(Drode walks in with a large projection screen and projector. His bulging
eyes study the review mark on the fanfic, and smirks)
Drode: Just as I thought, no respect to veterans. Well, we'll just have to take care of that won't we? Roll film! (The lights dim as the projector starts up. It appears to be a tape of some sort, made by bad cameramen)
"HHHHEEEEEEELLLLP! Police! Militia! This is so not nice! He's touching my rear! AAAAAAAAH!!!!" came the shrill scream of a panicked girl in her teens, causing many to look up in alarm. However, seeing that she was not seen, they calmly went back to their business, not observing the three lanky man coming up the busy street, carrying two really noisy bags. They were dressed in the gangster-like fashion; white jackets, bandannas on their heads, baggy brown pants and dark sunglasses. These guys are trouble.
"Hey, Akai, could ya bop the onna for me? Her whining's giving me a headache and a half." One of the three said. The one called "Akai" nodded quietly, as he brought out a sock filled with something heavy from his pants and brought it down on the screaming sack. THUNK! The screams stopped.
"Te`a?" The other sack asked quietly, unaware of what just happened. There was no answer, and the three men walked across the crowded marketplace of Domino, uncaring of their helpless victims they kidnapped. Thankfully, someone noticed the wiggling of the other sack, a random police officer known as Sai, who was enlisted by Kaiba to keep the peace. Sai believed that those boys were carrying smuggled decks and dueling disks, seeing they looked like they had none of their own.
Unfortunately for him, one of the three had the hindsight to stay behind, seeing he carried no cargo. Sai calmly walked up, bypassing many curious pedestrians, and was about to order the two to stop and allow him to search the bags when he felt a metallic surface on his back. He stopped in mid-walk, starting to sweat because of what he just gotten into. Someone, or something had somehow got the drop on him, it could be a Yazuka or a gang member of some sort. Their kind were predators on easy policemen as himself, using their silent, but deadly weapons to make deaths look accidental.
"Turn, and I slit your throat. Draw your sword and I slice your spine. Try to look at me or recall my voice and I'll cause your liver to implode your system with it's poison, your choice." The voice was hissy, flat and emotionless, like a telemarketer with attitude problems. It was definitely a sword of some type, if it was a gun, the guy behind him would say stuff like blow your brains out.
"W-what do you want?" Sai stammered, for he was a bit of a coward when his opponent is ten times better. The sword drew back, the figure behind him grinned. Evilly.
"I want you to close your eyes and count to 10. Once you do that, I want you to forget about your job and go into the fishing trade, it's safer." The figure said, and Sai complied, closing his eyes. In seconds the person's presence was gone, and as soon as he opened his eyes, a girl was in front of him, smirking. But without bring out details, let's just say the cop learned how to fly into a wall. The girl smirked, and her guardian (who ko'ed him) reverted into a card, which she pocketed. No one noticed the entire incident, as they were used to mass chaos in their fair city.
(Drode turns off the projector and grins with a wicked smile, revealing dozens of carnivore teeth at the audience)
Drode: SH told me to eat any strangers who send bad decks to his account. (Eats a Final Saber plushie) No medabots, period. This is based on Toonami, not FOX family! (Gets whacked by a giant mallet)
Opening Song
Itsumade mo wasurenai Takusan no mono moratta ne Sora no iro utsushite hikaru aoi houseki ya
(The opening scene appears to be a happy meadow with dozens of authors, but after a few seconds, the sky becomes dark and flashes lightning)
koi no tachi hane mawaru hiroi ni wa ja nai motto motto daijina mono wo
(A pair of red eyes opens in the darkness as it launches a barrage of bolts, zapping several in their tracks. Two giant black hands reach down and snare some of the authors, silencing them permanently. However, a single card is launched and hit's one of the eyes, angering the beast. The person who threw it is none other than NocturneD, who holds his sword high for a battle to the death.)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(A shot of thousands of centipede-like creatures in combat with different authors. However, 6 streams of light shoot down from above and crash, revealing 6 very powerful cards that glow and transform. Six Authors are by each one, their faces are unseen because of their helmets.)
Yuuyake no sakamichi de Kataguruma shite moratta ne Warui koto shikarezu ni tada Kanashii me wo shita
(The authors point at the army, and the monsters glow as their respective energies combine into a giant energy ball and fires, killing every person in it's path. That over, the monsters glow purple and disappear, never to be unlocked again after the death they've caused.)
Tooi hibi utsusu kamera Dare no kokoro ni mo Kitto kitto aru hazu dakara (Screenshot of the present, with Yugi and the others laughing. A battle in the sky between two legendary birds that rain down fire and ice on the ground. Civilians fleeing, with others staring at each other in defiantance. A dozen bombs destroying a building, with Marik staring in disbelief.)
mi toji meguru Arubamu no kazu dake Boku-tachi wa otona ni naru yo
(Shot of the different present day authors, with their weapons at the ready. NocturneD is in the front, although he isn't related to THE NocturneD, and flashes a smile. However, Ultima Trev comes up from behind and gives him a knuckle noogie, in which both laugh and the others sweatdrop)
Tsunaideku kizuna Hitori kara futari ne Te to te wo kasane ai Ato kara kuru kimi ni Onaji mono wa dashitai kara
(Shot of Pegasus brutally defeating a duelist with a monster that looks similar to a Jigglypuff with fangs. Another shot is Duke encasing a reluctant bodyguard in a large dice cube for disobeying him. Finally, a shot of Globex, scratching his beard as he overlooks the city, his eyes glowing red.)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(Shot of all the authors raising their arms as their watches/chronoshifters glow. The clouds turn dark as large green tentacles begin to impale the Earth. Tea and Yugi are in each other's arms, as Yami looks on with interest. Bakura and the other Millennium holders look on as well)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(Finally, a vision of the sun setting as the authors, right now on the beach, are relaxing and enjoying themselves.)
(End Song)
Malik calmed watched the pale blue waves crash down upon the rocky shores of Domino, for he was getting closer and closer to his goal. 'Hmmph, such a worthless city. Awhile we had magic and ingenuity, these people work their butts off for material wealth and faulted technology. Books and the ancient writings have more sense than the pitiful IM and computers they possess. Once I become pharaoh, all technology will be buried. Those using it will become mind-slaves and clean out my stables by hand. Ah, I love being the evil genius of the family.'
"Brother." Marik's shoulder jerked, as he heard Rishid coming up from behind as usual, "we have picked up similar energy readings close to the ones in Domino Park. It's believed to be a God Card."
'Excellent, do we have a new Rare Hunter to replace Strings? I wish not to have someone as weak as him as my prime host for Sifter.' Marik thought via link, awhile planning the execution party for Yugi and his annoying sister.
"Indeed Marik, we have captured a new host, who voluntary offered his services." Rishid bowed, as he heard of Marik's latest "kill".
'Voluntary? That's something that rarely happens, send him in.' Marik thought spoke through the rod.
'I'm already there." A whisper came from the right side of Marik, who didn't see anyone a second ago. A man with a deep tan stood up from crouching and walked around to face him, his dark sunglasses showed no emotion at all. Even his scars were hideous, as if a large lion had made them, so deep you could see the veins pumping. Of course, part of it was covered by his long, dark purple hair that he ran freely down to his shoulders. He was trouble with a capital T, and slung on his back was a anti-tank missile launcher, enough to blow away a battalion. Marik didn't see why a guy like this would want to voluntary.
"My name is Snap, I have heard that the great Marik had come to this pitiful city, and I decided to join up in your clan. I am master of regeneration decks, in which I am a Class A Toonami duelist." Snap said in a dull tone, bowing to show respect.
"Toonami duelist, eh? Have you the skill level to control an Egyptian God Card?" Marik said, noticing that he could not use the rod on him to receive his telepathic wavelength.
"Indeed I have. If you still doubt my abilities, I will take my business elsewhere." Snap said, a dangerous glint in his glasses. He looked like he wanted to break something.
"That won't be asked of you. I'll be running down a background check on you before you obtain my Sifter the Sky Dragon." Marik understood instantly what was going through Snap's obsolete mind, and decided to counter it. Besides, it wasn't every day a guy with a elephant gun waltzes into your ship and drops in unnoticed.
"Of course." Snap deciding to think about why he was doing this so freely because he was evil, and evil people do that sort of thing when their IQ level is below 90. 'Little does the blondie know that my master revised my background to suit his every need. It's a good thing as well, that he can't read minds, otherwise he would know of my true mission: To collect all 10 God Cards and deliver them to Master Globex.' Snap thought calmly, a invisible grin went on his face.
'Why's he looking like that at me?' Marik wondered, because the grin on Snaps face made him look deranged, 'Oh well, he's probably impatient.'
"What must I do to obtain your rare card?" Snap asked hastily, as he was starting to get bored.
"Simple enough, I want you to locate this girl whom we have located on Kaiba's satellites, and defeat her in a duel." A large computer screen opened on the side of the main deck, and the picture of a young goth appeared on the screen, calmly walking "through" the crowd like a hologram, never touching anyone, just going "through" them somehow.
"Gothie Shie." Snap's eyes narrowed, his fists tightened. After all, who can forget the face that killed your family in a simple wave of the hand?
"Is that runt's name? How truly awkward. I expect you to run her down in the ground if needed." Marik said, a bit annoyed at the fuzziness on the screen. 'Rishid, when our "guest" leaves, shoot the guy in charge of cameras, the image on this thing is in shades of grey!' Rishid nodded, and walked out the chamber doors.
