54. Kaiba's Triumph
As Kaiba went through the list of students he noticed several unchecked marks. "What's with this?" He asked, looking at the list.
"It appears several students didn't make it out..." Isona said to Kaiba.
"Ishikawa, Brahn... Kyu-Haru..." Kaiba said.
"Also, Quartz is gone too." Isona said.
"Do these kids actually think they'll make a difference if they get themselves in trouble like this..." Kaiba growled. "I'm off..."
"But sir!" Isona said.
"I can handle this... It's just a bunch of Rare Hunters..." Kaiba smirked, sliding on his duel disk and running off. He ran up the stairs and into the school.
"Eh heh heh..." Genesis said, looking around scared.
"Who was that!" Sophia thought to herself, backing up.
Suddenly both girls backed up into each other and screamed. "Ahhh!" Sophia panicked while Genesis calmed down, knowing it was Sophia.
"Sophia shut up!" Genesis said, shaking her. "Hey! You're alive!"
"Yeah..." Sophia said. "What's with the school?"
"This Von Bourg guy made everyone go into Evacuation Escape... So unless we do something the whole school will all lose their souls! He's already got rid of Violet!"
"Wait? This guy beat Violet! Screw that! We need to get off this island!" Sophia screamed.
"Shut up! He might come back for me!" Genesis said, slapping Sophia.
"Whose there!" A voice suddenly called out.
"Whose that! AH! It's him again! We need to get out!" Genesis screamed, running around in circles.
"Don't be silly! It's Master Kaiba! He's come to save us!" Sophia said with a look of love.
"Oh... No! That means we'll get in trouble!" Genesis said, hiding behind Sophia.
"Genesis? Sophia? What are you two doing here..." Kaiba said sternly.
"Ah ah! It's not our fault! Kyu-Haru and his stupid friends dragged us along! We had no choice!" Genesis said, playing guilty.
"Well where are they?" Kaiba asked. Both of them shrugged. "Well come on. We need you to get with the others"
"No! You don't understand!" Genesis pleaded. "We all have to leave this island now! The Rare Hunters have some sort of black magic and he's going to take all our souls to just unlock the card vault!"
"Not this again..." Kaiba gasped, feeling a cold chill.
"If these kids are telling the same experiences I had... Then it must be true..." Kaiba growled.
Kaiba whipped out his cell phone but suddenly it fell out of his hand, and flew to a wall. It looks like a long needle struck it, destroying Kaiba's phone.
"What the!" Kaiba said, turning to see a person standing before them.
"Ahh! It's a Rare Hunter!" Sophia squealed.
"Who are you!" Kaiba pointed.
The person laughed, stepping into the dim light, revealing two giant rusted gears on his shoulders, black pants and a brown vest. "Calling your fellow guards won't be necessary." The Rare Hunter laughed. "I am Irona..."
"Irona..." Kaiba growled.
"Yes... and I'm here to challenge one of you to a duel..." Irona announced. "But with Seto Kaiba here, my target has changed to you!"
"Fine, I will duel you... Then I'll have you arrested for intruding on my property. Not only that but I'll crush your leader!" Kaiba shouted.
"Heh..." Irona smiled. "Highly doubtful..."
Kaiba growled as he slid his deck into his duel disk, causing it to fold out. Irona did the same and they both got ready. "Duel!" They both announced as their life points rose to 4000.
"I'll begin!" Irona announced, drawing his first card. "I'll summon Antique Gear Soldier in defense mode! (1300/1300) I'll then set two cards face down and end my turn!"
"Draw!" Kaiba announced, drawing his card. "Blade Knight in attack mode! (1600/1000)"
Suddenly the blue armored knight appeared, wielding its glistening sword and all. "Destroy his Antique Gear Soldier!" Kaiba commanded, pointing forward.
The knight charged, slashing Irona's mechanical soldier to pieces. "Activate trap card!" Irona grinned. "Trap Level 4!"
Kaiba smiled. "This will do nothing for you..." Kaiba smirked.
"Because of this trap, we'll both summon a level four monster from our decks..." Irona said. "Now! I bring forth another Antique Gear Soldier! (1300/1300)"
"And I'll summon Kaiser Seahorse! (1700/1650)" Kaiba announced as both warriors appeared on the field. "My turn's not over yet, I'll activate this, Replay! Allowing me to repeat my battle phase by sacrificing only two thousand of my Life Points! (LP: 2000)"
"Excellent..." Irona said in his head.
