Hey everybody! Well, this week has been decent so far. I saw my grandfather Monday, and he was doing well. My grandmother seemed fine as well. She's not been getting too much sleep, but hopefully she'll get more now that grandpa is getting back on some kind of sleeping schedule. Anyways, other than my grandfather, life is cool. I talked to a friend of mine that I knew in high school and college, which was great. He seems to be doing well, which I was glad to hear. Other than that, really not much has changed with me.
I've been writing like a man possessed on Another the last few days. Plus, my mate keeps questioning me on future developments, and continues to proofread the story for me, which helps me make small corrections. I'm thinking in the near future, I may start posting chapters on it. I want to make sure that things are solid first on the opening chapters, even though I'll probably be just posting 1-2 chapters a week for the time being. As for the sequel to FG, I still can't get anything going it seems. Every time I try to imagine something, I have difficulty. Eh, it maybe just due that I'm working on Another also and that I'm having a lot of fun with it. I'll try though to get something going though.
Last time, Chazz's duel with the 2nd guardian, Chaos Sorcerer, has begun. With Ra on the line, Chazz is pulling out all the stops to win the card, but has now become confronted with the Egyptian God Card itself. Can Chazz overcome the most powerful Egyptian God Card, or is it his destiny to fail?
Alright, time for the best part of the morning! It's REVIEW TIME!
Metal Overlord 2.0: True, Illidan never actually played Chaos Sorcerer in the in any of his duel in my stories. Really, Chaos Sorcerer was like a second string monster for Illidan, like a side deck I suppose. Honestly, I never did mention the card due that he had the other three. Heh, true, you'd think his monsters would pick up Illidan's modest nature, but they are just being themselves, which I'm sure Illidan prefers. Yes, true, it's fun to see who has a bigger ego, Chazz or CS, lol. Yeah, I did bring out the Egyptian God Card out a bit early again. I guess mostly to prove that they had a mastery over the cards, and that they wished to prove it. I mean, what better way to pummel your opponent than bring out a legendary card that can beat them into submission? True, CED and CS could have had better decks, but I just kind of had ideas for what kind of decks to use, and what could be used to summon the Gods the quickest. Hehe, yeah, the other guardians are yet to be revealed, making it hard to think past these 2 guardians. Lol, nice hair. Maybe I should trim it. (/Slashes hair shorter with claws.\) There, better? (/Frowns at new voice.\) Uh dude, he's dead. Like, dead dead. Yes, very odd. Thanks for the comments!
x-knight20: Thanks. CS isn't a huge fav of mine since I really prefer Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning over him. He had the better effects, plus he could remove from play face down cards also. CS is good for taking out powerhouses or annoying monsters, but otherwise, he's not super, unfortunately. Still, I did use him a good bit after the rest of the Chaos monsters were vanquished. I really liked the Chaos series of cards, but in the end, the cards were just too powerful and had to be banned, sadly…
Ultimate Legendary Master: Yep, it is Ra's turn. True, it would have been interesting for the one turn kill, but eh, I didn't use it to be honest, to my knowledge… Yeah, the card effects are kind of odd in video games. Heh, I did have a pretty fun strategy back in the day with Scapegoat, some monster, plus United We Stand. Summon some monster, play Scapegoat, and hook up that monster with UWS, and bam! I know, simple strategy, but it worked. Plus I used it in ToP, lol. But it's the same principle as the strategy I used with Alexis. Hmm, actually, you can activate Soul Exchange after the Battle Phase in the Main Phase 2. I know, it seems like you can't, but you can. So long as the Battle Phase doesn't take place after you played this card, it's a legal move. I know, it's confusing, but rulings help, sometimes… I always look them up when I'm unsure, or at least when I used to play I did, lol. Thanks though for the comments, and I hope that answers your question on Soul Exchange.
