Yu-Gi-Oh! Fourseasons

We see Gu Jun over here.

Gu Jun arrived at the dojo alone.

Unlike the strange dojos that You Dong, You Xia, and You Chunlong encountered, this dojo was quite ordinary and perfectly normal.

"Squeak-"

The doors here seem to have been left unused for a long time; they make a piercing sound even with the slightest push!

"Go back, challenger! There are no more spots available today!"

At the far end of the hall, a huge, silver-white machine stood, and a hoarse voice came from behind it.

Gu Jun frowned and said, "What if I insist on challenging him?" He was a lackey of Nightmare of Sin City, specializing in dealing with all the rules of Sin City.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing Gu Jun's voice, the machine rotated, revealing the side that was originally facing the wall!

"It's you—" Gu Jun's pupils constricted!

……

When Gu Jun was six years old.

"Useless trash! You can't even defeat me! And you want me to send you back!" A middle-aged man shouted at Gu Jun, who was already lying on the ground.

He was the human trafficker who abducted Gu Jun to Sin City!

"Thud—" Just as the human trafficker was about to make his final attack, a knife pierced through his chest!

“Although a duel can solve everything in this world,” You Qiu said, ignoring the blood splattered on his face as he put away his knife, “you can’t let your guard down during a duel!”

……

And now, in front of Gu Jun is the very human trafficker who was originally stabbed to death by You Qiu!

Although his body was completely encased in silver-white machinery, only half of his aged face was visible.

Nevertheless, Gu Jun recognized him, and that feeling of being dominated welled up inside him!

"Are you still working for her?" the trafficker sneered. "She's just using you as a tool!"

Gu Jun suppressed his fear and shouted, "I know! She doesn't deny it, she dares to say it. Besides, didn't the King of Sin also treat you as a tool?"

The human trafficker said with a bitter smile, "That's because she controls the switch on this machine! If this machine stops, I'll be dead too!"

Gu Jun seemed satisfied with the answer, nodding slightly and saying, "It seems my situation is better than yours. At least I'm willingly being used as a tool!"

The two simultaneously activated their duel disks.

"Duel!" x2

The trafficker grabbed four cards and shouted, "Kid, experience being dominated once again!"

"My turn."

"I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from my hand and draw two cards."

"I activate the Spell Card [Foolish Burial] from my hand and send [Dual-Handed Pistol Dragon] from my Deck to the Graveyard."

"I activate the effect of [Dual Pistol Dragon] in my graveyard, banish this card, and add [Heavy Trigger] to my hand."

"I activate the Field Spell Card [Rotation Guiding Sector] from my hand."

"I activate the effect of [Rotation Guide Sector] to Special Summon [Metal Armored Shot Dragon] and [Magnum Shot Dragon] from my hand."

"I activate the Ritual Spell Card [Heavy Trigger] from my hand to destroy [Metal Jacketed Gun Dragon] and [Magnum Gun Dragon], and perform a Ritual Summon!"

"Ritual Summoning! [Loaded Barrel, Rampage Dragon]!"

My turn is over.

"At this moment, the effects of [Metal Armored Bullet Dragon] and [Magnum Bullet Dragon] activate, Special Summoning [Silver Bullet Dragon] and [Automatic Pistol Bullet Dragon] from the Deck (Defense Position)."

Human Trafficker: 0 cards in hand, 3 in front row, 0 in back row, 8000 Life Points, 4 in graveyard, 1 banished card.

Gu Jun: "My turn, draw a card!"

"You bastard, listen up!"

“I’ve been studying your deck ever since that day, and now I’ve found a way to beat you!”

"I usually summon [Ironbeak Sparrow]."

"I activate the effect of [Ironbeak Sparrow] to Special Summon the second [Ironbeak Sparrow] from my hand..."

Human trafficker: "I activate the effect of [Loaded Dragon] to negate this Special Summon!"

Gu Jun: "As expected!"

"I've set a link arrow for [Ironbeak Sparrow]! Come forth! The circuit that leads me to survival! The summoning condition is one [Rebellious Iron Bird] monster! Link Summon! Link 1! [Rebellious Iron Bird Ironwing Swallow]!"

