"Are you ready, George?"

"I was born ready, Fred."

"We decided to make it easy for you. We each have our own field, but we share life points."

"Makes it go faster."

"Yeah, sure. You may think you're the experts at a tag team duel, but you've met your match," Angelina boasted.

"Yeah, we're going all out on you guys," Alicia added.

"Bring it!" Fred and George taunted.

"You can't attack any of my Amazoness monsters except their pet. I end my turn. Let's see what you've got, Fred."

A young woman holding a spear stood tall.

AP: 1200/900 - 1400/900

"My Amazoness Princess is treated just like Amazoness Queen. That means Amazoness monsters I control can't be destroyed by battle. When she's normal or special summoned, I can also add an Amazoness spell or trap from my deck to my hand."

"Very clever, but now I banish VW-Tiger Catapult and XYZ-Dragon Cannon to fusion summon V-to-Z - Dragon Catapult Cannon!"

The two large machines combined into a giant robot.

"It's like Voltron, George."

"No, Fred, it's more like Power Rangers."

"Will you guys get on with it?!" Angelina shouted.

"Okay then, I can banish one of your cards, so I choose the Pet Liger."

A barrage of lasers and missiles vaporized the liger. Angelina was seething.

"I still have a normal summon to conduct. Here comes A-Assault Core."

A very block-shaped machine flew into view and landed next to the Core.

"A monster equipped with this can't be targeted with card effects. And now I attack your Amazoness Trainee with my mighty machine."

The robot swung its massive arm to smash the Amazon. When the dust cleared, she was still standing.

AJ&AS: 6700

"Next up is my Assault Core. Attack the Trainee!"

The new robot fired a laser at the Amazon.

AJ&AS: 6500

"I end my turn," Fred said, with a smug smirk on his face, "Have at it, Alicia."

"I activate the spell Machine Angel Absolute Ritual. I send a level 4 warrior in my hand, and another level 4 warrior in my graveyard, back into the deck, to ritual summon Cyber Angel Dakini."

A tall woman with blue skin and six arms now stood on the field. The two upper arms each held a sword, while the lower arms held a staff.

"When she's ritual summoned, I can destroy one of your monsters, but you get to decide."

Fred and George looked at each other.

"I'll destroy my Dragon Catapult Cannon."

The giant robot disappeared in a flash of light.

"I'll make it up for you, Fred."

"I'd appreciate that, George."

"Enough already! Dakini attacks Assault Core."

The Cyber Angel swung her weapons at the machine.

FW&GW: 7200

"Support Armor is destroyed in its stead, and Assault Core still stands."

"Fine, and now Benten will attack Machiners Sniper since it has to. However, thanks to my continuous spell, only the sniper will be destroyed."

"That would be true," George said, "If your attack connected. I activate my trap Emissaries of Reconciliation (Waboku). I take no battle damge, and my monsters can't be destroyed by battle."

"Darn it...I end my turn."

"I flip up my face-down monster, Machiners Defender."

"I pay 1000 life points so I can attack with my new monster."

"Machiners Force, attack Amazoness Princess!"

The robot fired a barrage of missiles, and just for overkill, also fired its gun.

AJ&AS: 3100

"You did a lot of damage," Angelina said, "But my Amazon still stands!"

"I set a card and end my turn."

"I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards, and then I active the spell Fusion on my Amazoness Princess and Amazoness Trainee to summon Amazoness Empress!"

Amazoness Empress

LV8

Earth

Warrior/Fusion/Effect

2800/2400

A very tall muscular woman covered in skulls and tattoos now came forward. She had a flowing cape and a massive sword.

AE: 2800/2400/ - 3000/2400

"I equip her with Amazoness Treasure (Heirloom), and now she'll attack your Machiners Force. Thanks to Amazoness Fighting Spirit, when they attack a monster with higher attack, my Amazons gain 1000 attack during damage calculation."

AE: 3000/2400 - 4000/2400

"That's not enough though," George said, with a hint of worry in his voice.

