Hey there everybody! Wow, Illidan is on the comeback train once again, but how long will that last against a very powerful Kouga? Can Kouga mount a charge back against Illidan, or will he end up losing? Those are all good questions and will be answered most likely in this chapter. Now, time to get down to answering some reviews.
pink-kiss-candy: I agree totally with you. Ryon, you're a horrible person. I mean, after all, Ryou is unconscious, and you stole from him. How could you? Ryon: "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STOLE HIS WALLET!" There you go again, blaming others for your misdeeds. You're just jealous that you're not as cool as me or the doctor. Ryon: Rolls eyes.
Tomb Robber Vicky: I like the Armed Dragons as well. If not for the fact I don't have 5 or 7, I'd run a deck with them. I could get them, but I'd have to center a deck around them, which is semi difficult. And no Bakura, the world won't be yours. You'll end up getting your butt kicked by… Rex Raptor! Now, that'd be humiliating, lol.
Ultimate Legendary Master: He sure did. He went from no field position to total field dominance. True, it was obvious something had to give, and Card of Sanctity is the only card that could really help at that point. Ah, Hassleberry isn't too bad, although he's a bit irritating. Lol, I did love that cooking episode though. Bastion: "Yes, leader of the loonies lost his duel." It was an interesting duel all the way through. GX is more fast paced this second season, although I do wonder what is going to happen. It seems Zane got recruited for the dark side, Aster is just trying to get rid of darkness, while Jaden is trying to equal the two out. I do ponder though if Jaden will ever get back to the academy though…
Isis the Sphinx: Yeah, I liked Wolf's Rain. I watched most of the show, but didn't get to see some parts of it. Actually, if you looked up the three names listed so far (not including Kouga) from the group, you'd find them all belonging to that show. Thanks for the comment about the duel.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Yep, very intense. Very true, Illidan's deck has pulled it together and given him the edge he needed to fight back the warriors at long last. I did actually build the deck so that it would work. I never actually dueled with it, seeing how some cards are banned, but I think in reality, it would halfway work. I play tested it against a friend, and it did decent. But yes, Kouga is going to be more desperate now, so he'll need one hell of a strategy to take Illidan out.
Well, that's all for the night. I'm glad everyone likes the sequel so far. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed my story. And to those who haven't reviewed, feel free to place a few comments in a review. You don't have to, but I like feedback. It helps me in writing all my stories. I know some feedback I've gotten so far has given me ideas for other stories, so do feel free to post it. I enjoy the good and bad.
Ok, I'm out for the night, so you all enjoy. Later.
Chapter 11
Kouga was only seething in anger as Illidan had ended his turn. He growled loudly, his anger spilling out of him noticeably. The seal began to react to it, green shining around the barrier in small waves. "HOW DARE HE!" he screamed in his mind.
Kiba noticed that Kouga was now furious and inwardly chuckled. "He's losing it over such a simple thing. He's finished I think. At the rate Kouga is fighting, it won't last long. Soon Kouga shall lose this duel, and I shall have to take back over the Wolf Pack. I can't believe our master would even allow Kouga to take the lead. That was Master Dartz's only mistake that I can guess he has ever had. Or possibly he wanted to see what Illidan could do first. Either way, it won't matter soon, for Kouga is so furious he can't see straight most likely, which means he'll lose this duel. It's only a matter of time."
Kouga was still angry, his anger causing the seal to react. Illidan smiled at this, knowing he had really cheesed off Kouga. "He's so angry he won't be able to duel straight. If he would just calm down, he'd notice he has a commanding lead yet, but he's so angry at the fact I broke through his defenses that he won't be able to win this duel, and that's what I needed to get this win. I just hope I win, because if I fail here, I'll lose my soul."
At last, Kouga snarled "HOW DARE YOU MAKE A FOOL OF ME! I WILL DESTROY YOU!"
