Demon Wars

Chapter 2 – Demon duelling

Yugi, Tea and the demon hybrid Blaze Inferno climbed out of the taxi near the slum area. Blaze gave the driver the necessary amount of yen and paused to catch his bearings.

'We need to go left here and forward for about ten minutes, that'll take us to Midnight's hideout.' Said Blaze pulling his red hood back over and obscuring his face, making him look even more mysterious than ever.

They followed him along the tight alleyways of the slum areas, several punks gave them hard looks and cracked their knuckles, but when they saw Blaze, their faces turned pasty and they scarpered.

'Wimps…' muttered Blaze, motioning Yugi and Tea to hurry up, suddenly they saw several demons appear behind them and in front of them. They were at least 8ft tall and covered in grey-green slimy scales and burning golden eyes. They had reptilian faces and long nailed claws.

'Oh shit…' muttered Blaze, taking an adder stinger from his belt. 'So who wants to die first?' he asked the demons in an intimidating voice.

'Now, now Blazey is that any way to treat old friends?' asked a sickenly sweet voice that sounded a great deal like Rebecca Hawkins's voice.

'Not her…' muttered Blaze, his face paling slightly and he gripped his adder stinger so hard that his hand began to bleed.

From behind one of the demons a young demon girl stepped out. She looked almost human except that she had pointed ears, a cat like tail and bat like wins sprouting from her back.

She appeared to be about 15 years old, had dark blue eyes and had waist length red hair. She was wearing a black version of the sailor moon outfit.

'Not you again…' muttered Blaze 'I thought I finally got rid of you in Denmark.

'Oh Blazey, don't be silly, you know you like me.' Said the demon girl with her sickeningly sweet voice, Blaze's face darkened at the pet name she called him by.

'Alright May what do you want?' asked Blaze

'You know why I'm here, remember the bet we made, I beat you in a duel then you go out with me for one year, remember?' said May, grinning like a loon.

'So she wants to duel you?' asked Tea

'And it seems that she has a thing for you…' grinned Yugi

'What if I win?' he asked May

'If you win my friends here won't tear your two friends to pieces' said May, dropping her sweet manner and putting on a KC duel disk.

'Let's duel!'

'Alright…I'll duel you' sighed Blaze, pulling out a KC duel disk and his deck.

'Time to duel!' The two duellists shuffled their decks and activated the duel disks

May: 8000pts

Blaze: 8000pts

'Ready Blazey! I summon my Kaiser Sea Horse in ATK mode…

(ATK: 1750 DEF: 1600)

Next I'll set two cards face down' said May as she made her move, her cards appeared in holographic form in front of her.

'I set one card face down and then I'll summon my Crimson Swordsman#2 to the field in DEF mode…'

(ATK: 1200 DEF: 2000)

A feeble old swordsman appeared on the field in a slouching position; he was at least 80 years old and held a small pitted dagger in one hand.

'I'll end my turn here.' Stated Blaze

'That's all darling? Looks like you'll be my boy friend sooner than I thought…Now I'll sacrifice my Kaiser Sea horse; which triggers its effect allowing me to treat it a 2 sacrifices. Now I summon…Blue eyes white dragon!'

(ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500)

The enormous white dragon appeared onto the field with a beat of its wings and a thunderous roar

'No way! But only Kaiba has Blue eyes in his deck!' exclaimed Yugi, from the sidelines.

May turned her attention to Yugi and said 'That's where you're wrong Yugi, in the demon world the Blue eyes isn't especially rare…'

'Now where was I? Right destroying you! Now Blue eyes white dragon White lightning attack!' exclaimed May as her dragon engulfed Blaze's side of the field with energy. When the smoke cleared Blaze was on one knee and his clothing was giving off smoke.

May: 8000pts

Blaze: 7500pts

'By giving up 500pts I can keep my monster in play…' muttered Blaze, pushing himself up. May looked pissed off, but then her sweet demeanour returned.

