Chapter 4: David and Goliath

00000

When I first began dueling, I found that certain tribes of monsters were usually only used by certain people. Women would tend to use the Harpies or Amazoness while guys liked the Dark World fiends, but right now I'm watching with one duelist using a group of monsters that have received quite a bad reputation.

I just hope the duelists doenst match the monsters.

00000

After her duel with Kyosuke, Bethany and Tara decided to walk through the forest, in hopes of finding more duels on the other side.

As they continued to walk, Bethany told Tara about the duelists she had seen on the bus.

"Wow, so there are two top champions here on the island trying to win the whole thing" remarked Tara.

"Yeah, and who knows, there might be more here that we haven't seen," added Bethany, "hey, what other kinds of decks do you think we'll have to face here?"

Tara thought for a moment, "well, with three-hundred duelists here, I'm guessing they'll be almost every kind of deck imaginable here."

After a few more seconds of walking, Bethany and Tara looked forward to see a set of trees the opened into a small clearing that Tara suspected was in the middle of the forest.

As the two made their way into the clearing they came upon two men, standing inside the middle of the clearing, both with activated duel disks on.

The first man was around twenty years old and wore a black, leather jacket and tattered jeans with seven piercing in each ear.

The second man looked in his mid-teens and wore a black long-sleeve shirt with black pants and black boots.

"Hey kid!" shouted the man in the leather jacket, "you should have just kept your mouth shut, but now I'll have to send you back to your home crying!"

The younger kid simply shrugged his shoulders as he placed his deck in the slot.

"The name's not kid, it's Tim, Tim Skyler."

"Yeah, whatever, you can just call me Bomber!" said the biker as he loaded his deck as well.

Tyler: 8,000 LP

Bomber: 8,000 LP

"You might not be afraid of me, but I'll bet your wet your pants at the site of my deckmaster, come on out Black Tyranno!"

A loud roar could be heard as the giant, black dinosaur stomped out from the trees, causing Tara and Bethany to let out a small yelp.

Tyler continued to look on in boredom before patting the front of his pants.

"Well, wadya know, still dry" he mocked as he pulled a card out from his deck, "I guess it's time for my deckmaster to show himself, or should I say themselves. Show yourselves Dark Scorpion Burglars!"

Placing the card in the slot, it only took a moment until five blurs ran past Bomber and stopped behind Tyler.

The first figure was a muscled man that wore a tight tank shirt and tank with a eye patch over one eye and a pair of guns strapped to his belt. The second figure was a younger man wearing the same kind of outfit with glasses and yellow hair, carrying a knife. The third figure seemed to be the only female in the group, wearing a black top and red pants with a whip coiled on her belt. The forth figure was a young boy wearing the same outfit with yellow hair and a large mallet strapped to his back. The final figure was the largest of the all, easily towering over the rest of the group, with muscles bulging and a large hammer in his hands.

Bomber let out a laugh as he looked at Tyler's Deckmaster. "Heh, your deckmaster…errr…masters might outnumber mine, but mine could devour all of yours in one bite!"

"Whatever" Tyler said as he drew his opening hand, "I hope you don't mind if I take the first move."

Drawing his next card, Tyler placed down a magic card, "first I'll play my Graceful Charity card."

As the angel descended once again, Tyler drew three more cads before handing two of the to the angel before she flew back into the sky.

"Next I'll summon Cliff the Trap Remover in attack mode." Behind him, the bespectacled man looked at the rest of the group before jumping above Tyler and landing in front of him, knife clutched in his hand (1200/1000).

"Finally, I'll play two cards face-down and end my turn."

Bomber drew his first card before letting out a chuckle. "First I think I'll summon my Sabersaurus in attack mode."

A large red triceratops appeared in front of Bomber, raising his head to let out a roar (1900/500).

"And then, I'll special summon my Gilasaurus in attack mode as well!"

Another dinosaur appeared in front of Bomber, this one smaller and looking more like a raptor (1400/400).

"My dino's effect would allow you to summon a monster from your, but since it's so early in the game, I don't think…" Bomber's sentence was cut short when Tyler pulled out a monster card from his graveyard.

"…you'd have one…"

"Looks like you were wrong," Tyler said, placing the card on his disk. Behind him, the largest of the Dark Scorpions tightened his grip on his hammer before walking out and taking his place next to Cliff (1800/1500).

