85. Hide VS Fuery, Rise of Silent Swordsman!
"Ready?" Kyu asked. Kyu had his XYZ Dragon Cannon (2800/2600) on the field with no other cards, his life points stood at 1500.
"You know it!" Hide smiled with his Silent Swordsman Level 4 on the field (3000/300) and no other cards on the field.
"You know you can summon your next Silent Swordsman, but you still can't win even if you destroy my cannon." Kyu smirked.
"Trust me, I've been saving this for later." Hide smiled, drawing his next card. "I'll activate this, Time Jump! Accelerating time by three turns and leveling up my silent swordsman!"
"Whoa!" Kyu said as a clock appeared. It began to tick and the swordsman began to mature more and more.
"And with that I can summon Silent Swordsman Level 7! (4500/4500)" Hide announced as the grown man slashed his sword down. "And now! Kyu-Haru! Prepare for defeat!"
"Ryou Hide!" Doxx and Yukie called from the door way of the small room.
"D'oh!" Hide said, falling over.
"You're up next to duel!" Doxx shouted.
"Your opponent is waiting. He doesn't look to happy." Yukie said.
"Sorry Kyu, maybe we'll finish this up later." Hide said as the holograms shut down.
"No problem! Let's go!" Kyu said as Hide rushed passed them, the others followed.
Hide came into the large area where students sat around, waiting for Hide to show up. In the middle of the arena was a short boy. He was wearing an Osiris Red uniform and his sleeves were shredded.
"It's about time, Ryou Hide." The boy said.
"Whoa! Your opponent is an Osiris Red?" Kyu said, fascinated.
"Sorry, I was practicing." Hide simply said, running up to the field.
"Practicing? Heh... Your an obelisk blue, you shouldn't be able to practice. But me, I'm Osiris Red, I've been practicing to make it to the KC BoTA." He said. "The name's Fuery and I'm bound to take down any Ra Yellow or Obelisk Blue in my path!"
"Alright..." Hide smiled. "Then let's start this duel!"
"Very well!" Fuery announced, sliding his deck into his deck holster. Hide did the same and both their duel disks folded out.
"Duel!" Fuery and Hide announced.
"I've heard of you, Ryou Hide. You're part of a big business corporation. Heh, you didn't even have to do your oral duel exam to get into Obelisk Blue. That's cheap." Fuery smirked.
"Cheap? I don't have to be an excellent duelist to be in Obelisk Blue!" Hide yelled.
"Good then, if your saying your that weak, this duel will be easy!" Fuery laughed.
"Don't bet on it." Hide growled.
"I will! I'll move, draw!" Fuery announced, drawing his first card. "I'll start out with this, Injection Angel Lily! (400/1500) In attack mode!"
"Injection Angel Lily? That card may be weak, but if used right can cause a big problem." Hide thought as he saw the small pink haired nurse jump down from the air, her wings flapping as she straddled a giant syringe.
"I'll then set three cards face down and end my turn!" Fuery announced. "Heh, Ryou Hide, you look a little tense."
"I'm focused..." Hide growled, drawing his first card.
"Heh, whatever! I activate two of my face down cards, Solemn Wishes!" Fuery announced as his two cards flipped up.
"What!" Hide gasped.
"Now whenever I have the ability to draw cards, I gain five hundred life points!" Fuery smiled.
"I'll summon a monster in defense mode and end my turn!" Hide announced.
"Heh, bad move to start with. I draw!" Fuery announced. "And now, both my Solemn Wishes activate!"
Suddenly sparkling rain came down on Fuery, increasing his life points to 5000.
"Err.." Hide growled.
"Now! I'll activate this, Shield Crush!" Fuery announced, flashing the card to Hide.
"What!" Hide gasped.
"With this card's effect I can destroy your defending monster!" Fuery smiled as a green energy beam shot out from the magic card, destroying Hide's defense monster which was his Big Shield Guardna.
"And now! I activate Injection Angel Lily's special effect!" Fuery announced. "By sacrificing two thousand life points (LP: 3000) I'll be able to increase her attack strength by three thousand!"
"Err." Yukie, Doxx, and Kyu growled as the nurse smiled cutely, increasing her attack strength to 3400.
"And now! Injection Angel Lily, attack Ryou Hide's life points directly!" Fuery commanded, pointing.
"Err." Hide growled as the nurse rose her syringe over her head, then throwing it to Hide. Hide lashed out in pain as the syringe pierced him in the chest, sending him flying backwards, hitting the ground. He cringed in pain as his life points reduced to 600.
"No way! Already he's lost most of his life points!" Yukie gasped.
"Hide! Stand!" Kyu yelled from the sidelines.
Fuery laughed. "Was that too hard for you?" He said.
Hide stood on one knee, then got up, still in pain. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Fuery smiled.
"Come on Hide! You may be at a disadvantage but you know about this type of strategy! You can beat it!" Kyu cheered.
"I doubt it." Fuery smiled as Hide drew his next card.
