Sdrive: Well I think you will all be happy to know that I have finally found the list and so now I can finally get back to work on Sky Top Duelists. –audience cheers- Well, without any further a due, Sky Top Duelists.
Disclaimer: I own Sprite and Kai, that's it.
Sprite was running down to get to her arena, all the way at the other end of the building. Her red hair flowed behind her as she ran as fast as she could. Her small coat that she had over her shoulder suddenly fell off and her deck fell out of her pocket. Her cards fell all over and she bent down and tried to pick them up as fast as she could. She saw a card still laying on the ground, she went to pick it up when another hand grabbed it first. She looked up and saw a kind faced boy with short blue hair and hazel eyes look into her green eyes.
"I believe you dropped this," the boy said handing her a Raging Flame Sprite.
"Yes, thank you," she said taking her card. She did a quick eye sweep and when she was sure that she didn't see any other cards she got up and put her coat back on. "Thank you again, I was rushing to get to my duel when my jacket slipped off me."
"Yeah I noticed," he said laughing. "Sprite right?" The boy asked.
"How did you know my name?" Sprite asked shocked.
"I never forget a pretty face," he said with a wink. "Or the name of my opponent."
"What do you mean, the name of my…wait, now I recognize you. You're the guy whose face I saw when I was looking to see who I would be facing. So that must mean that you are Fuda."
"Yes, and it is so interesting what my name translates into, for that is the type of deck I use. I know that your nickname is based off the card I just handed you, well, at least that's what I think."
"Yes it is," Sprite said. "Well, don't think that I will be going easy on you because you helped me. I plan on winning." She said with a gleam in her eyes. 'I have to win,' she thought. 'For Kai.'
"Well, I admire your enthusiasm, but unfortunately I have my eyes set on those mysterious cards that the winner will be awarded with. True they most likely will not work with my deck, but I'm not worrying about it too badly."
"Well, I guess we will find out when we get there Fuda," Sprite said. They continued to walk until they reached the arena. Some of the other duelists were throwing their Holo-Disks out into the center of the field already. Sprite took her place and shuffled her deck a bit before inserting it into the top of her Duel Disk. She ripped the disk and it burst out its colorful blast of light. Her Duel Disk unfolded as she watched as Fuda inserted his deck and ripped his disk. They were both ready, "Duel" they cried out as their life points rose to 8000.
"I'll start off," Fuda said as he pulled his cards. "I'll set two cards under the table and end my turn," he said as the two cards appeared on the field.
Sprite stood there looking confused, 'What is he planning?' she asked herself as she looked at the field 'I can't pass up the opportunity to take a large lead on his Life Points,' Sprite thought to herself as she pulled a card from her hand. "I'll summon the Darkfire Soldier #1!" The Pyro type appeared in a burst of fire, his lower torso was completely encased with fire. (1700/1150) "Next I'll activate this Spell Card, Salamandra! This will give my Darkfire Soldier an extra 700 Attack Points bringing it up to a 2400! The Soldiers small sword was replaced with a larger sword.
"You've activated my Trap Card, Reverse Polite Intruding Trio!" Fuda cried out. Suddenly three blobby creatures appeared on Sprite's Side of the Field, one green, one yellow, and the last one black.
"What are these things?" Sprite asked.
"They are the Ojama Tokens, you can't sacrifice and they take up three of your monster spaces. When one is destroyed you will lose 500 Life Points.
"I still have my Darkfire Soldier that you have to deal with," Sprite called out. "Go, attack the player!" The Darkfire's sword burst into flames and a flaming salamander burst out of it and went straight for Fuda.
"Reverse Quick Play Spell Card, Sleepy Sheep!" Fuda called out. Suddenly four sheep tokens appeared on Fuda's side of the field. Red, Yellow, Blue, and Pink sheep appeared on the field. The yellow one got hit by the attack and Fuda was safe. "My Sleepy Sheep saved me from your attack," Fuda said smiling.
Suddenly it dawned on Sprite what his name meant. "Your name means Token, and you use a Token deck."
"Very observant," Fuda said smiling. "So, what else are you going to do?"
