Chapter 11: Yugi vs Weevil (Part III)
Duelist Kingdom Forest
"Don't listen to Weevil Yugi, you've got him on the ropes." ,said Tea.
"Ha ha, yea right." ,said a familiar voice. Everyone turned around to see none other than Mai standing behind them watching the duel.
"Mai." ,everyone said all together.
"You losers don't seem to realize who your little pal is up against. Weevil's regional champion, he's got moves your shrimp couldn't even dream of."
Tea was seething, Mai really knew how get on her nerves. 'Oh that Mai, always butting in with her big mouth, well I'm not going to let her trash my friends.' "Nobody asked you, so why don't you take a hike!"
"And miss the chance to see a champion like Weevil as he turns this around, no way."
"Yea, I mean Weevil did come from behind to win the regionals" ,said Joey.
"He's tough and sneaky." ,said Tristian.
"Hmm." ,was Miho's response.
Tea was annoyed by what Tristian and Joey had to say. "Just who's side are you two goofballs on anyways!"
"All I'm say'n is for Yugi, this is his first official duel."
"And he's fighting a champ." ,Tristian added.
'Mai you troublemaker, you think you know so much but Yugi will show you.' ,thought Tea.
'Yugi's got this.' ,thought a focused Miho.
"You may have flattened my army of bugs Yugi, but you haven't won. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve." ,said Weevil.
"You've done an awful lot of buzzing throughout this whole duel Weevil, but I'm still here waiting for the sting."
"Since you're new to this whole dueling tournament thing I'll make it simple fore you, I'm going to wipe that goofy grin from your face." Weevil looked down at his cards grinning before he decided to speak again. "Now lets see which lucky bug gets to take the first bite." Weevil began to chuckle as he held up his card. "Oh, but this little bug won't stand a chance against all your ferocious monsters. Oh well, I'll just play him in defense mode." Weevil placed his monster card face down in defense mode while keeping a cocky grin on his face.
"That would have been a nice bluff, but I still haven't forgotten about the trap card you played." Yami Yugi remembered how Weevil bragged about his trap card, saying Yugi wouldn't be able to make a move against him.
'He didn't trap me then, and he's not going to trap me now.' ,Yugi thought. 'Weevil's trap card will activate as soon as I call an attack, and it will destroy all the monsters I have on the field. What if I get all monsters off the field first and then destroy his trap? That's it!'
"I'll spring your trap Weevil." ,said Yami Yugi as he placed down a card. "First I'll play the Monster Recovery card, it allows me to call back all the creatures I have on the field. Monsters, return to your cards." ,Yami Yugi's monsters disappeared from the field and returned to their cards in a quick flash of light. "Now your trap has nothing to snare, and once my monsters are all safely back in my deck the recovery card also lets me draw a new hand." Yami Yugi shuffled his deck until he was satisfied and drew a brand new hand. "Now all I have to do is sacrifice one of my weaker monsters and your trap is sprung." Yami Yugi placed down his card and shouted, "Kuriboh(300/200) Attack!"
"No!", shouted Weevil as his trap card activated. A giant worm like creature emerged from Weevils side of the field and went straight after Yugi's Kuriboh. The worm lunged into the Kuriboh which caused both monsters to explode.
Weevil(555)-Yugi(1050)
"Trap cards only work when they catch you by surprise, next time don't give your plan away."
Weevil started to do his usual chuckling. "I didn't. I don't give a bee's behind about that stupid trap."
"What!?"
"I tricked you into recalling your monsters so you couldn't attack this!" Weevil picked up his faced down monster and slammed it down face up. A green looking larvae appeared on the fields squirming around.
'It's just a simple little Larvae Moth(650/520), that tiny creature can't be much of a treat. What's Weevil up to now?', thought Yugi.
"Sure my Larvae Moth is just a little slug now, but the Cocoon-of-Evolution(0/2000) will change all that."
"What!"
"Isn't it beautiful?" ,asked Weevil with an insane grin on his face.
Weevils Larvae moth began to become incased in a slimy cocoon, nasty sound effects and all.
'Eww.' ,thought Yami Yugi.
"Eeek!" ,shout Miho. "This is why I hate bugs, there just so Disgusting!"
"That's just gross." ,said Tea, although she was looking a bit green in the face.
"Weevil's bug is sealing itself in a cocoon." ,said Joey.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." ,said Tristian.
'I told those chumps that Weevil would turn this duel around.' ,thought Mai.
Weevils Larvae Moth was completely sealed inside the Cocoon-of-Evolution, and it looked completely grody. The cocoon was pink and pulsing, it also had slimy white threads to hold it in place.
"Behold my Cocoon-of-Evolution, ha ha! Inside sits my tiny little Larvae Moth, and over the next five turns he will undergo a startling transformation from hungry caterpillar to unstoppable Great Moth!"
"Then I'll crack your cocoon before that happens."
"Easier said than done Yugi, for my Cocoon-of-Evolution gets a field power bonus from the wilderness around us, increasing it's defense points. It'll be so strong you won't even be able to scratch its surface." Weevil began to hold up five fingers to emphasize his point. "Just five more turns Yugi, in five turns my Great Moth will fully evolve and finish you off."
