Battle City Chapter Five

I don't own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh

Chapter Fifty Three: Daisuke versus the Rare Hunter

"It is a sad day when an old man must do his grandsons chores," Solomon said as he swept the floor in front of the shop and he stretched before he looked up at the window of Yugi's room. "Sorry grandpa but I must prepare for the tournament," He said imitating Yugi. "I like a duel as much as the next day but in my day our jobs came first, hogwash Kaiba's new tournament starts today and I am not going to miss it for the world, wahoo! I'll close up the shop early like right now," He said as he ran back into the shop and put a closed sign on the door of the shop. Meanwhile Yami was in Yugi's room getting ready.

"You've assembled a powerful deck," He said to Yugi who appeared beside him.

"What if it's not good enough?" Yugi asked him.

"Sometimes Yugi there is nothing left to do but to believe in your deck that you've created," Yami replied. "Yugi, this tournament is unlike any challenge that we have ever faced, the fate of the world depends on us, so trust in your cards," Yami said to Yugi who nodded his head back at him and Yami smiled at his friend. Meanwhile across town with Daisuke she was in her bedroom getting ready for the tournament as well she was wearing the same clothes that she wore on her date with Yugi but instead of a skirt she wore tight fitting jeans.

"Are you ready for this?" Hitomi asked her mentally.

"As ready as I will ever be, I just hope my deck is good enough," Daisuke said to her.

"Don't worry Dai, I am sure you will be fine after all you have never been let down by this deck," Hitomi said placing her hand over Daisuke's and she smiled at her.

"Right, besides we have to win this tournament to save the world, I mean you already did it with Yami 5000 years ago but you two were on your own, this time you have me and Yugi to help you," Daisuke said to her and Hitomi smiled at her. "Veemon ready?" She asked her partner looking down at him who was now wearing a hooded jacket to disguise himself.

"You bet," He said with a smile.

"Thank you, both of you," Hitomi said to them both.

"Let's duel!" Both she and Daisuke shouted as Daisuke placed her deck in her pocket and she grabbed her trench coat and put it on and she smiled. She and Veemon then walked out of her apartment where they almost immediately bumped into someone. "Watch it you… Ken!?" Daisuke asked in shock as she saw she nearly bumped into her DNA Digivolving partner.

"Dai hey there," He greeted.

"What are you doing here?" She asked him with a smile.

"Well I came to see how you were settling into this new city is all," Ken said to her.

"We're doing great, how's Wormmon?" Veemon asked Ken.

"He's alright, where are you too going and what is with that thing?" Ken asked pointing at the Duel disk on Daisuke's left arm.

"It's for a tournament I am in, want to come and watch me kick butt?" Daisuke asked him.

"Sure why not," Ken said as the three headed off as Daisuke on the way looked at a clear card that she had.

"This clear card was with the invite, looks like a map, but where is the rest of it?" She wondered mentally. "Another twist by Kaiba no wonder," She thought as they arrived at the place where the tournament would begin.

"Hey Dai over here," Yugi called to her and Daisuke smiled at him and Ken raised an eyebrow as Yugi walked up to them. "Who's this?" Yugi asked pointing at Ken.

"Oh Ken meet Yugi, Yugi meet Ken my friend," Daisuke introduced the two of them.

"Nice to meet you," Ken said to Yugi.

"Likewise, Daisuke talks about you a lot," Yugi said to Ken who nodded.

"Hey Yugi, Dai," A voice called over to them.

"Hey there Mai," Yugi said to her.

"A pretty big turnout for this huh? All losers," Mai said.

"Well there is a lot of duellists we haven't seen before," Daisuke said.

"Oh this is so exciting who should I beat first?" Mai asked cheerfully.

"Yugi I thought I heard you buzzing around here," A voice called to him and everyone looked to see Rex Raptor, Miyako Sohma and Weevil walk up to them.

"If it isn't Rex Raptor, Miyako and Weevil, I thought I smelt something," Mai said.

"I'll never forget how you played me at the duellist kingdom Mai, now it is payback time," Rex said to Mai.

"And Yugi next time we duel you won't be so lucky, because this time my deck is infested with swarms of rare and powerful insects!" Weevil shouted with an evil laugh.

"And I have a score to settle with you Daisuke, after you humiliated me," Miyako said to Daisuke who sighed.