Knives91: Thanks. Lol, true, Chazz maybe in for a rough ride. Hmm, you could be right that BLS-EotB is the last guardian… Or it could be DMoC… Or Chaosrider Gustaph… Lol, or any other Chaos monster, hehe. I know, that's just evil and confusing, lol.
pink-kiss-candy: LOL! The sorcerer is Chaos Sorcerer, as in the card Chaos Sorcerer, hehe.
ardee: Thanks. True, Chazz quickly summoned Armed Dragon LV10 and started out good. I like the Armed Dragon cards also. I've had thoughts of building a real deck for them, but unfortunately, I don't have them all, or enough of each that I have. Plus I lost interest in the game, lol. But don't forget, I did use them for TWS, which shows I did like them, at one time, lol. Nope, Illidan never actually played Chaos Sorcerer before. Possibly BLS is guarding Slifer and DMoC guards Anubis, but like I said with Knives91, what keeps me from using other Chaos monsters, hehe. True, who will fight Anubis? All three? Only one? Or someone not of the three? Actually, I called the dorm, ironically, Anubis White. Yes, the sequel will be a GX one. Lol, be kind of silly of me to revert backwards if I did a sequel. True, I could mix themes, but eh, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Hehe, I have ideas to include elements from this story, but which ones, I will never reveal! At least till the sequel, lol. But yes, there are a lot of different things going on in GX. There are the Demons, Light of Ruin, Dark World, things from Jaden's past, etc… Heh, good question on how he'll beat Ra. Maybe ask nicely for him to stand down? Eh, Chazz somewhat reminds me of Kaiba, but not quite. He's got the makings of a Kaiba just waiting for his shot. Yes, it'll be a nice duel regardless.
Isis the Sphinx: Lol, a bit maybe. They'll never lose the ego! Ah yes, a nice place to get sick is high school. That sucks that you're dizzy. Hopefully, you've recovered some since then. Lol, yes, high school is not the best years of your life. That's reserved for college… Or after, lol. Thanks for the comments.
Wow, my reviews ran over to 3 pages this time! Usually it's 2 or so, but 3, just wow. Lol, I'm not saying that's bad. I'm just saying wow, lol. But thanks everyone for your reviews. I really enjoyed reading this last round of them. Thank you everyone for them and your continuous support of this story. I hopefully will have some work done on the sequel in the near future… I use the word hopefully carefully, lol. In the meantime, this story rolls on. For now, enjoy the chapter everyone! Later!
Chapter 52
Pointing a finger at Chazz's dragon, the sorcerer called out "Ra, incinerate his pathetic dragon with your Blaze Cannon!"
Letting out a massive roar, an arch of the dragon's back began glowing brightly. Slowly, a large golden sphere of energy began forming within the arch. The energy soon began to go down wire like structures into the dragon's mouth, causing a powerful golden glow to begin forming. Opening it's jaws fully, the dragon spat the energy blast from it's jaws, sending a golden beam straight at the heavily armored dragon.
In the blink of an eye, the blast tore through the armored dragon, not even giving it a chance to roar in pain. The blast continued on, striking Chazz hard. He raised his arms and attempted to brace himself for the oncoming blast, but it struck him harder than he originally thought it would. Yelling out in pain, Chazz tried hard to stand his ground, but continued to slide backwards.
The blast soon ended, leaving a smoldering Chazz. Smoke was pouring off of his body, but he still stood. Lowering his arms, Chazz lightly glared at the sorcerer, but suddenly, without a word, he fell to his hands and knees, panting heavily.
Chuckling at the response to the attack, the sorcerer smugly said "See you foolish mortal. I told you before that you won't win this duel, and I meant it. Now, suffer the fate I warned you about. Make your move, if it's possible…" (CS 2000, Chazz 5000)
"Chazz… Come on, don't give up now." Alexis kindly said, trying to motivate Chazz to stand up.
Staring at Chazz, Jaden called out "Chazz, I know you can do this! Come on man, you've faced tougher duels than this!"
Gritting his teeth, Chazz slowly stood back up while panting heavily. Standing fully upright, Chazz slowly drew his card, saying "My turn. I summon Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600) in defense."
