Chapter 4: War Heroes pt. 1

 

 

Present Day: Unknown Location

 

A man with slicked-back, blonde hair and wearing a crisp, grey suit was sitting at a desk in his office; his head was in his hands in frustration.

 

“Damn that Godwin, he was always the smarter one,” the man said to himself, “Even my blackmail didn’t work! I thought it would. Well, never mind that, I will just have to take it by force!”

 

The man stood up from behind his desk, jerking it forward and sending his chair rolling back into the wall.

 

“The great Joel Karne will not lose!” the man said. He rose his right arm and pulled the sleeve down, revealing his bare flesh.

 

Suddenly a bird started to glow on his arm. It was almost like a scar at first, something that had destroyed, no melted, the skin a certain pattern, leaving the form of a bird taking flight. It glowed in a light blue tint.

 

As he forced his power into the mark it glowed brighter. Suddenly a seal appeared around him in his office, surrounding him in an eerie, green glow.

 

“I have figured out a lot in the last few months Godwin. No longer do I have to destroy the places I leave when I teleport; I can now efficiently bend space and time to my desires. And I assure you that your dear old friend is a whole lot stronger than you and your ‘signer’ friends. You rejected me all those years ago, and now I will destroy you.”

 

As he finished his outer-monologue the bird glowed to its strongest, engulfing the room in a blindingly bright light. The seal was drawn in around him and in an instant he was gone. Nothing was there to say he had been there, or that he had left.

 

 

Present Day: Downtown Aequitas

 

“The DPF agents are on their way, we have to get out of here.”

 

“And why should I follow you?”

 

Kal took off his helmet and revealed his identity to Trey, the man he had been looking for for a long while. He was sure that he was exactly the man he had been trying to find, he was sure of it.

 

“Just come with me.”

 

Trey was reluctant, but he was still curious about this guy. And the sound of the DPF didn’t sound very good either, since he did set a series of buildings on fire. He still wasn’t quite sure how he had done it, but it was too much of a coincidence to think otherwise.

 

Trey acquiesced, driving in the general direction of Kal’s D-Wheel.

 

“First, turn off the Duel Mode.”

 

“That would be a forfeit!”

 

Kal sighed, “I’m not looking for an easy win. I could care less, but if it makes all the difference to you…”

 

Kal pressed a button on his dashboard and all of the creatures around him disappeared. He was then surrounded by nothing, and his D-Wheel started to transform right back into a normal-looking motorcycle. The back rest retreated back underneath him, creating a more stream-line feel; the Duel Disk folded back up into the dashboard; the arms for the hand and field view folded into the sides of the machine; all was normal looking, a seriously nice, shiny-new, black bike.

 

Trey, appeased by Kal’s surrender, did likewise. His bike transformed the same way as Kal’s; after all they were the same make and model. Trey was still baffled how Kal had one, since everyone he had ever met before his escapade had wondered where he got one. His answer was this: it was his fathers, handed down to him after he left. After he left with something very important of Trey’s.

 

The sirens started to get closer, seeming to be going twice the speed the duo was. But that wasn’t going to be happening for long.

 

“Trey, we will be coming up on an underground tunnel soon, and I need you to follow behind me as fast as you can. Don’t second guess my actions, just do what I do. Understand?”

 

“Don’t call me ‘Trey’ like I am your friend, because I’m not. And as for your directions, I got it. Don’t talk down to me.” Trey was slightly irritated again.

 

“I mean it,” Kal replied, mostly to himself.

 

The DPF fighters were in sight, they could now see their quarry.

 

“Watch this,” Kal said, slightly amused, “I activate the Spell Card, Wishful Thinking!”

 

Kal took a card from his pocket and slid it into a small slot on the dashboard; the computer accepted the request even though he wasn’t in duel mode.

 

Suddenly a Spell Card appeared behind him, but instead of following along it just stayed put where it was activated. When the Police went past it, it seemed to create a trigger that created a holographic scene of smoke, completely blinding the two officers.

 

Trey was amazed, “How did you do that?”

 

“That card was made by we anarchists, we use it to evade the police.”

 

“But it’s not a real card, how did you get the computer to accept the target hologram?”

 

“How do you think I hacked into your helmet’s frequency?” Kal responded.

 

Trey thought for a moment. “You must be the tech wizard of this operation you hinting on.”

 

Kal grinned, though Trey couldn’t see.

 

Suddenly there was a drop off; Trey didn’t see it coming. He shortly landed, and he seemed to be going down a steep incline. Soon they were on a level surface.

 

All was dark, and Trey had no idea where they were going. He could only follow the taillights of Kal’s D-Wheel as he speed off into some underground tunnel that apparently the DPF didn’t know about. It wasn’t even on the map.

 

“Where are we?” Trey asked into his microphone.

 

“The Garage,” he heard Kal’s voice from inside his helmet’s speaker system.

 

A lighted area appeared ahead, seemingly from nowhere in the darkness. Kal drove up to that area and swiftly parked his D-Wheel outside an elevator door. Trey drove up and parked opposite him.

