//------------------------------// // The W.R.G.P. Fast Approaches // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! EG: Neo W.R.P.G U.S. Selection Arc // by foxmaster //------------------------------// A few days have passed since Silver and Lyra returned from Apploosa and the W.R.G.P is just a week away. Silver Lyra and Lightning were practicing until Silver Bullet came with some bad news. “ Chance I have some bad news the Blueblood Corporation just manage to buy fifty percent of our company and they are close to taking over,” Bullet said as he caught his breath. Silver heard about the Blueblood Corporation. They are the most ruthless companies in the country and when they find a business that is high in the stock market they try and take over. Bullet told Silver how this concerned him since Blueblood was known for giving people a sporting chance he agreed to return his shares if a representative of Silver Corp could defeat him in a duel. Bullet knew his son was very skilled and decided to make him the company's representative. Silver agreed and Bullet told him to be careful. Silver Lyra and Lightning arrived at Blueblood Corp and Blueblood himself escorted them to his private field. Silver stated the terms of the duel and Blueblood agreed. Blueblood signaled his employee to activate the action field Dimension Crossroads and a bunch of portals opened and revealed six different fields some Silver had seen before and some were new to him. Blueblood Corp was experimenting with dimension travel and decided to test it with action fields. DUEL Silver:4000 Blueblood:4000 “ I’ll start,” Blueblood said as both he and Silver drew their opening hands. Blueblood began running towards the Wela Volcano portal as he pulled a card from his hand. First, I summon Ancient Gear Hunting Hound. A mechanical hound began to run right next to Blueblood. Ancient Gear Hunting Hound LV:3 ATK:1000 “ When my Hunting Hound is normal summoned you take 600 points of damage. A flamethrower stuck out of Hunting Hounds mouth and burned Silver. Silver:3400 Blueblood:4000 “ I end my turn,” Blueblood said as he mounted his hound and jumped through the volcano portal. “ My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his sixth card. Silver ran into the volcano portal and grabbed a card from his hand. First, I activate Destruction Sword Vault,” Silver said as a spell with a picture of all the swords being placed inside a vault began to materialize. Once per turn this card lets me add a Destruction Sword monster to my hand so I will use it to add Dragon Buster to my hand. The vault opened and Dragon Buster came out and joined Silver’s hand. Next i summon Buster Whelp. Buster Whelp jumped out of a blue portal and flew next to Silver. Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman LV:1 ATK:400 “ When Buster Whelp is normal summoned I can add a Destruction Sword card to my hand so I will add another Dragon Buster to my hand. Next, I tribute my whelp and summon Buster Blader. Buster Whelp vanished and Buster Blader took its place. Buster Blader LV:7 ATK:2600 “ Battle Buster Blader attack Hunting Hound. Buster Blader ran and dragged its sword across the ground. Blueblood noticed an action card on a rock up ahead and grabbed it. I activate the action card Evasion now your monster’s attack is negated. Buster Blader swung and missed and Silver moved to his main phase two. I equip Dragon Buster from my hand. Buster Blader’s sword was replaced and then tossed at the ground. I unequip Dragon Buster to special summon it. Dragon Buster grabbed the sword and took a fighting pose. Dragon Buster Destruction Sword LV:1 ATK:400 “ Next I activate Level Selector,” Silver said as a spell with a picture of a menu of cleared levels on a flat screen appeared. This spell allows me to declare a level and change the monster I target with this card to become that level so I change Buster Blader to level six. 7-1=6 “ Now I tune my level one Dragon Buster with my level six Buster Blader. Dragon Buster turned into a star and then into a green ring and turned Buster Blader into six stars. 6+1=7 “ mighty dragon that speeds through the boundaries of time and space rise from the ashes and shine your wings brighter than the sun! Synchro Summon! Roar! Level 7! Clearwing Synchro Dragon. ]A white dragon with emerald wings began to fly through the sky and then stopped by Silver’s side. Clearwing Synchro Dragon LV:7 ATK:2500 “ I end my turn,” Silver said as he mounted Clearwing and he and Blueblood entered the portal to Mercury Frontier “ My turn I draw,” Blueblood said as he drew his fifth card. Blueblood stopped outside of the town and dis-mounted his hound. I activated the field spell Gear Town. An entire city made of gears and clockwork began to grow out of the ground and began to spread to the other fields. Thanks to this city I can summon ancient gear monsters with one less tribute so I tribute my Hunting Hound to summon Ancient Gear Golem. A giant robot that bore a striking resemblance to a Roman soldier appeared where Blueblood’s Hunting Hound was. Ancient Gear Golem LV:8 ATK:3000 “ Next I activate the spell Insane Summon Gear this spell lets you draw two cards but in exchange, I get to summon up to two more copies of one of my ancient gears that I