Chapter 13: The Great Ritual Deck, Part 3: Plan Becomes Action
"Make your last move." Dukurorider requested. "Now!"
"Never seen someone in such a hurry to lose." Joey responded. "But if your that worried, I'll play Attrition!" he announced.
"Attrition. What does that thing do?" Dukurorider questioned.
"It will do a lot once I summon Rocket Warrior (1500/1300) to the field! Now Rocket Warrior, reduce his Shinato's attack points!" commanded Joey as the warrior transformed into a rocket and blasted itself at Shinato.
"So you've weakened my monster to 2800 attack points. Can I finish you off now?" he impatiently asked.
"On the contrary, it would be 2800, but thanks to my magic card, your monster gets Rocket Warrior's attack points subtracted from its attack points!" he explained as the card weakened Shinato to 1300 points.
"Now Rocket Warrior, attack and destroy his monster!" Joey stated as the rocket dove straight for and shattered Shinato. (D's LP: 1250)
(One more) Dukurorider thought. "My turn now." He announced, drawing. "I'll set 2 cards face down and summon Tribe Infecting Virus (1600/1100) in defense mode."
"That's your big play?! Rocket Warrior, attack Tribe Infecting Virus!" Joey said as the rocket dove and shattered the virus.
"Now to activate my trap card, Sacrifice Rebirth! Now I can sacrifice Rocket Warrior!" he began as the trap shot a white blast as the rocket, exploding with it on contact. "Now we both draw until we can summon 5 monster cards to the field." He concluded as he kept drawing.
Luckily for Joey, the first 5 cards he drew were all monsters.
"Oh and by the way, any card you draw that isn't a monster card, you must discard. So I summon Fiend Megacyber (2200/1200), Harpie Lady (1300/1400), Harpie's Pet Dragon (2000/2500+300), Goddess with the Third Eye (1200/1000), and Serpent Night Dragon (2350/2400)!" he yelled as his line up of monsters appeared on the field.
"Well then, I'll take to the field Axe Raider (1700/1100), Flame Swordsman (1800/1600), Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000), Time Wizard (500/400), and Island Turtle (1100/2000)! Now, Red Eyes Black Dragon, attack Serpent Night Dragon with Inferno Fire Blast!" Joey commanded as the black dragon launched a blazing stream of scorching flame at the other dragon, blowing it away on contact. (D's LP: 1200)
"Now, I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Joey smiled.
"I knew you'd do something foolish like that. For now you'll fall into my real trap! I activate Elegant Egotist!" he announced as the magic card flipped up. "Now my Harpie Lady becomes the Harpie Lady Sisters! (1950/2100) Plus, as you should know, they power up my dragon by 600 more attack and defense points! (Harpie's Pet Dragon: 2900/3400)
"Now Harpie's Pet Dragon, blow his dragon to ashes!" commanded Dukurorider as the dragon brought together powerful flames overwhelming Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon. (J's LP: 200)
"And next turn I'll be rid of you for good and I can finally escape from this horrid place!" he continued, giving a signal he was finished with his turn.
(Okay. I'm down and this could be my last turn! Come on deck.) Joey silently repeated to himself, and slowly drew. (That's what I'm talkin' bout!) "Say goodbye to all your cards because I activate Raigeki to strike down every monster on your side of the field!" he yelled as five lightning bolts reigned down from the sky, blowing up all 5 of Dukurorider's monsters.
(You have no idea what your helping me do) he thought happily sliding all 5 cards into his graveyard slot.
"Now it's time to finish this! Flame Swordsman attack his life points directly!" Joey commanded as the swordsman unleashed a flaming dragon aiming directly at Dukurorider. It was one foot in front of him.
"Mirror Force!" he yelled as the trap flipped up in the nick of time, absorbing the attack and directing it back at all of Joey's monsters, vaporizing each and every one of them.
"Perfect." Joey thought.
"And now prepare for a creature whose power can be unlimited! I summon to the field. You've just been helping me all along and you don't know it! I activate The Shallow Grave, a magic card that allows us to special summon a monster from our graveyard and summon it to the field in face up defense position. So, I'll take the liberty to take back my almighty Shinato, King of A Higher Plane!" he explained as the monster removed the lid of it's coffin and flew to an open space and folded its wings into a defensive stance.
"Well then I'll revive Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000)." Joey declared as the dragon opened its own lid and folded its wings, opposite Shinato.
"Now Joey prepare to meet a creature with power way higher than anything in your pitiful deck could comprehend with! I sacrifice Shinato to summon Shadow Ghoul (1600/1300)." Announced Dukurorider as the fairy was encased in a black dome. When the dome died down, an ugly green ghoul with white pincers stood in its place.
