(Hey guys, sorry for the extremely long absence. Moving is hard to do and deal with. I've been emo the last few months > But yeah, I was also suffering writer's block but I HAVE been working hard on this chapter, and it's extremely short which I'm sorry for. But yeah! I'm back and hopefully will update next week!)

88. Doxx VS Kou, Kabutops-TRONIC!


Kyu walked down the halls, sighing, he could hear the clatter of students whispering about him. "I heard he physically put Gekkou in the medical ward!" A Ra Yellow student whispered.

Kyu sighed, then faced the crowd. "For the last time! I didn't do anything!" Kyu growled, feeling cornered.

"Kyu-Haru!" Genesis called from a distance.

"Genesis?" Kyu said watching as the crazed fan girl came running to him. "I talked with Gekkou, he has no memory of ever losing the duel. It's weird, yanno, but he confessed for cheating."

As soon as the words left Genesis's lips, everyone in the crowd gasped, hearing that Gekkou actually confessed. Normally, Gekkou wouldn't confess to cheating, but whatever made him confessed was amazing.

"He also said he saw a North School girl in his head. Weird huh?" Genesis said.

"Yeah that is weird. I'm just glad I'm moving on though." Kyu smiled proudly. "Anyway, whose next up to duel?"

"Doxx and Kou. Kou plays by Moke Moke's." Genesis said.

"Moke Moke's?" Kyu said, not familiar with the name.

"You'll see! C'mon!" Genesis said, pulling at his arm. The two raced to the arena. Doxx stood up at the stadium where his opponent faced him.

Kou was an average Ra Yellow student, his hair was scraggly brown and he had a smirk which seemed very confident. "Doxx, you're one idol of the Ra Yellow." Kou smirked.

"That I am." Doxx smirked, not afraid to admit it.

"Heh, but I'll be the Ra Yellow to represent Duelist Academy! So you and Violet can just forfeit the competition!" Kou laughed.

"Not by a long shot!" Doxx pointed as he readied his duel disk, Kou did the same.

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

"I'll start, draw!" Doxx announced, drawing his first card, then smiling. "I'll start off with this, Sapphire Dragon! (1900/1600)".

Kou smiled slyly as he watched Doxx's starter monster materialize to the field, its shining blue plates reflecting of from the ceiling lights.

"And two cards face down, my turn ends!" Doxx announced as his two cards materialized face down in front of him.

Doxx smiled slyly also. He had flash backs of when him and Kou dueled each other. Kou, striving to be the best Ra Yellow, was one of Doxx's rivals. Doxx calculated Kou's deck carefully because Kou was mostly signature to the Moke Moke. Kou was ready to show how wrong Doxx was.

"Doxx, I should tell you, I've undergone a little change." Kou smiled, drawing his next card, glancing at it.

"I thought you would have." Doxx smirked.

"What!" Kou growled.

"I'm a theoretical guy, I know my opponents moves before they can make it." Doxx smirked. "I should have known you'd disobey our code and recalling your Moke Moke deck for a new one."

"Heh, but that's your problem now, you don't even know what kind of deck I posses." Kou said, ready to play his card.

"Yeah that's true, I'm at a disadvantage now." Doxx sighed.

"Good luck! Doxx!" Kyu cheered from a distance.

"Now! I summon this, Super Human! (1000/1000)" Kou announced as a human materialized to the field, dressed in everyday suburban clothing.

"Super Human? So Kou's using a Kamen Rider deck..." Doxx analyzed. "These decks are tough, but they can be taken down either way!"

"Next, I activate this, Henshin!" Kou yelled, flashing the card to Doxx. "With this, I can sacrifice my Super Human, and special summon this from my deck!"

"Henshin? What does that do?" Kyu wondered.

"Hey don't you remember that popular TV show a couple years back?" Hide asked.

"Oooh yeah! I never liked that show." Kyu laughed off.

"Yeah, well they made a deck based off that. I heard the cards are rare and it's nearly impossible to beat." Hide said, looking a bit worried for Doxx.

"Nothing my Doxxy can't handle!" Kyu laughed.

