The Queen of Games

Waking the Dragons

Chapter 29: Armor Mayhem- Part III

Previously on The Queen of Games, Daisuke faced off Valon in a duel for Mai's soul. While most of his cards had O attack points, Valon was able to use them to combine with himself, which almost felt like he was doing the fighting instead of his monsters. Valon's armor cards were armed with abilities that were giving Daisuke a major headache. But hope came when she drew the Crown of Asta. Elsewhere, the gang along with the Kaiba Brothers were surrounded by Orichalcos Soldiers. How are they going to get out of this? Let's watch.

"It's time to turn this duel around, but first thing's first. I play Magician's Call; this lets me summon a summon a spellcasting monster as long as it has the word "Magician" in its name, and I choose Dark Magician Girl" Daisuke said as her favorite monster appeared with a laugh. (Attk: 2000) "Next, I play Monster Reborn to bring back Cyber-Tech Alligator" Daisuke as the cyborg alligator reappeared with a roar. (Attk: 2500) "And now, I play the Crown of Asta" Daisuke said as the legendary dragon appeared with a mighty roar.

"I've been waiting this whole duel for this moment. Finally, a true test of strength" Valon said.

Elsewhere

Yami and Kaiba's decks were glowing, and they took out their dragon cards.

"What's going on?" Kaiba asked.

"Timaeus is glowing. That means Daisuke is playing her dragon right now" Yami said.

"Then we need to find her and the others before it's too late" Jun said.

"First we need to get pass these guys" Duke said as he took out his duel disk.

"That won't be a problem" Kaiba said as he activated his duel disk. Yami, Jun, Duke, and Rebecca followed his example.

"I play Blue Eyes White Dragon" Kaiba said as his signature monster appeared.

"I play Orgoth the Relentless" Duke said as the large warrior appeared with a bellow.

"I play Greymon" Jun said as the dinosaur appeared with a roar.

"I play Luster Dragon #2" Rebecca said as the large green dragon appeared with a roar.

"I play Dark Magician" Yami said as the purple robed magician appeared.

"Attack" All 5 shouted and the monsters charged at the Orichalcos Soldiers.

Back at the duel

"Now I'll combine Asta with Dark Magician Girl and Cyber-Tech Alligator to create a new monster" Daisuke said as a bright light consumed her 3 monsters. "Now meet Cyber-Tech Magician Girl" Daisuke said as the light died down and Asta appeared, but her skin resembled Cyber-Tech Alligator's and she had one normal wing and one red cybernetic wing. She even had other cybernetic parts on various points of her body and perch on her back was Dark Magician Girl who was wearing a red cybernetic suit. (Attk: 2800)

"Awesome" Tristan said.

"2800 points have to be more than enough than to wipe out Valon's life points" Joey said.

"Let's hope so" Kari said.

"My new monster's ability allows me destroy every single monster on my opponent's side of the field as long as I discard 2 cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard" Daisuke said as she drew 2 cards from her deck and discarded them and soon, her monster began to glow with power.

"All right, Cyber-Tech Magician Girl attack! Destroy Valon's suit of armor!" Daisuke commanded and Dark Magician Girl fired a blast of pink energy from her sword, while Asta fired a blast of blue energy from its mouth. The two attacks combine and struck Valon who yelled in pain. As the attack died down, everyone could see Valon was face down on the ground.

"Way to go, Daisuke" TK cheered.

"That's showing him" Michael added.

"Guys, why isn't the Seal going away?" Lou asked.

"You may have destroyed my armor, but you let loose it's devastating ability" Valon said as he stood up.

"What ability?" Joey asked.

"You'll see. Now watch as my Data Brain magic card activates" Valon said as his magic card scanned Excalibur.

"What's your magic card doing?" Daisuke asked.

