Card of the Day: Toon World
Episode 76: The ROFGP Takes Off! Toon World Trap
At the Road Stadium, spotlights all shine down on the announcer
Announcer: Are you READY?! Ladies and gentlemen, last year this stadium held the DMGP, now it holds the first ever ROFGP!
The crowd goes wild.
Salia: The crowd sure is pumped.
Arnold: All these people. The revenue is going to send the economy sky rocketing.
Armen: Look at them Grayson. Like rats in a maze.
Grayson: They are almost amusing in a way
Tony: Oh boy.
Marie: Let's get things started.
Neo: I hope Yusuke gets here soon
Leon: Hm…
Announcer: And now, without further ado, let the ROFGP begin!
Opening
Yusuke is still racing towards the stadium
Yusuke: Oh man, this is going to be close! I hope Seth can at least stall the match for a few minutes
Announcer: And now, announcing the first match. Our first duelist, coming all the way from Chicago in America, it's Tony Johnson!
Tony: Hey mom, hey dad! I'm going to win this for you!
Announcer: And his opponent, one of Cynemia's City's twin kings, Yusuke Iruiza!...Um? Yusuke? Is he here?
Tony: What? What do you mean he isn't here yet! No way! No way no way no way!
Seth is in the booth and swipes the microphone
Seth: Hold on a second! Yusuke's D- Wheel was stolen last night.
Announcer: Hey, that's my microphone….
Seth: He's on his way right now. He should be here any moment now.
Announcer takes it back
Announcer: I'm sorry to hear that. But the rules are specific. If Yusuke does not get here within 10 minutes of his match time, he will be disqualified
Seth: No exceptions?
Announcer: Otherwise it would be a bad example.
Tony: Man, this stinks! I'm bored! Bored bored bored bored bored bored bored bored!
Seth: Please, just give him a little more time!
Announcer: I'm sorry, but rules are rules!
Grayson: Well, this puts a wrench in things
Armen: What is going on? Yusuke should be here by now. Damn it. If he loses in round 1, it is going to mess things up.
Grayson: Could we have been betrayed?
Armen: Hm….
Neo: Yusuke, where are you?
Yusuke is swerving in and out of traffic and even on the sidewalk past pedestrians
Yusuke: Sorry! Sorry! I'll pay for that, sorry! Man, I'm not going to make it in time! Unless…I take a shortcut.
He goes up a higher road. Alicia and Yusuke's other friends are in the stands waiting. Alicia is tapping her foot nervously
Announcer: Five minutes remaining!
Armen: Damn it.
Marie: I guess…he isn't coming after all
Tony: Man. I wanted to win, but I at least wanted some kind of fight. This blows. This really freaking blows.
Announcer: 1 minute left.
Yusuke: Hold on! Just give me a few minutes! I'm on my way right now!
Yusuke is racing on the roof of the building close to the stadium
Dex: There he is!
Alicia: But he still won't make it in time!
Yusuke speeds up.
Axel: …Hey, hold on now….
Tamika: H…He wouldn't!
Yusuke races right off the edge of the building
Seth, Alicia, Dex, and Tamika: Gah, you're insane!
Yusuke lands on a low road and races off that, landing on another and another until he lands next to Tony
Tony: Well, that was some entrance
Announcer: Amazing, and with 10 seconds to spare! His means our first match will go on as planned!
Tony: Glad you didn't chicken out. I would have lost so much respect for you if you did.
Yusuke: Well, I'm here now. So, you ready?
Tony: Pfft. Like you need to ask. Just don't worry if I kick your butt too soon
Announcer: Now, engage Neo Speed World!
D- Wheels: Duel mode, auto-pilot standby
Computer: Duel start. Initiating path.
Seth: The Road Stadium has a whole new set of roads built into it now. Each duel goes down a different path for everyone to see.
Computer: Countdown: 10, 9, 8 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Tony and Yusuke take off
Both: Riding Duel, Acceleration! [Yusuke LP = 4000][Tony LP = 4000]
The duelists race down the road at very fast speeds. Yusuke and Tony bump into each other several times to get to the corner
Yusuke: Sorry, I'm going first.
Tony: Maybe but…hey, look at that!
Yusuke: Huh?
Yusuke turns and Tony speeds ahead to turn the first corner.
Yusuke: Hey, you cheated!
Tony: No I didn't. Cheating implies I did something. You're just a sucker.
Yusuke: Gr….
Announcer: And Tony takes the first turn!
Tony: Alright then, I take the first turn! Draw. Alright, what a great starting hand! Let's see, which one of my little cuties will I summon first? Oh, it's so hard to choose! I know, this one! Serve me well baby!
He kisses the card and Yusuke grimaces
Tony: Do me proud! I summon Toon Cannon Soldier [ATK 1400/DEF 1200 LV 4]. I set two cards and end my turn.
