Legends of the Demon Duelist-Chaos Arc
Chapter 30: Chaos Hell
"Let the party begin!" Chaos pointed at Eri. "Chaos Emperor Dragon, attack Ryu Kokki now! Apocalypse Burst!" The dragon snarled and released a wave of prismatic fire that hurtled towards Eri's field.
"Reverse card open!" Eri pointed at her now face-up set card. "Devil's Seal will lock the attacking monster away permanently. And where it is going there will be no chance of recovering it." A glowing kanji symbol appeared in the air in front of her. "Prepare for oblivion."
"That won't do at all." Chaos pointed at one of her set cards. "I reveal my counter trap. It's called Divine Anger. It will negate your trap card because it was targeting a level eight or higher monster on my field with an effect." The kanji symbol shuddered and faded away.
Eri threw up her arms, but she couldn't stop herself from screaming in pain as fire washed over her Ryu Kokki and blew it apart. The over wash of flame covered her from head to toe for a few seconds….and then it faded.
Eri- 2800
Ichigo- 3700
Chaos- 4000
Ichigo stared at smoke rising from the demoness' clothing. "Eri!" He turned to look at Chaos. "Stop it!"
Chaos giggled and pointed at Ichigo. "Your turn. Black Luster Soldier, Creation's Blade!" Roaring out a battle-cry, the warrior flew across the field towards the half-demon.
"Reverse card open!" Ichigo sneered. "You triggered my Mirror Force trap card! When activated it will negate your attack and destroy all attack mode monsters on your field!" A glowing barrier appeared and absorbed the attack….then shattered while the Soldier's sword slashed across Ichigo thousands of times, leaving him with hundreds of small bleeding cuts along his whole body. He stumbled and fell to his knees, while the Soldier floated back to its mistress' field. "How…?"
"You triggered my Chaos Force trap card. It negates one effect as long as either Chaos Emperor Dragon or Black Luster Soldier are in play." Chaos grinned like a child who had just gotten a gold star. "So nyah nyah!" She stuck her tongue out at him.
Eri- 2800
Ichigo- 700
Chaos- 4000
Eri slowly came to her feet and drew. "It's my turn!" She looked at her drawn card and then at the Soldier. "You're about to pay! From my hand I play the magic card Sword that Seals the Dead!" A sword with a skull at the cross-hilt flew through the air and pierced the armor of the Black Luster Soldier. It groaned and turned to stone. "Now your monster will remain useless until you destroy a monster on your field. Also, I summon Witch of the Black Forest (1100/1200) in defense mode and switch Hellmare into defense mode. End turn." A woman in black robes appeared on her field in a crouching position, and the flaming horse kneeled down as well.
Ichigo was still on his knees. Growling, he forced himself to his feet and drew. "I punched the head off that Soldier once, and I'll do it again." Looking at the drawn card he sighed in relief. "Finally. I summon Cyber Shadow-Trainer (300/1200) in defense mode and place one card face-down. End turn." A grizzled old man in a black body-suit appeared on his field.
Chaos waved her hand and a card appeared amongst her remaining two. "Yayness! It's time for me to have fun again!" She didn't seem bothered by the fact that her Soldier was sealed away. "I attack with Chaos Emperor Dragon against the Hellmare! Apocalypse Burst!" Roaring, the dragon sprayed the horse with prismatic flames and blew it apart.
Eri stumbled back and nearly collapsed. Just the backlash was almost too much for her.
Chaos giggled and the three cards in her hand appeared as huge representations of themselves behind her monsters. "I set three cards face-down and end my turn."
Eri shook her head rapidly to try and remove the ringing in her ears and the pain in her body. "It's my turn now…so watch out Chaos!" She drew. "I also set three cards face-down and one monster in defense. End turn."
Ichigo drew, trying to ignore the blood that was staining his nearly ruined Osiris Red jacket. "I summon Cyber Shadow-Shield Bearer (0/2400) in defense mode." A warrior with a huge riot shield in front of it appeared on his field in a crouching position. "End turn."
Chaos waved her hand and looked at her 'drawn' card. Then she started doing something that reminded Ichigo far too much of his 'I'm the best' dance. "I did it…I did it!" She slapped the drawn card onto her disk. "I summon Death Kaiser!" (1800/1600) A demon in black armor appeared on her field and growled. "Attack the mean girl's Witch now!" It leaped through the air and drove its wrist blades through the woman, destroying it instantly.
