World Dueling Federation: Yu-Gi-Oh! Wrestling (Roleplay)

"I guess it's my turn then..." Aime said, drawing her card. "I start my turn by summoning UFO Turtle in Attack Mode." A tired looking turtle appeared, with a bizarrely mechanical shell on its back.

UFO TURTLE: 1400ATK

"He's kinda adorable, don'tcha think?" The Crusader only scowled in response. "In any case, Battle Phase. UFO Turtle, show your alien bravery... Attack Airknight Parshath!"

"You fool!" snarled The Crusader. "Not only is my Airknight Parshath stronger than your foul creature, whenever it inflicts battle damage, I can draw a card! GLEAMING VICTORY STAMPEDE!!" As the two combatants collided, the turtle was decimated by the angel's blade, the shockwave of Solid Light again causing Aime to stumble backwards.

AIME SOREN: 3000LP

"Maybe so," she muttered as she regained her balance. "But UFO Turtle's effect activates when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. It's the same as Mother Grizzly but this time a more fiery friend joins us. Rise, patience of a thousand turtles, Aitsu!" A similar creature to the blue one appeared, the two sharing a glance despite seeming to lack eyes.

AITSU: 100ATK

"Next, I activate my Trap card: Spiritual Water Art - A... A... Spiritual Water Art!" The formerly set card in Aime's backrow revealed its purple border. "By Tributing a WATER monster, I get to look at your hand and discard one card!" Koitsu clapped and was immediately converted into a blob of dark blue liquid. The contents of The Crusader's hand was then displayed^note The Agent of Wisdom - Mercury, The Agent of Force - Mars, The Agent of Judgment - Saturn, The Agent of Mystery - Earth, and Shining Angel before what was once Koitsu slammed into The Agent of Mystery - Earth.

"You're only delaying the inevitable," The Crusader said, as he sent the marked card to the Graveyard. "Your Aitsu is still no match for my Airknight Parshath!"

"You're right... So maybe I should fix that. I activate my other Trap card: Roll Out!" Aime's other set card flipped face-up. "I can use this card to target a Union monster in my Graveyard and equip it to a monster that would be a proper target. I use it to equip my Aitsu with the Koitsu in my Graveyard. And when Koitsu is equipped to Aitsu, it increases Aitsu's Attack by 3000 points!" The blue being reappeared, falling from the sky. However, just before it made a messy landing on the arena floor, Aitsu swooped in and caught its blue ally in its arms. Koitsu looked away demurely and Aitsu seemed to radiate a sudden strength.

AITSU: 3100ATK

"THERE IT IS!!" roared Kayla, leaping up from the announcer's desk. "Aime Soren's patented Itsu Teamwork Combination! What a fearsome monster!"

"Now let's go! Fly forth, Aitsu and Koitsu!" For the first time in the duel, Aime's voice seemed full of excitement and energy as she pointed dramatically at Airknight Parshath. "CRIMSON MARINE TEAM: DRILL ARROW!" The paper plane began to spin, rapidly gaining speed until it became a spiraling blur of red and blue. In a second it soared through The Crusader's monster, the explosion knocking him backwards.

THE CRUSADER: 2800LP

As he rattled back to his feet, any earlier sense of cockiness on The Crusader's part had been replaced with anger and annoyance. "A mockery..." he growled. "Draw!" His mood was not improved by what he saw. "I set a monster and another card face-down and end my turn."

"You can't slow me down now, man," laughed Aime. "Draw!" A spark seemed to flash in her eye as she saw what she drew. "Battle Phase! Time to make another pass, guys! CRIMSON MARINE TEAM: DRILL ARROW!!"

"Nice try," said The Crusader. "But with my Shining Angel in Defense Position, not only will I not take any damage, but I'm able to instantly replace him with another! You only have one strong monster, so I can wait until I have the answer The Light has promised me."

"Not so fast, dude. Not only does Koitsu increase Aitsu's Attack by 3000, it also allows it to inflict piercing damage!"

