Chapter 3: Hidden Armory
-ooo-
Back at the picnic, they were finishing the meal up.
Kelly look at Natalia and replied, "You have a much better deck then you did before, Natalia. It was a good duel."
Natalia nodded and replied, "Thanks, girl. I figured my old deck was a bust, so I got intrested in the Gem Knight monsters. They're decent monsters and so pretty too."
She pointed to Nancy and replied, "This is my 10 year sister Nancy. All the times we dueled, you never got a chance to meet her and here you go."
Natalia smiled and replied, "Pleasure to meet you."
Nancy then replied, "You dueled my sister quite well. I'm going to have a deck myself someday and I want to challenge you one when its ready to duel."
Natalia then replied, "No problem. I'll send a email tonight to give your sister my number and address."
Kelly nodded and replied, "Sounds good, girl."
Natalia checked her watch and replied, "I gotta go now. I'll see you all later."
They all waved to her as she ran towards her bike and Kelly sighed and replied, "Good dueling, girl."
Lucas then replied, "She is a decent duelist."
Christina then replied, "With a wonderful deck as well."
-ooo-
Later that night, Christina and Lucas decided to watchi some TV.
Christina sighed and repleid, "Nothing much on tonight."
Lucas nodded and replied, "Just the same crap over and over again."
Suddenly, the phone began to ring and Lucas got up and replied, "Allow me, hon."
As he was about to answer the phone, Tina jumped onto the couch and walked onto Christinas lap and meowed and Christina smiled and replied, "Lonely, little girl?"
Lucas then replied, "I'll tell her now. Thank you."
He hung up the phone and he walked over to the couch and replied, "Remember that girl you rescued a few days back?"
"What about her?"
Lucas then replied, "She asked for her saviors of that time to come and talk to her and bring her home as well."
Christina then replied, "I'll call up Kelly and let her know."
"The staff have been trying to get her to talk since she arrived and she didn't want to until now."
Christina then replied, "Damn, thats strange. But if its her wishes, I'll do them."
Lucas then replied, "Sounds good, darling. She also said for the both of you to bring duel disks and your decks."
Christina then replied, "Sounds good, dad."
-ooo-
Later that night at North Memorial Hospital, two doctors (One male and one female) were watching the rescued girl sleep in her hospital bed.
She sighed and replied, "I don't get this girl at all."
He nodded and replied, "I know, Janis. She won't talk to any of us, just the girls that saved her."
Janis then replied, "Make a little bit sense."
He nodded and replied, "We should honor her wishes and do what she asked for, I guess."
She nodded as they both left the room.
-ooo-
That next day, Kelly and Chistina were waiting in the wait lounge on the girls floor.
Christina then repleid, "We're here."
Kelly then repleid, "We'll finally know about more stuff about her at least."
Christina smiled and replied, "The more we know, the better we are, girl."
Kelly ndoded as two doctors came in (The same ones from the previous night ) and the female one replied, "She's ready to talk, girls."
Kelly then replied, "We're both ready to listen."
"Ditto. We'll do what we can to help her out."
The two doctors nodded as they both left as the young girl walked in (She was wearing a green hospital gown) and Kelly replied, "Good to see you again."
The girl smiled and replied, "First of all, I Want to thank you both from saving me from those two assholes the other day. I Really mean this and you both are really nice people to know."
Christina nodded and replied, "Anytime, girl. I'm Christina by the way and this is my friend Kelly."
The girl nodded and replied, "My name is Ginny Gunderson."
"Nice to mee you, Ginny.", Christina said with a smile.
Kelly then replied, "Why didn't you tell anyone your name or talk to anyone while you where here?"
Ginny sighed and replied, "I'm a really shy girl and I didn't feel comfortable talking to these people."
"Thats no trouble at all. You duel at all?"
Ginny then replied, "Yes I do. I didn't bring my deck with me that night, so I left at it home before I want out for the day. My parents visited me last night before going back home."
Christina then replied, "Thats cool. You want us to help you get home?"
Ginny smiled and replied, "Yes I do. I need to get some paperwork done first and then we're outta of here!"
