A Shocking Reality (1)

            “My draw,” said Syrus.

            “You now take 1000 damage!” said Lumis. Syrus’ LPs drop to 4800.

            “Anyway,” said Syrus. I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy the Mask of the Accursed on my Gyroid. Mask of the Accursed is destroyed. Steam Gyroid, end this duel! Lumis’ LPs drop to 0 and the glass beneath him breaks, causing him to fall but he activates his parachute and catches the pole sticking out of the building. Now to find Alexis! He heads down the elevator, races out and is confronted by a figure. Who’s there?

            “Who do you think, runt?” asked Zane.

            “Zane?” asked Syrus. What’s with the new wardrobe?

            “It’s part of the new me,” said Zane. Now then, I came here to duel you so let’s go but before we start, try these on for size. He hands Syrus a pair of “shock bands” and puts his pair on. They shock you each time damage is taken out of your LPs.

            “Fine,” said Syrus. He puts his on himself.

            “I play Exploder Dragon (0000) in Defense Mode,” said Zane. Like your submarine, my monster can attack directly also but the damage it deals in this way is halved so Cyberdark Edge, attack directly! Edge’s ATK drops to 400 and Syrus’ LPs drop to 7600 while Syrus yells in pain. Your suffering has only just begun! I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (2)

            “Here goes,” said Syrus. I play Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards. Next, I use Vehicroid Connection Zone, discarding Drillroid, Stealthroid, Truckroid, and Expressroid I control to my Grave for Super Vehicroid Stealth Union (3600) in Attack Mode. Stealth Union can attack all monsters you control at once but he must halve his ATK. Stealth Union, destroy both his monsters! Stealth Union’s ATK drops to 1800 and both monsters are destroyed and Zane’s LPs drop to 6200 and he doesn’t yell. Stealth Union is then destroyed. What happened to Stealth Union and why didn’t you take more damage?

            “Thanks to Exploder Dragon’s effect, I don’t take damage when he battles a monster and if he’s destroyed in battle, the monster that destroyed him is also destroyed,” said Zane.

            “I end my turn,” said Syrus. (1)

            “I play Cyberdark Horn (0800) in Attack Mode,” said Zane. Next I use his ability, letting me equip Exploder Dragon to him and giving my Horn 1000 more ATK! Cyberdark Horn’s ATK rises to 1800. Cyberdark Horn and Edge, attack Syrus directly!

            “I activate my Life Force!” said Syrus. By paying 400 points the Battle Damage I take to 0. His LPs drop to 6800 and he yells in pain.

            “I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Zane. (1)

            “I play Steamroid (1800) in Attack Mode,” said Syrus. Thanks to his effect, if he attacks, he gets 500 more ATK! Steamroid, destroy Cyberdark Horn! Steamroid’s ATK rises to 2300 but Exploder Dragon is destroyed instead.

            “Sorry but thanks to Cyberdark Horn’s second effect, if he’s attacked and would be destroyed in battle, the monster he’s equipped with is destroyed instead.

            “I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Syrus. (0)

            “I play Pot of Greed, so that’s two more cards,” said Zane. Next, I play Cyberdark Keel (0800) in Attack Mode. Then, I use my face down Call of the Haunted to revive my Cyberdark Edge from my Graveyard. Cyberdark Edge appears. Now I play Power Bond, sending all 3 Cyberdark monsters to my Graveyard for Cyberdark Dragon (1000) in Attack Mode. Thanks to Power Bond, his ATK doubles! Cyberdark Dragon’s ATK rises to 2000. Plus, for every monster in my Graveyard, he gets 100 ATK! Cyberdark Dragon’s ATK rises to 2400. Finally, I equip my Dragon with Exploder Dragon, giving it 1000 more ATK! Cyberdark Dragon’s ATK rises to 3400. Cyberdark Dragon, destroy his Steamroid!

            “I activate Cyber Repairer!” said Syrus. Now my monster’s invincible in battle this turn.

            “Perhaps but your LPs aren’t!” said Zane. Plus, since I’m attacking your Steamroid, it loses 500 points. Steamroid’s ATK drops to 1300 and is destroyed, reducing Syrus’ LPs to 4700 as Syrus yells in pain. Had enough yet? Well there’s worse in store for you!
