"Soar, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
Under Ryuzaki's gaze, who grimaced in pain due to Painful Decision, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon card chosen by Ryuzaki was not returned to Joey Wheeler's hand. From the revealed card face, the black magic dragon bathed in surging lava and soared into the sky. Even under the gaze of the Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, whose sheer size was despair-inducing, the unyielding Black Dragon still let out a proud roar!
"ROAR!!"
Seeing the familiar Black Dragon appear before him, Ryuzaki subconsciously couldn't help but murmur, "Red-Eyes..."
Called out by Ryuzaki, Red-Eyes Black Dragon lowered its head slightly, glanced down at Ryuzaki from the air, and after a low roar, it moved its gaze away from Ryuzaki without hesitation, focusing on Ultimate Conductor Tyranno.
Ryuzaki was the previous user of Red-Eyes before Joey Wheeler, but that was all. To Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Ryuzaki was just a passerby; the only one it recognized was Joey Wheeler.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon [Level 7/DARK]
[Dragon-Type/Normal Monster]
[2400/2000]
"Even Red-Eyes Black Dragon only has 2400 Attack points." Pulling his attention back from Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Ryuzaki looked at Joey Wheeler again. "My Ultimate Conductor Tyranno has 3500 Attack points."
"That's true. It would be quite difficult to defeat Ultimate Conductor Tyranno using Red-Eyes Black Dragon."
Joey Wheeler nodded, but then revealed a triumphant smile. "But, Ryuzaki, I never said I was going to defeat Ultimate Conductor Tyranno with Red-Eyes."
"The monster I'm going to use to defeat you next is this one!"
As he spoke, Joey Wheeler played a card from his hand onto the field. "I'm Normal Summoning Cook Pal Captain, and then I'll activate its effect!"
On Joey Wheeler's field, a man wearing an apron stood resolutely before a large pot set over a fire, using a ladle to scoop out some soup from the pot and taste it for seasoning.
Cook Pal Captain [Level 3/EARTH]
[Warrior-Type/Effect]
[1200/400]
"When Cook Pal Captain is successfully Summoned, I can return one card from my hand to the Deck and shuffle it, then draw one card from the Deck."
Watching Joey Wheeler shuffle a card from his hand into his Deck, Ryuzaki said disdainfully, "Tch, in the end, it's just an effect that lets you change your hand. Do you think you can defeat me with just an effect like that? Aren't you looking down on me too much, Joey Wheeler?"
"No, wait, I remember now. If Red-Eyes Black Dragon Fuses with a Warrior-Type monster, you can Fusion Summon another Red-Eyes Fusion Monster—Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon, right? Are you planning to use that to defeat me?"
"Muda muda, I remember Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon's effect. It just equips a Warrior-Type monster from the Graveyard to increase its Attack by 200 points. It still can't compare to Ultimate Conductor Tyranno!"
"Oh, is that so?" Although Joey Wheeler's tone was questioning, his face still held a smile. "Of course I know that, but Ryuzaki, Cook Pal Captain's effect hasn't finished resolving yet!"
"Courage, role models, and logistics are the three most important elements of an army. Cooking and making porridge isn't a great achievement, but warriors can't die on the battlefield with empty stomachs." As he spoke, Joey Wheeler drew a card. "If the card I draw with Cook Pal Captain is a monster card, I can Special Summon it!"
"And the card I drew is this one, Meteor Dragon!"
Nani?! Shooting Star Dragon!
Ryuzaki, across from Joey Wheeler, was still calm, but Hayato in the audience seats almost couldn't stay seated. He watched as Joey Wheeler slammed the card he had just drawn onto his Duel Disk, about to Special Summon the Shooting Star Dragon he mentioned.
Isn't this card creation too much? How did a Shooting Star Dragon suddenly appear? Is he about to start Accel Synchro, which can even surpass light?
Then, after seeing the monster Joey Wheeler Summoned clearly, Hayato was somewhat glad he hadn't gotten overly excited just now.
The monster Joey Wheeler drew wasn't the Synchro Monster Shooting Star Dragon at all; it was clearly another Meteor Dragon.
Compared to the pure white Accel Dragon with a jet-like form, Meteor Dragon's form was basically a turtle with two wings attached to its back. Its appearance lowered the average aesthetic appeal of the Dragon-Type even more than the Thunder Dragon disgrace, Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon.
