"Come on, how much longer until this damn class ends?!" Chelsea thought impatiently as she glanced towards the computer clock on her laptop, even though she was in the middle of an IT class she had already finished the work set out for her and she was currently killing time by researching cards for her deck, she was the only Osiris Red Student in the class but the other students where friendly enough not to belittle her about it.
"Okay, that's all for today." Tracy announced and the students sighed in relief before either shutting down their PCs or, like Chelsea, unplugging their laptops to take back to their dorm rooms. "I know a few of you complained about me scheduling my class in the middle of one of the Tag Tournament matches but I wasn't told that the matches would be happening so soon."
"Yeah, sure you weren't." Chelsea thought with a roll of her eyes as she put her laptop in her laptop case. "Ah well, at least I can watch the match on YouTube later, just gotta leave this classroom and head over to the Osiris Red Girl's dorm….."
"Oh and Chelsea, can I speak to you after Class?" Tracy asked and Chelsea groaned knowing that it usually meant more homework for her.
"Curse me for being really good with computers!" Chelsea thought as she waited for the other students to leave, once they had left she turned to Tracy. "Okay teach we both know you love giving me homework to do so get it over with already."
"Am I really that predictable?" Tracy sighed before handing her a USB Drive. "This should keep you busy until tomorrow's match." Tracy added as Chelsea took it and pocketed it.
"Which I'll be ill-prepared for if this is anything like your usual homework assignments." Chelsea sighed in annoyance. "Can I go now? I promised Chloe that I'd meet her back at our dorm room."
"Sure." Tracy told her and Chelsea wasted no time in standing up, picking up her laptop case, and leaving the IT room, by the time she left all of the students had left the main building besides a couple who were lucky enough to have class straight after the matches finished.
"No sign of Chloe, and since her class doesn't start for another hour or so she's probably well on her way to the Osiris Red Girl's Dorm by now." Chelsea thought as she glanced around; however she did notice one person she recognized. "Hey Beth!" Chelsea called out to her girlfriend and Beth looked up.
"Hey Chelsea, what's up?" Beth asked as she caught up to her, they shared a quick kiss before Chelsea shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm just glad to be out of Tracy's class." Chelsea commented as she motioned to her laptop case. "I may be good at computers but there's only so much of her teaching style I can take." Chelsea added with a grin as they hugged each other and continued to kiss.
"Get a room, you rejects!" Jessica Stevens told them as she walked past the couple earning her one of Chelsea's signature death glares as she broke off the hug she was sharing with Beth.
"That's pretty funny coming from the only student in Obelisk Blue to fuck every male member of her dorm." Chelsea retaliated and Jessica stopped in her tracks.
"What did you just say?!" Jessica demanded as she span on her heels and turned to face the younger student, Chelsea smirked as she saw how angry she was.
"What's the matter? Don't like the truth you little whore?" Chelsea asked and Jessica retaliated by punching her in the face. "Oh, that's the way you want to settle things?" Chelsea said as she got back to her feet and got ready to retaliate, before she could throw a punch however it was caught by a member of security whilst another kept Jessica at bay.
"That's enough you two." Hamden chastised the two girls as he approached them. "Security, make sure Jessica gets back to her dorm room without any further incident, same goes for Chelsea."
"What? She started it, not me!" Chelsea snapped at Hamden who simply folded his arms.
"Would you rather deal with me or Martin?" Hamden said simply and Chelsea simply stormed off making sure to flip off Jessica when she was sure Hamden wasn't looking.
"Great, first Tracy makes me miss the match and gives me homework and now the pro Obelisk Blue bias rears its ugly head again!" Chelsea thought as she made her way to the Osiris Red Girl's dorm not really caring about the looks she was getting due to the fist shaped bruise on her cheek. "Its times like these that make the idea of enrolling in a Military Academy seem preferable to staying here!"
"Chelsea, wait up!" A familiar voice rang out and Chelsea looked up and saw Brandon and Beth approaching her.
"You saw what happened huh?" Chelsea asked Brandon who nodded. "I swear the Obelisk Blue bias here just gets on my nerves sometimes." Chelsea grunted in annoyance and Brandon shook his head.
"Chelsea, Jessica may have started it but what you said to her didn't exactly help matters." Brandon pointed out and Chelsea span around when she heard that.
"Well, excuse me for having an intimate moment with my girlfriend!" Chelsea grunted as her eyes narrowed. "Besides that, are you seriously defending that bitch?!" Chelsea demanded but Brandon shook his head.
"Look I'm just as sick of Jessica's attitude towards Osiris Red and Ra Yellow as you are but I'm just stating the facts." Brandon answered and Chelsea frowned. "Besides bullies like Jessica love getting reactions out of their targets…"
"Yeah well, if those idiots in security hadn't intervened we would've seen just how much she loves getting the shit beat out of her!" Chelsea grunted before storming off towards her dorm, once she was at the door to the dorm room that she and Chloe shared Chelsea knocked on the door. "Chloe, are you in there? And most importantly are you decent?"
"Yeah, I'm in here, not so sure about decent though." Chloe replied jokingly and Chelsea rolled her eyes before opening the door, she saw Chloe looking over her deck on the top bunk. "How'd IT go?"
"Not much, just the usual boring stuff." Chelsea shrugged her shoulders as she started to unpack her laptop and set it up in its usual spot. "Tracy gave me some homework but it shouldn't be too hard."
"Don't look at me; I'm not the tech savvy roommate." Chloe said with a grin which Chelsea returned, Chloe's grin disappeared however when she saw the bruise on Chelsea's cheek. "Get into a fistfight?"
"Yeah, I'll give you two guesses as to which red-headed whore of an Obelisk Blue student it was, second one doesn't count." Chelsea responded and Chloe frowned when she realized who Chelsea was referring too. "I was having an intimate moment with Beth in the main building, nothing that would get us in trouble for having sex in the hallways before you ask, and that bitch told us to get a room in her usual manner."
"Knowing you I'm guessing you didn't take that lying down?" Chloe asked as she hopped off the top bunk and Chelsea nodded. "At least tell me you managed to get a few good shots in?"
"I wish." Chelsea said with a scoff as she retrieved the USB drive that Tracy gave her. "Security broke up the fight after she punched me, she can't even throw a decent punch for fuck's sake!"
"Somehow, I'm not surprised." Chloe commented as she folded her arms. "I know you can throw one, I've seen you send much bigger guys to the ground with a punch…..or a kick to the nuts."
"Ah that's nothing, one of my old schools had a Karate club and I figured it could help me with my anger." Chelsea told her as she waited for her laptop to boot up. "Managed to make up to red belt before my temper got me kicked out of that school but it worked."
"You still practice?" Chloe asked and Chelsea shook her head.