"Go! Kamen Rider! (2100/1200)" Kou announced as the super humans clothes suddenly flashed off, revealing his suit of armor, representing a beetle.

"Reverse trap card!" Doxx announced. "Bottomless Trap Hole!"

Doxx's face down card flipped up quickly and it began to glow. "When you special summon a monster with an attack of fifteen hundred or more, my trap card automatically removes it from play!"

"Alright Doxx!" Hide and Kyu cheered.

"Not so fast!" Kou interrupted. "Activate counter, Kawaga Hard Shell!"

"What!" Doxx said as his eye twitched. Suddenly two giant bug-like leaves folder over the Kamen Rider, protecting it and deflecting the trap card's effect.

"Not only does it negate your effect, but I can add a KA-KABUTO from my deck to my hand." Kou smirked, revealing the magic card he just added to his hand.

"Damn." Doxx growled. "This could get bad."

"I'll shift Sapphire Dragon to defense mode." Doxx announced as the blue dragon crouched down, shielding itself with its tough scaly arms. "That ends my turn."

"My turn! Draw!" Kou announced, smiling. "Now! I activate this, KA-KABUTO!"

"Here we go..." Kyu sighed, feeling the tension.

"This will transform my Kamen Rider to Kamen Rider KABUTO! (2600/1800)" Kou announced as extra gold armor attached itself to the warrior. Two giant Hercules like claws extended out of the warrior's head, glowing brightly. "Next, I activate its effect!"

The warrior held it's finger up into the air, causing Doxx's cards in his hands to glow. "What the?" Doxx said, confused.

"During each of my turns, you can special summon a monster from your hand, but if you don't have any, then you get fifteen hundred points of damage." Kou smirked as the glowing suddenly spread of Doxx's body. Doxx let out a scream of pain, holding his head as his life points reduced to 2500.

Kou laughed. "How pitiful, I guess you didn't have any monsters! Now! Kamen Rider, attack!" Kou pointed. The rider charged forward, trapping Doxx's dragons in its claws, then crushing it.

Doxx sighed, knowing his monster was in defense mode, but now he had no monsters on the field, plus he didn't have any in his hand, which was his downfall.

"I'll set one more card face down and end my turn." Kou announced with a grin.

"My draw!" Doxx announced, then smiling. "Now! I summon this, Red Eyes Black Chick! In attack mode! (800/500)"

"Heh such a simpleton. That weak Red Eyes of your will do you no good against my Kamen Rider KABUTO!" Kou smirked as the tiny black dragon materialized to the field, blowing soot out from its nostrils.

"That's what you think! I activate Red Eyes Black Chick's special effect!" Doxx announced, pointing at his tiny dragon, causing it to vanish. "With it, I'll bring out Red Eyes Black Dragon from my hand! (2400/2000)"

"Ah! Doxx's infamous Red Eyes Black Dragon!" Kyu smiled, remembering all the duels he saw Doxx in, winning with his Red Eyes. The dragon materialized to the field, hovering over Doxx, it's black scales glistening, wings spreading out, and it's eyes glaring red.

"That's not all!" Doxx smiled, taking the second to last card in his hand. "I'll activate this, Inferno Tempest Blast!"

"No!" Kou gasped as Doxx slid the card into his duel disk.

"I can equip this to a Dark Dragon-type monster, and for every Dark monster in my graveyard, the equipped monster gains six hundred attack points! And thanks for my Red Eyes Black Chick being in my graveyard, the attack of my Red Eyes increases!" Doxx announced as his Red Eye's attack strength grew to 3000. "Now! Attack, Red Eyes Black Dragon!"

The dragon lowered his head, firing a blazing inferno stream toward Kou's Kamen Rider. "Reveal trap card!" Kou announced, throwing his hand up. "Super Suicidal Strike!"

"What!" Doxx gasped.

Kou didn't look too happy with his trap card either. "This permanent trap card plays Battle Phase normally, but if two monsters battle, they are both destroyed." Kou explained as his Kamen Rider melted from the inferno blast, lowering his life points to 3600.

Suddenly the dragon hovering over Doxx exploded. Doxx growled, shielding himself with his arm. "My turn ends!" Doxx growled.

