Chapter 25: Crushed
______________________________
"Shouldn't you be somewhere" Aeo hissed at the guy walking with her.
"Listen, babe..." He went on.
"Do NOT call me that!" Aeo hissed again.
"Whatever, I have better things to do than go on and battle who or what" The boy said sarcastically.
"You don't want to get fired" Aeo smirked.
"Heh, I already quit" The guy smirked.
"Listen, Joe, if you keep flirting with me, I'm going to have to..." Aeo went on.
"You're gonna what? Scream?" Joe laughed. Aeo closed her eyes and stopped. "I mean, why should I hang around some creep who hates me when I can hang around someone who likes..."
"I do NOT like you...." Aeo mumbled.
"Whatever, I know ya do. So what kind of duelist are you? I could be some kind of guard for you!" Joe said sarcastically.
"I can fend for myself, I don't need you to do my work" Aeo said.
"Ahh, those girls, the ones that are always on their own, you know, they never make it out into the real world." Joe said.
"What?!" Aeo said turning around to face him. "How dare you question my ability. I hope you know I'm in a higher rank of dueling than you are"
"Then show it!" Joe smiled as he showed his Steel Plate. "I challenge you, Aeo, to a duel"
"Gladly! Then I can bring you off of my back!" Aeo said, taking her top card off of her deck. "Now! Orichalcos Seal!"
"Whoa whoa whoa..." Joe said as the Seal appeared on the very ground they stood in.
"What's the matter?! Scared?!" Aeo taunted as the seal of the Orichalcos started to glow on her forehead.
"No!" Joe said.
"Then I'll continue this duel!" Aeo said, taking her set of cards. "Now! I summon Official Knight! (1900/1200 +500) Then I place one card face down and end my turn!"
Joe drew his set of cards. "Now! To match things up, I play Seal of The Orichalcos!" He announced. Suddenly the seal around them started to glow stronger and the seal appeared on Joe's forehead. "Now! I summon Black Vorse Raider! (1900/600 +500) Now!"
"Bring it!" Aeo yelled.
"Fine! Now I play High Tide which allows me to special summon a water monster from my hand! Now I summon Aqua Torpedo! (200/300 +500)" He announced. "Now! Black Vorse Raider! Attack and destroy Official Knight!"
Joe's warrior dove at the knight, slashing it into two, and destroying it. "Errg..." Aeo said, shielding herself from the attack. Suddenly Black Vorse Raider exploded into pieces since both monsters had the same attack.
"Now! Aqua Torpedo! Attack her life points directly!" Joe announced. Suddenly the torpedo launched itself at Aeo. Aeo yelped as it hit her hard. "And when I attack directly with Aqua Torpedo, the damage is doubled!"
Aeo growled as her life points lowered to 2600. Suddenly Black Vorse Raider appeared on Aeo's side of the field.
"What?! How did you do that?!" Joe said in shock.
"You forget my Official Knight has a special ability! It gives me control over the monster that had attacked it!" Aeo yelled.
"No way!" Joe said in shock.
"I'll take that as ending your turn" Aeo smirked. "Now! I summon Queen's Knight! (1500/1600 +500)"
"No!" Joe yelled, fearing the worst for his life points.
"Now! Queen's Knight, Attack and destroy Aqua Torpedo!" Aeo announced. The warrior dove at the mechanical torpedo, destroying it and reducing Joe's life points to 2700. "Now! Black Vorse Raider! Attack his life points directly!"
The warrior dove at Joe, slashing at him. Joe screamed as he flew to the ground, his life points reducing to 300.
"How could you be so harsh..." He said, getting back up.
"Oh what's the matter?! Can't keep your strength up or do you want to go running home?" Aeo taunted. "It's guys like you who show off to much and end up in the dirt that make me sick. You make me sick"
"Fine! You denied me, now I'll send you straight to hell!" Joe yelled.
"Oh I'm so scared, go on with your turn" Aeo yelled.
Joe drew his next card and smirked. "Now! I summon a monster in defense mode and end my turn" He announced.
Aeo drew her next card. "Now! It's time for me to win this duel...." Aeo said holding up a card in her hand. "I sacrifice Queen's Knight and Black Vorse Raider to summon my ultimate, Castle of The Kings! (2700/2400)"
"What the?!" Joe said in shock as a giant castle rose above behind Aeo. The castle reached high into the sky. Aeo stood in the door way, looking evilly at Joe.
"I warned you but your mouth kept going, now it's time to pay the price" Aeo hissed. "Castle of The King's destroys all monsters on the field!"
Suddenly Joe's face down monster began to glow and it exploded. Suddenly Cyber Jar appeared. "Heh! You activated my Cyber Jar's effect!" Joe laughed. Suddenly a beam shot out from the castle and at the machine, destroying it instantly. "What?!"
"Castle of The King's is unaffected by anything. You can't destroy this monster!" Aeo laughed. "Now! By sacrificing half of my life points (A: 1300) I can double my Castle's attack points! (6400/2400)"
"No! What kind of a duelist are you?!" Joe said in shock.
"One you'll regret for questioning" Aeo smiled evilly. "Now! Castle of The Kings! Attack his life points directly!"
Suddenly the castle began to glow. Warriors stood up, armed with cannons. They then yelled a battle cry and launched them directly at Joe. The cannon balls flew all around him, creating explosions. Joe screamed as he felt pain from the strong attack. His life points lowered to 0.
Aeo turned her Steel Plate off and smirked. The Orichalcos Seal grew around Joe and started taking his soul. She looked at her Orichalcos Seal. Within it was Joe's soul. It was a special moment, her first soul ever. She knew her mom wouldn't be upset with one loss of a Bounty Hunter. Because she'd do the same thing if she was Aeo's age.
Aeo's Kingdom Deck was successful. It failed once but it'll never fail again. She smiled deep within. In the picture of her mind was Daniel.
