Opening up, Spencer was in the middle of a duel against a random male duelist:
-Spencer (LP: 3100) had a facedown card and a large orb-shaped monster called Giant Germ (Level: 2/ATK: 1000/DEF: 100) on his side of the field.
-The random duelist (LP: 2500) had a Tri-Horned Dragon (Level: 8/ATK: 2850/DEF: 2350) on his side of the field, and it was his turn.
"Tri-Horned Dragon, attack Giant Germ now!" called the duelist.
Tri-Horned dragon obeyed, charging towards Giant Germ.
"Activate Trap card!" Spencer called out, causing his facedown card to flip face-up and reveal itself. "Crush Card Virus!"
"Crush Card Virus?" The duelist blinked. "What does that do?"
"Since a dark monster with 1000 attack or less is being attacked-" explained Spencer. "-this Trap card will send every monster in your hand, deck, and side of the field with 1500 or more attack points to the graveyard!"
Dark particles were raining down onto Tri-Horned Dragon, and that caused the powerful dragon-type monster to be instantly destroyed. Spencer smirked to himself that his plan worked...but he still took damage due to his Giant Germ being in attack mode when it was destroyed (LP: 1250).
The duelist sighed dejectedly and took his deck out of his Duel Disk, opened the deck, and took every monster that had an attack of 1500 or more to the graveyard...which was over 10 cards.
"Now my Giant Germ's effect activates!" Spencer continued. "When it's destroyed in battle, you take 500 points of damage to your life points!"
The student grunted as he took damage (LP: 2000).
"Not only that-" Spencer went on. "-but now I get to summon up to two more Giant Germs from my deck."
On cue, two more Giant Germs materialized on the silver-haired boy's side of the field (Level: 2/ATK: 1000) x2.
The boy sighed. "My turn is over. There's nothing more I can do."
"Stand back!" cried Spencer, drawing his card. "Now!"
Turn ?: Spencer Gresley (LP: 1250)
Deck: (32)
Current Hand (1): Blue-Eyes White Dragon
"I'll sacrifice my two Giant Germs! To call upon my pride and soul as a duelist!"
Just as his two Giant Germs faded away into blue streaks, the silver-hard boy placed the card onto a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
"I summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" announced Spencer.
In a bright light, the mighty blue and white scaled dragon appeared and roared loudly (Level: 8/ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500).
"Is that...the dragon?" The duelist stammered in fright.
"You bet it is." said Spencer, smirking. "Now Blue-Eyes, attack with White Lightning!"
Blue-Eyes obeyed and fired off a burst of white energy, striking the duelist and making him yell in pain (LP: 0).
DUEL RESULTS: Spencer Gresley wins!
"Pathetic." Spencer snorted, walking over to the duelist. "I've won, so hand over your three star coins as we wagered and get out of my sight."
The duelist agreed and gave the silver-haired boy his prize of three star coins before walking away. Spencer added the coins to his dueling glove.
"That makes seven." he thought to himself. "Three more coins, and I'll have enough to face off against Discord and make him pay."
Title: Double Duel - Double Trouble, Part 1
It was another day of the big tournament in San Francisco. Duels were going on...but not as much as before. Mainly due to duelists being knocked out by other players...but also because of Sailor John's men... speaking of Sailor John's men, two pirates were currently somewhere in an alleyway and in the middle of a discussion on how they will take down Thomas and Percy.
"So, dear brother, how shall we defeat those two?" asked one of the pirates.
"I'm not sure." said the other pirate. "But we'll try our best to."
The first pirate grinned. "But whatever the case, we shall-"
"-crush them without trouble!" The second pirate finished his twin's sentence.
The two pirates laughed sinisterly to themselves.
(elsewhere...)
Meanwhile, inside the hotel the Tidmouth Teens were staying at. Inside Thomas's room, the blue-haired boy was busy thinking about the last few days of the tournament.
"Ever since these pirates showed up-" he thought. "-things have been getting crazy. Why can't Sailor John just leave Discord alone and stop ruining his tournament?"
A knock came from his door right around here.
"Who is it?" Thomas asked.
The blue-haired boy got up off his bed and opened the door, gasping at who he saw.
"You..."
It was Emily.
"What's wrong, Thomas?" The dark green-haired girl asked, looking worried.
"It's just this whole pirate thing." sighed Thomas. "I was hoping this would be a fun tournament for duelists who wanted to become professionals. But now Sailor John and his pirates are trying to ruin it."
