Chapter 5: Let the Battles Begin!
Yusei and Akiza pulled up to the old Enforcers hideout, yet another run-down building in Satellite, but this building held many memories for Yusei. He recalled both the good times and the tumultuous ending with great clarity.
"This was the old Enforcers hideout?" Leo asked, "It looks like a dump."
"Leo!" Luna admonished, "They haven't been here for years!"
"It's okay Luna," Yusei soothed, "Leo's right, this place was a dump. But we made it OUR dump. It was a place where we dreamed of escaping from Satellite, where we made all sorts of plans. Most of them never came to pass, but Kalin never gave up hope."
"Before he went super power crazy and became a Dark Signer," Leo pointed out
"Nobody's perfect," Luna said as Akiza killed the engine.
"Yeah," the psychic duelist added, "People change. I still am haunted by some of the things I've done as the Black Rose Witch."
"You were brainwashed, that doesn't count!" Leo argued.
Luna groaned. "There's just no arguing with you, is there?"
"Nope!" Leo agreed as he climbed out, "Now let's go kick some bad guy butt!" He ran over to Crow and Jack, who had already taken shelter in the entrance hall of the old hideout.
"We don't even know where the bad guys are!" Luna shouted after him, following at a slower pace.
"Those twins," Akiza commented as she and Yusei also followed into the building. "I can only imagine how much of a handful they were as toddlers."
"Twins can be a handful, no matter which parents have them or what age they're at," Yusei pointed out.
"If you two are done," Jack interrupted, "Then let's figure out what we're doing here in Satellite."
Yusei nodded. "Right. Crow, see if that map is still hanging on the wall upstairs. We'll divide Satellite into different sections and we'll each search each sector carefully."
"And after that?" Jack asked.
"We'll see."
"When do we get to fight the bad guys?" Leo asked.
"If we find them," Yusei began, "Then we'll only fight if we have to."
"Yeah!"
"Let's make this quick," Crow said, bringing the map down and plunking it on the table. "I'm ready to get this over with."
"What, so you can go find that girl you saw?" Jack asked.
Crow smiled. "I don't see why not. It's not every day you see a girl with a silver mark instead of a gold mark." He pointed to his marks. "We'd be two birds of a feather."
"You don't even know the girl! And what's this about a silver mark?" Jack looked confused. "I'd heard different colored marks were only for serious criminals. I wouldn't waste my time looking for her."
"Jack's right Crow," Yusei agreed, "We gotta stay focused."
"Lighten up, will ya?" Crow grumbled, "Let's just get going."
Moments later, the Signers were ready to split up and search for clues. "Good luck everyone!" Yusei called.
"Don't worry; we'll save some bad guys for you!" Leo yelled, standing in the back of Akiza's car.
"Would you sit down?!" Luna snapped, holding Kuribon in her arms.
"Let's do this!" Crow shouted and took off back the road they had taken to get there.
"See you guys in a bit," Jack said, driving off.
"Be careful Yusei," Akiza said, looking at Yusei briefly before she too turned and drove off in another direction. Yusei drove off, eyes alert for anything.
Dani was irritated. Mostly, she was mad at the smaller guy in a black skull mask because of the comments he had made shortly before chaining Yugi and Kaiba to him and his companion for a Duel within a rather large ring of black fire. Part of her was irked that she wasn't going to do anything but watch, but another part of her was excited, because she was going to most likely see some more from the two legendary duelists. She had heard stories about them as she grew up, even more so when she began dueling with her Blue-Eyes White Dragons, but she had never expected to actually witness them working together! Sure, she had seen highlights of their ancient duels when the TVs occasionally showed documentaries, but seeing old highlights and actually witnessing the duels were two completely different things!
"This will be a two on two duel," announced the larger grunt. "We'll each have 4000 Life Points and will alternate turns. I'll go, then you'll go, then my partner will go, and so on. Also, none of us can attack on the first turn. Is that acceptable?"
