"Hey Fader!"
Fader turned around to meet the voice that had just called his name just in time to see Beezy runnin towards him. "what's the good word kid?" he asked.
"I just had to thank you for what you did for me yesterday, and for the Buster Blader. I've been kicking butt. I've already got three locator cards."
"I'm just glad I could help. Plus I was able to get two locator cards and Potemkin's Change of Heart out of it myself so I'm happy."
"Do you know who you're going to duel first today?" asked Beezy.
"I never do," Fader replied. "I just so of go wherever fate and my deck lead me."
Beezy then stopped short and Fader walked on a few more steps before he realized that his teeneged companion wasn't keeping up with him anymore. He turned back to Beezy, "What's wrong?"
Beezy's glaze didn't even move to meet Fader's eye, he just kept staring forward. "You may not know who you are dueling next," he said and then pointed to behind Fader's head. "But someone knows that they are going to be dueling you."
Fader turned to see what Beezy was talking about and saw a sign in black spray paint that said, "Still a hero Fader? Come and see."
"Well now there's something you don't see everyday," he said. "But I guess it would be rude to turn down such a thoughtful invitation."
"Mind if I join you?" asked Beezy. "Should be entertaining. Or at least educational."
Fader stared walking towards the building and urged Beezy onwards with a wave of his arm, "Why not?"
The two of them started towards the building, and along the way they ran into a grifter working a table on the sidewalk. "Test your luck there gentleman?" she asked. She started mixing around the three cards on the table."Find the monster and you win, find the trap and you lose."
"Maybe later," said Fader without looking. "We're in a hurry."
"Have it your way," replied the grifter. "You'll be gambling for more than fun soon enough Fader."
Fader stopped and turned around. "How did you know my..." he started to say, but it was too late. The grifter was gone.
Beezy grabbed Fader's arm and motioned back towards their destination. "Forget them, let's just go."
Fader and Beezy entered the building and were greated with a voice from nowhere. "Well now if this isn't a grand case of déja vu, said the voice. "It was only a few hours ago that Serena Kaiba entered through those very doors. It's a shame she didn't get to leave though."
"What did you do to her?" demanded Fader.
"Always the hero, eh Fader? Very noble of you; stupid, but noble none-the- less. I have to admire that quality."
"Just tell me where she is."
"Why don't you look up?" asked the voice.
Fader and Beezy both looked above them and gasped. Hanging from the ceiling was Serena Kaiba. She was obviously unconcious, and was bound in rope from neck to foot.
"She looks almost peaceful, doesn't she?" the voice continued.
"Let her down!" shouted Fader.
"I don't think so. At least not until you win our little challenge. If you win, Serena goes free. If you lose you will hand over your piece of the Millenium Puzzle."
"How did you know about that?" questioned Fader.
"It doesn't matter. Suffice it to say, we know more about you then you want us to know."
"Alright," said Fader through gritted teeth. "What is this challenge?"
"A simple duel, though except for using Duel Disks, the battle will be fought on a classic style Dueling Arena that was specially designed just for this match."
Beezy looked around confused. "What is going on?" He turned to Fader," Do you know what's happening here? And what did that voice say about you having a piece of the Millenium Puzzle?"
"Ah young Beezy, Fader is quite lucky that you are here."
"Why is that?" asked Beezy.
"Because our Mr. Hero is going to need a partner for this tag team duel. Now if you gentleman would step onto the platforms we can start this show." Spotlights turned on and illuminated the circular dueling arena. Fader and Beezy steeped up onto their designated platforms and rose up to examine the feild. It was a circular arena as opposed to the rectangular ones from days gone by and was split into four parts.
Fader and Beezy looked across at the vacant spaces where thier opponent's should have been. Just as Fadeer was going to complain about the lack of opponent's, two more lights turned on revealing their adversaries.
"Welcome Fader and Beezy to your last battlefield," said the first.
The second then chimed in, "I am Jason and that is my brother Josh. We are the Gamble Brothers and we will be your opponents. This will be a standard tag team duel, alternating back and forth. First with my brother, then Fader, then me and ending with young Beezy. Then the fun will really start."
"What is that supposed to mean?" asked Fader.
"Don't you worry about that just yet Mr. Hero," said Jason. "You should be worrying about my first move. I lay one card face down and then play Ameba (300/350) in attack mode."
Fader examined his hand and was amazed. He had already drawn his Dark Magician card. Now all he needed were two monsters on the field to tribute in order to summon it. Something was bothering Fader though. Jason had set a very weak monster on the field in attack mode, any one of the monsters that Fader had in his hand could destroy it easily. "I'll lay one card face down. And then play the Gemini Elf (1900/900) in attack mode!"
