Hey all. I see everyone noticed that Destiny Board is supposed to spell 'Death,' but the Konami changed the cards for America, I guess. They spell out 'Final,' as did the show in America, so blame them! With that said, back to reviews.
pink-kiss-candy: Yes, curse all of those sexy ancient Egyptians, lol.
Brianna Ishtar: If he wins, the world will be forced to… Hmm, can't think of anything good at the moment, lol.
Isis the Sphinx: Lol, most of the chapters are done, with exception of reading back through to catch small mistakes. I have many, lol, at times. And yes, as you said, it spells DEATH in Japan, but not America. Makes you ponder if America fears death instead of final, lol.
At any rate, I'm finished for the day, so enjoy the chapter. I'll post again Saturday as usual, so till then, have fun and read.
Chapter 50
Evilly smiling, the spirit drew, saying "It's my move now Illidan, and I'll start by summoning the monster known as Earthbound Spirit (500/2000) in defense mode." A creature that looked like a spirit made up of earth only then appeared. It was an awful looking creature, to say the least.
"That ends my move Illidan. Now, do remember you only have a few short turns till I get Final spelled out. Once it's spelled, you're finished." (Spirit 2700, Illidan 1700)
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Illidan said as he drew his next card. Glancing at his Slate Warrior, he decided to play it to it's full effect, but he had to protect it to do that.
"I set one monster. That ends my …"
The spirit interrupted, saying "Wait Illidan! Before you end, I get another letter for Destiny Board. And the next letter is N. So, I play Spirit Message N from my hand and there we are." The N was chosen then by the giant Widgi Board. A flaming N with a skeleton then appeared beside the F and I.
"Only 2 more turns Illidan, and then you're finished, muwhahaha!"
Sighing, Illidan said "We'll see spirit. I end my move." (Spirit 2700, Illidan 1700)
Drawing, the spirit then said "Now, it's my move. I'll summon my Headless Knight (1450/1700) in defense mode." A suit of armor then appeared on the field in a one knee position. The armor had everything, but a head. The suit appeared completely hollow as well.
"Next I'll activate my Dark Necrofear's special ability to bring back Sangan (1000/600) and my Lesser Fiend (2100/1000) each in defense mode." The orange fur ball then reappeared with it's arms crossed, as did the golden colored fiend with four arms that did the same as the fur ball with it's arms.
"Now, I end my move." (Spirit 1700, Illidan 1700)
Suddenly it dawned on Illidan what the spirit was doing. "He's defending himself. If I don't stop him now, what will I do in a turn? I have to take him down now. It's the only way for me to beat his Destiny Board. With our life points even, I have to act now. Come on Heart of the Cards, guide me."
Illidan drew to find his Graceful Charity. "I play Graceful Charity. Now I can draw 3 new cards, but I must discard 2 from my hand when I'm done." Illidan then picked up three new cards and looked them over with a smile.
"Now I discard my Dark Magician of Chaos and Kuriboh. Next I play Monster Reborn, bringing back Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600) in attack mode!" A fiery pentagram then filled the field and slowly the mage in black clad armor appeared. His blue skin let off a soft tone thanks to the fire. He had his eyes closed, seemingly concentrating as he rose from the flames. Once on the field, he opened his eyes to reveal yellow corneas and red irises. Then with a sweep of his staff, the flames were extinguished.
"Thanks to Dark Magician of Chaos special effect, I can now return one magic card from my Graveyard to my hand, so I pick Monster Reborn. Now I flip summon my face down monster, which is Slate Warrior (1900/400)!" The new blue headed fiend then made his entrance with his hand on the hilt of his halberd.
"Since I flip summoned him, his special effect kicks in, giving him an additional 500 attack and defense points (2400/900)!" The fiend then glowed as he seemed to be powering up for a moment.
"Dark Magician of Chaos, attack his Earthbound Spirit with Chaos Slice!" Raising his staff, the mage then made a slicing like movement, which sent out an energy blade straight at the spirit creature. The blade slashed right through it, causing the creature to cry out in pain for only a moment before it was destroyed.
"Now your monster is removed from play thanks to Dark Magician of Chaos's effect. Next I activate my Deck Master's ability, allowing Dark Magician of Chaos to attack again. Dark Magician of Chaos, use Chaos Slice on his Sangan!" The mage once again created an energy blade that easily slashed the orange fur ball creature in half.
"Slate Warrior, the one with the bonus, attack Headless Knight with Fiend Slash!" The blue headed fiend quickly rushed across the field. Nearly half way across, he pulled his halberd off his back and pulled it up to slash the weaker knight. The knight was slashed easily in half, leaving only a shattered image of what had been there.
"Finally, my other Slate Warrior, destroy Lesser Fiend with Fiend Slash!" The weaker golden colored fiend soon found himself sliced in half as well thanks to the blue headed fiend monster.
