Kin of Myth
Chapter Three
(Recap: Joey Wheeler: 1200/Morgan Crawford: 4000)
Joey was consumed by a sort of hatred. Serenity would not be given to this, this, fraud. He pulled a card from the top of his deck. Perfect. "I will use this card, Curse of Fiend, to change every monster on the field into attack mode. Then, I will use one of my Scapegoats to attack your phantom!" The sheep was gone, so was the ghost. That left only one Scapegoat.
Then, Joey realized something when Cecilia's Ghost disappeared. The card looked like a female version of Morgan, just Morgan had more masculine features. Things were making more sense. Cecilia was the name of Pegasus's wife. Cecilia was the name of Morgan's mother. Morgan was Pegasus's son. That card was a sort of memorial for both Pegasus and Morgan.
"Hey, Morgan, sorry I had to destroy your mom with a sheep," Joey said.
"Joey, I don't care what you did. It is a card." Morgan responded and picked up a card.
"I will play the cards that will mark your defeat!" Morgan called out to Joey. Joey was starting to believe that he could not win. Morgan put two magic cards down onto the field. The first was Swords of Revealing Light. The second was Eternal Rhapsody of the Gods (Each turn, play a creature card with four stars or less from your deck to the field. This effect starts this turn and ends after three turns.). Morgan laid down the second Cecilia's Ghost card from his deck. Joey could do nothing but play magic and trap cards.
(Joey Wheeler: 1200/Morgan Crawford: 4000)
Joey picked up a card and passed his turn. Morgan was not surprised.
Morgan drew. It was, of course, another useful card. He placed the Ethereal Energy on the field, allowing him to bring back a Cecilia's Ghost card from the graveyard. Both were in defense position. Then, he used the effect of Eternal Rhapsody of the Gods to bring out yet another Cecilia's Ghost.
"What's with all the ghosts, Morgan?" Joey shouted.
"You will see. Now go." Morgan replied.
(Joey Wheeler: 1200/Morgan Crawford: 4000)
Joey picked up a card. It was something somewhat useful. "I will play the magic card Giant Trunade, destroying your Eternal Rhapsody of the Gods. Then I will put my dear Scapegoat back into defense mode." He smiled at this. Morgan would need a lot more than ghosts to beat him.
Morgan did not look troubled. He drew the card. It was apparently what he desired. "I will play The Exorcist's Mistake (Sacrifice three Cecilia's Ghost cards to bring out Tsunoma, Mistress of the Ether onto the field.), sacrificing my ghosts to bring out the holy maiden, Tsunoma, Mistress of the Ether (3050/2550)!
The ghosts disappeared. When the new creature took their place, Joey nearly fell off of his podium! She was gorgeous! He thought he was in love! All he could do was foam at the mouth. "Tsunoma, destroy his last Scapegoat and show him you mean business!" Morgan called to his angel. She obeyed, and the last sheep was destroyed.
(Joey Wheeler: 1200/ Morgan Crawford: 4000)
'I can't get beaten like this!' Joey thought. This was the last turn for Swords of Revealing Light to be active. Next turn, he could futilely attack and lose. What could he do?
He picked up his next card. Perfect. Now he knew what he could do next turn. But until then, he had to put up a defense. He put Island Turtle in face-down defense mode and ended his turn, the swords disappearing from the field.
Morgan picked up his next card and smirked. 'The Petite God,' he thought to himself. He passed.
(Joey Wheeler: 1200/Morgan Crawford: 4000)
Joey drew his next card. "I will put my Goblin Attack Force in attack mode and use the trap card Skull Dice!" Joey burst out. A small black demon type thing appeared on the field and rolled the red die. A five! Just what Joey needed! Tsunoma's attack would be divided by five and he could easily destroy her, dealing damage.
Morgan shuttered. Tsunoma was down to 610 ATK! He was in for a heavy blow. Joey attacked her destroying the angel, and dealing his first damage of the duel.
Morgan picked up his next card and sighed. It was time to do what he wanted, whether the timing was right or wrong.
(Joey Wheeler: 1200/ Morgan Crawford: 2310)
"First, I will play two Soul Exchanges to offer both of your monsters to bring forth The Petite God (3X00/2X00, X is equal to the number of creatures in your graveyard. If the number is greater than 10, X stays at 9)! If my calculations are correct, there are five creatures in my graveyard, making my god 3500/2500! Attack my god! Ethereal Pain Cannon!"
Joey had been defeated. The crowd stood in a standing ovation for both duelists. Pegasus and Yugi clapped more than anyone. It was a great duel.
Both contenders stepped down from the podiums and shook hands. "So, Joey, do I have your permission to marry Serenity?" Morgan asked. Joey nodded.
Joey turned to go up to Serenity and the rest of them. "And Joey!" Morgan called. Joey turned around. Morgan pulled out a card from his jacket pocket and threw it at him. "It's the card I said I'd give you if you won: Matrimonial Harmony!"
Joey read the card aloud to himself. "Discard all of your magic/trap cards in play. Special Summon an amount of creature cards (Four stars or lower) equal to the amount of magic/trap cards discarded in face up attack position or face down defense position."
Serenity looked over to Tea. "Tea, it's our turn. Only our duel will be for fun!" Tea nodded. Morgan caught up to Joey and saw that Serenity and Tea were looking at each other as if they were studying themselves.
"What's going on, Joey?" Morgan asked.
"There's going to be a catfight." Joey responded.
Pegasus got up from where he was and came to join them. "Good job Morgan. And hello Yugi-boy and Joey. I am so sorry I cannot stay. I would just like to tell young Serenity something."
Serenity got up and walked to Pegasus. He put his arms on her shoulders. "Welcome to the family."
A/N: Well, the next chapter begins the duel between Tea and Serenity. And Tea has a few tricks up her sleeve, believe me.
