Chapter 7
Sonika's fall… A New Life
THREE DAYS LATER…
"DUEL!" called out Leo and Jax in unison sitting on Jax's bed
Jax's LP: 4000
Leo's LP: 4000
"I'll start this duel." Said Jax "And I'll set three cards facedown and end turn." Said Jax
"Heh, that was no fun, I draw." Said Leo "And I'll summon Datatron in attack mode!" (3/1200/600) "And Now I set one card face down and attack!."
"Hold up!" Said Jax "I activate my Trap card Metal Reflect Slime, this card immediately after activation becomes a level 10 monster with zero attack and 3000 defense points."
"Grr… End turn." Said Leo
"Very well then, draw." Said Jax "And I think I'll plat the spell card Double summon which allows me to normal summon twice this turn, I'll sacrifice my Metal Reflect Slime to summon Horus The Black Flame Dragon LV 6 (6/2300/1600),"
"Oh lord, you're gonna summon Horus Level 8 aren't you?" asked Leo in a quivering voice.
"Don't be so sure." Said Jax waving his index finger "because I'm going to summon my next Normal summon to summon the Tuner monster Debris Dragon (4/1000/2000), and next I'm going to tune up Horus Level six to syncro summon Trident Dragon (10/3000/2800)"
"That's a lot of points!" exclaimed Leo
"and one of the nastiest abilities I've ever seen in the game." Added Jax
"What?!" exclaimed Leo
"Yes, You see when he is syncro summoned, I can destroy two cards on my field and in addition to his normal battle phase attack he can attack once again for each card destroyed this way, so I'll just nail those two cards I placed down on my first turn to be able to attack three times!"
"That's just not right!" exclaimed Leo as his life points dropped to one big goose egg (AKA Zero)
"Hey it's just the way I roll" said Jax simply
"You know, if you keep like that, you could become the next duelist king!" said Leo
Jax thought for a moment. "Oh… I don't know, I don't want to be confined to New Domino my whole life, don't get me wrong, New domino will always be my home, but I'd like to get the chance to do a bit of traveling with my duels, maybe go on tour with my dueling across the world when this whole thing with Sonika is over…" said Jax looking out the window at the skies
"But you are a signer, you have a duty to us, what if you are on tour and another threat comes for us?" asked Leo
Jax smiled, "Don't worry Leo, when it comes to dueling verses my friends, my friends will always come first." He said placing a hand on his shoulder. A knock at the door sounded "It's open." Said Jax
In walked Rika with a take out food package in her hands, for some reason she looked a little depressed, "Leo, Your sister is looking for you." She said and Leo left knowing what she meant.
When the door closed, Jax looked at her. "What's up?" he asked
"I just brought you some Yaki Soba, I thought you might've been getting tired of the cafeteria food." She said
"How did you guess?" He asked
"I was in and out of the hospital for a time too when I was four." She said
"Rika tell me, is there something troubling you?" he asked
Rika was silent for a moment but then spoke. "Is it true that you want to go on a dueling tour and leave New Domino city?" she asked a little nervous
"It's what I hope to do once this whole madness with Sonika is dealt with, I do not want to spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder every twelve seconds to ensure I'm not being stalked by Sonika agents who either want their ass kicked in a duel or want to kill me… Why?" he asked after explaining what he wanted to do.
Rika turned and stated walking towards Jax "It's just in the few days since I've met you, I thought you were the most brave person I've ever met," started Rika
"those times I had to be brave, I was shaking in my combat boots." Interjected Jax
"a free spirit," she continued
"I can agree with that." Replied The Dragon Duelist
"never giving up no matter the cost."
"Consider the alternative." Muttered Jax suddenly realizing exactly how close she was
"fearless and…" she stopped when she found out that she could speak no more seeing as her lips had made contact with his.
Jax, surprised with the contact, broke it off catching her off guard. "Whoa, I do not think this is appropriate, I mean what would your Grandfather think?" asked Jax.
"Screw what Grandpa thinks, I'm in love!" she said flinging her arms around him.
From outside the door opened ajar, Jack Atlas stood with his cell phone out taking a cell phone video of what was going on inside the room, and snuck away.
