Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Alright, make your choice, you two. Pick one card from these three."

"Hmm? These cards are..."

【Blue-Eyes Cartoon Dragon】(Attack Power: 3000), 【Cartoon Dark Magician】(Attack Power: 2500), 【Red-Eyes Cartoon Dragon】(Attack Power: 2400).

This corresponds to Seto Kaiba's "Blue-Eyes White Dragon," Yugi Muto's "Dark Magician," and Katsuya Jonouchi's "Red-Eyes Black Dragon."

The three cartoon monsters that Pegasus is showing at this moment are based on the three ace monsters and are printed as cartoon series monsters.

Looking at these three distinctive monsters, not only Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon in the dueling arena, but also the onlookers couldn't help but show a touch of emotion on their faces.

Goodness, is this the privilege of card manufacturers? They can make any kind of card for you...

"Ugh... I choose... [Red-Eyes Cartoon Dragon]!"

After regaining their senses, the two of them made the same choice without prior agreement, pointing to the card with the lowest attack power among the three cards: Red-Eyes Toon Dragon.

Their choice was exactly what Bekas expected.

"Then, I will Special Summon this card."

Pegasus shuffled the deck, putting the remaining two cards back into it. Then, he reached out and placed the black dragon in his hand onto the Duel Disk: "...Come forth! [Red-Eyes Toon Dragon]!!!"

Black and red flames suddenly ignited, and accompanied by Pegasus's call, the three-headed cartoon version of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, blinking its cute big eyes and flapping its wings, emerged from the flames.

Although it looks harmless, this cartoon monster actually has the same basic attributes as the real thing.

-

【Red-Eyed Cartoon Dragon】

(Dragon/Dark/7-star/Attack: 2400/Defense: 2000)

Cartoon/Effect:

①: This card cannot attack during the turn it is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned.

②: If you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack directly.

③: Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can Special Summon 1 Toon Monster from your hand, except "Red-Eyes Toon Dragon," ignoring its Summoning conditions.

-

Pegasus: "[Red-Eyes Toon Dragon]'s effect activates once per turn. During your Main Phase, target 1 [Toon] monster in your hand other than this card's name, and Special Summon it regardless of its Summoning conditions~"

Professor Chronos & Coach Napoleon: "...What??? It's a special summon that ignores the summoning conditions?"

Explaining the effects of the monsters on the field, Pegasus, with a relaxed expression, placed a new card on the Duel Disk: "...Using the effect of [Red-Eyes Toon Dragon], I Special Summon this card to the field... Descend! [Toon Chaos Warrior]!"

Everyone: "...!!!"

As Bekas finished speaking, a bright blue light instantly enveloped the entire area.

One soul guides the light, one soul guides the darkness, and in the end, light and darkness create the chaotic world! The Chaos Warriors have arrived!

Based on the Great Creation and possessing the same attributes, a brand new cartoon monster appeared beside the [Red-Eyes Toon Dragon] amidst dazzling light.

Although it still has the cartoonish three-headed design, this monster exudes an even stronger aura than the Black Dragon!

613 I've dealt a heavy blow to my teammate!

"Special Summon... Ignoring Summoning Conditions, Descend! [Cartoon Chaos Warrior]!"

As Pegasus called out, azure light instantly enveloped the entire arena.

From that dazzling light, the three-headed Chaos Warrior, a cartoonish version of the Great Creation, appeared before everyone's eyes, standing beside the [Red-Eyes Cartoon Dragon].

-

Cartoon Chaos Warrior

(Warrior/Earth/8-star/Attack: 3000/Defense: 2500)

Special Summon/Cartoon/Effect:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned. It can be Special Summoned by Tributing Toon monsters from your hand or field whose combined Levels are 8 or higher.

①: If you control "Toon World" and your opponent controls no Toon monsters, this card can attack directly.

②: Once per turn, if you control "Toon World", you can target 1 card on the field; banish that card. This card cannot attack the turn this effect is activated.

-

"...What?!"

"A... Chaos Warrior?!"

Professor Chronos and Coach Napoleon were both stunned when they saw the monster with an attack power of 3000 that Pegasus had summoned. A look of shock appeared on their faces at the same time.

At the same time, a bold guess also emerged in their minds.

Since the Red-Eyes Black Dragon gains new effects after being cartoonized, will the Chaos Warrior also receive the same? If so, then…

"【Toon Chaos Warrior】's second effect can be activated once per turn. If you control 【Toon World】, you can target 1 card on the field and banish that card! If this effect is activated, this card cannot attack... However, it can't attack in the first turn anyway."