"Of course, but it may be difficult to capture her. She knows a powerful spirit technique, Oblong Shadow. Anyways, I require your special dress code in order to remain inconspicuous to the human eye." Two servants came with a Rare Hunter cloak his size and he donned him without struggle, his biceps showed greatly on it.
Beep! Beeeeboop! Beep! Beep! Snap's watch flashed red, and Snap smiled at the Egyptian villain in mock surprise, "It's my pager. I'll get right on Shie's case right after I do this little errand. My mother's kind of a b-" VWORP! He vanished into a ball of light and zapped into the sky like a missile, making a very large hole in Marik's ceiling.
Marik blinked in disbelief. 'Rishid?'
"Yes, master?" Rishid answered, not really caring about the hole, repairs are always done anyways.
'Next time we go to a tournament, ALWAYS give me my aspirin.'
Domino Bridge
"Man, I'm wasting away there!" groaned a blonde-haired duelist with a white T-shirt on, as he slowly dragged his feet, his mouth open, attracting various insects and causing them to die in mid-air. This duelist, also known as Joey Wheeler, has succumbed to one of the many weaknesses of anime, hunger.
"Rice Bowls! Get your hot, juicy chocolate-covered and regular rice bowls right there folks! Only 250 yen a bowl! Real cheap! Hey you, blondie, you look like a steamroller flatted you. Come over there and eat with me." A inviting tone said, causing Joey's head to turn nearly full circle, the thought of food made him drool.
It was a boy, yet it was difficult at the most to tell his age, who was underneath a blue tarp supported by two bamboo poles. On each side of his legs were large dishes of rice, and a side dish for butter. (A/N: Butter, gives rice more body) He wore loose-fitting clothes, in which the tunic and vest were blue, awhile his pants and sleeves were white. He had big brown gloves on, with pointed toe boots on his feet , a black belt leaned his pants up a little. He was about Joey's height, but wasn't as lanky, in which he was quite built. He had long blond hair built in downward spikes, but some fell out on both sides. His eyes were sparkling, hazel, and were small enough for people to get lost in if they stare into them . His belt carried three items, two blasters and a big sword with odd inscriptions on it.
"Hi." The guy waved, as he prepared some rice, "Name's Master Link." Joey took the bowl and swallowed it in one gulp. ML's eyes didn't even bulge from the sight, as Joey cleared 5 more bowls of steaming hot rice, and a bento that ML was saving for himself.
"Gee, thanks!!!" Joey was now energized from the food rush, and grinned, taking out his wallet, "So, how much do I owe ya?"
"Well."ML brought out a calculator, and typed furiously on it, "Since you ate my lunch, and at least said thanks, I guess it will be on the house."
"Neat! Say, are you one of those Toonami Duelists I've heard about?" Joey asked, curious to why ML was dressed like that.
"Nope, just a spectator who likes to stay alive." ML said, stirring some rice from a pot, "You could ask him to duel you."
Joey turned back to see where ML's eyes were on and came face to face with a teenager with red, bloodshot eyes. "Aaaahh!" He stumbled, falling directly onto the tarp, as well as ML.
"Pain." ML twitched, as he was trapped beneath Joey's heavy body, "Grrr, Mini-Light Blast!"Ka-BOOM! Instantly, Joey felt very hot underneath, as ML exploded in a fiery flash of light, getting Joey back on his feet, with a singed shirt. ML glowed and reshaped back to normal, even though it was apparent he burnt himself with the attack.
"Bwahahaha! You people are soooo entertaining." The red eyed teen laughed, hugging his chest. He was covered mostly in black, , with some green on the chest and arms. His head was covered by a bulky metal helmet with two green spikes shooting out. A long, shredded black cape and cowl was added to his back, to show the figure's over-whelming dread. He was terror. He was fear. He was.
"Hello, Shadow Cell." ML yawned. Shadow Cell fell over in mock shock.
"Don't Hi me, you runt! I am the best duelist around, and you know it!" Shadow Cell yelled in ML's face, who calmly ignored him as he scrimmaged around in the rice bowl for unpleasant pieces.
"That's nice, so go away, I'm not dueling. Cards are for wimps anyways." ML said, fixing the tarp.
"I'll let that pass, you have a lower power level in terms of fics anyways. Well then, I guess I'll take on this chump instead, seeing that he has a Duel Disk. You look familiar by the way." He said, referring to Joey. Joey flashed a grin at his opponent, he was ready to go.
"So, let's duel this thing already! I'm full up and ready to fight!" Joey said, taking out his cards. ML shook his head in disappointment at Joey's actions, 'Boy, he doesn't realize how much trouble he's getting into.'
The two launched their duel disks and faced off, and of course, Mr. Referee stopped by, by car swerving to miss the two and crashed into the rail. He stepped out of the slowly burning car and posed. "Then it's agreed! Joey Wheeler of 2nd DM place, against Shadow Cell of the Hino Tournament semifinals! Duelists ready? It's time to d-d-d-d-duel!" The car exploded behind him, knocking him over the edge, but the duelists and patient overseer didn't even notice.
**** Name: ShadowCell Class:A ATT Power: 2100/1800 Card Deck: 45 cards Card Deck Type: Fighter/Mech Tournament: Hino Tournament-Semifinals 2nd Place Weapon: Twin daggers Specialty: Psychic Power Special Attack: Puppet-Control **********
Joey: J Shadow Cell: S
S: (4000) You'll find out that there's more to me than meets the eye, as I am a powerful duelist intent on absorbing all my foes!
J: (4000) Knock it off already, I know your two-bit kind, and I'll kick your green butt all over!
S: Very well. I start off with Krillian in ATT Mode! (Krillan 1400/900)
J: Yeah? Well I've got Swordman of Landstar! And I place this card face down. (Swordman of Landstar:500 att/1200 def)
S: Is that so? Well then, I also place a card face down and a monster in defense mode.
J: I'll sacrifice my Swordsman of Landstar to summon Panther Warrior, in attack mode! (Panther Warrior 2000/1600)
S: (grins) 'Predictable.'
J: Attack, the bald guy!
S: (flips the card up) Not this time, for I activate the trap Cross Winds, causing your monster to accidentally kill himself. Sorta like a Change of Heart, but modified for TD. My turn, as I flip my defense monster up and sacrifice both Number 18 and Krillan to summon Imperfect Cell!
(Panther Warriors eyes lit up as he slashes himself with his own blade, and explodes into data. The face down card is #18, in which both she and Krillian blow up and a Insectiod-like warrior appears, holding a powerful tail.)
(Imperfect Cell 1900/1600)-EFF:For each 2 monsters he slays will give the duelist a Lv 4 summon.
J: 'Man, that move was so sleazy. If I'm to win.'
S: You'll what? Draw your Scapegoat in order to summon Jinzo?
J: 'How did he know!?!'
S: I'm not some amateur psychic like Roba and Mai, because of my rank, I can draw a certain life force to inspire my power in the cards. I am one of many people known as Author's beings capable of creating and destroying alternate universes, and I selected the power of the mind to read your thoughts and do a special trick I have pulled on boneheads like you.
J: (his hand uncontrollably comes up and draws Alligator's Sword, and slaps it down on the field.) What the!?
S: Hee hee hee. I'm controlling your unoccupied hand, since the other has your cards, and by looking through your eyes, I can draw any card I want so it can be destroyed! There's no law against it, so I'm not worried. Now, Imperfect Cell, attack! (Alligator's sword is now an appetizer)
J: (4000- 3800 LP) 'Oh man. I gotta..'
S: Draw a new card? Fat chance, I know every card in your deck now!
J: (again without control draws Baby Dragon from his deck and places it up in attack mode)
S: Bwahahaha! PH33R MY L33T P0W3R! Attack again, Imperfect Cell! (Baby Dragon is now shish kabob)
J:Arrrgh! (LP 3800-3100) 'So strong! How the heck do I..'
S: Counter it? You can't! I now summon Nappa in Attack mode! As well as lay the magic Card, Cocoon of Evolution on Imperfect Cell! In five turns he will turn into his ultimate form!
(Imperfect Cell 1900/1300-1900/3300)
(Nappa 1600/1200)-If destroyed, allow one LV 5 summon.)
J: (His hand places down a trap card, Shadow Cell grins)
S: Attack, Nappa! (Nappa charges in blindly)
J: I don't know what I drew, but I bet it's good! Alright, you selected Trap Hole, killing any monster below 1000!
(Nappa falls in, but the hole explodes in a flash of light as a new warrior appears.
S: Hah. What you did was allow me to gain a LV 5 card without summons. Nappa has the special effect on higher personnel. For I now summon Vegeta! (Vegeta pops up and flares anger through ki)
(Vegeta 2400/1900)-Can fire on two monsters at a time
J: 'Darn it! Serenity's never going to speak to me again if I don't win! There has to be a way.(spies ML's food)'
S: 'Odd, I can't pick up any more thoughts. Might as well make him draw a really low monster so I can end this' (tries, but is unable) The hell?
J: (drooling at the thought of more rice, SC falls over in surprise) Looks like I found a way to bypass your mind control. (draws a card) And thanks for the tip, as I use Scapegoat and use two of them to summon Parasite Queen!
(The four goats appear on the field and two of them glow and turn into the viciously ugly Parasite Quee)
S: W-what? 'Impossible! No mortal has survived my technique! But this is nothing less from the reincarnated Pharaoh's loyal bodyguard.' (Parasite drops a egg out of her sack)
J: And look, she's laying a egg. Once it's ready, she'll absorb it into her ATT.
S: Hmmph! Vegeta, attack!
(Vegeta launches out with his Final Flash, but one of the horned bushes jumps in the way of the blast before it could envelop the group)
J: (draws a card) Oops, you shot down one of my Scapegoats, sorry! You should have known that those things could only be shot one at a time. And it looks like another egg came out the hatch. I'll put a monster in defense mode now.
