Hello again everyone. Well, not much new since last time. Life just continues on, it seems, lol.
Writing wise, not too much new to report. I'm still coming up with stuff for MtM, and also coming up with some stuff for Another. Other than that, I haven't done too much writing really. Mostly a lot of brainstorming in my head. Man, I have too many ideas floating around up there. It feels like it is going to explode some day, hehe.
Last time, Syrus made an appearance at long last, although it seems he is not quite himself, or has taken a drastic change. He knocked Yoshi and Tea both out and took Arya away, while Kevin showed up at the dueling arena to deliver the grim news to Illidan and friends. To make things worse, Kevin tried to keep Illidan within the arena and force him to duel, but instead, Jaden stepped in with Jesse to form a 2 vs. 1 duel while Illidan managed to escape with his friends to save Arya. Will Illidan and Marie make it back to Yugi's home to save Arya, or is their daughter truly gone? And what of Kevin and Syrus? What will become of them now?
Moving along, time for reviews!
Aelsthla-Mental: Yep, that twist was hard to see, lol. Thanks for the comment. Possibly Kevin is possessed, but that's not a for sure thing yet. Eh, if he is possessed, I'm sure he wouldn't need the demon hand to do it. True, Syrus let Tea live, but why is the question, and is that Syrus even? Nicer than he lets on? Possibly, I suppose, lol. You never know what kind of person Syrus is, especially after what he did to Tea and Yoshi. Thanks for the review!
Vyser Dragoon: Yes, a very interesting turn of events. Heh, yes, destruction, mayhem, and confetti always make things much more fun, hehe. Eh, you never know, that may not be Yubel. (/Hears loud yells for mysteriousness.\) But yeah, Syrus fought, if that was really Syrus. Lol, yes, the Syrus Sucker Punch! Nice new move, lol. Maybe a little out of control with those attacks, but it happens. Hmm, interesting tidbit about 5Ds. Ah! Not the Vyser Dragoon Cannon! Oh wait, I'll just clog the cannon with my handy extra large cork. (/Places cork in and watches cannon explode back in your face. Gives a victory sign.\) Lol, I know, I'm a bit insane. Thanks for the review!
Okami Princess: That could be Yubel. You never know. Glad you liked the chapter, and thanks for the review!
x-knight20: Thanks. It's cool about not reviewing. If someone like my dad was in the hospital, I wouldn't do anything either. Like I've always said, personal life first, then other stuff. That always matters the most. I hope your dad gets better soon. Thanks about the Yugi and Seto duel, although that was all ardee really. He wrote up that duel. It's cool about not being able to review for a while. You do what you need to. This story will be around for a while, so no worries. Like I said, take care of personal life first. I hope all goes well in it for you. Thanks for the review!
Metal Overlord 2.0: LOL! Yes, Arya has been kidnapped, which doesn't go well for the happy couple. Hmm, as for Kevin being controlled, it could be by who you're thinking it is, or it could not. I know, quit being mysterious, but that's just me, lol. True about Jesse maybe needing Pegasus's gift. Yes, I made sure the next chapters aren't a repeat of season 3. Heh, when I have I ever completely repeated the shows' duels? Come now, you know me better than that, hehe. Heh, there are many comparisons to DBZ and my story I suppose. I did kind of use DBZ characters as models for some characteristics of some of my characters. I mean, Marie obviously has some of Gohan's qualities (hidden powers), and others have them too. Heh, true, Tea lasted much longer than Chi-Chi, hehe. Thanks for the comments. Yep, things are unraveling quickly and in a very destructive way. The OC making his move? I can't remember which OC you're talking about, sadly, lol. Please remind me, hehe. Thanks for the review!
