Episode #36- Ryu Showdown, Part 1
My heartbeat. I heard it. Not outside, but inside. My next sight was my soul room, the autumn colored bedroom with a table and bookshelves, and my triple-sword rack on one side next to the mirror. I sat on my bed, just several blankets piled on top of each other. I got to my feet and walked until I saw my reflection. I was expecting the black outfit I was forced to wear in joining Yami Marik. Instead, it was the same Geranium Red swordsman kimono I wore on my first day of the tournament.
I knew Miran was bringing a switch to see if I returned all right, so I paced myself out of my room and left the door open. I saw Miran's door coming closed and let myself go out.
The first breath I drew was the first one truly needed. My eyes gave view to the Duel arena from a different point, Marik was still on the holodeck and almost everyone, but Kaiba, were anxious of the result. I just nodded and flipped the pony tail to one side, "Miranda's back." I said smiling like it was no surprise. In an up-set, everyone cheered again. Ashley was first to ring my neck with embracing arms.
"Cuz, you're back in your body!" She cheered while choking me.
"Yeah Ash, just get off of me before I have no body to come to at all." I grunted and she let go. Though it was all right to actually see my cuz and friends without holding back. Now that Yami Marik was gone for good, it felt like the Finals are coming back on track.
I glanced around the group and saw that unfamiliar face that risked his life for me. He blushed with some embarrassment without a comment on his cluelessness or his awkwardness; but in his hand was the necklace that shattered earlier, back together.
"Here, I thought you'd want this back." He handed me the necklace.
"Thanks, I don't think I caught your name after all this. Please forgive me." I gave in to formality to a newcomer.
"I don't need that, but I'm Kevin Hunter: Dragon Duelist of America." Kevin answered and eyed Raikoukou just pacing up to my side. He stepped back, still trembling of the fox.
I looked to Raikoukou with my right hand on its shoulder blade. "Relax, Raikoukou's really loyal."
"Maybe to you, that thing nearly bit my leg off." He shuddered.
'I apologize. Before Master Miranda was restored, I was...edgy.' Raikoukou thought admittingly.
"Y-yeah, whatever." Kevin backed off.
"Miranda," Marik came down from the platform, "you're all right." He approached me.
"About as best as I could get." I answered. He held out a hand; in his fingers was his Egyptian God Card, The Winged Dragon of Ra. "What?"
"You beat me in that Duel, and in Battle City rules, I have to forfeit my rarest card to you." He said.
"For once, he's right. And I'll be sure to have Yin-Yang and Ra once I get Yugi's Slifer." said Kaiba, "Though I have to say that was quite a show."
"WHAT?!" I roared after tucking the God Card into my deck box.
"Kaiba," Yami was about as angered as I was, "That last game was far more real than the holograms. Miranda, and maybe even all of us, were in serious danger."
"That's all in the past, Yugi. My concern is the near future: our Duel." Kaiba finished his argument with Yami.
"Now hold on Kaiba, you said I'd be Dueling you after Miranda and Marik had their bout." Kevin butted in, "So now it's go time. You and me, Dragon ta Dragon. And we'll just see which one of us has the better Deck." Kevin's determination burned ferociously in his eyes. Kaiba looked to him with his arms folded.
"Your pathetic Deck against my Egyptian God Card? It's a foregone conclusion." Kaiba smirked, "And Ashley's win against me earlier was nothing but my own carelessness that should not have been there in the first place."
"You got beat by Ashley?" Kevin stood shocked and turned to the eliminated Duelist-Bowler.
"And I corrected that error by rematch. So I'm still in the Finals, and I don't plan to lose to some mouse." Kaiba showed the same glare.
"Mouse?!" Kevin got angry, then withdrew to his cocky attitude, "Well I'll have you know, big things come in small packages. And I'm as big as it comes."
"So we're Dueling now, how about later before you embarrass yourself in front of your girlfriends." Kaiba mocked back.
"What?!" Kevin's low-tolerance was really pushed by Kaiba's insults, "Oh, that does it. How about a wager?"
"I highly doubt that; America is barely up to the standards of Duel Monsters as we are. You may have the most powerful Deck in that country, but your Deck will always be a step below mine." Kaiba finalized his argument; Though he caught a spark of insult from Ashley, Kathy, and me.
"What do you mean America is below the standards?!" Kathy cried.
"Kevin, take him down!" Ashley followed with a thumbs-down for Kaiba.
"Alright Kevin, I accept your challenge. We'll just see who's pride will be destroyed this Duel." Kaiba declared and engaged his Duel Disc, same to Kevin and the Duel was about to begin.
