Yu-gi-oh! 5D's
Chapter 4: The Black Rose vs. The Death God
Author's Note: The duel in this chapter is based off a duel I did in Duel Links, where I played as Kalin and fought against an AI-controlled Akiza. Kalin was an unlockable character via the event "Duelist Roads: Clash at Crash Town". He is currently not available to free duel at the Legendary Gate. The duel will use the "Speed Duel" format Duel Links uses. The changes include: 1) Players begin the duel with 4 cards in their hand. 2) Players begin with 4000 LP(there are some skills that boost the LP count, but the duel in this chapter doesn't do that). 3) Both player's side of the field only has 3 monster card zones and 3 spell/trap card zones, as opposed to the OCG's 5. 4) The Extra Zone has a 6 card limit as opposed to the 15 card limit in the OCG.
Everyone stood in shock as Infernity Beast knocked out the bullies. No one expected that a former Dark Signer would be able to keep their powers upon getting revived by the Crimson Dragon.
"Holy moly! Kalin just took out those guys in one attack!" yelled Trudge.
"Akiza, whaddya mean he's a psychic?!" demanded Crow.
"You have to recall who a Psychic Duelist is", said Akiza. "They are a special type of individual who has the ability to materialize real monsters and spells with their cards and inflict real damage and pain."
"This is confusing! The only Psychic Duelists we know are you and that creepy Sayer guy. And know you're saying Kalin is one too?"
Akiza nodded. "I'm sure of it."
Yusei added to Akiza's reply. "Actually, when I went to Crash Town and Kalin and I dueled against Lawton, Lawton resorted to cheap tactics and nearly killed Kalin. However, I noticed a surge of energy radiating from him as he regained his footing. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but I now know it's a fact that Kalin's a Psychic Duelist."
"So he somehow retained all his powers he had from being a Dark Signer?" asked Luna.
"I'm not sure, but it's highly likely," said Yusei.
Kalin glared at the 5 thugs laying in a heap on the ground. They were shaking in fear as they saw his emotionless face.
"You aren't worth satisfying me," Kalin said coldly to them.
"P-Please spare us!" cried the thugs. "We'll listen to everything you say!"
"I am the Death God, and the Death God rains his punishment on you," said Kalin.
The thugs were so frightened by his behavior that they willingly turned themselves in to Sector Security.
"Geez, Kalin, you seriously gave us the chills with those words," said Crow. "You okay there buddy?"
Kalin dropped his "Death God" persona and reverted back to normal. "Yes, I'm alright, Crow. Sorry about that."
"When did you become one of these Psychic Duelists anyway?" asked Jack.
"Perhaps I can explain it better in a private place," said Kalin.
Officer Trudge brought them inside his office within the Sector Security Headquarters. Along the way, however, they ran into Carly Carmine. She looked as busy as ever and her glasses nearly fell off when she saw the team.
"OMG! Team 5D's are all here! Jack! Please tell me what's going on!"
"Carly! We have important matters to discuss and this doesn't concern you!" said Jack.
"You can't hide anything from me, Jackie!" shouted Carly. "After everything that's happened in Neo Domino City, I just have to get the latest scoop!"
"Fine, fine, alright…" sighed Jack in defeat.
"Alright, team, into my office," said Trudge."
"Okay Kalin," said Trudge. "I hope my office is private enough for you."
"Thank you, Officer Trudge," said Kalin. "As you all know by now that I am now a Psychic Duelist."
"You're a WHAT?!" yelled Carly. "A Psychic Duelist?! But the Arcadia Movement is no more! And their headquarters got demolished!"
Kalin nodded. "The Arcadia Movement might be no more, but there is a possibility that there more Psychic Duelists out there, just like me."
"I wonder if there's any other societies similar to that of the Arcadia Movement?" asked Yusei with concern.
Akiza shuddered at the thought of it. "I hope not. After all the lies Sayer told me, I can't imagine anyone else like him."
"If there is another movement, we'll just have to show them who's boss!" yelled Jack. "There's no one who can take us down!"
"Provided we actually know another movement exists," said Crow.
