26. Thrashing of a God
The god rose as Kyu and Hide looked up at it, shocked as it roared throughout the island.
"Kyu-Haru.. Meet your match." Devoke laughed. Devoke's life points stood at 3100 while Kyu's at 3600.
"God of Obelisk (4000/4000) attack and destroy his X Head Cannon" Devoke announced, pointing at Kyu's machine which was attached to his KC Catapult Cannon.
The god rose it's giant fist. A gust of wind blew as it thrusted it down, creating a large explosion as it crushed the machine.
"No..." Kyu growled, shielding himself with his arm as the wind blew at him, reducing his life points to 1900.
Suddenly the X Head Cannon returned to the field. "KC Catapult Cannon automatically brings back my X Head Cannon when attacked." Kyu explained.
Devoke chuckled, having no cards in his hand, he ended his turn. "Draw..." Kyu announced, taking the second card of his hand. "I'll set a card face down. Now, I'll activate this magic card, Treasure of Heaven! forcing us both to draw until we each have six cards in our hands."
Devoke smiled. "You are only helping me in my victory." He smirked, drawing six full cards.
"We'll see." Kyu said, drawing his five. "Activate magic card, Emergency Provisions! This magic card allows me to sacrifice a face down card I had placed, giving me one thousand extra life points"
Kyu's magic card began to glow and his face down card exploded, then his life points rose to 2900. "Next, I'll activate this, Bond of Brothers! By sacrificing one thousand life points (LP: 1900) I can summon two monsters of the same level. So now! I bring forth Y Dragon Head (1500/1600) and Z Metal Caterpillar! (1500/1300) And now! X, Y, and Z monsters, combine"
The three machines launched into the air. Devoke faked a yawn. "Seen it before. The same moves and the same monsters, when will you ever try anything new." He snickered.
The machines combined into one, landing hard onto the ground. "XYZ Dragon Cannon! (2800/2600)" Kyu announced as the cannons popped out of the machine. "Next, I'll summon this, Seraphim Gunner! (1800/1200)"
"Hm..." Devoke said as an angel materialized to the field, it's wings expanding out and revealing a shot gun under it's white robe.
"With Seraphim Gunner on the field, my Seraphim Guardner gains three hundred defense points (2300/1000). Also, because of my Seraphim Guardner, Seraphim Gunner gains three hundred attack points too (2300/1200)" Kyu explained. "And now! I'll reveal the effects of the trap card which I used Emergency Provisions on! Oblivious Mistake"
"What" Devoke said.
"When I used Emergency Provisions, I sacrificed a trap card, a trap card known as Oblivious Mistake, with that trap card sent to my graveyard, I'm allowed to summon another monster from my hand." Kyu explained, holding the last card in his hand. "Now! I bring forth Seraphim Sabre! (1600/1500)"
"Another one..." Devoke said, annoyed as another angel appeared, it's wings spreading and unsheathing his long sword.
"Seraphim Sabre's effect is like Seraphim Gunner's, and because of that and Seraphim Guardner, Seraphim Sabre gains an additional six hundred attack points (2200/1500)" Kyu explained. "Also, Seraphim Guardner's defense increases (2600/1000) and Seraphim Gunner's attack increases (2600/1200)"
"You summon these monsters, but they are nothing compared to my god card." Devoke laughed.
"Yours, the last time I saw, you stole it." Kyu growled. "My turn ends."
"He left all his monsters in attack mode..." Hide said, confused.
"Draw..." Devoke announced, drawing his seventh card. "Now! Slime Breeding Machine, create a Slime Token for me! (500/500)"
Suddenly the machine unleashed a fourth Slime Token, making three monsters on Devoke's field against Kyu's five monsters.
"Your favorite monster, XYZ Dragon Cannon, it must be so sad to you when it's destroyed, well I've been waiting to see your emotions as your favorite monster is destroyed! Obelisk, destroy his XYZ Dragon Cannon" Devoke shouted with insanity, pointing his finger at Kyu.
The god rose it's tremendous fist, then thrusted it down on the machine, crushing it like a small toy car. Kyu shielded himself from a giant wind as his monster was destroyed, reducing his life points to 700.
