Dungeon Dice Monsters: A New Creation
I don't own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh
"Wow so this is where you guys live now Dai?" Chibomon asked looking around his partner's apartment after they along with the Kaiba brothers and White Veemon had returned from the Digital World.
"Yeah, do you like it?" Daisuke asked with a smile as she showed the Digimon around holding him close to her chest, he looked up at her and nodded making her smile brighten. "That's good. I can't wait to let Joey know you're back, he missed you as much as I did."
"I missed him too, he was so funny." Chibomon replied with a giggle. Kaiba and Mokuba shared a look as White Veemon smiled at the happy partners.
"Well we should all head off then." He said before Daisuke's phone began to ring and she answered it.
"Hello? Oh, Mr Muto what can I do for you?' she asked listening to the old man and her expression changed and she frowned. "Wait, what do you mean that Joey and Yugi went off to check out the new game store and haven't come back yet?" She asked as Solomon continued talking to her and she nodded. "I understand, don't worry I'll go and find them Mr Muto." She said before hanging up and pocketing her phone.
"Bad news?" Kaiba asked her.
"You could say that. We're going to that new game shop that's in town, it seems my brother and Yugi went there and lost track of time or something." She answered before she looked at Chibomon. "Would you be ok if I left you with White Veemon for a while buddy?"
"Of course, as long as White Veemon and I get to talk it's been so long since I've talked to another Digimon." He chirped.
"Are you ok with that White Veemon?" Mokuba asked the white skinned dragon who tapped his chin and he smiled.
"Of course, it would be nice to get to know Daisuke's partner that I've heard about." He answered with a nod.
"Good." Daisuke said as she set Chibomon down on the sofa. "Food's in the fridge, but don't be pigs." She told them both. "I know how much Digimon can eat." She reminded them with a giggle and the two Digimon shared a grin.
"Come on let's go, we don't want to take too long in dragging your brother out of a game shop." Kaiba said with a grunt and the three humans left the apartment in the hands of the Digimon and soon were walking through the oddly large crowd standing outside the store.
"I wonder what's got everyone so excited." Mokuba wondered pushing his way past some people to keep up with his brother and Daisuke.
"Probably a video advertising a new game or something." His brother grunted as he pushed past someone with a frown, looking around he saw the store's window lined with television screens, his eyes then widened when he saw a familiar face on the screen. He grabbed Daisuke's arm and pointed to the screens and she looked and blinked.
"What's Yugi doing?" She asked as a person standing beside her looked at her.
"Duke Devlin challenged Yugi Muto to a game of Dungeon Dice Monsters, if Yugi loses he has to give up his title of King of Games and has to give up dueling forever." They told her and Kaiba.
"No way Yugi would accept a challenge like that for no reason." Daisuke said with a frown before her eyes widened as she caught sight of Joey on the screen surrounded by three cheerleaders wearing a dog costume and she grit her teeth and clenched her fists tightly. "Oh, whoever this Duke Devlin guy is, he's going to regret putting my brother in that costume." She promised before she stormed off into the store followed by Kaiba and Mokuba who quickly found the elevator taking them to the floor Yugi and Duke's match was taking place.
Meanwhile in the arena where the match was taking place the three cheerleaders all giggled as Joey whined with a pout and crossed his arms. "Come on doggy, cheer for Dukey-poo." One of the three cheerleaders ordered pinching his cheek roughly.
"Gah stop pinching me ya dumb broad, I already have to wear this dumb outfit no way am I cheering for that egotistical nitwit!" he snapped, the three cheerleaders frowned and surrounded the boy.
"Sounds like the doggy needs a good lesson in how to respect his owners!" one of them shouted with a smirk before the elevator door opened with an audible ding making everyone look and Yugi, Tristan and Tea saw Daisuke walk out with the Kaiba brothers following her,
"Big sis!" Joey shouted in relief making his sister look over at him and she walked around the arena to her brother ignoring everyone as the three cheerleaders turned to look at her and she crossed her arms.
