Mai: [turns around] fine [releases image projecters]

Both: lets duel

Mai 4000 Joey 4000

Mai: lets see if you have gotten any stronger joey

Joey: make your move

Mai: I play darkworld thorns[600/1000] in defence and 3 cards face down

Joey: go swordsman of lanstar [500/1200] in defence

Mai: silver fang in defence [1200/800]

Joey: [man these cards are no good, I need something better] I play one card face down

Mai: activate face down card polymirzation to combine my two monsters into flower wolf [1800/1400]

Joey: uh oh, man that wolfs breath stinks

Mai: your about to be destroyed and that's all you can think of? I cant imagine why you lost your last duel

Tristan: come on joey don't take that, show her whos boss

Joey: right, shes not gonna like this combination I place two cards face down and I switch my swordsman of lanstar into attack.

Mai: are you throwing the duel or what? [or is it a trap] I place harpy lady[1500/1200] in defence for this turn

Joey: [dang she was supposed to attack, ahh and I got another useless card]

Mai: activate eligent egotist so now I have 3 harpy ladys and they combine into the harpy lady sisters [2100/1800] and I end my turn without attacking [this wont work for long, sooner or later I will have to attack

Joey: [come on cards I need something good, hmmm my red eyes, this might come in handy later on but not now] I pass my turn

Mai: I wont wait around any long harpy sisters attack swordsman of lanstar

Joey: sweet you fell into my trap

Mai: that was the idea!!

Joey: what?? Well I activate devil dice to reduce your stats

Mai: activate remove trap, say bye bye to devil dice

Joey: no way, activate sheild and sword to exchange all monsters attack with defence, at least I wont lose as much life points now

Mai: I had played metal bracer, when equipped to the harpy sisters their defence or in this case attack is raised by 500 [2100/2400]

Joey: no

Joey 2800 Mai 4000

Tea: this isnt good

Mai: come on joey this is too easy

Joey: yeah mock me why don't ya

Mai: listen joey stop feeling sorry for yourself and play!!

Tristan: remember if you lose this your out

Joey: hell I know that

Tristan: [smirks] serenity is gonna be devestated

Joey: huh serenity!! How am I gonna explain to her that I lost?

Tristan: yeah she would break out in tears I would hate to be there

Tea: [whispers] good one tristan

Joey: yeah no more mr nice guy mai, your going down!! [draws] ah ha go axe raider [1750/1100] and one card face down

Mai: you left him in attack mode? Ok its your funeral harpy ladies attack and destroy axe raider

Joey: you sprung my trap, kunai whip chain, reel em in axe raider, not only can your harpy ladies not attack for 2 turns but their stats are lowered by 500 [1600/2100] now attack axe raider

Mai: activate rose whip, now my harpys attack is 500 more [2100/2100]

Joey: uh oh my axe raider was destroyed

Joey 2550 Mai 4000

Mai: [sighs] poor joey cant even string together a decent move anymore

Tea: don't give up joey

Tristan: yeah hang in there

Joey: [man this duel just isnt working out at all in my favour]

Mai: now attack harpy lady

Joey 450 Mai 4000

Joey: no, this is it, my battle city tournament is over before its even begun, maybe I don't still have my dueling skills, I havent even scratched mais life points yet

Tristan: joey don't give in

Tea: the duel isnt over yet joey!!

Mai: come on joey, I know your not the type of duelist who gives up before the end

Joey: uh?

Mai: so keep your head up and remember that your friends are rooting for you, if they can convince themselves that you can win so can you

Joey: yeah, thanks mai!! [but even so if this card isnt anything good ive lost] all right [draws] wha???

Tristan: something wrong?

Joey: [looks at tea]

Tea: [nods]

Joey: right!! I play shining friendship [1400/1200] in defence

Tristan: hey isnt that your card?

Tea: yeah, I slipped it into his deck because I thought he might need a reminder of why hes dueling!!

