Yu-Gi-Oh! Prodigy Chapter 3- Turbulence

Episode 3- Turbulence
Hoods: A gliding duel?
James: Yes, we duel using Altitude counters.
Hoods: Altitude counters allow us to use Soar spells, which I don’t have any of.
James: {Precisely kid!}
Hoods: Is there a penalty for using a normal magic card?
James: In fact there is! For every normal spell card used the turn player loses one Alt. counter.
Hoods: That isn’t fair.
James: Life isn’t fair kid! Oh and lastly Every time you lose life points you lose 1 counter for every 1000 points of damage you took from the attack. As I’m sure you have already guessed the less alt. counters you have the closer you come to crashing to the spiky rocks below!
Hoods: (He looks down). gulp.
James: [4000 lp] Now that you are caught up I will continue my turn! I summon Gliding Bear in attack Mode! (A grizzly bear with wings appears in a flash of sparks). [ATK- 1600] [Level- 3]
Hoods: {I have to beat James if I want to save Lantana!!} [4000 lp] Here goes!! It’s time to play the game!
James: Look ahead.
Hoods: Huh? (he looks forward and sees a path of huge almost sharpened looking mountain rocks). O_O
James: (He grins maniacally as they head into the village of rocks). If you make it through here then, and only THEN will we be able to duel!
Hoods: (He has a terrified look on).
Somewhere in the dessert in a dark room. Lantana is in a cell. She has bruises up and down her body. Her hair is stringy. It seems as though they beat her and poured water on her to wake her up just to hit her again. A silhouetted girl stands next to the cell watching over Lantana. Right now the girl’s attention is directed towards the watch on her hand. On the watch is a live feed of the situation between James and Hibiki.
Girl: (She looks annoyed). What is up with all these darn dangerous stunts James is pulling with the Prodigy? We are supposed to beat him in a duel not kill him. Just duel already! James is too much of a junkie for danger. I knew Master should have let me go. I would have won by now and kept the scraps for myself. (She licks her lips).
Lantana: (She slowly looks up). {The Prodigy? That’s Hoods}. What is going on with my little brother?
Girl: (She looks over at lantana). Your little brother? You must be mistaken lady. This kid withholds the soul of a tyrant.
Lantana: That is not true. Hoods is the nicest boy you can ever meet! I don’t know what makes you all think that he is some kind of threat! He is still in school and goes every day! He is not training to take over the world or anything like that!
Girl: Hmm…still in school you say? What kind of tyrant has to go to school? Wait you said that he is your little brother right?
Lantana: Yes…he is.
Girl: Master didn’t tell me that we kidnapped the sister of some normal kid. What he told me was that the kid was the biggest threat to the world right now, and that you were the key to bringing out that threat so that we could defeat it and save the world. By helping with this operation I would be doing a great justice.
Lantana: You’re watching him right now; does he seem like some evil dictator?
Girl: (She slowly shakes her head and looks at Lantana).
Lantana: I can see it in your eyes….you know what I speak is the truth. You are the only one who understands that. So please… just let me go.
Girl: (Confused). I’m sorry, I can’t do that! (She runs off. As she runs into the light her purple hair is revealed).
Lantana: Hm?
Girl: (She runs to the room that her master. The guy who was wearing the white robe when Lantana was kidnapped.). Master!
???: (He turns around with the hood of his robe falling over his face as usual). Yes?
Girl: I have something to ask you! 
???: (He faces her and smiles).
Back at the site of the gliding duel the two duelists have dodged the danger of the Spikes.
Hoods: (He is out of breath).
James: (He glides with his monster Gliding Bear flapping his wings beside him). Ha! If that little trip gave you ANY kind of a scare then you should quit now!
Hoods: No way! Just make your move already!
James: I place 1 card face down and end my turn. (The giant vertical card appears beside him and then disappears).
Hoods: I guess it’s my turn! (He slowly removes his hand from the duel glider to place his fingers on his deck). I draw! [ALT- 1] (Gaining his Alt counter caused him rise higher into the air. He is now gliding beside James. He draws a card but a gust of wind blows the card right out of his hand). Yikes!! (He looks back as his card is swept up by the merciless winds of the sky).
James: HAHAHA! It looks like you’ll be starting with 5 cards! (Punishing grin).
Hoods: Just great! (He is aggravated). I….(He looks in his hand. He has 1 trap, 2 magic, cards and 2 monster cards). I summon my Escape Magician in attack mode! (His magician comes spinning out of the air). [ATK- 1400]
James: Hold it! I activate my face down trap card! (His trap card lifts up). It’s my Sky High Pit Fall! It activates when you normal summon a monster and you have 3 Alt counters or less! The monster you summoned is destroyed and sent to the graveyard!
