Chapter 2, DUEL!
Announcer: Uh, could we have #25, please? Kiete Minigami?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kiete stood up from the crowd. He made his way to the referee's table and got his pass ready. His face showed bravery, but inside he was the same as everyone else. He was frightened. He reached the referee's table.
Ref: Can I have your pass, please?
Kiete handed him the pass. The referee quickly scans the pass.
Ref: Alright, you are dueling with Doctor Fester.
Kiete walked up the small steps to the ring. Doctor Craw had left the ring and a new man had replaced him. The man had sky-blue eyes and sun-blonde hair. He was wearing a white blazer.
Fester: Alright, let's see what you're made of!
Kiete: Sounds great to me!
They both shuffle their decks and insert them into the deck slot. Their life points increase from 0 to 4000 and they draw 5 cards.
Both: LET'S DUEL!
Fester: We'll flip a coin to see who goes first. I call Heads.
He flips the coin from his hand to the middle of the ring. It was a Tails.
Kiete: I guess I go first! I draw! I'll start off by playing La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp (ATK 1800) in attack position!
The ghastly green form of a genie appears on the field, its ethereal tail drifting back off into the lamp below it. It gives a wicked smile and crosses its arms.
Kiete: Then I'll play 1 card face down! End turn!
Fester: Alright, I draw one card. Then I play one card face down and one card in face down defense position.
The holographic image of the two face down cards appears on the field.
Fester: With that, I'll end my turn.
Kiete: Great. I draw. Awesome! I play Raging Flame Sprite (ATK 100)!
A small red pixie with red magicians clothes on and a wand on fire appeared on the field.
Kiete: Then, I'll play a card face down. Now, my sprite! Attack him directly!
Fester: What? I have a monster!
Kiete: It's my monsters special ability. It can attack life points directly!
The small sprite shot a fairly small blast at the doctor. Fester watches his life points decrease by 100.
Fester: It's only 100 life points lost!
Kiete: For now. My sprite's other effect means it gains 1000 attack every time it attacks you directly!
The Raging Flame Sprite glowed red, with flames appearing over her body. Then it disappeared, leaving it with 1100 attack.
Fester: I'll still destroy it!
Kiete: Now, I'll activate my face down! Swords of Revealing Light!
The small shining swords appeared in front of Fester. His face down flipped face up, revealing Double Coston (DEF 1650).
Kiete: For now, I'll end my turn.
Fester: Alright, I draw! Now, I'll use Double Coston's effect! If I use it for tributing a DARK monster, it counts as 2 tributes! So, Double Coston, make way for Despair From the Dark (ATK 2800)!
The 2 dark balls disappeared, leaving a gravestone there. A large lumbering beast emerged from the gravestone. It was mainly a purple-black and hints of red, with blank yellow eyes.
Fester: Alright, I'll play one card face down and I'll end.
Kiete: Great. I'll draw! Then, I'll play one card face down! Now, Raging Flame Sprite! ATTACK!
The still-small sprite launched a slightly bigger fireball than from before. It struck Fester, reducing his life points to 2800. Fester looked a bit agitated and the sprites attack points rose to 2100.
Kiete: With that, I'll end.
Fester: Alright, I draw. Then, I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Swords of Revealing Light!
The cyclone whirled around the swords, sucking them into the vortex.
Fester: Now, I'll attack your pixie!
The lumbering Despair blew a blast of darkness from its fingers. The Raging Flame Sprite disappeared into the torrent of shadows. When it cleared, the sprite was no longer there. Kiete's life points decreased to 3300.
Fester: Ha, ha! Now I'll end.
Kiete: OK, I draw! I activate my face down! Ultimate Offering! So, we can both pay 500 life points to summon or set an additional monster! So, I play 1 card in face down defense position and pay 500 to tribute my La Jinn the play Enraged Muka Muka (ATK 1200)!
His life points decreased to 2800. A large stone crab appeared on the field. It eyes were burning red and its belly was orange, shining like a fire, with cross-hairs all over it.
