Chapter 63: Machines Unite! Part 1
________________________________
"Duel!" They both yelled as they got ready.
"And I will start this duel!" Big 4 announced, drawing his next card. "And I summon Leafy Hopper in defense mode! (1200/1000) I'll also set a card face down and end my turn!"
Mink drew her next card. "Now! I summon Preya Metal Wing (2300/0)" She announced. "Now! Preya Metal Wing attack his Leafy Hopper!"
The metal bird dove down, doing some kind of wing attack at the grasshopper, destroying it. "What a good little girl..." Big 4 smiled.
"What are you talking about! My monster's effect still does damage even if your monster is in defense mode!" Mink yelled as Big 4's life points reduced to 2700.
"I know that, but when you destroyed my Leafy Hopper, you've allowed me to summon this!" Big 4 announced, holding up a card in his hand. "Now I summon Carnivorous Mantis! (2400/2400)"
Suddenly Big 4's monster card flipped up and the giant preying mantis emerged from the card. "What the?!" Mink said in shock.
"And then I'll activate my face down card, Solemn Wishes which will increase my life points by 500 each time I draw cards!" Big 4 announced.
Mink growled. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn." She announced.
"Good! Now I'll draw!" Big 4 announced, taking his next card. Suddenly sparkling rain came down on him, giving him 500 life points (B4: 3200). "I'll set a card face down. Since your one and only monster is in attack mode, my Carnivorous Mantis can attack your life points directly! Now! Attack!"
The mantis rose it's giant claw and struck Mink across her chest. Mink screamed, falling to the ground. "Agh..." She said.
"And now! I'll activate my deck master's special effect!" Big 4 announced as his arms started to glow red. "I can half my attack points and attack you directly! (1050/1400)"
Big 4, in his Razzia form ran straight at Mink, slashing her with the two blades along the bottom of his arms. Mink screamed again, falling back down, her life points decreasing to 550.
"This duel is too easy! You'll be over before you know it!" Big 4 laughed.
"No! Mink get up!" Jess yelled.
Mink got up. "I won't give up..." She growled.
"Whatever, my turn ends here" Big 4 said.
Mink drew her next card and smiled. "Now! I activate this magic card, Cost Down! By discarding a card from my hand, I can decrease my my monsters levels by two, in my hand!" She yelled. "Now I summon this, Android Psycho Shocker! (2400/1500)"
"Now! Reverse trap card! Magic Rejoice!" Big 4 announced. "This card will gain me 200 life points for every magic card you play! (B4: 3400)"
"I won't win if he keeps increasing his life points..." Mink thought. "But then again my Android Psycho Shocker stops his Solemn Wishes"
"Hurry up! I don't have all day for you to say your last words!" Big 4 yelled.
"Whatever!" Mink yelled. "Now! Android Psycho Shocker! Attack and destroy Carnivorous Mantis!"
The android sent a black sphere at the mantis. The mantis swiped it's claw at the android and they both were destroyed. "What are you thinking?!" Big 4 said in confusion.
"Now! I play this magic card, Monster Reborn! To bring back Android Psycho Shocker! (2400/1500)" Mink announced.
Big 4 growled, knowing both his trap cards would have worked if she didn't have a stupid Android Psycho Shocker on the field.
Meanwhile in the real world.... Devon's pod had opened. "Free at last!" His dark voice said, stretching and walking out.
"Sir, please rejoin the others down in the lobby" The judge said.
"Shut up, suit" Devon growled, pushing him away from the controls.
"What are you doing?!" The judge said, falling to the ground.
"Making sure no one comes back!" Devon said. Devon rose his fist and aimed for the main controls. Suddenly he felt himself lift up into the air. "What the?!"
"What do you think your doing. These are your friends..." A voice said. Devon looked up to see Vice.
"Let me go!" Devon yelled, trying to struggle out of his grasp.
"Fine..." Vice said tossing him to the side of the Dome with the exit. "Get out of here!"
"Very well... But once I get back, you'll be in for the ride of your life because I don't let anyone go easy!" Devon growled, his dark evil face showing. He then ran off.
As Devon passed the hospital room, Bakura's eyes opened. "Good... That runt is finally gone..." He thought, getting up. He pulled off all the metal sticker things off of his chest and threw off the blanket.
As Bakura headed to the door, a laughter stopped him. Bakura swiftly turned around to see Darien sitting on the bed he was sleeping on. "Go ahead and leave... You're not wanted here, not by me." Darien growled.
"Of course, why else would I be staying..." Bakura growled, walking off.
"Heh, it's not like you'd even make it farther..." Darien smirked.
"What's that suppose to mean! Are you questioning my dueling skills?!" Bakura growled.
"Hello! The brother of the High Preist Set, I'm his brother... All you are is a thief...." Darien laughed.
Bakura and Darien both stared each other down.
As Devon made it to the street he looked around and found a card shop. He dove in, grabbing a whole bunch of rare cards and boosters on site. Before he left, he made sure he had grabbed a Duel Xero and made his quick get away.
"Well it's time to get going!" Big 4 announced.
"Fine I end my turn!" Mink yelled.
Big 4 drew his next card. "Now! I summon a monster in defense mode and end my turn." Big 4 announced.
Mink drew her next card. "Now! I summon Mecha Xarian onto the field! (2200/1200)" She announced. "Now Mecha Xarian, attack his defense monster!"
The metal warrior dove up and slashed the defense monster with it's long sharp blades on it's arms. The card flipped up, to reveal some sort of insect abomination with a large red eye. "You've destroyed my Insect Jar!" Big 4 announced. "This monster allows me to take control of one monster on your side of the field!"
Suddenly the Insect Jar spit a seed at Android Psycho Shocker. The seed grew and vines wrapped around it's body and the android floated to Big 4's side of the field.
Mink growled. "Because of my Mecha Xarian, it's attack is cut in half and it's defense is turned to 0, then it goes into defense mode (1100/0)" She said, ending her turn.
Big 4 drew his next card. "Now! I sacrifice your Android Psycho Shocker to summon this, Red Core Centipede!" He announced. "meet your demise because this monster is unstoppable!"
"What?!" Mink said in shock as Big 4's monster card flipped up and the centipede started crawling out of the hologram.
It was a horrible centipede that stalked around the two duelist. "Ew!" Jess said jumping away from the marching insect.
"Now! my Red Core Centipede! Attack her Mecha Xarian!" Big 4 announced. The centipede reacted and jumped onto the robotic warrior, crushing it. Big 4 laughed. "And with no monsters on the field I can attack your life points directly and end you once and for all!"
"No!" Daniel yelled.
He came at her with his glowing red arms, ready to strike her. Suddenly a small Kuriboh popped up infront of him. "What's this?!" Big 4 said as the Kuriboh blocked him.
Mink smirked. "I've used my Kuriboh's special effect. I can negate your battle damage!" Mink yelled as the Kuriboh disappeared.
Big 4 growled, ending his turn.
Mink too a big sigh. She needed a good card now. Nothing else would save her now. She placed her hand on her deck and pulled the card.
She glanced at the card and smiled. "Now! It's time!" She yelled.
