Bloodline of the Magician
Chapter 4: The True God Card; Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon
Sunlight peeked into Vera's room, shining onto her face. She rolled over and tried to hide her face from the warmth that was flooding around her. She stood up and shuffled around her room, eyes half-closed and hair in a mess. ("Ugh…I feel so sore…") After cleaning Yukio's whole house, it had been so late that she had gone straight to bed. And now she felt like crap. Stumbling out of her room, she managed to make it to one of the bathrooms before falling asleep on her feet.
An hour later she walked into the living room wearing her leather jacket and leather pants. "So…what do you have for us to do today, oh master?" Her voice dripped with anger and sarcasm.
"Nothing at all." Yukio was watching the television, while eating a bowl of cereal. "Except that you're coming to school with me."
"Who says I'll be going anywhere with you, you pretentious little…" Vera was silenced as Sarah, still wearing pajamas, seemed to appear out of nowhere and throw a hand over her mouth. "We'd love to Yukio-san!"
And all Vera could do was fix the darkest glare she could on Yukio's back.
He felt pain…but it didn't matter. ("I will escape…I will find freedom and begin my conquest of this world again!") Valeus roared and tore his claws into the very fabric of the dimension. "Let me out!"
Yukio sighed as he walked down the street towards his high school with Vera and Sarah in tow. "You know that we are going to a private school right?"
Vera had decided that if she was going to go to this school, then she might as well deck herself out in her old rave clothing. She'd gone the full mile, putting on thick black lipstick, eye-liner, leather, and buckles all across her body. "Shut up. I'm making sure that no one will be touching me without understanding I'll rip their eyes out with these nails of mine."
Sarah sighed and looked around. "Sis, you're crazy." She smoothed out the uniform she had borrowed from Yukio. Which scared her considering that he supposedly lived alone.
"Let me introduce two new students to our class." The teacher motioned to Sarah. "Could you please introduce yourself to the class?"
Sarah stepped forward and brushed back some locks of her blond hair. Almost on cue a ray of sunlight shone in through a window and highlighted her, her eyes sparkling brightly. "My name is Sarah Rast…and it's a pleasure to meet all of you."
Every boy in the classroom started to unconsciously drool. And every girl in the room gave Sarah the coldest look possible.
The teacher sweat-dropped and looked over at Vera, who had her back rested against the black board. "What about you miss?"
She fixed a cold glare across everyone in the room. "Vera Rast…keep your hands to yourself."
Every boy paled, as did every girl. As did the teacher. As did Sarah.
Yukio ground his palm against his forehead. ("Oh man…")
And at the back of the class, a pair of deep blue eyes watched her with interest flashing in them. ("I see…what an interesting girl.")
While Vera sat in her desk near the back of the classroom, she ran her pencil along the paper in front of her slowly, drawing intricate symbols along the edges.
"Very pretty," someone whispered from next to her.
She barely flinched at the calm speaker next to her. "Keep your eyes to themselves."
"I didn't mean to offend you," the voice said. "Please accept my apologies."
Her head turned to look at the speaker…and she blinked in surprise when she was greeted by two shockingly deep blue eyes which contrasted against an incredibly pale white face. "Jeez…you're a pale boy aren't you?"
He smiled sweetly and pointed at the piece of paper. "What do those symbols mean?"
Vera looked away from him. "They're some symbols that my father taught me to draw." ("Why am I even speaking to this freak?")
"I see. Well they are very pretty." He tilted his head in farther to look at the paper closer. "What do they mean?"
"They don't mean anything." She continued to look away. "Now go away." The bell for class rang. "Never mind, I'll go away." She packed her backpack and stomped off.
He watched her leave with a little smile on his face. ("I can tell by your stance…you will make a fine opponent.")
Yukio glanced over at Vera, who sat quietly and chewed on her sandwich. "I see you've met Yasashiku, the Duel King of Humotoru High School."
Brushing her fire-red bang back, she gave him a confused look. "The Duel King of this school? That guy? He didn't look all that intimidating."
Yukio frowned. "You don't know him like I do. He's like a demon when he duels…and with good reason…"
Vera was about to say something…but the sound of approaching footsteps caught her attention.
