The night after his defeat, Speedfist's screams of agony echoed throughout the dark sky as Hiccup and the others huddled around a small campfire, taking in the painful cries.
Heather looked worried over at the gates. "Poor Speedfist…" she muttered.
Astrid sighed and poked the fire, "I hate to hear Speedfist suffering like that and not being able to help."
"No joke," Snotlout nodded, "They've been duelling all night, and from those screams, it sounds like Speedfist's been losing all night."
"How long can this go on?" Gobber thought aloud.
Hiccup rose to his feet, having had enough of just sitting around doing nothing. "We gotta do something!"
"I agree we can't just sit around and do nothing," said Ragnar.
A low rumbling sound began to emanate from the coliseum, making everyone look towards it.
Fishlegs quivered slightly. "What is that…?" he whimpered.
Everyone else watched as Speedfist slowly walked out of the coliseum gateway, looking as though he was beaten down, emotionally speaking.
"Speedfist?!" Hiccup ran to his friend, followed quickly by the others, "Speedfist, are you okay?"
Speedfist only fell over, but made it to his knees since Hiccup caught him before he could hit his head on anything.
"What happened to you in there?" Fishlegs asked, standing over him.
The only reply was a sorrowful look in Speedfist's eyes.
"I think he just got out of his 'relationship,'" Hiccup noted in quotations.
"You mean she dumped you," said Ragnar slightly shocked.
Speedfist nodded, "Yes… I'm crushed."
"You're not crushed, you're lucky," Snotlout muttered.
Gobber frowned, "I don't understand. She was so smitten with you yesterday…"
Speedfist sighed and looked up at the sky, "I know… we were to be married!" he groaned, earning surprised looks from the others as well as some disgusted ones from Ragnar and Heather. "But she decided I wasn't duellist enough…"
Speedfist fell to the dirt as the last of his Life Points went down to zero.
Tania glared at him, "You're not worthy… beat it!"
Speedfist gasped.
"I need someone. Someone who is at my level," Tania mused as she turned away from
Groaning, Speedfist slowly sat up and watched the Amazon duellist walk off towards the inner archway, "My love…"
"I wasn't good enough for her, and she's left me forever. She said she wants a champion, a duellist who can give her a match that she'll always remember."
Everyone wondered about that as he got up off the ground and wandered back to the Ra dorm.
That afternoon, Speedfist stood at a large window in the halls of Duel Academy, head propped up as he gazed out at the island. The images of the Amazon still fresh in his mind, as well as the memories of the duels.
He sighed, 'Tania…' he thought as he replayed their first duel over in his head, remembering all of the attacks and moves that had transpired yesterday with absolute clarity and accuracy.
Speedfist snapped back to reality soon after, holding his head, "Oh, Tania!"
A few feet away, Hiccup, Ragnar, Astrid and Heather were watching him.
Hiccup frowned, "Still not over that Amazon, huh?"
Astrid nodded, "Yeah, I've never seen him like this. I had no idea he had fallen that hard over her."
"Yeah…" Ragnar looked at his fellow Key-Keepers, "Really, it's kinda weird to see Speedfist of all people to do that over a girl," he sighed. "But I think I understand."
"I think I do too," Heather nodded. "He's unbalanced his emotions."
"What do you mean?" Astrid asked.
"He didn't keep his emotions in check." Ragnar replied. "It's like anger clouding people's judgment; it takes over, you make poor decisions."
"I see what you mean," said Astrid.
"Yeah, but if you can keep it together, you make the right moves, regardless of the situation." Hiccup finished.
"There must be something we can do," said Heather.
Speedfist entered the Obelisk Duel Arena and stopped shortly after, seeing a crowd of people there, waiting for him. Hiccup, Astrid, Ragnar, Heather, Fishlegs, Snotlout, the twins and even Wolflegs were looking at him quietly.
He scowled at them, "What do the lot of you want?"
Hiccup held up his deck, "A duel to cheer you up, man, how about it?"
"I can't…" Speedfist slowly shook his head, "It's too soon for me."
