Vile: And after another small delay, I bring thee a new Decks-hibition!
Yuma: I saw that the admins nuked your notice about The Untouchable Thieves.
Vile: *sighs* Yeah, and I was locked out of editing for a couple days, but that's water under the bridge, as I have a different method for informing readers.
Notice: If I post a new story on my DA profile, I'll enclose a notice between two bars like this, italicizing it to make sure you see it.
Vile: With that information given, let's get on with the story. Disclaimer's on the first page, everyone. Enjoy!
Decks-hibition
Story 9: Shreddin' It Up!
"What do you think Tetsuo wanted us for?" Yuma asked as he and Kotori rushed through Heartland. He was following the signal from Tetsuo's D-Gazer.
"Beats me. I hope this isn't some gag." Kotori replied, Yuma nodding in response. Eventually, they came to where the signal was leading them: A humungous skate park. Various kids were shredding the place, most on skateboards, but a few were on bikes, rollerblades, or even scooters.
"Up here, you two!" Tetsuo's voice called to them. Yuma and Kotori looked up and saw Tetsuo on top of a ramp. He had on a green skate helmet with matching elbow and knee pads.
"What are you doing up there, Tetsuo?" Yuma asked.
"Ain't it obvious? Just sit back and enjoy the show!" Tetsuo called before looking down the ramp. He placed his skateboard in front of him and placed one foot on the back, holding it steady. Letting out a chuckle, he placed his other foot on the board. "Woooooo-HOO!" He executed an impressive drop-in down the ramp, picking up speed. He sailed along the curved walls with a confident smirk before rushing up the side, his board stalling on the top before he dropped back in. Rushing up another wall, he leapt up the side and hopped a nearby rail, ollieing onto it and grinding.
"Awesome!" Yuma chirped. Tetsuo dismounted the rail and dropped back in, making his way toward a half-pipe. A few others skated up beside him, one of which was a girl, before they split apart and skated up the pipe. Tetsuo did a 360 aerial turn before dropping back in.
"He's great, isn't he?" A voice asked them. Yuma and Kotori looked beside them.
"Sei? What are you doing here?" Kotori asked, surprised to see her friend there.
"I'm watching Tetsuo-kun, why else?" Sei replied. "I never knew he was this good at skateboarding!"
Tetsuo sailed away from the half-pipe and rushed up the side of a loop-de-loop, his smirk not faltering. "Oh man, he's gonna eat it." Yuma mused.
"Don't be so sure, Yuma!" Sei told him. As if Sei was psychic, Tetsuo made the halfway point of the loop-de-loop before sailing down the other side to complete it.
"Woo-hah! Yeah!" Tetsuo called out, doing a kick-flip and swerving before leaping over a small gap in the curved walls, pulling off a 540 in the air. Ollieing to turn himself around and making his way to where his friends were, he rushed up the side of the wall, sailing up and over it, landing near them. Tetsuo did a quick on-ground turn to hit the brakes, hopping off his skateboard and catching it. "Boo-yah!"
"That was wicked, Tetsuo!" Yuma told him. "I thought you only used that thing to get around quicker."
"Hell no! If you got a board and don't try to trick with it, you ain't usin' it right!" Tetsuo said, then noticing Sei. "Oh, Sei! Didn't see you there!"
"It's all right, Tetsuo-kun. You were great as always!" The blue-haired girl replied, making Tetsuo grin.
Yuma got a devious idea and smirked, leaning toward Kotori. "We may have a new couple among us before we know it." He whispered, making both him and Kotori snicker.
"Yo, lard-bucket! Quite bringin' shoobs to the park!" A gruff voice called out. All of a sudden, someone was making a beeline toward them on his own skateboard.
Tetsuo saw him. "Move!" He cried, quickly grabbing Sei and jumping out of the path. Yuma and Kotori moved as well as the incoming skateboard sped right across their original spots. If they hadn't moved, he would've run them over. The skateboarder skidded to a stop, kicking his board into his hand. He was easily at least 18, having messy blood red hair and snarky orange eyes, decked out in a mostly black outfit, topped off with a dark gray skater helmet. "What's your problem, Rad?! You nearly ran us down!" Tetsuo growled.
"You keep bringin' these shoobs where they ain't needed! It's a SKATE park, stupid!" The older boy, apparently named Rad, shot back with a sick grin.
"What the heck is a 'shoob'?" Yuma wondered.
