Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Battle Royale ❯ The Battle Royal ( Chapter 1 )

Battle Royale!

The Announcer stood outside of the field

"Ladies and Gentlemen here are the rules for the Battle Royal. In just a moment those duellists who drew numbers one and two will enter the playing field and the match will begin. Then every two minutes or after another duellist will enter the match according to the number he or she drew. If two or more duellists are eliminated in one turn another duellist will enter the match but the next duellists will arrive every two minutes. It is every man for themselves, elimination occurs when a duellists life points reach 0. For each duellist the Graveyard limit will be 20 cards. Once the Graveyard has been filled the cards in the graveyard will be placed at the bottom of the deck and the discarded cards after that will be placed into the graveyard again. When a duellist enters the field they cannot be attacked until they have drawn one card. The last Duellist remaining on the field after all 20 have entered will be declared the winner and will earn a spot at the Duellist Master Invitational. Duellists number one and two please make your way to the ring"

Maria Noonan and Geoffrey Burton started to walk down to the field. The commentator spoke to the crowd

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Geoffrey Burton and Maria Noonan"

The crowds cheered as the duellists took their positions. Geoffrey smiled

"Want to go for dinner after this?"

"Only if you beat me"

"And if I win"

Maria smirked

"Oh I'm sure I can cook up something for you to do for me"

The referee spoke

"Duellists ready your disks. Life points readers to 2000!"

The duel disks and the scoreboards read 2000

"Begin the duel"

They each drew five cards

"Ladies first if you don't mind. I'll summon the Harpies Brother in attack mode and I'll play Mountain"

A large mountain appeared on the field. Maria smiled

"And one card face down to end my turn"

Geoffrey drew

"I will play the Blackland Fire Dragon in attack mode. It gets the power boost from the field. Then I play Germ Infection to decrease the ATK of your Harpies Brother by 300 for each of your turns and one card face down to end my turn"

Maria drew again

"I'll now summon The Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress. And I'll attack your Dragon with the Harpies Brother!"

Geoffrey smiled

"Reveal, Mirror Force!"

Maria's Monsters were destroyed and her life points dropped to 1400

"And now I'll put you out of the Battle Royal, Blackland Fire Dragon attack now!"

Maria smiled

"Reveal face down card, Waboku!"

"Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Bandit Keith"

Bandit Keith arrived on the field and he readied his deck. Maria looked at her card

"I'll summon the Red Skull Bird in attack mode and one card face down"

"I'll place two cards face down then I'll summon Overdrive in attack mode then I'll flip 7 Completed to increase its attack power by 700 to 2300. That ends my turn"

Geoffrey drew

"I'll summon Dragon Zombie in attack mode and another card face down. And I'll end my turn"

"Welcome to the game Andrew. I'll flip my face down card to destroy my opponent's level 4 monsters"

All of Andrew and Bandit Keith's monsters were destroyed. Geoffrey looked at Andrew

"I'll then summon the Catapult Turtle to sacrifice my 4-Starred Lady Bug of Doom."

The Catapult Turtle launched the 4-Starred Ladybug at Andrew his life points dropped to 1600

"And I'll end Andrew already. I'll attack Andrew's life points directly with the Blackland fire Dragon!"

Andrew was struck head on and his life points dropped to 0. Andrew walked off the field and it began to count down. The crowds shouted

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3R 30;2…1…"

Darren walked down the aisle and the crowds stood to their feet.

"Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Darren Coey!!"

"Oh I forgot Geoffrey your life points are now 150 since you destroyed my Black Pendent. I'll play Monster Reborn to revive my Cannon Soldier. Then I'll summon the Giga Tech Wolf in attack mode. I'll sacrifice him to make Cannon Soldier attack Geoffrey's life points directly"

"First I play Dian Keto the Cure Master raising my life points to 3000. Then I'll play Special Summon to summon my Tyrant Dragon!"

Everyone was stunned at Darren's huge Tyrant Dragon appeared on the field.

"How did he?"

"And now attack Maria's monster!"

His Tyrant Dragon demolished her defence monster. Darren turned his attention to Bandit Keith.

"And since a monster is still on the field I can attack again. Attack Bandit Keith's Cannon Soldier!"

His monster annihilated Bandit's Keith's Cannon Soldier and his life points dropped to 0. Darren laughed and he looked back at Maria

"And I'm still not done. I play final Flame to take out the remainder of your life points."

Maria's life points dropped to 0 and Darren laughed. Everyone cheered. Darren folded his arms waiting for his next opponent. The counter counted down. The crowds shouted

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3R 30;2…1…"

Julie Knight walked down and the aisle and Darren laughed.

"Ladies and Gentlemen introducing Julie Knight!"

Julie drew her five cards. She drew an extra card

"Ok Darren I'll place a monster face down in defence mode and a card face down"

Darren drew

"I'll play Dragon Treasure to increase my Tyrant Dragon's attack power by 300. Then I play Destruction Punch!"

