48. Transformation of Red Eyes VS The Mutants
"I think I can walk now..." Violet said as Doxx easily let her arm go.
"Great, we can move out of here faster..." Genesis said.
"We have to find Kyu first!" Hide said.
"Trust me, kid, Kyu is a more fit duelist than most of us here, he can take on the rest, I just want to get back to my room." Genesis said.
"You're staying with us, or would you like to end up like Sophia?" Doxx asked, nudging her. Genesis rolled her eyes and followed them as they reached a chamber door.
Doxx turned the wheel and it opened easily. "It's the laboratory..." Doxx said, looking around the class room full of beakers, glass containers, and jars full of mysterious substances.
"Great... It's locked..." Genesis said, trying to open the door.
"And guess who has the key..." Hide said, pointing to a figure sitting up at the desks, twirling a key attached to a ring, in his hands.
"Well well well, seems Vulcan's plan has worked." The rare hunter said, chuckling as he stood up.
"Who are you!" Violet hissed.
The rare hunter came to the steps and walked down them, letting his robe fall off as he came to the end. "Names Greg... Now that Kyu's lost forever, we can finally get on with our plan, only thing is, you've guys seen too much. It is my duty to make sure you're eliminated for sure." Greg said, holding up his duel disk.
He stood into the dim light, revealing his black tight leather shirt and leather pants, his black hair standing up with probably what seemed to be like atleast two bottles of gel.
"Who shall it be today? The legend Violet? Doxx? Weak little Hide? Hmm or sour temper Genesis..." He said, holding his chin as he viewed them all.
"Weak!" Hide said.
"I agree I do have I sour temper, so I'll sit this one out..." Genesis said, backing away.
"I still have enough juice in me to bring this guy down..." Violet growled, whipping out her duel disk.
"Nah, you've had a turn already..." Greg said, brushing Violet off. "Well Doxx, you're the only one left so you're my target!"
"Fine then!" Doxx said, whipping out his duel disk, loading his deck to the deck holster.
The rest backed up to the desk area, sitting at the first row as Doxx and Greg stood out in the outer area of the class room.
"Duel!" Greg and Doxx announced as their life points rose to 4000.
Doxx felt a chill as a few black and purple fogs seeped around the field. "The shadow realm..." He said, looking around as Greg smiled deviously, ready to draw.
"Yup, I won't be playing without this baby, I've won all my duels with this ever since I joined the Rare Hunters..." Greg smirked.
"Well your luck is about to run out!" Doxx said.
"Let's just play, draw!" Greg announced, drawing his card. "I summon Para Mutant! In attack mode! (1800/1500) I'll then set two cards face down and end my turn!"
"Draw!" Doxx announced, drawing his card. "Alright! I summon this, Sapphire Dragon! (1900/1600)"
Suddenly a shining blue dragon appeared, its scales reflecting light and its red eyes gleaming. "Destroy his Para Mutant now!" Doxx called forth, pointing.
"Not so fast!" Greg said, smiling. "Already, I have you in my trap, activate magic card, Treasure of Pearl!"
"What? What's that!" Doxx said as Greg's face-down card flipped up, glowing as his magic card revealed itself.
"This allows me to mutate my Para Mutant, by sacrificing it, I can bring forth this! Lycanthrope! (2300/1600)" Greg announced as the tiny armored human clutched his sides, breathing heavily as a wolf's howl rose up. The human thrusted his hands outwards, his skin growing fur and his armor stretching out as he transformed into a were wolf.
"A were wolf..." Hide said, shocked.
"Lycanthrope is way stronger than your Sapphire Dragon, and it'll easily destroy it!" Greg laughed as the were wolf lunged forward, slashing the dragon into pieces, reducing Doxx's life points to 3600.
"And then! I'll activate my trap card, Reverse Mutant Antidote!" Greg announced. "With this trap, I can summon back my Para Mutant! (1800/1500)"
"Darn... I've already lost the monster I've summoned..." Doxx said sadly.
"Heh, once you end your turn, I'll be able to attack you directly, allowing me an instant win." Greg chuckled, waiting for Doxx to face failure.
"I still have one solution up my sleeve. I'll sacrifice a card from my hand so I can special summon this, Tusk Head Dragon! In defense mode! (2200/1900)" Doxx announced as a large dragon appeared, large tusks were protruding from under its lips as it roared, defending itself with its tusks. "I'll then set a card face down and end my turn!"
