Episode 8: drownYOURdeath

I walked up the steps to Rain’s huge table, looking at his child like face. Picking up my opening hand, I pondered my mind as to how the Government came across a kid like him.

“I hope you don’t mind me starting…” He queried rhetorically, not looking for an answer. “I play Aqua Hulcus into my mana, then summon Aqua Guard!” A very common Blue move.

I silently drew my first card, and instantly placed it into the Mana Zone. I gave him a look. He knew it was his turn.

Rain put another card into his growing Mana Zone, and ended with an untapped Aqua Guard.

“You’re the same as ever, not letting any hint of your next move…” he smiled at my half-compliment, even though I didn’t mean it that way.

“That is why we’re the only S-Ranked duelists, we’re the best.”

“You may be the same rank as me, but you’re still young and naïve. You know nothing.” Now he was mad, but it was funny. I drew my next card, watching his eyes lock on me coldly. “I put Abzo Dolba into my Mana Zone, and summon Pierre, Psycho Doll!” I was weaving my web, but knowing him, he could dowse it easily at the moment. “Go.” I said, gesturing at him.

“I add this to my mana, and summon Aqua Hulcus. Then I can draw a card.” He looked at his card, and showed no emotion as ever. “Your turn.” We were each building up to something big, with no attacks made, it was gonna be a boom to remember.

Picking up my next card, I mana’d and used what was now three mana to summon two Bone Marrow’s from my hand. I was ready for whatever he was going to throw at me next.

After increasing his mana count to four, but he didn’t attack with Aqua Hulcus.

“I pay two mana to play the Cross Gear Invisible Suit! Then I pay my remaing mana to Cross it to my Aqua Hulcus!” His rank wasn’t for nothing after all… “Now Aqua Hulcus, Ike!”

He turned the Crossed Hulcus on it’s side, and my shield simply exploded up into the air due to Rain’s spirit power. This proved that this is a battle of the highest caliber.

I caught my card on it’s way back down. Bingo.

“Shield Trigger! Proclamation Of Death!” Rain flinched. “Choose one of your creatures to kill…” He reluctantly picked up his Aqua Hulcus and placed it into his graveyard. At least he still has his precious Aqua Guard. But now it was my turn.

I drew my card.

“I put Terror Pit in mana, boosting me up to four also!” I tapped all of my mana “Summon creature! Necrodragon Giland!” A bad look came over Rain’s face. This was an incredibly powerful Zombie Dragon for a mere four mana. But Rain knew my deck and he knew that my turn was over.

Rain quickly mana’d another Aqua Guard and then started to smile after looking at his hand. “Now you will not be able to attack until this game gets really started.” This is what happens when you put two S-ranks in a duel together, the game doesn’t get really started until around the sixth or seventh turn. But with Rain as a blocker specialist, this could last much longer. “I use two mana to play two more Aqua guards!”

Told’ya

I drew, mana’d and laughed. It’s a shame he thinks he can slow this duel down. Sorry. Not my style. Im going to take those blockers out even if it’s one by one, and that’s all four of his annoying, one-cost Aqua Guards.

“I cast the spell, Hopeless Vortex! Kill Aqua Guard!” Rain shrugged it off. I would too, but he obviously was still being naïve and ignoring my slowly growing army of Zombie Dragons.

Vale stood on the sidelines, watching in awe. It was a rare sight to see the only two S-Class’ battle, it had only happened in front of other people about a couple of times before.

It was Rain’s Turn. He had seven mana loaded. I knew what was coming next. I already had Abzo Dolba on the field, now his trump was coming.

“Let nostalgia and fear mix in your head, Seikei…” I scoffed at his attempt to shake me.

“Get on with it.”

“Fine, I summon Change The World, Blue Divine Dragon!” Huge spirit power flooded the room as he slammed the card onto his table. His surge took place. He discarded his entire hand, moved all his shields to his hand, and set five new shields onto the field.

Boom.