Ultimate Legendary Master: Yep, quite a bit happened this chapter. It could be Rainbow Dragon that Pegasus gave to Jesse-boy (lol, just fun to call him that), or it could be some other card. Never know. Hmm, is that Yubel? You never know, it could be someone else, or it could be her I suppose. I know, quit the mysterious stuff already, lol. If it is her, she could be behind all of this, or not. I suppose the duel could be somewhat like how Jaden and Jesse teamed up against Marcel in season 3. Hmm, is Lucifer being controlled by Lucifer? That's a good question, now isn't it? I think you'll find your answer soon. Yes, only I know, and ardee, and my mate, if she remembers… Heh, the graduation wasn't bad. It only sprinkled enough to cool things off really, which made it dip down into the 50's I think. So, it was cool and breezy, making it very lovely out. I wish you luck on yours. Just don't invite me, that way it for sure won't rain, lol. Thanks for the review!
Well, that's it for the reviews. Thank you to each of you for your reviews. They were interesting and helpful as always. I really do like reading them. They're very helpful in helping my writing style. Heh, it's still evolving after all this time.
It just dawned on me that I've been working on this series for a very long time. I began it back in my senior year of college, which was back in the end of the summer of 04. Here it is, four years later, with me having four stories to this series. I must say, this series has been on a very long run. It's kind of sad I guess to see it is coming to an end, but at the same time, kind of nice to see it will end soon. I've really loved working on it, but it's time this series is put to bed. I think Illidan and Marie will look forward to a well deserved retirement, lol. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm done writing by no means, just so everyone knows. I have no intentions of quitting, not by a long shot. I have much work left to do on Another, then I have a bunch of one-shots to complete, plus other story ideas. So don't think for a moment that the half demon will be riding off into sunset once this series ends. This maybe my first series, but it's not the end of my writing.
Anyways, I'm done for today, so I hope you all like this chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 19
Drawing his sixth card, Jaden slapped it to his Duel Disk. "I'll kick things off by summoning Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800/1200)!"
Emerging onto the field in a spray of bubbles was a man wearing a white cape, with two silver air tanks on his back, a light blue helmet that covered all but his mouth, the same colored shoulder pads, gloves, and boots, with dark blue filling in the spaces missing, and a small blaster like attachment on his right arm. He had a small smile on his face, seemingly confident in his abilities.
"Whenever Bubbleman is summoned and I have nothing on my field, I'm allowed to draw two more cards!"
Snapping off two cards, Jaden smiled and said "Sweet cards! I activate one of them, the equip spell Bubble Rod! This card hooks my Bubbleman up with 800 more attack points (800 + 800 1600/1200)!"
Materializing in the blue warrior's right hand instantly was a blue mace like weapon with red bumps on the top of it.
"Way to bubble up those points Bubbleman. Next up, I play the spell E – Emergency Call! With this, I can go searching through my deck and add any Elemental Hero to my hand."
Pulling his deck out, Jaden fanned out and finally found the card he wanted. Showing the card, he calmly said "I pick this, my Elemental Hero Burstinatrix."
Shuffling his deck back together, he placed it back into it's slot and picked another card from his left hand to play. "Now I play the spell card Double Fusion! This card is very handy, because now I can have two Fusion Summons this turn. I'll begin by fusing together Elemental Heroes Avian (1000/1000) and Burstinatrix (1200/800) to create the Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100/1200)!"
Materializing slowly onto the field was a green feathered warrior, along with a woman in a red jump suit with black fanned out hair. The two swirled together, forming a creature that had a red dragon head for a right arm, a mostly green and black body, with a long red tail, and a white wing on it's left shoulder. The creature's head was mostly black with some red, and it's eyes were red.
"Don't get too comfortable with Flame Wingman, because next up, I use Double Fusion to fuse him and Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600/1400) together to form the Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman (2500/2100)!"
A blue and gold armored warrior with electricity flowing around his body appeared onto the field beside of the green combo warrior. Swirling together, a blinding beam of light formed on the field. From the light, a set of metallic wings with razor sharp feathers appeared. As the light faded, more of the creature became apparent. Next was it's powerful white legs, then it's torso, followed by it's powerful white armored arms, and at long last the creatures helmeted head. The only skin seen was on the creature's neck, which was a shade of green.
