The beautiful metropolis Sakadia sparkles in the bright light of a summer day. The stone paved streets are teeming with duelists from around the entire universe. The tall skyscrapers glisten off of the sunlight and cast deep shadows over the people below. Laughter can be heard near the town square. A group of Teens are dueling on top of the huge water fountain. Both kids are low in Life Points and have a monster on the field. One of the Teens was tall, with spiky blonde hair. He was wearing a dark, black coat with a hood and long sleeves. He appeared to be losing. The other Teen was a girl. She was dressed in a green and blue kimono that was made of pure silk. A golden rope was tied around her waist. She had long wavy brown hair that went down to the mid section of her back. In her hair, she wore a bright blue bow. The duel was heating up.
The guy had The Dark Magician on his side of the field. The magician is grinning mischievously at his opponent as he holds his staff. He floats in the air, waiting for his master's orders. The girl had Geisha Queen Anastasia on the field. [Geisha Queen, Anastasia: Level 9/LIGHT/ATK 2950/DEF2450; Effect: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by Tributing 5 Warrior-Type monsters on your side of the field with "Geisha" written in their name. When this card is successfully summoned to the field, put 5 Blade Counters on this card. This card loses 200 ATK for every Blade Counter it has. Once per turn, remove 1 Blade Counter to destroy 1 card on the field. Once this card has no more Blade Counters on it, the ATK of this card is doubled.] A girl in black and white was holding a scepter, glistening in rubies. She was smiling wickedly at the guy's monster.
Girl: 4000 LP/ Guy: 500 LP.
"Ok, Cay. Let's see that sad little face for when I trounce you," Said the girl to the guy named Cay with a snicker as she drew a card from her deck.
TURN 1: Welcome To Sakadia, Loser.
The girl adds the card she drew to her hand. She smiles and giggles as she looks at Cay's field. All he has is a pathetic monster on the field, and nothing else. She had this duel in the bag. Thanks to her monster's effect, she had been able to destroy any card he threw at her, and now since all the Blade Counters were gone, her monster's ATK was now doubled to 5900. One Attack from her monster and it was over for Cay.
"Hurry up and make a move Erica!" Cay growled to her in rage. Erica just scoffed,
"Trust me, you will know when I'm ready to crush you……like right now," Erica said with a smirk. She took a card from her hand and slammed it onto her Duel Disk.
"I play Monster Reborn and Special Summon your Dark Magician from your Graveyard to my side of the field!" Erica laughed as a sword with the hilt of a dragon stabbed into the waters of the fountain. The water around them glowed and bubbled. From out of the depths of the fountain sprung The Dark Magician and landed gracefully besides Geisha Queen Anastasia. The two monsters grinned at each other and shook hands, now on the same side. Erica was still laughing.
"Take this twerp!" Erica roared out, pointing a finger directly at Cay's heart. He looked nervous, a bit flustered.
"Dark Magician! Destroy Cay's last defense with Dark Magic Attack!" Dark Magician leapt into the air, twirling his staff in the air, and let out a shock of energy from the palm of his hand, attacking the other Dark Magician. Both monsters shattered before their eyes, the shockwave causing Cay to fumble a bit. Erica stood her ground. Cay was now defenseless.
"Finish this duel Anastasia with Elegant Broad Slash!" Erica shouted. Anastasia grabbed the end of her scepter and pulled, letting a long, shiny blade slide out. She smiled and charged right at Cay. She slashed right at him.
"Not so fast Erica! I discard one Kuriboh from my hand to negate the damage!" Said Cay as he discarded one card from my hand. Anastasia had attacked a furry, brown, little monster instead. The monster shrieked and exploded from the slash. Anastasia looked angry, and so did Erica.
"You got very lucky!" Erica said with a growl as she set 1 card face-down and ended her turn.
"I'm going to end this on your turn little boy," Erica spat. Cay shuddered a bit and drew a card. His hopes instantly rose.
"This maneuver might actually work!" He thought hopefully.
"Ok Erica, time to get back on track!" Cay said as he threw a card onto his duel disk.
"Go, Skilled Dark Magician!" Cay said triumphantly. A dark robed magician materialized itself onto the field, holding a staff. He had three little symbols on its two shoulders and chest.
"Now I play Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards from my deck!" Cay said, drawing 2 cards. His eyes bulged at his hand. A symbol on the Skilled Dark Magician glowed yellow.
"YES!" Cay said triumphantly as he threw 2 Spell cards on his duel disk.
"I play Fusion Sage and Emblem of the Dragon Destroyer!" Cay said as an old man flashed onto the field. He was holding a spell book in his hand. He was reading it.
"These two cards let me add 1 Polymerization and 1 Buster Blader from my Deck to my hand!" Cay said as he added two cards from his Deck into his hand. Erica knew what he was doing.
"And now that my Skilled Dark Magician has three Spell Counters, I can tribute him to Special summon," Cay was laughing as his monster disappeared.
"Come back, my Dark Magician!" Cay said with a cheer as the Dark Magician reappeared on the field once again.
"It's not going to work," Sang Erica with a smile.
"Watch it happen," Cay said as he played yet another card, "Go, Polymerization!" Cay said with a bright smile. Dark Magician leaped up into the air, where a rift in space was creating. Buster Blader flew out of Cay's hand and went into the rift as well.
"Time for one of my Ace Cards!" Cay said, as the wind around the town square picked up. The crowd gasped.
"Come forth, Dark Paladin!" Cay shouted. He held his hands in the air. Out of the sky came a huge crash of lightning, hitting the water and the water sizzled. Out of the steam, came a large warrior with a jagged staff that also acted as a sword. Cay grinned, he hand this won.
"Not so fast!" Erica said quickly, "Reveal face-down, Showdown In The Temple!" [Showdown In The Temple!: Quick-Play Spell Card- Activate when a monster on your opponent's side of the field is Special Summoned. Select one monster on your field .Your opponent's monsters must Attack the selected card immediately.]
"NO!" Cay gasped out as he saw his monster resentfully raising his staff, ready to Attack Anastasia.
"Oh yes, game over Cay," Erica said with a chuckle as she pointed to him. Anastasia mimicked Erica's actions.
"Kill him Anastasia!" Erica said with pure triumph. Dark Paladin charged at Geisha Queen, Anastasia and ran right into her sword. He was destroyed in an instant. The blast of his destruction sent a shockwave at Cay. He fell over and landed into the water fountain.
Erica: 4000 LP/ Cay: 0 LP
The monsters dissolved in a flash. Erica did a back flip and landed on the stone walkway. The onlookers cheered.
"Erica! Erica! Erica!" The crowd was going nuts. Cay got out of the frigid waters.
"Did you actually think you could beat one of the Council of Five?" Erica asked Cay, surprised, but then laughed, "Go back to the alleys peasant!" Erica said curtly. And with a little curtsey, she turned around and walked away. People were throwing Sakura petals from behind her. They cleared a path for her as she turned down a street. She flicked her hair and grinned. Cay just stood there, gaping at her. The other onlookers dispersed and walked away, the show was over. Cay was growling, his fists clenched.
"Mark my words Erica, I will beat you, and then I, Cay Brendan, will become one of the Council of Five!"
To be continued.
