61. Ghost Ryder VS Genesis, Trapped in Hellvania!
"Did you hear! Harem and Pulce were working for the rare hunter who stole the Lux Gods!" Sophia said to Genesis.
"What! No way!" Genesis said, putting down her fork.
"it's true! Kyu and Hide sent them both home..." Sophia said.
"Damn them! Why do they get all the credit for doing this crap... We're suppose to work as a team, not just take all the fame!" Genesis said, standing. She started walking toward Kyu where Hide and Yukie sat also.
"Listen up, Kyu-Haru... Just because you have a Lux God doesn't mean you get to do all the fun stuff..." Genesis said. "Save some duels for us!"
"Heh heh..." Yukie said as a sweat drop formed on her head and Hide's.
"What!" Sophia and Genesis both said.
"Well... I hate to say it... But are you sure you're up to it?" Kyu asked. "It's not easy, that's all I'm saying..."
"Kyu! You must be one of the dumbest boys I know! It isn't too hard! We're expert duelist!" Genesis said.
"Expert?" Hide questioned.
"Argh..." Genesis said, stomping off.
Suddenly Ghost Ryder stepped into the cafeteria. "Oh good! Food!" He said, running over to the buffet. "Wow!"
"Hey! Who do you think you are, Osiris Red boy..." A student said behind him.
"Osiris Red? Do I even look like I go to this school?" Ryder said.
"No, but you better not be eating here, people like you are despised here!" The student said, pushing the boy aside.
"Heh..." Ryder said, backing off.
"Hey, is that who I think it is?" Hide said, pointing over. "Ghost Ryder!"
"Holy cow!" Kyu said, looking at him. "Ryder, what are you doing here?"
Ghost Ryder looked over at Kyu and his friends. "Kyu-Haru!" Ryder said, running over, his long blue shredded scarf flailing. "You guys look like you're having a blast..."
"Yeah, what brings you here?" Hide asked as Ryder said down next to him.
"Just feeling a bit hungry..." He said, snatching Hide's plate and eating off of it.
"Well.. We're happy to share..." Kyu said, cocking his head.
"Hey, any of you guys seen a kid with a Lux God or something?" Ryder asked.
"Yeah, why..." Kyu said, feeling a bit suspicious.
"Von Bourg sent me back to go beat that kid up and snag that card from him, I dunno why..." Ryder said.
"So you're one of The Killer 9!" Yukie said loudly. Suddenly Sophia and Genesis turned their heads.
"Yeah, why the big deal?" Ryder asked.
"Ryder, Kyu has the god card..." Hide said.
"Sweet! Now I don't even have to go looking!" Ryder said happily.
"Ryder don't you even remember the last time we dueled... I thought you had a change of heart and join the good side?" Kyu said.
"Hey, I only told you I'd think about it. I have and I still want to be on Von Bourg's side, just not as a Rare Hunter..." Ryder said. "So, Kyu-Haru, up for a rematch, or do I have to force you into a duel..."
Kyu and Ryder stood, facing each other. "Ryder you're making another big mistake. I thought you changed..." Kyu said.
"Meh, whatever..." Ryder said.
"Ghost Ryder!" Sophia and Genesis both yelled. Ghost Ryder whipped around to see Sophia and Genesis.
"What?" Ryder said, annoyingly.
"You still proud of that little moment when you took Sophia's soul!" Genesis said with a furious look.
"Eh, kinda..." Ryder smirked.
"You're trash! Like all the other Rare Hunters..." Genesis growled. "I want to duel you now! To make you pay for what you did to Sophia!"
Sophia stood high next to Genesis as she got her duel disk ready. "Ok..." Ryder smiled, taking out his duel disk. "But if I win, Kyu forfeits his Lux God to me..."
"Fine..." Genesis growled.
"Hey wait!" Kyu said.
Both Genesis and Ryder's duel disks folded out and they both slid their decks in. "Duel!" They both announced as their life points rose to 4000.
