Yu-Gi-Oh Archounds of light season 1 episode 3:
Episode 3: Arrival of the dark ones part 2
(Outside in the city we see a couple of the officers along with Johnny looking through some alleyways).
Officer 6:
Found anything yet johnny?
Johnny:
Nah. not a single trace of this guy.
Officer 6:
Ah crap. The chief is gonna chew us out if we don't find him.
Johnny:
Well we just gotta keep on looking till we do.
Officer 11:
But we checked every part of the city. Hey, have you gotten any word from your friend travis?
Johnny:
No. he uh… he…
Officer 6:
What's up bronson?
Officer 11:
Yeah you sound like your trying to hide something?
Johnny:
What me? Hide something? Nah! You guys are just…
(All of a sudden the 3 officers see the dark red glow coming from above some buildings).
Officer 11:
What on earth is that?
Officer 6:
Maybe some kids celebrating the fourth of July early this year.
Officer 2:
(Comes up to the 3) I think it's coming from the old abandoned warehouse.
Officer 11:
We haven't combed that place over for the purp. Let's get to our cars and head over there.
(The officers head to their patrol cars as Johnny looks up at the glow).
Johnny:
(Travis must have found him. I do hope he is okay).
(We cut back to the warehouse as we zoom back inside to see the duel continue).
Cren:3950
Travis:5650
Travis:
What is this thing?
Tappi:
I can sense all the dark energy this thing is giving. It… it's horrifying.
Travis:
Hey cren! What is the meaning of this card?
Cren:
(Chuckles) this is a special made card created by my masters. This particular card is a special way to make this duel a little interesting. Case in point… this (snaps his fingers).
(Just then tapi disappears and is all of sudden trapped on a stone slab with his arms and legs tied to it as he struggles to get loose).
Travis:
Tapi!
Tapi-cat:
I… I can't move!
Travis:
What is the meaning of this cren? What are you doing to my duel spirit?
Cren:
That little slab is to keep your duel spirit safe and sound so he doesn't even think of escaping. Don't worry he will be set free after the duel… once his lifeforce is drained.
Travis:
Lifeforce?
Cren:
That is the other neat little trick of this card. Everytime we lose lifepoints. A piece of lifeforce energy is drained from both you and your duel spirit. Oh and this.
(Just then travis lets out a loud scream as pieces of his body begin to disappear and some of his energy is drained from his body and tapi screams as well as his lifeforce is drained as well).
Travis:
W… what was that? (Notices pieces of his body are missing). Ah! What happened to my body?
Cren:
The shard must take a few sacrifices when someone duels inside of its walls. And your flesh will make a great addition to that sacrifice.
Travis:
No. th… this isn't happening.
Cren:
Oh but it is detective. And once your lifepoints reach 0. Then your entire body will be erased from this world and your soul and the soul of your duel spirit will be trapped in the shard for all eternity. And my masters will rule over this new world. Now to continue my turn I will set 2 cards facedown and switch my gargoyle knight to defense mode.
(2 facedowns appear in front of cren as gargoyle knight takes a knee).
Turn 12.
Travis:
(This is not good. Now if I lose this duel my soul will be trapped inside this thing for all time? This cannot be happening. But that feeling and what is happening to my body… no. I won't let that happen to me and tapi. I am not going to let some punk thug beat me here and take our souls).
Cren:
Hurry up and make your move detective. Your life and the life of your duel spirit hang in the balance.
Travis:
(Draws a card). (There really isn't anything in my hand that can deal with those facedowns. But if i don't attack now he might play something later that can destroy my monster). Ill have my warlord panda attack your gargoyle knight.
Cren:
You won't be destroying my knight so easily detective. I activate the trap card sigil of entrapment! By sending 1 card from my hand into my deck, this trap negates your monster's attack.
Travis:
(Crap. He stopped my attack again. It doesn't matter though. His knight isn't strong enough to take out my panda. And even if he does get a stronger monster out I have my beast shield to block his attack. Though this card might help later on). Ill end my turn by setting 1 card facedown.
