The Dueling Gauntlet

{Early Chapter}

POV [Bonz]

"I'll activate Violet Crystal and equip it to my Dragon Zombie then I'll attack your Sand Stone to finish this duel!"

Bogard 500--->0 LP

"Heheeheheheheheh another soul claimed for my ghouls, now the only thing standing my way is that Derrick and that other kid, but as soon as defeat those two I'll be invincible!"

"Uhhh sir can you please proceed to arena 7 for your next match." "Huh alright I'll go and show them the power of dastardly strong zombies.

'After being led to my third victim I see man dressed in a green jacket with a red beanie with a smug grin on his face.'

POV [Riku]

'After finishing my second duel and I'm being moved to arena 2 to fight my next opponent and it seems that after reaching the top 16 they stop telling you who your opponents are.'

As I arrive to arena 2 I'm greeted with a familar face as Zygor looks at me. "Long time no see pipsqueak, had fun in this tournament well you won't be playing any longer." 'God why is everyone so cliche in the universe like "pipsqueak", who says that.

"Can we get started before you embarrass yourself by saying another one liner like that." With a uncharacteristically red face "Fine then I'll trash you easily enough"

As both of us are raised up a dice is rolled where it is said that Zygor will go first. "I'll draw then I'll be activating my Mountain field spell to boost all my thunder, winged beast and dragon monsters and I'll be summoning my Bolt Escargot 1600/1700 in attack mode then I'll end my turn.

"Thats it? Ok my turn I draw and then I'll summon my Twin-Headed Fire Dragon then I'll set 2 cards and attack your Bolt Escargot, and I'll end my turn with that.

Zygor 2000--->1600 LP

"My turn I'll draw and I'll activate my Thunder Dragon discarding it to add 2 more Thunder Dragon's to my hand and then I'll play Polymerization fusing the 2 Thunder Dragon's in my hand into Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon 3200/2500. How about that now I'll attack your Twin-Headed Fire Dragon and end my turn.

Riku 2000--->800 LP

"Oh so you use fusions not bad but I'll draw and activate my Mask of Weakness on your Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon 3200/2500---> 2500/2500 lowering its attack by 700. Then I'll summon my Beast of Talwar 2400/2150 and then I'll activate my other set card Stim Pack to increase Beast of Talwars attack my 700 and I'll have my Beast of Talwar 3100/2150 attack your Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon.

Zygor 1600---> 1000

"I'll activate my Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon's effect stopping its destruction by battle." "It doesn't matter as I'll activate Fissure to destroy your Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon and deal you half of its attack points as damage ending this duel since you chose to use the fusion effect of Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon."

Zygor 1000--->0 LP

"What how did you predic me like that and you weren't surprised by my fusion summon, you must be cheating your looking at my card you have to be!" As he's saying that he's actively being dragged away by multiple security members of the regionals. I'll expose you for the cheater you are soon just wait I'll destroy you!"

"You know I feel like he could've handled that a whole lot easier, well good thing you guys are complete idiots." I turn around to see Aqua Mador and Shining Angel having a dance battle??? with Dream Clown being the referee and Beaver Warrior, Ancient Elf, and Magician of Faith being the judges.

"I don't think I've ever taken back a statement so quickly in my life before seeing that."

"What did you expect us to be all serious and dreary all the time? most of us are depressed you know just slightly hurt that most people over look us and more bored since most people can't see or hear us like you can." "I am almost regretting the fact that I learned I could speak and listen to you as all my peace is gone along with whatever is left of my sanity.

"Hey get down here or actually stay up there your next match will be shortly here in arena 2 so sit tight and wait." A ref brings me out of one of the most stupid things I've ever witnessed and knocks me out of my conversation. "Alright then I'll stay up here and wait for them."

"Hey do you actually regret seeing us and bonding with me" I again turn around to see a flushed Unhappy Maiden staring at me "One no you've all been quite good for me both as company and help in my duel and also how did you get drunk."

"Jowgan gave it to me he said it was some 'juice' that he made to celebrate all of your cards gain some semblance of a ego." "Ah so thats where he gets the Spirtualist in his name from."
