Chapter 14: Sasuke vs. Blaze and Jordan vs. T-Bone
Blaze and Sasuke drew five cards from their decks, after their life point meter went up to 4000 LP, "I'll start!" Blaze drew his sixth card and added to his hand. He pulls out another one, "I activate the spell card, Fiend Sanctuary! Now I get fiend token!" A small, puppet-like metal creature appeared on Blaze's field. (Atk: 0000), "And now, Sasuke, I'll sacrifice my token to summon forth Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch (Atk: 2400)!"
The token vanished and was replaced by a huge armored giant behind Blaze, "And get this," Blaze smirked, "whenever this guy's summoned, I get to send one of your cards from your hand to the grave, randomly."
Sasuke gritted his teeth, "Now I choose the card in the far left," Blaze pointing at Sasuke's card, which happened to be his Red-Eyes Black Dragon and he showed it to Blaze, "My Red-Eyes!"
"It gets worse for Sasuke," Bastion said.
"That's right," Atticus said, "Thanks to Thestalos out there, if the card that Blaze happened to be a monster card, Sasuke gets hit 100 points of damage equal to the number of stars of the monster card."
"And thanks 700 points!" Keiko said.
"That's right," Blaze pointed at Sasuke, "Thestalos, blast him for 700 points!"
Thestalos forms a fire ball and throws it at Sasuke. The Uchiha screams as his Life Points decreased (S: 4000) – (S: 3300).
"Sasuke!" Sakura and Naruto cried
Blaze chuckled, "This duel won't last, along, kid," he laughed, "count on it!"
Sasuke drew his card and looked at it, then smirked, "I couldn't agree with anymore," he said, which surprised Blaze, "I activate the spell card, Lightning Vortex, by discarding a card from my hand, I can destroy every monster on your side of the field." Sasuke sends a card from his hand to the grave slot.
"No!" Blaze yelled as the sky above them turned dark and a vortex of lighting opened, raining lighting strikes down across the field, destroying Thestalos.
"I'm not done, yet," Sasuke said, "Next, I'll play Monster Reborn to summon forth my Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
In a blaze of dark fire, a black dragon rose from the ground and glared his crimson eyes at Blaze, "Then, I'll Premature Burial! I'll pay 800 Life Points (S: 3300) – (S: 2500) to summon forth White Horn Dragon (Atk: 2200)!"
A dragon with a white horn on his head appeared and roared, "Next, I'll activate the special ability of White Horn Dragon, it gains 300 attack points for every spell card in my graveyard! Since I have both Monster Reborn and Lightning Vortex in my graveyard, my dragon gains 600 points!"
The dragon roared as it became more powerful (Atk: 2200) – (Atk: 2800), "Now, my dragons attack!" Sasuke declared, raising his fists and his two dragon blasts their attacks at Blaze. As he is hit, Blaze screams as his Life Points went down (Atk: 4000) – (Atk: 0000) and fell on his knees.
"Alright, Sasuke!" Sakura cheered.
"What…" Alexis murmured, "That quick! He defeated someone from the Light Brigade."
Blaze looked to see T-Bone, towering over him with a displeasing look on his face, "Yo! Wasup with that, yo!" he asked, "You let yourself punk'd by a school boy! Whateva!" he turned his gaze at Jordan, "Yo! J-man, let's go! You end up losin' you have to join your 'cuz in the Society of Light, yo!"
"What?" Yusuke snarled.
"That's crazy!" Kari said.
Alexis's shock turned to a smile, 'When Jordan loses this duel, then he'll be with me, in the Society of Light.' She thought
"Let's do dis, yo!" T-Bone said
Just then, a bright purple light appeared above, which got everyone's attention, and a mirror appeared.
"What the hell's that?" Atticus asked.
Blaze screamed as he was consumed by the mirror, "My homie!" T-Bone yelled as a card flew into his card, "Your partner should prove to be useful, don't disappoint me or you'll be ended up like the others."
"Who's that?" Ryoko asked, "Is she the one who kidnapped Syrus and Hassleberry!? Did you help!?!"
