10. Kyu VS The Toon Deck.
The score settled down to Kyu: 100 and Mikami: 900. Mikami took the lead, taking out a chunk of Kyu's life points out with his Toon Black Magician Girl. Kyu on the other hand was now taking the lead, having his Dark Blade (2200/1900) which was now equipped to Pitch Dark Dragon, and XYZ Dragon Cannon (2800/2600).
Mikami starred at Kyu, smiling evilly as Kyu's excitement got the better of him. "My turn ends!" Mikami announced, having no other cards in his hand.
"Draw!" Kyu announced, drawing the first card for his empty hand. "Now! XYZ Dragon Cannon, attack and destroy his Toon Black Magician Girl!"
"Activate trap card!" Mikami announced as a face down card suddenly appeared onto his magic and trap card zone.
"What? How can you, you have no cards nor did you ever set a card!" Kyu said.
"This trap card, Devil's Right Hand, can be activated from my deck when I have Devil's Black Stone in my graveyard. Now that you've unleashed an attack, I can chose a monster from my deck and defend my Toon Black Magician Girl with it!" Mikami explained. Mikami took his deck out of his deck holster, quickly selecting a card from his deck and placing it on his duel disk in defense mode. "Now go! Toon Gilfar Demon!Defend Toon Black Magician Girl!"
"No!" Kyu gasped as the XYZ Dragon Cannon unleashed a round of missiles at the demon, destroying it.
"And since my Toon Gilfar Demon was destroyed, I can equip it to one of your monsters and reduce it's attack by five hundred!" Mikami said. "And since your Dark Blade now opposes a threat to me, I'll chose it as my victim!"
Suddenly the toon demon turned into a spirit, invading into the dark blade. The warrior screamed, holding it's head as it's eyes began to glow an eerie purple, it's attack power reducing to 1700.
Mikami grinned, knowing he was safe. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Kyu announced.
"Draw!" Mikami announced, drawing his card. "Now! I activate this, Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two cards! And now! I'll activate this, Cost Down!"
"Cost Down!" Hide gasped.
"With this, I can reduce all the monsters in my hand by one level!" Mikami announced. "So now! I sacrifice Toon Black Magician Girl to summon this!"
"Oh no..." Kyu said, getting ready for anything.
"Blue Eyes Toon Dragon! (3000/2500)" Mikami erupted, slapping the card onto his duel disk.
Suddenly the Toon World Book began to jump around, then opened up, releasing the toon dragon. The dragon gave a cheerfully 'yay!' and began to flex it's muscles. "This toon is probably the strongest of them all, representing the ultimate Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
"Blue Eyes White Dragon? Of course! The three only Blue Eyes White Dragons belong to Master Kaiba's deck..." Hide said, scratching his chin. "Pegasus must have made that card when Seto Kaiba and himself had a rivalry. Kyu is going to have to be strong for this one."
Mikami smiled his devious smile. "But it's too bad since that Toon monsters can attack on the first turn they are summoned. You are spared for one turn." Mikami said.
"Draw!" Kyu announced, drawing his card. Kyu glanced at his card and smiled.
"What did he draw?" Hide wondered.
"Kuriboh, I guess you knew I needed you." Kyu said in his mind.
"Well?" Mikami said as Kyu took a quick pause.
"Now! I activate XYZ Dragon Cannon's effect!" Kyu announced.
"Wrong!" Mikami said, pointing his finger. "Activate trap card, Devil's Left Hand!"
"Another one?" Kyu said.
"This time I can stop any cards effects on the field since you have two effect monsters on the field!" Mikami said.
"That's right. Not only is XYZ Dragon Cannon a fusion monster, but it also has an effect. And Pitch Dark Dragon is still counted as a effect monster." Kyu said in his mind.
"And now I will have the ability to defeat you and ruin your life and your origin in Duel Monsters!" Mikami laughed.
"My turn ends..." Kyu said, lowering his head.
"Draw!" Mikami shouted, drawing his next card, not caring what it was. "Now! I sacrifice five hundred life points (LP: 400) so Blue Eyes Toon Dragon can attack your life points directly!"
Suddenly the toon dragon sucked in air, bloating himself up, then firing a stream of fire toward Kyu. "Kyu! No!" Hide said, in shock.
