Chapter 122: The Final Battle! Beginning of The Orichalcos Deck, Part 1

________________________________

"I will take the first move." Daisuke smiled as the Orichalcos Seal burned on his forehead and red gleams appeared in his eyes. "Now I summon a monster in defense mode and set 2 cards face down. My turn ends!"

Daniel drew his next card and is shocked to see his very first draw was Android Psycho Shocker. "Now! I summon Gazelle! (1500/1200) In defense mode. I'll then set a card face down and end my turn."

Paul drew his next card. "One card, in defense mode. My turn ends." Paul announced. Both knew they could now depend on each other if they needed help.

"Let the fun begin." Daisuke smiled, drawing his next card. "Now, I sacrifice my face down card to summon this, Orichalcos Xillian! (1500/1300 +500) Now! Attack and destroy Gazelle!"

The serpent blasted a green fire ball at the beast, destroying it. "Now! Activate trap card, Michizure!" Daniel announced.

Daisuke already knew the effect of the trap card and his monster is destroyed easily but he doesn't grieve over it. Daniel ends his turn to Paul. Paul draws his next card. "Now! I sacrifice my face down monster, Mini Blue Eyes to summon Emerald Dragon! (2400/1400)" Paul yelled as the dragon formed onto the field. "And because Mini Blue Eyes was sent to the graveyard, I can Special Summon Blue Eyes White Dragon to the field! (3000/2500)"

Daisuke smiles "Chose your fate" He thinks.

"Now! Blue Eyes White Dragon attack his life points directly!" Paul yelled.

"Activate magic card!" Daisuke announces, pointing his hand at his face down card. "Marble of Orichalcos!"

"What?!" Paul says in shock.

"This will create the exact duplicate of your Blue Eyes White Dragon so now! I bring forth Orichalcos Copier! (3000/2500 +500)" Daisuke yells as the dragon appears but it was made of pure marble.

"No..." Paul growled, feeling that Daniel will lose easily now. Paul ends his turn.

Daisuke draws his next card. "Now... I summon Orichalcos Mantras (200/200 +500)" Daisuke announced. Suddenly a man wielding a staff appeared. "Now! Attack both of their life points directly!"

The man slashed his staff across the field and white lightning struck the two duelist. Daniel and Paul let out a wail as both their life points reduce to 3300.

"How can it...." Daniel growled.

"Orichalcos Mantras can attack twice and directly during a turn." Daisuke smiled. "But now your done for! Orichalcos Copier attack Daniel's life points directly!"

The duplicate of Blue Eyes White Dragon launched a white lightning blast at Daniel. "Activate trap card!" Daniel announced. "Battle Shield! This stops your attack and destroys your Orichalcos Copier!"

Daisuke growls as his attack stopped and turned around, destroying his Orichalcos Copier. "Damn you... I'll set one card face down and end my turn."

"Now! I activate Cost Down!" Daniel announced as his magic card flipped up. "This reduces all monsters in my hand by 2 levels so now! I summon Android Psycho Shocker! (2400/1500) This will stop you from using any trap cards!"

"Heh, Isn't that Mink's favorite card..." Daisuke taunts.

Daniel ignored him. "Now! Android Psycho Shocker, attack and destroy his Orichalcos Mantras!" Daniel called out. Suddenly Daisuke smiled. The android blasted a black sphere at the man but then he hit the sphere away with his staff.

"It didn't work!" Paul said.

"Darn it..." Daniel growled.

"Orichalcos Mantras cannot be destroyed by a monster over 2000 attack points." Daisuke laughed. "I will slowly and painfully destroy you all"

"Yeah right." Paul growled, drawing his next card. Paul's mind went on a spark. "Now! Activate magic card, Shrink!"

Daisuke gasped as Paul activated his magic card. "Alright...." Daniel said in his mind.

"I'll use Shrink to reduce Emerald Dragon's attack power by half! (1200/1400) Now! Attack and destroy his Orichalcos Mantras!"

The dragon unleashed a green fire ball at the man, destroying it. Daisuke growled. "Activate magic card, Prayer Blessings!" Daisuke announced as his magic card flipped up. "This will send negate my battle damage."

"Damn...." Paul growled. "My turn ends..."

Daisuke drew his next card. "Now! I activate Orichalcos Bless!" Daisuke announced. "This allows me to discard the hand I have now and draw 6 new cards."

"By why would it be an Orichalcos card if it only does that." Daniel said sternly.

"Ahh yes, each Orichalcos card has their own twist. Orichalcos Bless allows me to draw starting from the bottom of my deck." Daisuke smiled evilly. Daisuke took his deck out of the holster and took six cards from the bottom of his deck and formed a new hand. "Now! I place 3 cards face down and summon this, Orichalcos Gorgon (500/3300 +500)"

Paul and Daniel both growled. "That's a level 10 monster tho..." Paul spoke out.

