Team Zero: Orichalcos
Chapter 25: Insector Buzz and the Queen of Insects
Weevil drew his card with no worry of Reku's two monsters. His Solar Flare Dragon was now considered an insect monster and had lost all of its ability. Plus now that it is considered insect, Insect Barrier prevented it from attacking. His other monster was Robotic Knight, but even though it was still capable of an attack, Weevil didn't seem to fear it any.
"I summon this lovely bug to the field in face up defense mode. Come on out Arsenal Bug (2000/2000)!" A strange flying insect monster with a spiked shield and a sword appeared curled up on Weevil's field. "Since there are no other insect type monsters on my field minus itself. It's attack and defense are reduced by 1000 points (1000/1000). That will be all of my turn." Weevil announce with an arrogant tone to his buzzing voice.
"My turn then, Draw!" Reku announced snapping the top card off his deck. Flashing it before his eyes he slid it into his hand and grabbed a card that was already there. "I sacrifice my Solar Flare Dragon and Robotic Knight to summon Mech Dragon Blaster (2500/2000)!" The flaming dragon snake monster and the robotic being faded away being replaced with a large green dragon monster. It's body was covered in various spots by machinery and gears. Roaring, it revealed a large cannon lodged inside its mouth.
"Your large dragon doesn't scare me."
"Really?" Reku questioned pointing to the strange bug monster. "Go ahead and attack it! Cannonball Dragon's Flame!" Snapping its jaws shut, the dragon monster sent a wave of fear across the air. Weevil however didn't seem affected. Opening up its powerful jaw the monstrous cannon inside began to flare up at the end. A large gun shot sound echoed through the crowds roar as a large cannonball sized fire ball shot out at the bug.
"Not so fast!" Weevil said whipping his arm around his body. "Go trap DNA Surgery!"
"What!" Reku said in complete shock as the said trap flipped up on Weevil's field.
"I will use it to change everything into insects." Weevil proceeded to jump up and clap his feet together as he talked. "That includes your little dragon mech."
The skin of the monster began to burst open as insectoid type appendages burst out. Eyes wide, the monster began to look as if it were in pain. Closing its eyes tight, a low grumble sound came from its throat. Reopening its eyes again it revealed bug shaped eyes instead of the dragonoid ones he had before.
The flame ball hit a network of yellow wires the sprung out of the magic card; Insect Barrier. Fizzling out, nothing was left but a small amount of smoke on the yellow bars of the network barrier.
"Dammit, how did I fall for an obvious trap like that?" Reku growled at his own foolish mistake. Looking at his hand he saw that there wasn't anything else he could do at present. "Turn end."
Ryokurio sat along in the room still. Shifting through another pile of cards, he slowly set a card aside. Finishing with the pile he set it back into the trunk.
"...what...what am I doing?" He asked under his breath to himself. As he finished, the seal started glowing brightly on his forehead. Gripping his head as if in pain, the glow soon vanished leaving him with a confident look in his eye and a wicked smile plastered on his face. He continued to shift through cards and pulling out specific ones.
The Seal of Orichalcos sat on the top of the pile he had set on the floor next to him. It is his 'deck' at this point. The six pointed star and rings started glowing.
"Looks like I have you locked down." Weevil slyly commented as he pulled his next card off his deck. "So how does my swarm feel to you?"
"Just make your damn move." Reku growled as Weevil held up the card he drew.
"Naw, I think I will drag this out a bit." He looked off to his side, eyes closed and smiling wide. "I end."
"Draw!" Reku announced pulling a card off his deck. "I set one card face down and that is all I can do." Reku's card appeared behind the large dragon insectoid monster.
"Well you are just no fun. Why don't you try to attack me?" Weevil mocked the already pissed Reku. "Here you go then, I summon my Cockroach Knight (800/900) in face up defense mode." Weevil's monster was a four armed green cockroach with a sword and a shield braced in front of it for protection. "And with an insect on my field, Arsenal Bug gains back the power it lost (2000/2000)."
Stretching out, the large bug monster grew in attack power. Hissing at Reku, a large machine appeared on its back with a huge cannon.
"I shift him to attack mode and equip him with my magic card; Insect Armor with Laser Cannon." Reku watched in amazement as the attack of the monster soared up again (2700/2000). "As you can guess, Insect Armor with Laser Cannon increases its attack by 700 points. Now blast his monster! Laser Blast!" Weevil whipped his are out towards Reku's monster. A blast of yellow light blasted out of the barrel, crashing into the gut of the large green dragon monster. A twinkle of white light and it vanished from the field.

