The Banishment of the Dragontamer
"What did you just say?"
"I said Kettou Da! Now you're supposed to say Yoshi, I accept."
"Wait, so you're a duelist? That's so hot…"
"Stop it you'll make me blush, so do you accept?"
"Oh sure, Yoshi I first I need to recall my cards." He snapped his fingers and all the cards that were scattered around on the floor returned to his deck. The suddenly three cards came falling from the air: Ballom, Master of Death, Deathliger Lion of Chaos and death Cruzer, the annihilator. "So she evolved Ballom from Deathliger huh"
"What are those cards?" I asked
"Those are the cards I beat, when a kaijudo duel ends, the winner keeps the cards he destroyed. Now back to the duel" Jameson said while taking out a deck case out of his pocket.
"Aren't you gonna use the deck on your wrist?" I asked.
"Hahaha, of course not, that's no deck for ordinary dueling, it's a deck for Kaijudo dueling."
"You mean like the duel just now was a kaijudo duel?" I said shocked.
"Of course did you think they were holograms or something?" Jameson said grinning.
"Nooo…" I said while a blush appeared on my cheeks, I quickly changed the subject " So your name is Jameson right?"
"It sure is. And if I may ask, what your name is, little miss?"
"My name is Stella."
"Ah, Stella, a name befitting a shining girl like yourself, it seems it is very easy to make you blush dear Stella" He said while I was blushing yet again.
We finally reached the park, were there was little table waiting for us to duel on. "This is it Stella, this is where you will get pounded by me" Jameson said laughing.
"Don't be so full of yourself let's get this match on the way!"
We both set our shields and drew the first five cards, and without waiting I immediately said "I'll be going first Hot-Shot!"
"I set one light mana and tap it to summon: Vess the oracle! I then end my turn"
"My move, I set one nature mana and end my turn"
"I set one water mana and tap it to summon Aqua guard, turn end."
"I set one fire mana and I tap two mana to cast fearie life!" He put the top card of his deck in his mana, being Buzz bettochi it was put there tapped "I now end my turn"
"This duel is pretty one sided don't you think? I put one more mana in the mana zone and I summon electro explorer syrion! That's all for now"
"One more mana and now I summon Cocco lupia! That's it"
"One mana and now I summon, tajimal, vizier of aqua! Syrion breaks a shield."
"Shield trigger, I cast faerie life! My turn I set mana and I cast: miraculous rebirth I destroy your tajimal and I summon totto pippichi!"
"My turn. " I looked at my trump card right there in my hand, realizing I had to wait another turn to summon it, I wouldn't risk losing syrion so I ended my turn.
"My move, I set mana and summon cocco lupia, now I summon Super dragon machine dolzark, Ike dolzark break her shields!"
"I block with Aqua guard! My turn, I set mana and now, let's go, VORTEX EVOLUTION, overlaying Vess and Syrion I now summon WISE STARNOID AVATAR OF HOPE! Ike Starnoid destroy Dolzark and give me another shield"
"Crap, this isn't good, I summon another dolzark and end my turn."
"I summon Kaemira the oracle and I attack with starnoid, ike double break his shields!" I added another card from the top of my deck to my shields giving me a total of seven shields.
"Yes, let's see who has the most powerful avatar shall we?" Jameson teased as he revealed the card in his hand "VORTEX EVOLUTION! SOUL PHOENIX AVATAR OF UNITY! And I also summon another totto pippichi. Now Soul phoenix, chop that starnoid into sushi!" I put the starnoid into my grave and another shield was added giving me a total of eight"
"My turn huh, kaemira breaks your shield, ike."
" That's all? I summon Bolshack dragon, ike bolshack, double break her shields"
"Shield trigger, spiral gate! Soul phoenix to your hand please"
"No prob, u made an error though, now I get dolzark and pippichi back. Dolzark Double break her shields!"
"Shield trigger, brain serum I draw two cards."
