Chapter 18

Photon Finex: Listen up, everyone! This is my first time writing a duel, and honestly, I've attempted to writeduels, and I STINK at them! So, I am only going to do either parts of a duel or whatever since this is MY story. Please DO NOT make any rude, critical, or harassing comments about my duel! If I made a mistake, just simply tell me without any harsh criticism, OK? By the way, for you Pokemon fans, there is a Pokemon reference is this chapter. Can you find it? ;)

Note: Italicized cards are official Yugioh cards; Bolded ones belong to me.


Yuma fell onto the ground after he had received a nasty direct attack from Interplanetarypurplythorny Dragon.

IPPT Dragon
Dark; Level 5
ATK: 2200; DEF: 1100

YUMA: 3300 - 3000
KURAI: 2500

Kurai sneered at Yuma as he laughed at him. "You fool! You fell for my spell card, Change of Heart! can choose one of your monsters to control until the end of my turn! Your Gogogo Giant is mine! You can't stop me, because I'm unstoppable!" he sneered.

"Kurai! Listen to me-" shouted Yuma.

"No, you listen to ME!" interrupted Kurai, waving his hand as a gesture of not listening. "I am your king, and you will do what I tell you to do, maggot! First, I activate my continuous trap card, Robbin' Goblin! Every time one of my monsters inflicts damage to your Life Points, I can randomly select one hard from your hand! That's not all! I can send that randomly picked card to the graveyard!" he recited.

"What? You have got to be kid-!" retorted Yuma.

"Oh, I don't kid, Yuma!" interjected Kurai. "In fact, since I already dealt some damage to your life points, I can pick one card from your hand to go bye-bye!"

Suddenly, all of Yuma's cards in his hands appeared as a hologram facedown. Kurai stared at all three cards, carefully deciding which card to choose.

"This is going to be too much fun for me to torture you, Yuma. Don't even think of counting on Number 39 to help you, because he's all mine and Dark Mist's! What are you gonna do about it? Plead for mercy? I don't think so, you shrimphead!" he scoffed, referring to Yuma's hair spikes.

"Shut up!" retorted Yuma.

Kurai shrugged, "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now, let's see….. I pick the card on the left!"

The mentioned card flipped over, revealing a Trap Card, Mirror Force. Yuma cringed when Kurai had discovered his plan. "I knew you had something planned ahead of time! You were gonna use Mirror Force on me after my monster attacked, didn't you," Kurai jeered, "heh, you sure are terrible at placing a valuable Trap Card facedown during the wrong turn! What an idiot! Anyway, I set one card facedown and end my turn!"

Kurai looked at his D-Pad screen for a moment and he tapped the card he had set. He smiled smugly after reading his Set Card's effect. Yuma is so gonna be so screwed when I use this baby, he mused.

"My turn, draw!" called Yuma. He flipped his hand over to find a Spell Card. "Just what I need!" he mused. "Next, I will summon Neo the Magic Swordsman in Attack Mode! Come, Neo!"

A majestic man clad in blue and green armor popped out of his card whilst millions of tiny pixels melded together to form the magic warrior. Neo swayed his sword valiantly whereas his finger began to glow from the magic.

Neo the Magic Swordsman

Level 4

ATK: 1700; DEF: 1000

"Next, I will activate my Spell Card, Wonder Wand!" stated Yuma. "This card can be equipped to Neo, and he gains 500 additional Attack Points! Neo's Attack Points are now 2220!"

Yuma opened his D-Pad screen and looked at Kurai's monsters that had already been summoned. He analyzed each monster and their effect(s) carefully. Kurai has Giga Gagagigo with 2450 Attack, IPPT Dragon with only 2200, and Flamvell Fiend has 2100 points. Alright! I think I know which monster to attack!

Kurai tapped his foot impatiently. He growled lowly, cracking his knuckles. His sunglasses lowered over his eyes whilst he stared at Yuma. "Are you going to attack or not!" he shouted angrily.

"I was about to do that! Neo the Magic Swordsman will attack IPPT Dragon! Go, Neo!" commanded Yuma.

"You are so stupid!" bantered Kurai. "Spell card activate! Swords of Revealing Light!"

"What?"

"Thanks to this card, you can't attack for three turns!" jested Kurai. "Face it, Yuma, you can't beat me!"

Yuma growled angrily as he watched Swords of Revealing Light come into effect. A green bolt emitted from the three swords. It shocked the Magic Swordsman, paralyzing him. "Darn it!... I end my turn," Yuma grimaced reluctantly.

"Heh, now, tremble before me, Yuma! Prepare for trouble, and make it double! I will now overlay Interplanetarypurplythorny Dragon, Flamvell Fiend, and Giga Gagagigo! Xyz Summon!" shouted Kurai.

As Thorny Dragon, Flamvell Fiend, and Giga Gagagigo turned into colored wisps, they flew into the sky to perform and Xyz Summon. Soon, a colorful spiral appeared on the ground as the wisps landed inside the eye of the gale.

'With these monsters, I build the Overlay network! Come, Number 02: BioDragon!" commanded Kurai.

A gigantic, maroon cyborg dragon pixelated from its Xyz Monster card. The creature itself looked like a robot-organic hybrid, but a life-support system was hooked onto its back between the wings. Two pipes ran from the tank supplying BioDragon with oxygen. It's tail was spiked like an Anklyosaurus' tail. Finally, a red number 2 glowed on the monster's life support system.

"RRROOOOARRR!" shrieked BioDragon.

Kurai stood valiantly by his newly summoned monster. "Yuma, meet Number 02: BioDragon! BioDragon, I believe you're already acquainted with your dinner."
