Chaos Universe: The Unknown Past Ch. 1 - 56 (Chapter 47: The Lion, the witch, and the Duel!) has arrived

[Haou Devil 12]

Didn't I just say that Rein is human?

[Mystery Guest]

I don't think so. But that doesn't really eliminate any possibilities. Plus, is the Dark One supposed to be not human?

[Haou Devil 12]

Yes, she's part of the Duel Monster Realm too. And Rein is a friend and he's human just like Nick.

Chapter 13 is updated. Please read and comment.

[ragnarok1945]

still as effective dueling as ever

[Haou Devil 12]

Chapter 13 is done and Chapter 14 is up, but not finished. Please read, rate, and comment.

[Mystery Guest]

Grandmaster of the Six Samurai must be working for either the Dark One or Great Shogun Shien. Either way, good dueling.

[ragnarok1945]

Your dueling remains superb, Haou Devil 12. I look forward to more

[Haou Devil 12]

Chapter 14 is finished. Please read and comment and if you want to rate this thread that would be nice.

[ragnarok1945]

thanks, as soon as I can find which page you put it on

[Haou Devil 12]

It's page 5.

[ragnarok1945]

you REALLY need to make Nick lose a duel soon, or his ego may inflate too much

[Haou Devil 12]

Wait a minute. He said those words to protect his friend. Not because he wanted to win. Alright how about this, in chapter 16 Nick loses to one of the Dark One controlled minions, but he's not taken to her. He will be knocked out when he loses.

[ragnarok1945]

fair enough, I just want to see him lose now

[Haou Devil 12]

Here's Chapter 15 everyone. Enjoy.

Chapter 15 (Click to View)

The next day, Nick woke up and got ready for School. They got on the bus and headed to School.

"You ready for your big Duel with Rein today?" asked Cody.

"Am I ever." said Nick. "I spent half the night thinking of strategies to use in the Duel. After all I have seen Rein Duel before."

While they were talking, an easedropping Zane overhears their conversation.

"So Cunningham & Wolf boy are having a friendly Duel." said Zane under his breath. "This is the perfect oppritunity I have been waiting for. All I have to do is drive a wedge between their friendship before the Duel, then during the Duel, i'll be watching from the sidelines looking at them killing each other. This also gives me the oppritunity to make my move on Rachel. Once she sees them tearing each other apart, she'll start crying and might need someone to comfort her, then she'll leave them and will start crawling to me. It's the perfect plan i've ever come up with."

They arrived at School. After 2 hours, Zane put his plan into action.

"So what strategy are you planning to use on Rein?" asked Rachel.

"Well..." said Nick until...

"Hello Rachel." said Zane nicely. "(angrily) Hello Cunningham."

"What do you want Zane?" asked Nick.

"And it better be good." said Rachel.

"Come on, baby." said Zane. "This is only once in a lifetime you get to go out with Zane Masterson. All girls adore me. Isn't that right ladies?"

"I LOVE YOU!!" screamed the girls in the class.

"But there's only one girl I must have in my life." said Zane. "And Rachel... That girl is you, baby. And besides, why do you want to pick Cunningham?! I mean look at him."

Zane grabbed the top of Nick's head and stealthily grabbed one of his cards from his back pocket. And the card was his favorite card "Zeo The Chaos Warrior".

("Excellent. Cunningham's prize card." thought Zane. "Now to make the switch.")

"Get your hands off me!" said Nick as he swatted Zane's hands off.

"Go away Zane! Now!" yelled Rachel.

"Fine! I STILL LOVE YOU WOMAN!" yelled Zane as he walked out the room. ("Suckers!" thought Zane.)

Next, Rein came walking up the hall to the classroom, until Zane stopped him.

"Unless you want to be knocked out again, I suggest you move." said Rein.

"I don't want to fight." said Zane. "I just want to talk. Come with me."

Zane put his arm around his shoulder like one of his friends, then stealthily reached Rein's back pocket and took 4 of his cards, then planted "Zeo The Chaos Warrior" in Rein's pocket. After a few minutes, Rein got sick of talking to him and hurried to the classroom.

