Demon Duelist Legacy-World Tour Arc
Chapter 2: A Canine Double-Team Challenge-Part 2
Deondre and Daniel clicked their duel disks into place. "Let's duel!"
Alks drew his five cards and then his sixth. "Now it's time to see if your successes during the Shadow Corporation tournament were a fluke or not."
Daniel smirked. "Oh? Is that the only reason you are challenging us?"
"Perhaps it is." Alks slid two cards into his duel disk. "I set these two cards face-down on the field." The two brown-backed cards appeared on his field. "And then I set this monster in face-down defense mode." He placed a card in a horizontal position on his duel disk and it appeared in front of his two magic/trap cards on the field. "End turn."
Daniel drew his five and then his sixth. ("Now let's see what we have to work with.") His eye flicked over the six cards, and he knew exactly what he needed to do. "I set one monster in defense mode and set two cards face-down on my field. End turn." The three cards appeared on his field, copying Alks' field exactly.
Ladgie drew and slid two cards into his duel disk. "I play the magic cards Poison of the Old Man and Dian Keto the Cure Master. These allow me to restore 1000 and 1200 life points to one target on the field. And I choose Alks." A glowing mixture of green and gold light fell over the bigger man as his life point counter increased.
Alks- 6200
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 4000
Deondre- 4000
Deondre looked down at the life point counter on his duel disk and frowned. ("Why heal Alks? He hasn't taken any damage yet.")
Ladgie slid two cards into his duel disk and one monster card horizontal on his disk. "Then I set two cards face-down on my field and one monster in defense mode. End turn."
Deondre drew and he smiled. "I could just play defensively, but let's try this instead." He slid the card he had drawn into his duel disk. "I'll play the continuous magic card Soul Absorption. Now whenever a card is removed from play I will gain 500 life points."
Grabbing a card from his hand, he slapped it down onto his disk. "And then I'll summon D.D. Warrior Lady (1500/1600) to the field in attack mode!" A blond-haired woman wearing a grey bodysuit appeared on his field. She drew her laser dagger and then nodded to her familiar master. Deondre smiled at her and nodded back. "Now attack Ladgie's face-down monster card. Dimensional Dagger Strike!" The woman launched across the field and slammed her dagger down onto the dark-suited little man's face-down monster card. The card shuddered for a few moments and then it exploded into little digital bits.
Ladgie shrugged casually and slid the card into the graveyard slot on his duel disk. "That wasn't really all that bad."
Deondre slid two more cards into his duel disk. "It's going to get worse before I am done. I set these two cards face-down and end my turn."
Alks drew and slid his face-down monster into the graveyard. "And now I summon my perfect defender." A steel trap door appeared on his field. "I summon Satellite Cannon (0/0) in attack mode. In three turns it will launch, and then you'll be out of luck. End turn."
"With stats like that, it won't last one turn." Daniel drew and placed his next monster on his disk. "I summon X-Head Cannon (1800/1500) in attack mode!" A blue and yellow robot with cannon barrels on its shoulders appeared on his field. "Now attack Alks' Satellite Cannon!" The machine aimed its cannons at the metal trap door and fired a beam of laser energy that slammed against the metal.
Nothing happened though. Alks smirked and pointed at the trap door. "Satellite Cannon cannot take any damage from monsters that are level seven or lower, and therefore it's almost invincible."
Daniel fanned out his hand and sighed. ("Nothing else I can do at the moment, is there?") "End turn."
Ladgie drew and slid a card into his duel disk. "Now I play the magic card Soul of the Pure, raising Alks' life points by 800." A blue light engulfed his partner as the life point counter shot up again.
Alks- 7000
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 4000
Deondre- 4000
Ladgie then took his last card and slid it into his duel disk. "And now I set this card face-down on my field and end my turn."
Deondre drew and growled, one of his ears flicking a little in irritation. ("Nothing much I can do about his face-down cards.") "I attack with my D.D. Warrior Lady!" The woman shot forward, only to swerve in mid-charge and slam her blade down onto the steel trap door that held Alks' Satellite Cannon. Deondre stared at his monster in confusion. "What are you doing, I said attack Ladgie!"
