Aaron waited with in his cage, resenting the heat that he was trapped with, and watched for Jacob's next move.
Jacob held up his card, "I play the magic card, Pot of Greed, and draw two cards." He said, his hand was now 5 cards and his life points were still at an untouched 8000.
Aaron wasn't so fortunate, he had 4 cards in his hand, but his life points were down to 2900.
"I play Monster Reborn. And I call my Amazon Swords woman back from the Graveyard!" He said, as he loaded his card, and the Amazon returned to the field, her blade at the ready.
"Oh no!" Aaron groaned at his arm, the last attack from the Amazon was still fresh in his memory.
"Oh yes! Final Joust!" He called out and his swords woman lunged for the Golem once again.
"I should have done this last time, Reveal Bottomless Trap Hole!" Aaron called out as his facedown card flipped over; a gigantic hole appeared under the Amazon, and she fell straight out of play.
"So that's it, you do have some fight in you after all." Jacob commented, "I end my turn."
Aaron groaned, I could stop it, but I have to get some damage on him, I'll have to wait.
He drew his card, and once again, He was caught in a flow of hot magma, his life points dropped to 1900.
"I got to do this." He gasped, as the Lava flow finished. This time the Lava had managed to burn his clothes a little.
"Do what?" Jacob asked.
"Watch, I activate My Blast with Chain!" He called out as he flipped his other facedown card. A chain strapped to a bundle of Dynamite appeared.
"I attach it to Gearfried!" Aaron stated as the chain latched itself to Gearfried, "But you know what happens to cards that attach to him, and you know what happens to my trap when it's destroyed, I can take another card with it! And I choose your Mask!"
The Chain strapped to the Iron Knight's shield, and he swung it towards Jacob's mask. The purple face blew to pieces.
"And Now I play my Spiritualism Magic Card, It sends one magic or trap card back to hand. Say goodbye to your Gravity Bind!" He said, slamming his card into his brace. The card appeared, and a specter flew out, it flew straight for Jacob's trap and sent it off the field.
"Now I play this! I sacrifice my two monsters for this!" He said as the Lava Golem and Gearfried vanished into light. And what appeared in their place was as big as the golem. It was huge, its scales were a light brown shade, and its eyes were bright green. Its mouth was loaded with sharp fangs, and its claws were no exception. And it spread its gigantic wings, which extended to about twenty feet long. "Behold my Mighty Beast, The Tyrant Dragon!" (2900/2500)
"You are a strange one; you sacrifice many cards just to summon a monster with less attack power than the Golem that you sacrificed for it." Jacob said, apparently not fazed in the least.
"As you said, power isn't everything, it is ability that wins these duels, and watch as I follow you up with my own Monster Reborn!" Aaron said, landing back on the ground and loaded his card. The magic card appeared and began shining in a bright light, and from it emerged Aaron's Iron Knight.
"Now watch as I attack your Monsters now!" Aaron commanded.
Aaron's Dragon raised its neck back, and with a mighty breath, it released a mighty stream of flame that roasted everything that remained on Jacob's field.
"Now its payback time! Gearfried attack!" He called out.
Aaron's revived knight's eyes flashed, he lunged forward, and in a mighty swing, he slashed Jacob, dropping his life points down to 6200.
"That might have cost me most of my life points. But now you have nothing left to defend yourself." Aaron said his life point gauge was down to a bare 900.
Aaron looked at his two remaining cards, "I place one card facedown and end my turn." He said.
"You're thinking that you've got me cornered eh? You sacrificed so many life points just to wipe out my defenses, I admit I'm surprised you managed to hit me, but I'm afraid you are mistaken if you think you got me on the run. I draw," Jacob drew his card. "I set a monster in def mode and load two cards facedown and I end my turn."
"My move," Aaron drew his card. "I play my Reinforcements to the Army, this allows me to grab one warrior from my deck and add it to my hand, and I chose to play it in def mode. Now my Iron Knight, attack his facedown monster!" He commanded.
Gearfried launched himself towards Jacob's facedown card; it flipped over to reveal a large, brown squirrel. (1000/300).
"Great, I lose the Germs and Get Momongas!" Aaron wailed, as Jacob's life points raised to 7200, and two cards appeared on the field.
"Yes, and now I got you right where I want you." Jacob said, pointing directly at Aaron.
"How pray tell?"
"I wasn't sure you if you were going to wipe out my monster with another tribute monster by sacrificing another two monsters. But now that I have the field set up I can activate this! Go Cease Fire!" Jacob flipped his card. The trap card began to flip up the facedown monsters.
"Nice try, But I figured you'd try something like that, Go Spell Absorbing Life!" Aaron called out, flipping his own trap card.
Jacob was confused, "What does that card do?"
