A Legendary Ocean (Part 2)

Previously...

            “I be sending Levia-Dragon to Davy Jones for Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo Daedalus (2900 ATK) in Attack Mode. Then I be using A Legendary Ocean and sending it to Davy Jones to send all other cards in our hands and on the field to Davy Jones. Green Gadget and Swords are destroyed. That be endin’ my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Alright, I play Card of Sanctity, allowing us to draw cards until our hands hold 6,” said Yugi. Next, I play Watapon (200 DEF) in Defense Mode since a card effect added it to my hand. Then, I discard my Magnet Warriors to my Grave for Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Finally, I use Monster Reborn to revive Summoned Skull in Attack Mode. *Summoned Skull appears.* Valkyrion, destroy Ocean Dragon Lord! *Ocean Dragon Lord is destroyed and Admiral’s LP drops to 6200.* Summoned Skull, attack him directly!

            “Shiver me timbers!” said Admiral. *His score drops to 3700.*

            “That ends my turn,” said Yugi. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “First I be using Premature Burial, which for 800 doubloons brings back Levia-Dragon,” said Admiral. *Levia-Dragon appears and his LP drops to 2900.* Levia-Dragon, destroy *Summoned Skull! Summoned Skull is destroyed and Yugi’s LP drops to 1700.* Finally, I be settin’ 2 cards face-down to end me turn. (Hand: 4 cards)

            “My move,” said Yugi. He has two face-down cards, so I cannot risk just attacking, I must get rid of the face-downs first. I play Pot of Greed (Info) to draw twice. Next, I Tribute Watapon for Curse of Dragon (Info) (2000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Valkyrion, destroy Levia-Dragon! Levia-Dragon is destroyed and Admiral’s LP drops to 2000. Curse of Dragon, end this Duel!

            “I be activatin’ Gravity Bind (Info), anchoring all monsters above Level 3,” said Admiral.

            “I set 1 card face-down to end my turn,” said Yugi. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I be drawin’ and playin’ Warrior of Atlantis (Info) (1900 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Admiral. Then I be playin’ another Legendary Ocean (Info) card. Atlantis’ stats rise to (2100/1400).Warrior of Atlantis, destroy his Curse of Dragon!

            “He can’t do 'dat. Atlantis is a Level 4 monster!” said Joey.

            “Don’t forget, Joey that due to A Legendary Ocean, Atlantis becomes a Level 3 monster,” said Tea`.

            “She be right,” said Admiral. Curse of Dragon is destroyed and Yugi’s LP drops to 1600. I be endin’ my turn by setting a card face-down. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I’ve gotta destroy his Gravity Bind Trap or I can’t win this Duel,” said Yugi to himself. I use Valkyrion’s effect to bring back Alpha (Info) (1700 DEF) Beta (Info)

(1600 DEF) and Gamma (Info) (1800 DEF) in Defense Mode! Valkyrion disappears and the Magnet Warriors appear. Next I Tribute Alpha and Gamma to Summon Gandora the Dragon of Destruction (Info) (0 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            “He be no match for me Warrior of Atlantis,” said Admiral. He be a mere fish in the ocean.

            “He’s more than that,” said Yugi. His effect removes all other cards on the field from play and for each card removed, he gains 300 ATK but I have to pay half my LP to do so. His LP drops to 800 and all other cards disappear while Gandora’s ATK rises to 2100. Gandora, end this Duel! Admiral’s LP drops to 0.

            “Way to go, Yugi!” said Tea`.

            “Yeah, we knew you could do it!” said Joey.

            “Well done, me boy,” said Admiral. Ye are free to go. Meanwhile...

            “Where is everybody?” asked Jaden.

            “Dunno. Seems like they just plum disappeared,” said Jesse.

            “Wherever they are, they could be in trouble!” said Jaden. Let’s go find them! They race off. Elsewhere...

            “Not lookin’ good, eh Shirley?” asked Jim. Shirley just blinks. Wonder where everyone else is. Well, I’m not going to sit and wait. I’m going to find them!

            “No you’re not,” said Abidos.

