Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Battle Royale ❯ Surprises ( Chapter 10 )

Surprises, Surprises

Darren Coey walked down the aisle and crowds cheered

"Introducing Darren Coey!"

Kiaba looked up

"Well look who it is. Nicola smiled

"I always wanted to face this guy. One on one"

Nicola drew her card as Darren prepared his deck and his disk.

"I'll summon another Armoured Zombie in attack mode and one card face down"

Bakura drew his card

"Perfect, Spirit letter I and I'll place my Headless Knight in defence mode"

Kiaba was surprised

`He may actually do it'

Darren looked at Bakura

"I take it Kiaba is your target?"

"You bet"

"Well I want him to stick around so I can finish him myself. I play De-spell to destroy your Destiny Board"

The board over his head was destroyed and he glared at Darren.

"And I will summon the Dark Fire Soldier in attack mode and Stop defence on Bakura's face down monster"

Bakura's Earthbound Spirit was place into attack mode

"Darkfire Soldier, take him down!"

Darren's monster easily wiped out Bakura's monster and his life points dropped to 800. Kiaba drew his card

"Rogue Doll will be sacrificed so I summon Swordstalker, take out Nicola's Armoured Zombie!"

Kiaba's monster wiped out Nicola's monster and her life points dropped 1200. She drew her card

"I will sacrifice my second Armoured Zombie to summon the Shadow Ghoul!"

Everyone was stunned

"How many monsters did she put in there?"

Nicola smiled

"9 by my count. Attack Kiaba's Swordstalker!"

Kiaba's monster was blown to pieces by the shadow Ghoul and his life points dropped to 1200. Darren looked at Kiaba

"And Kiaba, when it's my turn, you are history!"

Bakura drew his card

"Octiclops in attack mode!"

Darren drew his card

"Kiaba, you are history. Monster Reborn to summon…Your Blue Eyes!"

Kiaba's own monster roared and he looked at Kiaba

"You creep!"

"Blue Eyes, take that man to hell!"

The Blue Eyes fired it attack and Kiaba was sent on his back. He stood up and he was seething at Darren. Darren just smiled

"This is not over. Do you understand me?"

"You know where to find me"

Kiaba walked off and Nicola drew her card

"I now play the Dark Magic Curtain which lets me summon a high level monster from my deck with a cost of half my life points. Dark Necromancer appear!"

Nicola's strongest monster appeared on the field and her life points dropped to 600.

"First I play Cheerful Coffin which lets me discard three card from my hand and my monsters attack powers increases to 2700. Shadow Ghoul, take out Octiclops!"

Nicola's monster shattered Bakura's monster and his life points hit zero. Bakura walked off. Nicola smiled

"Alone at last"

"A match long overdue"

Darren drew his card

"Well since I have Blue eyes on the field I could easily take you down, but I want to play this match out. I'll summon Giga Tech Wolf in attack mode and one card face down"

Nicola drew her card and she smiled

"I'll use the effect of my Dark Magic Curtain to summon the mighty Undertaker!"

Nicola's monster appeared on the field again with the attack power of 3100. Darren was stunned

"No way!"

Nicola's life points dropped to 300

"I wont show mercy Darren and you shouldn't either. Undertaker, take out his Blue eyes!"

Nicola's monster sliced down Darren's Blue Eyes and his life points dropped to 1900. Darren looked at the Dark Magic Curtain

"Isn't that effect open you both of us?"

Nicola nodded reluctantly

"Perfect, Tyrant Dragon appear!"

Darren's strongest monster appeared on the field and he laughed

"Darren, reality check, my monster is stronger"

"But what if I did this, little Chimera in defence mode"

Darren's monster's attack points rose to 3400

"Now who's stronger? And on the topic of mercy. I show none to enemies, but to opponents like you. It is honourable to do so. Attack Tyrant Dragon!"