"Want more, well check out this special effect action! For every Elemental Hero in my Graveyard, Flare Wingman gains 300 attack points. At my last count, I have four total, meaning Flare Wingman gains 1200 extra points (2500 + 300 4 3700/2100)!"
Glowing brighter, the white armored warrior raised his arms up slightly while gaining his new found power. Lowering them, the warrior's green glow died down a bit, but still remained bright.
"I'll end with a face down. Take it away Jesse!" (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 8000)
Smiling at Jaden's field, Jesse exclaimed "Nice moves partner! Now let me show you what I got!"
Drawing his next card, Jesse slapped the card horizontally onto his Duel Disk, saying "I start by summoning my old friend, Crystal Beast Emerald Turtle (600/2000) in defense!"
Materializing onto the field with a bright glow was an eight sided green emerald gem. The gem slowly glowed to life, and in a flash, the gem was gone and a blue turtle shell with green emerald spikes sticking out appeared. Inside of the front of the shell was a pair of green eyes, seemingly hiding from everything outside.
"I'm not through yet, for I play the spell Double Summon! This little baby allows me to summon another monster, so I'll pick my Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger (1600/1000)!"
Emerging onto the field was a bit of a roughly cut topaz colored gem. Glowing to life, a white tiger with black stripes, a sharp silver fang like horn on his head, sharp fangs, and four silver fang like spikes, each on one leg appeared. The tiger let out a low growl, seemingly trying to strike a bit of fear into Kevin.
"I'll end my move with two face down cards. Let's see what you got Kevin!" (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 8000)
"Those two have a good start going for them." Bastion commented.
Nodding in reply, Hasselberry added "The Serge has an all star lineup, and Jesse has a nice start too. No way this freak is going to beat them!"
In a low, quiet whisper, Alexis mumbled "I know you can do this Jaden."
In the dueling ring, Kevin drew his card and began chuckling in a feminine voice and sneered at Jaden. "You'll pay for what you done to me, Jaden. Once I'm through with you and your little friend, you'll be begging for me to take you back."
"I don't even know who you are to begin with, so I don't think I'll be asking to go back." Jaden replied with a clueless expression on his face.
"You'll see, soon enough." the feminine voice replied. "I set this monster and activate the spell Book of Taiyou. With the help of this spell, I can flip my face down monster into face up attack mode. Reveal yourself my Big Eye (1200/1000)!"
The horizontal card image vanished from the field and gave way to a reddish muscular creature with several blue eyes on it's body, with one being at the top and another under it. It wore green shorts on it's lower half and had rippling abs.
"Thanks to my monster's flip effect, I'm allowed to look at the top five cards on my deck now and then placed them back in any order I so choose."
Picking up five cards, Kevin examined them momentarily before placing them in a new order. Finishing, he slid all five back onto the top of his deck and smirked. "Next, I activate the spell Monster Gate! I must sacrifice a monster, so be gone Big Eye!"
Slowly, the red eye creature vanished from the field, only to be replaced by a large circular portal with shimmering blue light.
"Monster Gate now allows me to pick up cards from the top of my deck until I draw a monster. If that monster can be special summoned, I'm allowed to put it into play."
Gasping in shock, Jesse growled lowly. "Jay, he used that Big Eye monster to spy on the next five cards, meaning he could have picked a powerful monster to be the top card."
"Yeah, I know. This isn't looking well." Jaden commented.
Smirking at the two, Kevin replied "It sure isn't. I draw, and wouldn't you know it, it happens to be a very powerful monster indeed. I summon Ultimate Obedient Fiend (3500/3000)!"
Slowly walking out of the blue shimmering portal was a red creature that looked like a massive devil. It had three eyes with four buttons on it's forehead. On the sides of it's head where ears were supposed to be were two large golden horns. The creature's chest had what looked like teeth that were clenched. Letting out a massive roar, the creature made the duel ring shake a bit.
"Do you like it Jaden? I see how you're trembling in fear already." Kevin's feminine voice taunted.
Growling lowly, Jaden shot back "I'm not afraid. After all, Flare Wingman has more than enough power to take that thing on!"
