Yugi, Joey, and Michael walking through the forest to finally get out of
it.
"So Yugi," Joey said. "When didja get that Solemn Judgment? Don't remember you ever using that before."
"Oh? That?" Yugi said. "It was one of the new rare cards I got in a booster pack, it's great to use at the end of a duel."
"As we saw just now," added Michael.
"What other cards you got in there?" Joey asked.
"Oh, you'll see," Yugi told him.
"Ah, that ain't fair," Joey said. "I showed you my rare cards."
"Don't worry," Yugi said. "We'll have plenty of duels to see all of our cards in action.
As they finally got through the forest they entered a large meadow where three arenas were up and three duels were taking place. But dozens of people had gathered around one of them, one person dueling was Espa Roba, the other duelist none of them could tell who it could be from the distance, as they joined the crowd, Michael pointed out.
"It's Ryan Stone," he said with an angry tone in his voice.
"Ryan Stone?" Joey asked. "The guy you dueled?"
"Yeah," said Yugi. "But you should watch out for him, he's a loose cannon."
Ryan was about as tall as Michael, about an inch shorter. He had naturally red spiky hair some of it went up and some went down he had hazel eyes and was wearing a dark blue, almost black t-shirt with blue jeans, and a faded green jacket.
On the field, Espa had The Fiend Megacyber (2200/1200) in attack mode, and Reflect Bounder (1700/1000) in defense mode.
Ryan had a Kaiser Glider (2400/2200), Giant Red Seasnake (1800/800), and Luster Dragon (1900/1600) out all in attack mode but all of them looked different and that was because Ryan had a DNA Surgery out and all the monsters looked robotic.
Their life point count was at:
Espa Roba: 2400
Ryan Stone: 5800
And it was Ryan's turn and he played his world famous finisher move. He played Limiter Removal doubling all his monsters' attack points and sent them to attack. The Giant Red Seasnake coiled around Reflect Bounder and devoured it. Luster Dragon exhaled a river of sapphire flames melting right through Megacyber's armor making a big hole through its chest and it collapsed to the ground dropping Espa's life points to 1100. And Kaiser Glider finished off the rest of his life points by flying at Mach speeds past Espa Roba trailing behind it a wave of flames covering him and the duel was over.
As the platforms dropped, Espa Roba and Ryan Stone walked over each other and a grief-stricken Espa gave his only four star chips to Ryan who had five already and now had a total of nine and Espa Roba was eliminated from the tournament.
As Espa walked back to the docks, Ryan walked the opposite way passed Yugi, Joey and Michael and muttered, "'Cosmic Forces' my ass."
"What's that Stone?" Michael said. "Gotta pick on regional champions to win your star chips?"
Ryan stopped, not noticing Michael until now, "Shut up Laskow. Mr. Pink-and- Green was riding my ass since I was on the boat, he wanted to fight saying I was afraid because the 'Cosmic Forces' were in his favor so I gave him what he wanted. But frankly, all my duels so far have been one-sided since everyone who's challenged me doesn't know what they're up against."
"Yeah? Well ever since you lost, you've been a drama-queen and beatin' up on little kids, that's disgraceful!" Joey said to Ryan.
"Get your stories straight, moron," Ryan told Joey. "Did Laskow tell you that? I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Laskow, you think I'm the one who's been acting strange you're one to talk. I don't want to duel you anymore, you're telling people I'm a disgrace, but in duels, you've showed no mercy to anyone even when they concede the duel, you're the real disgrace."
Ryan then walked off into the forest and was gone.
"I really don't like that guy," Joey said to the others. "I'd just like to..."
"Hey did you hear? Some guy's got two big dueling gloves and he already has over 20 star chips! He's using insects and no one's been able to beat him." one duelist said to the other as they ran to a part of the forest.
"Insects? No it couldn't be," Yugi said.
"If Weevil Under-wear was on the ships he woulda been on mine," Joey said. "How'd he get here?"
"Well let's go check it out," Michael said and the three of them followed after the two duelists.
When they arrived to the dueling arena, there was a small crowd of duelists watching the current duel on one side was a La Jinn but it paled in comparison to what was .
"Go my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth! Wipe out his pathetic defenses! Poisonous Tornado!" said an incredibly shrill voice as the enormous insect flapped its wings and created a mighty wind creating a cloud of poisonous gas towards La Jinn and it was destroyed as well as the duelist's life points. As the platforms dropped, the kid went to give the one star chip he had wagered but the insect duelist pulled out some squirt gun shooting some goop into the kid's eyes, and while the duelist was blinded, he took off his dueling gauntlet and took the remaining two star chips from his glove and threw the glove back to the ground and got back on his platform away from danger.
