Inside one cell a man in a yellow uniform was doing push up in his cells, his sleeves were torn, his hair braided, and he was certainly well toned
"999…1000" The man said jumping up, "I'm gonna show them my skills or my name isn't Tyranno Hassleberry" He said in a southern accent
But then he disappeared and reappeared in the white dimension
"Of course" He said looking at his opponent, this one was also in uniform but unlike Hassleberry's American styled uniform, this one was wearing a Russian Styled Blue uniform
"So you are my opponent, my name is Rommel Nein, dueling commander" The Russian said holding his crimson red duel disk
"Yeah well I'm Tyranno Hassleberry, dueling commando" Hassleberry said proudly but then they saw a third person appear, this one was African American and his eyes were closed, his duel disk was in fact gun shaped and he activated it
"My name is Axel Brodie, Dueling Mercenary" He said
"All three of you are powerful military based duelists, I think it will be entertaining to see which one of you three are the most powerful" Onox said in his seat
"So a three way free for all" Axel said looking at his opponents
"I recognize both of them, the Russian is Rommel Nein, main tactics, swarm the field with Galbanian monsters, while the other looks like an older version of Tyranno Hassleberry, must be at least 20, he must be at his prime at that point in life" Axel though looking at his opponents
"Quickest 5 card draw decides the order" Onox called out
"Duel!" the three cried out and they drew their cards
Axel was the fastest followed by Rommel ending with Hassleberry
"Guess I get the first strike" Axel said drawing his card
"I lay three cards facedown and then I summon Volcanic Slicer in attack mode" He said summoning the large fire lizard to the field (1800/1200)
"And with his power I can inflict 500 points of damage rather than letting him attack" Axel explained and he pointed at Rommel
"Fire!" He ordered and the Slicer sent a blast of fire at him
Rommel: 3500
"That ends my turn" He said and Rommel drew his card
"I summon Galbanion Mechanic in defense mode" He said summoning a solider in a dark blue uniform, he held a huge wrench over his shoulder and he had goggles on his forehead (1000/1800)
"I end my turn" He said
"No traps to defend his beast, is he bonkers?" Hassleberry thought drawing his card and he let out a "Yee-Haw"
"I summon Sabersaurus in attack mode" He said summoning the large dinosaur to the field (1900/500)
"Next I play the spell Jurassic Charge" He said laying down a card that looked like a group of different dinosaur monsters charging at a village of huts
"With this spell I can spell summon any dinosaurs in my hand to the field, course it costs me 1500 lifepoints for each dinosaur I summon this way, but I think it's worth it to do this, I summon Black Tyranno, and Ultimate Tyranno" He said summoning a Black T-Rex (2600/1800 L 7) and an even larger T-Rex next to it (3000/2200 L 8)
Hassleberry: 1000
Rommel: 3500
Axel: 4000
"Well this is going to get painful really fast" Axel said
"Don't think so Axel, I'm aiming for Rommel" Hassleberry said pointing at the Russian Duelist
"Ultimate Tyranno charge!" He ordered and the large T-Rex charged at the solider but then a trap card appeared in front of the Mechanic
"Sam Hill, how can you play a trap, you had nothing face down?" Hassleberry cried out and Rommel lost 500 lifepoints
Rommel: 3000
"Seems you didn't have any Intel on my monster, if my Mechanic is attacked, I can play a trap right from my hand at the funds of 500, and you foolishly sent your greatest weapon fall into enemy hands" Rommel said and the trap looked like an Axe Raider but this Axe Raider was holding a Bazooka, "The trap is known as the Stolen Weapon" He explained and then he discarded three cards
"By discarding three cards I can now take the monster you attacked me with, and then equip it to a Galbanian Monster" He explained and the Ultimate Tyranno changed into Dino Scaled Armor and was equipped to the Mechanic (1000/1800 to 4000/4000)
"The boost is equal to the attack and defense of the taken monster" Rommel explained
"Clever bastard, he not only he stopped Hassleberry's attack he also took he best monster" Axel thought, his arms crossed
"Grrr, I end my turn with one card facedown" Hassleberry said
"And now it's my turn" Axel said drawing his next card, "Now Volcanic Slicer use your effect on Hassleberry" He ordered and the Fire Monster sent a wave of fire at Hassleberry
Hassleberry growled, he was down to 500 lifepoints, but he expected this move
Hassleberry: 500
"I reveal my trap Wounded Counterstrike!" He said, the spell looked like a Bandaged Elemental Hero Flame Wingman striking a Blue Eyes White Dragon
"If I take damage to my lifepoints while I have less than 1400 lifepoints I can send my strongest monster to attack one of your monsters" Hassleberry said and Black Tyranno snarled at Axel
"Charge!" He ordered and the Black Tyranno charged at Volcanic Slicer
Axel shook his head and flipped a trap; it looked like a Hinotama Soul being launched at a Castle
"This is Cannon Fire summon, and now by sending a fire monster on my field to the grave I can summon from my deck a Volcanic monster to replace it, however if I attack with it at any time, I lose 700 lifepoints" Axel explained and his Slicer disappeared before Black Tyranno could take a bite out of it
"Now then I think I know who to bring out, monster no one has ever seen" He said summoning what looked like a Large Phoenix that let out a Shriek
"Volcanic Phoenix Vulcan!" He said in a calm tone (3500/500 L 10)
"No…."Hassleberry couldn't believe how Axel avoided his attack and summon a powerful monster