"You've gotta move on Speedfist!" Hiccup urged him, not liking to see his friend like this.
Speedfist looked at him, "I just can't duel… without my Tania…"
"Speedfist, I hate saying this, but she's probably duelling someone else besides you," Hiccup pointed out.
Speedfist let out a light gasp, then shook his head, "No, she wouldn't! Not my Tania!"
"Oh, gag me…" Tuffnut muttered under his breath.
"Yeah, I think I'm going to be sick," said Ruffnut.
"You don't understand!" Speedfist snapped, "We had passion!"
"Uh…" Hiccup blinked, confused at Speedfist's words, "Say what?"
Speedfist looked up at the ceiling, the smitten look never leaving for a second, "When I first dueled Tania, there were fireworks between us! You saw how our cards danced that dangerous Duel Monsters dance together! It was beautiful, majestic… and if I can't have that feeling when I duel… then." His shoulders slumped. "My life duelling… it's all finished."
"Sounds like you and me, Astrid," said Snotlout placing a hand over Astrid's shoulders.
Astrid responded by tossing him over her shoulder.
Wolfegs then returned the conversation back on track. "But Speedfist, she's a Shadow Rider!" he reminded him. "We have the world to save, we need you!"
"Yeah, you may have lost your key; doesn't mean you can't continue helping out the rest of us." Heather told him.
"You can't just pack your deck and call it a day," said Astrid.
Speedfist sighed. "I thought you two would understand…"
"Huh?" The two Obelisk girls wondered.
"You two understand about duelling with passion?" Speedfist asked.
"Beg pardon?" Astrid blinked.
"Sorry, as much as all of you require my deck, but until I prove to Tania that I'm a worthy man, my duelling days are through now and forever!"
"All right, that's it. I'm gonna go to the bathroom and hurl…" Ruffnut muttered.
"You and me both, sister," said Tuffnut.
Hiccup sighed. "There's nothing for it, I'll have duel Tania."
Everyone stared at him.
"Hiccup, you can't be serious?" said Astrid.
"Listen I need to show that you don't need to be in love to duel with passion and the only way I can do that is by duelling her myself," said Hiccup crossing his arms.
"You do realise that if you lose your end up marrying her," Ragnar pointed out.
"Hopefully it won't come to that," said Hiccup. "And if it does just kill me."
Back at the Coliseum…
The Amazon woman seethed with anger and pounded her chest like a gorilla.
The Shadow Rider growled in anger, "This island has nothing but weaklings! I need a worthy partner, someone who isn't intimidated by my power!" she punched a nearby wall a few times, and then jump kicked the ceiling, sending a chunk of rock crashing to the floor. It scared her tiger out of its wits.
"If that duellist can't find me, then I'll find him!" Tania swore, making her way to the exit. Her tiger followed after her while the ceiling fell in behind them.
Later that night, Hiccup made his way over to the coliseum, followed by the rest of the gang.
"Couldn't have this waited until morning?!" Snotlout muttered.
"NO! TANIA!" Speedfist yelled.
"Dose that answer your question?" Heather asked and Snotlout mumbled to himself.
A loud growling made them all look off to the side, startled.
"It's her…" Speedfist gasped.
Then Tania's tiger jumped over the bushes with her riding on her back.
Tania shook her head, "Can't you take a hint? I already dumped you, don't you remember?"
"Don't worry, he's not here for you, I'm here just to prove a point," said Hiccup taking a step forward.
Tania looked at him with great interest. "My, don't you have fire. And might I ask what this point is?"
"You'll find out when we duel," said Hiccup.
Tania smiled. "Well, you've caught my interest. Very well, let's see what you've got."
"Oh no…" Astrid muttered.
"This is not gonna go well…" Heather stated.
Soon after, Tania and Hiccup were standing opposite each other in the middle of the coliseum, with everyone else watching from the side-lines. "You know the rules," said Tania as she held up her two decks for Hiccup to see. "If you lose this duel, you lose your spirit key and single status. Meaning you move into this battle arena with me and become my husband forevermore."