"Maybe, I did?" T-Bone activates his disc and the same as Jordan, "Kick it, dawg! T-Bone is in da house, yo!" (T: 4000/J: 4000), "Ready, look out!" T-Bone draws his card and looked at it, "I be callin' Mine Golem (Atk: 1000) in attack mode!" A huge monster appears in front of T-Bone, "Feel dat! I also be layin' out a Spell Card! Guidance to Oar!"
A huge boulder with a huge appears behind T-Bone, "What's that?" Jaden asked.
Bastion narrowed his eyes, "A deadly combo," he replies.
"Last, I'll be layin' down a couple of facedowns." T-Bone's cards appeared behind his monsters.
"Is that all you got? Sit back and watch how's it done!" Jordan sneered.
"I ain't trying to hear dat, C," T-Bone spat
Jordan gritted his teeth, "Let's see if you can hear this, 'kay, T-Bone," he draws a card from his Deck, "This should do, I summon my Drillago (Atk: 1600)!"
A drill covered monster appears in front, "Take out his Mine Golem!" Jordan declared, while knowing about Mine Golem's effect, but he had to take out his monster. Drillago rockets towards Mine Golem, while swirling his drills, destroying it.
T-Bone blocked the impact with his arms as his Life Points decreased (T: 4000) – (T: 3400). He glares at Jordan, as Drillago returned to its owner's side of the field, "My boy ain't gonna split, yet! Not without a fight, 'cuz when my Golem hits the Graveyard, you get smoked for 500!"
The smoke blew towards Jordan and the blonde Rhodes covered his face as his points decreases as well (J: 4000) – (J: 3500).
"You think that's fly," T-Bone started, "Then, check out my Guidance to Oar! Now when my rock homeboys gets crushed, I get the same playa for my Deck, yo!"
Another Mine Golem appears, in front of T-Bone (Atk: 1000), "Now, eyes on my Trap Card, Minefield Eruption! This bad boy takes you out by 1000 points for every Mine Golem I got! After that, I lose my Golem, but it's all worth it, dawg!"
Before Jordan realized it, the ground he was on rose to a blaze and he screams as his points decreased further (J: 3500) – (J: 2500), Then, Mine Golem is destroy, "Rewind and replay! 'Cuz, thanks to Guidance to Oar, it brings back my Golem!" Another Mine Golem appears on the field, "Dig it, chump! 'Cuz you ain't going home!"
"Jordan!" Jade wailed, at the sight of her friend being beat.
" 'lright, Homes, let's do dis," T-Bone draws his card from his Deck, "I be playin' Pot of Greed! Check it out! I get to draw two cards! Then, I'll kick Golem to the curve! Yes, Yes, y'all! Give it up for Granmarg the Rock Monarch (Atk: 2400) takin' center stage to bust some moves!" in a blaze of light and a golden golem is rooted out of the ground, "But first, check out Marg's special ability, yo! I get to blow one of your facedown cards right off the field!"
"Yeah, but, I don't have any facedown cards, T-Bone," Jordan said, "That means that you lose one of your own cards!"
T-Bone chuckled, "That was my plan, all along!" he sneered. Granmarg slams his huge fist onto his owner's facedown card, "It's Dormant Volcano, when it blows, you take the hit and lose 300 points! That's right, Dawg! This card's the bomb, literately!"
The blaze of red light erodes from beneath Jordan and his points decreased (J: 2500) – (J: 2200).
Just then, Aster walks out of his trailer to see the duel.
"By the way, my volcano has another phat ability, durin' the next standby phase, we both gets to add a fire monstea to our hands! But first, the Rock's comin' it real, so look out!" T-Bone hollered as his golem smashes his fist to Drillago, destroying it. Jordan feels the wind blows as his points decreased further (J: 2200) – (J: 1400), "I'm out, it's your turn, Jellyroll, so step out!"
"This would be a really fun duel, bro," Jordan said and glared at T-Bone, "But you Society freaks kidnapped my friends!"
