Chapter 11

Rise of the Masked Beast

While the duel continued, Téa drew a card from her deck and said,

"Now Ladies, I summon Witchblade in attack mode, next I end my turn with this card face down" she said when her monster appeared (ATK/1800 DEF/1800).

Just then Mai drew a card from her deck and then looked at Serenity and then said,

"Ok now I summon Amazoness Swords woman and attack Diana – Queen of the Forest" she said when her Amazoness attacked with only 1500 attack points.

Just then, Mai's Amazoness Swords Woman was destroyed but then Serenity said,

"Why did you do that Mai?"

"I did that Serenity, because all the damage we would of lost due to our attack goes to them and especially Mia" Mai explained with a smile on her face. Just then Mia and Téa's team Life points dropped to 6800 but Mia's Individual life points dropped to 2800 due to Mai's monsters effect.

Mia (2800), Téa (4000), Serenity (4000), Mai (4000)

When Mai had ended her turn, she looked at Mia, Téa and then turned to Serenity until Mia was furious with Mai and snatched a card from her deck and said,

"Now I activate the Black Girl Ritual card and tribute my Diana-Queen of the Forest, in order to ritual summon my Black Luster Girl in attack mode (ATK/3000 DEF/2700)" she said when her monster appeared.

Just then Mia ordered an attack with her new powerful monster on Serenity's Alector, Sovereign of the birds.

Just then Mai revealed her Mirror Wall trap card to protect Serenity's monster, when Black Luster Girls attack points decreased from 3000 to 1500 when the wall appeared in front of Serenity's Alector. A few seconds later Mia's Black Luster Girl was destroyed in doing so, losing 900 Life points dropping their team life points down to 5900 but her own Life points to 1900.

When Mia's monster was destroyed and sent to the graveyard, she ended her turn.

When Mia's turn came to an end, Serenity drew a card from her deck and began her turn. After she had drawn from her deck, she said,

"Now I attack Witchblade with my Alector, Sovereign of the birds" she ordered when her monster flew high into the sky and attacked Téa's Witchblade. But then Téa said,

"Now I reveal my face down card Shadow Spell" she shouted when chains surrounded Serenity's monster stopping its attack and dropping its attack points from 2400 1700.

"I end my turn" said Serenity when she looked at her chained monster.

Just then Téa looked at the field and drew a card from her deck and said,

"Now I tribute my Melchid the four-faced beast and Witchblade, in order to summon the Masked Beast Des Gardius in attack mode, (ATK/3300 DEF/2500) next I activate the spell card remove trap to destroy your Mirror Wall Mai." she said when Mai's Mirror Wall shattered.

When Mai's wall was destroyed, Téa launched an attack on Mai's Harpie Lady Sisters in doing so Mai lost 1050 life points dropping her team's life points down to 6950, but her individual to 2950 when Téa ended her turn.

Just then, the duel went to Mai when Serenity said,

"Mai are you alright?"

"Yes I'm fine, Serenity, now watch as I turn this duel around" she replied when drawing a card from her deck.

"Now I tribute my Cyber Harpie Lady to summon my Dark Witch in defense mode (ATK/1800 DEF/1700), next I activate my monster reborn to bring back my Cyber Harpie in attack mode (ATK/1800 DEF/1300) and end my turn" she finished when the duel went back to Mia.

When Mia had drawn a card from her deck she looked at her hand and said,

"Now I summon Amazoness Paladin in attack mode, and now that my warrior is on the field she gets a power boost for every monster with Amazoness in its name including her own." she explained.

Just then Amazoness Paladin's attack points went from 1700 to 1800 due to her own effect and then when Mia continued with her turn when she said,

"Now I activate my Pot of greed that allows me to draw 2 cards from my deck. Next I activate the spell card Lightning Blade and equip it to my Amazoness Paladin that increases her attack by 700 points" she explained when her monsters attack went from 1800 to 2500. A second or two later Mia ordered her Amazoness Paladin to attack Serenity's Dunames Dark Witch that was destroyed as Serenity lost 700 life points, where she was forced back by the attack when she dropped to one knee. While her team's life points dropped to 6250, but her own dropped down to 3300 where Mia ended her turn.

After Serenity got up and walked back into the duelist zone, she drew a card from her deck to begin her turn when she said,

"Now I activate the spell card Graceful Charity, that allows me to draw three cards and I have to discard two and now I play pot of greed allowing me to draw two cards from my deck" she explained.

"Now I summon Harpie Lady in attack mode (ATK/1300 DEF/1400) and now I activate the spell card Cyber Shield and equip it to my Harpie Lady increasing her attack points by 500 (ATK/1800) and finally I activate my Monster Reborn to bring back my Harpies Pet Dragon, and set 1 card face down and end my turn" she said. Just then a large gust of wind suddenly picked up, when her dragon appeared on her field beside his master. Before the Duel went to Téa, Serenity's dragon attack and defense points increased to (ATK/2300 DEF/2500) just as Téa drew a card from her deck.

Meanwhile the others were following Kaiba and Mokuba until they came to a locked door where Kaiba swiped his card shaped pendant and placed the code into the lock as the red light turned to green where the doors opened. After the doors had opened, Kaiba and his brother Mokuba led the way down a long passage way that lead to inside the dueling arena unaware to Nikki and Akiza. When walking down the passageway, Tristan said,

"Impressive Kaiba but where does it lead to?" he asked.

"This leads to the stands and where I will be able to finally meet Nikki and take back my Kaiba Land" replied Kaiba in his normal arrogate self.

A few minutes later, Kaiba and Mokuba opened the security door and walked through to the dueling arena where he saw Ishizu chained and gagged high above the arena floor where Joey ran to the side of the arena and shouted,

"Are you ok Girls?" when Serenity and Mai turned to see Joey and the rest of the gang.

"We're fine Joey" replied Serenity while Nikki was furious to see that they were in the dueling arena.

"It's my turn and now I summon Dark Elf Fighter in attack mode. (ATK/1500 DEF/1300) Next I activate the spell card Demon mask and equip it to my fighter" said Téa when an Oni mask placed itself onto her monsters face.

Just then Serenity asked,

"What the hell is that Mask?"

"When this mask is on any of my monsters you cannot declare an attack with any of your monsters and now I attack Mai's Cyber Harpie Lady with my Masked Beast Des Gardius" she ordered while everyone looked on from the sidelines.

"Yug, where did Téa get those cards from?"

"I have a feeling that this is Nikki's doing and I hope Serenity and Mai come through this and rescue Téa and Ishizu" replied Yugi to Joey.

Just then, Téa continued with her attack but as soon she did Serenity revealed her face down card and said,

"Now Mirror Wall activate" she said when her trap activated.
