Battle Royale Part Two

Disclaimer: Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.

Last time, on Cyber Battles, Bastion's and Jordan's tag duel against the Northern Clan leader and his brother began with a series of back and forth offensive and defensive strategies. Bastion advised Jordan not to rush with the duel, but the young Rhodes shrugged him off and summoned one of his better monsters.

Their own strategies seemed to work for awhile...until Azuryu summoned one of the most famous and most powerful beasts in all of Duel Monster: the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Can the two duelists overcome this obstacle, or will they be dragon fodder?

------------------------------------------------------------------

A: 3900
S: 2200
B: 1100
J: 3000

Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)
Kaiser Glider (2400/2200)

Kaiser Sea Horse (1700/1650)

Stronghold the Moving Fortress (3000/2000)
Drillago (1600/1100)

Bastion and Jordan stared at the famous dragon, the legendary beast that Seto Kaiba had in his deck. It was this monster that led Kaiba to many victories in his dueling career, and now, they were going against one of them! Lucky for them, Jordan's Swords of Revealing Light kept it at bay...

Azuryu held up the last card in his hand, "I play the Spell card Heavy Storm! This card destroys all Spell and Trap cards on the field, including the Moving Fortress and the Swords!"

Jordan's powerful monster, as well as the one thing keeping their Life Points safe, were blown away by a strong wind. Stronghold disappeared, leaving Jordan's Gadget monsters on the field.

Green Gadget (1400/600)
Red Gadget (1300/1500)
Yellow Gadget (1200/1200)

"Kaiser Glider, destroy Red Gadget!"

The golden dragon opened it's mouth and let loose a torrent of red-hot flame, covering the gadget monster completely with fire. Jordan watched as his machine monster melted before his eyes.

A: 3900
S: 2200
B: 1100
J: 1900

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Azuryu pointed to Yellow Gadget, "Attack with White Lightning!"

Jordan covered his head as the legendary dragon's signature attack crashed into his other gadget, severely lowering his Life Points.

A: 3900
S: 2200
B: 1100
J: 100

"I end my turn, humans,"

Bastion looked at Jordan, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Jordan muttered, lowering his arms, "Just frickin' peachy! We gotta take down that dragon, Bastion...any ideas?"

"One, but I don't have every card I need," Bastion looked at his deck, But with the way I've made my Earth deck, and the way I've been dueling, that card should be coming up now, statistically speaking...

Bastion drew his card and a smile crossed his face, "Time to turn things around, my friend! First, I place one card facedown on the field, and then I shall summon the monster that will show your dragon what superiority is!"

Jordan turned and stared at him, "What in the world are you talking about?! What monster could you possibly have that can take down a Blue-Eyes?"

"Watch and learn, Jordan!" Bastion held up three cards, "I send to the Graveyard, from my hand, Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400/1700), Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600), and Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1500/1800) in order to summon their combined form: Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500/3850) in attack mode!"

An impressive, multi-colored monster was soon created from flying metallic parts that soared through the air and assembled itself in front of Bastion. Jordan, their friends, even the brothers were surprised by the monster's appearance.

-----

"Holy crap!" Christina's jaw dropped, "That can't be the same monster that he...,"

Siho nodded, "It is!"

Jaden looked at them, confused, "What's up with you two?"

Chazz rolled his eyes, "Slacker...," he shook his head, "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior is one of the signature monsters from Yugi Motou's deck!"

"What?!" Jaden snapped his head back to the duel, "Are you serious?!"

Alexis sighed, "Did you even go to class last year, Jaden?"

"Of course! Best z's I ever caught were in the classroom!"

Christina nudged Siho in the chest, "...and you say I'm dense!"

"There are times, Chrissy,"

Alexis sighed again and looked at the monster, "I didn't know Bastion even had those other magnet monsters in his deck. I thought those Sigma monsters we saw in his duel against Tanya were the only ones in his earth deck, but apparently, there's more to Bastion's deck," she shook her head in amazement, "A card strong enough to take down the Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Man, Jordy must be green with envy right now!"

"Or red with anger," Chazz pointed to Alexis' cousin, who was glaring at the monster, "He looks really pissed off, Lexi,"

-----

Indeed, Jordan was angry. He was angry at the fact that not only did Bastion had a monster that could take out the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and he didn't tell him, not one single hint! Bastion, however, was too involved with his strategy to even notice Jordan's mood.

"Valkyrion, destroy the Blue-Eyes White Dragon now!" the analytic duelist ordered.

Everyone watched in amazement as the familiar Magnet Warrior struck and blew Blue-Eyes off the field. Azuryu grunted and covered his eyes as his monster exploded in a blinding flash of light.

