Legends of the Demon Duelist-Rival School Arc
Chapter 13: R through Z
They arrived at the castle about an hour after Davis had defeated Duplicate.
And sure enough there was someone waiting for them at the entrance.
Kenshin couldn't make out who it was, but his plan remained clear to him. "I'll take this one."
Daniel looked down at the clipboard and frowned. ("This whole meet is a lie. We have to beat every North School member to win. Otherwise, they win.") Sighing, he stepped aside and let the Crusader walk past him. "Sure, help yourself."
The North School student who was waiting for them at the entrance was a young blond-haired child who couldn't have been older than 12. "So, who's my opponent?"
Kenshin held up his disk. "I'm your opponent."
"You?" The boy shrugged and held up his arm, its disk activating. "That's fine with me. I'll defeat whoever my opponent is without that much trouble. My name is Alfred, and I am a true genius."
Kenshin rolled his eyes. "And so am I."
"We'll see about that." Alfred's disk slid into place. "By the time I am done, you'll understand that you're nothing compared to me."
"I've heard bold claims like that before from better men, unlike a certain 4'6" child in front of me." Kenshin's disk slid into place. "Now prepare to feel the cold steel of the Crusader's blade! Duel!"
Alfred- 4000
Kenshin- 4000
Kenshin drew. "I'm first! I summon Kaiser Seahorse (1700/1650) in defense mode and end my turn!" A blue-armored monster appeared on his field in a crouching position.
Alfred smiled. "I can already see how weak your monsters really are! Draw!" He snapped the top card off of his deck and held it up to his eyes. "I activate Tiny Pound Hammer!"
"What?" Kenshin's eyes widened as a holographic of the drawn card appeared on the field.
"This card lets me shuffle itself and any number of cards from my hand into my deck. Then I draw that same number of total cards." Alfred grabbed four other cards and shuffled them all into his deck. Then he took off the top five of his deck and fanned them out in front of him. "And then I play it again!" He shuffled it and two cards into his deck. "Now I play it again!" He shuffled the card and three more cards into his deck with it.
("How many times is he going to draw that card?") Kenshin growled as his opponent looked at his drawn cards and held up Tiny Pound Hammer again, shuffling two cards into his deck.
Alfred held up his six cards. ("Good enough…") "I summon R-Combat Robot (1900/1000) in attack mode!" A silver-colored humanoid robot appeared on the field.
"R-Combat Robot?" Daniel blinked in surprise. "Since when did…did…"
Kenshin gritted his teeth. ("Great…")
Alfred pointed at Kaiser Seahorse. "Crush it!" The robot leapt forwards and punched the monster in the face, blowing it apart. "End turn."
Kenshin drew. "I summon Lightning Knight!" (1900/1700) A silver-armored knight holding a steel staff appeared on the field. "I set one card face-down and end my turn."
"You think you can force me into a standoff position? You're dead wrong!" Alfred drew. "I summon S-Hover Shark!" (1400/1300) A green-colored robotic shark appeared on the field. "I activate its effect and union it with R-Combat Robot!" The two robots pulled together to create a humanoid shark-like robot. (2500/1000) "Attack Lightning Knight!" The machine leapt forwards and lifted its arm to punch through Lightning Knight.
"Reveal Drain Vortex!" Kenshin pointed at his set card. "This quickplay magic card sends one attacking monster on the field back into its owner's deck and we both draw a card!" R-Combat Robot disappeared, and the pieces of the S-Hover Shark blew apart. Then both duelists pulled the top card off of their decks.
Alfred snarled and slid a card into his deck. "I set one card face-down and end my turn."
Kenshin drew. "I'm much better than you think, genius. Now I summon Dark Blade!" (1800/1500) A dark-armored warrior holding two curved scimitars appeared on the field. "Attack his life points directly my two monsters!"
Alfred pointed at his set. "I activate the trap card Sonic Cannon! This card negates all attacks during this turn!" Both warriors fell to their knees.
Kenshin frowned. "End turn."
Alfred drew. "Now I'll show you why no one messes with my machines! I activate Repair Nanites! This card revives a machine from my graveyard with 1000 less attack points and no effect!" S-Hover Shark shimmered back into existence on his field. (400/1300) "Now I summon T-Blast Jet (1600/1700) to the field in attack mode!" A purple jet fighter appeared on his field. "I union S-Hover Shark with it!" The two machines combined to create a purple and green robotic shark with huge jet wings. (2200/1700) "Now attack Lightning Knight! Sonic Slash!" It launched forwards and cut the knight in half with its wing edges. "End turn!"
Alfred- 4000
Kenshin- 3700
Kenshin drew. ("There's nothing in my hand that can deal with his robot…I have to go defensive for now.") "I switch Dark Blade into defense mode and set a monster face-down. End turn." The dark-armored fell to one knee.
Alfred drew. "I play the continuous magic card Frontline Base! As long as this card is in play I can special summon a level four or lower union monster from my hand to the field once per turn!" He slapped a card onto his disk. "Go Z-Metal Tank!" (1500/1300) Then he slapped another card down. "Go Y-Dragon Head!" (1500/1600) A yellow metal tank and a red mechanical dragon appeared on the field. "Now I use the effect of S-Hover Shark to separate it from T-Blast Jet!" The two machines on his field broke apart and formed into their original pieces. (1400/1300) (1600/1700)
Kenshin paled. ("Not good…not good….")