"Shoobs are you losers, those that can't shred it up!" Rad jeered, pointing at Yuma, Kotori, and Sei. "You guys ain't got a place here, so beat it!"
"And who gave you that authority?!" Tetsuo yelled, getting in Rad's face. "Anyone can come here and leave when they feel like! It's a free park, nimrod!"
"Don't start yelling in MY face, chunky!" Rad said. The two boys growled at each other, anger lightning crackling between their eyes.
Several of the skaters had stopped their tricks to watch the fight, one of them even wiping out in the process. Then, Sei walked up and pulled on the back of Tetsuo's shirt collar. "Come on, Tetsuo-kun. This baka isn't worth it." She told him with an annoyed face.
"Who you callin' a baka, you little bitch?" Rad yelled, but he ended up with a fist upside his head, knocking him to the ground.
Tetsuo was the one who had swung it, his face in a moderately bored expression now. "Sei's right. You ain't worth it." He said, making Rad growl. "Let's go, guys. I don't feel like skating anymore today because of this dude." He began leaving, Yuma, Kotori, and Sei following him.
In the crowd, however, someone watched the exchange with a grin. "I have a perfect plan…"
*The Next Day*
Tetsuo rode on his skateboard on his way to the park, deciding to trick it up some more. However, when he got there, he saw a group of irate skaters yelling. "What the hell?" Then, among the crowd, he saw Sei get pushed to the ground.
"Oof!" Sei groaned as she landed on the ground. Four larger boys were blocking her path.
"Get lost, shoob! You ain't welcome here anymore!" One of them said.
"OI!" Tetsuo's voice called out as he rode over angrily, kick-flipping off his board. "What's your problem?! You can't just kick anyone out!"
"Oh no?" A voice called out. The four boys spread out as Rad rode down toward them, hopping off his board. "I beg to differ, Tetsuo. You see, this park belongs to me now, and anyone I don't want in has to hit the road!"
"This park ain't yours! I oughta have someone come down here and kick YOU out!" Tetsuo told him.
Rad chuckled. "Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I own this skate park, legally!" He pulled out a paper and held it in Tetsuo's face. "A friend of mine was able to track down a deed to this part of the land, so I signed the dotted line! As of last night, you're all trespassing on my property!"
Tetsuo grabbed the deed and looked it over. It looked completely real, right down to Rad's signature. "How the hell did you get this thing?" He then noticed one of the four boys having his hand raised.
The boy raised his helmet to show his identity: Akahebi, who had a taunting grin. (A/N: In other words, a troll face.) "You mad, bro? Shirotora helped me look up this kind of legal stuff! Something I couldn't expect you to do with that tiny brain!" The five skaters started laughing.
"Screw your stupid deed!" "I bet it's a fake!" "You're sick!" "You don't have any power!" Various shouts from the irate crowd.
"Oh, shove your complaints up each other's asses!" Rad jeered, swiping the deed back from Tetsuo. "You can't do jacksquat to me! Now get lost before I call the cops on you for trespassing!"
"Ya know somethin', Rad?" Sei said. "I bet you just don't want to be upstaged by some random person who'd make you look like a loser, so you're banning everyone to make sure it doesn't happen!" Various skaters started laughing.
'Ouch. Who knew Sei had a sharp tongue?' Tetsuo thought.
Rad, however, gained a big tic mark. "Why you!" He went to throw a punch.
However, Tetsuo grabbed his fist. "You'd hit a girl? Wow, I expected that kind of thing from Akahebi."
"I heard that!" Akahebi yelled. "Rad, crush this guy!"
"Shut up, Snake Breath!" Tetsuo shot back, pushing Rad's hand back. "Look, Rad. Think about how many people you're pissing off here. Do you REALLY want an angry mob to charge at you?"
Rad actually thought about it, looking at the waves of kids he was keeping out. "*whistles* I didn't notice there was that many."
"So, let's not be such an asshole about this. Stop this keep-out thing." Tetsuo said.
Rad then smirked. "Not so fast. I say we place some stakes on this!" He held up the deed. "We'll Duel. If you win, you can have the deed and ownership of the park."
"And if you win, Rad?" Another of his goons asked.
"Then all these people have to get lost and stay lost, just as I wanted them to, no griping!" Rad declared before looking at Tetsuo. "I think those stakes are fair. You up for it, fat boy?"
Tetsuo didn't smile. "You're on, Rad."
"You can beat this creep, Tetsuo-kun." Sei told him, Tetsuo nodding.
