Inzektor Weevil (Part 3)

Previously…   

            “I’ll play Inzektor Ant (200 ATK) in Attack Mode and thanks to its effect, it gets my Inzektor Giga-Mantis as an Equip Card! Giga-Mantis equips to Inzektor Ant, raising its ATK to 2400. Too bad there’s nothing to defend you as I attack directly! Weevil’s LP drops to 3700. That should do for now,” stated Missy. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I’ll Summon Inzektor Firefly (100 ATK) in Attack Mode and give it the Inzektor Hornet card, which I’ll promptly send to the Graveyard and destroy your Ant! Inzektor Ant and the equipped Giga-Mantis are destroyed. It won’t do much damage, but you’ll have even less Life Points than before so Firefly, attack Missy directly! Missy’s LP drops to 4500. Give up yet?” responded Weevil. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I use Pot of Greed and draw twice. Next, I use Monster Reborn on your Bumblebee (2200 ATK) and equip it with the Giga-Mantis in my Grave! This move will have you feeling the sting of defeat as it raises Bumblebee's ATK! Bumblebee's ATK becomes 2400. Bumblebee, attack Weevil directly! Weevil's LP drops to 1300. I'll Set 1 card and end my turn," explained Missy. (Hand: 0 cards)

            "I'll play my Doom Dozer (Info) (2800 ATK) in Attack Mode by banishing Firefly and Dragonfly from my Graveyard. Doom Dozer, put my Bumblebee back where it belongs!" shouted Weevil.

            "It's staying right where it is thanks to Zekt Conversion (Info)! This allows me to equip Bumblebee to Doom Dozer and then steal Doom Dozer for myself. Nice knowing ya, Weevil. You're about to be squashed like the beetle you are," countered Missy as Doom Dozer moved to her field.

            "It can't be! I don't have any other cards out to protect me and nothing in my hand! I have no choice but to end my turn. Do your worst, Missy," realized Weevil.

            "Believe me, I will. Doom Dozer, strike down Weevil's remaining LP!" declared Missy. Weevil's LP drops to 0.

            "You got lucky this time. I would've won had it not been for your Trap Card," remarked Weevil.        

            "No, you blew it on an attack that backfired big time. You're not smart enough to defeat me. Later, loser," replied Missy before walking away. [Elsewhere....]

            "Too bad for our little puppet, but no matter. He was only a test and now that we know how to defeat these new monsters, it's time for our little show to truly begin," said Jacob.

            "Plus, Rogue wasn't totally useless. He did alter their Duel Disks after all. It's just a matter of time before things take effect and that'll be our victory," laughed Lester.

            "Indeed. Once the others find out, it'll be too late to do anything about it. We just need to be patient and let things play out. Then, once their Duel Disks are down, we can ambush Industrial Illusions and force them to stop making Synchro Monsters. We'll then take over the company and force new policies on Domino City," added Jacob.

            "Well I'm adding extra measures to ensure our plan stays on track. Knowing Yugi and his friends, they'll otherwise somehow find a way to defeat us and ruin everything," noted Primo.

            "Quit worrying, Primo. Jacob has it all figured out. There's no way even Yugi and his friends can overcome the disaster that's about to unfold," protested Lester. [Meanwhile...]

            "Where's that dumb Dino Duelist? I've been all over Domino City and there's nothing to be found. It's like they disappeared off the face of the Earth. How hard is it to find one lousy Duelist?! If I find out Weevil had better luck than I did, I'll never forgive myself. I'm supposed to be the smart one between us," questioned Rex. [Back with Yugi and Joey...]

            "Well, so far nothing bad has happened. I'd like it to stay that way," stated Yugi.

            "You're right, Yugi. It has been rather quiet around here. It's as if everyone disappeared. I'm not sure I like this. It's like when the Seal of Orichalcos took souls when they lost," agreed Tea`.

            "Yeah and that kind of worries me. I sure hope there isn't a madman out to take over the world or something," added Yugi.

            "We'll find them if there is. Don't you worry about a thing, Yug. There's nothin' we can't overcome," assured Joey.

            "You said it, Joey. As long as Yugi is with us, we can defeat whomever is trying to pull a fast one," nodded Tristan. [Elsewhere...]

