Chapter 7: The Gate is Guarded
The Caves: Three days until finals
"We've been going down this corridor for hours." Michael said. "When does it stop?"
"I have no idea." Ramsey answered. "This corridor gets darker the farther we go."
Ramsey and Michael continued on for about ten minutes when Ramsey walked straight into a huge wooden door.
"Ow." Ramsey said rubbing his face. "Help me open this Michael."
Ramsey and Michael opened the door and entered a huge room with an old fashioned Dueling Arena in the center. On the other side of the field were a couple of doors.
"One of those doors must lead outside." Michael said.
"Well let's get out of here." Ramsey said as he and Michael walked a bit forward but stopped when the door behind them shut.
Then a couple of figures jamp out of nowhere in a summersault fashion. One was dressed in orange, the other was dressed in green. They stopped on the ground in a stance and began to speak:
"You have entered sacred grounds, Where only Duelists can be found. Before you pass across this chamber, You must agree to face the danger. So let the contest now begin, Notify your next of kin. You're trapped and all the doors are locked, You face the brothers Paradox! If by some crazy fluke you manage to win, Why then the puzzling new test shall begin. For over my shoulder you see a door, And over my brothers you see one more. The test a choice that you must make, Which of these doors will you take?"
"Oh great dancing old guys." Ramsey said. "What next?"
"We may be getting on in years." Para began.
"But we still pack a punch that will bring you to tears." Dox continued.
"I take it you want to duel." Michael said.
"You are correct." Para said.
"So take off those Dueling Bracelets and join us on the field." Dox said.
The stage lit up and a huge labyrinth field emerged from the ground.
"What the hell is that?" Ramsey asked.
"It is the Labyrinth Field." Dox said. "We the Paradox Brothers are famous for this kind of match."
"Then how come we've never heard of you?" Michael asked.
"You just keep your mind on the duel punk!" Dox yelled. "Oh and just a reminder in Labyrinth rules only one player of a team has to be eliminated to win the duel."
Para- 8000 Michael- 8000 Dox- 8000 Ramsey- 8000
"I think it is obvious that I go first." Para began. "And I will summon Cannon Soldier and have him advance four spaces into the maze. Your move punk."
"Uhhh." Michael thought. "They're probably gonna call me that the entire match." "I'll set a monster and a M/T face down."
"You waste your turn punk." Dox said. "I play Polymersation and fuse Para's Cannon Soldier with my Giga Tech Wolf to create Labyrinth Tank (2400/2400) and have it advance seven spaces. Now I will summon Gemini Elf (1900/900) and keep her here at the entrance."
"Looks like their pulling the stops out already." Ramsey thought as he drew his card. "I summon Vorse Raider (1900/1200) and have him advance four spaces."
"Back to me than." Para said. "I will play Monster Reborn to revive my Cannon Solder, and I will summon Shadow Ghoul (1600/1300) and I won't advance at all this turn. Back to you punk."
"Your gonna learn not to call me that." Michael said. "I play the card Wrath of Roulette."
"What does that do?" Dox asked.
"Watch the revolver. It will fire six times, once at each monster on the field." Michael began. "Five times it will click but the on that gets the bullet is destroyed."
The gun pointed at Michael's face down card. (Click) It pointed at Dox's Labyrinth Tank. (Click) It pointed at Dox's Gemini Elf. (BANG!)
"No! My Gemini Elf!" Dox yelled. "You'll pay for that punk!"
"Well now is your opportunity because my turn is over." Michael said.
"I will use my Monster Reborn to revive my Gemini Elf and summon my Giga Tech Wolf (1200/1400). Now I will have Labyrinth Tank advance seven more spaces. Watch out Ramsey because my Labyrinth Tank only has to advance two more times to get to your Vorse Raider."
"Like I told Tragic, lets focus on the here and now. Because my Vorse Raider isn't going in unarmed. I'm giving him a Sword of Dark Destruction raising his attack power by 400. Now I will have him advance four more spaces." Ramsey said.
"Your Vorse Raider still is no match for my Tank. He's still 100 attack points lower." Dox replied.
"Just watch. I set this M/T card face down and end my turn." Ramsey said.
"Ha!" Para said as he looked at the card he drew. "I tribute my Cannon Soldier and Shadow Ghoul to set this monster face down. Your turn punk."
