THE MOST POWERFUL CARDS REVEALED

The popular card game Duel Monsters has been the spark of many different strange happenings.

And the most recent set of occurrences has brought out lots of controversy amongst critics and experts of the game alike.

Shadow Corporation, one of the top leaders in military hardware, held a Duel Monsters Tournament on an island located off the coast of Japan. The island was originally a holding camp for mentally unstable criminals, hence its nickname, The Asylum.

There was no definite winner of the tournament because in the finals the two teams, Team Topdeck (Daniel Pilkington, Deondre Anderson, and CJ Anderson) and Team Domino (Yugi Moto, Seto Kaiba, and Joey Wheeler) ended up with one win, one loss, and one tie.

The organizer of the tournament, Giovan Garlin, then dueled Daniel Pilkington and Yugi Moto in a two on one duel. In the end the final blow was struck by Pilkington, using an incredibly powerful card to do the job.

Legendary Weapon Card-Howling Sword

Equipment magic card

Effect: Increase the equipped monster's attack power by 1000, and then double its current attack power. If the equipped monster is sacrificed to summon a monster through tribute or through any effect then equip this card to the new monster. This effect can only be used by the original owner of this card.

Using this card Pilkington struck down Garlin. There has been no comment by Pilkington thus far on where this card has come from.

MYSTERIOUS CARD IN OWNERSHIP OF WORLD CLASS DUELIST

In a follow-up to yesterday's report on the shadow tournament, we have new information concerning the strange cards have been reported there. Daniel Pilkington is once again connected to these strange cards. After gathering information, we have found out that through the databases of the shadow corporation a new card that has not been printed by any know group of legal and printers.

Hell Meteor

Normal magic card

Effect: Deal your opponent 4000 life points of direct damage.

This card, according to sources, is currently in the possession of Pilkington, who is a resident of Las Vegas, NV in the United States.

Meadows Mall; Las Vegas, NV

"Yeah, can I please have six number seven orders?" A hand reached out and deposited a twenty dollar bill in the hands of the McDonald's employee.

Daniel Pilkington brushed back his long messy red hair and shoved his hands into his pockets, walking back towards his table. His brown eyes glanced around him for a moment, taking in the sights and smells of the world he lived in. A world free of nightmares like Giovan Garlin. ("Man…I'm glad that whole Shadow Tournament is completely done.") Straightening a few wrinkles in his blue t-shirt and jeans, he took a deep breath and felt his worries disappear.

As he approached his table he had to smile at what he heard. "My heart was beating in my chest. With that Deck Destruction effect in play all of my strong monsters were already in my graveyard. I was just left with my D.D. Scout Plane and a few other weak cards…"

The speaker was Deondre Anderson, one of Daniel's best friends. The dark-skinned boy readjusted his baseball bat and smirked, his basketball jersey ruffling in the air conditioned food court of the mall. "And what was more; Kaiba had one of his Blue-Eyes White Dragons already in play. I was completely pinned down, unable to do little more than stand back and play defensively." All around the table sat Daniel's other friends, some not even paying attention to him.

Janeam, wearing a black t-shirt and shorts, rolled his eyes and put his head into his palm. "You must be delusional. Playing defensively…" He snorted. "I watched you on the TV. You were barely staying alive during that duel."

"What?" Deondre punched his fist into the air. "If you were watching then you saw how I completely annihilated Kaiba with his own dragons! It was a work of art and you know it!"

"Yeah right…" Janeam glanced over at the approaching Daniel. "I'm more impressed with the fact that Daniel had actually managed to not only defeat the organizer of the tournament, but had also dueled the King of Games to a draw. Considering how little experience he had, it's a miracle that he pulled it off."

Deondre growled low in his throat. He knew exactly how Daniel had done all of that, and he knew that Daniel honestly didn't deserve any praise. It was all the accomplishment of Rikuo Amero, the demon spirit living within him. "Yeah…it was a miracle alright."

Rebecca Pilkington brushed back some of her blonde hair and grinned at her older brother. "You're such a dork, bro."

"Hey, what did I do?" Daniel frowned, his cheeks flushing red as he realized he was the topic of conversation. "I just put my best effort into it, nothing more."

"Yeah right…" She dead-panned. It was no secret to her about Rikuo.

Allon Sadyaa smirked at the blushing Daniel. "I agree with Janeam, it was a miracle. There is no other way to explain how you managed to not get run over by Yugi Moto."

"Honestly, don't you guys have anything better to do than talk about me?" Daniel looked away, his cheeks glowing red. He was blushing more though because of what he heard in his head. Rikuo was laughing his ass off. ("I hate you Rikuo…")

More laughter echoed in his head. ("I hate you too, my ningen.")

"Hey Daniel…can we see that Howling Sword card?" The question had come from Janeam.

Daniel froze up. ("Rikuo?")

("No. The human may not look upon my sword.")

"I'm sorry," He shook his head. "I can't…" His eyes widened as he felt someone tug his deck box off from his belt. "Hey!"

Rebecca popped open the box and pulled out a card, throwing it across the table to Janeam. "Here you go."

Janeam caught the gold-bordered card and whistled in amazement. "Wow…this thing is incredible. Where did you get it?"

