Yu-gi-oh
No Limits
Chapter 31- The unstoppable Trishula
By Kevin Jones
Wilson
"I draw and summon Iron Hans (ATK: 1200/DEF: 800) in attack mode and since I summoned Iron Hans I can special summon Iron Knight in attack mode as well (ATK: 1700/DEF: 700). Next, due to Iron Knights effect he loses 1000 ATK points because Iron Hans is on the field!" (1700-700)
"Chase," Stratos is now next to me. "Look carefully at Wilson's eyes. I just figured out whys he's acting so strange."
"Wait, you're not saying"-
"Oh yes I am. He has red circles around his eyes."
Now I'm mad, I'm also confused but mostly mad. "Taft, what did you bastards do to this kid!?"
Taft is putting on a confused face. "What are you talking about? Also, I'd prefer you not curse in my presence."
"Save it, I can tell just by being around him that the weird power you guys have is controlling him."
"OK then," starts Kai, "I don't feel comfortable standing on the platform next to the evil wizard. Kai has now hopped off the metal platform and is now standing on the glass one.
"Same," as Toni says this, both her and Vanessa jump on to the glass and are dashing towards Kai who is now standing in between me and Wilson.
"Yup," starts Kai, "he's got the red circles around his eyes like that red neck did."
"This duel should be stopped!" As Vanessa says this, she is gripping her fists and seems angry. "Wilson, listen to me, you don't have to do this!"
"First of all, if, and that's a big if, my master chose to use his powers on Mr. Leonson, I'm sure he had a good reason. As for this duel, it will continue, Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Leonson will continue to face off with all their strength or I will blow us all to smithereens."
Kai responds with, "If that happens then you'll die to."
"My life is irrelevant when compared to our organization. If I must die, then so be it. That being said, I'd prefer not to die and I'm sure none of you wish to lose your young lives this afternoon. So let the duel continue."
"I play the spell card, Iron Cage! Now I can send Iron Hans to the graveyard until my next standby phase!"
"Wait," starts Vanessa, "why would he destroy his own monster?"
"Because," starts Toni, "he may lose a monster but Iron Knight now gets his attack power back." (700-1700)
"Now, Iron Knight, attack his Lady Heat with iron sword slash!" A knight in black armor just slashed a blond woman in white; I think this scene is in the bible. (4000-3600)
"Now, Forest Huntsman, attack him directly!"
Apparently I just took an arrow to the gut from a guy who likes the bears he would have hunted. (3600-2400)
Chase
"Since you've gone quiet then I assume it's my move so I draw! Next I summon Elemental HERO Wildheart (ATK: 1500/DEF: 1600)! Now Wildheart, show his Huntsman who the real master of the forest is!" Giant, muscular, Native American guy with a big as sword vs. a big hairy guy with a bow and arrow, Native American wins." (3500-3200)
"Next, I think I'll throw down a face down and call it a turn!"
Wilson
"My draw, now the effect of Iron Cage ends and I can special summon Iron Hans from the graveyard and I get to use Iron Hans effect once again."
"So that means he gets another Iron Knight?"
"Bingo Vanessa," as Kai says this he gulps, "but I doubt that's where his strategy ends."
"Next I play the spell card, Spinning wheel Spindle! Now your Wildheart is banished for the next 3 turns!"
"Wait," starts Toni, "why did a needle with string on it just stab Wildheart in the arm and why did it knock him unconscious?"
"No," snaps Vanessa, "there is no way you've never heard of Sleeping Beauty! If nothing else it's a Disney Princess movie!"
"Oh I've never seen a Disney Princess movie before. My Dad says there made to brain wash girls into believing there supposed to spend their lives permanently dependent on a man."
OK, now everyone on this roof, minus Wilson, is staring at Toni.
"You know what Toni," says a shocked Kai, "now it's all starting to come clear."
"Now, Iron Hans, attack him directly, iron axe!"
"Sorry kid but I play the trap card Scrap Iron Scarecrow! Now, Captain Fuzz ball gets his attack negated, plus I can now reset my scarecrow for next turn!"