A: 3400
S: 2200
B: 1100
J: 100

"Before I end my turn...I shall sacrifice my Valkyrion in order to Special Summon, from my Graveyard, all three Magnet Warriors. So, come back to me, Alpha, Gamma, and Beta!" he ordered, his larger Magnet Warrior disappearing and splitting into three separate glowing forms, "Now, I end my turn,"

-----

"WAY TO GO, BASTION!" Christina shouted, clapping rapidly, "RIGHT ON!"

Alexis just stared in amazement, "He actually took down a Blue Eyes!" she shook her head, "This reminds me a bit of your duel with Dimitri when he stole Yugi's deck last year," she said, turning to Jaden, who was too preoccupied cheering his friend on, "Hey!"

Chazz scoffed, "Just luck," he turned away, "I could take out two of those things!"

Alexis just rolled her eyes and turned back to the duel, "Great job, guys! Jordy, take 'em down!"

-----

Shiryu drew his card and looked at Bastion's monsters, then at Jordan's line of defense. The dragon only had one card in his hand and with a sigh, he slipped it into his disk, "I place one card facedown and I switch my Sea Horse into defense mode," he murmured, his monster curling up behind it's fins, "I end my turn,"

"Brother, what are you doing?!" Azuryu barked at him, pointing at Jordan's monsters, "Why didn't you finish him off?!"

"Because, I like the thrill...," Shiryu glanced at him, "...and don't tell me how to duel, brother!"

While the two of them bickered, Jordan drew his card and looked at the others, They're all topdecking now, since they no longer have any cards in their hands...this could work to be an advantage to me, but I dunno...all I do know is that I'm running out of points, and we gotta take them out before a new Blue-Eyes comes to the field!

"C'mon, Jordy!" Alexis called from behind him, "You can do it! Show them what Rhodes are made of!"

Oh, believe me, Alexis, I'm about to! Jordan grinned, "I place one card facedown, and then I play my Polymerization!" he held up the last two cards from his hand, "I fuse both my Barrel Dragon (2600/2200) and my Blowback Dragon (2300/1200) to summon Gatling Dragon (2600/1200)!"

Jordan's large, metal dragon on spiked wheels appeared between him and Shiryu, the latter looking sincerely impressed by the move.

"Seems like it was a good idea to duel these two, brother," he thought aloud to Azuryu, "They do not have Jaden's reputation, but they do seem to have strong monsters on their side,"

Azuryu snorted, "Just get on with it, human...,"

"With pleasure!" Jordan's grin widened, "I activate my Dragon's special effect! Once, every turn, I can flip a coin and every time it comes up heads, a monster on the field is destroyed!" he explained as a holographic gold coin appeared on the field.

It flipped.

Heads.

It flipped again.

Tails.

It flipped one more time.

Tails.

"Only once, but that's more than enough," Jordan pointed to the side, right towards Kaiser Glider, "Say goodbye!"

Azuryu turned his head as Kaiser Glider was blasted by Gatling Dragon's effect, "Damn you, human!"

"I ain't done yet!" Jordan turned back to Shiryu's monster, "Gatling Dragon, destroy Kaiser Sea Horse with Gatling Gun Burst!"

As soon as the Dragon opened fire, Shiryu pressed a button on his disk, "I activate my facedown Trap card, Enchanted Javelin!" he cried out as a strange spear appeared between him and the blast, "This card increases my Life Points equal to your monsters attack points!"

A: 3400
S: 4800
B: 1100
J: 100

After his Points were increased, Shiryu's spear disappeared and the attack continued, riddling his Sea Horse full of holes, destroying it completely.

Damn! Jordan cursed in his mind, He set me up! He's got more Life Points than he did when he started dueling, all because of that damn Trap...well, at least I'm still able to attack with two more monsters!

"C'mon, Jordy," Alexis called again, "You can still do this!"

"That's right, kid, go!" Siho yelled from the other side.

Jordan nodded, "You're completely defenseless now, pal! Green Gadget and Drillago, attack him directly!"

Both the Gadget and drill covered mechanical monster charged at Shiryu, striking him swift and hard, taking a large chunk of his new amount of Life Points with them.

A: 3400
S: 1800
B: 1100
J: 100

"I end my turn," he turned to his partner, "They're vulnerable, Bastion! Either take 'em out with all three Magnets or Valkyrion, just take 'em out!"

Bastion nodded slightly, "Just be patient, Jordan,"

Azuryu glared at them both, "I'll admit, you two have been formidable...but I'll be damned if we, the Northern Dragon Clan's leaders are beaten by mere human children!" he drew his card, "I summon Luster Dragon (1900/1600) in attack mode!"

Both humans watched as a large, but beautiful dragon covered in glittering sapphires appeared on the field, pawing at the ground.

"Bad way to end a duel," Jordan shook his head, "We so got this in the bag!"

"So you think," Azuryu turned to him, "To win, eliminate the weakest link...Luster Dragon!" he pointed to Jordan, "Destroy that boy's Gadget!"

