Hey there everyone! Well, this weekend wasn't too bad. Friday night, I spent most of it at work, doing a bit of testing and then some gaming. It was a good time and all. The rest of the weekend wasn't too bad either, although it sucked that my mate had to work the evening shift both days. Oh well, but nothing really happened I suppose. Watched Naruto Saturday night, and then watched the Sarah Conner Chronicles last night, which I must say, was pretty interesting thus far. Lol, I had to laugh at the one scene where the female terminator was digging a bullet out with Sarah sitting there, and Sarah commented she may want to holster those (terminator was topless, hehe). That series looks to be rather interesting, and I hope I can continue to watch it.
This weekend was a good time for writing. I did a good bit on Another, and got some ideas for MtM. I just need to write the MtM part out, but I think I know how it'll go down. I'm still in the thought process that Another will begin posting this month, so have some faith in that. Also, MtM's posting date is questionable. I know for certain, much like FG, it will not be ready to begin immediately upon the end of this story. It will most likely be a month or two possibly, much like how FG was a few months after TWS wrapped up. Please do be patient with me and ardee. We're working hard on getting MtM done, but at the same time, life happens. Anyways, we'll try to get it done in a timely manner.
Last time, Jaden's dream duel with Yugi continued on with him summoning Elemental Hero Neos to combat Dark Magician. The two are squaring off, with each seemingly equal in power. Who will get the upper hand, and if they get it, how long will that last? And more importantly, can Jaden make his dream come true and beat the King of Games, or will Yugi defend his title once more?
Ok, moving on, time for the reviews!
Nathan: LOL! No problem for playing Metamorphosis on Bubbleman to get Neo Bubbleman. I figured I'd stick with the show's effect to in summoning him. Yes, it makes so much more sense than OCG does. I still don't get why they botched that one up so badly… Glad that the duel keeps getting better. LOL! You know, I got to pondering about the saying "ja'ne" myself, and I actually did look it up. It roughly means see you later or until next time. Go figure, hehe. Thanks for the review!
Knives91: Yep, the battle rolls on. Thanks for the review.
Ultimate Legendary Master: Thank you. Hmm, a duel to end it all… it could be like the graduation duel from season 1. True though that you could be wrong. I'll never say, hehe. Yes, having Zell taking over Zane was kind of showing that's how Hell Kaiser was sort of born. I like Hell Kaiser myself over Dark Zane. It sounds so much better. Thanks for the review!
sirbj: Why hello, and welcome to the reviews. Thanks for adding me as a favorite author. Thanks about the duel. True, most people want to see a duel with Yugi and Jaden, just to see who is the better duelist. A tag team duel with Seto and Yugi vs. Illidan and Jaden would be interesting to watch too, although Jaden and Chazz didn't do too well against Illidan and Marie, lol. Then again, Illidan and Marie are a very tough team anyways. Yes, the whole Zell taking over Zane thing should be interesting. Thanks very much for your review. I hope to see you around again.
DuelistBlake1852: Very true, neither Yugi nor Jaden can out due one another. It's as if they're stuck in a deadlock. Lol, yes Yami, Yugi pointed out that Jaden is truly Illidan and Marie's descendant. That will become more apparent soon enough. LOL! Nice ending with Yami chasing you with his hair. I'm sure it's sharp enough to pierce anything. I mean seriously, he has too much hair gel in it. Thanks for the review!
Well, the reviews were very fun to do this morning. Thanks to everyone who submitted one. And thank you to those who have added my stories to their favorites recently. It just occurred to me that I no longer have those names in my email, which sucks, lol. Oh well, but thank you all for adding me and for your continuous support through reviews and adds to your favorites. It means a lot to me to see my stories are liked and that people have comments on them. I always enjoy reading the feedback. Thank you again to everyone for your support.
Alright, that's it for me today. I should post Wednesday like always, so till then, I hope you all have a good few days. Enjoy!
