The Black Crest Chapter 13

Hejigonne and Dr. Gromm stood side by side. The Clown, Dejano, gave a smirk. Hena turned to Dejano.

Hena: So, how should we do this? Tag duel, or…

Hejigonne: Tag duel, we haven’t got enough time to waste on you two.

Dejano: So, you want to quicken you defeat.

Dr. Gromm: We want to finish this and leave.

Vronna: (To Chariton) Hey, come with me for a second.

Chariton: Can’t it wait?

Vronna: Please, real quick.

Col. Barclay: Hey, what’s so important?

Vronna: I promise, we’ll be right out.

Vronna grabs Chariton by the arm and brings him inside. Barclay then looks forwards to the match ahead…

Dejano: I draw!

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 6
Dr. Gromm LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hena LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hejigonne LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Dejano: I summon my “Magic Joker Knight” in attack position!

A dark aura appears, and a clown appears through the abyss.



Dejano: Now, I place 1 card facedown and end my turn.

Hejigonne: Alright, let’s chill things over for a moment…

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 4
Dr. Gromm LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hena LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hejigonne LP: 4000 Hand: 6

Hejigonne: I set two facedowns and summon “Zeal - the Frost Zealot” in attack position.

A cold blue aura engulfs Hejigonne’s side of the field. A warrior steps out and stabs his sword into the ground and rests his hands on the hilt.



Hejigonne: While I’m at it, I’ll activate the spell card, “Frozen Blessings”



Hejigonne: Alright, lady, let’s see what you got.

Hena: With pleasure…

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 4
Dr. Gromm LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hena LP: 4000 Hand: 6
Hejigonne LP: 4000 Hand: 2

Hena: I summon a monster in face-down defense mode. That’s all for me.

Dr. Gromm: That’s all?

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 4
Dr. Gromm LP: 4000 Hand: 6
Hena LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hejigonne LP: 4000 Hand: 2

Dr. Gromm: I summon “Garth’ol - Fire Healer”.



Dr. Gromm: Garth’ol, attack that clown!!!

Hejigonne: Hey, wait!

Dejano: Activate trap card, “Generation Shift”.

Generation Shift Trap

Destroy 1 face-up monster you control. Add 1 card from your Deck to your hand with the same name as the destroyed card.

Dejano: By destroying my own Magic Joker Knight, I have created a replay, and with Hena’s monster on the field, I’m safe, there fore negating your attack. In addition, I can now add 1 Magic Joker Knight to my hand, and by my Magic Joker Knight’s effect, special summon another to the field.

Another Dark Aura appears. Magic Joker Knight is summoned.

Dr. Gromm: I place 2 cards facedown and end this.

Dejano: Time to get this party started…

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 6
Dr. Gromm LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Hena LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hejigonne LP: 4000 Hand: 2

Dejano: Because I already control a Magic Joker Knight, I can now special summon this one to the field.

A Dark Aura appears, and the third Magic Joker Knight appears on the field.

Hejigonne: Activate trap card, “Bottomless Trap Hole”.

Bottomless Trap Hole Trap

Activate only when your opponent Summons a monster(s) with 1500 or more ATK. Destroy and remove from play the monster(s).

Dejano: Alright, fair enough, let’s let this rotation begin. I summon “Caronious - the Juggler” to the field.

A dark aura is summoned, three crystal balls and a demented woman appear.



Dejano: And Caronious has a special effect, I will select 1 card in my grave, my hand, and RFG and place them inside these crystal balls.

Both the Magic Joker Knight from the Grave and RFG appear and insert themselves inside two crystal balls. Dejano then picks up 1 card in his hand and places another card inside the other.

Hejigonne: Oh, this can’t be good.

Dejano: Ha ha ha… watch as she juggles so magnificently…

Caronious juggles the balls, then places 1 in RFG, 1 in the grave, and one returns to Dejano’s hand.

Dejano: Now that I have this, I think I will special summon it, my Magic Joker Knight that is… now to take out that pesky 1900 ATK monster of yours, I play “Fissure”.

Fissure Spell

Destroy the 1 face-up monster your opponent controls that has the lowest ATK. (If it's a tie, you get to choose.)

Hejigonne: Aren’t you forgetting somebody… I have a weaker monster, so your card targets me…

Dejano: Oh, how forgetful of me…

Hejigonne: Activate trap card, “Dark Bribe”.

Dark Bribe Trap/Counter

Negate the activation and effect of an opponent's Spell or Trap Card and destroy it. Your opponent draws 1 card.

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Dejano: He he he… looks like the both of you now no longer have any facedowns. Two facedown’s and end.

Hejigonne: Alright, let’s show it how it’s done… now, due to “Frozen Blessings” I can draw 2 cards during my Drawphase, instead of 1.