            "You're tellin' me there's another Dino Duelist? Sam hill! I'd never have guessed that. Maybe I'd better investigate the enemy lines to see if it's true," reacted Hassleberry.

Inzektor Weevil (Part 2)

Previously...

            “I’ll play Inzektor Dragonfly (1000 ATK) in Attack Mode and thanks to its ability, it gets equipped with my Inzektor Giga-Mantis, making its ATK 2400 and its Level goes up by 3! Dragonfly’s ATK rises to 2400. Dragonfly, trounce his Centipede! Inzektor Centipede is destroyed and Weevil’s LP drops to 7200. Just in case you plan on attacking me, I’ll play Insect Barrier, which’ll prevent any Insect monster you have from attacking, which’ll make your Deck completely useless!  That ends my turn,” said Missy. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “Destroying my Centipede will be your first of many mistakes in this Duel! This Duel has also just begun and when it’s finished, you will be too! First I’ll use Pot of Greed (Info). With two new options in my hand, I play my own Inzektor Dragonfly

(Info) (1000 ATK) in Attack Mode and due to its effect, it’s getting Inzektor Hornet

(Info)! Hornet attaches to Dragonfly. Next, I’ll use my Hornet’s ability again to take out your Hopper! Missy’s Hopper is destroyed. Dragonfly, attack her directly! Missy’s LP drops to 6800. Finally, I activate Verdant Sanctuary (Info), letting a Duelist that had their Insect monster destroyed add another Insect monster from their Deck to their hand, but since most of your cards aren’t Insects, you’ll get very little out of this. I’ve done enough this turn,” said Weevil. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I’ll bring out Howling Insect (Info) (1300 ATK) in Attack Mode. Go, Howling Insect, take out his Dragonfly!” declared Missy. Dragonfly is destroyed and Weevil’s LP drops to 6300.

            “You fool. Have you forgotten Verdant Sanctuary? Now I can add another Inzektor Hornet to my hand,” stated Weevil before shuffling his Deck.

            “Big deal. When not equipped, it’s no real threat to me. I’ll end my turn,” said Missy. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I’ll Summon out my Inzektor Hornet (Info) (500 ATK) in Attack Mode! Due to this, I can now play my Tuner monster Inzektor Wasp (Info) (600 ATK) in Attack Mode. It’s a Level 3 Tuner so I can tune it with my Hornet for Inzektor Bumblebee (2200 ATK) in Attack Mode. Thanks to Bumblebee, I can equip it with an Inzektor previously equipped to another Inzektor once per turn so I’ll give it my Inzektor Hornet (Info)! Hornet attaches to Bumblebee. Of course, you know what happens next. Hornet detaches itself and Howling Insect is destroyed.

            “Well then since Howling Insect is obviously Insect, I’ll pick up another Inzektor Centipede,” countered Missy.

            “You’ll lose so much more as my Bumblebee attacks directly! Missy’s LP drops to 4600. I end my turn. Perhaps I’m better than you think, hmm?” replied Weevil. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Please. That last move was your best, but your monster will now be mine as first I play my Inzektor Centipede (Info) (1600 ATK). Next, I’ll use Creature Swap

(Info) to switch our monsters’ owners.

            “That’s too bad because Inzektor Bumblebee cannot be targeted by Spell Cards,” protested Weevil.

            “No matter, then I’ll just use my Centipede’s effect to give it my Giga-Mantis

(Info), making its ATK 2400! Giga-Mantis attaches to Centipede and Centipede’s ATK becomes 2400. Centipede, take out his Bumblebee! Inzektor Bumblebee is destroyed and Weevil’s score drops to 6100. You’re lucky I have no cards left to play and end my turn,” said Missy. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I’ll play Eradicating Aerosol (Info), which lets me destroy 1 Insect-Type monster on the field so goodbye to your Centipede! Missy’s Centipede is destroyed. Luckily for you, that’s all I can do,” said Weevil. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I’ll play Inzektor Ant (Info) (200 ATK) in Attack Mode and thanks to its effect, it gets my Inzektor Giga-Mantis (Info) as an Equip Card! Giga-Mantis equips to Inzektor Ant, raising its ATK to 2400. Too bad there’s nothing to defend you as I attack directly! Weevil’s LP drops to 3700. That should do for now,” stated Missy. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I’ll Summon Inzektor Firefly (Info) (100 ATK) in Attack Mode and give it the Inzektor Hornet (Info) card, which I’ll promptly send to the Graveyard and destroy your Ant! Inzektor Ant and the equipped Giga-Mantis are destroyed. It won’t do much damage, but you’ll have even less Life Points than before so Firefly, attack Missy directly! Missy’s LP drops to 4500. Give up yet?” responded Weevil. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I use Pot of Greed (Info) and draw twice. Next, I use Monster Reborn (Info)

