Yu-Gi-Oh season 1 episode 10

Episode 10: sunset showdown part 2

(We cut back to sunset bridge with Artie staring down at the 3 duel assassins).

Artie:

So why are you guys after me?

Nico:

Our employer sent us to take you down cause of your skills as a duelist.

Margo:

And trust us kid we've never lost a target before.

Guibo:

Well except that one time we…

Margo:

Shut up guibo.

Artie:

But I don't understand why you would want to kill a kid like me.

Nico:

It's our job kid. It's what we do. But we're not complete monsters. We'll give you a chance to defend yourself.

Artie:

How?

Nico:

Well… I think that's pretty obvious.

(The 3 men take out their guns and place them on their wrists and all of a sudden they transform into duel disks).

Artie:

What the…

Margo:

Pretty cool huh?

Nico:

We pick these little puppies up in a small town that was ravaged by some outlaws and we… heh. Well…

Margo:

They didn't last very long.

King Arthur:

Doth thou have a plan of escape?

Artie:

I don't even know if I can.

Guibo:

Oh kid if your thinking of running away don't even try it.

Nico:

Guibo's right. If you try to run will all gun you down faster than a jackrabbit having its flesh tore up. So you got 2 choices kid. You can either stand there and let us collect on our bounty, or you can earn the right to live by dueling us.

Artie:

(Sighs) guess I really don't have a choice then.

King Arthur:

Good luck grandson. And take these scoundrels down.

Artie:

Alright, which one of you cowpokes is gonna duel me first?

Nico:

Oh no kid. That's not how this works

Artie:

Huh?

Margo:

It's not gonna be us dueling you one at a time…

Guibo:

It's not?

Margo:

(Sighs) no. See it's gonna be you against all 3 of us together.

Artie:

What?

Nico:

That's right. It's gonna be a 3 on 1 duel.

Artie:

(Gasps).

(Back at reggie's house…).

Tyson:

Sir isn't this a little extreme?

Donovan:

Of course not.

Tyson:

But sir. We've already gotten a strong power from him when he dueled you isn't that enough?

Donovan:

No Tyson. We need this one last test. And then we can put phase 2 into action… retrieve the dragon and destroy Artie.

(Outside of the surveillance room we see Reggie listen in on the conversation and is taken back in shock).

(Back at sunset bridge…).

Nico:

So what's it gonna be kid, you dueling or what?

Artie:

(This is crazy. I've never taken on 3 guys in a duel before. What if I'm not good enough? What if I lose to these guys right on the first… no. I can't think that. I just have to believe I can win). Okay duel assassins bring it on!

(Artie pulls out his duel disk, placed his deck inside it, and activated it).

(As artie does that the field's action duel field generator appears).

Nico:

Smart choice kid, but dumb to. You have no idea what your up against.

Margo:

You sure you don't want to back out kid?

Artie:

No!

Margo:

Welp I warned him.

Nico:

Enough gab, let's tear this punk apart.

Margo/guibo:

With pleasure.

Nico/Margo/guibo/artie:

Let's duel!

Artie:8000

Guibo:8000

Margo:8000

Nico:8000

(Scene cut).

(Turn 1).

Nico:

Okay kid time to show you how we do things in the old west. Look out! I draw! (Draws a card). I'll start by summoning cyber steed in attack mode!

(From a hill we see a mechanical horse appear and jump in front of Nico).

Cyber steed ATK:1300 DEF:1000

Nico:

Next I'll place a card facedown and end my turn.

(A facedown appears in front of Nico).

(Turn 2).

Nico:

Okay Margo your up. Show this kid your skills.

Margo:

With pleasure.

Artie:

Uh oh. I don't like the look on his eye.

Margo:

Here I go, I draw! (Draws a card). (Chuckles) this card is gonna be a real blast. I summon to the field shocker troop blaster!

(A bolt of lightning shoots out of the card and we see a man dressed in lightning armor with a huge rifle on his back pop out of the lightning bolt).