"Kalin, how did you learn you were a Psychic Duelist?" asked Luna.
Kalin sighed. "I believe my powers all came while I was a Dark Signer. I'm not sure why Carly or the other former Dark Signers never became Psychics or why they lost their memories prior to the incident. But I believe it had something to do with the fact that I willingly became a Dark Signer, and that I kept all the powers that I had."
Carly sweated. "Did you just say Dark Signers? And I was one of them?"
Kalin nodded.
"But I don't remember anything about that day! When I woke up, there was a big buzz on the media that the Arcadia Building was destroyed."
"Carly, I envy you sometimes. Sometimes I wish I don't remember being a Dark Signer. I regret everything I did," said Kalin.
"But you're back, and you have us with you now," said Yusei.
"Yeah! That's right! We're The Enforcers!" shouted Crow.
"And you're our leader!" said Jack.
Kalin smiled at them. "Thank you, everyone." He then turned his attention to Akiza.
"Akiza, may I request something from you?"
Akiza was confused. "What is it Kalin?"
"I want to duel you in a Psychic Duel," replied Kalin.
"A Psychic Duel? Are you sure you can take it?" asked Akiza.
"I'm sure I can. We've both been through a lot of punishment. So what do you say?"
Akiza nodded. "Alright, I accept your challenge."
"Whoa, this is getting intense!" said Leo.
Trudge led Akiza and Kalin to the training arena. The two psychics got ready their duel disks while the others stood out behind the bulletproof glass.
"Alright, you two, whenever, you're ready!" said Trudge.
Akiza and Kalin nodded and yelled "Duel!"
Turn 1
Akiza LP: 4000 Kalin LP: 4000
Akiza and Kalin both draw 4 cards from their decks.
Akiza: "It's my turn! I draw! I set a monster. I end my turn."
Turn 2
Akiza LP: 4000 Kalin LP: 4000
Kalin: "I draw! I set a monster. I then activate the spell 'Infernity Launcher' and set one card. I end my turn. Now what will you do?"
Turn 3
Akiza LP: 4000 Kalin LP: 4000
Akiza: "My turn! I draw! I Summon Blue Rose Dragon(ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200) in ATK position! I Flip Summon Rose Lover(ATK: 800 DEF: 800) and attack your face down card with Rose Lover!"
Kalin: "I flip over my face down monster, Infernity Necromancer(ATK: 0 DEF: 2000)! Since Necromancer's defense is 2000, you take 1200 damage."
Akiza: "Oof!" she cried as she took the self-inflicted battle damage.
Trudge called out from the outside of the training room via a mike. "Are you ok, Akiza? You know you guys can call off the duel if the pain is too much."
Akiza: "No, I'm alright, Officer Trudge. This is just a training duel." Then she turned her attention back to the duel. "I end my turn."
Carly was frantically scribbling down notes as this was all happening. Jack shook his head in annoyance.
Turn 4
Akiza LP: 2800 Kalin LP: 4000
Kalin: "It's my turn! I draw! I Summon Infernity Beast(ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200) in Attack Position! I then activate Infernity Launcher and send Infernity Patriarch to the Graveyard! Now I attack Rose Lover with Infernity Beast!"
Akiza grunted as she took 800 LP of damage.
Kalin: "I end my turn."
Turn 5
Akiza LP: 2000 Kalin LP: 4000
Akiza: "I-I must do better. I draw! I Summon Twilight Rose Knight(ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000) and activate her effect to Special Summon Glow-Up Bulb(ATK 100 DEF 100)! I now tune Level 3 Twilight Rose Knight and Level 4 Blue Rose Dragon!"
"Black rose bloom! I Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon(ATK 2400 DEF 1800)!"
Kalin thought: Here comes her Signer Dragon!
Akiza:"Rose Lover's effect activates from the Graveyard! I banish Rose Lover from play to Special Summon Queen of Autumn Leaves! I tune Glow-Up Bulb and Queen to Synchro Summon Splendid Rose!"
Leo: "Wow! Akiza just Synchro Summoned two monsters in one turn!"
