Chapter 8

Jaune and Thunder were in position ready to duel, the rest of the prisoners laughing at Jaune for his decision.

''you wanna duel with the old guys deck Lawbreaker!?'' one said.

''guess he's not as smart as everyone says'' said another.

''who knows they are bunk mates maybe crazy is contagious'' said a third.

''Uang just ignore them they don't know what they're talking about'' said Jaune.

''come on then'' said Thunder ''lets see if you can duel better than the old guy''

''you don't have to do this sonny'' said Uang.

''I have to, for one if I don't I won't live this down and for another I swore that I'd never let people like him win again'' said Jaune ''don't worry I'll show him the worth of these cards''

Uang looked at Jaune for a while, something was different about Jaune, he seemed to have this aura to him that gave off power and strength, like you were facing him and three others all at once.

''around hear you survive on respect'' said Thunder ''and to get respect you have to win''

''then pray that I by some miracle I let you win'' said Jaune.

''let's duel'' they both said.

''I'll start, I draw'' said Thunder ''I'll start this game by summoning my Nebula Princess in attack mode*''

a teenage girl appeared dressed in purple robes and a large tiara appeared, she was covered with a blue cloak and her eyes were completely black and seemed to have the stars in them.

''with that I'll throw two cards face down and end my turn hear'' said Thunder ''come on Lawbreaker if you really are that good then use that useless deck in a way that wasn't as pathetic as the last guy'' Uang fidgeted and Jaune saw he felt he knew why.

''don't worry about it Uang, dueling gives life to cards'' said Jaune ''that is a duelists duty, since he stepped on them they felt pain, so I'll now give them joy in winning''

Jaune then drew his card and looked at his hand so far it contained Crystal Skull, Ashoka Pillar, Cursed Mask, Spirit Mask, Stonehenge, Curse Reflection Doll and Triangle O.

''eh whatever you do don't use the Crystal Skull'' called Uang.

''the Crystal Skull eh? Good thinking'' said Jaune taking the card.

''what are you doing I said don't use it!'' cried Uang.

Too late the Skull was already on the field; it surged with electricity before shocking Jaune, everyone laughing, but Thunder he seemed ready to blow.

''what you trying to mock me!?'' growled Thunder ''you trying to mock me by jerking my chain, well you know what whatever, see if I care about you digging your own grave''

''oh I'm digging who's grave?'' asked Jaune raising a brow ''its true this is a suicidal effect, in fact playing this deck is quite suicidal, it's a self destruction deck if I were to give an accurate description of it, but you can find uses in self destruction decks, like this card''

Jaune then activated a spell card, the Curse Reflection Doll, suddenly a large white Hitogata doll appeared and absorbed the electricity, turning black before flying into the sky and bursting into many black dolls, these dolls then blew towards Thunder like a blizzard, brushing past him and damaging him.

Thunder: 4000 – 1000 = 3000

''what happened why did Thunder get damaged?'' asked an inmate.

''what did you do?!'' cried Thunder ''what was that card?!''

''Curse Reflection Doll, you see by activating this spell I take no damage and the damage I would have taken is given to you'' said Jaune ''tough luck''

''what'' said Thunder in shock.

''I'm so glad someone other than me can see the value of these cards'' said Uang brightly.

''I've never found a card I didn't like, you see each card can be used to great effect, you might need a while to find out how but every card in this game is useful'' said Jaune.

''so you don't think they're worthless?'' asked Uang.

''are you kidding this deck is incredible'' said Jaune ''self destruction yes, but it gives you cool ways to work around that''

Uang smiled ''I knew someone could see these cards value other than me, I just knew it''

''hmmm this might actually be interesting'' smirked Thunder ''lets see how much life you can squeeze out of that deck, now its my turn I draw and I'll activate Cost Down''

''hear it comes'' said jaune recognizing this move.

''with that I'll sacrifice my Nebula Princess to summon my Cosmo Queen'' said Thunder summoning said monster ''but don't forget that I can release my Cosmo Queen to summon my Astral Queen, but don't worry were not done there because when Nebula Princess is in my graveyard all Princess and Queen monsters gain an additional 500 attack points''

Astral Queen: 3000 + 500 = 3500

''oh come on'' groaned Jaune ''what didn't think she was powerful enough so you needed to give her a boost!''

''oh I'm not done, she's going to attack your Crystal Skull now'' said Thunder ''go Astral Thunderbolt''

Astral Queen fired a white lightning bolt from her hand which hit the Crystal Skull and caused it to crumble and break.

''well since Crystal Skull has 0 attack and defense points I don't take damage from Astral Queens effect so there's that at least'' said Jaune ''now it's my turn I draw and I'll summon Ashoka Pillar'' the large iron poll erupted from the ground and stood there tall and proud.

''Shut up!'' growled Thunder ''come on lets see how much life you can squeeze from that deck''

''done'' said Jaune ''I'll start by activating Stonehenge, this lets me summon back a monster with 0 attack points so I'll bring back my Crystal Skull''

The large Crystal Skull appeared and then shocked Jaune causing all the inmates to laugh.