Shocker troop blaster ATK:1000 DEF:950

Margo:

Now of course we can't attack on the first turn but this little guy here has a… let's say way of getting around that little problem.

Artie:

How?

Margo:

How? I'll show you. I activate blaster's special ability. By sending a shocker troop monster from my deck to the grave I can deal 800 points of damage to each player on the field.

Artie:

But if you do that then your partners will take the damage too.

Margo:

True, but I've got something for that. I activate the continuous spell card damage collector unit. With the spell anytime me or my partners would take battle damage or effect damage this spell absorbs it.

Artie:

Huh?

Guibo:

It means that you can't touch our life points. Am I right?

Nico:

Yes guibo.

(Margo sends a monster from his deck to the graveyard and his monster pulls out his rifle and aims at Artie).

Margo:

Alright blaster take aim at the kid… and fire!

(Shocker troop blaster fires a strand of lightning at Artie shocking him a lot).

Artie:7200

Margo:

I'll end my turn there.

(Turn 3).

Guibo:

Alright it's my turn!

Margo:

Don't louse this up for us man.

Guibo:

Don't worry I've got this Margo. (Draws a card). Alright. I'll set 2 cards facedown. Then I'll set a monster in defense mode and end my turn.

(2 facedowns appear in front of guibo).

Margo:

That's it?

Guibo:

Yeah. Is that a problem?

Nico:

No guibo. That's a fine move.

Margo:

Are you serious?

(Nico gives Margo a reassuring look).

Margo:

(Sighs) alright.

(Turn 4).

Nico:

Alright kid we all made our moves now let's see what you can do.

Artie:

With pleasure. I draw! (Draws a card). (Oh this will do nicely). I'll set a monster facedown and set a card facedown. That ends my turn.

(A facedown appears in front of Artie).

(Turn 5).

Margo:

(Scoffs) really. That's your opening move? That pathetic basic move? (Laughs).

Artie:

Just make your move.

Nico:

(Chuckles) you sure kid?

Artie:

Yeah I'm sure.

Nico:

I mean we can stop and restart the duel if you want. Maybe you got a bad draw.

Artie:

No, I was satisfied with my draw.

Nico:

Okay it's your funeral. My turn! (Draws a card). Well lookie here. Seems like I got a good draw too. I summon to the field my cybernetic outlaw in attack mode.

Cybernetic outlaw ATK:1500 DEF:0

Nico:

Next I'll play a little spell called big promotion! With this spell I can target 2 monsters on my field with different levels and change their levels to the amount of both their levels combined. Which means both of them become level 7.

Guibo:

Oh he's bringing out my favorite one.

Nico:

I now overlay my 2 level 7 monsters in order to xyz summon… the most feared, most despicable, most vile, low down, meanest snake in the grass of the new west.

King Arthur:

Be ready.

Nico:

Come out, rank 7, machina desperado!

Machina desperado ATK:0 DEF:1000

King Arthur:

Huh. Guess I was wrong.

Artie:

(I don't know. Looks can be deceiving).

Nico:

You'd be wise to have that worrisome look on your face. And here's why. Machina desperado attack his pathetic facedown!

(Machina desperado pulls out a couple of six shooters from his pockets and fires out 3 energy bullets at Artie's facedown).

Artie:

Nice try! But my facedown was my diamond blade knight! See he has a nifty little effect. Once per turn he can't be destroyed in battle. Even though you won't take any damage from this attack you failed to destroy my monster.

Nico:

I wouldn't be so confident. See my desperado has a nifty little trick too.

Artie:

Huh?

Nico:

Observe as I activate his special ability! By using 1 overlay unit my monster can instantly destroy your monster.

(The energy bullets get bigger and easily pierce through the facedown card destroying Artie's knight).

Artie:

My monster!

Nico:

And that's not all. See my monster's other effect now kicks in. Since I used an overlay unit, I can take the monster I just destroyed and add it to my monster as an overlay unit.

