"I'll start this duel off by summoning my Amazoness Blowpiper to the field and end my turn." Jeni said, as a woman, clad in loin clothes with bones, her hair was lavender and a vile mess, was musclebound and carried a blowgun with the skull of a rodent on the end. (800/1500).
"My turn, I play this." Paul said, slamming a card down. In a burst of light appeared an angel, dressed like an attorney or law student, with bright blue hair, and horn-rimed glasses. "Hysteric Fairy." (1800/500)
"Now it's my turn, I play set my monster on the field. And I place another card on the field as well. I end my turn." Ken said, as two cards appeared infront of him.
"And last but not least, I play My Archfiend Soldier, and one card facedown. End turn." Amy said, as a face down card appeared infront of her, and a demon clad in purple armor. It stood 6 ft tall, the armor showed the developed muscles of the creature, and was decaled with many spikes and horns. Its cape was as dark as dust, it wielded a sharp blade and on the sides of its helmet, were ram like horns, (1900/1500).
"Watch and learn kids, I summon my Amazoness Paladin." Jeni said, placing her monster card on the field, and appearing before her was another woman, but this one was guised in white garments and golden jewelry, her eyes were light blue with untamed blonde hair, and in her hands was a broadsword, (1700/300).
"I'll attack with her and choose your soldier as her target!" She called out, pointing at the archfiend.
The Amazon lunged forward and brought her sword up for a slash, Amy's Archfiend prepared it's blade for a counterstrike. But the Soldier's movements were sluggish and too slow to strike, just as the Paladin cleaved the soldier in half.
"What?" Amy wondered, looking at her brace, and saw that she had just lost five hundred lifepoints.
"You didn't notice my Blowpiper's effect did you? Right before I summoned my monster, she weakened yours by 500, and my Paladin gained 200 hundred atk for their being two Amazons on the field." Jeni said, proudly. "I set two cards and end my turn."
Paul looked at his hand, and said, "I sacrifice my Fairy for this." He said. The Fairy vanished in a swirl of energy, but emerging from it came a large menacing creature. It stood a good 7 ft, all muscle and bone, four claw arms, and 3 claw feet. Its muscles were a bright red, on its back were short, demonic wings, and its head was solely bone with horns matching the former archfiend. "My Summoned Skull" (2500/1200).
"Now, I'll attack the Blowpiper, Lightning Strike!" Paul called out, the skull's eyes lit up.
"Hold on, I'll chain with My Amazoness Archers!" Jeni called out, one of her facedown cards flipped up, and a squad of archers with bows at the ready appeared. They fired a barrage of arrows that sunk into the skulls limbs!
The skull roared, as its strength dropped to 2000, but it raised its arms and coming down from the sky, came a bolt of lightning that rained down on her field.
But when the smoke cleared, both of Jeni's monsters remained unharmed.
Paul looked at her field and saw that a Waboku card had been flipped, "Drat, Now I'm stuck with a weakened Skull. I set one card and end my turn." He said.
Ken drew his next card, "I'll flip my facedown monster, Shadow Tamer." His card flipped up to reveal a woman with bright blue hair, in a skimpy trainer's out fit with boots and gloves, holding in her hands a whip, (800/700).
"Her effect allows me to take control of your Summoned Skull." He said, as his monster swung her whip.
The cord wrapped around the Skull's neck and pulled it over to Ken's Side of the field.
"Now I sacrifice both of these monsters to summon my Sword Hunter." Both of the creatures vanished in an instant, leaving a heavily armed warrior. He was six feet, a normal human, but covered in every form of sword in existence, his face was covered by a sword mask, but it was clear it had its eyes on Paul.
"I attack your Life points directly!" Ken Called out. His soldier made a mad charge for Paul.
"I'll stop your attack with this, Mirror Force!" Paul's card flipped up, and reflective barrier appeared in front of him.
"I think not, Seven Tools of the Bandit!" Ken's facedown card flipped up, his life points dropped down to 7000, but Paul's Mirror Force cracked and burst into shards!
Paul's eyes went wide as the Sword Hunter broke through and slashed at him!
Paul formed a Rema barrier to block the strike, but the impact sent him flying backwards. He landed with a thud against the metal roof, his life points dropping straight down to 5550.
"Paul! Talk to me, are you alright?" Amy called back.
"Yeah, I'm still breathing." He said, pulling himself up.
"I'll end my turn by setting this facedown and end my turn." Ken said.
Meanwhile, Aaron, inside of Gearfried, was hearing the whole story.
Great, Paul took a direct hit and our side's got no monsters on the field to defend. They had better get some plan set up soon, Warrior monsters are easily accessible and can gather quickly. I got to figure a way out of here.
He turned his head, the M-Warriors were watching Kara, but he couldn't do anything, he was still trapped in the Ring of Magnetism.
I'll have to wait for something to happen before I can escape.
