Story 2; the rise of the king
Chapter 1; a new adventure
Sonic was heading home riding his duel runner. He had just gave Amy a ride with his runner to her house after his gang's meeting at the duelist's haunt. She loved the sensation of the wind hitting her face during the ride. She had confided to Sonic just 2 minutes ago before they split how jealous she was that he was out all day accepting duel challenges. It wasn't of course that pleasant always for Sonic. A year ago he was crowned world champion after defeating his best friend Tails. Now that everyone knew that he was the champion he fought about 15 duels a day. And he never even got close to losing. Instead his reputation turned to almost a legend. Duelists even from other countries came every day for a chance against him. And most of them wanted the ante rule to take place so they could acquire Sonic's most valuable possession. The Black-Winged Dragon. The key card that turned his blackwing deck to an almost undefeatable force. But Sonic never lost and in exchange he received tons of rare cards from his opponents even though he always tried to get them to keep their cards. But his opponents couldn't accept holding what he had earned. Of course Sonic enjoyed the duels but what Amy didn't know was that it was not pleasant if he had to do it all day like if it was a job. Amy also confided that she would love to get a duel runner herself tomorrow for her birthday but even though she got her license about a month ago her parents still hesitated in buying her one. But Sonic knew Amy was ready. Not to mention he wanted to see her happy. He was thinking of a way to help Amy get a runner when he remembered seeing an advertisement for a duel runner sale. Tomorrow was Amy's birthday and she would hold a party in her house. It was a perfect chance. He immediately stopped and demounted his runner. Then he called a number.
"Hello?" a voice answered some seconds ago.
"Hello. My name is Sonic the hedgehog. I am calling for the duel runner you are selling"
Some seconds went by in silence.
"Sonic? You mean champion Sonic? It is my honor that you called. If you're interested in my runner I am expecting you anytime."
"Ok then. Could I drop by and have a look at it? In.. let's say.. 10 minutes?"
"Of course. Of course."
"Ok I m on my way. Oh and one more thing."
"What is it mister the hedgehog?"
"Please don't use this kind of tone in your voice sir. Maybe I am the champion but I don't really like being addressed as something beyond a common man."
"Y-Yes. O-Of course. I'll be expecting you."
Sonic ended the call and then headed towards the house of the runner seller. He reached there exactly in 10 minutes.
"Welcome mister.. I mean Sonic."
"Thank you for giving me the chance to have a look at the runner."
"If you allow me I would like to ask you mister…. I mean Sonic. What do you plan to do with this duel runner?"
"Gift for a friend."
"Oh. This is the first time someone buys a duel runner for a friend. At least s far as I know."
Sonic then started checking the duel runner. The outside part was in good shape. The engine needed some repair but he believed he could fix it. The tires seemed not new yet not old either. And finally, it was obvious that it required a change in color. But this was something he could accomplish until tomorrow.
"Seems good enough. What's the price?"
"For you only, 300 euros."
"We have a deal."
Sonic paid for the runner then asked if the owner could send it to his house before the end of the day. The owner replied positively immediately and called someone to drive it to Sonic's house.
The man tasked to drive it outside Sonic's house expected to see a mansion or something but he was surprised to see that Sonic lived in a simple apartment with his parents. Sonic paid him some money for bringing the runner and then took it to the garage where he started by removing the engine from inside and putting a brand new one that his father bought him as a replacement part in case his runner's engine broke down or something. Then, he installed a duel system with one of his spare duel discs after he painted it pink, Amy's favorite color. Next job was to replace the tires. He went out again and bought the newest tires he could find. Finally after 3 hours the runner was ready. And to perfect his creation, he painted it all in the color of the rose and wrote with big letters at the rear of the runner the words 'Rose of revenge' in black color. The very next day he drove the Rose of revenge next to Amy's house shortly before the party then dressed up formally and made his hair in a cool style. Just at the beginning of the party he reached Amy's house with his own runner and then drove the Rose in as well. Afterwards he knocked Amy's door. When she opened the door, time stopped. He felt his heart beating at the speed of light at Amy's sight. He looked at her gorgeousness. She was wearing a white dress and was wearing beautiful earrings. She was also wearing a neckless made of pearls which made her even prettier. He thought that a century passed until he realized he was looking at her with his mouth almost hanging open. But what he didn't notice was that Amy had the same reaction at his sight.
"Um sorry for my reaction" Sonic apologized " you look gorgeous tonight"
Amy blushed but answered back.
"Thank you. You look very handsome too."
