Chapter 45: Plan 9 From Duel World Part 1

The group of teens followed the spaceship from afar, trying to keep their distance to avoid being detected. After a while, they saw the ship lower itself until it was hovering just above the ground, a ramp dropping down for a group of duel spirits to ascend into.

"Looks like they're abducting duel monsters."

"Ah man, I've seen enough movies to know where this is going. Let's get out of here before they start probing us!"

"Sorry Sy, but we can't let them go through with whatever evil plan they've cooked up. UFOroid, take us down!"

Their spaceship nodded, and began to lower itself to the ground. But just as it was about to get in position, laser blasts hit him from above. Fire and smoke began to rise off its body as alarms began to go off inside.

"What's going on?"

"We've been hit! We're going down!"

"Abandon ship!"

Everyone got off just in time, as their ship hit the ground and exploded, haven taken too much damage to stay airborne. They didn't have much time to access their situation, however, as a pair of Metal Shooters descended towards them.

"Intruders detained. Surrender now or be destroyed!"

Chazz, annoyed by the detour, stepped forward with his duel disk at the ready. Bastion soon joined him.

"Fat chance! We'll take you on right now!"

"Very well, challenge accepted."

"Be careful, guys. We don't have a lot of time."

"Don't worry, Jaden. We'll have them taken care of before you know it."

GAME ON!

Bastion/Chazz: 8000

Metal Shooters: 8000

"I'll start us off with Gil Garth (1800/1200) in attack mode. Next, I'll set two cards face down and end my turn."

"My turn, initiating draw phase. I summon Mechanical Chaser (1850/800), attack position."

"And I activate my Hidden Soldiers trap card! Since your summoned a monster, I can special summon Dark Jeroid (1200/1500) from my hand! And when he's summoned, one of your monsters loses 800 attack points (1850-1050)."

"Result undesirable. Set one card face down, activate Future Fusion. Monster of choice: Gatling Dragon. Turn end."

"Now its my turn, and I'll tribute Dark Jeroid in order to summon Armed Dragon Level 5! Attack his Mechanicalchaser!"

"Attack declaration acknowledged, activating Sakeretsu Armor. Armed Dragon destroyed!"

"Nice try, but I activate Trap Jammer! Now our monsters are safe."

With the trap having failed, Armed Dragon continued his attack, smashing the machine with his fists.

Metal Shooters: 6550

"Now Gil Garth, attack them directly!"

Bastion's fiend slashed them with his sword, causing them to momentarily spark before regaining control.

Metal Shooters: 4750

"I'll end my turn there, and with that Armed Dragon evolves from level 5 to 7!"

"Draw. Activating Soul Exchange. Tribute Armed Dragon Level 7, summon Satellite Cannon (0/0)."

Chazz's dragon disappeared in a flash of light as a sphere was launched from the ground into space. From the spot where it launched rose up a control panel, a screen depicting the satellite orbiting the planet.

"Turn end. Satellite Cannon's effect activates. Gains 1000 attack points during the end phase (0-1000)."

"Then its my turn, and I'll begin by tributing Gil Garth to summon Dark Ruler Ha Des (2450/1500). Attack his Cannon!"

The horned ruler let loose a breath of fire, scorching the control panel. Although neither it or the monster it was controlling were destroyed, the metal shooters had to shield themselves from the intense heat.

Metal Shooters: 3350

"I'll end my turn there."

"Turn start, draw. Future Fusion now activates, summon Gatling Dragon (2600/1200). Activate effect. Flip coin 3 times."

Three coins materialized in air and flipped themselves, one of them landing on heads.

"Destroy cards up to number of heads. Target: Dark Ruler Ha Des."

The new machine emptied its entire load on the Dark Ruler, causing him to shriek before being silenced.

"Attack directly with my monsters."

Bastion and Chazz braced for impact as they were bombarded by the attacks, their life points plummeting.

Bastion/Chazz: 4400

"Turn end."

"Alright, enough of this! I activate Level Modulation to bring back Armed Dragon Level 7, but I'll get rid of it to summon Armed Dragon Level 10! And by discarding a card, all of your face up monsters are destroyed!"

Chazz's monster unleashed various missiles from its back, destroying Gatling Dragon before flying up into space and hitting the Satellite Cannon, the machine slowly descending to earth while sparking.

"Next I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back the X-Head Cannon I just discarded. Attack them directly and end this duel!"

Chazz's monsters besieged their opponents, finshing them off just as Satellite Cannon crashed down on top of them, taking them out in a brilliant explosion.

Metal Shooters: 0000

Looking back towards the mothership, they saw the ramp slowly rising up.

"Come on, we need to move!"

The 9 took off, managing to scramble up the ramp just before it closed. Before any of them could regret their decision, the ship took off for parts unknown.
