12. Mind Battle: Defeat The Reincarnation Deck!
"Agh! I can't get this fire to get working!" Hide complained, scraping flint across another rock.
"Try using this." Doxx said, tossing a lighter.
"When are we going to start to duel?" Kyu said, leaning on a tree and looking beyond the forest. A helicopter hadn't been heard in a while, probably meaning people were taking their time, settling down in their areas.
"Why don't you two go on and find people." Doxx suggested. "People need their silence."
Doxx went inside his tent and sat in the middle. He hummed to himself. "Has he gone crazy?" Kyu said.
"It's a good idea, relaxing your mind during a hard situation." Hide said, standing up as the fire burned.
"How can you relax with all this energy flying about?" Kyu said. "I gotta find someone to duel!"
Kyu ran off into the woods. "Kyu wait!" Hide said, running after him.
"Hurry up Ryou! I can almost smell the duels happening!" Kyu said, running into an opening. A duelist stood in the middle of the dirt opening, he turned around, facing Kyu, his devious smile giving Kyu a strange bad feeling.
"Your over with!" Sophia announced, pointing at a young Osiris Red Student. " Valkyrie Brunhilde, attack the remainder of his life points!"
The valkyrie attacked the student with her sword. The boy hollered in pain, falling to his knee. "No I couldn't have lost!" The boy said as a net captured him, pulling him up into a helicopter.
"Hmph, piece of cake." Sophia said, snapping her fingers.
"That was great, he didn't even touch you!" Yukie said, amazed by Sophia's performance.
"It's what you gain when the people you trust egg you on to win." Sophia said, winking.
"I wonder where Kyu is..." Yukie thought. "I would like to crush him so much..."
"Hello, young Obelisk Blue student..." The duelist said with a simple smile. "You seem to want a duel..."
"Who is this guy?" Kyu asked Hide.
"Beats me..." Hide whispered.
"I'm... Just a simple duelist, like yourself. The name's Miyabe." Miyabe said, holding out a hand.
Kyu warmly shook his hand. "What dormitory are you in?" Kyu asked, curious.
"Eh, just there..." Miyabe simply replied. "Let's get this duel started!"
Miyabe wore a long gray trench coat which was buttoned down to his waist where he let the coat flow with in the wind. His sharp black hair also flew in the wind.
He pushed his sleeves and took out his duel disk from his coat pocket, slipping it onto his wrist. It automatically folded out and he slid his deck in.
"Duel!" Miyabe and Kyu both announced.
"My turn, draw..." Miyabe announced, calmly drawing his first card. "I'll summon a monster in defense mode. Also, I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
"Draw!" Kyu announced, drawing his card. "Go, Ruby Dragon! (1600/1200) And attack his defense monster!"
"Reveal monster... Chaos Gil Gars..." Miyabe calmly said as the giant warrior revealed himself.
"Chaos Gil Gars? Hide, ever heard of it?" Kyu asked, Hide shook his head. Kyu faced Miyabe, noticing something wrong. "That monster is a level seven, you would have needed two sacrifices."
"I've drawn this card on the beginning of the duel and it's effect allows me to play it." Miyabe said calmly.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn..." Kyu announced.
"Draw..." Miyabe announced, taking his next card. "Reveal magic card, Raise Dead! Which I use to revive Chaos Gil Gars! (1400/1400 500)"
"A bonus five hundred?" Kyu suddenly said.
"Yes, each and every time Chaos Gil Gars is revived, it's attack points increase, and the more he is revived, the more stronger he becomes." Miyabe explained.
"Woah... It's the perfect monster..." Kyu said, in shock.
"Chaos Gil Gars! Attack!" Miyabe announced, pointing his hand forward. The warrior jumped up, unleashing it's long blades on it's arms and slashing the dragon into pieces.
"Ack..." Kyu said, shielding his head with his arms as the debris flew at him, reducing his life points to 3700. "Who are you?"
"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn..." Miyabe announced.
"He seems to ignore my answer, I'll move on... Kyu thought.
"Kyu was foolish to be so open to this guy..." Hide thought. "We don't know anything about him..."
Kyu smiled at his hand. "Activate magic card, Raise Dead!" Kyu announced. "I'll use it to bring back Ruby Dragon! (1600/1200)."
The dragon reappeared back, it's red skin shining in the sun. "Now! I sacrifice Ruby Dragon so I can summon this, Android Psycho Shocker! (2400/1500)" Kyu announced. The android rose from the ground as the dragon dissolved. "This stops all of your trap cards from activating!"
"This is good, Miyabe won't be able to use anything to defend himself now." Hide smiled, happy for Kyu's lead.
"Now! Android Psycho Shocker, attack and destroy his Chaos Gil Gars!" Kyu announced, pointing at the warrior. The android held his hands together, creating a ball of black energy and firing at the warrior. The warrior screamed as it exploded into pieces, reducing Miyabe's life points to 3500.
"My turn ends now!" Kyu announced.
Miyabe smiled, happily drawing his next card. His face turned to a sudden determined look. "Reverse magic card, Reincarnation of Sword Master!" Miyabe announced. "By removing a warrior monster from my hand, I can bring back another warrior from my graveyard."
""The onyl monster in your graveyard is Chaos Gil Gars..." Kyu said, a bit nervous now.
