I was now outside of Bakura's house, I knocked on his door. About three seconds later, I heard some footsteps and the door opened.
Bakura was wearing blue jeans, a white and blue short sleeved shirt and he was walking barefoot.
"Hazel? What are you doing here? Everybody's saying you've gone missing." Bakura exclaimed.
I grabbed the front of his shirt and dragged him out of his house, "Shut up and duel me!"
"What happened to you? You've never acted like this before." He commented.
"You can talk Bakura," I sneered, "or should I call you the spirit of the ring."
Bakura's expression changed almost immediately. Instead of his eyes being filled with care, they were filled with hate.
"What do you want? I sense an evil aura coming from you." Bakura snarled.
"You'll find out, after you duel me of course." I activated my Duel Disk.
"Fine then mortal, but once you lose which you will, you'll be sent to the shadows for all eternity." Bakura activated his own Duel Disk.
"Let's duel!"
Hazel: 4000
Bakura: 4000
"Watch out! I summon Etoile Cyber (1200 attack/1600 defense) in attack mode. I'll place one card face-down and it's your move." I finished.
Etoile Cyber did a pirouette before posing on the field. She had waist-length, thick light brown curly hair, blue skin, a red sash across her right eye, a red corset style dress; long white ribbons were wrapped around both of her wrists and trailed behind her. To finish, she had knee high red boots and a white skirt around her waist.
"Such a weak monster, I summon Headless knight (1450 attack/1700 defense) and now I'll attack your Etoile Cyber!" he commanded.
Headless Knight jumped up from under the ground, he wore cream and gold armour, carried a shield and sword in both hands. He obviously had no head; he ran towards Etoile Cyber and tried to slash her.
"I activate Doble Passé which lets your monster attack you directly and in turn, Etoile Cyber attacks directly and when that happens, she gains 600 extra attack points which means her new attack is 1800!" I explained.
Headless Knight slashed my chest, so Etoile Cyber danced over to Bakura and kicked his Duel Disk.
Hazel: 2550
Bakura: 2200
"I'll set two cards face-down to end my turn." Bakura finished.
"This card should leave a mark; I summon Cyber Gymnast (800 attack/1800 defense) in attack mode. By discarding one card, I can destroy one of your monsters." I smirked.
Cyber Gymnast wore a purple leotard with a white skirt at the waist. The leotard that exposed her muscular arms and dark skin. She had a long blonde ponytail and she wore a white mask with the face painted on. If you looked closely, you could see a pair of orange and white headphones covering her ears. Headless Knight disappeared, leaving Bakura wide open.
"Now Cyber Gymnast, attack directly!" I ordered.
Cyber Gymnast ran up to him, did a vault punching Bakura. Before my attack connected, a huge mouth with teeth covered the ground around me.
"Every time one of your monsters attacks, you lose 500 life-points because of my trap card, Fearful Earthbound." Bakura sneered.
The eyes that belonged to this mouth glowed red, before closing on my legs.
Hazel: 2050
Bakura: 1400
I can't attack Bakura directly for the win because I'm meant to be stealing his soul!
"I place this card face-down and end my turn." I growled.
"I activate Card of Sanctity so we both draw until we hold six, but I'm not doing this out of the goodness of my heart. My face-down card, Multiple Destruction can only activate if we hold more than three cards. We both discard our entire hands and draw five cards. But for every card we discarded, we both lose 100 life-points per card." He explained.
Bakura was always a little crazy because we both lost 600 life-points.
Hazel: 1450
Bakura: 800
"Now I summon The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams (1300 attack/1800 defense) in attack mode. I think I'll attack your Cyber Gymnast!" he yelled.
A man who was sleeping on a bed appeared, suddenly a cloud of green appeared which turned into a monster with long purple hair. He wielded a shield and sword which he used to attack my monster.
Hazel: 950
Bakura: 800
"That's my turn over and I finish with three face-downs." He sighed.
What is wrong with me? Why haven't I drawn The Seal of Orichalcos yet? I'm usually a much better drawer than this. I drew my next card and I could feel power flowing through my arm. I started to laugh maniacally, "This is the start of your demise! I activate The Seal of Orichalcos!"
I placed it in my field spell zone and green light enveloped my Duel Disk before me. The seal grew bigger and surrounded the entire playing field. I felt anger, power and unstoppable. Even Bakura of all people looked freaked out.