"Stop calling me that!" Michael yelled as Para and Dox began to laugh. "Fine I'll show you what a punk can do. I play Gravekeeper's Servant. Now every time you attack you lose one card off the top of your deck. Next I will summon Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (1800/700) and have him advance four spaces. My turns over."
"I will have Labyrinth Tank advance seven more spaces. Now I will tribute Gemini Elf and Giga Tech Wolf to set this card face down." Dox said. "You'd better do something fast Keya. My Tank is just four spaces away from you Vorse Raider. My turn is over."
"I will." Ramsey said. "I play yet another Sword of Dark Destruction raising Vorse Raider's attack by 400 more points. Now Vorse Raider, advance four spaces and give that Labyrinth Tank what it has coming to it!"
"NO!!" Dox yelled as the beast charged and slashed the giant machine down the middle with its two red bladed swords.
Para- 8000 Michael- 8000 Dox- 7700 Ramsey- 8000
"Err." Dox said as he grinded his old and probably false teeth. "We'll get you."
"Dox! I've drawn him!" Para yelled to his brother. "Now we only need to get him on the field and these two will be finished!"
"What are you two flappin' your old yaps about?" Ramsey asked.
"Oh nothing." Para said. "I'll set a monster face down and end my turn."
"Hm." Michael said. "Kycoo advance four more spaces. My turn is over."
"I summon Jirai Gumo (2200/100) and stay put once again." Dox said.
"I summon another Vorse Raider and send him four spaces into the maze and move my other Vorse Raider another four spaces thus ending my turn."
"Yes! I've drawn the final card that will lead you to your down fall!" Para yelled. "I play Change of Heart and take the Vorse Raider that is the farthest into the maze and tribute it and my face down card for Sanga of Thunder (2600/2200). And now I tribute it my face down Suijin and Dox's face down Kazejin to summon the strongest monster you will ever see!"
"Oh great." Ramsey said.
"Gods of thunder, water, and wind. Sanga, Suijin, and Kazejin. Combined they make the ultimate force, the Gate Guardian! (3750/3400)" Para and Dox shouted in unison.
"Look at the attack points on that thing!" Ramsey yelled. "We don't have anything in our decks that can beat that."
"Now to finish off my turn I will send the massive Gate Guardian into the maze eleven spaces and play this M/T card face down." Para said.
"I've got your poison right here idiot brothers!" Michael yelled as he drew and looked at his card. "Raigeki. Anybody that doesn't know what this does, is an utter moron."
The huge lightning bolts went towards all of Para and Dox's monsters but all stopped in their tracks as a huge unusual skeleton emerged in front of them.
"You activated my trap, Anti-Raigeki!" Para yelled. "It destroys all of your monsters in stead of ours."
The lightning bolts were redirected at Ramsey and Michael's monsters and their field was emptied in an instant.
"I will set one monster face down and finish my turn." Michael said.
"I will summon another Jirai Gumo and send it into the maze four spaces." Dox began. "Next I will play one M/T face down and end my turn."
Ramsey just stood their thinking. He looked up at the massive Gate Guardian and knew that it only had to advance two more times to get to his and Michael's side of the field. He drew his card. "I play Swords of Revealing Light keeping your monsters from moving or attacking for three turns. My turn is over."
"I play Harpies Feather Duster getting rid of all you magic or trap cards." Para began. "Next I will set this monster face down and have Gate Guardian advance eleven more spaces. Your turn punk."
"I will play another Gravekeeper's Servant to replace the one I lost and flip my Needle Worm (750/600), its effect takes the top five cards off of both of your decks. Now I will set one more monster and a M/T face down and end my turn."
"I will have Jirai Gumo advance to where my other is waiting, and end my turn." Dox said.
Ramsey drew his card. "Finally." He said in relief. "I play Polymersation and fuse my Dark Magician and Buster Blader for Black Paladin (2900/2400). Now I play Change of Heart and use it on Dox's Jirai Gumo. It doesn't matter which one I choose they are going to kill each other anyways."
The two giant red spiders raised their sharp legs and stabbed each other to death. But then a Kazejin materialized on Dox's side of the field.
"You may have taken out my two Jirai Gumos but you activated my trap card Call of the Haunted and I used it to bring back my Kazejin (2400/2200). Now I'm one step closer to bringing another of our six Gate Guardians to the field."
