Me: Ok first of all I like to say that I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry that this is chapter is late. I've been trying to find some inspiration, but no luck plus I've had ideas for different stories running through my head that's it's not funny. Well then onto the next point of business. I like to say thanks for reading and reviewing the story 'The Spellcaster Duelist Season 1!' everyone. Well anyways now for the last part. Allow me to once again introduce my friend *gestured to my right.* Shadow Realm Triforce.
Shadow Realm Triforce: Hi, hi everyone. *turns to me* Let me do the disclaimer again YGO Fan Girl?
Me: Alright go ahead.
Shadow Realm Triforce: YEAH! Well to begin with YGO Fan Girl owns the characters Jenifer "Jenny" Yuki and Jamie Anderson while yours truly owns Yoru Mutou, but we do not own YUGIOH! cause if we did then Téa/Anzu would leave Yami and Yugi alone, not talk about friendship 24/7 of everyday, and/or she just wouldn't exist period.
Me: Cause we hate Téa/Anzu with a passion.
Shadow Realm Triforce: Well remember to...
Both: Read and Review! Bye-bye!
...My Line...
Clearing!
"What a nightmare," Tristan stated, "I just dreamt that Bakura went totally mental."
"Same here," Joey agreed, "last time I snooze with dueling cards under my pillow."
"Sleep well guys?" Bakura asked as he bend down in front of the two boys.
"Let's see," Téa said as she pretended to think. "I dreamt that Yugi has us all dressed up as Duel Monsters cards and you've gone nuts." Yugi sweat dropped and Bakura along with Jenny laughed nervously not knowing what to say. "So no."
Their heads shot up when they heard some one scream and Jenny shared a look with Yoru.
"That voice," Joey said as they all looked off to where it came from. "sounded like Mai! Come on!"
They all took off running towards the scream.
Dueling Clearing!
"Mai!" Jenny called out as she and the others ran forward.
"Are you ok?" Yugi asked when they finally noticed her.
"Your to late," Mai told them when they came to a stop.
"To late for what?" Téa asked.
"This side show freak giving you a hard time?" Joey asked when they finally noticed the man.
"That's right just like Pegasus pays me to do," the man answered, "route out all of the dueling filth on the island and dispose of it."
"Doesn't that make you a garbage man?" Tristan asked.
"This is no joke," Mai answered, "Panik's one of the island's eliminators. And if you don't get out of here he's going to do to you what he did to me."
"Eliminator?" Yugi asked, "what's that Mai?"
"Look," Panik said as he grabbed Mai's wrist, "this is what she means right here." Jenny and the others let out a gasp when they saw that the glove was completely empty of Star Chips. "Check out her duelist's glove. Not a Star Chip Left."
"But that would mean she's been disqualified," Téa pointed out.
'No duh,' Jenny thought as she rolled her eyes.
'Thank you captain obvious,' Yoru thought as she glared at the short brown haired girl.
"Your out Mai?" Yugi asked.
Yoru and Jenny looked at each other before they shook their heads.
"I am," Mai answered sadly, "it all happened so fast. The way Panik duels. I just, I lost it."
"This isn't right," Téa said.
"Ha," Panik laughed, "she was one of my easiest victims yet."
Yoru and Jenny growled when Panik pushed Mai towards them.
"You creepy!" Joey growled as he moved, but Tristan and Bakura grabbed him. "Move it. There's no excuse for pushing a girl."
"Calm down Joey," Bakura told him, "I know how you feel, but that guy is more then twice your size."
"I can take him," Joey stated.
"No Joey," Jenny said as she walked forward, "fists aren't the answers. Violence won't solve anything. I've dealt with a lot of bullies when I started dueling and I'm afraid there's only one way to deal with them."
"What do you mean Jenny?" Joey asked.
"You have to stand to them," Jenny growled as she glared at Panik.
"But Jenny..." Mai tried to say.
"Now, let's see you try your intimidation tactics against me, Panik," Jenny challenged, "I don't scare so easily especially when I'm standing up for friends. Let's Duel!"
"You twerp," Panik growled before he grabbed Mai again, "I'll eliminate you from the tournament just like I did to her. Tell her how I trounced you."
"Please Jenny?" Mai bagged.
