Chapter 32: Pt. 1 Deadly Clone Attack

The three of them left the medical ward an hour later and began their walk to the final duel. All in deep thought, they walked slowly. Reku held out his hand to Akina who looked at it confused but smiled. She placed her hand in his.

Ronin suddenly stopped. He looked back at the team who he was leading to the arena. "Guys, I have an idea of a team strategy. Let's all select one card from Sachiko's deck and use it in our own."

Reku and Akina thought about it for a second then Akina reached into her pocket and emerged with Sachiko's deck that Reku had given her earlier. She gave it to Reku who took it.

"You select first." She said and Reku nodded. Shuffling through the deck looking for anything that he might want to use to remember Sachiko he stopped at a magic card and his face fell.

"Wha..what! She has the Key of Life magic card!" Reku held the card out to show Akina and Ronin. Ronin did the same face fall that Reku did but Akina just looked at it.

"Yea, she got that from a pack. That is the rarest card in her deck." Akina said smiling.

"Right, Sachiko thank you I will borrow your Key of Life. I promise that when we win your soul back I will give it back." Reku slipped the card into his deck.

"I will borrow the Unhappy Maiden (0/100) from her deck." Akina said as she slipped a card into her deck.

"And I will take her Solemn Wishes card for my deck." Ronin said as he shuffled his deck and slipped it back into his deck slot. He handed the deck back to Akina who put it into her pocket. "Most likely Yukio will be starting off so he can be the one to beat all three of us but I am going first and I will beat his brains in."

A soft ping as the elevator met the floor. Out stepped Ronin, Reku, and Akina. They walked to the dueling rings. Team Chaos was already there along with Mr. Hiroshi.

"All right the style for the finals is as follows. A three duel set up in one match. Both teams start with 12000 life points and when that number drops below 8000 than the next member of that team must go. And then once it gets below 4000 the third person goes. It is a duel of endurance and to test who here is a true duelist." He looked at both teams. Then he slowly backed up to the side of the stage. "Both first players are to step onto the field."

Ronin walked up only to be met my Akiaki. He nodded to Ronin as his duel disk activated. Ronin's did the same thing.

"All right round one, Ronin Endo verses Akiaki Katanao. Begin!"

"Hold on.." Akiaki reached into his shirt and pulled out a shadow medallion. He held if forward towards Ronin. "Losers lose their souls." The medallion started glowing and a thick purple fog covered the field and all the people in the surrounding area. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the shadow realm." Akiaki laughed as the darkness fully covered them. "Lets duel."

"Agreed." Both duelists drew five cards.

"Akiaki's power comes from the ability to make extremely powerful monsters easily. I must stop him form getting a head start." Ronin drew. "I play my A Legendary Ocean field magic card." A large wave of water covered the darkened field. A light shone in a circle by Ronin, out of the light a large man wielding a sword and wearing nothing but pants appeared. "I summon my Shark Hunter Swordsman (1900/1400)(2100/1600) and thanks to my magic card I do not have to sacrifice for him. Next I will set up two reverse cards and end my turn." Two cards appeared face down behind the swordsman who grunted at being mentioned.

"Huh, all right then," Akiaki drew. "I destroy A Legendary Ocean to play Fusion Gate." The waters all disappeared from around them and the darkness seemed to swirl around them. "Next I fuse Crass Clown (1350/1400) together with Dream Clown (1200/900) To summon my Bickuribox (2300/2000)" A large toy box appeared and out pooped a demonic jack-in-the-box holding a long scythe. It laughed evilly at the shark hunter. "Now I set one card and play the magic card Fusion Cloner. It works if I have a fusion on the field. It clones that monster but halves it's stats so I have Bickuribox Clone (1150/1000)."

A second Bickuribox appeared next to the first. It's colors were the only thing different, they were inverted. Smiling coldly they both shrank back into their boxes.

"End turn." Akiaki motioned to Ronin who was now really confused.

"Wait, why did he end his turn like that?" "Oh well, your loss." Ronin drew his card. "You must have forgotten that fusion gate works for both people so I will send my Island Turtle (1100/2000) and Fiend of Dark Waters (1600/1000) from the game to summon...Island of Fiend Turtles (2200/2600) in defense mode and now I will send my swordsman back to my hand and gain 1000 life points!"

