Episode 4- DRAW! Hoods vs. Delton
Hoods falls to the deadly spikes below.
Hoods: Ahh!!! (He closes his eyes thinking that he is going to die. He feels himself stop falling). Hm? (He opens his eyes and sees that some muscle bound guy with red hair is holding him by his collar).
Damon: Yo. (Damon is a man that helped Lantana raise Hibiki when he was young. Hoods looks at him like an uncle. He has a lot of money and is a guard for a princess that lives in there city. Yes a princess in a city. It’s not weird. He is also a pretty serious person most of the time).
Hoods: (He looks at Damon). Uhhh Damon…not that I’m not grateful that you caught me but, could you put me down now?
Damon: Sorry. (He lets Hoods on the ground which Hoods can see now looks like a studio).
Hoods: Damon it’s good to see you.
Damon: Same here. I was wondering if you were going to come back to America.
Hoods: So what is this place?
Damon: This is a place called studio 22.
Hoods: It’s a studio? When I first came here it looked like an empty warehouse.
Damon: This place is equipped with the latest technology. (He walks over to a machine).
Hoods: But this place was empty, where did this stuff come from?
Damon: The equipment in studio 22 works with duel energy.
Hoods: Ba….
Damon: Ah, I see so you know a bit about the ancient times.
Hoods: I guess so. Anyway about studio 22.…(Jumping back on the subject).
Damon: Well like I was saying, the equipment in here works with duel energy. The higher your duel energy the more you can sort of twist and turn the reality of this room.
Hoods: I see, so that means because James wanted to have a gilding duel and OBVIOUSLY had a lot of duel energy the room twisted to a stage that fits his desires.
Damon: James?
Hoods: (He looks around and sees James’ body). That guy right over there. (He points to James’ body which is now human like again but has bad burn marks on it).
Damon: Who? What happened in here Hibiki?
Hoods: (Walking over to James’ body). This freak challenged me to something called a gliding duel.
Damon: A gliding duel? (He looks a Hoods). There’s no such thing.
Hoods: What?
Damon: And who are you talking about? There’s no one in here except us...
Hoods: (He looks back in the spot that James was in a sees that his body was gone). But…(Had Hibiki imagined the whole duel?)
Damon: Are you feeling okay man?
Hoods: (He looks at Damon with a panicking face). But I did duel this guy, he turned into a devil and I was gliding and I was falling towards spikes then I ended up in this black room with a spirit and I was flying on Duel Monsters and-
Damon: (Cutting Hoods off because as you could imagine Hoods is starting to sound crazy). It must have been a long trip here; maybe you need to take a rest. Flying on Duel Monsters?
Hoods: I’m serious Damon. You have to believe me.
Damon: (He looks at Hoods and can see the distress in his eyes). Why are you here in America anyway?
Hoods: My sister was kidnapped, and brought here. It was at Domino City air port that I was told to meet her kidnapper. He brought me here and challenged me to a duel.
Damon: What Lantana was taken?
Hoods: Yes her and Riana. I am now a participant in this years World Dueling Tournament. The group who took her, who are descendants of the Alabastion thieves said that the only way I can get them back is to win the tournament!
Damon: Luckily for you I am one of the official sponsors of the tournament.
Hoods: What really?
Damon: This years World Dueling Tournament was held to honor the coronation of the new princess of Inujeka.
Hoods: She lives in Inujeka City?
Damon: Yeah. I paid for the entire tournament myself.
Hoods: I will save lantana.
Damon: Hoods there is something I need to give you.
Hoods: Huh?
Damon: Come with me. (As the towo prepare to walk out of the door they are ambushed by at 10 hooded thugs. The same guys that came to take Lantana).
Hoods: Hey…These are the guys that took my sister.
Damon: (He walks up to the group). I have a question to ask you guys. Where is Lantana Taioyu?
Thug: (One of the thugs comes up and punches Damon in the face).
Damon: (His face turns after being punched. He slowly turns his face back to the thug and doesn’t look happy. You would have thought that they wouldn't be stupid enough to start something with someone as muscular as Damon). You do know you just messed up right?
Thug: (The thug tries to hit him again).
Damon: (He catches the thug’s hand. He starts to squeeze it in his hand).