"No!"

"And now Tyrant Dragon, take her out!"

Darren's monster wiped out Julie's monster dropping her life points to 0. Everyone cheered, as they couldn't believe Darren's skill. Darren folded his arms and he waited for the next opponent. David Kelly walked down and Darren was stunned

"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing David Kelly!"

David reached the field and he drew five cards

"Now Darren, time to face an opponent on your level"

Darren laughed

"You think you are on my level? Think again"

David drew his next card

"First I'll play Remove Trap to get rid of Destruction punch. Then I'll summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior and I'll play Royal Command to negate your monsters effect. And finally I'll place a card face down. I have trapped you Darren"

"You'd like to think so but I still have the stronger monster on the field. Attack now Tyrant Dragon!"

Darren's monster fired its attack

"Block attack!"

Darren's attack was blocked and his Dragon was placed into defence mode

"And now you can't attack until next turn, but it's my turn now. I draw"

David drew

"I'll summon the Darkfire Soldier in attack mode and one card face down"

Darren thought

`Attack mode? He must be planning something.'

Darren drew

"I'll play the Robotic Knight in attack mode. And that will end my turn"

David smiled

"Thanks for the opportunity. I'll now summon the Sanga of Thunder!"

Darren was stunned

"What have I done?"

David smiled and the timer counted down. The crowds shouted

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3R 30;2…1…"

Sean walked down the aisle

"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Sean Shevlin!"

Darren and David looked up

"Uh oh"

Sean arrived on the field and he drew his five cards and he drew his first card.

"Well I'll place two cards face down then I'll summon Aqua Madoor face down in defence mode"

Darren drew his card

"I'll place a card face down then I'll play Stop Defence to bring your monster into Attack position Sean"

Sean's monster was placed into attack mode. But Sean smiled

"Sword's of Revealing Light to surround David's monsters and then I'll play Thunder Ruler so Darren will skip his Battle Phase."

Darren drew his card

"I pass"

David drew his card

"First I'll play Remove Trap to remove your Royal Command. Then I'll play De-Spell to remove your Swords of Revealing Light. Then I will summon the 7 Coloured Fish in attack mode to end my turn"

Sean drew

"First I'll summon Cyber Falcon in defence mode then I play Soul Exchange! I will sacrifice Darren's Robotic Knight and my Aqua Madoor to summon the Buster Blader!"

"Sorry Sean, no Dragon's in any of our graveyards"

"But there is one on the field. Darren's Tyrant Dragon that increases my monsters attack power to 3100. And I'll attack David's Sanga of Thunder"

"Wrong! Block it!"

Sean's Buster Blader was blown back to his side of the field

"Don't you remember the Sanga's effect? It blocks all attacks even if they are higher"

Darren drew his card

"I will summon Little Chimera in defence mode and it increases my monsters attack power to 3400. Attack Sean's Buster Blader!"

"Cyber Falcon, defend!"

Sean's second monster took the hit for Buster Blader but his life points weren't touched. David drew his card as the timer counted down. The crowds shouted

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3R 30;2…1…"

Bakura walked down the aisle.

"Bakura?"

Bakura arrived on the field and he drew his five cards. It was David's turn

"I play Monster Reborn to revive my Magnet Warrior then I'll sacrifice both my monsters to summon Suijin!"

Everyone looked at David

"I know what he's doing. He's going to summon the Gate Guardian!"

David smiled

"Well not even two attacks can knock me down but just to be sure I'll place a card face down. But I'll play the Scroll of Bewitchment to make my Sanga's attribute to a water type. Then I play Umiiruka to flood the field!"

Water flooded unto the field

"And that increases my monsters attack power by 500. So nothing on the field can take me down for a third attack"

Sean drew his card

"I'll play Monster Reborn to revive my Cyber Falcon then I sacrifice it to summon the Air Knight Parsath!"

Everyone raised their eyebrows

"Strong monster"

"And a good effect as well. Attack Darren's little Chimera!"

Sean's monster was about to strike down Darren's monster

"Shift to David's Suijin!"

Sean's attack was directed to David's Suijin but his attack was blocked. Sean looked at Darren

"What?"

"Not only did I not want my monster destroyed but we must work together to take down David's Monsters. He is about to summon the most powerful monster in the game and we have to stop him!"

Sean looked at David who had his arms folded

"Now this isn't very fair"

Bakura looked at both Darren and Sean

"Don't either of you worry. I'll take him down"

They both looked at him

"What can you do?"

"Observe"

He drew

"I will summon the Earthbound Spirit in defence mode. I then play Monster Reborn to revive Darren's Robotic Knight"

Darren folded his arms

"I'm waiting to be impressed"

"Patience my friend, I will pass my turn"

"What!"

Darren drew his card.