"Yes! Kaiba's going to crush this twit!" Genesis said happily.
"Kaiser Seahorse, destroy his Antique Gear Soldier!" Kaiba called forward, pointing at Irona's soldier. The warrior jumped forward, slashing its double spear across the soldier and destroying it.
Irona shielded himself from the explosion of his mechanical soldier as his life points reduced to 3600. "And now! Blade Knight, attack his life points directly!" Kaiba shouted, pointing at Irona.
Irona braced himself as the knight lashed out, slashing Irona across the shoulder. Irona growled but smiled as his life points reduced to 2000.
"This is a piece of cake..." Kaiba smiled.
"Heh..." Irona smiled. "Activate trap card!"
"What!" Kaiba suddenly said.
"Damage Condenser!" Irona announced as his last face down card flipped up. "With this, I can summon any monster from my deck equal to the total amount of life points I just lost this turn."
"No... I just gave him a strong monster..." Kaiba growled.
"Now! I bring forward Antique Gear Beast! (2000/2000)" Irona announced as a mechanical wolf appeared on the field.
"Err..." Kaiba growled. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
"Draw!" Irona announced, drawing his next card. "Now! Antique Gear Beast, destroy his Blade Knight now!"
The mechanical wolf charged forward toward Kaiba's monster. "Reveal magic card, Shrink!" Kaiba announced.
"Don't think so..." Irona smirked. Suddenly Kaiba's magic card exploded into pieces.
"What the!" Kaiba said.
"The effect of my Antique Gear Beast keeps you from using any magic or traps during its attack." Irona laughed as the mechanical wolf bit down on the knight causing it to explode.
Kaiba shielded himself from the explosion as his life points dropped to 1600. "To end my turn, I'll set a card face down, them summon my last Antique Gear Soldier in defense mode (1300/1300)" Irona announced as the same soldier appeared, holding its mechanical arms up, shielding himself. "Now it's your go."
"Draw..." Kaiba announced, drawing his next card and smiling. "You might as well run to your boss and tell him to not mess with me..."
"Boss'll be happy to crush you." Irona smiled.
"We'll see! Now! I use Kaiser Seahorse's special ability, by sacrificing it for my Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)" Kaiba announced as his monster dissolved away and his dragon replaced it, roaring loudly.
"Yes!" Sophia said happily.
"That's not all!" Kaiba said. "I'll then activate this, Descent of White Dragon!"
"Alright, two Blue Eyes for the price of one..." Genesis said.
"By sacrificing Vorse Raider from my hand, I'll bring forth Knight of White Dragon! (1900/2000)" Kaiba announced as a knight riding dragon appeared on the field. "I'll then activate its effect by sacrificing it to bring forth my second Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)"
Suddenly a second Blue Eyes White Dragon appeared, taking lace of Kaiba's Knight of White Dragon and joining it with his first Blue Eyes White Dragon.
"But too bad this one can't attack, but I'll take good use for my first one. Now! Blue Eyes White Dragon! Destroy his Antique Gear Beast!" Kaiba commanded, pointing forward.
The dragon snapped and fired its ball of white lightning toward the mechanical wolf, causing it to explode with gears and springs. Irona growled shielding himself from the blast as his life points reduced to 1000.
"My turn ends..." Kaiba announced, completely out of cards.
"What a shame, Seto Kaiba, wasting all your cards when, fortunately for me, getting my strongest monster." Irona chuckled, drawing his next card.
"Heh, my Blue Eyes is all I need to defeat scum of the earth like you." Kaiba said, crossing his arms.
"Well, this scum of the earth will finally get a piece of you." Irona laughed. "Now! Activate magic card, Cost Down!"
"Here it goes..." Kaiba thought.
"With this all levels of monsters in my hand decrease by two, so now! I sacrifice my defending Antique Gear Soldier to summon this! Antique Gear Golem! (3000/2500)" Irona announced as a giant mechanical giant appeared on the field.
"So what, this monster has the same amount of attack points as my own Blue Eyes..." Kaiba said.
