AEON UTOPA'S DAY OFF, PART 1
[Aeon Perspective]
"Where's my Wallet?!"
"I don't fucking know you idiot!" Caius yells at me as I question him. "Check your jacket"
I do so quickly and it's there. I quickly gather my stuff and head out, getting on my runner and glancing at the door again, Caius probably shouldn't be left alone so soon but I've got my own stuff to do, and he's the second best duelist in this world, yknow, besides me.
I ride down into the city and park up outside a cafe, glancing at it I see a certain former king sat drinking a cup of Blue-Eyes coffee.
"Hello Jack" I say to him, sitting down across from him.
"Hello runt" He replies, apparently he's still a little salty about the fortune cup. "What do you want?"
"Well I was thinking about getting a cup of coffee and having a chat with my favourite former champion" I retort, making the sarcasm as obvious as i can.
"Ya know that sounds like a challenge to me Utopa"
"Bring it Atlas"
"Turbo?"
"Of course"
We both get on our runners and head over to the stadium, pulling up at the start line, a few people who saw us enter sitting in the stands to watch. But they're of no consequence.
"Ready Jackaboy?"
"I was born ready. Let's kick it into overdrive"
We both nod, get ready, and smirk as we activate speed world. "Let's ride!"
TURBO DUEL START: Aeon vs Jack
We accelerate and I fall back, my deck has always operated better on the second turn.
"My turn Aeon! Draw!" He gives his hand a glance and smirks. "I begin by setting a monster in defence along with a face-down! Your move Aeon!"
TURN CHANGE: AEON
Sp-Counters: (J=1) (A=1)
"Draw! Let's start basic, go! Speed-Spell - Update! This treats all spells as speed spells for this duel!"
That leaves me with 5 cards. They're all I'll need. Unless he gets lucky.
"I play this! Power Bond! I fuse together the two Cyber Dragons in my hand! One Core, One Zwei, I fusion summon Chimeratech Rampage Dragon with double its ATK points!"
Chimeratech Rampage Dragon: Lv 5, DARK, ATK 4200 (2100)
"Now when it's summoned I can lay waste to that face dow-"
"I activate my trap! Chthonian Polymer! I tribute my face down monster to take control of your Chimeratech Rampage Dragon!"
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Shit. Fuck.
"I end my turn!"
TURN CHANGE: JACK
Sp-Counters: (J=2) (A=2)
"Draw! And now I summon Dark Resonator!"
Dark Resonator: Lv 3, DARK, ATK 1300
"I tune it to this Chimeratech Rampage Dragon! Synchro summon level 8! I call forth my soul! Red Dragon Archfiend!"
Red Dragon Archfiend: Lv 8, DARK, ATK 3000
"Red Dragon! Attack with absolute power force!"
AEON LP: -3000 = 5000
"Gah.." This isn't good.
"With that I end my turn!"
TURN CHANGE: AEON
Sp-Counters: (J=3) (A=3)
"Dra-" Everything stops as soon as I touch the card. My mark starts glowing unnaturally bright, and I feel something pulling me into darkness.
I wake on the roof of some kind of factor and look around, it's a city of sorts, an almost angelic skyline...
"Hello my lord" A voice says behind me, I turn and see Infernal Void Dragon leaning on the building.
"Uh..."
"Yes you are awake. Welcome to your soul. It seems someone is a little jealous of my sister's master"
He must mean Beelze...
"I want a better deck"
The dragon laughs at my response, and nods.
"You want to be some kind of hero? Or make right certain wrongs of your past? Or perhaps you just want to beat Caius"
"A mix of all..."
"Get ready. Shit is about to get serious Aeon, don't you dare hold back against Jack"
There's a flash and I'm back on my runner, my mark and my cards glowing, I draw my card and the light shatters. My cards have changed almost completely.
"Use them my lord, do not hesitate" I hear Void Dragon saying.
"Let's go! I activate this! Fallen HERO Fusion!"
"Another fusion monster, Aeon?"
"I fuse together Fallen HERO Dusk and Fallen HERO Dawn from my hand! I fusion summon Rising HERO Sunrise!"
Rising HERO Sunrise: Lv 7, DARK, ATK 2500
"When Dawn is sent to the grave, I can summon back any Fallen Hero with 1700 or less attack, funny enough that includes Dawn herself! And when she's summoned I can draw a card!"
Fallen HERO Dawn: Lv 4, DARK, ATK 1700
"Next I use Sunrise's ability! I pay 500 LP to add a Fallen HERO card from my grave to my hand, so I add back my fusion!"
AEON LP: -500 = 4500
"Why fusion once when I can fusion twice?! I activate Fallen HERO Fusion again! And since I'm summoning another Rising HERO I can banish material from my grave along with sending to the grave from my field! I fuse Dusk, Dawn and Sunrise together! Welcome to the field Rising HERO Skystrike!"
Rising HERO Skystrike: Lv 10, DARK, ATK 0
"That thing is as weak as you are Aeon!"
Rising HERO Skystrike ATK +200*21 = 4200
"Wait what?..."
"Skystrike gains 200 ATK for the combined levels of all "HERO" monsters that are on my field or in my grave! Skystrike! Attack Red Dragon Archfiend!"
JACK LP: -1200 = 6800
"Don't get too cocky Aeon! I still have more life points!"
"And I have a card to spare! So i set it and end my turn!"
TURN CHANGE: JACK
Sp-Counters: (J=4) (A=4)
"I draw! I play a monster in face down defence, set a pair of cards and end my turn!"
"That's it?"
"Shut your trap!"
