"Hmph all these amateurs are really starting to piss me off. I should have just taken the limo or the copter" grumbled Seto Kaiba as strolled through the crowd of lesser duelists, parting them like Moses crossing the red sea. As he stepped out into a much larger hallway he saw a small sliver of slink slowly from the wall and interpose itself between him and furthering his journey to a cabin.
"What do you want you little squirt?"
"Oh I think you'll
find I'm less water than fire Mr. Kaiba" the figure spoke with a
southern accent and as he did, his eyes seem to glow first red and
orange like a normal fire then burst into white hot intensity.
"Lets
duel!"
"Fine I've got a few minutes to spare. Duel!"
"I'll go first Mr.Kaiba and y'all are gonna feel the burn when I set this monster and 2 cards face down."
As the huge cards appeared before his opponent, Kaiba noticed that his eyes glowed fierce again, as if they responded to his emotions
"My move now and I will set two cards face down then summon my Battle Axe in attack mode! Carve up that little defense card!"
Battle Ox: 1700/1000
A huge bull warrior appeared on the field, sheathed in red armor lined with gold and wielding a gigantic axe. The beast leapt forward and slashed down, revealing a small, yelping orange colored fox. On the end of it's tail, the small fire burning was extinguished before it disappeared from existence.
Fox Fire: 300/200
"Your little fox is destroyed. Did your really think something that weak could stand up to me? End turn" growled Kaiba
"My fox is now special summoned to the field because of its ability and I will switch it to defense mode, then summon up my Flaming Inpachi in attack mode! Make me a few steaks my monster!"
Flaming Inpachi: 1850/0
A huge flaming pile of wood and kindling appeared on the field. As Kaiba watched, the wood began to gather itself together into a towering figure with spindly arms and legs, huge block like fists, and a grinning, gaping mouth like that of a skull. He could see the flames reflected in his opponents eyes. That struck him as strange, as human eyes should not be doing that but he was too lost in the duel to really give it any thought.
Seto Kaiba: 7850, MF (Mysterious Figure): 8000
"You may have taken an early lead now you tinder box but I'll take control of this duel now! I will set another card then play the Ritual Spell Card White Dragon Ritual! Then I sacrifice my Luster dragon to summon the Paladin of White Dragon!"
Paladin of White Dragon: 1900/1200
A huge white flash burst across the field, blinding Kaiba for a minute before he opened his eyes and through the radiance saw a smaller version of the Blue Eyes White Dragon burst through the air. Holding onto its neck, wielding a wicked long sword was a silver armored knight, with a rippling, twilight blue cape flying behind him. The knight directed the dragon forward to slash downwards and turn his enemies creature into dust.
Seto Kaiba: 7850, MF: 7950
"Your move." Growled Seto
"Oh and what a move it will be Mr. Kaiba! I will set a monster in defense mode and end my turn."
That's your grand move? Grand bluff is more like it! You've got nothing! I will discard these two cards from my hand to summon up my XY-Dragon Cannon! Go my beast!"
XY-Dragon Cannon: 2200/1900
There was a huge flash and lightning erupted from the card as a huge red, machine like dragon emerged. Riding it in front of the wings was a large, humanoid like droid, dark blue with yellow outline. Its head was replaced by a large gun and twin gatling guns were on its shoulder plates. The dragon portion of the creature screamed a metallic screech.
"Now I discard a card from my hand to destroy your little defense card and then I will attack your little fox and you directly with my dragon cannon!
The knight charged forward again and slashed the fox in half as the cannon obliterated the face down card and then shot right at the cloaked figure.
Seto Kaiba: 7850, MF: 5750
"Whose in the lead now?" growled Seto, a grin on his face to see most of his favorite monsters appearing again and again on the field.
"He he he Mr. Kaiba, well now my little fox returns to me and since you destroyed my UFO turtle I get to summon up a fire creature with 1500 or less attack. I will choose my Masked Dragon and then for my normal summon I choose my Ultimate Baseball Kid! His attack is raised by 2000 because I have two fire monsters on the field!"
Masked Dragon: 1400/1100
Ultimate Baseball Kid: 2500/1000
A huge white dragon appeared on the field, its underside, and underneath its wings a bright crimson red and its head larger than the rest, white like the rest. Next to it appeared a small kid in a baseball uniform, wielding a hefty spiked bat. As he hefted the bat, flames surrounded him and he grew taller, his muscles bulging out and his eyes gleaming dangerously.
