Demon Duelist Legacy-World Tour Arc
Chapter 11: The Phantom Thief and his children
He looked at the card he had drawn. "I've got you now. I flip up my magic card, Grave Sacrifice! Now I remove your Fox Demon Mystic and my Masked Beast-Des Guardies from the graveyard to fulfill the sacrifice requirements needed for my ritual magic card, Card Reaper's Resurrection!" A black cloud filled the air around him. "You may have your plants, but they cannot defeat this beast! Nothing can!" The cloud withdrew, revealing a black-cloaked figure that looked exactly like Reaper. "Unholy Master of Death (4000/4000) in attack mode! Attack Blood Seeker!" The reaper lifted up a scythe that had appeared out of nowhere. It lunged across the field and slashed the red plant monster apart. "Your life points are gone!"
Janeam- 200
Reaper- 4000
Reaper couldn't believe it. "How are you still alive!? Why did my life points go down!?"
"Because the life force you attacked wasn't mine. It was your own. Or have you forgotten where my Blood Seeker got its life from?" The voice sounded smugger than ever. "Since it possessed the life of your monster, you lose the life points that I would have. Is there anything else you'd like to do to hurt yourself, or can I do my job as your opponent?"
Reaper cackled. "You're a fool. Soon you will be done in by your own creature. If you don't draw a magic card, then your Magic Venus will finish you off. Even if you do, it will still take your card for that turn. That means that you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. So I end my turn. Now let's see your end."
"I trust that fate has decreed this duel as mine, so be silent. Draw!" The mist surged up and around the hidden figure. "Now I sacrifice this magic card, Repayment for Losses!" The Magic Venus howled in delight as it absorbed the energy of the magic card. (4000/4000) "And thanks to the effect of Repayment of Losses, I get to draw one card despite the negation effect. I set the card I draw face-down. Now, Magic Venus, suicide yourself into the Unholy Master of Death!" The huge Venus Fly-Trap screeched and launched across the field.
"Master of Death, counter-attack!" The reaper launched across the field, colliding into the plant monster. There was an earth-shaking explosion, and then when the smoke from it cleared, the Master of Death emerged unharmed. "Perhaps you should have paid attention. My creature is strong, but its special ability it better. It cannot be killed in battle, so you just lost your monster for nothing."
"End...turn..." The voice didn't sound angry. It sounded curious.
Reaper drew. "This duel is nearing its end. You forgot to switch your Fox Soul Assassin to defense mode. Activate magic card, Demonic Hordes of Destruction! This will crush your Mists of Remembrance in one blast!" The ground at Reaper's feet exploded into a wave of black smoke that swept over the white mist. When it cleared, the mist was gone, and the mysterious voice was pinpointed.
Standing where Janeam had been shortly before, there was now a tall, white-skinned fox demon in humanoid form. He actually looked a lot like the Fox Soul Assassin, which stood on his field. The big difference between him and his monster was the clothing that they wore. Unlike his duel monster counterpart, he wore the same t-shirt and pants as Janeam. Brushing back his silver-white bangs, the fox demon smiled. "So you wish to duel me face to face. Fine."
Reaper pointed at the Fox Soul Assassin. "Crush his monster, now!" The Master of Death shot across the field and raised its scythe to cut down the fox demon Duel Monster.
The being that had taken Janeam's place had other plans though. "Reveal face-down trap card, Mists of Remembrance! This will stop all damage this turn and reactivate the effect of the original Mists of Remembrance field magic card." In a flash of white mist, he was gone again.
Reaper was getting tired of being thwarted by these tricks. "I set another monster in defense mode and end my turn."
"Draw! Now I'll take this duel and turn it around. Activate Whip of Roses! This will raise the attack points of my Fox Soul Assassin by 500 points!" (4100/2400) "Now attack his Master of Death!" The demon leapt across the field and slammed its whip across the face of the undead creature on Reaper's field.
Janeam- 200
Reaper- 3900
"And as per the effect of the Shadow Whip Legendary Weapon Card, I may draw two cards from my deck. I'll set one of those cards in defense mode, and then the other card will be set face-down. End turn."
Reaper drew and cackled in delight. "I'll wipe your monster out with this, Reaper's Hell Scythe! This will increase my monsters attack power by 1000 points." The Unholy Master of Death lifted its huge scythe, the weapon now wreathed in black fire. (5000/4000) "Attack the Fox Soul Assassin, now!" The demon howled and launched across the field, only to slam into a pulsing barrier of light.
"You've triggered my trap card, Attack Fusion Barrier. This will switch the attack points of our two monsters for one turn." The Fox Soul Assassin leapt out of the mist and slammed the butt of its whip across the face of the Master of Death, sending it flying back to its owner's field.
Janeam- 200
Reaper- 3000
"And as always, I get to draw two cards when my Shadow Whip wielding monster deals you damage."
Reaper growled and hefted his real scythe. "End turn."
"Draw. I set three cards face-down and end my turn."
Reaper drew. "I play the magic card, Burning Desire. Now you must activate every set card on your field at once. So let's see what you had in mind for me."
