Chapter 19

Smirking, Seto said "Alright Illidan, it's time to show you what a true champion can do. I'll first summon my powerful Enraged Battle Ox (1700/1000) in attack mode." A powerful looking ox warrior then appeared on the field. He had red and yellow armor and a powerful sword like axe in one hand.

"Next, I'll set one card face down. Now, make your move." (Seto 8000, Illidan 8000)

Illidan drew his first card and glanced at his hand and the new card. His hand looked promising. He had D.D. Warrior Lady, Waboku, Pot of Greed, Luster Dragon, and Sangan. The card he had just drawn was Dark Hole. "This should really help!"

Smiling, Illidan said "Alright Seto, I'll play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two more cards." Quickly, Illidan then drew his next two cards. They were his Change of Heart and Slate Warrior.

"Next, I'll summon my Luster Dragon (1900/1600) in attack mode!" A powerful sapphire dragon then appeared on the field. It had bony looking wings and red eyes.

"Now I'll place one card face down. Luster Dragon, attack his Enraged Battle Ox with Ruby Blaster!" Quickly, the sapphire dragon took to the sky as it's jaws seemed to be glowing with ruby colored energy. Once in the air a little ways, it let loose a powerful sphere of ruby energy that went flying straight at the ox warrior.

As the blast neared though, Seto let out a laugh and said "Not so fast Illidan, I reveal my trap card known as Negate Attack! This negates your attack and ends your battle phase." Suddenly then a small black hole opened in front of the ox warrior, allowing it to intercept the ruby energy.

"Nice try, but you failed to destroy me!" gloated Seto.

Sighing, Illidan replied "Fine then Seto, I'll end my turn." (Seto 8000, Illidan 8000)

Smirking, Seto mockingly asked "Illidan, did you think that foolish move would work against me? You're fooling yourself if you thought it would have! Now, watch as I make this move. I'll play the magic card known as Wild Nature's Release. This card allows me to increases my Enraged Battle Ox's attack points by the amount equal to his attack points (1700 + 1000 2700/1000)! Of course, he gets destroyed at the end of my turn, but that won't matter once I'm through with your dragon. Next I summon Spear Dragon (1900/0) in attack mode!" A pterodactyl like blue and white dragon then appeared on the field, letting out a screech.

"Now I'll play the magic card called Dragon's Treasure, increasing Spear Dragon's points by 300 (2200/300)! Spear Dragon, annihilate Illidan's pitiful Luster Dragon with your Tornado Blast!" With a quick screech, the dragon opened it's mouth and fired a powerful green cyclone blast straight at the sapphire dragon.

As the blast neared the strong sapphire dragon, Illidan quickly said "Not so fast Seto, I activate my trap card called Waboku, allowing me to defend my Luster Dragon!" A group of three female mages then appeared in front of the sapphire dragon and held out their hands, canceling out the blast made by the pterodactyl dragon.

Growling, Seto said "Now my Spear Dragon's effect forces it to switch to attack mode." The pterodactyl dragon then knelt down and closed it's wings around it's head.

"Then I must end my turn…"

Before Seto could finish, Illidan interrupted, saying "Don't forget Seto, your Enraged Battle Ox now is destroyed thanks to the use of your Wild Nature's Release!" At that moment, the ox warrior then moaned as it exploded into millions of pieces.

Growling even more, Seto replied "Fine then, I'll now end my turn." (Seto 8000, Illidan 8000)

Smiling, Illidan drew and saw he had picked up Slate Warrior. "Watch this Seto. I'll summon Slate Warrior (1900/400) in attack mode!" The blue headed and golden armored fiend then graced the field with his presence. He then grasped the hilt of his huge halberd on his back.

"Slate Warrior, attack Spear Dragon with Fiend Slash!" Quickly pulling his halberd off his back, the golden armored warrior slashed through the blue and white pterodactyl, causing a small explosion to ensue.

"Now I'll invoke my Deck Master's ability. Since Slate Warrior destroyed your Spear Dragon, he's allowed to attack a second time, so Slate Warrior, attack Seto directly with Fiend Slash!" Quickly the blue headed warrior then crossed the field and swung his halberd at Seto, knocking Seto backwards slightly.

Smiling, Illidan then said "Luster Dragon, direct attack Seto's life points with Ruby Blaster!" Screeching, the sapphire dragon then opened it's jaws and fired a powerful sphere of ruby energy. The blast smacked Seto hard, knocking him down to one knee. Quickly though, Seto was back up on both feet.

"That shall end my move." (Seto 4200, Illidan 8000)

While drawing his card, Seto said "Not bad Illidan. I must admit, your move surprised me, but it's not enough to defeat me. Now watch as I use the power of my Deck Master to summon my Different Dimension Dragon (1200/1500) in defense mode!" A light blue and white dragon then appeared on the field. It had four wings and a long tail, and wasn't a very impressive looking dragon.

Realizing that this monster was a level five, Illidan said "Wait, you can't summon that monster without sacrificing one monster!"

Lightly chuckling, Seto responded with "That would be true if it wasn't for the fact my Deck Master lowers the star level of each light monster by two, meaning Different Dimension Dragon is no longer a level five monster, but is a level three monster! Now, that shall end my turn. Try and attack me Illidan, if you dare." (Seto 4200, Illidan 8000)

As he drew his card, Illidan said "My pleasure."

Glancing at his Exchange magic card he just drew, he then called out "Slate Warrior, attack his Different Dimension Dragon with Fiend Slash!" The blue headed fiend quickly rushed the field and slashed the white dragon in half with his powerful halberd.

Smirking, Illidan said "Looks like summoning that dragon was a bad move Seto. Next I'll use my Deck Master's special ability, allowing Slate …" Just as Illidan was calling out his attack, a multi colored dimensional rift opened up on the field. Suddenly the white and light blue dragon's head then popped out, and soon enough it's entire body followed.

Curious, Illidan asked "What's going on? I destroyed that dragon already. Why is it back?"

Seto only stood there laughing at this predicament though.

Irritated by Seto, Illidan said "Fine, since it returned, I'll use my Luster Dragon to blast it again. Luster Dragon, use your Ruby Blaster on Different Dimension Dragon!" Roaring, the beautiful sapphire dragon then spat a ruby energy sphere at the blue and white dragon. Once again, the dragon was destroyed.

Lightly chuckling, Illidan said "Looks like your dragon is gone. Now I can direct attack …" Before Illidan could finish, the multi colored dimensional rift reopened, bringing back the light blue and white dragon, and again, Seto was laughing.

Really irritated, Illidan demanded "What is going on here?"

Smirking, Seto replied "Haven't you figured it out yet Illidan? Different Dimension Dragon's special ability is the ability to survive any battle with monsters that have 1900 or less attack points. That means he can't be destroyed by either of your monsters!"

Realizing that attacking was useless for now, Illidan's only thought was "Well, that's just dandy!"

Laughing again, Seto yelled "It's useless Illidan! You won't win against me!"

Smiling, Illidan said "We'll see. I'm not done with you yet. I'll now set one monster and end my turn." (Seto 4200, Illidan 8000)
