* [Shiei] putting about, sighing, hands in pockets.
* Seiji putting about, in the city, yes? There seems to be some commotion going on nearby, while you mope
* [Shiei] ...?
* [Shiei] looks up, toddling to the commotion.
* Seiji a duel is going on, and you just toddled up in time to see some poor sap get bowled over by a giant three-headed dog
<[Shiei]> ?!
* Seiji the one who won-- it looks like a relative of yours?-- gives a derisive huff. they look like they haven't slept for the past day or two.
<Seiji> Too easy... That was too easy, you know! Isn't there anyone here who could actually better me in this?!
* [Shiei] ugh, family, except Grandpa, Mom and Father.
* Seiji his opponent gets up and scrambles away, stumbling all the while. something about that dog's spooked him
<[Shiei]> ...
<[Shiei]> You seem in an awful hurry to get into a fight.
<Seiji> *looks at Shiei, as soon as he speaks* Ah. Looks like we have the next challenge.
* Seiji uh-oh, Shiei
<[Shiei]> Eh??
<Seiji> You. *points right at you* Step up.
<[Shiei]> I didn't challenge you. ::Waves hands non aggressively::
<[Shiei]> Why?
<Seiji> Only folks around here are the ones waiting for a challenge. Isn't that right? *there's talk of agreement around the crowd. A few of them go ahead and push you forward*
<Seiji> So I can only assume you're looking for a challenge.
* [Shiei] irk!
<Seiji> Besides, you look like you could use some excitement.
<[Shiei]> ... Not really.
<[Shiei]> ...On either account but it looks like I have no choice...
* [Shiei] slides on a Duel Disk sighing
* Seiji you definitely don't. The crowd has formed a pretty tight circle.
* Seiji you'd literally have to dive under the legs to get through and that'd probably ruin your clothes and hurt
* Seiji ... this guy... actually does look kinda familiar to you, even for Samasu standards. he looks like that sour fellow who hangs out with your grandfather.
<Seiji> We'll start with introductions. *he gestures to himself.* Seiji. *he gestures to you, waiting*
<[Shiei]> ... Shiei.
<Seiji> *he nods, activating his duel disk* Well then, Shiei... Let's have an exciting duel.
<Seiji> I'll start!
* Seiji draws five cards
* [Shiei] ... I don't think Seiji is the morose guy's name.
<[Shiei]> ... Exciting....
* Seiji nah, that guy's name is definitely starting with a "shi" sound.
* Seiji but he looks like he must be closely related
<Seiji> First turn, go! Activate Dark World Dealings! *he draws* I'll discard Snoww, Unlight of Dark World. She activates, letting me add Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World to my hand!
* Seiji pitches the card, as a new one appears in his hand
<[Shiei]> ... Ugh, Dark World, not fond of that.
<Seiji> Really. They're what I've started out with. I only really started playing a couple months ago. *t-that recently? yet he seems to have demanded quite a bit of attention here.* I'll summon Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World, and end my turn. (1600 ATK)
<[Shiei]> You must be a prodigy to have gotten that good.
<[Shiei]> Draw
<[Shiei]> Reinforcement of the Army, I add Laval Cannon to my hand.
<[Shiei]> Magical Stone Excavation! ::A card with purple stones appears:: I discard Laval Judgment Lord and Burial from a Different Dimension, and then choose to recover Burial from a Different Dimension.
* Seiji ... now why would he do that, just to recover the card he just tossed? Huh.
<[Shiei]> Normal Summon Laval Blaster from my hand. Since I have a Laval Monster in my Grave, I can declare a number from 1 to 5, I declare 5!
* [Shiei] pulls the top 5 cards of his Deck., fanning them. "Card Destruction, Evigishki Mind Augus, Gishki Vision, Gishki Shadow and Needlebug Nest" ... "I end my turn." ::Heavily sighs.::
<Seiji> Didn't get what you wanted, huh?
<Seiji> Draw!
<Seiji> I activate the field spell, Gates of Dark World! *a large gate forms behind him, opening up with a great light, as the ground below them turns into a craggy rock surface, broken up in places here and there. You would not want to fall down.*
* Seiji Beiige seems to get stronger from the presence of the gate. (1900 ATK)
<Seiji> Now. I set one monster, and then activate Dark World Lightning! I destroy my set monster. *a poor Ceruli* I discard Goldd after that. Special summon him! (2600 ATK monstrosity)
* [Shiei] winces.
<Seiji> But that's not all. I use the Gates of Dark World's effect! I banish the Ceruli in the graveyard, and then discard a Sillva, Warlord of Dark World in my hand, before drawing! *draws, as Sillva appears on the field, with a similar attack score.*
* [Shiei] this is going to sting.
<[Shiei]> ...
* [Shiei] this going to really sting.