"This duel ain't about your friends," T-Bone told him, "If I don't get mad props right now…" T-Bone closed his eyes, "…then it's done, this duel's 'bout survival."
"What do you mean?"
"Think, Dawg!" T-Bone snapped, "I'm talkin' 'bout my powea! If I don't win, Serena is gonna take it away, yo!"
Jordan grins, "Well, just trust yourself, that's something no one can take away," he said, while T-Bone grinned as well.
"On with the duel, ready," Jordan draws his card, "First, I'll play Pot of Greed, now I'll be drawing two cards from my deck! Then, I'll play a facedown and play two copies of Fiend Sanctuary, now I two metal tokens. Now, I'll sacrifice them to summon Barrel Dragon (Atk: 2600)!"
"Oh man!" T-Bone wailed
"I'm afraid so, I activate Barrel Dragon's special ability!" Jordan paused as a hologram of a coin appeared, "If this coin is tossed and it comes up Heads 2 outta 3 times, I get to destroy a monster on your side of the field."
The coin flipped into the air and hit the sand. Tails.
The coin flipped into the air again, then hit the sand once more. Tails.
For the last time, the coin flipped into the air and landed in the sand. Tails.
"It looks like you won't be able to active your monstea's special ability, Homes!" T-Bone told him, "Tough break!"
"I still have my dragon's attack!" Jordan retorted, "But first, I'll equip him with Axe of Despair to increase his strength by 1000 points (Atk: 2600) – (Atk: 3600) Destroy his Granmarg!"
Barrel Dragon blasts its triple blasts at Granmarg, destroying it and dropping T-Bone's Life Points (T: 3400) – (T: 3200), "Yo, you forgot about my spell card, get up in here, Granmarg!"
The golden golem appeared in front of T-Bone (Atk: 2400), "Guess what, 'cuz, my move!" T-Bone draws his card, "Check it out! 'member my volcano! Now we search our decks, you know for a fire monster, then we'll kick to the field!"
The two duelists pull out their decks and searched for a fire monster card. As T-Bone searched for his, he spotted Blaze's Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch card and pulls it out, "Well, I've got mine!" T-Bone said, showing the card and placing his deck into his disc.
"And I picked this one," Jordan said, showing his Cyber Phoenix card.
"What's he gonna do with Lightning Crash, besides crash and burn?" T-Bone slids the card into his disc and pulls out his deck, again and takes out Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, "Know why? 'cuz, I get to pick whatever Thunder monster I want from my deck and into my hand! Then, I'll lay this down," He slids a card into his disc and appeared on the field, "and sacrifice my Granmarg…" Granmarg disappears, "but don't worry, he's comin' back!" Granmarg appears on the field, again.
'He just activated Granmarg's special ability,' Aster thought.
"I can destroy a trap card, like my Daunjing Point," T-Bone's golem hits his master's facedown card, "And now its special effect kicks in, so I can take a monster from my deck and add it to my hand!" he takes out from his deck Mobius the Frost Monarch.
"Pretty impressive," Jordan commented.
"Yeah, well you don't know the half of it, Homes," T-Bone told him, "you see all my peeps are waiting and ready and bring on the hurt!"
"Alright, then bring it!"
"For sure, it starts with this, my Shadow Moon spell! First, I check my field and then I check my hand. If I happen to have four different monster with four different attributes, then we in business, boy! 'cause I can dis them all to play mad powerful spell! That's right, I'm gonna plaster my crib with Blue Moon!"
The skies begun to darken and swirl around, "So, I can sacrifice Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, Mobius the Frost Monarch, Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch and the posey's legit with Granmarg! Thanks to Blue Moon, they combine together! Now give it up, as the original gangstea monstea takes the stage!"
The scene appeared to be in a base of a mountain, "Put your hands together for MC Demiurge Ema (Atk: 3300)!"
In bright light, a figure in golden armor, with steal wings appears in the air, "Not bad." Jordan commented.
"True dat, Homes!" T-Bone said, as his monster landed behind him, "Plus, Blue Moon takes a card from each side of the field and transforms them. That's right, they get tricked out to homunculus tokens (Def: 0800)!"
