71. Bonding Alcohol, Stern Stance of Killer 9
Kyu sat at his desk area, reviewing papers he had gotten back from a while ago. "Wow, I've done good so far..." He said out loud.
"Heh..." Hide said.
The teacher came by handing Kyu a bunch of papers, he found his test he had taken a while ago. "Man... a D..." Kyu groaned, passing the pile of papers.
Hide found his. "Heh wow! A B!" He said handing the papers to Yukie.
"Me too!" Yukie said cheerfully, handing them to Doxx.
Doxx found his and sort of frowned. "What's wrong? You couldn't have gotten a worse grade! It wouldn't be possible! You're so freaken smart!" Kyu said.
Doxx showed them his paper, an A, a perfect A. "What! But you've got the highest grade in class!" Hide said.
"Wrong..." Violet said next to Doxx. "I've got the highest grade in class."
Violet showed her paper, a perfect A+. "I see why you're down." Yukie said.
"Yeah it's like a competition for your and Violet. Doxx is just at the line where Violet is and so you're trying hard to get ahead." Kyu said. "Don't work yourself into a frit."
"Don't worry. Violet's my only inspiration that keeps me going." Doxx smiled. "This is just a small mistake compared to the other stuff I've done."
"Oh really?" Yukie said.
"Big mistakes usually take place in dueling." Doxx said.
Quartz sat at his desk, looking at the two cards. He remembered Yukie handing those two cards to him. "I thought you might want to keep these... They were your friends after all..." Yukie's voice rang in his head.
Quartz looked at the two cards. Sophia and Genesis were on each, their souls trapped with no escape. "What happened to you two..." Quartz thought, his eyes growing small. "It was the Killer 9... I'm sorry, my friends, for being like that..."
Quartz remembered back to when the school was invaded by Rare Hunters, he pushed Sophia and Genesis aside, thinking they were useless. "To be honest... You two were my only friends ever... I shouldn't have treated you guys like that... Please forgive me..." Quartz said, putting down the two cards, covering his eyes with his hand.
The school bell rang and everyone gathered their things, heading out to lunch. Meanwhile, a boat delivering mail sailed up to the docks. A man dressed in a foreign attire turned to the driver. "This is... Duelist Academy?" He asked.
"Yup, I deliver mail here everyday." The driver said as workers began unloading boxes onto the deck. The man stepped down, walking toward the school.
"Good..." The man said to himself, his hood fluttering in the wind as he looked up into the sun.
Doxx walked down the hallway, when suddenly a Ra Yellow came up to him. "Yo Doxx! Nice try on the exam!" The student said, rushing by.
"Thanks!" Doxx smiled, waving.
"He'll never be as good as Violet Brahn..." A group of Obelisk Blue students said as Doxx walked by. Doxx ignored them, but it still bothered him.
"Doxx if you knew what was good for you, you'd join up with the Obelisk Blue! It'll make you a better man!" The student hollered, Doxx rushed away.
A flash back came to him, in his younger days he was just a beginning Ra Yellow student, he was called to Seto Kaiba's office. He stood in front of Kaiba while he sat at his desk. "Doxx, you've exceeded the Ra Yellow rank, I would appreciate it if you moved to Obelisk Blue." Kaiba suggested.
"No..." Doxx said, hanging his head. "I was chosen to be in Ra Yellow. It's my destiny to be here. Why should I change now because Obelisk Blue students are treated better, have better rooms, and eat better food. I'm happy here in Ra Yellow!"
"Your a foolish boy. In life you have to go for what's best, not what destiny's given you. Life isn't that simple." Kaiba said.
"Says what you know... Mutou showed you, didn't he..." Doxx growled.
Doxx snapped back into reality as Kyu looked up at him. "Uhh, you ok?" Kyu asked.
"Yeah, fine, why?" Doxx asked.
"Weeee-eell..." Kyu said. "Yukie suggested you hang onto this..."
Kyu flashed the Lux God to Doxx. "Since you and Quartz are left to face a Killer 9ner, I guess you're the most trustworthy one." Kyu smiled innocently. "I'll see you later!"
Doxx held the card at hand while he watched Kyu walk off. "Well... Looks like I'll be the next to face a Killer 9..." Doxx smiled.
"You, boy!" A voice called behind Doxx.