'Not bad Blazey…But this duel is far from done…I set one card face down and that's all' said May sweetly.

'About time! It's my move, I'll start things off by activating this magic card…Time travel transformation; this allows me to turn back time and replace my old warrior with his past self…So give it up for my Crimson Swordsman#1 in ATK mode!

(ATK: 2500 DEF: 2200)

The old swordsman exploded in a burst of light and in his place was a tall man dressed in sparkling red armour and carrying a huge broadsword, and he wore rubies in a chain around his neck.

'Now I'll activate another magic card called…Fighting spirit; this card increases my monsters ATK by 800 for a single turn...

(ATK: 3300 DEF: 2200)

'Now Crimson Swordsman#1 attack Blue eyes white dragon with Inferno slash!' commanded Blaze, the swordsman nodded briefly then charged at the dragon and swiftly ran it through. Blue eyes gave a deafening scream and exploded into nothingness.

May: 7700pts

Blaze: 7500pts

'Now I activate my monster's effect, I can summon any warrior monster from my hand to the field and I choose Marauding Captain in ATK mode.'

(ATK: 1200 DEF: 600)

'And thanks to my monster's effect he allows me to summon another monster and I choose my Lord poison in ATK mode.'

(ATK: 1800 DEF: 1000)

'To finish my turn I'll lay one card faced down, you're move May!' said Blaze as he summoned an armoured warrior and a blue skinned alien like creature to the field. Unfortunately Mark's strongest monster's ATK reduced back to its original strength.

(ATK: 2500 DEF: 2200)

'Grr…Fine, but I'll still win! Now I'll activate Marionette Contest; this magic card allows me to special summon my Marionette fighter – Lynx in ATK mode!' stated May as she summoned a breath takingly beautiful woman, with long blue hair and dressed in tight fitting armour.

(ATK: 3000pts DEF: 0pts)

'Now Lynx attack Marauding captain with terra strike!' commanded May. Lynx gave a smirk at Blaze then leapt into the air and slashed Blaze's monster across the chest, destroying it instantly.

May: 7300pts

Blaze: 5700pts

'Next I'll activate another Marionette Contest; allowing me to summon another of my Marionette monster's and I choose this…Marionette Shooter – Panther in ATK mode!'

(ATK: 2500 DEF: 2200)

Another breath takingly beautiful female monster appeared; she had the same face as the first Marionette, but had blond hair and was dressed in a cow girl outfit and held a shot gun in her hands.

'I'll end my turn here darling, soon I'll win. You'll never defeat my Marionette monsters.' Said May with the same sickenly sweet voice and a faint smirk appeared on her face.

'Not bad kid…But not good enough, I'll sacrifice my two monsters to summon my good buddy…Demon Guardian Naruto in DEF mode' said Blaze

(ATK: 1000 DEF: 4000)

Blaze's two creatures vanished in a pool of brilliant white light and out of it stepped a dark haired individual dressed in brown travelling clothes and carrying a slimly build Katana in a sheath on his back.

'Now I activate my monster's special ability; allowing me to special summon three Demon Tokens in DEF mode' added Blaze

3X (ATK: 0pts DEF: 1200pts)

Naruto raised his hands and uttered a brief prayer and three black furry creatures with angel wings appeared.

'And I'll set two cards face down and end my turn.' finished Blaze

May: 7300pts

Blaze: 5700pts

May stood there for a moment, her eyes downcast.

'It's time for you to meet my ultimate creature…Now I'll sacrifice all of my monsters to summon this…Marionette Goddess – Tiger!' exclaimed May

(ATK: 3000 DEF: 3000)

The ground began to shake violently, Yugi, Tea and several of the demons stumbled and nearby buildings shook. Out of the ground appeared a shadowy spectre, it pulled the two Marionettes into the earth. And a burst of red light followed, out of the light stepped an impossibly beautiful red haired lady dressed in a red robe and hood and held a long dagger in each hand.

