Ruler of the Gentle Darkness (Chapter Eight)
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
With that the MC announced "With the first match over Jaden Yuki now advances to the Quarter-Finals. We will take a five minute intermission and then the next match will be announced."
"Alright Jaden" all his friends rushed towards him tossing him into the air a bit before clapping him on the shoulder still cheering.
"Geez, look at those guys" Joey laughed. "There friend wins the first match and they act like he just beat Yugi."
"They're all just really close to each other" Yugi said smiling at the group of friends.
Kaiba wasn't too touchy-feely on this "If you're all done here" he said walking up to them. They calmed down a bit and Kaiba turned to Jaden "You won the first match; as such you are entitled to your opponent's rarest card."
Jaden turned back to Weevil, seeing him trying to slink away, but instead of getting mad he just laughed. "I'll pass; his cards would throw off my deck's dynamics anyway" Jaden said.
Kaiba shrugged "If that's what you want" he said before walking away.
"That was a sweet duel out there Jay; I haven't seen you have a duel like that in a long time" Syrus said feeling all pumped up from seeing the duel.
"Looks like you've definitely gotten better slacker" Chazz smirked. "I'll look forward to dueling you in the finals."
"Assuming you make it to the finals" Aster smirked.
Everyone began to laugh slightly as Chazz and Aster got in each other's faces until Alexis pulled Jaden away "You were amazing out there" she said softly.
Jaden smiled "Thanks… but there's still so much more to do." Jaden looked over to the competitors Reiner and Marco with narrowed eyes "One of those two is the Transcendent Emperor, but I can't tell who it is."
Alexis turned his face back to her gently "Don't worry about that right now; focus on other things. Your time will come; don't worry." Jaden finally nodded and shared a small kiss with her.
"Attention Duelists" the MC announced. "The competitors for the next match will now be chosen." Everyone turned back to face the screen as it began to rapidly rush through names before coming to a stop on two names.
Rex Raptor vs. Jesse Anderson
Jesse grinned "Alright; looks like it's my turn to duel."
Rex grunted 'Man; seeing that Jaden kid whoop Weevil like that was nerve-wracking.' Looking to Jesse Rex thought 'And I bet this guy is no different. No way am I going to lose in the first round; no way. I will not be humiliated any longer.'
Both Jesse and Rex stood in the duel arena staring at one another "Alright duelists; select your Deck Master."
Rex cycled through his deck before finding the monster he wanted "I choose the mighty Serpent Night Dragon." Behind him the Serpent Night Dragon appeared with a mighty roar.
Jesse cycled through his deck before smirking "For my Deck Master; I select Rainbow Zombie." Behind Jesse his Rainbow Zombie appeared and stood silently waiting orders.
"Alright then; if you are both ready then the duel will now begin" the MC said.
"You're going down you little punk" Rex taunted Jesse.
"We'll see about that" Jesse responded. "I'll go first" he drew a card and looked at his hand. "Alright for my first move I summon Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise in defense mode." On the field appeared Jesse's tortoise hiding inside its shell with emerald spikes sticking from the shell (600/2000).
"Crystals" Tea said in awe staring at the monster.
"Wow, mommy they're so beautiful" her daughter said in awe.
"And to end my move I place three cards face down on the field" Jesse said.
"Then it's my move now" Rex said drawing a card. Looking at his hand he smirked "And to begin with I activate the effect of my Gilasaurus, which allows me to summon it to the field automatically." On the field a giant raptor dinosaur appeared (1400/400). "But I'm not done yet because I have a second Gilasaurus in my hand and I'm using the same effect to summon it to the field." On the field a second Gilasaurus appeared with a roar. "And I'm not done yet, for next I summon Kaitoptera." On the field a pterodactyl like monster appeared on the field with a loud screech (1400/1000). "To end my turn I place one card facedown."
"Not bad; he built up his field with monsters" Aster commented. "But none of them can break through Emerald Tortoise's defense."