Chapter 80
Slowly drawing his next card, Yugi studied it for a moment before saying "I'll place this face down and end my turn." (Yugi 4500, Jaden 4700)
Drawing his card without hesitation, Jaden looked it over. Looking up, he called out "Neos, attack the far left hat with Cosmic Crush!"
Leaping into action, the white warrior pulled back his right fist and sent blue energy into it. Coming down hard, he pummeled the hat before him with his blue glowing fist, only to find yet another empty hat.
"You're down to two hats Yugi. That Dark Magician can't hide forever. I'll end my turn." (Yugi 4500, Jaden 4700)
Picking up a new card, Yugi smiled. "I may not be able to hide Dark Magician much longer, but he will outlast your monster. I play the spell Ties of the Brethren! First, I must give up 1000 life points. After that, I'm allowed to special summon two level four monsters from my deck in defense mode."
While Yugi's life point counter decreased, he pulled his deck out and sorted through it. After a moment, he picked out two cards and placed the deck back in it's slot. Placing both cards horizontally onto his Duel Disk, Yugi said "The two monsters I've picked are Big Shield Guardna (100/2600) and Obnoxious Celtic Guardian (1400/1200)."
Appearing first onto the field was a warrior with long black hair wearing a teal and purple shirt with no sleeves, orange pants, and had a huge shield that covered almost all of his body whom was kneeling. Next to appear was an elf warrior wearing brown long sleeved shirt, tan pants, a purple cape, and green and silver armor with a green helmet. In his right hand was a long broad sword that he used to defend himself while in the kneeling stance.
"I shall now place Big Shield Guardna under the remaining empty hat, making it more difficult for you to find my Dark Magician."
The remaining hat instantly lifted up off the field and quickly covered the warrior. The two hats then began swirling wildly in circles till finally they came to a stop.
"I end my move at that." (Yugi 3500, Jaden 4700)
Picking up a new card, Jaden glanced at it and smirked. "I think it's time your Dark Magician came out of hiding, and I'll do it with this! I equip Neos with the spell card known as Assault Armor!"
A golden aura instantly began forming around the white warrior, giving his white skin a golden glowing color.
"Next, I activate the special ability of Assault Armor. By sending it to the Graveyard, Neos can now attack twice this turn!"
Instantly, the warrior lost his golden glow and returned to his normal white skin tone.
"Dark Magician is finished this turn! Neos, take the hat on the left with Cosmic Crush!"
Moving forward in the blink of an eye, the white warrior was on top of the hat. Throwing his fist forward with blue energy swirling around it, he smashed through the hat easily enough, but a loud thud sound was heard instantly. With the hat debris clearing, it was made clear he had hit the warrior with his large shield.
"Nice try Jaden, but you attacked Big Shield Guardna, who has less attack points than your Neos, meaning Skyscraper couldn't help him out in taking down my monster (3500 – 1000 2500/2000). Of course, Big Shield Guardna now has to switch to attack mode, but I'm not worried." Yugi pointed out.
Smiling, Jaden only eyed the lonely remaining hat that instantly vanished in a puff of smoke. Coming from the smoke was the powerful mage in purple robes. As the mage reappeared, the warrior with the large shield stood up from his sitting position, showing his readiness to battle.
Lightly chuckling, Jaden said "I may have missed my first try, but don't forget, Dark Magician is out in the clear, and Neos can attack again. Neos, attack Dark Magician now with Cosmic Crush (2500 1000 3500/2000)!"
Rushing forward with incredible speed, the white warrior powered up his right fist once more, sending blue energy swirling around it.
Gritting his teeth, Yugi called out "I don't think so Jaden. I play the trap Ambush Shield! Thanks to this trap, I can sacrifice one of my monsters on the field and add it's defense points to Dark Magician's attack points for one turn. My target is none other than Big Shield Guardna (2800 2600 5400/2400)!"
Vanishing into a cloud of particles, the large shield warrior's particles began surrounding the purple robed mage. Instantly, the mage's strength increased. Narrowly dodging the attack made by the warrior, the mage retaliated by stabbing his spear into the white warrior's side. Instantly, the white warrior cried out in pain and exploded into millions of pieces.
