Chapter 21: Epic Battle! Crystals Clash pt. 1

Reku started to move forward. He quickly charged and punched the robed man right in his face. Tal flew backwards a bit and slid on the floor. Still laughing, Tal pulled himself up.

"I wouldn't do that again if I were you." He said wiping blood from under his nose. He snapped his fingers and a wall that had previously been dark lit up. There hanging on the wall were Akina and Sachiko. Their arms and legs chained to the wall with a ball gag in their mouths. "Do it again and they both get it." Tal moved his thumb by his thoat to show of cutting his thoat.

Growling, Reku backed up to where he was standing by Ronin again. He didn't dare attack again.

"Reku Yamashita." Ronin slowly said. "I am sorry but..." His duel disk snapped into place.

"Ronin, I wanted to duel you but not like this." Reku said holding up his hand. "We are...friends."

"Friends!" Ronin moved quickly passed Reku hitting their shoulders together. "You didn't seem so friendly when you and Akina spent all the time together. But now my love is riding on this game." He pointed to the slot opposite of him. "Get your ass over there and duel me."

"Ronin..." Reku was at a loss for words. Looking at Akina fear filled eyes he made a quick decision. He jogged over to the slot and started to shuffle his deck. "Bring it on!"

"Good, now the rules for this match." Tal said stepping to the sidelines. "The winner walks out of here with his love in hand, loser loses his soul. In the event of a tie, both sides lose their loved ones. I belive in all good respect, that since Ronin has waited the longest he should get to go first. Duel!" Fog started to envelop them, they were going to duel in the shadow realm.

Both sides drew their opening hands. Ronin drew his sixth. "Perfect I almost have the strategy complete already that will be the down fall of him." He slid on card onto his disk. "I set a defense and a reverse card. Your move Reku."

Reku pulled the card off his deck. "Fine Ronin, we are going to play then. I summon Thing in the Crater (1000/1200) in defense mode." A large wall appeared on Reku's field. "I am done Ronin."

"Fine." Ronin snapped the card off his deck. He smiled and looked at Reku. "Reku I know for a fact that you struggled in chemistry class."

"I wasn't the only one struggling." Reku responded. "And what does that have to do with anything?"

"Well you see, water is made up of three parts. Two parts Hydrogen and one part Oxygen. Now I summon Hydrogedon (1600/1000)!" A brown creature appeared on Ronin's field. It made an ungodly noise towards its opponent. "Next I flip my down Oxygedon (1800/800)." A light teal monster that seemed to be made of moving parts appeared on the field. It roared out of its jaws. "Hydrogedon attack his defensive monster!"

Roaring the monster collided with the wall on Reku's field. It burst apart spraying the field with small stones.

"You should know by now that when it is destroyed I get to summon a fire monster. Come Twin Headed Fire Dragon (2200/1700)." A blue and red swirled dragon monster appeared on Reku's field.

"Yea well I get to summon one Hydrogedon from my deck because my first one destroyed a monster!" A second brown creature appeared on Ronin's field. "Now Reku, what did I explain to you just a few minutes ago? I told you that water is made up of three parts. Two Hydrogen and one Oxygen!"

"Damn." Reku looked at the three beasts on Ronin's field. He understood that they must work together somehow.

"I play my downed card Bondage H2O! I get to summon my new Water Dragon (2800/2600) from my deck now!" A large dragon monster made completely out of water appeared on Ronin's field sucking up the three monsters already there. "Unfortunately for you I attacked already so I set one card and end my turn."

"Damn him. He has new cards that he didn't tell me about. That damn thing is powerful." Reku snapped the next card off his deck. "I set one mosnter and switch my Twin headed Fire Dragon to defense mode. End turn."

"Reku!" Ronin pointed to his friend with an angry look in his eye. "If you love Akina you would be playing harder! I want your best!" Ronin drew his next card. He pointed to his downed card. "I activate my Defensive Curse! It works when there are two defensive monsters on the field. The we both loses 500 life points and both defensive monsters flip to attack mode."

Ronin-3500 LP

The Twin Headed Fire Dragon and the downed Alpino the Mech Warrior (1600/1500), A grey warrior duel wielding swords covered with a large metal suit of armor, flipped to attack mode.

