Chapter 37: Trapped With The Enemy
Ed smirks, "Now I'll send your Shining Flare Wingman two turns into the future." Shining Flare Wingman fades away.
"The power of D-Hero is to manipulate the fate of the future. Lucky for you my Devil Guy can't attack this turn. I place one card face down and end my turn."
Jaden draws a card. Ed says, "I activate the first movement of the Clocktower Prison." The time moves from 12:00 to 3:00.
"What does that mean?" Syrus asks.
"I don't know, but I feel kinda weird." Ayato replies. Everyone nods in agreement.
"The countdown to your destiny has already started, you can't escape from the fate of defeat."
"I don't believe in all that destiny stuff, only I can determine my future. I summon Wroughtweiler(800/1200) in attack mode, now destroy his Devil Guy, Feral Pounce!"
Wroughtweiler jumps onto Devil Guy slamming it into dust.
Ed: 1600/ Jaden: 2800
"I activate my trap card, Destiny Signal!" Ed declares.
'That card kinda looks like my Hero Signal card.' Jaden thinks to himself.
"This card's effect allows me to summon a D-Hero with four or less stars from my hand or deck onto the field when a monster is destroyed in battle, and I choose D-Hero Diehard Guy(800/800), it's special effect allows me to summon a monster destroyed this turn in my next standby phase."
'Reviving a monster in the future?' Jaden thinks to himself.
"Now I'll use Diehard Guy's special effect to bring back Devil Guy, next I'll summon D-Hero Diamond Guy(1400/1600) in attack mode. His special effect allows me to show the top card on my deck to you, if it is a magic card I place it into my graveyard and activate it next turn."
"Okay then. Let's see what you get." Jaden says.
Ed pulls the card, "It's the spell card Misfortune. Which means I put it in my graveyard and I'll activate it next turn."
"If his card is in the graveyard then it's impossible to counter it." Alexis says.
"The power of the D-Hero series, it's very interesting." Bastion says.
"Now Diamond Guy attack and destroy his Wroughtweiler!" Diamond Guy shoots shards of diamond that instantly destroy Wroughtweiler.
Ed: 1600/ Jaden: 2200
"I activate the effect of Wroughtweiler, which lets me bring back Polymerization and a Hero monster from my graveyard."
"My attack still stands Jaden, Diehard Guy attack him directly." Diehard Guy charges Jaden and hits him in the gut.
Ed: 1600/ Jaden: 1400
"And I'll end my turn with a face down." Ed declares.
Jaden draws a card. The Clocktower Prison's time moves to 6:00. "I summon E-Hero Bubbleman in attack mode, and thanks to his special effect I can draw two cards." Jaden draws two cards from his deck.
"Now I'll equip him with Bubble Blaster, giving him 1600 attack points! And I'll use it to attack your D-Hero Diehard Guy!"
"I activate my face down, D-Shield, this card switches my monster to defense mode and as long as this card is equipped to my monster it can't be destroyed as a result of battle. Simply put, it's an invulnerable shield."
"Very impressive." Dr. Crowler states.
"Isn't that cheating?" Hikari askes.
Dr. Crowler's sweat dropped. "Um, no."
"Well I can't do anything else, so it's your turn." Jaden says.
"Well since two turns have passed your Shining Flare Wingman returns to the field according to my Devil Guy's effect." Ed says.
Shining Flare Wingman returns to Jaden's side of the field. "Good to have you back." Jaden says happily.
"I'll remind you that the effect of Misfortune activates this turn. I feel sorry for you, even though I can't attack this turn, Misfortune allows me to choose your own monster that will attack you, with half of their attack points of course."
Shining Flare Wingman turns around to face Jaden. Jaden's sweat drops.
"Oh boy." Jaden is blinded by the intense light, his life points reducing in the process.
Ed: 1600/ Jaden: 150
"And now I'll send your Shining Flare Wingman two turns into the future again using Devil Guy's special effect." Ed says as the Shining Flare Wingman begins to fade away.
"So he planned this combo attack on Jaden, he is good." Ayato says.
"He's sealing off Jaden's normal way to attack." Bastion adds.
Jaden draws a card, the clock's time is now 9:00.
"It's impossible for you to struggle when your destiny has already been decided." Ed says.
Jaden begins to laugh. Ed looks suprised. Along with everyone else.
"Man those new heros are cool. I wonder how many other series they have."
Jaden says happily.
Ed frowns, "D-Hero is the only other Hero series and it is the ultimate form of Hero."
"There are D and E heros so why wouldn't the other letters get their own series of heros too?" Jaden says. Ed seems annoyed by Jaden's positive attitude.
"Now I'll attack your Devil Guy with my Bubbleman, attack with Bubble Shot!" Bubbleman shoots a blast of water that destroys Devil Guy.
Ed: 800/ Jaden: 150
"It doesn't matter, I'll just use my Diehard Guy's special abilty to bring him back next turn."
"I'll end my turn by summoning E-Hero Clayman in defense mode."