Escape Magician starts falling.
Hoods: (His smile is shown). Too bad things aren’t happening that way.
James: What are you talking about?!
Hoods: My Escape Magician cannot be destroyed by card effects up to 2 times per turn! (The Escape Magician does a back flip and lands right back on Hoods’ field escaping danger again, just as he did in Hibiki’ duel with KG).
James: Lucky!
Hoods: More like awesome!
James: Some one seems a lot more enthusiastic!
Hoods: I’ve come to the realization that I love duels more than anything else! So when I’m in a duel everything is okay!
James: Happy or not it doesn’t change your chances of winning! 1%
Hoods: We’ll just see about that! ! Percent is better than no chance at all. I will take that 1 and make a million. {Activating a spell would cost me my only altitude counter. I guess it’s best to play it safe for now}. I place 1 card face down and end my turn!
James: Watch me soar! I draw! (He draws with no problem). [Alt- 2] (He glides a little higher).
Hoods: (He looks up).
James: I now summon the monster Gliding Bat! (A bat with wings long enough to wrap around its body twice flaps up). [DEF- 900] Mind you….my Gliding Bear is a tuner monster!
Hoods: A tuner monster? (He remembers Lantana telling him about a special type of summoning known as synchro summoning. Synchro monsters are summoned by sending monsters on your field who‘s total level equal exactly the level of a synchro monster in your extra deck to the graveyard, including 1 tuner and 1 or more non tuner monsters. You can then synchro summon that monster from your extra deck.)! I guess that I’m going to get to see one in action.
James: Next I will be tuning my Level 3 Gliding Bat with my level 3 Gliding Bear! (Gliding Bear turns into green encrypted circles and Gliding Bat flies through the circles becoming outlined in orange as he moves. Gliding Bat then bursts into 3 green stars. The stars stretch out to the length of the 3 circles). The sky is no longer the limit once your presence has been felt! (There is then a flash of light). Synchro Summon! Skate Freely: Sky Skater Hyomous!! (A man covered in high tech armor comes skating out of the Sky). [ATK- 2350]
Hoods: A Synchro summon!
James: He gains 50 attack points in the turn he is Synchro summoned in a gliding duel! [ATK- 2400] Lets continue! I’ll have my Sky Skater Hyomous attack your Escape Magician! (The armored man skates over and tramples Escape Magician). 
Hoods: Escape Magician! [3000 lp]
James: And with that thousand taken away you lose the 1 Alt counter you have!
Hoods: (He starts to glide towards the rocks below). [ALT- 0]
James: (He Smirks). I bet you wish you had some soar spells now don’t you?!! Ha ha ha!
Hoods: (He starts to smile).
James: What’s there for you to smile at? You’re losing!
Hoods: Yeah I am losing…but that doesn’t matter. I am going to beat you….handicap and all!
James: Don’t play yourself kid!
Hoods: You are underestimating what I can do. You know what?
James: What?
Hoods: That I don’t need to have soar spells to win! (He starts falling faster).
James: I place another card face down and end my turn! Prove it!
Hoods: Gladly! I draw! [ALT- 1] (He regains his 1 Alt counter and rises higher. He is now right under James). I activate the effect of the card in my deck, my Magi-Kid! The original Magi monster! By showing you 1 face down magic or trap card on my field I can special summon him from my deck or graveyard! (The little kid magician comes flying from his duel disk). Next I play my face down. (The card Hoods set last turn comes back into view and lifts up. It is Magician Steps Forward! Magi-Kid uses a spell to fly beside hoods). [DEF- 250] Now I use the effect of a monster in my hand! My Magician’s Spell Librarian!
James: Of what?
Hoods: By sending 1 magic card from my field to the graveyard I can special summon her! (His spell card bursts into sparkles, and from the sparkles comes a woman with glasses, wearing a similar outfit to Magician’s Valkeria). [DEF-1800] Now with her out, twice per turn I can discard a magic card and use the effect of 1 magic card in my graveyard. So I do! By discarding my continuous spell card Opposition Magic I can use its effect from the graveyard! (The librarian opens a book from out of thin air and starts reading. She then flies over to James and reaches in his deck).
James: What is she doing?!
Hoods: My Opposition Magic card allows me to add 1 magic card from YOUR deck to MY hand by sacrificing a monster! (Magician’s Spell Librarian seems to be having a hard time pulling the card out of the deck, so Magi-kid goes over and helps her but he pulls too hard and falls back destroying himself. Magician’s Spell Librarian flies back over to Hibiki’s field. He smiles placing his hand back on his glider).
