Chapter 11; duel ala Spain; Jet vs matador Fernando
The sun was rising the moment the airplane carrying the singed ones finally arrived at Madrid's airport. Sonic woke the team up before dawn and instructed everything to be ready for departure. Today was Tails' turn to be the pilot. After he landed the plane they had a breakfast and headed for Madrid. This time since Sonic had 2 god cards he kept Slifer for the search and lent Obelisk to Amy so the chances the cards would react to the 3rd one were doubled. Originally he wanted to lend it to Tails but then he chose Amy in fear that Tails wouldn't control his rage for Obelisk and tear apart the card. And he couldn't let that happen. These cards were the key to helping his ancient Egypt ego find his long-wanted peace.
After a small ride the reached the city. They immediately split and agreed to meet back at the airport by 4Am for lunch. The city was really big and very fascinating. Sonic made sure he wasn't recognized this time. He enjoyed listening to the Spanish speaking and watching several TV shows about Spanish love stories. He was sure Amy would stop the search and sit at the first cafeteria she found to see one. She didn't know Spanish but she would understand through the heart. With a smile on his face due to this thought, Sonic came across a poster. On it was an announcement for a bullfight event which would be followed by a feast in honor of the birthday of the bull raiser who was actually a very rich man. Sonic took the poster with him and returned to the airport. His friends were all done with their part of the exploration of the city and were about to have lunch.
"About time Sonic" Tails said "We were about to begin. What took you so long?"
"Well I saw this downtown and thought of bringing it here so we could consider it." Sonic revealing the poster. His friends took it and looked at it.
"Bullfight? I don't know. It seems somewhat barbaric towards these poor animals." Amy said.
"Man so cool!" Tails said "I always wanted to see something like this!"
"Looks cool I'll admit. But I still don't think we should go. I don't wanna see a moment where the bull will get the matador and pierce through his body." Wave said.
"Nah. These things are not so common in real life Wave. They usually happen in movies or something."
"If you believe so Jety, I will believe it too." She said cuddling on him.
"I would really love to see something like this real life" Silver said.
"Yeah me too." Knuckles agreed.
"Well… I guess I'm the only one who doesn't want to go?"
"Come on Amy. Don't ruin the fun. You know that if you don't go Sonic won't come. And this is our only chance to see something like this."
"Fine. But keep it in your mind that I don't agree with this thing."
"We will Ames. I'm going to see if there's any tickets left." Sonic said and left.
He made in no time to the ticket selling place. But the tickets that were left were for high class only. Resorting in using his champion status, he acquired 7 tickets. Then he returned. After this they all started preparing for the bullfight and the feast after the event. Sonic since he had used his champion title to acquire them tickets he had to wear his royal suit once again. Amy wore a red dress which revealed her shoulders like she had seen in movies that took place in Spain. Also she put a red rose on her hair. Tails Knuckles and Jet wore the suits with which they dueled in the pro league. Silver wore one of Knuckles' suits and promised to try to be unnoticed. Wave wore a dress similar to Amy's but blue. They all then left the airport and arrived in the arena where the event would take place which was outside the city. Of course everyone had learnt that Sonic would watch the event so it was really hard for the gang to reach the high class section. But there things weren't easy either. All the high class viewers of the event approached Sonic and started schmooze Sonic in order to get a chance to duel him afterwards during the feast. As for Amy they paid her little to no attention which pissed both her and Sonic more and as for the rest of his friends, no one even realized their presence which was a divine gift to them. Soon afterwards the event started. The tricks the matadors pulled to dodge the bulls were incredible. Amy of course objected heavily this kind of amusement due to driving the animal mad for no reason by putting a red piece of cloth in front of its eyes. Though she admitted that the skill of dodging the bull's horns was impressive. The event lasted 2 hours. The last matador came out he tried to look to see where Sonic was probably trying to impress him so he would duel him afterwards. But the moment his eyes fell on Wave they turned bulging. Or at least that was what Wave thought for a moment. After the event ended they all went to the bull raiser's mansion where the feast was held. They soon learned that his name was Antonio Rodriguez. During the feast the Antonio took the floor and started his speech.
