Destiny - Chapter 2 (Ninjas and other flying things)
Mai (5000LP) v Magnum (4800LP)
Magnum begins his turn by summoning Dark Ninja (3/1250/500) and activates its special ability to special summon Ninja of Light (3/1000/1000) in attack mode to the field. Two ninjas, one clad in black and the other in white appear on the field. Magnum activates a magic card, Magical Kite, which allows a monster to directly attack the opponent's life points, which is then equipped to Dark Ninja. "I'll attack your life points directly with Dark Ninja," the black ninja flies with the Kite and strikes Mai's life points directly (Mai 3750LP). "And, I'll add a card face down and end my turn." Mai begins her turn by drawing a card and declares, "I summon Amazoness Archer (3/1200/500), in attack mode," and a woman archer appears on the field. Mai orders Amazoness Archer to attack Ninja of Light and Ninja of Light is destroyed. (Magnum 4400LP) Mai declares the end of her turn. It is now Magnum's turn and he draws, "I summon Ninja of Elements (4/1500/1300), in attack mode. And I activate the magic card, Temple of Ninjas, which allows me to summon another Ninja to the field in defence mode." Magnum pulls out Ninja Destroyer (3/800/1300) and activates its special effect, which allows it to destroy Harpy Lady at the cost of 500 LP. (Magnum 3900LP) Magnum then attacks Mai's life points directly with Dark Ninja (Mai 2500 LP), and ends his turn.
Mai is worried as she is steadily losing the duel; she needs to draw a good card to help her get back on track, and Magnum's Gravity Bind is preventing her monsters from attacking. Mai draws and its Harpy's Feather Duster, "I activate the magic card, Harpy's Feather Duster, which will destroy all traps and magic cards on your side of the field." A storm of feathers swept over the field and Magnum's magic/trap zone was cleared. "I'll now summon Harpy Lady (4/1300/1400) and activate the magic card I had face down, Elegant Egotist to special summon Harpy Lady Sisters (6/1950/2100). Harpy Lady attack Magnum's Ninja Destroyer." Mai's Harpy Lady, unleashed its claws and attacked the Ninja Destroyer which exploded into a shower of digital fragments. Mai ordered her Harpy Lady Sisters to destroy Magnum's Ninja of Elements (Magnum 3950LP). Magnum looked enraged as the Harpy Lady Sisters destroyed Magnum's Ninja and dealt damage to his Life Points. Mai ended her turn and Magnum drew a card. "I play the Ritual Magic Card, Patriarch's Order, to summon Spirit Ninja of Flame (7/2550/2400)." A ninja in black appeared on the field, adorned with little finery, but behind it stood an image of dragons of fire. Magnum ordered Spirit Ninja of Flame to attack Harpy Lady Sisters. The ninja, started to draw a mysterious symbol with its fingers and suddenly a flaming dragon appeared out of its hand attacked the Harpy Lady Sisters, obliterating them in flame. (Mai 1900LP) Magnum ended his turn by placing one card face down.
Mai drew and played Harpy Lady - Houou Formation, a magic card which was countered with by Magnum's Magic Jammer, Magnum discarded one card to the graveyard. Mai then set one card face down on the field, and ended her turn. Magnum drew and attacked with Spirit Ninja of Flame, Mai said, "You just ran into my trap card, Mirror Wall, which reduces the attack of your monster in half, Harpy Lady counter attack." The Harpy Lady destroyed the Ninja (Magnum 3900LP). Magnum laughed, "You've activated the Spirit Ninja of Flame's special effect, it can special summon Spirit Ninja of Ancestors (6/2300/1800) to the field." Another ninja took the field, and Magnum ended his turn. Mai drew and said, 'I can't pay the 2000 LP to keep Mirror Wall on the field so I'll send it to the graveyard. And I'll summon Cyber Harpy (4/1800/1300) in defence mode, and I'll switch my Harpy Lady to defence mode and end my turn by placing 2 cards face down." Magnum drew and summoned Swift Ninja (4/1200/1300) in attack mode. Magnum then played a magic card from his hand, Poisoned Ninja Stars, and equipped it onto Swift Ninja. Magnum ordered, "Swift Ninja attack Cyber Harpy with ninja stars." Mai countered, "I activate Negate Attack, stopping you from attacking." Magnum angered, ended his turn. Mai thought to herself, "The Spirit Ninja is my biggest problem right now, so I'll need a better monster to get rid of it." She drew and played a magic card, Harpy's Pact with Dragon, "this allows me to special summon Harpy's Pet Dragon to the field at the cost of half my life points," (Mai 950LP) A dragon appeared on the field, with a silver chain around its neck. "Harpy's Pet Dragon special effect gives it an extra 300 attack points for each face up Harpy Lady I have on the field and I have 2 so it has 2600 attack points, now Harpy's Pet Dragon, attack Spirit Ninja of Ancestors." The dragon shot a fireball from its mouth which engulfed the ninja destroying it. (Magnum 3600LP) Mai then attacked with Cyber Harpy, which destroyed the Swift Ninja (Magnum 3000LP) and attacked directly with Harpy Lady (Magnum 1700 LP). Mai then declared the end of her turn, but was shocked to see her Cyber Harpy blow up in a cloud of fragments. Magnum explained, "A monster equipped with Poisonous Ninja Stars destroys any monster that attacked it at the end of turn."
