Chapter 6: The Black Tyranno vs. Sword Hunter
"No, Kou get up, you haven't' lost yet!" Shisei yelled to his best friend. "You can still beat him!" he continued.
"What's wrong with him!" Namia questioned, biting her lip in worry. "Is he going to be able to win, did this happen before?" she continued.
"Yeah, he actually dueled that Higentaka Osmos guy, but he lost, and right before, he was like that." Sei stated sadly. "So I don't know if he can win, he's pretty much given up." he continued, miserable that he wouldn't meet his friend in the final round.
"Don't worry, I know he'll get up." Namia stated, though she wasn't sure how she knew, she was sure she knew.
'There it is, his aura, it increased, even though he's about to lose… No, its not increasing, its changing!"' Higentaka thought to himself, as he continued to watch the match. 'The question is, what is his aura changing into, a demon, a sorcerer, or something else?"' thought the silver haired man, as he sat in the booth directly above the announcer's. "We'll have to find out, won't we, Kouichi Nandao?" he questioned the thin air, and then he continued to analyze the duel.
"What's wrong, you giving in to me already! Hahahahahahahahahahahahah!" Rex laughed he continued the laughter, making the audience sweat drop. "Well, where are the mighty warriors now?" he continued mocking the new duelist.
"You want to see warriors?" Kou questioned suddenly.
"Oh, still awake, oh well, my Black Tyranno will enjoy wiping you out!" Rex retorted.
"You think so, huh, well unfortunately, I'm going to end this duel next turn!" Kou looked up smiling mischievously. "So can I make my move?" he questioned.
"It won't help you, so go." Rex yawned, definitely not taking his opponent seriously.
"Alright, for my turn, I'll draw!" he drew. "Now you're about to lose! I'll activate Graceful Charity, and draw 3 cards, then discard 2." he did this. "Next, I'll play, Creature swap! This means you have to trade me a creature, and I trade you one, you can have my facedown Cliff the Trap Remover(1200/1000) and since you have no other monsters, you have to give me your Black Tyranno!" Kou smirked.
"Alright Kou, you can win with that combo!" Shisei yelled, though he knew that Kou would only be in hot water after the fact.
"I told you he hadn't given up!" Namia cheered as well, surprising Shisei.
"What, do you have a crush-" he didn't get to finish the sentence before he was hit brutally (at least for a nerd) over the head with Namia's duel disk. "OW! Sorry, it was just a joke!" he rubbed his head and shut his mouth as Kou's struggle continued.
"Now to turn the table's! I'll now activate, Monster Reborn, to revive the Sword Hunter sent to the Graveyard due to my Graceful Charity!" he smirked yet again as the monster erupted from the earth, and it looked very angry.
"That monster may be able to break your defense, but I'll only get enough direct damage to harm me for a while!" Rex shouted. He was a little annoyed that he was going to lose some LP due to an amateur, but he knew he would win, so he didn't care.
"You wish! First Sword Hunter will attack the monster I gave you!" the creature unsheathed a large broadsword, and then slashed the defense monster with it. "Now your monster and my strike Ninja will directly attack your LP!" these monsters obliged too and Rex lost a lot of LP.
Kou-900
Rex-800
"Okay, I'm done, here's your monster." the monster reappeared on Rex's field.
"Thank you, now I'll summon my second Uraby(1500/800) and end this duel!" Rex shouted, completely sure that he had one the duel. His second Uraby appeared and the two monsters roared together. "Now, Black Tyranno, attack his pathetic Sword Hunter(2650/1700)! The creature rushed into unknown suicide, thenbitat the warrior, but the warrior lunged over it and stabbed straight down into the beast's neck.
"You lose, dino brains!" Kou cried in victory.
"WHAT! HOW DO YOU KEEP TRICKING ME!" Rex began to yank his hair in frustration at how his own monster was destroyed. "What card did you use!" he questioned. He didn't remember his opponent setting any trap or magic cards.
"I used my Sword Hunter's effect, when it destroys a monster in battle, it gets an extra 200 attack points!" Kou smiled. "So I destroyed my own monster with him, instead of using something weaker, so I could get the bonus, instead of bringing you down to 50 LP by attacking with Strike Ninja first." he smirked.
"Oh no, you made me lose." Rex realized, he had no cards in his hand and only a very weak Uraby on the field now. "How did you make me lose?" he questioned, as though he had gone into shock.
"I'll take that as you ending your turn, now I'll draw." he drew, but didn't look at the card. "Now where are all your insults? Oh well it doesn't matter, Sword Hunter(2850/1700) attack his Uraby!" the beast struck the Uraby hard, and the shockwave that resulted knocked Rex to the ground.
Kou-900
Rex-0
"YEAH! YOU WON!" Shisei jumped over the railing and hugged his best friend as the holograms disappeared.
"I knew you would!" Namia cheered as well, making Kou blush and Shisei sigh.
"You guys… Wait, I don't even know you, and you were cheering for me?" Kou asked as the logic of the situation dawned on him.
"Well yeah, but I couldn't believe the comebacks you pulled off, you deserve recognition for that." Namia blushed at her lame excuse, but Kou seemed to accept it.
"Now will the next 2 duelists please report to the dueling arena." the announcer's voice was heard.
"Well, I guess I'll see you 2 kiddies on the other side of victory, see ya!" Shisei stated, getting into the dueling arena and turning on his duel disk. However confident he tried to sound, however, he was ten times more afraid.
"Oh, looks like Rex isn't the only one who got to face an amateur, oh well, I won't lose." None other that the lime green haired Espa Roba stepped into the arena directly across from Shisei. "I'll let you have the first move, as I've foreseen your defeat!" he smirked as the holo projectors on his own duel disk shot out.
"Yeah, sure, then you might want to invest in a better brand of crystal ball." Shisei retorted as he drew his five cards, Espa only yawned in dissatisfaction and did the same.
Shisei-8000
Espa-8000
"DUEL!" the two cried, and the third duel of the Japan Regional had begun.
