~Duelist Kingdom~

As Yume and her friends, Joey, Téa and Tristan, were getting used to Duelist Kingdom, Yume is also on a mission to rescue her great-grandfather, Solomon's soul from Maximillion Pegasus.

"The only way to save him," Yume told her new friends, "is to beat Pegasus in a duel! But first, I'm gonna need nine more Star Chips!"

"And I'll make sure," Joey added, "I come with you, Yume!"

"Thanks!" She said, then noticed someone else nearby. "Hey, is that-"

"Weevil Underwood!" Joey exclaimed.

"WEEVIL!" Yume shouted at him. "Come over here for a duel!"

But Weevil just turned around and walked away, laughing. Then he started running. "Get back here, Weevil!"

"I just don't understand!" Joey exclaimed. "Why would Weevil run?"

"Don't care, Joey!" Yume said angrily. "All I care about is defeating him!" And she ran after him.

"Hey, Yume!" Joey called out. "Wait for us!" Soon, all her friends started joining in, too.

I don't get it, Yume thought, Weevil wanted to duel with me ever since we met! But why would he run from me? Unless… She figured it out. This may have been part of the new rules that Weevil told me about! I better figure it out and fast! Yume soon reached the edge of the forest that Weevil ran into earlier, only to see him, smirking.

"Well, Yume," he announced, "once again you flew right into my trap!"

"Better explain yourself, Weevil!" Yume demanded, still having the memory of losing Exodia! "It's time we settle this with a duel!"

"I'll gladly accept it, YUME!" Weevil said as the ground shook.

"Is this an earthquake?!" Tristan shouted.

"What's going on, Weevil?" Yume shouted.

Weevil just snickered. When the ground finally separated in two, a dueling platform showed up. "Nice try, Yume!" Weevil said. "You stepped into a hornet's nest with no way out!"

"What's going on here?!"

"I'll see you," Weevil announced, "on the field!"

Both Weevil and Yume got ready and settled the bets. "If you win," Yume announced, "not only will you obtain my one star chip, you'll also take my Duel Monsters deck! But I'm taking your two Star Chips if I win!"

"Now that," Weevil said happily, "is something I'll like! PREPARE TO DUEL!"

A crowd gathered just before Yume and Weevil were about to duel, and were surprised to see them dueling before the finals.

"Whenever you're ready, Weevil!"

"Squash this insect, Yume!" Joey cheered on.

Both Weevil and Yume drew their cards. "And now," Weevil announced, starting the duel, "I like to see you take on my Killer Needle!" A giant bee showed up.

"Try as you might, Weevil!" Yume said. "But first, get through my Mammoth Graveyard first! Which the attack points are tied! Mammoth Graveyard, ATTACK!"

Her Mammoth charged towards the Killer Needle, but Weevil had other plans. "Show that Mammoth your stinger, Killer Needle!" Weevil commanded. "ATTACK!"

Both monsters attacked each other at the same time, but the Mammoth Graveyard got destroyed first.

"WHAT?!" Yume shouted. How did it happen? She thought. I never thought something like that would happen! Our monsters were tied!

"Do you know now," Weevil said, driving Yume out of her thoughts, "why I led you to this Forest area? Because this field is a replica of the surrounding environment: Part Wasteland and part Forest! And guess who's the leader of the Forest?"

Yume shook her head. "Bugs!" Weevil answered. "The strongest living things in the forest! As long as my bugs are played in the Forest area, I gain a Field Power Bonus! And if you focused on learning the new rules of the tournament," Weevil explained as his Killer Needle gains ATK Points to 1560, "you would get the bonus instead of me!"

"CHEATER!" Joey yelled. "Yume's at a disadvantage because you led her here!"

"Call me one if you might!" Weevil said. "It doesn't matter because I knew the rules already! And now Yume's going to get stung!"

But Yume just laughed. "Why are you laughing?!" Weevil demanded. "Look at your Killer Needle now!" Weevil did, and he saw it getting destroyed to pieces.

"NO!" he shouted. "How could this be? Your Mammoth Graveyard is just as powerful?!"

"If you kept your mouth shut," Yume said, "you wouldn't realize that Mammoth Graveyard also gets a Field Power Bonus on Wasteland area as well as your bugs from the Forest!"

"ARGH!" Weevil growled. "It was only supposed to be mine alone!"

"Which also reminds me," Yume asked, "why we are dueling in a remote island again? Because it all became clear with this holographic display grid showed up! You see, every monster has a type of field that makes it its home! And this island is special because it contains every single type of field known in Duel Monster's history.

"And to sum things up," Yume finished, "when you led us here, you were hoping for a field advantage!"