"Yeah, yeah now pippichi break a shield"
"Trigger, Siren Concerto" I quickly switched the Vess in my mana zone with the estol, vizier of aqua in my hand
"Second pippichi break shield"
"Trigger Kolon the oracle, tap on of his lupias!"
" You sure are lucky with all those triggers, now my last cocco lupia break a shield!"
"You have no idea, Spiral gate send dolzark flying back to his hand!"
"I summon aqua guard and evolve it into crystal paladin! Then I summon Vess, the oracle. You're done Crystal paladin ike,"
"Hahahaha, the irony, shield trigger burst shot, destroy kaemira, kolon and vess"
"No, it can't be…" I said horrified
"Sorry, my move ah this guy should finish those triggers of, I summon Bolmeteus Steel Dragon for 3 mana and then once more: VORTEX EVOLUTION, SOUL PHOENIX AVATAR OF UNITY! Bolmeteus break that last shield and Soul Phoenix TODOMEDA!"
"Unbelievable, I can't believe it, my last shield was holy awe"
"I figured as much, with all your luck I wasn't gonna go in that easily, so I decided to go with good old bolmeteus, and it paid off. But hey no hard feelings I am a grandmaster kaijudo player, formerly known as Destiny's Dragontamer"
"Wait you mean Your Jameson Blake, the famous world travelling player? I've heard about you in the chatrooms, they say you went from country to country tracking down the leftover players and then challenged them to a duel! But then you disappeared two years ago and no one ever heard from you. Some say you became one of the Kaijudo Monarchs!"
"Yes that's me. I had to abandon the game because I knew the secret of the real kaijudo, and I didn't want anyone else to learn it."
"What, that's way selfish of you Jameson!"
"You don't understand, if anyone was to learn those secrets it could be used for evil as well as for good, but that doesn't matter anymore, the monarchs found out their own way to use the kaijudo, trough the Japanese cards."
"Right that girl, Leona, was one of the monarchs too right?"
"Yes she was. You say you follow the forums? So you know the Monarch story right?"
"No, after your disappearance the Monarchs closed the chats off from any non-monarchs, to preserve their secrets. So no one knows the story."
"I guess I could tell you, but it's a long story, you want to hear it all?"
"Yes I want to know, I want to know where they went south from being the heroes we all knew"
"You've heard about the Kaijudo card game right? The Crap rebirth of duel masters? Well it all started when the project launched"
Flashback
Three weeks earlier, At the WOTC head office
Ten young people with different nationalities walk into the big room were the board of directors is gathered around the table. They sit down on the other side of the big table and wait for the chairman to begin talking.
The chairman, Mr. Henry Burgisson stands up and starts talking with a low but strong voice "So you are the Kaijudo Monarchs huh? Well I thought you would look less… Ordinary so to speak, but well who am I to judge right? Well I'll get straight to the point. We have managed to get a new law trough parliament which forbids any use or possession of Duel masters cards outside of japan, which means you will all start to play kaijudo from now on, we will give each of you five booster boxes and a starter kit in return you will hand over your duel masters collections to be destroyed immediately, if you don't we will send someone to your houses to do so forcefully. Does everyone understand what I'm saying?"
A young man with a darker skin colour than the rest wearing glasses stood up and started to speak for the group with an American accent "I don't know who you think you are but there is no way you are getting my cards, nor do I intend to switch my favorite game with some new reject wannabee game. If that's all you have to say then all I have to say is so long sucker!"
"Hahaha it's funny, you know the way you think you have a choice."
"We always have a choice to do what's right and what you're trying is wrong you son of a bitch!"
"Hahaha still so funny, Mister Black here will show you why you are so wrong when you think you have a choice." As the chairman stopped talking a big black man dressed in a suit stepped out of the shadows and walked towards the young man. He grabbed the young man's neck and lifted him off his feet. "So how do you feel about my offer now Nolan, it is Nolan Right?"
