Demon Duelist Legacy Movie 1; The Heretic's Rebirth
Rebecca dragged Daniel out of immediate sight and collapsed, currently strained to her limit from carrying him around. "Come on Daniel, snap out of it already." She shook him a few times. "Or at least tell me that Rikuo is going to wake up and deal with those duelist jerks. I don't think Deondre can do it alone."
Daniel's eyes were currently staring into space, the irises dead black.
Her hand slapped across his cheek. "Would someone please answer me?"
There was no response though. Nothing but a momentary whisper of air escaping lips.
CJ snapped up his hand. "Draw!" Glancing at the drawn card he looked at the field and his opponent's monsters. ("Here goes nothing…")
CJ- 400
Opponent- 3400
His opponent, the man in the business suit, currently had XYZ Dragon Cannon (2800/2600) on the field and no other cards in his hand.
CJ had two cards in his hand, including the card he had drawn. ("Hmmm…I think I've got this.") "First I play the magic card Monster Reborn! I revive Twin-Headed Beast (1700/1500) to the field." A two-headed lion-like beast that was on fire appeared on the field and roared at the man and his machine. "Also, Riryoku! This card takes half of your monsters attack points and gives them to my monster for the turn." (3100/1500) "Direct attack!" The lion monster tackled the machine and blew it apart. (1400/2600)
CJ- 400
Opponent- 1800
The man reached for his deck, but gasped in pain as the beast tackled him again.
CJ shook a finger in the air. "Twin-Headed Beast can attack two times per battle phase."
CJ- 400
Opponent- 0
Rebecca shook Daniel again and growled. "Get up…"
His eyes lit up brown and he pushed her away. "Ow…what happened?"
"You had a nice little psychotic episode!" She slapped him again. "And now Deondre is dueling a bunch of crazy people all alone!"
He stood up weakly. "I'm…kind of dizzy right now…so let me rest for the moment." A weak sigh escaped his lips and he started to drop.
Rebecca leapt to catch him, but her eyes widened as in mid-fall his hair exploded out behind him like a wave of water. His hands sprouted claws and he pushed off the floor, returning to a standing position without losing a beat. "Keh, stupid human. He actually is still that badly affected by the Hell Meteor."
"Rikuo…." Rebecca said breathlessly, stepping back slowly.
The wolf demon, a pair of red-furred wolf ears on top of his head, turned to look at her with his gold-amber eyes. "Hello. So, are the humans still chasing us?"
"No, Deondre stopped them from…but we still have to help…" She stared at him as he turned and wandered away. "Where are you going?"
"The not-so-dumb ape will be fine." The wolf demon grumbled in frustration and tore open a hole in the back of his pants, his tail popping free. "Stupid human clothing…"
Deondre looked down at his deck and then up at his opponent's field. ("Fifth opponent…and still no end in sight!")
His new opponent, a boy in a green jumpsuit stepped forward. "I am Kyo! Duel!" His deck clicked into place.
Kyo- 8000
Deondre- 8000
Kyo drew. "I begin with the magic card Forbidden Summon! One monster from my hand can be special summoned regardless of requirements if I discard a hand of four or more cards!" He took a single card from his hand and discarded his remaining four cards. "I summon End Bringer!" (4000/0) A giant worm exploded out of the ground. "When this card is summoned both players shuffle their hands back into their deck."
Deondre gasped as his five cards disappeared back to where they had come from. ("Damn it….")
Kyo pointed at Deondre. "End Bringer can attack during the first turn! Worm Slash!" It shot out a single blade that slashed right through Deondre's chest. "End turn."
Kyo- 8000
Deondre- 4000
Deondre looked down at his deck again. "You want to play dirty?" Snapping the top card off of his deck, he smirked. "Well let me give you a taste of reality! And reality is that I'm the Dimension Duelist. You can't beat me! From my hand I activate the magic card Alternate Dimension Duel! This card switches our fields for one turn!" End Bringer teleported to his field. "By the way….we switch life point totals! End Bringer, attack with Worm Slash!" Another cutter left the worm's mouth and slashed through Kyo's chest.
Kyo- 0
Deondre- 8000
As the field faded another duelist stepped forward. And CJ stepped forward too.
