Hello again & welcome to NGE: Enter the Orichalcos!
Now, before we get started, let me remind you guys that we're still in the middle of this tag-duel, so get ready.
Anyway, here's what happened last time:
Shinji & Big were challenged to a tag-duel by Lumis & Umbra of the Rare Hunters! However, despite a rocky start, Big managed to turn the entire duel around with (Elemental Burst). However, now he faces a direct attack from Grand Tiki Elder with 1500 ATK points. Let's watch on to see what happens next.......
Episode 12: Tag Team Dueling (pt.2)
Grand Tiki Elder (1500 ATK) fired an attack at Big, who currently had 4000 LP, but only had 1 face down card to defend himself. Luckily, Shinji soon shouted "Beta, defend his lifepoints", as Beta the Magnet Warrior (1600 DEF) stood in front of Big to take the blow and remain unscratched while Lumis found his points dimished by 100 more (3100 LP). "ARG" Lumis hissed at himself, as he said "You think you're so smart, do you? Well then, get ready for what's in store. I'll place 2 cards face down & end my turn." 2 cards now appeard in front of Lumis, as his turn ended.
Shinji then drew a card (Alpha the Magnet Warrior), as he said "I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior!" as a new monster appeared on his field. It was yet another robotic monster, but this time with a diamond-like shield in one hand, and a small sword in the other (4-star/1400 ATK). Lumis seemed a bit panicked, as Shinji soon said "Next, I'll switch Beta to ATK mode." as Beta rose to prepare for battle (1700 ATK)! Then, Shinji said "Now Beta, attack!" Beta nodded in agreement, as he charged towards the Grand Tiki Elder and socked him one in the face, destroying him as Lumis lost 200 LP (2900 LP). Then, he added "Now, Alpha, attack Umbra directly!" Now, it was Umbra's turn to panic, as Alpha struck him with his sword, reducing his LP by 1400 (Umbra 2600 LP). Shinji then said "I'll now activate my face down magic card, Card Destruction!" Lumis & Umbra panicked even more, as Big smiled. "According to it's effect" Shinji said, before adding "All of us send our entire hand to the graveyard & draw cards equal to the same amount. From this, Big discarded his Bladedge and Skyscraper & drew 2 card (Monster Reborn & E-Hero Wildheart), while Shinji discarded his Berformet & Beast of Gilfar and drew 2 cards (Valkyrion the Magna Warrior & De-Fusion). Shinji soon said "And now, go face down #2, Card of Sanctity! Thanks to this, we all now draw cards until their are 6 in our hand." Lumis & Umbra did so, as Shinji drew his 4 cards (Mystical Ref Petal, Gamma the Magnet Warrior, Chain Destruction & Dark Magician Girl), while Big did so as well (Polymerization, E-Hero Necroshade, Secret Mission & Miracle Fusion). "Thank you, Shinji!" Big told himself, and then added "Now, it's time for me to repay the favor!" Shinji soon announced "I'll end my turn by placing one card face down" as Umbra drew a card to start his turn while a card appeared in front of Shinji!
Umbra said "Just because you got a lucky shot on the 2 of us, doesn't mean we've lost just yet. Keep in mind that you're partner still has no monsters, yet I still have our most destructive monster yet to come." Shinji seemed a little worried, but Big knew what it was. " He must be talking about Des Gardius! If that thing comes to the field, we're going to have a field day with it." Big told himself, as Umbra suddenly announced "In fact, I think it's time we introduce them to it, right Lumis?" In a responce, Lumis said "Sure, why not? After all, desperate times equals desperate measures!" Big knew instantly what was to come, as Lumis said "I play the magic card, The Chosen One!" Suddenly, a large dredle with a face on one side appeared. Then. Umbra said "Now, according to this card, I choose 3 cards in my hand & set them on the field. Whichever one The Choser picks will be the one played. If it's a monster card, it's instantly summoned. If it's a magic or trap card, then all 3 are sent to the graveyard. " Big & Shinji soon watched as 3 cards were placed around the dredle, as it started to spin., Big & Shinji could only watch on, as it soon stopped at the card in front of Big & Shinji. Umbra soon smiled and said "It's time! The Choser has picked my monster card!" The monster card picked soon