From within the mist, a quietly muttered curse could be heard. "Very well, I activate and use up my two set Blood Seed trap cards, and my Magic Venus trap cards. Since I cannot chain to your Burning Desire, I must watch as my only hope of winning is destroyed..." A laugh was heard from within the mist. "Oh wait, my last trap card is Seeds of Fury, which is a plant trap card you cannot stop with your magic card. Now I'll summon a monster to the field that you cannot interfere with. Awaken, Fury Ivy!" (0/0) A huge mass of blood-red vines exploded from the mist, creating a wall of foliage between Reaper and Janeam. "As long as this trap remains in play, you must attack it each turn with your monsters. So come and get it, fool!" The Master of Death roared and lunged into the mass of vines, hacking away rapidly. Everywhere that its flaming scythe touched, the material almost instantly reformed though. "Of course, the special ability of my Fury Ivy makes it impossible to kill. And since it gains 1000 attack points every time it is attacked, it makes for a very hard to kill weed, wouldn't you agree?" (1000/0)
Reaper knew he was in trouble now. Despite his monster's invincibility, that didn't mean it could withstand this kind of creature for long. "End turn."
"Draw!" That same cold and refined laughter echoed out of the mist. "Now let's end this, for I grow tired of your ugly face. Activate magic card, Nature's Revenge! This will raise the attack power of my Fury Ivy by 1000 points times the number of trap plants I remove from my graveyard. I am removing five monsters, which will increase the attack power of my Fury Ivy by 5000 points!" (6000/0) The mass of blood-red vines shuddered and increased in size, until it filled the entire alleyway. "Now I switch my Fury Ivy to attack mode. Attack his Master of Death!" The vines launched forwards and pummeled the reaper monster mercilessly, though as per its effect, it did not die.
Janeam- 200
Reaper- 2000
Reaper hissed in annoyance. "The moment I draw a card to get around your Fury Ivy, I'll kill you Fox Soul Assassin and wipe out your life points. Why are you wasting both of our time with meaningless attacks?"
"Who ever said that my attacks were meaningless? My plan is quite simple, actually. You see, I'm going to switch my Fox Soul Assassin to defense mode. Now, if you dare attack it, you'll be setting yourself for another loss of life points. End turn."
Reaper drew. ("He's correct. I'll take 1000 life points of damage from that damned plant if I leave my Unholy Master of Death in attack mode.") "So be it. I switch my monster from attack to defense mode. Then I set one monster in defense mode and end my turn."
"Draw! And now it's over. You actually should have attacked, because now I'm going to wipe you out. Remember when I set a monster in face-down defense mode?" As if on cue, the mist began to churn as something started to stir. "Well the creature I set down is done. Its name is Spore Pod (500/500) and its special ability is about to give you a lot of head pains. Now all of your monsters will be infected with its spores!" The mist was blown aside as a cloud of green matter floated onto Reaper's field. "It will infect all of your creatures, and not only will they be forced into attack mode, but they will immediately be attacked by all plant monsters on my field." The Fury Ivy rustled in agitation as it sensed the spores all over the body of the Unholy Master of Death. Giving off a strange noise that sounded like a howl mixed with crunching leaves, it unleashed a spray of vines that pummeled the undead monster again.
Janeam- 200
Reaper- 1000
The mist withdrew to reveal the fox demon who had been dueling for Janeam. "Now die. I play the magic card Thorn Storm. Using it, I may pay half of my life points to sacrifice one plant monster on my field. Then I'll deal its attack in damage to your life points. So good-bye. Fury Ivy, become my sacrifice!" The mass of vines exploded into a wave of needles that covered Reaper.
Janeam- 100
Reaper- 0
Reaper growled in anger. "Very well, you have won. I suppose that means I will leave now, though I will return. Tell me one thing though...who are you?"
The fox demon brushed back his silver-white hair and smiled calmly. "I am Esmin, the thief of the full moon. And we will meet again, Reaper. Now begone!"
The death demon spun around and leapt into the shadows, disappearing from sight.
Esmin removed his graveyard from his duel disk and shuffled it with his deck. Right before he put the deck back, he looked through the cards and found the one he was looking for. ("Fox Demon Mystic-Tibrus.") "You won't be needed anymore." The card shimmered and morphed, the picture changing into something else. ("Besides, now that I am alive again, there can only be one me.") He slid the card back into his deck and the duel disk collapsed back into its original position. "Now though, I have places to be."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rikuo yawned and looked out the window of the plane seat. ("Where are the rest of them? Daniel told them all that I had the card, so where are they?") He lay back in the comfy seat and started to slide into sleep.
"BOO!" Someone yelled right into his ear.
"HOLY HELL!" Rikuo launched out of his seat, slamming the top of his head against the overhead compartment. The force of the blow rebounded him back into his seat, and then whoever had yelled grabbed one of his ears and yelled right into it.
Jasmine smiled at the sight of Rikuo repeating his jumping up action, and once again slamming his head against the overhead compartment. ("But enough torturing the wolf. Now it's time to discuss business.") "Rikuo..."
Said ancient spirit growled and slid away from his seat to stand up in the aisle. "You again? Why don't you just go away and leave me alone? The Key of Incestros is mine, not yours."
"Actually, I don't care about that stupid card anymore. I have a bit of business that you might be interested in." The Kitsune smiled coyly and crossed her legs. "Now here's the deal...."