"Chip away at the enemy's stronghold and eventually it crumbles" Axel said. "Let's just hope Jesse has a strategy."
"My move" Jesse said drawing a card. "Alright; I summon out Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat." On the field a pink cat with a large purple gem on its chest appeared on the field (1200/400).
"That little pussycat won't be able to do a thing to my dinosaurs" Rex said arrogantly.
"Pussycat he says" Amethyst Cat hissed. "Jesse, let me show him what this pussycat can do."
"Alright girl, we'll let him have it" Jesse said. "I attack with Amethyst Cat." Amethyst Cat jumped at Rex.
"You fool; your cat is too weak for my monsters" Rex boasted.
"Who said I was going for your monsters" Jesse smirked making Rex go wide eyed as Amethyst Cat charged past Rex's monsters and sliced into him.
Jesse: 4000
Rex: 3400
"What just happened" Joey said confused. "How'd he do that?"
Overhearing them Jesse said "My Amethyst Cat has a special ability; she can attack an opponent directly as long as her attack points are cute in half when it happens. With that I end my turn."
Rex growled and drew a card "I'm turning that cat into dinosaur food. I activate Polymerization and fuse Kaitoptera and Gilasaurus together in order to summon Horned Saurus." On the field both monsters vanished and formed a massive black pterodactyl-like monster (2000/1800).
"Yikes, big bird" Jesse said with a nervous grin.
"This big bird is about to feast on your life points" Rex said. "Especially since when he's fusion summoned he can attack you directly this turn. Go Horned Saurus; attack his life points directly." Horned Saurus charged forward intent on hitting Jesse head on.
"Not so fast there; I activate my facedown card G Force" Jesse said.
"G what" Rex said shocked.
"G Force; it's a trap card that instead makes your monster do battle with a Crystal Beast Monster in my hand" Jesse said. Rex growled "And the monster you'll do battle with is Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus." On the field appeared a massive Pegasus horse with sapphire studs in its body (1800/1200).
"Big deal; it's still 200 points weaker than my Horned Saurus" Rex said confidently.
"That's what you'd think" Jesse responded. "That's why I activate the spell card M Force. This spell card increases Sapphire Pegasus's attack points by 500." Sapphire Pegasus glowed briefly as his attack points rose (1800+500=2300/1200). "Now it's your monster that's not strong enough."
"No, my Horned Saurus" Rex shouted.
"Is done for" Jesse finished. "Sapphire Pegasus use Sapphire Horn attack." Sapphire Pegasus charged and stabbed Horned Saurus through with its horn destroying it.
Jesse: 4000
Rex: 3100
Rex growled even louder "You may have stopped that attack, but you won't stop this one; Gilasaurus destroy that Amethyst Cat." Gilasaurus charged forward and chomped Amethyst Cat destroying her.
'Sorry girl' Jesse apologized silently.
Jesse: 3800
Rex: 3100
A small sapphire stone appeared on Jesse's field "What the hell; what's that" Rex demanded.
"It's the special ability of all my Crystal Beast monsters" Jesse explained. "When they're destroyed I have the option of putting them in my spell/trap card zone instead of sending them to the graveyard. And speaking of that; now that one's been sent there I can activate this card; E Force. What this card does is that it allows me to special summon a Crystal Beast from my Spell/Trap card zone back to my field. So Amethyst Cat, come on back."
Amethyst cat reappeared on the field right back next to Emerald Tortoise. Rex grunted "Fine, I end my turn."
"Then it's my move" Jesse said drawing a card. "I activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards." Jesse drew his two cards. "Alright I activate the spell card GEM Burst."
"More gems" Rex said annoyed.
"Oh yeah; with this card I remove from my Graveyard, G Force, E Force and M Force and in return I can put as many Crystal Beasts as I can from my hand to my spell/trap card zone. And for each one I put there you lose 500 life points."
"I what" Rex shouted wide eyed.