"I'd like too but Duel Academy doesn't do Karate classes and the nearest club is back on the Main Land." Chelsea responded as she logged in. "But still, I may be out of practice but if I had just gotten one shot in Jessica would've been out for the count."
"Err, Chelsea….." Chloe trailed off once she saw who was at the door.
"What? I didn't make any sexual innuendos this time!" Chelsea pointed out before realizing that her roommate was looking towards the door. "Don't tell me, Martin's outside the door and heard everything I just said?"
"No but close enough." Chloe gulped as the door opened and Chelsea turned around.
"You should really look before you say things like that young lady." Maria said as she entered the room and Chelsea gulped once she realized what she was here for.
"Do I even need to ask why you're here?" Chelsea asked with a sigh once she regained her composure and Maria shook her head. "I thought not."
"Chloe, do you mind leaving the room for a few moments?" Maria asked Chloe and once she retrieved her deck from the top bunk Chloe left the room without hesitation. "I understand you almost got into a fist-fight with Obelisk Blue's Jessica Stevens?"
"She started it, not me!" Chelsea asserted as Maria took a seat, Maria listened as Chelsea explained what happened and shook her head once she finished.
"May I see the bruise?" Maria asked and Chelsea turned her head so that Maria could see the side of her face with the bruise. "Chelsea, you know your temper is what kept you from being admitted into Ra Yellow."
"Yeah, I know." Chelsea grunted as she folded her arms. "But what do you expect me to do when a bitch like her was being rude to me and Beth like that? As far as I'm concerned she deserves an ass kicking just because of her attitude towards this damn dorm!"
"I expect you to be respectful to your fellow students…." Maria trailed off and Chelsea growled.
"That's a fucking joke, right?" Chelsea snapped at her and Maria stopped in her tracks. "Why don't you try telling that to that bitch who started it or are all teachers to biased towards Obelisk Blue to see that most of the students in that dorm are the real problem?!"
"That's enough, young lady!" Maria raised her voice and Chelsea kept her cool. "It may seem like most of the teachers favor Obelisk Blue students but we try to treat them no differently than the other students no matter what dorm they're in."
"That's bullshit and you know it!" Chelsea growled as she span her chair around. "If that's not true then why did Cameron and Jessica get slaps on the wrists when they practically bullied Chloe into turning off the safeties in her duel disk whilst Chloe got detention for the rest of the year?" Chelsea responded as she glared at the teacher. "Or better yet, why did you send more students from Obelisk Blue to Battle City than the other dorms? Hell Chloe was the only Osiris Red student on that trip!"
"Are you done venting?" Maria asked simply as Chelsea took several deep breaths, once she was done Chelsea sighed.
"Yeah, I am." Chelsea grunted as she dug around her pockets for the USB drive Tracy gave her.
"As for your questions, I realize that Cameron and Jessica's punishments may have seemed light compared to Chloe's but unlike Chloe who's punishment was undone by her expulsion duel they are still under scrutiny for it, in fact Jessica will be even more severely punished for the incident back at the main building." Maria told her and Chelsea frowned clearly not convinced.
"Yeah well, that still doesn't explain the lack of Osiris Red students besides Chloe at Battle City." Chelsea pointed out and Maria nodded.
"I was about to explain that." Maria added and Chelsea listened intently. "As for Battle City we had considered several students yourself included but as much as myself and Hamden campaigned for more Osiris Red students in the tournament it was ultimately Martin's decision."
"That didn't stop him from letting Kimberly join them, hell I was going to ask if I could go as well before I was pulled out of school for a few weeks." Chelsea added and Maria frowned.
"Yes, I remember you being pulled out after Nathan's soul was taken." Maria said with a nod and Chelsea frowned. "Like I said you were considered but we ultimately decided against it due to your criminal record."
"Wait, seriously? I only broke the law once and that was enough to keep me out of the damn tournament?!" Chelsea asked before shaking her head. "I was going to talk to Martin about that…."
"And it's unlikely that you would've been allowed on the trip." Maria pointed out and Chelsea sighed in resignation. "Look, Duel Academy's going to be represented at Battle City next year, by then you'll be eighteen and your record will be expunged."
"That's still a whole year away." Chelsea grunted as she folded her arms. "Is that everything? I have homework to do." Chelsea asked and Maria nodded before standing up and leaving the room, Chloe entered the room a few seconds later with a worried look on her face. "You heard my little rant huh?"
"It's not like Maria told me not to listen in." Chloe shrugged her shoulders as she sat down. "Had no idea you where that pissed about not going to Battle City."
"Yeah, but why not? I've always wanted to go to New York and to go on Kaibacorp's money just seemed perfect." Chelsea shrugged before sighing. "But no, my past mistakes bite me on the fucking ass again!"
"Hey relax, like Maria said you'll get another shot next year." Chloe reassured her and Chelsea shook her head.
"Yeah but that's still another year." Chelsea grunted before sighing. "At least we have our match tomorrow."
"Yeah, I was going over my deck trying to think of possible strategies when you showed up." Chloe responded as she glanced at her deck. "How's Beth feeling about being eliminated early?"
"Never got a chance to ask her before Jessica decided to be a bitch." Chelsea shrugged her shoulders before pausing. "Then again that's pretty much typical for her."
"Yeah I'm pretty sure she'll never stop being a bitch." Chloe added with a cheeky smirk. "Seriously, before the fist fight how was she feeling?"
"She seemed to be in high spirits all things considered." Chelsea said after thinking for a few moments. "I think almost beating two Obelisk Blue Students without a single attack helped a bit." Chelsea added and Chloe smirked at that.
"It did actually." Beth commented as she entered the room, she turned to Chelsea and frowned. "I'm glad to see you've calmed down since the incident back at the main building."
"Yeah, just a bit." Chelsea grunted as she blew a stray strand away from her face. "Is it a safe bet that you'll be rooting for me and Chloe in our match tomorrow?"
"Don't try to change the subject, besides we both know the answer to that question." Beth answered as she folded her arms. "Look babe, I was just as pissed off at Jessica as you are but….."
"Yeah, yeah, violence is not the answer." Chelsea grumbled under her breath as she rolled her eyes. "Besides she started it."
"Yeah, I know, I was there remember?" Beth pointed out before frowning. "I'm just concerned okay? We both know where your parents will send you if they expel you here."
"Don't remind me." Chelsea grunted with a sigh of annoyance. "I would've thought Tommy would've been with you back at the main building?"
"He was but he wanted to get back to the Ra Yellow Boys Dorm and think of ways to improve his deck." Beth responded before glancing over at Chloe. "You okay Chloe? You're not as talkative as you usually are."
"I'm fine, I was just daydreaming." Chloe answered as she fitted her deck into her duel disk ready for tomorrow's match. "Yeah, daydreaming about what happened last night." Chloe thought with a slight shudder.
