Chapter 52 - CH 51: Engaged?

"I'll go first, binky boy. Also, don't worry, I won't use my ace monster, Serpent Night Dragon. You're not worthy." Ali said, drawing five cards and another one right after :"First things first, I'll summon Vanguard of the Dragon in attack position.

[Vanguard of the Dragon: Dragon/ Effect/ Earth/ Lv 4/ 1,700 ATK/ 1,300 DEF

Effect(s): You can send 1 Dragon monster from your hand to the GY; this card gains 300 ATK. When this card you control is sent to your GY by an opponent's card effect: You can target 1 Dragon Normal Monster in either GY; Special Summon that target.]

And I activate his effect. It allows me to discard one dragon-type monster to raise its ATK by 300. And I choose to discard Kidmodo Dragon!

[Kidmodo Dragon: Dragon/ Effect/ Earth/ Lv 3/ 100 ATK/ 200 DEF

Effect(s): If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand. You cannot Special Summon monsters, except Dragon-Type monsters, nor conduct your Battle Phase, the turn you activate this effect. (You can only use this effect of "Kidmodo Dragon" once per turn.)]

(A/N: If a part in card effects is in these (), it means that's how it is but doesn't exist in the fic.)

And in case you didn't know, if Kidmodo Dragon is sent to the graveyard, it allows me to special summon a dragon-type monster from my hand. And I choose to summon Genesis Dragon!

[Genesis Dragon: Dragon/ Effect/ Light/ Lv 6/ 2,200 ATK/ 1,800 DEF

Effect(s): Once per turn, you can send 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to add 1 Dragon-Type monster from your Graveyard to your hand. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can return all Dragon-Type monsters from your Graveyard to your Deck.]

And I choose to activate its effect, which allows me to switch a monster in the graveyard with one in my hand. And I choose to bring back Kidmodo Dragon by sending Carboneddon to the graveyard!

[Carboneddon: Dragon (Dinosaur)/ Effect/ Earth/ Lv 3/ 800 ATK/ 600 DEF

Effect(s): If this card battles a FIRE monster, during damage calculation: This card gains 1000 ATK during damage calculation only. You can banish this card from your GY; Special Summon, from your hand or Deck, 1 Level 8 (7) or lower Dragon (Normal) Monster in face-up Defense Position. You can only use this effect of "Carboneddon" once per turn.]

But Kidmodo Dragon won't be staying for long. You know why? Because I choose to activate Vanguard of the Dragon's effect and send it to the graveyard again! Which not only raises my monster's ATK points to 2,300, but also allows me to special summon another dragon! And I choose to summon Prime Material Dragon!

[Prime Material Dragon: Dragon/ Effect/ Light/ Lv 6/ 2,400 ATK/ 2,000 DEF

Effect(s): Any effect that would inflict damage to a player increases their Life Points by the same amount, instead. During either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated that would destroy a monster(s) on the field: You can send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.]

I would have ended my turn with how awesome my field is looking, but unfortunately for you, I've still got more! I activate Carboneddon's effect! By banishing it, I can special summon a Lv 8 or lower dragon-type monster from my deck in defense position. And I choose to summon White Night Dragon!

[White Night Dragon: Dragon/ Effect/ Water/ Lv 8/ 3,000 ATK/ 2,500 DEF

Effect(s): During either player's turn, when a Spell/Trap Card that targets this card is activated: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. When another face-up monster you control is targeted for an attack: You can send 1 Spell/Trap Card you control to the Graveyard; change the attack target to this card.]

Then I set a card and finally end my turn. So? How do you like my field, binky boy? Wanna give my monsters a hug? Hahaha, let's see what you will do." As he finally finished, the entire place was silent. Once again, Ali had shocked them with how many monsters he could summon. Not low level ones either, but ones that they would need several turns to summon.

Especially poor Harrington. He had thought the rumors were exaggerated! And even if they weren't, he'd still be able to kick the punk's ass. Yet right off the bat, the noiret went and summoned 4 monsters, almost filling out his field! And all of them were monsters with ATK points of over 2,000!

Specifically, White Night Dragon with 3,000 ATK, Prime Material Dragon with 2,400 ATK, Vanguard of the Dragon with 2,300 ATK, and Genesis Dragon with 2,200 ATK. He didn't know how he was going to turn the duel around, but he was sure he could win somehow!

Jasmine :"God damn, Ali really did all that in a single turn... he really is one hell of a duelist."

Mindy :"Poor, poor Harrington... what's that cutie gonna do now?"

Jasmine, smirking :"I bet Alexis is happy."

"Ugh, quit it already." Alexis glared, but didn't take her attention off of the game. Jasmine was right about Ali, he really did amaze her. His cards weren't the only amazing things, his strategies were top notch too. She was sure that more than 90% of the people on this island wouldn't be able to pull off what he did even if they had his deck. And he didn't even bother bringing out his ace monster. Seems like she wouldn't get a chance to see how good Harrington was.

"My turn!" Glaring at the noiret, Harrington drew a card before smirking :"Serve, first I'm gonna volley a spell card at you! Service Ace!

[Service Ace: Normal Spell

Effect(s): Select 1 card in your hand. Your opponent must guess whether it is a Spell, Trap or Monster Card. Reveal it to your opponent. If they guessed wrong, inflict 1500 damage to your opponent. Remove from play the selected card when this card resolves.]

Here's how it works. I pick a card, then you have to choose if it's a spell, trap or monster. If you guess right, you're fine. But if you guess wrong, well then, you get served with a stinging 1,500 points of damage! Go ahead, choose!"

