Chapter 9; Seal breaker Shadow vs mythic demon controller Vector.

Early in the morning the airplane that contained Sonic and his friends arrived after about a week of absence back at Athens' airport.

"Well…" Tails said getting out of the cockpit referring to Sonic "we're back home."

"Yeah. Too bad we're gonna stay for only today. But the biggest fight is ahead of us."

"You're right."

They all left and Tails went to make sure that the plane was checked and would be ready tomorrow morning for flight. Afterwards they rode their duel runners and returned home. Everyone of the singed ones visited their parents and narrated them of their travels while also bringing them souvenirs. Then Sonic and Amy went to their house. Sonic laid down on the couch.

"Maaan….! I missed this couch." He said closing his eyes and relaxing.

Amy laid right next to him.

"Finally. Some peace and quiet. Just the two of us."

"Yeah." Sonic agreed "finally."

After some TV and some of Amy's homemade pizza, they decided to refill their batteries. While they were sleeping Sonic's cell phone rang. Cursing gods and demons he picked it up.

"Hello?" He said with a sleepy voice.

"Sonic it's me Tails. I had been talking with the rest of the gang and they wanna meet with Shadow Rouge and Storm. How does it sound?"

"It sounds cool but.. "Sonic stopped talking because he yawned "what time are we talking about?"

"Relax." Tails said laughing "we're talking about in at least 3 hours."

"Oh ok then. I'm in. just text me so I will know when and where to come with Amy. cause we're gonna be sleeping until then."

"Ok Blue leader. Good night." Tails teased him while ending the call.

Sonic returned to bed. Amy awoke the moment he laid again next to her.

"Who waaaaas it?" she asked while yawning.

"Tails. He suggested we meet with Shadow Rouge and Storm."

"I'm in but can we please sleep a little longer before we go?"

"Oh, my sleepy little girl" Sonic said softly while kissing her nose causing her to smile in worship "Of course we can."

After 3 hours they were both on the way to the usual place they met. The gang was already inside always at the same table. they had already introduced Silver to Shadow Rouge and Storm.

"Wassup guys?" Sonic asked them when he and Amy arrived.

"Welcome loverbirds." Tails teased them. Cosmo was with him as always.

"Look who's talking" Amy teased him back.

They took a seat and narrated Shadow Rouge and Storm their adventures. Sonic also brought along Slifer and Obelisk. They were charmed by the 2 one of a kind monsters. After 2 hours Sonic was discussing with Tails and Knuckles were they would go next. Amy along with Rouge were listening to Wave's speech about her feelings for Jet. As for Jet he was with Shadow Storm and Silver comparing their decks.

"Silver how come you're not like thee English champion or something? This deck is way to strong." Shadow said after having a look at his deck.

"Well to tell the truth I… never thought of myself as a champion."

"You should give it a try. You can climb up the ranks with ease. Maybe you'll even challenge one of us in the future." Storm encouraged him.

"You know what? When this is all over I will give it a try." Silver said thinking about it seriously.

At that moment the guard for the entrance came to their table.

"Mr the hedgehog.."

"Yes?" Sonic, Shadow and Silver said at the same time as their last name was the hedgehog.

"I mean the champ. There is a…"

"Challenger?"

"Yes."

"Whatever" Sonic said annoyed he had to get up "I'll make this quick guys."

"Wait Sonic I wanna ask you something." Shadow said.

"Come with me outside. I don't wanna waste anymore time on a challenger." Sonic said and left. Shadow followed him.

Outside the challenger waited.

"Finally we meet again king! It is about time we had that rematch."

"When did we have a match?" Sonic asked him causing him to have a 'mental breakdown' from shock.

"Don't you remember me?! I'm Vector!"

"Vector who?"

"Vector the Crocodile! The mythic demon controller?"

"I have faced tons of duelists using the mythic demons."

"The one who used also Armityle?"

"Nope. Still no clue."

"The one you defeated by using your sirocco to combine your blackwing's attack on my turn with that trap card to defeat me?"

"Oh yeah! One of the few times I managed to get a blackwing to have more than 10000 attack."

"Well I'm back for a rematch! And you have no right to deny!"

"Yo. Don't you think you are being disrespectful?" Shadow said.

"And who are you? his boyfriend? HAHAHAHA!" Vector said while laughing.

Shadow's face turned to a mask of rage. The two things he couldn't accept was questioning his dueling power and him being a man.

"What was that you unused bag-making material?"

