Yu-Gi-Oh! Era-X
Chapter 2: Boost It Up!
In a desert deserted of everything, or it seemed, walked the black attired masked man. He had to have been walking around for at least two days as of now. The sun hit him from every direction, but all of the effects of this droughtful desert was having no effects on him at all. The masked man took a look around and then kneeled down, "Its here..." He then stood up reciting an ancient code he discovered before coming to this realm humans call home, "Erisa mrof eht sitp fo sarknesd rof won shaoc sakem a wen tebud." he began as the sky became void of light and storm clouds forming from a swirl of nothing, "I esu eht eorcf fo limensionad semond gallinc npou ti rof eht lvie encarnati."
A single giant lightning bolt struct the surface in front of the Masked man. The wind increased kicking up sand and debris as the ground began to rumble. A tornado soon shot out of the stormy clouds and smashed the floor of the desert in a blind fury, but it only circled one spot, the spot in front of the shady man. Quickly the tornado expanded in width and inside the eye of it something began to happen. The top of a building seemed to emerge from the enclosure made by the tornado. Slowly arising the mysterious building started to look more like a temple of some sort.
The masked man felt the wild energy the temple released as it exposed it self more and more. If he wasn't wearing a mask, I'm pretty sure he'd have a devious smile on his face. He began laughing and it was as creepy as any laugh could be; if anyone else was there they'd probably fall out from the weird factor.
Finally the pyramid like temple stood firm on top of the sand causing the surrounding tornado to vanish into thin air. The temple was very odd compared to most ancient ones, for one it did not look so ancient. It had more shine than dust to tell the truth. It looked like something a celebrity obessed with ancient architecture designed. The temple had automated stairs spiraling around the side and the entrance to the inside was blocked of with a field light.
The masked man walked up to the door touching certain patterns on it which made a small retina scan float in front of it, "Authorize Shingao Agent Zentax..." The masked man apparently named Zentax said as the retina scan scanned his eye.
The entrance dissappeared only staying on long enough for Zentax to move past it. It's inside was composed of floating orbs of different collored lights, with what looked like see through chords of flowing energy passing along the wall.
"All that needs to be done is to follow these veins of energy to their source." Zentax said sliding his hand across the wall.
Next he came upon an obstacle; a huge gap in the floor filled with glowing white blocks. What it blocked off was a giant staircase embedded with jewels and lights that led up to a single room. Already across the gap full of blocks, Zentax stopped at the steps eyeing them with intensity.
"A trap..." Zentax went behind the steps to an empty wall, "Behind this door lies the destruction of this world's humanity." Blasting the door open with a golden orb creating an enormous amount of damage. Zentax walked in obserbing every last inch of the room only to his dismay seeing a spec of light. "What the hell! How could this one not be it! This was carefully planned out and this place for sure should've been it. Now I have to go out and work to find the other two places of dimensional corruption. Now the plans are delayed... Arg!" Zentax shot a ray of golden light at the small floating sphere of light causing the whole temple to be engolfed in a ray of golden and dark blue rays.
Zentax was shocked at this next discovery he had triggered. Hovering in his line of sight was a shadow with glowing devilish golden eyes that seemed to stare into his soul, if he had one.
"What might you be?" Zentax questioned.
A spooky laugh could be heard from the ghostly black shadow, "I was the forsaken spirit guardian enslaved to this temple, but not anymore." the figure said coldly. "My freedom awaits, for you've made a grave mistake hu-" The spirit started, "Ha, you're no human." it said sensing his enormous amount of power, "No matter you've still unleashed a destructive force on this world and soon to whom ever commands you fool." The shadow then quickly fled to the skies and with tremdous speed zoomed through it; he seemed to be going somewhere in particular.
"Great... that thing could be a problem to the plans. I see I'll have to destroy it along the way and besides it can't do anything in that form anyway. But if it does somehow grow in strength... I'll take it out as soon as possible." Zentax said walking away from the destroyed temple.
Reihou Residence...
Yurai laid on his bed shirtless and in only his boxers. As always his room was a reck and because Yurai's a wild sleeper, nothing ever stayed on his bed only bringing more chaos to his room. Walking into his room was a small white Fennec Fox creeping its way to Yurai's bed. It scratched the bottom of the bed, but when it got no answer it tried another method. The fennec fox began to scale Yurai's dresser, drawer by drawer until it reached the top. It made some type of squeal right before it dived off pouncing on Yurai's chest.
Yurai opened up one eye, "Hey little bud." he said picking it up and scratching behind it's big ears. "I know you're hungry, huh Reo?" Yurai hopped up out of bed with Reo in his hand sliding down the stair's railing.
In his kitchen sat Aliq and Tenshi eatting at his table. They both had breakfast on their plates consisting of: Eggs, bacon, bologna, pancakes, waffles, french toast, sasuages, and juices.
"Hey sleepy head." Tenshi said before putting a strip of bacon in her mouth.
Yurai put Reo down and it ran to Tenshi begging, "My mom already left for work did she?"