-----

Christina tugged at her hair as they watched the Luster Dragon reared it's head back, "Oh man...he didn't even get to the first major boss of the game...," she turned away, "I can't watch this!"

Alexis chuckled, "You should, because Jordy's about to pull a fast one,"

"Huh?"

-----

"I activate my Trap card, Draining Shield!" Jordan cried out as the green flames came at him, a see through barrier appeareing around him, "This card negates that attack and increases my Life Points equal to that monster's attack points!" he glanced at Shiryu as the blast hit his shield, his disk racking up the points., "Looks like we have the same instincts,"

A: 3400
S: 1800
B: 1100
J: 2000

Shiryu nodded, smiling, "Indeed...,"

Jordan turned back to a seething Azuryu, "Too bad, boyo!"

Azuryu grit his teeth, "I...I...end my turn,"

Bastion chuckled as he drew his card, "Good...," he looked at the card in his hand, "I summon Magnet Warrior Sigma Minus (1500/1800) in attack mode," he paused as a new metal monster wielding a large, metal club appeared on the field alongside his other Magnet Warriors, "Now, since you attacked my partner, I think I'll return the favor," he pointed at the bare field of Shiryu, "Go, my Magnet Warriors! Full scale assault!"

All together, the four Magnet monsters rushed and gave Shiryu a combined attack that resulted in him flying across the room, his Life Point counter completely wiped clean.

A: 3400
S: 0
B: 1100
J: 2000

"Brother!" Azuryu cried out, watching him fly.

"I end my turn, do it now, Jordan!"

Azuryu snapped his head around to see Jordan draw his card, a wide smile on his face.

"I activate my Dragon's ability once again!" Jordan paused as the holo-coin appeared on the field, "C'mon, baby, gimme one!"

The holo-coin flipped.

Tails

The coin flipped again.

Tails.

Jordan gulped as the coin flipped one last time, Come on...come on!

Everyone watched silently as the coin hit the floor and rolled around for a few moments before settling down on one side.

Heads.

"YES!" Jordan whooped, "Gatling Dragon's effect destroys your Luster Dragon, leaving you wide open! Green Gadget, Drillago, do your thing!"

Once again, the two monsters charged at the enemy, dealing a very large amount of damage to Azuryu's Life Points.

A: 400
S: 0
B: 1100
J: 2000

"Gatling Dragon use Gatling Gun Burst and finish him off!"

Azuryu could only watch in stunned horror as the huge dragon let loose of volley of bullets that pummeled his body armor, sending him flying across the room, just like Bastion's monsters did to Shiryu.

A: 0
S: 0
B: 1100
J: 2000

"Game over!"

-----

Kairi's jaw dropped at the results, "They...they just took out...two Blue-Eyes White Dragons in a duel!"

Kristerr nodded in thought, "Looks like the difficulty setting is right. We wanted tough opponents, but not too tough, otherwise people wouldn't want to play...,"

"That makes sense...," Kairi scratched her head, "Wait a minute. If these guys are Blue-Eyes, some of the strongest monsters in the game, how strong is Lord Revastan?!"

"Well...," Kristerr shrugged, "There's been some tests and various results...but we'll see just how tough he is when they get there. Get some real duelist feedback, and hopefully, it'll help the game out,"

-----

"It seems that Jaden's not the only one that has some strength," Shiryu chuckled, "At least three human children with good enough dueling skills to defeat my brother and I...,"

Azuryu snorted, rubbing his neck, "I just went easy on them, that's the only reason they won,"

Shiryu chuckled again, "Please, do forgive my brother. He's a prideful dragon,"

"With him being modeled after a certain celebrity, I'm not surprised," Alexis muttered under her breath.

Jaden laughed at the comment, "Well, I'm just glad all you guys are okay. That was a sweet duel!"

Bastion nodded, "I rather enjoyed it,"

"I'm glad you did," Shiryu nodded, "I enjoyed it myself. You and your friend are quite skilled. Though...I must say, you two should practice tag-dueling," he sighed with content, then his face turned to one of seriousness, "Are you still going to go to see Lord Revastan, you two barely beat us?"

Jaden nodded, "Of course! Our thing with you guys is pretty much done, so we have to keep going!" he blinked a few times, "Aw man, we forgot about Evan! We gotta go back for him!"

"Uhm...I doubt he's still there...,"

Everyone turned to see Khamille walking towards them.

"Hey, Kham, where you been?" Christina asked her.

"I went to go check and see if we have still daylight and...well...,"

"Well what?" Azuryu rose to his feet, "Is something wrong?"

Khamille opened her mouth to explain, but shook her head, "You guys need to see this for yourselves!"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Kilnorc: Alright, that chapter's done! Long one, eh? I hope I kept everything on the right track, I worked long and hard on this one, so I hope you all enjoyed it! I was gonna put in what Khamille saw...but I figured I'd be slightly evil and leave a cliffy, BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Alright, I had my evil laugh.
