Turn 23: Evil Double! (2)

'''Yu-Gi-Oh! Infinity Hunter''' ARC 2 “Infinite Search.”

Turn 23 “Evil Double.(2)”

Jason – 600 Yuni – 2500

“My turn then.” Jason draws a new card and looks at his hand. As his Machina Guard Mech and Machine Cannon raised their cannons. “I tribute my Machina Guard Mech to summon forth  Blowback Dragon (2300/2000).” A machine dragon with a cannon as a mouth appeared on the field, raising its cannon to the height of Yuni.

“Oh great a mechanic dragon with an ability rivaling the  Barrel Dragon.” Yuni sighs and she looks at her Forbidden Summoner. “Well, my Book of Shadows gains 1 Shadow-Counter and my Secret Scepter chapter card gains 1 Silver-Counter.”

“Next for my  Frontline Base, summoning forth  Heavy Mech Support Platform (500/500. Now this card can be equipped to a Machine type monster and increase the equipped monster by 500 points.” The mechanical platform with guns and cannons was equipped with XYZ-Dragon Head Cannon (ATK/DEF: 2800/2600 -> 3300/3100). “One more thing when I have equipped a machine-type monster with a Union monster I can summon another Union monster from my deck. Appear Road Gunner (700/400)!” A new two-legged machine appeared on the field. It had a humane looking appearance with a machine gun on both arms.

“I suppose this Union monster is equipped to a Machine type monster as well?”

“Correct, like  Heavy Mech Support Platform, it is equipped to XYZ-Dragon Head Cannon (ATK/DEF: 3300/3100 -> 4000/3800). Next stop, my continuous spell card  Machine Assembly Line. This card increases the attack power by 200 (ATK: 4000 -> 4200) (ATK: 2300 -> 2500) (ATK: 0 -> 200).” Jason lowered his duel disk. “XYZ-Dragon Head Cannon, destroy her Forbidden Summoner!”

“Destroying my Shield of the Forbidden King, means I can return both my Forbidden Summoner and Shield of the Forbidden King to the deck, shuffle it and draw two cards.” Yuni smirked as she returned the two cards to her deck, the duel disk auto-shuffled it and she drew two cards.