Turn 13.
Cren:
(Draws a card and smiles). My gargoyle knight is no longer of use to me here, however this card will do just fine. I sacrifice my gargoyle knight in order to bring out my devil brigade dark monk in attack mode!
Devil brigade dark monk Lv6 ATK:1850 DEF:2200
Cren:
And now I activate my monk's special ability. I send 1 card from my deck to the graveyard, and I can special summon 2 dark spirit tokens from my deck that are also the same level as my dark monk.
(As cren sends a card from his deck to the grave. Dark monk holds his hand out as his hand glows black and he summons out 2 large shadowy spirits that roar as they hit the field).
Tapi-cat:
3… 3 level 6 monsters?
Travis:
Which means he is planning on xyz summoning.
Cren:
That is right, detective. Your about to bear witness to one of the strongest monsters in my deck. Now I overlay my 3 level 6 monsters.
(The 2 dark spirit tokens and dark monk transform into 3 dark orbs and enter a glowing vortex).
(The skies outside turn dark red as the clouds part and a dark shadowy light hits the warehouse and breaks the roof as it hits the field).
(Johnny and an officer see the large glowing light).
Officer 12:
What the hell is that?
Johnny:
I don't know b… but it looks like it is heading for the old warehouse?
Officer 12:
Hey isn't that where Travis said he was gonna be? Come on, we gotta help him!
(The officer and Johnny run off to the warehouse).
(Back with the duel. Out from the dark light steps a large shadowy figure as travis and tapi both feel a sense of dread from their bodies).
Cren:
Born in the blackest pit of the human soul. The most vile and destructive creature on all of god's green earth, descends from the heavens to rain misery and terror to his subjects and his enemies. Bow before the might of the demon king! I xyz summon! Rank 6… devil brigade demonic king… liaos!
(As the shadows surrounding the monster we see him in full view as a dark gray demonic humanoid creature with large horns on his head, black leathery pants, a dark black jacket with a cape, and carrying a large silver sword on his back).
Devil brigade demonic king liaos Rank 6 ATK:2950 DEF:1100
(Scene cut). (Liaos unsheathe's his sword. Swings it a bit and points it towards Travis).
Cren:
My king demands a worthy battle with your panda and he will happily destroy him. Liaos attack and destroy his warlord panda with your demon sword!
(Liaos charges towards warlord panda).
Travis:
I don't think so! I play the trap card beast shield! Not only does this negate your attack, but it lets me draw a card (does so).
(Liaos stops mid swing and returns to cren's side of the field).
Cren:
Lucky move detective. But now your the one who is on the defense with my monster now stronger than yours. I'll end my turn.
Turn 14.
Travis:
Alright, I'll draw!
Cren:
I don't think so detective. Due to my liaos's effect. As long as he remains on the field you cannot draw cards during your draw phase.
Travis:
Oh no.
Cren:
And just to add insult to injury ill use the other effect of my liaos. Since it is your draw phase, I will detach an overlay unit from him, and now you have to send the top 2 cards from your deck to the graveyard.
(Liaos holds up his sword as it glows purple and it forcefully takes the top 2 cards from travis's deck to the graveyard).
Travis:
(Crap. I needed those 2 cards).
Cren:
It's still your turn detective. I sure hope you didn't need those 2 cards to help you defeat my monster.
Travis:
(Great. Now what can I do. I can't draw on my draw phase as long as he has that thing out). (Looks in his hand and grins). (But… his effect doesn't stop me from drawing cards with card effects). I activate the spell card graceful charity!
(Travis draws 3 cards and discards 2).
Travis:
(Not much better, but it still helps a bit). I will set 1 monster facedown and then set 1 card facedown. That will do for now.
Turn 15.
Cren:
(Draws a card) and now to take care of that pesky panda once and for all. Liaos attack!
Travis:
I play my trap card fiendish chain!
(Before liaos reaches warlord panda some metal chains wrap around him, stopping his attack completely).
Cren:
(Groans).
