Hey everyone. Well, yet another day has come and gone, so joy, lol. Is so tired. I stayed up too late Tuesday night, and I'm still paying for it tonight. Oh well, I'll make it up, somehow, lol. At any rate, time for some reviews.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Yes, he actually saved Noa. And yes, hell has frozen over for that to happen, lol. When the two work together, the brothers are tough, but that's when they work together. And yes, they have nothing on Illidan and Marie, who truly can keep on the same page. If they get off the same page though, who knows.
MarkMachine: Indeed, he finally figured that much out. As for Attack Guidance Armor, yeah, it's more than likely not that kind of trap. I kind of forgot about that, but I changed it to where it sort of acted like an equip card for one turn, which is why I used it the way I did. There is no real specific way to use it is why I just did it my way. Joey is another story though. He is still promised a duel against Illidan, so that rematch is coming.
Isis the Sphinx: Hehe, yep, he finally got it. Lol, I guess you may, but I'll not tell yet. When I started, as I said, I thought 50 chapters tops. Then it hit 50 and I was yet to finish. Then I thought, oh, probably 75 to 100. Well, I got that far, and still wasn't done. You'll see how many I finally came out in the end, so patience.
thehyperactivecow: Yep, he got rather crazy in that duel. As for learning something, who knows, it's possible, hehe.
Brianna Ishtar: Yeah, he's like got a helpful gene deep, deep within himself. It like barely exists. Poor Ryou. Smacks him in head with baseball bat again for good measure.
Well, I'm done for the day, so enjoy. Tomorrow I'll post two chapters, so till then, enjoy.
Chapter 85
Noa drew quickly and sighed, saying "I'll summon Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) in defense mode." A giant stone like creature then appeared on the field and set down on its knees. It then put its arms in front of itself in order to defend itself.
Before Noa could continue, Seto interrupted him, saying "Before you continue Noa, I'll activate my Deck Master's second special ability." Seto drew his card but only frowned at it.
"I drew Ring of Destruction, so it's sent to the Graveyard. I'm done now."
Noa nodded and continued with his move. "Next I'll place one card face down. That ends my move." (Illidan 1800, Seto 1500, Marie 6900, Noa 4700)
Illidan drew his card and smiled, realizing it was time to finish this duel. "I play Monster Reborn, allowing me to resurrect Seto's Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3500/2100)!" The mighty white metallic dragon then reappeared with a loud roar.
Seething with anger, Seto yelled "HOW DARE YOU DISREPECT MY DRAGON, ILLIDAN!"
Illidan only smirked, and replied with "I'm not disrespecting it, I'm just giving it a new home. Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack Noa's Giant Soldier of Stone with White Lightning!" The dragon roared and let a power stream of white energy be released from it's mouth, which easily turned the stone creature into dust.
"Now my Deck Master allows me to attack again, so Blue-Eyes, fire your White Lightning at Noa directly!" Once again the dragon roared and opened it's jaws. It then fired a powerful stream of pure white energy straight at Noa.
With the blast nearing, Seto quickly yelled "I move my Different Dimension Dragon to defend Noa's life points!" The light blue and white dragon with four wings quickly moved in front of Noa, taking the full hit from the blast, which easily disintegrated the dragon.
Growling from the loss, Seto in an irritated voice, said "You owe me two now Noa."
Noa weakly smiled and replied "Thanks Seto."
Illidan quickly considered things that had just happened. "If Seto is going to defend Noa, he'll have to withstand two more attacks, and Seto only has one more monster to spare. I doubt Seto will defend Noa again though. Let's find out if I'm right."
Smiling, Illidan called out "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior, direct attack Noa with your Magna Slash!" The magnet creature quickly raced towards Noa, sending power into his blade, which began to glow brightly.
When it was about to swing it's sword at Noa, Seto yelled "I move my Hyonzaryu in to defend Noa's life points!" The diamond dragon took off across the field with lightning quick speed and took the downward strike meant for Noa. The strike easily crushed the dragon, making it roar as it exploded.
Lightly laughing, Illidan said tauntingly "So Seto, you're so concerned with saving Noa that you'd leave yourself wide open?"
Seto only growled at Illidan as Illidan then said "D.D. Warrior Lady, direct attack Seto's life points with Dimension Slash!" The lady warrior ran across the field as she prepared to strike Seto.
As she neared, Seto interrupted, saying "I activate my Deck Master's second special ability." Seto seemed to concentrate for a second and then drew.
He looked at the card and laughed manically, and yelled "Meet my second Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500) in attack mode, Illidan! Of course, it gets a power boost as well (3500/2100)." Another mighty white metallic dragon appeared on the field, blocking the path to Seto. The female warrior quickly retreated back to Illidan's side with the appearance of the new monster.