"Now my beast destroy his little Paladin of White Dragon!"
The monster rose its huge bat and flung up a huge flaming ball with its other hand. As it brought the bat swinging around, it resounded like a gong and sent the flaming ball hurtling at Kaiba's monster.
"And that ends my turn!" screamed Kaiba's adversary as his eyes glowed with that seemingly inner fire.
Kaiba: 7250, MF: 5750
"Alright you fool I will first discard a card from my hand to…"
"Ah not so fast Mr. Kaiba! I will do the same and flip up my tribute to the doomed to destroy your little XY-Dragon Cannon!" the figure screamed all of this and burst into a cackling laugh as Kaiba's monster was dragged down by a monstrous mummified hand.
"Alright fine then to finish up my turn I summon Chiron the Mage in attack mode! Then I activate my M/T cards Ring of Destruction on your little kid and Ring of Defense for myself!"
"Damn! Well I will activate my continuous trap card Backfire! Whenever one of my fire type monsters is destroyed you take 500 points of direct damage!"
"Think again as I discard a spell card from my hand to activate Chirons ability and destroy your trap card!"
Chiron the Mage: 1800/1000
A huge centaur appeared onto the field, its lower half kicking and galloping as its upper half swung a long staff upwards, shook back its long yellow hair and blasted apart the figures trap card. As it appeared, a huge ring of grenades attached itself to the figures Ultimate Baseball Kid and exploded, showering its controller with flames and shrapnel as Kaiba remained protected behind a huge shield.
"Now Chiron will destroy your Masked Dragon and I end my turn!"
Kaiba: 7250, MF: 4100
"Alright Mr. Kaiba the real duel begins now. I thought I would halve my life points to give you at least a bit of a chance! For now I activate my cards Dark Room of Nightmare, Meteor of Destruction, and my card Snatch Steal on your little mage! And because of my Masked Dragons effect I will summon up another Masked Dragon to the field! Now I sacrifice your mage and my Masked Dragon to summon Ryu-Ran in attack mode! And it attacks you directly!"
Ryu Ran: 2200/2600
"And my Meteor of Destruction card does 1000 damage to your life points, along with my Dark Room of Nightmare doing an extra 300 and Ryu-Ran attacks you directly!"
A huge yellow egg appeared on the field, covered in blue spot. Out of the egg a huge red dragon emerged, its tail, wings, feel, neck and head the only things visible. It took a great suck of air and blew out twin gouts of flame as a huge meteor crashed into the ground in front of Kaiba and he was encased in a huge room filled with shadows.
Kaiba: 3750, MF: 4100
"My move you fool? For now I will activate my magic card Raigeki and then set two cards and summon Vorse Raider in attack mode! Go my Vorse Raider attack his life points directly!"
Vorse Raider: 1900/1200
A huge demon appeared on the field, its hulking, muscular arms clutching a wicked blade-staff. The beast leapt off the ground and made two long cuts across the mysterious figure, throwing him back a bit before returning to Kaiba.
"I set two cards and end my move."
Kaiba: 3750, MF: 2200
"You done Kaiba? After I get my little fox back, I will summon up my Solar-Flare Dragon in attack mode and activate the magic card Tribute to the Doomed to destroy your monster and I attack you directly!"
Solar-Flare Dragon: 1500/1000
A huge flaming dragon emerged from the middle of the field, bursting up and roaring from its huge, fang-filled mouth as a huge mummified hand ripped Kaiba's monster on and a huge flame burst erupted around him.
Kaiba: 2250, MF: 2200
"This duel ends now! I will summon my monster Tribe-Infecting Virus! I discard a card to destroy all your pyro type monsters, then activate soul exchange to remove your little fox from your graveyard, and I play Monster-Reborn to summon my Vorse Raider back, attacking you with both and obliterating the last of your lifepoints!"
As Kaiba screamed, several large goblins emerged on the field. They flung some type of powder at the figures monsters and as they cackled, the creatures screeched and imploded, before falling away into cinders and ashes. Then, the Vorse Raider appeared and all the creatures leapt forward and slashed through the MF.
Kaiba: 2250, MF: -1100
"Oh Mr. Kaiba you have made quite a mistake! You should have just let me win but you had to be who you really are!"
As these final words escaped the figure, its eyes glowed fierce with fire again and the bottom of its robes suddenly burst into flames, which climbed slowly before the whole robe melted away and a huge flaming serpent emerged, its eyes glowing white hot before Kaiba's vision went black and he fell underneath the flames.