<Seiji> However... Sillva and Goldd are nothing more than materials. They're not the stars of this show!
<Seiji> Construct the Overlay Network!
* [Shiei] stands stunned
<Seiji> The great three-headed dog of the underworld, Cerberus in all but name! XYZ Summon, Number 14! Greedy Sarameya! *oh god it's a Number. Oh god it's that dog! ... but it seems a bit less... fierce looking than the one that bowled that guy over. (2500 ATK)*
<[Shiei]> Eh? But you could of dealt a ton of damage...!
<[Shiei]> With Goldd and Sillva...
* [Shiei] ... ugh that thing doesn't look good anyways though...
<Seiji> Like I said. They're not the stars of the show. It wouldn't do good to push you over the edge, before the real star has the chance to arrive.
<[Shiei]> ...
* [Shiei] a roundabout way of thinking.
<Seiji> In interest of being fair. I know a card like this is... special. So you should know three things! *he holds up his index finger.* One! Greedy Sarameya can't be destroyed by battle. *another finger* Two! Greedy Sarameya's effect means that all effect damage is rebounded back to you. *one more finger* And three! Greedy Sarameya is still not the main attraction.
* Seiji so there's... something bigger waiting in the wings?
<[Shiei]> ... ::Quirks eyebrow, and looks down at his Graeyard, so I can't use Judgment Lord...::
* [Shiei] except as dumb muscle.
<Seiji> Let's move on, though.
<Seiji> Beiige attacks the Laval Blaster!
* Seiji Beiige sticks the spear through
* [Shiei] HURK (7600 LP)
<Seiji> Greedy Sarameya! Attack directly!
* Seiji you ever have a giant dog jump on you
* Seiji now you get to know
* [Shiei] screams trying to punch and kick it away.
* Seiji nope, dog lands on you. and then steps off, one of it's heads sniffing you momentarily before running back.
* [Shiei] floats around like a flattened character before popping back to normal. X.x
<[Shiei]> (4800 LP)
<Seiji> I end my turn.
<[Shiei]> Draw.
<[Shiei]> Salvage, I recover Gishki Shadow and Vision. ::The two monsters spit from his graveyard.::
* Seiji he waits and sees. ... you kinda notice his way of standing's a little wobbly.
* [Shiei] ... stares.
<[Shiei]> I discard Gishki Shadow to add Gishki Mirror
<[Shiei]> *Aquamirror
<[Shiei]> from my Deck to my hand.
<[Shiei]> I actvate Gishki Aquamirror to conduct a Ritual Summon, offering up Gishki Vision as the entire ritual sacrifice (2 Stars -> 6 Stars)
* [Shiei] the Mirror Forms in front of Shiei as the watery merman appears in Cult robes, growling and shattering, reforming into a bigger cultist mercreature with laser weapons (2600 ATK)
<[Shiei]> Tetrogre, Tesseract Blaster!
* [Shiei] it charges its beams blasting at Sarameya.
* Seiji Sarameya takes the blow! ... but it's still standing. (7900 LP)
* Seiji looks like. he wasn't kidding.
<[Shiei]> ... urgh, I was hoping you were just exaggerating.
<Seiji> I don't exaggerate when it comes to information.
<[Shiei]> Main Phase 2, I activate Aquamirror's effect, shuffling it back into my Deck to recover Evigishki Mind Augus. ::Moves around the cards, as his Deck whirs and grabs the card that returns to his hand::
<[Shiei]> And with that I end my tun.
<Seiji> Draw!
<Seiji> Sorry, your Tetrogre's impressive, but it's time to say goodbye to it!
<[Shiei]> Eeeeh?
<Seiji> Activate the Gates of Dark World! I banish Snoww, in order to discard Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World! *he draws, and Grapha's claw appears from the gate, grabbing Tetrogre. squeezing, and crushing them.*
* [Shiei] oh god, Tetrogre gives off an amphibous howling squeal/cry.
<Seiji> *Tetrogre shatters mid-squeal* Next. Dark World Dealings! *draws* I discard Broww! *draws again due to Broww's effect* I'll set one card, and switch Beiige to defense. Sarameya, attack directly!
* Seiji while you're gonna busy yourself with your own draw and discard, Sarameya rears up to stomp you again
* [Shiei] draws looking at his cards
<[Shiei]> I... I discard Laval Lakeside Lady from my hand!
* Seiji STOMP
* [Shiei] oh god, tries to run away from that Dog.
* Seiji the dog chases
* Seiji like a dog would
* [Shiei] OH GOD, squish squish
* Seiji you now have 2300 LP
<Seiji> Turn end.
<[Shiei]> My turn... ::Pulls themselves up, dusting off their psuedo-victorian garb:: Draw...
<[Shiei]> I banish Lakeside Lady and Judgment Lord to target your set card for destruction!
