Authors Note:
Welcome to my ''new'' short story.
This is a redux of Shadow of the Snake.
Now this story follows Ushiwaka a Duelist who first appeared in The Elder Scrolls Tournament, this story takes place before The Elder Scrolls Tournament.
Also I don't use the ban list but I will use the official rules of the TCG.
Now for some legal stuff, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Yu-Gi-Oh is owned by Konami and so all credits goes to Konami and the creators of the OCG and TCG.
My name is Ushiwaka, I am a Duelist at a local Duel Academy, it isn't as big as the first Duel Academy ever build, think more of a luxurious villa surrounded by a huge forest and a lake.
The only two reasons I am here are for the peace and quiet and my adoptive sister Rao, the situation with Rao is a bit complicated.
Now I don't expect you to remember any of this, most people forget about me and that is just the way I like it.
1. A Day at Duel Academy.
It was a nice, sunny and warm day at one of Japan's many Duel Academies, this particular Duel Academy was placed in the center of a lush forest. Lessons were suspended because of the hot weather. A lone man sat under a huge tree in the middle of the forest, he had his hands behind his head, the young man was enjoying the peace of the forest, it was quiet the only thing you could hear was the sound of birds chirping, the young man had shoulder-length black hair, at the moment he had his eyes closed, but if open you could see his greenish eyes, this man was twenty-four years old, he was wearing a black, sleeveless shirt and blue shorts, lying next to the kid were a yellow, sleeveless jacket belonging to the Ra Yellow Dorm and a custom-made Duel Disk, the Duel Disk's base was round and black with red linings, it had a foldable V-shaped blade with red linings distinguishing the different card zones, the Extra Deck was placed at the back of the base above the Graveyard, Field Spells could be put above the Deck Holder which was positioned at the side of the Disk's base, now this Disk had the auto-search system - a card reader - inside the Deck holder, normally these things weren't cheap but this one was quite handy with technology, he had build this Duel Disk himself.
He was too old to be a student he was a prodigy in Duel Monsters it looked like he was lazy, once he started talking Duel Monsters he was passionate now he was graduated when he was sixteen now he was in the advanced class, normally people graduated when they were eighteen only those who showed great promise were allowed in the advanced class, people who graduated there often ended up teaching themselves or in the higher ranks of a Dueling League.
'Well, well, well look what we have here, if it isn't Ushiwaka.' A rough voice broke the silence, Ushiwaka who sat against the tree slowly opened his eyes, three people stood before him, the one who had spoken was a taller-than-average and very muscular man, he was completely bald and he wore a standard Obelisk Blue uniform with sleeves, the second one was a rather short and fat kid, he was also wearing a standard Obelisk Blue uniform only his was unbuttoned he had short spiky hair, the last one was a girl, wearing the girls version of the Obelisk Blue uniform, she had long, chestnut-colored hair tied into a ponytail.
'Kiryu I already made myself clear the last time, I won't modify your Duel Disk and you can't date my sister.' Ushiwaka spoke looking at the big, muscular guy. 'Ushiwaka I am here with a different reason.' Kiryu stated, he grabbed Ushiwaka by his shirt and pulled him up, Ushiwaka sighted quickly he kicked Kiryu against his leg, this made Kiryu let Ushiwaka go, the latter quickly grabbed the wrist of Kiryu and turned his arm on his back. 'Let go punk! You're gonna break my arm!' Kiryu cried, Ushiwaka released Kiryu's wrist.
'You might think you are something Ushiwaka, earning the respect of all the teachers, so I am here to take that glory from you, you will Duel me but we Duel with an ante, your fancy Duel Disk and when I beat you I can date your sister.' Ushiwaka slowly shook his head. 'Not interested.'
Kiryu gritted his teeth, then he took a wire with a claw at each end from his belt he threw one of the claws at Ushiwaka's Duel Disk, the other claw he attached to his own Duel Disk. 'If you don't Duel me I disconnect the wire and when that happens it fries your Duel Disk.