"I agree." Emily sighed as well. "One of his big plans is to discover the secret to those carvings, but I'm guessing he wants Discord out of the way first. ...but there's gotta be more to it than that."
"Most likely Spencer." Thomas stated.
"That's right. He mentioned his parents being kidnapped. Sailor John must be using him as a plan B."
Thomas folded his arms. "But the question is why?"
"No one really knows." replied Emily. "But we'll try to be ready next time Sailor John strikes."
Finally, Thomas smiled for the first time since waking up.
"Thanks for coming to check up on me, Emily. I feel much better now."
"You're welcome, Thomas." smiled Emily.
Suddenly, the two teens got closer to each other, looking into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever. They got closer and closer, getting their lips ready when...
"Thomas? Emily?"
The two teens looked back towards the door, blushing in embarrassment. It was Percy, and he was blinking like he was confused or something.
"What are you two doing?" he asked curiously.
"Um, nothing!" insisted Thomas, blushing.
"That's right!" Emily agreed, also blushing.
Understanding their feelings, the green-haired boy smiled and nodded.
"I see." he said. "Well come on, everyone's waiting down in the lobby. You and I only need to win a few more star coins so we can all qualify for the finals in a few more days, Thomas."
(elsewhere...)
Five minutes later, Thomas, Emily, and Percy finally arrived in the lobby where their friends were waiting.
"Where have you two been?" asked Edward, speaking to Thomas and Emily at the same time.
"We were just having a talk." said Emily.
Of course, Percy knew better, but respected their privacy.
"She's right." he lied through his teeth. "They were just talking."
Gordon spoke up. "Anyway, what's on the agenda today?"
"Let's try to find more duelists." answered Thomas. "Percy and I need a couple more star coins to qualify."
"Well, I already have all that I need." James pointed out, before clenching a fist. "Until the time comes for me to kick some serious butt in the finals!"
Half of the teens groaned, while the other half smiled. That was because James was finally back to his old self.
"Glad you're feeling better, James." Percy said kindly.
"Though I'm still a little miffed that Spencer humiliated me like that." grumbled James. "My duel with Sledge yesterday did help restore my spirit as a duelist."
"For that, Henry and I are taking James to one of the arcades here in town." Gordon spoke up.
"Sweet!" grinned the red-haired boy happily. "Let's go, now!"
The three older teens left the building. Toby merely rolled his eyes.
"Those guys sure love their games, don't they?" he groaned, but then looked to both Thomas and Percy. "But like you said, Thimas, you and Percy both need three and two more star coins respectively, right?"
The two teenagers nodded.
"Well then, we'd better get out there and find some duelists." Edward stated, before adding: "...whoever is left in the tournament, anyway."
With that said, the friends left the hotel and set out to find some duelists.
(elsewhere...)
Over in an alleyway, the two twin pirates (by the names of Para and Dox) had just tied up two familiar teens that our heroes had met just yesterday.
"W-What are you doing?!" cried out a familiar female voice.
...and those teens were both Lily and Patch.
"Let us go!" demanded Patch.
Para laughed. "On the contrary, you both are bait-"
"-to draw your foolish friends out of hiding!" finished Dox. "So that we may knock them out of the tournament!"
"Why?" asked Lily. "What did they ever do to you?"
"We're just following orders." explained Para, shrugging uncaringly. "Such orders we follow as mercenaries-"
"-from our boss!" finished Dox.
"And together, those two friends of yours will be gone from the tournament for good." The Paradox Brothers both finished at the same time.
"You'll never get away with this!" said Patch firmly. "Sailor John tried twice to eliminate our friends, but he failed."
Para snapped his fingers, and Lily and Patch both found themselves surrounded by a few more pirates.
"Take them away-" Para began.
"-to the warehouse." Dox finished.
The pirates obeyed, taking the two teenagers off. Only one pirate remained behind.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked curiously.
"Deliver a message to those two boys." Para answered.
"And lure them in." Dox added. "So we can trap them!"
"As you wish," bowed the pirate.
(elsewhere...)
Meanwhile, inside Sailor John's hideout in the cove, the pirate leader was sipping some tea that was brought to him by one of his pirates when Skiff suddenly walked up to his deck.
"Anything to report, Skiff?" asked Sailor John.
"I just got word from the Paradox Brothers." said Skiff. "They know of a way to lure Thomas and Percy to them."
"Excellent." grinned the pirate captain. Then he noticed Skiff seemed a bit upset. "Is there something bothering you?"
