Disclaimer: Yeah. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or the Fairytales and stories used in Yen's deck.
Some of Yen's monsters you might know of, but a good deal of them are from Fairytales around the world.
Chapter 3: The Fairytale Battle
There it was… Duelist Academy. The school itself was set into the side of a mountain, and the dorms were scattered about the island. Maris reached over and poked Josiah, then soon realized that such an attempt wouldn't work; she then resorted to yanking on the sleeping boy's ear, waking him up rather rudely. Josiah looked around groggily, reached up to rub at his ear. "What do you want, Maris? I was… trying to sleep…" he mumbled as Maris grabbed his shirt collar and forced his face to the window. Josiah caught a glance at a large, yellow beach house, then Maris pushed him back into his seat.
"That's the Ra Yellow dorms; boys get the middle floor, girls to the top floor. There's about… forty students in Ra Yellow. The average duelist level is 4.63, the top Freshman duelist is to be decided, the top Sophomore duelist is me, Maris Angrevo, the top Junior duelist is Tidus Gresser, the top Senior duelist is Moira McLeod, and the average win rate against non-Ra students are as follows: seventy-nine percent against Slifer Reds, and fifty-one percent against Obelisk Blues." rambled Maris as the helicopter began it's final descent, Josiah merely blinking a couple of times and raising a finger in question:
"What's duelist level, Maris?"
Maris smacked Josiah on the arm softly, then grinned. "Duelist level is a number proportional to how good you duel. It's one through ten, with one being the best. The best duelist in the Academy, Obelisk Blue sophomore Juanita Delgado, has a level of 2.01. My own personal level is 2.31. Based on your performance with Professor Densk, I'd say your duelist level is about four or so. Tidus' is 3.42." Josiah frowned a bit at the mention of his own duel level, then inquired, "Is there anyone with a duelist level of one?" This question brought a nod from Maris, who yawned widely before answering the question:
"Yes. Yugi Motou, the King of Games, is the only person with a perfect duelist level of one. Few people actually get anything above a two… but there are others. Seto Kaiba has a 1.12, Joey Wheeler has a 1.55, Maximillion Pegasus has a 1.79, and Mai Valentine has a 1.65. Of course, duelist level is the most accurate way to determine winning probability against any given opponent… provided they have been registered in the WWDD, or the World Wide Duelist Database, which most tournament-level duelists have. Consider you dueling against me… a four against my 2.31... I'd say your winning probability would be around seventeen percent, also factoring in my tournament wins and awards."
Josiah's brow furrowed in thought and mild discomfort. Was he really a level four duelist? Were there THAT many people there that could duel him into the ground? His train of thought was interrupted as the copter came to a halt, the door flying open. Josiah had to scramble to prevent his cards from being sucked right out of the door, then almost got bowled over by the other students as they left the helicopter. So he lay there on the floor, then a nudging in his side made him get up a bit. It was Maris, and she had extended a hand with a weird smile on her face.
"Get up. We have to get to the dorms… Tidus is already gone, and is probably heading there as we speak." Josiah took Maris' smaller hand in his, then stood up using most of his own strength while she tugged as hard as she could. Josiah also could have sworn he saw a little bit of red in Maris' cheeks, but thought it best not to dwell on things like that at the moment, then gathered up his stuff and hopped off the helicopter. The island seemed so much bigger close up… and the helicopter had deposited them right next to the male dorms, which was a plus.
Maris and Josiah made their way over to the side of the dorm, which was oddly-shaped like a L-block from Tetris, and came upon an oaken door with a slot for a card key. Josiah fumbled around in his pockets and pulled the god keycard from his pocket, then slid it into the slot, the door opening automatically. Both Maris and Josiah stepped in, and Josiah sat there with a look of awe on his face at the main area of the dorms; it was large, spacious, fitted with three televisions and a large glass wall, giving a great view of the ocean. He looked over to the left and saw a tall, winding staircase which led to the two upper levels, all with hallways and doors, as least from Josiah's point of view.
Maris stepped over and took Josiah's keycard, looking at it intently, then motioning to the staircase. "Your room is on the second floor, room number 22… your roommate is a kid named Yen von Fauntleroy. He's fifteen years old and the son of the esteemed Elgus von Fauntleroy, who owns the Elgus mines in Africa. I've never met him, but I do know that his deck is a Fairy Tale themed deck… it has cards like Cinderella, King of Thieves - Aladdin, Zlatovlaska the Golden-haired, Father Christmas, and if he has it, the strongest Fairy Tale monster there is, The Great Panjandrum. His duelist level is 2.43, by the way." Both students headed up the stairs, heading to the second door on the left. Maris nodded, then gave Josiah a little wave. "I've got to get going. There are some things I have to take care of… but I'll see you tonight at the dorm dinner."