"I'll set a card under the table and end my turn," Sprite declared as her card appeared.
"And now it's my turn," Fuda said as he drew his card "I think that you are going to find that my next move is a blast, I activate Tokens Thanksgiving!"
"What does that do?" Sprite asked worriedly.
"This card allows me to destroy all tokens on the field and for each token destroyed I gain 800 life points. That includes the Polite Intruding Trio tokens and because all three of them are being destroyed you lose 1500 Life Points while I gain 4800."
"No way," Sprite sad as suddenly all the Tokens on the field were destroyed. Suddenly Sprites Life Points lowered while Fuda's Life Points were strengthened. Fuda:12800/Sprite:6500
"Whoa," Sprite said as she looked at the current score. "That's a big difference."
"I'll set one card under the table and end my turn." Fuda said.
"It's my turn," Sprite said as she drew her card. "I set one card under the table and then summon my Raging Flame Sprite!" A small sprite with a wand in her hand and a red outfit appeared on the field. (100/100) Prepare to lose more than half the attack points you just gained. Go Darkfire Soldier attack Fuda!" The sword burst in flames again and another flaming salamander flew towards Fuda.
"Reverse Sleepy Sheep!" Fuda cried out as the 4 sheep appeared again. One of the sheep's were destroyed leaving three left.
"I suspected that you might have that waiting, and that's why I summoned my Raging Flame Sprite. It can automatically attack your Life Points directly. Go Raging Flame Sprite, attack the player!" The Sprite's orb started to glow and then a small stream of fire hit Fuda. Fuda:12700/Sprite:6500
"Well, it seems that card is pretty impressive, it can bypass my Sheep. However it won't be doing so for long."
"We'll see about that," Sprite said grinning as the Raging Flame Sprite's power increased. (1100/100) "Each time my Flame Sprite attacks you directly it gains 1000 attack points. "Good luck trying to beat it now," she said as she made the hand motion that signaled she was ending her turn.
"I don't need luck," he said as he drew is card, "I have skill. I activate Pot of Greed, this allows me to draw two new cards." He swiftly drew his cards and looked at them.
"I Reverse my Trap, Curse of Darkness. From now on every time either of us plays a Spell Card we will lose 1000 Life Points.
"I have Life Points to spare," Fuda said. "I summon my White Magician Pikeru." (1200/0)
"I know about this card, my friend Kai uses it," Sprite said.
"Then you should know that it gives me 400 life points for every monster on my side of the field. Go Pikeru, attack the Raging Flame Sprite!" Pikeru raised its staff and let out a small white beam of energy. The energy hit the Flame Sprite and it was destroyed."
"Reverse Trap, Backfire! Every time you destroy one of my Fire Type monsters my Backfire will do 500 Life Points worth of Damage to you," Sprite said happily. Fuda:12200/Sprite:6400
"Very impressive move," Fuda said. "I'll set two cards under the table and end my turn."
'I'm sure they have more to do with Tokens,' Sprite said as she drew her card. "I summon my Fire Princess!" Sprite called out as a girl with silver hair and red robes wrapped around her appeared on the field. (1300/1500) "You over looked one thing, although your Pikeru will give you life points, however you have to wait until your standby phase. While I have a monster with 2400 attack points just waiting to destroy Pikeru. Go Darkfire Soldier, destroy Pikeru."
"Reverse Trap, Gravity Bind!"
"No!" Sprite called out. "That will stop all my level 4 monsters from attacking." An energy net appeared on the field stopping the Darkfire Soldier from moving, it also bound the Fire Princess from moving. "I end my turn," Sprite said disappointed.
"And now mine starts," Fuda said smiling. Suddenly Pikeru's staff began to glow along with the three sheep on Fuda's side of the field. Pikeru engulfed Fuda in a bright light and his life points went up. Fuda:13800/Sprite:6400.
"This is bad," Sprite said. "He keeps gaining life points, and while I haven't really lost too many he keeps re-enforcing his defenses.
"Correct," Fuda said smiling. "I set one monster on guard switch Pikeru on guard and end my turn." Fuda said smiling.
