei protested narrowing his eyes at Mustang.
Mustang shook his head and the Die Hard Captain did as well. "Wrong…Captain's ability allows me to special summon him from my deck, only if I return two or more Die Hard monsters back to my deck!"
"And…" Entei growled expecting something more.
"And…that's it!" Mustang chuckled rubbing the back of his head.
A large blood vessel appeared on the back of Entei's head. "Ha! That monster can't possibly help you now! If you recall, my prince still has the lead in attack points!"
"We'll see…" Mustang stated closing his eyes as he lifted a card from his hand. "I activate the ability of my Die Hard Samurai! By placing at the bottom of my deck…I can increase the attack of one monster on my side of the field by thirteen hundred! And my Captain will do just fine!"
At that, the powerful Die Hard Captain clapped his hands together, creating a powerful metal clanking sound (2500/2100 + 1300/0).
But Mustang wasn't done yet. "Next! I'll activate Dynamic Fist's ability! All I have to do is return one Die hard monster from my graveyard to my deck…"
The Die Hard Slasher card slipped out of Mustang's graveyard and immediately he shuffled the card into his deck. At that, the Dynamic Fist's gauntlet began to grow at a powerful rate. "And now! Dynamic Fist gains the original attack points of the monster that was returned to my deck!"
"But that means…" Entei pieced it together nicely as he watched the stats of the tanned monster grow (1000/1000 + 2000/0).
"Dynamic Fist! Pummel the Gardna!" Mustang shouted as his Die Hard Dynamic Fist jumped into the air with his right gauntlet increasing by the passing second. With a quick slam, the warrior crushed the ghost underneath his large hand.
"Damn it…" Entei growled lifting his hand up to block the force of the attack. But then he noticed that his Prince's aura began to fall (3400/1000 – 400/0).
"And now Die Hard Captain! Attack that ghost!" Mustang shouted receiving a nod from his captain.
In a quick second, the Die Hard Captain was standing directly before the Ghost Empire Prince, surprising both the ghost and Entei. Before the Prince could even raise his sword, a rapid flurry of punches meet his body, sending him moving up into the air, before the Die Hard Captain unleashed a powerful punch to the ghost's chest, slamming it to the ground and sending it back to the graveyard where it originated. (ELP: 5200)
"And don't think I'm done yet!" Mustang shouted before his Die Hard Dynamic Fist jumped into the Mass Driver cannon behind him. "I've still got my Mass Driver! So now…Blast him down a peg!"
Nodding, the Die Hard Dynamic Fist was quickly shot out of the cannon and slammed directly into Entei, knocking the wind out of the former Kaiser momentarily. Entei held his side as he coughed up a small portion of blood. "D-damn you…" (ELP: 4800)
"And I'll wrap up my turn with three face down cards!" Mustang shouted as the cards appeared before him. That's when the Die Hard Captain's attack points returned to twenty-five hundred, back to normal. "Let's see what you've got!"
"It'll be a pleasure!" Entei shouted nearly ripping his next card from his duel disk, with a quick glance at the card, Entei raised an eyebrow. "…Prepare your self…I'm about to turn this duel around once more!"
"Huh?" Mustang questioned as a powerful black jewel appeared before Entei.
"I activate my spell card…Haunted Dark Jewel!" Entei laughed as a card popped out of his graveyard.
"And what does that do?" Mustang was almost afraid to ask.
"Glad ya asked…" Entei snickered pulling three cards from his deck. "After I remove one monster card from my graveyard, I can draw one card for every two levels on it. Then I'm forced to send the top card from my deck to the graveyard…"
Entei got a good look at the card he discarded, and couldn't help but smirk evilly. Mustang didn't like that look at all. "What are you grinning at?"
"Heh, the card I discarded was a card called Death Cycle," Entei snickered as two cards popped out of his deck. "And here's how it works. If it's discarded from my hand or deck, I'm forced to send two copies of a monster card in my graveyard…to the graveyard!"
