The surroundings changed as cross world was activated once again.
"I'll be taking the first turn thank you very much" Shad said
"Go right ahead, it won't matter in the end" I said
"Once I'm done defeating you I'll defeat Raizen to and prove that I'm the strongest duelist here" I continued
"Sure you can try" Shad said
Shad 4000LP
Sawatari 4000LP
Turn 1
"I activate the field spell-Curse of the shadow prison. I set one monster and set one card" Shad said
"I end my turn"
"Then it's my turn, I draw!" I said
Turn 2
"It's time for the performance to the scale 2 Sassy Rookie and the scale 8 Funky Comedian I set the scales"
The two monsters appeared behind me as their scales glowed.
"I pendulum summon. Appear and take center stage, the star of the show Abyss Actor-Big Star and the supporting cast Abyss Actor- Leading Lady"
Abyss Actor-Big Star
Atk-2500
Abyss Actor- Leading Lady
Atk-1500
"I activate Abyss Actor-Big Star's to add Abyss Script- Rise of the Abyss King to my hand" I said adding the card to my hand
"I activate the spell Abyss Script-Rise of the Abyss King, using its effect I target your set card and monster and destroy them. And since I control a Level 7 Abyss Actor you cannot activate card's or effects in response"
A giant purple demonic entity extended out of my card and smashed both of Shad's cards.
"And with that your field is empty and I have monsters with just enough attack to finish you off, it's over Shad" I said
"Sawatari's about to defeat Shad!" Yuzu said shocked
"He's really about to win?," Ruri said with a confused smile
'Finally I get to be in the spotlight not Yuya or Raizen or Reiji. It's time I put an end to this'
"Now wait a minute, Sawatari we're not done just yet. Since my shaddoll monster was sent to the grave my Curse of Shadow prison gets a spellstone counter. For each spellstone counter my field spell has you lose 100 attack during your turn"
"Then I activate the effect of the monster you just destroyed-Shaddoll Squamata" Shad said
"You're not done yet?" I asked
"Of course he wouldn't go down so easily" Ruri said clenching her fist
"Using Shaddoll Squamata's effect I send Reeshaddoll Wendi to the graveyard" Shad sends the card to the grave "I activate Reeshaddol Wendi's effect and special summon Shaddoll Beast from my deck face down" Shad said
"Well you managed to save yourself from losing but I still have two monsters to attack with. Battle phase, Big Star attacks your facedown"
Shaddoll Beast
Def-1700
Big Star shined a spotlight at the flipped over Shaddoll Beast and then leaped to it and destroyed it.
"When Shaddoll Beast is flipped face up I can draw 2 cards and then discard one card, now that's a good draw" Shad said as he discarded a card
"Now Leading Lady attacks you directly-"
"You won't be getting an attack in Sawatari, I activate the effect of the Shaddoll hound that I just discarded to the grave, using its effect I shift your leading lady to defense position" Shad said interrupting me
"Damn it, well then I end my turn" I said
"I'll be going all out from now on, I draw!" Shad said
Turn 3
"I activate the spell card Shaddoll Fusion, since you control a monster summoned from the extra deck I can use monsters from my deck to the grave to fusion summon. I send Reeshaddoll Wendi and Helshaddol Hollow from my deck to fusion summon" He joined his hands
The two levitated in the air and began to merge.
"Fallen knight consumed by Hellfires, rise from your demise to serve me, reduce my foes to ashes . Fusion Summon. Appear Lvl 7 El Shaddoll Grysta"
El Shaddoll Grysta
Atk-2450
A knight levitated above the ground as flames danced around his armor as they enveloped his entire being. The heads of Shaddoll core swerved next to his helmet as he descended to the field.
"We're not done yet. I activate the effect of Reeshaddoll Wendi and Helshaddoll Hollow. Using Wendi I special summon Shaddoll Beast facedown"
"Using my Hollow's effect I send cards from the top of my deck to the grave based on the number of different attributes on the field, since there are two-fire and dark, I send two cards"
He special summoned shaddoll beast then sent two cards to the grave.
"The two cards sent to the grave are Shaddoll Core and Shaddoll hedgehog. I activate core's effect to add Shaddoll fusion back to my hand from the grave and I use hedgehog's effect to add Qadshaddoll keios to my hand"
He added the cards to his hand.
"Now I activate the Resh Shaddoll Incarnation in my grave, the card you destroyed. I banish it and hedgehog to flip my Shaddol beast face up. Shaddol beast's effect lets me draw two cards and I discard my Qadshaddoll keios, whose effect allows me to send a shaddoll monster from my hand to increase my monsters attack by 100 points multiplied by their level"
El Shaddoll Grysta
Atk-2450→3150
Shaddoll beast
Atk-2200→2700
"Battle Phase. My Shaddoll beast attacks your Leading lady"
Shaddoll Beast struck at leading lady with its claws destroying it.
