Chapter 2 Testing for deadly reasons I

Kevin awoke in his twin size bed to see a shining light blazing against his window. Kevin checked the time and saw that it was 11:42 AM. Kevin had the day off since it was saturday. Kevin rose from his bed and got into the shower. Kevin brushed his teeth, washed his hair, and other showerly thing. He then got dressed and walked into the kitchen to see Jaxis enjoying a bowl of peanut butter Captain Crunch.

"Good morning sunshine" Jaxis said with a smile.

"how you doing buddy?" Kevin also said with a small smile. "Not doing much but I did want to go to the park today." Jaxis suggested. "Maybe you could find a duelist to duel and you could improve on some of your techniques and stratagies with you spell casters."

"My techniques?" Kevin said in a confused matter. "What's wrong with my stratagies? Are they not up to snuff?" Kevin spat out the words as he poured some of the Captain Crunch. "No, your techniques are great but for this tournament your entering you need more then just the Maha valio combo. You only won because of giant trunade really." Jaxis said as kevin took a seat at the table next to Jaxis. "I had scrap iron scarecrow. I could have stopped your attack. Who knows what would have happened after that. My Nostalgic Knight had another ability to handle light type monsters like Maha valio."

"It does?" Kevin said surprised.

"Yeah it does man. I'm not gonna say what that is but just keep that in mind. Oh and another thing." Jaxis pulled out of his pocket a deck of duel monsters cards.

"Ummm...What's that?" Kevin asked.

"It's your new magician deck. You know I'm an expert at deck building. I added alot of good cards."

"So let me get this straight, you want me to go to the park, with you, find a duelist, and test out new combo with these deck?" Kevin said making sure. "Yes sir. I also wanna talk you about the specific deck flow of this certain magician deck and the combos you could make from it." Jaxis started again. He began laying the cards face-up across the table in rows of 5.

"What kinda deck is that? Why is Solemn wishes here? and Reinforcements?" Kevin began asking many questions about the deck in general. Jaxis covered his mouth with his hand.

"Shut up and give me some time to talk. Alright!" Jaxis shouted. "We are testing a new thing I call a "Magical power heal"." Jaxis said as he removed his hand from Kevin's mouth. " It focuses on healing your life point, Keeping your Magicians on the field so you can summon your more powerful monsters, and keeping them strong and ready for battle. You get me so far?" Jaxis asked and Kevin nodded his head. "Good. Now let talk techniques." The two duelist discussed the various card effects and how Kevin could best utilze them in situations. Kevin began to under stand the deck more and more as Jaxis taught him about it. Soon Kevin was coming up with techniques Jaxis didn't think of. They talked for over half and hour.

"Man I like this deck. It's got just the balance I need. I just can't lose." Kevin said in an excited tone. "I'm glad you've gotten used to the decks idea. Now lets see if you will get used to the deck itself. You ready to go?" Jaxis asked. "Oh yeah I'm excited for this." The two gathered the cards and a duel disk and headed out the door.

Meanwhile... In the abandoned building The muscular man in black and red robes, Conan is sitting in a large blood red chair. Daisugo, the black and red robed servant appeared next to him along with a very pale man wearing a red muscle shirt and black jeans. He was very well built and was very handsome. The two bowed down to Conan. "Sir I bring you Tyson Kilter. I believe he will be the one who is to test your deck?"

Daisugo said as he raised himself up from his bow. Tyson copied the action. "Yes, Tyson will be my deck tester. Your mission, Tyson is to duel the boy and see how well he fairs againsts the likes of my deck. I want you to let him win though. No matter what he need to deliver the finishing move. His spirit has to be high for our plans to work." Conan explained as he stared at Tyson with piercing red eyes.

"Sir I will devote all my skill to make him win." Tyson spoke with a strong average voice. "May I ask sir what kind of deck you are using against the boy?" Tyson continued. "You will find out once you use it won't you?" Conan spoke with irritation in his tone. "Why do you trouble the master with such a meaningless question!" Daisugo asked in a warning tone. "I was just asking out of curiousity sir!" Tyson said with confusion. "Do not bother me with "questions of CURIOUSITY!" Conan yelled and a strong black wind blew Daisugo and Tyson out of the room. Conan was completely fuming with anger and annoyence. "INCOMPATENCE!" He slammed his hands against the table and the two reappeared again. Instead of standing they were on the floor recovering from their fall. The quickly got back up noticing they were back in the room.