T-Bone's Oar card appeared and a homunculus token appeared, "My Axe of Despair!" Jordan wailed as his monster's axe disappeared and got weaker (Atk: 3600) – (Atk: 2600). Another homunculus token appeared, but this time it was on Jordan's side of the field, "Yikes."
"Now check it out, 'cause this next part is off the hook! See for every homunculus token that's chillin' on the field, my boy Demiurge gains 800 attack points (Atk: 3300) – (Atk: 4900). More than enough to take you out! Kick it, Big D.!"
Demiurge Ema jumps up to attack.
"I activate my trap card, Waboku," Jordan's facedown card flips open, "Now my monster's and life points are safe!"
Demiurge Ema lands back down, "Go ahead, but next time it's peace out forevea!" T-Bone said, "Don't you get it, J-Dawg! I ain't some chump! I've been given the power to duel anyone, yo!"
"Don't you want to duel with your own power?" Jordan asked, with a frown, "Otherwise, what's the point?"
T-Bone took a step back in shock realizing what Jordan said, "You'll never know how good you really are! Dueling's about thinking on your feet and trusting yourself." Jordan explained, "But when you start relying on someone else to help you win, well guess what forget the scoreboard, you've already lost. Whenever, I duel is for real, T-Bone!"
Mr. Muto gasped in surprise, 'That's something Yugi would say,' he thought, looking at Jordan.
"Enough talk, watch this," Jordan said, drawing a card and looked at in shock.
Flashback
"Jordan?"
The weeping nine-year-old boy looked up to see his eleven-year-old older cousin, towering over him, "What's wrong?" Alexis asked, with a hint of concern
Jordan wiped away his tears, "Nothing Asuka," he sniffed.
Alexis sat down near her cousin and placed her arm around him, then pulled him close to him, "You know that you can always tell me anything," she whispered, in his ear, "Is Jake spending more time with that witch, Rona, again than with you?" she asked, with venom.
Jordan nodded, in reply, "Teenagers are really weird in many ways than one," he said.
Alexis giggled slightly, "Hey, I've got something for you," she said, getting out from her pocket a Duel Monsters card and gave it to Jordan, "It's something that I got when I went to the card shop with my mom and Atty. I knew that you run a machine deck, Jordy. So I got this for you."
Jordan brought a smile on his face and hugged his cousin with all his might, "Thank you, onee-chan!" he said and peeked Alexis's cheek.
End Flashback
Jordan smiled, remember the day that Alexis gave the card that he was holding and grimaced what he did to her, while in a demon state.
Flashback
"Okay, you mutts!" Jordan snapped his fingers, "You're chew toys are all there! You may either chew on them, but can't kill them," He pointed at the white students, who were cringing in fear.
The white students gasped in fear. Alexis couldn't believe what she's hearing, "However, leave this one…" Jordan pointed at Alexis, "…standing and breathing, we got a bone to pick with her!"
"What!" Alexis yelled, "Jordan Walter Rhodes, what in the hell do you think you're doing!?!"
"Something that's called payback! And it's a bitch! Attack!" Jordan ordered as the dogs went for the attack. The dogs had the students surrounded and circled and closing in.
"Go get them!" Jordan called out, as the dogs charged at the white students.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Either move or get ran over," Jordan sneered, "You're choice."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Come on, Tool," Jordan taunted, walking towards the fallen blonde, "Why don't you scream!?!" He kicked Alexis's ribs, hard, making his cousin turn over many times and landed on her back. She turned over and sat up, holding her aching ribs and panting from her abuse, "You…you're…" she looked at Jordan's piercing red eyes, "You're not Jordan. Not my Jordan at all!"
That remark got her a kick in the face, "I'm no one's property, bitch!" Jordan spat.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Jordan grabbed Alexis by the throat and pulls her up, "And to think that I once looked up and respected you in the past," he snarled, enclosing his grip, "Well, not anymore, ever since you abandoned me for this trash you call a club, I was saddened by that, but now all I see you is TRASH!"