Magnum drew and laughed, "You've almost lost now." I play the magic card Monster Reborn, which allows me to special summon a monster from the graveyard onto the field. And I choose Spirit Ninja of Flame (7/2550/2400)." The ninja with the silhouette of dragons appeared back on the field. Magnum then summoned Ninja Infiltrator (2/600/400) to the field. "Spirit Ninja of Flame attack Harpy's Pet Dragon and destroy it." Another flame dragon shot out of the ninja's palm and destroyed the dragon, as it has lost 300 attack points with the destruction of Cyber Harpy, bringing its attack down to 2300. (Mai 750LP), and Ninja Infiltrator attacked Mai directly because of its special ability which allows it to attack Life Points Directly even if the opponent had monster on the field. (Mai 150LP) Things looked really bad for Mai, with only a Harpy Lady on the field against Magnum's more powerful Spirit Ninja of Flame. Magnum boasted, "Mai, looks like you are going to lose next turn." And then he ended his turn
Mai needed some luck and so she hoped it would be this card. She drew and yes, it was the card she needed. "Well, you've played well but now I've won. I summon Dunames Dark Witch (4/1800/1050) in attack mode and activate the magic card, Ritual of Saint Griffin. By sacrificing one Harpy on the field and one in my hand, I can summon Royal Saint Griffin (8/3050/2300)." Magnum panicked, "Oh no!" Mai then ordered, "Royal Saint Griffin attack his Ninja Spirit and Dunames Dark Witch attack his Ninja Infiltrator." The Griffin dived in with its claws and attacked the Ninja destroying it (Magnum 1200LP) and then the Witch attacked the Ninja Infiltrator with its magic obliterating it. (Magnum 0LP) Mai had won, the digital field disappeared and Mai approached Magnum, "looks like I beat you again, now hand over the locator card." Magnum handed Mai his locator card, and vowed to get his revenge next time before stalking off.
Amun walked around the backstreets of the city where it was peaceful and quiet, hoping to find a duellist for a challenge. Suddenly, he noticed his scars beginning to glow a crimson red, and a boy jumped in front of him. When Amun peered carefully at him, he noticed the boy's eyes were glazed over, he seemed to be missing something. The boy spoke, "I hunt souls for my master and I want yours. I challenge you to a duel for one locator card, if you lose I will take your soul."
Amun answered with strong conviction, "Reveal yourself, soulless one, reveal the one behind you. And I accept your challenge." The young boy shuffled around, "I won't reveal myself for now, it's not important, you'll find out after I win and take your soul and make you one of my puppets. Let's duel. I'll go first."
Duel 2: Amun (5000LP) v Soul Hunter 1 (5000LP) – Exodia/Exodia Necros
The Soul Hunter began by playing the magic card, Painful Choice, which allows him to pick 5 cards from his deck and opponent chooses 4 to put into graveyard. The Soul Hunter picks all 5 pieces of Exodia. Amun chooses 4 of them to put into the graveyard. The Soul Hunter then summons a monster face down in defence mode and ends his turn. Amun draws a card, and summons the monster X-Head Cannon (4/1800/1500) in attack mode and attack the face down monster. X-Head Cannon attacks and the Soul Hunter's monster, Exodia's head, is destroyed and put into the graveyard. Amun lays one card face down and ends his turn.
The Soul Hunted draws, "I now play the magic card, Pact with Exodia, which allows me to summon, Exodia Necros (4/1800/0), and I'll end my turn after placing two cards face down." Amun draws another card, "I'll play Y-Dragon Head (4/1500/1600) also in attack mode and equip them together to form XY-Dragon Cannon (4/2200/2400). Now XY-Dragon Cannon, attack Exodia Necros." The Dragon Cannon attacked with its beams but Exodia Necros was not destroyed. The Soul Hunter laughed, "Don't you know, that Exodia Necros can't be destroyed as a result of battle?" Amun replied calmly, "Of course I do, soulless one but you still take the life point damage." (Soul Hunter 4600LP) Amun ended his turn.
Soul Hunter draws a card, "Exodia Necros gains 500 attack points, making it 2300, and so I'll attack your XY-Dragon Cannon." Amun says calmly, "I activate Negate Attack, skipping your attack phase for this turn." "Grr...you annoying insect, I'll take your soul yet. You may have stopped my attack this turn but next turn I'll get you. I end my turn." Amun draws, "I summon Z-Metal Caterpillar, and equip it to XY-Dragon Cannon to form XYZ- Dragon Cannon (4/2800/2600) and I attack your Exodia Necros." (Soul Hunter 4100LP) Amun ended his turn. Soul Hunter draws a card and Exodia Necros gains another 500 Attack points, (Exodia Necros 2800AP). "Ha!Ha! I'll attack your XYZ-Dragon Cannon, and since Exodia Necros cannot be destroyed as a result of battle only your XYZ-Dragon Cannon goes to the graveyard. Now you are dead." The Soul Hunter ended his turn.
Without any monsters on the field Amun was in a precarious position. He drew a card, it wasn't the card he needed. "I'll put a card face-down and end my turn." The Soul Hunter drew a card and laughed, "You've got nothing and that pitiful trap card won't work on Exodia Necros, Exodia Necros attack his life points directly." Amun was pushed back by the force of the blow from Exodia Necros. (Amun 1700LP), "Your soul will be mine next turn," the Soul Hunter gloated as he ended his turn. Amun's eyes burned with a great fire as he steeled himself for his draw.

4. Mai and Magnum's history/backstory: Mai promised Magnum that if he beat her in a Duel Monsters game, she would marry him. He tried to claim on the promise in Battle City (stop the Contracts jokes before you even think about them) but failed and then he tried to take her by force but that failed too. I decided this would be an appetizer before we got into the main course, so to speak. Anyways, I just made him bitter about that incident and looking for revenge on her.