A machine red dragon with four smaller legs, metallic claws, and wings spread appeared in a defensive stance.
"I'm done for the turn, so go ahead." (CS 2000, Chazz 5000)
Drawing his card, the sorcerer chuckled, saying "You're not doing too well now mortal. What's wrong, where is the confidence you had earlier?"
Growling furiously, Chazz yelled "I'll show you what I have left soon enough!"
"I'm sure you will. In the meantime, I'll continue to devastate you. I summon Queen's Knight (1500/1600)."
In a flash, a female warrior with blond hair that fell to her mid-back, dressed in pink armor, except for her legs which were bare, and holding a sword in her left hand and a triangle like shield appeared with a small cry.
"Ra, eliminate his pathetic scrapheap with Blaze Cannon!"
Roaring loudly at it's orders, the metallic golden dragon took aim. A sphere formed within the archway as it had before, and slowly, energy began flowing into it's mouth. Opening it's jaws, the dragon spat a massive stream of golden energy at the weaker machine dragon, which was completely obliterated, but not before giving a small, weak mechanical roar.
Sneering at his handiwork, the sorcerer called out once more, saying "Queen's Knight, show him that you're a cut above him with Royal Slash!"
Rushing forward with sword raised, the woman swung her sword into Chazz, making him scream out in pain. A single line of ripped cloth was left on Chazz's chest, as well as a small amount of blood starting to form from the cut.
"I shall end for now. Come boy, give in, for you will lose." (CS 2000, Chazz 3500)
Clutching his chest, Chazz lightly panted, saying "No way… No way I'm giving up to a guy like you!"
Quickly drawing his card, he frowned and slapped the card to his Duel Disk, saying "I set a monster. That's it." (CS 2000, Chazz 3500)
Picking up a new card, the sorcerer let out a deep laugh, mockingly saying "You will not survive this turn. I summon King's Knight (1600/1400)!"
An older man with blonde shoulder length hair with red and gold armor, armed with a round shield with a star on it and a sword appeared beside of the woman in pink.
Smirking at his accomplishment, the sorcerer called out "King's Knight has a very special ability by the way. When I have Queen's Knight out, along with King's Knight, I can special summon from my deck Jack's Knight (1900/1000)!"
Searching his deck, the sorcerer finally found the card and slapped it to his Duel Disk. Immediately, a young knight with blonde hair that came to his shoulders with blue armor, a strong sword, and a triangle like shield appeared. He let out a small cry, showing he was ready to fight.
Seeing the field was stacked against Chazz, Alexis mumbled "No, he's finished."
Turning to her, Jaden was quick to say "Don't lose hope. Chazz will make it, I know he will."
"How do you know that?" she asked in response.
Smiling, Jaden turned back to the duel, saying "A duel isn't over till the last card is played, and I have a feeling Chazz isn't ready to give up, not just yet."
"I guess…"
"Have faith Alexis. He'll make it." Jaden encouraged.
On the field, Chazz indifferently glared at the sorcerer. Seeing this, the sorcerer laughed, saying "You're finished this turn boy. Watch as your life points are about to go to zero! Jack's Knight, eliminate his monster with Royal Slash!"
With a quick leap, the young knight swiftly skimmed the field and plunged his sword into the face down horizontal card image. The image instantly shattered, revealing a young woman with orange hair that fell to her waist and wore a simple blue dress. She was instantly shattered into pieces due that she wasn't strong enough to hold her position.
"Pathetic that you'd have such a weakling hold your front line. Now, you will fall! Attack him directly Ra with Blaze Cannon!"
Roaring loudly, the mighty golden dragon prepared to launch it's attack when suddenly the field began glowing light green. The green light flooded the field, stopping the dragon in it's tracks. Seeing the light, the dragon stopped building energy and settled into a normal position.
Looking around with confusion, the sorcerer pointed a finger at Chazz, yelling "What is the meaning of this!?"
