Chapter 5: The Dragons of Super Arc
Ramsey and Michael continued to wander through Area 3, which was an area with a crap load of hills. The continued over one of the hills to see the three head of the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, someone was obviously dueling.
"Now Ultimate Dragon, attack his Slate Warrior and knock out his life points!" The duelist said in a ruthless manner as the dragon reared its three heads back and delivered the famous Neutron Blast to the helpless Slate Warrior.
"Aww man!" The duelist said. "I almost had you too. If it wasn't for that stupid End of Darkness card that you kept pulling I would have won this!"
"What do you mean you almost had me!?" The winning duelist said. "You barely even scratched my Life Points! Now take your Beatdown deck and get out of here so I can continue to knock duelists like you off the Island."
"Sounds like that guy doesn't like Beatdowns." Michael said. "Let's see if he likes facing a Discard deck."
Michael and Ramsey went down the hill to catch the duelist before he left.
"Hey you!" Michael yelled.
"Yes?" The duelist said as he stopped and turned around.
"How about a duel." Michael asked.
"Ok. Sounds good to me." The duelist replied. "Oh, by the way. I'd rather you not call me by my real name so just call me Super Arc."
Super Arc- 8000 Michael- 8000
"Ok then, I'm first I guess." Super Arc said. "And I'll start with the Field Card Heaven. Next I will play Dunames Dark Witch (1800/1050) in attack mode, set one M/T face down and end my turn."
"I play Gravekeeper's Servant. Now every time you attack you must discard one card from the top of your deck. Next I will set one monster face down and end my turn."
"Oooh." Super Arc said. "A discard deck, finally something new. All I've seen all day is Beatdown, Beatdown, Beatdown. Nothing else."
"I take it you don't like Beatdowns." Michael said.
"Nope." Super Arc replied. "So it's my turn is it? I'll summon Ancient Elf (1450/1200) in attack mode to attack your face down card."
"You destroyed Needle Worm." Michael said. "So that with Gravekeeper's Servant totals six cards of the top of your deck."
"No matter." Super Arc said. "But 2300 of your Life Points are gone courtesy of Dunames Dark Witch."
Super Arc- 8000 Michael- 5700
"I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) and set a M/T card face down. My turns over."
"Heh." Super Arc said as he drew his card. "You know my deck is designed to destroy Dark Attribute monsters. But with all the Earth Attribute monsters in your Discard Deck, I have to find an alternate way to level your monsters."
"I guess that puts you in a bind." Michael said.
"Not quite." Super Arc said. "Let me show you. I play Scroll of Bewitchment."
"What does that do?" Michael asked.
"It's the Attribute version of DNA Surgery. In the form of an Equipment Magic Card." Super Arc answered.
"Go on." Michael said.
"It allows me to change the Attribute of one of your monsters. In this case your Magnet Warrior." Super Arc continued. "So I will change it to the Attribute of Dark, allowing me to play this magic card, End of Darkness. It lowers your Magnet Warrior's attack power to 0 for this turn."
"Ok." Michael said.
"And now I tribute Dunames Dark Witch and Ancient Elf for my favorite monster, The Angel Knight (3500/3200). Sure I lose the top card off of my deck but I deal you 4000 points of damage in the process."
Super Arc- 8000 Michael- 1700
"Whoa." Michael thought. "This guy is tough. How am I supposed to take out his Angel Knight? On my next turn it doesn't matter what I lay down he will still wipe out my Life Points. This entire duel all depends on the next card that I draw."
Michael reached over to his disk and grabbed the top card of his deck. He looked at the card and his eyes went wide open in complete shock, it was the card that he needed.
"I play Dark Hole." Michael said as a giant black vortex swallowed the Angel Knight whole. "Then I set one monster and end my turn."
"Heh, I will just bring my Angel Knight back with Monster Reborn."
"Not so fast Super Arc." Michael said. "Have forgotten about my face down M/T card."
"What card?" Super Arc asked.
"Call of the Dark! It destroys all monsters revived by Monster Reborn and also prevents it from being played." Michael answered.
"So what, I have an alternate way to destroy you." Super Arc said. I play Polymersation and fuse all the Blue Eyes White Dragons in my hand to create the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800) and because of my field card Heaven his attack power boosts to 5000! Now Ultimate Dragon attack the face down card!"
"Reveal my Morphing Jar, discard your hand and get a new one." Michael said. "And its my turn now, right. So I will play Change of Heart and take your Ultimate Dragon and attack you with it. Next I will set another monster face down and end my turn."