A young man ran up to their table. "Excuse me, Yukio?"
Sighing, Yukio brushed some of his hair back. "Yes?"
"Yasashiku has requested Miss Rast's attendance to the school auditorium. He wants her for an exhibition duel."
Vera smirked slightly. "So the sweet-heart wants to duel? Good, I'll mop the floor with him." She grabbed her backpack and ran out of the lunchroom.
"Vera! Wait a second…" Yukio stared at her retreating back. ("Oh man…she's in for a surprise…")
A few minutes later Vera had her disk on, and was walking into the huge school auditorium with a dark smile on her face.
And at the other end of the room stood Yasashiku, his duel disk in place and that sweet smile still on his face. "I'm glad you came. And I'm sure our audience is glad you came as well." He motioned to all of the gathered students in the stands. "Let's give them all a good show."
Vera sneered. "I don't like that nice guy attitude of yours. So let me clear it away with a nice humiliating defeat!"
Yasashiku- 4000
Vera- 4000
Yasashiku drew. "We shall see." As he looked at his hand he laughed. "Alright, I'll start with this in defense mode." A card shimmered into existence in front of him. "End turn."
Vera drew. ("A trap card…good, I can make good use of this.") "I summon Penguin Magician (750/500) in defense mode!" A penguin wearing magician's robes appeared on the field in a crouching position. "End turn."
Yasashiku drew, his eyes glittering the light. "I summon Lord Poison (1500/1000) in attack mode." A plant-like monster appeared on the field and howled. "Also, I reveal my face-down Revival Jam." (1500/500) A blob of blue slime appeared where his set card had been. "Revival Jam, attack the Penguin now." The slime blob tackled the little bird magician and blew it apart. "Lord Poison, attack her life points directly."
Vera barely flinched as the claws of the plant monster slashed through her body.
Yasashiku- 4000
Vera- 2500
Yasashiku smiled warmly. "I see you're not flinching. Excellent…End turn."
Vera drew. "I don't flinch to weaklings! Especially not weaklings who fall for my traps! When there is a spellcaster in my graveyard Chant Magician (0/100) can be special summoned!" A woman in light white robes appeared on the field in a crouching position. "Now I offer Chant Magician as a sacrifice to summon Sword Saint Apprentice!" (2000/1700) A woman in light green robes holding a pair of wooden swords appeared on the field. "For every spellcaster in my graveyard she gains 100 attack points!" (2200/1700) "Sword Trainee Slash!" The two wooden swords slammed against the face of Lord Poison and blew it apart. "Also, I set one card face-down. It's back to you, nice guy."
Yasashiku- 3300
Vera- 2500
Yasashiku drew. "You are better than I thought…but I don't really estimate opponents until I'm dueling them." He blushed a little. "However…" He placed a card face-down on his disk. "One monster face-down, one card face-down, and I'll switch Revival Jam into defense mode. End turn."
Vera drew. "I'll destroy your set monster now! Go Sword Saint Apprentice!" The woman slammed her wooden swords into the set monster and blew it apart.
Yasashiku pointed at his set card. "You're definitely good, but you should consider what you are doing before you do it. Reveal Dragon Mist." A white mist formed on her field. "By sending one dragon from my deck to the graveyard I can special summon the destroyed monster back to play." The mist went into his disk, and then withdrew the destroyed card from his graveyard slot. A blue-armored knight appeared on the field. "Kaiser Seahorse (1700/1650) is returned to the field."
Vera frowned. "End turn."
Yasashiku drew. And as he did so his expression change.
Vera blinked in surprise at the cold smirk she was getting. ("Where'd mister nice guy so quickly?")
Yukio frowned from his seat in the bleachers. ("Oh man…I know that look.")
Sarah sat down next to him. "Wow…what did I miss?"
"You haven't missed anything yet…" Yukio sighed. "The action has just started."