"I end my turn on that note." Weevil announced to the angry fire/machine duelist as he slid a prized card into his graveyard.
"I will win this you bug." Reku commented snapping a new card off his deck. "I think I can work with this." Reku smiled as he pulled a card from his hand and slid it into his duel disk. "First I play Pot of Greed." Reku slid the said magic card into his disk. Drawing two cards he smiled at what he saw. "I play Monster Reborn to revive my Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000)." The magic card appeared in holographic form in front of him. Slowly it took the shape of the molten dragon monster he called with it.
"So?" Weevil cocked an eyebrow. "My DNA surgery turns it into an insect. And thanks to my barrier all insect attacks by you are invalid." As Weevil stated this, the bug like appendages popped out of the molten snake.
"So I will double my fun with a second Solar Flare Dragon." Reku announced placing his next card onto his duel disk. An identical monster to the first appeared on the field in a burst of flames. Slowly the bug like appendages popped out of its body just like the first as it changed sub types.
"Normally the solar lock can be a deadly one." Weevil said, again readjusting his golden glasses. "But while they are insects they don't protect each other."
"Right." Reku nodded, a smile crossing his face. "As long as they are insects."
"What are you planning?" Weevil asked, narrowing his brow with concern. So far this duel he hadn't feared anything Reku had thrown at him but now he was starting to worry.
"Open face down card!" Reku yelled pointing to the sky. The crowd was sent into an uproar as the card flipped up revealing a green bordered magic card. "Fire Tempest!"
"What!" Weevil stepped back in surprise.
"This magic card works like this." Reku said flipping the two cards in his hand around. "I discard two monsters with a fire attribute from my hand. I wipe all magic and trap cards from your side of the field." Reku smirked as the two cards he was holding were slid into his graveyard. "I discard Battle Footballer and Woodborg Inpachi to destroy your whole strategy!"
From Reku's graveyard slot a burst of red flames shot out. Spiraling in a large ring above the two duelist, it sent sparks raining down upon the whole field. Speeding up, it graduated to a tornado fashion and spiraled down. Weevil shielded his face with his arms as the massive spiral of fire engulfed the whole magic and trap zone. Sizzling out, nothing remained in the spot between Weevil and his monsters.
"Oh bug boy." It was Reku's turn to be smug. "My beasts are no longer held back by your damn barrier. Solar Flare Dragon attack his Cockroach Knight! First Wave Destroyer!" Opening its, no longer bug infested, jaw. The first dragon shot a blade of flames at the green bug cutting it apart and exploding the hologram.
"When it is destroyed, Cockroach Knight returns to the top of my deck." Weevil said sliding the monster onto his deck.
"Yep, and since now your monster has lost both its equipment and all insects on your field, it is back to having only 1000 attack." Reku said pointing to the weakened Arsenal Bug with two fingers. "Second Wave Destroyer!" He yelled as the other bug was chopped up by the flames.

"That ends my turn. Tieing the score." Reku announced as his two dragons blasted the bug duelist with a burst of flames.

Growling, Weevil drew his Cockroach Knight. "I defend with this...I get stuck in an endless loop. I don't, I lose faster." Weevil growled at the predicament he was in.
"Lets face it bug boy." Reku said from behind his two dragons. "You...are...screwed."
"Fine, I set this card." Even though he was being forced to do this, he had no choice. Suddenly his eyes widened, something had just occurred to him.
"My draw." Reku called. "I see you are going down fighting. Fine, First Wave Destroyer!" Bellowing the attack, the crowd shook the stadium with a roar of cheers. The face down cockroach was burned to pieces. "And Second Wave Destroyer! Attack his life directly!" The massive blade of flame engulfed the boy. Shielding himself from the attack, it did nothing to stop the life loss.

