United We Stand
Vendick tore the gag off Jane's face. Jane coughed, obviously the taste of cloth
wasn't pleasant.
"Watch Jade, your peon brother and his groupies are dueling for you. Now, they're going
to regret it"said Vendick.
"Dejiro! Leave them out of this, I'll do whatever you want if you leave them alone"said Jane.
"Can't do that, we need things from them as well. Just relax and enjoy the show, these will be your
your last moments after all"
*****************************************************************************************************
"Tristan! What are you doing here!"gasped Joey.
"Revenge Joey"said Tristan in a much raspier voice.
"Revenge? For what?"
"You obviously have a short memory Joey Wheeler. Allow me to explain! Remember after duelist
kingdom? We traveled home, and things seemed to be normal. But apparently something else happened,
didn't it? Did you ever call me for help? NO! You leaft me in the dust! You never awnsered any of your
calls! Then you had the nerve to almost get your own sister killed by letting her come with you to
the Battle City finals!"
"Where did you hear about the finals?"asked Joey.
"Trust me Joey, I have reliable sources. I'll be the first duelist!"
"Look man, I'm sor-
"Too late! Now's not the time for apoligies, it's the time for dueling!"
Tristan took a die from his pocket.
"What's that for?"asked Joey.
"This die has all your names on it, with two blank spaces. Who's ever name is rolled
will be the one dueling. If it hits a blank space, it's rolled again. Now then, let's roll
the die!"
The four looked on anxiously. The die landed on:Joey.
"Looks like it's you and me Joey. Now then, take your cards out of the dueldisk,
you won't be needing it"
Joey did so, and took his disk off before dropping it to the ground. From the ground came a dueling arena.
"The ruels will be exactly the same as Battle City, except we start with 8000 lifepoints instead of 4000"
"I'm up for that. Look man, let's just forget about this. I'll duel another guy,
you're in over your head here"said Joey.
"Oh no Joey, I'm in at waist level. Now either draw your hand or forefit! And I assure you,
you'll want as much time as possible before losing"
"Allright Tristan, you asked for it!"said Joey drawing.
"Tristan? You must be joking"said Kaiba.
"How good is Tristan Yugi?"asked Dejiro.
"Tristan was never a duelist when we knew him so I'm not sure
at all about his skills"said Yugi.
"Even without the Egyptian God cards, there's no way Tristan could've gained much
skill. Wheeler should win this easily"said Kaiba.
"Well let's hope so, it's obvious we aren't going to get through to Tristan. I just
hope nothing happens to him for losing"said Yugi.
"Joey better crush this guy, because I'm not leaving without Jane"thought Dejiro.
**********************************************************************************************
"This should be quite the duel"said Vendick.
"Please, you have to win. For my sake and for Dejiro's. There has to be someone
who can beat these Garder Snakes. Please, I don't want to die, and I couldn't bear the pain
if Dejiro dies because of me"thought Jane.
******************************************************************************************
"Time to duel!"
Joey:8000 Tristan:8000
"I'll go first"said Tristan drawing.
He smirked.
"I summon The Stone Statue of The Aztecs in defence mode"
It had an ATK of 300 and DEF of 2000.
"Then I'll place one card face down"
"Is that it? My turn then"said Joey drawing.
"Awesome!"he thought.
"I summon Panther Warrior in attack mode"
It had an ATK of 2000 and DEF of 1600.
"Then I'll place this little number face down to end my turn"
"The attack points of Joey's Panther Warrior and Tristan's Stone Statue
are equal, so even if Joey had a monster to sacrafice for an attack, it
would do no good.Wait! Oh no, if Tristan's gonna do what I think he will,
Joey's in trouble"thought Yugi.
"If Tristan's just gonna throw out high defense monsters all duel, then he better
not expect high results"thought Kaiba.
"All Panther Warrior needs is one power boost and he'll anialate the stone statue"thought Dejiro.
Tristan drew.
"Now I sacrafice my Stone Statue!"
"I knew it"thought Yugi.