already have on my field from my hand deck or graveyard. Silver drew his two cards and two more Ancient Gear Golems rose from the ground. Ancient Gear Golem x2 LV:8 ATK:3000 Silver flew around looking for action cards until he noticed one on the roof of the saloon in the starting town. Silver grabbed it while the other two golems rose from the ground. Before the battle phase begins I activate the action card impenetrable now my Clearwing can't be destroyed by battle or card effects until the end of the turn. Battle Ancient Gear Golems attack Clearwing with triple mechanized melee. All three golems began charging at Clearwing and sent him flying into a boulder with one punch from each of them. The impact almost made Silver lose his grip. Silver:1900 Blueblood:4000 “ Next I activate the spell polymerization and fuse my three golems. All three Ancient Gear Golems began to spin inside a vortex. “ O mighty warriors of the Roman empire unite and become a force stronger than my foes and crush them! Fusion Summon! Charge! Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem! A giant centaur version of Ancient Gear Golem took its position and raised its giant claw ready to fight. Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem LV:10 ATK:4400 “ I end my turn,” Blueblood said as he climbed onto his Golem. “My turn I draw,” Silver said as he drew his fifth card. Silver needed a plan and noticed he drew the perfect one. I activate Megamorph and equip it to my Clearwing. Clearwing began to be covered in a green aura as its atk doubled. 2500x2=5000 “ Battle Clearwing attack that rusted-out steam-driven pile of junk. Blueblood was really mad from that comment about his monster. Clearwing climbed into the air and struck Ultimate Golem and caused it to explode. Silver:1900 Blueblood:3400 “Now I'm mad when Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem is destroyed I can summon Ancient Gear Golem ignoring the conditions. Ancient Gear Golem rose from the rubble. Ancient Gear Golem LV:8 ATK:3000 “I activate Twin Twisters by discarding my Glow Up Bulb i can destroy your GearTown. Two twisters blew away all of the buildings and clockwork leaving a barren wasteland. Finally, I play raigeki to destroy your Golem. A bolt of lightning struck down Ancient Gear Golem and blew it up. I end my turn,” Silver said as he and Blueblood entered the portal to the action field Cosmic Station. This field was a space station about the size of the sun and big enough to house it. “ My turn I draw,” Blueblood said as he drew his third card. Blueblood was laughing when he drew his card. If you thought my Ultimate Golem was my best card this one will really shock you. I activate the spell Miracle Ancient Gear Fusion,” Blueblood said as a spell with a picture of rusty gears spinning materialized. This spell lets me banish fusion materials from my graveyard and fusion summon an Ancient Gear fusion monster. All five of Blueblood’s monsters began to mix inside the vortex. “Oh, mighty shoulders of the Roman empire and mechanical hound that never loses its foes combine and run my foes over! Fusion Summon! Full steam ahead! Ancient Gear Steam Engine! A grey train with the head of Ancient Gear Golem on the front began to pull next to Blueblood. Ancient Gear Steam Engine LV:12 ATK:? “ Before you ask about its atk my engine’s atk is multiplied by the number of materials used to summon it times 1000. Steam Engine began blowing its stack as it gained atk. Blueblood jumped on top of his Steam Engine and began chugging through the station. 0+5000=5000 Silver began flying around the station looking for action cards until he found one on the ceiling until one of Blueblood’s banished cards stopped Silver and knocked the card into Blueblood’s hand. Blueblood activated the card. I activate the action card Twinkle Comet this not only drops Clearwing by 1000 but you also take 500 points of damage. Clearwing got hit by a meteor and Silver fell off from the recoil. 5000-1000=4000 Silver:1400 Blueblood:3400 Clearwing caught Silver in time and flew back to the station. Before the battle began both Silver and Blueblood entered the portal to the next field which was the action field Sky Kingdom. Both Silver and Blueblood raced through the skies and the Battle began. " Battle Steam engine attack Clearwing. Steam Engine opens its cannons and began firing while Silver flew around for action cards and Blueblood searched as well. Both Silver and Blueblood grabbed action cards from the cloud bank ahead. " I activate the action card Phoenix Arrow this inflicts 1500 points of damage. Blueblood sent a phoenix-like arrow at Silver. " I activate the action card No Action this stops your action card. Silver and Blueblood kept going and kept fighting with a clash of action cards. " I activate the action card thunderbolt this card destroys your monster. blueblood thought he won the fight but Silver countered. " I activate the action card Mirage this negates Clearwing’s destruction. The clash kept going until they entered the action field Ice Mountain. Silver and Blueblood kept racing until they both reach the top of the mountain and both grabbed action cards. " I activate the action card Ice Ball this reduces your atk by 1500. Blueblood fired a giant snowball at Clearwing