Hello once more everyone. Well, I had a good day yesterday with my fiancé. Spent part of it out in town, then went back to her house and spent the rest alone, hehe. Anyways, I'm to go again today, but first I need to post a chapter. At any rate, time to answer some reviews.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Yeah, he played fairly well against Illidan, but now he's just getting trounced. Lol, Kaiba is enjoying it at the least. And yes, my fiancé missed her little doggie demon, hehe. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow I'll get a chance to look over your chapter. I started reading it, but got distracted. I'll finish though, so no worries.
Brianna Ishtar: … Ok… Can I watch while you use that whip… Gets smacked in the back of the head by fiancé. I mean, enjoy yourself Ryou.
Ultimate Legendary Master: Indeed Joey better. Possibly he was a bit hasty, or maybe not. Who knows but Joey, or me, hehe.
pink-kiss-candy: Sure it helped. I set his mind straight, maybe. Yeah, Shadi's head over heels. Smirks at Ryou wielding a whip. Can… Smacked in the back of the head again. Sigh Hey Ryou, catch! Throws him handcuffs. Ryou: "Evilly smirks Thanks, hehe!"
Well, now that was interesting. Smacked in the back of the head again. What did I do now? Oh yeah, I just gave away our handcuffs… Oh wait, I just said too much like with me being a hanyou and all… Yeah, that's all I have to say today, hehe. Anyways, seriously, enjoy the chapter, and I'll have another out tomorrow.
Chapter 91
Joey only smiled at the card he had drawn.
Seeing Joey's anxiousness, Illidan asked "Well Joey, what is it?"
Joey grinned and said "I'll end my move." (Illidan 7300, Joey 1100)
Illidan about fell over at the words Joey had said. Everyone in the crowd felt like doing an anime sweat drop at Joey's words and actions.
Sweat dropping himself, Illidan returned to his serious tone and said "Alright Joey, since you didn't end this duel, I will. Watch as I draw!" Illidan quickly drew his next card. It was his Blade Knight.
"Luster Dragon, finish this duel by direct attacking Joey's life points with Ruby Blaster!" The beautiful sapphire dragon took to the sky yet again and opened up it's jaws and spat a ruby colored fireball straight at Joey. As the blast about hit Joey, Joey's body began to glow brightly.
Shocked at this, Illidan said "What in the world!"
Suddenly, Joey's body glowed brighter. When the glow died, there stood Joey in a red and white suit of armor. It had a helmet and the top piece was covering Joey's eyes. Then suddenly it slid up, revealing Joey's eyes. His armor also had wings on the back of it, making him look like some kind of flying knight.
Unsure of what to make of this development, Illidan asked "What have you done Joey!"
Joey only smiled and pointed to his revealed trap card. "You see Illidan, as you attacked, I activated this trap card. It's known as Aura Armor. It can only be activated when I have 2000 or less life points. Sure, I have to pay half my life points to also use it, but as a result of activating it, I can end your battle phase."
Illidan then noticed that a little holo attack and defense point status bar appeared beside Joey. Curious, he said "Wait, you have a status like a monster. Why?"
Chuckling again, Joey said "That's the other effect of Aura Armor. Basically, it transforms me into a monster on the field. My attack and defense points are directly linked to my life points, so whatever my life points are is the number of attack and defense points I have (550/550). Also, when this armor goes, so does my life points."
Nodding with understanding, Illidan said "I see. So, this was your plan. I hope that armor is worth the risk, because if it wasn't, you're in real trouble. I'll end my turn." (Illidan 7300, Joey 550)
Joey smiled and said "Good, cause it's my move. Come on, deck, show me some love!" Joey drew and looked at his card with a wide grin.
"Sweet! First I give up half of my life points in order to keep this suit of armor on. Now I play the magic card known as Roll of Fate!" A die then appeared on the field. It began spinning rather rapidly.
"Now I roll this die. Whatever the result of the die is the number of cards I can draw from my deck. The only bad side of this card is whatever the result of the die is; I have to discard the same number of cards from my deck as well. Now let's see how lucky I am!" The die then hit the ground. It rolled and rolled and rolled forever. Finally, it landed on a six.
"Yes! A six! That means I can draw six new cards." Joey then drew six new cards. He carefully studied them for a moment till he then drew six more cards and sent them to the Graveyard.
"It's over for you now Illidan. Allow me to begin by playing the magic card known as Red-Eyes Transmigration! This card can only be activated when I have Aura Armor on the field. Now all I have to do is sacrifice my Red-Eyes Black Dragon to activate it."
Illidan only looked at Joey with a puzzled look and said "But your dragon isn't on the field."
Joey only grinned and replied with "Yeah, but he's in my hand." He then showed the card to Illidan to prove it.