"What you want another butt whooping?" She asked Miyako as the two of them glared at each other.

"I take it those two don't like each other?" Ken asked Yugi.

"You could say that," He replied.

"Hello there," A voice called and everyone turned to see Mako Tsunami walk up to them.

"Mako Tsunami," Daisuke said with a smile.

"If anyone shall make any waves it will be me," Mako said.

"You'll think you'll win this tournament?!" Weevil shouted at him.

"Of course, there is nothing that can withstand my mighty denizens of the deep," Mako replied.

"Your sardines will be crushed by my Dino hoard," Rex said.

"My deck of love will crush anything your reptiles can throw at me," Miyako said to him and Daisuke, Mai, Yugi, Ken and Veemon sweatdropped as the four of their old rivals continued to argue on who would win the tournament.

"Some people never change," Mai said.

"Tell me about it," Daisuke said.

"Well I better split, and remember Daisuke and Yugi next time when we meet we are rivals," Mai said to them.

"Right," They both said as Mai walked off. "We better fine Joey and fast," Daisuke said and Yugi nodded his head as they all ran off in search of Joey and they searched high and low for him. "No sign of him and Kaiba is going to start this thing any second," Daisuke said.

"Greetings duellists," A voice said and everyone in the city looked around for the source of the voice.

"Kaiba!?" Yugi asked.

"Where is he?" Ken asked.

"Up there!" Veemon shouted pointing to the sky and everyone looked up and gasped when they saw a giant blimp with a TV screen fly over them.

"I hope you didn't enter this tournament expecting friendly competition, Battle City is going to be an all-out war, before my Battle City tournament begins, I thought I would let you know what you are in for, in case you want to back out now," Kaiba said. "Let's begin with my new duel disk, everyone who I decided was worthy received one and with it you can duel anytime and anywhere there is also a tracking chip so I can watch you every move, next the most important rule the loser of each duel is required to hand over their rarest card to the victor, if you don't have the guts to risk your cards I suggest you quit now while you can, you can also face me because I too will be competing, but don't think you will win against me, there is one person I wish to face again," Kaiba said.

"Bring it on Kaiba," Daisuke called to him.

"And speaking of winning only the eight best will make it to the final round, which is held in a hidden location, when you got your duel disk you received a locator card, but you will need six of them to find the location, you will get a locator card with every victory when stacked together they activate a GPS signal that will be transmitted to you, but the finals are a long way away and most of you will be eliminated by then, everything I just said can be found in my tournament rule book and there will only be one winner and that person will become the best duellist in the world, now let the tournament begin," Kaiba announced.

"Well time to do this," Yugi said.

"There you are you creep!" Joey shouted and Daisuke and Yugi gasped as they looked over at him walking past them.

"Joey!" Daisuke shouted running up to him and Yugi, Ken and Veemon followed after her. "What are you yelling about!?" Daisuke shouted at him as she saw the man Joey was shouting at.

"That is the guy who stole my Red Eyes, and this guy owes me a rematch for my Red Eyes Black Dragon!" Joey shouted.

"I told you before you have nothing left of value to me, but I think it would be my pleasure to duel the winner of the Duellist Kingdom tournament and snare her Dark Magician Girl, Daisuke Motomyia I challenge you to a duel!" The Rare Hunter said to Daisuke.

"Listen bud, this is between me and you," Joey said.

"Joey wait," Daisuke said to him.

"But Dai," He replied.

"It is the only way to get back your Red Eyes," Daisuke said as her bracelet now on her right arm glowed brightly. "HITOMI" She shouted as she transformed, "So do we have a deal Rare Hunter, as my first Battle City opponent if you lose you must return Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon, and if you win I will hand over my Dark Magician Girl to you," Daisuke said to the Rare Hunter who smirked.

"Dai, no I can't ask this of you, I can't let you risk your Dark Magician Girl," Joey said to her. "I can take him," He told her.

"Joey thank you but I will do this, I'll have to put my Dark Magician Girl on the line eventually," Daisuke smiled at Joey who groaned.

"Let's get on with this hunt, the sooner I can claim my prize the better," The Rare Hunter said.

"Dai wait," Joey said.

"Not so fast, if you reveal my strategy of how I beat you Joey Wheeler I will tear your Red Eyes black Dragon card to shreds," The Rare Hunter said.

