Chapter 34-Cheer Up Mike! Heroic Tips from the Amazing Were HERO-
Mike looked very depressed from the last Duel he had, against Vlad. He was sitting on the park bench, sticking near with Hannah and the new guy, Jace.
"Come on, Mike! Cheer up!" Hannah tried to get his attention, but with no use. "Forget about that creepy jerk, Vlad! You are good...no..AWESOME Duelist!"
Mike continued to stare down to the ground. Hannah sighed, almost on the verge of giving up from trying to cheer him up.
"Hey, Mike." Jace spoke up. "Let's have a Duel."
Suddenly, Mike pulled up his depressed face and looked at him surprised. "What?" He said, with a confused look.
"I said let's have a Duel." Jace repeated.
"But..." Mike looked back down.
"Listen, Mike. As a Duelist, we have to learn from our loss, and we cannot stay being all moody and sad for the rest of the day. So, let's have a Duel." He said, activating his gray Duel Disk.
Mike stood up from the bench and faced against Jace. "I..guess so. Even though I don't see the point." Mike said, slowing activating his blue Duel Disk.
Hannah watched quietly from the sidelines as she sat on the bench.
"Duel Mode Standby! Action Field Selection on!" The roulette program on the Duel Disks spun its wheel until it landed on a Field Spell. "Action Field Selected! Field Spell: Rainbow Jungle activates!"
The surrounding park area transformed into what appears to be a beautiful jungle with many different colors of the rainbow. The leaves on the trees were green like the real one, but the base or trunk and branches were red. Some trees grew fruit with different colors, like red apples, yellow bananas, orangery orange, green pears, and even rainbow-colored coconuts. There was also a huge waterfall, streaming down like a lightning as it created beautiful double rainbows.
"This Field Spell is very pretty to look at it, but we have a Duel to do, not viewing a scenery." Jace said. "Ahem! Duelists locked in battles!"
Mike didn't say any words, but before it becomes too quiet, Hannah spoke out to continue the oath after Jave started it. "Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monsters! They storm through the air!"
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!" Jace added.
"Action...DUEL!" Both he and Mike stated, although Mike said in a softer voice.
The action cards above them burst and scattered into the jungle.
"I will go first." Jace began. "Mike! I promise you that after this Duel, you will never be the person you are right now! Let's go! My first member of the pack! Were HERO Marron Man!"
A half dog half man creature appeared with light golden curly fur, and a collar around his neck with an orange bone that has a large capital M on it. It howled, echoing through the jungle and showed off its 1500 ATK.
Jace looked around, and noticed an Action card on a rock. He picked it up and decided to use it. "This should be good. I activate the Action Spell: Power-Power Fruit!" He said.
The Spell card depicted a very muscular mango. "With this card, my monster gains 300 ATK points and your Life Point is inflicted with damage equals to its ATK!" Jace explained.
Suddenly, winds blew through the jungle, making the muscular mangos fell from the tree. Marron Man caught one of them, and ate it immediately. When it did, its muscles grew bigger, and it flexed its arms and chest as its ATK increased to 1800.
"Battle! Marron Man! Direct Attack with Barking Barrage!" His monster roared loudly at Mike with sound waves. The waves hit him, making him trip on his back.
"Ouch!" Mike cried. His Life Points went down to 2200.
"I set a card and end my turn. Were HERO Marron Man's ATK is returned to normal during this End Phase." Jace finished. His monster was just flexing its muscles to show off until it realized the effect wore off.
Mike got up. "That really hurt." He complained.
"You need to pay attention to your surroundings. You were staring down the ground when my monster attacked you." Jace said.
"Oh!" Mike realized. "Well, OK. I guess it is my turn. I draw."
He drew his card, but not in his usual energetic way. He added the drawn card to his hand.
"I Normal Summon Victory Fighter Origin Man." He stated. A large cave man with pants and a shirt in a pattern similar to Fred Flintstones appeared as it swung its large bone as a club. He had hairy large arms, a big nose, and red hair covering its eyes.
