Chapter Five

Red Eyes Destruction! Joey vs. Edgar Part I

Back at the hotel, Joey was in the bathroom, getting ready for the tournament. He wore a white T-shirt and dark blue jeans to go with it. He then placed his Duel Disk over his right arm.

"Alright world, time to show you who's da best!" Joey shouted in his Brooklyn accent when a knock came to the door.

"Joey, hurry up!" he heard Tristan's voice call. "We're leavin' right now!" Joey immediately burst out of the bathroom and stood triumphantly.

"Guys, it's time to duel!" Joey screamed as he shot out of the door and bumped into a 13-year old kid. He had dark spiky hair, blue eyes, a white collared shirt, blue jeans, and a Duel Disk around his right arm. "Sorry about that." Joey helped the boy up and he shook around for a second.

"Ah, no problem." He replied. "My name is Edgar: Edgar Knight."

"Well Edgar," Joey began as he struck a pose. "I'm the ever-popular 2nd Place in Duelist Kingdom and Battle City Finalist Joey Wheeler! I'm sure you've heard a lot about me!"

"Actually, no." Edgar said as Joey anime-fell. Edgar just stared as Tea and Tristan came out of the hotel and looked surprisingly at Edgar.

"Hello." Tea greeted nicely. "Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Edgar Knight." Edgar replied. "Joey's not hurt or anything, he's just, uh…" Joey then jumped up and stood on his feet triumphantly.

"Never fear, the Wheeler is here!" he cried as he noticed Edgar's Duel Disk. "You're in the tournament?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah." Edgar said, holding up his Duel Disk. "Wanna duel?"

"Alright!" Joey shouted, activating his Duel Disk. "I never back down from a challenge!"

"Let's see how good you really are!" Edgar shouted, activating his Duel Disk.

"LET'S DUEL!"

"I'll start off," Edgar said, drawing a card from his deck. "First off, I'll summon Masked Dragon in ATK!" (1400/1100)

"Not bad," Joey said as he drew a card. "I activate the Spell Card Polymerization, fusing the Baby Dragon and Alligator Sword in my hand to summon…Dragon Riding Wyvern!" (1700/1600). "Thanks to its Special Ability, since your Masked Dragon is a fire monster, it can attack your LP directly!"

"Oh, crud." Edgar thought as Dragon Riding Wyvern stabbed him, dropping his LP to 2300. (4000-1700)

"How'd you like them apples?" Joey shouted as he did a little victory dance.

"Don't start cheering yet, Joey." Edgar reassured as he picked up a card from his deck. "I'll summon Double Coston (1700/1650) and I'll play one card face down."

What's he plan to do with that card? Joey thought. Time to find out. "My move! I activate De-Fusion, separating my Dragon-Riding Wyvern back into Alligator's Sword (1500/1200) and Baby Dragon (1200/700), but they won't be here for long, since I'll sacrifice them to summon my Red Eyes Black Dragon!" (2400/2000)

"Too bad, Joey, you activated my trap!" Edgar called as his face-down turned face up. "It's Bottomless Trap Hole, which destroys your Red-Eyes since it has 1500 or more ATK!"

"Aw, dang it!" Joey muttered as Edgar drew a card from his deck.

"I sacrifice my Double Coston to summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Edgar shouted as everyone else gasped.

"But, Red-Eyes is a level-seven monster." Tea said. "Don't you have to sacrifice two monsters to summon it?"

"Tea, that would be true in most cases," Edgar explained. ",but Double Coston's ability makes it count as two tributes when I summon a high-level dark monster."

"Bad news for Joey." Tristan said as Edgar's Red-Eyes flew over him.

"Now, attack with Inferno Fire Blast!" Edgar commanded as his dragon blasted Joey with a red and black ball of energy, stripping his LP down to 1600. (4000-2400)

"Joey, are you alright?" Tea asked as Joey got up from the blast.

"Yeah, but this duel isn't over!" Joey said.

"I'll play two face-down cards and end my turn!" Edgar claimed as Joey drew a card.

"I activate Scapegoat, which lets me summon 4 Sheep Tokens (0/0), and I'll sacrifice one of them to summon Jinzo!" (2400/1500)

"What's that gonna do?" Edgar asked as Joey smirked.

"Lots," he answered. "Especially when I equip it with 7 Completed! It gives Jinzo a power bonus by a whoppin' 700!" (3100/1500) "Now Jinzo, attack with Psycho Shocker!" Jinzo destroyed Red-Eyes Black Dragon, dropping Edgar's LP to 1600. "One card face down and that's a turn!"

"So, we're tied." Edgar laughed.

"Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it!" Joey joked.

"Right now, anything could happen…" Edgar said as he drew a card from his deck, took a quick glimpse of it, and smiled. "…like this. I activate Card Destruction! We both discard our hand and then draw the same number of cards we discarded!"

"Alright, but how does that help you?" Joey asked after admiring his new 'hand'.

"Plenty." Edgar smirked. "Next, I activate Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two cards! Now, I'll play Polymerization, fusing every single dragon in my hand!"

"What could he get with that?" Tristan asked as Edgar discarded his hand to the Graveyard.

"Now, I fusion summon Five God Dragon!" he called as his mighty beast appeared onto the field. (5000/5000)

How could I possibly defeat that? Joey thought. Last time, Yugi and I teamed up to stop it, but now it's only me…

"Five God Dragon, destroy Jinzo!" Edgar called as his dragon fired a blast of darkness, thunder, fire, earth, and water at Jinzo.

"I activate the face down card Nutrient Z!" Joey yelled as Jinzo was destroyed. "It activates when I'm about to lose 2000 LP or more, and it gives me a 4000 point boost!" Joey LP: 600 (1600 + 4000-5000)

"My turn!" Joey shouted as he drew a card from his deck. How am I supposed to stop that thing? I might as well go on the defensive. "I play a monster in defense mode and end my turn."

"There's not much you can do with my Five God Dragon on the field." Edgar joked. "Five God Dragon, attack Joey's face-down!" Five God Dragon blasted Joey's face down card, which turned out to be Swordsman of Landstar. (1200)

"Your move, Joey!" Edgar called as Joey drew a card from his deck.

"First, I'll activate the Warrior Returning Alive, which brings back my Flame Swordsman in defense mode (1600) and I'll summon Gearfried the Iron Knight in defense mode (1600) and I'll end my turn."

"Sorry dude, but those defenses won't be able to stop me!" Edgar shouted as he drew a card from his deck and smiled. I summon Armed Dragon LV3 (1200/900) and activate Level Modulation, which lets me upgrade my Armed Dragon into his LV5 mode!" (2400/1700) "It also lets you draw two cards, but by the way things are going in this duel, I don't think they'll help you."

"We'll see about that…" Joey said as he drew two cards from his deck. He looked at them and smirked.

"Now dragons, attack Joey's monsters!" Edgar called as Five God Dragon destroyed Flame Swordsman and Armed Dragon destroyed Gearfried the Iron Knight.

"There's also another thing…" Edgar laughed. "Whenever Armed Dragon destroys a monster in battle, he upgrades into LV7!" Joey, Tristan, and Tea gasped as Armed Dragon morphed into LV7. (2800/1000)

I'm not gonna give up this duel! Joey thought as he held up a card that he just drew. "Time to show you what duelin's all about!"
