Chapter 38: Return of The Dice, Part 1

______________________________

"I hope we'll still atleast know each other after this duel" Devon said as he held his Duel Xero up.

"Don't worry, we can be friends" Allen smirked. "Now! Chose my Deck Master!".

Suddenly Allen's deck slid out a card. Allen took it and looked at it. "So what is it?" Devon asked.

"My Deck Master is Dark Knight Gaia!" Allen yelled as he slid it into his Field Card Zone. Devon then activated his Duel Xero to chose his Deck Master. His duel disk slid out a card.

"And my Deck Master will be Graud Gil Gars!" Devon yelled as he slid the card into his Field Card Zone.

"Now! Duel!" They both yelled as their life points each rose up to 4000.

"I'll take the first move!" Allen yelled, drawing his next set of cards. "I summon The Retrained Elven Swordsman in defense mode! (1400/1200) I'll then set a card face down and end my turn!"

Devon drew his next card. "Now! I activate Summon Dice!" He yelled as he placed the card onto the field. "By sacrificing 1000 life points (D: 3000) I can roll a dice and depending on the number, I can summon a low or higher leveled monster!"

Suddenly a plain white dice flew out from the card and rolled to the ground. Devon was pretty confident in what roll he'd get. The dice landed on a 5. "Crap..." Allen thought.

"Now! I summon my Dice Launcher! (0/2450) In defense mode!" Devon yelled as a large cannon materialized onto the field. "Now! I'll activate it's effect! By sacrificing three cards from my hand..."

Allen saw him place three cards from his hand into the graveyard. "What is he crazy?!" Allen wondered, knowing he only had one card in his hand.

"I can roll three dice and depending on the number you'll lose 100 times the number!" Devon yelled, smiling.

"Holy crap!" Allen said in shock, taking a step back.

"Now! Dice Launcher! Fire!" Devon yelled. The cannon lowered and shot three dice onto the ground. They each landed on a 2, 3, and 5. "This means you lose 1000 life points!"

Suddenly the three dice infront of Allen exploded on him. He gasped in pain as his life points lowered to 3000. "Jeez... That was fast..." Allen thought.

"And since I special summoned Dice Launcher, I'll special summon another one!" Devon yelled. "Since this is the only card in my hand, I special summon my own Dark Knight Gaia! (2300/2100)"

"No way...." Allen thought.

"Now! I end my turn from here!" Devon yelled.

Allen drew his next card. "Now! I summon Battle Warrior Omega in defense mode! (300/1200)" He announced. "I'll then end my turn"

Devon drew his next card. "Now! I'll discard this card from my hand to activate Dice Launcher's effect!" Devon yelled. The cannon spat out a dice which landed on 4. The dice exploded again but Allen shielded himself. His life points now stood at 2600. "Now! Dark Knight Gaia! Attack and destroy Battle Warrior Omega!"

The knight commanded it's horse to charge which it did. "Reverse trap card!" Allen yelled. "Sun Face Beginning!"

"What?!" Devon said in shock.

Suddenly a giant sun protected Battle Warrior Omega. The sun had it's eyes closed and a smiling mouth. As the knight tried to pierce it, the Sun's eyes shot open. The knight was launched back.

"This trap card will end your battle phase and allow me to summon a monster from my deck! Now I summon The Fiend Megacyber! (2200/1200)" Allen yelled.

"Errr... I end my turn..." Devon growled.

Allen quickly drew his card. "Now! I activate this, Polymerization! To fuse Battle Warrior Omega and The Fiend Megacyber into Dark Borgman Warrior! (3200/2050)" He yelled. The two warriors fused together into the Borgman.

Devon smirked. "What do you expect to do with that thing?" He said.

Allen looked at the monster and gasped. "Crap! This guy can only directly, even if I do attack... I'll take the same amount of damage resulting in a draw..." He thought. "I end my turn from here...."

Devon drew his next card. "Now! I sacrifice Dice Launcher and Dark Knight Gaia for Luck Cannon! (2500/2100)" Devon yelled as the cannon shaped as a clover appeared onto the field. "This will decide our fates! You have no chance of winning now!"

"Oh yeah! Let's see what you got!" Allen yelled back.

Vice looked beyond the crowd. Some parents along with their kids looked strangely at him, knowing he seemed kind of old to be playing such games. But they didn't know what kind of past this game held. He wanted to win. Paul would be the one ahead and so would Daniel. Either target suited him well.

He had told Spinks and Diego to lay this one out. It was some sort of destiny that combined the three together. Was Vice actually one of the Legendary Warriors? One of 6 that tried to destroy the world due to the Duel Monsters War?
