Chapter 29: Into the Fire Part 2
To say Chazz was enjoying his current situation would be a lie. From Bastion rambling on about his latest scientific research, to his spirit partners pestering him with him being the only one able to see them, to nearly tripping over his own feet in the terrible light, he was about ready to rip his ears off. He really hoped this whole bizarre adventure was just a dream.
"Hey boss, we're bored! There's nothing to do!"
"Yeah, lets find some duelists and kick them into next week!"
"Or some food! I'm starving!"
"Hey knucklehead, say something! We're talking to you!"
"WILL YOU IDIOTS SHUT UP! I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF THINK!"
"I beg your pardon?"
Chazz chuckled nervously, trying to think of a way out of this conversation.
"Oh, um, you see-"
Oh, please let there be something to bail me out of this. ANYTHING!
"Halt! Who goes there?"
Spoke to soon.
Chazz turned to see what appeared to be a mechanically enhance reptile coming towards them.
"This is sacred ground for fire types, and you are not welcome here!"
"Well that's tough buddy, because we need to be here. So if you want to kick us out of here, then you'll need to fight me for it!"
"Fine, you're on!"
DUEL!
Chazz: 8000
Volcanic Slicer: 8000
"I'll start things off by summoning Chthonian Soldier (1200/1400) in attack mode! Next, I set one card face down and end my turn.
"My turn, I draw! I summon myself, Volcanic Slicer (1800/1200) in attack mode! And because I know all about your monster's effect, I'll use my own! By giving up my attack this turn, I can deal you 500 points of damage! Take this "
Chazz cringed as the fireball hit him, pushing him back slightly.
Chazz: 7500
"I too end with one card face down. Your move."
"Oh, it is on! First, I tribute my Soldier to summon Mefist the Infernal General (1800/1700) in attack mode! Next, I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back my Soldier, and use Infernal Reckless Summon to bring out 2 more of him!"
"And I shall bring out more of myself."
"Yeah, well they won't be around for long, because I equip Mefist with United We Stand, giving him 800 attack points for each monster I have on the field (1800-5000). Now Mefist, attack one of his Volcanic Slicers!"
"I activate Gravity Bind! Now level 4 or higher monsters can't declare an attack."
Chazz grinded his teeth, infuriated over the turn of events.
"I end my turn."
"And with it, any chance you had of beating me! First, I use the effect of each of my Slicer's to deal you 500 damage each!"
Chazz barely had time to raise his arms in defense before the barrage of fireballs hit, nearly knocking him off his feet.
Chazz: 6000
"Next, I activate the spell card Blaze Accelerator! By sending my Volcanic Scattershot to the graveyard, I can destroy your General! Ready, aim, FIRE!"
From the canon shot a small, three headed lizard which collided with the dark knight, causing it to explode.
"And when Scattershot goes to the graveyard, you lose 500 life points!"
Chazz: 5500
"And he has another effect. If he's sent to the graveyard by my Accelerator's effect, I can send 2 more from my hand or deck to the graveyard to destroy all of your monsters!"
"WHAT?!"
Two more lizards shot out from nowhere, destroying the three soldiers in a fiery inferno while Chazz tried to shield himself.
Chazz: 4500
"Lastly, I'll sacrifice a Slicer to summon Volcanic Hammerer (2400/1500)! And thanks to his effect, you lose 200 life points for every Volcanic monster I have in the graveyard!"
"Oh, come on!"Yo
Chazz was knocked over by the barrage of fire balls, his coat singed.
Chazz: 3700.
"I end my turn. Make your move, if you can even stand."
"Chazz, are you alright?"
Chazz struggled to his feet.
"Never...better. First, I activate Heavy Storm to destroy your backrow. Next, I activate Snatch Steal to take control of your big guy."
"No, my Hammerer!"
"You want him? Well, you can have him, because by tributing him and discarding the rest of my hand, I can summon Infernal Incinerator (2800/1800)! And for every monster you control, he gains 200 attack (2800-3200). Destroy his Slicer, Incinerator!"
Chazz's opponent could only watch as the ugly monster let loose a torrent of flames, charring his monster to a crisp.
Volcanic Slicer: 6600
"That ends my turn. Your move."
Realizing he couldn't do anything at the moment, Slicer made the only move he could make.
"I set one monster face down and switch Slicer to defense mode. Your move."
"Thanks. Sweet, I play Pot of Greed. Next, I equip Incinerator with Fairy Meteor Crush. Attack his Slicer!"
Once more, the mechanical reptile was melted into slag, this time the real deal crying out in pain.
Volcanic Slicer: 4600
"I set one card face down and end my turn. Your move."
The Volcanic beast nearly ripped his next card out of its holder, hoping for a way out. Unfortunately, he received nothing.
"I...end my turn."
"Well, its been fun, but its time I end this. I activate Ojama Trio, giving you Three Ojama Tokens to bug you and give Incinerator more attack points (3000-3600). But don't worry, they won't be around for long, because I activate Megamorph, doubling his attack points since I have less life points than you (3600-7200)."
"No, wait, please!"
"You. Go. Bye Bye!"
The demonic insect blasted the yellow token to bits, sending the other duelist flying away.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Volcanic Slicer: 0000
Chazz wins!
Chazz breathed a huge sigh of relief. That was cathartic.
Of course, any peace he had was interrupted by...
"Way to go, boss! You sure showed him!"
"Yeah, he didn't stand a chance!"
"Of course, you'd never do that to the real me, right boss? You like me too much..."
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!"
"You're the only one talking."
