Chapter 5 - Attack on Titan
AN – Preamble – I do not own Yugioh , Yugioh Arc V, Yugioh GX, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, or any of it save for any OC's I might add in the fanfic.
Days pass after the test, apparently I was right, Jaden decided to stay Red, loyalty of a Badger that one. Can't fault loyalty , but I'd personally take the better food and accommodations and visit the Reds whilst still remaining friends with them, not remaining in the Rat infested dorm
Classes are dull as ever, easy and with very little effort to maintain perfect marks. I suppose having a photo-retentive memory would be considered cheating by some, but I consider it using the tools available to get the best outcome. Banner's class is awful as ever, pointless history and that demon cat that keeps trying to attack me. Gym class is boring, but active at least, with Fontaine being evil and making me run more laps than everybody else.
A few days after, late at night, whilst I was lounging on my boat and watching TV, waiting for my scanners to update. I hear a scream, from out in the woods. A girlish scream... Sounded like Alexis. I yell out "COMPUTER MAP LOCATION, DIRECTION OF SCREAM" and in the computerized voice it replies "Came from the direction of the abandoned dorm Sir". I nod , grab my duel-disk, mask , goggles , I hadn't got changed from regular class wear, put my cape on and head to my D-wheel. I grab my helmet, set the computer on my D-wheel and ride off, Shouting "Lockdown, Security Mode – Admit access only to my D-Wheel and anyone aboard - Keyword Onomatophobia". Lockdown engages just as I hit the ramp of my boat.
I tear through the forest at speed, not caring if I'm seen at this point, Alexis' safety is the priority. Quickly reaching the abandoned dorm, I spot a flower, a single Rose outside of the gate. Alexis leaving flowers for her brother. That's why she was here. Meaning she was kidnapped.
I enter the gate, I spot someone ahead of me, Slifers. Likely Jaden's group. Either they're exploring to find Alexis, or they're just being idiots. The former is commendable, the latter, well, they deserve to be expelled.
Entering the main building, following the large boot-like tracks, seemingly weighted from carrying another person, I follow the tracks down a corridor.
I hear the idiotic Slifers searching for the abandoned dorm's abandoned kitchen, if they were at least looking for Alexis, I would understand, but as they are just here for fun... Are they IDIOTS, people have lost everything in this place, I'm exploring it for a reason, to find a clue to our lost loved ones, they're just kids being morons. I decide against going and yelling at them, I might end up killing them in my current state. I spot a door at the end of the hall I was walking down
Entering the room, a Tall man, wearing a face-mask but his mouth clearly visible, a dark hat, a dark trench coat, boots. Wait, He fits the description of the heavily wanted criminal, the shadow duelist. Titan. How did he get on the island without the KaibaCorp security noticing. Has academy life made the disciplinary action squad that pathetic.
He could be the one who... Not even finishing my own thought before rage takes over, eyes glowing, hair standing up, radiating with power.
"Shadow duelist, ARE YOU THE ONE WHO TOOK HER, ARE YOU THE ONE WHO TOOK FATE? I WILL DESTROY YOU" Completely out of control at this point, Dark Rebellion and Odd-eyes glowing in my deck, fully lost to the power of Berserk Mode.
"So what if I Am, I took that girl Alexis, you weren't the prey I was hoping to catch, but I'll just send you to the shadows first, and then I'll go after Jaden" Titan exclaims, idiotically. He will take me to those he has taken, or he will die.
"If you expect to survive this duel, you will tell me where you took the captives. NOW" I demand, furiously, this fool will suffer.
"You think you're a match for me, I am the mighty shadow duelist Titan, I will claim your soul just as I did all of the others, just as I did Alexis" A wave of darkness extends from the pendant around his neck. An optical illusion. How foolish.
"Shadow duel huh? " I activate the special function of my duel disk. "ACTION FIELD ON, SWORD GRAVEYARD!"
"What is this, an illusion? " Titan Exclaims, his voice cracking " A Shadow game involves the battle damage being real. I'm giving you what you asked for. We will feel the pain of this duel, and you will suffer for every person you've hurt." I yell, violently. Titan will burn.
Titan's mask shows a hint of nervousness in his eyes, he's clearly thinking 'there's no way he could do that'
Duel Start – Kamito 4000 LP - Titan 4000 LP
Titan tosses the coin, and I Call "HEADS" the coin lands on tails, damn. Titan says "Its tails, I'll take the first move " Fool. You've SEALED YOUR OWN FATE. I WILL DESTROY YOU.