Travis:
Thanks to this trap card. Not only does it stop your monster from attacking, but it negates your monster's effects as well. Which means my monster is safe and i can draw on my next turn.
Cren:
(Chuckles and laughs) You didn't think i have a play for a card like that?
Travis:
Huh?
Cren:
Your more of a fool than I originally thought detective. From my hand I play the quick play spell card mystical space typhoon?
Tapi-cat:
Oh no!
Cren:
Yes. with this card i can get rid of your pesky chains and my liaos is free to attack! (Liaos breaks free from the chains and slashes warlord panda across the chest destroying it as it and both tapi and travis scream in pain from the attack as more of their lifeforce is drained).
Travis:4500
Cren:
And i am afraid the pain won't stop there. I will summon my devil brigade shadow leach in attack mode.
Devil brigade shadow leech Lv2 ATK:550 DEF:900
Cren:
Thanks to this monster. I can equip it to a monster you control and every time one of your monsters with my leech is equipped to it is sent to the grave. I can special summon it back to the field.
(The shadow leech wraps its grotesque body around Travis's facedown monster and inserts its tentacles into it).
Cren:
And I am far from done. I now activate the effect of my devil brigade sniper from my hand. By sending it from my hand to the bottom of my deck, I can target a card you control and destroy it.
(A dark energy blast comes out of cren's deck and destroys Travis's facedown monster with the shadow leech attached to it and it goes to the grave as well).
Travis:
But why would you destroy the monster you just brought out?
Cren:
For this…
(Just then the leech's tentacles pop out of cren's graveyard and wrap around both tapi and travis squeezing their bodies hard and tight as they both let out a scream of pain).
Travis:3600
cren:
you see when my leech is destroyed and there are no targets for it to latch onto. it then deals you 900 points of damage
(We see Johnny and the officer make it to the main door of the warehouse but find it's locked).
Johnny:
Locked.
Officer 12:
There has to be another entrance somewhere.
(Just then they hear Travis screaming in pain).
Johnny:
It's travis!
Officer 12:
He sounds hurt!
Tapi-cat:
(Pants) w… we can't take another attack like that. O… our lifeforce is depleting fast.
Travis:
I know.
Cren:
I think that is enough pain for now detective. I end my turn.
Turn 16.
Travis:
(Groans as he stands back up). (Okay. a little set back there with the trap, but thanks to my graceful charity, i got a chance to take it out). From my graveyard I activate the effect of my beast spirit ghost bat!
Cren:
Oh please. What can a weak little monster like that do to my liaos?
Travis:
Who said I was gonna use it on your monster thug? Thanks to my bat's effect, I can banish it from my graveyard and special summon 1 beast spirit monster from my graveyard. And the monster I chose is my warlord panda!
(Warlord panda comes out of a purple vortex as he prepares for battle).
Cren:
Oh come on. I destroyed that monster already and it isn't strong enough to take out my liaos. What are you thinking detective?
Travis:
True. while my panda isn't strong enough to take out your liaos, this card will change all of that. I activate the equip spell spirit moon pendant.
(The beams of the moon shine on warlord panda and suddenly a moon necklace forms around him covering him in a white aura).
Travis:
Thanks to this equip spell it gives warlord panda an extra 600 attack points. Now warlord panda take aim and dethrone his demon king!
(Warlord panda fires out a white orb of energy out from his palm as it hits liaos purring a hole in his chest as he falls back to the ground destroyed).
(The white energy orb hits cren hard knocking him to the ground as he holds his chest groaning in pain as pieces of his body disappear and his lifecforce drains into the shard).
Cren:3500
Travis:
How did you like the taste of your own medicine there cren?
Cren:
(Chuckles and sits back up smiling) you know what? It actually kinda tickled a bit.
Tappi-cat:
Okay this guy is officially a psycho.
(Meanwhile outside Johnny and the officer try to force the door open but it won't budge).
Officer 12:
It won't budge!
Johnny:
What now?