"She can't, at least not this turn." Ladgie held up his face-down card. "I used my Shift trap card to redirect her attack to Alks' monster."
Deondre nodded to Alks. "Fine, take your turn."
The bigger dark-suited man drew and flipped up his face-down cards. "I'm tired of waiting for the Satellite Cannon to get ready, so I reveal my two face-down trap cards." Up above his field, a pair of ancient looking stone clocks appeared and both hands on them spun forward. "My Pyro Clock of Destiny trap cards will increase the turn count by one apiece, meaning that now that three turn wait for my Satellite cannon is up." The metal hatch flipped open and a missile-sized rocket shot out of it. The rocket left a jet stream behind it as it disappeared into the sky.
Daniel, Deondre, and most of the student body watching duel stared at the disappearing form of the rocket. Then Daniel broke the silence with, "Ooookay....where's it going?"
Alks slid two cards into his duel disk and slapped down a monster. "Now I set two cards face-down on my field and summon my personal favorite." A winged red-haired girl dressed in a skimpy nurse's outfit and wielding a huge medical syringe appeared on his field. "I summon Injection Fairy Lily (400/1500) in attack mode!" The fairy winked at Daniel. "And now I'll attack your X-Head Cannon!"
Lily grabbed her syringe and flew across the field, stabbing the giant medical tool into the body of Daniel's monster.
Daniel rolled his eyes and pointed at the needle sticking in his machine. "X-Head, blow that thing away."
Alks tapped his duel disk. "It's not quite that easy. You think that I would attack with a monster as weak as Lily unless she had a special ability. By sacrificing 2000 life points, I may raise her attack strength by 3000 points!" (3400/1500)
Alks- 5000
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 2400
Deondre- 4000
Alks' Injection Fairy's syringe injected the green substance inside it into Daniel's monster. The X-Head Cannon made a curious beeping noise and started to shudder. Lily pulled her syringe out of the monster and then flew back over to Alks' field. The X-Head Cannon promptly exploded, spraying Daniel with heat and smoke.
Daniel coughed a few times and swept the smoke away with his hand. "That's a pretty hefty cost, even for a 3400 attacker."
Alks shrugged. "Trust me kid, I can pay it."
Daniel drew. "I'm sure you can, but let's see how Injection Fairy Lily does against this! I sacrifice my face-down monster to summon Wolf Demon Lord (2400/1000) in attack mode!" The face-down card faded away and was replaced by a humanoid creature with golden-amber eyes and wearing samurai armor. "You're not going to find this monster so easy to beat. Now attack Ladgie's life points directly!" The wolf demon drew his katana, which was alive with pulsing blue-white fire. It slammed the weapon into the ground and created a wave of blue-white energy that tore across the field towards the smaller man. "Howling Sword!"
Ladgie flipped up another of his face-down cards. "That won't work against me! Reveal another Shift card. This time I will redirect your monster's attack to my partner's Lily."
Alks tapped a button on his duel disk. "And I'll pay another 2000 life points to raise Lily's attack power by 3000 for one turn." (3400/1500)
Alks- 3000
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 2400
Deondre- 4000
Deondre gritted his teeth as her watched the wave of energy get absorbed by Lily's syringe and then shot back at Daniel's monster. ("Crap...") The released wave slammed into the Wolf Demon Lord and blew the warrior into little digital pieces.
Alks chortled happily. "That's another hunk of your life points down the drain."
Daniel lifted up his duel disk and tapped the life point counter. "Look again Alks."
The bigger man looked down at his disk and his eyes widened in surprise. "Your life points haven't changed at all? Why?"
Daniel held up the Wolf Demon Lord card. "Because when Wolf Demon Lord is destroyed in battle, I do not take damage from its demise." He slid the card into his graveyard and then slid a card into his duel disk. "Now before I end my turn, I'll set this face-down."
Ladgie drew off the top of his deck and slid the card into his duel disk. "Now I set this card face-down and end my turn."
Deondre drew and glanced hopefully at his Soul Absorption continuous magic card. ("So far I haven't gotten a chance to use you. That should change in a second though.") "D.D. Warrior Lady, attack Alks' Injection Fairy Lily now!" The woman drew her dagger and launched across the field towards the white-clothed angel.
