Akina Tori: I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
Urd: Finally..
Belldandy: Solitaire was starting to get boring.
Keiichi: no kidding..
Akina Tori: Let's see. Skuld's next challenger is female! I bet you can guess who it is. If you can't, your stupid!
Belldandy: Akina!
Akina Tori: Sorry.. Anyway. DISCLAIMER! KEIICHI-KUN!
Keiichi: Oh boy.. Akina Tori does not own YU-GI-OH! Or Oh! My Goddess!
Urd: That's a good boy..
Akina Tori: On with the show!
-----------------------------------------------------
Skuld reappeared.. In a castle? Yes, in a castle, above a bucket of water.
"EEEWWWWW!" yelled Skuld, noticing there was a mop nearby. She quickly floats to the ground, and goes against the wall. She clanking of armor, which sounded to close.
"I feel a disturbance in the force.. I always wanted to say that!" she said, smiling at herself.
"Who's there?" said the guard. Skuld smacked herself on the cheek, and hushed herself up. She pressed herself on the wall, and walked sideways until she reached a corner. She hid behind it, and peeked out a bit, seeing the armor covered man. He looked around a bit more, and he shrugged mentally to himself. He looked over the bucket of water, and noticed the water was spilt all around it.
"SHE'S HERE!" he exclaimed, and he went running.
"HELHEIM!" yelled Skuld, and she went running in the other direction. ( It's her way of saying 'damn it!' )
She ran straight into a door, and Skuld fell onto her back.
"Oh kami-sama.. What happened?" she asked herself, rubbing her bruised head. She looked up and down the door. It was a mahogany door, carved with wild flowers, trees, rabbits, young deers, and does. She pushed open the door ( don't think they had doorknobs then ), and went inside, shutting the door behind her. She leaned against the door for a few moments, and sighed. Just now, Skuld noticed she was in total darkness.
"I knew you would come! How dare you betrayed the ones who summoned you!" cried out a female voice. ( if your guessing Ishizu, you are sooo wrong! )
"I have every right to betray those who took me away from my job!" said Skuld, and she stuck her tongue out.
"Phiiiiiiiitae!" is the sound she made.( like in that episode when Skuld appeared ' I am not a kid! Phiiiiiiiiitae! ' )
"And I could not believe it was a child of all people!" said the obnoxious voice. Then the lights were flashed on, and Skuld had to let her eyes adjust for a moment.
"It's time for your end, Rose Duelist! For I, Margaret Mai Beaufort, will defeat you! " she said, she was a woman with blonde hair, violet eyes, and red lipstick on. She had some sort of armor on, that had a red cloth coming down behind the sleeves and started for the shoulder plates, like a cape.
"You know, that is a really long name," said Skuld, making a thinking look.
"Let me guess, winner takes all, right?" said Skuld, her deck appearing the palm of her hand, and before Mai could say anything.
"Right," said Mai, but she had other plans, winning or losing.
"Harpy Lady!" exclaimed Mai, as she threw her Deck Leader card onto the ground next to her. Light emits from the card's picture, and blueish feathers started to swirl around. Harpy Lady appeared, doing a screeching cry.
"Uhhh, oh yeah!" said Skuld, pulling out Noble Scarlet. Skuld was thinking to do a fancier summon today; one that could match Mai's. She held the floating card in the palm of her hand. It started to spin, and she lightly let her hand move away from the card.
"Noble Scarlet!" said Skuld, the card started to shine brightly, and there was a flash of white light. A white ribbon came out of the card, and it started to swirl. There Noble Scarlet came out, hands up, and eyes closed. Her eyes snapped open, and her wing unfolded. Noble Scarlet then did a giggle, and waves a hello. Skuld did a anime sweat drop at that action. Mai then did a smirk, another plan came into her little mind.
