Legends of the Demon Duelist-Rival School Arc

Chapter 19: Wolf Free for all

Eri- 4000

Daniel- 4000

Ichigo- 4000

Rikuo- 4000

"I'm first, draw!" Eri drew. "I summon Bone Sorcerer in defense mode!" (450/600) An old man in bony clothing appeared on the field in a crouching position. "I also set two cards face-down and end my turn!"

Daniel drew. "I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800/1200) in attack mode!" A blue-armored superhero appeared in play and struck a curious pose. "When this card is summoned and I have no other cards in play I draw two cards." He snapped the top two cards off of his deck, looked at them, and then turned them over. "Polymerization. I use it to fuse Elemental Hero Clayman (800/2000) with Elemental Hero Bubbleman!" The superhero disappeared and was replaced by a huge-bodied smooth-shelled humanoid. "Elemental Hero Mudballman!" (1900/3000) "In defense mode." The hero slid into a crouching position. "I set one card face-down and end my turn."

Ichigo drew. "I summon Cyber Shadow-Psychic (1500/1200) in defense mode." A woman in a black body-suit appeared on the field in a crouching position. "Also, I set three cards face-down. End turn."

Rikuo sneered. "It's time for the pro to play his hand. Draw!" He looked at the drawn card. "I play two Frontline Base continuous magic cards. While these cards are in play I can special summon one level four or lower union monster. Now I normal summon X-Head Cannon (1800/1500) in attack mode." A yellow and blue robot appeared on his field. "Also, I activate the effect of Frontline Base. Come out now, Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600) and Z-Metal Tank!" (1500/1300) A red mechanical dragon and a yellow tank appeared in play.

("He has no cards in his hand…") Ichigo felt like cheering. He knew that he could deal with the XYZ Dragon Cannon combination without a problem.

Rikuo held up the last card in his hand. "Card of Sanctity forces all players in play to draw until they are holding six cards in their hand."

All four duelists drew.

Rikuo looked at his new hand. ("Alright.") "I set three cards face-down on the field." He pointed at his monsters. "XYZ Dragon Cannon (2800/2600) form!" The three robots blew apart and combined into a single composite hover tank. "End turn!"

Eri frowned. Her father now had a full field of magic and trap cards, along with one of his most powerful monsters in play. She drew and added the card to her hand. "I summon another Bone Sorcerer in defense mode." A second of the decrepit mages appeared on the field alongside its brethren. "Also, I play the continuous magic card Situational Despair. If you do not attack me during your turn then I draw one card from my deck for every monster you have in play during my own standby phase. End turn."

Daniel drew and glanced over at Rikuo. "That won't be happening Eri. From my hand I summon Friendog (700/1200) to the field." A mechanical black and green dog appeared in play. "Then I play Hero's Death. This magic card lets me destroy a monster in play on my field to force you to do the same. Also, I draw one card." Friendog shuddered and exploded into dust.

Eri pointed at one of her Bone Sorcerers and it exploded.

Daniel drew and then fished his hand into his graveyard. "When Friendog is destroyed I may search my graveyard for a Polymerization and an Elemental Hero and place them into my hand." He held up Bubbleman and the magic card. Now he had eight cards in his cards.

"All of those cards won't do you any good, pops." Ichigo smiled slightly. "Unless of course you'd like to bring out a special guest star?"

Daniel scoffed and held up four cards. "I activate Polymerization. Elemental Hero Featherman, Elemental Hero Sparkman, and Elemental Hero Bubbleman. These three monsters will now combine their power to summon the mightiest Elemental Hero!" The three named monsters appeared on the field and were sucked into a glowing vortex. "Emerge now, Elemental Hero Tempest!" (2800/2300) A winged visor-wearing hero with a blaster for one hand slowly lowered onto the field. "Tempest, attack Cyber Shadow Psychic now! Chaos Tempest!" The warrior aimed the blaster at Ichigo's monster and released a blast of blue energy that tore towards it.

Ichigo pointed at one of his set cards. "Reveal Psychic Backlash! This trap card can only activate when a Cyber Shadow Psychic that I have in play is attacked. The attacking monster will be destroyed and you will discard cards from your deck equal to the number of level stars that monster had!"

"It's not that easy to take us down!" Rikuo pointed at one of his set cards. "I activate Royal Decree!" One of his face-down cards flipped up. "As long as this continuous trap card is face-up all other traps will be negated!" Psychic Backlash exploded and the Chaos Tempest blew Psychic away.

Daniel smiled at Rikuo. "End turn. You're up son."

