Part IV: The first duel of the paladin! Great Gold Wyrm, Strike!
Two hours later, Knight leaves the shop. he seems to be looking for something.
Knight: (3 Locator Cards. I just need another 3 to enter the Finals. now, where could I find another duelist.? Mmm. Tomorrow is the Dual Tournament. maybe I should go home and prepare my deck for a 2 on 2 match. I know perfectly the deck of my partner so maybe I should change some cards for this.)
Thinking this, Knight heads home.
*meanwhile*
Ryo: (Finally I managed to sign up. That was a long queue. 6 hours yesterday and another 4 today.now, where could I find a good enough duelist? I don't want to crush a child or a novice .)
However, somebody is looking at him.
Pyro: (perfect. now, I should duel somebody, as the boss said. But I don't feel like it. I'll just go and duel him. The boss won't know about it.
Pyro gets closer to Ryo
Pyro: hey! You! The duelist!
Ryo: Who, me?
Pyro: of course! I can't see any other duelists round here. So, are you participating in the Battle City Tournament?
Ryo: of course. Do you want to duel? My name is Ryo.
Pyro: Call me. Pyro. And yes, I want to duel!
Ryo: Pyro??? That's not a real name!
Pyro: Well. I don't give my real name to anybody who hasn't dueled me! However, you will soon know the reason why they call me this way.
Ryo: Well. all right. Then. get ready to fall before the light of my deck.
Pyro: the light of my flames will engulf you! Let's start!
Pyro: 8000 Ryo: 8000
Ryo: I'll start. Dunames Dark Witch in attack position and a face-down card!
Pyro: All right. I play Trained Flame Swordsman!
Ryo: that's a fusion card, Pyro. you can't have it in your deck. it goes in the fusion deck.
Pyro: I said Trained Flame Swordsman, not Flame Swordsman! Trained Flame Swordsman is a 1800/1500 warrior and fire monster! Now I equip it with Burning Bow, which adds 700 to the attack of any fire monster and strike your witch! Attack! Flaming Arrows!
Pyro: 8000 Ryo: 7300
Ryo: That was a good move. but now, look at this! I play Holy Crusader (1900/1200) in attack position and equip it with Lightbringer!
Pyro: Lightbringer??? Oh, no!!!!
Ryo: Lightbringer adds 1000 to the attack of any Light card! Now I have got the power to finish your Swordsman! Crusader! Holy Thunder!
Pyro: 7600 Ryo: 7300
Pyro: All right. now I'll start to play properly! I set a monster and put a card face down!
Ryo: You want to play defensively? Well. you won't do anything against my deck with that techniques. I play Guardian of the Throne Room!
Pyro: Go on.
Ryo: So. no chain. then I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your trap!
Pyro: my. Mirror Force!
Ryo: I strike your monster with the Guardian! Homing missiles!
Pyro: What a pity. you have just killed my Magma Bomb!
Ryo: Magma. what?
Pyro: Magma Bomb. It is an effect monster that kills all monsters in the field when flipped! So you just lost both your light creatures. As you can see. even the strongest creatures of light can't do anything against the great power of fire! Now. I'll just play Darkfire Soldier 1 and strike you!
Pyro: 7600 Ryo: 5600
Ryo: Not bad. but now I play another Dunames Dark Witch in attack position and kill your Darkfire Soldier!
Pyro: 7500 Ryo: 5600
Pyro: I'll just set a monster and put a card face-down, then.
Ryo: Now. You are going to face one of my best combos! I play Graceful Charity. I'll just discard my Great Gold Wyrm and my End of Darkness. if you don't use dark cards, this one is useless. now I play Apocalypse!
Pyro: Apocalypse?????
Ryo: Apocalypse destroys everything on the field if I tribute a light monster! So, I destroy both your cards! Now I summon Holy Crusader and play Monster Reborn!
Pyro: Oh, no!
Ryo: Great Gold Wyrm! Holy Firestorm! Holy Crusader! Holy Thunder!
