The Warrior Returning Alive (Part 2)

Previously…

            “Here goes,” said Yugi. I activate Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards. Next, I discard my Magnet Warriors for Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Valkyrion, destroy his Phoenix Enforcer! *Phoenix Enforcer is not destroyed, but Gurimo’s LP drops to 7100.* Why wasn’t Phoenix Enforcer destroyed?

            “Its effect prevents it from being destroyed in battle,” said Gurimo.

            “I end my turn,” said Yugi. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “By the power of The Orichalcos, I shall win,” said Gurimo. *Silent Magician’s ATK rises to 2500.* I play The A. Forces! It raises the ATK of my Warrior-Type monsters by 200 for each Warrior-Type monster I control! *Phoenix Enforcer’s ATK rises to 3400, Gearfried and Dark Blade’s ATKs rise to 3100 while Makyura’s ATK rises to 2900.*

            “That’s not enough to defeat my Valkyrion,” said Yugi.

            “I end my turn,” said Gurimo. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Alright,” said Yugi. I play Card of Sanctity, forcing us to draw cards until our hands hold 6. and since you drew cards, Silent Magician gets stronger! *Silent Magician’s ATK rises to 3000.* Valkyrion, destroy Makyura! Makyura is destroyed and Gurimo’s LP drops to 6500 while Gearfried and Dark Blade’s ATKs drop to 2900 and Phoenix Enforcer’s ATK drops to 3200.

            “When Makyura goes to my Graveyard, I can play Trap Cards from my hand,” said Gurimo. I activate 2 Hero Signals (Info) and 1 Destiny Signal (Info)! My Hero Signals let me play Elemental Hero Stratos (Info) (2300 ATK), Elemental Hero Ocean (Info) (2000 ATK) and Destiny Signal lets me play Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (Info) (1900 ATK) in Attack Mode! With The A. Forces, my monsters all get stronger! Gearfried and Dark Blade’s ATKs rise to 3500, Phoenix Enforcer’s ATK rises to 3800, Stratos’ ATK rises to 2900, Ocean’s ATK rises to 2600, and Diamond Dude’s ATK rises to 2500.

            “I use the effect of Valkyrion, which sends him to my Graveyard and brings back Gamma the Magnet Warrior (Info) (1800 DEF), Beta the Magnet Warrior (Info) (1600 DEF) and Alpha the Magnet Warrior (Info) (1700 DEF) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. Then I set 2 cards face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “You’re finished!” said Gurimo. Silent Magician’s ATK rises to 3500. Each of my monsters are far more powerful than yours. Once they’re gone, I can wipe out your LP and take your soul. However, I must first dispose of your Marshmallon and I have just the card to do so! First I Summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (Info) (2100 ATK) in Attack Mode. You’ll never defeat my army of monsters! Sparkman’s ATK rises to 3800, Diamond Dude’s ATK rises to 2700, Stratos’ ATK rises to 3100, Ocean’s ATK rises to 2800, Enforcer’s ATK rises to 4000 while Gearfried and Dark Blade’s ATKs rise to 3300. Then, I Tribute Diamond Dude, Sparkman and Ocean for Destiny Hero - Dogma (Info) (3900 ATK) in Attack Mode. Stratos’ ATK drops to 2500, Enforcer’s ATK drops to 3400, Gearfried and Dark Blade’s ATKs drop to 2700. Now that a LIGHT and DARK monster are in my Graveyard, I remove them for Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning (Info) (3500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Let’s not forget that with another Warrior-Type monster out, my monsters get stronger still! Beginning’s ATK rises to 4700, Dark Blade and Gearfried’s ATKs rise to 2900, Dogma’s ATK rises to 4100 and Stratos’ ATK rises to 2700 and Phoenix Enforcer’s ATK rises to 3800. Now I use his effect, which by preventing him from attacking removes Marshmallon from play! Marshmallon disappears from the field. Stratos, destroy Gamma! Gamma is destroyed. Dogma, destroy Beta! Beta is destroyed. Phoenix Enforcer, destroy his Alpha! Alpha is destroyed. Gearfried, destroy Silent Magician!

            “Go Soul Shield (Info)!” said Yugi. By paying half my points, the Battle Phase ends! His LP drops to 4000.

            “Very well, I end my turn,” said Gurimo. (Hand: 1 card)

            “My move,” said Yugi. His LP drops to 2000. Why did my LP decrease?

