Chapter 14: A Promising Trust

Last time on Yugioh GX: Silent Dueling…

"DUEL"

"Byler is no ordinary duelist! Byler has the ability to turn duel monsters into realistic creatures and the pain he made, is unbearable! He has been called Byler of the Nightmare!"

"Allow me to say this to you formally, WELCOME TO YOUR NIGHTMARES!"

Present,

Ki had 1100 Life Points left and Byler had the last 600. Moreover, Ki had 3 face downs and a monster-Lava Golem (3000/2500) which is holding Ki captive in it's cage below it's neck. Byler had no monsters on his field except for two barricade trap cards- Final Attack Order and Wall of Revealing Light. Ki grabs hold of the steel bars as far as he could to avoid any contacts with the lava.

As long as Byler had Wall of Revealing Light, monsters cannot attack if they have 3000 attack or below… thought Ki, bitterly, Byler sacrifice 3000 Life Points to set up that wall which holds off monsters with 3000 attack points or below from attacking… still, thanks to that Final Attack Order, my monsters cannot defend… so… if I need a monster with 3000 attack and above, that would suits… Ki turned sideways to find his duel spirit-Silent Magician. Right… if I ought to win, I must get her out to my field, but then again- Ki turn to Byler. It was still Byler's turn.

Byler continued, "Spell card activate, Dark Designator!" he played to Ki's bewildered. "This card allows me to guess a card in your deck and if I call it right, that card is added to your hands-let's see," Byler crossed his arms and bend backwards, "Ah yes, Silent Magician Lv 8!" he declared. Ki brings out the card as he searched his deck. He shuffles his deck afterwards.

What's he up to? thought Ki.

"I end my turn."

"… Trap car, activate" said Ki as he plays one of his three face downs, "Skill Drain! By sacrificing 1000 Life Points, this card negates the effect of all monsters on the field." He explained to his relieves.

"Nicely done, Ki," said Byler, a little disappointed, "But-" Ki felt a dangerous omen sliding down his back and he looked up to the golem. To his horror, molten lava is pouring down on him and he reacted quick enough to slide his head out of the lava but barely; the molten lava touched his back. He cried aloud as the flames touched and burns his back. Ki discard his burning T-Shirt as quick as he could. Although the lava touched his back, his scar still remains painfully behind his back. Everyone watched to their horror, some could not bear watching anymore and left the arena. Ki pulled himself up as he cling to the bars, 100 Life Points remaining.

He panted as smokes came condensing out of his body, "Carry on!" he blurts as he draw, "Great!" he mumbled to his relieves. "I summon Silent Magician Lv 4 (1000/1000)!" Finally, the card Ki had been waited for is now on his field.

Liner bellowed, "Oh yeah! Now all Ki had to do is to get 'Level Up!' to his hands!"

"Yeah, I hope he could," said Tyrule, unsure.

So do I… thought Lapis.

Liner, Tyrule, Vaan, Vivian, Lapis, Lucas and Katie were the few who remained to watch this duel. Isaac and his gang of Obelisk too were no exception.

"Turn end!" he announced.

As Ki end his turn, Byler eyed the young Silent Magician darkly and evilly. "Silen Magician…" he chocked coldly as he peered.

At once, Ki knew what he was planning, "DARN! I FELL FOR IT!"

Liner and the other wondered what Ki meant; not even Lucas could tell.

"So you noticed at last," Byler said as he draw, "I play 2 face downs and I play the card Exchange!" With this, Lucas, Tyrule, Lapis and Isaac knew what Ki meant.

"Exchange, so that's what Byler's up to, he's taking away Ki's Silent Magician!" Tyrule gasped.

"Not quite," said Lucas, "Ki probably realized that Byler intended to use his cards against him again, so in other words, Byler's using Ki's Silent Magician against him!" Lucas said to everyone's surprise. Furthermore… to think that he notices by reading one's expression…

Ki had no choice but to do so as explained in the card effect. Since Ki is locked up in Lava Golem's cage, Byler come instead. "Now where's your Silent Magician?" he asked raising his hands. Ki bitterly turns the card over. As Byler revealed the cards in his hands to Ki, he picked one. Nitro Unit.

"Hngh, what's a trash card like that could do?" Byler spat as he turned away and retreated to his field. "Now-" he continued, "-let's resume, face down activate, Snatch Steal!" With this, Ki's Silent Magician shifted field just like his Breaker.

"Not again!" Liner and Vaan grunted.

"Well? Here's another head on for you! Face down, reveal-Level Up!" Ki was struck ominously when Byler played that card, "You know what this card do, do you? Yeah, Silent Magician Lv 4 evolves to Silent Magician Lv 8 (3500/1000)!" to Ki's and his duel spirit (Silent Magician Lv 8) s' horror, she was forced to be summoned onto Byler's field. "How'd you like this, your very own precious card taken away from you?" he sneered.