"Let's get this show on the road!" Rad declared.
"Duel Disk, set! D-Gazer, set!" Both players readied their gear. Rad had a hunter green D-Pad, and his D-Gazer had a red lens.
"AR VISION, LINK ESTABLISHED." Both players' D-Gazers flashed, as well as those of the spectators. "ESTABLISHING LINK BETWEEN A AND B." The area morphed into the augmented reality.
"DUEL!"
Tetsuo LP:4000
Rad LP:4000
"The first move is mine! Ore no turn! Draw!" Rad drew his card. "Torch Pastragro, Shoukan!" The sound of wheels was heard, and his monster emerged as a humanoid with fists and head cloaked in flames, though the head appeared undamaged. It was decked out in black and red clothing and was riding a scooter with flaming wheels.
Torch Pastragro: Lv.4 FIRE Warrior ATK:1600/DEF:1400
"I place one card facedown! Turn end!" Rad's facedown appeared.
"Ore no turn! Draw!" Tetsuo drew his card. "Continuous Magic, Clockwork Conveyor, hatsudo!" An odd machine with a conveyor belt coming up from under the ground emerged, having a readout that said "0". "When Clockwork Conveyor is activated, it gets 3 Clockwork Counters!" Three keys inserted itself in the machine and turned, changing the readout to "3".
Clockwork Conveyor: 3 Clockwork Counters
"Clockwork Tank, Shoukan!" His monster emerged as a blue-and-red tank that almost seemed like a toy, complete with a key in the back of its hatch. "And for each Clockwork Counter on the field, it gains 200 Attack Points!" Tank's key turned three times, stopping with a click.
Clockwork Tank: Lv.4 FIRE Machine ATK:1800 (originally 1200)/DEF:2000
"Clockwork Tank, attack Torch Pastragro!" The key spun rapidly before stopping with a click, and a soldier popped out of the hatch and pointed at the skateboarder. "Open fire!" A blue missile was fired from the cannon.
"Trap Card, Illusion 360, hatsudo! This card lets me deflect your attack like it was nothing!" Torch saw the attack coming and made a fear face before flipping into the air. A trace image formed around it as it twirled around once before splitting in two, the missile going right between them. "Now Illusion 360 is Summoned, with the same stats as Torch Pastragro!" The real Torch became solid again, while the still-skating illusion remained transparent.
Illusion 360: Lv.4 FIRE Warrior ATK:1600/DEF:1400 (still treated as a Trap)
"That's a weird card. I place one card facedown! Turn end!" Tetsuo's facedown emerged.
"Ore no turn! Draw!" Rad drew his card. "I gotta say, Tetsuo. So far, I ain't impressed with your cards. Hopefully you can step it up! I release Illusion 360! Adobansu Shoukan!" Illusion 360 skated in front of Rad before converting into a yellow form of energy. "Shanryu Whitefang!" From up above, another odd humanoid descended, but it appeared dragonic in construction, primarily colored white. It had two triangular wings, but connected to them was an odd bar held by its hands, making it seem similar to a hang glider or parasail kite.
Shanryu Whitefang: Lv.5 LIGHT Dragon ATK:2100/DEF:800
"Torch Pastragro no kouka hatsudo! Since I've Advance Summoned already, I can use him to perform another Advance Summon!" The burning shedder dissipated into yellow particles. "Bor Darkdeck, Adobansu Shoukan!" This monster appears as a dark-blue-skinned humanoid with some fiendish tones to it, with striking green eyes. It was riding what looked like some kind of black jet ski, but the "water" was pure darkness.
Bor Darkdeck: Lv.5 DARK Fiend ATK:1800/DEF:1800
"Ore wa, Reberu Go no Shanryu Whitefang to, Bor Darkdeck de Obarei!" As his two monsters sailed in front of him, they turned yellow and purple before sailing into the air in a spiral. A red spiral portal opened up, and both his monsters sailed inside. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekshiizu Shoukan! Arawareyo, Kablam Margenocide!" An explosion came from the portal, followed by an insane laughter. From the smoke, another humanoid figure emerged. This one had an insane, manic grin on its face, smoke marring its face and part of its hair singed. It was wearing what looked like a strait jacket, but it had punched its arms out the sides. It wore black pants and was skating on spiked roller blades. It carried a grinning bomb in each hand as it laughed maniacally, skating around the field with two red Overlay Units circling it.