Meteor Dragon [Level 6/EARTH]
[Dragon-Type/Normal Monster]
[1800/2000]
Normally, a Level 6 Meteor Dragon would require a Tribute to be Summoned onto the field, but thanks to Cook Pal Captain's effect, it was Special Summoned directly onto the field.
"Hehe, Ryuzaki, I wonder if you've ever heard this saying." Seeing Meteor Dragon appear, Joey Wheeler said to Ryuzaki with considerable pride, "White Dragons bring victory, while Black Dragons bring possibility."
"If Blue-Eyes White Dragon symbolizes the strongest power, then Red-Eyes Black Dragon corresponds to infinite hope!"
Ryuzaki tilted his head in confusion and scratched his hair through his hat. "I've never heard that before. Who said that?"
This question stumped Joey Wheeler.
"Hayato said it! He said it's a legend that's been circulating in the Duel Monsters world for a long time."
Ryuzaki retorted, "There's no such thing! Kobayashi Hayato is always messing around; he must be pulling your leg again."
Joey Wheeler was quite stubborn. "No way."
As he spoke, Joey Wheeler held up the last Fusion in his hand. "It must be true. Otherwise, why would my Red-Eyes Black Dragon always create miracles again and again?"
"Let me show you another form of Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Ryuzaki! I activate the Fusion Spell Card! I'll use Meteor Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon as Fusion Material!"
"Come forth---"
"Meteor Black Dragon!"
The Fusion Card was played by Joey Wheeler onto the field. At the same time, the Fusion vortex that appeared on his field sucked in Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Meteor Dragon.
"They... disappeared!"
Ryuzaki was quite surprised. The previous Fusion of Summoned Skull and Red-Eyes Black Dragon to Summon Archfiend Black Skull Dragon could barely be explained as a resonance of both sides' shared dark magic, and both were quite powerful cards.
But Meteor Dragon, with 1800 Attack and 2000 Defense, much less as a Level 6 monster, many Level 4 monsters can reach this strength. Furthermore, it has no effect itself and is just a Normal Monster. It's unremarkable in every way, yet it can fuse with Red-Eyes Black Dragon?
As if intentionally opposing the light of the supernova blooming from underground by Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, a fiery light appeared from the horizon, quickly stretching into a line of fire and rushing towards the Duel Field. In just a single breath, a giant fireball, like a meteor, crashed onto the ground.
Accompanied by a loud "boom," the rock fragments encasing the fireball exploded, revealing the sturdy giant dragon within the fireball.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon's originally slender body seemed as if it had consumed hundreds of pounds of protein powder and worked out intensely. It became thick and powerful, and its muscles changed to the same black-purple as Meteor Dragon's. Its physique was roughly twice as large as before.
Feeling the surging power within its body, the post-workout Red-Eyes Black Dragon, or rather, Meteor Black Dragon, let out a roar, showing off its strength towards the Ultimate Conductor Tyranno before it.
Meteor Black Dragon [Level 8/FIRE]
[Dragon-Type/Fusion/Effect]
[3500/2000]
"Gathering the power of Meteor Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon's power has been amplified to the extreme," Joey Wheeler said, looking at Meteor Black Dragon. "Actually, I was planning to save Meteor Black Dragon for last, to give Kaiba a surprise."
"But as expected, I can't duel against you, Ryuzaki, without going all out."
"Hmph, I wouldn't mind if you didn't go all out, Joey Wheeler," Ryuzaki grumbled, annoyed. "Although I can't fully display my strength, I can accept getting a higher ranking."
He said that, but seeing Meteor Black Dragon appear, Ryuzaki was quite nervous.
Meteor Black Dragon, with 3500 Attack points, had just enough capability for a mutual destruction with Ultimate Conductor Tyranno.
Furthermore, Cook Pal Captain, which brought him Meteor Dragon, was Summoned in Attack Position on Joey Wheeler's field with 1200 Attack points, while Ryuzaki's own Life Points were 1100.
This is bad!
No matter how he thought about it, that guy Joey Wheeler's next attack could only be---
"Now, I'll enter my Battle Phase!" Joey Wheeler declared excitedly, touching his nose sheepishly. "Victory is about to be mine, Ryuzaki!"
"Damn it, don't be so quick to assume you've won 1000%, Joey Wheeler!"
