hibryd: I shall no longer ask for reviews. I'll just take 'em as they come.
Okay? There. Also, all duels in this story from now on use real decks,
except the first duel, in which I use Valkyrion the Magna Warrior. So don't
sue me!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my own pathetic cards. They aren't even that good either! For instance, the Magnet Warriors without Valkyrion.
---------------- One Day at Home Chapter 4 ---------
"Who's first for the assault of Steven Bozeman, Average Duelist?" Steven asked to the air in front of him. And everyone laughed.
"We probably don't wanna rush into this, Steven." Paul remarked. "Besides, if Michael here can beat you at this ancient game of Duel Monsters, then I don't think you would want to rush into a duel you can't handle. It would be unethical."
"I wanna know what the hell you just said." Michael remarked to Paul's sudden rush of smartness.
"We should start off slow. I mean, there's a lot of cards in this universe that we've never even seen."
"Okay. So what you're saying is that I shouldn't just go around challenging people?" Steven asked Paul for an interpretation.
"Exactly."
"Too bad I never listen to your advice, Paul. Hey, you!" Steven said running up to someone else wearing a duel disk. "I challenge you to a duel!"
The short duelist looked up from talking with his friends. "You want to challenge me?"
"That's right. So let's go!"
"Okay, I only need one more Locator Card anyway, and that's exactly what you seem to have there."
"Okay. I'll put up my Locator Card and my Dark Magician!"
"Fine. If you beat me, you'll get my Beast of Talwar and two of my Locator Cards."
"Ha! Two Locator Cards? Okay. Let's duel! So you've got five Locator Cards, do you? Soon to be three!"
"Dude, you're a bit cocky, don't you think?" the duelist said.
"Yeah, let me cool off a bit. So what's your name, dude?"
"I'm Bart. That's all you need to know. How about you?"
"Steven. And I'll start this duel off with a monster in Defense Mode. That'll end my turn."
"How pitiful. I'll play a card facedown and 7 Colored Fish in Attack Mode! Attack his monster!"
"Ha! You fell into my Trap! Sangan! It goes to the Graveyard, and I get a monster from my Deck!"
There's two Magnet Warriors in my hand now, Alpha and Gamma. If I get Beta, it's all over for this guy! Steven thought to himself.
Steven: 4000 Bart: 4000
"My move now!"
Steven glanced at the Troop Dragon he had just drawn.
This'll come in handy later.
"Now I play the Magic Card Change of Heart! Your Fish is mine for the turn! So I'll offer it for Magical Marionette! Attack!"
Bart got a very unexpected attack that took out half his Life Points.
Steven: 4000 Bart: 2000
"Hm. A rare card."
"Not where I come from. It's actually quite common there."
"Okay. My move. I'll set another card facedown and summon Gearfried the Iron Knight! Go ahead."
Steven: 4000 Bart: 2000
He must be trying to lure me into a trap. Why else would he place a weaker monster than mine on the field? I'll find some way to get this guy. And with the Axe of Despair I just drew, it will go along much faster.
"Now watch closely, Bart, because I don't understand how you got that far into this Tournament without this kind of knowledge. I summon Dark Blade to the field in Attack mode. Now, Dark Blade, Attack his monster!"
"You're mad! Our monster's attack powers are equal! They'll destroy each other!"
"That's right. Dark Blade, kill yourself so I may win this duel."
"The darkly armored warrior slashed at the iron man, but up sprang three women in blue.
"A Waboku Trap card!"
"That's right. It saves my monster from the effects of the attack. But the same can't be said about your monster." Bart chuckled as Dark Blade exploded. "So sad about your monster."
"Very well, Marionette, attack!"
Bart wasn't chuckling anymore.
Steven: 4000 Bart: 1800
"My move now. I'll set one card facedown and Mask of the Accursed! One size fits all, and that's why it's a perfect fit for your Marionette."
A grotesque mask appeared and attached itself to the Marionette. Marionette struggled, but there was no getting the thing off its face.
"Now my Magical Marionette gains 200 attack points!"
"For all the good it'll do him. He can't attack! So I can safely summon this! La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp! Your move."