"Normally I'd discard Gorg the Strong in order to bring him back myself, but looks like I should thank you for helping me out."

Bomber became visually angry at Tyler's words before gaining his composure, "like it matters, my dinosaurs are still way more stronger then your two thieves. Now my Sabersaurus, attack his strongman with your tri-horn trample!"

The dinosaur let out another roar before it began to run at Gorg at top speed.

Tyler only continued to smile as he pressed a button on his disk and his facedown card lifted up.

"I activate Mask of Weakness, causing your dino to lose 700 attack points!"

From his trap card, a large mask flew out of it and attached itself onto the Sabersaurus. As the dinosaur tried to shake the mask from his face, Gorg raised his hammer and brought it down on the dino's head causing him to shatter.

"No way!" yelled Bomber.

"Yeah way, and now that Gorg has damaged your lifepoints, his ability kicks in, and I think I'll use it to spin your other dino to the top of your deck."

Bomber could only watch as Gorg made his way over to his side of the field and grabbed hold of his Gilasaurus's neck. Even as the dinosaur tried to free himself from the grip, Gorg held strong until he lifted the dinosaur off the ground and threw him out off of the field.

"You might think this your little abilities saved you, but this was only the first round" remarked Bomber as he placed one facedown card on the field, "I'll end my turn with that."

Tyler: 8,000 LP

Bomber: 7,400 LP

"Hey" whispered Bethany to Tara, "I thought only thugs and thieves used the Dark Scorpions nowadays."

Tara shook her head before leaning over to Bethany, "even though they're weak, they're effects are pretty good, and I heard that Claremont added in a few more Dark Scorpion cards in the latest set."

00000

Drawing his card, Tyler placed another card on his disk, "I play Pot of Greed."

As the smiling green pot appeared in front of Tyler, he drew his two cards before smiling at the last one.

"Hey Bomber," Tyler yelled, making the older man look at him, "exactly how much do you know about the Dark Scorpions?"

Bomber let out a laugh, "why would I spend my time learning about some third-rate group of pickpockets?"

This time it was Tyler who grew angry at his opponents comment, "for your information, the Dark Scorpions weren't some "group of third-rate pickpockets." In fact, they were like the Robin Hoods of Ancient Egypt. They would steal from those whose used their money and power to make the less fortunate's lives more miserable and give to those who couldn't help themselves."

"And the thing that separted them from other groups at the time was their willingness to accept anyone into their ranks. Granted, many of them would stay in their base and guard it from intruders, a few actually joined them a some missions, that is until one night, when the Dark Scorpions were ambushed by one of their past target's guard fleet. In that one night, many of the lesser members of the Dark Scorpions were caught and hauled away to jail, but Don Zaloog promised to free them all from their prison, and that day is today!"

Placing his card on the disk, a magic card appeared baring the image of Don Zaloog standing in front of a prison wall with a large hole placed in it.

"I play Jailbreak, and to activate it, I only need for either Don Zaloog or two other members of the Dark Scorpion gang to be on the field, and now that it's on the field, I can summon some of the Dark Scorpions that have been locked away, and I'll start out by summoning Dark Scorpion- Ivara the Prophetess!"

Next to Gorg, a middle-aged woman appeared on the field. Wearing a tight, black top and long, red skirt, her black hair was held back with a white ribbon, but the thing that stood out most about her was the fact that her eyes were hidden by numerous straps of cloth that completely covered both eyes (1300/400).

"I'll end my turn with that" said Tyler.

"Alright, and my turn begins!" yelled Bomber.

"Yep, and know Ivara's effect activates!" interrupted Tyler, pointing to Ivara.

Raising her hands out in front of her, Ivara body began to glow.

"What's going on with her?" asked a confused Bomber.

"Ivara was both a prophet and a member of the Dark Scorpions." answered Tyler, "she joined them after she foresaw the devastation that the upper-class would cause for those less fortunate. After joining their group, she became a valuable asset for them, using her abilities to warn the group whenever danger was around. But on the night of the raid on the Dark Scorpions, Ivara had developed a terrible sickness, making her unable to warn the rest of the group, but know that she's out of jail, she can use her ability once again to help her team!"