Rikuo wandered around the mall for a little while, growling at anyone who stared at him too long. ("Damned humans…")
"Hey, there he is!" A low rumble shook the mall floor.
The wolf demon narrowed his eyes and glanced behind him, nearly blinded by the sudden thousands of blasts from flash-bulbs. "What in the hell?" Trying to rub the spots from his eyes Rikuo back-stepped. The rumbling kept coming towards him. "Insolent human specks!" The claws of right hand started to glow light blue. "I'll kill you all!"
The reporters all slid to a stop, staring the ferocious figure in front of them.
As Rikuo's vision returned, he sneered coldly and started to walk towards them. "Oh little humans…let's play…"
CJ- 8000
Pierre- 8000
CJ drew. "I start with Enraged Battle Ox (1700/1000) in attack mode!" A red-faced Minotaur appeared on his field. "End turn!"
Pierre twirled one part of his black moustache and smirked. "It's the time for the great Pierre to get to work! I summon Spin Controller!" (1800/1000) A red-armored warrior holding a Yo-Yo in both hands appeared on the field. "Attack Enraged Battle Ox! Also, I activate the quickplay magic card Destruction Spin! When Spin Controller deals you life point damage I can discard one card from my deck to force you to do the same! Also, I activate another quickplay magic card. Go Endless Crush! This card allows Destruction Spin to be used as many times as I wish!" He held up his whole deck. "34 cards for 34." CJ's deck disappeared, while his Enraged Battle Ox was blown apart by a Yo-Yo to the face. "End turn. Now you have no deck, so you lose."
CJ drew a single card sitting on his disk slot. "Oh really? Well you made one mistake…and that was thinking I wasn't ready. Outstanding Dog Marron (100/100) when sent to the graveyard is shuffled back into my deck, so I do have a card to draw. End turn."
CJ- 7900
Pierre- Loss by deck-out
As the last reporter ran away screaming, Rikuo glanced at all the pieces of cloth around him. "You're lucky I didn't feel like killing any of you." Turning, he shoved his hands into his pockets and walked away…but stopped as something caught his eyes. "What's this?"
There was a sign hung up over an entrance. Japanese Antiques.
Rikuo snickered and walked inside. "Why not, I have some time."
Deondre smirked. "Different Dimension Dark Magician's special ability lets him remove one monster from the game!" His opponent's Millennium Shield disappeared. "Direct attack!" The crystal-blue spellcaster leapt forward and blew the duelist away with a single blast of energy.
Deondre- 5000
Opponent- 0
Rikuo ignored the store owner's reaction to seeing him. ("I'm a customer, so therefore he'll know to stay out of my way.") As he looked among the racks of different items, some things which actually had a few memories in his mind, he stopped when he walked up to a glass display case. ("What's this?")
Sitting in the case was a golden staff with a snake's head at one end. The rubies the head had for eyes sent Rikuo into a moment of pause. Something about it was remarkably familiar to him. "Shopkeep, what is that?"
The owner, a rather young Japanese man, ran up to the wolf demon. "That is a very rare find indeed. It was said to originally…urk!"
Rikuo, still looking at the case, pulled the man in close by the collar. "Where?"
"Somewhere in center mountain ranges of Japan…"
The wolf demon frowned…and shrugged it off. Throwing the owner aside he turned and walked out. "Piece of junk…"
If he had been paying attention he would have noticed how the eyes of the staff were now glowing.
CJ- 2700
Opponent- 4000
The man, who was wearing a white tuxedo and sunglasses with a black pony-tail, smirked at the large man. "I've got you trapped. Thanks to the power of Great Maju Garzette (0/0) and Maju Garzette (0/0) I have you locked. Because I sacrificed higher level monsters to them, their attack scores are more than strong enough to take you down." (6000/0) (8900/0) Also, he had Ultimate Offering and Attack Booster in play in his magic and trap zone, along with two set cards. "End turn." In his hand was a single card.