"So?" Mustang questioned before noticing that the ghostly aura around him was starting to act up once again. "What the?"
"And the monsters that are sent to the graveyard are considered to be tributed…" Entei finished, as he watched Mustang clutch his throat in pain. (MLP: 2700)
"D-Damn it…" Mustang panted kneeling on one of his legs.
"And it gets worse Mustang…" Entei added lifting up a familiar spell card. "I activate the spell card…Deceased Throne Decent!"
"Aw crap…" Mustang moaned lowering his head as the large dark throne seat erupted from behind Entei, with three spirits floating around the throne.
"I think you know that this means…" Entei chuckled as he lifted up his three cards from his graveyard. "I remove my three Ghost Shield Gardnas…"
"Objection!" Mustang interrupted thrusting a finger towards Entei. "You need to remove three Ghost Knights…"
"True…but it's my monster's other effect," Entei replied as the throne began to surge with a powerful dark energy. "Is that they are treated as Ghost Knights! Oh and before I forget…this is counted as a tribute!"
"What in the!?!" Mustang questioned before he was strangled by the ghostly energy once more making him fall to the ground, clutching his throat in pain. (MLP: 1800)
"And now…rise from the grave…Ghost Empire Tyrant!" Entei roared when the three spirits formed together into a large shadow mist that slowly solidified into a mysterious phantom-like man wearing a royal armored black overcoat over his dark suit with a golden amulet around his neck. The skin that is showing his fanged mouth is underneath his black demonic mask with a pair of glowing red eyes. His hands held onto a large broad sword with a pair of demonic wings at the base of the blade (2900/1450 + 600/0). At the sight of his opponent Mustang, the powerful phantom lifted its sword towards the Die Hard duelist.
"Ah damn it…" Mustang spat out lowering his head.
"But wait! I'm not done!" Entei laughed lifting his next card. "I activate my spell card…Shrink! So now you're captain…has been cut down to size!"
Mustang's eyes widened as he watched his Die Hard Captain (1250/2100) fell to the ground holding his throat. With the strength he had, Mustang narrowed his eyes at Entei. "Y…y…y…"
With a crooked smile, Entei held his hand up to his ear. "I'm sorry…what did you say?"
"Y…you bastard!" Mustang choked out…along with some blood.
"Me…A bastard?" Entei asked innocently before breaking out into a hideous laugh. "Ha! You say that now…but do you know my story? If you did you'd be feeling sorry for me instead of calling me a bastard!"
"No…" Mustang replied slowly standing to his legs.
"Speak up…you piece of dirt…" Entei snickered looking down on Mustang.
"I don't care about your story! Your past! Or what your plan is!" Mustang roared getting the fire back into his soul. Mustang then placed his thumb to his chest and gave Entei a determined look that made him lose his usual carefree manner. "If you dwell on the past, then you have no future! When this duel is done, I will prove this to you!"
"…Hmm…you're right Mustang…" Entei replied crossing his arms. "No one seems to know your past…you've been hiding it from everyone, so you must have a grip on it…so you have no future!"
Lowering his head, Mustang's eyes were covered by the shadow of his hair. "I haven't hid anything…"
"What a load of bull! Ever since last year, you haven't talked at all about your past!" Entei laughed sticking his tongue out at the Die Hard Duelist. "So logically you'd have to be hiding it from everyone!'
"You want to know the reason…" Mustang sighed, tears starting to swell up in his eyes, although Entei couldn't tell from the distance, mist and the fact Mustang's eyes were covered. "…Before last year…I lost my memory…"
Entei was taken back from this. "W-what? But how's that possible? I've met your family! How could you not know your past?"
Mustang turned his head to the side and seemed to laugh a little. "Heh…Entei, the former Kaiser and the badass of the Majestic Four asking me about my forgotten past…heh, I must be pathetic for that to happen."