Weevil was at first angry because Yume figured out his plan in one turn, but then he started laughing. "You're very clever, Yume!" Weevil complemented. "But one rule is not enough! Everywhere is a surprise, even under a rock! And I know them all!"

"You got this, Yume!" Téa cheered on.

"Don't let him confuse you!" Joey encouraged. "He's probably bluffing!"

"Let's see how well I'm bluffing!" He summoned a beetle on his side of the field. "My Hercules Beetle," he said, "will find a way to crawl under your skin!"

I don't have time now, Yume thought, because now that I know about this, I can't change my deck! Maybe a card combo can help! "I play Feral Imp and equip him with the Horn of the Unicorn, adding Attack Points for him!"

"You need to play better than that to win this duel, Yume! Hercules Beetle, ATTACK!" The beetle started releasing its attack on Yume's Feral Imp.

"Feral Imp," Yume commanded, "MAGIC LIGHTNING, ATTACK!" The attack from the horn hit the beetle, but the magic disappeared before total damage is done, and the Feral Imp is destroyed instead of both of them being destroyed.

"Yume's attack," Téa said worriedly, "didn't even hit it!"

"I smell a rat in this joint!" Joey said.

"The magic attack," Yume said with anger, "should've destroyed the beetle, Weevil! What's the meaning of this? It's a trick, I know it!"

"That's when you're wrong, Yume!" he countered. "All monsters with a Field Power Bonus are immune to any magical attacks! My Hercules Beetle was immune to your lightning attack, he had enough to destroy your Feral Imp, and wipe out some of your Life Points!" Yume was a bit surprised, but saw her Life Points go down to 1350.

"Even his weakest bugs," Joey said, "would be tough to beat with the Field Power Bonus!

"And now it's your turn, Yume!"

I think, she thought, I better protect my life! In Defence Mode, the monster will be destroyed, but my Life Points spared!

"I guess," Weevil said, "you're deciding to play a defensive strategy now? Because now I'll have a hard time beating it! But you're strongest monsters can't stand against a Basic Insect! Because not only does he get a Field Power Bonus, I'm also giving him a Level 3 Laser Cannon and a Level 2 Power Boost upgrade!"

There is no way, Yume thought, my monster will stand a chance now! And that means my Life Points are next!

"And now, Yume," Weevil announced, "prepare to witness that even a harmless insect can become the most powerful one ALIVE! Time for some PAYBACK!" His Basic Insect released heavy power on Yume's monster, which was destroyed as a result!

"ARGH" Yume grunted.

"You'll definitely," he said triumphantly, "have to be better than that to survive this laser-powered arsenal!"

"And I'll," Yume countered, "place another monster in Defense position!"

"Nice try, Yume!" Weevil said. "Stay defensive, or this trap card will be activated!" He placed it down.

"Now," Tristan said, "Yume's cornered and can't counterattack!"

"You'll never make it out, Yume!" Weevil said.

Weevil's bragging so much, she thought, that he has no idea I'll be playing my own little trap! She placed down her own trap, which is Mirror Force! Payback time, Weevil! Just waiting to spring it on you.

"I've got you pinned, Yume!" Weevil said. "And since you can't attack me, I can attack you whenever I want! Whenever you cower in fear, I get a new monster!"

So for the next few turns, Weevil generates new insect monsters on his field to devastate Yume. "I got you now, Yume!" Weevil finally said. "You'll never win now!"

Okay, Weevil, Yume thought, My trap is just about ready to turn the tide of battle!

"Time," Weevil said, "to lose this duel, Yume!"

"Let's just see what I draw first!" Yume drew her card and felt better. "Here we go! I defend with the Dark Magician!"

"You're second favorite card is my next target! My pet, charge up your laser cannon!"

His bug started charging up the cannon to attack the Dark Magician. "Now, ATTACK!" But Yume had other plans, and started to chuckle. "What's so funny, Yume?"

"You," Yume explained, "are not the only one to set a trap card, Weevil Underwood!"

"HUH?!"

"While you were busy powering up your bug army, you also forgot that I have a trap card just for that! Which, when I reveal it, turns into the Mirror Force Trap card!"

"Abort Launch!" Weevil said fearfully, but he was too late!

"Nice try, Weevil! But you're attack was already committed to attack my Dark Magician! Now say hello to a counter attack, wiping out your monsters on the field!" The blast was countered on Weevil's side, devastating his field of monsters.

"NO!" Weevil shouted. "M-My Life Points!" His Life Points drop down to 555! Yume's friends cheered her on for destroying the insects on Weevil's field!