Ushiwaka sighted but he put the Duel Disk around his wrist and activated it, then Kiryu did the same. 'Yo Yoshino, Sai wanna join me in my glory?' Kiryu snickered, the girl named Yoshino and the small, fat guy named Sai both activated their Duel Disks.
Ushiwaka drew his first five cards. 'You know what, I'll give each of you one whole turn then this Duel is over.' Sai and Yoshino looked at Kiryu who shrugged. 'You're a bit cocky, but that will soon be over.' Kiryu grinned.
Ushiwaka wasn't worried in the slightest, he started out as a Slifer Red student, but halfway his first year he promoted to Ra Yellow because he defeated the third- and second best Slifer Red students in a two-on-one Duel then he defeated the Slifer Red number one student with the remaining Life Points from the Duel against the numbers two and three.
A day later he completely wasted the Slifer Red headmaster.
At the end of the first year he was promoted to Obelisk Blue due to outstanding test results, but Ushiwaka stayed true to Ra Yellow, the dorm rooms were big enough to live in, not much to clean and it was quiet, the Obelisk Blue dorms were always busy because of their private Duel arena and those dorm rooms were two stories so a lot to clean, with Ushiwaka's current skill level he could have been the Duel Academy champion but that was too much effort accepting all the challenges, no Ushiwaka was best in Ra Yellow.
'So Ushiwaka, be ready to lose it all!' Kiryu roared. 'Duel!' All four of them shouted.
(Kiryu: 8000, Yoshino: 8000 & Sai: 8000) - (Ushiwaka: 8000)
'I'll start this Duel.' Kiryu said, he took two cards from his hand. 'First I summon Gene-Warped Warwolf!' With a loud roar a white figure came running onto the Field, it was a humanoid beast-like creature with four arms covered in white fur, the creature snarled at Ushiwaka. (2000 ATK)
'I shall set this Magic Cylinder, when he attacks he gets the attack right back in his face.' Kiryu snickered as he played the second card he picked, it appeared behind the Warwolf. 'I end my turn.'
Ushiwaka drew his card he looked at it then added the card to his hand. 'I set a monster.' Ushiwaka stated, a horizontally placed card appeared in front of him. 'Turn end.'
'Are you taking us seriously?' Yoshino asked slightly irritated, she looked over her hand. 'I summon the Harpie Queen!' A human-looking woman with bird-like claws for hands and feet appeared, she had wings attached to the back of her arms, long green hair tied in a ponytail, she wore a revealing, blue outfit covering only the private parts, her legs were almost entirely covered with the same fabric, she screeched loudly. (1900 ATK)
'Harpie Queen attacks the defending monster!' Yoshino commanded, Ushiwaka's face-down card disappeared and in its place appeared a man with red skin he wore nothing more then a green cloth tied around its waist and a green hat, he had long black hair tied in a ponytail and a black beard. (500 DEF) the claw of Harpie Queen made quick work of the man.
'Since Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu was flipped, I can add an Equip Spell to my hand.' Ushiwaka explained, the card searcher in his Duel Disk worked as a card slipped from his Deck, it was Shooting Star Bow - Ceal.
'Now Warwolf attacks directly!' Yoshino continued, Warwolf let out a snarl then leaped at Ushiwaka knocking him down, the creature foamed a bit as he viciously clawed at Ushiwaka, the latter barely managed to kick the beast away.
(Kiryu: 8000, Yoshino: 8000 & Sai: 8000) - (Ushiwaka: 8000- 6000)
'My turn.' Ushiwaka said, he drew his card: 'I set a Monster and I end my turn.' Another defending Monster appeared before him.
