63. Doxx VS Vulcan, Flaming Wrath


Doxx sat with Violet at a table, eating lunch. "So how's class going for you..." Violet asked, prodding her salad.

"Alright... My parents sent me a letter, looks like I'll be taking summer school after all." Doxx said.

"Heh, you won't be alone this time." Violet said.

"So why are we here?" Yukie asked, going with Kyu to the Ra Yellow cafeteria door.

"Doxx said we needed to be here early so we can get some good study time." Kyu said, stopping in front of the door.

"Why isn't Hide with us?" Yukie asked.

"Hide's busy making a resume he can submit for Kaiba Corporation." Kyu said. "Anyways, we need this for final exams."

As Kyu began to push the door open, a metal gate flew up, locking them out. "What the! What'd you do?" Yukie said, jumping from the rattling of the metal gate.

"Nothing!" Kyu said.

"Well Kyu and Yukie should be here any moment." Doxx said, getting up. "I'll see you later."

"See ya." Violet said as Doxx walked off.

There was a small crowd in front of the main exits. "What's wrong?" Doxx asked.

"The doors locked..." A Ra Yellow student replied.

"Did you try the other exits?" Doxx asked.

"Those are locked too." The student said, pushing against the door.

"Why would they have a lock down now without warning?" Doxx wondered.

Suddenly there was a high pitched "Yeehaw!" and a motor running loudly. Suddenly a harley davidson jumped through the sky light, crashing down onto a table and breaking into pieces. The rider sat upon it, looking around. He wore a leather jacket with a stained white shirt and blue jeans with a bunch of chains hanging off.

"What the!" Violet said, standing as the man revved up his engine and took off toward Violet's direction.

"Violet! Watch out!" Doxx called out but suddenly she was picked up and tossed back behind the rider.

He then began riding in circles, thrashing all the tables and table wear, causing food and glass to fly everywhere.

The students screams filled the cafeteria as they ran around avoiding the motorcyclist. The man stopped, getting off and quickly tying a chain around Violet, keeping her still.

"Let me go!" Violet screamed, thrashing around.

"Lay still, babe, you're mine now." The voice said as he took off his helmet.

"Vulcan!" Violet said.

"Yeah, what of it..." Vulcan smirked as he got out his duel disk. "Now! I suggest all you little smarty ass students fork over your decks. I've got some collections to make."

"Let Violet go!" Doxx burst, standing up.

"Hey... I remember you..." Vulcan said, pointing at Doxx.

"And I remember you as well! You're working for Von Bourg, you must be one of The Killer 9 I suspect!" Doxx said.

"What the hell are the Killer 9?" Vulcan laughed. "Damn, Von Bourg must have ditched me..."

"Besides, weren't you taken to jail?" Doxx said.

"Hell yeah I was! But thanks to my rare hunter friends, they helped me out. Now I'm seeking some revenge and some rare cards!" Vulcan laughed.

"So what will it take to let Violet go and leave?" Doxx asked.

"Fork over ever rare card all these pathetic students have, then I'll think about it." Vulcan smirked.

"Oh, I thought it was the Rare Hunters code to duel first then ask questions later." Doxx smiled.

"You want to duel? Well I'll be happy to show a little Ra Yellow student what I'm made of." Vulcan smiled as his duel disk folded out.

"Alright!" Doxx said as he slid on his duel disk, causing it to fold out. "This will give us enough time for Seto Kaiba to call out his guards..."

"Duel!" Doxx and Vulcan announced as both their life points rose to 4000.

"What happened in there?" Yukie asked, listening up through the door.

"Don't know, but it sounds bad. We should go tell Seto Kaiba now!" Kyu said with a worried expression, both took off instantly.

Vulcan smiled evilly while Doxx glare at Vulcan. "I'll start, draw!" Vulcan announced, drawing his first card. "I'll summon Flame Soldier in attack mode! (1700/1000) I'll then set one card face down and end my turn!"

