Spellcasters VS Dragons
#5 of Let's Duel
The next day I awoke, feeling refreshed from yesterdays duel. I stretched and took a nice long hot shower. After that I did the regular morning rituals; brush my teeth, got dressed, ate breakfast, packed up my stuff, and my cards. But then I took my Crystal Beast deck out of my deck box and started looking through them. Then I heard a voice say.
"Did you enjoy our performance yesterday?". I looked up to see who said that, but I didn't see anybody or anything out of ordinary. I thought to myself. 'am I hearing things?' I shrugged it off and went back to looking at my cards.
Then I came across both my Rainbow Dragons. One was darker than the other. Then I looked at the top of my paw and looked at my yin yang symbol that was magically branded into my skin and fur. 'Maybe these two dragons represent this.' I took a closer look, when I heard a knock at my door. I put my cards back in my deck box and went to go answer the door. Once I opened it there stood Jackie and Mayra, with a cab parked at the front.
"Are you ready yet, bro?" Jackie asked quickly.
"Yeah, just let me get my stuff." Went back inside, grabbed my bags, and locked my door when I left with my friends in the cab. On our trip Jackie couldn't stop talking about how excited he was, about going to the tournament. And that he was going to be the next champion. I admired his positive attitude, sure he's a good duelist and all, but he's gonna have to step up his A game. As for Mayra she just sat in the back seat looking out the window the whole trip to the airport. Once we got there, we caught our flight to Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a four hour flight, but it was worth it. When we landed we caught another cab.
"That was a long flight." Jackie sighed.
"Get over it Jackie."said Mayra.
The cab came to a stop in front of a stadium. We got out of the cab, grabbed our stuff, and paid the cabby. And entered the stadium, when we entered a raccoon that I dueled against in the park wearing a grey shirt, blue jean pants, with black sneakers. walked towards us. First he greeted us. "Welcome duelists, have a nice trip?"
"Yeah, it was alright." I answered, still exhausted from the trip.
"Well I'm glad you three made it a day early. Now it's time for a proper introduction, I'm trayvon Miller. The Ancient Gear duelist." Trayvon introduced himself to my friends.
And my friends introduced themselfs, except me because me and him already met.
"Follow me, its time to meet the competition. You can leave your stuff here." Trayvon led the way. We left our stuff and followed him to wherever he was leading us. We walked down a well lit hallway with doors on each side. The walls were white and the floor had blue tiles, and the doors were white as well. We stopped in front of one of the white doors, and Trayvon opened it. Inside we heard laughing and when they were in view, I recognized two the foxes; Matt and Jeff Harvey. But I didn't recognized the young Coyote sitting on the couch across from the brothers. He wore a black shirt, red blazer, black pants and, red and black shoes.
Mayra leaned closer to me and whispered to me. "Aren't they the Harvey brothers, we dueled against yesterday?" I nodded in agreement.
"Excuse me, guys." Trayvon interupted their conversation. They looked back to see who it was, but when they noticed it was trayvon. They got up asked what was going on, and Trayvon told them introduced themselfs.
"Hey Jeff, look who it is; Its the Crystal Beast duelist and his right hand partner the warrior panthress." He nudged his brother on the elbow a few times.
"I see you four know each other already." said Trayvon.
"Yeah, but we never met him." Jeff pointed at Jackie.
"I'm Jackie Cypress."
"Hey ya'll can't forget about me now. I'm Josh Matthews, fresh out of South Fur Academy." Josh said in a southern accent.
"Well its good to meet you, Josh. I'm Spener Jock, and these are my two friends. Mayra and Jackie." I introduce us.
"Your Spencer Jock?" Josh asked
"Yeah." I answered
"The one who beat Smith and ended his undefeated streak?" Josh questioned further.
"You heard of that, I see."
"Heard of it, once Smith got back he couldn't stop talking about how he was going to get revenge on you." He explained.
"Speaking of Smith, were is he?" Trayvon asked
"He's about to duel against Jon." said Matt.
"Thanks, we'll go check it out." With that said we followed Trayvon to where Smith and Jon were about to duel. We walked through two double doors. On the other side of the doors was a small dueling arena with seats around it. We took a seat and saw a white fox dressed all in white with a white trench coat on walked on one side of the field. And saw a Falcon dressed in a black shirt and black pants, with a gold chain around his neck was on the opposite side.
"That there is Jon Anderson. He runs a Spellcaster deck." Trayvon pointed at the falcon.
"You ready to lose again, Smith." Jon said.
"Your going to regret those words, Jon." said Smith getting mad.