"Well anyway, I'm going back to my dorm." Beth said as she turned to leave. "Chelsea, if you want to come over later and…..relieve stress…..feel free."
"Ever heard of too much information?" Chloe said as a sweat-drop rolled down her head, Beth shook her head before closing the door. "So, you have any ideas for tomorrow's match?"
"Try not to get beat." Chelsea shrugged her shoulders as Chloe's sweat-drop grew in size. "Seriously though, I think we'll be fine, several of the teams that are already through to the next round don't have decks that match."
"Yeah and several others have been eliminated." Chloe added with a nervous gulp. "I'm at least familiar with your deck thanks to my duel against your dad."
"True and I did borrow your deck for that Duel Theory class where Martin made me use a different deck." Chelsea remembered as she grinned. "Relax Chloe; we have nothing to worry about."
"I hope your right." Chloe gulped as she leaned back on the bottom bunk. "I wonder what the other competitors are doing?"
"You mean the guys who haven't competed yet or the guys or have?" Chelsea asked and Chloe shrugged her shoulders as if to say "both". "Probably planning for their matches, why do you ask?"
"No reason." Chloe admitted as she rested her hands behind her head.
*elsewhere on the island*
"That was a close one." Lance sighed in relief as he walked side by side with Evan; the two boys were discussing their match and who they'd like to face in the next round. "Tomorrow's matches should be good."
"Indeed, Chelsea and Chloe should be a team to look out for in this tournament even if they're in Osiris Red." Evan agreed as he put his hands in his pocket. "After all, Chloe did come in third back in Battle City."
"Yeah and it's like I told you, she could've won the match against Theresa if she had played a different Synchro Monster." Lance said with a nod as they neared his dorm. "She sure is something special?"
"Indeed." Evan agreed before smirking. "Now, are you sure that you and Chloe are nothing more than friends?" Evan asked causing Lance to face-fault. "Oh come on man! It's obvious that you're crazy about her!"
"I refuse to even think about answering that." Lance grunted as he got back to his feet. "Honestly I spend one intimate moment with a pretty girl who I've known since before I joined Duel Academy…..and I'm going to shut up before I dig myself all the way to China."
"Shame, you were about halfway there." Evan said with a grin and Lance shook his head, before Lance could respond Evan spotted something amiss. "What are they doing here?" Evan asked and Lance blinked before leaning forward and seeing the two hired guns.
"I don't know but thanks to my experiences in Battle City I'm now extremely wearily of anyone who walks around in a black coat, especially considering how hot the island can get." Lance responded with a frown. "I'd say we ask them but if they are affiliated with the same organization that took Nathan's soul before Battle City…."
"Say no more." Evan nodded in understanding as he frowned. "Maybe we should follow them?" Evan asked and Lance nodded.
"Well I was going to chill out and listen to Sepultura's "Schizophrenia" album but I guess kickass metal can wait." Lance shrugged his shoulders before following Evan as the two boys followed the hooded figures from a distance. "Well I can tell that one of them is female."
"We're a few feet away from them and they are wearing cloaks, how can you tell what their gender is?" Evan pointed out as they followed them.
"I overheard one of them cussing in a female Russian accent." Lance responded and Evan sweat-dropped.
"You listen to metal and yet you have hearing that good?" Evan asked and Lance shrugged his shoulders.
"At least I don't listen to music that was around when the dinosaurs roamed the earth." Lance commented as they followed them to a clearing.
"I'll pretend I don't hear that." Evan grunted in annoyance as the two of them stopped in front of a clearing that the two duelists they were following had stopped in. "Why have they stopped?"
"Do I look like I can read minds?" Lance pointed out before shaking his head. "If they do belong to the same organization that employed Logan, Karina and the Orichalcos duelists that I and the others faced in Battle City then it can't be good."
"Where are they?" The Russian agent, who was apparently unaware of the fact that their targets where watching them from afar grunted as she folded her arms in annoyance.
"They can't be that far away, one of them is in Ra Yellow and that dorm's back there." The American agent answered as he motioned towards the dorm with his head, once again without turning around. "His teammate's in Obelisk Blue and that dorm's Boy's Dorm is just ahead of us."
"Do you think their looking for us?" Evan asked Lance who frowned.
"If they are I'm in no hurry to greet them." Lance grunted as he folded his arms. "I'm also in no hurry to be in another Orichalcos Duel."
"And I'm in no hurry to be in my first." Evan responded with a nod of understanding. "So, what do you suggest?"
"Standing back and seeing what happens?" Lance suggested as another two students entered the clearing. "Wait, isn't that Andreas and Damien?"
"Oh crap, they'll be in trouble if they get involved with those two." Evan realized as they watched the two other students walk into the clearing.
"You have no idea how glad I am to be out of Tracy's class." Andreas commented as he put his hands in his pockets. "She's a good teacher and I'm good at IT because of it but her teaching style just drags out the lesson."
"Tell me about it, I don't think there's a more boring teacher than her." Damien agreed before they looked up and saw the two duelists ahead of them. "Can we help you?" Damien asked as his eyes narrowed.
"Well we were looking for your classmates." The Russian woman chuckled as she and her partner revealed their Orichalcos Duel Disks. "But I suppose we can use you two as a warm up." She added and Andreas's eyes widened once he saw the duel disk.
"This is just what we need, more Orichalcos wielding scumbags!" Damien grunted as he glared at the two of them. "What do you want with our classmates? Are you looking to recruit another Otto?"
"Thanks for reminding me that my brother trapped my soul in the Orichalcos." Andreas grunted in annoyance and Damien just shook his head. "Feel free to answer that in your own time."
"Do you really think we'd risk recruiting another Otto?" The American agent asked and the two duelists blinked. "Seriously, the guy was supposed to be undercover but he blew his cover the moment he got to face his own brother, insulted some chick's dead mother and broke the law in the period of a week."
"What he's trying to say is he put the organization at risk over a silly little feud." The Russian woman added.
"And having agents attack competing duelists in one of the biggest Duel Monster Tournaments in the world didn't?" Andreas pointed out and the two duelists frowned.
"Enough talk." The Russian woman said before removing her cloak revealing an attractive, athletic woman with long black hair and blue eyes who was wearing a revealing outfit. "You may not be our intended targets but you will do for a warm-up, you may call me Anna."
"And as for me, you can call me Tyson." The American agent said before removing his cloak revealing a tall, well-built man with dirty blonde hair and green eyes who was wearing a black jacket with a red t-shirt underneath, blue jeans and black boots. "And as far as Andreas is concerned we're going to finish what Otto started."
"We won't give you the chance." Andreas grunted as he and Damien activated their Duel Disks and drew their opening hands and their opponents did likewise, unbeknownst to any of them Sarah was watching the exchange from a nearby clearing whilst watching the action on a laptop and she wasn't happy.
"I told you to target the winners of the last match!" Sarah said into her earpiece and the two Orichalcos Duelists frowned.