"So now I can place this in defence mode"
"What!"gasped Joey.
"I knew it, this duel's decided"thought Kaiba.
"Is he just gonna play defence all match?"how pathetic"thought Dejiro.
"Joey, crush this guy!"said Dejiro.
"Joey better be careful, there's no telling what that monster's defence is"thought Yugi.
"My move!"said Joey drawing.
"Awesome, this is just what I need"thought Joey.
"I summon Geafried the Iron Knight!"
It had an ATK of 1800 and DEF of 1600.
"Then I activate Skapegoat! Now I sacrafice a Skapegoat so my Panther Warrior can
wipe out your monster"
However when the monster was revealed, the attack did nothing.
Joey:7800 Tristan:8000
"Oh great, that monster's defence is even higher"said Joey.
"Meet my good friend Steel Ogre Grotto #2"
It had an ATK of 1900 and DEF of 2200.
"Since your Iron Knight is also too weak, I guess you're out of moves"
"Guess again, now I place this card face down to end my turn"
Tristan drew.
"Not so fast! Activate Drop Off. This sends the card you drew right to the graveyard"
"Thanks Joey, the monster you sent to the graveyard was Michidock(I think) When it's sent from
my hand to the graveyard by an opponent's effect, the opponent loses 1000 lifepoints"
"Aw no!"
Joey:6800 Tristan:8000
"Joey's getting beat pretty badly"thought Yugi.
****************************************************************************************************
"No, tell me this isn't happening! I'm doomed"sobbed Jane.
"You were from the start my dear. Without his Egyptian God cards Tristan has the
match won. We have you to thank for that"said Vendick curling his fingers through her
hair.
Jane wanted nothing more then to swat his hands of but when she tried, her hands were stuck. Duh,
her hands were still bound behind her!
Vendick pulled Jane close and kissed her right on the lips. Disgusting! His lips
were like the claws of a crab, she never felt so violated. Worst of all, she couldn't
do anything to fight back. After a few seconds he let go. She spit out the bad taste in her mouth.
Vendick grabbed her by the hair.
"You ever do that in front of me again and I'll have you thrown right back in your cell!
Trust me, you don't want to know what will happen to you there"
Jane nodded.
"C'mon guys, please help me"she thought.
*********************************************************************************************
"Now I switch my monster to attack mode! And play 7 comepleted, raising it's attack by 700!"
ATK:2600
"Destroy his Iron Knight!"
Joey:6000 Tristan:8000
"The duel just started and Joey's down by 2000 lifepoints"said Dejiro.
"Plus without the Egyptain God cards, that Steel Ogre grotto is now stronger
then any monster in Joey's deck!"gasped Yugi.
"Oooh, I'm trembiling. Your piece of scrap won't be there for long"said Joey drawing.
"Well let's see what you got"said Tristan.
"Fine, I'll place one card face down and end my turn"
Tristan snickered.
"He forgot to switch his Panther to defense! The fool, unless he leaft
it like that on purpose!"thought Kaiba.
"Now I summon Cyber Falcon!"
It had an ATK of 1400 and DEF of 1200.
"Now attack Steel Ogre!"
"Activate trap card, Skull Dice!"
"I knew it"thought Kaiba.
"NO!"
"Too bad you didn't see any of my battle city duels,
otherwise you'd know this was coming. I only need a 2 or higher to
crush your Ogre"
It landed on two.
"Now your monster only has 1300 attack points, making it open season!"
Joey:6000 Tristan:7300
"Fine, the go!"said Tristan.
"With pleasure!"said Joey drawing.
"First I place this card face down, now I sacrafice a Skapegoat so my
Panther can attack. Wipe out his tin can pigeon!"
Joey:6000 Tristan:6700
"Bada bing, bada boom! So is that all?"asked Joey.
"That's right, crush him!"said Joey.
"Way to go!"said Yugi.
*****************************************************************************************
"Awesome!"cheered Jane.
"Hmph"
"Looks like your henchman isn't doing so well"said Jane confidently to Vendick.