"I sure hope Hiccup knows what he's doing," said Ragnar.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," said Hiccup with a firm expression on his face. "And when I'm done here, Speedfist will know that you don't have to be in love to duel with passion."
'Even though you're kinda a hypocrite with that statement.' Toothless appeared behind him and he ignored him.
"So, wadda you say we start this, hun?" Tania asked Hiccup. Both of them then inserted their decks and started up their duel disks.
"Let's duel!"
Hiccup: 4000
Tania: 4000
"I'll start things off," said Hiccup as he drew a card. "I'll start things by summoning Dragon Knight Fanghook in defence mode!"
Appearing on Hiccup's field was the eager looking knight in a defence position. (ATK: 1400/DEF: 800)
"That's your move?" Tania drew her card disgusted, "Well, I have someone to disarm your knight. I summon Amazoness Paladin!" She watched as her blonde warrior appeared before her. "While she's out on the field, she gains an extra 100 attack points for every monster on the field that has 'Amazoness' in its name." (ATK: 1700-1800/DEF: 300)
"Next," Tania held up another card, "I play this Spell, Amazoness Charm! This card switches all the monsters you have on your field in defence mode, to attack mode and gives them an extra 200 attack points!"
Fanghook started to blush at the sight of the Paladin and stood up. (ATK: 1400-1600)
Tuffnut frowned at the move, "I don't get it. Why would she play a card that increases her opponent's attack power?"
"For the thrill of it!" Speedfist explained heatedly, "The passion!"
"Oh, brother," Ruffnut groaned.
"Yes?" Tuffnut asked.
"So, are we enjoying the night so far?" Tania asked Hiccup. "I hope you're not getting distracted."
"Not at all!" Hiccup shrugged, "In this duel, I plan on giving you my full attention on the battlefield!"
Tania held up another card. "Maybe this will make you reconsider! The card known as Amazoness Arena! When this card activates, we both gain 600 Life Points and it's just not distracting," She smiled as a huge cage arena appeared, rising from the dirt around them and closing around them creating a dome of metal bars, "it's captivating."
Hiccup: 4600
Tania: 4600
Snotlout looked at the cage. "Wow… she must really be desperate to find a husband if she has to use a cage."
"I'm glad I'm not fighting her," said Ragnar.
Tania chuckled, looking at her cage. "You see, Amazoness Arena is a sacred arena. In here, you don't just fight with your monster, you fight with your soul!" she explained, waving her arms to show the cage some more.
"Come again?" Hiccup asked. "Just how do I do that?" He asked slowly.
"Oh, you'll find out. But first, Amazoness Paladin attacks your Fanghook!"
The blonde warrior dashed over to Hiccup's field and slashed her straight blade hard and swift across Fanghook's chest. The young knight didn't stand a chance and blew up in a cloud of flame and smoke.
Tania: 4600
Hiccup: 4400
"Now, you will see the power of my Arena! When our monsters are done, your soul can duel mine. So, you sacrifice 100 of your Life Points to take away 100 of mine," Tania explained.
"Well, I'm not accustomed to hitting women. It's not something I particularly think is right," said Hiccup.
"And you shouldn't, but this isn't a fight between us, physically. You see, like I said, our souls will clash."
Hiccup sighed before relenting and going through with it. Both his and Tania's souls appeared in front of them in transparent form. While Tania's looked just like her, Hiccup's caused everyone to gasp.
Both of them then leapt forward, meeting in mid aid in the middle of the arena. Hiccup threw a punch, only to miss and get hit by Tania's counterattack, falling back to the other end of the arena.
Hiccup: 4300
Tania: 4500
Everyone deciding an explanation can be given later, they turned back to the duel. "Hiccup!" Ragnar cried out, worried after seeing him get hit.
"C'mon, this is embarrassing for all of us guys!" Snotlout added.
Hiccup then jumped back up and punched her with his left hand.
Hiccup: 4200
Tania: 4400
"That's not a bad left hook," said Tania with a grin rubbing her cheek.
"What the- She compliments his attack?" Snotlout exclaimed in surprise.
"Isn't she great?" said Speedfist in a love struck voice.
