My fanfic continues. I appreciate the good words I received about it so far. This is chapter four and the climax of the duel between Weevil and Jason. I hope you enjoy it. Please read and review.
Chapter 4:
Continue the Fight – Ultimate Moth Emerges!
"Alright
bug boy, make your play. Show me this ultimate creature so I can
break it once and for all!" Jason said.
"Here it comes. I
summon Petit Moth (300/200) in attack mode!" Weevil declared as he
swiped the card.
In a flash of sparks a small
caterpillar-like creature appeared on his side of the field. Jason
looked at the monster and began laughing.
"That's your
ultimate creature?! I think you've got those glasses on too tight,
you little wimp."
"You won't mock me after I activate
this: Darkness Swarm," Weevil said while swiping a card. "It
allows me to special summon an insect from my hand or deck by paying
life points equal to that insect's attack power."
"It
sounds like you'll be nuking your own life points if your monster's
that powerful," Jason said with a humored tone.
"No,
because I am summoning Cocoon of Evolution (0/2000) in attack mode,"
Weevil retorted sharply.
A giant cocoon appeared on the
field, and began wrapping itself around Weevil's Petit Moth.
"What
are you doing to your monster?"
"You'll see in six
turns, for when the cocoon hatches, my ultimate monster will be born.
Then, you will know pain!"
"I'll shatter your cocoon in
six turns," Jason said.
"No, you won't. I'll activate
Insect Barrier!"
Weevil swiped the card and a large yellow
barrier criss-crossed between Jason and Weevil.
"This card
prevents all of your insects from attacking. And since Parasite
Paracide is active on your side of the field, that would be all of
your monsters! So with that out of the way, I'll end my
turn."
Jason grumbled, then, drew.
'This can't
help me. I need a way to stop his monster. Well, I might as well get
my defenses up.' "I'll set one monster and end my
turn."
Weevil simply drew and ended his turn. Jason drew and
found nothing to use again, so he ended his turn as well.
Weevil
pulled the top card from his deck.
"Are you scared yet?"
he asked with a mocking smirk.
"I'll never be scared of a
little blue-haired, bug brained freak like you," Jason
responded.
"You will be scared soon enough. I'll set one
monster and end my turn."
Jason drew. 'Still nothing.
Where are my good cards?' "I'll set one more monster and switch
my Mad Dog of Darkness to defense mode. End turn."
"I'll
place one monster down in defense as well, and end my turn," Weevil
said after drawing.
'It's been three turns and I still
have nothing to stop that damn thing.' "I'll end my
turn."
-------------------------------------------------
Yugi
sat on the bench watching Joey duel a girl. He couldn't stop
thinking about the card that Jason showed him.
'Could that
have been an Egyptian god card?' he thought.
If it was, we
are in a lot of trouble, Yami said from the back of Yugi's
mind.
'Why do you think we weren't told about it,
though?'
"Because it was just discovered," came a
mysterious voice from behind Yugi.
Yugi turned around to see
Shadi standing in the bushes behind him.
"Oh Shadi. I didn't
know that you were back there. What do mean, 'just
discovered'"?
"Simple. The god card was only recently
discovered in an Egyptian tomb by an eager archeologist. He held on
to the card for a while, but the Rare Hunters stole it."
Yugi
nearly jumped six feet out of his skin.
"Rare Hunters?! You
mean Marik had the card?"
"No. Marik only controlled a
handful of Rare Hunters. The ones that I'm talking about worked for
a man named Lord Superior. These Rare Hunters possessed the card only
for a short while before I stepped in."
"Then what
happened?" Joey asked.
Yugi jumped again.
"Joey!
Don't scare me like that!"
"Sorry, Yug. So anyway, what
after that?"
"Afterwards, I carried the card back to
Egypt, but the Rare Hunters were already there looking for the other
god cards. I came back to warn you, but I assumed that Ishizu had
already told you about it along with the other god cards."
"She
didn't say anything to us," Yami said, taking his usual
transparent form.
"Ah, Pharaoh. So good of you to join us.
If Ishizu didn't tell you, then she must not have known about it
either. It was kept in such secrecy, for it is the most powerful
Egyptian god card in existence."
"Even more powerful than
Ra?" Yugi asked.
"Much more powerful. In the wrong hands,
it could mean the end of the world."
"So how did that boy
get it?" Yami asked.
"I entrusted it to him," Shadi
responded.
"Are you sure that was the right decision?"
Yami asked.