Kablam Margenocide: Rank 5 FIRE Pyro/Xyz ATK:2500/DEF:2300 2 Overlay Units
"Whoa… creepy." Sei mused.
"Magic Card, 720 Enhancer, hatsudo!" Kablam leapt into the air and did two perfect spins before landing and continuing its stride, a red aura surrounding it. "This increases Kablam's Attack Points by 500, but if I banish my Illusion 360, that boost gets doubled!"
Kablam Margenocide ATK:3500
"Kablam Margenocide no kouka hatsudo! By using both of his Overlay Units, his Attack Points are doubled!" The two red orbs were absorbed by Margenocide's bombs, which grew to double their sides with even more disturbing grins.
Kablam Margenocide ATK:7000 0 Overlay Units
"7000 points?!" Sei cried.
"You should've left when I warned ya, Tetsuo! Kablam Margenocide bites the dust if he attacks while under his effect, but he's got 5200 points of damage with your name on 'em! Kablam Margenocide, take out that Tank!" With an insane laugh, the roller blader made a beeline toward Clockwork Tank, his bombs flashing red. "Badabing… BadaBOOM!" Kablam leapt into the air and sailed toward the tank, holding his bombs in front of him. The roller blader made contact, and the bombs created a HUGE combined explosion.
"Tetsuo-kun!" Sei cried through the explosion.
Rad and his group began laughing. "Man, what a dope! Those toys didn't stand a chance!"
"Wanna say that to my face, Akahebi?" Tetsuo called through the smoke. The smoke cleared to show both Tetsuo and his Tank intact.
"How in the?" Rad wondered.
"I had a Trap Card ready: Iron Defense! This cuts any Battle Damage I take from battles involving Machine-Type monsters in half! Oh, and Clockwork Tank can't be destroyed by battle with monsters that have over 2000 Attack Points!"
Tetsuo LP:1400
"Talk about crafty. Now I'm officially impressed!" Rad said. "I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
Sei and a few of the spectators sighed in relief. "Ore no turn! Draw!" Tetsuo drew his card. "During my Standby Phase, Clockwork Conveyor gains another Clockwork Counter, so Clockwork Tank gains 200 more Attack Points!" Another key clacked onto Conveyor and turned, making the readout "4". As a result, Tank's key turned once.
Clockwork Conveyor: 4 Clockwork Counters
Clockwork Tank ATK:2000
"Continuous Magic, Automated Clockwork Machine, hatsudo!" An odd machine with a large dial on it emerged its readout saying "0". "And it gains two Clockwork Counters when it's Summoned, giving my Tank 400 Attack Points!" Two keys inserted themselves into the machine, turning until clicking, making the readout "2". Tank's key turned twice at well.
Automated Clockwork Machine: 2 Clockwork Counters
Clockwork Tank ATK:2400
"All right, Tank, let's try this again! Attack Rad directly!" The tank pointed itself toward Rad, and the little soldier popped up and pointed. The blue missile was fired, and this time it hit its mark, exploding violently.
"Rrrgh, rrrrrrgh!" Rad growled, struggling to stay on his feet.
Rad LP:1600
The crowd cheered for Tetsuo. "Way to go!" "Keep it up, dude!" "Show him who's boss!" "We'll be skating again in no time!"
Tetsuo smirked. "Hear that, Rad? They're on my side with this, so why don't we just end this here?"
"Heh heh… hell no." Rad replied. "I can clearly see who you've got backing you up, but to be honest, I'm having way too much fun here! This Duel ain't gonna be over until one of us hits zero! Since I took over 1200 points of Battle Damage, Bro Breezequest, Tokushu Shoukan!" His monster sailed through the air on a hoverbike that looked similar to a normal bike. It had a long blond ponytail and a purple cape, both of which flowed in the wind.
Bro Breezequest: Lv.7 WIND Warrior ATK:2400/DEF:1200
"New monster. At least it can't destroy Clockwork Tank or deal damage." Tetsuo mused. "I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
"Ore no turn! Draw!" Rad drew his card. "You should've given yourself a bit more defense, Tetsuo! Trap Card, Shredder 1260, hatsudo! This Trap Special Summons itself as a monster!" The Trap leapt into the air and did three and a half turns before changing into a robotic humanoid on some kind of rusted dirt bike, looking rather basic and crude for a humanoid machine.