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Dr. Gromm LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Hena LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hejigonne LP: 4000 Hand: 4

Hejigonne: Alright, I think I’ll start this with a field spell, my Ice Field.



Hejigonne: Now, “Glacial Liberation”…



Hejigonne: Now, I discard a WATER monster from my deck and immediately remove it from play. Then summon a monster in facedown defense position. Now, my Zeal, attack her facedown monster.

Hena: You attacked my “Cramia - the Thunder Demon”.



Hena: Now I discard my “Ancient Artifact - Sacrificial Blade” in order to special summon 2 more, and draw 1 card for each one summoned.

Hejigonne: That ends my turn.

Hena: I draw.

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Dr. Gromm LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Hena LP: 4000 Hand: 6
Hejigonne LP: 4000 Hand: 1

Hena: The card I drew is “Ancient Artifact - Shell of Aura”, so now I gain 200 life points.



+200
Hena LP: 4200

Hena: Now, I discard my Shell of Aura along with my “Ancient Artifact - Steampuck”



Hena: Now, I can draw 2 cards. Now, I remove my Shell of Aura from play to activate my “Ancient Artifact - Sacrificial Blade”’s effect.



Hena: Now, I summon my “Hell Seeker”.


When this card is summoned, you can discard 1 "Ancient Artifact" spell card from your hand to summon 1 "Guardian Spirit" token to your spell/trap zone (Fairy-Type/LIGHT/3 Stars/ATK 0/DEF 0) and equip it to this card. "Guardian Spirit" gains the following effect.
•Increase the ATK of a monster equiped with this card by 500. If the equiped monster is destroyed by battle or by an effect that targets that card, destroy this card instead.

Hena: Now by discarding my Sacrificial Blade, I can summon a Guardian Spirit Token and equip it to my Hell Seeker. This increases his attack by 500 points.

Hell Seeker ATK: 2000

Hena: Now, Hell Seeker will attack Zeal.

Hejigonne: Sorry, but I’ll defend myself with “Ponzu - the Ice Warrior”.



Hejigonne: Ponzu now returns to the deck.

Hena: I set 2 cards facedown and end my turn.

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Dr. Gromm LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Hena LP: 4200 Hand: 4
Hejigonne LP: 4000 Hand: 1

Dr. Gromm: I guess it’s my turn, DRAW!

Dejano LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Dr. Gromm LP: 4000 Hand: 4
Hena LP: 4200 Hand: 4
Hejigonne LP: 4000 Hand: 1

Dr. Gromm: I activate the spell card, “Conversion of the Darkend Soul”



Dr. Gromm: Now, I summon “Field Medic” to the field.



Dr. Gromm: Now, my Garth’ol will attack your Magic Joker Knight.

Hena: Activate trap card, “Threatening Roar“.

Threatening Roar Trap

Your opponent cannot declare an attack this turn.

Dejano: He he he… looks like your attack has been canceled.

Dr. Gromm: I set two cards facedown and end my turn.



Chariton: So, Vronna, what did you want to talk to me about.

Vronna pulls out her duel disc.

Chariton: Vronna, what are you doing?

Vronna: We have to do this Chariton.

A dark energy appears. Two doors appear behind Vronna. One door was painted black and the other white.

Chariton: What are those doors for?

Vronna turned around and opened the black door. After stepping inside it, darkness filled the entire room, both doors vanished. Vronna then turned around to face Chariton.

Vronna: I draw a card.

Vronna LP: 4000 Hand: 6
Chariton LP: 4000 Hand 0

Vronna: Why have you not drawn your cards yet, Chariton?

Chariton: I don’t know how you found out, but I refuse to duel…

Vronna: Refuse to duel? Well just forfeit then, once your turn comes… I activate the field spell “The Sanctuary in the Sky”.

The Sanctuary in the Sky Spell/Field

Battle Damage to the controller of a Fairy-Type monster from a battle involving that Fairy-Type monster becomes 0.

Vronna: This spell card represents the light. A pure heart. Now to show you how I feel about it, I send my Sanctuary in the Sky to the grave to activate “Sanctuary of the Fallen”.



Vronna: Then I summon “Nova Summoner”.

NAME

LIGHT Level 4 Fairy

When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 LIGHT Fairy-Type monster with 1500 or less ATK from the Deck. If "The Sanctuary in the Sky" is on the field, you can Special Summon 1 "Airknight Parshath" instead.

1400 ATK 0 DEF

Vronna: Now I place 2 cards facedown…

Vronna LP: 4000 Hand: 3
Chariton LP: 4000 Hand 0

Vronna: Draw your cards Chariton, or forfeit, the results will be the same either way.

Chariton: Vronna… what has happened to you?