"Hmph, lucky move..." Greg said, drawing his next card. "Now! Lycanthrope, destroy his Tusk Head Dragon!"
The were wolf charged on all fours, slashing the dragon at its neck, causing it to roar out loud as it exploded into digital pieces. "Now! Para Mutant, attack his life points directly!"
The human charged, jumping up and punching Doxx in the gut. Doxx let out a gasp as he fell to his knees, his life points reducing to 1800.
"Ha!" Greg laughed. "Not quite the tough guy eh?"
"You..." Doxx said, standing. "This guys deck is based on mutants and other transforming monsters..."
"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn." Greg said, happy for his up-leading victory.
"Draw..." Doxx announced, drawing his next card. "Alright... Something worth while..."
"Looks like he's got something..." Violet said.
"Good! Then he can stop being beaten by this guy!" Genesis said, standing up, holding her fists up.
"Activate this magic card, Cost Down!" Doxx announced as the magic card appeared on the field. "With this, all levels of monsters in my hand are reduced by two! Now! I can summon this, Emerald Dragon! (2400/1600)"
"No..." Greg gasped as the emerald green dragon materialized to the field.
"Now! Destroy his Lycanthrope!" Doxx commanded, pointing forward.
The dragon unleashed a blaze of white fire, destroying the were wolf easily. Greg growled as his life points reduced to 3900.
"Reveal magic card..." Greg announced, smiling his devious smile once again. "Treasure of Pearl!"
"Again!" Doxx gasped.
"That's right, I have more ways to transform my monsters." Greg snickered as his human went through its shifting phase, transforming into a new were wolf. "Now I have a new Lycanthrope! (2300/1600)"
Doxx still smiled. "Quite a useless move, seeing how my Emerald Dragon is still stronger. I'll end my turn now!" He announced.
"You're right, but my mutating deck is full of surprises!" Greg laughed, drawing his next card. "Now! I activate this! Jekyll's Potion!"
"No..." Doxx growled.
"This magic card equips to my Lycanthrope, increasing its attack strength by eight hundred!" Greg said as the were wolf grasped a small beaker of liquid, quickly swallowing it down. Suddenly steam began to shoot out of its nose as it breathed and its muscles pumped, growing larger, its attack strength rising to 3100. "Now destroy his weak Emerald Dragon!"
"I expected this..." Doxx grinned.
"What!" Greg gasped.
"You're not the only one who can transform their monsters! Activate trap card, Dragon Mirror!" Doxx announced as his trap card flipped up, releasing a dragon statue holding a giant mirror.
"What's that!" Greg said in shock.
"By using this, I can sacrifice my Emerald Dragon to bring forth another dragon!" Doxx said as his Emerald Dragon was sucked into the mirror. Suddenly cracks developed in the statue and light shined out. The mirror shattered into pieces and the dragon spread its wings from its statue like shell, revealing a totally white dragon with a shining scaly belly which brought forth light into the dark class room.
"Wow, that's a bright monster..." Hide said, shielding his eyes and the dragon rose up and roared.
"This is my Death Glaze, Mirror Dragon! (2000/2300)" Doxx announced. "And you're headed right into it!"
"So! It'll be destroyed before you know it!" Greg yelled.
"You don't realize that my Death Glaze Mirror Dragon has a side effect when you attack it!" Doxx said as the were wolf punched the dragons mirror-like chest. Suddenly a burst of light blasted, shooting back the lycanthrope back to its place.
"What happened!" Greg gasped.
"My mirror dragon cannot be destroyed, although I gain damage, the damage is reduced by half." Doxx said as his life points reduced to 1250. "But it also affects your monster, reducing its attack by half!"
"No!" Greg growled as his Lycanthrope grew weaker, sort of kneeling to its wolf-like knee as its attack strength reduced to 1550.
"My turn ends..." Greg growled, realizing Doxx was going to take the lead. He did not want to lose.
The fog grew thicker around the two duelist as Greg felt his power grow. Suddenly a necklace appeared through his chest and around his neck.
"What is that?" Doxx said.
"The source of my power... The bit of the shadow realm is enough to allow me to control this dimension." Greg laughed, grasping the black pearl filled with a dark fog which was attached to his necklace. "I'm the true owner of the shadow realm..."
"I never saw one of those things on Vulcan or Ghost Ryder..." Violet said, confused.
