Return of the Shadows-Beginning-Tournament Chapters 1-10

[Haou Devil 12]

Look, what i am trying to say is if you already wrote your chapters down, how can you fit them in 1 small comment box. For example "Chapter 1", it only says "Chapter 1" on there and nothing else, but when I click the "Click to view" button on it, the whole chapter appears on there and when I click the "Click to hide" button, its gone. How do you make it like that?

[Wolfy Eddy]

like this:
spoiler=Whatever you want to name it]

That is step 1

Step 2 is to close it with:

/spoiler

but make sure you put the brackets [] K?

Between these two "effects" you place whatever you want to put and then Kazam! You have a show/hide link.

like so (Click to View)

spoiler=like so
/spoiler
but they are not in brackets so it doesn't work.
when you do have the brackets, it does.

hope this helps.

[ragnarok1945]

I'll just ignore the spoiler and wait for the next one

[Wolfy Eddy]

I'm cursed! Since I have not connection cable connecting my AlphaSmart board to my computer...I MUST NOW REWRITE EVERY CHAPTER ON WORD!! Good thing is that at the least I can give ya'll a preview of what's to come.

On the next episode, Lupin and six other duelists are gathered on a small park. Each of them is to prove themselves ready for the semi-final duels! First up is Resha, a water duelist that cools down everyone from the summer heat. After her match is Hans, the Neo Neo-Spacian duelist. Will they win their matches and move on to the semi-finals? Stay tuner to find out.

[ragnarok1945]

after that you should try a 6 way battle royale just for the fun of it all

[Wolfy Eddy]

Hmmm, that might not be such a bad idea. It'll be a three part chapter though.

[ragnarok1945]

It's going to get a little hard if they gang up though. There's no way you can protect yourself for 5 turns

[Wolfy Eddy]

True...which is why a 3 way tag team doesn't sound so bad.

[ragnarok1945]

yeah but make sure to choose the teams randomly, so they can't always get the teammate they want

[Wolfy Eddy]

Yeah, cuz it wouldn't be fun if the good guys were always together. I'm a do a bit of a massive mix up. You guys will like it!

[ragnarok1945]

as long as you don't spend the whole duel with teams accusing each other one of their teammates is screwing up their whole plan

[Wolfy Eddy]

Chapter 7 is FINALLY transfered. Took this long for just one of these...

Chapter 7 (Click to View)

???: Is the duel disk ready, my minion?

Minion: Yes, sire. Are your going to test it?

???: No. These duel disks are a small gift to these talented individuals. There are a few duelist I want to test this deck against though. Have you sent the invitations and packages to them?

Minion: Why, yes, sire.

???: Good. Those kids will have a rough time against me, and this will shake them up pretty good.

Minion: And will make you stronger, sire!

???: Never speak like that in my presence

Minion: S-sorry, sire.

It was Saturday and there was nothing to do. Lupin sat bouncing a ball to the wall and then caught its rebound. He had broken the T.V. by accident and was having a giddy day. He was either think too much that it was making his head boil, or not thinking at all. He didn't like these days. There was a rustling sound coming from his sapartment door's mail slot. A card fell from the gold colored entrance. It was white and very plain. Lupin ignored it and kept bouncing the ball. Another rustling sound came through that same door. Seven letters slid out from the slot onto the welcome mat where the first letter had fallen into. There was a knock on the door, and then a loud muffled thump faded just outside his door.

Lupin: Curiosity killed the cat....

Lupin got up, bare foot, and picked up the letters. Then he opened his door and found a package in front of his apartment. It was medium sized and there wasn't anything out of the ordanary about it either. When he picked it up, he noticed that it was heavier than it looked, but Lupin managed the weight easily. He took it inside, spun, and kicked the door closed. A crash soon followed the door's slam from the kitchen. Lupin went to see what had happened and found a glass cup in the floor, shattered to a million peices.

Lupin: (Sigh) There goes another one...

He ignored the cup, deciding to clean it up later. He went to his bed and tossed the box open onto the sheets. A milieu of white popcorn balls and wrapping material came out. Just a few seconds later, a small silver colored orb rolled out of the box, landing next to his pillow. It seemed to radiate a glow of its own. Lupin removed the rest of the materials inside the box. It was a duel disk.

