Hey there everyone. Glad everybody liked the last chapter. The duel between two former lovers is about to commence, and the question is, will Blue and Hige go at it with everything they have, or will one or both back down? We'll find out soon enough I guess. In the mean time, I'll do the reviews.
Tomb Robber Vicky: Yeah, Hige seems somewhat pissed off. Blue has the confidence, but can she follow thorough? That is the million dollar question. Mmm, pizza… Grabs a slice of Bakura's pizza. Very tasty. Sees angry Bakura. Just smiles at him and devours slice.
pink-kiss-candy: Yeah, I'm not a fan of fish either. For some reason though, Marie loves fish. Guess it'd due to the half cat part. Lol, yes, Ryon's rotting soul sounds closer.
Brianna Ishtar: Odd he has no record, yet all of his friends have been in trouble. He must have been the only smart one there, that or he blamed all his friends for the things he's done.
Berry Kisses: Very special indeed. And yes, I'll try to remain a good writer. It's hard, but someone around here has to, lol.
Fire Princess: I'm not perfect, and I'll admit that. After all, I slashed the evil zombie girls with my claws. I also do "mean" things according to my mate, but I don't see what she means. Meh, I'm not perfect, but I'm sure a lot more innocent than Ryon. After all, what kind of guy blames others for the trouble he caused!?
Ultimate Legendary Master: Indeed she does give the command to me a lot. Grumbles about that fact. Still, I love my mate… at least, I tell myself that every time I get the command. Of course, it's fun to pounce on her and hold her down, daring her to tell me the command then. She never does, for some reason. That or when I'm holding her tail in my mouth, for some reason she won't command me. Oh well, but anyways, the voice is alright. If it gets out of control… Crackles claws. I"ll take care of it, hehe.
Strawberry Cake: Lol, yes, Ryon doesn't know what he's getting himself into. He should have hired me to take out the doctor, but NO! He's too cheap to. Serves him right to lose a fight to the doctor.
sweetxokissesxo: I'd take it personally too if Ryon dyed my hair puke green. I have a better idea for torture though. Whispers in sweetxokissesxo's ear. She evilly grins at the new thoughts.
Ryon Nakura: Should have hired me. The rock would have never existed if you had. Lol, interesting comment, whomever wrote it.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Very true. Hige is now showing his true anger and frustration, and it's obvious he's not happy about anything with Blue now. The deck modifications should be good for each. As for Gate Guardian, I never thought of that, but the problem with that is finding the pieces. Marie had none, and obviously, Blue didn't either. That was the sad part about that idea. We'll see what happens though.
Isis the Sphinx: Yes, go Blue! Let's see you use those big boots for some butt kicking! Btw, I'm not afraid! For behold, my second sword, the Frostmorne! It can kill even a god, so come forth and fight! Marie: Enters area. "Sit boy!" Smacks ground. Damn woman…
Well, that's it for now. The duel between the former lovers shall begin momentarily. The question is, who shall prevail? That is the question that shall hopefully be answered soon enough. Till next time, later everyone, and remember, I love donations (to the poor half demon fund. Send cash or money order to my email account, hehe) and reviews.
Chapter 27
Each drew five cards and Hige smirked, saying "Since I already played my first card, I'll go first. I now summon Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000) in attack mode!" A serpent like dragon made up of flaming energy appeared and let out a roar. Only it's face, two horns on it's head, a line of scales on it's back and it's underbelly were solid.
"And don't forget, each of my monsters are now fueled by the seal's power (2000/1000)!" The dragon howled as a green symbol appeared on it's forehead, making it's eyes glow red.
"Next I'll place two cards face down, and then I move to my End Phase. During it, my dragon's special ability kicks in. It inflicts 500 points worth of damage to your life points, so use your Solar Beam Ray now Solar Flare Dragon!" The dragon roared as it fired a beam of extremely hot energy at Blue. Blue was struck hard, making her scream out in pain as the searing heat pushed her backwards. When the attack was over, wisps of smoke poured off her body.
"That's all for me Blue. I'd start thinking about quitting if I was you." (Hige 8000, Blue 7500)
Blue lightly growled and said "I refuse to give up!"