"Oh man! We're going to lose it!" Hide said, panicking.
"Let's just see what happens..." Yukie said.
It was unusual for people to start a duel right in the middle of the cafeteria, but it was a crowd pleaser. Everyone was gathered around, watching Genesis and Ghost Ryder to duke it out.
"I'll go, draw!" Ryder announced, drawing his first card of six. "I'll start by activating this field magic..."
An extra slot for Ryder's duel disk popped out. "I activate Immortal Kingdom, Hellvania!" Ryder announced as a sudden rumbling stirred the crowd. Suddenly a giant gothic castle rose up and thunder and lightning clashed.
"Ack!" Genesis said. "I have no idea what that does..."
"That's what puts me at the advantage." Ryder smiled. "Next, I'll summon Earthbound Spirit in defense mode! (2000/500)"
"Heh..." Genesis said as a mud creature formed on the field.
"Finally, I'll set one card down and end my turn." Ryder announced.
"Draw!" Genesis announced, drawing her next card. "Now! I activate this magic card, Cost Down! By its effect, all levels of monsters in my hand are reduced by two! Now I can summon this monster, Diabound Lady! (1800/1200)"
Suddenly a woman appeared on the field with the lower body of a snakes upper body. "Then I activate this magic card, Snake's Bite!"
"And what does that do..." Ryder said, bored.
"By sacrificing half of Diabound Lady's attack strength, I can destroy your Earthbound Spirit!" Genesis smiled evilly as her monster's attack strength reduced to 900. Suddenly Diabound Lady's snake head acted, charging at Ryder's Earthbound Spirit and chomping down on it, leaving his monster field blank. "Now! Diabound Lady, attack his life points directly!"
The snake woman formed her hands together, creating a ball of fire then blasting it to Ryder. Ryder growled, throwing back the pain as his life points reduced to 3100.
"I'll set one card face down and end my turn..." Genesis announced.
"Draw!" Ryder announced. "Now! I activate Immortal Kingdom Hellvania!"
"Eh?" Kyu said.
"By discarding an undead monster from my hand, I'll be able to destroy all monsters on the field!" Ryder announced, sending a card to his graveyard. Suddenly Genesis' Diabound Lady vanished.
"No!" Genesis gasped.
"Now! Activate face down card Call of The Haunted!" Ryder announced as his trap card flipped up. "By this card's effect, I can bring back one monster from my graveyard, and I chose the card I just discarded! Vampire Lord! (2000/1500)"
"My magic card caught me at a tight spot since I activated it's effect, I can't normal summon a monster this turn, but I can still take out half of your life points." Ryder smiled as the slick vampire appeared. "Now! Vampire Lord, attack her life points directly!"
The vampire sent a wave of bats, hitting Genesis pretty hard. Genesis' hair flailed as she fell backwards but quickly got up, dusting herself off as her life points reduced to 2000.
"Come on Genesis!" Sophia cheered.
"And Vampire Lord's special effect is activated! It allows me to chose a type of card and force you to discard the type of card I chose from your deck!" Ryder said, pointing. "So go ahead and discard a monster card."
Genesis took out her deck, discarding her Eye of Kyutora. "I'll set one last card down and end my turn." Ryder announced.
"Draw!" Genesis announced with a growl as she drew her next card. "Now! I activate this, Raise Dead! So I can bring back Diabound Lady! (1800/1200)"
Suddenly the snake woman appeared, hissing at Ryder. Ryder just smirked. "Next, I activate this! Cobra Head!" Genesis announced as her magic card flipped up.
"Cobra Head?" Kyu said.
"One of Genesis' stronger monsters that transforms from the form of Diabound Lady..." Hide said. "I've had experience with this monster..."
