Chapter 9:
Level up to the MAX! LV7 and LV8!
Hey guys. In the last chapter where we left off, I played my Tri-Blaze Accelerator. It's an awesome looking tri-headed turret that can deal some damage. And maybe in this chapter, I might reveal the secret behind this card. Anyway, let's get straight into it.
"What is that thing?!" asked the Princeton Brothers.
"It's my Tri-Blaze Accelerator. And this card can pack quite the punch. With it, I can send any pyro-type monster in my hand to the graveyard and destroy one monster on your field. Again, afterwards I can't attack."
"And again, it's the same exact thing," said Jagger.
"And if you pay attention to all of what my little brother says, you'd know there is a catch," replied Django.
"And there is a big difference," I continued. "After that, you also take 500 points of damage."
"Sounds good, but since my King Dragun is out, it doesn't matter. Because none of our dragon-type monsters can be targeted by a card effect," said Slade.
"I end my turn with a facedown and switching my Volcanic Slicer to defense mode." It's Jagger's turn.
"Now after I draw my Meteor B. Dragon will attack you Firestorm Guard!"
Kurosawa: 5200Princeton: 4650
"My guard."
"Now tell me how good of a guard he was there, cause that wannabe firestorm monster seemed totally useless now."
"Don't make fun of my cards."
"You're not in the position to be telling me to do anything. I end with these two facedown cards." It's Django's turn.
"First I'll play my Level Modulation! You two get to draw two cards."
"And what good will that do you?" asked Slade.
"Because I get to summon back a LV monster from my graveyard ignoring it's summoning requirements. So come on back Ultimate Insect LV3! And now I play Level Up! And with this, I can exchange my LV3 insect to bring out my Ultimate Insect LV5!" The caterpillar then turned into a bit of an almost fully evolved fly with 2300 attack points. "And now I play Lucky Iron Axe! With this Equip Spell, it gives my insect 500 more attack points. Now attack his dragun! And after that I end my turn."
Kurosawa: 5200Princeton: 4150
"Now I play monster Reborn to bring back my dragun! Then I summon my Luster Dragon! And by using dragun's ability, I can summon my Tri-Horned Dragon!" He summoned a big blue land dragon with 2850 attack points. "Now Tri-Horned Dragon, attack his Volcanic Rocket!"
Kurosawa: 4250Princeton: 4150
"Now my Luster Dragon will attack your Slicer and my Dragun attack you directly!"
"Sorry, but my Firewall is still active, so I remove my Royal Firestorm Guard from play to negate your attack!"
"Fine, I end with a facedown card. Go and show us what you can do with your pathetic cards." It's my turn and these guys are making me mad again.
"I draw! First off, I pay 500 life points to keep my Firewall out."
Kurosawa: 3750Princeton: 4150
"Let's see. I think I'll summon my buddy Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4! Now I play my Level Up! And he can upgrade to Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6! Now attack his Luster Dragon!"
Kurosawa: 3750Princeton: 3750
"Bro! I've done it! I can do it now after all of this time!"
"Go for it Shadow!"
"Now with that, since Horus destroyed a monster in battle, I can summon my ultimate and most powerful monster!"
"He's bluffing!" said Judas.
"It can't be!" said Mr. Shrewd.
"This oughta be good," said Kaiser.
"Shadow," said Sora.
"And now, during this end phase, my dragon levels up from LV6 to Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8!" My dragon then became a dragon with bird-like wings with 3000 attack points. It's Jagger's turn.
"First, I'll activate Solemn Wishes! Now since I draw a card now, we gain 500 life points!"
Kurosawa: 3750Princeton: 4250
"Then I summon my Luster Dragon! Now attack that Ultimate Insect!"
"I activate my Negate Attack! So now nothing happens." I saved my brother's insect.
"Thanks bro. I guess that makes us even."
"I end my turn with a facedown card." It's Django's turn.
"Now since it's my standby phase, my insect evolves. Now come forth, Ultimate Insect LV7!" He summoned a blue and red fly-like insect with 2700 attack points. "And with his ability, all of your monsters lose 700 attack points. Now attack that dragun!"
"Too bad. I activate my Draining Shield!" Jagger then got on our nerves again.
"Kurosawa: 3750Princeton: 6950
"Grr. I end my turn." It's Slade's turn.
"And now I activate my Solemn Wishes. So we'll be taking another 500 life points."
Kurosawa: 3750Princeton: 7450
"And now I switch my dragons to defense mode. And I'll also summon my Dragon Dwelling within the Cave in defense mode. I'll end it with two facedown cards." My move.
"Now I'll play Cost Down! So now I can decrease every monster's level in my hand by two if I discard one card from my hand. So now I can summon my Volcanic Hammerer!" I played a beast-like volcano monster with 2400 attack points. "He attacks your dragun!"
Kurosawa: 3750Princeton: 6550
"Now Horus, attack his Meteor B. Dragon with Black Mega Flame!"
"Too bad, cause I play my Draining Shield. Thank you, cause you're making this too fun. You're pathetic cards can't even damage us anymore now."
Kurosawa: 3750Princeton: 9550
"You will pay for that. Now with this card facedown, I'm done." Jagger's move.
"Things aren't looking good for them at this rate," said Kaiser. "But this duel isn't over yet."
"Looks like this duel will be done soon," said Judas.
"Now it's my move. We'll be taking 500 more life points with my Solemn Wishes."
