Lol now it's time for everyone to fight back, or at least the people in the basement. Hanaski's group are still going after Yako through dueling. They're leading up to the roof. In Yu-Gi-Oh R, Yami does reach Yako by using Slifer the Sky Dragon to bust a hole on the wall (which is badass by the way), though I'd like to try another method that makes more sense. Review please!
Hanaski, Yako, Seto, Tea, and Duke ran down the hallway. While running, Atem stood in midair looking bored out of his mind. Though, who could blame him? He couldn't do anything, besides just watch some duels and fighting. He felt very helpless, so to speak. Atem wished he would wake up in his own body already, so he could beat up Yako for using him as a Guinea Pig.
The gang made it to the door, which would lead up to the roof. Hanaski slid the key card through the security slot door to open the door to the next room. They entered and found two guys guarding the door to the roof. Atem sighed and groaned while covering his face with his full hand. This was like the Paradox Brothers incident all over again, only without twin brothers rhyming off of everything they said.
One guy had short messy black hair, almost black eyes, and slightly pointy ears. He wore a brown shirt with a gray coat over it and black pants. The other guy was tall, had spiky blond hair, blue eyes, and a devious expression on his face. He wore a black shirt with a white jacket over it, blue jeans, and a pair of tennis shoes. Gekko glared intensely as Atem, then snorted a chuckle.
"Look, it's your boyfriends!" Atem smirked as Gekko shot him a nasty glare.
"What the hell are you two doing here?" Gekko asked furiously.
"What do you think, hot shot? We're here for the same reason your brother's here!" the black-haired guy replied.
"You mean to rape me and shove Pegasus up my ass?" Atem asked sarcastically.
"As much as I hate to admit it, Atem has a point. Guys, this is crazy! Yako's not acting like himself! You're risking Atem's life! I know he's a pain in the ass, but Yako's murdering him and you're helping him with the kill!" Gekko glared, trying to get through his friends' heads.
"We made a promise with Yako and we're not breaking that promise," the blond spiky haired guy said. "I'm sorry, Gekko."
"Alright, I call bullshit!" Atem shouted with folded arms. "How about you two assholes give us the real reason you're working for the asshole that wants to use me as Pegasus' new body!"
"Just like Yako, we were very close with Pegasus. We want him back as much as-"
"Double bullshit! Okay, the fagot dies on you, so f***ing what? My dad died and even my boss' parents are dead and you don't see us kidnapping people and using them to do Frankanstine's work! At least with Pegasus, I can understand a bit why he was desperate enough to bring his dead wife back from the dead, maybe even Yako! Even if you both were close to Pegasus, if you really were Yako's true friends, you'd be beating the shit outta him until he got his head together! Better yet, you two should be the ones in Gekko's place, not him! You both are insane! I bet one thousand bucks you boys were being paid to do this or you're not helping him at all!"
"Again... Atem has a huge point," Gekko agreed with a grim look.
"Well, it doesn't matter, now does it? You still have to duel us!" The black-haired guy glared with seriousness in his eyes.
"Guess I'll have to duel this one!" Seto decided as he was about to bring out his duel disk until Hanaski put out his arm in front, showing two glaring eyes and a game face.
"No, I'm taking this one!" Hanaski said.
"Hanaski, you did great with the other duelists, but these two are pros. You might not be able to defeat them!" Gekko told Hanaski.
"I can do this! Yugi and Atem never gave up on me and I don't wanna give up on them and stay on the sidelines!" Hanaski declared.
"Seto, I don't think you've ever seen Hanaski duel. How about we use this time to see his dueling skills?" Atem suggested with a smirk up his lips.
"Interesting," Seto agreed, then gave Hanaski a nod.
"I don't think now is the best time for dueling examinations!" Gekko glared disapprovingly.
"Gekko, kiss my ass," Atem snapped, flipping Gekko off, which made him glare even deeper. "Huh, haven't done that in a while."
"Enjoy it while you can," Seto smirked as Atem gave his friend one back.
"Okay, so which one of you is gonna duel me?" Hanaski asked with a gaming face.
"I'll duel ya!" the black-haired duelist said. "By the way, my name's Scott Depre!" He then, pointed to his spiky blond friend. "And this is my pale Richie Merced!"
"Okay Scott, time for us to duel!" Hanaski said as he and Scott turned on their duel disks. They both drew five cards from their decks and played Rock-Papper-Scissors. Hanaski won, so he went first, drawing his first card. "I summon Elemental Hero Wildheart to the field!" A jungle man appeared on the field carrying an ax on his back appeared on the field in attack mode. "Then, I set one card face-down and that ends my turn!"
"Okay!" Scott said, drawing his next card. "I place one card face-down, then I summon Eva Abductor in attack mode!" A mutant-like creature with a weird-looking helmet, two-toed feet, and three-fingered hands appeared on the field with a sickly looking grin. "I discard one card to activate its effect by controlling Wildheart!"