revealed itself with slashes to it's cover, as a new, more horrifying monster appeared. It was a large, orange-like creature with large claws and 3 blue heard for it's face. Umbra soon said "Now, I welcome you 2 to our most powerful creature of all time: The Masked Beast Des Gardius!" The monster, Des Gardius, roared at it's opponents (8-star/ 3300 ATK), as Shinji now panicked! "Big, how are we gonna stop that thing?" Shinji asked, as Big replied "I don't know, but I'll tell you when I figure it out myself." Umbra then told them "Before I attack, since Des Gardius was special summoned, I can now normal summon my Rogue Doll in DEF mode." Then, next to Des Gardius appears a strange dool-like object with a large gown and skinny doll-like arms defending itself (4-star/ 1000 DEF), as he now asks himself "Now, who do I attack?" Umbra looks at Shinji first and says "I could attack either one of the boy's Magnet Warriors, and you would lose more then 2000 LP either way." Then, he looks at Big, and says "On the other hand, I could attack you directly Big, and you would be that much closer to defeat." Umbra looks left, then right, as Big suddenly tells Umbra "Hey, Rare Hunter! Don't tell me you're going to sissy out and attack a kid, are you?" Umbra seems upset, as Shinji is unaware to what Big is up to. Then, Big says "In fact, I bet your Des Gardius wouldn't last one turn against me at all." Lumis suddenly tells Umbra "Wait, Umbra, don't do it! He's trying to stop you from attacking the boy!" Umbra, however, not paying attention, says to Big "How dare you mock me! Des Gardius, attack now! Attack the freak directly!" Des Dardius jumped right towards Big, as Shinji soon said "Beta, defend....." Big suddenly looked at Shinji and said "No, Shinji! Not this time!" Shinji could only look on at Big's face, showing a sign of anger, as he soon turned his attention to Des Gardius, who slashed him directly. Des Gardius soon jumped back towards Umbra's side, as Big kneed down in horrible pain while losing 3300 LP. (Big 700 LP).
Umbra soon says "I'll place 1 card face down & end my turn!" as a card appears in front of him. Big soon sighs and draws a card (Hero Dice), as Big smiles and says "The 2 of you have had your fun long enough! Now, it's my turn for some fun of my own and it starts with Monster Reborn! With this card, I can resurrect any monster in the graveyard, and I choose E-Hero Bladedge!" That particular card came out of Big's graveyard, as Big placed it on his field, and Bladedge appeared on the field (7-star/2600 ATK). The 2 Rare Hunters smeared in anger, as Umbra asked "How did that monster even get in the graveyard in the 1st place?" Big replied "Well, my partner previously played Card Destruction, which sent Bladedge into the graveyard in the 1st place. Of course, the best hasn't happened just yet. Next, I activate Polymerization to fuse E-Heroes Wildheart & Necroshade to summon E-Hero Necroid Shaman!" From this, a tan-colored man with a loin-cloth (4-star/1500 ATK), and a red creature with black stripes and claws (5-star/1600 ATK), soon merged together to create a being with a tan-upper body, white pants, a white mask to cover his face, long red hair & a staff (6-star/1900 ATK). Umbra only said 'Nice monster, but it's not powerful enough to defeat my Des Gardius." Big, however, said "I'm not done! My next card is Miracle Fusion! Now, by removing E-Heroes Avian, Burstinatrix, Clayman & Bubbleman in my graveyard from the game, I can fuse their spirits together to summon a new E-Hero!" Now, the 4 E-Hero spirits of those monsters mentioned suddenly become together, as a new E-Hero, a golden hero with an "H" on it's chest, appears on his chest! Big then announced "Come forth, E-Hero Electrum!" With his announcement, Electrum arrives next to Bladedge & Necroid Shaman (10-star/2900 ATK)! However, as both Rare Hunters look on, Umbra suddenly says "Nice collection of monsters, but none of them can defeat us." Umbra's eyes suddenly widen, thinking of what might come next.........
(Dream Sequence)
"Now, I sacrifice my 3 monsters to summon my Egyptian God Card!" At this, E-Heroes Bladedge, Necroid Shaman & Electrum disappeared as a large creature covered in a shadow suddenly appeared. Lumis & Umbra could only stare on in fear, as the Egyptian God attacked......
