Hello once again everyone. Well, it's been another fun weekend. I visited my grandfather Saturday, who is home now. (/Deeply sighs\) My poor mom, who came to visit, and my grandmother… My grandmother didn't sleep Friday night, except for an hour. Mom did pretty well, but we could both tell, it's a bit much for my grandmother. The physical therapist did stop in while I visited, and told them that it is possible to probably get my grandfather back to a center for physical therapy once more now that he's more awake. It will be a week or two before it could happen, but we'll see. For now, this week, he has a test sometime soon to see if he can swallow alright (a barium test). If he can, that'll make things much easier if he does go back for physical therapy. Otherwise, not much else happened this weekend really, other than me and Marie slept part of Sunday afternoon. Lol, she said it was cute that I was asleep when she came home and she just curled up in bed with me.
Well, writing wise, Another is coming along nicely. Currently, I am getting some ideas for the sequel to FG, but it's still difficult to write anything down. Eh, I've got some time before this story ends, but still, I'd like to work on it so I have something when this one finishes. (/Deeply sighs\) We'll see where I get before then. If I keep on schedule for this story, there is time, but that's if, lol. Anyways, I will do my best to have something figured out in the near future.
Last time, the clash between Alexis and Namine ended in a big way with Alexis summoning Obelisk and crushing Namine with his special ability. Also, Legato was seen to be very angry with Zell's failure to capture the first Egyptian God Card, but has agreed to let things play out. Also, Marie revealed that in the past she had been pregnant when Gozaburo had went insane. Still, she clings to hope that Illidan will find her and their child before it's too late. Can Illidan and the others reclaim the remaining God Cards before time is up, or will Illidan end up being too late?
Alright, time to get down to my favorite part. It's review time!
Metal Overlord 2.0: Heh, yes, the group is going through a great bit of grief. Heh, I liked Yami Marik as well, although I preferred Yami Bakura. Ah, he made being evil look like so much fun. Yami Marik did the same, although he had the tongue problem… But yes, he was very deranged and gave anyone the creeps I'm sure. Glad you liked the chapter. Yes, Alexis managed to summon Obelisk somehow and it listened to her. Heh, yeah, I made it a bit of a surprise to who the guardians were for each Egyptian God Card. Originally, I had thought of putting CED in charge of Slifer or Ra, but then I figured, nah, too predictable, lol. LOL! Eh, you might want to get that distorted face looked at. Thanks for the comments.
ardee: I know, it is odd Obelisk obeyed Alexis, but I figured like you said, since she defeated him, and she did have a Shadow Charm, the card may have figured it was alright to obey her. Yeah, Kaiba was one of the better villains from Yugioh, although he turned more and more good throughout the series. True, Yami did get weepy in the Orichalicos series, but I did really like that series was the best. Lol, yeah, Yami Bakura was one of the favorites of everyone, and I do have to admit, I liked him due that he made being evil look fun. Yeah, Yami and Illidan were truly close, no matter what had happened. If my mate ever finished her story, you'd see more about it… There is hope she will one day. When, I don't know though, lol. But yes, their fathers didn't like one another, but Illidan and Yami overcame that and remained good friends, each fully trusting the other. Ah, that question about DMoC being a Chaos monster. Well, I count him as one due that he came from the same series of cards, plus he does have the word 'Chaos' in his name. True, he's different, but I keep him in the same group just due that he is like the others. Yes, DMoC is a great card, and truthfully, it's one of two of my favorite cards. My second favorite is Luster Dragon (MFC one). I really like the artwork on it, plus it was my first 1900 non-tribute monster, so I really kind of cherish it. Heh, I actually got a few of them now. But DMoC has been my fav due that I got him in the first pack of IOC I bought. Thanks for the comments as always!
Isis the Sphinx: Yeah, I know the feeling about it being a long week. Heh, hopefully your week will be alright. I know mine will be challenging… Thanks about the chapter.
Knives91: Thanks, and I shall keep posting!
x-knight20: Thank you. Yes, she managed to summon Obelisk. Oh, cool about the KH fic. I may check it out. Heh, I have so many fan fics to really read. I'm so far behind on one Inuyasha that I'm pondering if I'll ever catch up. I'm like nearly 20 chapters behind, lol. Plus, I have others to catch up on. Oi, just so much work to keep reading…
Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks. Actually, I did research the move I used at the end, and it's legal. You see, the text on Stray Lambs is as follows: "If you activate this card, you cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon or Special Summon during this turn. Special Summon 2 'Lamb Tokens' (Beast-Type/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position." The effect kicks in after you play the spell card, not before. Since I special summoned the three monsters prior, plus tribute summoned Obelisk before playing Stray Lambs, the effect of the spell were pointless. When played, I couldn't summon anymore afterwards. See what I'm talking about? Heh, who the next challenger is, hard to say. Actually, it's said soon, lol. Thanks for the review.
