Chapter 143: Rise of The Spirits, Part 2
______________________________
The score stood at Takura: 3800 and Daniel: 3100.
Takura drew his next card and smiled. "Now! I'll activate this, Incense!" Takura announced. "This magic card keeps you from using magic cards until you lose more than 500 life points"
"Err.." Daniel growled as a burning stick materialized onto the field with smoke coming out from the very tip.
"Now! Rei-Taurus! (200/400) Attack his life points directly!" Takura announced. The bull charged again at Daniel.
Daniel shielded himself from the he bull's horn and was pushed back, his life points reduced to 2900.
"How am I going to beat him...." Daniel thought.
"I'll draw because of Rei-Taurus' effect" Takura announced, drawing his bonus card. He smiled. "I'll set a card and end my turn!"
Daniel drew his next card. "His deck is too strong. How am I going to beat him..." Daniel said.
"Wow, he's in a real tight spot." Mink said in amazement.
"How do you think Dan can destroy his monsters?" Jess asked Devon.
"Only way I think is if he combines his X Y Z Monsters." Devon said. "Other wise he's doomed."
"Now! I'll set a card face down and summon a monster, face down defense!" Daniel announced.
Takura drew his next card. "Now! Activate trap card....." Takura smiled.
Daniel felt a chill down his back. "Crap it's going to counter my move..." Daniel growled.
"Drum Solo!" Takura announced as an Indian drum appeared and floated on top of Daniel's face down defense monster. An Indian then appeared and started patting the drum with each hand.
"I'll set two cards face down, and end my turn " Daniel said in regret.
"Draw!" Takura announced, drawing his next card. "Now! Rei-Taurus, attack his life points directly!"
Suddenly Daniel smiled. "Now! Activate trap card, Sakuretsu Armor!" Daniel announced.
"Ack! What does that do?!" Takura said.
"It stops your Rei-Taurus from attacking and destroys it!" Daniel yelled as the bull charged through a thick cloud, coming out with armor on it. It then burst right before it could hit Daniel.
Takura growled. "My turn ends!" He announced.
Daniel drew his next card. "Now! I'll activate my trap Dust Tornado! Which to destroy your Incense!" Daniel announced. Suddenly the burning stick disappeared. "Now! Buster Blader, attack and destroy Spirit Wolf!"
"But they both have the same attack power, they'll just destroy themselves." Jess said in confusion.
The two monsters clashed at each other, creating a big explosion, destroying themselves. "Now I move onto my Main Phase 2! Since I can't use my face down monster because of your Drum Solo, I'll sacrifice it to summon this, Death Volstargaf! (2200/1700)" Daniel announced as the card and Indian disappeared and the demon formed onto the field.
"That's it! Daniel made sure that Takura wouldn't be able to harm him more. That face down card wasn't something worth using at all. It was only a diversion so he could summon another strong monster!" Devon said.
"Oooo, good move." Mink said, pleased.
"My turn ends!" Daniel called out.
Takura drew his next card. "Now! I'll summon this, Native Archer! (1900/1200) In defense mode!" He announced as the Indian appeared, holding a man made bow and arrow. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
Daniel drew his next card. "Now! I'll summon this, X Head Cannon! (1800/1500)" He announced as the machine materialized onto the field. "Now! Death Volstargaf! Attack and destroy his Native Archer!"
Takura smiled as the demon blasted a metallic blue stream at the native, destroying it. "By destroying my monster, you've unleashed... The Thunder Drum!" Takura announced as a drum appeared. The native archer was revived but it stood behind the drum and began to beat it.
"Who knows what that does. But I'll have to take my only chance...." Daniel said. "Now! X Head Cannon, attack his life points directly!"
The machine blasted a torpedo at Takura. "Reveres trap card!" Takura announced. "Call of The Haunted!"
"No!" Daniel said in horror as Native Archer returned to the field.
"You've already called the attack so now! Native Archer, counter attack!" Takura called out.
The archer blasted an arrow right through the torpedo and at Daniel's X Head Cannon, destroying it and leaving him with 2800 life points.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Daniel announced.
"Thunder Drum's effect causes me to draw 2 cards during my draw phase!" Takura said as he took out two cards. "Now! I'll play this, Flute of The Winds!"
Daniel smiled as Death Volstargaf's attack power rose to 2600 because of the two magic cards Takura has played but there was something secret in those magic cards Takura was playing.
Suddenly a flute appeared and an Indian grabbed hold of it and began playing along with the beating of the drum the other Indian was doing.
"Why is he using those cards..." Mink asked.
"They must be apart of Takura's strategy...." Devon suggested.
"Now I'll use Flute of The Wind's special effect!" Takura announced. "By sacrificing 500 life points (T: 3300) I can revive a Spirit Monster from my graveyard. So now I summon back Spirit Eagle (0/2600) to the field in defense mode! I'll then summon Native Water Guard, in defense mode (1200/1800). My turn ends!"
Daniel drew his next card. "Now! I'll summon Y Dragon Head (1500/1600) in defense mode!" Daniel announced. "Now! Death Volstargaf, attack and destroy his Native Water Guard!"
The demon unleashed another blue blast. "Activate trap card!" Takura announced. "Attack Nullification!"
Suddenly the blue blast was absorbed by a vortex. "My turn ends..." Daniel said unwillingly.
Takura drew his next two cards. "Now I play this, Water Harp!" Takura called out. "This magic card costs me one water type monster. This is why I saved my own Native Water Guard."
Daniel looked at Takura's victory smile, knowing it was the last magic card to be played. "No what...." Dan asked himself.
Takura's Native Water Guard didn't go away, instead a harp appeared infront of the Indian woman and she began playing it. "Now! I'll use Flute of The Wind's effect. Sacrificing another 500 life points (T: 2800) to revive Native Archer! (1900/1200)" Takura announced as the Indian returned to the field. "Now! I sacrifice both Spirit Eagle and Native Archer to summon this...."
Daniel watched as Takura held up a card from his hand. Daniel some how knew it'd be a tough one to beat because of Takura's magic cards he wasted time just to play.
"Erg! What is it?!" Allen said, nearly shoving his face into the TV.
"Native Chief, Skyros! (2900/1800)" Takura called out, placing the card onto the field.
Instantly the three magic cards changed their tunes to a new, more opening tune. The wind picked up, creating a large whirlpool of dust around them. Daniel covered his face as he saw the faint figure fly down from the sky.
A well built man in Indian clothing stood tall on the gravel, holding a long staff with a bull's skull on the top. He had long giant wings of a hawk and a fierce look into Daniel's eyes.
"Gah! That doesn't look good..." Jess said in shock.
"It's a honor to be playing this monster. It's what I brought Yore to his knees with." Takura smiled innocently. A flash back came to his mind, calling out for Native Chief Skyros. It put Yore into deep shock as it blasted a feather blast in a energy form of a hark, throwing him back.
Daniel stood there, a bit nervous but determined. "I'm sorry but this will be the first! I never back down at the sign of a strong monster!" Daniel called out.
Takura and Daniel both smiled victoriously, starring each other down.