Kurosawa: 3750Princeton: 10550
"I summon my Lord of D. Now I play my Card of Sanctity! As you know, we all draw six cards. Now I summon my Lord of D. in defense mode! Now I play Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon two more dragons!"
"Sorry, but Horus shall intervene now. His ability allows me to cancel out the activation and ability of a spell card anyone plays that I choose."
"Say WHAT?!"
"So there goes your flute."
"Fine, I end my turn with my Scapegoat. Now I get four scapegoat tokens." Jagger now has four different colored goats. Django's move.
"Now I have my Insect attack your Lord of D and end my turn after that."
Kurosawa: 3750Princeton: 8550
"Now I think I'll play my Dragon's Mirror! Now I fuse five dragons to summon my Five-Headed Dragon!" He played a dragon with a dark gold body and five different heads with 5000 attack points. "Now attack Ultimate Insect!"
"Sorry Horus, but I use my Alter for Tribute! I sacrifice my dragon for us to gain 3000 life points!"
Kurosawa: 4950Princeton: 8550
"Now I end my turn."
"My move. And now I Pot of Avarice! I take five monsters from my grave and add them to my deck, shuffle and draw two cards. Now I activate my Level Modulation! You draw two cards and I get a LV monster from my graveyard."
"Too bad your LV8 can't attack then," said Judas.
"I bring back my LV6 Horus!"
"Are you mocking us?!" Both Slade and Jagger were upset to see him again.
"I play my Level Up! So now LV6 evolves! So let's welcome back my Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8! Now I'll activate my Molten Destruction! And with this, all Fire attribute monsters gain 500 attack points in exchange for 400 defense points. So Horus is now at 3500 attack points. Now I play Dark Room of Nightmares! With this card, anytime you take effect damage, you lose 300 more life points. And now I use my Tri-Blaze Accelerator by sending my Volcanic Scattershot as the ammo this time. And with Scattershot's ability, the other two copies of it in my deck jump in to destroy all of your monsters and deal 500 points of damage straight to your life points for each Scattershot. So now you lose all of your monsters and 2000 of your life points!" Jagger's turn.
Kurosawa: 4950Princeton: 6550
"Now my turn. I gain my life points and play my Masked Dragon. Then I also activate Magical Stone Excavation! I discard this card to bring this spell card to my hand. Now I'll play two facedown cards and end my turn." Django's turn.
Kurosawa: 4950Princeton: 7050
"Now I'll have my Insect attack you directly Slade!"
"I use my scapegoats!"
"Fine. I'll have my bro finish this duel off."
"If you can get past our monsters. I start by getting 500 points and end with this facedown card."
Kurosawa: 4950Princeton: 7550
"Now, I can send my Tri-Blaze Accelerator to the graveyard!"
"But what good will that do? He's losing it." Judas still thought I was trying to lose.
"So, he has it. This is one of the best Fire monsters he's about to play." Kaiser still watching the duel and is pretty intrigued so far.
"Now I can summon my other strongest monster! I summon my Volcanic Doomfire!" I then played a deadly looking volcanic beast with 3000 attack points. He then got a power boost of 500 points since my field spell is still out and he's a fire attribute monster. "Now attack Scapegoat with Volcanic Cannon! And with his ability, if he destroys one of your monsters in battle, he destroys all of your other monsters and you lose 500 life points for each monster you lost! Now you lose 4500 points!
Kurosawa: 4950Princeton: 3050
"Now I activate my Call of the Haunted!" Jagger had plans to bring back Meteor B. Dragon.
"So your dragon is back. Now my dragon attacks it!"
Kurosawa: 4950Princeton: 2350
"Now I play my Soul of Fire! Now I remove one of my fire attribute monsters in my deck from play and you take half of his attack points as damage! So no I remove my Infernal Flame Emperor from play to have you lose 1350 life points!"
Kurosawa: 4950Princeton: 1000
"Now I play my Shallow Grave! Now we all can summon one monster from our graves to our field in facedown defense position, but Jagger, I sacrifice yours to summon my Volcanic Queen to your field!" I then played a serpentine volcano beast with a human in the head with 2500 attack points. It has 1800 points since Ultimate Insect is out. "And now I play Mystical Space Typhoon on your Solemn Wishes. Now make you last move."
"Heh, we're not done," said Jagger. "Now I summon my Second Masked Dragon! And now since I read the ability on the queen, I sacrifice my dragon to inflict 1000 life point damage to you!"
Kurosawa: 3950Princeton: 1000
"I end my turn with this facedown. Huh? Why are you two laughing?"
"Because we won," said Django. Everyone in the arena was confused.
"We never surrendered! So how did you win?!" yelled Slade in an angry voice. I finally decided to tell them about my Volcanic Queen.
"Because you misused my Volcanic Queen. Its side effect causes the opponent to lose 1000 life points unless they sacrifice another monster on their field."
"HUH?!" All of a sudden, my Volcanic Queen let out a cry of destruction and meteors then rained down on Slade and Jagger, causing them to lose their life points.
"Kurosawa: 3950Princeton: 0
"YAY!!!! THEY WON!!" Everyone in the arena cheered as we won.
"Do these two ever lose?!" Shrewd wasn't really pleased since we won and I can stay here now.
"You did it Shadow!" Django was impressed with my fire style dueling.
"We did it Django."I was too impressed with his art of using insects.
"Perfect. I was kind of hoping Shadow would win. Now it's MY turn to take him out. Hmhmhmhmhhm. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
