Hey guys! Back with another chapter of my 5D's story and today this will be a special one. You'll find out since I'm gonna change things up a bit. Hope you guys enjoy.
Chapter 2:
Yusuke's POV:
The opening ceremony for the Fortune Cup has begun. As usual, the way the tournament starts off, Jack Atlas rides his Wheel of Fortune and summon Red Dragon Archfiend. Jack rides off the road and onto the stage saying his usual catchphrase. "There's only one King! That's me!"
After that, the contestants come up from the ground to be introduced to the crowd. As the images show the contestants, they stop at Yusei and there was silence. It was so silent in the crowd until a big guy snatched the microphone from the MC. He introduced himself as Greiger and he makes a speech that everyone in the tournament is a duelist regardless of status.
After the speech, Rex Goodwin stood up and made his speech to the crowd and then sat back down.
"Now then, folks! It's time for the Fortune Cup to begin! But before we start, we will have for the first time ever an exhibition match of one contestant here against the King himself, Jack Atlas!" The crowd cheered loudly and the contestants including me were shocked that this never happened before. The screen board starts to randomize the contestant who goes against the King. It stops and what shocked me was that it was...me!?
"And it's decided! The duelist that is going to duel the King will be Yusuke Homura!" The crowd cheered as they got excited that the King was going to duel. Jack glared at me as I glared at him as well. "You better not disappoint me because it will only be Yusei that will have the right to challenge me."
"Oh I beg to differ. I'll show you what I'm made of. Let's do this King!" I challenged.
After a few preparations with my Duel Runner, I was ready to go. I started up my engines and got ready. "Now then! It's time for our contestant, Yusuke Homura to enter the stage!" I revved up my engines and drove out of the hall. I landed and got in position behind Jack.
"Now! Are you ready, folks!? It's time to duel!" Me and Jack got ready as the time count started.
3. 2. 1...GO! "Riding Duel, Acceleration!"
"DUEL!"
Turn 1
Yusuke: 4000
Hand: 5
Jack: 4000
Hand: 5
"The first move goes to the challenger!" The MC said.
"My turn, draw!"
"Here goes! Since there are no monsters on my field, I can special summon Speedroid Terrortop from my hand!"
Speedroid Terrortop: Lv. 3 WIND Machine ATK: 1200/ DEF: 600
"When this card is normal or special summoned, I can add a Speedroid monster from my deck to my hand. I add Speedroid Taketonborg to my hand!"
"And since I control a Wind monster, I can special summon Taketonborg from my hand!"
Speedroid Taketonborg: Lv. 3 WIND Machine ATK: 600/ DEF: 1200
"I activate it's effect! By tributing it, I can special summon a Speedroid tuner from my deck! I special summon the tuner monster Speedroid Three-Eyed Dice in ATK mode!"
Three-Eyed Dice: Lv. 3 WIND Machine/Tuner ATK: 300/ DEF: 1500
"Oh! It seems that Yusuke has already prepared himself for a Synchro Summon!" The MC said.
"You bet! I now tune my lv 3 Three-Eyed Dice with my lv 3 Terrortop!" As my Three-Eyed Dice turned into 3 green rings, Terrortop followed going through the rings. "Cursed blade in the form of a cross, use all of your power to rend all of our enemies! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 6! Hi-Speedroid Kendama!"
Hi-Speedroid Kendama: Lv. 6 WIND Machine/Synchro ATK: 2200/ DEF: 1600
"And now I activate it's effect! Once per turn, I can banish one Speedroid monster in my graveyard and then deal 500 points of damage! I banish Terrortop from my grave!" As Terrortop was banished, Kendama shot an energy blast at Jack.
"Grgh!"
Jack: 4000-3500
"Oh boy! Yusuke has just got first blood despite that it was only his first turn!" The crowd started booing at me but I ignored them.
"I set one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 2
Yusuke: 4000
Hand: 4
Jack: 3500
Hand: 5
"Now! What will our King do in this situation?" MC announced.
"Hmph! If you think that you can beat the King then you're making a fool of yourself. Behold, this is how the King duels! My turn!" Jack draws.
Yusuke SPC: 0-1
Jack SPC: 0-1
"When there's a monster on my opponent's field while I control none, I can special summon Vice Dragon from my hand!"