Nicola's monster was burnt to a cinder and her life points dropped to 0. Nicola smiled

"I want a rematch"

"Granted, now get off the field"

Nicola walked off as Darren waited for his next opponent. The crowds counted down

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3… ;2…1"

Mai Valentine walked down the aisle and Darren smiled

"Things are getting…hot"

Mai readied herself and she drew her cards

"Harpy Lady in attack mode"

Darren was totally shocked but he smiled

"Mai, think about what your doing"

"Don't you worry sugar, I got this one planned out well. I play Shadow of Eyes"

"On…"

"Your Chimera. I'll place two card face down as well. Attack his Chimera, Harpy Lady!"

Mai's monster slashed down Darren's monster and his life points dropped to 1100.

"My Dragon is still stronger and my other monsters can finish you. Tyrant Dragon attack!"

Mai shook her head as the attack was deflected back at Darren's monster and its attack points were cut in half

"What?"

Mai smiled

"Now there's an Amateur mistake if I ever saw one. Mirror wall. I'll equip my monster with the Rose Whip. Destroy his Dragon now!"

Mai's monster slashed its whip at Darren's monster and it was wiped out and his life points dropped to 650. Darren was getting frustrated as he drew again

"I'll sacrifice my Giga Tech Wolf to summon Flame Cerberus in attack mode!"

Mai smiled

"Not much you can do now is there. Harpies Brother in attack mode"

The crowds counted down

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3… ;2…1"

Stephen Reynolds walked down the aisle and Darren was pleased

"Stephen, good to see you"

"Hey Darren. Since I'm going for the win, our alliance goes out the window"

"What?"

"Come on, Darren. You know its everyman for themselves and because of my recent success I could win this time. I'll help you get rid of Mai first."

He drew his card

"Spear Dragon in attack mode and once card face down."

Darren drew his card

"I'll summon the UFO Turtle in defence mode and I'll attack Stephen's Spear Dragon!"

Darren's monster slashed down Reynolds monster and his life points dropped to 1800. Stephen smiled and Darren shrugged. Mai drew her card

"Ok boys. I'm going back on the offensive. Elegant Egotist!"

Mai's Harpy Lady was multiplied into three

"Attack Darren's Flame Cerberus"

Darren's monster was slashed down and his life points dropped to 300. Darren was livid but Stephen smiled

"Giant Trunade!"

Mai's Mirror Force returned to her hand and she looked at Darren's eyes

"I play Shallow Grave and the Stop Defence to bring back my Tyrant Dragon in defence mode but it will be placed into attack mode."

His monster roared and Mai was stunned

"Tyrant Dragon, finish her Harpies Brother!"

Her monster was burnt to a crisp and her life points dropped to 900. Mai smiled

"I have another life line"

"Nope, sorry. Tyrant Dragon, take out her Harpy ladies Sisters"

His monster again wiped out her Harpies and Mai was horrified

"But how?"

"My monsters special ability means I can attack twice if my opponent has more than one monster on the field. But I'm still not done"

Darren looked at his Darkfire Soldier

"Finish her!"

Mai was struck down by Darren's monster and he smiled. Mai walked off as Darren turned to Stephen

"Well you want this? You got it, be careful what you wish for next time."

Reynolds drew his card

"I will summon Koumori Dragon in attack mode and one card face down. I'll play Dragon's Rage"

"Huh?"

"Attack his face down monster card!"

Stephen's monster burned the card and his life points dropped to 0

"What!!"

Stephen smiled

"Dragon's rage takes off the difference between the attack and defence points off your life points"

Darren was incredibly angry but he smiled

"Stephen, you were right. This match was everyman for themselves. You were right"

He walked off and Stephen nodded. The crowds counted down

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3… ;2…1"

Michael Kernaghan walked down the aisle and the crowds jumped to their feet.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Michael Kernaghan!"

Michael took his place on the field and he readied his disk

"Ok Stephen, you are finished"

He drew his card

"I'll summon La Jinn in attack mode and two cards face down"

Reynolds drew his card

"I'll summon Cave Dragon in attack mode"

Michael smiled and his monster fell into a hole"

"What?"

"Trap hole"

"Oh well. Attack his La Jinn, Spear Dragon!"

Michael's monster was destroyed and his life points dropped to 1900. Michael smiled and he revealed another card

"Last Will. It lets me summon a monster with 1500 attack points or less to the field. I choose the Witches Apprentice in defence mode and then I summon the Man Eating Treasure Chest and I will attack your Spear Dragon!"