Kelly nodded and replied, "Sounds good to us, Ginny."
-ooo-
That night at her house, Christina was talking to her dad about her day.
Lucas nodded and replied, "So, she's finally talking and wants to meet the both of you at the park tomorrow?"
Christina nodded and replied, "Thats what she told me, dad."
Lucas then replied, "As long as she's okay and doing better, that shouldn't be a problem at all, Christina."
Christina then replied, "It'll be good day tomorrow."
:"Sounds like it to me too."
-ooo-
That next day, the girls were at the table.
Ginny then replied, "Its good to meet you both this way."
Kelly opened a bottle of Gatorade and took a few gulps and replied, "Likewise, Ginny. Did you want to duel one of us?"
Ginny smiled and replied, "If it was okay with you guys first."
Christina smiled and replied, "You bet it is!"
"How about dueling a better duelist like me?", a teenaged male's voice was heard.
They turned to the right and saw a soldier in a miltary uniform and he had a gun strapped to his back and a duel disk on his arm and the girl nearby wore black jeans and a black shirt (That showed some cleavage).
Kelly sighed and replied, "Great, its Private Ryan."
The soldier saluted and replied, "Captain James Ryan at your service! You can all call me James if you want to."
He pointed to the nearby girl and replied, "This is my finacee Carly Simmons. We're getting married next year and I'm on leave for the time being."
Ginny then repleid, "Whats the deal with this guy, girl?"
Christina then replied, "He was one of the best and nicest people and once he graduated, he want right into the armed forces. After that, he became one of the best soldiers ever."
Ginny then replied, "Thank for you serving the country, soldier."
James nodded and replied, "Thank you much, girl. How about a duel with me? Since I've been in the service, I've gotten some decent cards and I want to test them on one of you?"
Ginny then replied, "I accept your challenge."
The girls nodded as they sat down and the two duelists stood across from each other and shuffled and drew 5 cards and Carly smiled and repleid, "You sure she's ready for this? James is a tough duelist."
Christina then replied, "She'll be fine!"
"Game on!", both yelled out.
(James LP: 8000 - Ginny LP: 8000)
Ginny then replied, "You may start, sir."
James drew a card and repleid, "I'll set a monster and thats my turn now."
Ginny drew a card and replied, "I Summon Junk Blader!"
As she sat the card down, a mighty warrior with a tattered cape appeared while holding a sword (ATK: 1,800).
Christina then replied, "Cool."
"Attack his facedown monster!"
The warrior charged in and a Cyber Commander appeared on the card (DEF: 750) and the warrior swung his sword, cutting the machine in two.
Christina then replied, "One of the most popular monsters with the armed forces these days."
"I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."
James drew a card and replied, "1 monster facedown and I'll activate Foolish Burial."
He took a monster from his deck and discarded it to the graveyard and then he reshuffled and replied, "I'll set a card facedown and that'll end my turn now."
Ginny drew a card and replied, "I now summon my 2nd Blader!"
As she sat the card down, a 2nd of the bladers appeared (ATK: 1,800).

"I end my turn now."
James drew a card and replied, "I summon my Kinetic Soldier!"
As he sat the card down, a android soldier with a cannon on its shoulder appeared (ATK: 1,350).
Christina then replied, "That would be trouble for his monsters!"
"Yes it will. Attack her Junk Blader!"
The cannon began to glow and it fired a burst of energy that shat out, blowing one of her Junk Bladers to atoms (Ginny LP: 8000 - 6450).
Carly then replied, "Good move, babe!"
James smiled and replied, "There ya go. I end my turn now."
Ginny drew a card and replied, "I'll switch Blader to defense postion and then I'll set a new monster facedown and that'll end my turn now."
James drew a card and replied, "I summon my Overdrive!"
As he sat the card down, a military vehicle with a large turret appeared (ATK: 1,600).
"Lets do it. Overdrive, attack!"
The machine fired a barrage of shells and Junk Blader was blown to shards as the attack struck him.
"Soldier, attack!"