'Now Tiger activate your special ability; allowing me to attack you directly, as long as I give up 2000 life points and discard one card from my hand. Tiger attack Blaze directly with divine daggers!' yelled May

Tiger leapt into the air and slashed Blaze twice and then kicked him solidly in the chest in a single motion and leapt back to May's side of the field. Blaze was knocked onto his back from the attack. He looked at his duel disk, or more specifically his life point counter which had dwindled alarmingly.

May: 5300pts

Blaze: 2700pts

'…Not bad May, but by causing me to lose 1000 or more of my points you've activated my Demon Guardian Naruto second effect, now I can trade in my Demon Tokens for any three monsters from my deck to the field…So let's give it up for these bad boys!' stated Blaze slapping three monster cards onto his duel disk.

'Panic the breaker!'

(ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000)

'Peace the destroyer!'

(ATK: 2450 DEF: 2100)

'And my favourite monster…Dark Magician girl!

(ATK: 2000 DEF: 1600)

The three monsters appeared to the field; Dark magician girl flew out of the card, gave a cute pose and gave her customary wink. The other two monsters Panic and Pease were a strange pair.

Panic the breaker was a short emaciated old man dressed in a cowed grey robe and leaned heavily upon a thorny staff. Pease the destroyer was a young man about 20 or so with snow white hair and an innocent expression on his face and dressed in a white cowed robed and carried a metal staff in his right hand.

Blaze pressed a button on his duel disk and a magic card revealed itself, it was Ecto-Plasma!

'Now I'll activate my Ecto-Plasma magic card; it allows me to sacrifice my monsters and deal out half of their ATK points from your life points!' laughed Blaze.

'First I sacrifice my Pease the destroyer and Panic the breaker!' the monsters gave a shudder and collapsed to the floor and out of them flew a haze which entered the magic card.

'Ecto-Plasma fire!' ordered Blaze, a beam of pure energy erupted from the card and struck May in the chest knocking her back several feet.

May: 2825pts

Blaze: 2700pts

'Even if you sacrifice your other monsters it won't be enough to bring me down to zero…' growled May, pushing herself up. 'I will win and you'll be my boyfriend' she said determinedly.

'Not a chance!' Retorted Blaze 'I'll never go out with an annoying little brat like you! Now to finish this…I activate Mega-morph, which doubles my Dark magician girl's ATK power and then I'll add Princess Tiara for another 800 ATK points to my monster, as long as I destroy every other monster on my side of the field.

(ATK: 4800 DEF: 1600)

'Now Ecto-Plasma absorb my Dark magician Girl's essence and fire!' commanded Blaze. A huge beam of energy erupted from the magic card and knocked May into the other demons and her life points hit zero.

May: 0pts

Blaze: 2700pts

'Nnnnoooo! I lost again!' wailed May, one of the demons picked up May and they vanished into a green coloured portal.

'Next time I'll win and you will be mine!' yelled May as she vanished into the portal.

Blaze fell onto one knee and Yugi and Tea rushed over and helped him up.

'Thanks…' he muttered 'Now let's get going to see Midnight, were late enough all ready thanks to that demoness bitch' said Blaze

'Ok let's go!' said Tea shifting part of the bandage that had begun to itch.

'Alright, Midnight's place is just down the end of this alleyway'

The two teens followed Blaze down the alleyway towards the docks and warehouses where deep underneath is the domain of the demon lord Midnight and where Yugi and Tea's fates will be decided. Are they demon descendents or will their story end before it has even begun?

(Well there you have it the first duel in my fanfic and another chapter completed)

Nexus jumps into the air and begins to whoop and cry for joy, till he noticed that Blaze was watching him with one eye brow raised inquiringly

Blaze: Dude…You're weird…

Blaze walks off back into the story while Nexus fumes and swears angrily.
