Yu-Gi-Oh!
Reuniting Darkness with Light
The Seal of Balancéa
Ever since the introduction of Yami, the Duelist Kingdom Tournament, the Battle City Tournament, the Doom Organization, and other crazy stuff that's happened, the lovely and young Téa Gardner decided to try to rest up so she could keep up. She then thought about all in her life she's been through, becoming friends with Yugi since they were at a young age and falling in love with his alter ego, Yami (who just left for the world beyond). It's hard enough to see him go off on some scary adventure. Right now, Yugi possesses the 3 Egyptian God Cards. What more does he need?
In her sleep, Téa wondered if there are other cards like those and much more, then suddenly her mind opened to something unusual; first she saw the dreadful Seal of Orichalcos; a semi-all-powerful magic circle of ancient magic more ancient than Yami! Then she sees a girl with unruly pink hair wielding a metallic bird, as well as the dreadful Spell Card, & along with a Spell Card with a golden version of the Orichalcos! Téa thought, "What's this? A girl who is foolish enough to wield the Seal of Orichalcos?"
The pink-haired girl shouted, "I play the Seal of Orichalcos, and then I play the Seal of Destiniop!" Téa was confused, "The Seal of Destiniop?" The dreaded green-colored Magic Circle formed around the field, another Magic Circle formed, only golden-colored this time and right over the Orichalcos Seal! The two Magic Circles fused together into a blue Magic Circle! Then the pink-haired girl shouted "Behold, when the evil Seal of Orichalcos and the kindhearted Seal of Destiniop are both played regardless of the players, the almighty Seal of Balancéa is formed!"
Then the pink-haired woman completely transformed! It was the doing of the Seal of Balancéa; the pink-haired girl had activated the ancient magic within. Téa can feel the strange new energies flooding into the girl's body. The light was so bright, that she had to shut her eyes. When it faded away, the pink-haired woman stood with more confidence than she was first seen. She had remained unchanged except for her hair, which was more unruly, along with a few extra inches and other size modifications added to her. With one quick turn, she looked at where Téa is and said to her, "Téa Gardner, you have been chosen."
Téa woke up with a start! Téa thought, ("It must've been a dream; there are no other cards that could change that of the Seal of Orichalcos, or is there?") Téa pulled herself together; she knew she has a date with Yugi, but she was almost exhausted.
Hours later in their date, the thought that struck her in her dreams just hit her again. She asked her childhood friend, "Yugi?" Yugi responded, "Yes, Téa? What is it?" Téa asked, "I've been thinking, what if there were any other cards like the Seal of Orichalcos or the Legendary Dragons." "Perhaps, I've been saving the world for a long time." Then her lost love for Yami (and the newfound one for Yugi) struck her heart like Cupid's arrow again! She felt that she had to bring her feelings for him sooner or later, "Yugi–– I… What I mean to say is––"
A loud crash ruined the moment! Téa & Yugi looked in the direction where the crash was; which is right next to them! The particular "crash" is actually a pink-haired girl in a blue Varion-like bodysuit who dropped a lot of pink paper wrapped gifts! She looks timid and shy, and looks exactly like the brave pink-haired girl in her dreams!
Téa's eyes went wide and she pointed at the pink-haired girl, "It's YOU! The brave pink-haired girl in my dreams recently!" The shy little pink-haired girl is much surprised to see Téa as much as Téa is at seeing her! She timidly spoke to Téa, "Téa Gardner!" She came to Téa and hugged her tightly! Yugi was confused, "Who may you be, miss?" The young lady answered, "My name is Athena Bubo. I've been ordered by my employer to get——"
Before she could finish her answer, another woman's scream was heard! They ran out to find out what it was about; it is another girl in trouble, by someone dressed like the Grim Reaper! He let the girl go, he's been obviously setting up things to bait somebody. Yugi said to the dark figure, "You don't give up, do you?"
The dark figure casually said, "I don't, Yugi Muto! But, maybe instead of dueling you, I might target your beloved friend, Téa Gardner!" Téa panicked, a dangerous-looking Duelist targeted her. Athena stepped up to the plate for her and defended her; "You keep her out of this!" Then Athena drew a deck of Duel Monsters cards from out of nowhere! The dark figure scoffed and said, "So you wish to display to these fools our powers?" Téa asked Athena, "You're planning to counter his Seal of Orichalcos with your Seal of Destiniop, aren't you?" Yugi looked at Téa with a curious but worried face, he saw into her eyes that she found out something he didn't!
Yugi asked Téa, "Téa, are you sure about this? Paradius has been taken down. So how can the Seal of Orichalcos be still working?" The dark figure said, "Ah, I see that the little nightingale foresaw our Duel. So, do you still wish to duel me, Athena darling?" Athena, shaking in her boots, cried out "I've got to do everything I can to protect Mistress Téa!" Those words attracted more and more attention; especially form Yugi's friends and acquaintances.