"And here's how it works" began Tyler, "at the start of each of your turns, I call out one type of monster, and if the first monster you summon is of that type, then each of my Dark Scorpion monsters gains 500 attack points for that turn, and judging from your deck, I think I'll guess dinosaur."

Bomber grunted as he placed a card on the disk and a large, green dinosaur appeared, his body covered with red scales (1200/2000).

Ivara's glow began to become stronger as Cliff and Gorg began to glow as well. (1200/1000) - (1700/1000), (1800/1500) - (2300/1500), (1300/400) - (1800/400)

"And then I'll special summon my Gilasaurus as well," Bomber said, as his raptor took the field again (1400/400), "do you have another monster you can summon?"

Tyler shook his head, as Bomber continued his turn, "and then I'll place one card facedown and hand it over to you."

As Tyler drew his next card all three of his monsters regained their normal stats.

"I don't understand why he's place both of those monsters in attack position. Maybe he has some sort of power-up in his hand that he was going to use. If that's true, I'd better take them both out this turn."

"Now Gorg, attack the dinosaur on the left!" Gorg raised his hammer and ran over to attack the dinosaur, but as soon as he raised his hammer to attack, the dinosaur raised his tail to defend, causing Gorg to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"Heh, looks like to underestimated the strength on my Black Stego. If he's attacked at any time, he can be placed in defense mode and catch his attacker off guard."

Tyler glared at his opponent as Gorg made his way back over to his side of the field, "I'll put my other two monsters into defense mode and end my turn."

Tyler: 7,800 LP

Bomber: 7,400 LP

As Ivara and Cliff crouched down and held their arms up in defense, Bomber drew his next card.

"Don't forget, Ivara's still on the field, and I'll use her effect once again and guess dinosaur!" yelled Tyler, as his monster began to glow once again.

"Like it'll make any difference, I'll play my own Graceful Charity!" Bomber shouted as the angel descended on his side of the field.

"And now, I'll use my Graceful Charity just like you were going to, only my monsters will actually have some power to them, but first, I'll sacrifice both of the monsters on my side of the field to summon my Super Conductor Tyranno!"

A loud roar pierced the forest air, causing Bethany and Tara to jump in fright as even Tyler's eyes opened in surprise. A large dinosaur appeared in front of Bomber, half of his body covered in metal plating, his height towered over the forest (3300/1400).

"And then I'll activate my facedown card, Fossil Excavation!"

Bomber's trap card rose up, revealing the image of four creatures hard at work digging up an area.

"All I have to do is discard one card, and then I get to revive a monster from my graveyard, such as my Ultimate Tyranno!"

Beside Bomber's first monster, the ground began to crack, until finally it burst open and a large T-Rex, almost as big as the Super Conductor Tyranno rose out form the ground (3000/2200).

"Of course, thanks to this trap card, my Ultimate Tyranno loses his ability to attack all of your monsters, but my deckmaster's ability will more then make up for it! Now my Super Tyranno, attack his Gorg the Strong with Jurassic Claw!"

The half-metal dinosaur let out a roar before raising his claw and bringing it down on Gorg, shattering him on impact.

"And now Ultimate Tyranno, attack that woman with your Seismic Crunch!"

This time, the Ultimate Tyranno made his way over to Tyler's side of the field, and in one swift movement, brought his head down and caught Ivara in it's jaw before she could scream.

00000

From the sidelines, Bethany and Tara looked as if they were going to be sick, until Tara noticed that Bomber's last attack caused Tyler's lifepoint counter to go down.

"Hey, his monster was in defense, that shouldn't have cost him anything!" she shouted.

"Hehe, normally you'd be right, but my deckmaster's ability is known as "Survival of the Fittest", and with it all dinosaur monsters I own get a trampling effect!"

Tyler's eyes opened once again in surprise as Cliff reared back in fear. "Don't worry" Tyler said to comfort his remaining monster.

"I'll end my turn with that" Bomber said, his voice filled with pride.

Tyler: 4,200 LP

Bomber: 7,400 LP

Drawing his next card, Tyler looked at it as he began to formulate a plan. "I'll summon Dark Scorpion- Chick the Yellow in attack mode."

Behind him, the shortest member of the group began to jump up and down before making his way in front of Tyler.

Bomber began to laugh, "what's that little kid going to do to my dinosaurs? I mean, other then provide them with a little snack!"

