Chapter 23: The Grand Duel Part 2
Jaden and the others cheered after seeing Obelisk's defeat. "One down, two more to go." Ayato exclaimed.
"Don't celebrate just yet, Obelisk is the weakest of the three." Exion replied.
"Really!?" Syrus and Jaden looked at eachother confused.
"I play Pot of Greed to draw two more cards, then I place three cards face down and end my turn." Exion says.
"Alright Dark Magician attack Exion directly." Ayato orders.
"I activate my face down Enchanted Javelin, so now I don't lose any life points."
"Alright, Dark Magician Girl attack!"
"I activate another Enchanted Javelin." Exion says, protecting himself from losing any life points.
"Man this is getting old, Dark Blade attack!" Dark Blade charges at Exion and slashes him with one of his swords.
Ayato: 2400/ Exion: 1100
"It won't be long before I summon Slifer." Exion comments.
"Yeah, yeah, just make your move already." Ayato says, not believing him.
"I summon Lekunga(1700/1500) in attack mode." Exion says as a giant plant with many tentacles and an eyeball in it's center emerges on the field. "And that's it for my turn."
"Good, now Dark Magician attack Lekunga with DARK MAGIC ATTACK!"
"I activate my face down, Negate Attack!" The blast of energy slams into the protective barrier, causing the attack to fail. "You really shouldn't underestimate me Ayato." Exion replies.
"I'm not, but I think your underestimating me." Ayato comments.
"Of course, I play Change of Heart to take over your Dark Magician, then I play Cost down, this card downgrades all my monster cards in my hand by two levels."
"That's definately not good." Ayato says.
"Not for you it isn't, by sacrificing Lekunga and Dark Magician I summon Slifer the Sky Dragon(X000/X000)!" The sky begins to darken as a giant red dragon with two mouths descends from the sky. Slifer's attack points are determined by the number of cards in my hand, but since I only have one, he only has 1000 attack points."
Ayato begins to laugh, "Only 1000, he's not much of a threat."
"Now I play Raigeki!" A giant bolt of thunder destroys Ayato's monster.
Ayato still has a smile on his face, "Now your monster has no attack points."
Exion justs grins.
"We'll see how long that grin stays on your face, I summon Neo the Magical Swordsman(1700/1000)." Ayato says. A warrior with long blonde hair, silver armor, blue cape, and a sword appears on the field.
"THUNDER-SUMMONING BLAST!" Slifer's second upper mouth opens and a blast of thunder erupts from it and reduces Neo's attack points to zero, it is then destroyed.
"My monster?" Ayato says surprised.
"Slifer's special ability, each time you summon a monster in attack or defense mode those stats are reduced by 2000 points, if the attack or defense of that monster is reduced to zero by this effect, then that monster is destroyed." Exion replies.
"Fine, I play Poison of the Old Man to gain 1200 extra life points."
Ayato: 3600/ Exion: 1100
"And I'll end my turn."
"There is no chance of victory Ayato." Exion says.
"Well we've only started, so we won't know that until the duel is over." Ayato comments.
"It's my turn, I place one monster card face down, and end my turn."
Ayato looked at the cards in his hand, "I've got to find a way to destroy Slifer, I summon Big Shield Guardna(100/2600) in defense mode."
"THUNDER-SUMMONING BLAST!" Exion declares. Big Shield Guardna's defense is reduced by 2000 points.
"I place one card face down and end my turn." Ayato says.
"It's time for Slifer to put an end to this duel, I flip my face down monster card face up, Morphing Jar(700/600), this card makes us discard all cards in our hands and then draw five cards from our decks."
Syrus begins to panic, "But that means Slifer has 5000 attack points, if Morphing Jar destroys Ayato's monster than Slifer will destroy him."
"Now Morphing Jar take care of Big Shield Guardna." Exion orders.
"I activate my spell card, the Reliable Guardian, this card raises my monsters defense points by 700." Ayato says as his face-down card flipped upward. Morphing Jar is knocked away by Big Shield Guardna.
Ayato: 3600/ Exion: 500
"Well Slifer will just have to do it, LIGHTNING BLAST!" Exion commands. A blast of thunder instanly incinerates Ayato's monster. Your life points are saved for this turn, but it won't be long before I destroy you."
"That's what you think, I play the spell card Climax Hour!"
"Just what does that do?" Exion asks.
"Oh you'll see, now I place one card face down, next I play Tribute to the Doomed, I destroy your Morphing Jar by discarding one card from my hand, which allows me to activate my face down, Forced Requisition."
"Are you done yet?" Exion asks.
"Sure, now let's see what you got." Ayato replies.
"See what I got, you have no monsters on the field, Slifer attack him directly." A giant blast of energy slams into Ayato.
"Hah, nice try but I discarded Kuriboh from my hand to turn battle damage to zero, and since I discarded a card Forced Requisiton activates, which means you have to discard one too."
"Which means dropping Slifer's attack points, that is so sweet!" Jaden exclaims.
"I play Poison of the Old Man to raise my life points by 1200, then I play another Poison of the Old Man."