Jaune: 4000 – 1000 = 3000

''is his skull as empty as the Crystal Skull?'' asked one of them ''cause unless he has another one of those Doll cards he can't reflect it''

''hmmm interesting what are you up to?'' asked Thunder.

''you'll see'' said Jaune ''I'll place this face down and end my turn''

Thunder grinned as a plan formed in his head ''now I attack the Ashoka Pillar'' he said, Astral Queen held up her hand and fired a blast of white lightning.

''not so fast'' said Jaune ''I'm going to activate the Totem Poll trap card''

A totem poll appeared and fired one of its sections at Astral Queen it took the lightning blast and tackled Astral Queen knocking her back before it exploded.

''keep it coming cause Totem Poll can block you three times that's one'' said Jaune.

''I don't believe it'' said Uang ''this is amazing with my deck you'll win''

''Ha no he won't cause now I can activate my trap card'' stated Thunder as a black hole opened ''it's called Black Hole Gateway* with this in play if your monsters want to attack they have to go through the black hole which will cut there attack points in half, but also I can remove it from play next round and destroy every monster on your side of the field, after that I'll throw two cards face down''

''I take it back kid your not gonna win'' said Uang sadly.

''don't give up now Uang'' said Jaune ''because its my turn''

'come on kid, lets see what you got, because my field is perfect, I got Trap Hole to destroy your powerful monsters and Mirror Force to destroy the little ones you think you can send right at me, this has me exited, this reminds me of the old days, the days of the pro circuit, until I lost to the king, to Jace Magnum' thought Thunder sadly 'it went down hill from there, I gave up the pros, but not dueling, I dueled illegally and that is how I ended up hear, but this reminds me of old time, the old days, I like this, its getting me fired up!'

''alright my turn'' said Jaune before thinking to himself 'I know this deck will give me what I need, I can fight it, I can stop it, I can win I just need to believe, I know this deck will help me win' Jaune drew and smirked as he saw the card, it was the Piri Reis Map.

''I activate the Piri Reis Map, using this effect I can add one 0 attack point monster to my hand, but if I summon it I lose half my life points'' said Jaune, the duel disk slid one card out which Jaune grabbed ''I'll go with this one the Cabrera Stone and I'll also summon it in attack mode to avoid its ability of destroying itself and hitting me with 2000 points of damage''

A large black stone with white carvings appeared, the carvings appeared to be that of a man fighting some large monster, several waves then came off from the stone

Jaune: 3000 - 1500 = 1500

Cabrera Stone

Level: 1

Type: rock

Attack: 0

Defense: 0

''oh wow- OH WOW!'' cheered Uang ''this is a dream come true, Crystal Skull, Ashoka Pillar, Cabrera Stone all at once, even the best museums don't host collections as rare as this! I'm getting goosebumps just looking at this!''

''I don't get it'' said Thunder ''summoning that rock meant losing half your life points why would you do that''

''to win'' said Jaune.

''what?'' asked Thunder.

''sorry but this is over now'' said Jaune.

''oh your going to activate it aren't you!'' cheered Uang exited to see it.

''oh hell yeah I am, sorry Thunder but it all ends with this'' said Jaune ''I activate Triangle O!''

A large triangle started to open, covering the whole field and everything started to break, even the Black Hole Gateway collapsed on itself.

''w-what's going on!'' panicked Thunder.

''Triangle O allows me to destroy everything and then deal you damage for the monsters effects'' said Jaune ''respect this bitch!''

The rare treasures broke, but they remained in a kind of energy form before they shot beams towards Thunder blasting him with 4000 points of damage.

Thunder: 3000 - 4000 = 0

After that all the inmates rushed to Thunder and Uang rushed to Jaune ''my boy, my boy, my boy, that was amazing, I've travelled the world over but I have never seen someone duel that incredibly, you never needed to attack even once, I would hug you but don't worry I won't'' said Uang.

''I couldn't have done it without this amazing deck Uang'' said Jaune.

''you know what I will hug ya'' said Uang who then gripped Jaune in a tight hug.

Thunder got up and made his way over ''what do you want?'' asked Jaune.

''that was amazing, you never even attacked once'' said Thunder ''hey it's getting tiring calling you Lawbreaker so you got a name?''

''it's Jaune'' said Jaune.

''hey I want to apologise Uang for being a giant douch and stepping on your cards'' said Thunder.

''aw don't worry, just look'' said Uang holding up his cards ''you had me doubting there worth but Sonny showed me just how amazing they are, you really are something Sonny, look Thunder I think the Crystal Skull is still laughing at your defeat''

''yeah it looks like that to me too, look Jaune my time in the pros is over, but I'll do anything to give you a chance Jaune'' said Thunder holding out his hand.

''thanks Thunder that sounds awesome'' said Jaune, Jaune reached out and shook his hand.

''alright break it up'' said a guard walking in ''guess what its your lucky day Lawbreaker, the Warden wants to see you!''