Daniel glared at his sister and then snatched the card right out of Janeam's hand. "I got it from people."

Rebecca rolled her eyes. "Are you afraid of your cards? Why don't you show us your ultimate card?"

Daniel's blush disappeared and was replaced by a pale white expression. "W…what card?"

"The Hell Meteor." She tilted her head to the side. "There's no other card in the world like it. I mean…it deals 4000 life points of damage to whoever you use it on."

Janeam and Allon both went slack-jawed at him, while Deondre stared at her like she was insane. "What are you doing?"

Daniel shivered a couple of times and looked down at his deck box. A slow tremble ran up his arm. ("The Hell Meteor…") A couple drops of sweat dripped down his temple.

Daniel screamed as he felt the flames around him sear deep into his flesh. No matter how hard he tried he could not get away from it. It didn't matter where he ran to, the fire always found him. He heard a voice laughing in distance, but that was the last thing on his mind...

Rebecca stared at Daniel, whose eyes were a very dull shade of red. "Daniel? Are you okay?"

He looked down at the box…and slowly opened the box top, sliding a card out slowly. ("It's there…the power to destroy it all…") Another sweat drop slid down his cheek. ("The power of death…")

One of the TVs overlooking the food court flickered and a huge 'Exclusive Report' came up on the screen. The picture changed to that of a reporter standing in a parking lot. "Ladies and gentlemen, we're sorry to interrupt your current programming but we have a special news report for you."

Everyone snapped their heads up to look at the screen. Everyone except Daniel, who was still sliding that card slowly out of his deck box.

"We're currently outside the Meadows Mall here in downtown Las Vegas with a special report for all of you fans of Duel Monsters out there."

Quite a few of the people around the mall looked up at the different screens.

The reporter was walking towards the doors of the mall. "World Class Duelist Daniel Pilkington, who won the worldwide Shadow Tournament just a few days ago, is currently in this mall. And we're going to try to get an interview with him." He blinked in surprise behind the camera. "Hey! This is my story not…" Someone shoved the camera aside and it fell, breaking and replacing the image on the screen with white snow.

The ground started to shake, like an earthquake was gathering beneath everyone.

Deondre, Janeam, Allon and Rebecca all paled. Then they all looked at Daniel.

He just stood there, his body trembling as memories of the Hell Meteor came through mental blockades in his mind. ("No…not again…help me…") Dropping to his knees, he clutched at his head while he deck box fell to the ground with a clatter.

Deondre nearly smacked Rebecca in the back of the head, but restrained himself. "You just had to mention the Meteor, didn't you?" The rumbling got louder, and the sound of dozens of sets of feet could be heard in the not-so-far distance. Helping Daniel to his feet, he looked at Allon and Janeam. "Buy us time guys." Grabbing the deck box and Daniel's backpack, he helped the boy walk away from the food court.

The tidal wave of reporters flowed into the food court, looking around for Daniel. "Where is he?"

Allon pointed the opposite direction that Deondre had gone. "That way! Hurry, he's heading for his car!" And then he had to leap aside while the reporters flowed past him.

Deondre and Rebecca held up Daniel, dragging him down the walkways. "We have to hurry…" Another rumbling shook the floor. "Now what?" Deondre looked over the railing and farther down the mall. "Oh my god…"

There was a mob of people charging towards them, and each one of those people was wearing a Duel Disk.

Deondre groaned and removed his duel disk from his backpack. "Listen…find someone to hide him for now. I'll keep these guys busy."

Rebecca nodded and dragged him away.

Deondre activated his duel disk. "Hold it!" The crowd slowed down right in front of him. "What's the deal? You guys want to duel?"

"We're here to challenge Daniel Pilkington to an ante duel for the Hell Meteor and Howling Sword cards!" One of the apparent leaders of the pack, a huge man wearing a leather jacket with a crew-cut nearly stepped right through the dark-skinned young man. "Now get out of our way! Those cards are worth a lot of money, and I'll be the one to win it!"

Deondre grimaced. ("I can fight…but I can't fight them all.") "It isn't going to happen! Don't you know there is a test to challenge the great Daniel Pilkington?" He snapped up a finger to point right at the man's nose. "Well first you have the other members of Team Topdeck to do it!"

"Fine, then I'll duel you!" The man stepped back and everyone moved aside. His duel disk clicked into place. "Duel!"

Deondre- 8000

Man- 8000

Deondre snapped six cards off of his deck. Looking at his hand he slapped down two cards. "I summon D.D. Scout Plane (800/1200) and then special summon Dimensional Doppelganger (800/1200) which copies one monster that I normal summon if it has Dimension or D.D. in its name!" A strange machine appeared on the field and alongside it another machine appeared. "End turn."

The man drew. "I summon Manju of the Ten-Thousand Hands (1400/1000) in attack mode!" A hideous grey monster appeared on the field. "When normal summoned, this monster lets me take a ritual magic card from my deck to my hand." He held up a card from his deck. "I activate Zera Ritual!" A card from his hand disappeared. "I sacrifice eight level stars worth of monsters…" Manju disappeared. "And summon Zera the Mant!" (2800/2000) A giant blue demon appeared on the field and roared at Deondre. "Attack Dimensional Doppelganger now!" It snapped across the short distance between them and slashed through the machine, blowing it apart. "Also, I set one card face-down on the field. End turn!"