"I know. The Orichalcos Seal reduces it's level by 7." Daisuke laughed. "My turn ends."

Daniel drew his next card. "His Orichalcos Gorgon is too strong...." Daniel said to himself. And besides no one could use trap cards because of Android Psycho Shocker. "I end my turn."

Paul drew his next card. "Maybe I can do something for once." Paul said, looking at his card. "Now! I summon Kaizer Seahorse! Then I equip this to Kaizer Seahorse, Dragon Oath! This magic card equips to Kaizer Seahorse, giving it 600 attack points (2300/1650) for each Dragon on the field. plus, giving my dragons a boost of 700 attack points, increasing Emerald Dragon's attack power! (3100/1400)"

"Your monsters are much to weak. Now! Activate magic card, Return of Beast Demon!" Daisuke announced. "This allows me to summon a monster from my hand since you have 2 more monsters than I do."

"No..." Daniel thought, having a bad feeling about this.

"Now! I summon Jurogenku! (2900/800 +500)" Daisuke announced, slapping the monster card onto the field. Suddenly a giant demon rose up from the ground and roaring.

Paul growled and looked at his hand. "Now! Activate magic card, Raise Dead!" He yelled. "And I bring back Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500 +700)"

"Thanks a lot." Daisuke smiled. "Jurogenku's attack points for each summon you guys do (3900/800)"

"Darn it..." Paul said, feeling he's doing everything wrong.

"Don't worry Paul." Daniel yelled out. "Now! Activate magic card, Destiny Dice!"

"What?!" Daisuke said in shock.

"This magic card let's me roll dice for each Special Summoned monster on the field. If I'm lucky enough, Blue Eyes White Dragon will become stronger than your Jurogenku!" Daniel yelled.

"Heh, we'll see" Daisuke smirked.

"Now! Dice Roll!" Daniel called out. Two dice flew out of the magic card, one for Jurogenku and one for Blue Eyes White Dragon.

The dice rolled on and Daniel remembered the duel against Devon. Devon was really dependable on dice and they'd never let him down.

Jurogenku's dice rolled to a 2, increasing it's attack points to 4100. Daisuke growled, knowing what was about to happen.

The dice for Blue Eyes White Dragon stopped on a 5. "Alright!" Daniel cheered, knowing Devon's method worked. Blue Eyes White Dragon's attack power rose to 4200.

"Now! Blue Eyes White Dragon attack and destroy Jurogenku!" Paul announced. The dragon unleashed a lightning blast at the demon who got ready to defend.

"His stupid android keeps me from using my trap cards." Daisuke growled. "But I have another way."

"Please let this attack work." Daniel thought.

"You won't get away with this just yet!" Daisuke yelled. "Now! I sacrifice 500 life points (DI: 3500) to direct the attack to my Orichalcos Gorgon!"

Suddenly the small demon's eyes began to glow green and the attack flew passed Jurogenku and around by Daisuke, striking the demon and destroying it.

"No!" Paul and Daniel both said.

Paul had no choice but to end his turn. Daisuke drew his next card. "Now! Jurogenku! (3900/800) Attack and destroy his Android Psycho Shocker!" Daisuke yelled, knowing the android was trouble for him if he couldn't use his trap cards.

The demon blasted black fire at the android, destroying it. "No.. Mink's monster, I'm sorry...." Daniel growled

"Activate magic card! Endurance!" Paul yelled. "This will cut his life point damage in half!"

Daniel looked at Paul, saying thanks to him in his mind. Daniel's life points reduced to 2700. Both Paul and Daniel were at a disadvantage because Daisuke managed to deplete most of their life points in several turns and they haven't even touched his.

Daisuke growled, ending his turn. Daniel drew his next card and smiled. "Now! You're going down!" Daniel yelled. "Activate magic card, Battle Sacrifice! By discarding cards that add up to the same level as Jurogenku, I can destroy it! I discard 3 monsters from my hand!"

Suddenly a white blast from the magic card shot at the demon, destroying it. Daisuke looked in horror, leaving him helpless and Paul had an army of monsters.

Daniel ended his turn and Paul knew what to do. "Now! Blue Eyes White Dragon (3700/2500), attack his life points directly!" Paul yelled.

"Activate trap card, Attack Recount!" Daisuke yelled. "This causes only one monster to attack for your turn."

"Atleast I'm kicking your ass with it!" Paul yelled as the dragon blasted a lightning blast at Daisuke.

"But not now." Daisuke smirked. "Activate trap card, Orichalcos Healer! This negates your attack and increases my life points double by your monster's attack points!"

"No! Now it'll be impossible to beat him." Daniel growled.

"Heh it already has been impossible!" Daisuke yelled as his life points rose to 10900. "The only thing you can possibly do is keep fighting or lose and let me destroy the world."

Daniel and Paul growled with anger. "You won't get away with this." Daniel growled with anger.