"NO, NEOS!" Jaden cried out. Cringing, Jaden let out a loud audible sigh, he slowly said "I'm not done. I play the spell O – Over Soul, allowing me to bring Neos back to the field (2500/2000)!"
Reappearing instantly onto the field, the large white warrior took up a fighting stance once more.
"I end my turn." (Yugi 3500, Jaden 2700)
Drawing his card quickly, Yugi smirked and said "I play the spell Card of Sanctity. We each are now allowed to draw till we hold six cards in our hands."
Both drew six cards exactly. Smiling, Yugi called out "I'm afraid these cards didn't help you out Jaden. I sacrifice Obnoxious Celtic Guardian to summon Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700)!"
Instantly the elf warrior vanished and in his place, a young woman with long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, wearing a skimpy blue and pink mage's dress that showed her cleavage quite well with the dress barely covering her back side, a blue and pink mage's hat, and a staff in her right hand took to the field.
"Now then, time to take care of that field spell. I activate the spell Mystical Space Typhoon! This let's me destroy one spell or trap card, so say farewell to your Skyscraper!"
Without warning, a large typhoon began tearing through the city buildings on the field, easily destroying them one by one. Soon enough, the entire city was leveled, leaving nothing behind but a softly growling Jaden.
"Dark Magician, attack his Neos with Dark Spear Strike!"
Leaping forward, the purple mage swung his mage out to his right side. Once he reached the peak of his jump and began falling downwards, the mage moved the spear to his front and came down hard onto the white warrior, easily piercing right through him. The white warrior could only cry out in pain before exploding, leaving Jaden alone on his field.
"Dark Magician Girl, show him your Burning Magic Attack!"
Winking at Jaden, the female mage began twirling her scepter till she finally pointed at him. A pink sphere of magical energy instantly formed at the tip of the scepter and was launched straight at Jaden. The blast hit him hard, making him cry out in pain as he slid backwards with his arms crossed.
Once the blast cleared, Jaden was seen barely standing. After a moment, he fell forward onto one knee, panting heavily.
"I place this card face down and end my turn. The end is coming Jaden, so prepare for it." (Yugi 3500, Jaden 400)
Heavily panting, Jaden sat on his one knee for a few minutes, trying desperately to catch his breath. Finally, he managed to and smiled.
Puzzled, Yugi pondered on Jaden's smile. "Why the smile? He should be ready to give up, yet he keeps coming back for more."
Standing up with a bit of a wobble, Jaden lightly chuckled and said "Man, I haven't been pummeled like that since last year."
Looking confidently at Yugi, he added "Still, I'm not done yet! So just watch this!"
Picking up a new card, Jaden smiled. "I play this, the spell The Warrior Returning Alive, allowing me to bring one Warrior Type monster from my Graveyard to my hand. I'll pick this, Elemental Hero Neos."
Instantly, Jaden's Duel Disk's Graveyard Slot glowed and pushed out the monster card into Jaden's waiting hand. Picking it up quickly, he held onto it while grabbing another card from his left hand. Turning both to Yugi, he smiled, saying "Next, I activate the spell Fake Hero, allowing me to special summon any Elemental Hero from my hand, so I pick Neos (2500/2000)!"
Rematerializing onto the field instantly, the white warrior took up his usual fighting stance.
"Time I play this, my spell known as R – Righteous Justice! Thanks to this, for each Elemental Hero out on my field, I can destroy one spell or trap card on your field. My pick is that, your face down card!"
Glowing red, the spell card image fired a beam straight at the face down, instantly revealing it to be a trap.
"No, Mirror Force!" Yugi growled out.
Smiling, Jaden commented "Sweet, I'm glad I got rid of that! Next up is Pot of Greed, meaning two new cards for me."
Quickly picking up two cards, Jaden smiled once more, saying "It's over for Dark Magician! I summon Neo-Spacian Dark Panther (1000/500)."