Kiete: Its effect automatically activates! Its attack and defense is increased by 400 for every card in my hand! I have 4!
The Muka Muka shone like anything and it grew much larger in size. Its attack points grew to 2800 and its defense rose to 2200!!
Kiete: I'll end my turn.
Fester: Alright, I'll draw. Now, I'll play Reckless Greed! It allows me to draw 2 cards! Then, I skip my next 2 draw phases!
He draws an extra 2 cards.
Fester: OK, Despair! Destroy his face down defense position monster!
The darkness once again swooped in and shattered the face down. It was a Witch of the Black Forest (DEF 1200).
Kiete: Thanks, you activated my Witch's effect! I take Muka Muka out of my deck and add it to my hand! Enraged Muka Muka gains 400 extra attack and defense points! He is now on 3200 attack and 2600 defense!
Fester: Damn! I end my turn.
Kiete: Great, I draw! Now, I play Muka Muka! I have 5 cards, so Muka Muka is on 2100 attack and 1800 defense. Enraged Muka Muka is on 3300 attack and 2600 defense! Now, I play polymerization! I fuse my two Muka Mukas together! This creates KING MUKA MUKA (ATK 1800)!
The two monsters combined into each other, until there was one gigantic rock crab there, with a large crown resting on to of its head.
Kiete: Now, with its effect its attack and defense increases by 500 for every card in my hand!
The gigantic crab king shone and grew even more, reaching the top of the stadium (ATK 3800).
Kiete: Let's do this! King Muka Muka! Attack his Despair!
The enormous crab lifted one of its legs and stabbed it straight through the shadow creature, destroying it instantly. Festers life points decreased to 1800.
Kiete: That'll be all.
Fester: Alright, I'll draw. Then, I'll play 1 card face down and activate Cumpulsory Evacuation Device! I return King Muka Muka to your hand!
The crab disappeared and it re-appeared in his hand.
Kiete: You just activated his effect! Now, I can special summon Enraged Muka Muka from my graveyard!
The familiar crab returned to play. It snapped its jaws at Fester.
Fester: You activated my trap: Torrential Tribute! Your Enraged Muka Muka is destroyed!
A large torrent of blue liquid surged over the field, annihilating his creature.
Fester: Now, I play Master Kyonshee (ATK 1750)!
A zombie in a sensei training suit appeared on the field.
Fester: But he won't be here for long! I pay 500 for Ultimate Offering and tribute him for Vampire Lord (ATK 2000)!
His life points decreased to 1800. The sensei shone and it turned into a vampire with a long cloak on and spiky blue hair.
Fester: Now, I tribute Vampire Lord to special summon VAMPIRE GENESIS (ATK 3000)!
The vampire turned into a huge beast, with demonic wings on it's back and large bulging muscles. Its eyes were blood red and it let off a roar.
Fester: VAMPIRE GENESIS! ATTACK!
Kiete: I use Kuriboh's effect to reduce the damage to 0!
The beast slashed out, but hit a floating Kuriboh instead.
Fester: I'll end.
Kiete: OK, I draw! Now, I'll play Lightning Vortex! I discard King Muka Muka to destroy Vampire Genesis!
A large swirl of lightning zapped the vampire into nothing.
Kiete: Now, I play 1 card face down and play Winged Kuriboh (ATK 300) in attack position! Then I'll play MAGE POWER! My Winged Kuriboh increases its attack for every spell and trap on my field! I've got 3! Winged Kuriboh's attack is increased to 1800 and its defense is increase to 1700! KURIBOH! FINISH THIS!
The Winged Kuriboh flew up into the air and slammed into Doctor Fester, ending the duel. Fester is knocked off his feet, banging his head on the ground. Kiete walks over and helps him to his feet.
Fester: Congratulations, you won fair and square. Move off to your examination area. Go through Exit 2 and all the down the path.
Kiete: I'll look forward to it.
Kiete moved off towards exit 2, quizzing himself for the test.