Sighing lightly, Kevin nodded and the female voice replied "True you are Jaden, but not for long! I activate the spell Pot of Greed, meaning I can draw two more cards."
Picking up two more cards, Kevin smirked. "I activate two copies of this, my Fiend Sanctuary! With them, I can special summon two Metal Fiend Tokens (0/0)!"
Materializing slowly onto the field were two small creatures made up of metal spheres that gradually got larger in a hunched over stance.
Darkly chuckling, Kevin stared straight at Jaden. "Now I will use all three of these creatures to bring out your worst nightmare Jaden. This card will show you that you shouldn't get rid of such powerful cards."
"What are you talking about?" Jaden asked with confusion on his face.
"You don't remember these cards either, do you Jaden? It's a shame, especially since you last saw them last year. Remember the fear you held for them? The pure terror that made you want to not face them?" the feminine voice questioned.
Eyes widening suddenly, Jaden exclaimed "But those cards are gone! I sent them away!"
"Well, they've returned!" the female voice declared. Slapping a card to his Duel Disk, Kevin's feminine voice yelled out "I sacrifice all three of my monsters to summon one of the three Legendary Demons! Rise up Raviel, Lord of Phantasm (4000/4000)!"
Rising up from the stage behind Kevin was a thick purple fog, which seemed to be forming a cloud. Through the cloud came two massive blue wings with thin see-through skin, large blue horns at the top, and powerful sharp talon like claws attached to purple hands came out of the darkness. Slowly, the cloud diminished, and the rest of the creature came into view. It's body consisted of purple and light blue. It had massive chiseled out abs, muscular arms and legs, and finally a strong head with a strange crown like set of horns. The creature let out a massive roar, making the very arena shake.
Laughing manically, Kevin pointed an angry finger at Jaden. "STARE INTO THE FACE OF THE CREATURE THAT WILL HELP BRING YOU DOWN JADEN!" the female voice blasted.
Staring at the creature in disbelief, Jaden fell to his knees. Falling to his hands, he squeezed his eyes shut tightly. "No, it can't be! It just can't be! I gave those cards to Yami to take away! So how are they back!?"
Noticing Jaden's fallen form, Jesse called out "Jaden, you got to get up partner! We have to take Kevin down!"
"I don't know if I can…" Jaden lowly said. "Last year, when I fought The Legendary Demons, I nearly lost. Illidan fell protecting me, but in the end gave me the only chance to beat them. Then there was two years ago when I fought them. Professor Banner gave me a card to beat them with, and I barely did that. I don't think I can beat them again…"
"Hog wash!" Jesse fired back. "Jaden, you've beaten these things more times than anyone else, so you can't tell me that you don't think you can't beat them. I know you can, because we all believe in you. Heck, I believe in you, so get up and help me take those things down!"
Opening his eyes, Jaden looked over at Jesse's serious face and realized how determined he was. Slowly nodding, he stood up and looked at his deck. Images of all his monsters appeared in his head, seemingly all calling for him to fight on.
With new determination, Jaden nodded and said "Alright, we'll fight them!"
"Together!" Jesse added with a smile.
Both nodded to one another and turned hard glares towards Kevin. "Hear that Kevin, we'll fight you tooth and nail to beat you!" Jesse declared.
Chuckling, the feminine voice replied "I see, then I shall enjoy cleaving you two up. I place a card face down and end my turn." (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 8000)
Looking at the blue and purple creature with wide eyes, Hasselberry softly growled to himself. "That's the thing that me and Syrus fought last year. This isn't good for the Serg…"
"Indeed, this is very bad for him and Jesse. Raviel alone is more than enough trouble for Jaden and Jesse." Bastion commented. Glancing at Jaden, he added "But still, Jaden is an equation alone that cannot be defeated by brute force. If I know Jaden, he'll figure out a way to win this duel."
"He just can't give up. If he does, who knows what will happen to him!" Alexis worriedly added.
Crossing his arms, Chazz muttered "Come on Slacker, wipe this guy out."