"Now it is my turn, Diehard Guy brings back Devil Guy with his special effect. Next I'll use Diamond Guy's special effect, I'll show you the top card of my deck, it's the spell card Magic Stone Excavation, now I'll put it into my graveyard and activate it's effect next turn."
"This is all so confusing." Hikari says.
"Now I'll activate Devil Guy's special effect to send your Bubbleman two turns into the future. Next I'll equip Diehard Guy with Ring of Magnetism, his defense points are decreased, but you can now only attack it."
"Jaden's in trouble now." Anna says.
"Since my Diehard Guy is an invulnerable shield thanks to D-Shield what do you plan to do?" Ed asks smirking.
Jaden's facial expression turns serious as he draws a card. The clock's time changes to 12:00. "I play Polymerization to fuse E-Hero Wildman and E-Hero Necroshade to create E-Hero Necro Shaman."
Ed smirks, "His power is worthless compared to my D-Hero."
"I activate his special effect to remove your Diehard Guy and bring back your Avian unto your side of the field."
"That means Jaden will win with his next attack!" Syrus says.
"Now attack his Devil Guy!" Necriod Shaman spins his staff and a beam of magical energy creates a massive explosion.
"What! Nothing happened!" Syrus exclaims.
"I pity you Jaden. No matter what kind of attack you use you can't change your destiny of defeat. The effect of my Clocktower Prison has activated, counting the turn it was activated and your four standby phases, that makes five turns, so I don't lose any life points in battle."
"I throw down two face downs." Jaden declares ending his turn.
"That Clocktower sure is a great card." Chazz says.
"This is not good for Jaden, his Shining Flare Wingman will return this turn." Bastion exclaims. Shining Flare Wingman returns to Jaden's field once Ed draws his card.
"The effect of Magic Stone Excavation allows Ed to retrieve a spell card from his graveyard, he will surely use Misfortune again"
Bastion states.
"If Ed activates Misfortune then Jaden will lose the duel." Alexis adds.
"Now I activate the effect of Magic Stone Excavation, by sending two cards to the graveyard I get back Misfortune, now I'll use it to make your Shining Flare Wingman attack you with half of it's attack points again."
"I knew you would do that, I activate my two face downs, De-Fusion and Burial From Another Dimension! Since E-Hero Sparkman and E-Hero Flame Wingman are removed from play Burial From Another Dimension brings them back, and then I am able to use De-Fusion to unfuse my Shining Flare Wingman back to Sparkman and Flame Wingman."
"Man, I wish I could duel like that." Exion says. "Yeah, me too"
Syrus says.
"I end my turn." Ed states.
Jaden draws a card, "I play the field spell card Fusion Gate. So say goodbye to your Clocktower!"
As the clocktower buildings begin to collapse Ed smirks, "When the Clocktower Prison is destroyed I'm allowed to summon D-Hero Dread Guy (?)." A huge muscle bound humanoid monster appears on the field, it has long black hair with a helmet covering it's face. It has a gold necklace around it's neck and wears purple pants.
"Now I activate it's special effect to get rid of my Avian, by doing that I can bring back Devil Guy and Diehard Guy. Furthermore, Dread Guy's attack points equal the combined attack points of of all D-Hero monsters on the field, making it 2800."
Jaden smirks, "That effect does have it's weaknesses. I use the effect of Fusion Gate to fuse Sparkman with Clayman to create Thunder Giant(Attack: 2400). And I'll use it's special effect to destroy your Diamond Guy."
"You've just wasted your turn, Dread Guy protects all D-Heros from special effects and battle damage."
"That's got to be cheating." Hikari says.
"You may be a good duelist Jaden, but you can't defeat me. You lack some inspiration of using Hero. I am using Hero to get revenge on the person who killed my father."
Everyone is suprised.
"I understand your suffering Ed, but using duel monsters to get revenge just isn't right." Jaden replies.
'How dare he say that to me, he only plays Hero for fun, while I need it to live. What would he know?' Ed draws a card, "Dread Guy destroy his Thunder Giant!"
As Dread Guy launches himself into the air Ed begins to leave the stage. "Goodbye trash!"
Ed: 800/ Jaden: 0
Jaden's cards are all blown out around the field, Jaden notices that his cards turn blank before falling down, and then everything goes white.
A mysterious figure looks down at Jaden as he floats off in a seemingly endless void. "Your destiny has already fallen into my hands. No matter how much you struggle you can't escape." The figure says.
Suddenly Winged Kuriboh appears and calls out to Jaden. Jaden stretches his hand to reach it, but Winged Kuriboh disappears once he does. "Kuriboh!" The figure laughs at Jaden.
Jaden wakes up to find himself in the school's medical room, his deck in his hand. Jaden looks at the cards in his deck, but there all blank. Jaden drops the cards on the floor. "What's going on, I can't see them. Winged Kuriboh where are you!" Jaden calls out, but Winged Kuriboh doesn't appear. Chazz, who is already there, looks at him confused.
Ayato and the gang make their way to the medical room. "What's this about Jaden not being able to duel?" Ayato says as he and the others entered the room.
