Return of the House of Emerys: Merlin and the Basilisk

(Second Floor Corridor-Halloween afternoon)

Harry was running through the corridors following a voice in the walls when he collided with someone, he looked up and saw Tek shaking his head then look back down at him "Oh? Hey Harry, are you following the voice too?" Harry nodded and went to stand up when he saw a Fusion Duel Monster on the ground he picked it up and looked at it before it was snatched from him by Tek who quickly put it in his pocket and ran down a slightly flooded corridor. Harry watched him run of with confusion before running after him.

He turned the corner to see Tek glaring at the wall with such hatred that a fully grown Nundu would have stopped and ran away, Harry turned to the wall and instantly understood the expression, written in blood was a message The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, Enemies of the Heir Beware Harry looked just underneath it to see the caretaker's cat Mrs. Norris hanging by her tail from a light, he walked over to her as all of the second and third years came into the corridor, Theodore Nott looked at the message "Enemies of the Heir beware, that means you Mudbloods will be next" Tek turned the glare onto him as Theo literally backtracked several steps his face pale as a ghost and showing fear, Tek started to advance "Say that word in my presence again, and there won't be enough pieces of you to put in a matchbox once I'm done, am I clear?".

This was the scene the teachers arrived to, Dumbledore deciding to get revenge von Tek for the incident last year "Detention and 40 Points from Slytherin for threatening another student Mr Vermilion" Tek scowled at him raising an eyebrow "So, I get punished for threatening him, but he doesn't get punished for degrading comments at the Mundaneborns and half-bloods?" Minerva walked forward "What did he say?" "He called them all the M word and said that they were next, so that would classify as threatening them would it not? So, he just threatened almost two thirds of the school?" both Minerva and Severus looked furious as they turned on Theo.

Minerva didn't even get to speak before Severus exploded "HOW DARE YOU USE THAT WORD! IF I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOUR PARENTS WOULDN'T PUNISH YOU, I WOULD BE SENDING YOU HOME TO YOUR PARENTS FOR A HIDE TANNING, ADVOCABIT TERSUS" a bar of soap appeared in Theo's mouth and started cleaning his mouth out before disappearing "There that and detention for a month and 70 Points from Slytherin should clean your mouth".

(The next day-Room of Requirement)

The group of students were sat on comfy chairs that had been placed by the room as they worked on homework. Harry opened a Mental link with Luna 'Hey Lu?' 'Yes dear?' 'Does Tek have more extra Deck then he is letting on for his Cybertron Deck?' '*Sighs* I guess you saw it then, the strongest Extra Deck Monster he has for that Deck' 'If it is his strongest card, why hasn't he used it yet?' 'Well he couldn't until recently, it took cards that he didn't have in his Deck, also there is the fact that he hates the idea of wasting a ton of resources just to summon one monster' 'So it takes a ton of resources to summon and he couldn't summon it until recently and this is why he won't summon it?' 'That's right' 'He is an idiot sometimes' 'I know, I'm trying to convince him to at least place it in the Deck' 'I'll help if I can'.

The two were cut off from their mental conversation when the Deck box glowed once more, Tek opened the top and two Decks and a few cards flew out into the open hands of Yusei and Jaden "So what did you get?" Jaden held up his Deck's Extra Deck Monster The Great Leviathan (XYZ, Rank 10, Dark Attribute, Divine-Beast-Type, ATK:?, DEF:?) and Yusei Held up his Deck's main Extra Deck Monster Minecraft-Ceris, The End Maiden (Fusion, Level 12, Dark Attribute, Mob-Type, ATK:0, DEF:0) Tek whistled "nice, they should accept you well". Yusei and Jaden grinned at Tek before turning to each other "We need to Duel someone" "But we can't Duel each other" "True, especially after that whole Paradox scenario" Harry smirked "How about Jaden vs Draco and Yusei vs Tek" Jaden and Yusei nodded "We're good with this" Tek and Draco nodded, competitiveness swelling in their eyes.