S: 'Only one scapegoat' I place a card face down and attack your last Scapegoat!
(Vegeta warily throws a small ki ball, enough to pop the fuzzy guy)
J: Looks like I hit the jackpot. (The third egg pops out)
S: What are you talking about, I'm about to crush your queen!
J: Nope, you aren't today! I shift Time Wizard to attack mode! Since he can't affect Parasite Queen, I'm going straight for her eggs, and break your defense! Time Wizard, Time Roulette! (Drode's Notes: I hate to butt in, but I hate this routine. It takes what? 9 minutes in the show for it to stop? Not a chance, we'll just say it landed on the Time Machine for now. Oh, and three insect cards popped up, as well as a old geezer with a nearly bald head.)
S: No! Vegeta now has 1/3 of his strength left, and Imperfect Cell.(grins evilly)
(Vegeta 800/300)
(Imperfect Cell 1900/700-2500/1900)
J: What's with the look on your face? My Parasite Queen is about to suck in all three basic Insect cards and you have a sappy grin.
S: You fool! You sped up Cell's growth, he was protected all along by the Cocoon!
(Perfect Cell 2500/1900):Absorbs ATT of any monster less or equal to it's ATT
J: Oh geeze!
S: That's right. GAME OVER! Perfect Cell! Drain Vegeta to match Parasite Queen!
(PC touches Vegeta with his palm, causing him to explode into pink ooze all over the arena. Joey makes a face of disgust)
(Perfect Cell 3300/2300)
J: Man, Mac, that was disgusting! I put a card face down and have my Queen absorb all three Insects.
(Parasite Queen 3300/2100)
S: Now! Perfect Cell! Use your special ability to absorb Parasite Queen!
J: (flips the card over) Not this time, I activate trap card, Kunai with chain! Which not only paralyzes your monster, it adds 700 ATT to Parasite Queen!
(The weapon shoots out from the facedown monster in defense, or in Joey's case, his "Flame Manipulator")
(M/N: Duh, of course he has it to summon Flame Swordsman, otherwise he has no chance) and ensnares Perfect Cell, freezing him in place)
S: But that means!
(Parasite Queen 4000 ATT DEF 2100 DEF)
J: Oh yeah! Higher than your Cell, and ready to do damage! Parasite Queen, Tendril Cutter!
S: (LP 4000- 3300) Oh dear.
J: And now, I order my queen to directly attack your life points!
(A large tendril strikes Shadow Cell in the stomach, shoving him with the force of a fright train. He falls head over feet several tines before stopping in a mangled clump, dizzy from the impact.)
S: (LP 3300- 0) Aaaah! The agony of defeat!
J: No one messes with Joey Wheeler's mind! Boo yah!
Mr. Referee: (getting in the middle of it, after climbing the bridge, sore and tired) Life Points distinguished! The winner of this round goes to Joey Wheeler!
*****End Battle***
ML made a soft sigh as Joey came to Shadow Cell, and held out his hand as a sign of friendship, "Good match, you really put me on the ropes there."
Shadow Cell accepted the handshake, although nearly crushing Joey's hand, "You as well, you were dueling at your best, I can give you that. I hope to meet you in the semi-finals, I have extra cards in store for you." He took out his Perfect Cell card and kissed it, then handed it to Joey in awkward defeat. He turned and walked away, into the glare of the sun. 'Even though I had a Reinforcements Magic Card for my next turn' was Cell's last thoughts before leaving, and smoked a fire hydrant with one finger.
"Shadow Cell, man of a thousand mysteries." ML whispered to himself, and then looked at Joey, who was helping himself to more rice bowls, "And then there's Joey, man of a thousand stomachs. At least I have business."
Old abandoned warehouse near Kaiba Corp.
'Free at least! I have to save Mokuba from Pegasus!' Kaiba thought, emerging out the doors in full sprint. He had successfully used his duel disk's sharp edge in order to cut the restricting wire bonds, and subdued the hyper guard in charge with a powerful roundhouse kick.
WRRRR! WRRRR! WRRRR! Two giant metal creatures that looked like rabbits jumped in front of his path. He turned to see three more blocking the way he came in, and from the way they looked, Kaiba knew that he shouldn't have pushed his luck. Especially when a mini-tv opened on their stomachs, and the grinning face of Pegasus appeared.
"Pegasus!" Kaiba growled, "Where the heck have you taken my brother! For if I find out you touched a hair on him I'll-"
"Relax Kaiba-boy, we have your little brother right on board the battleship. All you have to do is get 10 locator cards to find it, and then duel me one-on-one. But I must warn you, the area you're in has dozens of eliminator droids, as well as a packet of hard-core TD fighters. Of course, I'm allowed to injure you since you're in my battle city now." Pegasus said, as the goons raised their arms and fired curved gold rods. They wrapped around Kaiba and pinned him to the ground. Kaiba struggled hard to break them, but they were constricting too hard, and breathing become hard. He felt very light headed in a matter of seconds.
"Like it, Kaiba-boy?" Pegasus taunted, knowing full well of Kaiba's problem, "It's made of a new metal that Globex makes, which is the equivalent to Kryptonite to TD duelists. Normal humans would be tortured through their wildest dreams, and collapse of heart failure. It is my personal weapon for my 'Bun Slayers'."
"Not so fast! Tekage no Jutsu!" The sky turned dark in a hurry, as a couple dozen flashes of light struck out from the sky. Flit! Flit! Flit! 3 fast objects went through the cable part without stopping, cutting away Kaiba's bondage from what appeared to be inches. Turning his head slightly, Kaiba could see that they were still going, straight at the warehouse he escaped from.
CRRASH! The three hit dead on with the side, imploding the texture of it to lean the full weight on itself, resulting in a pile-up of steel and wood. The teenage boy with the capsule corp. jacket overlooked the chaos, and smirked as the warehouse caught on fire, the smoke caused the antennas on the bots to broke, cutting off Pegasus's air time.
"I suggest you put your arms down, or I'll cut them off as well with my specially designed cards. They're even more lethal at close range." The black-haired boy said, dropping down to eye level, his yellow boots absorbed impact. His face was purely calm, but his black pupils showed anger, pain, and sorrow inside.
Ka-Ching! He drew out his sword from it's sheath, the hilt was covered in gold. It was long and sharp, but had a thin point at the end, capable of shredding steel at a single point of contact.
"Just who do you think you are, barging on our parade?" The suits opened, revealing muscular, grown men in Funny Bunny costumes, with jet black dueling disks. They were certainly not happy to see the hero.
"I am the 2nd top Toonami duelist in Japan, and you have worn out your welcome by threatening to kill Seto Kaiba." The teen said, ready to get chopping.
"Boy, I don't care what your rank is, but what our plan was to injure him." The two didn't even flinch as Kaiba broke free and stood up glaring.
"Then what honor is there? I force you two to a tag match Toonami Duel!" The teen declared, his sword pointed up to flash sunlight in a very heroic pose.
"Fine kid, we have the best deck in Pegasus's inventory anyways. He calls it the Labyrinth of Darkness deck." The two smiled evilly, knowing the match was in the bag.
'Labyrinth of Darkness? I never heard of such a deck before, Pegasus must have worked overtime to make something to defeat me quick. Still, should I help this guy? He saved my life, but do I really have to?' Seto thought to himself, plotting his latest escape.
"Kaiba." Seto turned to face the stern eyes of the mysterious duelist, "Don't get discouraged about me, these two may have a somewhat decent deck (M/N: Especially when you can buy one for less than 5 bucks at hobby shops), but with faith in the cards, I am sure that victory is imminent."
'What the heck, I have nothing to lose at the moment.' "We accept your challenge!" Seto said, but with a bit less vigor to his attitude.
"LET'S DUEL!" came the combined cry, as dark clouds began to form overhead, cackling with lightning. A calm figure watched from the rooftops, the wind calmly blowing his black hair.
"Well now, it's time to see if the man who designed the game can win this round." Phantom Mask said to himself, awhile pulling out a dozen locator cards, "He'll have to work more than ever to beat me, and with his girl in Globex's clutches, I imagine this will be quite the match. But first."
Grimm Cemetery
"This looks like the place, the Duel Tracker 2003 is usually never wrong." Snap thought to himself as he clicked the blinking red light on his disk for the fifth time since arriving. After a hard and violent struggle with his parents, he relogged in and checked for a signal.
"Go back." A dreary, haunting sound reached his ears.
"Say what? Who's there?" Snap couldn't tell at all where the sound was coming from, so he brought out his rifle for combat.
"Go back."
"Hey what is this? Some sort of surround-sound system or what?"
"This is your last warning."
"And I'm warning you, get out of my way your annoying voice!"
FWIIIIIP! FWIIIIIP! FWIIIIP! About a dozen thorned vines erupted from the ground and wrapped around this most sensitive body parts. Several moans were heard as rotted corpses broke free from their coffins, and started to crawl towards Snap. But that wasn't all, all the tombstones had his name on it.
"NOOOO!" His aura flashed like a blazing purple fire that consumed him, melting the vines and turning them into ashes. The field of burning energy flared out like a massive bomb drop, incarnating anything in it's dome-shaped path. The zombies exploded like popcorn bags, splattering all over the grass and melting into nothing. (M/N: Hey, I wanted the flesh and blood to fall on the guy, but for some reason SH wants the PG rating. Guy's a hopeless case when it comes to FF.net rules.) All that was left of the cemetery was burned grass and one very annoyed teenage girl in Goth clothes.