Doxx turned to see a cloaked man, wielding a duel disk. "Who are you?" Doxx said.
The man smirked, throwing off his cloak. He wore a slick black tux and white tie. "Anjokun... If I'm right that boy just handed you the Lux God..." He said, smiling.
"Your right... I expect your one of the Killer 9..." Doxx smiled.
"You've got that right..." Anjokun smiled, holding up his duel disk. "And I'll duel you for it."
"I thought the Killer 9 members would be more threatening, I don't sense any danger from you..." Doxx said.
"Trust me, the only danger I possess is within my deck." Anjokun smirked, sliding his deck into his deck holster, letting his duel disk fold out, Doxx did the same.
"Duel!" They both announced as their life points rose to 4000.
"I'll begin, draw!" Doxx announced smiling at a certain card. "I'll summon Yeast Dragon in defense mode! (2100/0)"
"Yeast Dragon?" Anjokun thought.
"Once Yeast Dragon's summoned to the field, I can special summon two more Yeast Dragon's to the field! (2x 2100/0)" Doxx announced. "And they each gain four hundred defense points for each other Yeast Dragon on the field!"
Suddenly three brown dragons made up of some kind of liquid material materialized to the field. Suddenly all three puffed up, each of their defense points rising to 2900.
"Heh, you've already created blockade against me..." Anjokun smiled. "That won't help you for long..."
"I'll then set two cards face down and end my turn!" Doxx announced, clenching his fist. "I've been given a chance to protect the Lux God, and I plan to do exactly that..."
"Your plan is soon to fail..." Anjokun smiled. "Draw!"
Doxx narrowed his eyes as Anjokun reviewed his hand. "Now! I summon this, Dark Eyed Illusionist! (1500/1200)"
"Dark Eyed Illusionist? No that means you must have that type of strategy..." Doxx growled, looking at the one eyed creature, his long purple cape flailing within the wind.
"Exactly..." Anjokun smiled. "Now! I activate this permanent magic card, Chakra's Eyes!"
Suddenly Anjokun's Dark Eyed Illusionist began double. "During each of my Main Phases, I can summon one Dark Eyed Illusionist..." He smiled. "I've just created one Dark Eyed Illusionist (1500/1200), but more will come."
"Too bad for you because you'll only have three." Doxx smiled.
"That's a problem I've fixed..." Anjokun smiled. "I'll set one other card face down and end my turn."
"Draw!" Doxx announced, drawing his next card. "Now! I sacrifice my two Yeast Dragons so I can summon this, Barrel Dragon! (2600/2200)"
As the two Yeast Dragons vanished, Doxx's remaining Yeast Dragon shrunk back to its normal size, its defense points reducing back to 2100.
"I may have given up my great defenses, but my dragon comes with a promising effect..." Doxx smiled as his mechanical dragon appeared, wielding two barrel guns and one on it's head. "I activate Barrel Dragon's effect now!"
Suddenly three coins appeared on the field. "Once I get the result of these three coins, I can destroy one of your monsters on the field if I get two heads or more!" Doxx smiled as the three coins began to spin.
One came to a stop, landing on tails. "Come on..." Doxx thought.
The second on heads, the last one began to slow down, the tension grew for Doxx but Anjokun remained calm. The final one stopped, landing on heads.
"Yeah! Now say bye to your Dark Eyed Illusionist!" Doxx said, pointing. Anjokun shielded himself as one of his Dark Eyed Illusionist exploded in front of him.
"Heh..." He said.
"And now! Barrel Dragon, attack and destroy his last Dark Eyed Illusionist!" Doxx commanded, pointing.
The dragon's barrel on its head began to spin, stopping then firing. The Dark Eyed Illusionist exploded with smoke, but as the smoke cleared, his monster still stood. It remained the same, except that it was just transparent.
Anjokun let out a loud laugh. "Fool..." He snickered.
"What happened!" Doxx said, looking the right side of the Dark Eyed Illusionist, to see another Dark Eyed Illusionist.
"I activated my face down card, Raise Dead!" Anjokun said. "Bringing back my defeated Dark Eyed Illusionist! (1500/1200)"
"But how did your monster negate my attack?" Doxx wondered.
"It's all in the power of my magic card..." Anjokun smiled, pointing his hand at his face up Chakra's Eyes.