"Welcome everyone. I am honored to have you all in my humble mansion. I am honored to have our guests, today's brave bull fighters who every day face the beast ahead of them for our entertainment. But most of all I am honored to have the legendary duel king Sonic the hedgehog as a guest in my home. And of course I would not forget his gorgeous wife, the duel queen miss Amy Rose the Hedgehog."
The guests applauded for Sonic and Amy.
"Now mister and miss the hedgehog. Would you do us the honor to begin the dance?"
Sonic looked at Amy smiling and said
"Señora, será charisete este es mi regreso a casa?" (My lady, will you give me this dance?)
Amy felt once again the enthusiasm of her love for Sonic conquering her. She didn't expect him to ask her in Spanish. He was so romantic this way she was going crazy. She answered in Spanish as well.
"Pero por supuesto mi Señor." (But of course.)
They went to the middle of the dance floor and the DJ started the music. The first part was Spanish tango. Sonic and Amy in order to get used to their travels and learn more about the world, they had learnt tons of languages and other things for most countries of the world. And of course visiting Spain meant them learning to dance Spanish tango. After several minutes of them dancing, Antonio encouraged the rest of the guests to start dancing as well. A lot of the guests including Knuckles and Silver found dames and entered the dance floor. Tails at the beginning didn't dance since Cosmo was now home waiting for him to return. But seeing a girl all alone he decided out of pure kindness to be her escort for the dance. Wave and Jet were one of the first couples who followed Sonic and Amy on the dance floor. Soon they stopped and went to have something to drink. While they were enjoying their drinks and watching the others dancing a young man approached them. When they noticed him carefully they realized it was the last of matadors who participated. He spoke in English since Jet and Wave didn't know Spanish.
"Excuse me, Señora. Would you do me the honor of being my dame for this dance?"
Wave didn't feel very comfortable but Jet didn't have any problem provided it was only so they would not insult the matador. So he took Wave to the dance floor the moment when Sonic and Amy left and went outside to have some alone time. She grabbed him from the shoulders and he grabbed her from the waist. During the dance his eyes were always nailed on hers. That made her feel more uncomfortable but pretending that everything was ok. But then he started saying things.
"Señora pardon me but your eyes are so shiny and beautiful."
"Um…. Thanks I guess."
And after some seconds he kept on.
"I feel like you have conquered my heart, Señora."
She stopped dancing at that moment.
"Mister…"
"Fernando. Fernando Martinez."
"Mister Martinez I don't want to be mean but your words make me feel uncomfortable."
"Por qué?" (Why?)
"Excuse me?"
"Sorry I spoke Spanish. I was saying why? Why did my words make you feel uncomfortable?"
"Because the man who was next to me when you asked me to dance with you… he is my boyfriend. And I love him. So excuse me but find another dame."
She attempted leaving but he grabbed her from her hand.
"Señora, I dedicated my triumph over the beast today to you."
"Please let go off me."
But at that moment Jet noticed him holding Wave from the hand and his blood rose all the way to his head. He walked with big steps towards them and grabbed Fernando from his wrist. Then he pushed him back. Everyone in the room gasped loudly.
Sonic and Amy were outside kissing passionately. Suddenly they heard the gasp of the guests and Jet's angry voice. Despite this ruining their alone time, they rushed inside and saw Jet and Fernando arguing.
"You came here to try and take my girlfriend?!"
"You Señor are an uncivilized animal! I apologized but I was so charmed by your girlfriend I said things I didn't really mean."
"I couldn't care less! You tamper with my girlfriend and means you tamper with me!"
"Señor Let's not make a scene."
"Oh relax. I won't make a scene. You and I will make a DUEL!"
Everyone gasped again from the way Jet challenged Fernando.
"A duel?"
"Yeah. That is if you know how to duel!"