"What is the meaning of this? This magic is unlike anything I've ever felt." Bakura snarled.
"Put a sock in it, this magic overwhelms your stupid shadow magic. And if you lose, than you'll lose your soul and it will go to much greater cause. For added fun, every monster on the field is real. All my monsters gain 500 extra attack points, so Etoile Cyber is now 1700. I activate Harpie's Feather Duster to destroy all of your spell and trap cards. Now I activate Monster Reborn to revive my Cyber Gymnast (1300 attack/1800 defense), now Etoile Cyber will attack your monster and Cyber Gymnast will direct attack you!"
Both my monsters had the seal of the middle of their foreheads. Etoile Cyber kicked her leg up and destroyed Bakura's monster, Cyber Gymnast now vaulted, ran up to Bakura and punched him in gut.
Hazel: 950
Bakura: 0
Bakura fell to the ground while some blood trickled from his forehead, "You have to give me that card."
The seal started to grow smaller before surrounding Bakura, "Actually it's time for you to pay your debt to society by giving up your soul. Now buh-bye."
Bakura screamed as a green light shot up into the sky, leaving his body comatose and a card right next to him. I took the card of Bakura's soul as proof that I had done the deed.
I knew that Bakura would be easy to beat, but that was just ridiculous. I noticed that the door to his house was slightly open. I better drag him inside so that nobody would realise that he was soulless. I dumped him on the sofa and took off his Duel Disk off his arm and put it in his room, I also found a First-Aid Kit in the bathroom cabinet. I took it out and started to clean and bandage Bakura's wound. It trickled down the side of his face and onto his clothes.
I wonder where Kisara is. I checked her bedroom and the entire house. Nothing. I forgot to mention, Kisara lives with Bakura because she's a transfer student from England and she's only here for one year. I remember the time when I first dueled her…
Flashback
It was during the Battle City tournament, even though Kisara wasn't participating in the tournament, she still had a Duel Disk. I had seen Kisara around school, all timid and only talking to her cousin, Bakura.
I had already won all my locater cards and I was meant to be meeting up with Mai in an hour, so I had some time to burn. Kisara was in a café, sorting out her cards on the table and I also noticed she had a Duel Disk on her arm. What the hey? I walked up to Kisara with a grin on my face.
"Hey Kisara, is this seat taken?" I asked, leaning on a chair while smiling at her.
She immediately turned to face with, a blush decorating her cheeks.
"N-n-n-no." she stuttered.
I pulled the chair out, sat on it and looked at what Kisara was doing. She was touching all of her cards and moving them around.
"So you're a duelist?" I asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Y-y-yeah, b-but I-I'm not v-v-very g-good." she answered.
I knew Kisara was shy, but I didn't know she was that shy.
"I'm sure you're a really good duelist, in fact may I have the honour of dueling you?" I asked.
"S-sure." her eyes brightened so I could tell I made a good move.
We prepared our decks, walked to the middle of the square and activated our Duel Disks.
"Let's duel!"
Kisara: 4000
Hazel: 4000
"If you don't mind, could I go first?" Kisara asked.
"Go ahead." I smiled.
"I activate the field spell, Amazoness Village. I summon Amazoness Fighter (1500 attack/1300 defense) in attack mode. Amazoness Village raises her attack by 200, making her new attack, 1700. I end my turn." Kisara finished with a bright look in her blue eyes.
They looked like two pieces of sapphire. Kisara wasn't stuttering anymore, I wonder why? She uses an Amazoness deck, which is based on the Amazon's. The Amazon's were an all-woman tribe of warriors, who believed that all men were inferior. A deck is a reflection of a duelist's soul, this deck could represent that even though she appears timid on the outside, she has the heart of a warrior on the inside.
Amazoness Fighter had tanned skin, long black hair in a ponytail, a muscular body and a rugged green bra top matching her rugged green shorts. She had a determined look on her face and started to throw a few punches in my direction. Amazoness Village made the entire field look like a jungle, it had several large, brown huts and some chickens were running around.
Mai had a few Amazoness monsters in her deck and Amazoness fighter is one of them, even if I destroy her monster, Fighter's effect causes her not to lose any battle damage. Unluckily for Kisara, I know my way around this.