"Why don't we bet our deck leaders. Who ever wins, could keep the other's deck leader. Deal?" said Mai. Skuld did a face of worry, then looked up at her angel.
| What happens if I lose, and my angel is gone? Would I live? Or would I die? |
"What, are you chicken of losing you wittle card?" said Mai, putting her hands on her hips. Noble Scarlet's face went serious, and she looked down at Skuld.
"YOUR ON!" said Skuld, Mai smirking. She can't wait to have that powerful card in her collection of winged creatures, and females.
"I'm going first," said Skuld, fanning out her five cards.
"I'm placing one card face down," she said, and she threw that card to the ground.
"And I'll do the same, except I'm powering up this card up with a magic card," said Mai, and she held up the hidden card in her hand, and blew at it, then it fell to the ground in front of her lightly. Light blue feathers of the Harpy Lady swirled around it, and there appeared a huge face down card. Soon it was glowing from the power up.
"I'm going to attack that card! By revealing, Dark Witch( 1800/1700 )!" said Skuld, and the card turns face up. With a shower of white sparks, that witch appeared. She also twirls her red spear in her fingers as a wand. "Go Dark Witch!" said Skuld, and the witch thrusts it's glowing, golden sparking, spear at the face down card, revealing Harpy Lady equipped with Rose Whip( 1600/1700 ).
( What I found out, is that there is no such card called rose whip. I think so anyway. So I replaced it's magical abilities with that of Electro-Whip. M'kay? )
The Harpy Lady did her screeching cry, and in a puff of feathers, it was gone.
Skuld - 4000
Mai - 3800
"Are you sure about the 'I'll defeat you' gag?" said the mocking Skuld. Mai just scowled.
"Can it," is all she said.
"Ooooou, I'm scared!" said Skuld, now being over confident. As Noble Scarlet picked a card out for Skuld.
"Alrighty, I want to get this little party over with. I place two cards face down, in defense mode," said Skuld.
"I'll play Harpy Lady quipped with Cyber Shield and Rose Whip ( 1900/1700 ). Attack Dark Witch!" said Mai, while Skuld did a small 'eep'.
Skuld - 3900
Mai - 3800
"And that's not all," said Mai, with a smirk.
"Oh great," said Skuld.
"I play Harpy's Feather Duster! I know you have some kind of trap or magic card over there!" said Mai, as the Deck Leader Harpy Lady grew a pair of extra wings on her back. It screeched and the wings flapped, making it rain light blue feathers all over them. Her Polmerization Card disappeared like dust.
"Oh kami-sama, no!" said Skuld. Now Skuld can't summon her best monster, St. Joan. Skuld bit her lip lightly as she looked at her cards.
"Then I'll place one card face down," said Mai, in a it-is-very-simple
"Okay then.. I'll play Fearie's Gift( 1400/1000 ) in attack mode. Plus, power it up with Elve's Light!(2200/800)" said Skuld.
"Attack Harpy Lady!" said Skuld, and the fearie raised up her wand.
"Not so fast kiddo," said Mai.
"Reveal the magic card, Harpy Lady!" commanded Mai. Harpy Lady did a screeching reply, and the card lifted it's self up.
"Activate Despell!" she said, and Skuld gulped.
"Oh.crap." said Skuld, as her Fearie's Gift started to glow; then spheres of light escaped from her body. Her attack power and defense went to the original status(1400/1000).
"End turn, then," said Skuld, sighing once more.
"Harpy Lady! Attack that puny fearie will ya'?" said Mai, and the fearie did a little gasp, as the Harpy Lady did a slash of her rose whip. The poor fearie was reduced to fearie dust.
"Then, I'll play my last Harpy Lady, with Elegant Egotist. Creating, Harpy Lady Sisters! ( 1950/2100 )" she said, Skuld then went limp.
"Attack that card face down!" said Mai, then Skuld smiled. The three sisters flew off at their target, and they all punched, or scratched the face down card. The card face down card revealed to be Forgiving Maiden( 850/2000 ).
"HA!" said Skuld, and Mai did a 'humph'.
