Dungeon Dice Monsters: The Truth is Revealed
I don't own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh
"This isn't good, with Yugi's ninja gone Duke has him on the defensive again." Daisuke said as she and the others looked at the field as Yugi picked up some dice to roll for his next turn.
"That'll work." Yugi said under his breath looking at what he rolled before looking to Duke. "Looks like I've rolled a movement crest with a double bonus. So, I'll use it to position my Knight of Twin Swords between your monsters and my heart-points." As he said this his Knight began moving across the squares back to Yugi's platform.
"Nice try Yugi, but we both know none of your monsters can stop Orgoth the Relentless." Duke said as he rolled his dice with a smirk. "Orgoth advance four spaces!" he commanded.
"Oh no, he's heading right for the Warp Vortex, if he does that, he'll bypass Yugi's monsters without a fight." Joey said as Orgoth neared the Warp Vortex.
"Remember how you used my Warp Vortex to get to my heart-points?" Duke asked Yugi with a cocky smirk. "Well now I'm about to do the same to you. Orgoth jump into the Warp Vortex!" he shouted and his monster obeyed stepping onto the Warp Vortex square and he sank into it before a bright column of purple light shot out from the other Warp Vortex on Yugi's side of the field. "The end is near, Yugi!"
"I think not, in case you forgot Duke I still have one more heart-point than you and now it's my turn." Yugi said as he rolled his next set of dice and nodded at the movement crests he just rolled. "I'll be using these movement crests to move my monsters into the path of your monster." He said as his three monsters moved into a line to hold back Orgoth.
"How sad, the King of Games is in a desperate retreat." Duke said with a smirk as he rolled his dice and chuckled. "Now you'll see how a real master plays, I'll use two movement crests from my crest pool to move Orgoth into striking range, then with the magic crests I rolled I'll raise Orgoth's attack points by ten giving him a total of forty. Now Orgoth destroy Thunderball!" he shouted as his monster moved along the squares standing right in front of Thunderball before slicing down with his sword cutting the monster in half destroying it.
"Just two monsters left!" Tristan exclaimed in concern.
"I know Yugi's always been in tough spots before and he's always come back to win. And he still has the lead." Tea said.
"Do you think Yugi can win this Seto?" Mokuba asked his brother as the two watched closely.
"We'll have to wait and see, but I do know that Devlin is being overconfident in his boasting. He clearly doesn't understand that Yugi always finds a way to turn a match around no matter what the odds are against him." His brother answered softly.
"Poor Yugi, you played well but you've run out of territory to summon monsters. Looks like I was right there is no way a hack like you could have defeated the great Pegasus. Now I'll expose you for what you really are." Duke said arrogantly.
"Don't write that victory speech just yet Devlin." Yugi said rolling his dice and checked his help computer and smiled. "Alright. I've figured out Mighty Mage's special ability, she can attack monsters two spaces away." He thought before looking to his monster. "Mighty Mage attack Orgoth!" he commanded and his mage charged with her sceptre glowing with magical power.
"Nice try but I'm going to use one defence crest to strengthen my monster. Orgoth the Relentless activate defence!" He shouted and his monster growled with an aura of crimson energy flowing from his body as Mighty Mage struck with her attack.
"Oh no Orgoth withstood Yugi's attack!" Joey said in worry.
"That's right dogboy, Orgoth only took ten damage points dropping his hit points to twenty." Duke explained with a smirk.
"And because Orgoth has an attack power of forty, my Mighty Mage took twenty damage points, but that leaves her with twenty hit points. She's not finished yet Duke." Yugi said.
"Not after my next move." Duke replied as he grabbed his dice and smirked and rolled them. "Advance one space Orgoth the Relentless!" he commanded and his monster did so. "Right now, Orgoth has a total attack power of forty, but I can use his special ability and six magic crests to raise his attack by thirty making him more than a match for your pathetic mage." Orgoth growled as his body bulked from the added power as a crimson aura surrounded him again as his attack grew.
"You should know that it takes more than strength to win Devlin, without strategy power is just an empty threat." Yugi told him.
"We'll see about that. Orgoth attack Mighty Mage!" Duke shouted and his monster swung his sword down cutting Mighty Mage in half and she was destroyed in a shower of sparks.
"Oh no, now he only has one monster left between Duke's monster and his heart points, how is he going to get out of this?" Joey asked Daisuke who clenched her fists as Duke chuckled arrogantly.
"Looks like your beginners' luck is about to run out Yugi." He told Yugi as he picked up his next three dice and clenched his fist. "Just give it up and surrender, stop wasting my valuable time."
"Shut up ya jerk!" Daisuke snapped slamming her fists down on the side of the arena glaring at Duke before turning to Yugi. "Don't let this guy rattle you, Yug. You've been in tougher situations and much better duelists then this guy and you always turned things around. You even beat Uncle Pegasus and he was about as crooked as they come. You won the entire Duelist Kingdom tournament."
"Even so, this is different." Yugi replied.
