Chapter 22: First Strike: Duel of Dice, Part 1
______________________________
Daniel called Jess up. "Careful, Bounty Hunters are after us. Don't let your guard down. Stay close to anyone you know and trust. I'm here with Mink, and don't know where Allen or Paul is" Daniel said.
"Right, I'll be careful" Jess replied. Daniel smiled and turned his cell off.
"So what now?" Mink asked.
"Let them come, we'll beat them" Daniel said looking up ahead of the road.
"Too bad, I've already done that" A voice said. Daniel and Mink turned around, it was the same guy an hour ago but in different clothes. He wore the Hamikai School Uniform.
"So, you joined the Super 65" Mink said getting ready for anything.
"You betcha, the name's Devon, and I challenge one of you to a duel!" He said, holding his Steel Plate up and turning it on, he then slipped his deck into the Deck holster.
"You go ahead, Dan. He found you first" Mink said to him.
"Fine! I accept your challenge! If I win, you leave us and Paul alone!" Daniel yelled.
"And if I win... I get the information I want, and claim your soul!" Devon yelled as he took his set of cards and placed one into the Field Zone. "Now I activate Orichalcos Seal!"
"No! Mink get back!" Daniel yelled to her. Suddenly a giant wind picked up and blew against them. Daniel and Devon stood but the force pushed Mink back. She screamed and flew out of the range of the seal which lowered from the sky and set the field.
"Are you ok?!" Daniel yelled.
"Yeah! Beat him!" Mink yelled.
"You'll pay for doing that..." Daniel growled at Devon.
"Hey she said she was ok" Devon smirked. "But you'll be the one who won't be ok..."
"Make your move!" Daniel yelled.
"Very well!" Devon said holding up a card. "One card face down and then I summon Dice Demon in defense mode! (500/1500 +500) I'll then end my turn"
Daniel drew his next card. "I'll place two cards face down, Now! I summon Z Metal Caterpillar! (1500/1600)" He announced as his monster summoned onto the field. "I'll then play this magic card, Goblin Fee, by sacrificing 500 life points I can special summon a monster from my hand (DA: 3500). Now I summon X Head Cannon!"
"So..." Devon smirked.
"Now I'll equip Z Metal Caterpillar to X Head Cannon!" Daniel yelled as the two monster's combined and X Head Cannon's attack grew to 2400. "Now! X Head Cannon! Attack and destroy Dice Demon!"
"Not so fast!" Devon yelled. "I activate Dice Demon's effect!"
"What?!" Daniel said as the demon spat out a die.
"During your battle phase, I'm allowed to roll a dice. Depending on the dice's number, I can times it by 100. All I need is a 5 or a 6" Devon smiled as the dice stopped on a 5. "Yes! This increase my Dice Demon's defense by 500! (500/2500)"
"No! His defense is higher than my attack!" Daniel thought as X Head Cannon's cannons blasted away at the he demon. The demon broke through the attack. The missiles fired back, smacking into Daniel. Daniel screamed as his own attack was reflected, lowering his life points to 3400.
"Now it's my turn!" Devon announced. He then drew his next card and smiled. "Now! I sacrifice Dice Demon to summon this!"
Daniel saw him slap down the card he had drew. "What could it be...." He thought.
"I summon Growth! (1500/1900 +500)" Devon announced as the monster rose to the field. "This monster, is just like Dice Demon, but worse"
Daniel growled. "No, he can't win this battle" Daniel thought.
"Now! Dice Roll!" Devon yelled. Suddenly a dice appeared and dropped to the ground. It rolled and rolled. "But before the number is revealed! I activate this! Dice Reproduction!"
"What?!" Daniel said in shock.
"Dice Reproduction! I may roll a second dice and add it to Growth's ability!" Devon laughed as the magic card threw out a dice.
Both dice rolled and finally came to a stop, each landing on 6.
"No way!" Mink said out loud. Growth's attack points rose to 3200.
"Now Growth! Attack and destroy X Head Cannon!" Devon yelled, pointing at the monster.
The demon dove at the machine, ready to strike it down. "Reverse trap card!" Daniel yelled. "Now I activate Diemension Strike!" He yelled. "This will protect X Head Cannon, along with Z Metal Caterpillar so I can take on the direct damage!"
"Are you kidding me? And risk most of your life points!" Devon yelled. The demon struck Daniel. He screamed as he flew to the ground. Devon laughed as his life points reached 200.
"That's not all!" Daniel said, smiling.
"What?!" Devon said, shocked.
"Now! Reverse trap card! Enchanted Javelin!" Daniel yelled as his trap card flew up. "This will gain me back the exact same life points of your monster's attack points!"
"No! I would have been in a big advantage!" Devon said, shocked at Daniel's play.
Daniel's life points rose back up to 3400. "Heh" Daniel smirked.
"I... end my turn" Devon growled.
"And now I can return X Head Cannon back to the field!" He announced. Devon smiled.
"It's too bad! If you even try to attack, I have faith in dice and they'll help me when I really need it!" Devon yelled.
"Your wrong! What I'm about to do next will destroy your Growth!" Daniel yelled. "Now! I summon Y Dragon Head! (1500/1600)" He announced. "Now! I sacrifice X Head Cannon, Y Dragon Head, and Z Metal Caterpillar to fusion summon XYZ Dragon Cannon! (2800/2600)"
All three machines formed together into one monsters. Devon gasped as the monster loomed over him. "And with a 2800 attack, your monster dead since it can't go higher than 600!" He yelled. "Now! XYZ Dragon Cannon attack and destroy!"
The machines aimed their cannons at Growth and fired a round of missiles. "Now! Dice Roll!" Devon yelled. The dice rolled to a 3 and he growled.
The monster was destroyed instantly. Devon shielded himself from the debris that flew at him from Growth, his life points reducing to 3500.
Daniel smiled and ended his turn. Devon drew his next card and smiled. "Now! It's time to bring this duel into a new game" He smiled, showing him the card he drew.
"What?! A new game?!" Daniel said, surprised.
"Now! I play Dungeon Dice Field!" Devon yelled as he placed the card into his Field Card zone.
"Dungeon Dice Field....." Daniel thought as the field started to dissort, changing into a big grid.
"With this new game at my mercy, I can finally take full advantage of you!" Devon laughed.