Pyro: 2800 Ryo: 5600
Pyro: Darn! You are going to pay for this one! (Darn. I don't want to lose! This guy is one of he best I have played.maybe the boss just wants to know about him. But I want to destroy him! *draws* great!!! Now you are going to face the real terror of the flame! You can't do anything against this monster! I play Spirit of Flames from my hand by removing the Darkfire soldier from my graveyard!
Ryo: Is that your best monster? A Spirit of Flames??
Pyro: I haven't finished yet! I use Phoenix's Tail to revive a monster from my graveyard. for example, the Magma Bomb!
(Phoenix's Tail: Revive a monster from your graveyard, you can only cast this card if you have got a fire monster in play)
Pyro: And now, Here goes my best monster! I tribute both my monsters to summon this! Immortal Phoenix!
(Immortal Phoenix: 2900/1000 Fire 8 stars If destroyed by an opponent, Immortal Phoenix is put back in the field at the end of that turn)
Pyro: So. I'll just kill your Witch! Immortal Phoenix! Flaming Wings!
Pyro: 2800 Ryo: 4500
Ryo: *draws* Well. Pyro, you are a great duelist. but I'm going to finish you! I play Polymerization! My Great Gold Wyrm fuses with this Angel Paladin to form the Warrior of Sky! (3500/100) Attack with your Skylance!
Pyro: 2200 Ryo: 4500
Ryo: I put a card face-down too!
Pyro: Mighty Phoenix. rise from your ashes!
Ryo: oh, no! I forgot his special ability!
Pyro: Now, I'm going to use my best card to settle this! I play Raging Volcano!
(Raging volcano: Magic, duplicate the attack of all fire monsters in the field until the end of next turn, if any non fire monster is killed by the attack of a fire monster this turn, remove it from game)
Pyro: Immortal Phoenix! Flaming Wings!
Pyro: 2200 Ryo: 2200
Ryo: (Darn. he got me there. There is only a card which can save me now. and.) *draws* Oh, no. not a Great Gold Wyrm.) I'm all set. I don't play anything!
Pyro: Then be consumed by the flame! Flaming Wings!
Ryo: Last Chance!!!
Pyro: 2200 Ryo: 1
Pyro: What the.??? 1 Lp????
Ryo: Last Chance allows me to play another turn when I lose all my LPs. If I don't win at the end of my turn, I have lost.
Pyro: Then. play.
Ryo: (Come on. I need that card. or this Tournament is over for me. I can't lose.) *draws* (I. did it??) I'm going to end this now! First, I play Lightning Strike! I can play any monster from my hand or graveyard. I select the Angel Paladin!
Pyro: What a pity my Phoenix is a fire monster. not a light one!
Ryo: And now.. The card I have just drawn. Scroll of Bewitchment!
Pyro: oh, no!!!!!
Ryo: I tribute my Angel Paladin to get control of your Phoenix, which is now Light! And now. Flaming Wings!!!!
Pyro: 0 Ryo: 1
Ryo: I win!
Pyro: (darn.my Locator Card.) All right. you got me.Here is your Locator Card
Ryo: I choose the Immortal Phoenix!
Pyro: here you are.. I have got another 2 of them.
Ryo: Great match. *shakes hands with him*
Pyro: I know. Now, I shall take my leave
Ryo: hey, wait! What is your true name???
Pyro: You will soon know.
*Pyro leaves*
Ryo: That was a strange guy.
Somebody else arrives to the place.
Yugi: Ryo!!! I found you.
Ryo: What's the matter, Yugi?
Yugi: Ryo. I want to propose you something. have you heard about the Dual Tournament?
Ryo: Aren't you participating with Joey?
Yugi: Well. not exactly. we should talk about this.

Pyro: I haven't got loc.
Guy: then, sorry
Pyro: Wait. Let's try this. if I win, I get one of your Locator Cards. if you win, you get all my deck. what do you think??
