The Queen of Games
Waking the Dragons
Chapter 28: Armor Mayhem- Part II
Previously on The Queen of Games, after Kaiba was able to land his plane safely with the help of the four legendary dragons, both he and Mokuba were reunited with Daisuke, Yami and the rest of the gang only to learn that someone had taken over Kaiba Corp. While the gang was working on finding a way to decode the images Prof. Hawkins found, Dartz was preparing the finishing touches on his plan, which involved unleashed the Orichalcos soldiers around the world, collecting souls to fuel the Great Leviathan. After joining up with Rebecca, Duke and a contingent of the Digidestined, it was decided that the gang would split up to do what was planned. One team would go with Yami and Kaiba to Kaiba Corp, the second team would try and locate the police, while the last team stayed behind to help Rebecca and Izzy hack into Kaiba Corp. After running into unwanted guests at Kaiba Corp, Yami, Kaiba and the others were able to access the central computer and learned that the person who was behind Kaiba Corp's takeover was none other than Dartz himself. While that was going on, Tea, Tristan and some of the Digidestined tried to warn the police of what was going on, only they were forced to run after learning the cops were under Dartz's control. After reuniting with the others, Daisuke, Joey, Tristan and some of the gang decided to head off and find Dartz themselves. Along the way, they ran into Valon who led them to an abandoned playground and was quick to challenge Daisuke to a duel, believing that Daisuke, Joey, and the others were responsible for Mai's misery. As always, Daisuke accepted the challenge only to find that Valon is able to combine with his cards like he was Iron Man. Can Daisuke find a way to take down Valon and his armor cards, or will this be the one duel she can't win? Let's find out.
"Here goes" Valon said as he drew a card and as he did that, Psychic Armor Head reappeared.
"What's Psychic Armor Head doing back here?" Daisuke asked.
"Psychic Armor Head automatically comes back to the field during the start of my turn. But that's not the only thing you need to worry about" Valon said, causing the gang to freeze in dread.
"Please tell you didn't draw..." Daisuke said with a lace of fear in her voice.
"I just did. I play the Seal of Orichalcos" Valon said as the Seal descended from the sky.
Elsewhere
Mai was sitting on her bike when she noticed something in the sky. "It's the Seal of Orichalcos and there's only person who's playing it" Mai said as she drove off. "He better leave a piece of Daisuke and Wheeler for me" Mai thought as she drove towards the location the gang was at.
Back at the duel
The Seal landed on the field and surrounded Daisuke and Valon.
"Now that's better" Valon said as the Seal appeared in his forehead.
"Oh, great. Now one of them is going to lose their soul" Matt said.
"I know Daisuke. She's not going to let that happen" Joey said.
"With the Seal of Orichalcos on the field, my Psychic Armor Head gets a nice power boost" Valon said.
(Psychic Armor Head: 0-500)
"But that's not all I play Full Armor Gravitation" Valon added.
"You're putting on another suit of armor, aren't you?" Daisuke asked.
"You catch on quick. Full Armor Gravitation allows me to draw up to 10 cards from my deck and if any of them are armor cards, I can play them right away. So, I summon Burning Knuckle" Valon said as a right arm appeared.
(Burning Knuckle: 0-500)
"Then I'll summon Jet Gauntlet, Over Boost, Active Guard, and Advance Shield" Valon said as more armor parts appeared. "And they get a nice power bonus as well" Valon said.
(Jet Gauntlet: 0-500)
(Over Boost: 0-500)
(Active Guard: 0-500)
(Advance Shield: 1000-1500)
Soon the parts all attached themselves to Valon.
"I'm invincible!" Valon exclaimed.
"You're nuts" Daisuke said and the others agreed.
"Now who should I attack?" Valon asked as he looked at Daisuke's monsters.
"What's the holdup?" Daisuke asked.
"Why the rush? Each piece of my armor is more powerful than the last" Valon said causing the others to gasp.
"Probability of destruction indicated by 99% of Marauding Captain by Burning Knuckle" A computerized voice said.
(Burning Knuckle: 500-1900)
"Perfect" Valon said as Burning Knuckle glowed, and he charged at Daisuke's monster and destroyed it, causing Daisuke to recoil from the attack.
(Daisuke: 2300)
"You, ok?" Tristan asked.
"I've been through a lot worse" Daisuke answered.
"Oh man, that was brutal" Joey said.
"And Daisuke only has one monster left" Kari said.
"Kaiba never designed Duel Monsters to look real" Daisuke said.
"One of the kickbacks of the Seal of Orichalcos. Every bit of pain is as real as the monsters that feel them. Soon, Mai will see as the pathetic nobody you truly are" Valon said.
"I don't think so and it's my move" Daisuke said as she drew a card. "I sacrifice Obnoxious Celtic Guardian in order to summon my Cyber-Tech Alligator" Daisuke announced as her elf warrior vanished and was replaced by a large bipedal alligator with red cybernetic wings on its back along with other cybernetic parts on various parts of its body. (Attk: 2500)
"Attack his Psychic Armor Head!" Daisuke commanded as her monster charged at Valon. However, Valon held up Burning Knuckle and it was destroyed instead.
(Valon: 1450)
"What just happened?" Daisuke asked.
