Chapter 6 - Chap 6: VS Dextra and Nistro (2)

3rd POV:

Dextra and Nistro look at their field helplessly, with double resources but now they don't have a single monster while Ryuji still have 3.

"I set 2 cards to the field and activate from my hand Card of Sanctity; each player draws until they have 6 cards in their hand."

"No way I let that card success activates, flip my set card Dark Bribe, when my opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card: My opponent draws 1 card, also negate the Spell/Trap activation, and if I do, destroy it. I negate your Card of Sanctity." Although he doesn't mind Dextra activate Card of Sanctity since he also gets to draw 4 cards, but this is a 2v1 which mean Nistro also get to draw and that make them draw 11 cards in total.

Dextra look indifferent when her card gets negate, her lip slowly curves into a smile. "Then I activate my set card, One Day of Peace; Each player draws 1 card, and neither player takes damage until the end of the opponent's next turn."

*Sign* 'So that's what she's plan. One Obnoxious Celtic Guard is not enough back up for her huh?' Ryuji look at both Dextra and Nistro draw their card then also draw 1, the most noticeable downside of a 2v1 is resources, every time a whole field effects that let player draw card, the side with more players get more advantage since all of them get to draw card like Card of Sanctity or One Day of Peace.

"I end my turn."

"My turn draw, I activate Dragonlark Pairen effects. During the Standby Phase: I can detach 1 material from this card, then target 1 Level 5 or lower monster in your GY; Special Summon it. Come back, Rescue Rabbit."

[Rescue Rabbit, atk: 300]

Dextra and Nistro faces darken instantly when they see the rabbit once again, they now have the same though. 'Did he built his entire deck only to bring this damn rabbit out or what!?'

"I activate Rescue Rabbit effect to special summon 2 Megalosmasher X from my deck. Then I overlay both monster to xyz summon Evolzar Laggia."

[Evolzar Laggia, atk: 2400]

"I change Leviair to attack position and attack your Obnoxious Celtic Guard, Leviair attack is 1800, lower than 1900 so it can destroy Celtic Guard." Leviair release a strong wind, completely cut the elf guard in half.

Dextra and Nistro look unbothered when their last shield got destroy, because of One Day of Peace effect it's impossible for Ryuji to deal damage to them this turn.

"Then I use Laggia and Pairen to attack Nistro directly."

Both attacks deal no damage but extremely humiliating. Nistro feel his fists getting harder. 'Damn simp! This is gender discrimination' Dextra look away not dare to look at Nistro.

Ryuji grin a little before putting down one card from his hand "I pay 1000 LP to activate Cosmic Cyclone; target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; banish it. I banish your Ultimate Offering." Between Ultimate Offering and that mysterious set card he still thinks Ultimate Offering is more threatening. 'Next time I have to get at least 1 Tornado Dragon.'

[Ryuji, LP: 7100 -> 6100]

"Then I tribute both Leviair and Carboneddon to summon Super Conductor Tyranno in attack position. I end my turn."

[Super Conductor Tyranno, atk: 3300]

Nistro took a deep breath before look directly at Ryuji and slowly open his mouth. "As expect of you Ryuji, even in a 2v1 you're still dominate this fight."

Ryuji stun at the sudden praise from Nistro before response arrogantly. "Of course, the person you two currently face is the strongest duelist in the school and the future Duel Champion."

Both Dextra and Nistro chuck at Ryuji attitude. Nistro continue "Every time I see you battle, whether with me or other. I have never seen you panic, always calm like everything is within your calculations. Like a teacher look after his students than a battle between two duelists."

"Tell me, Ryuji. Did you find this duel boring?"

Both Dextra and Ryuji stun at Nistro question. "Every time I duel with a duelist with equal strength or a duelist that superior, I always feel excitement, the excitement of finally able to go all out, to have a great battle. But with you, Ryuji. Did you feel that excitement when battle with a weakling like us?"

Ryuji didn't expect Nistro to ask him such question out of nowhere, then he started to wonder did he feel that excitement Nistro mention. He remembers every battle he has since coming to this world and wonder which one make him excited the most.

'It's the first duel I have again Mr.Heartland bodyguard.' The first duel he has in this world is the duel he feels the most excitement. 'Why is it?' Because he feel the thrill of winning, the thing he has never feel again after that battle.

'Then why? Why did I only feel the thrill of winning in that battle? Is it because that my first duel? No! It's because that time I'm still weak, still able to fight again one with equal strength.'