Well, that's it for this round. The reviews seem to get longer and longer each time, which I'm not complaining, just commenting and complimenting. Thanks for the reviews everyone. I really enjoy them, and they help me with my writing. Also, thanks to my usual PM'er, Raymond Barrett. Again, thanks everyone for your reviews. I look forward to the next batch. Till then, enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 51
The next day slowly passed away. Around three, Illidan let out a sigh and gathered his group of three back up. It was a beautiful day, but the mood of the group didn't match.
Marching along, Chazz asked Alexis "Are you sure you recovered completely?"
Glaring at him, she snapped "That's the tenth time you've asked me, and for the last time, YES! I'm fine!"
Both Illidan and Jaden chuckled at her reaction and Chazz's fearful reaction. In a furious pace, Alexis walked in front of the chuckling pair. Passing by, she threw a death glare at the two, making both cease their chuckling.
Turning his attention the task before the group, Illidan turned his head back to Chazz, saying "Chazz, we're going to the Ra Shrine today. Also, Jaden, we're going to try and go to the Slifer Shrine also."
"Why two in one day?" Jaden asked, somewhat curious.
Brows knitting, Illidan replied with a twinge of sadness "There are only three days left. With three cards to go, it would be pushing it to deliver them all that quickly."
Softening a bit, he added "This way, we'll maybe have a day to rest."
"I gotcha ya." Jaden replied with a smile.
Looking ahead, Illidan saw the familiar concealed area coming into view. Softly smiling, he silently hoped all would go well. "If we can collect both Ra and Slifer today, then I should have adequate time to collect Anubis tomorrow. I fear that that last card will be the most difficult to recover. Still, I have to try."
Rushing forward, Jaden ran into the small area and laughed, saying "This is it! We're here!"
Chuckling at his behavior, Illidan glanced at Chazz, who only shook his head. Looking at Alexis, he smirked when he saw her smiling at the childish antics of Jaden.
"Alright, settle down Jaden." Illidan said with a smile.
Nodding, Jaden rejoined the group. Once he was safely behind Illidan, Illidan raised his hand and swept it across. Instantly, the cloak and barrier surrounding another shrine was lifted, revealing the entrance to it.
"This is the Ra Shrine. Chazz, if you please, show your Shadow Charm to the door."
Grunting, Chazz stepped forward and pulled his Shadow Charm out. It was a simple golden eye patch with a mysterious looking eye in the center. Holding it up to the door, Chazz impatiently tapped his foot.
Soon enough, the door reacted and began to slide open. Pushing past Chazz, Illidan lead them into the shrine, knowing where they were headed. The door soon slid shut behind the group and the torches came to life. Walking on as if nothing happened, Illidan moved on towards the main chamber. The others followed while on guard, each glancing around the hallway curiously.
Finally arriving at the main chamber, Illidan moved into it with the group close behind him. Torches lit up around the room, illuminating it. In the center, a figure stood with a black cloak on.
Walking towards the figure calmly, Illidan smiled. He slowly moved towards the figure, causing it to turn towards Illidan and send out a small sphere of dark energy at him. Not flinching when the energy exploded near him, Illidan pressed forward.
"Illidan!" Jaden called out with some worry.
Paying no heed to Jaden, Illidan walked straight up to the figure. With a small smile still on his face, Illidan flatly stated "You missed."
The figure softly growled, but then let out a small chuckle. Pulling his hood off made the three students gasp in shock. A creature with purple skin, two large ivory white horns on the side of his head, and yellow eyes stared down at Illidan.
Smirking, the creature ripped off the robe that covered him, revealing the remainder of his body. His chest was covered only by a few straps that crisscrossed his body. His shoulders were covered by a set of shoulder pads made up of leather. He had armbands that went from his elbow to his wrists that were black as well, and finally wore a pair of black leather pants and a battle skirt as well.
Chuckling, the creature said "Well Master, only you would not be afraid of me hitting you. I see that your fear is still tempered to where you don't show it."
"True." Illidan simply replied.
Eyeing the others, the creature asked "Who are they?"
"The ones who are helping me recollect the Egyptian God Cards."
Glancing back at the students, the creature smirked, saying "Really? Interesting you'd pick a group like that."
"You trying to say something you freak!" Chazz growled out.
