Here's my second foray into Yu-gi-oh GX. There's some reference to my pervious story Clash of Heroes. I only own my own characters and cards.
Shadow of the Ninja
Chapter 1: Sunset Showdown
A hang glider flew over Duel Academy late at night. It landed on the island and its pilot, a ninja wearing a black uniform over his body looked at the crescent moon over head. "Soon I will avenge my family's honor and not even the great Manjyome Thunder can stop me!"
The next day Judai and Sho, who was promoted to Ra Yellow, were watching duel between Mika and Shingo, who was promoted to Blue Obelisk. Hayato graduated last year and was now a card designer at Industrial Illusions. Also watching was Daichi Misawa and a new Ra Yellow student; Tyranno Kensan. He had black hair done in dreadlocks and brown eyes and wore a bandanna that looked like a T-rex head; he was a duelist who specialized in dinosaur cards. "This going to come right down to the wire." said Sho.
"Yeah, what a tight duel!" said Judai.
Shingo LP: 2300
Mika LP: 1900
Shingo had an Airknight Parshath on the field and one face down card. Mika had Rouge Doll and Mysterious Puppeteer on the field.
Airknight Parshath
Level 5
Fairy/Light
1900/1400
Effect: When this monster attacks an opponent's defense position monster with lower defense than this card's attack inflict the difference to your opponent as battle damage. When this monster damages your opponent's life points draw 1 card from your deck
Mysterious Puppeteer
Level 4
Warrior/Earth
1000/1500
Effect: When this monster is normal or flipped summoned increase your life points by 500 for each monster on your side of the field on every one of your standby phases.
Rouge Doll
Level 4
Spellcaster/Light
1600/1000
"Hope your ready Shingo." said Mika. "First I play the spell card Lightning Vortex; by discarding one card from my hand I can destroy all of the monsters on your side of the field!"
Parshath was surrounded by a tornado of lightning and broke apart.
"Now I sacrifice Rouge Doll and Mysterious Puppeteer to summon Giant Doll Calabrena!"
A giant French doll appeared after the sacrifice.
Giant Doll Calabrena
Level 8
Fiend/Dark
2500/3000
"And thanks to its special ability I can increase its attack points by the attack power of one of the monsters I sacrificed to summon it and I chose Rouge Doll!"
Giant Doll Calabrena 4100/3000
"Giant Doll Calabrena, attack Shingo with Crushing Hug!" The doll moved in closer to attack the centaur-like fairy.
"Sorry Mika." said Shingo. "But I won't be getting any hugs from your doll today, I activate my Ring of Destruction trap card! Now Calabrena is destroyed and we each take damage equal to its attack points."
A ring with red bombs appeared around the Calabrena's neck and they blew destroying her.
Shingo LP: 0
Mika LP: 0
"It's a draw!" said Tyranno.
"I'm sorry you didn't win." said Judai as he went down to the field.
"Drawing with my girlfriend is can be better than winning."
"Especially in a love duel."
"Ha, you're just a couple of softies." said Jun Manjyome, he had black spiky hair, blue eyes and wore a black jacket. "A real duelist always goes for the win no matter what type of duel it is!"
Jun Manjyome, or Manjyome Thunder as he was also known as, was one of the top duelists of Duel Academy. After being beaten by Judai and Daichi he was going to be demoted from Blue Obelisk to Ra Yellow but instead dropped out to study on his own. Returning after his long absence he was forced to join Red Slifer, he still had hope that he'd one day go back to Obelisk Blue and beat Judai.
"Well it's not like you're an expert on love duels." said Daichi.
"Yeah, you really blew yours with Asuka." said Judai.
"It wasn't that bad." said Manjyome.
Sho spoke up. "Well if you don't consider that she practically rejected you and you made it easier for Kagemaru to get the seven keys to Legendary Demons almost causing the end of the world bad, then no it wasn't."
"He's got a point Jun." said Manjyome's spirit partner Ojama Yellow. He was a yellow monster with snail-like eyes and wore a bright red pair of briefs. Manjyome was often wondered how he ended up with such a weak monster and his brothers; Ojama Green and Ojama Black, as his partners.
"Well no one asked you!" he yelled to both Sho and Ojama Yellow. He then left in a hurry.