James: I see…{Since his spell cards will never hit the field, he won’t ever have to pay Alt counters to use them}. You found a way to use spell cards without using any counters….smart but you will lose all the same! What do you think will happen when I destroy that magician of yours next turn?!
Hoods: You’ll see! (He grins). But I don’t think you’ll like it.
Back in the dessert base.
Girl: Master I thought you said that I was doing a good deed.
???: Jessoi, You are doing good.
Jessoi: But the lady in there says that the boy we kidnapped is her brother and has never committed any crimes!
???: Someone being held captive will say all sorts of things to be set free. For years she has harbored a fugitive. What she speaks is not the truth.
Jessoi: I don’t know…she seemed pretty sincere.
???: Now Jessoi, would I ever lie to you? (He gives a soft smile).
Jessoi: No….. of course not.
???: Correct.
Jessoi: But why would you let James go over me. I could have beaten the Prodigy by now.
???: James hasn’t been on a mission in quite some time and besides, the more time that is spent by 1 of us in a duel with him the more the Stone of Stomnimite will be powered. (He turns to the stone which is encased in glass and mounted on a pedestal). Besides, I’d rather risk the life of someone who doesn’t mean anything to this operation one way or another as opposed to my favorite person in the world.
Jessoi: (She blushes). I guess I shouldn’t have believed her…she made you out to look like a bad person.
???: That’s right….I am telling you the truth and all facts, besides why would I do something to lose your trust when I’m doing you a favor? You do remember our agreement right? The reason you work WITH me?
Jessoi: Yes master.
???: Good. You are excused, come back to me with the results of James’ duel.
Jessoi: Yes master. (She bows and leaves the room).
???: (He turns back to the Stone of Stomnimite and smiles deviously).
Gliding duel.
Hoods: (Magician’s Spell Librarian holds a shining ball in her hand). It looks like she snatched your Sky Counter Control magic card! Next I use her effect again to use your magic card! (She now holds two shining balls). Lucky me…. Your spell makes it so that I don’t have to use Alt counters to activate magic cards.
James: Errr…
Hoods: With that even if you destroy my magician I can still use spells! Oh and now that I can play magic cards I activate Pot of Greed! (A green jar with a goblin’s face appears on the field). This lets me draw 2 more cards from my deck! (He draws). (He looks at his Magician). Thanks, and don’t worry I won’t let him destroy you.
James: Are you talking to a hologram? What the hell is the matter with you?!
Hoods: Alright, now remember I haven’t normal summoned this turn! The two monsters I used were both special summoned! So I now release my Magician’s Spell Librarian to Advance Summon Grad Magician! (The librarian turns into a colorful ball of energy and the energy ball takes form as a magician with a wizards hat on and a bird on his shoulder). [ATK- 2000]
James: Is that monster supposed to make a difference something? His attack points are lower than my Sky Skater’s!
Hoods: It’s not always attack points that decide a duel, sometimes it’s how you make do with what you have! Next I place the equip magic card Mage Power onto him! (The magician holds up his magic wand). With Mage Power my magician gains 500 attack points for every magic or trap card in my spell and trap card zone!
James: My Sky Counter Control spell!
Hoods: That‘s right!! Also isn’t mage power a magic card? This means that because he is equipped he gains 1000 attack points!
James: You!
Hoods: This means his attack now becomes….[ATK- 3000]
James: (He looks at his Sky Skater). Darn!
Hoods: Do it Grad Magician! Attack his Sky Skater Hyomous! (The magician points his wands and uses a spell that wraps Hyomous up and bends him back breaking his spine and destroying him).
James: You’ll pay for that! [3350 lp] {You mean to tell me that in one turn this kid got rid of my ultimate monster his disadvantage and the game mechanic of gliding duels?}
Hoods: {He felt that one}. I place 1 card face down and end my turn!
James: Sure you can end your turn…. But I’m ending this duel! I draw! (He rises higher)! [ALT-3] I activate the soar spell Air Wave Drift! This card can be activated when I have 3 or more Altitude counters! This allows me to gain 1 Alt counter and draw 1 card! (He draws). [Alt- 4] Next I play Rising Rebirth! In order to activate this card I must drop by 3 ALT counters! [Alt- 1] (He starts to descend to Hoods’ side).
Hoods: (He smiles). Good to see ya!
James: Not for long it won’t be! Rising Rebirth brings back 1 monster from my graveyard if I paid Alt counters this turn and increases it’s attack by 700 until the end phase.!
Hoods: Oh no!