Giving Chazz an emotionless look, the creature said "Such insolence. Know your place mortal."
Growling louder, Chazz rushed forward. He was soon beside of Illidan and pointed a finger angrily at the creature, yelling "Don't disrespect The Chazz!"
Laughing at this, the creature evenly replied "You are not worth my time. You disrespect yourself without my help."
"Why you!" Chazz said through gritted teeth.
Sighing, Illidan patted Chazz on the shoulder, saying "Calm down Chazz."
Turning back the creature, Illidan lightly smiled and then turned to Chazz and the others, saying "Guys, this is the guardian of the Ra Shrine. He is the Duel Spirit known as Chaos Sorcerer."
Without much thought, Chazz asked "You mean the monster Chaos Sorcerer, as in the card?"
Smirking at this, Chaos Sorcerer responded "The one and only."
"You don't look so tough." Chazz mildly stated.
Infuriated by the words, the creature began forming a dark sphere in his left hand while forming a white in his right. "You will pay for those insolent words you little impudent brat!" he hissed.
"Don't lose your temper." Illidan chided with a small grin.
Growling slightly, the creature finally stopped forming the spheres and dissolved them. Taking a deep breath, he sighed and turned to Illidan, saying "Master, why have you come? As I remember, you said you yourself could not open the door to the shrine."
Nodding, Illidan replied softly "Yes, I did, and I didn't enter on my own. The seal was released on the door by this young man. He has come to challenge you for Ra."
Bursting out loud laughing, the sorcerer stepped backwards, holding his hands over his stomach. His laughter was loud and boisterous, and echoed throughout the shrine.
Finally regaining a little composure, the creature said with laughter in his voice "You're kidding me! This brat?!"
Growling furiously, Chazz opened his mouth to yell at the sorcerer when three spirits formed around him. They took the forms of a yellow, green, and black set of familiar creatures, each wearing pink bikini briefs.
"Ah boss, just ignore him." the yellow one said.
"Yeah, he's nothing but a big fraidy cat!" add the black one.
Nodding, the green one said "He's just a wimp who can't start to compete with your greatness."
Chuckling, Chazz calmed down and crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "You're right boys. He's just jealous of me." he simply bragged.
The vein in the purple sorcerer's forehead bulged out at this, causing the laughter to stop. "You little…"
"Easy there Chaos Sorcerer." Illidan chided.
Reopening his eyes, Chazz stared at the sorcerer and smirked, saying "I challenge you for that Egyptian God Card!"
Sneering, the sorcerer nodded, saying "Very well, I accept. You do realize this duel is over more than that card, right? If you win, you get the card, but if I win, I win not only your Shadow Charm, but your soul as well!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know all about your stupid Shadow Game. Let's do this!" Chazz barked back.
"Very well mortal, you will soon be in the Shadow Realm." the sorcerer remarked.
Holding out his left arm, it began to glow till finally a strange black Duel Disk formed. It didn't have a long tray either way for cards, but suddenly, it glowed and shot out two long blade sections, making room for cards. A deck then appeared in the creature's right hand, which he quickly shuffled and jammed into the deck holder in the Duel Disk.
Pulling his deck from his coat, Chazz simply shuffled and stuck his deck into his Duel Disk. Stepping back, he moved into position and smirked.
Walking over to Chazz, Illidan whispered "Be careful. Remember, Ra is one of the most powerful of the Egyptian God Cards. Watch yourself, and don't do anything too foolish."
"Don't worry Teach, I got this duel all planned out." Chazz arrogantly remarked.
Sighing, Illidan patted him on the shoulder, saying "Good luck."
With Illidan moving away, the sorcerer called out to Chazz, asking "Ready mortal?"
"Let's do this!" Chazz simply responded. Holding out his arm, the Duel Disk came to life and extended itself out.
Yelling in unison, the two said to one another "Game on!"
Picking up his first card, the sorcerer smugly said "I'll begin, and I start by playing my Divine Dragon Ragnarok (1500/1000) in defense!"
A pink energy dragon with a long slender snake like body formed onto the field in a coiled up position. It let out a soft roar, seemingly a warning roar.
"Let's see what you have mortal." (CS 8000, Chazz 8000)
Drawing his first card, Chazz lightly chuckled, saying "Oh, you'll see, and you'll regret facing me! Prepare to be Chazzed UP!"
Frowning, the sorcerer darkly replied "You are a strange one."
The yellow spirit monster with bikini briefs appeared beside of Chazz's head and happily said "Don't let him bother you boss. He's just jealous of you."
Smacking the air where the creature was, Chazz irritably said "Shut up. Now, where was I?"