"Look at this mess! I worked half the day getting the vines and corpses to attack on cue, and what do you do? You burn my playing field! How is a Class A dark duelist supposed to work on a empty field with no distractions!" Gothie Shie yelled, her head grew the size of a bus to produce the proper yelling. Her shirt was covered in soot, thanks to the blast. She was very, very po'ed now.
Snap sweat-dropped, "I plead the fifth?" KA-THWACK! Mallet pummel!
"Jerk." Shie muttered as she picked up her broken wood mallet off Snap's semi-conscious head, and calmly walked away in contempt.
"Chicken." Snap sneered, even though his body was at the moment 2 feet into the dirt. A vein pop appeared on Shie's head, and she stopped mid- stride.
"W-what was that?" she growled, her power aura flared emerald, causing the dead trees to regrow and spawn sharp branches, awhile the pebbles on the ground floated up and remolded back into solid tombstones. The sky turned dark as coal, and a freezing gust of wind picked up gathering around Shie as if it were her mother. "No one crosses my line, but you broke it. PREPARE TO DUEL!!!" The winds shot out from her, as the landscape turned barren and frozen, shaped from the power of the supernatural.
A large figure in a black cloak and carrying a oar came over, and studied the two, then took off the robe in a transformation scene that would make small boys cry. That's right, kiddies, Mr. Referee's doing a "Botan" cosplay for you fans out there. (M/N:and a reason to boost ratings, I hope) "Then it's agreed! This authorization battle is a Non-tribute Card Match. Because of your TD status, you are given a 30 minute time limit, best wishes to both of you!" He took off the disgusting pink kimono and span around a few times before swinging his arm down, throwing a capsule. Which of course turned into a Judge, exploding on contact. (M/N: And thus the shields went up, the jude said the same words from last chapter blah, blah, blah and let's start this already!)

G: Gothie Shie S: Snap
*********FIGHT!**********
G: (4000) I'll start off first, and summon Maiden of the Lake in def mode! Att 600 DEF 1700
S: (4000) Piece of cake! I summon Kamidake: Warrior Mode! And I place this card face down. 1600/1300
G:I now switch the Maiden to attack mode, and use her special ability to smash in your life points! (The maiden transforms into Gastly and fires a Shadow Ball at Snap)
S: Nope! Trap card activate! Life Defender! (The Juraian warrior pulls out his staff (M/N: Eww) and spins it, causing the Shadow Ball to cancel out)
G:Drat! I discard the Maiden and summon Teen Koenma! I place these two cards face down and order a attack. Teen Koenma 1900/1500 (He pulls out a written document with Kamidake's name and stamps it, killing Kamidake immediately)
S: (draws a card) (4000-3700) Well done, I now summon the castle of Dark Illusions in defense mode, and place two cards face down as well. Oh, and the Castle, improved bt TD standards, can increase the attack and defense of any monster by 200 for 4 turns! (Castle of Dark Illusions 920/1930)
G: (draws a card) Getting edgy I see. I place a monster in defense mode, and place one more card down.
S: (draws a card) Eye for an eye, I always say. Or a monster in defense mode and a face down card.
G: (draws a card as well) I'll pass, my hand is ready for you anyways.
S: HA! I'll try the old "Life Snatch" technique! I play the magic card Tremendous Fire! This inflicts 1000 of Direct Damage to your LP! (A giant fireball shoots out from Snap's side)
G: The old direct attack huh? I unflip my face down element card, Trap Defect! It cancels out your attack for 1 turn. (The fireball is put out and deleted)
S: (draws a new card) Hmmph. At least I had no side effects. I now reveal my face down card, Elephantor and place it in defense mode! (Elephantor 1500/2800) and I combine it with Angel Gate, which boosts it's defense 400 per turn! (Elephantor 1500/3200)
G: (draws a card) Looks like I need a better hand. Oh well, activate monster into ATT mode! (Haunter 1300/700) and combine it with the living arrow and my other element card Jack In! Combined, they can be launched directly at your LP! (Haunter shoots out and strikes Snap in a devastating explosion) S: (3700-2400) (draws a card)'Jackpot!' You may have wounded me, but I'm about to get serious. I place a card face down.'I'll need it for later.' (Elephantor 1500/3600)
G: (draws a new card and grins) Sadly, Jack In requires a one turn standby, but I have a new card in store for your demise! But first I'll withdraw Teen Koenma to make room. (T. Koenma disappears) S: Time for a defense makeover! As I place the element card Gate-Shield Advanced! This card boosts 800 DEF to my Elephantor for the LP I take off you! (Elephantor 1500/4000)
G:Are you blind? I haven't lost any points yet! I play a element card Triple Play! Which allows me to summon 3 Class 3 cards in attack mode! Combine your powers to shatter his shield! (Draws three random cards from her deck) (Yusuke 2100/1500) (Kurama 1600/1700) (Hiei 1800/800) (The three fire their respective attacks, but the Elephantor's shield activates and seems to absorb them)
S: (draws a card) Nope, you just made a small puncture, as your monsters were too weak to break it being spiritual instead of mech, causing the DEF to raise because of the LP you lost! I'll lay a monster in defense mode and one card face down, ending my turn. (Elephantor 1500/4800)
G: (4000-2500) (draws a new card, and her face lights up) 'A ritual card, perfect timing Yami magic!' Heh heh! You're in big trouble now! I found a way to crush you like the wyrm you are! As I now play.(slaps the card down face up) Chaos Z Gate! In which I now summon my most POWERFUL Toonami warrior on the field by sacrificing all three of my warriors! Behold! As I summon now Togoro, a Demon who is by far the strongest Land Toonami God Card around! (Togoro 6000/4500)-Can destroy one Mech Card per turn (Togoro is the big bulky guy with the killer glasses from YYH, and is extremely powerful. I thought that by adding him it would compliment the guy who made him)
S: Excellent.
G: Is that all you have to say before my manly man? We are two peas in a pod, hoping to dispose of filth like you .Togoro, will you please kill this loser before I do it for you? Finishing K.O. Crusher! (Togoro flares up his battle aura as his muscles become armor-like and thick, his neck spreads up as muscles cover his shirtless body head to toe, and then runs full out to punch the barrier in)
S: Ha! You fell into the most complicated trap of Toonami Duel!
G: Say what?
S: Behold, as the Wall of Illusions special effect activates now! (Togoro hits the Wall and is sucked in and the card is thus discarded) And because it is a LAND based card, it will be transported back to the top of your deck regardless of rank!
G: But that means.Oh no! I have no monsters out on my field except Teen Koenma in my hand! I'll have to summon him again for right now. There's no way you'll win and I'll get two other warriors to summon my God Card, as well as another Chaos Z Gate in my deck to crush you! (Koenma appears again, only a bit tired from being recalled)
S: Not today! I now activate the powers of the magic Card Shield and Sword, which swaps ATT with DEF, making my Elephantor a behemoth of raw power! (the field shakes as the two sizzle and fiz) (Elephantor 5200/1500) (Teen Koenma 1500/1900)
S: Now! Time to finish her off and collect my prize! Elephantor, Arc-Tic Slash!
G:Noooo! (TheElephantor's trunk opens to reveal a green energy sword and it swings down on poor Koenma with a massive explosion that blows up most of the graveyard, and the Judge deactivates from the battle) (2500-0)
Mr. Referee: Life Points Extinguished, the Winner is Snap! --------------------------------End Battle---------------------------------- ----------------------
"Looks like I win by a nose." Snap said to him, brushing off the dirt from the explosion, "That will teach everyone not to mess with the Elephantor Duelist." He glanced around the now burnt field and noticed Shie was unconscious, her head was at a unnatural angle, as the blast had twisted it. 'Revenge time.' Snap thought, as a small PK7 pistol appeared in his hand, 'Globex may kill me, but at least I'm avenging my family.'
FWIIIIP! A vine shot out from the ground, wrapped around the gun, pulled it out of his hand, and shot back into the ground before Snap could blink. Shie's eyes opened and glowed purple at the same moment, and then closed. Her rare Togoro card fell out of her abandoned deck, and the dead wind lifted it and flew it right to Snaps open hand.
{Snap} Shie's voice spoke telepathically in Snap's head {I know you want to kill me, but now is not the right time, I can't explain it right now but.} Her voice trailed off as her entire body turned into purple light and turned into a ball, shooting past him in a flash towards the city.
'I was so close!' Snap stomped in anger, causing major tremors in the Earth, one of which opened a fault line on he other side of the world, 'I had her, but she knocked it out of my hand and teleported to the nearest clinic! Darn her!' However, in his rumbling rampage of anger, he realized he had the card in his hands and stopped thundering. Upon further examination, he smiled at the smug look on Togoro's face, and laughed. Of course, this didn't amuse the neighbor's around the now vacant lot, as one of them threw a brick, thinking he was a stray cat meowing. There he laid, down and out at least till the next duel. ___________________________________________________________________________
SH: Good! I finally finished! And in a month's time! Drode: Good for you.(takes out a large bundle of scripts) SH: What's that? Drode: Duh, it's your list of unfinished Fics you never finished or started. I think about oh 128 has been made by you but never completed. SH: (sweatdrop) Drode, you're the reason I never finished them, they were ideas stolen from other authors. Drode: Of course, what kind of author doesn't take inspiration from others.
SH: (goes to the bathroom) Not me. Drode: Hey! Stop ignoring me! SH: (:P) Drode: Grrr. Roll the credits for next chapter! ____________________________________________________________________________ _
On the next chapter of Toonami Duel: Rumble in Battle City!
-The tag team match of the century has now arrived with explosive results, can NocD and Kaiba stand against the power of the Labyrinth of darkness?
