Chapter 2
Practice Rounds
"Whoa!" me and my friends exclaimed as we saw the size of the rule book and the design of the dueldisk. "I'll have to study the rules tonight 'cause it says on the back that the tournament starts this weekend."
"It's too bad you guys aren't invited," Yugi said softly.
"How do you know it didn't come while we were over here?" asked Pyro.
"Yeah," Kazuki added. "We'll see you tomorrow guys." They left and then I decided to head home and check on the twins.
***
"Hey Shishomi and Sazuki," I said as my little sisters ran to give me a hug. "Where's mom?"
"She's downstairs Vaun," Shishomi informed me.
"Thanks," I said going down to our basement. "Hi mom."
"Hello Vaun," she replied. "Shorru and Kazuki called. They want you to call them back after you get the rice and egg rolls cooking for dinner."
"Okay," I yelled back as I started dashing upstairs to the kitchen.
***
"Hello, is Pyro there?" I asked Pyro's sister Becky.
"Yeah," she replied. "Let me get him for you. PYRO TELEPHONE." She yelled out to get Pyro to the phone faster.
"Hey man," Pyro said a few seconds after he was called for.
"I heard you called," I told him.
"Yeah," he replied. "Kazuki called me to tell you the good news. We've been invited to the tournament too."
"That's great."
"We know. Now we can go together and win together."
"Yeah."
"I've called Yugi and Kazuki and we've all agreed to meet at the Card Shop to have some practice duels after dinner."
"That sounds good. I'll be there A.S.A.P."
"Okay. See you then." And we hung up at the same time.
***
"So, everyone agree that I'll run the gauntlet first," Yugi said as we all locked the white and blue duel disks that had the new feature of an ID card slot. We slipped our ID cards and stated our names.
"I'll be your first opponent," Pyro said as he locked his deck into place.
"Let's Duel," they both said at the same time.
LP:8000/2000
"I'll set three cards face-down and summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior in defense mode," Yugi stated as three face-down cards appeared and a pink body with a giant S as well as a weird head and yellow eyes with a magnet in between the body and head and some wings.
"My turn," Pyro said. "I'll place two cards face down and play Ookazi." A wildfire burst to life around Yugi, swiftly burning away 800 of his Life Points. "Next I'll summon Dark Fire Soldier #1 in attack mode."
(LP: 7200/2000)
"I'll now sacrifice my Magnet Warrior for Summoned Skull and attack your Fire Soldier." (LP: 7200/1200)
"Aaargh. I'll summon a monster in defense mode and activate my trap card Attack and Receive which will deal 700 points of damage to your Life Points. Your turn." Shorru grumbled.
(LP: 6500/1200)
"I'll summon Retrained Celtic Guardian in attack mode. Now my Skull attack his monster."
"My Fire Sorcerer's effect takes place now. I'll remove two cards in my hand to inflict 800 points of damage."
(LP: 5700/1200)
"Now my Celtic Guardian, Attack."
(LP: 5700/0)
"I lose," Pyro said disappointed.
"I'm up next then," Kazuki said as he stepped up.
(LP: 5700/4000)
"I draw and play the Dagger of Butterfly's-Eruma." A small dagger of what seemed to be jade appeared, digging into the ground. "And now I can summon my Guardian Eruma, (1300/1200) in defense mode!" A figure wearing a butterfly shaped corset and long leather skirt appeared. She reached down and pulled the knife from the ground. She then bent down on her knees and tucking her arms in across her chest. "And then the Dagger of Butterfly's will raise her attack and defense points by 300!" (1600/1500) "I'll then end my turn by setting two cards face down.
"I'll set one card face down," Yugi said as a card appeared in front of him, " And summon Beta the Magnet Warrior. (1700/1600) Now my Magnet Warrior attack his Guardian Eruma." The Magnet warrior punched the guardian monster. "Now I'll have my other two monsters attack you directly.
(LP:5700/100)
"I'll draw and play the Rod of Silence-Kay'est allowing me to summon my Guardian Kay'est in defense mode (1000/1800)," Kazuki said as a jellyfish looking staff in a case appeared beside a mermaid who opened the case and pulled the rod out. "And my Rod of Silence raises it's defense by 500. (1000/2300)"
"I'll draw and summon my Dark Magician by sacrificing my Beta the Magnet Warrior and Retrained Celtic Guardian.(2500/2100) Dark Magic attack on his Guardian Kay'est."
"Heh. You've walked into a trap. Kay'est, Silence Wall." The attack was broken off.
"How?" Yugi asked in astonishment.
"My Guardian Kay'est can't be attacked or affected by Magic Cards," Kazuki replied to Yugi's question. "You've never encountered a Guardian Deck have you?"
"No, I haven't." Yugi said calmly. "Your turn."
"I set two cards face-down and play Axe of Gravity-Guraaru and special summon Guardian Guraaru.(2500/1000)" A dinosaur with a vest turned around and picked up a big axe. "My Axe of Gravity raises my monsters attack by 500. (3000/1000) Attack his Dark Magician."
(LP:5200/100)
"No, my Dark Magician," Yugi said as he drew. "I'll summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (1500/1200) in defense mode and switch my Skull to defense mode."