Chuckling, Chazz smugly replied "It's really simple. Let me spell it out for you. You destroyed The Unhappy Maiden (0/100). When sent to the Grave due to battle, she ends the Battle Phase. Too bad, you would have had me too, but oh well."
Growling with fury, the sorcerer roughly replied "Fine, I place a card face down. Show me what your last turn can do boy!" (CS 2000, Chazz 3500)
"Phew, he saved himself." Jaden said as he released a sigh.
"Yeah, but it won't be so easy to win this duel." Alexis added.
Nodding in reply, Jaden responded with "True, but knowing Chazz, he has some kind of plan."
"I hope, or else we're going to be one Egyptian God Card less."
On the field, Chazz looked at his deck, softly saying "This is my last chance. Gotta make this one count."
Drawing his card in a sweeping motion, he brought it close enough to glance at it and smirked. Lightly chuckling, he called out "It looks like I'm not done with this duel yet. I play the spell Enchanting Fitting Room! With this, I pay 800 life points, and then I get to pick up four cards from my deck. If any are level three or lower, I get to special summon them, but if they're not, I shuffle them back into my deck."
Running his fingers over four cards, Chazz grabbed the four cards at once, and called out "You losers had better be there if we're gonna win!"
Pulling out four cards, Chazz looked at them and chuckled. A holo image of all four cards appeared on the field, showing three monsters and a spell card. Smirking greatly, Chazz arrogantly said "Obviously, my Frontline Base isn't a monster, but the three Ojama Brothers ((0/1000) x 3) sure are!"
Appearing on the field were three small creatures, each wearing a pair of pink bikini briefs. The first was black and had a large nose with two small eyes. The next was yellow, had eyes attached to small tentacles, and red lips. The last one was green, had a single eyed, and was slightly more muscular than the others.
Once the three appeared, they said in unison "Tada!" When the three looked up though, they all three screamed in fear at once. All three panicked, and in their panic, wet their underwear. In a mad scramble, the three piled in behind Chazz, using him as a shield.
Growling loudly, Chazz screamed "You idiots, get off of me! Eww, get off now! I can smell that stench, ah!"
"Boss, we can't! We're too afraid to move!" the yellow one declared.
"Morons, get out there and fight!"
"But boss, you don't understand! That monster staring at us, he's one of the strongest in the Monster Realm! He'll cream us!" the green one chattered nervously.
Clenching his right hand, Chazz snapped "I know he's strong, but you three losers are stronger!"
"Boss, you're not listening! He's way too strong for us!" the black one argued.
Laughter was heard across the field, making Chazz glance up at the sorcerer. "So, that's your big plan, eh? Calling those weaklings won't help you. They're known throughout the Monster Realm as the weakest among the weakest, and now I see personally why no one cares about them."
The three cowered even further behind Chazz. His vein popping out of his forehead, Chazz heatedly bit out "You don't know anything! These three are far stronger than you give them credit!"
Glancing over his shoulder, Chazz encouragingly said "You guys are so much stronger than you know. I wouldn't put my faith in you all unless I knew you could do the job. So, I'm asking you, please, help me beat this guy! We can beat him together!"
The three glanced back and forth between one another before finally the yellow one timidly said "Boss, we're… we're with you!"
Nodding, Chazz looked forward again, saying "Then get up here and help me out boys."
Slowly nodding to one another, the creatures leapt back in front of Chazz, taking up a defensive stance each. Glaring down at the group, the golden dragon roared softly, instantly causing the three to nearly bolt.
Each half turned away, but the yellow one stopped and turned back to face the dragon, saying "You can't scare me! I won't abandon Chazz!"
Hearing this, the two remaining creatures froze up and shakily turned to face the dragon. Trying hard to find their resolve, they nodded, each adding "Yeah!"
"Fools, you and your master shall fall in this battle." the sorcerer indifferently stated.
Chuckling, Chazz closed his eyes and wagged a finger, tauntingly saying "No, I don't think so."
Reopening his eyes, he smugly said "It's time to put a new spin on this duel."