"I'll start off by summoning this, Marauding Captain!" Hide announced as the single armored warrior materialized to the field. "This activates his effect! I can further special summon a level four monster from my hand! I chose The Creator Incarnate! (1600/1500)"
"Heh." Fuery smirked.
"Now! I'll equip my Creator Incarnate with this, Forbidden Sword - Susaku Blade!" Hide announced, flashing the card to Fuery. "Once equipped to my warrior, he loses five hundred attack points!"
"You must be joking right?" Fuery smirked as a long silver blade appeared in the warrior's hands, reducing his attack strength to 1100.
"No, but then again, my Forbidden Sword gives him an extra ability! He'll be able to attack your life points directly!" Hide smiled. "Now go! Creator Incarnate!"
"I'll activate my trap card!" Fuery smiled as the warrior came dashing toward Fuery, ready to strike him. "Gravity Bind!"
"What!" Hide gasped as Fuery's final face down card flipped up. Suddenly pink waves emerged from the card, flashing by Hide's warrior, stopping him.
"As long as my trap card is on the field, all monsters with a level of four or higher can't attack!" Fuery laughed proudly.
"Heh, like that's going to stop him." Kyu smirked, knowing Hide had the best monster to finish the job.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Hide announced.
"Finally." Fuery smirked, drawing his next card. "Now Solemn Wishes activate!"
Suddenly Fuery's two trap cards began to glow, increasing his life points to 4000. "Now! I sacrifice two thousand life points to activate Injection Angel Lily's special effect! (LP: 2000)"
"Hide!" Yukie screamed, afraid of whats about to happen.
Suddenly the syringe riding angel giggled as her attack strength rose to 3400. "Go! Attack and destroy his Creator Incarnate!" Fuery commanded as the angel flew forward on her syringe, heading toward Hide's warrior.
"Activate magic card!" Hide announced. "Book of Moon!"
"Huh!" Fuery gasped.
"Once activated, I can switch the position of a monster into face down defense position!" Hide explained. "I chose my own Creator Incarnate!"
Suddenly Hide's warrior transformed into a face down vertical hologram of a face down card. Fuery's Injection Angel drove her syringe into the card hologram, destroying it.
Fuery smirked. "That was a pathetic counter." He said. "I'll end my turn from here! I've got you beat, there's nothing you can do!"
"We'll see, draw!" Hide announced, drawing his next card. "I'll activate the ability of my Forbidden Sword! By removing Creator Incarnate and Big Shield Guardna from my graveyard, I can return it to my hand!"
"Heh." Fuery smirked.
"Now! I'll equip my Forbidden Sword - Susaku Blade to my Marauding Captain!" Hide announced as a long silver blade appeared in the warrior's hands, decreasing his attack strength to 700. "I'll also summon Silent Swordsman Level 0 (1000/1000)"
"Alright! Hide's unleashed his secret weapon." Kyu cheered as the tiny sword wielding warrior materialized to the field.
"Yup. Even at a low level, Silent Swordsman can be destructive. So Fuery's Gravity Bind is no good." Doxx added.
"Now! Marauding Captain! Attack his life points directly with Susaku Blade!" Hide commanded, pointing forward. The warrior charged, by passing Injection Angel Lily, causing her to float away, screaming cutely. The warrior slashed his sword down across Fuery, causing him to scream in pain as his life points reduced to 1300.
"No!" Fuery growled.
"Now that you don't have enough life points to use Injection Angel Lily's effect, I can finally destroy it!" Hide smiled. "Silent Swordsman Level 0, attack and destroy his Injection Angel Lily!"
Hide's tiny warrior jumped forward as the injection angel looked in horror as the warrior slashed his sword across the syringe, destroying it, along with the angel.
Fuery growled as his life points reduced to 700.
"My turn ends!" Hide smiled with confidence.
"You think that's funny huh?" Fuery growled, snatching his next card, instantly causing his life points to increase to 1700 thanks to his Solemn Wishes. "I'll show you! I'll activate this, Raise Dead!"
"Huh?" Hide said.
"So I can bring back Injection Angel Lily! (400/1500)" Fuery smirked as the syringe riding angel materialized back to the field. "I'll also activate this magic card, Emergency Provisions!"
"Agh!" Hide gasped.
"For each magic or trap card I sacrifice to Emergency Provisions, I gain one thousand life points!" Fuery smirked. "I'll start by sacrificing my two Solemn Wishes!"
Suddenly Fuery's two trap cards vanished, increasing his life points to 3700. "No way! After all this, Fuery just got nearly all his life points back!" Kyu said.
"Now! I sacrifice two thousand of my life points to activate her effect!" Fuery announced rabidly as his life points reduced to 1700, increasing Injection Angel Lily's attack strength to 3400. "Now attack and destroy his Marauding Captain!"
The angel launched forward on her syringe, piercing through the warrior's armor, causing him to scream in pain as he shattered into digital bits.
Fuery laughed menacingly. "What now you Obelisk Blue! How does it feel to be defeated by a 'weak' Osiris Red!" He hollered.