Thug: Ahhh! (He can feel his hand breaking).
Damon: (He kicks the thug causing him to fly into one of the machines). Anybody else want some?
Hoods: (He looks shocked). He has never seen Damon annoyed or angry.
Thugs: (The thugs attack).
Hoods: Hey! (He jumps in it and know it’s a 10 vs. 2 fight. He kicks one thug and uses the leverage from the kick to kick off of his chest to fly and punch another thug). Yaa! (One thug grabs him as 2 more start punching him in the stomach).
Damon: (7 of them are over whelming him and it just gets worst as 2 more show up). Crap!
Hoods: How are we supposed to fight them all?!
Damon: I’m not sure but just give it your all!
Hoods: I can’t move!
All the attention in the room is turned when a Duel Monsters card flies into the room and lands on a machine. Incomes a boy with brown hair and a black jacket who was grinning. He wasn’t there to talk!
Hoods: (He looks at the boy who is about a year or two younger than him). Delton!
Delton: (He stands there grinning. Delton is Damon‘s son who was a bit of a problem child in school because his ended up getting into a lot of fights. The fights where all defensive but he sent a lot of people home bleeding. He knew Hibiki back when they were around 4 years old when Hibiki lived in America. Before Hibiki moved to Japan with Lantana and met the twins they were tight. He once got in a 2 on 1 fight and was losing until Hibiki came and saved him. Since then he has looked at Hibki as his hero. Delton is the closest person to Hibiki besides Lantana and maybe Victor). Are you going to stand there all day or are we going to fight?! Draw!
5 thugs leave Damon’s side and 1 leaves Hoods’ side. The last 2 thugs crowd up behind Delton. They attack!
Delton: (He starts swinging and kicking. There was a barrage of attacks coming from Delton alone. About 7 seconds later all the thugs were stretched out on the floor).
The remaining thugs who were stunned were taken down by Hoods and Damon.
Hoods: (He runs up to Delton). Wow, I didn’t except to see you here. (He smiles).
Delton: (He grins). Well I was coming here to see what the duel energy is able to produce now. (He punches Hibiki’s shoulder). Good to see you back again Hoods!
Hoods: (Rubbing his shoulder). Wow, this place must get used a lot. Dude I did a gliding duel.
Delton: Never heard of it, come on let’s get back to my house, there is another person there that I’m sure that you’ll want to see. (Delton and Damon leave studio 22 with Hoods close behind them).
Hoods: (He stops before exiting and turns around. He looks at the ceiling if the building and points his index and middle finger out). That’s how it’s played! (He says this to James. He exit’s the building).
In Japan.
Victor: (He is home sneaking out the back door).
Victoria: (She is standing in the backyard with her arms folded).
Victor: (He starts running not watching where he was going and bumps right into her).
Victoria: Where are you going mr.?
Victor: (Picking his book bag back up). I am going to America to help Hibiki-san.
Victoria: (She smiles). I figured you would try something like this.
Victor: Don’t try to stop me.
Victoria: I’m not going to.
Victor: You can’t stop me. I have to help him, he is my best friend! I’ll…(He binks). Wait huh?
Victoria: I said I won’t try to stop you.
Victor: But aren’t you going to give me the tsk, tsk, tsk?
Victoria: Nope.
Victor: The wagging finger of justice?
Victoria: Nope
Victor: The disapproving neck of the gods?
Victoria: O_o What?
Victor: Uh forget I said that.
Victoria: How do you plan on getting there?
Victor: (He smiles and goes into his bag where he grabs two tickets). These are tickets for a free plane ride to America to watch the World Dueling Tournament. Hibiki-san left these inside the box for his new duel disk.
Victoria: That’s the tournament that Hoods is participating in.
Victor: Yup.	
Victor: (She places her hands on her hips). Well then do you know who that other ticket is for?
Victor: I have an idea.
Victoria: Me.
Victor: So does that mean-
Victoria: Yes, I’m going. I want to help Hoods as well.
Victor: (He hands her the ticket). Come on times wasting.! (He starts running).
Victoria: So pushy! (She smiles seeing her little brother become so heroic).
Victor: {Hold on Hibiki-san, we’re coming!}
In America at Damon’s house.
Hoods: (He is in the house talking to Delton and his little sister Glamia).
