32. Bringing Back Duelist Academy
Kyu's life points stood at 3500 while Kaijou's stood at 2000. Kyu hasn't even touched Kaijou's life points, Kaijou had only sacrificed two thousand of his life points to his magic cards.
Kaijou had his Siren of Ballad (2200/300), Melody (1700/1400), and Nocturne (2400/1500) who were accompanied by his newly summoned monster, Circe (1400/1400).
Kyu had but one monster, his Seraphim Rampart Gunner (2600/1300). Both players had one set card and five cards in their hand.
"And now, Kyu-Haru, my turn ends." Kaijou said.
"Draw!" Kyu announced, drawing his card. "And now! I'll activate this, Twingle Five Star!"
"This card..." Kaijou growled.
"to activate it, I'll sacrifice my Seraphim Rampart Gunner to summon the five Kuriboh brothers! (5x 300/200)" Kyu announced as five different colored Kuriboh's appeared on the field. "Also, I see your Circe is weaker than my five kuriboh's combined."
"Your point is..." Kaijou said.
"The effect of my monsters allows me to combine them into one!" Kyu said as the five kuriboh began to fuse together, forming a giant furry creature with sharp teeth, claws, and one horn jutting out from it's forehead. "I've formed Kuribabylon! (1500/1000)"
"Hmmm..." Kaijou said, not worrying at all.
"Now! Destroy his Circe!" Kyu called out as the sorceress looked worried.
"Activate magic card..." Kaijou said, pointing to his face down card. It automatically flipped up. "Help From Hades!"
"What's that?" Kyu said.
"This magic card allows me to negate the effect of your monster and remove it from play." Kaijou said as Kyu's Kuribabylon dissolved before it could even reach Circe. "Also, the total amount of attack points which your Kuribabylon had is subtracted from my own life points (LP: 500)"
Kaijou smiled while everyone was surprised by how Kaijou was dueling. "He's only taken so much damage because he's been sacrificing his own life points to win this duel." Hide growled.
"In case you haven't noticed, when my Kuribabylon is taken from the field my twingle five star monsters return!" Kyu said as all five colorful kuriboh returned to the field. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
"Now! I'll activate Circe's special ability! By skipping my draw phase, I'll be able to take a magic card from my deck and add it to my hand." Kaijou announced as his deck holster slid out a certain card. "I'll then sacrifice Circe in order to bring forth this, Cyclops! (1500/1500)"
"Oh!" Hide, Yukie, and Doxx gasped, recognizing the one eyed giant. It was the very monster which nearly defeated Odysseus in his battle.
Kaijou smiled. "I bet you've recognized this monster, but it's power is beyond what you expect." Kaijou smiled. "Also, I'll use the magic card which I've taken from my deck, now! I activate Sacrificial Awakening!"
"And what does that do?" Kyu asked. "This magic card allows me to revive a monster which I had sacrificed for a summon. So now my Circe returns to the field! (1400/1400)"
"And now! Cyclops, attack his twingle five star!" Kaijou announced, pointing.
The cyclops charged, raising it's club above it's head. "The power of my Twingle Five Star will negate your attack!" Kyu said as one of the Kuriboh monsters formed a giant star, shielding all of the twingle five star and blocking off the Cyclops.
"That's what I expected." Kaijou smiled.
"What!" Kyu said, shocked and confused.
"The effect of my Cyclops increases it's attack power by two hundred for each of it's attacks, even if the attack is negated." Kaijou smiled as Cyclops' attack power rose to 1700. "Also, my Cyclops is allowed one extra attack during my battle phase, so! Attack once again!"
"No..." Kyu gasped as the cyclops smashed it's club into the giant star. The five creatures forced back the Cyclops back to Kaijou's side of the field, increasing it's attack power to 1900.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn now." Kaijou announced.
"Draw!" Kyu announced, drawing his third card. "Awesome, I've drawn my Kuribandit. My Twingle Five Star can't transform into Kuribabylon anymore, so I'll have to use this."
Kyu smiled at his hand and Kaijou laughed. "Nothing in your hand will help you." Kaijou said.
"You're wrong." Kyu said. "Now! I'll activate the effect of my Kuribe!"
"What?" Kaijou said as one of the Twingle Five Star began to join together.
"I can remove all my Twingle Five Star off the field so I can special summon this monster, Kuribandit! (1000/1700)" Kyu announced as the creatures formed into a black furry creature, outfitted with a eye patch and pirate's bandanna. "The effect of my Kuribandit allows me to draw five cards from my deck."
Kyu quickly drew five cards and quickly glanced at them. "But, it also forces me to discard any monsters I've drawn because of it's effect." Kyu said, sending two monsters into his graveyard.
"Hmmhmm..." Kaijou laughed.
"But that's not all, because I special summoned Kuribandit, I'll be able to sacrifice it for a monster!" Kyu said. "So now! I sacrifice Kuribandit to summon this, Inferno Man Tempest! (2500/1000)"
"You've been summoning these ultimate monsters, but how are you suppose to use their power if my Sirens keep you from attacking." Kaijou smiled as the warrior engulfed in fire rose to the field.
"I've been saving a certain trap card for this special occasion." Kyu smiled. "So now! I reveal it, activate trap card, An Invitation of Earth Spirits!"