Artie:

No way.

Nico:

Oh yes way.

(Diamond blade knight reappears on the field and is transformed into an overlay unit and is added to machina desperado).

Nico:

And also he gains attack equals to your monster's defense points.

Machina desperado ATK:1900 DEF:1000

Nico:

With that I'll end my turn there. Hope you enjoyed that little demonstration kid, cause there's plenty more where that came from.

(Scene cut).

Margo:

(Laughs) I can't believe the kid fell for nico's bluff. Man this is one dumb kid. (With his field empty he's wide open for a direct attack).

(Turn 6).

Margo:

I draw! (Draws a card and smiles). Let's see how well you take my full assault kid! Shocker troop blaster attack the kid directly!

Nico:

No Margo wait!

Margo:

What for? We're about to be ahead of this brat!

(Troop blaster pulls out his rifle and fires off a couple blasts at Artie).

Artie:

Don't count on it!

Margo:

What?

Artie:

I activate my facedown card reinforcement call! This trap let's me special summon a monster from my deck to the field when you declare a direct attack! So I summon to the field noble knight enrai!

Noble knight enrai ATK:1900 DEF:1100

(Enrai pulls out his sword and hits the shots back to troop blaster destroying him).

Margo:

(Growls) why you little…

Artie:

That may have not done any damage to you, but that should show you not to underestimate me.

Margo:

Your gonna pay for that punk! I end my turn with a facedown.

(Turn 7).

Guibo:

Don't worry Margo I'll take him down!

Margo:

Oh we are doomed.

Guibo:

My turn! (Draws a card). (Groans). I'll just set a monster facedown and end my turn.

Margo:

What did I tell you?

Nico:

Easy Margo. I'm sure guibo has a plan. (Considering he has never lost a duel before. Good work guibo toying with this kid).

(Turn 8).

Artie:

Alright now's my chance. I draw! (Draws a card) I activate the spell card iron sword draw! By tributing a warrior monster on my field I get to draw cards equal to the level of the monster I tribute. So I tribute my enrai to draw 4 cards! (Draws 4 cards).

Margo:

Well yippy skippy for you kid.

Artie:

Next I activate the effect of my level 5 noble knight brawler. By removing one noble knight monster from my graveyard I can special summon this monster from my hand without tributing.

(As artie plays the card we see a huge knights in gold armor with tiny blades on his knuckles come out onto the field).

Noble knight brawler ATK:2000 DEF:1200

Artie:

Next I normal summon to the field my noble knight jiren! And since I just summoned a noble knight monster brawler's other effect activates. By sending a warrior type monster from my hand to the graveyard I can lower this monster's level by 1 (does so).

Guibo:

Oh no 2 level 4 monsters! I'm so scared. (Chuckles).

Margo:

Yeah what a waste of a move. Even if you do summon a strong monster you won't be able to deal damage to us thanks to my spell.

Artie:

Yeah I was thinking that too. Until I remembered this. I activate the spell card spell shattering arrow!

Margo:

No way!

Artie:

Yes way. Spell shattering arrow has the ability to destroy ever face up spell card on the field and deal 500 points of damage to everyone.

(3 light arrows appear from the card and destroy margo's spell damage collector).

Nico:7500

Margo:7500

Guibo:7500

Artie:

And I'm far from done with my turn. Now I overlay my 2 level 4 monsters to xyz summon noble knight gantz!

Noble knight of thunder gantz ATK:1850 DEF:2100

Artie:

Now I activate his effect. By using 1 overlay unit I can send 1 thunder monster from my hand to the graveyard and this monster gains 800 atack points. (Sends his thunder eel to the graveyard).

Noble knight of thunder gantz ATK:2650 DEF:2100

Artie:

Alright. Time to get revenge for my monster. Noble knight gantz attack nico's machina desperado!

(Gantz pulls out a sword fully charged with electricity and charges towards desperado slicing him in half).