            “Dogma’s effect halves your points during your Standby Phase following his Summoning,” said Gurimo.

            “I’ve gotta figure out a way to defeat all of his monsters,” said Yugi to himself. First, since my Silent Magician has 5 Spell Counters on it, I can Tribute it to Summon Silent Magician LV8 (Info) (3500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Next, I set 1 card face-down. Silent Magician, destroy his Gearfried! Gearfried is destroyed and Gurimo’s LP drops to 5900 while Beginning’s ATK drops to 4500, Dogma’s ATK drops to 3900, Dark Blade’s ATK drops to 2700, Stratos’ ATK drops to 2500, and Phoenix Enforcer’s ATK drop to 3600. I will defeat you next turn! (Hand: 4 cards)

            “State your name!” said Hassleberry.

            “Alister’s the name,” said Alister. It’s time to Duel!

            “Sam Hill!” said Hassleberry. You gotta be outta your mind!

            “Afraid, are we?” asked Alister.

            “No way!” said Hassleberry. Time for combat! Both start their motorcycles.

            “I Summon KC One Crayton (2500 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Alister. Clayton, destroy his Dark Driceratops!

            “I activate Amber Pitfall!” said Hassleberry. Your monster goes to Defense Mode and cannot change modes.

            “Fine, that ends my turn,” said Alister. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “It’s feedin’ time for I play Ultimate Tyranno (3000 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Hassleberry.

            “I’ll make that dino extinct for my Clayton has far more ATK than yours,” said Alister.

            “My monster has an effect,” said Hassleberry. It must attack all your monsters at once so fire away, Ultimate Tyranno! All 3 monsters are destroyed. I set 1 card face-down and refer to you. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I play Toy Robot Box (Info)!” said Alister. By discarding a card, it lets me Summon 3 Toy Robot Tokens (0 DEF x3) in Defense Mode. Next, I play Pot of Greed (Info). So I get 2 cards. Then, I activate Sky Union (Info), letting me Tribute my Tokens for Air Fortress Ziggurat (Info) (3000 ATK) in Attack Mode. That ends my turn and since my turn has ended, I can Summon another Toy Robot Token in Defense Mode. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Sorry, but your monster is going down!” said Hassleberry.

            “How? You can’t use Spell or Trap cards on my Ziggurat!” said Alister.

            “My monster’s effect forces it to attack if it’s in Attack Mode,” said Hassleberry. Tyranno, attack! All 3 monsters are destroyed. Next I play Black Tyranno (Info) (2600 ATK) in Attack Mode and end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I Summon Cyber Soldier of Darkworld (Info) (1200 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn by activating my Royal Decree (Info) Trap. It negates any other Trap Cards on the field. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Your monster is no match for Black Tyranno,” said Hassleberry. I Summon Black Stego (Info) (1200 ATK) in Attack Mode. Black Tyranno, destroy his Cyber Soldier! Cyber Soldier is destroyed. Black Stego, attack directly! Alister’s LP drops to 5200. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I play Kinetic Soldier (Info) (1850 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Alister. Kinetic Soldier, destroy his Black Stego! Black Stego is not destroyed and his LP drops to 5050. How did your monster survive?

            “When Black Stego is attacked, he goes to Defense Mode,” said Hassleberry.

            “I end my turn,” said Alister.

            “I play Element Saurus (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Hassleberry. Black Tyranno, destroy his Kinetic Soldier! Kinetic Soldier is destroyed and Alister’s LP drops to 4300. Element Saurus, attack the enemy directly! Alister’s LP drops to 2800. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I activate another Aetonyx Flame (Info) Spell!” said Alister. Black Tyranno, Black Stego, and Element Saurus are destroyed. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “This war is over!” said Hassleberry. I draw! Perfect. Just what I need to win this! I activate Pot of Greed (Info), so I get 2 cards. Next I Summon Tyranno Infinity (Info) (? ATK) in Attack Mode. Then I play Dino Stomp (Info), so when my Infinity attacks, I can destroy a Spell or Trap Card you control. Infinity attack! I destroy your Royal Decree! Royal Decree is destroyed. Now I activate my face-down card, Survival Instinct (Info)! So by removing 3 Dino-Type monsters in my Graveyard from play, I get 1200 points and since my Tyranno Infinity’s ATK is 1000 points for every Dino I removed from play, his ATK is raised! Tyranno’s ATK rises to 3000 while Hassleberry’s LP rise to 8500. Now your LP are wiped out! Alister’s LP drops to 0 and the seal shrinks around him, taking his soul as he yells. Another soldier down! Hassleberry’s Bio Band activates and he collapses. Meanwhile…

            “Seems Alister didn’t have what it takes,” said Dartz. Gurimo, it’s your turn to face Yugi!

