Chapter 20: Legendary Warrior: Dragons, Part 3
_____________________________
The score stood Paul: 250 and Darien: 2050. Paul was losing fast right after Darien successfully summoned Tyrant Dragon. But Paul countered by specially summoning Kuribie (3500/2000) and destroying Darien's Tyrant Dragon. But then Darien summoned his Dead Dragon (3500/2000).
"It looks like you won't last this round as long as my Dead Dragon is on the field" Darien taunted. "With the Orichalcos Seal, I'll win"
"Your turn isn't over yet!" Paul yelled. "I'll place one card face down and switch Kuribie into defense mode. Now I end my turn"
Darien smirked. "So it looks like now I'll finally beat you! Dead Dragon can attack each monster on the field! And with no more monsters your as dead as a rock!" He yelled. "Now! Dead Dragon! Attack and destroy Kuribie!"
"Reverse magic card!" Paul yelled. "Cross Sacrifice!"
"With this I can sacrifice your monster and along with mine! So I now summon Lava Golem on your side! (3000/2500 +500)" Paul yelled. Suddenly a cage formed around Darien, trapping him. Then a pile of lava rose as a giant monster.
"What the?!" Darien said in shock. Paul didn't say anymore. "Heh, looks like this duel will be ending soon!". He then ended his turn.
Paul drew his next card. "Now! I summon Black Vorse Raider, in defense mode! (1900/1600)" He announced. "I'll also play one card face down and end my turn!"
Darien drew his next card. "You won't be standing long!" He yelled.
"I think not!" Paul yelled. Suddenly lava started dripping down over Darien. Darien growled as the heat burned him. He saw his life points reduce to 1050.
"What's going on?!" He yelled.
"Lava Golem will slowly reduce your life points every passing turn. You can't defeat me now!" Paul yelled.
"Now! Lava Golem! Destroy his Black Vorse Raider!" Darien yelled. Lava Golem blasted a fire ball at the warrior, destroying it. Darien then ended his turn.
Paul drew his next card. "Now it's over!" Paul yelled holding up the card in his hand.
"Not just yet!" Darien yelled. "Now I activate my face down card! Magic Soul Taker! By sacrificing half of my life points (D: 525) I can take your next magic card in your deck!"
"Fine go ahead! But it doesn't matter now!" Paul yelled as the card appeared face down on Darien's side of the field. He was allowed one quick glimpse. "Now! I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)"
"So?" Darien smirked.
"I'll then add this magic card! Dragon Morph! This will double my Blue Eyes' attack power! (6000/1500)" Paul yelled. "Now Blue Eyes White Dragon! Attack and destroy Lava Golem and win me this duel!"
"No!" Darien yelled. "Reverse magic card!"
Paul smirked. He knew what card Darien had took. He would stay a bit longer after this duel. "I knew it..." Paul thought.
"Activate Orichalcos Arrow!" Darien yelled. Suddenly an angel appeared. It turned around, facing Darien and shot it's arrow at his Steel Plate, destroying the Orichalcos Seal, permanently.
"But my attack still works! You've lost!" Paul yelled as the Blue Eyes unleashed a white lightning blast at Lava Golem, destroying it and reducing Darien's attack points to 0.
Darien remained up but he smiled and laughed. "I didn't think I would make it out, once you had the lead but then again. I can still torture you!" Darien yelled.
"What?!" Paul thought.
"Some special buildings are equipped with, bombs. And with the Kaiba Corp's war weapons, you'll be the first suspect!" Darien said as he showed his watch with a blinking button. Paul ran to stop him but Darien pressed it. Suddenly various orbs of lights flashed about and large explosions occurred, destroying several buildings around them.
"How could you do this?!" Paul sneered.
"It's your reputation, I just needed to bring it down" Darien smiled. Paul was filled with anger. He ran at him, lashing out his fist but Darien dodged and punched him hard in the stomach. Paul gasped and fell to the ground. "It's your reputation, and I've already won this battle"
Paul's eyes closed and he blacked out.
Daniel woke up to an early morning. He had nothing to do so he walked over into the living room and turned the T.V on. There was live breaking news.
"It looks like someone planted bombs in these buildings and set them off." The reporter said. Daniel's eyes opened wider in shock to see a piece of the bomb that had flown across the street. On it was Paul's logo.
"No... He couldn't have...." Daniel thought.
"The main suspect right now is Paul, the head of his own Duel Monsters company. If any sight of him please call 911." The reporter said. Daniel turned the T.V off and ran to the phone. He called Allen.
"Yeah I heard, but I don't believe it" Allen said. "I've already called Mink and Jess, they've heard about it too. It's just about on every channel!"
"Alright, let's meet at the park. We need to have a little chat with Paul" Daniel said. He then hung up and ran to his room to change.
He ran over to the park where Allen, Mink, and Jess showed up. As they began they heard someone walking up to them. They turned around and saw Paul walking slowly, undercover.
"I guess you guys heard too" He said.
"Oh yeah, sure we did, it was just about on every channel" Mink said sarcastically.
"So what's up?" Jess asked.
"It was my brother..." Paul said looking to the corner of his eyes.
"Darien?! He's back? Now?!" Allen said in shock.
"We'll have to deal with him. But we have to show everyone it wasn't you who started those bombs." Daniel said.
"I know, but how?" Paul asked.
"Where's Darien now?" Mink asked. Paul shrugged.
"Well how do you expect us to help you if we can't find your brother?!" Allen said.
Suddenly Paul froze. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You'll actually bother to waste time to help us?" He said in shock.
"Yeah, I mean this is a wrong crime and we know it wasn't you now" Daniel said.
"But what if..." Paul went on.
"Don't push it" Mink smiled, interrupting him.
Aeo watched the news from her room. It was weird how this all happened. It was Paul, she couldn't believe it. Meanwhile the woman sat infront of her mirror, brushing her hair. She had her T.V on and smiled at the destruction.
Suddenly dark red eyes appeared on the dark window. There were strange growling noises and the woman seemed to hear it all.
"How? Bounty Hunters are in order. There'll surely be a reward for the capture and arrest of that Paul. Bounty Hunters are always the right thing" The woman smiled, as if she replied to the dark red eyes. The growling came again.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing" She replied, smiling, he cherry red lips shining in the mirror.