"You three have five seconds to leave my brother alone, or else." She warned them.
"Or else what, you're going to take our doggy away?" one of the cheerleaders asked with a smirk only to gulp and step back as Daisuke stepped forward with a sickly-sweet smile.
"First of all, that is my little brother Joey not your doggy. Second if you three don't back away right now, I'll make you wish you'd never got out of bed this morning." She said calmly as the cheerleaders jumped back and cowered next to the person who was waiting impatiently on the stand which had three glowing hearts on the front of it.
"Yeah you'd better run." Joey said only for Daisuke to turn to him and he went silent with a squeak. "Uh…hey big sis, I can explain."
"Oh, please do, I'd love to know why you're dressed up like this and why Yugi is risking never dueling again against that punk." Daisuke said pointing at the teen who smirked at her.
"Don't call Duke a punk!" one of the cheerleaders shouted earning a glare from Daisuke making her gulp and try to make herself invisible by hiding behind the other two girls.
"Your little brother challenged me to a duel, he thought that if he could beat me that I'd close down my game shop. Of course, he failed to realize just how good I was at dueling so he lost and is now my pet for the week, unless Yugi can defeat me in Dungeon Dice Monsters, a game of my own design." Duke explained.
"And from the looks of things, Yugi isn't faring too well." Mokuba said looking down at the field to see Duke's side of the field was covered in red squares in a expanding outwards from his stand leading towards Yugi's stand while Yugi's side of the field had blue squares on either side of the red squares with only one monster so far while Duke had two monsters right in front of Yugi along with two other monsters further down the line of squares.
"It's to be expected when facing off against the creator of a game, they tend to know all the tricks in the book." Kaiba said crossing his arms as he glanced over at Yugi who was busy checking the small computer beside him.
"So, you guys want to fill us in on what's going on?" Daisuke asked walking over to Tea and Tristan dragging her brother along with her.
"Well Duke designed Dungeon Dice Monsters and was trying to get it off the ground with the help of Pegasus who called him to his island to play a prototype of the game, then they agreed to further discuss it after Duellist Kingdom but of course you know what happened." Tristan said.
"So, Duke is mad at Yugi for beating Uncle Max?" Daisuke asked and received a nod from Tristan making her sigh. "So, in short this is all about revenge and a grudge?"
"Pretty much." Tea answered with a worried expression watching as Yugi rolled his next three dice across his board.
"It seems I've rolled two magic crests Duke, and since they both have a times two multiplier that means I now have four of them." He said and Duke chuckled.
"I'm impressed you managed to learn how to use your help screen to learn about your monster's special ability."
"That's right, now I'll use three of the Magic Crests I rolled to activate Thunderball's special attack. Go Rolling Crush!" Yugi shouted and his monster retracted its limbs and head into its body before rolling off at great speed towards the most immediate threat to Yugi. "Your Blast Lizard is about to be rolled over." And sure enough the green lizard holding two bombs in its hands was crushed by Thunderball. "But my attack doesn't end there Duke, I'll use three more Magic Crests I saved up in my crest pool to allow Thunderball to strike again, destroy Gator-Dragon!" he shouted and his monster continued rolling forward crushing the second monster.
"Way to pick up the spare Yug!" Joey cheered holding up a sign of Duke's face with a big cross over it. "Great job!"
"Alright Duke, now we have a game." Yugi said with a small grin as Duke moved some hair out of his face with a frown.
"Not bad, you managed to come up with a pretty impressive move, but forget about having a hope of winning, you'll never know Dungeon Dice Monsters as much as I do. After all, I'm the guy who invented the game." He told Yugi.
"That's true, just like how your idol Pegasus invented the Duel Monsters card game, but inventing the game doesn't mean you can't be beaten at it Devlin but perhaps my beating Pegasus was the exception to the rule, perhaps you are better." Yugi replied.