            “I won’t fail you, master,” said Gurimo. He races off.

            “You’d better not, for the Great Leviathan needs souls to be reborn,” said Dartz. Elsewhere…

            “Oh great. The wackos with The Seal of Orichalcos on their heads are back,” said Kaiba. It’s time to finish them off!

The Road to Victory (Part 1)

On a motorcycle…

            “Once I find you, I’ll take your soul with ease!” said Alister to himself. All I got to do is find you! Elsewhere…

            “I can’t believe Syrus lost!” said Alexis. Now he’s gone forever!

            “Not if I can help it!” said Jaden.

            “What do you mean, Jaden?” asked Alexis.

            “I gotta find the person that defeated Syrus and defeat him in a Duel,” said Jaden.

            “How are you going to do that?” asked Alexis.

            “I don’t know,” said Jaden.

            “We need a plan,” said Hassleberry.        

            “Yeah but what?” asked Jaden.

            “I can answer that easily,” said Alister.

            “State your name!” said Hassleberry.

            “Alister’s the name,” said Alister. It’s time to Duel!

            “Fine,” said Hassleberry. Where’s the battlefield?

            “Here,” said Aster. He points to two motorcycles. We’re Dueling on top of them while they’re moving!

            “Sam Hill!” said Hassleberry. You gotta be outta your mind!

            “Afraid, are we?” asked Alister.

            “No way!” said Hassleberry. Time for combat! Both start their motorcycles.

            “I’ll start,” said Alister. I Summon Gorlag (Info) (1000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Gorlag’s ATK rises to 1500. Thanks to his effect, for every FIRE monster out, he gets 500 ATK points. Next I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 4 cards)

            “I play Sabersaurus (Info) (1900 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Hassleberry. Next, I play Jurassic World (Info). This Field Spell gives all Dino-Type monsters 300 ATK and DEF! Sabersaurus’ ATK rises to 2200. Sabersaurus, forward march! Gorlag is destroyed and Alister’s LP drops to 7300. I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I activate Aetonyx Flame (Info),” said Alister. It destroys all monsters that aren’t FIRE or Fiend-Type. Sabersaurus is destroyed. Now I can bring back my Gorlag in Attack Mode! Gorlag (Info) reappears. Next I play The Seal of Orichalcos (Info)! It raises the ATK of all my monsters by 500! Jurassic World is destroyed and Gorlag’s ATK rises to 2000. Fortunately for you, I can’t attack this turn, so I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “Alright, I draw,” said Hassleberry. I play Gilasaurus (Info) (1400 ATK) in Attack Mode and since it was a Special Summon, I Tribute so Dark Driceratops (Info) (2400 ATK) can report for duty in Attack Mode. Dark Driceratops, destroy his Gorlag! Gorlag is destroyed and Alister’s LP drops to 6900. I end my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I Summon KC-1 Crayton (Info) (2500 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Alister. Crayton, destroy his Dark Driceratops!

            “I activate Amber Pitfall (Info)!” said Hassleberry. Your monster goes to Defense Mode and cannot change modes.

            “Fine, that ends my turn,” said Alister. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I play Big Evolution Pill (Info), which forces me to sacrifice one of my troops but in exchange for 3 of your turns, I can play a Dino-Type monster without Tributes,” said Hassleberry. I Summon Super Conductor Tyranno (Info) (3300 ATK) in Attack Mode. Conductor Tyranno, attack his Crayton! Crayton is destroyed. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            “I Summon another KC Crayton (Info) in Attack Mode,” said Alister. Next, I reveal my face-down card, Tank Corps (Info)! It Summons 3 Tank Tokens (1200 DEF) in Defense Mode! Plus my Crayton gains 500 ATK for each Token! Crayton’s ATK rises to 4000. Crayton, destroy his Conductor Tyranno! Super Conductor Tyranno is destroyed and Hassleberry’s LP drops to 7300. That ends my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “It’s feedin’ time for I play Ultimate Tyranno (Info) (3000 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Hassleberry.