            “What’s your name, mate?” asked Jim.

            “Abidos, the Third,” said Abidos. I’m here to Duel you. You don’t stand a chance for I’m undefeated!

            “Not for long, mate,” said Jim. Let’s go! They activate their Duel Disks.

Rude Kaiba (Part 2)

Previously...

            “I play Graceful Charity, giving me 3 cards by discarding 2,” said Kaiba.

            “With my Spell Absorption, I get 500 LP,” said Kaibaman. *His score rises to 6700.*

            “That won’t matter for I play Soul Release, removing my Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank from play,” said Kaiba. *Kaibaman’s score rises to 7200.* Next I activate my other face-down card, Return from the Different Dimension, bringing my removed monsters back for the price of half my points. *His score drops to 3250 while Z-Metal Tank and Y-Dragon Head (1500 x2) appear.* Finally, I remove my monsters from play to Summon XYZ-Dragon Cannon (2800 ATK) in Attack Mode. I activate XYZ’s effect, tossing out Versago the Destroyer to get rid of your Spell Absorption, Lord of D. to destroy your only defense and Spell Reproduction to destroy your left face-down card! *All of Kaibaman’s cards are destroyed except his other face-down card.* XYZ-Dragon Cannon, attack him directly! *Kaibaman’s LP drops to 4400.* That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I draw,” said Kaibaman. I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. Once you Summon, I win! (Hand: 0 cards)

            “You’re pathetic,” said Kaiba. I remove Blade Knight and Versago the Destroyer to bring out Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End (Info) (3000 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            “I activate Cloning (Info)!” said Kaibaman. Now I get a Token with the same AtTribute, ATK, DEF, and Level and Type as Chaos Emperor Dragon. A Token (3000 ATK) appears in Attack Mode.

            “I end my turn by switching XYZ-Dragon Cannon to Defense Mode,” said Kaiba. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Now who’s pathetic?” asked Kaibaman. I activate my Pot of Greed (Info), so I get 2 cards. Then, I use Graceful Charity (Info) for another 3 cards by discarding 2. Next I attack and destroy your Dragon Cannon with my Token! XYZ-Dragon Cannon is destroyed. Finally, I set 2 cards face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I set 1 card face-down,” said Kaiba. Chaos Emperor Dragon, destroy his Token!

            “I activate Shadow Spell (Info)!” said Kaibaman. Your monster gets weaker and must remain in Attack Mode! CED’s ATK drops to 2300.

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

            “Token, destroy his Chaos Emperor Dragon and wipe out what’s left of his LP!” said Kaibaman.

            “I don’t think so,” said Kaiba. I activate Magical Trick Mirror (Info)! Now I can use a Spell Card from your Graveyard and I choose your Shrink (Info), halving the ATK of your Token! The Token’s ATK drops to 1500 and is destroyed, reducing Kaibaman’s score to 1400.

            “I activate Flat LV 4 (Info)!” said Kaibaman. We can now both Summon a Level 4 monster to the field from our Decks and I choose Lord of D. (Info) (1100 DEF) in Defense Mode.

            “I choose Kaiser Sea Horse (Info) (1700 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba.

            “That ends my turn,” said Kaibaman. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “You’re finished!” said Kaiba. I Tribute Chaos Emperor Dragon for Kaiser Glider (Info) (2400 ATK) in Attack Mode. Kaiser Sea Horse, destroy Lord of D.! Lord of D. is destroyed. Kaiser Glider, end this Duel! Kaibaman’s LP drops to 0. I’m leaving!. He walks away. Meanwhile...

            “We’ve looked everywhere and no sign of Viper,” said Yugi. Where else could he be?

            “We’ll find him, wherever he is,” said Joey. Elsewhere...

            “I need a lad to start me business underwater,” said Admiral. Where he be? He finds him 5 minutes later. Shiver me timbers!

            “Uh, hi, do we know you?” asked Joey.

            “I be the Admiral,” said Admiral. I be here to offer you a bargain. What say you leave your town and join me for a new life below water?

