VampGirl: I know you're not calling ME a TT_TT
Nathifa paced about the room like an idiot, she had no idea if it was alright to leave Mahiru after Priestess Mert had just told her to stay, or go find Master Mahado and tell him about the new found item.
"Nathifa, if you don't want to leave me alone, I can come with you." Mahiru suggested
"No, I'm not sure it's such a good idea for you to be walking around the temple until Priestess Mert has informed Atem of you being here." Nathifa denied
"Atem?"
"Yes, the Pharaoh."
"The pharaoh's name is Atem, I never knew that…"
"I didn't expect you to; no one can call the Pharaoh by his first name in public."
"Are you close to the Pharaoh?" Mahiru asked the priestess.
"Yes, well I used to be." Nathifa sighed "Ever since he became Pharaoh, we can't really be as friendly as we used to be, almost everything is a sign of disrespect now, and I can't even say HI without bowing and saying MY DEAR PHARAOH"
"I know he's the pharaoh and all but that's stupid."
"It's not his fault Mahiru, he doesn't control what happens in the temple." Nathifa stood up
"Why not? Isn't he the Pharaoh?" She asked puzzled "He has the authority to do what he wants."
"I don't think it works like that." Nathifa sneered
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Current Time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone decided to split into groups after witnessing Nika's amazing power. They decided it would be have been better to look for opponents separated, and rejoin at the nightfall.
Mimi and Tea was a pair, Joey and Mai were also a pair, and Nika, Tristan and Yugi were a group.
~~~~~~~~~~With Nika~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nika and the two others were strolling through the forests, when all of a sudden, Nika has a face implant to the ground, and laughter echoed through her head. She leapt up, spitting dirt out in the process, and looked to see a nerdy looking boy.
"Stop laughing! Who are you anyways?" She cried
"We're the guys who are gonna get you kicked off the island." The first one said. He had short brown hair that fell flat on his head, he looked like a nerd, he wore gigantic round glasses, a sweater vest, and tacky pants. "My name's Astoria." The idiot smirked.
"Who does this guy think he is, just appearing out of no where and asking Nika for a duel?" asked Tristan
"Ummm, a duelist?" Astoria smirked
"What do you mean, kicked off the island, you want a duel, Astablabla?" She asked
"Astoria butt munch! And yes, I do want a duel, and you can't decline me!" He shouted
"Who said I even wanted to give up? LET'S DUEL!" She smiled, removing her deck from her skirt. Astoria did the same.
Nika's Point Of View
"Lemme guess, you control a deck of bugs, correct?" I teased, drawing my first card, which was Enchanting Mermaid, making all the cards in my hand: Mooyan curry, LaMoon, White Magician Pikeru, Negate attack and the card I just drew.
"Shut up, it doesn't matter what kind of deck I have, it only matters how strong my cards are!" He retorted
"Whatever, I play three cards face down." I said, setting the cards.
"Ha, is that all? I summon my Petite Moth in defense mode!" He declared, as a small green insect appeared on the field. "And, end my turn."
"And you were teasing me?" I asked, realizing his lame move, and drawing the card Hinotama "I flip my face down monster card, LaMoon, into attack position and summon my Enchanting Mermaid, now, LaMoon, attack that yucky caterpillar thing!"
At my command, using her magic, LaMoon cast a bright light and destroyed the moth, and straight after, I made my mermaid direct attack, making his life points 2800.
"Ah!" He cried in pain
"Wait, there's more, I activate the spell Hinotama!" I smiled "Your life points are now reduced by 500, making your points…umm…2300!"
He scowled as he lost even more life points, this was too easy.
"What ever it's my turn." He growled "I set this monster card face down, and also this card face down too, and end my turn!"
Be careful of that facedown card. I heard
"What was that?" I thought, looking around "Hey Astera, did you just say something?"
"What are you talking about, just play!" He replied, I hum fed and drew the Magician's Valkyria card.
"Nice." I said, summoning the monster. "Say hello to my beautiful Magician's Valkyria card!"
With that, I let my LaMoon attack the facedown card, only to be stopped by Yami.
"Nika wait!" He called "It may be a trap!"
But it was too late, I couldn't call back my monster, and the facedown flipped over to reveal itself to be Cocoon of Evolution.
"Oh no!" I cried as my LaMoon was over powered by the monster's defense.
"Heh heh, say goodbye to 800 life points!" Astoria smirked as I remained 3200 life points.
