Chapter 26: A Metal Game, Part 1
______________________________
Mink and Daniel walked around the city, hoping they'd atleast find one of their friends. Jess and Allen were out there, hopefully together.
"Wait!" A voice called out from behind them. Mink and Daniel turned around.
"Jess! Where've you been?!" Mink said.
"I was looking for you guys. I saw the Orichalcos Seal come up but it wasn't the right duelist" Jess said.
"Who was it?" Daniel asked.
"It was Aeo and some other kid. I dunno he said something about working for them" Jess said.
"Must have been a Bounty Hunter gone bad" Mink said.
"Yeah, so have you guys run into anyone yet?" Jess asked.
"I did" Daniel said. Jess smiled and nodded.
Suddenly there was a large explosion behind the building they stood infront. Giant gusts of wind blew debris from the alley at them.
"What was that?!" Mink said looking into the alley. Suddenly there was a scream and a giant teal tube in the air.
"The Orichalcos Seal!" Daniel yelled. The three ran into the alley and over fences to see a girl, laughing at a gang. It appeared she challenged them to a duel and beat their leader.
"Your a freak!" A guy yelled. They grabbed the soulless gang member and ran away. The girl laughed then turned her head at the three.
"Ai!" Daniel said a bit freaked out.
"Looks like we have an audience!" The girl said, pointing at them. "Oh and how splendid! Duelist!"
"Yeah so?" Mink said, jumping over the fence.
"My name is Yoko Miyako" The girl smiled. "I challenge you to a duel! Winner tells me about Paul...."
"Paul?!" Mink said in shock.
"Oh! You know about him?!" Yoko said in shock. "Excellent! I know other girls aren't much a duelist, I should be named Queen of Games!"
"Heh" Mink smirked.
"Obviously you don't know about her!" Jess yelled jumping over the fence and standing along side Mink.
"Really..." Yoko said, intrigued.
"Yes, I was named Secondary Queen of Games. Making me the second strongest duelist!" Mink yelled.
"Heh, whatever" Yoko said. "Let's duel!"
"Not just yet...." Jess said as she turned her Steel Plate on. "I'll also duel too! It'll be a 2 on 1 Duel!"
"Wow more challenges, me like" Yoko smirked. "Now I'll begin!"
Daniel didn't have a good feeling about this. The gang he saw was the Street Duelers, they were one of the strongest duelist around the town. "You guys! Becareful!" He yelled.
"What's there to becareful about?! We've handled people like her!" Mink yelled.
"Looks like your friend has barley any faith in you. But you'll agree with me soon enough" Yoko smirked. "Now! Draw!"
Yoko pulled her next card up and looked at it and smiled. "Crap... that look" Daniel said as he slapped his head.
"Now! I play The Orichalcos Seal!" Yoko yelled, sliding the card in her Field Card Zone. Suddenly dark clouds grew and the seal began floating down from the clouds and onto the ground. "Now! I play Kuriboh in attack mode! (300/200 +500) I'll then place two cards face down and end my turn!"
Jess drew her next card. Both her and Mink's life points were at 4000 and Yoko's was at 8000. Jess looked at her first hand of the game. "I set a card down and summon Headless Knight! In attack mode! (1450/1700)" She announced "Then I end my turn!"
Mink drew her next card. "Now it's time to kick butt" Mink thought as she looked at her hand. "Now! I summon Mecha Xarian! (2200/1200)" Mink announced. "Now! Mecha Xarian! Attack and destroy Kuriboh!"
"I activate my trap card" Yoko smiled as it flipped up. "Enhanced Metal Force!"
"What?!" Mink and Jess thought.
"This trap card is all I need to defeat you!" Yoko laughed. "This will equip to my Kuriboh and increase it's attack points by 1000! (1800/200)"
Jess and Mink watched as her Kuriboh became all chrome and grew bigger. "Eh..." Jess said a bit weird out by the giant Kuriboh.
"But that's not all! It gains half of your monster's attack points, making it stronger than your monster!" Yoko yelled as Kuriboh's attack points grew to 2900. "Now! Kuriboh! Counter the attack!"