Tyler ignored the comment as he placed his next card down, "and then I'll play Secret Pass to the Treasure, allowing Chick to attack you directly!"

A treasure map appeared in Chick's hands, and after taking a few second to read over it, he took his mallet in his hands before disappearing from sight.

"Hey, where'd that little shrimp go?" asked Bomber. A moment later, Chick reappeared behind him, slamming his mallet into Bomber's side, causing his to fall in pain.

"You…little…" Bomber choked out, as he gasped for air.

"And since he damaged your lifepoints, I get to spin your Super Conductor Tyranno back to the top of your deck!"

Bomber's dinosaur let out a roar as it disappeared from the field.

"So what! You still have my other dino to deal with!" shouted Bomber as he finally stood up again.

"Not for long" replied Tyler, "I play Giant Trunade to remove that trap card off the field!"

A large storm began to pick up on the filed, as both Bomber and Tyler's flew off the field and into each other hands. As the winds died down, Bomber's other dinosaur began to roar as he shattered.

"You punk!!" shouted Bomber, "you'll pay for that!"

"Yeah yeah, like I care, I'll end my turn by replaying my Jailbreak card and resetting my other card facedown."

Tyler: 4,200 LP

Bomber: 6,400 LP

An extremely angry Bomber drew his next card, knowing already what it was.

"You know kid," said Bomber, pointing his finger at Tyler, "you're the first kid I've dueled that been able to take out my biggest dinosaurs, it shows you got guts, but I'm still going to clean up in this duel and send you packing!"

Tyler scoffed at the remark as he waited for Bomber to continue his turn.

"I'll just replay these two cards face-down, and I know you already know what once of them is, so you'd better be ready for it!" warned Bomber as the two cards appeared in front of him,

Before Tyler could even draw his next card, Bomber had already raised his Fossil Excavation card once again, and after discarding another card, the ground began to shake and crack, but this time it was his Super Conductor Tyranno that burst through the ground.

"Hehe, this card makes bringing out my strongest monsters a piece of cake." said Bomber, "I just have to discard them with the same card, and it brings them right back!"

Tyler drew his next card before giving it an odd look.

"Next I'll summon Don Zaloog's main lady to the field, Dark Scorpion- Meanae The Thorn!"

Behind him, Meanae looked over at Don Zaloog and, after brushing his arm with her hand, stepped up beside Chick, taking her whip off of her belt and unraveling it.

"Then I'll play Monster Reborn to bring Gorg back to the field."

The shining ahnk appeared on the field as Gorg walked through it and rejoined the rest of his team.

"And finally, I place one card face-down, and since that's all the cards in my hand, I'll end my turn."

Drawing his next card, Bomber let out a large laugh.

"Care to let me in on the joke?" asked a somewhat annoyed Tyler.

"Yeah!" cried Bomber, trying to hold back his laughter, "you're the joke here! With the card I just drew, your fate's sealed!"

"First off though, I'll activate my face-down card!"

Pressing the button on his disk, his trap face raised up, revealing the image of a Prehistoric plane being destroyed by meteors.

"This is my Survival Instinct trap card and with it, I can remove any number of dinosaurs from my graveyard, and for each one I gain 400 lifepoints!" yelled Bomber.

All around him, small meteors began to descend from the sky, remarkably enough avoiding Bomber and his monsters. As the meteor shower died down, ghost-like specters rose out from the ground and flew into Bombers duel disk.

"And just so you know, every time I had to discard a card, it was also a dinosaur monster!" added Bomber.

Tyler: 4,200 LP

Bomber: 8,800 LP

"And now, I'll summon the strongest monster in my deck! Get ready to meet Tyranno Infinity!"

The air in front of Bomber began to swirl as Bomber placed the card down. Suddenly, the loudest roar yet could be heard as a dinosaur's head poked itself out of the swirling void. A few moments later, the void opened up wide enough, so that the largest T-Rex of them all stomped it way through (?/0000).

"And his attack points are enough to 1000 times the number of dinosaurs I've removed from play, and thanks to my trap card, that seven monsters in all!"

The large dino let out another roar as his attack points shot through the roof (?/0000) - (7000/0000).

