17 Chilling In The Schoolyard 11
Zane eyed the six cards on his hand, before placing one card in the spell zone, "First, I'll be activating Pot of Greed to draw two more cards." he said.
The green grinning pot monster flashed into existence in front of him, before disappearing a few moments later after he drew two cards and Zane's hand went up to seven cards.
"Now let's see how you deal with this," Zane mused, before placing another spell card down, "I activate the spell card Polymerization and from my hand, I fuse the two Cyber Dragon's I have to fusion summon Cyber Twin Dragon!"
There was dizzying flash of light and two huge gleaming serpentine metallic dragons appeared in front of Zane, before warping and merging together, taking the form of a much larger, twin headed metallic serpent dragon.
Cyber Twin Dragon - Machine/Light/Level 8/Fusion/Effect: 2800/2100
"But I'm not finished there," Zane added with his smirk stretching, "Now, since this was a special summon, I can still normal summon, and from my hand, I summon Heavy Mech Support Armour!"
In front of him, a large U-shaped spaceship monster appeared. Looking almost like a magnet to Yarden's eyes. He grimaced as he recognised it.
Heavy Mech Support Armour - Machine/Light/Level 3/Union/Effect: 500/500
'He isn't playing around here.' he thought to himself.
"Now, Heavy Mech Support Armour is a Union Monster, with its effect allowing it to become one with any machine monster," Zane continued on, and then gave a click of his fingers, the newly summoned machine monster flying over to the twin headed metallic dragon and merging together as Cyber Twin Dragon took residence up on top of it, and gleaming brightly, "Now, not only can my monster not only not be targeted by Card Effects, my Cyber Twin Dragon also gains 500 attack and defence points!"
Cyber Twin Dragon - Machine/Light/Level 8/Fusion/Effect: 3300/2600
"And to finish off my turn, I'll be placing one card face down, and ending my turn," Zane finally finished, a face down card appearing before him as he inserted it into the spell and trap zone, leaving him with two cards left in his hand, "Let's see how you do against this, shall we?"
Yarden eyed the big ass metal twin headed metal dragon leering down at him, before snorting and drawing a card as he started his turn, "Well, I think you'll be familiar with this," he mused, before placing a spell card on the field, "I'll be playing Pot of Greed to draw two cards."
Like Zane before him, a green grinning pot monster flashed into existence before him briefly as he drew two cards.
"Now, before anything else, I'm gonna take care of a little something," Yarden mused, before placing a spell card down, "I'm playing Dark Hole."
A massive void of darkness swirled into existence below the field and began dragging the only monster there into it, the Cyber Twin Dragon.
"Nice try," Zane clicked his fingers and his two monsters, the Cyber Twin Dragon and Heavy Mech Support Armour split apart, "As long as they were combined, if my monster would be destroyed by any card effect or an attack, I can let Heavy Mech Support Armour deal with the fallout for my dragon instead."
The spaceship-like monster was sucked into the black hole and disappeared alongside it, destroyed. And Zane's Cyber Twin Dragon, returned to its original attack and defence points.
Cyber Twin Dragon - Machine/Light/Level 8/Fusion/Effect: 2800/2100
"I already knew that," Yarden shrugged, then smirked at Zane, "So, you wanna play with metal dragons huh?" he hummed, "Let's see how the new boys stack up against the original Metal Dragon."
He placed a spell card down, "I'll be copying you again and using Polymerization to fuse the Lesser Dragon and the King of The Swamp in my hand, to fusion summon Metal Dragon!"
An oozing slimy head and bipedal winless green lizard appeared in front of Yarden, before swirling together and merging. A roar split the air as a gigantic metallic dragon easily the same size as the Twin Headed Cyber Dragon burst into existence. Where the Cyber Dragon's were sleek and silver in colour, the Metal Dragon was rougher, with grey silver armour.
Metal Dragon - Machine/Wind/Level 6/Fusion: 1850/1700
Zane quirked an eyebrow, "I'll applaud your tactic to get rid of the union, but what do you expect to do with a monster like that? It's not even as strong as one of my normal Cyber Dragon's and has no effect to compensate." the blue haired third year pointed out, un-perturbed.
Yarden chuckled, "Oh, but it being so weak, even as a fusion is what makes Metal Dragon such a useful card here," he retorted, before placing another spell card down, "I'll be playing the Equip spell card, Fusion Weapon. This card can only be used on a level 6 or below fusion monster, and it gives them both 1500 attack and defence points!"
One of Metal Dragon's arms glowed, before it transformed, becoming a large, red crackling rail cannon.
Metal Dragon - Machine/Wind/Level 6/Fusion: 3350/3200
Zane's eyebrows rose lightly, "Well, I suppose that is a good play," he chuckled, "Your dragon has become stronger than my own, for now."
Yarden didn't reply, his eyes going to Zane's face down. 'He didn't counter its summoning or powering up.' he noted.
He placed another spell card down, "I'll be using Pot of Greed for a second time to draw two more cards." he replied. Again, the grinning pot monster flashed into existence for a brief few moments and Yarden drew two cards. A massive smirk spread across his face when he saw them.
Perfect. Even if Zane did have a counter now, it didn't matter. Not when he had Revived Serpent Night Dragon and Nightmare Sonic Blast.
'That face down, it definitely has to be something that will counter Revived Serpent Night Dragon.' Yarden's thoughts raced. He wouldn't risk the card on a monster of Zane's when he had a face down.
Now it was time to play one more spell card. "So Metal Dragon is stronger now, but I'm the type of guys that thinks there's no kill, quite like overkill," he grinned ferally, "I play Limiter Removal, doubling the attack all machine type monsters on my side of the field."
