Hey there everyone. Stretches back. Damn cat… She just had to "SIT" me that many times! Growls, but then evilly chuckles. I'll fix her Friday though… She'll soon know what terror is, that is for sure. But till then, I have to wait. Hates waiting this week.
Anyways, everyone's favorite villain is dueling, and has already taken a heavy hit. Can Ryou recover? Is it even possible for him to make up the difference between him and Tsume? After all, Tsume has 12,500 total points, plus Ryou only has a meager 600 points left and a weak monster. Can Ryou turn the tide, or will he get washed away like Bakura? We'll soon find out.
Btw, in case everyone was curious as to why I called Ryou that name, it was due that when I was watching the show, they called both Bakura. Well, I found out later, thanks to a late source after I had begun work on this story. Glares at a certain half cat demon. She only shrugs. So, I found out after calling Yami Bakura just Ryou that he was called Bakura in the magna, and Bakura (sweet one) was called Ryou. Oh well, so I mixed up the names! Big deal! Lol, at least no one has complained, hehe.
Oh yeah, also, while I'm on it, I hope everyone saw what I was trying to prove with the Shadow Game. The seal was that much more powerful than their Shadow Powers, which Yami proved quite well in the first episode of that series. So, I figured I'd show it once again, and who better than Mr. Shadow Game himself to prove it, lol.
At any rate, now it's time to get to the reviews. This should be fun.
Tomb Robber Vicky: Yep, those three in combo have taken the first strike on Ryou. This will be an uphill struggle for Ryou if he expects to win, but he's clever, and he'll figure something out. That or Tsume gets to be 2 for 2 in his records, lol. Sure he is Bakura. You're just mad cause you're losing now.
Ultimate Legendary Master: Very true, he's a major disadvantage at the moment, but who knows, he may pull a Yami, hehe. And yes, this is the evil spirit of the Millennium Ring. Anything is possible with him. The hell I wasn't hurt! I was "SAT" fifty times! Do you have any idea how much that hurts! Inuyasha does, although Kagome (actually Kikyo, lol) stole the idea from Marie. Thanks for the comments though.
Isis the Sphinx: Yeah, he's not in a Shadow Game, meaning he's lost, lol. True, he's no good guy, but him helping Illidan is kind of important. Watches Kagome chase after Isis. Trips Isis and watches Kagome jump on top of her and start a cat fight. Begins selling tickets, only to be discovered by Marie. Sweatdrops… Uh, Marie, just the person I was coming to see to separate the fight out. Sees flames coming off of Marie. Now… dear, don't do anything hasty! Gets flattened by her fist. Has spiral eyes and a large lump on the head. Watches her stalk away with cat tail swishing rapidly.
Manages to stand back up for the review. Gotta… do it for the fans… Excuse me for a moment. Turns away and screams out in pain for five minutes. Turns back. Much better… Damn cat, she'll get hers this weekend… Anyways, back to reviewing.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Indeed, Ryou is already in big trouble. He could possibly recover, but does he have the power of Dark World? We'll see, now won't we, hehe. But yes, Tsume knows how to work his well oiled machines. Obviously, he must be taking lessons from Zane on GX, lol.
pink-kiss-candy: Sees Ryon being chocked still. I'm telling you, I could help you, but nooo! You're too cheap to pay for protection. Oh well. Btw, she's not stupid! She's pretty nice. pink-kiss-candy: "Why thank you Illidan." She turns to Ryon and tells him how bad he is. That's right, you tell him. Secretly takes her wallet and pulls out money, then puts it back while evilly grinning.
Berry Kisses: Just take the medicine Ryon! If you do, you'll be somewhat cooler…
sweetxokissesxo: Hmm, this "honeypie" could be the true culprit. Oh wait, no, it's got to be Ryon. Ryon rolls his eyes.
Brianna Ishtar: You bet it's great! Ryon, we all know you did those horrible things. Quit trying to tarnish our good records.
Fire Princess: Ah, come on Ryon. I'm not evil. Maybe moderately, but definitely not evil. Here, as a jest of goodwill, I'll give you this free bag of cash. Feel better? Walks away as sirens sound and police surround Ryon. Police: "THERE IS THE ROBBER!"
Strawberry Cake: Sees Strawberry Cake's hair. Wth happened to your hair? She points to Ryon. Ryon, how could you? Dying an innocent person's hair, just shameful. Turns away with evil grin on face.
Ryon Nakura: You know me and the doctor never could hurt a single person. Has white light behind him and the doctor as halos appear over their heads and they each have cute eyes. Do these look like the faces that could do evil? But sure, try to get your life back. It may work.