"Oh yeah and right now I place three of them there; Sapphire Pegasus, Amber Mammoth and Cobalt Eagle" Jesse said placing each card there. A sapphire, amber and cobalt stone appeared on his field "And since that's three; you lose 1500 life points."
Rex yelled as his life points dropped.
Jesse: 3800
Rex: 1600
"Next I activate the Field spell card Ancient City – Rainbow Ruins" Jesse said. Slamming his field spell card into the slot the entire deck transformed into the Roman Coliseum with a large rainbow going overhead.
"Hmm, I always wanted to visit Rome" Joey commented.
"And now to complete my turn; Amethyst Cat I activate your special ability" Jesse said. "Half your attack points and attack him directly." Amethyst Cat charged forward and slashed through Rex once more.
Jesse: 3800
Rex: 1000
Red growled angrily at Jesse 'That brat; he's countered every move I've ever done. My monsters keep falling and my life points do as well. How can he keep doing this with those weak monsters; they're useless and I can't use my facedown card because his spell and trap cards haven't effected my monsters at all.'
"Hey, it's your move; you gonna make it or not" Jesse called to Rex.
"I'll more than make it" Rex sneered drawing a card. He got a nasty smirk on his face as he looked at the card he drew "I move Serpent Night Dragon into play." Serpent Night Dragon moved onto the field and into play (2350/2400).
"He moved his Deck Master into play" Chazz said.
"That's a gutsy move; he must have something planned" Alexis said.
"Whatever it is Jesse will counter it" Jaden said confident in his friend's abilities.
"I know activate the Deck Master special ability of Serpent Night Dragon" Rex called. "When it's moved into play I can summon one level seven or higher dragon-type monster from my hand ignoring all summoning conditions."
"Uh oh" Jesse said nervously.
"Uh oh is right" Rex smirked. "I now summon to the field my Tyrant Dragon." A massive prehistoric dragon appeared on the field with a roar (2900/2500). Rex laughed at Jesse's look "No monster you have can save you; they're all way too weak."
"Hey, these cards are my family" Jesse shouted at him. "And someone like you has no right to call them weak." His passion-filled voice got him many smiles from the other duelists.
"Then you and your 'family' can be destroyed together" Rex smirked. "Tyrant Dragon attack his Amethyst Cat with Tyrant Wave." Tyrant Dragon launched a large wave of fire that completely enveloped Amethyst Cat. Jesse cringed from the attack.
Jesse: 2600
Rex: 1000
An amethyst stone appeared in Jesse's spell and trap card zone "And now it's time for your last line of defense to be ripped to shreds; when Tyrant Dragon attacks and you still have a monster on the field he gets to attack again."
"He what" Jesse gasped.
"Tyrant Wave attack" Rex shouted. Tyrant Dragon attacked and destroyed Jesse's Emerald Tortoise. An Emerald stone appeared in his spell and trap card zone. "Luckily for you Serpent Night Dragon can't attack on the turn I use his Deck Master Special ability, but my Gilasaurus can. Go, attack him directly." Gilasaurus charged and hit Jesse so hard he knocked him off his feet.
Jesse: 1200
Rex: 1000
"Jesse" all his friends shouted. "You okay pal" Jaden called.
"Ugh… I'm good" Jesse grunted getting back up. Wiping his lip he smirked "This guy's good; I need a good draw to come out on top." Looking at his deck he smiled "Come on deck, don't fail me now." Drawing his card Jesse looked at the card and smirked.
"What are you smirking about" Rex glared
"I'm smirking because this duel is almost over."
"For you" Rex sneered.
"We'll find out after this" Jesse said. "I activate the effect of Ancient City – Rainbow Ruins. When I have five Crystal Beasts in my spell/trap card zone I can special summon one of them to my field and the one I choose is Sapphire Pegasus." Jesse's Sapphire Pegasus reappeared on the field. "And when Sapphire Pegasus is special summoned I can take one Crystal Beast from either my hand, deck or graveyard and put it in my spell/trap card zone and I choose my good friend Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle."
