Chapter 22: The Power of the White Dragon
As Yusuke and the others were on their way to the school, Yusuke explained the relationship he had with Kira to Keiko and Kuwabara. After the introductions were made, Kuwabara asked Kira if he was love to date the "Great" Kazuma Kuwabara, but seeing how Yusuke was now overly protective of his little twin sister and how Kira hated to be flirted with the two twins mega ton punched the idiot silly.
As they entered the school courtyard, where all they students were staring at them, wondering who the two girls with Urameshi are. It was a minute and Kira was getting too uncomfortable and latch herself to her brother's arm. Yusuke could sense the uneasiness coming from his sister and gave an icy glare at the students, which got them to their business.
"So Kira, what deck do you run?" Keiko asked
"Oh just dinosaur deck," Kira replied, "Plus, I'm really good, probably later on today I could duel one of your guys. Besides what decks do you guys run?"
"Warriors Deck and Dragon Deck," Yusuke replied
"Fire Attributes!" Keiko added
"Defense Deck!" Kuwabara said
"Fairy and other Light Attribute monsters Deck!" Kagome said
"'Roid' Deck!" Syrus said
Within two minutes, Yusuke and the others, minus Kira and Kagome, who were at the front office, went to their class, with Takanaka coming in later, with Kira and Kagome.
"Good morning students," he greeted, as most of the male population were falling for the two girls and whispering that there really want to date them. However, Kagome and Kira could hear them and sent them an unusual cold glare, which got the boys to shut up and Yusuke, Kuwabara and Keiko's attention, "I would like to introduce Kagome Higurashi and Kira Urameshi. Kagome is the cousin and Kira is the sister of Yusuke Urameshi and will be joining us for the rest of the year."
Kagome was told to sit next to Keiko, while Kira was told to sit between Yusuke and Syrus. Some of the students were giving the two girls weird and strange looks. However, Kira could hear their whispers about her.
"They're related to Urameshi. We're dead if they fight like Urameshi."
"I'm not going near them anymore."
Later it was lunchtime and Yusuke was praising Kira for making a fool of Iwamoto, as he, Kira, Kagome, Keiko, Kuwabara and Syrus went the roof to have their lunch. See Iwamoto called on Kira, since she was a very close relative to Yusuke, every chance he gets, which was annoying the braided girl, so she started making complex sentences, which was frustrating Iwamoto so much.
Yusuke had explained everything that Iwamoto has done to him in the past, which made Kira hate Iwamoto has much as Yusuke and Kuwabara does.
"I'm surprised that, the old fart is still around!" Kira spat, "They should fire him, since he doesn't know when to leave kids alone."
Yusuke and Kuwabara started laughing at that, "So true, sis!" Yusuke praised
Just then, a figure came behind Yusuke, which made the teens turn their attention to him. It was a boy of Yusuke's age, but about the same height as Yusuke's shoulder, with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"May I help you?" Yusuke asked
"Yes, as a matter of fact there is, Urameshi," he said, "I'd like to duel you."
Yusuke's eyes widened at that, "Me duel you, why?"
"Because I've heard some rumors going around saying that you possess the legendary Dark Magician and I want to see it in action."
Yusuke raised an eyebrow, "Why do you want with my Dark Magician?" he asked
The boy smirked, "I want to see how powerful it is, my name's Reginald Haga and dueling is the game."
"Hey Yusuke, dueling this guy could make you stronger as a duelist," Keiko told him, "You should take that offer."
Yusuke shrugged and got out his deck, "Sure why not," he said
A few moments later, Yusuke and Reginald were facing each other, "I hope you're know what you're doing, Reggie!" Yusuke said
"Don't worry I know." Reginald said
The duel disks were activated and their life points reached 8000
"Boku no time, draw!" Reginald draws his card and places it in his hand, "I'll summon Luster Dragon in attack mode and places this card face-down!" an emerald covered dragon appears on the field roaring (ATK: 1900) and a card was placed behind the dragon.
"Keiko!" Just then, Ryoko and Mia were running by the brunette, "What's going on?" Ryoko asked
"And who's that guy dueling Urameshi?" Mia asked
"Some guy, who wanted to see Yusuke's Dark Magician," Keiko replied.
"Is he any good?" Mia asked
"I don't know."
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke draws his card from his deck. When he looked at it and his eyes widened, 'How did this card get into my deck?' he thought and looking at his hand and wondered towards the far right, 'What's going on here?'
Just then, the transparent version of Winged Kuriboh came out of Yusuke's deck, "Hey it's you, Winged Kuriboh."