"Nika, hang in there, your life points are still higher than his!" Tristan encouraged I smiled and ended my turn.
"Haha, with this powerful creature as my defense, there is no way an amateur duelist such as you could ever draw something strong enough to beat me!" Astoria blindly said, I just smirked "I draw!"
I watched in anticipation as he set another face down card, "I hate facedowns…" I thought, annoyed
"Your move." He smirked
"My gosh, you do like to smirk don't you?" I asked, drawing the card, United We Stand. "Perfect."
Nice card, Nika I heard again
"Who's there!" I snapped, no reply "I'm going insane…"
"Nika focus!" I heard, it was Yami, he had returned
"Right! I summon, the monster White Magician Pikeru!" I smiled, "Her effect allows me to gain 400 life points for every monster on my side of the field, which gives me 4800!"
"Nice !" Tristan exclaimed
"But, that's not all, I also equip my Magician's Valkyria with the spell card, United We Stand, which gives her plus 800 attack and defense points for every face up monster I control, now my Magician has 4800 attack points and 5000 defense!" I boasted "What, speechless?"
"Ugh, you think you're so smart, I activate my trap, stumbling! This makes your Magician's Valkyria switch to defense position, making it unable to attack my Cocoon!"
So what? You just delayed the inevitable!
"That voice again!" I thought, "Again, who are you?"
"I flip summon my petit moth monster, and equip my Cocoon Of Evolution to it!" My opponent declared. "My moth now has 300 attack points and 2400 defense!"
"And?"
"And I activate my Swords of revealing lights card, now, your monsters can't attack for 3 entire turns!"
That's not a problem, let's go Nika!
"Gah, that voice is annoying…" I thought, drawing another card, Gemini Elf.
"Okay, I switch all of my monsters to defense mode and end my turn."
"I draw!" Stated Astoria "And I end my turn!"
"He's planning something Nika!" Yami warned
"Yes, I can see that!" I replied, drawing the card Book of secret arts "I end my turn…"
Nika! Draw some good cards for the love of Ra!
"IF IT WERE UP TO ME I WOULD!" I snapped, gaining the worried looks of Tristan, Yami and Astoria. "I end my turn…"
"Yes, I know, I also end my turn." He said
I scowled and drew another card, another Book of secret arts card… With no other choice I ended my turn, thankfully, on my next turn, I would get a chance to attack.
"Ha, you think its over right?" Astoria smirked "Well, I play another Swords of revealing lights card!"
"WHAT?" I exclaimed "Why would you play two of the same cards in a row, you must be stalling for something!"
"Maybe." He ended his turn.
"Gosh, if he keeps playing like this, the duel will NEVER end!" I thought, drawing yet another book of secret arts, the last copy in my deck…
I sighed and ended my turn
"I also end my turn."
"I end my turn." I said drawing the Dark hole card
"I play one face down, and I end my turn."
"I end my turn." I said, drawing the Dark magician card
DARK MAGICIAN! The voice exclaimed
"Ha! Now I can put my final strategy to action, after six turns have passed, I tribute my Petite Moth, to summon the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!" Astoria laughed.
"The what?" I asked
"OH NO, BE VERY VERY CAREFUL Nika!" Yami warned.(couldn't help the yugioh abridged reference)
"Why?" I asked, being greeted by a gigantic green moth, with battered wings and a horn in the middle of its head, but I wasn't afraid, it only had 3500/3000! My Magician's Valkyria could easily defeat it!
"And now that I have ensured my victory, I end my turn!" He boasted
"Ensured what victory? Magician's Valkyria! Attack that overgrown moth!" I commanded, the monster did as I said, but it was stopped by a dreaded trap card
"I ACTIVATE MIRROR FORCE!" my opponent declared
"Oh no!" I said, as my monsters were all destroyed one by one
"Ha well, I believe your turn is over, now I win!"
"Wait! I still have something up my sleeve! I set one card face down and end my turn!"
"Ha, that's all?" He laughed, "Well, now my monster, ATTACK HER LIFE POINTS DIRECTLY!"
The Moth stormed toward me with its arms or whatever they were high in the air
"DARK HOLE ACTIVATE!" I cried, activating my trap card Dark Hole, who's effect swallowed every monster on the field, aka his Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, leaving him defenseless.
