Both stared each other down, Dana stared into her fathers blue eyes while he looked back at hers.
"I'll enjoy torturing you for the rest of my life" The man licked his lips sickly. Chris stepped up, tears almost going down his cheeks.
"Dana" Chris said, she turned to look at him "Please reconsider, I dont want you to lose this match, there is too much riding on this duel, please let me take your place" Chris begged. Dana shook her head no.
"Sorry Chris, but I have to do this on my own, you have looked after me for two months, now its my turn to look after myself, I am sick and tired of being abused by my father, so please let me do this" Dana said, Chris looking into her eyes. It was as if Chris was looking into her soul and feeling the pain shes been through her entire life. Chris smiled and closed his eyes.
"Ok, I'll stay out of this, whatever you do, dont lose this match" Dana smiled "Dont lose, im rooting for you" Chris took a few steps back and decided not to interfer anymore in this family fued.
"Thank you Chris and I will win" Dana said looking back at her father. He smiled.
"Heh, you have no idea what I have instore for you" He said.
"Save it, who will go first" Dana yelled.
"I'll let the slut go first" The father smiled and Chris grew angry.
"Man, to think this is her own father" Joey said seeing Chris clench a fist, blood dripping down his hands.
"Dont listen to him Dana" Chris said as Dana drew a card and looked at it, she turned to see Chris and smiled, he nodded.
"Ok father, lets see you handle this, first I lay this face down, then I summon harpies brother in attack mode" (1800/800) A human like creature appeared on the field with black hair, with sharp claws and yellow eyes. " Thats all for now" She said watching her father draw a card.
"I'll play this in defence and end my turn" Dana smiled.
"You wont beat me if you play defence, my move" Dana drew a card and smiled "I summon cyber harpie in attack mode" (1800/1000) A female harpie appeared onthe field with purple armor covering her, situating itself next to the other harpie. It let out a small roar and dana's father looked into the eyes of the harpie's.
"Heh, it takes more then montsres to win a duel" He said as Dana smiled back.
"For once I agree with you" Dana addmited to herself. "Now harpie's brother attack his defence card" The creature flew over to the monster and slashed it in half, revealing mask of darkness (900/400) . Dana looked confused as she saw it. " Why did he put that out, he doesnt have any traps in his graveyard"
"That doesnt make sence" Joey turned to chris "He just wasted a very useful card, with it he could bring a trap card from his graveyard, but sence he didnt use any he wasted it" Chris crossed his arms.
"Maybe he didnt have anything to protect his points, so he probably didnt have a choice" Joey said as Chris nodded.
"Maybe, but still he wasted it"
"Cyber harpie attack his lifepoints directly" Dana yelled as the female creature flew over to him and slashed at him, he growled as his points went down to 6200. "I end my turn" She announced as he smiled.
"About time" he said drawing his card. " I'll play this in defence mode and end my turn" He said again. Dana opened her mouth with a confuse look again.
"If he plays defence the entire match hell lose, whats he thinking" Joey said turning to Chris.
"Its a strategy of some sort, it feels oddly familar to me" Chris said
"My move" Dana drew a card. "Now harpies brother attack his defence card" The harpie flew over and cut the card in half revealing a simple zombie card, dragon zombie (1600/0). Joey Dana and Chris gasped seeing the card get destroyed.
"Thats a noob card" Joey pointed out.
"hmmmm she sent two monsters too the graveyard and he hasnt put up a fight. Strategy feels so familar to me"
"Cyber Harpie attack him directly" Dana yelled and the female harpie flew over and slashed at him, reducing his points to 4400, putting up his arms from the flying debree. "I end my turn" Dana yelled staring at her father with eyes of determination.
"My move, foolish girl" The man drew his card and smiled "Once again I'll play defence and end my turn"
"What a joke, my move" Dana drew a card and didnt look at it. "Harpies brother attack his face down card" The creature slashed at it revealing a giant orc. (2200/0)
"He must not know how to play" Joey grinned "She's got this all wrapped up"
"Im not so sure about that joe" Chris grew serious again "It's way too easy, I dont think he would just lose on purpose"
"Cyber go straight for his lifepoints" The creature smiled and slashed at his chest, he growled watching his points drop to 2600. "I end my turn"
The man smiled as he drew his card. "Seems I made things too easy for you daughter, I'll remove those three cards from the game" He said removing the cards from his graveyard.
"What are you doing" Dana yelled at him.
"Oh shit, I knew it, hes gonna play dark necrofear" Chris said as Dana gasped.
"Now I play dark necrofear" He said slapping the card on the disk. A purple liquid appeared on the field and made its way in front of Dana's father. The liquid began to take form, revealing a blue doll like creature, it had yellow piercing eyes and stared directly at Dana. (2200/2800)
"I kinda figured it was too easy" Dana growled looking back at the creature.