"My move." Amy called out, drawing her card, Ok, she lost all her facedown cards last turn, but Ken just set something up. This move is going to have to count.
"I set a card facedown, and a monster in defense mode. That's all for me." She said.
Jeni drew her card, "I summon my Amazoness Fighter." In a flash of light, a butch looking Amazon appeared, she had more muscles than any normal body builder, with thick brown hair, and light green cloth. Her stats were 1300/1300.
"This raises my Paladin's attack to 2000. And now I'll strike Paul directly!" She called out, as the 3 Amazons lunged for him.
"Not so fast, I throw my def monster in front of your attack!" Amy called out, as her card flew from her side and dove in front of the enraged women.
The card vanished to reveal a small, furry mouse, with tan hair and beady eyes. (900/600).
"What is that?" Jeni demanded.
"My Bubonic Vermin, and when ever one is flipped, I can set another from my deck!" Amy said, as another facedown card appeared in front of it.
"So what, I'll just finish off your defenses. Attack!" The Blow Piper shot the first away, the Fighter smashed the next. But as the Paladin prepared to strike, a large spear like device with wings near the blade appeared took the impact of the saber and transferred it to the final vermin, and it burst into dust.
"Why thank you, my Enchanted Javelin made your efforts worth so much to me." Amy said, with now 9500 lp.
"I end my turn." Jeni said with a pout.
"My Draw," Paul said, pulling the card and raising it to his face, "Alright, I set this card facedown, and I set this monster in def mode."
"Then it's my turn, I summon my Hayabusa Knight." Ken said, as a flaconlike humanoid appeared in front of him, it was with purple feathers, but dawned a green cape, and carried in his hands a long saber.
"And I reveal my A. Forces, powering my monsters up by 400 apiece." Ken played the card, which revealed to be a bunch of warriors being energized. And on the field, the Flacon and Swordsman were strengthening as well.
"Now its time to crush you, Sword Hunter Attack!" The Sword Hunter lunged forward to strike.
"Not so fast, I reveal my Shadow Spell, Your monster is halted!" Paul called out, as a rain of chains spewed forth from his card, and wrapped Ken's monster in iron, dropping his attack points to 2150.
"So what, my Hayabusa will cut you down in two strikes." Ken said, as the knight shot pass the bound Hunter, straight for the facedown card.
But what emerged was a wall, its surface was like flesh, lined in golden metal, but with a face emerging from the center. (1000/1850).
"Wall of Illusion, this monster is more than enough to halt your assault and throw him back at you!" Paul said, as his monster rebounded the strike and disappeared from the field.
Ken was fuming, his life points were at 6550, and he was without any way out.
"Draw," Amy said, picking up her card, She grinned, "Open facedown card, Call of the Haunted, I revive my Archfiend Soldier to the field." Her facedown card flipped over to show a graveyard with a fog emerging from the headstones. In a fuzzy haze, the Archfiend emerged from the fog.
"Now I'll sacrifice my monster for my Dark Ruler Ha Des!" She said, as her monster faded away, and a new being emerged. It was big, covered in robes, a heavy headdress covered the creatures head, leaving a green and demonic face. In its left hand was a goblet, and on its chest was a skull emblem. (2450/1600).
"Ha Des, destroy The Blow Piper." She said, an the fiend responded by holding up its right hand, and a wave of ditch black fire spewed forth and roasted away the Amazoness.
"I set one card facedown, and end my turn." Amy said.
"My turn then." Jeni said, drawing her card. "I summon my Amazoness Tiger!" She called out as she slammed the card onto the field.
It was a huge tiger, orange and striped, remains of its shackles on its legs, and it was missing its right eye. (1100/1500).
"As long as this card is on the field, you can't attack another amazon on my field, and it gains 400 atk for each on the field." Jeni explained, as the beast's strength rose to 1900, now equal to the Paladin.
"So what? Both your monsters are too weak to take on mine." Amy said. The Ha Des nodded in agreement.
"And anything you throw at me will bounce back at you." Paul said, his Wall of Illusion was still weaker, but the effect was still insured its survival.
"True, But I've got bigger plans. I play the card, Rare Gold Armor." Jeni said, The Amazoness Fighter was soon groomed in white armor with golden trimmings. The glare of its ivory surface was blinding to the Ha Des.
"This card directs all attacks to this monster, but do you remember my Tiger's effect?" She asked.
The Tiger roared, drawing the Ha Des' attention, but the monster was now shifting its gaze back and forth from the two monsters.
"What'd you do to him?" Amy demanded.
"With my armor drawing your attacks to my Amazon, my Tiger wards them away, so now you can't attack at all!" Jeni said, "I'll end my turn with one card facedown and end my turn."