"Now, get a piece of Destiny Board so I can finish you off next turn."
Smirking, the spirit laughed, saying "I now play the Spirit Message A to the field from my deck. That shall do it for Destiny Board this turn."
Nodding, Illidan said "Fine. I end my turn." (Spirit 1700, Illidan 1700)
Smirking once again, the spirit drew, saying "I start by summoning my Archfiend Soldier (1900/1500) in defense mode." A purple monster with what looked like a brown cape then appeared. He had long satanic horns on his head that curved around the side of his head. To say the least, he looked more like a demon than anything.
"Next I use my Deck Master to bring back Headless Knight (1450/1700), Lesser Fiend (2100/1000), and my Giant Orc (2200/0) in defense mode." Each of the monsters then reappeared in a defensive stance.
Laughing evilly, the spirit then said "Let's see you get through this Illidan! You're about to lose your soul to the Shadow Realm, and I will gain your Millennium Key and more importantly grant you what you deserve for what you did to me! I now end my move." (Spirit 200, Illidan 1700)
Staring at what seemed like evil itself, Illidan said "I'm not finished yet Bakura. I still have this turn to turn things around." Looking at his deck, Illidan knew he could still win, it just all pended on what he drew next. "Heart of the Cards, please guide me."
Illidan then closed his eyes and drew his next card. Slowly, he opened his eyes to see what he had drawn. Smiling at the sight, he knew now he had the duel won.
"I hope you're ready to release that boy spirit, because I'm about to defeat you. I now remove from play from my Graveyard my Kuriboh and D.D. Warrior Lady, allowing me to special summon Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (3000/2500) in attack mode!" The large black dragon with orange hair then appeared on the field, letting loose a terrifying roar at the spirit who seemed unfazed.
"Prepare to lose as I now summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1500/1800) in attack mode." The pink magnet creature then appeared on the field as it stretched out and prepared for a fight.
"Gamma the Magnet Warrior, destroy his Giant Orc with Magnet Punch!" Flying at a incredible speed, the warrior quickly struck the gray orc, causing the orc to roar as it blew up into millions of pieces.
"Slate Warrior, the one with bonus attack and defense, destroy his Headless Knight with Fiend Slash!" Obeying the command, the blue headed fiend quickly dashed across the field and slashed the hollow armor with his large halberd, making the armor explode into millions of pieces.
"My other Slate Warrior, destroy his Archfiend Soldier with Fiend Slash!" The second blue headed fiend then did as his fellow fiend had done, quickly slashing the purple satanic looking monster, causing it to explode.
"Finally, Dark Magician of Chaos, destroy his Lesser Fiend with Chaos Slice!" The mage brought his staff up and made a slice through the air, causing a blade of energy to go flying at the weak golden colored fiend. The fiend didn't make a sound, for the blade had killed it within a matter of moments, causing the fiend to explode as the others had.
"It's time to end this spirit! Now I will free the boy you control. Chaos Emperor Dragon, direct attack the spirit's life points with Chaos Blaster!" Roaring loudly, the dragon threw it's head back as it then threw it forward, spitting a powerful blast of black energy straight at the spirit who only stood there grinning evilly.
The spirit only laughed when suddenly a cloud of brown fur balls with purple eyes then appeared, absorbing the blast for their master. Laughing still, the spirit said "You fool! You will never defeat me that easily! My Kuriboh's have just won me the game! Now you're finished!"
Smirking, Illidan said "Not quite. I had hoped to not have to resort to this, but I will since there is no other choice."
With a puzzled look on his face, the spirit then began to laugh, saying "You have nothing left to attack with! Face it Illidan, you've lost. I win!"
Smirking still, Illidan replied "Not quite since I still have my dragon's effect. I now activate Chaos Emperor Dragon's special ability. I pay 1000 life points in order for him to destroy everything on the field and in our hands!"
Suddenly the spirit went white as a ghost, screaming "No! You can't!"
Smiling at the horror on the spirit's face, Illidan replied "I can and will. This is for the boy you trapped! Chaos Emperor Dragon, use your Infinite Blaster to end this game!" The dragon let out a loud roar as it flew to the center of the field. There, it began to gather up tremendous energy which caused it to glow brightly. Finally, the dragon roared one last time as he glowed so brightly that no one could look at him. Then in a flash, the dragon exploded, destroying all monsters, magic, and trap cards on the field, as well as the cards in Illidan and the spirit's hands.
The spirit was knocked to the ground hard by the blast, and still sat there even after the blast subsided.
Seeing this, Illidan said "Since we both had more than 1 card in our hands and on the field, you lose. The damage to be done to you would be 300 times however many cards there were on our fields and in our hands. And since I hold 1 card in my hand, and have 4 monsters on the field, along with one face down card, and you have 4 cards on your field, along with 2 cards in your hand, that means you lose and that this duel is over!" (Spirit 0, Illidan 700)