The machine fired another burst of energy and a Warrior Lady from the Wasteland appeared on the card (DEF: 1,200) and was atomized as the energy struck her and she replied, "I special summon my Turret Warrior!"
Suddenly, a large bulky warrior appeared (ATK: 1,200).
"I'll end my turn now."
Ginny drew a card and replied, "I activate Tuning! Now I can add a Synchron monster from my deck to my hand!"
He took a monster from his deck and added it to his hand and then she replied, "I now discard the top card of my deck!"
She took the top card (Which was a monster) and discarded it and then she replied, "I now summon the Nitro Synchron I got from my deck!"
As he sat the card down, a cute small fire tank with a face appeared (ATK: 300).
"I now equip my Turret Warrior with Synchro Boost!"
Suddenly, it began to glow (ATK: 1,200 - 1,700 - LV: 5 - 6).
"I now tune my 2 monsters together!"
The small fire tank began to glow as it split apart into 2 white stars, which turned into green rings. The rings went through Turret Warrior, which turned into 6 white stars. As this process happened, Ginny raised her hands in the air and began to chant:
"Clustering minds will now become a new force! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Blaze on, Nitro Warrior!".
As she sat the card down, a fiery green warrior appeared (ATK: 2,800).
"Since I used Nitro Synchron in Synchro Summon, I get to draw a card!"
She did so and replied, "I now play Forbidden Chalice on your Kinetic Soldier!"
Suddenly, the android began to spark (ATK: 1,350 - 1,750).
Christina nodded and replied, "Good move, girl!"
"Attack that thing with Dynamite Knuckle!"
The Synchro went in and smashed the android to pieces with its fists (James LP: 6200 - 5150).
Ginny smiled and replied, "There you go. I end my turn now."
James drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and switch my Overdrive to defense postion and 1 card facedown and that'll end my turn now."
Ginny drew a card and replied, "Justice Bringer, come to the field!"
As he sat the card down, a gold armored warrior appeared (ATK: 1,700).
James then replied, "I notice you're using alot of Yusei Fudo's old cards!"
Ginny then replied, "I respected his deck and the monsters he used and so I made this deck and its a good one. Justice Bringer, attack!"
The warrior went and it struck with his weapon, blowing the machine to scrap.
Nitro Synchron, attack!"
The Synchro flew in and a Science Soldier appeared on the card (DEF: 800) before it was blown into pixels when the fists struck.
"I'll end my turn now."
James drew a card and replied, "I activate Junk Dealer!"
Suddenly, Cyber Soldier of Dark World (ATK: 1,400 - 700) and Science Soldier (DEF: 800 - 400) reappeared on the field.

"I next activate my facedown Soldier Revolt ! Since I have a Kinetic Soldier, Science Soldier and Cyber Soldier of Dark World on my side of the field, you can say goodbye to all the cards in your hand and field!"
As the trap flipped up, a huge blast of enery shot out and atomized bofh of Ginnys monsters and her hand and then she discarded the 3 cards in her hand.
Kelly then replied, "Damn, that is one deadly trap!"
Christina then replied, "Since he used, he cannot have a battle phase this turn."
"Next, I overlay the 3 machines I have!"
Suddenly, all 3 of the machines turned into white orbs and a portal opened up, which they flew into.
"I Xyz Summon...Megaton Tank!"
As he sat the card down, a huge and mighty tank with two cannons appeared (ATK: 2,500).
"Lucky for you, I Can't attack so, its your turn now."

The images of the top 3 cards showed themselves to Ginny and she replied, "I choose the middle card."
She added the chosen cards and then she replied, "I"ll set a monster and that'll end my turn now."

Both drew 3 cards from their decks and replied, "I activate Monster Reborn!"
Suddenly, Nitro Warrior appeared (ATK: 2,800).
"Next, I play Gather your Mind!"
She took another copy of the deck and added it to her hand.
Kelly looked puzzled and replied, "Why did she do that?"
Christina pointed to the Synchro and she smiled and replied, "His ability!"
His fists began to glow (ATK: 2,800 - 3,800).
"Go for the tank!"