"He'll expect me to attack that... And that I will." Doxx said, looking at the armored warrior dressed in red, then drawing his first card. "Now! I summon Spear Dragon! (1900/0)"

"Now! Attack and destroy his Flame Solider!" Doxx commanded, pointing forward.

The dragon launched itself, spiraling as it pierced through Vulcan's warrior, destroying it easily, reducing his life points to 3800.

"Activate trap card!" Vulcan announced with an evil smile. "Closing The Gates of Hell!"

"What!" Doxx gasped.

"With this trap, I can bring back Flame Soldier! But it'll be in defense position (1000/1700)." Vulcan smiled.

"I'll set one card and end my turn. And due to the effect of Spear Dragon, it moves into defense mode during the turn it attacked (0/1900)" Doxx explained as the dragon lowered down to the ground, shielding it with its wings.

"Draw..." Vulcan announced, drawing his next card. "Now! I switch Flame Soldier into attack mode! (1700/1000) Then I'll summon this, Blue Flame Swordsman! (1800/1600)"

Suddenly a warrior dressed in blue armor materialized to the wield, wielding a blue sword. "But that's not all!" Vulcan smiled. "I'll also add this to the table, Salamandra!"

"Ack!" Doxx said.

"I'll use this to equip to my Blue Flame Swordsman! Increasing his attack strength by seven hundred!" Vulcan laughed as his swordsman's blue sword erupted into flames, increasing its attack strength to 2500. "Now! Flame Solider, destroy his Spear Dragon!"

"No..." Doxx said.

"You wanted a duel, you got one! Unfortunately for you, this duel will be short!" Vulcan laughed as the armored soldier dove forward, ready to strike down onto Doxx's dragon.

Suddenly a red barrier flew up, blocking off the attack, sending Flame Soldier back to Vulcan's side of the field. "What just happened!" Vulcan gasped.

"I activate my trap card! Defensive Wall!" Doxx said as his trap card stood high. "With this trap, you won't be able to attack any of my defending monsters!"

"Lucky you." Vulcan smirked, clenching his fist. "I'll place one card face down and end my turn!"

"Draw!" Doxx announced, drawing his next card. "Now I activate this! Wingbeat of Dragon Army!"

"What's that..." Vulcan said without care.

"With this, I can sacrifice my Spear Dragon so I can summon any other dragon from my hand!" Doxx said, taking the next card in his hand. "Now! I bring up Tyrant Dragon! (2900/2500)"

"Err..." Vulcan growled as the tremendous dragon lifted up from the ground behind Doxx, flapping its wings and creating gusts of wind.

"Now! Tyrant Dragon, destroy his Flame Soldier!" Doxx commanded, pointing forward. The dragon charged forward, bashing through the soldier, reducing Vulcan's life points to 3300.

"Err..." Vulcan growled, clenching his fists.

"And now! Tyrant Dragon's effect activates, each time I destroy a monster with Tyrant Dragon, I can attack again if you still have a monster on the field!" Doxx said. "Tyrant Dragon, destroy his Blue Flame Swordsman!"

The dragon opened its mouth, spewing fire all around the swordsman, causing him to explode in digital pieces, reducing Vulcan's life points to 2200.

"Blue Flame Swordsman's effect is activated." Vulcan said with a growl-ish tone. "Once destroyed, I can special summon Flame Swordsman (1800/1600)"

Suddenly a warrior similar to Blue Flame Swordsman, materialized to the field, wielding a long orange sword.

"I'll set one card face down and end my turn." Doxx announced.

"My turn, draw!" Vulcan announced, drawing his fourth card, then smiling. "Looks like you'll be going down hill from now!"

"What?" Doxx said, questioning his statement.

"I sacrifice my Flame Swordsman so I can summon this! Balrog! (1500/1000)" Vulcan announced as his swordsman vanished in a swirl of fire, then replaced with a giant demon creature, wielding a long sword made up of fire.