“I end my turn with this card face down.” Jason inserted another card and grabbed his arm, looking at his three main monsters and the equipped Union monsters in the back row of his duel disk. “Go ahead. Fire away.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Why did you not use  Blowback Dragon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">`s effect?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I wanted to have more fun with you, so I don’t.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn then.” As Yuni draws a new card her Book of Shadows turns to the next page. “With my turn starting, I choose to destroy every single Chapter card on my field and add my Scepter of Masule to my hand.” As she flipped a card out of her hand, her three chapter cards were discarded to her graveyard.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Oh well, this has been fun.” Jason nods to his face down card and it flips over. “Activate  Dust Tornado<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. I destroy one card on your field and I choose to destroy your Book of Shadows. There will be no returning of your monsters this turn, Yuni.” Jason smirked as he scratched behind his ear.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What is it, Jason? Are you feeling well?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Is he fighting something?” Blake wondered and he looked at Jason. “Is he fighting the urge to duel Yuni?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I have a rather useful card this time,  Pot of Greed<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. I draw two cards.” Yuni inserted the card into her duel disk and draws two cards. “Now I have more cards. Next for my Book of the Silver Kingdom card, I choose to add 1 Chapter card from my deck to my hand.” She shifted through her deck and added a card to her deck.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Let us hope it is anything good to battle Jason.” Lance sighed and Blake shared his concern by nodding.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I activate Chapter VI – Armor of the Forbidden King. When this card is successfully activated, I can special summon one Silver Temple King (0/0) from my deck to my side of the field.” An armored  Royal Knight<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> with a bulkier armor and a golden sword. “Now due to Chapter VI this card Silver Temple King gains 1000 attack points per turn as long as Chapter VI remains on the field (ATK: 0 -> 1000).”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now we are getting somewhere.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Not exactly,” Blake pointed out and he pointed to the low attack score of Silver Temple King. “Silver Temple King is still too weak to destroy any of Jason`s cards.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next I equip Silver Temple King with Scepter of Masule, the card I retrieved through Chapter IV – The Secret Scepter. Chapter IV had acquired four Silver-Counters, which means the equipped monster can attack twice.” Yuni smirked. “And combined with Silver Temple King`s effect to attack directly, when the attack or defense power of every monster on my opponent`s side of the field. So, how about a double direct attack!” Silver Temple King raised its golden blade and stabbed Jason twice.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I don’t think so.” Machina Guard Mech disappeared in light and formed a shield around Jason. “By tributing Machina Guard Mech I lower all Battle Damage to 0.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Great,” Yuni sighed and lowers her duel disk. “I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is my turn then,  Card of Sanctity<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> activate!” Jason inserted the card and coins fell from the sky and landed into Yuni`s and Jason`s hands, transforming into cards. “We both draw until we hold six cards.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Thanks!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next this card in defense mode.” A vertical placed monster card appeared on his side of the field. “Now having ensured that piece of my strategy, I activate  Blowback Dragon<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">`s effect, flipping three coins.” Three virtual coins were flipped and two landed on heads. “Good now, I can destroy 1 card on the field. Say goodbye to your Chapter VI card!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“And there goes her power-up card…” Lance sighs and looks at Yuni, who had not shifted her look from her Silver Temple King. “And she does not seem to worried about it.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Probably her Scepter of Masule card?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next stop my spell card Mechanical Union Tribute. By removing my Road Gunner and  Heavy Mech Support Platform<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> from play I add 1 Union monster from my deck to my hand. Next by removing Mechanical Union Tribute from play from my graveyard I can return one Machine-type monster back to my hand.” An Effect monster was pulled out of his graveyard and placed in his hand,  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. “Now I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn.” As Yuni had drawn her next card, her Book of Shadows glowed and another page was turned over. “By the effect of my Book of the Silver Kingdom I add my Chapter VII card to my hand. Activate spell card, Chapter VII – Final Stand. Now by discarding two cards from my hand, I summon forth one Silver Guardian Token (2000/1000) to the field.” A silver armored knight appeared, holding one golden shield and sword.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Another generation of Silver Knights, interesting.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“That is not all as since my Silver Temple King is still weak enough to face your monsters heads on, so it can attack directly. Unfortunately it can no longer attack twice because you destroyed Chapter VI. But Silver Temple King, attack him directly!” Yuni ordered as the majestic knight raised its blade and plunged it into Jason.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Unfortunately I have a monster with rather a special ability in my hand,” Jason raised a card from his hand. “You see if Android Berserk Cannon is in my hand, I can negate all direct attacks.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I suppose that is not all it does?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You’ll find out soon.” Jason smirked and he looked at Silver Temple King. “You will find out soon as I aim on beating you next turn or the turn after next turn. It has been fun, Yuni, but this duel is nearly done.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“We’ll see about that. I end my turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My turn,” Jason draws a new card and smiles. “Now I tribute my Machine Cannon to summon forth  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (2400/1500).” The feared android returned to his side of the field. “Now this card negates all Trap Cards. Also of course due to my  Machine Assembly Line<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> gains 200 attack points (ATK: 2400 -> 2600). Next I flip my  Machina Defender<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, adding one  Commander Covington<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> to my hand.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Seriously what Machine headliners does he have in his deck?” Lance asked Blake.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“He plays various types of machine decks. His favorite of course has Sky Devil Fortress Ziggurat as the ace card, but it seems he plays a combination of his XYZ cards along with Union cards this time.” Blake looked at the humongous dragon cannon.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Next I discard one card from my hand and activate my XYZ`s special ability, destroying your Silver Temple King.” Jason ordered as the cannons blasted apart the majestic knight. “And next stop my  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">! Attack her Silver Guardian Token!” The Token was destroyed and Yuni`s lifepoints dropped.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 2500 -> 1900

