Chapter 148: Divine Duel: Kai VS Daniel, Part 1
___________________________________
"Well... I made it pretty far..." Allen admitted. "But err.. Would I ever like to beat his face in."
"Just forget about it. It's just a game." Kai said.
"I know! But Jin has something and if no one can beat him, what'll happen next?!" Allen said.
Suddenly Mink and Jess appeared along with Devon whose arm was still hurt and in a cast.
"Hey! We saw the duel!" Jess said.
"yeah it's too bad that Allen lost." Mink said.
"Ahhh don't sweat it." Allen blushed.
"Your arm ok?" Daniel asked Devon.
"Just a minor burn here and there, I'll live." Devon smiled.
"You do know Kai and Dan are to duel next, right?" Jess asked.
"Haven't forgotten ^^." Kai smiled.
"Yeah, it'll be a rematch to remember." Daniel said.
"Hey you!" Yoko screamed infront of Jin.
Jin looked up to see Yoko and Lain behind her, cowering. "You two again? Haven't you had enough humiliation in one day?" Jin said in annoyance.
"We both want a rematch!" Yoko said.
"We?! Count me out!" Lain said, backing away.
"You two would really like a stronger deck huh?" Jin smiled, intrigued a bit.
"Not me, I have my own!" Yoko smirked.
"Was it enough to hold it against your enemies?" Jin asked. "Including me?"
Yoko stared at him for a second. "YES! I want a new deck! I try and try to keep it up but it keeps failing!" Yoko said in anger, confessing to something she held deep inside her mind. Yoko took her deck out and threw it all on the ground.
"Come on Yoko. This guy is bad news, let's go before anyone sees us!" Lain said, pulling on her arm.
"I'll make you a good deal. I'll provide you with new, interesting decks." Jin smiled.
"What's the catch?" Yoko asked.
"You listen to everyone of my words and join forces with me." Jin smiled, shutting his lap top.
"Do we get to know about any super secret plans?!" Lain asked, stopping her cowering.
"No." Jin said. "But you do get revenge of those you hate most."
Yoko smiled evilly. "Ok, Mr. Hoi. I accept." She said shaking his hand.
"Me too!" Lain said, shaking Jin's other hand.
"Good...." Jin smiled.
The group got back to the private room. It was only them now. It'd been so far into the competition. "I'm not sure if I can drive back in this condition." Devon said, looking at his arm.
"We'll find a ride some where. If not, I'll force Crawford too ^^" Jess said innocently.
"Hey look." Daniel pointed out as a truck drove through the entrance.
"It has The P.K Emblem. Wonder what Paul has sent." Allen said, scratching his head.
Two workmen opened the back of the truck, taking out a giant crate that was atleast 5 times bigger than them.
"What does those words say..." Mink said, squinting her eyes.
Devon came up with a pair of binoculars her picked up from the table so people could see the arena. "try these" he said.
Daniel took the binoculars. "They have the words D, O, and C written on them." Daniel said, giving the binoculars to Mink.
"Could be some new dueling thingy that Paul came up with." Mink said.
"We should check it out after the tournament." Kai said.
Suddenly Pegasus walked up onto the stage. "We've come this far! Now it's the final duel of the Semi-Finals, Daniel VS Kai! Who will win? Who will lose? Let's leave it to these two guys! Your destination is the Toon World Fun House!" Pegasus announced into the microphone.
"Toon World Fun House?" Daniel said.
"Well this should be interesting." Kai said.
"We'll stay here and watch. It'd be too much for us up close." Mink said, sitting back on the couch.
"Alright". Daniel said, waving bye.
The two left and walked up to the giant toon world book which was open and had the entire toon world fantasy in it.
The two duelist entered, following arrows which lead them into the heart of Toon World. "Feels like everything has just came to life in Crawford's mind." Daniel said, looking at all the animatronic duel monsters in their toon form.