Alfred pointed at Dark Blade. "Go T-Blast Jet!" The jet fired twin beams of light that slammed into Dark Blade and blew the warrior apart. "S-Hover Shark!" Kenshin's face-down was hit by a torpedo that blew it apart. "Direct attack!" Y-Dragon Head released a blast of lightning from its mouth that washed over the Crusader, and then Z-Metal Tank shot a beam from its single eye that hit him right in the chest.
Alfred- 4000
Kenshin- 700
Kenshin collapsed to his knees and coughed in pain. ("Damn…")
Alfred pointed at his monsters. "Now I union Z-Metal Tank to Y-Dragon Head and S-Hover Shark to T-Blast Jet!" The four robots blew apart and formed into two new robots. (2100/1600) (2200/1700) "End turn."
Kenshin drew. "It's time to fight back against your machines! First I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600) in attack mode!" A black and silver armored knight appeared on his field. "Then I play the magic card Warrior's Crest! This card raises the attack of all warriors in play by 1000 for one turn!" (2800/1600) "Gearfried, attack now!" His knight launched forwards and slashed its sword across the front of the ST combination. The Hover Shark shuddered and blew apart. "I set one card face-down and end my turn." (1800/1600)
Alfred- 3400
Kenshin- 700
Alfred drew. ("Perfect…") "I activate the equipment magic card Perfect Design! This card lets me only activate it if I have a machine on the field, that can union with one in the graveyard!" S-Hover Shark reappeared in play. "Now that monster is revived! YZ union, attack Gearfried!" The red and yellow robot blasted Gearfried in the chest and blew him apart.
Alfred- 3400
Kenshin- 400
Kenshin pointed at his set card. "Go Knights of the Round! This trap card lets me pay half of my life points when a knight monster is destroyed as a result of battle. Now I special summon three Knights to the field! Command Knight, (1200/1900) Blade Knight (1600/1000) and another Gearfried the Iron Knight!" (1800/1600) A female knight wearing feather armor appeared on the field in a crouching position, and next to her another black/silver knight alongside a silver knight appeared on the field. "When Command Knight is in play the attack of all warriors rises by 400!" (2200/1600) (2000/1000)
Alfred pointed at YZ. "Activate the effect of Z-Metal Tank! Break-down!" The machine blew apart into its separate pieces. "Fusion!" Both came together once more to form a tank with a dragon's head. (2100/2200) "YZ-Tank Dragon in defense mode! Also, I play the equipment magic card Magnetic Armor! While this card is in play the equipped monster card gains 500 defense points!" (2100/2700) "Also, you can only attack this monster now. End turn."
Kenshin drew. "First I play Pot of Greed. Then I set one card face-down on the field and end my turn."
Alfred drew. "I end my turn."
Kenshin drew and smirked. "Reveal Final Attack Orders! This continuous trap card forces all monsters in play to go into attack mode!" YZ-Tank Dragon rumbled as it switched modes. "Then I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Perfect Design!" A blast of wind shattered the card and S-Hover Shark disappeared. "It's done."
"I'm not anywhere near done!" Alfred growled.
"We'll see about that! I switch Command Knight into attack mode!" Kenshin slid three cards into his disk. "I set these three cards face-down, which means I have one card in my hand! Now the attack power of Blade Knight increases by 400!" (2400/1000) "Blade Knight, attack now!" The warrior leapt forwards and slashed through the fusion robot.
Alfred- 3100
Kenshin- 200
Alfred paled slightly. "I'm still not beaten yet!"
"Gearfried, attack T-Blast Jet!" The knight slashed through the purple machine and it exploded.
Alfred- 2600
Kenshin- 200
Alfred stumbled back. "I…said…I'm…not…done!"
"Yes you are!" Kenshin held up his last hand card. "From my hand I play the quickplay magic card Strength of the Pure Heart! Now whenever a Knight lands a direct attack during this turn you take an extra 1000 damage! Command Knight's special ability strengthens itself as well!" (1600/1900) "Direct attack!" The female knight slashed across Alfred's chest. "And Strength of the Pure Heart means that you take 1000 life points of damage. Good game."
Alfred- 2600- 1000- 0
Kenshin- 200
Alfred fell to his knees. "But I…didn't even get out my best monsters."
Kenshin side-stepped and did a shallow bow to the group behind him. "Go ahead."
From the camera view he was getting, the Principal of North School knew that everyone was there. ("Excellent….they're all here.") He reached over and tapped a button on his control panel. "Make sure that they know where they are going."
To be continued…
Author's Notes: Forgive me if this chapter seemed lackluster. I'm not feeling well and personally this wasn't that big of a duel to me. So I just played it out…and yes, I drew Tiny Pound Hammer that many times.
To Rex: --; From what you said before…it was if a deck had nothing but Ojama cards. None of those cards deal damage. I could splash in plenty of other cards to do damage, but I was looking at it from using Ojama only.
To Raine: They suck hmmm? Not every member of this freaking team is impossible to defeat, and we are talking about Ichigo and company, who are all strong duelists in their own right.
To Bobbomp: Whatever, call Don Zaloog what you wish.
To Anime Albino: Thank you for your endless well of grammatical knowledge. :P
To falcon demon general: I understand the feeling of not having anything on the mind. I'm currently experiencing that lovely blank in my brain as well.
To Dais: North School is very strange indeed, no?
To G.O.T. Nick: He could have. And yes, I saw the irony in that last chapter as well.
To Voidtemplar: First time I have ever heard someone use Topdeck as an adjective.
To Hogwarts-Knight: Sorry, that's a question I shan't answer.
To Adriel: I don't know. Probably not very well.
To Seeker of the Soul: Thank you very much.