James: Oh yes! I revive Sky Skater Hyomous!! (The Armored Warrior Rises from the depths). [ATK- 2350 --> 3050] Next I will equip him with Gust Wing!
Hoods: But that card can only be Equipped to a winged-beast type monster!
James: My Sky Skater Hyomous is always treated as a winged-beast monster while on the field! (Hyomous gains 2 wings). This makes it so that each time he destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the graveyard you will lose 50 life points. Also by sending this card to the graveyard during the end phase of the turn it‘s used I can increase the attack of my monster by 200. [ATK- 3050] [DEF- 2100]
Hoods: Looks like he’s stronger again!
James: I now equip my Sky Skater Hyomous with the equip spell card Soul of the Sky Skater! (He places the card in the disk and his monster starts to glow). Now as long as the tuner monster I used for the Synchro summon of the monster remains in the graveyard my sky skater can’t be destroyed in battle. That means unless I reborn my gliding bear you won’t be getting rid of my Sky Skater again! (He places a monster card on his duel disk). I summon Gliding Possum. [ATK- 500] I now attack your Grad Magician! (The Skater starts heading over).
Hoods: Get ready Grad Magician.
James: Wait there’s more! The effect of my Gliding Possum! By sending him to the graveyard when I declare an attack with a Wind monster I can destroy the attack target before the attack gets there!
Hoods: What?! (His Grad Magician Explodes as Gliding Possum falls over dead).
James: This means that this attack becomes direct! You only have 3000 life points left and my monster has 3050 attack points! This duel ends here!! (Hyomous skates over to hoods).
Hoods: Ahhh!
James: (He Glides towards Hibiki’s’ position and kicks him then skates off leaves a trail of dust behind hims). That’s it!
Hoods: (He is covered in smoke but the dust cloud is still gliding).
James: Huh?
Hoods: (When the dust clears Hibiki is shown still gliding and his life points are still the same). [3000 lp]
James: I beat you, how is it that your life points are still the same?!
Hoods: (He looks up and smirks).
James: (He looks closer and sees a trap card beside hoods). When did you play that?!
Hoods: I’m still here and it’s all thanks to my Magician’s Barrier trap card! When you destroy a magician monster on my side of the field other than by battle any battle damage I take that turn is reduced to 0.
James: Damn you!
Hoods: Then I can add 1 Magician or Magi monster from my deck to my hand! (He goes into his deck and pulls out a card).
James: {The kid has gotten better at controlling his glider too}.
Hoods: The Magician I add to my hand…Magician of Black Magic!
James: I end my turn by removing my equip spell Gust Wing from Hyomous. [Hyomous’ ATK- 3050  2350  2550]
Hoods: My go! {I survived that but I don’t think that I will be able to survive another turn with fire power like that after me. Besides I don’t have a way of summoning my Magician of Black Magic}. (The spirit of Hoods’ Magi-Kuriboh card arrives beside him).
Magi-Kuriboh: Kuri-Kuri! (It points).
Hoods: Huh? Magi-Kuriboh?! How are you here?!
James: (He cannot see Kuriboh). Who are you talking to over there?! {Delusional boy}!
Hoods: (He looks to where Magi Kuriboh was pointing and see the card that flew from his hand earlier). Holy crud! (He reaches out and grabs it).
James: {The card came back to him?!}
Hoods: (He looks at the card). Whoa this is coolness! So this is the card that few away before. I’m glad I got it back. Here I go! I draw! (He grins). Now we’re talking! [ALT- 2] (He rises above James).
James: {His personality just took a drastic turn!}
Hoods: I activate the card that I just got back, Blue Print to Black Magic! This allows me to add 1 magician monster with 1500 attack or less from my deck to my hand! I add Disguise Magician. I summon him! (A Magician wearing a mask and a trench coat appears and magically floats beside Hoods). [ATK- 1200]
James: Yeah and!
Hoods: AND I use his special ability! Now I can tribute him to special summon 1 monster with magician in its name from my hand! (He raises one arm making it harder for him to keep his glider striate). Make room for my ultimate monster Magician of Black Magic! (He comes down flying with his arms folded). [ATK- 2500]
James: {I knew he would use that card eventually! It looks like the conditions have been set. Next turn I turn this duel into a Duel of Death!}
Hoods: Next I will set a card! Here you wanna see what it is?
James: {He is about to summon that kid}.
(The card lifts up. It is the spell Card of Sanctity). Now that I have shown you a spell card on my field I can special summon Magi-Kid from my graveyard. (His kid comes back flipping onto the field). [DEF- 250] Alright to continue I use my Card of Sanctity spell! This makes us both draw until we are holding 6 cards in our hands!