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now I think I end my turn.” Jason lowered his duel disk and waited for Yuni to make her move now.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Jason – 600 <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 1900

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“The world is filling with darkness.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The man in the white robes with the infinity symbol encrusted eye patch over his right eye appeared in the same white chamber as he was previously. The bigger and bulkier man with the patch with the infinity symbol on his forehead, just below his hood, sat down on a golden throne.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No,” the bulkier man spoke on a slow tone. “They may not fall. It is their destiny to stand. The futile attempt of the Silent Core to implement a Perfect Rule on the Human Realm is one to be forgotten.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“As long as we trust in them,” the younger man continued and an infinity symbol appeared in the air, forming an image of the duel between Jason and Yuni and another one morphing in the image of the duel between Gillian and Dyllan. “As long as we trust in them and we support them, they will not fail.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“If they do,” the bulkier man warned the younger man. “Sever the connection, so that they are safe. They may not fall, he may not fall.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Where…..” A pair of eyes opened. “….. am I?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The owner of the pair of eyes stood up. He had short black hair and was wearing a black T-Shirt over a pair of blue jeans. As he stood up, he noticed himself being equipped with a dark grey duel disk with clock symbols on it. He stared around, astonished to find himself in a dark space.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Where am I?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">As he tried to move around, a loud explosion was heard. Or rather it was the sound of a clock ticking, reaching the hour. The man held his hands over his ears as he looked around, suddenly finding himself drawn into the air. A pair of eyes appeared in the dark space. A pair of giant eyes.

Do I really need to tell you where you are?

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The voice was followed by a high cackling laughter. Tentacles came from the darkness around the man, grabbing him by his feet, dragging him into the air as the dark space slowly started to take on forms.

''You are in your worst nightmare. Hahahihahahi!''

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The man got shivers on his arm as the laughter went through everything. He was turned around by the tentacles, finding himself face to face with a gigantic fusion of an octopus and a tarantula. It had the body of an tarantula and the head of an octopus. The legs of the body were replaced by the tentacles from an octopus. The very same tentacles that were holding the man.

Isn’t this what scares you the most?

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">A feint form started to take a solid structure as a ghostly face, completely white, with green hair hidden beneath a purple hood. He had bright red lips and was wearing a rather big purple overcoat. He held a single card in his hand.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Who or what are you?”

I am the dream walker, or should I say nightmare walker.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Am I just asleep?”

No…

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What am I then?”

You are at the verge of the death.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">As the man was turned around by the tentacles again, and many octopuses swimming in the darkness around him, light fell on his face. It was Justin.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">---

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Really now?”

So now, when I draw a card and it is a Normal Monsters card, I can draw again.” He draws a card during his Draw Phase and shows it to Gillian,  Giant Red Seasnake<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">(1800/800). He draws another card from his deck, revealing it as well.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ Since he has his deck stacked with Normal Monsters it should not be too difficult for him to keep drawing.<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’ Gillian sighed as she saw how he revealed the card to be another Normal Monster card. ‘ Great, a Warrior Dai Grepher.<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’

Which allows me to draw another card.” He finally showed to have drawn a spell card,  Fusion Recovery<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> in fact. “Well since I have 6 cards now in my hand and most of them are Normal Monsters, I choose to activate Card Trader.” The continuous spell card appeared on his field.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">‘ Oh great now he can shuffle one card back into his deck and draw a new card.<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">’ Gillian sighed and looked at the card.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Due to Card Trader, I can shuffle one card into my deck and draw one card from my deck.” He choose to return a Normal Monster to his deck, allows the deck to auto-shuffle in the duel disk and draws a new card. “Aha, now this is interesting. Another Card Trader card. By returning my  Fusion Recovery<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> card, I shuffle my deck and draw another card.”