"Battle. I declare Origin Man to attack your Marron Man." Mike declared in a soft tone.
Origin Man, despite the hair covering his ears, heard Mike's command. He swung his boney club on Marron Man. It howled before it exploded.
"Not bad." Jace complimented as he took 300 damage. "However, destroying my monster allow me to activate its effect."
"What's that?" Mike asked, feeling little bit more alerted.
Jace smiled at him, feeling that Mike was opening up. "Were HERO Marron Man's effect activates! Return of the Loyal Dog! When it is destroyed and sent to the Graveyad, I can pay 500 Life Points and if I do, Marron Man is Special Summoned back with 3000 ATK points during the End Phase."
"Wait...what!?" Mike gasped.
"I pay 500 Life Points, so when you finished your turn, Marron Man will back to the field!" Jace elaborated.
"Um. I set a card and end my turn." Mike finished.
"Sweets! With that, Marron Man is back, stronger than ever!" The monster that Mike destroyed returned with higher ATK (3000).
"My turn, I draw!" Jace drew his card excitedly. He suddenly ran into the jungle. Mike chased after him.
"Where did he go?" Mike said to himself as he searched for him frantically. Little did he know that Jace was up on the tree alongside his monster, looking down at him. He had an Action card in his hand.
"Ready, Marron Man?" He whispered to his monster, which it nodded in return.
"I activate the Action Spell: Hidden Strike!" This Spell showed a leopard hiding in the bushes, sneaking on a okapi eating fruit peacefully.
Mike looked up, noticing Jace and his monster jumped out for an attack. "With this card, my monster can destroy one monster on your side of field and you take damage equals to its ATK!" Jace explained.
Marron Man howled again, using sound waves to destroy Origin Man. The impact of the wave caused Mike to trip again. "Ouch! Not a again..." He cried as his Life Points decreased by 1800. His Life Points were now at 400.
"In exchange, Marron Man cannot attack for this." Jace admitted as he hold on a vine and swing through the tree like a jungle man.
He stopped on one tree branch. "Next, I normal summon my favorite member of the pack, Were HERO Beaver Bomber, and activate the Continuous Spell: Totem Betrayal from my hand!"
A new monster appeared next to Marron Man. This one was a large beaver holding a bag full of bombs. It had 1600 ATK points. The Continuous Spell card looked like a totem pole with many different negative facial expression of different animals.
"I activate Totem Betrayal's effect!" Jace proclaimed. "Once per turn, I can switch control of one Were HERO Monster on my field to your field and when I do, I gain 1000 Life Points! Switcheroo!"
Suddenly, Were HERO Beaver Bombe disappeared from his field and reappeared on Mike's side. "Woow!" He jumped in surprise.
"Wait! Hold on! Why did he give his monster to Mike!?" Hannah asked.
"Umm...Thank you?" Mike said, looking confused although.
"At this point, Were HERO Beaver Bomber's effect activates!" Jace announced excitedly.
Suddenly, Beaver Bomber threw out bombs from its bag as it exploded around Mike's side. "Hey, woooh! What are you doing!?" Mike yelled.
"You see, Mike. When Were HERO Bomber Beaver is switched to other player's control than its owner, it destroys all other cards on your field!" Jace elaborated.
Beaver Bomber destroyed Mike's set card. Suddenly, Beaver Bomber walked over to Jace's side. "After it destroyed all your cards on your field, it return back to my side! Pretty cool, don't you think?" Jace asked with a wink.
"Well. I got to say that was...amazing." Mike complimented him.
"Thank you! With that, I end my turn!" Jace finished as he used the vine and went swinging again. "Aaah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!"
"My turn, I draw!" Mike chased after him as he drew his card. They stopped at a clear ground near the waterfall.
"Jace has 4200 Life Points while Mike has 400 Life Points!" Hannah thought. "Come on, Mike! I know you can do this!"
