Disclaimer: I regret to inform all of my few readers that I still don't own
Yugioh or Pokemon. And, hehe, my chapter title's different than my
spoiler, but, so what?
CH 8 The Godly Rage of Ra
"So, where to next, Alicia?"
"Well, I guess the closest way to go is Mauville, so let's go."
"How do we get there?"
"We just go through the Rusturf Tunnel."
"But you remember, we hit a dead end. That's where we found Skull."
"Well, there has to be a way through. If it was blocked, do you know what chaos it would bring? That passage is a huge waypoint between here and Mauville."
"I guess I don't really see any chaos. Let's go."
"Wait. You're just going to go to the next place before obtaining Ra from Alicia? I don't think you should!"
"You have a point, Soto."
"(thinking) Hmm. As he learns more about the ancient ways, he also seems to get more evil, as well."
"Alicia! First, can we rest? I just got out of a tough match."
"Sure, I guess." The group stopped and sat down, in the middle of the street.
"What are we doing in the street?" Bakura asked, but everyone just looked at him.
"Alicia, why don't you have a DUEL with someone?"
"Oh, okay. Who'll take me on?"
"I will." Everyone was surprised as Sydney stood up and accepted.
"Well, I've never seen your deck, so it'll be fun."
"Let's duel!"
"First, I play one card in defense mode." Alicia started. "I also play one face down. Attack if you dare!" "Yeah, sure. Amazoness Fighter in Attack mode!" (4*) (1300/1300) (All battle damage to this card's controller that he/she takes from a battle involving this monster becomes 0.)
"To bad she won't be on the field long enough to engage in battle! Trap Hole (If the ATK of a monster Summoned by your opponent is 1000 points or more, the monster is destroyed.) Activate!
"No, my Amazoness!"
"Yes, and now it's my turn!"
"Who says?" Sydney pulled a card from her hand. "Swords of Revealing Light!" (Counting from your opponent's turn, none of your opponent's monsters can attack for 3 turns of his/her own. When this card is activated, opponent's face-down monsters at that time are turned face-up, but remain in defense position. Any effects the monsters may have are immediately activated.)
"No, my monster is revealed! Wait! Their effects are activated! Yes! Go Cyber Jar!"
"Hmm. Alicia, you fool. That'll help ME! I summon three monsters! All in Attack mode! 1st: Amazoness Paladin (4*) (1700/300) (Increase the Attack of this of this monster by 100 points for each monster on your side of the field that includes "Amazoness" in its card name, or is named "Amazon Archer.), 2nd: Amazon Archer (4*) (1400/1000) (Offer 2 monsters on your side of the field as a tribute to inflict 1200 points of direct damage to your opponent's Life Points. Monsters used for a Tribute Summon or that are offered as Tributes due to other cards' effects are excluded.) 3rd: Amazoness Chain Master (4*) (1500/1400) (When this monster is sent from the field to your graveyard by your own card effect, you may look through your opponent's deck, and add one to your hand. Your opponent's deck is then shuffled. Your opponent may not see the card.)
"And I summon four! All in Defense mode!"
"Now, It's my turn. I Ra, I mean draw, and let's see, I sacrifice my Harpie Lady, and Summon my Double Puppet Team! (5*) (1600/1400) (When you sacrifice this monster as a Tribute for a Tribute Summon, this monster counts as two tributes. When you sacrifice this monster, its ATK is doubled before it is sacrificed. It is then removed from play. You may not Tribute this Monster for any other card effect that requires a Tribute.) I then play Nightmares Steel Cage! (Normal Spell Card) (This card stays on the field until the end of your second turn after playing this card. Until then, no player can attack with their monsters.)
"Is that all? My turn! "My Tribute to the Doomed Spell card should do it! (Discard one card from your hand to the Graveyard to destroy 1 Monster card on the field (regardless of position).)"
"No! Not my Puppet(s)!"
"Exactly! No! Not your Puppet(s)! I'm using it on -"
"Amazon Chain Master! No! (thinking) She'll take The Winged Dragon of Ra!)
(Soto thinking) "No! She'll take the Winged Dragon!"
(DJ thinking) "No! Alicia won't be able to summon it, which means she won't be proven unworthy, and I won't get it!"
"That's right! Buh - Bye Amazon Chain Master, hello, Ahh!! It can't be! This is - the winner I need! But how'd she get it? Doesn't matter! Now, I control The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
(Soto thinking) "That's what you think!"
"Now I play Change of Heart on your Puppet thingy!"
"No! Now she can Summon it to defeat me!"
"Damn straight!" Now I sacrifice Amazoness Paladin, and the Puppet dudes to Summon, The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
(Soto thinking) "All this will prove is that Sydney cannot control Ra!"
"Wow, I don't even know how it works, hmm. Um? Does anyone know?"
"Yeah, I don't even know. DJ? Do "you" know how it works?" Alicia was referring to him and Soto.
"Yes, somehow I do. The Winged Dragon of Ra's ATK strength is equal to the added strength of the Monsters sacrificed."
"Excellent. Thanks to your stupid Puppet team, Ra has 1600 extra Atk! Plus the 1800 and 1600 from my Amazoness Paladin, and your one Puppet! Whoa! I've never had a monster of such power! 5000 Atk. Strength!" The sky suddenly darkened. A bright golden glow shone from the clouds, and from behind Sydney arose a great fiery phoenix. It wasn't solid at all. It was waving and hovering. It roared, and blew flames that weren't real. People walking in the city looked at the Winged Dragon, and like Slifer, they thought it was some sort of legendary Pokemon. They gasped and ran in fear.
"The Winged Dragon of Ra! Attack Alicia's Monster, now!" The phoenix stood its ground and looked at Sydney. It opened its gaping mouth and shot fire at Sydney, who was now standing. "NO!!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!" The fire reached Sydney, and she flinched, but looked up, engulfed in fake fire. It turned to the others, and shot at them, too. They all just stared at Ra, or were jumping up and down in the fire that wasn't hot.
"I must stop this, Soto! What do I do? Wait! I- Ahh! Somehow, I know!"
(Soto thinking) "If this pathetic child gains much more knowledge, he'll be able to claim my destiny as his own!"
DJ stood up and stared Ra in the face. "Spirits Sing of a powerful creature that rules over all that is mystic! The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
"What is DJ doing?" The Winged Dragon stopped its rampage, and disappeared. The card glowed, and floated to DJ's hand. He took the card slowly, and stared at it.
"DJ, you can keep it. If Sydney couldn't use it, I don't think I could.
"Thanks, Alicia, I'll take good care of it!"
"Now do you understand, DJ?"
"What, Soto? That I have to recite the text on the card to use it?"
"Not just that, but you must either know or have connections with the ancient ways of the Egyptians."
"Oh, well, I guess I qualify, then."
"I suggest you start on that deck specializing in God card you've just obtained."
"Don't worry. I have the perfect idea to power and enhance the Winged Dragon's Secret abilities. I also plan to put both of the Gods into my deck."
"Smart move. I also have a feeling that we near the final Egyptian God card, Obelisk the Tormentor."
Whew! That was cool! Three updates in one weekend! CCCOOOOOOLLL!!!