On the field a ruby stone appeared in Jesse's spell/trap card zone.
"And I now activate Ruby's effect; when he's put in my spell/trap card zone I can special summon him to the field" Jesse said. On his field Ruby Carbuncle appeared (300/300). All the children present looked at Ruby Carbuncle with shining eyes of want; it made Ruby blush slightly.
"That thing won't be able to do anything against my monsters" Rex said arrogantly.
"He doesn't have to" Jesse said. "Because when Ruby Carbuncle is special summoned to the field I can take as many Crystal Beast Monster's as possible from my spell/trap card zone and summon them to the field."
On the field Emerald Tortoise (600/2000), Amber Mammoth (1700/1600) and Cobalt Eagle (1400/800) appeared on the field. "And with that I'll end my turn" Jesse said.
Rex drew his next card "You're only delaying the inevitable. Did you forget that now my Serpent Night Dragon can attack and my Tyrant Dragon can attack twice? Go my monsters attack them all." In the end Jesse lost Emerald Tortoise, Amber Mammoth, Cobalt Eagle and Sapphire Pegasus "Next turn you're finished" Rex smirked.
"We'll see about that" Jesse said drawing a card. Looking at his hand he chuckled "I guess now it's truly over."
"What are you rambling about" Rex grunted.
"Take a look; I activate the spell card Crystal Beacon" Jesse said. "With this card I can summon one Crystal Beast monster from my deck and the one I choose to summon is Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger." On the field Jesse's tiger appeared with its topaz stone shining brightly (1600/1000).
"Is this the last of your pathetic weak monsters" Rex taunted.
"Yes" Jesse said calmly making Rex frown. "Now that all seven Crystal Beasts monsters are out on the field I can now summon out my most powerful monster."
"And it's over" Jaden said with a smirk. Beside him all his friends nodded in agreement.
"With all seven crystal beasts on the field I can now summon out my Rainbow Dragon" Jesse called. In a swirl of powerful, and beautiful, rainbow energy a mighty white dragon with rainbow colored gems studded in its body appeared on the field with a mighty roar (4000/0).
"The Rainbow Dragon" Pegasus said with loving awe. "How I've longed to see it in play."
Rex didn't share Pegasus' enthusiasm "That thing's huge" he gasped.
"Oh yeah and if you think he's big now wait until he attacks" Jesse said. "Rainbow Dragon attack his Serpent Night Dragon with Rainbow Blast."
"No" Rex screamed as Rainbow Dragon started its attack. "If Serpent Night Dragon is destroyed I'll lose the duel. This cannot be happening."
"Yeah, well it is" Jesse said. "Go Rainbow Dragon." Rainbow Dragon launched a large beam of rainbow energy that completely enveloped Serpent Night Dragon destroying the monster.
Jesse: 1200
Rex: 0
"The Deck Master of Rex Raptor has been destroyed" the MC announced. "Therefore the winner of the duel is Jesse Anderson."
Jesse grinned "Good duel" he said to a catatonic-like Rex. Neglecting to take the rarest card from his opponent's deck Jesse instead went off to get congratulations from his friends.
"Sweet duel out there Jesse; you had in the bag from the very beginning didn't you" Jaden said.
"Well I wouldn't say that, but it was a great duel" Jesse said with a sheepish grin. While the younger duelists talked amongst each other they were being studied by the older duelists. Here these young duelists appeared and beat duelists over ten years older than them. Even though they had only seen Jaden and Jesse duel they were counting the others as real competition already.
"Attention duelists; the names for the third duel are about to be picked" the MC announced. Everyone turned their attention to the screen as it began to cycle through names once more before finally stopping on two names.
Syrus Truesdale vs. Mako Tsunami
"The Duelists chosen for the third duel" the MC announced. "Syrus Truesdale and Mako Tsunami; duelists take your positons."