Vice Dragon: Lv. 5 DARK Dragon ATK: 2000/ DEF: 2400
"However, when this effect is used it's abilities are cut in half." Jack said.
Vice Dragon ATK: 2000-1000/ DEF: 2400-1200
"Next I summon the tuner monster Dark Resonator!"
Dark Resonator: Lv. 3 DARK Fiend/Tuner ATK: 1300/ DEF: 300
"I now tune my lv 5 Vice Dragon with my lv 3 Dark Resonator!" Dark Resonator clinked it's chimes as it turned into 3 green rings, Vice Dragon followed going through the rings. "The ruler's heartbeat, will now file through here! Take witness to it's creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon! My very soul, Red Dragon Archfiend!"
Red Dragon Archfiend: Lv. 8 DARK Dragon/Synchro ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2000
"Oh! And just like that, the King brings out his ace Red Dragon Archfiend in one turn!" The crowd cheered for Red Dragon Archfiend and Jack. Jack turns his Wheel of Fortune backwards(which I don't know if that's possible) to face me. "Yusuke, anything that you do before the King is useless! This is the King's power! Battle! Red Dragon Archfiend attack Kendama! Absolute Powerforce!" The red dragon raised it's right arm and went for Kendama.
"From my graveyard, I activate Three-Eyed Dice's special ability!" I took the card out of my graveyard and showed it to him. "By removing this card from my graveyard, your attack is negated." I explained as my Dice appeared and took the hit.
"Hmph! Nice trick but that won't do you any good to me! I set two cards facedown and end my turn."
Turn 3
Yusuke: 4000
Hand: 4
Jack: 3500
Hand: 2
'Hmm. Red Dragon Archfiend has 3000 ATK points. My current monster won't help in this situation but I've got something that will take that thing out.' I thought as I prepared to draw. "My turn, draw!"
Yusuke SPC: 1-2
Jack SPC: 1-2
I looked at the card I drew and smirked. 'Got it.' "Let's do this! I play the Speed Spell Silver Contrails! By paying 1 speed counter, I can increase Kendama's ATK by 1000 until the end of this turn!"
Yusuke SPC: 2-1
Kendama ATK: 2200-3200
"Battle! Go! Kendama attack Red Dragon Archfiend!" Kendama dashed ahead and about to stab the red dragon.
"You're naive! I play the trap Half or Nothing! This trap activates during the Battle Phase. My opponent must choose to either end the battle or battle with half your monster's ATK. Now choose!" I gritted my teeth as I knew my monster is not powerful enough to beat Red Dragon Archfiend with half it's ATK. "I'll end the battle." I decided as Kendama stops and comes to my side. "My speed spell was wasted. I set two cards facedown and end my turn."
Kendama ATK: 3200-2200
Turn 4
Yusuke: 4000
Hand: 3
Jack: 3500
Hand: 2
"Hmph! How disappointing. You have no other choice but to bow down to the King! My turn, draw!"
Yusuke SPC: 1-2
Jack SPC: 2-3
"Battle! Red Dragon Archfiend attack Kendama! Absolute Powerforce!" The red dragon lifted it's flaming arm and about to hit Kendama. "I play the trap Speed Shield! This trap negates Kendama's destruction and then halves the damage!" Kendama was hit as I resisted the force. "Nrgh!"
Yusuke: 4000-3600
"Hmph! So you had that prepared? I set one card facedown and end my turn."
Turn 5
Yusuke: 3600
Hand: 3
Jack: 3500
Hand: 2
"My turn, draw!"
Yusuke SPC: 2-3
Jack SPC: 3-4
"I summon the tuner monster Red-Eyed Dice!"
Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice: Lv. 1 WIND Machine/Tuner ATK: 100/ DEF: 100
"It's time to bring out the big guns! I now tune from my graveyard my lv 6 Kendama with my lv 1 Red-Eyed Dice!" Red-Eyed Dice turned into 1 green ring, Kendama followed going through the rings. "Spread your beautiful and brave wings, and shoot through your enemies at the speed of light! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: Lv. 7 WIND Dragon/Synchro ATK: 2500/ DEF: 2000
"Grgh! What the?" I felt the same sting on my arm but was much stronger than before. "In all of my years of commentating, I've never seen a beautiful dragon like this before!" Clear Wing roared to the red dragon as it roared back in response.
"Oh? That's an interesting dragon there. But it still does not match the power of the King! You might as well just give up." Jack said.