"You only beat Pegasus by cheating, don't try and trick me." Duke retorted with a growl as he grabbed his next three dice and threw them across his board, and he smirked at the results which were two movement crests and a single attack crest all three having a times two multiplier. "Not bad, I'll store those in my crest pool for later."
"Now it's my turn," Yugi said throwing his dice across his board and he smiled. "Yes a movement crest and two summon crests. Dimension the Dice!" he grabbed one of the two die and he pushed it down into his board and the square glowed before the dice rose up out of the ground on the field and began to unfold with an orb of light shifting into a monster. "I summon the Knight of Twin Swords!" Yugi shouted as the knight stood up with both swords gleaming in the light.
"For all the good it will do you, none of my other monsters are anywhere near him." Duke said with a smirk.
"That's why I'm saving my other crests for later." Yugi replied checking his crest pool.
"Well, you've learned how to conserve your crests. Very impressive." Duke said.
"Crests this, crests that, I'm totally lost." Joey mumbled rubbing his head.
"I'm with ya there little bro, this guy must have spent a lot of time working on this game." Daisuke replied as she saw Yugi going back to the help computer.
"There he goes again, scouring that help computer for anything that can help him. He's a quick study, I'll give him that. What he's learned in minutes took me weeks to come up with, I'll just have to take it up a notch, and I have just the dice to do it with too." Duke thought narrowing his eyes at Yugi before throwing his next set of dice and he smirked as he got two summoning crests. "Dimension the Dice and unleash my creature!" he shouted pushing one of the dice down into the board and another dice rose out of the ground.
"Here we go again." Mokuba said watching as another monster appeared. "The Battle Ox is in this game!?"
"Seems so, and he doesn't look very happy." Kaiba muttered.
"Now I'll use four of my stored movement crests to have my Battle Ox advance into your territory. Also, my Battle Ox gets a 10-point bonus for fighting warrior type monsters, like your knight!" Duke shouted with a cackle as his Battle Ox moved across the squares towards Yugi's knight, the ox then roared and raised its axe and began to swing it down towards Yugi's monster.
"Quickly switch into defence mode!" Yugi ordered his knight which turned to face Duke's monster and crossed its swords blocking the attack. "Sorry Duke but in Defence mode my Knight of Twin Swords has a defensive power of ten, he'll lose twenty of his thirty hit points, but he'll remain on the field." He said and his friends sighed out in relief.
"Unbelievable that cheat has learned how to defend!" Duke thought slamming his hands down on his stand in frustration.
"My turn now," Yugi said rolling his dice and he smiled and picked up the two attack crests. "I'm going to defeat your Battle Ox, using these two attack crests I activate my Knight of Twin Swords' special ability allowing him to attack twice in one turn." He explained as his Knight of Twin Swords pushed Battle Ox back. "Go Double Slash Attack!" Yugi's knight swung both swords across the Battle Ox making it howl in pain before it was destroyed.
"Alright Yugi!" Joey, Tristan and Tea cheered while Daisuke and the Kaiba brothers shared a smile, their joy was short lived however as Duke began chuckling which soon turned into full blown laughter before he stopped and smirked.
"Enjoy your little victory Yugi, but my last move wasn't about summoning another monster, it was all about boxing you in." he began to explain. "Take a look at my dungeon path, it goes from one side of the field to the other creating one solid line in front of your path, and guess what Yugi, your dungeon path can't cross it. That means your monsters can't get to my Heart Points and you can't build forward your path anymore, you're trapped Yugi!"
"Uh what does he mean by that?" Joey asked Daisuke who was looking at the field.
"From what I'm gathering, Duke's been able to create a solid wall in front of Yugi's monsters, meaning he can't summon that many more without running out of room and also if he wants to get to Duke's Heart Points he'll need to make his monsters run through a gauntlet of monsters, but then they'd all get pulverised." She explained.
"Oh, that's bad." Joey said.
"Well at least one of Yugi's brain dead friends understands my genius." Duke commented earning a glare from Daisuke and Duke smirked back as he picked up his next three dice and he chuckled. "Ah perfect."
