Chapter 160: Team Duel, Part 1

________________________________

"I still think this is just mad... What Jin's doing..." Allen growled.

"It'll be over soon, if we just hurry up passed this place." Kai said, walking ahead.

"I wonder how the others are doing...." Allen thought, out loud.

"We've only been here for 2 minutes now... I think they can help themselves. We just have to focus on getting passed this hall...." Kai said but stopped at the empty room.

"And to this room...." Allen finished off.

It was a wide open, and empty room. "What do we do now?" Kai asked.

"You duel me..." A angry voice called out, appearing from behind them as the two duelist entered the room.

"Greg!" Allen and Kai both said, turning around to see the mad duelist.

"That's right. And I'll be the one defeating both you little kids." Greg smirked as his Duel Xero folded out. "One duelist makes it through the gate. Only the owner of the winning move may pass through."

"Heh, that won't be too hard." Allen smiled as his Duel Xero folded out.

"Remember only one of us is getting passed" Kai said.

"And it'll be me." Allen said.

"No, I should pass through..." Kai said.

"Why?! I'm Dan's best friend!" Allen yelled.

"But you're too reckless and might endanger yourself!" Kai yelled back.

"Enough! You both will duel me now. No exceptions to when you two lose." Greg yelled.

"Fine!" Kai yelled as his own Duel Xero folded out.

"Duel!" The three duelist yelled as their life points rose to 4000.

"I'll make the first move!" Greg announced, drawing his first round of cards. "Now I summon Cyber Harpy! (1800/1200) In attack mode! I'll set a card face down and end my turn!"

"My move!" Allen and Kai both suddenly yelled.

"Allow me to go first." Kai said.

"No! Me!" Allen yelled.

"Ugh... Ok you, go." Greg pointed at Kai.

"Gladly...." Kai smirked. "Darn it...."

By the look of Kai's face, it seemed he didn't have any good cards. "Heh, and you thought you could make it successfully through the first turn." Allen said.

"Like you could do any better." Kai thought. "Now! I summon Skillful White Magician (1700/1900) in defense mode!" Kai announced as the magician materialized onto the field. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn!"

Allen drew his next card. "Darn it..." Allen grumbled.

"Knew it. You're just as bad as me!" Kai said.

"Now! I summon Rocket Warrior! (1500/1300)" Allen announced. "I'll then set a card face down, turn end."

"Finally... I was only expecting to duel you, Kai. But I was forced to duel to idiots instead. You two are really at each other's throats which is priceless to watch." Greg laughed.

"He's right... We need to atleast try and get along." Kai said, looking at Allen.

"Right, just leave everything to me." Allen said.

"You mean we both need to take over this duel." Kai said.

"Right..." Allen nodded.

"Draw!" Greg announced, drawing his next card. "Now! I activate Harpie's Feather Duster, wiping out all your trap and magic cards on the field!"

"Darn it...." Allen growled.

"Since you played a magic card, Skillful White Magician earns a Magic Counter!" Kai pointed as a yellow pearl on the magician's right shoulder began glowing.

"I know...." Greg growled. "But it'll be over soon. Now! Reverse trap card, Harpie's Base Wing!"

"What?!" Allen thought.

"This trap card is permanent to my field, giving all my Harpie's 500 extra more attack points!" Greg yelled as his Cyber Harpy's attack power grew to 2300. "Now! Attack and destroy his Skillful White Magician!"

The harpy let out a screech, diving at the magician. "Activate magic card, Treason of Power!" Allen announced. "This magic card will stop your Harpie's attack and place it into defense mode!"

"I could have handled it...." Kai grumbled.

"But look. Your magician gains a counter and also saves you!" Allen smiled.

"Ok..." Kai said as the Harpy flew back, kneeling down and shielding herself from any on coming attacks while Kai's Skillful White Magician's second stone began to glow.

"Heh. It won't be long now. I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Greg announced.

"Now! I draw!" Allen announced. "Now! Rocket Warrior, attack and destroy his Cyber Harpy!"

The warrior transformed into a rocket, blasting itself at the Harpy, ready to destroy it. "Reveal trap card! Illusion of One's Hope!" Greg yelled. "This will stop your attack."

"Damn..." Allen growled.

"But not only that, it'll increase Cyber Harpie's attack and defense points by 700! (3000/1900)" Greg yelled.

"Great..." Kai said.

"Darn it...." Allen growled. "I'll summon Big Shield Guardna (0/2600), in defense mode. My turn ends!"

"Draw!" Kai announced, drawing his card. "My magician has 2 magic counters. I need one more."

"Heh." Greg smirked.

"Now! Activate magic card, Pot of Greed!" Kai yelled, drawing two cards. "And now my Skillful White Magician has three full magic counters! I will now sacrifice my monster to bring forth...."

"Alright..." Allen smiled as a white flaming circle came about around Skillful White Magician.

"Buster Blader! (2600/2300)" Kai yelled as the warrior materialized onto the field. "Now! Attack and destroy his Cyber Harpy!"

"Kai no!" Allen yelled.

