[Max: 1713][Grimstien: 5000]
Max was staring down his childhood nightmare: Hell Serpent.
[3000/0/10]
Grimstien chuckled.
-Look, Master. I summoned out Hell Serpent!
Crisis was watching from the sidelines.
-I bet even with Hell Serpent, you will mess this up somehow.
-I won't, Master! Hell Serpent, attack Zer0 Dragon!
-Here we go, Zer0 Dragon...I discard a card so that Zer0 Dragon cannot be destroyed by this attack!
-That will not satisfy the Hell Serpent's hunger!
Zer0 Dragon was surrounded by the smokey black aura, and destroyed anyway.
-What!?
-Hell Serpent! Teach Maxxie-boy here a lesson!
Hell Serpent seemingly attacked Max.
[Max: 1713 -> 713]
-Your monster is crushed anyway, and you take 1000 damage! Make your last move!
-Mm mmm mm...
-What is it, Master!? Did I make a mistake?!
-Well let's see. Max, still has life points for one.
-I'm sorry, Master!
Zer0 Dragon returns to the field.
[0/0/7]
-How!?
-The card I discarded was Infinizer0. During the end phase of a turn it was discarded, I can revive a Zer0 monster which was destroyed this turn!
-You fool. Whenever you summon a monster, Hell Serpent inflicts 100 damage for each level!
[Max: 713 -> 13]
The effects of Hell Serpent began to make Max feel weak. He fell to the ground.
-Hey. Get up.
A familliar voice told Max.
-Huh...?
-Get up, man.
-Wha-?
-C'mon, man. You're making us look bad.
Max got up but he seemed to be in an empty dark room and Max was under a spotlight.
-Who is that? Do I know you?
-Of course you do, idiot...
A young Maxxie stepped into the light.
-Do you really have so few friends you hallusin-hallusina-halloosinate. Hey give me a break, I am only 8. But yeah, you imagine younger versions of yourself at a time like this?
-Versions?
A teenage Maxxie stepped into the light.
-That Hell Serpent did a number on me, huh? Don't you want revenge on it?
-Uh sure.
The younger Maxxie spoke up.
-Plus, these things don't matter too much.
-Huh?
-You gotta get over all this Darkerness stuff and finally get back to looking for Sophi. You know, like you used to?
-Yeah.
-So quit day dreaming and get your head back in the duel!
Max got up for real this time.