-Yugi gets a match with Noc's mysterious rival, the infamous swordsman, Zoe Mononoke. However, a powerful neutralizer spell has been cast on the puzzle and now Yugi is on his own! Can Yugi break the spell that Zoe has put on Yami to win?
-History Lesson 101 on the origins of the authors, the connection between YGO and Toonami Duel, and how the heck did Battle City change into a battlefield by authors, hosted by the roguest of muses, Drode!
Drode: Just as I thought, no respect to veterans. Well, we'll just have to take care of that won't we? Roll film! (The lights dim as the projector starts up. It appears to be a tape of some sort, made by bad cameramen)
"HHHHEEEEEEELLLLP! Police! Militia! This is so not nice! He's touching my rear! AAAAAAAAH!!!!" came the shrill scream of a panicked girl in her teens, causing many to look up in alarm. However, seeing that she was not seen, they calmly went back to their business, not observing the three lanky man coming up the busy street, carrying two really noisy bags. They were dressed in the gangster-like fashion; white jackets, bandannas on their heads, baggy brown pants and dark sunglasses. These guys are trouble.
"Hey, Akai, could ya bop the onna for me? Her whining's giving me a headache and a half." One of the three said. The one called "Akai" nodded quietly, as he brought out a sock filled with something heavy from his pants and brought it down on the screaming sack. THUNK! The screams stopped.
"Te`a?" The other sack asked quietly, unaware of what just happened. There was no answer, and the three men walked across the crowded marketplace of Domino, uncaring of their helpless victims they kidnapped. Thankfully, someone noticed the wiggling of the other sack, a random police officer known as Sai, who was enlisted by Kaiba to keep the peace. Sai believed that those boys were carrying smuggled decks and dueling disks, seeing they looked like they had none of their own.
Unfortunately for him, one of the three had the hindsight to stay behind, seeing he carried no cargo. Sai calmly walked up, bypassing many curious pedestrians, and was about to order the two to stop and allow him to search the bags when he felt a metallic surface on his back. He stopped in mid-walk, starting to sweat because of what he just gotten into. Someone, or something had somehow got the drop on him, it could be a Yazuka or a gang member of some sort. Their kind were predators on easy policemen as himself, using their silent, but deadly weapons to make deaths look accidental.
"Turn, and I slit your throat. Draw your sword and I slice your spine. Try to look at me or recall my voice and I'll cause your liver to implode your system with it's poison, your choice." The voice was hissy, flat and emotionless, like a telemarketer with attitude problems. It was definitely a sword of some type, if it was a gun, the guy behind him would say stuff like blow your brains out.
"W-what do you want?" Sai stammered, for he was a bit of a coward when his opponent is ten times better. The sword drew back, the figure behind him grinned. Evilly.
"I want you to close your eyes and count to 10. Once you do that, I want you to forget about your job and go into the fishing trade, it's safer." The figure said, and Sai complied, closing his eyes. In seconds the person's presence was gone, and as soon as he opened his eyes, a girl was in front of him, smirking. But without bring out details, let's just say the cop learned how to fly into a wall. The girl smirked, and her guardian (who ko'ed him) reverted into a card, which she pocketed. No one noticed the entire incident, as they were used to mass chaos in their fair city.
(Drode turns off the projector and grins with a wicked smile, revealing dozens of carnivore teeth at the audience)
Drode: SH told me to eat any strangers who send bad decks to his account. (Eats a Final Saber plushie) No medabots, period. This is based on Toonami, not FOX family! (Gets whacked by a giant mallet)
Opening Song
Itsumade mo wasurenai Takusan no mono moratta ne Sora no iro utsushite hikaru aoi houseki ya
(The opening scene appears to be a happy meadow with dozens of authors, but after a few seconds, the sky becomes dark and flashes lightning)
koi no tachi hane mawaru hiroi ni wa ja nai motto motto daijina mono wo
(A pair of red eyes opens in the darkness as it launches a barrage of bolts, zapping several in their tracks. Two giant black hands reach down and snare some of the authors, silencing them permanently. However, a single card is launched and hit's one of the eyes, angering the beast. The person who threw it is none other than NocturneD, who holds his sword high for a battle to the death.)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(A shot of thousands of centipede-like creatures in combat with different authors. However, 6 streams of light shoot down from above and crash, revealing 6 very powerful cards that glow and transform. Six Authors are by each one, their faces are unseen because of their helmets.)
Yuuyake no sakamichi de Kataguruma shite moratta ne Warui koto shikarezu ni tada Kanashii me wo shita
(The authors point at the army, and the monsters glow as their respective energies combine into a giant energy ball and fires, killing every person in it's path. That over, the monsters glow purple and disappear, never to be unlocked again after the death they've caused.)
Tooi hibi utsusu kamera Dare no kokoro ni mo Kitto kitto aru hazu dakara (Screenshot of the present, with Yugi and the others laughing. A battle in the sky between two legendary birds that rain down fire and ice on the ground. Civilians fleeing, with others staring at each other in defiantance. A dozen bombs destroying a building, with Marik staring in disbelief.)
mi toji meguru Arubamu no kazu dake Boku-tachi wa otona ni naru yo
(Shot of the different present day authors, with their weapons at the ready. NocturneD is in the front, although he isn't related to THE NocturneD, and flashes a smile. However, Ultima Trev comes up from behind and gives him a knuckle noogie, in which both laugh and the others sweatdrop)
Tsunaideku kizuna Hitori kara futari ne Te to te wo kasane ai Ato kara kuru kimi ni Onaji mono wa dashitai kara
(Shot of Pegasus brutally defeating a duelist with a monster that looks similar to a Jigglypuff with fangs. Another shot is Duke encasing a reluctant bodyguard in a large dice cube for disobeying him. Finally, a shot of Globex, scratching his beard as he overlooks the city, his eyes glowing red.)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(Shot of all the authors raising their arms as their watches/chronoshifters glow. The clouds turn dark as large green tentacles begin to impale the Earth. Tea and Yugi are in each other's arms, as Yami looks on with interest. Bakura and the other Millennium holders look on as well)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(Finally, a vision of the sun setting as the authors, right now on the beach, are relaxing and enjoying themselves.)
(End Song)
Malik calmed watched the pale blue waves crash down upon the rocky shores of Domino, for he was getting closer and closer to his goal. 'Hmmph, such a worthless city. Awhile we had magic and ingenuity, these people work their butts off for material wealth and faulted technology. Books and the ancient writings have more sense than the pitiful IM and computers they possess. Once I become pharaoh, all technology will be buried. Those using it will become mind-slaves and clean out my stables by hand. Ah, I love being the evil genius of the family.'
"Brother." Marik's shoulder jerked, as he heard Rishid coming up from behind as usual, "we have picked up similar energy readings close to the ones in Domino Park. It's believed to be a God Card."
'Excellent, do we have a new Rare Hunter to replace Strings? I wish not to have someone as weak as him as my prime host for Sifter.' Marik thought via link, awhile planning the execution party for Yugi and his annoying sister.
"Indeed Marik, we have captured a new host, who voluntary offered his services." Rishid bowed, as he heard of Marik's latest "kill".
'Voluntary? That's something that rarely happens, send him in.' Marik thought spoke through the rod.
'I'm already there." A whisper came from the right side of Marik, who didn't see anyone a second ago. A man with a deep tan stood up from crouching and walked around to face him, his dark sunglasses showed no emotion at all. Even his scars were hideous, as if a large lion had made them, so deep you could see the veins pumping. Of course, part of it was covered by his long, dark purple hair that he ran freely down to his shoulders. He was trouble with a capital T, and slung on his back was a anti-tank missile launcher, enough to blow away a battalion. Marik didn't see why a guy like this would want to voluntary.
"My name is Snap, I have heard that the great Marik had come to this pitiful city, and I decided to join up in your clan. I am master of regeneration decks, in which I am a Class A Toonami duelist." Snap said in a dull tone, bowing to show respect.
"Toonami duelist, eh? Have you the skill level to control an Egyptian God Card?" Marik said, noticing that he could not use the rod on him to receive his telepathic wavelength.
"Indeed I have. If you still doubt my abilities, I will take my business elsewhere." Snap said, a dangerous glint in his glasses. He looked like he wanted to break something.
"That won't be asked of you. I'll be running down a background check on you before you obtain my Sifter the Sky Dragon." Marik understood instantly what was going through Snap's obsolete mind, and decided to counter it. Besides, it wasn't every day a guy with a elephant gun waltzes into your ship and drops in unnoticed.
"Of course." Snap deciding to think about why he was doing this so freely because he was evil, and evil people do that sort of thing when their IQ level is below 90. 'Little does the blondie know that my master revised my background to suit his every need. It's a good thing as well, that he can't read minds, otherwise he would know of my true mission: To collect all 10 God Cards and deliver them to Master Globex.' Snap thought calmly, a invisible grin went on his face.
'Why's he looking like that at me?' Marik wondered, because the grin on Snaps face made him look deranged, 'Oh well, he's probably impatient.'
"What must I do to obtain your rare card?" Snap asked hastily, as he was starting to get bored.
"Simple enough, I want you to locate this girl whom we have located on Kaiba's satellites, and defeat her in a duel." A large computer screen opened on the side of the main deck, and the picture of a young goth appeared on the screen, calmly walking "through" the crowd like a hologram, never touching anyone, just going "through" them somehow.
"Gothie Shie." Snap's eyes narrowed, his fists tightened. After all, who can forget the face that killed your family in a simple wave of the hand?
