Chapter 98: Double Duel of Souls, Part 1
________________________________
Daniel finally stopped for breath, knowing Allen was long gone as the biker took him away. He growled with anger as he kept going but a figure stopped infront of him.
"I don't have time for this, get out of my way!" Daniel shouted passing the robed figure. The person let him pass but suddenly he stopped, noticing the face. "Lain!"
Mink and Jess stopped, searching the area. "They should be around here!" Jess said.
"Maybe if we split up, this gang can't get to us too easily." Mink said. "Besides one of us has to run into Daniel and Allen!"
"I'm on your word, I'll take this corner!" Jess said running off. Mink waved and took her own direction. Mink kept watch knowing this seemed like a bad idea in the first place. She finally stopped to take a rest.
Suddenly she ran smack into someone. The last thing she saw was black fabric. Mink backed up, seeing Yoko. "Yoko!" Mink said in shock.
"Yeah it's me so what..." Lain smirked.
"What are you doing here and why are you wearing those clothes...." Daniel said in suspicion.
"Don't you have a clue Mr. Game King. I've joined a group which can defeat you! All I have to do is use this magic card!" Lain laughed as she held up the Orichalcos Seal. "Now! You will duel me, I activate Orichalcos Seal!"
Daniel felt his heart skip a beat as he heard the slide of the card slip into her Duel Xero Field Card zone. Suddenly the Orichalcos Seal began lowering from the sky onto the side walk they stood upon.
"You don't know what your doing. This team doesn't care for anyone but...." Daniel said but Lain interrupted.
"Shut up and duel me! I've been waiting for this Duel for a long time! it's time to repay what you and your stupid friends did to me way back!" Lain screamed.
"I have a score to settle with you! Yoko!" Mink yelled.
"I know" Yoko smiled.
"You cheated your way to thinking you may have gotten to our heads but now it's time to get out of your shell and duel!" Mink yelled as she revealed her Duel Xero and turned it on, folding the plates apart.
"Very well!" Yoko yelled as she did the same. "But first I'd like to add this first. Now! I play Orichalcos Seal!"
"No!" Mink growled. "I knew as much."
"Good because you're not winning this duel!" Yoko yelled as she drew her first round of cards. "I set a card face down and summon this, Gratifying Bounder! (300/2300 +500) In defense mode! My turn ends!"
Mink watched as the little fuzzy creature began to glow. It's eyes turned dark red and the seal appeared over it's two eyes on it's forehead as well as Yoko's forehead, being taken over by the Orichalcos Seal.
Mink drew her next card. "Now! I special summon Gila Borgman! (1400/600)" Mink announced as the robotic warrior materialized onto the field. "But that's not all, I also special summon another Gila Borgman in defense mode! (1400/600)"
"What?! How can you do that!" Yoko yelled.
"it's because Gila Borgman's effect allows me to normal or special summon it, for the price of my own Battle Phase which I cannot perform on the first turn. But I don't care, my turn ends!" Mink yelled.
Yoko drew her next card. Suddenly she smiled. "Now! I sacrifice Gratifying Bounder to summon this, Zaeo! (2200/1200 +500)" Yoko yelled as the warrior materialized onto the field. "It allows me to place a card into my hand. But I'll activate it!"
Mink watched Yoko take the card that slid out of her Deck Holster and add it to her hand. "What could it be..." She thought.
"Now! I activate this, Battle Armor Z!" Yoko yelled as her magic card flipped up. "This increases only Zaeo's attack by 500! (3200/1200)"
Mink gasped. "She's already got a 3000 attack powered monster on the field..." Mink growled.
"Now! Zaeo attack and destroy her Gila Borgman!" Yoko yelled. The warrior punched through the borgman, destroying it in Mink's face.
"Now! Activate trap card!" Mink announced. "Recycled Data!"
"What!" Yoko said.
"This allows me to sacrifice my Gila Borgman from my field!" Mink yelled. "But I also have to remove Gila Borgman from my graveyard which you destroyed. But I can summon this from my deck, now! Summon Breaker Borgman! (2500/3400 +300) It gains 300 attack power for every Borgman monster in my graveyard!"
Yoko smirked. "That thing is weaker than my Zaeo, you can;t defeat it! My turn ends!" Yoko announced, waiting to be amazed by Mink's deck.
"Now! I'll start this turn!" Lain announced drawing her set of cards. "And I summon this, Poison Caterpillar, in attack mode! (700/1200 +500)"
"That's right, she has a bug type deck." Daniel remembered as Lain smiled.
"Poison Caterpillar allows me to summon another Poison Caterpillar from my hand to the field! (700/1200)" Lain yelled as another same caterpillar appeared on the field.
Daniel wasn't too excited about insect type monsters when he first played Duel Monsters but from the duel with Lain, he learned that they could be very powerful. "Ok..." He said to himself.
"I set a card face down and end my turn!" Lain announced.
Daniel drew his next card. "Now! I summon Ryuu Warrior! (1600/1300)" He announced. "I'll then set a two cards face down. Now! Ryuu Warrior attack and destroy her Poison Caterpillar!"
"Right into my trap!" Lain smiled. "Activate trap card, Parasite Pod!"
"Parasite Pod?" Daniel said in shock as the dragon warrior got closer to Lain's Poison Caterpillar.
"This stops your attack from succeeding and inflicts half of Ryuu Warrior's attack points to your Life Points!" Lain laughed, pointing at him as Ryuu Warrior slashed the giant pod, sending small pores at Daniel.
Daniel growled as the spores infected his body, reducing his life points to 3200. Daniel growled, ending his turn.
Lain drew her next card and smiled. "Now! it's time for your ends because I summon my final Poison Caterpillar! (700/1200)" Lain announced. "Now I have all three of my Poison Caterpillars (1200+1200+1200=3600) which can now end you! Man is this too easy. Now! Poison Caterpillars attack his life points directly!"
"Shoot, they can easily pass my Ryuu Warrior." Daniel growled as they came at him. "Now! Activate trap card, Earthshaker!"
"Him this simple trap card, it doesn't give me much of a choice but chose the other." Lain laughed.
"Now chose, Insect or Warrior." Daniel said sternly.
"Hello! I'm not that stupid Warrior of course!" Lain laughed.
"Very well!" Daniel yelled as his Ryuu Warrior dissolved from the field. The caterpillars still were coming at him. "Now! Activate trap card, External Suppression!"
"What does that do!" Lain said in shock.
"External Suppression destroys all monsters on the field if they are only the same attribute and inflicts damage to your life points by half of each monster's attack points. My Earthshaker trap card was only a stall point, so now there are only insect type monsters and they are your own monsters!" Daniel yelled, pointing at Lain.
"No!" Lain said, shocked by his turn of events. Each caterpillar was destroyed and Lain's life points reduced to 2200. Lain growled as her monsters were easily destroyed. "Now! I activate this magic card, Parasite Saviour, allowing me to place one special monster card into face down defense position from my hand. My turn ends!"