Winged Kuriboh cooed, speaking to Yusuke, "What you can't be serious?" he asked, "There are only three copies in the world and……"
Winged Kuriboh cooed, interrupting Yusuke, "Okay, if you say so." He said, "I'll summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands in attack mode!" Just then, greenish gray skinned monster with a lot of arms appears on the field (ATK: 1400), "Then, he'll give me a hand, since when its normal summoned, I get to bring out one ritual monster or spell card from my deck to my hand." Yusuke takes out his deck from his disk and searched for it, "But, it won't be in my hand for long because I'll activate it, Go White Dragon Ritual!"
Suddenly gasps were going around the gang, with the exception of Kagome, who was smiling realizing that Yusuke had found the card.
"White Dragon Ritual!" Ryoko exclaimed
"How did Urameshi get a card like that?" Kuwabara asked
Reginald took a step back in shock, "How did you get a card like that, Urameshi!"
"I have no idea, but I'm not complaining!" Yusuke announced, "I'll sacrifice my Manju, with the effect of my spell card, to summon Paladin of White Dragon!" Out of the image of the spell card came a knight dressed in white armor riding a baby Blue-Eyes (ATK: 1900)
"It's Paladin of White Dragon!" Syrus exclaims
"How could that be possible? That wasn't in Yusuke's before!" Keiko added
"I thought only Seto Kaiba possesses that card!" Kira added
"So what, if you summoned one of Seto Kaiba's monsters, they both have the same attack points!" Reginald told Yusuke, who was smirking, "I know that's why I'll sacrifice it to summon forth Blue Eyes White Dragon!" The baby dragon and its knight rider disappeared in a whirlwind and out of that whirlwind stepped a huge white dragon with huge wings and blue eyes appears on the field. (ATK: 3000)
Sharp gasps had occurred as the gang gazed at the dragon, "A Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Mia explained
"There's only three in the world and those belong to Seto Kaiba only!" Ryoko added, in disbelief, "How did Urameshi get a hold of one?"
Keiko couldn't believe it herself, 'Where did Yusuke get that dragon from? The only duelist who has that dragon is Seto Kaiba.'
"Hey Urameshi, how did you get that dragon in your deck!" Reginald exclaimed
"The same answer has the first question, when you asked me where I got White Dragon Ritual and Paladin of White Dragon. Fortunately, for you my Blue-Eyes can't bring its wrath upon the field, but I've got just the card to blow away your Luster Dragon! Go Burst Stream of Destruction!"
"Isn't that the attack Blue-Eyes uses?" Reginald asked
"Yeah, what's the deal of it being a separate card?" Syrus asked
"You're about to find out," Yusuke asked, with a grin, "You see this when Blue-Eyes is out, so now I get to destroy all of your monsters."
"What!" Reginald exclaimed
"That's one powerful card," Kuwabara commented, with Keiko and Kira nodding in reply
"Go!" Yusuke declared, pointing at Luster Dragon, "Obliterate Luster Dragon with Burst Stream of Destruction!" Blue-Eyes lets out a huge white energy formed to a ball at Luster Dragon and the emerald dragon lets out a roar as it's engulfed by the blast.
Reginald let's out a cry as he withstand the impact of Burst Stream of Destruction.
"Awesome!" Kuwabara exclaimed
"Now that guy's all exposed for a direct attack," Syrus added
"Read the fine print, Half Pint," Mia insulted, "Blue-Eyes can't attack on the same turn that Burst Stream of Destruction is used."
The comment got Kuwabara and Syrus's hopes down.
"It won't matter," Yusuke pulls a card from his hand, "I'll activate the spell card, Fulfillment of Contract! By paying 800 life points (YLP: 8000)-(YLP: 7200), I can select one ritual monster in my graveyard and special summon it to the field and with one ritual monster in the graveyard, you can tell who's coming back." Out of the image of the spell card came Paladin of White Dragon back from the grave (ATK: 1900)
"Oh great," Reginald muttered
"Like I said, it doesn't matter if Blue-Eyes can't attack this turn," Yusuke said, "You see, with Paladin I don't need to he'll fill in for Blue-Eyes just fine. Sure he may not be a dragon, but he does manage to tame one and in my book that's tough!" Yusuke added, pointing at Reginald, "Now Paladin of White Dragon attack Ionic Spear Burst!"
At Yusuke's command, Paladin charges towards Reginald as he turned into rushing force and hits Reginald and the blonde cries as his life points dropped (RLP: 8000)-(RLP: 6100)
"That's gotta hurt!" Kuwabara exclaimed
"And I'm not done with you, yet," Yusuke said, as Paladin returns to his true form and returns to Yusuke's side of the field, "By sacrificing Paladin, I can now summon another monster from my hand or deck and it's one that you've already meet, care to guess which, Reggie!"