"No. I did it out of desperation. The Rare
Hunters were getting too close. I had to throw them off. Besides,
only one with a link to the ancient past can wield a god card."
"I
hope that you're right, Shadi," Yugi
said.
-------------------------------------------------
"Are
you done yet?" Weevil asked impatiently.
Six turns had
passed and Jason could do nothing. Weevil set two monsters, and Jason
was staring at his hand wondering what to do.
"Yeah, my turn
is over," Jason said.
Weevil drew, then, looked out at the
field with great expectation. He held his arms out in
anticipation.
"Come forth, my great beast!"
The
cocoon hardened, then, shattered. A giant green moth flapped its
multicolored wings and screeched loudly.
"Oh my God! That
thing is huge! How can I stop that?" Jason exclaimed.
"You
can't, fool! Now, my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth (3500/3000),
attack the Mad Dog of Darkness!"
The moth unleashed a
powerful twister that engulfed the dog and destroyed it.
"Too
bad for your puppy. I'll end my turn."
Jason drew and
decided to take action.
"Here's one solution. I'll
activate Mystical Space Typhoon. And my target is your Insect
Barrier."
A holographic tornado broke through the barrier,
allowing Jason's monsters to attack again.
"Now to do
something at least. I'll summon Spear Dragon (1900/0) in attack
mode."
Jason swiped the card and a large blue dragon with a
long, blade-like nose appeared on the field next to his defense
monsters, then, received the insect treatment from Parasite Paracide.
"Now, Spear Dragon, attack the defense monster on the
left."
The dragon fired a twister of its own and shattered
through Weevil's defense monster, which was revealed to be a large
worm with spikes sticking out of its body.
"Ha! You attacked
my Needle Worm (400/600), which forces you to discard the top five
cards of your deck," Weevil said triumphantly.
Jason spat
out a few curses as he pulled the five cards from the top of his deck
and placed them in his graveyard slot.
"That doesn't
matter to me. You still lose life points due to my Dragon's
effect."
(Jason: 3100) (Weevil: 4400)
"I'll
end my turn," Jason said as Spear Dragon switched to defense
mode.
Weevil drew and gave the command to his moth to destroy
Spear Dragon. His monster fired its twister and shattered the dragon.
He then set one card and ended his turn.
Jason looked at his
deck and prayed for a miracle. He drew.
'Awesome. This is
just what I needed.' "I'll activate Raigeki! Say goodbye to
your monsters!" Jason said as he swiped the card.
Lightning
crashed down from the sky and struck Weevil's monsters. There was
an explosion and a cloud of dust.
"Now who's going to feel
pain?" Jason taunted.
He looked at the field, and almost had
a heart attack when the dust cleared. Weevil's monsters were still
standing. A strange shield-like device hovered over them.
"Sorry,
but that won't happen with my Spell Shield Type 8 trap card. It
negates spell effects at the cost of discarding a spell card from my
hand, so goodbye Insect Imitation and hello your demise," Weevil
said.
"Why won't you die like the cockroach that you are?
I'll just end my turn."
Weevil drew, and didn't even
bother looking at the card.
"Now I'll flip over Man-Eater
Bug (250/300), whose effect destroys one monster on the field. And
I'll destroy your Zombyra the Dark (2400/400)."
Weevil's
insect materialized onto the field and used its claws to slash
through Jason's monster.
"And now, I'll attack the
monster on the right with my moth."
The moth unleashed its
twister and ripped through the monster card. A strange worm appeared
and wrapped itself around Weevil's moth.
"What the hell is
that thing?" Weevil exclaimed, pointing at the worm wrapped
tenaciously around his monster.
"Let's just say that
you're not the only one with a parasite in your deck. Meet my Death
Kiriva (600/300). It's one of my favorite monsters. If I have a
face up monster on the field, once during each of my turns it drains
500 attack points from your moth and transfers them to that monster.
Of course I have to pay 500 life points for the transfer to happen,
but it's worth it."
"I'll destroy you before then, I
swear it. But for now I'll end my turn."
Jason drew, then,
chuckled with renewed confidence.
"Now I'll sacrifice the
Parasite Parcide that has been a pain in my ass for so long, and I'll
summon my Cyber Tech Alligator (2500/1500) in attack mode of
course."
Jason swiped the card and a beam of light shot from
the ground and absorbed the Parasite. A large mechanical alligator
stepped forth and spread its metallic wings.
"Now I'll set
one card and have my Death Kiriva go to work."