"Activate trap card!" Hide announced. "Warrior's Trade!"
"What!" Fuery growled as Hide's face down card flipped up.
Hide smirked. "When you attack one of my warrior monsters, I can discard another warrior monster from my hand to the graveyard to reduce the Battle Damage equal to the total amount of the discarded monster!" Hide explained. " chose to discard my Creator!"
"Awesome!" Doxx said excitedly. "Hide would have lost the duel if this attack was successful, but thanks to his trap card, the damage is reduced. He would've originally taken on twenty seven hundred points of damage, but since he's discarding The Creator, he only loses four hundred life points!"
Hide looked onward as his life points reduced to 200. "I suppose your turn is done!"
Fuery felt cheated out on his luck, thinking he was going to win now. He had nothing else to do. "Fine, make your lame ass move." Fuery growled.
"Draw!" Hide announced, glancing at his drawn card quickly, recognizing the picture. "Awesome! I'll activate this, Time Jump!"
"What!" Fuery growled.
"Once activated, this duel speeds up to my next turn, three turns later!" Hide announced as a swift whirlwind engulfed the field, making time go faster. "And as the turns go by, my Silent Swordsman's effect activates!"
"No!" Fuery growled as he watched the tiny swordsman grow to be a more adolescent teen.
"This evolves my Silent Swordsman Level 0 to Silent Swordsman Level 3! (2500/2500)" Hide announced as the swordsman slashed his sword down to the ground.
"A level three monster with an attack of twenty five hundred! Impossible!" Fuery growled.
"It's possible and I'm about to end this duel! Silent Swordsman Level 3, attack and destroy his Injection Angel Lily!" Hide commanded, pointing. The swordsman jumped up into the air, ready for the final strike.
"Don't be too quick on your feet! You might trip!" Fuery smirked. "Activate trap card, Force Defense Formation!"
"What!" Hide gasped.
"When you declare an attack on one of my monsters with an attack of one thousand or less, I can activate this card!" Fuery smirked. "My Injection Angel Lily automatically shifts to defense mode!"
"Well that isn't a very good effect..." Yukie said, cocking her head as the Angel sat onto the ground, shielding her self with the big syringe.
"Still your monster will be destroyed!" Hide sneered.
"Read the fine print!" Fuery smirked. "I'm now allowed to discard monster cards from my hand and for every monster card I discard, my Injection Angel Lily's defense points will increase by the same amount of defense points of the discarded monsters!"
"What!" Hide gasped.
"That's right." Fuery smiled deviously. "Now I'll discard my Defense Wall, which has a defense of twenty one hundred, and my Big Shield Guardna which has twenty six hundred defense points!"
"No! That's too much defense points! Hide's attack will backfire!" Kyu said, worried.
"Combining those defense points with my Injection Angel Lily's she gains a total of forty seven hundred defense points!" Fuery laughed as Injection Angel Lily's defense points rose to 6200. "And with that many defense points, you're doomed because you declared your attack! There's no stopping this attack!"
"There isn't, but I have an alternative!" Hide growled.
"How." Fuery smirked. "You only have your lame Silent Swordsman and no other card on your field or in your hand!"
"I don't but nothings stopping me from activating the effect of my Forbidden Sword - Susaku Blade!" Hide roared, holding his hand in a fist as his graveyard slot began to glow.
"No! I forgot!" Fuery gasped in shock.
"Now! I remove Silent Swordsman Level 0, Silent Swordsman Level 1, and Silent Swordsman Level 2 in order to once again activate Forbidden Sword - Susaku Blade!" Hide announced as the three card slid out of his graveyard holster. As Hide's Silent Swordsman Level 3 came down at Injection Angel Lily, his sword transformed into a silver flaming sword.
"And due to its effect! My monster loses five hundred attack points!" Hide yelled as Silent Swordsman Level 3's attack strength reduced to 2000. "But now! I can attack your life points directly! Ending this duel once and for all!"
The swordsman jumped down, by passed Fuery's Injection Angel Lily, causing her to fall away from the quick charge of wind from the swordsman. The swordsman slashed his new sword across Fuery's chest, causing him to scream out in pain.
"Agh!" Fuery gasped as he fell backwards, his cards flying to the ground as his life points reduced to 0.
"Hide! You did it!" Kyu cheered as well as everyone else. Hide puffed a sigh of relief, knowing it was over. He was now legible to move to the next round.
Hide walked back to Kyu and the others. "Wow that was a great feeling!" Hide said happily.
"Yeah that was awesome!" Kyu said, patting him on the back. Violet stood there with a serious look.
"Pretty amateur-ish." She smirked.
"Hey, Hide did a good job, why are you all bent out of shape for this?" Yukie said.
Doxx nudged Yukie. "This is an important event for Violet. She's done this before and won, twice." Doxx whispered.
"Are you serious?" Yukie whispered back.
Before Yukie could look at Violet, she had headed out grunting to herself. "Kaiba, you're a damned fool. This contest is so useless." She smiled to herself as she left the arena.
PREVIEW