'He really doesn't take us seriously.' The small, fat guy named Sai huffed, he drew his card. 'First I activate Double Summon.' Sai hissed, a Spell card briefly appeared on the Field. 'Now I Summon two Archfiend Soldiers!' Two well-known Fiends with purple skin appeared, they had curved horns on their head and wore a green cloak, they held a sword in their hand. (1900 ATK x2)
'Kiryu has something set, well I just add to that with my Mirror Force.' Sai thought, he quickly played the card, it appeared behind one of the Archfiend Soldiers. 'Now my Archfiend Soldier destroy that hidden monster of his!' Before Ushiwaka another Kotetsu appeared. (500 DEF) The sword of the Fiend made quick work of the poor blacksmith, another card slipped from Ushiwaka's Deck this time it was Mage Power.
'Harpie Queen, my second Archfiend Soldier and Warwolf direct attack!' Sai huffed, first Harpie Queen grabbed Ushiwaka's arms with her claws, then Archfiend Soldier hit him with his sword followed by Warwolf biting Ushiwaka.
(Kiryu: 8000, Yoshino: 8000 & Sai: 8000) - (Ushiwaka: 6000- 200)
'My turn again.' Ushiwaka said with a sigh as he drew his card. 'Now you've all had a turn, you nearly got me, but playtime is over.' Ushiwaka took a card from his hand. 'I summon Armed Samurai - Ben Kei.' Before Ushiwaka appeared a man he wore a white headdress, a white shirt with a black vest over it and white pants, on his back he carried a huge basket filled with all kind of weapons, in his hands he held even more weapons. (500 ATK)
'Really?' Yoshino sighted.
'He really doesn't take us seriously.' Sai hissed.
'I'm sick of this, just end your turn and I can end this!' Kiryu shouted.
'Won't happen, first I activate Giant Trunade!' Ushiwaka played his Spell card, a gigantic storm blew away the Mirror Force and the Magic Cylinder. 'Now I equip Ben Kei with Axe of Despair.' In the basket on the warrior's back appeared the axe with the demonic face etched in the hilt. (500- 1500 ATK)
'Next I equip him with Gravity Axe - Grarl.' Ushiwaka continued, another weapon appeared in the basket, this time a dual-bladed battle-axe, Ben Kei became even stronger. (1500- 2000 ATK)
'Then I equip Ben Kei with Shooting Star Bow - Ceal.' For the third time a weapon appeared in the basket, this time a fancy-looking bow and a couple of arrows, Ben Kei became weaker. (2000- 1000 ATK)
'Finally I equip Ben Kei with two Mage Power.' Two more Spell cards appeared before Ushiwaka. 'This increases the Attack Points of Ben Kei by 500 points for each Spell and Trap I control.' Now the attack of Ben Kei skyrocketed. (1000- 6000 ATK)
'Listen you three.' Ushiwaka said: 'Now it gets interesting, due to Shooting Star Bow - Ceal Ben Kei can attack directly, now here is the interesting thing he can attack additional times, since there are five Equip cards he can attack five times plus the standard attack for six direct attacks total.'
The three students looked at Ushiwaka who simply grinned, then in a violent tornado of dust and weapons Ben Kei went loose on the three Obelisk Blue students.
(Kiryu: 8000- 0, Yoshino: 8000- 0 & Sai: 8000- 0) - (Ushiwaka: 200)
Kiryu was looking at his Duel Disk, the wire he used disconnected but an awful lot of smoke came from his Duel Disk, quickly he detached the thing from his wrist and threw it away on the grass, there the Disk exploded. 'Uh Kiryu.' Yoshino slowly said: 'That Duel Disk was school property and you just completely destroyed it.' She pointed out.
'Darn, you're right! I expected the three of us could easily knock him out! Guys if the teachers find this out we're done for, we need to hide this Duel Disk!' Kiryu started to run, Yoshino closely followed, Sai quickly snatched the Duel Disk from the ground then he ran off after the other two.
On a different location on the Duel Academy D-Wheel circuit, a young girl was cleaning a D-Wheel, the girl was sixteen years old, she had bright, green eyes, long brown hair she normally wore in a ponytail, now she wore it loose, she was wearing a pink top leaving her midriff bare, for the rest she wore a white mini-skirt and brown sandals, this girl was Rao, the sister of Ushiwaka, well not real sister, but Rao rather not talked about her past, the D-Wheel she was cleaning was one she had build with the help of Ushiwaka, it was a pink D-Wheel with white decorative lines, the model of this D-Wheel was build for speed, it had stabilizers build in.