"Activate Trap Hole!" shouted Jason. And just as the twin elves appeared on the field and gaping hole appeared beneath them and sucked them straight down and into the graveyard.
"No my elf!" Fader shouted in protest. "Alright, theres nothing I can do about it. I end my turn."
Josh drew his card. "I lay two cards face down. And then I play the Griggle (350/300) in attack mode. And I'll end my turn."
Fader looked over at Beezy who was studying the cards in his hand and examining the field. He knows something is wrong too thought Fader.
"I play Protector of the West (1600/1200) in attack mode. And I'll use it to attack Josh's Griggle!"
"Not this turn you won't kid," said Josh. "Activate Waboku, which will halt your attack."
"Fine," said Beezy. "It's your turn Jason."
But Jason held up his hand. "Not just yet it isn't. We told you that once all of our turns were completed that the fun would really begin. Activate Arena Roulette!"
Fader and Beezy looked at each other in confusion, but just then the entire arena began to spin clockwise, faster and faster; taking each players cards along for the ride.
"What is going on?" demanded Fader.
"After all the turns are completed the arena will spin taking with it any magic, trap or monster cards I player might have in play. Then it will be up to luck to see whether or not the cards you get will be good cards, or bad," explained Josh as the table began to slow dfown and eventually come to a stop. "And it seems that luck was once again on the side of the Gamble Brothers bcause the two of you got the cards from our side of the field and we got the cards from yours!"
"And that's not all," added Jason. "Since our monsters switched to your control their special abilities have been activated."
"Special Abilites?" Beezy and Fader asked simultaneously.
"Well Beezy since you gained control of my Ameba you lose 2000 Life Points."
"And I gain 3000 since Fader now controls my Griggle," added Josh.
Fader: 4000, Beezy: 2000, Jason: 4000, Josh: 7000.
"Now Beezy," continued Jason. "You seemed quite determined to see your Protector of the West destroy the poor Griggle I will be more than happy to oblige you and take a chunk of Fader's Life Points with it at the same time. Protector of the West attack!"
"Not so fast Jason," said Fader. "Did you forget about your own trap card?"
"My trap?" asked Jason, only to realize a split second later what Fader was talking about. "No!"
"Oh yes. Not only did we gain control of your monsters but I also gained control of your...Torture Wheel! Which I will now attach to your Protector of the West, which will prevent it from attacking of changing its position."
"Very nice Fader," complimented Jason. "You are as good as they say. But I knew you would activate that trap I just wanted it out of the way for when I summon a monster of real power. It's your turn."
"Yes it is. And you lose 500 Life Points thanks to your Toture Wheel's secondary effect."
Fader: 4000, Beezy: 2000, Jason: 3500, Josh: 7000.
"Next," Fader continued. "I'll lay one card face down. Then I play the magic card, Cost Down. I'll discard one card from my hand to lower the level of one of my in hand monsters by two. And I'll choose the Dark Magician (2500/2100). Now his level is low enough that I only have to offer one monster on the field as a tribute, and I offer your Griggle, Josh. And since you have no monsters on the field I will attack your Life Points directly with a Dark Magic Attack!"
Fader: 4000, Beezy: 2000, Jason: 3500, Josh: 4500.
"I'll get you back for that Fader," vowed Josh. "I'll start by drawing a card."
"And I will do the same," added Fader.
"What?" protested Josh. "It's my turn. You can't draw."
"I can," corrected Fader. "Thanks to my monster that I discard last turn, Angel of Balancing Scales (800/900). While this monster is in my discard pile each time my opponent, or opponent's in this case, draw a card, I do the same."
"Fine," said Josh, beat. "Next I play two cards face down. Then I'll play Rotting Legion (1000/1500) in attack mode. And thanks to my monster I get to special summon a Zombie Tiger (1300/1600) from my hand to join him." Josh started to laugh. "Your Magicain may be strong Fader, but it can only watch as I end this game by destroying Beezy's weak Ameba card and robbing him of the rest of his Life Points!"
The Zombie Tiger dashed forward to attack the defenseless Ameba but when it came within a few feet of its target a vicious explosion rocked the arena. When the smoke cleared the Zombie Tiger was gone.
"What happened to my monster?" shouted Josh.
"It tripped my Claymore Mine," replied Fader, holding up his trap card. "You really should be more careful. My trap destroyed the attacking monster wiht the highest power, your Zombie Tiger."