Skuld - 3400
Mai - 3750
" Now, let's see. I'll place one card face down," said Skuld, then she drawn one more card, "Urk, no good cards!"
Skuld then sighed, and Noble Scarlet pointed at Cure Mermaid.
"Oh! Yes! Didn't see that one," said Skuld, and she smiled.
"I'll place this one in attack mode!" said Skuld, and she threw that card. It started to spin, becoming a card of white light. Then it formed into the Cure Mermaid( 1500/800 ), she was playing with her hair, and she smiled.
"Why that one? It has such a low attack power," said Mai, but all Skuld can do was smile.
"You'll see!" said Skuld, while the mermaid was pouting because she was called an 'it'.
"M'kay, your turn!" said Skuld, and Mai smirk. But wait, the Cure Mermaid was chanting something. Light shot up from her, and was infused with Noble Scarlet. Noble Scarlet looked refreshed, and was smiling, doing a small giggle.
"Whoops, forgot to tell you! Cure Mermaid has an effect... When my turn is done, I get 800 life points! Ha ha!" said Skuld, then Mai, just crossed her arms, like it was no big deal.
Skuld - 4200
Mai - 3750
"Harpy Lady Sisters! Attack Cure Mermaid!" said Mai, and Skuld smiled.
"Not so fast! Let's show her what her winning prize is, Noble Scarlet!" said Skuld, and Noble Scarlet nodded. The card glowed and became a huge wall, that shows the reflection of the three bird sisters.
"Mirror Wall!" said Skuld, beaming now. Mai growled, as her Harpy Lady Sisters attacked the wall.
"And you know, that's not all," said Skuld.
"Their attack points are reduced to half!" said Skuld, Mai looking enraged. Harpy Lady Sisters ( 975/2100 )
"Harpy Lady in defense mode," said Mai, growling, while Skuld was celebrating with her comeback, with Noble Scarlet by her side, doing the same thing.
"Cure Mermaid! Attack Harpy Lady Sisters!" said Skuld, and the mermaid was chanting quietly a little spell. There was a flash of light, and the three sisters were gone.
Skuld - 4200
Mai - 3225
Mai did her drawing, and she smiled.
"I'll play Empress Judge( 2100/1700 ) in attack mode, move Harpy Lady in attack mode. Then I'll use, Harpy's Feather Duster!" said Mai.
"Oh kami-sama! NOT THAT AGAIN!" groaned Skuld, and she kicked the ground. Her Mirror Wall vanished into thin air, leaving her Cure Mermaid( 1500/800 ) and Forgiving Maiden( 850/2000 ) vulnerable.
"Harpy Lady(1900/1700), attack Cure Mermaid!" said Mai, Harpy was speeding at her, and did a crack of her thorny whip; the mermaid did a shriek and she vanished as a splash of water.
Skuld - 3800
Mai - 3225
"Then, Empress Judge, attack Forgiving Maiden!" said Mai. The Empress thrown her staff at the sitting maiden, and was twirling around like a boomerang. It hit the frightened maiden, and she soon vanished, with a scream left behind.
| Should I just give up? |
"Well, it's your turn. Move it already!" cried out and impatient Mai.
"Hold your horses," said Skuld, as she drew a card. Her eyes went wide, what luck!
"I'll place this card.... In attack mode!!" said Skuld, and she threw the card onto the ground. A magic circle of white formed on the ground below the twirling card, and it had odd lettering that Skuld couldn't even understand. At the rim of the circle, white light shot up, covering the card. A song could be heard, it was faint, but it became louder at each moment. The light disappeared, and there floating over the magic circle was the Wingweaver( 2750/2400 ). Strands of her purple hair was floating about, like there was a light breeze in the room. The magic circle vanished, and she landed on her bare feat.
" Then I'll play a magic card! One that you played many turns ago, Despell! Heeheehee," said Skuld, as she held up the card in between her pointer finger and index finger, for the shocked Mai to see, and then Skuld threw it to the ground. The Harpy Lady shrieked, as her Cyber Shield, and Rose Whip turned into items of golden light. Soon they both left her in a very vulnerable state.
