Chapter 4: Friendly Foes, Part 1
"Now! I summon Cure Mermaid (1500/800) in attack mode and play this one card face down." Harpie Lady announced.
"Then it's my turn! And I summon Amazoness Swords Woman (1500/1600) and that'll end my turn." She stated as Harpie Lady drew.
"First of all, I'll activate my Cure Mermaid's special effect, increasing my life points by 800!" (HL's LP: 4800)
"But then, I sacrifice Cure Mermaid to summon Magical Marionette (2000/1000) and attack Amazoness Swords Woman!" Harpie Lady declared, as the marionette unleashed strings wrapping around Amazoness Swords Woman, then the strings were pulled tightly, shattering her. (HL's LP: 4300)
"I draw." Mai stated. (Perfect.) "I summon Vampire Orchis (1700/1000) in attack mode, which automatically allows me to summon Des Dendle (300/2000)! "Now, I activate the magic card, Curse Ring, which will weaken your monster by 700 points!"
"Now, I attach Des Dendle to Vampire Orchis! Vampire Orchis, attack Magical Marionette!" Mai commanded as the orchis unleashed a green windblast, blowing the marionette back and ultimately destroying it. (HL's LP: 3900)
The Harpie Lady drew. (YES!) She thought. "I activate the field magic card, Necrovalley!" she announced as the plateau morphed into a valley.
"Now I summon, Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier (1500/1000+500) and thanks to it being on the field as Necrovalley, it gains 500 attack and defense points! Now attack her weak Vampire Orchis!" she commanded as the soldier went to chop up the flower, but Des Dendle took the hit. (M's LP: 2300)
"Okay, this is not going my way." She thought, drawing her next card. "I play the trap card, Trap Dustshoot! This card allows me to look at your hand and place one monster card back into your deck!" she explained as Harpie Lady's hand appeared on the duel disk.
"Well, seeing as you only have one monster, it will go back into your deck." Mai stated as Harpie Lady shuffled the card into her deck.
"Perfect. I can sacrifice two monsters next turn to summon this card!" Mai thought.
"And won't this look familiar!" she yelled. "I play Harpie Lady (1300/1400) in defense mode, and switch Vampire Orchis to defense mode and end my turn!"
"Well then, I play the magic card, Royal Tribute, which forces us to discard all monster cards in our hands!" she declared as Mai growled, but reluctantly slid two cards into the graveyard.
"And now I sacrifice Gravekeeper Spear Soldier to summon Gravekeeper Chief (1900/1200) and now I can revive my Gravekeeper Spear Soldier!" She announced as her monster reappeared on the field.
"But you can't! Necrovalley puts your graveyard off-limits!" Mai yelled.
"On the contrary! But, my Gravekeeper Chief makes Necrovalley's effect immune to me as long as it remains face-up!" Harpie Lady retorted, making Mai sink inside.
"And now, Gravekeeper Chief, attack Vampire Orchis!" she commanded, in which the chief umm....destroyed Vampire Orchis (I can't think of an attack, God people, get off my case.)
"And now, Gravekeeper Spear Soldier destroy Harpie Lady!" The soldier went directly through the winged female, slicing her in two.
"Next turn that'll be you!" she snickered as Mai drew.
"Perfect!" she thought. "I activate the magic card, Dark Hole! This will instantly suck up every monster on the field!" she explained as the black vortex appeared in the middle of the playing field and both of Harpie Lady's monsters were absorbed.
"And now I summon the Crass Clown (1350/1400) in attack mode! Crass Clown attack her life points now!" Mai commanded. The clown responded by deadly knives at her, piercing her badly. (HL's LP: 2550)
"And I'll finish my move by playing this one card face down." Mai stated, as the hologram appeared.
Harpie Lady drew. "Time to get her into a jam! First, I'll summon Petit Dragon (600/700) in attack mode!" she yelled as her tiny dragon appeared in front of her, snarling at Mai.
(Please sister! That little weak thing, you must be one of those types who never surrender. What a shame, but just some of us are born for greatness.) Mai thought, smiling at the last part.
(That's right foolish girl! Believe you'll easily win this, get happy and cheerful for it will be that much more fun to take everything away from you, permanently!) Harpie Lady thought, eyeing cards of use in her hand.
"I play a risky magic card, Final Option! This magic card forces me to use all the cards in my hand this turn, but in return, I receive the amount of life points you took away from me!" she explained.
"But on the downside, if I can't, I lose 2000 life points, placing the victory surely in your hands." She continued. (But let's just see if I can't!) Harpie Lady thought, snickering.
"I play Yield Tribute next, to special summon my Hinotama Soul (600/500) in attack mode as well! And now prepare for a card that will demolish all of your hopes! Go, Polymerization!" she yelled as both monsters were absorbed into the card, and came out a golden dragon with tall electric horns, and giant wings.
"Meet Dragonite (2700/2100), one of the more powerful creatures in my deck, but fused from 2 lower class monsters! Your lucky I can't blow away your pathetic clown. No matter. Make your move!" she demanded. (HL's LP: 3900)
"Anxious to lose that quickly?" Mai retorted, Harpie Lady smiled. Mai drew.
"I sacrifice Crass Clown to summon Beast of Talwar (2400/2150)! Now I'll play this one card face down, and activate Mage Power! This magic card will increase my monster's strength to 3400!" she explained as the beast was surrounded in a purple aura and got into battle mode. (Anyone else get that?..)
"Now Beast of Talwar! Attack her weak dragon!" Mai commanded as the warrior dove at the dragon, and with a 3-slice combo attacked.
"Wrong! Reveal trap card, Light and Dark Combo Attack!" she yelled as her card flipped up. An angel and a devil appeared on the field. The angel launched a white ball of energy at the Beast of Talwar.
"You see, my trap card will first cut your monster's attack points in half!" she explained as the Beast's points lowered to 1700.
"And for more fun, my monster will launch an attack with the same amount of strength right back at your monster!" The devil launched a wide black ball of energy at the Beast, dissolving it instantly. (M's LP: 600)
(Great. One more of those and I'm done for sure. And with two face down cards I'm sure one of those will be ready to wipe me out.) Mai thought.
"Come on, make your move already! Not like anything you do will help you, I have over 6 times the amount of life points you have and I've got a monster with 2700 attack points! We'll blow you away next turn!" Harpie Lady laughed and put on a devilish grin.
Mai put on a stern look. (As much as I hate to admit it, she's right. There's no way I can summon a monster with 2700 attack points! I'm a goner!) Mai thought. (There's no way I can win!)