Kathy was zoned out before shaking her head. "OK, what's up? Oh yeah." She began confused, "The Exhibition Duel between Seto Kaiba and Kevin Hunter will begin."
__________
"I'll go first." Kevin declared and drew his sixth card.
"I don't care, you'll need all the help you can get." Kaiba mocked. Kevin quickly concentrated on his hand.
"Fine by me. I'll place one card faced down and a monster in defense mode. That takes care of my turn." Kevin played quickly.
Kaiba smirked, "All of you are just the same, I can't count how many ways I managed to counter that move." He commented and drew. "First off, I'll summon Spear Dragon in attack mode." He paused as his first move appeared on the field, the same blue Dragon with the pointed snot carrying most of the dragon's weight above its shoulders. "Spear Dragon, attack his face down card with Cyclone Blast!"
"Ran right into my Dragon Dwelling in the Cave, but I'll also activate my trap here. It's called Spirit Cannon." Kevin cocked.
"What in the world is a Spirit Cannon?" Kaiba questioned. The trap card arranged itself in the 3-dimensional form in front of the card's hologram; it looed like an ancient jar with wrapping serpents of gold surrounding it to the rim. It sat at an angle with four gold pegs to keep it steady, and floating above it was a red gem the size of his fist.
"I'll put it this way: it'll coax you from destroying anymore of my monsters and sending them to the Graveyard." Kevin briefed, "The Spirit Cannon will gather half of the attack points of all monsters that are in my Graveyard as long as it's on the field. When I choose to fire it, you'll lose Life Points."
"So why not bring out a monster with higher attack power?" Kaiba asked further.
"You know that sounds like a good idea; I'll keep that in mind." Kevin mocked, "I just had my Cave Dragon out for various reasons. Now if your turn is over, I'll be playing now." Kevin drew his next card, White Dragon Ritual. "Yes, I summon Senju of the Thousand Hands in attack mode." He declared as a weak, Aztec-looking monster made stand with a fan of arms on its back. "By this card, I can pull one monster from my Deck and begin the Ritual."
"What are you just trying to pull?" Kaiba got impatient fast.
"It's easy. First I play the White Dragon Ritual." Kevin answered. A wheel of blue fire surrounded Senju. "But in order to activate, I must make a sacrifice. So I sacrifice Senju to summon the Paladin of White Dragon!" Kevin declared; the blue fire turned into a whirlwind around Senju. The fires released grip like Senju was too hot to handle, but in its place was a knight wearing Raregold Armor riding a young Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"Whoa, that's cool." I commented, "Pretty decent for a Dragon Duelist."
"Yeah but what are his chances against Kaiba?" Ashley asked me."
"Better than yours were. Obelisk in an Exodia Deck, what a mistake..." I replied with a pointed-out-the-obvious tone.
"Well, what now?" Kaiba stood fearless of Kevin's new monster.
"Paladin of White Dragon, attack his Spear Dragon with White Lightning Thrust!" Kevin commanded. The dragon stomped with its head near the ground so as not to make its master fall and opened its jaws. A crack of lightning fired like a thunderbolt to Spear Dragon and destroyed it.
"Doesn't matter..." Kaiba muttered.
"One more thing Kaiba, now my Spirit Cannon's being loaded with Senju's attack power. And my White Dragon Paladin will join in on the final assault as well." Kevin boasted further, "Now I'll sacrifice, my Paladin to summon the real deal: The Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"That's impossible! There are only three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in the entire world and they're all in Kaiba's deck!" cried a startled Yami.
"Apparently they're not on the Endangered Monsters List in America." Ashley made hint of a joke. The familiar White Dragon made its debut under Kevin's half of the field. It rested into a battle-readied stance once it appeared.
"This ends my turn, Kaiba. And I add on another 950 points to my Spirit Cannon." Kevin finished.
"With that Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field, Kaiba's going to have a hard time trying to get his own dragons on the field." Yami pointed out.
'I don't believe this! How can a mouse like Kevin possess a Blue-Eyes White Dragon?! This isn't possible.' Kaiba thought in disbelief, "Kevin, tell me how you got a Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
"Long story, really." Kevin began.
__________
"You see, before I became this Duelist, my father was also a Dragon Duelist. 'Dragon Knight' was his nickname. He devoted everything to the honor of Dragons, he even carried the heart of one." Kevin started his backstory, "I was only seven years old and I admired my father like a hero. I wanted to be just like him, but I had to work collecting the cards and developing my tacics just as hard as he did. When I was twelve, my father has just won another tournament using his well-honed skills, but he told me that was his last tournament."