"Yeah." Aliq said finishing off his eggs and moving to his pancakes.
Yurai took a seat at the table, "Okay. Almost time for school, shouldn't you guys be on your way so you won't be late." Yurai asked quickly going to his bacon and eggs.
Tenshi shook her head, "School officially starts two hours late today." she then gave Reo some bacon. As Reo ate the bacon it did a quick flip and started running in circles.
"Cool! After I eat, I wanna duel ya Aliq!" Yurai shouted enthusiastically as he finished the eggs and bacon, going after the pancake and waffles next.
Aliq started to pick his teeth with a toothpick, "Ah... no."
Yurai almost choked, "What?!"
"Did you forget again Yurai?" Tenshi asked drinking her juice.
Yurai wiped his mouth with his forearm, "Forget? Forget what? I took out the trash, semi-cleaned my room, took a dump, mop the floor, ate all the snack cakes, put a rat in Aliq's bag, and I fed Reo."
Tenshi threw a sasuage at Yurai hitting him in the eye, "I fed Reo, Aliq and I even picked up his poop." While Tenshi was saying that Reo made a puppy dog face sitting down beside Tenshi looking at Yurai.
Yurai rubbed his head, "Sorry buddy."
"And to jog you're memory, today is the day dorms are issued to us new students." Tenshi explained while dumping the rest of her food in Reo's bowl. "You did pack right?"
Yurai dropped his spoon freezing, "No..." he hopped up and zipped upstairs in a rush throwing stuff on his bed. He didn't even finish his food, but hey it was only one piece of sasuage left.
"Wait, what was that about a rat?" Aliq questioned checking his bag beside him and found something. He tugged and tugged at the thing until it squicked, "Oh my god!"
10 minutes later...
Yurai walked down the stairs, looked at his plate, and dropped his two bags, "My sasuage..." his eye then twicthed.
Tenshi sat at the tabled with just Reo whom was in her lap, "Reo ate it."
Yurai hung his head, "Oh... Well as long as it wasn't Aliq!"
Tenshi pointed to a box on the counter next to the refrigerator, "I almost forgot, your mom told me to give that to you."
Yurai dragged himself to the counter grabbing the box slowly, "Yeah." Yurai opened the box and what was revealed were some cards, Synchros and Xyz to be correct. Yurai jumped in the air, "Awesome!"
"What is it?" Tenshi said setting Reo down and walking over to Yurai.
"I got an Extra Deck now! I finally got some Synchro and Xyz!" Yurai couldn't believe it he didn't have to fight at a disavantage anymore.
"Look a note." Tenshi pointed out to Yurai picking it up.
It read:
Dear Yurai
I hope I wasn't too late in finding these cards for you. After our talk last night I figured I could bring you more hope somehow. I searched and I searched your farther's belongings until I came across a small box which had a lock on it. I remembered this specific box for it was from this box he gave you his first cards. He had told me on the day he put those cards away that he didn't want you relying on those very cards for success; he wanted you to grow stronger, but being a man of many challenges he gave you one himself. I do believe you deserve these cards to add to your collection, his legacy, your beginning. I hope this makes up for me not being able to send you off.
With Love
- Mom
"That totally makes up for anything. I'm just so excited about this, I can't wait to try them out." Yurai said looking at each and every card.
Tenshi pointed out two cards she found intriguing, "Hey those look cool."
"Hmmm. Rank 3 Quake Stormer: Gaia and Level 7 Blaze Stormer: Heatress. Those two do kinda stick out from the bunch don't they." Yurai said putting the cards back into the Extra Deck and clipped it to the side of his belt. "Guess its time to hit the road."
Suta-Hasha Acadamy Dorms...
Suta-Hasha's dorms were divided by a giant lake with complexes on each side. One side of dorms, the boys', had a color scheme of blue and white; the other side, the girls', was colored in pink, red, and white. Each set of dorms consisted of four floors: 1st floor - 1st years, 2nd floor - 2nd years, 3rd floor - 3rd years, and 4th floor - 4th years. Think of the building as luxurious apartments pulled together in the shape of a single mansion.
Yurai was hauling his bag to the base of the blue dorms huffing and puffing, "Woo... where's a bell hop when you need one..."
Aliq was a 2nd year and therefore already had a dorm which he shared with the smooth talking, gambling addict, and master pick pocketer Tyson. He said they had two more roommates, but Yurai just flat out forgot.
Yurai finally made it to the outside of his dorm room nearly out of breath, "I need to work on my cardio... nah, I'm sure it was just the lack of breakfast." Yurai put his hand on the hand print scanner to open the door. All scans had input in the system in advance prior to the student actually coming there. Still there is only a little bit this hand print scan can do for you; based on who you are you'll have access to certain things concerning the school. Yurai waited, but nothing happened and before he got out of hand he rechecked the number on the white door which was 109, "Is this some kind of joke?" Yurai began beating on the door yelling and such, "This isn't funny!" Yurai back up getting ready to charge into the door. Yurai burst into a run just about to collide into the door when it opened causing him to tumble in. Yurai laid on the ground dizzy for a couple of seconds before comming to his senses. Looking up Yurai saw someone with dark colored boots and cargo pants wearing a black sleeveless muscle shirt underneath an open flannell shirt which was blue. Focusing his eyes he realized it was his buddy, Hatsuo, in his lightly colored bandanna on his black and white hair along with some sunglasses.