"Good opening move but watch out! I summon Cyber Tutu (1000 attack/800 defense) and if she is the weakest monster on the field, then she can attack you directly." I explained.
Cyber Tutu arrived in a flurry of wind. She had shoulder length light pink hair, grey headphones covering her ears, a red and green bodysuit, a light blue tutu and pink ballet shoes with the ribbons trailing behind her.
"Now I'll equip her with Angel Wing. Cyber Tutu, attack Kisara's life-points directly with Pounding Pirouette!" I commanded.
Cyber Tutu grew a pair of big white wings on her back, she jumped up and flew all the way over to Kisara before kicking her Duel Disk.
Kisara: 2700
Hazel: 4000
"Thanks to Angel Wing's effect, you lose an additional 300 life-points." I smiled.
"Nice move Hazel." Kisara commented.
"Thank you, to finish my turn I'll play two cards face-down." I concluded.
"I activate Cost Down which reduces the level six, Amazoness Queen (2400 attack/1800 defense) in my hand by two stars which means she is currently level four. This means I can normal summon her in attack mode without a tribute, Amazoness Village increases her attack by 200, making her new attack 2600." She explained.
Amazoness Queen was sitting on a throne; she had long blue hair, tanned skin, a black eye patch with a skull over her right eye, a blue and yellow dress with animal teeth and a huge spiked sword in her right hand.
I've never seen this monster before; it was smart of Kisara to use Cost Down to summon her high level monster without a tribute. I think I'm in love with her dueling skills; she is going to be a worthy opponent.
"Now Fighter, attack Cyber Tutu!" she ordered.
Fighter ran towards Cyber Tutu, but before she could lay even one finger on her, I activated my face-down.
"I activate Gravity Bind, now all monsters' who are level four and higher can't attack." I grinned.
"Smart move but this also affects all of your monsters." She remarked.
"I'm aware of that." I replied.
"I'll set this card face-down and it's your move." She sighed.
"I summon Cyber Gymnast (800 attack/1800 defense) in defense mode. Now I activate my face-down Allegro Toile, since I normal summoned a monster, I can destroy any magic or trap card on the field and I choose your face-down card." I smirked.
Cyber Tutu started to spin around and her shoes started to sparkle a pink colour. She twirled before kicking her leg out, which caused a knife with wings to fly out and stabbed the face-down.
"I activate Gymnast's effect, by discarding one card, I can destroy any monster on the field in attack mode and I choose your queen!" I pointed at her queen but as her queen digitised, a new one appeared in her place.
"If any Amazoness monster is destroyed by battle or a card effect, I can special summon an Amazoness monster from my deck but it has to be lower of equal to the level of the destroyed monster, and who better than a second queen." Kisara laughed joyfully.
"I'll give you props for that but since Cyber Tutu is a level three, Gravity Bind doesn't affect her. Cyber Tutu attack directly with Pounding Pirouette."
Cyber Gymnast wore a purple leotard with a white skirt at the waist. The leotard that exposed her muscular arms and dark skin. She had a long blonde ponytail and she wore a white mask with the face painted on. If you looked closely, you could see a pair of orange and white headphones covering her ears. Her arms were crossed across her torso. Cyber Tutu flew over to Kisara, twirled and kicked her again.
Kisara: 1400
Hazel: 4000
"Now I'm ending my turn." I finished.
"Sorry about this but now the tide of this duel is about to change. I activate Pot Of Greed which allows me to draw two cards, now I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Gravity Bind. Now I summon Amazoness Tiger (1100 attack/1500 defense) in attack mode. Now for every Amazoness on the field, my tiger gains 400 attack points. I count three Amazoness monsters so Tiger's attack increases by 1200, so his new attack is 2300. Plus my field spell will increase his attack by 200, which means his attack is now 2500. Now my tiger will attack Cyber Tutu." Kisara pointed at my monster.
Amazoness Tiger was one of the most terrifying creatures I've ever seen; it was like the Harpie's Pet Dragon of the Amazoness archetype, except it was easier to summon because it required no tributes. It looked like an ordinary tiger, except it had a huge scar over its right eye, a gold collar, gold shackles; a menacing look in its eyes and it wouldn't stop growling. You could see how happy it was to pounce on Cyber Tutu and eat her.