"Whatever gets you morons out of the way quicker," Kaiba answered. Yugi simply nodded.
"Let's Duel!" the four Duelists cried simultaneously.
Yugi LP: 4000 Kaiba LP: 4000 Grunt 1 LP: 4000 Grunt 2 LP: 4000
"I'll go first!" announced the larger grunt, "Draw!" He studied his hand momentarily. "I play the spell card Terraforming, which allows me to add a Field Spell from my Deck to my hand." The grunt grabbed the card his Duel Disk stuck out from the deck. "Now I play the Field Spell Pandemonium!" The circle of fire was filled with orange clouds as several twisted yellow stone pillars rose up here and there. One actually dislodged Dani from her viewpoint of the duel, causing her to leap off the pillar with a yelp of surprise. She landed a bit awkwardly on the now yellow stone ground, shocked by what had just occurred.
"That felt real!" she exclaimed, "Holograms shouldn't be able to do that!"
"Little lady, you have no idea who you're messing with," the larger grunt said.
The smaller grunt cackled. "Yeah, with the Master's abilities, the Duels are for real!"
"The Master?" Yami repeated with a questioning look.
"Our boss," explained the smaller grunt, "Count yourself really unlucky if you ever meet the guy, because he's the last person you want to meet."
"Would you like to explain to him what our plan for this wretched world is, you moron?" asked the larger grunt.
"It would take too long," replied the oblivious grunt.
The larger grunt groaned and smacked his mask with his free hand. "Ugh. Why do I always get paired with this idiot? I summon the Archfiend Heiress in Defense mode!"
Archfiend Heiress: Atk 1000, Def 0, LV 3
A purple female fiend appeared onto the field, holding her skull staff in front of her to guard herself.
"I place one card facedown and end my turn," said the larger grunt.
"Then it's my move!" Yugi declared, drawing a card "And I'll start by summoning Queen's Knight in Attack Mode!"
Queen's Knight: Atk 1500, Def 1600, LV 4
A female knight in red and purple armor appeared and settled down in front of Yugi. "I place one card facedown and I'll end my turn."
"This is going to be fun!" said the smaller grunt, a sadistic glee evident in his voice. "Draw! I summon the Archfiend Cavalry in Attack mode!"
Archfiend Cavalry: Atk 1900, Def 0, LV 4
A wicked looking skeleton knight with red armor on a flaming blue horse appeared on the field.
"I'll end my turn with two face-downs," the smaller grunt announced. "Next!"
"Finally, my turn," Kaiba grumbled, "And I'll start by summoning Familiar Knight in Defense mode."
Familiar Knight: Atk 1200, Def 1400, LV 3
"Next, I play Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two more cards." Kaiba grinned as he saw the cards he had drawn. "I'll finish with three cards facedown."
"Now the battle begins!" announced the larger grunt. "I draw! Prepare to meet your doom! I summon the Archfiend General in Attack mode!"
Archfiend General; Atk 2100, Def 800, LV 4
An orange clad archfiend appeared next to Archfiend Heiress and roared at the female knight across from him.
"It would seem my fiend doesn't like your knight," chuckled the larger grunt. "Let's not keep him waiting then. Attack Queen's Knight, Archfiend General! Savage Slash!" The orange archfiend pulled out a wicked looking sword and charged towards Yugi and his knight.
"I don't think so!" Kaiba declared. "Reveal facedown! Attack Guidance Armor! Now your Archfiend has to attack the monster of my choosing, and the monster I choose is Familiar Knight!"
"Why would he do that?" exclaimed the smaller grunt. The creepy looking armor materialized around the Familiar Knight and, like a moth drawn to the light, Archfiend General flew away from Queen's Knight and instead cut Familiar Knight into two pieces. Kaiba looked at Yami, who grinned.
"The Pyramid of Light fiasco," Yami said simply.