"Now Grysta attack Big Star, Raging Hellfire!" He said
"Gahh!" I winced as Grysta slashed at my Big Star and destroyed it
Shingo- 4000LP→3350 LP
"This duel is already over, but I'll let you continue your struggle. I set two cards and end my turn"
"As if, I'll bring this duel back, just you watch. It's showtime, I draw!" I said
Turn 4
Shad- Hand 3
Sawatari- Hand 3
"It's time I bring this back. I use my already set scales and pendulum summon. Return to the field Big star and Leading lady" I said
The scales behind me shone as my monsters began to descend to the field.
"How about we take a trip down memory lane, you remember your first duel with Raizen when you were locked out of pendulum summoning, I'm going to be doing something similar here. I activate the effect of my Grysta" He said
"What does it do?" I asked
"It negates the special summon of a monster or monsters and destroy them and then send a shaddoll from my hand to the grave, Infernal Vortex!. The card I sent to the grave was shaddoll dragon, I activate its effect to destroy your sassy rookie" He said
Grysta let its red strings extend until it surrounded my two Abyss Actors creating a sphere and enclosing them. Once they were enclosed flames began to pour into the sphere incinerating my Abyss Actors and destroying them.
My two monsters were destroyed along with my pendulum scale causing the glowing behind me to stop.
"Also since your monsters were destroyed before they hit the field, they are sent to the grave so you won't be recycling your pendulum summons any longer, I'd like to see how you get out of this one" He said
"Well let me show you. I activate the field spell Abyss Playhouse-Fantastic theatre" I said
Walls began to sprout out of the ground until finally we were all enclosed in a giant castle-like theatre. Shad and I were on the stage while the people watching the duel were in the seats.
"I activate my field spell's effect" I said as I revealed the Abyss Actor-Mellow madonna and Abyss Script opening ceremony in my hand.
"Using its effect I add Abyss Script- Rise of the Abyss King. I then set the scale 0 mellow madonna in my pendulum scales and activate its effect"
My scales begin to glow again as my two scaled monsters levitate.
"I pay 500 life points and add an Abyss Actor to my hand, the one I choose to add is Wild hope. I set one card and set one monster, I end my turn"
Sawatari 3350LP→2850 LP
"I expected more Sawatari, but it seems like this will be a quick duel. I draw!" Shad said
Turn 5
"I'll go directly to the battle phase. Grysta destroy his face down monster, Raging Hellfire"
My wild hope was easily destroyed by Grysta's flames.
"When wild hope is destroyed I get to add an Abyss Actor from my deck, I choose to add comic relief" I said
"We're not done yet. Shaddoll beast attacks you directly" Shad said
Shaddoll beast leaped at me and slashed across my chest making me fall to the floor.
Sawatari 2850 LP→650LP
"Hah Hah" I breathed heavily as I began to stand up
"I should've known this was too much of a challenge for him after all even my brother and Yuto weren't able to do much against him" Ruri said from the seats
"I'm not done yet!" I shouted as I stood up
"Well you've got one turn left so I guess give it your all. I set a monster and end my turn" Shad said
"I'm not done yet, I draw!" I said
Turn 6
"I use my field spell's effect to add Abyss Script-Romantic terror to my hand from my deck by revealing my comic relief and Abyss Script-Rise of the Abyss king"
"Using my two set scales I pendulum summon-"
"Have you forgotten my Grysta's effect negates your extra deck special summons" Shad said
I smiled.
"Well I'll be pendulum summoning from my hand, so come to the field Abyss Actor comic relief and trendy understudy"
Comic relief
Atk-1000
Trendy Understudy
Atk-700
"I now activate the spell card Abyss Script-Romantic terror this allows me to return my comic relief to my hand and special summon an abyss actor from my extra deck, I choose to summon Abyss actor wild hope from my extra deck"
"In response to your special summon I activate Grysta's effect, I negate your special summon and then send shaddoll beast to the grave from my hand, with that your summon is negated" Shad said
"Not this time Shad. My field spells effect activates when I control a pendulum summoned abyss actor the first effect you use is instead changed to destroy a set spell or trap I control" I said
"Guess your summon goes through then, I'll destroy your set card" Shad said
My wild hope was successfully summoned.
"The set card you just destroyed was Abyss Script-opening ceremony, when it's destroyed I get to draw until I have 5 cards in my hand. Since I have one card I can now draw 4" I said drawing 4 cards
"That's a pretty powerful effect but are any of those 4 cards even any good?" Shad asked
"Of course they are. I normal summon Abyss Actor-leading lady. Now I activate Abyss Script- Rise of the Abyss King, since I have three monsters I can destroy three cards you control I choose to destroy your two set cards and your Shaddoll prison" I said
"I activate my trap card-Sinister Shadow games. Using it's effect I send Reeshaddol Wendi from my deck to the grave" Shad said
His three cards were destroyed.