"It's Weevil!" Yugi and Joey said at the same time.
It was indeed Weevil Underwood, he had his bright yellow glasses with a Hercules beetle in the center of the glasses and had a lime green jacket with a black silhouette of a beetle covering up most of the front.
The duelist got the goop out of his eyes and tried to jump up to get back at Weevil but couldn't make it to the top and Weevil made taunting faces at him.
"Since you have no star chips, you'll be going now," Weevil said to him as he pulled out a remote control with one red button on it and he pressed it and in seconds, two security guards appeared and took the star-chip-less duelist away.
"NOOO!!" shouted the duelist while kicking, "I'll get you for this Underwood! You'd better sleep with the lights on!!!"
"So now, who's brave enough to challenge Weevil Underwood?" he asked the crowd of duelists, but they all left, disturbed by what happened except for them.
"Wheeler! Muto!" shouted Weevil. "I thought I'd find you two here! Oh how sweet it will be to knock you both out of the tournament! I'll duel Muto first, I need a challenge."
"Oh no, you'll be dueling me," said Michael as he pulled out his duel disk and placed it on his left arm and rose up on the platform.
"Back off, I said Muto," Weevil said.
"Well too bad, you're dueling me instead," said Michael.
'Oh no, boss isn't going to like this,' thought Weevil.
"Fine then," Weevil said as he shuffled his deck, but his shuffling was really stacking his deck.
"Let's Duel!" the two duelists said as their life points went up to 8000.
"I'll start first," Weevil said as he drew his card. "I first start by playing the field card, Forest," and then the entire field they were playing sprouted trees bushes and grass. "And I'll play Girochin Kuwagata (1700/1000) and he gets a field power bonus of 500 making him a 2200/1500 and playing one magic or trap card face down in defense mode ending my turn."
"There's another new rule," said Yugi. "Field power bonuses now give a +500 bonus."
"Good but not good enough," said Michael drawing his first card. "I play Goblin Attack Force (2300/0)," as the dozens of goblins appeared on the field, static appeared and the hoard of little green goblins vanished from the field. "What the hell!?"
"Hee hee hee," laughed Weevil. "Guess you don't know all the rules yet. Monsters with attack power of 2001 or more have to have at least one sacrifice to be brought out, that's sad, a world champion not knowing the rules."
"Then I'll end my turn playing one magic or trap card face down," said Michael, grumbling.
Weevil's turn-
"After I beat you, I'll claim your title and be the new world champion and it begins with this," Weevil drew his card. "Just as I thought, I play Arsenal Bug (2000/2000) and from the forest, he his stats increase to 2500/2500 and I'll equip Girochin Kuwagata with Laser Cannon Armor making him a 2500/1800," the small insect got armor on its shoulders and a large laser cannon appeared on his back. "Now say good-bye to your life points! Attack my insects!" Arsenal Bug armed with its sword slashed across the belly of Michael and Girochin fired a laser blast at Michael but he flipped a face down card.
"I activate Magical Cylinder," Michael said and a Cylinder took the laser blast and turned around redirecting the attack back Weevil and leaving him in a cloud of smoke.
"Don't think I'm finished with you, yet Laskow," Weevil said. "I have more luscious insects to serve up!"
Weevil: 5500 Michael: 5500
Michael's turn-
"I play Great Angus (1800/600) in attack mode," a big red battle-scarred beast with protruding tusks appeared and his stats were showing but they went up even further to 2300/1100. "Beast cards also get the power bonus of the forest, but that isn't all, I play Black Pendant increasing his attack to 2800. And now I'll attack Girochin, Great Angus, Crusher Fist!" The Black Pendant made Great Angus have an illumination of black around him and with his giant fist, he crushed the small Girochin. "Plus, I know the effect of Arsenal Bug, if he's the only face up insect on your side of the field his stats drop to 1000/1000, without the power bonus."
Weevil: 5200
Michael: 5500
Weevil's turn-
"I draw," Weevil said. "And I play this card face down in defense mode and switch my Arsenal Bug to defense mode and I'm afraid that's the best I can do."
"I'd never believe Weevil for a second," Joey said. "You can't let anything get passed him I'd watch out for that face down card."
Yugi nodded in agreement looking at the flashing floor of the facedown card.
Michael's turn-
"I'll play Giant Rat (1400/1450) and since he's a beast his stats increase to 1900/1950. And with my two monsters I'll attack your two monsters." Giant Rat jumped up and gave Arsenal Bug a lethal bite, destroying it and as Black Angus was about to hurl his fist into the face down card, the card flipped up and a pink leech coiled it self around Great Angus and began sucking his blood.
