Chapter 11: Riken's Grief.
Netsu: "simple I activated the effect of my Rush Gardna monster card. By removing this card in my deck, when I have less than five hundred life points, I can negate one monster's attack and end your battle phase. Then I can add one spell from my deck to my hand. I get heavy storm!" the slim black duel disc on netsu's right arm ejects his deck out. Left hand grasping at flying stack of cards. Folding out his deck as if it were his hand, he pulls out the spell in question.
Andrew: "fine. I end turn. You had better get something good. Otherwise YOU WILL LOSE!!" Andrew's arms now creaking from the stress of the muscles within as he grips his right hand into a fist.
Netsu: "Draw! Ha! Just as I thought. I summon hole digger." a picture of the guys from a-teem trap disposal unit digging many trap holes flips up on the field. The monsters immediately bursting out of the card. And getting strait to work. "this lovely card prevents you from attacking the next turn he is summoned. And if you summon any other monsters they are immediately destroyed. I set 3 cards on the backfield and end turn." (backfield is a professional reference to the spell and trap card zone.) a devilish grin appearing on Netsu's face. two cards in hand. One monster. Three cards in spell/trap card zone.
Justin: "great! Unless he gets rid of that thing he cant summon any other monsters. Plus he cant attack." Justin's attention now focusing over onto Andrew to see if he can pull out of this mess.
Bryan: "well at least he has more life points than Netsu…" acting as though everything will be alright, Bryan decides to sit down to take a load off on one of the d-wheels, Riken's.
Andrew: "I don't know guys. He seems pretty confident that he'll win. Lets just see how confident he really is. Draw!" I activate the spell card polymerization. I fuse Dark Blade with Kiryu! In this power struggle I couldn't ask for a more trustworthy ally. Fusion summon! Dark Blade The Dragonic Manipulator!" dark blade bursts out of his purple card. On the back of Kiryu the crimson caped warrior stands. Confident on his ability to win. (9/2700atk/2500def/dragon/dark) "I end my turn…" Andrew now, with nothing else in his hand, is forced to end his turn.
Netsu: "nice. You found out that special summoning monsters wont get them destroyed by my hole digger. Well sorry to say, but that isn't enough! Draw! I switch digger into defense mode and set one card face down and end turn." a square shape with a spiral design appears on the field. The back of a face down card is represented beside the other three.
Andrew: "Draw! Now, Dark Blade The Dragonic Manipulator attack him directly!" Andrew throws his hand up as if to point strait in Netsu's face.
Netsu: "what?!? You cant do that my monster is still on the field!" acting irrational with his body movement.
Andrew: "that is the effect of my monster. he can attack you directly, and if he does so, i can discard two cards from your hand.
Netsu Throws his hands around. Obviously not happy with not being able to manipulate this duel the way he wants it.
Netsu: "fine then, but if I lose then so do you!" Netsu points over to the left of where he is. Showing a crane holding up a crate that would have been on the back of a truck dangling over Riken. Being tied to a jack (what lifts up those heavy trucks) wasn't able to move at all.
Justin: "you fiend! Your depending on trickery to win again?! Why? Why cant you just be fair? So help me if you hurt him I'll…" Justin gets cut off before he can continue…
Netsu: "you wont do anything! If you make any sort of movement to save your friend. Then Riken will be crushed. i assure you." Netsu starts looking very serious and angry at Justin. His thin eyebrows squinting. Forming the shape of a double you (W). his wavy hair slicked back now seemed to get frayed.
Andrew: "hehehe….Hahahaha … I know. You don't like it when your not in control. that's why you would have stooped to such trickery… fine for one of the only times in my life… I give up! You win!" Andrew, looking disappointed, looks up at Dark Blade… "sorry pal. I wasn't able to use you to your fullest. I'm sorry…" duel disc now deactivating, Andrews left arm falls, the holograms with it. Dark Blade showing some sort of sadness from the almost faceless helm.
Craig: "you cant do this there has to be another way! You can't just give up, Riken depends on you!" for the first time, the others feel a sudden urge to take Netsu out. Hopefully saving their friend in the process.
