DISNEY GOES DUELING

If you remember last time, Yugi had smote the Horned King. Now get ready for this story's second tag duel as Tea and Tristan take on Lady Tremaine and Forte.

Also, on a side note: any fans of Shaman King might want to check out my Shaman King fic, The New Asakura.

Chapter 23: Jack's Lament

"Okay," said Joey, "we know da old bag is Anastasia's mom, but who's da other guy?" "Allow me to introduce myself," the graying man spoke, "I am Maestro Forte; court composer." "Weren't you a pipe organ in the Beauty and the Beast Christmas movie?" Serenity asked. "That I was," he nodded, "but that is not why we are here. We are here to duel." He readied his disk, with the deck slot looking like a pipe and the card tray sporting a paint job resembling piano keys.

"Time to duel!" all four declared.

TT-8000/FT-8000.

"Ladies first," spat Tremaine, "I set a monster in defense mode and two cards face-down. Your move, girl."

Tea drew, "I set one card face-down and a monster in defense mode."

Forte looked at his hand, "hmm… I will also set a monster in defense mode and pass the turn to you, boy."

"I set a monster in defense mode and play Pot of Generosity, which lets me return two cards in my hand to my deck," Tristan explained.

Tremaine drew once more, "now that we have completed a full rotation, I can go on the offensive. But first, I'll play Delinquent Duo. At the price of one thousand life points, you must discard two cards." "Uh… which one of us?" Tristan asked. Tremaine sneered, rolling her eyes, "you of course." Tristan now had no cards what-so-ever. Unbeknownst to their opponents, that was part of his strategy.

TT-8000/TF-7000.

"I play Fiend's Sanctuary, which creates a Metal Fiend Token and then I'll destroy the token and one of your monsters with a spell card called Share the Pain," she pressed on. Tea's monster was destroyed and she smiled, "you've activated my trap card… Michizure! When one of my monsters is destroyed, I can destroy one of yours! So say good bye to your face-down, old bag!"

"Very well," Tremaine huffed, "I summon Jirai Gumo." A large, bloated brown spider appeared.

"Now," she continued, "in order to attack with it, I must flip a coin. If I call it right, I'm fine but if I call it wrong, we lose half our life points. She flipped the coin, "heads!" Fortunately for Tea and Tristan, it landed on tails.

TT-8000/TF-3500.

Jirai Gumo munched up Tristan's monster.

The gang cheered. "C'mon! You can do it!" Serenity cried. "Dat's right! Kick dere butts!" Joey declared.

"It's my move!" declared Tea, "and I play Premature Burial! All I have to do is pay 800 points to bring back a monster and I choose my Majestic Mech-Senku, which I tribute to summon Majestic Mech-Ohka!" A white and blue robotic angel was replaced by a pink and white robotic lion-like creature.

"Now… attack her spider!" Tea commanded. Ohka lunged at the oversized arachnid.

2400-2200=200.

TT-7200/TF-3300.

"Your move!" Tea cried. Forte nodded, drawing his card.

Forte perused his hand for a moment before taking action, "I use Polymerization to fuse Lady of Faith and Witch of the Black Forest into… Musician King!"

Okay, at this time the author would like to point out the fact that in this case; two women become one man. Massive eye twitch time, no?

"But I am, by no means, done," Forte continued, "I use Hammer Shot. This spell card destroys the strongest monster in play. Now Musician King will attack you directly!"

TT-5450/TF-3300.

"Back to me," declared Tristan, "I use Pot of Greed to draw two cards. Now I use Heavy Storm to destroy all spell and trap cards in play! And then I'll summon Cybernetic Cyclopean!" A white robotic Cyclops arose. "When I hold one or less cards, he gains 1000 points! Now; destroy his monster!" The Cyclops ripped Musician King's head clean off its shoulders. Needless to say, most of the people present were a little queasy at such a sight.

2400-1750=650

TT-5450/TF-2650.

"My draw," announced Lady Tremaine. She smirked, "I use Premature Burial on Jirai Gumo and then I'll summon Dark Tinker." A weird multi-armed critter appeared.

"Now…" she continued, "I'll tune my Dark Tinker with Jirai Gumo to Synchro summon…"

… Yeah, yeah, I know… Synchro monsters didn't exist back then. But consider the time periods most Disney classics take place. If Thalzar can bring people from the past, who's to say he can't get cards from the future?

Anyways, sorry about the delay folks. One of my friends got me hooked on the awesomeness that is The Nostalgia Critic. If you haven't seen his work, do so.