Officer 12:
We are gonna have to call for backup. One of the patrol cars has a battering ram we can use.
Johnny:
Quick call them.
Officer 12:
On it!
Johnny:
Travis! If you can hear me in there! Stay put! We are getting the other officers and we are gonna free you!
Travis:
Johnny.
Cren:
Ha! They can try but they won't make it in time. Once I am finished with you in this duel they won't be able to find your body and I will happily deliver their souls to my masters.
Travis:
That is never going to happen, not on my watch. Cause I am going to defeat you here and now in this duel cren.
Cren:
I would love to see you try.
Travis:
I will happily grant that wish. Before I end my turn I will activate my facedown spirit channeler rod! I will then equip this card to my warlord panda and end my turn.
Turn 17.
Cren:
I draw! (Draws a card and chuckles). I want to thank you for destroying my monster. Because now with this card I drew… I can bring him back and make him even stronger!
Tappi-cat:
I don't like the sound of that.
Cren:
I activate the spell card rank up magic: bloodstorm!
Travis:
Rank up magic? I never heard of that card.
Cren:
Of course an old fart like you would not know what these cards do. This card lets me bring back an xyz monster from my graveyard, and use it to xyz summon a xyz monster from my extra deck whose rank is higher!
Travis:
That is not good.
Cren:
Well for me it is. But for you it isn't. Now I will bring back my liaos and use him to xyz summon once more!
(Liaos returns to the field but then transforms into a dark purple orb and goes into a glowing vortex once more).
Cren:
As the king enters the dark either, a creature only he controls heeds the call of his master and swoops down from the heavens. Let loose your mighty roar you terrifying beast! I xyz summon! Come forth and bring death, rank 7… devil brigade diabolical wyvern!
(A large dark black wyvern creature with a skull face descends from the sky and lands on the duel field with a mighty roar).
Devil brigade diabolical wyvern Rank 7 ATK:2700 DEF:1250
Travis:
Your wyvern may be fierce, but it isn't strong enough to destroy my panda.
Cren:
We shall see detective. Battle phase! Diabolical wyvern attack the detective's warlord panda!
Tappi-cat:
Ha! Go ahead. Your monster will just be destroyed since it is weaker.
Cren:
Correction little kitty. The detective's monster will be the weaker one here.
Travis:
How so?
Cren:
Cause of my wyvern's effect. When this monster declares an attack, I can detach an overlay unit from my monster and target 1 monster you control and decrease its attack to 0 until the end of this turn.
Tappi-cat:
Oh no!
(As the overlay unity detaches from wyvern he lets out a loud roar that covers warlord panda in a dark aura draining his strength).
Cren:
Now attack wyvern! Vengeful shadow stream!
(Diabolical wyvern fires out a dark shadow beam of energy at warlord panda disintegrating him and the blast hits travis hard knocking him back to the door of the warehouse as he lands on the ground fainting).
Tappi-cat:
Travis no!
(Scene cut).
(We cut back as we see Travis laying on the ground).
Travis:900
Cren:
(Laughs) this is just way too easy!
(Tappi screams in pain as more of his body disappears).
Tappi-cat:
Travis! Come on, wake up! You can't lose here! If you lose, then both our worlds are doomed!
(We hear Travis groaning as he slowly tries to get back up and gets up to his knees coughing up blood).
Cren:
Heh. You really are pretty tough aren't you. But you should give up. You cannot win this. So just give up and lay down like the pathetic human you are.
Travis:
I have… been called many things. And pathetic is one of them. I am … I am far from pathetic! And I will not let you talk me down. No matter how many monsters you attack me with. I will not… give up!
(Tappi smiles as Cren just chuckles).
Cren:
Hey, it's your funeral. But just so you don't get any ideas before I end my turn. I activate the spell nightmare steel cage.
(A large metal cage surrounds both Cren and Travis as Travis slowly makes his way back to his spot still hurting).
Cren:
Now neither of us can attack each other for 2 turns. But let's be honest. There isn't a single card in your deck that can defeat my monster.