Mai: big deal, destroy it harpy ladies [shining friendship dissapears]

Joey: big mistake as when shining friendship is destroyed it allows me to draw any two cards I want from my deck [takes 2 cards] now for my turn I play monster reborn to revive shining friendship and I sacrifice it for jinzo [2400/1500] and jinzos special effect is activated so your trap card is destroyed

Mai: no.. but it doesent matter I have plenty more tricks left, I play black forest witch [1750/1100] and I switch flower wolf and harpy ladies into defence, and I end my turn by playing this card face down

Joey: [hmmm, mai probably has something to protect her harpie ladies so I wont attack them] jinzo attack flower wolf!!

Mai: hrmm, now its my turn to reclaim the duel I play grave robber to take your battle axe and I sacrifice my battle oxe and my black forest witch for harpies pet dragon [2000/2400] and since harpy ladies are on the field my dragon gains 500 attack and defence [2500/2900]

Joey: that aint good

Mai: humph you made a good comeback but now it ends

Joey: lets just see [draws] I play graceful charity [rolls dice]

Tea: all right a two!!

Joey: jinzos attack is increased by two hundered [2600/1500] now jinzo destroy harpys pet dragon!!

Mai: no you cant.

Joey 450 Mai 3900

Tristan: all right joey!!

Mai: I play mirror wall, now you cant attack me

Joey: de-spell removes it. Now jinzo destroy harpies

Joey 450 Mai 3400

Mai: I cant believe it. my harpies defeated.

Joey: its over mai.

Mai: such confidence all of a sudden.. Its too bad that its not over, im just starting joey

Tristan: woah mai just lost all her monsters but she still looks so determined

Tea: yeah.

Mai: I play one card face down to end my turn

Joey: [I know it's a trap but I need to get rid of it] I play battle warrior [700/1000] now attack battle warrior!!

Mai: activate hand of doom, the hand grabs your warrior and drags it to its doom and you lose half of its attack points

Joey: I knew it but you cant stall forever

Joey 100 Mai 3400

Mai: [draws] with this card im afraid I can, go imperial banshee [1900/1300]

Joey: that's not strong enough

Mai: ah but with this [activates card] metalmorph I transform her into mega banshee [2450/2000]

Joey: woah!!! That aint good

Mai: now destroy jinzo!!

Joey: [sheilds face] no, it cant be.. jinzo?

Joey 50 Mai 3400

Tristan: oh man, mai just wont give up

Mai: give it up joey, you know this match is over

Joey: yes mai I do, but im afraid you wont be the one who will be victorious, I play one card face down and I play roulette spider!! Attach to mega banshee

Tristan: man, using roulette spider joey is taking a massive gamble..

Mai: grrr, a final desperate move?

Joey: arent you gonna tell it to stop? [grins]

Mai: oh very well then stop

[slows down]

Tristan: come on

Mai: [stares]

Joey: [chuckles]

[stops]

Tea: alright it landed on mais life points!!

Mai: no way

Joey 50 Mai 950

Joey: now your right where I want you

Mai: I don't think so because my mega banshee is still on the field and you have no monsters to defend your life points!!

Joey: but the card I played. with so little life points left mai can you afford to take a risk and attack

Tea: yeah [to tristan] joeys siking her out]

Mai: fine I wont make a move

Joey: big mistake: I play scape goats and I sacrifice two of them for.. RED EYES BLACK DRAGON [2400/2000]

Tristan: yeah ol red eyes wont let joey down!!

Mai: check again tristan red eyes is 50 attack points to weak

Joey: attack red eyes!!

Mai: fool!!

Tea: no joey.

Joey: activate face down card, reinforcements!!!

Mai: uhhh no

Tristan: yeah reinforcements adds 500 attack points to red eyes attack for one turn!!!

Joey 50 Mai 500

Mai: [draws] griggle in defence [250/300]

Joey: run out of strong monsters mai?

Mai: just make your move!!!

Tea: [giggles] mais losing her cool

Joey: red eyes destroy it and. I sacrifice my remaing two yams for green eyes emerald dragon [3000/2000] now its over
