Gladiator Proving Ground (Part 4)
Previously...
``You're wasting your space on the field by Setting cards when I can just negate them with my effect. None of your monsters even have the DEF to survive an attack by me or, for that matter, my Gladiator Beast Alexander, which I Summon (2400) in Attack Mode by tributing my Hoplomus! Alexander, take out his Card Trooper!'' remarked Heraklinos. *Card Trooper is destroyed.*
``Hold on, I have another face-down and it's Call of the Haunted, which allows me to bring back the card I threw out, Elemental HERO Neos (2500 ATK) in Attack Mode! *Neos appears.* Since this is still the Battle Phase, I'll attack you directly! *Heraklinos' LP drops to 4800.* Show me what ya got, Heraklinos!'' added Jaden. (Hand: 1 card)
``Ask and you'll most certainly receive as I use Gladiator Proving Ground, letting me add any Level 4 or less Gladiator Beast monster from my Deck to my hand and I'll pick Gladiator Beast Darius, which I'll Summon (1700 ATK) in Attack Mode. Now I'll use Contact Fusion to return both my monsters to my Deck for Gladiator Beast Essedarii (2500 ATK) in Attack Mode and equip him with the Gladiator Beast's Battle Manica card to prevent him from being destroyed in battle. Essedarii, attack his Neos! *Neos is destroyed* You're lucky I have no resources left right now and end my turn,'' said Heraklinos. (Hand: 0 cards)
``First I'll use my Fifth Hope card and with that, I target 5 Elemental HERO monsters in my Grave and shuffle them into the Deck. Then I draw 2 cards. Next I'll bring back Neos (2500 ATK) in Attack Mode using Skyscraper 2! Neos appears. Then I play Neo-Spacian Grand Mole (900 ATK) in Attack Mode. Grand Mole, attack Essedarii!
``You really think your pipsqueak will do anything to my....wait a minute, this doesn't add up!'' protested Heraklinos before and when Essedarii and Grand Mole disappear.
``Grand Mole doesn't calculate damage and instead sends both his attack target and himself back to the hand and now you're open for my Neos' direct attack! Heraklinos' LP drops to 2300. I'll throw down a face-down and leave it at that,'' replied Jaden. (Hand: 0 cards)
``I Summon another Hoplomus (2100 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn,'' said Heraklinos. (Hand: 0 cards)
``Then it's game over for you as I play my Grand Mole again and have him attack your Hoplomus! Both monsters disappear. Now my Neos attacks directly! Heraklinos' LP drops to 0. That's game!'' declared Jaden.
``I gotta hand it to you, private. Ya did well to beat my Deck. Alright, Gladiators, we have some changes to make so head to our training station stat!'' said Heraklinos before he and his army disappear.
``That was impressive,'' remarked Alexis.
``I concur, Alexis. Jaden, you managed to find a weak spot in a Deck none of us knew about,'' added Bastion.
``Yeah well I do what I can,'' replied Jaden.
``I don't think I would've done that well,'' said Syrus.
``Hey Chazz, what new cards did you get?'' asked Jaden.
``More lame Ojama cards. It's like they think I have some kind of weird fetish with them or something,'' answered Chazz.
``I think they look pretty cool,'' said Jaden.
``You think everything is cool, Jaden,'' snapped Chazz.
``Only what I've seen,'' added Jaden.
``Are you Chazz Princeton?'' asked a voice.
``Yeah, who's asking?'' questioned Chazz.
``Your Dueling opponent. Call me Rogue,'' said Rogue.
``Well then are you ready to get Chazz'd, Rogue?'' asked Chazz.
``The defeat will be yours once I'm through with you,'' countered Rogue.
``Allow me to make the first move by activating a Field Spell called Ojama Country, which not only swaps the ATK and DEF of all monsters in play if I have an Ojama monster out, but also lets me toss an Ojama in my hand to get one from my Grave. Getting scared yet? You will be soon," stated Chazz.
