25. Trashing of a God
"God of Obelisk, God of Osiris, and Divine Dragon of Ra, all three gods were have said to cause great destruction with their power. But sealed away in there..." Mr. Nakagawa went one, showing slides of the ancient artifact of the three gods.
"The gods... Must have been powerful." Kyu thought.
"This is your luck, students. The God Cards will be displayed in the Artifact Center. Go check it out." Mr. Nakagawa said.
Everyone gasped and started whispering to each other. "No way" Hide said out loud. "The ancient God Cards were sealed away years ago"
"Hide, sit down. Don't be obnoxious." Mr. Nakagawa said.
"Hasn't anyone heard that the greatest duelist, Yugi Mutou, sealed them away several year ago" Hide asked, looking around. No one moved, just stared at Hide.
"I have" Kyu said, obviously lying.
"Sit down Kyu-Haru. Ryou Hide, take a step outside if you don't mind." Mr. Nakagawa said, upset by Hide's sudden burst of reasoning.
Soon class was over. Kyu left and Hide sat at the wall, looking bummed. "What was that all about" Kyu asked as everyone left, glaring at Hide.
"How can they be displaying the god cards when they were sealed away..." Hide said.
"Maybe they found them again. There wouldn't be any harm in just seeing them." Kyu said as Hide stood up.
"Good idea." Hide said.
"So Kagura was behind this all." Doxx said.
"Yup, you should have seen it, Hide destroyed him" Yukie said excitedly.
"There was also Mikami too. Kagura got away with Mikami." Hide said.
"Kagura and Mikami? I didn't think they would return like that just for your deck. They've had a history of trouble." Doxx said.
"Really? What did they do" Kyu asked.
"Mikami and Kagura and delinquents of the school. A lot more in Ra Yellow too. Many people get upset they didn't make it to Obelisk Blue, so they find more power, eventually running into the Rare Hunters. Once you join them, you never escape their grasp." Doxx explained.
"So they're apart of the Rare Hunters" Hide said, Doxx nodded.
"Weird, how did they get accepted" Kyu asked.
"Puppy act, they explain that their relatives want to be as a better duelist as them, make up lies and eventually get in." Doxx said. "I don't see why the teachers can't be a little more suggestive of the students even when they know their past."
Suddenly Doxx's PDA rang. "Crap almost late for my study session, see you guys around." Doxx said, waving as he left the lounge area.
"Why would Kagura and Mikami only target me when there's other stronger duelist here" Kyu wondered. "Anyways, let's go see those god cards."
The three headed down the hall to the Artifact Corner where a crowd was standing around the center piece. A glass box with three glass casings. With in the glass casings, were God of Obelisk, God of Osiris, and Divine Dragon of Ra.
"Those are fake." Hide said.
Suddenly people around glared at Hide. "What do you think you're talking about" A Osiris Red student said.
"These are the real thing! Why would the school lie to us" A female Ra Yellow student said.
"Take them out! Show me the real thing then" Hide said to a security guard, who answered with a quick no.
"I'm sorry to say, Hide, but they look pretty real to me." Kyu said.
"Are you with me or against me, Kyu-Haru" Hide said.
"Hey! There's a duel over there" A person pointed. There was a Obelisk Blue student battling a Ra Yellow student.
"Whose that" Kyu asked, pointing at the smirking Obelisk Blue student. The Ra Yellow student was sweating, feeling out numbered as a bunch of slime monsters invaded his field.
"That there is Devoke, a duelist who strategizes with slime type monsters." A Ra Yellow student whispered to Kyu.
"Devoke..." Kyu thought.
"Revival Slime! Destroy all his life points" Devoke announced, pointing at his Ra Yellow opponent. The little water-like creature dove forward, crashing into the student, sending him down with his life points reducing to 0.
"Man..." The Ra Yellow student said as his colleagues helped him up and out.
"Wow, that was awesome." Hide said.
Devoke smirked. "Of course it was, all my duels are always amazing." He boasted, throwing back his hair. "You might learn a lesson or two."
"I like his attitude." Doxx said sarcastically.
"Jealous" Devoke chuckled, walking off.
Hide glanced at the security cameras around the corners of the room. Kyu came, patting him on the shoulder. "What's up" Kyu asked.
"I have an idea! During curfew, I'm coming back to see if these cards are real." Hide said.
"What are you crazy? I mean there'll be light punishment for being out late but taking the God Cards! You must be kidding me" Kyu said.
"Those aren't the god cards..." Hide said, whispering.