Lupin: What the...

The duel disk was very complex and looked very expensive. It was similar to the duel disk he had, but it was trimmed with a real silver lining and it had seven slots surrounding the blue poiwer jewel. He looked at the silver colored orb that was next to his pillow and picked it up.

Lupin: Somehow I know this thing goes in here.

Lupin placed the orb onto one of the slots. The duel disk began to buzz and then the orb shot out, hitting Lupin making him fall on his back. It landed on the bed again as Lupin got up to soothe his forhead.

Lupin: Ow...Why'd it...huh?

The seven slots began glowing separate colors; brown, purple, red, green, yellow, blue, and silver. The orb began glowing as well.

Lupin: Okay?

He rubbed his head a little more.

Lupin: Lets try again?

He picked up the orb and placed it on the silver glowing slot instead. The duel disk buzzed again, but Lupin stepped back, to make sure he didn't get his by the silver orb, again. The orb began to glow, getting brighter with each second. The duel disk activated and floated into the air. The glow began to expand and took the form and shape of Lupin himself.

Holo. Lupin: So, you're the one I must face. Very nice deck you had...

Lupin: What...who are you?

Holo. Lupin: I'm you, or at least a virtual replica of you. I'm just here to duel against my counter part. Win, and you get to keep this new deck and the duel disk. Lose, and we both go to the shadow realm.

Lupin: Say what?

Holo. Lupin: You're really off today aren't you. I challenge you to a duel. You never backed down from a duel before, so why is this any different? I'll be using your Lunar beasts.

Lupin: Any with what am I gonna duel you with?

Glowing light revolved around Lupin's arm formed to a hologram duel disk.

Holo. Lupin: You'll use your Ban'yuu Beasts.

Lupin: Fine.

Both of them went to the living room. It was the only room large enough for an indoor duel.

Both: Lets duel!

Turn 1) Lupin
I start things iff. I draw and summon Ban'yuu Beast-Star Rooster (WIND LV3, Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 350/150). Next, I activate Expanding Space: Extra Deck which increases my Extra Deck's size to 30 until the end of this duel. I need some extra cards so I play Celestial Contract and discard Ban'yuu Beast-Star Zombie (DARK LV3, Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 0/600) to draw 3 cards. I play 2 face downs and end my turn.
Lupin's Stats:
Life points: 8000
Hand: 3
Grave: 3
Spell/Trap: 2 face downs
Monster(s): Ban'yuu Beast-Star Rooster

Turn 2) Holo. Lupin
My turn. I draw and summon Lunar-Wolf-Volcano (FIRE LV4 Beast/Effect ATK/DEF: 1950/0) He's a bit different. I play the spell Double Summon and summon Lunar-Werewolf-Wildfire (FIRE LV4 Beast-Warrior/Effect ATK/DEF: 1800/1000). They both get their effects.

Lupin: What?

Holo. Lupin: I play Heavy Storm to destroy both of your cards and then play 1 card face down. Both my Volcano attacks you Rooster! (Lupin’s life points: 8000-1600=6400) Now I choose a random card from your hand and you discard it. Depending on its type I activate a certain effect. The far right…

Lupin discards a monster type card.

Holo. Lupin: You get to draw 2 cards and then you discard 1. Now my Wildfire attacks you directly. (6400-1800=4600) I end my turn.
Holo. Lupin's Stats:
Life points: 8000
Hand: 1
Grave: 2
Spell/Trap: 1 face down
Monster(s): Lunar-Wolf-Volcano, Lunar-Werewolf-Wildfire

Turn 3.) Lupin
My move! I draw! I too play Double Summon and summon both Ban’yuu Beast-Star Zombie (LV3 DARK Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 0/600) and Ban’yuu Beast-Star Eagle (LV3 WIND Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 600/0). Now I use them to Synchro Summon Celestial Beast (LV6 LIGHT Star/Synchro/Effect ATK/DEF: 2350/2100) Whenever this monster destroys monster(s) as a result of battle, I gain life points equal to half the destroyed monster’s ATK. Oh! And I activate my Zombie’s effect since he’s in the Extra Deck. I get to return 1 Spell or Trap card back to my hand! I now re-activate Celestial Contract and offer Ban’yuu Beast-Star Sheep (LV3 WATER Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 0/500) so I draw 3 cards! I play the spell Megamorph and equip it to my monster! (2350 x 2= 4700 ATK!!!) I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down! I play 1 card face down. My beast attacks your Volcano! (Holo. Lupin’s life points: 8000-2750=5250) I gain half of Volcano’s ATK points in life points. (4600+1000=5600). I end my turn.
Lupin’s Stats:
Life points: 5600
Hand: 0
Grave: 11
Spell/Trap: Megamorph, 1 face down
Monster(s): Celestial Beast

