Chapter 11: Clash of the Gears
Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Silent Dueling…
"I play Ancient Gear Castle!"
"I summon Gemini Elf (1900/1200) in attack pose!"
"Ancient Gear Castle's effect activates-I bring out Ancient Gear Golem (3000/3000)-Ancient Gear Golem, attack that elves with Mechanized Melee!"
"Pu-lease, you need more than that to make me cry. I've been wanted to pick a fight with someone like you!"
Present
Ki had 2800 Life Points left; on the other hand, Crowler had 3900 Life Points. Ki's field is clear of monsters while Crowler had a large robotic golem-Ancient Gear Golem (3000/3000).
As Crowler ends his turn, Ki continued as he draws.
"I play the field spell known as Magical Citadel of Endymion!" he inserts the card into a hidden slot. As he did, the scene around changed into some fortress, like the field spell Crowler played, except that this is different. They are now standing on the ground of a city or a sort. It was much advanced, there were platforms floating around in the air. The buildings looked as if they were alive and there was a tower at the square. "How'd you like this Citadel?"
"Yes, not bad…" Crowler said, uninterested.
"Here's the Citadel's effect, whenever you or I play a spell, this field spell gains a counter, next I play a monster known as Copycat (0/0) in attack position!" A magician holding a mirror as it's face appeared. It hunches as it stood facing Crowler. "Copycat's effect is, it can copy a monster's attack and defense and it is non other than yours truly-Ancient Gear Golem!" the mirror faced magician suddenly had it's face turned into the golem as it now gains it's power (0+3000/0+3000). "Two face downs, and that's all!"
Crowler drew his next card and Ki interrupted, "Face down activate, Waboku! During this turn, my monsters will not be destroyed in battle and I receive 0 damage points!" he growled.
The audience doesn't understand why Ki would do this in the first place, since he had Copycat with the same strength as the golem. Liner and the rest too bewildered but Lucas knows.
Silent Magician continued watching him and she could read what is Ki up to.
"Yes, now I go," Crowler referred to every card in his hands, and finally, he had a broad grin across his face. "I now activate, the spell card Polymerization! I fuse Ancient Gear Golem with another 2 Ancient Gear Monsters in my hands to create, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem (4400/3400)!" A whirling rift appeared from the card and two similar looking robots too appeared. The two Ancient Gear Soldier and two more similar looking robots too appeared. The golem and another two android fused together, creating much bigger android. It was gold and old. It looked like a centaur. The android had a big claw like right arm which blades are shiny sharp.
"Interesting!" said Ki.
The entire audience had never seen such a monstrous card as if in their entire life! Isaac, Liner, Vaan, Tyrule and Lapis gasped to see that card; Lucas did not budge.
"I next activate the Equip Spell Ancient Gear Fist to my Ultimate Golem and ends!" As the golem had it's right arm changed, Ki referred to his only card-Spell Power Grasp. Some of the crowds were cheering for Crowler as he is gaining. Silent Magician on the other hand was glaring at him, turns away and mumbled, "Liar…"
Ki thought no more and conduct his draw (DRAW!), he refers to it, hopping for the best and he was relief, "Spell Card, Pot of Greed; I can draw two cards!" he does so. Ki looked at his cards and he was counting under his breath, "Two… Three… Four… Five… Six… nice!" he was grinning, to everyone's surprise. "Crowler," he called, "all the cards I need to win this duel are now in my hands!" he said.
Crowler bewilders, "What are you trying to pull?"
"Watch, one," his index finger shot out, "two, Polymerization," next his middle finger, "three, Ancient Gear Fist," then his third finger, "three, Pot of Greed," he was counting the number of spell cards previously used, then his hands pushed a button on his Academy Disk, "Four, Foolish Burial; I search one monster in my deck and sends it to the graveyard," he inserts a monster into the graveyard slot, "Five, Spell Power Grasp! This card adds a Spell Counter to a card which is capable of adding Spell Counter on-Magical Citadel of Endymion-" Ki said, pointing at the peak of the tower beside him. There was a total of five green levitating orbs were circling around it. No one notice this until Ki points it out. "Ow, and since this is a spell card, the Citadel gains another counter since this was the field spell's effect." Another green orb appeared, circling the tower along with the other five. But why would Ki counts the number of spell counters? "Here's the haymaker line! A monster effect in my graveyard activates!" Ki picks out the card he was talking about and revealed it to everyone, "Endymion, the Master Magician!" Nearly everyone gasped.
"WHAT THE… when did that monster gets into your grave?" Crowler boomed.
Ki answer his question as he brings out a card from the graveyard-Foolish Burial.