It had the headband of  Warrior Dai Grepher<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, but his armor had pieces of purple in it. “Now I equip my Sword Grepher with  Black Pendant<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, increasing its power by 500 (ATK: 2200 -> 2700). Next stop, you Dragan, Lightsworn Dragon Knight! Quick Kill Slash!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Drakan`s effect! When it is attacked, it gains 1000 attack points!” Gillian returned the strategy. “You are done for!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No, I don’t think so, you see. When Sword Grepher attacks a monster with an higher original attack power, it negates the effects of the monster it attacks,” Dyllan countered and the Dragon Knight disappeared in light particles. “And therefore this duel ends in my favor.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Not yet,” Gillian threw a card away in her graveyard slot. “Activate  Draining Shield<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. Now I gain the attack power of your monster as lifepoints. Thanks a lot Dyllan.”

Activate spell card, which is another  Solar Recharge<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.

Now for my next spell card, Light Crest. This card can only be equipped to a Lightsworn monster.” A crest appeared with the LIGHT symbol on it, attaching itself to Drakan, Lightsworn Dragon Knight. “Now the monster equipped with this card can automatically destroy a monster on your side of the field. If the equipped monster is weaker, I can destroy another monster on the field. I choose to destroy your  Giant Soldier of Stone<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.” The stone soldier exploded. “And with that your other  Giant Soldier of Stone<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> as well.”

Graceful Charity<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">!”

I activate Trap Booster. By discarding one card from my hand, I can directly activate a card from my hand.” He inserted the card into his duel disk. “ Just Desserts<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Pruiper`s effect also counts now, Dyllan, which means you still haven’t beaten me yet,” Gillian proudly admitted and she looked at Dyllan who was now struggling to find an answer to that. “Plus Shield and Sword wears off after your turn.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Gillian – 1350 -> 250

Activate Light Genesis!” The spell card appeared on her field and a  White Hole<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> appeared in the sky, sucking up all monsters into it. “It destroys all monsters on the field.”

Shall I call them back?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It does not matter,” Gakyru spoke and he looked at the medallion on the wall that represented the Mouth of Ne’us. “Sever the links to the Marked on the duels that have ended. Our testing phase is nearly over. The experiment is a success.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes Master Gakyru.”

He then turned away from the pool as a new man entered the room.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Welcome Rau.” Gakyru spoke and the man bows. “Have you completed your mission to the island?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“With success, Master Gakyru,” Rau spoke slowly. “I have heard about your successful experiment in the city. Congratulations if I may say so.” Rau saw how uneasy Rhuarc was around him. “Has my brother been any help at all?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Except bothering me with HIM,” Gakyru forcefully pressed against Rau and pointed to the medallion. “No he has not been a bother to me at all. In fact he helped me determine the strength of our enemy`s friends.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Good,” Rau spoke and sat down on the steps to an altar. “Now what are your new orders, my master?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Go to the Newark Woods,” Gakyru allowed the pool of water to change shape into the forest in which the dojo where Troy trains, was. “Find me this mysterious duelist that has beaten my greatest opponent. Judge him, determine him, defeat him and bring him to me.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes my master.”

You are at the verge of the death.

The ghostly face, completely white, with red lips and green hair, dressed in a purple suit and a purple hat, laughed with a high cackling laugh.

''What? Don’t you think this is funny?''

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Justin shakes his head.

Have you lost your tongue?

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No!”

I think this is funny.

''I find this amusing, very amusing. So amusing, I intend to end this with a BLAST!''

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">A shrilling sound was heard as Justin was shaken through and he tried to look around but all he could see were the tentacles of the horrible beast holding him. He had no idea who the guy was, but he was clearly toying with him.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Who are you?”

Your worst nightmare.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No…..” Justin tried to pull himself loose from the tentacles. “That is that thing down there. Well a merger of two of my greatest fears.”

''I know about your fear for octopuses and tarantula’s. Your greatest fear is my strongest point. My master has told me I could toy with you as you have seen yourself, but alas he wants you for himself.''

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The ghostly man hovered up to Justin, clearly staying near the monster holding Justin, clearly staying near Justin. He stroke Justin`s hair and around his face as he laughed again.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Who are you!”

''Who am I? Am I twisted? Am I a lunatic?''

