Hello again everyone. Well, it's a new week once again, with new things going on. My poor mate, she got sick Saturday night and felt so bad Sunday morning. She got better throughout the day, and is nearly back to normal. Thursday night, Friday, and part of Saturday, I had such a killer headache. I'm not one to usually take one, but I had one killer one for those three days. I finally got over it, but still, it wasn't something I enjoyed. It was so bad, I didn't go see my grandfather Friday due that it hurt my head just to drive home from work, so I knew a half an hour drive was out of the picture. Oh well, I'm going tonight, and then Wednesday, and possibly Friday.
Since my last time on, I got a great deal of work done on Another. I'm hoping, if I keep up this pace, to start posting on it in a week or two. It's just a matter of time I suppose. Once it's going, I hopefully will get some ideas on the sequel to this story. I have some, but they're mostly vague…
Last time, Chazz defeated Chaos Sorcerer to earn him The Winged Dragon of Ra. Upon receiving it, Illidan asked CS to join him once more, which willingly did and now the group are leaving the shrine. With Slifer being the next card to collect, can Jaden manage to complete the task?
Alright, time once again for the best part of the day! Review Time!
pink-kiss-candy: Yep, they're strong, lol. Very strong, hehe.
Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks. Lol, yes, I liked the tan part, along with other parts. I'm surprised I didn't get many laughs from everyone over the Ojamas' antics. Nah, I've not seen the abridged series of Yugioh. I did watch an episode of the abridged Fullmetal Alchemist, which it seemed funny at first, but eh, I prefer the original I suppose. Yep, Slifer's coming up next. Thanks for the comments.
Isis the Sphinx: Hurray! Oh wait, it was TGIF… Good for you that school is only 2 days. The same for work for me, hehe. I'm taking Wednesday off, and I have Thursday and Friday off anyways, so hurray! Lol, nice dance. Thanks for the comments.
ardee: Thanks. So true, you have to almost always special summon Ra from the Graveyard and do it's Phoenix form and then point-to-point. Thanks. Very true, the Ojamas can be deadly, if used right, I suppose, lol. Very true, the monarchs are the true power in the game currently. Heh, I only had one monster to really counter them for the most part, which was Kaiser Glider. I know, corny and dumb, but hey, with few playing equips and if I was able to keep it out, it worked. True, Chaos still rules traditional yet. I always played advanced format though, since everyone else seemed to. A Namine stunt, me? Nah… Cool about adding me. Lol, I stayed on some this weekend, but I realized we maybe in different time zones, plus could be on at different times. I'm normally on at night, like 9 or later, and I'm in the Eastern Standard Time zone, so if that helps, use it. Thanks for the comments.
x-knight20: Thanks. The idea for Anubis actually came from a rumor I had heard about the Egyptian Gods had a fusion form. When I got to thinking about it, I thought, why not make my own version since I hadn't seen or heard what the form was yet. So, I began thinking about it, and it occurred to me finally to do Anubis, the God of Life and Death, since I had read up on the real one. Well, when I finished up, I was satisfied, and decided that it would be a great card. Of course, later in the Yugioh series, they had a fusion of the Gods be the Creator of Light, but eh, I like Anubis better, lol.
Thanks for all the reviews everyone. Wow, I'm nearing the 300 mark, and we've got a ways to go yet. I think this story will most definitely top TWS in reviews, which will be exciting to see. As for topping ToP, eh, I doubt it. Like TWS, this story isn't as long as ToP, but it is longer than TWS, so we'll see. Length wise though, this story has TWS beat, most definitely. TWS had 230k in words (rounded #), and this one so far has 206k (rounded) so far, and there is more to come. I don't think I'll beat ToP's stats in words or reviews, but I'm more than willing to try. We'll just have to see.
Ok, that's all for this round. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Bye for now!
Chapter 54
Emerging from the shrine, the group was greeted by the setting sun. Checking the time, Illidan called out "We'll go eat and then we'll head back here."