            “I’m not willing to leave my friends behind!” said Yugi. I like it here.

            “What say we Duel and if you win, you be free but if not, you be stayin’ with me,” said Admiral.

            “Don't do it, Yug,” said Joey. It’s not worth it.

            “Let’s do this,” said Yugi. The rest of the gang collapse, then Joey hops to his feet.

            “You’re outta your mind, Yugi!” said Joey. Don’t you realize what’s at stake here?

            “It’ll at least keep this guy quiet when Yugi wins,” said Tea`.

            “I be startin’ the Duel with Cannonball Spear Shellfish (Info) (1000 DEF) in Defense Mode,” said Admiral. Soon you be stayin’ with me forever!

Snake Reign (Part 3)

Previously...

            “I’ve gotta get rid of that Vennominaga, but no card effects can get rid of it and with 3000 ATK, taking it out in battle isn’t easy either,” said Adrian to himself. I play Pot of Avarice, shuffling the 5 Cloudian monsters in my Grave to my Deck and giving me 2 cards. Next, I play my Sheep Cloud in Defense Mode and end my turn. *Nimbusman’s ATK drops to 500.*

(Hand: 1 card)

            “With Vennominaga out, you’ll be agreeing to what I said before this Duel began,” said Viper. Vennominaga, attack Nimbusman! Nimbusman is not destroyed and Adrian’s LP drops to 1000. That ends my turn. *Nimbusman’s ATK drops to 0 and is destroyed.* (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I set 2 cards face-down and end my turn,” said Adrian. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Only one defense stands between me and victory,” said Viper. Vennominaga, destroy Sheep Cloud!

            “I activate Natural Disaster!” said Adrian. Now when a Cloudian monster effect destroys 1 of your cards, you take 500 damage!

            “Your Trap doesn’t stop my monster’s attack!” said Viper. Sheep Cloud is destroyed and two Sheep Tokens appear. I end my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “Soon it’ll be my turn to start my zombie army,” said Marcel. Elsewhere...

            “Time to Duel Kaiba!” said Kaibaman. He walks off and finds him a half-hour later.

           “Who are you?” asked Kaiba.

            “I’m Kaibaman,” said Kaibaman.

            “Let me guess, you’re here to Duel me, right?” asked Kaiba.

            “That’s right,” said Kaibaman.

            “Well then let’s go,” said Kaiba.

            “I’ll start with Polymerization (Info) to Summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (Info) (4500 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Kaibaman. Next, I set 2 cards face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “How could you possess Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards when I have all 3?” asked Kaiba. There are only 3 in the world and I have them, meaning yours are fakes.

            “Oh they’re very real and when I attack next turn you’ll see that,” said Kaibaman.

            “Whatever,” said Kaiba. I use Pot of Greed (Info). I get 2 cards. Next, I use Cost Down (Info), discarding Thunder Dragon to drop 2 Levels from every monster I’m holding. Then, I use Soul Exchange (Info) to Tribute your monster for my Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Info) (3000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Finally, I set 1 card face-down to end my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I play Monster Reborn (Info) to resurrect Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (Info) in Attack Mode,” said Kaibaman. BEUD appears. Ultimate Dragon, destroy Blue-Eyes!

            “I activate De-Fusion (Info)!” said Kaiba. Your Ultimate Dragon goes back to your Fusion Deck and your 3 Blue-Eyes take its place. Ultimate Dragon disappears and 3 BEWDs (Info) appear.

            “I play White Dragon Ritual (Info), discarding Blade Knight for Paladin of White Dragon (Info) (1900 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Finally, I Tribute Paladin for a second Blue-Eyes (Info) in Attack Mode to end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I use Card of Demise (Info), letting me draw cards until my hand holds 5 and after 5 turns, I must discard an equal amount,” said Kaibaman. Then, I use Shrink (Info) to halve the ATK of one of your Blue-Eyes! Blue-Eyes’ ATK drops to 1500. Blue-Eyes 1, destroy his weakened Blue-Eyes! Blue-Eyes is destroyed and Kaiba’s LP drops to 6500. I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I must draw a decent card,” said Kaiba to himself. I won’t let a cheap copy defeat me!

