Yu-Gi-Oh: Team Zero Duelists

Disclaimer-Don't own YGO and I guess I don't own Joe, but I own the made up cards he uses.

Chapter 26: Try your best. Warrior and Flame Pt. 2

Joe smiled and drew a card. "Remember your last play Reku? You played card of Sanctity."

"Yea." Reku nodded blindly at Joe.

"It allowed me to pull this." Sliding a card into his duel disk it appeared on the field. "I play Polymerization. This will fuse my Buster Blader (2600/2300) and my Dark Magician (2500/2100) to form the Dark Paladin (2900/2400)." The dark looking monster appeared on the field. It was a perfect fusion of the Dark Magician and the Buster Blader.

"2900? That isn't enough to take down my baseball kid. What is your plan?" Reku watched as Joe pulled two cards out of his hand.

"I play two cards, both Type Books." Joe flipped them around so Reku could see.

"What does Type Book do?" Reku watched as Joe slid the cards into his duel disk.

"Well Type Book equips to a monster. Then I select one type and that monster becomes that type. One book I will equip to my Dark Paladin and change him to a warrior. Now the magic of A. Forces powers him up (3100/2400). The other Type book I will equip to your Twin Headed Fire Dragon. I will change him to the type that fits his name. He is now a dragon!"

"So, what is your plan for doing that?" Reku asked still completely clueless.

"Do you know what Buster Blader does?" Ronin called from the sidelines. Reku looked down startled at his friend.

"Yea, it gains 500 attack points for every dragon monster on your opponents field and graveyard." Reku replied down to his friend.

"Yep." Joe said bringing Reku's concentration back to him. "Well Dark Paladin has the same ability but it is augmented to both sides of the field. And you have a dragon so...(3600/2400). Dark Paladin attack the baseball kid, Dragon Slash!"

In one fail swoop the swordsman came down on the little baseball player cutting him in two. A groan was heard at the little boy faded away.

"Next I will play the field magic card, Bought of True Warriors! All monsters must stay in the position of the higher point total. As in if your monster has more attack points then defense points it must stay in attack mode. If more defense then in defense mode. If they are equal than this doesn't apply. Well Reku, you have been a good opponent but I think you are done now so why don't you go or surrender."

"I think I will play until the end of my life points." Reku snorted back. "Draw!" Snapping the card from his deck Reku played it. "I play the monster card Gren Maju Da Eiza (?). He gains 400 for every card removed from play, I have three so he has 1200 attack points (1200/1200). Next I play Soul Release! I will remove from play your cards so say goodbye to your Dark Magician, Buster Blader, Pass the Power, Mataza the Zapper, and the Hunter with 7 Weapons." Joe pulled those said cards out of his graveyard and slipped them into his removed from play slot. Now my beast is stronger (3200/3200)."

"But not strong enough." Joe shrugged, "What will you do know?"

"I will play my magic card, Salamandra!"

Grinning Joe held up the last card in his hand. He then slid it into his graveyard. "By discarding one card I may negate the activation of one magic card." Reku groaned as he slid the Salamandra into his graveyard. Now they were both out of a hand.

"Go." Reku spit out, bowing his head in defeat. This guy was much better then him.

"Fine." After he drew Joe snapped his fingers and pointed to the large red snake creature. "Attack that monster now!" The Paladin had no problem cutting though the monster, like a hot knife through butter.

"I have more life points then him but he is dominating the field. I don't know what to do..." Reku's thought trailed off as he began to draw.

Reku sluggishly slid the card he drew into his magic/trap zone and nodded for Joe to go.

Joe drew a card. "All right, Now I will attack one of your Spirits of Flames, Go Dragon Slash!" The Paladin wielded back then jumped forward to slash down on the beast.

"Wrong,"

"Huh?" Joe looked at the bowed Reku, that is when he noticed that Reku was...smiling.

"You hit my trap Rifter Hole! This lets me negate one attack and use that energy to let us both draw 3 cards!"