"Oh my god" gasped Tara, staring at the overgrown beast, "in just one move, that guy pumped up his lifepoints and summoned out a monster that's stronger then the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon! I don't see how that kid can win now."

Bethany could only nod in agreement.

00000

"And finally, I've move my deckmaster to the field!" said Bomber, as the dinosaur behind him stomped up to join the other two (2600/1800).

"Now my dinosaurs, time to eat!" cried Bomber, pointing at Tyler's monsters.

As each of the dinosaurs let out a roar, they began stomping over to Tyler's side of the field, only to each hit an invisible barrier and be repelled back to their side.

"My Negate Attack card stopped your attack" said Tyler as he placed the trap card in the graveyard.

"Whatever, like one turn will help you, any card that could help you now, like Lightening Vortex, would require you to discard some cards, but since your hand is empty, it's all over for you. I'll end my turn and let you try to pull out a miracle." Bomber said.

Drawing his next card, Tyler quickly placed it in his disk.

"I'll play Reinforcement of the Army, and take one level four warrior from my deck and add it to my hand." Tyler said as he searched through his deck.

"A lotta good that'll do ya" remarked Bomber.

"Oh, but it will help, because now I'll summon the leader of the Dark Scorpions, Don Zaloog!"

Behind Tyler, the eye-patch wearing man nodded to him, as he made his way to the front, where each of the other members of the gang waited, smiling s their leader came to the field.

"Big deal" scoffed Bomber, "you summoned another Dark Scorpion member, how is he going to help you?"

"Look at my field" answered Tyler, "do you see anything special?"

Bomber looked at Tyler's monster, "you've summoned your deckmaster to the field."

"Close, but not quite" said Tyler, pointing behind him. When Bomber looked back, he saw the images of all five members of the Dark Scorpions, still behind Tyler.

"It's true that I summoned all of the members that make up the Dark Scorpion Burglars, but that's different then summoning the Dark Scorpion Burglars themselves, but now it's time for my deckmaster's ability to take effect! For it to work, I needed Don Zaloog and four other members of the Dark Scorpions on the field, but before it takes effect, I'll activate the face-down card that's been in play since the beginning of the game."

The last face-down card on Tyler's field rose up, revealing each of the Dark Scorpions member in mid-attack.

"I play Dark Scorpion combination, and since each of my Scorpions in on the field, it allows them each to attack your lifepoints directly, of course, you'll only lose 400 points for each attack, but it'll work! Alright guys, go get him!"

The Dark Scorpions each nodded their heads before jumping forward.

Completely avoiding the dinosaurs of the field, Gorg and Cliff each ran forward, smashing their hammers into Bomber, causing him to fall to the ground. Behind him, Cliff came up and jabbed his knife into his back. At the same time, Meanae reared her whip back, snapping it forward on Bomber's back while Don Zaloog took out his pistols and fired a few rounds at Bombers hands.

Tyler: 4,200 LP

Bomber: 6,800 LP

As Bomber lay still for a few moments, Tara and Bethany started at him, waiting for any sign of moment, until he finally began to twitch. Letting out a few grunts, Bomber made his way back to his feet before glaring at Tyler.

"You think that was fun kid?" he snarled, "well just you wait, cause that was nothing!"

"Your right, but now because each of the Dark Scorpions damaged your lifepoints, all of their effects kick in!"

Bomber gulped as each of the Dark Scorpions eyed his field.

"First, Chick is going to spin your deckmaster off the field!"

The Black Tyranno roared as it disappeared from in front of Bomber and reappeared behind him.

"Then Gorg is going to send Tyranno Infinity to the top of your deck."

In a flash, the second dinosaur also disappeared from the field.

"Next, Cliff is going to get rid of that Fossil Excavation card, sending your last dino packing!"

Cliff gave a smile as he threw his knife across the field, hitting the trap card and causing it to shatter along with Bomber's monster.

"Then Meanae is going to grab a card from my deck with the phrase 'Dark Scorpion' in it's title."

Nodding her head, Meanae launched her whip into Tyler's deck, pulling out a card and handing it to Tyler.

"Finally, Don Zaloog is going to send the top two cards from you r deck to your graveyard."

Firing off his two guns at Bomber's deck, Bomber let out a grunt as he sent his Tyranno Infinity and Call of the Haunted to the graveyard.