Turn 4.) Holo. Lupin
Your monster’s ATK is now halved since you have more life points than me. I draw. Now I summon Lunar-Ninja-Dusk (LV4 DARK Warrior/Effect ATK/DEF: 1850/1300) If he’s in ATK mode, he can’t be removed from play. I set 1 face down and end my turn.
Holo. Lupin's Stats:
Life points: 5250
Hand: 0
Grave: 4
Spell/Trap: 1 face down
Monster(s): Lunar-Werewolf-Wildfire, Lunar-Ninja-Dusk

Turn 5.) Lupin
I draw, and because I have Eagle in my Extra Deck, I can pay 500 life points to draw once again! (5600-500=5100) My monster’s ATK points double again! Now I play the spell Fate of the Worlds! The effect of all "Ban'yuu Beast" monsters either player has are doubled until the end of the duel. Costs to activate their effects are kept the same. This really helps me big time! I use my Zombie’s effect and get 2 cards instead of 1. I play the spell Double Summon again! I summon both Ban’yuu Beast-Star Ox (LV3 Earth Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 300/200) and Ban’yuu Beast-Star Fish (LV3 WATER Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 0/600). Now I use them to Synchro Summon Starlight Warrior (LV6 LIGHT Warrior/Synchro/Effect ATK/DEF: 0/1500) Once per turn, I can destroy 1 card for each Star-type monsters on my side of the field. If this card is destroyed by effect, return the monsters used to Synchro Summon this monster back to your side of the field. A great striker with no ATK power. I destroy your face down and Dusk! Now my Celestial Beast attacks your Wildfire! (Holo. Lupin’s lfie points: 5250-2900=2350) I gain 900 life points. (5100+900=6000)
Lupin’s Stats:
Life points: 6000
Hand: 0
Grave: 11
Spell/Trap: Megamorph, 1 face down

Holo. Lupin's Stats:
Life points: 2350
Hand: 0
Grave: 7
Spell/Trap: 1 face down
Monster(s): Lunar-Werewolf

Turn 7.) Lupin
Let’s end this. I draw and pay another 500 life points to draw 2 more cards. I use Zombie’s effect and gain 2 cards from my grave!
Then I gain 100 life points for each “Ban’yuu Beast” I have on my Extra Deck. I gain 400 life points. I use my warrior’s effect to destroy that face down. I play Double Summon once again to sacrifice both my monsters to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon (LV8 LIGHT Dragon ATK/DEF: 3000/2500) and Ban’yuu Beast-Star Rat (LV3 DARK Star/Tuner ATK/DEF: 250/250) I also play the spell Quick Summon to summon Star Warrior (LV4 LIGHT Star ATK/DEF: 1900/1500) I use them all to Synchro Summon Blue-Eyes Dust Dragon LV10 LIGHT Star / Synchro / Effect ATK/DEF: 3000/2500

Card Effect:
1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" + 1 Tuner monster of any level + 1 non-Tuner monster of any level
This card can be Synchro summoned without the levels of the monsters used to Synchro summon to add up equal to that of this card. When this card is Synchro summoned, the player who summoned this card discards his/her entire hand. Once per turn, you can activate two of the following effects:
● Draw 1 card.
● Discard 1 card from your hand to negate the effect of a card that targets a card on your side of the field and destroy it.
● During your main phase 1, gain 800 life points.

Lupin: It’s my first time summoning him. I attack you directly and end this duel!

Winner: Lupin
Loser: Holo. Lupin

Holo. Lupin Vanished and the duel disk dropped. Lupin picked up the cards and everything.

Lupin: Guess I can have these now.

Lupin fell asleep.

The next one might not take so long...but who knows...

