Chapter 45 Battle of warriors

 "I play my face down card, Negate Attack " Rinoa said

" I place 2 cards face down and end my turn " Jaden said

" Draw! " Rinoa yelled " I tribute Silent Magician LV4 with 5 spell counters to special summon Silent Magician LV8 "

" Next, I sacrifice Elemental Hero Ultima to summon Volcanic Queen " Rinoa said

" Argh... " Jaden groaned as Ultima was destroyed

" I activate Volcanic Queen's effect to destroy my face down card which I will activate now, Rush Recklessly " Rinoa said " It increase Silent Magician LV8's attack by 700 "

" Silent Magician LV8 attack Jaden directly! " Rinoa yelled

" Not me, but Elemental Hero Ultima " Jaden said as he activated one of his face down cards, Call Of The Haunted

" Grr... " Rinoa groaned " I end my turn "

" But before that I'll sacrifice Volcanic Queen or I will have to receive 1000LP damage " Rinoa said

" Draw! " Jaden yelled " I play Monster Reborn to summon Elemental Hero Neos "

" Next to summon my 2nd strongest fusion monster, I play my face down card, Future Vision " Jaden said " By sending Flare Scarab, Grand Mole from my deck and Polymerization from my hand to the graveyard, I summon Magma Neos "

" Magma Neos gains 400 attack points for each card on the field " Jaden said " Now Magma Neos attack Silent Magician LV8!"

Magma Neos ATK 4600, Silent Magician LV8 ATK 3500

" Rrr... " Rinoa groaned as her LP decreased from 2500 to 1400

" Finally, Ultima attack Queen Rinoa directly to end this duel! " Jaden yelled

Ultima ATK 5000

" AH! " Rinoa screamed as she lost all her LP

" That was a great duel! " Jaden said

" That sure was " Rinoa replied " Next, you'll have to duel King Cloud "

" Another? " Jaden asked

" Yes, he's the strongest among all of us " Rinoa answered " Wait here until he enters "

" No need to wait, I'm here already " Cloud said

" Why are you here? " Rinoa asked " Shouldn't you be waiting for me to call you? "

" I knew you would lose to Jaden " Cloud answered

" What?! " Rinoa screamed

" Squall's much stronger than you " Cloud said " If Jaden could beat Squall, it shouldn't be a problem for him to beat you too "

" Fine, whatever " Rinoa replied and left the room

" So, you prepared Jaden? " Cloud asked

" I'm always ready " Jaden answered

" Then, lets duel " both shouted

" I'll let you start " Cloud said

" Ok then, draw! " Jaden yelled " I play Polymerization to fuse Clayman and Burstinatrix to form Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster "

" I activate Rampart Blaster's effect to inflict 1000LP damage to your LP " Jaden said

" Grr.. " Cloud groaned as his LP decreased from 4000 to 3000

" I place 1 card face down and end my turn " Jaden said

" Draw! " Cloud yelled " I summon Masked Knight LV3 in attack mode "

" I activate Masked Knight LV3's effect to summon Masked Knight LV5 from my deck " Cloud said " But LV5 is not enough "

" What do you mean? " Jaden asked

" I play the spell card, Level Up! to summon Masked Knight LV7 from my deck " Cloud said " I activate Masked Knight LV7's effect to deal 1500LP damage to you "

" Grr.. " Jaden groaned as his LP decreased from 4000 to 2500

" Masked Knight LV7 attack Rampart Blaster! " Cloud yelled

Masked Knight LV7 ATK 2900, Rampart Blaster DEF 2500

" I activate my face down card, Hero Signal to summon Bubbleman from my deck " Jaden said " Bubbleman's effect allows me to draw 2 cards "

" I place 1 card face down and end my turn " Cloud said

" Draw! " Jaden shouted " I play Miracle Fusion to fuse Bubbleman with Clayman to form Mudballman in defense mode "

" I summon Dandylion in defense mode and end my turn " Jaden said

" Is that all you've got Jaden? " Cloud asked " You disappoint me "

" Draw! " Cloud yelled " I play Level Modulation "

" What does it do? " Jaden asked

" It allows you to draw 2 cards but I get to summon Masked Knight LV5 from my graveyard " Cloud answered

" And I sacrifice Masked Knight LV5 to summon Flame Swordsman " Cloud said " I play Polymerization to fuse Flame Swordsman with Dark Magician to form Dark Flare Knight "

" I activate Masked Knight LV7's effect to inflict another 1500LP to your LP " Cloud said

" Grr.. " Jaden groaned as his LP decreased from 2500 to 1000

" Dark Flare Knight attack Dandylion! " Cloud yelled

Dark Flare Knight ATK 2200, Dandylion DEF 300

" I activate Dandylion's effect to summon 2 Fluff tokens " Jaden said

" Masked Knight LV7 attack Mudballman! " Cloud shouted

" But it has less attack points than Mudballman's defense points " Jaden said

" That's why I'm playing my face down card, Reinforcement to increase Masked Knight LV7's attack points by 500 " Cloud replied

Masked Knight LV7 ATK 3400, Mudballman DEF 3000

" I end my turn " Cloud said

" Draw! " Jaden yelled " I sacrifice 2 Fluff tokens to summon Elemental Hero Bladedge "

" Bladedge attack Dark Flare Knight now! " Jaden shouted

Bladedge ATK 2600, Dark Flare Knight ATK 2200

" Grr.. " Cloud groaned as his LP decreased from 3000 to 2600

" Since Dark Flare Knight is destroyed, I can summon Mirage Knight from my deck " Cloud said

" I play Mystic Wok to increase my LP by 2600 by sacrificing Bladedge " Jaden said as his LP increased from 1000 to 3600

" I place 2 cards face down and end my turn " Jaden said

" Draw! " Cloud yelled " I activate Masked Knight LV7's effect "

" Not so fast, I activate my face down card, Ring Of Life " Jaden said " It destroys a monster and I gain LP equal to its defense points "

Jaden's LP increased his LP from 3600 to 5400

" I summon Silent Swordsman LV3 and I play Level Max! which allows me to summon Silent Swordsman LV7 " Cloud said

( Level Max! doesn't exist in real life or anime, I created it. Its effect is similar as Level Up! but it summons the highest level. )

" Now you won't be able to play any spell cards " Cloud said " Looks like you can't fusion summon anymore monsters "

" Mirage Knight attack Jaden directly! " Cloud yelled

Mirage Knight ATK 2800

" I can't play any spell cards but 1 trap card is enough for me to win this duel " Jaden said

" What?! " Cloud shrieked

" I play my face down card, Damage Interest! " Jaden yelled " I can only activate when your monster attacks me directly, you will receive twice the damage which I would've received "

" No! " Cloud screamed as his LP decreased to 0