Joey was interested and asked, "Mistress Téa? Hey, Téa, since when were you Queen of the World?" Téa defended, "I don't know what you're talking about!" Tristan noticed something and pointed up, "Everyone, look up there!" A pink-colored robotic phoenix flew from the sky and perched onto Athena's held out left arm and transformed into a pink Duel Disk (maybe that's what if is)! The dark figure's Duel Disk is similar to that of the Doom Organization's: yet this one's black, sleek, and folds out into the shape of a large and long axe's blade. The Duel started!

Athena: 8000 LP
Dark figure: 8000 LP

The dark figure & Athena called out to each other in unison, "It's time to duel!"
The dark figure drew his first card first, "What do you know, Athena my dear, I've just drawn the card to bring your destruction!" He revealed the card he just drawn and to almost everyone's horror––
Yugi was horrified, "No! It can't be! The Seal of Orichalcos!" So was Joey, "NOT AGAIN!"
The dark figure played his Orichalcos Ring, the dreaded green ring formed onto the field, pushing outsiders away! The figure's eyes glowed an evil red with a copy of the Orichalcos symbol mark on his forehead! The dark figure taunted Athena, "Since I know you have more weak monsters than strong ones, I think I'll be fair and summon a weak monster, Kuriboh!"
The hairball with two huge cute purple eyes and four green paws called Kuriboh appeared (Type: Fiend-Dark/Effect/L: 1/A: 300/D: 200), but then when it entered the Orichalcos Ring surrounded field, its cute puppy eyes turned into an scary evil glare as the Orichalcos mark formed above its eyes (A: 800)!
The dark figure called out to Athena, "I also play the Spell Card, Multiply! Turning my one Kuriboh into many–– Ten in fact!" And as the Spell Card with a picture of a multiplying yellow fiend appeared, his Kuriboh multiplied by 10! Mako Tsunami, from out in the crowd, frowned at the dark figure, "That's not right! You're supposed to have only 5 Kuriboh Tokens!" Rex Raptor, who was also there, explained, "Thanks to that all-powerful Spell Card, he can! The power of Orichalcos doubles the maximum amount of monsters he's allowed to have!"
The dark figure laid down another Spell Card, "And I also play the power of Mystic Plasma Zone!" As he placed his Field Spell Card, darkness enveloped the skies and a dark-violet cloud started to shoot down onto the Field! The Kuriboh Tokens are no longer the same, exploding from their normal forms into furry gremlin monsters, each one as big as little Yugi (A: 1300/D: 0)!
The sight frightened Joey, "Man! That's foul! This is a child's nightmare!" Tristan calmed Joey, "Relax, Joey; it was his turn first, so he cannot attack on the first turn. Plus by playing Multiply, his monsters are set in Defense Mode." The extremely young college girl, Rebecca, also helped Tristan, "Besides, he cannot use those monsters to sacrifice to summon any high-leveled monsters."
The dark figure smugly laughed at their attempted act to try to calm down Joey and said between each laughter, "Actually, little one. What you have anticipated is that I have at least two cards in my hand that may change all of that! I place two cards facedown." Athena seemed a little afraid, "I believe it's my move." Joey felt how she was feeling and asked, "Is it just me, or is she too shy or scared out of her wits?" Duke Devlin and Tristan said in unison at their friend, "It's just you."
As Athena drew a card from her deck, the Dark figure grinned and shouted, "Activating Trap Card, Gamble!" The pictures of the Trap Card that flipped up both contain a hand that's about to flip a coin! He pulled out a coin and flipped it, "It's not a double-tailed coin or a double-headed coin, and I choose Tails!" He looked at it, and it was Tails! He draws until he's got five cards in his hand. Espa Roba was horrified by the foe's villainous luck, "He must be extremely lucky!"
Athena starting to calm down a little, "I believe I should thank you." Even though he doesn't show it, the dark figure was confused, "For what?" Athena slowly answered, "I've got some pretty special monsters. First, I guess I'll play the Spirit of the Pot of Greed and then the Spell Card, Pot of Greed." She played the Spell Card with the green pot with a smiling face, out from the mouth of the pot came a shy little white spirit (Type: Fairy-Light/Effect/L: 1/A: 200/D: 100). She drew three more cards, giving her a grand total of seven. Athena then said, "I now summon three Fiend Mega-Cyber warrior monsters of darkness."
