United We Stand
"Go Dejiro! You can do this brother, go for it!"
"This shouldn't be too long, but I wish it were, I need a good laugh"thought Vendick.
*****************************************************************************************************
"Allright Dejiro, this is the big deal, you can't mess this one up. If you lose this, your sister's
never gonna be able to rely on ya again"said Joey.
Dejiro nodded.
"There's too much to lose, I'm not gonna mess this one up"said Dejiro.
"Go get'em Dejiro!"said Yugi.
"Good luck kid"said Kaiba.
Dejiro activated his dueldisk.
"This won't take too long"said Calback, activating his as well.
"Now's the time, if Dejiro's ever going to win a match of Duel Monsters, now's the time for it.
The odds are not in his favor at all, Dejiro's a very poor duelist, and it's safe to assume
Calback's no amateur, this is gonna be rough"thought Yugi.
"So, ya think he has a chance?"asked Joey.
"Maybe, we'll have to see how things turn out"said Yugi.
Both of them drew their opening hands.
"DUEL!"
Dejiro:8000 Calback:8000
"Time to go to work"thought Dejiro.
"Here they go"said Yugi.
********************************************************************************************************************
"C'mon Dejiro, you've never let me down. This time will be no diffrent"thought Jane.
"Calback, his skills are the best of any duelist besides me. Dejiro's allready lost"said Vendick.
"No, he can't be right, Dejiro's gotta win"thought Jane.
**************************************************************************************************************
"I'll go first"said Calback.
Everyone watched intently.
"I place three cards face down, and then I summon Oni Tank T-34
in defence mode. I end turn"
It had an ATK of 1400 and DEF of 1700.
"That Oni Tank's a pretty tough defence, and those face down
cards could be lethal. Dejiro better watch it"thought Yugi.
"C'mon Dejiro"thought Joey.
"Let's see what the kid's got"thought Kaiba.
"Allright, taking out that wimpy creature won't be too hard"thought Dejiro.
"I summon M Warrior#2 in attack mode"
It had an ATK of 1000 and DEF of 500.
"Next comes Lightning Blade, increasing his attack by 800 points. Now crush his
tank!"
"Dejiro, wait!"gasped Yugi.
"That's not a good idea"said Yugi.
Calback shook his head.
"Activate trap card, it's called Anubis Judgement. Not only does it negate your
magic card, but it destroys all your monsters and deducts half of their attack from
your lifepoints"
Dejiro:7500 Calback:8000
********************************************************************************************
Jane's expression was no one of terror.
"No, way"she muttered.
Vendick laughed.
"What did I tell you? He's the absoloute worst of the four duelists,
or better yet, the worst duelist I've ever seen. He's never won a single Duel Monster's
match I hear, and I highly doubt he'll be sucsessful against a pro like Calback"
****************************************************************************************
Calback drew.
"Nice"thought Calback.
"Now I place one monster in defence mode, then I switch my Oni Tank into attack mode.
Direct attack!"
Dejiro:6100 Calback:8000
"What is wrong with this kid, who taught him to duel?"thought Kaiba.
"Dejiro, get it together! This is no time to mess up!"said Joey.
"Dejiro, surrender the match. I'm wasting my time with you, just back off and let Yugi take
over, because you're not going to accomplish anything except destroy yourself"said Calback.
"Listen Dejiro, he may be right. Leader or not, Calback's obviously a very skilled and dangerous
duelist, you should let me take over. Forefit the match"said Yugi.
"NO!"
"Don't be stupid Dejiro, you'll get slaughtered out there!"said Joey.
"Listen guys, I've had the odds against me more times then I can count. Sometimes
it's too much, but whenever Jane was on the line I ALWAYS won, no matter what. Jan'es
my sister, I love her more then anything. She's what get's me through life. She's my responsibility,
if I just have you guys do everything while I stand back, then Jane will never be able to look up
to me again"
"Listen, this is no time to let foolish pride blind you kid, this is serious"said Kaiba.
"I'm dueling and that's final!"
Calback spat with a growl.
"Fine then you pathetic little snot, I'm going to make you pay for the
time I'm wasting on you"
************************************************************************************************
"Wow, I love you too Dejiro, do this!"said Jane.
Vendick hmmed, he hadn't seen this kind of passion in some time.
"Incredible, Dejiro knows he's going to lose, yet he continues to duel, just to help
get Jane back. Touching, however I won't let my emotions get in the way of things"thought Vendick.
****************************************************************************************************
"Yes, I am not foreign to Dejiro's feelings, I loved my mother like that, no matter what my father did
to her or to me, she protected me for as long as she could. Perhaps, no Calback! Focus, the sooner I
destroy his lifepoints the better"thought Calback.
"Besides, what kind of mother kills herself and leaves a toddler orphaned, she's dead
and it's her own fault, good riddens"thought Calback.
"Allright Dejiro, we'll back ya up. You think you can win, then go for it!"said Joey.
"Go get'em Dejiro!"said Yugi.
"This is it"thought Dejiro drawing.
He snickered, making Calback a little curious as to his plan.
"Let's see how ya like this combo! First I summon the Dark Elf in attack mode!"
It had an ATK of 2000 and DEF of 800.
"Then I equip it with Sword of Dark Destruction, raising her attack to 2400"
Calback snickered.
"In order to attack with that card, you must give up 1000 lifepoints"
"What!"
"Take a look yourself!"
Dejiro read the card.
"He's right, I never payed attention to her effect"thought Dejiro.
"I don't know if I can bring myself to watch. From now on, I am not associated
with this kid, even Wheeler was never this bad in his begginings"thought Kaiba.
"You should know everything about your cards before you put them in your deck, as well
as use them!"said Yugi.
"That really helps me now, dosen't it?"said Dejiro.
"So you gonna attack?"
"You bet, attack!"
Dejiro:5100 Calback:8000
"Wait, you for-
However Joey was too late.
"Reveal face down cards now! First up is my
Reverse trap card, it reverses any increase or
decrease to a monster's power, so Dark Elf
LOSES 400 attack points"
"It'll still be enough"said Dejiro.
"Not quite, then there's my reinforcements card, for one turn it raises
my monster's attack by 500 points"
Dejiro:4800 Calback:8000
"Is that it? PATHETIC!"said Calback.
************************************************************************************************
"So much for his comeback"said Vendick.
"Dejiro, oh God no"thought Jane.
**************************************************************************************************
Dejiro drew.
"Now, I sacrafice my Oni Tank to summon Mr Volcano in attack mode!"
It had an ATK of 2100 and DEF of 1300.
"I'm open again!"gasped Dejiro.
"Now Mr VOlcano, direct attack!"
Dejiro:2700 Calback:8000
Dejiro was knocked back by this blast to the ground.
"Aw no, it, darn! I really wasn't ready for this"thought Dejiro cringing.
"Get up!"gasped Yugi.
"You okay?"asked Joey about to run over.
Calback threw his hand out, signaling him to stop.
"Interfere in any way and I'll automaticly win. Of course it would be less
embarrising for him. Listen Dejiro, I admire your courage but you're wasting time. I win, just step back
so I can destroy a more challenging opponent. Yugi, you're up"
"Not if Dejiro still wants to duel"said Yugi.
"What if they're all right, this guy's good. I can't comepete against him.
I really wasn't ready. Poor Jane, I, I-
He remembered all his contacts with Jane, the pain he suffered, the pain she suffered.
The torment of losing her, he couldn't stop.
"So give up?"asked Calback.
With all the strength he had, Dejiro stood himself up, he wasn't through yet.
