Chapter Six: Dragons Triumph

Tina...

I had 5450. Pegasus had 6300 Life Points. However, the things that I were more concerned with were the fact that Yugi was there, in our midst. But more so, the silver crest that was alight on my hand. 'Yugi said it was the symbol of wisdom.' I reminded myself as to what the champion had just told us. I turned back to Pegasus. He was glaring at Yugi, but soon turned back to me.

"Let us continue." he smiled. "I do believe it is your turn." (5450/6300)

I picked my card up, looked at it, smiled, and then laid it down. "I'll summon a monster in defense mode." I said, laying one card down.

"Then I'll play Toon Summoned Skull in attack mode, by sacrificing my Toon Goblin Attack Force. Lighting Strike attack." he commanded as the blue shade stretched out of the green book and grasped the goblins in its massive claws. It the absorbed them to give it the energy to keep going. It then unleashed twin blue beams of lightning that incinerated my Life Points. (2950/6300).

"You attacked my face down Wall of Illusions. It will bounce your monster right mack to your hand." I smiled as the red wall that stood, supported by four yellow stakes, and a lavender face extended out of it. "And now its my turn." I said, drawing. "And my first move will be to play this Magic Card, De-Spell, on your Toon World." I grinned, flipping the card up. A decorative golden pad lock with a key in it appeared. A blast of lightning reached from it, zapping the green pop-up book, destroying it forever. "That means that your one monster is now destroyed, and I can now go in the attack." I said, playing a monster in attack mode. "Bistro Butcher." The blue skinned cook extended its wicked blade and slashed at Pegasus. (2950/4500). "And then, I'll end my turn by placing a card face down."

Pegasus looked at my down card nervously, but soon regained his confidence as he looked at his new card. "I'll lay a monster face down in defense mode, and another card face down." he grinned.

"Then I'll first use this Soul Release card to remove Toon World from your Graveyard." I said. A female shadow in a shimmering white dress, and flowing blue hair appeared. She then hovered over to his Graveyard. She began to shuffle through the cards, and removed the Magic Card. Then, she turned to me with a questioning expression on her face. "Then, Trap Hole, Heavy Storm, Red Archery Girl, and Man-Eater Bug." I declared as she smiled and removed them from pile. "And then I'll attack your defending monster with this; my second Neo the Magic Swordsman." I said as another worrier appeared. He raised his sword and lashed out at Pegasus's monster. What appeared on his side of the field was a young woman in bronw and purple robe, and holding a golden scepter in her hand. "The Magician of Faith. I figured that you'd try that eventually. Wasn't expecting to see that move so soon, though. Anyway, you don't have any Magic Cards left in your discard pile, you can't revitalize one." Needless to say, Pegasus was getting peeved.

"And next, I'm going to switch Flash Assailant to defense mode, and attack your Life Points directly with Bistro Butcher once again." I said as my one monster leaned down into a crouch, while the deranged cook made another attack on Pegasus Life Points. (2950/2700).

Pegasus drew a card. "Haha." he laughed. "I'll use this Monster Reborn to take your Wingweaver, and attack your Swordsman with it." he laughed as the elegant angel swooped onto the field out of the black fog. She then extended her wings out to their sides a much as they would span. A gold light radiated from them and envelope Neo, who burst into dust. (1900/2700).

'This is bad. With that Wingweaver on the field, it wont take long to destroy my remaining monsters. And once that's happened, one attack will finish me. I need to find a way to get rid of it. But Pegasus has forced my to get rid of most of my destruction cards. I'll just need to hold up for now.'

"I'll switch Bistro Butcher to defense mode, and place one more monster in defense mode."

"That's all you can do. The field has been looked down, and you've lost. Wingweaver, Holy Shine." With another flash of light, my Flash Assailant was gone as well.

'Not good.' I muttered, mentally. I proceeded to draw my next card, took a look, and then smiled greater then ever before.

"It's over, Pegasus." I turned the card so that he could see. "Soul Exchange. I'll sacrifice your Wingweaver, and my face down Mystical Elf to summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon." I decreed. Out of the table rose a massive blue reptile with vast wings and hundreds of teeth. "Of course, I have to skip my Battle Phase for this turn, but on my next turn..." I trailed off.

Pegasus picked his card up, examined it, scolded, and set it in defense mode.

"Then I'll play this Magic card, Dark Hole." I said as a black swirl in space formed, drawing all the monsters on the field into it. "And then I'll use my Monster Reborn card to resurrect my dragon and attack your Life Points directly." I said as the leviathan reappeared in a flash of light. It opened its mouth to form a brilliant white ball that then tore off and consumed Pegasus, whipping him out. (1900/0000). "I win."

"NOOOOO!" Pegasus said, collapsing. Then, he began to fade and vanished.

"What was that?" I asked to no one in particular. Surprisingly, I got an answer.

"Because it was simply a copy of that man. Your sister is dueling the real one. Lance was successful, but Meren needs your help." Yugi's voice echoed.

"Right..." I suddenly went silent as the light from my hand went out, and I slumped back in exhaustion, closing my eyes. "Meren.." I croaked out. Then, I lost all sight and thought.

To Be Continued...

Thanks to all who read this. And sorry it was so late and short, but my friend Tine is ludicrously hard to get into and write about. No offense Tina, but it really is hard. Any who...Questions, comments, even flames and criticism are all welcomed by me. Just don't reprimand me over my spelling. And keep the reviews coming. I need support, or else I might loose interest in writing. Thank you all, especially Chuck ZFB for allowing me to write off of his story, and Tina and Meren for agreeing to be a part of this. And if you think that this is to much like the Master of the Cards, leave me alone. It will only be like that until I can finish this Shadow Realm fiasco. So there.
