Part XI: Time for revenge! Red-eyes versus Red-Eyes!
Pegasus: Well. I think that you should go and earn the Locator Cards. we should be qualified for the Finals as soon as possible.
Duke: All right. I'll go to Duelist's Square. lots of duelists go there when they want a challenge.
Knight: I'll go there too. I just need two Locator Cards to be in the finals. see you all.
*meanwhile*
???: All right. this is the Tournament's web page. now, I have got much better cards than the last time. let's see where Knight is. He is not dueling. well. I'll go to Duelist's Square and see if he is there.
*meanwhile*
Yugi: . and that is all, Leon.
Ryo: Do you understand the dangers of our mission? We mustn't let anybody get all the Millennium Items. Because, if that happens. the entire world will be in grave danger!
Leon: I have made a decision. if there is somebody controlling people for his own goals, or reading minds. I must help you! I can't let anything happen. I thought this was just another card game. but I am starting to know its true power. and I can't let anybody use that power for evil! If you ever need my help, just call me!
Ryo: Consider us friends if you need something.
Yugi: We should investigate what does that Marik want. but we can't forget the Battle City Tournament.
Ryo: Let's get all Locator Cards as soon as possible and we will investigate all then. all right?
Yugi: All right!
Leon: All right!
*meanwhile*
Knight: All right. here I am. now, I need to find a decent opponent. Getting Locator Cards from a novice duelist isn't good enough for me. I need good opponents.
Somebody is watching Knight from the shadows
Astarin: (Marik, my lord. should I duel him now?
Marik: No. I want to see him dueling. just watch him and record any duel he plays. do you understand?
Astarin: Yes, master) I could finish you now. my Elven Deck is too much even for you. You will know defeat at my hands, Knight, and the Pendant will be in Master Marik's neck soon.
Knight: Come on. I need to find a good duelist.
Boy1: Hey, isn't that guy Xavier Knight?.
Boy2: I think so. Hey! I'm going to duel him!
Boy1: Are you mad?? Do you want to lose your cards? That guy is a first- class duelist. he hasn't lose a single match.
Boy2: Apart from the Dual Tournament.
Boy1: All right. just a duel in a year. do you think you can beat that kind of duelist???
Boy2: .
Knight: Darn it! If I can't find a decent duelist. I'll have to duel kids. and I won't get good cards from little kids
???: Are you searching for a duel, Knight.?
Knight: I am. are you a duelist? Hey! Rex Raptor! How are you, novice? Does the beating I gave you in Duelist's Kingdom still hurt?
Rex: This time. I am going to destroy you! Let's duel!!
Knight: And why should I duel a pathetic novice like you? You have probably lost all your Locator Cards now.
Rex: I have got three of them, so bite your tongue!
Knight: Three. I have got four.well. I can't let you have that number of Locator Cards. You will have two in an hour.
Rex: So, let's start our duel! My Red-Eyes Black Dragon and my Serpent Night Dragon want to kill! And, in an hour, you will have just three Locator Cards and your Word of Command will be in my deck.
Knight: Your Red-Eyes Black Dragon will have a worthy master before the day ends! He will be my fourth one. but I will treat him properly, don't worry about that!
Rex: Duel Disc ready!
Knight: 8000 Rex: 8000
Rex: I'll start! I play Two-Headed King Rex in attack position and put a card face-down.
Knight *draws* (hehe.great. let's see how can Rex. handle this) All right! I'm going to transform your Two-Headed King Rex into the Beheaded King Rex! Vorse Raider in attack position! Vorse Raider! Savage Axe!
Knight: 8000 Rex: 7700
Knight: Now, two cards face-down. your turn.
Rex: All right. let's play properly *draws* (my red-eyes!!! Perfect. but I'll use him later. now.) I play Crawling Dragon 2 in attack position and play this card! Lost Valley!
Knight: A field. hehe. don't you use the Mountain Field, Rex?
Rex: This is a much better field.
(Lost Valley: Add 500 to the attack of all dinosaurs and dragons. Dragons and Dinosaurs may be played as if their level was 2 stars lower)
Rex: Ha! What do you think about this! My Crawling Dragon can crush your little warrior easily now! And I know that your non-tribute monsters are mostly warriors and machines. so you won't be able to kill my monsters! Ha! Crawling Dragon! Crush him!
Knight: 7800 Rex: 7700
Knight: Good move, Rex. but you have forgotten that I have got Magic cards! Harpie's Feather Duster!
Rex: and you have forgotten that I have added new cards to my deck! Magic Jammer! I discard my little Anthrosaurus.
Knight: Darn it. All right. I set a monster.
Rex: all right. my go! Thanks to the Lost Valley, I can play the Sword Arm of Dragon without tributing anything! Its attack is 2250! Now, I'll destroy your set monster with the Crawling Dragon and then attack you directly!
Knight: 5550 Rex: 7700
Rex: What's the matter? Can't you do anything against my cards? Why don't you surrender?
Knight: Come on. the duel has just started. or do you think I am not ready for these kind of things? I trigger one of my traps, Call of the Haunted, to revive my Vorse Raider. and now, I tribute it to invoke a great monster! The Summoned Skull! With 2500 attack points, this demon can crush your little crawling dragon!!!! Attack! Dark Claw!
Knight: 5550 Rex: 7300
Knight: And now, Dark Berserker! I can attack again with a dark monster! So, say goodbye to your other Dragon! Dark Claw!