Kaiba nodded and placed a card on his Duel Disk. A dark metallic grounded dragon appeared on Kaiba's side of the field.
Rare Metal Dragon: Atk 2400, Def 1200, LV 4
"What?! How'd you summon that monster?!" shouted the smaller grunt.
"Familiar Knight's special ability," Kaiba answered calmly. "When it's destroyed, we all can Special Summon a level four monster from our hand."
"And I'm using it to summon King's Knight!" Yami announced. A bulky man in red and gold armor appeared next to his female counterpart.
King's Knight: Atk 1600, Def 1400, LV 4
"And because I have both King's and Queen's Knight out," Yami continued, "I'm allowed to summon Jack's Knight from my Deck!" A tall knight clad in blue armor joined his two companions in front of Yami.
The larger grunt paused, as if taking that development in. "Fine. Then I'll summon Infernalqueen Archfiend in Defense mode and end my turn."
Infernalqueen Archfiend: Atk 900, Def 1500, LV 4
A skeletal effeminate archfiend clad in a purple and red cloak landed in front of the grunt, crouched down in Defense position.
The smaller grunt looked at his hand, then groaned. "I don't have any level four monsters. That just isn't fair."
"Trying to destroy us isn't fair either," Dani pointed out, currently sitting on a yellow stone platform raised up about five feet from the ground. It gave her a decent view of the duel, so she wasn't complaining. However, she was scared simply because the monsters were apparently real. She'd heard about Duels like that during the terrorizing reign of the Black Rose Witch before the Fortune Cup, but she never expected to witness one firsthand! She didn't show that fear, simply to deny the grunts the satisfaction, but she was worried nonetheless.
"You stay out of this!" the grunt snapped.
"How can I stay out when I'm trapped here with you knuckleheads?!" Dani practically snarled, "Yugi, thrash these idiots!"
Yami grinned. "With pleasure." He touched the top card on his Deck and felt a jolt. When he drew it, his grin only intensified.
"Slifer!" Yugi exclaimed, heard only by Yami, "The only Egyptian god card we have left."
'It'll do for now' Yami thought back. Out loud he said "I sacrifice my three knights to call forth my ultimate creature!" The knights transformed into orbs of light that rose into the sky and created a cover of storm clouds, lightning crashing all around. One landed too close to Dani for comfort, causing her to curse and wonder why the universe seemed to be out to get her during this Shadow Duel. "Bringer of thunder and skies that roar, dragon god it is time to soar. Show force of unmatched height, instill hope with thine might. I summon Slifer, the Sky Dragon!" As the red divine dragon descended, Dani and the grunts looked on in absolute awe. Slifer roared and sent echoes shivering throughout Satellite. Far away, Kuribon squealed in fear, causing Luna to look around for the cause as she comforted the spirit. The other Signers felt the pulse of energy emitted by the god card as well, distracting them briefly from their search pattern.
"Something's happening," Yusei said to himself, "But what?" The closest Signer was Crow and he had gotten a hunch something was going on when the storm clouds covered the midday sun.
"That's never a good sign," Crow commented, "Better go check this out. Figures, it's always the new guy who gets the first tussle with the bad guys. Oh well, time to show the Crimson Dragon it didn't make a mistake by choosing me!" He drove his Duel Runner off the highway and began to comb the streets to try and find the cause of the disturbance.
Slifer the Sky Dragon: Atk/Def 3000, LV 12
"Now witness the divine power of Slifer!" Yami announced, "Attack Archfiend General!" Slifer roared and unleashed a giant fireball which consumed the orange Archfiend.
Grunt 1 LP: 3100
Dani's eyes were gleaming with excitement. "What power! This dragon, just wow! I see it, but I can barely believe it!"
"And with that, I end my turn," Yami announced, his usual fierce glare replacing his wolfish grin once again.
"My turn," said the smaller grunt, bravado gone. "I summon the Tuner monster Dark Resonator in Defense mode!"