The group simply nodded and began the trek back towards the dorms. Not even a hundred feet from the shrines though, the group was stopped by a figure leaning up against a tree.
Looking the figure over, they saw that he had shoulder blade length red hair that was somewhat spiked and a Ra Yellow jacket. His eyes were closed, as if he was waiting for something. Hearing the group approaching, he opened his eyes to reveal aqua colored eyes.
"About time you guys got here. I see you survived the guardian there Chazz." the young man mockingly said.
Slightly curious, Illidan calmly asked "Axel, why are you out here?"
Pushing off of the tree, Axel stood before the group, saying "I'm here to take Chazz's Egyptian God Card. My Master has great need for it."
"Zell again, eh? Well, unlike your last friend, you'll have to get through me to get to Chazz!" Illidan stated. Putting his arms out in front of the group, he took up a protective position, showing his intentions.
Turning his palm towards Illidan, Axel calmly said "It has nothing to do with you, now step aside."
Shaking his head, Illidan remained where he stood. Shrugging, Axel simply said "Fine then, I'll make you move."
Within a millisecond, Axel formed a flaming sphere of energy and released it straight at Illidan, who went to block, only to be met by a small explosion from the sphere. The explosion threw Illidan rolling to the side of the group, leaving them exposed.
"I want you, and you alone Chazz. How about it, think you can handle that?" Axel questioned.
Smirking, Chazz simply replied "Count on it. I'll make short work of you."
Quickly getting up, Illidan called out "NO CHAZZ! Don't duel him! That's what Zell wants you to do!"
"I'm not one to back down Professor Illidan, and I'm not going to now." Chazz replied with calmness.
Moving to a small clearing, Axel and Chazz moved into position to duel. Both quickly shuffled their decks and placed them back into their Duel Disks, which instantly activated each. Each Duel Disk released their hidden slots and fully came to life. Simultaneously, Chazz and Axel drew five cards and called out "Game on!"
Drawing his sixth card, Axel said "Since I'm challenging you, I'll go first. You're in for a long and grueling duel, so sit back and strap in. Oh yeah, and one more thing."
Pushing his hair back with his right hand, Axel seriously said "I will end you. Memorize it!"
That said, the field darkened as a black sphere appeared around the two. The sphere was transparent, but was clearly darker than previously.
"A Shadow Game…" Illidan mouthed. "Hang on Chazz. I know you're worn out, but you have to hang on to win this duel."
Taking a card from his hand, Axel slapped it to his Duel Disk, saying "I summon Fox Fire (300/200) in defense."
A small red fox with a red flame on the tip of it's tail appeared onto the field sitting on it's hind feet.
"To end, I set two cards face down. Let's see if you can do anything." (Axel 8000, Chazz 8000)
Picking up his new card, Chazz only chuckled, saying "You are so dumb. Since you had something to say, I think it's time I shared something with you. It's time I Chazzed you up! Memorize that!"
Slightly annoyed, Axel simply said "Just go already."
"Gladly! I summon Armed Dragon LV3 (1200/900)!"
Appearing on the field was a small orange skinned dragon with dull grey metal armor. Opening it's mouth, it clamed down making a clanging sound while it also smacked it's punching glove like fists together.
"Armed Dragon, attack that pitiful fox with Armor Punch!"
Leaping forward, the dragon raised it's punching glove like hands and pulled back it's right arm.
Before it could make it, Axel called out "You fell into my trap! I activate Backfire! Thanks to this, when a Fire Attribute monster is destroyed, you lose 500 life points!"
Chazz could only slightly growl in frustration while he watched his dragon continuing forward. In a quick release, the dragon struck the fox hard, making the fox cry out in pain when it shattered into pieces. Once the fox disappeared, the trap card on Axel's field began to glow with red fire. From the card came a blast of flames straight at Chazz, scorching him. The flames did no damage, but Chazz was lightly smoking from the hit.
"I'll set this face down and call it a …"
Chuckling, Axel wagged his finger, saying "Not quite yet Chazz. My Fox Fire has a very special ability. You see, when he's destroyed while face up, I get to bring him back in the End Phase of the turn he was destroyed. So, Fox Fire (300/200), come on back!"
