Old Friends:
Solona Amell groaned as she woke up. When she managed to open her eyes, she realised that she could hardly move at all. When her vision cleared, she saw that she was in some kind of cage with magical purple bars and the roof was too low for her to stand up. The best she could do was kneel. She also looked around the room to see that she was in the room where Alexis had duelled Titan when he was a Shadow Rider and then noticed the people behind her kidnapping. Livius Erimond along with Crassius Servis stood next to some kind of shrine with a projection being shown. Livius banged his hand hard on the shrine in frustration.
"Pathetic!" he spat "Even with those upgraded decks, those girls were rubbish and a waste of time"
"They have served their purpose" Servis stated "And we still have two more people in their way. They were already skilled but it never hurts to be prepared"
"Smart" Livius sneered and it was at that point that he noticed that Solona was awake "Oh, I see that you're awake now, don't think you're going to get free, you're in no position to move"
Solona narrowed her eyes "I'm only in this position because you cheated in our duel!" she snapped "And from what I've just heard, it seems that my friends know that I'm here. Soon they will come for me and your plan will fail"
Livius laughed "But will they be here before the time is up?" he laughed "It won't be long before the portal is ready and then I will take you to my master and he has plans for you"
Solona narrowed her eyes but deep down, she was a bit scared as she knew what the Venatori had done to her father so what could they do to her. 'Brother' she though 'please hurry, I need you here, just please get here before that portal is ready'
...
Daylen and the others walked down the tunnel in order to find Solona. The group included Aedan, Theorn, Neria, Faren, Jaden, Chazz and Aristide. Dorian had returned with Missy while Alexis, Sereda and Kallian had taken Jasmine and Mindy over to the Infirmary.
"This is the tunnel that took us to that room where I duelled Titan when he was a fake Shadow duellist" Jaden stated "If Solona is here then that's where she'll be."
"I hope so" Daylen stated "But remember, we still have more minions to face"
"Raizou and Torimaki" Chazz confirmed "My old pals from Obelisk Blue though I will never hang out with them no. I'm no longer the bully like they are."
Theorn looked worried "I just hope that if we have to duel them that the duels don't take long" he stated "Each time we duel we lose time to get to Solona and if these duels take too long then by the time we reach Livius, it may already be too late."
"Let's just hope that it doesn't come to that" Aedan sighed but everyone could see that he too was worried. They all were worried about Solona now.
Soon Aristide saw that their path was blocked by a cave in "Great, we can't go along this tunnel now"
"But this is the only way through" Faren sighed "How are we suppose to get to Solona now"
Aedan looked around and found a small tunnel that they would have to crawl through "I see another tunnel through this gap" he told the others
Aristide looked at the tunnel "I just hope that this new tunnel leads to my daughter" he sighed "We don't have time to search through every tunnel"
It took time but everyone was through the gap and into the new tunnel. Then they carried on down the tunnel to try and find Solona but soon they found themselves in a new room.
"I don't remember seeing this room before" Jaden stated, the room was completely empty, unlike other rooms, there was no covered up furniture or anything of interest in the room but there was another tunnel at the other side of the room. But the room was blocked by two figures. They couldn't see them clearly but when Aedan shone his torch near them, he recognised them.
"Torimaki, Raizou" he hissed "I think we must be on the right track"
Torimaki stepped forward "You shall not pass" he stated "Master Livius is busy and must not be disturbed"
"We will duel in order to prevent you from passing" Raizou added
Chazz sighed "It seems that we must duel them to get past"
"Well get your game on" Jaden stated and then he stepped forward only to be blocked by Chazz
"I still have an old score to settle with these two" Chazz hissed "After you beat me at the Promotion Duels, these two just abandoned me, I never forgot about that and they thought they were better than me. Well it's time to prove them wrong"
"Chazz the slacker!" Torimaki laughed "You lost to a Slifer and now you have become one, this duel will be easy"
Chazz narrowed his eyes "I learnt some things when I was in the Slifer Dorm, I may not like the Dorm but the students there taught me something, and that it that friends stick together. You two just abandoned me when I needed you so I think it's time for some payback."
"Fine by me" Torimaki laughed and then the two of them activated their duel disks and drew their opening hands.
"DUEL!"
