Duel 17: Inferno's Trial

"Well, this place is definitely what I expected.", Inferno said as he looked at the area his door had led him. It looked like a stage. "Too bad there's no show going on here."

"Oh, there will be! And you're gonna be a member of my captive audience!", a voice said. Inferno snapped his attention to the source, and found the Musician King! "Welcome to my stage!" Inferno then saw the crowd of duel monsters trapped in the stadium seats! "All who come here must stay and hear my sweet shredding play for all eternity!"

"We'll see about that!" Inferno then noticed a red glow coming from his Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword! Once he grabbed it, it transformed into a guitar! "THIS is the weapon for a battle like this!"

"Then let our rock war begin!" Musician King began to furiously strum his guitar! Sending out waves of sound that pushed Inferno from the stage's center, and gradually towards the edge! The whole crowd booed his performance! He may have been playing a lot of chords, but they had no order! "YEAH! How's that for a rockin' solo?!" It was taking everything Inferno had not to rant at Musician King. Inferno's dad used to be a rockstar, and Inferno had inherited his love of rock and roll from him. His father had taught him ever since Inferno first picked up an electric guitar. The songs his father had were some of the greatest hits of rock! And this jerk, who was just strumming his guitar about, making little more than just random noise, DARED to call himself a musician?! This would not stand!

'This guy thinks he knows how to rock? Well then. Time to show him how to rock the dragon!', Inferno thought. Inferno got his guitar ready and took a deep breath. "That the best you got? Let me show you how to really fire-up a performance!" Inferno then began playing the theme of one of his favorite video game characters!

Song Inferno is playing:

Fire began to dance along the strings of Inferno's guitar as he summoned his dragon wings and gave a floor slide to finish the song off! The force of Inferno's performance pushed Musician King far from the center of the stage! "THAT'S what I call rockin'!" The whole crowd cheered Inferno's performance! Musician King scowled as he got to his feet.

"You've heard the sound....now feel the fury!" Musician King began playing like crazy! The sound coming from his guitar was all over the place! All that was present was a hurricane of noise that made the crowd cover their ears! The sheer cacophony was that unpleasant! "No one upstages me!" Musician King then picked up the pace of his playing! Strumming faster and faster! But as he did so, the strings of his guitar snapped! Musician King's jaw droppped in horror as he saw the grin on Inferno's face.

"If you really were a musician, you'd know when your instrument's had enough! Time to rock the dragon!" Inferno began to play the perfect song to dethrone Musician King! 'This is what it means to really rock!'

Final Performance:

As Inferno finished the song, an energy projection of Red-Eyes shot out from his guitar! Knocking Musician King off the stage! "THANK YOU ALL!" Inferno screamed as the crowd cheered! "Looks like I don't need to worry about lugging an amp around anymore." Inferno then saw a warp appear on the stage. Before he left, Inferno bowed to the crowd. "I hope you all enjoyed the show." Inferno then stepped onto the warp and found himself back in the main hall. Only five chains remained on the main door. "We're almost half-way there."