"Cool, its just you Yurai!" Hatsuo yelled with excitement. "And here I thought I'd be stuck with a weirdo!"
Yurai sat up rubbing his head moaning, "Yeah, me and you both huh..."
Hatsuo then pressed a button on his D-pad and the door to the room closed, "I kinda reconfigured the programming in the hand scan for fun, sorry for that." He said starting to laugh.
Yurai crossed his legs looking around his and Hatsuo's room thinking, *I wonder what Tenshi's doing right about now...*
Girls' Dorm Room
"Group hug!" Nikki yelled embracing Cloe and Tenshi, her new roommates.
"You girls don't know how glad I am to be teamed up with you two." Tenshi said tightning the hug.
Cloe was smiling when they all let go and Nikki nudged Cloe's shoulder, "And no one can pick on little Cloe while I'm around either."
Boys' Dorm Room (Yurai & Hatsuo)...
"Duel me!" yelled Hatsuo choking Yurai with one arm.
"No way! You'll see my cards when I duel Aliq this afternoon!" Yurai shouted back right before he bit Hatsuo's forearm.
Hatsuo let go screaming running in a circle, "I can't wait that long Yurai! I'm too bored right now..." He said settling down on his bed.
Yurai sprinted out of the room in nothing but a blur, "See ya wouldn't want to be ya!"
"Hey wait up, you will duel me Yurai!" Hatsuo said bursting out of the room tracking Yurai.
Before Yurai actually got out of the building he bumped into a strange fellow, "Opps my bad, I wasn't paying attention." Yurai said on the ground rubbing his head.
The stern young man looked at Yurai in disgust with his cold blue eyes. He moved his two long silver bangs out to the side of his face and straightened out his long black hair.
"Hey Yurai!" Hatsuo yelled running down the hall seeing Yurai on the floor.
Yurai got up dusting himself off, "You might wanna move." he said as he slid to the right.
But the boy was too busy trying to fix his hair and Hatsuo couldn't stop soon enough, "Watch out!"
BOOM!
Hatsuo collided with the boy wearing grey head phones around his neck, open high collared white shirt on his torso, long black shorts on his legs, and on his feet white sneakers. Yurai snickered as he watched before handing out his hands. Hatsuo accepted, but the other boy refused smacking Yurai's hand out of his way. Yurai's face was full of complete shock. Never in his life had he met someone that didn't like him or at least accept his help.
"I dont need your pity..." The boy growled grinding his teeth, "Neoki Xandrix holds his own on his own. People like you and your friends get on my nerves. I can't stand it..." Neoki began.
Yurai felt his heart drop, he had no way of dealing with this kinda of emotion he was feeling. He had always been the type to bring upon a positive yet competitive atmosphere with him. He could always turn anyone's attitude to a good one in the end, but he felt this guy was different.
Hatsuo stood beside Yurai as he began to shake instantly, "Huh?" Yurai asked again for confirmation.
Neoki got up dusting himself off staring into Yurai's watery black eyes, "You think you're so special because your father was an alright duelist who couldn't even make it to the pros. I just can't stand twerps like you." Neoki spit in front of Yurai's feet and walked off, "Meet me at the abandoned workshop behind the main building. There I'll take you down a lot of notches punk."
Yurai clenched his fist as he watched Neoki walk off in the distance, "He's gonna see. That's who I'll test my new cards out on and he'll see the lagacy my father has left behind."
Hatsuo scratched his head, "Who was that and what's stuck up his ass?"
"He is the son of the Ex Pro-Dueling Champion Kyurima Xandrix." Yurai stated staring at the ground.
"And I don't see the point in him being such an ass." Hatsuo said under his breath. He hated cocky jerks just as much as prima donnas.
Yurai looked upward, "His father and my father were best friends and even competed on the same team ever since they were kids. Unfortunately when the time came for becoming a Pro-Dueling team my dad declined and stayed to take care of my mom and me."
Hatsuo's eyes widened, "Whoa that's intense, but still why does he hate you?"
"My mother said Kyurima felt like my father abandoned him and their dreams and began to hate him deeply for that... I guess that hate has been passed down to Neoki." Yurai said popping his neck and running out the building with a new found determination in his eyes, "Come on Hatsuo we have a duel to prepare for!"
Boys' Dorm (Aliq & Tyson)...
"Hey Tyson you seen my deck? I could've sworn it was in my pocket." Aliq asked searching through the drawers by his bed.
Tyson smirked, "Maybe..." he continued looking through some cards in his hand.