"Let her go Panik!" Jenny ordered as Panik released Mai, "if you're looking to bully some one try bullying me." Jenny pointed at him. "Playtime is now over Panik. Get Your Game On!"
Both Jenny and Panik got into place facing each other. Yugi looked at Jenny worried that she was in over her head, but he did notice the calm glare in her chocolate brown eyes.
"Alright Jenny!" Joey called up, "no problem! Show Panik, how we deal with thugs like him!"
"Jenny, huh?" Panik asked making Jenny looked at him with a scary calm glare. "Must be my lucky day." Jenny went from glaring to blinking in surprise. "Pegasus offered a generous bounty to the eliminator who defeats you and a brat named Yugi Mutou." Jenny let out a growl under her breath, but Yugi and the others heard it. "I wonder; think Pegasus would throw in some extra cash for inflicting bodily harm? Not that I'd do it for free."
"You'd better start thinking of other ways of making money Panik because after I get done with you not only will you be out some star chips, but you'll be out of a job," Jenny told him with a calm tone that had a hint of anger.
"Whoever said I was an eliminator just for the money Jenny?" Panik asked, "I've made enough cash to have retired long ago, but I won't quit because there's no better thrill then breaking weak duelists like you." Jenny felt her eyes twitch a bit, but kept a calm glare on her face. "So get ready Jenny cause I'm about to take you into a world of hurt."
"I won't be bullied by the likes of you, Panik," Jenny flat out told him, "I play with my heart that's why I'll always win against your types."
"You've never faced my type before," Panik stated her, "when I'm in a match with same one there's a lot more to it then sheer dueling strategy."
"Meaning?" Jenny asked.
"Panik's ruthless Jenny!" Mai called up to her, "he had me totally terrified."
"That's right," Panik agreed, "and she's not the first either. We eliminators have built our careers on stalking weak players like her and strong arming them into dueling us. You see when you're as good as I am, you'll learn to appreciate the hunt just as much as the duel itself. And I'm gonna take you down just like I did Mai."
"I see how you work Panik," Jenny told him as she smirked at him, "sneaking up on unsuspecting duelists because you haven't the courage to challenge them face to face."
"Watch your mouth you insolent cur!" Panik yelled at her.
"True duelist fight with honor and respect!" Jenny told him as she glared, "not the underhand tactics of a poacher." Jenny then raised her hand that had her duelists glove. "And to prove it, I'll wager all the Star Chips, I have to win back Mai's."
"It's a deal," Panik agreed as he held up his own hand. "If you win, I'll give you all 8 of her Star Chips. The bet makes no difference to me."
"What do you mean?" Jenny asked confused.
"What I mean little Jenny is that when you duel against Panik, you're putting much more than measly Star Chips on the line. Much more."
Just then Jenny felt something clamp around her ankles and when she looked down she saw shackles coming from the side of the platform that she was standing on. Jenny then had to dodge a column of fire that came at her from the right before she had to turn to the side as another column of fire came at her from the left this time making her glare at Panik as he laughed.
"J.J!" Yoru yelled in horror.
"We have to get her out of there," Joey told them.
"What's the matter Jenny?" Panik asked as she continued to glare at him, "can't take the heat? Well, get used to it because your strapped in for the long hall."
"Turn it off Panik!" Joey ordered.
"Panik used those on me, too," Mai told them.
"Stay strong Jenny," Bakura mumbled.
"I can see the growing fear in your eyes Jenny," Panik told her once he turned off the fire shooters. "I can hear you quaking in your boots."
'Boots?' Yoru and Jenny thought with a sweat drop each, 'wtf?'
"Your beginning to realize the nightmare you've stepped into," Panik went on, 'I do believe that you're beginning to panic."
"Get a life you psycho!" Téa yelled at Panik before looking back at Jenny.
"For now I agree with the Pink Princess," Yoru said making Jenny to smirk and Téa to glare at her.
"Forget this guys Jenny," Joey told her ignoring the two girls, "this wasn't part of the job description."
"Yeah no joke," Tristan agreed, "come on let's you down from there Jenny. What do you say?"
"Are you finished blowing smoke Panik?" Jenny asked.
"Jenny," Yoru and Yugi both said in shock.
"What does she think she's doing?" Joey asked.
"It'll take a lot more then cheap pyrotechnics to make me loose my cool," Jenny told Panik.