Beside her small fairy monster stood a villainous violet vortex and out them stood three mighty warriors in gleaming golden armor (Type: Warrior-Dark/Effect/L: 6/A: 2200/D: 1200)! Then the Mystic Plasma Zone reacted to her warriors giving them more power (A: 2700/D: 800), since it is a Field Spell Card! Athena timidly then said, "Then I play Token Thanksgiving." Her Spell Card appeared; the picture on it shows a few green goblins collecting Scapegoats and other Monster Tokens. The mutated Kuriboh Tokens got stripped of their power and got collected by goblins from out of nowhere, these holographic goblins handed the Monster Tokens to her as a buffet! She blushed at their offering, "And I believe about 500 per Monster Token, and there was 10; which should equal up to 5000."

Téa cheered for Athena with glee, "Alright! She gains extra Life Points!" The others followed her lead! Mai Valentine (who is beside Joey) cried out to Athena, "You go, girl!" Joey held up a clenched fist and cried out to her, "You heard Mai, go and kick his Grim Reaper copycat butt!"
Athena heard their encouragement and sighed before going on, "Now I believe I'll activate this Magic Circle." Before seeing the card being played, Téa said, "Oh, the Seal of Destiniop!" Téa is right! Just like in her dream: another Magic Circle formed, only golden-colored this time and right over the Orichalcos Seal! Then the original Seal of Orichalcos (belonging to the dark figure) shattered, "Since the Seal of Balancéa is a lot more powerful, it cancels out and tames the Seal of Orichalcos' powers." The two Magic Circles fused together into a blue Magic Circle! Then Athena's personality changed (like when Yugi turns into Yami Yugi), she looked up at her opponent and her audience. Athena, no longer the timid young woman they last saw, said to all viewers, "Behold, when the evil Seal of Orichalcos and the kindhearted Seal of Destiniop are both played regardless of the players, the almighty Seal of Balancéa is formed!"
Surprisingly, the dark figure transformed into a figure like Yami Marik; only more muscular and enormous, he spoke to Athena, "You forget, Athena my dear; when the Seal of Balancéa is summoned, all Duelists dueling each other transform into their inner God or Goddess form!" Athena finished for him by saying, "And we both get special abilities; I choose the power to grant new powers to each of my little friends!"
Athena's puny little Spirit of the Pot of Greed turned into a huge genie (Type: fairy-effect-Light/L: 1/A: 200/D: 100), chains formed onto Athena's cards that linked to her Pot of Greed Spirit (A: 4200/D: 4100)! Her Warriors changed from gold to gold and silver lined armored warriors (Type: warrior-effect-Dark/L: 6/A: 2200/D: 1200), plus a powerful aura formed swords in their hands (A: 3700/D: 1200)! Athena then said, "They also get wills of their own!"
It was proven when her Spirit of the Pot of Greed shouted out to her opponent and to all who watched, "Yeah! I gain 1000 Attack and Defense Points for every card in my lady's hand! And these three fine fellows get 500 Attack Points for each of them on the field!" Joey was shocked, "That hologram talked!" Mai was as shocked as the others, "Could it be? That they're now much more than holograms?" The 3 copies of Athena's Fiend Mega-Cyber shouted together in unison as they joined swords, "All for one and one for all!" (A la Three Musketeers)
Athena then called out, "When you lose Life Points to me giving the damage, I gain the amount of Life Points you just lost, or if you did attack me, vice-versa! Attack my loyal Mega-Cyber musketeers!" Athena's monsters attacked the dark figure hard and ferociously!
----------
Athena: 13000 LP
Dark figure: 0 LP

Athena stood triumphant over the dark figure, which desperately cried out "No, this can't be!" The empowered Athena then declared, "As the winner, my mortal self gains a special power and we choose your fate! You will be deprived of your rank amongst the human race and you, the man known as Kido Bubo, will no longer exist!" The dark figure, once known as Kido Bubo, then evilly said, "I have no need for that name or any connections to you among all beings; I will still serve my master as a memory. For he gave me a name to strike fear into the hearts of those you've sworn to find, my name is now Dark Void. Good-bye, my dear former fiancé!"
Athena then glared at him, declaring "Be gone, Dark Void!" Zap! A bolt of lightning struck the mysterious figure on the head and his body disintegrated, while Athena changed back to normal, with a golden shower sprinkling down on her. She walked up to her opponent's clothes and Duel Disk that were left behind. The skies cleared up when the Duel was over…
Athena kneeled over the clothes and cried her eyes out, "Kido, I'm sorry."
Yugi, walked up to Athena with Téa and the others, and said, "I'm sorry for your fiancé." Athena still timidly cried, "It's all right, Mr. Muto. It's just that he had to go so far to reach up for goal and he sold his soul to the devil." Rebecca importantly asked, "Why did he challenge Téa instead of Yugi?" Pulling herself together, Athena stood up and hugged Téa again, "Because she is one of the few chosen ones for the safety of our future!"
Now explanations are really needed for this!