"It's analyzing it's molecular structure, creating an exact copy of your card" Valon said as a duplicate of Excalibur appeared on his side of the field. "Now I call Psychic Armor Head back from the graveyard" Valon said as his helmet reappeared. (Attk: 0-500) "Next, I play another Burning Knuckle" Valon said as another futuristic arm appeared. (Attk: 0-900)

"Now I'm upgrading my armor with the weapon I got from you" Valon said as he took the sword in his hands and charged at Asta and sliced it across the neck, destroying it along with Dark Magician Girl who fell off the dragon and was shattered as well. The attack forced Daisuke to shield herself.

(Daisuke: 1400)

"Oh man. Now what's Daisuke going to do?" Maria asked.

"We can't give up on Daisuke. She can win this. She just needs to trust in herself and in her deck" Joey said as Daisuke drew a card.

"I play Sand Gambler in defense mode" Daisuke said as a man wearing a suit while flipping a few coins in the air appeared on the field. (Def: 1600)

"That monster can't stand up to my deck of armor. Now if you'll excuse me, it's my turn" Valon said as he drew a card. "I play Black Hole Shield" Valon announced as a new armored arm appeared. (Attk: 0-500)

"This gives Burning Knuckle another 200 points" Valon said.

(Burning Knuckle: 900-1100)

"Time to get rid of your monster" Valon said as he charged at Daisuke's monster only to be stopped by a barrier.

"I activated my face down card, Negate Attack. This stopped your attack for one turn" Daisuke said.

"You're just delaying the inevitable. There's no way you can win" Valon said.

"We'll just see. My move" Daisuke said as she drew a card and she smiled at she drew.

"What are you smiling about?" Valon asked.

"The card I just drew is going to take things to a new level. I play Red Eyes Transmigration. This ritual card lets me sacrifice up to 2 monsters as long as their power level equals 8 or more. Of course, I need a certain monster in order for my ritual to work, so I'll sacrifice my Red Eyes Black Dragon and Sand Gambler to do just that" Daisuke said.

"But your dragon isn't even on the field" Valon pointed out.

"But he's in my hand" Daisuke said showing her card to Valon. "Now I sacrifice my Red Eyes Black Dragon and Sand Gambler in order to play Lord of the Red" Daisuke said as Sand Gambler vanished, and her Red Eyes Black Dragon appeared with a roar before it vanished too. Soon, Daisuke was engulfed in blue fire and soon the fire died down and Daisuke was decked out in a suit of armor that looked similar to her dragon. (Attk: 2400)

"Oh yeah, baby. How do you like me now?" Daisuke asked as she did a pose.

"What the..." Valon trailed off.

"Way to go, Daisuke!" Joey cheered.

"Kick his ass!" Tristan cheered.

"You got it" Daisuke said as she charged at Valon.

"I sacrifice Black Hole Shield to stop your attack" Valon said as he held up his arm and Daisuke destroyed it.

(Burning Knuckle: 1100-900)

"I thought for sure I had him. It's like every time I tried to get ahead of Valon, he pulls out a last-minute save" Daisuke said as she noticed she was getting tired. "This duel's taking a lot out of me, I need to be careful, or I might push myself past my limits.

"You put up quite a fight, Daisuke" Valon said.

"Thanks, but I'm doing this to save my friends" Daisuke said as everyone turned to see Mai pull up on her motorcycle.

"Oh great, just what we don't need" Veemon said.

"Should we try and stop her from interfering with the duel?" Maria asked.

"Even if we could, there's no way to do that. Remember Mai's still under Dartz's control, so trying to get through to her won't be easy" Joey said.

"Is there a way to reach Mai?" Patamon asked.

"There's one way to get through to Mai and that's to duel her" Joey said.

"Joey, you can't be serious. You saw what happened at Industrial Illusions" Tristan pointed out.

"I know, but after watching Daisuke's duel with Mai, I'm positive I can beat her" Joey said.

"How about we let Daisuke finish her duel with Valon, then we can worry about Mai?" Lou asked.

"Sounds like a good idea" Matt said.

"Hey Mai. You're missing a great duel" Valon called out.

"You stupid idiot! What do you think you're doing? We had an agreement. Daisuke and Wheeler are mine" Mai said in anger.

