Hey everyone! Well, this past week wasn't too bad. Saturday, I spent the day helping my dad brush hog (mow pretty much) his fields, which was semi-fun, other than I was driving one handed all day due that I had a bottle in my hand. I should have threw it off, but I didn't, lol. Anyway, Sunday, I went and saw my grandparents. My sister and her boyfriend happened to come up the same day, so it was all good. Poor grandpa, he was a little fussy about lunch. He wanted pancakes, which isn't abnormal because they're seemingly his favorite now, but my granny was trying to feed him chicken, dumplings, green beans, and mashed potatoes. He finally ate most of his dinner, and she fixed him a pancake later just for desert, which made him happy, lol. Him and my sister were funny, with my sister joking with him. She can always seemingly get him to smile, which I'm glad. Other than that, life has been semi quiet I suppose, with my mate and I preparing for our vacation next week. I can't wait for it. I could use some relaxation time, plus our anniversary (marriage) is Monday, so yay! We've gone 2 years now, so good times all around. Plus, we've been together 7 ½ years all together, so it's all going well. I'm so lucky to still be with her.
Writing wise, I'm trying to get some work done on this story, while at the same time work on Another. Ack, it's hard to split my time, lol.
Last time, Zane defeated Zell in a thunderous way and ended the spirit's journey towards control of Dark World. With Zell's defeat, Syrus was released, but the duel seemed to have taken it's toll on Zane, physically and mentally. Upon resting for a while, Zane found himself in a deadly new struggle between himself, the opportunistic Darren, and Jesse, who is controlled by Yubel. The question now is, who will win this three way duel? And more importantly, will anyone be left standing at the end?
Moving along, time for reviews!
Raymond Barrett: Yep, he's gone to the dark side, lol. It had better pay and benefits, go figure. But yes, he gave into his rage and anger, forcing him to sacrifice all that he held within his heart to the darkness to overpower his opponent. Yeah, Zell's points increased drastically, but in the end, he got crushed and what he deserved. Thanks for the review!
Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks. Yes, that is true about Chimeratech not being able to attack directly, but I figured the duel needed to end, so why not bend the rules, lol. True, the show messed that one up also in season 2, like many a things. That's a good question about whether Zane will make it or not. He may, but he's pretty tired already, plus his deck continues to tax him. We'll see what happens. Yep, I saw that the new episodes are out through 155, which makes no sense to why they didn't put 156 out… I mean, one more episode and the season would be over for crying out loud! But yes, the storyline was totally thrown to the wayside by 4Kids. They just ruined the story completely by removing Yubel's love stories and so on, but oh well. I didn't figure they would remain. Thanks for the review!
philosopher-kaiser: Ah, I didn't notice that in the card text. Good catch on that, and had I noticed, I may have done something different. Oh well, no use in complaining about it now I suppose. Thanks for telling me. True, the multi-attacking is meant for monsters alone, not direct attacks, so he'd have taken out Zell's monster and that was it, but it wasn't enough damage, so I threw it on in. I'm fairly certain the Cyber Valley card combo may have been over used too, due that I couldn't accurately track what should have been left at the end. That is my fault for not keeping better track. The combo was actually ardee's idea, which I must say, was pretty good. He actually wrote that duel, but I just did my usual thing and made sure it was within range of normalcy like always. Heh, originally, that's what I thought too, that Zane was going to just deck Zell out, but remember, Zane had lost more of his deck to begin with, so he couldn't. That also was a factor in the Cyber Valley combo that I had to think on too, lol. Actually, the Cyber Dragons were a legitimate play. They were removed from play when Overload Fusion was activated. Upon Zane playing Dimension Fusion, they returned, so fusing them together with Power Bond still worked. Then using Cybernetic Fusion Support just removed 2 of them once more, so it all worked out. Anyways, I hope that explains that move a little better. Yes, Darren is in over his head it looks like. Heh, yeah, Darren may have some trouble from Zane and Jesse (Yubel), but we'll see how he does. Never know, he could win it all, lol. Thanks for the review, and for all your help in pointing out the errors in the cards. I'll try to keep from doing it, but like I've said before, it's kind of hard to play it straight all the time. Thanks again!