James: (He draws).
Hoods: (He draws). Now that I have a full hand of options I will place 2 cards face down and use the effect of a card in my deck, Magi-Mailman! By sending him from my deck to the graveyard I can send 1 face down card back to my deck then I can place 1 trap card from my deck face down. (He sends his mailman to the graveyard and sets a trap card. Afterwards he places his deck back in). The card I set can be activated this turn but I‘ll save it for later.
James: What did he place face down?
Hoods: Next I’ll hmmm…..(He looks at his cards trying to figure what to do next). Got it! I place 1 card face down and end my turn!
James: Okay so his magician has 2500 attack points, and my Hyomous has 2550, that’s an easy kill, but he also has 3 face down cards. (He looks forward). I know what to do! (He smirks). My turn! I draw! [ALT- 2] (He and Hoods are level again). Prodigy, the game ends here! Now I will kick this duel to the maximum! First I should tell you that I reap the benefits from the continuous spell Sky Counter Control you took from my deck as well. This means that I won’t lose an Alt counter for using my next spell! I…(He lifts up a card from his hand. The card starts to shine).
Hoods: What’s that?!
James: The last card you’ll ever see!! (His eyes turn dark blue and His pupils Glow Red). The end of the world is upon us! Everything shall be turned to ash and dust! I use the sacred Seal of Destruction!!
Hoods: Seal of Destruction?!
James: (Once the card hit’s the duel disk there is red flame flying everywhere).
Hoods: What’s going on?!
Jessoi: (Watching from her watch). About time wouldn’t ya say?!
Lantana: (She can hear everything going on from the watch)...Hibiki…
James: (His teeth become fangs and he grows horns as his shirt rips and his skin turns grey. His Glider breaks as he grows demon wings. Grabbing his duel disk, he attaches it to his arm and it becomes a part of his body).
Hoods: Dude what has happened to you?!
James: (He is now Devil James). The Seal of Destruction is active This duel is over!
Hoods: Hey, hey, hey! No! We’re not having that! I activate my trap, Dust Tornado! With this I can destroy 1 spell or trap on the field! And I choose your field card: seal of destruction!
James: I don’t think so I activate the quick-play spell card Full Gauge! This allows me to remove from play 1 face up spell card! (The duelists are now flying in a giant circle with ancient encryptions on it. The edge of the seal is laced by what looks like a barrier). Full gauge also makes it so that the removed spell stays in play! So now you can never get rid of it!
Hoods: Darn I missed. (A sandy tornado comes from the card and swirls right past Hyomous).
James: Hyomous is still strong! And getting stronger! The Seal of Destruction powers all my monsters up by 500 points!
Hoods: All of them?!
James: Yeah! [Hyomous ATK- 2850] and every time a card of yours is destroyed and sent to the grave from your field you have to send 1 card from your deck of the same type to the grave! This means if I kill 1 of your monsters you lose 2 monsters. That’s not all either! When you attack your monster’s attack is reduced times by the number of spell and traps you control x 500. In addition to that, you can’t attack if you don’t have a spell or tap on the field. And When I attack By Removing 1 monster in my graveyard from play I can Cause you to lose 500 Life points!
Hoods: That is totally not fair!
James: Live with it! No better yet die with it! I attack with Sky Skater Hyomous! Destroy his Magi-Kid!
Hoods: What why Magi-Kid?!
James: (He smirks as his skater tramples Magi-Kid).The effect of the Seal of Destruction causes you to send 1 monster card from your deck to the graveyard!
Hoods: …..(He places Jester Magician in the graveyard).
James: Now I use Sky Skater Hyomous’ effect!
Hoods: He has an effect?!
James: Yeah! By removing 1 Winged Beast monster from my graveyard I can send 1 card on your field back to your hand!
Hoods: NO!
James: I remove my Gliding Bat from play to send your magician back to your hand!
Hoods: Wait trap card go! (His trap lifts up). It’s my Magician’s Force! I can only activate it when there is a Magician of Black Magic on my field! It sends 1 monster on your field back to your hand!
James: Thanks to the seal of destruction, once per turn I can negate and destroy 1 spell or trap!
Hoods: Not good! (His trap card rusts and the magician is sent flying back to his hand).
James: That means that you now lose 1 trap card from your deck!
Hoods: I won’t have a any back up cards if I can’t stop him soon. (He sends Inescapable Path)!
James: After that I place 1 card face down and I end my turn!
