Yu-Gi-Oh: Team Zero Duelists

Disclaimer-Wow this gets old fast. Well same old same old

Chapter 10: Clash from the prehistoric past

The remaining duelists gathered in the center of the rows of cages. The president, Mr.Yoshiharu, stood on a platform that they had brought in with in a matter of minutes. He no longer had his microphone, there weren't enough people left to need it. He started to speak.

"Fellow duelists, there are officially 16 duelist left. We need four duelists for tomorrow's finals. So you are assign certain duelists for this round, but once you finish, grab any duelist that is not dueling and duel them. When four are left, tomorrow's finals will determine this years team. So here are the lists, Starting duel ring A and moving around to duel cage P. First in A: Reku Yamashita and Samu Murakimi. next..."

"Mr. Murakimi!" The shock, he didn't expect to reduel his teacher this soon. He quickly moved off to duel ring A without saying anything to his friends. He entered the duel cage and moved to the far end when Mr. Murakimi walked into the cage.

"Hey, looks like I get my rematch."

"Yes, but things won't be any different." Reku's duel disk locked into place.

"Sorry but things will be very different." Samu's duel disk locked into place also.

"So Mr. Murakimi, shall we start?"

"Please call me Samu. You don't need to be that formal outside school."

Both draw five cards to start with. Reku drew his sixth. "I start with the beast I beat you with last time, Warrior of the White Flame (2000/0)." The warrior appeared on the field in a battle stance. The essence of white fire licked off his sword "And this face down, go ahead."

"Right" Samu nodded and drew. "Nothing will be the same as last time, This I will guaranteed you."

"But, doesn't history repeat itself?" Reku shrugged.

"Not in this case, I play Giant Rex (2000/1200) in attack mode and two cards face down, make a move."

Reku drew his card. Warrior of white flame moaned as power was stripped from him (1500/500).

"Activate trap" Samu's voice came from across the field. "Will to Survive! This prevents you from making a tribute of any kind for this turn."

"Damn, okay then." Reku shrugged, "I switch my.."

"Nope, other face down card. Primal Fight, this trap will prevent position changes on this turn."

"Damn,..again" "Fine I play my down card, Reload!" A card with a picture of a ancient Egyptian gun appeared. "I shuffle my hand back into my deck and draw five cards to replace the ones shuffled back in." He drew five new cards after shuffling his deck. "Now two cards face down and end my turn."

Samu drew and stated smiling at the card he drew. He slipped it into his duel disk. "Time for an old favorite Meteor From Black Space. Remember it?"

"How could I forget?" The card appeared on the field, shimmered as disappeared with Reku's face down cards.

"Just like last time, well Giant Rex attack Warrior of White Flame!" The giant dinosaur raced across the field and bit down on the warrior who stood defenceless

"And I play this to end my turn" A face down card appeared behind the Giant Rex.

Reku drew his next card. "I'll place one monster in defense and one card face down, that's my turn."

Samu drew, glancing at the card he had drawn he smiled, all he needed was to play it. "I play Polymerization which fuses my two cards in my hand. Two headed King Rex (1600/1200) and the Blast Juggler (800/900) to summon Cyber Saurus (1800/1400)." A large wrinkly dinosaur with a Gattling gun on it's left arm appeared on the field. "Gattling Arm, down card!" The dinosaur creature attacked the face down monster which turned up to be The Thing in the Crater (1000/1200).

"And with it being destroyed I may summon a Pyro monster, remember?"

Samu thought back to their first duel:

/flashback/

"But Next, Black Tyranno, attack the Thing in the Crater" With one huge chomp from the Tyranno's' jaw, the thing in the crater was completely gone leaving Reku's field wide open until a rock beast appeared out of nowhere. "Wait, what is that?" Mr. Murakimi stepped back at the sight of the new monster.

"That's my Burning Beast (1500/1000), see when thing in the crater is destroyed I may summon a Pyro monster from my hand to the field to take it's place."/

/end flashback/

"Here comes Twin Headed Fire Dragon (2200/1700)!" The blue and red twin headed dragon appeared on Reku's field. It roared then glared down at the two dinosaurs that opposed it.