Eri removed a card from her deck. "When sent to the graveyard, Witch of the Black Forest lets me search for a monster with 1500 or less defense points from my deck and add it to my hand."
"And then I attack with Chaos Emperor Dragon! Apocalypse Burst against the mean boy's Shieldy guy!" The dragon screamed and sprayed the Shield Bearer with flames.
"Reverse card open!" Ichigo's face-down card flipped up. "By activating Alert Tripwire, I can negate your attack and draw cards equal to the number of Cyber Shadows on my field. Also, all of your attacks for the rest of this turn are negated as well!" He snapped two cards off of his deck and added them to his hand.
"Then I reveal my set Mystik Wok. This card lets me sacrifice Death Kaiser to gain life points equal to its attack. And since it was sacrificed, I get to draw two cards." Chaos waved her hand and two cards appeared in her hand, while her demon disappeared. "And cause I sent a monster to the graveyard, I get to revive my Soldier!" The Sword that Seals the Dead shattered and the Black Luster Soldier stood up, looking completely unharmed from its imprisonment. "Then I set a card face-down and end my turn."
Eri- 2800
Ichigo- 700
Chaos- 5800
Eri and Ichigo both gritted their teeth. They exchanged a single look and then Eri drew. "I set one monster in defense and end my turn."
Ichigo drew. "Chaos…you're finished!"
Chaos stuck out her tongue at him. "Nuh uh, mean wolfy!"
"Oh really?" Ichigo slid a card into his disk. "I play Special Operative Weapon-Stinger! This card equips to Shield Bearer!" A futuristic rocket launched appeared on the shoulder of the shield-carrying monster. "Now I use its effect to destroy your two Chaos monsters!"
Chaos stomped her foot angrily and one of her set cards flipped up. "I activate the trap card Dust Tornado, destroying your card!" A blast of wind shattered the rocket launcher.
Ichigo smirked. "It's no problem. I sacrifice Trainer and Shield Bearer to summon Cyber Shadow-King of Swords!" (2600/2300) The two monsters were replaced by a warrior with glowing fore-arm blades attached to him. Opening its eyes, it smirked just like Ichigo had. "Finally, a challenge…"
Chaos giggled and pointed at the King of Swords. "What a silly guy!"
"Silly?" Ichigo slid a card from his hand into his disk. "You won't be laughing when I play Cyber Shadow Mainframe. This card raises the attack of all Cyber Shadows by 500 points!" (3100/2300) "Ultimate King's Slash!" The King of Swords started to shimmer, preparing to cut down the Black Luster Soldier.
Chaos did a little jig and pointed at a different set card. "You fell for it! I flip up Magic Cylinder! This trap card will deal your monster's attack in damage to your life points!"
"Wrong!" Ichigo's face-down card flipped up. "Shadow Theft will steal your card and give it to me. But since I'm not blocking an attack it is simply destroyed!" The trap exploded into dust.
Chaos pouted and pointed at her other set card. "Then I reveal the quickplay magic card Mirage Magic. It'll negate your mean attack and give me life points instead!"
"Wrong." Eri sneered and pointed at one of her set cards. "I reveal Magic-hunting Spirit! This trap negates your magic card and would blast a magic card from your hand if you had any!" A ghost flew out of her face-up card and hit the Mirage Magic card, blowing it into dust.
King of Swords shimmered, and the Black Luster Soldier blew apart.
Eri- 2800
Ichigo- 700
Chaos- 5700
Ichigo smirked and pointed at Chaos. "It's your turn."
The little girl stared at the space where her Black Luster Soldier had been…and started to sob.
Eri growled and flexed her claws. "Damn it all! Make your move!"
Chaos stopped crying…and her eyes suddenly reflected a cold fury that sent both demons reeling. "No one ruins my fun! No one!" Chaos waved her hand and a card appeared. "I play the magic card Chaos Redemption! When played and I have an Envoy in play another Envoy may be special summoned from my graveyard to the field. Also, all magic and traps in play are sent to the graveyard!" The Black Luster Soldier reformed on the field and a storm of crackling energy shattered the cards on everyone's fields.