"Draw!" Kou announced, glancing at the card he held in his hand. "Now! I activate my trap card, Time Machine!"

"What!" Doxx growled as Kou's last face down card flipped up.

"With this, I'll bring back my Kamen Rider KABUTO back from my graveyard! (2600/1800)" Kou announced as the warrior returned to the field. "Thus activates his special ability! If you can't summon a monster, you gain damage!"

"I activate my trap card!" Doxx announced. "Jar of Greed! Which lets me draw an extra card."

"No, if he draws a monster, he can defend himself." Kou growled within his thoughts.

Doxx quickly drew his card and smiled. "I'll summon Divine Dragon - Excelion to the field by Kamen Rider's effect! (900/1500)" Doxx announced as the glowing blue dragon materialized to the field, defending itself.

"Damn." Kou growled. "Now I'll bring out my most powerful monster!"

"What! There's more!" Hide gasped.

"Now! I sacrifice my Kamen Rider KABUTO, to summon this! Kabutops-TRONIC! (3900/2900)" Kou announced quickly as a giant mechanical Hercules beetle materialized to the field, snapping its horns.

"Ach!" Doxx said in shock as the giant mechanical beetle looked down at him.

"With Kabutops-TRONIC's special effect, all monsters on your field lose one hundred attack and defense points for each card in my graveyard!" Kou explained. "That's seven hundred!"

Suddenly Doxx's Divine Dragon's defense points lowered to 200. "Now! Kabutops-TRONIC! Attack and destroy his pathetic dragon!"

The giant mechanical beetle lurched forward, trapping the dragon in its horns, then crushing it with a single squeeze. Doxx only smirked. "Go ahead and bring out your biggest guns, I'll do the same." Doxx smiled.

"That I'll do." Kou smirked, crossing his arms. "My turn ends."

Doxx drew his next card. "Do you know the benefits for being an honor student?" Doxx asked.

"I wouldn't know, I'm not one." Kou replied.

Doxx remembered how much of a success he had become during his year in Duelist Academy. "Kou, I've seen how you act during school. You don't do work, you laze around and do nothing! To become a great duelist, one must earn respect, and gain some acknowledgment. I achieved that by becoming second best in the Ra Yellow dorm!"

"So what, you won a popularity contest." Kou smirked.

"It's not for popularity, it's for becoming a great duelist. And with great accomplishments comes special rewards." Doxx explained.

"Rewards?" Kyu thought.

"Recently, I passed an exam and was rewarded by Seto Kaiba himself, with a legendary card!" Doxx smiled, flashing the card.

"No way!" Kou gasped.

"Now! I remove Red Eyes Black Dragon and Divine Dragon - Excelion from play!" Doxx announced as the two cards slid out of his graveyard holster. "So I can summon this! Chaos Emperor Dragon! (3000/2500)"

"Chaos Emperor Dragon!" Kou gasped, sweating as he saw the dragon ultimately tower his Kabutops-TRONIC.

"Next I activate this, Treasure of Heaven! Forcing us to draw until we each have six cards in our hands!" Doxx announced. Doxx could identify Kou's weakness as he drew his cards nervously. Doxx drew with pride, then pointed at Kou.

"Now! I activate Chaos Emperor Dragon's special effect! By Sacrificing one thousand life points (LP: 1500). I can activate his apocalyptic destruction!" Doxx announced as the dragon unleashed a blaze of fire, engulfing Kou's cards and Kabutops-TRONIC. Doxx's cards caught on fire and his dragon too, everything was destroyed.

"Thanks to his ability, all cards on the field and in our hands are destroyed, and for each card destroyed, you gain three hundred points of damage." Doxx explained. "A total of fourteen cards were destroyed, so your life points are gone!"

Kou fell to his knees in shock, looking down in defeat as people cheered for Doxx. "YEAH!" Kyu yelled the loudest, shaking his hands at Doxx.

Doxx stood proudly, it was mainly the Ra Yellow going crazy for Doxx for his superior intellect and strength. Although Violet was the strongest, he was the most respected. Seto Kaiba, who sat at his office, after watching his duel smiled, knowing his school is making a huge success in the number of honoring students.
