Chapter 31: Ice Cold

-ooo-

Back in the snack bar area of the Target store, the gang was talking with the former souless duelist Rudy beat

James then replied, "I managed to take him out and you're good again."

The owner of the building (Which was a middle-aged man) smiled at him and replied, "I thank you so much for your help on your rescue. As long as that jerk doesn't return, we'll be okay."

Sebastian then replied, "I know someone that'll help with that problem, sir. I can send 2 of my own workers to protect this place from those bastards!"

The owner nodded and replied, "I'll take any help I can."

Sebastian then replied, "Me and my wife will work on that and for now, good night and stay safe."

The gang began to leave and Carol and James were holding hands as they all left the area and she smiled and replied, "I love you, hon."

"Love you too, Carol. Love you too."

-ooo-

Back at the HQ, the picture of Rudy suddenly, went up in dark flames.

Sledge then replied, "Does this mean he's gone for good now?"

Shade then replied, "Not really. He'll be send to my shadow prison I now have. This evil magic is quite powerful, but I'm glad to use it."

Slade then replied, "We'll beat those punks and take them back to us sooner or later, dad."

"I hope this all works."

He looked at Sledge and replied, "You and Bulldog must train all of our duelists to do better in our upcoming duels, Sledge."

"Yes, sir."

He turned around and left and then he replied, "Who's dueling next?"

Shade then replied, "Jayza wants to kick some butt now."

"Send him a apprentice to take over any part of the state he wants. We'll make sure those losers lose patience trying to get one part of the state to the other!"

Slade then replied, "Verry clever plan, dad. Very clever indeed."

-ooo-

Later that night in the outskirts of Minneapolis, two gang members were racing towards the Mystic Lake Casino and Hotel.

The female gang member replied, "You ready for this, Trev?"

He nodded and replied, "Jayza, I'm born ready to go. This will be the perfect spot to take over with our shadow bomb. Once we talk the place down, we'll have so much fun!"

Trev nodded and repleid, "Those idiot Future Fighters would be fools to come to us!"

Jayza then replied, "When they come, we'll be ready for them!"

The two start laughing as they drove down the road towards the Casino.

-ooo-

That following day, the gang was enjoying breakfast in the cafe with Carly and Sebastian.

Carly then replied, "Doesn't Chef Tim know how to cook grub?"

They all nodded and then Carly's cellphone began to ring and she took off her pants belt and pressed the Speaker button on it and replied, "Whats up, Melissa?"

"We have another gang sightning, Carly.", Melissa said. "We just saw a few gang members seal off Mystic Lake from the public! They threw everyone out and they took the joint over!"

Carly then replied, "We'll be out there soon. Are they using any other serious shadow magic?"

"They actually have duel monsters keeping their eyes on the joint! You'll have to fight to get in!"

Carly then replied, "Thanks for letting me know. Let me know about any other information, Melissa."

She hanged up the phonea and replied, "I'm going this time, hon. Its my turn to help."

Sebastian nodded and replied, "I totally agree, sweetie. Go get those bastards!"

Carly smiled back at him and Carol stood up and replied, "I"m dueling next!"

James also stood up and replied, "I'm go wherever she goes..except the bathroom of course."

Carly nodded as he looked at the girls and replied, "You three come as well!"

They got up and they all ran out of the room and Sebastian then replied, "They'll all do just fine."

-ooo-

Back at the HQ, Shade and Slade were enjoying breakfast made by Bulldog.

Shade then replied, "He makes the best almond-crusted french toast."

Slade then replied, "That caviar and lobster omelet was really really good."

Suddenly, Bulldog came in and he smiled and replied, "I see my breakfasts are a hit with you both."

Shade then replied, "How did you ever become such a decent chef, Bulldog?"

Bulldog then replied, "My dad trained me when he was still the chef of the Bermuda Cafe in Miami."

"What happened to him?"

Bulldog sighed and replied, "Do you recall that small plane crash that crashed near the the Flordia Keys that killed all 4 that were inside that was on route to Brazil about 4 years ago?"

They both nodded and Bulldog sighed sadly replied, "My dad and his head waiter were two passengers that day on that plane and when it happened, it hit me, my mom and my 2 sisters hard. After the funeral was done and over with, I give up on my cooking career and me and my mom sold it to someone close to our family that loved cooking. As the years went by, my sisters moved on with their lives and I was still at home living with my mom. Then about 2 years after my dad died in that crash my mom passed away from a heart attack at the age of 53. After I had no family left to help, I become a gang member and joined you guys."

Slade then replied, "Thats too bad that happened to you, Bulldog. Why didn't you tell us this earlier?"

"I didn't want to at the time, sir. I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it, Bulldog. You are a awesome duelist and one of the best members the Beasts ever had!"