"I didn't bring your gift upstairs because it was too big to carry. It is at the garage. Would like to come and see it or do you want us to go see it later?"
"No let's go now. Guys we're coming in a sec."
"Ok" the gang replied from the inside of the house.
Sonic and Amy went down the stairs. But before Amy opened the door Sonic closed her eyes with his hand while saying "I want it to be a surprise". Then he led her in front of the rose of revenge. And after they stopped moving he opened her eyes while saying " ta daah".
"OH MY GOSH!" Amy screamed in happiness " A DUEL RUNNER!" Oh Sonic!"
She embraced him very hard.
"You shouldn't have. You must have spent a fortune."
"It wasn't much for me honestly. I upgraded most of it after I bought it. New engine, new tires, new duel system and of course a brand new color."
Amy felt that her heart would blow up. She wanted to kiss Sonic so badly for doing all that for her.
"Oh Sonic! You're so sweet." She said while giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Sonic felt his heart beating fast when he received the kiss.
"Come on. Let's go upstairs" he said "you can't let the guys wait."
"Oh yeah I got carried away. Heh heh. But still thank you. You had no obligation to buy this for me."
"Don't mention it." Sonic said smiling.
Then they headed upstairs but at the door they met Amy's parents who saw the whole thing and were not very pleased with Sonic. Amy's dad took Sonic somewhere privately.
"Listen Sonic. I know Amy got her license but I just don't like the idea that she will go out there and race in the highways. I think you should take the runner back."
"Mister Rose. Amy is 18. With all my respect but this is her choice. Also you can see she wants it very much. You shouldn't do that on her birthday. This would wreck her entire mood."
Amy's dad still hesitated.
"Ok." He said in the end " but I want you to always ride next to her until I'm sure she can ride well on her own out there."
"You have my word."
"Ok then. Me and my wife are gonna go out to leave you party. But please persuade Amy not to destroy the house."
"I'll try my best."
Then Amy's father left. Sonic returned to the party. Amy immediately approached him.
"What did my dad tell you?"
"He said that I didn't do well buying you a duel runner. So he wants me to ride with you every time you go out with it until he feels sure that you will be ok."
"He'll never change I guess. Anyways" she said while referring to everyone "let the party start".
And the party did start for good. The house being destroyed was an understatement for what was the result of the party though. Everyone danced the night out. Rouge and Knuckles were almost acting like they were attracted by magnets. Sonic and Amy were flirting and dancing together all night. But no one of them made a step. In the end of the party everyone helped Amy clean the house. Then they split. The party began at 6pm and ended at 4am. Sonic went home immediately but couldn't sleep from the ecstasy of the party still in him. So he decided to practice. When he drew his hand his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Sonic. Amy here. The others can't sleep so we're going for some night dueling. Wanna tag along?"
"Sure"
He once again rode the furious flame he met with his friends outside the dueling field close to the duel dome. Amy immediately suggested first.
"Before we do anything guys. Sonic I want you to have a turbo duel with me."
"Are you sure Amy? Shouldn't we wait till daylight so you can see the road better?"
"Nooo. I can't wait! Please, please, please!"
"Ok relax. Let's do it."
They all headed to the closest highway for duel runners. Tails would signal the start. Both Sonic's and Amy's runners roared in the night.
"On your marks. Get set. GOOOO!"
They accelerated. They reached the first corner and they both crossed it at the same time. The road they used created a circle leading back to the start.
"What now?" she asked.
"Ladies first." Sonic said
"Oh you're so kind. My turn. I draw. Off we go! I summon I discard dandylion to special summon the tricky in attack mode. Then 2 tokens are special summoned due to dandylion's effect. Then I summon twilight rose knight. I tune all of my monsters together!"
"What? Level 10 synchro?"
"Exactly. Behold! Leo the keeper of the sacred tree!"
"3100 attack points?!"
"I set a card. I end my turn. Don't be surprised Sonic. You're not the only one who gets stronger."
"Indeed. But I also get stronger. My turn. I draw. I summon blackwing shura the blue flame in attack mode. Then I special summon blackwing gale the whirlwind because I have a blackwing on my field."
"It's no use Sonic. My Leo cannot be targeted by your monster effects. Your gale can't do anything here."
"I know your Leo's effect. But I'm not done. I have another trick up my sleeve. I special summon blackwing bora the spear. Now I tune all 3 of my monsters together as well!"
"Level 11 synchro! There's only 1 level 11 synchro out there!"
"Yup the one and only Star Eater! Attack Leo!"
"I activate sakuretsu armor!"
"It's useless Amy. Star Eater seals your effects until the end of the damage step."
