"I know just how to get back on my feet. Now, Phantom Realm trap card, revive her World Healing!" he commanded as the ghastly fog shot out the card, which in turn, sent a wave of sparkling rain on Union Rider. (UR's LP: 4000)
"And now it's removed from play, so this will be the final round of this duel, and my revenge!" Union Rider yelled as Tea drew.
"Save it! I play one card face down and now I'll sacrifice my Beautiful Headhuntress to summon Black Magician Girl (2000/1700) in defense mode!" Tea declared as the monster shattered and a magician dressed in blue and pink smiled and winked, twirled around for a second and took her proper place.
"Now, I'll place one card face down and end my turn." Tea added and sighed.
"I'll draw." Union Rider announced. "And now Dark Blade, attack and destroy her pathetic magical fairy!" he commanded as the demon chopped the magician vertically down the middle.
"And I reveal my face down magic card, Revenge Sacrifice! I will destroy your Dark Blade and equipped monsters!" Tea began. "And I can freely summon a monster from my hand, so I'll take the opportunity to summon Mikazukinoyaiba (2200/2350) in attack mode." She finished as a dragon warrior appeared on the field, carrying a crescent shaped sword.
"And now my monster, attack his life points directly!" she commanded as the warrior sent a rushing air wave at Union Rider with its sword blowing him back a bit. (UR's LP: 1800)
"Heh! And Tea strikes back! Oh yeah!" She cheered.
"Don't celebrate for long! For now I play the magic card, Last Tactic, which allows me to summon any monsters from my hand with less than 500 attack points, so I'll summon Aitsu (100/100) and Koitsu (200/100)! And don't be fooled by their power, now I will show you my strongest union monster! Koitsu, attach to Aitsu!" Union Rider commanded as both monsters came together, to reveal a water and fire fairy.
"And this comes for a very handy plot twist. For you see, when together, my Aitsu gains 3000 attack points, placing it at 3100. Now Aitsu, attack Mikazukinoyaiba!" he yelled, pointing at the target. The monsters unleashed streams of fire and water, blowing away the warrior. (T's LP: 2550)
(This just keeps getting worse. 3100 attack points! No monster in my deck can beat that!) She thought, and heavily sighed.
(Wait Tea!) A voice told her, whose voice she almost instantly recognized as Yugi's. (Tea, don't forget. For his monster only has high attack points if they can stay together, you have to find a way to get and keep them separated.) Yugi told the girl, who closed her eyes and drew.
(Wow!) "Get ready because now I play the magic card Separation Spell!" Tea yelled as a strong golden globe of energy hurled itself at Aitsu, which upon being hit separated from Koitsu.
"What have you done?!" Union Rider growled.
"I found a way around your "unbeatable" union monsters. They can only be strong if they unite! So, my separation spell does just what its name says, it keeps all monsters separate. I've just destroyed the heart of your deck!" Tea declared. "And now to rid the field of your monster, go Fairy's Gift (1400/1000), and attack his Aitsu!" she commanded as the fairy waved her wand sprinkling pixie dust which vaporized the flaming fairy. (UR's LP: 500)
"I WILL NOT LOSE THIS DUEL!" He instantly remarked and drew. (Hmm) he thought. "Not all of my monsters may be union types, I've also got these. Go, Skilled White Magician (1700/1900)! And next I'll activate the trap known as Pitch-Black Power Stone!" he announced as a giant black gem with three black flames appeared on the field. "And, once per turn, I can transfer one of these flames to my Skilled White Magician." Union Rider explained as one flame disappeared and soon reappeared above the magician's head.
"And now I activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards, and by activating a magic card, my Skilled White Magician will gain a magic counter." Union Rider stated as a second flame, but white, appeared over the magician's head.
"Finally, Skilled White Magician attack Fairy's Gift now!" he commanded as the magician shot a white blast at the fairy, disintegrating her instantly. (T's LP: 2250)
"And I'll place three cards face down to end my move." He said, baiting Tea.
(Three cards. One of them has got to be a trap.) she thought, drawing. (Great, no cards in my hand can stop traps, and I can't let him keep that mage on the field. I've just got to hope for the best.) "I summon Throwstone Unit (900/2000) in attack mode! Next, I'll activate Shield and Sword, which will switch all of our monsters' attack and defense points!" Tea said as the card worked it's magic. (A/N: give me a break) (Throwstone Unit: 2000/900, Skilled White Magician (1900/1700)
"And now Throwstone Unit!" Tea began and hesitated to finish. "Attack his monster!" The monster dove at the magician.
"Just your luck! Activate Spiritualistic Medium!" Union Rider announced. "My magic card allows me to discard cards from my hand to increase my monster's attack points. So, I'll discard one card to increase my monster's points by 500 points! Now, Skilled White Magician (2400/1700) attack and wipe out her soldier!" he commanded and right before the sword hit the magician flung his sword away and shot the white blast, vaporizing the monster.
"Now your last defense is gone! And since I activated a magic card, my magician gains another magic counter! End your turn so I can win this duel!" Union Rider commanded as a second white flame appeared above the magician.
"Fine, I'll play my last magic or trap card face down and end my move." Tea said.
"About time. Look Tea, you've been a good sport but you just couldn't keep up with the rest of us. Now, Skilled White Magician (1700/2400) attack her life points directly!" Union Rider commanded as the magician unleashed another white blast, hitting Tea hard in the stomach. (T's LP: 550)
(Note to self: That hurt.) Tea thought getting to her feet. She drew quickly. "Alright!" she started with new determination, "I will summon Great Angus (1800/1600) in attack mode and have him attack your monster!" Tea declared while the angus shot a flaming star at the magician.
"One last trick Tea! Reverse trap card, Miracle Restoring, which allows me to sacrifice my magic counters and my magician" Union Rider began as the two white flames disappeared. "to summon a Buster Blader or Black Magician from my graveyard!" he explained as his graveyard slot shot out a card.
"But wait! You didn't play a Buster Blader or Black Magician!" Tea retorted.
"On the contrary. But don't you remember when I sacrificed a monster for Spiritualistic Medium? Well, say hello to that monster!" he responded as he slapped a card down on the monster card plate. "I reveal Black Magician (2500/2100)!" he declared as the tall mage in red revive itself in a white coffin.
"Now for my second trap card, Magnetic Pulse Wave, which will force your monster to attack my strongest monster on the field, namely Black Magician. So Black Magician, counter attack and win me this duel!" Union Rider declared as the mage fired a stream of black magic at the flaming beast ready to strike it down.
"Hold on! You've activated my trap card!" Tea said as if it were the best move in the world. "Mask of Weakness!" A pink mask flew onto the Black Magician's stomach, weakening it painfully. "Your monster loses an ironic 700 attack points, so both cards will be destroyed!" she yelled as the black magic wiped out Great Angus and the flaming star disentigrated Black Magician.
"NO!" he yelled and unfortunately ended his turn.
"This is it!" Tea declared. "Go, Blue Winged Crown (1600/1200) and burn through the rest of his life points!" she commanded and the winged monster shot an array of white flames burning through and melting Union Rider. (UR's LP: 0)
"And that takes care of you!" Tea announced as the Platinum Disks shut themselves off. The elevator instantly opened and Tea ran inside it. It lowered at a reasonable pace, and when she reached the bottom there was an elegant sports car waiting for her.
(Anything beats walking) she thought and hoped in, turned it on (the keys were in the ignition) and started to drive but the car sped off before Tea even got her hands on the steering wheel. (Great another trap.) she thought and let the car speed off wherever it was headed.