Nico:6750

Nico:

Hmm not bad.

Artie:

There's plenty more where that came from.

Nico:

Maybe. But you just made your second mistake.

Artie:

What do you mean?

Nico:

I'll show you. From my hand I activate the trap card outlaw ambush!

Artie:

Say what?

King Arthur:

A trap card that can be activated from the hand?

Nico:

I can see your surprised. I can only activate this trap from my hand when a monster on my side of the field is destroyed in battle. With this trap I can target one monster on your side of the field and destroy it.

(We see a huge gun pops out of the card and shoot down gantz destroying it).

Nico:

Oh and after sending this trap from my hand to the graveyard I can special summon a monster from my hand or deck whose attack is equal to or less than the monster that was destroyed.

(A card pops out of nico's deck).

Nico:

And I've been waiting to summon this monster out for a while. So from my deck I special summon cyber vulture in attack mode.

(From the sky we see a shadow descend and the shadow reveals to be a huge metal vulture with red glowing eyes).

Cyber vulture ATK:1000 DEF:2800

King Arthur:

That's not good.

Artie:

(And I have a feeling it's about to get a whole lot worse).

Nico:

(Chuckles) you've made 2 mistakes already in this duel. I'm starting to wonder if we've gotten the right kid at all.

(Back in the surveillance room…).

Donovan:

What in the world? How is that even possible?

(Just then the doors to the surveillance room opens up and we see a man in a long black coat with a slight hair condition walk into the room).

?:

Quite simple mr. caspien.

(Scene cut).

Tyson:

Who are you? Cow did you get in here without access?

Donovan:

Your voice. Your…

?:

Yes I'm the man you spoke with on the phone. My name is Noah. Noah kateshi.

(Back at sunset bridge…).

Artie:

This doesn't make sense. How can you have cards that shouldn't exist?

Margo:

(Chuckles) why it's all thanks to our boss.

Artie:

Your boss?

Kateshi:

Quite impressive. The decks they were given were specially created by my team. We kept them in the black market for duelists and assassins alike.

Donovan:

Just what kind of decks did you make?

Kateshi:

Nico's deck specializes in traps and spells that can only be activated from the hand or deck. Margo's deck uses monsters that deal a ton of damage and continuous spells that block damage. As for guibo over there… well… you'll soon see what it's capable of.

Tyson:

Sir can we even trust this man and what he's saying?

Donovan:

Yes. Now that we know just how strong these assassins are, it will be more interesting to see how this boy handles this situation.

(Back at sunset hill…).

King Arthur:

This is not good artie.

Artie:

I'll just end my turn by placing 1 card facedown and end my turn.

(Turn 9).

Nico:

I draw! (Draws a card). I'll activate the spell card pot of greed. (Draws 2 cards) next I'll play 2 cards facedown and end my turn.

(Turn 10).

Margo:

My turn. (Draws a card) and it's time for me to get even on what you did to my monster. I summon shocker troop lightning warrior in attack mode.

(A knight with light blue armor jumps onto the field and pulls out a sword made entirely out of lightning).

Shocker troop lightning warrior ATK:1700 DEF:1200

Margo:

Next I'll attack your noble knight gantz.

Artie:

But your monster is weaker than mine.

Nico:

Not a problem. I play my facedown power conductor! By tributing a monster facedown monster on the field I can target a monster on the field and give that monster an extra 1000 attack points. Guibo, let me use your facedown.

Guibo:

No problem.

(As guibo's facedown monster is tributed we see margo's lightning warrior power up).

Shocker troop lightning warrior ATK:2700 DEF:1200

Margo:

Now lightning warrior, destroy this brat's knight. Lightning blade strike.

(Lightning warrior charges towards gantz and slices him into pieces).

Artie:6350

Margo:

And now I activate lightning warrior's effect. Since he destroyed a monster in battle with him I can special summon a shocker troop monster from my hand to the field. So from my hand I summon to the field shocker troop thunder soldier.