"Ow really? What will it do?" Crowler asked.
"Here's the drill, by removing a total of six Spell Counters on my Field Spell," he pointed, "With this, I can special summon him from my hands or graveyard!" he explained. The six levitating orb circling the tower glowed and accelerates in speed and descends to Ki's field. "Now show yourself, Endymion, the Master Magician (2700/1700)!" he roared and in a green beam of thundering bolt, a great magician stood before Ki. He wore a jet black robe with gold lining emblem around his robe. Behind him was a white coloured hoop or a sort with gold lining as well. He had on an eye mask which did not covers his crimson red hair and the lower half of his face which had red linings in both cheeks. He holds a staff with a gold spiked crescent and a purple jewel.
"So what, your monster does not have enough points to defeat my Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem (4400/3400)!" Crowler spat. In everyone's opinion, it was quite true, Silent Magician believes it too.
"True he is, but hey, first things' first." Ki began, "Endymion's effect activates; when this monster is summoned like how I just did, I can bring back a spell card from my graveyard, but wait here's the 'Charged Haymaker' chips in, once per turn, by discarding a spell card from my hands, I can destroy one card on the field; I don't had to cause I just did!"
Crowler's relieves turned into horror as his eyes widened. As the giant centaur golem shattered, a familiar looking golem replaced it-Ancient Gear Golem (3000/3000). "Too bad, when Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem is destroyed, I can special summon an Ancient Gear Golem (3000/3000) from my graveyard, ignoring it's summoning conditions."
"I know, that's why it's important to have Plan-B." Ki summons his final card to the field, "Injection Fairy Lily (400/1500)!" A nurse like female fairy with short curly pink hair appeared to the field, holding a giant syringe in her arms. Her charms seemed to affect some of the audience.
"Injection Fairy Lily… but she has only 400 attack points!" Liner bewilders when he saw her.
"You… don't know?" Tyrule asked, throwing a weird gaze at him. He sighed with a tone like, "You're so hopeless…"
Crowler on the other hand gasped to his horror when he sees that nurse fairy.
"I activate Injection Fairy Lily's effect!" he said. To everyone's surprise, Ki's Life Points decreased from 2800 to 800, what happened? "Lily's effect is, during Damage Calculations, by decreasing 2000 Life Points, Lily's attack will be increased by 3000!" as he had mentioned, the fairy nurse's huge syringe was filled with gold like liquid, thus increasing her attack points (400+3000/1500).
"WAIT, TIME OUT!" Crowler gasped as he scratched his hair panicked.
"Yeah but I call this overtime! Injection Fairy Lily, go dismantle that golem's maintenances!" The nurse fairy hurled her giant syringe at the golem. With one thrust, the golem collapsed into lump of junks, bringing down Crowler's Life Points to 3500. "Next, Copycat, attack with Mimic Mechanized Melee!" the magician with the Ancient Gear Golem's face attacked as it threw a straight fist at Crowler, draining his Life Points to 500 and stunned him. "And lastly, the final touch, Endymion!" he called. The black robed magician waved his staff and the sky above the Citadel became dark. "Attack with Divine Judgement!" he commanded. At once, a green bolt of thunder came striking down in a flash at Crowler, electrocuting him. As Crowler cried in an agonizing pain, his Life Points decreased to 0.
"The end," Ki said in a low pitched tone.
The audience was surprised, confused at first but then, they were cheering to their highest at Ki. Liner and Vaan were excited when Ki won and they leaped in the air like a maniac; Tyrule was glad and so do Lapis who gave a faint smile as she gazed at the victorious Ki.; her spirit-Ruin, Queen of Oblivion too gazed at Ki and occasionally at Lapis. Lucas was admiring Ki's victory. Issac and his gang were surprised with what they have just witnessed.
"Well then Ki, you have successfully passed the detention duel, which means that you get to stay at the academy," the chancellor stood up, announcing, "Well done." The roar of the crowds rose again as he finished his speach.
Isaac glared at him nastily, cursing.
As Ki turned to face Silent Magician, he could see her faint gentle smile for a moment. When she noticed him watching, she returned to her usual cold self and glared at him. Ki sworn that he saw her faint smile but he knows her character-cold, dishonest and silent.
Crowler who have recovered from the thunder strike was cursing Ki horribly, "How could this slacker defeat me! This can't be, there's no way this slacker could defeat me! This is absolutely no way!"
Katie watched Ki leaves the arena. She smirked and leaves.
Ki walked out of the arena and he returns to his dorm. Ki could at least rest assured now, since he gets to stay in the academy. He rather skips class and deserves a good night sleep.