"Heh heh!" Kyu smiled, lifting his head up. "Gotcha!"
"What?" Mikami said.
"I'll activate Kuriboh's special ability!" Kyu said, holding the card up. "By discarding it I can negate the damage!"
"No!" Mikami growled, clenching his fists.
Suddenly the Kuriboh materialized in front of the fire stream, taking the blast, and getting destroyed. "Thank you, Kuriboh, you've helped me greatly." Kyu said, looking at the card and slipping it into his graveyard.
"Lucky shot... But you're not lucky enough." Mikami said.
Within the light house, a character was viewing the duel. A quick smirk appeared the man's face as he looked down on the duel from the top of the light house.
"Hah! Great play!" Hide said from the side lines.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Mikami said in a snarl.
"Draw!" Kyu announced, drawing his card. "Now! I activate my own Pot of Greed!"
Kyu quickly drew his two cards. "I'll then discard a card from my hand to activate XYZ Dragon Cannon's effect!" Kyu announced. "Destroy his Toon World!"
Mikami growled as the machine launched a torpedo at the book. The torpedo exploded on contact with the book. The book opened, sucking in the Blue Eyes Toon Dragon. The toon dragon desperately hung onto the pages but lost it's catch and was sucked in. The book then exploded.
"Finally I'll end this duel!" Kyu said. "Dark Blade (1700/1900), attack his life points directly!"
"This duel's not over!" Mikami hollered. "Activate trap card, Mega Attack Nullification!"
"No..." Kyu gasped as the Dark Blade unleashed a whirl wind with it's blade. The whirl wind was sucked into a vortex, making the attack invalid.
"This is just like Attack Nullification, but with an upgraded effect. I can now equip this to your XYZ Dragon Cannon, and as long as it is equipped to your machine, it can't attack or change it's position, and it eliminates you from activating it's effect!"
"No! I won't be able to win without it!" Kyu gasped as the machine began to glow a pink color.
"Kyu's favorite card has been paralyzed, it's useless to him now!" Hide gasped.
"Draw!" Mikami announced, drawing his card. Mikami laughed evilly. "Well seems your out of luck! Now I activate this, Film Animation!"
"Film Animation?" Kyu said, oblivious to the card.
"This magic card allows me to remove 2 toon monsters from my graveyard to activate Toon World without the cost of one thousand life points, or I can discard the top of my deck to summon a toon monster from my graveyard." Mikami explained.
"Either one has it's costs. It'll be no use to you." Kyu said.
"But there's a third choice..." Mikami smiled deviously. "I can activate both effects by sacrificing half of my life points!"
"No!" Hide gasped.
"Now! I sacrifice half my life points (LP: 200) so I can remove Toon Black Magician Girl and Toon Gemini Elves to activate Toon World!" Mikami announced as the book returned to the field. "And now! I'll discard the top five cards from my deck so I can bring back Blue Eyes Toon Dragon! (3000/2500)"
"No..." Kyu said.
"But once again, I must end my turn due to the fact that I can't attack with a toon monster on the same turn it was summoned." Mikami said as he ended his turn.
"If I don't draw the card I need now, I'm doomed." Kyu said, slowly placing his two fingers on the top card.
Hide felt as if his heart skipped a beat, questions went through his mind, thinking if Kyu would win or lose. He knew he couldn't handle this school without Kyu, but he knew Kyu would come up with a plan.
"Without my XYZ Dragon Cannon, I can't take down his Toons, and my Dark Blade is unable to do any damage." Kyu said looking at his monsters.
"Kyu-Haru!" a voice called out from the entrance of the light house, behind Mikami.
"Seto Kaiba?" Kyu said, shocked by his appearence.
"Do not tell me I see a sense of doubt in this duel!" Kaiba said in a demanding voice. "I was once in your situation, but never gave up!"
Kaiba's words suddenly hit Kyu. He wasn't trying to be mean, but be helpful. "Right!" Kyu said, grabbing the next card. "Draw!"
Kyu glanced at his new card. "Yeah..." Kyu said. "Now! I activate this, Little Flame Burst!"
"Little Flame Burst?" Mikami said, confused.