"Good luck Sy" Jaden said giving his friend a hearty pat on the back that made him stumble slightly.
"R-Right" Syrus said walking up and taking his place on one side of the Duel Arena as Mako took the other side.
"Duelists select your Deck Master" the MC called.
Mako smirked and plucked a card from his deck "My Deck Master, of course, shall be the Legendary Fisherman." On the field a fisherman riding a large mako shark wielding a spear appeared on the field.
Syrus shuffled through his deck a couple times before smiling and plucking a card from his deck "I select Dragonroid as my Deck Master." As he said that a cartoonish looking metal dragon appeared on the field behind Syrus.
"Okay, so we got a fisherman and a toy dragon" Mai said in a dry voice. "This should be fun."
"You never know Mai" Joey said to his wife. "This kid, much like his friends, is probably full of surprises."
"Alright duelists; the third match will now begin" the MC shouted.
"It's amazing you made it this far little boy, but I'll send you back to mommy soon enough" Mako taunted. "My move." Mako drew a card and smirked "I activate the field spell Umi." As he did that the entire area turned into an ocean.
"Ugh, the water" Syrus shuddered as he felt the water.
"Ha, you afraid to get wet" Mako taunted. "You're about to get even wetter; I summon to the field Great White." A massive shark with muscular arms appeared on the field with a roar (1600/800). "After that I place one card facedown; make your move kid."
"Alright" Syrus said drawing a card. Looking at his hand Syrus looked over his options. "I summon Cyber Dragon Core" he said. On the field appeared a long slithery dragon monster with red eyes and sharp mechanical teeth (400/1500). "I now activate the effect of Cyber Dragon Core; when he's successfully summoned I get to add one spell or trap card with Cyber in its name to my hand and the card I choose is Cyberdark Impact."
"No amount of spell or traps will save you from my creatures of the deep" Mako said confidently.
"Say that after you've beaten me because I now activate Cyber Destruction" Syrus said. The spell card depicted a cyber monster overloaded and about to explode. "What this does is allow me to tribute one Cyber Monster on my side of the field as long as it's level 4 or less and you take damage equal to it's attack points. So goodbye Cyber Dragon Core."
Cyber Dragon Core roared and exploded and the backlash hit Mako making him grunt from the backlash.
Syrus: 4000
Mako: 3600
"I'm not done yet because I activate Cyber Dragon Core's second ability" Syrus continued. "Since you control a monster I can banish Cyber Dragon Core from my graveyard and in return I can summon one Cyber Dragon from my deck." Syrus plucked the card from his deck and Cyber Dragon appeared on the field with a roar (2100/1600).
"Grr" Mako growled as he stared at the monster. But then he smirked silently 'Attack; feel the sting of my sea creatures' he thought.
Syrus, however, did not attack "I now activate the spell card Different Dimension Capsule" he said. "With it I pick one card from my deck and put it inside this capsule. In two turns it will return to my hand. I then place one card facedown and end my turn."
"My move" Mako said drawing a card. Smirking he said "I now move my Deck Master into play." Legendary Fisherman moved into play (1850/1600). "Thanks to Umi, all of my monsters get a 200 attack point increase." Legendary Fisherman (1850+200=2050/1600) and Great White (1800+200=2000/800) got an attack point increase. "And that's not all; as long as Umi is in play all machine monsters lose 200 attack points and that includes your Cyber Dragon."
Syrus grit his teeth as he saw his Cyber Dragon lose attack points (2100-200=1900/1600).
"Now Great White destroy his Cyber Dragon" Mako ordered as Great White shot towards Cyber Dragon.
"Sorry, not going to happen" Syrus called. "I activate my trap card Attack Reflector Unit. This trap card allows me to tribute Cyber Dragon and in return I can summon Cyber Barrier Dragon." On the field appeared a much longer and bigger dragon (800/2800) in defense mode. It was too late for Mako to call off his attack.
