60. The Trickiest Deck


"My turn, draw!" Kyu announced, drawing his next card. They both stood up at the Obelisk Blue Main Dueling Arena where other Obelisk Blue students sat, especially Yukie and Doxx, along with Violet.

"Hmm Hide seems to have Kyu at a bind..." Doxx said.

Hide smiled, his life points standing at 1500 while Kyu's at 600. Hide had his Silent Swordsman Level 5 on the field (3500/3500).

Kyu only had Y Dragon Head (1600/1500) and Z Metal Caterpillar (1300/500) on the field. Kyu smiled at the last card in his hand.

"What's it going to be?" Hide smiled. "My Silent Swordsman can easily take down your two monsters!"

"Hide! You play a bad villain!" Kyu laughed. "But I do have something to win!"

"Uh..." Hide said.

"Now! I shift Z Metal Caterpillar to attack mode! (1500/1300)" Kyu announced as the tank's cannons pointed forward. "Then I sacrifice my Y Dragon Head to summon KC Tank Missiles! (0/0)"

"No!" Hide gasped.

"Now I'll equip KC Tank Missiles to Z Metal Caterpillar, increasing it's attack strength by five hundred!" Kyu said as the two large missiles appeared on the tank's smaller cannons, increasing its attack strength to 2000. "But that's not all! By the effect of Tank Missiles, I can sacrifice it to destroy one monster on your field! And I chose your Silent Swordsman Level 5!"

Suddenly the missiles dissolved away and Hide's warrior exploded into digital pieces. "Agh!" He said, shielding himself.

"Now! Z Metal Caterpillar, attack his life points directly!" Kyu commanded, pointing forward.

Hide shielded himself as the small tank blasted two small missiles at Hide reducing his life points to 0. "Well played!" Yukie cheered.

"Man, I'll never get as good as you..." Hide groaned.

"Don't worry Hide, just keep at it!" Kyu said. Hide and Kyu stepped down the arena, meeting up with their friends.

"Yeah! With our mad skills, the Killer 9 won't be able to stop us!" Doxx said.

"Speak for yourself..." Violet said, pointing at the hall way.

Everyone looked over to see Harem coming in. "Harem!" Kyu said.

"Kyu-Haru! Your time is up, I challenge you to a duel! Winner take all!" Harem said, jumping up to the duel arena. "I must take revenge on what you did to Pulce..."

"Harem, you've joined the bad guys, and good guys always win against the bad guys!" Kyu said.

"We'll see about that!" Harem said, revealing his custom duel disk. It was blue spiral up onto his arm, just like Pulce's but with monster card slots.

"Wait..." Hide said. "Kyu let me face him!"

"What? Why?" Kyu said.

"Kyu, you've been getting all the credit for this stuff, let me atleast send one of these guys home..." Hide said, excited.

"Heh, ok..." Kyu said. "Change of plans, Harem, Hide will be dueling you!"

"Ryou Hide?" Harem said. "What's the matter, Kyu-Haru, too scared to face me?"

"No, I'm just letting my friends have some fun." Kyu smiled as Hide jumped up.

"Fine then! Are you ready, squirt?" Harem said as Hide jumped up.

"Yeah!" Hide said as his duel disk folded out while Harem's turned on.

"Duel!" Harem and Hide announced as their life points rose to 4000.

"I'll go, draw!" Hide said, drawing his first card. "I'll summon Big Shield Guardna in defense mode! (2600/100) I'll then set one card face down and end my turn!"

"Draw!" Harem announced, eager to crush Hide. "Now! I discard one card from my hand, so I can special summon this! The Tricky! (2000/1200)"

"Harem's personal monster..." Hide thought as the magical warrior appeared on the field.

"Then I summon this, Hell Soldier! (1200/1000)" Harem announced as the death warrior appeared. "Tricky, attack his Big Shield Guardna!"

"What! Why would he attack!" Yukie said.

Suddenly the warrior dove forward, slashing at Hide's warrior, but because if its big shield, it did no damage. Harem smiled as his life points reduced to 3400.