"That is low even for a sneak like you," Daisuke growled at the Rare Hunter before she smirked. "Fine I will duel you without help one on one," She said as she placed her deck into her duelling disk and it shot out two holo-projectors and the disk activated and the Rare Hunter did the same.

"Duel!" The both shouted as their lifepoints climbed to 4000.

"I will go first," Daisuke said.

"Dai be careful," Joey warned her.

"Joey I got this trust me," She replied. "To start off I play one card face down, and then I summon Raidramon in attack mode," Daisuke said as one face down card appeared and Raidramon appeared on the field as well and Ken and Veemon yelped in shock.

"What the?" Ken asked in shock.

"Can you handle my monster?" Daisuke asked the Rare Hunter.

"My first card will be," The Rare Hunter said as he drew his next card, "As I expected, Graceful Charity, this card lets me draw three cards in exchange for discarding two cards," the Rare Hunter said. "Perfect the third piece of Exodia, just two more than I will obliterate Daisuke and take her Dark Magician Girl," The Rare hunter thought to himself. "If you only knew what was in my hand waiting you'd forfeit now, and surrender your Dark Magician Girl," He told Daisuke.

"Never, I may not know what is in your hand right now, but I can tell that you won't win," Daisuke said to him.

"We will see, Stone Statue of the Aztecs in defence mode," the Rare Hunter said as a massive stone statue appeared.

"All this guy has done is draw cards and play defence, he must be waiting for something but what?" Daisuke thought to herself. "My go now time to turn your statue to rubble, by the Battle City Rules I tribute Raidramon to summon to the field V-Pyro in attack mode," Daisuke said as Raidramon vanished and V-Pyro took his place. "And then I play the spell card Blazing Inferno to raise her attack by 800 giving her a total of 3000," Daisuke said as her face down card flipped up and V-Pyro's attack points climbed up to 3000. "Now V-Pyro attack his statue with Blazing Fireball Strike!" Daisuke shouted as V-Pyro created a basketball sized fireball and she threw it towards the Rare Hunter's statue and destroyed it and it turned to rubble. "How do you like that?" Daisuke smirked at the Rare Hunter.

"Dai! Listen to me, this guy has!" Joey tried to warn her.

"Joey, will you just trust me!? You are my friend and I am fighting this duel for you, you would do the same for me, remember on the boat how I jumped in the water to save Yugi's Exodia cards? I did it not because they were rare cards but because I saw someone in need, and you pulled me out of the water when you didn't need to," Daisuke said back at him and Joey nodded his head at her. "To end my turn I place a card face down," She said placing a card face down on the field.

"I predict another Graceful Charity," The Rare Hunter said as he drew a card and he smirked. "I was right, I draw three cards and discard two more cards," The Rare Hunter drew three cards then he discarded two and he smirked. "Excellent, another piece of Exodia, soon I will annihilate Daisuke for good," The Rare Hunter said, "I then place a monster face down and end my turn.

"For my next move, I play the Magic Card known as Card Destruction!" Daisuke announced and the Rare Hunter gasped.

"No my Exodia!" He thought in shock.

"That's right pal, and with this magic card we both discard our hands and draw five new cards," Daisuke said discarding her hand and the Rare Hunter did so as well reluctantly and they both drew five cards each. "Now then I summon V-Girl to the field," Daisuke said as V-Girl appeared, "Next I play Polymerisation to fuse both V-Girl and Lady Ex-Veemon who is in my hand to create the Dragon Tamer!" Daisuke announced as Lady Ex-Veemon appeared by V-Girl's side and they swirled around one another and they fused to create the Dragon Tamer who stood beside V-Pyro, "Next seeing as fusion monsters cannot attack the turn they are summoned I will attack your face down monster with V-Pyro!" Daisuke said and V-Pyro attacked the Rare Hunter's face down monster and destroyed it. "I will also place one card face down to end my turn, it is your move Rare Hunter and from your expression you just lost a few pieces of Exodia, yes I know that you had intended to summon the unstoppable Exodia but how can you now hope to summon him when half of him is in the graveyard?" Daisuke asked the Rare Hunter with a smirk on her face.

"Just you wait Daisuke Motomyia, I will defeat you," The Rare Hunter said to Daisuke.

What will happen next between Daisuke and the Rare Hunter fine out next time