"Let's duel." They both said. They're duel disks activated and put their decks in the deck holder, and the life point counters set. They drew their five cards and waited to see who would go first.
Smith LP:4000 Jon LP:4000
"Since I'm in such a good mood today, I'll let you start, Jon." said Smith
"Fine by me." He drew his card. "First I summon Magicians Valkyria (ATK/1600 DEF/1800) and set two cards face down." His Spellcaster took to the field and cards appeared face down in front of him.
Smith drew his card. "I summon Lord of Dragons (ATK/1200 DEF/1100) and next I activate Flute of Summoning Dragons." He put the card in the slot. "This allows me to summon two dragons from my hand. I play my Red-Eyes Black Dragon (ATK/2400 DEF/2000) and Meteor Dragon (ATK/1800 DEF/2000) from my hand." He played both dragons on his disk. And they took to the field as well. "Now attack my Meteor Dragon." His dragon destroyed Jon's Valkyria.
Smith LP:4000 Jon LP:3800
"Red-Eyes attack him directly with Inferno Fire Blast."
"I don't think so. Go Magic Cylinder." Jon's card flipped up and two open end cylinders came up.
"No, not that card." Said Smith getting nervous. His Red-Eyes attack went into one cylinder.
"Yes, now prepare to feel the wrath of your dragon. Fire." The second cylinder fired it back at Smith himself.
Smith LP:1600 Jon LP:3800
"I'm not done yet. Lord of Dragons attack him directly."
"Go Spellbinding Circle." Jon pointed at Smith's attacking monster and his card flipped up and a circle formed around it.
"I set one card face down, and end my turn." A card appeared face down.
Jon drew his card. "I play Premature Burial. To raise Valkyria from the graveyard and boost her strength with Mage Power." His Life Point counter decrease. And his Valkyria returned to the field
Smith LP:1600 Jon LP:3000
"It may cost me eight hundred life points, but my Valkyria gains five hundred attack points for every spell or trap card. Like these two." Jon played two more cards in his disk slots. And his Valkyria attack points rose (ATK/4100) "Making her more than match for your Red-Eyes. Attack Valkyria with Mystic Scepter Blast." His Valkyria fired some green magic at Smith's Red-Eyes.
"Your too predictable. Go Negate Attack." Smith raised his left arm and his trap card revealed itself.
"Oh, No." Said Jon as his magicians attack disappeared. "I set one card face down and end my turn." Another card appeared face down.
Smith drew his card. "I activate White Dragon Ritual. By sacrificing my Lord of Dragons, I can summon Paladin of White Dragon (ATK/1900 DEF/1200) Next I activate Stamping Destruction, and Dragon Treasure for my Red-Eyes (ATK/2700 DEF/2300) and thanks to my Stamping Destruction, I can destroy one spell or trap card on the field and the owner of that card loses five hundred life points. And I choose your Mage Power."
Jon's card shattered. "No, my Mage Power. Now my Valkyria attack points go back to sixteen hundred."
Smith LP:1600 Jon LP:2500
"Now let's try this again, Red-Eyes destroy his Magicians Valkyria."
"I activate Depth Amulet." Jon's card flipped up. "For every attack you make, I can discard one card from hand to stop your attack." He discarded a card to the graveyard. And Smith's dragon attack stopped.
"I attack two more times." And Jon discarded two more cards to the graveyard. "I set one card face down and end my turn."
Jon drew his card. "I play Monster Reborn, to bring back Dark Magician Girl (ATK/2000 DEF/1600)." His card slid out of the graveyard, and he played it. "Next I activate Magical Dimension. I can play this card as long as I have a Spellcaster type monster on the field. So I can summon this Dark Magician, but before I do, I have to tribute a monster. And I pick my Valkyria." A coffin rose from the ground and it opened revealing his Dark Magician (ATK/2500 DEF/2100) "And I can destroy one monster on the field. And I pick your Red-Eyes Black Dragon." Smith Dragon shattered.
"I activate Soul Resurrection." Smith card showed itself.
"What does that do?"
"This card allows me to bring back any normal monster from the graveyard in defense mode." his Red-Eyes card slid out of the graveyard and placed it on the monster zone sideways for defense.
"Attack my Dark Magician, with Dark Magic Attack."
"Attack Guidance Armor will save my Red-Eyes." Smith countered quickly as his card showed itself.
"A trap." Jon gasp at the sight of the armor.
"Very observant Jon. Now your attack is diverted to your Dark Magician Girl." The armor appeared on Jon's Dark Magician Girl and his Dark Magician attacked her instead. The card shattered taking damage.