To activate this card, I'll sacrifice XYZ Dragon Cannon and Dark Blade!" Kyu said, taking the two cards off of his duel disk. He took a glance, giving them a quick thanks for their strength. "And now! I'll bring back, Kuriboh! (300/200)"
"You sacrifice two strong monsters just to bring back a weaker monster?" Mikami said.
"Yea, but because of Little Flame Burst's ability, Kuriboh's attack power increases by three thousand!" Kyu said, holding his fist up. Suddenly Kyu's Kuriboh burst into flames, creating a flaming fuzzball with the attack of 3300.
"No!" Mikami said in shock.
"Kuriboh! Attack and destroy his Blue Eyes Toon Dragon!" Kyu announced, pointing at the dragon with his hand. The Kuriboh gave out a short cheer and leapt forward, bashing into the dragon, creating a fire wave.
The fire wave hit Mikami, making him fall backwards. Mikami growled as his life points reduced to 0. "How could I lose?!" Mikami said in shock.
Suddenly security guards came, seeing the giant fire wave caught their attention. Mikami smiled evilly at the appearence of the guards. "There he is! He stole the deck!" Mikami yelled, pointing at Kyu.
"What?! No I didn't!" Kyu yelled.
The guards ran down the hill, grabbing Kyu's arm. "Let him go!" Kaiba said, walking to the guards. "He is not the thief!"
The guards released Kyu. "He is the one who stole Crawford's deck, make sure he does not leave this area!" Kaiba shouted, pointing at Mikami.
Mikami saw that he was surrounded. He back up to the edge of the high docks. "You might as well go quietly! You're surrounded!" Kyu said.
"No! No! No!" Mikami yelled. "I was suppose to win!"
"You didn't win fairly! You stole something that wasn't yours and used it as if it were your own source!" Hide said.
Mikami smiled, ditching his Duel Disk and falling backwards into the ocean water. Kyu and Hide gasped, but then heard a motor. Mikami had fallen into a boat and went off into the ocean.
The guards quickly grabbed the duel disk, taking out the deck and heading back. Kaiba also left. Kyu sighed, falling to the ground on his butt. "Wow, I'm glad that's over." Kyu said, sighing with relief.
"Yeah, glad Master Kaiba was there to save you." Hide laughed. "Come on! We got to tell Yukie everything!"
The class bell rang, meaning class was over. Hide and Kyu arrived to Mr. Fujiyoshi's class where they got a long lecture about how they shouldn't have ditched class, and told them how it was important to let matters happen in the hands of Master Kaiba.
"But!" Kyu said, trying to tell him that it was Mikami who took the deck and wanted him in the first place.
"Don't give me that!" Mr. Fujiyoshi said. "Here are your assignments, be sure to finish them by Thursday."
Mr. Fujiyoshi handed them a small stack of papers. Both Hide and Kyu groaned. They walked back out where Yukie sat against the wall, waiting for them.
"So how did it go?" She asked.
"We got the lecture." Kyu groaned.
"And lots of homework." Hide groaned also.
"Well that's ok, it was easy." Yukie smiled.
"It always seems to be easy to you." Kyu said, sticking his tongue out.
Yukie laughed. "Don't worry, I'll help you. let's go grab some dinner." She said as the two boys stuffed their homework into their backpacks.
Hide and Kyu ate quickly, having to had a action packed day made them hungry. Yukie felt weird, seeing them eat like pigs.
Kyu and Hide quickly ran off to get seconds. Suddenly Sophia and Genesis approached Yukie. "Hey Yukie, what's up?" Sophia said, sitting beside her. Genesis sat in front of Yukie.
"Nothing, just chilling." Yukie cheerfully said.
"Hey, we're having a small study session at the bath house, maybe you'd like to come with us, just some girl fun you know?" Genesis said.
"Sure thing! I have a test I need to be studying for." Yukie said.
"Good! We'd like to hear some interesting stuff about you and your origin! Meet us at the bath house at 6 and let's just chat and study!" Genesis said.
"I'll be there!" Yukie said.
Sophia and Genesis smiled and left to Quartz's table. "Mission 1 accomplished." Sophia giggled.