The Synchro flew in and smashed into the front of the tank and sparks flew as the Synchro retreated and then the huge tank exploded into a pile of burning. melted metal and then Science Soldier rose to attack postion and she replied, "Nitro Warriors ability. Now, attack his soldier!"

Kelly then replied, "Good move, girl!"
Ginny smiled and replied, "There you go. I end my turn now."
James drew a card and replied, "I now discard 1 card to play Toy Robot Box!"
As he discarded a 2nd Soldier Revolt to his graveyard, 3 tall robots appeared (ATK: 0 x3).
"I now play Sky Union to tribute all 3 of my monsters to summon the best monster of this deck!"
As the 3 tokens vanished into particles of light, a huge airship came out of the sky! It had many cannons and it pointed its main cannon at Ginny's side of the field and its front looked like a head of the action figure (ATK: 2,500).
"Meet the mighty and powerful Air Fortress Ziggeraut!"
Christina then replied, "Holy..shit!"
Kelly then replied, "That thing is fricking huge!"
James looked at his sweetie and replied, "When was sent home after my injury, she bought this card and Sky Union and gave it to me."
"Injury?", a curious Kelly asked.
James nodded and replied, "I was shot in my leg, arm and stomach while going with my troops on a raid in a city in Afghanistan. I only lost 1 guy that day and the rest continued the job and took the city from the insurgents there and gave the city back to the people of the country. It took me 8 months to get over and after I finally recovered, they gave me a honorable discharge and I've been out of the army ever since."
Carly then replied, "My man is a survivor and I love him so much."
Christina then replied, "You have been for so much and you did all of this to serve our country."
James then replied, "It was a true honor serving my time. I now summon my Second Booster!"
As he sat the card down, a large black jet flew into the area (ATK: 1,000).
"I now tribute it to give my Ziggeraut 1500 ATK!"

"Now, attack her Nitro Warrior!"
The airship aimed its cannons and it fired a huge burst of shells and missles that shot out and blasted the Synchro to pieces (Ginny LP: 6450 - 5250).
He smiled and replied, "There you go. I'll set a card and now I'll get a robot token and thats my turn now."
Suddenly, another of the Cyborgs dropped out of the airships mouth and landed next to it (DEF: 0).
Ginny drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and I'll attack your token!"
The bulky warrior went and smashed the token into a pile of broken metal with its body.
"I'll set a card and that'll do it for me."
James drew a card and replied, "2nd Overdrive, come on out!"
As he sat the card down, a 2nd military vehicle appeared (ATK: 1,600).
"I now activate my facedown Shield Crush!"
Suddenly, Fortress Warrior exploded into a shower of pebbles.
"Overdrive, attack!"
The machine fired a barrage of shells and a Morphing Jar appeared on the card (DEF: 600) and was blown to pieces as the attack struck it and then both drew a new hand of 5 cards and then the Airship aimed and fired a barrage of shells that shot out and struck Ginny (Ginny LP: 5250 - 2750) and then another of the tokens apppeared (DEF: 0).
James smiled and replied, "There you go. I'll discard D.D. Crow to banish your Nitro Warrior!"
She took the card and banished it and then he replied, "Now, that'll end my turn now."
Ginny drew a card and replied, "I discard 1 to summon The Tricky!"
As she discarded a Quickdraw Synchron, the odd spellcaster appeared (ATK: 2,000).
"Next, I summon Counselor Lily!"
As she sat the card down, a beautiful female counselor with long pink hair and two white wings appeared with a smile (ATK: 400).
"I now tune my 2 monsters together!"
She began to glow as she split apart into 3 white stars, which turned into green rings. The rings went through The Tricky, which turned into 5 white stars. As this process happened, Ginny raised her hands in the air and began to chant:
"Clustering hopes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon!"
Christina then replied, "No way.."
As she sat the card down, one of the monster beautiful dragons had appeared and It was known as Yusei's Singer Dragon (ATK: 2,500).
James then replied, "No...damn way!"
Kelly then replied, "How is she lucky enough?"
"Next, I play my Call of the Haunted!"
Suddenly, Junk Warrior appeared (ATK: 2,300).