On the field, Jaden picked up a new card and examined it carefully. Finally, he said "I have a question there Kevin. How did you come into possession of those cards?"
Lightly chuckling, the female voice said "I shall gladly tell you. I received them from my Master, the same one that Viper worked for. He sent them to me, telling me to use them to eliminate anyone who got in my way."
"You won't be doing anything once I'm done with you!" Jaden fiercely declared. "I activate the spell card Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three new cards. Once I'm done, I must discard two to my Graveyard."
Snapping off three new cards, Jaden examined them for a second and picked two. With a patient hand, he placed the two cards into his Duel Disk's Graveyard Slot, saying "I'll toss out Elemental Heroes Neos and Wildheart."
Watching both get sucked in, Jaden smiled slightly. "With those two new monsters in my Graveyard, Flare Wingman's attack points go up another 600 (3700 + 2 300 4300/2100)!"
Glowing with fresh green energy, the white armored warrior let out a soft battle cry while preparing to fight.
"Flare Wingman, take down Raviel with Shining Emerald Orb!"
Letting out a small battle cry, the white armored warrior flew into the air and held his hands out. Green energy flooded between it's hands, forming a sphere. Without hesitation, the warrior tossed the blast straight towards the towering blue and purple creature.
Smirking at the oncoming blast, Kevin clicked a button on his Duel Disk, making the face down card he had rise up. In an arrogant tone, the feminine voice said "I play my trap, Skill Drain! I must first give up 1000 life points, but that's a very small amount since this card does so much. Since I just gave up points, all monster effects are negated."
Both Jaden and Jesse gasped in shock while all five monsters on the field glowed with a light red aura.
"Oh, and by the way Jaden, that means your Flare Wingman just got weaker (2500/2100). With him attacking, that means he's going to lose this fight with Raviel."
The emerald energy sphere struck the large blue and purple creature and exploded, but no damage was done to the creature. Stepping forward, the creature raised a clawed hand and glared at the shining green white warrior.
Sneering, Kevin's feminine voice said "Raviel, cleave that monster up with Shimmering Slash!"
All five claws on the purple and blue creature instantly glowed to life with a light blue light. Sending it's massive hand flying towards the white armored warrior, the creature let out a small groan.
"Not so fast Kevin, I play my face down spell, De-Fusion! This splits Flare Wingman back apart into Elemental Heroes Flame Wingman (2100/1200) and Sparkman (1600/1400), with each going into defense!" Jaden hurriedly declared.
Glowing with a white flash, the white armored warrior split apart just in the nick of time when the claws of the large blue and purple creature were about to hit. Reforming onto the field were the black and green creature with a white wing and the blue and gold armored warrior, each in a kneeling stance.
"Clever Jaden, very clever." the feminine voice mocked.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Jaden picked up the remaining vertical positioned monster card and shifted it to a horizontal position. "I switch Bubbleman to defense and call it a turn." (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 7000)
Releasing a breath she had been holding, Alexis worriedly looked at Jaden. "Jaden... I know you can do this. I believe in you Jay. You can do anything you set your mind to, so go kick Kevin's butt!"
"This does not bode well for Jesse and Jaden." Bastion stated. "Without monster effects, neither have a clear advantage."
"But they still have plenty of monsters!" Hasselberry argued.
Shaking his head, Bastion returned his view to Jaden and Jesse.
"Don't get down Jay, we'll beat Kevin yet. We just got to trust in our decks." Jesse encouraged.
Smiling at the teal haired young man, Jaden nodded and replied "You're right, we're not done yet."
Drawing his card, Jesse pondered on it for a moment before saying "I switch my Topaz Tiger to defense. At that, I'll end my turn." (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 7000)
Grabbing a new card, Kevin sneered and wistfully said "Not much you two can do, now is there? In the meantime, I summon this, my Opticlops (1800/1700)!"
Slowly appearing onto the field was a tan skinned cyclops creature with a horn sticking out of his head. He had sharp clawed hands and toes, and had an impressive muscle build.
