Chapter 71: Battle of The Guardians: Fate Rules, Part 4
__________________________________
The score stood at Daniel: 600 and Vice: 1300. Daniel managed to finally defeat Vice's Grandmaul, but in the process of destroying his own Guardian Zenkou. Dan was also able to take one of Vice's Guardians, Guardian Keitsu.
"Draw!" Vice announced, drawing his next card. "Now! I play this! Honor To The Tomb!"
"This doesn't sound good...." Allen thought, by this, he meant that it was giving him strange shivers. Daniel couldn't lose, he had to win.
As Vice played his card, a giant tomb lifted from the ground, standing straight up. "This will prepare for your demise! But first, I play Gerajuku in defense mode! (1200/2100)" He announced. "Then! I play a card face down and end my turn!"
"Gerajuku... Another type of Back-Up Guardian for him... Luckily I came prepared." Daniel smiled. "Now! I play Recruited Dead! Allowing me to revive a monster I had put out of play! Now I summon back Buster Blader! (2600/2100)"
"Hmmm..." Vice smiled.
"Now! I sacrifice Guardian Keitsu to summon this, Death Volstargaf! (2200/1700)" Daniel yelled as the mermaid vanished and the demon dragon materialized onto the field.
"Alright!" Kai said. Things were starting to look up. Daniel's favorite monster never let him down even if it was destroyed.
"Even if you know Gerajuku's effect, you won't attack... But my trap card will make you!" Vice yelled.
"What?!" Daniel said in shock.
"Now! Reverse trap card, Forced Boundary!" He yelled. "This automatically forces one of your monsters to attack! So go at em, Buster Blader!"
The Buster Blader charged up at the defense demon, slashing it. The demon smiled, then threw off Buster Blader.
"No!" Daniel said in the horror of what would be next.
"You know what this means..." Vice smiled as his deck holster slid out the card. He took it and looked at it, then added it to his hand.
Daniel looked nervous. He looked at his hand. "I'll place a card, face down and end my turn." Daniel announced.
Vice drew his next card. He felt his heart warm as the next card he drew. "Now! I activate Yield Tribute, to normal summon Gelbeck! (2600/1350 +1000)" He announced. "My turn ends!"
Because Gelbeck and Gerajuku were both on the field they each got more attack points. (Gerajuku: 2200/3100)
"He ended his turn... Without attacking." Jess said in confusion.
"It's that Tomb..." Allen pointed out. "Just look at Dan, he looks like he's about to fall apart because of it..."
"The Tomb... I feel it's source of power, from that one card in his hand..." Daniel said, seeing the essence of that card seep away and into the tomb.
Daniel drew his next card. "Now! I place Death Volstargaf and Buster Blader in defense mode..." Daniel announced, feeling the agony of such a weak move. He then ended his turn.
Vice drew his next card. His eyes remained close then shot open. "Now! It's time to for see that my destiny will be passed by this weak challenge!" He yelled. Daniel gasped, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"This challenge to you may have been important but it's only a side bump! My real target is him!"
Vice's arm shot up, pointing at Paul. "Paul? Why would he be after you..." Mink asked.
Paul's eyes glared back. "He'd soon crack, I foresaw" Paul said.
"Now! Fate has lead me to defeat you! Now I sacrifice Gelbeck and Gerajuku for this!" Vice yelled, throwing up the card.
Suddenly lightning flashed behind the card. "What?!" Daniel said in shock. "What is it?!"
The card flew down, directly on Vice's Duel Xero plate. "My ultimate Guardian, Cadablog! (2500/3500)" Vice yelled.
The night time felt like it was day time by the shining tomb, reacting to Cadablog's appearance. The tomb began to slowly open, revealing the angel of life and death. It's wings opened wide, greeting everyone. It held a long staff that seemed to reach into the sky. Blades then split out from the sides.
"You helped me, Paul, you helped me create such a monster! It is you who will be facing this monster! This is only but a vision of what should happen to you!" He yelled, then looking over to Daniel. "By the effects of Honor to The Tomb all your monsters will be destroyed!"
"No!" Daniel yelled, holding his head with his cards falling out of his hand.
"And 10 of your spirits will replenish me!" Vice yelled as ten glowing orbs released from Daniel's graveyard slot.
"Winged Beast Chimera! XYZ Dragon Cannon! X Head Cannon! Z Metal Caterpillar! Y Dragon Head!" Vice yelled as he called out their names, their form appeared. "Orpheus! Buster Blader! Guardian Zenkou! Death Volsgulf! And..."
"No..." Daniel said in shock as the one last spirit start to form.
"Death Volstargaf!" Vice yelled. "Each will increase my life points!"
"No! You can't go... None of you..." Daniel sighed, falling to his knees.
All the spirits gathered around Vice, spinning around him. Vice's life points increased to 18100. "No... Dan... he can't lose!" Mink cried out.
"Because of this, you will not defeat me! Honor To The Tomb increase Cadablog's attack by 500! (3000/3500)" Vice yelled. "Your trap card will not effect me!"
Cadablog rose it's staff, then sent it flying, destroying his face down card. Daniel couldn't help but think he was outmatched, fate had Vice and himself separated. It was like he was never meant to defeat him.
"The second time... and he didn't make it..." Paul said, also a bit shocked by the outcome.
"Now! Cadablog attack!" Vice yelled, pointing his hand at Daniel.
Cadablog held it's staff in both hands. A giant ball of wind started to form at the very tip. Her eyes were glowing yellow. It then rose it's staff, then sent it flying down at Daniel. Daniel was trapped in the ball of wind, feeling it's pain.
Daniel let out a loss of battle scream, going on into the city. Daniel fell to his knees, holding his head as the attack felt like it was ripping him apart. He couldn't take it.
"Stop it! Are you crazy! Stop it!" Allen yelled at Paul. He ignored him.
The attack felt like it was going on for hours but after a few more seconds, the attack disappeared. The judge was shocked, Daniel was left, laying face down on the ground. His shirt had been torn a lot and his hair messed up by the wind.
"Vice is the winner!" The judge announced, raising his hand on his side. Everyone left the room and got up onto the field.
"Your friend, was a good duelist. He lost because he predicted wrong. I'm not his enemy. You all must seek the new evil, while my own destiny travels along. You are my next opponent, Paul! I will make sure we will battle out on this very field!" Vice yelled, turning to Paul. Paul lifted his head up at him.
"We'll see...." Paul smirked.
"Daniel, wake up!" Jess said, shaking him. "Wake up!"
Jess began screaming for him to wake up but he didn't. "You... can't....... Not here..." Allen mumbled, terrified of what had just happened.