"Wingweaver. Attack that stupid, annoying, hand cramping, Harpy Lady!" said Skuld, this duel has been such a long one( no kidding ). The Wingweaver sung a song in a language unknown to Skuld, but it did sound similar to her original language of the gods. It was enchanting and soothing, but to the harpy lady, it was a horrible screeching, that made her head seem to split open. She covered her ears, and was screeching for mercy. Then she turned into a puff of feathers.
Skuld - 3800
Mai - 1775
"Ok, time to get serious. I place Empress Judge in Defense Mode, and place one card face down, in defense mode," said Mai.
"Okay! Wingweaver, attack Empress Judge!" said Skuld, then Mai smiled a dark one, and she did a small laugh.
"You fell for my trap! Acid Trap Hole! Good bye Wingweaver!" said Mai, as a hole appeared below the Wingweaver, filled with a green bubbling liquid. Skuld turned her head away, and closed her eyes. She didn't want to see her mystical being be tortured by the acid. Skuld sighed, and she draws a card. She looked over the card, Soul of Purity and Light. It looked quite similar to her Noble Scarlet, yet the hair style, skin color, and wings are quite different.
"I take Dark Witch, and Forgiving Maiden out of the graveyard, and out of play. Then, I special summon this card face down, in defense mode. Then, I'll play one more card, face down," said Skuld, and Mai only watched in boredom.
"I'll play Monstrous Bird in attack mode, and power it up with Follow Wind. ( 2300/2100 )" said Mai.
"Now, Empress Judge! Attack that face down defense card!" said Mai, and Empress Judge begun to throw her staff.
| Common... Try to attack now. no sudden decisions |
Empress Judge threw her staff, twirling at her Soul of Purity and Light card. Skuld smiled.
"Mirror Force!" cried out Skuld, and a huge mirror appeared before the face down card. The staff was reflected back, and it hit the Empress Judge, she doing a small cursing word in latin before she vanished, then the Monstrous Bird, which left behind a few brown feathers. The staff then got stuck into the stone wall, and soon vanished. Mai then growled, and 'humphed'.
"Nyaha! I'll reveal my face down card now, Soul of Purity and Light ( 2000/1800 )! Now, go attack that Harpy, and then we could go home! With the exception of finding five more rose cards, " said Skuld. The card turned up, and a white shower of sparks appeared. A white ribbon then swirled around the card, and two angelic wings came out. Then a head with blond hair, next was pale arms, and soon the legs were seen. She had a transparent look to her. But she was shining with white light nevertheless.
She held out her hands, palms faced up, and a white light 'string' swirled on them. In the middle of the swirl, a sphere of white light formed. The 'string' vanished, and the sphere went off at it's target. As soon as the ball touched the gaping Harpy Lady, it exploded into a white light. Nothing was left, and the battle was lost and won.
"Hahahaha! I won! I won! Neeeee!" said Skuld, and she stuck her tongue out, making a raspberry sound.
"Now, give the card up!" said Skuld, and Mai sighed, and she threw the rose card out to her. Then she took out her Harpy Lady Deck Leader. Skuld caught the rose card, and she puts it on top of her deck. She threw her deck up, and it disappeared.
"I don't need that card. I already have a Harpy Lady," said Skuld, in a gentle way, noticing the card that Mai was looking at.
"Yeah, but the deal--"
"I don't remember any deal," said Skuld, acting like she is trying to remember something. Mai just smiled, a faint one.
"Sorry about this, Rose Duelist, but I was ordered to carry out a plan, whether I lost or not! Guards!" yelled Mai, and from the darkened corners, a few men came out and grabbed Skuld at her arms. Noble Scarlet gasped, and she went off to help her goddess. Yet, a guard threw a spear at her, and it pierced her in her back. Noble Scarlet floated there, stunned. Blood started to leak from her back, and a few people gasped. Cards weren't suppose to have blood, they usually disappear after an attack like that. Skuld screamed in pain, as the same wound appeared on her back.