"I activate Reeshaddol Wendi's effect and special summon Helshaddol Hollow face down" Shad said
"I activate the continuous spell Abyss Script- Abysstainment. Using its effect I tribute my trendy understudy and add back the Abyss Script-Rise of the Abyss King. And I activate it again this time since I have two attack position Abyss Actor's I'll be destroying two cards" I said
"I target your set Hollow and your shaddoll beast"
The Abyss king swiped at the cards with his fists and they were destroyed.
"I activate hollow's effect and send the top two cards from the top of my deck to the grave" Shad said
He discarded the cards.
"And I activate shaddoll beast's effect to draw 1 card" He said as he drew
"I activate the effect of Abysstainment once more. I tribute my leading lady and add the Rise of the Abyss king back to my hand. I then use its effect to destroy my mellow madonna" I said
"Why destroy your own pendulum scale?" He asked
"To do this. I set the scale 2 comic relief in the pendulum scale and now I use his effect to destroy my wild hope and gain control of your Grysta. And since wild hope was destroyed I get to add an Abyss Actor from my deck to my hand" I said
"I set two cards. Now Grysta attack Shad's set monster"
The set card flipped over to reveal Shaddoll falco.
"When shaddoll falco is flipped I get to special summon a shaddoll monster from my grave, I special summon Helshaddol hollow face down. If that's the best you've got then go ahead and end your turn" Shad said
"I set three cards and end my turn" I said
"My turn, let me end this duel, draw!" Shad said
Turn 7
" I activate the spell card Shaddoll fusion, using shaddoll dragon and qshaddol keios, I fusion summon"
"I combine the light of life with my shaddoll to bring into existence an inorganic anomaly! Fusion Summon! Come Forth El Shaddoll Construct!" He said as he joined his hands
Construct exited out of a fog and spread her strings into the area around her.
"When Construct is summoned I get to send a shaddoll from my deck to the grave, I'll send shaddoll beast, whose effect allows me to draw a card also Shaddoll dragon's effect activates allowing me to destroy your Abyss theatre"
"I flip over my Helshaddol Hollow and its effect activates. I send a Grysta from my extra deck and banish your Grysta. Grysta's effect activates in the grave letting me add Shaddoll fusion back to my hand"
"And with that your field is empty" He said
"My field is empty? What about my set cards?" I asked
"I'm not falling for those they're most likely a bluff, I have an idea of what your cards do so I'm not afraid to deliver the final attack, Helshaddol Hollow end this" He said
I began to look around frantically until an action spell caught my eye. I immediately ran towards it.
Shad seemed to notice what I was going for.
"Hurry hollow before he gets to the spell!" Shad shouted
I could feel the flames behind me as I barely managed to snag the action spell.
"I activate the action spell-evasion, with this your attack is negated" I said
But I wasn't done yet, he still had another monster. I just need to get another action spell and then next turn I should be able to pendulum summon enough monsters to win.
I ran once more but my path was blocked by the numerous purple strings surrounding me.
"This duel is over Sawatari, Construct attack him directly, Vitality slicer" Shad said
The strings around me began to constrict until they held me in place and began squeezing me.
"Gaaah!" I screamed as my entire body writhed in pain
Sawatari 650LP→0LP
Sawatari Lose
Shad Win
"Well we all knew this was going to be the end result" Shad said as he began walking towards me
Since the duel was over the surroundings returned to normal though the people who were watching the duel were beginning to get agitated.
I flinched in response to his approaching steps.
"Don't worry I'm not going to turn you into a card, I just wanted to see what kind of expression you had after such a loss"- he looked at me for awhile then turned away- "seems like you've finally learn fear"
"Sawatari are you ok" Yuzu asked as she walked up to me
"Yeah I am…" I said as I looked away from her
I lost again.
"We need to leave quick sector security is coming!" A boy shouted out from the crowd
"Guess it's time I take my leave" Shad said
"You're not going anywhere Shad" Ruri said as she walked up to Shad
"You just saw your friend get annihilated but still manage to hold this much confidence, I'll give you props for that. But I really need to get out of here, so if you want your revenge leave those two behind and come with me" Shad said as he placed a card in his duel disk and grabbed Ruri's hand
Several floating heads began to swerve around the two of them.
"Ruri!" Yuzu shouted as she looked between me and Ruri
"Go after her, I'll be fine" I said
"But-"
"Hurry before he gets away!" I shouted interrupting her
She reluctantly nodded and ran towards Ruri and grabbed her other hand.
The next moment the three of them disappeared.
I sighed as I looked towards the approaching police bikes.
Guess I was going to jail, hopefully they knew who my father is.