Yasashiku snapped up a card. "Horn of Dragon's Revival activates! This magic card lets me take one dragon monster from my graveyard and add it to my hand." As he held up the new card, his eyes narrowed. "Now then…I sacrifice Kaiser Seahorse, which counts as two sacrifices when offered for a light monster!" The knight disappeared and a pillar of light exploded out of the ground. "Come out now, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" (3000/2500)
"What?" Vera's eyes went huge as a giant white-scaled blue-eyed dragon rose up from out of the pillar of light. "That's impossible..."
"Nothing is impossible." Yasashiku stood solemnly, the dragon roaring behind him.
"But there are only three copies of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the world!" Vera clenched her fist. "And that means that is a fake!"
"No, it is real." Yasashiku's eyes shimmered vibrant blue. "And you will be destroyed by it."
"Don't try to kid a kidder, bastard." She pointed at him. "I'll destroy you and your fake Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
His fist clenched tightly. "It…is…not…fake!" The dragon behind him roared so loudly the building shook. "And I'll shut you up right now, you bitch! Horrible Burst Stream!" A ball of light charged up in the dragon's jaws.
Vera smirked slightly. "Reverse card open!" Her set card flipped up. "Magician's Sanctuary!" A glowing barrier of light sprang up around her Apprentice. "This card can only activate when a spellcaster on my field is attacked! That attack will be negated if the top card of my deck is a magic card! If it is a magic card then it stays in my hand!" She snapped the top card off of her deck and looked at it.
Yasashiku smirked. "It's not a magic card, is it?"
Closing her eyes in defeat, Vera snapped the card around to reveal Scythe Magician.
He pointed at the Apprentice. "The card goes to the graveyard and the battle continues! Horrible Burst Stream!" The ball turned into a river of white energy that swallowed up the magician and blew it apart.
Vera braced herself against the backlash, which was incredibly stronger than what she was used to.
Yasashiku- 3300
Vera- 1700
"Do not mock this dragon. It has saved my life in the past…" He pointed at her. "End turn."
Vera growled and looked down at her deck. "You think that just because my trap failed I'm finished? Well then let me correct your impression of the situation!" The top card left her deck, leaving a little arc of energy behind it. Glancing at the drawn card she grimaced. ("Useless…but I still have a way to protect myself for this turn.") She took a card from her hand and held it up for him to see. "I activate the magic card Necromantic Curtain! This card can only activate if I have four or more spellcasters in my graveyard! From my hand, I can normal summon one dark spellcaster without sacrifices."
A grey curtain fell over her field and when it withdrew there was a spellcaster in dark grey robes standing on the field. "Illusion Necromancer (1500/1800) has an effect that activates when it is special summoned!" Two exact copies of the mage appeared on both sides of the original in crouching positions. "I can special summon the other two Illusion Necromancer's in my deck to the field! End turn."
Yasashiku drew the top card of his deck. "From what I can see you drew a bad card and are using your last defense at the moment to protect yourself. Each of your monsters has a defense score of 1800, so the attack power of Revival Jam won't help me destroy them. However…" He looked at the drawn card. "I'll tear them all down in this turn!"
"All three of my Illusion Necromancers?" Vera narrowed her eyes. "You're biting off a lot more than you can chew if you think that you are that good of a duelist."
"I'm more than that good." His eyes seemed so different now. Like the summoning of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon had replaced him with a different person. "Now then…" He fanned out his hand. "I've got the method to beat you right now! Revival Jam switches into attack mode!"
("He can't actually hope to defeat my monster…") Vera glared at him defiantly.
Yasashiku slapped a card down onto his disk. "I summon Manju of the Ten-Thousand Hands (1400/1000) in defense mode!" A freakish creature appeared on the field in a crouching position, its thousands of hands curled around it in defense mode. "When this monster is normal summoned I can add one ritual magic or monster card from my deck to my hand." He removed a card from his deck and added it to his hand. "And now that we have that little side-show out of the way, onto the main event!"
Vera heard the seriousness in his voice. ("What's he talking about?")
He snapped up a card and its face shimmered. "The magic card Stand-In lets me take one monster from my field and add it to my hand!" Manju of the Ten-Thousand Hands faded away. "Then I take one monster of the same level and summon it to the field! Come out now Sapphire Dragon!" (1900/1600) A sapphire-encrusted dragon appeared on the field and roared.