until Silver stopped it. " I activate the action card No Action. Silver stopped the snowball and both Silver and Blueblood continued to race until they reached the sixth and final field Coliseum of warriors. This reminded Silver of how Yugi and Kaiba had their duel during the battle city finals. There was only one action card left and both Silver and Blueblood ran for it. Blueblood grabbed it before Silver but was not happy with what he grabbed. " Reluctantly I activate the Action Trap Battle End this trap not only ends the battle phase but we both gain 600 life points. Both Silver and Blueblood were covered in a blue aura. Silver:2000 Blueblood:4000 “ Don't think you're safe just because the battle is over I activate my Steam Train’s other effect I banish all the spells and traps I used during this turn and you take 200 points of damage for each one. All nine of the cards Blueblood used began filling Steam Engine’s cannon and Silver got hit by a lot of power. Silver:200 Blueblood:4000 “ I end my turn give up Silver you're hanging on by a thread now and on my next turn that thread will snap,” Blueblood said as he jumped off his monster. 4000+1000=5000 Silver fought Blueblood with everything he had and all of his spirit but in the end, he failed. For the first time in his life, he let everyone down. “ DON, T GIVE UP SILVER YOU'RE STILL IN THIS,” Lyra shouted with all her might. “ Lyra,” Silver said. “ YEAH YOU MAY NOT HAVE MANY LIFE POINTS LEFT BUT YOU STILL HAVE YOUR FRIENDS,” Lightning shouted equally loud. “ Lightning,” Silver said. Just then Silver felt something in his soul and began to see a silhouette of a dragon telling Silver to summon it. “ My turn I draw,” Silver shouted with a renewed spirit. What Silver drew really renewed his spirit. It was the very card giving to him by his father. First, I mill my top card in order to summon the Glow Up bulb from my graveyard. Glow-up Bulb began to bloom onto the field. Glow-Up Bulb LV:1 DEF:100 “ Next I tune my level 1 Glow-Up Bulb with my level 7 Clearwing. Glow-Up Bulb turned into a star and then into a single green ring that turned Clearwing into seven stars. 7+1=8 “ Oh, mighty dragon that shines brighter than the sun evolve and shine brighter with wings of crystal and power! Synchro Summon! Evolve! Level 8! Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon!. An evolved version of Clearwing with wings made of crystals began to descend from the sky and land next to Silver. Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon LV:8 ATK:3000 “ Next I activate the equip spell Silver Family Sword: KasaiŌkami and equip it to Crystal wing. A katana with a crescent-shaped blade near the handle appeared and caused Crystal Wing to have its wings glow red. This spell is an old family heirloom that gives my monster an extra 1000 atk. 3000+1000=4000 “ Battle Crystal Wing attack Steam Engine. Crystal Wing flew high above the Colosseum and moved in a constellation pattern before diving down. I activate Crystal Wing’s effect when it battles a level five or above monster it gains atk equal to that monster’s atk. Crystal Wing began glowing as it gained power. 4000+5000=9000 “ 9000 ATK? ,” Blueblood shouted as Crystal Wing dived faster. Crystal Wing dive bombed Steam Engine and blew it up. All the pieces of debris began to bury Blueblood as his life dropped to 0. Silver:200 Blueblood:0 Winner: Silver The field began to vanish and Blueblood was down from losing. Silver told Blueblood this was one of the most intense duels he ever had. Blueblood told Silver he wanted someone to help test his latest dimensional portal creator and knew the only way to do so was to threaten another company. Silver told Blueblood he did not have to do that he could've just asked and he would have come. Blueblood returned the fifty percent of Silver Corp’s stocks he bought to Silver and Silver told Blueblood he made an amazing field and told him to submit his invention to Industrial Illusions and he would put a good word in for him. Back at Silver’s Mansion Silver was telling his father about his duel with Blueblood. Bullet was impressed by Blueblood’s new invention. “ So Blueblood really pulled it off,” Bullet said remembering how he and the other companies made fun of him for his ridiculous idea. Silver went back to his room and decided to ready his deck for the W.R.G.P. As Silver was preparing he received an email from the organizer showing the pairings for the first round. At Sunset’s Apartment, Twilight and Starlight were preparing their decks when Sunset came out of her room and told them they sent her the pairings for the first round. Twilight and Starlight were ready for the worse of the worse. Inside Team Skullcrush HQ Bandit Keith just received the first round pairings with a warning attached telling them any more misconduct and they are disqualified. Keith was fine with that since most of the competition is already unfit to ride so now they have less competition to deal with. Keith told Oil Slick and Gutrot to load the prisms and get ready for operation wheelie lock. Oil Slick loved this one and Gutrot loved it too. Keith was sharpening his knife and then threw it at his picture of Silver. “ And soon your next Silver and your girls too,” Keith said as he retrieved his knife.