"Yeah...." Kai said looking all around.
They entered to the empty streets of toon world where it was dark and the lamps were dimmed. "Here we go." Daniel announced as his Duel Xero folded out.
"And it's down to this." Kai announced as his Duel Xero folded out.
"Duel!" They both yelled as their life points rose to 4000.
"I'll start!" Daniel announced, drawing his cards. "I'll summon Orpheus, in defense mode! (100/2500) I'll then set a card face down and end my turn!"
Kai drew his next card. "Now! I summon Skilled Black Magician! (1900/1700)" Kai announced as the magician materialized onto the field. "I'll then activate this magic card, Flip Over!"
"Flip over?" Daniel said in confusion.
"This magic card forces the activation of your face down card." Kai smiled as Daniel's face down card flipped up. The face down card was Sobek's Blessings. "And since your Sobek's Blessings has been activated, nothing will happen and it'll be destroyed!"
"What was the whole point in that?" Allen said.
"You don't see it?!" Mink said, looking down at Allen.
"Kai summoned Skilled Black Magician For a reason." Devon explained. "it needs three magic counters in order to activate it's effect. Kai forced Daniel's magic card to be activated, giving his Skilled Black Magician a counter. Plus his Flip Over magic card gave him an extra Magic Counter."
"Oooooh...." Allen said.
"Because two magic cards have been activated in one turn, Skilled Black Magician gains 2 Magic Counters!" Kai smiled as two black flames appeared over Skilled Black Magician's head. "I'll then set a card face down and end my turn!"
Daniel drew his next card. "I better do something or he'll summon Black Magician." Daniel said to himself, looking at his new card. "Buster Blader, but that'll only help him..."
Kai stood there, waiting for Daniel's move.
"Daniel looks stuck..." Jess pointed out.
"He always has trouble dueling friends. Heck even I have trouble." Allen said.
"yeah no wonder me and Jess always beat you." Mink laughed.
"Hey be quiet!" Allen said, waving his fist.
"Now! I activate this, Cost Down! Reducing all monster's in my hand by 2 levels! Now I'll sacrifice Orpheus to summon this, Buster Blader! (2600/2300)" Daniel announced. "Now! Attack and destroy his Skilled Black Magician!"
The warrior dove at the magician, slashing it with it's sword. Kai shielded himself as the magician's debris flew at him.
Kai's life points reduced to 3300. "Heh." Kai smiled. "Now! Activate trap card, Magical Rebirth!"
Daniel saw the trap card flip up and narrowed his eyes. "A trap card..." He thought.
"This trap card allows me to return the two Magic Counters you destroyed along with my Skilled Black Magician to the field as real life tokens!" Kai yelled as the two black flames materialized onto the field.
"Just enough for a sacrifice...." Daniel said to himself. "I'll end my turn...."
Kai drew his next card. "Now! I sacrifice both Magic Tokens to summon this, Black Magician! (2500/2100)" Kai announced as the magician materialized onto the field. "Now! I'll activate this magic card, Grave Destruction! Allowing me to remove a monster card from my graveyard and increase Black Magician's attack by half of the removed monster!"
Kai's graveyard slot slid out Skilled Black Magician, increasing his Black Magician's strength to 3450.
"No..." Daniel said as the Black Magician began to glow.
"Now! Attack and destroy his Buster Blader!" Kai called out.
The Black Magician pointed his staff at Buster Blader, sending a black streak of lightning at it, destroying it. Daniel watched as his life points reduced to 3150.
It was two strong duelist, battling out on each other. Jin watched from the big screen at the bench of the stadium.
"Let the chaos begin." Jin smiled, pressing a button on his laptop.
The box the movers had left in the arcade began to rattle, a claw emerged from the box and piercing red eyes opened.
The workers came back from their lunch break and the mechanical duelist had been removed from it's box. "Heh, atleast someone was kind enough to take it out." The worker smiled, walking off.