Momentarily thinking, Chazz smirked, saying "Ah yes, now I remember. I was about to pound you into a pulp! I'll kick things off by playing the spell Fiend's Sanctuary! With this little baby, I get to special summon a Metal Fiend Token (0/0)!"
With a small flash, a creature made up of round metal spheres that gradually got larger appeared in a hunched over stance on the field.
"I'm sure you're wondering, why summon that thing? Well, I have a good reason! I'm sacrificing it, so make room for the Armed Dragon LV5 (2400/1700)!"
Vanishing quickly, the small metal creature was replaced instantly with a large dull grey armored dragon with orange skin. It had several large spikes sticking from it's body, a pair of small drills sticking form it's knees and elbows, powerful clawed fists, short stubby wings, and finally a strong mace shaped ball on it's tail.
"Think that's strong, then you haven't seen nothing yet! I play the spell Level Up, allowing me to sacrifice my current dragon for it's next form, so good bye LV5 and hello Armed Dragon LV7 (2800/1000)!"
Glowing brightly, the orange and grey dragon vanished, causing a plume of smoke to rise up. From the smoke came a loud roar, followed by a bright glow. Soon enough, powerful clawed hands came out of the smoke, followed by metallic wings, a long tail with a cylindrical like mace on the tip, strong legs with drills sticking from it's legs, and finally followed by a strong head covered in semi-shiny metal armor that protected orange skin. Letting out a massive roar once more, the dragon glared across the field at the energy dragon.
With a smug look, Chazz said "If you think I'm through, you're dead wrong! You see, as strong as this dragon is, he's not the final level! I sacrifice this dragon in order to summon the top dragon, my Armed Dragon LV10 (3000/2000)!"
Vanishing quick as it had appeared, the powerful dragon was removed, causing a bright red glow to form. From the glow came a new dragon, one with shiny metal armor that covered a majority of it's body, and reddish-orange skin. On it's back were massive metal wings. It's head was covered completely in the armor, as was most of it's chest and arms. The underside of it's arms were not covered, and revealed reddish-orange skin, as did it's legs. The dragon, unlike the previous forms, stood fully on two legs up straight and tall. Sending out a louder roar the previous dragon, the dragon gave an enraged glare at the weaker energy dragon.
Darkly laughing, Chazz called out "Better get ready to be torn apart! Time to activate my dragon's special ability! By sending a card from my hand to my Graveyard, I can destroy all of your monsters, so I send Chthonian Soldier (1200/1600) to my Grave! Say goodbye to your only defense!"
Roaring loudly, the dragon opened it's jaws, revealing blazing red flames. With little effort, it shot forth a mighty beam of red power, striking the pink energy dragon, making it howl in pain till it finally shattered into pieces.
"Armed Dragon, direct attack that freak with Dragon Energy Claw!"
Stepping forward, the dragon pulled back it's right arm and formed a sphere of red energy within it. Closing it's fist around the sphere, the dragon moved forward another step and thrust all it's power into the claw. With ease, the dragon pushed it's fist forward into the sorcerer, who cried out in pain and was knocked into the air by the force of the blast.
Landing on the ground nearly ten feet away, the sorcerer slowly stood up and wiped a small bit of blood away from the corner of his lip. Sneering at the sight of blood on his fingers, the sorcerer roughly said "That one was free."
Chuckling at this, Chazz simply replied "There's more where that came from, so make your move. Let's see what a guardian can do." (CS 5000, Chazz 8000)
Smiling, Jaden exclaimed "Total sweetness! Chazz busted out some nice moves, and has managed to take the lead!"
"I'm surprised how well he started the duel out. Maybe Chazz will make it through his duel easier than I did mine." Alexis said with a small grin.
Illidan continued to watch, and evenly said "It's far from over. Things have just begun, so don't get your hopes up yet."
Seeing the seriousness of Illidan's comments, both Alexis and Jaden nodded and refocused their attention to the duel.
Picking up a new card, the sorcerer smirked, saying "You have had your chance to do as you please. Now it's my turn to make you pay. I shall begin your demise by activating the special effect of my Thunder Dragon (1600/1500) in my hand. By sending it to the Graveyard, I can add up to two new ones to my hand, but I'll only pick one."
Placing the monster card into the Graveyard Slot, the sorcerer pulled his deck out and picked the same dragon from it, saying "But I'm not done yet, for I send this one to the Graveyard as well, allowing me yet another Thunder Dragon to come into my hand."
