Duel!"
Takashi: 4000 LP
West: 4000 LP
"I'm first." West declared. "Draw!"
The young boy drew a card from his deck and placed it into his hand. Once he did that, he took another card and placed it onto his Monster Card Zone.
"I Summon: Celtic Guardian, in Attack Mode!"
Celtic Guardian: ATK 1400 DEF 1200 LVL 4
Upon placing the card onto his Duel Disk, a bright light illuminated West's side of the field. Soon, an elf knight appeared and stood in front of him as it held a sword in its right hand. Once it was on the field, Wes grabbed another card from his hand. This time however, he inserted it into the Spell/Trap Zone of his Duel Disk. The card appeared face-down on the field, right behind Celtic Guardian.
"I then set one card face-down on the field and end my turn."
Takashi nodded his head in approval as he knew that it was his turn now. So he proceeded to gently place his right hand on the top of his deck.
"It's my turn." He said. "Draw!"
The young man swiftly drew a card from the deck and looked at it for a few moments. Once he finished, Takashi placed the card onto his Duel Disk's Monster Card Zone.
"I Summon: Luster Dragon, in Attack Mode!"
Luster Dragon: ATK 1900 DEF 1600 LVL 4
Just like when west placed Celtic Guardian's card onto his Monster Card Zone, a bright flash of light appeared as Takashi placed his card on his Duel Disk. From that light, a beautiful blue dragon with sapphire scales appeared onto Takashi's side of the field. The dragon glared at Celtic Guardian and proceeded to roar at the knight.
"Luster Dragon, attack Celtic Guardian!"
Luster Dragon obeyed its master's commanded and released a powerful blast of blue energy from its mouth. The attack struck Celtic Guardian, destroying the knight completely and draining a portion of West's Life Points.
West: 3500 LP
Once the attack ended, Takashi noticed that West was a little shaken up by it. Despite the fact that monsters that they summoned were holograms, they looked very realistic. This was due to the Solid Vision system which installed during old days of Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba. The purpose behind the Solid Vision system was to bring a sense of realism towards the game of Duel Monsters, thus making the game far more excited than it would be if played on a table.
"Are you okay, West?" Takashi asked.
West got himself refocused as he began to shake his head for a few seconds. Once he finished he looked towards Takashi and nodded his head in approval. Upon receiving his answer, Takashi continued on with his turn as he took one card from his hand and inserted it into his Spell/Trap Zone. Like with West, Takashi's card appeared face-down on the field.
"I end my turn by setting one card face-down."
"Ok, then It's my turn again." West replied. "Draw!"
The young boy drew a card from his deck and placed it into his hand. He then examined all of his cards, wanting to make sure that the next card he chooses a card that will help him. After about a minute, he grabbed a card and placed it horizontally onto his Monster Card Zone.
"For this turn, I Summon the Tuner Monster: Tune Warrior, in Defense Mode!"
Tune Warrior: ATK 1600 DEF 200 LVL 3
Another bright flash of light appeared on West's side of the field as a red robot was summoned onto his field. The robot proceeded to kneel down to one knee and crossed its arm, taking a defensive position in front of its master. Upon seeing the monster, a small smile appeared on Takashi's face.
"A Tuner Monster…" He said. "With that card in your deck, it must mean that you have a Synchro Monster."
"That's right." West replied, also with a smile on his face. "I got it when I at the card shop. I've been practicing like crazy so that I can properly play it when we dueled."
In the game of Duel Monsters, there were special monster that were unlike the normal monster that people play. Synchro Monsters are one of those monsters. To summon one, a Duelist must first have a regular monster and unique type of monster called a Tuner Monster. The level of the Synchro Monster that the Duelist wants to Summon must equal the combined level of the Tuner and regular monsters used to form it.
"It's cool that you now have a Synchro Monster of your own, West." Takashi said with approval. "I hope I get the chance to see it in this Duel."
West nodded his head. He knew by Takashi's words that while he wanted to see the Synchro Monster, he wasn't going to make it him to summon it. Realizing that, West looked through his hand again and picked out a card from it. He then inserted the card into his Spell/Trap Zone, which appeared face-down on the field.