"What?" Kaijou gasped.
"This trap card forces one of your monsters to attack my own." Kyu said. "So now! Siren of Nocturne, attack my Inferno Man Tempest!"
The siren flew forward, screeching like a annoying bird. The warrior pointed it's hand forward, firing a stream of fire at the woman, destroying her. "No..." Kaijou growled as his life points reduced to 400.
"And now! I can finally attack you!" Kyu said. "Inferno Man Tempest, destroy his Cyclops!"
"Activate trap card... Attack Nullification." Kaijou said, disappointed as Kyu gained the sudden advantage. "This trap negates your attack and forces you to end your battle phase."
Inferno Man Tempest sent a stream of fire toward the one eyed giant, but suddenly a vortex appeared, sucking down the fire and stopping the attack.
"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn." Kyu announced.
"Draw..." Kaijou announced, adding the fifth card to his hand.
"Why didn't he take advantage of Circe's effect?" Kyu wondered. "Maybe he's waiting for a monster to come forth..."
"I'll too set two cards face down, but instead I'll activate this, Emergency Provisions which allows me to sacrifice my two face down cards to increase my life points by one thousand for each card."
Kaijou laughed as his two face down cards dissolved and his life points increased to 2400. "Next, I'll shift all my monsters to defense mode and set one last card face down, ending my turn."
Suddenly Siren of Melody crouched down, shielding herself with her arm, the Cyclops kneeled down, getting into it's defense mode, and Circe covered her chest with her arms in a cross.
"Draw..." Kyu announced, drawing his card. "Now! I'll activate this, Corridor of Life!"
"And what does this do?" Kaijou asked.
"By sacrificing half of my life points (LP: 1750), I can bring back two monsters, one from my graveyard, and one that has been removed from play." Kyu said. "So now! I bring back Kuriboh in defense mode! (200/300) And my next monster will be Android Psycho Shocker! (2400/1500)"
"No..." Kaijou growled.
The furry creature was summoned to the field, but the Kuriboh looked up as the tall Android rose from the ground, sending an electrical wave through out the field. "The effect of my Android Psycho Shocker keeps all trap cards from being activated." Kyu explained.
"And now! Inferno Man Tempest, destroy his Cyclops now!" Kyu called out, pointing his finger.
The warrior thrusted his fist out, sending a wave of fire at the one eyed giant, but suddenly he held up his club, blocking the fire. "What the!" Kyu said, confused.
"My Cyclops is one powerful brute, don't you see. It's effect blocks off any attacks from monsters with an attack power of twenty five hundred or more." Kaijou chuckled.
"Well then, my Android Psycho Shocker will do the trick." Kyu smiled. "Your reign of terror ends here! Android Psycho Shocker, destroy his Cyclops!"
"You are one sad little boy." Kaijou smiled as his magic card flipped up. "Activate magic card! Apollo's Gift!"
"What?" Kyu said.
"This permanent magic card increases all face-up monster's attack power by one hundred during everyone of our Battle Phases!" Kaijou explained as sparkling rain came down on all the monsters. Kuriboh shook himself of the rain as his attack power rose to 400, Inferno Man Tempest's to 2600, and Android Psycho Shocker's to 2500. Kaijou laughed as the rain also sprinkled on his monsters, raising his Cyclops to 2000, his Circe to 1500, his Siren of Ballad to 400, and Siren of Melody to 1800.
"No, now my Android Psycho Shocker is at the limit of Cyclops' effect." Kyu said as the android blasted a black energy sphere at the giant. The giant once again blocked the attack.
"Face it, Kyu-Haru, my deck is the most powerful, it has defeated Duelist Legend, Seto Kaiba, and it'll soon bring you down." Kaijou chuckled.
"Not if I have a say in it." Kyu said. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
"Draw..." Kaijou announced, drawing his next card. "Yes! I've finally drew it!"
"He's got what he's been waiting for... But what is it?" Kyu said as Kaijou held the card greedfully.
"Kyu-Haru, failure is upon you, you'll let down all your peers and your teachers." Kaijou laughed. "You'll finally be defeated by that who overrules you."
"You talk to much. This is a game, games shouldn't be taken so seriously." Kyu said.
"You mean to tell me, you're just having fun in all this?" Kaijou asked, sounding like Kyu was acting pathetic.
"Yes, but with this much pressure, there's too much riding on this duel. Games are meant for fun, not serious damage to one's future." Kyu said. "I only plan to defeat you because of the horrible actions you bestowed on my fellow peers."
"I could care less about the damned students, they make no difference." Kaijou laughed, now he was just lashing out.
"You basterd..." Kaiba growled. "You only crave for superiority that you have no care for anyone that you hurt along the way."
"Now! On with this duel! I'll sacrifice Siren of Melody and Siren of Ballad to summon this great warrior!" Kaijou announced as the lights dimmed and the two sirens dissolved. "Ultimate Warrior, Odysseus! (3500/3000)"
"That warrior..." Kyu gasped as the great armored warrior rose from the card hologram that was facing up into the air.
"Yes, the hero of the great novel, Odysseus!" Kaijou laughed as the warrior unsheathed it's sword, and getting into an attack pose.
"The main hero of the story is finally summoned." Kyu said with a determined face. "He must be powerful, but I'll defeat it either way!"