Aliq slowly rose up behind Tyson's shoulder looking at the cards in his hand. Examining them closer he saw that they were his cards, "Hey! What'd I say about pick pocketing me!" Aliq may have been level headed, but he wasn't afraid to unleash his fury on you for touching his stuff, espeacially his cards.
"Hehe... You see I-" Tyson was interupted by Aliq's hand, but given that Tyson had a longer reach he just pushed Aliq back to a distance trying to keep him there until he was done."
Their door slid open and in walked a young sixteen year old boy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a few freckles, "Hello guys, I'm your new roommate Raiden Sato." Raiden wore a white cardigan over a sleeveless dark blue shirt. His bottom consisted of black pants and black ankle high boots.
Tyson and Aliq paused for a second examining their new arrival; after a second or two they continued with their little skirmish.
Girls' Dorm...
Yurai and Hatsuo were running through the girls' dorm hallways looking for their friends.
Hatsuo stopped in front of the girls' shower room, "Hey Yurai, maybe they're in here, we should check." Hatsuo said reaching for the door before Yurai could slap his hand.
"Come on man, no way dude. Its just your wanderlust talking again. I think I hear them down there, lets go." Yurai exclaimed sprinting in the halls.
Hatsuo was in a daze afterwards, "But... Hey what wanderlust!" he yelled chasing after Yurai.
A door slammed open right in front of Yurai smacking him in the face. Yurai's face slid down the door slowly making a sqeaky sound, "Ow..."
A girl with pink hair which was curled into to ponytails on the sides of her face appeared from behind the door in only a towel that reached her thighs, "Oh no I'm so sorry." she said in a seductive voice looking at Yurai.
"Wow..." Hatsuo whispered before falling out on the ground from her intense beauty.
Yurai could only stare as he sat on the ground with his head swaying, "Uh... yeah... me Yurai..." he said abit dizzy from the hit and her appearance.
"I'm Lyone Hadora, its my second year here and you don't look familar. Perhaps you and your friend are first years." Yurai nodded, "Well you can't be running around all care free in the girls' dorm; you are boys are you not." Yurai shook his head no but realized her question and nodded yes again not being able to say a word. Lyone smiled and walked off to the shower room.
Turning the corner of the hallway were Tenshi, Cloe, Nikki, and some light-blue long haired girl with pretty light blue eyes. Yurai shook off the dizziness and stood up ready to tell his friends about his confrontation. Hatsuo quickly stood up as if his pretty girl alarm rang throughout his head.
"Hey who's the blue chick?" Hatsuo asked out of pure curiousity.
The blue haired girl in the full body-length long blue dress with elbow length white gloves and blue high heel boots waved, "My name is Luna Azura. Pleased to meet you both."
"Yep, she's our newest roommate and we got bored around here so we thought we'd head out for a walk." Nikki explained.
Hatsuo jumped in front of Yurai, "Well, cancel your plans because today you get to witness Yurai Reihou vs... What's his name again?" Hatsuo paused tapping his chin.
"Neoki Xandrix. He challenged me earlier today to a duel." Yurai finished.
"But he's a Pro-Duelist level student. Plus he's very dangerous in a duel as well as outside one. Getting involved with him is bad news." Tenshi stated trying to warn Yurai.
"Isn't he the one who competed in the Grand D-Games under the name Neox?" Cloe asked.
"Yeah, but its inevitable; I can't stop it now. I think he feels he needs to settle something with me our fathers started." Yurai said clenching his fist.
Luna smiled, "No matter who you fight against, who just might be better than you, there's no use in stopping now. I believe you have a chance."
"Thanks, but I've been thinking about something." Yurai began, "He wants to duel by the old workshop and I cant figure out a reason why."
"That area is restricted." Cloe said.
"Yeah, its riddled with traps plus that huge gate with the big stop sign." Nikki explained.
Hatsuo laughed, "Its the perfect battle field to settle a bitter rivalry!"
Yurai scratched his head, "I guess, but I usaully duel someone then consider them a rival." Yurai put his hands in his pockets, "I'm not some type of rival junky..."
Hatsuo slumped down, "That's not what I meant..."
"I'm gonna go scope out the terrain before class starts, see you guys later." Yurai said walking off, "And you might wanna keep an eye on Hatsuo." he joked.
Tenshi looked at Hatsuo and a shiver went down her spine, "Uh..."
Hatsuo smiled at the girls, "What? I play nice."
On the edge of Suta-Hasha Academy Grounds...
Yurai stood on the outside of the gate looking in wondering what was so special about this place. It held no signifigance nor value to anyone. *Why would a place like this still be around; wouldn't they just tear it down if they didn't want it?* Yurai questioned. The building itself looked like it suffered alot and was extremly miserable. It was also covered in yellow tape that read KEEP OUT, but this made Yurai even more curious. He felt as if he were connected to this place somehow and needed to know why. He decided to climb the gate to find out more about this place. Yurai walked around carefully looking around the dead terrain, "Why the heck would Neoki want to duel me here?" He continued walking stopping in front of the doorway to the workshop filled with sorrow. Staring at it he ripped down the tape and proceded inside only to discover it was empty. Yurai looked around for a switch and once he found it on the wall he flicked it up expecting lights to come on, but to no avail. "What the heck, this just had to be the building the didn't pay the light bill on! But hey it is abandoned." A loud cranking sound could be heard to his right and so he walked towards it. Why did he have to be so curious? On the ground there seemed to be a stairwell leading to a basement of some sort. Yurai walked down the stairs until he came to a door of some kind that glowed green. *What? This thing is-* Yurai's thoughts were cut off by the shining of the door as it opened. Yurai took a miss step and fell inside the hidden room of mysteries.