King of Swords (2600/2300)
Chaos' childish face calmly smiled at the now pale Ichigo. "I could end your life now…but I'd like to stretch this out. Chaos Emperor Dragon, Apocalypse Burst!" The Dragon roared and sprayed the King of Swords with flames, blowing it apart.
Eri- 2800
Ichigo- 300
Chaos- 5700
Ichigo screamed in pain as he was literally lit aflame from the prismatic fire that washed over him. When it faded his face and skin were bright red…and all of his cuts were cauterized because of the sheer heat of the attack.
"Black Luster Soldier, attack the bitch's monster!" The warrior leapt across the field and slashed the first set monster apart. "And when it destroys a monster as a result of battle, it can attack again!" The Soldier turned on one heel and slashed Eri's other monster apart as well.
The demoness snarled and held up one of her destroyed monster cards. "You sent Sanctified Soul (100/100) to the graveyard, and when that happens we all draw until we are holding six cards in our hand!" She snapped five cards off of her disk.
Ichigo, through some miracle, managed to draw two cards through the pain he was currently experiencing.
Chaos waved her hand and six cards appeared. "Offerings won't appease my fury, mortal." Her face turned sweet again. "However…I play the magic card Chaos Release. This magic card will force me to discard my hand and drew an equal number of cards plus one." She let go of the cards and they faded away. A new hand appeared. "Then I set four cards face-down and end my turn."
Eri drew. "I summon Soul of the Wolf!" (1400/1200) A white ghost-like wolf appeared on her field. "And I'm summoning my monster in attack mode! Also, I play the continuous magic card The Dark Door. Now only one monster may attack per turn. End turn."
Ichigo looked at the monsters on Chaos' field…and then growled. "It's my turn!" He drew. Smoke rose from some of the cuts along his face…but he couldn't feel pain. "I will destroy you! From my hand I play Monster Rebirth! This magic card lets me take one monster from my graveyard and shuffle it into my deck." He removed King of Swords and shuffled it into his deck.
"Why would you return that thing?" Chaos tilted her head to the side.
Ichigo smiled slightly. "You'll see. Come out now, Cyber Shadow-Shifter!" (800/1200) A black-clothed ninja appeared on his field. "Now the magic card Shadow Shift!" Shifter fell to its knees, as did the Chaos Emperor Dragon and Black Luster Soldier. "This magic card forces all monsters on the field to switch modes, and then…reverse cards open!"
"You don't have any face-down cards." Chaos said calmly.
"I didn't mean mine! I meant yours!" All four of Chaos' cards flipped up and shattered. "Shadow Shift forces all set cards to open immediately. If they cannot activate during this situation, they are destroyed."
Chaos gasped…
"And then I sacrifice Shifter to special summon King of Swords from my deck!" The ninja disappeared and was replaced by the ultimate warrior. (2600/2300) "I'm back…and this time I will not be defeated so easily."
Chaos giggled. "Silly wolfy, my monsters will destroy him next turn."
"We'll see about that! Activate equipment magic card Special Operative Weapon-Laser Swords!" A pair of laser swords appeared in the hands of the King. "This allows a Cyber Shadow to attack twice. Double Ultimate Slash!" King of Swords shimmered and both Chaos monsters exploded into dust.
Eri- 2800
Ichigo- 300
Chaos- 5500
Ichigo smirked and slid a card into his disk. "I set one card face-down. End turn."
"You big big meanie!" Chaos started hopping up and down, the beginnings of temper tantrum building from her.
Eri and Ichigo both sneered at the spirit. "What's the matter? Can't stand the fact that you just lost your best monsters?"
"My best?" Chaos stopped in her tracks and snapped her fingers. "Oh yeah! I nearly forgot." She waved her hand and a card appeared in it. "There it is."
"There's what?" Ichigo frowned at the fact that Chaos had calmed down so quickly.
"You're such a silly mortal. Those monsters weren't my best." Chaos held up the new card and a holy light shined down onto the field. "I remove a light and a dark monster from my graveyard."
"Another Chaos monster?" Eri's eyes widened. Her father had always told her that there were only two.
"That's right!" Chaos started to do her apparently happy dance. "Come on out Chaos Seraphim-Envoy of Heaven!" (2500/3000) The light got brighter as something lowered onto the field.
To be continued…
