Chapter 138: The Army of Harpie's, Part 1
__________________________________
It was a lovely day at the rose park. Everyone admired the fields of roses that seemed to go on forever. It was also a rest and picnic spot for family's to play in. Some spectators gathered around to watch the duel.
"it'd be sad to see you lose infront of these people, especially your friends. I'll be sure to make it humiliating! Draw!" Greg announced, drawing his next card, he smiled. "Now! I summon Harpie's Brother, in defense mode! (1800/600) I'll set a card face down and end my turn!"
Kai drew his next card and smiled. "It's obvious his face down card is a trap card waiting to be activated." Kai smiled.
Greg smiled. "Now! Activate trap card, Devil's Torment!" Greg yelled as his trap card flipped up. "Let the torment begin! This trap card stops you from summoning any monster with the attack of 2000 or more!"
"Gah, what a good way to start." Allen grumbled.
"Kai can get through this." Daniel smiled.
Greg smiled as Kai looked fiercely at him. "Now! I summon Skilled Black Magician! (1900/1700) Attack mode!" Kai yelled as the magician materialized onto the field. "Now! Attack and destroy his Harpie's Brother!"
The magician lifted it's staff into the air, sending black lightning at the harpy, destroying it. Greg growled as Kai ended his turn.
Greg quickly drew his next card and smiled. "Now! I summon Harpy Killer! (2000/0)" Greg announced as the well armored Harpie Lady materialized onto the field. "Now! Attack and destroy his Skilled Black Magician!"
"Heh, now! Activate Magic card, Burial Rebirth!" Kai yelled as his magic card materialized and flipped up on the field. "By removing a monster from your graveyard, your attack is negated!"
Greg smiled. "This won't stop me. My turn ends!" Greg announced.
Kai drew his next card. "I'll set a card face down. Because I used a magic card, Skilled Black Magician get's a magic counter! (+1)" Kai yelled as a black flame appeared over Skilled Black Magician's head. "Now! I'll summon Big Shield Guardna, in defense mode! (100/2600) My turn ends!"
"Finally." Greg growled, drawing his next card. "Now! I summon Cyber Harpy! (1800/1200)"
"What the?!" Kai said in shock as the Harpy Lady formed. "But that's suppose to be a Harpy Lady..."
"Get with the program kid. This is a Harpy Lady, a beefed up one!" Greg yelled. "I'll set a card down and end my turn!"
Kai drew his next card. Kai smiled. "Now! I summon Watapon! (300/200)" Kai yelled as a puffy white creature formed on the field. "I'll activate it's effect by sacrificing it to summon this, Black Magician Girl! (2000/1700)"
Greg laughed. "Idiot, you know that my Devil's Torment stops all your strong monsters!" Greg pointed.
Kai growled "I'll place Skilled Black Magician in defense mode and end my turn."
Greg drew his next card. "Heh, to activate this card I need to correct monster and sacrifice to use it. So now! I bring it just for you, Delusional Pleasure!" Greg yelled. "I'll sacrifice my Harpy Killer to activate it."
"And what's it suppose to do." Kai growled.
"it bring forth all my Harpy Ladies!" Greg yelled.
Mink laughed. "What kind of boy uses Harpies!" She yelled.
"What kind of GIRL uses machines for a deck." Greg yelled back. Mink got angry, pouting and folding her arms.
Suddenly four Harpy Ladies and Cyber Harpies materialized onto the field. Greg now had 3 Cyber Harpie's (1800/1200) and 2 Harpy Ladies (1300/1400).
"Wait I've seen this kind of play." Jess spoke out. "A Doom Member used it against me. A Harpy deck can be strong if used right."
"So Kai might have a bit trouble..." Allen said, a bit concerned.
"My turn ends!" Greg smiled.
Kai drew his next card. As he drew, hope looked up at him. "Looks like this duel will be ending soon." Kai smiled. "Now! Activate magic card! Rose Cannon!"
"What the?!" Greg said as a rose bud appeared, surrounding Big Shield Guardna.