AT GOODWIN'S OFFICE…
Rex Goodwin was at his desk looking over various reports then checked his E-Mail and found an E-Mail from Jack saying: You might want to see this! Rex curiously clicked the E-Mail and found it saying: I went to see Jax and found something rather interesting to see what I'm talking about see the video clip I took with my cell phone! It read. Goodwin clicked the attachment and saw it was in the hospital room with his granddaughter kissing Jax.
"Jack you naughty boy… I was somehow expecting this but not his soon, what caused her to confess this soon?" he asked himself
BACK AT THE HOSPITAL…
"Okay, you're all clear to go," said the doctor
"Um, sir, do I have to stay off the runner for a while?" asked Jax
"Um, you can still use your runner as long as you take it easy." Said the doctor
"I will, sir." Said Jax as he headed for the exit. There in a patient parking was his runner under police guard. Thanks for guarding my runner." Said Jax as he got on, placing his helmet on and driving off, feeling a little hungry, Jax stopped by a corner store and walked in examining the snacks for sale and picked up an energy bar. And going up to pay for it, he noticed on the newspaper front page the headlines said: SONIKA UPROOTED: shocking evidence of some of New Domino's Elite being involved in a dangerous dueling crime syndicate who stand trial! At that Jax bought the paper as well and left and sat down on a bench to read it.
ONE WEEK LATER…
Jax watched on the TV with his fellow signers and Rika in Goodwin's office as many newly discovered top operatives in Sonika were lead to the vehicles to take them to the detention center. "Well, I feel kind of glad now that that's over with!" said Jack as he stood up.
Aki looked at Jax. "Now that Sonika is pretty much devastated after this, what are you going to do now?" she asked
Jax thought for a moment. "I've been considering taking to travel, I don't really want to spend all my life confined to New Domino, and I want to see the world." Said Jax
Rika still looked depressed about his answer. Goodwin had given approval of her relationship with Jax and the two were very happy together. "If that is what you want," said Goodwin, "There is a group of duelists that travel's the world holding tournaments and those who win have a chance to take on these duelists, As of right now they have an opening for a new member, I could get in touch with them to see if they arte interested in you joining them." He said
"What will I have to do?" asked Jax
"Simple, You duel them." Said Goodwin
"I'm interested." Said Jax
"I'll put in a call to them." Said Rex who picked up the phone and dialed a number.
ANOTHER WEEK LATER…
"Hello duel fans young and old! Welcome to a special appearance of the Duelist Templars! This group has done tournaments all over the world and are here to test out a potential new recruit named Jax Cambell!" declared the commentator
IN ONE OF THE MANY GARAGES IN THE ARENA…
Jax made on last quick check over his runner, the first two duels would be turbo, the middle three would be standard, and another two turbo. As he made one last diagnostic over his runner, he heard the door slide open and Yusei walked in. "Hey, Yusei." Said Jax.
"Jax, there is something I want to give you." Said Yusei. Jax raised an eyebrow Yusei reached into his pocket and pulled out two cards. "They are extras of cards I already have, they should prove useful to you." Said the Dark-haired Satellite native. Jax examined the cards and slid them into his deck.
"Thank you." Said Jax as he mounted his runner.
"Well, here goes something." Said Jax and shot out of the garage and out into the arena to the sound of voices cheering.
"And on to the track right Now is Jax Cambell, rumor has it he wields a Massively powerful Dragon Deck, Will the rumors be confirmed?" called out the Commentator. "And here just coming onto the track right now is Yoshio Mruakami the master of the Six Samurai!" he added as another Duel Runner shot out into the arena it resembled a dark blue version of Yusei's runner with the symbol of the six samurai on the front.
Yoshio pulled up beside Jax. "Sorry to keep you waiting." He said with a smirk. "Let's have some fun." He said, revving up his runner as Jax stood still as a statue.
"Let's ride!" they said in unison as the horn sounded for them to begin and they shot off.