She then drew and lightly smiled, saying "I first summon my Sasuke Samurai #4 (1200/1200) in defense mode." A small creature with a yellow sphere shaped head with a mustache on his face, and a small body underneath of it with black and red samurai armor then appeared. On his head was a samurai's helmet that had a crescent moon. He held a staff in his hands that had a sharp blade on the end that gleamed.
Hige only smirked and said "You've triggered my trap cards! First, I reveal A Rival Appears, which allows me to select one monster of yours. Then I get to special summon a monster of the same level from my hand to the field, so I choose a second Solar Flare Dragon (1500 + 500 2000/1000) in attack mode!" Another dragon made of molten material formed up on the field, letting out a powerful roar.
"My next trap is a fun one for you, for I now activate Nightmare Wheel! This trap allows me to attach it to your monster. He can no longer switch his mode or attack, and as long as this trap is in play, you lose 500 life points during your Standby Phase!" A gigantic brown solid wheel with some green then appeared on Blue's field, and it then reached out with ropes, instantly grabbing the samurai. He was then drawn into the wheel and strapped down to where he couldn't move an inch.
Growling lightly, Blue said "I'll place one card face down and end my turn." (Hige 8000, Blue 7500)
Hige only smirked and drew his next card, saying "You're not doing too well Blue. After all that training, you still are horrible. But don't worry, I won't let you suffer too long, because I feel I owe you that much. I now summon Raging Flame Sprite (100 + 500 600/200) in attack mode!" A kid looking monster with a large brown hat that looked like a wizard hat, a green shirt and shoes, and brown shorts and wielding at small handheld staff appeared on the field. His forehead glowed green shortly afterwards, making his eyes turn red.
"This monster has a very nice special ability. It is allowed to direct attack, and for each successful attack, he gains 1000 attack points! So, let's get down to it. Raging Flame Sprite, attack Blue directly with Raging Flame Burst!" The kid pointed his staff at Blue and smirked and released a blast of hot flames from his staff.
With the flames a short distance away, Blue called out "No way is that happening, for I activate the trap card Negate Attack! Like the card says, it now negates your attack, and ends your Battle Phase." A small black hole then appeared out in front of the oncoming blast, seemingly absorbing it and making it completely vanish.
A light growl filled Hige's throat, but he calmed down quickly and said "Very well Blue, I'll place one card face down and then I'll move to my End Phase then, which now allows my two dragons to do 500 points of damage each to you! Use your Solar Flare Beams my two dragons!" Each dragon roared in response and shot flaming hot energy at Blue. She was struck hard and screamed out in pain as the heat surrounded her. The flames finally died down, and she fell to her knees, lightly whimpering in pain.
"You should have accepted my offer Blue! Now you'll only suffer due to your own stupidity and loyalty to those fools. I end my move, so hurry up and stand back up so I can finish you." (Hige 8000, Blue 6500)
"Blue, please get up." Vash called out gently, hoping she would rise once again.
Blue looked over to see it was Vash calling for her to stand up, but she felt like lying down. The duel was draining her physically, and mentally, Hige was pushing her to her breaking points. She cared about him, but only as a friend.
Slowly, she stood back up, saying "I'm not finished yet Hige. I can't, and won't give up, so don't think you can make me! Now here I go!"
She quickly picked up her next card and smiled at it, but before she could say a thing, Hige said "Don't forget Blue, my Nightmare Wheel now costs you 500 life points during your Standby Phase."
The wheel let out a small moan as it stretched the samurai, making him cry out in pain. Growling lightly, Blue then lightly smirked and said "I play the spell card Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards."
After quickly picking up two cards, her smile broadened as she said "You're in trouble now Hige. I now play the spell card Polymerization, allowing me to fuse together The Forgiving Maiden and Marie the Fallen One to form St. Joan (2800/2000) in attack mode!" A woman in black and a dark angel creature appeared on the field and then swirled together. A woman with short light brown hair, white armor, and a sword held in her hands then appeared in their place and let out a small cry.
Hige only yelled "You're cheating! Those monsters aren't in your deck!"
Smirking, Blue replied "You're right, they're not in my wind deck, but I've changed it. These monsters are in my deck now, so get over it. I'm not through yet though. I now play the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon, allowing me to destroy that Nightmare Wheel!" A cyclone of wind struck the wheel, making it release it's grip on the samurai, who gladly dropped back down to the field in a defensive stance.