Stuffing the dragon card into his Graveyard Slot, the sorcerer searched his deck once more for the same dragon and finally found it, placing it in his left hand. Once placing his deck back in it's slot, he called out "Time to destroy you! I play the spell Dragon's Mirror! Thanks to this card, I can remove from play creatures that form a Dragon Type Fusion monster. I pick my two Thunder Dragons, thus I must remove them from play. Now I can fuse them together to form the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon (2800/2100)!"
A pair of green snake like dragons appeared on the field and began swirling together, each letting out a soft roar. From the swirling, a bright light formed. With the light dimming, a new dragon appeared. This dragon had twin heads, red skin, large clawed feet, and a powerful tail. Each head had a long horn on it's nose. The twin heads let out a massive roar, trying to strike some sort of fear into the larger dragon across from it.
"That pathetic dragon doesn't have the power to out gun my dragon. Try a new strategy, like one that works." Chazz smartly remarked.
Chuckling, the sorcerer grunted out "We'll see about your claims. For now, I activate the spell Dimension Fusion! To use it, I must pay 2000 of my life points, but it comes with a very good effect. We each are now allowed to special summon all as many removed from play monsters as we can, so I pick both of my Thunder Dragons (1600/1500)!"
The pair of green snake like dragons with wings reappeared onto the field, each letting out a soft growl.
"Still not enough." Chazz bragged.
Darkly chuckling, the sorcerer smugly replied "It will be."
Staring at the three monsters, Jaden quietly asked Alexis "What do you think his plan is?"
Shrugging, Alexis flatly replied "No clue. It makes no sense to summon those three monsters. None of them are strong enough to even put a dent in Chazz's dragon."
"Yeah…" Jaden murmured as he stared on.
Looking at the field, Illidan silently pondered Chaos Sorcerer's moves himself. "What is he up to? None of those dragons have enough attack points to beat Chazz's dragon, so why go to all the trouble of summoning three dragons…"
Realizing the last of his statement, Illidan gasped, knowing now what was about to happen. "He has it already!? This is not good for Chazz! He'll be hit pretty hard if what I think is about to happen happens."
Back on the field, Chazz glared at the three dragons staring at him. "What a complete waste. This guy should know he can't out muscle my dragon with those three monsters… Wait, three!? That means… Oh no, Egyptian God Cards require three monsters to be summoned!"
Seeing the look of worry and surprise on Chazz's face, the sorcerer laughed, saying "Ah, so you figured it out huh? Well, about time. Now then, I sacrifice all three of my monsters…"
The three dragons began glowing and suddenly vanished, causing the room to seemingly become even darker. Calling out again, the sorcerer yelled "… in order to summon the monster that will destroy you! Prepare for the end! Come forth my mighty Egyptian God, The Winged Dragon of Ra (?/?), and shine your light of destruction on this fool!"
Slowly, the room began glowing golden due to a large golden sphere descending into the room. All eyes went to the sphere as it finally slowed and hovered above the field.
"WHAT IS THAT THING!?" Chazz yelled in shock.
Chuckling, the sorcerer simply replied "That is The Winged Dragon of Ra. It is currently locked away in it's sphere form. I shall now release it by reciting the ancient chant."
Closing his eyes, calmly reopened them and slowly in a calm voice said "Great beast of the sky, please hear my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. Envelop the desert with your glow and cast your rage upon my foe. Unlock your powers from deep within so that together we may win. Appear in this Shadow Game as I call your name, Winged Dragon of Ra!"
While the sorcerer recited the chant, slowly, the sphere began to unlock and the mighty dragon began to take form. Once the chant had finished, a large golden dragon that looked to be made of metal, appeared onto the field. It had a massive wing spread, extremely sharp looking claws and talons, a powerful tail, and a massive head.
The dragon let out a terrifying roar, causing the dragon on Chazz's field to shutter from it's power. Chazz also seemed to lightly shiver with fear from the sight of the dragon.
Seeing Chazz's fear, the sorcerer smirked, mockingly asking "Terrified of my dragon are you? You should be! My Egyptian God will rip you and your dragon apart!"
Calming slightly, the sorcerer smirked once more, saying "I should explain to you how my dragon's points are determined. You see, his points are the sum of the three monsters I sacrificed to summon Ra. That means, combined, my dragon's power is 6000 (2800 + 1600 + 1600 6000/2100 + 1500 + 1500 5100)!"
Releasing yet another mighty roar, the dragon made the ground shutter from it's awesome power. Chazz only could stare at the dragon wide-eyed, unsure what to think or say.
"Foolish mortal, you are too weak to be facing an Egyptian God Card! You will fall here in this battle!" the sorcerer said with a cackle.