As the spell card flashed into existence, Metal Dragon gave a roar and expanded in size, becoming twice as thick and twice as long. When the metallic dragon finished growing, it was thicker than a truck and over one hundred feet long.
Metal Dragon - Machine/Wind/Level 6/Fusion: 6700/3200
Zane finally gave a noticeable reaction, his eyes widening just a tiny fraction, and Yarden heard gasps of shock come from behind him, "...I see." he uttered, before closing his eyes and crossing his arms.
Yarden thrust one hand out towards the Cyber Twin Dragon, "Now show it who the true Metal Dragon really is!" he ordered.
Metal Dragon gave a thunderous, air shaking roar and thrust its rail cannon arm out, firing a massive beam of green electricity towards the cybernetic dragon opposite it.
Cyber Twin Dragon let out a loud roar of defiance as the attacked washed over it, before promptly getting obliterated. And its masters life points fell rapidly.
Yarden Odhar: 4000LP
Zane Truesdale: 100LP
"And don't think we're finished yet!" Yarden shouted at Zane, his eyes sparking with the light of victory, "Before Metal Dragon can be destroyed by Limiter Removal, and before the battle phase ends, I'll be using Revived Serpent Night Dragon to sacrifice it to summon Serpent Night Dragon from my deck!"
Metal Dragon looked down at Yarden and he flashed it a thumbs up. The dragon nodded, before turning into silver energy that darkened and burnt into dark flames. The flames shot down in front of Yarden, and from them Serpent Night Dragon appeared.
Serpent Night Dragon - Dark/Dragon/Level 7/Normal: 2350/2400
Zane opened his eyes, "And there it is, your ace monster huh? And free to attack my life points directly," he mused, calm as can be. He confirmed Yarden's thoughts, that he had a counter ready, "Before you can attack, I'll be activating Cybernetic Fusion Support from my hand, a quick play card that allows me to banish machine monsters from my hand, deck or graveyard by paying half my life points, and using them to fusion summon a monster from my extra deck with them."
Yarden Odhar: 4000LP
Zane Truesdale: 50LP
"I'll be banishing the two Cyber Dragons, my Heavy Mech Support Armour and my Cyber Twin Dragon from my graveyard, to fusion summon Chimeratech Over Dragon!" Zane shouted back.
There was a flash of light, and a gargantuan metal four headed dragon appeared in front of him, a thick serpentine metal body.
Chimeratech Over Dragon - Machine/Dark/Level 10/Fusion/Effect: 3200/3200
"And just to make sure you can't target it, I'll be revealing my face down card," Zane continued, "Rare Metalmorph! When this equip trap is equipped to my monster, it gains 500 Attack points, and it has a handy little effect." he smirked mysteriously as his dragon expanded in size, giving a quadruple chorus of roars that shook the air like Metal Dragon before it.
Chimeratech Over Dragon - Machine/Dark/Level 10/Fusion/Effect: 3700/3200
'I already know the effect,' Yarden growled. It made it so that it could counter any one spell card effect that targeted the equipped monster. He knew all about the Metalmorph cards since his favourite cards had always been the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, 'On top of that, even with it gone, this thing will still have thirty two hundred attack points and the ability to attack four times since four monsters made up its fusion.'
He shook his head, 'Doesn't matter,' he put those thoughts out of mind, he had his biggest trump card ready to play after all, "Honestly, you've got some scary ass beat sticks." Yarden admitted. If it wasn't for his spirits, and the Heart of the Cards giving him exactly what he needed and making his draws perfect combinations, he'd get crushed.
"And I wasn't expecting you to use one of my own tactics like that against me," Zane's frown turned into a light grin, "I was playing to counter you, I wasn't expecting such an absurd brute force attack right from the get go. This duel has been short, but it has been fun."
"It has," Yarden's grin returned, "Let's see if you still think it's fun though, after I play this. Nightmare Sonic Blast."
Zane blinked, "...Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with the card, what does it do?" he asked.
Yarden's grin broadened, "It's a special card that I can only use when I have a Serpent Night Dragon on the field," he began, "I turn over the top four cards of my deck, and depending on how many monsters there are, there's three effects I can get. One, I can add any of the four to my hand an re-arrange the others in any order. Two, I can target one card on the field and destroy it. Three, all of the above."
Zane's eyes went wide, "...With that...!" he trailed off, his face shifting into shock.
Yarden began laughing loudly and drew the four top cards and displayed them openly for everyone to see, before even checking them himself, "Let's see now," he hummed, tilting them slightly, so he could see, "Carboneddon, Copycat, Petit Dragon and Ookazi, looks like we got three, huh?"
Perfect. Two cards that could turn the situation around, and one that could outright let him win. God he loved his deck. They were the best.
"Huh..." Zane blinked, "..I was not expecting this." he admitted.
"I don't think anybody was," Yarden grinned as he placed the three monsters back, Carboneddon being the next in line, followed by Copycat, then Petit Dragon, "The card I chose to put in my hand, is Ookazi, you know what that means huh?"
Surprisingly, Zane chuckled, "I do," he nodded lightly and spread his arms wide, acceptingly, "Come then, claim your victory."
"I activate Ookazi," Yarden replied in response, playing the card, "With this, I can deal you eight hundred points of burn damage straight on."
"To think a card like this would be the one to end my winning streak." Zane mused as a massive sphere of flame roared towards him a moment later, washing over him and dropping the last of his remaining life points to zero.
Yarden Odhar: 4000LP
Zane Truesdale: 0LP
Without Yarden ever losing a single life point. Even if, he was just moments away from losing them all in an instant.