            “I’ll make that dino extinct for my Crayton has far more ATK than yours,” said Alister.

             “My monster has an effect,” said Hassleberry. It must attack all your monsters at once so fire away, Ultimate Tyranno!

Heavily Armored (Part 2)

            “Alright,” said Valon. I Summon Black Hole Shield (500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Burning and *Buster Knuckle’s ATKs rise to 2200.* Burning Knuckle, destroy his Steamroid! Steamroid is destroyed and Syrus’ LP drops to 7100. Why did your LP drop to 7100 when I only did 200 damage to you?

            “When Steamroid is attacked, he loses 500 points,” said Syrus.

            “Fine by me,” said Valon. Buster Knuckle, destroy his Truckroid! *Truckroid is destroyed and Syrus’ LP drops to 6400.* Advanced Shield, Big Bang Blow and Black Hole Shield, attack him directly! *Syrus’ LP drops to 3900.* That ends my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “My move,” said Syrus. I play Power Bond, discarding my second Steamroid, my Drillroid and my Submarineroid to my Graveyard for Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill (3000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Thanks to Power Bond, my Jumbo’s ATK doubles! *Jumbo Drill’s ATK rises to 6000.* Jumbo Drill, destroy his Black Hole Shield! *Active Guard is destroyed instead.* Why didn’t you lose LP? Jumbo Drill’s ability deals you damage equal to the difference in his ATK and your monster’s DEF!

            “Active Guard brings any Battle Damage I take to 0,” said Valon. You’ll have to better than that, mate! You’ve got nothing against my Deck of armor!

            “I disagree,” said Syrus. I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. Power Bond’s other effect deals me 3000 damage now. His LP drops to 900.

            “I play Trap Buster (Info) (500 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Valon. Burning and Buster Knuckle’s ATKs rise to 2400. That ends my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I play Expressroid (Info) (1600 DEF) in Defense Mode and thanks to his effect, Truckroid and Drillroid come to my hand,” said Syrus. Jumbo Drill, destroy his Trap Buster!

            “I activate Extinction Fist (Info)!” said Valon. This lil’ number lets me destroy your Jumbo Drill and Summon the monsters used to Summon it from your Graveyard to your field but since you retrieved 2 of them, only your Submarineroid is Summoned. Jumbo Drill is destroyed and Submarineroid (Info) (1800 DEF) appears in Defense Mode.

            “I end my turn,” said Syrus. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I bring back Psychic Amor Head from my Graveyard using its effect,” said Valon. Psychic Armor Head (Info) (500 ATK) appears and Burning as well as Buster Knuckle’s ATKs rise to 2600. Then I Tribute it for Double Cloth Armor (Info) (500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Burning Knuckle, destroy his Submarineroid!

            “I activate Cyber Repairer (Info)!” said Syrus. You get to draw a card but my monster can’t be destroyed in battle.

            “Maybe but my Buster Knuckle possesses the ability to deal damage even if your monster is in Defense Mode,” said Valon. Buster Knuckle, destroy Submarineroid!

            “I activate Emergency Provisions (Info), which by sending my 2 face-down cards to my Graveyard, I gain 2000 LP!" said Syrus. His LP rise to 2900 then drop to 2100.

            “I end my turn,” said Valon. (Hand: 1 card)

            “I play Pot of Greed (Info), giving me 2 cards,” said Syrus. Next I use Vehicroid Connection Zone (Info), sending my Expressroid on my field and my Truckroid, Drillroid and Stealthroid in my hand to my Graveyard for Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union (Info) (3600 ATK) in Attack Mode. Stealth Union, destroy his Trap Buster! Stealth Union is destroyed and Syrus’ LP drops to 300. Double Cloth Armor is then destroyed. What happened to Stealth Union?

            “I switched your attack to my Double Cloth Armor and when it’s attacked, the attacking monster is destroyed and you take half your monster’s ATK as damage,” said Valon. After that, Double Cloth Armor is destroyed.

            “I end my turn,” said Syrus. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Figures,” said Valon. Burning Knuckle, end this Duel! Syrus’ LP drops to 0. Game over, mate! The Seal shrinks around Syrus and he yells as his soul is taken. Told ya you were no match for me Deck of armor! He walks away laughing. Meanwhile…

            “Seems like Valon has done well,” said Dartz.

            “I’m going after that dino guy,” said Alister.

