Chapter 15: A new problem: D2's gone haywire!
Several seconds earlier...
Joey: Fine, Yuge. Attack and finish me if you want. But remember, I think you're a good duelist. You're my friend...and even you beating me won't change that.
Yugi: Joey...how can I attack my friend...(growls) No! I am not falling into your trap! Magician of Black Chaos, attack and destroy his Dragon!
Magician of Black Chaos: (Swings the sword and cleaves the monster in half)
Yugi: Now Gazelle, get ready...
Joey: Yugi no!
Mai: Stop!
Voice: I think it's time I intervene!
All (except voice): No way, its...
Pegasus: Me! Yugi, how can you be doing this? You were crowned King of Games! You are the greatest duelist in the world!
Yugi: Shut up you Manga addicted alcoholic!
Joey: Uh...Pegasus...of all he people...
Pegasus: Snap out of it! We have a new problem! Kaiba phoned every duelist he knows including me to help. Since you guys don't have cell phones I had to tell you. It turns out there's a fault in D2's programming!
Yugi: What...what is it?
Pegasus: Well, it thinks humans are obsolete so it is trying to eliminate us. Somehow, they got guns...
Meanwhile in the hospital
Mokuba: (waking up) Huh, what happened?
Kaiba: Mokuba! Thank goodness you're alright. That bastard Marik will pay.
Mokuba: Seto, did you remember to hide my gun stash before you left the house?
Kaiba: Uh (thinking) So that's how the D2's got weapons! I have to stop letting Mokuba buy all these guns...
Back at the dueling area...
Pegasus: ...so we have to stop them!
Mai: But how? They have guns!
Pegasus: It turns out that there is another fault in D2's programming. It will always duel if challenged. However, the new D2's have made special decks to beat other duelists. However, if we defeat the D2's they will shut down because Kaiba programmed them to never fail.
Joey: Then how many are there?
Pegasus: There are 10. The five prototypes and five more made in the factory. Luckily Kaiba stopped production until he can find the bug.
Yugi: We have to stop them! They could be attacking innocent people right now.
Pegasus: Correct, we must hurry! Scour the city and beat any D2's you can find! Oh yes, there will be other duelists who have been enlisted to aid you. Don't turn them down.
Joey: Let's go! (All four strap on duel disks and exit)
A street corner, 5:34 A.M. Pegasus has just located a D2.
Pegasus: You there! I challenge you to a duel!
D2: Ha! My deck is suited to beat yours Maximillion Pegasus. (Puts away Ak- 47 it was holding) Prepare to duel.
Pegasus 4000/D2 4000
Pegasus: I shall summon my Red Archery Girl in attack mode and set one card face down.
Red Archery Girl: 1400/1500 (A young mermaid in a large clamshell appeared. She held a long bow and several arrows as her weapon)
D2: Fool. I set one monster.
Pegasus: You are the fool! I activate Gorgon's Eye! (D2's monster flipped up and revealed as Throwstone Unit [900/2000] and turned to stone) Now when I destroy it you lose life points equal to ½ his defense points. Now I will sacrifice Red Archery Girl to summon Parrot Dragon in attack mode!
Parrot Dragon: 2000/1800
D2: Well, my monster still cannot be destroyed. I shall sacrifice it for a stronger monster, namely Amphibian Beast.
Amphibian Beast: 2400/2000 (A green frog-like creature appeared on D2's field)
D2: Attack his parrot.
Amphibian Beast: (Shoots a jet of water and destroyed the monster)
Pegasus 3600/D2 4000
Pegasus: I just drew the card to seal your fate. I play a magic card known as Toon World! (A picture book appeared and opened to reveal a haunting city)
Pegasus 2600/D2 4000
Pegasus: I may have lost 1000 life points but now I can summon my Toon monsters! Now I'll summon Red Archery Girl's comic cousin, Toon Mermaid in attack mode!
Toon Mermaid: 1400/1500 Effect: Must pay 500 life points when she attacks. Can attack your opponent directly if they control no Toon monsters (A creature resembling the Red Archery Girl appeared. However, the clam had eyes and arms and the mermaid had a fiendish look)
Pegasus: Since you control no Toons she's free to attack you directly! (The mermaid shot an arrow at D2 lowering his life points)
Pegasus 2100/D2 2600
D2: Damn you. However, I shall be the victor. You are not the only one who posses Toons. I shall sacrifice my Amphibian to summon Toon Skull.
Toon Skull: 2500/1200 Effect: See Toon Mermaid (A creature that resembled the summon Skull popped up from the book and flew over to D2's field. It had large eyes and stuck its tongue at Pegasus)
D2: Your own magic card worked against you. Now Skull, shock the Mermaid.
Toon Skull: (Lightning flew from its fingertips and destroyed the mermaid)
Pegasus 1000/D2 2100
Pegasus: You think you're so smart. Ha! I shall play Exile of the Wicked destroying your Skull! (A wizard appeared and chanted a spell destroying the bony Toon) Now I shall summon Dark Rabbit in attack mode!
Dark Rabbit: 1100/1500 (A rabbit with black fur and white gloves appeared. He laughed wildly as his master made the next move)
Pegasus: Now I set a card and have my Rabbit attack you directly!
Dark Rabbit: (rushes forward and punches D2)
Pegasus 1000/D2 1000
D2: We appear to be even but not for long. I shall summon my Blackland Fire Dragon in attack mode!
Blackland Fire Dragon: 1500/1200 (A green dragon with a long necks and spikes appeared)
D2: Attack the rabbit with your Fire of Darkness.
Blackland Fire Dragon: (Blows fire and obliterates the rabbit)
Pegasus 600/D2 1000
Pegasus: Now I activate my face down card! It's a little doodad called Doppelganger and it lets me copy one card in play! (A large purple cat-like creature appeared. It changed to the form of Blackland Fire Dragon) Now I sacrifice him to summon my own Toon Skull!
Toon Skull: (If you have a bad memory look above)
Pegasus: Now Toon Skull, attack him directly!
Toon Skull: (Bolts of lightning fly from his fingers and hit D2)
Pegasus 600/D2 0
D2: Error...error....D2...not victorious...malfunction! (Explodes)
Pegasus: Good, only nine more to go.
HES: So Pegasus has returned. It looks like the D2's aren't unbeatable. However, there's still nine more to stop before they kill civilians.
Next Time on Cast to the Shadows: Two more D2's are spotted and it's up to Yugi and Joey to stop them this time in yet another double duel. However, Yugi is still regaining his confidence and is extremely afraid of failure. Will he be able to confront his fears and help Joey remove the mechanical menaces? Find out on the next installment of Cast to the Shadows!