"Now where were we boys" Conan asked calmly. Tyson was still in a small case of shock but Daisugo recovered just as fast. " You were about to give Tyson the deck to test ." "Ah yes that is where we were." Tyson snapped out of his case of shock and gained his compulsure as quickly as possible showing no signs of doing so. Conan grabbed a deck out of robe pocket and handed it to Tyson. Tyson quickly grabbed the deck. "th-th-thanks sire. I wi-wi-will complete my mission now!" Tyson dissapeared. Daisugo bowed and dissapeared as well.

Kevin and Jaxis arrive at the park. They see many duels going on. They also saw many rare and powerful duel monster cards such as Red eyes black dragon, Masked beast, Zera the Mant, and even a Winged Kuriboh.

"Looks like Saturday is the place to go." Kevin said. "You got that right" Jaxis agreed as the started to walk around.

"So who looks like a good contestant against you and your new good deck?" Jaxis asked. Kevin didn't reply. He was too busy looking for an eligable duelist. Then sudden out of the corner of his eyes. a young lady with light blue hair appeared. she had on a white shirt with a long blue skirt. She was very beautiful

"Hi" the girl said.

"How you doin'! I'm Jaxis and this my pal Kevin". Jaxis said in a smooth mannor.

"Hi I'm Carman. nice to meet both of you." She said politly

"I see that you duel Carman" Kevin asked. He saw a blue dye duel disk. "Oh yeah I guess I'm pretty good. I love dueling. It brings me great fun and pleasure." She explained Jaxis developed a huge grin on his face. "Hey we both like to duel too. We both love it as well." Jaxis said in his smooth mannor again. Then moved closer to the girl. "So have you heard of the tournament that coming up? My buddy here is going to enter. HE a very talented duelist. He is going to dominate the compation." Jaxis boasted to Carman. "

"oh you found that flyer too? I'm going to enter as well. I need the money to maintain a good life for my Mom and little brother, Noah." Carman said "Oh well I guess a potiencial rival huh?" Kevin asked and chuckled a bit.

"yea. I most certainly not going to lose." She said with confindence.

Suddenly a man in a red muscle shirt appared. He held a black dye duel disk. "Hey babe. How you doing?" He had a strong average voice. He looked a Kevin and Jaxis with arrogant red eyes. "Who are you two losers?" He said.

"Losers?" Kevin said. "Where the hell do you get off calling me a loser? Caliing us losers!" Kevin yelled in outrage.

Carman budded in quickly "Tyson why did you call them that. You had no right or reason!" "This is nothing that involves you Carman. Please just gimme your duel disk." Tyson asked and she detached her disk and handed him the thing.

"Hey Lug head you duel right?" Jaxis asked as he pushed Kevin toward Tyson. "Put your skill where your mouth is and duel my friend here."Jaxis suggested "You won't get away with your insult you jack ass!" Kevin yelled. "Alright little man. I'm gonna use my tester deck on you." he said.

"Oh well lookie here I'm testing a deck too! Now lets cut the chit chat and get on with this now!" Kevin demand and both the duelist slid their decks in the deck slot and activated their duel disk. Then the two duelist shouted "Duel!"

K:4000 T:4000

The two drew their 5 cards each. Jaxis and Carman moved close together in order to watch the duel and converse with each other. "You know my man Kevin's got this in the bag. This deck is unstoppable." Jaxis boasted and Carman sighed. "You don't know anything about my man's skill." She shot back.

"I'll start us off." Tyson said as he drew a 6th card. "I summon mangled zombie in attack mode!" from the ground a very old corpes appeared it's arms and fingers were twisted together to brink of looking at it was painful (1300/1200). "Like my monster?" He asked. "That a retorical question hopefully." Kevin said in disgust. "A what question?" Tyson asked. "Nevermind just continue the turn." Kevin gave up. "I play 1 face-down card. Your turn." Kevin drew a card.

"Not the most ripe fruit of the bunch" Kevin thought as he looked at his hand. He saw one of Jaxis's potiencial techniques already. "I start with my Skilled white magician!" A magician in white robes appeared(1700/1900). " I now activate spell absortion! Now between you and me all spells activated give me 500 extra life points. Now Skilled white magician attack Mangled zombie!"

"When you attack my mangled zombie you lose 500 life points." Tyson added after Skilled white magician destroyed Magled zombie.

T:3600 K:3500

"I end my turn with one face-down." Kevin said and Tyson drew a card. "Next up I summon festering warrior!" A man in a blue jumpsuit appared. His skin was rotton and black (1500/1200). "I now activate my face-down Curse of the graveyard. I can not pay 300 life points and I can special summon one zombie type monster from my graveyard." Tyson explained. " Now I play graceful charity. I draw 3 cards and I have to discard 2 from my hand in return."

