Chuck slammed his newly drawn card on his Duel Brace, "I summon the Skilled Dark Magician in Attack mode!" He called out, as a man dawned in thick black garbs and heavy shoulder armor. He carried a long staff, at the end was a sphere that all so was on his chest and both shoulder guards, his eyes were hidden by a black hood, but his force was ominous. (1900/1700).
"And how is that supposed to help you?" Ser asked.
"Maybe if you weren't so busy grandstanding your trap combo during my last turn you may have noticed something. My Facedown card!" Chuck said, pointing at it.
"What! How did you get that card on the field without me knowing?"
"Simple, after I attacked with my Dark Magican and you chained, my battle phase ended, allowing me to slip my card in before I ended my turn, so now it is time to reveal it, Go Grave Robber!"
The trap flipped up and a small elf with a pickaxe and a green outfit with a tombstone on his back appeared, holding in his hands a magic card, Ser's Pot of Greed.
"You expect to win with that card? And besides, playing the card from Graverobber inflicts 2000 damage to your lifepoints."
"That maybe but I'm after more than just another two cards, I'm after 4! I play Pot of Greed, and follow through with my Serial Spell Card!" He called out, his life points dropping, but duo pots appeared before him and he drew 4 new cards. However, the two orbs on the Magician shoulders had lit up upon activation of the Pots.
"And now I play my own Pot of Greed, giving me five cards, and now watch as I revive my Dark Magician!"
The final orb on the monster's chest glowed brightly, but then the whole monster was swept up in a dark vortex, and emerging from it came Chuck's Dark Magician for the second time.
"So what, I crushed that monster once already, he's still no match for my monster." Ser said, his monster's fierce gaze was focused on the Dark Magician.
"I think not, I Play Double Spell, by casting out my Cost Down, I can take 1 of your magic cards and use it as my own, and this time I choose your Monster Reborn!"
The card shot from Ser's graveyard, and landed in Chuck's Hand, "Now I play two Monster Reborns, I call back to the field, Jinzo, and the Tri Horned Dragon!"
Both cards grew bright with light as the monsters emerged, Jinzo appeared once again, its menacing appearance gave Ser a slight fright, since now his trap combo was not active. And appearing along side him was a giant blue dragon, its head was large and carried long yellow horns sprouting from the back of its neck, it was as long as a dinosaur, and its fury was not to be challenged. (2850/2350).
"Ha, your strongest beast is still no match for mine Chuck; you are just prolonging your defeat. Ha ha ha ha!" Ser began to rant.
But Chuck had a big grin, and he pulled a card from his hand and held it up, Polymerization.
"What!!!"
"You got it, My monsters lack the power to crush your beast separately, but as one, you'll see for your self as I fuse them, Go Polymerization!" Chuck called out as he slammed the card in the brace.
The familiar swirling vortex appeared on the field, but this time the Dark Magician was pulled in, along with Jinzo. The Vortex was becoming unstable, the being formed inside it was becoming whole, as the energies combined, and the vortex exploded from the force!
The same purple robes stretched down but the chest plate armor of Jinzo appeared. The purple hat disappeared and the Dark Magician's long hair rolled down his back. He then wore a pair of snowboarding goggles that were red like Jinzo's own pair. And instead of a normal staff, it transformed into a purple handle sword with a shining green blade.
"Impossible!!!" Ser called out in disbelief.
Chuck held the card up; the image of the card was the monster with its sword at the ready. "Read it and weep pal, It's my own card, Dark Holocaust!" (3000/2400).
Ser realized the advantage had changed indeed, the monster's piercing gaze beyond its red shades gave away the fact he still possessed the power of Trap disarmament. And with 3000 atk points, he had enough to destroy his only monster!
"The end begins here, Go! Neon Blade Attack!!!" Chuck commanded his monster, as it lunged forward and with its blade glowing brightly, slashed the massive beast in half as it blew apart.
Ser's life points dropped by 50, but at 7150 life points, he would easily survive the attack of the Dragon.
"It looks like your declaration is false; you can't finish me off with just one monster."
"How true, So prepare to lose at the hands of all my monsters!" Chuck said, holding his last card in his hand up.
"Impossible!"
"When the need rises, there is no such thing, I play De-Fusion!" He called out as the card caused the Dark Fusion monster to break apart into energy, and then back into the 2 monsters it was made from. (2500) (2400)
"This can't be!!!"
"Attack! Dark Magic Attack! Cyber Energy Shock! Black Inferno Storm!!" Chuck called out as his 3 monsters dove forward.
The Dark Magician fired his staff, Jinzo raised his hands and fired a blast of dark energy, and the Tri Horned Dragon's mouth released a powerful down pour of black flame upon Ser! (7750)
Ser didn't even put up a barrier, the bomb under him exploded and he vaporized from the following strikes.
Chuck had no time to worry; the timer started up and counted down from 40 seconds.
The truck had come to a full stop, the traffic jam was so congested there was no way that the explosion wouldn't take out over 500 people and injure hundreds more.