Kyu and Hide walked down the Obelisk Blue hall toward there room. Kyu unlocked the door and both went inside. "Gah! I'm so full!" Kyu said, laying down on his bed.
"What's this?" Hide said, looking at a note on the desk.
Went to the bath house for a study session, be back at 7!
-Yukie
"Looks like Yukie discovered the bath house." Hide chuckled.
"Awesome, I just want to sleep now." Kyu said, taking a snooze.
Yukie, with her towel covering her body slowly entered the giant bath room, slipping into the water and sitting next to Sophia and Genesis. Genesis soaked her hair and wrapped it up in a towel.
"So, tell us where your from!" Sophia said.
"Well I was born in Florida, raised in the city, and just learned duel monsters, that's about it." Yukie chuckled.
"Oh come on! Tell us about your family!" Genesis said, patting her on the shoulder.
"Well, I live with just my father. He owns a Rare Card Shop. He owns all kinds of rare cards." Yukie said, kind of stern about what she was revealing. "But I basically came here to get away from the city and learn more about Duel Monsters and get into some duels."
"So what do you think of Kyu-Haru?" Sophia asked.
Yukie felt like she was being interrogated. She didn't know why Sophia and Genesis seemed to be so interested in her, probably because they haven't met any other girl in a while.
"Well he's ok. He's a great duelist, I wish I was like him!" Yukie said.
"What? You're not even mad one bit because he beat you on your first day?" Genesis said, shocked.
"No! Why should I? I mean, it was just a fun duel." Yukie said.
"She doesn't know!" Genesis whispered to Sophia, purposely letting Yukie hear her.
"What don't I know?" Yukie asked innocently.
"Well usually when we get new students, the high ranked duelist usually duels them, to see how weak they are." Sophia explained. "It's like a hazing act, but you didn't seem to get teased about it. People like you, but Kyu just wanted to make you look like a fool."
"Kyu would never want to do that! He's a nice boy, he likes dueling people! He even told me he wanted to see what kind of deck I had!" Yukie said, standing up.
"Yukie, sit down!" Genesis urged.
Yukie sat back down. "I don't see why anyone would want me to look like a fool." Yukie said.
"Your a new student, don't worry, will make sure no one picks on you. Just stick with us and you'll be fine." Sophia said. "It's just that Kyu is a hassle with us."
"So... He really wanted to duel me out of rank, not friendship?" Yukie asked.
"Yes, disgusting people like him always do that. It's because they think they're so strong." Genesis said.
Yukie held her head. "I can't think! Are you guys telling the truth, or is Kyu really a good kid..." Yukie said.
"Be right back, I need to go take a break." Sophia said, getting up and walking into the locker rooms.
Sophia walked along the lockers, looking at the name tags. "Ishikawa, Ishikawa... Ishikawa!" Sophia said, finding Yukie's locker, and prying it open. She searched her pockets, finding her deck. "Ok Yukie, if you can't believe us, then I'll make you."
Sophia took Yukie's Guardian Grarl, walking over to her own locker and slipping it in her pocket. Meanwhile, Genesis and Yukie were studying.
"Sorry I took so long, there was a line." Sophia said. "Well it's about almost seven, we should head back. Yukie, would you like to bunk with us for the night?"
"Sure!" Yukie said cheerfully.
"Cool! It'll be like a sleep over we use to have when I was younger!" Genesis said as they got out of the bath and dressed up.
The three girls laughed along, telling each other funny stories as they arrived to their rooms. It had turned 9 and by that time, everyone was asleep.
"Hold on, girls, I forgot my book bag!" Sophia said, running off back toward the hall way. She checked to see Genesis and Yukie disappear to their room.
Sophia lingered into the boy's hall, finding Kyu and Hide's room. She picked the lock with a hair pin, seeing that Kyu and Hide were fast asleep in their beds.
Sophia snuck in, finding Kyu's messy deck on the desk. She laughed inside her mind, slipping Yukie's Guardian Grarl on top of the messy cards and went out.
Sophia left the room, closing the door behind her and headed back toward the girl's hall. "Mission 2 complete, now I can just sit back and watch the action." She said to herself, walking into her room to see Genesis and Yukie dressed in their night gowns.
