Part II: The first tribute match: Darkness, arise!
Knight is now in his house, looking at his Duel Disk
Knight: Well. let's see how this thing works. Ok, I'll just switch it on.
The screen of the Disk glows. words appear there
Knight: Insert deck. All right, let's put it in place. select mode. let's start with Testing. all right. So, I have to summon something. well. this will do! Lord of Darkness!
Nothing happens
Knight: Oh, I forgot! Tribute. all right, Snake Hair! What the!!!! That's a real medusa, not a hologram!
Knight tries to touch the monster, however, his hand don't sense anything
Knight: That's a good hologram! It looks much realer than the monsters generated on a Duel Field! I can even smell it! Well. now, Lord of Darkness!
A twister engulfs the medusa. an enormous knight with black armor and a red cape appears. He is wielding a two-handed black rune-covered sword
Knight: All right. now let's try some magic. Polymerization! Lord of Darkness and Dark Magician, fuse! Form the Evil Warlock!
The knight disappears. a black chaos star appears when it was standing. the shape of an human covered in armor holding not a sword, but a mace and a staff appears.
Knight: It works perfectly! All right. I should go and duel somebody. I think I have time for my first victory. with my new deck!
Knight leaves the house, the moon has just appeared in the sky.however, when he has just walked a few steps, he hears something.
Knight: People dueling. well. I'll go there. I'll duel the winner.
Near Knight's house, two people are having a duel with their Discs. however, it seems that it is about to finish.
???: Say goodbye. I tribute my Dragon and play the Mage Skeleton (2400/0) Attack! Death Magic!
The skeleton raises his hand. Green energy starts to glow.
Boy: noooo!
The Skeleton points at the boy. the green energy engulfs him.
???: 7200 Boy: 0
Boy: Nooo! I have lost my only locator card!! Nooo!!!
???: And your Snatch Steal card. hand it over!
Boy: nooo! That's my favorite card! Don't get it, please!
???: I have won that card! Give it to me, now!
The boy throws the card to his opponent and then runs away.
???: two locator cards now . hehe. This poor guy didn't know how t play with tributes, yet
Knight: Hey, you, how about a duel?
???: I don't have time for you. Xavier Knight! Well. it will be a pleasure. (Lucky me! I won't have to search him!) My name is Bones
Knight: Bones, huh. well, then let's duel!
Knight: Let's start!
Bones: Duel Discs Ready!
Knight: 8000 Bones: 8000
Bones: I'll play first! Clown Zombie in attack! (1350/0)
Knight (Clown Zombie??? That's a really bad start. but he hasn't got any sets so. I'll use one of my 4-star new monsters) Mechanicalchaser! (1850) Attack that Zombie!
Knight: 8000 Bones: 7500
Bones: ouch. you got me there! Now. a monster in defense position!
Knight: Then. Vorse Raider in attack position! I attack your set monster with the Chaser.
Bones: You killed my poor Armored Zombie!
Knight: And Direct Snap you with the Raider!
Knight: 8000 Bones: 5600
Bones: All right. I set a monster and I'll just put a face down card.
Knight: (This is what I call an easy match.) All right! I tribute the Chaser! Go, Summoned Skull! Attack!
Bones: nope. I activate my Trap Hole.
Knight: I'll just set a card and kill your set monster with the Raider, then.
Bones: My dragon zombie dies, then.
Knight: And now, Dark Berserker, attack again, Vorse Raider!
Knight: 8000 Bones: 3700
Bones: All right, you have fallen into the trap I was preparing! I'm going to change the Field with this card! The Necromancer's Tower!
(Necromancer's Tower: Field magic: Raise the attack of all zombies by 500 and decrease their defense to 0. If there is any zombie on a player's Graveyard, he may revive it during his turn, but just once each turn)
The duel discs of the duelists generate holograms around them. now they are dueling in an old graveyard. a great tower stands near them
Bones: Now I have got three zombies in play! I tribute the Clown Zombie to bring out the Skeleton Mage! I strike you!
(Skeleton Mage: 2400/0 Zombie/Dark, six Stars)
Knight: Negate Attack!
Bones: then, your go!
Knight: (that's a powerful field. however, I have the perfect medicine for that!) Millennium Pendant, activate!
The field remains there, however, the Pendant doesn't do anything.
Knight: (Darn it! He has played I as a magic card! The Pendant allowed me to annulate the fields of Duelist's Kingdom, but it seems it can't do anything against the fields played normally!)