<Seiji> I activate it in response. Jar of Avarice!
* [Shiei] the two vanish and a flaming column erupts consuming your Set card
<[Shiei]> Pot of Avarice isn't a Trap Card..!
* Seiji returns Dark World Dealings twice, Dark World Lightning, Grapha, and Broww before it's destroyed. He then draws.
<Seiji> Jar of Avarice. Not Pot.
<Seiji> Big difference.
* [Shiei] holds his head. Too many similar cards, I2!
<Seiji> It's still your turn.
<[Shiei]> I KNOW
<[Shiei]> Laval Cannon! ::A brute appears with a lava cannon, pointing them at:: (1600 ATK)
<[Shiei]> Laval Cannon, call forth the spirits of your fellows! Laval Judgment Lord! (2700 ATK)
* [Shiei] a huge Fire Giant stomps onto the field, complete with cape, crossing its arms
* [Shiei] grinning
<[Shiei]> Judgment Lord, Judgment Fist! Attack!
* [Shiei] the Giant roars, swinging its fist back and then smashing your hell hound's faces with a hook
* Seiji Sarameya takes the attack, getting pushed back a little, but still it stands. (7700 LP)
<[Shiei]> End!
* Seiji no, not end
* Seiji you forgot an attack
* Seiji namely Cannon against Beiige
<[Shiei]> Laval Cannon, attack beige!
<[Shiei]> *Beiige
* [Shiei] LAVAL CANNON BOMB
* Seiji Beiige is taken out by the Cannon shot!
<[Shiei]> End!
<Seiji> Draw!
* [Shiei] not in too good a position but...
<Seiji> ... now it's time! For the real star of the show to appear!
<[Shiei]> ...?
<Seiji> Activate the spell card! Rank-Up-Magic: Barian's Force! *he-- he has that card, too!?*
<[Shiei]> EEEEH!?
* [Shiei] 's eyes widen in shock
<Seiji> Reconstruct the Overlay Network! Greedy Sarameya, evolve and become more powerful! XYZ Summon, Chaos Number 14! Avaricious Sarameya!
* Seiji the flames around Sarameya billow out, as it grows in size, becoming more ferocious looking. (2900 ATK)
<[Shiei]> Ergh...
<Seiji> In interest of fairness, again, I'll say this! Avaricious Sarameya has an effect. Once per turn, if you activate an effect... I can change it to you dealing me 1000 damage, while I discard a card! And of course, they still have the rebound effect!
<Seiji> I activate Dark World Dealings! *draws, discarding MST*
* [Shiei] ... I TAKE 1000 DAMAGE ANY TIME I DO ANYTHING Once per turn!?
* Seiji yes!
* Seiji discard your card
<[Shiei]> I discard Evigishki Gustkraken...
* [Shiei] floop
<Seiji> Now... another effect that Sarameya has...
<Seiji> You're going to see now!
<Seiji> Sarameya, attack that Laval Judgment Lord!
* Seiji the dog jumps the Judgment Lord, it's three heads biting at him, chomp chomp chomp
* Seiji causing him to shatter. ... but then the flames around Sarameya billow up, engulfing the sides of the field, which means Laval Cannon.
<[Shiei]> ?!
<[Shiei]> What happened...!?
<Seiji> I detach a material! *Sillva goes* When Sarameya destroys a monster, I can destroy all monsters on your side of the field that have ATK less than or equal to the destroyed monster!
* Seiji Laval Cannon can't take the heat, as it shatters as well
<Seiji> I end my turn.
<[Shiei]> Ugh...
<[Shiei]> Draw.
<[Shiei]> I Normal Summon a second Laval Cannon and attempt to bring back my Lakeside Lady...
<Seiji> Effect activate!
<Seiji> I change that effect to dealing 1000 to me-- nay, you!
* Seiji enjoy a flame backlash
* Seiji discarding another MST
* [Shiei] screams as Laval blasts and the blast is absorbed and bounced back.
* [Shiei] swallowed up by a huge flame.
<[Shiei]> (1100 LP)
* [Shiei] huff huff huff huff...
<Seiji> Well? You're pretty low. Are you going to keep going?
<[Shiei]> ... Y-yes...
<[Shiei]> I'm not going to let you remain enslaved by that card like I was!
<Seiji> Enslaved...?
<[Shiei]> I activate one of my remaining cards, the real Pot of Avarice! Laval Blaster, Judgment Lord, Gishki Shadow, Gishki Vision, Tetrogre!
* [Shiei] grabs the five cards, whirring, returning them.
* [Shiei] draws two
<[Shiei]> That card enslaved me to a mindless obsession
<[Shiei]> Worse than my own depression and hatred...
<[Shiei]> I activate Gishki Aquamirror again, Tributing my Laval Cannon and the Mind Augus in my hand to create a ritual sacrifice worth 10 cards!