[ragnarok1945]

Holo got what was coming to him. And great dueling

[Wolfy Eddy]

I'm going to have to start typing soon...anyways, the next chapter might not come for quite a while. My computer...is...umm...let's just say it does a lot of rashberries to me....

[ragnarok1945]

I know what you mean. Had it happen quite often with my PC before as well

[Wolfy Eddy]

Chapter 8 (Click to View)

It had been quite a while since Lupin had dueled anyone. He wondered if the tournament had been canceled or if they were just keeping him on his toes, waiting for him to let down his guard. He chose the latter so kept an aware eye when he was out on the streets. He had gottened dressed that cloudy morning and was making his way to the Summer Festival. The clouds were going away fairly quickly and the sun was steaming. The officers in the East Department had invited him to join them for a celebration for saving his step father's life. He couldn't say no to an opportunity like this.

The festival was filled with many water activities to cool off in the intense sun. Lupin had made sure that he brought some swiming shorts and goggles for the 200 yard pool race. He alse brought his new duel disk and his decks, just in case.

It was 2PM and the sun was baking everyone. Nobody noticed thought because of all the water and sunscreen. Lupin had finished 2nd place in the swimming competition and was awarded a few houndred dollars as well as an invitation to one of the restaurants and a liquor bottle. It was a rare liquor that was imported from Spain. He dressed himself and went to the restaurant.

At 2:15 PM, he had found the restaurant and found all of the East Police Department officials there. He was greated and the party began. Deserts were everywhere, main courses, lobsters, cool drinks, almost anything you could name was there. The party only lasted for about an hour. The place closed at 3:50. Everyone had a great time. When Lupin left, he noticed that there were quite a few hooded figures around the festival. He hurried to his rider, but was interrupted by two of the hooded figures.

H.F.1: Are you Lupin?

Lupin: What if I am?

H.F.2: Come with us.

Lupin: Why?

H.F.1: We could take you by force, but someone will probably get hurt and we don't want to make a scene.

Lupin saw the logic in that. He nooded and followed the figures. They got onto some motorcycles and Lupin got on his. He followed the figures to a park. It almost resembled a deserd due to all the sand. If there were cactus and no trees, it would've really been called a desert. Other figures started to show up along with a few duelists. There were six other duelists other than himself in the park.

Lupin: What's going on?

Hans: Yeah! What is going on, eh?

Lupin saw the guy who made that comment. He was at least 5'7", had red hair, was tanned, had a white T-shirt, some shorts and a duel disk. In the duel disk, the guy had a red orb. He noticed that all the non-hooded duelists had a different colored orb.

Resha: Man, it's hot in here...

Lupin saw the girl. She was black, had curves, was wearing shorts that were short enought and a cloth that went around her breast area, holding itself together on her upper back.It was the color blue and so were the shorts. Her orb in the duel disk was of the same color.

H.F.1: You are the seven finalists from the dueling grounds in here. You will not be facing each other...yet. You will each face one of us, randomly. If you win, you will get clearance to go to the final matches. This will happen as soon as everyone has dueled. Should you lose, however, you will lose everything you have.

The crowd stayed quiet.

H.F.3: We shall now start the matches. First up, Resha Vs. Joel.

Resha was lead to a small dueling arena. One of the hooded figures removed his hood and revealed a a very pale, very bony and very insane face. He resembled a non-painted version of the Joker. He laughed menacingly.

Joel: So I get the little girl first!

Resha: I ain't so little! I'll make sure you get a drink you will never forget.

Both got their duel disks ready.

Resha/Joel: Lets duel!

Turn 1) Resha
I draw! I think we all need some fresh water, don't you think? I play the field spell A Legendary Ocean!

The park began to over flood itself with water. Lupin saw that the blue orb in her duel disk was glowing. A massive castle rose from under her feet and water filled the park. The water rose upward, covering everyone over 100 feet of water. Everyone began to float but something was strange about this water. Everyone could still breathe. Resha floated down into her castle's thrown seat.