Mike looked at the cards he had and noticed he has two Pendulum Cards. "With these two, I can set the Pendulum Scale and Pendulum Summon my monsters!" Mike thought. "But, wait!"
Pictures of his Duel with Vlad appeared through his thoughts, which reminded him of his unlucky defeat. "No! I can't do this!" Mike thought. "I...set a monster card in Defense position. Turn end."
A blue orb with red eyes appeared on his side. Jace stared at him with serious look. "Is that really it, Mike?" He questioned to him.
"Um, what do you mean?" Mike asked.
"I noticed that flare in your eyes, but you changed your mind about it. You should have do it, instead of setting a monster." Jace said to him, trying to encourage him.
"Well,...it is my turn, so I can do whatever I want." Mike argued back.
"Hmph! If that is how you want to Duel, then let me show you how Dueling really works! My turn, I draw!"
Jace drew his card so strongly that he created wind when he drew his card. He looked at the card and smiled. "I Normal Summon Were HERO Falcon Swoop!"
This new monster was a humanoid monster with red wings and a falcon head.
"Three Level 4 monsters...could this be!?" Hannah thought surprisingly.
"With these 3 Level 4 members of my pack, I use them to construct the overlay network!" Jace declared. His three monsters or his three member of the pack turned into three beams of energy. They swallowed into the galactic portal.
"Noble master of the totem, howl your glory through day and night, to call upon the power of the ancients! With it, slash your enemies with your heroic might! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Were Lord Totem Master!"
A grey werewolf appeared, wielding a half silver and half gold sword. Three yellow comets orbited around its body.
Mike stepped back, making himself trip this time. He felt afraid, possibly reminding him the creepy Ritual monster that Vlad used, Psytronics Shadow Puppet.
"Mike!" Hannah shouted.
"Uh! Aaah!" He cried in fear.
"Do not fear afraid, Mike! This is a Duel, and we are doing this for the fun!" Jace yelled at him.
"I...I can't! Your monster is too powerful (it had 3100 ATK)! There is no way I can beat it!" Mike whined.
"Do no whine, Mike! You are fine Duelist! I know that you can face this monster! You just have to believe in yourself and find the reason why you are Dueling!" Jace said.
"Find my reason why I'm Dueling..." Mike repeated to himself.
-Flashback-
A little boy was Dueling against a big, muscular man. "Come on, Mike! Show me what you got!" The man said.
"Go, Victory Fighter Hope! Attack!" Little Mike declared as his monster leap for an attack.
"Trap open! Ring of Destruction!" The man proclaimed.
"Oh no!" Mike cried as his ace exploded and lost all of his Life Points.
The man won the Duel, and walked over to him. "Are you alright, champ?" He asked.
"Daddy! You are too strong!" Mike whined, almost going to cry.
"Don't cry, my son! You did great in this Duel! You almost got me!" His father chuckled.
"But, I want to beat you!" Mike pouted.
"That's the spirit, my boy! Use that for your reason of Dueling! Then, you will become stronger! Hahahahah!"
-Flashback-
"Hey, Mike! Mike!" Jace yelled at him. His yell snapped Mike out of his thoughts. "Are you OK?"
Mike stared at him for a minute, and then got up. He looked up at him with a smile.
"Jace. I don't know why, but..." Jace raise his eyebrows. "Thank you for reminding me of something, and also,...I will defeat you in this Duel!"
"Yeah! That's the spirit!" Jace exclaimed.
"Mike." Hannah said as she grinned.
"However, my turn is still not over! Let's continue where we left off!" Jace stated excitedly.
"Were Lord Totem Master's effects activates! He is treated as Were HERO Warrior Wolf while face up on the field! Once per turn, I detach one overlay unit from him.." One of the comets converged into its sword as slight of energy burst through its body. "and set one Spell or Trap card directly from my Deck! I choose a Spell and set on the field."