???: "now, now. don't go getting all excited. I have to say my champion. You used quite horrible means of capturing one of them." a shadow like form of a, well If you could call him a person, human shape appears behind Netsu Yagato. "what have I told you about treating your guests like that?" one of the only two things recognizable in the darkness of that form changes. the teeth, as we could see, changed into a grin. And the eyes seemed to stay the same. As if no emotion were to be projected to them in the least. "well, here's the problem I'm facing right now. Since Andrew was about to win, and the oh so proud king tricked him into forfeiting, how's about this…" the shadow like representation of an arm lifts up as to grasp at his chin. "we could work out some sort of trade. Or you could play all or nothing… but I doubt you would like that in the least." his eyes disappearing as if to be covered up by some sort of hair.
Bryan: "what is it you're after?! If you let us have our friend back we may just give you what you want. But knowing the way you guys make deals I wouldn't trust you giving him back alive." making quite the brilliant point, the shadow's head perked up-right.
???: "well how's about this. I could take you all by force. Then that would spare us the trivial game of figuring out how to get more from the other. If you would like I can show up right now!" his teeth now showing a grismal smile.
Just then …
Riken: "or, we could just go home now." Riken was freed. The ropes and gag lay on the ground beside the heavy steel jack. "it helps to have nails guys." as Riken picked up his hands, notably never worked hands, we could see that most of the nails. were jagged and now bleeding. From the friction of the ropes. Walking in an almost backbreaking fashion. Black jacket with white trim, the kind that barely covers up the chest, blowing in the wind. Almost as if it were a cape. Underneath the jacket lie a red, skin tight, muscle shirt. An upside down, white, triangle laying on the middle.
Bryan: "well thanks for your time. Hope to never see you again." Walking casually to the two d-wheels, he decides to take a look back. To see a now cowering Netsu. "hey Andrew I thought that he was confident. Why would he be cowering?"
Andrew: "I think he knows that even though his skills are impressive, he knows he has no chance of beating me. without trickery of course. Must not have drew into a wicked god that time. Oh well. Maybe he will have better luck with his next group of…" an explosion, of what seems like the darkness of space itself, cuts off his words. A crushing force seeming to envelope the whole area around them.
???: "Don't you think you will get away that easy. You want me you got me. Now here I am!" as the whipping spiral of dark energy dissipates, his true form is revealed. Blue hair. Bangs in a (M) fashion hanging over his glasses. The rest of his hair short. Stance in that of a demon. Bent. Skin like that of leather. Dark grey, not a shadow falls upon him. Like he isn't really there. Long red overcoat, and sandals. Revealing long curved toe nails. Yellow. Grotesque. "my name is Nilved. So very nice to meet you." somehow the group, not believing it was him ignored his appearance and kept walking towards the d-wheels, except for Riken.
Riken: "Geves what happened to you?! What has he done!?" for the first time the group sees that Riken actually has tears in his eyes, and stops to see what the camotion is all about. "You BASTARD I will get you for this! I swear on my life!" the group now realizing that he resemblese riken's butler..
Nilved: "what seems to be the matter? don't you like me any more Riken?" Showing a row of twisted teeth, he grins In the most awful of ways. Bearing the whole inner lining of gums. Pulsating with what we could call puss.
Riken: "you change him back now or so help me I'll…" a grinding sound is heard radiating out of Riken's mouth. teeth bearing the strain of his rage.
Netsu: "You will do nothing. My master will crush you!" taking a few steps towards Riken, Nilved throws his hand up as if to halt Netsu from taking any steps further, which seemed towork.
Nilved: "what makes you think I didn't betray you from the start?" bearing two rows of crooked teeth, Nilved reveals a wretched smile.
Bryan: "how do we know that you haven't hypnotized him or anything?" a well placed point.
Nilved: "Don't you think if I was able to do that I would have already taken over one of your friends instead?" Nilved now giving Bryan a snarled expression. As if Bryan had stuck a nerve.
Riken: "You bastard…if you hurt my comrades, I will stop at nothing to destroy you!" knowing the only way to get out of here, Riken raises his duel disc… "well?!? This is what you wanted right?"
Nilved "to reply to your first statement… no I want your friends alive. And two… I'm glad I get smart prey that catches on fast." at this, he gives out a fient chuckle.
Riken: "enough of your senselessness. Duel!" Nilved raises his duel disc. "Draw! I summon monk fighter (3/rock/1300atk/1000def/earth) set two cards face down and end turn."
Meanwhile, Netsu starts walking towards Bryan. The very same look of aggression that he had gave Riken.