Hoods: I draw! (He looks at his card). Okay I summon Red Magician in defense position! (A woman wearing a red maiden’s dress with blonde hair floats down). [DEF- 1600]
James: Unfortunately for you that is where I stop that from happening! I activate the face down card Iron Stare! Now all monsters summoned this turn must be summoned in attack mode!
Red Magician: (She is forced into attack mode). [ATK- 1800]
Hoods: {His cards are strong…maybe too strong}. I end my turn.
James: I draw! (The flames of the seal rise higher). I attack with my Sky Skater Hyomous! (The skater skates over and tramples Red Magician)!
Hoods: Ahh! (He winces). What was that about?! [3000 --> 2250 --> 1750 lp] [Alt- 1] (He starts descending).
James: I removed my Gliding Bear from my graveyard during the attack to do 500 more damage to you.
Hoods: No I mean the attack…it actually hurt!
James: That’s because the damage in these duels is real!
Hoods: It’s real?!
James: This is a Yami no Game! A game of darkness….a duel of death!
Hoods: A duel of death? I can’t let this guy win….I have to win for lantana, and my generation.
James: Next turn I will take your life! Go!
Hoods: I draw!
James: I use the effect of the Seal of Destruction! Once during either players turn. I can destroy 1 spell or trap so I destroy my Sky Counter Control that‘s sitting over there on your field! (The spell card breaks). Now you have to pay to use spells again!
Hoods: [ALT- 2] (As he takes his hand off of the glider he starts swerving more than usual)! Hold up. (He looks up). Oh no! (He finds that his glider has had one side of the wing cracked). So let’s count all the stuff that can go wrong here. My gliders broken meaning that even when I get a Altitude counter I won’t rise. If I play a magic card I will lose a counter and come closer to the spikes, and even if I do play a magic or a trap he can just negate it with his seal. My Magician of Black Magic is not on the field anymore. I can’t attack without having a spell or trap down. If I do have a spell or trap down my monsters attack is reduced by the number of spells and traps I control times 500. When he attacks me he can just remove a monster from his grave out of play to do 500 points of extra damage. The damage I feel will be real and if and most likely when I lose the alabaster thieves will return and I will die.
James: One last thing Prodigy. The soul of the loser of a yami no game will be sent to the stone of stomnimite giving it more strength, but if you lose it will gain all the power it needs right away to help us reawaken Baskist the Reoccurring Nightmare!!
Hoods: (He closes his eyes and drops his head). I…can’t win. (He speaks weakly). I ……Pass….(He is sad. *To pass is to end your turn without making a move). {This is all too much to put on my shoulders}.
James: Giving up huh?! I’d be happy to put you out of your misery! I draw! [ALT- 3] (He rises above Hoods when he should be right beside Hoods). I play the trap card Counter Cut! Now you lose 1000 life points. (He opens his mouth and flame starts to build in it).
Hoods: (He doesn’t even bother to look up).
James: (He spits a big fire ball out at hoods which hits him and breaks his glider causing him to start falling)!
Hoods: Ahhhh!!! [750 lp] [ALT-1]
James: I now use the spell card foolish burial this allows me to send 1 monster from my deck to the graveyard! I send my Gliding Azeri! And the finish!! I attack you with my Sky Skater Hyomous! Air Cutter! By removing the last gliding monster I have, my Gliding Azeri from play I can do 500 points of damage. Even though the attack alone is enough to finish you I want you to burn in hell! (Sky Skater skates towards Hoods).
Hoods: I’ve failed…..
Lantana: (She closes her eyes being able to feel her brother in pain). {Come on don’t give up Hoods! The world needs your help little brother. Please fight…fight for Victor, fight for Victoria, fight for Riana….fight for me…}.
Hoods: (He can hear her voice in his mind).
Lantana: Duel!!!!
Hoods: (His eyes open). Lantana!
Hyomous reaches him.
Hoods: (He looks up with a determined face on and starts dueling while falling). I activate the effect of Magi-Kuriboh!!
James: What?!
Hoods: By sending Magi-Kuriboh from my hand to the graveyard when you try to inflict effect damage to my life points I can negate the damage and send it back to you doubled! (Magi-Kuriboh appears on the field. Hyomous skates around her but she gathers some of the energy form with in his body and starts to glow yellow). Now Fire! Magi-Reflection! (Magi-Kuriboh sends the energy flying back at James).
James: Hm? (The blast hits him and he loses 1000 points lowering his Altitude). [2350 lp] [ALT- 2] That doesn’t stop my attack, you lose!
Hoods: Not yet! I use the second effect of Magi-Kuriboh! By removing her from play while in my graveyard I can make the battle damage to me this turn for this battle! (Hyomous misses Hoods). Then I can special summon 1 monster with Kuri in its card name from my hand!