Shocker troop thunder soldier ATK:1350 DEF:1000

Margo:

Now thunder soldier attack the kid directly!

Artie:

Not today. I activate my facedown protection orb. This trap negates your attack after I draw a card and if it's a monster I can send it to the graveyard to stop your attack.

(Artie draws the top card of his deck and it's his level 6 noble knight escanor).

Margo:

(Growls) that's the 2nd time you've stopped my attack punk. You think your so clever, well your not!

Nico:

Easy Margo. Let this kid get lucky. Soon his luck is gonna run out.

Margo:

(Sighs) fine. I end my turn.

(Turn 11).

Guibo:

Alright! Time to get things rolling. I draw! (Draws a card). Yes, just what I needed. I summon the tuner monster soul wisp!

(Out of guibo's duel disk we see a small orb appear).

Soul wisp ATK:100 DEF:100

Guibo:

Next I play the spell card monster reborn to bring back the monster that was tributed. So welcome back my soul spirit oni!

Soul spirit oni ATK:1250 DEF:1000

Guibo:

And now I activate souls wisp's effect. I can target 1 monster on my field and double it's level. So now my soul spirit oni jumps from level 3 all the way to level 6.

Nico:

(This is it. This is what we've been waiting for).

Guibo:

Now I tune my level 2 soul wisp with my level 6 soul spirit oni. Spirits of light and dark… combine your eternal power with these 2 spirits to create the ultimate monster! I synchro summon… come forth level 8… dark soul giant oni!

(A very large shadow appears on the field and forms into a very disturbing looking monster).

Dark soul giant oni ATK:0 DEF:0

Margo:

All this time he's done nothing this whole duel and this is what he brings out when he does something. That wimp?

Nico:

Maybe I was wrong.

Guibo:

Don't give up on me yet. Thanks to my giant oni it cannot be destroyed by battle. But for now I'll end my turn with this card facedown.

(Turn 12).

King Arthur:

This beith insane. Why would he bring out such a weak monster?

Artie:

Not sure. (But even though his monster cannot be destroyed by battle he's completely left his life points defenseless). Alright my move! (Draws a card).

Guibo:

Ha! I activate my trap card soul drain! With this trap you reveal your hand and if any of them are spell cards then you send them to the grave and my monster will gain 1000 attack equal to the total number of spells you send to the grave. So show me your hand.

(Artie reveals his hand and we see 2 spells in his hand).

Guibo:

So with that my monster gains 2000 attack.

Artie:

Yeah well it's still my turn. (Although the 1 card I could've used is gone. But I can't worry about that. There are other ways I can get Excalibur dragon out, but for now I think I have a way of bringing out one of my best monsters out).

Nico:

Hey kid. You gonna make a move? We haven't got all day you know.

King Arthur:

I hate to say it Artie, but they are correct. We must make a move now.

Artie:

I know. (Alright. Time to make a move). I activate the effect of recovery knight from my hand. By sending him from hand to the grave I get to draw 3 cards from my deck but in exchange I have to send 3 cards from my deck to the graveyard (does so). Next I play the spell double summon. This spell let's me summon twice this turn. So I summon to the field noble knight Lancelot iron nobleman.

Margo:

Oh joy. More monsters for the slaughter.

Artie:

Now I activate the effect of my mystic thunder eel from my graveyard.

Guibo:

What? When did he have that in his graveyard?

Margo:

You idiot. That was the thunder monster he sent to the graveyard due to his gantz's effect.

Guibo:

Oh yeah.

Artie:

Thanks to my eel's effect if I have 2 monsters on my field with the same level I can increase their level by 2.

Nico:

2 level 6 monsters.

Artie:

Now I overlay my 2 level 6 monsters to xyz summon noble knight belfire! And now I activate the effect of belfire. When he's xyz summoned I can target a monster on your side of the field and negate its effects and lower its attack to 0 until the end of this turn.