"And as you should know, Shadow Ghoul gains 100 attack points for every card in my graveyard!" he yelled as the ghoul's power rose to 3700.
"Now Shadow Ghoul, attack Red Eyes Black Dragon!" commanded Dukurorider as the monster clawed down the dragon, who screeched in response before shattering.
"And I'll set two cards face down and end my turn" He said, proud of his ghoulish monster. Joey drew.
"I'll play Scapegoat!" Joey instantly stated, as four colored sheep tokens appeared on Joey's side of the field.
"My turn now." Dukurorider confirmed. "And I think I'll activate my trap card, Virus Cannon! This card forces you to discard the top 10 magic cards off your deck." He explained as Joey's duel disk spat out 10 cards which he angrily snatched and crammed into his graveyard slot.
"Wait! I think I'll activate my second trap card, Detour! This card forces all cards you send to the graveyard this turn to come to my own graveyard!" he explained as images of the ten cards appeared in Dukurorider's graveyard.
"And you know what that means Mr. Wheeler! With your 10 magic cards and my 2 trap cards, my monster gains 1200 attack points, bringing its total to a destructive 4900! Shadow Ghoul attack one of his scapegoats now!" commanded Dukurorider as the massive claw crushed the yellow goat.
"And now I play Monster Reborn, to revive Shinato, King of A Higher Plane again!" Dukurorider announced as the fairy reappeared from the magic card. "And just like last time I'll sacrifice Shinato to summon Labyrinth Wall (0/3000)" he explained as a maze covered the entire field.
"Not another Labyrinth field. Oh well, I'll summon Battle Warrior (700/1000) in defense mode and end my turn." Joey sadly said.
Dukurorider didn't even draw. "Now I activate Magical Labyrinth! And by sacrificing my Labyrinth Wall that's equipped with Magical Labyrinth, I can special summon a Wall Shadow (1600/3000)!" he explained as the labyrinth shattered and a demon, resembling shadow ghoul but more demon like appeared next to Shadow Ghoul. "And don't forget, that's 200 more attack points for Shadow Ghoul." He added. The two monsters seemed unmistakably alike. "And now behold a card on the field that I set from the very beginning! Reveal Polymerization. Fuse Shadow Ghoul and Wall Shadow!" he declared as the monsters came together.
"I've created the Black Shadow (0/0)! This monster gains 500 attack points for every card in my graveyard!" he explained as the monster's stats shot to an immense 18500.
"Black Shadow, attack and wipe out another Scapegoat!" he commanded as the monster formed a black ball of evil electric energy and shot it at the red goat, creating an enormous explosion that almost blew Joey off the bridge.
Joey drew. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn." He simply said as Dukurorider looked on sort of shocked.
"Oh well. Black Shadow attack Battle Warrior!" he yelled as the electric energy ball blew up the warrior. "I end my move."
Joey drew again. "I activate Graceful Charity!" he announced as he drew 3 cards, and then discarded 2. (Not what I needed.) he thought, and grabbed a card from his hand. "I get to draw again with my Pot of Greed card!" he added and drew 2 cards.
(There we go.) Joey thought. "I set one card face down and end my turn." He said.
Dukurorider drew, annoyed by Joey's stalling. "Why won't you just do something stupid like you always do in a duel!??! Don't think I don't know about your foolish first move in Battle City, when you tried to summon Giltia on your first move. Or what about the time when in the Battle City Finals you thought you could easily defeat your opponent, Rishid, by trying to rid the field of his four face down cards and he turned your own assault against you!" he furiously burst as Joey smiled.
"There may be some foolish things I've done in my duels, but there's always been good moves. Like way back in Duelist Kingdom, when I dueled Bones and his zombie army, I remember playing Battle Warrior and Shield and Sword card, and blowing away his monsters. Or the second time I was trapped in a virtual world when I dueled Johnson in that courtroom. I pulled reverse psychology on him when I activated my Painful Decisions magic card! That card won me my duel!" Joey retorted.
"Anyway" interrupted Dukurorider, "I'll draw. Now Black Shadow attack and wipe out his third Scapegoat!" he commanded as the third ball of energy blew up a 3rd goat. "And next I'll activate these two cards, Twin Swords, and my face down trap card, Imperial Decree! First, Twin Swords allows me to attack twice if there is a monster left on the field! Now, Black Shadow attack again and wipe out his last defense!" he commanded once more as the black ball exploded with the last goat. "And next, Imperial Decree will not allow you to normal or flip summon a monster during your next turn!" he laughed. "You are finished! Unless there's some magical way you can summon a monster with 20000 attack points, I'm pretty sure you might want to give up. I mean you could be killed by my monster's attack. And I'd want to get rid of you myself!" he chuckled.