on your Bumblebee (2200 ATK) and equip it with the Giga-Mantis (Info) in my Grave! This move will have you feeling the sting of defeat!" stated Missy.

[In the center of Battle City...]

            “Which fool should I test my new Deck on first? So many unsuspecting Duelists, so little time. Perhaps I could try against opponents like Yugi that beat me before, but that’ll probably end up in some kind of failure as it always has and I have no idea if my Deck is really that good just yet. Wait a minute. There IS another Insect Duelist in this town named Missy. Perhaps I could try my skills against her?” thought Weevil before heading out to find her [Meanwhile...]

            “I wonder if Weevil found out about other Insect Duelist like I now know of the other Dinosaur Duelist. I’ve heard he’s good, but he lost to a rookie in Slifer Red. Shouldn’t be a problem beating him then,” thought Rex before heading off. [Elsewhere...]

Previously...

            “I Summon Ojama Green (1000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Ojama Knight, destroy his Tribe-Infecting Virus! Tribe Infecting Virus is destroyed. Ojama Green, attack directly! Rogue’s score drops to 7000. That ends my turn,” said Chazz. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I use Pot of Greed and pick up 2 more cards. Then I’ll Tribute your 2 monsters for Lava Golem (3000 ATK) in Defense Mode. Don’t think you’ll get a chance to Tribute your new monster for I now activate Mask of Restrict, making it so neither of us can Tribute monsters for anything at all. Tribute Summon or Special Summon. Finally, I use Level Limit – Area B to keep all Level 4 and above monsters like Lava Golem in Defense Mode to end my turn. Don’t think that monster is completely a free gift because it has a nasty side-effect that hits you for 1000 damage each turn, so it won’t be long before you’re finished!” stated Rogue. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Alright, you’ve had your fun but it’s time I end this Duel! His LP drops to 3800. Now that your fireball’s effect has come and gone for the turn, I’ll use Resonance Device (Info) and target my 2 Ojama monsters since their Attribute and Type are the same and my card makes one’s Level become the other’s for a turn and I’ll make Prism Ray match Ojama Green! Now that that’s the case, I’ll put them in Attack Mode and attack you directly! Rogue’s LP drops to 2000. That’ll do for this turn,” said Chazz. Prism Ray changes back to Defense Mode. (Hand: 0 cards)

Previously...

            “Are you Chazz Princeton?” asked a voice.

            “Yeah, who’s asking?” questioned Chazz.

            “Your Dueling opponent. Call me Rogue,” said Rogue. 

            “Allow me to make the first move by activating a Field Spell called Ojama Country, which not only swaps the ATK and DEF of all monsters in play if I have an Ojama monster out but also lets me toss an Ojama in my hand to get one from my Grave. Then I play Ojama Red (Info) (1000 ATK) in Attack Mode and Set 2 cards face-down to end my turn Getting scared yet? You will be soon,” said Chazz. (Hand: 2 cards)

Previously...

            “You’re wasting your space on the field by Setting cards when I can just negate them with my effect. None of your monsters even have the DEF to survive an attack by me or, for that matter, my Gladiator Beast Alexander, which I Summon (2400 ATK) in Attack Mode by Tributing my Hoplomus! Alexander, take out his Card Trooper!” remarked Heraklinos. Card Trooper is destroyed.

Gladiator Proving Ground (Part 2)

            “Hey, Sy, I got the cards made,” called Chumley as he raced over.

            “Thanks Chumley. It was totally worth the wait,” said Jaden.

            “At last, men we have reached our destination. Head to your cards now!” announced Heraklinos.

            “Can we help you with something?” asked Alexis.