"Opticlops, smash Sparkman into oblivion with Earth Slammer!"
Rushing forward, the cyclops leapt into the air and slammed a heavy fist into the weaker blue and gold warrior, which let out a cry before exploding, leaving Jaden covering his face from the smoke.
"Raviel, cut his pathetic Flame Wingman to ribbons with Shimmering Slash!"
Stepping forward, the blue and purple creature let out a small roar while it pulled it's right clawed hand back. All five claws glowed to life with light blue energy. In a quick slashing motion, the creature sank all five claws into the green and black warrior, who let out a cry of agony before shattering, leaving Jaden covering his face once more from the explosion.
"I shall end my turn at that Jaden. Are you afraid yet?" (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 7000)
Softly growling, Jaden quickly drew his card and fired back "I'm not afraid of you Kevin!"
Looking at the card, he frowned. "Air Hummingbird would be great to use right now, but without his effect, he's a sitting duck. Man, I could take down Raviel, but with that trap out, I can't even touch it. I guess I'll just have to fend for myself for now."
Glancing over at Jesse, he noted the young man was staring seriously at Kevin's field. "I can only hope Jesse defends me if I get in trouble."
"I'll pass this turn." (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 7000)
Quietly drawing a new card, Jesse examined the card and finally smiled. "I'll throw down a face down card and summon my Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle (1400/800) in defense."
Glowing to life on the field was a cobalt blue stone. Shining brightly, the gem vanished and in it's place was a brown eagle with an orange like mane of feathers that rolled down his back. Around his chest was some kind of plate with blue on it. On each of his wings, near the tips, was a blue rounded stone. Fully on the field, the bird pulled it's wings in and sank down onto a horizontal card image.
"I think that's enough for now. Have a go at it Kevin." (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 7000)
Snorting, Kevin drew and looked at his card for a moment, but was quickly interrupted by Jesse. "Hold on there Hos! Before you begin, I play my trap, Dust Tornado! With this, I get to destroy one spell or trap on your field. That Skilled Drain looks like a perfect card!"
Blowing up onto the field was a brown twister, which quickly struck the card image of Kevin's trap, shattering it instantly.
"With that thing gone, all our monsters regain their special abilities!" Jesse informed.
Smiling, Jaden called out "Great job Jesse!"
"Thanks Jay."
"Are you two done!?" the feminine voice cut in with annoyance ringing clearly. "I summon Archfiend Soldier (1900/1500)!"
Forming on the field was a purple skinned warrior with curled up blue horns on it's head, a sword on it's right side, and a black cape on it's back.
"Opticlops, eliminate Jaden's last defense with Earth Slammer!"
Leaping into the air once more, the tanned skin cyclops began his descent quickly and slammed a heavy right fist into the blue armored warrior, who cried out in pain before shattering into millions of pixels.
Softly growling, Jaden called out "Oh yeah, well you just triggered Bubble Rod's effect! When it goes to the Graveyard, I draw a card from my deck."
Watching Jaden draw his card, Kevin shrugged and chuckled darkly. "That maybe so Jaden, but what will protect you now from Raviel!"
Roaring loudly, the blue and purple creature took a step forward and flexed it's right clawed hand. "Raviel, eliminate Jaden from this duel and repay him for the pain he's caused us both! Shimmering Slash!"
Pulling it's clawed hand back, the blue and purple creature sent light blue energy into it's claws, making all five glow brightly.
"Not happening, because I'm defending my partner!" Jesse cried out. "Cobalt Eagle, go protect Jaden!"
"I'm on it boss!" the eagle replied and unfurled it's wings. With massive beats of it's wings, the eagle quickly rushed in front of Jaden, just in time to take the hit from the glowing light blue claws. The eagle screeched out in pain and quickly exploded, leaving a puff of smoke in it's wake.
Slowly, on Jesse's field, a glow formed, taking shape of the blue crystal that the eagle had came from.
Staring at the new crystal, Kevin frowned. "What is that?" the feminine voice demanded.