"Now you will see the power of my insect army." Weevil said, still covering himself with his arms.
"What!" Reku was confused. He had nothing in his hand, and the Cockroach Knight had been returned to his deck. What could he do?
"By attacking me directly and putting me down below 1500 you have allowed me to summon this." Weevil slowly lowered his arms and pulled his deck out of the deck slot. Fanning it out he grabbed a card out of it and slapped it onto his duel disk. "Insector Buzz (0/0)!"
"What?" Reku asked as a disgusting larva appeared on the field. Large, stain glass designed, wings buzzed out of the back of the brownish green larva. Large pinchers jutted out from the front of the beast, while two long black strips run from its 'eyes' to the tip of its tail. Its 'eyes' were indents in the creatures body with the disgusting brown skin covering them.
"My monster will wipe you out. Not only that." Weevil smirked again as he started to shuffle his deck. "I get out of that loop you thought you trapped me in."
"No dammit. I needed him to be stuck in that." Reku growled as he watched Weevil slowly shuffle his deck.
"No." Akina gave a disappointed whine. "Reku had him."
"I have never heard of Insector Buzz." Ronin said leaning forward with interest. "There must be something more to it. It sure doesn't have the attack power of squat."
"Weevil." Reku yelled. "I will still end my turn, dealing you 1000 points of damage." The two snake dragons shot streams of fire, engulfing Weevil again.

Drawing a card, Weevil's eyes lit up. Flipping it around he showed it to Reku. "Do you like it?"
"What?" Reku was surprised. Staring at the face of the card, that wave of confusion flooded back onto his face. "So what? You have a Kumootoko (700/1400) in your deck."
"Indeed." Weevil said closing his eyes. He held the weak effectless bug in his hand high in the air. "Now observe the first ability of Insector Buzz! I can trade this bug in for the queen of all bugs! I get my Insect Queen from my deck." Pulling out his deck he flipped through it till he found the card he wanted. Pulling it out he slid the other bug in its place.
"What good does it do you?" Reku questioned. "It takes two tributes plus it needs a sacrifice to attack. Besides that, I have you solar locked."
"True, but the seconded ability of Insector Buzz activates. I can off it from my field and a Insect Queen from my hand to summon..." Weevil held the newest card as high in the air as his little arms would take it. "...Insector Buzz-Queen of all Insects (3000/3000)!"
The large insect queen appeared on the field, now colored in the disgusting brownish green larva skin of the monster that was there before. Large navy blue blade stuck out the back of its neck, running down its back it ran right through the large wings.
"Watch as my queens effect activates!" Weevil sneered as a plague of small bugs burst out of the skin of the large buggish creature. "I negate all effects of effect monsters on your field that have been on the field for at least one turn. That includes both your dragons. I also gain 500 attack for each insect on the field, that includes itself (3500/3000)!" Weevil's large bug moved slowly across the field and bit down on one of the large snake monsters.

"Now I get a Insect Monster Token on my field in face up defense mode." Weevil sneered as the large insect laid an egg on the field upping its own attack power (4000/3000). "That is my turn. Feel fear yet? My Ultimate insect stands before you, nothing you have can knock out a 4000 attack point monster."
"True." Reku said drawing a card. "But who said I need to destroy your large bug to win this?"
"Well how else will you do it?" Weevil asked. "Your dragon has no more effect thanks to my Queen."
"But you said it only works on monsters that have been on the field for a turn." Reku said holding up the two cards in his hand. "And I can wipe you out this turn. I summon my Raging Flame Sprite (100/200) in attack mode!" The small pixie monster did a cute twirl as it appeared on the field before Reku. In its hand it held a strange wand with a white ball at the end. "Magic card go! Sacred Blue Flame!"
"Blue Flame!" Weevil's eyes lit up with fear.
"Yep, unlike Sacred Red Flame, Blue Flame only gives 500 attack power to a fire monster." Reku's little sprite was surrounded in a bright blue aura as its power increased (600/200). "Now, Raging Flame Sprite! End this duel with a direct attack!" Twirling the wand about in its fingers, the sprite finally pointed it at Weevil blasting him was a stream of blue flames.

"Your...sprite...can attack...directly?" Weevil said in complete and utter shock. Reku gave a smug nod to the boy holding up the card.
"Not all power comes in strength." Reku said as he walked off the field. "That put him in his place." Reku smirked as he and Ronin passed each other.
"So are you ready boy?" Mako asked Ronin as he walked upon the field. Giving Weevil a slight push he got the bug duelist to move out of the way.
"I am Mako." Ronin said as his duel disk snapped into place. "Time to see who is the best water duelist around."
"Then little guppie, it is time..."
"Time to Duel!" They both yelled drawing their opening cards.
