thegymrat: Honestly, I did have to go over the last few chapters mentally to remember how many of them were missing. However, I did NOT think I was using too many OCs. Now, on to the Finals!
Tokyo Tournament
Chapter Nineteen-Roar of the Dragon
Also Entitled: Go Go Godzilla!
Bullus and Razor stepped into the arena. The dueling arena was meant to be used with Duel Disks, and the two combined would make the holograms seem even more realistic.
Bullus grinned as he faced off against Kirbin, "You must have some pretty weak monsters to refuse to even show them to anyone. Let's get this over with quickly, I'd like to actually face someone worth my time."
"I'll ensure it to be very quick," promised Kirbin as his eyes glowed green. His entire body was then enveloped by gray armor that was covered in curved blades. Green eyes glowed from behind the visor.
"Razor...," murmured Giyan.
"What the Hell!?" cried Bullus in shock, "What just happened?"
"I'd like to know that myself," said Yugi.
"He's been doing this the whole tournament," said Joy, "every time Kirbin duels, one of these essences of his takes over his body and duels for him. Each of them has some sort of power. One time he even split into two of them at once and they dueled as a team."
"He must be using some kind of magic," said Yugi to himself.
"What's just happened is not important," said Razor as he activated his Duel Disk, "what's important is the fact that I'm about to wipe the floor with you."
Bullus growled and activated his Duel Disk, "I'll make you eat those words, tin-head! Let's duel!"
Bullus: 4000 Razor: 4000
"I'll start this duel off by just playing one monster in defense mode," said Razor as he placed one card on his Duel Disk. A holographic image of the facedown card shimmered into view before him.
"If that's all you've got, then it won't be long before I win this duel!" cried Bullus as he played a card, "I play Raigeki, destroying all of your monsters!" A lightning bolt struck from above, obliterating Razor's monster. "Now, because you're totally defenseless, there's nothing to stop me from summoning Mechanicalchaser (1850/800) and attacking directly!" The bulbous machine resembling a deadly Swiss-army knife appeared and rushed at Razor before stabbing him in the chest. "Before ending my turn," continued Bullus, "I set two cards facedown." The two cards appeared between he and his Mechanicalchaser.
Bullus: 4000 Razor: 2150
"Kirbin's essences are usually more prepared for something like that," murmured Joy worriedly, "Razor should have set up a better defense than that."
"Perhaps he deliberately left himself open so that he would be able to make a good counterattack," mused Yugi.
"I hope so," said Joy.
"So you got a strong monster out," said Razor, "I'll easily pay you back for that move and more. I summon Luster Dragon (1900/1600)!" A human-sized dragon appeared. It was covered by sapphires and looked very beautiful, but its eyes burned dangerously. "Next, I play Stamping Destruction, which will destroy one of your Spell or Trap cards and deal you 500 points of direct damage!" As Razor played the card, everyone waited for its results to be shown. However, nothing happened.
"It seems that your Spell did absolutely nothing," mocked Bullus.
"Wait for it..." assured Razor. Just then, Godzilla's foot crashed through the ceiling and stomped on one of Bullus's facedown cards. With a bellow, Godzilla then lifted his foot out of the room. "And that's not all," continued Bullus, "I also play Dragon's Gunfire, which will destroy one monster with 800 or less defense!" Godzilla poked his head through the hole in the ceiling his foot had made. He then shot his atomic breath at the Mechanicalchaser, destroying it.
Bullus: 3500 Razor: 2150
"Now then," said Razor, "Luster Dragon, attack directly!" The dragon let forth a stream of energy from its mouth. The breath weapon struck Bullus head on, momentarily bringing him to his knees.
Bullus: 1600 Razor: 2150
"You'll pay for that, punk!" Bullus snarled as he snapped a card off his deck. He grinned at the card and immediately played it, "Graceful Charity. And one of the two cards I choose to discard I'll immediately bring back! I play Monster Reborn, reviving the Ultimate Obedient Fiend (3500/3000)!" The tremendous red beast appeared, its frame of pure muscle crowding Bullus's entire field.