"Come on. Don't you get a joke?" Vector said.

"No! not this kind! I got news for you! if you wanna fight Sonic you are free to. But first you fight me so I can have my revenge for what you just said!"

"Lol. You're a pretty feisty hedgehog. Ok shortie you're on!"

"AND DON'T CALL ME SHORTIE YOU OVERSIZED PRE-FORM OF WOMEN BOOTS!"

"Shadow chill dude." Sonic tried to calm him down. But Shadow and Vector had already began dueling.

"DUEL!"

"My turn!" Shadow said "I set a monster and end my turn."

"My turn. I draw. I play the spell card foolish burial. I send dark summoning beast to the graveyard. Then I summon phantom of chaos. This monster becomes any monster in my graveyard just by banishing that monster from the graveyard. so I banish dark summoning beast and phantom of chaos inherits its effect. I tribute it to activate it! Now I am allowed to summon a mythic demon out! Appear! Hamon lord of striking thunder!"

Several crystals came out of the ground. The crystals broke and Hamon emerged.

"Of course because I summoned it with my beast's effect I can't attack. So instead I'll set a card face down. I end my turn."

"My turn again. I draw. I set another monster and also a card. Your move!"

"What kind of a deck is that?" Sonic wondered "Shadow was never a man of defense. Why is he playing defensively?"

"My turn! I draw! Hamon attack the first monster he set!"

Hamon unleashed a lightning that destroyed the set monster. And because of Hamon's effect Shadow took 1000 points of damage (Shadow LP 7000)

"Thank you. you attacked sangan. Now I add the left leg of the forbidden one into my hand!"

"You…! you have…!" Vector tried to say in shock.

"The unstoppable exodia!" Shadow declared.

"Exodia?! Shadow when did you collect all 5 pieces?"

"Maybe I'm 7th Sonic but I also have challengers."

"Oh I see. Well go! I wanna see this beast!"

"I won't let you summon Exodia in time! I set a card and end my turn!"

"Here I come. I draw. I summon kuribandit. I tribute it. Now I draw the top 5 cards of my deck. I keep all spell and trap cards and send all monsters down. (I used anime effect cause it is cooler and fits more for the situation) And would you look at that. Exodia's head and left arm are going straight to the graveyard."

"Shadow! What have you done?! Exodia pieces are limited! You can only have one in your deck! Now how are you gonna summon it?"

"You'll see Sonic. Be patient. Now I activate the spell swords of revealing light. For 3 turns you can't attack. I end my turn."

"My turn then. I draw. I set a monster and end my turn."

"My turn once again. Draw. I summon Exodia's left leg!"

"Why would you summon an exodia piece Shadow?!" Sonic said surprised."

"Now I tribute it to special summon the one the only! The Legendary EXODIA incarnate!"

Exodia appeared.

"Oh no! I'm screwed!" Vector said thinking he would lose due to Exodia's effect.

"Relax Croci. This is not the Exodia who has the effect to make you lose. It is a whole new form of Exodia. He gains 1000 attack and defense points for each exodia piece in my graveyard! So it has 3000 attack!"

"Say what?!"

"Exodia! Attack his set monster!"

"Fool. You killed mystic tomato! Now I can bring a fiend type with 1500 or less defense from my deck! I choose another dark summoning beast"

"Hmph. In my end phase I have to add an exodia piece from my graveyard to my hand. I'll add the left leg back."

"My turn again. I tribute my beast! Come forth Raviel lord of phantasms!"

A dark portal was opened. From inside emerged Raviel.

"Now I activate the field spell fallen paradise. Thanks to it I can draw 2 cards. But most importantly you can't target or destroy my mythic demons with card effects!"

"Hmph totally useless."

"Why you! I end my turn since I used summoning beast."

"My turn. I draw. I play my set card. Obliderate! I can send an exodia piece from my deck to my graveyard to target and return raviel to your hand! I send exodia's right arm."

"You call my field spell useless but right now it forbids you from doing so."

"Maybe. But when Obliderate! is sent to the graveyard I can add an exodia piece to my hand. I add the right arm I just tossed off. And with ending my turn Exodia incarnate puts exodia's exodia's left arm to my hand. You know what's next croci. Two more pieces and I win!"

"Damn you. my turn. I draw. I draw 2 more with fallen paradise effect. YEAH! I activate the spell hand destruction. You discard 2 cards and I discard 2 and we both draw 2. But I also chain with the quick effect undercover. You have to show me your cards and I choose which ones you discard this one time. So you discard exodia's arms!"

