Chapter Two: The Return of the Queen
Kiba's Entrance Exam Duel had started and he was in a very tight position right now. With only a single card left in his magic and trap card zone but with no monsters on the field. His life points were at 4600 and had dropped this way with one single attack! He was holding three cards in his hand and was about to draw his fourth.
'Please…Help me…' Kiba drew the card and flipped to an angle so he could see it. A grin grew on his face as he directed his attention to Sankaku. "I set one monster to end my turn." he said slamming the set monster card on his Duel Disk. (3)
"What a very simplistic turn." she stated in a sigh. Sankaku had the upper hand on this duel, she held only one card in her hand but her field was strong! With a set monster on the field with Cosmo Queen (ATK: 2900) who was brought back from the cemetery by Genuine Birthright; with Goddess of Extermination Ruin (ATK: 2300) who could attack once again in a row after her first attack.
"Lets see you try this little fella' out!" Kiba challenged.
Sankaku just sighed and drew her card from the top of her deck. "Very well I will summon Dark Elf to the field in attack mode (ATK: 2000)." Sankaku introduced her monster.
The elf of darkness appeared with an evil snicker. She was wearing a long teal gown with a golden 'crown' on her head. Her hair was dark purple and her skin was of a light brown.
"Now Ruin attack his facedown monster!" Sankaku ordered.
The goddess jumped in the air and pointed her staff towards the facedown card. She dived towards the ground and slashed the facedown monster on her way. This was the same style of attack she had destroyed his Bighorn Mammoth with.
"That was extremely easy." Sankaku said.
"You just triggered my monster's effect!" Kiba grinned. "I believe you have already heard of Quick Squirrel (DEF: 100)."
"Oh no, not that thing!" Sankaku gasped.
"Yup, that thing." Kiba cocked a smile on his face. "When Quick Squirrel is destroyed I gain a 1000 life points but also I can summon all my other Quick Squirrels in my deck in facedown defence mode." Kiba explained.
Sankaku blinked a few times as she watched Kiba look through his deck. Kiba took two cards out of his deck and slammed them facedown on his Duel Disk. Then his life points increase by 1000 to 5600.
"Way to go Kiba!" Sora cheered for him.
Kiba gave her a thumbs-up. "Thanks."
"Well I can get rid of those stupid squirrels!" Sankaku barked. "Ruin attack his Quick Squirrel again!" she ordered. The goddess repeated what she had done with the previous Quick Squirrel, destroying it.
"Thanks for giving me another 1000 life points." Kiba said as his life points increased once again to 6600.
"Cosmo Queen attack his last Quick Squirrel." Sankaku told her alien.
The queen of the cosmos created her two orbs once again in each hand. She released them into the air and pointed her pointy fingers towards the facedown monster in front of Kiba. The two orbs dashed down towards the facedown card and destroyed it.
"Another 1000 life points for me." Kiba said. His life points gained another 1000. His life points were now at 7600 more then he had before Cosmo Queen attack him.
"I end my turn since I wouldn't want to waist 1000 life points just to attack with my Dark Elf." Sankaku explained ending her turn. (1)
Kiba cocked his left eyebrow. "Why would you want a monster that needs 1000 life points to attack?" he asked.
"It's a stall Kiba." Sora answered from the sidelines.
"A stall? I don't get it."
"Well Dark Elf has a high attack points so she protects Sankaku-san when she can't do anything." she explained.
Kiba simply nodded. "I understand… Well back to the duel!" He quickly drew his card and added it to his hand. "Alright I set one monster and end my turn." (3)
"Another simple turn." Sankaku sighed. She drew her card from her deck and placed it in her hand. She examined the two cards in her hand. 'Shield Crush… This card could come in handy right now.'
"What yah doing?" Kiba asked from the other side of the Duel Field.
"I'm thinking and I'm going to destroy." Sankaku said in laughter. "I activate Shield Crush, this card can destroy one defence positioned monster on the field."
"Crud!" Kiba gasped. A green beam pierced through the facedown monster and destroyed it.
"This is the beginning of your doom!" Sankaku spat out.
Kiba simply grinned and chuckled a bit. "You really think its that easy?" he asked.
"What are you talking about?"
He showed the monster Sankaku had destroyed earlier. "You destroyed Phantom Beast King- Gazelle (DEF: 1200)!"
"So what it's a normal monster." she stated.
"I realize that but it's what coming. Because Gazelle is a Beast sub-type monster and he was destroyed and sent to the graveyard: you triggered a monster's effect!" Kiba explained.
"What monster?" Sankaku asked beginning to panic.
Kiba showed the three cards in his hand. He took the middle from his hand and slammed it onto his Duel Disk. "By paying 1000 life points I can Special Summon this monster when a Beast sub-type monster is destroyed!"
"What?" Sankaku asked in a gasp.
Kiba's life points dropped to 6600 but this time it wasn't painful. "Come forth: Forest Guardian Green Baboon (ATK: 2600) in attack mode!"