Chazz: 8000
Torimaki: 8000
"Since you've become a Slifer Slacker, you don't deserve to go first" Torimaki sneered as he drew his 6th card "And I summon Alexandrite Dragon in attack mode" a large beautiful golden scaled dragon appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 2000 Defence 100) "And then I will end my turn"
"That's it?" Chazz laughed "You summon a powerful monster and you have no backup, that's not how you duel"
Torimaki narrowed his eyes "Shut up you slacker and make your move"
Chazz chuckled "As you wish" he said as he drew his next card "I'll star by playing the spell card Frontline Base, now I can summon a Light Union monster from my hand, and I choose my V Tiger Jet in attack mode" a machine that looked like a yellow jet plane with a tiger head and green wings appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defence 1800) "And now I normal summon W Wing Catapult in attack mode" a blue jet platform appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1300 Defence 1500)
Torimaki laughed "What are you going to do with them?" he laughed "They can't defeat my dragon"
"Not by themselves they can't" Chazz confirmed "But together they can, as Union monsters, they fuse without Polymerization so now I combine V and W together in order to form VW-Tiger Catapult" Tiger Jet folded in his wings and then sat on top of Catapult to make one monster (Level 6 Attack 2000 Defence 2100)
Neria looked at Chazz's monster "But if Chazz attacks, both monsters will be destroyed"
Chazz smirked "No they won't" he stated "I activate my Tiger Catapult's effect, by discarding one card from my hand and it changed your dragon to defence mode" Chazz discarded his Armed Dragon level 3 and then VW fired a blast of Lightning which forced Alexandrite dragon to kneel "And now my VW can attack that dragon" VW fired a blast of lightning which struck the dragon causing the dragon to roar before exploding "And now I will end my turn by throwing one card facedown"
Torimaki narrowed his eyes "Pure luck!" he spat "That's all that was, pure luck, I'll show you how a real duellist duels, I play Polymerization which allows me to fuse Lord of D and Divine Dragon Ragnarok in my hand"
"Uh oh" Jaden gasped "I know what's coming next"
Daylen agreed "Those two monsters together fuse together to create a powerful fusion monster" he stated
"King Dragun" Torimaki revealed as a long snake like dragon with god like body appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2400 Defence 1100) "And as long as he's on the field, you cannot target dragon type monsters by card effects, now I use my Dragun's effect which allows me to summon Mirage Dragon" another snake like dragon with green hair appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defence 600) "And now Dragun attack that Catapult" King Dragun fired a blast of lightning from his mouth which engulfed VW and shocked the catapult so much that it caused the catapult to overpower and then explode
Chazz: 7600
Torimaki: 8000
"And now my Mirage Dragon will attack you directly" Torimaki added "And don't even think about activating that facedown because thanks to my Dragon's effect, you can't activate traps during the Battle phase" Mirage sent a blast which threw Chazz back
Chazz: 6000
Torimaki: 8000
"Oh man" Jaden groaned "Chazz just took a big hit and he hardly has any cards in his hand"
"Let's just hope that he can do something" Neria sighed "Because if he doesn't, then he may lose and he only has one card in his hand"
Chazz narrowed his eyes "Now that your battle phase is over, I can activate call of the Haunted, this allows me to summon a monster from my grave, and I picked my Armed Dragon Level 3 which I discarded with my Tiger Catapult's effect" a small orange and grey dragon appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1200 Defence 900)
Torimaki snorted "I end my turn now make your move"
"Oh I will" Chazz hissed as he drew his card "And first of all, I will activate my Armed Dragon's second ability which allows me to level him up to Level 5" Armed Dragon level 3 was engulfed in light and then a larger red and brown scaled dragon with spikes over its body appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2400 Defence 1700) "And now I summon X-Head Cannon in attack mode" a yellow and blue machine with cannons on its shoulders and a spiky ball on the bottom appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1800 Defence 1500)
Torimaki chuckled "Too bad you can't summon another with your Frontline base" he laughed "From the look on your face, it seems that that card is not a Union monster"
"No" Chazz confirmed "But it can help me get one, I play Card of Demise, so now I draw until I hold 5 cards but in 5 turns, I have to discard my entire hand" Chazz drew 5 cards since his hand was empty and smirked "And would you look at that, I can use my Frontline base to summon Y dragon head in attack mode" a red metal dragon appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1500 Defence 1600) "And now I activate the spell card Banner of Courage, this card my monsters to gain 200 attack points when they attack"
"Great" Aedan cheered "That means that he can beat King Dragun" without risking himself
"Armed Dragon attack King Dragun" Chazz ordered and Armed Dragon's fist glowed and he sent a ball rolling along the field which smashed into King Dragun and destroyed him, Armed Dragon was safe thanks to Banner of Courage.