The Amazon grabbed her sword and leapt at the machine. It in turn tackled the Amazon. She was knocked away, but her sword stayed embedded in the robot.

AJ&AS: 2300

"After damage calculation, if the monster I attacked is still on the field, it's now destroyed."

Machine Developer: 2 counters

"We lost another giant robot, Fred."

"It makes me very unhappy, George."

"I end my turn," Angelina said, "What'll you do now, Fred?"

"I activate Union Hangar to add another Light Union Machine to my hand. Next, I play Pot of Greed, and then I summon B-Buster Drake."

"I discard a card to banish a card on the field. I choose Amazoness Treasure."

Angelina was staring him down.

"Now I'll attack Benten."

A barrage of missiles were fired at the Angel, but she was still there when the smoke cleared.

AJ&AS: 900

"I activate my Incarnated Machine Angel spell. When I take damage by battle or card effect, I can tribute a Cyber Angel ritual monster from my hand or field to special summon a Cyber Angel from my hand. I tribute Benten to summon Cyber Angel Vishnu."

Cyber Angel Vrash

3000/2000

A tall woman with long black hair now appeared. Her outfit was pink and purple, with white boots and shoulder-pads. On her back were four shiny wings, and a gold circle. She spread out her four arms as if beckoning the twins to attack her.

"When she's ritual summoned, I can destroy face-up monsters you control that were special summoned from the extra deck. And then you take 1000 damage for each. So say goodbye to another giant robot."

A beam of light shot from the Cyber Angel and destroyed the combiner machine.

FW&GW: 5000

Machine Developer: 4 counters

Fred was clearly annoyed, and a bit worried, but he said nothing except, "I end my turn."

"Poor Fred," Alicia said, "All your mighty machines gone. I almost feel sorry for you. Vishnu, attack him directly!"

"No!" George cried, "We're sharing our life points, so as long as I still have a monster on the field, I'll take the attack."

"Very well...attack Commander Covington."

The Cyber Angel gave the machine a swift kick.

FW&GW: 3200

Machine Developer: 6 counters

"Thanks to my spell Machiners Frontline, when a Machine monster of mine is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, I can special summon one machine monster from my deck with the same attribute and less attack than the destroyed monster. I summon Machiners Peacekeeper."

"In attack mode, George?"

"I know your Dakini gives your ritual monsters a piercing effect, so go ahead and attack."

"Destroy the new machine!"

The Cyber Angel swung her weapon down onto the robot.

FW&GW: 1200

Machine Developer: 8 counters

"When my Peacekeeper is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I can add one Union monster from my deck to my hand."

"You're lucky that's all I can do, George. Set up your defenses, because we're about to win!"

"We'll see about that. I summon Machiners Gearframe."

A thin orange robot now stood next to George.

MG: 1800/0 - 2000/0

"It's time we ended this. Time to attack."

"How?" Angelina asked, "Our monsters are stronger and indestructible."

"You forgot about my set card. I activate it now! The quick-play spell Limiter Removal! The attack of all my Machine monsters is doubled! Attack Cyber Angel Dakini!"

MG: 2000/0 -4000/0

The robot grew in size, and then smashed its fist on top of the Cyber Angel.

AJ&AS: 0

"Yeah! Giant robot!" Fred and George cheered.

"This was your fault, Alicia."

"You weren't using your combos correctly, Angelina."

The two girls walked towards each other, glaring daggers...and then hugged.

"We almost pulled it off, didn't we?" Angelina said with a laugh.

"There's always next year to defeat the twins."

"It would take at least four opponents to defeat us!" Fred boasted.

"Great game, Alicia, Angelina," George said with a wink.

Applause rang through the room.

"Another fine duel," Dumbledore said, "An excellent example of a tag team duel, Messrs. Weasley. You're both certainly qualified for promotion to Obelisk Blue. The next duel will be between Lee Jordan and Katie Bell."