Glamia: (She is about 4 years old and has light blue hair that is in two pony tails. She has 8 bangs that fall over her face centered by a peek that makes her bangs look a bit heart shaped. Her pink Sailors outfit complements her pink eyes. Her voice is adorable seeing that she is still trying to master talking). Hebeke what are you doing hewa? (*pronounce her words the same way they are spelled. It‘s a child’s way a talking. Use baby talk to help yourself).
Hoods: (He smiles). I will be in a tournament.
Glamia: U mean da world dueling tonamet? That’s Amazy.
Hoods: A-Amazy?
Delton: She means amazing. I guess you could say that it’s sort of her catch phrase now a days because she is able to say the word amazing perfectly.
Hoods: That’s cool. (He is smiling but on the inside he is sad because he knows that Glamia and his niece Riana are super close. He couldn’t bare to tell her what has happened to Riana).
Glamia: Hebeke, when is Riana coming down here?
Hoods: Well if all goes well, I’d say sometime this month.
Glimia: (She jumps up and down). Yay! Yay!
Hoods: (He goes outside and starts walking down the street. Delton follows him).
Delton: Yo Hoods!
Hoods: Huh? (He looks back and sees Delton following him). Hey buddy.
Delton: Where ya going?
Hoods: I came out to find something to eat at a stand.
Delton: Here’s one. (He and Hoods get sandwiches).
Hoods: (While Walking). So what do you guys do for fun around here?
Delton: Play video games, sports, free running, but my personal favorite thing…...dueling.
Hoods: You duel now?
Delton: yup.
Hoods: So I guess Duel Monsters is big even all the way out here.
Delton: Yeah. In fact I am the Town’s number 1 duelist.
Hoods: (He stops walking). Really?
Delton: Yeah.
Hoods: Would you like to duel against me?
Delton: Oh yeah!
A couple of seconds later the two are standing in their dueling positions with duel disks on.
In the dessert.
???: (He sits near the stone of Stomnimite).
Jessoi: Master when are you going to give me what you promised?
???: In due time Jessoi. Nothing Comes without patience.
Jessoi: -_- Alright… (She walks into the cell room that Lantana is being held in).
Lantana: Hey your name is Jessoi right?
Jessoi: Yes. 
Lantana: Is your last name by any chance Nekolass?
Jessoi: (Before she could answer her master calls her back into his room).
???: Jessoi would you do me a favor and watch the stone for me?
Jessoi: Yes. (She sits down).
???: Also it would seem that the prodigy is dueling again. Keep an eye on him.
Jessoi: Yes master. (She looks at her watch).
???: (He walks into the cell room) Lantana.
Lantana: You are an evil man. Why are you doing this? To finish what some people from ancient times started? Not a good reason!
???: You can be a feisty young woman. Such passion should be rewarded.
Lantana: What’s that supposed to mean?
???: Do you want to leave?
Lantana: Of course!
???: (He opens the door of her cell.)
Lantana: (Her chains disappear). What the?
???: You are free to go. I won’t stop you. (He smiles sincerely).
Lantana: (She doesn’t know whether or not to trust him, but she figures truth or no truth that door is open, she’s going for it. She stands up and runs right past him). {What, he wasn’t kidding?}! (She runs around a corner thinking she will get way but gets clotheslined by a man in a robe with the millennium eye symbol on it. This knocks her out).
???: (He slowly walks back up to her body). I told you I would not stop you and I didn’t. I am a man of my word. Throw her back in the cell.
Robbed man: (He tosses her in recklessly).
???: You will not interfere. (He steps in the cell and kneels down over her head whispering in her ear). Do not question my subordinates. (He stands up and walks out and the robbed man closes the cell door. The boss then turns to Jessoi). I have a job for you.
Jessoi: (She smiles, happy to do anything her asks of her).
In America. (*Said in the voice of Bandit Keith).
Hoods: You ready?
Delton: I’m sooo ready!
Hoods & Delton: Duel!! [4000 lp]
Hoods: It’s Time to Play the Game! Challenger goes first! I draw! (He has a vision about himself Delton, KG and 2 other people who are silhouetted. They are standing on a pillar looking out over the horizon). {Is Delton one of the duelists of my generation?}
Delton: What‘s wrong Hoods?