My bug army! Weevil thought. She destroyed it! No matter, I have a new plan to finish her off!

"Nice try, Weevil!" Yume called out. "You may be a liar and a cheat, but overconfidence is your defeat in this duel! And since your Life Points are at a mere 555, and out of insects, I'll win this duel!"

Weevil just chuckled. "I also lied about that as well!"

"HUH?!"

"I still have the most devastating monster waiting in the wings! And this one will finish you off once and for all! And you may have destroyed my army, Yume!" Weevil said. "But the duel isn't over yet! I still have more tricks to come!"

"Try as you might, Weevil!" Yume said. "But you're not ready, yet! I'm still waiting for the stinger to take in full effect!"

"But since you're still new on this tournament, I'll make this real simple! I'll destroy you, just you wait! The lucky bug that would like to be helpful, but this little bug-" He pulled out a card, but didn't play it yet! "-isn't powerful enough against your monsters! But I guess I should play him in Defense Mode!" And he did so.

"Nice try, Weevil!" Yume called out. "Even though I could destroy it with any monster, I haven't forgotten about your Trap Card you played earlier!"

He won't trap me, she thought, and he still won't! It'll be triggered as soon as I attack, and it might destroy all my monsters! But what about if I remove them first and then destroy the Trap? It's worth a shot!

"Time to get serious, Weevil, and I'll start by playing the Magic card Monster Recovery, which allows me to have all my monsters back from the field to my deck!" Her monsters have been removed and she took them back! "And since," she added, "your Trap has nothing, and my monsters returned to my deck, I can also draw a new hand! And then I have to sacrifice a weaker monster, and it's time for your trap!"

She laid down a monster. "Kuriboh, ATTACK!"

"Eh, WHAT?!" Weevil saw his Trap card go into effect, destroying the Kuriboh.

"Trap cards," Yume said as her Life Points drop by 300, "are best known to be caught by surprise! So make sure you don't mess up your plan next time!"

Weevil just snickered, then started laughing. "Because I didn't! I never even care about a bee's behind about that silly Trap!"

"WHAT?!"

"I let you call back your monsters, so you couldn't attack this!" Weevil showed his monster!

It's only a larvae moth! Yume thought. It's not much of a threat. What's he up to now?

"Just because," Weevil snickered, "he's weak now, doesn't mean that the Cocoon of Evolution will change things up!"

"SERIOUSLY?!"

"Isn't this beautiful? The evolution change is taking effect on him!" His larvae started to change from weak insect, to a heavy shelled cocoon. "Behold the Cocoon of Evolution!" Weevil laughed. "And inside it, my larvae moth sits there! And during five turns, a transformation will happen to it! From harmless caterpillar to an unstoppable GREAT MOTH!"

"Then I better," Yume decided, "crack it before it's final!"

"Easier said than done, Yume! Because the Cocoon gets a field power bonus as well by boosting it's DEF Points! Raising it to 2600, making it very hard to break open, you can't even scratch the surface! And you only get five turns before my Great Moth comes out and end this duel!"

If Weevil, Yume thought, is true about what he said about his Great Moth, I better break that Cocoon of Evolution and fast! That thing will continue getting better as every second passing! But I better get rid of it and fast, because I'm not ready to face a Great Moth in this condition! I better find some way to get rid of it!

Yume tried to concentrate, but her mind keeps getting to Weevil's Great Moth, when her coat pocket glowed due to the Puzzle. "Is this another trick you knew, Yume?" Weevil asked, noticing the glow.

"What?" She checked her pocket, and instantly her mind was transported.

~Shadow Realm~

She opened her eyes and knew where she was. Shadow Realm again?! She thought. What's the situation now?

She looked around, and saw both Yugi and the Dark Magician Girl, her parents.

"Father!" she cried out. "Mother! What's happening this time?"

She knows so far that either of them could bring her mind to the Shadow Realm at the utmost importance.

"Yume," Dark Magician Girl started, "you're losing your train of thoughts again! Something is on your mind while you try to concentrate. I hope it's nothing bad, right?"

"Actually…" Yume started telling of her duel with Weevil and how she lost Exodia, the Forbidden One, and her current situation.

"Maybe," Yugi suggested, "maybe you need to worry about the Great Moth a bit, but still believe in the heart of the cards! You can do this, Yume. Remember what's going to happen if you lose!"

"I get it now!" Yume said as another bright flash lighted up!

~Duelist Kingdom, Weevil VS. Yume~

She opened her eyes to see her duel with Weevil on her turn when she drew her card. She played down a powerful monster. "Gaia, The Fierce Knight!"