Suddenly Rao saw the shadow of someone standing behind her, she turned her head only to see a tall man wearing a black trench-coat, despite the hot weather there was no sweat on his face and he seemed not bothered by the heat at all.
The trench-coat wearing man stared at Rao while he was standing perfectly still his arms folded in front of his chest, Rao could see one eye glowing red from under his hood.
'Who are you?' She asked with a slight hint of fear in her voice.
'You'll come with me.' the man spoke in a growling and demanding tone.
'I don't think so, this is Duel Academy I am protected here.' Rao replied, the man simply chuckled, for a second Rao felt light in her head, slowly a black bubble appeared around the two, the man unfolded his arms.
'We're no longer on your Duel Academy.' He growled as he slowly approached Rao, she quickly activated her Duel Disk, which was a standard issued, Obelisk Blue, Duel Academy disk.
'So you want a fight?' The man scoffed, he showed his hand five cards appeared in mid-air he grabbed them. 'In that case I activate my Field Spell, Field of Mirrors!'
Surrounding the man and Rao many small mirrors appeared, they all stood on decorative pedestals, behind the man appeared five mirrors, those mirror were surrounded by a golden frame, suddenly a rather large mirror appeared on the exact center of the Field, the man stood on top of the richly decorated frame that held the mirror, a black, swirling mist was visible in all of the mirror.
'Listen girl, I was tasked to take you to my boss, so you have the honor to face the great Susanoo in combat!'
(Susanoo: 8000) - (Rao: 8000)
'Now I normal summon the Mirror's Warden.' Susanoo really started his turn, a second card disappeared from his hand, one of the smaller mirrors behind him cracked, then a gigantic fist punched through the glass, a rather large creature stepped out of the mirror, it was a demonic creature with a skeletal face, standing twice the size of Susanoo, it wore a medieval-looking armor covered in reflective plating, the moment it stepped out of the mirror a gigantic sword and shield materialized in mid-air the creature took them, it swung the sword over its shoulder. (2000 ATK)
'I end my turn.' Susanoo said with a slight grin.
Rao was confused she had never heard of this Field Spell or the Mirror's Warden. 'My turn.' Rao said, she slowly drew her card. 'Let's see, I summon Chocolate Magician Girl.' A young-looking girl appeared she was wearing a blue, midriff-revealing top with a wide collar and a matching mini-skirt with a pink belt and a heart-shaped buckle, under the skirt she wore tights and boots covering nearly her entire legs, for the rest she wore blue gloves with pink accents and a pointy hat that matched her gloves, as a weapon she held a short staff, she also had long light-blue hair and two wings. (1600 ATK)
Suddenly one of the mirrors behind Susanoo violently started to shake, the glass cracked and to Rao's surprise an almost exact copy of Chocolate Magician Girl crawled out, the difference between the two, the hair of the copy was completely white, her eyes were red, the wings were more demonic in appearance, the blue was black and the pink was red, the staff was replaced by a large cane with a skull on top of it, the mirror behind the creature crumbled. (1600 ATK)
'What the hell did you do?' Rao shouted.
'Simple.' Susanoo replied: 'Whenever you summon a monster Field of Mirrors allows me to Summon a mirrored version of your Monster.' He explained.
'Anyway.' Rao said: 'I use the effect of Chocolate Magician Girl, I discard a Dark Magician Girl from my hand to draw a card.' Rao quickly discarded the card then she drew a new one. 'Next I set one card.' She continued, taking a different card from her hand, the card appeared behind Chocolate Magician Girl. 'I end my turn.'