Deondre drew. "I play Pot of Greed!" A large smiling green vase appeared on the field. "I draw two cards!" Holding up the extra two cards, he smirked at what he saw. "Alright, I drew the perfect card! Go Cost Down!" A card from his hand disappeared. "By sacrificing one card from my hand I can lower the level of all monsters in my hand and on my field by two stars!"

The man snickered. "Zera will crush you…"

"Yeah right." Deondre pointed at the D.D. Scout Plane. "I sacrifice my monster to summon Dark Magician (2500/2100) in attack mode!" A purple-robed spellcaster appeared on the field in place of the machine. "Also, I play the magic card Magical Silk Hats!" A huge black top-hat fell over the field and concealed the magician. Then it turned into four hats. "Four Magical Silk Hat Tokens (0/0) are summoned to the field. The Magician is concealed under one of those hats. Finally, I set two cards face-down on the field underneath two separate hats. End turn." Now he had no cards in his hand, but his plan was set now.

The man drew. "You're a fool! I play Heavy Storm! This card will destroy all magic and trap cards in play!" An explosion of wind shattered the hats, his set card, and Deondre's two set cards. All that was left was their monsters. "Also, I summon La Jinn the Magical Genie of the Lamp (1800/1000) in attack mode!" A green Genie appeared on the field. "That isn't all though, because I play the magic card Tribute to the Doomed! By discarding one card from my hand I can destroy one monster in play!" An explosion of mummy wrapping swallowed up the Magician and pulled it out of sight.

Deondre ground his teeth.

"Direct attack!" The man's two monsters flew forwards and slammed right into Deondre, sending him stumbling backwards. "I have no cards in my hand, so my turn is done."

Deondre- 3400

Man- 8000

Deondre slowly lifted his head to reveal a calm smile on his face. "Draw!" He held the card up. "You just did exactly what I was hoping you would do!"

"You wanted me to destroy your set cards?" The man narrowed his eyes. "Why?"

"Because the cards I set can only be activated from the graveyard! First is the magic card Pulled from Reality! This card lets me take two monsters from my deck and remove them from play!" Two cards in his deck dissolved into dust. "Also, I play Soul Release from my hand to remove Dark Magician, D.D. Scout Plane and Dimensional Doppelganger from the game." A white mist came from his graveyard slot. "Now for the final blow! My graveyard trap is Trap Scouter! This card removes itself from the game at the cost of half of my life points to let me play one trap from my deck during this turn!"

Deondre- 1700

Man- 8000

Deondre removed a card from his deck and held it up. "My trap card is Return from a Different Dimension! At the cost of half of my life points I can return as many removed from play monsters as I can from one player's removed from play pile!" A hole opened up in the sky. "Return now!"

The Dark Magician lowered down, and alongside it a pair of metal futuristic suits of armor. And then behind them the Dimensional Doppelganger (800/1200) and D.D. Scout Plane (800/1200) returned to play. "I chose to remove D.D. Crushers (0/0) from my deck! These monsters can be sacrificed to destroy one monster in play and deal its attack in damage to its owner!" Both of them started to make a humming noise.

"Oh no!" The man stumbled back, eyes wide. "You…"

"I've won! Explosion Hammer!" The two suits of armor tackled Zera and La Jinn, blowing them apart. "Dark Magician, D.D. Scout Plane, and Dimensional Doppelganger attack directly!" All three of his remaining monsters released blasts of energy that hit the man and send him to the ground.

Deondre- 1700

Man- 0

As the holograms faded away the man stood up and growled angrily. "Why you little…I don't care about some stupid test duel against you anyway! My target is Pilkington!" He charged, ready to bowl Deondre over.

Deondre frowned as the rest of the duelists started to charge along with him. ("I can't stop all of them…") Cocking back his fist, he smiled slightly. "But I'll break your chin at least, big man."

Suddenly someone shoved past him and head-butted the man, breaking his nose and sending him to the ground. The rest of the mob slid to a stop in complete amazement at the giant dark-skinned man in front of them.

CJ Anderson cracked his knuckles. "Who wants to duel next?"

A man in a business suit stepped forward. "You'll be dueling me!"

CJ smirked and lifted his arm to reveal his duel disk and deck already in place. "I love it. And here I thought clothes shopping were going to suck today."

Deondre sighed. "How is it that a guy as big as you just manages to appear out of nowhere?"

Break in film.

To LucienShadowMaster: Sestros is a king. Why would he be out in battle when he could have Rikuo do it for him? It's a vision.

To Demon Fan: Don't compare Star Wars to my story please. A mid-air clash of swords is an anime trademark actually, so therefore Star Wars would have copied it from them if there was to be some kind of stupid copyright suit.

To Time Mage: It's a demon method of making weapons and its magic. Hence yes, the Howling Sword can weight a lot. At least enough to the point that if you aren't a demon and you try to wield it you wouldn't be able to.
