Exterminating a Parasite Part 2
I don't own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh
"Your infected monsters still can't attack me Wheeler." Weevil told Daisuke.
"Well it's not over yet." She replied calmly.
"Give it up Wheeler, now that my Ultimate Great Moth has emerged you're hope of winning this duel has been squashed, and my Insect Princess has forced your monsters into Attack mode, a few attacks and you'll be finished." He told her.
"Dream on." Tristan told him.
"Clip that moth's wings Dai." Tea added supporting her friend.
"Don't lose your focus Dai, believe in yourself." Kari said with a hopeful look.
"The time has come; Insect Princess destroy Alligator Sword at once." Weevil commanded, his monster obeyed, dashing towards Alligator Sword and kicking it in the face, destroying it and Daisuke crossed her arms as her life-points fell to 2700. "And when my Insect Princess destroys a monster, she gains 500 attack points." Weevil added, his monster returning to his side while her Attack points climbed to 2400.
"Come on Dai, you must have a giant fly swatter in your deck." Tristan said.
"Unfortunately, I left it at home." Daisuke replied with a sigh. "Plus, the only monsters that are able to defeat Weevil's moth are all cards I don't have." She added mentally thinking of the Egyptian God Cards along with cards like the Gate Guardian and Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. "And my Red Eyes Black Dragon is useless because of the parasite preventing me from tributing monsters."
Meanwhile back at the hospital, Kenta and Serenity had been watching the duel and Kenta pushed the tablet and laptop away as he laid on the bed. "Your sister's in a real problem, none of her monsters can attack and that monster Weevil just summoned looks unbeatable. Maybe we should log off now to avoid seeing her lose."
"No way Kenta, Daisuke's going to win and we're not giving up on her." Serenity said.
"How can you be sure?" Kenta asked. "Maybe the best option is to run away and hide."
"Like you did?" She asked him gently, he nodded turning over and looking away from her.
"Some things are just really scary, especially when you have to do them alone. And I don't want my x-ray taken so I'm going to just stay in here." He told her quietly.
Back at the duel, Daisuke's mind was racing trying to think of a plan. "His Insect Princess is going to be a pain to contend with, she gets stronger each time she destroys one of my monsters and his Great Moth is just waiting there to blow me away. Come on deck, don't fail me." She begged, drawing her next card and she saw it and grinned. "I set one card face down. Now it is your turn, so hit me with all ya got!" She taunted.
"Has she lost it?" Willis asked in concern.
"The pressure's finally gotten to her; she's cracked." Tristan replied.
"Unless she's doing what I think she's doing." Solomon muttered.
"I don't think you're smart enough to lay a trap for me. But just in case I'll set this monster in defence mode." Weevil said, the set monster appearing beside his two already in play monsters. "Now Insect Princess time to become stronger, attack Chocolate Magician Girl." He ordered.
"Just as I planned." Daisuke said, Weevil's eyes widened at her sudden declaration. "Chocolate Magician Girl's special ability activates. When she is attacked, I can special summon a spellcaster type monster from my Graveyard and force your princess to attack it instead."
"But the only other spellcaster that you've played is…" Weevil began watching in shock as the Dark Magician returned to the field with a furious expression aimed at Weevil even as he was mutated by the parasite monster behind him.
"That's right, oh did I mention the attacking monster's attack is also halved due to this special ability?" Daisuke cooed with a grin. Weevil's jaw dropped in disbelief, watching as his Insect Princess turned to charge Dark Magician while her attack points were cut in half from 2400 to 1200.
"Alright Dai!" her friends cheered as Dark Magician held his hand out firing a blast of dark magic at Insect Princess shattering her like glass, Weevil whimpered in sadness as his life-points fell from 5700 to 4400.
"My beautiful princess…you'll pay Wheeler, you hear me!" Weevil shouted, shaking his fists at Daisuke. "Ultimate Great Moth destroy her Parasite!" he commanded.
"I see, going for the weakest monster even though it's what's keeping you safe from attacks from my other monsters." Daisuke replied. "However, I knew you'd do that too, reveal Skull Dice!" She said and her first face down card flipped up and the little devil with the red die appeared. "This card reduces the attack of your monster depending on the roll of the die, the higher the number, the weaker your moth gets." She explained as the die stopped rolling landing on a two.
"Only a two, that won't do anything but cut my moth's attack points in half." Weevil said, sure enough his moth let out a screech as its attack points fell to 1750.