"Fool! Reveal trap card, Holy Barrier, Mirror Force!" Greg announced.

"No!" Kai gasped.

Suddenly a barrier protected the Cyber Harpy, deflecting the attack and destroying Buster Blader along with Allen's Rocket Warrior.

"Draw!" Greg announced. "Now! I shift Cyber Harpy into attack mode (3000/1900) and I'll summon Harpy Lady (1300/1400 +500)"

"No..." Kai growled, knowing it was all his fault that they were about to lose.

"Now! Cyber Harpy, direct attack!" Greg announced. The Harpy slashed her talons at Kai. Kai yelled out as his life points reduced to 1000. "Now! Harpy Lady, attack and win me this duel!"

"Reveal trap card!" Allen commanded. "Nutrient Z!"

"No..." Greg yelled.

"This trap card will increase Kai's life points by 4000 because of the last damage he had taken which was over 2000." Allen said.

Kai's life points increased to 5000 but then the Harpy lady slashed at him, decreasing his life points to 3200.

"I was so close..." Greg growled.

"I won't let you get me like that ever again." Kai growled.

"Heh. Whatever." Greg smirked. "I'll set a card face down and end my turn!"

Allen drew his next card and smiled. "Now! I sacrifice Big Shield Guardna to summon this, Fiend Megacyber! (2200/1200)" Allen announced as the yellow armored warrior materialized onto the field. "Now attack and destroy his Harpy Lady!"

The warrior dove at the Harpy Lady, punching through her chest and destroying her. Greg growled as his life points lowered to 3600.

"No..." Greg growled.

"I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Allen announced.

"Draw!" Kai announced. "Now! I activate Yield Tribute to bring forth Black Magician! (2500/2100) I'll then activate this, Revert Magician's Wand. Allowing me to summon a Skillful White Magician (1900/1700) because I have Black Magician on the field."

"Heh, no stronger than my Cyber Harpy." Greg smirked.

"Wrong!" Allen yelled. "Activate trap card, 3 on 1! This trap card will reduce your monster's attack power by 700 because we have three weaker monsters than your Cyber Harpy!"

"No!" Greg yelled in shock as his Cyber Harpie's attack power reduced to 2300.

"Now! Black Magician, attack and destroy his Cyber Harpy!" Kai commanded. The magician pointed it's wand at the harpy, blasting black lightning at it and destroying it, reducing Greg's life points to 3400. "Now! Skillful Black Magician, attack his life points directly!"

The second magician pointed it's wand at Greg, blasting a small black lightning blast at him, reducing his life points to 1500.

Greg smirked as he swept off the dust on his black coat. "Seems you little kids have it more than I thought." He smirked. "But too bad it's you all that will be going down! I will be passing through that gate!"

"I'd like to see you try!" Kai yelled, ending his turn.

"Draw!" Greg yelled. "Now! I activate Raise Dead to bring back Cyber Harpy! (1800/1200 +500) Now! Reveal trap card...."

Suddenly Kai gasped as his trap card flipped up. "No..." He growled.

"Triple Mirror Illusion!" Greg yelled. "This will multiply my Cyber Harpy equal to how many monsters you all have!"

Suddenly three extra Cyber Harpie's emerged from the first one, creating four Cyber Harpie's (4x 2300/1200).

"What the..." Allen said.

"This trap card allows me to Special Summon Harpy Tokens which are then matched to my one and only Cyber Harpy... Making me an army of harpie's." Greg smiled. "Now! Cyber Harpy (2300/1200) attack and destroy Fiend Megacyber!"

The Harpy slashed through the warrior, reducing Allen's life points to 3900.

"No..." Allen said in shock, realizing what danger he was in now.

"Now! The my Cyber Harpy will destroy you!" Greg yelled, pointing as another Cyber Harpy dove at Allen.

"Black Magician! Protect Allen now!" Kai commanded.

The magician jumped infront of Allen, taking the attack and sending a black lightning blast at one harpy, destroying it and reducing Greg's life points to 1200.

"Damn..." Greg cursed.

"As long as we're a team.. We can protect one another." Kai said.

"So what's protecting your only monster left?" Greg smiled. "Cyber Harpy! Attack and destroy his Skillful Black Magician! (1900/1700)"

The third Cyber Harpy jumped up slashing Kai's monster and destroying it, reducing Kai's life points to 2800.

"Heh. I have one extra Cyber Harpy left..." Greg smiled. "So now! Cyber Harpy, attack his life points directly!"

Greg directly pointed at Allen's empty field. The Harpy flapped it's wings, slashing her talons at Allen. Allen let out a cry, falling down to the ground, his life points reducing to 1600.

"Is he done yet..." Allen growled, getting up.

"No!" Greg smiled. "Now! I activate Move Dead, bringing my original Cyber Harpy back to my hand! I'll then summon it to the field! (2300/1200)"

Greg had a full army of Cyber Harpie's all ready for the doom of Allen and Kai. The only thing standing between them was Kai's Black Magician who was only fit to protect only one person for the turn.