Realizing Seto was out of reach, he decided to take another target. "Fine then Seto, I'll switch the target to Noa's life points. D.D. Warrior Lady, direct attack Noa's life points with Dimension Slash!" With that, the lady warrior ran across the field and easily slashed Noa. Noa slid back slightly, but survived the attack.
He seemed more shocked than anything, and yelled "Why didn't you save me Seto?"
Seto only glared at Noa, and replied "That's a stupid question. After all I did, you ask that? Remember, D.D. Warrior Lady can remove from game monsters. If I had defended you, I'd have lost my dragon! Think a little Noa!"
Lightly chuckling at the fighting, Illidan said "If you two are done arguing, I'll set one card face down and end my move." (Illidan 1800, Seto 1500, Marie 6900, Noa 2700)
Seto drew and said "I summon Spirit Ryu (1000/1000) in defense mode." A little blue dragon with wings for arms and an odd looking tail in a defending stance.
"Next I set one card face down. Now Blue-Eyes, attack Illidan's pathetic Witch of the Black Forest with White Lightning!" The dragon roared and released a powerful stream of energy at the woman robed in black. She was instantly vaporized by the blast.
Smiling at this, Illidan quickly said "Thanks Seto, for your attack allowed me to add one monster with 1500 or less defense points to my hand from my deck. So, I'll add Kuriboh."
Laughing, Seto replied "Pathetic! That ends my move." (Illidan 1800, Seto 1500, Marie 6900, Noa 2700)
Marie quickly said "And begins mine. I summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands (1400/1200) in attack mode. By the way, he gets a power boost now (1900/800)." A grey monster with lots of hands covering his body then reappeared on the field.
"Now thanks to his effect, I can pick a Ritual Magic Card from my deck, and I pick Shinato's Ark. Now I play the magic card called Shinato's Ark, allowing me to sacrifice my Moisture Creature in order to special summon Shinato, King of a Higher Plane (3300/3000). And of course, he gets the boost (3800/2600)." A huge blue skinned angel with golden wings then appeared on the field. It was the exact same monster that Noa had as a Deck Master.
"Shinato, attack Seto's Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Cosmic Halo!" The angel held out his arms and twelve spheres appeared in front of him. Quickly, they began to spin till finally a disk of energy formed, which looked more like a halo. The angel seemingly pushed the disk straight at the white dragon, which was easily slashed by the huge disk, causing the dragon to roar in pain as it exploded.
Seto only growled as Marie smirked, saying "Now I add your monster's attack points to my life points. Next, I'll attack your Spirit Ryu my Manju with Ten Thousand Rapid Fire Punch!" The grey multi-handed monster quickly started throwing several punches at the blue dragon, easily destroying it with just a few.
"I add those points to my life points as well, and now it's time to finish you off Seto! Direct attack his life points Hysteric Fairy with Fairy Beam!" The blue haired fairy straightened her glasses and let a blast fly out from behind them.
The beam came rushing towards Seto, but he seemed unafraid. He smirked, saying "I activate my Deck Master's second special ability." Seto drew and looked disappointed at the card he had.
"I drew my Block Attack, so I wasted my draw."
He seemed resigned to lose, but then smirked, saying "Just kidding. I reveal my face down magic card called Ring of Defense! This card will defend my life points for the remainder of the turn." A ring appeared out in front of Seto, and began spinning. It withstood the blast from the fairy, allowing Seto to survive.
Taunting, he said "Too bad Marie. You had your chance, but blew it."
Marie only slightly growled, but lightly smiled after that. "I end my move." (Illidan 1800, Seto 1500, Marie 11400, Noa 2700)
Noa drew and smiled, saying "I play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards. Next I play Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three new cards, but I must discard two from my hand once I'm done. Now I send Flame Ruler and Inaba White Rabbit to the Graveyard. Now I play Monster Reborn, bringing back Flame Ruler (1500/1600) in attack mode." A man with blue hair and cloaked in a reddish coat appeared. He was surrounded by flames, which didn't seem to bother him.
"Next I sacrifice him in order to summon Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi (2800/2900) in attack mode…"
Shocked at this, Illidan said "Wait, that's a level eight monster. You only sacrificed one monster for him!"
Smirking, Noa nodded, saying "Illidan, you should know me better than that. My Flame Ruler has the ability to count as two sacrifices for when I summon a fire attribute monster. Now, where was I? Ah yes, I just summoned my monster." A man appeared that seemed rather muscular, with fire hair and some kind of odd pants.
"Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi, attack Marie's pathetic Manju with Fist of Flames!" The fire monster leapt towards the grey multi-handed monster with his fist ready to strike.
Just as it neared, Illidan interrupted, saying "Sorry Noa, but I activate my face down trap called Magic Cylinder! This fires your own attack right back at your own life points!"