Hearing that Joey Wheeler was entering the Battle Phase, Ryuzaki also made up his mind and ruthlessly declared, "Before you enter your Battle Phase, my Ultimate Conductor Tyranno on the field has an effect I can activate!"
"Once per turn, during either player's Main Phase, Ultimate Conductor Tyranno can destroy one monster in my hand or field to Set all monsters on your field face-down!"
"Nani, Set all monsters face-down?!" Joey Wheeler was also stunned. "Wait, that's not right, Ryuzaki. Your hand should be empty, and you only have Ultimate Conductor Tyranno on your field... Don't tell me!"
"Sacrifice yourself for the greater good, Ultimate Conductor Tyranno!"
"You did it again!!"
Ever since he made Super Conductor Tyranno self-destruct to Summon Ultimate Conductor Tyranno before, it was as if Ryuzaki had flipped some strange switch. This time, when he made Ultimate Conductor Tyranno self-destruct, there was none of the hesitation he had before; instead, he seemed somewhat excited.
As Ryuzaki targeted Ultimate Conductor Tyranno for destruction, the giant dinosaur first tilted its head back slightly, then sharply lowered it, unleashing a breath of destruction towards the ground beneath its feet!
Starting from where Ultimate Conductor Tyranno's breath landed, the Duel Field suddenly cracked open, as if the surface was shattering and falling apart at the coming of the apocalypse. Large amounts of scorching lava erupted from the fissures, surging high into the sky in an instant. Both the powerful Meteor Black Dragon and Cook Pal Captain, who hadn't even had time to serve the food from the pot, were completely engulfed by the lava.
As for Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, which actively detonated the underground lava, it was the first to be engulfed.
After the high temperature slightly receded, everyone could finally see inside the field, discovering that everything was covered by cooled lava. Except for Ultimate Conductor Tyranno, which was completely engulfed by the lava, destroyed, and sent to the Graveyard, both Meteor Black Dragon and Cook Pal Captain on Joey Wheeler's field had turned into lifelike stone sculptures.
Meteor Black Dragon → [Face-down Defense Position Monster] [ATK 3500 → DEF 2000]
Cook Pal Captain → [Face-down Defense Position Monster] [ATK 1200 → DEF 400]
Witnessing his two monsters being turned into stone sculptures and flipped face-down into Defense Position, Joey Wheeler was still immersed in shock. "All the monsters were covered in an instant! Such power!"
Ryuzaki also somewhat recovered from the joy of "setting off firecrackers" and said seriously, "In the face of Ultimate Conductor Tyranno's power, let alone your Meteor Black Dragon, even a God has to be Set face-down. Although its power requires sacrifice to be released, it has the ability to inevitably guide destiny towards a favorable direction."
This point was not Ryuzaki bragging.
God Cards have resistance against monster effects: destruction effects from non-God Cards are negated, non-destruction effects only last for one turn, and monster effects of Level 10 or lower are negated. However, Ultimate Conductor Tyranno's effect is not within the scope of the above protection.
Its Level is also Level 10, and its effect is not destruction but changing Battle Position, so indeed, as he said, even a God has to be Set face-down.
"Because both Meteor Black Dragon and Cook Pal Captain are monsters I Summoned this turn, even when it's my Main Phase 2, I can't change their Battle Position," Joey Wheeler said with a frown, his tone full of helplessness. "In that case, I can only end my turn."
"But Ryuzaki, you also lost your strongest Ultimate Conductor Tyranno because of this, so I still think victory belongs to me."
[Joey Wheeler: 2700 LP, Hand 0]
[(Cook Pal Captain)] [DEF 400]
[(Meteor Black Dragon)] [DEF 2000]
Ryuzaki just remained silent, placing his finger on his Deck. He couldn't refute Joey Wheeler's words, because he had indeed lost his strongest Ultimate Conductor Tyranno.
The experience of losing Red-Eyes Black Dragon back then resurfaced in Ryuzaki's mind. The large investment of funds had gone to waste, causing his Deck's strength to plummet and ultimately failing to qualify for the Top 8 of Duelist Kingdom.
Under Ryuzaki's gaze, who grimaced in pain due to Painful Decision, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon card chosen by Ryuzaki was not returned to Joey Wheeler's hand. From the revealed card face, the black magic dragon bathed in surging lava and soared into the sky.