"Them? They were just pawns in this duel, had no power, I did all the hard work." Greg said. "They were lucky enough to even feel its power..."
"So your hogging all the power just so you can be the best!" Genesis said, standing. "That's low! Even if I was with a team, and I had this much power, I'd make it equal to my members!"
"Heh, what do you know, you've never possessed such great items!" Greg laughed.
"I can see it..." Doxx said, feeling a chill up his spine. "The very souls of Ghost Ryder and Vulcan, trapped in that very bit of the shadow realm..."
He could see their bodies, their expressions horrified as they banged on the glass barrier, trying to escape. "You took their souls! Your the one who let them be taken!" Doxx said.
"Heh, failures is what they are, they deserve no right to serve the Rare Hunters if they lose a single duel in our great mission to achieve greater power." Greg laughed.
"Greg.. Stop it now..." A dark sinister voice suddenly said.
Everyone's heads turned toward a dark figure standing near the emergency exit at the top of the desk area. "Another one?" Violet said.
"Leader!" Greg said, holding his hand to his chest and bowing.
"Heh, Greg, you pathetic fool..." The leader said, snickering.
"What?" Greg said, confused.
"You wield this small power and boast, you're a sorry fool." He said. "You don't appreciate your team I assembled for you. You might as well admit that you're a sick person."
"No! I am powerful, I can beat all of these duelist without them!" Greg said.
"Then prove it..." The leader said with a evil grin.
"My turn ends..." Doxx said in a expression which definitely gave Greg the feeling that he was a fool.
"Draw..." Greg said with anger, then smiling. "Now! I sacrifice my Lycanthrope so I can summon this... Mutant High Brain! (0/2500)"
Suddenly the were wolf dissolved away and a creature with a large head rose, wearing armor and a long robe. It had big black eyes like an alien would have.
"This monster has no attack points what so ever, but he summoned it in attack mode, meaning this monster could have a serious effect to have been sacrificed for..." Doxx thought.
"Now! Mutant High Brain, attack his Mirror Dragon with your telekinesis!" Greg commanded, pointing forward.
Suddenly the mutant's long robes unleashed two transparent hands, grabbing onto Doxx's dragon's head. The two hands seem to have grasping so hard, they actually went into the dragons head.
The dragon lashed out, trying to break free, but its eyes suddenly turned bright red. "What are you doing!" Doxx said in a horrified look.
"Your dragon is mine! And now will turn against you! Death Glaze, Mirror Dragon, destroy the rest of his life points!" Greg announced, laughing insanely as the dragon turned toward Doxx. Greg was excited, knowing now he could win the duel and prove to his leader he was worthy.
"Erg..." Doxx said, taking a step back as the dragon revealed its mirror-like belly, releasing a bright ray of light which burned Doxx. Doxx screamed, grabbing his sides as he fell to his knees, his life points reducing to 250.
"What? You still have life points... How can this be!" Greg said.
"Another effect of my Mirror Dragon..." Doxx smiled. "I can attack with it, but attacking directly will cut its attack strength by half..."
Greg growled. "Your just postponing this match... Give up you don't have a chance..." Greg said, holding his fist in anger.
"You know nothing..." Doxx said.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Greg snared.
"Draw..." Doxx announced, drawing his card. "Now! I'll activate this, Pot of Greed! Allowing me to draw two extra cards..."
Doxx quickly drew his next card and smiled. "Now! Death Glaze, Mirror Dragon, destroy his Mutant High Brain!" Doxx commanded.
"Activate magic card, Telemorperator!" Greg announced. "This card automatically teleports my monster out of the duel!" Greg said as his mutant suddenly disappeared. "And it'll be back on my next Main Phase, but I still need to use this, activate trap card, Sucker Punch!"
"This card..." Doxx said, recognizing the card.
"This destroys all of your high leveled monsters when I have no other monsters on my field!" Greg said as Doxx's Death Glaze, Mirror Dragon vanished.
"Good thing I kept this card..." Doxx said, looking at a card in his hand. "I'll summon Red Eyes Black Chick to the field! (800/500)"
Suddenly a cute baby version of the Red Eyes Black Dragon materialized to the field. "The effect of my Red Eyes Black Chick allows me to sacrifice it, bringing forth my Red Eyes Black Dragon! (2400/2000)"
Suddenly the baby dragon dissolved, then the giant black dragon appeared, opening up its red eyes and letting out a tremendous roar.