Jordan threw Alexis back to the ground onto her back. Alexis opened her right eye to Jordan's red eyes, "You're not Jor…"
"Shut up!" Jordan stomped onto Alexis's shoulder hard, making his cousin cry.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Who wants to get the finishing blow?" Mindy asked.
"Hey Jordan, why don't you have it?" Keiko suggested.
Jordan cracked his knuckles, while chuckling, "No problem," he said, walking towards the battered Alexis and stepped onto her back, "Spirit Sword!" Jordan's hand glowed orange and it took form of a sword.
Jordan placed a firm grip and looked at Alexis's limp form, "Decapitation," he said, "I couldn't have asked for a better way of killing a traitor." He lifted his weapon up in the air.
End Flashback
Jordan was stuck with two opinions, if he plays that that Alexis had given him, then he won't fill anything that he almost tried to kill Alexis. If he didn't win, he'll be brainwashed like Alexis and join the Society of Light. Jordan couldn't care less what he did to Chazz, but what he did to Alexis was a different story. Even though she was brainwashed, she's still his cousin, he still loved her and wanted to free her from SOL grip. He hasn't forgiven Chazz for brainwashing her in the first place, even though he was brainwashed himself.
"Yo, what's the hold up, J-Dawg!" T-Bone yelled, "Ya makin' a move or not!"
"What's taking Jordan so long to do something?" Yusuke asked.
"He's just spacing out," Hiei said.
Alexis stared at the duel hard and wondered what's going on. She realized that anytime that Jordan takes this long is that he knows that he can't win. She grinned, knowing that Jordan would lose and join the Society of Light with her. If she was giving the powers to read her cousin's minds, she'll know how wrong she was.
"It's over," Atticus said, in a solemn tone.
Yusuke and Jaden looked at the eldest Rhodes sibling with baffled looks, "What the hell are you saying?" Yusuke asked.
"Anytime that Jordan takes this long to make a move, he knows that he can't win," Atticus said.
"That's crazy," Jaden said and turned to the duel.
'No, you fools,' Hiei thought, 'It's not he can't play anything. The boy's wondering if he should play the card, he's holding. He's still shell shocked on what he did to the blonde onna, earlier.' Hiei narrowed, "Boy!"
Jordan looked at Hiei, "What are you doing, you fool?!" he snarled, "If you some much hold back, I'll personally kill you, along with that fool of a cousin of yours, that's in that society with this sword!" he threatened pointing at his sword.
Alexis twitched her eyebrows, 'Again with the death threats, I swear,' she thought
Jordan gulped, he wouldn't mind get killed, but Alexis was another story. He knew what to do, "I activate Polymerization to fuse together Barrel Dragon and Blowback Dragon to summon Gatling Dragon (Atk: 2600)!"
The three gunned monster appeared on the field, "Check out its special ability," a holographic coin appeared, "now I flip this coin, three times and if it lands on heads in any of those call, I get to destroy a monster on your side of the field!"
The coin flipped into the air and hit the sand. Tails.
The coin flipped into the air again, then hit the sand once more. Tails.
For the last time, the coin flipped into the air and landed in the sand. Heads.
Jordan smirked, "Say goodbye to Demiurge Ema!" he said as his monster blasts away the golden monster, "Since your Demiurge bit the dust, your tokens are out of here!"
The two tokens were shattered, "Now Gatling Dragon, attack his Life Points directly!" Jordan commanded as Gatling Dragon fires its blasts again and hits T-Bone hard and his Life Points go down to zero. The images had disappeared.
Alexis growled, in annoyance, 'He was so close…' she thought and felt glares at her as she looked to see that both Hiei and Inuyasha were eying her, 'Oh shit, I better leave!' she said as started to run from the camp site and knowing that she can't fight two demons in her condition.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, as Hiei walked towards him, "I picked up her scent when that kid came here," Inuyasha said, glancing at the unconscious Haruka, who was lying onto Kari's lap
"She doesn't know about Jaden's secret that's for sure," Hiei said.