"Aah" ( Amy LP 7900) "Man is there any way anyone can catch you by surprise?" Amy asked with a smile on her face.
"Ames no offense but you're facing the champion. How can you catch him by surprise?" Sonic said while accelerating.
"Ok make the rest of your move."
"I end my turn star eater is enough pain for now."
"My turn then. I draw. I summon botanical lion in attack mode. And then I activate the spell mark of the rose!"
"WHAT?! Where did you get that? The only ones I've seen holding this are professionals who use plant decks!"
"A plant user challenged me and I defeated her. Since you know it I assume you know its effect right?"
"You take control of a monster on my field for each of my turns." Sonic said
"Indeed. Star eater! Botanical lion! Attack Sonic directily!"
"AAAAAH"(Sonic LP 2900)
"Your move Sonic. Star eater is yours once more."
"Damn" Sonic thought " her power increased as well. But I am not losing such an awesome duel."
"My turn Ames. I draw. I set a card and activate twin twisters. I discard blackwing- bolt the lightning to destroy your mark of the rose and my set card."
"Why would you destroy your own card?"
"Because my set card was dig of destiny. But bolt's effect activates in my graveyard. It allows me to discard a trap card to summon him back. And the trap I discard is my second dig of destiny. And because my set dig of destiny was destroyed I draw cards equal to the number of dig of destiny copies in my graveyard plus one so 2 cards."
At the start line
"Sonic is just one step ahead as always" Tails said " he managed to get rid of some bad cards replaced his hand, summoned a monster out and get rid of Amy's spell."
"My head hurts this combo is too big!" Knuckles said grabbing his head like if he had a headache.
Back at the track
" Now it is a whole new game Amy. I summon forth blackwing fane the steel chain. Then I tune it with my level 5 tuner bolt the lightning to summon lightning warrior! Lightning sblade attack!"
"AAH" (Amy LP 7400)
"And that's not all. Lightning warrior deals you 300 damage for every card in your hand and you have 1."
"AAh"( Amy LP 7100)
"Star eater attack! Planet devastation!"
"AAAAAH" (Amy LP 3900).
"Make your move Amy. Once I set these 2 cards."
"My turn. I draw. Yes! I summon witch of the black rose in attack mode. And now I play miracle fertilizer to revive my dandylion! And now I'll tune it with my monster to summon my almighty ace! Arise black rose dragon! And wipe out the entire field!"
"Noo!"
The field exploded. But from within the smoke Sonic and Amy emerged with Amy having all her cards and black rose intact and Sonic – everyone was shocked with what they saw – with the black-winged dragon by his side.
"What gives? Why is Black-winged here?"
"I triggered the trap emergency button. It only activates whenever 3 or more cards on each of our fields are about to be destroyed 1 at least of them being synchro monsters. It preserves your cards and I lose my monsters but if they are both synchro monsters I can summon a synchro from my extra deck that has a level between the levels of the destroyed monsters. Lightning warrior is level 7 and star eater is level 11 so I can summon my level 8 black-winged dragon."
"ok then. I'll just end my turn with a face down."
"My turn then. I draw. Black-winged dragon destroy black rose dragon! Black Blazing stream!"
"I play the trap synchro rivalry. I pay the difference between the attack points of our monsters to make their attacks equal to the highest attack."
"Good play."
The dragons' attacks collided but they didn't stop attacking each other.
"what the heck?" Sonic wondered
"There must be really a glitch in the hologram this time" Amy thought.
But she spoke too soon. Their marks started shining.
"What?! Why are our marks shining? Shouldn't the lunar dragon have been laid to rest with the priest?" Amy wondered.
The dragons stopped their attacks but once the beams created the lunar dragon's form. He roared. Suddenly Sonic felt that he was going a bit too fast. He looked at the speed meter and noticed that his runner was about to overcome the top speed it could reach. Amy's too.
"Sonic what's going on?" she asked scared.
"I think the lunar dragon is speeding our runners up" Sonic shouted trying to be heard in the roaring of the runner's engine.
And at that moment their runners started having an orange aura around them as if they were being set on fire due to going too fast.
"Sonic I'm scared. I can't stop it!"
Sonic tried to get close to Amy but he couldn't control his runner. It was running on its own will. He noticed his friends trying to catch up to them on their own runners but they were too slow. And right then the world around Sonic started changing. The sky was turning white so did the ground. So did everything around him and Amy. He tried one last time to make his runner turn but it didn't resist. It turned. It crashed on Amy's runner. And then all turned black.
