If some of you people read chapter 30 earlier, the Millennium Ring and Necklace are the Dark Millennium Items, not the copy of what Bakura has or what Ishizu had. Sorry for not putting that earlier. R &R.
Chapter 31: Battle: Robotic Duel
In the next day in Egypt…
Egyptians were walking all over the place. Shopping, selling, talking. Marik, Ishizu, and Odion were walking in the desert floor shopping.
"Marik. Look anything what you can find that can help us," said Ishizu, "I'll be getting some food."
"Sure thing sis," said Marik.
"And Odion? I might need some help carrying the food," said Ishizu looking at the tall bald Egyptian.
"Of course Mistress Ishizu," said Odion.
Ishizu grabbed a basket and walked to those tent stores (I don't know what they are called, but you know what I'm talking about right? People selling things outside then inside a store?). Marik walked around, but what he didn't notice was a black robed man following him. Marik turned around and the man quickly went to a tent store to buy something. Marik raised an eyebrow having a feeling that someone was following him, but then turned around and left. The man then went back following Marik. When Marik stopped at a tent store, the man passed by, but whispered to him so he can here him.
"Aeru," whisper the robed man.
Marik eyes went huge and turned to see the man walking away. Marik paid for the things he got and followed the man. When no one was around, the man turned around and faced Marik. Marik stopped and waited for the hooded duelist to speak.
"My name is Maverick. Fifth and last officer of the black force…I'm here to take you down."
"Well, that's too bad, because right now, I don't have my deck or my duel-disk," said Marik.
"No matter. But besides, right now, I don't want to duel…not here. I'll meet you where the pharaoh rest…the temples of Egypt," said Maverick. Maverick walked away and Marik turned back. Where the pharaoh rest…the temples of Egypt. Surely he meant the pyramids, but he had to wait for his sister and Odion. But the time he got back, Ishizu and Odion were already done shopping.
"We are done Master Marik," said Odion carrying a basket filled with fruits and all that, "And I hope you'll like the food I'll be making tonight."
"Yeah, yeah. Sure, whatever. Sister. Can we head back home now," asked Marik trying to rush her sister.
"Why Marik? Something wrong," asked Ishizu in concern.
"Sort of. Lets head back home fast," said Marik.
All three started to head home and as soon as they reached home, a couple of hooded duelists were blocking their way to enter their house. Odion went up to them in anger.
"Excuse me. But that is our house you're blocking so will you move aside please," said Odion in a little angry tone.
"No," said the first duelist.
"And why," asked Odion.
"Orders from Master Aeru," said the second duelist.
Ishizu and Odion gave out a shock expression while Marik gave out an angry look. Then, another hooded duelist came out carrying a duel-disk. When Marik soon saw it, it was his duel-disk from the battle-city tournament that Seto Kaiba held. The hooded duelist walked up to him and handed him the machine. Marik grabbed it and put it on his arm. It gave out a beeping sound and was ready to duel.
Maverick appeared behind the hooded gang carrying a duel-disk on his arm also. He pulled down his hood showing huge spiky hair (Hairstyle similar to Cloud Strife from FFVII), but had a little ponytail at the end of his hair. He stared at Marik with his green eyes and gave out a small grin.
"Marik," said Maverick starting up the conversation, "At last. I now can face the chosen duelist that Master Aeru sent me to get rid of!"
"Just to warn you, I'm quite powerful and I think I have the strength to beat you in this duel," said Marik crossing his arms and giving a smile at him. Maverick gave out a little growl and both prepared to duel.
Maverick: 8000
Marik: 8000
Maverick drew six cards and saw what he had.
Maverick's Hand:
Clown-MAN-Level: 4 Atk/1700 Def/1600 (Thunder/Machine/Effect)
Frost-MAN-Level: 7 Atk/2450 Def/2000 (Water/Machine/Effect)
Tengu-MAN-Level: 6 Atk/2200 Def/1700 (Wind/Machine/Effect)
Dr. Wiley's Factory-Field Card
Wiley's Creation-Continuous Magic Card
Negative Energy-Continuous Trap Card
Maverick: I set one card facedown and end my turn…
Marik: That's it? How lame…
Marik drew his card and had a pretty good hand. Maverick had only one card on the field…what was his plan?
Marik's Hand:
Mirror Force-Trap Card
Graceful Charity-Magic Card
Nightmare Wheel-Continuous Trap Card
Sangan-Level: 3 Atk/1000 Def/600 (Dark/Fiend/Effect)
Mystical Space Typhoon-Quick Spell
Gilasaurus-Level: 3 Atk/1400 Def/400 (Earth/Dinosaur/Effect)
Marik: First, I set two cards. Then, I play Graceful Charity! I draw three cards and discard two.
Marik drew vampire lord, monster reborn, and revival jam. He discarded the two monsters and looked at Maverick's facedown card.
(Marik: I don't trust that card…but it could be something useless…I'm going to save my Mystical Space Typhoon…)
Marik: I play Gilasaurus in attack mode and then I play Sangan in attack mode as well…
A huge dinosaur appeared and gave out a small roar at Maverick and a small brown fur fiend with three eyes appeared showing its teeth at Maverick and giving out a fiendish laugh.
Gilasaurus-Atk/1400 Def/400
Sangan-Atk/1000 Def/600
Maverick: How did you summon two monsters? You can only place one…
Marik: Gilasaurus effect is that it can be special summoned to the field, but if I activate the effect, you can bring a monster from your graveyard to the field. But since you don't have any monsters, I don't have to worry. Now, go my monsters! Attack his life-points directly!