Josiah nodded, then slid his card into the door, the lock clicking open. The boy wrapped his hand around the handle and opened it up, the sound of what seemed to be the music of a somewhat popular boy band whirling around his ears. His room was big, to say the least. Straight ahead of him, about fifteen feet or so, were a pair of bunk beds, the mattress on top surrounded by cutouts and prints of male models with some hand-drawn pictures. "Um.. Did I accidentally get the wrong room? I mean… oh, I guess I did, sorry." mumbled Josiah as a girl turned the corner off to the side, looking at him strangely. She stood at his height as was wearing nothing but a bright green turtleneck and a pair of mildly tight pants. Shiny, straight blonde hair dangled about her shoulders, and her face was a tinted peach, with a pair of curious blue eyes.
"No.. you are in the male dorms, and I am Yen von Fauntleroy." Said the girl, making Josiah look over and over again. "… You're a girl. Unless there's suddenly co-ed dorms, I'll be leaving you now." Yen blinked, then stuck 'her' hands under the hem of her turtle neck and pulled it up and over, then quickly did the same with white shirt beneath that, causing Josiah to look away for a second. "No, no, look! I am indeed Yen von Fauntleroy!" Josiah looked, and sure enough, was the bare chest of a boy. There was a brief flash in his mind, something he couldn't quite catch, then he just fell over, unconscious.
----------------
Josiah awoke on the lower bunk, blinking a few times and sitting up, looking around groggily. His gaze met with Yen's, and he immediately shot back against the wall, giving Yen a strange, yet terrified look. Yen returned the look with a hurt one, shuffling a bit in his chair. "You just… fainted. I managed to drag you into the bed… but you've been out for four hours. The dorm dinner is going to be starting soon… I received your clothing about an hour ago." said Yen, brushing off the front of his uniform, which was basically a small version of Tidus'.
Josiah shook his head a few times, then rubbed at his eyes, squinting at Yen intensely. "How… how can someone with that face possibly be a guy?" Such a question brought about a laugh from Yen, who stood up and stretched his limbs with a grin. "That's what everyone says. Haven't you seen some men from Japan? A lot of them could pass for girls if they wanted to… consider me like them in that regard. I digress, however… you need to start getting ready for the dorm dinner. You have about five minutes." The amount of time given made Josiah merely shrug, and he reclined against the wall.
"So, what's with all the posters around your bunk, "Yen"?' asked Josiah, reaching up to scratch at his head. "I see no reason to tell you that, and as much as I'd love to stay and chat, I have to go meet up with a few of my friends. There's a lot of dueling to be done, and things to be tasted! You should really hurry up and get dressed so you can head downstairs." said Yen, standing up and stretching, turning around and heading towards the door. "See you later!" were the last words Yen said before the door was slammed shut.
Josiah blinked and yawned, scratching at his side before tossing the covers to the side and stepping off the bed, looking to his left. There was a small kitchen for preparing food, even with a small table and some folding chairs, and there was a stack of dishes neatly piled next to the microwave. Josiah made his way over and opened the cupboards, and was amused to see that it was completely stocked. He turned towards the table and saw a box with his name on it, which he opened. Inside was a brand new duel disk, which he took out and placed to the side. Underneath was his Ra Yellow uniform, and a letter of some sort.
Josiah opened the letter, and this is what he read:
Dear Josiah,
Instead of just leaving your stuff laying out, I packed it up for you! Also, there's a card inside I'd like you to have, as a little gift from me, your new roommate. Consider it the first step in a great friendship. I'll be looking forward to seeing you at the dinner, and possibly even dueling you someday!
Sincerely,
Yen von Fauntleroy
Josiah smiled a little and took the card out of the envelope, turning it over so he could look at it. "Hmm… why in the world would he give me Zlatovlaska the Golden-haired? Sure, she's got a good ability… for fairytale decks, though… ah, what the hell. I'll use it anyways." mumbled Josiah, taking his deck out of his pocket and sliding his new card into it. He then slid his deck into his new duel disk and removed his uniform from the box, getting dressed in a flash; the clothes fit perfectly, even over his normal clothing, tailored just a little larger than his exact measurements.