"Yes and now it's my turn." Para said. "And I will start by drawing and having the Gate Guardian advance eleven more spaces and out on to your side of the field. Now I set one monster face down and have Gate Guardian attack. But which of you to attack, well Ramsey does have the more powerful monster but Michael also has a very weak monster in attack position. So the attack goes to Needle Worm!"
"Not this turn Para." Michael said. "You activated Negate Attack. So my Needle Worm and my Life Points are safe from you this turn."
"You punk!" Para said. "Oh well, it doesn't matter because Gate Guardian is on your side of the field and once I empty your field you will be destroyed."
"I'll take that as the Q to start my turn." Michael said as he drew his card. "And it will be the destruction of your Gate Guardian."
"How?" Para asked.
"With this card." Michael said as he held it up. "Catapult Turtle!"
"But that monster requires a tribute." Dox said.
"That's where Needle Worm comes in dumb ass." Michael said. "I tribute Needle Worm for Catapult Turtle (1000/2000)."
"I still don't see how you're going to destroy Gate Guardian with that card." Para said.
"Well that's why I play Change of Heart and take your Gate Guardian and use it for Catapult Turtle's effect. Which lets me sacrifice one monster on my side of the field and inflict half of his attack as life point damage to you Para."
"NO!!" Para yelled as the Gate Guardian was loaded onto the Catapult Turtle and launched at Para.
Para- 6125 Michael- 8000 Dox- 7700 Ramsey- 8000
"There's one Gate Guardian down but they said that they have six total." Ramsey thought. "Oh well. We'll just have to play this out."
"Now it's my turn." Dox yelled. "And I set one monster face down and end my turn."
Ramsey drew. "I play Tremendous Fire and inflict 500 damage on myself but 1000 points of damage on you in the process Para. Now I summon my final Vorse Raider (1900/1200) play one card face down and end my turn."
Para- 5125 Michael- 8000 Dox- 7700 Ramsey- 7500
"My turn." Para said. "And I play one monster face down and end my turn."
"I'll set a monster face down." Michael said. "My turns over."
"I'll set another monster face down." Dox said. "So Keya what surprise do you have for us this turn?"
"Nothing accept Dark Magic Curtain which will allow me to special summon a Dark Magician at the cost of half my life points." Ramsey said. "Now I will send my newly summoned Dark Magician into the maze seven spaces. Next I will finish off my turn by playing Meteor of Destruction and deal you another 1000 points of damage Para."
Para- 4125 Michael- 8000 Dox- 7700 Ramsey- 7500
"I will set another monster face down and play Premature Burial, pay 800 life points and revive my Sanga of the Thunder (2600/2200). My turns over." Para said.
Para- 3325 Michael- 8000 Dox- 7700 Ramsey- 7500
"Hold on Para, your face down card will now be flipped face up courtesy of Shadow of Eyes." Ramsey said, as the Giga Tech Wolf was flipped face up.
"So what, your turn punk." Para said.
"I will flip my second Needle Worm and have you take the top five cards off of the top of your deck. My turn is over."
"Here come destruction you little whipper snappers." Dox said.
"Wait a minute." Ramsey said as a laugh began to grow in him. "Did you just call us whipper snappers?"
"I guess." Dox stuttered.
Ramsey and Michael looked at Dox and then and each other and could not help but to laugh hysterically.
"Alright shut up it's time to get serious!" Dox yelled. "I tribute my two face down cards for Suijin (2500/2200) and tribute Sanga, Suijin and Kazejin for the second of our Gate Guardians (3750/3400). My turn is over."
"And it will be your last." Ramsey said as he looked at his newly drawn card. "I play Brain Control and take control of your Gate Guardian!"
"What! No!" Dox yelled.
"Now I play Fissure, destroying Para's Giga Tech Wolf and leaving him vulnerable to a direct attack that will win us this duel!" Ramsey yelled. "Gate Guardian, attack Para!"
Para was knocked on his ass by the force of the Gate Guardian wiping out his life points. Dox rushed over to help him up. Ramsey and Michael grabbed their decks and put their Dueling Bracelets back on.
"Now if you will please tell us the correct exit." Ramsey said.
"Exit through any door. It doesn't matter which they both lead outside." Para said as he got up and dusted himself off.
Ramsey and Michael opened the door and climbed the staircase that led outside. Upon exiting the tunnel Ramsey and Michael saw two figures in the suns glare. When they got closer the images became clearer. And once they reached the figures Ramsey was standing face to face with the person he hated most, Curenga.