Joey drew and heavily sighed, but soon his frown turned into a wide smirk. "Actually I think I am about to take you down! And it all starts with this card! Monster Reborn!" he announced holding the card in the air before slapping it down onto the proper slot.
"Revive Red Eyes Black Dragon!" he said as the dragon roared back onto the scene.
"And now to finish you off! First, I activate Metalmorph to transform my monster into the all powerful Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon (2800/2400)!" he explained as the monster became a deadly machine dragon.
"Are you ready Dukurorider? This one card I'm about to activate will decide the fate of this duel! Reveal, Devil's Comedian!" he declared as the card flipped up along with a giant coin.
"If I call this right, all the cards in your graveyard will be removed from play, dropping your Black Shadow's attack power back to zero. And if I call it wrong, then I have to discard half of the cards you have in your graveyard, and as you can see, I would run out of cards, so I'd automatically lose. It all rides on this!" he yelled. "Flip coin!"
The devil threw the coin in the air, which began flipping. As soon as it reached the height of it's throw, Joey yelled "Tails!" The coin flipped down and down until it reached the bridge, creating a screen of dust and an enormous THUMP. When the smoke cleared, all looked at the coin which was.tails.
"YEAH!" Joey exclaimed as the Black Shadow shrunk down to its original size and it's power back to zero.
(No!) thought Dukurorider. (I've got no cards in my hand and no cards face down to protect me. I've lost!) he furiously thought.
"Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon, attack his Black Shadow and win this duel! Flash Flare Blast!" he commanded, pointing at the target. The dragon unleashed a devastating red and black blast at the shadow, completely melting it and concluding the duel. (D's LP: 0)
"No! I had you beaten!" Dukurorider yelled. "My Five God Dragon, Shinato, and Black Shadow! They all failed me." He wept, as he faded off into the distance. As soon as he was gone, the bridge lowered, and Joey headed towards the other way. He came to a water area with a Cuban Deluxe 5, the fastest boat in the virtual world. He jumped in it and started it up, as soon as the engine was on the boat sped off.
"Well.maybe going wherever this boat is supposed to will get me out of here." He thought and settled in for a nice boat ride.

Chapter 13: The Great Ritual Deck, Part 3: Plan Becomes Action
"Make your last move." Dukurorider requested. "Now!"
"Never seen someone in such a hurry to lose." Joey responded. "But if your that worried, I'll play Attrition!" he announced.
"Attrition. What does that thing do?" Dukurorider questioned.
"It will do a lot once I summon Rocket Warrior (1500/1300) to the field! Now Rocket Warrior, reduce his Shinato's attack points!" commanded Joey as the warrior transformed into a rocket and blasted itself at Shinato.
"So you've weakened my monster to 2800 attack points. Can I finish you off now?" he impatiently asked.
"On the contrary, it would be 2800, but thanks to my magic card, your monster gets Rocket Warrior's attack points subtracted from its attack points!" he explained as the card weakened Shinato to 1300 points.
"Now Rocket Warrior, attack and destroy his monster!" Joey stated as the rocket dove straight for and shattered Shinato. (D's LP: 1250)
(One more) Dukurorider thought. "My turn now." He announced, drawing. "I'll set 2 cards face down and summon Tribe Infecting Virus (1600/1100) in defense mode."
"That's your big play?! Rocket Warrior, attack Tribe Infecting Virus!" Joey said as the rocket dove and shattered the virus.
"Now to activate my trap card, Sacrifice Rebirth! Now I can sacrifice Rocket Warrior!" he began as the trap shot a white blast as the rocket, exploding with it on contact. "Now we both draw until we can summon 5 monster cards to the field." He concluded as he kept drawing.
Luckily for Joey, the first 5 cards he drew were all monsters.
"Oh and by the way, any card you draw that isn't a monster card, you must discard. So I summon Fiend Megacyber (2200/1200), Harpie Lady (1300/1400), Harpie's Pet Dragon (2000/2500+300), Goddess with the Third Eye (1200/1000), and Serpent Night Dragon (2350/2400)!" he yelled as his line up of monsters appeared on the field.
"Well then, I'll take to the field Axe Raider (1700/1100), Flame Swordsman (1800/1600), Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000), Time Wizard (500/400), and Island Turtle (1100/2000)! Now, Red Eyes Black Dragon, attack Serpent Night Dragon with Inferno Fire Blast!" Joey commanded as the black dragon launched a blazing stream of scorching flame at the other dragon, blowing it away on contact. (D's LP: 1200)
"Now, I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Joey smiled.