"Now I switch my Sasuke Samurai #4 to attack mode. And now, I'll summon from my hand Hoshiningen (500/700) in attack mode." A golden star shaped creature with a smile on it's face and scrunched up eyes then appeared on the field.
"And it's time for Hoshiningen's special ability. Now he grants all light monsters an additional 500 attack points (1000/700) (3300/2000)." The small star creature smile widened as it let out a shining light that struck the woman in white armor, which made her glow slightly. The star creature itself glowed with power as well.
"Time to put your fire out, once and for all! I play the spell card Smashing Ground, allowing me to destroy one of your Solar Flare Dragons!" A huge hand flew down from the sky, smashing into one of the molten lava dragons. It roared in pain as it exploded into millions of pieces.
"Now you're wide open! Attack his Raging Flame Sprite now Hoshiningen with Star Shower Strike!" The small star flew up into the air above the small boy and then went spinning down at the kid.
As it neared, Hige called out "I activate the trap Backfire! Now when a Fire attribute monster is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you lose 500 more life points!"
Blue could only growl as she watched the star monster continued on it's path. With a rapid spin, the star struck the child, making it easily explode. A surge of flaming energy then rushed across the field, striking Blue. She lightly cried out in pain, but remained strong.
Slightly growling, she soon said "You may do me some damage, but I'm not done yet! Since I no longer have to worry about your dragon's ability, my St. Joan can attack. Joan, attack Solar Flare Dragon with Saint Slash!" The woman lifted up her sword and charged forward. With a single sweep of her sword, the molten dragon's head fell to the floor and exploded, but a surge of flames swept across the field, striking Blue head on. Again, she cried out in pain, but managed to remain standing.
After the smoke cleared, Blue said "I'm not finished yet, for now I'll have Sasuke Samurai direct attack with Samurai Staff Slash!" The small samurai let out a small cry and ran towards Hige. He then vanished as he approached, and reappeared directly behind Hige a moment later. Hige then cried out in pain as five slash marks appeared in red on his body.
With an innocent school girl giggle, Blue said "That'll do it for me. Better think of something fast Hige before I beat you." (Hige 5100, Blue 5000)
Hige growled loudly and drew, but he growled loudly again and yelled "I summon Battle Footballer (1000 + 500 1500/2100) in defensive mode" A machine monster with an orange helmet, red shoulder pads, and green on his chest and pants then appeared. The machine then took a crouching defensive stance.
With a snarl, Hige said "I end my move." (Hige 5100, Blue 5000)
Watching on, Toboe said to Kiba "He's losing his focus."
Kiba only nodded, saying "Yes, he won't be able to win unless he gets his attention back in the duel."
Toboe turned to Kiba and then said "Aren't you going to try to tell him to get focused?"
Shaking his head, Kiba replied "Let him make his own mistakes. This is a personal game for him, and he's fighting with raw emotion. If I interfere, it won't help."
Sighing, Toboe nodded and turned back to the duel. "I just hope he wins." he whispered.
On the other side of the field, Vash lightly smiled, saying "She's going to do it. Blue is going to win, I know it."
Illidan only looked over at his friend, seeing that it was a worried smile at the same time. "He remembers Marie's duel. She had it won, but backed down. I don't know if Blue will back down or not though. She seems intent on going all the way."
Back on the field, Blue drew and smiled, saying "First, I gain 200 life points thanks to Marie the Fallen One's special ability during my Standby Phase. Next I'll place one card face down, and switch my Hoshiningen to defense mode. Now I'll have Sasuke Samurai #4 attack your Battle Footballer!" The samurai rushed forward, lance ready to attack it's target.
Hige only laughed, saying "You're a fool! Your monster doesn't have enough attack points to even scratch my monster!"
Blue only smirked and replied "That's where you're wrong Hige. Sasuke has a very special ability. When he battles with a monster, I get to flip a coin. If I call it right, the monster he battles is instantly destroyed by his effect. If I call it wrong though, the battle continues as normal. So, let's see if I can call it right. I call heads!" A huge coin then appeared on the field. It was about three foot wide in diameter, and had an eye on one side and a triangle on the other. It flipped through the air and finally fell back to the earth. It landed with the eye face up, which represented heads.