Ichigo drew. "Here goes nothing. I reveal and activate De-Fusion! This quickplay magic card will break down one fusion monster in play. And my choice is the monster that won't be able to bring back its parts!" He pointed at XYZ Dragon Cannon. "So say goodbye to all of your hard work."

"But parting is such sweet sorrow." Rikuo pointed at another of his set cards. "I reveal Rare Metal Morph! This continuous trap raises the attack power of one machine monster in play by 500 points. Also, when this monster is targeted by a magic card that effect is negated. It can only be used once though."

Ichigo pointed at Royal Decree. "Forgetting something old man?"

"Not a chance little shit," Rikuo pointed at his last set card. "I reveal Emergency Provisions. This card lets me sacrifice Royal Decree and my two Frontline Base cards to gain 3000 life points. That means that the effect of Rare Metal Morph goes through." The steel surface of the hover tank turned into a silver sheen and Ichigo's magic card exploded. (3300/2600)

Eri- 4000

Daniel- 4000

Ichigo- 4000

Rikuo- 7000

Ichigo frowned. "I activate Polymerization, fusing Cyber Shadow Strongarm and Cyber Shadow Shield Bearer together!" A huge warrior with a giant shield in front of it and a rocket launched strapped to its back appeared in play. "Cyber Shadow Big Blaster!" (1200/3000) "Big Blaster's special ability lets me destroy one defense mode monster in play when it's out! So I'll destroy Mudballman! Big Bang Blast!"

"Reveal De-Fusion!" Daniel pointed at his set card. "Breakdown Mudballman!" The superhero blew apart and transformed into Bubbleman and Clayman.

Ichigo growled. "Big Bang Blast is a once per turn deal. So for now I can only set a card face-down and end my turn."

Rikuo drew. "It's time to clear out their defenses, wouldn't you agree Hikari?"

Daniel nodded. "Go for it."

The wolf demon held up a card. "From my hand I activate Polymerization! This magic card will let me combine these two monsters from my hand." He held up the two choice cards. "Jinzo and Wolf Demon Lord combine to create Steel Wolf General!" (3400/2000) A giant humanoid wolf in green armor with a giant broadsword strapped to its back appeared on the field. "XYZ attacks Big Blaster! Ultimate Destruction!" The machine opened dozens of ports in its body and unleashed destruction in the form of wave after wave of energy that pummeled into the giant monster and blew it apart. "Now Steel Wolf General attacks Bone Sorcerer!" The monster launched forwards and slashed the spellcaster apart. "Steel Wolf General's special ability can only negate flip effects, but when I play this quickplay magic card from my hand I can clear out your chances!" Electricity arched through the air and hit Eri's duel disk. "Electroshock negates the effect of one monster destroyed as a result of battle. Since I have no more cards in play or in my hand, I end my turn."

---

From up in the stands Deondre frowned. "Wow…they're not playing around. Rikuo and Daniel really mean to end Eri and Ichigo."

CJ looked down at the field. "I'm not even sure who to root for."

Siegfried sat silently, along with Ryu.

---

Eri drew. "It's my turn now! From my hand I activate Death Ritual of Lithmus!" She slid two cards from her hand into her graveyard. "I sacrifice Death Cregit Mage and Death Caliber Knight to summon Swordsman of Death Lithmus to the field!" A white-clothed warrior holding a pair of curved swords in front of it appeared on the field.

"Now I activate the effect of Lithmus by flipping up the continuous trap card Call of the Beast! This trap lets me pay 500 life points once per turn to raise the attack points of one monster in play by that number. And because there is a face-up trap card in play Lithmus' attack and defense scores are 3000!" (3000/3000) "Lithmus, attack XYZ Dragon Cannon now!" (3500/3000) The warrior glided across the field and slashed the hover tank apart.

"Also, I reveal my other face-down card Magic of the Night. When a monster in play is destroyed as a result of battle I can trigger this continuous trap card. It forces one target monster in play to not attack. So now Steel Wolf General cannot attack." The mighty warrior grunted and fell to one knee, eyes now closed. "I set one card face-down and end my turn."

Eri- 3500

Daniel- 4000

Ichigo- 4000

Rikuo- 6800

Daniel drew. ("Rikuo, I've got you covered.") "From my hand I play the equipment magic card Clay Wrap on Clayman!" A lump of clay fell over the warrior's body. "Then I play Fusion Return! This magic card lets me take back one Polymerization card from my graveyard and add it to my hand." He held up the magic card. "Now I play Polymerization, fusing Elemental Hero Clayman with Elemental Hero Burst Lady to create Elemental Hero Rampant Gunner!" (2000/2500) "In attack mode!" A strange female version of Clayman with a shield on one arm and a rocket launched on the other appeared on the field. "Clay Wrap's special ability triggers now. When it is sent to the graveyard with Clayman I can destroy one magic or trap card in play. Magic of the Night is destroyed!" The continuous trap on Eri's field shattered.