Akiza: "I activate Black Rose Dragon's effect! By banishing one Plant-type monster from my Graveyard, I can change one of your Defense Position monsters to Attack Position and reduce its attack to 0! I banish Glow-Up Bulb from the game to change your Necromancer to Attack Position! I now attack with Splendid Rose!"
Kalin: "That was a bad call! I activate my spell, Enemy Controller! I switch Splendid Rose to Defense Position!"
Akiza: "Don't forget I still have another monster! I attack Infernity Necromancer with Black Rose Dragon!"
Kalin: "Ughh!" He groaned as Infernity Necromancer was destroyed and he lost 2400 LP.
Yusei: "Hang in there, Kalin!"
Turn 6
Akiza LP: 2000 Kalin LP: 1600
Kalin:"You think you're satisfied? I draw! Infernity Launcher's effect activates and I send Infernity Beetle to the Graveyard. Then I summon Infernity Mirage and activate its effect to Special Summon Beetle and Necromancer from my Graveyard! I tune Infernity Beetle, Infernity Necromancer, and Infernity Beast!"
"The sinister spirits that inhabit this world combine! I call forth Infernity Doom Dragon(ATK: 3000 DEF 2400)!"
Yusei: "Infernity Doom Dragon…"
Crow: "I've never seen that monster before!"
Jack: "That must be Kalin's new ace card!"
Kalin: "I now send Infernity Launcher to the Graveyard and activate it's other effect. It allows me to target 2 Infernity monsters in my Graveyard! I Special Summon Infernity Beetle and Patriarch and tune them together to Synchro Summon Archfiend's Call!"
Yusei: "Incredible. Both Akiza managed to Synchro Summon two monsters in one turn!"
Trudge: "This is an amazing duel!"
Kalin: "Infernity Doom Dragon's effect activates! Since I have no cards in my hand, it destroys Black Rose Dragon and you take damage equal to half its attack! Go! Infernal Flame Breath!"
Akiza: "Agh! No, my dragon…"
2000-1200=800
Kalin: "Archfiend's Call! Destroy Splendid Rose!
Luna: "Oh, no! He took out all of Akiza's best monsters!"
Kalin: "I end my turn."
Turn 7
Akiza LP: 800 Kalin LP: 1600
Akiza:"This feels like a bad call…I-I set a card and end my turn."
Turn 8
Akiza LP: 800 Kalin LP: 1600
Kalin: "I draw! I set one card. I then attack your face-down monster with Archfiend's Call!"
Akiza: "Not so fast! The monster that was destroyed was Blue Rose Dragon! When it's destroyed, I can Special Summon Black Rose Dragon from my Graveyard! I summon Black Rose Dragon in Defense Position."
Kalin simply smiled and said: "Infernity Doom Dragon, destroy Black Rose Dragon! I end my turn."
Turn 9
Akiza LP: 800 Kalin LP: 1600
Akiza: "Oh no…I draw! I set a monster and end my turn…"
Turn 10
Akiza LP: 800 Kalin LP: 1600
Kalin: "I draw! I set a monster and attack your face down card with Archfiend's Call! I then attack you directly with Infernity Doom Dragon! Infernal Flame Blast!"
Akiza: "Ahhhh! I-I must try harder…"
Kalin: "That was a satisfying duel."
Akiza: 0 LP, Kalin: 1600 LP
Kalin wins.
Akiza: "Wow, Kalin. That was an incredible duel. I didn't expect you to be so talented."
"You weren't so bad yourself, Akiza," replied Kalin.
"Are you two alright?" asked Yusei.
"We're fine, Yusei," smiled Akiza. "Neither of us used that much telepathic power."
"Man, I'm hot and thirsty from just watching that duel!" exclaimed Crow.
"How about I treat you all for some ice cream?" asked Trudge.
"Thank you!" shouted the whole team.
"Oh, and Carly," said Trudge.
"Uh, yes, Officer Trudge?" asked Carly.
"This was a private case! I won't permit you to write an article about what you saw today!" Trudge yelled firmly.
"Huh?! Noooo!" cried Carly.