"Is he always like that?" asked Mika.
"Nah," said Judai. "Only when he's in a good mood."
Asuka and her brother Fubuki were walking over to the Obelisk Blue dorm. He had brown hair and brown eyes. "So when are you going to find a boyfriend?" asked Fubuki.
Asuka blushed, the one thing about her brother she didn't like was how he kept trying to play matchmaker with her. "Fubuki please, I'm not a little girl anymore. Maybe someday I'll find someone who I'll fall in love with, but until then I'm a duelist first."
But just then they were suddenly knocked out by the ninja. "Pleasant dreams, now I need a couple of your cards in order to bait my trap!"
Later in the day Judai and the others were looking for Asuka and Fubuki. As they gathered to tell what they found Sho came up with a letter. "I found this on the front doorstep to your room Manjyome."
Manjyome read the note.
Manjyome,
I have captured people you care about, if you wish to free them then meet at the meadow by the forest at sunset.
Fail to comply and I cannot guarantee their safety.
Signed,
Your foe
"Who is this guy?" asked Shingo.
"And more importantly how can we be sure that he was Asuka and Fubuki?" said Tyranno.
"These came with the letter." said Manjyome. He held up two cards Eltoile Cyber and Red Eyes Black Dragon.
"Those are Asuka and Fubuki's Cards!" said Judai.
"That settles it." said Daichi. "We must meet whoever it is and get them back."
And if he thinks he can lay a finger on my Asuka then he's in for a world of pain! Manjyome thought to him self.
The sun was setting as they approached the meadow. "I hope we're not too late." Judai said. He and Sho were the first out there when a couple of Kunai pierced the ground at their feet.
"Whoa!" Sho said obviously spooked along with Judai.
"I see that Manjyome was too much of a coward to face me alone!" The ninja jumped out of the forest, he wore a custom duel disk on his arm. I am Kuchinawa Fujibayashi and I have been waiting for you Jun Manjyome!"
"Where's Asuka and Fubuki!" said Daichi.
Kuchinawa held up a key. "They're locked inside a storage shed nearby and I have the only key. The only way to get it is for Manjyome to defeat me in a duel, but if I win his eldest brother must resign from political office, his middle brother must disband his company and he must give up dueling for good!"
The Manjyome family had a goal of running the world by dominating the fields of politics, finance and dueling. The eldest brother, Chousaku, was a politician and the middle brother, Shouji, ran a large company. "That's crazy!" said Shingo. "There's no way he's gonna accept those terms!"
"On the contrary." said Manjyome. "You forget who I am! 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, Manjyome Thunder!" (AN: Manjyome means 10,000 in Japanese) "And I won't lose!"
"Duel!" Manjyome and Kuchinawa said.
Manjyome LP: 4000
Kuchinawa LP: 4000
"Wow, this duel is gonna rock!" said Judai.
"Stomp 'em!" said Tyranno.
"How about I start off!" said Manjyome. "I summon Armed Dragon LV 3 in attack mode!"
A small dragon covered in armor appeared on the field.
Armed Dragon LV 3
Level 3
Dragon/Wind
1200/900
"Now I'll play two cards facedown and end my turn!" Manjyome then started thinking to himself. This combo should take care of him by next turn. When he destroys my weak dragon I'll activate my Chthonian Blast trap card destroying his monster then I'll activate Call of the Haunted to bring it back just in time for its special ability to kick in.
"I wonder what kind of monsters Kuchinawa will use?" said Mika.
"Whatever he uses Manjyome better be careful." said Sho.
"A ninja is trained to see through deception." said Kuchinawa. He then started moving his hands into strange signs.
"What's with that?" said Shingo.
"He's building Chakra." said Daichi. "It's a type of mental energy the ninja are said to use in battles."
Kuchinawa then stopped. "I summon a monster in defense mode and play one card facedown and that will be all for now."
"Ok then my turn!" said Manjyome. "And since it's the next standby phase since I summoned my Armed Dragon it evolves from level 3 to level 5!" the dragon got bigger and had blades growing out of it's forearms.