A small flame on the field ignited. Slowly, from the flame came the small fox creature, taking up a defensive stance once more.
Growling with irritation, Chazz gruffly said "Fine, I end my move then." (Axel 8000, Chazz 7500)
Smirking while he drew, Axel said "I think it's time I turned up the heat."
Opening his field spell slot, Axel continued with "Let's crank up the heat with the field spell Molten Destruction!"
Once the slot closed, the field shimmered for a moment before a large volcano came out of the ground. The surrounding field soon turned brown and destitute. Lava came shooting out of the top of the volcano, making the entire group somewhat shrink back a bit.
"While my Molten Destruction is in play, all Fire attribute monsters gain 500 more attack points, but lose 400 defense points, but hey, that's all good. So, my little Fox Fire gets a bit stronger (300 + 500 800/200 – 400 0)."
The small fox slightly glowed while the flame on it's tail began to burn brighter.
"Next, I summon Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4 (1600 + 500 2100/1000 – 400 600)."
A silver metallic looking bird like dragon materialized onto the field with it's wings folded up.
"Now then, I switch Fox Fire into attack mode, and Horus, show 'The Chazz' what real dragon is like! Attack his pathetic Armed Dragon with Black Flame Burst!"
Letting out a small shriek, the silver dragon launched itself into the air. Taking aim, the dragon opened it's jaws and released a stream of black flames that struck the small orange skinned dragon. The incredible heat easily destroyed it, allowing the remaining black flames to hit Chazz, who could only shield his body from the heat. Fresh smoke began to pour off of his body, but Chazz remained standing.
"Fox Fire, show Chazz you're more than a pretty face! Flaming Fox Tail Lash!"
Rushing forward, the little red fox bound straight for Chazz. Leaping into the air, the fox spun around, smacking it's tail into Chazz's face, making him take a few steps backwards.
"I think that'll do it for now. Oh yeah, by the way, since I'm moving to my End Phase, my dragon's effect kicks in. Since he destroyed a monster in battle, he evolves into Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 (2300/1600)!"
The small silver dragon was suddenly hidden by black flames. From the flames, large silver wings came out, along with a long silver tail, a pair of powerful talon legs, and finally the main body of the silver metal dragon was seen. It still looked like a large bird, but a much more powerful bird.
"Unfortunately, Horus is unaffected by spell cards, which means my field spell doesn't help him grow stronger, but that is alright. Memorize that effect, if you value your life points." (Axel 8000, Chazz 5800)
Staring at the duel, Illidan muttered "Chazz can't keep taking hits like that."
Hearing Illidan, Jaden nodded, adding "I know, but Chazz is tough. He'll make it."
"I hope, because at this rate, it'll be over before long." Alexis commented.
Preparing to draw his card, Chazz silently pondered what to do. Knowing he had no choice but to continue, he drew his card and smirked. "You may have gotten to me last turn, but no more! I activate the spell Graceful Charity, so I draw three cards, but I get to send two to the Grave when I'm done."
Picking up three new cards, he smirked even more and picked out two cards. Holding them up for Axel to see, he said "I send Ojamagic and Enchanting Fitting Room to my Graveyard."
Placing the cards into his Graveyard Slot, he watched at the two slowly slid in. Once more smirking, Chazz continued saying "By the way, when I send the spell Ojamagic to my Graveyard, it's effect goes off. Now I can add the three Ojama Brothers to my hand."
Searching his deck, he picked out all three and placed them within his hand. "Time to kick things up a notch, so I play the spell Ojama Get Ride! With this little baby, I can send the three Ojamas from my hand to my Graveyard and special summon any level four or lower Machine type monsters in defense. The three I pick are X-Head Cannon (1800/1500), Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600), and Z-Metal Tank (1500/1300)!"