Instantly materializing onto the field was a black panther with a black cape tied around it's neck. The cat lightly growled and glared towards the two mages.
"I'm not done yet, because I'm bringing out another Neo-Spacian. I play the spell Common Soul, allowing me to pick target one of my monsters, and I'll pick Neos. Next, I can special summon from my hand another Neo-Spacian, and I'll pick this one, Neo-Spacian Glow Moss (300/900)!"
A glowing light green creature, which looked like a strange alien, with only two black holes for eyes appeared onto the field.
"Time to show you what's about to happen! I'm merging my three monsters together by Contact Fusion! This allows me to do a fusion without having to use Polymerization, but the monsters are returned to my deck instead of being sent to my Graveyard, plus the new monster I summon returns to my deck when my turn is over. But that's a price I'm willing to pay. Go, Neos, merge together with Glow Moss and Dark Panther to create…"
All three monsters instantly leaped into the air, with the white warrior taking up the middle and the other two flanking him on his left and right. Slowly, the two flanking the warrior began to move closer to him and a blinding light instantly flooded the field. Once the light died down, only one monster stood in the wake of the light. It was a mostly white creature with black forming on most of it's lower body with light green lights gleaming from traces on his body. The new warrior had a large wing span that had white outlines and red skin on the inside of the wings. The warrior's hands had large white claws that appeared rather sharp.
"… Elemental Hero Chaos Neos (3000/2500)!" Jaden declared.
Staring in surprise, Yugi mumbled "That thing, it reminds me of Illidan's Chaos monsters."
"Elemental Hero Chaos Neos, attack Dark Magician with Chaos Swipes!" Jaden called out, instantly snapping Yugi out of his daze.
Flying forward at an incredible speed, the warrior was on top of the mage before he could react. With a single swipe of his large white claws, the mage was cut in half, leaving the female mage alone.
Slightly growling in frustration, Yugi grumbled "Dark Magician…"
"Gone, but not forgotten." Jaden called out with a smile. Pulling a card out of his left hand, he continued on. "Next up, I activate the spell Contact Out! This let's me send Chaos Neos back to my Fusion Deck, but then, I'm allowed to special summon from my deck the three monsters that formed Chaos Neos, so come on back Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000), Neo-Spacian Dark Panther (1000/500), and Neo-Spacian Glow Moss (300/900)!"
Instantly, the large black and white creature split into three spheres of light. Once the spheres landed onto the ground, each took up a shape of a monster. The one on the left took up the form of the black panther with a black cape. On the right of the middle sphere, the form of the light green creature appeared. In the middle, the powerful white warrior took up his usual stance.
"It's not my style to beat up on women normally, but to win this duel, the girl has to go. Neos, attack Dark Magician Girl with Cosmic Crush!"
Rushing forward with his fist glowing bright blue, the powerful white warrior leapt into the air a few feet away from the young female mage, who stared wide eyed at the warrior.
Gritting his teeth, Yugi called out "Before Neos attacks, let me inform you about Dark Magician Girl's special ability. She gains 300 attack points for Dark Magician being in my Graveyard (2000 300 2300/1700)."
The female mage lightly glowed pink, but her eyes were still full of fear while tracking the white warrior coming towards her.
"Still not enough to beat Neos!" Jaden quickly replied.
The white warrior immediately slammed his fist into the female mage, blowing her away into millions of pieces.
Pointing at Yugi, Jaden declared "Dark Panther and Glow Moss, direct attack with Dark Swipes and Glow Lance!"
Swiftly moving forward, the dark panther swiped Yugi hard with his sharp clawed paw, making Yugi instantly cry out in pain. He wasn't allowed a moment's rest though, for the light green creature threw a green lance straight at him which hit him square on and pierced his chest, making him fall to one knee with heavy breathing.
"I'll throw down a few face downs and call it a turn." (Yugi 1800, Jaden 400)
Panting heavily, Yugi remained on his one knee for a few minutes. Seeing this, Jaden asked "Are you okay Yugi?"