("Alright, now to stuff his cards in Cunningham's locker and my plan will be complete." thought Zane.)

Nick and the gang talked about the strategy Nick's gonna use against Rein.

"Then I'm gonna top it all off with Zeo... Huh?" said Nick.

"What's wrong?" asked Cody.

"It's Zeo." said Nick. "I can't find him."

"What do you mean?" asked Rein.

"Oh hey Rein." said Nick. "It's Zeo. I looked in my Deck and can't find him."

"Really?" asked Rein as he took out his Deck. "I hope I didn't lose any of my cards. Uh?!"

Then "Zeo The Chaos Warrior" fell from Rein's Deck.

"Why did Zeo fall out of your Deck?" asked Nick all suspicious.

Zane was looking from the doorway.

("It's working." thought Zane.)

"Dude, I swear I don't know how he got there." said Rein as he counted his cards. "Wait a minute, i'm losing some cards as well. Do YOU know anything about it Nick?"

"Don't try and change the fact that you stole Zeo from my Deck when you went to the restroom." said Nick.

"I didn't steal Zeo from your Deck." said Rein. "Now tell me where you put my cards!"

Zane walks in the room.

"Are you talking about the cards Nick put in his locker?" asked Zane.

"What?!" yelled Nick.

"The truth says it all." said Rein.

"I don't have your cards in my locker and i'll prove it." said Nick. "Let's go to it right now!"

"Fine." said Rein.

Nick and everyone went to his locker and dialed in his combination.

"See?" said Nick. "Your cards are not..."

Just then Rein's cards flew out of Nick's locker.

"You did take them!" yelled Rein.

"I did not!" yelled Nick.

"Guys, guys!" said Rachel breaking them up. "Please don't fight. Please?"

"Alright then." said Rein. "We'll settle this in P.E. by dueling."

"Fine by me!" yelled Nick.

"FINE!" yelled Rein.

"FINE!" yelled Nick.

They both walked back to the classroom angry. Rachel and Cody were confused and Zane was as happy as ever.

("Yes! It worked!" thought Zane. "My plan worked! Now for the big finale.")

Next period was P.E. and they were outside today.

"What's going on?" asked a boy.

"Nick and Rein got into a huge fight and they're going to settle things with a Duel." said another boy.

"Wow, this I gotta see." said a third boy.

"What are we gonna do Rachel?" asked Cody.

"I don't know." said Rachel. "We might as well hope for the best."

Zane was listening to them talk.

("Yes. That's it." thought Zane. "Watch as the two most important people in your life rip each other to shreds.")

"You have one more chance to apoligize for stealing Zeo!" yelled Nick.

"I didn't steal him!" yelled Rein. "And you have one more chance to apoligize for stealing my cards and stuffing them in your locker!"

"It wasn't me!" yelled Nick. "That does it!"

"Bring it on!" yelled Rein.

Duel!
Nick/ 5 cards/ LP 8000
Rein/ 5 cards/ LP 8000

Rein: Turn 1
Since i'm the challenger AND the one telling the truth, I get to go first. I draw. I play the Field Spell "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise". Next, I activate "Double Summon", so I get to summon twice this turn, so I summon "Lunar-Wolf-Ocean"(LV4/WATER/Beast/Effect/ATK/0 DEF/1950) and "Lunar-Werewolf-Frost"(LV4/WATER/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK/1000 DEF/1800) Now I activate "Lunar-Wolf-Ocean"(s) effect, since "Lunar-Werewolf-Frost" is on the field, once per turn, I gain 200 LP for each on my field with "Lunar" or "Wolf" in their name, so I gain 400 LP. (Rein: LP 8400) Now I activate my Field Spell's effect, by tributing "Lunar-Wolf-Ocean" and "Lunar-Werewolf-Frost", I can Fusion Summon "Lunar-Guardian-Mist"(LV6/WATER/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/1400 DEF/2600). And thanks to my field's other effect, he gains 200 ATK & DEF. (1400 + 200 = 1600 ATK/ 2600 + 200 = 2800 DEF) Now I activate "Lunar-Guardian-Mist"(s) effect, when he is successfully summoned, he is switched to Defense position. I play 1 card face-down and end my turn. And at the End Phase of my turn, if "Lunar-Guardian-Mist" is in Defense position at the End Phase of my turn, I gain 1000 LP. (Rein: LP 9400)