"Yes, but mine comes with a defining effect!" Irona shouted. "Next, I activate this magic card Stop Attack allowing me to shift one of your Blue Eyes White Dragons to defense mode! (2500/3000)"
Kaiba watched as his first Blue Eyes was forced to the ground, shielding itself with its wings. "No..." Kaiba growled.
"Now! Antique Gear Golem, destroy his Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Irona announced, pointing. The mechanical giant lifted its heavy fist up, and smashed the dragon. "The effect of my Antique Gear Beast deals damage to your life points even if your monster is in defense mode."
"Err..." Kaiba growled as his life points reduced to 1100.
"I'll set one more card face down and end my turn!" Irona announced.
"Draw!" Kaiba announced, drawing his card, the only card in his hand. "Like all the others, I won't be able to activate any of my trap or magic cards when that thing attacks... But I have a plan..."
"First, I activate Pot of Greed!" Kaiba announced, drawing his two new cards
Kaiba looked at the card he held. "Now! I activate this, Raise Dead! Which I use to bring back Knight of White Dragon! (1900/2000)" Kaiba announced as the same white knight riding dragon appeared. "Then use its effect to sacrifice my Knight of White Dragon to summon my last Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)"
Kaiba's last dragon formed on the field, roaring as it flapped its tremendous wings. "Why bother doing this when you could've summoned one freely and destroy me..." Irona smirked. "Or is it my trap card that makes you fear me..."
"I fear nothing of you, Irona..." Kaiba said. "Now! Blue Eyes White Dragon! Attack his Antique Gear Golem!"
Irona smiled. "Antique Gear Golem, attack his monster also!" Irona said as the two monsters charged. With equal power, the two monsters clashed and both exploded in their own attacks.
"Because I can't attack with my other Blue Eyes, I end my turn." Kaiba announced.
"Draw..." Irona announced, smiling at his new card. "Now! I too activate my own Raise Dead! And I use this to bring back my Antique Gear Golem! (3000/2500) That's not all, I have another Block Attack! Which I activate now!"
Irona laughed evilly as his giant machine formed and Kaiba's Blue Eyes was once again forced to the ground, guarding itself with its wings. "Now! Antique Gear Golem, destroy his last pathetic Blue Eyes!"
The machine charged forward, thrusting its fist through the dragon and destroying it. Kaiba shielded himself from the punch as his life points reduced to 600. "Heh, Seto Kaiba you're a pathetic man! I'm pleased to be so close to defeating you here right now!" Irona laughed.
"Don't be too sure..." Kaiba smirked.
"My turn ends..." Irona announced. "Why do you seem happy when you're at the brink of losing..."
"Because you fell into my strategy so easily you weak minded fool..." Kaiba smirked.
"Huh?" Irona said, feeling a bit uneasy by Kaiba's words.
"I purposely let you destroy my Blue Eyes, because I've been saving this one card! And now I activate, Mega Fuse!" Kaiba announced. "You were too focused on defeating me you probably forgot who you were even dueling against!"
"No!" Irona gasped.
"By activation, I remove all three of my Blue Eyes White Dragons from my graveyard, so I may summon this!" Kaiba announced as a swirl of clouds formed behind him. Sophia and Genesis looked in awe as Kaiba rose his finger in the air as the three headed dragon began to arise. "My Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! (4500/3800)"
"No! This can't be happening!" Irona said in shock.
"Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, crush his puny Antique Gear Golem!" Kaiba hollered, pointing down at Irona.
The three headed dragon each blasted their own lightning blast, striking Irona's Antique Gear Golem, turning it into a pile of gadgets and springs.
Irona looked in horror as his life points reduced to 0. "You lose my friend, and get out of my school!" Kaiba shouted, pointing at him.
Irona made a run for it, but as he got to the stairs outside, there was a row of cops ready to take him out. Irona finally gave in and let them take him.
They shoved Irona into the back of a van where Vulcan was held captive. "Ha! Nice job, loser." Vulcan laughed.
"What are you talking about, you lost too." Irona snapped.
"Whatever..." Vulcan grumbled.
Kaiba walked down the stairs with Sophia and Genesis close by. "Get everyone off the island now! This is an emergency lock down. Leave the students behind, we must get off this island now!"