Smirking, Jesse replied "That would be the secret power of my Crystal Beasts. You see, when one is beat in battle, they're not destroyed. They come back in my Spell/Trap Zone as a Precious Crystal. In other words, they're treated as Continuous Spell Cards. I can't really use them for anything, but the secret behind them will be known soon enough."
"Whatever…" the feminine voice growled. "I move to attack Jaden directly with Archfiend Soldier! Fiend Slash!"
Throwing his cape behind him, the purple skinned warrior rushed forward and drew his sword.
"Not if I protect Jaden again! Emerald Turtle, lend Jay a hand!" Jesse called out.
"Can do Jesse!" the turtle called back. His shell suddenly began spinning rapidly. Without warning, the shell slid across the field to in front of Jaden. The oncoming soldier struck the shell hard with his sword, but the sword snapped in half. Seeing this, the purple skinned warrior retreated to Kevin's field.
Growling softly, the feminine voice snarled "You will pay dearly for getting involved in mine and Jaden's fight!"
"I'm not worried. Jaden is my buddy, and I won't let anything befall him that could hurt him. If you want to get to Jaden, you'll have to get through me!" Jesse fiercely declared.
Glaring at Jesse, Kevin harshly said "I end my turn!" (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 6900)
Quietly picking up a card, Jaden smiled at it and calmly said "I have no idea who you are, but we're going to evict you from Kevin's body! I'll begin by playing this, my O – Over Soul! This handy spell allows me to resurrect a Normal Type Elemental Hero from my Graveyard and put it back on the field. My choice is rather simple, my Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000)!"
Appearing onto the field was a blue O. From the O emerged a powerful white warrior with a slicked back horn on his head and spikes coming out from his elbow joints touched down onto the ground. He had a bit of red lining on his body, along with a bit of blue as well. On his chest was a blue circle.
Glaring at the white warrior, Kevin snarled. In a deep, angry voice, the female voice growled out "Neos, the very monster that caused all of this trouble! It's your fault Jaden betrayed me and now refuses to remember me!"
Confused, the white warrior looked to Jaden with a puzzled look. Shrugging, Jaden replied "Don't look to me for answers. I have no clue what that voice is talking about myself. In the meantime, I'll summon my Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird (800/600)!"
Materializing onto the field from a green glow was a red bird warrior with white wings on his back and clawed hands. Sticking his chest out, he planted his hands onto his hips, seemingly posing.
Nodding towards the white warrior and the red bird warrior, Jaden said "Neos, Hummingbird, do your thing! Initiate Contact Fusion!"
Flying high above the field, the white warrior hovered over top of the red bird. Slowly, the two slid together, forming a blinding white light. Emerging from the light was a red skinned warrior with large white wings on his back. His hands had brown like gloves that ran up to nearly his elbows, and on his feet were brown like boots. On the warrior's chest was the same symbolic circle that the white warrior had previously had.
"Meet my Elemental Hero Air Neos (2500/2000)! And check out his sweet special ability. Whenever your life points are higher than my own, which they are right now, Air Neos gains attack points equal to the difference in our life points."
"DO WHAT!?" the feminine voice roared.
Smirking, Jaden replied "I said my monster gains the difference in our points. Right now, the difference is 3400, meaning Neos is going to get stronger (2500 + 3400 5900/2000)!"
Glowing with a bright green glow, the red skinned warrior let out a small yell while his power increased.
"Air Neos, take down Raviel with Arial Blades!"
Unfurling it's wings, the red warrior beat it's heavy wings downwards a few times to get high into the air. Taking aim, the warrior made a slashing motion with each wing, sending out two white blades of energy. Each blade cut into the large blue and purple creature, which howled in pain before finally exploding.
Kevin screamed out in pain from the explosion and fell to one knee. Looking up at Jaden with tears threatening to fall, the feminine voice cried out "WHY ARE YOU HURTING ME, JADEN!? DON'T YOU REMEMBER YOUR PROMISE THAT YOU MADE TO ME THAT YOU'D NEVER HURT ME!? DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?"