"Hey, just consider this a warm-up all right?" Tyson answered back with a smirk. "Besides we were bound to target Otto's brother at some point, this way we can kill two birds with one stone."
"All right but remember this match won't feature the same rules as the last tag match to feature the seal, if one of you goes then the match will continue." Sarah reminded them and they nodded. "And I'm sure I don't need to tell you what the price of failure is."
"We got it loud and clear." Tyson responded with a frown.
"And this is why I hate working with hired guns." Sarah thought with a grunt as she watched the duel unfold.
"All right, I'll go first!" Tyson said as he drew another card. "And it's your unlucky day, I activate Terra Forming, with this Spell Card I can add one Field Spell to my hand from my deck." Tyson announced before picking up and searching through his deck. "And I'm sure I don't need to tell you what I'm searching for, you've probably already guessed based on our duel disks."
"Yes, that seems to be a popular card among your fellow employees, that or Demise of the Land." Andreas responded as he folded his arms. "So go ahead, play it, we all know that it's coming." Andreas added as Tyson shuffled his deck.
"You're in an awfully quick mood to get your soul stolen again but don't worry, I'll happily oblige." Tyson answered as he sent his Spell to the graveyard and played the Field Spell. "I activate The Seal of the Orichalcos!"
"Here we go!" Damien grunted as the seal surrounded all four duelists and the pentagram appeared on Tyson and Anna's head. "Andreas, any tips for a first time Orichalcos fighter?"
"Yes." Andreas answered and Damien listened intently. "Try not to let them take your soul." Andreas answered causing Damien to face-fault. "Besides that, damage is real, seal can't be destroyed, and all their monsters gain five hundred attack points." Andreas responded as he thought back to his Orichalcos Duels. "Oh yes, anyone who uses the seal tends to be crazy."
"Gee, I never would've guessed." Damien said sarcastically before turning to Tyson and Anya. "Anything he forgot?"
"Nah, he covered all the basics." Tyson shrugged before picking up another card. "Let's see how you like this! I play another Spell Card called Greed Cyclone." Tyson played the card which depicted the hurricane from Heavy Storm only it was carrying the shattered pieces of the Pot of Greed. "But we'll get to its effect later, for now I set two down and end my turn." Tyson set the two cards down and Andreas drew his card.
"No monsters? Those facedown cards must be powerful." Andreas thought before looking at his drawn card. "Blast, Closed Forrest would be a very useful card right now but I can't play it due to the Seal, but there are other moves I can make." Andreas thought before picking up three cards. "I set two cards facedown and I summon Berserk Gorilla in attack mode!" Andreas played the card and the large, angry gorilla appeared on the field (4/2000/1000).
"Since he brought that out it's a safe bet that he's going to try to use a similar combo to the one he used in his tag duel." Tyson thought before grinning. "Just try to bring out Green Baboon, I dare you!"
"I end my turn." Andreas announced and Anna drew her card.
"Tyson's started off strong; let's see if I can start off stronger." Anna thought as she looked at her hand. "I start my turn by summoning Genex Udine in attack mode!" Anna played the card and a clearly female sea creature appeared on the field, besides that it was a strange creature that was dark blue in color (3/1200/600) and her attack increased to 1700 thanks to the seal.
"Genex Udine? I wasn't aware that people ran her in Genex decks." Damien commented and Anna and Tyson shared a grin.
"Whoever said I was running Genex?" Anna asked before sending a card from her deck to the graveyard. "But for now I activate Udine's effect, when she is Normal Summoned I can send once Water monster from my deck to the graveyard to add Genex Controller to my hand." Anna added before picking up her deck and searching through it, once she found the card she was looking for she added it to her hand. "And now the effect of the monster I just sent to the graveyard activates!"
"That doesn't sound good." Andreas gulped and Anna grinned.
"For you it doesn't, the monster I just sent is a very lethal card called Atlantean Heavy Infantry." Anna said as she held up the card (2/0/1600). "When this card is sent to the graveyard I can target one card one the field and destroy it, and since Berserk Gorilla is the only monster you have….." Anna trailed off as the gorilla was consumed by a tidal wave.
"My gorilla may be gone." Andreas grunted as his life-points dropped to 7000. "But by destroying it you activated the effect of one of my strongest monsters, Green Baboon, Defender of the Forrest!" Andreas played the card and the large green baboon appeared on the field (7/2600/1800).
"Yeah, but that's not the only effect her combo activated." Tyson chimed in with a grin. "Remember Greed Cyclone? You see, its effect activates whenever a card's destroyed, with it I can draw two cards." Tyson explained before drawing twice.
"Wait, that's without any cost?!" Damien yelled out in surprise and the two duelists grinned. "That's broken….."
"And they don't care." Andreas told him and Damien turned to him. "I've been a witness to several of the recent Orichalcos Duels; this isn't the first time a broken card has been used by them and it won't be the last." Andreas told him and Damien grunted.
"And we're not done drawing, I play the Spell Card Moray of Greed, with this I shuffle two Water Monsters back into my deck and draw three cards." Anna explained before she shuffled the cards into her deck and drew three times. "I set two cards facedown and end my turn." Anna announced and Damien quickly drew his card.
"Okay, since you have monsters and I don't I can Special Summon Blood Pirate – Sword Jugglin' Jack in attack mode!" Damien played the card and a tall lanky man in a pirate's uniform appeared on the field, he was bold and was juggling a sword around (3/1200/1000). "And since he was special summoned via his effect I can activate his other effect which lets me search for a Level 4 or lower Blood Pirate monster and add it to my hand."
"And you called Greed Cyclone broken?" Tyson grunted as Damien picked up his deck and searched through it, once he found the card that he was looking for he added it to his hand.
"It's not broken because it comes with a drawback, if I use both effects I have to skip my Battle Phase." Damien explained before playing another card. "Next I activate Sword Test Dummy; this spell card cuts my warrior's attack in half." Damien explained as several scars appeared on Sword Jugglin' Jack's body causing his attack to drop to 600.
"Well, thanks for making him an even easier target for our monsters." Tyson said with a grin and Damien frowned.
"This coming from the guy whose field is empty?" Damien asked before shaking his head. "But in return for that Sword Jugglin' Jack can't be destroyed in battle until my next turn so….." Damien trailed off before picking up two cards. "I set two cards facedown and end my turn." Damien announced and Tyson smirked before drawing his card.
"That's good, because the fun's just beginning!" Tyson said with a grin as he drew his card.
*elsewhere*
"Almost done….." Chelsea trailed off as she worked on the homework that she had gotten from Tracy, as she had expected it was a relatively easy piece of work; a Q&A sheet that listed several computer problems and Chelsea had to figure out how to fix them. "First one was a piece of cake; I had that problem with my first desktop." Chelsea thought to herself as she thought about the last problem.