"Nuts, well it's better then the burning beast from the first time. Go."

"Wrong, all my creature are special and Twin Headed Fire Dragon just happened to be the only pyro monster in my hand, but enough talk." Reku drew and pointed to the dinosaur. "Attack the Cyber Saurus now, twin fire streams!" the dragon shot out two rays of fire. They crossed on the body of the Cyber Saurus destroying it.

"To bad you didn't count on my face down card, Reveal Call of the haunted. This revives my Cyber Saurus.

Samu drew. "I activate Card of Sanctity, this allows us both to draw cards until we each hold six cards." Samu drew six new cards while Reku drew only four. "Now I sacrifice my two monsters on the field to summon, Jurassic Beast Gigantic Rex (2850/2050)!" A large brown and yellow color splashed Tyrannosaurus-Rex appeared on the field. It roared, showing it's massive set of razor sharp teeth.

"So, I activate my face down trap, Fire Wall" A wall of flames erupted from the center of the field between the two duelists.

"This trap will make all attacks from non-fire and non-water monsters useless for one turn."

"Great, go."

Reku drew a new card. "I shift my Twin Headed Fire Dragon to defense mode and play Battle Footballer in defense also (1000/2100). Placing two cards face down, end turn."

Samu draws, after slipping the card he drew into his hand he grabbed another card right next to the card he just put in his hand. "I activate my second Meteor from Black Space!" Once again, Reku's face down cards shimmered disappeared.

Jurassic Beast Gigantic Rex destroy Twin headed Fire Dragon! Go, Gigantic Chomp!" The dinosaur moved and swallowed whole the twin headed dragon. "And I end my turn."

Reku drew and grimaced. "Damn..once again. He has back me into a corner and he knows it." He looked at the cards in his hand. "Dinosaur monsters focus on power, If I can disrupt that power I take the upper hand." Smiling slightly, "I play Hammer Shot, it destroys the monster on you field with the highest attack. Say goodbye to your Gigantic Rex!"

"NO!" Samu's yells were drowned out by the sound of a giant hammer hitting, and crushing a dinosaur.

"Now I set one monster in defense, end turn."

Samu drew his card. "Reku," Samu looked over at the boy.

"Yes Mr. Murakimi..I mean Samu?"

"Look at this, You are here in the final 16 duelists. And you are playing better then I have ever seen out of you." Reku smiled at the compliment. "Now though, if you want to make it to the finals, you are going to have to work for it, no more pussy footing around. Got it?"

"Yes sir, lets see what cha got!""Right" Samu nodded. "I play Two Headed King Rex (1600/1200) in attack mode." The purple double headed dinosaur appeared and roared. Samu then grabbed two cards out of his hand and slid them into the duel disk. "I'll activate duel equipment magic cards. Raise Body Heat, which raises Two Headed King Rex's attack defense by 300 points (1900/1500). Second I play Fairy Meteor Crush, This will allow me to deal damage threw defense."

"Crap." Reku bit his lower lip but remained his calm stature.

"Two Headed King Rex, destroy face down monster!" The Dinosaur roared stomped down on the card. A little girl with a small dagger appeared and broke to pieces. "What was that?""That was Lady Assailant of Flames (1500/1000). When she is destroyed I may remove the top three cards of my deck from the game to inflict 800 damage to you." Removing the top three cards of his deck, Reku slipped them into the out-of-play slot on his duel disk.

"Go, Reku. Show me what you got." Samu nodded to Reku and gave a warm, but competitive smile.

"Right." Nodding Reku place his hand on his deck. "There is one card I have been searching for, if I can draw it I can end this duel in this turn, let me draw it now. " Reku drew his card slowly. Holding the card away so no one could see it, Reku said a prayer to himself "Please, oh god please."

Guess what, I ended the chapter right there. I know, I know! But get over it, Reku and I won't let you down.

And once again to John, my one and only fan. Thanks I have done well to cover my steps but at the same time left some open ended characters(hint right there).