Nick/ 5 cards/ LP 8000
Rein/ 1 card/ LP 9400
Field: "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise"

Nick: Turn 2
I draw. And you're not telling the truth. I also play "Double Summon", so I summon "Chaos Spirit Lava"(LV4/FIRE/Spirit/Effect/ATK/1600 DEF/1000) and "Chaos Spirit Searon"(LV3/FIRE/Spirit/Effect/ATK/600 DEF/800). You're gonna pay for stealing Zeo traitor! Now "Chaos Spirit Lava" and "Chaos Spirit Searon" use "Spirit Cross Fusion" to summon "Chaos Spirit Inferno"(LV6/FIRE/Spirit/Fusion/Effect/ATK/2100 DEF/1500) and thanks to his effect, once per turn, I can select 1 Spell or Trap from my Deck and set it face-down on the field and thanks to his other effect, he gains 300 ATK & DEF for each Spell & Trap Card on the field, so he gains 600 ATK & DEF. (2100 + 600 = 2700 ATK/ 1500 + 600 = 2100 DEF) Now I activate my face-down "Quick Summon", so I can summon another monster from my hand and I summon "Zeo-Nexus The Chaos Warrior"(LV4/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1900 DEF/1500). Now "Zeo-Nexus The Chaos Warrior" and "Chaos Spirit Inferno" use "Cross Fusion" to summon "Zeo The Inferno Chaos Warrior"(LV8/FIRE/Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/2800 DEF/2400) and thanks to his effect, he gains 400 ATK & DEF for each Spell & Trap Card in my Graveyard and since there are 2, he gains 800 ATK & DEF. (2800 + 800 = 3600 ATK/ 2400 + 800 = 3200 DEF) and once per turn, I can activate 2 Spell or Trap Cards from my Deck, so I activate "Direct Attack" and "Secondary Strike", so I get to attack you directly and destroy your "Lunar-Guardian-Mist". Now face the power of the Chaos Realm! "Zeo The Inferno Chaos Warrior" attack his "Lunar-Guardian-Mist". And don't forget, since "Direct Attack" and "Secondary Strike" are in my Graveyard, he gains an extra 800 ATK & DEF. (3600 + 800 = 4400 ATK/ 3200 + 800 = 4000 DEF) (Rein counters: I activate "Lunar-Guardian-Mist"(s) effect, when he's destroyed, I can Special Summon 1 of the monsters used to Fusion Summon him from my Graveyard, so come on back "Lunar-Wolf-Ocean"(LV4/WATER/Beast/Effect/ATK/0 DEF/1950). Next, I activate my trap known as "Wolf Parade". It can only be activated if I successfully summon a "Lunar" monster. And thanks to its effect, I pay 3000 LP (Rein: LP 6400) to Special Summon 2 Fusion "Lunar" monsters from my Fusion/ Extra Deck, so I summon "Lunar-Guardian-Dawn"(LV6/LIGHT/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK/2000 DEF/2000) and "Lunar-Guardian-Desert"(LV6/EARTH/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK/2400 DEF/1600). But now I can attack you directly thanks to the effect of "Direct Attack". (Rein: LP 2000) Before my Battle Phase ends, I activate the Quick-Play Spell "Crossout", so I de-fuse "Zeo The Inferno Chaos Warrior" to Special Summon "Zeo The Chaos Warrior"(LV7/LIGHT/Warrior/Effect/ATK/2500 DEF/2200) and since it's still my Battle Phase, I can attack again, so "Zeo" destroy his "Lunar-Guardian-Dawn". You're lucky you had him in Defense position, so I end my turn.