Chazz: 6000
Torimaki: 7800
"And now X Head Cannon will attack Mirage Dragon" Chazz added and the Cannon fired a shot from his cannons which shot through Mirage Dragon and destroyed him
Chazz: 6000
Torimaki: 7400
"And finally Y Dragon Head attack him directly" Chazz ordered and the mechanical dragon zapped through Torimaki throwing him back.
Chazz: 6000
Torimaki: 5900
"And now I will end my turn which activates the effect of my Armed Dragon, allowing me to level him up to Level 7" Chazz finished and then Armed Dragon was engulfed in light and a larger dragon with shiny scaled and large blades on his body appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2800 Defence
"All right" Jaden cheered "Chazz took out King Dragun"
"Which will make it harder for Torimaki to summon powerful dragon monsters" Aristide smiled
But Torimaki laughed "I couldn't help but overhear what your friends said" he stated "They're wrong, there are other ways to summon powerful monsters, such as with this, Monster Reborn"
"Not that card" Jaden gasped
"Now my King returns" Torimaki laughed as the King returned to the field "And with his effect, I can summon Darkstorm dragon" a large grey dragon with the lower body made of a storm appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 2700 Defence 2500) "And now, I will equip Darkstorm with Dragon's Treasure which gives him an extra 300 attack points" Darkstorm glowed as his body glowed "Now attack that Armed Dragon" Darkstorm opened his mouth and a large storm burst from his mouth which blew Armed Dragon around and destroyed him
Chazz: 5800
Torimaki: 5900
"And now, my King will destroy Y Dragon Head" Torimaki added and King Dragon fired lightning which struck the metal dragon causing the dragon to overpower then explode
Chazz: 4900
Torimaki: 5900
"And now I will end my turn" Torimaki finished
"Oh man" Daylen groaned "Now that King is back, Chazz can't use his monster's effects to destroy them thanks to King Dragun"
"Let's just hope that Chazz has another way" Aedan sighed
Chazz drew his card and smiled 'Perfect, just what I need' he thought "I play Graceful Charity, now I draw three cards as long as I discard two" Chazz drew three cards and discarded two of them "First I will discard my Heavy Mech Support Armour along with Ojamagic. And with that, I can add Ojamas Black, Green and Yellow to my hand" Chazz added the three Ojama brothers to his hand and as soon as he did, their spirits appeared next to him
"Need help boss" Yellow asked
"Yeah, seems you are in need of back up" Green agreed
"And we're ready to help" Black stated
Torimaki laughed "What good are those three weaklings going to do?" he questioned "Those three are weak monsters and have no place in a deck"
"Well these three monsters are played right, they are a force to be reckoned with" Chazz smirked "And I'll show it by playing this, Ojama Ride, now by discarding the three brothers, I can summon 3 Union monsters from my deck." The three Ojamas screamed as they were sucked into the graveyard and then three machines appeared on the field. First an orange tank with a large cannon that blasted lightning (Level 4 Attack 1900 Defence 200) then a green mechanical dragon with large cannons on its back (Level 4 Attack 1500 Defence 1800) and finally a blue winged mechanical dinosaur with rocket launchers on its legs (Level 4 Attack 1200 Defence 2000) "Meet A Assault Core, B Buster Drake and C Crush Wyvern. And now I'll summon Z Metal Tank in attack mode" a yellow tank appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1500 Defence 1300)
"Five monsters?" Jaden stated "That's sweet"
"But what's the point?" Neria wondered "It doesn't matter how many monsters Chazz has, they still don't beat those dragons"
"Not by themselves they can't" Chazz smirked "Now I banish A B and C to merge them together and form ABC Dragon Buster." The three machines dismantled themselves and then combined, B's wings attached to A's tracks and then the rest of B's body attacked to the side of A's cannon. C's wings attached themselves to the entire machine while the rest attacked to the other side of the cannon. B's two large cannons were on each of B and C's bodies along with C's rocket launchers to create one large machine (Level 8 Attack 3000 Defence 2800) "And now X and Z will merge together to form XZ Tank Cannon" X attached itself to the top of Z to form one machine (Level 6 Attack 2400 Defence 2100) "And thanks to Banner of Courage, my monsters will be stronger than your monsters. Now ABC attack Darkstorm" ABC unleashed a powerful blast of lightning from the cannon which electrocuted Darkstorm and destroyed him
Chazz: 4900
Torimaki: 5700