'You still think you stand a chance against the great Susanoo?' The man in black drew his card. 'Now I release the Mirror Chocolate Magician Girl and I advance summon Warlock of the Mirror!' With a giggling laughter the mirror version of Rao's Monster disappeared in her place a woman wearing white robes appeared, the robes showed the feminine figure of the Warlock, her long black hair came from under the hood, her prying red eyes were the only visible thing of her face, the moment the Warlock appeared, a long, wooden staff with a red orb on top materialized in mid-air she grabbed it. (2000 ATK)
'I activate the Effect of Warlock, by removing one Mirror Counter from Field of Mirrors, I can deal 1000 Points of Damage to my opponent.' Warlock turned around facing the big mirror Susanoo stood on, the swirling mist slowly came out of the mirror, the mist disappeared into the orb, then the Warlock pointed the staff at Rao, a black beam shot out of the staff striking Rao in the chest.
(Susanoo: 8000) - (Rao: 8000- 7000)
Rao clutched her chest, the beam did really hurt. 'What was that? This wasn't the attack of a hologram.' She muttered.
'Of course it wasn't!' Susanoo laughed: 'The black barrier around us placed us in the domain of darkness! Any damage is real, any Monster we summon is real!' Rao stood up.
'Now Warlock of the Mirror attacks Chocolate Magician Girl! Reflective Blast!'
The Warlock pointed her staff at the Magician Girl. 'I activate the effect of Chocolate Magician Girl!' Rao shouted: 'Once per turn when my Chocolate Magician Girl is attacked I can special summon a Spellcaster from my Graveyard!' Chocolate Magician Girl pointed her staff at the ground a burst of bubbles shot up from the ground. 'I special summon Dark Magician Girl!' Slowly the bubbles popped creating small rainbows around the field, one of the most famous Duel Monsters stood between the bubbles and rainbows, a young-looking woman with long blond hair, wearing a blue outfit with pink accents, a pink cape and a half miniskirt, a blue and pink pointed hat, blue and pink boots and matching gloves in her hand she held a staff, she winked at Rao before focusing at Susanoo. (2000 ATK)
One of the mirrors behind Susanoo cracked, an evil-looking version of Dark Magician Girl leaped out, the blue was replaced by red and the pink by black for the rest her skin was more tanned. (2000 ATK)
'Now.' Rao continued: 'Your Warlock is forced to attack Dark Magician Girl and the attack power of your Monster is halved.' Warlock pointed her staff at Dark Magician Girl. (Warlock: 2000- 1000 ATK)
A black beam shot from the red orb Dark Magician Girl on her turn aimed her staff at the Warlock a black beam shot from her staff as well, the beam of Dark Magician Girl broke through the beam of Warlock, striking Warlock in her chest, with a gasp the woman in white fell of the ground and scattered.
(Susanoo: 8000- 7000) - (Rao: 7000)
Susanoo didn't seem fazed by the attack, he merely scratched his chest.
'In that case Mirror Dark Magician Girl attacks Dark Magician Girl!' Susanoo commanded. 'Then I activate my Trap card!' Rao shouted as the two beams of the two Dark Magician Girls clashed, Rao's face-down card opened up. 'Black Illusion! This turn Dark Magician Girl cannot be destroyed by battle.' Rao explained, the beam of her Dark Magician Girl broke through, the fake Dark Magician Girl fell on the ground and disappeared.
Two new mirrors appeared behind Susanoo to fill the two gaps that were there. 'Warden of the Mirror attacks Chocolate Magician Girl!' Warden ran up to its target with great speed, with one slash of it's massive sword Chocolate Magician Girl fell down and disappeared.
(Susanoo: 7000) - (Rao: 7000- 6600)
'Now I set one card and I end my turn.' Susanoo stated, a reversed card appeared in the open space behind Mirror's Warden.
