A/N: I created almost all of the cards in the deck used by the duelist in this chapter. And I would like to thank everyone who reviewed the previous chapters.
Chapter 5 : The Alchemic Assault
"Well, I have 2 Locator cards and my new Graceful Charity card, who should I duel next?" Said a boy who had been in Domino for about a week.
He looked around the park and noticed Rex Raptor hiding behind a tree watching a someone walk by. The he realized that Rex was hiding from the duelist walking by. The duelist seemed familiar but he couldn't think of where he had seen him before, then he remembered where he had seen him. It was Yugi Motou, the winner of Duelist Kingdom, and the previous Battle City tournament.
Yugi was talking to a young girl who seemed a lot more intelligent than most kids her age.
He overheard the two talking.
"So, you haven't seen Joey any where?" Yugi asked.
"No, I haven't, and I don't really care." The girl said without much interest.
"Why don't you like Joey?" Yugi asked turning to her.
"He's arrogant, idiotic, and he's a little egotistical." She replied.
"Come on Rebecca, he's not that bad." Yugi said a little surprised at what she had to say.
"If you say so Yugi." Rebecca said looking away.
She saw that they were being watched by a boy with blonde hair and cool blue eyes, wearing a black jacket with a red shirt on under it, and blue jeans with a duel disk attached to his arm.
Yugi noticed him to and then turned to Rebecca.
"Maybe we should talk somewhere else, that guy starting to creep out." Rebecca whispered to Yugi.
"Maybe he's thinking about dueling me." Yugi said in a quiet tone with a slight smile.
"Not now, you promised to take me to the museum to see the Egyptian exhibit." She whined.
"Okay I guess I'll ignore him unless he challenges me, then I'll just have to duel him outside the museum." Yugi said looking at Rebecca, who had an angry expression on her face. "After we see the exhibit, of course." Yugi corrected himself quickly.
'Uh oh, I think I better move along they noticed I was watching them.' The boy thought as he turned and walked a short distance from them before turning around.
"Wait, I know who I can duel next I take on Rex Raptor, he seems to be easy. After all, Joey beat him in Duelist Kingdom, and he didn't even make it to the finals of Battle City last year." He said to himself.
Yugi and Rebecca looked around.
"I guess that guy left, and I was looking forward to a duel." Yugi said a little disappointed
"Yugi." Rebecca said in an irritated tone.
"Ok, ok. Lets go then" Yugi said as they walked off.
"Whew, Yugi finally left." Rex whispered to himself.
"Hey Rex Raptor I challenge you to a duel." A voice behind him called out.
Rex jumped before he turned around.
'This was the guy watching Yugi.' Rex thought as he looked over the boy who had challenged him.
"What's your name kid." Rex said wondering who had the nerve to challenge him.
"My name is Lloyd Wiler." The boy said with another smile.
"You'll regret challenging me." Rex said raising the arm with the duel disk on it.
"Wait, not here." Lloyd said, "Lets move into the view of the public."
"Why?" Rex asked.
"I just want everyone to witness your defeat." Lloyd said with a little laughter.
"Whatever." Rex said as he walked around the tree and out into the open park where a few people were standing talking about many things.
"Well, I think its time to start." Lloyd said powering up his duel disk and drawing five cards.
"Prepare to lose." Rex said powering up his own duel disk and drawing as well.
"Let's Duel!" they both said as people turned their attention away as the duel began.
The LED on both duel disks read 4000.
'Okay I have Graceful Charity, two Homunculus the Alchemic Being, Lion of the East and Lizard' Lloyd thought as he surveyed his hand.
"I'll go first." Rex said, "I summon Gilasaurus and I set one card."
Gilasaurus ATK/1400 DEF/400
"I draw." Lloyd said as he looked at the card he had drawn, it was A Teacher Of Alchemy.
"I summon Homunculus The Alchemic Being and play Graceful Charity."
Homunculus The Alchemic Being ATK/1800 DEF/1000
"I activate Magic Jammer and discard a card from my hand." Rex said quickly.
"Oh well." Lloyd said not even phased by the fact that his magic card was negated. "I activate Homunculus' effect." Lloyd said.
"Nothing happened." Rex said confused.