Reginald grunts in reply, "Actually no," he replied
Yusuke grinned, "Let me give you a hint then, it has blue eyes, white scales, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Paladin and his baby dragon disappeared in a whirlwind and out of that whirlwind stepped Blue-Eyes White Dragon appears on the field, roaring at his appearance. (ATK: 3000)
"Another Blue-Eyes!" Reginald exclaimed
"How could Urameshi have two Blue-Eyes!" Mia exclaimed
"I bet that guy is hoping that Urameshi doesn't have one more Blue-Eyes in that deck of his or he's done for," Ryoko added
"I'll place a face-down!" Yusuke declared as one card was materialized behind one of his mighty dragons, "It's your move!"
Reginald was too shaken up because he was facing against one of the most powerful monsters in duel monsters and grunts, "Boku no time, draw!" he declared, whipping out a card from his card and looking it all, "I'll activate the spell card, Cost Down, now I can summon a higher level monster from my hand a lot easier, by discarding one card from the graveyard to downgrade a monster from my hand by two stars. So I'll summon the Millennium Puzzle in defense mode!" just then, a red shield with yellow sides appears on the field (DEF: 3000), "Next I'll place a face-down and end my turn!"
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke draws his next card, "I'll activate the spell, Card of Sanctity! Now we both draw until we hold six cards in our hands." Reginald and Yusuke drew six cards from their decks, "I'll summon Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode!" A black-cloaked magician appears in front of Yusuke (ATK: 1900).
"Awesome that means that Yusuke can summon the Dark Magician!" Kira praised
Reginald grinned, 'Perfect, now I get to see his Dark Magician.' He thought
"Next, I'll activate the spell card, Spell Reproduction!" Yusuke pulls a card from his hand and slid it in the slot, "Now by discarding two spell cards I can now bring back to my hand a spell card." Yusuke discards Nobleman of Crossout and Swords of Revealing Light to the grave slot and a card is brought back, "And the card I choose is Fulfillment of Contract."
Reginald eyes widened, realizing what Urameshi is about to do, "Next my monster gains a spell counter since I've played a spell!" Yusuke announced as a power node on the monster's costume lit up, "Next, I'll activate the spell card, Fulfillment of Contract, by paying 800 life points (YLP: 7200)-(YLP: 6400) I get to summon Paladin from the grave!" True to Yusuke's word, Paladin and his baby dragon appears on the field. (ATK: 1900), "Don't forget about my magician's special ability, he gains another counter!" Another power node lit up on the magician robe, "But Paladin won't be here for long because I get to summon forth the third and final Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Everyone was at shock at the appearance of third Blue-Eyes (ATK: 3000)
"All three Blue-Eyes!" Mia exclaimed, "No way!"
Reginald had his jaw dropped, "No this is impossible, how could he have all three Blue-Eyes?"
"But I'm not done yet," Yusuke said, "Now I'll play the spell card, Foolish Spell Burial!"
"What does it do?" Reginald asked
"I get to select 1 spell card from my deck and place it in your graveyard and I choose Polymerization!"
"Why would you want to put your spell card in my graveyard?" Reginald asked
"You're about to find out, but let's not forget about my magician's power to gain a counter," Yusuke said, as his magician was now had three power nodes lit up, "Now I'll sacrifice my Skill Dark Magician and in order to summon my Dark Magician!" The Skilled Magician was covered in a whirlwind and disappeared leaving the purple robed magician (ATK: 2500)
"It's Dark Magician!" Ryoko exclaims, with heart shaped eyes
"You're even more pathetic than me!" Syrus barked, glaring at Ryoko
Ryoko returned the glare, "Shut it, Pipsqueak!"
Reginald's grin widened, 'The Dark Magician at last,' he thought
"Now getting back to the reason why I placed Polymerization in your graveyard," Yusuke said, "Now I'll activate the spell card, Double Spell!"
"Uh oh!" Reginald said, knowing what's next, 'It can't be……'
"Now by discarding a spell card from my hand to the graveyard, I can activate a spell card from your graveyard and the card I choose is Polymerization."
"Wait, did he just say 'Polymerization'!" Kuwabara asked, in clarification
"Yeah, which only mean that Yusuke is going to summon one of Seto Kaiba's powerhouse monsters, the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Keiko replied
"I'll fuse my three Blue-Eyes together to summon, the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Yusuke announced, then the three dragons melded together to form the three-headed powerhouse dragon. (ATK: 4500)
Reginald took a step back in shock, "It can't be………"
"It can be and it has, go Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack with Neutron Blast!" At Yusuke's command, Blue-Eyes unleashes its furious attack at Millennium Shield
Reginald grunts, "Hold it right there!" he declares, "I'll activate the trap card, Mirror Force, now say goodbye to your monsters in attack mode!"