"Need any help?" Chloe offered and Chelsea shook her head.
"It's cool, I got this." Chelsea responded as she typed in the answer. "No offense Chloe, would you be able to fix any of these problems without any help from me or anyone else?" Chelsea asked and Chloe looked at the sheet before sweat-dropping.
"Yeah, all of the stuff on this sheet just flies right over my head." Chloe admitted as she scratched her head in confusion. "How did you get so good at computers anyway?"
"My mom works as an IT Technician, I guess I inherited her passion for computers at an early age and she taught me the ins and outs." Chelsea shrugged her shoulders in response as she saved her work to the USB. "If you ever do get a laptop I'll have to teach you this stuff."
"Yeah, I know, for now though I'll just stick to my IPod." Chloe said as she sat down on the bottom bunk.
"Chloe, I hope you're not planning on relaxing." Silent Magician interrupted her train of thought and Chloe blinked. "Andreas and Damien are in an Orichalcos Duel."
"WHAT?" The two girls yelled out simultaneously and they shared a look.
"Wattchimera told you as well?" Chloe asked and Chelsea nodded. "Okay, if we hurry we can there before their opponents even activate the seal."
"It's too late for that." Tyler said as he entered the room making the two girls jump. "I apologize but I'm assuming you two got the same message?"
"Yeah, where are the others?" Chelsea asked as she turned to him.
"They are on their way there now; they sent me to pick you two up, we weren't able to find Lance but I think it's a safe bet that he's at the duel site already." Tyler said before motioning them to follow him and the two girls left the dorm room.
*back at the duel*
"Now that my turn has begun I can activate my trap." Tyson announced as the trap flipped up revealing a building being demolished whilst one worker held the Pot of Greed. "Destructive Greed, this little trap requires that I already have a Continuous Spell Card on the field such as Greed Cyclone and I can only activate it during my standby phase."
"If it's anything like Greed Cyclone then we're in trouble." Damien said with a frown and Tyson grinned.
"You have no idea, you see when I draw outside of my draw phase this trap's effect lets me destroy one card on the field, discard one card in your hand AND remove from play one monster in your deck!" Tyson explained and his opponents' eyes widened when they heard that. "And before you complain about that effect being broken, I don't give a shit!"
"See what I mean?" Andreas muttered to Damien who nodded in response.
"Now the real fun begins, I summon Spirit of the Pot of Greed in attack mode!" Tyson played the card and the infamous Pot of Greed appeared on the field, a few seconds passed and a white transparent ghost emerged from it (1/100/100) and its attack increased to 600 because of the Seal's presence on the field.
"People still use that thing?!" Damien said with a scoff. "It's useless! Its companion card was banned long ago and I doubt it's ever coming back!"
"Damien, that is true but don't forget he isn't playing by our rules." Andreas pointed out and Damien's eyes widened when he realized that Andreas was right.
"Four eyes is right, I activate Pot of Greed!" Tyson played the card and quickly drew two cards. "And now Destructive Greed's effect activates, my first target is that overgrown monkey over there!" Tyson announced as Green Baboon howled in pain but its hologram shattered, Damien and Andreas quickly discarded a card each before removing a monster from their decks. "And with Spirit on the field I get to draw three cards instead of two but that's not all, now Greed Cyclone's effect activates!"
"Oh crap, he's going to use that effect again!" Damien grunted as Tyson drew three cards.
"That's right and I think I'll target Andreas's facedown card on the right!" Tyson announced as the trap card shattered.
"You just made a big mistake, the card you destroyed was a very powerful yet situational Trap Card called Forrest Graveyard!" Andreas announced as he held up the trap which depicted graves with the names of several beast type monsters on it. "To activate this it has to be targeted and destroyed by an opponent's card effect such as your combo, it lets me summon as many beast spirit tokens as possible." Andreas explained as five ghastly beasts appeared before him (1/0/0).
"Hah! Even my Spirit can destroy those things!" Tyson bragged and Andreas smirked.
"He won't get a chance because this move leaves you in a loop." Andreas commented and Tyson blinked in confusion. "As long as Forrest Graveyard is in my graveyard more Beast Spirit tokens will spawn each time one is destroyed and as long as at least one token is present on the field you can't target my spells or traps for an effect."
"And you accuse me of using broken cards!?" Tyson yelled out as he continued to draw, Sarah frowned as she watched the duel and contacted Anna.
"Anna we both know that Destructive Greed and Greed Cyclone's effects are mandatory, if you have a way to get Tyson out of the loop do it now!" Sarah yelled down the earpiece and Anna quickly looked over the cards on her field.
"I can't!" Anna responded and Tyson's eyes widened as his hand grew larger and his deck size shrank considerably with each beast token destroyed.
"Ya dumb broad! Do you know what'll happen once I run out of cards!?" Tyson yelled at her and Anna remained silent as Destructive Greed's effect activated for the last time causing Tyson to deck out. "No! No!" Tyson said as he dropped the cards in his hand, Andreas caught site of two of the cards and frowned.
"It's starting to make sense." Andreas thought as he looked at the cards, Infinite Cards and Muka Muka (2/600/300). "If he had been able to activate Infinite Cards and summon Muka Muka he'd have a monster with potentially unlimited attack power." Andreas thought as the seal closed in around Tyson and took his soul. "It's not too late to surrender Anna, your partner's out of the match after all….."
"You're kidding right?" Anna asked as Andreas drew his card. "My deck's so powerful that I can take on the two of you single handedly."
"We shall see about that." Andreas commented before looking at his drawn card. "I sacrifice one of my beast tokens to summon Big Tusked Mammoth in attack mode!" Andreas played the card and the large purple mammoth appeared in the place of one of the tokens (5/2000/1000). "Your partner was wrong however, Forrest Graveyard does have a drawback."
"Oh?" Anna asked as she watched the remaining tokens shatter.
"Yes, if I tribute any of them the remaining tokens are destroyed." Andreas explained before grinning. "But I have a mammoth here that can prevent you from attacking the same turn you summon a monster and, more importantly, can destroy Genex Udine!" Andreas commanded and the mammoth charged across the field before impaling the monster on its tusk destroying it and bringing Anna's life-points down to 7700.
"No matter, that monster had fulfilled its purpose." Anna commented before sending the monster to the graveyard. "But before you even think about ending your turn I'll activate my trap card Abyss-Sphere, with this I can special summon a Mermail monster from my deck with its effects negated and I chose one of the cards I shuffled into my deck with Morray of Greed, Mermail Abysslinde!" Anna played the card and a mermaid appeared on the field, she had long, blue wavy hair and was wearing a breast plate (3/1500/1200) and her attack increased to 2000 thanks to the Seal. "However she will be destroyed during the end phase."