Nick/ 0 cards/ LP 8000
Rein/ 1 card/ LP 2000
Field: "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise"

Rein: Turn 3
Grrr! I draw! Now I switch "Lunar-Guardian-Desert" to Attack position. (ATK: 2400) And thanks to "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise", he gains 200 ATK & DEF. (2400 + 200 = 2600 ATK/ 1600 + 200 = 1800 DEF) Next, I summon "Lunar-Swordsman-Tempest"(LV4/WIND/Warrior/Effect/ATK/1100 DEF/1000) And thanks to my field's effect, both "Ocean" and "Tempest" gain 200 ATK & DEF. ("Ocean": 200 + 0 = 200 ATK/ 1950 + 200 = 2150 DEF) ("Tempest": 1100 + 200 = 1300 ATK/ 1000 + 200 = 1200 DEF) Now I activate "Lunar-Swordsman-Tempest"(s) effect, by paying 650 LP, (Rein: LP 1350) I can destroy 1 card on the field and I choose your most precious monster, "Zeo The Chaos Warrior"! (Nick says: No! It wasn't enough for you steal him. Now you end up destroying him!) I'm going to make you eat those words after this. Next, I play the spell "Pot of Greed", so I draw 2 cards. (Rein: Hand: 2) Next, I activate another "Pot of Greed", so I can draw 2 cards again. (Rein: Hand: 3) Now I equip "Lunar-Swordsman-Tempest" with "Lunar-Moon-Light of life", "Lunar-Teams", and "Lunar Moon Fang". (quote: This card is from Chapter 5.) First, "Lunar-Moon-Light of life" gives him a 300 ATK point boost. (1300 + 300 = 1600 ATK) Second, "Lunar-Teams" gives him 500 ATK. (1600 + 500 = 2100 ATK) And finally, "Lunar Moon Fang" gives him 400 ATK for each monster except itself with "Lunar" or "Wolf" in their name. (2100 + 800 = 2900 ATK) Next, I switch "Lunar-Wolf-Ocean" to Attack position. (ATK: 200) Now eat this traitor! All of you attack him directly! (Nick: LP 2300) Now I activate "Lunar-Guardian-Desert"(s) effect, once per turn, I draw 1 card from my Deck. I play 1 card face-down and end my turn.

"Why won't you just admit that you tried to throw me off my game by stealing my cards?!" yelled Rein.

"Because I didn't!" yelled Nick. "And why won't you just admit that you tried to use Zeo in your Deck by stealing him from mine?!"

"Because "I" didn't!" yelled Rein.

"REIN!!" yelled Nick.

"NICK!!" yelled Rein.

Rachel's eyes start to water.

"Please stop." said Rachel tearing up. "Please stop fighting."

"Yes! It worked." said Zane to himself. "Now it's time to make my move."

Zane starts to walk over to Rachel until...

"Grrrrr!" growled Nick & Rein. "(snickering) Heh, heh, heh, heh. (burst out laughing) Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" laughed Nick & Rein.

"Ha, ha, ha. Whoo!" laughed Nick. "He really had us going, did he?"

"Heh, heh. Yeah." said Rein.

"What the?" said Zane. "What are you doing?! Why aren't you two killing each other?!"

"Aw, shut it Zane." said Nick. "We all knew it was you from the beginning."

"Wait, you mean from..." said Zane.

"That's right. Since we got on the bus." said Rein.

"But how?!" yelled Zane.

"Let's just say a friend of ours told us." said Nick.

("HA! Take that freak!" said Z as a Duel Spirit. "That's what you get from messing with my friends and planning to steal my dad!")

Flashback:

("You ready for your big Duel with Rein today?" asked Cody.)

("Am I ever." said Nick. "I spent half the night thinking of strategies for the Duel. After all I have seen Rein Duel before.")

Just then, Z came out of his card and started looking around the bus, then saw Zane hearing their conversation.

("So Cunningham & Wolf boy are having a friendly Duel." said Zane under his breath. "This is the perfect oppritunity I have been waiting for.")

(("Oh it is, is it?!" thought Z.))