Steel Wolf General stood up and brushed itself off. Eri grimaced at that, while Rikuo smiled slightly.

Daniel slid another card into his disk. "Next I play the equipment magic card Bubble Shooter on Bubbleman!" A bazooka-like device appeared over the hero's shoulder. "This card increases Bubbleman's attack power by 800 points!" (1600/1200)

Eri sneered coldly. "But Lithmus is too powerful for all three of your weakling heroes."

"No hero is truly weak." Daniel held the last card in his hand up. "For as long as they are together strength will see them through this. From my hand I play Hero's Might! This equipment magic card will equip to Tempest. It can increase the power of any fusion Elemental Hero by 1500 points!" (4300/2300) "Go now Tempest, attack Lithmus! Chaos Tempest!" The warrior hefted its blaster arm and released a blue blast of power that slammed into the warrior and destroyed it instantly.

Eri- 2200

Daniel- 4000

Ichigo- 4000

Rikuo- 6800

Eri braced herself as the wind from the attack nearly bowled her over. "Lithmus…"

"I'm not done yet! Rampant Gunner attacks you…"

"Not so fast dad!" Ichigo pointed at one of his set cards. "Go A Hero Emerges! This trap card will force you to choose one card in my hand. If it is a monster then it is special summoned to the field. So make your choice." He held up his three remaining cards.

Daniel pointed at the middle one.

Ichigo smirked and threw it down. "Cyber Shadow King of Swords!" (2600/2300) A tall muscular warrior with blades attached to its forearms appeared on the field. "The Elemental Heroes are my opponents this time? Interesting…"

Daniel frowned. "I end my turn."

Ichigo drew. "From my hand I play Fusion Return!" He removed Polymerization from his graveyard and slid it into his hand. "Also, I play The Warrior Returning Alive! This magic card lets me take back one warrior type monster and add it to my hand!" He held up Cyber Shadow Psychic. ("Rikuo's Steel Wolf General is too strong for me to fight. So I have no choice but to go after dad's monsters.") "From my hand I play Polymerization, fusing Cyber Shadow Blademaster with Cyber Shadow Psychic to create Cyber Shadow Rune Blade!" (2400/1000) A hooded spellcaster with a pair of intricate swords appeared in play. "This monster's special ability allows me to sacrifice one of its 1000 attack bonus counters to destroy a magic or trap card in play. So I sacrifice a counter to destroy Bubble Shooter!" Rune Blade threw one of its swords and shattered the bazooka weapon. (1400/1000) "King of Swords, attack Rampant Gunner!" The warrior shimmered and the fusion hero exploded.

Eri- 2200

Daniel- 3400

Ichigo- 4000

Rikuo- 6800

"Rune Blade, attack Bubbleman!" The spellcaster leapt forward and slashed the superhero in half.

Eri- 2200

Daniel- 2800

Ichigo- 4000

Rikuo- 6800

"Then I sacrifice the other counter of Rune Blade to destroy Hero's Might!" The warrior threw its other sword, which passed through Tempest. (2800/2300) "End turn."

Rikuo drew. "Steel Wolf General, attack Swordsman of Death Lithmus!"

Eri pointed at Call of the Beast. "Call of the Beast activates now!" The card didn't respond. "What?"

"Have you forgotten princess?" Rikuo smirked as his monster slashed the warrior apart. "Steel Wolf General prevents someone from activating trap cards to its attack."

Eri- 1700

Daniel- 2800

Ichigo- 4000

Rikuo- 6800

Ichigo frowned and then remembered what he had in play. ("We'll be okay…King of Swords will hold as long as my traps remain in play.")

Rikuo held up his drawn. "Sneak Attack from the Darkness allows me to have a battle phase after my end phase. Steel Wolf General, attack King of Swords." The warrior leapt right from Eri's field to Ichigo's field and cut down the mighty King.

Eri- 1700

Daniel- 2800

Ichigo- 3200

Rikuo- 6800

Ichigo paled and met Rikuo's cold glare.

"I am the general. You are the pawn. Remember that, whelp." Rikuo pointed at Eri. "End turn! Now make sure that you fight with all of your strength. Because I'm not screwing around here."