"It's a permanent magic card!" Doxx gasped.
"Yes it is. It allows me to remove all but one random monster from my field for the remainder of the turn when you attack." Anjokun smiled.
"So that's your plan..." Doxx growled.
"Heh, yes, attack all you'd like but you won't be able to hit any of my monsters because they are illusions to you..." Anjokun smiled.
Doxx growled. "I'll end my turn..." He announced.
"Draw!" Anjokun announced, drawing his next card. "Now! I activate Chakra's Eyes once again! Special summoning my last Dark Eyed Illusionist! (1500/1200)"
"Your last one, you won't have any more to summon." Doxx pointed.
"On the contrary. Although you may have higher chances to attack my real monster... I can summon more." Anjokun said deviously.
"But the rule of duel monsters only allows you to have three of the same cards!" Doxx said.
"Like I said before, I've taken care of that! So now! I summon Second Hand Illusionist! (1500/1200)" Anjokun announced. "Although it's name is Second Hand Illusionist, it's effect allows me to use it as a regular Dark Eyed Illusionist"
"No.." Doxx growled as the magician appeared to the field, his hands spread out and black cape flailing. "I won't be able to attack, this duel will take a while."
"This duel will end shortly..." Anjokun smiled. "I'll set one final card face down and end my turn!"
"My turn, draw!" Doxx announced, drawing his next card. "I'll have to make my Barrel Dragon a sacrifice in order to move on! I'll sacrifice Barrel Dragon in order to summon Sugar Dragon! (1900/2400)"
Suddenly a white crystallized dragon materialized to the field, it's glistening wings opening up as it floated on the field. "Heh..." Anjokun said, finding that the card's name was ridiculous.
"Once Sugar Dragon is summoned, I can add a certain monster card from my deck, to my hand!" Doxx said, taking the top card from his deck, adding it to his hand. "I'll then place Yeast Dragon into attack mode! (0/2100)"
"Attack mode?" Anjokun said, confused.
"Now! Yeast Dragon, attack his Dark Eyed Illusionist!" Doxx commanded.
"What!" Anjokun said. "You dare attack my monster when yours has no attack points!"
"Reveal trap card!" Doxx announced. "Bait Lure!"
"What is that!" Anjokun said.
"This trap allows me to take control of a card on your field, I have my eye on your Chakra's Eyes!" Doxx said. "Even though it may seem confusing, but this trap was made especially for other cards too, if I were to have activated your face down card, I could have countered with my Bait Lure, using it as my own or rendering it useless if it was only meant to be used at a specific phase."
"So that means..." Anjokun growled.
"That means all but one monster on your field will vanish!" Doxx said as Anjokun's two Dark Eyed Illusionist along with his Second Hand Illusionist vanished. Doxx's Yeast Dragon sent a foam blast, which by passed Anjokun's vanishing monster. "And I hit the right spot because I went for your Second Hand Illusionist!"
"Errr..." Anjokun growled, seeing that he was trapped now.
"And with only one monster on the field, your Dark Eyed Illusionist is left with no where to go! Sugar Dragon, attack!" Doxx commanded.
The dragon flapped its wings, sending crystallized shards at the illusionist, destroying it, and reducing Anjokun's life points to 3600.
"With that, my turn ends!" Doxx announced.
"Heh..." Anjokun smirked as his Second Hand Illusionist and two Dark Eyed Illusionist returned to the field. "Draw!"
Anjokun drew his next card and smiled. "Now! I'll freely summon my second Second Hand Illusionist! (1500/1200)" He announced as his second Second Hand Illusionist materialized to the field. "And with the effect of my Chakra's Eyes, I'll bring forth my final monster, Second Hand Illusionist! (1500/1200)"
"Err..." Doxx growled. Anjokun's entire monster card field was full of his illusionist, it was going to be more harder to attack than usual.
"That's not all..." Anjokun smirked. "Now! I activate this magic card, Chakra's Hidden Power!"
"What's that!" Doxx gasped.
"This allows all my Dark Eyed Illusionist and Second Hand Illusionist to combine their attack strength and attack all together!" Anjokun laughed as the five illusionist joined hands, creating a giant energy sphere, their attack strength combining together to form a whopping 7500 attack points.
"No..." Doxx growled.