"You can't. Because of me Axe of Gravity prevents you from switching the positions of your monsters."
"Then I'll set another card face down."
"I'll now activate Card of Sanctity. Now both of us have to draw until we have six cards in our hands and you already have six. Now I'll have my Guardian attack your Skull."
(LP:4700/100)
"I'll now activate Card Destruction. And summon Kuriboh to the field in defense mode."
"I activate my trap card Last Turn. Last Turn has me choose one monster on my side of the field and destroy all other monsters on the field, and then you choose one monster from your deck and have it attack my monster. I choose Guraaru."
"I choose my Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500/3850). I win."
"I lose too," Kazuki said.
"I'm last," I said as I got into my position.
(LP:4700/6000)
"I'll summon Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600) in defense mode and set two cards face-down."
"I'll now play Monster Reborn to revive the Dark Magician and summon Skilled White Magician (1700/1900) in defense mode. Now Valkyrion attack his Gearfried."
"Activate Blast with Chain. My monster gains 500 attack points and when this card is destroyed I can destroy any card on the field. And since Gearfried can't have any cards on it, my trap is destroyed taking your Magna Warrior with my Trap."
"Drat. Now I'll have Dark Magician destroy Gearfried. I'll end my turn"
"Now I'll now set a monster in defense mode and one card face-down. Go."
"I'll now play Pot of Greed and now my White Magician gains a magic counter. Now my Dark Magician attack his monster."
"Activate Negate Attack which will block your attack."
"Your turn then."
"I'll reveal my Invader of the Throne (1350/1700) and activate it's special ability. I can switch this card for one of your monsters and I'll choose Dark Magician."
"No, not my Dark Magician."
"And I'll sacrifice it for Freed the Matchless General (2300/1700). Now Freed destroy his Invader."
(LP:3650/6000)
"I'll play Graceful Charity. I get to draw three cards but I have to discard two. I'll now Special Summon Watapon (?/300)."
"Hold up," I said as Yugi summoned his monster. "How did you get to Special Summon that thing?"
"Whenever Watapon is drawn outside the Draw Phase I can Special Summon it to the field."
"Oh, Ok."
"Now I'll offer it for Dark Magician Girl. (2000/1700) Now I'll combine her with Magic Formula to increase her attack points. Now my monster, attack his Freed."
(LP:3650/5500)
"How come I lost five hundred Life Points when I should have only lost two hundred?"
"Because my Dark Magician Girl gets three hundred extra points for every Dark Magician in the card graveyard."
"I'll now play Swords of Revealing Light to stall and The Warrior Returning Alive to summon Freed."
"I'll now summon Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode and end my turn."
"I'll now activate Freed's special ability. I can now search my deck for a warrior monster and add it to my hand. Now I'll summon the monster I just chose. Hayabusa Knight (1000/700). Now I'll play Reinforcement of the Army to put another monster into my hand, and a Fusion Sword Murasame Blade to raise my knights attack by 800 (1800/700). That will end my turn." Vaun said.
"I'll draw and summon Big Shield Guardna in defense mode. That's two turns down." Yugi exclaimed as another sword disappeared.
"I now draw and play Black Luster Ritual and offer Dark Blade and Don Zaloog from my hand to summon Black Luster Soldier (3000/2500)." A monster covered in armor and another with none appeared and were engulfed in flames as a Knight covered in blue armor came out of a panel with two crossing swords.
"Hah," Yugi laughed. "You just gave my Dark Magician a third counter and don't forget my White Magician who has three already."
"You still won't be able to do anything though." Vaun exclaimed. Now I play The A. Forces to raise all my monsters attacks by 200 for each Warrior." HK:(2400/700), F:(2900/1700), BLS:(3600/2500). "Now Hayabusa Knight will destroy your two magicians, Freed will destroy your Dark Magician Girl, and Black Luster Soldier will destroy your Guardna."
(LP:2350/5500)
"I'll set one card face down and summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior in defense mode (1400/1700)."
"I'll summon Wandering Hero Freed in attack mode (1700/1200)."
"You triggered my trap card," Yugi grinned as he pushed a button on his Duel Disk. "Dark Renewal! Dark Renewal allows me to sacrifice a monster on both sides of the field to revive a Spellcaster from the Graveyard. I choose Wandering Hero Freed and Alpha to summon Dark Magician."
"It doesn't matter," Vaun smirked. "Dark Magician is still weaker. Freed destroy the Dark Magician."
"I activate Waboku to stop your attack."
"I'll end my turn there."
"I now play Polymerization to fuse Dark Magician and Buster Blader to create Dark Paladin (2900/2400). Now I'll set one card face-down, set a monster face down and destroy your Hayabusa Knight."
(LP:2350/5000)
"I now summon Kings Knight in attack mode (2200/1500). and have my Soldier destroy your Paladin."
"I activate a trap card. DNA Surgery and I'll change everything to a Dragon giving my Paladin 4900 attack points."
"No, not my Soldier." KK(1600/1500), F(2300/1700)
(LP:2350/3700)
"Now I activate Diffusion Wave Motion. I pay 1000 Life Points and I can attack all your monsters at once."
(LP:1350/0)
"Ah man," Vaun said very discouraged.