Sprite brought her hand to her deck when suddenly she heard a lot of commotion coming from the other end of the dueling arena. She looked over and thought she saw two large antennas. "I sure hope that whatever that thing is isn't facing Kai." She turned back to Fuda and drew her card. "Awesome, I summon the Ultimate Baseball Kid!" She said as a boy in a baseball uniform appeared with a spike bat. (500/1000)
"I see your monster is a 3 star monster, but what do you hope to achieve with a monster that only has 500 attack points?"
"My monster may only have 500 attack points now, but it gains an extra 1000 attack points for every other fire type on the field other than itself, and I count two. That gives my Ultimate Baseball Kid 2000 attack points. (2500/1000)
"Wow, that card is really good, I must say I'm quite impressed."
"Go Ultimate Baseball Kid, attack White Magician Pikeru!" The Baseball Kid ran up and swung its bat at Pikeru. Pikeru was destroyed and Sprite cheered. "That ends my turn."
"I must say you have an impressive deck, but you will still be unable to defeat me," Fuda said as he drew his card. "I reverse my Magician of Faith and I use it to bring back my Sleepy Sheep in the graveyard. Next I will set them under the table and end my turn."
"My move," Sprite said as she drew her card. "This is why I keep three of these guys. I summon Raging Flame Sprite! Now that I have another Fire Type on the field my Ultimate Baseball Kid gains another 1000 attack points bringing it to a 3500. Ultimate Baseball Kid, attack Magician of Faith!"
"Reverse Trap, Spirit Barrier!" As long as I have a monster on the field I can't lose any life points in battle. The Ultimate Baseball Kid destroyed the Magician of Faith. Suddenly one of the Sleepy Sheep's Spirit's saved Fuda from the rest of the attack.
"Flame Sprite, attack the player!" The new flame sprite attacked Fuda but his life points didn't decrease. "Although your life points don't decrease battle damage still occurred so there for my Flame Sprite still gains an extra 1000 attack points. That ends my turn." (1100/100)
"I feel really bad for you, you have all these ways to deplete my life points and yet you can not do it. I'll set one card under the table and end my turn."
"Wait, so, if I get rid of all your monsters, then you can't activate Spirit Barrier right?" Sprite asked.
"Yes, but remember, you only have two monsters that can get past my Gravity Bind."
"Oh really?" Sprite asked as she set a card. "I place one card under the table and then I summon my Balloon Lizard in attack mode!" A large bloated Lizard that looked like a Balloon appeared. (500/1900) "My Balloon Lizard is small enough to get past your Gravity Bind, so go my Balloon Lizard, attack his Sheep!" The Balloon Lizard floated towards the sheep and destroyed it. "Then I send my Flame Sprite to attack your second sheep! Now I send my Baseball kid to attack your last sheep!" The baseball kid attacked the sheep and it was destroyed. "So much for your sheep, it's your turn."
"I'm not too worried," Fuda said as he drew his card. "I activate the spell Stray Lambs!" Suddenly two sheep appeared on the field, one red and the other grey.
"For activating a Spell Card you have lost 1000 life points," Sprite said as she watched Fuda's Life Points drop. Fuda:12800/Sprite:6400
"Sorry to say it, but you don't have a chance of winning, not when I activate my next Spell Card that is, Messenger of Peace!" Suddenly a man wearing white robes with a book in his hand appeared on the field."
"And there go another 1000 of your life points," Sprite said smiling. Fuda:11800/Sprite:6400.
"Not concerned," Fuda said smiling. "And you'll see why soon enough. I end my turn."
"That means I get to start mine," Sprite said as she drew her card and looked at it. 'This will defiantly help,' Sprite said smiling. Suddenly Sprite's Balloon Lizard got a bit bigger, as if it was inflating. "Oh yeah, during each of my Standby Phases my Balloon Lizard gains 1 counter. When it is finally destroyed, it will do 400 points of damage to your Life Points times the number of counters on it. Next I'll set one monster on guard and send my Ultimate Baseball Kid to destroy one of your sheep!" The Ultimate Baseball Kid ran towards the sheep but he was stopped by the man that had appeared when Fuda activated the Messenger of Peace. "What's going on?" Sprite asked.