Gilasaurus charged at Maverick and did a head butt at him and then Sangan came and scratched Maverick. Maverick gave out a small cry of pain, but then had a calm look on his face.
Maverick's LP: 5600
Maverick: Not bad, but your going to regret that…my move!
Maverick drew his next card and drew a magic card called Thunder Claw. Maverick gave out a dark laugh and smiled evilly at Marik.
Maverick: Time to feel pain Marik! First I play the field card, Dr. Wiley's Factory!
Maverick placed the card in his duel-disk and huge factory appeared behind Maverick. It was tall like huge city buildings reaching for the sky. At the top of the building, was a skull and then molten lava was surrounding the two duelists. Marik gave out a confused look never hearing such a card.
Maverick: Allow me to explain this special magic card.
Dr. Wiley's Factory(Field Card)
This card raises all machine-type monsters that have the word "MAN" in it by 500 points for both attack and defense. As long as this card remains on the controller's side of the field, he/she can only play machine type monsters. Any non-machine type monsters that are played from the controller are removed from play.
Marik: What? Increases monsters that have the word 'MAN' in it? Never heard such a thing, but at least you can only play machine-type monsters…
Maverick: That's good, because for one thing…my deck has only machine-type monsters! Next, I play the magic card, Wiley's Creation!
Wiley's Creation(Continuous Magic Card)
As long as Dr Wiley's Factory remains on your side of the field, no cards can target machine-type monsters that have the word "MAN" in their name on your side of the field from your opponent. If Dr. Wiley's Factory is destroyed, this card is removed from play.
Maverick: After that, I summon, Clown-MAN! In attack mode!
A small robotic robot came that looked like a clown and had long arms and on his arms were giving out small electric shocks from his hand. It was spinning around and dancing around like a fool.
Clown-MAN-Atk/1700 Def/1600
Maverick: My monster gains 500 points from Wiley's Factory and has a neat special ability…
Clown-MAN(Thunder/Machine/Effect)
When this card is summoned on the field in any other way (normal summon, flip summon, or special summon) and you have Dr. Wiley's Factory on your side of the field, chose one of the following effects:
1) Attack your opponent's life points directly without trigging a card from your opponent's side of the field.
2) Choose a monster on your opponent's side of the field. As long as this card remains on the field, the selected monster cannot be tribute under any circumstances, can't attack, and can't change battle positions.
Attack/2200 Def/2100
Maverick: Go Clown-MAN! Attack Marik's Life Points directly with Thunder Claw!
Marik: Not so fast! Activate Mystical Space---
Maverick: Hold it! Clown-MAN's special ability is that you can't activate any cards when it attacks so too bad!
Clown-MAN put its claws in the ground and popped out of ground underneath Marik. He grabbed Marik's ankles and gave out a powerful shock. Marik screamed in pain and Clown-MAN let go of him and got his arm out of the ground.
Marik's LP: 5800
Maverick: After that, I play the magic card, Thunder Claw!
Thunder Claw(Equip Magic Card)
This magic card can only be equipped to Clown-MAN. As long as this card is equipped to Clown-MAN, you can attack your opponent's life points directly without triggering a card from your opponent's side of the field. If Clown-MAN is removed from the field or destroyed, this card is removed from play.
Maverick: That's all.
Marik: Pretty good…too bad you waste it! Activate my magic card, Mystical Space Typhoon! This card allows me to destroy one of your cards and I choose your Field Card!
A huge typhoon came and destroyed Maverick's Field Card and since that was gone, his continuous magic card is also gone, but instead of being destroyed and sending it to the graveyard, it was removed from play. And since his card was gone, his monster lost 500 points of attack and defense power and it can be target by his trap cards, monster effects, and spells. After that, Marik drew his next card, which was Spirit Reaper.
Marik: Alright! I play one facedown monster in defense mode and then play monster reborn to bring back Vampire Lord to the field!
A man wearing a black cape on him smiling evilly at Maverick appeared on the field, but Maverick paid no attention to it.
Marik: Go Vampire Lord! Attack his Clown-MAN for good!
Vampire Lord-Atk/2000
Clown-MAN-Atk/1700
Vampire Lord dashed towards Clown-MAN and took out his claw to squeeze it to death, but before Clown-MAN could be destroyed, Maverick activated his facedown trap card, which was Negative Energy. Marik didn't know what that card was, but he had a bad feeling it wasn't good.
Negative Energy(Continuous Trap Card)
This card can only be activated if Dr. Wiley's Factory is in the controller's graveyard. As long as this card remains on your side of the field, all machine-type monsters on your side of the field with the word "MAN" gets a 700-attack power boost. And in addition, you can special summon a machine-type monster with the name "MAN" it in, by paying 700 points of your life points during your opponent's Standby-Phase.
Vampire Lord-Atk/2000
Clown-MAN-Atk/2400
Maverick: Clown-MAN! Counter-Attack!
Clown-MAN jumped in the air really high making Vampire Lord miss, and while up in the air, Clown-Man threw his shocking claws at Vampire Lord and destroyed him. Marik cursed himself and loosing 400 of his life points.
Marik: 5400
Maverick: Well, well, well, the second place Battle City duelist is losing to an unknown duelist he had never meant before…how sad!
Marik: Just you wait…I have a powerful monster in my deck, and that card has got your name all OVER it!
To be continued…If you have noticed, the cards Maverick played are from Mega Man 8. In this duel, I don't own Mega Man 8 or any other series of Mega Man. Sorry for not updating soon, but I hope you'll leave me some reviews. Thank you and see-ya later in the next chapter!
