Chapter 9- The Duels Begin!- Chazz vs. Flynn

"So who should we have duel first?" Shepherd asked when they arrived at the duel arena.

"Let's save our top duelists for last." Jacobs suggested. "But let's go with second bests from there. My second best is Mr. Flynn Tager."

"So let's have him and Chazz Princeton duel, then!" Shepherd said.

"Very well." Flynn said, and shoved his deck into the slot in his duel disk. He looked daggers at Chazz. It was clear that he didn't like him at all.

"Heh, I won't even break a sweat here." Chazz said as they took their places.

"I doubt that. You look like the kind of person who would sweat very easily." Flynn said.

"Let's duel!"

Chazz: 4000 Flynn: 4000

"I'll go first!" said Chazz. "I play my Graceful Charity spell card! With it, I-"

"I was chosen as one of the best duelists from my school, I think I know what it does." Flynn said, almost mockingly. All the students from the "other" academy started laughing.

"Um, okay…" said Chazz, as he drew three cards and discarded two. "Oh, and I think I'll toss my Ojamagic spell card and Frontline Base spell card, so I'll move the three Ojamas to my hand with Ojamagic. Then, I'll play Polymerization to fuse all the Ojamas to form Ojama King! (Light/Beast/Fusion/Effect, 0/3000). I'll prevent you from using two of your monster card zones and set a card face down. That's all."

"Fine. I draw-"

"And I play Ojama Trio! Now the rest of your monster card zones are blocked by Ojama tokens!"

"Oh well. Guess I'll just set a card face-down and end my turn."

"Wow, that sucks. First turn and all his monster card zones are blocked." Drake said.

"Heh. I told you he was no match for me." Chazz said. "Now, I'll summon X-Head Cannon (Light/Machine, 1800/1000) in Attack Mode. Then, I play Ojamuscle! Now, all those Ojama Tokens are destroyed, and my Ojama King gains 1000 attack points for each one, giving him 3000! And because those were Ojama Tokens-"

"I take three hundred for each one that was destroyed. I know." Flynn said.

Chazz: 4000 Flynn: 3100

"And now that you're wide open, X-head Cannon will attack directly!"

Chazz: 4000

Flynn: 1300

"And Ojama King will finish you off!"

"Not quite! I activate my Draining Shield Trap Card. Now, King's Attack is negated and I gain life points equal to his attack points."

Chazz: 4000

Flynn: 4300

"Grr… I'm done." Chazz said.

"So Flynn survives what should have been death!" Keith said.

"And not only that." Matt said. "Now that those Oja tokens are gone, he has monster zones open, so he can play monsters again. That is the critical part of it. If Chazz had almost defeated but maintained that Ojama Lock, then it would have been very difficult to mount any kind of resistance for another turn. Now, he can summon some kind of monster."

"And now…" Said Flynn. "It's my turn. So, I'll draw… then set a monster in defense mode. The simple addition of a face-down card will end my turn."

"Alright then…" Chazz drew his card. "I summon my Y-Dragon Head (Light/Machine/Union, 1500/1600) in Attack mode! Then, I'll attack your monster with X-Head Cannon!"

"Negate Attack! Now you can't attack."

"I'll end my turn, then. But I assure you, your next turn will be your last." Chazz said.

"I doubt it." Flynn drew his card. "I'll place another monster face-down and set another card. That's all."

"Fine then. It won't hold you over, because I'm going to summon Z-Metal Tank! Then I'll remove X,Y, and Z to summon my XYZ-Dragon Cannon (Light/Machine/Fusion/Effect, 2800/2600) in attack mode!!! Now, I'll use Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face-down!"

"Ha! You fool! I activate it- JUDGEMENT OF ANUBIS! Since you tried to destroy my face-down, I can activate this card, which now negates and destroys the card you tried to use to destroy my face-downs. So Dragon Cannon is gone, and thanks to the side effect of Curse, I can destroy another monster on your side of the field and do damage to your life points equal to his attack points."

"But he had 3000!" Chazz said.

Chazz: 1000

Flynn: 4300

"Yes, that is the beauty of it. Now, it is a simple matter to obliterate you on the next turn."

"That's what you think!" Chazz said. "On my turn, I'll set this card. On your turn, I'll use it to destroy whatever monster you summon!"

"Not quite." Flynn drew his card. "I activate Polymerization, and fuse my face-down Divine Dragon Ragnarok with my face-down Lord of Dragons to summon King Dragun (Dark/Dragon/Fusion, 2400/1200)! Now, whatever targeting card you were going to use is no good!"

"So? You can't take down my Dragon Cannon."

"Ah, but King Dragun's allows me to Special Summon one dragon from my hand per turn. So, I think I'll bring out a Blue-Eyes."

"Crap."

"Got that right. Now, Blue-Eyes, destroy the Cannon!"

Chazz: 800 Flynn: 4300

"And King Dragun, destroy him!"

Chazz: 0

Flynn: 4300

As Flynn ended the duel, there was a series of loud boos as Chazz walked off the duel field.

"Nice one Flynn." Drake said.

"As always." Keith said. "When he had you in that Oja Lock, I thought you had had it."

"He got too greedy with his King. That's what killed him." Flynn said.

Shepherd stepped up onto the raised dueling platform. "And with that, the first duel is over! And so the score is 1-0, in favor of the 'other' academy! The next duel will be… Julie Daran versus Alexis Rhodes!"