"Ah sweet, nourishing blood," said Weevil as his life points went up to 6600. "Thanks to my leech, Kiseitai, whenever he gets attacked, he attaches to that monster and as each turn passes; I'll gain life points half as much as your Great Angus there."
"Ugh," said Joey in disgust, "Weevil used that same card on my Jinzo when I dueled him, he's gotta sacrifice his card and fast."
Weevil's turn-
"I'll play one card face down in defense mode and another magic or trap card face down."
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card and sighed with relief, "Time to test out this new summoning rule. I'll sacrifice my Great Angus along with that leech attached to it bring out Suijin (2500/2400). Plus from Black Pendant, you lose 500 life points." As the red beast faded and fired black blast at Weevil, the water god Suijin appeared.
"Hey if he can bring out Suijin with one sacrifice, then that must also work with my Dark Magician," Yugi said. "That's good to know."
"And I'll send my Giant Rat to attack your face down card," as the giant rat ran up and the card flipped face up and it was Parasite Paracide.
"Hahaha!" laughed Weevil. "Now you're in for it, you activate my Parasite Paracide's ability. He is placed in your deck which I have to shuffle and when you draw the card, the fun really begins!"
Michael placed his deck on a compartment on the platform and it was sent over to Weevil and he placed the card in his deck and shuffled it and returned it back to Michael.
"But also, you left your life points wide open for my Suijin," Michael said. "Go Suijin Hydro Pressure!" Suijin unleashed a great amount of water hitting Weevil hard.
Weevil: 3600
Michael: 5500
Weevil's turn-
"Only a small price to pay for what's going to happen to you." Weevil said as he drew his card. "I play Petit Moth (300/200) in attack mode but it begins its state of evolution with the Cocoon of Evolution (0/2000) and its stats raise to 500/2500, enough to endure your Suijin and soon he will metamorphose into my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. And for the fun of it, I flip my other face down card, Insect Barrier and placing another magic or trap card, face down ending my turn.
"That can't be good," Joey said.
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card but regretted it, it was Parasite Paracide (500/300) and its other effect activated. Michael placed it in defense mode and he lost 1000 life points and the parasite's tentacles burrowed in the Giant Rat and Suijin rupturing all over the place, squiggling about.
Joey, Yugi, and Michael were all disgusted at the sight.
"Aw man I hated that card," Joey said. "I couldn't get rid of it."
"But even worse is that Weevil cheated," Yugi said. "He made sure that the next card Michael would draw would be Parasite Paracide. I'm sure that isn't the first time he's done that either."
Robert couldn't hear what they were saying over Weevil's gloating but he thought the same thing but all he had in his hand were useless magic and trap cards and low level monsters.
"Then I play Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) in defense mode," but not even stone was safe from the parasite as it burrowed into and stuck out in numerous places in the rock warrior.
Weevil's turn-
"Now another turn has passed and my little petit moth begins its metamorphosis and I'll play Pot of Greed drawing two cards and I'll play two magic or trap cards face down ending my turn.
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card and smiled, "That cocoon will never hatch Underwood, I sacrifice my..."
"Not so fast!" shouted Weevil as he flipped one of his face down cards. "I activate my trap card, Mask of Restrict," a creepy looking mask with fangs and horns appeared behind the cocoon. "That means you have to keep my Parasite on the field, too bad!"
"Dammit," said Michael. "You're just being a thorn in my side Underwood, then I'll play The Dragon Dwelling in the Cave (1300/2000) ending my turn." And in seconds, the Parasite infected the dragon.
Weevil's turn-
"I draw and I play Pinch Hopper (1200/1000) in attack mode and he becomes a 1700/1500 from the forest," said Weevil. "Just four turns until my monster becomes perfect.
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card but nothing helped him so he passed his turn.
Weevil's turn-
"Looks like the world champion's going to retire early," Weevil said smugly as he drew his card. "I play another magic or trap card face down."
Michael's turn-
Michael drew again but still, another strong monster that he needed a sacrifice for so he passed.
Weevil's turn-
Weevil drew his card and said, "Now here's something you're going to hate, I flip my two face down cards, Pyro Clock of Destiny and for each one, a whole turn passes, so two turns pass and next turn my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth will emerge, I hope you're ready for me to be the World Champion!"
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card making him have a total of seven and not one could be used and with Insect Barrier out, he couldn't attack so he did the next best thing, "I switch all my monsters in defense mode ending my turn.
Weevil's turn-
Weevil drew his card and laughed triumphantly now emerge my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, arise from your cocoon!" And it did, it was enormous, and Yugi never saw Weevil play this card before and it had power and defense to match its size of 3500/3000.