"You better let him go Burgisson, or I'll be forced to do something drastic." Jameson exclaimed from his chair.
"Like what Boy?"
"Like this." Jameson said while jumping of his chair giving the black man 2 quick jabs to the gut and an uppercut knocking him out cold, while catching Nolan who was grabbing his troth sucking in air as fast as he could "We listened to your proposal and we are not interested, now we leave. Good day Burgisson, misters of the board."
"Like you can just leave here after insulting me like that, Guards don't let them leave" On his command four more big black guys stepped out of the shadows, but this time they were carrying baseball bats, the big steel type.
"Guys step back a little, I'll take care of this problem right here and now." He said as he dropped six cards on the floor which immediately turned into six burning red arrows. The other monarchs took a few steps back, but the guards weren't frightened as easily, they just kept coming forward. Jameson took out a card from his deck dropped it and snapped his fingers. Three arrows turned into orbs and engulfed the card before it even hit the ground.
A flaming flash of light blinded everyone and when they opened their eyes an enormous sword with golden dragons at the base of the hilt was stuck in a giant stone in the middle of the room. Jameson snapped his fingers and the three remaining arrows engulfed his hands as he ran up to the sword. As soon as he touched the sword, the dragons on the hilt crawled up his arm giving him gold plated armor on one arm. The sword shrank down to a size at which the boy could manage to swing it around.
"Well, well, well your guards suddenly aren't so eager to attack me anymore are they?" Jameson said gloating
"Let's see how you handle this." Burgisson said while taking out a handgun pointing it at the head of the young man.
"I dare you to try it old man, I dare you"
The grin on the boy's face was enough to push Burgisson over the edge, and he pulled the trigger. A loud bang echoed through the room as the gun went off. The boy stood unfazed with the tip of his sword on the floor in front of him, and two small pieces of bullet in the wall on his left as well as on his right. "I will not stand for this, I will warn you once and only once, stay away from us or we take you down. Touch our game and we take you down! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!"
All the board members muttered a few words and looked down at the floor. "We will take or leave now" Jameson said. He snapped his fingers and the sword disappeared in a flash of light sucking all cards back to the deck. "Let's go guys." On his word all the monarchs got up and left the room. They headed for the airport to be taken home by the WOTC Private jets.
"Jameson, how did you do that? Summoning a cross gear like that!" Nolan asked.
"I can't tell you, it has to remain a secret, else it could fall into the wrong hands." Jameson replied.
"Dude you have to tell us, we have been duelists for longer than you, we've earned it!" a boy wearing a metalhead T-shirt and a pair of jeans said angry.
"No Kokujo, the less people know about it the better! And I'm not obliged to tell you anything, it's my discovery and it's my power!"
"You son of a bitch! " A girl dressed in a sweater and a skirt screamed in a german accent "I helped you get most of your deck and you won't even tell me!"
"I'm sorry Tigressa, I just can't tell you, nor anyone else."
"Not even me dear? " Leona purred against his shoulder.
"No not even you honey, I'm sorry but you have to understand. It's better this way. "
"Then we're over. " The girl said in a grave voice.
"Yes you are no longer one of us. " Her brother added.
"If that's what you want kokujo then I will leave the monarchs."
"If you won't tell us then that would be the best. " Waileuk added
End flashback
The sun had already set and Jameson was walking me home while telling his story
"..And that's the last time I saw them. I went back to japan, the origins of the game to find out more about my powers. I didn't get that much time of though, only a week later I found out the monarchs had found a way to access the kaijudo power of the Japanese cards, which is way easier to access but also much weaker than the kaijudo of English cards. That's the reason the English sets stopped at set 12, the creatures became too powerful. "
"But why are the Japanese cards weaker?"
"The Japanese have always been good at controlling the power of creatures in card games, why do you think almost all card games originate there? It's because they combine their mythical sealing techniques with technological innovations to make kick-ass card games."
