Chapter 50: New Guardians, New Terror, Part 2.
_______________________________
The score stood at Vice: 4000 and Bakura: 3850. Vice was just getting started, and so was Bakura.
"Draw!" Bakura yelled, drawing his next card. "Now I set a card face down and summon Drillago in defense mode! (1600/1500). Now I end my turn!"
Vice drew his next card. "Now! I play this magic card, Shield of Defense! I equip this to Guardian Ketsu which will increase it's defense by 1000! (1000/3200)" He announced. "Then I sacrifice Petrified Guardian to summon this, Guardian Balogra! (50/3700)"
"Another Guardian...." Bakura growled.
"And since I sacrificed my Petrified Guardian, it gains 2000 defense! (50/4700)" Vice yelled. "Now! Gelbeck, attack and destroy Drillago!"
"Your first mistake!" Bakura smiled. "Reverse trap card, Dark Spirit of The Silent which will direct your attack to my Jurugen Re-Dead!"
"Heh..." Vice smirked as Gelbeck's flying axe stopped and struck Jurugen Re- Dead instead of Drillago.
"And since you attacked my monster, it's effect allows me to play this! Dark Spirit of The Sanctuary!" Bakura yelled as his magic card materialized onto the field, face up. "Each turn I'll switch my dark spirit to one of your monsters, if your unlucky enough, you'll attack with the wrong monster and pay the price!"
"Whatever." Vice smirked, ending is turn.
Bakura drew his next card. "Now I summon another Jurugen Re-Dead in defense mode! (1400/1200)" He said. "And I set a card face then end my turn"
Vice drew his next card. "It's too simple... He won't be controlling Guardian Ketsu for it's weakness, it's within Gelbeck..." Vice said, looking at Gelbeck. "Now! Reverse trap card, Transparent Attack! Now I'll attack you directly, Guardian Ketsu! Direct attack!"
"I don't think so..." Bakura laughed. Suddenly Guardian Ketsu froze and the dark spirit emerged from her body, charging right into Vice. Vice gasped as the spirit rammed into him, reducing his life points to 3500. He saw Bakura's life points increase to 4350. "You got to be a lot smarter than that."
Vice growled. "Now! Gelbeck! Attack his Drillago!" He yelled.
"Reverse trap card! Dark Spirit of The Silent!" Bakura yelled. Vice narrowed his eyes in anger as Gelbeck's flying axe switched direction and aimed at his Jurugen Re-Dead, destroying it.
"And now I play my second Dark Spirit of The Sanctuary!" Bakura yelled as his magic card materialized onto the field.
Vice growled, ending his turn. Bakura drew his next card. "Now! I sacrifice Drillago to summon Ghost Duke! (2000/700) Then I activate this card, Shrink!" Bakura yelled. "This will decrease your Gelbeck's attack by half! (1300/1350)"
"Gelbeck..." Vice growled, knowing it was going down.
"Now! Ghost Duke attack and destroy Gelbeck!" Bakura yelled. The duke jumped into the air at Gelbeck, then thrusting the Rapier into Gelbeck's chest, destroying it, and reducing Vice's life points to 2800.
Bakura laughed, ending his turn. Vice drew his next card. Suddenly he burst out laughing.
"What could be so funny..." Bakura smirked.
"Because now I'll show you another one of my strong Guardians" Vice said as he held up the card. "Now I sacrifice Guardian Ketsu and Guardian Balogra to summon this! Grandmaul! (1200/1400)"
Suddenly a giant hex ring appeared and the warrior began to lift from it. It's armor was jet black. It's face was hidden by the cover infront and it wielded two long obelisk swords for smashing and easy slicing. It's legs were like wolves legs. It's wolfish detail showed, a gray tail hanging out from behind, it's muzzle almost showing, and two gleaming yellow piercing eyes through the helmet. It's arms and legs had fur all over.
"Grandmaul? But it's so weak..." Devon said.
"Level 12... Don't think so..." Daniel said. "Never underestimate a Guardian"
"Heh, whatever my two spirits will just take over his monster" Bakura smirked as he saw the two spirit try to emerge into Grandmaul. Suddenly the spirits screamed and flung away.