After that battle he grow stronger, no one his age can keep up with him. They're so weak that he never feels a desire to win again them. He is a priceful person after all, thinking everyone was too weak for him to go all out, to the point of purposeful make his deck weaker so other stand a chance again him. But there still no one can give him the excitement of winning, the only thing that make he feel a bit of excited is the duel itself.

So yes, he still can feel the excitement when duel with them but not because of how strong the opponent but because he can duel, something he can only do in this world, that make him excited.

Then he looks at both Dextra and Nistro before answer. "Would you two disappointed if I say that wether my opponent are you guys or other I will still feel the same?"

Dextra and Nistro look at each other before letting out a long sign. Dextra open her mouth and let out a helpless smile. "We're still too weak, doesn't it?" She looks at Ryuji gently and say with determination "Even though right now we're no match for you but in the future, we will definitely grow stronger! Strong enough to give you the battle you deserve and strong enough to make you look at us as your equal. As for now-"

Nistro continue "- We will let you witness everything we have! My turn, draw!" This time, Ryuji can feel the fighting spirit within Nistro burn more fiercely.

"First I activate Dextra set card, Xyz Reborn. Target 1 Xyz Monster in my GY; Special Summon it and attach this card to it as material. Return, Fairy King Albverdich!"

Ryuji: "In your dream! I activate Evolzar Laggia effect. I can detach 2 materials from this card; negate your trap card activate and destroy it!"

Nistro: "Then I activate Card Destruction, each player discard as many cards as possible from their hands, then each player draws the same number of cards they discarded. Card of Compensation effect; if this card was sent from hand to the graveyard I can draw 2 cards."

"And then I activate Soul Charge, I can special Summon any number of monsters from my Graveyard. Then, I lose 500 Life Points for each monster Summoned by this effect. Those monsters cannot attack during this turn."

Ryuji frow a little upon seeing that card. 'Anime effect Soul Charge, definitely add 1 to my deck.'

"I summon 5 monsters from my graveyard, Morpho Butterspy, Swallowtail Butterspy, Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword and two Heroic Challenger - Night Watchman. I tribute 1 Night Watchman to summon Heroic Challenger - War Hammer from my hand. Then I overlay Night Watchman and Extra Sword to xyz summon Heroic Champion - Excalibur in attack position and it atk raise by 1000."

[Heroic Champion - Excalibur, atk: 3000]

[Morpho Butterspy, def: 1600]

[Swallowtail Butterspy, atk: 1800]

[Heroic Challenger - War Hammer, atk: 2100]

"Activate Premature Burial from my hand by paying 800 LP, then target 1 monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Attack Position and equip it with this card. I summon Hammer Bounzer from my graveyard."

[Dextra/Nistro, LP:7000 -> 3700]

[Hammer Bounzer, atk: 2300]

'Wait! Did you build half of your deck with banned card or what? This is getting ridiculous!' Ryuji complain out loud in his head.

"Finally, I activate Heroic Chance, target 1 face-up "Heroic" monster I control; this turn, double its ATK, but it cannot attack directly. Double Heroic Challenger - War Hammer atk."

[Heroic Challenger - War Hammer, atk: 2100 -> 4200]

"Battle Phase! I use War Hammer to attack Super Conductor Tyranno." The hero swings its huge hammer at the dinosaur, easily crush it.

[Ryuji, LP: 6100 -> 5200]

Then a familiar thick black mist come out of his duel disk form a body of a three head dog. Ryuji scan Nistro before locking his eyes with Swallowtail Butterspy. 'If I remember correctly that monster effect is...' He quickly calculates in his mind and open his mouth. "I banish Peropero Cerberus to destroy Hammer Bounzer." 

Nistro frow a little but quickly continue "Heroic Challenger - War Hammer effect; When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: I can equip the destroyed monster to this card, this card gains ATK equal to that equipped monster's ATK. Equip Super Conductor Tyranno to this card."

[Heroic Challenger - War Hammer, atk: 4200 -> 7500]

"Now I activate Swallowtail Butterspy effect; When another monster I control inflicts Battle Damage to my opponent: Target 1 face-up monster my opponent controls; it loses ATK equal to the Battle Damage inflicted. You just take 900 battle damage, so I target Evolzar Laggia, it loses 900 atk."

[Evolzar Laggia, atk: 2400 -> 1500]

"Then I end my turn. War Hammer atk return to normal."