Sonic and Amy approached the rest of the gang and watched the whole thing. Since the first moment Sonic saw Fernando at the arena he seemed somewhat familiar to Sonic. And at the moment of the challenge he remembered. Fernando was a pro duelist. One of the best in all of Spain. But Jet was number 5 worldwide. Fernando accepting the challenge was like signing his own death sentence.
Several moments went by and Fernando still hesitated to answer. He had realized that trying to seduce Wave like this was a mistake. And now Jet was gonna make him pay.
"I don't want to duel you. But I accept."
"Good. You spared me the time to make you duel me. Now let's do this!" Jet said activating his duel disc.
"Yes." Fernando said while being thrown a duel disc from the crowd who all stood out of the dance floor which was a duel arena now. Jet and Fernando drew 5 cards each and Jet declared he would go first.
"I'll start. I activate 2 continuous spells. Shien's dojo and six samurai united. Now I summon the legendary six samurai kageki in attack mode."
"200 attack? And you call yourself 5th worldwide?"
"Who said I was done? Kageki feels lonely alone so he invites a friend. I summon one of newest additions to the samurai clan. Come on out! Shadow six samurai douji!"
"Shadow six samurai? Your idea too Sonic?" Knuckles asked him.
"Yup."
"Perfect. I can see Jet challenging me next week." Knuckles said disappointed that he would have to learn about those shadow samurais to fight them.
"Now I activate the effect of my six samurai united and my shien's dojo. First the united spell since I summoned 2 samurais has 2 budisho counters. So it allows me to dispose of it and draw 2 cards. But I'm not done. I also send my shien's dojo with also 2 counters on it and summon a six samurai monster from my deck with level equal or lower to the counters it has. So come on out. Kagemusha of the six samurai!"
"Here comes the synchro." Amy said with a funny singing voice.
"Who said anything about synchro summon Amy?"
"Huh?"
"I'm far from done. Because I summoned a samurai monster out I can activate the effect of my shadow samurai. I can send a samurai card from my deck to my graveyard. And the one I'll send is shadow six samurai hatsumi. Then I play the spell asceticism of the six samurai. I special summon a samurai monster from my deck with attack equal to a samurai monster I am already controlling. So I summon the six samurai irou. Then I play reinforcement of the army to add a legendary six samurai kizan to my hand. Afterwards I special summon it due to controlling one samurai already. But even so I'm not done. I also summon grandmaster of the six samurai. Now I tribute grandmaster and kizan to link summon my missus radiant!"
"Link summon? On samurais?" Fernando said shocked.
"Now I send to the graveyard my 3 remaining samurais to fusion summon!"
"Jet even has a fusion samurai monster Sonic?!" Knuckles said angry.
"Knucks relax. Your deck received power up as well."
"Yeah. 4 cards. Gearfried the red eyes iron knight, red eyes baby dragon, red eyes fang with chain and red eyes slash dragon. Jet has 6 new samurais. I already checked online how many shadow samurais exist."
"Knuckles we'll discuss this later." Sonic ended the conversation.
"Now I fusion summon the shadow six samurai Rihan! But even so I have yet to play 4 cards to end my turn. The first one is spell economics so I want pay any LP during the use of a spell card then I use soul charge! Normally I would pay half my life points so 4000 and summon one monster for every 1000 points I pay. But due to spell economics I don't pay anything. So come back! Kageki, kagemusha irou and douji. Now I tune together kageki and kagemusha to synchro summon my ace! Legendary six samurai Shi en!"
"So what if you can negate 1 spell or trap card per turn? This is nothing!"
"Who said I was done. I set one card face down and play my final card! Six scrolls of the samurais!"
"Not that!" Fernando said shocked.
"I tribute 2 samurais from my field. My douji and my irou. And in exchange I summon the great shogun shien from my deck!"
"Impossible! The spell/trap lock!"
"Unfortunately it is not actually spell trap lock anymore. Thanks to some new rulings I can negate 1 spell trap per turn. But shien now allows you to successfully activate one per turn. Which means that even if I negate one you still can activate one. However I doubt it will do any good against this field. I end my turn. And just to know missus radiant gives every earth monster out 500 attack points. So it has 1900 itself. I end my turn."
