Chapter 114: Destined Duel! Daniel VS Paul, Part 1
___________________________________
Paul looked over Vice body and turned to his desk. He walked over to it and took out his Millennium Rod. "Vice is right! Because we own two of the most powerful Millennium Items we must duel!" Paul yelled, pointing the Millennium Rod at Daniel.
"Why... Just because Vice says so..." Allen yelled.
"Vice is right, Allen." Daniel said stepping up.
"Because I am now King of Games, I would love to tell the world but destiny joins us together. Meet me up on the roof where our duel will begin" Paul said, walking off out of the room and to the elevator.
The others walked into another elevator and headed up. "Wow... two greatest champions... Going at each other for the duel of the century..." Allen said.
"It was just like yesterday that you defeated Paul for the first time." Jess said, looking out the glass and too the city.
"We'll be at your side the whole time..." Devon said.
"That's one thing I can't be sure of..." Daniel said. "I want you guys to wait outside..."
"Why?!" Allen said in disbelief.
"I appreciate you guys greatly... But this is destiny and I can't let friends interfere." Daniel said looking down at the Millennium Puzzle. "Bakura... I thank you for this item."
"But..." Allen said but Devon stopped him.
"We have to respect Dan's decision." Devon whispered. Allen finally understood. They all stopped at the second to top floor and headed down to the entrance while Daniel went alone up to the roof.
Daniel stepped out into the cold air of the roof where Paul waited, his Duel Xero was ready. "Ready?" Paul yelled.
"Ready..." Daniel announced.
"Good!" Paul yelled.
"I wouldn't have made it all the way here if it weren't for my deck..." Daniel thought looking down at his deck. "And the Duel Disks. Plus... My friends."
"You know, Dan. I would have challenged you after I defeated Vice in the Deck Master Competition but life as you know it stood in the way. I would have done anything for you to accept my challenge but who knew it'd be too easy." Paul smirked. "Think about it, I've defeated your greatest opponent who you've never been able to defeat. What are the odds that you'll win..."
"Just...." Daniel mumbled. "Shut up!".
"Fine but we will play by Deck Master rules! This counts as the Deck Master Competition Final Battle! Winner takes opponent's deck master!" Paul yelled. "And I chose my Deck Master to be Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
The Blue Eyes White Dragon the suddenly materialized onto the field, next to Paul. "My deck master will be Death Volstargaf!" Daniel yelled as the demon materialized next to him.
"Duel!" They both yelled as their life points rose up to 4000.
Paul drew his set of cards and smiled. "Now! I summon Devil Franken (700/500), in defense mode!" Paul announced. "Then set two cards face down and end my turn!"
Daniel drew his next cards. "Now! I summon X Head Cannon! (1800/1500)" Daniel announced as the machine materialized onto the field. "Now, X Head Cannon, attack and destroy his Devil Franken!"
"Not so fast! I activate my magic card, Heart of Hades!" Paul yelled. "This allows me to discard cards from my hand to destroy a monster with the same level. So by discarding four cards, your X Head Cannon is destroyed!" Paul yelled. Daniel growled as his machine was destroyed instantly.
"I'll set 2 cards face down and end my turn!" Daniel announced.
Paul drew his next card and laughed. "Now you're over! Reverse magic card, Refuse Pay! Now I can activate Devil Franken's special ability to summon my ultimate monster!" Paul yelled.
"Not so fast!" Daniel yelled. "Reverse trap card, Imperial Order! This stops all magi cards from working!"
"God damn..." Paul growled, getting so close to winning.
"Fine. Now! I'll sacrifice Devil Franken to summon this monster, Emerald Dragon! (2400/1400)" Paul announced as the green dragon materialized onto the field. "Now! Direct attack!"
The dragon unleashed a green blast at Daniel. The attack was successful. Daniel let out a growl as he was dragged back by the force of the attack. His life points reduced to 1600.
"Now! Reverse trap card, Enrichment!" Daniel yelled. "This will increase my life points by the equal amount of Emerald Dragon's attack power! (D: 4000)"
Paul growled, ending his turn. "You don't stand a chance against the newest King of Games...." Paul growled.
"You may be the King of Games now, but you don't have what it takes to survive with this title... I don't duel to become most popular I duel because I atleast enjoy the game. It's people like you who take risks to get what they want." Daniel yelled.
"Go on with your damn move..." Paul hissed.
"Draw!" Daniel yelled, drawing his next card. "I will discard Imperial Order to my graveyard, then I'll activate this, Raise Dead!"
"No..." Paul growled, predicting what Daniel was about to do.
"I revive X Head Cannon! (1800/1500) Now I summon Z Metal Caterpillar! (1500/1600)" Daniel yelled as both machines materialized onto the field. "Now I sacrifice both of them to form XZ Caterpillar Cannon! (2400/2100)"
Paul growled, both monsters were evenly matched with their strength.
The rest of the group walked out and looked up at the top of the building. "I can't believe this is happening..." Allen sighed.
"It had to have happened anyway..." Jess said.
Suddenly a dark figure stepped out into the street light. "Who are you...." Mink said, with a bit of nervousness. The figure had a Duel Xero on his arm and an evil glare.
"Now! I discard a card from my hand to destroy your face down card!" Daniel yelled. He had placed a card from his hand into the graveyard, triggering XZ Caterpillar Cannon's effect.
The combined machines launched a missile, destroying Paul's face down card. Paul growled, shielding himself from the smoke flying at him. It appeared his face down card was Shrink.
"I'll set another card face down and end my turn!" Daniel announced.
Paul drew his next card and smiled. "You're through! Now activate magic card, Enemy Controller!" Paul yelled, placing the magic card onto the field. Suddenly a giant game controller appeared infront of him. "By sacrificing 1000 life points (P: 3000) I will bring your monster down!"
"No..." Daniel thought, fearing the worst.
"Now! Controller, Left, Right, A, B... Activate!" Paul yelled. The chord whipped onto the machine and was brought to Paul's side of the field. "Now! I sacrifice XZ Caterpillar Cannon and Emerald Dragon to summon this, Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)"
The dragon emerged as the hologram card flipped up. It flew over Paul and floated there, waiting for a command.
"I can't lose..." Daniel thought. "Not to Paul..."
"I'll then equip this magic card, Dragon Crystal to my Blue Eyes White Dragon, increasing it's attack power by 1000! (4000/2500)" Paul yelled, sliding the magic card onto the field. Instantly Blue Eyes White Dragon's body turned hard and started shinning in the moon. It's body had turned to crystal. "This is it! Your over! Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack his life points directly!"
Daniel stood there with a glare, feeling the power of the Blue Eyes charge up it's lightning blast, getting close to destroying all his life points.