Luna stood between the two Duelists, the room of requirement living up to its name created a full Duel Monsters Holographic Field for them "The first Duel will be between Draco Blaze and Jaden Yuki, begin"

(Draco: 8000, Jaden: 8000) Draco drew his cards "I'll start us off, I play Eclipse-Gate of Time this allows me to add 1 Eclipse card from my Deck to my Hand, so I'll add Eclipse-Dragonification, next I activate Eclipse-Dragonification, fusing the Eclipse-Levia (Level 7, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK:2500, DEF:2400), Eclipse-Sissor Runner (Level 7, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK:2700, DEF:2500) and Eclipse-Death Swoop (Level 6, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK:2500, DEF:2300) in my hand, Queen of the skies, and ruler of the wind, descend from your cloud to destroy all enemies of Dragonkind, Fusion Summon, Level 10, Eclipse-Grandeeney (Fusion, level 10, Wind Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK:3700, DEF:3200) and when she is Summoned, I can Special Summon 1 Eclipse Monster from my Graveyard, so I'll Special Summon Eclipse-Sissor Runner and when he is Summoned I can add 1 Eclipse Monster from my Graveyard to my Hand, so I'll add Eclipse-Death Swoop back to my Hand, next he has another brilliant ability, as long as I control another Eclipse Monster, the top 3 cards of your Deck or sent to the Graveyard" Millennium Rod, Millennium Scales and Millennium Eye were all sent to the Graveyard "Thank you, now I can activate effects from my Graveyard as you put cards there, first I activate the effect of my Millennium Rod from the Graveyard, this allows me to Special Summon 1 Level 6 or lower Dark Attribute Monster from my Deck, so I'll Special Summon Shadow Tiger (Level 6, Dark Attribute, Beast-Type, ATK:2500, DEF:2200) in attack mode, next I activate the effect of the Millennium Eye in my Graveyard, this allows me to add 1 Field, Continuous or Equip Spell from my Deck to my Hand, so I'll add the Field Spell Atlantis, The Orichalcos Kingdom from my Deck to my Hand" "Damn, so when I do things, it can actually help you, right, I'm gonna have to look out for those types of moves, I guess I'll lay 1 card face-down and end my turn, your move".

Jaden drew his card and grinned "First off I'll activate the effect of the Shadow Tiger on my Field, allowing me to add 1 Field, Continuous or Equip Spell from my Deck to my Hand, so I'll add Millennium Necklace, next I activate the Field Spell Atlantis, The Orichalcos Kingdom, when this card is activated, I can add 1 Divine-Beast-Type Monster from my Deck to my Hand" Draco's eyes widened "WAIT WHAT!?" "So I'll add Obelisk the Tormentor (Level 10, Divine Attribute, Divine-Beast-Type, ATK:4000, DEF:4000) next I activate the effect of my Field Spell, so I'll send 1 Dark Attribute Monster from my Deck to my Graveyard" Zorc's Minion (Level 4, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK:1500, DEF:1500) was sent from Jaden's Deck to his Graveyard "Now I gain half of its ATK as Life Points" (Draco: 8000, Jaden: 8750) "Next I activate the final effect of my Field Spell, Once per turn, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Dark Attribute Monster from my Graveyard, so I'll now Special Summon Zorc's Minion, and when he is Special Summoned, I can pay 2000 Life points (Draco: 8000, Jaden: 6750) Special Summon 2 copies of him from my Hand, Deck and/or Graveyard" two more copies of Zorc's Minion appear on Jaden's field "Now I tribute my three Zorc's Minions, Legendary gods of Egypt, please hear my call! In the name of every Pharaoh that came before, I last of the Apep line and your humble servant, I now beseech thee! Awaken, mighty Obelisk, and rid the sacred place of my enemies. I summon Obelisk the Tormentor, Now I normal Summon my Shadow Wolf (Level 4, Dark Attribute, Beast-Type, ATK:1800, DEF:1500), next I activate the effect of Obelisk the Tormentor, by tributing the two Monsters on my field, I can destroy all Monsters on your field, then you take damage equal to the combined ATK points of all of your destroyed Monsters" (Draco: 1600, Jaden: 6750) "When my Eclipse-Grandeeney is destroyed I gain 400 Life points for every Eclipse Monster on your field and in my Graveyard" (Draco: 2800, Jaden: 6750) Jaden Chuckles "You certainly are persistent, I like that, now get your game on and show me what you've got".