 

Kal got off of his bike, took off his helmet, and took his Spell Card out of the slot he put it in before; he stuck it in the pocket of his elaborate jacket, which had several pockets on the front side. It almost appeared like it belonged to the DPF officers, but that couldn’t be: their jackets didn’t have pockets like that.

 

Trey got off his D-Wheel as Kal walked over to the elevator door. He pressed a button and Trey walked over to him. Motioning to his D-Wheel he asked Kal, “Where did you get that D-Wheel?”

 

Kal seemed like he was expecting this answer, for he answered the question the nanosecond before he was done asking it.

 

“It was my father’s, he got it in a contest a long while ago. Why do you ask?”

 

“And your father, where is he?”

 

Kal turned and looked at Trey. “That is none of your business, but I know you to be a man who only asks questions he deeply desires the answers too. My father died, murdered. His body was never found, and I thought I had found the guy who did it. He is still at large.”

 

Trey seemed to take all this in without enthusiasm. He ran his hand through his helmet-flattened, brown hair to show that he was done with his questions in a nonchalant way. Kal accepted this gesture and turned back to the elevator. At that moment the doors opened, and they both entered. Kal turned and pressed the button; Trey turned and folded his arms.

 

They arose quite fast, leading up to some floor very far up. Curious thing though: as the numbers representing floor levels increased, Trey could not feel the elevator rise a bit. He wondered if they were even in motion.

 

Almost reading his mind, Kal said, “Smooth ride, huh?”

 

Trey looked over at him, wondering just what his angle was. Where was he going? And why?

 

The elevator must have stopped, for the doors opened up. Only the strange thing was that there was no exit, it showed a blank wall behind the opened doors.

 

“Hey, what kind of trick is this?” Trey asked, perplexed.

 

Kal’s eyes grew wide in fear as he turned to silence the man next to him.

 

“Shut up! We need to be quiet here..”

 

Trey wondered why, but he decided not to make a fuss. Kal put his hand to the wall and lightly pushed it to the side, revealing an open passage. Wondering what the point of that was, Trey followed Kal out the newly opened door.

 

When they were out, Kal slid the wall back in place. That is when Trey realized that it was not a wall; it was a painting that the elevator was behind. He got even more confused.

 

Kal walked as silently as he could down the dark hallway in front of him. There were no lights, only doors on either side of him. Trey followed reluctantly.

 

“Lights?” Trey asked.

 

Kal turned around and pressed his hand to his mouth in a silencing gesture.

 

“Look, we are not supposed to be here in this building; however I have managed to make a temporary residence here. I tuned all the cameras to not be able to see us as we walked by, but they still pick up sound. We need to be silent, understand?”

 

Trey glared at Kal for a moment, but nodded his head in acceptance of these terms. Kal released him from his grip and continued walking down the hallway.

 

At the end of the hallway he stopped in front of a blank space of wall. Kal pressed his hand to a certain spot near shoulder-level. Just then the spot below his hand glowed a bright white, and the blank wall slid inward. The wall split in half and separated to opposite sides, allowing them passage into a secret room beneath the façade. They both walked in quickly and allowed the door to close behind them silently.

 

Once inside he found the room brilliantly lit. It was only one room, but it was a large one. There was a quaint seating arrangement in the center of the room that consisted of two couches on opposite sides of a coffee table and a chair on the third side, farthest from the door. The curious part was that there were people on the furniture when they walked in.

 

Lying on one couch relaxing was a woman with short, dark red hair. She was wearing a tight-fitting, black shirt with hap-hazard blue and orange marks on it and a pair of short, jean shorts with black leggings underneath that ran down to her think, cute pair of black boots.

 

On the other couch were two men in the middle of a practice duel. The first was a man with semi-long, fiery red hair. His skin was peculiarly white, as if he never stood outside more than traveling from building to building. He wore a plain, green shirt with a black vest with many zipper pockets over it. He wore plain jeans and black tennis shoes.

 

The final man was the most peculiar. He had long black hair, longer than Kal’s, that hung over his shoulders. Even with this more feminine style, it still looked quite manly on him. His skin was lightly tanned, though not much more than the man he was dueling against. His clothing was all dark shades; he wore a dark black, heavy material jacket over a dark grey shirt with a phoenix design on it. His sleeves were pushed up, showing his slightly toned arms. He wore dark blue jeans and a pair of black skater shoes. The most peculiar thing about him was something else about his skin: he had designs all over his body. They weren’t exactly tattoos, because they weren’t any picture of anything Trey had ever seen. He had thick, black lines that started it the middle of the back of his hand, and ran up his arms. They disappeared under the jacket he was wearing, so Trey imagined them going farther, perhaps into a design on his chest. The design was also on his face; two smaller lines went from below his eyes and went in a slightly diagonal pattern to his neck. They too disappeared under the shirt, so he imagined them meeting up at that chest center of the design. Trey wondered just what they were for..

 

Trey stopped where he was while Kal walked one more step forward.