Wipes sweat off of face. Wow, that was a lot of reviews. Plus, I was in pain due to a certain half cat… Pay back is coming kitty, so you'd better have your fun for now. Come Friday, the dog has his day. Evilly chuckles. Naraku joins in. Who the hell said you could join in? Naraku: "But I love to evilly laugh." Slashes him and Jaken with Danceseiga, forcing the two to fuse into one. The new form looks like puke with black hair and red eyes. Much better. Slashes new form in half with claws. Then asks Miroku to clean up the mess with the Wind Tunnel. Nice job man. But alas, I must leave. Good night everyone, and enjoy the chapter. Till next time. Same half demon time, same half demon place! Spinning Illidan symbol zooms in and out. Theme music plays too. Wait, when did I get those? Oh yeah, they're still needing ordered… Well, I'll just settle for a later. Later.
Chapter 23
Vash only looked on at the spirit, shocked at the major disposition he was in. "He's lost all but 600 of his life points, while Tsume has over 12000. How is the spirit going to overcome this?" he asked out loud.
Illidan only calmly said "He will. Ryou maybe down, but he's not out. He'll fight till the last point to avenge Bakura. Just wait, you'll see."
On the field, Ryou calmly drew his next card and smirked. "It's time to have a little fun, and it starts by me summoning my Brron, Mad King of Dark World (1800/400) in attack mode." A grey skinned creature with a green coat on his back, green locks of hair, chains binding his arms together in the front of his body, and a sick looking face appeared on the field. He lightly flexed his green claws, showing his readiness to attack.
"Now I'll show you how I do things! Brron, direct attack his life points with Dark World King Slash!" The bound up man lashed forward, arms still in chains. He then flexed his claws and struck Tsume with them hard in an upward motion, making Tsume slightly flinch.
"Time for my monster's special ability to kick in now. You see, when Brron does damage to your life points, I'm allowed to discard one card from my hand to the Graveyard."
Tsume only laughed, saying "That's a rather horrible effect. Your own monster harms your hand advantage over me."
Smirking, Ryou replied "So you'd think. Now I'll discard Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World to the Graveyard. But he has a very special ability. You see, when Beiige is discarded from my hand to the Graveyard, I get to special summon him back to the field in attack mode (1600/1300)!" A grey skinned creature, much like the previous one with a green coat, with a little golden armor and a spear in hand appeared on the field.
"Since I special summoned Beiige, he's allowed to attack, so strike with Dark World Spear Strike!" The grey creature with a spear quickly rushed forward, striking Tsume hard with it's spear across the chest. Tsume slid back slightly, but remained standing.
"Now it's your turn Broww! Attack him with Dark World Arrow Strike!" The grey armored monster drew it's bow and shot an arrow, which struck Tsume in the chest, making him clutch it instantly. He lightly panted, but showed that he was alright.
"To finish off my move, I place two cards face down. It's your move." (Ryou 600, Tsume 7700)
Growling, Tsume drew and said "I place one card face down, ending my move." (Ryou 600, Tsume 7700)
Ryou calmly drew his next card and smirked, saying "Your pain is yet to end, for now I summon Scarr, Scout of Dark World (500/500) in attack mode." A red skinned creature on four legs appeared on the field. His hind legs looked more like a dogs than anything. He had two spikes also jutting out from the back of his body also.
"Brron, attack with Dark World King Slash!" The grey skinned creature with a green coat on his shoulders launched itself forward, intent on striking Tsume.
Tsume though had other plans, saying "I activate my trap card, Call of the Haunted! Now I can revive my fallen monster back in attack mode, and I choose Cyber End Dragon (4000 + 500 4500/2800)!" The tri-headed machine dragon reappeared on the field, letting out a metallic roar. It's three heads then roared loudly again as the green symbol of the seal appeared on their foreheads.
"What will you do now spirit? You can choose to attack, and fail, or choose to end your move and lose next turn. Your choice." Tsume said with a smirk.
Looking at his hand for a moment, the spirit smirked and said "I'll just have to lay one card face down and end my move." (Ryou 600, Tsume 7700)
Blue and Vash only looked on with concern on their face. Each knew that Ryou couldn't take a shot from Tsume's dragon, but knew it was only a matter of time that Tsume used it to wipe Ryou out.
"I'm worried Vash." Blue said in a very worrisome voice.
Nodding, Vash replied "As am I Blue. I don't like the spirit due to our past, but I don't want to see him lose his soul either."
"He won't lose the duel." Illidan said calmly. Both looked at him, knowing that he had to be concerned too. He had stood there the entire duel with his arms crossed, simply staring at the duel. It was as if he had no emotions at all about the duel, one way or another.
Slowly, both nodded, silently agreeing with Illidan, but also hoping his prediction was right. If it wasn't, Ryou would be gone forever.
On the field, Tsume smirked and said "You know your destiny is to lose this duel, don't you?"
Ryou only laughed, and replied with "I've never quite believed in destiny. Many things are said to be destined, but so many don't happen. An example was I was destined to be sealed away by Illidan for all time to come, yet here I stand. Set free by Illidan none the less. So, as for destiny, I don't buy it."
