Mountain - A Hopeful Aftermath...?

[Ninetalesuk]

@greiger@

"W-Who are you...?!" He gawked.

@vizor@

"...I am an ally..." He said. "...go and help the others... I'll deal with him..."

And to prove his point, he drove in between Greiger and Lawton...

@vizor@

"I am your opponent..." He said to Lawton...

[kelik]

@lawton@ "...interesting." He said. "I've never seen a runner like that...if you have such a good runner, you must be a skilled duelist." He smirked. "Fine. I'm game!" His Speed World program changed his target from Greiger to Vizor, and his deck reshuffled.

[Ninetalesuk]

Speed World 2 activated. Duel Mode Activate.



If a player activates a non-"Speed Spell" Spell Card, they take 2000 damage. Except during the first turn of the Duel, during each player's Standby Phases, each player places 1 Speed Counter of their own on this card (max. 12 each). You can remove any number of your Speed Counters from this card to activate an appropriate effect:
● 4: Reveal any number of "Speed Spell" Spell Cards in your hand, and inflict 800 damage to your opponent for each card revealed.
● 7: Draw 1 card.
● 10: Destroy 1 card on the field.

@vizor@

He drew his hand...

[dice=5][dice=5][dice=5][dice=5][dice=5]

@vizor@

...before looking at Greiger. "Go!"

@greiger@

"...thank you!" And rode off...

@vizor@

"I shall start the Duel off!" He drawing a card.

[kelik]

@lawton@ "Tch, fine..." He drew.

[dice=5] [dice=5] [dice=5] [dice=5] [dice=5]

@lawton@ 'You have no idea what you just got yourself into, boy...' He thought, as he looked at a certain card in his hand. 'When my turn comes around, I'll destroy you.'[rand=37429747032001615458897873060777829672907013446096077652352396399]

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

"I summon T.G. Cyber Magician!!" He said, slapping a card down.



@vizor@

"I now conduct a Synchro Summon with a monster from my hand!!!"

[kelik]

@lawton@ "From your hand, no way?!" He looked surprised at that declaration.

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

"Cyber Magician's ability! When using this card as a Synchro Material Monster, the other non-Tuner Synchro Material Monsters can be sent from your hand!" He said, holding up a card. "I shall use T.G. Rush Rhino from my hand!"



Cyber Magician became a green ring before Rush Rhino went through it as four orbs...

@vizor@

"Synchro Flight Control! Limiter Removal, Level Five, Booster Injection 120%. Recovery Network Range Updated! All Clear! Go!" He chanted. "Synchro Summon! Come on! Tech Genus Power Gladiator!"

[kelik]

@lawton@ He frowned. "A Synchro Summon on your first turn...gotta admit, that ain't bad..."

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

"I end my turn."

[kelik]

@lawton@ "I draw!"

[dice=5]

@lawton@ He simply grinned at that and laughed. "Well, it's a real shame, but this duel is mine...I summon Gatling Ogre!"



@lawton@ He held his hand up. "And this next bit may come as a surprise, but..."[rand=97228026436641818899406373966485876736961770802704381530289538205]

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

He frowned. "But...?"

[kelik]

@lawton@ "I set the rest of my hand down." So he did.

And suddenly, the ogre's arm belt filled up with bullets, and the ogre's grin was large.

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

He narrowed his eyes. "....what's this?!"

[kelik]

@lawton@ "I'll tell you...by sending a card in my spell and trap zone to the grave, I can deal 800 points of damage to you. By sending all 5 down...you lose 4000 life points!" He smirked. "This is my "One Turn Kill" move, and no one survives it. Maybe you shouldn't have taken your friend's place..." He thrust his hand out. "Now...FIRE!!!"

As all 5 cards vanished...

The ogre turned the crank, and unleashed a fatal barrage.

[Ninetalesuk]

(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!)

And boy, was there a massive explosion as it struck the mysterious Duelist...

[kelik]

@lawton@ He chuckled to himself. "Mmm, this has always been the best way to end a duel..."

[Ninetalesuk]

However...

...the Duel Runner came out of the smoke...

@vizor@

...as he scowled. "Such a reckless tactic..."

VIZOR
LP: 4000 V 2000

[kelik]

@lawton@ "?!" His jaw dropped. "T.this can't be! I sent 5 cards to my grave! You should have lost everything! How are you still alive?!"

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

He pointed to his field... where a sort of humanoid, cyborg lioness was kneeling on the ground... "T.G. Defense Lioness!"

T.G. Defense Lioness
Earth/LV3/Beast/Effect
If your opponent activates a card effect that would deal damage on you, you pay half of your LP to negate the effect damage and Special Summon this card in DEF mode. Any effect damage, as long as this card remains face-up on the field, is 0This card can also be treated as a Machine-Type monster.
ATK/ 900
DEF/1400

[kelik]

@lawton@ "N.no...you...stopped my one turn kill..." He was shocked. In all of his time dueling with this deck, he had never come across another tactic that could stop his skill...

The one card he knew that could counter his ogre was an Effect Veiler. But those were extremely rare and hard to find. Even then, it only delayed it by a turn.

And now this duelist had a card that could stop all damage for the duel as long as it's out...

@lawton@ Naturally...Lawton was pissed. "...you seem to have more skill than I thought."

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

"I thank you..." He said, although he didn't really mean it.

[kelik]

@lawton@ "Tch! Don't pat yourself on the back yet! I'm not done yet!" He thrust his arm out. "I activate a trap in my grave!"

Trap Card: Destruction and Renewal
You may only activate this card in your grave if it was sent from the field to the grave by a card effect the turn it was set, and if your hand is empty. Banish all cards from your grave, including this one. Draw 3 cards.

@lawton@ "I banish my entire grave to draw half a hand!"

[kelik]

@lawton@ "Another Tuner monster...are you planning another Synchro Summon?" He looked over at his only option. 'If he does with his tigress, I can deal effect damage again...'

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

"Level 2 T.G. Striker with Level 3 T.G. Defense Lioness, Tuning!!"

Striker became two green rings with Defense Lioness becoming three white orbs...

@vizor@

"Limiter Removal, Level Five. Booster Launch, OK! Inclination, OK! Ground Support! All Clear! Go!" He chanted. "Synchro Summon! Come on! Tech Genus Wonder Magician!"

[kelik]

@lawton@ This only made him smirk. "Your defense against Gatling Ogre is gone now."

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

He held up a card. "Speed Spell - Angel Baton activate! I draw two card and discard one!"

He drew two...

[dice=5][dice=5]

...and discarded the drawn monster.

@vizor@

"Battle!!! Wonder Magician attacks your ogre!!"

And she did...[rand=8050096738904721168257690198604261229707386997851422883067310953809]

[kelik]

@lawton@ "I don't think so!" He thrust his arm out.



@lawton@ "I choose to protect Gatling Ogre!"

Suddenly, an aura of light appeared around the ogre...however Lawton wasn't entirely safe.

@lawton@ "Tch!" He took some damage.

LP: 4000 - 1100 = 2900

[Ninetalesuk]

@vizor@

"In that case, I'll have my gladator attack!!!"

His other Synchro monster grunted and struck...

[kelik]

The axe bounced off the ogre...

@lawton@ But the sparks flew in his direction. "Guh!" He slid back a bit.

LP: 2900 - 1500 = 1400

@lawton@ "Heh...you came a bit short..."