A giant green primate appeared with a horribly loud roar. The ape had long green fur of all tones on its body but had armour made out of what seemed to be tree bark. The baboon was holding a giant club in his right hand.
Sankaku gulped at the sight of the green ape. "So… It still has less attack points then my Cosmo Queen."
"Lets see what your Cosmo Queen can do against my Baboon!" Kiba challenged once again.
Sankaku bit her lip. 'What is this will that this kid has? What is he planning?'
Sora examined the field and then she saw it, the thing that could maybe save Kiba. 'That facedown card… What could it be?' she wondered.
Sankaku stopped biting her lip and placed her focus on the baboon. "Cosmo Queen attack his Green Baboon!" she ordered. The queen of the cosmos repeated the spell with the two orbs. She released them into the air as usual and pointed her finger at the green monster.
"Bad choice…" Kiba said softly.
"What are you talking about?" Sankaku asked. "Does your monster have a hidden effect?"
Kiba shook his head. "But I still have my facedown card from way before remember?"
Sankaku looked towards Kiba's magic and trap card zone. It indeed still had the set card he had placed before. "But why didn't you activate it before?" she asked.
"Because it wasn't the right time." he answered simply. "But this time it is! Activate Quick-Play spell card: Rush Recklessly!"
"Not that card!" Sankaku gasped.
"Yes this card. This card increases any monster on the field attack points by 700." Kiba explained. "And I'm guessing you know who I choose… My Forest Guardian Green Baboon!" The green primate roared as energy flew through him (ATK: 3300).
"My Cosmo Queen... She'll be destroyed! Stop your attack!" Sankaku cried out. But it was to late.
The two orbs dashed towards the green primate but when making contact with the monster they vanished without even harming the creature. The guardian of the forest roared and lifted his club into the air. With a quick and strong move, he slammed the weapon into the queen's head. Cosmo Queen vanished with a horrible screech of pain and with her the trap card Genuine Birthright.
"It... It can't be!" Sankaku babbled. Her life points dropped from 7800 to 7400.
"So you are going to end your turn?" Kiba asked.
Sankaku simply remained silent as she switched her two attack positioned monster to defence position. "I end my turn." she said almost in despair. (1)
"Nice come back Kiba!" Sora cried out.
"Thanks!" he replied. 'A friend on the first day… This might actually be a good year.' he told himself. He drew his card from the top of his deck and examined his hand. "Alright I summon Phantom Beast Wild Horn (ATK: 1700) in attack mode."
The humanoid deer creature appeared beside the giant primate. It was standing on its two heavily muscled hind legs and held his weapon with his front ones that had become arms with human hands. It was wearing an old looking assemblage of clothes including a cape and some leg padding. The weapon it was holding was a deformed looking axe.
"Now… This is the start of your doom!" Kiba stated. "Now my Wild Horn has a Piercing ability!"
"Oh no!" Sankaku gasped.
"So when wild horn attacks a defence positioned monster, battle damage is inflicted." Kiba explained. "Now Wild Horn attack her Dark Elf (DEF: 800)!"
The humanoid deer creature snorted steam out his nostrils and pranced the ground. It charged antlers first towards the elf of darkness but slashed the elf with his axe. The elf was destroyed and Sankaku's life points dropped by 900.
"Now, Green Baboon destroy Goddess of Extermination- Ruin (DEF: 2000)!" he ordered.
The giant green ape growled and lifted his club. With the same fast and heavy movement, he slammed his club into the goddess. And with that, he destroyed the female Ritual summoning.
"Then I end my turn by setting one card." Kiba placed the card into his Duel Disk. "Your move." (1)
Sankaku remained silent as she drew her card. Her life points were at 6500; only 100 life points lower then Kiba's. 'This kid… He has something the others didn't… But what is it…' she wonder looking straight into Kiba's eyes.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
Sankaku blinked twice and snapped out of it. "No nothing is wrong but I must congratulate you."
Kiba blinked a few times. "Huh? Why's that? At the beginning of the duel you were mean."
"Well I must test students and I will only accept strong duellists." she sighed. "You are one of the few students that have gone past my Goddess of Extermination- Ruin and Cosmo Queen combo."
Kiba blinked a few times once again and smirked. He rubbed the back of his head and blushed. "Thanks, it was a pretty good combo."
"But the duel is far from over and I have much more tactics and plans." Sankaku snapped a reply.
"That's what I like to hear!" Kiba smirked.
Sankaku looked down at her hand and took the monster card from it. "I set one monster and end my turn." (1)
Kiba grinned; this duel was going his way now. He drew his card and placed it into his hand. "Not much I can do but attack! Wild Horn attack her facedown monster!"
The deer humanoid repeated what he had done before. Charging with his antlers first but destroying the monster with his axe. The creature appeared to be a golden mask with a giant red scar across the face.
"This is my Mask of Darkness (DEF: 400) and this Demon sub-type monster allows me to place on trap card back into my hand… I choose Genuine Birthright." Sankaku explained. She searched through her graveyard and took out the purple from it.