"Because my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth was special summoned, he has to wait a turn to attack but he still gets the power bonus of 4000/3500, making him unstoppable! But my Pinch Hopper's hardly a match but I know of an equal card, I first play Eradicating Aerosol destroying my Pinch Hopper but activating his special ability, I get to summon any insect from my deck onto the field! And I choose my Insect Queen (2200/2400)!" The Insect Queen appeared and let out a roar.
"Yes roar my queen! Here comes the pain, Laskow. For every insect on the field, my queen gains 200 attack points and there are six insects on the field right now so she gains 1200 attack points making her a 3400/2400 and from the forest, she gains a field power bonus making her a 3900/2900! But instead of having two powerful monsters, I'll have one super strong monster. Insect Queen! Devour my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!" Insect Queen did and it was not a pleasant sight to behold. Yugi, Joey, and Michael looked away but when it was over, Insect Queen's attack power was 7100 since there were now 5 insects on the field.
Michael's turn-
Michael drew a card and said to himself, "Finally!" he slipped the magic card in an empty slot underneath where the monsters were played and said, "I play Giant Trunade returning Mask of Restrict, the Forest field card and Insect Barrier back to your hand. And I sacrifice Giant Rat to bring out Dark Dust Spirit! And from his effect, all monsters on the field including your powerful Insect Queen are destroyed!" It was so, Dark Dust Spirit appeared clenching his body then opened up unleashing a wave of darkness, rotting all the monsters on the field to dust leaving Weevil wide open for an attack. "Attack Dark Dust Spirit! Claws of the Dead!" The Spirit raised up his arms, slammed them the ground and an enormous claw rose from ground and grasping Weevil very tight then releasing him, and the Dark Dust Spirit vanished returning back to Michael's hand. "Plus from Giant Rat, I get to Special Summon an Earth elemental monster of 1500 or less attack, and I choose Giant Soldier of Stone in attack mode and place one magic or trap card face down in attack mode ending my turn."
Weevil: 1400
Michael: 5500
Weevil's turn-
Weevil drew his card but it didn't help him, because he stacked his deck, and at this time he'd expect to be ripping through Michael's monsters with his supped-up Insect Queen, so he thought he wouldn't need another monster to attack with, he dropped his cards on the platform on his knees, and shouted to Michael, "I beg of you! Please, spare me! If I lose the duel you don't know what could happen!"
Michael looked darkly into Weevil and smirked.
Michael's turn-
Joey and Yugi looked at Weevil and he looked like an empty shell of himself, both of them looked at him and saw pure fear and Yugi told Michael, "He has seen enough, Michael, he can't duel anymore, spare him."
Michael looked darkly over to Yugi and said, "No..."
"I sacrifice my Giant Soldier of Stone to bring out my Dark Dust Spirit again," he said over to Weevil who was now on the verge of crying out of fear. "Dark Dust Spirit, crush him once more and do away with him." The zombie spirit raised up his arms again and the giant claw rose out of the ground and began to grasp Weevil but before the pressure could be applied, the claws faded from around Weevil and were gone as was the spirit, the duel was over and Michael looked over to Weevil and said, "Got ya!"
Michael began laughing because he psyched Weevil out like that, making him almost cry as his platform dropped to the ground but Weevil's platform remained up there, still afraid. Then Weevil stood up all of a sudden grasping his head.
"No, master it was an accident!" Weevil shouted but Yugi, Joey and Michael were confused and know who he was talking to. "Master, I was going to duel Muto, but that guy tricked me into dueling him," Weevil shouted.
"Weevil's gone nuts," Joey said.
"Please master, give me another chance!" Weevil hollered.
Weevil then all of a sudden, stood up straight, and extended his arms out in a crucifix position and walked backwards right on the edge of the platform, "Please master, not this!"
"What's he doing?" Michael said.
Weevil's head turned towards Yugi and the millennium symbol appeared on his head, illuminating gold, "You may have defeated this eliminator, but he was weak there six others much stronger than this pathetic cheater," said a voice that sounded partially like Weevil's but there was another voice speaking in unison, which Yugi instantly recognized.
"Salazar! Don't do it!" shouted Yugi.
But it was too late, Weevil Underwood still with his arms extended out, had leaned back and fell off the platform for a fifteen foot drop...
NOTE: I am not exactly sure if Insect Queen or Weevil's other insects have those precise effects, but they were on the TV show, and that's where I got the idea.
And here are the new rules for Duelist Kingdom:
1. 8000 Life points
2. Monsters that require no sacrifices have to have 2000 or less
attack/defense points.
3. Monsters that require 1 sacrifice have 2001-2500 attack/defense
points.
Example: A Red-Eyes Black Dragon only needs one sacrifice to be
summoned.
