Chapter 53: Fierce Battle: Wrath of The Black Paladin, Part 3

_____________________________

The score was Daniel: 900 and Kai: 1400. Kai just summoned his Black Paladin a couple turns early. One of his greatest monsters, fighting with Daniel.

"Draw!" Daniel yelled, drawing his next card. "Now! I summon Y Dragon Head, then sacrifice Y Dragon Head and XZ Caterpillar Cannon to summon XYZ Dragon Cannon! (2800/2600)"

"Heh, so finally we have a fight" Kai said, sighing with relief.

"Yes, but you won't last very long!" Daniel yelled. "Now! Activate Magic Card, Rush Recklessly which will increase XYZ Dragon Cannon by 700! (3500/2600) Now! XYZ Dragon Cannon attack and destroy his Black Paladin!"

The machine aimed all it's cannons at the magician warrior then fired.

"Reverse trap card, Mirror Force!" Kai yelled.

"I don't think so!" Daniel yelled. "Now! Reverse trap card, Trap Jammer!"

"Heh, I think not. Now I activate Black Paladin's special effect! By discarding a card from my hand, I can negate and destroy your Trap Jammer!"

"Just what I expected, Reverse trap card! Driving Snow!" Daniel yelled as his Trap Jammer exploded.

"What?!" Kai said in shock.

It was a battle of trap cards, just to keep going. "By activating Black Paladin's effect and destroying my magic card, I can activate this and destroy one of your magic or trap cards, eliminating the effect! So now your Black Paladin is going down!"

The missiles fired at the Black Paladin, destroying it and reducing Kai's life points to 1000. Kai growled as he was rid of all his monsters but his Death Gremlin, in defense mode.

Daniel then ended his turn and Kai drew his next card. "Now! I summon Black Vorse Raider! (1900/600)" He announced. "Then, I place this..."

Daniel looked at Kai's face. He had that winning grin on his face. "What is it?!" Daniel thought.

"Now! I play Level Revival which allows me to discard two monsters in my hand or field to the total level 8 to return a monster from my graveyard, to the field!" Kai yelled. "Now I sacrifice Black Vorse Raider and Death Gremlin (Each at Level 4) to summon back Black Paladin! (2900/2400 +500)"

Daniel took a step back as the monster formed on the field. "No... It's back..." Daniel said, sternly.

"Yes! Now Black Paladin! Destroy his XYZ Dragon Cannon now!" Kai yelled. The magician warrior sent a black sphere at the machine and then struck it with it's staff, destroying it and reducing Daniel's life points to 600.

Suddenly Daniel smiled. "Heh, I got you now!" He yelled.

"What?!" Kai said in confusion.

"Reverse trap card!" Daniel yelled. His trap card began to slowly lift up.

"Alright! Looks like something good!" Jess cheered.

The trap card flipped all the way up and Kai looked in shock. "I activate Star Face Corruption!" Daniel yelled. "This will destroy your Black Paladin!"

Suddenly the trap card unleashed a giant golden star with a face. The eyes opened and the Black Paladin exploded. The star then turned around, facing Daniel then formed into the Black Paladin.

"And it revives Black Paladin on my side of the field! (2900/2400 +500)" Daniel announced.

"No... I can't let him have my prized monster..." Kai thought. "I summon Big Shield Guardna in defense mode! (100/2600) I'll also set a card face down and end my turn."

Daniel drew his next card. With Black Paladin on his side of the field, he'd be getting the advantage here. "Now! Black Paladin! Attack and destroy his Big Shield Guardna!" Daniel yelled. The magician did the same type of attack at the defense monster, destroying it.

Daniel then ended his turn to Kai. Kai drew his next card. "I place a card face down and summon Chaos Greed in defense mode! (1000/400)" He announced. "Then I end my turn!"

Daniel drew his next card. "Now! I summon Armor Exe in attack mode! (2400/1400)" Daniel announced. "Then I play Magic Counter Plus which puts a magic counter on my Armor Exe. Now! Black Paladin! Attack his Chaos Greed!"

"Right into my trap!" Kai yelled. "Reverse trap card, Trap Robber!"

"Trap Robber?" Daniel said in confusion.

"This allows me to steal a trap card from your graveyard and use it, and I think I'll take your Star Face Corruption and use it against you!" Kai yelled.

"No!" Daniel yelled as Black Paladin destroyed his Chaos Greed. Suddenly a giant star appeared and it's eyes opened, destroying Black Paladin (2900/2400 +500) and summoning it back onto Kai's side of the field.

Daniel felt worried. Kai had gotten back his Black Paladin now, any could happen and he had his Armor Exe, a weaker monster.

Daniel looked up at his Death Volstargaf. "What do you do?" He asked. The demon looked down at him, narrowing it's eyes.

Daniel looked back at the field. "I'll just have to keep fighting..." Daniel said to himself. "Now! I set a card face down and end my turn!"

Kai drew his next card. "Well, it's my Standby Phase, go ahead and use your monster's effect" Kai told.

"Very well, I sacrifice my Magic Counter for Armor Exe to keep it on the field!" Daniel announced. Suddenly his Armor Exe stopped glowing.

"Now! Black Paladin! Attack!" Kai yelled. Daniel stood his ground, ready for the attack. Everyone held their breath, eager to know what Daniel had up his sleeve.