"Now I sacrifice my Red-Eyes Black Dragon and my Aura Armor in order to summon Lord of the Red (2400/2000)!" Suddenly the field glowed with a green light. The black dragon then appeared above Joey. He slowly lowered himself towards Joey. Then Joey's armor began to glow green. It seemed to catch fire, but it was a green flame. Only Joey's eyes and hands could be seen through the fire. Then suddenly, the flames died down and a new armor appeared on Joey. It looked very much like the black dragon that had been there a moment before, but transformed into armor.
Joey then yelled "YEAH!"
Finally, all the flames dissipated. Shocked, Illidan asked "What in the world?" He was nearly speechless at this display. "What has he done! More importantly, what has he become?" Illidan said in his mind.
Joey grinned as his armor gleamed in the morning light, and said "I know, kind of shocking, isn't it Illidan? I'm sure you could use a close up look though."
Illidan eyed the new armor. It was powerful looking, but still no match for his Chaos Emperor Dragon. Smirking, he said "Your new armor is impressive Joey, but you can't withstand the might of my Chaos Emperor Dragon."
Joey only smirked and said "Not yet, but watch this. I first activate the equip magic card known as Sword of Dragon's Soul! Now I equip it to Lord of the Red (3100/2000)." A huge spiked sword then appeared in front of Joey. Joey grabbed the hilt and then smashed the blade into the ground, allowing it to rest.
"Next I'll activate the magic card known as Dian Keto the Cure Master, raising my life points by 1000. And since I just activated a second magic card, Lord of the Red's special effect is triggered." Suddenly green flames began forming around Joey again.
Illidan was anxious now. "What is he up to now?" Curious, he asked "What are you doing Joey?"
Joey smiled and replied with "When two magic cards are played in the same turn, Lord of the Red's special effect is triggered. I can now destroy all monsters on the field except for Lord of the Red!"
Illidan's eyes widened with terror. "That means Chaos Emperor Dragon is gone!"
Joey then leaped from his spot to the middle of the field and yelled "Say good bye to all your monsters Illidan! Now Lord of the Red, use Fist of Fiery Destruction!" Joey's fist began glowing with a green fire. He then came flying back down towards the ground and struck it with his fist, causing green flames to rise everywhere on the field. The black dragon with orange hair, the sapphire dragon, and the woman in black robes all screamed as the fire caused them each to explode.
Joey then returned to his field and said "Now you have nothing to hide behind Illidan!"
Illidan only glared at Joey, saying "Maybe so, but you triggered Witch of the Black Forest's special effect. Now I can draw one monster with 1500 or less defense points from my deck and add it to my hand. And I'll choose my Spirit Reaper."
Joey only shrugged, and replied with "Now Lord of the Red, direct attack with Sword of Dragon's Soul Strike!" Joey then grabbed his huge spiked sword and took to the air. He spun around, displaying amazing agility. Then he came flying down at unbelievable speed. He quickly slashed Illidan with the huge sword before Illidan even had time to react. Illidan slid backwards some and grasped his chest in pain, but remained standing.
Joey landed gracefully back on his side of the field and said "Now I'll set two cards face down, ending my move. Give it all you got now Illidan!" (Illidan 4200, Joey 1275)
Slightly panting and trying to deal with the pain, Illidan's thought quickly turned to Joey's impressive move. "Joey sure has turned this thing around. And with that new armor on, he's stronger than ever. But if I can destroy that armor, I'll be in business. It's just the fact I have to destroy it first. First thing is first though. I have to neutralize any possibility of his special ability being activated again. Imperial Order can take care of that, luckily."
Illidan drew his next card and saw it was Gamma the Magnet Warrior. Deciding it was better to not waste it, he said "I'll set one monster in defense mode, then set one card as well. That ends my move." (Illidan 4200, Joey 1275)
Joey drew his next card and said "Ah, too bad. I was hoping you'd attack me Illidan, but since you're going to back down, allow me to. I'll first summon Alligator's Sword (1500/1300) in attack mode." A green gator warrior in black armor then appeared. It whipped its tail once and brought it's sword in front of itself to show it was hungry for action.
"Now Lord of the Red, attack his face down monster with Sword of Dragon's Soul Strike!" Joey leapt into the air once again, traveling extremely fast. He brought his sword forth and swung it downwards. The sword came crashing down onto the face down card image, instantly shattering it and causing smoke to fill the air. The sound of metal grinding on metal then filled the air. When the smoke cleared, a grim reaper creature with a scythe had appeared and was holding the large sword back from crushing it. Joey leaped back to his side of the field and turned towards Illidan.
"I see now, I attacked your Spirit Reaper (300/200). As I remember, it can't be destroyed due to battle, right?"
