Chapter 48: Wrath of Dark Dragons.

Daniel finally came to his sense and arrived down the stairs. Jess, Kai, Mink, and Devon sat around on the big sofas infront of a large coffee table.
"Finally. Allen's doing alright. He had a bit of a bad attack but he'll survive." Mink said, standing up.
"Great..." Daniel said, trying to sound happy. He glanced up at Paul who stood on a lower balcony, waiting for the next duel to start.
Vice was no where insight. Bakura and Darien hid in the darkest parts of the lobby, waiting for some prey to come. Aeo sat by herself, sipping some tea.
"It sucks that Allen didn't win... I wish he did..." Mink said, looking down.
"Allen's a tough person... He'll be strong about it" Jess said.
Suddenly the judge called for everyone to gather round. "Duel number two will start as soon as the two duelists are chosen" He announced, pressing the button on the panel for the air fan to work on the bingo machine. The marbles flew again. It was quick that the first duelist appeared over onto the slot. The judge took it. "The duelist in the second round is duelist number 8, Aeo!"
"Wow... Wonder who her opponent is..." Devon said. Suddenly another marble slid out of the tube.
"And the next duelist is duelist number is duelist number 6, Darien!" The judge announced. Suddenly Daniel's neck jerked.
"How is this duel going to be like..." Daniel wondered. Darien stepped up. His Obelisk Staff was no where to be found on hid body, it looked like he'll be fighting with his own strength.
Aeo stood up, with her Duel Xero ready. Everyone but Bakura and Paul followed along to watch. Like Paul is, he didn't care for such a ridiculous duel.
The elevator rose up to the stadium. The screen turned on, showing Darien and Aeo standing up to their field. "Well well well, one of the strongest members of the Super 65, ready to face me. I'm sure you have no clue who I am" Darien smirked.
"Save it, I'll crush you either way! You don't have what it takes! You don't even have a title of some sort!" Aeo yelled.
"Fine... Now! Chose my deck master!" Suddenly his deck slid out a card. He took it and slid it into his Field Card Zone. "My deck master is Spear Dragon! (1900/0)"
Aeo had her feet together, her plaid skirt blew in the wind and her face blew to the left. "Now! Chose my deck master!" Aeo yelled. Suddenly a card slid out of her deck. "And my deck master is Castle of The Queen's! Now start this duel!"
"Very well..." Darien said, drawing his first hand. "Now I summon Black X Dragon! (1500/1300)"
"Now I activate my deck master's effect!" Aeo yelled. "By sacrificing 1000 life points, (A: 3000) I can negate your summoning and destroy your monster!"
"Ooo, good deck master" Darien taunted as his Black X Dragon exploded. "I'll set 2 cards face down and end my turn!"
Aeo drew her next card. "Now! I summon Baruga Knight! (1900/200)" She yelled. "Now! Baruga Knight, attack his life points directly!"
"Reverse trap card!" Darien announced. "Lost Dimension! This will negate your attack and allow me to summon the same level monster as yours, from my hand"
"Err..." Aeo growled.
"Now! I summon Sapphire Dragon! (1900/600)" Darien yelled.
"I end my turn..." Aeo announced.
Darien drew his next card. "Now! I play this magic card, Black Hole! To destroy every monster on the field!" He yelled. Suddenly a black hole appeared, sucking up Aeo's Baruga Knight and Darien's Sapphire Dragon.
"Heh" Aeo smirked. "Since you destroyed my Baruga Knight, I can summon this! Big Shield Guardna in defense mode! (100/2600)"
"That'll do you no good!" Darien yelled. "Now I play Yeild Tribute to summon this, Yamata Dragon! (2600/3100)"
"What?!" Aeo said in shock as a dragon with multiple heads appeared. They all snapped around, searching for prey.
"Then I activate this magic card! God's Light! This will increase Yamata Dragon's attack by 500! (3100/3100)" Darien yelled. "Now! Yamata Dragon! Attack and destroy Big Shield Guardna!"
The dragon head's each blasted a orange blast at the warrior, destroying it. Suddenly the blast hit Aeo. Aeo screamed as she covered herself. Her life points dropped to 2500. "What? How did I lose life points?!" Aeo said in shock.
"Heh..." Darien smirked. "You lost life points because of my Deck Master's effect. Each time I attack a defense monster, you'll still lose life points! You can't hide from me now! And Yamata Dragon allows me to draw until I have 5 cards in my hand every time I do damage to you."
Darien drew from his deck.
"Shit... I can't win if I can't go into defense" Aeo growled. Suddenly she took a close look at the monster. "Heh I've seen that kind of monster before. It's a spirit monster! Once you end your turn, it'll go back to your hand and you're life points will be free for attacking!"
"I don't think so..." Darien smiled. "Now! Reverse magic card! Returning Spirit!"
"What?!" Aeo said in shock.
"Now I can sacrifice 500 life points at each of my turns to special summon a spirit monster onto the field. But I end my turn for now" Darien announced. Suddenly Yamata Dragon turned into a glowing sphere and fused into the card. Darien took the card back into his hand.
Aeo drew her next card. "Now! I summon Queen's Knight! (1500/1600)" She yelled. "Now! Direct attack!"
The knight dove at Darien, slashing him across the chest with her sword. Darien growled, clutching his chest as his life points reduced to 2500. Aeo then ended her turn.
"Now! I sacrifice 500 life points (D: 2000) to summon back my Yamata Dragon! (2600/3100)" Darien announced. "And I also summon Fierce Dragon! (1000/1200) Now! Yamata Dragon! Attack and destroy her Queen's Knight!"
The dragon heads blasted orange beams at the knight, destroying it and reducing her life points to 1100. "No!" Aeo growled.
"Now! Fierce Dragon attack her life points directly!" Darien yelled again. The small dragon blasted a red beam from it's mouth at Aeo. Aeo screamed as he life points reduced to 100.
"Wow... She's in a bad place to be..." Devon said.
"Tell me about it...." Jess said.
Darien smirked, ending his turn. Suddenly Yamata Dragon turned back into a glowing white orb and went back into Darien's hand.
Aeo drew her next card. "I can't lose...." She said. "Now! I play Castle of The Queen's onto the field! (2700/2400)"
Suddenly the giant castle behind her moved up onto the field. "Heh...." Darien said.
"Now! Castle of The Queen's! Attack his Fierce Dragon!" Aeo yelled.
"Reverse trap card! Back-Turn Destruction!!" He yelled. "This will seal your fate! Because now I can sacrifice Fierce Dragon to permanently take over your Castle of The Queen's!"
"No!" Aeo said.
"And since you have no cards in your hand it's my turn and I have control of your deck master and this duel is over! Now I sacrifice Castle of The Queen's to summon Emerald Dragon! (2400/1500)" Darien yelled.
"Aeo's Deck Master has been destroyed, Darien is the winner!" The judge announced, raising his hand on Darien's side.
"No! I lost..." Aeo said falling down to her knees. Suddenly she grew angry. "Forget you all! This tournament was useless to begin with!"
She stomped off down the elevator and out of the building.
"Phew...." Daniel thought. "Darien didn't have to force out a strong kind of strategy against her...."
"Forget it, she was too easy. Don't see how she got to the finals" Darien smirked, looking at Daniel.
"Stay out of my mind Darien... You have another target." Daniel snapped at Darien. Darien laughed and walked off down the stairs, the long way down to the building.