"And now," began Tyler, "my deckmaster's ability activates! Its called Dark Scorpion Sacrifice, and to use it I need to have Don Zaloog and four other members on the field, but I can send as many of my monsters to the graveyard, and for each I'll subtract their attack points from your lifepoints!"

Each of the Dark Scorpions of Tyler's side of the field began to look at each other, and then as each of then began to glow, and explosion rocked both sides of the field causing Bomber's lifepoints to plummet.

Tyler: 4,200 LP

Bomber: 400 LP

Bomber continued to cough as the smoke cleared, trying to glare at Tyler who stood smirking on the other side of the field.

"You might think that was a good idea, but now look at the field" said Bomber in a fit of both coughing and laughter, "I might only have 400 lifepoints left, but that little stunt left you with no monsters or traps to protect yourself!"

Tyler only continued to smile as he held out the remaining card in his hand.

"That's what you think right now, but you'll change your mind once I play the card Meanae brought to me."

Placing the card in his disk, an image of the Dark Scorpions standing in front of an open jail cell, the bars blown clean off and two guards laying on the floor, appeared in front of him.

"It's called Dark Scorpion Breakout, and it lets me revive five members of the Dark Scorpion from my graveyard!"

A light began to shine on Tyler's side of the field, as the images of Don Zaloog, Gorg, Meanae, Cliff, and Ivara appeared on the field.

"Fortunately for you, this card stops my monsters from attacking this turn, but unfortunately for you, it doesn't stop them from activating my deckmaster's ability!"

Bomber began to step back, trying to find a way to escape as each of Tyler's monsters began to glow.

"Alright my Dark Scorpions, finish the job!" yelled Tyler.

As a second explosion rocked the field, Bomber flew back, hitting his head on a nearby tree and knocking him out.

"Six points, pretty good." Taking a moment to check his disk, Tyler walked over to Bethany and Tara.

"So, are you both okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, we're fine," replied Bethany, "that was an incredible duel! But we were wondering, why run a Dark Scorpion deck?"

Tyler let out a chuckle, "well, I use to run a hand control deck, then a deck devastation deck, and then a field control deck, but a got bored with all of them and wanted to combine all three of them, and the Dark Scorpions seemed to be the best choice."

Tara and Bethany nodded at his explanation before Bethany's face lit-up.

"Oh! By the way, my name's Bethany and her name's Tara."

Tyler extended his hand, which Bethany shook, "and mine's Tyler. Hey, why don't we head out of here and continue this conversation somewhere else before he wakes up" Tyler said, pointing to Bomber.

"By the way." Bethany started, "what did that guy mean when he said you should have minded your own business?"

"Oh that?" replied Tyler, "I caught him trying to take some rare cards from a duelist he beat and I helped the kid run off before he could get ahold of them."

00000

In his study, Claremont sat staring into the fire inside his fireplace as Alabaster reentered the room.

"Sir, as of five minutes ago, over half of the duelists have been eliminated." he said, as Claremont turned to face him.

"Anything else?" he asked.

"Well, you see" began Alabaster, "we received word of a duelists that was stealing cards from other duelists, we're dispatching guards right now to escort him off of the island."

"Now now" started Claremont, getting up from his chair, "let's not be too hasty. Tell your guards just to watch him closely, but do not bother him right now."

Alabaster gave Claremont a look of disbelief before nodding his head and leaving the room once again.

As the room grew quiet, Claremont began to shake a little before falling unconscious into his chair.

From the shadows, a figure emerged. Dressed in a black tuxedo, he wore a black top hat on his head and a white mask that completely covered his face.

Taking a moment to look at Claremont's body, he pulled a cell phone from his pocket and pressed one of the speed-dial buttons.

"That was close," he said to the person on the phone, "I know you wanted to keep that dino-duelist on the island, but I don't see why he's that important."

"Dear Puppet Master" came a sweet, feminine voice from the phone, "he's a simple man that can be easily manipulated when we need him later. You of all people should know about the joys of manipulating people."

"Yes, I understand" replied the Puppet Master.

"Good. For know I want you to continue controlling that Claremont man and make sure that only the best make it to the top. Send out those eliminators that were hired to take out some of the duelists, and if needed, I have some 'eliminators' of my own that I can send out."

"Understood" answered the Puppet Master, as he shut his phone and made his way back into the corner.