Jax's Speed Counters: 0 LP: 4000
Yoshio's Speed Counters: 0 LP: 4000
"Challenger goes first." Said Jax, drawing a card, and I'll set a card face down and play masked dragon in defense mode!" (3/1400/1100) he said as a red and white dragon with a steel mask emerged. "Your move." He said
Jax's Speed Counters: 1 LP: 4000
Yoshio's Speed Counters: 1 LP: 4000
"Very well then, I draw." Said Yoshio "And I'll summon up The Six Samurai Ioru!" he declared as a dark blue clad samurai with a katana emerged, "I'll now set two cards face down and slay your dragon with Ioru!" he declared as the samurai drew his katana and sliced the dragon's head off. "End turn with that." He concluded
Jax's Speed Counters: 2 LP: 4000
Yoshio's Speed Counters: 2 LP: 4000
"Congratulations, You've triggered my monster's special ability, when it's destroyed in battle, I can special summon a dragon-type monster with 1500 attack or less, and I choose my Armed Dragon LV3!" he declared
IN THE STANDS…
"When did he get that card in there?" asked Leo as he and the others watched the duel from the VIP Tower.
"Must've never had the chance to bring it out." Said Jack, "When I was having a look at his deck I saw it in there." He added.
BACK TO THE DUEL…
"It's my go." Said Jax drawing a card. "And on my standby phase, My armed Dragon LV3's effect activates, allowing me to send him to the grave to call forth Armed Dragon LV5!" he declared as an even more bulky and Muscular Dragon emerged (5/2400/1700)
Jax's Speed Counters: 3 LP: 4000
Yoshio's speed counters: 3 LP: 4000
"Okay, so your dragon gained some weight and some points, so what?" asked Yoshio
"This is what." Responded Jax "I'll play the spell card Level Up, I can send A level monster on my field to the grave in order to summon it's higher form, so I'll send my Armed Dragon LV5 to the grave in order to summon Armed Dragon LV7 (7/2800/1000)!"
"And in response to that I trigger my Trap Card Swiftstrike Armor, Now on my draw phase If I draw a Six Samurai Monster, I can Automatically summon it!" called out Yoshio.
"This makes things interesting." Said Jax "I'll now play the speed Mode spell card Assault Teleport, by returning an assault mode monster in my hand to my deck, and shuffling it, I can draw two cards!" declared Jax as he returned his Red Dragon Archfiend/assault mode to his deck and drew two cards.
"Anything good?" asked Yoshio with a smirk.
"Yes, actually, you will see it now!" said Jax "I'll sacrifice my Armed Dragon Level 7 to summon my Armed Dragon Level 10 (10/3000/2000)!"
"Holy Osiris! Jax just summoned a 3000 attack power monster on his second turn!" exclaimed the commentator
"And that's not all, I'll ditch one card form my hand to wipe out all face-up monsters on your field!" declared Jax as his Armed Dragon LV10 gathered a ball of shadowy energy and slammed it into Yoshio's Six Samurai Ioru obliterating it with the effect. "I will now slam you for 3000 points of damage with a direct attack!" declared Jax
"Not so fast, Go facedown: Return of the Six Samurai, when I activate this I can special summon a six samurai monster in my grave!" called out Yoshio as Ioru came back to the field
Jax sighed, "Fine, I'll attack your monster… again." He said as Armed Dragon LV10 struck Ioru down. "You're up." Said Jax
Jax's Speed Counters: 4 LP: 4000
Yoshio's Speed Counters: 4 LP: 4000
"Then it's my draw." Said the samurai duelist "and thanks to my Swiftstrike armor trap card, I'll special summon Six Samurai Zanji (4/1800/1300), and seeing as that was a special summon, I'll normal summon Six Samurai Nisashi (4/1400/700)" said Yoshio with a laugh as two samurai appeared one wielding a spear and dressed in amber-colored armor, and one dressed in green armor and holding two Katanas that looked like Lightsabers, "And Now I'll attack your Armed Dragon LV 10 with My Six Samurai Zanji!" Called out Yoshio
"Like hell I'm going to let you trigger the ability that occurs when you have an additional six samurai monster on the field, go Trap: Shadow Spell, When I trigger this Trap, I select one of your monsters, that monster can't attack or change battle position, plus it looses 700 attack." Said Jax
"I guess I'll end my turn." Said Yoshio
"And Mine begins…" said Jax drawing the card, and smirked. "I will now do what many of the author's fans of my story have been begging me to do for a few chapters…" said Jax
"What's that, Lose?" asked Yoshio
"No, Play the card that this fic is named for, but first I'll take care of a little pest control problem by setting a card face down and ditch Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 to trigger Armed Dragon LV10's effect to knock out your samurai!" said Jax, "I'll now play Speed Mode- Level Modulation, You get to draw two cards, and I can special summon a Level Monster from my grave to the field, and I choose the Horus The Black Flame Dragon LV6 I ditched to the grave with Armed Dragon Level 10's effect, I will now Normal summon the Tuner Monster Debris Dragon (4/1000/2000), finally I will tune up Horus Level 6 with Debris Dragon… Dragon kin that come and go, come and aid me here below, serpents one and serpents all, come and heed my Dragon call! Syncro summon:Trident Dragon (10/3000/2800)!"