"This magic card allows me to destroy one of your magic and trap cards, along with one of your monsters by sacrificing my Big Shield Guardna!" Kai smiled.
"No..." Greg growled.
"Now! Rose Cannon, blast Big Shield Guardna at his Devil's Torment and Cyber Harpy!" Kai called out.
Suddenly the rose bug bloomed into a beautiful rose with Big Shield Guardna in the middle. The rose then blasted the warrior directly at Greg's Cyber Harpy, destroying it along with his Devil's Torment.
"Now! I can attack with Black Magician Girl!" Kai smiled. Greg growled. "Now! Black Magician Girl, attack and destroy his Harpy Lady!"
"Activate trap card!" Greg called out. "Attack Nullification!"
Kai growled as his Black Magician Girl's ribbon of hearts fled at Greg only to be stopped by a vortex absorbing the attack.
Greg drew his next card. "Now I'll activate Delusional Pleasure's effect. By sacrificing 500 life points (G: 3500) I can return the Cyber Harpy you destroyed, back to the top of my deck!" Greg smiled. "So now I'll draw Cyber Harpy and summon it! (1800/1200)"
"Crap. He can just get his monsters back even if Kai destroys them." Allen growled.
"So... Looks like I have you at a bind." Greg smiled.
"Not just yet! My Black Magician Girl has a higher attack power and we've both played magic cards, giving Skilled Black Magician a total of 3 Magic Counters!" Kai yelled.
"So." Greg smirked. "I'll play this. Unity Force!"
"But Greg doesn't even have warrior monsters." Mink said a bit confused.
"Unless he plans to use DNA Surgery. It can come in handy for him." Daniel said, worried.
Greg smiled. "I'll also play two cards face down and end my turn."
Kai drew his next card. He knew exactly what Greg was up to. "Now! I sacrifice my three Magic Counters to summon Black Magician! (2500/2100)" Kai announced.
"Kai no!" Daniel yelled in his mind, knowing if he told him what Greg was planning, he'd be disqualified.
Greg smirked as he knew Kai was a fool to be dealing with him. "Now! activate trap card, DNA Surgery!" Greg yelled. "And I'll change all monsters on the field into warrior types."
Suddenly all monsters on the field began to glow. Kai's magician's staffs were replaced with swords and shields and the same thing with Greg's Harpies.
"Now each of my Harpy Ladies gain 1000 attack points! (4x 2300/1400) (3x 2800/1200)" Greg smiled.
"I expected you to do something like that." Kai smiled.
"What?!" Greg said in shock.
"There's no way I'll bet letting you summon a army of strong warriors!" Kai yelled. "Now! I summon Magic Warrior, Breaker! (1600/1000 (+1) +300)"
"No!" Greg said in shock, knowing what it did.
"Think of this duel as over because I can sacrifice Breaker's Magic Counter to destroy your DNA Surgery!" Kai yelled as Breaker lifted his sword into the air.
It automatically attracted green lightning and blasted it at the trap card, destroying it.
"Alright! Kai had already planned over time!" Allen cheered, thrusting his arm into the air.
"Good job Kai!" Mink and Jess encouraged.
Kai smiled. "Now! Black Magician, Black Magician Girl, Skilled Black Magician, and Breaker! Attack his Harpie Ladies!" Kai yelled.
"No way." Greg smiled. "Now! I activate Practical Joke! Allowing me to discard my whole hand to end your battle phase!"
Kai growled ending his turn. Greg drew his next card and smiled. "Well for once I thought you had a chance. But your chances are over! You've ticked me off too much and you'll regret it!" Greg yelled.
"What are you talking about?! Your the one that started this whole fight!" Devon yelled.
"It's time to say by to the birdie because once I'm done with you, Danny- Boy here will be stripped of his Title!" Greg yelled.
"Scum like you don't deserve to even have a title!" Kai yelled.
"What?!" Greg growled, ready to come over there and beat his head in. "I'll make you suffer for saying that! I have now, the ultimate Harpy, or shall I say, Valkyrie!"
"Valkyrie?" Mink and Jess both said.
"Now behold a true master of the Harpie's!" Greg laughed.