"Hahaha, yes and for that same reason they are much easier to summon, you can just use some of the ancient Japanese summoning artefacts to summon them!" A boy said while stepping out of a dark alley. "Like my scythe here, it's called Yami no Kakusei, translated darkness awakening! Let me show you it's power!"As Kokujo stopped speaking the scythe started to glow which was kokujo's sight to start throwing cards around, six dark purple arrows surrounded Stella and Jameson. "This is for hurting my sister you Jackass!" Kokujo smashed the scythe into the floor, turning the arrows into purple orbs. "Now here comes the main event, LEON DIEZ, THE LION KING! "
"Run" Jameson whispered, "I'll take care of this."
I started running, but kokujo didn't care about me, his prey was still right there. Destiny's dragontamer was finally within his reach. "LEON DIEZ IKE" The grand lion slammed his enormous paw onto the pavement but there was no blood, just a flash of red and a chirping sound behind Kokujo. He turned around to see Jameson being carried by a cocco lupia. Jameson let go of the Lupia and landed in between three red arrows on the floor, he snapped his fingers summoning a second cocco lupia. He didn't stop for a second, he just dashed forward between the lions paws and threw three new cards whilst running underneath the lion. He stopped when he reached the lions tail. He stood there waiting for it to turn around and when it did, he snapped his fingers.
"BOLMETEUS STEEL DRAGON" He shouted, seven red orbs hovering around him, accelerating until they were but a broad red line around him. The line exploded and in its place an enormous white dragon with blue armor was now surrounding Jameson. "Ike…" That was all that the dragon needed to get into action. He dashed forward jumping on top of the lion and ripping it to shreds with his claws and blowing its remains into oblivion with the cannons on his back.
"Like that's all I've got" Kokujo grinned, he threw seven cards onto the floor and smashed the scythe into the floor once again to turn them into purple orbs
"Meet one of my new friends, a real tough guy, DARK GUY, ROMANOFF ZERO" A purple armored creature with shining yellow flashing guns rose from the ground up shooting Bolmeteus steel dragon into the floor, smashing it into pieces.
"And as if that wasn't enough here comes my baby!" Another ten cards hit the floor as it was being smashed by the scythe,
"BALLOM HUNTER, LORD OF DEMONS!" Dark guy began to crack and as if it was a caterpillar becoming a butterfly it broke open revealing an enormous gray, gold and red creature sitting in mid air in a meditating position, wielding a long broadsword with a purple aura and a golden handle. The creature swung its sword nonchalant at the cocco lupias incinerating them into black carcasses.
"NO MORE MISTER NICE JAMESON!" Jameson screamed throwing his burnt jacket away revealing he was wearing a white shirt with a black gentleman's vest over it.
"You're a dead man!" he said while throwing 14 cards into the air, he snapped his fingers and the first seven arrows turned into a yellow dragon
"Velyrika Dragon, GIVE ME BAJULA" The yellow dragon created a red orb which it threw at Jameson who caught it. The orb turned into a card, Überdragon Bajula to be precise. Jameson snapped his fingers and threw the bajula at velyrika dragon who was hit with the seven remaining arrows as well. The dragon went supernova until an enormous chain came swinging out of the flames followed by a dragon so powerful it had to be chained.
"Überdragon Bajula, IKE! DESTROY THAT MISFIT OF A DEMON!" It only took a second for the dragon to reach ballom and it took him even less time to rip the demon into little edible pieces which were easily chunked down.
Kokujo who was blown back by Bajula now lay bleeding against the wall, with Jameson approaching him, but before he could reach him, he was swooped up by Leona who was still riding on her Necrodragon Zalva.
"How dare you touch my brother! You piece of shit, Waileuk and Nolan will be coming for you soon enough and you know you can't beat them, you know you're gonna lose big time! They will pulverize you! Muahahahahaha you will die my former lover, die you will" She kept laughing her maniacal laugh while she flew away on the necrodragon