Snake Reign (Part 2)

Previously...

            “I play Venom Shot,” said Viper. I send a Reptile-Type monster from my Deck to my Grave and put 2 Venom Counters on a face-up monster you control and I choose your Eye of the Typhoon! Plus, with yet another Reptile-Type monster in my Grave, Vennominon gets 500 more ATK! *Vennominon’s ATK rises to 3000 while Eye of the Typhoon’s ATK drops to 500.* Vennominon, destroy his Typhoon!

            “I activate Mirage Target!” said Adrian. Your attack is cancelled and I send a Cloudian monster from my Deck to my Grave and gain its ATK in my LP! I send Nimbusman! *His LP rises to 5000.*

            “Vennominon, destroy Poison Cloud!” said Viper. *Poison Cloud is destroyed.* *Vennominon is then destroyed and Viper’s LP drops to 6400.*

            “They call him Poison Cloud and that’s because when he’s destroyed in battle, so is the monster that destroyed it and you are poisoned of 800 LP,” said Adrian. The only thing that’s clear is my victory!

            “I use Vennominon’s effect,” said Viper. By removing a Reptile-Type monster in my Grave from play, she returns! Vennominon (Info) (2000 ATK) reappears. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Fine, then it’s my turn,” said Adrian. I must destroy that Vennominon but I have to use Spell or Trap Cards to do so but even if I do take it down, he can bring it back. I play Cloudian - Ghost Fog (Info) (0 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “You left your puny Cloudian monster wide open to the bite of Vennominon,” said Viper. Vennominon, destroy his Ghost Fog! Ghost Fog is destroyed.

            “By destroying Ghost Fog, your monster gets Fog Counters equal to its Level, which is 8,” said Adrian.

            “I set 1 card face-down and end my turn,” said Viper. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I Tribute my Sheep Cloud Tokens for Cloudian Nimbusman (Info) (1000 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Adrian. First, it gets a Fog Counter equal to the number of Tributes I used to play him so that’s 2. Plus, for every Fog Counter on the field, he gets 500 ATK! Nimbusman’s ATK rises to 6000. Nimbusman, destroy his Vennominon! Vennominon is destroyed and Nimbusman’s ATK drops to 2000 while Viper’s LP drops to 2900. Viper laughs.

            “You have allowed me to unleash my strongest monster!” said Viper. I activate Rise of the Snake Deity (Info)! Since Vennominon was destroyed, I can play Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes (Info) (0 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            “She’s no match for Nimbusman,” said Adrian.

            “I can assure you that she’s far more powerful than your Nimbusman for not only does she gain 500 ATK for every Reptile-Type monster in my Grave but she’s unaffected by card effects and when she inflicts damage to your score, she gets a Hyper Venom Counter. When 3 Hyper Venom Counters are on her, I automatically win the Duel regardless of your remaining LP! Vennominaga’s ATK rises to 3000.

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

            “Your turn doesn’t end until Venom Swamp adds a Venom Counter to your monster and drains its ATK,” said Viper. Nimbusman’s ATK drops to 1500. Now then, I set 1 card face-down and attack your Nimbusman with Vennominaga! Nimbusman is not destroyed but Adrian’s LP drops to 3500. Since your points were damaged by Vennominaga, she gets a Hyper Venom Counter. That ends my turn and your monster gets even weaker. Nimbusman’s ATK drops to 1000. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I’ve gotta get rid of that Vennominaga, but no card effects can get rid of it and with 3000 ATK, taking it out in battle isn’t easy either,” said Adrian to himself. I play Pot of Avarice (Info), shuffling the 5 Cloudian monsters in my Grave into my Deck and giving me 2 cards. Next, I play my Sheep Cloud (Info) (0 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn. Nimbusman’s ATK drops to 500. (Hand: 1 card)

            “With Vennominaga out, you’ll be agreeing to what I said before this Duel began,” said Viper. Vennominaga, attack Nimbusman! Nimbusman is not destroyed and Adrian’s LP drops to 1000. That ends my turn. Nimbusman’s ATK drops to 0 and is destroyed. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I set 2 cards face-down and end my turn,” said Adrian. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Only one defense stands between me and victory,” said Viper. Vennominaga, destroy Sheep Cloud!