"Yes, now my samurai's effect kicks in! Sasuke, attack with Silent Samurai Slash!" The samurai continued it's charge forward and then vanished. When he reappeared again, he was behind the machine monster. Slash marks then appeared on the machine as it groaned and fell apart in five pieces, then exploding. When the explosion happened though, a burst of hot flames raced across the field, striking Blue as before. She screamed in agony as the fires surrounded her, making her cringe in pain, but she stayed strong. Once the flames died down, she reappeared with her arms still crossed.
"You may have burned me some there, Hige, but I'm about to really burn you up! Joan, attack him directly with Saint Slash!" The woman in white armor charged forward, sword ready to strike. She quickly landed a slash with one sweep of her sword, making Hige cry out in pain himself. He remained standing, but was definitely weaker from the attack.
"That'll end my move. It's your go Hige." (Hige 1800, Blue 4700)
Hige only snarled as he drew his card. His snarl then quieted as he smirked at the card and said "I play Pot of Greed, drawing two new cards to my hand. Next, I'll play the spell card Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three more cards so long as I discard two from my hand when I'm done. I'll send Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch and my third Solar Flare Dragon to the Graveyard. Now I'll play the spell card Pot of Avarice, allowing me to send five monsters from my Graveyard to my deck. I then shuffle and redraw two new cards. So, I send my three Solar Flare Dragons, Battle Footballer, and Raging Flame Sprite to my deck, and shuffle. Now I draw two new cards."
Smirking at his new hand, Hige said "I now play the spell card Premature Burial, allowing me to give up 800 life points to special summon a monster from my Graveyard to the field in attack mode, and since I only have one, I bring back Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch (2400 + 500 2900/1000) to the field!" A red armored monster with what looked like his head wrapped in metal appeared. He had a blue piece of fabric hanging off his legs that went around covering his rear. In his left hand flames shot out, showing he was definitely a wielder of fire.
"I'm not finished yet, for now I summon UFO Turtle (1400 + 500 1900/1200) in attack mode!" A UFO then appeared on the field. Slowly, four green feet extended out from the inside of the UFO, and at last a head poked out. The green creature was a turtle, and now wielded the green seal on it's forehead.
"UFO Turtle, attack Hoshiningen with Flaming Space Breath!" The turtle opened it's jaws to release a burst of flames onto the field that looked like it could melt anything.
Before the blast hit though, Blue said "Not so fast Hige, I have a trap! I reveal Waboku, allowing me to block your attack and save my monster." Three mages in blue robes then appeared on the field, each holding out a hand. The flames were quickly quelled, leaving Hige back at square one.
He smirked though and said "I place one card face down and end my move." (Hige 1000, Blue 4700)
Drawing, Blue only pondered why Hige went to all the trouble to summon the monsters he had out. "None of them are strong enough to take out St. Joan, so why bother?"
Sighing, Blue looked at her card and said "First, I gain back 200 life points thanks to Marie the Fallen One's special ability during my Standby Phase. Now I'll switch Sasuke Samurai #4 to defense mode, and summon Luster Dragon (1900/1600) in defense mode." A blue sapphire dragon appeared on the field with it's arms crossed in a defensive stance.
"Now Joan, attack Thestalos with Saint Slash!" The woman in white armor charged forward as usual, sword ready to strike. With a simple motion, the battle was over as the red armored monster exploded into millions of pieces, but not before releasing a burst of flames at Blue, which made her cry out in pain as usual. She stood her ground though, not allowing the flames to push her back.
Smirking, Hige said "Not bad Blue, but I have a trap! I reveal the trap The Grave of Enkindling, and here is how it works. Since my monster just bit the big one, we each get to now special summon one monster from our Graveyard's to the field in defense mode. Of course, for the duration of the duel, the monster can't switch it's mode, but it's worth it. I now special summon back Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch (2900/1000) in defense mode." The red armored monster then reappeared on the field in a crouching position with his arms out protectively.
Blue looked at her Graveyard for a moment and finally said "I bring back my The Forgiving Maiden (850 + 500 1350/2000) in defense mode." A woman dressed in black with an odd hat on her head then appeared on the field in a sitting position.
"That'll do it for now Hige, so go ahead and make your move." (Hige 600, Blue 4400)
