Chapter 18
Jaune decided to tune up his Runner a bit before his duel, he needed it to be at it's best, same with him, he had already looked through his deck to see if there were any problems, no problems there, now his Runner just needed a quick tune up.
Thunder walked in just as Jaune was finishing up his tune up ''Jaune'' he said ''came hear to tell ya about your opponent… wait are you ok, you seem, a bit different- wait is this about the announcement?''
''yeah, it's just, I don't like this why is Caesar giving Grinder and Seraph a duel against us, so I need to keep on guard'' said Jaune.
''good boy, now to your opponent Shambala'' said Thunder ''his style is mostly relying upon trap card to counter his opponents, he uses spellcasters though, hit him before he has a chance to hit you''
''got it'' Jaune nodded.
''are you going to use Firewall Dragon for this duel?'' asked Thunder.
''no
-LINE BREAK-
Meanwhile with Jaune's opponent he was talking with Pierott ''alright we've defiantly confirmed Jaune is a Signer, so just duel him at your best because we need to see how strong he is'' explained Pierott ''but be careful he dueled with Jace Magnum in an unofficial unseen duel and won''
''wait you mean the King lost?'' asked Shambala.
''yes, what you didn't predict that?'' asked Pierott.
''no curious, I guess this Jaune Yu Arc is a worth opponent'' said Shambala ''I did not predict this, very well, I'm ready I'll just go to my Runner''
Pierott nodded and left the room along with Shambala who then walked towards where his Runner was, only to be ambushed from behind.
''so this kid your going up against, beat Jace did he!'' grinned the attacker.
-LINE BREAK-
Meanwhile Moon had joined up with Uang and Thunder, she wanted to watch Jaune's duel in the stands.
''oh I can't wait to see Sonny Speed Duel!'' cheered Uang.
''yeah I want to see Jaune Speed Duel too!'' cheered Moon.
'I'm a bit worried, Jaune better keep his guard up' thought Thunder 'this guys good and we still don't know what Caesar wants with him, we know it might have something to do with this Signer stuff I mean just look at it all, Him, Moon, Jace, Renegade, they're all great duelists yeah, but they're also Signers, keep your guard up Jaune'
-LINE BREAK-
Just as Jaune was about to ride out, Renegade stood there waiting for him ''just wanted to wish you luck handsome, don't think you'll need it though'' said Renegade.
''thanks Renegade'' said Jaune.
''oh don't go off yet, I've got a good luck charm for you'' smiled Renegade ''close your eyes''
Jaune shrugged and did as she said, just then he felt something soft on his lips, he opened his eyes to see Renegade had pulled her mask up ''good luck honey'' she smiled.
Jaune just rubbed his lips, he was guessing she had just pecked him on the lips, he quickly shook his head to clear his head of the distraction and got ready to drive out.
''Alright everyone now lets give it up for our next two duelists, first up we got a tough guy rebel who is infamous in both the Satalite and hear in Neon city, you and I both know him as the Lawbreaker but he's known by another name, Jaune Yu Arc!''
With those words Jaune burst out into the arena and stopped at the starting point, everyone was booing him and saying hateful things, but Jaune just shrugged it off.
''And now his opponent a man shrouded in cloaks and mystery's one man only known as Shambala!'' cheered the announcer.
This time the crowd did cheer as Shambala burst out, wearing his signature robes and riding a Runner that looked suspiciously familiar, Shambala parked right next to Jaune ''oh Hell Yeah, you ready kid?'' he asked.
''as ready as ever'' smirked Jaune.
''heh, your rather cocky, I like that'' said Shambala.
''alright duelists take your marks and get set, first one to make the corner makes the first move'' stated the announcer ''and… GO!''
Jaune and Shambala went at there top speed both of them neck and neck, but by one inch Shambala won out and got the first turn, it was then that he grinned ''well best let it out'' he smirked throwing the cloak off and revealing himself, this shocked Jaune, Jace, Caesar, Pierott, the announcer and everyone in the crowd, it was Toyoyama.
''hey everyone'' he grinned ''see Shambala couldn't make it, so he figured I was the best guy to fill his shoes, so hear I am! Whatcha think Jaune? Duel me or let down this crowd of people by backing off?''
''bring it on!'' Jaune grinned.
''oh Hell Yeah!'' cheered Toyoyama.
''well- err- I don't… oh hold up'' said the announcer before listening to an earpiece he had on ''oh what's this, Caesar has given us a go yo!''
everyone cheered and the duel began ''my move I draw'' said Toyoyama.
Jaune: 1
Toyoyama: 1
''I'll start by summoning my Ancient Dragon, Brachiobaby'' said Toyoyama ''and then I'll throw three cards face down and end my turn at that''
a red and green Brachiosaurus with an egg shell around it's neck and upper body appeared, it was running beside Toyoyama at a steady pace.
Ancient Dragon, Brachiobaby
Level: 3
Attack: 900
Defense: 900
''my move then'' said Jaune drawing his card.
