Authours Note: This fic is inspired bt a fantastic piece of Harvest Moon artwork of Jack and Elli. I "borrowed" a match script form a Yu-Gi-Oh episode cause I'm so lame in inventing my own. Also I wrote this chapter in the week that I had the flu so some of it may not sound sense.
Pairing: Jack/Elli
Chapter 2
It had been a week since Jack and Elli had became romantically involved; Jack was taking the day off, he had already done all of the days chores already, the harvest sprites were tending to the animals. The other day Kai challenged him to a Duel Monsters (Yu-Gi-Oh) match; a new TCG game called Duel monsters had gripped the town the previous year and mostly everyone was palying it in thier free time. The mayor had recently had made built a dueling arena built in Rose Square, when in use it comes up from under the square from a retractable platform (a tennis court size platform in the middle of the square retracts and up comes the dueling stadium, in otherwords the dueling arena is hidden under Rose square and bought up by machine). Jack picks up the deck that he constructed the other night and walked out of the farm towards Rose square.
All of the shops were closed besides Doug's inn, everybody was in the square for the match. Kai was already on his podium, Jack walked towards his, Elli was there waiting for him.
"Hi" Elli smiled "This is for good luck" she smiled as she kissed him the crowed did an extended 'woooo' Jack blushed as he rose up onto his podium
Jack begins the duel by playing a facedown card, and a monster facedown in defence. Kai asks if the monster might be a Beaver Warrior. Kai draws, and also plays a card facedown, then plays Bow-Drawing Mermaid in defence mode. Jack wonders why Kai would play such a weak monster in defence. Kai knows that Jack is planning to use the face down cards in a combination attack.
Jack is worried about Kai's facedown card, but can't pass up the chance to gain an early point advantage. Jack switches the Beaver Warrior to face-up attack mode, and activates Horn of the Unicorn, increasing Beaver Warrior's attack to 1900. But Kai activates his trap card, Tears of a Mermaid, which stops the Beaver Warrior's attack and destroys the Horn of the Unicorn. Kai switches Red Archery Girl to attack mode and destroys Beaver Warrior.
It's Jack's move. Kai thinks he knows what Jack will do: play Spellbinding Circle facedown, then play Summoned Skull in defence. Kai switches Ryu-Ran to attack mode and attacks Summoned Skull. Jack activates Spellbinding Circle, stopping Ryu-Ran's attack and reducing its attack power by 700 points. Jack switches Summoned Skull to attack mode and attacks Ryu-Ran, but Kai responds with a trap of his own: Trap Displacement, which switches the Spellbinding Circle to Summoned Skull. Ryu-Ran's attack strength is back to 2200, while Summoned Skull's is reduced to 1800, Kai destroys Jack's Summoned Skull.
It's Kai's turn, and Jack's sure it's another perfectly prepared move. Kai plays Toon World. Red Archery Girl and Ryu-Ran are turned into their Toon counterparts, and Kai attacks Jack's defence monster with toon Ryu-Ran, destroying the Giant Soldier of Stone. Then he switches the Toon Mermaid to attack mode.
Jack thinks he'd better attack, and maybe he'll be able to uncover a weakness in the Toon monsters. Jack summons Celtic Guardian in attack mode. Its attack strength of 1400 is equal to the Toon Mermaid's. He attacks, but Toon Mermaid is able to stop Celtic Guardian's attack and destroys it! Kai says that his Toon monsters can't be beaten by brute force.
Kai plays two cards face down, and Jack plays a monster in defence mode, but Kai plays a trap card called Gorgon's Eye, which turns Jack's Horned Imp to stone. Jack realises Gorgon's eye is a permanent trap, not only will it turn every monster Jack plays in defence to stone, but when the stone monsters are destroyed, half of their defence points will be deducted from Jack's life points! Then Kai plays Doppelganger, which can transform itself into any card on the field—including Jack's graveyard. He turns himself into Summoned Skull, which then becomes Toon Skull. Jack calls Toon Skull a monstrosity, Kai attacks the stone Horned Imp with Toon Skull, and Jack loses 500 life points, half of Horned Imp's defence. Toon Skull does a victory pose, then disappears back into Toon World.