Kyu's face stayed the same. Devoke growled. "Why have you not realized the destruction of your favorite monster..." He asked with anger.
"I've seen my favorite monster get destroyed many times, I just have to give things up and move on." Kyu said, smiling. "All apart of my plan."
"Plan" Devoke said.
"Yes, Kyu meant to have summoned his great monster in attack mode so Devoke could take his bait." Hide realized.
"Fine then, I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Devoke announced.
"Draw" Kyu announced. "And now, I'll activate this magic card, Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two extra cards"
Kyu swiftly drew his two cards, his face watching Devoke. "Next, I'll use this, Fusion! Activate" Kyu announced as his magic card flipped up.
"What" Devoke said, shocked as his eye twitched.
"I'll use it to fuse Seraphim Sabre and Seraphim Gunner" Kyu announced as the two angels were suddenly absorbed into the magic card. The magic card then formed into a tall angel warrior, it held a large cannon with many holes where bullets were fired. "To create Seraphim Rampart Gunner! (2600/1300)"
"What does that do" Devoke asked.
"By sacrificing a my Seraphim Guardner, it'll attack your life points directly" Kyu said, pointing his finger at Devoke. Devoke gasped in shock as Kyu was only holding the inevitable. Kyu's angel dissolved away and Seraphim Rampart Gunner stood in it's stance. "Seraphim Rampart Gunner, attack his life points directly"
"Yeah go Kyu" Hide cheered.
The angel released a round of bullets at Devoke. The bullets by passed Revival Slime and Slime Token, hitting Devoke on the spot. Devoke screamed in pain as he fell to his knees, reducing his life points to 500.
"To end my turn, I'll set a card face down." Kyu said, emptying his hand.
"Draw" Devoke growled, drawing his seventh card. "Now, Slime Breeding Machine, produce another Slime Token! (500/500)"
Devoke's fifth slime creature formed, making two on his field. "I'll then activate this, Token Harvest Festival! With this, I can sacrifice my two Slime Tokens to gain eight hundred life points for each token" He explained as the two creatures vanished, his life points raising to 2100. "Next I'll activate my own Emergency Provisions! Allowing me to sacrifice my Slime Breeding Machine to increase my life points further"
Devoke cackled evilly as his machine dissolved away, and his life points increasing to 3100. "Next, I'll activate this, Cost Down! By discarding a card from my hand, I can reduce all level of monsters in my hand by two levels. So now I'll summon this level three monster which was previously a level five monster, Magic Canceller! (1800/1600)"
"Magic Canceller" Kyu said as the floating machine with five mechanical tentacles like a sea creature formed on the field.
"With this machine on the field, no magic cards can be activated." Devoke smiled. "I'll then set my last card face down and move to my Battle Phase."
Devoke snickered as his god powered up. "This is so gracious, finally being able to beat one no one has. Violet was only lucky, seeing as how her rank scores way higher than yours. I will soon be number one."
"Duelist like you don't become number one by stealing cards, they earn respect from their peers" Kyu shouted.
"We'll find out as soon as my god card defeats you" Devoke said, pointing at Kyu. "Obelisk, destroy his Seraphim Rampart Gunner"
"I can't lose now." Kyu said to himself. "Reveal trap card, Magic Arm Shield"
"Are you kidding me, traps are ineffective to my great god." Devoke smirked.
"That's true, but I'm using my trap against your Magic Canceller" Kyu said, pointing at a long arm appeared, grabbing the robot. Meanwhile, the god had thrusted it's mighty hand toward Seraphim Rampart Gunner, but the arm moved the machine in front of the gunner.
The god destroyed Devoke's own monster, reducing his life points to 900. "No, all that work I put in to getting my life points higher than yours..." Devoke growled as if he took a step forward and three steps back.
"It's strange how Kyu is doing well in this duel... Trap cards don't work against a god, but effect monsters and magic cards last one turn for a god. Kyu is handling this like a pro." Hide thought. "If I were in his shoes, I would be so pretrified."
"I'll set my last card face down and end my turn." Devoke announced with anger.