"And XZ, destroy King Dragun" Chazz ordered and then the Tank cannon fired a blast from its cannons and destroyed the dragon
Chazz: 4900
Torimaki: 5500
And now I will end my turn by throwing one card facedown" Chazz finished
"Chazz has taken out King Dragun for a second time" Neria stated "Let's hope that he doesn't have to face that King a third time"
"We'll just have to see what happens" Aedan stated
Torimaki narrowed his eyes as he drew his card and when he saw it, it made him smirk "I play Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two more cards" Torimaki drew two cards from his deck "And now I play Polymerization which allows me to fuse Buster Blader along with Darkblaze dragon in my hand which allows me to summon the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman." A tall white, blue and yellow armoured swordsman with a very large blade appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 2800 Defence 2500) "And he has an ability, he gains 1000 attack points for every dragon in your graveyard so thanks to your 3 Armoured Dragons he gains 3000 attack points" The Sword glowed as it gained the power of Chazz's 3 dragons (BBTDDS Attack 2800-5800) "And he also inflicts piercing damage" he added which made Chazz's friends gasp
"Great, now Chazz could take a serious amount of damage" Jaden groaned
"And I'm not done yet" Torimaki smirked as he held a card in his hand "Your friend Solona loved this card" he turned it around which made everyone gasp in horror "With Dragon's Mirror, I fuse 5 dragons in my graveyard to summon Five Headed Dragon" a massive five headed dragon with each head made of a different element appeared on the field (Level 12 Attack 5000 Defence 5000)
"Oh no!" Neria gasped "This duel is over; Chazz won't be able to take on both those monsters with over 5000 attack points"
"Five Headed Dragon, attack that Tank Cannon" Torimaki ordered and then the five heads unleashed a blast of their element which combined into 1 massive blast
"I activate my facedown" Chazz countered "The Quick play spell Shrink which halves the attack points of your monster" The blast grew smaller (FHD Attack 5000-2500) 'It seems I will have to take a big risk, but at least my field won't be empty "And I also activate the quick effect of Dragon Buster, by banishing him, 3 of my Union monsters return, A and B in defence and A in attack mode" then the blast struck XZ and destroyed him
Chazz: 4800
Torimaki: 5500
"Well, my Buster Blader will attack that Buster Drake and you will still take damage even though it's in defence mode" Torimaki ordered and then Buster Blader charged forward and sliced the wings of the mechanical dragon off which then exploded and the explosion threw Chazz back who groaned as he landed on his stomach as he rolled over
Chazz: 800
Torimaki: 5500
"And now I will end my turn" Torimaki finished "Now make your last move because next time, I will end you"
"He's right" Neria groaned "Chazz barely has any life points left and Torimaki has over 5000 plus two powerful monsters. And those monsters won't do much to help him"
Jaden groaned "Get up Chazz, you can do it"
Chazz slowly pushed himself up "I used to be like you!" he spat "A bully who only cared about himself but now I've changed and I will not give up" he then drew his card "And just like you, I too will play Pot of Greed which allows me to draw 2 more cards" Chazz drew two cards from his deck "And now I will combine A and C together in order to create AC Assuault Wyvern" C's winge attached to the side of A's laser and the body to the front of the laser itself while the rocket launchers were place onto A's base (Level 6 Attack 2500 Defence 2000) "And now I will play the spell card Union Dismantle, now I remove one Union Fusion monster from my grave from play then summon the monsters needed to summon it that have been banished, so I choose to remove XZ Tank Cannon and summon X Head Cannon and Z metal tank" the two monsters reappeared on the field "And now I play Monster Reborn which allows me to bring back my VW Tiger Catapult" the tiger jet on a platform appeared on the field "And finally, I'll summon another Y Dragon Head to the field" Another red metal dragon appeared on the field "And now I'll combine X Y and Z together in order to form XYZ Dragon Cannon" Y folded his wings in and sat on top of Z while X attached himself to the top of Y to form one machine (Level 8 Attack 2800 Defence 2600) "And when he's on the field, once per turn, I can discard 1 card from my hand and destroy one monster on your field and I choose your Five Headed Dragon" Chazz discarded a card and then the cannons fired which struck the five headed dragon and destroyed him.