Turning to Chazz, all three creatures looked with shock, with the yellow one asking "Do you mean…"
"Yep, it's time to put them in the spin cycle! I activate the spell card Ojama Delta Hurricane! Do your thing boys!"
Each smiling, but with a bit of fear, the three launched into the air. Calling out their color, the three finally placed their butts together, saying in unison "Ojama Delta Hurricane!"
Slowly, the three began swirling in a circle. Little by little, the group began spinning faster and faster, and the circle began widening. The three shifted the circles position, and moved it to right above the large golden dragon and the trio of knights. Once more widening the circle, the three increased the diameter till it encircled the large dragon and the knights. With a swift movement, the circle dropped down till it was at the middle of the dragon's body, at which point it came to a screeching halt. In a single motion, the circle tightened around the dragon, making it howl in pain. The circle soon began to shrink even more, making the dragon roar once more in tremendous pain. After what seemed like an eternity, the dragon finally exploded, sending out a shockwave and a dust cloud that destroyed the weaker knights below it.
The dust slowly began to settle from the explosion, revealing the three weaker creatures in front of Chazz with a big grin on each of their faces, as well as Chazz's. Chuckling, Chazz mockingly said "Looks like that dragon wasn't all that you thought it was!"
Growling loudly, the sorcerer snapped "You will pay for disrespecting Ra!"
Stopping his anger, the sorcerer smirked, saying "No matter, you did help me a bit. You see, when you destroyed my face down card, you activated it's effect!"
"What spell card?" Chazz asked, unsure of what the sorcerer spoke of.
Chuckling, the sorcerer calmly replied "The spell known as Spell Calling. When it's destroyed, I get a new quick-play spell card, which I must show you, so I pick this, my Poison of the Old Man."
Lightly chuckling, Chazz smirked, saying "That won't help you. For now though, it's your turn, so go wild." (CS 2000, Chazz 2700)
"Way to put the moves to him Chazz!" Jaden happily called out.
Nodding, Alexis added "You go Chazz! Take that guardian down!"
Smiling, Illidan silently said to himself "Chazz, that was impressive. To take down The Winged Dragon of Ra so skillfully is truly impressive."
Calming his expression, Illidan glided his eyes towards the sorcerer's field. "Still, Chazz has a long ways to go before this duel is over. Come on, don't give up yet Chazz."
Picking up a new card, the sorcerer lightly grunted, saying "I activate my face down card, Poison of the Old Man. With this, I gain 1200 life points. That will end my turn." (CS 3200, Chazz 2700)
Quickly drawing his next card, Chazz glanced at it for only a moment before slapping it to his Duel Disk, saying "It's time I showed you that I'm really serious! I summon Don Zaloog (1400/1500)!"
A muscular man with nearly shoulder length grey hair, a golden eye patch, a brown-grey sleeveless shirt with matching pants, a strap that went around his body full of bullets, and a pair of guns on his hips appeared with a small yell.
Looking around, he seemed to adjust his bearings, and finally turned to Chazz, asking "Chazz, what's going on?"
"He looks… familiar." Alexis murmured to Jaden.
Smiling, Jaden nodded, saying "He should. That's Don Zaloog, the card Chazz got when he beat him and his Dark Scorpion Gang."
Recognition appeared on Alexis's face, causing her to slightly smile, saying "Yes, I remember now. He won it when he beat them last year."
Curious, Illidan asked "What do you mean, beat them?"
"Oh yeah, you weren't here, that's right. Well, last year, when the Shadow Riders were attacking, Don Zaloog and his Dark Scorpion Gang came to infiltrate the school and take the Sacred Beast Cards. Unfortunately, Chazz figured out who they were, and that they were the fourth Shadow Rider group. Chazz dueled Don, and won. When he won, he got Don's Shadow Charm, but Don and his crew transformed into cards. We figured out finally that the group was actually just Duel Spirits. Chazz kindly adopted the group, but never played them till now." Jaden said in a long response.
Nodding, Illidan replied "I see. Interesting…"
"Yeah, you don't know the half of it, heh."