            “Very well, see to it that his soul is taken,” said Dartz. Soon the Great Leviathan will arise! He laughs.

           “Anyone seen Jaden?” asked Alexis.

           “Nope, I haven’t seen sergeant Jaden anywhere,” said Hassleberry. We’d better call for backup.

            “Good thinking, Hassleberry,” said Syrus. Maybe the other students have seen him.

            “I’m not a student but I found ya, mate,” said Valon.

            “Who are you?” asked Syrus.

            “The name’s Valon it’s time that we Duel, Truesdale,” said Valon.

            “Fine,” said Syrus.

            “I’ll start with The Seal of Orichalcos!” said Valon. With this card in play, we can’t leave until the Duel’s over. It also gives my monsters a 500 ATK boost and lets me hold up to 10 monsters in play at once. Next I Summon Psychic Armor Head (500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Then I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I Summon Truckroid (1000 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Syrus. Truckroid, destroy his Armor Head! Psychic Armor Head is destroyed and Valon’s LP drops to 7500. Next, since Truckroid destroyed, your monster, it gets equipped to mine, raising its ATK by 500! Truckroid’s ATK rises to 1500. I set 2 cards face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “Pretty good, mate,” said Valon. Now it’s time for me to return the favor and I have just the monster to do it. I Summon Big Bang Blow (Info) (0 DEF) in Defense Mode. Then, I play Full Armor Gravitation (Info), lettin’ me draw 10 cards and if I draw Armor monsters out of the 10 then I can Summon them! All the rest are sent to my Graveyard. Since I picked up 4 Armor monsters, I Summon Buster Knuckle (Info) (500 ATK) in Attack Mode, Active Guard (Info) (2500 DEF) in Defense Mode, Burning Knuckle (Info) (500 ATK) in Attack Mode and Advanced Shield (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Burning and Buster Knuckle’s ATKs rise to 2000. I forgot to mention that for every Armor monster I control, Buster Knuckle and Burning Knuckle get 200 more ATK. Buster Knuckle, destroy Truckroid!

            “I activate Magic Cylinder (Info), dealing you damage equal to Buster Knuckle’s ATK and blocking the attack!” said Syrus. Valon’s LP drops to 5500.

            “I end my turn,” said Valon. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “My move,” said Syrus. I Summon Steamroid (Info) (1800 ATK) in Attack Mode. Steamroid, destroy Burning Knuckle!

            “You gotta be outta your mind. Your monster can’t go head to head with mine,” said Valon. It should be fun though!

            “Steamroid has an effect that gives him 500 ATK when he attacks a monster!” said Syrus. Steamroid’s ATK rises to 2300. Steamroid, destroy his Burning Knuckle! Burning Knuckle is not destroyed and Syrus’ LP drops to 7800. How’s your monster still standing and why did I lose LP?

            “Simple, mate,” said Valon. Each Armor monster I control has a unique ability that lets me choose which Armor monster you attack and I moved it to my Active Guard.

            “I end my turn,” said Syrus. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “Alright,” said Valon. I Summon Black Hole Shield (Info) (500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Burning and Buster Knuckle’s ATKs rise to 2200. Burning Knuckle, destroy his Steamroid! Steamroid's ATK drops to 1300 and Steamroid is destroyed while Syrus’ LP drops to 7100. Why did your LP drops to 7100 when I only did 200 damage to you?

            “When Steamroid is attacked, he loses 500 points,” said Syrus.

            “Fine by me,” said Valon. Buster Knuckle, destroy his Truckroid! Truckroid is destroyed and Syrus’ LP drops to 6400. Advanced Shield, Big Bang Blow and Black Hole Shield, attack him directly! Syrus’ LP drops to 3900. That ends my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “My move,” said Syrus. I play Power Bond (Info), discarding my second Steamroid, my Drillroid and my Submarineroid to my Graveyard for Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill (Info) (3000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Thanks to Power Bond, my Jumbo’s ATK doubles! Jumbo Drill’s ATK rises to 6000. Jumbo Drill, destroy his Black Hole Shield! Active Guard is destroyed instead. Why didn’t you lose LP? Jumbo Drill’s ability deals you damage equal to the difference in his ATK and your monster’s DEF!

            “Active Guard brings any Battle Damage I take to 0,” said Valon. You’ll have to better than that, mate! You’ve got nothing against my Deck of armor!