4. Monsters with 2501 and above attack/defense points need 2 sacrifices.
5. Normal Field cards like Sogen, Forest, Mountain and Umi now give
+500/+500 instead of the normal 200. Other field cards such as Gaia
Power, Luminous Spark, Molten Destruction, etc now give +750/-500. Other
Field cards like Necrovalley that specifically target one type of card
have their same effects. And each duelist can play at least one field
card and if they play other, the other one is cancelled out and sent to
the graveyard.
I hope this solved a lot of confusion and please continue enjoying this fic.
"So Yugi," Joey said. "When didja get that Solemn Judgment? Don't remember you ever using that before."
"Oh? That?" Yugi said. "It was one of the new rare cards I got in a booster pack, it's great to use at the end of a duel."
"As we saw just now," added Michael.
"What other cards you got in there?" Joey asked.
"Oh, you'll see," Yugi told him.
"Ah, that ain't fair," Joey said. "I showed you my rare cards."
"Don't worry," Yugi said. "We'll have plenty of duels to see all of our cards in action.
As they finally got through the forest they entered a large meadow where three arenas were up and three duels were taking place. But dozens of people had gathered around one of them, one person dueling was Espa Roba, the other duelist none of them could tell who it could be from the distance, as they joined the crowd, Michael pointed out.
"It's Ryan Stone," he said with an angry tone in his voice.
"Ryan Stone?" Joey asked. "The guy you dueled?"
"Yeah," said Yugi. "But you should watch out for him, he's a loose cannon."
Ryan was about as tall as Michael, about an inch shorter. He had naturally red spiky hair some of it went up and some went down he had hazel eyes and was wearing a dark blue, almost black t-shirt with blue jeans, and a faded green jacket.
On the field, Espa had The Fiend Megacyber (2200/1200) in attack mode, and Reflect Bounder (1700/1000) in defense mode.
Ryan had a Kaiser Glider (2400/2200), Giant Red Seasnake (1800/800), and Luster Dragon (1900/1600) out all in attack mode but all of them looked different and that was because Ryan had a DNA Surgery out and all the monsters looked robotic.
Their life point count was at:
Espa Roba: 2400
Ryan Stone: 5800
And it was Ryan's turn and he played his world famous finisher move. He played Limiter Removal doubling all his monsters' attack points and sent them to attack. The Giant Red Seasnake coiled around Reflect Bounder and devoured it. Luster Dragon exhaled a river of sapphire flames melting right through Megacyber's armor making a big hole through its chest and it collapsed to the ground dropping Espa's life points to 1100. And Kaiser Glider finished off the rest of his life points by flying at Mach speeds past Espa Roba trailing behind it a wave of flames covering him and the duel was over.
As the platforms dropped, Espa Roba and Ryan Stone walked over each other and a grief-stricken Espa gave his only four star chips to Ryan who had five already and now had a total of nine and Espa Roba was eliminated from the tournament.
As Espa walked back to the docks, Ryan walked the opposite way passed Yugi, Joey and Michael and muttered, "'Cosmic Forces' my ass."
"What's that Stone?" Michael said. "Gotta pick on regional champions to win your star chips?"
Ryan stopped, not noticing Michael until now, "Shut up Laskow. Mr. Pink-and- Green was riding my ass since I was on the boat, he wanted to fight saying I was afraid because the 'Cosmic Forces' were in his favor so I gave him what he wanted. But frankly, all my duels so far have been one-sided since everyone who's challenged me doesn't know what they're up against."
"Yeah? Well ever since you lost, you've been a drama-queen and beatin' up on little kids, that's disgraceful!" Joey said to Ryan.
"Get your stories straight, moron," Ryan told Joey. "Did Laskow tell you that? I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Laskow, you think I'm the one who's been acting strange you're one to talk. I don't want to duel you anymore, you're telling people I'm a disgrace, but in duels, you've showed no mercy to anyone even when they concede the duel, you're the real disgrace."
Ryan then walked off into the forest and was gone.
"I really don't like that guy," Joey said to the others. "I'd just like to..."
"Hey did you hear? Some guy's got two big dueling gloves and he already has over 20 star chips! He's using insects and no one's been able to beat him." one duelist said to the other as they ran to a part of the forest.
"Insects? No it couldn't be," Yugi said.
"If Weevil Under-wear was on the ships he woulda been on mine," Joey said. "How'd he get here?"
"Well let's go check it out," Michael said and the three of them followed after the two duelists.
When they arrived to the dueling arena, there was a small crowd of duelists watching the current duel on one side was a La Jinn but it paled in comparison to what was .