Paul drew his card, "It's time to I take to the offense, I summon my Zombyra the Dark." In a blaze of Dark light, a new creature emerged beside the Wall of Illusion. It stood 6.5; its build was heavily muscled, wrapped in a blue skintight outfit with bonelike armor on its legs and chest. His head was encased in a bony helmet, and he wore a huge red cape on his back. (2100/500).
"I can't your monsters Jeni, but Ken's isn't so lucky! Attack!" Paul commanded.
Zombyra lunged into the air, and with the added speed of the train, he shot down the train with a bullet's speed, and he delivered a powerful kick that crushed the Sword Hunter into dust!
Ken growled, his monster's attack had dropped to 1950 when his Knight was sent back to his hand, just enough for Zombyra to crush it. LP: 6400.
Paul was relieved, but showed no sign of it, his monster also lost attack points to drop to 1900 when its effect kicked in. "I'll set this card facedown and end my turn." Paul said, as a card appeared behind his two monsters.
Ken drew his next card, he looked at it and started to laugh hysterically!
"Hey, what's with you?" Paul asked.
"Watch, I set one card facedown, and summon the Marauding Captain to the field." He called out, appearing before him was yet another warrior. He was a knight, decked out in plate mail armor, he carried to large broad swords, he wore a red cape, and his face was stern and emotionless, with rough blonde hair, (1200/400).
"And since every Captain needs an Army. I call my second Marauding Captain to the field!" Ken called out, as a double appeared!
"Oh great!" Gearfried said, the infamous Captain Attack lock, now neither could be attacked.
Unless something is done, they'll be out gunned, I got to figure out away out of here, but How? If they see me use MST again, Kara and I are both dead. He thought to himself, he reached into his deck and was going through it.
What the? Where'd it go? I know I had that card in here, where'd go?
He wondered, just then he remembered when he got on the train.
Flash Back Begins
Aaron was sent flying backwards, and he hit the wall with a thud. A card fell off the top of his deck.
Flash Back Ends
Paul must have picked it up when he landed in the back of the train as well, that means they got away to get out that lock, And I've got an idea. But I got to get out of this ring.
He thought back to the battle, and remembered how Lily used her effect to wipe out the Warrior of the Sun, and even to when Reflect Bounder sent the Iron Fierce back at him.
Both did it so naturally, maybe all I have to do is believe I can do it on my own. I've only got one shot to pull this off, I got to plan it just right.
"My Turn." Amy called out, drawing her card. "I'll set two cards facedown, and leave it at that." She said, as a pair of cards appeared behind the Dark Ruler.
"My turn then." Jeni said, taking her card, "I play Amazoness Spellcastor, It will switch your Ha Des's attack power with my Amazoness Fighter, and I'll crush your Zombyra the Dark!"
Amy watched as her monster shrank to the size of kid, while the armored Amazon lunged forward and smashed Paul's to bits.
"That's all for me." Jeni called out as Paul's lp dropped to 5000.
Here goes!
Aaron's Rema filled space started to fire up with a bright light!
Gearfried's body flashed in a blaze of energy! The magnets surrounding him burst into dust!
The M-Warriors turned in alarm, but were too slow, as Gearfried's arm swung around to knock them away.
They raised their weapons, to try and freeze him again.
Not this time, Aaron thought, slamming a card into his brace.
"Polymerization!"
A swirling vortex appeared in front of Gearfried, the M-Warriors struggled against the pull of its event horizon, but were pulled inside.
Gearfried stepped past it, "You alright?" He asked Kara.
"I'm alright, but are you sure about what you just did?" She asked.
"Trust me, things are about to get a lot fairer." He said, turning around to see the emerging fusion.
He stood 5.9, covered in purple armor. He was a classic English knight with a vintage broad saber and a shield with a lion head crest. His face was angry, his blonde hair poked from the rim of his helmet.
"So nice to meet you Karbonala Warrior, let's see how well you do without that magnetic personality of yours." Gearfried said.
The enraged Knight charged him, but Gearfried was all set up. He ducked under the knight and shoved the two of them up into the air and out of the engine car.
The speeding train shot under them until they landed one of the rear cars.
"Gearfried! You're back!" Amy called out.
"How'd he learn how to use his effect?" Ken demanded.
"Never mind him, we still in charge of this duel, so he can fight all he wants, we'll still crush them." Jeni told him off.
"Sorry to disappoint you. But I know Paul and Amy can wipe you out in no time." Gearfried said, turning his attention back to the fight at hand.
Paul drew his next card, "I'll activate my facedown card, Card Destruction, now we all discard our hands and draw brand new cards." He said, ditching his hand, and drew his 3 new cards. And as he drew his last card, his eyes bulged, "What the?"
"I see you drew my card Paul." Gearfried said, dodging a slash from the Karbonala Warrior.
Paul looked again at the card, and then figured out what he needed.
"Let's really heat things up." He said, as the train continued down the tracks at high speed.
To be continued...