"Is that runt's name? How truly awkward. I expect you to run her down in the ground if needed." Marik said, a bit annoyed at the fuzziness on the screen. 'Rishid, when our "guest" leaves, shoot the guy in charge of cameras, the image on this thing is in shades of grey!' Rishid nodded, and walked out the chamber doors.
"Of course, but it may be difficult to capture her. She knows a powerful spirit technique, Oblong Shadow. Anyways, I require your special dress code in order to remain inconspicuous to the human eye." Two servants came with a Rare Hunter cloak his size and he donned him without struggle, his biceps showed greatly on it.
Beep! Beeeeboop! Beep! Beep! Snap's watch flashed red, and Snap smiled at the Egyptian villain in mock surprise, "It's my pager. I'll get right on Shie's case right after I do this little errand. My mother's kind of a b-" VWORP! He vanished into a ball of light and zapped into the sky like a missile, making a very large hole in Marik's ceiling.
Marik blinked in disbelief. 'Rishid?'
"Yes, master?" Rishid answered, not really caring about the hole, repairs are always done anyways.
'Next time we go to a tournament, ALWAYS give me my aspirin.'
Domino Bridge
"Man, I'm wasting away there!" groaned a blonde-haired duelist with a white T-shirt on, as he slowly dragged his feet, his mouth open, attracting various insects and causing them to die in mid-air. This duelist, also known as Joey Wheeler, has succumbed to one of the many weaknesses of anime, hunger.
"Rice Bowls! Get your hot, juicy chocolate-covered and regular rice bowls right there folks! Only 250 yen a bowl! Real cheap! Hey you, blondie, you look like a steamroller flatted you. Come over there and eat with me." A inviting tone said, causing Joey's head to turn nearly full circle, the thought of food made him drool.
It was a boy, yet it was difficult at the most to tell his age, who was underneath a blue tarp supported by two bamboo poles. On each side of his legs were large dishes of rice, and a side dish for butter. (A/N: Butter, gives rice more body) He wore loose-fitting clothes, in which the tunic and vest were blue, awhile his pants and sleeves were white. He had big brown gloves on, with pointed toe boots on his feet , a black belt leaned his pants up a little. He was about Joey's height, but wasn't as lanky, in which he was quite built. He had long blond hair built in downward spikes, but some fell out on both sides. His eyes were sparkling, hazel, and were small enough for people to get lost in if they stare into them . His belt carried three items, two blasters and a big sword with odd inscriptions on it.
"Hi." The guy waved, as he prepared some rice, "Name's Master Link." Joey took the bowl and swallowed it in one gulp. ML's eyes didn't even bulge from the sight, as Joey cleared 5 more bowls of steaming hot rice, and a bento that ML was saving for himself.
"Gee, thanks!!!" Joey was now energized from the food rush, and grinned, taking out his wallet, "So, how much do I owe ya?"
"Well."ML brought out a calculator, and typed furiously on it, "Since you ate my lunch, and at least said thanks, I guess it will be on the house."
"Neat! Say, are you one of those Toonami Duelists I've heard about?" Joey asked, curious to why ML was dressed like that.
"Nope, just a spectator who likes to stay alive." ML said, stirring some rice from a pot, "You could ask him to duel you."
Joey turned back to see where ML's eyes were on and came face to face with a teenager with red, bloodshot eyes. "Aaaahh!" He stumbled, falling directly onto the tarp, as well as ML.
"Pain." ML twitched, as he was trapped beneath Joey's heavy body, "Grrr, Mini-Light Blast!"Ka-BOOM! Instantly, Joey felt very hot underneath, as ML exploded in a fiery flash of light, getting Joey back on his feet, with a singed shirt. ML glowed and reshaped back to normal, even though it was apparent he burnt himself with the attack.
"Bwahahaha! You people are soooo entertaining." The red eyed teen laughed, hugging his chest. He was covered mostly in black, , with some green on the chest and arms. His head was covered by a bulky metal helmet with two green spikes shooting out. A long, shredded black cape and cowl was added to his back, to show the figure's over-whelming dread. He was terror. He was fear. He was.
"Hello, Shadow Cell." ML yawned. Shadow Cell fell over in mock shock.
"Don't Hi me, you runt! I am the best duelist around, and you know it!" Shadow Cell yelled in ML's face, who calmly ignored him as he scrimmaged around in the rice bowl for unpleasant pieces.
"That's nice, so go away, I'm not dueling. Cards are for wimps anyways." ML said, fixing the tarp.
"I'll let that pass, you have a lower power level in terms of fics anyways. Well then, I guess I'll take on this chump instead, seeing that he has a Duel Disk. You look familiar by the way." He said, referring to Joey. Joey flashed a grin at his opponent, he was ready to go.
"So, let's duel this thing already! I'm full up and ready to fight!" Joey said, taking out his cards. ML shook his head in disappointment at Joey's actions, 'Boy, he doesn't realize how much trouble he's getting into.'
The two launched their duel disks and faced off, and of course, Mr. Referee stopped by, by car swerving to miss the two and crashed into the rail. He stepped out of the slowly burning car and posed. "Then it's agreed! Joey Wheeler of 2nd DM place, against Shadow Cell of the Hino Tournament semifinals! Duelists ready? It's time to d-d-d-d-duel!" The car exploded behind him, knocking him over the edge, but the duelists and patient overseer didn't even notice.
**** Name: ShadowCell Class:A ATT Power: 2100/1800 Card Deck: 45 cards Card Deck Type: Fighter/Mech Tournament: Hino Tournament-Semifinals 2nd Place Weapon: Twin daggers Specialty: Psychic Power Special Attack: Puppet-Control **********
Joey: J Shadow Cell: S
S: (4000) You'll find out that there's more to me than meets the eye, as I am a powerful duelist intent on absorbing all my foes!
J: (4000) Knock it off already, I know your two-bit kind, and I'll kick your green butt all over!
S: Very well. I start off with Krillian in ATT Mode! (Krillan 1400/900)
J: Yeah? Well I've got Swordman of Landstar! And I place this card face down. (Swordman of Landstar:500 att/1200 def)
S: Is that so? Well then, I also place a card face down and a monster in defense mode.
J: I'll sacrifice my Swordsman of Landstar to summon Panther Warrior, in attack mode! (Panther Warrior 2000/1600)
S: (grins) 'Predictable.'
J: Attack, the bald guy!
S: (flips the card up) Not this time, for I activate the trap Cross Winds, causing your monster to accidentally kill himself. Sorta like a Change of Heart, but modified for TD. My turn, as I flip my defense monster up and sacrifice both Number 18 and Krillan to summon Imperfect Cell!
(Panther Warriors eyes lit up as he slashes himself with his own blade, and explodes into data. The face down card is #18, in which both she and Krillian blow up and a Insectiod-like warrior appears, holding a powerful tail.)
(Imperfect Cell 1900/1600)-EFF:For each 2 monsters he slays will give the duelist a Lv 4 summon.
J: 'Man, that move was so sleazy. If I'm to win.'
S: You'll what? Draw your Scapegoat in order to summon Jinzo?
J: 'How did he know!?!'
S: I'm not some amateur psychic like Roba and Mai, because of my rank, I can draw a certain life force to inspire my power in the cards. I am one of many people known as Author's beings capable of creating and destroying alternate universes, and I selected the power of the mind to read your thoughts and do a special trick I have pulled on boneheads like you.
J: (his hand uncontrollably comes up and draws Alligator's Sword, and slaps it down on the field.) What the!?
S: Hee hee hee. I'm controlling your unoccupied hand, since the other has your cards, and by looking through your eyes, I can draw any card I want so it can be destroyed! There's no law against it, so I'm not worried. Now, Imperfect Cell, attack! (Alligator's sword is now an appetizer)
J: (4000- 3800 LP) 'Oh man. I gotta..'
S: Draw a new card? Fat chance, I know every card in your deck now!
J: (again without control draws Baby Dragon from his deck and places it up in attack mode)
S: Bwahahaha! PH33R MY L33T P0W3R! Attack again, Imperfect Cell! (Baby Dragon is now shish kabob)
J:Arrrgh! (LP 3800-3100) 'So strong! How the heck do I..'
S: Counter it? You can't! I now summon Nappa in Attack mode! As well as lay the magic Card, Cocoon of Evolution on Imperfect Cell! In five turns he will turn into his ultimate form!
(Imperfect Cell 1900/1300-1900/3300)
(Nappa 1600/1200)-If destroyed, allow one LV 5 summon.)
J: (His hand places down a trap card, Shadow Cell grins)
S: Attack, Nappa! (Nappa charges in blindly)
J: I don't know what I drew, but I bet it's good! Alright, you selected Trap Hole, killing any monster below 1000!
(Nappa falls in, but the hole explodes in a flash of light as a new warrior appears.
S: Hah. What you did was allow me to gain a LV 5 card without summons. Nappa has the special effect on higher personnel. For I now summon Vegeta! (Vegeta pops up and flares anger through ki)
(Vegeta 2400/1900)-Can fire on two monsters at a time
J: 'Darn it! Serenity's never going to speak to me again if I don't win! There has to be a way.(spies ML's food)'
S: 'Odd, I can't pick up any more thoughts. Might as well make him draw a really low monster so I can end this' (tries, but is unable) The hell?
J: (drooling at the thought of more rice, SC falls over in surprise) Looks like I found a way to bypass your mind control. (draws a card) And thanks for the tip, as I use Scapegoat and use two of them to summon Parasite Queen!
(The four goats appear on the field and two of them glow and turn into the viciously ugly Parasite Quee)
S: W-what? 'Impossible! No mortal has survived my technique! But this is nothing less from the reincarnated Pharaoh's loyal bodyguard.' (Parasite drops a egg out of her sack)
J: And look, she's laying a egg. Once it's ready, she'll absorb it into her ATT.