The room resembled that of the ancient temple's inner workings. This room held floating orbs of lights as well as the glowing power lines through the walls. It was extremely advanced with holographic technology all around the room.
Yurai shifted his attention to a ray of blue light emitting from the center of the room. Walking towards it a voice came from behind him, "So you were that curious huh punk."
Turning around Yurai was looking into the eyes of Neoki and without any consideration he blurted out, "So what's up with this place? This is ju-"
Neoki cut him off, "This is a place that's connected to another dimmension chump."
Yurai's eyes shot open out of amazement and curiousity, "What, but why or how?"
Neoki clenched his fist, "This is a place our fathers founded; they were the only ones to know what was in this room and this is where our duel will take place!"
"... Ok, again why?" Yurai asked.
Neoki sighed, "My father told me if I dueled you here, I'd gain a power of some sort."
"But why me?" Yurai wondered rubbing his hand through his hair trying to take all of this in.
"Because you and I are the only ones able to enter this room punk. Apparently it has something to do with our fathers." Neoki said getting out his silver Duel Gazer and D-Pad.
Yurai took out his Duel Gazer and D-Pad as well, "I see, well lets get this show on the road."
"Just what I was thinking chump; I'll make an ass out of you." Neoki said smirking.
Yurai laughed, "Heh, guess we'll have to see about that."
"Duel Gazer Set! Duel!" The two boys yelled.
Neoki Lp: 4000
Yurai Lp: 4000
Neoki sighed, "Since I'm the better of us you can go first, a punk like you will need that extra help."
Yurai humped his shoulders and drew his card, "My time to shine! I summon Stormer Spiritualist (1200/1000 lv3) and a face-down ending my turn." Meditating on Yurai's field was a girl with flowing white hair in an all white dress holding a black staff across her lap.
Neoki grinned at the card he drew, "Ok Yurai I bring to you Chaotic Battle Mage (1700/1400 lv4) and when he's been Normal Summoned I can Special Summon a level 3 monster from my hand." A muscular humanoid in black and blue armor wearing a black helmet and holding two blue axes jumped to field. He then smashed the ground with and rising up was a light purplish chibi vampire like man in a black and yellow trench coat and black pants holding a glowing four point scepter, "Say hello to Chaotic Sprite (1200/900 lv3 tuner)." Neoki smirked and gently moved his bang out of his way, "This is just too easy."
"You can't say that it's just getting started!" Yurai said grinning.
"Why are you so smiley smiley punk?" Neoki asked.
Yurai's face turned serious, "I get too show how strong my dad was through these cards and his strength is mine."
"Senseless fool, my father told me about your dad's cards; they suck compared to mine and I'll show you! Chaotic Battle Mage attack his Stormer Spiritualist!"
"Hold it; I activate the trap Kunai with Chain and I choose to change your Chaotic Battle Mage to Defense Position ending your attack!" Yurai said smiling.
Neoki smirked, "Alright then, Chaotic Sprite attack his Spiritualist."
"But won't they both be destroyed?" Yurai asked confused about his opponent's actions.
"No, because once per turn if Chaotic Sprite were to be destroyed he is not." Neoki said chuckling.
Chaotic Sprite's sceptor unleashed a ray of black energy just as Stormer Spiritualist let out a white blast from her staff. There was a small powerstruggle until the black overcame the white light and Stormer Spiritualist was destroyed.
"I should've played that better. Oh well no use in dragging on about the past." Yurai said.
Neoki smirked, "That's my turn, chump."
Yurai drew his card trying to think of a new strategy to pull off when it hit him. "I activate the spell Will of the Storms! When my opponent has two or more monsters on the field than I do; I'm allowed to Special Summon a 'Stormer' monster from my graveyard!"
"Go ahead like I care if you bring back that low level loser card of yours. I've heard you only work with low level monsters anyway." Neoki insulted.
"What evs." Reappearing on Yurai's field was Stormer Spiritualist (1200/1000 lv3) twirling her staff and then posing. "And now I summon Stormer Defender (500/2000 lv3)!"
Neoki had a smug look on his face, "Really chump, what good will that do you."
"This!" Yurai smirked, "I now create the overlay network using my Level 3 Stormer Spiritualist and Level 3 Stormer Defender to Xyz Summon!"
Neoki narrowed his eyes out of disgust, "So, you do have an Extra Deck after all. Well at least this'll be a little more interesting, I guess."