'It's my turn.' Rao stated, she quickly drew her card. 'I activate the Spell card Sage's Stone!' A green pentagram appeared on the ground, a black stone appeared in mid-air, Dark Magician Girl looked at it then touched it with her staff. 'I Special Summon Dark Magician from my Deck!' Out of the green pentagram rose probably the most famous Duel Monster in history, the male magician clad in purple, the ace Monster of Yugi Muto. (2500 ATK)
Then out of one of the mirrors the evil-looking version of Dark Magician appeared, the purple was changed to red, this was in fact the Dark Magician Arkana had used against Yugi. (2500 ATK)
'Now the thing is Dark Magician is pretty rare, the only one available for a long period of time was the Dark Magician Yugi used, later one of the Rare Hunters Arkana used a twisted version of the Dark Magician, however that copy was believed to be destroyed, Yugi did win it as an ante following the rules of Battle City however that card was never seen after that. After Yugi stopped Dueling the popularity of both Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl increased, when the new CEO of Industrial Illusions took over from Pegasus he wanted to create more Dark Magician cards along with more Dark Magician Girl and Blue-Eyes White Dragon support, however Kaiba payed a great deal to keep his cards exclusive. The Magician cards were prizes for several tournaments both me and Ushiwaka won one set and I managed to get my hands on a third set, a set that was won by an European Duelist from an European tournament, the guy didn't have any use for the cards and wanted them to be in the hands of a skilled Duelist, when I got in contact with him he recognized me from TV from the tournament I won my set in, he agreed to donate his Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl to me, however I got three of each there are only six total of the set in the world seven if you count Yugi's two but these cards travel around the world from museum to museum.'
Rao looked over her hand. 'I discard my Lemon Magician Girl so I can special summon Apprentice Illusion Magician!' As soon as Rao had discarded her card in an explosion of bubbles appeared a new Spellcaster, she had long sand-colored hair and an outfit that resembled the one Dark Magician Girl wore, it was purple and pink colored, she held a short staff in her hand. (2000 ATK)
The mirror version of the Monster was largely the same only it had red eyes, silver-colored hair, two bat-like wings and a red and black outfit instead of purple and pink. (2000 ATK)
'Through the effect of Apprentice Illusion Magician I add Dark Magician to my hand.' Rao took her Deck and she searched out Dark Magician, Ushiwaka was building her a new Duel Disk same style as he had, but is was not quite done yet.
'Next I activate Dark Burning Magic, when I control Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl I can destroy all cards my opponent controls.' Rao explained the two Magicians put their rods together.
'I can't let you do that.' Susanoo replied, his Trap card spun around. 'I activate Mirror Explosion! By releasing one Monster with Mirror in the name all cards on the Field are Destroyed!' Mirror Dark Magician disappeared into the big mirror then lightning struck all the Monsters on the Field. 'Due to Mirror's Warden Field of Mirrors cannot be destroyed.' Susanoo said as his Field Spell was the only thing left standing, slowly five new mirrors reformed behind Susanoo.
'In that case I Normal Summon Apple Magician Girl.' Rao stated, in a flurry of bubbles a new Monster appeared, another young girl wearing a dark-red tunic with a hole in it showing her bellybutton, she wore matching knee-hight boots and elbow-length gloves and a pointed hat that all the Magician Girls wore, she had shoulder-length blue hair and pink fairy-like wings. (1200 ATK)
The mirror version that appeared had white hair red eyes, a black top covering only her breasts, a black miniskirt, matching knee-high boots and elbow-length gloves, pointed hat and bat-like wings. (1200 ATK)
'I end my turn there.' Rao stated.
Susanoo silently drew his card. 'During my Standby Phase when Field of Mirrors doesn't have a Counter one Mirror Counter is placed on Field of Mirrors.' The black swirling mist appeared back inside the big mirror.
'Now my Mirror Apple Magician Girl attacks the real one!' Susanoo shouted.
'Then I activate the Effect of Apple Magician Girl! I Special Summon Dark Magician Girl from my hand!' As Dark Magician Girl reappeared on the Field so did the mirror version of the monster. (2000- 2300 ATK x2)
'The attack of Mirror Apple Magician Girl is redirected to Dark Magician Girl and the attack of the attacking Monster is halved!' Mirror Apple Magician Girl became weaker. (1200- 600 ATK) Then got struck down by the spells of Dark Magician Girl.