"Don't forget my Wild Horn's Piercing ability." Kiba reminded his opponent. Sankaku simply nodded as her life points dropped to 5200. "Now Green Baboon attack her last facedown." Kiba ordered. The primate lifted his club and smashed into the facedown monster destroying it.
"You destroyed my Apprentice Magician (DEF: 800) and when she is destroyed I can set one 2 or lower level Spellcaster sub-type monster from my deck." Sankaku explained. She took her deck out of its socket and searched through it. She pulled out a card and slapped it onto her Duel Disk.
Kiba looked at the facedown monster and shrugged. "Well that's all I can do, so I end my turn." (2)
Sankaku drew her card and placed it in her hand. 'This Duel is going nowhere if I don't do something quickly…' she told herself. "I set one card and set one monster to end my turn." she said. (1)
Kiba looked at her field, all the cards were set. But one card Kiba was sure of was the card in the magic and trap zone: it had to be Genuine Birthright. "Alright, my move." Kiba said drawing his card.
"Now I can activate my trap card: Genuine Birthright to bring back Cosmo Queen in attack mode (ATK: 2900)!" Sankaku cried out in triumph.
The strange looking alien queen reappeared on the field between the two set monsters. She was still wearing the crown on her head and her skin was still purple. Her clothes were still the same and strange looking. But her eyes had a diabolic look in them and they were looking straight at the green primate.
"Not good…" Kiba gulped. It was hard enough to destroy Cosmo Queen once but twice was going to be difficult.
"Its still your turn." Sankaku told him.
Kiba gulped as he looked at the alien monarch. "I switch my Wild Horn in defence position (DEF: 0) and my Green Baboon will attack your facedown monster."
The green primate lifted his club as usual and slammed it against the facedown monster. The monster was destroyed but an evil snicker was being echoed as the monster was destroyed.
"You destroyed my Tenacious Old Magician (DEF: 600) the monster I summoned with my Apprentice Magician's ability." Sankaku explained.
"So what's its ability?" Kiba asked.
"When it's flipped, it can destroy one monster on the field." Sankaku explained.
"No!" Kiba gasped.
"Yes, now I destroy your Forest Guardian Green Baboon!" Sankaku decided pointing her right index at the green primate. The very old and ugly looking mage appeared and destroyed the baboon with a purple blast from the tip of his staff. "Now this is the true beginning of your end."
Kiba shook his head and smirked. "No its not because I activate my Green Baboon's ability."
"What? You have another one?" Sankaku gasped asking.
"Green Baboon can be summoned from my hand or my graveyard. Also, he's a Beast sub-type monster so…" Kiba's life points fell to 5600 as the green primate reappeared in a defending position (DEF: 1800).
"Your Baboon is still weaker in attack and defence points." Sankaku told Kiba.
"But this time you won't be able to hit my life points." he said.
"You can do it Kiba!" Sora cheered for him on the sidelines.
Kiba nodded and grinned at her. "Of course I can." he replied. "So I end my turn." (3)
Sankaku smiled and drew her cards. "The odds have returned to me. I'm going to win this duel." she told Kiba. She grabbed the card on the left. "I activate Contract of Fulfilment!"
"Oh no…" Sora said under her breath. "Kiba's in trouble now."
"By paying 800 life point I can summon any Ritual monster from my graveyard." Sankaku explained as her life points dropped to 4600. "Now guess which monster I'm bringing back."
"Goddess of Extermination Ruin!" Kiba cried out in panic.
"Bingo." Sankaku replied taking the blue card from her graveyard and onto her Duel Disk. The goddess reappeared with her staff and the same clothes. The strange shadow behind her was still present. "And I have to summon her in attack mode (ATK: 2300)."
"Not good!" Kiba gulped.
"Now Ruin destroy his Wild Horn." Sankaku commanded. The goddess jumped into the air and stabbed the deer humanoid with her staff. Destroying it. "Now she can attack once again, so attack Green Baboon!" The goddess repeated the same attack but this destroying the green primate.
"Oh no! Kiba's wide open!" Sora exclaimed.
"Cosmo Queen attack his life points directly!" she ordered. The monarch of space created the same two orbs from before and commanded them to attack Kiba. They slammed into Kiba's chest and then vanished.
Kiba fell on one knee and panted. His life points dropped dramatically down to 1700! Kiba panted for a few seconds but then stood up. "That was a nice move." he complimented.
'He's still standing?' she wondered. "I end my turn." (1)
Kiba looked down at his deck and his Duel Disk. "Guess I end up in the same position as last time."
"You can do it Kiba." Sora cheered.
'How come she's here and cheering for me… We just met a few minutes ago.' he wonder looking at Sora. He simply nodded and turned his attention back to the duel. "I'm not giving up until the duel is over!"
"We'll see about that." Sankaku snickered.

Ok so the Entrance Exam seems pretty long, I know. So I will try to promise to end this duel in the next chapter.