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes, you are indeed….” Justin shouted into the face of the man. “This is not real, I am dreaming. This is not real, I am dreaming.”

Did your mother tell you to repeat that when you confront your greatest fear?

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I am dreaming.”

''Oh really now? Wake up then.''

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Justin closed his eyes and opened them with a shock, finding himself inside a hospital chamber with the bodies of many people around him in body bags or on hospital beds. He tried getting up, but he could not, he was being held down by an invisible force. The room slowly filled with purple gas and cards rained down from the ceiling. As Justin grabbed one of the cards, he saw it was a Joker<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> card.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What the hell?”

''Hahahahihahahahi….. you really thought it was that easy now?''

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Where are you?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">As Justin turned around, the face of the man suddenly popped up at the side of his bed. His purple hat was off and the beds around him slowly disappeared into the mist. The man danced around Justin`s bed.

I am afraid your time to wake up has not come yet and probably will never come either…..

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The surroundings changed, as Justin was no longer in the hospital bed, but in a area, which was rocky and gassy and misty. In front of him was a large gate. A gate filled with black smoke, a gate surrounded by skulls, a gate with two statues attached to the sides.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Where am I?”

This is your place for eternity!

All of them once, but I am sure I do not need all of them.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What are you talking about? You still have Chapter VII on the field….” Lance corrected her and Yuni looked at him. “You did not notice?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Ouch, I forgot about that one for a minute.” Yuni joked and both Blake and Lance and Ken could punch themselves for the head. “I summon forth one Silver Knight Token (1500/500). Next my Book of Shadows gains another Shadow-Counter [4] and I remove them all to summon my Royal Book Keeper (1600/800) to the field.” The older librarian returned to her side of the field.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Oh great, what is she planning with that card?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Not much. Next my Loyal Minion spell card,” Yuni inserted the card in her duel disk and all monsters were surrounded by a golden glow. “As long as this card is on the field, control over monsters cannot switch. Also I summon forth my Wolf Clan Guardsman (1500/1200).” A new man appeared, being hidden in a wolf`s clothes. “They are all in defense mode, so unless you are planning on a monster with piercing damage, I am afraid you cannot touch my lifepoints just yet.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I have other ways of doing it.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Now Silver Temple King, attack him directly!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“My Android Berserk Cannon negates that effect. Remember I still hold that card in my hand.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Oh well,” Yuni lowered her duel disk and looked at Jason. “I suppose it is your turn again then.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yes,” Jason confidently draws a new card. A light shines from the hand off Jason. “Now I summon Android Berserk Cannon (500/400) to the field and equip it to my  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.” The android was equipped with a set of cannons. “This Union monster has a special effect depending on how many attacks it negated.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“And it is a Tuner it seems….” Blake noted and Yuni nodded, seeing the same fact as well. “Great, what is Jason planning this time?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Android Berserk Cannon increases the attack power of the equipped monster by 100 per attack negated (ATK  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">: 2600 -> 2900). Also Android Berserk Cannon, when unequipped gains half of the level of the monster it was previously equipped to.” Jason smirked and pointed to  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. “It means my Android Berserk Cannon`s level is increased by 3 (LV: 1 -> 4).”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Six from  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> plus the four from this Android Berserk Cannon….. that makes ten,” Blake made the connection. “Could he be going for a Level-10 Synchro monster?”

Man and machine become one, the electric currents transforming the earth! The shadows of technology rising and the power of the mind high! Synchro Summon! Rise, Shadow Android – EX  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (3000/2100)!” From the Synchro gate a new type of  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> appeared. It had somewhat the same outfit and built as  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">, however its shoulder pats were replaced with two heavier pats with extensions on it. “Now once per turn I can negate and destroy all trap cards at any moment I want.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Which makes less sense, since I simply use loads of spell cards and nearly no trap cards,” Yuni told Jason and Jason nodded. “So basically, the only handy thing EX  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> is for, is the fact it has an immense attack strength.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Not exactly, it has another effect.” EX  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> raised its arms into the air and two trap cards flipped out of his graveyard. “By removing 2 Trap Cards, I can deal you 1000 lifepoints of damage!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Yuni – 1900 -> 900

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“What?!” Blake was astonished. “That is where she pulls out all of her power!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Is she crazy?”

