Kintaro (8000) Vs. Chi (8000)

Kintaro still couldn't believe how she played people like she tried him. Kintaro never had a true lesson in loving someone, but he had his admirers through high school.

"If you really want a challenge from someone at your rank, try the elementary school down the street because l play hardball." Kintaro said.

"Enough. I'll go first." Chi said.

Chi rifled through her hand, as if she had nothing to do. Looking a bit flushed, she made her move.

"I'll set one card facedown, set one monster, and end my turn." Chi said.

"A typical opening maneuver." Kintaro said drawing his sixth card.

Well, I'm unaware of her strategy, but it must be swift and powerful or else she wouldn't have such a reputation. I'll have to tear her apart fast.

"I'll play the magic card, Reinforcement of the Army! I'll take one level four or lower warrior from my deck and add it to my hand. Next, I'll set one card and summon Sasuke Samurai! Attack the facedown creature!" Kintaro commanded.

The stout little samurai with his misshaped head darted out at Chi's monster and slashed it to pieces without the creature even appearing.

"The card you destroyed was Morphing Jar. A slight drawback." Chi said smugly.

"After that I'll end my turn." Kintaro finished.

"Then I draw . . . I guess I'll just summon Archfiend Soldier and attack that wimpy samurai of yours! Dark flame!" Chi shouted, her eyes showing the intent to kill.

"Activate Drain Shield!" Kintaro shouted.

A large humanoid demon appeared and fired a black missile of fire at the short samurai. A heavy metal shield then manifested onto the field and drained the attack. Kintaro's life points then rose.

Kintaro 9900 - Chi 8000

"Thanks." Kintaro said smiling. "You think I would leave such a useful monster unprotected?"

"Then I shall set one more card facedown and end my turn." Chi said.

Hmm, she has two magic or traps and only a simple 1900 monster on the field. She's probably got nothing, but I better play it safe.

"I activate Ghostly Wind! At a cost of 500LP each, I can destroy a number of your magic and trap cards. I shall pay 1000 LP to destroy both of them!" Kintaro said.

Two floating skeletal figures with scythes appeared in the air above Chi. They fell fast and slashed the two cards to pieces.

Kintaro - 8900 Chi - 8000

"Damnit! Hmph . . . you destroyed my Call of The Haunted and Archfiend's roar." Chi said angrily.

"Then I'll summon Goblin Attack Force! Attack the Archfiend Soldier!" Kintaro said.

A large troop of evil goblins appeared on the field. They ran at full speed with their spiked clubs raised and trampled the helpless Archfiend.

K 8900 - C 7600

"After that, I'll lay one card facedown and end my turn." Kintaro declared.

Chi drew her card. Obviously furious over her first two moves, she took a breath and calmed herself. As she drew her next card, she bared an evil grin. Her eyes darted upwards and stared at Kintaro.

"This card will certainly aid in my strategy. I summon the Warrior of Zera. Then I play the field card Pandemonium!" Chi shouted.

First, a lightly armored warrior with a blade of demon's bane appeared on the field. He looked uncertain of his surroundings. He looked even more uncertain as a monstrous, dark, and tainted castle rose out from behind Chi. The castle's eerie green glow almost darkened the blue sky itself. As the clouds of darkness overcame her field, the Warrior of Zera looked frightened.

"Then I'll use the power of Pandemonium to transform my Zera Warrior into Mazzera DeVille!"

The Warrior then broke into violent convulsions and fell over. Two large dark hands reached down and picked up the warrior and brought him all the way back into the castle behind Chi. In a brief flash and an explosion, an evil creature dove back to the place where Zera once stood. DeVille looked like Zera, only taller and darker. He now sported massive black wings and an evil distorted face.

"Behold my ultimate creature! Also, when he is special summoned, you must discard 3 cards from your hand!" Chi laughed. "However, you only have two, so they'll have to do!" Chi laughed even more.

As Kintaro dropped his cards, he smiled. As soon as the second card hit the graveyard, a large grave rose from Kintaro's side of the field. A transparent figure rose from the grave. It was only a shadow, but it was crimson and spiny with evil yellow eyes.

"I special summon Despair From The Dark!" Kintaro said. "My zombie creature gets summoned through a discard effect that you activate. In this case, I thank your Mazzera for helping me." Kintaro finished.

"A slight bug in my plan. Mazzera, attack his samurai!" Chi commanded.

Crap! I forgot! How stupid are you Kintaro? He thought.

A large, dark explosion and then dust settled. Sasuke samurai had been destroyed. Feeling the damage, Kintaro winced in pain from the electric shock.

K 6600 - C 7600

"You're monsters duel like you live your life, slow and sloppy. Apparently you still haven't learned how duel again. I'll set my last card and end my turn." Chi said.