"That is way too weak of a level six monster. It must have a devastating effect..." Doxx thought as a drop of sweat came down his head.

"I see you can't take the heat." Vulcan smirked. "Balrog's special effect gives itself an additional five hundred attack points for each fire monster on the field. I should thank you because your Tyrant Dragon is already a fire monster to begin with."

"No..." Doxx growled as Balrog's attack strength rose to 2000.

"But now! I'll activate this, Awakened By Fire!" Vulcan announced as his magic card materialized to the field.

"What's that!" Doxx said.

"With this, I can reduce the attack of your Tyrant Dragon by how ever many attack points my Balrog has!" Vulcan smiled as Tyrant Dragon's attack strength reduced to 900. "That's just enough to defeat it."

"No!" Doxx gasped.

"Balrog, destroy his Tyrant Dragon!" Vulcan commanded, pointing forward. The demon leapt forward, slashing its flaming sword across the dragon.

Doxx growled, jumping back a bit as the flames burned him, reducing his life points to 2900. "But my dragon is still standing..." Doxx said, looking up at his dragon.

"Yes, but the effect of Balrog is activated! Giving me full control of any monster it attacks in battle!" Vulcan laughed menacingly as green vines sprouted from balrog, wrapping around Tyrant Dragon and pulling it to his side of the field.

"No way!" Doxx gasped. "He'll just make an army against me of my own monsters..."

"Also..." Vulcan went on. "Any monster controlled my Balrog instantly becomes a fire monster, but your Tyrant Dragon is already a fire monster."

"So that means your Balrog will just get stronger by each attack it gives." Doxx growled.

"Exactly." Vulcan smiled. "So, I'll set one card face down and my turn ends."

"Draw..." Doxx announced, drawing his second card. "Now! I summon Red Eyes Black Chick! (800/500)"

"Heh." Vulcan said, mocking the baby red eyes black dragon as it crawled out of its shell.

"By its effect, I can sacrifice it to special summon Red Eyes Black Dragon! (2400/2200)" Doxx announced as the baby dragon vanished, replaced by a tremendous glistening black dragon with devilish red eyes. "I'll diminish the core of your strategy! Red Eyes Black Dragon, destroy his Balrog now!"

"Heh, activate trap card!" Vulcan announced. "Flameburg Curse!"

"No..." Doxx gasped.

"With this, your attack is negated, also you won't be able to go into battle on your next turn." Vulcan smiled. "I have you pinned smart boy."

Doxx growled. "My turn ends..." He announced.

"Draw!" Vulcan announced, drawing his fourth card. "Now! Tyrant Dragon, destroy his Red Eyes Black Dragon!"

"I knew you'd take this opportunity!" Doxx smiled.

"What?" Vulcan said, startled.

"Activate trap card, Dragon Mirror!" Doxx announced. "With this, I can sacrifice my Red Eyes Black Dragon to summon Death Glaze, Mirror Dragon! (2000/2300)"

Suddenly Doxx's red eyes vanished before Tyrant Dragon could strike it, and in front of it, a white dragon with a armored plated belly that shined. "And since you declared the attack, my Mirror Dragon reacts to it!" Doxx said.

"No!" Vulcan growled.

"My Death Glaze, Mirror Dragon can't be destroyed by battle, but any damage I gain will be reduced by half." Doxx smiled as his life points reduced to 450. "Also, the attack of Tyrant Dragon is reduced by half.

Vulcan growled as he watched as Tyrant Dragon's attack strength reduced to 1450.

"Heh, so what." Vulcan smiled, taking the next card in his hand. "Now I activate this, Flame Aetonics!"

Suddenly a burst of flames came up on Doxx's side of the field, engulfing his Death Glaze, Mirror Dragon. "What's going on!" He said, shielding himself from the intense flames.