"I see little good that will do you," said Razor calmly, "after all, there's little that thing can do as long as you have anything else near it."
"What's Razor mean by that?" asked Tea confusedly.
"It's Ultimate Obedient Fiend's effect," explained Yugi, "it can't attack so long as its controller has any cards on their field or in their hand. It's actually a rather common card, but few people use it due to its immense difficulty to use."
"What I want to know is why Bullus summoned that thing at all," said Tristan, "if it can't do any attacking, what use is it to him?"
"Now, I activate Skill Drain!" continued Bullus as his Trap card flipped up, "So long as this is on the field, all monster effects are negated, including my Ultimate Obedient Fiend's!" The Ultimate Obedient Fiend reared up its head and bellowed, now attacking more feral than before.
"Don't forget about the other effect of Skill Drain," said Razor, "it will hurt you more than help now. Because now you have to pay 1000 Life Points."
Bullus: 600 Razor: 2150
"That little bit of Life Points won't matter now," said Bullus, "for now, the Ultimate Obedient Fiend is free to attack whenever I want him to! Now, my Fiend, destroy that pathetic excuse for a dragon!" The red mass of muscle lumbered forward and made a swipe at the Luster Dragon, battering it away.
Bullus: 600 Razor: 550
Bullus laughed aloud at Razor, "What do you do now, metal-man? With Ultimate Obedient Fiend on the field, you're totally helpless. If I were you, I'd give up now."
"I understand that," replied Razor, "from what I know about you, you would be cowering in fear by now. After all, you are just a cheater and a bully."
"Cheater? What do you mean by that?" yelled Bullus in angry retaliation, though his brow suddenly became sweaty.
"After facing Bandit Keith earlier in this tournament, I'd be quite ashamed with myself if I didn't spot you cheating. I noticed it as soon as we began. When you drew, only two cards came off your deck, but somehow your hand had five cards in it. Then, when you drew on your second turn, you flipped your wrist towards your Duel Disk, and you didn't take a card off your deck. I figured the extra cards came from the sleeves of your jacket. But it doesn't matter how much you try to cheat now." Then Razor's eyes flashed, and a dagger suddenly flew towards Bullus. The blade of the dagger caught the end of his jacket sleeve, tearing it and latching the end to the wall. A stack of cards spilled out from it. "Now you have no cards to draw from your sleeves," said Razor coolly as Bullus began to sweat more profusely.
"I thought something was up when Bullus pulled that combo off so quickly," mused Yugi, "turns out, he's just another Bandit Keith."
"Now to take care of the Ultimate Obedient Fiend," said Razor as he played a card, "I play Card Destruction, so now let's get a new hand each." He pulled the new cards free from his deck and played one of them, "Now I play Painful Choice, so pick one of my five dragons to go to my hand." Razor briefly searched his deck for the five cards, then held them up for Bullus to see.
Bullus looked at the cards and found that they were all high-level monsters, though none of them could measure up to his Ultimate Obedient Fiend. "I'll choose that middle one," he decided after a quick consideration." Razor placed the other four monsters in his graveyard and the selected monster in his hand.
"Prepare to lose your greatest weapon, Bullus," declared Razor, "for now I play the Lord of Dragons, followed by the Flute of Summoning Dragon. That allows me to summon any two dragons in my hand. However, I only have one in my hand now, the Luster Dragon #2 (2400/1400)." The Lord of Dragons appeared and blew into its summoning horn. Then a large, majestic dragon with a hide of emeralds appeared.
"I don't see what that thing can do to me," said Bullus simply.
"It will disarm your fiend," replied Razor, "I play Wingbeat of Giant Dragon, returning the Luster Dragon #2 to my hand to destroy all Spell and Trap cards on the field!" The emerald dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky. Then Bullus's Skill Drain was destroyed. "Your move, Bullus. Let's see if you can do anything without the Ultimate Obedient Fiend."
