Chapter 3

The cop that I was going to fight was a tall young woman with long dark purple hair. She was definitely turning all the head wherever she went. Exquisite face and a body with all the right curves along with the wild aura she exuded, it was a killer combination in any man's eyes. Or woman's.

Still, I didn't come here to ogle at beautiful women so besides a few inner comment I didn't react much.

As we were walking to our designated position I noticed that the other cops were giving me strange looks that I couldn't quite place. Pity? Sympathy?

"Are they looking down on me?"

Cop: Are you ready?

She asked with a confident tone.

Dyne: Let's do this!

Cop&Dyne: Duel!

As I activate my dueldisk the two halfs unfold, merge and move to the outside of my arm. We each draw 5 cards and our LP counters are set to 2000 Life Points since this was just a quick test.

Cop: You go first!

Since I play first, I don't get to draw an extra card this turn. I look at the 5 card in my hand and smirk.

"It's not the best of hands but it will do nicely"

Dyne: I summon Battlin' Boxer Headgear from my hand in attack position! This allows me to send 1 Battlin' Boxer monster from my deck to my grave. I choose Battlin' Boxer Counterpunch.

A blue humanlike sparring dummy with a red headgear was summoned in front of me. It tapped its headgear with its hands twice and then took a boxing stance.

4 star Warrior

ATK: 1000

DEF: 1800

Dyne: I set one face-down card and end my turn.

Cop: Alright, I draw!

Cop: I set 2 cards and 1 monster face down and end my turn.

Dyne: Bad hand?

Cop: I guess we'll find out.

She said with a smirk.

I smiled from excitement and drew a card.

Dyne: I'm not one to back down from a challenge! I summon Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw in attack position.

A very buffed green boxer appeared on the field.

4 star Warrior

ATK:2000

DEF:0

Dyne: Glassjaw, attack her face-down card!

The green hulking boxer dashed forward as the enemy's card was flipping over. A literal chunk of wall appeared with a single eye in its center. Glassjaw unleashed a haymaker which successfully collided with the monster but nothing happened.

Cop: Gate Blocker has 2000 defense points so your attack was nullified.

"Damn, who would have thought that we'd both summon a 2k beatstick/meatshield. Too bad I went for the greedy play, else I could probably do more."

Dyne: Don't worry, the best is yet to come!

I announced confidently.

Dyne: I overlay my 2 warriors to xyz summon Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke in attack position.

A coliseum style fighter with a yoke strapped on his shoulder was summoned.

Rank 4 Warrior

ATK: 2200

DEF: 2000

Dyne: I end my turn.

Cop: I must say, those are some unusual cards you have there. I've never even heard of Battlin' Boxers.

She drew a card and smiled.

Cop: I summon Jutte Fighter in attack position!

A cartoonish style samurai with round glasses appeared and took a strange pose.

4 Star Tuner Warrior

ATK: 700

DEF: 900

Cop: I tune him with gate blocker to synchro summon Goyo Guardian!

A fighter that was dressed like some old japanese theatrical actor with white and red facepaint appeared.

6 Star Warrior

ATK: 2800

DEF: 2000

"Damn! This deck is giving me anime vibes."

Cop: Then I activate the effect of Goyo Defender from my extra deck. Once per turn, if the only monsters I control are Earth warrior-type Syncho monsters, I can special summon him from the extra deck.

In a burst of light a warrior similar to Goyo Guardian holding a large green shield appeared.

3 Star Warrior

ATK: 1000

DEF: 1000

She showed me a toothy grin full of confidence.

Cop: This is where the fun begins! Goyo Guardian, attack Lead Yoke!

Goyo Guardian shot an attack with its weird mid-range weapon.

Dyne: It's not going to be that easy, I activate Lead Yoke's effect! I detach an xyz material (Headgear) to prevent his destruction. And since a material was removed, he gains 800 ATK points.

ATK: 3000

Cop: Nice! But you still take damage.

Dyne: Do I now? I activate the effect of Battlin' Boxer Veil! When I take battle damage, i can special summon him from my hand and then recover the same amount of damage I received!

Another Boxer appeared but this one was holding two halves of a circular shield in a defensive stance.

4 Star Warrior

ATK: 0

DEF: 1800

She didn't say anything and ended her turn. I can see that she's really enjoying this type of back and forth duel and truth to be told so am I.

I drew a card and activated Mystical Space Typhoon from my hand which allows me to destroy a spell or trap card on the field.

Dyne: I choose the left one!

Cop: Then I activate it! Book of Moon switches a monster on the field to face down defense position. I choose your XYZ monster.

Lead Yoke disappeared from the field and a face down card took his place.

"Well... you can't have everything."

Dyne: I set one card face down and end my turn.

Cop: My turn! I summon another Jutte Fighter and tune him with Goyo Guardian to synchro summon Goyo King!

A huge warrior with a big sword that looked like a Sai was summoned.

8 Star Warrior

ATK: 2800

DEF: 2000

Cop: Due to his effect he gains 400 attack points for every Earth warrior-type Syncho Monster!

ATK: 3600

Cop: Then I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Goyo Guardian.

ATK: 4000

Cop: Prepare yourself! This is the end! Goyo King, attack Battlin' Boxer Veil!

Dyne: The end?

The giant warrior charged.

Cop: You see, when Goyo King destroys a monster, he can either summon that monster to my side of the field or take control of another monster you control.

Dyne: Oh shit! I activate the trap Last Counter! It negates your attack and I send Veil to the graveyard.

Cop: No you don't! I activate Wiretap! It negates the activation of a trap card and then shuffles it back to the deck.

Dyne: Yes I do! I counter your trap card with Jolt Counter! It negates your negation and destroys Wiretap.

"Heh that was a mouthful thing to say"

Cop: Fine, then I attack the face down Lead Yoke with Goyo Guardian.

Dyne: I remove a material to negate its destruction. Since Glassjaw (material) was sent to the graveyard by a card effect (Yoke), it allows me to take a BB monster from the grave to my hand. I take Veil!

She let out a small growl and ended her turn.

"Goyo king has 4000 attack. Even if I use Counterpunch from the graveyard it will result in both the King's and Yoke's destruction which normally it wouldn't be so bad but she has 2 more monsters and I do not. Let's hope that whatever I draw next will pull me out of this one."

I pause for a bit and then...

Dyne: I draw!

A grin appeared on my face when I took a look at the card I drew.

" Not what I expected but it will do nicely."

Dyne: I switch Lead Yoke to Attack position and activate the equip spell card Magnum Shield! It boosts a warrior's stats depending on its position. Since Yoke is in attack position, he gains Attack equal to his original Defense.

ATK: 5000

Cop: 5000 attack points?

Dyne: That's not all, Lead Yoke, attack Goyo King. I activate the effect of Counterpunch from the graveyard! By banishing itself, it can increase my monster's attack by 1000.

ATK: 6000

Cop: Even more?

Surprise and resignation was evident in her voice.

Yoke unleashed an attack that instantly obliterated Goyo King reducing my opponent's lifepoints to 0.

Dyne: That's game!

"Heck yeah! I always wanted to say that."

On the outside I looked calm but on the inside my inner self was jumping up and down like a kid.

She stayed silent for a second but then she laughed.

Cop: Those are exactly the kind of moves we want for our department!