Armed Dragon LV5
Level 5
Dragon/Wind
2400/1700
"Now I can send a monster from my hand to the graveyard and destroy a monster on the field with fewer attack points then the one I sacrificed, but I could do better so I play the spell card Level Up! Now normally my Armed Dragon would have to wait until the end phase of a turn where it destroyed a monster to evolve further, but Level Up allows me to evolve right now! So it now evolves to Level 7!
The dragon got even bigger and had blades all over its body.
Armed Dragon LV 7
Level 7
Dragon/Wind
2800/1000
"And the best part is that not only does it keep its special ability but it now affects every monster on the field with fewer attack points then the sacrificed monster!"
"Wow!" said Sho. "He got out a powerful monster and it's only the second turn!"
"Not only that." said Daichi. "But he can still summon a monster this turn and if it has 1200 attack points or more he can win this duel in this turn.
"Now I can't see what monster is in defense mode, but since you didn't attack last turn I'm guessing it has fewer then the 1500 hundred attack points of the Y-Dragon Head I'm sending to the graveyard!"
After the card was put into the Graveyard, Armed Dragon sent a wave from one of it's blades to the face down monster that was revealed to be a raccoon with a staff and an oriental hat that was easily destroyed.
Phantom Beast Tanuki
Level 2
Beast/Earth
500/300
"Well my Phantom Beast Tanuki may be destroyed, but when it is sent from the field to the graveyard one of your monsters is locked into defense mode!"
Armed Dragon then turned to stone.
"Well you still don't have any monsters to protect you. Now rise Chthonian Soldier!
A man with red eyes in grey armor appeared.
Chthonian Soldier
Level 4
Warrior/Dark
1200/1000
"Now Chthonian Soldier, attack directly with Wind Sword Slash!"
Chthonian Soldier rushed forward.
Kuchinawa eyes were steeled. "Now you will see how focusing Chakra has allowed me to predict your move, I activate Wind Barrier Jutsu! This trap can cancel any direct attack!"
A barrier made of wind took Chthonian Soldier's attack.
"Alright it's your move now." said Manjyome.
Kuchinawa went through the hand motions to build Chakra again. "I summon Lady Ninja Yae in attack mode!"
A girl ninja with long green hair in a purple outfit appeared.
Ninja Lady Yae
Level 3
Warrior/Wind
1100/200
"Your facedown cards are of no concern with Yae's special ability! By simply sending a Wind attribute monster from my hand to the graveyard, every spell and trap card on your side of the field is returned to your hand!"
Kuchinawa sent a card with a half-bird half-human monster in the robes of a feudal warlord from his hand to the graveyard and then both of Manjyome's facedown cards were sent back to his hand.
"And there's more the monster I sent to the graveyard was Phantom Beast Tengu and whenever he is sent from my hand to the graveyard I can take any spell card from my deck and add it to my hand!"
Phantom Beast Tengu
Level 3
Winged Beast/Wind
1300/700
Kuchinawa took a spell card with the image of a Shinto shrine in the forest. This will be most useful. "Now I play the Spell card Thunder Strike Jutsu! Now I chose a random card from you hand and if it's a spell or trap card it's sent to the graveyard and since I just returned the card on the far right it goes to the graveyard right away!"
Lighting struck Manjyome's Call of the Haunted and he then put it in his graveyard.
"Man this guy's good!" said Judai. "He uses all of his cards in perfect unison!"
"I just wish he could hurry up and finish his turn!" said Tyranno.
"Your cards may work together but your ninja will be destroyed by my next turn."
"That's what you think, I play Suriken Storm! This spell card destroys one of your monsters for every monster on my side of the field that has the word ninja in its name so goodbye Armed Dragon!" The Statue of Armed Dragon was destroyed. "And now for the continuous spell card Shrine Hidden in the Forest. This card gives a 200 attack point boost to any monster on my side of the field that has ninja in its name!"
Ninja Lady Yae 1300/200
"Ninja Lady Yae attack Chthonian Soldier with Cross Slice!"
Yae attack the Solider cutting him into four pieces that then shattered.
Manjyome LP: 3900
The Soldier's sword was tossed in the air. "You activated Chthonian Soldier's special ability!" said Manjyome. "Whenever he's destroyed you take the same damage I do!"
The sword flew at Kuchinawa.
Kuchinawa LP: 3900
"Damage or not you're finished!" said Kuchinawa.
"Wrong I'm just getting fired up!"