Hoods: Nothing. (He smiles and he looks at his cards). Okay here’s my move. I’m going to summon one of my favorites! I summon Escape Magician in attack mode! (The smooth Escape Magician comes down spinning). [ATK- 1400] From there I throw down a face down and call it a turn.
Delton: {I get to duel my old best friend. This is awesome}. Okay, okay! I Draw! [Hand- 6] I first summon Skull Bone Lancer! (A Skeleton with a Lance in his hand appears in a flash of sparks). [ATK- 1500] [Hand- 5]
Hoods: (He smiles). So you use Bone monsters!
Delton: Yeah, and I’ll show you what they can do! I attack your Escape Magician with my Skull Bone Lancer! (The lacer makes a fancy bone and goes into stab Escape Magician).
Hoods: Not so fast! I activate the trap card Magician‘s Reversal Spell # 2- Stop!! (His trap lifts up showing a picture of a Spellcaster Twirling his staff canceling out the attack of Gazelle the King of Mystical Beast ).
Delton: (He grins). A trap huh?
Hoods: If I control a Spellcaster type monster I can negate 1 attack by the opponent. (Escape Magician starts spinning his staff causing Skull Bone Lancer to slow down and come to a complete stop).
Delton: I guess I set 2 face down cards and end my turn.[Hand- 3] (Two cards appear by his feet). 
Hoods: My turn! I draw! {I can see that Delton is holding back. I wonder what his full blown strategy is}. I summon Magi-Kid! (The kid comes flipping out). [DEF- 250]
Delton: Not really! I activate my face down card! Acid Quick Sand. When you summon a monster, if both of us control a monster all monsters on the field are annihilated!
Hoods: (He watches as Magi-Kid flips right into the sand. Escape Magician, who was already standing in the sand starts sinking. Hoods smiles). My Escape Magician can’t be destroyed by card effects up to Two times per turn!
Delton: Say what?! (Escape Magician starts floating using a spell escaping the quick sand just in time. Skull Bone Lancer wasn’t so lucky. He is pulled under).
Hoods: (He smiles). Thanks for getting rid of your monster! Saves me the effort! I attack with Escape Magician! Attack Delton directly! Magical Kyaku!
Delton: (Escape Magician jumps over and flips forward. He then comes down with an awesome kick powered by magical energy).
Hoods: How do you like that?!
Delton: Just fine! I activate my other face down card! (His trap lifts up before Escape Magician gets there). Skull Sighting! It automatically activates in a turn that a Skull monster I controlled was destroyed and you declare an attack! I can send all cards on the field back to the owners hands! (All the cards on the field turn yellow and return to their hands).
Hoods: (He looks at the field and both players hands.). I see….you started the duel over huh? {He actually planned for this. Talk about dueling potential}.
Delton: (He grins).
Hoods: (He smiles).
Delton: I see your loving it.
Hoods: You know it! Well let’s continue, I place 1 card face down and end my turn!
Delton: Here goes! I draw! [Hand- 4] Now to show you what my deck is all about! I activate the magic card Pot of Greed! [Hand- 3] This allows me to draw 2 cards! I draw! [Hand- 5] Then I play Rising Skull! (A card with a picture of a skeleton coming up form a grave). [Hand- 4] This lets me place 1 monster with Skull in its card name from my grave back on the top of my deck. (He places his Skull Bone Lancer back on top of his deck). Next I play a very special card known as Draw a Card! [Hand- 3]
Hoods: Draw a card?
Delton: Yeah, with this I can call the type of card on the top of my deck. That being monster, spell or trap! If I call it right then I get to draw a card!
Hoods: What happens if you get it wrong?!
Delton: I shuffle the deck and draw a card!
Hoods: {In that sense this card has no back draw it is just like my favorite magic card Pick A Card! Plus since he just placed the card from his grave on top of his deck he already knows what’s there. Smart}.
Delton: I guess that I have a monster coming up. (He picks up his card and grins). Hey I do! I draw! (He Draws). [Hand- 4] Now I summon the Skull Psch Fighter! (A skeleton Wearing battle armor with an ax in hand appears in a flash of sparks). [ATK- 1600] [Hand- 3]
Hoods: What do you plan on using him for?