"What?! No wa—" The Crusader's confusion was halted as Aitsu's blow hit home, once again obliterating the opposing monster and sending the armoured duelist back into the turnbuckle on his platform.

THE CRUSADER: 500LP

The heavy clanking as The Crusader rose to his feet echoed in the large arena. "I... still activate... the effect of Shining Angel. Allowing me to bring out another one! Rise from the fallen soul, Shining Angel!"

SHINING ANGEL: 1400ATK

"If you think that'll stop me, you've got a lot to learn, man. I end my turn."

The Crusader was hunched over and breathing heavily. His whole body appeared to be shaking. But then he stopped. He stood back up to his full height, his eyes burning with bad intent. "You... You think that you will shame me tonight. That you will mock The Light and expect to walk away unsinged from its holy heat. Well it is time you learned how wrong you are! Draw!!" His mouth contorted into a wicked grin. "I summon The Agent of Wisdom - Mercury!" A pale blue angel appeared at Shining Angel's side.

The Crusader closed his eyes as his breathing picked up again. "Now it is time... I use my two Level 4 LIGHT monsters, Shining Angel and The Agent of Wisdom - Mercury, to create the Overlay Network!" The two monsters flashed before becoming orbs of golden light as what appeared to be a miniature universe appeared at The Crusader's feet. Both flew into the growing hole. "Mighty lieutenant of The Light, heed my call! March forward to your foe to deliver their end! With blade in hand, reap the sins of all the tainted souls before us and cleanse them in the holy blaze of The Light!" His eyes opened wide. "Xyz Summon! Slaughter the opposition, Starliege Paladynamo!!" An explosion shot out of the dimensional hole as a warrior clad in shimmering silver armour appeared, wielding a blade made purely of light.

STARLIEGE PALADYNAMO: 2000ATK

"Paladynamo's effect activates! By detaching two Xyz Materials, I set one monster's Attack to 0 and negate its effect! I choose your disgusting Aitsu! BLINDING IMPRISONMENT WAVE!!" The brilliant warrior's two orbiting spheres combined with its blade before slashing it out twice. Two bright blue slashes of energy collided with Aitsu, knocking Koitsu away.

"Battle Phase! Paladynamo, annihilate this insult! PURE SHINING SLASH!!" Charging forward, The Crusader's monster swung its blade to cleave the small opponents to shreds, sending Aime reeling.

AIME SOREN: 1000LP

"It's over!" roared The Crusader, his eyes wide and manic. "The Light does not suffer such insults as your creatures to exist! They will be purged as will you!"

"I'm... not so sure..." replied Aime, as she got to her feet. "My crew... They don't quit easily. Because if they did, they wouldn't be legit. So now..." She smiled softly. "It's now or never... Draw!" As she spotted the card, her grin grew.

"I activate Valhall, Hall of the Fallen!" The surroundings took on a serene look, with frames of the Itsus plastered everywhere. The Crusader snarled at the sight. "Once per turn, when I control no monsters, I can Special Summon a Fairy-type monster from my hand. I Special Summon a good friend. Rise, speed of a thousand insects, Soitsu!" A green character similar to the other Itsus flew in, although its paper plane seemed to move in a bizarre zig-zag pattern.

SOITSU: 0ATK

"Next, I Normal Summon another close comrade. Rise, cunning of a thousand rats, Doitsu!" A beige-yellow Itsu appeared on its own paper aircraft, although it quickly jumped off of it, aiming to land on Soitsu's.

DOITSU: 100ATK

"Doitsu's effect is a go! I can equip it from the field to Soitsu. And when I do... Soitsu gains 2500 Attack!" The two Itsus, now firmly on Soitsu's craft, jumped up and high-fived each other, sending out slight shockwaves that reached the crowd.

SOITSU: 2500ATK

"N-No way!" The Crusader took a step back as he watched the Itsu duo turn their eyeless gaze on him and Paladynamo. "There's no way!"