Weakly smiling, Yugi nodded. With ragged breaths, he stood back up and closed his eyes, seemingly concentrating on slowing his breathing. After a few moments, he finally caught his breath and reopened his eyes with a smile on his face.
"This duel has pushed me pretty hard Jaden. I must say, I haven't had a duel like this since back in the old days when I used to duel Illidan, Seto Kaiba, and Joey Wheeler. You've pushed me hard, which is a true accomplishment." Yugi kindly said with a smile.
Turning serious as he drew his next card, he examined it and said "But this duel isn't over yet! I begin my turn by playing Monster Reborn! This spell is rather famous, so you know it's use. I now bring back Dark Magician (2500/2100) from my Graveyard!"
Appearing without a moment's hesitation was the purple robed mage once more. He instantly crossed his arms with his staff in hand upon his reappearance.
Holding a card up, Yugi calmly said "It's time to end this duel Jaden. You've played well, but it's over. I activate the spell Dark Magic Attack, allowing me to destroy all of your spell and trap cards. Whatever you had planned is gone now, so do it Dark Magician! Blast his cards with Dark Magic Attack!"
Aiming his staff at the three face down cards, the mage sent a wave of energy to his staff. It instantly began glowing at the tip with a bright glow of green magical energy. Without a bit of hesitation, the purple mage released a blast of green energy straight for the cards, seemingly focusing on getting rid of them.
Quickly swinging his right arm in front of himself to his right side, Jaden called out "Not so fast Yugi, I play a spell card! Go Emergency Provisions! Thanks to this card, by kicking a couple of spell/trap cards to the Graveyard, I gain a 1,000 points a piece. I'll go ahead and get rid of both my face downs, so farewell Polymerization and a sweet trap called Dummy Marker. Since it's destroyed, it activates next, allowing me to draw one more card."
Drawing a card, Jaden placed it into his left hand and added " Now I gain two grand in life points."
Just as the blast was about to hit, all three cards instantly vanished from the field, leaving the green blast of energy nowhere to strike and it simply exploded in mid-air.
Softly growling, Yugi roughly said "Very well, then Dark Magician, take out Glow Moss! Dark Magic Attack!"
Twirling his scepter, the purple robed mage let out a battle cry and pointed his staff at the light green creature. The mage quickly released a green sphere of energy straight at the alien creature, which just stared on at the blast. In a huge explosion, the blast scored a hit, pushing Jaden backwards a bit.
"I place a card face down and end my turn." (Yugi 1800, Jaden 200)
Wiping the sweat off of his brow, Jaden drew his next card and studied it for a moment. Smirking great big, he said "Time to take Dark Magician down again! I play the spell Gift of the Martyr. Here's how it works. By sacrificing one of my monsters on my field, I can strengthen another's attack points by the sacrificed monster's attack points. I'll give up Dark Panther and transfer his strength to Neos (2500 1000 3500/2000)!"
The dark panther on the field instantly vanished, but the white warrior immediately began glowing with a white aura. He raised his fists into the air as his body seemed to grow stronger and stronger.
"Neos, take it to him! Cosmic Crush!"
Leaping forward with blinding speed, the white warrior delivered a powerful blue aura fist into the gut of the purple robed mage. The mage barely had time to notice the hit as he simply looked at the warrior in complete shock before exploding.
Smirking, Yugi pressed a button on his Duel Disk, raising his face down card. "Nice try Jaden, but I have a trap. I play Mirage Ruler! This powerful trap activates when all monsters on my field are destroyed in one turn. Now I can special summon them back and restore my life points to what they were when this turn started. So welcome back Dark Magician (2500/2100) once more!"
Immediately reappearing onto Yugi's field was the purple robed mage. He took up his usual crossed arm stance and glared at the white warrior.
Grunting, Jaden dejectedly said "I end my turn." (Yugi 1800, Jaden 200)
Picking up a new card, Yugi examined it before placing it into a spell/trap slot. "I lay this card face down and end my turn." (Yugi 1800, Jaden 200)