That said, he angrily drew his card and said "I first sacrifice both Mataza the Zapper and Blade Knight to summon Gilford the Lightening (2800/1400) in attack mode! Now he gains 500 more points thanks to the seal (3300/1400)!" A warrior in grey armor with a red cape and a grey helmet then appeared. He had a huge sword on his back in a sheath, and let out a battle cry when he was summoned. The green symbol that had plagued all of Kouga's monsters then appeared on him, making him that much fiercer.
"Now I play the spell card Bronze Knight! This spell card allows me to special summon three Bronze Knight Tokens (500/0) to the field in attack mode by discarding three cards to the Graveyard. And don't forget, the seal increases their strength as well (1000/0)!" Three suits of grey armor with swords in their hands appeared on the field and the green symbol appeared on each of their heads.
"Next, I play the spell card The A. Forces! This card takes count of how many Warrior and Spellcaster type monsters I have out, and then adds 200 attack points to each of my Warrior monsters. Since I have four Warriors, my monsters each gain 800 attack points (4100/1400) (1800/0)!" Each of the warriors on the field then glowed as their power increased.
"Now, Gilford, annihilate that pathetic Black Luster Soldier with Lightning Slash!" The red caped warrior let out another battle cry and pulled his sword from it's sheath on his back. He then made a sweeping motion, easily sending a blast of electrical energy flying at the black armored warrior. He was struck easily, screaming out in pain as he was obliterated. The blast sent a backwash of energy at Illidan, making him fall to one knee.
"I'll end my move at that. Soon you'll be destroyed Illidan, and you'll lose your soul!" (Illidan 200, Kouga 5700)
Slowly, Illidan stood back up and drew, saying "You're wrong Kouga! I won't lose this duel. I have too many people counting on me to even begin to think about losing! Now, I place one card face down. Chaos Emperor Dragon, attack one of the Bronze Knight Tokens!" The black dragon roared and opened it's jaws and released a blast of black energy straight at the weaker suit of armor. The armor was easily crushed, causing a strong gust of wind to form up from it's destruction.
"I'm not through yet! Your loss of that knight just reduced each of your monster's attack points by 200 (3900/1400) (1600/0). Dark Magician of Chaos, attack one of those Bronze Knight Tokens with Chaos Scepter Blast!" The mage twirled his staff and then pointed it straight at the weaker suit of armor. He let a blast of dark energy then fly from his staff, which easily blew the suit of armor apart at the seams.
"Again, your monsters lose more of their strength (3700/1400) (1400/0)! And now, to finish that last token off. Armed Dragon, attack that Bronze Knight Token with Dragon Talon Terror!" The dragon roared and pulled back his right arm. It then pushed it forward, striking the suit of armor hard with it's large talon hand, which instantly crushed the suit of armor.
"That shall do it for me. And if you didn't notice, your monster lost yet another 200 points (3500/1400). Now, go ahead, try to beat me, if you think you can." (Illidan 200, Kouga 1900)
Roaring with frustration, Kouga drew and yelled "You're finished! Attack his pathetic Dark Magician of Chaos now Gilford with Lightning Slash!" The warrior roared and raised his sword into the air, drawing up electrical energy into the blade. He then made a sweeping motion towards the mage, who seemed unfazed.
"IT'S ALL OVER ILLIDAN! I WIN!" screamed Kouga as the attack went flying.
"NO, ILLIDAN!" screamed Vash.
"Illidan…" Marie called out.
Glancing back at Marie, he flashed a smile. Turning his attention back to Kouga, he said "It's a shame you didn't notice my face down card, because it's about to cost you the game! I activate the trap card Covering Fire! Now, this trap can only be activated when you attack me. It allows me to increase the attack points of the attacked monster by one of my other monsters on the field, and since I have Dark Magician of Chaos's friend Chaos Emperor Dragon on the field, I choose him as the monster I transfer attack points from, meaning my mage is now stronger than your warrior (5800/2600)!" The mage and the black dragon then glowed. Instantly, the mage's strength increased greatly, making him far stronger thanks to his fellow Chaos monster.
