Chapter 157: The Duelist Within.
_________________________________
"Hmph. Looks like the little tyke has taken the challenge." Jin smirked. "A toast, Gacku, for a little Takura Hiyaki for his brave but foolish attempt."
"Right Mr. Hoi." Gacku, the driver, said as he rose a glass of whine. As he rose his hand up, a Duel Xero followed up.
"Heh, with my army of upgraded duelist, Paul will have to forfeit his life over to me, making me the most successful business man in the entire world." Jin smirked, starring back at the laptop.
"I'll start!" Takura announced, drawing his cards. "I summon Megami Baby Doll (1700/2300) in defense mode! I'll then end my turn!"
The DOC reached for it's next card. "Deteriorating Rain, activated." The machine announced.
Suddenly clouds appeared and it began to rain on the doll, melting it. "No!" Takura thought.
"Summoning, Berserk Gorilla (2000/1000)" The DOC announced. "Direct attack"
The gorilla's eyes turned flashing red, sending a red blast at Takura. Takura wailed, his life points reduced to 2000.
"Oh no!" Jess said in shock. "Takura!"
"I'm fine!" Takura called out, brushing himself off.
"One card face down. Turn end." The DOC announced.
Takura drew his next card. "I'll set a card face down and summon Jack Box! (1200/1300)" Takura announced. "This monster allows me to roll a dice and guess the number. If I guess correctly, I'll have to destroy the amount of monsters as the number of the dice lands on."
"This is a no brainer. How can he get it?" Allen said.
"Just watch." Devon pointed.
"Now! I guess number 1!" Takura yelled. Suddenly the box's top opened and the jack in the box popped out, holding the dice. The toy monster then threw the dice onto the floor, landing on what Takura said, 1.
"Wha?!" Allen said, in shock.
"Now! Your Berserk Gorilla is destroyed!" Takura yelled.
Suddenly the DOC's monster exploded. "Alright Takura! Go for the direct attack!" Mink cheered.
"Now! Jack Box, attack it's life points directly!" Takura announced.
"Reveal trap card, Mirror Force." The DOC announced.
"Agh!" Kai said in shock as the trap card flipped up.The Jack Box emerged from it's box, wielding a long scythe.
A barrier formed around the DOC, protecting it. "Ack!" Takura thought as Jack Box got closer to the barrier. "Activate trap card, Interdiemensional Matter Transporter!"
Suddenly Takura's Jack Box vanished out of no where and the attack didn't make it. "Phew that was close." Daniel sighed.
"But the DOC can still summon a stronger monster." Devon mentioned.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Takura announced as Jack Box returned to the field.
The DOC drew it's next card. "Now, activating Cost Down and summoning Airknight Parshath (1900/1400)" The DOC announced as a warrior centaur materialized onto the field. "Attack Jack Box"
The centaur galloped over to the box, slashing it with it's sword and destroying it. Takura's life points reduced to 1400.
"That thing is too strong." Takura sighed. "I'll never beat it."
"Effect: Draw one card." The DOC announced, drawing it's card. "One card face down. Turn end."
Takura drew his next card with hesitation. "Come on Takura! Don't lose hope!" Jess cheered.
Takura stared back with his eyes and sighed. "Takura! Remember, for your family. You've always wanted to be a great duelist, but being a hero is more. Do this for everyone here, do it for your family!" Daniel shouted out.
Takura looked back with pride and smiled. "Right!" He said, facing the robot. "Now! I summon Clayton Tank! (1900/1000)"
"Ack... That monster has equal strength to Airknight Parshath...." Allen groaned.
"Now! Clayton Tank, attack and destroy his Airknight!" Takura announced.
"What is he thinking?!" Kai said in shock as the cannon aimed at the knight and fired a toy missile. The missile struck the Airknight, destroying it but the Tank remained face up, shifting into defense mode.
"Looks like Clayton Tank lasts for another turn." Devon suggested.
"My turn ends!" Takura called out.
"Activate magic card, Deteriorating Rain." The DOC announced.
"Another copy!" Daniel said in shock as Takura's Clayton Tank dissolved.
"Takura's going to lose..." Mink sighed.