"Well, well. I have just made a discovery. What every happens to your little Deck Leader, the same thing happens to you," said Mai, as she qued a few guards to throw their spears.
"Noble Scarlet! I command you to get out of here, until I wish to summon you, or you are needed in another duel!" called out Skuld, gritting her teeth from the pain she had on her back. Noble Scarlet nodded, and her white ribbons swirled around her, and she soon vanished. The spear in her back dropped to the ground where the pool of Skuld's angel's blood is.
"Prince Henry will be most pleased," said Mai, as she walked up to Skuld, looking in her right in the face.

Akina Tori: Didn't do a cliffy for a while!
Urd: Is Skuld going to die?

Skuld reappeared.. In a castle? Yes, in a castle, above a bucket of water.
"EEEWWWWW!" yelled Skuld, noticing there was a mop nearby. She quickly floats to the ground, and goes against the wall. She clanking of armor, which sounded to close.

"SHE'S HERE!" he exclaimed, and he went running.
"HELHEIM!" yelled Skuld, and she went running in the other direction. ( It's her way of saying 'damn it!' )
She ran straight into a door, and Skuld fell onto her back.
"Oh kami-sama.. What happened?" she asked herself, rubbing her bruised head. She looked up and down the door. It was a mahogany door, carved with wild flowers, trees, rabbits, young deers, and does. She pushed open the door ( don't think they had doorknobs then ), and went inside, shutting the door behind her. She leaned against the door for a few moments, and sighed.

"I knew you would come! How dare you betrayed the ones who summoned you!" cried out a female voice. ( if your guessing Ishizu, you are sooo wrong! )
"I have every right to betray those who took me away from my job!" said Skuld, and she stuck her tongue out.
"Phiiiiiiiitae!" is the sound she made.( like in that episode when Skuld appeared ' I am not a kid! Phiiiiiiiiitae! ' )
"And I could not believe it was a child of all people!" said the obnoxious voice. Then the lights were flashed on, and Skuld had to let her eyes adjust for a moment.
"It's time for your end, Rose Duelist! For I, Margaret Mai Beaufort, will defeat you! " she said, she was a woman with blonde hair, violet eyes, and red lipstick on. She had some sort of armor on, that had a red cloth coming down behind the sleeves and started for the shoulder plates, like a cape.
"You know, that is a really long name," said Skuld, making a thinking look.
"Let me guess, winner takes all, right?" said Skuld, her deck appearing the palm of her hand, and before Mai could say anything.
"Right," said Mai, but she had other plans, winning or losing.
"Harpy Lady!" exclaimed Mai, as she threw her Deck Leader card onto the ground next to her. Light emits from the card's picture, and blueish feathers started to swirl around. Harpy Lady appeared, doing a screeching cry.
"Uhhh, oh yeah!" said Skuld, pulling out Noble Scarlet. Skuld was thinking to do a fancier summon today; one that could match Mai's. She held the floating card in the palm of her hand. It started to spin, and she lightly let her hand move away from the card.

"Why don't we bet our deck leaders. Who ever wins, could keep the other's deck leader. Deal?" said Mai. Skuld did a face of worry, then looked up at her angel.
| What happens if I lose, and my angel is gone? Would I live? Or would I die? |
"What, are you chicken of losing you wittle card?" said Mai, putting her hands on her hips. Noble Scarlet's face went serious, and she looked down at Skuld.
"YOUR ON!" said Skuld, Mai smirking. She can't wait to have that powerful card in her collection of winged creatures, and females.
"I'm going first," said Skuld, fanning out her five cards.
"I'm placing one card face down," she said, and she threw that card to the ground.
"And I'll do the same, except I'm powering up this card up with a magic card," said Mai, and she held up the hidden card in her hand, and blew at it, then it fell to the ground in front of her lightly. Light blue feathers of the Harpy Lady swirled around it, and there appeared a huge face down card. Soon it was glowing from the power up.