"Don't you think we're going too far in all this?" asked Skiff. "Kidnapping, hurting innocent people, and ruining a fun tournament? What's so important about eliminating Thomas from this tournament, anyway?"
Sailor John frowned and stood up while slamming his hands on top of his desk.
"Do you question my intentions, Skiff?!" he asked angrily.
"N-n-no, Sailor John," shivered Skiff nervously. "I was just curious."
"I expected more from you, boy." Sailor John growled. "Just remember that once we ruin that fool Discord's reputation, I can use our two prisoners here to force their son, Spencer, to relinquish control of Boxford Corp to me so that I may use its technology to flush out those carving secrets."
"But why Thomas? Why go after him?"
"That boy is just the type of strong willed duelists that we need on our side." answered Sailor John. "And my goal is to get him to join us by any means necessary and understand our primary goal."
"But from his duel with Commander Laura, he refuses to join us." Skiff protested. "What will you do if he refuses to join?"
"I'm a man that can be easily persuasive, Skiff." The pirate captain pointed out. "As demonstrated when I forced Spencer into the tournament."
He looked over to the cage containing Mr. and Mrs. Gresley (Boxford).
"As you can see over there."
Skiff said nothing more, for he understood what Sailor John was talking about.
(elsewhere...)
Down in the streets of San Francisco, Thomas, Percy, Toby, Edward, Emily, and Mavis all walked down a street near Oakland Bay Bridge, noticing very few duelists left.
"Boy, those pirates have been busy." said Mavis.
"HA! We can totally take them!" Percy boasted. "Especially now that I have the mighty Red-Eyes Black Dragon in my deck!"
"They won't be very easy." warned Thomas, reminding him of his and James's duels.
"And never get too cocky either." added Emily. "You will never know what they'll use to give them an advantage against whoever they're facing."
"Exactly." agreed Edward.
(elsewhere...)
Ten minutes later, the gang decided to grab some lunch before resuming their search. They stopped at an outdoor cafe, got a hotdog or two, and sat at a table to eat them.
"Man, this looks good!" drooled Percy hungrily.
"Hopefully we'll get to eat without running into trouble this time." said Emily.
As soon as she said those very words, the gang was instantly met upon by a pirate.
"Are one of you Thomas Billinton and Percy Avonside?" he asked rudely.
Emily sighed to herself. "A waste of my breath."
"What do you want?" asked Percy.
"A message from my boss." The pirate grinned, handing Thomas a note.
The blue-haired boy took the note and started to read it.
"If you and your best friend ever wish to see your new friends Lily and Patch again-" Thomas read. "-bring your decks and Duel Disks to the warehouse. Signed, the Paradox Brothers"
Angrily, Percy grabbed the pirate by his shirt collar.
"You jerk!" he yelled. "What did you do to them?!"
"I'm just the messenger." shrugged the pirate, who suddenly grabbed the green-haired boy's left hand and tossed him back over near Mavis. "Now follow me if you ever want to see your friends again."
"What makes you think we'll trust you?" Thomas demanded.
"You have no other choice."
"I'm afraid he has a point." Edward pointed out.
"We're never going to be left in peace." groaned Mavis.
(elsewhere...)
After fifteen minutes of walking through the streets, the pirate led Thomas and his friends to an abandoned warehouse.
"They're inside here." he said simply.
The teens all went inside...and were instantly met with a closed door and a dark room.
"H-Hey, who turned out the lights?!" yelped Emily.
"Is there anyone here?!" called Toby.
Suddenly, the lights turned on, with two new voices speaking out.
"You have entered-" began the first voice.
"-our hidden ground." added the second voice.
The first voice then spoke up again. "Where only duelists-"
"-can be found." finished the second voice.
"Who's there?!" called Thomas.
The voices spoke again.
"Before you pass-" spoke the first voice.
"-through our chamber-" added the second voice.
The first voice then spoke up again. "-you must agree-"
"-to face the danger!" finished the second voice.
On cue, two pirate brothers leaped in (Para and Dox) doing fancy acrobats and poses. They looked almost alike, except the first (Para) wore orange, and the second (Dox) wore green.
"What are these guys, circus rejects?" asked Mavis in a deadpan tone.
The twin brothers then continued to speak.
"So let the contest-" said the first pirate (Para).
"-now begin!" added the second pirate (Dox).
Para then spoke up again. "Notify-"
"-your next of kin!" finished Dox.