He slid on his duel disk, finding it a lot more comfortable than his old one, looking it over with a certain awe, then shook his head and headed towards the door, hearing the soft sound of a violin as he got closer to it. Upon opening the door, the soft sound of melodious classical touched his ears, but then the addition of several electronic sounds melded together to make it classical techno. Josiah moved to the stairs and went down, blinking as he looked around the main room, which was now filled with every single Ra Yellow student and Professor Densk as well, who was sitting down in a chair across from Tidus', engaged in a tabletop duel, the little holograms shifting back and forth across the table.
Maris was sitting on a couch, surrounded by several girls and a few boys, talking very rapidly and pointing at the screen of a TV, which contained footage of the Battle City tournament, specifically the battle between Yugi Motou and Seto Kaiba. Yen was standing at one of the tables, helping himself to a bowl of soup from the wide variety of food while chatting with a few of the other students. Josiah made his way over to watch the duel between The Professor and Tidus, which seemed to be coming to an end, as Tidus' only monster was Apple Goddess Idun in defense mode (500/2500), whereas Densk had his True Master - Lei Kuugo in attack mode, as well as another monster Josiah hadn't seen before. He was wearing a bright brown cowboy outfit, complete with little leather tassels on the edges and a plain leather cowboy hat to finish the look. He was holding what looked like.. Well, a .45 magnum. (3400/1000)
Densk: 2100
Tidus: 750
"Now, now, Tidus. Your use of spell and trap cards is pathetic compared to your use of monsters, meaning you've had little to no chance of beating me from the beginning. Anyways, I digress… I believe it's my turn!" said the Professor, drawing a card. "Hmm… I'll play the spell card you know as Shield Crush, which will obliterate your Apple Goddess… and even with her effect of giving you five hundred life points every time a magic card is used, you're still gone." Tidus' monster exploded into digital bits as the beam of green light that shot from Densk's card connected with it; all the holograms faded soon after.
Both of them shook hands, then Densk stood up and stretched. "I've got a few students to talk to… and some soup to retrieve." he mumbled, heading off into the crowd. Josiah felt a tap on his shoulder, so he turned around, coming face to face with Yen, the strong smell of peppered soup filling his nose. He took a step back and smiled softly as Yen spoke up, "Hey, Josiah. I know you've just gotten down here, and I was just about to eat when I had a great idea… let's have a little pre-dinner duel, right here, with our duel disks; I hate those tabletop things." Josiah blinked, then shrugged and nodded, stepping over into a more open area near the stairs, Yen setting his bowl of soup on a nearby table, both students raising their duel disks and getting a few stares.
Josiah: 4000
Yen: 4000
Each student drew five cards, followed by Yen drawing a sixth. "I believe I'll go first… and I'll start with Reynard Fox in attack mode!" Yen set a card onto his duel disk, and what looked like a plain old red fox appeared on his side of the field, soon rising up on it's hind legs and giving what seemed like a smirk. (500/500) "I'll then set a card face down and end my turn." said Yen with a strange smile on his face; the kind that makes you feel as though something bad is going to happen.
Josiah drew his card, then tossed a card onto his duel disk. "I'll play Legendary Squire - Kryn in attack mode! He hasn't got an ability, but he'll be able to take out your monster with ease." A blonde-haired boy appeared on Josiah's side of the field, wielding a curved sword in one hand and a small shield in the other. He was wearing some very worn leather armor and cloth pants, and a single clump of hair covered his right eye from view. (1500/600) "Now, attack, my hero!"
Josiah's Legendary Hero ran across the field, raising it up high and swinging it down with admirable force; but, right before the stroke connected, there was a snap and what seemed like a large band of rubber shot out from the ground, slamming against the Legendary Hero and flinging him back to his original position. "Tsk tsk. Reynard Fox was a trickster, one so great he even escaped his own death. By discarding two cards from my hand, I can negate any attack on him." snickered Yen, sliding two cards into his graveyard. Josiah shrugged and slid a card into his duel disk. "One card face down, and that'll do."