"He says when he looks at the cards there are no pictures and that he can't here duel spirits." Chazz says as he hands Jaden's deck to Syrus. Syrus and the others look at Jaden's deck and sees the pictures. They all look at Jaden confused.
The nurse finishes her check up, "He's perfectly healthy. Maybe the shock of being defeated by Ed is the problem."
"Maybe your right." Jaden says as he gets up and takes the deck from Syrus. "Wait Jaden!" Syrus calls out as Jaden leaves the room. Nico and the others look worried.
Ayato follows Jaden. "What happened Jaden? Why can't you see your cards?"
Jaden stops walking, "I just...don't know." Jaden then walks away, and doesn't turn back.
'Is the XIII Order behind this?' Ayato thinks to himself as he exits the school and walks towards the forest deep in thought.
Hitaki was walking through the forest. She stopped when someone suddenly appeared in front of her. A guy with blue and white hair, blue eyes,
and earrings was standing right in front of her.
Hitaki growled, "Saiou Takuma."
"You, your Hitaki, you work for Lina, am I right?" Saiou asked calmly.
"What is someone like you doing here you wretched piece of trash." Hitaki replies.
"This coming from someone who killed their own creators just to gain power." Saiou says in a cold voice that betrays his facial expression.
"If you get in my way, I'll kill you." Hitaki says, although she seriously doubts she could.
"You are searching for something, aren't you. Don't tell me you are searching for that." Saiou says with a smirk.
"I'm only gonna say this once more, if you get in my way I'll kill you." Hitaki says again.
Saiou takes a bow before disappearing in a blinding light. Hitaki shivers slightly, 'Saiou Takuma.'
Ayato walks up to the entrance of a cave. He looks suprised as he studies the outside of it, he was so lost in thougt he hadn't even notice he had traveled this far. He looks around, "Well I'd might as well check it out since I'm here." Ayato says to himself.
Suddenly Hitaki comes from the forest and sees Ayato, she walks up behind him and taps him on the shoulder. Ayato turns around and jumps back quickly. "You!"
A guy snickers to himself from atop the mountain, "This is gonna be fun." He says.
Ayato and Hitaki suddenly hear rumbling, they look up to see boulders rolling down the cave. Hitaki being the faster of the two jumps and pushes Ayato into the cave, but gets hit in the shoulder by some of the falling debris.
Ayato rubs the back of his head as he sits up in the cave, it's pitch black within the cave, suddenly the cave lights up. Ayato then sees Hitaki a few feet ahead of him panting.
'Damn that Saiou, he must have diminshed my powers with that flash of light earlier. Well at least I had enough to light this cave up, if only for a few minutes.' She thinks as she rest against the wall of the cave.
She looks over at Ayato to see him glaring at her. She smirks at him, "Come here boy." She says as she motions him to come to her. Ayato continues to glare at her, "Why should I?" He states firmly.
"Because I need your help." She says. Ayato looks at her suprised, 'This has got to be a trap.' Hitaki uses her right hand to pull down her hood, "Is that anyway to treat someone who just saved your life." Hitaki asked sounding annoyed.
Ayato sighed, now he felt guilty, she did just save his life. He walked over to her. "What do you need?" Ayato asked. "Help me take this coat off." She says.
Ayato hesitates, but does what she says. Ayato blushes at the skintight clothing Hitaki is wearing, but quickly shakes it away. 'What the hell am I thinking!'
Hitaki noticed Ayato's blush and rolls her eyes, 'My sister was right. He is a pervert.'
"Help me get my shirt off, I need to see my left shoulder." She says.
Ayato's face turns crimson, "What! No way!"
Hitaki rolls her eyes, "I thought a pervert like you would jump at the chance to see a couple of knockers."
"I am not a pervert! Wait a minute, your not wearing a bra?" Ayato screams at the top of his lungs pointing at her.
"No I'm not, but I need to treat my wound, otherwise we'll never get out here. Besides, you'll have to pay me back anyway."
"What do you mean pay you back?" Ayato asks.
"Like I'm really gonna let you see my bare chest and not get anything in return."
Ayato's face turns even redder, "No way!"
Hitaki gives Ayato her famous glare that promises death. Ayato sighes, "Okay." Ayato grabs her shirt and begins to lift it up, but stops at the bottom of her breasts.
Hitaki becoming annoyed by his hesitation says, "Would you hurry up! I won't be able to keep this cave lit up forever, I'm already low on power."
Ayato continues to lift it up slowly, his fingers brushing against Hitaki's assests. "Stop feeling on me! Otherwise I can't be responsible for what I might do to you! Now lift my damn shirt up now!" Hitaki yells.
Ayato lifts the shirt up in one quick motion. He looks down and a trickle of blood comes from his nose. Hitaki punches him square in the face sending him soaring across the room.
Ayato groans as he gets up slowly, 'I'm trapped in a cave with a beautiful woman.' He then sighes, 'Why does it have to be her!'
Well that's it for this chapter. What's wrong with Jaden? And how is Ayato gonna survive being trapped in a cave with Hitaki? Well your just gonna have to review and wait until next week to find out!