"Which means I'll just have to use my second face down card, go Graceful Dice." Daisuke said as her second face down card flipped up, the little angel appearing and rolling the blue die in its hands. "The higher the number on this roll, the stronger my parasite gets ya little termite." She explained.
"Bet you're regretting slipping that card into her deck now, huh Weevil?" Willis asked with a grin.
"It can't be!" Weevil shouted. He was unable to believe that Daisuke had countered two of his strongest monsters all while smiling at him defiantly.
The blue die began rolling across the ground before it came to a stop, landing on a four. "Alright, Parasite Paracide's attack points multiply by four to 2000." Daisuke cheered, her parasite wrapping its slimy tentacles around Weevil's moth and crushing it with ease.
"Great dueling!" Solomon praised with a smile as the others celebrated behind him. Weevil grit his teeth as his life-points fell to 4150.
"Whoa Serenity, your sister just crushed Weevil's Great Moth, and she used the card Weevil snuck into her deck to do it." Kenta told Serenity, the older girl smiling at the news as both continued to watch the duel.
"That's right Weevil, I'm back in this thing." Daisuke said with a grin, she drew a card and passed her turn her three monsters, Dark Magician, Chocolate Magician Girl and Panther Warrior as well as Parasite Paracide posing a strong defence against Weevil.
"My moth, my precious, precious Great Moth you swatted it like a common house fly, you'll pay for that Wheeler!" Weevil vowed, glaring at his opponent.
"Dream on, Weevil maybe next time you duel someone you won't resort to cheating." Daisuke replied.
"You may have won that round using the card I snuck into your deck, but this next move I make shall win the entire duel for me." Weevil said. "First I summon Insect Soldiers of the Sky." He said summoning another insect which was a large flying bug with 1000 Attack points and 800 Defence points. "Next, the magic card Eradicating Aerosol."
"You gonna use that on yourself?" Kari questioned with a glare as the duelist snickered.
"On the contrary, this magic card allows me to destroy any insect monster on the field, and seeing as all your infected monsters are insects, I could wipe one of them out but I have a better plan in mind. I'll use it to destroy my set monster, Pinch Hopper." He explained, his face down monster revealing itself to be a second Pinch Hopper card.
"Once Pinch Hopper is destroyed, Weevil is allowed to special summon any monster to the field." Solomon explained to Tristan and Tea.
"That's right, Eradicating Aerosol destroy my Pinch Hopper!" Weevil ordered, the giant spray can of aerosol appearing behind Pinch Hopper and spraying it.
"Sacrificing your own monster like that…you really impress me by how despicable you can be." Daisuke muttered.
"And now to summon a monster whose attack is virtually limitless. I summon the Insect Queen!" Weevil said, playing the card on his duel disk. "She's my rarest card, and she'll be the one to trounce your puny defences." Everyone watched as a gigantic looking insect appeared on the field, seemingly towering over all the other monsters as its wings buzzed as they flapped around, and the monster let out a roar.
"Say goodbye to Battle City!" Weevil told Daisuke as she took in the sight of the giant monster. "If you think my Insect Queen looks dangerous now, just wait until her special ability activates. She gains 200 attack points from every insect monster on the field, yours included!" he explained.
"Of course, my monsters are considered insect monsters because of your parasite." Daisuke muttered, watching as her monsters glowed brightly as did Weevil's insect Queen and the giant insect began to grow even larger.
"So how many points does she gain from the monsters on the field?" Tristan asked.
"Well Dark Magician, Chocolate Magician Girl, Panther Warrior, Parasite Paracide, Insect Soldiers of the Sky, and I'd hazard a guess she counts herself with her ability, so I'd say six monsters." Willis muttered; his eyes then widened when he added up the points.
"That's over a thousand attack points extra!" he and Daisuke shouted at the same time. Weevil laughed as his Insect Queen's Attack points climbed from its original of 2200 to 3400.
"Daisuke be careful, insect cards are tricky, in order to defeat an insect duelist, you need to think like an insect duelist!" Solomon advised her.
"And now, it's time for my beautiful queen to feed. I sacrifice Insect Soldiers of the Sky!" Weevil shouted, the group watching in disgust as his monster picked up the other monster and began devouring it. "She requires a sacrifice in order to attack each turn, but even losing 200 points is of no concern to me." He explained, his Insect Queen's attack falling by 200 points to 3200. "Now my queen attack, destroy Chocolate Magician Girl!" he ordered, his queen firing a stream of acid at the monster.