Turn 1 – Titan
"I draw"
"I activate the Field Magic Pandemonium"
Pandemonium – Field Magic - Neither player has to pay Life Points during the Standby Phase for "Archfiend" monsters. Each time a player's "Archfiend" monster(s) is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, except by battle, that player can add 1 "Archfiend" monster from their Deck to their hand that is a lower Level than the destroyed card.
"I summon Infernalqueen Archfiend in Attack mode"
Infernalqueen Archfiend - The controller of this card pays 500 Life Points during each of his/her Standby Phases (this is not optional). When this card is specifically designated as a target of the effect of a card controlled by your opponent, when resolving the effect, roll a six-sided die. If the result is 2 or 5, negate the effect and destroy the opponent's card. Increase the Attack of all Archfiend monsters by 1000.
"This raises her own attack by 1000 as well"
Infernalqueen Archfiend Attack 900 + 1000 = 1900
"I play Double Summon"
Double Summon – Normal Magic - You can conduct 2 Normal Summons/Sets this turn, not just 1.
"I summon Terrorking Archfiend in Attack mode with my Extra Normal Summon"
Terrorking Archfiend – Level 4 – Fiend/Dark/Effect - 2000 Atk/1500 Def
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Flip Summoned unless you have an Archfiend Monster Card on your side of the field. The controller of this card pays 800 Life Points during each of his/her Standby Phases (this is not optional). When this card is targeted by the effect of a card controlled by your opponent, when resolving the effect, roll a six-sided die. If the result is 2 or 5, negate the effect and destroy the opponent's card. The effects of an Effect Monster that this card destroyed as a result of battle are negated.
"Terrorking Archfiend also gains 1000 Attack from Infernalqueen's effect"
Terrorking Archfiend Attack 2000 + 1000 = 3000
"I set one card Facedown and end my turn" Titan smirking, thinking his facedown will mean anything against me. He will Suffer.
Turn 2 – Kamito
With my hand glowing the same purple as my hair and eyes, "I DRAW"
"As I have Drawn this card in a standard draw phase, I must keep it revealed until the start of my main phase 1" I intone emotionlessly
"Now my main phase 1 has begun , I activate RANK UP MAGIC, THE SEVENTH ONE" I yell, ferociously. Perfect card to draw, he will perish before its power.
Rank-Up-Magic The Seventh One - Normal Magic To activate this card, you must draw it for your normal draw in your Draw Phase, reveal it, and keep it revealed until the start of Main Phase 1. At the start of your Main Phase 1 that same turn, you can: Special Summon, from your Extra Deck or Graveyard, 1 monster that has a number between "Number 101" and "Number 107" in its name, except "Number C" monsters, then Xyz Summon, from your Extra Deck, 1 "Number C" monster with the same number in its name as the first monster, by using it as the Xyz Material.
"Rank up? What is this foolish nonsense" Titan exclaims, idiotically. He will see.
"With the effect of Rank-up-Magic The Seventh One , I Special summon from my Extra deck, NUMBER 107 , GALAXY EYES, TACHYON DRAGON"
Numbers 107 – Rank 8 Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon – Dragon/Light/Xyz/Effect
3000 Atk/2500 Def
2 Level 8 monsters
Once per Battle Phase, at the start of your Battle Phase: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the effects of all other face-up monsters currently on the field, also their ATK and DEF become their original ATK and DEF, and if you do any of these, during the Battle Phase this turn, each time an opponent's card effect resolves, this card gains 1000 ATK until the end of the Battle Phase, also, it can make a second attack during each Battle Phase this turn.
"Now, with Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, I REBUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK"
"Pierce through the raging torrent of galaxies, and revive from the time before they ever existed! The draconic star from beyond eternity! CHAOS XYZ CHANGE. Manifest before us, Rank 9! Chaos Numbers 107! Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon!" The power radiating off this card is enormous.
Chaos Numbers 107 – Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon Rank 9 Dragon/XYZ/Light/Effect
4500 Atk/3000 Def
3 Level 9 monsters
Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; negate the effects of all other face-up cards currently on the field until the End Phase. Also, negate the effects of all other cards activated this turn, and if you do, return them to the state they were at the start of this turn, until the End Phase. After you activate this effect, only you can choose which cards on the field can activate their effects, until the End Phase. If this card is Xyz Summoned by Ranking Up "Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon", it gains this effect.