"What's that jerk smiling about?" Joey grumbled glaring at Duke who showed the others a black dice.
"This here is a very rare Black Dice, with it I'm about to finish you off for good." He told Yugi before throwing the dice.
"Well what is it?" Yugi asked as Duke smirked and ran a hand through his hair.
"A pair of summon crests." He said grabbing the Blake Dice. "Now bear witness to the power of the rare Black Dice." He pushed the Dice into the board, everyone watched the Black Dice appear on the field and unfold to reveal a swirling hole on one of the squares. "Behold the Warp Vortex!"
"Warp what?" Yugi muttered.
"Warp Vortex it seems I'll have to explain this too. The Warp Vortex is a rare summon that only a Black Dice can produce, it is a direct pathway to anywhere on the field, but it takes two Warp Vortexes to work, the second one is where the monster comes out and I know just where to put the second vortex, right behind your defences and with a direct line to your Heart Points." Duke explained with a smirk. "All I need to do now is to wait until my Black Dice comes back around and I'll be able to create the second vortex."
"This is bad, Yugi you'd better start working on adding some more monsters." Daisuke called out to her friend as he grabbed his next batch of dice.
"Don't worry, that's what I'm doing." He replied throwing the dice and he smiled as he saw two summon crests. "Yes, another summon."
"Way to go Yugi!" Tea cheered as Yugi grabbed one of the dice. He then pushed it down and another dice appeared in the corner of the field and unfolded to reveal a ninja clad in all black with a mask and long red scarf around his neck.
"Meet the Strike Ninja, his high speed allows him to move three spaces for every movement crest." Yugi said.
"High speed huh? Well he won't be a match for the warp speed my vortex will give me." Duke replied as he picked up his next set of dice and he chuckled. "And lookie here, my second Black Dice, time to make another Warp Vortex and finish you off for good." He said throwing the dice and they rolled across the board with everyone holding their breath. "Gah, you lucked out…this time." He grumbled after the dice finished rolling, thankfully not landing on anything that would help Duke create another Warp Vortex.
"What a relief." Joey said with a deep sigh as Yugi's next three dice appeared and Yugi's eyes widened when he saw them and smiled.
"Duke, I've just found a major hole in your plan…or rather a vortex." He said holding up a very familiar dice.
"A Black Dice!" Duke shouted in shock.
"That's right, now let's see if I can have better luck." Yugi said throwing his dice across the board and they came to a stop and he smiled. "Alright, a pair of summon crests. I think it's time I created a Warp Vortex of my own, and a direct line to your own Heart Points." He continued as he pushed the Black Dice into the board and it appeared on the field and unfolded showing the second Warp Vortex.
"No, that means…" Duke trailed off glaring at Yugi who was smirking at him.
"Now Strike Ninja, jump into the Warp Vortex." Yugi commanded and the Strike Ninja obeyed running off at incredible speed right to the Warp Vortex before he jumped into the Vortex which gave off a bright purple light.
"He entered the Warp Vortex, but that means…" Duke shouted looking to his own Warp Gate to see Strike Ninja emerge and keep running across the dungeon path.
"Now Strike Ninja, attack and destroy his Ryukishin with Stealth Slash Attack!" Yugi shouted as Strike Ninja pulled out a knife as Ryukishin turned to face the ninja and was slashed by the ninja who landed behind him.
"What's going on, nothing happened." Joey complained before half of Ryukishin fell off the monster before it all was disintegrated which made Joey, Tristan and Tea cheer while Duke's cheerleaders all huddled together crying in despair.
"Now that's cool." Mokuba complimented and Kaiba nodded.
"I can't believe Yugi got a rare Black Dice, now he's using my own Warp Vortex to strike my Heart Points, I have to stop him." Duke thought as he grabbed his dice and rolled them. "I need two summon crests…" he said before his dice stopped rolling. "No…my roll failed me!"