He took out a card from his Deck, and then set it to his field.
"However, Were Lord Totem Master can allow me to use the set card during this turn! I activate the Spell card, Rank Up Magic Inner Beast Force!"
A card flipped up. "Rank Up Magic!?" Mike gasped.
"Not another one!?" Hannah cried.
"With this card, I target 1 face-up Beast-Warrior Xyz monster I control on the field. Then, I Special Summon from my Extra Deck 1 Beast-Warrior Xyz monster with the same Type as that monster I control, but 1 Rank higher, by using it as Xyz materials!" Jace explained. "I use my Rank 4 Were Lord Totem Master to create a new overlay network!"
His monster transformed into a beam of energy, and got swallow into the galaxy portal.
"Almighty Totem God, rain down your powers to all who defy against those who's dear to me! Show them no one can mess with everyone who's part of my pack! Rank Up Xyz Change! Rank 5! Were Liege Totem Deity!"
3 golden yellow comets orbited the grey werewolf in crimson armor, who wields a silver sword in his left hand and a gold one in his right hand. It showed off its 4000 ATK.
"Xyz monster with 4000 ATK!" Hannah exclaimed.
"Then, thanks to the effect of my Spell card, it gains 100 ATK for each Xyz materials attached to it! Were Liege Deity has 3, so it gains 300 ATK!"
Deity roared out as its ATK increased to 4300.
"Now, it has 4300!" Hannah exclaimed again.
"Battle Phase! I declare my monster to attack! Final Totem Slash!" Jace shouted as his monster was about to slash Mike.
"Oh no! Watch out, Mike!" She shouted.
"I activate my Trap card: Victorious Save from my Graveyard!" Mike exclaimed, as the faded form of the Trap card appeared in front of him.
"What!? A trap card activation from the Graveyard!?" Jace gasped.
"When this Trap card is in my Graveyard, I can remove from play 1 Victory Fighter monster in my Graveyard or field and end the Battle Phase for this turn!" Mike elaborated. "I remove from play my Victory Fighter Origin Man in my Graveyard!"
Were Liege Totem Deity stopped its attack before it made contact.
"Impressive save, Mike! Although, I think it was little necessary since you do have one monster face down in Defense mode, but I bet you have a plan for that set monster." Jace guessed.
"That's right." Mike stated.
"Very well. I activate my Were Liege Totem Deity's effect! By detaching one overlay unit during this turn.." One of its comet absorbed into its body. "I can set two Spell or Trap cards from my Deck!"
Two cards slid out of his Deck. He picked them out. "I set two cards and end my turn!" Jace wrapped up. "Well, Mike! I can't wait to see what you will do in this turn! Bring it all your best!"
"I will, Jace!" Mike smiled at him. "My turn, I DRAW!"
Mike performed a Destiny Draw. Suddenly, a glimpse image of a dragon appeared in his mind. "What the...what was that?" He asked to himself.
"What's wrong, Mike?" Jace asked.
"Um. Nothing." Mike shrugged away from whatever just popped out of his mind for now. "I Flip Summon my Victory Fighter Scissor Crab!"
The blue orb with red eyes revealed to be a crab with scissor for its pincers, and it had two eyes that make the ending tip of the V symbol on its chest. "When this card is flipped up, I can destroy up to two set cards on either player's field! I destroy two of your set cards on your field, Jace!"
Victory Fighter Scissor Crab leaped to Jace's side, and cut the two set cards in half before it exploded.
"Oh crap!" He cursed out loud.
"Next, I, using Scale 3 Victory Fighter Scuba Striker and Scale 9 Roman Rider, set the Pendulum Scale!" The word "Pendulum" appeared on his Duel Disk blade as the two said monsters rose up through the pillars of light.
"Now, I am able to summon Level 4 to Level 8 monsters simultaneously! Sway, pendulum of my soul! Create a path to my hope that will lead to victory! Bring out my monster friends! Pendulum Summon!" Mike declared as three lights leaped out of the portal.