Then Z flew over to Rein and told him to move up to where Nick and them are, then Z flew behind Nick and stuck his head through Nick's chest so he could tell everyone what Zane is planning.

("Z. What are you doing?" asked Nick. "If people see you, they're gonna think i'm a demon and kill me along with every body else in the Deck.")

("Alright." said Z. "I called Rein over here to tell all of you that Zane is planning to mess up your friendship and get with Rachel again.")

("Figures." said Rachel.)

So Z told them everything Zane said.

("So he's gonna do that, huh?" said Nick. "Hmm. Smart, real smart, but not smart enough. I say we go along with this just until during the Duel and then...")

("Then what, Nick?" asked Rein.)

("Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Nick. "Let's just say I have a job for you.")

The story continues:

"What was the job?" asked Zane timidly.

"Our holographic monster can attack on and also off the field." said Nick. "Oh yeah, Rachel can I have those fake tear drops back."

"Sure, here you go." said Rachel as she stops fake crying.

"WHAT THE?!" yelled Zane. "Wait a minute, what do you mean "off the field"?"

"Rein?" asked Nick.

"Sic 'em boys!" said Rein as he ordered his monsters to attack Zane.

Rein's monsters ran from the battle field and started going after Zane.

"AAAAAAAAHH!!" screamed Zane.

"Well, I think that's enough." said Nick. "Call them back."

"All right! He's suffered enough!" said Rein as his monsters ran back to the field. "Alright, let's get back to the Duel. Your turn."

"Don't worry. I'll end this quick." said Nick.

Nick/ 0 cards/ LP 2300
Rein/ 0 cards/ LP 1350
Field: "Wolf Forest-Canis Paradise"

Nick: Turn 4
I draw. I play the spell "Pot of Greed", so I draw 2 cards. (Nick: Hand: 2) Now I play the spell "Chaotic Revival", with this card, I can Special Summon 1 "Chaos Spirit" or "Zeo The Chaos Warrior" from my Graveyard, so come on back "Zeo". (ATK: 2500) Now "Zeo The Chaos Warrior" destroy his "Lunar-Wolf-Ocean" and end this! (Rein counters: I activate the Continuous Trap "Lunar Barrier", first, this card lets me negate your attack and by removing from play 1 "Lunar" monster from my Deck, I can end the Battle Phase, so I remove "Lunar-Wolf-Volcano(LV4/FIRE/Beast/Effect/ATK/1950 DEF/0) from play.) Well, I guess all that's left is to play this. The Quick-Play Spell "Quick Trap", I can activate a trap card from my Deck, so I activate "Ring of Destruction". I told you I was gonna end it quick. And the monster I choose for destruction is "Zeo", so what do you say buddy? You wanna go out with a bang? (Zeo says: It would be a pleasure.) Alright! You ready Rein? (Rein says: Always.) Alright! "Zeo", let's end this!!

Nick: LP 0/ Tie
Rein: LP 0/ Tie

"Guess it all ended in a tie huh?" asked Rein.

"Yeah. But hey, we had fun." said Nick. "And we got to terrify Zane in the process."

"I'll get you Cunningham." said Zane shaking in fear. "And I STILL LOVE YOU RACHEL!!"

Nick and everyone returned home. Then late at night, something called Nick outside to Duel him.

"Nick Cunningham, come and face me." said a voice.

Nick got his Duel Disk and went outside and then he saw him.

"No... Not you." said Nick.

"Yes, Nick and I have been ordered to destroy you by my master the Dark one." said the voice.

"Not you, Neos. Not you." said Nick. "If I have to Duel to bring you back, i'll do anything it takes."

"Shall we begin?" said Neos.

"Bring it." said Nick.

Card of the Day: "Chaotic Revival"

Nick and Rein's Duel was a tie, but i'm afraid bigger problems are just about to begin when Nick's old friend Neos drops by his house with a Black vein on his chest. "Next Chapter"! Nick vs. Neos, a battle between Contact Fusion and Cross Fusion. Will Nick defeat and save his friend, or fail and be taken to the Dark one? Find out next time. Until then, KEEP ON DUELING!!
