Babe vs Bozo (optional)

After Yugi's duel it was time for another. This time Joey was the one to be challenged by the tricky Miss Valentine. After repeatedly being told to decline from the duel, Joey accepted and the two duellist faced off.

Joey had the first move, playing Masaki the Legendary Swordsman. "Hey, I made my first move," he stated as if no one had seen.

Mai played her Harpy Lady card, introducing everyone to a card they would she all too often. Joey stupidly sent his swordsman to attack, and he was destroyed. He got lip from both Yugi and Mai about flying monsters having a resistance to monsters that could only walk on the land.

Mai started her tricks. "Oh cards, speak to me..." she muttered just loud enough for everyone to hear. With that once sentence Joey was already shaking in his boots. He couldn't figure it out. Even after Mai's enlightening Joey with her psychic powers, he still was too dumb to figure it out.

Joey plays Tiger Axe, another stupid and hasty move, and before anyone can scream at him to think first, his second monster is destroyed. After Mai's easy win over the axe wielder she lay down a magic card without looking. She told Joey that it was a magic equip card, knowing that when she turned it over Joey would flip.

Joey worrying that he was going to lose his one and only Star Chip, placed a monster face down, in defence. Mai found Joey's pathetic attempts to save his Life Points funny, chose another card without looking and played Cyber Shield to power up her Harpy. She then sent her winged friend to attack. Another one of Joey's monster was destroyed.

Joey was really freaked now. He was sweating and wasn't concentrating at all. He was sure Mai had ESP. Tea, our favorite little side-line cheer leader {Hicky- That was sarcasm} told Joey not to worry because his friends were all there cheering him on. Mai probably just wanted Tea to shut up so she went on her own little rant about how duellists can't be friends because sooner or later they would have to fight each other and that the only person a duellist can count on is their self.

Joey asked Mai, "Why do you duel?"

Mai repeated and then responded. "Why do I duel?...... For all the comforts that I crave; designer clothes, travel perks, anything to avoid real work, hot car, turbo charged, for livin' large."

To comfort Joey and urge him on, Yugi's puzzle glowed and Yami took control of the teen's body. "She's just trying to divide and conquer, a strategy that's been used for centuries.... Believe me I know," Yami said in his deep voice, almost hinting that he was not who he appeared to be. The eye shined brightly on his forehead.

"When you get that look in your eye I believe everything you say," Joey said. Could he have noticed the single gold eye that no one else seemed to, or had he just forgot to add an 's'. Joey closed his eyes and concentrated hard on the duel. After a short time he sniffed at the air and noticed what Mai had really been doing all along. "I see through you're little scheme Mai! You sprayed all of your cards with different perfumes." Mai was shocked that Joey had figured it out. "You really had me buying into the whole psychic powers shtick. I was too freaked out to think straight... but you're not psychic at all! You're just a big fake!!" With his speech done he played his Baby Dragon in attack mode.

Mai played another magic card, Elegant Egotist, to make two copies of her Harpy that just happened to look nothing like the original. This move caused her turn to be over, which was a good thing for Joey's baby. Mai did however freak Joey out with have three Harpies so strong, and the threat that she would keep multiplying them until she had an army.

"Don't give up Joey," Yami coached him along. "Think hard about her strategy. She's been using only one monster card and strengthening that one card with many magic cards. But there's a serious flaw in her duelling strategy Joey." Yami spoke as if to a child, trying to have him figure it out without just being told.

"That's true," Joey realised quickly after Yami's many hints. "Maybe Harpy Ladies are her only monster..."

"That's right Joey," Yami sung him praises. "Now what card in your deck will help you win?" Another leading question.

"Which of my cards? You tell me..." Joey goes off into thought for a moment before realising what card he needs, then notices he does not have it in his hand. As he goes to draw Yami does one of two things; he forces the Time Wizard to be the next card drawn or he forces Joey to believe that the card will be the Time Wizard, have Joey be the one to change his deck. Joey is ecstatic when the card actually is the Time Wizard and he lays it on the field. "Time Wizard! Time Magic!" Joey yells and the Wizard complies. The hands on his staff go round and round, slowing down eventually, almost stopping on an skull, and then hopping up to a jackpot. The attack caused the playing field, and everything on it, to move forward one thousand years.

"Attack my three Harpy Sisters!" Mai commands without looking at what her Harpies have become.

"Hahaha," Yami laughed at her plight. "I warned you. A millennium has passed on the playing field and your Harpies have become old and decrepit. Face it Mai... time's running out for you and your ladies!" {Hicky- Now, since it ain't Yami duelling, I'm not sure when he actually warned Mai about anything but whatever.}

Joey was shocked and gleeful at the outcome. "I believed and the cards came through for me. Awesome!" For his final move, Joey sent Thousand Dragon to attack with Inferno Flame Breath, winning his first duel of the tournament.

Hicky: Review you all. Hope you liked it since it was optional.

Trent: The next chapter will be better because it will be about Cetlic and Gaia and a little story telling.

Hicky: Oh my gods Trent... the way my fans think, they'll be thinking that...... well, maybe they will be right. EEEHEHEHEHHEHEHE. Hicky's gonna go to bed now!