Kyu shrugged. "Ok... But I'm coming with you." He said.
After dark, Hide packed his bag, making sure to bring his Duel Disk. Kyu hopped out of bed without waking Yukie. They both crept out. It was quiet and more different from when they usually walked down the hallway during the day.
They reached the artifact center and Hide pushed opened the doors. Before they came in more, Hide stopped at a control panel. He looked at it strangely. "Weird, the systems have already been shut off..." He whispered.
"Why would they do that" Kyu said, confused.
Suddenly there was a loud crash. A person with a scarf covering their face was standing in front of the podium with the god cards. He took a glass casing.
"Hey stop" Kyu said. The person saw Hide and Kyu and bolted, two gods cards were left and the thief had just gotten one.
The student escaped through a broken window and toward the beach. Hide and Kyu ran after him. There was a large cliff and the thief was cornered.
"Reveal yourself, thief" Hide said, pointing.
"Now why would the high ranking duelist, Kyu-Haru, be here in the middle of the night? Here to ruin your reputation" The thief smirked, throwing off his scarf.
"Devoke... Of course." Hide growled.
"Yes. Our reputations certainly meet, Kyu-Haru. I've been wanting to challenge you to a duel." devoke laughed. He held up the god card he had stolen, broke the glass casing with a rock, not revealing the card, he slid it to the top of his deck in his Duel Disk.
"Fine if you want to duel then I'll accept" Kyu said. "But if I win, you have to return the card you stole"
"And if I win, you fetch me the two remaining god cards. I'll then be on my way." Devoke smiled.
"Very well." Kyu said as Hide tossed him his duel disk. Kyu slid his deck into the deck holster, causing his duel disk to fold out.
"Duel" Kyu and Devoke announced, both their life points rising to 4000.
Devoke drew his first round of cards. "You never shuffled your deck, that means you just got the god card..." Kyu growled.
"How else can I defeat you if everyone claims to be the best." Devoke smiled. "Are you too afraid that you'll lose"
"I'm never afraid." Kyu growled.
"Now then, I'll begin. I summon Revival Slime in defense mode! (500/1500)" Devoke announced as a liquid creature formed onto the field. "I'll also activate this magic card, Slime Breeding Machine"
"What's that" Kyu said as a small machine rose up from the ground. It looked like something was trying to escape within the machine.
"This magic card allows me to special summon a Slime Token during each of my standby phases, they may be weak, but they're what I need to summon my great god card. It takes three normal sacrifices to summon a god, that's what I expect to have." Devoke explained, laughing sinisterly. "I'll then place two cards face down and end my turn."
"My turn, draw" Kyu announced. "I'll activate this magic card, Frontline Base! With this magic card, I'll be able to special summon a union monster during my Main Phase."
"Smart thinking." Devoke smiled.
"Next, I'll summon this, X Head Cannon! (1800/1500)" Kyu announced as the machine materialized to the field. "Attack and destroy his Revival Slime"
"Kyu wait" Hide called out as the machine dove forward, punching through the slime. The slime split into many blobs of liquid.
"And your slime is toast" Kyu said.
"Not so fast." Devoke smiled. Suddenly the blobs of liquid began to move, then suddenly they formed back together into Revival Slime.
"What the..." Kyu said.
"Ever wonder why it's called Revival Slime? Well maybe because it can never be destroyed." Devoke laughed. "You wasted your time."
Kyu growled. "I'll end my turn."
"Draw" Devoke announced, drawing his card. "Now! I bring forth Slime Token! (500/500)"
Suddenly the machine began to pump it's cylinders, steam was shot out of a pipe, and an opening appeared. A small liquid blob came floating out, making a light screeching noise.
"I'll destroy your slime token before you'll be able to cheat for the god card." Kyu growled. "There's nothing that I hate than cheaters."
"Heh." Devoke simply said. "Now! I'll activate this, Fusion"
"He's going to fuse something..." Hide thought.
"I'll use it to fuse Worm Drake and Humanoid Slime into this, Humanoid Worm Drake! (2200/2000)" Devoke announced as a worm and slime creature formed together into a worm looking slime creature. "Now attack and destroy his X Head Cannon"
the worm lunged forward, thrashing the machine into pieces, reducing Kyu's life points to 3600. "I'll then end my turn." Devoke announced.
"Draw" Kyu announced, taking his next card. "Now, I'll activate Frontline Base's ability, using it to summon Faithful Sword! (400/200). Now! I sacrifice Faithful Sword to summon this, KC Catapult Cannon! (0/0)"
"Heh, you give up a monster just to summon a weaker one." Devoke said as a turtle shelled cannon rose up from the ground.