"So what?" Vera sneered. "You can't expect…"
"One more thing." Yasashiku held up another card. "Vengeance from the Grave activates when I have a monster in my graveyard." A pair of huge ghosts flew out of the card and hit the Revival Jam, sinking into its body. "This card gives my monster 500 attack points for every monster in my graveyard." (2500/500)
The whole crowd gasped in amazement. And Vera bit her lower lip.
"Here we go Vera! Revival Jam, destroy the first Illusion Necromancer!" The blob of blue slime slammed right into the first spellcaster, sending it flying away into the wall of the auditorium and blowing it apart. "Now Sapphire Dragon! Attack!" The sapphire-encrusted dragon roared and launched forward, biting into the spellcaster's neck and blowing it apart. "Finally, Horrible Burst Stream!" The Blue-Eyes White Dragon opened its jaws, shot out another river of white power that slammed down onto the spellcaster and shattered it. "At the end phase of my turn Vengeance from the Grave destroys the monster I target with its effect." Revival Jam melted into a blob of goop that dissolved into mist. "End turn."
Vera grimaced and drew the top card of her deck. "I'm not beaten yet! The magic card Pot of Greed lets me draw two cards!" She looked at the drawn cards. ("This is my chance…") "Your monster is powerful…however it won't be strong enough for my next monster! I set three cards face-down on the field and summon Matrix Magician (1500/1200) in attack mode!" A woman in a green body-suit appeared on the field. "Also, I play the equipment magic card Mage Power! For every card in my magic and trap card zone Matrix Magician will gain 500 attack points!" (3500/3200) "Here we go Yasashiku! Matrix Magician attacks with Matrix Burst!" The woman threw a ball of glowing energy that hit the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and blew it apart. "End turn!"
Yasashiku- 2800
Vera- 1700
Yasashiku frowned and drew. "You would dare to destroy my dragon? Then I'll return the favor! First I switch Sapphire Dragon into defense mode. Then I set one monster face-down on the field. End turn for now." His lips lifted slightly. "Now show me your best, girl."
Vera drew. ("I could set one more card face-down to raise the power of Matrix Magician…but I might want to keep this card in my hand for now.") "Matrix Magician, destroy the Sapphire Dragon! Matrix Burst!" A blast of energy flew the magician's hands and blew the dragon apart. "End turn."
Yasashiku drew. "End turn."
Vera drew. "Go now Matrix Magician, attack the set monster!" The magician blew the set monster apart.
Yasashiku sneered and held up a card from his graveyard. "Death Gremlin's special ability lets me shuffle one card from my graveyard and shuffle it into my deck." Shuffling the card in, he snickered.
Vera growled. "End turn."
Yasashiku drew. "Now I play Cyclone! Let Mage Power be destroyed!" The equipment magic card shattered into dust. (1500/1200) "Now then, I re-summon Manju of the Ten-Thousand Hands in defense mode!" The horrible grey monster appeared on the field in a crouching position. "Now I add one ritual monster or magic card from my deck to my hand." Taking his new card, he snickered coldly. "Now then…go White Dragon Ritual!" Manju exploded into dust and was replaced by a knight riding on top of a horse-sized white dragon. "Paladin of White Dragon (1900/1200) is summoned and it attacks your Matrix Magician!" It charged across the field and tackled through the spellcaster, blowing her apart.
Yasashiku- 2800
Vera- 1300
Vera paled at the fact that the only monster she could summon without sacrifice at the moment was gone.
Yasashiku pointed at his Paladin. "I sacrifice this monster to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck!" (3000/2500) The Paladin exploded into dust and was replaced by another of the giant dragons.
Vera turned white. "Another dragon?"
"That's right, another dragon!" Yasashiku pointed at her. "End turn. And I suggest you stop talking about my monsters like they are fake and trash. They are as real as you and me. End turn."
Vera gulped and drew. "I set a monster face-down. End turn."
To be continued…
Are you going to be okay Vera? This guy apparently has a real set of Blue-Eyes White Dragons. With that kind of fire-power he's a real threat…
I'll win…if I can somehow summon the monster card in my hand.
Monster card? What card is it?
One of my strongest mages…