"If you liked that, you're gonna love this," Hiccup drew his next card, "I use Polymerization to fuse Dragon Knights Bard and Belch to Fusion Summon the Dragon Knight Twin Swordsman!"
Everyone watched as Hiccup's Heroes combined and formed the larger darker green knight within a few seconds.
"Nice move," said Ragnar with a nod.
Astrid smiled, "A real nice move! Twin Swordsman's special ability allows him to attack twice in one turn!"
"Guess this is goodbye, Paladin, because Twin Swordsman is going to attack her with Twin Dragon Sword Slash." Twin Swordsman slashed one of his blades at Paladin blasting Tania with a shockwave from the explosion.
Hiccup: 4200
Tania: 3800
"And now going to use your arena's ability against you," said Hiccup.
"Wait, now Hiccup is using the soul attack?" Astrid blinked.
Like before both their souls appeared on the field.
Hiccup: 4100
Tania: 3700
Then like before their soul traded blows knocking each of them back.
Hiccup: 4000
Tania: 3600
"You know," said Hiccup as they returned to their bodies. "I thought hitting like a girl was a bad thing,"
"Oh… it's a bad thing all right," Tania grinned, "For you!" She commented.
"I'll tell you what else is bad and that's Twin Swordsman's second attack," said Hiccup as Twin Swordsman charged at Tania striking her down with his second sword and the impact knocked her off her feet.
Hiccup: 4000
Tania: 1200
Hiccup saw that Tania wasn't moving. "Tania, are you ok?" he called out to the Shadow Rider.
Tania slowly sat up and rubbed her jaw with her strange gauntlet, "Not bad, Hiccup. You're my kind of guy."
"Uh, Speedfist," Gobber turned to the love-stricken Ra, "I think Tania's falling for Hiccup…"
"Course not! She would never leave me!"
Heather rolled her eyes, "I guess love can be blind."
Tania growled and flipped back onto her feet, "All right, my turn!" she drew her card, smiling at what she had drawn, "First, I'll put down a facedown, then I'll summon Amazoness Swordswoman in attack mode," the female warrior from Speedfist's duel appeared on the field. (ATK: 1500/DEF: 1600)
"Then I think I'll use Amazoness Charm to rip apart your Twin Swordsman…" she slipped the last card into her slot and watched as Twin Swordsman disappeared from the field, leaving Barf and Belch on the field.
"Now, let's fight! Swordswoman, attack Belch with Amazon Slash Attack!"
The burly swordswoman ran over and cleaved her curved blade straight through Belch. The Knight began to slide apart in different directions, then blew up in small puff of smoke.
Hiccup: 3600
Tania: 1200
"Now, thanks to my Amazoness Arena, it's time we had a rematch!"
Hiccup: 3500
Tania: 1100
"Not again!" Astrid gasped.
"Watch out Hiccup!" Fishlegs yelled.
"Stick with your jab!" Ragnar shouted.
Hiccup's and Tania's souls once again rushed at each other and exchanged blows, knocking one another away.
Hiccup: 3400
Tania: 1000
"All right, it's my move," said Hiccup as he drew. "I summon Dragon Knight Hookfang in attack mode!"
Hookfang's only appeared on the field swinging his massive mace. (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1000)
"And now I'm going to have attack your Amazoness Swordswoman!" Hiccup roared as Hookfang charge at Swordswoman. "And every time he fights a monster he gains 400 additional attack points." Flames now covered Hookfang as he grew in strength. (ATK: 1600-2000)
"Not so fast, Hiccup!" Tania pressed a button on her disk, "I activate my facedown card, Amazoness Archers!"
Hiccup gulped as five women with bows and arrows appeared on the field, "Oh boy." He remembered that was the card that caused Speedfist to lose.
"If you don't remember what this does, this Trap card drains your monsters by 600 attack points… not too shabby for a girl, huh?"
Hiccup watched as Hookfang and Barf grew weaker. (ATK: 2000-1400) (ATK: 1200-600)
Amazoness Swordswoman countered Hookfang and destroyed him.