"Dark Magician of Chaos, counter attack with Chaos Scepter Blast!" The mage quickly raised his staff to point at the warrior's attack and fired a blast of powerful black energy. The two attacks clashed, and the mage's blast easily tore through the warrior's blade of energy. The black energy blast then flew across the field, striking the warrior hard and causing a massive explosion.
"NOOO! THIS CAN'T BE! HE CAN'T WIN!" Kouga screamed as the backwash of the blast hit him, causing him to slide backwards. He remained standing, but was extremely angry and in utter shock.
The green symbol on the field then glowed brightly and began to contract around Kouga, seemingly freeing Illidan at long last from it's grasp. Illidan fell to one knee after it let him out.
"I'm exhausted…" he silently thought as he sat there panting for a moment. He looked up to see Kouga screaming as the green symbol only continued to contract around him like it had earlier with Bakura.
Silently, Kiba smirked, knowing this was Kouga's fate the moment he had lost control of his emotions. "It is a sad fate, but I warned the fool to not lose control. Still, he ignored me and let his emotions cloud his judgment. Now he shall pay the price."
Marie ran up to Illidan as the commotion continued on. She knelt down beside him, placing her hand on his face and asked "Are you alright?"
He nodded and slowly stood back up, watching as the seal finally circled Kouga. It began to glow brighter, much like how they had seen it when Bakura had lost his duel earlier in the night.
Kouga yelled out before he was taken "Avenge me my brothers!"
The seal then quit glowing and the beam rode up into the sky. Kouga then fell to his knees and then slumped forward. The group that was with him seemed to sigh and the one who had yelled at Kouga stepped forward to check on his body.
After a moment, the guy stood up from looking at Kouga and smiled, saying to Illidan "Congratulations Illidan, you beat him."
Growling lightly, Illidan spat angrily "There is no pride in taking a soul for no reason!"
The young man lightly chuckled and replied "You're right, there is none. Yet, I feel no guilt for the loss of Kouga. Kouga was arrogant, bullheaded, and hot tempered. He had no sense within himself, and should have listened to me when I warned him about his anger. Still, it was his fault he lost. He underestimated you, something we won't do again."
Smirking slightly, Illidan said "Oh really? That'd be a first for many who have faced me."
That caused the young man to only chuckle again, but he then turned his back to Illidan and said "Tsume, Toboe, help carry Kouga out of here. We're leaving."
Before the two he spoke to could move, Illidan said "Wait! Kouga said you would tell me how to get my friend's soul back!"
This caused the young man to turn back around to look at Illidan. He smiled and finally said "Go see Pegasus. He will point you in the direction you need to go."
Nodding, Illidan then asked "Who are you?"
Smirking, the young man replied "My name is Kiba, and I lead the Wolf Pack here. Expect to see us again soon Illidan, for we will take your soul and that Egyptian God Card. Later."
With those last words said, Kiba threw a small sphere to the ground, causing a smoke screen to appear. Illidan, Marie, and Vash covered their faces, coughing as the smoke filled the area. When it finally cleared, the group was gone, as was Kouga's body.
The only thing left that Illidan noticed was a small necklace with a green stone on it. With tenderness still in his body, he limped over to the necklace and picked it up. Staring at it, he got a small odd feeling about it, like it held some secret.
Marie soon interrupted his looking over the necklace by saying "Illidan, we should get out of here."
Turning back to her, he smiled and said "Yes, we should. We need to warn Yami and Seto. Both are in danger according to what Kouga said. Plus we need to get Bakura's body back to somewhere safe."
Illidan then stuck the necklace in his pants pocket and looked over at Vash, saying "We'll take Bakura's body back to our motel room till we can figure something out. You can stay with us too Vash. We have four rooms in the motel."
Nodding, Vash replied "Sure, I'll come with you. I'll carry my brother back. Can you help get him on my back?"
Illidan smiled and replied "Yes, of course."
Together, Marie and Illidan gently laid Bakura on Vash's back. The three then walked towards the motel with many things on each of their minds.