"URRGGHHH!!!!" He called out as his body began to glow with incredible force, his hair was changing from its brown shade to a emerald green, the Rema within him was flaring in and out of control as he summoned all that he could, and it surrounded the truck!
"Time to Fly!!!" He called out as he forced the truck off the ground and into the air at incredible speed!
Chuck threw the vehicle so far up into the sky, he was hitting the stratosphere!
He bailed out, and dove out off the truck and plummeted as fast as he could!
The timer ran out, and the whole vehicle burst into an inferno in the sky! The flaming debris was scattered to the winds, but Chuck had used so much of his Rema, he couldn't turn back into Neo and phase to safety.
Funny I didn't expect to die like this, Willie Coyote eat your heart out.
Just then he saw something out of the corner of his eye, There is a god.
Back at the Damn, Jordan threw a card, 4 now in his hand, but the only card he had on the field was his Black pendant and even that had been taken away from him.
"I'll set this monster facedown, then, I set these two cards facedown. And that's all folks."
"It must be sad to lose so badly, but on with the game!" He said, drawing a card, I play My Pot of greed, and draw these 2 cards."
Deno drew next two cards and grinned, "I set one card facedown, and next I summon Hyper Hammer Head." The card emerged on the field, and appearing before them was another monster resembling a raptor, but this copper skinned creature had a head designed like a hammer, the nostrils was warped into a hammer, (1500/1200).
"This is not looking good." Jordan said to himself.
"And now it's time I take you out! Mad Sword Beast Attack!" Deno called out, as the charging beast ran forth to crush Jordan's monster.
"Not quite!" Jordan called out, as he threw his last card into his graveyard, and one of his facedown cards flipped up and it was a trap card with the image of a monster being electrocuted, "Raigeki Break go!"
A burst of lightning fired from the card and the Mad Sword beast burned up in flames.
"Not a bad play, but it will not save you, Hammer Head attack!" The dino came in with a mad charge, and with a head bash, Jordan's facedown monster exploded, The faint image of a fuzzy brown ball with green paws, and yellow eyes, (300/200).
"Say good bye to your Kuriboh, and now your life points! Attack!"
Jordan raised his hand and said, "Scapegoat!" His facedown magic card engaged, and 4 multicolored goats appeared on the field, and all but the red one wear crushed under the force of the 3 dinos.
"I never liked those fuzzballs."
"Well too bad Barney lover, your move's done!" Jordan called out, as he drew his card.
"POT OF GREED!" He called out, as he drew his own pot, and took 2 cards from his deck.
"I figured you may get that card eventually, so now I activate Appropriate!" Deno called out, as his trap activated, and he drew 4 cards!
"Oh gimme a break!" Jordan whined.
"Tough luck, for every card you get out of your draw phase, I get 2!"
Jordan growled, "Fine, we'll see what happens!" He looked at his hand, and couldn't believe what he saw, "I set one card facedown and end my turn."
Deno couldn't believe it, "It's your funeral, Draw!"
"Now I special summon my third Gilasaurs!" He called out, as the final raptor appeared, (1400/400).
"But now summon a monster from my graveyard!" Jordan called out, as he pulled a monster out of his graveyard and slammed it into his brace, and emerging on the field was a Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)
"How'd that get there!?"
"My Raigeki Break made me throw a card to the graveyard, and I since it was the only one left in my hand, so now I can use him to take you out." Jordan said, proudly admiring his card.
"Well I wouldn't be so proud yet, I still out number you 5 to 2, and now it's time I make way and crush your final goat, I sacrifice my Gilasaurs, and summon this!"
The dino vanished, but in its place appeared a giant beast, it was a massive hulk of flesh, stood on all fours, but its face resembled a bird, complete with yellow beak, and a mane of feathers. (2450/1500).
"Meet My Dark Driceratops, and watch when I crush your last scapegoat!"
The beast reached with its beak with tremendous force, and blew the goat to dust, but the beast's trample power dropped Jordan's life points down to 4950.
But then Jordan called out, "Facedown card open! Cape of the Hero!"
"What the?" Deno wondered.
The card was a trap card, but the image on it was a cape that appeared to be changing colors.
"My own trap card here will be the beginning of the end for you Deno, It takes half my life points to use, but here it goes."
The trap card began to spin, the cape's color changing each time it circled.
"Whatever my cape's color lands on, I must follow the effect that goes with it, and I'll warn you, each is as bad as the next!"
The card finally stopped spinning, And the cape's color was now a flaming bright red.
"Alright!" Jordan called out, "The red cape allows me draw and summon till I have the same number of monsters on your side of the field, in exchange, you get to summon a monster from your hand with the highest atk power at half its sacrifice cost."
Deno drew cards double to the ones Jordan was from his trap card, from the mass of cards in his hand, he made his decision, he removed his Two headed King Rex, and in its place came a huge black dinosaur, its body was covering in thick exoskeleton, his jaws were filled with razor sharp teeth, and spikes were on its shoulders, and was larger than the Blue Eyes, "I choose to Summon my Black Tyranno!" he called out, (2600/1800).