            “I activate Natural Disaster (Info)!” said Adrian. Now when a Cloudian monster effect destroys 1 of your cards, you take 500 damage!

Snake Reign (Part 1)

In an alley...

            “Viper’s gotta be around here somewhere,” said Yugi.

            “We’ll find him,” said Joey. Elsewhere...

            “Viper, you owe me!” said Adrian.

            “What do you mean, Mr. Geko?” asked Viper.

            “We had a deal. I join your side if you give me access to the power you possess!” said Adrian.

            “You misunderstand. It wasn’t that we made a deal,” said Viper.

            “What say we Duel and if you win, I agree with what you said, but if I win, you agree with what I said,” said Adrian.

            “Fine,” said Viper. This should be amusing.

            “I’m starting,” said Adrian. I play Summon Cloud (Info). This allows me to play a Level 4 or less Cloudian monster from my hand so I Summon Cloudian - Poison Cloud (Info) (1000 DEF) in Defense Mode. Next, I use Big Summon Cloud (Info), letting me play Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon (Info) (3000 ATK) in Attack Mode for half my points. His LP drops to 4000. I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            “I play Snake Rain (Info), which sends 4 Reptile-Type monsters from my Deck to my Grave by discarding 1 card,” said Viper. Next, I activate Venom Swamp (Info)! With this card in play, at every End Phase, all non-Venom monsters get a Venom Counter and lose 500 ATK for each counter they have. When their ATK hits 0, they’re automatically destroyed. Next, I Summon Venom Snake (Info) (1200 ATK) in Attack Mode. I use his effect, giving your Eye of the Typhoon a Venom Counter and weakening it! Eye of the Typhoon’s ATK drops to 2500. Finally , I set 2 cards face-down and end my turn. Your monsters get counters! Eye of the Typhoon’s ATK drops to 2000. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “He may have only 2000 ATK but he can still dish out heavy rain to you,” said Adrian. First, thanks to Big Summon Cloud, my hand is discarded. Eye of the Typhoon, destroy Venom Snake! Venom Snake is destroyed and Viper’s LP drops to 7200.

            “Thanks for I activate Damage = Reptile (Info) and Snake Whistle (Info)!” said Viper. With Snake Whistle, I can play a Level 4 or less Reptile-Type monster and I choose Venom Serpent (Info) (800 DEF) in Defense Mode. Then, thanks to Damage = Reptile, I can Summon the almighty Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes (Info) (0 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            “Big deal. My monster is far stronger,” said Adrian.

            “He won’t be for long,” said Viper. Thanks to Vennominon’s effect, he gets 500 ATK for every Reptile-Type monster in my Grave! Vennominon’s ATK rises to 2500.

            “I end my turn,” said Adrian. Eye of the Typhoon’s ATK drops to 1500. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I play Venom Shot (Info),” said Viper. I send a Reptile-Type monster from my Deck to my Grave and put 2 Venom Counters on a face-up monster you control and I choose your Eye of the Typhoon! Plus, with yet another Reptile-Type monster in my Grave, Vennominon gets 500 more ATK! Vennominon’s ATK rises to 3000 while Eye of the Typhoon’s ATK drops to 500.Vennominon, destroy his Typhoon!

            “I activate Mirage Target (Info)!” said Adrian. Your attack is cancelled and I send a Cloudian monster from my Deck to my Grave and gain its ATK in my LP! I send Nimbusman! His LP rises to 5000.

            “It won’t matter for now that my turn is over, your Typhoon gets another counter and is destroyed!” said Viper. Typhoon’s ATK drops to 0 and is destroyed. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I won’t discard for Big Summon Cloud,” said Adrian. Big Summon Cloud is destroyed. Next, I play Cloudian - Sheep Cloud (Info) (0 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)