(Susanoo: 7000- 5300) - (Rao: 6600)
'I activate the Effect of Field of Mirrors.' Susanoo stated, the fog in the big mirror disappeared, then the reflection of Apple Magician Girl became visible. 'By removing the Mirror Counter whenever my Mirror Monster gets destroyed, if the original version is still under control of my opponent the original gets destroyed!' Rao gasped as her Apple Magician Girl suddenly exploded in pixels. 'Then I activate the Effect of Apple Magician Girl when she is destroyed I can take up to three Magician Girls with different names from my Graveyard.' Rao explained, two cards slipped from her Graveyard they were Dark Magician Girl and the Lemon Magician Girl she had discarded earlier.
'A minor setback, well I move to my Main Phase two.' Susanoo growled ending his Battle Phase.
'Now I Normal Summon Mirror Spell Wizard!' One of the mirrors behind Susanoo shattered a man completely covered in black robes and a hood appeared, the man wore a mirror medallion around his neck. (0 ATK)
The Wizard touched the medallion it started to glow and slowly changed into a Mirror Dark Magician Girl. (2000- 2300 ATK)
'My turn is done.' Susanoo stated.
Rao drew her card. 'I activate the Spell card Dark Magic Veil!' A purple pentagram appeared in the sky, purple light shone out of it.
'I pay thousand life points so I can special summon a Dark Magician from my hand!' Out of the pentagram dropped the Spellcaster, on Susanoo's Field appeared the red, evil version of the Spellcaster. (2500 ATK x2)
(Susanoo: 5300) - (Rao: 6600- 5600)
'Now I normal summon Lemon Magician Girl!' Rao continued, next to the Dark Magician Girl appeared a younger Spellcaster with blond hair and fairy-like wings, she wore an outfit similar to that of Dark Magician Girl, she had an heart-shaped buckle on her belts, black, tights and white knee-high socks in each ear she wore an earring that looked like the level stars on top of a Duel Monster card, this resembled the fact she was a level two Spellcaster. (800 ATK)
Out of one of the mirror's on Susanoo's side appeared a white-haired version of Rao's Monster, her outfit was yellowish green the Mirror Version had bat-like wings instead of fairy wings. (800 ATK)
'Now I use the effect of Lemon Magician Girl, I release my Dark Magician Girl so I can add Apprentice Illusion Magician to my hand.' Dark Magician Girl disappeared with a smile, then Rao took a card out of her Deck and added it to her hand.
'Finally I activate a second Dark Magic Veil so I can Special Summon the Dark Magician Girl I just send to the Graveyard.'
In an eruption of rose petals the Dark Magician Girl reappeared on the Field. (2000 ATK) Since Susanoo's Field was full nothing happened, Rao looked at the Mirror Versions of: Two Dark Magician Girls, Dark Magician, Apple Magician Girl and Lemon Magician Girl.
'Dark Magician attack the Mirror Dark Magician, Dark Magic Attack!' The two Spellcasters fired their magic at the same time. 'I discard Apprentice Illusion Magician from my hand to increase the Attack Points of my Dark Magician by 2000!' Dark Magician gained an incredible boost in power, the Dark Magic Attack overwhelmed the Mirror Dark Magician, an explosion followed and when the dust settled the fake Dark Magician was gone. 'Dark Magician Girl attacks Mirror Apple Magician Girl!' The female Spellcaster fired a black beam from her staff. 'I discard Mirror's Ghost from my hand to negate the Battle Damage.' Susanoo said, as he discarded a Trap card, his Apple Magician Girl exploded but for the rest nothing happened.
(Susanoo: 5300- 3300) - (Rao: 5600- 4600)
'My turn.' Susanoo stated, the black swirling mist reappeared back inside the big mirror he stood on, then the Duelist drew his card.