 

“Guys, this is Trey Kortun, the man we have been looking for.”

 

The man with the red hair placed his hand face-down on the couch cushion, stood up and walked over to Trey, arm extended, “Yes, very nice to meet you.” He said. He had a bit of an Irish accent.

 

Trey didn’t accept the gesture. After a brief moment of awkward standing the man with the fiery hair stuck his hand in his pocket.

 

“You’re leaving me hanging there, Friend,” he said.

 

“Trey, this is Geoff O’Hara,” Kal introduced.

 

Trey nodded his head once to show that he heard. He wasn’t one bit enthusiastic about this situation.

 

“Over on the couch is my Talia, Talia Memourn.”

 

Talia took the moment to open her eyes and smile at the man in her quirky way. Trey nodded at her too. He then turned his head to the man on the couch, the one with the strange markings on his skin.

 

The man stood up and turned to face Trey.

 

“Alan Szarp.” His voice was deep and slightly threatening, but Trey didn’t falter.

 

“Why am I here?” Trey asked impatiently.

 

“In due time, my friend. But first I think that we should more properly understand each other before we get into the details about what we do here,” Kal said, “Who would like to go first?”

 

This motion irritated Trey; he didn’t want to be here, and so he wanted to leave. These people were a motley crew of miscreants, as far as he could tell, so what part did he have to this group? What did they want him to be? Why should he work as a teammate?

 

The group of four exchanged looks; Trey looked at the floor.

 

Alan looked at them all and decided to speak, “Why don’t we all sit back down, and then we can talk in a more happy setting.

 

Kal headed over to Talia and sat right next to her; she moved so that she could lie next to him, her head on his chest. Alan and Geoff sat down where they were and they put their decks back in order. Trey silently walked over to the far side of the room and sat in the one chair. Geoff tried to offer him some punch, but he declined before the chance was offered.

 

“I’ll start,” Alan said. His deep voice added a bit of weight to the story as he talked, making it have a feel of sadness even though he hadn’t yet started.

 

“When I was young my parents disappeared. No trace, no suspects, nothing to suspect. They just vanished. So I was left alone, alone to wander the streets by myself. No one would take me in, I was too old. No one wanted a 11 year old that remembered life with their parents. As a result, I ended up getting into trouble a lot.

 

“I would steel as much as I could to get what I needed: water, food, and shelter. If I could pilfer a book, I would read it in a day. I always tried to return whatever I took; I didn’t want to be a criminal. I was just trying to survive.

 

“Occasionally I would get caught and I would be sent to the local jail. I was marked with their usual yellow brandishes, just like every other criminal in the dueling world. Needless to say, those times in jail were some of the better days of my life. At least there I had a bed, whether or not it was a warm one.

 

“One day, when I was starting to hit puberty, something odd happened to me. Not only did I get a growth spurt and a changing voice but I also started to be able to do things I wasn’t able to before. I didn’t know it was me at first, but whenever I would get passionate about something, whether it was love, hate, or excitation something in the room would explode or get knocked over. No one could understand it, but everyone knew of the one commonality. Me.

 

“As a result of that I was sent away from everyone. Soon everyone in the entire town knew who I was and what could happen around me. I was an outcast, like someone with a deadly disease.

 

“One day, after taking some bread from a local market, I was being chased by the local DPF. I never got a duel disk, so I couldn’t fight my way out of being captured. But I didn’t want to be tortured in the jails like they had been frequently leading up to. I didn’t want to go back.

 

“I was scared when I was standing there; I was petrified. But when the officer grabbed my arm I released a wave of anger that could not be stopped. Something inside of me was sparked, like someone pressed a self-destruct button. All of my fear was gone, and it was replaced by rage. This rage couldn’t be contained.

 

“My body started to shake a little, and then it started to glow. The glow expanded from my body into a shockwave, loosening the officer’s grip and sending him crashing into his D-Wheel behind him. The shockwave was sent through that part of town, cracking buildings and destroying the market place. No one died, I don’t believe. It was just a dangerous blast that was sent through the town. The cop was unconscious, and I escaped…

 

A fist was slammed on the coffee table in between the five of them. It was Trey’s.

 

“I can’t take this anymore. You, Kal, you told me this would be a safe place, not some band of loonies that think they are magic. I’m out of here.”

 

Trey stood up and walked over to the door, but Alan spoke before he could reach for the door knob.

 

“I can prove it.”

 

Trey hesitated. Without turning around he responded, “How?”

 

“A duel.”

 

Trey was just challenged to a duel. He couldn’t walk away, not now. Precedent doesn’t allow the challenged to walk away from this.

 

Trey turned around.

 

“What with?”

 

Alan walked over to a cabinet on the wall and pulled out two of the old Kaiba Corp duel disks from the Battle City era and tossed one to Trey.

 

“Where?”

 

“Here.” Alan placed his disk on his arm and placed his deck into the slot.

 

Trey did likewise.

 

“Duel!”

 

Trey: 8000, 5

Alan: 8000, 5

 

“I will go.” Alan drew his card, making his hand 6.