Hiccup: 3200
Tania: 1000
Hiccup winced at the attack, but kept his footing. He looked up at Tania, "Now, let's have ourselves Round Four!" he cried as he sacrificed points and his soul appeared once again.
Hiccup: 3100
Tania: 900
"What's he up to?" Astrid frowned.
"I don't know," said Ragnar.
They watched as the form of the two duellists rushed towards one another and punched each other silly before retreating back into their bodies.
Hiccup was looking to deal as much damage as he can whenever he can.
Hiccup: 3000
Tania: 800
"Not bad… you really duel with passion," Tania panted as they both rubbed their sore faces after the attacks.
Gobber raised an eyebrow, "What is she trying to prove?"
"I dunno, but I've never seen Hiccup duel with so much zeal before in my life!" Astrid shook her head, astounded.
Speedfist nodded, "Yes… he's enjoying himself in this duel while not being in love!"
"All right… now I'll have my Amazoness Archers force all your monsters to attack!"
"Not leaving me much choice, so Barf show how it's done," Hiccup commanded
Barf nodded and charged straight towards the Swordswoman, but he was powerless to wear and he was sliced across the belly.
Hiccup: 2400
Tania: 800
Hiccup winced again, "Well, that cost me some points… but hey, it's worth it to rumble!"
"Not again," Fishlegs moaned as the two souls of the duellists engaged each other in combat.
Hiccup: 2200
Tania: 600
"Next, I'll couple of facedown and end my turn!" Hiccup said quickly.
"My turn!" Tania drew her card. "And I activate Pot of Greed allowing me to draw two extra cards." She looked at the card she just drew and smirked. "Now I summon Amazoness Tiger in attack mode!" she paused as a tiger, much like Bass, appeared next to her Swordswoman, growling loudly, (ATK: 1100/DEF: 1500)
"This kitty gains 400 attack points for every monster on the field that has Amazoness in it's name," Tania reminded him, "She just loves company," (ATK: 1100-1900)
"Now that's one mean kitty!" said Tuffnut.
"Yeah, I want one," said Ruffnut.
Astrid frowned, "How about we try and not sound quite so impressed, shall we?" she hissed.
Heather smirked at her. "Is someone jealous?" She teased.
"Shut up," Astrid groaned, but she blushed nonetheless.
Tania then pulled out a card with a picture of Amazoness Swordswomen's soul blasting an enemy soldier. "And I activate Amazoness Blast and thanks to this you take damage equal to the number of star my Amazoness monster X 200!"
Suddenly the souls of both Swordswoman and Tiger appeared and slammed into Hiccup, bring him to his knees.
Hiccup: 1000
Tania: 600
"And now the second effect of my card activated increasing my life point equal to the damage you just took."
The sprits of both her monsters then surrounded her.
Hiccup: 1000
Tania: 1800
"Oh, man," said Fishlegs. "Now she has more life points."
"And she's not though yet," Ragnar added grimly.
"Now, Amazoness Swordswoman, attack Hiccup directly!" Tania ordered.
Her Swordswoman rushed at Hiccup, who had a smirk on his face.
"Did you forget my facedown card, because I'm activating it now Dragon Knight Reinforcements!" Hiccup declared as one of his facedowns revealed itself, "Now I look at the top card of my deck and if it's a monster I'm able to summon it!"
"All down to the luck of the draw, huh?" said Tania crossing her arms.
"I don't depend on luck," said Hiccup.
"With the right monster he may be able to survive this," said Wolflegs.
Hiccup drew the top card of his deck and looked at it and a small smile appeared on his face. "Come on out Dragon Knight Meatlug!"
Then the husky female night appeared on the field in a defence position. (ATK: 1300/ DEF: 2000)
Amazoness Swordswoman slammed her sword against Meatlug's armour and it shattered.
"I'm sorry," Tania smile, "but Swordswoman's special ability transfers all battle damage to you. So, you may wanna duck now."
Hiccup didn't even have enough time to blink as the broken blade dove through him, taking a chunk of Life Points away.
Hiccup: 500
Tania: 1800
"Guess it's time to put up my dukes," Hiccup groaned as the Arena activated again. Both souls appeared on the field again.