TURN CHANGE: AEON
Sp-Counters: (J=5) (A=5)
"Draw! I summon another Dawn! Who lets me draw a card!"
Rising HERO Skystrike ATK +200*4 = 5000
Fallen HERO Dawn: Lv 4, DARK, ATK 1700
"I then activate the card I drew! Monster Reborn! I call back my other Dawn!"
Fallen HERO Dawn: Lv 4, DARK, ATK 1700
"Now using these two monsters... I build the overlay network! I will not be shown up by Caius anymore! Go! XYZ Summon! Rise Number 39! UTOPIA!"
Number 39: Utopia: Rank 4, LIGHT, ATK 2500, ORU 2
"What.. The.. Fuck.. Is.. That.." Jack speaks slowly as if I'm not going to understand.
Rising HERO Skystrike ATK -200*8 = 3400
"Your end Jack, go Chaos XYZ Evolution! I rebuild the overlay network with Utopia to summon... Chaos Number 39! Utopia Ray!"
Number C39: Utopia Ray: Rank 4, DARK, ATK 2500, ORU 3
"You don't seem done" Jack says. I smirk in response.
"I use Utopia Ray to rebuild the overlay network! Go! Shining XYZ Evolution! Come forth Shining Number 39! Utopia the Lightning!"
Number S39: Utopia the Lightning: Rank 5, LIGHT, ATK 2500, ORU 4
"So you've summoned a few monsters. It means nothing! I play my face-down! Descending lost star! I summon back Red Dragon with its DEF bottomed out!"
Red Dragon Archfiend: Lv 7 (8), DARK, DEF 0 (2000)
"Now attack his face-down Utopia!" It gets fucked. "And bid farewell to Red Dragon Archfiend again! Go Skystrike!"
Jack does that weird riding backward thing as he reveals his trap. "Red Cocoon will stop your monster's effects when it battles Red Dragon, meaning your ATK bottoms out during battle and nothing happens!"
Rising HERO Skystrike ATK - 0 - 3400
"Then that's my turn Jack!"
TURN CHANGE: JACK
Sp-Counters: (J=6) (A=6)
"Draw! I summon out my Top Runner!"
Top Runner: Lv 4, WIND, ATK 1100
"Then I switch Red Dragon to attack mode! It gains 600 ATK from Top Runner's ability!"
Red Dragon Archfiend ATK +600 = 3600
"Now let's give that Skystrike a fond farewell!"
Rising Hero Skystrike ATK - 0
AEON LP: -3600 = 900
"That's my turn Aeon! Show me if you're even capable of winning now!"
TURN CHANGE: AEON
Sp-Counters: (J=7) (A=7)
"Draw.. Ah.. Thankfully this is useful to me! I activate the spell Legacy of a HERO! By returning the Skystrike and Sunrise you already destroyed from my grave to my extra deck, I draw 3 cards!"
Excellent. A third Dawn, Fusion Substitute, and Fallen HERO Daybreak, level 2. I can win if i draw what i need...
"I summon Fallen HERO Dawn! And her ability lets me Draw!"
Fallen HERO Dawn: Lv 4, DARK, ATK 1700
Cmon... Yes! Twilight! Level 7!
"I activate Fusion Substitute! To fuse Twilight with Daybreak! I fusion summon Rising HERO Sunrise!"
Rising HERO Sunrise: Lv 7, DARK, ATK 2500
"I use its ability, I pay 500 LP to get back my fusion spell!"
AEON LP: -500 = 400
"Then i attack your dragon with Sunrise! And play my trap! Fallen HERO Resolve! My Hero monsters gain ATK equal to their level multiplied by 200!"
Rising HERO Sunrise ATK +200*7 = 3900
Fallen HERO Dawn ATK +200*4 = 2500
JACK LP: -300 = 6500
"Now Utopia! Attack Top Runner and use your ability! Remove 2 overlay units to raise your power to 5000!"
Number S39: Utopia the Lightning ORU -2 = 2
Number S39: Utopia the Lightning ATK - 5000
JACK LP: -3900 = 2600
"Now Attack my Fallen Hero Dawn!"
JACK LP: -2500 = 100
"Gah.. So long as I have life points I can wi-!"
"I play Fallen HERO Fusion! Newsflash! It's a Quick-Play Spell! I fuse Daybreak and one of the Dawns in my grave with Sunrise! Come back Skystrike!"
Rising HERO Skystrike: Lv 10, DARK, ATK 0
Rising HERO Skystrike ATK +200*31 = 6200
"That's... No! That's too strong!" He yells, stammering.
"For you maybe, but you're not Caius! Go Skystrike! Celestial Smackdown!"
JACK LP: -6200 = 0
AEON WINS
I pull up smirking, that was good... And someone walks over from the stands holding a camera. Knowing Caius he's probably gonna say we shouldn't let pictures of our cards float around online...
"Sorry, you're Aeon right?" The guy says, Red hair, his eyes hidden behind red sunglasses, pale kinda skin.
"Yes. Were you taking pictures?"
He nods and smiles, holding up the camera. "Yep, wanna see? Carly's gonna flip when she sees these. My name is Blaze by the way, I'm a huge fan of your-"
"Please delete them"
"What?..."
"My new cards are not something I want as widely known knowledge, until necessary"
He sighs and nods, seeming to understand, then smirks. "Then let's cut a deal, I'll delete the photos, you buy me a drink"
"Sure, what's so bad about that?"
"Oh, nothing. There's nothing wrong with a date"
Yep, nothing wrong with a...
Wait. What.