 

“During my Standby Phase I will activate the ability of my Dark Emanater – Gargojii! By revealing him…” Alan turned the card in his hand around to face his opponent, “I can draw one and discard one!”

 

Alan’s deck glowed, and then he picked up a card. He then sent a monster to the graveyard.

 

“Next I move to my Main Phase to activate my Dark Matter Contract Spell Card! This allows me to discard 1 Dark Emanater Monster and draw 2 cards!”

 

Alan discarded another monster from his hand and added 2 new more cards to his hand from the top of his deck. He revealed the cards to his opponent, showing 1 monster and 1 Trap Card.

 

“For each Dark Emanater Monster I drew I send 1 card from my deck to the Graveyard.”

 

He sent one more and it, too, was a monster.

 

“Now the final effect of my Contract activates! When it is sent to the Graveyard from the field I take 200 damage for each Dark Emanater Monster in my Graveyard! And right now I have 3…”

 

Alan’s Life Points shifted down 600 because of the effect.

 

Trey: 8000, 5

Alan: 7400, 6

 

“Now I Summon my Dark Emanater – Iliciil in Attack Mode!” Alan said.

 

He took one of his 6 cards from his hand and placed it on the duel disk. The virtual hologram of the card appeared in front of him, disappearing to reveal a dark creature. It seemed humanoid, but it was shrouded in a dark mist that kept its power unknown.

 

[spoiler=Card Info]

Dark Emanater – Iliciil

•••

DARK

Fiend/Effect

1700/0

 

This card gains the following effects, based on the amount of “Dark Emanater” monsters in your Graveyard. • 1: If this card is selected as an attack target, you can remove this card from play to negate the attack and and the Battle Phase. • 2 or more: If this card is selected as an attack target, you can remove 1 “Dark Emanater” Monster in your Graveyard from play to have this card not destroyed by battle this turn (battle damage calculated normally). • 3: you can release this card to Special Summon 1 “Dark Emanater” Monster in your Graveyard. During your End Phase you must discard up to 2 cards. If you do not, this card is destroyed. During your next Draw Phase, draw a number of cards equal to the number of cards you discarded by this effect.

 

 

 

 

“I place 1 card face-down and move to my end phase, where I must discard cards to keep my Iliciil on the field. I discard 2, and end my turn.”

 

Trey wondered just what these monsters could do. Why did the mist around the monster seem to be expanding? He drew his card in silence.

 

Trey: 8000, 6

Alan: 7400, 2

 

“I Summon my Alede, the Discharge Amalgamate in Attack Mode!”

 

A fiery demon with long, spindly arms appeared on the field. 800/1300/LV 2.

 

To see this card, go to: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-105340.html

 

“Now I activate its special ability! I send the top 3 cards of my deck to the Graveyard to Special Summon my Grivelle the Discharge Kindler from my hand!”

 

A man with a staff and glowing hands appeared next to the fiery demon. 500/1200/LV 2.

 

To see this card, go to: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-105340.html

 

“Now I will activate his ability! By sending the top 2 cards of my deck to the Graveyard I can Special Summon 1 Discharge Monster in my Graveyard! So I pick my Level 4 Pycer the Discharge Knight!”

 

Alan wondered why he declared it as a Level 4 monster, because that didn’t make sense to add that useless piece of information. But then it clicked, he was planning a Synchro Summon of some sort. That had to be it, their levels equaled 8, and he had a Tuner. What else could he do?

 

“I activate my Trap Card, Darkness Deform! This negates the Summon of your monster and returns it to your hand! Now you can’t perform your Synchro. All I have to do is remove 1 Dark Emanater Monster in my Graveyard from play..”

 

Alan took one of the cards out of his Graveyard and placed it in his breast pocket.

 

“I still take the 400 damage due to my monster’s effect.” Trey pointed out.

 

Trey: 7600, 5

Alan: 7400, 2

 

“But I must point out that I was not planning a Synchro Summon. I have no Synchro Monsters that add to Level 8, I was testing your limit on your Trap Card. And now that I have found out what it is…” Trey took one card out of his hand, “I activate the Spell Card Ember Salvage! This card makes me send cards from my deck to the Graveyard and draw afterward! Since I took 400 damage from my Grivelle, I send 2 cards to the Graveyard and draw 2!”

 

[spoiler=Card Info]

Quick-Play Spell

Activate during a turn in which you have taken damage due to the effect of a "Discharge" Monster(s) you control. Send 1 card from the top of you Deck to the Graveyard for every 200 damage you took and draw 2 cards.

 

 

 

 

Trey: 7600, 6

Alan: 7400, 2

 

Trey grinned at his cards that he drew, seeing a perfect strategy.

 

“I release my two monsters to Special Summon one of my dragons, Garawroth the Discharge Dragon!”

 

Both of the monsters before Trey disappeared to leave a giant, smoke dragon in their wake. 2700/1300/LV 8.

 

To see this card, go to: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-105340.html

 

“Now, my Dragon! Attack that creature with your ferocious fog strike!”