"Don't flatter yourself…" Entei scoffed to the side closing his eyes. "It's common for an executioner to allow the dead man one last wish… talking about your past will count as yours…"
"Hmm…and here I thought you were showing some compassion…" Mustang chuckled before wiping his eyes. "Very well…"
"I don't know all the details…but apparently my accident occurred during the summer I came to the academy…I was celebrating my birthday with my parents and childhood friend apparently…"
"I had wanted to go sky diving, so I did with my family and friend."
"When we were in the air, I was the first to jump…I imagine that I was scared out of my mind. Personally, I'm glad I forgot that part…"
"Soon I was accompanied by my friend and family in the sky…and then…"
"…it happened…"
Entei raised an eyebrow. "…'It'?"
"We were reaching the ground at a quick speed so we all pulled our chords. Everyone's parachute worked like a charm…except, mine was defective."
"I was about a good two stories when the parachute broke, sending me head first to the ground. My body wasn't too badly injured due to the fact that the landing site was near a marshland…"
"But I was given a head trauma, losing my memory."
"What I remembered next, was seeing was a pretty girl crying at my side while I was in a hospital bed with some bandages around my head."
"Hmm…I guess that explains a few things…" Entei stated before realizing that he still had a duel to win. "But now that your request is over with…I'm afraid that you'll have to say goodbye to this world!"
Mustang remained silent as the Ghost Empire Tyrant began to build up a powerful energy in its sword. "Ghost Empire Tyrant! Destroy his monster and end this duel!"
With a loud battle cry the powerful warrior sent the energy crashing into the mighty Die Hard Captain causing an extremely large explosion to cover Mustang's side of the field.
Entei lifted his fist up in victory as his Ghost Empire Tyrant landed in front of him once more. "Yeah! I won baby! I killed him! He's deader than dead! Mustang's left the building of life! The executioner has finished his job!"
Entei couldn't help but smirk as he watched the smoke dissipate, awaiting to see Mustang's dead body. And yet, Entei's smile began to turn into a pissed off barring of teeth. "What the hell is the meaning of this!?!"
"Sorry Entei…but I'm not dying yet…"
At the sight of the figure before Entei, his eyes widened. The only thing that was standing before him was the Die Hard Captain, with a duel disk on his arm. "What the? Where'd Mustang go!?!"
"I'm right here…"
The Die Hard Captain pulled down his cloak to reveal it was none other than Mustang with a more cocky look on his face. "I've still got my ideals!" (MLP: 3550)
"How in the world did you survive?" Entei questioned as Mustang held up two cards.
"Simple…my trap cards," Mustang replied sliding the two cards into his graveyard. "The first was my Dynamic Shield…which prevents my Die Hard Captain from being destroyed…the second was my Nutrient Z, which increased my life points by four thousand points before your damage occurred, giving me almost double the life points I had."
"I have to admit Mustang…" Entei whistled scratching the back of his head. "You got some potential here with your strategy…too bad you have to face me…"
"Nice try Entei…" Mustang smirked pulling the cloak back up over his face. "But you fail to realize something…"
"And what's that?" Entei asked wondering what the hell Mustang was getting at.
"Three actually…" Mustang added lifting his hand up as well as three fingers. "The first one is you were not able to predict my defeat this turn!"
"So?" Entei questioned raising an eyebrow.
"Shouldn't an executioner be able to know when he's about to kill?" Mustang pointed out making Entei's eyes widen.
"Well…you see the thing about that is…" Entei stated as Mustang drew his next card.
"Second!" Mustang shouted looking at his next card. "You failed to notice a key factor on the field!"
"And what would that be?" Entei asked looking at the other card on Mustang's field. "Oh yeah…that face down…what about it?"
"You'll see…" Mustang replied lifting his next card up. "However, you missed the most important part!"
"Okay…I give what is it?" Entei chuckled not realizing the obvious.
"Simple…my new look!" Mustang answered showing his next card to be Graceful Charity.