"Okay, not good!" Duke responded as Elemental HERO Wildheart jumped from Hanaski's field to Scott's field.
"Yeah, especially since Wildheart is not effected by trap cards," Gekko mentioned.
"Co'mon Hanaski, you can do this!" Tea cheered from the sidelines.
"Both your monster and mine attack you directly!" Scott smirked as Elemental HERO Wildheart and Eva Abductor ran up to Hanaski to attack him directly.
"I activate my trap Negate Attack!" Hanaski declared as he revealed his face-down card. Eva Abductor began to pounce on Hanaski until a vortex appeared and bounced him back to Scott's field.
"I suppose I end my turn then."
Hanaski sighed in relief before drawing his next card. He declared, "I fold two cards, then I summon Avian in attack mode!" A green winged warrior appeared boldly in attack mode. "It's your turn!"
"Nice monster! It must be a thing you do to summon weak monsters!" Scott mocked before drawing his next card. "I sacrifice your Wildheart and my Eva to bring out Zeta Reticulant!" A huge mutated creature with mighty armor, razor-sharp teeth, and an alienated figure that could be mistaken to be something out of Alien Versus Predator. "Let's see how you do against this!" Zeta Reticulant began to swish its claws at Elemental HERO Avian until...
"I reveal my first face-down card Polymerization, by combining Avian and Burstinatrix, from my hand, to summon out Flame Wingman!" Hanaski declared as Elemental HERO Avian and Elemental HERO Burstinatrix fused together in the light and appeared as a green and red creature with one arm the shape of a dragon head, another arm the shape of a white wing, and a dragon tail. "I also reveal my other face-down card Elemental Sword and equip it with Flame Wingman to raise its attack by 800 points, as long as the monster he battles is of a different attribute!" A sword appeared in Flamed Wingman's dragoned hand, raising its attack to 2900 attack.
"Clever! Flame Wingman's ability will surely do a great deal of damage to Scott!" Gekko smirked.
"Not bad!" Seto smirked with an impressive look, watching Flame Wingman fly out to destroy Zeta Reticulant.
"I activate my face-down, Interdimensional Matter Transporter! This removes my monster from play until the End Phase!" Scott declared as an alien made cannon appeared and shot a bright beam at Zeta Reticulant and it disappeared from the field, making Flame Wingman's attack a miss.
"That's too bad," Hanaski said, seemingly disappointed. "I wanted to catch Flame Wingman's special ability. I rarely ever get to summon him!"
"And you might not have a chance," Scott smirked as he activated his field spell. "I activate Cosmic Space!" The whole field turned into the galaxy milky way, filled with blackness and stars. "With this, each of our monsters are given life star counters, equal to their levels. One star counter is taken away once per turn. Your Flamed Wingman is a level 6, which means he has six star counters. After this turn, he will have five. When all your monster's star counters are gone, they're instantly destroyed. You get the idea?"
"I got it," Hanaski replied, feeling slightly nervous.
"Good, I place one card face-down and end my turn," Scott declared and Hanaski's monster lost a star counter. Zeta Reticulant also returned to the field.
"Alright!" Hanaski responded before drawing his next card. "I play pot of greed by drawing two cards!" He drew two cards from his deck to his hand. "Now, I place two cards face-down, then I summon Shadow Mist in defense mode!" A woman with black hair spiked out in the opposite direction she was facing in a black armored dress appeared in a defensive position. "Then, Flame Wingman attacks your Zeta!" Flame Wingman flew out at Zeta Reticulant, about to take it apart.
"I play my trap card, Anti-Fusion Device! This destroys one face-up fusion monster on the field!" Scott declared as Hanaski gasped and watched his Flame Wingman burst from the field. "Now, all you can do is summon more of your small fries!"
"I... guess I end my turn," Hanaski muttered quietly.
"I summon Lyra!" Scott declared as a mirror-like creature appeared on the field, showing a glowing light in the middle of the mirror. "Now, I will have my Zeta attack your Shadow Mist!" Zeta Reticulant began swinging its claws to attack Elemental HERO Shadow Mist and burst it from the field.
"I activate Comic Book!" Hanaski declared as he revealed his face-down spell card.
"Wait what?" Atem responded with widened eyes.
"I think Dad was in way over his head when making that card," Gekko admitted.
A huge comic book appeared on the field, making Scott glare even deeper. Elemental HERO Shadow Mist was sucked inside the comic book, but not before sticking out its tongue and pulling down its left eyelid. Hanaski's smirk grew very wide, knowing the effect very well.
"What happens is that I can choose up to two of my Elemental Heros to place inside my Comic Book. In other words, they're removed from play until I decide to let them out at anytime, even during Battle Phase. If I ever let them out during Battle Phase, after they attack, I can choose to place them back in during the second main phase!" Hanaski smirked.