"When Flame Aetonics is activated, it destroys all monsters that aren't fire types." Vulcan smiled as Doxx's dragon exploded. "Also, I can bring back a fire type monster back from my graveyard! So now! Return, Flame Swordsman! (1800/1600)"

"No..." Doxx growled.

"And that being a fire monster, my Balrog gains an additional five hundred attack points!" Vulcan laughed as his demon creature grew to 2500.

"Heh, I'll place a card face down and end my turn..." Vulcan announced with a devious smile.

"Draw.." Doxx announced drawing his next card. "I'll activate this, Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two extra cards from my deck."

Doxx, with now four cards in his hand, smiled, knowing his plan is bullet proof. '"So have we figured out that we can no longer continue?" Vulcan smiled. "Or are you just showing off..."

"Now! I activate this, Raise Dead! So I can bring back my Red Eyes Black Dragon!" Doxx announced as the black dragon re-appeared to the field.

"That's your one big mistake!" Vulcan smiled. "Activate trap card, Invitation to Earth Spirits!"

"No!" Doxx gasped.

"Yes! By this trap card's effect, I can force your Red Eyes Black Dragon to engage in battle with my Balrog!" Vulcan laughed as Doxx's dragon clashed with Vulcan's Balrog.

Balrog easily slashed the dragon with its sword, causing vines to wrap around its body and move to Vulcan's side of the field. "It's mine now!" Vulcan laughed.

"No, he's taken my strongest monsters out so easily..." Doxx growled.

"There's nothing in your deck that can defeat me!" Vulcan laughed.

"We'll see..." Doxx growled, taking his next card. "I'm always down for an alternative plan..."

"What?" Vulcan said.

"Now! Activate magic card, Special Hurricane!" Doxx announced.

"No!" Vulcan said horror.

"Once I discard a card from my hand, I can destroy all special summoned monsters!" Doxx said, sending a card from his hand, to his graveyard. Suddenly a giant tornado appeared, picking up Vulcan's three monsters and destroying them.

"And since there aren't no other fire monsters on the field, your monster loses its extra power bonus!" Doxx said happily as Balrog's attack strength reduced to 1500.

"No way!" Vulcan growled. "But I can still defeat you..."

"I don't think so! The card I discarded to my graveyard was known as Imperial Dragon and once he's been sent to the graveyard, from my hand, I can special summon any level five or higher monster from my hand!" Doxx smiled. "So now! I bring forth Dragon Lancet! (2700/2000)"

"Errr..." Vulcan growled as a metallic blue dragon appeared, it's four wings opening releasing electricity in all directions.

"And now that I'm moving to battle phase, Dragon Lancet's special ability activates! Allowing me to take five hundred attack points from your Balrog and add them to my Dragon Lancet!" Doxx explained as a essence seeped away from Balrog, and replenishing Doxx's dragon, increasing its attack strength to 3200 and Vulcan's Balrog to 1000.

"And that's just enough to bring you down! Dragon Lancet, attack and destroy his Balrog!" Doxx commanded, pointing forward.

The dragon blasted a sphere which contracted electricity, bashing into the demon and destroying it, reducing Vulcan's life points to 0.

"Heh, you may have defeated me, but the girl is mine!" Vulcan smiled looking back at the motorcycle to see nothing. "What!"

Violet stood next to Kyu and Yukie who had freed her. "Kyu-Haru! My arch nemesis!" Vulcan said. "I should have put you out of your misery long before!"

"I think your dueling days are over." Kyu said.

"Yeah we have you cornered." Yukie said, pointing at the army of police officers.

Doxx smiled as he went towards them as the officers rushed in and restrained the struggling Vulcan. You did good, to buy time that is." Kyu smiled.

"Yeah, it was worth it, to save my lovely Violet." Doxx said, laughing.

"Shut up! I could've handled it myself." Violet said, crossing her arms and turning.

"So he wasn't part of the Killer 9?" Kyu asked, Doxx shook his head. "Damn, looks like there still out there, somewhere..."