Resha: Well, I can see that everyone's refreshed. Now I summon Liquid Sniper (WATER LV5 (LV4) Fish/Effect ATK/DEF: 1900/1900). I can summon him because my field reduces the levels of all WATER attribute monster on either players' hand and field by 1. It also increases the ATK and DEF of all WATER monsters on the field by 200. Its name is also treated as "Umi". I activate the spell Aqua Flash! I can only activate this card while I control 1 level 4 or lower WATER attribute monster on my side of the field. I inflict damage equal to the ATK of my only monster to my opponent's life points! (Joel's life points: 8000-2100=5900) I play 1 card face down and end my turn.
Resha's Stats:
Life points: 8000
Hand: 2
Spell/Trap: 1 face-down
Monsters: Liquid Sniper
Grave: 1
Field: A Legendary Ocean

Turn 2.) Joel
Hahahahaha! I draw! Looks like you're not the only one with WATER monsters! I summon Freaky Fish (WATER LV5 (LV4) Fish ATK/DEF: 2450/1200). Now I activate Fish Flare! By tributing 1 Fish-type monster on my side of the field, I can inflict half of the tributed monster's ATK to my opponent's life points! Then I can Special Summon a monster from my hand or Deck that has the same level or lower than the tributed monster. Say hello to Mother Grizzly from my deck. (WATER LV4 (LV3) Beast-Warrior/Effect ATK/DEF 1400/1000) (Resha's life points: 8000-1300=6700) I play 1 card face down and it's youoouoouoououuur turn!
Joel's Stats:
Life points: 5900
Hand: 3
Spell/Trap: 1 face-down
Monsters: Mother Grizzly
Grave: 2 cards.
Field: A Legendary Ocean

Turn 3.) Resha
Not bad, for a creepy low life punk. I draw! Now I play the spell Double Summon to summon Sea Lily, Rose of Daedalus (WATER LV3 (LV2) Plant / Effect ATK/DEF 0/0). Now I tribute both my Lily and Sniper to summon Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus[/b]! (WATER LV8 (LV7) Sea Serpent/Effect ATK/DEF: 2900/1600)

Joel stares at one of the most powerful WATER creatures in dueling history.

Joel: How did you summon him, without Levia?!?!?!?!

Resha: My Lily's effect. If "Umi" is on the field, this card's name is treated as "Levia-Dragon - Daedalus" and if I control another WATER level 4 or higher monster, I can tribute this card and another WATER monster to Special Summon "Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus" from my hand or Graveyard. Now I send "A Legendary Ocean" to the Graveyard, to send all cards on the field and in our hands to the Graveyard except itself!

All cards on Joel's side of the field and hand go to the Graveyard. All of Resha's cards remain on the field.

Joel: Why do you still have your cards?!

Resha: Beacuse I activated my face-down trap [u]Gift of Atlantis! I can only activate this card when either "Levia-Dragon - Daedalus" or "Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus" activates their effect. I pay half my life points and in turn, all cards on my side of the field and hand are not sent to the Graveyard by that card's effect. "Umi" is then returned to the field after the monster's effect resolves. If my trap didn't have that effect, I could return my field using my Liquid Snipereffect. If I remove him and another WATER monster from my Graveyard, I activate "Umi" from my Graveyard. Now you're wide open! My Ocean Lord, attack him directly! (5900-3100=2900)
Resha's Stats:
Life points: 3350
Hand: 0
Spell/Trap: 0 face-down
Monsters: Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus
Grave: 5
Field: A Legendary Ocean

Turn 4.) Joel
This is going to be almost pointless. I draw and play 1 card face down. End turn.
Joel's Stats:
Life points: 2900
Hand: 0
Spell/Trap: 1 face-down
Monsters: 0 monsters
Grave: 7 cards.
Field: A Legendary Ocean

Turn 5.) Resha
You are so right. I use my Dragon lord's effect and send all cards to the Graveyard. Now Ocean, finish him!

Joel vanishes within moments.

[ragnarok1945]

the major problem of physical appearance. For some reason your opponents always underestimate you

[Wolfy Eddy]

Actually, the master is observing. These are his weaklings. Everyone is basically gonna win their duels but the reason for this is because he needed more information about their decks. As soon as the real finals begin, these duels will actually be 2 to maybe 3 part epics. There is gonna be a qualification round, and underground duel (The tag team duel you told me) after their matches.

[ragnarok1945]

Ah, so it's all a matter of info collecting. Still, you'd think the master wouldn't sacrifice his pawns just for that

[Wolfy Eddy]

He's heartless, go figure.
PS: Take a look a the written card thread: Piece monsters