"I activate the effect of [Ironfeathered Ostrich] in my hand and Special Summon it to the field."

"I activate the effect of [Ironfeathered Ostrich], and monsters that contain this monster and are used as Link Material along with this card can be treated as two!"

"I've set up link arrows for two [Ironfeathered Ostriches]! Come forth! The circuit that leads me to survival! Summoning condition: two Dark Bird-Beast type monsters! Link Summon! Link 2! [Rapid Raptor - Wise Forest Owl]!"

"I activate the effect of [Wisdom Owl] to Special Summon [Rebellious Iron Bird - Blood-Weeping Cuckoo] from my Deck!"

"I activate the effect of [Wisdom Owl] to cover the field with [Advanced Magic - Rebellion Power].

"I activate the effect of [Blood-Soaked Cuckoo] once per turn to Special Summon 1 monster from my Graveyard."

"I want to Special Summon [Ironbeak Sparrow]."

"I activate the effect of [Ironbeak Sparrow] to Special Summon [Ironbeak Sparrow] from my hand."

"I've set up Link Arrows for [Weeping Cuckoo] and [Iron-Beaked Sparrow]! Come forth! The circuit that leads me to survival! The summoning condition is two monsters other than Link Monsters! Link Summon! Link 2! [IP Masquerade Lena]!"

"I've set up Link Arrows with [Wisdom Owl], [Lena], and [Ironwing Swallow]! Come forth! The circuit that leads me to survival! Summoning condition: Special Summon two or more monsters from the Extra Deck!"

"Link Summon! Link 4! [Knight of the Twin Skys, Astram]!"

The human trafficker sneered disdainfully, "Borrowing power that doesn't belong to our family—is this your way of defeating your inner demons?"

Tani Jun: "Why not use this power for the sake of victory?"

"Advance to the combat tier!"

"[Astram] Attack [Loaded Berserker Dragon]!"

"[Astram]'s effect activated! This monster's attack power increases to 6200!"

The human trafficker took 3000 damage and sneered, "Not bad!"

Gu Jun: "My turn is over."

Tani Jun has 1 cards in hand, 1 in front row, 1 in back row, 8000 life points, 6 in the graveyard, and 0 banished cards.

Human Trafficker: 0 cards in hand, 2 in front row, 0 in back row, 5000 Life Points, 5 in graveyard, 1 banished card.

Human trafficker: "My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the effect of [Loaded Dragon] to destroy [Magnum Bullet Dragon] and add [Silver Bullet Dragon] to my hand."

"[Magnum Bullet Dragon]'s effect is activated, Special Summon [Bullet Trace Dragon] from the Deck."

"I'll link [Bullet Trace Dragon] on the field! The summoning condition is one monster of level 4 or lower! Link Summon! Link 1! [Strike Needle Dragon]!"

"[Strike Dragon] effect activated, add one [Rotation Guide Sector] to your hand."

"I activate the effect of [Firing Needle Dragon] to destroy [Metal Jacketed Gun Dragon] and add [Magnum Gun Dragon] from my Graveyard to my hand."

"In that instant, I chain the effect of [Metal Armored Lancer Dragon], destroy this card, and then destroy [Astram] in the same column as this card!"

Tani Jun: "You put the [Metal-Plated Armored Gunpowder Dragon] there just to destroy my [Astram]?!"

Human trafficker: "Now your field is completely empty."

"I activate the effect of [Metal Armored Gun Dragon] to Special Summon [Absolute Route Dragon] from my Deck."

"I'll link two monsters on the field with Link Arrows! The Summoning condition is two [Bullet] monsters! Link Summon! Link 2! [Short-Barreled Dragon]!"

"I activate the effect of [Rotation Guide Sector] to Special Summon [Magnum Shot Dragon] and [Quick Loader Dragon] from my hand."

"I've set Link Arrows for [Magnum Shot Dragon] and [Rapid Reload Dragon]! The Summoning condition is two monsters containing the [Shot Dragon] monster! Link Summon! Link 2! [Shortened Barrel Dragon]!"

