Volcanic Eruption (3)

Previously…

            “I summon another Volcanic Slicer in Attack Mode,” said Axel. Slicer, destroy his Time Wizard! Time Wizard is destroyed and Joey’s LPs drop to 400. That ends my turn. (0)

            “I play Monster Reborn to revive your Doomfire!” said Joey. Doomfire reappears. Doomfire, destroy his Slicer! Slicer is destroyed and Axel’s LPs drop to 3100. Since your monster was destroyed, you take 500 damage! Axel’s LPs drop to 2600. That ends my turn. (0)

            “My move and I pay for Firewall!” said Axel. His LPs drop to 2100. Then I summon Volcanic Blaster (0600) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

            “My move,” said Joey. I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800) in Attack Mode. Doomfire, destroy his Blaster! Blaster is destroyed and Axel’s LPs drop to 1600.

            “When Blaster’s destroyed, I can place another Volcanic Blaster on the top of my deck,” said Axel. You’ll never defeat me in the ring of fire!

            “Gearfried, direct attack!” said Joey.

            “I remove Volcanic Blaster for Firewall!” said Axel.

            “I end my turn,” said Joey. (0)

            “I again pay for Firewall,” said Axel. His LPs drop to 1100. Next I summon another Volcanic Blaster in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

            “Time to win this duel!” said Joey. I activate Roll of Fate. Now, I roll a die and get to draw cards equal to the die’s result but I also have to remove an equal number of cards from my deck from play. The die lands. A 4, so I get 4 cards and I remove 4 cards in my deck from play. Next, I activate Release Restraint, which sends my Gearfried to my Graveyard for Gearfried the Swordmaster (2600) in Attack Mode.

            “Big deal, for I have Firewall, which will stop all of your attacks,” said Axel.

            “You think so, eh?” asked Joey. I activate Legendary Sword, raising my Swordmaster’s ATK and DEF by 300! Swordmaster’s stats rise to (2900/2500). Then, thanks to my Swordmaster’s effect, I can destroy 1 of your monsters! Volcanic Blaster is destroyed. Oh and your Firewall can only stop my attacks if you have enough Pyro-Type monsters in your Graveyard to remove and if you have the LPs to keep it out.

            “I’m not worried because the Volcanic Scattershots I sent to my Grave with Tri-Blaze Accelerator are still in my Graveyard, which is more than enough to stop your attacks,” said Axel.

            “Not when I play this card,” said Joey. I tribute Gearfried for Jinzo (2400) in Attack Mode.

            “Oh no, now my Firewall is negated!” said Axel.

            “That’s right and with only 1100 points left, I win after this attack,” said Joey. Jinzo, wipe out the rest of his LPs! Axel’s LPs drop to 0. Meanwhile…

            “Your forecast is looking grim, Kaiba,” said Adrian. He races off. Elsewhere…

            “What are we going to do, Seto?” asked Mokuba.

            “Defeat Dartz’s little goon squad,” said Kaiba.

            “How?” asked Mokuba.

            “I have no idea, Mokuba,” said Kaiba.

            “Who’s that?” asked Mokuba. Kaiba turns to see someone.

            “Who are you?” said Kaiba.

            “Adrian Geko,” said Adrian.

            “You’re in my way!” said Kaiba.

            “Maybe so but I came to duel you and I forecast a 99% chance of defeat!” said Adrian.

            “Fine, let’s duel!” said Kaiba.

            “I summon Cloudian - Poison Cloud (1000) in Defense Mode,” said Adrian. Then I play Big Summon Cloud, which at a cost of half my points lets me summon Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon (3000) in Attack Mode. His LPs drop to 4000. The only downside is that to keep my Spell Card out, I have to discard my and. I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (1)

            “I discard my Thunder Dragon to add two more Thunder Dragon cards to my hand,” said Kaiba. Then I use Polymerization, discarding them for Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon (2800) in Attack Mode. Thunder Dragon, destroy his Poison Cloud!