"Holy Crap, two monsters with 3000 attack?!" exclaimed Yoshio
"Oh don't worry," said Jax "Armed Dragon LV10 won't be staying on the field long now, because I activate Trident Dragon's ability, you see, this monster can only be summoned by Syncro summon, on the turn I do this, I can destroy two cards on my field, in addition to it's normal attack, it can attack once again for each card destroyed by this effect, and I'll take down my Armed Dragon Level 10 ant the card I set at the beginning of the turn and Attack with Trident Dragon Three times!"
"Ladies and Gentleman, Jax has passed the first duel of his test to join the Duelist Templars, we will take a short break and return for the next duel soon!" called out the commentator
"Good duel." Said Yoshio "I hope you will be able to join us." He added offering Jax his hand and Jax shook it.
ONE HOUR LATER…
Jax sat mounted on his runner waiting for his next opponent. And here he is, folks, Michel Greeves!" declared the commentator as this time an emerald green runner entered the arena pulling up beside him,
"You think you can beat me?" he said in a gruff voice.
Jax chuckled "You never know unless you try." Said Jax as he charged up his runner.
"Then Let's go." He said and shot out with Jax on his tail. "As usual in our duels the challenger goes first." Said Michel
"Very well," said Jax, drawing his card.
Jax's Speed counters 1 LP: 4000
Michel's speed counters: 1 LP: 4000
"I'll play Red-Eyes B. Chick in attack mode (1/800/500)," declared Jax "Next I'll play the Speed spell card Total Ampage, when I can only play this one if I have only one speed counter, this one amps up my speed counters by 4, (Speed counters: 15)" said Jax as his runner hit the accelerator and shot out ahead of Michel. "I'll now activate Red Eyes B. Chick's ability, by tributing him, I can special summon Red-eyes Black Dragon (7/2400/2000)!"
IN THE STANDS…
"Whoa, this guy has more dragons in his deck than I can count!" said Rika as she watched her boyfriend play another fearsome dragon.
BACK TO THE DUEL…
"Next I trigger the speed mode spell card Inferno Fire Blast, When I Have a Red-Eyes Black Dragon on the field, in exchange for it not attacking, I can deal 2400 points of damage to you!" said Jax
Jax's Speed counters 1 LP: 4000
Michel's Speed Counters: 0 LP: 1600
"Most impressive, kid, but let's see how you like this!" said Michel drawing his card "And I'll summon Jain the Lightsworn Paladin (4/1800/1200), next I'll equip him with Speed-mode- Lightsworn Sabre, granting Jain with 700 additional ATK (18002500)!" said Michel
"Oh god, Not Good!" said Jax
" Plus when my paladin attacks a monster, she gains 300 ATK, Now attack." (25002800) Declared Michel as his paladin impaled Jax's Dragon shattering it.
Jax's speed counters: 2 LP: 3600
Michel's speed counters: 1 LP: 1600
"And at the end of my turn, I loose the top two cards of my deck." He said sending two cards to the grave." Said Michel sending the proper amount of cards to the grave.
"And my move." Said Jax, drawing his card, "I'll set a monster in defense mode, and set one card face down and finally play Speed Mode- Mystical space typhoon to destroy your Lightsworn Saber, end turn." He said as the sword that Michel's paladin wielded disappeared in a gust of wind.