"Now summoning Glade Dragon. Sacrifice Glade Dragon to summon Chaos Emperor Dragon, Envoy of The End (3000/2500)" The DOC announced.
"Doesn't that thing need a special sacrifice of a Light and Dark monster?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, but the DOC can summon it with Glade Dragon anyway. It's a absolutely strong monster but the DOC needs to sacrifice 1000 life points in order to activate it's effect." Devon explained.
"But what is it's effect?" Kai asked.
"No one knows, it's an extremely rare card." Devon said, biting his lip.
"Now activate Chaos Emperor Dragon's effect. Sacrifice 1000 life points (DOC: 4000)" The robot announced. "Takura Hiyaki, discard hand to graveyard"
Takura did what it told him to do and the DOC did the same. Takura had no cards on the field. "Activate trap card, Interdiemensional Transport Matter" The DOC announced, saving it's dragon.
Takura's life points reduced to 500. "Looks like they both had to discard all cards in their hands and including the field." Daniel said.
"Yeah. The robot knew some how Takura would summon a monster to direct attack it because the dragon itself would be destroyed. But now that it's ending it's turn, Takura will have a bigger problem now..." Kai said.
"Turn end." The DOC announced.
Takura drew his next card and Chaos Emperor Dragon reappeared. "Activate magic card, Pot of Greed!" Takura announced, drawing his two cards. "Now! Activate magic card, Hand Me Downs!"
"Hand Me Downs...." Mink thought. "Hey Takura! Like to fill us in?"
"Yeah! This magic card will cause DOC to discard any cards he draws out of his draw phase. It's perfect for my plan." Takura smiled. "Now I summon a monster in defense position, turn end!"
DOC drew it's next card. Daniel smiled. "I see that it's now easy to beat this thing with any level." Daniel smiled.
"What are you talking about?! Takura is nearly at his knees now!" Allen stammered.
"Duh. But the DOC has almost every card in existence. What's the chance of it drawing a monster card. Or even a helpful trap or magic card." Daniel said.
"Oooo... I see." Allen smiled.
"Chaos Emperor Dragon attacks face down defense monster." The DOC announced.
"Reveal monster card!" Takura announced. "Morphing Jar!"
"Alright!" Jess cheered. "No wonder he played Hand Me Downs!"
"Wow, good plan." Kai said, amazed.
Takura drew his next 5 cards while DOC was forced to do nothing. "Turn end." The DOC announced.
Takura drew his next card. "Now! I activate Cost Down, summoning RC Racer! (1400/1700)" Takura announced. "I'll then activate Share The Pain, sacrificing RC Racer to destroy your Chaos Emperor Dragon!"
Both monsters were destroyed instantly then Takura took another card out of his hand. "Go Takura!" A couple kids said from behind the robot.
Takura smiled, knowing he had many friends cheering him on. "Now! I activate Raise Dead, brining back RC Racer! Then I activate this, Scapegoat to summon 4 scapegoat!" Takura announced. "Now I can sacrifice my four scapegoat so my RC Racer can attack directly, four times!"
"Yah Takura! That's the duelist we're talking about!" Jess cheered.
"Now! RC Racer, attack DOC directly!" Takura announced.
The race car moved and turned into a fireball with 4 times it's strength, striking the DOC. Sparks emerged from the robot from the hard blow, falling over onto it's side.
The eye's turned off and the security was released, letting in light into the room.
"That was strange...." Kai said. "The DOC was controlling the security...."
"Either Paul gave it a brain, or someone hacked into it." Devon said.
"Someone must have hacked... Paul would never try to hurt us again.. Would he?" Mink asked. Takura came back with happiness.
"You did great, Takura!" Mink said, patting him on the head.
"Thanks^^;" He said.
"Damn it..." Jin snarled, throwing his glass of wine out the window.
"I'm sorry sir..." Gacku said solemnly.
"I don't blame you... It's those mediocre kids... They need to be taught a lesson. Is my Game Rooms ready yet?" Jin said.
"Yes sir, all up and a go." Gacku said.
"Good... The King of games will be in a big surprise. Once you mess with Hoi, I stay in your dreams.... He will pay for my defeat." Jin growled, shutting his laptop.