Delton: When he is normal summoned a die is rolled! (A giant die appears on the field and starts rolling in circles). Whatever the die lands on is the number of cards I am allowed to draw from my deck! (It keeps rolling). My Skull Psch Fighter then losses ATK equal to the number rolled. If it lands on 6 then my Skulls attack becomes 0.
Hoods: (He watches closely).
Delton: (It lands on 5). Great! That’s the best number you can get! I draw!(He draws 5 cards). [Hand- 8] [ATK- 1100]
Hoods: Darn how many cards do you plan on drawing? (He is annoyed face).
Delton: (He puts his thumb up). More than you can imagine!
Hoods: Hm…
Delton: But as of and for right Now I’ll place 3 cards face down. [Hand- 5] Then I play the equip magic, Broken Bamboo Sword! [Hand- 4] (Skull Phys fighter has a broken bamboo sword in his other hand).
Hoods: What’s that do?
Delton: Practically nothing, but every card has its use in the game.
Hoods: (He smiles). That’s for sure.
Delton: The Broken Bamboo Sword increases the attack of the equipped monster by 0 attack points.
Hoods: Hold on…0?
Delton: Yeah zero. Next up is the magic card Golden Bamboo Sword! [Hand- 3] If I control a monster who is equipped with a Bamboo sword equip magic card I can draw 2 cards! I draw again! [Hand- 5] Next I attack you directly with My Skull Psyche Fighter! (The skeleton slashes Hibiki with his now Golden Bamboo Sword).
Hoods: Ahh! [2900 lp] (He looks up smiling). Not bad Delton.
Delton: I end my turn! (He grins hard).
Hoods: {Okay so it’s no secret that his dueling strategy is drawing cards. The problem is that most strategies that involve drawing cards are just used to get the right card, but he seems to be using it just to draw. Add to that he has a full hand of cards. Actually almost just under the limit. He has 5 cards in his hand. Had he ended his turn with 7 cards he would have had to discard 1 card. He using the drawing mechanic of this game to its full potential. That shows that he is drawing with a purpose. I am not in a good position….but I love it}! I draw! Let’s see if I can do something about all of this. Oh I know! I summon Magician’s Guardna in defense position. (A magician with a shield appears kneeling down behind his shield). (DEF- 2400) I place another card face down and by showing you that face down card….(His card lifts up showing Delton his Magician’s Spell # 1- Appear from air). I can special summon Magi-Kid from my graveyard! (The Kid comes from the ground and goes into a awesome pose). [DEF- 250]
Delton: That little guy must be pretty awesome for you to put him on the frontlines like that.
Hoods: Oh yeah he is!
Delton: Let’s see here, I draw! [Hand- 6] Since my Skull Psch Fighter isn’t strong enough to do anything to your Magician’s Guardna, I am going to go a different route!
Hoods: What route is that?
Delton: By releasing my monster I summon my favorite card! I summon Lightning Skull! (A thunder storm appears over Delton’s part of the field as a Skeleton still filled with flesh behind his bones comes from the clouds with electricity surging though his body. It looks like a skinner version of the Summon Skull). [ATK- 2500] [Hand- 5]
Hoods: Those are some impressive points your skull is packing!
Delton: (He grins). You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! I now use the effect of my Lightning Skull! Once per turn I can target 1 monster on the field and change its battle position!
Hoods: What?!
Delton: Yeah! I change your Magician’s Guardna to attack mode!
Hoods: [ATK- 400] Not good.
Delton: Now I attack with my Lightning Skull! Lightning Flash! (The stormy sky lets loose a bolt of lightning which is aimed right for Magician‘s Guardna‘ head.).
Hoods: That I can’t let that go through! I activate my face down card! (A trap lifts up). It’s the continuous trap Over Protection! (The trap shows a picture of a boy jumping in the way of a monster who is trying to kill a girl). Now when a monster on my field would be destroyed by battle I can negate the attack and deal 800 damage to myself! (He looks at his monster). Don’t worry I’ll take this one off of your hands! Guard 
Delton: He’s blocking for his monster? That’s so cool. (Magician’s Guardna places his shield up over his head blocking the lightning and sending it towards Hibiki).
