33. Bringing Back Duelist Academy
"Ultimate Warrior, Odysseus!" Kaijou announced as the warrior let out a battle cry. Kaijou's life points stood at 400 while Kyu's at 1750.
"So now that my ultimate monster has been summoned, how do you feel, young Kyu-Haru?" Kaijou asked. Kyu didn't reply. "I see, well maybe we'll figure something out to do with you."
Kyu only had had Inferno Man Tempest (2600/1000), Android Psycho Shocker (2500/1400), and Kuriboh in defense mode (200/400). Kaijou had his Ultimate Warrior, Odysseus (3500/3000), Circe (1500/1400), and Cyclops (2000/1500). Kaijou also had his Apollo's Gift which gave each and every monster on the field an extra 100 attack points during each player's battle phase.
"And now that I move to my battle phase, all monsters on the field gain an additional one hundred attack points." Kaijou said as Cyclops grew to 2100, Circe to 1600, Odysseus to 3600, Android Psycho Shocker to 2600, Inferno Man Tempest to 2700, and Kuriboh to 500. "Ultimate Warrior, Odysseus, destroy his Android Psycho Shocker!"
The warrior leapt forward, slashing his long sword down across the android, causing it to fall in half and dissolve away. Wind blew toward Kyu, reducing his life points to 750. "Next, Cyclops! Destroy his Kuriboh!" Kaijou announced, pointing at the little creature.
The cyclops dove forward, smashing it's giant club down on the little creature, destroying it easily. Kyu didn't lose any life points since it was in defense mode, but because Cyclops attacked it, it's power rose to 2200.
"I'll set one card face down. With that I'll end my turn now." Kaijou announced.
"Draw..." Kyu announced, drawing his card.
"Ultimate Warrior, Odysseus' effect is now active!" Kaijou announced. "During each of our Standby Phases, the player must draw twenty cards from their deck, then discard ten. With Odysseus on the field there is no limit to how much cards are kept in our hands."
"This is just a benefit for all of us." Kyu said, drawing his twenty cards. He viewed his deck, picking out ten cards carefully, then sliding them in his graveyard.
"Yes, but this will make the duel go by faster." Kaijou smiled.
"You may have summoned an ultimate monster but because I have eleven cards in my hand, I have a higher chance of gaining better cards." Kyu said.
"Yes, but now I see your deck is running thin." Kaijou smiled.
"I have to admit, he's right, if I have to keep drawing like this, I'll automatically lose for having no other cards to draw from my deck." Kyu said.
"Right." Kaijou smiled.
"First, I'll activate this magic card, Fusion!" Kyu announced. "Which I use to fuse Seraphim Sabre and Seraphim Gunner from my hand, back into Seraphim Rampart Gunner! (2600/1300)"
The giant gun wielding angel materialized to the field, facing the three monsters. "What'll that do any good for." Kaijou smiled.
"Next, I'll activate this, De-Fusion!" Kyu announced.
"That's it!" Hide said, snapping his fingers. "Kyu's going to use a sacrifice, that's why he summoned that monster."
"This will split Seraphim Rampart Gunner back to it's two monsters! Now, I return Seraphim Gunner (1800/1200 +300) and Seraphim Sabre! (1600/1500 +300)" Kyu announced as the two angels appeared on his field. "Now! I'll activate this, Little Flame Burst!"
"What?" Kaijou said in shock.
"To activate it's effect, I'll sacrifice Seraphim Gunner and Seraphim Sabre in order to bring back Kuriboh! (300/200)" Kyu announced.
"Heh, what a waste." Kaijou said.
"That's not all! Because I brought back Kuriboh with Little Flame Burst, it gains an additional three thousand attack points!" Kyu said as the small furry creature was engulfed in flames, increasing it's attack power to 3300. "It may not be enough to destroy your warrior, but I can still get another one of your monsters!"
"Don't forget, the effect of my Apollo's Gift gives all monsters an extra boost." Kaijou said as Kuriboh's attack power rose to 3400, Odysseus' to 3700, Circe to 1700, and Cyclops to 2200.
"I didn't forget that." Kyu smiled. "Now! Kuriboh, attack and destroy Circe!" Kyu commanded, pointing at the sorceress. The Kuriboh charged, the flames around it grew stronger.
"Reveal trap card!" Kaijou announced. "Panic Attack!"
"What's that do?" Kyu asked.
"A coin will be flipped." Kaijou said as the trap card transformed into the coin, standing in mid air, flipping over and over. "And if I call it right, my Circe will be moved into defense position."
"And what if you call it wrong?" Kyu asked.
