Well, I apologize for not posting a chapter in such a long time, but school has been demanding. However, during this time I have found time to create many more characters for the fic that will show up (some in this chapter, some in future). I finally have the time to sit down and write since its spring break ;D
Yu-Gi-Oh! Mysteries of Dimensions Chapter IV
"Attention, to all of those who have passed their entrance exams, please report to the docks immediately." A loud intercom erupted into the ears of the duelists.
'Could it possibly any louder?' Donavan wondered as he peered across the room.
"I guess it is time for us to go to the Academy eh?" Donavan asked Anna. He looked over at her and she had a look of excitement on her face.
Anna nodded happily with a smile in response as they walked towards the docks.
As they approached the docks, Donavan noticed many duelists from a variety of backgrounds. The one that interested him the most however, was a boy his age dressed in black leather, with cloth covering half of his face. Anna seemed to notice that Donavan was gazing off.
"What are you staring at?" Anna curiously inquired.
"Look at that guy; I wonder why he's dressed like that?" Donavan responded
"I heard him talking earlier; he said his family was part of a ninja clan or something of the sort." Anna informed.
"Well, that answers my question I guess." Donavan mumbled.
"Everyone please board the ship heading for Duel Academy at this time." The intercom blared.
"That would be us Donavan!" Anna exclaimed. "Come on, let's go!"
"You go on Anna; I think I may stay out here for a little while longer. I'll meet up with you on board the ship." Donavan told her.
"Ok then, see ya later!" Anna said as she trolled off toward the ship.
'Beautiful, yet spirited; I like her.' Donavan thought to himself as he noticed someone approaching.
"Excuse me old chap, are you Donavan Car?" A dark haired male said in a deep British accent.
"Perhaps, depends on who you are." Donavan replied with a look of curiosity on his face.
"I'm sorry for being rude, I am Arthur Wittinghame. I shall also be attending Duel Academy as one of your classmates. I couldn't help but to notice how you defeated the top duelist in the school in your entrance exam. I must say that I am very impressed." Arthur explained.
'Great, a fan boy.' Donavan thought to himself. "Thanks I guess…" Donavan said nonchalantly.
"Sorry but I must ask, would you mind facing me in a duel?" Arthur asked hopefully
"Not now, the boat will be leaving soon, perhaps later." Donavan said trying to hide his annoyance at the question.
"Alright then, I'll be sure to ask again, cheerio!" Arthur said as he walked off.
'Surely everyone I'll meet won't be annoying.' Donavan thought to himself referring to Joe and Arthur as he walked towards the ship.
Donavan found his assigned room to his liking. It was small, yet cozy. It reminded him of his room so long ago. 'I can crash here for a night.' He thought to himself. He heard a lot of talking coming from the lobby so he decided to go and see what was going on. All of the new students were out there, trading and a few were preparing to duel. Two of them that he recognized were the one he had noticed earlier dressed in ninja like appeal and Arthur.
'This might be worth my time to watch.' Donavan thinking while he looked on interested. 'I am curious to see what the both of them are using. Perhaps one of them will be worth my time?'
"Hey Donavan! What are you doing out here? Are you here to watch the duels? I know I am!" Joe ambushed Donavan with questions.
'Just what I needed.' Donavan thought. 'God, I wish he would have failed the entrance exam; it would have made my time here much more pleasant.'
"So where's Anna? She's really pretty don't ya think?" Joe rambled on.
"If you'd excuse me, I'm trying to watch this duel." Was all Donavan bothered to reply as he walked through the crowd to get a better view.
"Arthur, I accept your challenge!" The ninja-like Hiashi confirmed. "However, if you think you are in for an easy game, you are sorely mistaken."
"To the contrary, I wouldn't want a match less than spectacular." Arthur replied as he slid his deck into his duel disk. "Mind if I start things off?"
"Go right ahead." Hiashi replied.
"Ok then, I'll start by playing my Reinforcement of the Army magic card. With the effect, I will search out Queens Knight. Next, I'll summon Marauding Captain and then special summon Queen's Knight with its ability. You're up mate." Arthur declared.
Hiashi viewed the field, a warrior decked out in medieval armor wielding a pair of swords, and an elegant woman holding a sword in one hand and a red shield in the other before drawing his six cards.
'What is this guy up to?' Hiashi wondered.
"I'll summon my Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke to the field in attack mode!" Hiashi proclaimed.
A ninja in white wielding two white daggers appeared poised to attack.
"Since I cannot declare an attack on your Queen's Knight as long as Marauding Captain is on the field, I'll just take it out now! Sasuke, attack Marauding Captain!"
The ninja jumped up, spinning in the air before throwing the daggers into Marauding Captain. Arthur's life points dropped to 3400.
"I will now set a facedown and end with that." Hiashi concluded.
"I must congratulate you on such a great move; however, I am about to take control of this contest." Arthur said proudly after viewing his freshly drawn card. "I'll now summon King's Knight."
A knight with a blonde beard appeared, wearing the same red armor as Queen's Knight. Then, another knight appeared wearing blue armor.
"Since I summoned King's Knight while Queen's Knight was face up on the field, I was allowed to special summon Jack's Knight from my deck." Arthur gloated. "Now Jack's Knight, destroy that Ninja Grandmaster!"
The Knight lunged forward with his long sword and stabbed… straight into a decoy.
"What happened? Why isn't your ninja dead?" Arthur asked frantically.
