Chapter 25

The Penguin stood ready, unphazed by the cold, while Tea was barely standing, and would be on the verge of freezing to death were it not for the Dark magician girl.

"I'll aks you once and once only. Do you wish to surrender? It makes no diffrence, either way you'll be trapped here for eternity"said the penguin.

"Maybe I should, it's too cold"thought Tea.

But she looked up at Dark Magician girl.

"I can't give up, Dark Magician girl is doing everything she can to help me, giving up would be selfish"thought Tea.

"No"responded Tea.

"Fine, defeating you will make taking your body more rewarding. Now if you're ready, let's duel!"

Tea:4000 Penguin:4000

"Let's begin"said the Penguin drawing.

"That Dark Magician girl is still formidable, even without a Dark Magician. Tea may have a Dark Magician in her deck, so I best be careful"thought the Penguin.

"I place 2 cards face down. Then summon King Fog in attack mode. It's your turn"

It had an ATK of 1000 and DEF of 900.

"King Fog is weak, especialy compared to my Dark magician girl. Wait, his strategy looks familiar. Yes, I've seen Joey use a tactic like this before, playing weak monsters to sucker opponents into traps. Well this Penguin's not fooling me"thought Tea drawing her first hand.

"Hey not bad. Allright, time to get this over with"thought Tea who was fighting to ignore the cold but could still feel it well.

"I place one card face down, then summon Tiger Axe in attack mode!"

It had an ATK of 1300 and DEF of 1100.

"Tiger Axe, destroy his King Fog!"

Penguin:3700

"Wow, guess he didn't have a trap after all"thought Tea.

Penguin drew.

"I summon Bird Face, attack mode!"

It had an ATK of 1600 and DEF of 1600.

"Slam that Tiger Axe!"

Tea:3700

"Now I place one more card face down and that shall end my turn"

Tea drew.

"Man, these monsters are all too weak. Wait, duh Tea! The Dark Magician girl, I forgot about her. She can attack monsters still"thought Tea.

"I start by summoning Hitotsume Giant in attack mode!"

It had an ATK of 1200 and DEF of 1000.

"Now Dark magician Girl, attack his Birdface!"

Penguin:3300

"Hitotsume Giant, attack!"

Penguin:2100

"I can't believe I have to use a card of those freaks that abducted me"thought Tea.

Penguin drew.

"I play Metal Catipilar in attack mode!"

It had an ATK of 1500 and DEF of 1300.

"Next I play Polmerasation to fuse it with Y Dragon head and X dragon head to create XYZ Dragon cannon!"

It had an ATK of 2800 and DEF of 2200.

"Whoa! That thing's gigantic!"gasped Tea.

"Since fusion monsters have to wait a turn to attack, it's your move"

Tea drew.

"I place one monster in defence, and switch Hitotsume Giant to defence as well"

Penguin drew.

"Man, I don't know how long I can take this"thought Tea.

"I reveal a facedown card, the magic card stop defense! Switch Hitotsume Giant to attack mode!"

"Aw! My monster!"

"Now XYZ Dragon cannon, blast that monster to kingdom come!"

Tea:2100

"Our lifepoints may be equal, but I doubt any monster in your deck can comepete against my XYZ Dragon cannon! Of course all I have to do is blast that puny Dark magician girl away and you automaticly lose! Your body belongs to me now!" ******************************************************

"Man, we're going nowhere fast"said Joey as he, Yami, and Serenity dashed around looking for Tea.

"We'll have to split up. Joey, you and Serenity go, I'll search by myself"

"Yourself?'asked Joey.

"Yes, I know I can out duel any of the Big 5 men that come, and if Iget attacked by monsters I can always summon one to destroy it. Serenity dosen't have a deck of her own so she needs you to protect her"said Yami.

"Allright, let's go sis!"said Joey.

"Man, this would be easier if Kaiba would've come along"thought Joey.

Kaiba and Mokuba were walking across the beach.

"Where are we going?"asked Mokuba.

"Somewhere away from those losers. This is my battle to fight, the Big 5 betrayed and nearly killed ME. I don't need or want Yugi or his little friends getting in my way"said Kaiba.

"But Yug allready beat one"said Mokuba.

"Well let's hurry and beat these clowns before he beats another"said Kaiba.

"How entertaining. This would make a goood TV show, the misadventures of the Kaiba brothers, HA HA! Let's check the weather with Tea and the lard penguin, ha ha!" ******************************************************

Tea:2100 Penguin:2100

Tea drew.

"I place another monster in defence mode"said Tea.

"If I keep my defences up, I might be able to get enough monsters to sacrafice to bring out a really good monster, asuming I get one"thought Tea.

the Penguin drew.

"Time to end this duel! So I activate raigeki, destroying all the monsters on your side of the field, except for your chief of course! Now XYZ Dragon cannon, obliterate her Dark magician girl!"

"Not so fast, I reveal Magical Hats! This will conceal Dark Magician girl"

"Clever"thought the Penguin as only 3 hats remained.

"My turn"said tea drawing.

"I pass this turn"

"Good, now it's time to end this! I sacrafice my Dragon Cannon to summon Barrel Dragon!"

It had an ATK of 2600 and DEF of 2200.

"This monster can attack you twice! So now Barrel Dragon, go!"

"That means there's only going to be a hat leaft, so on this or his next turn, that penguin will be able to reach my Dark Magician girl"thought Tea.

Luckily for Tea, her Dark Magician gril was still safe. tea sighed.

"Well no matter. On my next turn, she's finished!"

Tea drew.

"Allright, now it's time to end this"thought Tea.

"I place 2 cards face down, and end my turn"

"Barrel Dragon, attack!"

"Not so fast, reveal Dian Kenta and Ring of Destruction!"

"What!"gasped the Penguin.

"Ring of destruction will destroy Barrel Dragon and cause us both to lose lifepoints equal to Barrel Dragon's attack, and Dian kenta will raise my lifepoints by 1000 which means I'll just survive with 500 lifepoints while you lose!"

Penguin:0000 Tea:500

"Allright, we did it! Thanks Dark magician girl!"

The Dark Magician gril gave a wink, a wave, and vanished.

"Noah is not going to like this!"