Bulldog smiled and replied, "Thank you."

He slowly left the room and Slade then replied, "Man, he's had a hard life."

Shade nodded and replied, "I know, but he's doing much better then before and he's doing alot more for us now then he ever did."

"Thats true, dad. Very true."

Christina smiled and replied, "Yea!"

Suddenly, a burst of cold air shot out and blasted Nisashi into fragments.

"Guys, look up!" Kelly screamed out loud.

They all looked up and saw a huge winged purple skinnned snake flying around them (ATK: 2,400).

As Turret Warrior vanished, the front doors of the casino opened up and Jayza and Trev walked out and Jayza replied, "Damn you all for those monsters!"

Carly then replied, "I knew it. More members of the Savage Beasts!"

Jayza smiled and repleid, "This is our casino and hotel now. Any beasts are allowed!"

Carol took a few steps foward and replied, "How about we have a duel to decide that one, bitch!"

Jayza looked at her and replied, "You have quite a bit of a mouth there! I accept and we can duel in the Mystic Lake Ballroom!"

Carol nodded and replied, "Fine with me!"

-ooo-

About 15 minutes later, the duelists were on the stage and about to duel while the ones watching where watching from the seats.

Jayza smiled, "Ready for your beatdown?"

Suddenly, both machines were completely covered in ice (ATK: 1,800 - 1,000) - (ATK: 3,300 - 2,500).

Christina then replied, Awesome."

"I now discard the final 2 cards in my hand to wipe out your Synchro and your facedown card!"

As she took a trap and a monster called Numbing Grub of the Ice Barrier and discarded them both, the dragon shot out ice and frost from its mouth and it shot out and struck its targets. Jayza's facedown Mirror Force froze up and shattered into pieces and then the Synchro exploded into a fiery cloud of smoke & ash.

"Attack her facedown monster!"

The dragon let out its frosty breath and it shot out and a Dekoichi appeared on the card (DEF: 1,200) and was blown to scrap as the attack struck it and then she drew a card.

"Take that! I end my turn now."

Trev looked at her and replied, "Why didn't you use that spell card to wipe her out? You could of won the duel, Jayza!"

Jayza then replied, "I forgot to use it or set it!"

Trev then replied, "No wonder I beat you every duel we have!"

Jayza looked at him and replied, "You made your point now, so just shut the fuck up already!"

"Attack her directly!"

The dragon opened its heads and it launched a huge burst of ice and frost and it shot out and struck her down (Jayza LP: 5800 - 3100).

"Trishula, attack!"

The dragon unleashed its frost and ice again and it shot out and she replied, "I activate Offensive Guard!"

The attack struck her (Jayza LP: 3100 - 1750) and then she drew a card.

Jayza drew a card and replied, "I play Overload Fusion! And I banish Cyber Dragon, Genex Ally Crusher, Army Genex, Mighty Guard, Triforce and both of my Genex Neutrons to summon my ultimate monster!"

As she banished the 7 monsters, the mighty multi-headed machine apppeared with a huge roar (ATK: ?).

"Meet the mighty Chimeratech Overdragon!"

All 3 of her monsters turned into blue orbs and a portal opened up, which they flew into.

"I use these monsters to construct the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon! Appear now..Brionac, Wyrm of the Ice Barrier!"

Christina then replied, "What?"

As she sat the card down, a very famillar and very imfamous monster appeared (ATK: 2,300).

Trev then replied, "What the hell?"

Carol then replied, "I can explain this. After Brionac was banned because of its broken ability, they wanted to make a non-broken form of the big guy. They made many ideas, but nothing seemed to work and then a couple of years after Xyz monsters were made, they made it into one and its been a hit since and this card is a Championship-only card. My dad Reggie won me this card when he won the USA Championship in New York about 2 years after this card was made. He still duels, but not as othen as he used to."

Carly nodded and replied, "She's really lucky to have such a great dad and the card is really impressive too."

"I can use his ability to bounce a card, but I'll banish the Breakthrough Skill trap in my graveyard to negate your cards effect and reduce it the big goose egg and I discarded the trap with my Dragons ability earlier!"

Suddenly, sparks flew from the heads as she banished the card (ATK: 5,600 - 0).

"Attack his macine to finish him off!"

The dragon opened its mouth and launched a huge burst of ice and frost and it shot out and struck, freezing the huge machine from top to bottom. Seconds later, the mighty fusion broke apart into many pieces of frozen metal (Jayza LP: 1750 - 0).

James then replied, "Yea, baby!"

Christina smiled and replied, "Great dueling, girl!"

Suddenly, Jayza vanished into a cloud of black smoke and Trev gulped and replied, "I'm outta of here!"

Suddenly, a portal opened up and he quickly ran into it and then it vanished and Carly sighed and replied, "Your next, dude!"
