Chapter 150: Divine Duel: On To The Finals, Part 3
_________________________________
The score was Kai: 2000 and Daniel: 2650. Kai has just unleashed his newest monster to his deck, Rose Knight Bishop which has powers to limit the monster's Dan can have on his field.
"My turn!" Daniel announced, drawing his next card. "If I can just get the right card..."
Daniel looked at the card and smiled. "Huh?" Kai said in confusion.
"I've drawn the card I need but It'll have to wait for a while." Daniel said. "Meanwhile! I'll sacrifice Big Shield Guardna to summon Death Volstargaf, attack mode! (2200/1700) I'll then set a card face down and end my turn!"
Kai drew his next card. "I know he's hiding a Metalmorph." Kai thought. "It's just the matter of stopping him."
"Here we go...." Daniel huffed in his mind.
"Your trap card doesn't fool me." Kai smiled. "Now! Activate magic card, Mystical Space Typhoon!"
"Wrong." Daniel smiled.
"What?!" Kai said in shock.
"You've triggered my other trap card, Meal Worm!" Daniel called out.
"Meal Worm?!" Kai said.
"This trap card causes me to discard my hand and draw 5 new cards." Daniel explained as he drew his cards. "Now it allows me to destroy a monster on your field! So say bye to Rose Knight Bishop!"
Suddenly Kai smiled. "I've been waiting for this to happen." He said.
"What?!" Daniel gasped.
"Now! Activate trap card, Good Fortune!" Kai announced. "I can discard another monster card from my hand as a substitute for Meal Worm."
"Darn it...." Daniel thought.
"Now! Rose Knight Bishop, attack and destroy his Death Volstargaf! (2400/1700)" Kai commanded.
The knight blasted a tornado of rose petals at the demon, destroying it, and leaving Dan with 2550 life points.
As the demon was destroyed another rose popped up in it's place, blocking two of Daniel's monster zones.
"Harsh... Having to only play 3 monsters..." Allen thought.
"My turn ends!" Kai announced.
"Well, atleast I got some cards..." Daniel thought, drawing another card.
"Whose next to duel...." Paul asked in his mind, going back to the Toon World Tournament. "Kai VS Daniel... Peh waste of his time to even try to beat Daniel, he'll never stand a chance."
Daniel looked at his card. "Haven't used this old guy in a while." Daniel smiled down at his card. "Now! I summon Warrior of Freed! (1200/1300) Allowing me to summon another monster from my hand. And I summon Suijin! (2500/2200)"
"No... A Gate Guardian piece!" Kai said in shock as the piece materialized onto the field.
"Now! I activate Yield Tribute, to special summon Kazejin! (2400/2200)" Daniel announced.
"You're fresh out of monster zones! You won't be able to summon the last piece!" Kai pointed.
"Your right but there's always this, Special Summoning!" Daniel announced, placing the magic card onto the field. "Allowing me to sacrifice summon a monster from my hand. But I'll play it in combination with Cost Down!"
"Alright! It's the return of Gate Guardian!" Mink cheered happily.
"Darn it...." Kai growled.
"So now! I sacrifice Warrior of Freed to summon the final Gate Guardian piece, Sanga of The Thunder! (2500/2200)" Daniel announced as the gate guardian piece of thunder came up on the field. "I'll now sacrifice Kazejin, Suijin, and Sanga of The Thunder to summon Gate Guardian! (3750/3400)"
The legendary monster arose from the ground onto the field as the three pieces were sacrificed to it.
"Alright! Dan's gonna win!" Jess cheered.
"Now! Gate Guardian, attack and destroy his Rose Knight!" Daniel commanded.
The giant monster rose it's arms, sending a swirl of water, lightning, and wind at the rose knight, destroying it and reducing Kai's life points to 750.
The 2 roses blocking Daniel's monster zones vanished as Kai was clear of magic, trap, and monster cards but was still standing.
Daniel ended his turn and Kai drew his next card, smiling. "Now! I activate this, Revival of Black Paladin!" Kai announced, slapping the magic card onto the field.
"Ack..." Daniel thought.
"This card allows me to bring back Buster Blader and Black Magician to my hand!" Kai announced as the two cards slipped out of his graveyard holster. "I'll then play Polymerization! Fusing Black Magician and Buster Blader into Black Paladin! (2900/2400)"
"But that thing is weaker than Gate Guardian... Why does Dan look so tense." Allen asked.
"Why else do you think Kai summoned it? He has a plan!" Devon said.
"I'll then activate this magic card, Devil's Gem. This card equips to your Gate Guardian, keeping you from giving it any commands." Kai smiled as the gem placed itself right on top of Gate Guardian's forehead. "My turn ends!"
Daniel jerked his head. "Dang... Kai puts up a good fight." Daniel thought, drawing his next card. "Now!"
Suddenly Kai smiled. "It's too late! Activate trap card, Really Eternal Rest!" Kai announced as his trap card flipped up.
"What?!" Daniel said in shock.
"This trap card destroys all monsters that are equipped with equip cards." Kai announced as a giant tornado picked up.
"Ah!" Devon said in shock. "Kai wasn't trying to stall... he had a plan going on."
Daniel shielded himself as Gate Guardian was picked up from the dark toon world street and destroyed.
Kai smiled, destroying another one of Daniel's strongest monsters. "I'll summon Basic Defense Shield (0/1900), defense mode!" Daniel announced. "I'll then set a card and end my turn!"
Kai drew his next card. "Now! Black Paladin! Attack and destroy his Basic Defense Shield!" Kai announced.
The magician blasted a wave of black light at the shield, destroying it. "Since you've destroyed my shield, it brings up Advanced Defense Shield into my hand!" Daniel announced as his deck holster slid out a card. Daniel took the card, looking at it, and adding it to his hand.
Kai ended his turn and Daniel drew his next card, smiling. "I'm sorry I have to do this." Daniel said. "Now! I summon Advanced Defense Shield! (0/2500)"
"But that's only a defense monster..." Kai said in confusion.
"Yes, but it also comes with a great effect!" Daniel yelled. "Advanced Defense Shield allows me to special summon a monster from my graveyard!"
Suddenly Gate Guardian (0/3400) formed onto the field. "No!" Kai gasped.
"Although it's attack points are reduced to 0, Advanced Defense Shield's attack is increased by how much Gate Guardian originally had! (3750/2500)" Daniel explained.
"Alright!" Allen cheered. "Daniel is going to the finals!"
Kai's shocked faced turned into a heart warming smile. "It was good while it lasted! Good luck on the finals." Kai said with a thumbs up.
"Thanks!" Daniel said. "Now! Advanced Defense Shield, attack and destroy Black Paladin!"
The shield began to glow, shooting a red beam from the design in the middle, directly at the magician, destroying it, and reducing Kai's life points to 0.
"Daniel is the winner! He now moves on to the finals!" Pegasus announced back at the arena.
Jin smiled. "Excellent." He smiled, waiting at the arena a few feet away from Pegasus. "My wish has been granted and soon, I'll be defeating the two heroes of Duel Monsters."
Daniel began to walk back to the arena. "Jin... You'll pay for hurting all my friends But I won't let you hurt me." He thought.
Paul saw the opening towards Toon World, smiling. "Jin... You're mine and mine alone. I will make you beg for mercy." Paul smiled with anticipation.