"Battle Phase!" shouted Aime, swinging her spare arm at her foes. "Soitsu and Doitsu, it's time to finish what your big bros started! GOLDEN EMERALD TEAM: CUTTER ARROW!!" The two shot forward in a zig-zag fashion, halting just right of Paladynamo. In a flash, they were behind it on the left side. A single cut appeared on the armour before Paladynamo exploded in a mass of pixels, sending The Crusader sprawling backwards.

THE CRUSADER: 0LP
VICTORY: AIME SOREN

"I-Impossible..." was all The Crusader could mutter before the roaring crowd drowned out anything the duelists could be saying.

"CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!" bellowed Kayla, doing her utmost to be heard above the raucous crowd. "What an incredible duel to kick off the season! Both duelists gave it their all but Aime managed to crawl out on top!!"

"Indeed, Kayla," said King, barely audible due to his quieter voice. "The bar has been set high for the newcomers but I'm sure they'll show that they can put on a helluva show as well."

Two aides walked into the room where everyone was watching the final moments of the duel. "Sora and Killer Clown, please follow us. Your duel will be beginning shortly."

Deirdre looks up from the refreshment table, a bonbon in hand. She pops it in her mouth and says "Well, good luck to ya, Sora." Then she follows one of the men.

Navajo chuckled. "The Crusader lost. How often has he won, exactly? Once in the whole time he's been here?" He shook his head. "Still, that was a good show."

Jack whistles and put a smile on his face. "Now that's a comeback! ...And I hope I can deliver duels to the crowd's amusement, Ehehe..."

Sora started to walk forward as the last damage was dealt, whispering, "And now the Crusader has been humbled, and Aimee shows her power. The elitist....can now be gone."

And Aimee spreads her wings far. I hope to duel her soon.

He looks over at Clown and smiles, his eyes squinted slightly, giving him a fox-like appearance.

After The Crusader and Aime Soren had vacated the main arena floor, a very familiar track began playing as a single man walked partway down the ramp, microphone in hand and big golden belt around his waist.

"How y'all doin' tonight, folks?"

A loud roar of cheers answered his question as he grinned widely.

"Alright, sounds like y'all are enjoyin' yourselves. Good to see I ain't gotta put this company on my back.

"But enough about that, I'm here to talk about what y'all heard was gonna be happenin' this season. Yeah, we got a lot of newblood here. Here's hopin' one of them has the ability to go toe-to-toe with your eternally reigning Masterclass Champion, yours truly.

"On that topic, I'll let y'all in on a secret. We're having a tournament for them, but I'm sure most of y'all knew that. What you might not know is that the winner gets put into the match to decide the new Challenger Champion. And the Challenger Champion, if they're feelin' up to it, can put their belt on the line to try and take mine, the Masterclass." Mike took the belt off and lifted it in the air to the screams of the crowd.

"Now, I know all ya new kids can hear me. So I'll say this once. If any of ya make the mistake of tryin' to take my belt, there'll be two thuds. First is me playin' my cards. The second is you hittin' the mat."

With that, Mike turned and headed back off-stage, giving the room to the announcers to call in the next duelists.

"So what you're saying is you let me win, huh?"

"Look, I'm just saying that your combo isn't as perfectly invincible as you think it is."

The Crusader and Aime Soren walked into the lounge where the rest of the new hires were.

Jack raised an eyebrow, his lips curling upwards. "Oh? He's saying any of US will hit the floor? I'll love wiping that smirk off his face." Then Jack shook his head. "Nonono, not the goal Jack. Bad. Bad. First, entertain, second, win." The Shark duelist went over to the refreshments table to get a soda, then turning his attention back to the group. "So, first newblood match. My money's on killer clown!"

Sho's jaw had practically dropped onto the floor, "N-no...no way." That was just so surprising! He didn't think he'd see such a comeback, but low and behold, there it was!

After recovering his stun, he turned to Jack, "I'm betting on Sora."

Navajo leaned in next to Sho. "Eh, less about who wins right now. I'm betting the Clown puts on a better show and impresses the crowd more."