On Yurai's field arrived a giant green golem like man with extreme muscles, a spike on each shoulder, and chains tossed around torso. "This is Quake Stormer Gaia's (2400/3000 rk3) debut! Alright Gaia attack his Chaotic Sprite!"
Neoki quickly went into deep thought, *What's this punk planning... He knows my Chaotic Sprite won't be destroyed... He's completly lost it.*
Gaia's giant forearm smacked the small spellcaster Sprite, but it didn't shatter. [2400-1200=1200]
Neoki Lp: 2800
"Now where did that get you fool?" Neoki said smirking his ass off.
Yurai laughed, "Check it, when Quake Stormer Gaia inflicts Battle Damage to my opponent I can switch the position of one monster you control and he's allowed to attack that monster!"
Chaotic Battle Mage (1700/1400 lv4) had switched to Attack Position right before getting hammered by Gaia's chained up fist. [2400-1700=700]
Neoki Lp: 2100
Neoki was trying his best to withstand the damage by concentrating on the ground, "Urg, I see..." Neoki held his head up high staring at Yurai with an evil look, "I won't be going easy anymore chump!"
"Just how I like it!" Yurai exclaimed throwing down a face-down, "With that I end my turn."
"I summon the Chaotic Mage of Twin Sceptors (1600/1500 lv4)to my field." A lanky magician in an all black high collared cloak, holding a two blue sceptors, appeared on the field beside Neoki's Chaotic Sprite. "Now I will tune my Level 3 Sprite with the Level 4 Mage of Twin Sceptors to Synchro Summon Chaotic Barrager (2800/1900 lv7)!"
Appearing out on the field was a giant musclar man-beast in a dark red trench coat equiped with giant black gauntlets.
Yurai looked at the new monster with interest, he could feel his heart pumping even faster from the excitement.
"I activate Smashing Ground to destroy the monster on the field with the highest DEF and that's your Quake Stormer Gaia." Neoki began to laugh as if he had this duel won already.
Yurai activated his face-down, "I play the Quick-Play spell My Body as a Shield! By paying 1500 Life Points negate and destroy that Smashing Ground of yours."
Yurai Lp: 2500
"So what if you've snuck past that little move on a whim. That was just the beginning punk. I activate Chaotic Barrager's effect; I can halve his original ATK so that he attacks you directly." Neoki said in a cocky tone of voice. He could never let anything go, if he had a goal he'd reach it no matter the cost. This is what went into his duel style, he always seemed to have another option waiting on him.
Yurai looked up at the giant Spellcaster coming his way with it's glowing blue fist, "Crap..." Chaotic Barrager punched Yurai head on sounding off an explosion.
Yurai Lp: 1100
Neoki stood up proudly with arrogance, "Had enough chump?"
Yurai stood up, but his body shook uncontrolably as he tried to gain back his composure. "No way am I giving up here."
"Its useless now, either way it goes I'll win my next turn." Neoki chuckled lightly, "Face it you chump, you're going to lose."
Yurai laughed still showing signs of frustration, "My father told me that no matter what trouble stands in my way, its just a challenge for me to overcome. So even through the most chaotic of storms... I shine through it you see." Yurai let off a small smile, "And it just so happens that Duel Monsters is were I shine the most."
All of a sudden the room started to shake and rumble as if an earthquake were occuring, but only the room was being effected. The mysterious light of pure energy in the room seemed to be causing all of this to happen and it was becoming more unstable by the second.
Yurai wobbled even more as if he wasn't having a hard enough time already standing up, "What's going on?!" He yelled trying to focus on his balance.
Neoki was laughing to his heart's content, "It's happening! I have done it; the upcoming power will be all mine and it's thanks to you fool!"
Yurai stumbled backwards not being able to stay balanced and fell on his butt, "What do you mean new power? What have you planned?"
Neoki laughed as the roof began to collapse in on the two, "What's the point, you won't survive after I gain this new strength."
All of a sudden the unstable ray of white light burst into a shining explosion which seemed to have engulfed Neoki and Yurai in it's inside.
Suta-Hasha Academy Hallway...
Tenshi, Cloe, and Tyson were walking to their first period class which was Mr. Takai's English class when they heard the explosion. Within five seconds of the explosive bang the academy's lights went off and teachers were running around the school halls telling the student to stay calm and head to a class room to stay put.
"What could've happened?" Cloe asked.
Tyson had made his way to the back of the school's exit, "I'm not waiting to find out." he said walking out the door.
Tenshi could see two people running her and Cloe's way. Coming into view was Hatsuo with Nikki right behind him and out breath.
"I heard from the grape vine that something on the out skirts of the academy exploded." Hatsuo explained.
Nikki had caught her breath, "Where is Yurai anyway?" she asked trying not to sound concerned.
Tenshi began to tremble, "I have no clue..."
A light bulb appeared on top of Hatsuo's head, "The abandoned workshop!"
"Yeah, he did say he was going to check the place out." Tenshi remembered.
Nikki started to run to the school's back exit, "Come on lets get going!"