 

The Dragon rose into the air, consuming most of the small room. The monster poured all of its power into a blast that went straight into the monster on the other side. Alan’s Life Points decreased because of this, but yet the monster was still around.

 

Trey: 7600, 6

Alan: 6400, 2

 

The darkness around the humanoid creature on Alan’s side of the field decreased a little, but sure enough the monster did not leave. Trey cocked his head to one side in curiosity.

 

“When my Dark Emanater is attacked, and I have 2 or more Dark Emanater Monsters in my Graveyard, I can activate one of his special abilities! By removing one of my four Dark Emanaters in my Graveyard from play he is not destroyed by battle during this one battle!”

 

Trey was irritated by this explanation, but he still had both the field and hand advantage. And it was only getting better.

 

“Fine, now my monster’s ability activates,” Trey said, “When it deals damage to you, I get to activate one of its abilities, and I select to add 1 “Discharge” Monster in my Graveyard to my hand!”

 

Trey selected a level 4 monster in his Graveyard and added it to his hand.

 

“I will place 1 card face down and end.”

 

As Alan drew his cards Kal said a phrase in Talia’s ear, “Strange; he acts tough and everything but in the middle of a heated duel his true, fun-loving self arises.”

 

Alan looked at his hand for only a moment, seeming to see if there was anything else he could do. He already seemed to have a strategy in his mind from the previous turn.

 

“Remember, due to my monster’s effect since I discarded 2 cards I draw 2 cards instead of my usual one this turn. And now that there are exactly 3 Dark Emanater monsters in my Graveyard I can activate the most powerful ability of my Iliciil! By removing him from the field I can Special Summon 1 Dark Emanater from my Graveyard in its place!”

 

The man started to glow and all the darkness around him started to enter into his body. His body started to crack and purple light started to spill out from inside him. His body melted down, leaving only an eerie light behind. The darkness smoke started to pour out from inside of the light, circling around in a slow tunnel. The speed picked up, twirling into a tornado of smoke. Then a figure appeared from inside, a man with reddish hair wearing a dark outfit. 2000/0/LV 5.

 

[spoiler=Card Info]

Dark Emanater – Jimatukame

•••••

DARK

Fiend/Effect

2000/0

 

When this card is Special Summoned from your Graveyard activate 1 of the following effects based on the number of "Dark Emanater" Monsters in your Graveyard. • 1 or more: This card gains ATK equal to the number of "Dark Emanater" Monsters in your Graveyard x 100. • 3 or more: Discard 1 card. This card gains 700 ATK during the damage step. • 4 or more: When this card attacks a Defense Position monster, remove it from play before the damage step.

 

 

 

 

Trey wondered what this new creature was, and just how powerful this new creature could be.

 

“When Jimatukame is Special Summoned from the Graveyard he can activate one of his effects. I have 3 Dark Emanater monsters in my Graveyard still, so I can activate his second ability. I discard 1 card…” Alan sent 1 monster card in his hand to the Graveyard slot on his duel disk, “…and from now during the damage step he will gain 700 attack points!”

 

“That’s unfortunate, since my Garawroth has 2700 attack points. That means a stalemate…” Trey pointed out.

 

Alan smirked, looking at his hand, “Not unless I do something about it. Remember, I still haven’t Normal Summoned this turn. So I will Summon this creature, another Dark Emanater!”

 

The space beside Jimatukame started to fill with smoke, a fog that twisted and writhed as if it were alive. It slowly formed into a little man with long red hair and a staff. 900/0/LV 2.

 

[spoiler=Card Info]

Dark Emanater – Ponikame

••

DARK

Fiend/Effect

900/0

 

Once per turn you can remove 1 "Dark Emanater" Monster in your Graveyard from play to activate 1 of the following effects: • Target "Dark Emanater" Monster you control gains ATK equal to the number of "Dark Emanater" Monsters in your Graveyard x100 until the End Phase. • Target "Dark Emanater" Monster you control gains DEF equal to the number of "Dark Emanater" Monsters in your Graveyard x400 until the End Phase.

 

 

 

 

“I will activate his special ability! By removing 1 Dark Emanater Monster in my Graveyard from play, making the total level to 3 once more, I can increase the attack of 1 Dark Emanater monster I control by 100 for each other Dark Emanater in my Graveyard. That is an increase of 300, going just over your Dragon’s attack points. What do you say to that?”

 

“I say bring it on.” Trey stood defiant. Alan wasn’t phased.

 

“Attack, by Jimatukame, destroy his dragon!”

 

The man shrouded in darkness flew forward on a cloud of smoke, drawing in more power as he went. His ATK went up to 3000, and he drowned the dragon in smoke. It slowly disappeared, not exploding, not cracking, nor even making a sound. It was slowly just gone, along with 300 of Trey’s Life Points.

 

Trey: 7300, 6

Alan: 6400, 3

 

Trey grinned.

 

“What is so humorous?” Alan asked.

 

Trey chuckled a tad, “You walked into my Trap.”

