Hello once more. Tuesday was a great day. First, I got my new car, a Chevy Cobalt. It's yellow, standard, and just great to drive. I then took a trip out to see my fiancé since I was so close by. I showed her the car, and she loved it as well. Then we even got to spend some personal time, making me that much happier. Only bad thing that happened was her computer doesn't work now, so I have to take it to get fixed. Oh well, but enough about Tuesday.
I'm sure you all were wondering where I vanished to. Well, Wednesday morning when I tried to post, I got an error on FanFic, which didn't allow me to post. I tried several times, but finally gave up. I tried again Wednesday evening, but again, was denied. So, I left a post on the faq/help area. Well, Thursday morning came up, and still nothing. Again, I tried again Thursday evening, but still, nothing. So, I updated my problem in faq/help. I tried once more this morning, but got nothing. Now, this morning, I was a bit irritated. It had been three days with no results. I decided to calm down though, and thought when I got home from work things would be alright. Well, again, I was disappointed. I'd had it with the staff, so I updated again, letting them know I was rather irritated that it had been three days. Apparently, someone finally read my problem, due that I'm able to post again. So, hopefully all will be well. Btw, Metal Overlord, I wasn't mad at your crack. I found it humorous really. One girl once said I sounded like I was from California, lol. So, no worries.
At any rate, time for the reviews at long last.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Lol, yeah. I thought I'd make his deck have some kind of order, but at the same time, use what the show has. That would be a good strategy with Spell Absorption. I believe the card was out at the time. Yes, I know it was after thinking about it. And yeah, Spirit Reaper won't last forever. LOL! Yeah, I live in the country, aka middle of nowhere, aka, West Virginia. And I happen to live in the center of the state, aka, nothing around at all, lol. I was a college student when I wrote this story actually. I just got out a little over a year ago. I think it was the start of my senior year when I began my story actually. Btw, living rural helps hide my secret, lol.
pink-kiss-candy: He has more points, but that don't always matter. Thanks, I tried hard to keep Yami in-character. Points and laughs at ashes. Well, it's still got grey hair at least, lol.
Tomb Robber Vicky: He's on a comeback, so maybe he can turn things around. You never know in duels involving those two.
thehyperactivecow: Yep, he's owning at the moment. And yes, the duel is always up for grabs, except with Bandit Keith, lol. He just can't win, hehe.
Isis the Sphinx: He'd definitely in over his head, but there is always hope. Never know what card he drew that he's saving, hehe. Yes, early mornings suck, much like this one, lol.
Btw, I'm getting ready to post my fiancé's new chapter of The History of the Millennium Items. It's a great chapter, and I think anyone who reads it will agree. Probably be soon, like after I'm done here.
Well, until Sunday, I hope you all enjoy my chapter.
Chapter 77
Illidan only looked at his deck, thinking silently "There has to be a card in my deck that can help me. I just have to draw it. If I could take down his Deck Master, I'll be able to win this duel. I just need one card to destroy it. Heart of the Cards, please guide me."
Slowly, he drew his next card and smiled at it, knowing now he had a fighting chance. "I set one card face down on the field. That ends my move." (Yami 2200, Illidan 6500)
Yami then drew, saying "Very well Illidan, it's my move. I set one card face down and end …"
Illidan quickly interrupted, saying "Not so fast there Yami! I reveal my face down trap card, Ring of Destruction!" A huge collar with explosives on the sides of it then appeared on the field. It was just floating there, seemingly waiting for orders.
"I'll now attach this trap to your Dark Paladin, which will instantly destroy him, dealing damage equal to both of us in the amount of his attack points. Since he's your Deck Master, you'll automatically lose, not to mention you'll lose due to the depletion of your life points. So say good bye Yami!" The collar started spinning wildly then and flew across the field at incredible speed. As it neared the dark armored mage, the mage with his cloak flapping in the wind jumped in front of the collar and struck it with his scepter, instantly destroying the collar.
Shocked, Illidan asked "What happened?"
Yami only smirked, saying "Illidan, you should have known my Sorcerer of Dark Magic had some kind of effect, or I wouldn't have summoned him. His effect negates any trap cards that I wish him to and he then destroys them. That's why your Ring of Destruction failed to take down my monster."
Growling, Illidan quickly realized something. "He's now taken away my ability to use magic and trap cards. I now have to rely on monster effects only."
Yami finally said "Well, since your attempt to take my monster is over, I'll now end my turn." (Yami 2200, Illidan 6500)
Illidan sighed as his turn started. Looking at his deck, he knew there was something he could do. Slowly, he drew his next card and slightly smiled at it. Turning to look up at Yami, he said "I first summon my Witch of the Black Forest (1100/1200) to the field in defense mode." A woman with purple hair and flowing black robes appeared on the field in a sitting position.
Slightly smiling, Illidan continued, saying "It's time I take care of your Deck Master and put this fight to an end. I remove from play from my Graveyard my Thunder Nyan Nyan and Kuriboh in order to special summon my Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (3000/2500)!" A large black dragon with orange hair then appeared on the field and stretched it's large wings. It let out a horrifying roar, showing it was ready to fight.
Yami only smirked at this, saying "You triggered my Dark Paladin's special effect. Now he gains 500 additional attack points due that you have a dragon on the field (3900/2400)." The black armored mage slightly glowed for a moment and then returned to normal.
Illidan only lightly chuckled, saying "That don't matter Yami. As you know, my dragon has a special ability of his own. And you know what that means."