Margo:

He can't be serious.

Artie:

And now I target your vulture!

Cyber vulture ATK:0 DEF:2800

Artie:

And that also activated belfire's other effect. By using 1 overlay unit belfire's attack doubles until the end of this turn. Now belfire attack nico's cyber vulture!

(Belfire charged towards cyber vulture).

Guibo:

Oh no Nico!

Margo:

Don't worry fatso he's got this.

Nico:

And that was strike 3 kid. From my hand I activate the spell card metal sphere! With this spell I draw the top 3 cards from my deck and if any of them are monsters then I can send them to the grave and the damage I take is cut down by 1000 for each monster.

(Nico draws the top 3 cards of his deck and he draws 2 monsters).

Nico:4750

Artie:

I'll end my turn. (Crap. That's the third time they've stopped major damage. These guys are good, but with that last move I made I should be set up for next turn).

(Turn 13).

Nico:

My turn. (Draws a card) I'll just end my turn there.

(Turn 14).

Margo:

(Draws a card). I'll also end my turn.

(Turn 15).

Margo:

Now don't mess this up for us fatso. You got an actual good monster on the field.

Guibo:

Okay, okay! I draw. (Draws a card). Ah man a dead draw. I'll end my turn as well.

Margo:

Agh crap.

(Turn 16).

Artie:

This is my chance. It's my turn. (Draws a card).

Margo:

Not so fast kid. I play this. By sending my shocker troop lightning bug from my hand to the graveyard I can target a monster on your side of the field and destroy it.

(A lightning bug pops out of the graveyard and swarms around belfire forcing him to pull out his sword and Alice himself up).

Margo:

Now you can't use that monster to deal us a ton of damage anymore.

Artie:

That's fine by me. Cause I've got something else to deal you big damage. First I'll summon my level 4 tuner monster white light necromancer. Now I activate the effect of my iron nobleman from my graveyard. Since I control a level 4 monster on my side of the field, I can remove this monster from the graveyard and special summon a level 4 or lower monster from my deck to the field.

(A card pops out of Artie's deck).

Artie:

I summon to the field my noble knight of shadows kreya.

(The field fills up with shadows and we see a dark piece of armor pop out from the shadow and a dark grey woman forms into the armor).

Noble knight kreya ATK:1750 DEF:1300

Artie:

Next I play my facedown spell card spell of growth. With this spell I take 2 monsters in my graveyard and not only send them back into my deck but I combine their levels, target 1 monster, and change it's level to the total combined levels of the 2 monsters I sent back into my deck. So I'll send my level 4 Lancelot and my level 2 recovery sorceror.

Margo:

Is this move going anywhere?

Artie:

Yes it is. I now tune my level 4 white light necromancer with my now level 6 noble knight kreya.

(As the 2 monsters tune each other we see the sky fill with dark clouds).

Guibo:

Really unusually weather today.

Artie:

I synchro summon! Rise up level 10 Excalibur dragon!

Excalibur dragon ATK:2500 DEF:2000

Guibo:

Holy crap on a crust.

(Back at the surveillance room…).

Kateshi:

What in the world is that? I've never seen a monster like that before.

Donovan:

That's the monster I've been searching for. I sure hope your boys can handle this monster.

Kateshi:

Are you questioning my men? Well then just you wait. They'll crush that dragon with ease.

(Scene cut).

Margo:

What the… where did this kid get a monster like that? Hey you don't think this kid somehow got a hold of one of the boss's experimental deck.

Nico:

Don't be silly Margo.

Artie:

And now I activate Excalibur dragon's effect. Once per turn when it's synchro summoned I can draw the top 4 cards from my deck if any of them are level 5 or higher monsters then I can add their attack power to Excalibur dragon.

Guibo:

Say what?

Margo:

There's no way that could be right.

(Artie draws the top 4 cards of his deck. And reveals a trap card, a spell card, his level 5 noble knight Galen with 2100 attack, and noble sword mast with 2500 attack).