"Reveal trap card, Time Machine!" Kyu announced, ignoring Devoke's comment. "This trap card revives a monster which had been destroyed a turn earlier."
"Heh." Devoke said.
"Now return, X Head Cannon! (1800/1500)" Kyu announced as mechanical chamber rose from the ground. The door swung open and X Head Cannon burst out. "And now, I'll activate KC Catapult Cannon, using it to fuse with my X Head Cannon"
X Head Cannon launched into the sky, then fused in with the cannon. "Once X Head Cannon has been equipped to KC Catapult Cannon, i increases it's attack power by five hundred (2300/1500)"
"Next, I'll use this, Stop Defense!" Kyu announced. "Which will now shift your Revival Slime into attack position! (1500/500)"
"What is he up to..." Devoke said, scratching his chin.
"Now! X Head Cannon, attack and destroy his Humanoid Worm Drake" Kyu announced. The X Head Cannon shifted the large cannon it sat on, pointing at the slime creature and firing, easily destroying it and reducing Devoke's life points to 3900. "I should mention, the effect of KC Catapult Cannon allows me to attack again as long as you have a monster on the field, so now! Attack his Revival Slime"
The cannon fired again at the Revival Slime this time, destroying it and reducing Devoke's life points to 3100. Devoke growled, figuring out his plan as his Revival Slime returned to itself again, back in attack mode.
"And as long as I keep attacking, you'll soon lose the duel, X Head Cannon, attack again" Kyu announced.
"No so fast." Devoke growled with anger. "I'll activate my face down card, Attack Nullification"
"No..." Kyu gasped as a vortex appeared, absorbing the cannon's sphere blast.
"And that ends your battle phase." Devoke smiled.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Kyu announced. Kyu saw the one card Devoke had, knowing it was the god card he had stolen. He had extensive studying on the gods with Hide and Doxx, knowing their strength, but what bothered him was what card he had taken.
"Draw..." Devoke announced, drawing his card. "And now! My Slime Breeding Machine will produce yet another Slime Token! (500/500)"
"You have three monsters, why not sacrifice them already to summon your god." Kyu questioned, as the machine popped up another little slime creature.
"Because, I like to see you suffer before I bring on your destruction." Devoke said, pointing his finger. "I'll finally set a card face down, shift Revival Slime to defense mode (500/1500), and end my turn."
"Draw." Kyu announced, drawing his card. "I'll summon Seraphim Guardner in defense mode (2000/1000)."
"Kyu needs to prepare for the god if Devoke manages to summon it, I have a feeling it might be the most powerful one..." Hide thought.
"Now" Kyu announced, pointing at Devoke. "X Head Cannon, attack and destroy his Slime Token"
"Heh, I've been waiting for this, activate trap card, Slime Defender" Devoke announced as his trap card flipped up. Suddenly as the cannon blasted it's sphere blast, Revival Slime dove up in front of the blast, taking it and destroying itself, then regenerating again.
"Slime Defender is a trap which allows my Revival Slime to take any attacks you throw at me." Devoke laughed.
"No... Now he'll be able to summon his god..." Kyu growled. "I'll set two cards face down and end my turn."
Devoke drew his next card. "Now my third Slime Token arise" He shouted as the third slime creature formed. "Now, I will get to experience the true power of a real god"
Thunder broke out in the skies and lightning struck the water at the beach as dark clouds came into the night sky. "I sacrifice all three of my Slime Tokens" Devoke yelled, veins popping in his neck, his expression turning evil with insanity. "Now arise! God of Obelisk"
"Obelisk..." Kyu said as the giant blue warrior god rose from the ground in a giant cylinder of light rushing into the sky.
"With the attack and defense strength of four thousand, there is no reason for you to be here any more, I rule all duelist" Devoke laughed, clenching his fists.
"But... How... Are those god cards actually real" Hide said, shocked and amazed.
"Look! It's a god" A Osiris Red student pointed out from the library. Doxx stood up, gasping as the whole night lit up by the god.
"Who has done this" Doxx thought.
Yukie was awoken by the light also, she sat up, shielding her face, seeing Obelisk stand with might.
"Oh my gosh! Look at that" Sophia squealed, pointing from the bath area. Genesis saw and her mouth dropped open.
"This is it, I can't lose now..." Kyu growled, feeling the gods power against him.