S: Hmmph! Vegeta, attack!
(Vegeta launches out with his Final Flash, but one of the horned bushes jumps in the way of the blast before it could envelop the group)
J: (draws a card) Oops, you shot down one of my Scapegoats, sorry! You should have known that those things could only be shot one at a time. And it looks like another egg came out the hatch. I'll put a monster in defense mode now.
S: 'Only one scapegoat' I place a card face down and attack your last Scapegoat!
(Vegeta warily throws a small ki ball, enough to pop the fuzzy guy)
J: Looks like I hit the jackpot. (The third egg pops out)
S: What are you talking about, I'm about to crush your queen!
J: Nope, you aren't today! I shift Time Wizard to attack mode! Since he can't affect Parasite Queen, I'm going straight for her eggs, and break your defense! Time Wizard, Time Roulette! (Drode's Notes: I hate to butt in, but I hate this routine. It takes what? 9 minutes in the show for it to stop? Not a chance, we'll just say it landed on the Time Machine for now. Oh, and three insect cards popped up, as well as a old geezer with a nearly bald head.)
S: No! Vegeta now has 1/3 of his strength left, and Imperfect Cell.(grins evilly)
(Vegeta 800/300)
(Imperfect Cell 1900/700-2500/1900)
J: What's with the look on your face? My Parasite Queen is about to suck in all three basic Insect cards and you have a sappy grin.
S: You fool! You sped up Cell's growth, he was protected all along by the Cocoon!
(Perfect Cell 2500/1900):Absorbs ATT of any monster less or equal to it's ATT
J: Oh geeze!
S: That's right. GAME OVER! Perfect Cell! Drain Vegeta to match Parasite Queen!
(PC touches Vegeta with his palm, causing him to explode into pink ooze all over the arena. Joey makes a face of disgust)
(Perfect Cell 3300/2300)
J: Man, Mac, that was disgusting! I put a card face down and have my Queen absorb all three Insects.
(Parasite Queen 3300/2100)
S: Now! Perfect Cell! Use your special ability to absorb Parasite Queen!
J: (flips the card over) Not this time, I activate trap card, Kunai with chain! Which not only paralyzes your monster, it adds 700 ATT to Parasite Queen!
(The weapon shoots out from the facedown monster in defense, or in Joey's case, his "Flame Manipulator")
(M/N: Duh, of course he has it to summon Flame Swordsman, otherwise he has no chance) and ensnares Perfect Cell, freezing him in place)
S: But that means!
(Parasite Queen 4000 ATT DEF 2100 DEF)
J: Oh yeah! Higher than your Cell, and ready to do damage! Parasite Queen, Tendril Cutter!
S: (LP 4000- 3300) Oh dear.
J: And now, I order my queen to directly attack your life points!
(A large tendril strikes Shadow Cell in the stomach, shoving him with the force of a fright train. He falls head over feet several tines before stopping in a mangled clump, dizzy from the impact.)
S: (LP 3300- 0) Aaaah! The agony of defeat!
J: No one messes with Joey Wheeler's mind! Boo yah!
Mr. Referee: (getting in the middle of it, after climbing the bridge, sore and tired) Life Points distinguished! The winner of this round goes to Joey Wheeler!
*****End Battle***
ML made a soft sigh as Joey came to Shadow Cell, and held out his hand as a sign of friendship, "Good match, you really put me on the ropes there."
Shadow Cell accepted the handshake, although nearly crushing Joey's hand, "You as well, you were dueling at your best, I can give you that. I hope to meet you in the semi-finals, I have extra cards in store for you." He took out his Perfect Cell card and kissed it, then handed it to Joey in awkward defeat. He turned and walked away, into the glare of the sun. 'Even though I had a Reinforcements Magic Card for my next turn' was Cell's last thoughts before leaving, and smoked a fire hydrant with one finger.
"Shadow Cell, man of a thousand mysteries." ML whispered to himself, and then looked at Joey, who was helping himself to more rice bowls, "And then there's Joey, man of a thousand stomachs. At least I have business."
Old abandoned warehouse near Kaiba Corp.
'Free at least! I have to save Mokuba from Pegasus!' Kaiba thought, emerging out the doors in full sprint. He had successfully used his duel disk's sharp edge in order to cut the restricting wire bonds, and subdued the hyper guard in charge with a powerful roundhouse kick.
WRRRR! WRRRR! WRRRR! Two giant metal creatures that looked like rabbits jumped in front of his path. He turned to see three more blocking the way he came in, and from the way they looked, Kaiba knew that he shouldn't have pushed his luck. Especially when a mini-tv opened on their stomachs, and the grinning face of Pegasus appeared.
"Pegasus!" Kaiba growled, "Where the heck have you taken my brother! For if I find out you touched a hair on him I'll-"
"Relax Kaiba-boy, we have your little brother right on board the battleship. All you have to do is get 10 locator cards to find it, and then duel me one-on-one. But I must warn you, the area you're in has dozens of eliminator droids, as well as a packet of hard-core TD fighters. Of course, I'm allowed to injure you since you're in my battle city now." Pegasus said, as the goons raised their arms and fired curved gold rods. They wrapped around Kaiba and pinned him to the ground. Kaiba struggled hard to break them, but they were constricting too hard, and breathing become hard. He felt very light headed in a matter of seconds.
"Like it, Kaiba-boy?" Pegasus taunted, knowing full well of Kaiba's problem, "It's made of a new metal that Globex makes, which is the equivalent to Kryptonite to TD duelists. Normal humans would be tortured through their wildest dreams, and collapse of heart failure. It is my personal weapon for my 'Bun Slayers'."
"Not so fast! Tekage no Jutsu!" The sky turned dark in a hurry, as a couple dozen flashes of light struck out from the sky. Flit! Flit! Flit! 3 fast objects went through the cable part without stopping, cutting away Kaiba's bondage from what appeared to be inches. Turning his head slightly, Kaiba could see that they were still going, straight at the warehouse he escaped from.
CRRASH! The three hit dead on with the side, imploding the texture of it to lean the full weight on itself, resulting in a pile-up of steel and wood. The teenage boy with the capsule corp. jacket overlooked the chaos, and smirked as the warehouse caught on fire, the smoke caused the antennas on the bots to broke, cutting off Pegasus's air time.
"I suggest you put your arms down, or I'll cut them off as well with my specially designed cards. They're even more lethal at close range." The black-haired boy said, dropping down to eye level, his yellow boots absorbed impact. His face was purely calm, but his black pupils showed anger, pain, and sorrow inside.
Ka-Ching! He drew out his sword from it's sheath, the hilt was covered in gold. It was long and sharp, but had a thin point at the end, capable of shredding steel at a single point of contact.
"Just who do you think you are, barging on our parade?" The suits opened, revealing muscular, grown men in Funny Bunny costumes, with jet black dueling disks. They were certainly not happy to see the hero.
"I am the 2nd top Toonami duelist in Japan, and you have worn out your welcome by threatening to kill Seto Kaiba." The teen said, ready to get chopping.
"Boy, I don't care what your rank is, but what our plan was to injure him." The two didn't even flinch as Kaiba broke free and stood up glaring.
"Then what honor is there? I force you two to a tag match Toonami Duel!" The teen declared, his sword pointed up to flash sunlight in a very heroic pose.
"Fine kid, we have the best deck in Pegasus's inventory anyways. He calls it the Labyrinth of Darkness deck." The two smiled evilly, knowing the match was in the bag.
'Labyrinth of Darkness? I never heard of such a deck before, Pegasus must have worked overtime to make something to defeat me quick. Still, should I help this guy? He saved my life, but do I really have to?' Seto thought to himself, plotting his latest escape.
"Kaiba." Seto turned to face the stern eyes of the mysterious duelist, "Don't get discouraged about me, these two may have a somewhat decent deck (M/N: Especially when you can buy one for less than 5 bucks at hobby shops), but with faith in the cards, I am sure that victory is imminent."
'What the heck, I have nothing to lose at the moment.' "We accept your challenge!" Seto said, but with a bit less vigor to his attitude.
"LET'S DUEL!" came the combined cry, as dark clouds began to form overhead, cackling with lightning. A calm figure watched from the rooftops, the wind calmly blowing his black hair.
"Well now, it's time to see if the man who designed the game can win this round." Phantom Mask said to himself, awhile pulling out a dozen locator cards, "He'll have to work more than ever to beat me, and with his girl in Globex's clutches, I imagine this will be quite the match. But first."
Grimm Cemetery
"This looks like the place, the Duel Tracker 2003 is usually never wrong." Snap thought to himself as he clicked the blinking red light on his disk for the fifth time since arriving. After a hard and violent struggle with his parents, he relogged in and checked for a signal.
"Go back." A dreary, haunting sound reached his ears.
"Say what? Who's there?" Snap couldn't tell at all where the sound was coming from, so he brought out his rifle for combat.
"Go back."
"Hey what is this? Some sort of surround-sound system or what?"
"This is your last warning."
"And I'm warning you, get out of my way your annoying voice!"
FWIIIIIP! FWIIIIIP! FWIIIIP! About a dozen thorned vines erupted from the ground and wrapped around this most sensitive body parts. Several moans were heard as rotted corpses broke free from their coffins, and started to crawl towards Snap. But that wasn't all, all the tombstones had his name on it.