Hoods: (He gets zapped). Ah! [2100 lp]
Delton: Well wither way I activate one of my face down cards! (His trap shows). Jar of Greed! (A Red jar that looks like the Pot of Greed with a skinnier face appears). This lets me draw 1 card. I draw. (He draws). [Hand- 6] I end my turn. [4000 lp]
Hoods: My turn! (He draws). {His Lightning Skull has 2500 attack points. If I’m going to beat it I need to beat it, I need to go for…}. (He looks in his hand). {A monster with 2500 attack points}. Okay Delton. I sacrifice my 2 monsters….(His monsters turn into colored orbs and flatten then crash together). to summon my favorite monster! I summon Magician of Black Magic!
Delton: No way! I activate my 2nd face down card! Skelhell! When you summon a monster with ATK equal to or less than the attack of 1 Skull monster I control your monster is destroyed!
Hoods: (He swings his arm)b Not today dude! I use the effect of a monster in my hand! Magi-Savior! (The card in his hand starts to glow; a teenage magician wearing blue jumps out of the card and send a magic blast at the trap destroying it).
Delton: What?!
Hoods: (His magician lands on the field). My Magi-Savior’s effect activates when you try to destroy a monster on my field by way of card effect. He negates the effect of your spell or trap and special summons himself! [ATK- 1600]
Delton: (He smiles). I should have known.
Hoods: (He wags his finger at Delton). tsk ,tsk, tsk. You didn’t think that I’d just let you destroy my favorite monster like that did you?
A crowd starts to gather. Hibiki and Delton are now surrounded by residents of the city. Not too far away Jessoi is walking down a road looking for something. From down the street a person riding a motor cycle flies past. Jessoi catches a glimpse of long brown hair flying back from the back of helmet of the rider telling that there is a female riding the motor cycle. Figuring that she could find information on what she was looking for she holds out her thumb to try to get the rider to stop for her.
Rider: (Stops for Jessoi). Yeah? You looking to hitch a ride?
Jessoi: (She smiles). Yes.
Rider: Well sorry but I can’t help you. I have places to go.
Jessoi: The place that I’m trying to get to isn’t that far away.
Rider: (She takes off her helmet revealing a very beautiful but tough looking young woman). Okay so where to?
Jessoi: (She gets onto the back of the Motor Cycle). Just outside of Inujeka.
Rider: (She places her helmet back on). Okay…but hold on extremely tight.
Jessoi: You got it. (The two take off). By the way I‘m Jessoi what‘s your name?
Rider: (She can’t hear Jessoi over the loud sound of her revving engine). What?!
Jessoi: My name is Jessoi Nekolass!! What’s yours?!!
Alana: My name is Alana Huntington!!
Jessoi: So what do you do for a living?!!
Alana: Let’s just say I help search for people!! I use really special equipment to make sure I get the job done.
Jessoi: That must be a pretty exciting life!!
Alana: Not as of late!!
Jessoi: Why is that?!!
Alana: Because the person I’m looking for seemed to have disappeared from the map!!
Jessoi: Really?!!
Alana: Yeah, his records were all erased from the governments archives as well!!
Jessoi: You’ll get him!
Alana: Yeah I know!! (They zoom off).
At the duel.
Delton: It looks to me like these people want some entertainment.
Hoods: (He smiles). Yeah true. So let’s give them what they want!
Delton: Yeah!
Hoods: Time for me to make a comeback!
Inside the crowd is also Delton’s little sister Glamia sitting on the shoulders of her other brother Korekuta. Korekuta is the oldest of the 3 siblings and has never really seen eye to eye with Delton but was still cheering for him in this match.
Glamia: Heeeeeyyy. Hebeke is duwling!
Korekuta: Yeah he is.
Glamia: He is duwling Delton! Delton is the best Duwler around right?
Korekuta: Yeah he is.
Glamia: (She looks down at Korekuta smiling). Dat means dat he is going to win right?!
Korekuta: (He looks up at her). Yeah he is.
Hoods: First of all I attack with my Magician of Black Magic! Both of our monsters have 2500 attack points, and will be destroyed at the same time!
Delton: Not quite! I activate my last face down! (A trap lifts up). Lightning Shock! This card activates right before damage calculation when 1 of my Lightning monsters would be destroyed!