"What are they rejoicing about? The duel's still on, and Tristan has other suprises"thought Vendick.
*********************************************************************************************
"Nice go, but I still have the lead!"said Tristan drawing.
"Let's see ya keep it!"said Joey.
Tristan grinned.
"Oh great, now what?"asked Dejiro.
"Allright, whatchya got there Tristan?"asked Joey.
"You won't be smiling for long Joey"
"Then why don'tchya give me something to frown about"said Joey.
"Oh I will.First I summon Ground attacking Bug Brawler!"
It had an ATK of 1500 and DEF of 1000.
"Don't tell me, another 7 comepleted card!"gasped Dejiro.
"That will certainly put a dent in Joey's strategy"thought Kaiba.
"Even better! Go Limiter Removal! It doubles the attack strength of
one machine monster, making it's attack 3000! Attack Panther Warrior!"
Joey:5000 Tristan:6700
"Oh wow, that really put Joey behind"said Yugi.
Joey grinned.
"You're still smiling!"
"You don't know too much about your magic card, do ya? Now that your
turn is over, all of your cards on the field are destroyed!"
"I forgot that!"
"Hmph, how pathetic"thought Kaiba.
"You'll win in no time Joey!"cheered Dejiro.
***********************************************************************
"Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's my birthday, it's my birthday"cheered Jane.
"This is pathetic, and also embarsing"thought Vendick slapping himself in the face.
*****************************************************************************
"Since you have no monsters, I can go for a direct attack!"said Joey drawing.
"Awesome, just what the doctor ordered"thought Joey.
"Let's see if Wheeler can score the lead now"thought Kaiba.
"I summon Axe Raider, in attack mode!"
It had an ATK of 1700 and DEF of 1150.
"Now Axe Raider, attack!"
Tristan:5000 Joey:5000
"Now their scores are equal"said Dejiro.
"They won't stay that way for long thought"said Yugi.
"I think it's safe to say Tristan's using a Machine based deck, which means
he's gonna have plunty of powerful monsters leaft"said Kaiba.
"Now I place one more card face down to end my turn"
Tristan drew angrily.
"Fine! I summon Mechanical Chaser!"
It had an ATK of 1850 and DEF of 800.
"Now attack!"
"Reveal Shield and Sword! This will swap the attack and defence of
our monsters for one turn"
Axe Raider:1150 Mechanical Chaser:800
"Not again!"
Tristan:4650 Joey:5000
"Yeah, you're crushing him now!"said Dejiro.
"Way to go!"said Yugi.
"I must say I'm impressed"said Kaiba with a smirk.
******************************************************************************************
"This is great! Sorry Vendick, but it looks like your games with me are over"said Jane.
"Not quite. Even if Joey get's by there are still 2 more men, then me"said Vendick.
"And no one will get by me"thought Vendick.
****************************************************************************************
"My turn again!"said Joey drawing.
"Perfect"he thought.
"I summon Battle Warrior!"
It had an ATK of 700 and DEF of 1000.
"Direct attack!"
Tristan:2250 Joey:5000
"One more attack like that and Joey wins!"said Yugi.
"Oh yeah, these Garder Snakes aren't so tough"said Dejiro.
"Tristan seems confident, perhaps this duel won't be so easy. And
there's still three more duels after this, and I bet Kaiba corp that kid
who's holding Jane hostage and attacked Mokuba will be at the top. He must
be the leader of the Garder Snakes, who else could it be?"thought Kaiba.
Tristan drew.
"Now it's time I finished this duel"
"You got no monsters and your lifepoints are pretty low, I'd
like to see ya try"said Joey.
"First I play Nightmare Steel Cage, which will prevent you from attacking for two turns,
then I play Diffrent Dimension Capsule"
"What's that?"asked Joey.
"I can place any monster in my deck within and remove it from play. Then in two turns, it'll be
summoned to the field"
A pharoah like tomb appeared on the field.
"Aw man"thought Joey"Without being able to attack, there's no way I can stop the summoning,
his monster could finish me off. Man, what kind of monster is he hiding in that thing?"