"Guess again, I'll activate my spell card, Trap Booster!"
"Awesome, with that spell, Yusuke can activate a trap card from his hand!" Keiko commented
"Now by discarding one card from my hand, I can activate a trap from my hand and the card I choose is Trap Jammer to cancel your trap card!" Yusuke announced
"That's what you think!" Reginald said, "I'll activate my Seven Tools of the Bandit!" Reginald's face-down trap opens up, "Now by paying 1000 life points (RLP: 6400)-(RLP: 5100), I can negate the effect of your trap card!"
Yusuke chuckled, "That's your move, come on, Reggie!" he sneered, "Don't you know a trap like that is worth a dozen. I'll play my own Seven Tools (YLP: 6400)-(YLP: 5400) of the Bandit and by paying 1000 life points I get to negate your own Seven Tools of the Bandit!"
Both of Reginald's trap cards were shattered like glass, "Damn it……" he cursed as his monster is obliterated by Yusuke's three headed dragon, "Now Dark Magician attack with Dark Magic Attack!" Yusuke ordered. The magician twirled his green staff and fired a blaze of dark energy at Reginald, blasting it away a huge amount of his life points (RLP: 5100)-(RLP: 2600)
Reginald was panting as he withstood Dark Magician's attack and thinking how strong Urameshi is, "Oh Reggie!" Yusuke sang
Reginald turned his blue eyes at Yusuke, who was waving a card in his finger and the ex-spirit detective turned the card around for Reginald to see, "De-Fusion!"
"That's right," Yusuke started, "It converted Blue-Eyes back to its pre-fusion form and my battle phase still continues!" The three Blue-Eyes above Yusuke were powering up their attacks, "Now Blue-Eyes attack with White Lightning!" At Yusuke's command, his two dragons hurl their attacks at Reginald and hit him hard as (RLP: 2600)-(RLP: 0000) and he falls on his knees.
"Alright!" Syrus, Kira and Kuwabara cheered
"Okay, here's the question, how did Urameshi get a hold of those Blue-Eyes White Dragons!" Ryoko asked
"Yeah, I thought Seto Kaiba was the only duelist that has all three Blue-Eyes," Mia added
Kagome giggled, knowing that she had to tell them, "I placed those cards in his deck, while he was sleeping last night," she said
The others gave Kagome a puzzled look, "You did?" Keiko said, with disbelief, "But how did you get a hold of those Blue-Eyes?"
"Well, you remember that Yusuke and I are going to be Seto Kaiba's apprentice, right?"
"Yeah"
"Well he gave me two copies of Manju of the Thousand Hands, two copies of White Dragon Ritual, two copies of Paladin of White Dragon, six copies of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, two copies of Burst Stream of Destruction, and two copies of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. The half goes to Yusuke, while the other half goes with me."
"Hold on!" Kuwabara gasped, "You have those cards!"
Kagome got out her deck and gave some of the cards and showed them to the teens, "This is unbelievable!" Mia gawked, "I thought that Kaiba hated anyone else to have a Blue-Eyes White Dragon in their decks, other than himself." Keiko said, "Did he tell you why he wants you to have them?"
Kagome shook her head, in reply, "He just gave me the envelope with the instructions saying that these cards are mine and Yusuke's and not to be traded with anyone else."
Kuwabara snapped his fingers, thinking that he wanted those dragons so bad, but he wasn't the type to steal them from people. (A/N: Hey, he has an honor code, which he follows daily!)
Ryoko asks Kagome, "By the way, who are you, anyways?"
Kagome says, with a sheepish smile, "I'm Yusuke's cousin, my name's Kagome Higurashi!"
Ryoko and Mia yelps and backs away from Kagome and Mia says, winching, "You mean that you're the 'sick girl'!"
Kagome pulls an anime fall and thinks in her mind, annoyed, 'Grandpa!'
Yusuke walked over to Reginald, who was on his knees, "Hey, hope that my triple threat didn't rock you too bad." He said
Reginald got on his feet and glanced at Yusuke, with a smile, "Nah, no worries, I'm fine," he said, "Nice game."
"Right on!" Yusuke said, with a cheerily expression, "You had some pretty sweet moves."
"Yeah, one of the best reasons why I'm in love with dueling," Reginald said, with a smile
Yusuke gave the blonde a puzzled look, "You too," he said, "I should hook you with my cousin, Kagome, the two of you could……"
Reginald held his hand up to stop him, "I know what you're going to say, Urameshi and the answer is no," he said, "My love will and always will be dueling."
Yusuke shrugged, "Okay, but there could be more in life than dueling."
"We'll see, see you around," Reginald said, as he started to walk away and pasted the others and giving Yusuke a sharp glare at the corner of his eye.
