8100 ATK!
"Super-Ancient Dinobeast, attack!"
Loren roared.
"Obliterate Kaiba's Chaos MAX Dragon!"
All the dinosaurs' energy converged on Super-Ancient Dinobeast. The massive power gathered in its mouth, then burst forth as a torrent of energy!
A thunderous roar, an explosion of light. Loren's vision blurred, his mind hazy, and for a moment, the mighty beast merged with a memory.
"β¦"
"Loren's birthday present."
A man handed a finely crafted toy dinosaur to a child.
The child beamed, adding it to his dinosaur collection.
He'd loved dinosaurs since he was little, with a box full of dinosaur toys. Every time his father returned from a trip, he'd bring back a new toy.
But little did the boy know, that would be the last gift he'd ever receive from his father.
"β¦"
For a moment, that little dinosaur overlapped with the Super-Ancient Dinobeast on the field, now a vengeful spirit unleashing all Loren's rage.
"Then, the effect of 'Juragedo' in my hand: I can Special Summon it during the battle step," Kaiba said coolly. "And I gain 1000 LP."
[Juragedo, DEF 1300]
[Kaiba, LP 4000β5000]
"Next, Juragedo's second effect: Tribute it to give one of my monsters +1000 ATK until end of turn. Can be used during your turn."
Kaiba targeted Chaos MAX Dragon.
"Tribute Juragedo, Chaos MAX Dragon gains 1000 ATK."
[Chaos MAX Dragon, ATK 4000β5000]
"Still, Super-Ancient Dinobeast is stronger!" Loren yelled. "Attack continues, smash the Chaos MAX Dragon!"
Even 5000 ATK would be top-tier for most monsters, but here, it wasn't enough.
Chaos MAX Dragon's armor couldn't withstand the impact. The overwhelming strike pierced its body, and the dragon vanished into stardust. The hellish energy surged past Kaiba, hitting the green barrier behind him, causing ripples.
[Kaiba, LP 5000β1900]
"Big brother!"
Mokuba tried to rush forward.
Kaiba stumbled but regained his footing.
"Not bad," he said calmly.
Loren was engulfed in green flames, his eyes burning with fury.
"You held on? Good, very good! This isn't enough to quell my anger!"
"But your 'Brave Attack' has a side effect," Kaiba reminded him. "After using it, all your attack position monsters are destroyed at the end of the battle phase."
"Heh, of course I know."
As Loren spoke, explosions echoed across his field: Dark Driceratops, both Babycerasaurus, and finally Super-Ancient Dinobeast, all shattered before him.
Just like his old collection, his past, all burned away.
"Babycerasaurus's effect," Loren said grimly. "When destroyed by effect, Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Dino from deck.