● You can Tribute 2 monsters that did not declare an attack; this card can make 3 attacks during each Battle Phase this turn.
Titan looks physically terrified at this point. As he should. As I go to taunt him, Shadows engulf the field , perhaps the same shadows that took Fate. The aura surrounding Neo-Tachyon is protecting me, but Titan is possessed by the shadows.
"This duel is not over, foolish human, You will join all in the shadows. I activate the trap Nightmare wheel. This will stop your dragon from attacking, and each turn you will take damage".
Nightmare Wheel – Continuous Trap - Activate this card by targeting 1 monster your opponent controls; it cannot attack or change its battle position. When it leaves the field, destroy this card. During each of your Standby Phases: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent. That monster must be on the field to activate and to resolve this effect.
"Do not be a fool, Shadows. BRING ME FATE TESTAROSSA NOW" I exclaim darkly.
"It is true we have taken her, you will see her soon enough " The shadows say, forebodingly.
"I activate Neo-Tachyon's effect, by detaching 1 overlay unit, I negate all other face-up cards on the field, negate all cards activated on your side of the field this turn, reset all other activated cards, and only I can activate cards or effects on the field until the turn ends. TIME TYRANT"
Neo Tachyon's effect resets Shadow-Titans game-state, including setting his Nightmare wheel back face down, as well as negating his Archfiends effects, and his field effect.
Infernalqueen Archfiend Attack 1900 – 1000 = 900 Negated Effects
Terrorking Archfiend Attack 3000 – 1000 = 2000 - Negated Effects
I pick up the Action card by my feet "I activate the Action Magic – Extreme Sword " "This raises one monster I control's attack by 1000 until the end of turn"
Extreme Sword - Action Magic – Target 1 monster on the field; it gains 1000 ATK during the Battle Phase only.
Number C107 Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon Attack 4500 + 1000 = 5500
"BATTLE. Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, Attack Infernalqueen Archfiend. ANNIHILATE THIS FOOL. UJLTIMATE TACHYON SPIRAL OF DESTRUCTION!"
Infernalqueen Archfiend gets disintegrated, and Titan gets thrown back into one of the blades for Sword Graveyard, violently, That had to have hurt. Good. Hope he dies.
Titan LP 4000 - 4600 = -600
DUEL END – VICTOR – Kamito
Regular not Possessed Titan returns temporarily and yells "PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME" before being eaten by the shadows. Bet he didn't taste very good.
The Shadows disperse after a quick roar from Neo-Tachyon and I drop down to 1 knee, tiredness starting to set in, and Berserk mode having faded and clarity returning
I clutch my head in pain "Gotta find Alexis" I think for a second . Infusing Duel energy into the card " I SUMMON ENTERMATE DISCOVER HIPPO"!
Entermate Discover Hippo - Level 3 – Beast/Earth/Effect 800 Atk/800 Def
If you Tribute this card for a Tribute Summon, this card can be treated as 2 Tributes.
"Hippo Hippo" Discover Hippo says, before offering a bow. I nod in reply and say "Hippo, find Alexis" I jump onto the back of Hippo, hitching a ride.
A few minutes of searching later, Hippo stops , pointing towards a photo on the floor , it's of Atticus. I pick it up. We reach a room full of Coffins. I see... no way, That's Fate's hairbands. The shadows were telling the truth. I hold it for a second, hugging it close before hi-five'ing Hippo and saying "Thanks Hippo, you found us 2 great clues." Hippo salutes back.
I open the Coffin Hippo points at, and find Alexis, alive, soul intact, not eaten by shadows, but unconscious and say "Hippo, can you take her back to the D-Wheel, I'll meet you there." Hippo nods, and I place Alexis on his back and he runs off towards the exit. I follow along quickly , reaching my D-Wheel probably about two minutes after Hippo, damn that Hippo is fast and place Alexis on board. "Thanks Hippo" I say, and he bows, and dismisses himself, knowing his work is done for the day.