"Don't start being humble now Yugi. You won that tournament because you were the best duelist on the island. Better than Weevil, better than Mako, you were even better than me and Mai, all because you believed in yourself and in the Heart of the Cards no matter who they were or how tough they seemed. Don't forget you defeated Pegasus at his own game, don't let this lousy wannabee game creator tell you otherwise. You can beat him at his own game because you're the best duelist I've ever seen." Daisuke continued with a confident smile.
"She's right, so what if this dumb game has a few new rules you can still win this if you trust in yourself. You taught us both that." Joey said with a smile while Duke growled glaring at Joey who stuck his tongue out at the arrogant creator of Dungeon Dice Monsters.
Yugi smiled and looked up at Daisuke and Joey. "You two are right, I can never forget what helped me win at Duelist Kingdom believing in myself and the Heart of the Cards, as long as I have the same faith in my dice as I do in my dueling deck I can still win this." He said before he smirked at Duke. "So, I advise you to keep an eye on your last heart point because I'm coming for it!" he shouted before he rolled his dice.
He looked at his dice and nodded. "I use my movement crest to move my Knight of Twin Swords forwards two spaces." He said as the knight walked towards Orgoth. "And next I'll add four attack crests from my crest pool to the two attack crests I just rolled giving my Knight a total of six attack crests." He continued.
"Orgoth only has five defence crests, with that advantage Yugi should be able to defeat Orgoth and then go on the offensive." Kaiba thought watching closely.
"Knight of Twin Swords Attack!" Yugi commanded.
"You amateur! You may have six attack crests, but I have Yaranzo's special ability. He can turn any crests I have in my crest pool and turn them to defence crests giving Orgoth more than enough power to counter your Knight's attacks!" Duke shouted as Yaranzo fired a beam of energy at Orgoth who began blocking the six strikes.
"I can't believe it, Orgoth blocked all six of Yugi's Knight's attacks!" Daisuke gasped in shock as Duke smirked.
"Only a few more roles of the dice until it's all over Yugi, now I'll show you why they call Orgoth the Relentless." He said as he rolled his dice and laughed. "Orgoth destroy Knight of Twin Swords!" Orgoth roared as he swung his sword down and cut the Knight of Twin Swords in half shattering him to pieces in a bright flash of light.
"No! It's gone!" Tea exclaimed in worry.
"That was your last monster Yugi, now nothing stands in my way. This is going to be so sweet!" Duke shouted with a smirk.
"I won't give up." Yugi replied as he rolled his dice and frowned.
"Looks like you didn't roll anything that can help you, not that anything could save you in the first place." Duke said with a smirk as he rolled his dice. "I move Orgoth two spaces, putting him directly in front of your heart points!" he shouted as his monster walked and soon stood in front of Yugi's heart points. "Now Orgoth attack Yugi and his heart points!"
"No Yugi!" Tea shouted as Orgoth jumped up and swung his sword down slashing through one of Yugi's heart points.
"You only have one more turn before I finish you for good. Finally, I will avenge Pegasus' defeat and prove to the world you're nothing but a phoney!" Duke shouted with a smirk.
"Don't celebrate just yet Devlin. All I need to do is to summon a monster and turn this match around!"
"Dream on. You can't summon another monster; you have no space left to dimension the dice. I control the entire field!" Duke told him with a smirk. "This is the moment of truth Yugi, millions of people around the world are glued to their television screens just waiting for me to defeat you."
"He's right, this is the moment of truth. I still know of one monster who can help me, I just have to believe." Yugi thought as he rolled his dice and everyone waited in worry as they slowly stopped rolling.
"A level four summoning!" Joey cheered upon seeing the results of the dice roll.
"Nice move, but it's not going to help you. You can't dimension the dice anymore Yugi!" Duke told him and Yugi chuckled under his breath.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that Devlin, there is more than one way to dimension the dice, you just have to believe." He told Duke.
"Don't tell me how to play my game!" Duke shouted angrily.
"Then why don't I let the dice show you?" Yugi replied as he picked up the blue dice and pushed it down onto his display and the dice appeared on the field and to Duke's anger and shock it fell perfectly into place.
"Impossible! You completed the summoning!" He shouted.
"That's right and now I summon the Dark Magician!" Yugi told him.
"You what!?" Duke demanded before being blinded by a golden flash of light as the powerful magician appeared on the field.
"The Dark Magician has never failed me Duke, all I had to do was believe in my dice and now he has appeared." Yugi said. "And now I move the Dark Magician forward, then I'll use his forty attack points to bring down Orgoth the Relentless." He said as his magician moved along the squares. "Dark Magic Attack!" His magician nodded and launched a magical blast from his staff at Orgoth and destroyed him easily. "With only twenty defence points Orgoth couldn't stand against my Dark magician."
"Take that Dukey Boy!" Joey shouted with a cheer as Tea and Tristan cheered also.
"Your comeback ends now. Don't underestimate me I invented the game!" Duke shouted as he rolled his dice and smirked. "I move the Dark Assailant!" he shouted and the monster began jumping along the board towards the treasure chest that laid in its path. "Remember when I told you about item summoning, well now is the time I show you what is inside. Dark Assailant open the treasure chest!" He commanded his monster which jumped onto the treasure chest before opening the chest and a giant explosion and cloud of smoke obscured whatever was inside from view.