Well, that's it for the reviews today. Thank you, all three of you, for your reviews. I truly appreciate them. At any rate, I need to run, so I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Later!
Chapter 32
Grabbing a new card, Zane examined it momentarily before feeling a jolt of pain run across his chest, making him grasp it. "Not now! This pain keeps getting worse. I don't know if I'll be able to withstand it for too much longer. But I will do what I must to protect my brother."
Examining his new card, Zane glanced up to see a coffin that he had played last turn slowly reappearing on the field, making Darren and Jesse antsy.
"What is this!?" Jesse demanded.
Chuckling, Zane pointed at the card appearing and said "That would be the card I removed from play last turn with Different Dimension Capsule."
"Impossible!" Darren declared. "First off, it hasn't been two Standby Phases for you, and secondly, I destroyed Different Dimension Capsule on my turn!"
"True, but the card I removed was very special. You see, it's a spell known as Card from a Different Dimension, and when removed from play, it returns to my hand on my following Standby Phase. Once it does, all of us draw two cards." Zane explained.
Shrugging, Darren and Jesse drew their two cards. Zane did the same and then he slapped a new card to his Duel Disk, saying "I summon Cyberdark Edge (800/800)!"
Rising onto the field before him was another machine creature, this one with long metallic wings that had sharp blade feathers. The metallic creature looked like a large bug with a long tail that had a pincher type tail, pinchers on it's mouth, and two stick like arms. The wings on the creature was massive, even larger than it's main body.
Grimacing in pain upon seeing the machine creature, Zane slowly began panting while sweat formed on his forehead and cheeks. In a raspy voice, he said "Like Cyberdark Keel could, this creature can equip a Dragon Type monster to itself. My pick is no surprise to you two, which is Infernal Dragon (2000/0) (800 + 2000 2800/800)."
Appearing onto the field once more was the black dragon with a skin hood around it's face. The machine creature instantly reached out and took hold of the black dragon and plunged wires into it's skin. Instantly, the dragon screeched out in pain, but soon settled down.
"And now, Cyberdark Keel and Cyber Barrier Dragon, attack Darren directly with Keel Strike and Sonic Screech!"
Sending it's tail forward, the black machine dragon struck Darren in the arm, making him cry out in pain as blood sprayed into the air from the attack. He didn't have long to rest though, for the machine dragon with a hood around it's head let out a terrifying screech, which shot a beam of green energy at him. The blast hit home, making Darren scream out in pain and fall to one knee. A moment, later, he stood up, but was panting heavily while glaring at Zane.
"Next, I'll activate Cyberdark Edge's special ability. By cutting it's attack points in half, I can direct attack you Jesse (2800 / 2 1400/800)!"
"What!?" Jesse questioned with a touch of shock.
Smirking, Zane pointed at Jesse and said "Hit him with Sonic Screech Blades!"
Screeching loudly, the machine sent white blades of sound waves flying towards Jesse. The blades instantly made contact and cut into his right shoulder, sending a small spray of blood into the air.
Grabbing his injury, Jesse darkly glared at Zane and coldly said in a mixed voice of Jesse and Yubel "You will pay for that mortal."
"We'll see." Zane smugly commented. "I set a card and end my move." (Darren 4600, Jesse 6600, Zane 7000)
Seething with anger, Darren quickly drew a card and jammed it angrily into a Spell/Trap Slot. "I activate the spell Premature Burial. At a cost of 800 life points, I can resurrect a monster from my Graveyard and equip it with this card. My choice is Inazu the Lightning Prince (1400/700)!"
Reappearing onto the field instantly was the thin warrior dressed in gray armor with a blue cape that reached his ankles.
"Don't get too used to him, because I'm sacrificing him to summon Caius the Shadow Monarch (2400/1000)!"
The gray armored warrior instantly vanished from the field once more, only to be replaced by a warrior in dull gray armor with a long black cape.
"And now, with Caius on the field, I can play his special ability! When summoned, he can remove one card from play on the field, so say goodbye to your pathetic Cyberdark Edge there Zane!"