The worm bit
into Weevil's moth and absorbed some of its energy. Then it fired a
beam of energy from its eyes that hit Cyber Tech Alligator
(3000/1500)
(Jason: 2600) (Weevil: 4400)
"Looks
like my alligator and your moth (3000/3000) are dead even. I'll
attack the Man-Eater Bug that you so graciously left in attack
mode."
The Alligator flew forward and slashed through
Weevil's bug with its metal claws, shredding the insect into
pieces.
(Jason: 2600) (Weevil: 1650)
"Now,
you're in serious trouble. I'll end my turn."
Weevil
drew, seemingly unaffected by the loss of life points.
"Perfectly
Ultimate Great Moth, attack Cyber Tech Alligator!"
The moth
reared up and unleashed a fierce tornado. At the same time the Cyber
Tech Alligator leaped up and slashed the moth with its claws just as
it caught the twister. Both monsters shattered along with Death
Kiriva.
"Now, I'll activate my Monster Reborn. Return to
me my great beast!" Weevil said triumphantly.
"Ha, just
what I expected. You've triggered my trap card: Magical Brainwash.
It allows me to automatically take control of any monster that my
opponent summons until the end of my turn."
The Perfectly
Ultimate Great Moth appeared on Weevil's side of the field for a
second, but then transferred over to Jason's side.
"Fine.
I'll place one card face down and end my turn."
Jason
drew, sure of victory.
"I don't like that face down card,
so I'll activate another Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy it."
A
twister shot up and shattered Weevil's trap card.
"Oh
no!" the bug duelist exclaimed.
"Oh yes! It's your
demise. Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, attack Weevil's life
points directly!"
The moth unleashed its twister and struck
Weevil directly, knocking him to the ground.
(Jason: 2600)
(Weevil: 0)
"Now who's so tough?" Jason asked as Weevil
writhed on the ground.
His duel gauntlet beeped causing Jason
to jump. He looked at the display. The numbers on it were jumping
repeatedly.
"Alright, what the hell is going on here?"
A
strange code appeared on his gauntlet, then, disappeared and the
device shut off.
"Wait. The guide talked about this. I
must've gotten Weevil's key code program."
Jason looked
down at Weevil, who was ranting about how he was cheated.
"Um,
excuse me. I believe there was a stipulation to this duel," he
said.
"What stipulation," Weevil responded
vehemently.
"Let me refresh your memory."
Jason
picked Weevil up and dragged him to the nearest dumpster, where he
tossed the bug duelist.
"There we go. Now you can rot with
the rest of the garbage. And by the way, I'll be keeping your
parasite card, and this nice Spell Shield Type 8," he said after
lifting Weevil's deck from his pocket.
Jason went through
the rest of Weevil's cards and found nothing of interest until he
came to the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. He thought about using it
as trade bait, but realized that he had enough of that as it was, so
he simply tore the card to pieces.
"It wouldn't have been
this way if you just learned some humility."
Jason tossed
the rest of Weevil's deck over his shoulder and walked away,
whistling.
-------------------------------------------------
Number
two walked through the streets along with some of the Rare Hunters.
They shook down anyone they suspected of having the god card.
"Keep
searching. One of these little punks has that card!" Number Two
commanded.
The Hunters continued their search.
--------------------------------------------
Yugi and Joey
walked down the street looking for opponents and discussing battle
strategies. A shrill scream caught Yugi's attention. The two
duelists ran until they reached the end of the block where they found
two Rare Hunters harassing a girl.
"Where is it? Where is
the god card?!" One of them screamed.
"I don't know, I
swear I don't know!" the girl responded.
One of the
Hunters slapped the girl hard across the face and called her a liar.
Then, he ordered a search.
"Stop it, right now you freaks!"
Joey cried out.
The Hunters turned to face him.
"Stay
out of this you little punk! It doesn't concern you," one
said.
The young girl jumped up and ran as fast as she
could.
"Antoine, don't let her get away!" One of the
Hunters yelled.
"It's too late, Sentu. She's gone,"
Antoine responded. "But these two are still here."
Yugi
stepped forward.
"You two are going to pay for this. Let's
duel, right now," he said.
The Millennium Puzzle glowed
brightly and Yami's spirit took over.
"This will be a
double duel with Joey and I versus you two. If you win, then you can
do with us whatever you want. But if we win, then the two of you will
face your punishment."
"Fine by us," the second Hunter
said as he activated his duel gauntlet.
The four got into
their positions and prepared to duel.
