No Rare Hunters in sight. I still haven't seen Yugi or Joey, and walking around constantly is really starting to get boring. Right now, I'm wandering around part of the downtown area. Surprisingly though, not too many duelists are around here, which won't do me any good in getting another Locator Card.
Right now, I have three of them. Just two more and I can enter the finals. I wonder who many Yugi and Joey have by now. They probably have about the same amount. I turn a corner to walk into an alleyway. It's not too dark, but offers pretty good shade. "It's nice to meet my prey…" a man says.
I turn around to see a dark figure standing on the other side of the alleyway. "And it's nice to meet another Rare Hunter I can kick into next week." I say.
"Now, now, let's not be feisty. I'm just here for a duel that's all." His tone is smooth, but in a way that makes me want to throw up.
"Well, it's not like I have a choice anymore."
"You're right, you don't. We'll each wager two Locator Cards. I hope you can muster that."
"I can. Now stop the talking and let's duel."
The Duel Disks transform and the duel is ready to begin. The Rare Hunter has the first turn. In my hand I have; Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, Mystical Elf, Pot of Greed, and Spellbinding Circle. "I'll play two Hinotama's and a Meteor of Destruction. This will reduce your Life Points to 2000!" The Rare Hunter says.
I draw Heavy Storm, "I play Heavy Storm which will destroy your face-down! And I'll activate the Pot of Greed magic card!" I say. I draw King's Knight and Fairy Witch. I set three cards face-down and summon King's Knight in attack mode, "Now, attack!"
Now the Rare Hunter is at 2400 Life Points." I'll activate my Nightmare Steel cage, which will prevent any monsters from attacking!" the Rare Hunter says.
I draw Kuriboh and then decide to pass my turn. The Rare Hunter sets one card face-down and summons Des Feral Imp in attack mode. I draw and activate Meteor of Destruction. Now the Rare Hunter is at 1400 Life Points. "I set one card face-down and have my Des Feral Imp attack your King's Knight!" the Rare Hunter says.
"Not so fast! This duel ends now! Because I activate Magic Cylinder!"
"WHAT! NO!"
Well, that ended… quickly. You'd think that Marik would send out a stronger Rare Hunter, but I guess that's fine. The Rare Hunter falls to his knees, but so far, I see no evidence of him being controlled by Marik in the near future.
While the Rare Hunter is still in his state of shock, I walk up to him and reach for the scattered cards around him. I take a Locator Card and the rarest card in his deck which was Kaiser Sea Horse. I begin to walk away, until I hear a noise escape the Rare Hunter's mouth.
I turn around to see that he's laughing. "What's so funny?" I ask.
"Master Marik won't be happy about my loss. But I know he'll be happy soon enough…" he says.
"Why? What did you do?"
"It's not what I've done; it's what you have…"
"What are you talking about?"
He lifts his head slightly and laughs louder, "You've walked straight into a trap!"
"What!"
I go to leave the alleyway, only to find Rare Hunters blocking my way. I go to the other side, but Rare Hunters are waiting there too. How could I let that happen? I look around, but there are no other ways out of here.
Right now, I guess I have no one to blame but myself. Some of the Rare Hunters start walking toward me. "Get away from me!" I yell. Hopefully, this will grab some attention.
The Rare Hunters get closer and grab my arms. I thrash around and start punching some of them. But, the more I try to fight them, the more Rare Hunters seem to come.
Before I know it, they're practically dragging me away, and somehow I end up passing out.
Yeah… you can probably tell where this is going. Anyway, I can't wait to do the next chapter! And sorry if this one was a bit (okay a LOT) too short.