Forming a sphere of black energy before it's body in both of it's hands, the gray armored warrior tossed it straight at the strange looking machine creature. The blast struck it hard, causing a thunderous explosion and making Zane cover his face from the force of the explosion.
"Oh, and Zane, when Caius removes a card, if that card happened to be a Dark Attribute monster, you lose a 1000 life points!"
Without warning, Zane's body began glowing with a black aura, making him scream out in pain as his life points fell. He instantly fell to one knee, panting heavily and gripping his chest tightly.
"Now that he's out of the way, I can move on. Caius, wipe out Jesse's Topaz Tiger with Shadow Orb!"
Forming another sphere of black energy before it's body, the dull gray armored warrior threw the new sphere at the weaker white tiger.
"Now, now, I'm not allowing you to take out my tiger." Jesse cut in. "I play Amber Mammoth's special ability, forcing you to redirect your attack to him!"
Growling lightly, Darren fired back "Big deal! You'll still lose your creature!"
The blast suddenly curved towards the dark gray mammoth and struck it head on. The mammoth instantly exploded, sending smoke and debris flying into the air.
Slowly, the air thinned, revealing an unfazed Jesse with his life points still the same and an amber crystal sitting in front of him. Infuriated, Darren snarled out "Why didn't you lose any life points!?"
"Really simple there Darren." Jesse smugly remarked. "My field spell has some rather nice perks, for when an Advanced Crystal Beast is about to be destroyed, by discarding an Advanced Crystal Beast from my deck to the Grave, I can reduce the Battle Damage to zero. I just tossed out Advanced Crystal Amethyst Cat (1200/400)."
Growling lowly, Darren roughly jammed a card into his Spell/Trap Zone and snarled out "I end!" (Darren 3800, Jesse 6600, Zane 6000)
Drawing, Jesse smirked and said "I think I'll begin my turn by summoning Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus (1800/1200)!"
Rising up onto the field instantly was a sapphire colored round crystal. The crystal glowed with a black aura for a moment before shattering, revealing a white horse with a black aura surrounding it's body, white wings with orange feathers that had a sapphire colored crystal embedded into each wing, a black horn on it's forehead, and black wrapped near the top of it's hoofs and on the beginning of it's tail.
"With Pegasus being summoned, his effect activates. I can now bring another Advanced Crystal Beast from my deck and special summon it to my Spell/Trap Zone, so I'll pick Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle (300/300)!"
Sifting his deck out, Jesse sorted through it for a moment before picking the card he had declared and sliding it into one of his Spell/Trap Slots. Immediately, a ruby colored crystal formed onto the field before him.
"When Ruby is special summoned like it just was, I can special summon it to the field and also special summon all the other Advanced Crystal Beasts in my Spell/Trap Zones. Since I only have Amber Mammoth, that's alright, so rise up Ruby and Mammoth (300/300) (1700/1600)!"
The ruby and amber colored crystals each suddenly glowed with a black aura for a moment before shattering. From the ruby colored crystal, a small blue creature with four pointed ears, ruby colored eyes, a small cat like body, a black collar around it's neck, and a tail with a sphere of ruby on it's tail appeared. Beside of it, the large dark gray mammoth from earlier in the duel reappeared.
"I'll lead off by having Amber Mammoth attack your pathetic Cyber Barrier Dragon!"
Letting out a charging sound, the dark gray mammoth charged forward and moved it's tusks so that it could slam them into the machine dragon.
"Not happening!" Zane declared. "I play Cyber Barrier Dragon's special ability, allowing it to negate your attack!"
Letting out a screeching howl, the machine dragon with a hood around it's head sunk it's head back into it's hood, causing the four antenna around it's head to extend out. A green barrier instantly formed before the dragon's face. The dark gray mammoth slammed it's fully body weight into the barrier, but only ground against it. At long last, the mammoth gave up and returned to it's master's field.
Smirking evilly, Jesse smugly said "Just what I wanted you to do. Now then, Sapphire Pegasus, take flight and crush his Cyber Barrier Dragon with Dark Sapphire Horn!"