"Tuner monster?" Kaiba repeated.
"It's the main component for a Synchro Summon!" Dani called to him, "Be careful, he's getting ready to Synchro Summon!"
"Your girlfriend is right," cackled the smaller grunt.
"We're definitely not dating!" Dani shouted, appalled by the idea.
"She is NOT my girlfriend!" Kaiba growled at the same time.
"Whatever, I am Tuning my Dark Resonator with my Archfiend Cavalry." The ugly little Tuner monster dissolved into three purple stars that turned into three purple rings that surrounded the Archfiend Cavalry, who dematerialized into four more purple stars. "Behold, as the shadows consume the light and create even darker shadows to reveal a world without light! I Synchro Summon Chaos King Archfiend!" A slender blue and red figure with flaming bat-like wings attached to its arms and smoke billowing out from its head appeared from the dark light that erupted from the purple circles and took its place in front of the grunt.
Chaos King Archfiend: Atk/Def 2600, LV 7
"A costly mistake!" interrupted Yami, "As by summoning it in attack mode, Slifer's second mouth opens and reduces your monster's attack points by two thousand! Go Slifer, Holy Lightning!" Slifer's bottom mouth closed and the top mouth opened, sending a stream of lightning at the Chaos King Archfiend, who withstood the attack, but looked severely weakened.
Chaos King Archfiend: Atk 600, Def 2600
The smaller grunt paused. "Fine. I'm still attacking Kaiba's Rare Metal Dragon!"
"What?!" exclaimed Yami, Yugi, Kaiba, and Dani simultaneously.
"My Archfiend has the power of Chaos!" yelled the grunt, "When he attacks, he can switch the Attack and Defense of the battling monsters!" The Archfiend released a cloud of smoke, causing Kaiba to start coughing. When it cleared, his dragon looked weaker than before. The opposite could be said for the Chaos King Archfiend.
Rare Metal Dragon: Atk 1200, Def 2400. Chaos King Archfiend: Atk 2600, Def 600. The Archfiend grabbed the Rare Metal Dragon with his flaming wings, burning it to ashes, then obliterating the ashes with a fiery explosion. Kaiba screamed in agony as the damage overtook him, feeling briefly as though every cell in his body was alight.
Kaiba LP: 2800
"Kaiba!" Yami cried, "Are you alright?"
The original Blue-Eyes Duelist gasped for air shortly before straightening up. "I'm fine. It'll take more than that to defeat me. You of all people should know that."
"Must be all that pride protecting you, right?" Dani commented. Kaiba merely glared at her in response.
"How touching," the smaller grunt said, "I'll end my turn."
Kaiba drew his card and looked at the three cards in his hand. 'Now I draw that card,' he lamented in his head. "I summon Peten the Dark Clown in Defense mode and end my turn." A clown with a black and white mask appeared in front of Kaiba and crouched down, making faces at his opponents.
Peten the Dark Clown: Atk 500, Def 1200, LV 3
"The great Seto Kaiba is reduced to cowering behind a monster in Defense mode?" mocked the larger grunt as he drew a card and grinned. "I activate the spell card Axe of Despair and equip it to my Archfiend General! Now he gains an additional 1000 Attack points!"
Archfiend General: Atk 3100
"Next, I'll activate my Infernalqueen Archfiend's special ability. Once per turn, I can give an Archfiend on my side of the field a power boost, good for another 1000 Attack points!"
Archfiend General: Atk 4100
"4100 Attack points?!" Dani shouted, "That ain't good."
"Not for Yugi, no," agreed the larger grunt, "Now destroy that god and show him the power of the Master!"
"I don't think so," Yugi replied, "I activate my Trap, Mirror Force!"
"NO!"
"Oh yes, now your Archfiend is destroyed, as well as all other attack position monsters on the field." The smaller grunt swore as the rainbow colored force shattered both Archfiend General and Chaos King Archfiend. "Care to try something else?"