Yen pressed a button on his duel disk, then gestured to the face-down card on his field, which turned up, revealing what looked like an Arabian Palace. "Before I draw, I'll first activate the card One Hundred Arabian Nights, which works as such: Any time I summon a Fairytale monster, ten nights will pass. Once one hundred nights have passed, something good will happen. Anyways, I'll be drawing now…" Yen drew his card and set another one onto his duel disk. "I'll sacrifice Reynard Fox to summon The Easter Rabbit in attack mode!" Yen's monster disappeared from his side of the field, then was replaced by a snow-white anthropomorphic rabbit easily taller than either of them, clutching a basket of eggs and staring down Josiah's monster with it's red eyes. (1650/500)
"Firstly, The Easter Rabbit allows us to each take a card from each other's decks and switch them, and I know just what I card I want from your deck… and that's Emperor - True Form!" cackled Yen, pointing at Josiah. Josiah made his way over to Yen and pulled his card from his deck, handing to the other student, getting his deck in return. Josiah looked through it, and slid out a card, handing his deck back to it. "I'll be taking your best card, The Great Panjandrum, if you don't mind." Yen nodded and slid Josiah's card into his deck, which was automatically shuffled while Josiah made his way back to his side, his own deck shuffling as he moved.
"Second, I'll attack your Legendary Hero - Kryn! Easter Rabbit! Attack with Easter Surprise!" shouted Yen. The Easter Rabbit reached into his basket and pulled out a couple of eggs, winding up and flinging them at Josiah's monster. "Hold on! I'll activate the trap card known as Stand-In! This allows me to switch any monster on my side of the field with any monster in my hand that has less attack points, and I choose Legendary Hero - Steven!" said Josiah, tapping a button on his duel disk and replacing his monster. The blonde-haired youth disappeared, and in his place appeared a slightly younger brown-blonde haired teenager, clothed in simple cloth armor and pants, holding a short sword in one hand. (800/800)
It was short lived, however; the eggs collided with Josiah's monster and exploded with mighty force, leaving nothing left of the poor monster. "Well, when Steven is sent to the graveyard from battle, the monster who destroyed him loses attack points equal to his own, but I'll still take the damage." said Josiah quietly, watching his life points dip down a little bit, but the Easter Rabbit started twitching a little bit, then fell down to one knee, shrinking in size. (850/500) "Hmm… interesting. However, I'll set one card face down and end my turn."
Josiah: 3150
Yen: 4000
Josiah drew and swiftly slid two cards into his duel disk soon after. "I'll activate the magic card Living Death Fusion! By paying one thousand life points, I can fuse a monster in my hand and a monster in my graveyard, and I choose to fuse my Legendary Heroes Steven and Kryn!" Josiah's graveyard shone with a flash of light, then a monster came to be on his side of the field, but it really just looked like Legendary Hero Kryn, only his face was a little darker, and he was now clad in what looked like a ninja outfit, only without the face mask and a pair of shoulder plates on. (2200/1800)
"This is Reborn Child - Kryn! My first order of business will be to activate his effect, which destroys all magic and trap cards in each of our hands. Thank goodness I placed my only other card on the field before I summoned him… what about you, Yen?" inquired Josiah, perking an eyebrow. Yen nodded solemnly, and Josiah's monster swung out his hand, flinging a kunai at the boy, the knife sticking into a card, which was sent to the graveyard. "If that how you want to play, that's fine with me! I activate my trap card, Somewhere over the Rainbow! This allows me to place one trap or magic card from my discard pile directly into my trap or magic zone by paying five hundred life points!"
Josiah: 2150
Yen: 3500
A giant rainbow erupted from Yen's discard slot and landed behind his Easter Rabbit, a card sliding down along it and settling above the ground, Josiah unable to see exactly what it was. "Whatever. I'll attack your Easter Rabbit with my Reborn Child - Kryn!" said Josiah, Kryn shifting into an attack stance. "Stop right there! I'll activate the trap card The Farce of Samson Cat! This sends an attacking monster on the field back to its owner's hand regardless of card effects, but I'll lose half the monster's attack points from my life points, which adds up to one thousand, one hundred total."
Josiah: 2150
Yen: 2400
First there was a meow, then it was magnified into a roar, the noise vibrating through Josiah's monster, which flew back into its card. "Hmm… well played, Yen! It seems I've made quite a mistake in judging you a bit early." said Josiah with a grin, receiving one in kind from Yen. "Heh. I'm not one of the top-ranked duelists for nothing." came the reply, to which Josiah nodded. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
Yen drew a card and looked over his options. "I'll play the magic card Card of Sanctity! Let's draw to six, Josiah." mumbled Yen, drawing five cards with a somber smile while Josiah drew his own. "I'll sacrifice my Easter Rabbit to summon Wassilissa the Beautiful in attack mode!" Yen's white rabbit disappeared from the field, and was replaced by a girl in a lovely orange dress with what looked like a black vest on her torso, which had lovely floral designs printed upon it, as did her hat, which was a large circular thing that stood up around a foot tall. Her face was a lovely peach and lovely blonde hair dangled over the right side of her torso in a long ponytail. (2000/2000)
"Wassilissa, attack with the Skull of Baba-Yaga!" shouted Yen, and his monster produced a bleached skull with the flames of candles for eyes. The flames suddenly released a flash of red light and a burst of flame was shot at Josiah. "Activate trap card, Ancient Defense! If I have no monsters on the field and Legendary Hero - Steven in my graveyard, I can negate the attack and summon my Legendary Hero in defense mode!" said Josiah, gesturing to the field just as his Legendary Hero - Steven reappeared, holding out a hand and deflecting the fire blast with an unseen barrier.