"Sure, I'll roll with it." Ali smirked, looking quite forward to wiping off that smirk on Harrington's face. And actually, he had a few ways of doing so. "(Red Eyes.)" He chuckled internally, as did Red Eyes :"(On it, boss.)" The next second, a mini version of Red Eyes Retro Dragon came out of him and flew towards the athlete :"(Boss, it's a monster! And you honestly won't believe what it is...)"

Ali :"(Hm? Why, is it something strong?)"

Red Eyes :"(Uh, not exactly.... you'll know when he plays it...)"

"(Alright, whatever.)" He dismissed before smirking :"It's a spell card." Honestly, he would have said the correct answer, but he didn't want to ruin the better way to mess with that simp. And besides, better to make them fall when they've just gotten happy. As expected, Harrington of course got excited :"Wrong, it's a monster card!" Smiling smugly, mockingly at Ali.

But honestly, he just confused him when he showed him the monster :"Mega Thunderball...? You have freaking Mega Thunderball in your deck?!" Ali gaped in shock :"Fucking Mega Thunderball?!" In shock, he turned to his best pal :"Zane?! Are you sure you've heard the right rumors? Someone with freaking Mega Thunderball is at your level?!"

[Mega Thunderball: Thunder/ Normal/ Wind/ Lv 2/ 750 ATK/ 600 DEF]

"..." Even Zane was speechless as he looked at the card :"That's... what the rumors said... unless there is more than one Harrington Rosewood in this island, I think they should be talking about him. But... Mega Thunderball...? Really?"

"Bro, I just did all of that, special summoned all these monsters, just for you to pull out Mega Thunderball?" Ali scrunched up his face in disgust :"You're even worse than I thought. And that's saying something, because I really thought some bad things!"

"Hey, fuck off! It has nothing to do with you what cards I put in my deck!" Harrington shouted, face red with anger and shame. He really didn't expect to get this much hate because of a single card. But soon, he smirked :"Also, that's not what you should be caring about. What you should be caring about is my Service Ace! Because you chose the wrong card type, you'll take 1,500 points of damage! Good luck returning this shot, pal!"

"Thanks, but I'm not your pal." The noiret scoffed as the shot hit him, making Harrington smile :"15-love! Oh yeah!" But seeing that Ali's LP not only hadn't been reduced, but had increased instead, his eyes went wide :"Wait, what?! Why did your Life Points go up instead?!"

"Obviously, because of a monster effect." Ali snickered, pointing at his golden dragon :"You see, Prime Material Dragon's effect makes it so any effect that would inflict damage to a player increases their Life Points instead! So instead of 1,500 points of damage, I gain 1,500 Life Points instead. Thanks for the boost, binky boy."

Ali Ashborne LP: 4,000 -> 5,500

Harrington Rosewood LP: 4,000

"Grr whatever. I'll win this duel anyway! I'll place this card to finish. Your serve." Setting down a card, he passed the turn to Ali. Who took it with a smirk :"Sorry, but this duel will end with this turn. I draw. I activate the spell card, Stamping Destruction, which allows me to destroy one spell or trap card on the field, and deal 500 points of damage to its controller's Life Points! Say bye bye to your little trap."

[Stamping Destruction: Normal Spell

Effect(s): If you control a Dragon monster: Target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; destroy that target, and if you do, inflict 500 damage to its controller.]

"No, my trap card!" Seeing his trap card, Receive Ace, being blown to pieces, Harrington gritted his teeth in denial :"The duel still isn't over! I can still turn it around and win!"

[Receive Ace: Normal Trap

Effect(s): Activate only when an opponent's monster declares a direct attack. Negate the attack, and inflict 1500 damage to your opponent. Then, send the top 3 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard.]

"I think you have Alzheimer's, because you seem to have forgotten your place." Ali chuckled, before pointing at Harrington :"Now, let's finish this duel already! Attack!" As he ordered, all of his monsters obeyed :"As you command, master!" Before attacking all at once. As the captain of the tennis team cried out in nonexistent pain, his Life Points came down all the way to zero.

Ali Ashborne LP: 5,500

Harrington Rosewood LP: 0

Jasmine :"Well, that settles that!"

Mindy :"Alright! Seems like you'll be getting married, Lexy! Oh I love weddings."

As Alexis chuckled awkwardly, Harrington fell to his knees, a look of disbelief on his face :"No, this can't be!" Ali on the other hand, was as nonchalant as ever :"Well guess what, it can be, and it did be. By the way, I don't think I need to say this, but you're not invited to the wedding."

"But she was my soulmate!" Harrington cried out, literally, as he stood up :"My marky girlfriend! Waaah!" Crying, he stormed out of the cafeteria with everyone watching the weirdo. "Well, that happened." Ali shrugged, before walking back to the group :"I'm done. It wasn't even entertaining. I feel stupid for tiring myself out by summoning that many monsters."

Zane :"Yeah, you didn't even break a sweat."

Jasmine :"Why would dueling make you sweat?"

Ali :"Clearly you have never played Dark Magician Girl before."

Jasmine :"What does that mean- wait, you have Dark Magician Girl?!"

Ali :"Dark Magician Girl, Dark Magician, Silent Magician, Dark Magician of Chaos, and about every card related to them. I'm badass like that."

Jasmine :"Nah, you're just weird."

Ali, smirking :"Because I've got the best cards? Whatever, I think we have more important things to talk about. Isn't that right, Lexi?"