Kintaro looked down at his deck and couldn't help but take a deep breath. I need a miracle. Kintaro drew his next card.

There was now a helicopter hovering over the duel. A Telecopter. They're probably showing this all over town now. Welcome back to the limelight Mr. Kintaro.

"I hope you enjoy your last cards. Because I'm already planning on what to do with the cards and fame I'm going to gain. Moreover, I'm going to gladly destroy that card your father gave you. Judging by your spirit, I'd say your father died rather quickly." Chi bragged.

Now Kintaro was furious. Who is she to talk about my father? He had lost all feelings he ever had towards her.

"How dare you speak of my father like that! You miserable tramp! I hope you can take the heat, because I'm going to blow you away like the flake you are. I activate the magic card Pot of Greed! I draw two new cards!" Kintaro said as two cards spit out of the duel disk.

Kintaro looked at the first one. His face brightened. He drew the next one and couldn't believe it. My father is with me, and this proves it.

"BEHOLD! I tribute my Goblin Attack Force for . . . THE WHITE PALADIN!" Kintaro yelled.

As he placed the card down upon the Disk, the dark clouds that had been creeping towards him faded instantly. A large column of light shot up from the ground in front of Kintaro. A tall armored knight knelt in front of him. It had diamond like armor all over its body, except for its head. He had a large horned silver helmet with a tall red mane. Golden hair flowed from his head like a river. The Paladin then bowed its head to Kintaro and then stood up and turned to Chi.

"Behold my ultimate being, The White Paladin. His holy blade will smite all those before him."

Light/Warrior/Effect
2500/2400

"Next, I'll play the other card I drew, Monster Reborn! I'll use it to revive my Goblin Attack Force!" Kintaro said as he laid down the spell card.

An ankh appeared and shattered into a thousand pieces and reformed into Goblin Attack Force. Chi stared in amazement as the humungous man's stare pierced her cold eyes.

"I'll then activate my White knight's effect and tribute my Despair From The Dark and pay LP until I have only 1000, to destroy all Dark monsters on the field and inflict LP damage equal to their attack points!" Kintaro shouted as he commanded his knight. "It also allows me to destroy all other cards on your field as well!"

The Knight withdrew his massive white blade from the sheath on his back and gripped it with both hands. First, the paladin slashed Despair From The Dark with his sword, which caused the creature to be absorbed into his blade. The paladin then raised his sword in the air and the light that shot out of it pierced the clouds like butter. The light then arched back down and exploded like a bomb on Chi's side of the field.

K 1000 - C 4800

With Pandemonium destroyed, the sky shown blue once again, and the paladin now glowed a bright white in the sun's rays.

"Attack Goblins!" Kintaro shouted.

K 1000 - C 2500

"And my White Paladin, finish her off! SWORD OF CREATION!" Kintaro screamed.

Kintaro watched in much satisfaction as the White Paladin ran across the rooftop and jammed his sword into Chi's chest. The shock from the Disk was immense. Chi fell straight to the ground, motionless. The Duel Disks on both duelists retracted.

K 1000 - C 0000
W - Kintaro Kaiba (2-0) L - Chi McCabe (4-0)

Kintaro could hear cheers from below. People watch on the streets must have seen the victory. Yet another Kaiba innovation was large plasma TV's around the city to show hot-ticket duels. Kintaro had never been anymore angry than he had been before. Whenever someone had dishonored his father's name, he broke out in anger. It had happened before in elementary school when he punched his classmate. Sometimes it scared him, but he seemed to enjoy it.

"I'll be taking this." Kintaro said as he emptied her entire bag of credits into his.

"That makes eighteen credits total." Kintaro said to himself.

The Telecopter had left already. Then Kintaro saw her deck. Let's see how hot you are without this. Kintaro leaned over once more and picked up her deck. He looked at it and grew an evil grin. Walking to the edge of the roof, Kintaro saw a crowd at the base of the mall. Numerous duelists cheered and yelled his name.

"I hope they enjoy my gift to them," Kintaro said evilly.

He then placed the deck in his right hand and threw as hard as he could. Cards spread like a cloud of confetti and sprinkled down upon the crowd. Several people fought over a few cards. Kintaro was pleased to see that almost all the cards were gone in a matter of minutes.

"Well, what to do with these," Kintaro said. He stared at the Mazzera DeVille, Warrior of Zera, and Pandemonium. There were only three hundred DeVille cards in circulation, which makes them very rare. It probably took her awhile to make this deck.

"I think I'll stick to my new road. After all, I'll need to be aggressive to make a decent comeback. I guess the demon has been unleashed," Kintaro said.

He was his normal gritty self again. Not just the washed up loser he had been. Kintaro reached into his pocket and pulled out a lighter. He lit the cards on fire and dropped them on the ground. The beast in him had awakened and he loved it.