Flapping it's wings hard, the white horse creature took to the air and threw it's head back and let out a loud whinny. Turning it's head back down, it's horn glowed with a black aura.
"I'm not going to allow that to happen! I play the trap Cybernetic Hidden Technology, allowing me to effectively sacrifice a Machine Type monster from my field with the word 'Cyber' in it in order to destroy the attacking monster and to end the Battle Phase. I'll send Cyber Barrier Dragon to my Graveyard!"
Vanishing instantly, the machine dragon with a hood around it's head turned into golden dust as the winged horse that was attacking exploded in mid-air.
Growling lowly, Jesse muttered "Not bad, but don't forget, Pegasus comes back as a crystal!"
Materializing before Jesse upon him saying his words was an almost square cut sapphire colored crystal.
"I think I'll let you off the hook for now." (Darren 3800, Jesse 6600, Zane 6000)
Grabbing a new card, Zane suddenly felt a sharp pain run through his body, making him wince greatly while more sweat poured down his face and he began panting lightly. "The pain keeps getting worse each time I draw. I need to end this and fast!"
Examining his new card, he turned it towards the pair on the field and said "I activate Pot of Greed! This spell allows me to draw two more cards."
Picking up two new cards, he showed one of them, saying "I activate the spell Polymerization, allowing me to fuse the two Cyber Dragons (2100/1600) in my hand to form Cyber Twin Dragon (2800/2000)!"
Rising up onto the field instantly were a pair of machine snake like dragons. The pair swirled together, creating a blinding light. The light soon faded, revealing a twin headed machine snake like dragon with a single tail. Each head instantly let out a mechanical roar.
"Cyber Twin Dragon, strike down Caius with Double Strident Blaze!"
"What!?" Darren roared in surprise.
Without hesitation, the twin headed machine dragon's heads shot out a twin set of golden streams at the gray armored warrior. The twin beams struck the creature at the same moment, making the warrior scream out in pain before shattering into millions of pixels.
"Why you little…" Darren growled out.
Smirking, Zane called out "Now I play my dragon's ability! It can attack twice in a turn, so I'll strike down Jesse's Amber Mammoth! Go Double Strident Blaze!"
Letting out a roar from each head, the twin headed machine dragon shot a beam straight at the weaker dark gray mammoth. The blast struck home, shattering it upon impact and causing smoke to engulf the field. Soon enough, the smoke faded away, revealing an amber crystal beside of the sapphire colored one.
"I discard Advanced Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle (1400/800) from my deck in order to negate the damage." Jesse declared while placing a card into his Graveyard Slot.
Shrugging, Zane pulled another card from his hand and showed it to Darren and Jesse, saying "I activate this spell, De-Fusion! Thanks to this, I can bring back the two Cyber Dragons (2100/1600) I used to create it!"
Glowing with a white aura, the twin headed machine dragon split apart into two separate beams of light. Landing on the field, the two beams reformed as two machine snake like dragons, which each let out a mechanical roar.
"Cyber Dragon, slam his tiger with Strident Blaze!"
Roaring loudly, the machine dragon shot a beam of light blue energy at the white and black tiger, which howled out in pain when struck. It instantly shattered, allowing some of the blast to continue on and strike Jesse, who cried out in pain. A moment later, the pixels of the tiger instantly reformed into a topaz colored crystal before Jesse.
"Is that it?" Jesse arrogantly asked.
Smirking, Zane pointed at Jesse and said "Not quite! Go Cyberdark Keel, destroy Ruby Carbuncle with Keel Strike!"
Sending it's tail racing forward, the black machine dragon plunged it deep into the small blue cat like creature, making it cry out in pain before shattering.
Glaring at Zane, Jesse muttered "Unfortunately, my Spell/Trap Slots are full, so Ruby goes to my Grave."
"Big deal, because you're wide open!" Zane declared. "Direct attack him Cyber Dragon with Strident Blaze!"
Letting out a loud roar, the silver machine dragon launched a beam of light blue energy at Jesse, who crossed his arms to defend himself. The blast struck hard, kicking up dust and dirt. The smoke soon cleared, revealing Jesse glaring at Zane.