Alks chuckled and glanced over at his partner. "Do it."
Ladgie nodded and tapped a button on his duel disk. "I reveal my face-down trap, Attack Redirect. This forces your monster to attack a target on my choice on the field. And you're going to be attacking your own partner!" The D.D. Warrior Lady skidded to a stop and reversed direction, headed towards Daniel now.
Daniel tapped a button on his duel disk and his face-down card flipped up. "I reveal my face-down card, Reverse of Reverse! This allows me to use one card on another player's field as my own, so I'll be using Ladgie's other face-down card now!" The card flipped up and a steel-grey suit of demonic armor appeared on Daniel's field. "Just like I thought, Attack Redirection Armor! Now I'll use it change the Warrior Lady's target back to Alks' Lily!"
The armor flew over to Alks' field and clamped into place around his Injection Fairy. Deondre's D.D. Warrior Lady skidded to a stop for a second time and charged towards Lily now.
Alks flipped up his own face-down card. "Reveal Negate Attack! This will stop your attack and end Deondre's battle phase!" A swirling vortex stopped the Warrior Lady as well as a brick wall would have. The blond-haired dimensional warrior turned and walked calmly back to Deondre's field.
And through all of that, Deondre just frowned and snapped his fingers. ("I just want a chance to test out my Soul Absorption card! Is that too much to ask!?") "End turn."
Alks tapped a button on his duel disk. "And now I activate my face-down down, Life-Absorbing Machine! As long as this continuous trap card remains on the field, I will gain half of the life points that I spend each turn." He drew and a golden light flowed over him as it recharged his life points.
Alks- 5000
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 2400
Deondre- 4000
The big man looked at the card he had drawn and smirked, sliding it into his disk. "I set this face-down and then I will attack Daniel's life points with my Lily! Go Lily!" The angel hefted her syringe and shot across the field to run Daniel through.
And through it all the half wolf-demon was smiling. Tapping a button on his duel disk, one of his face-down cards flipped. "Just like you did before, Negate Attack will preserve my life points for this turn." Another swirling vortex sprung up on the field and Lily's syringe slammed into it harmlessly.
Alks shrugged. "End turn."
Daniel cracked his knuckles and then looked at his deck. ("Now, let's get that damn super monster off the field.") "Draw!" He snapped the card off of his deck, and then slapped it onto his disk. "Get ready to lose your Lily and some life points too! I summon Magical Scientist (300/300) in attack mode!" A skinny, balding man in a white lab coat appeared on the field. "Now I'll trigger his special ability! Go Fusion Synthesis!"
The Magical Scientist pulled a little laptop computer out of his pocket and flipped it open. Tapping a few buttons, a pair of glass tanks large enough to hold a human being appeared on the field.
Alks rubbed at his chin. He'd never heard of this card. "So what's he doing?"
Daniel tapped his life point counter twice. "He's using my life points to fuel his research. And look..." The two tanks made a dinging noise and became filled with bubbles. When the bubbles cleared, the tanks had a pair of shadowed forms in it. "...his research has just yielded a couple of monsters."
"How can you just create monsters out of nowhere?"
"I can't." Daniel opened a slot on his duel disk and pulled out a small stack of cards. He rifled through them while he talked. "By paying 1000 life points, I may special summon one monster from my fusion deck that is a level six or lower creature. So I'll pay 2000 life points to summon a pair of monsters that are the answer to your Lily and her special ability." The glass tanks exploded when Daniel tossed down a pair of monster cards onto his disk.
Alks- 5000
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 400
Deondre- 4000
A pair of black-clad armored figures was now on Daniel field. The two creatures lifted their red and black shields up, and then drew their flaming swords. "These are my Lily-killers! Dark Flare Knight (2200/800) in attack mode!"
Daniel slid a card from his hand into his duel disk. "And to finish my main phase, I play the equipment magic card Black Pendant on my Magical Scientist, which raises his attack points by 500." An ornate black pendant appeared on the neck of his monster and it was surrounded by a glowing aura as its attack points rose. (800/300)
Alks got ready to press the button on his duel disk that would charge up Lily's attack points. "I'm ready for you to finish yourself off."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From off to the side-lines, CJ rubbed his chin as he watched the duel out on the field. ("What are you doing Daniel? Now if you attack, you'll wipe yourself out.")