"Hmph. Just temporary relief." Shadow said discarding 2 and drawing 2."

"I end my turn. Now the swords are destroyed."

"My turn. Heh. I activate the spell dark factory of mass production!"

"NO!"

"I add the arms back in my hand. Now I'll put exodia in defense mode. In the end phase I'll add exodia's head into my hand!"

"NO!" Vector thought "One more and I lose!"

"My turn. You are an excellent Exodia user Shadow. But it is over now. you won't use the incarnate exodia's effect anymore! Hamon! Divine lightning strike!"

Exodia incarnate was destroyed and Shadow took 1000 points of damage.(Shadow LP 6000)

"You triggered my incarnate exodia's effect. I show you my 4 exodia pieces and draw the same number of cards!"

"SAY WHAT?!"

Shadow drew 4 cards.

"DAMNIT! Exodia's left leg isn't here!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I WON! RAVIEL ATTACK!"

"AAAAAH! (Shadow LP 2000)

"And now to end this. I overlay my 2 demons together to xyz summon superdreadnought rail cannon gustav max! I activate its effect! I detach an xyz material so you take 2000 points of damage!"

"What?!" Shadow said shocked!

"Shadow will lose?!" Sonic thought shocked as well.

"Hold it!"

"What?" Vector asked

"I'll play it all or nothing. I activate hand destruction. I discard 2 cards and draw 2."

"No you don't I play drop off trap. Any monster you draw either by effect or normal draw is destroyed."

Shadow drew his cards. And smiled.

"What's so funny?" Vector asked angry.

"You fool! You signed your death sentence!"

"What?"

"You made me destroy damage eater! Now I banish it from the graveyard so the damage turns into life points!"

"No way!" (Shadow LP 4000).

"Anything else?"

"No. I end my turn."

"My turn I guess. I draw. I flip summon legion the fiend jester! And attack your superdreadnought rail cannon gustav max!"

"But legion only has 1300attack!"

Legion was destroyed. (Shadow LP 2300)

"Shadow! Have you lost your mind?"

"On the contrary. I am winning right now!"

"How?"

"When legion is destroyed I can add a normal type spellcaster into my hand! I choose exodia's left leg!"

"NOO!"

"Now come forth!" Shadow screamed while putting the exodia cards on his monster zones "I summon EXODIA THE FORBIDDEN ONE!"

A giant circle which had a mark on it looking like a pentacle star appeared behind Shadow. First the right hand came out. then the left hand. And finally Exodia walked out of the circle.

"NOT POSSIBLE!" Vector said scared "In this meta Exodia is supposed to be useless!"

"Well he is not! EXODIA! OBLIDERATE!"

Exodia unleashed a powerful beam of golden light which destroyed the superdreadnought rail cannon gustav max and depleted Vector's LP immediately to 0.

"I lost from Exodia?!" Vector screamed angry.

"I hope you learned your place" Shadow mocked him.

"Shadow. Enough." Sonic stopped him. He approached Vector.

"Get up Vector. Your dueling was remarkable."

Vector looked at Sonic.

"Your mastery of the mythic demons was incredible. Don't forget that Shadow is the 7th best in the entire world. And yet had it not been for that outburst of luck at the last minute you would have won."

"Yeah." He said pissed that Shadow lucked out.

"Are you gonna just look at the ground angry for that one fail? Or are you gonna train more and fight Shadow once again in the future?"

"Of course I will!" Vector declared.

"Then get up and start training immediately! I want a real challenge next time!" Shadow said.

"You will have it shortie. I am going now. you'll be seeing me from me soon!" Vector said and started running.

"AND DON'T CALL ME SHORTIE!" Shadow tried to get Vector but Sonic stopped him. They joined the group inside after Shadow calmed down.

"Oh there you are." Amy said "What took you so long?"

"Let's just say Shadow has a new rival" Sonic said.

They described the gang the duel and the way Shadow almost lost but in the end managed to summon Exodia.

"Man. Talk about luck. You better watch out Storm. This guy may try to enter the top 9 one day".

"Well he won't go through me." Storm declared.

After 2 more hours of talking, making jokes and a promise that Sonic and Shadow would duel because Sonic was eager to fight exodia but had no time that day the group split and they went to their houses. Sonic and Amy fell asleep immediately since tomorrow their journey was gonna start once more.