"That's right..." Miyabe smiled, taking a monster card from his hand and slipping it into his pocket. "Return, Chaos Gil Gars! (1900/1400 500)"
"Not again, this time is equal with my Android Psycho Shocker..." Kyu gasped, watching as Chaos Gil Gar's attack power rise to 2400.
"Attack his Android Psycho Shocker!" Miyabe announced. The warrior leapt forward to the android. The android leapt forward also and with their equal attack they destroyed each other. "Reverse trap card, Call of The Haunted..."
"No!" Hide gasped.
"And it comes back again..." Kyu said, impressed by Miyabe's dueling strategies.
"My Chaos Gil Gars returns, even stronger." Miyabe said as the warrior appeared back on the field, it's attack points at 2900. "Attack his life points directly!"
The warrior leapt forward, slashing at Kyu with it's arm blades. Kyu hollered, falling backwards as his life points reduced to 800.
"Kyu! His monster has a weakness, the Chaos Gil Gars will stay on the field as long as his trap card exists on the field, if you find a way to destroy, you can easily get into his life points!" Hide shouted.
"Of course, but he has two cards in his hands, probably one of them can be used to bring back his monster again, powering it up more..." Kyu said, standing up and rubbing the back of his head. "I can't lose or I won't be able to win this tournament."
"My turn ends..." Miyabe announced, pointing his hand to the ground.
"My turn... Draw!" Kyu said, his hand shaking nervously as he drew. Kyu sighed with relief, then smiled with anticipation. "Now! I activate this, Cyclone! This will allow me to destroy your Call of The Haunted, and it'll take Chaos Gil Gars back to your graveyard!"
Miyabe smiled, seeming to be proud of Kyu. Miyabe's trap card exploded and Chaos Gil Gars vanished. "Next, I'll summon this monster, X Head Cannon! (1800/1500)"
"Yes! Kyu will soon get the lead..." Hide smiled as the machine materialized to the field.
"I'll then activate this magic card, Frontline Base! This magic card allows me to special summon a union type monster from my hand during each of my Main Phases, so now! I bring forth Z Metal Caterpillar! (1500/1600)"
"Now! X Head Cannon, Z Metal Caterpillar attack his life points directly!" Kyu announced, pointing.
Both machines launched themselves toward Miyabe. The both passed him swiftly and Miyabe showed no sign of pain as they attacked him head on. Miyabe's life points reduced to 200.
"Now! X Head Cannon, Z Metal Caterpillar, combine!" Kyu announced as the two machines flew into the air, joining together. "Go! XZ Caterpillar Cannon! (2400/2100) I'll then set a card face down and end my turn!"
Kyu had an empty hand, but was sure enough that his plan would work. Miyabe, on the other hand simply smiled and drew his next card.
"He took a big risk to take out my Chaos Gil Gars again..." Miyabe said in his mind. "He has courage..."
Miyabe stood there, looking at his card. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
"He's wide open now..." Kyu said, shocked and confused to why Miyabe took a bail.
"Miyabe has a reincarnation deck, probably every other card is for reviving his only monster... Did he run out or is he delaying himself?" Hide wondered. "His face down card... what could it be?"
"Activate magic card, De-Fusion!" Kyu announced. "With this, XZ Caterpillar cannon returns to normal!"
Suddenly the one machine now became two, X Head Cannon (1800/1500), and Z Metal Caterpillar (1500/1300). "I'll then activate this, Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two cards!" Kyu said, swiftly drawing his two cards. Kyu smiled, looking down at Y Dragon Head and a Kuriboh.
"Yes! Kyu looks like he's got it..." Hide smiled.
"Now! I summon this, Y Dragon Head! (1500/1600)" Kyu announced as the red metal dragon materialized to the field. "Now! X, Y, and Z monsters! Combine into one!"
All three machines flew into the air, beginning their combination. The three connected and joined together, forming one giant machine. "XYZ Dragon Cannon! (2800/2600)"
Kyu looked down at his last card. "Kuriboh, you must have known I needed an extra card..." He said happily down at the card.
"He shows great appreciation toward his monsters..." Miyabe smiled. "Good, Kyu-Haru."
"Now! I discard a card from my hand to activate XYZ Dragon Cannon's ability which to destroy your face down card!" Kyu said, pointing as Miyabe's trap card dissolved, disappearing. "Now! Attack his life points directly, XYZ Dragon Cannon!"
The machine pointed it's cannons toward Miyabe, firing a round of missiles toward him. Miyabe covered his eyes with one hand as the blasts ignited light all around them. Miyabe smiled as his life points reached 0.
"Oh yeah! My first win in the Battle Royale Competition! I'm just one step ahead!" Kyu said, throwing a fist in the air.
"Good job, Kyu..." Miyabe said, stepping away and disappearing. Kyu and Hide were to excited to become aware of Miyabe walking away on them.
"What happened to Miyabe?" Hide wondered.
"He probably went off some place so a helicopter could take him solemnly." Kyu said. "He was a great duelist, too bad we couldn't get to know him much. Maybe we'll see him back at the school when the competition is over."
"He seemed sort of strange... Especially on his last turn..." Hide said.
"He probably didn't expect me to destroy his final card before he activated it!" Kyu said, making an excuse for Miyabe's sudden turn of his tides. "But still... I'm worried for Yukie... I want to see her, make things clear for her."
