//------------------------------// // Chapter 2- Beerus duelling maniac // Story: Equestria Crossover Confusion 2 HFC- Time to Duel! // by Garfield23 //------------------------------// Beerus smirked across at Jaden as Jaden drew his card from his deck, Jaden frowned and said “I play polymerization to fuse Elemental hero Sparkman and Elemental hero Flame Wingman in order to summon Elemental hero Shining Flare Wingman! Now I count the number of Elemental Heroes in my grave and my monster gains 300 attack points for each! That gives my monster a total attack strength of 5800 points!” Jaden then added “I guess your threat to take all my friends has proven to be wrong!” Beerus continued to smirk before saying “We’ll see” his only monster was Master Roshi the Z fighter with 700 attack points but then he added “Attack and you’ll lose” Beerus said with a confident swish of his tail. “Oh yeah! I attack with Shining Flare Wingman!” Jaden yelled as the monster flew forward but Beerus’s spell activated “What is that?!” “It’s the quickplay spell card, Final Sacrifice, it only works when I have a Z fighter monster on the field but what it does is channel our life points, except 100 points into that Z fighter, so you have 3000 and I have 2600, by my math that means, Roshi’s attack points becomes 6300!” Roshi buffed up to his most powerful shape and launched the Kamehameha, Shining Flare wing man was destroyed and Jaden’s remaining 100 points dropped to zero “On the plus side, the monster it’s used on is destroyed right away but I don’t suppose that matters” Jaden collapsed to his knees and said “No…I lost…please don’t!” he said looking behind Beerus to his captured friends and looked at the god of destruction with despair “I’ll…do anything!” Beerus smiled “Pick three, to compete in the Tournament I’ll be hosting in two days and if one of your friends or yourself, should win I’ll let the rest of your friends go” he threw Jaden a blank card and said “Meet my assistant Whis at Seven pm at Domino peer in two days! Now choose who will go free!” Jaden couldn’t be asked to choose from his friends but he didn’t have a choice, he had to choose very carefully and he said “Alexis, Zane and Aster” he’d wasn’t sure with his choices but they were allowed to run over to Jaden as Beerus disappeared “What…have I done!?” Alexis helped him to his feet and said “Jaden we all know you did your best but we have to focus on saving our friends from his grasp” Whis smiled as he finalised the details of the tournament, the ponies they had captured were being treated like guests, they couldn’t escape but they were still treated well and Whis was enjoying having company on Beerus’s planet. “Scootaloo, be careful with that” Whis said as he walked past and stopped at the lake “Ah, Beerus should be back shortly, Celestia” Celestia continued to be very hostile towards Whis, true she had only been on Beerus’s home planet for a few hours and she was cross to be a prisoner again but she sighed “Indeed” she said “Why is your Lord Beerus doing this?” Whis shrugged and said “He’s just doing it because he was bored and took a liking to Equestria…I mean, it has all the tasty treats of Earth and then he began to watch your student’s adventures. He thought it would be funny to toy with her but yeah he might have gone too far” he then laughed “Nah it’s all in good fun” Luna said as she walked over “How can you truly believe that? Thanks to your actions Equestria is destroyed and…nothing can bring it back!” she said tears dripping from her eyes “Our lives aren’t a game! There is no game worth the lives of others!” Beerus arrived back and said “Hmm haha I have seen so many lives snuffed out like candles…it’s no big deal” he then traced his finger through Luna’s mane “Your planet is fascinating to my game and the fun potential is purely…endless” he then cupped his chin “The best part is…Equestria is just one small part of that planet…” “Then why was it worth murdering ma brother?” Applebloom screamed as she sat at Luna’s hooves, her eyes puffy with tears and her mane a mess “I…I want…ma…ma brother back!” Beerus looked at Applebloom before saying “Applebloom…isn’t it? Well you’ll get your brother back I’m sure…the dragonballs and all” he sounded bored by the filly's question but then Beerus turned to Whis “So Whis is my new toy ready?” Whis nodded with a smile “You mean your duel runner? I got the very best one I could” he explained as he snapped his fingers and then a duel runner appeared. The runner was a bright green colour, with red highlights and was built to resemble a power ranger shark cycle with the hammer head design at the front “Does this match your needs my lord?” Beerus smiled and said “Truly Whis you have outdone