Elsewhere, in an alleyway not far from where the duel had taken place, the Wolf Pack was sitting on some crates, seemingly relaxing. Kouga's body was resting on one crate, mostly to be out of the way.
"What an idiot! Why would Master Dartz ever let that moron lead us in the first place!" Tsume said.
Shrugging, Kiba replied "I believe he allowed Kouga to lead in order to test Illidan. He wanted to see just how strong Illidan was, and now we know. We got a nice sample of his deck. The Egyptian God Card, Anubis, is not the only thing we have to worry about."
"Still, I can't believe Master Dartz would allow him to lead. Kouga could have easily sent one of us to duel Illidan first." Spoke up a light brown headed young man. He had unruly brown hair that puffed out slightly, and light brown, almost reddish eyes. He wore a dog collar around his neck that fit loosely. His clothes consisted of grey khakis, a yellow hooded t-shirt with a small long sleeve shirt underneath of the hooded shirt.
Kiba looked at him, and replied "Doubtful Hige. Kouga isn't smart enough to delegate power. Then again, he wasn't smart enough to win his duel either. He foolishly believed that Illidan would be powerless without his Egyptian God Card, and look what it cost him."
Tsume nodded, and said "That bone head could have won if he had checked his target out a little better that last turn. Even a rookie should know not to attack a person who didn't switch his monsters to defense mode the turn before when you have the stronger monster."
This made the younger man beside Tsume lightly giggle. He had light brown neck length hair with golden eyes. He wore black boots with green khaki pants and a red button up shirt with his sleeves slightly rolled up. On his right arm sat a set of silver bracelets. His face bore great innocence.
"What are you laughing at Toboe?" Tsume asked in slightly annoyance.
The young man smiled and replied "I was just thinking how right you are about that amateur like mistake Kouga made. Even I know enough to not attack someone like that."
"So, what now Kiba?" asked a young girl. She had dark brown wild hair and a pair of ice blue eyes. She wore a red scarf around her neck, had on knee high black boots, and a black dress that had a collar at the top and long sleeves that covered her arms. There was a belt as well that was at her stomach.
Turning to her, he said "Well Blue, we're going to play strategy. We'll not attack Illidan again for a while. When we do, I'll take him on. There will be zero mistakes this time. This time, we do things my way."
The group nodded, and Tsume asked "What is your way then?"
Kiba smirked and replied "We take out the ones closest to Illidan in order to get to him. I'm sure you noticed how in love he is with that girl, Marie. Our next target is her, and once she's gone, he will not be as stable as before. We then take out that other kid, the brother of Bakura, Vash Ryou. Once Vash and Marie fall, Illidan will lose control of himself, and like Kouga, lose sense of his emotions. He'll foolishly hunt us down, and when he does, I'll be ready to take his soul and Egyptian God Card."
The others nodded at this, and each smiled. Hige then looked at Kouga's body and said "What do we do with that trash pile of a Wolf Pack member?"
Kiba sneered and replied "Put him in a crate and mail him back to Darcia. I'm sure Darcia agrees with me that letting Kouga lead was the worst mistake ever. Toboe, you and Tsume stick him in a crate so we'll be done with him."
Tsume and Toboe both sighed and got up, Tsume mumbling something about "I always have to do all the heavy lifting around here."
Kiba only smirked at that and then turned his attention to the other two left with him. "Blue, you will duel Marie tonight. Once we get her alone, you will duel her and take her soul."
Blue lightly gulped, but slowly nodded her head, and said "As you command Kiba."
Hige saw this and took hold of her hand and lightly squeezed it, and kindly said "Don't worry Blue, you'll do great. You'll finally be able to show the rest of the pack why you belong with us."
She nodded and seemed to cheer up. The group then heard a big thump to only look over to see Tsume had literally thrown Kouga's body into a crate. They all laughed at this scene.
Kiba only smiled and said "Soon, we shall strike again. This time, we will win, and take out another objective."