Knight: 5550 Rex: 7050
Rex: All right. *draws* I set a monster!
Knight: All right, I play the Snake Hair in attack position. I strike your set monster with its petrifying gaze
Rex: oh, no! My Little D!
Knight: And now, attack you directly with my Summoned Skull!
Knight: 5550 Rex: 4550
Knight: Do you want to surrender, or are you going to continue this duel? You can't do anything against my monsters!
Rex: *draws* I can! I play Premature Burial to raise the Two-headed King Rex!
Knight: That monster isn't powerful enough to best my Summoned Skull. and if you are planning to tribute it, the only 1-tribute monster which can stand a chance against the Skull is the Cyber-Tech Alligator! And I'm sure you don't have that card in your deck!
Rex: You have forgotten the field! I play Serpent Night Dragon using the Rex as a tribute! Its attack is 2850 thanks to my field! Powerful enough to destroy your Skull! Attack!!!
Knight: 5200 Rex: 3750
Knight: All right. *draws* (darn it.) I set a monster and put a card face- down!
Rex: You forgot to switch your Snake Hair to defense! Oh, by the way, if you think I am going to be THAT stupid, I'm not planning to attack! *draws* wait. maybe I will do it, after I play Mystical Space Typhoon on your card!
Knight: That was my Shadow Pit! I could have stopped your attack!
Rex: But you cannot do it now. what a pity I don't have any other monsters in my hand! But, I will kill your Snake Hair! Serpent Night Dragon, attack!!!
Knight: 3850 Rex: 3750
Knight: *draws* Rex. do you know the problem of using Fields?
Rex: I know, if the other player has a Field card, he can play it and destroy your field. but you don't have any field cards in your deck, so you can't destroy it!
Knight: No. the problem of using fields is that the other player can use it too. that means that my monsters receive the same bonuses from the field as yours! I switch my monster to attack!
Rex: That is not a dragon!
Knight: Correct! It is the Man-Eater Bug!
Rex: Oh, no! That kills my Serpent Knight Dragon (well. it doesn't matter a lot. I will summon him back with the Monster Reborn next turn.)
Knight: And now, I tribute the Man-Eater Bug to summon your own best monster! Red-Eyes Black dragon!! (2900)
Rex: That requires two tributes, not.! Oh. my field.
Knight: Red-Eyes Black Dragon! Hell Beam!!!
Knight: 3850 Rex: 950
Knight: Your go.
Rex: All right. time to use one of my best cards! I play Monster Reborn to bring out the mighty Serpent Night Dragon! But it won't stay a lot of time in the field.
Knight: Only a turn. before it gets beaten by my Red-Eyes
Rex: it will stay less. because I tribute my Dragon to summon my own Red- Eyes Black Dragon! Now our attacks are tied!
Knight: That's right *draws* (A Poly. if I had the Summoned Skull or the Lord of Darkness. but the only strong monster in my hand is the Dark Magician. and that card is useless if we are playing in this field.) I am all set! Your go!
Rex: *draws* Ha! Perfect! Say goodbye!! I play Two-Headed King Rex from my hand and now, nails of Dragon on my Red-Eyes!
Knight: Oh, no! That makes your dragon 800 points stronger than mine!
Rex: That's true. now, I'll just have to destroy your monster with the Red- Eyes and then direct attack you!!
Knight: 950 Rex: 950
Rex: Who is the novice now? This duel is over for you! And if you lose your best card, you won't qualify for the Finals
Knight: You haven't seen all the power of my deck yet.
Rex: Come on, this time you won't summon Xiddon, like you did in Duelist's Kingdom! You don't have enough cards in your hand
Knight: Rex. I'm going to finish you this turn. and I'll do it with a fusion. you will see
Rex: Sure. come on. play your last turn.
Knight: All right. (if I always get the card I need in these situations. I should get it now. *draws* I knew it. but. why? Why do I always draw the card I need? I don't believe in that Heart of the Cards. what is happening? Well. I'll finish this duel and I'll find out later. Rex! Say goodbye! Polymerization!
Rex: What are you going to summon, a Fusionist?
Knight. It is called Evil Warlock!
Rex: Oh, no!!!!!!
Knight: You know what is going to happen, don't you? I'll absorb the field.
Rex: (no. not again.)
Knight: Evil Warlock, crush his Rex with your Shadow Plane Rift!
Knight: 950 Rex: 0
Knight: Obviously, you are not worthy of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. hand it over!
Rex: No. why do you want that card??? You have got three of them!!! You don't need any more red-eyes! Have my Serpent Night Dragon, please, but don't take that card!!
Knight: I don't want your Red-Eyes for my deck. I think that a novice duelist like you don't deserve that card.the Red-Eyes is coming with me!
Rex: I won't give it.
Knight runs at Rex and punches him. when Rex is lying on the ground, Knight picks Rex's deck and chooses a card
Knight: Your Red-Eyes is mine.
Rex: why. why.
Knight: Well, Rex. I have got 5 Locator Cards and you have got just 2. so. I don't think I'll see you in the finals. You'll have to wait for another Tournament to face me!
Rex: .
Knight: (done. I'll just need to duel somebody. but. I have to discover why do I draw the correct card when I need it. I would never cheat. but I can't control this. maybe it has something to do with.