The red cape flowed across Jordan's field, and appearing along side the Blues were a pair of its kind, as well as two large dragons, each coated in black skin, they were far more aero dynamitic with its lighter body, they were far more boney than the blue eyes, but they gave a furious rage that rivaled the blue eyes, and they're red eyes were full of anger. (2400/2000)
"3 Blue Eyes White Dragons and 2 Red Eyes Black Dragons, I say we've gotten our selves a show down." Jordan said, holding 3 more cards that he got from the cape.
"That's what you think, I'll play my Smashing Ground card! Say good bye to one of your Blue Eyes. And I'll attack with my Hammer head and send Red eyes back to your hand!"
His Hammerhead collided with a Red eyes Dragon, the force caused both of them to shake, but where as one monster was destroyed, the Red eyes was thrown back, and off the field.
"Try and get me." Deno said, his army of 4 Dinos seemed unbeatable. He cast out the mass in his hands and ended his turn.
Jordan drew his next card, and said, "Now I remove My Blue Eyes and Kuriboh from my graveyard to special summon Chaos Sorcerer!" A monster appeared next to Jordan, a guy dawned in black leather uniform, his head was covered with a black hood, with wings similar to the ones on the Buster Blader, similar curves were also on the out fit, but in his hands were forces of both light and darkness. (2300/2000)
"I now play my Riryoku, I'll take half of your Rex's attack power and add it to my Blue eyes!" He said, as the Tyrano appeared to weaken, and the Blue eyes grew mightier, (4300)
"Now watch as I use his special ability to remove one monster from the field at the cost of his attack, now say good bye to your Rex!" Jordan called out as the monsters hands created twin beams of incredible energy, the effect seemed to drain the sorcerer, but he still released it, and in a powerful burst of energy, the Tyranno exploded!
"No!"
"It gets far worse, activate Big Bang Shot! These raise my Blue Eyes strength by 400, now the fun begins, I play Fissure!"
A crack in the earth formed under Gilasaurs, and caused it to fall in.
"Now that he's gone, my Black Pendant I put on him causes you to lose 500 life points!"
Deno growled, his life points were down to 6200.
"Now here we go, Blue Eyes White Dragons, Destroy his monsters now! Burst Stream!"
The twin dragons floated into the air, and released a powerful burst of energy so strong, the earth shook as the two monsters were blown away. (3450)
"And now, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Direct attack!"
The Red eyes flew forward, and swiped with its sharp claws, Deno formed a barrier to block the damage, (1050).
"Looks like you couldn't finish me off, too bad, my turn."
"Who said it was over?" Jordan said, "I now sacrifice my Red Eyes Black Dragon and Chaos Sorcerer to summon my other Red Eyes back to the field." The two monsters were engulfed in light, and the dragon appeared strong as ever.
"Why did you sacrifice one dragon and another monster for the same dragon?"
"So I can play this magic card, it couldn't work on the last Red Eyes since it already attacked, but this one didn't. Now this duel ends, I play the Magic card, Inferno Fire Blast!!!"
The Dragon's mouth fueled with incredible flame, as the creature flew into the air, and sent the burst flying straight towards Deno.
"Spirit MERGE!!!" Deno called out, as the Gravity Axe appeared before him, just as the blast hit him.
His life points dropped to zero, but Guardian Grarl came charging straight for Jordan!
"I'll kill you!" He roared.
Jordan swung his fist, and surprisingly, the blow knocked back the Monster.
"I guess the deal is off, Spirit Merge!" Jordan said, transforming himself back into Archfiend Soldier.
He took off with incredible speed up the rocky embankment towards the news crews.
"Get back here!" Grarl roared.
"Shut up!" a voice called out from above.
The Dino looked up to see a boot crash on his face.
"Do it now Amy!" Neo called out.
Coming down from the skies, Injection Fairy Lily came barreling down at full speed, "NEEDLE SHOCK WAVE!!!" She called out, as she released a powerful force of energy right out of her syringe!
Deno had no time to react, and was engulfed in the powerful light and vaporized.
Without the Rema of their master, the Dinosaurs on the Dam faded away.
"What took you so long?" Jordan asked.
"Sorry, I had to give Chuck a lift." Amy answered as she descended towards him.
"I didn't find Ashley with me," Chuck said.
"And it's pretty easy to see she isn't here either." Jordan said.
"Then we better find where Aaron went, Amy could you take care of the audience?" Chuck asked.
"Sure." She said, and then turned to the shocked civilians. "Now you and I are going to have a long talk." She said, stroking her 5 ft long weapon.
"Let's get going, Aaron's going to need back up." Jordan said.
"Then point the way, he didn't say where." Chuck stated.
Then that thought dawned on him, Aaron had explained the other two points but the last he had gone on his own, so neither of them knew where he was heading.
"Son of a-"
A white gloved hand smacked him across the face.