[Heroic Challenger - War Hammer, atk: 7500 -> 5400]

Nistro let out a long sign, if Ryuji not choose to destroy his Hammer Bounzer then he could have destroy his Pairen. Now that damn rabbit gonna jump back one again. He don't have any card left to stop that. He then looks at his Excalibur with a bit of regret. 'I will have to ask Mr.Heartland for another ace next time.'

Ryuji casuals flip his set card. "Before that, I activate Call of the Haunted and summon Rescue Rabbit in attack position."

[Rescue Rabbit, atk: 300]

Nistro and Dextra was too tired and don't bother to show any emotion the moment their see the rabbit. 'Just how many time that thing have appear on the field?'

Ignore the two thoughts, Ryuji start his turn. "Now my turn, draw! During standby phase I activate Pairen effect to bring back Rescue Cat in attack position. Now you two will witness my full power! I overlay bot Rescue Rabbit and Rescue Cat, behold! Rank 4 Lavalval Chain!"

Immediately, an immense pressure like a mountain covers the entire field. The reality got bent under the pressure. The heat from the monster so high it can compare to the sun. (Only in Ryuji imagination since this card has no spirit and the other don't even know why this card was so terrifying.)

'So this is the feeling of using an eternal banned card, so good!' "Activate Lavalval Chain effect, detach 1 material from this card to send 1 monster from my deck to the graveyard." Now it's time for it to shine, the very card Ryuji bring with him before he leaves the orphanage.

"I send Inzektor Hornet to the graveyard. Then I summon Inzektor Dragonfly in attack position." A soldier with an armor like that of a dragonfly appear on the field.

[Inzektor Dragonfly, atk: 1000]

Right now the most surprised person on the field is no other than Dextra 'When did Ryuji also use insect?' To be fair, Dextra entire deck is warrior with insect appear appearance.

"Activate Inzektor Dragonfly effect, I can equip 1 "Inzektor" monster from my hand or GY to this card, I equip Inzektor Hornet to this card. Hornet effect, while this card is equipped to a monster, that monster's Level is increased by 3, also it gains ATK/DEF equal to this card's ATK/DEF." Then Ryuji chuck a little. "You two don't have to care about this effect, the important is the second one. While this card is equipped to a monster: I can send this Equip Card to the GY, then target 1 card on the field; destroy that target."

Ryuji slowly raise his finger like a gun and point it at Heroic Challenger - War Hammer. With a smile, he slowly opens his mouth and utter a single word. "Bang!"

Hornet turn into a drill and pierce though War Hammer completely destroy it.

"I'm not done yet, activate Inzektor Dragonfly effect; If an Equip Card(s) is sent to your GY while equipped to this card (except during the Damage Step): I can Special Summon 1 "Inzektor" monster from my Deck, except "Inzektor Dragonfly". Come forth, Inzektor Centipede!"

[Inzektor Centipede, atk: 1600]

"Like Dragonfly, I can equip 1 "Inzektor" monster from my hand or GY to this card. So once again, equip Inzektor Hornet from my graveyard. I activate Hornet effect to destroy Excalibur in your field." The bee soldier once again turns into the drill, this time it pierces though Nistro ace.

"Centipede effect; If an Equip Card(s) is sent to your GY while equipped to this card (except during the Damage Step): I can add 1 "Inzektor" card from my Deck to my hand. I add Inzektor Giga-Mantis to my hand and activate it effect; I can target 1 face-up "Inzektor" monster I control; equip this card from my hand to that target and it atk become 2400. I equip this card to Inzektor Dragonfly."

[Inzektor Dragonfly, atk: 1000 -> 2400]

"Inzektor Dragonfly attack Morpho Butterspy, Dragonlark Pairen attack Swallowtail Butterspy and deal 900 battle damage."

[Dextra/Nistro, LP: 3700 -> 2800]

'After all that effort, my field still can't withstand one turn, this is the end.' Nistro thought bitterly and close his eyes accepted defeated. After destroying two remaining monsters on the field, other monster of Ryuji can KO them. 

Then suddenly besides him, Dextra mocking voice could be hear. "You just talk big about showing him our full power yet now you're already accepted defeated. Please don't forget about me. From my hand I discard Kiteroid to make one direct attack becomes 0. Then I can remove this card from my graveyard to make another direct attack become 0. Both battle damage from Inzektor Centipede and Evolzar Laggia become 0."

One card alone completely stops Ryuji attack. Dextra smile a little "You don't mind when I use same card as you right?" She sees Ryuji use this card before and feel that it'll be helpful in future so she adds it to her deck.

"Alright, you two have another turn. I end my turn." Ryuji sign a bit regretful for not able to defeated them this turn.