Jaune: 2
Toyoyama: 2
''I'll start by summoning my Cyberse Wizard in attack mode'' said Jaune ''and using his ability I'll switch your, Brachiobaby to defense mode and by doing so I can deal damage to your life points and with that Cyberse Wizard will attack your Brachiobaby''
Cyberse Wizard branded his staff ready to fire a blue lightning bolt.
''then I'll activate two of my trap cards, first trap is Ancient Cry, this card allows me to special summon a level 4 or lower dinosaur monster from my hand, so I'll special summon my Ancient Dragon, Frostadon'' stated Toyoyama.
A dark grey ceratosaurus appeared with a nose horn of ice, it had a spike of ice spikes and its teeth looked to be made of ice as well.
Ancient Dragon, Frostadon
Level: 4
Attack: 1900
Defense: 0
''second trap is Ancient Instinct, so with this I can destroy my Brachiobaby and special summon a level 4 or lower monster from my deck and I'll special summon my Ancient Dragon, Shellsaur'' said Toyoyama.
A new edmontonia dinosaur with red scales and a black shell, with silver steel blades, it looked stern as it curled up in defense mode.
Ancient Dragon, Shellsaur
Level: 4
Attack: 1600
Defense: 2000
''and now since my Brachiobaby was destroyed by an effect I can now special summon a monster that's one level higher from my hand so I'll special summon my Ancient Dragon, Brachiobeam''
a new sauropod appeared, it was large with green stripes and grey skin, it had a thick armored back and strong tail with a spiked club on the end opening its mouth to bellow it fired a beam of light from it.
Ancient Dragon, Brachiobeam
Level: 4
Attack: 1700
Defense: 700
''and with my Brachiobaby's destruction I can activate the trap card, Ancient Rupture, this stops the battle phase'' smirked Toyoyama.
''fine I'll end my turn with three face downs'' said Jaune.
''my move then I draw'' said Toyoyama.
Jaune: 3
Toyoyama: 3
''hmm, now I can make my gateway to the past'' smirked Toyoyama.
''here it comes'' said Jaune to himself.
''Hell Yeah! now with these three I set the Link Marks and Link Summon!'' called Toyoyama ''Ancient Dragon, Emperor Gaia !''
a large triceratops looking creature appeared, it had a blood red frill, it had blood red horns as well, it had six eyes and had stone like armor, it had an axe like tail and spikes on its spines.
''wait I thought-'' Jaune started.
''my ace was Crimson Tyranno?'' asked Toyoyama ''yeah it's still in my deck but this is my new best monster!''
''ok then'' said Jaune ''lets see what it can do''
''well first I'll summon my Iguanogore'' said Toyoyama summoning the dinosaur ''and then Gaia will attack, oh and just so you know since Frostadon was used for a Link Summoning your Wizards attack points become 0''
''well then I guess it's a good thing I have my Scrap Iron Scarecrow'' said Jaune as the Scarecrow appeared and blocked the.
''oh well good thing it has an effect to sacrifice a monster it's pointing to and attack again'' grinned Toyoyama as the large Triceratops bit down on the Iguanodon and ate it before charging again this time it succeeded in destroying Cyberse Wizard.
Jaune: 4000 – 2400 = 1600
''and now since my Emperor destroyed a monster by battle I can now special summon a Ancient Dragon from my graveyard'' explained Toyoyama ''welcome back Frostadon and then my Iguanagore's effect activates and I can special summon another Iguanagore from the deck and then my Gaia can attack again by sacrificing Iguanagore''
''of course this brings out another Iguanagore'' said Jaune.
''right'' grinned Toyoama as another one appeared.
''then I'll activate my facedown Three Strikes Barrier and with this my life points are safe'' said Jaune as a purple shield formed around him protecting him from the triceratops.
''darn thought I had you, now to keep my Emperor on the field all my other monsters have to be destroyed'' growled Toyoyama as the triceratops ate the other dinosaurs ''but don't worry before you begin your turn I wouldn't want this game to be boring so I'll help ya out with card of sanctity, so go on draw till you have 6 cards same with me and I'll end the turn with a facedown''
''my turn'' said Jaune drawing.
Jaune: 4
Toyoyama: 3
Jaune looked at his hand, he now had an idea on how to win it this turn, if not win at least push Toyoyama back, but he'd have to sacrifice all of his Speed Counters to do it.
''alright, I'll start with Special Summoning Linkslayer, since you have monsters and I don't'' said Jaune ''after that I'll use Backup Secretary's ability to special summon her, after that I'll use Backlinker's ability to special summon him''
A new dinosaur appeared, but this one looked like some kind of robot dinosaur, it's limbs seemed to float and so did it, the dinosaur looked very cartoonish with a satellite tail and network lines running all over it
Backlinker
Type: cyberse
Level: 3
Attack: 1600
Defense: 0
''next Backlinker's special ability activates and I can sacrifice him and destroy all monsters in the extra deck zone'' said Jaune.