'If what Weevil said is true, I better act fast. That thing is getting bigger and stronger with each passing second. I have to find a way to break open that cocoon now, I can't let that moth get to it's fifth stage of evolution. Do I have a card that strong enough to stop it?'
Yami Yugi placed down a card to go after the Cocoon-of-Evolution. "Gaia the fierce knight (2300/2100)... SHATTER THAT COCOON!"
Gaia charged at the cocoon with his spear at the ready. Gaia's attack bounced off the cocoon as if it was made of rubber, the cocoon didn't even have a scratch.
"The field power bonus makes it too strong!" ,shouted Joey in surprise.
"That's one turn down, care to try again?" taunted Weevil as he started to laugh.
'Weevil's cocoon is gonna be tough to crack, and for each attack that fails... my life points go down.'
Weevil(555)-Yugi(750)
"Oh no." ,said a worried Tea.
"Hang tough Yugi, you'll pop that puss bag." ,said Joey.
"Ah ha ha ha ha."
Tea turned her head to look at a now chuckling Mai. "Just what do you think your laughing at?"
"All that stupid cheerleading you're doing, you make it sound like your Yugi still has a chance."
"Of course he does!" ,shouted Tea as Joey had to restrain her.
"Don't listen to her Tea."
Mai crossed her arms and started to speak again. "Any duelist that's ever gone up against Weevil's Cocoon-of-Evolution has been totally trashed."
"All of them!?" ,was the collective response of Joey and Tristian.
"But Yugi's got us to help him beat it." ,said Tea.
"Hn." was Mai's response. 'Yugi's going to need a lot more than you losers.'
"Do you hear my Moth growing Yugi, the more time you waste, the more powerful it becomes."
'If I don't come up with something quick, I'm not just going to lose this duel, I'll lose my only chance to save my grandpa. There's no way I can let that happen.'
"Tick tock tick tock." ,taunted Weevil as he drew a card from his deck. "Just four more turns until my ultimate insect emerges, then you can stop worrying about how you're going to destroy it, and start worrying about how it's going to destroy you. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
'Maybe I should prepare a defense just in case I really can't stop that thing.' ,Yami Yugi put a card face down and waited for Weevil to make his move.
"You're wasting your turn, no defense will save you once my Moth is out."
Yami Yugi and Weevil began to draw there cards as the tension in the air began to get thicker and thicker, this was truly anyone's duel to win.
'I have to find a way to turn this duel around. Weevil's pretty confident that whatever's growing inside that cocoon is unbeatable, but there's got to be some way to pop that thing open and wipe that smirk off his face. But how?'
"Hang in there Yugi." ,said Tea.
"You have to win for your grandpa Yugi, he's counting on you." ,said Tristian.
"I know he is." said Yami Yugi.
Joey decided to speak up now. "Then you can't keep letting this little creep push you around, you need to get fired up."
'Wait ,that's it, get fired up.' ,thought Yugi with new found confidence.
"So do you guys just sit around and work up these lame cheers, or do they just come to you? I mean don't you realize that your pep-talk nonsense only distracts Yugi from the game."
"And how would you know!" ,yelled Miho which surprised Mai, since she's been here Miho had been mostly quiet. "I bet no one's even wanted to be your friend, let alone cheer fore you."
Mai quickly shook off her surprise and spoke. "Friends haven't helped Yugi any, he's loosing."
Mai was again surprised when she saw that Yugi didn't look as worried as he did a little while ago, in fact he looked a lot more confident that he could win.
"Well Mai, by the look on Yugi's face I'd say having friends did just help him out a lot." ,said Miho as everyone cheered, except for Tea who was sticking her tongue out at Mai.
'Brat, what possible idea could Yugi have gotten from these mental morons?'
Yami Yugi slammed down a card while yelling,"Curse of Dragon(2000/1500), take flight!" Yami Yugi then slammed down another card and shouted again. "And I'll combine it with this magic card! Attack with dragon flame!"
The Curse of Dragon let out a battle cry before launching a stream of fire from its mouth at the Cocoon-of-Evolution. The fire enveloped the cocoon and everything around it, Weevil's side of the field was set ablaze.
"What do you think your doing? You know your little firefly can't hurt my cocoon." ,said an annoyed Weevil. Yami Yugi started to chuckle which got Weevil's attention. "What's so funny?"
"Whoever said I was aiming for your cocoon. I combined my Burning Land magic card with my Curse of Dragon to destroy the forest all around your cocoon."
Weevil was stunned, his forest was now nothing but cinders and his cocoon was left charred. "With no forest I'll lose my field power bonus!"
"Exactly. Your cocoon was too tough to attack directly, but without it's field power bonus it's just a big target."
"AH!" ,shouted a still stunned Weevil.
"Now lets try this again. Gaia the fierce knight, ATTACK!"
Gaia the fierce knight charged at the now weakened cocoon with all his strength and punctured it.
"All right, he popped it open like a zit." ,said Joey.
Weevil let out a low chuckle. The cocoon now had a small puncture in it and you could see something green in it.
Everyone was looking at the cocoon wondering why it was still on the field. "Is it still alive?" ,asked Tea.
"I have a bad feeling were about to find out." ,said Joey.