Bullus angrily swiped a card off his deck and briefly looked at it, cursing as he saw it to be useless. He ended his turn amidst a string of vulgar comments.
Razor calmly drew, "I will set a card facedown and switch Lord of Dragon's into defense mode." The Lord of Dragons crouched down, his cape flowing down his shoulders. Then a card appeared behind him, "Your turn."
Bullus drew a card and smiled, "I place a monster in defense mode." The sideways facedown card appeared next to the Ultimate Obedient Fiend, "Now even if you destroy my Ultimate Obedient Fiend, you still won't defeat me!"
"You're a foolish person," said Razor, "you feel confidence because you cheat to gain an advantage when normally you would fall easily. Not only that, but you also think a single monster in defense mode will stop me. But I have a little piece of information for you, Bullus. You have no Trap cards on your field. I see know way you can hope to defend yourself without those. So now allow me to show you just how important those Traps are by activating one of my own: Dragon's Rage!" Razor's single card flipped up, a Trap depicting a sinuous green dragon going berserk. Through the hole in the ceiling, Godzilla could be seen going on a rampage throughout Tokyo.
"Why in the world would you activate a Trap on your own turn?" asked Bullus confusedly.
"You won't have to wonder for long," said Razor, "for this is the last turn of the duel! I play Monster Reborn, reviving the Serpent Night Dragon (2350/2400) from my graveyard!" An, immense, serpentine dragon with four wings growing from its snake-like body appeared. Its body was a dark blue, and four yellow-clawed talons hung below the black wings. Its red eyes glowed as it stared fiercely at Bullus. "This card was given to me by a good friend of mine when he won it in his first match of the tournament," said Razor as he recalled Term handing Kirbin the card, "it's just another lesson to you, Bullus. Whereas bullies never get any stronger as they go after those weaker than them, friends help each other to grow stronger."
"I still don't see how you plan on doing anything," said Bullus as he crossed his arms confidently, "your monster isn't strong enough to destroy the Ultimate Obedient Fiend, and attacking my defense monster will get you nothing."
"We'll see about that," replied Razor.
"You know, Bullus does have a point," conceded Joey. But Yugi simply smiled as he caught on to Razor's simple plan.
"Serpent Night Dragon, attack!" yelled Razor. The dragon let out a shriek like a bird, and shadows began to gather about it. Then the shadows blasted at Bullus's facedown monster in a great black wind. The card was flipped up, revealing the Gemini Elves (1900/900) before they were destroyed by the black wind.
After the smoke cleared, Bullus smiled a small bit, "Looks like you couldn't fulfill your promise. I've still got 600 Life Points left, you couldn't touch them because my monster was in defense mode." Razor simply pointed at the fading holograms, then at Bullus's Duel Disk.
Bullus: 0 Razor: 550
"What!?" cried Bullus, "But how!?"
"Quite simple," said Razor, "Dragon's Rage causes all my Dragons to deal battle damage to you when they destroy your monsters, no matter what position they're in. With only 900 defense points, your Gemini Elf's destruction dealt you a total of 1450 damage, easily enough to finish you."
Bullus angrily threw off his Duel Disk, causing it to break. "Hey, that's my property you just damaged!" yelled Cerberus immediately. Then he pressed a button on his balcony and the platform Bullus was standing on dropped out from under him, causing him to fall a great length. Cerberus immediately turned is attention from the pit trap's victim to the duelists, "Second Duel of the Tokyo Duel Monsters Tournament Finals will begin now! Giyan and Yugi Moto, report to the dueling arena!"
Sappy? I know. Stupid? Possibly. Funny? You better say that!
Next time: Yugi faces off against Yi Gai Dai Jun, Giyan! Can Yugi overcome the might of the Warrior of Balance? Will Giyan defeat Slifer? Does anyone care about what I'm saying right now? Next time on Tokyo Tournament!
thegymrat: Honestly, I did have to go over the last few chapters mentally to remember how many of them were missing. However, I did NOT think I was using too many OCs. Now, on to the Finals!