 

The face-down card that he had laid last turn flipped face-up, showing itself to Alan.

 

[spoiler=Card Info]

Discharge Boundary

Normal Trap

 

When a "Discharge" monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's level x 400. You can send the top 5 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 "Discharge" monster from your Graveyard, except the destroyed monster.

 

 

 

 

“Now that you have destroyed my Garawroth it deals you damage equal to its level x400, meaning that you lose 3200 Life Points for its level 8 status!”

 

An image of the Dragon flickered right before a barrage of flames and embers was hurtled at Alan, chipping out half of his Life Points.

 

Trey: 7300, 6

Alan: 3200, 3

 

“And now the second ability of the card activates! I send the top 5 cards of my Deck to the Graveyard to Special Summon a different Discharge Monster in my Graveyard, so welcome my Irith the Discharge Commander!”

 

Trey flipped over the top 5 cards of his deck and placed them in the Graveyard slot of his duel disk. He then took out one of the cards, a level 6 monster, and placed it on the field.

 

The monster was a devastating man with wings and claws. Flames erupted around him as he appeared on the field. Suddenly the building began to shake, and the nearby area around the monster became scorched.

 

“I wonder how that happened…” Geoff said, meaning every bit of it sarcastically.

 

Alan looked at Trey with a touch of irritation. Kal knows that Alan doesn’t get upset very easily, he never really has. This duel must have been getting to him, for he was starting to show emotions. Most of the time he was stoic, meditative and informative. But this duel was bringing out something that Kal hadn’t seen in him: life.

 

“I place 1 card face down and end my turn.”

 

Trey drew his card in silence, looking at his 7 cards with wonder. How much fun it must be to have the hand advantage.

 

“Your monster has only 2000 attack points right now, but he will gain ATK when I attack it. 700, is that correct? Meaning that my creature would be 300 points too short…”

 

Trey seemed to be talking more to himself than that of his opponent. It was strange, Kal thought, he never usually did that.

 

“I need to increase my monster’s ATK, and I can do that with this!”

 

Trey took one of those 7 cards and placed it on the field.

 

“I Summon my Iengy the Discharge Combatant! And with it’s ability I can discard a second copy of Irith from my hand to have it increase the first’s ATK by 600…”

 

“Nah, you won’t have that happen,” Alan interrupted Trey’s monologue thought, “I activate my face-down, Dark Matter Protectorate!”

 

The face-down card flipped face-up, revealing a card with a massive black hole on it. People below were being sucked into the void.

 

[spoiler=Card Info]

Dark Matter Protectorate

Normal Trap Card

 

When your opponent Summons a monster or an opponent's monster declares an attack, send up to 2 "Dark Emanater" Monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard with combined levels equal to or more than the level of the monster and destroy it.

 

 

 

 

“Now that you have Summoned that monster right there, I will send one Level 3 and 1 Level 1 Dark Emanater Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard to destroy it. This also increases my power pile to 5 creatures.”

 

The card disappeared, leaving only darkness. The darkness wound its way over to the combatant, slowly dissolving it the way that Jimatukame did Garawroth.

 

“Now you have no way to destroy my most powerful creature.” Alan looked pleased with himself, or at least the pain on his face from the last round had gone away.

 

Kal turned his head slightly as if listening to something very quiet. His expression suddenly melted into a grim fear, as if he found out something he didn’t necessarily want to know.

 

“Guys, I think that I hear sirens,” he said.

 

Alan turned to face him, “Because of the ruckus made by the Summoning of his two creatures?”

 

Trey stared at him with scorn, “No way you are pinning this on me, I wanted to walk.”

 

“Guys, we have no time for fighting, we need to head out of here,” Geoff said, trying to calm the situation down. Really all this did was enhance the anxiety in the room.

 

“We must go,” Alan said.

 

“Not yet,” Trey said, “I need to finish this.”

 

Kal looked at Trey, “If we get caught the repercussions will be devastating…”

 

“Yeah I know. But the way I see it I have had two different duels tonight and I have yet to finish one. The last time you forced me to quit, and I will not allow that to happen again.”

 

Alan looked at Trey. “Will you back out?” Trey asked.

 

Alan slowly shook his head once.

 

“Good, then this duel will continue.”

 

“It is your move,” Alan reminded.

 

 

“Fine; and I have the right card for this situation.”

 

Trey took one card out of his hand. He was ready for the assault.

 

To Be Continued…

 

 

 

Next Time on Yu-Gi-Oh! TC:

 

Trey: I cannot believe that you are trying to tell me what to do!

 

Kal: We need to leave; I can’t believe you are putting the entire team at danger for your own purposes!

 

Trey: Hey, I am not even a part of this team, don’t include me in it.

 

Talia: Just finish your move and maybe we can escape in time.

 

Trey: Fine, and I will show you the biggest mistake you have made, Alan.

 

Alan: Whatever.

 

Trey: Why are you so depressed?

 

Alan: Maybe the rest of my story will explain that to you….