Tsume only frowned and said "You may not yet, but you should, for your fate was sealed the moment you started this duel! Now, watch as I draw. I'll play the spell card Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards. Time to end this duel, once and for all! Cyber End Dragon, obliterate that pathetic Scarr with Super Strident Blaze!"
The tri-headed machine dragon let out a roar as each set of jaws opened, golden energy glowing from within them. In a single moment, each released their triple attack, which merged into one which hurtled across the field, straight towards the red creature.
With a hearty laugh, Ryou yelled "You should reread that destiny thing, because I have a trap! I reveal the trap card Nutrient Z! This trap is triggered when I'm about to take 2000 or more points of damage to my life points. It now adds 4000 life points to my counter, thus giving me 4600 total! But I'm not finished, for I reveal another trap that my vessel was using! I reveal Enchanted Javelin, which now adds your monster's attack points to my life points, which means I gain a total of 4500 points! Altogether, my two trap cards have just raised my life points by 8500!"
Tsume could only growl as a small javelin with wings and yellow top appeared in front of the golden blaze. The blaze surrounded it as it glowed and then sent more power to Ryou's life points. Still, the golden blaze continued on, striking the red fiend creature hard, causing it to roar as it exploded into millions of pieces. The backwash of the blast then struck Ryou, making him cry out in pain and drop to one knee. He sat there, panting, trying hard to just catch his breath.
Finally, Ryou caught his breath and chuckled, saying "Thank you for sending Scarr to the Graveyard by the way. You see, when he goes to the Graveyard, I get to add one level four or lower monster with the name 'Dark World' in it to my hand from my deck. Now I'll add another Broww, Huntsman of Dark World. You're so very helpful."
With anger flashing in his eyes, Tsume yelled "I'm not finished with you! I now play the spell card De-Fusion! Now my dragon separates back into the three Cyber Dragon's (2100 + 500 2600/1600) that I used to form my dragon." The large three headed dragon roared softly as it glowed brightly. Three forms then appeared in it's place, each a metallic looking snake dragon.
"Since it's still my Battle Phase, each of the three can attack! Cyber Dragon's, attack with Strident Blaze!" Each of the dragons opened their jaws to reveal red flames. Then each spat their flames at their targets. The three grey skinned monsters were each struck, each one crying out in pain as they exploded into millions of pieces.
"You have no monsters on the field now, and nothing to protect you next turn. I'd think about embracing your destiny now spirit, before you are forced to. I'll place one card face down and end my turn." (Ryou 2100, Tsume 7700)
"What now?" Vash asked out loud to Illidan.
Illidan only continued to look on though. His eyes were intent on watching the duel closely. "He'll win, just you wait. He's far from finished, and you should never underestimate him. Just wait till you two see what he can truly do."
Both nodded, knowing Illidan had the most experience dealing with the spirit. Each hoped he knew what he was talking about, for Ryou's soul was on the line, and neither truly wanted to see him lose.
Back on the field, Ryou finally stood up from the last assault and smirked as he drew. Looking at his card, he smirked even more and said "I play the spell card Pot of Greed myself, allowing me to draw two more cards."
He slowly picked up his two new cards and smiled in satisfaction. "I'll now play the spell card Premature Burial. At a cost of 800 life points, I get to bring back one monster from my Graveyard, and I choose my Broww, Huntsman of Dark World (1400/800)." The grey armored creature then reappeared, looking as ugly as ever.
"Next I sacrifice him in order to summon Dark Dust Spirit (2200/1800) in attack mode." A darker shade of red monster with long grey hair then appeared on the field. Dust was stirring up around him, making it hard to see the monster.
"This monster has a very special ability. You see, he hates company out on the field, so whenever this monster is summoned, I get to automatically destroy every monster on the field other than him. Say farewell to your dragons!" The dust then began to kick up, as a fierce storm appeared on the field. The dark red monster only stood there as the wind blew his grey hair to and fro. Then suddenly the three metallic dragons let out a roar of pain as each exploded into millions of pieces.
Tsume growled loudly at this, but before he could say a thing, Ryou said "Ah, poor baby, did his dragon's go boom? I'll make it all better in a moment, but first, I think I'll bring out another friend. I now remove from play from my Graveyard my Broww, Huntsman of Dark World, Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World, and Brron, Mad King of Dark World, in order to special summon Dark Necrofear (2200/2800) in attack mode!" A blue skinned creature with icy cold yellow eyes then appeared on the field.
"Now Dark Dust Spirit, direct attack his life points with Darkness Dust Storm!" The dark red creature let out a horrible cry as a dust storm appeared. In the storm, the creature quickly cross the field and struck Tsume hard with a strong fist to the face, which made Tsume only slide back.
