Chapter 6: A Weird Day Part 2

Jadden: 4000/CM: 4000

"Alright my draw, first I'll play Elemental Hero Clayman(800/2000), in defense mode, and then I'll throw down a face down." The hero made of stone appeared before Jaden, crouching defensively.

CM smirked. "I'll play Force Raider(1900/1200) in attack mode, then I'll play Axe of Despair, raising my monster attack points to 2900, now my Force Raider attack his Clayman!" The fiendish monster charged at Jaden's, it's axe raised above it's head.

"Not so fast cloak dude, I activate my face down, Negate Attack!"

CM frowned as his monster bounced off the shield the trap card produced. "I'll play one card face down and end my turn."

Akari shrugged her shoulders. "What an amatuer."

Jaden drew another card. "I play Polymerization and fuse Elemental Clayman with Elemental Hero Sparkman to create Elemental Hero Thunder Giant(ATK:2400), thanks to his special abilty, your monster is automatically destroyed because his original attack points are lower than Thunder Giant's." Jaden smirked.
"I wouldn't want to be you right now, Thunder Giant attack!" The powerful fusion monster unleashed a blast of eletrical energy.

Jayden: 4000/CM: 1600

And then I'll throw down two face downs." CM's arms and legs started to fade away.

'So this really is a shadow game', Ayato thought.

CM drew a card and smiled. "I play Dark Hole, say good bye to your monster, then I play Dian Keto the Cure Master to gain 1000 life points. Next I play Batteryman AA(Attack:0)."

Jaden: 4000/CM: 2600

Jaden looked confused. "What can he do, he has no attack points!"

CM chuckled. "I now play Inferno Reckless Summon, so now I can bring out my other two Batteryman AA out unto the field, and thanks to his special ability, they all gain 3000 attack points!"

Alexis gasped, 3000 attack points!"

"First Batteryman AA destroy his Thunder Giant." The first monster slammed into the larger one, shattering it.

Jayden: 3200/CM: 2600

"Now my second Batteryman AA destroy him!"

"Not so fast, I play Hero Spirit, whenever a Elemental Hero is destroyed, I can play this to turn all battle damage this turn to zero."

CM frowned. "Then I put one card face down, and end my turn."

Jaden's left leg began to fade. "I play Elemenatl Hero Bubbleman, and when he's in defense mode I can sacrifce him to summon any Elemental Hero, and I choose good ol' Bladedge."

CM laughed.

"I'm not done yet, now I use Polymerization to fuse my Bladedge with Elemental Hero Wildheart to create Elemental Hero Wildedge(ATK:2600)!"

CM laughed once again.

"I'm still not finished, I play Skyscraper, this field card will give my Wildedge 1000 extra attack points, and thanks to his special abilty, I can attack all your monsters at once, but first, I'll throw down a face down."

Alexis smiled, Jaden truly was a great duelist.

"Now Elemental Hero Wildedge attack!"

CM smirked. "Not so fast, I activate the trap card Anamorphic Barrier, when I have three or more monsters on the field, it negates your attack and ends the battle phase."

"I knew you were going to do that, I activate Trap Jammer, ths card destroys a trap card activated in the battle phase."

All three of the Batterymen are destroyed by being cut asunder.

Jaden: 3200/CM: 800

CM was now short of legs and arms, being nothing more than a head and a torso. "That was very clever of you."

Jaden grinned sheepishly.

CM drew a card. "I play Card Destruction, both of us have to discard the cards in our hands and then keep drawing until we have the same amount of cards we had in our hands originally, then I play Tribute to the Doomed, I discard one card in my hand to destroy your monster, then I play Mystical Space Typhoon and remove your Skyscraper field card, and I'll end my turn with one card face down."

"Alright my turn, I'll play Elemental Hero Avian(1000/1000)." The green hero appeared on the field.

"I activate my trap card Compulsory Evacuation Device, this card returns your Avian back to your hand." CM replied.

"Oh well, I'll just throw down a face down."

CM drew a card and laughed. "This is it, it is all over for you kid, I remove one light monster and one dark monster from my graveyard to play Choas Emperor Dragon-Envoy of the End(3000/2500), and before you say I never played any, remember Card Destruction?" CM once again laughed. "Now my monster, attack!" The large dragon unleashed a wave of pure energy that washed over Jaden's field.

Jaden takes the attack head on. After the blast Jaden falls to his knees. 'Man that really hurt!'

Jaden: 200/CM: 800

Jaden was now nothing more than a floating head, the rest of his body was fading away. "Alright my turn, I play the field card Fusion Gate, as long as this card stays on the field, I can play a fusion monster without using Polymerization, and I choose Elemental Hero Flame Wingman, then I play Fusion Weapon, this card raises my monster's attack points by 1500, making it 3600!"

CM growled, he knew all about Flame Wingman's special ability. 'I didn't want to do this, but I have to.'

"I activate the trap card Destruction Ring, I destroy my monster, in order to inflict 1000 points of damage to the both of us!" CM's powerful monster exploded in a massive explosion, taking the two duelists life points with it.

Jaden: 0/CM: 0

Jaden's body reappeared, as did CM. CM smirked. "It seems I have underestimated you, rest assured it won't happen again." CM frowned. "Next time we meet, I will not go so easy on you, you all will be lost to the shadows forever, as my Master so wishes it."

"What about my deck?" Ayato asked.

CM chuckled. "I think I'll hold on to it for a while." And with that he pulled out a small silver ball. Ayato rushed towards him. As soon as he was no more than 12 inches away from him, CM threw the ball down, producing a think cloud of smoke.
When the smoke finally cleared, there was no sign of CM or Ayato.

Jaden ran to the spot where they had vanished. "Where did they go?"

"This is horrible", Anna said. Jaden turned around to face the three girls. "C'mon we have to find them, they could be anywhere." Jaden, Alexis, Anna, and Akari ran out of the abandoned dorm.

A figure of a person watched them leave. "This is not good, it has begun too soon, I must tell the others."