 

 

[BulletMan]

Again, great chapter. By the way, when do you think you'll show some of the new characters from the fan fic contest?

 

Also, I plan on making a fan fic of my charater if you havn't heard.

[Καsτοr]

Alan seems pretty nice.

Anyways, I wonder how Geoff fights. . . Woa, weird thought in my head!

[Aelsthla-Mental]

What the heck? Joel Karne sure isn't normal. What was that? An Earthbound God and the Orichalcos? He can teleport WITHOUT destroying the surrounding area... Creepy. And knows Godwin.

 

“Now that you have Summoned that monster right there, I will send one Level 3 and 1 Level 1 Dark Emanater Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard to destroy it.

 

Should probably change the first '1' to one.

 

And looks like we get to see those Dark Matter monsters earlier then I thought.

 

Anyway, well worth the wait. Great chapter!

 

So Talia is one of them... I must wonder where Kal found the rest, and what they have in common aside from their abilities...

 

Oh, and while it was worth the wait, can we expect the next chapter to not take quite as long :)? Or are you still in the midst of testing at school/busy with other things? Don't have to answer, mind you. It is getting a tad personal...

 

...Anyway, I was almost going to say I was sad that they were going to cut this duel short as well. Glad that Trey voiced my opinion :).

 

Wish you luck!

Before saying that the chapter was great - which I will - let me ask you a question. I say this without the slightest hint of offense, but is English your first language? There is a multitude of minor errors, not to mention the OCG on some cards - none of which are relevant to the chapter whatsoever or change anything, but they're worth mentioning.

 

I did quite like the chapter, although the duel was a bit "Who can throw out the highest number of bosses as fast as possible" rather than the slower, battle-oriented duels we usually see in the anime.

 

As Aesthla pointed out, you use a bit too many numbers, but still: Very good chapter.

[Crystal Beast 123]

Great Chapter, Kale! Can't wait for War Heroes pt II!

[Saiba Aisu]

I finally caught up with the reading! Pretty good job, Kale. I have a few criticisms here and there, bu nothing major.

 

I can't wait for Alexander's debut! Can you send me a PM when the time comes?

[Kale]

Again' date=' great chapter. By the way, when do you think you'll show some of the new characters from the fan fic contest?

 

[b']The characters that won in the contest will start as early as next chapter, though there wont be a duel for maybe 2 chapters.. i have the next couple planned in my head already.[/b]

 

Also, I plan on making a fan fic of my charater if you havn't heard.

 

I saw, good luck. ;) though, if he is in my fic... we'll figure that out when it comes to it. :D

 

Alan seems pretty nice.

Anyways' date=' I wonder how Geoff fights. . . Woa, weird thought in my head![/font']

 

You will see how Geoff fights soon.. :D Just wait a bit...

 

What the heck? Joel Karne sure isn't normal. Duh... :D What was that? An Earthbound God and the Orichalcos? .... no comment on that question... He can teleport WITHOUT destroying the surrounding area... Creepy. And knows Godwin. i have a clever story for that... be waiting. ;)

 

“Now that you have Summoned that monster right there' date=' I will send one Level 3 and 1 Level 1 Dark Emanater Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard to destroy it.

[b']maybe.. i tend to use the numbers as digits from making too many cards recently...[/b]

 

And looks like we get to see those Dark Matter monsters earlier then I thought.

 

:D i couldnt resist... they must be the best cards i have made.

 

Anyway, well worth the wait. Great chapter!

 

So Talia is one of them... I must wonder where Kal found the rest, and what they have in common aside from their abilities...

 

Those stories will be told in time.. We saw part of Trey's and Alan's already. i still have to expand on them, and start with Geoff.

 

Oh, and while it was worth the wait, can we expect the next chapter to not take quite as long :)? Or are you still in the midst of testing at school/busy with other things? Don't have to answer, mind you. It is getting a tad personal...

 

My planner just got freed up, i have nothing else really on the agenda. We should be getting the next chapter in only a week's time, like a normal anime. No promises, just in case something comes up.

 

...Anyway, I was almost going to say I was sad that they were going to cut this duel short as well. Glad that Trey voiced my opinion :).

 

I couldnt do that to you guys again... :D scared you there near the end, huh? i will be ending this duel, i promise.

 

Who do you think will win? :D Point Bets anyone?

 

Wish you luck!

There is a multitude of minor errors, not to mention the OCG on some cards - none of which are relevant to the chapter whatsoever or change anything, but they're worth mentioning.

 

[b']....is there any way that this statement couldn't be interpreted as offense? Not only is that a very personal question, but it is also very rude. Yes, English is my first language. And while i could care less the uses of a preposition or an article in a sentence, and yes i know what they are, i would rather write for you guys, more focusing on the storyline. I know there are errors, i usually only have a few hours to write an entire chapter. I rush so that i can finish the chapter and get it to you guys sooner. And i am starting to feel that no matter what there will be something wrong with OCG, but i must say, with no bombast mind you, that my OCG is better than maybe 90% of the members on this forum. Im sorry if this sounds a little defensive and irate, but that is exactly what i am. This could have been pointed out without the satire; rather than phrasing it the way you did you could have stated, 'You have some errors in the grammar and OCG of your cards.' Just something to look forward to in the future of grading other works. And while i do appreciate you commenting, i would rather you keep the satire to a minimum. [/b]

 

I did quite like the chapter, although the duel was a bit "Who can throw out the highest number of bosses as fast as possible" rather than the slower, battle-oriented duels we usually see in the anime.