One by one, the three machines materialized onto the field. The first was a blue and yellow robot that floated on a sphere and had a pair of large cannon barrels stuck out of it's chest. The next was a red mechanical dragon with a pair of long wings. Finally, a blue and yellow tank like creature appeared.
"Now I remove all three from play in order to fuse them together, so come together my XYZ-Dragon Cannon (2800/2600)!"
Launching into the air by use of their thrusters, the three machine creatures began to form into one creature. The tank became the bottom and took up position while waiting for the other two to link up. Slowly, the red dragon's wings broke off of it's body and it retracted it's head. The large blue robot creature lowered itself into a port within the dragon's back and linked up, before finally the two came crashing down onto the blue and yellow tank, which hooked up as well. A bit of electricity flashed through the air when the three finally fully powered up.
"I'm far from done though, for activate the spell Ojamandala. I pay 1000 life points to bring back all three of my Ojamas, so welcome back Ojama Yellow (0/1000), Ojama Green (0/1000), and Ojama Black (0/1000)!"
A yellow creature with eyes on tentacles and large lips, accompanied by a black creature with a big nose, and finally a green creature with a single eye all three emerged onto the field. With each standing on a horizontal card image, the three creatures in pink bikini briefs yelled out "Tada!"
Slightly sweat dropping, Axel chuckled and shook his hand, using his right hand to cover his face. "Those three things are pathetic."
Smirking at this, Chazz smartly said "You may think they're pathetic right now, but wait till they clean your clock. Boys, I think it's time we show everyone your newest trick!"
"You mean it boss?" the yellow creature asked with hopefulness.
Getting a nod back from Chazz, all three creatures smiled happily. Seeing this, Chazz called out "I play the spell Ojama Delta Thunder!"
Leaping into the air, the yellow creature called out "Let's go guys!"
In unison, the remaining two called back "Right!"
Placing their butts together, the three cried out "Ojama Delta Thunder!"
"Uh, what are they doing?" Axel asked with a curious look.
Chuckling, Chazz replied "They're about to tear you apart. You see, I'm going to activate Ojama Delta Thunder's secondary effect also, so I need to send Ojama Delta Hurricane to my Graveyard from my deck."
Taking the card out of his deck and placing it into his Graveyard, Chazz pointed at Axel and said "Boys, do your thing!"
The three creatures nodded and began spinning rapidly. While they spun, lightning formed around them till a twister with several lightning bolts shooting off of it became visible overhead of Axel and his monsters.
"What the!?" Axel mouthed with uncertainty.
With little warning, the tornado descended, striking Axel and his creatures. The small fox was instantly hit, along with the two cards on his field while the silver dragon only seemed to remain untouched. Lastly, his hand holding his cards was struck, sending a bolt of lightning through his body, making him scream out in pain. The pain was too intense, and he finally fell to his knees, panting heavily.
Once the storm quieted, the three weaker creatures fell from the sky and back onto the horizontal card images. They were lightly panting, but each smirked at their handiwork.
"Nice job boys." Chazz commented.
Unsure of what happened, Jaden asked "What was that?"
"I'm… not sure." Illidan flatly stated.
Seeing everyone was curious to what happened, Chazz chuckled and said "Since no one knows that happened just now, I'll explain it, slowly. Ojama Delta Thunder first does 500 points of damage per a card on the Axel's field, plus the number of cards in his hand. Finally, when I sent Ojama Delta Hurricane to my Graveyard, I got to destroy everything on Axel's field."
"Not quite… everything." Axel struggled to say as he stood up once more.
Looking to see what Axel meant, Chazz slightly gasped. The silver dragon still remained, unfazed at all. Growling, Chazz roughly asked "Why is that thing not dead!?"
With labored breaths, Axel chuckled and began explaining. "Remember, I told you to memorize something. Well, it was my dragon's effect. He isn't affected by spell cards, so he can't be destroyed by that pathetic storm."
Shrugging, Chazz simply replied "No matter. You still took a good hit. After all, you hold two cards in your hand, plus four cards on your field, already excluding your dragon. That's a hefty 3000 points of damage, which isn't anything easy to smirk about. Plus, I destroyed everything you had."