"This is gonna hurt." Daisuke muttered. She winced as the acid hit her magician dissolving her into a puddle of goo leaving her wand and hat behind.
"Now your magician is bug juice." Weevil said with a mocking giggle. "And you've lost some serious life-points." He added as Daisuke's life-points fell to 1100. "And it gets better."
"The suspense is killing me." Kari muttered, her face turning green as Insect Queen laid an egg.
"Whenever my queen destroys a monster, she lays an egg!" Weevil explained, everyone looking at the egg with Daisuke noticing it had only 100 Attack and Defence points. "These eggs allow her to keep the power even after she's destroyed the monster." He added as Insect Queen's attack points remained at 3400.
"I have to crush those eggs before they hatch, otherwise I'll have a swarm of insects all over me. But with Weevil's Insect Barrier card I can't attack, and if I do summon a monster the parasite will turn them into an insect monster only making his Insect Queen stronger." Daisuke thought, she drew her next card and looked at it. "This will do. I set one card on the field and end my turn."
"She forgot to set her monsters into defence mode." Tea said in worry; however, she and the others noticed a small smile on her face as if she had planned to do it.
"Silly girl, you didn't switch your monsters to defence mode, that means there is nothing to save you from this next attack." Weevil said with a smirk as he drew his next card. "I activate Double Summon, allowing me to summon two monsters this turn, so say hello to Cockroach Knight and a second Insect Soldier of the Sky!"
Both monsters appeared either side of Insect Queen who glowed as her Attack points climbed by 400 points to 3800. "That's not good." Willis said.
"Now Cockroach Knight, feed my queen!" Weevil ordered; his monster being devoured by Insect Queen. "And whenever Cockroach Knight is sent to the graveyard it returns to the top of my deck allowing me to continue to summon it so it can feed my queen. Now Insect Queen destroy her Panther Warrior!"
"Oh no Dai, watch out!" Tea shouted.
"Sorry Weevil, I'm afraid your victory speech is gonna have to wait." Daisuke said shocking Weevil. "You didn't even bother to care about my face down card did ya?"
"A trap card, you forgot to switch your monsters on purpose didn't you!?" Weevil shouted and Daisuke smirked.
"Correctomundo, you win the grand prize. Go Magic Arm Shield!" she said, activating her face down card, the card flipped up and glowed before a pair of arms reached out towards his Insect Soldiers of the Sky. "Magic Arm Shield lets me defend myself using one of your monsters to take the hit." The two arms brought Weevil's monster into the path of Insect Queen's stream of acid and on contact the insect dissolved causing Weevil to scream in misery as his life-points dropped from 4400 to 2000.
"Alright!" Willis and Kari cheered as the others smiled while Daisuke winked at Weevil who only growled in anger.
Insect Queen laid another egg, her attack points remaining at 3400. Back at the hospital Kenta smiled brightly seeing the results appearing on the laptop screen. "Amazing, your sister weaved through another one of Weevil's attacks again." He told Serenity who nodded.
"I knew you could do it big sis." She thought.
"You may have avoided that attack Wheeler, but the second time you won't be so lucky!" Weevil told Daisuke who drew a card. "There's nothing you can do." He told her.
"Not right now, but you haven't won yet. I don't plan on ever losing to a bug like you. I'll set both my monsters to defence mode to defend my life-points." She replied, her Panther Warrior and Dark Magician both crossed their arms and fell to one knee to protect themselves.
"I'll finish this quickly, recognise this card?" Weevil asked, showing the card he just drew. "It's Cockroach Knight." He told her, the monster appearing on the field. "Eat and attack my queen!" he commanded, his Insect Queen devouring the monster. "And now attack Panther Warrior!" he ordered, and his monster launched another jet of acid from her mouth at the monster dissolving it leaving behind only its chest plate and shield.
"I gotta summon another monster to protect myself, but it'll be turned into another insect by Parasite Paracide." Daisuke thought, watching as Insect Queen laid another egg. "And once those eggs hatch, I'm in real trouble."
"Time to hand over your two Locator Cards and head home Wheeler!" Weevil said before he began laughing.
"Don't lose faith in your deck Daisuke, believe in yourself!" Solomon told her.
"You can do this Dai; you've gotten out of tougher scrapes then this!" Tristan added. "And don't forget your sister and brother look up to you, so squash this termite!"