"Attack now!" Anjokun hollered, pointing forward. "Destroy his Yeast Dragon!"
Doxx watched as the five illusionist fired the giant purple sphere. "Activate magic card!" Doxx yelled in a desperate cry as the blast hit his Yeast Dragon, destroying it easily. Doxx screamed in pain as the blast hit him too.
Doxx grabbed his shoulder as his vision went blurry. His life points reduced to 250. "Man..." Doxx growled, shaking his head.
"You still have life points!" Anjokun gasped.
"That's because I activated my magic card..." Doxx said, pointing. "Shrink... Which reduced the attack by half."
"Err..." Anjokun growled. "My turn ends..."
"Draw..." Doxx announced, drawing his next card and smiling. Still weakened, his vision went blurry again, he couldn't focus.
"Your weak, you could hardly take that attack, couldn't you..." Anjokun smiled.
"I can keep going as long as I'm up..." Doxx growled. "Now! Activate magic card, Raise Dead! Which I use to bring back Yeast Dragon! (0/2100)"
"Heh, those monsters won't do you good at all..." Anjokun smiled.
"No they won't... But they will aid me to summon a greater monster..." Doxx smiled a weak smile. "Now! I activate Move Dead! Allowing me to take a monster card from my graveyard and add it to my hand, I chose my second Yeast Dragon..."
The card slipped out of Doxx's graveyard holster, adding it to his hand. "I'll summon my second Yeast Dragon (0/2100)...". Anjokun watched as the second brown dragon appeared. "Now... Activate magic card..."
Doxx started to feel charged up again as he watched his face down card flipped up. "Activate... Bonding Alcohol!" Doxx announced.
"Alcohol!" Anjokun gasped.
"It's chemistry..." Doxx smiled. "Yeast and Sugar both make alcohol... And by sacrificing my two Yeast Dragons and Sugar Dragon, I'll be able to summon a stronger monster..."
Suddenly a whiskey bottle appeared, the cork flew off and the three dragons were sucked inside, the bottle began to shake and then rumble. Anjokun could tell something was brewing in there. Suddenly the whiskey bottle broke into shards, releasing a clear liquid dragon.
"I've summoned Alcohol Dragon! (2000/2000)" Doxx announced as the dragon roared. "I'll then activate this, Hurricane! Forcing us both to put our magic and trap cards back to our hands!"
Anjokun looked in anger as his Chakra's Eyes magic card vanished from the field. "That'll keep you from dodging my attacks..." Doxx smiled.
"Attacks! You don't possibly think you can win with just one attack..." Anjokun said.
"Not one.. But five." Doxx smiled. "Alcohol Dragon's can attack again as long as you have an existing monster on the field. The good thing is... It's attack points increase by one hundred each time it destroys a monster..."
"No!" Anjokun gasped.
"Alcohol Dragon! Attack his Second Hand Illusionist!" Doxx commanded, pointing. The dragon unleashed a flame blast, burning the illusionist to the ground, reducing Anjokun's life points to 3100. "And with that, my Alcohol Dragon grows stronger!"
Anjokun looked in fear as Doxx's dragon's attack points rose to 2100. "Now attack his second Second Hand Illusionist!" Doxx commanded. The dragon attacked again, destroying it, and reducing Anjokun's life points to 2500. The dragon's attack points further increased to 2200. "Attack his second Second Hand Illusionist!"
The dragon unleashed a third firery blast, destroying Anjokun's last Second Hand Illusionist, reducing his life points to 1700. "At this rate, I'm going to lose the duel!" Anjokun said in anger and shock.
"Attack again!" Doxx called out as Alcohol Dragon's attack strength rose to 2300, unleashing another firery blast, destroying Anjokun's last Second Hand Illusionist, then reducing his life points to 900. With the monster destroyed, Doxx's Alcohol Dragon's attack strength rose to 2400.
"Again!" Doxx hollered.
The Alcohol Dragon fired a fire stream again, destroying Anjokun's Dark Eyed Illusionist, reducing his life points to 0. "No... I failed... Again..." Anjokun said in shock.
"Again?" Doxx said in confusion as the holograms shut off.
"With my loss, I shall leave..." Anjokun said, bowing and heading out. Doxx wanted to make sure he was going to go, he looked from the window to see Anjokun walk out a few minutes later. He boarded on the mail boat and they headed off.