"The last time some one had the nerve to talk to me like that, I broke them in half," Panik told her after he laughed, "now let's duel."
Jenny: 2000
Panik: 2000
"Fight time," Joey told them.
'Jenny's good, but she's never faced an eliminator before,' Mai thought, 'once Panik get's inside her head it's all over.'
"Seeing as how the blaze of my fire didn't faze you then let's turn down the lights," Panik told her, "my Castle of Dark Illusions will turn this duel into your darkest hour Jenny. It's magic shrouds the field with a veil of shadows and the castle itself is extra fortified thanks to the field power bonus I get for playing it at Night."
Jenny growled under her breath as shadows covered Panik's side of the field before she looked down at her screen to see that it was black so therefor she couldn't see his monsters. She looked back up at him with an ice chilling glare.
"I'm not afraid of the dark Panik," she stated.
"You would be if you only knew the fearsome nightmares within it's shades," Panik tried to scare her, "the blanket of shadows cast over my side of the field making it impossible for you to see the creatures I summon, but leaves your inter side exposed, vulnerable to my Atks. Unnerving isn't it Jenny? How the darkness prays on your fears, on your mind. Until you're to scared to think, to terrified to fight."
"Don't listen to him Jenny!" Mai called up to her, "this is exactly how he throw me off my game!"
"Now you tell us," Joe mumbled.
"And if you think you can storm my castle with the help of a field power bonus of your own then think again because just as my shadows block the light from above it blocks the field power bonus from the ground below," Panik told Jenny who felt the need to roll her eyes, "only the night grants bonuses here."
'Without any idea of what's waiting for me in those shadows, I can't risk an Atk,' Jenny thought as she looked at her hand, 'I'll have to play it safe for now.' Jenny picked a card from her hand. "Despire Magician, def mode!"
A young boy with black hair and red eyes wearing a depressed expression on his face and also was wearing a black/red magician robes while carrying a matching staff appeared on one knee with his arms crossed over his chest in front of Jenny. (Def 1300)
"Not a very bright idea," Panik stated as he played a monster.
'I can't see what monster he'd played,' Jenny thought with a hint of panic.
"Atk!" Panik ordered, "Dark. Grasp. Of. Fury."
Jenny watched as the shadows swallowed her Despire Magician and destroyed him.
"J.J," Yoru mumbled.
"That's cheap," Joey growled, "how can you defend yourself against what you can't see?"
"Yeah," Bakura agreed with a nod, "or defeat a monster you can't find."
"This isn't looking good," Yugi added.
"Anybody got a flash light," Tristan tried to joke.
"Even your friends have lost hope for you," Panik told her with a laugh.
'I need to get his monsters out of the shadows, but the only way I can do that is by destroying his Castle of Dark Illusion and with it's defensive points set at 2500,' Jenny thought, 'I only have one card in my deck that can match it, but not destroy it. Boy, I'm beginning to understand why they call him, Panik. The game's just started and I'm already flustered.'
"Play any monster card you like," Panik stated, "the creatures within my veil will consume them all."
"Fire Magician in def mode," Jenny said as she placed the card on the field.
A young girl with long wavy waist length fiery blond mid-back length hair and fiery orange colored eyes wearing a fiery red gypsy top, fiery red mini skirt accessorizes with a fire shape buckle belt, fiery red magician's hat, a fire shape pendent hanging around her neck on a golden chain, and a fiery red calf length high heel boots and in her hand was a mix of fiery yellow, orange, and red wand staff appeared onto the field on one knee with her arms crossed over her chest. (Atk 1100)
"This defensive maneuvering is keeping your life points safe from one monster Jenny, but not two," Panik told her as he placed another card on the field.
'I hate to admit it, but he's right,' Jenny thought, 'defending alone won't win this duel for me.'
"You're terrified aren't you, Jenny?" Panik asked, "all your courage has been devoured by my shadowy fog. All that's left is a trembling little duelist powerless to defend herself."
"So how's Jenny able to take this guy out Mai?" Yoru asked as she looked at the blond.
"If I was able to figure that out we wouldn't be in this situation," Mai answered.
Yoru turned back to the duel with a worried look.