"I see your trying to get into my new Guardian..." Vice snickered. "But too bad, Grandmaul is unaffected by any magic or trap cards."
"What?!" Bakura said in shock, taking a step back.
"Now! I activate Back-up Soldier! Returning Guardian Ketsu back to my hand!" Vice yelled. "And Grandmaul allows me to attack your directly so now! Grandmaul attack his life points directly!"
The wolf warrior dove into the air, it's two obelisk swords in each hand, raised above it's head. It then shot down at Bakura and sliced him two times across the chest. Bakura yelled out, falling to his knees at his life points reduced to 3150.
Vice smirked, ending his turn. Bakura drew his next card. "So... my spirits cannot take over his monster, I'll just have to destroy it then..." Bakura smiled at his next card. "Now! I summon Helado! (1000/1200) By sacrificing half of my life points (B: 1575)"
"So, what good will that do..." Vice said.
"It'll decrease all my monsters by half and allow each and every one of my monsters to attack your life points directly!" Bakura yelled. "Now! Ghost Duke (1000/700), Helado! (500/1200) attack his life points directly!"
Vice covered himself as the two monsters struck him. His life points reduced to 1300. Bakura laughed, ending his turn.
Vice drew his next card and smiled. "Now it's time to end this duel!" He yelled as he held up a card in his hand. "Now! I play Pedestal of Nurian into attack mode! (1200/3700)" Vice yelled. Suddenly the stone platform flipped up. The diamond with a green gem embedded in the middle started to glow. "Then I add this! Sword of Nurian which will increase it's attack by 3000!"
"No!" Bakura growled, forcing the two Dark Spirits into Pedestal of Nurian.
Vice smirked. "it won't do you no good. I can see your two spirits and Grandmaul forces all equip cards to itself, so you can't use then anymore!" Vice yelled. "And Sword of Nurian allows me to summon monsters equal to the cards I sacrifice! So I sacrifice my whole hand! (4 cards)"
"No! I can't lose!" Bakura yelled in a desperate cry.
"Now! I summon Guardian Ketsu! (1000/1800) Gelbeck! (2600/1350) And Gerajuku! (1200/2100)" Vice yelled. "And now! My Guardians attack his monsters, then his life points directly!"
All four monsters started to glow, unleashing their own element of attack at the monsters, then at Bakura. After his two monsters were destroyed, the other attacks targeted him. Bakura laughed, feeling the insane-ness of this tournament.
As the light cleared, Bakura lay there, unconscious. Jess ran up there to see if he was alright. "Is he ok?" Mink asked.
"Not sure, he's not breathing..." Jess said.
"Heh, why would a girl like you, a person haunted by this spirit, want to help him" Vice said.
"Because even we know when someone needs comfort, you're not the person to go around, attacking random people" Daniel snarled from afar. Vice smirked and disappeared into the elevator.
Bakura was brought down to the hospital, laying in the bed next to Allen. "They don't deserve this... When are they going to wake up..." Daniel said. He sat by the bed next to Allen while Jess sat next to the bed with Bakura in it.
"Yeah.... I don't know why I feel bad for him.... He tried to do anything to kill you, even me. But he still is apart of my father...." Jess said looking down at him. "Hey, aren't you scheduled to duel next?"
"Yeah... But I'm having second thoughts... It's Kai... I made a new friend, I can't end a friendship like this..." Daniel said. "This tournament is hard core..."
"Hey, what was that you've been saying? Don't give in no matter what?" Jess said, giving him a slight punch on the shoulder.
"Yeah... You're right." Daniel said.
"Go on ahead, I'll watch over these guys" Jess said.
"No, you're his friend, I'll go watch after them" Devon said, outside of the door.
"Thanks, Dev." Jess said standing up.
The two left the room, Devon stayed to watch incase something had happen.
Jess and Daniel arrived at the lobby where the final duel would soon start. "We already have 3 Duelist Eliminated and 3 heading to the finals. The last duel of the Semi-Finals will begin as soon as both duelist appear on the field. Kai VS Daniel!"
Kai and Daniel looked at each other. In their minds, they were saying not to give in no matter what. Although Daniel had never seen any cards in his deck, he was sure that Kai would be a good duelist, with both high spirits within each other, it'd be too tough to think who'd win this one.