"Yeah my money's on the cutie. Besides, somethin about that Sora guy is suspicious."

He ran a hand through his hair and eyed the Masterclass Belt as it's holder walked back up the ramp.

"Now that would sure look good on my waist..."

"That was amazing! the probable fall and then the grandstand! Great victory for the eclectic dancer, great flow on her." he commented to himself "Now now the slasher clown versus the handsome youngster, oh who can win? who'd be the best? who will amuse?" he asked himself giddily, and chuckled "It begins!" then turned to see crusader and Aime Soren "You two!" he said across the lounge "Good show!" said the blue haired man, with a thumbs up.

In the announcer's box, Kayla Lur said "Welcome back to the WDF! I'm your host, Kayla Lur, and with me as ever, Mackenzie King! We're about to see the first new blood of the season, in what promises to be a very interesting match! Mackenzie, thoughts?"

Mackenzie cleared his throat before replying with "Interesting, indeed. One of our contestants calls herself the Killer Clown. This match will prove whether or not she deserves her title." The lights dimmed, and Kayla said "If I'm not mistaken, that's her now. Let's see how she introduces herself."

~~~~~

Deirdre walked into her locker room, took a few deep breaths and steadied herself. This was it; her big break. Time to make herself a star or go down in flames. She heard the cheering of the crowd as they shouted for the next match, and exhaled sharply, trying to focus. Here went nothing... Or everything. Right on cue, the lights dimmed and a spotlight shone at the door out to the ring, and the crowd seemingly held their breath. She took a deep breath and steeled herself before cartwheeling out into the ring, finishing with a midair somersault, her entrance theme starting up just as she landed. Outwardly, she laughed in a suitably slightly unhinged fashion and waved to the crowd. Inwardly, she thanked god she hadn't screwed up and accidentally snapped her own neck. She'd been practicing that stunt for several months, and she still hadn't quite gotten it right before the WDF started.

~~~~~

Back at the announcer's box, Kayla shouted "What a feat of gymnastics! This clown girl certainly knows how to make an entrance! Now, let's see what her opponent, Sora Tenryudo, does for his introduction." The spotlight shone towards Sora's side of the arena, and the crowd hushed again, waiting to see what her opponent made of himself.

Sora breathed deeply, some sweat on his forehead and then wiped away as he prepared for his big debut, sliding his cap back on. “Its show time. The people will be watching me, to finally obtain their champion, in more ways than what the big guy up there showed.”

He had everything prepared, and the time was here for his big show.

—==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=—=-=-=-=-

It seemed like silver “smoke” started to billow out of Sora's end of the arena, mostly obscuring the area...and then a figure started to walk through the silver smoke – the cover dispersing as he walked through it, as if by presence alone he controlled a massive, powerful wind force. His entrance theme began, loud but not overbearing.

He then ran forward suddenly and took a leap from a slight elevation, doing a number of extremely capable acrobatics during mid air before landing on one foot, as a massive amount of wind issued forth behind him, surely enough to blow the young man off of that one foot and into the air above....

And indeed, he seemed to relish in the moment of being thrown forward, seemingly at the mercy of the winds around him, sent flying upward.

And then he managed to show control, and reconnected to the ground with a hand stand, and then reversing it, returning forward from that on to his feet, a sure, confident smile on his face, and he raised both of his hands.

And lo, behold the Master of the Sky.

The Clown grins viciously. "A copycat, are ye, noow? Well then. Let's see if ye'd like tae copy mah intrroduction after ah beat yeh so hard ye'll have a twitch until the day yeh die! Can ye get doown with the cloown, boyo?!"

That's supposed to be a Scottish accent in writing form.

"Looks like it's about to start." Jack commented, taking a sip from the liquid in his glass.

Sora smirked slightly, resuming his rather fox-faced look for the scene, "Right...lets commence this then, and see if you can manage that."

It looked like he was given the first move, meaning...

"I suppose its my start. Thus, I summon Arnis the Empowered Warrior to the field in attack mode."