"Fine."
Steven: 4000 Bart: 1800
Immediately after Steven drew his card, (Magician of Faith) Bart said, "Stop! You'll now lose 500 Life Points due to my Mask!"
"What? Then I'd better do something this turn. I'll set a monster in Defense Mode and end my turn."
"Not very good, are we?" Bart remarked.
"I can say the same about you."
Steven: 3500 Bart: 1800
"I'll also set a monster in Defense Mode and attack your Defense!"
"My Magician of Faith has been destroyed, so I'll bring back this Change of Heart Magic Card from my Graveyard."
"To tell the truth, I could care less. Now I sacrifice La Jinn for Beast of Talwar!"
A great darkness appeared on the field, followed by two glowing yellow eyes that popped out of it.
"What is that thing?"
Two great wings unfolding from the creature's back answered Steven's question and the monster itself emerged. It had a muscular green body, big pointy ears (reminding Steven of an elf), and two curving scimitars. Its wings curled around its body without making a sound, and Steven suspected that, had this creature been real, it would not have hesitated to rip his head off.
"I told you!" Paul said, the first words from outside the duel being spoken by him. "Now you're into something you can't handle!"
"Who says I can't handle it?"
"Just look at yourself! You're shaking in fear!"
It was true. Even though the monster had just appeared, he knew he was in it deep, even though it only had 2400 attack points.
"You're lucky my great beast can't attack, or it would shred your monster to bits. Your move."
"Okay. And I lose Life Points due to that Mask of yours, right?"
"That's right."
"Okay. Ha! This Monster I've drawn has ensured me victory if this monster is your strongest. I summon Zombyra the Dark!"
A strange looking man with skulls being used as decoration on his costume appeared, but he only had 2100 attack points.
"What are you thinking? He's 300 points weaker than my monster!"
"Yes. But not for long, because I equip him with the Axe of Despair! And my Marionette gains another 200 attack points!"
"He can't attack. How many times must I keep telling you that?"
"It doesn't matter. Because Zombyra's gonna tear apart your Beast of Talwar. Attack, Zombyra!"
Though Bart's beast had looked mighty, it had been nothing to Zombyra's new Axe. It was torn apart.
"That attack did matter because I activate this! A Hero Emerges!"
A trap card that, oddly enough, featured Zombyra the Dark flying out of it was flipped up.
"This trap card forces you to pick a card in my hand. If it's a monster, it's automatically summoned to the field, if not, it's destroyed. And there's only one card in my hand."
"Fine, I pick that card." Steven said unconvincingly.
"Ha! It's my almighty beast! Though not my rarest card, it is my mightiest. Meet the Black Luster Soldier!"
A black knight wielding a lethal looking sword came to the field, dressed in all black armor.
"This mighty monster has 3000 attack points. Enough to knock out your Marionette and take a sizeable portion out of your Life Points."
"Well that's just too bad. I'll get rid of 400 of my Marionette's attack points to destroy your Soldier!"
"What? No, you can't do that!"
"Oh, but I can. Destroy Black Luster Soldier! It's your move now."
Bart's soldier hadn't even gotten to grace the field with his attack, and for this he was very angry.
Steven: 3000 Bart: 1100
"I'll put more Defense on the field and end my turn."
"Fine."
Steven: 3000 Bart: 1100
Steven glanced at the card he had drawn. And seen that he had drawn Beta the Magnet Warrior. The monster key to his strategy.
"I'll discard my three Magnet Warrior's from my hand to summon this! Valkyrion the Magna Warrior!"
A mighty monster made of magnets graced the field with its presence.
"And next I summon Gagagigo! And play Change of Heart! I'll take your most recent monster, thank you."
Steven flipped it up to discover Pixie Knight.
"How predictable. Zombyra, attack!"
"It's Witch of the Black Forest, so I'll take a monster from my Deck."
"It makes no difference! All my other creatures! Direct attacks!"
Bart was hit by every monster but Zombyra and the Magical Marionette, completely wiping out the rest of his Life Points.
Steven: 3000 Bart: 0000
