Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's: Power of the Dragon

I

Yuri barreled down the highway on his duel runner. He caught the blue and red flash of a Sector Security runner. "Damn," Yuri muttered to himself. He looked out of the corner of his eye. Officer Trudge was gaining on him. If Trudge gets me, he'll ship me right back to the Facility, Yuri thought. Yuri revved his runner and shot even faster.

"This is Sector Security. Pull over immediately," Trudge shouted.

"Sorry Trudge, no can do. I've got places to be," Yuri shouted back. A wicked grin spread across Trudge's face.

"Yuri. I should've known. Only you would ride around on a stupid runner like that," Trudge jeered.

"Hey, the dragon motif gives my runner personality. You're the one riding a runner that's uglier than an Ojama monster," Yuri retorted. "Are we gonna duel or what?" Yuri demanded.

"Oh, we're gonna duel alright, and when I win, it's right back to the Facility with you," Trudge said. Yuri flipped a switch on his duel runner, and his deck popped out from the consul and the blade extended out.

"In that case, I'll activate Speed World," Yuri said. His speedometer disappeared from the dash consul and was replaced by a speed counter and field display. "And since I activated the duel, I'll take the first turn," Yuri said, drawing his card and adding it to his hand. "For my first move, I'll summon Cloaked Shadow in attack mode," Yuri said, placing the card on his runners blade. A smoky figure with mottled and rotten hands and wearing a dark cloak appeared. "Now, Cloaked Shadow's ability activates. Because I was able to summon it, you have to drop your entire hand into the graveyard, and draw a new one," Yuri said.

"Really. It looks like you have a new deck. It won't matter though. When I throw you back into the Facility, it'll be confiscated," Trudge said. He placed all five cards in his hand in the graveyard and drew a new one.

"Don't do your victory dance yet Trudge, we only just started. I'll throw a facedown and end my turn," Yuri said. The card appeared next to Yuri, then disappeared. A speed counter was added to both Yuri and Trudge.

"Whatever," Trudge said, drawing a card. "I'll start by summoning Assault Dog in attack mode, and I'll attack your Cloaked Shadow," Trudge said. The gun and ammo toting monster appeared next to Trudge and fired. Yuri's Cloaked Shadow disappeared in a puff of glittery light. "Ha, how do like that?"

"Well, it's not exactly what I thought would happen, but you're gonna like the results less than I will," Yuri said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Trudge demanded.

"Take a look at your life points," Yuri said. Trudge glanced down, and his mouth opened in astonishment.

"What happened to my life points?" Trudge demanded.

"You did. When Cloaked Shadow is destroyed in battle, we each take damage equal to half of my monsters attack or defense points. Cloaked Shadow was in attack mode and he has 1,000 attack points. So we each take 500 points of damage," Yuri said.

"Whatever. I'll place three cards facedown and end my turn," Trudge said.

"Then I draw," Yuri said. He added his card to his hand. "I'll start by summoning Hellhound in defense mode," Yuri said. A hulking black dog appeared next to Yuri and changed to a shade of blue. "When I'm able to summon Hellhound successfully in defense mode, I'm able to special summon Shadow Cat in attack mode," Yuri said, placing a second card down. The sleek black and grey cat appeared next to the first monster. "Now, Hellhound's second ability activates. When it's in defense mode, I can transfer his attack points to Shadow Cat. This boosts my monster from 1,000 to 1500."