Jax's speed counters: 3 LP: 4000
Michel's speed counters: 2 LP: 1600
"And Mine begins!" said Michel drawing his card "I'll set one card face down and summon Jenis, Lightsworn Mender in defense mode." Said Michel
Jax's speed counters: 4 LP: 4000
Michel's speed counters: 3 LP: 1600
"That was pretty Anticlimactic." Muttered Jax as he drew his card "I'll Play Speed Mode- Assault Teleport, What I do is take one Assault Mode Monster in my hand and return it to my deck, after it is shuffled, I can draw tow cards." He said drawing his two. "I will now sacrifice My Red-Eyes B. Dragon to special summon my Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon (9/2400/2000)!" he declared as the standard Red-Eyes vanished in a pillar of fire and a far more evil dragon arose from the flames "From the ashes of this dragons fallen brethren, his power shall awaken granting him an additional 300 ATK points for each dragon in the grave!" (24003000)
"Once again you didn't disappoint me with powerful dragons!" Said Michel
"This is Just getting started, I have a massive amount of dragons in my deck just waiting to soar their way to the top!" said Jax "Red Eyes Darkness Dragon, attack Jenis, Lightsworn Mender!" Declared the Dragon Duelist and at his command the Dragon sent Jenis into the fiery depths of hell with his inferno breath.
Excellent, keep destroying my Lightsworn monsters, soon I will have you right where I want you! Thought Michel as his monster shattered "My draw, and I'll set a monster in defense mode and play the spell card Speed Mode- Solar Recharge, by ditching a Lightsworn Monster in my hand to the grave, I can Draw two cards then discard the top two cards of my deck." He said as he sent Wulf, Lightsworn beast from his hand to his graveyard and drawing two cards, then sent the top two cards of his deck to the grave. Excellent, now I have four Lightsworn monsters in my grave, all that's left is for him to nail my face down and my ultimate beast will be unleashed! He thought
"My move." Said Jax drawing his card "And I'll set one card face down and Strike Your Facedown with Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!" declared Jax as his opponent's facedown monster was burned away. "It's your move." Finished Jax
"And Mine begins!" said Michel drawing his card. "And I must thank you for helping me defeat you." Said Michel
Jax's speed counters: 5 LP: 4000
Michel's speed counters: 4 LP: 1600
Jax raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and how did I do that?" asked Jax with curiosity
"By special summoning THIS!" exclaimed Michel I summon the proud and powerful Judgment Dragon!" (8/3000/2600)
"They have equal attack points." Said Jax simply
"It is true that they do, however I activate his special ability, at the cost of 1000 life points, (LP: 1600600) I can wipe out ALL cards on the field except for Judgment Dragon, so say farewell to Red-eyes Darkness dragon," he laughed "as well as 3000 of your life points!" he added as his dragon took a deep breath and launched a spew of white fire from his maw. "Now I must send the top 4 cards of my deck to the grave." Finished Michel
Jax's speed counters: 2 LP: 1000
Michel's speed counters: 4 LP: 600
"Grr…" growled Jax "My move…" he said, drawing his card Okay, he is down to his last 600 life points, so as long as he has no LP gaining spell cards, he should be all right, as for me, I think I have an Idea… he thought. "I'll set a monster in defense mode and Play the speed mode spell: Treasure of heaven, we both draw until we have six cards in our hands." He said as a golden light appeared over the two duelists.
"I already have six cards in my hand." Said Michel
Jax smirked "Then you won't mind if I draw three." He said and at one look from his three new cards, he nodded. "I'll set one card face down and set one monster in defense mode." Said Jax
"Heh, a feeble move." Said Michel as he drew his card, "I activate the continuous trap card Lightsworn savior!" said Michel "as long as this card is on the field, I no longer have to ditch the top cards of my deck, instead I loose two cards from my hand." He said. "Now I'll attack your facedown monster with Judgment Dragon!" he yelled as his dragon decimated his facedown monster.
"Congratulations, you've given me the first step in order to bring you down!" said Jax with a smirk
"Huh?!" exclaimed Michel.
"Yes, for you see, the monster you destroyed was Masked Dragon, who has a special ability that activates when he is destroyed in battle, I can now special summon a Dragon-type monster with 1500 attack or less, and I choose My armed Dragon LV3 (3/1200/900)"
Michel sighed "That ends my turn."
"And begins your destruction!" said Jax drawing his card.