"I'm going to attack that card! By revealing, Dark Witch( 1800/1700 )!" said Skuld, and the card turns face up. With a shower of white sparks, that witch appeared. She also twirls her red spear in her fingers as a wand. "Go Dark Witch!" said Skuld, and the witch thrusts it's glowing, golden sparking, spear at the face down card, revealing Harpy Lady equipped with Rose Whip( 1600/1700 ).
( What I found out, is that there is no such card called rose whip. I think so anyway. So I replaced it's magical abilities with that of Electro-Whip. M'kay? )
The Harpy Lady did her screeching cry, and in a puff of feathers, it was gone.
Skuld - 4000
Mai - 3800
"Are you sure about the 'I'll defeat you' gag?" said the mocking Skuld. Mai just scowled.
"Can it," is all she said.
"Ooooou, I'm scared!" said Skuld, now being over confident. As Noble Scarlet picked a card out for Skuld.
"Alrighty, I want to get this little party over with. I place two cards face down, in defense mode," said Skuld.
"I'll play Harpy Lady quipped with Cyber Shield and Rose Whip ( 1900/1700 ). Attack Dark Witch!" said Mai, while Skuld did a small 'eep'.
Skuld - 3900
Mai - 3800
"And that's not all," said Mai, with a smirk.
"Oh great," said Skuld.
"I play Harpy's Feather Duster! I know you have some kind of trap or magic card over there!" said Mai, as the Deck Leader Harpy Lady grew a pair of extra wings on her back. It screeched and the wings flapped, making it rain light blue feathers all over them. Her Polmerization Card disappeared like dust.
"Oh kami-sama, no!" said Skuld. Now Skuld can't summon her best monster, St. Joan. Skuld bit her lip lightly as she looked at her cards.
"Then I'll place one card face down," said Mai, in a it-is-very-simple
"Okay then.. I'll play Fearie's Gift( 1400/1000 ) in attack mode. Plus, power it up with Elve's Light!(2200/800)" said Skuld.
"Attack Harpy Lady!" said Skuld, and the fearie raised up her wand.
"Not so fast kiddo," said Mai.
"Reveal the magic card, Harpy Lady!" commanded Mai. Harpy Lady did a screeching reply, and the card lifted it's self up.
"Activate Despell!" she said, and Skuld gulped.
"Oh.crap." said Skuld, as her Fearie's Gift started to glow; then spheres of light escaped from her body. Her attack power and defense went to the original status(1400/1000).
"End turn, then," said Skuld, sighing once more.
"Harpy Lady! Attack that puny fearie will ya'?" said Mai, and the fearie did a little gasp, as the Harpy Lady did a slash of her rose whip. The poor fearie was reduced to fearie dust.
"Then, I'll play my last Harpy Lady, with Elegant Egotist. Creating, Harpy Lady Sisters! ( 1950/2100 )" she said, Skuld then went limp.
"Attack that card face down!" said Mai, then Skuld smiled. The three sisters flew off at their target, and they all punched, or scratched the face down card. The card face down card revealed to be Forgiving Maiden( 850/2000 ).
"HA!" said Skuld, and Mai did a 'humph'.
Skuld - 3400
Mai - 3750
" Now, let's see. I'll place one card face down," said Skuld, then she drawn one more card, "Urk, no good cards!"
Skuld then sighed, and Noble Scarlet pointed at Cure Mermaid.
"Oh! Yes! Didn't see that one," said Skuld, and she smiled.
"I'll place this one in attack mode!" said Skuld, and she threw that card. It started to spin, becoming a card of white light. Then it formed into the Cure Mermaid( 1500/800 ), she was playing with her hair, and she smiled.
"Why that one? It has such a low attack power," said Mai, but all Skuld can do was smile.
"You'll see!" said Skuld, while the mermaid was pouting because she was called an 'it'.