Hoods: {He also uses the lightning archetype too eh?! I guess that is just perfect for him right now, since he controls Lightning Skull. As long as his skull remains on the field he basically has instant access to both his Lightning and Skull archetypes seeing that it‘s name is the combination of both archetypes}.
Delton: It sends the attacking monster back to its owner’s hand!
Hoods: (Magician of Black Magic goes flying back to Hibiki’s hand). It’s not that easy! I activate my face down card! (A quick play spell card lifts up). Its Magician’s Spell # 1- appear from air!
Delton: {He has had that card down for so long that I forgot that he had it and that he showed it to me}!
Hoods: With this by removing 1 monster in your graveyard from play I can special summon 1 Magician monster! So by removing your Skull Psch Fighter I can special Summon my Magician of Black Magic! (The magic appears in a purple haze almost as if he never left).
Delton: And he is back again!
Hoods: Yup! I now attack your Lightning Skull with my Magician of Black Magic! Blast Magic Blast!
Delton: One problem! I activate the effect of a monster in my hand! Lightning Carter! If I remove this card from play I can play 1 trap card from my hand during either players turn! [Hand- 4]
Hoods: Not Good!
Delton: The trap I activate is Bone of Steel! By targeting 1 Bone monster on my field I can switch its position and it can’t be destroyed by battle!
Hoods: (Magician of Black Magic Points his staff and shoots a blast of purple energy at its opponent).
Delton: [DEF- 1200] (He watches as the blast hits Lightning Skull and doesn’t do any damage). [4000 lp]
Hoods: [2100 lp] Well I place 1 card face down and end my turn.
Glamia: Wow look at da scowa. Delton is beating Hebeke hard.
Hoods: I can’t destroy his Lightning Skull by battle. I have to find a way to turn this duel around.
Delton: My turn! I draw! [Hand- 5] First I play the field card Lightning Draw! (A virtual Sky appears over the two of them). [Hand- 4] There will be more about that later. For right now I activate the magic card Skull Destruction Beam! Now if I control a Skull monster I can destroy 1 monster on the field. [Hand- 3]
Hoods: My magician.
Delton: The monster that I choose to destroy is….(He points to his Monster). Lightning Skull!
Hoods: What?! You’re going to destroy your own monster?!
Delton: Yeah! You see a monster equipped with Bone of Steel cannot change it’s battle position. So to take that away I needed to first take him off the field! My next card is Monster Reborn! I can special Summon 1 monster from either graveyard! [Hand- 2] as I’m sure you guess I’m bringing back…
Hoods: Lightning Skull.
Delton: You know me too well! (He grins and slaps the card onto the disk). (The virtual storm appears again as Lightning Skull appears). [ATK- 2500] Now I will equip him with the magic card Skull Ram! (A helmet with ram horns appears on Lightning Skulls head). [Hand- 1] Now when he attacks if he would be destroyed by battle I can send this card to the graveyard instead to keep him living! Now I attack your Magician of Black Magic! (Lightning Skull Starts running at Magician of Black Magic with his head down and horns pointing).
Hoods: Black Magician!
Delton: Since our monsters have the same attack points they would both be destroyed but by removing his helmet my Skull survives!
Hoods: (His monster is skewered).
Delton: Lastly I activate the effect of Skull Treasure! By discarding this card form my hand during the end phase if this is the last card in my hand I can draw 3 cards. [Hand- 3]
Hoods: {That’s it. I have to make a comeback right here, right now}! (He Places his fingers on his deck and closes his eyes. Magi-Kuriboh appears and sitting on his head). I draw!! (He holds his hand out to the side). {This is the card I need. I can feel it}! (He looks at the card he drew). Yes! First I activate my face down card! Monster Copy Machine! Now if I pay 500 Life points I can special summon a token with the same stats as your monster. [1600 lp] (A camera appears and takes a picture of Lightning Skull then a blue Lightning Skull appears on Hibiki’s field). [ATK- 2500] and don’t think your slick. I know the effect of your lightning draw field card! During the stand by phase of a player that player gets to draw cards equal to the number of Lightning monsters they control and since I now control 1 I draw 1 card! I draw! Of course due to my Monster Copy Machine you are allowed to set 1 trap cad from your hand.
Delton: He sets a card. 
Hoods: I activate my favorite magic card Pick a Card!