"Curse you!" Josh said with contempt. "But at least I still have my Rotting Legion and it will attack Beezy's Ameba taking a chunk of Beezy's Life Points with it.
Fader: 4000, Beezy: 1300, Jason: 3500, Josh: 4500.
"Your partner's Life Points are dropping fast Fader and there's nothing you can do about it," taunted Josh with a laugh.
"I don't need to help him," said Fader calmly. "The two of you underestimate him because of his age, and that will be your downfall."
"You have too much confidence in your partner," warned Jason.
"You haven't seen anything yet," said Beezy, drawing his card. "Fader and I have confidence in each other. Can the two of you say the same?"
Jason scoffed at Beezy's question, "Your faith and friendship do nothing for you. Just look, your Life Points are lower than ours are."
"Not for long," Beezy answered. "I play Dian Keto the Cure, raising my Life Points by 1000!"
Fader: 4000, Beezy: 2300, Jason: 3500, Josh: 4500.
"Next, I'll play Guardian of the South (1700/1000) in attack mode. And I'll attack Josh's Rotting Legion!"
"You fell for my trap boy," said Josh. "I activate both of my face down cards; Graceful Dice and Skull Dice!"
"Dice cards?" asked Beezy.
"Yes," replied Josh. "With two simple rolls of the dice I will raise the attack power of my Rotting Legion and lower the attack power of your Guardian of the South. Now go Graceful Dice, raise my monster's attack!" The small angel floated forward and dropped its die to the ground. The die bobbled on the ground a few times before it came to a rest on hte number five. "Excellent! My rotting Legion's attack power has grown to 1500! Now all that remains is for Skull Dice to lower your monster's attack." The other die began to roll around on the field. "As soon as the Skull Dice stops rolling your monster will be weak enough for me to destroy."
"Not so fast Josh," said Beezy.
"What?"
"Look at your die roll Josh," Beezy replied pointing to the field.
Josh looked down at the otehr die that had just stopped rolling, and at the number on hte face of the die; the number one. "No!" protested Josh.
"Your dice card did lower my attack Josh,but not by enough to destroy it. My Guardian of the South is still more powerful than your Rotting Legion. Your monster is beaten."
Fader: 4000, Beezy: 2300, Jason: 3500, Josh: 4400.
Josh and Jason both applauded. Beezy and Fader looked at each other in confusion. "Fantastic," said Jason. " I was afraid that this battle was going to too easy. I am pleased to see that you live up to your reputation Fader, and you too young Beezy. But the duelists that you have faced before today were nothing compared to what's in store for you from now on. It's time to activate the Arena Roulette once more! Let's see how your luck holds up."
The arena began to spin once more and all four duelists held their breaths. The arean then began to slow itself down and the new card positions asserted themselves.
Josh laughed as he looked at Fader's cards. "It seems your Dark Magicain has abandoned you."
"Not completely," interrupted Beezy. "He just found a new home." Beezy pointed to the field directly in front of him, and to Fader's Dark Magician who was in an attack position protecting Beezy.
Fader now had in front of him the Protector of the West, still bound by the Torture Wheel. Jason's field was empty since all of Josh's cards had been destroyed, and Josh had the Guardian of the South on his field.
"Your luck seems to be running out now Jason," said Fader.
"Not for long," retorted Jason. "I will lay one monster in defense mode and then lay one other card from my hand face down. I'll end my turn."
Fader drew his card. What ever Jason was planning it would have to be something that would happen this turn or there was a risk of someone else controlling his cards. Which was exactly what Fader planned on doing right then.
"I play the magic card, Change of Heart to gain control of your face down monster."
"And I will activate the trap card Magic Jammer, which negates your Change of Heart when I discard a card from my hand. I knew you would have some trick up your sleeve so I was ready for you."
"Hmmm," was all Fader said as he lay one monster in defense mode and signaled the end of his turn.
"The mighty hero Fader speechless?" remarked Josh with a laugh. "What's the matter Fader? No super combos you can make? I suppose that you finally realized that you won't walk away from this battle the victor. Serena is doomed if she has to rely on you to save her life."
"Defense doesn't mean defeat Josh," Fader said with strength in his voice. "This match is far from over."
Fader turned around to meet the voice that had just called his name just in time to see Beezy runnin towards him. "what's the good word kid?" he asked.
"I just had to thank you for what you did for me yesterday, and for the Buster Blader. I've been kicking butt. I've already got three locator cards."