"Let's go!"
"Bring it!"
Hiccup: 400
Tania: 1800
For the umpteenth time, their souls appeared and fiercely clashed with one another, slugging one another hard in the face.
Hiccup: 400
Tania: 1700
"What's he doing?!" Ragnar asked, desperate for an answer.
"If this keeps up, Hiccup's gonna lose!" Fishlegs whimpered.
"Maybe not," Woflegs mused, "Maybe he's fallen under Tania's spell, just like Speedfist did."
Speedfist shook his head, "No, it's love! Pure love, just like the wind-driven snow! Right Tania?!"
The Amazon rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever lover-boy," she glared at Hiccup, "Let's get on with this! Amazoness Tiger, attack Meatlug!" she ordered.
The very large tiger roared and pounced Meatlug, it's claws and teeth scraping along Meatlug's thick. Sadly, the attack failed and Tania was hit with her own damage.
Hiccup: 400
Tania: 1600
"What the-?" Snotlout blinked in disbelief, "Why would Tania attack a monster with more defence points?"
"Simple…" Astrid leaned forward, "So she can use the Arena's effect for herself again."
Indeed, that is what Tania wanted, because the two souls flew into the air and punched hard, sort of like some kind of arch-enemies in some older anime series. After the blows, both duelists landed back in their bodies, a little weakened from the attacks.
Hiccup: 200
Tania: 1400
"He's still in there…" said Snotlout with a nod.
"For now," Wolflegs murmured.
"Now, I'll activate the Spell card called Amazoness Trainer to seal your fate!" Tania inserted her card into her disk, and her Tiger's power went up by 400 points. (ATK: 1900-2300)
"Since she played that Amazoness Trainer card, if her Tiger didn't destroy a monster before, it can try again, this time with a power boost," Woflegs explained to the questioning looks of his comrades.
Hiccup glared at Tania, "What's the hold up?!" he demanded.
"Oh, you know honey, just enjoying the moment," Tania shrugged slightly, "After all, this will be our anniversary. Amazoness Tiger, attack once more!" she barked.
"I activate Meatlug's special ability," said Hiccup the place a card in his Graveyard. "By discarding one card my hand to the graveyard I can negate her destruction."
"Won't do you any good, because my Arena will take the remainder of your life points," Tinai pointed out.
"I'm afraid not, because the car I discarded was my Dragon Knight Emblem and when this card sent to the graveyard I can look through my deck and pick out a monster with 'Dragon Knight' in its name." Hiccup began looking for his deck. "And I choose Dragon Knight Iggy and I can send him to the graveyard to regain 500 light points."
The moment he sent Iggy to the graveyard a young Dragon Knight appeared over his head. He looks similar to Sharpshot, but his armour was orange instead of green and Hiccu felt his life points restoring.
Hiccup: 700
Tania: 1700
Amazoness Tiger then bounced off Meatlug.
"Then let's rumble," said Tiana as the Arena activated again. Both souls appeared on the field again.
"With pleasure," said Hiccup.
Hiccup: 600
Tania: 1600
For tense moment their souls battled with one another each dealing a blow to the other.
Hiccup: 500
Tania: 1500
She grinned at Hiccup, "Playing hard to get, huh?" she panted, "I like that."
"Not really," Hiccup shot back. "I'm just trying to win and end this, despite this being an all-out duel."
Fishlehs looked at the two opponents, "Ya know… I gotta admit, I'm liking this duel too. It's non-stop action!"
"I think that's exactly what Hiccup's going for, Fishlegs," Wolflegs mused, "To beat her at her own game."
"I guess," Snotlout muttered, "unless he's trying to impress her. Maybe this Tania girl is Hiccup's type."
"Why don't you just shut it, Snotlout?" Astrid snapped, causing Snotlout to almost fall over in his seat. "There's no way Hiccup would date that thing, and in case you've forgotten, this is more than just love. If Hiccup doesn't get a miracle draw, Tania's gonna get another Spirit Gate Key! Not to mention Speedfist's gonna spend the rest of his life in some lame love limbo! There's a lot riding on Hiccup's shoulders this move."