"M'kay, your turn!" said Skuld, and Mai smirk. But wait, the Cure Mermaid was chanting something. Light shot up from her, and was infused with Noble Scarlet. Noble Scarlet looked refreshed, and was smiling, doing a small giggle.
"Whoops, forgot to tell you! Cure Mermaid has an effect... When my turn is done, I get 800 life points! Ha ha!" said Skuld, then Mai, just crossed her arms, like it was no big deal.
Skuld - 4200
Mai - 3750
"Harpy Lady Sisters! Attack Cure Mermaid!" said Mai, and Skuld smiled.
"Not so fast! Let's show her what her winning prize is, Noble Scarlet!" said Skuld, and Noble Scarlet nodded. The card glowed and became a huge wall, that shows the reflection of the three bird sisters.
"Mirror Wall!" said Skuld, beaming now. Mai growled, as her Harpy Lady Sisters attacked the wall.
"And you know, that's not all," said Skuld.
"Their attack points are reduced to half!" said Skuld, Mai looking enraged. Harpy Lady Sisters ( 975/2100 )
"Harpy Lady in defense mode," said Mai, growling, while Skuld was celebrating with her comeback, with Noble Scarlet by her side, doing the same thing.
"Cure Mermaid! Attack Harpy Lady Sisters!" said Skuld, and the mermaid was chanting quietly a little spell. There was a flash of light, and the three sisters were gone.
Skuld - 4200
Mai - 3225
Mai did her drawing, and she smiled.
"I'll play Empress Judge( 2100/1700 ) in attack mode, move Harpy Lady in attack mode. Then I'll use, Harpy's Feather Duster!" said Mai.
"Oh kami-sama! NOT THAT AGAIN!" groaned Skuld, and she kicked the ground. Her Mirror Wall vanished into thin air, leaving her Cure Mermaid( 1500/800 ) and Forgiving Maiden( 850/2000 ) vulnerable.
"Harpy Lady(1900/1700), attack Cure Mermaid!" said Mai, Harpy was speeding at her, and did a crack of her thorny whip; the mermaid did a shriek and she vanished as a splash of water.
Skuld - 3800
Mai - 3225
"Then, Empress Judge, attack Forgiving Maiden!" said Mai. The Empress thrown her staff at the sitting maiden, and was twirling around like a boomerang. It hit the frightened maiden, and she soon vanished, with a scream left behind.
| Should I just give up? |
"Well, it's your turn. Move it already!" cried out and impatient Mai.
"Hold your horses," said Skuld, as she drew a card. Her eyes went wide, what luck!
"I'll place this card.... In attack mode!!" said Skuld, and she threw the card onto the ground. A magic circle of white formed on the ground below the twirling card, and it had odd lettering that Skuld couldn't even understand. At the rim of the circle, white light shot up, covering the card. A song could be heard, it was faint, but it became louder at each moment. The light disappeared, and there floating over the magic circle was the Wingweaver( 2750/2400 ). Strands of her purple hair was floating about, like there was a light breeze in the room. The magic circle vanished, and she landed on her bare feat.
" Then I'll play a magic card! One that you played many turns ago, Despell! Heeheehee," said Skuld, as she held up the card in between her pointer finger and index finger, for the shocked Mai to see, and then Skuld threw it to the ground. The Harpy Lady shrieked, as her Cyber Shield, and Rose Whip turned into items of golden light. Soon they both left her in a very vulnerable state.
"Wingweaver. Attack that stupid, annoying, hand cramping, Harpy Lady!" said Skuld, this duel has been such a long one( no kidding ). The Wingweaver sung a song in a language unknown to Skuld, but it did sound similar to her original language of the gods. It was enchanting and soothing, but to the harpy lady, it was a horrible screeching, that made her head seem to split open. She covered her ears, and was screeching for mercy. Then she turned into a puff of feathers.
Skuld - 3800
Mai - 1775
"Ok, time to get serious. I place Empress Judge in Defense Mode, and place one card face down, in defense mode," said Mai.