I hop on board the D-wheel after securing Alexis, and drive, quietly and carefully so she doesn't fall, back to the Boat, hopefully we didn't get caught, but if we did, I can explain it away easily enough. I arrive back at the Boat in short order and lift Alexis onto the sofa before placing my D-wheel in its Cleaner, placing my Duel-Disk and my deck in their storage spots, and going back to the lounge
Alexis wakes up just as I enter the room and says "Kamito, what happened, I remember going to lay a flower at the abandoned dorm, and then that big creep called Titan grabbed me, and then I woke up here" I reply "Heard your scream from on the boat. Drove towards the abandoned dorm at speed on my D-wheel, tracked down Titan, beat him in a rather brutal manner, he won't be bothering anyone else for a while, found you, brought you back here, hopefully all without being seen, but I doubt even I'm that lucky"
Alexis blushes red and says "Thanks for saving me, Who knows what that creep was going to do whilst I was unconscious" Alexis shudders. I say "You're my friend, I wouldn't let anyone do that to you" and then add "By the way, I found some things in the abandoned dorm, a few clues" Alexis immediately becomes hyper attentive at this point and says "What'd you find!" I take out the picture of her brother from my pocket and pass it to her, she hugs it close. And then I take out the 2 hairbands and place them on the table. "These hairbands have labels on , Property of Fate Testarossa. She was wearing them last time I saw her."
Alexis and I both tear up at this point, but I remain serious and say "When I was duelling Titan, little Shadow Spirits appeared from all over the dorm, and possessed Titan, not that it made him a better duelist, but the Shadow possessed Titan did say a few interesting things" Alexis replies "Any more clues" and I shrug saying "In a way, It was those Shadows that took our friends, but that confuses me. My Dragon was able to drive away the Shadows, keeping them from trying to touch me, Clear-Wing Synchro Dragon, Fate's ace monster, should have been capable of the same. Fate must have been knocked out before the shadows appeared." "They also left a foreboding message. When I demanded the shadow creature bring Fate to me, it said 'You will see her soon enough' even though it knew at that point it lost the duel. I think our loved ones might have been possessed by the shadow creatures, and I'll have to beat them in a duel to get them back to normal when they appear, or something"
Alexis nods for a second and says "wait, why just you, I could beat Atticus in a duel" I shake my head and say "Perhaps, perhaps not, but it isn't whether you can defeat your brother in a duel, its whether you can purge the darkness from him. I will most likely be the only one able to purge them because of the power of Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and my other cards " Alexis looks solemn , before nodding and saying with added resolve "We'll find them, you beat them, and then we have our loved ones back. And then we slaughter the ones responsible for them being gone all this time" I nod and agree entirely with her. I didn't tell her about Berserk mode yet, but that's a conversation I'd like to avoid until necessary. I still don't understand how Berserk mode even works, I just know the name Fate always called it.
I hear Alexis' stomach rumble and say "Hey Lex, want some Food?" She nods wholeheartedly before following me to the kitchen. "I point to the Stay-hot box and say "Pizza in there, large one, wanna split it?" She ponders that for a second and says "What toppings", I laugh and say "Pepperoni of course" She looks excited at the prospect of late night Pizza.
I check the clock. 2am. We've just finished the rather awesome Pizza, Alexis enjoyed it and I say "Hey Lex, 2am, can you sneak back to your dorm without being seen, or do you need to crash here? No classes tomorrow so don't exactly need to be up early". She thinks about it and says "Sure its alright if I crash here? They lock us in from the outside past midnight, I'd be locked out." I laugh and say "Can't have that can we, stand up and hit the button on the left arm of the sofa" She does, and it transforms into a bed. Underneath the bed (tucked under the sofa) are the sheets, pillows and duvet for the bed. "Ready for bed now?" She, for some reason keeps her toothbrush in her handbag, so was able to brush her teeth fine. She replies "Yeah. Thanks. Catch you in the morning? I shrug and say "Possibly early afternoon. Tired. Night Lex" She replies "Night Kamito" before I say "Activate Night mode. Lockdown. Security level. Prevent external access. Keyword onomatophobia . Before having a quick shower, putting on my pyjamas and getting into bed myself.
AN - Only 1 Duel this Chapter, so a Shorter one. Berserk Mode fun. Had to include Rank-Up-Magic the seventh one for Kamito's berserk mode , it just felt appropriately dark for a berserk mode card.
Changes - Anime C107 , IRL 107. Likely to follow this pattern with all chaos numbers.
Buffed the Seventh one – Made it not once per duel
Buffed Infernalqueen Archfiend. Archfiends are awful, it didn't matter though.
Anime Hippo because its cooler than its IRL counterpart.
Titan gets to face a more competent opponent. Chaos XYZ monster gets to eat the bad man. He'll be back.
Next up is the Fallout of the Abandoned dorm trek. Who knows what could happen.
Action duels can deal real damage, so I figured it was a gimmick as Titan claimed to be a Shadow duellist.
Edited for spelling and stuff.
