Chapter 8: Death Duel, Part 1
______________________________
Mink, Allen, and Jess sat there, waiting for anything to show up. It was getting dark and there was still no sight of Daniel.
Daniel pondered around. He had no clue where he was or where his friends were. Suddenly he heard a chuckle. Daniel turned around swiftly to see a girl, chuckling at his loneliness.
"Poor dear sweet Danny, lost in a world he can't help but fight against" The girl said walking toward him.
"Member of the Super 65.... Who are you!" Daniel demanded to know. "Why have you trapped us in here?!"
"Us? There's no one else around but you and me" The girl smiled, stopping at a desk and leaning on it.
"What do you mean?" Daniel said a bit confused.
"All your other friends have left... take a look" The girl smiled. Suddenly a holographic screen showed up. Paul and Allen were arguing then Paul left. Mink and Jess stood there then the screen vanished. "They're all outside waiting."
"They won't leave without me I know it!" Daniel yelled.
"Yeah Yeah I know. But they might as well be waiting there forever because you won't be coming out!" The girl yelled. "I, Aeo Kikyru challenge you, the King of Games to a death duel!"
"Death duel?!" Daniel said shocked. Aeo smiled and pressed a button on her watch. Suddenly the walls around them fell over revealing a dark room. Suddenly two shackles clamped onto their arms and legs. It measured their heart beat.
"A Death Duel, one of my most favorites. You'll find out soon enough but now! To make sure you don't even escape! I'll set this up! Orichalcos Seal!" Aeo yelled, sliding the card into her Field Card Zone.
Suddenly the roof opened up, revealing dark clouds. The Orichalcos Seal quickly lowered from the sky and onto the ground, forming the field. Daniel shielded himself from the violent wind that the Seal gave off. Aeo began to laugh, dark power fused within her, giving the Orichalcos Seal on her forehead and dark red gleams in her eyes. She drew her next round of cards.
"Now! I summon Squire To The Queen! In attack mode! (1500/1200 +500)" Aeo announced. "This will automatically special summon Squire To The King! (1400/1800 +500)"
"What the...." Daniel said a bit shocked.
"And since I summoned Squire To The King! It allows me to summon another Squire To The Queen! (1500/1200 +500)" Aeo announced. "And now! I'll play Polymerization! To fuse Squire To The King and Squire To The Queen to form King and Queen's Throne! (2600/2900 +500)". Suddenly the two warriors fused together, forming a woman on a throne.
Aeo then finally ended her turn. Daniel smiled. "Now it's my turn!" He yelled, taking his next card. "And I'll use this!"
Daniel held up three cards in his hand: Gazelle, The King of Mythical Beasts, Baffomet, and Polymerization. Aeo gasped as to his combination.
"Now! I activate Polymerization! Fusing Gazelle and Baffomet into Winged Beast, Chimera! (2100/1800)" Daniel yelled as the fusion card appeared, shooting out the winged beast. "Now! Chimera attack Squire To The Queen!"
The beast dove at the warrior. It struck it with it's set of horns, destroying it and leaving Aeo with 3900. Suddenly the shackles that were on Aeo began to glow. Electricity followed through the shackles to her and she began to scream. She felt pain through out her body. Daniel knew that her plans were soon to back fire. This Death Duel was just stupid. "You....." She uttered as she stood up.
"I'll then set a card face down and end my turn!" He announced.
Aeo drew her next card. "Now! King and Queen's Throne attack!" Aeo announced. The woman unleashed a black beam at the beast.
"Now! I activate my face down card! De-Fusion!" Daniel yelled as his magic card flipped up, trapping the beast in an orb and negating the attack. Suddenly the one beast became two. Aeo growled and ended her turn, setting a card face down.
"Now I'll draw!" Daniel yelled taking the next card ontop of his deck, he took a small glimpse of it and grinned. "Now I'll sacrifice Baffomet and Gazelle to summon Buster Blader! (2600/2300) I'll then play this! Preserved Nutrients which will increase my monster's attack power by 600!".
Suddenly Buster Blader began to glow light green, it's attack points raising to 3200. "Heh...." Aeo smirked.
"Now! Buster Blader attack King and Queen's Throne!" Daniel announced.
"It won't be that easy because now I activate Backfire!" Aeo yelled as her trap card flipped up.
Suddenly a mirror formed infront of King and Queen's Throne, with Daniel's picture on it. Buster Blader cut through it and the mirror shattered. Suddenly Daniel screamed, feeling the pain from the Death Duel as his life points decreased to 2400. Daniel fell to his knees, feeling the shocking for what seemed like hours. It finally stopped and smoke was floating away from him.
Aeo laughed at his failed achievement but saw him stand up. "Now you feel the pain I suffered from the earlier attack. I will win this duel so easily!" Aeo laughed. "And I'll take your soul and break up your little friendship!"
Daniel lifted his head up. "Why..." He asked.
"Why what?!" Aeo snapped.
"Why me, why us, why?! There's some obvious reason you want to get us back. You're not listening to your bosses order's... are you?" Daniel asked.
"That's none of your business! Now end your turn!" Aeo yelled, pointing at him.
"Fine..." Daniel said, ending his turn.
"Finally..." Aeo said out loud, drawing her next card. "Now! I'll play this field magic card! Nosferatu's Castle!"
Suddenly a giant castle began to rise from the ground, behind Aeo. It stood high and evil laughter filled the wind.
"Errrg..." Daniel muttered looking high up.
"Nosferatu's Castle increases all of my warrior type monsters 500 attack points! Increasing my King and Queen's Throne!" Aeo yelled as her warrior grew to 3600. "Now King and Queen's Throne! Attack Buster Blader!"
The woman on the throne blasted another black beam, directed at Daniel's Buster Blader. The attack was successful and Buster Blader was destroyed, leaving Daniel with 2000 life points. Daniel saw the shackles begin to glow. He let out a growl trying to fight the pain as he was electrocuted.
Aeo laughed at his struggle. "Why?! What's your problem?!" Daniel yelled out as Aeo laughed.
"Because you nearly killed my father... you and your stupid friends" Aeo growled. Daniel tried to remember, she didn't have the looks of Roa. "My father... as you call him 'Stagg'...."
The electricity stopped and Daniel fell to his knees. "Stagg was a bad man... We had to stop his craving for the God Cards" Daniel said.
"No! You all were too selfish! He wanted what was his! That God Card was his and his alone! You took it away from him, took his soul and when he was released! He ended up in the sea and fought for his life!" Aeo snapped. "This is why I'm here! To bring down what everyone loves most! You!"
Aeo's words filled Daniel's ears. He felt... bad for this girl. He began to think if he really deserved this.
He looked up at her and Aeo looked angrily into his eyes. "You're right...." He said. "I deserve to be put down"
He held his hand up, beginning to slowly put it on top of his deck.