James: He escaped?!
Hoods: I summon Kurihorn! (A Purple Kuriboh burst from his hand holding a long horn). [DEF- 200]
James: No it will end here! I use the quick-play spell card Second Battle Fallen Soldier! This allows me to attack again with the same monster if I attacked you directly this turn!
Hoods: No!
James: GOT YOU!
Hoods: I activate my face down card! Magician’s Magnet! (The card comes into view and lifts up fast as Hoods falls fast towards the spikes).
James: That’s where you’re wrong! I use the effect of the Seal! Your magic card is canceled out!
Hoods: Wrong on your part! I use my other face down card! (His trap lifts up)! My Effect Trapper! When you target a magic or trap card on my field with the effect of a magic or trap you control I can negate the targeting effect and use a trap card from my hand this turn!
James: Err! {He wanted me to try and negate his first card with the seal}.
Hoods: Now back to my Magician’s Magnet! This quick-play spell activates when you attack! It allows me to Special Summon a Magician monster from my hand but that magician‘s attack is reduced by 1500 until the end of the turn! I summon Magician of black Magic! (His Magician jumps from the card in his hand). [ATK- 2500 --> 1000]
James: He’s back!
Lantana: (She hears this). Yes!
Jessoi: Amazing!
James: If this attack hits you’ll still lose!!
Hoods: Now way dude! Remember I can use a trap card from my hand this turn! I activate…(He holds his hand upward). 1000 Year barrier! When you attack and I control a Magician of Black Magic I can destroy all monsters on the field that are in attack mode besides my magician!
James: Damn you!
Hoods: (He grins as Magician of Black Magic creates a barrier over himself and sky skater runs into it destroying himself).
James: Damn, I place 1 card face down and end my turn! [Magician of Black Magic’s ATK- 2500]
Hoods: Well I gave it everything I had! (He closes his eyes as he falls to the spikes below. When he opens them he is in a dark room). Where am I? (After walking around for a little while he finds that Magi-Kuriboh is in this room). Magi-Kuriboh what are you doing here? Come to think of it, where is here?
Magi-Kuriboh- Kuri!!
Hoods: Did you bring me here?
Magi-Kuriboh- Kuri! (She winks).
Hoods: I’ll take that as a yes. So why am I here?
Spirit: Welcome Hibiki “Hoods” Taioyu.
Hoods: Who the? (He turns around quickly at the sound of a man’s voice. He sees the figure of a man shrouded in the darkness of the room). Who are you? (As he walks up to the man).
Spirit: My identity will remain a secrete for now, but if you choose to trust my words you will be led out of the way of danger.
Hoods: (He looks around). {There is really no evidence that what he’s saying is true…I mean he did come out of nowhere, but it’s not like I have any idea about anything that happened today…so I’m with it!} Okay.
Sprit: It is good to see that you chose the right path. Follow me.
Hoods: (He follows the spirit). Hey where are we?
Spirit: We are in your mental sanctum.
Hoods: I won’t even ask. So do you like…. live here?
Spirit: Yes, you could say that.
Hoods: (He looks forward and sees two doors. One is green and one is purple).
Spirit: These are the doors or destiny. Or should I say one is the door of destiny and one is the door of fate.
Hoods: So I guess I have to choose huh?
Spirit: Right.
Hoods: Any hints as to what they lead to?
Spirit: Yes….one of them shall lead to the future and the other will lead to tragedy.
Hoods: I see… (He looks at the doors). Which to choose? {Green is my favorite color; it represents the ability to go on, and is a harmonizing color. The answer is so easy. I choose…)
Spirit: (He looks on with a blank face as Hibiki chooses).
Hoods: (He points to the purple Door).
Spirit: Is that your final choice?
Hoods: (He looks strait at the door as if to be in a trance). Yes.
Spirit: Pass on through. (The door opens).
Magi-Kuriboh: Kuri…
Spirit: I will be here if you need help.
Hoods: But I need help now! The last I remember I was falling to my death while trying to save my captured sister.
Magician of Black magic: (His favorite monster who wears PURPLE stands in the door way). That’s why I’m here.
Hoods: Huh? Magician of Black Magic?!
MOBM: All you need is here.
Hoods: (Turning back he looks at the spirit man). Hey can I at least have a name to call you by?
Spirit: You can call me Kagemaru.
Hoods: Kagemaru….okay thanks! (He walks into the door way a bright light flashes. He closes his eyes. When he opens them he is hanging onto a bar that is sticking out of the cliff side). I‘m back? But he said that that door would lead to the future…
James: (Looking down smirking). That finished him.