"That's it for me." (Darren 3400, Jesse 3500, Zane 6000)
Grabbing a card, Darren examined it and began to darkly chuckle. "It's time I finished you off once and for all Jesse. You've been fun to play with, but this is the end for you! I activate my spell Card of Demise! With it, I draw till I hold five cards, but in five of my Standby Phases, I must discard my entire hand, but I intend to win by then!"
Snapping five cards off of his deck at once, Darren smirked evilly. "I activate the spell Soul Charge! With this, I pay increments of 500 life points for each monster I wish to special summon from my Graveyard. I'll give up 1500 life points to revive my three monarchs! Return now Caius the Shadow Monarch (2400/1000), Granmarg the Rock Monarch (2400/1000), and Mobius the Frost Monarch (2400/1000)!"
Rising up onto the field was three warriors. The first had dull gray armor and wore a black cape, while the next had light brown armor on with a large set of hands, and the last had light blue armor with a dark blue cape.
"I'm not done yet, for I play this ritual spell, Monarch's Crowning! This powerful spell has me check my hand and field for my six Monarch monsters. If I have all six, I send them to my Graveyard and am allowed to summon an all powerful monster known as Enzeru the Divine Monarch (5000/4500)! So, farewell Zaborg the Thunder Monarch (2400/1000), Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch (2400/1000), Raiza the Storm Monarch (2400/1000), Caius the Shadow Monarch, Granmarg the Rock Monarch, and Mobius the Frost Monarch, and hello Enzeru the Divine Monarch!"
After Darren placed all six cards into his Graveyard Slot, the six were sucked in and a brilliant golden glow filled the field. Materializing behind Darren was a massive golden warrior in full body armor rose up. In the warrior's right hand was a massive golden axe. The body of the warrior glowed with a brilliant golden aura. Shifting the axe into it's two hands, the armor of the golden armor of the warrior clanked.
"How is that possible!" Jesse asked in complete surprise and shock.
Smirking at Jesse, Darren smugly said "It just is. I play Enzeru's special ability! Once per a turn, I can activate the special ability of one of my Monarch's. I choose Caius's, which means I can remove a card from the game. I pick Zane's remaining Cyberdark Keel, and since it's a Dark Attribute monster, you lose another 1000 life points!"
Shifting the axe into it's left hand, the large golden creature turned it's right palm towards the weaker black machine dragon. A sphere of darkness instantly formed within the warrior's palm. A moment later, the sphere went racing across the field and slammed into the machine dragon, making it howl out in pain before shattering. The remainder of the blast went on and struck Zane, making him scream out in pain and fall to one knee. Sweat poured down his face while his breathing was erratic and he grasped his chest tightly. Weakly, Zane forced himself back up, but wobbled a bit.
"Looks like you're almost at your limit." Darren smugly remarked. "But there is someone else I need to attend to. Since I just summoned Enzeru this turn, it's effect keeps me from attacking, but I can fix that with my face down spell, which is Quick Attack! Enzeru, destroy Jesse with Golden Axe Strike!"
Grasping hold of the axe's hilt with both hands, the large golden armored warrior drew the axe back over it's head and sent it racing downwards towards Jesse, who only smirked and darkly chuckled.
"I'm thru playing with you Darren." Jesse commented. "I play my trap, Rainbow Path! With this, I sacrifice a crystal off my field and negate your attack. I send Amber Mammoth to my Grave, allowing me to negate your attack!"
Appearing above Jesse instantly was a rainbow colored barrier. The large axe slammed hard into the barrier, sending out rainbow colored sparks. After a few moments of grinding it's axe against it, the golden warrior stopped it's attack and pulled it's axe back.
Growling lowly, Darren snarled out "You…"
"Yes me." Jesse smugly remarked. "And since I just played Rainbow Path, it's secondary effect kicks in, allowing me to place a certain card into my hand. Don't worry, you'll see it next turn since you have to end your turn."