A knight with two spears showed up on a horse and started charging at the cocoon, but the cocoon was too powerful!

"That Field Power Bonus," Joey cried out, "is way too strong for Gaia!"

"One turn down!" Weevil gloated. "Wanna try again?" And then he laughed, like it's some kind of joke.

That Cocoon of Evolution, Yume thought as her Life Points dropped to 750, is going to be tough to crack! But with each failing attempt, my Life Points are going down!

"Hang in there, Yume!" Her friends started cheering her on to crack the cocoon. "You still got time!"

"You hear that?" Weevil asked. "That's my larvae powering up with each wasted turn!"

I better, Yume thought, be fast on this, I won't lose just this duel because my only chance to save Solomon Muto is gone as well! As well as my Father's. And I can't let it happen!

Weevil drew his next turn. "Just four to go before my Great Moth shows up! And then you can stop worrying about destroying it, but worry about how it's going to destroy you, Yume!" He laughed again.

I better place defensive maneuver, she thought as she placed a monster in Defense, in case I failed at it!

"You are wasting your time, Yume! Nothing will save you when my Moth emerges!"

The next turn, Yume drew. I better turn this duel around and fast! She thought. Before that cocoon hatches! He thinks that nothing can beat it, but there is a way to pop it open! But what to do?

"Come on, Yume!"

"Yeah, win this for Yugi's grandpa! Others believe in you!"

Yume looked at her friends. "I know!" She said, but she wasn't too certain.

"Then keep fighting, Yume!" Joey argued. "Don't let this creep get the better of you! Now, stop this nonsense of doubt and get fired up!"

FIRE?! She thought surprisingly. That'll definitely work! And if it does, thank you, Joey! "Here we go, CURSE OF DRAGON! TAKE FLIGHT NOW!" A dragon showed up and screeched twice.

"And then I'll combine it with a Magic card and have it ATTACK WITH DRAGON FLAME!" The flames avoided the cocoon, but affected the field instead.

"What are you up to now?! You know that firefly is never powerful enough to destroy the cocoon!" But Yume just laughed. "Now what?" he demanded.

"Whoever said I was aiming for your cocoon, Weevil? No, I used the Burning Land Magic card on my Curse of Dragon to destroy your Forest all around your cocoon!"

"NO! But that means, no Field Power Bonus!"

"Precisely," Yume said. "Even though your cocoon was too tough to fight head on! But without the Bonus," she said as the Cocoon of Evolution lost DEF Points to 2000 again, "it's only a big target! Now one more time! Gaia, the Fierce Knight, ATTACK!"

The knight charged again, this time splattering it!

"Nice going, Yume!" "You popped it like a zit!" "You finished it off!" Her friends cheered on, but Weevil just chuckled.

"Is it over?" Téa asked.

"I think," Joey said uncertain, "we're going to find out!"

Everyone kept looking at the cocoon for anything that the Great Moth lived. But when an insect came out, everyone was shocked, except for Weevil smiling and Yume shocked the most, was a horrible surprise. The Great Moth lives!

"Maybe," Joey suggested, "the evolution was enough to survive the blast!"

Weevil chuckled. "I'm impressed," he said, "you were able to pierce it, Yume! But this time, you stopped the evolution too late of my ultimate insect! THE GREAT MOTH!"

"But," Yume countered, "it lasted only four turns! And you said five was needed!"

"So one turn early it was stopped!" he chuckled. "But he's still strong enough to beat you!"

I-I don't believe it! Yume thought. Once again, this duel is in his favor, but surrendering is not an option!

"Well, now, Yume! Feeling outclassed yet? Or maybe you're enjoying your first Major-League dueling lost!" Weevil just kept laughing, like he won the whole pot.

"Well, now," Yume started. "You seem to have your prized monster out, Weevil. But I can still find a way to squash it!"

"You'll still pay," he countered, "for a stinging jab with your Life Points!"

"DUEL!"

"Great Moth, TAKE FLIGHT!"

His Great Moth spread its wings and flew upwards, matching heights with Yume's Curse of Dragon! "So, now in the air, huh?"

And since, Weevil thought, her dragon is no match for my moth, and her land monsters can't attack my moth while it's flying! But what should I strike first on Yume's monsters?

"I'll start my attack on your knight for demolishing my cocoon!"

NO! Yume thought quickly. I can't lose him for my strategy! I have to think fast.

"It's time to crush your defenses with my Great Moth, destroy the knight, and blast your dragon from the sky!"

"That's enough Weevil! And I'm stopping it right now!" She played Polymerization before Weevil attacked.