Hoods: (He closes his eyes). It‘s my turn and I need a life saving card here! Heart of the cards….(A chain with a card on the end appears around his neck. The card glows). Guide me! I draw!! (As he draws a yellow streak of light curves from his deck to the card in his hand). Hm. (He looks at the card in his hand and then he looks up with a smile on). I knew that green door looked to good to be true! I understand. The only future is the one we make! Well in my future I save my sister! [ALT 2]
James: Hm?
Hoods: (He is being lifted back into the duel by the duel spirits of Escape Magician, Magi-Kuriboh and Magi-Kid. He is standing on the shoulders of Magician of Black Magic.)
James: What?!
Hoods: This is the turn I take you down!
James: I don’t know how you’re flying but don’t be stupid! There is nothing you can do to me while the seal of out here!
Hoods: Wrong!! I activate the effect of the Kurihorn on my field! By sending him to the graveyard I can add 1 removed from play Kuri monster to my hand! (Kurihorn blows the giant horn he holds and then Magi-Kuriboh flies into a card in his hand). I think it’s time to show you that you’re not the only one who can Synchro summon! I summon the tuner monster Magi-Synchron!
James: Magi-Synchron?
Hoods: Yeah! (A kid magician wearing white appears on the field).[ATK- 1200] [Level- 3]
James: That was your big move?!
Hoods: When he is normal summoned I can special summon level 3 or lower Magi monster from my graveyard in face up defense mode! I choose Magi-Kid! (The kid comes flipping onto the field). [DEF- 250] Now I will be turning my Level 3 Magi-Kid to my Level 3 Magi-Synchron! 3+3= 6 (Magi-Synchron turns into green encrypted circles and Magi-Kid flies through the circles becoming outline in orange as he moves. Magi-Synchron then bursts into 3 green Stars. The stars stretch out to the length of the 3 circles). The power of magic can only be felt by those who embrace it! Emerge from the realm of magic! (There is then a flash of light). Synchro Summon! Spellcaster unlocked, Bright Magician Girl!! (A dark magician girl with longer hair appears from a spell circle). [ATK- 2600]
James: (He smirks). You don’t have a spell or trap card face down! You Cant attack!
Hoods; (He smiles). My Bright Magician Girl isn’t effected by the effects of spell cards!
James: What?!
Hoods: First I use Magician’s Impenetrability! [ALT- 1] With this magic card when I activate a magic card this turn I don’t have to pay for it I am unaffected by card restrictions and any card that would be negated by a spell or trap you control is automatically negated! As for my Bright Magician Girl I use her special ability! Twice per turn I can search my deck for a magic card! (He does). Yes this should do. I activate the magic card Monster Reborn! This brings back 1 monster from either graveyard to my field! I choose Disguise Magician! [ATK- 1200] Then by tributing him I can use his effect to summon from my hand the Magician of Black Magic! (The magician returns smirking). [ATK- 2500] I use her effect again to bring another magic card to my hand. (He does). My magician girls rocks huh?
James: So what her attack points still don’t cut it!
Hoods: Oh yeah?! Well how about my Magician of Black Magic?
James: He’s even weaker!
Hoods: (He’s offended). Weak huh? I attack with Magician of Black Magic!
James: You don’t have a face down card, and your Magician of Black Magic IS affected my spells! You can’t attack!
Hoods: Not being able to attack without a spell or trap is a restriction, and I don’t have to pay attention to restrictions this turn!
James: Rush to your own death if you wish!
Hoods: I attack with my Magician of Black Magic!
James: I’ll survive! (He smirks). {My Sky skater has higher attack points and even if he does power up somehow Hyomous can’t be destroyed by battle.}
Hoods: Now I activate the quick-play spell card Mach Spell! When I attack with a magician-type monster I can tribute 1 monster on my field to make the attack direct!!
James: That can’t be!
Hoods: Black Magic Barrage!!!!
James: (He gets hit with the attack). Ahhh!!! [0000 lp]
 
In the dessert
Jessoi: Master….James has been defeated.
???: (He frowns).
James: I can’t believe I lost in a gliding duel.
???: (Voice in James’ head). You’ve failed Alabaster.
James: Master give me another chance! I can defeat him!
???: No your time has come!
James: Master please spare me!! (The giant seal of destruction shrinks to his size and sends a pillar of light over his body).
Hoods: What’s happening?!
James: (His body falls soulless).
Hoods: Whoa! (His monsters disappear)! Huh? (He looks down). Oh no! Ahhh!!! (He falls to spikes below).
Can Hoods find a way to save himself or is this the end of the….Prodigy?!!