"Give up? Heh! Don't be ridiculous! I'm fighting for the truth to my past! So that's why I'll prove it to you now! I play the trap Light Speed Assault! This trap only works while I have a Lv 5 or higher Synchro monster on my field! It lowers my opponent's monster's ATK by Clear Wing's ATK until the end of this turn!" The trap sent a blast of energy at the red dragon lowering it's ATK to 500.
Red Dragon Archfiend ATK: 3000-500
"What!? Red Dragon Archfiend's ATK..."
"Finally! I play my other trap card Synchro Destructor! When my Synchro monster destroys your monster, you'll take damage equal to it's ATK!" Jack gasped.
"It's over! Battle! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon attack Red Dragon Archfiend!" Clear Wing flew up high and stopped mid air. It flew as air picked up circling around and dashing toward Red Dragon Archfiend. "Helldive Slasher of the Whirlwind!"
"If this attack goes through along with the effect of Synchro Destructor, then our King loses!" The crowd was gasping in suspense.
"Oh no you don't! I play the trap Interdimensional Matter Transporter! With this trap, I banish Red Dragon Archfiend from the game until the end of this turn!" A portal opened as the red dragon entered and avoided the attack.
"What!?" Instead, Clear Wing's attack hit Jack reducing his LP.
Jack: 3500-1000
"Oh dear! Since Jack Atlas took a direct attack of 2500 points, he loses 2 speed counters!" The MC said.
Jack SPC: 4-2
"Dammit!" I looked at the cards in my hand but it was hopeless since I had nothing left to do with my 2 cards. "I-I end my turn." I said weakly as Red Dragon Archfiend returned to the field roaring once more.
Red Dragon Archfiend: Lv. 8 DARK Dragon/Synchro ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2000
Turn 6
Yusuke: 3600
Hand: 2
Jack: 1000
Hand: 2
Song Play: Jack's Theme
"Hmph! As I thought, you wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight against me. My turn, draw!"
Yusuke SPC: 3-4
Jack SPC: 2-3
"I activate the Speed Spell Overboost!" Jack's Duel Runner's engines skyrocketed as he went faster. "For this turn, my speed counters will rise by 4 but will go down to 1 until the end of this turn."
Jack SPC: 3-7
"Next is the Speed Spell Sonic Buster! When I have 4 or more Speed Counters, you now take half of Red Dragon Archfiend's ATK! Go, Red Dragon Archfiend! Crimson Hell Burning!" The red dragon formed fire in it's mouth and blasted me. "GAAAHHH!"
Yusuke: 3600-2100
"Additionally I play the Speed Spell Half Seize! When I have 3 or more speed counters, your Clear Wing's ATK is cut in half this turn!" Clear Wing roared in pain.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon ATK: 2500-1250
"Finally! I play the continuous trap Spell of the Ruler! This card equips onto my dragon and increases it's ATK by 700!" Red Dragon Archfiend roared as it gained a red aura.
Red Dragon Archfiend ATK: 3000-3700
"This duel is over! Witness the power of the King! Red Dragon Archfiend attack Clear Wing Synchro Dragon! Absolute Powerforce!" The red dragon lifted it's flaming arm and destroyed Clear Wing. "GAAAAHHHH!" The force was so great that I was thrown off my Duel Runner and hit the road.
Yusuke: 0
Jack: 1000(Winner)
Song End
"The exhibition duel is over! And expected our winner is the King himself, Jack Atlas!" The MC shouted in the microphone as the crowd cheered loudly.
Jack stopped in front of me. "If this is all you can manage, then you have no right to be here! But if you can make it up, I'll let you challenge me again." Jack drove away back to his "throne".
I started to lose consciousness as I black out but not before seeing four people run up to me.
No One's POV:
"And now that the exhibition match is done, it's time for the tournament to begin! First up..." The screen randomized as the results were shown. "And it's decided! The first match will be between Greiger and Luna! Now fasten your seatbelts everyone because it's time to duel!" The MC said.
And that's that! Sorry people that were expecting Yusuke to win but it's Jack Atlas so there was no way he could win with his current power alone but he will get stronger as the tournament goes so stay tuned! And additionally, thank you Konami for 20 years of Yu-Gi-Oh! And if anyone is excited about the Dark Side of Dimensions movie, then so am I! See ya folks because the fun has only just begun!