"Well you know what Ceasefire does, this card is its reverse, It still flips our monsters and we may lose their effects, but while your trap inflicts 500 damage per effect, my trap gives me 400 lp instead!" Aaron said, as all the monsters appeared. On Jacob's side were a pair of Nimble Momongas, but on Aaron's side was now a Big Shield Guardna.
Aaron's life points raised by two thousand, but then dropped right down to 400.
"I can't believe it, you're still holding on!" Jacob exclaimed.
"Yeah, and I still can wipe out another of your squirrels, attack my Dragon!" Aaron commanded as his mighty beast spewed a roaring flame upon Jacob's squirrel.
Jacob sighed, his life points rose another 1000, giving him a total of eight thousand two hundred life points. More than he had even started with. But even though he was ahead by so much, this guy was still at it, barely holding on.
"I end my turn."
"I can't remember a duelist who I had trapped since the beginning of the duel holding off by so few life points. I admit it, you deserve a place in the League, but I shall show you my power!" Jacob said, drawing a card.
"I play the Shallow Grave, allowing both of us to select one monster from our graveyards to be special summoned to the field in facedown def mode." He said, as a facedown card from his graveyard came down, riding along the dragon decal's tail to the field. A process similarly happened to Aaron.
"Now I flip my Change of Heart! And I take your Big Shield for my own!" He said, as a half angelic/ half demonic being arose from his card and slammed into Aaron's monster, and brought it over to Jacob's field.
"Now watch as I play my Ultimate monster! I sacrifice Nimble Momonga, Big Shield Guardna, and my facedown monster to summon this!" He said, as all 3 monsters vanished in a swarm of light.
In a bolt of Lightning, a large warrior appeared, it was draped in red and light blue armor. He stood 7 foot tall, very built, wore loose pants, a dawned a giant light blue helmet. His presence was awe-inspiring, Aaron was amazed at it.
"Behold my Gilford The Lightning!" (2800/1400).
"You're monster seems impressive, but his attack is still lower than my dragon." Aaron stated.
"Then you have never witnessed its awesome powers, watch and learn. Gilford the Lightning, reveal the power of the Raigeki blade!" Jacob commanded.
Aaron watched as Jacob's warrior reached over his armored shoulder, and drew a giant saber, the blade was as long as Gearfried's right arm. He brought it up into the air, and within seconds, large storm clouds appeared in the building.
"DO IT!" Jacob commanded.
With a mighty swing, it brought his blade down, and following it, was a giant lighting bolt!
"WHOA!" Aaron exclaimed as the electricity slammed right into the monsters and all 3 of his cards were blown apart!
"My monster is a powerful thunder deity, while not a God card; it does have a special power, if you sacrifice 3 monsters to summon it to the field, I can wipe out all the monsters on your side of the field." Jacob said, as his monster readied his blade.
"You were waiting to see if I could escape your Golem, I know you had that card in your hand for the entire duel. And now this is the end." Aaron said, lowering his head.
"Indeed, now we end this. Gilford, finish this duel once and for all." Jacob said, as his monster raised his blade over his head.
"THUNDER BOLT CUT!!!"
Gilford's blade was sparking with electricity; the metal was jolt suckling with megawatts of energy. The power flowing through the blade was like a concentrated thunderstorm. And with a mighty slash, Gilford brought his weapon's power upon Aaron.
Just then, a transparent barrier formed around Aaron. The blast rippled along the invisible wall. Jacob smiled, "You have mastered it, the power of your Rema."
Aaron looked up and saw himself unharmed by the powerful blast of energy. "Rema?"
"What do you think made this duel possible? Rema is the power source of your Duel Brace. Basically, it's powered by the strength of your soul, but when you run out, it runs off your life force. But it provides a barrier that protects you from powerful energy. Look at your brace." Jacob said.
Aaron looked, and noticed the squiggle meter in the center, half of the squiggle had been drained. "That is the Rema meter, it produced all of the effects you saw in this duel, but it also protected you from my Lava Golem's lava and you summoned it to protect you from my Gilford's strike. But enough of that for now, I think that's plenty of trouble for now."
"What now?" Aaron asked.
"I get you confirmed; you need to get your skills in order. Then we-"
There was a sudden rumbling under the floor, the wooden planks were rattling like there was an earthquake.
"Get back!" Jacob shouted as something broke right through the floor!
Aaron jumped back and watched as the thing came into view.
It was ugly, to say the least. Its head was shaped like a vertical boomerang, its upper torso was humanoid, but the bottom was the same as a giant snake's. Its torso was coated in Egyptian armor, and in its hands was a scepter. Its face was downright hideous, with curved eyes and a mouth filled with needle like teeth.
"It's a Serpentine Princess!" Aaron called out.
"Just stay back! I can handle her." Jacob said, reaching into his deck, and grabbed a card, "It's time I charm this snake!"
