Description
The next day the guys were all up bright and early for some good action. Eager to get some time in, Donovan left as soon as he woke up. The others did the same. Jess and Jay went onto the streets searching. Jakke was searching in the stadium. And Hade went back to the duel club. Along with a secret watcher...
After a while dueling and defeating 4 other duelists in the tournament, Hade decided to take a break and go to the bar. "What can I do for ya?" asked the bartender.
"I'll have some red wine." Hade said.
"Alright. How about you kid?" he asked the girl that sat down next to Hade.
"Same thing." she replied.
"If you can take it." said the bartender jokingly. He proceeded into the back for the wine. After he came back and gave them the wine, he left to help some other people.
"So, I saw you dueling out there," she said reaching for her glass. Her sleeve pulled back to reveal a lit-up bracelet to prove you were still in the tournament, "My name is Maria, and yours?"
"Hade. Nice to meet you but I'm taking a break right now." And Hade moved to where his shoulder blocked out his face from her view. "Sorry, you'll have to try once I'm drunk."
"Okay," said Maria suspiciously, "Well will you at least watch me duel? It would be an honor."
"Fine, but I'm still gonna drink. Who you thinking about dueling?" Hade asked. He then noticed a kid looking nervous and saw the glow under his sleeve. "Hey, stoner guy!" The kid actually looked over at Hade. "Oh wow, that actually worked. Can you come here real quick?"
"Uh, sure," he said, "what is it?"
"This girl was looking for someone to duel and you were the first I noticed, how about it?"
"I-I-I dunno. I j-just got h-here."
"Relax kid, I'll buy you a beer. Can you please get to dueling. I want to get out of here as much as you"
"Fine, c'mon let's get dueling. The name's Flint." They went on to the center stage. "Ladies first?"
"What? You trying to be chivalrous or something?" Maria had a face that did not say serious at all. "Fine, I will, I draw! I summon Evolsaur Diplo!" Then a purple dinosaur with a rather large neck and horns all the way up. "Now I play a face-down and end my turn."
"Well, you s-seem to be confident. But let's see how far confidence goes against fate. I draw. I summon Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude!" A man with a ragged leather cape and giant diamonds sticking from his back and arms dropped onto the field. "Now I use his ability to flip the top card of my deck. If its a normal spell I get to use it next turn. If not, then it goes to the bottom." He flipped the card. "Misfortune,which is a normal Spell. I play two cards face-down and equip Diamond Dude with Ribbon of Rebirth" Then, Diamond Dude was wrapped with a glowing blue ribbon. "Your move."
"I draw. I activate the continuous Spell, Evo-Price. Now when a monster is Special Summoned by the effect of an Evoltile monster, I can destroy a card on the field. Next, I activate my face-down, Dust Tornado. With its effect I destroy your first face-down, on the left!" Then a large tornado appeared from nowhere and destroyed the face-down card, and vanished without touching anything else. "Now I summon another Evolsaur Diplo. Next, I overlay my 2 Level 4 Evolsaur Diplo to Xyz Summon, Evolzar Laggia!!" The two purple dinosaurs turned into bright red lights and shot into the air, into a green vortex. Then a large blue dragon with red eyes and line patterns. Over it's skin ran the binary patterns, many zeros and ones. Two small fireballs also orbited around it's giant body.
"Th-th-that's a r-r-really b-big d-dragon." said Flint.
"Yeah it is. Now you get to feel his wrath. Attack!!" The giant dragon flapped all six of it's wings and a wave of flames shot towards Diamond Dude, and he burst into flames lowering Flint's Life Points to 3000. The ribbon then started shining mysteriously. Overhead a large D was shining in the sky. "What is that?"
"The Destiny Signal, you destroyed one of my monsters I get to special summon a Destiny Hero monster from my deck. I summon another Diamond Dude."
"I use Laggia's effect. By detaching both Xyz Material, I can negate that Special Summon. And end my turn" Maria said triumphantly.
"As if it matters. Due to Ribbon of Rebirth's effect, I get my other Diamond Dude back. I draw," Flint said confidently, "and due to the effect of Diamond Dude, I get to use Misfortune now, to deal damage to you equal to half of Laggia's attack" The fire encircling Laggia then shot out towards Maria in a very violent manner. Lowering her Life Points to 2800. "Now I activate the Spell Card, Back to Square One. By discarding a card, I can send a card on your field to the top of your deck. I discard Destiny Hero - Blade Master to return Laggia to your Extra Deck. Now I summon Destiny Hero - Doom Lord!!" Then, a man in black armor and clothes with a blood red cape appeared next to Diamond Dude. "Now I attack you directly with both!" Diamond Dude attacked Maria, stabbing her with a pointy diamond on his hand. And Doom Lord impaled her with his claw gauntlet. Maria had 1800 Life Points left. "I end my turn"
"I draw. I summon Evoltile Odonto," A small turtle like reptile appeared on the field, "With his effect, I can Special Summon an Evolsaur from my hand. I Special Summon Evolsaur Elias!" Then, a dinosaur similar to Diplo appeared, only it was larger and yellow. "Now with Evo-Price, I destroy Diamond Dude" Then, a large flame shot from Evoltile Odonto and engulfed Diamond Dude to destroy him. "Next, with Elias' effect, I can Special Summon a second one from my hand. Next I Overlay my two Level 6 Evolsaur Elias to Xyz Summon Evolzar Solda!!" Then, in the same fashion as before, the dinosaurs launched up as red lights and emerged an even larger and darker blue dragon than Laggia. "Next I activate Rush Recklessly, giving Odonto 700 extra Attack Points." Then, the small turtle's eyes started to glow a fiery red. "I attack Doom Lord with Solda." The large dragon then raised it's arm and shot a blazing inferno at Doom Lord. Flint had 1000 Life Points left. "Now I'll finish you off with Odonto. Attack!!!" The small turtle rushed forward and bit Flint on the leg, finishing him off.
"Alright kid, get up and take your beer" Hade said, walking up with a mug in his hand. Flint stood up and his bracelet changed from blue to red to indicate he lost.
"Really wish I could've been in the tournament longer" Flint said readily accepting the alcohol and walking off without another word.
"So how did I do?" Maria asked Hade when they sat back down at the bar.
"Pretty good to be honest," Hade said looking away, "Good enough for me to save you for the finals" He turned and gave her a thumbs up.
"What?" she asked.
"Naturally I only want people that I like to be in the final 16 of the tournament," Hade explained, "So I won't duel you today, but I will then" Maria just looked at him with a blank face, which turned into a smile.
"Agreed!" she said, returning the thumbs up.
"Anyway, I've gotta meet up with some friends of mine, I'll catch ya later though" Hade said as he left the bar. Though as he left he felt weird, it was the same feeling he had when he was dueling Stranger in the Regional. He pulled a card out of his pocket and looked at it as he walked.
"Hey, Hade!" shouted a familiar voice. He turned to see that it was Jay, returning from his search for duelists, "Wassup man, how many have you knocked out today?"
"Only four, they were all weak," He said looking back at his card.
"What's that card? Some crazy Zombie monster?" Jay asked.
"You could say that," Hade said as he put the card back in his pocket, "What's your count on wins?"
"Only six, I still need to beat another person for my goal of seven a day"
"Then how about dueling me?" asked a voice from ahead of them. It was a man with spiked orange hair and an out fit to match. "The name's Mac, and I too am one away from my daily goal"
"Heh, fine by me," Jay said activating his duel disk, "Get your game on!"