Travis:
As long as I still have cards I can use in my deck. I will find a way to win.
Cren:
Keep dreaming. I'll end my turn. Make your final 2 moves.
Turn 18.
Travis:
(The thing is. I have used my best monsters. And this thug might be right. There might not be any cards in my deck).
Tappi-cat:
(Don't give up travis).
Travis:
(Wait. you can hear my thoughts?).
Tappi-cat:
(We share a telepathic link. We both can hear each other's thoughts. Listen travis. You can't give up. There is that old human saying, "it's not over until the last card is played". So no matter what, have faith in your deck).
Travis:
(Have faith in my deck? You know… Johnny is always saying he believes in the heart of the cards. I didn't understand it before, but now I believe I do. I just need to trust my deck). Okay… let's do this then. I draw! (Draws a card). (Not the card I need right now). I'll just end my turn.
Turn 19.
Cren:
(Draw a card). It's time to up my chances of victory. I activate the spell card roll of fate. Thanks to this card, I roll a 6 sided dice, and whatever number I roll I get to draw that many number of cards, but I have to mill the same number of cards from the top of my deck.
(A demon hand pops out of the ground and rolls a black die as it lands on 3).
(Cren draws 3 cards then mills the top 3 cards from his deck).
Cren:
Hmph! Not what I needed. But it doesn't matter, I will end my turn.
(As Cren ends his turn, the steel cage disappears).
Turn 20.
Travis:
(Draws a card). (Still not the card I need, but it might protect me for one turn). I will set a monster facedown and 1 card facedown and end my turn.
Turn 21.
Cren:
(Oh please. He thinks he can beat me with the same move again. He really is desperate). (Draws a card) time for me to crush your last line of defense. Go wyvern attack his facedown monster.
Travis:
Sorry but my monster isn't going anywhere. I play a trap!
Cren:
What trap?
Travis:
Stance change! With this trap, since your monster declared an attack, it switches your monster into defense mode until the end of this turn.
Cren:
(Groans) your luck is starting to really piss me off detective. But no matter. I'll simply set a monster. And then play the spell card double summon letting me normal summon once again. And now I will tribute my facedown monster in order to summon forth my devil brigade swamp golem!
Devil brigade swamp golem Lv6 ATK:2400 DEF:1300
Cren:
And now to make my field safe from whatever you bring out I play the spell card synchro barrier. As long as this card remains on the field, you cannot attack me or my monsters unless you control a synchro monster. So good luck getting through that detective. I end my turn
Turn 22.
(Travis closes his eyes as he prepares to draw).
Travis:
(Okay deck, I am putting all my faith and trust into you for this draw. Please. Give me the strength I need in order to defeat this punk and save my duel spirit).
(Travis draws a card and looks to see it is tappi).
Travis:
(Tappi?. N… no i…. I can't put you out on the field. It would…).
Tappi-cat:
Do it travis.
Travis:
What?
Tappi-cat:
Put me out there.
Travis:
But… but tappi. Your too weak to fight. Your lifefroce is all but drained.
Tappi-cat:
It doesn't matter. I would gladly fight for you to the bitter end. No matter what the risk is.
Travis:
But…
Tappi-cat:
Trust your heart travis.
Travis:
(Wait a minute).
(Flashback to earlier in the duel).
(Back to present).
Travis:
(That's right. His monster sent 2 more cards to my graveyard and one of them was a card that could help. And if it fails I still have my continuous spell charge of the beast spirits to help. We just might be able to pull this off).
Cren:
Hurry up detective, either play a card or forfeit.
Travis:
You want me to play a card cren? That is fine with me. I summon out beast spirit samurai warrior tappi-cat!
(Tappi summons out an astral form of himself to the field).
Beast spirit samurai warrior tappi-cat Lv3 ATK:1100 DEF:500
Cren:
Pfffft! (Laughs) Ooh, I'm so scared now. That is such a lame monster and you pit that against my wyvern. What a joke! (Laughs).