"And because I attacked your Big Shield Gaurdna, it shifts into attack mode..." Harem smiled as the warrior stood up.

"Darn..." Hide growled.

"Well that explains it..." Yukie said.

"Hell Soldier, attack his Big Shield Guardna now!" Harem hollered, pointing his finger forward. Suddenly the warrior jumped up, raising its sword over its head, then slashing down on the warrior, causing it to explode into pieces.

Hide growled as his life points reduced to 2900. "I'll place one card face down and end my turn..." Harem announced.

"Draw!" Hide announced, drawing his two cards. "Awesome, always get this when I need it..."

Hide smiled at the card he drew. "Now! Since you have two monsters and I have none, I can special summon this without sacrifices! Go Fiend Megacyber! (2200/1200)" Hide announced as a armored warrior appeared, dressed in a long robe.

"Err..." Harem growled.

"Now! Fiend Megacyber, destroy his Tricky!" Hide commanded, pointing forward as the warrior dove forward, thrusting his arm out.

"Reveal trap card, The Tricky's Descent!" Harem announced as his trap card flipped up. "By this card's effect, your attack is switched to my Hell Soldier!"

"Argh!" Hide gasped as the fiend megacyber switched directions, crushing Harem's Hell Soldier with one punch.

Harem smiled as his life points reduced to 2400. "But due to my Hell Soldier's effect, you lose the same amount of damage I lose!" Harem smiled as Hell Soldier's sword appeared in mid air, pointing at Hide.

"Ack!" Hide said as the sword pierced through him. Hide fell to his knee, clutching his chest in pain as his life points reduced to 1900.

"My turn ends..." Hide announced with no other move.

"Draw!" Harem announced, drawing the fourth card of his hand. He smiled deviously at it. "Now! Activate magic card, Magical Duplication Dice!"

"What's that!" Hide said.

"By sacrificing half of my life points (LP: 1200) I'll be able to roll a dice, and depending on the number of the dice, I can duplicate my monster by that much!" Harem smiled.

"No way!" Yukie said.

"But Hide's Fiend Megacyber is stronger than his Tricky..." Doxx said, a bit confused.

"Now go! Magical Duplication Dice!" Harem hollered, pointing forward. Suddenly the magic card hologram shot out a dice, spinning in mid air. Then it fell, rolling, then landing on a five.

"So now! My field will be covered with the same monster!" Harem said wildly as his Tricky suddenly duplicated into four more versions of itself. "It seems very confusing to you all, why I've done this when Ryou Hide has a perfectly stronger monster..."

"So why not fill us in with your plan!" Kyu said.

"I will... I may not be able to perform Battle Phase since I used my Magical Duplication Dice, but I can still play this..." Harem said, revealing his other magic card.

"No way! Brave Attack..." Hide gasped.

"That's right, I've gotten my Brave Attack, and with this I'll definitely win the duel!" Harem laughed. "Now! Tricky's attack his Fiend Megacyber and win me the duel!"

The five Tricky's began to glow and they both charged forward in an arrow shape, ready to take down Fiend Megacyber. Harem smiled. "I'll be the one getting all the credit once I give Von Bourg the Lux God..." He smiled.

Suddenly a giant shield appeared, growing bigger, causing the Tricky's to crash into it. "What's that!" Harem gasped.

"I've activated my trap card, Megacyber Shield!" Hide announced, smiling. "This card negates any attacks on my Fiend Megacyber for one turn, but it also lets me special summon a level 4 or lower monster from my hand!"

"No..." Harem growled.

"Now! I bring forth Swordsman of Landstar! (500/1200)" Hide announced.

"Errr.. I'll set my last card down and end my turn..." Harem announced, now with nothing in his hand.

"Draw!" Hide announced, drawing his fourth card. "Awesome..."