"My turn. I draw. I tribute your shien to summon gadarla the mystery dust kaiju to your side of the field in attack mode. Now I special summon jizukiru the star destroying kaiju to my field in attack mode since you control one already. Now I activate the spell raigeki!"
"Nope! Shi en negate it!"
"Just what I wanted activate gateway to chaos field spell! Because it was activated I can add black luster soldier-super soldier to my hand from my deck. Now I activate chaos form! It can be used for his ritual summon as well as chaos max dragon's. so I tribute the original black luster soldier to ritual summon my super soldier! Jizukiru! Attack His Shi en!"
"No you don't! I activate the trap card bait. Now I can redirect the attack on another monster. Furthermore the monster you originally attacked cannot be attacked anymore this turn."
"Fine! I'll attack the kaiju I gave you then!"
Jizukiru attacked with a barrage of laser beams which eliminated gadarla
"AAAH" (Jet LP 7400)
"Now my soldier! Eliminate his Shi en! Luster chaos blade attack!"
Black Luster soldier attacked Shi en but Jet didn't used its effect to let it survive in exchange for his rihan.
"When my soldier destroys a monster in battle when it is sent to the graveyard you take damage equal to its attack points!"
"AAAAH!" (Jet 4400)
"I set a card and end my turn."
"My turn. I draw. I activate roll of fate. I roll a dice and then draw cards depending on my roll. After I draw the cards I banish cards from the top of my deck equal to my roll. I roll!" Jet said revealing a six-sided dice and rolling it. He rolled a 5."
"All right! You are as good as dead now. I draw 5 cards and banish 5 cards from my deck. Now I summon the six samurai yaichi and special summon another kizan. Now I activate my yaichi's effect. Since I control another samurai monster I can destroy 1 spell or trap card. So I choose your set card!"
"Rayos, my drowning mirror force!" Fernando said angry.
"What did he say?" Tails asked Sonic.
"He said damnit in Spanish."
"Oh"
"Now I activate my rihan's effect. I banish yaichi from my field to banish your black luster soldier!"
"No!"
"And there's more! I activate the spell mind control. Now I can take control of your jizukiru!"
"So what! You can't attack with it."
"I tribute it along with missus radiant to summon my decode talker!"
"Qué?!" (What?!)
"Now Decode talker attack him! Kizan and rihan give him more attack power since he points at them! 1000 more points to be precise!"
"AAAH!" (Fernando LP 5700)
"Rihan Kizan! Attack directily!"
"AAAH!" (Fernando LP 1200)
"I set one card and end my turn! So! Is this all your power?!"
"Por qué usted! (Why you!) You will pay for this! My turn. I draw! Perfect. I special summon photon thrasher because I control no monsters. Then I normal summon envoy of chaos and overlay it with my photon thrasher to xyz summon number 39 utopia! Now I overlay utopia into utopia the lightning! I also activate the spell foolish burial which allows me to send another envoy of chaos to the graveyard! Now! I remove one light monster and 1 dark monster from my graveyard to summon black luster soldier-envoy of the beginning!"
Everyone was shocked by the appearance of black luster soldier. And what shocked Sonic most was that he was of the same rarity as the chaos emperor dragon he had once won in a duel back at his last tournament before he became champion. It was only printed 30 times in this rarity. This guy could have either spent a fortune on this or be really skilled to earn this.
"Now I attack! Utopia the lightning! Attack decode talker! And I detach 2 materials so his attack rises to 5000!"
"AAAH!" (Jet LP 2700)
"Now black luster soldier! attack rihan! And before he attacks I play the spell final charge! I give up my entire hand and my black luster soldier's attack since he is a level 8 or higher monster counts as an extra attack!"
"Say what?!"
Black luster Soldier destroyed rihan only leaving Kizan on Jet's field with his original attack points. (Jet LP 2100)
"And if my black luster soldier manages to destroy your monster in battle with his real attack he will gain another attack!"
"2 more attacks from black luster soldier?!"