"I activate the effect of [Short-Barreled Dragon], destroy [Short-Barreled Dragon], and Special Summon [Short-Barreled Dragon] and [Silver Bullet Dragon] from my Graveyard."

"I'll link three monsters on the field with Link Arrows! The Summoning condition is three or more Effect Monsters! Link Summon! Link 5! [Front-Barrel Dragon]!"

"Advance to the combat tier!"

"[Front-end Gun Barrel Dragon] Direct Attack!"

"My turn is over."

Human Trafficker: 0 cards in hand, 1 in front row, 0 in back row, 5000 Life Points, 14 in graveyard, 1 banished card.

Gu Jun: "My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Ace Grail] from my hand—"

Gu Jun has staked this round on this coin toss!

jingle!

The coin landed, tails!

"I'll accept your kind offer, no matter how polite I am." The trafficker drew two cards from his deck with satisfaction.

Gu Jun: "My turn is over."

Tani Jun has 1 cards in hand, 0 in front row, 1 in back row, 4300 life points, 9 in the graveyard, and 0 banished cards.

Human Trafficker: 2 cards in hand, 1 in front row, 0 in back row, 5000 Life Points, 14 in graveyard, 1 banished card.

Human trafficker: "My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from my hand, and return [Short Barrel Dragon], [Short Barrel Dragon], [Loaded Rampaging Dragon], [Bullet Trace Dragon], and [Metal Armored Bullet Dragon] from my Graveyard to my Deck. Shuffle and draw two cards."

"I activate the Spell Card [Ace Grail] from my hand—"

This time, the coin is also tails!

"Fine, consider it a return gift from earlier. As expected, you still have to exchange things when you're in this business." The trafficker sighed, watching Gu Jun pull out two cards.

"I activate the Spell Card [Angel's Charity] from my hand, draw three cards, and send two cards from my hand to the Graveyard."

"By activating the effect of [Dual Pistol Dragon] from my Graveyard, I banish this monster and add [Heavy Trigger] to my hand."

"I activate the effect of [Rotation Guide Sector] to Special Summon [Shotgun Dragon] and [Quick Reload Dragon] from my hand."

"I activate the Ritual Spell Card [Heavy Trigger] from my hand to destroy [Shotgun Dragon] and [Rapid Reload Dragon], and then perform a Ritual Summon!"

"Ritual Summoning! [Loaded Barrel, Rampage Dragon]!"

"Activate the effects of [Shotgun Dragon] and [Quick Reload Dragon] to Special Summon [Magnum Shotgun Dragon] and [Metal Armor Shotgun Dragon] from the Deck."

"I'll use my Level 4 [Magnum Slug Dragon] and my Level 4 [Metal Armored Slug Dragon] to build a stacking network with these two monsters!"

"When the mighty roar of the Sky Soaring Dragon transforms into two intersecting bolts of thunder, it opens the gates of ten trillion earths, revealing its power! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! [Reloaded Dragon]!"

"Advance to the combat tier!"

"[Front-end Gun Barrel Dragon] Direct Attack!"

"[Loaded Berserker Dragon] Direct Attack!"

"it's over!"

A terrifyingly large gun barrel emerged from the mouth of the [Loaded Rampaging Dragon] and fired a shot at Gu Jun!

"Boom!"

The dojo's ceiling was blasted apart and crashed down on Tani Jun!

"What a boring thing!"

"Cough cough..."

As Gu Jun coughed, a blue kite carrying Gu Jun flew out of the smoke and dust!

"That was close, I almost got crushed to death." Gu Jun released his grip on the blue kite and landed steadily on the ground.

“That’s…” The human trafficker stared intently at the blue kite.

"In that split second, I activated the effect of [Kite Machine] in my hand, discarding this card and negating one attack," Tani Jun explained the effect. "If it weren't for your [Ace Grail], I wouldn't have been able to draw it."

The trafficker remained calm: "Then I still have a [Loading Barrel Dragon] with an attack power of 3200 on my field!"

"[Loading Barrel Dragon] Direct Attack!"