"Doesn't matter!" Torimaki hissed "I still have my Buster Blader"
"Not for long you don't" Chazz smirked "I now combine XYZ and VW to make the all might VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon" Z's legs detached and attached to X to make arms while X's head folded into his body. V discounted himself from W and formed the head of the machine by attaching to the top of X and the W split in 2 and formed legs which went onto Y creating one massive machine (Level 8 Attack 3000 Defence 2800) "And once per turn, I can banish one monster on your field and I choose your Buster Blader" Torimaki gasped as his Buster Blader faded and then vanished leaving his field empty "And now VWXYZ, attack him directly" the large cannons fired which blew Torimaki back
Chazz: 800
Torimaki: 2500
"And I still have AC on my field" Chazz smirked "Now attack him directly and finish him" AC fired a laser which sent through the body and turned red thanks to Wyvern, then the blast struck the field which blew Torimaki back causing him to hit a wall
Chazz: 800 (Winner)
Torimaki: 0000
"All right" Jaden cheered "Chazz did it"
"He won" Neria smiled
But it wasn't over yet, not long after Torimaki had been defeated, Raizou took his place "You're not going any further until you have beaten me" he snarled
Jaden stepped forward "I normally duel for fun but my friend is in trouble" he hissed "And we can't afford to waste time so Get your game on!"
Raizou laughed "Jaden Yuki, the Slifer who thinks he's so tough" he sneered "He's never lost to anyone except for Zane" no one knew that Solona had beaten Jaden before as well when she dressed up as Maiden with the Eyes of Blue "And once I beat you, everyone will see just how weak and pathetic you are"
"We'll see about that" Jaden hissed as he activated his Duel disk and drew 5 cards
"DUEL!"
Jaden: 8000
Raizou: 8000
"Elite duellists first" Raizou sneered as he drew his sixth card "And I'll start by playing the spell card Vampire's Domain, now once per turn, I can sacrifice 500 life points and normal summon an addition Vampire monster. So now I will sacrifice 500 life points so I can summon twice, first I will throw a monster facedown and then I will summon Vampire Sorcerer in attack mode" Raizou tribute 500 life points and a monster appeared on his field facedown along with a green haired vampire wearing a pointy hat and holding a staff in the shape of a vampire bat (Level 4 Attack 1500 Defence 1500)
Jaden: 8000
Raizou: 7500
"And now I will end my turn" Raizou finished
"My move" Jaden stated as he drew his card "And I'll start by summoning Elemental Hero Bubbleman in attack mode" a blue aqua hero with water pistols appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 800 Defence 1200) "And since he's the only card I have out, I'm allowed to draw two cards from my deck" Jaden drew two cards and smiled when he saw that they were Polymerization and Bubble Blaster "And now I will activate one of them, Bubble Blaster which gives my Bubbleman an extra 800 attack points" a massive water like rocket launcher appeared which was placed over Bubbleman's shoulder (EHB Attack 800-1600) "And now he will take out that facedown monster" Bubbleman fired a blast from the rocket launcher which smashed into the facedown monster and destroyed him.
But Raizou smirked "That attack was a waste" he sneered "You destroyed my Vampire Baby and since you destroyed him in battle, at the end of the Battle phase, I can special summon him from the grave" a small ugly looking baby with a massive head bigger than the body appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 700 Defence 1000)
"Then I guess I will throw one card facedown and end my turn" Jaden finished as a facedown appeared on the field
"My move" Raizou sneered as he drew his card "And first I will sacrifice Vampire Baby in order to summon Vampire Dragon in attack mode" a small black dragon with an orange underbelly and with vampire fangs and one eye appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2400 Defence 0) "And then I use the effect of my Domain to tribute my Sorcerer to summon Vampire Duke in attack mode" a smart dressed man but with Vampire fangs appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2000 Defence 1200) "And I will use his effect to special summon one Vampire from my graveyard in defence mode so Sorcerer returns" The Sorcerer returned to the field kneeling down "And now Duke will attack your Bubbleman" Duke swiped his claws at Bubbleman but the monster stayed on the field
"Sorry but when Bubbleman is equipped with Bubble blaster, I take no damage, also the blaster gets destroyed" Jaden stated and then the Blaster shattered (EHB Attack 1600-800)
"Well my Dragon still has his attack, now destroy Bubbleman" Raizou hissed and then the dragon sent a blast of dark red fire which engulfed Bubbleman causing the hero to groan before shattering
