The Paths of Destiny (3)

Previously…

          “I summon Spear Dragon (1900) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Spear Dragon, attack his Doom Lord! Doom Lord is not destroyed. Your LPs aren’t safe thanks to Spear Dragon’s effect for he deals damage to you equal to the difference in his ATK and Doom Lord’s DEF.

          “I don’t think so,” said Aster. As long as Clock Tower Prison has 4 Clock Counters on it, I’ll never take any Battle Damage.

          “I use Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Clock Tower!” said Kaiba. Clock Tower Prison is destroyed.

          “Thank you, now I can summon another Destiny Hero to my field,” said Aster. Thanks to Clock Tower’s other effect, if it’s destroyed with 4 Clock Counters on it, I can now summon Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster (????) in Attack Mode. Dreadmaster’s effect now activates, destroying all Destiny Hero Monsters I control but there aren’t any and he also lets me bring back Double Dude and Diamond Dude to my field. As an added bonus, his ATK and DEF equal Diamond Dude and Double Dude’s combined ATK! Dreadmaster’s ATK rises to 2400.

          “Big deal, he’s no match for my Ultimate Dragon,” said Kaiba. My Spear Dragon now switches to Defense Mode and I also switch Vorse Raider to Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

          “I play another Field Spell, Dark City, boosting the ATK of a Destiny Hero Monster that attacks a Monster with more ATK,” said Aster. Dreadmaster, destroy Vorse Raider!

          “I activate Shrink, which halves your Monster’s ATK for one turn!” said Kaiba. Dreadmaster’s ATK drops to 1200 then rises to 2200 by Dark City’s effect and Vorse Raider is destroyed.

          “I end my turn,” said Aster. (0) No one hides from destiny!

          “I tribute Spear Dragon for Luster Dragon #2 (2400) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. That ends my turn. (0)

          “My move,” said Aster. Now, I tribute my 3 Monsters for the one and only Destiny Hero - Plasma (1900) in Attack Mode.

          “All that for a 1900 ATK Monster?” asked Kaiba. How pathetic.

          “Have you heard of his special effect?” asked Aster. What he does is allow me to equip him with one of your Monsters and gain half of that Monster’s ATK and every one of that Monster’s effects. So I’ll take your Ultimate Dragon! Plasma’s ATK rises to 4150. Destiny Hero Plasma, destroy Luster Dragon #2!

          “You’ve triggered my Trap Card, Shadow Spell,” said Kaiba. Your Monster loses 700 ATK and is forbidden to change Modes. Plasma’s ATK drops to 3450.

          “I end my turn,” said Aster. (0)

          “Time to finish you off!” said Kaiba. I remove my Blue-Eyes and my Vorse Raider from play to summon a Monster that will take your Monster down despite having less ATK!

          “What Monster?” asked Aster.

          “I summon Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envy of the End (3000) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Next, I use his special effect. By paying 1000 points, all cards in our hands and on the field are automatically destroyed and you take 300 damage per card destroyed! His LPs drop to 250 and Chaos Emperor Dragon, Shadow Spell, Luster Dragon #2, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Spear Dragon and Dark City, and Destiny Hero Plasma are destroyed, along with the remaining cards in Kaiba’s hand, reducing Aster’s LPs to 2900.

          “So much for your strategy said Aster. I thought you said you were going to beat me this turn but I guess not as I only lost 2100 points.

          “Just go,” said Kaiba. (0)

          “Fine,” said Aster. I summon D - Cubic (0000) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

          “How sad,” said Kaiba drawing his card. I use my Monster Reborn Spell to revive my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to my field. Ultimate Dragon, trounce his last defense! D - Cubic is destroyed. Make your final move! (0)