Shredder 1260: Lv.7 EARTH Machine ATK:1250/DEF:1250 (still treated as a Trap)
"All right, let's move! Ore we Reberu Nana no Bro Breezequest to, Shredder 1260 de Obarei!" The two monsters sailed past Rad and turned fully green and orange before sailing into the air in a spiral. Another spiral portal opened up, and his two monsters sailed inside. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A loud caw was heard. "Arawareyo… Tonado Condor!" From above, a monster sailed down on the one missing type of extreme sport equipment: A skateboard, or rather, a hoverboard. The rider appeared to be half-man, half-bird, having an eagle's head with a beak (despite its name), a brown-feathered bare chest, arms with fists and wings, and green bottoms. It did four aerial twists on its board before sailing around the field, two green Overlay Units circling it.
Tonado Condor: Rank 7 WIND Winged Beast/Xyz ATK:2500/DEF:2400 2 Overlay Units
"Whoa… Nice monster." Tetsuo admitted.
"Why, thank you. Tonado Condor no kouka hatsudo! Once per turn, by using an Overlay Unit, if any of your monsters have more Attack or Defense Points than their originals, then guess what? Condor stacks their bonuses and gains them for himself!" Condor chomped one of its Units with its beak before spreading its wings, firing two feather missiles at Tank, which lodged into its shell. Energy streams shot from the missiles into Condor's wings, making it caw.
Tonado Condor ATK:3700 1 Overlay Unit
"All right, Tonado Condor! Swoop in for some damage!" With a caw, Tonado Condor ollied into the air and began spinning around rapidly with its wings spread out. The force of the spin drew in winds, which swirled around the board. "Infinity Tornado!" The wind fired off as a powerful swirling wind beam, which slammed against the tank's hull, bouncing off and barreling toward Tetsuo, impacting the ground.
"Uwaaaaaaahhhh!" Tetsuo yelled as he tried to keep his footing, but eventually fell onto his back.
Tetsuo LP:300
"OoooooooYAH! Shredding and Dueling are the thrills I live for!" Rad yelled out. "Come on, dude! Get up and finish the Duel! You ain't gonna leave me hangin', are ya?!"
Tetsuo slowly picked himself up. Those words stirred his blood, making him somewhat forget why he was Dueling in the first place. A smirk made its way onto his face. "You want thrills, Rad? I'll give you thrills!"
"That's the attitude I'm lookin' for!" Rad yelled. "Tonado Condor keeps its boosts until your End Phase, so you've got a lot to try for! Turn end!"
"Ore no turn… Draw!" Tetsuo drew his card. He grinned. "During my Standby Phase, my two Continuous Magics gain another Clockwork Counter!" Two keys inserted themselves into the machines, turning until click. Conveyor's readout became "5" while Automated Machine's became "3".
Clockwork Conveyor: 5 Clockwork Counters
Automated Clockwork Machine: 3 Clockwork Counters
"With at least five Clockwork Counters on the field, Clockwork Kitty, Tokushu Shoukan!" His new monster was a small toy cat-like monster, being colored white with black stripes and having a key in the end of the tail.
Clockwork Kitty: Lv.4 EARTH Machine ATK:800/DEF:800
"Clockwork Crane, Shoukan!" His monster appeared as a toy crane-like monster, the crane looking like a key with a real key being inserted in the axle.
Clockwork Crane: Lv.4 EARTH Machine ATK:1800/DEF:1400
"Clockwork Crane no kouka hatsudo! One card I control gains 2 Clockwork Counters!" Two keys inserted into Automated Machine and turned, increasing the readout to "5".
Automated Clockwork Machine: 5 Clockwork Counters
"Ore wa, Reberu Yon no Clockwork Tank, Clockwork Kitty, Clockwork Crane, Obarei!" His three monsters turned fully red (Tank) and orange (Kitty and Crane) before shooting into the air in a spiral. A red spiral portal opened up, and all three monsters sailed inside. "San tai no kikaizoku (Machine-Type) monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan! Arawareyo… Clockwork Tower Dragon!" A very tall figure began to rise from the ground. It had a cylindrical body with numerous keyholes, small arms, small legs, and a readout that said "00". Atop the figure, a large dragon head sat motionless, almost as if it was a statue. The very tall monster stood motionless, three red Overlay Units circling it.
Clockwork Tower Dragon: Rank 4 FIRE Machine/Xyz ATK:?/DEF:? 3 Overlay Units
"Undetermined points? First monster I've seen like that." Rad mused. "How does this thing gain points?"
