"Yes. It's me, Inspector Haga!"
Jonouchi wasn't the least bit surprised. "FIgures you'd double-cross people, but now you decide to help destroy the world?"
"I never said I was on anybody's side! But Ashiro DID give me an offer I just CANNOT refuse!"
Justin says, "What is that? A complete facelift makeover?"
Haga screamed. "NO IT IS NOT A FACELIFT! IT IS MY NORMAL FACE AND I AM NOT UGLY! Actually, I prefer myself to be quite handsome."
That was an obviously bad call on Haga's part. Justin actually fell flat on his face and was apparently KO'd on the tile floor.
Jonouchi just shakes his head and sighs. "Now it's time to take YOU out!"
DUEL BEGIN! HAGA vs JONOUCHI
Both at 4000!
Jonouchi draws and, since he has no idea how much stronger Haga has gotten plays Little WingGuard in Defence mode (1400/1800) facedown.
Haga drew and summoned 8-Claws Scorpion (300/200), He ordered 8-Claws Scorpion to attack. the scorpion's attack raised to 2400 (since it doesn;t know what its attacking, it uses all 8 claws, 300 each) and destroyed Jonouchi's monster.
Jonouchi drew and played two cards facedown. He then summoned Alligator's Sword (1500/1200) and attacked the 8-Claws Scorpion
Jonouchi: 4000 Haga: 2800
Haga drew. Jonouchi activated Drop Off. Haga was forced to discard the card he just drew: Cocoon of Evolution. Haga stated that quite blatantly. Haga played a monster in defense mode.
Jonouchi drew and sacrificed his Alligator's Sword to summon The Fiend MegaCyber (2200/1200). He ordered Fiend MegaCyber to attack Haga's monster. It was Pinch Hopper, and since it was sent to the Graveyard, Haga was allowed to Summon an Insect from his hand. He summoned Metal Armored Bug (2800/1500). However, Jonouchi was prepared. He activate Bottomless Trap Hole. It destroyed Metal Armored bug and removed it from play. Haga, being as whiny as ever, griped at losing a perfectly fine insect. I made a remark at Haga about wanting to use a giant flyswatter to smack him against a window, just to see if he makes a squeaky sound sliding down the window. Jonouchi attacked directly with Fiend MegaCyber. He placed 2 cards facedown and ended his turn.
Jonouchi: 4000 Haga: 600
Haga drew and used Snatch Steal to take control of Fiend Megacyber. He then sacrificed Fiend Megacyber to summon Insect Princess (1900/1200). He then played Forest (200 ATK and DEF for Insects, Beasts, Plants, and Beast-Warriors.
Insect Princess attacks (2100/1400)
Jonouchi activates both of his facedown cards Foolish Burial, to sneak a Card into Weevil's graveyard. Then used Graverobber to snatch that same card out, just like he did in the Battle City Finals. He summoned his Jinzo (2400/1500). Haga was severly pissed. He equipped his monster with Gust Fan to increase Insect Princess's attack by 400, but defence was decreased a little (2500/1200). Haga was forced to end his turn.
Jounochi drew. He equipped Jinzo with a card called Amplifier. When equipped to Jinzo, it allowed Jinzo's owner to activate Traps, regardless of Jinzo's effect. he placed one card facedown and summoned Battle Warrior in defense mode (700/1000).
Haga's turn. He equipped Insect Princess with Rod of the Mind's Eye (When the equipped monster does battle damage, the damage automatically becomes 1000 points). He ordered Insect Princess to attack Jinzo.
Jonouchi activated Kunai with Chain (It was a trap but thanks to Amplifier, Jonouchi can bypass Jinzo's effect). Battle Warrior grabbed Kunai with Chain when it materialized out of nowhere and used it to trap Insect Princess. Plus it increased Jinzo's ATK by 500 (2900/1500).
Jonouchi drew and played the magic card Tailor of the Fickle. It swapped the target of an equip card to another targrt. In this case. it swapped Haga's Rod of the Mind's Eye to Jinzo. Jonouchi had Jinzo destroy Insect Princess.
Duel Over. Jonouchi wins.
Ashiro appeared in front of Haga.
"INSPECTOR HAGA! YOU SAID YOU COULD TAKE ON ANY DUELIST!"
Haga was on his knees pleading, "Please, Ashiro! I tried my best! I ranked first in Japan's National Chamiponship before Duelist Kingdom!"
"AND THAT PROVES NOTHING!"
All the while i was sneaking up on Ashiro about to strike. All of a sudden he grabbed the hand holding my Millenium Sword.
"Azurada, you and I will duel soon enough..." Now he said in a gentleman's voice, "So don't get to thinking that I can be tricked." He then went to some crazed maniac's voice, "BELIEVE ME, WHEN WE DUEL, YOU SHALL FEEL THE TRUE MEANING OF EVIL!"
He dissipated, taking Haga with him.
Yugi... err, Yami, walked up to me.
I had to ask one questioin. "How could he speak in different voices?"
Yami raised his eyebrow. "Shadi DID say that he was the culmination of all evils. He was attempting to play mindgames with you speaking in the voices of the evil ones that I have defeated before: Dartz, and Malik's dark side."
DING!
Justin was futzing with the elevator controls since Ashiro appeared and started to cuss Haga out. "Cmon guys! I made it so we can get to the top level now!"
I could barely hear Honda saying something to Jonouchi. "Man, it probably IS a good thing that we have a nerd on our side."
The elevator was bigger than the others, and it didn't look promising. But we had to go in it anyway... Oh well. At least we can get this over with so I can finally settle down and enjoy life as planned.