"What's Daniel doing?" A golden-haired young man sat down next to CJ at the table, watching the duel intently. "Why is he so intent on wiping out that Injection Fairy Lily?"
CJ snapped his head over to look at the guy. "Oh, hey Ryu. What are you talking about? Those monsters can't hurt Alks' monster, it has this..."
Ryu shook his head. "Just watch and you'll see what I mean."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dark Flare Knight number one, attack Injection Fairy Lily with Dark Blade Slash!" The knight flew across the field and slammed right into Lily's needle, which blew him apart instantly.
Alks- 3000
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 400
Deondre- 4000
Alks smirked when he looked down at the life point counter. Then he realized that Daniel's life points didn't drop at all. "What's wrong with this thing? You should be dead now."
Daniel pointed at Alks' Lily again. "Dark Flare number two, attack!" The knight launched across the field, sword raised to strike.
Alks' tapped the charge button on his duel disk. Lily slammed her syringe right into the knight and blew it apart.
Alks- 1000
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 400
Deondre- 4000
Alks smacked his duel disk a couple of times, and then glared at Daniel. "Why won't you die!?"
"The special ability of Dark Flare Knight is just like the ability of the Wolf Demon Lord!" Someone called from off to the side.
Daniel smiled at the sound of Ryu's voice. "That's right. And guess what...Magical Scientist, attack Injection Fairy Lily!" The monster reached into a pocket of its lab coat and pulled out a little capsule. It threw the little object at Lily and smacked her right in the head with it. The red-headed angel stumbled around and then collapsed, exploding into digital dust.
Alks- 600
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 400
Deondre- 4000
Daniel slid a card into his duel disk. "Then I set this and end my turn."
Ladgie drew and slapped down a monster. "I set this monster in defense mode and end my turn."
Deondre drew and pointed at Alks. "Now it's time to finish you off before you gain anymore life points! D.D. Warrior Lady, attack his life points directly!" The woman raised her weapon and launched across the field, intent on tearing through the dark-suited man.
Ladgie tapped a button on his duel disk. "I throw out my face-down monster to defend my partner!" The card flipped up to reveal a blue-skinned and red-haired fairy that released a glowing blue aura. The Warrior Lady slid to a halt, looked up at the sky, and then walked back to Deondre's field. "This is Dreamsprite. (300/200) When she is attacked, I may redirect your monster to any other monster that my partner or I control. So I chose for your monster to try and attack our Satellite Cannon. I guess she isn't so hot on the idea."
Deondre frowned and looked over at Daniel. "That means that their monster is somewhere up above us. And to get to it, we're going to need a level eight or higher monster that can fly or has one really good ranged attack. Until then..." He placed a card on top of his disk. "I set one monster in defense mode and end my turn."
Alks drew and the Life-Absorbing Machine trap on his field activated, raising his life points by the half of the total amount he had paid last turn.
Alks- 2600
Ladgie- 4000
----------
Daniel- 400
Deondre- 4000
The man looked at the card he had drawn and then he slid it into his duel disk. "I set this face-down. And now, it's time to wipe you out." His hand pointed up into the air. "Satellite Cannon, attack the Magical Scientist now!!"
Daniel blinked upwards, and after a few seconds, he saw a small dot that was approaching his monster's position rapidly. As it got closer and closer, he understood that it was some kind of energy beam. "Oh crud..."
Alks snickered. "Exactly. Satellite Cannon gains 1000 attack points per turn, so you're Scientist is about to be hit by a 4000 point blast. That's the end of you."
The beam slammed down on top of Daniel's monster, and then the entire field went up a flash of light.
To be continued...

Author's Notes: Just to let you guys know, I will still have a new chapter of this story up by the evening
To gohan11- OO; Umm....when did Daniel have a girlfriend? This is the same guy who, when in close proximity to a cute girl, tends to attempt to pass out. (exceptions allowed if lives are on the line, etc.)