 

That is rather what it is, Trey is irritated that he has to stay and he wants to finish it quickly. Alan is angry with Trey for thinking his story false and wants to slaughter him as fast as possible. As the next chapter goes you will see this slowly dissolve into a more methodical play, starting with Trey's card he can play at the end of the chapter. ;)

 

As Aesthla pointed out, you use a bit too many numbers, but still: Very good chapter.

 

Great Chapter' date=' Kale! Can't wait for War Heroes pt II!

 

[b']Working on that as much as possible.. [/b]

 

I finally caught up with the reading! Pretty good job' date=' Kale. I have a few criticisms here and there, bu nothing major.

 

[b']Feel free to tell me what to change. ;) thank you for catching up. :D i appreciate it.[/b]

 

I can't wait for Alexander's debut! Can you send me a PM when the time comes?

 

Sure, i can do that.

 

I do apologize to anyone who might have been harmed/offended/irritated in the making of this post.

[Wuu.]

I haven't read it all because of my mom but what i've read about a counterpart of the Signers and Dark Signer. Seriously, man; too much free time on your way home, how do you keep thinking of the stuff?

Well, i frequently dream... :D and daydreams are half of my everyday..

They are actually more related to the original Yu-Gi-Oh! television show rather than 5D's.. you will see what i mean when that happens. ;)

[Umbra]

There is exactly one way to make that question without any offense, and that is by asking it out of pure interest rather than actual story relevance. To be honest, I'm not too bothered by those errors - as I said, they were minor. I mentioned them because that's the way I review: I point out the things that can be improved. Everything that I did not mention is therefore perfect or at least very good in my opinion.

 

If you only have a few hours to write each chapter, then I see why some of the minor errors are there, and you're excused. They're the kind of things that won't show up in a word processor as being incorrect, and are therefore forgivable.

 

Also, as a minor note, my OCG is also better than 90% of this forum. :P

 

Either way, you've put my hopes up for the next chapter.

Thank you for the explanation.. I rather get overprotective over criticisms, as most everyone knows around here, so i would like to apologize for that. XD

 

Since i have free time i will have more writing time, and thus more time to proofread and stuff like that. I will also be able to get them out sooner, and make it more of a weekly to biweekly event. By next week i wont even have school to worry about, so i can devote tons of time into the fic. ;)

 

i would agree that your OCG has mad skilz too.. :D

 

thank you for looking toward the next chapter! This volume will make your head spin, at least that is what i am working up to. I have a wicked schweet idea that i think will be a major hit. ;)

 

thank you for being an active reader. Still decline a subscription? :D

[Wyhe]

Like the Dark Emanaters series, they seem as another unique archetype here...

 

And I see you're recycling Joel Karne again as your bad guy...but he knows Godwin. Wait just how is his plans going so far?

 

And the gang Kal gathered up, there must be a good reason for them specifically...

Great chapter Kale, I can't wait for the second part. I'm really glad they didn't end the duel early like last time.

 

I like the Dark Emanaters archtype, I hope they'll appear again. Anyway, awesome chapter yet again Kale.

thanks! i am starting on the next chapter today, actually, and it should be out tentatively by Tuesday or Wednesday. The longest part is making some cards that are being included in the fic, cards that i have yet to release. Be prepared for what i have coming. :D

i noticed that your name didnt send anything for the PM sub list. :| i couldnt figure out who you were now though.. but now i will update the sub list. ;)

 

dont worry, i will give this duel a good ending. :D it will be worth the wait. part of my reason for not ending a duel thus far is to keep you guys wanting more.. after all i have only released 4 chapters. ;) hopefully after chapter 5 you will all be hooked.

 

keep reading, mi amigos. ;)

Hey, is the whole enter a characetr thing still up and running?

Anyways, I loved this chapter.

Joel seems. . . A bit strange.

Alan is awesome.

Geoff, I don't really know yet.

why, yes it is. ;) either post it here or PM it. Any deck is allowed, just be sure to post a deck list. custom cards are welcomed, and appreciated. they need a back story, they need a description.. basically the same as my last contest. :)

 

if it gets a B+ or higher in my eyes i will consider it, unless there is some awesome spark about it that i love. :D

 

The backstories of Joel and Geoff are going to be explained soon, and the rest of Alan's is going to be spelled out next chapter. I envisioned Alan as being the bad a*s this fan fic, pardon my French XD, and i will show that next chapter as well. ;)

 

thank you for reading!

Sent app. Yet, still needs a few more cards. I need more art so I can make the cards. I'm not that good at written cards. So, any sugestions.