Ayato: 3600/ Exion: 2900
"Slifer is going down right now, I activate a trap card Rope of Life, Slifer may not have any attack points left, but that does'nt mean he can't reduce your Magician's attack points by 2000 points."
"That's all right, it's still enough to destroy Slifer with DARK MAGIC ATTACK!"
The Dark Magician twirls his staff before shooting a powerful blast of dark magic destroying Slifer.
Ayato: 3600/ Exion: 1600
"Well that's two down, one more to go."
"Way to go Ayato, that was awesome!" Jaden and Syrus said in unison.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Ayato, I summon Dark Jeroid(1200/1500) in attack mode." A hideously mutated creature appears on the field. "His special abilty decreases your Dark Magician's attack by 800 points, now attack him with SAVAGE SLASH!"
Dark Jeroid cuts the Dark Magician asunder.
Ayato: 2900/ Exion: 1600
"Now it's my turn which means Climax Hour activates, I can ignore a monster's summon requirements and summon it to the field, and I summon Gearfried the Swordmaster(2600/2200), now get rid of Dark Jeroid with CYCLONE SLASH!"
Gearfried jumps and slams his sword into the ground creating a cyclone that rips through Dark Jeroid.
Ayato: 2900/ Exion: 200
"That's it, no more playing around, it's time for you to see my true terrifying power."
"Well let's see it, it's your move." Ayato says, unconvinced.
"I place one card face down and end my turn." Exion finishes.
"Alright then, Gearfried destroy the rest of his life points with CYCLONE SLASH!"
"I activate my trap card Draining Shield."
Gearfried's cyclone is absorbed by the shield.
Ayato: 2900/ Exion: 3200
"Now that your turn is over, I place another card face down and end my turn." Exion says.
"Another trap, alright I'll bite, Gearfried attack." Ayato declares.
"I activate my trap card Nightmare Wheel, as long as this card remains face up on the field your monster can't attack or change it's battle position, during each of your standby phases, this card will inflict 500 points of damage to you."
"Well it's your draw." Ayato said.
"I play Monster Reincarnation to bring back a monster from my graveyard back to my hand, then I summon that monster in face down defense position." Exion finishes.
"Alright it's my draw." Ayato says as he draws a card from his deck.
Ayato: 2400/ Exion: 3200
"I summon Ancient Elf(1450/1200), now attack Exion's face down monster with MAGICAL BLAST!"
The monster was revealed to be Morphing Jar, which was instantly destroyed.
"Morphing Jar's special ability activates, we discard all the cards in our hands and draw five cards from our decks." Exion says as he and Ayato draw five new cards from their respective decks.
"I place one card face down and end my turn, so now it's your turn, maybe you'll actually be able to do something now that you have some cards in your hand." Ayato comments.
"I play Swords of Revealing Light, then I summon Granadora(1900/1700, it's special ability increases my life points by 1000."
Ayato: 2400/ Exion: 4200
A strange reptilian like creature appears on the field.
'With that Swords of Revealing Light on the field I won't be able to attack for a little while.'
"It's your move Ayato."
Ayato drew a crad.
Ayato: 1900/ Exion: 4200
It was Mystical Space Typhoon. 'Should I destroy his Swords of Revealing Light or his Nightmare Wheel?'
"Um Jaden, why didn't Exion attack Ayato's monster." Syrus asks.
"Maybe because of that face down card." Jaden replies.
"I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Nightmare Wheel, then I play Dian Keto the Cure Master to gain 1000 extra life points."
Ayato: 2900/ Exion: 4200
"And finally I switch Ancient Elf to defense mode and end my turn."
"Just one more turn before I summon Ra, but for now I summon Makura (1600/1200) and end my turn." Exion declares.
"I summon Mystical Elf(800/2000) in defense mode and end my turn." Ayato says as a blue smiling elf appears before him.
"I play Snatch Steal to take control of your Swordmaster, then I sacrifice all three monsters to summon the Winged Dragon of Ra."
A giant golden sphere appears on the field.
"Now I lose 2000 life points from Granadora's special effect."
Ayato: 2900/ Exion: 2200
Exion begins speaking in Hieratic text and the golden sphere morphs into the Winged Dragon of Ra.
"So what's his attack points?" Ayato asked curiously.
"Ra's attack points are the sum of the attacks of the monsters used to summon him, same thing goes for defense, which means Ra's stats are 6100/4100."
"That's a lot of attack points." Ayato comments.
"Ra attack Ancient Elf with PHOENIX BLAST!" Exion commands. A giant wave of fire consumes Ancient Elf.
"You won't beat me, I play another Climax Hour, then I place two cards face down." Ayato finishes.
"It won't help, Ra destroy his Mystical Elf!"
"I activate my trap card Draining Shield."
Ayato: 9000/ Exion: 2200
"You are saved this time."
"I place another card face down, and end my turn."
"Destroy Mystical Elf with PHOENIX BLAST."
Mystical Elf is also consumed in the flames.
Ayato looked at his hand, he would be able to win the duel next turn.
"I end my turn."
"Now you will feel the almighty power of Ra, PHOENIX BLAST!"