"I knew you'd do something foolish like that. For now you'll fall into my real trap! I activate Elegant Egotist!" he announced as the magic card flipped up. "Now my Harpie Lady becomes the Harpie Lady Sisters! (1950/2100) Plus, as you should know, they power up my dragon by 600 more attack and defense points! (Harpie's Pet Dragon: 2900/3400)
"Now Harpie's Pet Dragon, blow his dragon to ashes!" commanded Dukurorider as the dragon brought together powerful flames overwhelming Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon. (J's LP: 200)
"And next turn I'll be rid of you for good and I can finally escape from this horrid place!" he continued, giving a signal he was finished with his turn.
(Okay. I'm down and this could be my last turn! Come on deck.) Joey silently repeated to himself, and slowly drew. (That's what I'm talkin' bout!) "Say goodbye to all your cards because I activate Raigeki to strike down every monster on your side of the field!" he yelled as five lightning bolts reigned down from the sky, blowing up all 5 of Dukurorider's monsters.
(You have no idea what your helping me do) he thought happily sliding all 5 cards into his graveyard slot.
"Now it's time to finish this! Flame Swordsman attack his life points directly!" Joey commanded as the swordsman unleashed a flaming dragon aiming directly at Dukurorider. It was one foot in front of him.
"Mirror Force!" he yelled as the trap flipped up in the nick of time, absorbing the attack and directing it back at all of Joey's monsters, vaporizing each and every one of them.
"Perfect." Joey thought.
"And now prepare for a creature whose power can be unlimited! I summon to the field. You've just been helping me all along and you don't know it! I activate The Shallow Grave, a magic card that allows us to special summon a monster from our graveyard and summon it to the field in face up defense position. So, I'll take the liberty to take back my almighty Shinato, King of A Higher Plane!" he explained as the monster removed the lid of it's coffin and flew to an open space and folded its wings into a defensive stance.
"Well then I'll revive Red Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000)." Joey declared as the dragon opened its own lid and folded its wings, opposite Shinato.
"Now Joey prepare to meet a creature with power way higher than anything in your pitiful deck could comprehend with! I sacrifice Shinato to summon Shadow Ghoul (1600/1300)." Announced Dukurorider as the fairy was encased in a black dome. When the dome died down, an ugly green ghoul with white pincers stood in its place.
"And as you should know, Shadow Ghoul gains 100 attack points for every card in my graveyard!" he yelled as the ghoul's power rose to 3700.
"Now Shadow Ghoul, attack Red Eyes Black Dragon!" commanded Dukurorider as the monster clawed down the dragon, who screeched in response before shattering.
"And I'll set two cards face down and end my turn" He said, proud of his ghoulish monster. Joey drew.
"I'll play Scapegoat!" Joey instantly stated, as four colored sheep tokens appeared on Joey's side of the field.
"My turn now." Dukurorider confirmed. "And I think I'll activate my trap card, Virus Cannon! This card forces you to discard the top 10 magic cards off your deck." He explained as Joey's duel disk spat out 10 cards which he angrily snatched and crammed into his graveyard slot.
"Wait! I think I'll activate my second trap card, Detour! This card forces all cards you send to the graveyard this turn to come to my own graveyard!" he explained as images of the ten cards appeared in Dukurorider's graveyard.
"And you know what that means Mr. Wheeler! With your 10 magic cards and my 2 trap cards, my monster gains 1200 attack points, bringing its total to a destructive 4900! Shadow Ghoul attack one of his scapegoats now!" commanded Dukurorider as the massive claw crushed the yellow goat.
"And now I play Monster Reborn, to revive Shinato, King of A Higher Plane again!" Dukurorider announced as the fairy reappeared from the magic card. "And just like last time I'll sacrifice Shinato to summon Labyrinth Wall (0/3000)" he explained as a maze covered the entire field.
"Not another Labyrinth field. Oh well, I'll summon Battle Warrior (700/1000) in defense mode and end my turn." Joey sadly said.
Dukurorider didn't even draw. "Now I activate Magical Labyrinth! And by sacrificing my Labyrinth Wall that's equipped with Magical Labyrinth, I can special summon a Wall Shadow (1600/3000)!" he explained as the labyrinth shattered and a demon, resembling shadow ghoul but more demon like appeared next to Shadow Ghoul. "And don't forget, that's 200 more attack points for Shadow Ghoul." He added. The two monsters seemed unmistakably alike. "And now behold a card on the field that I set from the very beginning! Reveal Polymerization. Fuse Shadow Ghoul and Wall Shadow!" he declared as the monsters came together.