"Im not too worried, Dana's points are still higher then his" Joey said, Chris took a few steps forward.
"Points arent everything" Chris replied.
"Dark necrofear attack her cyber harpie" The creatures eyes glew bright yellow and shot beams at the harpie, destroying it, leaving Dana with 7600. " I'll lay this face down and end my turn" He annouced. Dana drew her card and smiled.
"I'll equip this card to my monster, rose whip, it gives my monster an extra 500 attack points, so goodbye to your necrofear" Dana yelled watching the monster snap its whip to the ground. her father didnt look worried at all. She knew what necrofears ability was but in order to win she needs to attack. "Attack with rose whip" Dana yelled.
"No dont do it... hell gain control of your monster" Joey yelled.
"No, she should attack" Chris said as Joey turned his head to Chris. "In order to win she needs to attack right away, take him down" Chris said. The monster attacked necrofear, sending it to the graveyard and reducing her fathers points to 2500. He smiled evily.
"Foolish girl, you activated my monsters special ability, It allows me to take control of your harpie" The harpie wondered over to his side of the field and stared at Dana.
"You think i dont know that, I reveal rescue operation" Dana flipped up her trap and Dana's father gasped. "This trap lets me take back control of my harpie" The trap disappeared and the harpie was back under Dana's control. " I'll place this face down and end my turn" She yelled.
"I'll teach you a lesson you slut" He drew his card and smiled. "I activate snatch steal" He put the card on the disk and all three gasped.
"Dammit, that lets him take control of Dana's monster" Chris clenched his fist.
"that's right, so come to me harpies brother" The monster went back to his field and smiled "You got nothing defending you, daughter" He taunted as Dana grew angry. "I summon la jinn in attack mode" (1800/1000) A green genie appeared on the field and crossed its arms. "Now attack her points directly" The harpie used its whip and struck Dana, while la jinn shot a blast of energy from its mouth, Dana screamed in pain and started to pant, points down to 3500.
"Dana, you ok" Chris yelled almost stepping in.
"Yeah im fine, my move" Dana said drawing a card. "I'll place this in defence mode and end my turn" Dana's points rose to 4500, due to snatch steals other effect.
"My move" He drew his card. "La jinn attack her face down monster" He pointed, the monster spat out a black stream of energy and destroyed Dana's monster. "Now go for her lifepoints" The harpie slashed at her, reducing her points to 2200. " I end my turn" He announced.
Dana drew a card and growled. "I summon a monster in defence mode and end my turn" Dana said as her points rose to 3200.
"Seems like you got nothing left to fight with, so allow me to end this duel now" The man smiled as Dana gasped.
"No...we cant let this guy win" Joey growled.
"Now la jinn attack" The genie spat out black energy and destroyed Dana's card. "Now attack her life points directly" The harpie flew over to her and slashed at her, reducing her points to 900, Dana went crashing to her knee's.
"Oh no Dana" Chris's millenuim puzzle grew bright and looked at Dana's motionless form, the symbol once again appeared on Chris's head and ran over to her before she collasped. The father smiled sickly.
"The girl is too weak, that probably knocked her out" The man said, Chris still staring at her, shaking her a bit to wake her up.
"Dana, come on wake up, if you dont wake up you will lose" Her eyes started to slowly open, and she breathed heavily. "That's it"
"Seems like the slut still has some fight left in her, I end my turn" Dana's points rose to 1900. "This is your last turn, so hurry up and draw. After I win this I know exactly what ill have you do first"
"Your sick" Chris yelled as the man still smiled.
"Lets end this, go foolish girl" Dana began to stand up and looked at her cards. It seemed hopeless to her, she knew she needed to draw something good or else it would be over for her. Her life would end and she would act like a slave to her father.
"You realize your about to lose this duel, dont you" A voice in her mind said. It was her, the girl from the visions she has earlier. "Let me take control so we can win" Dana was struggling inside her mind to contain the girl, making sure she doesnt get control of her.
"No I can win this without your help" Dana thought in her mind, talking to the girl.
"Dont be follish, if you dont let me take control you will lose and be a slave to your father, I personaly dont want that to happen to you" The girl voice seemed almost harsh but kind at the same time. Like a spirit keeping watch over her. Dana thought about letting the spirit take control, but the thought of Chris entered her mind.
"Would he still love me" She thought to herself.
"Who cares about him, all that matters is winning this, now let me out" The voice yelled.
"No, the reason im in this is because of Chris, im not gonna throw away what we have together because...I LOVE HIM" Dana said letting tears flow through her. The voice growled and got pushed back into Dana's mind.