Tappi-cat:
Laugh it up dark servant of the dark hounds. But my duel partner is far from done.
Travis:
Tappi is right. To continue my turn I activate the effect of my beast spirit draw scarab from my graveyard, by removing it from my graveyard, and paying 400 lifepoints i get to draw a card!
Travis:500
Cren:
Your putting yourself at a huge risk all just to draw 1 card? You really are desperate.
Travis:
Oh I am far from done! I now activate tappi's ability. Since he was summoned to the field i get to special summon 1 level 4 or higher beast spirit monster from my graveyard, and I am going to choose my level cyber mantis.
Cren:
Ha! Go ahead and bring out all the monsters you like, they are too weak to defeat my wyvern.
Travis:
To continue my turn I will now activate the effect of my charge of the beast spirits. Since I have been destroying monsters I have accumulated a ton of battle counters on this card. By removing 3 counters on it I can draw the top 3 cards of my deck and add 1 to my hand. The others will go to my graveyard.
Cren:
Go ahead and draw. Like I said. There isn't a card in your deck that can beat me.
Travis:
I have complete faith in my deck and I believe it will give me the right card to finish you off in this duel.
Cren:
I highly doubt that. But by all means draw.
Travis:
I will! (Draws a card).
(As Travis draws a card a flash of light hits everyone).
(As the light disappears Travis looks at the cards he drew and is confused).
Travis:
(I have never seen this card in my deck before. Where did it come from).
Celest:
(From the look on his face. He must have drawn the card I put into his deck. Time to see if he is worthy to play it).
(Meanwhile we see the same hooded figure walking in the outskirts of the city having seen the light).
?:
So… he has drawn it huh. Seems like my servant didn't really stand a chance. (Walks off).
Tappi-cat:
What did you get?
Travis:
A card I have never seen before. Or remember ever putting in my deck.
Tappi-cat:
Is it useful?
Travis:
Well there is only one way to find out. I play the spell card double summon!
Cren:
When did you get that card?
Travis:
I have held onto it after using pot of greed. Now from my hand i normal summon archound sorcerer!
Archound sorcerer Lv1 ATK:400 DEF:1600
(The archound sorcerer opens his eyes and yawns).
Archound sorcerer:
Finally, I have been inside that card for a long time and… oh well hello tappi.
Tappi-cat:
You know my name sir?
Archound sorcerer:
Of course. Celest mentioned you a lot?
Tappi-cat:
You know celest?
Archound sorcerer:
For a long time, yes. How long have I been asleep?
Tappi-cat:
I am not sure how i can answer that but we may have to finish this chat later.
Archound sorcerer:
Yes I can tell we are stuck in a battle that we must win. I can help achieve this victory. (Turns to look at Travis) do not worry or fear human. I shall aid you.
Travis:
I have… a lot of questions about what is happening right now, but that is great.
Cren:
Oh goodie. Another weak monster for me to crush.
Archound sorcerer:
Weak. what a foul little welp. I will teach him some manners (Tries to fire off a fireball from his staff but nothing happens) what? What is going on? Why is my magic not working?
Tappi-cat:
You have to let the duelist have you declare an attack.
Archound sorcerer:
A duelist? What is a duelist?
Tappi-cat:
I will explain later. Keep making your move travis.
Travis:
Oh right. I now activate archound sorcerer's special ability. Since he was summoned to the field I get to target 1 level 4 or lower monster I control and increase its level by 1 and I am choosing my tappi-cat.
(Archound Sorcerer raises his staff up and charges tappi up with a special kind of aura that increases tappi's level).
Tappi-cat:
(Gasps) I am finally a level 4 monster! My mom is gonna be so proud.
Travis:
And now cren. I tune my now level 4 tappi-cat, with my level 1 archound sorcerer, and my level 7 cyber mantis!
(Tappi jumps up into their air and transforms into 3 green rings that hover over archound sorcerer and cyber mantis as the stand back to back and become bathed in a green light).
(Just then a burst of flames come from the ground and rise into the sky as johnny witnesses it).