"Now it's my turn." Yugi said grabbing his next set of dice and he rolled them and smiled. "A set of movement crests," Duke's eyes widened and he gripped his fists tightly. "Strike Ninja, advance!"
"Oh yeah I love seeing that guy run fast." Joey said with a grin as Strike Ninja ran across the path towards Duke's Heart Points.
"Now Strike Ninja attack Duke's Heart Points!" Yugi commanded and his monster leapt high into the air and threw six throwing knives at one of the Heart Points making it flicker and go out.
"No, my Heart Point!" Duke shouted in anger, the others cheered while he glared over at Yugi. "Enjoy that victory while you can Yugi, because I promise you it's never happening again!" He shouted grabbing his dice and throwing them and he smirked on seeing the two summoning crests he rolled. "Yes, a level three summoning!" he grabbed one dice and pushed it into the board.
Everyone watched as the dice rose out of the field and unfolded. "I now summon my undefeatable monster, Orgoth the Relentless!" He shouted and everyone saw a giant mountain of an armoured figure with glowing yellow eyes and a giant sword held in one hand. "Next I use two of my stored magic crests to activate Orgoth's special ability, raising his attack power from twenty to thirty. Next I'll be using some of my stored movement crests to move Orgoth into striking range of your Strike Ninja."
"This isn't good." Daisuke said watching as Orgoth moved across the path towards Strike Ninja with the ground shaking beneath the giant's feet.
"Orgoth the Relentless attack Strike Ninja with Diamond Blade Strike!" Duke commanded, his monster obeyed and lifted its sword high into the air as Yugi began checking the help computer for anything that might save his Strike Ninja from being destroyed.
"That's it!" he whispered with his eyes going wide as he found what he was looking for just as Orgoth the Relentless swung his sword down at Strike Ninja creating a cloud of smoke.
"Your Strike Ninja's been crushed!" Duke shouted in triumph.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that Duke." Yugi replied, making Duke look at him. "Why don't you take another look?" Yugi said as the smoke began to clear, and everyone looked at the fading smoke.
"No way…there in the smoke…it's the Strike Ninja!" Duke shouted and sure enough the Strike Ninja stood on Orgoth's blade completely unharmed.
"Sorry Duke but just before Orgoth's attack. I used a stored Trap Crest to activate my ninja's special ability. It allows him to completely dodge any attack waged against him and escape harm." Yugi explained.
"I can't believe Yugi's taught himself such an advanced defence move; he's making me look like a novice at my own game!" Duke thought with his left eye twitching in anger. "I can't let him rattle me; this kid is nothing but a lousy cheat. He doesn't have the skills to win this match!"
"It's my move Duke." Yugi said holding up his next three dice and he threw them, and they landed on three movement crests. "And now I can attack again with my Strike Ninja. Go!" he commanded and Strike Ninja jumped up and threw more throwing knives at Duke's second Heart Point making it flicker and go dim.
"No! Not another one of my Heart Points!" Duke exclaimed as his cheerleaders all wailed in despair again.
"Looks like I'm in the lead now Duke." Yugi said with a small grin which only angered Duke.
"You little wannabe! I swore I'd get my revenge on you for defeating Pegasus and I'm going to do it!" He thought angrily as he threw his next three dice across his board and smirked. "Now Orgoth show that ninja why you're called Relentless!" He shouted to his monster.
"Oh no, I don't have anymore trap crests left, there's nothing I can do to save my Strike Ninja this time." Yugi thought watching as Orgoth destroyed his Strike Ninja with a single strike.
"Oh no, his ninja's been wiped out!" Tea exclaimed as Duke smirked and looked at Yugi.
"You were close Yugi, closer than anyone has ever been to defeating me. But now it's all over, you may have one more Heart Point then I do but I have Orgoth the Relentless and none of your monsters stand a chance against him. It's only a matter of time before I win this game and put you into an early retirement for good!" he promised with a laugh.