As the mechanical warrior dove at the giant Kuriboh, ready to destroy it. The metal Kuriboh bounced at it, and dug it's claws into the warrior, destroying it. Mink's life points decreased to 3300. Yoko laughed at Mink.
"Well, I end my turn from here" Yoko announced.
Jess drew her next card. "Now! I sacrifice Headless Knight to bring out Ghost Duke! (2000/700) In defense mode!" She announced. "I'll also play a card face down and end my turn"
Mink drew her next card, by the look on Jess' face she knew she had a plan going on. Mink looked at her hand. "Now! I summon Vex! The Metal Warrior! (1600/1200) And in defense mode" She announced. "I then end my turn"
Yoko drew her next card and smiled. "Now! I summon Metal Slime! (1900/2000 +500)" She announced. "Now! Metal Slime! Attack and destroy Vex The Metal Warrior!"
The gooey chrome slime dove at Vex, bashing through it, and destroying it. "Now you've activated Vex's ability!" Mink yelled.
Yoko smirked. "I know what it does" She said.
"Then why did she attack it?" Daniel thought from behind the fence.
"Well... I summon Aigo Cyborg! (3600/2400)" Mink yelled, a bit unsure.
From the first cards they played, Yoko knew what kind of decks they had and how to stop each of them. Yoko smirked and looked toward Jess' Ghost Duke. "Now! Kuriboh! Attack and destroy Ghost Duke! (2800/200)" Yoko announced. The giant Kuriboh bashed through the zombie, destroying it.
"Now! Activate face down card, Revenge Sacrifice!" Jess yelled. "This will destroy your Kuriboh and allow me to summon a monster from my hand!"
Yoko saw Jess hold up a card from her hand. "Now! Activate face down card, Magic Jammer!" Yoko announced.
"What!?" Jess said, her plan failing.
"You never thought I'd backfire anything you threw at me huh?" Yoko said. "But anyways, I discard a card from my hand to negate your Revenge Sacrifice"
Jess growled and looked at her hand. She looked at the card she drew and smiled. "Now! I summon Goblin Zombie, in defense mode! (1100/1050)" She announced. "Then I end my turn"
Mink drew her next card. She had a strong monster on her side and could defeat her over powered Kuriboh but the result will be a stalemate and destroy both monsters, but it was the only thing to do now. "Now! Aigo Cyborg! Attack and destroy her Kuriboh! (3600/200)" Mink yelled.
The Cyborg dove at the giant fur ball, destroying it. Then Mink's Aigo Cyborg exploded into pieces. "That was great Mink" Jess smiled, holding up a thumbs up.
Yoko drew her next card and smiled. "Now! I place a card face down." Yoko announced. "Now! Metal Slime! Attack her life points directly!"
The chrome goo dove at Mink, bashing into her. Mink screamed as she fell to the ground, her life points going down to 1400.
Mink was now in a tight spot and Jess needed to do something now. Yoko then ended her turn and Jess drew her next card. "Now! I place Ghost Duke (2000/700) in attack mode!" She announced. "Ghost Duke! Attack and destroy Metal Slime!"
"Now I activate my face down card!" Yoko yelled. "Another Mega Metal Morph! By sacrificing 1000 life points (Y: 7000), this will double my Metal Slime's attack points! (4800/2000) And since you announced an attack it's attack points increase more! (5800/2000) Now Metal Slime, Counter attack!"
As Ghost Duke got closer, ready to slash the slime with it's rapier, suddenly the Metal Slime lunged at it and bashed into it, destroying it. Jess' life points decreased to 200. They were in a major jam now. Jess ended her turn to Mink.
Mink drew her next card. "Mechanical Chaser, in defense mode! (1850/800) Then one card face down" Mink announced, ending her turn.
"Very well" Yoko said taking her next card. She smiled at her combination against Mink. "Now! I play Mechanical Genocide! This will keep any of your machine monsters from attacking"
Mink and Jess felt like they were about to lose. They underestimated this girl. Yoko smiled evilly at them. She then looked at Daniel. In her mind, she wanted his soul too. She wasn't going to let them off easily like that gang.