Hide looked at the card he drew and Kyu could sense some great strength was in Harem's way. "Now! I sacrifice my Swordsman of Landstar and Fiend Megacyber so I can summon this..." Hide went on as his two warriors vanished. "The Creator! (2300/3000)"

Suddenly the ground began to rumble and a giant red brute rose up behind Hide, his arms crossed and looking down at Harem. "What is that!" Harem said.

"This is The Creator, one of my rarest cards..." Hide said. "Once per turn I can discard a card from my hand, and special summon a monster from my graveyard!"

"Heh..." Harem said.

"Now! I send one card to my graveyard..." Hide went on, sliding one of his monster cards to his graveyard. "So I can bring back Fiend Megacyber! (2200/12000)"

Suddenly the yellow armored warrior materialized back to the field. "Now! The Creator, Fiend Megacyber, destroy one of his Tricky monsters!" Hide commanded.

The Fiend Megacyber dove forward, punching through the warrior, causing it to explode into digital pieces, reducing Harem's life points to 1000. Then The Creator rose its two giant arms up, then came crashing down on one of Harem's monsters, destroying it easily and reducing his life points to 700.

"No..." Harem growled.

"My turn ends!" Hide announced.

"Draw!" Harem announced, drawing the first card in his hand. "Now! I activate this, Treasure of Heaven! Forcing us both to draw until we each have six cards!"

Hide and Harem quickly drew, making six cards in their hands. "And now! You might remember this great warrior!" Harem laughed. "I sacrifice one of my Tricky's so I can summon this, Ultimate Trick Master! (500/300)"

"No!" Hide gasped.

"I'm sure now you can destroy this beast..." Harem laughed as a warrior appeared, it had the similar appearance as The Tricky, but with a more devastating look. "This guy gains an additional five hundred attack points for each card in your hand! But lucky me, since I gave you cards..."

"That makes a total of three thousand attack points..." Hide growled as his Ultimate Trick Master grew to 3000.

"Now what to do, what to do... I could take a chunk out of your Life Points, or I could take out your strongest monster..." Harem smiled. "But making you go down is what I'm here for! Ultimate Trick Master, destroy his Fiend Megacyber!"

The warrior dove forward, blades sprouted from its arms and the warrior slashed Hide's warrior into pieces, reducing Hide's life points to 1100.

"Hang in there, Hide!" Kyu cheered.

"Heh... My turn ends..." Harem announced.

Hide drew his next card. "You made a bad decision, Harem..." Hide said.

"What?" Harem responded.

"You may have taken a chunk out of my Life Points by destroying my Fiend Megacyber, but your main target should have been my Creator, mainly because of its effect!" Hide smiled.

"Now he's thinking like a real duelist!" Doxx said.

"Let's just hope he can be one..." Violet said.

"Now! I activate my monster's special ability!" Hide announced, throwing his hand back. "By discarding one card from my hand, I'll bring back Guilford The Lightning! (2800/1400)"

"Whoa! Guilford The Lightning? I don't remember you even playing that!" Kyu said.

"How can you do this!" Harem said as the mighty warrior rose up, wielding its electrified sword.

"When I used my monster's special ability the first time..." Hide smiled deviously. "I had to discard one card, so I chose my Guilford The Lightning!"

"Oh! So you can summon it on your next turn! Good thinking!" Kyu said.

"Yeah, so now that I've brought up my Guilford The Lightning, his special effect takes place! Destroying all monsters on the field!" Hide smiled as a bolt of lightning struck his last Tricky and his Ultimate Trick Master, causing them to explode.

"No!" Harem growled.

"And with no other cards, you're free for attack! Guilford The Lightning, attack his life points directly!" Hide commanded, pointing forward.

The warrior charged forward, his sword flashing with electricity as it slashed up at Harem. Harem let out a wail as he flew backwards, his life points reducing to 0.

"You've lost, Harem!" Kyu said. "Now get out of our school!"

"And tell your boss that we plan to get the Lux Gods back!" Doxx shouted as Harem ran off.

"You did good Hide..." Kyu said, patting him on the back as he came down from the arena.

"Yeah, thanks." Hide smiled. "I guess I can do it if I just try..."