Draco smirked and drew a card "Of course I will, I'm a blaze after all and we love competition, first I Normal Summon Eclipse-Draconites (Level 4, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK:1800, DEF:1600) and when these little monsters are Summoned, I can add 1 Eclipse card from my Deck to my Hand, so I'll add Eclipse-Dragonification, next I activate the effect of my Monster, because it is the only Monster on my Field, I can Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower Eclipse Monster from my Hand, in defense position, so I'll Special Summon Eclipse-Death Swoop, and when he is Summoned, I can add 1 Eclipse Monster from my Graveyard to my Hand, so I'll add Eclipse-Sissor Runner back, next I'll activate the effect of my Field Spell, I pay 700 Life Points (Draco: 2100, Jaden: 6750) then I can Special Summon 1 Non-Extra Deck Eclipse Monster from my Graveyard, So I'll Special Summon the Eclipse-Levia from my Graveyard, next I activate the effect of the Eclipse-Dragonification in my Graveyard, shuffling it and the Eclipse-Grandeeney from my Graveyard into my Deck, then 1 get to draw 1 card" Draco draws the extra card "Now I activate the Spell card Eclipse-Dragonification to fuse the Eclipse-Sissor Runner in my Hand with the Eclipse-Draconites, Eclipse-Levia and the Eclipse-Death Swoop on my Field, Ruler of the Stars and Dragon of Stella, Descend now from the heavens to wreak havoc on the world of Man, I Fusion Summon Eclipse-Animus, King of the Stars (Fusion, Level 11, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK:4100, DEF:4000) Now I equip my Dragon with the Equip Spell Eclipse-Chaos Dragon Roar boosting his ATK by 700 Points (Animus: ATK:4800, DEF:4000) next I attack your Obelisk the Tormentor with Etherion Stella Shot (Draco: 2100, Jaden: 5950) so much for your God, I end my turn".

Jaden shook his head at the comment "Heart of the cards, don't fail me now" the cards glowed yellow under his hand for a second, he lifted it and smirked "First I activate the effect of my Field Spell, allowing me to Special Summon the Zorc's Minion in my Graveyard, then by activating his effect, I'll pay 2000 Life Points (Draco: 2100, Jaden: 3950) I can Special Summon 2 more Zorc's Minion's now prepare yourself Draco Blaze for one of my Gods, I sacrifice all three of my Zorc's Minion's, "Almighty protector of the sun and sky, I beg of thee, please heed my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. I beseech thee, grace our humble game. But first I shall...call out thy name, Winged Dragon of Ra (Level 10, Divine Attribute, Divine-Beast-Type, ATK:?, DEF:?)! this Monsters attack and defence become the combined attacks and defences of the three monsters used to Summon it" (WDoR: ATK:4500, DEF:4500) Draco looked at the stats and Monster and whistled "Damn, after I destroy one I have to destroy another, your Monster is impressive Jaden but it doesn't have the power to get over my dragon".

(With the others)

Minnyllia put her hands over her heart as the deity of Egypt looked directly at her, they stared into each-other's eyes for a few seconds before Minnyllia felt something inside her unlock, she was put into a trance-like state.

(Back to the duel)

Jaden laughed "Not the time Draco, I activate my Monsters Special ability, I sacrifice all but 10 of my Life Points (Draco: 2100, Jaden: 10) and my Deity gains all of those Life Points as ATK points (WDoR: ATK:8440, DEF:4500) now Winged Dragon of Ra destroy his Dragon King with God Blaze Cannon!" (Draco: 0, Jaden: 10).