Stephen's monster was destroyed and his life points dropped to 1800.

"And I'll place a card face down to finish up"

Stephen drew his card

"Good plan in theory, but you didn't count on this. I will sacrifice my Koumori Dragon to summon the Curse of Dragon"

"No!"

"And since he is a Dark Monster your effect has backfired on you. Attack, his Treasure Chest!"

Michael's monster was destroyed and his life points dropped to 1500. Michael drew again and he smiled

"I will sacrifice my monster to summon the Swordstalker in attack mode"

"Matching attack points. Got any other bright ideas?"

"Thanks for the inspiration. Metal Morph!"

Michael's monster got armour placed on it and its attack power rose to 2400 and further to 3400

"What!"

Michael smiled

"Its attack power increases my 400 then further by half the attack points of my target. And I'm not done. You are finished Stephen. I equip my monster with the Sword of Dark Destruction to increase his attack power to 3800! Attack Swordstalker!"

Michael's monster sliced down Reynolds monster and his life points vanished to 0. He walked off the field and the crowds

The crowds counted down

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3… ;2…1"

Joey Wheeler walked down the aisle

"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Joey Wheeler"

Michael rolled his eyes as Joey took his place

"Wheeler, go home. This is no place for a dog like you"

Joey drew his card

"Eternal Rest"

Michael freaked as his monster was destroyed

"Monster Reborn your Swordstalker and I'll sacrifice him to Summon Jinzo!"

Joey's strongest monster appeared on the field and Michael was frozen

"Jinzo, take him out!"

Michael was knocked off his feet from the direct attack

"Wheeler!"

"Who's the dog now, huh hotshot!"

"This is not over Wheeler. Mark my words"

"Consider them marked, now get out of here!"

Michael walked off and the Crowds counted down

The crowds counted down

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3… ;2…1"

Yugi walked down the aisle and the crowds cheered

"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Yugi Motto"

Yugi took his place on the field and he smiled at Joey

"Well Joey, that was impressive"

Michael was watching the match with the others

"What a cheat. He probably fixed his deck"

Keith came up behind him

"They were shuffled by officials. You just can't take it"

Michael turned to him and he grabbed his coat

"You listen! I am a champion duellist and I got knocked out by an amateur. Come to think of it, didn't that dog beat you in duellist Kingdom?"

Keith remembered

"Damn dog!"

Yugi drew his card

"I'll place a card face down in defence mode and two cards face down"

Wheeler was about to draw

"Joey, stop there. I play Time Seal!"

Joey couldn't draw

"I'll place a card face down and I'll summon Gearfried the Iron Knight"

Yugi smiled and Joey's monster fell into a hole

"Trap Hole Joey"

"Oh man. I'll just make Jinzo attack your face down monster!"

Jinzo wiped out the card and it was the Wall of Illusion. Jinzo was returned to Joey's hand

"Oh man"

"And now I summon Neo and Magic Swordsman."

"Hold on there, Yugi"

Yugi saw a Grave robber on the field holding the Trap Hole card"

"Oh no!"

Yugi's monster was sent into a hole but he smiled

"That was a great move Joey"

The crowds counted down

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3… ;2…1"

Tea walked down the aisle, obviously nervous. Michael smiled as he watched

"Take out Wheeler"

"This should be fun"

Michael looked at Kiaba, noticing the sarcasm in his voice

"This will just be a stalling game. They won't attack each other for fear of losing their friendship. Set your watches boys, this will take a while"

Tea drew her card

"Spirit of the Harp in attack mode and I'll play Bait Doll to force Joey's face down card to activate"

Shield and Sword appeared and Tea smiled

"Alright. Even better"

Her monsters attack power rose to 2000. He looked at Joey and Yugi

"Who shall I take out first?"

Joey looked at her

"Take me Tea"

Yugi looked at him

"No Joey, you could go on and win this"

"No Yugi. I knocked out a favourite and I'm done for now. Tea come at me"

She nodded and her monster struck Joey down and Yugi wasn't happy. Joey's life points dropped to 0 and Tea regretted what she did

"I'm sorry Yugi"

He looked at Joey and then at Tea

"Its alright. This is a game in which players must fight for themselves. I'll now summon Celtic Guardian in attack mode. Attack her Spirit of Harp now!"