"This rare card..." Greg said in such idolization.
"Don't fool around Greg!" The leader shouted. "Concentrate on this duel! You must win!"
"Right..." Greg said.
"I'll set one more card face down and end my turn." Doxx announced.
"Draw..." Greg announced, drawing his next card. "Doesn't matter what card I have now! My Mutant High Brain returns to the field! (0/2500)"
"Here it goes..." Doxx thought, taking a step back as a bead of sweat came down the side of his head as the alien-like mutant formed on the field, again with its long robes fluttering.
"Mutant High Brain, attack Red Eyes Black Dragon with your Telekinesis!" Greg commanded, pointing forward.
The mutant unleashed its two transparent hands straight toward Red Eyes' head. "Reveal trap card!" Doxx announced "Mechanical Magic Mirror!"
"What!" Greg gasped.
"This trap allows me to activate a magic card in your graveyard, and I've chose to use your Telemorperator!" Doxx announced.
"No!" Greg growled as Doxx's Red Eyes Black Dragon suddenly disappeared, escaping from the reach of Mutant High Brain's telekinesis.
"I'm guessing by the shocked look your done with your turn..." Doxx smiled, drawing his next card. "Excellent! Now! I'll can be able to transform my red eyes..."
"What do you mean..." Greg growled.
"Now! I sacrifice my Red Eyes Black Dragon to summon this..." Doxx announced as his dragon vanished. Suddenly a burst of flames appeared, as if the firery pits of hell opened up and gave birth to a new being for the earths destruction. A black figure of a dragon rose up, causing the fire to disburse, revealing a new version of the Red Eyes Black Dragon. "Red Eyes Darkness Dragon! (2400/2000)"
"Nothing has changed about it, sure it has a new look, but nothing else..." Greg said.
"My Red Eyes now has an affect, a really deserving one too." Doxx said. "I may haven't done much damage through out this duel, but my patience has finally paid off!"
"On with the effect..." Greg said impatiently.
"My Red Eyes Darkness Dragon gains three hundred attack points for every dragon monster in my graveyard!" Doxx said as the dragon's red beaming eyes began to grow firery.
"What? Exactly how many dragons have you played?" Greg said, shocked.
"Do the math..." Doxx smiled as he remembered back to every time his dragon was destroyed by Greg's monster, and every time he sacrificed one. "I have a total of six dragons in my graveyard, times it by six and that's eighteen hundred more attack points for my Red Eyes Darkness Dragon!"
"No!" Greg said in horror as Red Eyes Darkness Dragon's attack strength rose to 4200.
"With a monster with no attack points, this duel should be simple to win." Doxx smiled. "Red Eyes Darkness Dragon, destroy his Mutant High Brain!"
The dragon unleashed a stream of fire, hitting the mutant and melting it into nothing. Greg watched in horror as his life points reduced to 0.
"Alright Doxx!" Hide cheered.
"You've failed me, Gregory..." The leader said as a swirl of black fog went around his hand. The fog seeped into Greg's mouth who stammered in shock as his very soul was pulled out of his body.
Greg fell lifeless to the ground as the leader laughed as his eyes began to glow a eerie purple color. He then headed for the exit.
Doxx fell to his knee, weakened by the shadow realm. "Doxx!" Violet said in shock.
"Forget about me! Stop him!" Doxx said, pointing at the fleeing leader.
"Right, we'll be back soon!" Hide said as the three raced off after the leader.
Doxx crawled toward Greg's soul-less body, grabbing the orb which held a bit of the shadow realm and he crushed it with his boot, causing darkness to vanish. He noticed two colorful lights escape, predicting they were Ghost Ryder and Vulcan's souls.
Vulcan's eyes opened, looking around, seeing that he was still in the lava dome. "I'm alive..." He said, feeling his face.
Suddenly felt two strong arms grab him, pinning him to the ground and feeling hands getting cuffed. "What's the big idea!" Vulcan yelled as two offices pulled him up.
"You are under arrest by strict law of Kaiba Corporation for trespassing on private property..." The officer said, pulling him away.
Vulcan smirked. "So did you get Ghost Ryder?" Vulcan asked the officer.
"No..." The officer said.
Ghost Ryder laughed, standing on one of the unconscious officer's helmet, then jumping off. "I won't be taken away that easily..." Ryder laughed, jumping off the stage and heading toward the stairs. "I have a score to settle..."