yourself, when I duel Yusei, the final piece of the puzzle will be in place and have you got the decks for our guests ready?” he was referring to Twilight and Fluttershy as he spoke “I do hope they’ll be able to pick up the basics” Spike ran up and screamed “That isn’t fair! They don’t know the game…how long will you give them to learn?” Whis held up 4 fingers “Four weeks?” Spike guessed but Whis shook his head “Four days?” another shake “Four hours?” a nod “But that isn’t fair!” Beerus frowned and said “Fairness has nothing to do with it…if Twilight is so smart, she should do just fine or I’ll destroy your world” he then got onto the duel runner “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a duel I need to get to” He turned on the engine and drove through a portal. Beerus headed straight for the motorway to see if you could find Yusei, after a while he found his target and called out “Yusei Fudo, I’ve been looking for you! Duel me!” Yusei turned his head and had to do a double take “Um…why?” he asked over the roar of the engines “Why do you want to duel me?” he then thought about it “I mean I don’t know you!” Beerus raised his finger and pointed towards the open ocean, the blast of energy that fired out caused the water to rise three miles up very rapidly “Next time…I’ll aim for your city” he said simply “Unless you duel me!” Yusei was horrified, if that kind of energy hit the city, the city would be demolished and he said “Alright, it’s time to rev it up!” he said as speed world activated and the two began to ride on the allocated duel course “Alright I’ll take the first move! I’ll start by summoning a monster in face down, defence mode and lay a card face down! Your move!” Beerus drew his card and smiled “I’ll set two cards and summon Tien the Z fighter in attack mode!” he said and smiled “I’ll then launch an attack! Tien attack with Vollyball technique!” however Yusei’s trap activated revealing a Scrap Iron Scarecrow, that negated the attack and then the card was laid facedown “Hmm very interesting. I’ll end my turn” Yusei drew his card and said “I play another monster in defence mode and set another card face down” he then looked at Beerus’s monster, he’d never seen that card before but that was no reason to doubt it was dangerous and if he couldn’t summon his Stardust soon, this duel might very well be over “Come on make your move!” Beerus drew a card and said “I summon the tuner monster Satan the fake Z hero in attack mode!” the form of Hercule Satan appeared on the field with 100 attack points and 100 defence “I’ll then use it to give Tien a tune up and summon Cell the Perfect!” Cell appeared on the field with 2200 attack points “This card allows me to copy any two cards you have on the field and I pick Scrap Iron scarecrow and that facedown monster! Now Cell attack” Yusei then activated his Scrap Iron Scarecrow but the attack ripped through the trap and struck the monster which turned out to be Shield Warrior “What happened?!” Yusei yelled in alarm “My trap should have stopped that attack!” Beerus laughed “Any card copied by Cell is instantly destroyed as soon as the attack is declared and if I’m not mistaken your other monster was the one Cell copied” as soon as Beerus explained that, Yusei’s monster exploded revealing Quilbolt Hedgehog “Well it’s your move” Yusei looked at the field and then at his hand, except for his face down spell, there was nothing else on the field but he’d just drawn Junk synchron and then he got a move in mind that might turn the tide, his facedown was One for one “I activate the spell card one for one, giving up two speed counters and summon Sonic chick from my deck” he’d discarded Speed warrior to activate the spell and then he said “I then summon Junk Synchron! Now Junk Synchron’s bond with his friends is very strong, so he revives his friend Speed warrior and Quilbolt Hedgehog decides to tag along too!” the four monsters appeared on the field in attack mode. Beerus smirked and said “If that’s all you got you won’t win and I’ll…” “I’m not done yet!” Yusei interrupted and he then said “Watch as Juck Synchron gives Quilbot hedgehog a little tune up!” the monsters rose up as the summon began “You threatened my home, you threatened my friends, as my monster appears before you know my friends and I will never fail. I synchro summon Junk Warrior!” the monster appeared on the field in attack mode “Now Junk warrior gains attack power from any level two or below monsters so that’s an extra 1200 points!” he then frowned across “Now attack Junk Warrior! Scrap fist!” Junk Warrior flew forward avoiding Cell’s attempts to blast it down and punched Cell in the stomach, Beerus’s life points dropped to 2700 but he smiled and said “Is that all