Jax's Speed Counters: 3 LP: 1000
Michel's speed counters: 5 LP: 600
"I'll now activate my Armed Dragon LV3's ability, on the Standby Phase of my turn, I can send Armed Dragon LV3 to the graveyard to special summon form my hand/deck an Armed Dragon LV5!" he announced as his Dragon became even more muscular and bladed. "Oh but the fun doesn't end there, I play Speed Mode- Double Summon, Allowing me to summon twice this round, I will first summon Dark Resonator (3/1300/300)!" said Jax
"A Tuner?!" exclaimed Michel
"Exactly." Said Jax "And I'm tuning up my Armed Dragon LV5 with my Dark Resonator, Dragon Kin that come and go come and aid Me here below, Serpents one and Serpents all Come and heed my Dragon Call Syncro Summon: Stardust Dragon!" (8/2500/2000)
"It's a shame, it's at least 600 ATK points shy of being able to take down my Judgment Dragon." Said Michel trying not to laugh
"Who said I was going to attack with Stardust Dragon?" asked Jax
"Well…I…" stuttered Michel
"My turn isn't over." Said Jax, "For I still have my facedown I placed on my last turn, and now the time has come to activate it: Assault Mode Activate!"
"so the rumors are true that you have an assault mode monster." Said Michel.
"I don't know about these rumors about me, But I Do have this; Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode!" (10/3000/2500)
"Ah, Now it can kamikaze strike Judgment Dragon!"
"Hey, when I said this turn was your destruction, I MEANT IT, because I still have the additional summon I was allowed from the spell I played earlier, and I summon Junk Syncron in attack mode (3/1300/500), and thanks to his special ability, I can special summon a level 2 or less monster in my grave to the field, and I choose my Red-eyes B. chick, (1/800/500) I will now tune up My red-eyes B. Chick with Junk Syncron to summon Armory arm!" (4/1800/1200)
"And Just what the heck are you going to do with that?" asked Michel
"I'm glad you asked, for you see, Armory Arm isn't just a monster, It's a weapon." He explained
"A weapon?!" exclaimed Michel
"Yes, By equipping him to another monster, I can grant the equipped Monster 1000 additional Attack Points and add insult to injury, when the equipped Monster destroys a monster in battle, you loose the destroyed Monsters ATK out of Your LP so I'm equipping Armory Arm to my Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode (30004000), And your Judgment Dragon will get a little judgment laid down on his ass himself, Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode, Attack!" he declared as the amped up Stardust Dragon slashed Judgment Dragon wiping out Michel's Life points
"And with a stunning clash between high attack power dragons, Our challenger seeking to Join the ranks of the Duelist Templars, wins once again, is there any stopping this lean mean dragon summoning machine?!" called out the commentator
In the top box a young man with light brown hair and blue eyes in a white trench coat with metal rivets on it sat pondering this opponent of his. My, my, I believe I finally had a challenge when it comes to dragons
"JAX YOU WERE BRILLIANT!" exclaimed Rika as she glomped him so hard that he hit the floor of his garage beside his runner.
"Like I keep saying, Rika, you seriously need to find a less painful way of greeting me." Said Jax, massaging the back of his head.
Rika smirked "Would this work?" she asked and she kissed him, but then noticed that the rest of the gang was watching. "Do you mind?" she asked venomously, they all got the message and left. She turned back to Jax "Shall we?" she asked and all Jax could do was nodd.
Whoo! took me three days to write this! I'm sorry if at the beginning I dealt with Sonika a little Anticlimactic I hope the duels made up tor it! We won't see the cards that Yusei gave him until the final duel of this challenge I won't comment on what cards Yusei gave Jax If you want hints, watch the second season of Yugioh 5ds and send me Your predictions (I won't comment on it I just want to see if you can guess it!) anyway, the next chapter will be a three parter, I said the next three duels would be ground duels, we will see Horus again! I would Like to thank you people who sent be deck lists, they really come in handy when it comes to this, Note to the person who sent me the lightsworn deck, I hope you liked how I used it and the custom card I designed for it, I noticed too late on the Judgment dragon summoning requirements, I thought it was 5 lightsworns needed, but I noticed it was four too late, I had already written in how the duel went so Please don't bash me for misreading the card! Until next time everyone, May you blessed be!