Jack draws a card, it's the Dark Magician. Kai said that he looks forward to Jack putting his favourite card into play. So he can crush it! Jack doesn't know what to do. He can't attack the Toons while they're safe inside Toon World, and any monster he plays in defence will be turned to stone by the Gorgon's Eye. If Jack plays a monster in defence, Kai's gorgon's eye trap card will turn it into stone. But if he plays them in attack, Kai's Toon monsters will destroy it
Jack plays Dark Magician in attack mode, and then plays Magical Hats to hide him. Elli reminds Jack that Kai may have magic cards. Kai sends Toon Summoned Skull to attack one of the hats but he misses, the Dark Magician is still on the field. Jack draws a card and plays it face down. Frustrated, Kai draws his next card. Triumphantly, he throws down Magical Neutralising Force, a magic card that destroys Jack's Magical Hats and reveals the Dark Magician. Kai attacks Dark Magician with Toon Summoned Skull. Jack activates the Living Arrow card he played facedown earlier, fusing it with Kai's Magical Neutralizing Force and sending it back at Kai's Toon World.
It was too late, Toon Summoned Skull had already attacked. But then Jack activates his other facedown card, Mirror Force sending the attack back. With Toon World destroyed, Kai's monsters all revert to their normal forms and reappear on the field, where they're destroyed by Mirror Force's blast. Toon World and all the Toons are destroyed, and the score now stands at Jack 900, Kai 600.
Kai plays a new monster—one he's created just for this game. It's huge and grotesque, but its attack and defence are both zero. Yami knows it must have some special power, but doesn't know what. He summons Curse of Dragon Jack attacks with Curse of Dragon. But his attack activates Dark Eyes Illusionist's special ability—Curse of Dragon is mesmerised and stops its attack. Kai plays the Black Illusion Ritual magic card and sacrifices the Dark Eyes Illusionist to summon a new monster, Relinquished it absorbs Curse of Dragon. Jack attacks with Dark Magician, but Relinquished uses Curse of Dragon as a shield, Jack ends up destroying his own monster, Jack takes the damage from the attack, and Relinquished is unharmed.
Kai activates Relinquished's special power and absorbs the Dark Magician. Jack reaches for a card, hoping that this will be the card that will beat Kai, because it will probably be his last card. He plays a card face down, and plays Feral Imp in defence. Jack stands up, telling Kai he'll pay for what he's done. Jack's drawn face down card is Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress. Jack plays Winged Dragon in defence, and Kai destroys it with Sacrifice, using Dark Magician's attack strength.
Kai plays Time Bomber, a self-destructing monster that will explode in two turns, destroying Relinquished and all the monsters it has absorbed. The Dark Magician's attack points will be deducted from Jack's life points, and he'll lose the game.
"I'll get my Dark Magician back!!" Jack said
Jack plays the card he just drawn, Mystic Box. The Mystic Box puts Time Bomber in the Dark Magician's place, freeing the Dark Magician. Now when Time bomber explodes, it will only destroy Relinquished. Kai draws again, then passes the turn, unable to make a play. Jack draws, and plays Change of heart, taking control of Relinquished for one turn. With Relinquished on Jack's side of the field, it will destroy the Dark Magician when the time bomb explodes, taking all of Jack's life points. Kai's forgot about the card Jack left on the field. Jack flips it over, it's a ritual magic card, Dark Magic Ritual. Jack offers Time and the Dark Magician as sacrifices to summon the Magician of Black Chaos, the greatest magician in all of duel monsters. Jack decides use this monster to avenge his fallen card. Kai thinks he still has a chance next turn, he ressurect get Relinquished back using monster reborn, and use it to absorb the Magician of Black Chaos. But Jack isn't finished yet. He plays a card facedown, and a monster facedown in defence. Jack 's turn ends, and Relinquished is back with Kai. Kai uses Polymerisation to fuse Relinquished with the Thousand Eyes Idol to create the Thousand Eyes Restrict, a new and even stranger monster
Kai activated the Thousand Eyes Restrict's mesmerising power, paralysing the Magician of Black Chaos, as well as Jack's defence monster. The Thousand Eyes Restrict begins to draw the Chaos Mage to itself. Then Jack turns over his facedown cards Kuribo and the magic card Multiply. Hundreds of mesmerised Kuribo's are also being drawn to the Thousand Eyes Restrict, and it is forced to absorb them all. The little Kuribo's self-destruct on contact with the enemy, crippling the Thousand Eyes Restrict. Jack loses Kuribo's 300 attack points, lowering his life points to 100, but the Thousand Eyes Restrict is blinded by the Kuribo's attack, and the Magician of Black Chaos is freed from its mesmerising gaze. Jack destroys the Thousand Eyes Restrict with his Magician of Black Chaos, wiping out Kai's remaining life points and winning the game.