Liner and Vaan were mumbling, "Dude… that sounded like Digital ******** man…"

Ki grind his teeth bitterly. Crowler was interested but was worried for some reasons. Isaac and his gang were very much interested to see Ki's defeat. Lucas and the others jaw dropped except for Liner and Vaan whose still thinking about that Digital ******** subject they just said.

"I play the equip spell known as Mist Body on Lava Golem!" Byler said as a card is played, "Still, here's your detour: either defeat or surrender."

Ki cursed and he stubbornly played his next face down, "Emergency Provision, I sacrifice my face down to recover 1000 Life Points." He growled. Ki's Life Points recovered to 1100.

"Defeat, fine then Silent Magician, go!" as Byler gave the order, Silent Magician fired a jet of light at Ki. The golem covers him with his lava hands but her attack was greater and it penetrates through it. Ki took the blow and the impact was as similar as he just took another blow of a Hinotama. Ki clutched his chest as he could feel his ribs breaking and he chocked, then coughed and to his horror, bloods; 600 Life Points remaining.

"Oh no, he's wounded!" Vivian blurted.

"But still, that golem still remained," as Vivian mentioned, they noticed that the Lava Golem did not melt nor collapse, but remained on Ki's field. "Was it, Lava Golem's effect?"

"No Vaan, if it was it's effect, it would be canceled out thanks to Skill Drain that is," Tyrule said.

"Byler had equipped Mist Body on Lava Golem instead, and Mist Body's effect prevents the equipped monster from being destroyed by battle," Lucas said, "Byler seemed to prefer torturing that quick defeat."

"No way, KI!" Liner roared.

Ki grasped his chest as he found it difficult to talk. He stood up, still determined to fight.

The audience was surprised to see that Ki was still standing after receiving a strong impact. Crowler, Isaac and Byler were no exception. They were amazed at Ki's determination to win as he is planning to finish the duel until one is defeated. Byler ends his turn to Silent Magician and Kis' relieves. Ki placed his finger on his deck slot, hopping for the best, he pulled.

"KI! THAT'S ENOUGH!"

Ki heard a voice calling him. He scanned around to find it's source and to his amazement, the voice came from Silent Magician's lips. "That's enough Ki, you've tried your best already, just surrender!" Ki heard her and sworn that he was the only one who hears it; not Liner, not Lapis but he himself. "W-Watch…" he mumbled, "I w…ill melt that… cold heart of y-yours…" Ki smirked and reveals his card.

Darn, this is not what I want! Thought Ki adding his spell card Mystical Space Typhoon to his hands, "T-T-Turn… end!" he growled feebly.

Byler draws as he glared, "Attack!" he declared impatiently. Again, Silent Magician attacked him, narrowing her eyes with great anguish. The bolt of light travelled straight at Ki. The golem blocked but the penetration was too strong. The bolt went through it and hits the left rim of Ki's glasses. It flew out of his face and landed to the ground a few feet away from him and the golem. Ki grasped his eye, feeling dizzy but he eventually recovers.

Ki covered his left eye and fixed his hair. He shook his head to refresh himself. 100 Life Points remaing.

Byler ends his turn.

Ki prepared for his next draw.

Silent Magician watched suspiciously at him. Her mind is now a whirlpool of questions: Why would Ki go so far until now? What gave him the strength to come this far? Why would he be so determined to win although it was impossible? Just why… for one card, why would he go so far just for one card?

Ki paused before he touched his deck; he was concentrating and focusing hard in his mind, I need just one card… just one card to change the condition of this duel… just one card… to regain my Silent Magician!" he kept repeating these words in his mind and finally, he placed his hands on his deck, Please… give me STRENGTH! He pulls and in a flash of gold light, Lucas, Liner and Lapis gasped.

"THAT'S…" Liner gasped.

"Destiny Draw!" Lapis continued.

Ki prayed for the best, reveals the card. Then he gasped, "T-This is…" he said, recalling the event back in the entrance exam.

FLASHBACK

"Not too shabby, 101" said a voice of a young man beside Ki. He turned. A teenager slightly his age called him. He had blonde shoulder length hair and thin black eyes. He wore a yellow uniform like some of the applicants of spectators around him and he was gave Ki a faint smile, "Saw how you duel out there, 101. Tyrule's my name." He introduced.

"Hm, hm," Ki nod as he turns back to the arena "Ki" is all he said in order to shut him up.

"Well silent type eh?" said Tyrule rather disappointed. "Anyway, see you at the academy."

With this, he left and at the same time, dropped a card.

As Ki stood up to pick it, he heard the intercom hiss before someone said, "That brings an end to the entrance examinations. Will all participants who passed please exit through the back door." Ki ginned as he followed the crowd currently heading out of the door after he slide the card into his pocket.

END FLASHBACK

"T-Ty!" he called, "Mind you, I use… this card?" He raised the card to Tyrule, to his be wilderness, wondering what card Ki meant. Then he turned to Byler, "Byler, the cards I need to w-win this duel… are now… in my hands…" He said which struck Byler ominously. "I ac-activate, CREATURE SWAP!" Byler gasped. "Hear this… Byler, t-this card effect forces both players… to switch monsters… on their field!" he jerked those words.