"I've created the Black Shadow (0/0)! This monster gains 500 attack points for every card in my graveyard!" he explained as the monster's stats shot to an immense 18500.
"Black Shadow, attack and wipe out another Scapegoat!" he commanded as the monster formed a black ball of evil electric energy and shot it at the red goat, creating an enormous explosion that almost blew Joey off the bridge.
Joey drew. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn." He simply said as Dukurorider looked on sort of shocked.
"Oh well. Black Shadow attack Battle Warrior!" he yelled as the electric energy ball blew up the warrior. "I end my move."
Joey drew again. "I activate Graceful Charity!" he announced as he drew 3 cards, and then discarded 2. (Not what I needed.) he thought, and grabbed a card from his hand. "I get to draw again with my Pot of Greed card!" he added and drew 2 cards.
(There we go.) Joey thought. "I set one card face down and end my turn." He said.
Dukurorider drew, annoyed by Joey's stalling. "Why won't you just do something stupid like you always do in a duel!??! Don't think I don't know about your foolish first move in Battle City, when you tried to summon Giltia on your first move. Or what about the time when in the Battle City Finals you thought you could easily defeat your opponent, Rishid, by trying to rid the field of his four face down cards and he turned your own assault against you!" he furiously burst as Joey smiled.
"There may be some foolish things I've done in my duels, but there's always been good moves. Like way back in Duelist Kingdom, when I dueled Bones and his zombie army, I remember playing Battle Warrior and Shield and Sword card, and blowing away his monsters. Or the second time I was trapped in a virtual world when I dueled Johnson in that courtroom. I pulled reverse psychology on him when I activated my Painful Decisions magic card! That card won me my duel!" Joey retorted.
"Anyway" interrupted Dukurorider, "I'll draw. Now Black Shadow attack and wipe out his third Scapegoat!" he commanded as the third ball of energy blew up a 3rd goat. "And next I'll activate these two cards, Twin Swords, and my face down trap card, Imperial Decree! First, Twin Swords allows me to attack twice if there is a monster left on the field! Now, Black Shadow attack again and wipe out his last defense!" he commanded once more as the black ball exploded with the last goat. "And next, Imperial Decree will not allow you to normal or flip summon a monster during your next turn!" he laughed. "You are finished! Unless there's some magical way you can summon a monster with 20000 attack points, I'm pretty sure you might want to give up. I mean you could be killed by my monster's attack. And I'd want to get rid of you myself!" he chuckled.
Joey drew and heavily sighed, but soon his frown turned into a wide smirk. "Actually I think I am about to take you down! And it all starts with this card! Monster Reborn!" he announced holding the card in the air before slapping it down onto the proper slot.
"Revive Red Eyes Black Dragon!" he said as the dragon roared back onto the scene.
"And now to finish you off! First, I activate Metalmorph to transform my monster into the all powerful Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon (2800/2400)!" he explained as the monster became a deadly machine dragon.
"Are you ready Dukurorider? This one card I'm about to activate will decide the fate of this duel! Reveal, Devil's Comedian!" he declared as the card flipped up along with a giant coin.
"If I call this right, all the cards in your graveyard will be removed from play, dropping your Black Shadow's attack power back to zero. And if I call it wrong, then I have to discard half of the cards you have in your graveyard, and as you can see, I would run out of cards, so I'd automatically lose. It all rides on this!" he yelled. "Flip coin!"
The devil threw the coin in the air, which began flipping. As soon as it reached the height of it's throw, Joey yelled "Tails!" The coin flipped down and down until it reached the bridge, creating a screen of dust and an enormous THUMP. When the smoke cleared, all looked at the coin which was.tails.
"YEAH!" Joey exclaimed as the Black Shadow shrunk down to its original size and it's power back to zero.
(No!) thought Dukurorider. (I've got no cards in my hand and no cards face down to protect me. I've lost!) he furiously thought.
"Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon, attack his Black Shadow and win this duel! Flash Flare Blast!" he commanded, pointing at the target. The dragon unleashed a devastating red and black blast at the shadow, completely melting it and concluding the duel. (D's LP: 0)
"No! I had you beaten!" Dukurorider yelled. "My Five God Dragon, Shinato, and Black Shadow! They all failed me." He wept, as he faded off into the distance. As soon as he was gone, the bridge lowered, and Joey headed towards the other way. He came to a water area with a Cuban Deluxe 5, the fastest boat in the virtual world. He jumped in it and started it up, as soon as the engine was on the boat sped off.
"Well.maybe going wherever this boat is supposed to will get me out of here." He thought and settled in for a nice boat ride.