Jaden: 6400
Raizou: 7000
"And there's more" Raizou stated "Since I just dealt you damage by a vampire monster, Vampire's Domain allows me to gain the same amount of Life Points" Raizou glowed as he gained more life points
Jaden: 6400
Raizou: 8600
"Well I have something too" Jaden stated "I activate my trap card, Hero Signal, since you just destroyed an Elemental Hero, I can summon another one from my deck and I choose Elemental Hero Avian" a winged bird with green and white feathers appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1000 Defence 1000)
Raizou snorted "That weak monster can't help you, I end my turn"
Jaden narrowed his eyes "My monster is not weak and I'll show you why, my draw" Jaden drew his card "And I play Polymerization which allows me to fuse Avian on my field with Burstinatrix in my hand in order to summon, Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" the green and red hero with the dragon head as a hand appeared on the field (Level 6 Attack 2100 Defence 1200) "And while he may not be strong enough to take out that dragon, I can still take out that Duke, so attack with Skydiving Scorch" Flame Wingman zapped through the air and shot right through the Duke and destroyed him
Jaden: 6400
Raizou: 8500
"And Flame Wingman's effect activates, now you take damage equal to your Duke's attack points" Jaden smiled and then Flame Wingman blasted Raizou with his dragon hand
Jaden: 6400
Raizou: 6500
"And now I will end my turn by summoning Wroughtweiler in defence mode and throwing a card facedown" a small mechanical dog appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 800 Defence 1200) along with a facedown card
"My move" Raizou snarled "And you may have destroyed my Duke but my dragon is still ready to right, I may not be able to summon anything but I switch my Sorcerer to attack mode" the Sorcerer stood up and was ready to fight "Now Vampire Dragon, attack that Wingman" the dragon sent another blast towards Wingman
But Jaden had a trap "I play my facedown card, Hero Barrier, now since you attacked an Elemental Hero, I can negate the attack" a barrier blocked the blast causing it to vaporise.
Raizou narrowed his eyes "Well my Sorcerer can still take out that dog" Sorcerer fired a magical blast from his staff which struck Wroughtweiler and destroyed him
Jaden smiled "Since you just destroyed Wroughtweiler, his ability activates" he stated "It allows me to return Burstinatrix and Polymerization to my hand" the two cards appeared in Jaden's hand
"Well, I place one card facedown and end my turn" Raizou finished
"My turn" Jaden drew his card "First off, I play the spell card Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two more cards" Jaden drew two cards from his deck "And I activate the effect of Elemental Hero Captain Gold in my hand, now I can discard him in order to add Skyscraper to the field, which I will now activate" Captain Gold was discarded and then the field changed into a city "And when this card is on the field, when an Elemental Hero attacks a stronger monster, it gains 1000 attack points. Now I summon Burstinatrix to the field" a red female Pyro warrior appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1200 Defence 800) "And now I play the spell card R-Righteous Justice from my hand"
"What does that card do?" Neria asked
"For every Elemental Hero on Jaden's field, he can destroy one spell or trap card on the field" Aristide stated
"And with two on my field, your Vampire Domain and your facedown are destroyed" Jaden smiled as the two cards shattered with the facedown revealing to be Negate Attack "And now Flame Wingman, destroy that Dragon, and thanks to Skyscraper, he gains 1000 attack points" Flame Wingman glowed as he gained power (EHFW Attack 2100-3100) then he shot through the dragon and destroyed him
Jaden: 6400
Raizou: 5800
"And thanks to Flame Wingman's effect, you now take damage equal to your dragon's attack points" Jaden added and then Flame Wingman blasted Raizou with the dragon head
Jaden: 6400
Raizou: 3400
"And now Burstinatrix will attack your Sorcerer and like Wingman, she gains 1000 attack points" Jaden added as Burstinatrix gained power (EHB Attack 1200-2200) then she threw a fireball which struck the Sorcerer causing him to yell as the vampire burnt until there was nothing left but ashes.
Jaden: 6400
Raizou: 2700
"And now I will end my turn at that" Jaden finished
Raizou narrowed his eyes "You've been making a fool of Obelisks for too long!" he snarled "Well that ends now" he drew his card "And I play the spell Card of Sanctity so now we both draw until we hold 6 cards" Jaden and Raizou drew until they had 6 cards in their hands "And your field spell won't last any longer, because I play one of my own, the Field Spell Infernalvania" the skyscrapers shattered and the field changed into a dark land with a castle on a hill in the background.
