"Are you ready to lose Weevil?" Robert asked, a fiendish glint in his eye.
On the sidelines Sammantha was already well aware of the card he'd drawn, the look in his eyes was enough to tell her.
"He's going to use it! Finally." Sammantha said in shocked anticipation.
"Use what? He has a card that can take out that behemoth?" Ryu was confused, until he'd drawn Robert was looking like he was about to lose.
"Robert's got one of the most powerful monster cards in the entire Duel Monsters game in his deck. This, however will be the very first time he's ever had the chance or inclination to use it." Sammantha answered without even looking at the boy by her side, she didn't want to miss the summoning.
"I sacrifice my two Spear Dragons to summon a monster that you have no chance of beating!" Robert declared as he slid the two spear dragons into the Graveyard slot on his Duel Disk.
"I summon, The Blue Eyes White Dragon in attack mode!" Robert set the card and a bright orb of the purest white light appeared in front of him, the light was almost blinding in its brilliance. Energy began to crackle and arc off of the orb of beautiful white light, then in flash there it stood in all it's glory, The Blue Eyes White Dragon, the great dragon outstretched it's massive wings and let loose a mighty roar, as if announcing it's presence to those who were foolish enough to ignore it's arrival into this world.
"W...wh... ho... How!?! HOW!!!!!????" Weevil was slipping into hysteria, his mighty Insect Queen looked like nothing more than a bloated tick compared to the Blue Eyes. Kaiba Corp had done a great job on the monster reaction programs with the newest version of the Duel Disk system, Weevils Insect queen actually looked as though it were scared to death.
Back on the sidelines Sammantha stood in awe of the magnificent dragon as it stared at the puny Insect Queen before it, the dragons claws opening and closing slowly as though it were impatient to attack the quivering insect.
"He... He has the..." Ryu was shocked, like most Duelists he'd heard bout the set of six new Blue Eyes promo cards being released but only a scant few had ever seen the cards.
"It's..." Sammantha was at a loss for words while taking in the striking form of the great beast.
"I'm not done yet Weevil, now I'll activate the trap card I've had waiting, Call of the Haunted, bringing back one of my Spear Dragons!" Robert activated the card and the smaller dragon appeared on the to the right of it's much larger cousin.
"Now my Blue Eyes will decimate your Insect queen and burn away a chunk of you Life Points by attacking with Burst Stream!" Robert called out the attack and the Blue Eyes obeyed, rearing back it's head and lunging forward launching a blast of brilliant energy at the poor Insect, vaporizing it in an instant and dropping Weevils Life Points by six hundred.
Weevil: 2400
Robert: 7900
"But wait, there's more. Spear dragon can now attack your Life Points directly." Robert no sooner finished speaking than the blue dragon sped towards Weevil like a missile.
Weevil: 500
Robert: 7900
"And now, my turn is over." Robert was fighting hard to keep his face neutral, the awe he felt as he watched the Blue Eyes appear on his side of the field and then obey his commands was indescribable.
"I...umm... I'll..." Weevil was stammering as he drew his card. "I'll set one card in defense mode and... umm... one Magic or trap card and my turn is done." Weevil was sweating profusely. Since the Duel had begun a crowd had begun to form to watch. Since the Blue Eyes made it's appearance on the scene however, everyone else had dropped what they were doing and gathered around to watch the legendary engine of destruction in action.
"Guess it's my turn eh Weevil?" Robert drew his card and smiled.
"I'll activate the magic card, United We Stand on my Blue Eyes White Dragon, increasing it's attack and defense by eight hundred for every monster on the field.
4600/4100
"Now my Spear Dragon will attack your face down card, and per it's effect you take any spill over damage." he dragon launched itself at the face down monster card and a Worm Drake appeared.
Weevil: 100
Robert: 7900
"Time for the last move of the game Weevil. Blue Eyes White Dragon, Burst Stream attack!" Robert called out triumphantly the dragon launched a wave of pure energy at Weevil who was quickly lost in the sheer intensity of the light the attack produced.
Weevil: 0000
Robert: 7900
The Blue Eyes roared again as if demanding another challenger before Robert shut down the Duel Disk and returned his cards to his deck.
"You know the rules Weevil, your star points are now mine, stored safely on my Duel Disk and now the matter of the Rare card. Return the boys card and we'll call it even." Robert stood before Weevil, who was kneeling on the ground whimpering softly, cards scattered all around him.
"Fine..." Weevil said and handed Robert a card then mumbled something about it always being the first round, why always the first round? Robert didn't understand what he was talking about but decided to ignore it and headed over to Sammantha and the boy.
"Here's your card." Robert said handing it over then added. "Maha Vailo huh? Powerful effect on that monster, hold on a second." He took out a black deck box and began to sift through the cards inside.
"Here, this should help out a lot in you next tournament." He said and handed the boy a magic card.
"WHOA! Mage Power, but don't you need it?" The boy asked as he looked at Robert.
"Restrictions say you can't have more than one of those in a deck." Robert answered holding up is left arm and patting his deck.
"Wow, thanks I really appreciate it Robert." The boy said as he slid both of the cards into his deck.
"Well, it seems you have me at a disadvantage. You know my name but I have yet to hear yours." Robert smiled as he spoke to the boy.
"Oh, sorry. My name's Ryu, it's a pleasure to meet you sir." Ryu said as he offered his hand to shake, Robert accepted his hand and shook it firmly.
"And don't worry about me, I've still got two star points." Ryu said as he checked his Duel Disks readout screen to verify.
"You must be a pretty good Duelist to already have two points." Sammantha said, impressed.
"I'm okay but Robert's AWESOME, he tore through Weevil like he was nothing! I hope I don't have to face you any time soon." Ryu said excitedly.
"It's always good to face strong opponents Ryu, it helps show you what needs improving." Robert replied as he picked up his bag. The three Duelists began walking towards the inner island. There would be no more Duels in this section as nearly everyone had cleared out after the Duel with Weevil.
"So, where are you guys headed?" Ryu asked as they reached a cross roads just out side of the small harbor town.
"Well I want to see that rainforest Kaiba had built on the Island, plus I have to try to catch up with Robert in Star Points." Sammantha answered as Robert was reading the directions posted on a sign by the road.
"Really, oh well I guess we won't be traveling together then I'm headed towards the castle near the middle of the island I heard a rumor about a bonus game there." Ryu said as he took a few steps towards the left fork.
"I guess I'll see you guys later, make sure you watch out for the Eliminators!" Ryu warned as he jogged off, hopping to catch one of the trams.
"Eliminators?" Robert and Sammantha asked in unison.
On the sidelines Sammantha was already well aware of the card he'd drawn, the look in his eyes was enough to tell her.
"He's going to use it! Finally." Sammantha said in shocked anticipation.