(The tower of flames slowly starts to form into something).
Cren:
What the hell is that?
Travis:
The immortal bird that was once thought to be long dead… rises up from the ashes of a time forgotten by the world. Whip your wings of blazing glory free and fly into battle! I synchro summon! Rise up from the flames… level 12, beast spirit blaze phoenix!
(The flames form into a large dark red burn with gold and orange feathers and green eyes as it flies down to the field).
Beast spirit blaze phoenix Lv12 ATK:2200 DEF:100
(Scene cut).
Cren:
You have got to be kidding me. This was your big play? Summon out this big turkey that is even weaker than my wyvern? What was the point?
Travis:
This is the monster that will win me this duel.
Cren:
Oh really? Well this is something i have to say.
Travis:
And you will. But before I do I activate my facedown card spiritual awakening. Thanks to this card since my lifepoints are lower than 4000 i can special summon 1 beast spirit from my graveyard whose level is 5 or higher. So welcome back once again my warlord panda! And now for the effect of my blaze phoenix. Since he was synchro summoned to the field, it gains 600 attack and defense points for each beast spirit in my graveyard.
Cren:
Say what?
Beast spirit blaze phoenix Lv12 ATK:8800 DEF:6700
Travis:
Which means my phoenix is stronger than your wyvern. But first my warlord panda will go and attack your swamp golem.
(Warlord panda picks up swamp golem and slams it to the ground destroying it).
Cren:3200
Travis:
And now to finish you off. Blaze phoenix go and attack cren's diabolical wyvern and end this duel!
Cren:
(Oh no if this attacks works, i'll lose the duel and fail my master. I won't let that happen). You will not end this duel that easily detective! From my hand I activate the effect of my devil brigade shield hand! I can send this card from my hand to the graveyard to negate your phoenix's attack.
Tappi-cat:
Oh no!
Cren:
Ha! Now with no more monsters to attack, I can finish you off on my next turn! You still lose detective!
Travis:
I still can win this. I use my phoenix's other effect. Since it battled a monster this turn. It can deal you 400 points of damage for each beast spirit monster that is in my graveyard!
Cren:
(Oh no. and since he has 11 monsters in his grave, that means i still lose).
Travis:
Burn cren up blaze phoenix with magma rafflesia!
(Blaze phoenix's body begins to glow as it prepares to use its effect).
Cren:
(No! This can't be! I was so close to beating him! Wait! There's still a chance I can survive. How did i not see it before). I play my quickplay spell card dark armor! Thanks to this card, since you activated a monster effect that deals me effect damage, I can play this card and cut the damage I take in half! (The heat from blaze phoenix's effect singes cren a bit).
Cren:1000
Cren:
(Chuckles and groans) good effort detective but i am still in this. And since all your monsters attacked this turn, ill still finish you off on my next turn.
Travis:
Sorry you scum bag. But there isn't gonna be a next turn for you.
Cren:
Huh?
Travis:
Cause i still have 1 more card to play and end this duel. The quickplay spell card spirit charge! With this card, if all my monsters have attacked this turn, i can send 1 card from my deck to the graveyard, and i can target 1 monster i control and it gets to attack again.
Cren:
(Gasps).
Travis:
(Sends a card from his deck to the grave) and the monster I am choosing is my blaze phoenix. Okay phoenix. Let's finish this for real! Go and attack Cren's wyvern and finish this duel! Immortal flame…. Cannon!
(Blaze phoenix fires out a large stream of fire and magma as it hits diabolical wyvern straight on burning it to a crisp as we hear cren scream in agony as the flames hit him).
Cren:0
(Scene cut).
(We cut back as the flames disappear and we see cren's body all burnt and charred up from the attack as the holograms disappear and travis walks up to the charred body of cren).
(Just then the doors burst down as the officers along with johnny and chief stronghorn arrive).
Chief stronghorn:
Truesdale! What the hell is going on here?
Travis:
Chief.
(Before the cops could even more all of a sudden cren's shard card begins to glow red as it flies up and over to cren's helpless body).