"Uh oh" Aedan groaned as he remembered this field spell during the fight against the Shadow Rider Camula "Now Raizou can destroy all monsters on the field"
"I can indeed" Raizou sneered "All I need to do is discard a zombie monster from my hand"
"That may be true" Chazz stated "But remember when you use that, you're not allowed to Normal summon or set this turn"
"Well I won't need to thanks to the cards in my hand" Raizou stated "Now I discard Vampire Lord in my hand to activate Infernalvania" the card vanished and then Flame Wingman and Burstinatrix shattered "And I may not be allowed to Normal Summon but I can use this, the spell card Book of Life, this allows me to resurrect my Vampire lord" a white haired man wearing smart clothing appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2000 Defence 1500) "But my book has to take life in order to give it, so now I will banish your Captain Gold so you can't use him again since he's your most powerful monster in your grave. And now I will remove Lord from play in order to summon Vampire Genesis" Vampire Lord was engulfed in light and a huge purple demon appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 3000 Defence 2100) "And now that your field is empty, I can attack you directly" Vampire Genesis turned into a swarm of insects which flew towards Jaden and began biting him which made Jaden groan in pain and he collapsed to his knees
Jaden: 3400
Raizou: 2700
"And now I will end my turn with one facedown" Raizou finished
Jaden groaned as he pushed himself up and then he looked at his hand 'At least I have a good hand so I can summon some good monsters' he thought and then he drew his card and it was his Bladedge 'Bladedge, sweet, but it's too bad I can't summon him' but then his eyes saw another card 'or maybe I can' he then picked a card from his hand "I play the spell card E-Emergency Call, this card allows me to add an Elemental Hero to my hand and I choose Elemental Hero Necroshade"
"But what good is that going to do?" Neria questioned "Necroshade is level 5"
"You forget that I still have my Polymerization in my hand, now I use it to fuse Necroshade with Elemental Hero Flash in order to summon Elemental Hero Escuridao" the two monsters were fused to form a black armoured monster with spiky armour made of shadows (Level 8 Attack 2500 Defence 2000) "And she gains 100 attack points for every Elemental Hero in my graveyard so with 6 in my grave, he gains 600 attack points" a shadow formed around Escuridao as she gained power (EHE Attack 2500-3100) "And since I have Necroshade in my graveyard, I can summon an Elemental Hero without sacrificing so Bladedge also comes to the field" the golden armoured warrior with blades attached to his wrists appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2600 Defence 1800) "And finally, I play the spell card H-Heated Heart which gives Bladedge an extra 500 attack points" a large H appeared on Bladedge which made him gain more power (EHB Attack 2600-3100) "Now Bladedge, attack that Vampire with Slice and Dice attack" Bladedge swung his arms around which looked like they were ready to slice Vampire Genesis to pieces.
But Raizou was prepared "I play my trap card, Sakuretsu Armour, now your attacking monster is destroyed" a suit of black armour appeared on Bladedge which crushed him and then he shattered
"Well my Escuridao can still attack, and with another Elemental Hero in my grave, he gains another 100 attack points" Jaden added (EHE Attack 3100-3200) then Escuridao summoned an army of black shards which she pointed towards Genesis and then they were sent flying through the Vampire which caused the Vampire to moan and then explode
Jaden: 3400
Raizou: 2500
"And now I will play the spell card Mirage of Nightmare, now when it's your turn, I get to draw until I have four cards in my hand, but on my turn, I have to discard the same amount of cards I drew" Jaden stated "Now I place one card facedown and end my turn"
"My draw" Raizou stated
"And mine too thanks to Mirage" Jaden stated as he drew until he held four cards "And I don't need to discard any because I play Emergency Provisions so now I tribute my Mirage and gain 1000 life points" Mirage vanished into particles which were then absorbed by Jaden
Jaden: 4400
Raizou: 2500
Raizou sneered "You just got lucky with that. You are very lucky; I discard Vampire Grace from my hand in order to activate Infernalvania to destroy your monsters" Escuridao shattered leaving Jaden's field empty "And now I remove Vampire Grace and Vampire Duke in my graveyard from play, this allows me to summon the greatest vampire around. The one who rules over all other Vampires, I summon, Dracula Emperor of the Vampires" the field glowed and then a vampire wearing mystical robes and looking like he was a ruler appeared on the field (Level 12 Attack 4000 Defence 4000)
"Oh boy" Jaden groaned "This is going to hurt"
"Oh it will" Raizou smirked "Attack him now" Dracula chanted in some ancient language and then a swarm of bats appeared on the field and then they flew and started biting Jaden all over. Jaden howled in pain and then Dracula himself swiped Jaden with clawed hands which threw him back and Jaden landed on the floor and groaned
Jaden: 400
Raizou: 2500
"Jaden!" all of his friends yelled
Raizou laughed "Look at that, the mighty Jaden Yuki is too weak to fight. Though it would be very difficult for anyone to defeat my Emperor, especially since all damage is dealt to you instead when you attack it so when you attack, you'll only be hurting yourself and he cannot be destroyed by spells traps or monster effects. Now make your move and be quick about it so I can finish you off"
Jaden groaned as he got up 'What am I going to do?' he thought to himself 'I have no monsters that can defeat that thing and even if I did, I'll only be hurting myself. How can I win this'
"Jaden, don't give up" Aedan called
"Yeah, remember, you never gave up when you faced the Sacred Beasts" Daylen reminded "Even when all seemed lost."