"Simple, the Messenger of Peace stops all monsters with an attack power of 1500 or more from attacking as long as I give up 100 life points during each of my Standby Phases."
"No way," Sprite said shocked. "That means I can only attack with my Balloon Lizard! Well, I guess I don't have to worry too much, you only use Tokens, and so I should be safe. You can't really damage my Life Points, and your life points will slowly go down by 100 each turn, and every time you play a spell card you will lose another 1000. So I can still win this."
"We'll see about that," Fuda said smirking.
"I send my Balloon Lizard to attack your token." The lizard bounced over to the sheep and bounced on top of it destroying it. "With that I end my turn," Sprite said.
Fuda drew his card and smiled. "You are in what I like to call my Life Point Token Lock. My life points are protected by my Sprite Barrier and Sheep Tokens while my Messenger of Peace keeps you from doing anything."
"You just lost 100 Life Points my friend," Sprite pointed out. "Guess your Spirit Barrier isn't as all powerful as you thought." Fuda:11700/Sprite:6400
"How many times do I have to tell you that Life Points mean nothing at this moment? I'm about to lose many yet I'm going to gain it all back!"
"And how do you plan to do that?" Sprite asked.
"With the Spell Card Lightning Vortex!" All I have to do is drop one card from my hand and then all of your face up monsters are destroyed!"
"Reverse Trap, DNA Transplant, with this card I can change the Type of all monsters on the field, and I choose to turn them all into the Fire Type!"
"So?" Fuda asked, thinking the whole thing was pointless.
"Well, now that you have activated a Spell, you took, 1000 Life Point Damage, and then now that DNA Transplant is on the field, my Balloon Lizard is turned into a Fire Type."
"I don't see the point in all this," Fuda said.
"Don't you remember my Back Fire Trap? For every Fire Type monster destroyed you lose 500 Life Points."
"But, I'm destroying them by a card effect!" Fuda said.
"Doesn't matter, the Back Fire card says if a Fire Type Monster is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, it doesn't specify how it's destroyed. Don't forget my Balloon Lizard itself also has one counter, so you will take 400 points of damage from that as well. All together you just took a grand total of 3400 points of Damage! And on top of that I still have a monster on the field."
Lightning fell from the sky and all of Sprite's face up monsters were destroyed. All of them blew up in a blast of fire which engulfed Fuda. Fuda's Life Points drastically dropped. Fuda:8300/Sprite:6400
"I think I just brought this game back where it needed to be, in my favor," Sprite said smiling.
"Maybe, but you are about to fall behind again, because I have just made space for my Polite Intruding Trio!" Fuda said as his trap card reversed and the Ojama Tokens appeared on Sprite's side of the field. "I bet you can guess what's next, first I activate Sleepy Sheep!" The Sleepy Sheep Card appeared on the field and the sheep appeared. "Then I activate my Tokens Thanksgiving Spell! Now that I have 5 tokens and your three I will gain 6400 Life Points and because of the Ojama Trio you will lose 1500 again!"
All the tokens were destroyed, Fuda lost his life points for activating two spell cards but then he gained his life points back and Sprite lost 1500 Life Points. She was knocked down to the ground as Fuda stood strong. Fuda:12700/Sprite:4900.
"I am slowly taking away all your chances of wining," Fuda said. "My original intention was to only lose a bit of Life Points by activating Spell Cards, however you set me back a bit. Now I'm pretty much where I started off and that is a pretty good place to start. I may be equal but now you are weaker than you were, and you have but one monster on the field. I hate to say it but it isn't looking good for you."
Sprite was slowly getting up, she knew she was in a hard spot. She had the least amount of life points and only one monster to protect her. 'His Life Points will slowly fall, but not fast enough for me not to run out of cards in my deck,' Sprite thought to her self.