* [Shiei] the two beasts appear on the field, howling as two giant claws erupt from the ground, grabbing them and crushing them into a rain of golden energy, as their master climbs out.
* Seiji this seems impressive, but... Sarameya can still resist attacks...
<[Shiei]> The flames of the immortal warriors and the distraught soul of one ravaged by war on the edge of the dark sea, revive the dark king, baptized in the sea of frozen despair!
<[Shiei]> Ritual Summon!
<[Shiei]> Gishki Zielgigas!
* [Shiei] ... (3200 ATK) What is that thing looming over you, it looks like... a cockroach? A lobster? In the shape of a man?
* Seiji ... tilts his head a little
* Seiji rubbing his eyes
* [Shiei] it grins a bit nastily
<[Shiei]> I pay 1000 Life Points to activate Zielgigas' effect.
<[Shiei]> I get to draw 1 card, and then I reveal that card to you!
* [Shiei] place two fingers on their Deck.
<[Shiei]> And if it's the right kind of card, Sarameya vanishes!
<Seiji> Huh...?!
<[Shiei]> DRAW!
* [Shiei] draws and looks at the drawn card with a grin
<[Shiei]> A monster like that really is unfitting for someone as interesting as you.
<[Shiei]> I reveal Evigishki Mind Augus
<Seiji> Wha--
* Seiji oh god Sarameya's vanishing
<[Shiei]> if I drew a Gishki card, Zielgigas returns a card on the field to the Deck!
<[Shiei]> Vanishing Aeon!
<[Shiei]> I return Sarameya to the Extra Deck! ::Points::
* Seiji Sarameya hoooooowwls with it's three heads, before disappearing
<[Shiei]> Eldritch Kunckler!
<Seiji> Ghk... *is hit directly by the blow! (4500 LP)*
<[Shiei]> Turn End!
<Seiji> nn... D-draw! *he draws. ... and then sets a monster.* I end my turn.
<[Shiei]> Zielgigas, again! Eldritch Knuckler! Clear a path to salvation!
* [Shiei] the beast roars, savagely swinging its fist down onto the Set Monster
* Seiji Scarr, Scout of Dark World is destroyed.
<Seiji> E-effect activate! I add Snoww to my hand from the deck!
<[Shiei]> I'll stop those cards influence before you can bring Grapha out! End Turn!
* Seiji ... draws
<Seiji> I use the Gates of Dark World! I banish Scarr, and discard Snoww, to add Grapha to my hand! *he also draws.* ... Turn end!
* Seiji I should be able to survive Zielgigas's blow...
<[Shiei]> Draw.
<[Shiei]> I return Aquamirror Zielgigas to recover the Mind Augus I used to summon Zielgigas!
<[Shiei]> And then I activate another Aquamirror from my hand! Ritual Summon!
<[Shiei]> Reflections of Sorrow, overlap!
* Seiji oh no.
<[Shiei]> Evigishki Zielgigas (2500 ATK)
<[Shiei]> *Mind Augus
* [Shiei] a woman witch half fused to fish like abomination appears
<[Shiei]> Mind Augus, effect!
<[Shiei]> I can return 5 cards from the Graves to their owner's Decks!
<[Shiei]> Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force, Beiige, Sillva, Goldd, and Snoww, return to your master's origin!
* [Shiei] a massive wind erupts from your Deck as the five cards fly out, swooping back into your Deck.
<[Shiei]> *from your Graveyard
* Seiji the cards return to the deck in a flashy motion
<[Shiei]> Zielgigas! Mind Augus! Eldritch of Minds!
* Seiji he's hit by both! As his LP drops like a rock to 0LP. The duel end sound goes off. As the cards all fade, and he collapses. ... a sphere of light rises from him, and then shoots off, to the surprise of some of the people in the crowd.
<[Shiei]> ..?!
* [Shiei] goes to make sure you're okay
* Seiji he seems. ... alive. But not very conscious. Sarameya's card floats from him, and in front of you. Do you take it?
* [Shiei] ... yes, there seemed some upset about the one I had vanishing, I think.
* Seiji well on your point, it isn't taking you over or anything. it's just a card. right now.
* Seiji otherwise, Seiji seems... out cold. ... no, actually. if you look closely, he seems to be... sleeping? ... he DID look like he... hadn't slept for the past day or so. was that actually what happened?
* [Shiei] ... grabs, stuffing it in, giving the audience the death look as I dial for medical services
* [Shiei] or should I dial for grandfather
* Seiji maybe grandfather can help
* Seiji most of the audience disperses, since the show's over now.
* [Shiei] calls Grandfather and ... should we fade or would you like to be a grandfather?
* Seiji we can fade here
* Seiji SCENE END