(The power of the 2 monsters gives Excalibur dragon a surge of power as he lets out a mighty roar).

Excalibur dragon ATK:7100 DEF:2000

Guibo:

Su… su…

Margo:

7100 attack points?

Nico:

That's impossible.

King Arthur:

You have these naives on the ropes Artie.

Artie:

And let's take one of them out. I now activate Excalibur dragon's 2nd effect. When it's attack points change I can target 1 monster on your side of the field and lower its attack points equal to the total of Excalibur dragon's attack points.

(The duel assassins gasp).

Artie:

And the monster I chose is guibo's dark soul giant oni!

Guibo:

(Gasps).

Nico:

(Oh no. His monster will have 0 attack points. True his monster won't be destroyed but he'll take a tone of damage and will barely have enough strength to carry on the duel).

Artie:

Alright Excalibur dragon. Attack his dark soul giant oni!

(Excalibur dragon flies up into the sky and takes aim at giant oni and swoops down towards him),

Margo:

He'll be toast after this turn. It's over for him.

Nico:

Not if I have anything to say about it. I play this trap from my hand take the bullet! By sending 1 monster from my hand to the grave I redirect your attack to me!

Guibo:

Nico!

Margo:

Are you insane? You'll lose the duel!

Nico:

Not quite. Cause the monster I sent to my hand was my machina gost cowboy. When he's sent to the grave due to a trap card effect I can cut the damage to 0 by paying half my life points and one my partners gets to draw a card. And I chose guibo to draw a card.

(The trap turns to Nico and blasts him with an energy bullet knocking him to the ground).

Nico:2750

Margo:

Boss you okay?

Guibo:

Say something!

(We see Nico opens his eyes and he jumps up real quick).

Nico:

Never better. Now guibo, I believe you need to draw a card.

Guibo:

Oh right. (Draws his card and gasps).

King Arthur:

He took that damage just to protect his men.

Artie:

Yeah. (These guys are tough and they work off each other. But next turn his monster will be vulnerable again. After that I'll take guibo out the focus on the other 2. With one of them gone the other 2 shouldn't be a problem). I'll end my turn with 1 card facedown. Your move Nico!

(Turn 17).

Nico:

With pleasure.

Margo:

Nico wait! That last play you made. Why did you do it for fatso over there?He wasn't gonna stand a chance after that attack even if his monster survived he wouldn't have beaten that dragon on his next turn. So why?

Nico:

Listen Margo. No matter how much you hate him. He's part of this team. And we don't quit on each other. It's always been like that with the 3 of us. So I would gladly give my life and soul for that guy there.

Guibo:

Boss.

Margo:

Hey. You always knew what to say in a situation Nico. Alright then. If one of us is in a jam I'll do my best to help them take down the ones doing the damage.

Nico:

That's what I'd like to hear. Now… where were we? Oh that's right. Making this kid regret the moment he ever accepted our challenge! (Draws a card). (And it's time to make this kid suffer even more). Your dragon may be tough kid. But it's just another duel monster. I play the spell card lightning vortex!

Artie:

Oh no!

Nico:

That's right kid. With this spell I send 1 card from my hand to the grave and destroy every monster on your side of the field. And since your dragon is the only monster on your field say your last goodbyes!

(A thunder cloud forms above them and 1 lightning bolt zaps Excalibur dragon and we hear it cry out in pain as it's destroyed).

Artie:

No! Excalibur dragon!

(Back at reggie's house we see Donovan watch in a gasp as they see Excalibur dragon destroyed).

Tyson:

It's gone.

Kateshi:

Well mr. Donavan I'd say that's one way to skin a cat. (Chuckles) or in this case… a dragon.

(Back at sunset bridge. We see Artie get down on his knees).

King Arthur:

Young Artie.

Artie:

It's gone. Excalibur dragon is gone.

Nico:

Hey kid! That dragon won't be the only thing gone. For now I end my turn. Your up Margo.

