Chapter 12: End the day

Reku drew, "First I activate my trap, Bubble of Blocking!" Reku slid a card from his hand to the graveyard. "I choose to protect my Woodborg Inpachi from all dark monsters. Oh yea, I switch him to defense mode, and end my turn." Reku grimaced. "I am running out of options fast, I need a plan"

"Nothing to summon for either of us," Ayumi remarked as she reached for her deck. "This card face down and I end my turn." A card materialized on the magic/trap field. Both player shook their heads.

"Yes!" he yelled once he drew. Reku's sudden emotion startled Ayumi. "I play the magic card Hammer Shot." A giant wooden hammer appeared over he Summon Skull. "This can eliminate you monster with the highest attack, so say goodbye."

"Nope, I activate the card placed, Inter Dimensional Matter Transporter. It can take Summoned Skull out of play for a turn." The summoned skull disappeared in a vortex of rainbowed colored light.

"Well it will activate on the monster on your field with the highest attack, so it takes your Helping Robo for combat." The hammer moved slightly over then came down on the robot crushing it. "End turn." Neither player could summon anything, but summoned Skull returned to the field.

Ayumi drew, "Place two cards face down, that's my turn."

Reku drew. "This might help, lets see." "I play this monster in defense and that's my turn."

Ayumi Drew. "Now I think I will take out some deck, okay?"

"Do I really get a choice in this?"

"No, not really." She did her cute little girl giggle. "I play Disturbance Strategy, forcing you to shuffle your hand into your deck and draw until you replenish the cards that you once held". Reku shuffled the two cards he was holding into his deck. He drew cards and fanned them out "Now I play Null and Void." The trap flipped up, glowing with a purple reddish aura. "This forces you to discard all that you just drew."

"Damn, I hate that combo. Come on fall into my trap." Reku threw his hand to his graveyard and looked back at his opponent.

"Okay, Summoned Skull, Lightning strike the down monster." More lightning came out of the horns on summoned skulls head, burning the down card to smithereens.

"You flipped my Cyber Jar!" A mechanical Jar appeared on the field. The green eye glowed brightly then the monster blew apart taking all monsters on the field with it.

"Fine." Ayumi drew her top five cards, fanned them out and grabbed two. "I summon a Mystic Tomato (1400/1100) and a face down monster".

"My turn." Reku pick up the top five cards and fanned them out. "Reflect Bounder (1700/1000) and Warrior of the White Flame (2000/0). That's it." A humanoid machine appeared with mirrors all over it's body appeared next to a muscled, armored warrior with white flames licking off its sword.

"I'm done". Ayumi smiled at Reku.

"Good." Reku Drew (1500/500). Fanning out his hand, he considered his options. He was starting to turn the game around.

"To start I play my down magic card. Trap for the Spy, it allows me to destroy all face down monsters on the field. Now that is taken care of Warrior of the White Flame, Fire Slash the Tomato!" The warrior cut through the tomato but Ayumi smiled at her loss. A small wrinkly humanoid figure appeared on the field in it's place. It had green pants and black disks all over it's body.

"Newdoria (1200/800) is a good replacement for my tomato."

"I place one card face down. Go."

Drawing, Ayumi pointed. "Newdoria attack the Swordsman!"

"No! Reveal Fire Wall! It stops all attacks from monsters that don't have a fire or water attribute." The Newdoria crashed into the wall and slid back to Ayumi's field.

"Fine, on card face down, go" The magic/trap card appeared on the field.

Reku drew his next card (1000/1000). "Yes, now I attack your Newdoria, with Reflect Bounder" The mirrored monster shot out rays of lights from its mirrors. They pierced Newdoria, breaking it to bits. Instantly the mirrored monster broke to bits with it.

"Now Warrior, direct attack" The warrior slashed down on the damsel but she press a button on the duel disk.

"Activate Monster Steel Tunnel" the card Reku was very familiar with flipped up. It spat out a Large red shield with the eye of Ra on it "It brings my Millennium Shield (0/3000) to the field."

"True, now I sacrifice my Warrior to summon my mechanical master, Jinzo (2400/1500)!" The green machine human figure appeared on the field. "Your move".

Biting her lower lip Ayumi drew. "I switch Millennium Shield to defense and end my turn."

"Good" Reku exclaimed as he drew. "First activate Molten Destruction!" he slid a card into the field magic slot. A giant volcano erupted in the center of the field. "Now for Scroll of Bewitchment on Jinzo turning him to a fire monster". Sliding another card into his disk. He then put the last two cards on the field, "First Salamandra, equipping it to Jinzo raises it attack by another 700 (3600/1100). Finally Robotic Knight (2100/1400) in attack mode". A robot that appeared to be in a knight outfit appeared next to Jinzo.

With a sigh Ayumi put her hand on her duel disk "Don't waste the breath, I have lost. I forfeit."

The judge raised his hand and said aloud. "Reku Yamashita has advanced to the final four." A bunch of clapping erupted from around the cage. Looking around, he realized they were the last ones dueling. Everyone else was watching them, they hadn't made a sound and neither duelist had realized they were there.

After the judge sliced the card, Reku emerged from the cage to his awaiting friends.

"Dude, you did it!" Ronin grabbed Reku around the neck, putting him into a headlock.

"Yea," He spat out with excitement in his voice.

"I believed in you." Akina said with her normal warm smile on her face.

"The final four have been decided on." Mr.Yoshiharu stood in front of the remaining crowd. "The duels for tomorrow will consist of the following duelists: Ronin Endo, Yukio Nakajima, Akina Oshiro, and Reku Yamashita. We will see you four here tomorrow at 10 in the morning, now go and get some rest.

This time Reku couldn't hold it in. Once he got outside the dome, he jumped in the air and yelled into the sky. He never thought he get to this point, at least one more win, and he would be in the official team.

Got to be corny every now and again. I mean, who didn't know that those four wouldn't make it to the final. They are just that good.

And lets see:

Wolfgeneral: I always appreciate reviews from you. And I think this is what you are asking for.

John: Hey actually if you have a character and deck you want to send to me I will put them into the world tournament.