Yet again Para led off a sentence... "You're trapped-"
"-and the doors are all locked!" Dox finished the sentence.
The two pirates stepped, kicked straight up, and landed in deeper stances.
"You face the Brothers - Paradox!" They both finished at once.
"Paradox Brothers?" blinked Toby.
"Hired by Sailor John to eliminate any fools-" began Para.
"-who are in this tournament!" finished Dox.
"And once we are through with you-" began Para once more.
"-you will have no choice but to lament," finished Dox yet again.
"Where are Patch and Lily?!" demanded Edward. "We know you kidnapped them!"
"As if, by some crazy fluke, you win-" Para began yet again.
"-a challenging new test shall begin," finished Dox...again.
Para spoke up once more. "For over my shoulder, you see a door! And over my brother's, you'll see-"
"-one door more!" finished Dox...yet again.
Behind the brothers were two large doors. One blue, one green. And the symbols of the doors matched the symbols on the brothers' foreheads.
"The test, a choice-" Para started.
"-that you must make-" Dox continued.
"Which of these doors will you take?" The Paradox Brothers finished at once.
"This is confusing." commented Percy.
"The way they speak and rhyme reminds me of Bash and Dash." Thomas agreed.
The Paradox Brothers continued talking.
"One door leads outside-" began Para.
"-where you will never see your friends again!" finished Dox.
Yet again Para started a sentence... "The other door's the path you need-"
"-to free your friends and put this game to an end." Dox finished it.
"But which door leads out-?" Para once again began (again).
"-and which leads to woe?" Dox once again finished (again).
"That's for you to guess, and the Brothers Paradox to know!" The two brothers said at once.
"So even if Thomas wins this match-" Emily spoe up. "-we could still wind up losing Lily and Patch forever?"
Para chuckled. "Against us, one mere duelist will be creamed."
"So you must duel as a team." Dox added.
"You mean a Tag Team Duel?" asked Percy. "Count me in!"
Thomas stepped forth while activating his Duel Disk.
"Tag Team it is." he said calmly. "And I'd be honoured if Percy duelled by my side."
"No problem, Thomas." smiled the green-haired boy, activating his own Duel Disk.
The Paradox Brothers only chuckled evilly to themselves. Soon, the four duelists took their spots in-middle of the room.
"All right, you Brothers Paradox-" said Percy with determination. "-me and Thomas are going to clean your clocks!"
Once the Paradox Brothers activated their duel disks, the four duelists drew their opening hands.
"Prepare to be puzzled!" Para began.
"Prepare to be fooled!" Dox continued.
"Prepare to be baffled, for on this field we rule!" The brothers both said at once.
"Bring it on!" dared Thomas.
"Hold it a second, Thomas." Percy interrupted. "We kinda don't know how this Tag Team thing even works."
"It's quite simple." Para stated. "Both teams share 8000 life points a piece-"
"-and the first team to reach zero life points loses immediately!" Dox finished.
Percy looked a bit concerned as he looked over to Thomas.
"Boy, Thomas is putting a lot of faith in me." he thought to himself. "That means I cannot left him down."
"Very well." Thomas accepted the conditions bravely. "It's time to duel!"
Dox held out a card from his hand.
"First turn honours are mine!" he declared.
Turn One: Dox (Team LP: 8000)
Deck: (35)
Current Hand (5): Labyrinth Tank, Kaiser Sea Horse, Tribute Doll, Shadow Ghoul, Cost Down
"I'll summon Kaiser Sea Horse in attack mode!" Dox laid his monster card onto a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
The same Seahorse Warrior Spencer used once before appeared (Level: 4/ATK: 1700/DEF: 1650).
"My turn is over. Now it is Thomas's turn!"
"As you wish!" Thomas stated.
Turn Two: Thomas (Team LP: 8000)
Deck: (35)
Current Hand (5): Curse of Dragon, Magician of Faith, Ambush Shield, Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, and Sage's Stone
"I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guardian." said Thomas, placing the card on a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
The familiar Elf Swordsman appeared on the field, brandishing its sword (Level: 4/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1200). Thomas then took and slotted a card into his Duel Disk.
"Next I place one card facedown and end my turn."
A facedown card materialized.
"Now it is my turn!" cried Para.
Turn Three: Para (Team LP: 8000)
Deck: (35)
Current Hand (5): Sanga of the Thunder, Tribute Doll, Defense Wall, Dungeon Worm, and Fairy Meteor Crush
"I activate my brother's Kaiser Sea Horse's effect!" he declared. "I can use it as two tributes for a high level attribute monster!"