"No. I end my turn by summoning Desrook Archfiend in Defense mode," said the larger grunt. A black and white weird octopus like archfiend appeared in front of the grunt.
Desrook Archfiend: Atk 1100, Def 1800, LV 3
"My turn!" Yami announced, drawing a card.
Slifer: Atk/Def 4000
"Now Slifer has enough Attack points to wipe out your comrade's Life Points!" Yami said to the larger grunt, "Now go my Sky Dragon! Attack his Life Points directly!"
"I activate the Trap, Archfiend's Roar!" yelled the smaller grunt, with a hint of panic in his voice as the dragon god unleashed an enormous fireball in his direction, "It'll cost me 500 Life Points, but I can special summon a monster from the grave to take the hit for me! Come forth Chaos King Archfiend!" The revived Synchro monster held its flaming wings in front of his master, blocking the attack, but the flames consumed the monster, leaving the smaller grunt's field with just one facedown.
Grunt 2 LP: 3500
"Fine. I end my turn." Yami said.
The smaller grunt gave an audible sigh of relief. "Draw! I summon Darkbishop Archfiend in Defense mode and end my turn."
Darkbishop Archfiend: Atk 300, Def 1400, LV 3
"Well look who's cowering now," Kaiba said as he drew. "I summon Spear Dragon in Attack mode!" The blue and yellow pterodactyl-like dragon appeared in front of Kaiba.
Spear Dragon: Atk 1900, Def 0, LV 4
"Now Spear Dragon, attack that Archfiend Heiress!" Spear Dragon flew and stabbed the purple demon, shattering it. "Spear Dragon inflicts piercing damage."
"What?! Agh!" exclaimed the larger grunt as the pain washed over him.
Grunt 1 LP: 2100
"And now Spear Dragon switches into Defense mode." Kaiba announced. "I end my turn."
"Impressive, but when you destroyed my Heiress, you allowed me to add one Archfiend from my deck to my hand. Now I draw!" He looked at the card he drew. "I activate the Equip Spell Falling Down! Now I can take control of one of my opponent's monsters. Now come to me Spear Dragon!" The dragon flew from Kaiba's side of the field and landed in front of the grunt, who shifted it out of Defense mode. "Go and destroy that Dark Clown!" Peten let out a scream of agony as he was stabbed and destroyed by the Spear Dragon. Some of the shards hit Kaiba, who gasped as he had the ghostly feeling of being stabbed.
Kaiba LP: 2100
"How does it feel to be stabbed by one of your own monsters?" cackled the smaller grunt.
Kaiba laughed. "I'm fine, since you activated my Trap; Deck Destruction Virus. Because you destroyed my Dark Clown, you now lose ten random cards in your Deck!" The shadowy tentacles reached out from the card and attached themselves to the larger grunt's black Duel Disk. Ten cards were slipped out from the Deck and sent to the Graveyard. "And not only that, but I'm allowed to summon another Dark Clown to take his place!" Another Peten appeared, who bowed and stuck his tongue out at the grunts.
"I switch Spear Dragon to Defense mode and end my turn," growled the larger grunt.
"My turn then," Yami said, drawing a card.
Slifer: Atk/Def 5000
"I summon Magician's Valkyria in Attack mode!" A brunette spellcaster with brown hair and blue-green spellcaster armor, not too dissimilar to Dark Magician Girl, took her place in front of Yami.
Magician's Valkyria: Atk 1600, Def 1800, LV 4 Slifer: Atk/Def 4000
"Now Valkyria, attack that Darkbishop Archfiend! Mystic Scepter Blast!" The female spellcaster fired a green orb of magical energy and destroyed the last archfiend in front of the smaller grunt.
"OH NO!" He screamed and turned to run.
"Now Slifer, take him out!" Yami yelled. The Egyptian god roared and unleashed another giant fireball which hit the unfortunate grunt. He screamed in agony before mercifully falling unconscious, his Life Points reduced to zero.