"Next, I'll spend 500 of my lifepoints for Counselor Lilys effect to give my dragon 1000 attack!"
The dragon let out a huge roar (ATK: 2,500 - 3,500).
"Lets fight this. Junk Warrior, attack his token with Scrap Fist!"
The Synchro went and gave a hard punch, blowing the robot to pieces.
"Stardust Dragon, attack his Air Fortress Ziggeraut with Cosmic Flare!"
The dragon opened its mouth and fired its trademark attack and it shot out and went right through the huge airship. Suddenly, explosions happened all over of the huge airship and then the huge airship exploded into a huge fiery explosion and fiery debris rained down onto the ground (James LP: 1450 - 450).
Ginny smiled and replied, "There you go. I'll set a card and that'll be all for now."
James drew a card and replied, "I first play Mystic Wok!"
Suddenly, Overdrive vanished into a burst of pixels and they flew into his body (James LP: 450 - 2050) and he sighed and replied, "Better now. I now play my 2nd Toy Robot Box!"
As he discarded another card, 3 Robot tokens appeared again (DEF: x3) and then he replied, "Thats my turn now."
Ginny drew a card and replied, "I summon my Axe Raider!"
As he sat the card down, the axe-using barbarian appeared (ATK: 1,700).
"Now, wipe out those tokens!"
First, Axe Raider went in and sliced one of the tokens in two with its axe and then Junk Warrior flew and smashed a token with its mighty fist and then Stardust Dragon fired its trademark attack and the final token was reduced to a pile of broken metal.
"That is my turn."
James drew a card and replied, "I pay 1500 lifepoints to special summon my Air Fortress Ziggeraut from the graveyard and equip it with Air Fortress Rebuilding Project!"
As he let out a groan (James LP: 2050 - 550), Ziggeraut reappeared (ATK: 2,500).
"I now play Rush Recklessly! Attack!"
The machine fired its cannon and Stardust Dragon let out a roar of pain as the attack struck it and then it let out a weak roar before it dissolved into particles (Ginny LP: 2750 - 2050).
James smield and replied, "There you go. I activate Mystical Space Typhoon!"
The storm began and the trap shattered to bits and then the Synchro shattered into pixels as well and then he replied, "I'll set a card and thats my turn now."
Ginny drew a card and replied, "I'll switch Axe Raider to defense postion and then I'll set a new monster facedown as well and that'll end my turn now."
James drew a card and replied, "I summon Mechanicalchaser!"
As he sat the card down, the dark machine appeared (ATK: 1,850).
"Lets do it. Attack!"
Ziggeraut aimed and fired a barrage of shells and missles, blowing Axe Raider to atoms.
"Mechanicalchaser, attack!"
The machine went in and a Magician of Faith appeared on the card (DEF: 400) and machine stabbed with its prod and the spellcaster shattered into shards and she took a spell card and added it to her hand.
James smiled and replied, "This duel will be my mine soon. I end my turn now."
Ginny drew a card and replied, "I play Monster Reborn!"
Suddenly, Stardust Dragon appeared with a cry (ATK: 2,500).
"Next, I play Cosmic Flare!"
Suddenly, the dragon began to glow (ATK: 2,500 - 2,800).
"Now destroy that big eyesore!"
The machine fired its trademark attack and it shot out and struck the airship and it blew up in a fiery explosion once again.
Ginny smiled and replied, "When Stardust Dragon destroys a monster while effected by my spell card, you take damage equal to half of the destroyed monsters original attack!"
Suddenly, he let out a groan of pain (James LP: 550 - 0).
Christina then repleid, "You go, girl."
James groaned and replied, "Great dueling, girl. Me and my gal got to go, so see ya all later."
They two left and the girls stared at Ginny and she smiled and replied, "Whats up?"
Christina then replied, "Where did you get the Stardust Dragon card?"
She sighed and replied, "Come back to my house and I'll share everything I know."
Kelly nodded and replied, "Sounds good to me."
Christina then replied, "I'm ready as well."
Ginny nodded and replied, "Lets go, ladies."