"I'm not finished yet, so Dark Necrofear, attack with Night Shade Blast!" The blue skinned creature let out a screech and sent out a beam of dark energy from her eyes at Tsume. He took it head on, making him slide backwards yet again. He still stood, but was now panting hard.
"That'll end my move, and during my End Phase, Dark Dust Spirit returns to my hand. Let's see what you have now, shall we?" (Ryou 1300, Tsume 4400)
Tsume only growled loudly as he drew his card, but slightly calmed down as he stared at it. "You may have gotten lucky last turn, but no more of that. Now I summon Proto-Cyber Dragon (1100 + 500 1600/600) in attack mode." A dragon that looked nearly like the previous three metallic dragons then appeared on the field. The major difference in this dragon and the other two was it's head wasn't completely constructed like the other three.
"That'll do it for me. Attack me if you dare." (Ryou 1300, Tsume 4400)
Grinning as he drew, Ryou said "Attack if I dare huh? Well, you asked for it. First though, I'll place Broww, Huntsman of Dark World (1400/800) in defense mode." A grey skinned creature with a bow and arrow with a weird right arm then appeared in a one knee stance.
"Now Dark Necrofear, attack with Night Shade Blast!" The blue skinned fiend shrieked loudly as a blast of dark energy went flying out of her eyes.
Smirking, Tsume called out "Fool, now you've done it! I activate the trap known as Attack Reflector Unit! By sacrificing a Cyber Dragon on the field…"
Ryou only burst out loud laughing, saying "You have none on your field you fool! You've wasted your trap card!"
Again smirking, Tsume said "Actually I do. You see, Proto-Cyber Dragon's special ability allows me to treat it as a Cyber Dragon. Now I'll sacrifice Proto-Cyber Dragon in order to special summon Cyber Barrier Dragon (800 + 500 1300/2800) in attack mode!" The metallic dragon vanished, only to be replaced by a new metallic dragon. This one had a ring near the top of it's head with four antenna, with a pink stripe on it.
Ryou only laughed, saying "You fool, you just special summoned a weaker dragon than before!"
Tsume only laughed, saying "You're the fool! Your attack has triggered Cyber Barrier Dragon's special ability. Once a turn while this monster is in attack mode, I can negate attack, so Cyber Barrier Dragon, use your Cyber Shielding!" The metallic dragon let out a screech as it's four antenna extended. A green barrier then formed around it's head, taking the impact of the blast that the blue skinned fiend had launched.
Lightly growling, Ryou said "That'll end my move then." (Ryou 1300, Tsume 4400)
Tsume only grinned as he drew, and grinned even eviler when he saw his card. In an arrogant voice, he said "You're finished now. I play the spell card called Card of Demise. Now I get to draw till I hold five cards in my hand. Next I play the spell card Silent Doom, which brings back one of my monsters from the Graveyard in defense mode, so I choose my Cyber Dragon (2100 + 500 2600/1600)!" One of the metallic dragons then reappeared on the field, with it's body slightly coiled up to show it's defensive stance.
"Next I play the spell card Premature Burial, allowing me to special summon back another Cyber Dragon (2600/1600) at a cost of 800 life points." Another metallic dragon reappeared on the field, letting out a loud roar.
"Now I'll play the spell card Photon Generator Unit! By sacrificing two Cyber Dragon's, I can now special summon Cyber Laser Dragon (2400 + 500 2900/1800) in attack mode!" The two metallic dragons then vanished to only be replaced by a new one. This one was more sleek looking, and had a fold laser on it's tail.
"Cyber Laser Dragon, attack that pathetic Dark Necrofear with Blue Laser Lash!" The dragon opened it's jaws, firing a blue laser blast directly at the blue skinned fiend. It was hit head on, instantly crushing it.
Ryou only growled at the loss of his monster, but Tsume was quick to say "Don't fret, I haven't forgotten Cyber Barrier Dragon! Now attack his Broww with Sonic Barrier Screech!" The dragon with a ring around it's head pulled it's head back into the ring and let out a loud screech. The four antennas extended out and a green glow appeared. The barrier was then thrust forward, striking the grey fiend hard, causing it's destruction.
"That'll end my move right there. Better give up now, before I crush you next turn…" Before Tsume could finish, the blue skinned fiend reappeared on the field in front of Ryou.
"WHAT IS SHE DOING BACK!" he yelled out.
Ryou only smirked and said "It's really simple. On the turn Dark Necrofear is destroyed, I get to equip her to one of your monsters. As long as she's equipped, I control that monster, so I'll be taking that Cyber Laser Dragon now." The dragon roared loudly as it suddenly swapped sides. As it switched, the green seal on it's forehead vanished, lowering it's attack points (2400/1800).
Growling loudly, Tsume said "It won't make a bit of difference! Either way, you'll lose this duel! I end my move." (Ryou 600, Tsume 3600)