As the two predicted, the cartoonish monsters will gain new abilities that match them.

Explaining the monster's effect, Pegasus then pointed to the two people standing opposite him: "...[Ancient Machine Demon] is unaffected by other card effects, so I choose to banish your backrow face-down card, Mr. Medici~"

Professor Chronos: "...!!!"

Medici is Professor Chronos's surname, and Pegasus, who had targeted him, immediately issued the corresponding commands to his monster.

Upon hearing Pegasus's words, a sharp, cold glint flashed in the adorable eyes of the [Cartoon Chaos Warrior].

With a flash of sword light invisible to the naked eye, the face-down card in Professor Chronos's backcourt shattered in the next instant, turning into countless golden specks of light.

From the torn fragments, one can vaguely discern that the face-down card was a trap card for attacking and declaring a trap, belonging to the "Exalted Power" family.

"Hmm, looks like I made the right choice~"

Seeing that Professor Chronos's somewhat threatening card had been sent to another dimension, Pegasus nodded and revealed a satisfied smile.

"I can't attack in the first round... so I'll just set up two cards here, and the turn ends~~~"

Pegasus, having summoned two high-level Toon Monsters in one go, then, after making sure he hadn't missed anything, reached out and placed his two cards face down in his back row.

Manjoume: "As expected of the father of Duel Monsters, his strength is truly impressive!"

Kenzan: "Chaos Warriors, Dark Magicians, and even Blue-Eyes White Dragon... There are so many powerful monsters, Chairman Pegasus... It's terrifying!"

With the first round over, the formal offensive and defensive battle is about to begin.

"It is my turn... to draw a card!"

Feeling the pressure emanating from Bekas, Coach Napoleon couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

After looking at his hand, he reached out and took the card that automatically popped out of the Duel Disk.

"Instructor!"

"Ok?"

Just as Coach Napoleon was drawing cards, Professor Chronos suddenly spoke to him, "Now we're getting down to business, so you'd better do your best!"

"..."

Listening to Professor Chronos's words and recalling his impressive performance just now, Coach Napoleon's eyes narrowed unconsciously.

A barely perceptible glint of cold light flashed across his face.

He didn't answer Professor Chronos's question, but instead stretched out his palm in front of him: "At this moment, I activate the effect of my [Toy Soldier] on the field. During my Standby Phase, while this card is face-up on the field, I can summon as many copies of it as possible from my Deck!"

"Come on! Toy Soldier #2, and Toy Soldier #3!"

As Napoleon finished speaking, two beams of light summoned by monsters lit up in front of him.

Two French-style toy soldiers, identical in appearance to the previous monsters, appeared before him amidst a beam of light.

[Toy Soldier] (Attack Power: 800) ×3

"Next, I'll activate the Spell Card [Forced March] from my hand~"

Drawing a single card and showing it to everyone, Coach Napoleon continued, "Based on the effect of this card, I can grant the monsters on the field the ability to attack directly, at the cost of halving their ATK!"

"...800 halved is 400, and three of them together can deal 1200 damage... Then in the next turn, I can activate the effect of [Ancient Mechanical Demon] again, which can deal another 1000 damage to Chairman Pegasus... So that adds up to 2200 points!"

A calculating expression appeared on Professor Chronos's face as he counted on his fingers, a hint of smugness creeping onto his face.

Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie...

Foolish Chairman Pegasus!

You may be very strong, but so what?

Two fists can't beat four hands; you're still too naive and arrogant!

If we work together and use our special tactics to beat you, it's not a dream!

"Target: Pegasus, all hands on deck, fire!!!"

After activating his magic card, Coach Napoleon immediately commanded his monster to launch a direct attack on Pegasus.

Ignoring the Cartoon Chaos Warrior and the Red-Eyes Cartoon Dragon in front of Pegasus, the Toy Soldiers remained kneeling and aimed at Pegasus.

"……oh!"

The first bullet hit Pegasus squarely in the abdomen, dealing him 400 damage.

(Bekas LP: 2400→2000)

"Well done! Now for the second shot, fire!"

"...Yeah! NO~~~"

The second bullet hit Bekas in the waist, causing him to instinctively jump up in a rather comical pose.

(Bekas LP: 2000→1600)

"Well done! Napoleon, give it another shot!"

Seeing Napoleon's offensives repeatedly taking effect on Pegasus, Professor Chronos, who saw a glimmer of hope for victory, couldn't help but cheer loudly for him.