"By sacrificing my Diabound Lady, I can special summon this! Lady Kobra Head! (3400/2400)" Genesis announced as a woman with partially scaly skin formed with a lower body replaced with a cobra's upper body. The cobra hissed, causing its neck to flatten out and stretch. "Looks like you're gone because the effect of Lady Kobra Head kicks in!"
"And what does that do?" Ryder said.
"It increases your monsters attack strength by five hundred!" Genesis said as Vampire Lord's attack strength rose to 2500.
"Hmm, I thought the effect was suppose to take your benefit not mine..." Ryder snickered.
"It does because Lady Kobra Head's second ability kicks in! It destroys any monster with an attack of twenty five hundred or higher!" Genesis laughed as Vampire Lord suddenly keeled over in pain and exploded.
"Also, because a monster was destroyed due to my monster's effect, we both lose one hundred life points!" Genesis said as her life points reduced to 1900 and Ryder's to 3000.
"Heh..." Ryder chuckled.
"Why are you so happy..." Genesis hissed.
"Attack me and find out." Ryder smiled.
"Fine then, if you want to lose so badly! Lady Kobra Head, attack his life points directly and win this duel for me!" Genesis commanded, pointing her hand forward.
"Activate trap card!" Ryder announced with a wild sensation. "Dead Dragon Zoma!"
"What!" Genesis suddenly said in panic.
"By this trap cards effect, it brings up Dead Dragon Zoma! (0/0)" Ryder announced as a black dragon appeared with defining red eyes. "And by its effect, it gains attack points equal to your monsters but doubled!"
"No way!" Kyu, Hide, and Yukie gasped as Dead Dragon Zoma's attack strength rose to 6800.
"And since your monster is about to attack it, you'll automatically lose the duel." Ryder smiled.
"Heh, that's where you're wrong!" Genesis smiled. "Activate magic card, Shrink!"
"Yes!" Hide said.
"This'll reduce your Dead Dragon Zoma's attack by half! Making our monsters equal!" Genesis said as Ryder's monster reduced to 3400. Lady Kobra Head and Dead Dragon Zoma clashed until each monsters exploded for having equal power, leaving both player's monster field empty.
"The advantage is on me now..." Ryder laughed. "You have no other card in your hand and no face down cards."
"He's right..." Yukie said sadly.
"My turn, draw!" Ryder announced. "And due to the effect of my Vampire Lord, whenever he's destroyed by my opponent's card effect, he returns to the field!"
"No!" Genesis gasped.
"Now go! Vampire Lord! (2000/1500)" Ryder announced as his vampire returned to the field. "My castle Hellvania came in good notice to bring you to this level so now! Vampire Lord, attack her life points directly!"
The vampire sent a wave of bats toward Genesis, they flew all around her and Genesis thrashed, screaming high pitched due to the nasty creatures. Her life points reduced to 0 as the bats flew back to Vampire Lord and the holograms died down.
"Thanks a lot Genesis! Thanks to you, the whole world is going to be destroyed!" Sophia said as everyone walked away but Kyu, Hide, and Yukie.
Ryder smiled, walking to Kyu. "I think you owe me something..." Ryder smiled greedily.
Kyu took the card out of his pocket, giving Ryder the Lux God. Ryder smiled, holding the card. "Well I'd like to leave now, but I'm on an island and the daily mail boat doesn't come until tomorrow." Ryder said. "So I guess I'm stuck with you guys for a while."
"No way! How could you have beaten me!" Genesis complained. "I had it all!"
"Umm, let's see, you just suck at this game I guess." Ryder laughed. Genesis turned red and stomped off.
"What do we do now?" Yukie asked as Ryder walked off.
"Yeah, we've lost and we can't get it back..." Hide sighed.
"Maybe I could try and declare a rematch..." Kyu said.
"Are you sure? What if he doesn't accept?" Yukie asked.
"Ryder's the kind of person who can't let down a challenge that's for sure..." Kyu said. "I'll see to it that we get back the Lux God..."
PREVIEW