"You're right, Pegasus was in way over his head," Atem agreed.
"Also, because my Elemental Heros are inside my Comic Book, they're not effected by Cosmic Space," Hanaski smirked. "I also place an Elemental Hero inside my Comic Book!" He placed one of his Elemental Hero monsters from play, into Comic Book.
"I end my turn!" Scott muttered darkly, not liking the fact Hanaski played Comic Book.
"Okay!" Hanaski declared, drawing his next card. "I sacrifice one monster inside my Comic Book to summon out Necroshade!" Hanaski's Elemental HERO monster disappeared from Comic Book and a huge red monster with green armor and sharp claws appeared on the field.
"Ha, you call that a monster?" Scott mocked as Hanaski kept his game face.
"Why the hell did Hanaski summon that weak monster? I know he's new at this, but I didn't think he was stupid!" Duke glared critically.
"Zeta is on its last counter for one thing and I think Hanaski's up to something," Atem thought in his mind.
"This should be interesting," Seto said without any emotion.
"I place Necroshade in defense mode and end my turn!" Hanaski declared and one star counter disappeared from each monster, including Zeta Reticulant's last star counter. Zeta Reticulant disappeared from the field, being sent to the graveyard, and was replaced with two Eva Tokens, that looked like two white miniature versions of the aliens from Alien Versus Predator.
"Wait, was Alien Versus Predator around when that card was made?" Duke asked.
"I... don't know. It came around 1999, so I guess that movie was around when that card was made," Gekko said.
"That explains everything!"
"I sacrifice two of my Eva Tokens to bring out my Greed Quasar!" Scott declared as his two Eva Tokens disappeared from the field and were replaced by a monster with a skull for a body, two skeleton arms, and a pointy head. "His attack points are equal to the number of star counters times 300! In other words, he has 2100 attack!"
"Not good!" Duke responded with widened eyes.
"I activate Lyra's special ability by giving Greed Quasar two of its remaining star counters!" Scott declared as Lyra the Giver gave Greed Quasar two of its remaining star counters. Lyra the Giver disappeared and was sent to the graveyard, while Greed Quasar's attack points rose to 2700. "Greed Quasar attacks Necroshade!" Greed Quasar stretched out its arms and grabbed Elemental HERO Necroshade, eating it with its skull mouth on its body. Blood splattered everywhere and its arms were ripped, making Hanaski cringe.
"GROSS!" Tea gagged.
"And due to Greed Quasar's effect, it gains all of Necroshade's star counters!" Scott declared as Greed Quasar's star counters rose to 14, raising its attack to 4200. "No rubbish monster you play is going to penetrate my monster!"
"Looks like it's already been decided who the winner is," Riche smirked, eying at Hanaski, who was fearfully nervous and sweating. "You may've gotten through all the other opponents, but they were all of your level or below. You don't stand a chance against pros, kid! You're way out of your league!"
Hanaski stared at the cards on his duel disk and hand nervously, then at the monster on Scott's field. It did seem like this was an instant victory for Scott. His monster had 4200 attack and one blow could wipe out the rest of Hanaski's life points. Hanaski sighed while slowly closing his eyes. Was there really any way to defeat Scott? He was a pro! How could there be any way for Hanaski to defeat a pro?
"If you want to, I will give you the choice to let Mr. Kaiba take over. I'm getting rather bored of dueling you anyways. I need a real challenge and all you're doing is weighing me down! Maybe he can show you how to really duel like a pro!" Scott smirked as Hanaski looked up with a defeated look on his face. He was about to speak until...
"Don't underestimate him!" Seto said aloud as Hanaski turned around in pure shock, mouth slightly gaped. Seto showed a more confident look with a slight smirk. "Hanaski doesn't need my help to defeat you!"
"You're serious right?" Richie asked sarcastically.
"You really think Hanaski has a chance?" Duke asked with glaring eyes.
"I know! Believe it or not, this guy's got this in the bags! If Hanaski seriously needed my help, I would've offered it a long time ago, but from what I can see, it's you that's about to be crushed!" Seto said critically as Scott glared at him deeply. Seto looked directly at Hanaski. "You already know your strategy on how to defeat this loser, so show me the strength you possess!"
"You can do it, Hanaski! You're strong in more ways than one!" Atem cheered with a soft smile.
"I am?" Hanaski asked dumbfounded.
"Hanaski, you saved me and Olivia from a street gang and you were strong enough to fight off Marik's control before Joey did!"
"Because Yugi helped me!"
"Because you're strong! You don't have to be strong in strength," Atem explained as Hanaski looked at the cards on his duel disk. "Sometimes true strength comes from the mind."
Hanaski closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He, then opened them and showed a huge smile and a nod. He turned to face Scott with a more confident face and said, "okay Scott, I'm dueling you and I'm going to defeat you with everything I've got, so LOOK OUT!"