"Well if I call it wrong, the attack will be successful, but the battle damage will be doubled." Kaijou frowned, but then smiled. "But I have full complete confidence it'll be heads!"
The coin fell and began to spin on the ground, spinning and spinning and spinning when it suddenly stopped, on it's side. Everyone watched as the coin began to wobble back and forth, then land on one side, heads.
"And now! Circe is shifted into defense mode!" Kaijou announced as the Kuriboh bashed into the sorceress, destroying it. Kaijou smiled, knowing that there was no battle damage.
Kyu frowned, so close to victory yet so far. "Looks as if you've failed my dear Kyu-Haru." Kaijou smiled.
Kyu looked back to his father and mother. "Don't worry Kyu, you will win! We have faith in our son!" Kyu's father said.
Kyu looked back and smiled. "I'll set three cards face down and end my turn." Kyu announced.
"Draw..." Kaijou announced. "Now it's my turn..."
"Because I've drawn a single card, Odysseus's attack power increases by two hundred (3800/3000)" Kaijou explained.
"No way, that means..." Kyu gasped.
"Exactly, on my Standby Phase, I too have to draw twenty cards, giving my warrior a total of four thousand more attack points." Kaijou said, swiftly drawing twenty cards and discarding ten. Just then the warrior began to glow and it's attack power increased to a total of 7800.
"No way!" Yukie and Doxx gasped.
"And now, my Apollo's Gift will increase all our monster's attack power." Kaijou said as Odysseus grew to 7900, Cyclops to 2300, and Kuriboh to 3500.
"Now! Odysseus, destroy his Kuriboh!" Kaijou announced, pointing at the creature. Kuriboh looked in shock as the warrior leapt up into the air, unleashing a giant battle cry.
"Activate magic card, Shrink!" Kyu announced as his magic card flipped up.
"That won't do! Magic and trap cards don't effect my great warrior!" Kaijou laughed.
"I thought so, that's why I'm using it on my own monster!" Kyu said as his Kuriboh began to shrink, it's attack power reducing to 1750.
"What's the point of this!" Kaijou said.
"Because I have another ace up my sleeve." Kyu smiled. "Activate trap card, Wings of Sanctuary!"
"Yes!" Hide said.
"When there's a battle between two monsters which will make a total amount of three thousand points of damage or more, then the person with the strongest monster will take all the battle damage. That means you've just walked into my trap!" Kyu explained.
"I refuse to lose to the likes of you!" Kaijou shouted. "I'll activate my own trap card, Hallowed Life Barrier!"
"No..." Kyu said, facing failure once again.
"By discarding a card from my hand, I can reduce all damage toward me to 0." Kaijou said as the warrior destroyed Kuriboh, causing no damage to any players.
Kaijou frowned. "It has been a tough battle so far for the both of us." Kaijou said, standing up from his throne. "But this is getting to be personal."
"I'll end my turn by setting three cards face down and ending my turn." Kaijou announced.
"I've got it..." Doxx said, snapping his fingers.
"Got what?" Hide asked.
"Kyu... He hasn't used his XYZ Dragon Cannon combo yet." Doxx smiled.
"So?" Yukie asked.
"I see... Kaijou's Ultimate Warrior, Odysseus is unaffected by magic and trap cards. His only ability is to increase his own attack power by the number of cards Kaijou draws. There's only one big hole in Odysseus, and that's Kyu's XYZ Dragon Cannon."
"Oh I get it. With the amount of cards Kyu has, he'll be able to beat this guy!" Yukie said, holding up a fist.
Kyu looked back at his friends. They all nodded their heads, signaling him for his finishing move. Kyu looked back to Kaijou. "Kaijou, it's sad to see this happen. Your hopes and dreams of becoming number one. I want to become number one too. But by not getting there in such horrible ways!" Kyu said.
"What do you mean?" Kaijou said.
"To be number one, you must gain the respect of your peers, not make them force them to respect you." Kyu said, drawing his card.
"And since I've moved into my Standby Phase, I'll draw my twenty cards." Kyu said, drawing his twenty cards. He then discarded his ten cards to his graveyard Kyu glanced at his deck, seeing only two cards left. "I'm sorry Kaijou, not for your future loss, but for yourself, your personality, your motives."
"Future loss, you must be kidding me." Kaijou smirked. "You only have two cards in your deck, there's no chance for you."
"I don't kid." Kyu said. "Now! I set three cards face down. Then I'll activate this, Emergency Provisions!"
"Heh." Kaijou said. "This will do you no good."