"Whenever one of my armor pieces is targeted, I can move the attack to another piece" Valon said.
"That's not good" Veemon said.
"My turn" Valon said as he drew a card. "As you know, Burning Knuckle gets 200 points for every armor monster on the field" Valon said as Burning Knuckle glowed again.
(Burning Knuckle: 500-1700)
"It's still weaker than Daisuke's alligator" Lou pointed out. "You'll never learn" Valon said as he charged at Daisuke's monster and the two clashed fists and Burning Knuckle was destroyed.
(Valon: 1000)
"Told you, your metal arm was no match for Daisuke's monster" Joey said.
"I wouldn't be so sure. Take a look" Valon said as the gang saw Cyber-Tech Alligator on its knees.
(Cyber-Tech Alligator: 2500-800)
"What happened?" Tristan asked.
"When Burning Knuckle is destroyed, its attack points get deducted from the opposing monster's attack points" Valon said.
"Valon's down to 1000 life points. Daisuke can win this next turn" Rosa said.
"Don't be so sure. I'm sure Valon has more armor cards that can cause even more trouble. Be careful, Daisuke" Joey said as Daisuke drew a card.
"I play Neo the Magic Swordsman in attack mode" Daisuke announced as Neo appeared on the field. (Attk: 1700) "Attack his Over Boost!" Daisuke commanded as Neo charged at Valon.
"I use Psychic Armor Head's effect to move the attack to Advance Shield which has 1500 points" Valon said as he held up an armor part which was destroyed by Neo. "And even though my Cyber-Tech Alligator maybe weaker, he can still kick your ass. Attack his Jet Gauntlet!" Daisuke commanded as her monster charged at Valon who struck back, and they were both destroyed, the shockwave pushing Daisuke back to the edge of the Seal.
"Let me guess. Your Jet Gauntlet has a special ability" Daisuke said.
"You got that right. You see, Daisuke. I'm not such a bad guy" Valon said.
"That remains to be seen" Daisuke said.
"I got to you first, so that way Mai wouldn't put herself in danger again. As long as you, Wheeler and the rest of your playmates are still around, Mai will be obsessed with dueling you and I couldn't let that happen" Valon said.
"If you really care about Mai, you wouldn't let her play the Seal. That card carries an ancient evil magic that causes the person to play it go crazy. You know what happens if you lose, the Seal will get your soul" Daisuke said as Valon frowned.
"Are you finished yet? Because I'll tell you this, that card did more for Mai than any of you ever could" Valon said as he thought back to when he brought Mai to Dartz, to when Mai defeated Pegasus and took his soul. "Mai was so miserable, she said she wouldn't be able to move on unless she defeated you and Wheeler. Mai can't stand the sight of any of you and frankly, I can't either. And once I'm done, Wheeler's next along with your friends" Valon said.
"You won't get anywhere near my friends, because it's still my turn. And because you destroyed Cyber-Tech Alligator, you activated my facedown card, Card of Last Will" Daisuke said as her facedown card flipped up and activated. "This trap card lets me draw 5 new cards whenever my monster's attack points are lowered" Daisuke added as she drew 5 cards from her deck, and she smiled at what she drew. "I place one card facedown and end my turn" Daisuke said as a facedown card appeared.
"Let's hope Daisuke drew something good" Matt said.
"Let's cross our fingers" TK said as Valon drew a card.
"I play Buster Pyle" Valon said as a new armor piece appeared and attached itself to his right arm. (Attk: 0-500) "Time to crush your last monster" Valon said as he charged at Neo and destroyed it.
"Since your monster's weaker than mine, it must have a special ability" Daisuke said. "This is really giving me a headache" Daisuke thought.
"You got that right. Buster Pyle automatically destroys my opponent's monster on the field, regardless of points. Plus, it gives you 500 points worth of damage" Valon said.
(Daisuke: 1800)
"Next, I'll play the magic card, Data Brain. And I'll attach it to Psychic Armor Head" Valon said as a wing-shape device attach to the sides of his helmet. "I end my turn" Valon said.
"I'm not giving up just yet and it's my turn" Daisuke said as she drew a card and saw she drew the Crown of Asta. "Hey, Valon. If your armor cards are so powerful, can they stand up to this?" Daisuke asked as she showed her legendary dragon card.
Meanwhile
"We should be at Paradius Headquarters soon" Rebecca said.
"I don't like this. The streets are too quiet" Tai said.
"Me too. Something's wrong" Duke said when he saw something in the middle of the road that caused him to stop and everyone to fall over in the trailer.
"Where did Duke learn to drive? An amusement park?" Rebecca asked as everyone got out of the trailer.
"Duke, what's going on?" Joe asked.
"We've got company" Duke said as the gang turned to see an Orichalcos Soldier standing in the middle of the road.
"I think we should leave. Right now," Mimi said.
"That might be a problem" Jun said as everyone looked around to see more Orichalcos Soldiers on every side, surrounding them.
"If anyone's got a plan, please speak now" Tea said.
To Be Continued
Can Yami, Tea, Kaiba, Duke and the others find a way to get pass Dartz's Orichalcos Soldiers? Will Daisuke's legendary dragon Asta be enough to defeat Valon?' Find out next time.
A/N: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Digimon. Just Asta and her fusions cards. Enjoy the new chapter.