"I set one card face-down and end my turn." He said.
"It's my turn again." Takashi said. "Draw!"
Upon drawing a card and placing it into his hand, Takashi examined West's side of the field very carefully. He saw that his young friend hand one monster out and two face-down cards. He could tell from this that the face-downs were going to be used to protect West's monster. At least until his brings out the monster needed to perform a Synchro Summoning.
To make sure his young opponent doesn't get the chance to summon his monster, Takashi grabbed a card from his hand and placed it horizontally onto his Monster Card Zone.
"I Summon the Tuner Monster: Dread Dragon, in Defense Mode!"
Dread Dragon: ATK 1100 DEF 400 LVL 2
The bright flash of light illuminated the field again as a brown dragon with short wings appeared on the field. The dragon stood next to Luster Dragon and proceeded to take a defensive position in front of Takashi.
"Next, I'll have Luster Dragon attack Tune Warrior!"
Luster Dragon roared and started gathering power so it could release its attack. As that was happening, West pressed a button on his Duel Disk. This action activated one of his face-down cards, which started to flip up.
"I activate the Trap Card: Negate Attack!" He declared. "With this Trap, I can negate your Luster Dragon's attack and end your Battle Phase!"
As Luster Dragon fired its attack, a giant vortex appeared in front of Tune Warrior. The vortex sucked up the attack, protecting the warrior in the process.
"Nice move there West." Takashi said with a smile. "You're starting to think more strategically."
"Well…I did learn from the best." The young boy replied, having remembered that he learned most of his skills from Takashi himself. "You were the one who always said that I needed to protect my monsters better."
"That's true…But I also told that you need to protect your Life Points as well."
A confused expression appeared on West's face as he saw Takashi grab another card and insert it into his Spell/Trap Zone.
"I activate the Spell Card: Meteor of Destruction!" He declared. "With the power of this Spell, I can inflict 1000 points of damage towards your Life Points!"
Both Duelists looked towards the ceiling as they saw a giant rainbow colored meteor appeared onto the field. The meteor quickly made its way over towards West and exploded upon making contact with him.
West: 2500 LP
As he watched the smoke clear and saw that West was alright, Takashi looked through all the cards in his hand again. Once he saw that he didn't have another other moves to make this turn, the young man looked towards his opponent.
"I'm done for now West. I end my turn."
Upon hearing Takashi say that he ended his turn, a huge smile appeared on West's face. He then looked towards him as he placed his hand on his deck.
"I did it!" He yelled with an excited tone of voice. "I finally did it!"
"Did what?" Takashi asked.
"This!" The young boy replied. "It's my turn. Draw!"
West swiftly drew a card from his deck and quickly placed it into his hand. Once he did that, he pressed another button on his Duel Disk so that his other face-down card could activate.
"I activate the Trap Card: Call of the Haunted! With this Trap Card, I can revive one of the monsters that rest in my Graveyard. The monster that I choose is my Celtic Guardian!"
As the Trap Card flipped up, both Duelists saw Celtic Guardian pop out it and stand next to Tune Warrior. Upon seeing both monsters, a smile appeared on Takashi's face as he finally figured out why West said he did it.
"Alright Takashi…" The young boy said. "This is it! I Tune my Level 4 Celtic Guardian with my Level 3 Tune Warrior! Great spark of the sky, pass judgment on those that spread evil! Synchro Summon! Shine, Lightning Warrior!"
Lightning Warrior: ATK 2400 DEF 1200 LVL 7
Tune Warrior and Celtic Guardian quickly jumped into the air as both monsters started to glow. Soon, Tune Warrior transformed into 3 green rings and placed them inside of Celtic Guardian. Once that happened, Celtic Guardian transformed into 4 shining stars. Then, a bright flash of light consumed the stars and a new monster appeared onto West's side of the field. The monster was a warrior wearing silver armor with two red scarfs, one of its neck and the other on its waist. The warrior also had spiky yellow hair ad was wearing a silver mask across its face.
The sight of the monster impressed Takashi as it was the first time that he's seen West summon a Synchro Monster before. This action made him feel really proud as his young friend was on his way to becoming a True Duelist.
