Mokuba called for everyone's attention. "Me and Tristan have talked it
over, and we have decided that the first two winners will face each other,
and the last two winners will face each other. That means the first match
is between Yugi Moto and Tea Gardner, the second my sister Raia vs. Geno."
Tristan nodded, and Yugi and Tea headed to their spots. Yami appeared beside his friend.
"Yugi, are you ready for me to.."
"Spirit, I want to duel alone this time."
"Yugi."
Yugi looked at the Yami carefully. "Listen, I understand why you hesitate, but I need to duel alone. This duel is personal."
Yami nodded, and returned to the puzzle. Tea looked at Yugi, and then back at Geno, who nodded. "Yugi, it is time for me to show you how powerful I truly am!"
"Tea, we don't need to do this! I already know how strong you are, your heart, your soul, your mind.."
Tea stomped her foot and everyone but Guy and Geno jumped. "Yugi, I don't care about those things right now. All I care about is defeating you!"
Yugi frowned, and then did his best impression of the spirit's tough facade. "Tea, you have lost your way, and forgotten what makes you you. I shall defeat you, and awaken the Tea I once knew!"
Tea looked back at Geno, who merely smiled and fingered his dagger. "We shall see how well you do without the aid of your puzzle. I will set this monster and end my turn."
Yugi sighed. HE truly didn't want to do this... "I will set this card and this monster, and also end my turn."
"Well, I don't know what your planning, but I soon shall see. I summon DarkFire Soldier Two to the field!" The flame samurai leapt onto the field and readied it's blades. "Attack!"
"You really should be careful with fire Tea, don't let it burn out to quickly." Tea looked at him angerly as Giant Soldier of Stone arose from Yugi's card, and slammed DarkFire back. (Tea-3700)
"Well Yugi, your stone soldier is powerful, so I will weaken his immune system with Ekibyo Dakmord!" Yugi watched as his soldier faultered, by remained standing. He drew, and passed. "Well, you were right about my fires Yugi, they are burning to hot. So I will activate Rain of Mercy. It will increase our Lifepoints by 1000" (Tea-4700, Yugi-5000)
"Tea, I think it is time to save my monster. You seem to have forgotten my set card. Well, it is time for a last minute remedy. I activate Magic Jammer! This card will cure my soldier and keep him on the field!" Tea sighed as her virus was sent to the graveyard.
"I guess all I can do is summon a second Dark Fire Soldier and end my turn." The second pyro monster marched into the battle and looked at Yugi carefully. "I will set this card and end my turn."
"Well Tea, it's sad, but Ibelieve it is time to separate your soldiers."
"So soon?"
"Yes. I will summon Gazelle and then equip him with United We Stand." Everyone watched as the soldier of stone placed his hands upon the Gazelle and powered him up. "Now Attack!" The beast king ran forth, and with a slash, destroyed the fire darkfire. But Yugi gasped as Tea's life counter rose. "What the?"
"Maybe you should have watched my field more carefully, for I activated Gift of the Mystical Elf the instant your Gazelle entered play."
Yugi nodded. "Smart, very smart."
Tea looked at her hand, and stuck her lip out. "Well, I guess all I can do is sacrifice DarkFire Soldier for Marie the fallen one. She has a slighty higher defense than your Gezella. I end my turn."
Seto held his head in his hands. "Tea you moron, you forgot yo switch it to defense mode!"
Tea looked at her fallen angel. "Oh, oops."
Yugi drew. "I will set this monster and this card, now attack Gazelle!" Yugi smiled as the angel fell into the graveyard. (Tea-2600)
Tea drew, and Yugi paled once more as Marie flew out of the graveyard and increased Tea's lifepoints. Tea smiled. "Guess I wasn't so stupid. I will set this monster, and activate Dark Door." The monster flashed, and the large wall and door separated them. (Tea-2800)
Yugi frowned. "I guess I must deliver yet another blow to you. Attack that monster that's been on the field all this time!" Gazelle reared back, but then let out a painful roar as a strange monster latched onto him.
Joey gasped. "Man, Tea has a Kiseitai!"
Raia nodded. "Nasty little thing, ain't it?"
"Oh yea!"
Tea merely winked, and set another monster and a magic/trap card, and with a shrug, ended her turn. Yugi drew, and then watched as the little fiend stole lifepoints for Tea. He ordered his Gazelle to attack, and the Cure Mermaid fell. (Tea-4950)
Yet Tea had another trick. "I activate Solemn Wishes!" The small rain cloud hovered over Tea and had her lp increase. She set a card, and once again received another powerup. (Tea-5650)
Yugi drew once more, and set one card, and could only watch as more life points were added to Tea. (Tea-7600)
Tristan nodded, and Yugi and Tea headed to their spots. Yami appeared beside his friend.
