Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Prodigy of a Duelist
Chapter 2: Power of Blake Winston; One Turn Kill enabled
T.R. – 4000; 5
Daisuke – 4000; 5
"I will take the first move." Daisuke said happily drawing his card. He looked at it and nodded. "Now I will summon a monster in face-down defense position. Then I'll play the card, Gravekeepers Servant. So when one of us attacks, we must discard a card from the top of our decks to the Graveyard. And with that, I'll end my turn."
"Not bad, but I'll do better! First, I'll use one of my monsters special abilities and Special Summon Gilasaurus! By doing this, you can Special Summon a monster from your Graveyard. But you don't have one." He said confidently.
Gilasaurus, level 3//Earth, Dinosaur, Effect//ATK1400, DEF400
"Go T.R.!" The crowd cheered as he started making his move.
"Now, I'll sacrifice my monster to summon, Dark Driceratops!"
Dark Driceratops, level 6//Earth, Dinosaur, Effect//ATK2400, DEF1500
"Now Dark Driceratops, attack his face-down monster!" The Dark Driceratops did just that. He also discarded Brain Control to the Graveyard from the top of his deck.
"By attacking my monster, you allow me to activate his effect which allows me to draw 1 card."
Dark Mimic Lv1, level 1//Dark, Fiend, Effect//ATK100, DEF 1000
"And I'll end my turn." T.R. said cockily. "Oh, by the way, you lose the difference in my attack monsters attack and your defending monsters defense when engaged in battle." He said as he laughed.
T.R. – 4000; 4
Daisuke – 2600; 5
"Now it's my turn! He drew a card and looked. Then he smiled. First, I'll play Graceful Charity." He said as he drew three cards, looked at them, and then discarded two to the Graveyard. "Then I'll play the card, Aetonix Flame. What this card does is allow me to destroy one non Fiend or Fire monster and Special Summon 1 Fiend or Fire type monster from my Graveyard. I'll destroy your Dark Driceratops and special summon, my Archfiend Soldier."
Archfiend Soldier, level 4//Dark, Fiend//ATK1900, DEF1500
"Now, Archfiend Soldier, attack his Life Points directly!" He commanded as the soldier attack T.R. without hesitation. Now I'll play two face-downs and end my turn.
T.R. – 2100; 4
Daisuke – 2600; 4
"Now you've made me angry! Get ready to fall to my Dino's!" He exclaimed as he drew a card. "First, I'll play Lightning Vortex, and discard one card to destroy your soldier. Then I'll play Monster reborn to Summon the monster I just discarded! And that card is Frostosaurus!"
Frostosaurus, level 6//Water, Dinosaur//ATK2600, DEF1700
"He has just enough attack points to finish this Duel. Now, my Dino, attack his Life Points directly and end this Duel!"
"Not so fast, I activate a Trap Card!" Daisuke said interrupting him. "Go Spirit Shield! As long as I can send a monster from my Graveyard out of play, I can negate your attacks and end your Battle Phase!"
"You're only stalling for time. I'll end my Battle Phase and play Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your Spirit Shield. I'll throw down a face-down and end my turn."
T.R. – 2100; 2
Daisuke – 2600; 4
"First I draw! Now, I'll summon Newdoria, in attack mode. Then I'll end my turn."
Newdoria, level 4//Dark, Fiend, Effect//ATK1200, DEF800
T.R. – 2100; 4
Daisuke – 2600; 4
"That move was pathetic. You think I would fall for something like that? I already know his special ability! So I'll summon, Black Veloci in attack mode!"
Black Veloci, level 4//Earth, Dinosaur, Effect//ATK1800, DEF300
"Now say goodbye to your monster, attack Frostosaurus." Frostosaurus destroyed Newdoria with ease.
"And thanks to my Newdoria's effect, I'll destroy your Frostosaurus."
"And now Black Veloci, attack his Life Po-" He was interrupted.
"Not so fast! I'll discard Kuriboh from my hand to stop Battle Damage from your Dinosaur. So I'm safe for another turn." He said confidently.
"I'll go ahead and end my turn." T.R. said angrily.
T.R. – 2100; 4
Daisuke – 1400; 3
"Now I draw!" He said and then had a menacing smile on his face. "This Duel is over. First, I'll summon Zure, Knight of Dark World."
Zure, Knight of Dark World, level 4//Dark, Fiend//ATK1800, DEF1500
"How is that going to end this Duel?" T.R. asked impatiently.
"This is how. Then, I'll send my Kuriboh, Newdoria, and Archfiend Soldier out of play to summon my favorite monster, Dark Necrofear."
Dark Necrofear, level 8//Dark, Fiend, Effect//ATK2200, DEF2800
"Now, Zure, attack his Black Veloci! And thanks to its effect, it loses 400 attack points during the damage step, giving it 1400 attack points!" The raptor was defeated by the knight easily. "Now, Dark Necrofear, attack his Life Points directly and end this Duel!" He said as Dark Necrofear attacked him directly.
T.R. – 0
Daisuke – 1400
Winner Daisuke
The crowd surrounding them sat in there seats in disbelief. It was a great Duel, but the newbie had won against a strong Duelist. Among the people in the crowd was none other than the Headmaster of the school who had simply smiled as she stood up and walked away, the crowd cheering him on even without her presence.
"It looks like I won, T.R." Daisuke said smiling. "That was a great Duel."
"Yeah, right. You just had a lucky break kid. Next time we face, I'll destroy you!" He said as he walked out with his head down.