Clenching his jaw tightly, Darren screamed out "I end!" (Darren 1900, Jesse 3500, Zane 5000)
Drawing his card slowly, Jesse darkly chuckled as his voice mixed in with Yubel's. "It's been fun messing around with you Darren, but I have bigger fish to fry at the moment. Why you bothered to come to this world, I don't care, but I'll gladly take your Duel Energy."
"You're insane!" Darren declared. "You have no chance at beating me with those pathetic creatures!"
Smirking evilly, Jesse darkly replied "Who said I was using them to beat you? I'm using a creature whose power outranks even your own. Since I have seven Advanced Crystal Beasts either on my field or in my Graveyard, I can now special summon Rainbow Dark Dragon (4000/0)!"
Glowing with a rainbow coloring, Jesse's Duel Disk's Graveyard shot out four beams of twisted light. The three crystals on his field responded instantly and did the same. The seven beams twisted together in the air and collided together. A blinding rainbow aura flared up, making all but Jesse cover their faces. After a moment, the aura died down, revealing a large black scaled dragon that had a long snake like body, huge black feather wings on the top part, a sharp spike sticking out the top of it's head and off the back of it's head, a pair of wings off the sides of it's head, and golden like pronged wings that didn't move. On the sides of the top part of the dragon were seven jewels, on for each color of the other creatures.
"Not bad, but not good enough to defeat me." Darren smugly remarked.
Smirking, Jesse coolly replied "Maybe so, but watch this! By sacrificing a few of my crystals from my field, I can increase my dragon's attack points by a 1000 for each one (4000 + 1000 2 6000/0)!"
Transforming into two beams of light, the two crystals vanished and their beams shot straight at the dragon's body. The dragon let out a loud roar as it's strength increased.
"NO!!" Darren growled out.
Darkly chuckling, Jesse smugly said "You're finished now, because I play his spell! It's called Rainbow's Force! With it, for this turn alone, if my dragon destroys a monster in battle, you take damage equal to that monster's original attack points. I believe that's game for you."
Eyes widening with terror pouring out of them, Darren roughly shook his head, saying "No, you can't!"
"I can, and I am." Jesse replied with an evil gleam in his orange eyes. "Crush his Monarch with Dark Rainbow Refraction!"
Letting out a terrifying roar, the large black dragon opened it's jaws as rainbow colored energy poured out from within them. After a moment of gathering up it's energy, the dragon spat a stream of rainbow colored energy at the golden warrior, striking it hard. The strike caused a thunderous explosion, sending debris and smoke throughout the field.
"And now Darren, it's time to pay the piper. Your monster's attack points come out of your life points! Farewell fool!"
Opening it's jaws once more, the black dragon spat a blast of rainbow energy straight at a terrified Darren. The blast hit him head on, making him let out an inhuman scream. Zane could only watch with eyes wide open as Darren's human form slowly faded away, leaving nothing behind.
Darkly laughing, Jesse pointed at Zane, saying "You're next Zane, so prepare yourself. I end my turn, so be prepared to lose." (Jesse 3500, Zane 5000)
Glancing back at Syrus, Zane clenched his jaw and returned his vision to where Darren had once stood. Seeing nothing left of the once proud young man, he cast a glance at Jesse.
"Jesse is far more dangerous than I first thought. He coldly got rid of Darren, meaning he won't hesitate to get rid of me. Still, I aim to win this duel, so I will fight on!"
Feeling a jolt of pain in his chest, Zane grimaced in pain and grabbed hold of his chest. "Damn, the pain is increasing. I need to finish this soon, or else I may not last."
"What's wrong Zane? In too much pain to finish?" Jesse mockingly asked.
Releasing his hold on his chest, Zane drew his card and fired back "I'm not done yet! I activate the spell Photon Generator Unit! By sacrificing both of my Cyber Dragons, I can now summon the Cyber Laser Dragon (2400/1800)!"
Letting out a mechanical roar each, the two machine dragons vanished from the field in a golden glow. Rising up onto the field in their place was a snake like machine dragon with a sleek head, several arched spikes sticking out of the creature's body with a blue set of lines running down part of it's body, and on it's tail was a strange six leaf like structure that was closed.
