Discliamer-I dont' own YGO

Chapter 5: Destiny Fights Pt. 3

"Go, Deadalus direct attack! Torrent Rage!" Sapphire sage pointed to Ronin. Deadalus flew across the field towards him, teeth bared.

Snapping his fingers, Ronin pointed to his downed card. "Go Whirlpool! It will stop your attack against me."

"No," The Sapphire Sage slumped down depressed as her Deadalus hit a swirling wall of water. "Fine, then I guess I am done."

"Okay then." Snapping the card off his deck he slid it into his duel disk. "I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards." Snapping two more cards off his deck he slid both of them into the magic/trap zone. "Next I set two cards and place my Umi on the field. Go now Sapphire Sage."

Smiling, Sapphire Sage looked at her Deadalus (2800/1700). She drew and place another card onto her duel disk "I play Mermaid Knight (1500/700)(1700/900) who gets to attack twice in one turn thanks to you. Now both of you direct attack!"

Ronin, shaking his head, pointed to one of his downed cards. "I play Tornado Wall! It will make all the attacks do nothing to my life points."

"So it does. I end my turn chosen one, go." She smiled at Ronin.

"Would you stop calling me 'chosen one'?" Ronin drew and looked at the card. Smiling, he had a plan. "I flip my down card Monster Reincarnation! If I discard one card from my hand I may take one monster from my grave and add it to my hand. Next I will summon him, go Sea Serpent Warrior of Darkness (1800/1500)(2000/1700)." The monster reappeared on Ronin's field. "Next comes Heavy Storm! It destroys all magic and traps on the field. Since Deadalus was summoned using you call of the Haunted it is also gone!"

A howling wind spun up out of nowhere. The Umi and Tornado wall were blown apart. Call of the Haunted was also destroyed and a roaring Deadalus simply disappeared while roaring at the sky.

"Next, my warrior of Darkness (1800/1500) gets to attack Mermaid Knight (1500/700). Go, Darkness Seas!" Jumping across the field, in an impressive display of weapon control, the Warrior of Darkness cut the Mermaid in half.

Drawing, the Sapphire Sage place it into her duel disk. "I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards." Pulling two cards off the top of the deck Sliding them into her hand she smiled. "I am done."

"Done!" Never had Ronin ever ended his turns without playing something. She was holding five cards in her hand and she couldn't play any one of them. There were no cards in his deck that he couldn't at least set for a bluff. "Fine, I'll draw." Drawing, he calmly put it into his hand and pointed towards Sapphire Sage. "Direct attack now."

"My turn?" She asked calmly.

"Wait, tell me why you didn't even try to defend yourself."

"Because." She drew her next card. "I needed to save cards for this. I play Miracle Star in Hand! I throw out the five cards in my hand to summon a five star monster. Come out Shark Hunter Swordsman (1900/1400) in attack mode." A very muscled man appeared only wearing battered and torn pants. His body was scared with what looked like teeth marks. Pulling out his sword it looked as if it was made of shark teeth and bones.

"I get it, you were saving cards so you could get one of my monsters out." Ronin felt stupid as he hadn't seen that coming.

"Yep, attack the Warrior of Darkness, Swordsman!" Both creatures charged across the field at each other. The swordsman was just a fraction of a second faster and stabbed the Warrior of Darkness in its chest.

"And it deals me extra damage for it being a water monster." Ronin said eyeing his life points.

"Yep, now my turn is finished. Go chosen one."

Drawing his card Ronin thought about it for a second before sliding it into his duel disk. "I play Hydra Fusion! I fuse Kaiser Bass with Terrorking Salmon to summon..." A large white fish appeared on Ronin's field. It's head was just the skull with no flesh and the rest of its body was covered with a ghostly fire mane. "King Death Fish (3000/2000) my strongest attack creature."

"Yes it is. So what now?" Sapphire Sage tried to avoid eye contact with the ghostly fish creature.