(End of Dream Sequence)
However, Big soon gave him a wake-up call, shocking Umbra, as he said "There's just one problem with your little dream: I'm not using any of the Egyptian God Cards, but Necroid Shaman's effect is all I need. So, Necroid Shaman's effect now activates. I can send your Des Gardius to the graveyard & summon any other monster in your graveyard to come to the field in it's place." Umbra soon had his mouth opened in complete shock, as a black hole opened under Des Gardius and he soon found himself sucked into the wormhole. Then, Big said "And now, I can choose to resurrect your Shining Abyss!" From that same black hole, Shining Abyss soon re-appeared onto Umbra's field (4-star/1600 ATK), as Big said "And now, the time has finally come! Without your Des Gardius, you can't use his effect to control either one of my monsters! E-Hero Necroid Shaman, attack his Shining Abyss now!" Necroid Shaman nodded, as he pointed his staff at Shining Abyss and fired a dark beam at Shining Abyss, but Lumis suddenly announced "I activate the trap card, Mask of Weakness!" Suddenly, a weird mask appeared and attached itself to Necroid Shaman, as Lumis says "This trap card will weaken your Necroid Shaman by 700 ATK, and by doing so, it will weaken him enough to destroy him." Necroid Shaman then began to weaken (1900 - 700: 1200 ATK), and then Lumis said "And now, I activate Mask of Brutality to increase the power of Shining Abyss!" Suddenly the Mask of Brutality appears, that being Lumis' other set card, as it appeared on the Shining Abyss to make him stronger then ever (1600 + 1000: 2600 ATK). Big, however, only smiled, as Shinji said "You forgot about me, and I activate the trap card, Mystical Ref Petal!" Suddenly, Shinji's card reveals a large mirror with an elf carrying it, as it absorbed the Mask of Brutality, thus returning the Shining Abyss back to it's original 1600 ATK. Then, Shinji announced "This card allows me to stop your magic card from being used, and then I can use it as my own. In this case, I'll equip your Mask of Britality with Big's Necroid Shaman, giving him his power back with interest!" Suddenly, the Mystical Ref Petal fired the Mask of Brutality out of it's mirror and replacing the Mask of Weakness with the Mask of Brutality, as Necroid Shaman gained 1000 ATK (1200 + 1000: 2200 ATK!) Big finally said "Now go, Necroid Shaman! ATTACK!" Necroid Shaman fired at Shining Abyss and destroyed it, as Umbra screamed in pain & lost 600 LP.
Umbra: 2000 LP
Big then said "And now, Electrum, attack his Rogue Doll!" Electrum charged towards Rogue Doll, as Umbra soon shouted "I activate the Mask of Impregnability!" Soon, a large mask with the palms of a giant hand appeared in front of the Rogue Doll, stopping Electrum's attack, as Umbra said "Thanks to this card, your attack has been stopped!" Big, however, then said "Bladedge, go for it!" Bladedge nodded, as he charged towards the Rogue Doll and destroys it. Big then says "Next, thanks to Bladedge's trample effect, you lose life points equal to the difference in Bladedge's ATK & Rogue Doll's DEF." Umbra held his chest in pain, as he lost 1600 LP.
Umbra: 400 LP
Big, finally, said "I'll place 1 card face down, and leave the rest to my partner to finish!" So, with that, a card appeared in front of Big, as Lumis said "Enough is enough! The 2 of you have embarassed us long enough with this nonsense. Now, the time has come for us to defeat you and claim the Egyptian God Cards!"Lumis draws a card, and suddenly frowns, as he says "My hand doesn't look very good right now, but then again, what can you do?" Big & Shinji looked on, as Lumis soon said "I play the magic card, Pot of Greed, to draw 2 cards!" Lumis drew 2 cards, as he soon said "And now, the time has come to defeat both of you and claim the God Cards!" Shinji soon asked "Oh really? How so?" Lumis turned towards the unconscious bodies of Misato & Carlos.....
........only to reveal that the 2 were missing. "WHAT?" Both Rare Hunters asked, as Umbra asked "Where did they go?" The 2 Rare Hunters soon turned to face Big & Shinji, as they both soon stared at the Rare Hunters! Then, Shinji asked "Now that the 2 of you have nothing to bargin with, this duel is meaningles." Lumis & Umbra are now shaking in their feet, as a mysterious voice suddenly says "You 2 are useless!" The 2 Rare Hunters now panic, as Shinji soon asks "Big, what's going on now?" as Big replies "I know that voice, but from where?"