Kaiser Sea Horse vanished in a blue streak.
"I call forth Sanga of the Thunder!" announced Para, placing the card onto a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
Appearing in Kaiser Sea Horse's spot was the torso piece of a monster. This creature seemed to have the power of electricity in its veins (Level: 7/ATK: 2600/DEF: 2200).
"You cheated!" protested Percy, pointing forth accusingly. "You can't use another person's monster just to summon one of your own!"
"In a normal duel, that would be cheating-" agreed Para, before chuckling at his opponent's naive stance. "-but in Tag Team Duels, you are allowed to use your teammates cards to help you."
"Meaning my brother was able to summon forth a powerful creature early on!" added Dox.
"But seeing as we're unable to attack on the first turn, you're spared of its wrath for the time being." The orange wearing pirate added as smugly as possible.
"Those two brothers are good." said Edward. "Using teamwork like that to call upon something like that."
"Thomas and Percy can win!" Emily insisted. "Come on, guys! Show 'em what you're made of!"
"You got it, Emily." nodded Percy confidently. "Now it's my go!"
Turn Four: Percy (Team LP: 8000)
Deck: (35)
Current Hand (5): Gearfried the Iron Knight, Magical Arm Shield, Mad Sword Beast, Double Snare, and Salamandra
Looking at his hand, the green-haired boy narrowed his eyes
"I don't have anything to beat that thunder monster of theirs, but I can still protect myself from an attack." He selected a monster card from his hand.
"I summon Mad Sword Beast in defense mode!" announced Percy, placing a card sideways on a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
An angry looking rhinoceros wearing an army helmet materialized. It let out an angry bellow (Level: 4/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1200).
"And finally-" Percy continued, taking another card from his hand. "I'll set this card facedown and end my turn."
A facedown card appeared behind Mad Sword Beast.
"The next move is back to me!" said Dox, drawing.
Turn Five: Dox (Team LP: 8000)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (5): Labyrinth Tank, Tribute Doll, Shadow Ghoul, Cost Down, and Labyrinth Wall
Looking at his hand, the green wearing Paradox Brother chuckled to himself.
"I'll activate the Spell card Cost Down!" He slotted the card into a spell/trap slot on his Duel Disk.
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up.
"Now by discarding a card from my hand, Cost Down will lower the star level of every monster in my hand by two until the end phase." Dox explained, taking a card from his hand and sending it to his graveyard. From there, he took another card from his hand and laid it facedown and sideways on a monster field slot on his Duel Disk. "And from using it, I'll normal summon this monster in defense mode."
A facedown card (except sideways) materialized.
"That's all for me." said the green-wearing pirate. "Attack it if you dare."
"He must be trying to goad my into taking the bait." Thomas thought to himself. "Because Sanga of the Thunder would just crush my monster." He then spoke aloud while drawing his card. "My move!"
Turn Six: Thomas (Team LP: 8000)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (4): Curse of Dragon, Magician of Faith, Sage's Stone, and Buster Blader
The blue-haired boy looked pleased with what he had drawn.
"Yes! I drew Buster Blader. And since I can use my teammate's monsters too, I can summon this powerful monster."
Thomas looked to Percy, causing the green-haired boy to glance back.
"I sacrifice my Celtic Guardian and Percy's Mad Sword Beast!" announced the blue-haired boy, still holding onto his card.
The two monsters disappear into blue streaks. Thomas then placed the card on a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
"Behold Buster Blader!"
Appearing on Thomas's field was a warrior wearing purple and yellow striped armor while wielding a large sword (Level: 7/ATK: 2600/DEF: 2300).
Did Para or Dox look worried? Not even the slightest.
"Buster Blader, destroy Dox's facedown monster!" Thomas commanded.
Buster Blader obeyed, charging forth and slashing at the facedown monster with his blade.
Suddenly, Dox laughed. "Nice try!"
The monster Buster Blader struck was revealed to be...a maze (Level: 5/ATK: 0/DEF: 3000)?
"What?" cried Thomas (LP: 7600).
"The monster you attacked was Labyrinth Wall." explained Dox.
"That monster has 3000 defense points!" Percy complained. "How are we ever gonna get by it?"
"You won't!" Para laughed. "As long as it's out, you'll-"
"-never touch our life points!" added Dox.
"And the worst for you lot is yet to come!" The brothers finished at once, ending with evil laughter.
To be Continued!