Seth: Toon monsters huh? This isn't going to end well. Yusuke, don't judge them based on appearance. These cards…are nasty.
Yusuke: That's it? After all that talk, you summon a weird looking monster and that's all?
Tony: Hey, don't insult my monsters! They're very sensitive! Oh look, now you've gone and made my monster cry!
Cannon Soldier begins to cry, holding its face in its hands
Yusuke: Uh….can I really fighting something like that? My…turn [SPC: Yusuke = 1 Tony = 1]. Sorry, but I gotta get rid of that monster! I summon Armored Tank [ATK 2000/DEF 0 LV 4]. Attack Toon Cannon Soldier!
Tony: Heh. Sorry, but I can't let my little cutie die here. Trap card, Toon Defense. This changes an attack on a Toon monster to a direct attack
Cannon Soldier freaks out and huddles as the attack whizzes by. It looks up as the attack hits Tony, making him cry out [Tony LP = 2000]
Yuji: What?! Why did he just take 2000 points of damage?
Tony: The top has now been sent spinning. Trap card, Over the Limit. When I take 2000 points of damage, I select a Normal Spell card in my deck and activate it instantly without taking damage
Yusuke: Right. Neo Speed World, when you activate a Spell card, deals 2000 points of damage to the player who used it. But what kind of Spell card is worth taking 2000 points of damage anyway?
Tony: To activate this Spell card, I need to pay 1000 life points [Tony LP = 1000]
Yusuke: That's insane! Why would he decrease his own life points?!
Tony: Now from my deck, I activate Toon World.
A wormhole opens. Everyone looks shocked as a book flies out, opening up and revealing Toon World. Yusuke has a surprised look on his face
Yusuke: What the….hell is that?
Tony: Welcome to my world Yusuke. Now I'm going to show you a really fun time here.
Yusuke: A weird book isn't going to intimidate me. If you want to scare me, play something powerful. I set a card and end my turn.
Tony: My turn [SPC: Yusuke = 2 Tony = 2]. Counting on you baby! I summon Toon Gemini Elf [ATK 1900/DEF 900 LV 4].
Yusuke: More weird monsters?
Tony: Now I release Toon Gemini Elf and activate the ability of Toon Cannon Soldier. Now he deals 500 points of damage
Cannon Soldier opens fire on Yusuke [Yusuke LP = 3500]
Yusuke: Ha. This is nothing
Tony: As long as Toon World, I can Special Summon Toon monsters from my hand. They aren't allowed to attack, but eh, I'm not picky. I release Toon Cannon Soldier and summon Toon Dark Magician Girl [ATK 2000/DEF 1700 LV 6]. Ah! My monsters are so adorable!
Yusuke: Well….that's one word for it
Tony: My little cuties are going to bring about the end of this duel. I set a card face down. Turn end
Girl winks all around. Men in the audience blush
Axel: Eh. The real one's better. His Toons are just cheap copies
Seth: That isn't really true. Toons may look weak and like copies…but they are in a class all their own. If Yusuke doubts these monsters for even a second, it is really going to cost him. Just watch.
Yusuke: My turn [SPC: Yusuke = 3 Tony = 3]. I summon Power Glove [ATK 500/DEF 200 LV 1]. Once per turn, this can equip to a monster and raise its power by 500. Give Armored Tank some firepower! [ATK 2500/DEF 0 LV 4]. Time to take out Toon Dark Magician Girl. Cannon Fire!
Tony: Come on, do you really think I'd leave my monster defenseless? Trap card, Mask of Weakness. When the opposing monster attacks, this Trap reduces their attack points by 700 [ATK 1800/DEF 0 LV 4].
Yusuke: Oh no! And it's too late to stop my attack!
Girl freaks out as the attack gets closer to her. She holds out her staff like a bat and hits the bullet, sending it flying back at Powered Tank and pierces a giant hole in it. Yusuke covers himself from the smoke [Yusuke LP = 3300]. Girl opens her eyes and is stunned before jumping up and down
Yusuke: Those monsters are really getting on my nerves right now. I set another card face down and end my turn
Tony: That was amazing Toon Dark Magician Girl! Keep it up and we'll win in no time at all! I draw [SPC: Yusuke = 4 Tony = 4]. This is just the card I needed. Get ready Yusuke. My monsters may look cute, but they hold dark secrets. And you're going to see them firsthand. I set a card. I summon Toon Masked Sorcerer [ATK 900/DEF 1400 LV 4]. By removing Toon Saboteur in my graveyard, I get to negate his effect and let him attack this turn. Go get him Toon Masked Sorcerer! Sorcery Panic!