"What's that?" Mokuba asked in concern as two glowing red eyes could be seen through the smoke.
"Behold, the Monster Cannon!" Duke shouted as a giant dinosaur emerged from the smoke with a cannon strapped onto its back with the Dark Assailant sitting on its shoulder.
"Monster Cannon, what does that do?" Tea asked.
"What's it do, I'll tell you. It takes down Yugi's Dark Magician." Duke answered with a smirk.
"So, it's like Catapult Turtle then, it uses other monsters to attack the opponent?" Daisuke asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You got that right. And now Monster Cannon prepare to attack the Dark Magician." Duke said with a smirk as Monster Cannon lowered its cannon taking aim while Dark Assailant jumped into the cannon.
"I activate Dark Magician's Special Ability now!" Yugi shouted. "Conceal yourself with Magical Hats!" his magician nodded and suddenly four large hats appeared and began to move around in front of the Monster Cannon. "Feeling lucky Devlin, the Dark Magician hides under one of these hats but you only have one shot to find out."
"Your carnival tricks won't save this time Yugi. Monster Cannon attack the Dark Magician under the second hat from the left!" Duke commanded and his monster growled aiming at the designated hat and fired at the hat destroying it in an explosion. "It's got to be there!"
As the smoke cleared everyone saw that the Dark Magician had not been under that hat. "Looks like you guessed wrong." Yugi said to Duke.
"What, he survived!?" Duke exclaimed as the Dark Magician appeared out of another hat in a flash of light.
"I should thank you Duke for making the Dark Magician's special abilities the same here as they are in Duel Monsters!" Yugi said with a smirk.
"Yaranzo retreat to your original square!" Duke hastily ordered and the monster obeyed crawling back to its original square it was summoned on. "The Dark Magician has a few other special abilities; I need to improve my defence before I lose my advantage." He then thought.
"You can run Devlin, but you can't hide!" Yugi shouted, rolling his dice and he smiled. "I'll use those magic crests to activate another special ability of my Dark Magician, the Mystic Box!" everyone watched as the magical box appeared behind the Dark Magician who proceeded to jump into the box as the doors shut.
Duke watched as swords rained down on the Mystic Box entering the slots on the box and he growled. "How are you doing to win now, you just skewered your own monster!"
"Are you sure Duke?" Yugi asked as another Mystic Box appeared on the field around where Yaranzo used to be, the first box then slowly opened before Duke's eyes widened and he gasped on seeing Yaranzo's arm limply fall out of the box.
"Yaranzo! Your magician switched places with my monster!" he shouted as the second box opened up and Dark Magician stepped out who smirked at Duke. "And now he's in attack position, there's nothing between us to protect my heart points!"
"Which means he'll deliver the final blow. Dark Magic Attack!" Yugi shouted and his magician obeyed, launching a powerful magic blast at the last of Duke's heart points making it go dim and everyone was silent as the monsters and squares on the field slowly faded away.
"My dog days are over!" Joey cheered throwing off the dog costume and he jumped for joy while Tea, Tristan and Daisuke cheered for their friend's victory while the Kaiba brothers smiled at the scene.
Soon everyone was in one of the rooms in the living quarters of the game shop for Duke where Duke had his head in his hands as everyone listened to him apologise for his actions earlier. "The better player won today, and it was you, Yugi. You really beat Pegasus fair and square, ugh I was such a creep today."
"Ain't that the truth." Daisuke muttered, crossing her arms. "How about the next time you want to accuse someone of cheating you get the entire story from both sides first." She told him and he nodded before he groaned.
"And thanks to those tv cameras the whole world knows it. My store is ruined." Duke then said in despair. "No one is going to want to play Dungeon Dice Monsters now."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that; the game was actually pretty cool. The only thing I didn't like was you being a complete jerk." Joey said as he tossed a dice in his hand. "If you cut that out, I'm sure once the game takes off, you'll have more customers than you can handle." The boy said with a smile.
"I'm surprised you're letting him off so easily, he did put you in a dog costume remember?" Kaiba asked with a smirk.
"Well my dad always says forgive and forget. I'd be a real bad person if I held on to bad feelings like that." Joey replied with a sheepish grin.
"Sometimes you scare me with how mature you can be." Daisuke said with a giggle making her brother blush and their friends shared a laugh before Duke's laptop beeped. "Oh, sounds like you got some mail, anything good?" She asked with a knowing grin.
Duke checked his laptop and clicked on the email and as he read it his eyes went wide. "Whoa, Industrial Illusions did send a contract after all and they want to take Dungeon Dice Monsters global!" he exclaimed in shock and joy and everyone gasped and began congratulating him while Kaiba walked over to Daisuke with a smile.
"I take it you had something to do with it?" he whispered.
"Well I am going to be taking control of Uncle Max's company one day, I thought I could make a call to push things along." She whispered back with a grin and he chuckled.
"Not bad." He praised and she smiled while the others continued celebrating with Duke.