Illidan simply nodded.
Sighing, Joey said "Alright then, I end my move." (Illidan 4200, Joey 1275)
Illidan drew his next card. He only sighed due that it was his Blade Knight. "Still not a strong enough monster to take down his monster. Although, I could take it down permanently. Yeah, I'll just blow it up with Ring of Destruction. That's a great plan."
"I'll summon Blade Knight (1600/1000) in attack mode." A white knight in a full suit of armor then appeared with the sun gleaming off his white shield and sword.
"Now I place one card face down. Blade Knight, attack his Alligator's Sword with Silver Blade Strike!" The knight quickly rushed the gator warrior.
As the knight neared, Joey only smiled and said "I don't think so! I reveal my face down card, Graceful Dice! This magic card allows me to roll a die. The result of the die is then added x 100 to my monsters attack and defense points." A little creature with a pink coat and hat that had wings appeared. It then dropped a blue die. It rolled till it landed on a five.
"Yes! Now my Alligator's Sword gains 500 additional attack and defense points (2000/1800). Alligator's Sword, counter attack now!" The gator then glowed with new power. It gripped the hilt of its sword tightly and clashed it's sword against the white knight's sword. The knight was slowly being overpowered by the gator and was about to be destroyed.
Illidan quickly said "I won't let you beat my Blade Knight! I reveal the trap card known as Imperial Order. This trap negates all magic cards on the field. That means Graceful Dice and your Sword of Dragon's Soul are now useless!" Joey's huge sword he had by his side suddenly turned to stone and fell to the ground, weakening his points instantly (2400/2000). At the same time, the gator suddenly lost all his extra power, making him weaker than the white knight again. The knight saw his opening and knocked the gator's sword out of his hand. Then in one fluent swipe, he slashed the gator hard, easily destroying it.
"That shall end my move." (Illidan 4200, Joey 1175)
Smiling as he drew, Joey said "Not bad Illidan, but your Blade Knight is wide open now. Lord of the Red, attack Blade Knight with Inferno Fire Punch!" Joey leapt into the air in classic style again. As he neared his target, Illidan smirked.
Clicking a button on his Duel Disk, Illidan said "I reveal my trap card, Ring of Destruction!" A huge collar with explosives on it suddenly appeared.
Shocked at what he saw, Joey yelled "What?"
Illidan continued on, saying "Ring of Destruction, attach yourself to Lord of the Red!" The huge collar then flew straight at Joey. It slipped easily around his neck and locked into place. The explosives started glowing red when Joey clicked a button on his Duel Disk.
Joey quickly said "I don't think so Illidan, because I activate the trap known as Trap Jammer. This card negates one trap card on the field, so say good bye to your Ring of Destruction!" Suddenly the huge collar disintegrated away, freeing up Joey.
"Now I'll continue my attack!" Joey then continued his assault. He reached the white knight and punched it hard with a flaming fist. The knight cried out in agony, but then blew apart into millions of pieces.
"That'll do it for me. Make your move Illidan." (Illidan 3400, Joey 1175)
Illidan only growled in frustration. "Seems like no matter what I try to do, he counters me. I have to find a way to take down his Lord of the Red, and fast."
Slowly, he drew his next card. He pulled it up to view and smiled. Glancing at his hand, he realized he had Breaker the Magical Warrior still. "First I'll pay the 700 life points to keep Imperial Order in play. Next I set one card face down, and then summon Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600/1000) in attack mode." A maroon robed mage then appeared. He held a sword and shield and had magical energies seemingly.
"Now that I summoned him normally, I can add one spell counter to him, which raises his attack points by 300 (1900/1000)." A small ring of energy appeared on the mage's sword, right near where the hilt was connected to the blade.
"That shall end my turn." (Illidan 2700, Joey 1175)
Joey only flicked his wrist, showing he was not fazed by Illidan's move. Smiling as he drew, he said "Not bad Illidan, but you'll have to do better if you want to defeat me. Now I'll draw. I'll summon Little-Winguard (1400/1800) in attack mode." A warrior robed in blue then appeared on the field. He had wings with an odd helmet. To say the least, he didn't look much like a warrior. Joey then paused. He seemed to be assessing the field from what Illidan saw.
"Now I'll set one card face down and move to my end phase. Next I can activate Little-Winguard's effect. It allows me to switch his position, so I switch him to defense mode. That ends my move." (Illidan 2700, Joey 1175)
Sighing, Illidan realized Joey must have seen through is plan. "Darn, he realized I probably set a trap. Well, I have to take it to him now or I'll never be able to defeat him."
Illidan drew his next card and put on a big grin. "You're about to go down Joey, thanks to this card."