"Hey man spell absourtion activated and I gain back the 500 life points I lost basically." Kevin interrupted and his life increased.

K:4000

Tyson discarded two level eight monsters from his hand because of graceful charity. "Now I activate call of the graveyard! I pay 300 and special summon Dark red abyss!" A red mist appeared in the form of large dragon (2900/1000).

T:3300

"I told you your man had no chance." Carman said. Jaxis didn't reply

"I will now attack your Skilled white magician with Dark red abyss! Suffacation of pain!" Kevin then yelled out "Hold it! I activate magic cylinder! This revearces the attack back to you directly!" "Don't get to excited now I activate Dark red abyss's effect. I discard the top card from my deck to the graveyard and the damage I would have taken is reduced to zero." Tyson sent a level seven zombie to the graveyard from the top of the deck. "I now end my turn." Tyson said.

"Now look at Kevin holding his own out their!" Jaxis said and Carman rolled her eyes.

"I draw!" Kevin shouted. "YES! I now play card of saintnity. We both draw till we have six cards!" The 2 duelist drew their needed amounts each. "I gain 500 because of that spell"

K:4500

"Next I activate my Skilled dark magician's effect. We have played 3 spell cards so he has 3 spell counters and now I tribute him to summon the Buster blader from my deck!" A large man in intense black armor appeared with a giant sword (2600/2300). "Now play monster reborn to bring him back!" The white robed magician reappeared (1700/1900)." I now activate tribute doll! I released the magician for a better monster... Dark magician girl for a matter of fact!" The famous woman in black robed appeared and looked dashing as ever (2000/1700). "Also guess what I'm still not done! I add a sage's stone to all of this!"
A gasp was heard from Jaxis, Carman, and Tyson.

"This allows me to summon Dark magician from my deck if I have Dark magician girl on the field!" Soon following the purple robed magician appeared with is famous staff (2500/2100).

"look at that field!" Carman exclaimed. She saw Dark magician, Dark magician girl, and Buster blader on the same side of the field summoned on the same turn. "Incredible!" Jaxis said in awe. Tyson was really intimidated. "Okay now I just played 3 spell cards so I gain 1500 life points thanks to spell absourtion."

K:6000

"How did you...manage to get that good a hand!" Jaxis and Tyson asked. Kevin just strugged his shoulder. "I've never gotten them all out before though. I better use them... I now play another spell called magicians unite! This card boost one of my magicians attack to 3000 for the turn. Only one of them can attack though. I choose Dark Magician to attack because Dark magician girl cannot attack this turn any way because, of the summoning conditions with tribute doll. I gain another 500 now since I played another spell." Kevin continued.

K:6500

"Now I attack Dark red abyss with Dark magician! GO black magic attack!(3000/2100)" The monster released a powerful blast of magic at the mist creature. "I send a card from my deck to the grave and reduce the damage to zero."Tyson shot out as he discarded the card from his deck.

"I now attack festering warrior with Buster blader! Go dragon slayer slash!" Buster blader made easy work on the zombie.

T:2200

"I can now special summon a zombie from my graveyard since you destroyed Festering warrior. I summon Black mist gorge in Defense mode!" Another monster made of mist appeared. The mist was black this time and it formed the shape of a cube (1000/4000)

"4000 defense points!" Kevin exclaimed!

"Yeah. Enjoy them. I know I will." Tyson said.

"I end my turn with a face-down card." Kevin said/

"DRAW!" Tyson said. " I now activate curse of the graveyard and summon Purple oxy!" Another mist monster appeared. It was purple and formed the shape of a gigantic sword (3000/0).

"Bring it on buddy." Kevin said. He hoped that it would bother him but it did nothing.

"I now play mist formation! This card halves my life points and I now can summon Dark red abyss from the grave!" The red dragon appeared again (2800/1000).

"I gain 500 life point because of the spell smarty." Kevin added.

K:7000 T:1100

"It's now about time I took control of this duel. I activate another spell called heavy storm! This destroys the spells and traps on the field!" A strong wind blew the spells and traps away.

K:7500

"I now play mist structure! This prevents all "mist" monsters from being destroyed in battle. No boost for ya huh?" Tyson taunted. "I now play mist-together! This allows me to add "Mist" monsters Attack point to one specific mist monster. Only that mist monster can attack for the turn though.

"Oh crap. That could be a problem." Kevin and Jaxis thought.

"lastly I add mist ring! All "mist" monsters gain 1000 Attack points when they attack!"

"Really bad problem!" Kevin thought as he began to sweat.

"Now LETS GO WHICH HUNTING!" Tyson yelled