Bryan: "what? You still mad at me for saving my friends? Well I couldn't possibly stop Justin, Andrew, and Craig from taking you out." as all four raises their duel discs into their assumed positions, Netsu stops dead in his tracks. "what's the matter there ole fearless king?"
Netsu: "I'll leave all of you to master…" though still in the defensive stance, Netsu's duel disc deactivates, as he focuses on Nilved.
Nilved now taking his turn: "Draw… heh! Now I activate the spell card foolish burial. I send treeborn frog to the graveyard. Next I summon twin headed behemoth (3/dragon/1500atk/1200def/wind) in attack mode. Attack!"" as the arms reached out, heads attached, both of them opening their mouth to show red and a blue tongue, which fires out flames in their corresponding colors.
Riken: "not gonna work. go rising energy!" the, what could be seen, back of the card, flipped up to reveal a trap depicting monk fighter getting pumped up. Bent over in an angry fashion, the faded brown gi lifting up from what seams like some kind of wind. "By discarding one card in my hand, my monk gets a 1500 attack point increase. I discard shield warrior. That puts him at a whopping 2800! well if it only be for the turn, but that leaves you open for an attack. Now go monk! Slay that beast." the monk, veins now bulging out of his body, chops the twin headed monster in two. One of the heads lay on the field. "I know it will regenerate half of it at the end phase."
Nilved: "well, it's just about that time. I set one card face down, activate card of safe return, and end my turn. now that my dragon is special summoned back in defense mode, I get to draw one card. take your move." the grey complexion of his face seeming to grow darker, Nilved crosses his arm and duel disc arm, as if growing impatient.
Riken: "Draw! now I sacrifice my monk fighter. watch as the years of experience gather. Special summon, Master Monk! (5/1900atk/1000def/earth) now with him on the field, i can attack twice in the same turn! Go Master Monk, finish off the monster from your past!" the long, grey haired, monk, tattered clothes whipping as he ran, crushes the remains of the beast with falling kick from the sky. "Now Master Monk, attack him directly!" the monk still air born twirled and back kicked the grey skinned, remains of a butler, in the side. Nilved grabbed at the monks foot and punched him back at Riken. "What?!?"
Nilved: 800, Riken: 4000
Nilved: "that was the power of my attack and receive!" the card flipping up to reveal two people in armor clashing swords. at this time Master Monk slams into Riken dealing 700 damage. "now if you would hurry up, I may be able to take my turn..." patience leaving, his body now in a stance, arms crossed, and disappointed.
Bryan: "I thought as a butler that you would be used to waiting on people by now..." saying this, really got on Netsu's nerves. He threw his arm to the side as if to make a dash towards the four.
Nilved: "I said that I will deal with them. Or do you not believe in my abilities?" Now turning his attention back towards Riken. "Sigh... what is a leader supposed to do. not enough loyal pawns to do the work. So very tedious. Oh well... once I have you as my servant, we'll be one happy family again."
Riken: "you are not the same man I once new. Geves! I will stop at nothing. I am going to save you. NO MATTER WHAT!!!" as this is said, there are three shining spheres, about the size of a pinhead, falling from Riken's eyes. As an Indication of the grief Riken was in, Riken shuddered. "you will not get away with this… I'll… I'll…" getting cut off by Nilved once again.
Nilved: "I do wish you would let go of this sentimental crap… would you please end your turn. By the time this duel ends all of your friends will have died of boredom." Saying this seemed to make Riken lose hope, as seen by him lowering both of his hands. "its about time." Nilved rolled his head around, cracking his neck. "Draw… hm. I think I'll take this duel else where. Come along now Riken." With this the two of them disappeared into the same dark twisting aura that gave rise to Nilved.
Justin: "what the hell?!?" this started the chain of the little group of 4 saying "what the's?".
Netsu: "well, I guess ill take my leave here. Goodbye twerps!" Netsu turns his back to the group. A grin stretching from one side to the other.
Craig: "the hell you are!" as he runs towards Netsu the others try to stop him from leaving, Bryan, the closest to him, grabbed his jacket. This also led to Andrew grabbing Bryan's arm, Justin grabbing onto the, now air born, Andrew's foot.
As the last person, Justin, attacked himself to the, now, chain of people the five of them disappeared into a plume of smoke.