"I'll sacrifice three of my face down cards to increase my life points by three thousand!" Kyu announced as his three face down cards dissolved away, his life points raising to 3750. "Next, I'll summon this, X Head Cannon! (1800/1500)"
"So you plan to summon your favorite monster, again. I see your strategy hasn't changed yet." Kaijou smiled.
"Your little remarks are nothing to me. I could care less about what you think about my monsters." Kyu said. "Next! I'll use this, Bond of Brothers! By sacrificing one thousand life points (LP: 2750), I'll be able to summon two monsters of the same type! Now I bring forth Y Dragon Head (1500/1600) and Z Metal Caterpillar! (1500/1300)"
The two machines formed on the field, both ready for an offensive strike. "Kyu-Haru, you're a fool." Kaijou smirked. "Unlike me, I wield such a powerful and rare monster while you hold such a feeble monster."
"Now! Combine, X, Y, Z monsters!" Kyu announced as the three machines launched into the air, combining together, forming one single machine. "XYZ Dragon Cannon! (2800/2600)"
"Heh." Kaijou said.
"Next! I'll discard a card from my hand to activate XYZ Dragon Cannon's special ability!" Kyu announced. "By letting me destroy a card on your field! So now! Your Cyclops is gone!"
Suddenly the giant machine launched a missile at the one eyed giant, destroying it easily. "Heh, you've already used it's effect, what's stopping me from winning this duel?" Kaijou said.
"This..." Kyu said, holding up a magic card.
"And what's that?" Kaijou asked.
"This rare magic card is known as Magical Rejuvenation Medicine." Kyu said.
"What! No!" Kaijou said in shock.
"Yeah! I gave him that card for his birthday!" Kyu's mom shouted, everyone glanced at Kyu's mom who did a quick victory dance.
"Now! I activate it, Magical Rejuvenation Medicine!" Kyu said. "It allows me to sacrifice five hundred life points to activate my XYZ Dragon Cannon's effect, and I can use more than once as long as I keep sacrificing life points."
"No! I have my ultimate monster and a total of three face down cards on my field." Kaijou said in his head, growling.
"I can't lose to the likes of you! I can't!" Kaijou said.
"Now! I'll sacrifice twenty five hundred of my life points (LP: 1250) so I can discard four cards from my hand and destroy every card on your field!" Kyu said, sending four of his cards from his hand, to his graveyard.
The machine fired four missiles, three destroying Kaijou's three face down cards and one heading right toward his great warrior. "You invaded our school, changed our rules, and ruined the name of Duel Monsters! Izuki Kaijou, you're done!" Kyu said as the missile destroyed Odysseus. "And now! XYZ Dragon Cannon, attack his life points directly!"
The machine unleashed a round of cannons, each firing missiles at Kaijou. There was a giant explosion around Kaijou. Kaijou screamed as his life points reduced to 0. A piece of paper had flown out of Kaijou's pocket and burst into fire, turning into ash. It was the Kaijou's contract to take ownership of the school.
"Yeah!" Hide said.
"Kyu! You did it!" Yukie cheered, running up to him and hugging him. Doxx and Hide came up, patting him on the back.
"Isona, get him out of my school." Kaiba said, smirking. Isona ordered two guards to take him away for good.
Everyone gathered around Kyu, congratulating him and thanking him. "This is no time for celebration." Kaiba's voice hollered.
Everyone glanced at Kaiba, his arms folded and a nasty look on his face. "This school has been ruined. Innocent students have been expelled. It will take as much work as possible to get it straight and going. I need you all to say good bye to your parents. Parents night has been cancelled." Kaiba said.
"Oh, Kyu-Haru." Kyu's mom said. "I'm sorry we have to leave, but just seeing you do this is the only thing we needed to see."
"Yes, we've seen your doing well." Kyu's father said, patting him on the head. "We'll see you in the summer."
Every student gave loving hugs and tears of happiness as their parents left on a ship, headed back to domino city. Yukie was happy to see her father, and happy that he saw that she was doing well.
Hide's father managed to get word to Kaiba about Hide's career, luckily he got a "I'll think about it."
Doxx couldn't be any happier, he watched as the boat sailed off. "Good bye... Mom." He said to himself.
Kyu stood with his friends, when suddenly Kyu started laughing. "Hey! What's so funny!" Yukie said, slapping him lightly on the back.
"Oh nothing, I'm just glad to have things back to normal." He said, putting his hands in his pocket. "You know, I can't wait for tomorrow. So many adventures have been happening, I can't wait to see more."
"Come on let's go, I'm really tired." Hide said.
"Yeah, I think we all deserve a good rest." Doxx said, yawning as they all watched the moon rise up.