"I can hear you guys, you know!?" Chazz irritably yelled.
Rubbing the back of his head modestly, Jaden replied "Oops, sorry Chazz."
Grumbling, Chazz turned his attention back to the duel, and irritably said "Don, what does it look like is going on!"
Scratching his head, Don finally replied "I guess we're in a duel."
"No duh! Attack him directly with Double Barrel Blaster!"
Focusing his attention onto the sorcerer, Don pulled both blasters from his hips. In a succession of shots, he hit his target, making the sorcerer growl out in pain.
Smirking, Chazz calmly said "Nice work Don. Now that you've been damaged, Don's effect kicks in. I get to pick between you discarding a card from your hand or you sending two cards from the top of your deck to the Graveyard. I think I'll pick the first one, so say goodbye to a card in your hand!"
Growling louder when a random card was picked, the sorcerer glared at Chazz when his Premature Burial entered the Graveyard. "I will not be humiliated by a child!" he screamed out.
"Well, that's your problem. In the meantime, I'm going to chill out, so go on, take your turn." (CS 1800, Chazz 2700)
Angrily drawing a card, the sorcerer said "I play Pot of Greed, meaning I draw two new cards!"
Picking up two new cards, the sorcerer's demeanor changed slightly. A smile played upon his face. With it, came a calm voice, saying "I have you now. I activate the special ability of my remaining Thunder Dragon in my hand, so I send it to the Graveyard. Of course, since I have no more Thunder Dragon's in my deck, I only get to shuffle my deck. Now then, I activate the spell card Symbol of Heritage! I can only use this card when I have three of the same monster in my Graveyard. Since all three of my Thunder Dragons are now in my Graveyard, I can use it. With it, I bring back one of my dragons and equip this card to it, so rise up Thunder Dragon (1600/1500)!"
With a light roar, a green snake like dragon with two wings appeared. It coiled up on the field, seemingly waiting to strike.
"I sacrifice my Thunder Dragon in order to summon my Kaiser Glider (2400/2200)!"
In a flash, the green dragon vanished, only to be replaced by a golden dragon with what looked like metal skin. It had a pair of wings on it's back, two strong legs and two strong arms, with sharp clawed hands and feet. It let out a small roar, showing it's true strength.
Chuckling, the sorcerer continued on, saying "Kaiser Glider, show that Duel Spirit reject how we deal with traitors! Attack Don Zaloog with Glider Strike!"
Roaring in response, the dragon reared back it's head. Snapping it back forward quickly, a golden blast of energy came streaking from it's jaws. The blast struck the grey haired man quickly, making him scream out in pain. The blast soon went through the man and struck Chazz head on, making him drop to one knee.
Panting lightly, Chazz slowly stood up, asking with a taunting voice "Is that it?"
Chuckling darkly, the sorcerer replied "You will fall soon enough boy. I end my turn." (CS 1800, Chazz 1700)
"It's going down to the wire on this duel!" Jaden exclaimed.
With a twinge of worry in her voice, Alexis asked "How can you be so excited? Chazz could lose everything."
Smiling, Jaden cheerfully replied "I know Chazz can do it. That's why I'm not worried. He'll win, just watch."
"I wish I could be as confident as you are in him." Alexis murmured to herself.
Picking up a new card, Chazz examined it and said "I place a card face down. That's it for me." (CS 1800, Chazz 1700)
With quick movements, the sorcerer picked up his own new card and smirked, saying "I place a card face down myself. Now, Kaiser Glider, send that green runt packing with Glider Strike!"
Rearing back it's head once more, the gold dragon snapped his head forward and released a burst of golden energy, which easily destroy the small green monster in front of Chazz and sent up a small puff of smoke.
The smoke slowly rolled away from the blast that the green creature was hit with, leaving no trace of it. Smirking, the sorcerer called out "That only leaves two." (CS 1800, Chazz 1700)
Drawing a card, Chazz slightly grimaced and said "I pass this turn." (CS 1800, Chazz 1700)