"Next I summon my Aqua Fighter (1500/1200)" A blue humanoid figure appeared on the field. It had oversized forearms and hands. It's face was a blank slate, only two yellow colored eyes were there. "Go attack the Bickuribox Clone!" The monster rushed across the field and punched through the monsters jack in the box. It sprung out the top from sheer force of the Aqua Fighter's fist breaking the box. A hideous scream came as if the monster was actually in pain.

"And Aqua Fighter lets me draw a card when it destroys a monster." Ronin drew a card. "Wait, why did he set up such a weak monster for me to knock down. He is in the finals so I know that he is better than that." "Or, did I walk into a trap?"

"Closer to the second one, activate trap Fusion Clones Life! It works when a Fusion Clone token is destroyed, it returns it but double the strength when it was destroyed. Come back Bickuribox Clone (2300/2000)!" The off colored Bickuribox returned to the field. The monster popped out of his box and cackled.

"Fine I am done here. Go Akiaki."

"Fine, Draw!" Akiaki drew. "Set one card and have my Bickuribox Clone take some revenge on your fighter there. Go Demon Scythe!" The monster popped out of box and flew across the field, a scythe materializing in his hand. One slash and the blue fighter was sliced in two. A horrid sound could be heard coming from the monster as it was cut in two.

Ronin suddenly fell to one knee, he felt weak for a second as his life point score decreased.

"Seeing how your turtle is in defense I wil..." Ronin held up his hand to stop Akiaki.

"Sorry but I activate Solemn Wishes!" The trap Ronin had got from Sachiko flipped up and glowed for a second.

"And...?"

"Nothing yet, but I will gain 500 life points when I draw."

"Smooth well your turn."

"Right." Ronin nodded as he pulled himself back to both feet. Ronin snapped the card from his deck. The Solemn Wishes started glowing and little lights rained down on Ronin's head.

"I set on monster face down and end my turn." The holographic back of the card appeared right next to the crouching turtle.

"What ever you say." Akiaki drew a new card. "Now, Go Bickuribox Clone attack the defense monster." Akiaki pointed to the downed card on Ronin's field. "Demon Scythe!" Once again the monster sprung from its cozy place in its jack-in-the-box and flew across the field. One slice and the face down card disappeared. "I end my turn."

"Draw!" Ronin snapped the card from his deck.

"Activate reverse card, Call of the Haunted! I use it to bring back my Unshaven Angler (1500/1600) that you just destroyed." The large monster appeared on Ronin's field right in front of the 'Call of the Haunted' trap card. "Next I sacrifice my Angler to summon my Levia-Dragon-Deadalus (2600/1500)!" Ronin's most powerful beast appeared on the field roaring. Energy flowed around it as the serpent creature advanced forward. "Torrent Rage on the Bickuribox Clone! Make sure it's destroyed this time!"

In one swift movement the dragon had swallowed the demonic box. Chewing it made a loud, disturbing crunching sound.

"You don't pay attention do you. I activate my second Fusion Clones Life. I get my Bickuribox Clone back at double the strength." The off colored monster returned for the third time but this time with greater stats (4600/4000).

"... ..." "Damn it all." "Fine I am done."

"Yes you are, my turn." Akiaki pulled his next card. "Ooooh, I play Mystical Space Typhoon. It destroys your precious Solemn Wishes." A large typhoon erupted form the and ripped right through the Solemn Wishes. The wind was even so strong Ronin fell backwards as he watched his card break apart. Looking startled Ronin pulled himself back up to his feet. "And now, Bickuribox Clone destroy his Dragon. Go now, Demon Scythe!"

The monster again flew across the field wielding its scythe back ready to attack. Slicing downwards, a white crescent blade appeared and went straight through every inch of Deadalus's body. A few seconds of silence pasted before Deadalus erupted with roars of pain. It's body started to fall apart then break into digital matter. Ronin fell to the ground again clutching his gut.

"Too bad my original Bickuribox is too weak to take out your 2600 defense. So I end my turn." He smiled coldly at Ronin as he pulled himself back up to his feet. "But now you are without your favorite monster."

"He's right." Ronin bit his lip as he looked at the smug look on Akiaki's face. "And my turtle won't stand any better against that thing than my Deadalus did. I am running out of moves." Ronin glared down at his deck "I won't quit!"

High life point numbers make my head hurt. No just kidding, I hope this will go over pretty good. Onto part two!