"So callous, she's no better than Karen was in my first Orichalcos Duel." Andreas thought before looking at his hand. "I set a card facedown and end my turn." Andreas announced and Abysslinde shattered as Anna drew her card.
"Good because now that Abysslinde has been sent to the graveyard her effect activates, this will allow me to special summon one more Mermail monster as long as it's not another copy of Abysslinde and I think that Mermail Oceabyss will do nicely!" Anna played the card and another mermaid appeared on the field, however she was blonde this time and was wearing a blue breastplate with a matching tail (3/1100/1900) and her attack increased to 1600 thanks to the seal.
"If she's anything like Abysslinde then she's more dangerous than she looks." Damien commented and Andreas nodded in agreement.
"More than you know but I'll get to her effect in a moment." Anna responded before discarding another card. "But first by discarding another Water Type Monster to my graveyard I can special summon another Mermail, Mermail Abyssteaus!" Anna played the card and a strange humanoid reptile appeared on the field, it was wearing silver armor and was carrying a spear (7/1700/2400) and its attack increased to 2200 thanks to the seal.
"Even with the power boost that is an incredibly weak Level 7 monster." Andreas pointed out and Anna grinned. "Besides, thanks to my Mammoth's effect it can't attack."
"I wouldn't concern yourself with such trivial matters, first I activate Oceabyss's effect whilst lets me target a Mermail Monster and Special Summon from my deck any number of Level 4 or lower Mermail monsters as long as their levels match up to the targeted monster, my target is Abyssteaus and the cards I'm bringing out are Mermail Abysslunde….." Anna trailed off as another Mermaid appeared on the field; this one seemed to be much younger than the other two with light brown hair with a matching breastplate (3/1300/400).
"This archetype uses child soldiers?!" Damien asked as her attack increased to 1800 thanks to the seal only to be ignored by Anna.
"And the only male Mermail, Mermail Abysspike and they are both in attack mode!" Anna played the card and another Mermaid appeared on the field, like Anna said it was a male and was very muscular, he was wearing a breast plate like the others though (4/1600/800) and its attack increased to 2100 thanks to the seal. "And when this card is Special or normal summoned I can activate its effect, I discard one more Water type card to my graveyard and in return I can add one Level 3 Water Type Monster from my deck to my hand."
"Mako Tsunami would've loved this archetype." Andreas grunted under his breath as Anna added the card.
"Who cares about that never was? Besides the monster I just added has an effect of her own so I special summon Mermail Abyssdine!" Anna played the card and a Mermaid who looked even younger than Abysslinde appeared on the field, she had long pink hair and was wearing a blue breastplate (3/1000/200).
"I take back what I said about Mako Tsunami." Andreas grunted in disgust as her attack increased to 1500 thanks to the seal and Anna shook her head.
"Who cares? I don't! Now then under normal circumstances I wouldn't be able to use her effect but since the Orichalcos is in play….." Anna trailed off before retrieving another card from her graveyard. "I can and will use her effect, when she's Special Summoned I can Special Summon a second Mermail from my graveyard and I chose Mermail Abysslinde!"
"You're doing more Special Summons? I'm half expecting there to be a Tuner Monster among them!" Damien commented as the monster returned to the field and Anna shook her head.
"Mermails don't have a tuner among their ranks but they instead rely on overwhelming power to crush their opponents." Anna responded and Andreas shook his head.
"Aren't you forgetting something? Because of my mammoth you can't attack!" Andreas pointed out and Anna smirked before picking up another card.
"That is true…..but I believe this next card should be familiar to you, after all, the one who defeated Logan made great use of this card!" Anna said as she played the card. "It's called Mischief of the Time Goddess!"
"Oh my god…" Andreas trailed off as the massive clock appeared above the field and moved forward one turn.
"Now I could attack Damien's monster but since it can't be destroyed in battle thanks to his Spell Card I'll settle for this, Mermails, attack and destroy Andreas!" Anna commanded and the strongest Mermail destroyed Big Tusked Mammoth first followed by the others bringing his life-points down to four hundred.
"Andreas, you okay?" Damien asked as Andreas fell to his knees.
"I'm fine!" Andreas grunted as he got back to his feet, he was breathing heavily due to the attack but didn't seem any worse for wear. "Are you done?" Andreas asked bluntly through gritted teeth and Anna looked over her hand.
"Yes, I am done." Anna announced and Damien drew his card. "But I feel to see how an Archetype as confusing as the Blood Pirates can do anything to stop my onslaught."
"We'll see about that." Damien commented as Sword Jugglin' Jack's attack increased to its normal amount.
"Sorry to interrupt Damien but I have a trap to play!" Andreas announced as he activated his trap. "Shock Draw, since I just took a little over seven-thousand points of damage I get to draw seven cards!" Andreas announced before drawing seven times.
"If I knew that you wanted to share Tyson's fate so badly I would've summoned another monster!" Anna commented and Andreas frowned.
"Did I hear that right?!" Chelsea yelled out as she, Chloe and Tyler approached the duel with the others in tow. "Seven Thousand Points of damage in one turn?!"
"Unfortunately yes and with that archetype I'm not surprised." Tyler commented as he folded his arms. "Mermails are a very dangerous archetype but they are even worse when paired up with another Archetype known as the Atlanteans."
"How bad can they be?" Chloe asked before noticing the amount of monsters on Anna's side of the field. "Am I seeing things?"
"No, you're not; swarming the field is just one of the Archetype's strengths." Tyler commented with a frown. "Let's hope that Damien and Andreas can get out of this."
"Wait, didn't our Duel Spirits say that there were two Orichalcos Duelists?" Chelsea realized and Lance turned to them.
"There where but Andreas was able to force one of them to deck out, he's the unconscious guy lying opposite Anna." Lance told them as he pointed him out. "Oh and hi by the way."
"Anyway since Sword Jugglin' Jack has been on the field for a turn I can activate my trap card!" Damien announced as the trap flipped up revealing Blood Pirate – Ghost ship at sea with a crew member going overboard. "Man Overboard!"
"Didn't you play a Spell Card with the same name during our tag duel?" Andreas asked and Damien nodded.
"Yeah but I2 created two cards with the same name but different effects…..not to mention the fact that one's a trap and one's a Spell Card." Damien admitted before shaking his head. "With this I can destroy Sword Jugglin' Jack!"
"Wait, what?!" Anna and Andreas yelled out simultaneously as the monster's hologram shattered into a million pieces.
"Then what was the point of using Sword Test Dummy?!" Andreas asked and Damien gave him a reassuring smirk.
"Because in exchange for that I can bring out two Blood Pirate monsters from my hand as long as they are the same level as the destroyed monster with their effects negated!" Damien announced as he played the cards. "So I summon Buccaneer Bible and Pete the Well-Tanned!"