It suddenly hit Yami what Illidan was stalking about. Sweat seemed to be appearing on his brow as he knew what was about to happen.
"It's time I end this little skirmish, right here and now! I now give up 1000 life points, in order to activate Chaos Emperor Dragon's special effect. I can now destroy everything on the field and in our hands, thus dealing 300 points per a card sent to the Graveyard by my dragon, but that won't matter due that your Deck Master is going down! Chaos Emperor Dragon, use your Infinite Blaster!" The dragon then roared and flew to the center of the field. Once there, it landed and began to glow with a shimmering light. Bit by bit, it's power increased as it prepared to finish the duel.
Yami quickly called out "I activate my face down magic card, De-Fusion! This will separate my Dark Paladin back into Buster Blader and Dark Magician!" The black armored mage then glowed as it split back apart into the purple robed mage and purple warrior.
"Next I activate Dark Magician's final Deck Master ability! By removing five magic cards from play from my Graveyard, I can move Dark Magician back to his Deck Master position. So, I remove Book of Moon, Mystical Space Typhoon, Monster Gate, Monster Reborn, and De-Fusion from the Graveyard. Now my Dark Magician is out of harms way." With the five cards removed from play, the purple robed mage quickly leapt back off the field and to the side of his master.
Illidan lightly growled, knowing he had lost his chance to win. "Great, I won't win the duel now, but there is a small advantage to this. I'll have more life points when things clear out, so I'll be better off, for the time being."
After all the action had finished, the black dragon let out another loud roar. At long last, the shimmering light glowed much brighter and a huge explosion ensued. The monsters and other cards no the field exploded, and the explosion knocked Yami to one knee. He was sitting there, panting hard, trying hard to find the strength to stand back up. A great deal of smoke filled the field after the explosion, making it rather difficult to see anything. Slowly, Yami stood back up, showing he wasn't ready to quit yet.
Illidan cleared his throat then, saying "Thanks to my Witch of the Black Forest's effect, I can draw one new monster from my deck with 1500 or less defense points. And I'll choose my Slate Warrior. Next, the damage from my dragon's attack is calculated. Since you had three monsters and one card in your hand, and I had three monsters, the total of cards is seven. Now you lose seven times 300 points a card, which is 2100. That ends my turn." (Yami 100, Illidan 5500)
Yami stood there for a moment still panting, showing that the blast had indeed done a great deal of damage to him. Illidan lightly mused in his thoughts about the fact Yami was still fighting on. "He's down to his last 100 life points, yet he's fighting on. I have to give him credit. At this point, I'd be pretty weakened as well."
At last, Yami caught his breath and looked over at Illidan, saying with confidence in his voice "This duel isn't over yet Illidan. So observe as I draw. I'll play the magic card Swords of Revealing Light, stopping your attacks for three whole turns!" Suddenly several swords of light fell from the sky straight in front of Illidan, seemingly trapping him on his side of the field.
"Now I end my move." (Yami 100, Illidan 5500)
Smirking, Illidan realized something. "He still has a lot of fight left in him. I know he won't give up without a fight, but I'm intending to win this duel at all costs, so I have no choice but to pull out all the stops."
Drawing, Illidan decided he had little choice but to wait Yami out. "I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1500/1800) in defense mode." A pink creature with wings and metal arms crossed then appeared on the field.
"That'll end my turn." (Yami 100, Illidan 5500)
Yami drew and said "Good, cause it's once again my move. Now I summon Queen's Knight (1500/1600) in defense mode." A blonde headed female knight in pink armor appeared on the field. She had a triangle like shield and a sword. She was in a one knee position with her shield out for defense.
"That'll end my move." (Yami 100, Illidan 5500)
Illidan drew his next card and sighed, saying "I'll summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400/1700) in defense mode." A grey magnet creature with a sword and shield then appeared in a one knee defensive stance.
"That ends my turn." (Yami 100, Illidan 5500)
Yami then drew his card and smiled slightly, saying "I play King's Knight (1600/1400) in defense mode." An older male knight with sandy blonde hair and red armor then appeared in a one knee position for defense. This knight had a circular shield and a sword. He raised both in a defensive position.
"And now, King's Knight's special ability is activated. When King's Knight and Queen's Knight are both on the field, I can special summon Jack's Knight (1900/1000) from my deck to the field in defensive mode!" A third knight with blonde hair and wearing blue armor then appeared in a defensive stance. This knight had a normal looking shield and was much younger than the older knight.
"That ends my turn." (Yami 100, Illidan 5500)
Slowly, Illidan assessed the field. "He has three monsters on the field now. If he draws Slifer, he can summon it, but there is one problem with that. Slifer's attack points depend on how many cards Yami is holding. Since he has none right now, it would be 0 attack points and 0 defense points. So, I'd be safe, at the least. Still, I'll be in real trouble if Slifer does come out. I still have to wait another turn to attack though due to Swords of Revealing Light."
Illidan drew his card and slightly smirked at the monster, and then turned his attention back to the field. "I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in defense mode." A yellow magnet creature then appeared with it's arms crossed in a one knee position.
"By the way Yami, once I end my turn, your Swords of Revealing Light end. So, with that, I'll end my turn." The many swords of lightly slowly faded away with the ending of Illidan's move. (Yami 100, Illidan 5500)
Taking a deep breath, Yami drew his card and smiled. "I place one card face down. That'll end my move then." (Yami 100, Illidan 5500)