CJ looked at the four cards in his hand. "Draw!" Snapping up the drawn card he smiled slightly. "Let's see how you handle this!" He had Berserk Gorilla (2000/1000) in play with Mad Dog of Darkness (1900/1400 and Panther Warrior. (2000/1600) "I offer these three monsters to summon Gilford the Lightning!" (2800/1400) The three monsters disappeared and were replaced by a towering warrior holding a thick black steel sword. "When three monsters are offered for this creature's summoning then it destroys all monsters in play! Lightning Crush!" Electricity arched along Gilford's sword.
The man sneered and discarded his hand card. "Reveal Divine Wrath! This counter trap costs one hand card but it negates the activation of a monster effect and destroys the monster!" The lightning from Gilford's sword overloaded and blew it apart. "You're finished…"
Deondre smirked from behind CJ. "You in trouble there buddy?"
CJ grimaced and looked at his hand. "You want to play rough? Then let's play! From my hand I activate Monster Reborn! Revive Gilford the Lightning!" The tanned warrior reappeared on the field.
The man chuckled. "Reveal Bottomless Trap Hole. This card will remove Gilford from the game." A hole opened up in the ground under Gilford's feet and pulled it out of sight. "This duel is done…"
CJ snapped up another card. "Pot of Greed!" Drawing two cards he smiled. "It's time to slay these demons! I offer a water, fire, earth, wind, light and dark monster from my graveyard as a sacrifice!" Six balls of light appeared on the field and pulled together into one big ball. "Nexus the Conqueror (3500/3000) is summoned!" A golden armored warrior with a giant claymore on his back appeared on the field.
"What will that piece of trash do?" The man chuckled again. "Did you forget the attack power of my two monsters?"
"Far from it…" CJ held up another card. "Monster Returned lets me special summon one monster from my removed from play pile to the field. Gilford the Lightning returns to play!" Now he had two mighty warriors standing alongside each other.
"I'll still…"
CJ snapped up his last card. "I activate Polymerization! Fuse together these two monsters…" Both monsters were pulled into a vortex. What emerged was a giant humanoid in armor holding both Gilford's sword and Nexus' sword, its long black hair flowing in the wind behind it. "Gilford the Conqueror (3500/3500) is summoned!"
"Gilford the Conqueror?" The man stared at the creature. "What can it possibly do? Unless it can copy Gilford's effect then there is no purpose for it."
"It can't copy Gilford's effect…but it doesn't have to!" CJ pointed at the man. "Go Gilford, attack with Tempest Saber!" The titanic warrior barreled towards Great Maju Garzette.
"You can't be serious, Garzette has 8900 attack points!"
"Yeah, but Gilford has a special ability! When he battles with a stronger monster that monster's attack power is cut in half and the removed points are given to him!" (4450/0) (7950/3500) Gilford slashed through the demon and it exploded into dust.
CJ- 2700
Opponent- 500
The man ground his teeth. "Why you little…"
"I'm not done yet! Gilford the Conqueror has another special ability! When it destroys an enemy's monster as a result of battle it can destroy one monster in play with less attack strength than that of the monster it killed!" Great Maju Garzette exploded into dust. "That monster's attack points will be deducted from your life points! Lightning Holy Wave!" Gilford drove its sword right in the man's chest.
CJ- 2700
Opponent- 0
As the man fell CJ pounded his fist into his hand. "That's the last one…"
Deondre sighed. "I'm exhausted…"
Meanwhile, the Japanese store owner grimaced and brushed himself off. "What kind of freak was that guy anyway?"
The eyes of the staff shimmered brighter.
"He had some nerve to come in here and start roughing me up…"
The glass case began to crack.
Turning his head slowly, the man got enough time to blink right before the case exploded outwards, spraying him with glass shards. One of those shards slammed right into his jugular, and he dropped to the ground wordlessly.
("I can feel it…I can feel life…") A black shadow leaked from the staff's base and started to pool in front of the case. ("And I can feel you, Rikuo. Your scent…it has awakened me…")
Break in film…
To Bobbomp: How stupid of me. I forgot entirely about that mid-air sword clash scene in the first three Star Wars movies which never happened. I was referring to Revenge of the Sith.
To Time Mage: Not all of them, but the interesting ones yes.
To Gryphinwyrm7: This is currently going on about three days since the Shadow Tournament, so I have no idea. I don't remember when your story occurs specifically.
