Chapter 2: Its Time to Duel!

"The first duel will be between Joey Whiller and Brett Pinmintel." Austin said as Joey and Brett walked into the 0arena. "There will be no time limit, let the duel begin."

Each player drew 5 cards. 'Kuni with Chain, Time Wizard, Flaming Swordsman and Shield and Sword. All right, I got a nice starting hand.' "I play Flaming Swordsman in attack mode."

"Good move I guess," Brett said under his breath. "I play Judgeman in attack mode then one face down card. Judgeman destroy Flaming Swordsman." Joey's lifepoints went from 2000 to 1600.

Joey moaned and drew his next card. 'Baby Dragon... do I really want to use him? I have to... Don't I? I have no choice...' "I play Baby Dragon then Time Wizard! Time Wizard, Time Roulette!" Time Wizard didn't move at all he just started to fall. "WHAT?!" yelled Joey.

"I flip over my trap card. Trap hole. Say bye, bye to Time Wizard." Brett said. By now, Time Wizard was gone. "Now its my turn," he drew his next card. "I play 7 Colored Fish in attack mode."

'He has me on the run... Heart of the cards guide me.' Joey drew his card hoping it wouldn't be his last. "ALL RIGHT!" he jumped up in happiness. "Go Buster Blader!" A knight type monster appeared on the field with 26000 attack and 2300 defense. "Then, I use Shield and Sword switching the attack and defense. Now Buster Blader destroy 7 Colored Fish! Sword Destruction!" The monster rose his giant sword firing a beam right into the fish making Brett's life points go down to 500.

Brett gasped. 'Damn! That did too much!' He looked at his deck and drew his card. "I play Raigeki." A lighting bolt hit all of Joey's monsters turning them into dust. "All your hard work was for nothing. Also I play one magic card face down. Your turn," he grinned.

'How am I going to beat him?! He still has Judgeman, that 1 face down defense and that new magic card..' "I put one card face down and end my turn. Brett frowned. "I pass this turn." Joey drew his next card. "I play my face down card. Curse of Darkness. Lowering Judeman's attack by 700 and make it so he can't attack. Then I play Kaiser Seahorse to destroy Judgeman." Kaiser Seahorse raised his axe and chopped Judgeman in half making Brett's lifepoints go down to 300.

Brett did nothing but draw his card. "I use Reborn the Monster to bring back Buster Blader and destroy Kaiser Seahorse." Buster Blader destroyed Kaiser Seahorse, and Joey's life points dropped to 700. Joey drew his card. "I us Angel's Gift, it lets me draw the next three cards from my deck." 'Only one card can save me now... Battle Ox... Steel Scorpion...' His eyes narrowed on his deck. 'If I win this duel I have a chance to get those two cards, if I win this duel I could loose my card, if I loose this duel I get to keep it...' He drew his final card. "I play Kuni with Chain subtracting 500 from Buster Blader's attack power then I finish the duel with Red Eyes Black Dragon! Red Eyes, INFERNO FIRE BLAST!" The powerful dragon opened his mouth and fired a fireball burning Buster Blader making Brett's lifepoints drop down to zero. The crowd cheered and Joey signed in relief. Brett stay still, stunned.