"Easy. Tower Dragon's Attack and Defense Points are equal to the number of Clockwork Counters it has." Tetsuo explained. "So, at the moment, it has zilch."
Tower Dragon ATK:0/DEF:0
Several of Rad's goons started laughing. Rad, however, didn't. "Clockwork Tower Dragon no kouka hatsudo! When it's Xyz Summoned, I can add a card involving Clockwork Counters from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand!" A card slid out from his Deck, which he grabbed. "Continuous Magic, Clockwork Catapult, hatsudo!" A large machine with a huge launcher emerged, a readout saying "0" on it. As per its effect, two keys inserted itself into the machine and turned until click, changing the readout to "2".
Clockwork Catapult: 2 Clockwork Counters
"Clockwork Tower Dragon no kouka hatsudo! By using an Overlay Unit, it gains 2 Clockwork Counters!" The red orb was absorbed into the dragon's forehead, and two keys clacked into two of the keyholes on the monster's body, turning until click and changing the readout to "02".
Clockwork Tower Dragon ATK:800/DEF:800 2 Overlay Units 2 Clockwork Counters
"Only 800? Still not enough for my big guy!" Rad mused.
Tetsuo's smirk didn't falter. "Trap Card, Clockwork Gravity, hatsudo! This lets me destroy all but one card I control with Clockwork Counters, and every single Clockwork Counter those cards had are given to the remaining card!" A gravitational field pressed down on Tetsuo's three machines, crushing them and dislodging their keys. The keys then floated over to Tower Dragon and lodged themselves in, turning until click. With all these keys, the dragon's readout sped up to "14".
Clockwork Tower Dragon ATK:5600/DEF:5600 14 Clockwork Counters
"Holy crap! How did he do that?!" Akahebi shrieked.
"It's just a little trick of mine! Now, Tower Dragon, attack Tonado Condor!" The dragon's eyes flashed blue, and a neck extended from under it. The dragon's head then glared straight at Tonado Condor and roared, expelling a stream of orange flames. Tonado Condor saw the attack, but could only shriek in fear as the flames cooked it, causing it and its board to explode.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!" Rad yelled as he was thrown back, landing on the ground.
Tetsuo LP:300
Rad LP:0 – LOSER
Tetsuo's face appeared with the word "WIN" as the buzzer sounded, and the Augmented Reality began to vanish. The crowd of skaters cheered loudly, high-fiving and hugging each other. Tetsuo had his hand raised in victory. Sei rushed over and gave him a victory hug. "Awesome job, Tetsuo! I knew you'd clobber him!" Tetsuo felt slightly awkward, having a girl aside from his sister or mother hug him for the first time, but smirked nonetheless.
Rad picked himself up off the ground and pulled off his D-Gazer. His flunkies weren't happy. "He must've cheated!" Akahebi cried.
"Let's get him!" Another one said.
"Don't even try it, guys!" Rad said, confusing them. "This guy beat me fair and square. And to be honest, I had a lot of fun!" He walked over to Tetsuo, Sei having stopped her hug. "A deal's a deal, Tetsuo." He pulled out the deed and handed it to the other boy. "The park's all yours now!"
Tetsuo smiled. "Y'know, Rad, for a dude who looks like a punk… you're an OK guy." He held out a hand, which Rad shook. Tetsuo then turned to the crowd. "All right, everyone! Since I own this place, I decree… Anyone and everyone is welcome!" The crowd cheered loudly, and Rad's flunkies moved out of the way as the skaters and spectators flooded back into their hangout. Tetsuo, Sei, and Rad observed as the skate park became the bustling place it once was. "See, Rad? This place was never this cool with everyone kicked out."
"Yeah, yeah, I get it." Rad said. "I was a Grade-A jackass. Thanks for knocking some sense into me."
Sei noticed the deed to the park and took it, looking it over. Her eyes widened. "This thing's a fake!"
"Nani?" Tetsuo and Rad yelled.
"Look! There's no watermark on the deed!" The paper's back was completely barren. "All legal documents have a special watermark on them, but this one doesn't!"
"That means I've been duped!" Rad realized. He looked around the park and spotted Akahebi sneaking off. "THAT LITTLE SLIME BALL!"
Akahebi yelped when he heard Rad's yell. "BUSTED!" He shrieked, running away.
"GET BACK HERE!" Rad yelled, barreling after Akahebi on his skateboard. Tetsuo and Sei looked at each other and started laughing loudly. Akahebi was gonna feel that in the morning.