Kisara: 1400
Hazel: 2500
"When Angel Wing is destroyed, I can draw a card." I informed her.
"Now my queen will attack your gymnast and fighter will directly attack you!" she yelled.
Her queen got off her throne and ran to Cyber Gymnast before jumping up and slashing her in half. Before her fighter could touch me, her fist met a red sheep token instead and destroyed it.
"I activate Scapegoat which summons four lamb tokens." I pointed at my spell card which used to be face-down.
"Nice defense, I'll set this card face-down to finish my turn up." She finished.
"I activate Card of Sanctity so we both draw until we hold six cards. Now I activate Machine Angel Ritual and sacrifice my three level one sheep tokens and the level five Beautiful Beast Trainer in my hand. Three add five equals eight so I summon my level eight, Cyber Angel Dakini (2700 attack/2400 defense) in attack mode. Now attack that Amazoness Tiger with Angel Slash Fury!" I shouted.
Cyber Angel Dakini had blue skin, long brown hair which was covered by a gold head guard, orange armoured top, black and yellow trousers and she had four arms. In her two upper arms were swords but her lower two arms were holding a blue staff. She jumped up, landed on top of the tiger and slashed through him. Yet it wasn't destroyed, angry yes but destroyed, no.
Kisara: 1200
Hazel: 2500
"As long as my queen is on the field, you can't destroy any Amazoness monsters by battle and as long as my tiger is on the field, you can't attack a different Amazoness monster." She explained.
Oh my gosh! That's one of the best combo's I've ever seen, I'm officially in a rut. If she summons another Amazoness monster, her tiger will be able to tear me apart!
"I'll set this card face-down and it's your move Kisara." I stated.
"Sorry about this, I activate Amazoness Spellcaster which switches my tiger's original attack with your Dakini's." She smiled.
Wait, original attack! Her tigers original attack points is 1100!
"Now my 2700 tiger will attack your 1100 Cyber Angel!" she commanded.
Her tiger jumped on top of my Cyber Angel and started to eat her.
Kisara: 1200
Hazel: 900
"Since I'm ending my turn, my tiger becomes 2500 since it gains its enhancements." She winked at me.
Please my deck, guide me.
"I activate Graceful Charity which lets me draw three cards as long as I discard two. Now I summon D.D. Assailant (1700 attack/1600 defense) and I'll set it in defense mode. That's it for now."
D.D. Assailant wore full body silver armour, had a red cloth which covered her mouth, had short blonde hair and carried a big sword.
"I summon Amazoness Archer..." I interrupted her.
"I activate Forced Back which forces back your monster and returns it to your hand." I smiled at the play on words that I had just made.
"Then my tiger attacks your D.D. Assailant!" she yelled.
As soon as her monster had clawed my monster, they both disappeared. Kisara's mouth dropped open in surprise.
"Surprised? Any monster that destroys D.D. Assailant gets removed from play. Sure it's not a Cyber Girl, but she is a female warrior and that's good enough for me. Plus her effect comes in very handy, don't you think?" I asked.
"I have to say that was a brilliant move but you've left yourself wide open for me to attack." she commented.
"Attack me if you dare." I retorted.
"All right I will, Fighter attack her life-points directly!"
"I activate Negate Attack which negates your attack and ends the battle phase." I sighed.
"Well you have one duel to turn this duel around, or else my monsters will destroy you!" Kisara laughed.
I would like to thank Aqua Girl 007 and Mandolina Lightrobber for reviewing this story and helping me with some problems. I only sped up this story because I need to get it finished ASAP as I have two other Yu-Gi-Oh! series stories I need to finish in July as well as starting the sequel for this story and my GX story cause once September starts, I won't be able to update until next May or June T_T. But in August, I will possibly rewrite this by adding filler chapters. Anyway I've decided to slow down this story by leaving you with a cliffy, who knows who really won this duel. I used the Yu-Gi-Oh! version of Cost Down. Also this story has 10 followers and 10 people who put it as their favourite story but I've only gotten two reviews for the last two chapters that kinda hurts cause don't forget:
REVIEWS ARE LIKE PORN TO WRITERS SO PLEASE SATISFY OUR URGES!
Anybody who reviews will, get as my senile history teacher says 'a magic bag' aka crisps. I'll hopefully update tomorrow.