Yusuke is hit by the magic and coughs in pain [Yusuke LP = 2600]
Tony: Huh. That's odd. Though you would have taken more damage. Oh, right! Since I discarded Toon Pestilence, the monster I used it on loses 200 attack points until the End Phase of the turn [ATK 700/DEF 1400 LV 4]. At least I have a second monster to attack with. Toon Dark Magician Girl attacks directly. Black Burning
Yusuke is hit dead on and slows down, spinning out and almost crashing into a wall [Yusuke LP = 600]
Yusuke: Darn it….
Announcer: And Yusuke is already below 1000 life points! In this situation, can he find a way to win!?
Tamika: This Tony guy…he's really good.
Seth: This playing style…where have I seen it before? And those cards….I know I've seen them somewhere before
Tony: Perfect! And now I'll end my turn by performing a Special Summon. I release Toon Masked Sorcerer and Advance Summon Toon Summoned Skull [ATK 2500/DEF 1200 LV 6]. I end my turn with that.
Yusuke: My…turn [SPC: Yusuke = 5 Tony = 5]. You're not the only one with a strong monster! Trap card, Afterwards. When I take damage during my last turn, I can summon a monster of lower attack points than the damage I took from my deck. I summon Helio Bomber [ATK 2400/1000 LV 6]
Tony: That can destroy a monster right away! Darn, will I have to use it now?
Yusuke: No. Any monster summoned through Afterwards has its ability negated. However, it gives me everything I need! I summon the Tuner monster Black Oil [ATK 1000/DEF 0 LV 2]
Tony: Tuner monster….
Yusuke: I tune my level 2 Black Oil and level 6 Helio Bomber
Oil becomes 2 rings that Bomber flies through, becoming 6 stars [2 + 6 = 8]
Yusuke: Speed reaches the highest level and becomes a power that warps space and time. Appear now, lord of speed, Warp Speed Dragon [ATK 2500/DEF 2000 LV 8].
Tony: There it is.
Announcer: And Yusuke brings out his ace monster! Has the tide turned in this duel!?
Tony: Heh. You know Yusuke, a trump card can sometimes help, but other times, it just becomes a hurdle
Yusuke: Huh?
Tony: Trap card, Too Chain. I release a Toon monster to take a card my opponent controls and add it to my deck. I release Toon Dark Magician Girl…and take Warp Speed Dragon!
Yusuke: What?!
A chain wraps around Speed and it vanishes.
Tony: If I draw the card, it returns to your field. But, your monster was a Synchro monster and goes to my Extra Deck! I can't draw from there!
Yusuke: No…he stole Warp Speed Dragon
Announcer: What a turnaround! Right when Yusuke had him, Tony had a trap all set up! What a bad situation for our Duel King!
Yusuke: There's….there's nothing I can do. I set a card and end my turn
Alicia: Yusuke
Tony: Back to me [SPC: Tony = 6 Yusuke = 6]. I use Neo Speed World. I pay 4 Speed Counters [SPC: Tony = 2 Yusuke = 6] and deal 800 points of damage for all Speed Spells in my hand. I have one
Yusuke: I discard Crash Dummy and negate the damage I would normally take
Dummy blocks the laser
Tony: Now for the Speed Spell in my hand. Speed Spell- Finally Lucky! This lets me draw 2 cards when my hand is empty. Get ready Yusuke. I'm going to unleash the real power inside my deck. After all, I need to keep my legacy going.
Yusuke: Legacy?
Tony: Yes. My true name. Tony J. Crawford!
Seth: Crawford!? Is he…
Tony: I summon Toon Magna Drago [ATK 1400/DEF 200 LV 2].
Yusuke: Tuner monster…
Tony: I tune my level 2 Toon Magna Drago and my level 6 Toon Summoned Skull. Get ready.
Drago snickers and becomes 2 rings that Skull flies through, becoming 6 stars [2 + 6 = 8]
Tony: Speed reaches the highest level and becomes a…
Yusuke: Hey, hold on a second!
Tony: What?
Yusuke: That's my catchphrase!
Tony: So? What, are you going to sue me for copyright infringement or something?
Yusuke: You just don't do that! Make up your own!
Tony: Fine! Let the world see you smile in haste or in anger, let the world laugh at his antics before he wipes them out. Synchro Summon, Warp Speed Dragon [ATK 2500/DEF 2000 LV 8]. Is that better?
Yusuke: Much.
Seth: Warp Speed Dragon. He couldn't have stolen it just to summon it. No…something else is going on
Tony: At this time, I remove Toon World from play. Using the effect of Over the Limit, I can use Normal Spell cards without taking damage
Yusuke: He's going to use another Spell card?
Tony: Activate, the true world I live in! Appear, Toon Universe!
A spiral appears from the book and surrounds the entire area, becoming a galaxy
Announcer: W-What is this?!
Tony grins as Yusuke looks in shock