He slid the card into his duel disk, and a red armored warrior flew up with a selection of wings, one of its arms covered by a golden, dragon-like claw.

[1700/1200/lvl 4]

"I end my turn with that."

The Clown's smile grows a bit more forced. This guy was starting to grate on her nerves with his "let's see if you can manage that" stuff. It was probably just a stage persona, but even so...

"Alright then. Ah draw!" She whips off the top card of her deck and adds it to her hand. She giggles unhingedly, then says "Ah set a card and end mah turn."

A facedown card shimmered into shape in her Spell/Trap zone.

"Hehe, it seems my act's getting a little grating...I should live it up a little more..." He then shouted as he drew, "sky's the limit!"

He drew his card, and then looked over his hand. "I activate the field spell card Empowering Armory."

A large amount of wind issued forth from behind him as the field was amplified with a huge armory of dragon-themed weaponry and armor. Arnis' attack power climbed to 2000 as its dragon armament glowed. "Now, all dragons, warriors and spellcasters I control gain 300 attack and defense."

The Clown faked an exaggerated yawn. "Carry on, laddeh."

The two previous duelists halted their exchange after being greeted.

"Oh, hello there," said Aime, with a smile. "You must be the newblood. Welcome aboard!"

The Crusader was more focused on the duel unfolding. "Great, a clown. Can't wait to see her join up with the Shenanigan Squad."

Aime waved off at her former opponent. "Don't mind Sean, he's just still a little ticked off at his current losing streak."

"Oh, I'm sure if you got stuck with getting beat down two-on-one, you'd be real happy about it."

Jon stroked his wispy moustache. “The duel seems to have opened slowly,” he said. “I would have expected my fellow showmen to be more... flashy.”

"And then, I can still normal summon!"

Sora put another card on his field, "Call forth the monsters from my deck, Summoner Monk!"

Summoner Monk assumed the defensive position immediately.

The Clown stretches, looking indifferent. "Ah've got nothin'."

"By discarding Reinforcement of the Army, I summon Red Sparrow Summoner from my deck."

Red Sparrow Summoner leaped down near Arnis, and seemed to nod at her.

"Now, XYZ Summon!"

Both Summoner Monk and Red Sparrow seemed to glow very brightly and Sora began his chant, "Honor the principles of the revolution, bring forth the great sword of a coming, new radiant sky!"

The two monsters flew up and then into the top of the Armory.

"Come forth, Gagaga Samurai!"

A hakama and coat clad figure appeared on Sora's side of the field leaping out of the sky and landing on his feet, looking at the Clown, his coat's collar obscuring the mouth, and he slowly brought his hands to two swords at his waist, and then sixty slashes displayed in front of him, both swords suddenly drawn.

[1900/1600 -> 2200/1900/2OU]

"Now, I activate Gagaga Samurai's ability. By detaching 1 XYZ Material, I select a Gagaga monster and make it attack twice."

Gagaga Samurai absorbed one of the overlay units into his right hand sword, both swords then starting to glow brightly.

Sean muttered something under his breath and reached down the front of his armour, pulling out a small tablet-like device. Doing a few quick flicks, his grumbling grew louder. "...new kids think this is amateur hour or something..."

"What's the matter?" asked Aime, her voice ringing with sass. "Too impressed by the new guy?"

"More like I sure hope he didn't pay to get a parking spot here." He showed off the tablet to Aime and the room in general. It had a copy of Gagaga Samurai on it, display the text for the card. "The buffoon just brought out a monster that can attack twice and has 2200 Attack. In addition, he has another 2000 Attack monster on the field. Unless Killer Clown can stop an attack, that's the end of the duel."

"Uh oh."

"Uh oh is right." Sean shook his head. "Kid is dueling to win, not to put on a show. There needs to be some build up or the climax is too weak. With this current set-up, the duel will end before it could gather any real steam. Which makes for some annoyed fans who wanted a full night of duels. And when the fans aren't happy, The Boss isn't happy."

"And if The Boss isn't happy..." Aime shuddered at the thought.