Delton: Pick a Card?!
Hoods: Yeah. (He takes his deck of his duel disk and starts shuffling it while walking over to Delton).
Delton: What’s the deal?
Hoods: (He spreads his cards out face down towards Delton). With this card you will choose a random card from my deck and that card will come to my hand. Let me let you know though I promise that the card you give me will be the card I use to beat you.
Delton: What?!
Hoods: so without further ado. Pick a card, any card!
Delton: (He picks the center card).
Hoods: (He places that card in his hand and shuffles his deck while walking back. He places his deck back into the duel disk). Cool! That will be the card I use later to beat you.
Korekuta: He is bluffing. There is no way he can predict that he will be able to win with that card. I’d be surprised if he can come back from a score like 4000 to 1600.
Hoods: I play pot of greed; I can now draw 2 cards! (He draws). I play Monster Reborn! I bring back Magician of Black Magic! (The magician returns….again).
Delton: Man I just can’t get rid of that monster for good.
Hoods: No, no you can’t. I use the effect of Magician of Black Magic! Now I can pay 1000 life points to target 1 dark monster on the field. My magician gains attack points equal to half of that monsters attack points. [600 lp]
Lightning Skull- (A purple aura surrounds him as he gets weaker). [ATK- 2500] [ATK- 1250]
Magician of Black Magic- [ATK- 2500] [ATK- 3750]
Hoods: I attack with my Lightning Skull copy! Lightning Strike! (The skeleton attacks his double).
Delton: Whoa! I remove another Lightning Cater from my hand to activate a trap from my hand! I activate Lightning Rebounder! (Lightning Skull holds a mirror).Now if I control a Lightning monster when you declare an attack I can destroy 1 monster on your field with less attack than your attacking monster! So I destroy your Savior Magician! (The lightning hit the mirror and bounced off hitting Hoods’ magician explodes. More lightning was shot out destroying Lightning Skull but also still bouncing and destroying the copy).
Hoods: Now all that’s left is you. I attack you directly with Magician of Black Magic! Black Magic Blast! (The magician points his staff and shoots a blast of magic energy at Delton which hits square on).
Delton: Ahh!! [250 lp]
Glamia: Wow dat was so coowa!
Delton: That was a good move but not enough to drop my life points to zero! But your are about to! I activate my face down card! (His trap lifts up slowly). Underworld Skull Explosion!!! By Removing 1 Skull monster in my graveyard from play, (He removes Lightning Skull). I deal damage to you equal to that monsters attack Points!! That’s 2500!!!
Hoods: What?! You’re kidding me!!
Delton: (From behind Delton there is a massive explosion of energy and then beam of energy shoots at Hibiki).
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!! Dust flies everywhere!
Glamia: (She covers her nose and mouth). Well dats it! Delton Wins!
Korekuta: I told you he wouldn’t lose!
Hoods: (The crowd around has totally been pulled into the duel. When the smoke clears…) [600 lp]
Delton: How are your life points still the same?! You should have lost!
Hoods: (He smiles as Magi-Kuriboh sits on his field glowing orange). I’m activating the card that you gave me with Pick a Card….. Magi-Kuriboh! Her effect allows me to discard her from my hand when I would take effect damage! She negates the damage I would have taken and sends it back at you….Doubled!
Delton: But!
Hoods: Go Magi-Kuriboh! Magi-Reflection! (She sends the blast back at Delton knocking him down and causing him to slide back a bit).
Delton: Ahh!! [0000 lp]
Hoods: (Everyone is still in shock. Hibiki walks up to Delton).
Delton: (He looks up).
Hoods: (Hibiki points his index and middle fingers at Delton). That’s how it’s played! (the crowd cheers).
Glamia: Hebeke won? Wow, he is coowa.
Hoods: Come on let’s get home. It’s getting late.
Delton. Yeah.
Delton: (He smiles and stands up). Okay you got me.
Hoods: Good game. (They start laughing. The screen freezes on Hoods as he helps Delton up, now the new # 1 duelist in the town).
With Hibiki being watched by the hooded leader of the Alibastions, Jessoi on the search for Hoods, and Victor and Victoria on their way to America things are bound to get exciting. Keep reading to find out what happens to….The Prodigy!