"Right." The other three said in unison running after Nikki.
Outside the workshop engulfed in light...
Aliq, Tyson, Luna, and a small fellow were already outside the radiant sphere of light.
Now the short fellow beside Luna was her little cousin Hex Corin. His hair was short silver and spiky and his eyes were a pale ice blue. He wore a sleevless silver hoodie above white pants and black tennis shoes as he looked up at the sphere of pure energy with great amazment.
Soon to come was Hatsuo, Tenshi, Cloe, and Nikki in that order.
"What the heck is that?" Hatsuo asked.
Cloe squinted to get a better look at the object, "Maybe pure energy?"
"Somebody should try to go in there. I vote Hatsuo for this task." Nikki joked half serious.
Aliq rubbed his chin, "I already tried that sadly."
Tenshi turned her attention to Aliq, "How'd that go?"
Tyson laughed, "Horrible."
"He can't say I didn't warn him." Luna giggled.
"Back to a more serious note; there's a possiblality that Yurai's inside that thing right."
Hatsuo looked on his D-Pad, "Sorry, but its certain. See take a look." he showed his D-Pad to the others revealing a beeping dot on the screen which had the word Yurai beside it.
Inside the sphere energy field...
Yurai opened his eyes and to his amazement he was in a world of white and silver. There were random object of all sorts of shapes around this new dimmension and in the center stood a monument of some sort. Yurai could hear something call his name in the distance so it was only natural he went towards it. He stood up almost floating off due to this place having near zero gravity. Trying to see what was calling his name he constantly kept squinting his eyes as he gently leaped from block to block in the direction of the large monument. It wasn't long before he realized the voice calling him was coming from the monument.
"Yurai... Yurai... you must... you must..." the voice said constantly fading in and out.
"I must what?" Yurai asked floating in front of the structure.
"Power... you... help keep..." the lady voice said trailing off again.
Yurai had a concerned look on his face, "Keep what? What are you talking about?"
"Balance... evil awaits... beholder... soul..." the gentle and soothing voice continued.
Yurai came to the conclusion that what ever was talking to him was lossing energy, dying at worst, "No, please, I can barely understand you." Yurai cried out.
"Touch... keep me alive... at cost... coming evil... its coming for you... give up..." The place soon went void of sound as Yurai only stared waiting for more answers that didn't come.
Yurai muscled up the courage to take a chance and without knowing the full reason behind this; he touched the monument causing it to glow furiously, "What the-" The structure started to crack creating a domino effect and it erupted into a shower of individual orbs breaking the dimmensional barrier, rushing to Earth. "What have I- Urg!" One orb of light blue energy that was larger than the other had found it's way to Yurai's chest, fusing inside it without him knowing what exactly was happening. The dimmension was torn to bits and pieces as Yurai was thrown out of it back into the basment of the workshop. "That's gonna hurt in the morning. Who am I kidding, it hurts now!" he yelled rubbing his head with both hands.
On the other side of Yurai was Neoki standing up looking upward and laughing, "So, it didn't kill you... I guess you'll just have to be the first to witness the new power I now hold."
Yurai stood back up with a new found determination, "So we're just going to pretend nothing happened and continue this duel." Neoki smirked at his comment, "Cool, Its time we finish this and you'll see the bonds me and my father share within these cards!"
Neoki Lp: 2100
Yurai Lp:1100
The two teens would continue this duel inside the glowing barrier that protected them from the falling rubble of the building. Now that they had intiated the duel once more the field became transparent and now Yurai's friends could see the duel that was starting back up.
"Yurai!" Tenshi, Cloe, and Nikki yelled.
"What has he gotten himself into this time." Aliq wondered.
Hatsuo was rapidly stomping his feet on the ground gritting his teeth, "That's looks so cool! Why couldn't I be dueling in there!"
"My moneys on Neoki." Tyson stated pulling out some cash.
"No one's gonna bet with you!" Nikki yelled.
Tyson smiled putting his money back in his pocket, "Oh well."
It was Yurai's turn and so he drew his card. Behind him a blue ghostly orb levitated and began to talk, *Yurai it is me.*
Yurai heard the voice from before in his head, *Huh, its the voice from that monument thingy, but how?*
*I am able to speak to you telepathicly. Thanks to you a new power has been bestowed upon this world.* the voice from the orb said.
Yurai looked at his hand, *Alright, I'm listening.*
*Prior to me finally merging with your spirit for survival, I've added a few cards to your deck and the one you drew is one of them. I'm assuming you know what to do from here.*
Yurai smiled, "First I'll play the spell card Xyz Return and with it I can send Quake Stormer Gaia back to my Extra Deck; Special Summoning it's Materials to my field." The two Level 3s Stormer Spiritualist and Stormer Defender retook their positions on Yurai's field. "Now I activate Stormer Spiritualist's effect. By discarding a card from my hand; I can bannish a spell card in my Deck and Spiriualist gains that spell card's effect." Yurai discarded a monster in his hand and searched his deck, "I send Rush Recklessly to the grave, allowing my Spiritualist to gain 1900 ATK until the End Phase!" Yurai shook his head trying to realize what he'd done, *Why did I do that?*
The orb flew around Yurai's head, *I'm helping you awaken a new power. Trust me Yurai, I'm only trying to help.*
"Alright, because Angelic Stormer is in my Graveyard while I control a 'Stormer' monster, I can Special Summon it to the field in Defense Position!" Angelic Stormer (200/200 lv1) was the card he'd just recieved from the spirit of the woman. It was basically a glowing blue ball of fur and feathers with big wings spreading from its back side.