Completely confused, Jaden sorrowfully said "I'm truly sorry, but I don't know who you are. I do know if I made a promise like that, I'd remember it. And even if I had made that promise, I can't accept how you're treating Kevin. Snatching his body away and using it as a puppet is wrong!"
Pausing for a moment, he added "And besides, I can't stand by and do nothing. You said Illidan's daughter, Arya, was in trouble! If you had something to do with it, then you don't deserve mercy. That's why I'm playing this spell card, my Contact Out! With it, I can send Air Neos back to my Fusion Deck, but then special summon from my deck both Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) and Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird (800/600)."
Glowing slightly, the red warrior with white wings faded away from the field, only to be replaced by the powerful white warrior with a slicked back horn and the red bird warrior once more. The red bird warrior instantly dropped into a kneeling position on top of a horizontal card image.
"Neos, take out Opticlops with Cosmic Crush!"
Lifting a knee, the white warrior went rocketing across the field. With only a foot before the tanned skin cyclops, the warrior leapt into the air and shot his right hand out. Coming down hard, the white warrior made a chopping motion and slammed his hand into the tanned skin cyclops. The cyclops buckled under the powerful hand and exploded into millions of pieces, leaving only the purple skinned warrior behind.
Taking the remaining card in his hand and sliding it into a Spell/Trap Slot, Jaden calmly said "I'll throw down a face down and let Jesse pick up where I left off." (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 4300)
"Nice moves partner!" Jesse congratulated.
Smiling back, Jaden nodded and somberly replied "Thanks. We need to finish this up and catch up with Illidan and the others. I hope Arya is alright."
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll get there in time." Jesse commented. Drawing his card, he added "In the meantime, it's time for me to take it to Kevin! I summon Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat (1200/400)!"
With a light glow, a purple gem materialized onto the field. With a bright glow, the gem vanished, only to be replaced by a tall pink female cat with a golden crest, that looked like it had wings and a purple gem in the center of it. Off of each of her feet, there were golden like strips as well.
"Next up, I switch my Topaz Tiger and Emerald Tiger into attack mode."
Both the white tiger and the blue turtle suddenly stood up, with the turtle coming out of it's shell at long last. It had blue skin and numerous green gems on it's skin.
"If you hadn't noticed, your monsters are too weak to destroy my Archfiend Soldier." Kevin's feminine voice irritably commented.
Jesse only lightly chuckled at this while the white tiger smirked. "Why don't you tell our friend about my special ability?" he commented.
"Sure will." Jesse replied. "You see, when Topaz Tiger battles another monster, he gains 400 attack points (1600 + 400 2000/1000). Topaz Tiger, attack his last line of defense with Incisor Slash!"
Roaring softly, the white tiger gracefully bounded across the field and leapt high into the air. It came flying down hard into the purple skinned warrior, which let a shriek out when the tiger's claws dug into it, making it explode.
"With nothing left, I can attack you in earnest. Emerald Turtle and Amethyst Cat, direct attack!"
Pulling it's body back into it's shell, the blue shelled turtle's shell began spinning while the emerald crystals on it's back glowed to life. A shower of emerald spikes went flying across the field, striking Kevin over and over, making him grunt out in pain. The pink cat in the mean time bounded across the field and leapt into the air gracefully. Coming down fast, she sank her claws into Kevin, making him grunt even more with pain.
Glaring hard at Jesse, the feminine voice of Kevin screamed "THIS FIGHT IS BETWEEN ME AND JADEN!"
"Not so long as I'm around. I won't let you harm Jaden." Jesse vowed. "He's my friend, and I can't allow you to do any harm to him."
"You will pay for your insolence!" Kevin's female voice barked back.
"Maybe, but I aim to stop you and save Kevin also. By the way, you caught a break just now. Whenever Amethyst Cat attacks someone directly, she only does half her original attack points worth of damage. You got luck and only took 600. At any rate, I play my Emerald Turtle's effect, putting him into defense mode. That does it for me." (Jaden 3500, Jesse 4000; Kevin 3000)