Shocked as two cylinders appeared in front of Marie's monster, Noa yelled "OH NO!"
The flamed headed monster went into the first cylinder and then came barreling back out the other. It came flying straight at Noa and struck him hard, engulfing him in flames as he was struck. The attack knocked him to his knees, where he sat for a moment panting. His life points easily ran down to zero, instantly shutting down his Duel Disk.
As he stood back up, he smiled and said "Nice job you two. Good luck Seto, because you'll need it." (Illidan 1800, Seto 1500, Marie 11400, Noa 0)
Illidan drew his card and smiled at his Raigeki. "It's time to finish this little skirmish with you Seto. I play the magic card known as Raigeki! Now all your monsters are destroyed Seto!" Lightning poured from the sky, striking the white dragon hard, making it explode.
Seto screamed "NOOO!" as he saw his dragon disappear, leaving him wide open to attack.
Smiling, Illidan called out "Valkyrion, finish this round by direct attacking his life points with Magna Slash!" The magnet creature raced towards Seto, sword powered up and glowing with energy.
Growling, Seto yelled "It's not over yet, for I activate my Deck Master's second special ability."
Seto quickly drew, expecting a monster, but seemed disappointed by the card he had. He sadly said "I drew Soul Exchange." The magnet creature then slashed it's blade across Seto, making him fall to his knees, causing his life points to drop to zero. This of course caused his Duel Disk to power down as well. Slowly, he pushed himself to his feet and walked off the field with what looked like a pout on his face.
The judge raised his hand and said "The winner of this round is Illidan and Marie. Now you both gain 1000 life points. Next duelists to duel are Mai Valentine and Joey Wheeler. Please enter and activate your Duel Disks, then bring out your Deck Masters. The turn count shall restart with Illidan, followed by Joey, then Marie, and Mai finally. Once you two are ready, begin."
Joey and Mai then entered to their positions. Both fired their holo projectors and then had their Duel Disks unfold and power up.
With a smirk on his face and pure confidence in his eyes, Joey yelled "Flame Swordsman (1800/1600), it's time to get it on." A swordsman in orange and blue armor then appeared on the field beside Joey.
Mai quickly yelled out as well "Let's do it Amazoness Paladin (1700/300)." The woman in a pinkish cloak then appeared on the field, holding out her sword. She moved to Mai's side.
Both Joey and Mai then drew their first five cards and nodded that they were ready.
That signaled Illidan to draw his next card. He calmly said "I set one card face down and end my move." (Illidan 2800, Joey 4000, Marie 12400, Mai 4000)
Joey drew with confidence in his eyes, and said "I'll start things off by summoning my Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600) in attack mode." A knight in heavy black metallic armor appeared on the field.
"Next I play the magic card known as Release Restraint. This card allows me to sacrifice my Gearfried the Iron Knight in order to special summon Gearfried the Swordmaster (2600/2300)!" Gearfried's armor suddenly began glowing. Then the light glowed so bright that everyone was temporarily blinded. When the light died, there stood a warrior with long black hair and a well defined body.
"By the way, if you didn't know, this Gearfried is a light monster, so he gets a power boost due to Marie's field card (3100/1900). Next I play the magic card known as Sword of Dragon's Soul!" A huge sword with spikes then appeared in front of the warrior, who gladly took hold of the sword and swung it into an offensive stance.
"This card raises the attack points of my Gearfried by 700 points (3800/1900). Also, any dragon that battles Gearfried now will instantly be destroyed at the end of the Battle Phase. By the way Illidan, when I equip a card to my Gearfried the Swordmaster, his special ability is activated. He automatically destroys one monster on the field. So, I'll choose your D.D. Warrior Lady!" The warrior let out a battle cry and then pointed his new sword at the lady warrior. With a sweep of his sword, an energy wave came out straight at the warrior lady. She was struck hard, causing her to scream out in pain as she was destroyed.
Illidan only lightly growled at this as Joey said "Next I'll set two cards face down. That ends my move." (Illidan 2800, Joey 4000, Marie 12400, Mai 4000)
Marie drew her next card and said "I'll draw and summon my Shining Angel (1400/800) in attack mode. Also, he gains a power boost (1900/400)." A male angel appeared on the field. He had golden wings and a kind look on his face.
"That ends my move." (Illidan 2800, Joey 4000, Marie 12400, Mai 4000)
Mai smiled and drew, saying "I'll start by summoning my Amazoness Swords Woman (1500/1600) in attack mode." A wild looking Amazon with red hair and a many muscles then appeared. She held in her one hand a large sword that looked like it could nearly cut through anything.
"Next she gains 300 attack and defense points thanks to my Deck Master (1800/1900). Finally, I'll set three cards face down. That ends my move." (Illidan 2800, Joey 4000, Marie 12400, Mai 4000)
Studying the field, Illidan decided what his strategy should be. "I have to take down Joey first due to his powerful warrior. If he hits my Blue-Eyes, he's a goner. Come on Heart of the Card, guide me."