Bones: And? What is supposed to happen now?
Knight: . I set a card and tribute my Raider for another Summoned Skull! Attack the Armored Zombie!
Knight: 8000 Bones: 3200
Bones: All right! Now you die! I raise my two zombies again! Now I tribute the Skeleton for another Mage Skeleton! Since I hadn't revived the Skeleton yet, I raise it again!
Knight: No! No!
Bones: All monsters, attack! You are dead!
Knight: I trigger my trap! Dark Mists! Now you can Direct Snap me with only a monster this turn! (this card has saved me. this way of dueling is really different!)
Bones: I kill your Summoned Skull with the Mage Skeleton, yet!
Knight: 7600 Bones: 3200
Bones: And now, Direct Snap with the Mage!
Knight:4700 Bones: 3200
Knight: (heck, I have got a Lord of Darkness here and a poly, but I can't poly anything with the cards I have got! And I'm sure he has got a more powerful monster in his deck. so I'm not sure if the Dark Dragon Knight would finish him) *draws* (the Dark Magician!!, great! All right, Bones! Say goodbye to the Field! I play Polymerization! The Dark Magician fuses with the Lord of Darkness to form the Evil Warlock!
Bones: What the.? You can only fuse monsters if you have got at least one of them in the field! Or have you forgotten. oh, no.
Knight: Those are Duelist's Kingdom rules! But now, we aren't there! I can fuse monsters from my hand! Evil Warlock! Absorb the Field! Now attack the Mage Skeleton!
Knight: 4700 Bones: 3100
Knight: I put a face-down card in the field, too! Your go!
Bones: *draws* ha! The card I've just won! Snatch Steal! Now I control your Evil Warlock!, he invokes back the Field! Now, I'll Direct Snap you with all my monsters!
Knight: (I hate to do this.killing my own Warlock.) Mirror Force! All your monsters are killed! And because the Evil Warlock is controlling the Field, it also disappears!
Bones: Darn. I set two traps.
Knight: Sure. I summon the Vorse Raider, and attack you!
Bones: Widespread Ruin! Your monster is killed!
Knight: Oh no!
Bones: And. thanks for telling me that about the Poly. I trigger Call of the Haunted to raise the Mage Skeleton, then use Polymerization to fuse the Snake Hair and the Dragon Zombie into the Great Mammoth of Goldfine (2200/1600) Now Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Dark Mists trap. Attack him!
Knight: 100 Bones: 3100
Knight: (Darn. I lost. this is too much for. *draws* Great! I've got you!) All right, Bones. you got me. I set a monster and put a card face-down. Your go!
Bones: I could summon the Ghostly Dragon. but it will be enough with.
Knight: Word of Command.
Bones: No! Not that card!
Knight: You tribute both your monsters and set your Ghostly Dragon (2900/0). he is face-down but we both know what he is . and now. since you haven't got any more monsters. your go!
Bones: I switch him to attack position and kill your set!!!!
Knight: You killed my Snake Hair. what a pity! Now in my turn. I play Stop Attack, then Monster Reborn to summon the Evil Warlock back. and now. A Mech Chaser. (2350) I kill your Dragon with the Chaser, then Direct Snap you!
Knight: 100 Bones: 100
Bones: . *draws* (. a Dragon Zombie.) All right. I surrender! I can't do anything against your monsters.
Knight: Ok, give me the Locator Card.
Bones: Here it is.
Knight: And now, I claim your Call of the Haunted card!
Bones: My. Call of the Haunted. since Kaiba Corp changed the rules for some cards, this one isn't that good! I don't care a lot! (I thought he was going to pick the Tower.)
Knight: It IS good (Knight adds the card to his deck) You will see. Well. See you other day.
Knight turns round and starts to walk back home.
Knight: (it is late. there won't be any duelists round here until tomorrow. I'll just head home and sleep a bit. tomorrow will be an intense day!)
Bones: (he is good. as good as I expected. now I'll just tell the news to the boss.)
Next chapter: Time for insect smashing! Knight vs. Weevil!
New cards:
(Most of Knight's cards have appeared in a Knight of Darkness; here I will display the new ones)
Dark Mists: continuous trap, your opponent can attack you directly with only a monster each turn
Knight is now in his house, looking at his Duel Disk
Knight: Well. let's see how this thing works. Ok, I'll just switch it on.
The screen of the Disk glows. words appear there