"Don't think I'm through, perhaps I should explain what Vulcan can do, if he is sent to the graveyard thanks to an effect, all players take 1000 points of damage and at the start of my next turn, he returns to the field ready to fight back" He explained flipping a new trap it looked like a large inferno with a pair of glowing demon eyes in the flames, "I activate the Fire Demon's Assault, with this trap I can destroy any fire monster on the field and then destroy a monster on my opponent's side of the field" He said and the Phoenix let out a cry and became a ball of fire
"Destroy Galbanian Mechanic!" He ordered and the Phoenix ball slammed into the soldier destroying it
"And don't forget about Vulcan's effect, we all take 1000 points of damage" He said and with those words the field was engulfed in fire
Axel: 3000
Rommel: 2500
Hassleberry: 0
"You got to be kidding me…." Hassleberry groaned and he went to his knees, all his cards disappeared and Onox just stared, watching
"Now I summon Volcanic Rat in defense mode" He said summoning the small pyro rat to the field (500/500)
"That ends my turn" He said and it went to Rommel
"Now then, it would seem you have more skills then Hassleberry, a good soldier should have spirit, but no tactics outside of charge will not get him far" Rommel said looking at his next card
"I summon Galbanian Spy in attack mode" He said summoning a Blue Trench coat and black fedora wearing man to the field, his face was concealed by shadows (700/1200 L 3)
"Now then by discarding a card from my hand I can reveal a trap on the field and then if I pay 500 lifepoints I can make it so you can't activate this turn" Rommel explained as he discarded a card but then a grenade appear in front of Axel blowing up in his face
Axel: 2500
Rommel: 2500
"What happened?" He called out and Rommel smirked
"I discarded my stray grenade trap, if its destroyed or discarded it inflicts 500 points of damage to you, now let's see what your facedown is" Rommel said Axel's last trap revealed itself, it looked like a large fireball bursting into a man's face
"Ah Fire Inferno, if I destroy a pyro monster in battle you can destroy the monster that destroyed it and then inflict damage to me equal to both monster's attack…well guess I'll use my Spy's ability to prevent you from using it" He said paying 500 lifepoints
Rommel: 2000
"Attack his Volcanic rat, stealthy blade strike" Rommel called out and the Spy disappeared but then reappeared behind the rat stabbing it in the back, it cried out in pain and disappeared
"I end my turn with two facedown cards" He said but then flames grew around them and the Phoenix reappeared in front of Axel (3500/500)
"Remember my Volcanic Phoenix Vulcan returns to the field thanks to his effect" Axel said but Rommel already flipped his trap
"I activate my change of battle plan trap" Rommel said playing a trap of an angry Marauding Caption tearing up a sheet of paper, "With this trap if you special summon a monster I can return a Galbanian monster back to my hand and then summon a new one to take his place, so now I deploy Galbanian Warlord in attack mode" He said summoning a Dictator like monster to the field wielding a Luger P08 at his side, he glared at the Phoenix and cracked his neck (2700/ 1200)
Axel just looked at the new monster
"Why would he summon a new monster to the field, yes that one his stronger but it isn't enough to take on Vulcan" He thought looking down at his trap, "And even if he was able to increase his monster's attack I can activate my own trap and end this in a draw….but he already knows that and knowing our host" He turned to Onox and then back to the field, "He won't like it ending without a true winner….I'm sure Rommel knows this as well, so that means his trap must be one to destroy Vulcan and clear the field letting him get a direct attack in" He thought letting out a small stoic smile, "And now I got him"
"I play inferno blaze" He said playing a card that looked like a village burning up with people running in fear from it
"With this special card I destroy one spell or trap on both sides of our fields then you take 500 points of damage" He explained and a large blaze destroyed his only trap and Rommel's as well
Axel: 2500
Rommel: 1500
"Now attack Vulcan, Inferno Rage!" He called out the large fire bird let out a shriek and flew at the Commander
"You played a good game Rommel, but in the end I won" He said just as the Phoenix flew at Rommel, but then Rommel smiled and laughed causing Axel to cry out, "What's so funny, I just wiped out your last card and you are about to lose!"
"It's because you fell into a trap" Onox said and Axel looked at Rommel's field which now shown a new trap, the image was a Dark Ruler Ha Des looking in a large wooden crate of guns
"He is right, you made the mistake to destroy my facedown Lost Supplies trap, you see if it was destroyed by a card effect I can remove it from my graveyard to boost a monster's power on my side of the field by 1000 until the end of the turn" Rommel said (2700 to 3700)
The Commander drew his pistol and fired at Vulcan, one shot hitting the wing, the other one right in the head; the bird fell straight down and disappeared
Axel: 2300
Rommel: 1500
"I lay-"Axel was about to say but then the Commander got behind him and he heard the gun get set
"No you won't, when my commander destroys a monster in battle, you take damage equal to that monster's attack, this war is over" Rommel said as his commander fired taking out the rest of Axel's lifepoints
"The winner of this duel is Rommel Nein, the Dueling Commander" Onox declared doing a polite clap, but then snapped his fingers and the platform Tyranno was on activated and he was turned into a Card, Axel was spared
"The loser is Tyranno Hassleberry, a pity for I thought he would be more entertaining" He said sending the two other duelists back to their cells, what would be the next duel, who knows, but it wouldn't be too long before more challenge him for the right of freedom….