And with that I mean really all monsters, including yours!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Aha.”

Her mouth fell open as the android was still on the field, while all other cards had disappeared.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I removed a trap card from my hand from play,” Jason explained and smirked. “To negate the destruction of EX  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">.”

Activate trap card, Silver Scepter Blast! When a Scepter of Masule is present in my graveyard. All Effect Damage is halved. Which means I am still in the game!”

First I summon my  V-Tiger Jet<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> (1600/1800) in defense mode and then I command my EX  Jinzo<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;"> to attack your face down monster!”

Jason stopped in front of them and smiled. Blake and Yuni slowly got up, looking at Jason directly, fear in Yuni`s eyes were visible.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Gakyru!” Blake shouted and no-one answered, Jason remained unmoved. “If you hear me, show yourself and release control over our friend!”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“He is not around, Blake Connolly.” Jason slowly continued and he grabbed his neck, crabbing it. “I …… I work under Master Gakyru ……. and I…..”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">The bulkier man with the infinity forehead patch nodded to the younger fellow near him, who concentrated himself on the duels between Jason and Yuni and the other duel between Gillian and Dyllan that had ended already.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“It is done.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“You say you don’t remember what you just said?” Blake asked Jason, still haven’t moved an inch from where he was standing. “You just fully have beaten Yuni in a duel.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“I dueled Yuni?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Yeah, you did,” Yuni spoke to Jason and Ken and Lance grabbed Jason by the arms. “You really do not remember?”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“No, last I remember was that I was here at the park.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Well when we arrived here, you were all villainy against us and you insisted on dueling me, under orders of Master Gakyru. Do you really not remember anything about that?” Ken asked Jason, who shakes his head.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Do you really think it is a good idea to tell him that?” Yuni whispered to Lance.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Rule number four, never tell a lie if you don’t know the truth,” Ken replied without looking around to Yuni. “Gakyru must have used some kind of controlling device to take control over Jason.”

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Apparently,” Lance intervened and he pointed up to a TV screen hanging in front of a building. “We were not the only ones.” Shots of various duels commenced, including an overview shot of Blake`s house with the duel between Gillian and Dyllan taking place.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Blake that is your home,” Yuni pointed out.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“And that is  Avenging Knight Parshath<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">,” Ken continued.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">“Gillian is in danger,” Blake concluded and they rushed off. When Jason rushes of, there is no longer any cross-shaped mark visible behind his ear.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">---

The ghostly man with the white face and green hair was standing next to the gate.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Justin was slowly hanging in the tentacles, waiting for something to happen. As he thought of closing his eyes, the gate slowly started to open and a long shadow appeared, slowly falling back to a single person stepping through the gate. He was cloaked and hooded and his hood had a cross-like symbol on top.

Bow for your new king, Overlord of the Dead Zone, Master Ne’us.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">To be continued……

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">RANDOM INFINITY HUNTER TRIVIA:

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">And so the second double episode duel of Infinity Hunter has ended. Well double episode duel, double duel double episode duel  <span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">. Not much to say about this episode, well yeah one thing, the Dead Zone scenes. I have absolutely no idea why I wanted to give Justin the fear of a horrific fusion of a tarantula and an octopus. Really no idea, they have nothing to do with time or clocks whatsoever, but it was fun to write. Imagine how it would look in a picture. Maybe I’ll once make such a picture.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">Also I might be adding short character bio`s in the Episode Guide, but I am not sure how and when. Also by now the Infinity Hunter website should be completely up to date. At this very same moment I have no idea yet, what kind of deck Ne’us is going to use next turn, but it will be awesome, at least you all know what Justin runs.

<span style="color:rgb(225,228,242);font-family:verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucidagrande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:left;">See you for Turn 24!