"Sprite stand up!" an all too familiar voice called out to her. Sprite slowly turned her head to make sure he was really there. She saw a red jacket and a grey hat, and the face that could only belong to…
"Kai!" Sprite called out. "What are you doing here?"
"I won my duel," Kai called out to her. "And you can win yours. I know it seems hard, I was in a tough spot too, but I got out of it. I know that you can do the same. I believe in you."
Sprite looked at him and slowly stood up while the edge of a smile crept to her face. "He's right," Sprite said to herself. "I can do it, I can win." She slowly placed her hand on the top card of her deck with her eyes closed, she opened them slightly to see her favorite card. "I summon Raging Flame Sprite!" she called out as her favorite card appeared on the field. "Now Raging Flame Sprite, attack the player!" The Raging Flame Sprite attacked Fuda but he shrugged himself off. "And with that my Raging Flame Sprite goes up to an 1100 and you are left to top decking and losing life points. I end my turn."
Fuda drew his card and sighed. "It would be pointless to play this now seeing as how you can attack me directly, so I end my turn." Fuda:12500/Sprite:4900
Sprite drew her card and looked at it smiling. "I summon Amazon Archer! And with her low attack power she can go right through your Messenger!" An Amazon holding a bow appeared on Sprite's side of the field. (1400/1000)
"How easily you forget my Gravity Bind stopping you from attacking with a 4 star monster," Fuda said snickering. "Once you attack me again with the Sprite it will gain another 1000 life points and then will be too strong to do anything to me."
"How easily you forget my on guard monster," Sprite said as she reversed it and it took position. "Crimson Ninja!" (300/300)
"So?" Fuda asked.
"You keep underestimating my cards and then you are surprised when they set you back. The Crimson Ninja automatically destroys one Trap Card on the field." The Ninja used it's swords to slice through the energy net. "Now that that is gone, all my monsters can attack this turn, so I send Crimson Ninja, Amazon Archer, and Raging Flame Sprite to attack the player!" The Flame Sprite went over and let loose its fire on Fuda, then the Archer shot an arrow at him and the Crimson Ninja quickly jumped over to him and slashed him on the chest. He was thrown backwards and his Life Points fell. Fuda:9700/Sprite:4900
"Way to go Sprite, your taking the lead back!" Kai cheered.
"It was thanks to you," Sprite said as she turned to him and winked. She looked back at Fuda to complete her turn. "Raging Flame Sprite becomes a 2100 and can no longer attack, my other monsters can however and they can't wait to tear you apart. I end my turn."
Fuda slowly stood back up and drew his card while his Messenger of Peace sapped away another 100 life points. Fuda:9600/Sprite:4900. "I'll set one card under the table and then Activate Stray Lambs," Fuda said. His red and grey sheep appeared and the Curse of Darkness zapped him causing him to lose another 1000 life points. "That ends my turn," he said. Fuda:8600/Sprite:4900
Sprite looked at Fuda while she drew her card, "So you took 1000 points of damage to stop the only two monsters I had from attacking. This duel must be really hard for you, knowing that you worked so hard to get control of it. I set a card under the table and then have both my monsters attack your Sheep." The Ninja jumped up and destroyed one of the sheep while the Amazon shot an arrow at the other destroying that one. "I end my turn." Sprite said as she looked at Fuda.
"Draw!" Fuda cried out as he picked up his card. "I set one card under the table and end," Fuda said as the card appeared on the field. Fuda:8500/Sprite:4900
"My move Sprite said, and here's where things get fun. Reverse Raigeki Break, this Trap allows me to destroy one card on your side of the field as long as I discard a card first, so I discard my Hane-Hane to destroy your Messenger of Peace!" A bolt of Lightning came down and destroyed the man and left Fuda open. "Go Raging Flame Sprite, attack the player!" The sprite went towards Fuda and the flames that hit him got even bigger.
"Reverse Sleepy Sheep! Now your attack can't hurt me."
"But my Sprite will still get stronger. Now my other two, attack the two Sleepy Sheep!"
Two of his sheep were destroyed and his life points were lowered. Fuda:7500/Sprite:4900
"You have two sheep left protecting you, and my Flame Sprite is a 3100 now. I end my turn."
