Chapter 161: Team Duel, Part 2

________________________________

The score stood at Allen: 1600, Kai: 2800, and Greg: 1200.

Greg smiled, now having the lowest score in the duel but didn't seem to hesitate. Greg had four Cyber Harpie's which were at a high attack power of 2300. Allen had nothing on his field while Kai had his Black Magician which kept him safe from attacks. But with four, Greg could easily wipe them out.

"Draw!" Allen yelled.

"Come on Allen... We need a strong monster..." Kai said in his mind, hoping for the best of Allen's card.

Allen kept his eyes shut as he drew and Greg stood there, snickering.

Allen opened his eyes only to sigh in frustration as what he drew was no a monster, but a magic card which could give him one shot in help.

Kai saw the look on his face but smiled, knowing Allen tried. "Now! I'll activate this, Cyclone!" Allen announced. "I use this magic card to destroy your Harpie's Base Wing which will reduce all your Harpie's attack power to normal!"

Suddenly a gust of wind broke out, destroying Greg's magic card. "No!" Greg growled.

"I'll then set two cards face down and end my turn!" Allen announced.

"Draw!" Kai announced, drawing his next card and smiling. "Now! I activate this magic card... Baptism Of Light and Darkness!"

"Eh?" Allen said. Looking at Kai who had a victorious look on his face.

"Now! I sacrifice Black Magician, going along with the effect of my magic card to summon Black Magician of Chaos! (2800/2600)" Kai announced as a dark cloud appeared in the sky and the magician began to lower from the clouds, floating down to the ground. "Once I summoned this monster, I may bring back a magic card from my graveyard and I chose Yeild Tribute! I'll then activate it to bring forth Breaker The Magic Warrior! (1600/1000 +300) This automatically earns a Magic Counter, increasing it's attack power!"

Greg smiled, knowing Kai wouldn't let him win. Although his face down card had hidden secrets, Kai wouldn't use up Breaker's counter because Kai wanted more damage out of Greg.

"Kai..." Allen said looking over at him. "The counter... Use it."

"No... Greg will be more at our mercy..." Kai growled.

"But..." Allen said.

"Now! Breaker attack and destroy his Harpy!" Kai commanded. The warrior dove at the harpy, slashing it with his sword and destroying her and reducing Greg's life points to 1100. "Now! Black Magician of Chaos, attack and destroy his other Harpy!"

Allen sighed, feeling Kai's determination to pass on.

Greg stood there and watched as the magician blasted a sphere of black clouds at the harpy, destroying it and reducing his life points down to 100.

"Fool..." Greg laughed.

"What?!" Kai said in shock.

"Draw!" Greg yelled, drawing his next card and smiling. "Now! I sacrifice both my Cyber Harpie's to summon this.... Harpy Princess! (2000/1300)"

"No...." Kai growled.

"Harpy Princess allows me to bring back every Harpy Lady I've used.... So say hi to my four Cyber Harpie's! (1800/1200)" Greg laughed. "But that's not all! Now I'll activate my face down card, Team Harpy!"

"What is that...." Kai said in shock.

"This trap card... It allows all my Cyber Harpie's to attack as one monster, creating their attack points into one whole bang" Greg smiled as the trap card stood up with all it's might.

"Allen was right..." Kai growled. "And because of me... We're going to lose..."

"So now! Cyber Harpie's, combine your attack power and attack and destroy Black Magician of Chaos!" Greg commanded.

The four Cyber Harpie's began to channel there spiritual waves into one, sending a blinding pink light at the magician who waited for it's doom.

A giant explosion occurred and smoke flew everywhere. "No.. I lost..." Kai said, falling to his knees.

"This isn't over yet!" Allen said, as the smoke cleared, showing the Magician still in perfect condition and Kai's life points remaining the same.

"What the..." Kai said in shock.

"I've activate my trap card, Faith and Magic! This trap card allows me to activate 1 magic card from my graveyard!" Allen yelled as the smoke cleared from the ground and it showed the face up magic card. "And I chose Cyclone which to destroy your Team Harpy trap card!"