"Why bother with that dragon? It's too weak to take on my Rainbow Dark Dragon." Jesse smugly remarked.
Smirking, Zane smartly replied "Maybe so, but my dragon has a very special ability. You see, once per a turn, it can destroy a monster on the field with 2400 or more attack or defense points."
"Wait, that means…" Jesse began, but was cut off by Zane. "That means your Rainbow Dark Dragon is history! Hit him with Blue Lightning Lash!"
Aiming it's tail at the large black dragon, the machine dragon opened it's leaf like tail to reveal a laser within it. In a flash, a blue blinding beam fired from the laser and struck the large black dragon, making it howl out in pain and cause a large explosion, sending out smoke throughout the field.
Slowly, the smoke began settling, revealing the large black dragon was still on the field and softly growling. "What!? How can that be!?" Zane furiously asked.
Darkly chuckling, Jesse smugly said "It's very simple Zane. Whenever my dragon is in danger of being destroyed, I can send a crystal from my field to the Grave and save it."
Clenching his right fist tightly, Zane lowly growled to himself as the remaining crystal before Jesse faded away. "Great… I'll end my turn." (Jesse 3500, Zane 5000)
"Well then, it looks like you're in for a turn of pain!" Jesse declared while drawing a card. "I activate the spell Crystal Blessing, which allows me to special summon two Advanced Crystal Beasts from my Graveyard and place them into my Spell/Trap Zones. My choices are Advanced Crystal Beasts Emerald Turtle (600/2000) and Amber Mammoth (1700/1600)!"
Materializing onto the field before Jesse with dark auras was a green and amber colored set of crystals. Pointing at Zane, Jesse cried out "Rainbow Dark Dragon, destroy his Laser Dragon with Dark Rainbow Refraction!"
Roaring loudly, the black dragon opened it's jaws and began gathering energy up. A rainbow colored circle appeared before it's mouth, seemingly signifying it's destructive power.
Pointing at his trap quickly, Zane called out "Don't forget, I still have Cybernetic Hidden Technology! I play it, meaning I have to sacrifice my Cyber Laser Dragon!"
Vanishing from the field in a glow of golden energy was the machine dragon. The large black dragon suddenly stopped it's attack and began to glow with a red aura, making it howl in pain.
Scowling at Zane, Jesse pointed at his emerald colored crystal before him, saying "I activate Rainbow Dark Dragon's effect and sacrifice Emerald Turtle to keep my dragon alive."
A green aura instantly flared to life around the large black dragon, making the red glow disperse at last. The green crystal then vanished while the black dragon let out a growl of irritation.
"I guess you'll live for another turn. I end." (Jesse 3500, Zane 5000)
Drawing his card quietly, Zane examined it and smirked. "I summon Cyberdark Horn (800/800) in defense!"
Instantly materializing onto the field was a metallic bug like creature with many sharp spiky wings, a series of spikes, four pronged spiked arms, a sharp tail, and a strange set of jaws with a three purple spots on it's head appeared with a primitive roar. The creature instantly set down into a defensive stance.
"And with me summoning Cyberdark Horn, it's effect kicks in. Now I can equip my monster with a Dragon Type monster. The one I choose is Infernal Dragon (2000/0), and it's points are added to my Horn (800 + 2000 2800/800)!"
Rising onto the field once more, a black dragon with a hood of skin roared to life. Reaching out, the machine creature ran wires to the dragon and pulled it to it's body. Like before, the dragon thrashed about, but soon settled.
"I'll leave it at that." (Jesse 3500, Zane 5000)
"Pathetic." Jesse smugly remarked while drawing a card. "If that's the best you can do, then you're finished! Go Rainbow Dark Dragon, destroy Zane's little creature with Dark Rainbow Refraction!"
Letting out a massive roar, the black dragon took aim and shot a beam of rainbow energy straight at the strange looking machine creature. The beam hit the machine monster head on, causing a large explosion and sending smoke flying.
"Looks like you're defenseless now Zane!" Jesse smartly said.