"The more I learn about this archetype the weirder the names get….." Andreas trailed off as the two monsters appeared on the field, Buccaneer Bible he recognized from the tag duel (3/500/700) and the new monster was a tall pirate in a fancy pirate outfit with long black hair and, as the name suggested, a nice tan (3/1100/500). "But since Buccaneer Bible wasn't summoned via the effect of a Blood Pirate Monster you can't increase his level even if his effect wasn't negated."
"True but I just need these guys for this Synchro Summon!" Damien announced as the two pirates leapt into the air, Buccaneer Bible dissolved into three Synchro Rings that quickly surrounded Pete the Well-Tanned. "I tune them together to Synchro Summon Blood Pirate – Lazy Eye Deb in attack mode!" Damien played the card and a new monster appeared on the field, this one was a female pirate in a revealing pirates outfit, she had an eye patch over one eye and had long dark hair (6/2000/2500).
"Hah! That pirate would've been better off in defense mode! Instead you made her a prime target for my army!" Anna said with a cocky smirk and Damien just grinned.
"That would be the case if it weren't for Pete The Well-Tanned's effect!" Damien commented as Lazy Eye Deb drew her sword. "If he's used in the Synchro Summon of a Level 6 or lower Blood Pirate Monster I can destroy up to two cards on the field that have more attack points than the monster in question!"
"What? NO!" Anna yelled out as Lazy Eye Deb dashed forward before cutting the two strongest Mermails in half with her sword.
"Now before you object to that effect being broken and whatnot, I'll save you the trouble, it's not." Damien commented as his monster returned to his side of the field. "If Pete The Well-Tanned's effect is used successfully than the monster summoned with it can't attack on the same turn its summoned so instead I'll end my turn." Damien announced and Andreas drew his card.
"I don't have nearly enough life-points to bring back Green Baboon but I'm sure there's something I can do…" Andreas trailed off before seeing the card that he had drawn. "Perfect!" Andreas thought before setting the card. "I set a monster in defense mode…" Andreas announced as the facedown monster appeared on the field. "Damien, can I borrow your Synchro?"
"Be my guest!" Damien answered and Lazy Eye Deb made her way over to Andreas's side of the field.
"Then it's time I got some revenge for the damage you caused! Lazy Eye Deb, attack Abyssdine!" Andreas commanded and the swordswoman charged towards the mermaid before cutting her in half and bringing Anna's life-points down to 7200. "I may have a long way to go if I want to turn this duel around in my favor but this will do for now." Andreas thought as he glanced at Anna's side of the field.
"Are you going to end your turn or not?" Anna asked impatiently and Andreas frowned before picking up three cards.
"I set three cards facedown and end my turn." Andreas announced and once Lazy Eye Deb returned to Damien's side of the field Anna drew her card.
"Seven draws and the most you can do during your turn is set a monster and borrow your partner's Synchro for a turn? That's pathetic!" Anna scoffed before looking at her drawn card. "I activate a Spell Card called Salvage; this lets me add two Level 4 or lower Water Type Monsters from my graveyard to my hand!" Anna announced before retrieving the cards and adding them to her hand. "It's time I put you out of your misery, first I discard the two Water type monsters I just retrieved from my graveyard from my hand to special summon Mermail Abyssmegalo!"
"Oh joy, another strong monster." Andreas grunted in annoyance as the monster appeared on the field, it was a weird looking humanoid fish that was wearing gold armor (7/2400/1900) and its attack increased to 2900 thanks to the seal.
"You have no idea; first off when my monster is summoned in this fashion I can add an Abyss Spell/Trap Card from my deck to my hand!" Anna explained before picking up and searching through her deck, once she found the card that she was looking for she added it to her hand. "And now it's time for his other, more lethal effect! To activate it I must tribute another Mermail Monster….." Anna trailed off as Oceabyss's hologram shattered. "But in exchange he can attack twice."
"Oh no….." Chelsea trailed off when it hit her.
"Abyssmegalo, attack his pathetic last line of defense!" Anna commanded and the large sea creature charged towards Andreas's monster…..however Anna's eyes widened when he recognized the monster. "You drew Nimble Momonga (2/1000/100)? How the hell did you…?"
"Draw it when I needed it the most?" Andreas asked as his life-points increased to 1400. "Yugi Motuh would call this the "Heart of the Cards"; I just call it luck of the draw!" Andreas added before picking up two more copies of his monster and setting them. "I believe you have two more shots at this….."
"Abyssmegalo, attack the Nimble Momonga on the right!" Anna interrupted him and the sea monster turned his sword to the right increasing Andreas's life-points to 2400 and destroying the second Nimble Momonga.
"You just made a big mistake!" Andreas said with a grin even as his life-points dropped down to 1400 again. "Or did you forget the presence of a certain monster in my graveyard?" Andreas asked before playing the card and Green Baboon returned to the field alongside the set Nimble Momonga.
"Hah! Your baboon may be strong but he is no match for my strongest monster." Anna scoffed before setting a card. "I set this and end my turn." Anna announced and Damien drew his card.
"Lazy Eye Deb, attack Abysslinde!" Damien commanded and the pirate charged forward before slicing the young Mermaid down the middle bringing Anna's life-points down to 7000. "I end my turn at that."
"She didn't activate her trap in response to Mermail Abysslinde's destruction; it might be another Abyss Sphere in that case." Andreas thought before looking at his drawn card. "Dead draw but I can remedy that." Andreas thought before flipping up his last Nimble Momonga. "Now that I have flipped up my monster I'll activate one of my traps, Beast Burial Ritual! I give up my last Momonga….." Andreas trailed off as the monster's hologram shattered. "And I draw two more cards; however I can't use any of them for the rest of the turn."
"Well, that was pointless!" Anna said as Andreas drew his cards before sending the trap and monster to the graveyard.
"I wouldn't be so quick to judge if I where you!" Andreas retorted before looking over her field. "Okay, the weakest monster on her field is Abyssdine but that thing's in her backrow which means I can't touch it." Andreas thought before looking at his facedowns. "I shall end my turn at that."
"That's all huh? How pathetic, I expected more of a challenge!" Anna scoffed as she drew her card. "I activate my trap!" Anna announced as her trap card flipped up. "Abyss-squall, this lets me special summon three Mermails from my graveyard with their effects negated!" Anna announced as Mermail Oceabyss, Mermail Abysspike and Mermail Abyssteaus appeared on the field crouching down. "However they will be destroyed during the end phase."
"So what was the point?" Damien asked and Anna smirked.
"Let's just say that I wasn't being entirely truthful when I called Abyssteaus my strongest monster!" Anna responded as the two level seven monsters vanished in white orbs of light. "I use my two level seven monsters to construct an overlay network!"
"You're doing an XYZ summon?! Those monsters are supposed to be incredibly hard to get!" Damien yelled out and Anna smirked as she retrieved a monster from her extra deck.