"Sounds like someone is jealous," Ruffnut teased.
"What was that?" Astrid asked with narrowed eyes.
"Nothing…" Ruffnut said quickly.
"You've fought well, Hiccup," Tania praised, "But the only monster you all-out attack is my Tiger and even if you succeed in beating her you have to content with my Swordswoman. Remember her ability to make you suffer the damage you deal to her. Face it, you can't win."
"Actually I think I can," said Hiccup. "And I'll start by switching Meatlug into attack mode." Tania stared at him curiously as Meatlug got to her feet. "Now I activate my facedown card, Maces and Talons!"
Hiccup's facedown card revealed itself to be a track card with an image of some strange kind of board game on it.
"What will that do?" Tania asked.
"Hopefully win the game for me," said Hiccup as he began searching through his deck. "Firstly, I have to choose one monster, one spell and one track card from my deck then I placed them facedown on the field."
Hiccup places three chosen cards in his Spell in Trap Card Zone. "Now you have to choose one of these cards and depending on which type it is an effectual activate. If it's a Monster Card than the attack point of one monster on the field is increased by the attack point of the monster I placed facedown, but at the end of the turn the monsters owner takes damage equal to the original attack point of the card, if it's a Spell Card I have to skip my next turn, but if it's a Trap Card then you have to skip your turn."
"So it all comes down to a game of chance?" said Tania.
"I hope Hiccup knows what he's doing," said Ragnar.
"It all comes down to this," said Wolflegs.
Tania looked at the facedown cards on the field. "I choose the card from the left," she said pointing.
Hiccup press the button on his Duel Disk and slowly the card began to rise. Everyone was on the edge of their seats and then the card revealed itself to be Windshear.
"Looks like you chose a monster meaning Meatlug gains points equal to Windshear's attack points," said Hiccup.
Meatlug roared as a massive surge of energy entered into a body. (ATK: 1300-3200)
"All right, his move paid off," Ragnar cheered.
Astrid nodded slowly. "This is it! Meatlug can finish her off!"
"And I'm back down to earth," Speedfist chirped, startling some of the others nearby, "I can duel passionately, without being in love! Now, go get her Hiccup and win this match for us both!"
Meatlug charge straight towards Amazoness Tiger and then swung one of her massive fists right into her destroying her instantly.
Hiccup: 500 (Winner!)
Tania: 0
"It's over…" Speedfist sighed in relief.
"Never," Gobber slowly shook his head, "Have I seen two duellists fight with such passion."
"So tell us, Speedfist, how do you feel?" Wolflegs asked. "Like a man still in the throes of love? Or has this duel finally helped you rebound?"
"Still in love… but in love now, with duelling. I see where the passion lies once again."
Hiccup looked at his opponent, sighing in relief. "Glad that's over. Despite the circumstances, that was a fun duel. I wouldn't mind a rematch."
Tania sat down and shook her head, "No rematch. I joined the Shadow Riders to find a husband… a duellist who was worthy of being my husband. But I've discovered that I am not worthy of being with someone as strong as you."
Hiccup raised an eyebrow at her as the Arena disappeared, "Tania?"
What happened next, may have freaked a few of them out. Tania began to glow with a purple light and soon, she fell onto all fours, her hair growing longer and white fur with black stripes grew out of her flesh. Soon, in her place, was a giant white tiger with two scars over its right eye.
"A tiger?!" Fishlegs stared in shock.
Speedfist rubbed his eyes, "Tania? Is that really you?"
The white tiger seemed to look straight at him, 'Farewell Speedfist…'
Tania turned around and headed towards the exit with Bass, leaving behind her black gauntlet that Hiccup picked up.
"Well that's… that I suppose…" said Speedfist at a loss for words.
"You sure know how to pick 'em, Speedfist," said Snotlout, patting the Ra on the back.
"Hey, don't worry…" Hiccup assured the Ra. "There's other fish in the sea!"
"But not too many tigers… thank Thor," Speedfist added.
Dragon Knight Iggy