(Turn 18).

Margo:

It will be my pleasure. Look out kid I draw! (Draws a card and growls) this card won't help. But it will be useful for next turn. I set a monster facedown and end my turn.

(Turn 19).

Nico:

Your up guibo. Finish this kid off with the card your drew.

Guibo:

You got it Nico! (This is my chance. I can easily take this kid down. And will be thanks to the card I drew with nico's help). Your history punk! I draw! (Draws a card). I know activate the spell ragnarok storm! With this spell me and my partners send our entire hand to the grave and for every monster we send I can target 1 monster on our side of the field and it gains 1000 attack for every monster sent.

(All 3 of them send their entire hand to the graveyard).

Nico:

I just sent 2 monsters to the grave.

Margo:

Same here.

Guibo:

And I also sent 2 monsters to the grave. With that I now target my dark soul giant oni to receive 6000 attack points!

Dark soul giant oni ATK:6000 DEF:0

Artie:

Oh no!

Guibo:

Dark soul giant oni attack that little punk directly! Iron claw soul splitter!

(Giant oni's grotesque looking hand transforms into a giant metal claw and it stretches towards Artie).

King Arthur:

Artie move away!

(But Artie cannot move as he is paralyzed with fear).

(The claw reaches artie and slashes him hard across the chest sending him flying into the air).

King Arthur:

Artie!

(Scene cut).

King Arthur:

Artie!

(Artie comes crashing on to ground with a large this as he gasps for air).

Artie:350

Margo:

Yeah! Nice one guibo! With that kid only at 350 life points left there's all it will take is just 1 more attack from your…

(Before Margo finishes his sentence we see guibo's monster roar in pain as it is destroyed and the flash knocks guibo to the ground).

Guibo:1500

Margo:

What just happened? And why did fatso's life points take a hit?

Nico:

That's the price for using the card he drew. Ragnarok storm has another effect. At the end of the turn the user of that card has his monster destroyed and he takes damage equal to his monster's attack.

Margo:

Holy crap.

(The 2 hear guibo groan as he sits back up).

Nico:

You okay?

Guibo:

Yeah. Guess I should of been warned about that card huh?

Margo:

(Chuckles) you fat idiot.

Guibo:

Well anyway I'll end my turn there.

(Turn 20).

(We turn back to see Artie as he is lying on the ground in pain from that attack).

Tyson:

Sir this is getting to be too much. We have to stop.

Donovan:

And jeopardize the experiment. Not a chance.

Tyson:

Look sir the kid can barely stand! I'm sorry but I'm…

Donovan:

Not another word Tyson! We continue to monitor the duel as followed.

Kateshi:

(Well someone is a little uptight. Nice work boys. Seems like after that attack the kid won't be getting up anytime soon).

King Arthur:

Artie. Please say something. Don't die on me please! Artie!

Margo:

Would you look at that. The kid's not getting up. Guess you knocked too much out of him guibo.

Guibo:

Whoops. Guess I don't know my own strength.

Margo:

And neither did the kid.

(Both Margo and guibo chuckle).

Nico:

Well no use waiting for him to get up. It's time we finish this little duel and collect the reward from the boss. This duel was fun while it lasted kid, but now… (reaches for his deck)... your through!

?:

Not so fast!

(A shadow walks out onto the duel field with a duel disk in his arm).

Margo:

Oh great. Someone always has to spoil the fun. And who the hell are you?

(The shadow activates his duel disk and reveals himself to be Reggie).

King Arthur:

Artie look it's your friend.

Artie:

(Slowly opens his eyes and looks towards Reggie with a groan in his voice) Reggie?

Reggie:

Alright listen up assassins. This duel is about to get a whole lot more interesting. And do you know why?

Guibo:

No why!

Reggie:

I'll tell you why. (Points to himself). Cause I'm here to finish what my friend couldn't. The name's Reggie caspien and I will be your opponent now!

End of episode.
