Chapter 2
"Duel!"
Will LP: 4000/Mike LP: 4000
We each drew five cards. I drew Draining Shield, Sakuretsu Armor, Double Spell, Reflect Bounder, and Strike Ninja.
Hmm not a bad hand.
"Well, seeing as how you haven't dueled in a while, I think I'll let you go first." Mike said to me.
"If you say so." I said as I drew an extra card. I glanced at the card, Skilled White Magician, as I added it to my hand.
I looked over the cards that I had drawn, trying to think which ones would be best to start with.
Pretty good, these traps will definitely help and I can use Reflect Bounder to guard my life points until I draw something really powerful.
"Alright, I'll play two cards facedown and I'll summon Reflect Bounder [Machine 1700/1000] in attack mode!" I said.
A tall mechanical looking monster materialized on the duel platform. It was humanoid and wore a short red cape over its shoulders. It had mirrors on its shoulders, chest, waist, palms, and forehead.
"I end my turn." I said to Mike.

"Alright, now the fun begins!" Said Mike excitedly as he drew another card. "Well, I think to start with, I'll play Pot of Greed."
A large green and blue pot appeared on the field. It dissolved into something resembling a spirit and shot up then it shot back down into Mike's deck. Mike drew two new cards and added them to his hand.
"Now," Mike continued. "I'll play two cards face-down, and I'll summon Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer [Spellcaster 1800/700] in attack mode!"
The monster appeared on the field, it looked like a bald teenage boy, wearing what looked like monks robes, also in its right hand it was holding a chain of prayer beads, and to top it all off the left half of its face was covered in a demonic looking mask.
"Now, Kycoo, destroy his Reflect Bounder!" Mike called out to his monster.
Kycoo started muttering an incantation under his breath; a surge of what looked like electricity jumped out of Kycoos beads and hit my Reflect Bounder. As Reflect Bounder disintegrated, the attack bounced back and zapped Mike. Mikes Life Points suddenly dropped 1800 points, and I took 100 damage from Kycoos attack.
"Hey, what the hell?! I attacked you how come I took Life Point Damage?" Mike asked slightly hysterical.
"Well that's Reflect Bounders special effect. When you attack it, it inflicts damage to your Life Points equal to your attacking monsters attack points." I said calmly.
"Whatever, I end my turn." He said gruffly.
Will LP: 3900/Mike LP: 2200
All right, my turn lets see what we get.
I drew a card off the top of my deck, glanced at it, and didn't even bother to add it to my hand.
"I activate Raigeki, to destroy all monsters on your side of the field!" I said
An image of the card itself appeared on the field and a bolt of lightning shot out of it and struck Mikes entire monster zone. His Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer shattered into pieces and then disintegrated into nothingness.
"Now I'll summon the Skilled White Magician [Spellcaster 1700/1900], and I'll have it attack your Life Points directly!" I said.
My monster, which looked like a large man in a white cloak, with white chest and shoulder pads, and holding a white staff with a large green gem at the end; appeared on the field. He aimed his staff at Mike and fired off a blast of white magical energy.
"Not so fast!" Mike yelled out. "I'll activate my face down card Negate Attack! It stops the attack of one of your monsters and instantly ends your battle phase!"
A purplish vortex appeared and swallowed up the Skilled White Magicians attack.
"Rrrr, fine, I'll end my turn." I said.
Will LP: 3900/Mike LP: 2200
I watched as Mike drew a card from the top of his deck, he looked at it for a moment, and then played it on his Magic and trap card zone.
"I play Change of Heart, to take control of your Skilled White Magician! I'll also summon X-Head Cannon [Machine 1800/1500], and I'll attack with both of them!"
His X-Head Cannon, which looked like a heavily armored humanoid robot from the waist up, with giant cannons on its shoulders, and with nothing more than a large metallic orb beneath the waist appeared on the field. My Skilled White Magician had gone over to his side of the field; both monsters aimed at me and launched their energy blasts.
"Wait! I activate Sakuretsu Armor on your X-Head Cannon!" I yelled out over the roar of the two monsters attacks.
A large, very spiky looking, demon appeared beside X-Head Cannon and grabbed it around the shoulders, then both of them disappeared in a whirl of smoke. X-Head Cannons attack dissipated right before striking me.
"I'll also activate Draining Shield on my Skilled White Magician!"
A warrior-like monster holding a large mechanical-looking shield appeared on the field between me and Skilled White Magicians attack. The attack struck the shield and was absorbed into its center. My Life Points suddenly jumped up by 1700 points!
"Okay, now what the hell just happened?" Mike asked.
"Well, my Sakuretsu Armor destroys one attacking monster. And my Draining Shield negates the attack of one monster and raises my Life Points by that monsters attack points." I stated. "So, is it my turn yet?"
"Yea, sure, why not. I end my turn." He replied dully.
Skilled White Magician returned to my side of the field.

I drew my card, Scapegoat, and picked a card out of my hand.
"I'll summon Strike Ninja [Warrior 1700/1200]!" I said with a grin.
A humanoid monster appeared, its entire body was covered in an all black skin-tight outfit. It had yellow armor over its forearms, knees, and lower legs; it had a yellow mask that had one point sticking out of either side and another pointing straight up, it was also wearing a large red scarf, finally it was holding a broad dagger in each hand.
Endgame.
"Now, Strike Ninja, Skilled White Magician; Attack!" I yelled out.
Skilled White Magician took aim and blasted Mike, while Strike Ninja darted forward with amazing speed and slashed Him across the body with its daggers. In all they inflicted 3400 damage to his Life Points, more than enough to finish him off.