"Hmm. Well, whenever Wassilissa the Beautiful attacks, I'm allowed to summon a wooden doll token at the end of my turn in defense mode, provided I deduct one thousand attack points from Wassilissa, which I will." mumbled Yen, while his monster put the skull away and pulled out a small wooden doll from it's pocket, which sprang to life and stood next to it's much taller master. (0/1000) "I'll place two cards face down and end my turn." Josiah smiled and drew a card, then slid two into his duel disk. "First, I'll activate the magic card Elemental Ascension, which allows me to sacrifice a Legendary Hero - Steven to summon any of his elemental varieties… so I choose to summon Legendary Earth Knight - Steven in attack mode!"
Josiah's monster stabbed it's sword into the earth, which swirled around it and erupted upward, covering the monster in brown earth, which cracked and fell off to reveal a fully armored warrior with a mountain symbol on the center of his brown armor and a large, shining sword in his right hand. (2100/2400) "Now I'll also play Legendary Hero - Vincent in attack mode!" A swirling cape appeared on the field, then conformed to a crimson suit of light armor, which was filled in by a black haired man, youthful in appearance but aging nicely. He swung a hand out, and a silver blade flashed into existence; he grabbed the handle and struck a fighting position. (1900/1400)
"I'll then place a card face down… then order my Legendary Earth Knight to attack your Wassilissa the Beautiful with Gravity Sword!" Josiah's monster raised it sword and gave a mighty swing, releasing a wave of black/purple energy which circled around Wassilissa, then slammed down on the monster with several hundred times the normal gravity, obliterating it entirely. Yen smirked, then pressed a button on his duel disk. "I'm going to activate the trap card Christmas Miracle! It's a continuous trap that prevents more than one attack per round and restores five hundred life points to each of us at the beginning of my turn."
Josiah: 2150
Yen: 1300
"Heh. I'll end my turn, then." said Josiah, giving a light bow. Yen drew his card, and his face up Christmas Miracle card shone to life, scattering sparkles over each of the duelists and increasing their life points. "I'll activate the ritual magic card The Magic of Christmas, and send one monster in my hand to the graveyard to meet the level requirement of eight or more stars… to summon Father Christmas in attack mode!" The field grew dark, then snow began to drift down from a dark night sky. Lampposts sprung up from the ground, which then turned to a stone street, a large Christmas tree appearing off to their side. A sudden swirl of snow shot into the sky, then a large form appeared in a flash of sparkles; it was a man with a fine white beard and moustache, clad in a bright red suit with a white fuzzy lining. (2700/2500)
"Firstly, you may have noticed the change in scenery. That's because I've just played the field spell card Christmas Night, which activates one of Father Christmas' abilities and also grants an additional three hundred life points whenever one of us plays a fairytale monster. Because Christmas Miracle is on the field, Father Christmas cannot be destroyed in battle, and because I've played Christmas Night, he is unaffected by trap cards. Before I attack, I'm going to play Dasher and Dancer in attack mode!" Yen pressed a card onto his duel disk, and two large brown reindeer appeared next to Father Christmas, both clad in red reigns with little golden bells attacked to them. (1400/1200)
"And if Father Christmas is on the field, Dasher and Dancer gain an additional five hundred attack points!" Father Christmas raised a hand and swung it gently towards the two reindeer, releasing sparkles that caught a gust of wind and drifted over the two animals, which grew in size. (1900/1200) "Now, Father Christmas, attack Legendary Hero - Vincent with North Pole Freeze!" shouted Yen, clenching his free hand tightly. "Wait, I'll activate the trap card Gem Warrior's Protection! This allows me to negate an attack on one warrior type monster if I cut it's attack in half!" said Josiah, pressing a button on his duel disk and causing a silver barrier to surround his monster just as a polar wind swept over it. (950/1400)
Josiah: 2650
Yen: 2100