A giant blast of fire hits Ayato.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Ayato falls unto the ground.
Ayato: 2900/ Exion: 2200
Exion snickers, "It hurts doesn't it."
Ayato slowly gets up, "You won't win."
"We'll see, I play Mystical Space Typhoon to get rid of your Climax Hour."
"No you don't, I activate my face down Magic Jammer, by discarding one card from my hand I can negate the activation of a spell card and destroy it."
Exion glared at Ayato.
"And since I stopped a spell card I can special summon Dark King Dragon Vandorgaron(2800/2500)!"
Everyone looked at the giant menacing looking dragon once it emerged from the card.
"Since when did Ayato get that card?" Akari says.
"This monster can be special summoned depending on what I counter, and it has three special effects that depend on what I counter, since I countered a spell card he deals 1500 points of damage to you!"
Ayato: 2900/ Exion: 700
Exion's glare intensified.
"Now it's my turn and the end of the duel, Climax Hour activates so now I can summon Sorcerer of Dark Magic(3200/2800), then I play Monster Reborn to bring back Dark Magician Girl(2000/1700), next I remove one light and dark monster to summon Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning(3000/2500), then I activate my trap card Return from the Different Dimension, by paying half of my life points I can summon all monsters that were removed from play, so my Dark Magician is back on the field."
Ayato: 1450/ Exion: 700
"Did you get all that?"
"Yes I did, but none of those monsters can defeat my Egyptian God."
"But I can change that, I activate my face down United We Stand, for every face up monster I control my Black Luster Soldier gains 800 attack points, and I have four exculding him, so now his attack points are 6200!"
The Black Luster Soldier's armor turns a shining gold.
"Now destroy his Egyptian God!"
The Black Luster Soldier jumps high into the air and stabs Ra right between the eyes, and with a mighty cry Ra is destroyed.
Ayato: 1450/ Exion: 600
"Now I activate his special ability which allows him to attack again!"
Black Luster Soldier stabs Exion in the chest.
Ayato: 1450/ Exion: 0
Everyone cheers as Exion falls to his knees.
"It can't end this way, beaten by a kid."
The Millenuim Puzzle begins to glow.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The evil spirit is pulled from Exion's body and is destroyed.
Ayato sighed a sigh of relief as he fell to the ground, "It's all over."
"Hey look it's a box." Syrus points t o a small box.
Ayato springs to his feet and picks the box up, he opens the box to see cards inside.
"These are the cards that contains people's souls, I can release them."
Yugi picks up the remainder of the Millenuim Items, 'Something tells me that this is only the calm before the storm.'
Yugi turned around to see Kaiba behind him.
Kaiba smirks, "Like father...like son."
Yugi smiles.
The Next Day
Jaden, Syrus, Akari, Anna, and Alexis were all talking to eachother.
"Well everything's back to normal." Jaden says.
"As normal as things get around here." Alexis says.
"Where's Ayato?" Anna asks.
"He said that he was coming." Akari replies.
"What's up guys."
The group turns around to see Ayato wearing an Obelisk Blue uniform.
"So how do I look?" Ayato asked.
"You look good in blue." Anna replies.
"Since when did you become an Obelisk Blue?" Akari askes.
"Since I beat the three Egyptian Gods, I think I deserve something for being the second person to defeat all three Egyptian Gods."
"What do you mean the second person?" The others asked.
"Oh, did I say second, I meant to say first."
Everyone just shrugged.
'Man that was close.' Ayato thought to himself.
"I can't wait for the new students to get here next school year." Jaden says.
"Yeah me neither." Ayato agrees.
"Well I gotta go." Anna walks over to Ayato and kisses him on the cheek before running off.
"Why you litte-" Akari darts off after Anna.
Everyone's sweat drop.
"Well we better go to, don't want to be late for class." Alexis says.
Jaden, Syrus, and Ayato nod their heads.
"Well let's go."
Jaden and Syrus walk off after Alexis.
Ayato turns around to see a black coated figure.
"So you won, did you use the card I gave you?"
Ayato nodded, "Yeah I did." Ayato gives Dark King Dragon Vandorgaron back to the person.
"You will have to overcome many challenges Ayato, don't think it's all over, it has only begun."
"Who are you?"
"Someone from the dark." The black coated figure vanishes.
Ayato runs off after his friends. 'I hope she's wrong.'
The Next School Year
Jaden, Syrus(in his new Ra Yellow uniform), and Ayato look on with excitement as the new students prepare to duel.
"This is going to be so sweet."
"Yeah tell me about it, I can't wait to see what they've got."
"Hey Ayato!"
Ayato looks over to see Hikari waving at him.
"What are you doing here?"
"Kaiba offered me a job here so now I get to see you everyday."
Hikari grabbed Ayato and hugged him.
"Hikari...I..can't..breathe."
"Huh, oh sorry." Hikari let Ayato go.
Ayato gasped for air.
Outside Duel Academy
A spikey haired teen was making his way towards Duel Academy with a frown on his face.
'So this is Duel Acadamey, they won't know what hit em.'