The little dinosaur pointed its tail at Gaia Emepror and fired a blue lightning bolt.
''well sorry to inform ya, but I have a face down Ancient Repel, this allows me to negate your Backlinker's effect and destroy it'' said Toyoyama, the card fired a bolt of lightning which broke the blue lightning bolt and hit Backlinker destroying it.
''oh well, now to plan B, next I'll activate Double Summon, this allows me to summon two monster's and those will be my Stack Reviver and Scan Doll'' said Jaune.
Stack Reviver appeared along side this weird robot that looked like a doll, it was specifically designed to look like a doll, with what looked to be a dress and pigtails and it had a single eye.
Scan Doll
Type: Cyberse
Level: 3
Attack: 100
Defense: 1600
''oh so your going for a Link Summoning?'' asked Toyoyama ''Hell Yeah! Bring it!''
''now I can make a new circuit to the future'' said Jaune as Linkslayer, Backup Secrtary and Revive Stacker flew into the arrows ''I Link Summon Excode Talker!''
a larger bulker version of Decode and Encode Talker appeared, this one was a shade of dark green though, with golden outlines on its armour, it had green network lines on the areas that were not armoured and it had yellow gems on its body in areas.
Excode Talker
Type: Cyberse
Link Markers: ⬅️⬆️➡️
Attack: 2300
Jaune looked down at his arms as he glowed green for a second ''its like when Corcea Mors changed, never mind'' said Jaune to himself ''next I'll use Stack Revivers effect to bring back Backup Secretary'' said Jaune.
''ok this ones been hyped up now show me what it's got!'' grinned Toyoyama.
''I'll now activate Excode Talkers effect, this allows me to declare two of your monster card zones unusable because of Excode Talker and Emperor Gaia being in the extra deck monster zone, so I'll jam up the area's that your Gaia Emepror is pointed to'' said Jaune as Excode Talker formed two green spheres and threw them at Toyoyama's side of the field.
''damn my Gaia's other effect was to special summon a dinosaur monster from the graveyard and negate an attack'' growled Toyoyama.
''that's not all I now activate the equip spell United We stand'' said Jaune.
''ha, but now your all outta Speed Counters!'' chuckled Toyoyama.
''yeah but it was worth it because now my Excode Talker gains 800 attack points for himself and the other monsters'' said Jaune.
Excode Talker: 2300 + 800 + 800 + 800 = 4700
''now Excode Talker will attack your Emperor Gaia '' ordered Jaune.
Excode Talker held out its arms and summoned two claws and charged forwards towards Gaia Emepror who charged at him, they passed each other and stood still for a while before Gaia Emepror exploded and Excode Talker stood back up and gave a thumbs up.
Toyoyama: 4000 – 2300 = 1700
''eh can't finish me off though I mean Backup Secrtary is in defense mode and that Doll only has 100 attack points'' smirked Toyoyama.
''and one hell of an ability, she can sacrifice herself to allow Excode Talker to attack again'' said Jaune as Scan Doll burst into gold light and Excode Talker brought out its claws again.
''n-no this can't be!'' cried Toyoyama.
''looks like modern day technology beats Ancient Dinosaurs'' smirked Jaune ''Excode Talker finish this''
Excode Talker charged forwards and slashed finishing off Toyoyama.
Toyoyama: 1700 – 3900 = 0
''and with that flashy finish the winner is Jaune Yu Arc!'' the announcer announced.
-LINE BREAK-
''yes, he won, he won, he won!'' cheered Moon jumping up and down joyfully.
''that was incredible!'' cheered Uang.
''that was one victory'' said Thunder.
Renegade who was watching from the waiting room just smiled ''knew he'd win'' she said to herself, before standing up and walking out, today's duels were over, no point hanging around.
-LINE BREAK-
Meanwhile on the tracks Jaune walked over to Toyoyama ''that was a great duel Toyoyama'' said Jaune.
''yeah it was'' chuckled Toyoyama ''sorry it's just I haven't had that much fun in a long time, now I ain't taking this loss sitting down, but whatcha say lets duel again one day!''
Jaune just smirked ''Hell Yeah!''
''and now with the end of that incredible duel I can safely declare Jaune will be dueling either Grinder or Steven Seraph, so we'll start with him and shuffle who his opponent will be'' said the Announcer.
The screen flashed with a picture of Jaune with half the screen being black and the middle of the screen saying 'vs.' the other side then started to spin at a rapid pace until it stopped.
''Jaune is dueling Grinder!'' cheered the announcer, Jaune smirked he wanted to duel Grinder from day one since Grinder made that speech and now he had the chance, he was going to duel Grinder and that was that ''and now lets see who Seraph duels is it Moon or Renegade''
the same thing that happened with Jaune's picture happened hear, until finally it stopped ''the one who will duel Steven Seraph is Moon!''