Gu Jun: "Don't even think about it! I activate the effect of [Kite Machine] in my graveyard, banish this card, and negate this attack!"

The blue kite in the sky suddenly crashed into the [Loading Barrel Dragon], then self-destructed, temporarily repelling the [Loading Barrel Dragon].

Human trafficker: "You're lucky to be alive. My turn is over."

Tani Jun has 2 cards in hand, 0 in front row, 1 in back row, 600 life points, 9 in the graveyard, and 1 banished cards.

Human Trafficker: 1 cards in hand, 3 in front row, 0 in back row, 5000 Life Points, 17 in graveyard, 2 banished card.

Tani Jun: "My turn..."

The situation is extremely dire. Gu Jun's two cards are not enough for him to turn the tide, and [Loaded Dragon] can also negate one of his Special Summons. If he doesn't draw the key card this time, he's finished!

"I'm so tired, I need to shake!"

After looking at the card he drew, Gu Jun thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

"I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from my hand, return [Lena], [Astram], [Blood Cuckoo], [Wisdom Owl], and [Iron Winged Swallow] from my Graveyard to my Deck, and draw two cards."

"I usually summon [Blood-Weeping Cuckoo]."

"I activate the effect of [Bloodthirsty Cuckoo] to Special Summon the..." from my Graveyard.

As expected, the human trafficker activated the effect of [Loaded Dragon]: "I activate the effect of [Loaded Dragon], negate this Special Summon!"

Seeing that he had successfully tricked Kang, Gu Jun's lips curled up: "I activate the Spell Card [Rebellion Entanglement] from my hand, and treat the two Xyz Materials of your [Loader Barrel Dragon] as [Rebellion Iron Bird] and my [Bloodthirsty Cuckoo] Opalei!"

"Construct a superimposed network using two monsters! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! [Rebel Iron Bird - Petrol Bomb Gull]!"

[Rebellious Iron Bird - Gasoline Bomb Gull], Attribute: Wind, Rank 4, Effect/Xyz Monster, Winged Beast Type, ATK 2000, DEF 2000.

"I activate the effect of [Gasoline Seagull] once per turn. Remove 1 Xyz Material, target 1 Xyz Monster your opponent controls, and that monster's ATK decreases by 300 times the total Rank of all Xyz Monsters on the field!"

A burning petrol bomb hit the [Loading Barrel Dragon], reducing its attack power to 1600!

The human trafficker sneered: "A mere 400 damage is nothing to me with my 5000 base score!"

Gu Jun threw the card in the back row and a card from his hand into the graveyard, shouting:

"What a burden! How many more are there?!"

"I activate the effect of that monster in my Extra Deck, and send two [Rank-Up Spells] from my hand or field to the Graveyard. I then Xyz Summon this monster over the Xyz [Rebel Iron Bird] monster I control!"

"I will integrate [Gasoline Bomb Seagull] into one! I will use a monster to build a stacked network!"

"O iron bird with jet-black feathers, transform missiles into wings and strike the enemy! Upgrade to Super Transformation! [Rebellious Iron Bird - Feathered Missile Raven]!"

[Rebellious Iron Bird Feathered Missile Raven], Attribute: Wind, Rank 8, Effect/Xyz Monster, Winged Beast Type, ATK 3500, DEF 3500.

The trafficker remained disdainful: "1900 damage is nothing to me!"

Gu Jun responded with a disdainful smile: "Then let's see if you can withstand 1900 damage!"

"I activate the effect of [Feathered Missile Raven] once per turn: remove 1 Xyz Material, pay half Life Points, and your opponent selects 1 Xyz Monster on their field. Destroy all other monsters on your opponent's field. Then, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the monster with the highest ATK among the destroyed monsters!"

"And the only Xyz Monster you have on the field is [Loader Barrel Dragon]!"

"Nani?!"

After taking 3700 damage, the human trafficker's face showed a look of panic!

"Advance to the combat tier!"

"[Feathered Missile Raven] Attacks [Loading Barrel Dragon]!"

"Fire coverage!"

Amidst a dense barrage of missiles, the human traffickers were blown to smithereens!