"No! Steve!" yelled the larger grunt. "You'll pay for that."
"I highly doubt that," Yami countered, "you're next." That made the grunt pause. "I end my turn."
"Good riddance!" Dani said, satisfied. When a guy makes creepy innuendos towards her, she definitely holds no pity for them.
"Looks like I'm up," Kaiba said, drawing. "I summon Vorse Raider in Attack mode!"
Vorse Raider: Atk 1900, Def 1200, LV 4
"Go Vorse Raider, destroy that Desrook Archfiend!" The warrior monster threw his double-bladed weapon high into the air, leaping up and plucking it skillfully out of the air before coming down and slicing the checkered Archfiend in half vertically. The Archfiend shattered, leaving the grunt with his Infernalqueen Archfiend for defense. "Your move."
The grunt growled as he drew a card. He looked at it, then placed a hand over his Deck. "I surrender." The wall of flames died and the field faded, which, unfortunately for Dani, meant the platform she was sitting on faded and she fell to the ground with a painful thud. Yami grinned as he looked at Kaiba, who showed no sign of having just been in a Shadow Duel.
"That went well," Yugi said.
"I wish you'd given me fair warning," grumbled Dani as she joined the two Duelists. Movement from the grunt caught her attention. The larger grunt pressed a button and spoke into a comlink of sorts. Just like that, the grunt was on the ground, convulsing. "Oh my God! Someone help him!" The trio rushed over to the fallen grunt, who had fallen still.
Kaiba examined the grunt. "Still breathing. A bit irregular, but he'll live. Seems he was wearing a shock collar of sorts."
"Can you disable the collar?" Yami asked.
"Now now, no touching my toys!" cackled a voice from a speaker on the collar, "I'd hate to lose another minion."
"Who are you?" Dani demanded.
"The Master," Yami deduced.
"Well, aren't you quite the detective, Mr. Muto," said the Master, "I'm quite impressed you actually followed me here, not like it makes any difference. You gave my little ninja quite the headache."
"What?!" Yugi asked.
"Quiet!" Yami thought to Yugi, a little too quickly.
"In a way, I'm kind of glad that you've made it here," the Master continued, "You'll be able to see what I'm using your precious god cards for."
"I don't care what your plan is," Kaiba interrupted. "I'm going to stop you. I have a company to run and this time travel stuff is keeping me from doing so. Name your time and place."
"Oh, my dear Kaiba," chortled the Master, "Since when has any person with a world changing agenda decided to face the first challenger simply because he demands a battle? No, I'm going to wait and let you battle your way through my minions first. We can't end this story that quickly!"
"Story?" Dani frowned at the peculiar choice of words.
"Ooo, what's this? Another pretty face? Perhaps you'd like to join me in my eventual conquest of Earth."
"Piss off!"
"Cat's got a bark. I like that. I tend to savor the fiery ones as I extinguish their spark slowly and painfully. Whoops, got to go, looks like one of my minions is challenging someone else I have to destroy. Toodles! Ahhh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaa!" With that scary laugh, the speaker fell silent.
"Well that was… scary," Dani said simply, still feeling the chills up her spine.. When she got no response, she continued. "So, any idea who this crazy master person is?"
"No," Yami said, "But I intend to find out and get back the other Egyptian god cards."
"He mentioned something about other minions battling someone," Dani noted, "Maybe we should go help!"
"Right, because there are a bunch of black firewalls popping up all over the place," Kaiba said sarcastically.
Little did Kaiba know how right he was. Yusei had just been contacted by Jack, who was currently engaged in a Turbo Duel with a man in a black skull mask who had created a track lined by black fire and was heading towards Jack's position when a black Duel Runner cut him off.
'That's not Crow's Duel Runner!" he thought. His video communication screen beeped. Yusei pressed the receive button and was greeted by a man in a black skull mask.
"Yusei Fudo." He said in a raspy voice.