"That maybe so, but I still have 2 attacks left! Now both my Iron Knights, attack him directly!"
Yeah, I just got slashed by 2 knights; once again I think this in the bible. (2400-1000)
Chase
"Since you've gone silent, I think it's my turn and I draw!" OK, my life points are low so I need to think strategically here. I don't get Wildheart back for another 2 turns and this hand doesn't give me any way of special summoning. Even if I could take out his childhood story book freaks, I've got to figure out a way to get Wilson back on our side before Taft tries to pull something. The only question is how?
"If you're thinking of a way to try and release the hold Taft has on Wilson there may be one possibility."
I look over towards Stratos. "If you think we should throw Taft overboard, I'm all for that."
"Not exactly, the power that is currently possessing Wilson is most likely a form of shadow energy. As a duel spirit, I'm made of shadow energy. If I could land a direct attack on Wilson's life points, we might be able to disrupt the connection between Wilson and the Shadow energy."
"Right, so to save Wilson, I'm going to have to get you out." Granted I don't have Stratos in my hand or any other monsters for that matter. "Alright then, time to play hard ball! I play Magical Mallet, now I get to shuffle the other 2 cards in my hand back into my deck and draw 2 new ones!" All right, I may not have drawn Stratos, but I did draw something to hold me over till I do. "I play Fusion Recovery! Now I get back 1 Polymerization and 1 Fusion Material monster back from my graveyard! Next, I play Polymerization to fuse the Burstinatrix I just got back with the Elemental HERO Clayman I just drew in order to fusion summon, Elemental HERO Rampart Blaster!" (ATK: 2000/DEF: 2500)
Clayman has now had his body altered to include armor plates, a shield and a big ass gun.
"You summoned it in defense mode," says Taft mockingly. "Don't tell me you're staling for something?"
"Not exactly, you see while Rampart Blaster is in defense mode, I can halve her ATK points so she can attack Wilson directly!"
Rampart Blaster is now aiming her big ass gun at Wilson. We all here a click, followed by several black projectiles that leave a smoke trail as they explode in front of a still unreactive Wilson. (3200-2200)
"I said you need to attack directly with me, not Rampart Blaster."
"Let's see you play this game Captain Sealing Fan." I turn my gaze back to Wilson. "It's your turn Cold Stone."
Wilson
"OK," starts Toni, "what fairy tale is he referencing to now?"
"None Toni," says an annoyed Vanessa, "Cold Stone Creamy is an Ice Cream chain you find in malls."
"Oh yeah… I like that place we should go there after this."
"My draw… next I play the equip spell card, The Queens Missing Ring!"
"Hey," starts Toni, "why is a big diamond ring choking Rampart Blaster?"
"The story of the White Snake," Vanessa sounds like she's getting a migraine.
"But if the card was about the Band White Snake, then shouldn't the name have something to do with cocaine?"
Vanessa is now staring at Toni. "No Toni, the story of The White Snake is about a servant who eats part of a white snake and gains the ability to talk to animals. While he has this power, he finds his queen's missing ring which was swallowed by a Goose."
"I can see the similarities," starts Kai, "now Rampart Blaster can't attack and during each End phase, she'll lose 500 ATK and DEF points."
"Ohhhh," starts Toni," it's like the ring is choking Rampart Blaster just like it did to the goose in the story."
"Brilliant Toni, my monster's slowly dying, but at least you finally figured out a fairy tale reference."
"I end my turn." (2000-1500) (2500-2000)
Chase
I don't get my Wildheart back till my next turn and if I don't draw a good card now, this could all be long before that. "My draw," time to grow my hand back, "I play, Legacy of a HERO, now because there's 2 level 4 or higher HERO monsters in my graveyard, I get to draw 3 cards!"
"Well, did you draw me?"
"Not yet, I set 1 card face down face down and end my turn." (1500-1000) (2000-1500)
Wilson
"My draw, I summon Buten!" (Level: 1/ATK: 200/DEF: 300) It's a little, plump, round, pig with a halo and an angel wings… wait a minute… "That's a tuner monster!"