Fuda drew his card and let out a heavy sigh. "I pass," he said. "I don't have any more moves I can make."
Sprite swiftly drew her card and smiled. "I summon Darkfire Soldier #1!" she said as the soldier appeared on her side of the field. "First my Crimson Ninja and Amazon Archer will take out your two Sheep!" !" The two monsters destroyed the sheep and Sprite had more fire in her eyes than her Raging Flame Sprite did in its entire body. "Now Flame Sprite, and Dark Fire Soldier attack the player!" The Sprite went forward and attacked Fuda, along with the Soldier. Fuda:2700/Sprite:4900
"You're going to win!" Kai cheered. "I know you can do it.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I still have 2700 Life Points left," Fuda said standing back up.
"Not for long," Sprite said. "I activate Amazon Archer's Special Ability by offering two monsters it can take away 1200 of your Life Points! So now I offer Crimson Ninja and Darkfire Soldier!" The two monsters disappeared and the Amazon picked out a special glowing arrow, she placed it in her bow and fired it at a terrified Fuda. The arrow hit him and he was knocked backwards. Fuda:1500/Sprite:4900
Sprite motioned for Fuda to make his move. He drew his card and placed a monster on guard. "It's your turn," he said.
Sprite drew her card and looked at it and smiled. "I hate to do this to you, but I activate Tribute to the Doomed. It may cost me a card from my hand and 1000 life points but it will destroy whatever monster you have down!"
"No, you just destroyed my Fiber Jar!" Fuda cried out.
"Go Raging Flame Sprite, attack the Player!" The Sprite flew towards Fuda and engulfed him in fire. Fuda:0/Sprite:3900
"Way to go!" Kai shouted. The holograms disappeared and Sprite ran over and hugged Kai.
"I did it, I won the first round," she said. She stayed in his arms for another few seconds until they looked each other in the eyes, Sprite quickly let go blushing madly. "Sorry about that," she laughed nervously.
"It's ok," Kai said trying to shake away his own nervousness.
Sprite ran over to Fuda and helped him up. "Sorry for beating you like that, you have an extremely original deck idea, and it was really good."
"Thank you," Fuda said. "You have a good deck yourself. I wish you the best of luck." The two shook hands and then Fuda began to walk off. "I will hopefully face you again someday," Fuda said as he walked off waving.
Sprite and Kai waved back to him, "It would be an honor," Sprite called back smiling, then in her regular voice she said "Who knows, maybe next time he'll beat me." She turned to Kai, "When there isn't as much at stake." Kai nodded and put his hand on her shoulder.
"You did an excellent job," he said to her. "Thank you."
"Any time," she said smiling. "Come on, I believe we get whatever time is left after duels and then an hour before the next round. Lets go rest, I'm exhausted."
Kai chuckled, "You deserve it," he said as they headed out of the arena.
Sdrive: Well, hope you all enjoyed it, and I hope it was worth the wait. I'm tired, so quick reviews and then off to bed.
Axel: Nice guess but, WRONG! Sorry. Oh, by the way, the answer to that is, dum dum dum, the crew members BOSS! The hint was when the crew member said that he didn't have anyone who got him the job. That was supposed to get you all to realize that the person who helped Kai was actually that crew member's boss. The Black Magician Girl ROCKS!
Peace Writer: I hope there was a bit more depth in this one. I explained to you how you were wrong, and no it's not jealousy, its just that you couldn't get the hint, -looks around- apparently no one else did either lol.
Reaver: Thanks for the compliment, and yes, insects are pointless lol. Poor Bakura, oh well.
Zenryo: We love Ra, but he hates us, he's a big mechanical bird that doesn't learn to quit, and I'm done with that now. Y ay Rayearth, yay Chinese hobo, yay Isanai! Speaking of whom he had better have gotten me Negima!
Nanashi: Thanks
Mad Bless You: Thanks.
Sdrive: Not much more to say, I know there WAS more to say but I'm too tired to remember. Hope you all liked it. Next Chapter, Its all eyes on Domid.
Power to the Hikari's