"Well… I have to end my turn, because Christmas Miracle is still in play." said Yen, dropping his arm to his side. Josiah wiped his forehead off and drew a card, shifting his gaze to the crowd for a moment. A good deal of the students weren't paying attention, but quite a few were surrounding them, Densk, Maris, and Tidus included. Josiah looked at his cards, then slid a card into his duel disk. "I'll activate the ritual magic card Ascension of the Sky Knight! This allows me to sacrifice my Legendary Earth Knight - Steven and one other monster to special summon Legendary Sky Knight - Steven from my hand or deck in attack mode!" Josiah's Legendary Hero - Vincent disappeared from the field, and his remaining monster raised his sword to the sky, his armor breaking off as his whole body shone with a bright light. When the light faded, his armor had returned, only a bright rainbow in color and a whole plethora of elemental symbols were scattered upon it. (2800/2100)
"Now, my monster, attack Dasher and Dancer with Horizon Slash!" yelled Josiah, pointing at the two reindeer. His monster complied and swung its sword horizontally, and suddenly the area lit up as the sun seemed to rise up from nearby and engulf the entire field. Once it had disappeared, the reindeer were no more. "I activate the trap card Fairytale Return! This allows me to place one fairytale monster from my graveyard into my hand, and I'll choose Dasher and Dancer!" exclaimed Yen, taking the card that slid out from his discard slot and putting it into his hand. "Alright, I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
Josiah: 2650
Yen: 1200
Yen drew a card, gave it a glance, then slid it into his duel disk as the sparkles from his Christmas Miracle card covered him and Josiah. "I activate the continuous magic card Christmas Spirit! Not only does this grant my Father Christmas the ability to be unaffected by magic cards, it also allows either of us to draw one card at the end of any turn that we don't have any cards in our hand! I'll switch Father Christmas into defense mode, summon Dasher and Dancer in defense mode, and then end my turn, drawing one card." The two reindeer appeared again, snorting angrily. (1900/1200)
Josiah drew a card, then slid all four of them into his duel disk. "Firstly, I'll activate the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon! With it, I choose to destroy your Christmas Miracle Card!" Yen grit his teeth as his card was shattered into digital bits as a crackling tornado slammed into it from Josiah's side of the field. "Then I'll activate the spell card Zonestar Heritage! I'll pay one thousand life points to summon Legendary Hero - Joseph in attack mode!" Blue robes and shiny black hair christened the appearance of Josiah's monster, raising his staff upwards to the sky. "I'll then activate the magic card Joseph's Miracle! This allows me to sacrifice one Legendary Hero - Joseph to destroy one monster on the field and deal both of us damage equal to its original attack power, and I choose Dasher and Dancer!"
Josiah's monster dropped it staff and held it's hand out, and began to focus and chant deeply. Streams of blue energy flowed from the monster to the gap between his hands, forming a crystalline orb with what looked like a shining star in it's center. The monster then flung it to the center of the field, at which point it erupted in pure energy, taking both reindeer with the boy. "I'll finish by activating the equip spell card Strike of a True Warrior! This teaches my Legendary Sky Knight - Steven how to pierce through the defense of an opponent's monster, inflicting the difference between his attack points and your monster's defense points as damage to you! Now, attack!" Yen raised up his hands in defense as Josiah's monster swung it's sword, releasing several energy waves that ripped through his monster and struck him directly on his duel disk.
"And that's game."
Josiah: 1050
Yen: 0
Yen fell backwards onto his rear just as the applause started, taking a deep breath and smiling widely. Josiah made his way over to the boy and grinned widely, extending a hand to help him up. Yen graciously accepted the hand and got up, brushed himself off, then handed Josiah his card back. Josiah took his card and nodded, returned Yen's card, then draped an arm over the other boy's shoulder and gave a rather goofy salute to the crowd.
"Josiah! That was a great duel! Fantastic! And you even pulled out a win with a twenty-seven percent winning chance!" yelled Maris, basically slamming herself into Josiah's stomach in a hug. Densk smiled widely before turning around and heading off, while Tidus scratched idly at the side of his head with a wide smile. "Yeah, that was a great duel, Josiah. I think you'll be just fine here." said Yen, giving him a few nudges in the side and a smile of his own. This made Josiah smile and nod, patting Maris on the back of the head and giving Tidus a wave.
"I think I'll be just fine too."
I'll probably put in the two characters the next chapter.
And once again, I'm terribly sorry for the wait, especially on this one.
See you next time!