Syrus: 4000
Mako: 2800
Mako growled again "You may have a strong defense now, but it will not last" he vowed. "I cancel the battle phase and end my turn."
"My move" Syrus said drawing a card. "I place one card in defense mode" he said as a card appeared face down on his field. "And that's it for now."
"Then it's my move" Mako said drawing a card. 'Now he's just stalling until that Different Dimension Capsule card of his gives him that card he wants. I'm not letting that happen.' "I summon Jellyfish." On the field a large jellyfish appeared (1200/1500). "Next I activate the ritual card Fortress Whale's Oath. With it I sacrifice my Jellyfish and my Great White in order to summon Fortress Whale." Both of his monsters vanished and on the field a giant whale with a cannon on its back appeared (2350/2150). "Now my whale mow down his defensive card with Deep Sea Cannon." Fortress Whale launched a large blast of energy that struck Syrus' defense mode card.
It showed up revealing a spiky cybernetic dragon with red lights on its body. Syrus smirked "By attacking my Cyber Valley you've activated his special ability. When he's attacked I can banish him from the duel, draw one card from my deck and end the battle phase."
Mako growled as his battle ended and Syrus got another card from his deck "I end my turn." 'When is this little pipsqueak gonna attack?'
"My turn" Syrus drew a card. A capsule appeared on the field "And since two turns have no passed I get my card from Different Dimension Capsule." Putting the card in his hand Syrus grabbed a different card "I now activate Cyberdark Impact and with this card I can send Cyberdark Keel, Cyberdark Horn and Cyberdark Edge from my hand back to my deck and in return I can summon Cyberdark Dragon."
A massive dark mechanized dragon with oversized wings appeared on the field with a mighty roar (1000/1000).
"That's it; all that work for such a weak monster" Mako said in disbelief before laughing.
Syrus frowned "Laugh after this; Cyberdark Dragon gains 100 attack points for each monster in my graveyard." Mako promptly did making Syrus smirk "It may just be one monster, but it'll do." Cyberdark Dragon increased its attack (1000+100=1100/1000). "But I'm not done yet; I activate Cyberdark Dragon's effect; it allows me to take one Dragon-type monster from my graveyard and equip it to my Cyberdark Dragon."
Cyber Dragon appeared and wrapped around Cyberdark Dragon giving it its attack points, but because it was brought from the graveyard it lost its extra 100 attack points (1100-100=1000+2100=3100/1000).
Mako gasped "3100 attack points." Gritting his teeth he called out "Don't forget Umi makes your monster lose 200 attack points." Cyberdark Dragon lost some attack points (3100-200=2900/1000).
"I may have lost some points, but Cyberdark Dragon is still powerful enough to take down your monsters and you've left your Deck Master completely unprotected" Syrus said.
"I think not; Legendary Fisherman cannot be attacked while Umi is on the field" Mako said confidently.
"But your Fortress Whale can be; Cyberdark Dragon attack with Dark Strident burst" Syrus shouted. His Cyberdark Dragon roared and launched a massive beam at Fortress whale.
Mako smirked 'Finally he attacked' he thought. "I activate my trap card; Wrath of the Sea." This card depicted a massive tsunami about to envelop a boat. "When your monster attacks my monster it's all rebounded back at you and it destroys all monsters on your side of the field." Cyberdark Dragon's attack was absorbed and launched back at Syrus destroying his Cyberdark Dragon and his Cyber Barrier Dragon. "Oh and did I forget to mention; you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's combined attack points. So in other words say goodbye to 3500 life points."
A massive attack hit Syrus knocking him off his feet.
Mako: 2800
Syrus: 500
"Oh man, that backlash just took a huge chunk of Syrus' life points" Alexis gasped.
"It's not over yet; Syrus can still make a comeback" Jesse said.
Syrus got back up shaking a bit before sighing slightly 'Man that was a bad trap I walked into' he thought. "Alright Mako I place two cards facedown and end my turn."