'There's got to be a way to neutralize Panik's veil of shadows, but it's generated by his Castle of Dark Illusions and that things virtually impregnable,' Jenny thought, 'Wait a minute, I may not be able to atk Panik's castle, but what if I atk the darkness itself?' "Fire Magician rise!" Jenny's spellcaster stood up glaring into the shadows as raised her wand staff and drew a circle of fire that soon turned small and was at the end of her wand. "Flare Blast Magic!" The Fire Magician thrust her wand staff out and the fire at the end shot at the shadows creating for Jenny to catch a glimpse of the monsters for a second. "His monsters."
The shadows once again covered Panik's side of the field.
"So you saw my creatures, but I doubt it gives you the foresight to see what's coming next," Panik told her, "Dark Grasp of Fury!" The shadows covered Jenny's spellcaster destroying it. "Lights out for your Fire Magician."
Jenny: 1706
"My creatures hungry eyes are on your remaining life points Jenny and I'll see to it that they'll feed again quite soon," Panik informed her, "has it sunk in yet wimp? Standing up to bullies leaves you no where, but down."
'Down is right,' Jenny thought as she glared into the shadows. 'my life points are way down while Panik's haven't even been touched. His shadows have destroyed two of my best monsters while I can't see what I'm up against. He's got me out-maneuvered and over powered, but I'm still going to find a way to put that big bully in his place.'
"The night has eyes Jenny," Panik taunted, "and all of them are on you."
'As long as Panik's Castle of Dark Illusions shrouds his side of the field in that shadow it's impossible for me to see any of his monsters, but panicking about it will only make things worse,' Jenny thought, 'so I gotta do my best to not let him see me sweat.'
"Keep struggling Jenny cause bullying's so much more fun when you resist," Panik stated.
"Touch talk Panik coming from someone who makes all their Atks from the safety of the shadows," Jenny inputted.
"Jenny look out!" Yoru yelled up at her as the Spellcaster Duelist leaned back as a column of fire was shot at her.
"Perhaps you should think twice before you insult some one who can scorch you with the push of a button," Panik told Jenny when the fire stopped, "you're afraid Jenny, you're lost and alone in the dark and I'm the big bad bogeyman about to leap out and give you the scare of your life." Just then Jenny started laughing much to Panik's surprise. "Huh? If you could see what I have in store for you, you wouldn't be laughing."
"That's why I'm laughing because I can see right through you," Jenny told him.
"What?" Panik asked, "what are you talking about you little runt?"
"You are the bogeyman Panik," Jenny agreed with him, "scaring children into being afraid of the dark until they realize that the dark is nothing to be afraid of, like you." Panik growled. "Once a person conjures up the confident not to be fearful for the unknown they disarm the only weapon the dark has."
"You wish it was that simple-"
"But is that simple and I have the card to prove it," Jenny interrupted as she held up a card.
"What card?" Panik asked.
"A card that'll exposed you and lift up the veil of shadows you cower behind," Jenny answered.
"What's that?" Panik asked in fear.
"It's just a little some thing that'll teach you a lesson in broad daylight," Jenny answered once again.
"Hey Mai," Téa spoked up looking over at the blond, "why would Jenny tell Panik her strategy?"
"It's panic," Mai answered, "some thing happen to me."
"I don't know Mai," Yugi spoked up making the two girls to look at him, "she doesn't look like she's panicking."
"You almost had me there," Panik told her with a laugh, "but we both know that that card is nothing, but a big fat bluff. Prove me wrong Jenny? Let's see you give me, my tough lesson."
"Why should I show you, my card after you went to such lengths to keep yours in the dark?" Jenny asked.
"I think you're stalling," Panik told her.
"You don't trust me, Panik?" Jenny asked in fake hurt before smirking, "believe it or not, but not all duelist are lying dogs like you. And to prove it, I'll show you. After all I wouldn't won't you thinking I was some kind of lair."
"Show me!" Panik ordered.
"You don't need prove anything to that slime Jenny," Tristan told her.
"Ready Panik?" Jenny asked, "here it is." She turned the card around to face Panik. "The Swords of Revealing Light!"
"Huh?" Panik asked in shock, "Revealing Light?"