Tea's monster was split into two and her life points dropped to 1400.

"I'll summon Maha Vailo in attack mode and I'll place a card face down. Take down his Celtic Guardian!"

Tea's monster destroyed Yugi's monster and his life points dropped to 1850. Yugi drew

"Change of Heart!"

"NO"

Michael was stunned

"How did he draw that!"

Tea's monster came to Yugi's side

"I'll now sacrifice this monster to summon Curse of Dragon!"

Yugi's monster roared as it appeared on the field and Tea knew she was finished

"Curse of Dragon, destroy her life points now!"

Tea was struck head on by the fire attack and her life points dropped to 0. Yugi smiled

"You put up a great fight Tea"

She smiled and walked to the back as the last competitor was about to enter. The crowds counted down

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3… ;2…1"

Robin walked down the aisle

"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Robin Kernaghan"

She took her place on the field and drew her cards

"This is going to be great"

"I agree"

Robin drew her card

"Revival Jam in defence mode and the Jam Defender to target all your attacks to my monster"

"I know what it does. I have came across this monster before"

Yugi drew

"Beaver Warrior in defence mode"

"I summon the Red Archery Girl in attack mode and I'll play the Legendary Ocean to downgrade all my monsters by 1 star. And one card face down"

Michael smiled

"I know her strategy. She has Regulation of the Tribe waiting"

Yugi drew as Kiaba looked at Michael

"But that won't work against Yugi. His deck is all over the place unlike yours"

Michael frowned

"I will summon the Dragon Zombie in attack mode to take out that Archery Girl!"

Yugi's monster destroyed Robin's Revival Jam instead and it simply reformed itself

"Oh yes. I forgot about that"

Robin smiled

"I summon Catapult Turtle in attack mode and I'll sacrifice my Archery Girl to take off 700 life points off you Yugi!"

Robin's monster was fired at Yugi and his life points hit 1300. Yugi drew

"I'll now sacrifice my monsters to summon the Dark Magician!"

Robin was stunned but she relaxed remembering Jam Defender

"Curse of Dragon, take out the Revival Jam!"

Yugi's monster wiped out Robin's monster

"Dark Magician, take out her Catapult now!"

Yugi's monster fired its attack and destroyed Robin's monster dropping her life points to 700.

"What!"

"Your Revival Jam can only reform after the turn in which it was destroyed"

Her monster reformed as they spoke

"So I could easily attack twice"

Robin drew her card

"Perfect. Regulation of the Tribe!"

"Oh no!"

"I'll then summon my Island Turtle and sacrifice it to keep my card in play"

Yugi drew his card

`Witty Phantom. I can't do anything with this.'

"I play Witty Phantom in defence mode and my other monsters will be placed into defence mode as well. And one card face down"

Robin laughed

"I now play Monster Reborn to revive my Island Turtle then I summon Water Omotics. I'll sacrifice my Island Turtle again then I sacrifice both my monsters with the help of the magic card, Turtle Oath to summon Crab Turtle!"

A huge crab appeared on the field and Yugi was stunned

"And since you can't attack I'll do it for you. Attack his Dark Magician now!"

Yugi's monster was slashed to pieces and Robin laughed. Yugi drew again

"I place one card face down then I play Dark Hole!"

"No!"

Everyone else was stunned as all the monsters on the field were destroyed

"And now I summon Mammoth Graveyard. Attack her life points now!"

Robin was knocked over by the hit of Yugi's monster and her life points dropped to 0. Yugi smiled as the crowds cheered

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Battle Royal champion. Yugi Motto!"

The Crowds cheered wildly and Michael walked off from the back room, furious and Kiaba wasn't happy about it either. He too walked off. Yugi walked out back where Joey and Tea hugged him

"That was great Yugi"

Nicola walked off but Darren walked after her. She walked out unto the streets but Darren shouted to her

"Nicola you owe me a rematch!"

Michael had just sat down at the local coffee shop. Nicola turned to face him

"Very well Darren. You rematch is granted"