Mako laughed "And now I end it; go Legendary Fisherman attack his life points directly." Legendary Fisherman rose up from the ocean and charged towards Syrus.
"Not quite; I activate my facedown card" Syrus called. "Go Cyber Sacrifice; I sacrifice half of my life points and one of your monsters and I get to resurrect a Cyber Monster, but since it's your deck master you'll lose the duel."
"I think not" Mako smirked. "My Deck Master special ability is that while Legendary Fisherman and Umi are on the field none of my monsters are effected by spell cards." Syrus gasped as his Cyber Sacrifice spell card was destroyed. "And now it's over."
"Not yet; go Negate Attack" Syrus called activating his other facedown card. "Now your attack ends." Legendary Fisherman's attack was absorbed and the fisherman retreated to the sea. 'Too close' he thought.
"You're just stalling Truesdale; you can't stall forever" Mako said.
'He's right' Syrus thought. 'I don't have the right cards in my hand to finish the duel. I was originally going to use Power Bond to summon the Cyber End Dragon, but that won't work right now. I need one more card to end this, but I need to summon it this turn… or I will lose.'
Looking over to his friends Syrus saw all of their supporting gazes telling him he could do it. Smiling and feeling as much confidence as he could Syrus drew, what could be, his final card. Syrus looked at the card and he smirked.
"I activate the special ability of my Deck Master Dragonroid" Syrus said. "First I sacrifice half of my life points." Syrus grunted as he lost life points.
Mako: 2800
Syrus: 250
"And now every monster in my deck, my extra deck, my graveyard and my hand all become dragon-type monster and all of their attributes focus on dragon types and nothing else" Syrus said.
"Big deal what will that do" Mako demanded.
"Plenty, especially when I activate this card; Future Fusion" Syrus said. "With it I take as many monsters as I can and send them to my graveyard to summon a fusion monster and in two turns that monster will appear." Syrus then discarded three cards from his hand and took out over 2/3 of his deck and discarded it to the graveyard.
"He just discarded so much of his deck" Serenity gasped.
"The card he's summoning must be incredibly powerful" Mai said wide eyed.
Mako was looking nervous now 'That many cards discarded; the monster he's going to summon must be huge. I can't let him summon it; I must defeat him on my next turn.'
"Let me guess; you're thinking 'I must defeat him next turn right'" Syrus asked. Mako grit his teeth glaring at Syrus. "Sorry, but there is no next turn; not after I activate this."
Mako gasped at the card "Not Turn Jump" he shouted.
"Yes, Turn Jump and thanks to it three turns have now passed, which means Future Fusion activates" Syrus said. Monster spirits flew from Syrus' deck and began to fuse together. "Say hello to one of my most powerful monsters; Chimeratech Fortress Dragon." On the field a massive purple and silver dragon appeared with a circular sectioned body with two roaring heads (0/0).
"What, that thing has zero attack points" Mako pointed out.
"For now he does" Syrus said. "However Chimeratech Fortress Dragon gains attack points times 1000 for the amount of monsters I used to fuse it together. I'll let you do the math; I used 25 monsters to fuse him together."
It didn't take long for everyone to figure it out "25000 attack points" this shocked response came from Kaiba of all people.
Mako realized it was over and stood tall and silent waiting for the attack. "Now Chimeratech Fortress Dragon attack him with Strident Overload." Chimeratech Fortress Dragon roared and launched a massive beam that struck Mako's Fortress Whale. Everything was enveloped in a bright white light and when it finally vanished the field was completely empty.
Syrus: 250
Mako: 0
"The duel is over; Syrus Truesdale is the victor" the MC announced.
"Alright I won" Syrus cheered as his friends rushed up to him and carried him off the field cheering with him. The older duelists couldn't believe another one of the duelists from their generation had lost. Were their dueling skills lacking or had the new generation already surpassed them.
Five minutes passed before they knew it and the MC announced to them the competitors for the fourth duel. The screen flashed through the names before stopping loudly.
