Chapter 13: Yugi vs. Mai, a rematch to remember
A warehouse somewhere in Domino City. 2:38 A.M. Mai is on the ground with Yugi standing over her.
Yugi: I want a rematch, Mai. This time I'll beat you much worse than last time.
Mai: But I don't have a duel disk.
Yugi: (Throws her one) There, now let's duel!
Mai: Fine, but I'll win! (Thinking) Maybe I can reach Yugi somehow and make him sane again.
Yugi: Let's duel!
Mai 4000/Yugi 4000
Mai: Ladies first, so I summon Harpie's Brother in attack mode!
Harpie's Brother: 1800/600 (A male Harpie with brown clothes, red and black wings, a red mask, black hair and a red blade on his right arm flapped high into the air above Mai)
Yugi: A good move, but now I'll make you regret it. I summon Giant Rat in attack mode!
Giant Rat: 1400/1450 Effect: When destroyed, special summon on Earth- Attribute monster with 1500 attack points or less to the field in attack mode. (A large, blue-gray rat stood with all four paws on the ground. It gnashed its teeth and squeaked)
Mai: (Thinking) Why did he play that weak card? (Talking) I'll set a monster and equip Harpie's Brother with the magic card Follow Wind! (A large gust of wind pushed the Harpie higher into the sky causing his points to increase by 300) Now attack his Rat!
Yugi: You aren't very good, Mai. (The rat was ripped apart with the Harpie's claw) Because now Giant Rat's effect activates allowing me to special summon Berfomet and use his effect to summon Gazelle, King of Mythical Beasts!
Berfomet: 1400/1800 (A winged creature with large muscles and four arms flapped on Yugi's field)
Gazelle, King of Mythical Beasts: 1500/1200 (A lion with a horn growled next to its ally)
Yugi: Now for my turn I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior in attack mode!
Gamma the Magnet Warrior: 1500/1800 (A metallic monster made of red metal with wings appeared)
Yugi: Now I activate Polymerization to fuse Gazelle and Berfomet to form...(The monsters merged together as a new beast with two heads, a lion's body and large wings appeared) Chimera, the Flying Mythical Beast!
Chimera, the Flying Mythical Beast: 2100/1800 Effect: When destroyed special summon Gazelle or Berfomet back to the field.
Yugi: Now my Chimera will attack your Harpie and Gamma will attack your set monster! (The Chimera flew forward and rammed the Harpie, killing itself as well. Gamma magnetically fired a beam that destroyed Harpie Lady) I choose to revive my Gazelle in attack mode so make a move.
Mai: I summon Amazoness Paladin in attack mode!
Amazoness Paladin: 1700/300 (A woman with a sword, a cape, and a fairly revealing tunic appeared)
Mai: Attack his Magnet Warrior!
Amazoness Paladin: (lunges and slashes it in half)
Mai 4000/Yugi 3400
Yugi: A good move, Mai. However, I shall ruin your plan. I play my Summoned Skull by sacrificing Gazelle!
Summoned Skull: 2500/1200 (A huge demon made of bone emerged and flapped his large bat-like wings)
Yugi: Attack her Amazon!
Summoned Skull: (Lightning flew from his claws and destroyed the Amazon)
Mai 3200/Yugi 3400
Mai: I believe I will set a monster.
Yugi: You fool! I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior in attack mode!
Alpha the Magnet Warrior: 1400/1700 (A small gray robot with a sword and shield hovered over the playing field)
Yugi: Now my Skull will attack your set monster and my Magnet Warrior will attack directly! (Lightning destroyed Mai's monster as Alpha slashed Mai)
Mai 1800/Yugi 3400
Mai: Ha, you flipped my Skelengel from your attack!
Skelengel: 900/400 (A small gold angel drew an arrow from his quiver and fired at Mai's deck)
Mai: I may lose my angelic ally but I now draw a card. Yes, it's a very good one too. I play Exchange! (She and Yugi looked at the other's hands) I shall take Brain Control.
Yugi: Damn you, I shall take Amazon Archer.
Mai: Now I summon Harpie Lady in attack mode equipped with Cyber Shield!
Harpie Lady: 1300/1400 w/ Cyber Shield 1800/1400 (A female Harpie appeared flying high above Yugi's monsters. Bronze armor adorned her chest and limbs)
Mai: Now I activate Brain Control on your Skull! (The Summoned Skull walked onto Mai's field) Now, your former monster will attack Alpha and my Harpie Lady will attack you directly! (Electricity consumed the small robot while the Harpie slashed Yugi with her talons)
Mai 1800/Yugi 500
Yugi: No! I am seeming pathetic! I must win!
Mai: The Yugi I know never thought he was pathetic! He'd always just pick himself up and try again!
Yami: She does have a point...
Yugi: No! I will be supreme! (Suddenly, the door broke down and a man entered)
Man: Yuge, come on! Let her go!
Yugi: Ah, Joey. Out of the way, girl. (Pushes Mai aside) My battle is with him.
Joey: Fine, let's do this!
Yugi 4000/Joey 4000
Mai: Joey, you came!
Joey: Yeah, I knew you needed rescuing.
Mai: I needed no such thing Joey Wheeler! FYI, I was about to beat Yugi! And where's Kaiba?
Joey: Back at the hospital with Mokuba. He got shot by Marik.
Mai: Oro?
Joey: Long story...
Yugi: Are we dueling or what?
Joey: Fine, go!
Yugi: I shall start with a monster in defense mode and two cards face down. Now I play Card Destruction causing us to draw new hands. (Both put hands in graveyard and draw new cards)
Joey: Oh yeah, well, I play Panther Warrior in attack mode and set one card.
Panther Warrior: 2000/1800 Effect: Requires a sacrifice to attack. (A purple panther in gold armor with a gold sword and shield appeared)
Yugi: You're going to be beaten. Now I activate my set card, Monster Reborn, and target the Dark Magician I discarded last turn!
Dark Magician: 2500/2100 (A wizard wearing purple armor and a purple cloak holding a green staff emerged)
Yugi: Now, I flip up my Beta, the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) and have Dark Magician attack your Panther and have Beta attack directly! (Energy surged from the staff and destroyed the panther. Beta shot electricity and damaged Joey)
Yugi 4000/1800
Joey: Damn, he's ahead and has one of his best monsters in play!
Yugi: Yes, I will be the greatest duelist!
To be continued...
HES: An exciting chapter, eh? Well the next one's going to be even better.
Next time on Cast to the Shadows: Joey and Yugi are locked in a mad duel. Yugi is pulling out many powerful cards and Joey is barely hanging on. But, will Joey's preaching of friendship and good times cause Yugi to become sane again? I doubt it but you should still read the next chapter of Cast to the Shadows!