you got? I’m disappointed” but suddenly Speed Warrior and Sonic Chick attacked resulting in his points to drop to 1400 “Hmmm my turn?” Yusei shook his head and said “I’ll set a card facedown and end” he had taken a huge risk, by not summoning his two weaker monsters in defence mode but his hand contained the card Tune Warrior, next turn he’d be able to summon Stardust Dragon and win “Make your move!” Beerus drew a card and said “I win. I play the spell card Z signal! This lets me summon two z fighter monsters from anywhere! So I summon Yamcha the Z fighter and Tien the Z fighter! When I summon Yamcha I can summon another Z fighter so long as it's a tuner monster, so come fourth Krillin!” he then smiled “I’ll overlay Yamacha and Tien in order to summon fat Majin Buu but then I’ll play Rank Up-Barian’s Force to unlock Super Majin Buu!” Majin Buu appeared, before the magic of the spell card turned him into his Super form with his attack points set to 1500. “N…no what is that thing?!” Yusei said staring at the pink monster who grinned evilly at him “No matter it’s still no match for my Junk Warrior!” Beerus smiled calmly and said “That’s why Majin Buu’s special ability will now activate allowing Buu to absorb all your monsters and gain all their attack points times two!” he laughed as Buu turned Speed Warrior to chocolate, Sonic Chick to candy and Junk Warrior to an iced fruit cake “Now his attack power is 10 000!” eating the treats Buu changed to resemble himself crossed with Junk Warrior “Now attack Yusei directly!” “No…It can’t be!” Yusei screamed his facedown card couldn’t stop the attack as Majin Buu flew up and charged his fist that looked strangely like Junk Warrior’s fist. Then flew straight down and Yusei crashed due to the impact “N…N…No…I fail…failed” Beerus floated over and said “Now I want you to gather your fellow signers and Leo” he then looked over at the city “Otherwise, I’ll destroy your planet and you along with it” he smiled and added “You’ll meet my assistant Whis at the sight of your greatest success, the duel stadium, in two days at 7pm but you might want to improve that weak deck” “Why!? We’ve done nothing to you?!” Yusei yelled out weakly as he got up and tried to punch Beerus but missed before collapsing “Please…tell me” “Because it’s fun” Beerus said, he popped a card into Yusei’s jacket pocket before disappearing. An hour later Blister and Tanner were driving on their way to work, when they spotted Yusei lying on the road and they stopped “Yusei! Oh no! What happened?! Yusei!” Tanner yelled as he jumped out and ran over “Blister! Call an ambulance! Yusei is in a bad way!” Blister called the ambulance, as they waited for an ambulance, a duel runner rolled up and Akiza looked at Yusei before saying “Who did this?!” she then jumped off the runner and walked over to Yusei “Yusei? Please open your eyes” she whispered gently as she cradled his head in her lap but her strength failed her as tears splashed onto Yusei’s face and she cried out “Yusei…please…do not go where I can’t follow…please…hold on” The ambulance arrived and Yusei was taken to hospital, his injuries were serious, they were the worst of his young life but Akiza stayed with him. Word got around to Crow, Jack, Leo and Luna, the four practically arriving at Yusei's room at the same time. It was then Crow spotted the card in Yusei’s jacket pocket and took it in his hand “Is that a pony?” he asked as he looked at the Pony on the card “I’ve never seen a card like this. It looks like a monster…who gave this to Yusei?” there was silence before Crow sighed “Whoever gave it to him…I bet they’re the ones who hurt him” “What’s the monster’s name Crow?” Jack asked pointing to the card but he took it and read “Twilight Sparkle” “OOO I bet it’s a calling card…I bet this Twilight Sparkle hurt Yusei after she lost a duel to him!” Leo said excitedly “They do it in the movies!” “Leo this isn’t a movie, besides it’s a pony” Luna pointed out “Why would whoever did this design a pony version of themselves…before hurting Yusei?” Jack however said “Regardless. We must remember the name” he then put the card back “It might be a clue” he then walked out before turning and added “I’m going to go and check the surveillance cameras with Trudge, to see if we can identify whoever it was that was duelling Yusei” Crow, Luna and Leo all went home three hours later but Akiza sat by his bedside “Please Yusei…” she said as she waited for the signs that he was okay but he remained unmoving except for his chest moving up and down but it was so sad and slow “I…I love you” Akiza mumbled as she continued to wait. Her hope beginning to fade but if Yusei didn’t wake up soon, Beerus’s threat would become an all too real possibility.
