Ok, here's the first duel of the tournament, the big girls of GX and 5D's, Akiza Izinski and Alexis Rhodes. And I just want to reiterate that if anyone has any duel requests, I'll work them in. I'll even try to work in some multiple opponent duels, though no turbo duels please, even if it's 5D's characters dueling each other.

I don't own anything.

Duel 1: Akiza Izinski vs Alexis Rhodes in the Witch's Cabin

Akiza walked through the grounds of the Haunted Mansion until she found herself in front of the building called The Witch's Cabin. It was a small, seemingly run down cabin. She walked in and found several dusty empty vials on shelves, a broom stick in the corner, and a cauldron sitting over the fireplace.

Looks like that Skelington guy didn't spare any expense on authenticity. Akiza thought.

"Well, guess I'm not the only one who decided to come to this place." Said a voice behind Akiza, she spun around to see a girl dressed in a rather revealing red outfit. "Nice outfit, which card are you supposed to be?"

"The Witch of the Black Rose," Akiza said. "What about you?"

"Elemental Hero Burstinatrix," the girl said proudly. "She's one of my best friend's signature cards."

"Nice," Akiza said. "Well Burstinatrix, you ready to duel?"

"Bring it on Black Rose." Burstinatrix said. Akiza flinched at being called that.

"Could you not call me that, it brings back some bad memories." She said. "My name's Akiza, Akiza Izinski."

"Sure, nice to meet you Akiza." Bursinitrix said activating her duel disk. "My name's Alexis Rhodes."

"Nice to meet you too Alexis," Akiza said, powering up her own duel disk. "Now let's do this!"

"Duel!" the shouted in unison, their life point counters going to 4000.

"I'll go first." Akiza said, drawing a card from her deck. She frowned as she looked at her hand: no monsters, just a handful of spells and traps. Not the best hand, but not completely useless. "I lay one card face down, and play the Black Garden field spell!" As one card appeared face down, black vines started springing up around her and Alexis, covering the room with dark vines giving the place an even creepier look. "Now any monster that's summoned will have its attack points halved and a rose token will appear on its opponent's field."

"Wow, nice move." Alexis said. "But you still don't have any monsters to defend yourself with. My move," she drew a card from her deck and smiled to herself. All right, I just drew Mystical Space Typhoon, the question is, what do I use it on? Alexis thought to herself. If I use it on her field spell, it wouldn't half my monster's attack points or give her any defense, on the other hand I could use it on her face down card. It's got to be a trap since she didn't have any monsters. Better to take out what I know. "I play Mystical Space Typhoon and use it to blow away your Black Garden."

A black hole appeared above them and sucked the vines up into it. "And now I summon Blade Skater (ATK/1400, DEF/1500) in attack mode." She threw her card onto her duel disk and summoned the monster. "And I'll use here to attack you directly! Go, Whirlwind Slasher!" Blade Skater charged forward to attack Akiza.

"I activate my Ground Capture trap card!" Akiza shouted, flipping over her facedown card. "This halves the damage I would have taken. (Blade Skater ATK/700) Akiza winced as she felt Blade Skater's attack connect (Akiza LP: 3300). "And since the damage I took was 500 or more, I get to draw one card from my deck." Alexis nodded.

"I place 2 cards facedown and end my turn." She said.

"Then it's my turn." Akiza said drawing. She gritted her teeth; she still couldn't summon any monsters. "I place one card facedown and end my turn." Alexis narrowed her eyes at her opponent's tactics.

She didn't summon a monster again, could it be that she doesn't have any monster she can summon or is it that she's trying to bate me into attacking her and springing a trap? She looked at her hand. Even if she does though, I've got the cards in my hand to really weaken her. "I summon Etoile Cyber (ATK/1200, DEF/1600) in attack mode. And I'll use her and Blade Skater to attack you directly and when Etoile Cyber attacks directly, she gains another 500 attack points (Etoile Cyber ATK 1700)." Akiza groaned as she got both monsters (Akiza LP: 400).

Darn it, I can't seem to catch a break, if I can't summon a monster on this next turn, I'm finished. Akiza thought and took a deep breath. She drew a card and gave a small smile as she looked at the card. Well, it's not the best card, but it might be able to give me some defense.

"I'll place one card face down in defense mode and end my turn." Akiza said.

"Time for the final move," Alexis said confidently, drawing another card. "I use attack your facedown monster with Blade Skater and activate my face trap card: Meteorain!"

"Oh no," Akiza gasped.

"Oh no is right," Alexis said. "Because now if your monster's defense points are lower than Blade Skater's attack points, the difference is gonna come out of your Life Points. Blade Skater, Whirlwind Slasher!" Blade Skater attacked Akiza's face down monster: Glow-Up Bulb (ATK/100, DEF/100). Blade Skater hit the monster, and nailed Akiza with 1300 points (Akiza LP:0).

"No, I lost," Akiza said, dropping her head in shame.

"Hey, it's ok; you just had some bad luck this time around." Alexis said, walking forward and holding out her hand. "It'll probably be different next time." Akiza smiled and shook Alexis's hand.

"Thanks, we'll have to have a rematch sometime." Akiza said.

Tournament Standings: Alexis: 1 Pumpkin Charm, Everyone else: 0.

Ok, because I know I'm gonna get grief because Akiza got beat so badly I'll explain how I pick out cards: I went through and picked out cards used by the respective duelists off of Yu-Gi-Oh wiki and put them in alphabetical order. After that I use a random number generator to pick out cards, sort of my way of shuffling the decks. And in this duel, Akiza just got a bad first few draws sort of like how a person could draw a bad hand in real life.

If you want to see her duel again, fell free to ask and I'll try to work in another duel with her.
