Thread: Yugiohverse (Draken the Black x True Grave

I did not have time to learn anything more about this world before I felt a presence from behind me. I turned to find two large minotaurs standing behind me. One was red and one was green, and I realized that they were battle guards. They snorted at me, and raised their weapons to attack, sending an instant signal that these monsters were no friends of mine. However, I knew that as cards, both of these monsters had less than 2,000 attack, whereas the card that I had taken the form of stood at a strong 3,000. With that in mind, I charged for the green one and swung my great sword. To my surprise, the battle guard not only blocked it, but was able to force me off. Then its counterpart swung his spiked mace at my leg, and a sharp, terrible pain surged through my body before I fell back-down on the ground. Where by all rights I should have won, the monsters managed to beat me, and as I looked at my bleeding wound I groaned to myself so thats what damage to my lifepoints really feels like. I looked forward then and saw that the green battle guard was coming forward with its mace raised to finish the job. Suddenly, Paladin stopped the strike with her sword. The battle guard snarled at her, and rose its weapon to attack her, but an arrow sped in and shot the monster through its green, muscular wrist. The battle guard dropped its weapon, and before its companion could come to its aid, Swordswoman rushed past and cut the red ones head off. The green one did not fare any better, for Paladin thrust her sword through the beasts heart and killed it. As I rose, straining on my hurt leg, Paladin asked What is wrong with you master? I answered I dont understand. My attack is so much more powerful than theirs was, so how did they defeat me? So you got cocky? Archer asked, but I replied No, whenever I see these battles I know how powerful any monsters attack and defense is by a system of numbers. My attack number was over a thousand points higher than a battle guards so I should have crushed them with my attack. I failed with an attack that is nearly twice that of any of yours so I dont see how you guys pulled off what I could not. Its never been as simple as a swing and hit master. Paladin answered, Its true that some beasts are less likely to defeat us than others, but they give us one hell of a battle regardless. Archer then added, Yah, and those damn Kuribohs are so annoying, always jumping out of nowhere and blowing up in our faces whenever we are charging for the enemy. I thought about just how brutal every game of cards could actually be. There was also strategy involved with them. Various monsters had different purposes, and magic and trap cards could have some devastating effects on the field. Remembering these various cards, I asked the Amazons How many more of you are out here? Dont you usually fight alongside other warriors and creatures as well? Swordswoman replied Yes, they normally come to reinforce us, or we to them. And the three of us dont even see each other on the battlefield all the time. Paladin then asked Why are you asking us these things master? I thought that you knew what you were doing, unless you are not our master. That accusation was well credited after the mistakes and general lostness that I had been showing since I had been in their presence. But I worried that if they turned on me, they may kill me, and after the thrashing that the battle guards had given me, I knew I could really die here. I answered When I controlled you before, it was never down in the field with you. From where I sat the only things that I perceived were as simple as a game of cards. While the Amazons were clearly confused, Archer said with enthusiasm That is some bitching power you must have in your world. Encouraged by their reactions, I pressed on In my world, it is nothing but an afterthought because I am accustomed to it. But I can see that the three of you have a hard time grasping that. Well, now I am here, and this unfamiliar way of fighting confuses me. I do not even know why the three of you specifically are with me, or how to call upon the rest of your tribe in my current state. The Amazons seemed to be as convinced as I could get them that it was me, and Paladin said If this is you master, then we shall continue to serve and protect you as we always have. Swordswoman added We can even guide you until your memory and true power come back to you. I nodded and gave my thanks. I still did not fully understand what had really happened to me. The last thing that I could remember was a blinding light emitting from some machine back in the park. Now I was here, and I wondered if there was some way to return to the real world. For now though, all I could do was wander aimlessly with the Amazons watching my back.