Super Arc- 3000 Michael- 1700
"Huh." Super Arc said and paused for a minute. "I can't do anything with my present hand so I will attack your face down card with my Ultimate Dragon."
"You destroyed the second of my Needle Worms." Michael said. "So that is another six cards total to your graveyard."
"Fine." Super Arc said. "Your turn."
"Ok. I set one monster and end my turn." Michael said.
"I'm going to end this now." Super Arc said as he drew his card. "I play my own Change of Heart and take your face down monster. Next I will tribute it for Gyakutenno Megami (1800/2000)."
"Oh crap." Michael thought.
"Now Ultimate Dragon att." Super Arc was interrupted and the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon stopped right in the middle of rearing its head back for the final blow.
"Hold it right there!" A man said from behind Super Arc.
"What do you want!?" Super Arc said.
"I'm the guy you just beat ten minutes ago." The man said.
"Oh the dork with the Beatdown." Super Arc said.
"Yeah well you know what you may have beat me but I'm taking you off the Island with me!" The man said.
"Might I ask how?" Super Arc asked.
"Well I can't beat you in a duel so I will just get you disqualified." The man said as he ran up to Super Arc and grabbed the remainder of his deck.
"Hey that's my deck ***hole!" Super Arc said as he shut his duel disk off and began to chase the thief.
"We'll have to continue this some other time!" Super Arc said to Michael as he continued to chase the thief.
As Super Arc ran off Ramsey looked at his half open backpack and saw a golden object simmering in the light.
"You know who that was?" Ramsey asked.
"No, who?" Michael asked him back.
"That was Craig." Ramsey answered.
"Jacob Champion's friend Craig?" Michael asked.
"Yep." Ramsey replied. "That means Champion is on the Island."
The two walked off and began to chat about that last duel as a camera watched on.
"Aww." Sennen said. "Its over al ready! Man that was pretty explosive."
"Should I notify the Elimination Collectors sir?" The guard said. "So we can get rid of that little thief and Super Arc."
"Why Super Arc." Milell asked.
"He turned off his disk in the middle of a duel." The guard said. "He's disqualified."
"Someone came up to him and stole the remainder of his deck." Milell replied. "He shouldn't be disqualified. Besides he has something that I want."
"I see." The guard said. "Well what do we do about Keya and Sunter?"
"Lets have a little fun." Milell said. "Let's send Mr. Sortras after them. And give him a regular dueling disk. I don't want him getting thrown off the Island either."
"Yes Sir." The Guard said.
Area 1, the Forest Area: Day 2
Cameras were everywhere. Watching every duel that started and every duel that ended. On the other side of the camera, a bored Milell Sennen watched on as he checked his elimination chart.
"Whoa!" Milell yelled. "That many duelists already! We started with 10,000 and already we're down to 5,000! Get me the intercom thingamajiger."
"Yes Sir." The Guard said as he handed Milell the Intercom.
"Attention Duelists." Milell said as he caught everyone's attention. "Because of the recent drop in our participants I'm limiting each duelist to two duels per day and I am shortening the deadline to day seven of the tournament. This is all effective immediately thank you for your time."
"Well done Sir." The Guard said.
"Quiet you!" Milell yelled back. "Now. Let's check on Mr. Sotras right now, see where he is."
"Uhhh, He is currently in Area 1 sir the forest area." The Guard answered. "And Keya and Sunter are in Area 1 as well."
"Good." Milell said. "Now maybe we will show Mr. Keya exactly what it means to have a Centennial Item."
"SIR!" Another Guard yelled as he ran into the room.
"What is it?" Milell asked.
"Dimone Sotras has been stopped in his tracks by another duelist. And your not going to like who it is." The Guard answered.
"Bring up camera twelve." Milell said as the screen lit up and his eyes opened wide up. "WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE!?"
"He came on the plane and was in disguise." The Guard answered. "He hasn't made himself know present until just now."
"Err. Have Sotras deal with him." Milell said and began to think as he looked at the figure on the camera. "Dammit Vaughn. You're always screwing everything up."
Back in the forest area Richard Vaughn was staring down Dimone Sotras and Sotras was staring back.
"I have orders from Master Milell to defeat you and move on to Keya and Sunter." Dimone said with his what appeared to be robotic voice.
"Your just Milell's mind slave." Vaughn said. "Nothing more. And as long as you are under Milell's control, you do not deserve my mercy!"
Ramsey and Michael continued to wander through Area 3, which was an area with a crap load of hills. The continued over one of the hills to see the three head of the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, someone was obviously dueling.