"Who wants to know?" Yusei answered.
"The Master wants you out of the picture, I'm here to make sure his wish comes true. I challenge you!" His skull mask began glowing and a wall of black fire rose up along the edges of the road, setting the stage for a Shadow Turbo Duel.
"I don't know who this Master is, but you'll find I'm not going to be taken out that easily!" Yusei said. "I play the Speed Spell Speed World! Let's rev it up!" The Turbo Duel began as both Duelists began down the track.
Grunt 3 LP: 4000, Yusei LP 4000, Speed Counters 0
"I'll go first!" announced the grunt as he drew his card. "I'll begin by summoning Archfiend Cavalry in Attack mode!"
Archfiend Cavalry: Atk 1900, Def 0, LV 4
'Jack likes Archfiend cards,' Yusei thought to himself, 'and if they specialize in that type, this could be a challenge!'
"Next, I play two cards facedown and end my turn!"
"My turn!" Yusei said, "I draw!"
Yusei SC: 1 Grunt SC: 1
"I summon Shield Wing in Defense mode!" Yusei announced, summoning the blue beast to the field.
Shield Wing, Atk 0, Def 900, LV 2
"I place two cards facedown and end my turn." Yusei announced.
"So this is what the Master meant by a defensive game!" said the grunt, "Works fine for me. Draw!"
Yusei SC: 2 Grunt SC: 2
"I summon Terrorking Archfiend in Attack mode!" A regal looking archfiend appeared in the air, white armor and black wings looking rather fearsome.
Terrorking Archfiend: Atk 2000, Def 1500, LV 4
"Now attack that Shield Wing Terrorking!" yelled the grunt. The archfiend grabbed his wicked sword, flew over and slashed at Shield Wing, who blocked the attack, but didn't shatter. "What?"
"Shield Wing needs to be defeated three times to be destroyed in battle," Yusei explained.
"Fine. I end my turn," growled the grunt, zooming ahead.
"My draw!" declared Yusei.
Yusei SC: 3 Grunt SC: 3
"I summon Junk Synchron!" The orange little mechanic monster appeared next to Shield Wing.
Junk Synchron: Atk 1300, Def 500, LV 3
"Now I tune Junk Synchron with my Shield Wing to Synchro Summon Junk Warrior!" Junk Synchron pulled his cord and turned into three green rings that surrounded Shield Wing, who dematerialized into two more silver stars. "Let's rev it up!" The purple mechanical warrior appeared from the light that erupted from the rings and threw a few jabs with his powerful right arm.
"Not bad," the grunt admitted.
"Now go, Junk Warrior, attack that Archfiend Cavalry!" Junk Warrior activated his jets and flew towards the archfiend on horseback.
"Not so fast, I activate my trap; Hate Buster!" The purple card flipped up and began glowing. "Now both our monsters are destroyed, but you take damage equal to Junk Warrior's Attack points!"
"What?!" Archfiend Cavalry stabbed Junk Warrior's incoming fist and both monsters exploded, sending shards of energy towards Yusei.
"I play my trap, Defense Draw!" Yusei's own facedown rose up and blocked the energy shards. "This negates any damage I would have taken and lets me draw another card!" He drew the card from his deck. I place another card facedown and end my turn."
"No monsters left and two facedowns?!" The grunt said incredulously, "I expected better from the Turbo King."
"I'm just getting started," Yusei countered.
Happy birthday to me! Here's my gift to you all, another chapter done early! I'm impressed that this story has almost hit the 500 view mark. I didn't expect something like this, but I'm grateful for all your support. Don't ya just love cliffhangers? :P Alright, to answer your question Rosenkreuz, I do NOT intend to ship Dani with Kaiba. Just because they both wield the Blue-Eyes White Dragon does not mean they have to be an item. Dani may or may not be shipped with someone from the 5D's era, depending on how it fits into the story. Keep them reviews coming!