"Ghaaaa! I guess you won Jack" Kai cursed
"Good match" Jack smiled as the crowed cheered.
Elli ran upto Jack as the podium lowered and kissed him.
"Everybody! Party's at the inn!!!!" Ann said.
"Jack" The mayor said
"Sir" Jack replied
"That was an excellent match, you've beaten very challenger in town, I'm surprised that you didn't use your Exodia cards" the mayor said
"That wouldn't be fair to use it, I prefer to use my skills over the sheer power of one card" Jack said
Later at the inn, Jack spoke sweet nothings into Elli's ear wilst kissing her, she blushed continously. Jeff, Karen's dad knew that Jack had his eye on the blue feather (an item that a male have to give to thier girlfriend to ask them to marry them); he kept one to the side knowing that Jack was eventually going to buy one when he decides to propose to Elli.
"Ahem, Jack" Saibara said
"Oh afternoon Saibara!" Jack said looking flustered
"I need to ask you something" Saibara replied
"Sure" Jack said
"I'm going to retire soon and I'm going to close down the blacksmith, and a larger one is opening north of town, I wanted to sell my place to you" Saibara said
"How much?" Jack asked
"Hundred grand" Saibara replied "I've heard that you've wanted to open a shop of your own besides running your farm and since you are constructing a shop for Elli I'd thought you'd might like this" Saibara continued
"Are you sure?" Jack asked
"I'm sure about it" Saibara replied
"OK, I'll come over tommorow to finalise it" Jack smiled
"I've removed all of the machinery, place needs refurbishment thats all" Saibara added
"Thats great Jack, we can be together on and off the farm before we ge.... oops!" Elli blushed
Elli accidently hinted that she'd like to be Jack's wife but luckliy Jack didn't hear the last part beacause he was thinking of what kind of shop he'd like his new place to be, however Ann standing a few meters away caught on and was passing the information to her best friend Karen (Ladies gossip).
::I wonder if Rick and Karen would like to mann my new shop when it opens? I'll ask Kai too, he seems to be into comics and stuff:: Jack thought
The party went on, there was alot of drinking and music, it was about 11.30 when Jack got back to his place after walking Elli home. The next day, it was a beautiful clear sky as Elli walked accross town towards Jack's farm, she could hear the cows mooing from Yodel farm and Gotz busy constructing her florist shop; Elli had a cake that she baked for Jack in a basket. Elli walked onto the farm and noticed the Harvest Sprites tending to the crops and the animals.
Elli walked upto Jack's front door "Jack?" Elli said knocking on the door
"Oh hi Elli, Jack's gone down to the mine near the spring on his quad-bike he said he'd be back in three hours" Staid said
"He took alot of crates with him" Bold added
"Umm Jack could make a good sweet potato stew with these" Chef said
"Thanks, I'll go meet him there" Elli smiled as she walked off
Elli got to the mines at the springs, Jack's quad-bike was parked next to the tree most of the twelve baskets were already full some of which has some gems in them but most had copper and silver ore ready for shipping. Elli peered into the cave.
"Huh Jack?" Elli said hearing hammering of stones
"Oh hi Elli" Jack said coming out of the cave
Elli blushed, Jack didn't have his shirt on.
"I've come to give you this cake" Elli blushed even more
"huh thanks" Jack smiled
Elli heard rumbling and looked up.
"JACK LOOK OUT!!!" Elli called out
Jack looked up and saw falling rocks hurtling towards him...