"No! Then my attack was still unsuccessful!" Greg gasped.

"It was." Kai smiled.

Greg growled, knowing if he attacked with Harpy Princess, Kai would win the duel because he could command his Black Magician of Chaos to protect Allen, causing him to lose the duel.

"Now! I'll equip Invisibility Cloak to my Harpy Princess, keeping you guys from attacking her. I'll then shift all my Cyber Harpie's into defense mode and end my turn." Greg announced as all that was left of Harpy Princess was a dotted line of her.

Kai finally realized the situation. it wasn't just a game now. Allen needed to be with his friend and support him all the way through.

"I've made my decision about this... Allen I want you to pass through this level..." Kai said, looking at Allen. "I know Dan means a lot to you, that's why you should be there to support him."

"Thanks, Kai. I owe ya." Allen smiled, drawing. "Now! I activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards!"

Greg watched as Allen drew two cards and smiled. "This is it..." Kai thought, knowing the future of this duel.

"Now! I'll summon this monster in defense mode and activate this, Shield Breaker!" Allen yelled. "This allows me to destroy one monster in defense mode. I won't chose your Harpie's but my own monster which is Warrior Gerfred!"

"What?!" Greg yelled.

"Once this monster is destroyed while in defense mode, I can Special Summon 1 warrior from my hand! And the warrior I chose...." Allen said holding up the card. "Guilford The Lightning! (2800/1400)"

Suddenly a blinding light appeared in the sky and the warrior began to lower from the ceiling, onto the field.

"No! No! You can't!" Greg yelled in shock.

"Yes and because I've summoned this monster... All your monsters will be destroyed!" Allen yelled as all of Greg's Harpie's exploded into a bunch of pieces.

"Now! Guilford The Lightning, attack his life points directly!" Allen commanded.

The warrior let out a battle cry, sending streams of electricity through the air. He then charged at Greg, slashing him with his sword, sending him flying into the wall.

Greg let out a cry as his life points reduced to 0 and fell unconscious to the ground.

Allen smiled, knowing Greg's rampage was over. Kai walked up to Allen. "I'm sorry for the way I acted..." He said.

"Forget it. This tournament is getting to us hard." Allen said, looking at the opening iron gate.

"Yeah... Well I'll see you once this is over." Kai said, turning to the other door.

"Right." Allen said, continuing further inside the building.

Back into the other hall way, Dan and Paul had arrived to the next room. "Well?!" Paul yelled. "What now!"

"Me..." A girl said, from behind them. Paul and Daniel turned around to see Lain.

"Lain?" Daniel said in shock.

"Of course you remember me... Mr. King of Games..." She said with a serious look on her face.

"Why are you here?" Daniel asked.

"For revenge..." She growled.

"Revenge? You've got to be kidding me." Paul smirked. "You have no idea what you're getting yourself into."

"Shut up! We duel now! It'll be a two on one duel, I'm your opponent. The person who makes the winning play passes onto the next room." Lain said, walking to one side of the room.

"Why are you in this in the first place?!" Daniel asked.

"Revenge... Do I have to repeat myself?!" Lain yelled as her Duel Xero folded out. Lain then swiftly slid her deck into the Deck Holster. Her life point counter then rose to 4000. "I've been humiliated by you and your friends too long... I'm going to take you out..."

"And what will this accomplish?! I have more things on my mind than dueling you!" Daniel yelled. "People like Jin don't EVER get what they want and soon you'll just stoop down to his level!"

"Duel now unless you want to see you're stupid family!" Lain yelled.

Paul smirked as his Duel Xero folded out. "Fine. If you're the reason I have to get to Jin, then I'll accept your challenge!" Paul yelled.

Daniel sighed, looking down. "Lain... I don't want to make you feel any worse." He said.

Paul looked at Dan. "If you're not in then you won't save your family." Paul said, inpatiently.

Daniel looked at Paul then Lain. "Fine...." He said, stepping up. Dan's Duel Xero then folded out and slid his deck in.

Lain smiled. "You morons won't stand a chance now. I'm working for Jin and you will all suffer!" Lain laughed evilly.