"The blinding light of the Swords of Revealing light not only stall enemy monsters for 3 full turns, but it bathes the entire field in a light so luminous that even your lurking shadow creatures will be exposed," Jenny told him, "soon Panik, the monsters within your dark empire will have nowhere to hide, but rather than play it now I'll take a page from your book and let you worry about when and how I'll use it just like you do with the monsters you hide in the dark. You're going down in 5 turns. 5 turns Panik and then my monsters will finish you off. Hope Magician in def mode and of course, the card that'll make you see the light." A young girl with blue shoulder length hair and matching eyes wearing a mixer of silver and white magician's outfit with a silver staff appeared onto the field. (Def 1400) "Your 5 turns start now Panik. It's your move."
'She's taunting me,' Panik thought, 'that must be the Swords of Revealing Light.'
"What's the matter Panik?" Jenny asked, "has bullying lost it's thrill?"
"I'll teach you about bluffs just you wait," Panik answered.
"Hey Mai," Yoru said as she looked at the blond, "why is Jenny keeping the card out if she's not going to use it yet?"
Mai briefly looked at her before looking back at the duel.
"I hate to say it guys, but it's not a good sign," Mai told them.
"Huh?"
"I was able to keep it together for about this long, too, but after awhile Panik has a way of getting to you and making you slip up," Mai stated.
"Not my pal," Yoru said, "she knows what she's going."
"I sure hope so," Tristan and Bakura said.
"She does," Yugi and Joey agreed with Yoru.
"Listen, I know Jenny's good, but fighting Panik isn't about being good," Mai told them, "it's about keeping a level head while your lost in the dark or being atked by fire. Jenny's gonna need guts to win this duel, not skill.
"Guts, huh?" Yoru asked, "well, she's got heart."
"You got that right," Tristan agreed.
"Yes, but she did just leave her best card out fully vulnerable," Bakura told them, "you don't make those kind of mistakes unless you're nervous and Panik's not one to let a mistake like that go unpunished."
"Make your move Panik!" Jenny told him.
"I must say it was a daring move to illuminate me with the presence of that card little Jenny, but it was a critical mistake to leave it on the field completely exposed," Panik told her, "you thought idle cards were safe from atks, you are dead wrong. Reaper of the Cards!"
"The Reaper?" Jenny asked in shock.
"When the Reaper is summoned all magic cards hear the ghostly call of doom," Panik said, "he'll be sending your Revealing Light card to the discard graveyard leaving you defenseless. Reaper Atk!"
"Jenny!"
"But that card was Jenny's only chance!" Mai yelled in disbelief.
"You're fate belongs to me now Jenny," Panik told her with a laugh, "Call of the Graveyard!" Jenny smirked as the Reaper of the Cards stopped an inch from the face down. "What's going on? It's can't finish it's Atk!" Jenny cackled as the smirk just grew bigger. "It should have destroyed your card. The Swords of Revealing Light!"
"I said my Swords of Revealing Light is the card that will illuminate your monsters," Jenny stated, "I never said it was the card I placed on the field you just assumed that."
"But if that's not-"
"The card I placed on the field was a different card," Jenny said as she revealed, "the Spellbinding Circle! A trap card!"
As a pentagram appeared around the Reaper keeping it in place.
"A trap card?" Panik asked in shocked.
"Yes a trap card that snares your Reaper stopping him dead in his tracks by encircling him in a magical prison," Jenny told him with a smirk, "in duel monsters one must be wary of the Reaper of the Cards and it's ability to send magic cards to the discard pile. I figured that you probably had one stalking around in your deck somewhere. But now that he's frozen, unable to damage my deck, I'm free to lay whatever magic cards I want on the field."
"Great thinking!" Yoru told her with a smile.
"Way to put one over on him Jenny," Joey cheered.
"What is with this kid?" Mai asked, "I can't even keep up with her on the side line."
"She's going good, but it's not over yet," Bakura said.
"How dare you?!" Panik asked in raged, "you fooled me!"
"Humph," Jenny mumbled with a smirk, "you fooled yourself Panik and wasted quite a powerful card, too, but now that the coast is clear, I'll really lay my Swords of the Revealing Light." Jenny placed the card face down. "And a second magic card." Jenny placed another card face down. "Both face down."
"Face down?" Panik asked, "why?"
"Now what's up?" Joey asked.
"I don't know, but I bet we're about to find out soon enough," Bakura answered.
"So what?" Panik asked, "you've captured my Reaper, but he's only one of my powerful monsters. The one's that remain will destroy you!"