"This duel is not over, watch me win" Dana drew a card, looked at it and smiled. "Now i play the magic card dark hole, it destroys all monster on the field" A black vortex appeared on the field and sucked in the monsters on her fathers side of the field. The vortex grew smaller and took his monsters with it. "You got nothing defending yourself, father" Dana smiled. "I summon cyber harpie to the field" Another harpie appeared on the field. "Attack his life points directly" The creature flew over to him and slashed at him, reducing his points to 700. He growled and clencheed his fist.
"This isnt over yet" He drew a card and looked at it. " I reveal my face down card, raigeki break"
"Oh no" Chris thought to himself.
"By discarding one card from my hand, I can destroy any card on your side of the field, so say goodbye to your harpie" A hand appeared on the field and pointed at the harpie with its index finger. Lightning shot out and the harpie vanished, along with the hand. "Now i summon gearfried the iron knight (1800/1600) A black knight in black armor appeared with a blade attached to its right arm and had red eyes. "Attack my daughter directly would you" The monster ran over to her and slashed her with its blade, she growled as her points dropped to 100. "I'll end my turn" Dana drew her card.
"I must say its pretty hopeless for you, you only have 100 points left which means I'll win this in my next turn. Why not surrender now and save yourself from getting attacked again" He taunted.
"No never give up" Chris yelled from the sidelines. Everyone turned to look at him. "You can still win this duel, im not saying its gonna be easy but you can find a way to end this match. Belive in your self and you can win, dont forget what will happen if you lose but if you win, you will be free from your fathers grip forever. If you just give up all that is gone, your life, your future, your dreams, everything. I dont want to see that happen to you and I know you dont wanna see it either. So draw your card and win this match" Chris's voice had insipered Dana to win.
"Thanks Chris, I wont give up, if I do I'll be giving up on myself" Dana looked at the card and gasped.
"Disappointed in your draw" The father smiled.
"No, im actually quite pleased, cause now I activate monster reborn, to bring back cyber harpie" The harpie reappeared on the field. " Next I'll sacrifice it to summon summoned skull" The cyber harpie exploaded and a fiend monster took its place. It was purple with a wings on its back, it let out a cat like hiss and electricity went throught its body. Chris smiled.
"Looks like she won" Chris said.
"Sorry father, but this is the last time you will get too see me ever again, summoned skull, lightning strike" the skull shot lightning at gearfried and it slowly disovled, reducing his points to zero. The fathers jaw dropped watching his points slowly dropping to zero.
"No" He Grumbled to himself. " How could iI lose" dana went back to her knee's and began to breath again heavily, Chris was at her side.
"You did it Dana, your free from your fathers grip. You can now live your life as you want" Chris kissed her gently on her lips and pulled away from her to see her bright smile.
"I did it, didnt I" Chris nodded " It's all thanks to you Chris" She said, Chris helped her stand up.
"But I didnt do anything, you beat him by yourself" Chris held her hand.
He smiled at her and she smiled back. "Thats not true, you told me to never give up no matter how hard it got out there, if it wasn't for you I would have given up that turn, but you told me what would have happened if I lost. My life would be over, and I didnt want that so I kept fighting and won, so thank you" she said closing her eyes.
"Yes, you did win, he wont ever bother you again" Chris looked over to Dana's dad. "You lost, so beat it"
He stood there silent for a few moments and smiled " No" he whispered. "I dont have to listen to a bunch of kids" He took out the dagger and charged for Chris.
Chris looked into Dana's eyes in a way to say sorry for doing this, but it must be done. "Sorry Dana, but this guy will not give up" Chris said looking down to her. She smiled.
Chris held his hand up in front of him and black magic errupted from his hand, sending them flying at Dana's father. He froze as the magic hit him, he screamed in agony and dissappeared from sight, the black magic going back into Chris and vanished, along with the millenuim symbol, Chris went back to normal.
The two henchmen looked on in fear "Lets get outta here, this guys not human" The two took off. Joey smiled and walked over to Chris.
"There gone Chris, they wont bother us any more" Joey said.
"Good, Dana you ok" Chris asked staring at her.
"Yeah im fine, now that he's gone " She held up her hands and looked at them, she felt something being relived from her body. " My pain, its gone" She thought to herself "He really is gone"
"Well, you guys wanna go home, or hang out for a while" Chris asked.
"Lets stay for awhile, duel some people" Joey said walking over to a little kid and challenging him to a duel.
"Ok, well stay here for a few hours" Chris said. He looked over to Dana who was smiling at herself, her dad was finally gone and now she could forget all about him. Only thing to do now is focus on the servants coming here in a week, and getting Kaiba to help them, which Chris knew would not be easy.