Cren:
No master! Please don't. I did the best I could. Don't… please…
(The card shoots out a beam of energy that rips and tears the flesh from cren's body leaving nothing behind but bones and dust as the officers and even travis are left speechless).
Officer 5:
C… chief? What just…
Chief stronghorn:
L… let's just get back to the office.
(The next day we see Travis sitting in the chief's office once again as he stares at him).
Travis:
Sir… I know what I did was wrong, and… and not only that but also dangerous. But… if I am gonna be honest. I did what I had to. To keep other people from being killed and hurt by that lunatic. I wanted to prove just how useful I could be. But I do understand if you want me to resign.
Chief stronghorn:
Truesdale. (Sighs) I was wrong. The only reason I told you all those things through all those years… was cause I wanted to see you improve as a man of the law. I wanted to push you to your limits to be all you could be. But… I could tell that you already had what it takes to be one hell of a cop. So… as of today. I am promoting you.
Travis:
What?
Chief stronghorn:
You heard me. Your gonna be an officer. No longer taking rinky dink assignments and cases. What do ya say?
(A little later we see travis and johnny heading down the road to their homes).
Johnny:
So what did the chief say?
Travis:
Well he… he promoted me to an officer?
Johnny:
Heh did? Hey congrats man!
Travis:
I turned him down.
Johnny:
You what? But why travis?
Travis:
Well I told him. That i'd rather be a detective, but I would love to get bigger assignments. And he said alright deal.
Johnny:
Man you are odd sometimes man. Heh. hey you wanna talk about what happened last night? What was up with that light show that went on? And how did that cren creep do that creepy weird act and disappear like that?
Travis:
Honestly I don't know johnny. (And i would like to know about that too. Like what was with all that last night). (Later that night…).
Archound sorcerer:
Ah, I see. So one of my own spells kept me inside that child's card. Even I am amazed sometimes with my magic.
Celest:
Arca was the kingdom's best sorcerer in all the land. And when the dark day happened he tried casting a spell that would send the dark hounders back from whence they came, though sadly it backfired on him and trapped him inside a stone tablet. Which was found by a man you humans called pegasus found him and turned him into a card.
Travis:
So… you slipped those 2 cards into my deck miss celest?
Celest:
That is correct. When you returned to the human world I slipped them in at the last second. Knowing you would need them for battle when the time was right.
Tappi-cat:
Yeah clearly.
Travis:
I need to ask this. During the duel, Cren played a card called… the shard of enoran? Does that mean anything to anyone here?
Archound sorcerer:
Yes. i am afraid all too well.
Celest:
The shard of enoran was a powerful artifact found and used by the dark hounds. They would use to to drain the lifeforce from not only duel spirits but from humans as well. Once all their lifeforce was drained, it would suck them inside and trap their soul inside for all of time itself.
Archound sorcerer:
And leave their body nothing but an empty shell like you saw.
Travis:
So… that card is dangerous then.
Tappi-cat:
Very dangerous. Which is why we need to stop these dark hound guys as soon as possible.
Celest:
And do not forget to reforge the archound team. So travis… do we have your answer? Will you help?
Travis:
(Nods his head) after what i saw last night. Yes. if it means to help save everyone I know and care about. Then I am in.
(Tappi smiles and so does archound sorcerer and celest as she goes over to an old box and hands it over to travis).
Travis:
What is this?
Celest:
It is something you will need on your journey to form a new team.
(Travis opens the box and inside is a small white necklace with a purple eye in the middle).
Celest:
They eye of truth. This will allow you to scan any duel spirits you encounter. Now normally duel spirits are particularly shy and will not reveal themselves to duelists but unless they have a very strong connection with their deck and cards like you to travis. And this eye will glow green and lead you to a candidate for an archound warrior.
Travis:
Thank you miss celest. I will keep this with me at all times.
Celest:
Remember truesdale. The fate of both our worlds rest with you and this new team you will create. We wish you the best of luck.
End of episode.