Umbra suddenly kneed down and said 'Please forgive us, master! Give us another chance!" Lumis then said "Yes! Next time, we'll be better prepared!" However, the voice replied " You 2 have had your chance! Now, it's my turn to take out the trash! So, my former Rare Hunters, enjoy the Shadow Realm!" Lumis & Umbra soon scream in horror, as a large black mist suddenly covered them and ate them completely. Big & Shinji could only look on, as the fog soon disappeared and in the place of the Rare Hunters was someone else. In their place was a strange person with long, standing white hair, egyptian tan-like skin, a black shirt, tan-like pants, and a purple cape. The weirdest thing about this person, though, was that his pupils, altough blue, were not the most unusual, but it was a glowing symbol of an eye on his forehead. "Ah, it's good to be back!" The person said, but then looked at Big & Shinji, as he said "Although I do question the inhabitants of this world itself." Big's eyes suddenly opened wide with shock, as he said "Wait, I know you.....You're Marik Ishtar from the Battle City tournament!" The person, however, said "I think you have me confused with my weaker half. I am Dark Marik, and I have returned from the Shadow World to reclaim what is rightfully mine!" Dark Malik suddenly fires a gust of wind, sending Big & Shinji reeling back a few feet. Once the gust disappears, though, Big & Shinji open their eyes to notice that Dark Marik is now smirking. He suddenly says "Now, I believe the 2 of you have something that belongs to me! So, hand over the Egyptian God Cards!" Big, however, says "I don't think so!" Dark Marik soon raised his hand and said "Have it your way!" as a flash of light appeared and soon, Big & Shinji were blinded! Once they were able to open their eyes, Big saw Dark Marik's right hand caught by a very familiar figure..........
"LITTLE!"
It seems that, while the duel was going on, Big's only turn in this entire episode distracted both of the Rare Hunters & Shinji long enough for Big's sister, Little, to rescue both Misato & Carlos. "You can get away with that if your dealing with my brother and if he's tired, but not with me!" Little said, as Dark Marik backed away. "I see it's going to be much harder then I thought with getting the God Cards! I perfer a good challenge. However, I will regain my Egyptian God Cards soon enough!" Suddenly, and just like that, Dark Marik soon disappeared into thin air. Big looked at Little and said "Thanks, sis! I owe you one!" Little nodded and asked in a retorical question "Hey, what are siblings for?" Shinji blinked out of confusion as the 2 turned towards him and Big then said "Little, this is my apprentice, Shinji Ikari! Shinji, this is my twin sister, Little!" Shinji could only stare, as Little extended a hand and said "Nice to meet you, kid!" Shinji hesistated at first, but then accepted the handshake.
Meanwhile, somewhere else........
Dark Marik soon re-appeared outside of an abandoned home in the outskirts of the original Tokyo area. "I sense the presence of Dark Energy. It feels very tempting!" Dark Marik soon entered and found himself surrounded by hooded others, some of which were in white cloaks. Dark Marik then said "It's been quite some time since I've seen a member of the Society of Light!" The white cloaked members nodden, as Dark Marik soon took notice of a very unusual member of the group: Yubel! "And you are here as well? What brings you to this dimension, Yubel?" Dark Marik asked, as Yubel replied "I have an old score to settle with Big, but I am willing to give you information to cards that are just as powerful as the Egyptian Gods themselves!" Dark Marik suddenly snickered and said "We'll see, but first thing's first! In order to take the Egyptian God Cards, we must seperate Big from his students, and I have just the person in mind!" Dark Marik snickers, but suddenly, another person, one in black & green robes, speaks up by saying "Actually, Dark Marik, that won't be necessary. I have summoned a creature which will force Big to intervene on the human's behalf. It will drain him of so much energy, he'll go into a coma. " Yubel then said "Once that is done, I will take care of what's left of him." Dark Marik soon begins to laugh, as he says "Yes, and soon enough, once I have all 3 Egyptian God Cards, the Shadow Games will begin again!" They all then proceed to laugh, as the next Angel, the 15th, heads for Earth!
End of Episode 12!
Well, that was hell of alot of work, but now things are about to get very ugly. So, just to put it in english terms, here's the plot for the next episode:
Big tries to train Asuka & Rei while, at the same time, tries to get Shinji strong enough to weild the Egyptian God Cards. However, the 15th Angel intervens and this causes Asuka to go into a psychological breakdown due to it's attack. With neither Units 00 or 02 being able to stop it, Big is forced to do battle with the Angel himself, and soon enough, becomes Ultraman Tiga to stop this dangerous opponent........
And, as customary, here's the 'card of the chapter'
E-Hero Necroid Shaman(Big's card)
(6-star;1900/1800; Dark; Warrior-Fusion/Effect)
(E-Hero Wildheart) + (E-Hero Necroshade)
When this card is summoned sucessfully, you can send 1 monster on the opponent's field to the graveyard and then move 1 monster in your opponent's graveyard to their field.
Later!