Slowly, the smoke began clearing, revealing Zane first, who smirked and said "You better look again there Jesse! I seem to have some protection left!"
Unsure of what Zane spoke of, Jesse gasped in shock when the machine creature appeared out of the smoke, seemingly unharmed. "What's this!? That monster should be slag right now!"
"Should of, could of, would of, but not." Zane wistfully remarked. "You see, when Cyberdark Horn is attacked, it's his equip card that takes the hit, not itself, so my Horn was spared."
Growling loudly, Jesse jammed a card into one of his Spell/Trap Slots and sharply said "I end with a face down." (Jesse 3500, Zane 5000)
Letting out a sigh of relief, Zane looked at his deck for a moment before a sharp spike of pain coursed through his body. Closing his eyes tightly, Zane felt sweat rolling off his forehead and cheeks. Panting lightly, he clutched his chest tightly.
"What's the matter Zane? About to give up the ghost?" Jesse taunted.
Snapping his eyes open, Zane released his hold on his chest and drew a card. "I refuse to give up and die here! Watch as I summon Cyber Valley (0/0)!"
Materializing onto the field instantly was a silver machine snake like dragon with spike like scale armor, with eight red half spheres on it's belly.
"Why bother playing a weakling like that? Your defenses won't hold forever!" Jesse yelled angrily.
Smirking, Zane sharply replied "My dragon may not have much power, but it has three different effects. I activate it's second one, which has me remove itself and another monster, which happens to be my Cyberdark Horn, from play. I then draw two cards."
Vanishing from the field at the same time in a flash of golden light, both machine creatures completely disappeared. Picking up two cards, Zane smirked at them. "I activate the spell Overload Fusion, allowing me to remove from play some Machine Type monsters to summon a Fusion Type monster. I remove all three Cyber Dragons (2100/1600), Cyber Barrier Dragon (800/2800), Cyber Laser Dragon (2400/1800), Cyber Ouroboros (100/600), and Cyber Phoenix (1200/1600) from play in order to summon Chimeratech Fortress Dragon (0/0)!"
Slowly rising up out of the sand behind Zane was a large snake like machine dragon with round circular joints that had closed portals in them, with two spikes on top of each joint. The head of the dragon had two large blue eyes and several spikes leading down to it's circular joints. Letting out a loud roar, the dragon glared at the black dragon across the field.
"By the way, by removing Cyber Ouroboros from play, I'm allowed to discard a card and draw another card. I toss out Card from a Different Dimension and draw."
Picking up a new card, Zane examined it while Jesse began cackling. In a mixed voice with Yubel's, he smugly said "You're a fool! That dragon of yours is far too weak to take on my Rainbow Dark Dragon! If you wanted to lose, you should have said so."
Smirking, Zane smartly replied "It's true, my dragon doesn't have much bite to it to destroy a monster, but it's effect more than makes up for that. You see, whenever it attacks, I receive zero Battle Damage. Also, you take 400 points of direct damage."
Growling lowly, Jesse fired back in his mixed voice "Bring it on!"
"Oh, it's about to be brought on, and I should warn you about one other thing about Chimeratech. For each card I removed from play to summon it, that is the number of times my monster can attack. So get ready for a heavy pummeling! Hit him with Sonic Screech!"
Roaring loudly, the machine dragon opened it's jaws and released a stream of high pressured sound waves. The stream struck the black dragon head on, making it howl in pain while the remainder of the blast struck Jesse, making him cry out.
"Hit him again!" Zane commanded.
Letting out a roar of acknowledgment, the machine dragon opened up all of it's circular joints, revealing a neck and head of six more machine dragons. Each opened their jaws at the same time and released a stream of sound waves. The six beams struck the large black dragon, making it howl out in tremendous pain. The backlash of the blast slammed into Jesse, making him cry out while his life points fell dramatically.
Smirking, Zane smugly asked "Still think my dragon is weak?"
Growling lowly, Jesse's voice mixed with Yubel's fired back "You will pay for that!"
"We'll see." Zane smartly replied. "I set a card face down and end my turn." (Jesse 700, Zane 5000)