"NOOOO!" His aura flashed like a blazing purple fire that consumed him, melting the vines and turning them into ashes. The field of burning energy flared out like a massive bomb drop, incarnating anything in it's dome-shaped path. The zombies exploded like popcorn bags, splattering all over the grass and melting into nothing. (M/N: Hey, I wanted the flesh and blood to fall on the guy, but for some reason SH wants the PG rating. Guy's a hopeless case when it comes to FF.net rules.) All that was left of the cemetery was burned grass and one very annoyed teenage girl in Goth clothes.
"Look at this mess! I worked half the day getting the vines and corpses to attack on cue, and what do you do? You burn my playing field! How is a Class A dark duelist supposed to work on a empty field with no distractions!" Gothie Shie yelled, her head grew the size of a bus to produce the proper yelling. Her shirt was covered in soot, thanks to the blast. She was very, very po'ed now.
Snap sweat-dropped, "I plead the fifth?" KA-THWACK! Mallet pummel!
"Jerk." Shie muttered as she picked up her broken wood mallet off Snap's semi-conscious head, and calmly walked away in contempt.
"Chicken." Snap sneered, even though his body was at the moment 2 feet into the dirt. A vein pop appeared on Shie's head, and she stopped mid- stride.
"W-what was that?" she growled, her power aura flared emerald, causing the dead trees to regrow and spawn sharp branches, awhile the pebbles on the ground floated up and remolded back into solid tombstones. The sky turned dark as coal, and a freezing gust of wind picked up gathering around Shie as if it were her mother. "No one crosses my line, but you broke it. PREPARE TO DUEL!!!" The winds shot out from her, as the landscape turned barren and frozen, shaped from the power of the supernatural.
A large figure in a black cloak and carrying a oar came over, and studied the two, then took off the robe in a transformation scene that would make small boys cry. That's right, kiddies, Mr. Referee's doing a "Botan" cosplay for you fans out there. (M/N:and a reason to boost ratings, I hope) "Then it's agreed! This authorization battle is a Non-tribute Card Match. Because of your TD status, you are given a 30 minute time limit, best wishes to both of you!" He took off the disgusting pink kimono and span around a few times before swinging his arm down, throwing a capsule. Which of course turned into a Judge, exploding on contact. (M/N: And thus the shields went up, the jude said the same words from last chapter blah, blah, blah and let's start this already!)

*********FIGHT!**********
G: (4000) I'll start off first, and summon Maiden of the Lake in def mode! Att 600 DEF 1700
S: (4000) Piece of cake! I summon Kamidake: Warrior Mode! And I place this card face down. 1600/1300
G:I now switch the Maiden to attack mode, and use her special ability to smash in your life points! (The maiden transforms into Gastly and fires a Shadow Ball at Snap)
S: Nope! Trap card activate! Life Defender! (The Juraian warrior pulls out his staff (M/N: Eww) and spins it, causing the Shadow Ball to cancel out)
G:Drat! I discard the Maiden and summon Teen Koenma! I place these two cards face down and order a attack. Teen Koenma 1900/1500 (He pulls out a written document with Kamidake's name and stamps it, killing Kamidake immediately)
S: (draws a card) (4000-3700) Well done, I now summon the castle of Dark Illusions in defense mode, and place two cards face down as well. Oh, and the Castle, improved bt TD standards, can increase the attack and defense of any monster by 200 for 4 turns! (Castle of Dark Illusions 920/1930)
G: (draws a card) Getting edgy I see. I place a monster in defense mode, and place one more card down.
S: (draws a card) Eye for an eye, I always say. Or a monster in defense mode and a face down card.
G: (draws a card as well) I'll pass, my hand is ready for you anyways.
S: HA! I'll try the old "Life Snatch" technique! I play the magic card Tremendous Fire! This inflicts 1000 of Direct Damage to your LP! (A giant fireball shoots out from Snap's side)
G: The old direct attack huh? I unflip my face down element card, Trap Defect! It cancels out your attack for 1 turn. (The fireball is put out and deleted)
S: (draws a new card) Hmmph. At least I had no side effects. I now reveal my face down card, Elephantor and place it in defense mode! (Elephantor 1500/2800) and I combine it with Angel Gate, which boosts it's defense 400 per turn! (Elephantor 1500/3200)
G: (draws a card) Looks like I need a better hand. Oh well, activate monster into ATT mode! (Haunter 1300/700) and combine it with the living arrow and my other element card Jack In! Combined, they can be launched directly at your LP! (Haunter shoots out and strikes Snap in a devastating explosion) S: (3700-2400) (draws a card)'Jackpot!' You may have wounded me, but I'm about to get serious. I place a card face down.'I'll need it for later.' (Elephantor 1500/3600)
G: (draws a new card and grins) Sadly, Jack In requires a one turn standby, but I have a new card in store for your demise! But first I'll withdraw Teen Koenma to make room. (T. Koenma disappears) S: Time for a defense makeover! As I place the element card Gate-Shield Advanced! This card boosts 800 DEF to my Elephantor for the LP I take off you! (Elephantor 1500/4000)
G:Are you blind? I haven't lost any points yet! I play a element card Triple Play! Which allows me to summon 3 Class 3 cards in attack mode! Combine your powers to shatter his shield! (Draws three random cards from her deck) (Yusuke 2100/1500) (Kurama 1600/1700) (Hiei 1800/800) (The three fire their respective attacks, but the Elephantor's shield activates and seems to absorb them)
S: (draws a card) Nope, you just made a small puncture, as your monsters were too weak to break it being spiritual instead of mech, causing the DEF to raise because of the LP you lost! I'll lay a monster in defense mode and one card face down, ending my turn. (Elephantor 1500/4800)
G: (4000-2500) (draws a new card, and her face lights up) 'A ritual card, perfect timing Yami magic!' Heh heh! You're in big trouble now! I found a way to crush you like the wyrm you are! As I now play.(slaps the card down face up) Chaos Z Gate! In which I now summon my most POWERFUL Toonami warrior on the field by sacrificing all three of my warriors! Behold! As I summon now Togoro, a Demon who is by far the strongest Land Toonami God Card around! (Togoro 6000/4500)-Can destroy one Mech Card per turn (Togoro is the big bulky guy with the killer glasses from YYH, and is extremely powerful. I thought that by adding him it would compliment the guy who made him)
S: Excellent.
G: Is that all you have to say before my manly man? We are two peas in a pod, hoping to dispose of filth like you .Togoro, will you please kill this loser before I do it for you? Finishing K.O. Crusher! (Togoro flares up his battle aura as his muscles become armor-like and thick, his neck spreads up as muscles cover his shirtless body head to toe, and then runs full out to punch the barrier in)
S: Ha! You fell into the most complicated trap of Toonami Duel!
G: Say what?
S: Behold, as the Wall of Illusions special effect activates now! (Togoro hits the Wall and is sucked in and the card is thus discarded) And because it is a LAND based card, it will be transported back to the top of your deck regardless of rank!
G: But that means.Oh no! I have no monsters out on my field except Teen Koenma in my hand! I'll have to summon him again for right now. There's no way you'll win and I'll get two other warriors to summon my God Card, as well as another Chaos Z Gate in my deck to crush you! (Koenma appears again, only a bit tired from being recalled)
S: Not today! I now activate the powers of the magic Card Shield and Sword, which swaps ATT with DEF, making my Elephantor a behemoth of raw power! (the field shakes as the two sizzle and fiz) (Elephantor 5200/1500) (Teen Koenma 1500/1900)
S: Now! Time to finish her off and collect my prize! Elephantor, Arc-Tic Slash!
G:Noooo! (TheElephantor's trunk opens to reveal a green energy sword and it swings down on poor Koenma with a massive explosion that blows up most of the graveyard, and the Judge deactivates from the battle) (2500-0)
Mr. Referee: Life Points Extinguished, the Winner is Snap! --------------------------------End Battle---------------------------------- ----------------------
"Looks like I win by a nose." Snap said to him, brushing off the dirt from the explosion, "That will teach everyone not to mess with the Elephantor Duelist." He glanced around the now burnt field and noticed Shie was unconscious, her head was at a unnatural angle, as the blast had twisted it. 'Revenge time.' Snap thought, as a small PK7 pistol appeared in his hand, 'Globex may kill me, but at least I'm avenging my family.'
FWIIIIP! A vine shot out from the ground, wrapped around the gun, pulled it out of his hand, and shot back into the ground before Snap could blink. Shie's eyes opened and glowed purple at the same moment, and then closed. Her rare Togoro card fell out of her abandoned deck, and the dead wind lifted it and flew it right to Snaps open hand.
{Snap} Shie's voice spoke telepathically in Snap's head {I know you want to kill me, but now is not the right time, I can't explain it right now but.} Her voice trailed off as her entire body turned into purple light and turned into a ball, shooting past him in a flash towards the city.
'I was so close!' Snap stomped in anger, causing major tremors in the Earth, one of which opened a fault line on he other side of the world, 'I had her, but she knocked it out of my hand and teleported to the nearest clinic! Darn her!' However, in his rumbling rampage of anger, he realized he had the card in his hands and stopped thundering. Upon further examination, he smiled at the smug look on Togoro's face, and laughed. Of course, this didn't amuse the neighbor's around the now vacant lot, as one of them threw a brick, thinking he was a stray cat meowing. There he laid, down and out at least till the next duel. ___________________________________________________________________________
SH: Good! I finally finished! And in a month's time! Drode: Good for you.(takes out a large bundle of scripts) SH: What's that? Drode: Duh, it's your list of unfinished Fics you never finished or started. I think about oh 128 has been made by you but never completed. SH: (sweatdrop) Drode, you're the reason I never finished them, they were ideas stolen from other authors. Drode: Of course, what kind of author doesn't take inspiration from others.