"Exactamente! (Exactly!) Black luster soldier! destroy kizan!"
"Black luster soldier attacked kizan. But suddenly before he could land the finishing blow on kizan, rihan jumped out of the ground and stopped the attack!
"Qué?! (What?) Why wasn't kizan destroyed?!"
"When my rihan's in the graveyard he can sacrifice his peace by banishing itself from the duel to save one of my monsters! Of course damage is applied. (Jet LP 900) But since kizan leaved your soldier is stopped right in his tracks!"
"Υ que?(So what) Once my next turn comes you're going down! All you have is your face down card left! What good can it possibly do?"
"Oh you are about to find out! my turn! I draw! I activate my trap card! Backs to the wall!"
"No! Not backs to the wall!"
"I give up all my life points except 100" (Jet LP 100)"And summon up to 4 samurais to join my kizan who is already out! I choose my Shi en, my shadow samurai douji, my irou and my kageki! Now I overlay together my irou and my douji to xyz summon heroic challenger Excalibur! And finally I play my six style triple impact spell! I can only activate it if I control exactly 3 samurais. And since this is our case I can either destroy all your monsters, all your face up spell and traps or all your set spell and traps! But I will go for monsters!"
"NO!" Fernando gasped once his monsters where all destroyed!"
"Monsters! Finish this!"
"NOOOOO!" (Fernando LP 0) "I… I lost. You.. you are more powerful than I could imagine. If you are so powerful… I can only imagine the king's power. I'm once again sorry for all I did."
"Pf. Whatever just leave my sight."
Fernando left in a flash. He had received the message that Jet wasn't to be dealt with. Jet's friends and Wave immediately congratulated him for his amazing plays. After the duel which also pleased the guests, the feast went on for a couple of hours and then everyone left. Antonio once again thanked Sonic and his team for their presence and treated Jet with one of his most sacred treasures; an ultra rare samurai card he had acquired in one of his journeys in Japan with his wife. It was shadow six samurai genba the only shadow samurai card Jet was missing since Sonic suggested it be printed limited number of times since it was something of a resourcing card for the deck. Jet despite his temptation rejected the offer but Antonio without Jet knowing hid the card inside a vase he gave Amy as a present of kindness for their presence. After this the singed one left and returned to their private Jet. Only when Amy put the vase in a suitcase she brought for any souvenirs they would acquire from their journey she saw the card inside. She rushed to Jet's room. When she entered she realized she forgot to knock and then understood Wave was with Jet inside his room. However she kept her cool and spoke to Jet.
"Jet I found this in the vase Mr Rodriguez gave me." She said handing him the samurai card. Jet looked at it and facepalmed.
"Damn that guy. I told him it wouldn't be right to take it from him. This is ultra rare. Where will he find a copy?"
"Jet he had a reason for handing this to you and you know it. The only thing you can do now is to accept it and take good care of the card." Wave told him.
"Whatever. I will not get mad just because with this my deck is complete. Now um.. Amy would you mind?"
"Oh yeah sorry." She said and left closing the door behind her.
After handing the card to Jet Amy went to the living room of the jet. Sonic and Tails were there discussing their next destination.
"So guys" Amy said while sitting next to Sonic, entering the conversation at the same time "where do we go next?"
"Well we were thinking about going somewhere beyond Europe. Maybe the guy who has the last god card got scared because of Cosmo's defeat and hid far away from this place."
"And where do you think we should start looking?"
"We were thinking somewhere in Asia. I just don't know where yet." Tails said.
"Maybe we should decide it when we take off. You know. Random choices are sometimes the key." Sonic suggested.
"Well yeah it wouldn't hurt to depend on luck for once." Amy agreed.
"It's a deal then. We take off tomorrow and we choose after this our destination. Now if youuuuuuu. (Yawn) excuse me I'm going to sleep before I start sleepwalking. Good night." Tails said and went to his room.
Sonic and Amy soon went to sleep as well. Sonic was thinking that their journey would be longer than he had imagined. The world was huge. And the final god card was one.