"I will play the Emperors Holiday to negate David's Scroll of Bewitchment!"

David's card was destroyed

"Then I summon a monster face down defence mode and a card face down"

David then drew his card

"I play Call of the Haunted to revive my 7 Coloured Fish. Then I place a monster card face down in defence mode and one card face down"

Sean was about to draw

"Sean? I didn't say I end my turn. I play Ultimate offering to summon the Kazejin! Then I sacrifice all my monsters to summon the all powerful Gate Guardian!"

The crowds were stunned at the power of the monster summoned. David's life points dropped to 1500 Darren looked up

"3750 Attack power?"

David smiled

"And I'll attack Bakura's two monsters."

Both Bakura's monsters were destroyed but he smiled

Sean then drew his card

"I place a card face down to end my turn"

Bakura smiled

"I will play Goblins Secret Remedy to increase my life points to 2400. Then I play Ultimate offering to summon The Grand Tikki Elder then I play The Castle of Dark Illusions both in defence mode"

Bakura's life points dropped to 1900. Darren folded his arms

"I'm still waiting"

Bakura looked at David

"So am I. I'll finish with a card face down

David smiled and he drew

"Ok then I'll not disappoint. I'll wipe out your monsters again. Attack his monsters, Gate Guardian!"

Again the Gate Guardian destroyed Bakura's monsters and he smiled

"You have activated my trap card. Double Turn"

Darren and Sean looked Bakura

"You skipped our turns!"

Bakura smiled

"And now I remove these three fiends from my graveyard to summon the Dark Necrofear"

Bakura laughed but David was confused

"What was the point in that?"

"Wait and see"

"This will end you. Destroy that monster Gate Guardian!"

The Gate Guardian destroyed Bakura's monster and his life points dropped to 350. Bakura smiled as the Gate Guardian came to Bakura's side of the field. Everyone was stunned

"What!"

Bakura smiled

"You were too cocky and you activated my monsters effect. So now Gate Guardian, destroy David now!"

The Gate Guardian blew the hell out of David, dropping his life points too 0. Bakura laughed and he turned to Darren and Sean. Robin came down the aisle

"Oh good god, look who it is boys"

They all laughed as Darren drew his card and he smiled

"Well Bakura I thank you for removing David from the field but I'll have to remove you. I play the Salamandra to increase my monsters overall attack power to…4100 isn't it?"

Bakura was stunned

"Tyrant Dragon, knock him out!"

Darren's monster wiped out Bakura's Gate Guardian dropping his life points to 0. Bakura walked off the field. Robin drew five cards and she drew another card

"Ok boys, time to show you why the ladies dominate this event. I'll play the Island Turtle in defence mode, a monster face down in defence mode and one card face down"

Sean drew his card and he looked at Robin

"I play Raigeki!"

Robin smiled

"Wrong, flip Maryokutai! I'll sacrifice my monster to negate your magic card"

Sean's magic card disappeared and he looked at his two monsters

"Attack her Buster Blader!"

Sean's monster sliced down her Island Turtle

"And now, Airknight Parsath, attack her life points directly!"

Robin was struck by Sean's monster head on and her life points dropped to 100. Darren drew

"Ok then Sean I will summon the Dark Fire Solider in attack mode then I play Raimei to send Robin packing"

He life points dropped to 0. She walked off and the time counted down again. The crowds shouted

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3R 30;2…1…"

David Balfour walked down the aisle and the crowds cheered, but not too loudly. Darren turned to Sean

"I will attack your Buster Blader with my Tyrant Dragon!"

Darren's demolished Sean's monster taking his life points down to 1000

"And I'll get my Tyrant Dragon to wipe out your Airknight as well!"

Darren's monster again wiped out Sean's other monster and his life points dropped to 0. Sean walked off the field as Balfour arrived

"Darren buddy. Your run ends here"

"6 other people said that. And I sent them packing"

David drew five cards and he drew another card

"I place two cards face down, then I'll summon a monster face down in defence mode"

Darren drew

"I'll sacrifice my Darkfire Soldier to summon Flame Cerberus in attack mode"

"Bottomless Trap Hole"

"No!"

Darren's monster was destroyed

"No matter I'll destroy with the Tyrant Dragon! Attack now!"

Darren's monster creamed Dave's monster. It was flipped up and it turned out to be Bite shoes

"I will switch your Tyrant Dragon into defence mode then I will summon Octiclops in attack mode and a monster face down in defence mode"

Darren thought

`Ok let's not be…'

Darren shouted

"I'll place a card face down. I'll then play the Curse of Fiend to change the position of all monsters on the field. Tyrant Dragon, attack his monster now!"

`Rash'

Dave smiled

"You have activated my trap card, Magical Cylinder!"

The blast from Darren's monster went into one cylinder and it fired right back out at Darren's monster. Darren was stunned

"It's over already Darren!"