"Next I play my Monster Reborn to summon your Deadalus back from the grave to my field!" Howling, Ronin's favorite monster appeared on his field. "Go King Death Fish! Dooms Day Wave!" A ghostly gray wave came out of nowhere and washed away the swordsman with no problem what so ever.

Pointing to her, the Deadalus slowly moved forward. "Torrent Rage!"

Both duel disk deactivate and the sages duel disk completely disappeared. Ronin and the Sapphire Sage walked to the center of the meadow towards each other. Bending down Ronin picked up the medallion. Looking at it for a second he put it around his neck.

"Here chosen one, take the crystal." The Sapphire Sage said while handing Ronin a large sapphire colored diamond. Taking it out of her hands, his body quivered at the power that flew from it through his fingers and up into his body. She slowly then disappeared from right in front of him.


Akina stood up slowly. She found herself standing on a tropical island that was more of a large rock with overgrown shrubbery. She could see water all the way around her that stretched forever. The tree tops reached far above her and shielded her from the sun. It was cool and shady on her little rock platform.

"Greetings oh chosen one." A half sarcastic voice rang out from behind Akina. She swiveled around to see a woman in white robes with a slightly purple tint to them, standing on another rock platform.

"Who are you?" She asked as she walked into a direct line with the new woman.

"Blah, blah, blah. I am the Sage of Amethyst. You and I are going to duel to test you to see if you are worthy of the power I poses." Taking off the medallion from around her neck she threw it to the sand below the two of them. "Winner gets to retrieve the medallion. Let's duel."

Sliding her deck into the slot, Akina noticed small lightning bolts coming off it. Looking over at her opponent she realized that the lightning bolts were hitting her deck.

"What are you doing to my deck."

"Nothing, It's what I am doing to my deck. I posses Mirror Cards so I create an exact copy of your deck. Now shut up and let's get this over with."

"Fine, I will go first." Both players drew five cards than Akina drew her sixth. "I set one card face down and summon Swordsman of Landstar (500/1200) in attack mode. " The pale little toy warrior appeared on her field. It raised its sword at the sage.

Sighing, The Amethyst Sage drew off her deck. "I play Swordsman of Landstar as well. I set one card face down and attack your swordsman with my swordsman."

"Not quite, my face down card happens to be Rush Recklessly. I will gain 700 attack points for this battle (1200/1200)."

"Funny ain't it? I play my Rush Recklessly also." The clanking of steel could be heard as the identical swordsman bashed swords together. Soon after they both just faded away. "I set one more card face down and end my turn."

"Good." Drawing she slid the card into her duel disk. "I set one card and," she grabbed another card from her hand, "I summon Hayabusa Knight (1000/700) in attack mode." A birdish warrior in a cape appeared on Akina's field. Next come double direct attacks!" Flying across the field the monster brought its sword down on the sages body then in one swift motion brought it down again.

"I finish my turn now." Akina said smiling at her huge advantage.

"Fool." The Amethyst sage drew off her deck "First off, Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down card." A large wind came up from nowhere blowing the face down card away and blowing it to digital dust. "Good, next I summon Hayabusa Knight in attack mode." An identical creature appeared on the sage's field. "Next face down card, go Three Star Constellation! It will triple the monster's attack for this turn (3000/700)."

The monster growled as an aura flowed around it. It slowly stepped forward holding its sword out towards its opponent.

"Attack her knight now!" Charging across the field, the knight cut Akina's monster in two instantly.

"Now, finish this duel. Final direct attack!"

"Not quite, I have Kuriboh (300/200). When this furry little fuzz ball is discarded from my hand I can stop your attack damage. So I am still in this and am not planning on going anywhere." A small brown monster appeared on Akina's field. The Hayabusa Knight cut the monster in half instead of Akina.

"Lucky." The Amethyst Sage rolled her eyes. "I set one card face down and end my turn (500/700)."