Reku and Joe drew three cards. Joe glanced at the card but decided against playing any. "Go Reku, try and stop me again."

Reku drew his next card. "I will play one card face down and end my turn." The magic/trap appeared face down behind Reku's wall of creatures.

Joe drew his card. "You know trying to stop me like that is pretty pathetic. I summon Warrior Dai Grepher (1700/1600) Who now powers up the A. Forces. (Dark Paladin 3800/2400)(Warrior Dai Grepher 2100/1600)." The said warrior appeared next to the magical swordsman.

"Sorry but I activate my trap, Begin to Restart!"

"What does that do?" Joe looked at the card as it faded away.

"Nothing right now, please continue your turn."

"Right, I will attack your Spirit of Flames, both of them now!" The two warriors charged across the field and cut the two identical monsters in halves and fourths.

"Done, make your final move." Joe motioned.

"Nope, Your turn isn't done until Begin to Restart activates. It wipes the playing field clean of all cards." Every monster, magic, trap, and the field card faded away leaving the play space empty.

"Okay, downsides?" Joe cocked his eyebrow. "There had better be a down side."

"Oh there is, this next turn is treated like my first turn so I don't get to attack. Now..Draw!" Reku snapped a new card from his deck. "I start by playing my Thing in the crater (1000/1200) in defense mode." A large wall appeared on the field surrounding a large pool of lava. Two glowing eyes could be seen in the cave embedded into the wall. "Next two cards face down and it is your turn."

"Right." Joe drew. "You have been a good opponent. Very few people actually get my Dark Paladin in the graveyard. Oh well I will summon my Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600) in attack mode." The large iron warrior appeared on the field. It's armor shined in the light of the room.

"Wrong, I will play my trap. Equal Summon. At the cost of half my life, when you summon a monster I may special summon one monster form my deck of the same star level."

"I will summon Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000) in attack mode." The large fiery snake monster appeared on the field. It roared at the defending knight.

"Well, I know your beast and I know I can't attack him so I will attack the Thing in the Crater!" The iron knight rushed across the field and cut the wall in half. "Now summon your Pyro monster."

"I will and it is my second Solar Flare Dragon!" A monster identical to the first appeared and roared at Joe. Joe reeled at what that meant.

"He has erected the fiery defense. I can't attack." "Go." Joe said, still in a state of disbelief.

Reku drew a card. He looked at it. "I had better save that for later. Just in case." Reku smiled, "End turn, Solar Flare Dragons, Solar damage!" The two snakish creatures shot out small streams of fire that hit Joe's duel disk.

Joe pulled the next card from his deck. "Place one card face down and end my turn." The hologram appeared on the field behind Gearfried.

Drawing Reku pointed to Joe. "End turn, Solar Damage!"

Joe drew and slowly he flipped it over. A grin spread across his face as he saw what it was. "I play Tribute to the Doomed! I discard one card and destroy one of your Solar dragons." In an instant one of the dragons was mummified and vanished from the field. "Next, Gearfried attack the solar flare dragon, Go!" The knight charged across the field to hit the dragon but chains spurted up from the ground and bound up Gearfried (1100/1600).

"My trap Shadow Spell stopped you from attacking and bound up your monster. My turn?" Joe nodded to Reku who was eager to draw. Reku drew a card. "Attack Gearfried, Solar dragon! Solar Wind Destroyer!" The dragon formed a huge fire ball in its mouth and shot it out at Gearfried.

"No, reveal trap Nightmare Magic Sword. It stops one attack and will damage both of us equal to 500 for every magic and trap we have active during our end phases" A large demonic looking sword flew out and pierced the Solar flare dragon in the chest.

"All right, I should have expected that, Now I sacrifice my Solar Flare dragon to summon my Jinzo! (2400/1500)" The green armored monster appeared on the field. Whit it's appearance the two traps on the field turned a ghostly gray, signifying inactivates. "Go."