"Go my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth! Wipe out his pathetic defenses! Poisonous Tornado!" said an incredibly shrill voice as the enormous insect flapped its wings and created a mighty wind creating a cloud of poisonous gas towards La Jinn and it was destroyed as well as the duelist's life points. As the platforms dropped, the kid went to give the one star chip he had wagered but the insect duelist pulled out some squirt gun shooting some goop into the kid's eyes, and while the duelist was blinded, he took off his dueling gauntlet and took the remaining two star chips from his glove and threw the glove back to the ground and got back on his platform away from danger.
"It's Weevil!" Yugi and Joey said at the same time.
It was indeed Weevil Underwood, he had his bright yellow glasses with a Hercules beetle in the center of the glasses and had a lime green jacket with a black silhouette of a beetle covering up most of the front.
The duelist got the goop out of his eyes and tried to jump up to get back at Weevil but couldn't make it to the top and Weevil made taunting faces at him.

"So now, who's brave enough to challenge Weevil Underwood?" he asked the crowd of duelists, but they all left, disturbed by what happened except for them.
"Wheeler! Muto!" shouted Weevil. "I thought I'd find you two here! Oh how sweet it will be to knock you both out of the tournament! I'll duel Muto first, I need a challenge."

'Oh no, boss isn't going to like this,' thought Weevil.
"Fine then," Weevil said as he shuffled his deck, but his shuffling was really stacking his deck.
"Let's Duel!" the two duelists said as their life points went up to 8000.
"I'll start first," Weevil said as he drew his card. "I first start by playing the field card, Forest," and then the entire field they were playing sprouted trees bushes and grass. "And I'll play Girochin Kuwagata (1700/1000) and he gets a field power bonus of 500 making him a 2200/1500 and playing one magic or trap card face down in defense mode ending my turn."
"There's another new rule," said Yugi. "Field power bonuses now give a +500 bonus."
"Good but not good enough," said Michael drawing his first card. "I play Goblin Attack Force (2300/0)," as the dozens of goblins appeared on the field, static appeared and the hoard of little green goblins vanished from the field. "What the hell!?"

"Just as I thought, I play Arsenal Bug (2000/2000) and from the forest, he his stats increase to 2500/2500 and I'll equip Girochin Kuwagata with Laser Cannon Armor making him a 2500/1800," the small insect got armor on its shoulders and a large laser cannon appeared on his back. "Now say good-bye to your life points! Attack my insects!" Arsenal Bug armed with its sword slashed across the belly of Michael and Girochin fired a laser blast at Michael but he flipped a face down card.
"I activate Magical Cylinder," Michael said and a Cylinder took the laser blast and turned around redirecting the attack back Weevil and leaving him in a cloud of smoke.
"Don't think I'm finished with you, yet Laskow," Weevil said. "I have more luscious insects to serve up!"
Weevil: 5500 Michael: 5500
Michael's turn-
"I play Great Angus (1800/600) in attack mode," a big red battle-scarred beast with protruding tusks appeared and his stats were showing but they went up even further to 2300/1100. "Beast cards also get the power bonus of the forest, but that isn't all, I play Black Pendant increasing his attack to 2800. And now I'll attack Girochin, Great Angus, Crusher Fist!" The Black Pendant made Great Angus have an illumination of black around him and with his giant fist, he crushed the small Girochin. "Plus, I know the effect of Arsenal Bug, if he's the only face up insect on your side of the field his stats drop to 1000/1000, without the power bonus."
Weevil: 5200
Michael: 5500
Weevil's turn-
"I draw," Weevil said. "And I play this card face down in defense mode and switch my Arsenal Bug to defense mode and I'm afraid that's the best I can do."
"I'd never believe Weevil for a second," Joey said. "You can't let anything get passed him I'd watch out for that face down card."
Yugi nodded in agreement looking at the flashing floor of the facedown card.
Michael's turn-
"I'll play Giant Rat (1400/1450) and since he's a beast his stats increase to 1900/1950. And with my two monsters I'll attack your two monsters." Giant Rat jumped up and gave Arsenal Bug a lethal bite, destroying it and as Black Angus was about to hurl his fist into the face down card, the card flipped up and a pink leech coiled it self around Great Angus and began sucking his blood.
"Ah sweet, nourishing blood," said Weevil as his life points went up to 6600. "Thanks to my leech, Kiseitai, whenever he gets attacked, he attaches to that monster and as each turn passes; I'll gain life points half as much as your Great Angus there."
"Ugh," said Joey in disgust, "Weevil used that same card on my Jinzo when I dueled him, he's gotta sacrifice his card and fast."
Weevil's turn-
"I'll play one card face down in defense mode and another magic or trap card face down."