"I need just one monster to finish this duel..." Kyu said, watching his deck. "That was my last round for hope. I may not be able to destroy his god, but I will get around to depleting all his life points..."
Kyu quickly drew and glanced at his card, smiling for victory. "Now! I summon this, Kuriboh! (300/200)"
Suddenly Devoke burst out laughing. "You think that weak creature can help you defeat my god card" Devoke said.
"I don't plan to defeat your god, only you." Kyu said, pointing. "Once I reveal my face down card, this duel will soon be over! Now atcivate face down magic, Holy Grail"
"Holy Grail" Devoke said as his magic card flipped up.
"This magic card equips to my Kuriboh..." Kyu said as a magical grail appeared. Kuriboh grasped it with on claw and suddenly a halo appeared over it's head and angel-like wings sprouted out of it's back. "And increases my Kuriboh's attack power by four hundred (700/200). But that's not all, it also transforms it into an angel"
"So..." Devoke said, oblivious to Kyu's plan.
"Angel's are one of heaven's warriors, warriors of the light side of the universe." Kyu said. "Kuriboh is now a light monster! Now! I sacrifice Kuriboh to my Seraphim Rampart Gunner"
"No" Devoke spoke out, finally realizing Kyu's plan.
Kuriboh suddenly dissolved, winking at Devoke as Seraphim Rampart Gunner held up it's giant gun. "Seraphim Rampart Gunner, attack his life points directly" Kyu said, pointing as the angel let loose a round of bullets at Devoke.
Devoke screamed in pain as he flew backwards, a wide shock appearing through his face as his life points reduced to 0.
"No! No! No! Obelisk! Stay with me" Devoke called out, reaching for the god as it disappeared into the night.
"Now return the god card" Kyu said.
"Never" Devoke shouted, running off, but then crashing into Doxx and falling over. A pair of security guards came and took him off.
"Doxx" Hide and Kyu said, surprised.
"How did you know we were here" Hide asked.
"Well it's not to hard to see a hundred foot duel monster appear out of the blue." Doxx smiled. "When Is aw it, I knew someone had broken into Artifact Center and stole the god cards."
"Well Devoke here only made it away with Obelisk, I managed to slow him down." Kyu smiled.
"Hey wait" Hide said, running over to Devoke who was being held by his arms by the two security guards. He took the God Card off of his duel disk to examine it.
"What" Kyu said, shocked to see that the card had turned pure white, nothing else was left.
"It's fake..." Doxx said. Doxx's reaction was very surprising.
"Yes, the god cards are fake." a voice suddenly said. Seto Kaiba stood in front of the three duelist as Devoke was carried away.
"You knew this all along" Kyu said.
"yes, this was only a plan. Ever since the capture of Pegasus J. Crawford's deck, I needed to trace down every thief in this school, I can't have any secret organizations going on in my school." Kaiba said.
"if the card was fake, how come it worked for the duel disk" Doxx asked.
"They did work for the duel disk, but there was a certain time limit for the card to expire, it seemed the expiration period ended right after the duel was finished between you and Devoke. You have a good sense of dueling, Kyu, I plan to see you work even harder than that." Kaiba said, he nodded and left them. "Get back to your dormitories, quick."
"Well Doxx, we'll see you tomorrow then." Hide said, bowing.
"No problem." Doxx waved as they split.
Kyu and Hide headed back to the Obelisk Dormitory, thinking. "Why does Kaiba keep insisting I try harder... Am I awaiting for some duel to come my way" Kyu said out loud.
"Probably... By the end of the school year, we'll find out." Hide said as they arrived to their room. They opened the door with Yukie standing in front of them with her blue night gown on, her arms crossed, and her foot patting the ground.
"So, you two decided to leave the night and duel a duelist with a god card and NOT EVER INVITE ME" Yukie said.
"Well we didn't want you to get in trouble" Hide said, waving his hands as Yukie chucked a pillow at them.
"Hey" Kyu said, throwing the pillow back.
"Knock it off we're trying to sleep" another pair of students yelled from the other side of the wall. Kyu, Hide, and Yukie laughed as they proceeded with their pillow fight.