Smith LP;1600 Jon LP:2000
"I end my turn."
Smith drew his card. "I activate Enemy Controller." A game controller hologram appeared. "This card has two effects, but I can only choose one of the two. And I choose the second effect; I can give up one of my monsters to take control of one of yours." His Paladin monster shattered and the controller cord attached to the Dark Magician. And it went his side. "Now feel the wrath of your monster attack."
"I don't think so, remember my Depth Amulet trap card is still in play." Jon discarded a card.
"To bad you only have one card left, and I have two attacks left. Attack Meteor Dragon." His dragon attack landed.
Smith LP:1600 Jon LP:200
"Now my Red-Eyes attack." Jon discarded the last card in his hand.
"Before I end my turn, I'm going to play a card that's want's to take a bite out of your life points. I summon my Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon (ATK/2400 DEF/2000) by tributing my Red-Eyes Black Dragon." Fire fell from the ceiling and a black dragon landed in front of Smith, and roared at the same time. "He gains three hundred attack points for every dragon in my graveyard. That an extra six hundred right off the bat for a punishing grand total of three thousand attack points. And I activate the field spell Mountain and end my turn." Jon's Dark Magician returned to his side of the field. Darkness Dragon attack and defense points rose (ATK/3200 DEF/2200). And Meteor Dragon (ATK/2000 DEF/2200)
Jon drew his card. "I activate my face down card, Call of the Haunted." His trap card stood upright so Smith could see. "I can bring back my Dark Magician Girl." She returned right next Dark Magician.
"Big deal."
"Oh its a very big deal." Smith had a worried look on his face, when heard Jon said those words.
"For I sacrifice both Magicians to summon The Sorcerer of Dark Magic (ATK/3200 DEF/2800)" His Sorcerer appeared on the field. Lightning fell from the ceiling around him and he moved the black out of the way. "Attack his Meteor Dragon my Sorcerer with Celestial Blast Attack." The Sorcerer lunged his staff forward and fire came out, burning it to a crisp.
Smith LP:400 Jon LP:200
"Now we're both just one attack away from winning this. If you call it quits now, I'll spare you a humiliating defeat. Like that one kid gave you the other day.
"After one lucky move, I don't think so." He drew his card. When he drew his card a smile crept across his muzzle. "I activate the spell card. Card of Demise, I get to draw five cards, but if I don't use them in five turns, I lose them in five turns." He drew five cards. "This duel is over for you."
"And why is that?" Jon asked
"Your about to find out right now. I activate the magic card Dark Core. By discarding one card from my hand, I can remove any monster I want out of the duel. So say 'good-bye to your Sorcerer." He discarded his card and Jon's Sorcerer shattered. Smith laughed thinking victory was his. "Now attack my dragon, destroy the rest of his life points now." He pointed at Jon.
"I activate Mirror Force." His card revealed itself and a mirror formed in front of him.
"No, you can't do this. My dragon is unbeatable." Smith shouted at Jon.
Smith's Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon attack bounced off the mirror shield and it destroyed his dragon. "I end my turn." 'Oh, no if he succeeds in attacking my life points I would lose the duel and my reputation.'
'Okay, all I need is a monster card. Come on deck don't fail me now.' He drew his card. "No,monsters just two magic cards. What am I going to do? I end my turn."
Smith felt a little releaved when it was his turn, but still nervous. Cause there's a chance he might not get a monster neither. He drew his card. "I have to say, you gave me a little run back there, but it has to end. With you looking like a bitch. I summon Luster Dragon (ATK/1900 DEF/1600) and thanks to my Mountain field he gains an extra two hundred attack and defense points." (ATK/2100 DEF/1800) "Any last request?"
"Just end this duel." Was all Jon said.
"As you wish. Now my Luster Dragon attack him directly." His Luster Dragon fired a fire ball at Jon, bringing the rest of his life points to zero. The holograms disappeared, they put their cards back in their decks and their duel disks deactivated.
"Good duel, Smith." Said Jon showing some sportsmenship.
"Whatever, I don't need your sympathy." That was all he said and turned to walk away, leaving Jon on his side of the dueling field. Then he heared a clapping sound coming from the stands. He saw us clapping for him, he waved at us and said, "Thanks you guys." Jon turned and left out of the duel arena.
"That was entertaining." Trayvon said as he stood up and continued, "Come with me, it's time I showed you your rooms." We got up and followed him, before me and Mayra stepped out of the dueling arena, she whispered to me.
"Meet me here in one hour."
Then went back to following Trayvon to our rooms.