"That is none of your concern!" Anna said as she played the card. "By overlaying my monsters I can XYZ Summon the strongest monster in my deck, Mermail Abyssgaios!" Anna announced as the monster appeared on the field, it was a massive male mermaid with a long flowing black beard that was wearing an ocean-blue breast plate and carrying a trident (Rank: 7/2800/1600) and his attack increased to 3300 thanks to the seal.
"This isn't good!" Damien gulped as he stared down the monster.
"Oh, it gets better." Anna said with a cocky smirk. "For starters this card renders your monsters useless! As long as it's on the field any level five or higher can't attack but that's not the only way they are rendered useless!" Anna said with as her smirk grew. "I detach one of my monsters to activate his effect and this effect allows me to negate the effects off all monsters on the opponents' side of the field until the end phase!"
"Oh no, our monsters are defenseless!" Damien yelled out and Anna smirked.
"You can consider this a message for my real targets! Abyssgaios, attack Lazy….." Anna trailed off before noticing that Andreas was shaking his head.
"Wouldn't it make more sense to target my monster?" Andreas asked earning confused looks from the other duelists. "Sure, Lazy Eye Deb is the weakest monster on our side of the field but at the same time Green Baboon is the bigger threat!"
"He has a point." Anna thought as she narrowed her eyes. "I'd do more damage attacking Lazy Eye Deb but if he draws Megamorph or a similar card I'd be finished!" Anna thought as she turned to Abyssgaios. "Abyssgaios, your new target is….."
"HE'S BLUFFING!" Sarah yelled down the earpiece catching Anna off guard. "It's obviously a trap! Don't fall for it!"
"Did you hear that?" Chelsea asked the others who nodded in agreement. "That sounded like it was coming from that clearing over there!"
"Chelsea, Chloe, Tyler, come with me." Theresa instructed them and they nodded. "The rest of you stay here and give them our support, if it's the same woman from Chelsea's Orichalcos Duel then we can't let her get away!"
"Don't need to tell me twice." Chelsea nodded in agreement as she and the others followed Theresa.
"Hey! I said no backseat dueling! This is my duel and I'll conduct it how I see fit!" Anna yelled back before turning to Andreas. "As I was saying, Abyssgaios, attack Green Baboon now!" Anna commanded and Abyssgaios pointed his trident at Andreas…..
"That was just what I was hoping for!" Andreas announced as he flipped his trap up. "I activate my trap card Gold Coins for Cats!"
"And you call the names of MY cards weird!?" Damien asked as he turned to him and Andreas shook his head.
"Not important, you see when a Beast Type Monster I control is targeted for an attack this trap lets me increase the targeted monster's attack by half the attack points of the attacking monster during the Damage Step only!" Andreas announced and Anna's eyes widened as Green Baboon's attack skyrocketed to 4200, it leapt over the wave sent by Abyssgaios's trident and slammed it's club into the XYZ monster destroying it and bringing Anna's life-points down to 6000.
"Hah! Nice bluff man!" Damien said with a grin which Andreas returned, Anna smeared before moving her remaining monster to defense mode.
"Just take your damn turn already!" Anna snapped at them and Damien grinned before drawing his card once Green Baboon's was back to normal and the remaining two Mermails that were summoned by Abyss-squall shattered into a million pieces.
"Damn it! I told her not to attack Green Baboon but she didn't listen!" Sarah grunted in annoyance as she punched the ground in frustration. "Even an idiot like Damien could see through that bluff like Andreas had a huge neon sign over his said with the words "I'm bluffing" on it!"
"Hey you, you're the one from my duel!" Sarah's eyes widened when she looked up to see Chloe, Chelsea, and Tyler and Theresa standing there, naturally it was Chelsea that spoke up.
"Well, look at the time, I'd better get going!" Sarah said before bolting, Tyler and Theresa took off after them whilst Chelsea had a better look at the laptop. "Victor, I have been found out and I am forced to leave the island, requesting immediate extraction!"
"What off the laptop?" Victor asked and Sarah shook her head.
"I had to abandon it; it would've slowed me down if I hadn't." Sarah answered as she ran towards the docks. "I wouldn't worry about that, I've set it up so that it'll automatically wipe the hard drive clean if anyone who doesn't know my password and fails to enter it three times tries to access the encrypted files on it!" Sarah added and Victor frowned. "As for Anna, tell her that if she wins despite that setback I'll have the speedboat return for her."
"Very well, I will have a replacement ready for you when you return to base." Victor answered and Sarah smirked as she saw the dock closing in with a waiting speedboat.
"She's getting away!" Theresa yelled out and Tyler frowned.
"Not this time!" Tyler said before he picked up the pace; however as he neared Sarah she leapt into the speedboat which quickly drove off before Tyler could jump in. "Damn it! That's twice that she's eluded us!"
"We did get one thing though, she left that laptop behind." Theresa answered and Tyler nodded.
"I'll look over it with Chelsea's help; she's bound to have some precautions in place in case she has to abandon it!" Tyler told her as they returned to the duel site.
*a few minutes earlier, at the duel site*
"Andreas, may I borrow Green Baboon for this one?" Damien asked and Andreas nodded as the monster made its way to Damien's side of the field. "I summon Blood Pirate – Seal Breath Ted!" Damien played the card and a tall muscular pirate appeared on the field carrying several swords at once (4/1900/1200). "He may be the only normal monster in the archetype but he still packs a punch, Seal Breath Ted, attack her last line of defense!" Damien commanded and the pirate charged towards the mermaid before cutting her in half.
"You're fooling yourself if you think that's my last line of defense!" Anna scoffed as she sent her monster to the graveyard. "All you'll manage to do with this attack is match my life-points point for point with Andreas's!"
"We'll see about that! Lazy Eye Deb, Green Baboon, attack her life-points directly!" Damien commanded and the two monsters charged towards Anna, their attacks hit bringing her life-points down to 1400. "That's your cue Andreas!"
"Right and I activate Beast Soul Swap! With this I return Green Baboon to my hand….." Andreas trailed off as the monster appeared in his hand. "And lets me special summon another Beast Type monster with the same level and since there's no limit as to what monsters I can bring back….." Andreas trailed off as Green Baboon appeared on his side of the field again. "He's all yours Damien!" Andreas announced as Green Baboon leapt back to Damien's side of the field.
"Right, I don't know who you planned to target after us but we are putting an end to it! Green Baboon, finish this duel now!" Damien commanded and Anna could only brace herself as the club slammed into her head again bringing her life-points down to zero. "That was too close!" Damien commented as the seal closed in around Anna, the seal took her soul was a blood curdling scream as the others returned. "Did you guys catch her accomplice?"
"No but she left a laptop behind." Tyler said as he held it up. "Chelsea, I'll need your help to crack this thing."
"Say no more!" Chelsea nodded as the duelists walked off.