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card and sighed with relief, "Time to test out this new summoning rule. I'll sacrifice my Great Angus along with that leech attached to it bring out Suijin (2500/2400). Plus from Black Pendant, you lose 500 life points." As the red beast faded and fired black blast at Weevil, the water god Suijin appeared.
"Hey if he can bring out Suijin with one sacrifice, then that must also work with my Dark Magician," Yugi said. "That's good to know."
"And I'll send my Giant Rat to attack your face down card," as the giant rat ran up and the card flipped face up and it was Parasite Paracide.
"Hahaha!" laughed Weevil. "Now you're in for it, you activate my Parasite Paracide's ability. He is placed in your deck which I have to shuffle and when you draw the card, the fun really begins!"
Michael placed his deck on a compartment on the platform and it was sent over to Weevil and he placed the card in his deck and shuffled it and returned it back to Michael.
"But also, you left your life points wide open for my Suijin," Michael said. "Go Suijin Hydro Pressure!" Suijin unleashed a great amount of water hitting Weevil hard.
Weevil: 3600
Michael: 5500
Weevil's turn-
"Only a small price to pay for what's going to happen to you." Weevil said as he drew his card. "I play Petit Moth (300/200) in attack mode but it begins its state of evolution with the Cocoon of Evolution (0/2000) and its stats raise to 500/2500, enough to endure your Suijin and soon he will metamorphose into my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. And for the fun of it, I flip my other face down card, Insect Barrier and placing another magic or trap card, face down ending my turn.
"That can't be good," Joey said.
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card but regretted it, it was Parasite Paracide (500/300) and its other effect activated. Michael placed it in defense mode and he lost 1000 life points and the parasite's tentacles burrowed in the Giant Rat and Suijin rupturing all over the place, squiggling about.
Joey, Yugi, and Michael were all disgusted at the sight.
"Aw man I hated that card," Joey said. "I couldn't get rid of it."
"But even worse is that Weevil cheated," Yugi said. "He made sure that the next card Michael would draw would be Parasite Paracide. I'm sure that isn't the first time he's done that either."
Robert couldn't hear what they were saying over Weevil's gloating but he thought the same thing but all he had in his hand were useless magic and trap cards and low level monsters.
"Then I play Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) in defense mode," but not even stone was safe from the parasite as it burrowed into and stuck out in numerous places in the rock warrior.
Weevil's turn-
"Now another turn has passed and my little petit moth begins its metamorphosis and I'll play Pot of Greed drawing two cards and I'll play two magic or trap cards face down ending my turn.
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card and smiled, "That cocoon will never hatch Underwood, I sacrifice my..."
"Not so fast!" shouted Weevil as he flipped one of his face down cards. "I activate my trap card, Mask of Restrict," a creepy looking mask with fangs and horns appeared behind the cocoon. "That means you have to keep my Parasite on the field, too bad!"
"Dammit," said Michael. "You're just being a thorn in my side Underwood, then I'll play The Dragon Dwelling in the Cave (1300/2000) ending my turn." And in seconds, the Parasite infected the dragon.
Weevil's turn-
"I draw and I play Pinch Hopper (1200/1000) in attack mode and he becomes a 1700/1500 from the forest," said Weevil. "Just four turns until my monster becomes perfect.
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card but nothing helped him so he passed his turn.
Weevil's turn-
"Looks like the world champion's going to retire early," Weevil said smugly as he drew his card. "I play another magic or trap card face down."
Michael's turn-
Michael drew again but still, another strong monster that he needed a sacrifice for so he passed.
Weevil's turn-
Weevil drew his card and said, "Now here's something you're going to hate, I flip my two face down cards, Pyro Clock of Destiny and for each one, a whole turn passes, so two turns pass and next turn my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth will emerge, I hope you're ready for me to be the World Champion!"
Michael's turn-
Michael drew his card making him have a total of seven and not one could be used and with Insect Barrier out, he couldn't attack so he did the next best thing, "I switch all my monsters in defense mode ending my turn.
Weevil's turn-
Weevil drew his card and laughed triumphantly now emerge my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, arise from your cocoon!" And it did, it was enormous, and Yugi never saw Weevil play this card before and it had power and defense to match its size of 3500/3000.
"Because my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth was special summoned, he has to wait a turn to attack but he still gets the power bonus of 4000/3500, making him unstoppable! But my Pinch Hopper's hardly a match but I know of an equal card, I first play Eradicating Aerosol destroying my Pinch Hopper but activating his special ability, I get to summon any insect from my deck onto the field! And I choose my Insect Queen (2200/2400)!" The Insect Queen appeared and let out a roar.