"SPIRIT MERGE!!!" He called out as he loaded the card into his Brace. It began to shine with an incredible light. When it was over, a new figure stood where Jacob once stood, and it looked nothing like him. He was the definition of a geometric shape. Cones, circles, and cylinders made up its body. It wore a bright red cape, and its body was coated in an orange paint job. Its head looked like one you'd find on a crash dummy but with spikes sticking out were normally temples would go. And all over the body there were polished mirrors. Normally Aaron would laugh at something like that, but he knew what that was, and he knew what it could do. "REFLECT BOUNDER!"
"He turned into Reflect Bounder; he just became a Duel Monster!" Aaron exclaimed.
Jacob drifted towards the Reptile as she hissed at him, "Keep it to ya self, time to skin my girlfriend some boots." He said, as he held out his hands. The snake pointed her scepter at him, and a violet beam fired out the end. Jacob was hit dead in the center mirror, but it didn't crack, it was absorbing the energy!
"Right back at ya bitch!" He shouted, as he reversed the flow of energy.
But the slithering beast ducked out of the way at the last second and the blast melted the wall, right through the brick. Aaron kept his eyes one the snake, she was making a break for the hole in the floor.
"Oh no, you don't!" Jacob shouted. He aimed his hands right her, and both mirrors began to draw in energy.
But the snake was making her way right towards her exit!
Aaron looked at his Brace, and his deck, then at the monster.
"If he can do it, I know I can help him out. Here it goes!" He said to himself as he ran towards the snake.
The monster was almost within jumping range of her hole, when Aaron lunged forward.
"Going some where?" He asked as he snatched a card from his deck, and peered at it. "Take this! Windstorm of Etaqua!" He shouted as he slammed the card down into his brace. A wind of gale storm proportions spewed forth from Aaron's dueling brace and slammed against the incoming Snake. She wasn't able to hold her ground as she was shot back against a wall.
"Do it!" Aaron called over to Jacob.
"Prism Focus!" He called out, as twin beams of energy shot right out of his palms and right towards the princess. They made contact with her scaly flesh and there was a bright explosion!
Aaron covered his eyes against the blinding light, while Jacob watched the creature. But when the light died down, the creature was still alive, without as much as a scratch!
"You have got to be kidding me!" Aaron exclaimed.
"There's no way she could have taken a direct hit and have nothing to show for it." Jacob spat.
Aaron looked closer and then remembered, "She's got 2000 def power in the card game, her skin's probably just as hard."
"Well then, we'll just have to crack it open!" Jacob shouted as he shot forward.
But then, the snake, with lightning speed shot right towards him!
"What the-?!" He gasped as the serpent wrapped herself right around him.
"Jacob!" Aaron called out.
"Get out of here, before she puts the squeeze on you too!" He shouted, just as the snake began to crush her prey. The sounds of twisting metal started to fill the room.
But Aaron remained firm, he didn't budge.
"I'm staying, I can't let you die on me, and so I'll be right here with you!" He said, drawing a card.
Just then, both Aaron's deck and brace were glowing like they were about to explode!
"Now what?" He wondered, as the air around him began to swirl.
The snake turned her attention from her prey to see the boy who was starting to shine, Jacob swiveled his head towards him as well, He's accelerating, He just learned of his destiny, and his power is already increasing. His dragon is already emerging!
Just then, in a flash of light, a being of light in the shape of a dragon flew from Aaron's deck and began to circle around him. He could feel the energy coming from the creature as it began to close in.
"ROOOAAARRR!!!" The being called out, as it landed on top the brace. In a bright flash of light, Aaron's brace had transformed. Now, his Brace had a decal of his Tyrant Dragon, and its green eyes were glowing. Aaron could feel a strong pulse, like the thing had come to life.
"Whoa..." He said in total amazement.
Just then, the Serpentine Princess turned her royal pain in the ass face right at him, she knew she had a problem.
Aaron watched as his dragon's jaws opened, revealing his deck. He closed his eyes and reached for it, I know I have a monster that can help me, but the way the Queen of De-Nile is staring at me, I only got one chance to draw before I get the business end of those fangs of hers. Here goes.
Aaron drew the card and held it into the air, "Please let this be the card I need!" He called out!
The card began to shine, and the room lit up with an incredible blaze!
Jacob held up his card, "I play the magic card, Pot of Greed, and draw two cards." He said, his hand was now 5 cards and his life points were still at an untouched 8000.
Aaron wasn't so fortunate, he had 4 cards in his hand, but his life points were down to 2900.
"I play Monster Reborn. And I call my Amazon Swords woman back from the Graveyard!" He said, as he loaded his card, and the Amazon returned to the field, her blade at the ready.
"Oh no!" Aaron groaned at his arm, the last attack from the Amazon was still fresh in his memory.
"Oh yes! Final Joust!" He called out and his swords woman lunged for the Golem once again.