Illidan drew his next card and smiled at his Imperial Order. "I'll start by setting one card face down. Now I'll end my move." (Illidan 2800, Joey 4000, Marie 12400, Mai 4000)
Smirking and taunting Illidan, Joey asked "Why didn't you attack Illidan? You had the stronger monster. Heh, afraid I have a trap card down are you? Well, I might and I might not, but now we'll see what I can do. I draw and I'll summon Rocket Warrior (1500/1300) in attack mode. He also gets the power boost due that he's a light monster (2000/900)." A warrior with rocket like pieces on him appeared on the field. It raised its shield and swung its sword showing it's readiness for battle.
"Now Rocket Warrior, transform to your Invincible Mode!" The warrior then began transforming into a green rocket.
"Rocket Warrior, attack Illidan's Valkyrion the Magna Warrior with Rocket Shot!" The rocket took off and flew straight for the magnet creature. The magnet warrior was struck by the rocket on it's arm, where it now showed a good scratch. Suddenly his attack points went down by 500 points (3500/3850).
Realizing what Joey was about to do, he silently thought "He'll use Gearfried now. Come on Joey, I know you want to attack, so do it."
"Gearfried the Swordmaster, attack Illidan's Valkyrion the Magna Warrior now with Sword of Dragon's Soul Strike!" The warrior quickly leapt across the field. He closed the ground quickly and was upon the magnet creature quickly. As he struck out for the magnet warrior, Illidan only smirked.
Illidan quickly yelled "I don't think so Joey! Reveal face down trap card, Imperial Order! Now all magic cards on the field are instantly negated, which means your Gearfried loses 1200 attack points (2600/2300)!"
Joey had a shocked look on his face, but then regained his composure and said "Not so fast Illidan, I reveal my face down trap card as well. Go my Seven Tools of the Bandit! This trap allows me to give up 1000 life points in order to negate one trap card that was activated. So, I pay the 1000 and destroy your Imperial Order!" A pocket knife appeared on the field. It then flew over to the face up Imperial Order and struck it, instantly shattering the card.
Joey grinned great big and said "Now, where was I? Ah yes, Gearfried, destroy Valkyrion now!" The warrior then prepared to strike the magnet warrior again with it's sword.
Right before the sword was ready to strike the magnet creature, Illidan said "In that case Joey, I reveal my other face down, Waboku! This card cancels out your attack and reduces all damage to both of us to 0." Three female mages in blue robes appeared before the warrior and held out their hands, which stopped the sword from coming down onto the magnet warrior. The black haired warrior was then thrown back across the field, seemingly shocked at the result of the battle.
Joey lightly growled, saying "So close… I end my move by setting one card face down." (Illidan 2800, Joey 3000, Marie 12400, Mai 4000)
Marie drew and said "It's my move, and I have the cure to your problem Joey. I play Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying your Sword of Dragon's Soul!" A powerful whirlwind/typhoon fired directly at the sword the black haired warrior was holding. It was instantly shattered by the blast, lowering the monster's power (3100/1900).
"Shinato, attack his Gearfried now with Cosmic Halo!" The blue skinned angel raised his hands and a disc appeared. He then threw it at the warrior, easily striking him and causing the warrior to explode.
"Next I add his attack points to my life points. Hysteric Fairy, attack his Rocket Warrior with Fairy Beam!" The blue headed fairy straightened her glasses and fired her beam from her eyes directly at the green rocket monster. It was easily destroyed, causing a small explosion.
"I add Rocket Warrior's attack points to my life points now. Manju, direct attack his life points with Ten Thousand Rapid Fire Punch!" The grey monster prepared to start launching his fists as Joey smirked.
Joey grinned and said "I don't think so, reveal the magic card Scapegoat! Now I get four Scapegoat Tokens (0/0) in defense mode." Four little goats then appeared on the field.
Nodding, Marie said "Very well, Manju, attack a Scapegoat Token with Ten Thousand Rapid Fire Punch!" The grey monster quickly jabbed the orange goat roughly till it finally exploded.
"Shining Angel, attack another goat with Golden Wing Blast!" The angel's wings glowed brightly and he brought his hands in front of him. He then transferred the power from his wings to his hands, firing a huge beam at the blue goat creature, which was easily blown away by the blast.
"I'll set one card face down and end my move." (Illidan 2800, Joey 2000, Marie 17500, Mai 4000)
Sarcastically, Mai said "Wow! Marie has 17500 life points and I only have a measly 4000. What am I to do!"
Everyone only laughed at Mai's comment, but realized that it was true. Marie was showing her Deck Master's impressive powers once again, which showed that she'd be tough to conquer.