"He's right." Daisuke thought looking up at Weevil with a determined glare. "Daisuke Wheeler never gives up, it's time I put you out of business for good." She told Weevil drawing a card feeling it tingle in her hand, she looked at it and smiled. "I set one card face down, then I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight!"
"Ha yes!" Solomon cheered making the others look to him as the new monster appeared on the field, this was a warrior clad in iron armour from head to toe, gleaming red eyes were all that were visible of the warrior beneath the armour, a shield was attached to his left arm while a long blade was attached to his right arm and he had 1800 Attack points and 1600 Defence points.
"You fool, that monster is going to become bug food for my queen, once my Parasite Paracide turns it into an insect monster it'll be useless to you!" Weevil said as the parasite's tentacles latched onto Gearfried only for him to shrug off the attempted conversion.
"I don't think so." Daisuke replied. "He's Gearfried, the Iron Knight. Your parasite is useless against his metal armour."
"How'd you figure that out!?" Weevil shouted.
"You're a disgrace to all other insect duelists, you didn't do your homework. Parasite Paracide doesn't feed on metal." Daisuke replied. "It's time I take you down, and I'll start with those eggs. Gearfried attack!"
"No!" Weevil screamed, Gearfried dashed under Insect Queen and slashed through one of the eggs with his sword and Weevil's life-points fell to 300.
"While those eggs are waiting to hatch, they're sitting ducks. And since Gearfried can pass through your Insect Barrier, they are perfect targets." Daisuke explained with a grin. "So, tell me Weevil, does your queen like her eggs poached or sunny side up?"
"Enjoy that little victory while you can, nothing is going to save you when I increase my Insect Queen's attack points even further. First off I summon Soldier Ant!" Weevil said playing a monster and a single ant appeared with only 500 Attack points. "Next I play Ant Reproduction, watch as a single ant becomes a small army of them."
"What's the point of all this?" Daisuke asked, watching as the single Soldier Any multiplied into a group of ten.
"I'll explain, the magic card I just played turns a single ant into an army of ten for the length of my turn. I take it you know what's next." Weevil said with a smirk.
"Your queen's going to absorb the power of those ten ants and attack." Daisuke answered, Weevil nodded and laughed as the ten ants glowed before vanishing.
"It's the end of Daisuke Wheeler, Insect Queen destroy her Iron Knight once and for all!" Weevil ordered; Daisuke watched on before she smirked.
"You idiot, I was hoping you'd do just that." Weevil looked at her with wide eyes. "All part of my plan, activate the trap card, Graverobber!"
"Not Graverobber!" Weevil shouted watching as the little imp appeared in front of Gearfried holding up a card.
"Graverobber allows me to use any card in your Graveyard and use it against you. And he just so happened to pick your can of aerosol." Daisuke explained, the card in Graverobber's hand glowing before a hand reached out holding the can of bug spray. "Say goodbye to your queen." She said as the can sprayed all over Insect Queen making it screech before it was destroyed.
"There goes her pest problem!" Willis cheered as the others watched on with smiles.
"What did you do to my precious queen!" Weevil whimpered.
"The same thing I'm going to do to another one of those eggs. Gearfried, attack!" Daisuke commanded, her iron knight nodded and rushed towards another one of Weevil's eggs and cut it in half with his sword.
"Alright Dai!" Kari cheered, sharing a hug with Tea as Weevil's knees wobbled before he fell onto his butt.
"I lost…no, no way this can't be." He whimpered; Daisuke walked over to Weevil without an ounce of pity on her face.
"You know the rules Weevil, hand over your Insect Queen and both your Locator Cards." She told him.
"Have mercy…" he begged as she grabbed his shirt and pulled him to his feet.
"That went out the window when you decided to try and cheat to win the duel. And now just like in Duelist Kingdom, you're out of the tournament." She told him and he slumped in defeat, handing over the cards before he ran away in shame.
"Awesome duel, Dai." She turned to see Kari running over and she caught her friend in a hug.
"Thanks. And thank you guys for cheering me on. I couldn't have done it without you." She told them.
Meanwhile in another part of the city, Yugi was looking at a screen which had been showing Daisuke's duel with Weevil to a few people who were watching, hearing them praise her ability and he smiled. "I knew she could win; I have a feeling she'll be able to help me and Yami save the world." He thought, not noticing the mime he had walked past earlier looking in his direction.
"The time is almost upon us my mind slave, soon we will take down Little Yugi together!" the voice of Marik echoed in his empty mind.