"My monster has another ability." Ronin said pointing to his water dragon. "I can reduce the attack strength of all Fire and or Pryo monsters to 0!" (Twin Headed Fire Dragon 0/1700)(Alpino the Mech Warrior 0/1500) The two monsters slumped over as their attack strengths fell to zero. Ronin pointed to the Fire Dragon. "Attack that thing with Water Blast!" Shooting a stream of water, the twin headed fire dragon roared as it disappeared in a flood of water.

Ronin-3500 LP

"I end my turn now."

Reku snapped the card off his deck. "I summon Dekayak the Mech Warrior (1600/1500)." A light blue monster that was shaped like a human with four arms. It had a circular crown of horns on it's head and body armor made out of metal. All four of its arms were made of machines. "Next I fuse my two monsters together to summon Mechanoid Chrome Guardian (2800/2700)!"

The two monsters disappeared in a flash of light and suddenly was replaced with a large monster made of gold metal. It had a golden face mask that hid its face. A sleek humanish body reflected light off it's smooth surface. Holding its double bladed long sword that shimmered in the light of the area it prepared for battle.

"I set three cards face down and end my turn." Three brown-backed cards appeared on Reku's field.

"Fine." Ronin drew his next card. "I reduce the attack of your monster to zero (0/2700). Now Water Dragon, attack it with Water Blast!" Opening its jaws, the large water dragon shot out a stream of water towards the large golden monster.

"Open face down card!" Reku yelled as the face down card flipped up. "It's called Draining Shield! I stop your attack and gain life points equal to your attack strength!"

Ronin-3500 LP

"Fine I set one card face down and end my turn."

"Draw!" Reku snapped the card off his deck. He flipped it around and played it. "Go Card of Sanctity! We both draw until we hold six cards!" Reku snapped five cards off his deck while Ronin only got two. "Next I play my Hole in the Plan to summon by removing Dekayak, Alpino, and Thing in the Crater from the game, Mech Dragon Blaster (2500/2000).

"That's right, Hole in the plan lets him sacrifice monsters from his grave equal to the number of stars above four that a monster in his hand has. Mech Dragon Blaster has seven stars so he sacrificed three cards." Ronin bit his lip but still smiled. "It still can't beat my Water Dragon."

A large dark green dragon appeared on the field. Machinery dawned on many parts of its body. Random spots on the creature was covered with gears, wires and metal plates. Roaring it stepped towards the dragon made of water.

"Due to the fact that I can't conduct a battle this turn I end my turn." Reku said glaring at Ronin.


Ryokurio, Usami, Kevin, and Joe all rounded the corner coming to the Itakura house. Ryokurio and Usami were surprised to see that there was a boy leaning against the wall by the kids front door. The kid, a spiky blond hair brown eyed, kid was wearing a black T-shirt with a blue eyes white dragon on front and baggy jeans.

"Hey Kai." Usami said walking up to him. "What are you doing here?"

"Your brother and I were going to trade a few cards today." He said without even moving.

"Oh yes, you had that Phantom Dragon that I wanted." Ryokurio said walking up to Kai.

"And they are? Besides pathetic duelists." Kai asked glancing over his shoulder at the two boys still standing on their lawn.

"That's Kevin and Joe. They aren't pathetic duelists at all!" Usami snapped at Kai. "That one there has the rare Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Usami whipped her hand around and pointed to Kevin.

"Blue Eyes!" Kai muttered astonished under his voice. "Yea right."

"Joe, Kevin, this is Kai. He is one of the top dragon duelists around next to us."

"Next to?" Kai glared at her.

"All three of you use dragon cards?" Joe asked pointing to the three kids still on the porch. "How many others?"

"No more, that are good anyways." Kai said, almost annoyed with having to talk to such a 'pathetic' duelist.

"We have a little group." Ryokurio said turning around to the boys. "We are the best dragon players in town."

"Oh!" Joe cocked an eyebrow. "Want to back up those words?"

What is Joe starting here? Who will win between Reku and Ronin? To be honest, this duel isn't as one sided as it seems.

To Darksoulki: I intend to

To John: Actually you don't I just suggested it. Anyways it's a quick read but all you really need to know is that Kevin has one.