'I Release my Mirror Dark Magician Girl and I advance summon Mirror's Crusher!' Two gigantic claws came forth out of the mirror, they grabbed the red Dark Magician Girl, then a crocodile-like head came through the mirror devouring the Spellcaster with one bite, what followed was a snake-like body crawling out of the the mirror dragged forward by the creature's huge claws. (2400 ATK)
'Through the effect of Mirror's Crushed I destroy Dark Magician!' The Spellcaster tried to get away but he got grabbed by the reptilian creature, the huge claws tore the Spellcaster apart, both Dark Magician Girls became stronger. (2300- 2600 ATK x2)
'Now Mirror Dark Magician Girl attack Dark Magician Girl!' The two Spellcasters magic met halfway, the swirling mist disappeared from the big mirror, an explosion followed and when the dust cleared only the Mirror Dark Magician Girl was still standing. 'You're wide open, Mirror's Crusher attack directly!' The snake-like monstrosity crawled forward with incredible speed, it lifted Rao from the ground then slammed her back onto the ground, Rao groaned as she slowly stood up, she checked if she had broken anything, but she seemed to be okay.
(Susanoo: 3300) - (Rao: 4600- 2200)
'Next I activate my Mirror Plasma Spell card, this fills up my Monster Zones with Plasma Tokens.' Three mirrors on the Field melted, what remained were three formless blobs made of some weird reflective slime. (0 DEF x3)
'Finally I set one card and I end my turn.' Susanoo stated, a vertically placed card appeared behind Mirror's Crusher.
'My turn.' Rao snarled, she drew her card. 'I activate Monster Reborn and I special summon Dark Magician Girl.' An explosion of petals later and the Spellcaster stood next to Rao again. (2000- 2600 ATK)
'Attack that Mirror's Crusher!' Rao commanded.
'I activate my Trap card, Mirror's Ghost!' Susanoo's card opened up. 'When it is activated from the field, it ends the battle phase and deals five-hundred damage!' Susanoo explained, lightning struck Rao, she staggered back a bit.
(Susanoo: 3300) - (Rao: 2200- 1700)
Susanoo drew his card. 'I now must pay half my life points due to Mirror Plasma or destroy Field of Mirrors.' Susanoo crossed his arms, explosions erupted all around the Duelists, Susanoo leaped off the big mirror as it came crashing down, glass rained all around them.
'Now that Field of Mirrors is destroyed I must pay five-hundred life points for each Mirror Monster destroyed!' Susanoo spread his arms he got struck by lightning five times, all the while he was laughing.
(Susanoo: 3300- 800) - (Rao: 1700)
'And now! I get to special summon Dark Master of the Mirrors!' Behind Susanoo appeared a creature of nightmares, it was a gigantic, black suit of armor, decorated with sharp edges and two gigantic horns on the helmet, two glowing, red eyes were prying from under the helmet, the creature appeared to have no face, the demonic thing drew a huge, double-sided battle-axe from his back, he swung it a few times with it's right hand, attached to the wrist of it's left arm the creature had a huge mirror shield. (? ATK) 'Dark Master gains thousand attack points for each monster destroyed when Field of Mirrors got destroyed.' Susanoo explained, the demon before him let out a terrible roar. (0- 5000 ATK)
'Attack Dark Magician Girl!'
(Susanoo: 800) - (Rao: 1700- 0)
Ushiwaka was just walking back to his dorm when he saw Susanoo driving off with an unconscious Rao tied up on the back of his D-Wheel, Ushiwaka didn't hesitate, first he ran to his room to get his Wakizashi, a traditional Japanese sword that resembled a Katana only shorter. Then he ran to the parking lot where all the D-Wheels were parked.
Rao opened her eyes, she must have been unconscious for some time, she was now in a dark room with nothing in it, she noticed she was tied to a chair, her hands behind her back, her legs tied to the chair legs.
Next time:
Ushiwaka gives chase to Susanoo, but is the Susanoo who kidnapped Rao the real Susanoo, or is there a bigger plot behind it all? Find out next time. ''The First Seal.'' Coming next.
