Duel 8: The Duelist Kingdom Tournament begins! Rise of the Red Dragon
After opening the package, Haruhi found six invitations, all of them with our names on them... except the sixth, which was titled to Yuriko Tsuruya.
"A tournament on a distant Island..." Haruhi read aloud, "Where you'll find speed, power, imagination, and freedom. Meet new people, see new things, and attempt to win it all! SOS Brigade, We're going to Duelist Kingdom!"
"Um... I don't know if my dad would allow it," I lied.
"Nonsense, Kyon! I don't care if you had to sneak out of there. You're coming with us, and that's final!"
Not likely, Haruhi. You'll see...
LATER THAT NIGHT...
I was on the computer, when I turned... to see a very familiar man...
"ATTENTION, Duelist! My hair is kidnapping you!"
Oh shit.
EVEN LATER THAT NIGHT...
I was tossed onto the boat to Duelist Kingdom, along with a bunch of stuff that the hair guy packed while I was in a concussion.
"Well, this sucks."
You've said it, Tyranno. Now, let's find Haruhi.
As we looked around for Haruhi... I bumped into a girl, tripping and knocking her over.
"ACK!"
Sorry about that.
"It's okay," The girl responded, "I can understand."
Thanks for understanding.
"Holy shit, she's hot."
Shut up Tyranno.
"Hey..." The girl responded, "You have A Duel Spirit?"
She knows of Tyranno's existence?
"How the F*** did she know?!"
"Well, I have a duel spirit, too." The girl responded, "Here she is, Harpie Girl!"
At once, a monster that could be best described as a mini-Harpie Lady appeared next to her. Tyranno's eyes bugged out, and his nose spouted blood.
"Tee-hee!" Harpie Girl reacted, "You're funny, Barney!"
Barney?
"I'd be insulted by that disgrace to the dinosaurs, but I honestly don't care right now. Your chest... so much bigger then Haruhi's."
Oh great, My Duel Spirit is a pervert...
... and speaking of Haruhi...
"KYON?! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" I heard Haruhi yell from somewhere down the hall.
Well, I have to go. Later, uh...
"Just call me Keiko."
... Keiko-san.
"I swear, Kyon. The fact that I had to report your absence to the hair guy is unacceptable."
Haruhi, I didn't WANT to be involved in this tournament. I didn't WANT to be in the SOS Brigade. I didn't WANT to be involved in ANY of this!
"Doesn't matter. What matters is HERE, and NOW!"
Where's a knife when you need one?
"Why, you want to kill Haruhi?"
No, I've become an Emo. Now, where're my black clothes?
After a short bout of whining about my life to random strangers, I eventually decided to go get drunk... Until someone tapped my shoulder.
"Eh?" I said, and turned to a small man, about my shoulder height, "What do you want?"
"I want to duel," The man simply replied.
"Something about this guy tells me Dueling him is not a good idea."
"Fine," I said, "I need something to do."
As we stood on the deck of the ship that was taking us to Duelist Kingdom, I began to wonder if I made a good choice.
"Okay," I said, "Let the games begin!"
"Very well," My opponent responded, "Yami no Game start."
Kyon: 4000 LP
Unknown person: 4000 LP
"I will start," The man began, "I summon Blizzard Lizard (600/1800), Defensive mode."
As a furry lizard appeared in front of me, I feel something bad about to happen. But heck, I'll take a shot.
"I summon... Gladiator Beast Andal (1900/1500) in attack mode!"
As a familiar Black Bear appeared out of nowhere, I smiled.
"Andal, how about we send that lizard to the bottom of the ocean?"
Andal nodded, then swiped at Blizzard Lizard, swatting it past me, as it CLAWED at me to stop it's flying... and I FELT it!
"What the hell?"
"Blizzard Lizard's effect," The man spoke, "is that you take 300 points of damage when it is destroyed."
Kyon: 3700 LP
"My turn. I think I'll play... Monster Reborn to revive Blizzard Lizard!"
As the lizard crawled back to his original position, this time walking with a crutch, I stifled a laugh back.
"Next, I play Ice Mirror!"
Ice Mirror: If you have a Water Monster on the field, you can summon another, Identical monster.
As another Blizzard Lizard appeared out of nowhere, I began to wonder if he had a furry lizard fetish.
"And, I tribute one Blizzard Lizard to summon Quick Synchron (700/1400)!"
As the crutch Blizzard Lizard turned into a Cowboy-esk Character, I began to wonder.
What are you planning?
"Heh heh heh," The man replied, "You see, Quick Synchron is a very special type of monster. Very few have seen them in action, or even heard about them. Quick Synchron... is a Tuner Monster."
... so?
"Allow me to demonstrate. Quick Synchron (LV 5), Blizzard Lizard (LV 3), activate Tuning!"
As Quick Synchron turned into 5 rings that surrounded Blizzard Lizard, the man chanted.
"As heart and soul evolve, power erupts. Chaos and Greed become no more! And a divine dragon rules above all! SYNCHRO SUMMON! Fallen Soul, Red Dragon Archfiend (3000/2000)!"
As a huge, red-and-black dragon appeared out of nowhere, I gulped. This was going to be trouble...
To be continued...