Slightly smirking, Axel said "You also did me a favor. You destroyed my face down trap card, Dormant Volcano! When it gets destroyed, you lose 300 life points!"
Suddenly, the ground beneath of Chazz began to steam up. Cracks immediately formed and an explosion of hot lava came shooting out, striking Chazz. He cried out in pain, but stood after the lava receded.
"Oh yeah, by the way, since you destroyed my trap, in one turn, we each get to add a Fire monster to our hands. Be grateful I helped you out."
Slightly snarling at this, Chazz snapped out "Very well then, but prepare to lose it all! XYZ-Dragon Cannon, I activate your effect. By sending this card, my Ojamachine Yellow, to my Grave, I can destroy a card on your field, and I choose your dragon!"
Aiming it's twin cannons, the combo machine creature released a pair of twin laser blasts at the dragon. The blast hit hard, smashing it into pieces.
"XYZ-Dragon Cannon, direct attack with Cannon Burst!"
With deadly aim, the weapons on the combo creature released a group of laser blasts, each just as strong as the other. The series of blasts soon struck Axel head on, who was knocked to his hands and knees while panting heavily.
Smirking at his handiwork, Chazz mockingly asked "Had enough!? Well, in case you haven't, I end my turn, so do your worst!" (Axel 2200, Chazz 4500)
Very slowly, Axel stood back up. Bit by bit, his breathing evened out, till finally he was no longer panting. Glaring at Chazz, he drew his card, but smirked. "You're going to love this. I activate the spell Premature Burial, which lets me bring back my Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 (2300/1600) from my Graveyard."
Reappearing onto the field in a sphere of black flames, the dragon dispersed the flames and took up an offensive stance.
"Next, I activate the spell card Level Up, which lets me trade in my level six Horus for Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 (3000/1800)!"
A large sphere of black flames surrounded the silver dragon in a flash. From the flames came a larger set of silver metal wings, a longer tail, stronger talon legs, powerful silver arms, and at long last, a large silver head. With a massive roar, the flames dispersed.
"Horus, obliterate that tin can with Darkness Flames!"
Roaring once more, the dragon beat it's massive wings. Lifting off of the ground, the dragon opened it's jaws, revealing black flames in it's mouth. Breathing out, the flames came spewing out in a stream straight for the machine creature. The blast tore through it easily, leaving the mechanical monster dismantled.
Chazz could only growl with irritation, but Axel chuckled at this. "You will fail to beat me Chazz. For now, I'll end my turn with a face down. Make your move." (Axel 1400, Chazz 4300)
Picking up a card, Chazz slightly frowned once more. When he was about to speak, Axel cut in, saying "Sorry, but I must remind you about Dormant Volcano. Remember, we each get a Fire Attribute monster now."
Pulling his deck out, Axel quickly glanced through it and picked a card, saying "I pick my Gaia Soul the Combustible Collective. How about you?"
Looking through his deck, Chazz finally muttered "I have no Fire Attribute monsters."
Shrugging, Axel smartly remarked "Too bad. Now, continue whatever it was you were doing."
Slightly growling at the comment, Chazz remarked "You'll eat those words. I play the spell Polymerization! Time for some fusion …"
"Not quite." Axel interrupted. "How quickly you forget about my dragon."
"What do you mean?" Chazz gruffly asked.
Smirking, Axel responded with "My dragon in it's previous level, six, couldn't be affected at all by spell cards. In his new form, level eight, he allows me to choose which spell cards can be activated. That means I have total control of what spell cards are played. If I want one to activate, it happens, but if not, then they're negated."
"That means…" Alexis slowly began.
Finishing Alexis's sentence, Jaden said "Chazz is in trouble. He uses lots of spell cards which is bad."
Seeing Chazz growling in frustration, Axel smartly remarked "Now, shall we get on with it? I use Horus's effect to negate your spell card, so tough luck."
"Just go then." Chazz snapped out. (Axel 1400, Chazz 4300)