            “I’ll ask the questions around here, got it? Where is soldier Jaden Yuki?” protested Heraklinos.

            “I am, I guess,” replied Jaden.

            “Very well, are you ready to Duel, son?” asked Heraklinos.

            “You bet I am,” answered Jaden.

            “Gladiator Beast Andal (1900 ATK) report in Attack Mode! Now I’ll return them to my Deck for Gladiator Beast Gyzarus (2400 ATK) in Attack Mode and with its effect, I can destroy 2 cards on the field and I’ll target your 2 face-down cards,” said Heraklinos. Jaden’s face-down cards are destroyed.

            “I’ve gotta take this Deck down or face an army of Gladiators!” thought Jaden.

            “Alright, son. I’ll Set 2 cards, then end my turn with Gyzarus' 2nd effect to return it to my Extra Deck for Laquari (Info) (2100 ATK) and Lanista (Info) (1800 ATK) from my Deck. Oh and Laquari gets 300 more ATK since it was Summoned with a Gladiator Beast,” concluded Heraklinos. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I play Elemental HERO Woodsman (Info) (2000 DEF) in Defense Mode and I think I’ll target him with my face-down Hero Ring (Info) and now he cannot be attacked by any of your monsters with 1900 or more ATK to call it a turn,” said Jaden. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “You call that a turn? I call that pathetic! I’ll Summon Gladiator Beast Equeste

(Info) (1600 ATK) in Attack Mode. Your Woodsman is no match for the Gladiator Beast’s Battle Halberd (Info) card that I’ll equip onto Equeste. Now when Equeste attacks, I can destroy a Spell or Trap at the end of the Damage Step and your Hero Ring cannot prevent this attack because Equeste has only 1600 ATK. Equeste, attack his Woodsman! His LP drops to 7600. Now I’ll destroy your Hero Ring with Halberd’s effect! Hero Ring is destroyed. With your Hero Ring gone, I can send my other army members into battle. Laquari, take out Woodsman!” proclaimed Heraklinos. Woodsman is destroyed.

            “You’re not the only one that can recruit as I activate Hero Signal (Info) and with it, I get to replace my fallen Woodsman with Clayman (Info) (2000 DEF) in Defense Mode!” reacted Jaden. Clayman appears.

            “I’m not scared of that rock pile because now it’s time for you to meet my ultimate fusion as I return Equeste, Laquari and Lanista to my Deck for the very monster you see before you, Gladiator Beast Heraklinos (Info) (3000 ATK) in Attack Mode!” announced Heraklinos.

            “Unprecedented! This Deck is literally the ultimate tag team for with Heraklinos in play, Heraklinos himself can discard a card from his hand to stop any Spell or Trap Card activated and what’s worse is that he can do it during either player’s turn!” said Bastion shocked.

            “That really puts a dent in Jaden’s Deck because many of his best combos involve Spell or Trap Cards, not to mention his Fusion Monsters,” added Alexis.

            “The good news is that with only one card in hand, Heraklinos will have to use it wisely and therefore can only stop the activation of one Spell or Trap Card. If Jaden can force it to be discarded then anything he does after that will resolve, provided nothing he does triggers either face-down cards Heraklinos has,” analyzed Bastion.

            “Nothing you have left can match my power so I’ll end my turn,” said Heraklinos. (Hand: 1 card)

            “You’re a pretty tough guy, but how tough can you be with only one card in your hand? I’ll show you how tough I can be as I play the Field Spell Skyscraper 2 – Hero City (Info) and with it, only I can target an Elemental HERO in my Grave that was taken out in battle and bring it back so come on back Woodsman (Info)! Woodsman appears. Next, I’ll bring out my Tuner known as Elemental HERO Knight

(Info) (700 ATK) in Attack Mode. Now you’ll be able to throw down with a new type of Summoning, as I’ll send these two to the Grave for a Synchro Summon! Come on out, Elemental HERO Sorcerer (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode,” declared Jaden.

            “You talk bigger than your monster,” ridiculed Heraklinos.

            “Are ya sure about that? My Sorcerer has an effect that allows me to discard 1 card and equip himself with a Level 4 or below Elemental HERO monster in my Grave once per turn! Watch what a HERO Deck can really do!" replied Jaden.