'Kinda like me with Uncle Eddie.' Ashley thought to herself as she seemed interested. Kevin continued.
"My father told me that the youth has taken over and has honed more skill. He used to tell me he could breeze by those Duels with nothing, but with cards like Vampire Lord and Dark Necrofear in the same Deck has long since forgotten the traditional themed Decks. He gave me his Deck that included one of the few Blue-Eyes White Dragons existing in America. I honored his word and created my version of his Dragon themed Deck. And I play with my father's courage to show you that America is not under the standards of Duel monsters."
I cracked a smile to one side of my face after listening to Kevin, "This guy's good." I muttered under my breath and nodded convinced.
"Touching, but relying on the past to get you through the future is no philosophy of mine." Kaiba argued back in his own terms, "I made my Deck to show the world I was no pushover like I was as a kid. My Deck will even make my stepfather Gursaburo quake in fear like the day I took over his company and turned it into the successful corporation it stands today. The present is what only matters," Kaiba drew his next card, "and the present shows your defeat in the near future. Now I summon Cyber-Stein in attack mode!"
"Is this going where I think it's going?" Joey commented.
"He's going to summon the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon." Tea followed. In the usual routine, the card Cyber-Stein pulled was Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Ultiamte Dragon Dragon. The Hydra of a Dragon stood with all of the heads pivoting to get an eye's angle at Kevin's Blue-Eyes.
"Now my Dragon, attack his now! Neutron Blast!" Kaiba declared, the sudden explosion of power completely destroyed Kevin's Blue-Eyes White Dragon and depleted his Life Points to 6500.
"What did you say about Kaiba having difficulty getting his Dragons out?" I commented while rubbing it in.
"Now what Kevin? My Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is invincible." Kaiba boasted, "Cyber-Stein will finished my attack for this turn."
After dropping to 5750, Kevin shook to get back to his feet. "You know, I really doubt that Kaiba." Kevin cracked a smile, "You think your Dragon's invincible, but it has nothing to protect itself besides a massive attack strength."
"So you've come to the fact you have nothing to me." Kaiba cocked.
"I've come to that I have something superior to your so called Ultimate Dragon." Kevin replied.
"What is he talking about? There can't be anything more powerful than Kaiba's Ultimate Dragon." Duke commented.
"Maybe Kevin knows something we don't." I suggested, "You didn't know until when I Dueled there were a set of cards that created another God Monster. Perhaps Kevin has a sharp Dragon tooth we didn't see yet." I said with simile.
"You've snapped Hunter. Not even Yugi could have defeated my Ultimate Dragon during the Duelist Kingdom tournament. And you're saying an amateur such as yourself has something to make my Dragon fall?" Kaiba briefed.
"In lamest terms, yes." Kevin pulled another card, "First I'll play Graceful Charity to draw three cards and discard two from my hand." Kevin looked at his hand again after discarding Shining Abyss and Mask of Darkness. "Now that's what I'm talking about." Seeing in his hand the four cards he needed and cracked a smile of advantage.
'Does he really have something that can destroy my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon?' Kaiba thought as seeing the sneer cross Kevin's face.
"Alright Kaiba, now it's time to show you the prowess of my father's legacy as a Dragon Duelist." Kevin pulled the first card from his hand, "The first card is a magic card, Change of Heart to take control of your Cyber-Stein."
"I doubt it'll do you much. If you plan to use Cyber-Stein's effect, it'll decrease your Life Points further, vulnerable to another attack no matter what monster you pull." Kaiba objected scenarios to Kevin.
"Heh, who said I was going to use Cyber-Stein's effect is when I only need it alone." Kevin cocked, "I can pull this off without summoning a fusion monster. I just needed a machine monster to activate this, Mechanism of Chaos!" Kevin declared his magic card.
It was hinted that the holodeck didn't take this card to load lightly as it did with the God Monsters. The vibrations were strong as Cyber-Stein released a supersonic tone towards the sky. A flying mechanism floated above the Duel and above the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Dome-shaped on top with a point coming down towards the holodeck, Kevin appeared confident his magic card will work.
"What is that?! I've never heard of a card!" Kaiba shocked.
"Then I guess you won't know what sleeps inside. This is actually a research facility, where one genetic and bionic beast lays within, awaiting the day to obey its long forgotten master and carry out his wishes. The Mechanism of Chaos will be spoken for by its name alone, for the beast is about to be unleashed." Kevin declared and a light blue beam shot towards Cyber-Stein and destroyed it as the beam became a long standing light tower. "Behold one of the Dragons that led my father to victory!"