"Yes roar my queen! Here comes the pain, Laskow. For every insect on the field, my queen gains 200 attack points and there are six insects on the field right now so she gains 1200 attack points making her a 3400/2400 and from the forest, she gains a field power bonus making her a 3900/2900! But instead of having two powerful monsters, I'll have one super strong monster. Insect Queen! Devour my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!" Insect Queen did and it was not a pleasant sight to behold. Yugi, Joey, and Michael looked away but when it was over, Insect Queen's attack power was 7100 since there were now 5 insects on the field.
Michael's turn-
Michael drew a card and said to himself, "Finally!" he slipped the magic card in an empty slot underneath where the monsters were played and said, "I play Giant Trunade returning Mask of Restrict, the Forest field card and Insect Barrier back to your hand. And I sacrifice Giant Rat to bring out Dark Dust Spirit! And from his effect, all monsters on the field including your powerful Insect Queen are destroyed!" It was so, Dark Dust Spirit appeared clenching his body then opened up unleashing a wave of darkness, rotting all the monsters on the field to dust leaving Weevil wide open for an attack. "Attack Dark Dust Spirit! Claws of the Dead!" The Spirit raised up his arms, slammed them the ground and an enormous claw rose from ground and grasping Weevil very tight then releasing him, and the Dark Dust Spirit vanished returning back to Michael's hand. "Plus from Giant Rat, I get to Special Summon an Earth elemental monster of 1500 or less attack, and I choose Giant Soldier of Stone in attack mode and place one magic or trap card face down in attack mode ending my turn."
Weevil: 1400
Michael: 5500
Weevil's turn-
Weevil drew his card but it didn't help him, because he stacked his deck, and at this time he'd expect to be ripping through Michael's monsters with his supped-up Insect Queen, so he thought he wouldn't need another monster to attack with, he dropped his cards on the platform on his knees, and shouted to Michael, "I beg of you! Please, spare me! If I lose the duel you don't know what could happen!"
Michael looked darkly into Weevil and smirked.
Michael's turn-
Joey and Yugi looked at Weevil and he looked like an empty shell of himself, both of them looked at him and saw pure fear and Yugi told Michael, "He has seen enough, Michael, he can't duel anymore, spare him."
Michael looked darkly over to Yugi and said, "No..."
"I sacrifice my Giant Soldier of Stone to bring out my Dark Dust Spirit again," he said over to Weevil who was now on the verge of crying out of fear. "Dark Dust Spirit, crush him once more and do away with him." The zombie spirit raised up his arms again and the giant claw rose out of the ground and began to grasp Weevil but before the pressure could be applied, the claws faded from around Weevil and were gone as was the spirit, the duel was over and Michael looked over to Weevil and said, "Got ya!"
Michael began laughing because he psyched Weevil out like that, making him almost cry as his platform dropped to the ground but Weevil's platform remained up there, still afraid. Then Weevil stood up all of a sudden grasping his head.
"No, master it was an accident!" Weevil shouted but Yugi, Joey and Michael were confused and know who he was talking to. "Master, I was going to duel Muto, but that guy tricked me into dueling him," Weevil shouted.
"Weevil's gone nuts," Joey said.
"Please master, give me another chance!" Weevil hollered.
Weevil then all of a sudden, stood up straight, and extended his arms out in a crucifix position and walked backwards right on the edge of the platform, "Please master, not this!"
"What's he doing?" Michael said.
Weevil's head turned towards Yugi and the millennium symbol appeared on his head, illuminating gold, "You may have defeated this eliminator, but he was weak there six others much stronger than this pathetic cheater," said a voice that sounded partially like Weevil's but there was another voice speaking in unison, which Yugi instantly recognized.
"Salazar! Don't do it!" shouted Yugi.
But it was too late, Weevil Underwood still with his arms extended out, had leaned back and fell off the platform for a fifteen foot drop...
NOTE: I am not exactly sure if Insect Queen or Weevil's other insects have those precise effects, but they were on the TV show, and that's where I got the idea.
And here are the new rules for Duelist Kingdom:
1. 8000 Life points
2. Monsters that require no sacrifices have to have 2000 or less
attack/defense points.
3. Monsters that require 1 sacrifice have 2001-2500 attack/defense
points.
Example: A Red-Eyes Black Dragon only needs one sacrifice to be
summoned.
4. Monsters with 2501 and above attack/defense points need 2 sacrifices.
5. Normal Field cards like Sogen, Forest, Mountain and Umi now give
+500/+500 instead of the normal 200. Other field cards such as Gaia
Power, Luminous Spark, Molten Destruction, etc now give +750/-500. Other
Field cards like Necrovalley that specifically target one type of card
have their same effects. And each duelist can play at least one field
card and if they play other, the other one is cancelled out and sent to
the graveyard.
I hope this solved a lot of confusion and please continue enjoying this fic.