"Now, I summon my Dark Magician, and equip him with these three books of secret arts making his attack points 3400! LET'S GO, DARK MAGIC ATTACK!" I commanded, my Magician obeyed and raised his staffed, sending a huge dark wave toward Astoria, and letting his life points drop to zero, earning me the victory.
"NO!" He cried, dropping on his knees, "I lost? To a girl?"
"Yup!" I smiled, deactivating my duel disk, and looking at my bracelet, the gem turned black. "Yay, guys look! My gem changed color!"
"Excellent job, Nika, you are a truly cunning duelist." Praised Yami, I smiled in return.
"YOU THERE!" everyone heard, we turned to see a tall man in a black suit. "You just lost a duel! You are off the island!"
"Wait, no!" Astoria pleaded "PLEASE, GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE!"
"Sorry kid, rules are rules!" he replied, grabbing the duelist and dragging him off.
"BYE ASTARIO!" I waved, as he was dragged away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Normal POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well then, good job on winning your first real Harts tournament duel Nika." Tristan praised, again. Normally, Nika would be loving all of the compliments, but she was too worried about that voice she had heard.
"That was very good, Nika, but…" Yami started
"But what?"
"But you kept shouting at absolutely no one…" Tristan finished
"Well that's because I've been hearing some kind of voice in my head and it just won't go away" Nika explained. Tristan and Yami pondered for a while but didn't say anything.
"Let's see if we can find Yugi a duel" She said and they started to walk away. But suddenly Nika stopped in her tracks causing Yugi and Tristan to worry.
"Nika? Nika, are you alright?" Yami's gruff voice called, but his words
fell on death ears
Nika found herself in a huge room, the room's walls looked as if they were gold and had old drawings and writings everywhere, within the walls were corridors, and corridors, and the only other person there was a girl with long black hair, wearing a gold and white dress, and a golden head necklace (don't know the name : P)
Nika couldn't help but jump as she caught sight of the girl.
"Umm, who are you?" She asked
"I'm the voice that kept on annoying you in your duel." The girl replied with a smile
"..."
"Oh, and my name is Nathifa!" She smiled again
"Oh, hi there, my name is Nika... What the frigg are you doing in my mind?"
"Actually I'm not in your mind" Nathifa explained "I'm thinking I am in that tome, maybe, and I can communicate with you."
"Oh" was Nika's response
"Nathifa, could you tell me what those strange drawings and writings are?" Nika asked pointing at the walls
"I don't really know, I think they're descriptions from my memories...or something."
"Your memories... memories of what?"
"Well, i don't remember everything, but the wall tells me, for example this picture of the Pharoah, this told me that i served the ancient Pharoah, but I don't remember him."
"I think I know who the Pharaoh was, he is a spirit that lives in a millenium item, just like you!" Nika declared, Nathifa smiled
"Also, this picture of a priest, who looks like the Dark Magician, this tells me something as well." Nathifa said "I remember being close to a man, named Mahado, he was a priest, so this must be him."
"Nice, he really does look like the dark magician..."
"And last, there's a picture of a girl, it triggered the memory of my old friend Mahiru." Nathifa explained "But, that's all, I can't remember the rest of it..."
"It's okay, you'll get there soon." Nika reassured
"Nika, let me warn you..." Nathifa said
"Huh?"
"I don't know what, but I'm sensing some bad omen on this island, be very careful..."
Nika nodded and for a while there was silence
Suddenly, another picture appeared on the wall
"Nathifa, did you remember something?" Nika asked
"Yes, I remember a bracelet, with the power to animate fears..." Nathifa shuddered at the word fear
They both peered at the picture, it looked like Mimi's bracelet, "What else?" Nika asked
"Don't look into the eye of the bracelet, that's all i remember..." Nathifa sighed, sitting on the floors of her giant room
"Well, you remembered a lot today, so I think you did great." Nika praised, Nathifa smiled and her room, along with herself disappeared and Nika found herself back with Tristan and Yugi.
"Nika? Are you alright?" Yami asked.
Nika shook her head and looked at Yami.
"Yeah I'm fine" she answered
"What happened to you?" Tristan asked
Nika pondered for a while as all what happened in her mind surface.
"I just found out that Mimi's bracelet is a millennium item but the power I can't seem to remember" she said.
"Maybe we should find them" Tristan suggested
"NO! We are going to find Yami a duel before nightfall" Nika declared and started to walk away. Both Yami and Tristan shrugged and followed her.