"Okay! Wingweaver, attack Empress Judge!" said Skuld, then Mai smiled a dark one, and she did a small laugh.
"You fell for my trap! Acid Trap Hole! Good bye Wingweaver!" said Mai, as a hole appeared below the Wingweaver, filled with a green bubbling liquid. Skuld turned her head away, and closed her eyes. She didn't want to see her mystical being be tortured by the acid. Skuld sighed, and she draws a card. She looked over the card, Soul of Purity and Light. It looked quite similar to her Noble Scarlet, yet the hair style, skin color, and wings are quite different.
"I take Dark Witch, and Forgiving Maiden out of the graveyard, and out of play. Then, I special summon this card face down, in defense mode. Then, I'll play one more card, face down," said Skuld, and Mai only watched in boredom.
"I'll play Monstrous Bird in attack mode, and power it up with Follow Wind. ( 2300/2100 )" said Mai.
"Now, Empress Judge! Attack that face down defense card!" said Mai, and Empress Judge begun to throw her staff.
| Common... Try to attack now. no sudden decisions |
Empress Judge threw her staff, twirling at her Soul of Purity and Light card. Skuld smiled.
"Mirror Force!" cried out Skuld, and a huge mirror appeared before the face down card. The staff was reflected back, and it hit the Empress Judge, she doing a small cursing word in latin before she vanished, then the Monstrous Bird, which left behind a few brown feathers. The staff then got stuck into the stone wall, and soon vanished. Mai then growled, and 'humphed'.
"Nyaha! I'll reveal my face down card now, Soul of Purity and Light ( 2000/1800 )! Now, go attack that Harpy, and then we could go home! With the exception of finding five more rose cards, " said Skuld. The card turned up, and a white shower of sparks appeared. A white ribbon then swirled around the card, and two angelic wings came out. Then a head with blond hair, next was pale arms, and soon the legs were seen. She had a transparent look to her. But she was shining with white light nevertheless.
She held out her hands, palms faced up, and a white light 'string' swirled on them. In the middle of the swirl, a sphere of white light formed. The 'string' vanished, and the sphere went off at it's target. As soon as the ball touched the gaping Harpy Lady, it exploded into a white light. Nothing was left, and the battle was lost and won.
"Hahahaha! I won! I won! Neeeee!" said Skuld, and she stuck her tongue out, making a raspberry sound.
"Now, give the card up!" said Skuld, and Mai sighed, and she threw the rose card out to her. Then she took out her Harpy Lady Deck Leader. Skuld caught the rose card, and she puts it on top of her deck. She threw her deck up, and it disappeared.
"I don't need that card. I already have a Harpy Lady," said Skuld, in a gentle way, noticing the card that Mai was looking at.
"Yeah, but the deal--"
"I don't remember any deal," said Skuld, acting like she is trying to remember something. Mai just smiled, a faint one.
"Sorry about this, Rose Duelist, but I was ordered to carry out a plan, whether I lost or not! Guards!" yelled Mai, and from the darkened corners, a few men came out and grabbed Skuld at her arms. Noble Scarlet gasped, and she went off to help her goddess. Yet, a guard threw a spear at her, and it pierced her in her back. Noble Scarlet floated there, stunned. Blood started to leak from her back, and a few people gasped. Cards weren't suppose to have blood, they usually disappear after an attack like that. Skuld screamed in pain, as the same wound appeared on her back.
"Well, well. I have just made a discovery. What every happens to your little Deck Leader, the same thing happens to you," said Mai, as she qued a few guards to throw their spears.
"Noble Scarlet! I command you to get out of here, until I wish to summon you, or you are needed in another duel!" called out Skuld, gritting her teeth from the pain she had on her back. Noble Scarlet nodded, and her white ribbons swirled around her, and she soon vanished. The spear in her back dropped to the ground where the pool of Skuld's angel's blood is.
"Prince Henry will be most pleased," said Mai, as she walked up to Skuld, looking in her right in the face.