"Be careful Chase," says a shocked Kai, "he's about to bring out a living legend!"
"I tune my level 1 Buten, level 4, Iron Hans and level 4, Iron Knight, in order to Synchro summon," Buten flew into the air and turned into a green ring, to which both Iron Hans and Iron Knight flew through, dematerializing into 8 shining stars and with the sound of a pigs oink in the back ground, (1+4+4=9) "I Synchro summon Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!" (ATK: 2700/DEF: 2000)
"That's the monster he used to beat Kai!" As Vanessa says this Trishula's 3 heads let out 3 large roars.
"Which means the duel ends this turn," says a worried Toni. "If Trishula banishes Rampart Blaster, then the only card on Chase's field will be Scrap-Iron Scarecrow. He'll be able to negate Trishula's attack but now that Iron Hans is gone, Iron Knight is back to full strength." (700-1700)
"Which means that Chase will be able to stop one attack only to lose the second," says a disappointed Taft. "It's a shame, I was expecting more out of Mr. Rhodes."
"Whatever made you all think I'm done with this duel?!" The glass we're standing on has now been replaced with water. The water is now cascading over me and Wilson's monsters, dragging them under.
"What did you just do?"
"Simple Captain Mustache, when Wilson summoned Trishula, I decided to activate my set card, Torrential Tribute! Since he summoned a monster, this card let me destroy every monster on the field!"
"Wilson still gets Trishula's effect," says an angry Taft.
"From your graveyard, I banish Elemental HERO Wildheart. From the field, I banish Scrap-Iron Scarecrow. From your hand you lose a random card." There goes Battle Tuned. "I set 1 card face down and end my turn."
Chase
"I draw," thanks to Trishula's effect, Wildheart has been banished so I don't get him back like I was supposed to. "Fine, since you took my Wildheart away, I think I'll just brink out Elemental HERO Sparkman!" (ATK: 1600/DEF: 1400) All right, Sparkman looks like he's ready to kick some ass. "Now Sparkman attack Wilson directly, static shockwave! (2200-600) That's it for me, your go."
Wilson
"My draw, and I play Monster Reborn, now I can special summon Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier back from my graveyard!"
Now the huge, blue and silver dragon is back. Its roar is so loud, everyone hear is starting to look worried, even my Sparkman.
"And now the true test begins." As Taft says this, we all turn towards him, hesitant at what he plans to say next. "As I said before, the point to this duel is to see who has what it takes to take over Segas. If it is to be Chase Rhodes, then he must win this duel. If it is to be Wilson Leonson, then he must survive his next move."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I have a bad feeling about this.
"Chase," Stratos is trembling, "this is where the duel gets dangerous."
"I activate the continuous trap that makes the hearts of 1000 brave men stop beating! I play the trap card, Geass!"
What the hell, the glass beneath my feet is now glowing purple. What the… now that I look at the entire platform; it looks like the purple energy is forming a shape.
"If you're wondering what shape the energy's becoming," says a happy Taft, "it's becoming the sacred symbol of Geass."
"It looks kind of like the Segas logo."
"Very perceptive Ms. Sorentino, actually, the name Segas is no more than an anagram of Geass. As for our logo, it's the symbol that is now appearing on the field!"
"Now, I banish Trishula-Dragon of the Ice Barrier, in order to special summon, Trishula the Geass Dragon!" (ATK: 2700/DEF: 2000)
The 3 headed blue and white Dragon has now been replaced with an even bigger 3 headed black dragon with glowing purple armor. None of the 3 heads have eyes. Instead, each head has the symbol of Seg- or apparently Geass where the eyes should be. The claws are long enough to be swords and the wings look like Sickle blades. It's roar even has me shaking and- wait a minute… is the glass… is the glass cra-
"Now it is time for the true test of this duel. Which one of you can end the duel before the energy being created by Trishula causes the platform to shatter!"