"Sasuke is still alive because I activated my trap, Ninjitsu Art of Decoy! As long as it is face up on the field, one ninja on my side of the field can't be destroyed through battle! However, I still take damage accordingly." Hiashi explained as his life points dropped to 3900.
Murmurs spread through the crowd at such an interesting technique used by Hiashi.
Hearing these murmurs Arthur concluded annoyed, "With that, I'm forced to set a magic or trap and end my turn."
Hiashi then drew and thought over his options carefully, 'As long as my trap card is out, Sasuke can't be destroyed.' "I will now summon Swift Ninja to the field!"
A short ninja dressed in black leather rose to the field in a confident pose.
Swift Ninja
Dark
800/100
This card can attack your opponent's life points directly. Remove this card from play during your end phase. At any time during your main phase, you can bring it back to the field.
"Now, Swift Ninja attack his life points directly, and Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke attack his King's Knight!"
Sasuke threw his white daggers into King's Knight, while Swift Ninja's single dagger went right past the knights into Arthur's Chest.
Arthur grunted as his life points dropped to 2300.
"I will set a magic or trap and end my turn while Swift Ninja is removed from play." Hiashi finished.
'I can't get rid of the Grandmaster as long as the decoy is on the field, and I can't destroy that Swift Ninja because it doesn't stay on the field long enough to get to it. Unless I can draw something here, I am in trouble.' Arthur thought. A smile then spread across his face after seeing what he drew.
"Blade Knight come forth! Now I will play Divine Sword- Phoenix Blade on King's Knight raising its attack points by 300. Now Blade Knight's attack power increases up to 2000!" Arthur told Hiashi with a smile spreading across his face.
The knight in white armor visibly became stronger and his blade grew a tad bit longer.
"I now attack with all three of my Knights into your Grandmaster!" Arthur yelled out as all three knights sliced into the decoy as Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke slipped away from the attacks. Hiashi's life points dropped to 3500. "I'll conclude my turn by setting my final card in hand."
"Perfect," Hiashi said viewing the situation. "First, I'll activate that magic card known as Dark Hole, which will destroy all monsters on the field!"
"Not quite," Arthur smugly replied. "I activated the quick-play magic card My Body as a Shield to save my monsters at the cost of 1500 life points. Arthur's life points dropped to 800.
"No matter, you just put me in position to win the game, or did you forget about Swift Ninja who will return to me now!" Hiashi laughed. "Swift Ninja finish him off now!"
"Did you really think I would leave myself open like that? I activated Sakuretsu Armor!" Arthur countered.
The Ninja threw his dagger at Arthur, only to be repelled and destroyed.
'Ugh, my overconfidence cost me there, oh well; I still have control of the duel.' Hiashi thought. "I'll activate the magic card known as Fuhma Shuriken and equip Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke with it raising his attack by 700 and set a facedown." Hiashi concluded. 'Of course, that's not all it does.'
"I'll now draw and take control of this duel!" Arthur predicted. 'I….I got it, the one monster that could help me.' "I will now sacrifice all three of my knights to summon the one and only, Gilford the Lightning! And it will now destroy all monsters on your side of the field, which at this time is only the Grandmaster."
A ripped warrior appeared and cast a bolt of lightning down on Hiashi's side of the field destroying Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke. Once the dust cleared, however, two star-shaped shuriken were thrown at Arthur.
"What is going on?" Arthur asked amazed watching his life points dropped to 100.
"The effect of my Fuhma Shuriken deals 700 damage to your life points when it is destroyed." Hiashi explained with a grin on his face."
"Oh well, Gilford, attack him directly!" Arthur ordered.
The warrior growled as a bolt of lightning erupted from his sword heading straight at Hiashi, decreasing his life points to 700.
"I now end my turn," Arthur said confidently.
'All I need is one ninja, and this duel is mine.' Hiashi thought as he drew his card. Hiashi then smiled. "I summon Armed Ninja in attack mode and end my turn!"
"What are you doing? Is this a joke, you have just lost yourself the duel!" Arthur laughed as he drew. "Gilford attack Armed Ninja for game!"
Once again, the sword erupted into a bolt of lightning heading straight at Armed Ninja.
"You were right Arthur; this duel is over, except I just won! I activated my facedown Poisonous Shuriken! This card negates any battle damage I would take when a Ninja is involved and deals 1000 damage to you!"
Poisonous Shuriken
Quick play Spell
This card can only be activated when you control a monster with "Ninja" in its name. When a "Ninja" monster is involved in battle you can send this card to the graveyard to negate any damage taken and deal 1000 damage to your opponent's life points.
Arthur smiled with resignation as the shuriken dealt the remaining 100 damage to his life points.
"Congratulations Hiashi that was a great duel mate!" Arthur said sincerely.
"One hard fought at that," Hiashi concluded before walking off.
'I was right, that Hiashi fellow really does have potential. I'll need to watch out for him.' Donavan thought as he headed off towards his room.
Donavan glanced at his watch, it was already 11 pm. He decided to go to sleep and be prepared to move into his dormitory in Obelisk Blue the following day. However, he could not sleep as too many things were on his mind. For one, he wondered about Anna, and how often he would be able to see her once they were on the island. He hoped they would see each other often, as she was by far the most interesting person he had met so far.
'It's interesting how events from my past can catch up to me.' He mused while thinking of Anna and her mother.
'Hopefully they will turn out for the better, and not the worse,' He prayed as he fell off into his dreams.