"You can do nothing against it! Great Moth, HURRICANE ATTACK!" His moth brought a hurricane, which destroyed her Beaver Warrior, but sadly for him, he was in Defense Mode, so her Life Points were saved!

"Nothing at all," Weevil said, "can survive against the Gale-Force winds of my Moth Hurricane! So say goodbye to your knight!"

The ground field was covered by the hurricane. "That'll be a lesson to learn involving my cocoon!"

"Nice try, Weevil, but don't count on it!"

"Huh?"

"You were busy fawning over your moth, you didn't notice that I played the Magic card Polymerization!"

"Wait, WHAT?!"

"If I," Yume explained, "have two compatible monsters on the field, I can use Polymerization and fuse them to make an ultimate creature!"

"I'm not a beginner, Yume! And I know what Fusion does!"

"Then," she added, "you'll also know it'll increase the ATK Points of my monster! So, met Gaia, The Dragon Champion!" Gaia was on top of Curse of Dragons due to Polymerization. "And now," she added, "it's tied Point-for-Point with your Great Moth!"

But Weevil just laughed at that. "I wouldn't be so sure if I were you, Yume!"

"Huh?! NO!" She looked to see her monster constantly losing ATK Points. (100 per second.) "My knight's losing Attack Points and fast! But why?!"

"It's simple, Yume!" Weevil explained. "POISON! The particles from my Great Moth. Because after every attack from it, it releases tons of tiny poison particles from its body. And your Dragon/Knight combo is being poisoned! HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

I, she thought, have to protect it from the poison, but how? HOW? It's like there's no other way! Unless…She drew her card, then smiled.

"Get ready, Weevil!" She said. "Because I play the Magic card Makiu, the Magical Mist!" the whole field was getting rained on, including both monsters.

"MY POISON! Your washing it away!"

"Correct because Magical Mist washes the field CLEAN!"

"No fair! I was going to win so how does a little drizzle save you, Yume?"

Of course, she thought, I did save my knight, but there's a catch that Weevil will be surprised by!

"Okay, then!" Weevil said in frustration. "You may have stopped the Poison, but I promise you only have a brief reprieve! Because now, there's nothing you can think of to get you out of here! So get ready for my insect's Ultimate Attack! Great Moth, TORNADO OF DOOM!" The moth charged up, and released its power on Gaia, destroying it!

"One direct attack," Weevil said, "served up defeat-style! The rainstorm hasn't helped you, Yume! And now your knight is gone. And your Life Points," Weevil said while Yume's at 50, "are almost completely wiped out from existence!"

"Come on, Yume!" Joey encouraged. "You have a plan, so finish it!"

While Mai, Joey, Téa, and Tristan were arguing whether Yume has this or not, she kept grinning the whole time until they all noticed, even Weevil noticed her laughing hard.

"Wait a minute," Weevil said, confused. "What's so funny now, Yume? Stop it at once!"

"You'll take this very difficult on this Weevil. For a lost that is…"

"Especially," she added, "after spending so much time finding new ways to cheat! But if bending the rules would help you, you're wrong."

"I don't believe you because this is a trick!"

"You play dishonest, so you'd expect the same from your opponents! But I duel with honor, and that's the real difference."

"Nothing is what you have! So just give up!"

"No, but I do have SUMMONED SKULL!" A bone creature with dragon-like wings showed up. "And now, your Great Moth will never survive this attack!"

Is this, Weevil thought, finally the moment when Yume lost her mind. Her Summoned Skull is strong, but not strong enough against my Great Moth! When she attacks with him, she'll definitely lose this duel!

"Another thing, Weevil!" Yume added, catching him by surprise. "My Mystical Mist still has the field drenched!"

"No way!" Weevil gasped. "The whole field is still wet! So that means…" He looked at his Great Moth, finally noticing that it was soaked. "…my moth is completely soaked!"

"And my Skull," she added once again, "attacks with electricity! Making your Great Moth one, giant-sized LIGHTNING ROD! And I hope your ready for this, Weevil, because today's special involves FRIED INSECTS, because the water boosted the ATK Points of my Summoned Skull by an overwhelming 1000. Summoned Skull, LIGHTNING STRIKE!"

Her monster charged up, with 3500 ATK Points, and released lots of electricity on Weevil's Great Moth, finishing it off! "And now," she said slowly, "I've won this duel!"

"Impossible! My Great Moth should have been unbeatable! NO!" Weevil's Life Points hit zero when showed one last time!

When Yume looked at her friends, they cheered her on for taking out his Great Moth! After a few minutes, Yume gathered her star chips that Weevil bet on while Joey took his dueling glove!

"Three so far!" she said triumphantly. "Only seven to go before Pegasus time!"