Even though he didn't get promoted, he was still happier now. Maybe it was because he dueled someone so strong… but either way, his excitement had risen and he was ready for a good school year. He wanted more Duels, and more Duels he would get.

The next day, Daisuke was receiving cheers and congratulations from almost everyone in the school. It was a great match, but it wasn't going to be known for very long. Blake had received and accepted a challenge from one of the schools few third years. This was his time to show why he was the only first year to become an Obelisk Blue. Blake had made sure that Billy and Daisuke had received invitations to come and watch up close. And the time for his Duel had arrived.
"Well Blake, I hope you're ready to face me." The third year said.
"I'm more than ready, Charles." Blake said confidently.
"Fine then. Let us begin!" Charles said, readying his Duel Disk.
"Duel!" Blake said as he drew six cards. "This won't last very long, I promise."
Blake – 4000; 5
Charles – 4000; 5
"I'll go first. First, I'll summon one monster in face-down defense position. Then I'll play a face-down and end my turn."
"My turn." He said as he drew his final card and smiled. "First, I'll play Graceful Charity." He said as he drew three cards and discarded two. "Now, I'll play card destruction." He said as he discarded the 5 cards from his hand and drew 5 more. "Then I'll play another, Graceful Charity." He said drawing three cards and discarding two again. "I'll play two face-downs and summon a card face-down and end my turn."
Blake – 4000; 2
Charles – 4000; 4
"What kind of move was that?" Charles asked.
"The move that is going to win me this Duel." Blake said.
"I didn't see you put anything with Graveyard effects in your Graveyard. How can you hope to defeat me?"
"Just make your move."
Charles drew his card. "Now' I'll sacrifice my face-down monster to summon, Big Tusked Mammoth!"
Big Tusked Mammoth, level 5//Earth, Beast, Effect//ATK2000, DEF1000
"Now my Mammoth, attack his face-down!" He said as the mammoth attacked the face-down Magician of Faith.
"And that activates her effect. I can bring back Graceful Charity from my Graveyard." Blake said.
"And then I'll play Wave-Motion Cannon. The strongest card in my deck! What this baby does is build up power each of my Standby Phases, 1000 points of power that is. And then I can release all the damage it built up and send it to you." He said smiling. "This Duel is over in four turns. I'll end my turn."
Blake – 4000; 2
Charles – 4000; 3
"First I draw. Then I'll activate Graceful Charity and draw 3 cards, and discard two. Now I'll play the card, Soul Release. What this does is remove all 5 cards you have in the Graveyard, and send them from play. Then I'll Summon Warrior Lady of the Wasteland in defense position. Now I'll search my deck and play another Warrior Lady of the Wasteland in defense position as well. Now I end my turn."
Blake 4000; 1
Charles – 4000; 3
"First I draw. Now my Wave-Motion Cannon gains 1000 damage to it. Then I summon, Beta the Magnet Warrior!"
Beta the Magnet Warrior, level 4//Earth, Rock//ATK1700, DEF1600
"Stop right there!" Blake blurted out. "I'll activate my Trap Card, Exchange of the Spirit! What this does is switch our decks with our Graveyards! All I have to do is pay 1000 Life Points and the deed is done! Now you have no cards for a deck and my deck consists of 15."
"What!? Yo.. you! How did you do that!? I won't be defeated! Now destroy both of his monsters!" The two monsters attack, leaving his field wide open. "Now I end my turn."
Blake – 3000; 1
Charles – 4000; 3
"I'll draw my card and end my turn. You've lost the Duel." Blake said without any falter.
Blake – 3000; 2
Charles – 4000; 3
Winner Blake
Everyone sat in amazement. Especially Daisuke, he hadn't realized it, but he challenged that deck and would have easily lost that Duel. Blake was a force to be reckoned with. Someone stepped on the stage; he was wearing a white coat with blue lining on it. It was the schools number 1 Duelist, he was the only Native American at the school, and he was only in his second year. His name, Antinanco Cheveyo.
"You have won your match against a third year. I recognize you as a strong competitor, but you will never beat me. I have the greatest Exodia deck in the world." Antinano said with pride.
"I guess we'll have to see about that. It looks like you look at me as the number two." Blake said happily.
"No. You are not number two. I say you in fourth place."
"Fourth?"
"Yes, you in fourth. Figure out who your superior are." He said, leaving the room as everyone as did besides Billy and Daisuke.
"That was a great Duel big bro!" Billy said.
"Not too bad, I guess." Daisuke followed up with.
"Thank you, but it looks like I'm still not going to be recognized here yet. Well, classes start tomorrow, so I'm going to go get some rest. Catch you both later." He said leaving as well and heading to his dorms.

"Are you all prepared for your lessons?" Atsuko said to the three professors in her office.
"Yes." Replied Professor Chang-Ying.
"I'll always be ready Atsuko, you know this." Replied in a dreamy voice, Professor Kazuhiko.
The other man fixed his glasses and smiled. "Yes ma'am. I'll always obey."
"You don't have to answer like that Junichi." Atsuko said laughing.
"Of course, my apologies." He responded.
"Now be ready by tomorrow, classes begin. Dismiss."
"Why so formal. We got it." Professor Chang-Ying replied. She seemed to be in a bad mood.
The three professors walked out, and Atsuko pulled out a bunch of cards and continued building a deck based around her three Blue Eyes White Dragons. This deck had to be perfect. And it would be.