The night came by, Doxx called up everyone, telling them to meet him outside in the front of the school. Doxx waited, seeing Kyu, Hide, and Yukie come along, then on the other side, Quartz and Violet going his way.
"Hey what's up?" Kyu asked.
"Here..." Doxx said, handing Kyu the Lux God.
"But it's your turn to watch after it..." Hide said.
"Don't worry I already took care of a Killer 9 member..." Doxx smiled.
"What! Already when!" Kyu said.
"Right after you handed me the card." Doxx smiled.
"Aww why didn't you tell us!" Kyu said sadly. "I wanted to see you duel!"
"Who was it?" Violet asked.
"His name was Anjokun..." Doxx said, looking up at the star lit sky. "He didn't pose as a threat... We dueled... He lost... Then just left..."
"Weird... But didn't your father tell us the next two Killer 9 members were more deadly?" Kyu asked.
"That isn't normal... They wouldn't come out of the blue and just duel us without first strategizing..." Quartz said. "It's not normal..."
"I know..." Doxx said, scratching his chin.
"This is all strange..." Yukie said, looking at the card where her father's soul was trapped in.
Suddenly a Ra Yellow student came out of the school entrance. "Oh Violet!" She said, waving her hand to Violet, she held a small brown package in her arm.
"Hmm?" Violet said.
"This package arrived to you." The Ra Yellow student girl said, handing her the small brown package.
"Who is it from?" Violet asked, the girl responded with a shrug, then rushed off.
The package was definitely small, it had Violet's whole name written in fancy cursive. "Open it!" Kyu suggested.
Violet opened the package She slipped the object out, it was a deck of cards. "A gift from your parents?" Yukie asked, Violet shook her head as she broke the paper seal which held the cards together, she began looking through them.
"What type of cards did you get?" Hide asked.
"This is an insect deck..." Violet said. "Why would anyone want to send me this..." Violet said. "These cards smell strange..."
"Smell? Why'd you smell the cards?" Doxx said in a weird tone.
"Someone sprayed these cards with perfume..." Violet said.
"Ha!" Kyu, Hide, and Doxx said in a boyish charm. "Someone has a secret crush!"
"Shut up..." Violet said, snarling as she shut her eyes.
Quartz looked at his pocket watch. "I have to head out, I'll see you guys tomorrow..." Quartz said, leaving.
"Ok, see ya, Quartz!" Yukie waved as Doxx, Kyu, and Hide teased Violet more. Suddenly there were three loud 'thunks'. Doxx, Hide, and Kyu lay on the floor, dazed with red hand marks on their faces.
"Ha! Wow, nice arm!" Yukie giggled as she and Violet walked off.
"Man, who knew Violet had the arm of a pitcher..." Kyu said in a daze.
Later that night, Violet lay in her bed. The deck of cards spread out on her desk, all insect monsters. Suddenly Violet's eyes opened wide, revealing her brown eyes, her pupils faded away and her eyes grew purple. "Heh, excellent..." She smiled to herself.
Within a dark room, Anjokun reported back to Von Bourg who sat in a tall throne. He had a glass of whine at hand, leaning his head against his hand. "Master... I've failed..." Anjokun said.
"Well you had some nerve coming back to face your master..." Von Bourg smirked. "Did she... Get the package?"
"Yes sir..." Anjokun responded.
"Hmm, maybe if your plan works, I'll give you your human body back..." Von Bourg smiled. "This is your last chance, Rosie..."
"I won't fail you again..." Rosie's feminine voice replied. With that a purple essence flew out of Anjokun's body, and dissolved. Anjokun gasped, falling to the ground in shock and unconsciousness.
"Dameon..." Von Bourg called. Dameon stepped into the light. "Dispose of this body..."
"Yes, master..." Dameon said, grabbing a hold of Anjokun's neck, dragging him into the darkness. Dameon came back, facing Von Bourg.
"Let's hope you prove your self to be better than Rosie... I'm counting on you..." Von Bourg smiled.
"No worries, master... " Dameon smirked, holding his fist to her chest. "As the Devil''s Messenger... Being a leader is what I'm meant to be. With the Devil Gods on my side... Kyu-Haru has yet to face the ultimate Devil Duelist..."
With that, Von Bourg smiled a menacing smile.