"What in the…How'd you pull that off?" Entei asked with a raised eyebrow.
"It's the shadow realm…" Mustang replied drawing his three cards and discarding two of them into the graveyard. "…Anything makes sense here…"
"Hmm, good point…" Entei stated rubbing his chin.
"Now then watch this! I play my next spell card…" Mustang announced sliding the card into his duel disk. The card appeared behind him showing the Die Hard Captain putting the Die Hard Lancer in a back breaker. "Die Hard Training! When this card is played…I need to send one Die Hard monster back to my deck from my hand. And choose my second Die Hard Dynamic Fist!"
"What's the point of that?" Entei questioned as Mustang shuffled his deck once more.
"Simple, the equipped monster gains the returned monster's effect!" Mustang replied as a card from his graveyard popped out from his deck. "And I hope you remember what the Dynamic Fist can do…"
"It returns one monster from your graveyard to increase it's attack for a turn…" Entei remembered with a smirk. "Too bad all you got is the other Dynamic Fist in there…"
"Wrong!" Mustang shouted lifting his card he got back from his graveyard. It was a different monster card. "I discarded this from my hand with Graceful Charity…"
Entei's eyes widened at the sight of the monster. "N-no…not the Die Hard Lancer!"
"That's right!" Mustang announced sliding the card into his deck. "So the Die Hard Captain…or should I say, I gain the original attack points of the Die Hard Lancer! (2500/2100 + 1800/0)"
Mustang began to perform multiple poses as a powerful red aura surrounded his body, increasing his strength. This made Entei sweat a little. "W-well…still not enough to beat me!"
"That's when you're wrong!" Mustang shouted gesturing towards his face down card that was slowly flipping up. The trap card revealed a picture of a strangely familiar ninja performing multiple hand signs with smoke behind him with multiple darkened forms behind him. Instantly, Mustang began performing a similar gesture with his hands. "It's called Die Hard Action – Replay!"
"So what!?!" Entei roared when all of sudden, something made him step back in surprise. His jaw dropped to the ground at the sight. "W…w…w…what in the blazes of hell!?!?"
There were five Mustangs standing in front of Entei, each of them dressed as the Die Hard Captain (4300/2100 x5), and each of them cracking their knuckles. Then in perfect timing, all five Mustangs spoke in sync. "This is the end for you! Prepare for a defeat that has been coming your way for a long time!"
One of the Mustangs jumped towards the powerful Ghost Empire Tyrant, slamming his foot directly in the monster's face. Destroying the mask, the monster cried out in a ghostly shriek before shattering into pixels… (ELP: 4000)
…And defenseless…
That's when the other four Mustangs ran around the confused Entei, each of them ready to deliver an attack. "N…n…now hold on a second! Aren't you supposed to be a good guy who wouldn't hurt a person!?!"
"Sorry…" the four Mustangs replied before jumping towards Entei. "But you have me…"
All four of the Mustangs delivered a powerful flurry of punches that completely hit almost every part of Entei's body, making the duelist roar out in pain every moment the fist struck his body. As soon as Entei was unconscious from the many attacks, the four Mustangs stepped back and turned their backs towards Entei. "…Confused with a hero…" (ELP: 0)
Four of the Mustangs disappeared, leaving the original in his regular clothes turned away from Entei. Looking over his shoulder, Mustang sighed at the sight of the KO'd Entei. "Entei…you were a good opponent…however, you hurt so many people, and that can't be forgiven…not my standards. So your punishment shall be to remain in that state, dreaming each and every duel you had that involved the pure intention of hurting someone. You will wake up when you reach our duel, but will remember the punishment I inflicted on you…"
Mustang lowered his head as he lifted the Die Hard Captain card from his duel disk. A smile sprouted on his face at the sight of it. "…Slowly, but surely, I'm remembering…"
"…All thanks to this card you gave me…"
"…Thank you my friend…"
"…Luntina…"