"Victory Fighter Pyro Blazer!" The man in the pyro suit posed its fighter pose as he burned up in flames.
"And, finally, my ace monster! Victory Fighter Hope!" His ace slashed its sword in multiple times quickly in few seconds until it made its battle pose.
"I knew you will Pendulum Summon your monsters!" Jace said excitedly. "Let's see what your members of the pack can do!"
"Alright, Jace. Here I go!" Mike said. "I activate Victory Fighter Pyro Blazer's monster effect! When he is Special Summoned, you take 500 points of damage!"
Pyro Blazer punched Jace with its fiery punch as the impact caused him to crash into a tree.
"Oooohh!" He groaned as his Life Points reduced to 3700.
"Battle Phase! I declare Victory Fighter Hope to attack on your Were Liege Totem Deity! Hope Slash!" Victory Fighter Hope pulled out its katana sword as Jace's monster slashed its two swords at Hope.
"You are crazy, Mike! Attacking on my monster with higher ATK! Jace stated.
"I may be, but I am prepared for this! I activate Victory Fighter Hope's effect!" Mike announced. "When Hope attacks a monster with higher ATK, I negate its own destruction and that monster is destroyed instead! Then, I gain Life Points equal to the destroyed monster's ATK by half!"
Hope slashed his totem god monster in half before it exploded.
Mike noticed something behind the waterfall. He ran fast into the waterfall and came out of the waterfall a moment later, holding a card in his hand. "I activate the Action Spell: Double Rainbow Boost!"
The Spell depicted two warriors becoming more powerful as rainbows shone on them. "With this card, all my monsters' ATK is boosted by double and they can attack again for this turn!"
Pyro Blazer's ATK to 2600, and Hope's ATK increased to 5000. "I declare Hope to direct attack! Final Hope Slash!"
His ace monster slashed its powerful attack on Jace. "Gaaaaahhhhh!" He cried as his Life Points went down to zero.
The victory screen showed Mike's name and the word winner below it. His monsters jumped victoriously like in the Mario games before they faded away.
"Mike!" Hannah said. "That was amazing! I knew you would win."
"Thank you, Hannah." Mike replied to her. Jace walked up to him.
"Mike, you did it, my friend. Congratulations." He said, giving him a handshake.
"Thank you, Jace. You really helped me a lot." Mike said, grinning.
"It is not me who help you, Mike. It is you who help yourself." Jace stated. "Also, I believe this is yours to keep."
He gave Mike his crystal piece. With that, Mike now had 4 crystal pieces in his possession.
"Thank you again, Jace. That was a really fun Duel." Mike praised him.
"It was no problem! I enjoyed it a lot, too." Jace said. "Well, I will be going now. Good luck getting three more pieces. I will hope to see you in the top 50!"
He walked away until they couldn't see him anymore.
"So, what's next, Mike?" Hannah asked.
"Simple! We found other Duelists. Let's go!" Mike started running.
"Hey! Why are you running so happily!? Wait up!" She yelled at him as she chased after him.
As happy as he was feeling right now, he was still confronted by that image he thought up in his mind; the one that looked like a dragon. "What was that? Some kind of Dragon-type Duel Monster?" Mike thought.
-Not Mike's POV-
Meanwhile, Jace was walking down the street. "Mike sure is a good Duelist. Although, I wonder if it was right for me to not activate Were Liege Totem Deity's effect, which allows me to Fusion Summon..." Jace pondered. "Naw! I only did it to help him, and that makes me happy!"
And, there you have it folks! Man, my wrist for my left hand hurt. I need to rest. I would like to give credits to sonofthetrigod for awesome Were HERO Deck and his OC who uses it. It is awesome, and I hope (to you, sonofthetrigod) that I got their effect, type, and everything about them correct, other than spelling and grammar. Ha ha...See you all tomorrow.