"Not true, I changed Homunculus' Attribute from light to dark." Lloyd replied.
"Why on earth did you do that?" Rex asked.
"Because I wanted to." Lloyd said.
"What is wrong with this clown." Rex said annoyed.
"I attack your monster with Homunculus The Alchemic Being." Lloyd said with a smile.
Rex groaned as his Life Points dropped to 3600.
"I end my turn." Lloyd said.
"What is wrong with you, you smile too much." Rex said drawing a card. "I set a monster in defense mode and end my turn."
"I don't see a problem with smiling." Lloyd said still smiling while he drew a card. 'I drew a Student Of Alchemy card, I can use this.' He thought with a smile. "I summon Teacher Of Alchemy."
Teacher Of Alchemy ATK/1600 DEF/1800
"When I summon Teacher Of Alchemy, I get to special summon a Student Of Alchemy from my hand." Lloyd said.
Student of Alchemy ATK/900 DEF/900
"Now I'll attack your monster with Homunculus." Lloyd said.
Homunculus' attack struck Rex's monster and destroyed it, when the smoke settled Lloyd was still smiling.
"You're really starting to get on my nerves." Rex said through grinding teeth.
"Now I'll attack you directly with my Teacher Of Alchemy and my Student Of Alchemy." Lloyd said through another smile.
Rex growled as his Life Points dropped to 1100.
"I now end my turn." Lloyd said.
"Your really starting to annoy me." Rex said drawing a card. "Now I'll summon Two-headed King Rex, and attack your Student Of Alchemy."
Two-Headed King Rex ATK/1600 DEF/1200
"Oh my poor monster." Lloyd said as his monster was destroyed and his Life Points dropped down to 3200.
"You are way too laid back." Rex said. "I end my turn."
"I don't think I'm too laid back." Lloyd said drawing. "Oh look, I win."
"What are you talking about, I still have a monster on the field and 1100 Life Points left." Rex said angrily.
"I drew the card I needed to win." Lloyd said smiling again. "I'll sacrifice my two monsters to summon Alchemist of Destruction."
Alchemist Of Destruction ATK/2800 DEF/2000
"When Alchemist Of Destruction is summoned any card on the field without "Alchemy" "Alchemist" or "Alchemic" in its name is destroyed." Lloyd explained the monster's effect smiling the entire time.
"What...no I lost." Rex said standing there not moving.
"Now that your open I'll attack you Life Points directly with Alchemist Of Destruction." Lloyd said still smiling all the while as the monster struck Rex. And as Rex fell to his knees from the force of the blow.
"I...I lost, I lost against someone I've never even heard of. It must be a nightmare." Rex said repeatedly, just sitting there on his knees as his Life Points.
"Its not the end of the world, you win some you lose some, its just the way it is. As a fictional man from a great book would say, Its Ka." Lloyd said extending his hand towards Rex.
Rex looked up and couldn't help but smile as he took Lloyd's hand and pulled himself up.
"I guess you're right, here my Locator card and my Serpent Night Dragon." Rex said handing over two cards. "Espa Roba felt bad about cheating, so he gave it back to me at the end of the tournament last year."
"I'll take good care of it, I might even give it back at the end of the tournament, but we never know what may happen. Whatever comes will come and no man can change that as I said before, Its Ka. But I do know one thing." Lloyd said.
"What's that?" Rex asked curiously.
"What we try to do to change our own destiny, is what we were meant to do it is all predetermined as some would say its fate." Lloyd said turning away and smiling as he walked off into the setting sun.
"He was very spiritual and philosophical at the end but the one thing I will never forget about him." Rex said as he watched Lloyd walk away. "He never stopped smiling."
A/N: Ka is a sense of duty or destiny. I forget which one its from but I think Its from the book The Gunslinger or The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King. Ok that was Ch. 5 pleas review and as always flames are welcome, along with story ideas, decks, and character suggestions.
Lloyd: Hello there.
Avatar: Oh hello.
Lloyd: Thanks for letting me win.
Avatar: Your welcome. I don't really like Rex that much and besides, I can't really remember too many of his cards.
Lloyd: Oh well Its like I said what ever comes will come.