"I'm having too much fun to stop now" Valon said.

"My turn's done" Daisuke said.

"My move" Valon said as he drew a card from his deck. "I placed one card and then I'll play Monster Reborn to bring back Buster Pyle" Valon said as his armored arm reappeared. (Attk: 0-500)

(Burning Knuckle: 900-1100)

"Here comes the last attack of the duel" Valon said as he charged towards Daisuke.

"I wouldn't be so sure. Lord of the Red has a special ability. Once per turn, I can choose to destroy one monster whenever a magic card is played during either player's turn. And you played Monster Reborn which is a magic card, I can choose a monster to destroy, and I pick Buster Pyle" Daisuke said as she blocked the attack, and she launched her fist and destroyed Buster Pyle and sent Valon back to his side of the field.

"Nice one, Daisuke" Kari cheered.

"Keep it up" Gatomon cheered.

"You're taking him to the cleaners" Maria said.

"All right. This is just the duel I always wanted. So, let's finish it." Valon said.

"Oh, trust me. We will" Daisuke said as she drew a card from her deck. "I place one card face down" Daisuke said as a face down card appeared. "Here comes my attack!" Daisuke shouted as she charged at Valon.

"I reveal my facedown card, Extinction Fist. This cancels out any ritual monster's attack and returns the monsters you used to summoned it to your hand" Valon said.

"Nice try, but I reveal my facedown card, Dust Tornado. This lets me destroy one magic or trap card on the field, and I know which card to choose" Daisuke said a tornado blew through the field and destroyed Valon's trap card.

"This can't be" Valon said in shock.

"Oh, it is" Daisuke said as she punched Valon in the gut, causing him to drop onto his knees.

(Valon: 200)

"One more attack and Valon's done" Tristan said.

"I can't believe Daisuke was able to stand up to Valon's cards. But it won't matter because once this duel's over, Daisuke will be worn out, giving me the opportunity to take her title. Soon, Daisuke will nothing but a footnote on my way to the top, and once she's gone, Wheeler's next" Mai thought as she looked on at the duel.

Elsewhere

Yami, Kaiba, Jun, Duke, and Rebecca were making quick work of Dartz's soldiers, but a couple snuck past them, and one was about to grab Mokuba, but Tai stepped in.

"Let's go, Agumon" Tai said.

"You go it" Agumon said as Tai took his Digivice out.

"Agumon digivolve to...Greymon"

"Nova Blast!" Greymon shouted as he fired a fireball at the Orichalcos Soldier and destroyed it.

Another Orichalcos Solider was about to grab Tea, but Ken came to her rescue.

"Wormmon digivolve to...Stingmon!"

"Spiking Strike" Stingmon said as a purple energy stinger came out of his right arm, and he charged at the Orichalcos Soldier and destroyed it. Soon, the streets became quiet again.

"Well, that takes care of those creeps" Yolei said.

"Now we just need to figure out where Daisuke and the others are" Ken said.

"There is one way" Mokuba said.

"What is it, Mokuba?" Tea asked.

"I think I know. Remember when Battle City first started? Kaiba said every duel disk has a built-in homing beacon that lets you track down the duelist wearing it no matter where they are" Rebecca said.

"We can track Daisuke and the others though Kaiba Corp's satellite system" Izzy said.

"I'll help" Mokuba said as he went with Izzy and Rebecca into the trailer as Yami looked at the Eye of Timaeus.

"What's wrong?" Tai said.

"Timaeus isn't glowing anymore. I fear Daisuke's dragon may have been destroyed" Yami answered.

"We can't think like that. I know Daisuke and she's not one to go down without a fight" Ken said.

"Ken's right, and Daisuke's got Joey and Tristan with her. And they're not going to let anything happen to her" Jun added.

"You're right. I just hope we're not too late" Yami said.

To Be Continued

Can Yami and the others track, Daisuke, Joey, Tristan before her duel ends? The conclusion of the duel is coming up. So, don't miss it.

A/N: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or Digimon. Just Asta and her fusion components.