Neoki's face held a smug look, "Just end your turn and stop putting useless monsters on your field for protection. Because you're mine next turn!"
The spirit in the orb started to guide Yurai again for it was now time to unleash the new strength in the cards, "I combine the might of my Stormer Spiritualist (1700/1000 lv3), Stormer Defender (500/2000 lv3), and Angelic Stormer (200/200 lv1) to Booster Summon!"
Neoki tightened his grip on his cards gritting his teeth in annoyance, "Not this chump too!"
The three Stormer monsters flew into the sky soaring into a dark blue portal and afterwards it shut, but immediately opened up again bringing along a new monster with it. Out of the portal came a blue and gold armored warrior. It wore a blue helmet, designed with golden lightning bolts, covering it's upper face and back of it's head. It's outer most armor was pure gold laying on top his blue suit outlined in silver. Out of it's gold belt flowed four chains with spiked ends that went down to his blue and gold boots.
"Say hello to Guardian Stormer Tempest (2500/2000 Gr7)! And F.Y.I. all Boosters gain half the ATK & DEF of all the combined monsters' ATK & DEF used to Summon it." Yurai explained. Guardian Stormer Tempest (3450/3600)
"What the hell is a Booster Summon?" Aliq said in disbelief.
Hatsuo gazed at the new creature, "I want one..."
"Amazing..." little Hex said at the magnifcent sight.
Neoki laughed, "Come on, really. You have a card with so much potential and that's all you can do." he said trying to keep his pride intact.
Yurai's eyes turned blue for some odd reason, "Nope, because Tempest has Angelic Stormer attached to him he gains an extra 1000 ATK boost!" Guardian Stormer Tempest (4450/3600) "Come on Tempest destroy his Chaotic Barrager (2800/1900)!" The shining warrior held a ball of electric energy in it's palm, "Go Shining Shockwave Blast!" Guardian Stormer Tempest shot out a ray of electricity at the beastly magician tearing it apart piece by piece until it was destroyed. [4450-2800=1650]
Neoki Lp: 450
Neoki stood still in the breeze as his Life Points went down a great deal.
"Each time Guardian Stormer Tempest destroys a monster you control he gains 500 ATK points." Yurai said grinning. Guardian Stormer Tempest (4950/3600) "And that's my turn Neoki."
"That card is pretty cool." Luna said.
Cloe nodded her head, "Yes." she was just having a hard time trying to figure out what that floating orb was behind Yurai.
Angry, Neoki drew his card, "You're not the only one with new cards, Yurai. I activate the spell Grave Boosting and with it I can use two monsters in my Graveyard for a Booster Summon."
"What? You too?! Well I guess this'll be an epic duel!" Yurai said smiling.
"Appear Chaotic Battle Mage (1700/1400 lv4) and Chaotic Mage of Twin Sceptors (1600/1500 lv4); now you'll see my Booster monster." Neoki said as his monsters flew through the blue portal of dimmensions. What appeared next was a tall yet muscular blue skinned man in a black cape and hood appeared. His black cloak was slick and leathery and his staff like sword shined in the light of it's arrival. "Chaotic Magician (3400/2700 Gr8) is ready to decimate your field and Life Points with his 5050 ATK points!"
Yurai closed his now glowing blue eyes smiling, "I don't think so Neoki; you're too certain dude." he opened his eyes and smirked, "That will lead to your downfall, sadly."
"You fool! Chaotic Magician attack Guardian Stormer Tempest" The blue magician charged ahead with his staff clashed with Tempest creating a huge cloud of dust.
Yurai Lp: 1000
Neoki was laughing uncontrollably, "Now since my Chaotic Magician destroyed-"
"Hold it right there!" The smoke cleared and Yurai's Guardian Stormer Tempest was still standing. "Thanks to me detaching a Supporter Material Tempest isn't destroyed."
"I won't let this conti-" Neoki was interupted by a loud screeching sound from above and it seemed to be closing in on the two duelist.
Everyone off to the side held there ears, crouching down near the ground.
From the sky quickly approaching the field of energy was a stream of black shadows and it swiftly peirced through the energy sphere causing it to vanish into thin air.
Yurai screamed as the shadow hit the field stopping their duel and just like that producing a massive explosion catching only Neoki and Yurai.
The explosion had settled down quickly and Neoki was nowhere in sight. Yurai was on his knees staring at his hands without any emotion; his eyes flashed gold, returning to black afterwards, and he passed out...