Jaden looked at his hand and saw a card in it 'This could help me win the duel but I can't activate it' he thought 'I don't have the requirements' but then he narrowed his eyes 'but I can't give up, I have to do this for Solona and if I draw the right card then I can win this' Jaden place his hand on his deck "My draw" Jaden drew the card and when he looked at it, he smiled "Sweet, just the card I needed, I play the spell Card O-Oversoul, this allows me to special summon an Elemental Hero Normal Monster from my graveyard, and I pick my Burstinatrix" Burstinatrix returned to the field
Raizou laughed "What good is that going to do? It's nowhere near my Dracula's power"
"She won't have to be" Jaden smirked "Because I have H-Heated Heart, E-Emergency Call, R-Righteous Justice and O-Oversoul in my graveyard, I can activate the spell card, Hero Flash. Now by removing them from play, I can summon a Normal Elemental Hero from my deck and I choose my Sparkman" the yellow and blue electric hero appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defence 1000)
"Big Deal" Raizou sneered "They cannot defeat my Emperor"
"They won't have to, he's not the target" Jaden stated "The target is you, thanks to Hero Flash all Elemental Hero Normal Monsters can attack you directly, so attack Sparkman" Sparkman fired a blast of lightning which shocked Raizou
Jaden: 400
Raizou: 900
"Now Burstinatrix, end this duel" Jaden finished and then Burstinatrix fired a fireball which blew Raizou back causing him to hit the wall and he fell right next to Torimaki
Jaden: 400 (Winner)
Raizou: 0000
"All right" Neria cheered
"He did it" Theorn smiled
Aedan and Chazz picked the two Obelisks up and leaned them against the wall "We don't have time to take them to the Infirmary, we'll take them when we've saved Solona" Aedan stated
"All right" Daylen stated "I think we're close now, there's just Servis left along with Livius"
Theorn looked at his feet "I'm just worried that if we have to face Servis as well then Livius may have already taken Solona"
"If we do face Livius then we will defeat him as fast as we can" Daylen stated "But let's go now, we're so close, I did not come all this way for nothing" then they all carried on running down the tunnel
...
Meanwhile, Solona smiled when she saw Chazz and Jaden defeat the two brainwashed Obelisk Blue students. They were so close now and soon they would arrive. She also smiled when she saw Livius' furious look "Idiots!" he spat "They had one job to do and they failed."
"Master" Servis shouted gaining Livius' attention "They will be here soon and the portal is not ready yet but it nearly is. One more duel should be enough to open the portal. I can go and hold them off while we open the portal"
Livius shook his head and smirked "If they're going to be here then it will be better. I would love to see their faces as their plan fails right in front of them. Let them come here, I will allow them to see their friend but then she will be coming with me"
Solona narrowed her eyes "My friends will defeat you!" she spat "The Venatori will not win"
Livius just smirked and placed his black duel disk on his hand "Let's see how well they deal with me and my Chaos dragon" he sneered
Chapter end:
Note: Another chapter finished and one more chapter in this mini arc. I have a big surprise waiting in the next chapter and I wonder if anyone will figure out what's going to happen. I also made a change here, originally, I was going to have Aedan duel Raizou but changed it to Jaden as I have another duel planned for Aedan but not for Jaden.