Byler glee and laughed, "Are you insane? Have you forgotten that Silent Magician Lv 8 is unaffected by any spell cards?" he chuckled. It was true; Silent Magician Lv 8's effect is that she is immune to opponent's spell cards. But, since Ki knew this already, why would he play it?

"Don't… let me repeat… the same thing… again…" he said feebly and lazily. Byler scanned the field and to his horror, he had forgotten completely about the continuous trap card on Ki's field-Skill Drain. The audiences were surprised that Ki made such a combat. "I select, your Lava Golem- which is on my field… with the only… monster on your field… -Silent Magician Lv 8!" Ki roared. Silent Magician was relieved as she flew to Ki's field without any hesitations. The Lava Golem imprisoning Ki melted and reappeared on Byler's field, imprisoning him.

Ki fell to his knees, panting as he escaped the heat at last. Silent Magician turns to her back, watching the exhausted Ki. "Are you alright?" she said to him.

"Never feel this better," he said, standing up. "Now… I shall finish what you've started!" he picks a card in his hand, "Quick Spell, Mystical Space Typhoon! With this card, I destroy a spell or trap card on the field… and of course, it's no other than Mist Body!" Ki declares. As a gust of wind hits the Spell Card, it destroys it upon impact. "Next, Equip Spell, Nitro Unit!" A bomb appeared and attached to the golem.

"Nitro Unit… you don't have that card!" Byler roared.

"Yeah… I don't have it, but… it was your card, do you remember?" Ki asked.

FLASHBACK

"So you noticed at last," Byler said as he draw, "I play 2 face downs and I play the card Exchange!" With this, Lucas, Tyrule, Lapis and Isaac knew what Ki meant.

Ki had no choice but to do so as explained in the card effect. Since Ki is locked up in Lava Golem's cage, Byler come instead. "Now where's your Silent Magician?" he asked raising his hands. Ki bitterly turns the card over. As Byler revealed the cards in his hands to Ki, he picked one. Nitro Unit.

"Hngh, what's a trash card like that could do?" Byler spat as he turned away and retreated to his field.

END FLASHBACK

"Y-You're using my cards against me!" Byler gasped.

"True and it sums it up: Breaker and Silent Magician; Lava Golem and Nitro Unit!" said Ki. "Now have a taste of your own medicine, Byler!" he raised his hand to the air and clenched, "SILENT MAGICIAN LV 8," she responded. Ki then lowered his hand and aimed straight at Byler, "SILENT BANING, ATTACK!" he roared several times louder than he usual goes. Silent Magician showed no mercy as she fired a much stronger and bigger bolt of light at Byler. The golem barricaded the attack. The bolt penetrated through it's arm and straight to Byler, 100 Life Points remaining. "Now Nitro Unit's effect activates, you take damage equals to the destroyed equipped monster!"

Byler gasped and the green bomb strapped around the Lava Golem detonates. Lava was spouting around the field and covered Byler mostly as it melts. He yelled to his fullest as he had been defeated.

"The End!" announced Ki with and exhausted tone.

The audiences were amazed and eventually cheered. Crowler was no exception, he over arm Ki's jacket and clapped. Liner and Vaan were hopping into the air to their excitement like a maniac.

"Seems like Ki had created a legend for himself," said Tyrule who clapped in his seat.

Vivian nod, "I think I'm gonna date him!" she said boldly.

Lapis sighed.

To think that he could win under such tense condition, and use Destiny Draw; Ki… you're getting much mysterious than ever, thought Ki.

Ki picked his glasses up. To his relieves, it wasn't badly damaged. He casted it on and turns to Byler who is kneeling.

"Hey By," he called, "That was some battle, don't you think? Put'er there!"

Byler gasped and rose to Ki who held out his hand for a hand shake.

Byler hesitated, confused. His eyes were narrowing but eventually smiled, "Yeah," he said, raising his hand.

However, before he could reach for it, Ki's hand began to get out of reach as he toppled and slammed onto the floor. The audiences saw this and to their anxiousness, they wondered what happened to Ki.

Silent Magician froze as she saw this. He was gasping feebly and unconsciously. Ki then turned to her, his lips moved but no sound escaped. Ki wanted to tell her something. She came closer to him and listens to his weak voice: "… won… I… k-k-kept… my… pro…" He repeated, but failed and fell into a deep sleep.

Silent Magician understood everything now. All her questions and confusions were answered. Ki promised her that he will believe in his cards and the words he said to her earlier: "W-Watch…" he mumbled, "I w…ill melt that… cold heart of y-yours…" Words failed her as she could not find a word to explain this. But she couldn't help it but to yell his name at the strongest pitch of her voice.

Crowler called for a medic team at once.

Is Ki… dead?
