u-g-o isn't mine.
"So how many chips do you have, Mai?" asked Joey. She held up four fingers. Latulla whistled.
"Already?" Mai laughed.
"She's a really good duelist," said Joey. "I guess I should have guessed." He sighed. Then, someone laughed behind them. All three of them whirled.
There was a boy standing behind them. He had blue hair and green clothes. His shirt had a bug on it and the bridge of his round glasses had been made to look like a beetle.
"Weevil Underwood?" said Joey.
"I'm here to pay you back for my defeat in Battle City," Weevil said. Joey groaned.
"But I just dueled."
"SO WHAT?" Weevil shouted.
"So why don't I duel for you?" asked Latulla. She was suddenly the center of attention. She gave Weevil a hard look. "It's pathetic to see someone who's self esteem is so low that he plays with bugs," she mused. He growled. "Oh, frightening." She activated her duel disk. "I'll squash you."
"Wrong," Weevil replied. He activated his duel disk. "You're bug bait." (W: 8000) (L: 8000) "I'll start. I summon one monster in defense mode. Then I activate Insect Barrier!"
"Uh-oh," said Joey.
"What is that?" asked Latulla.
"It's a card he used on me. It stops all insects from attacking him." Latulla blinked.
"I don't have any insects in my deck."
"Just go," snarled Weevil.
"Fine. I summon Rogue Doll in attack mode!" (1600/1000) "Rogue Doll, attack his facedown monster!" Rogue Doll lifted its staff over its head, and an orb of light shot from its tip. The face down card exploded, and a swarm of insects engulfed Rogue Doll. Mai and Joey leapt back in surprise.
"What was that?" shouted Mai. Weevil cackled.
"That was Swarm of Scarabs. When it's destroyed, it destroys the monster that destroyed it." He grinned. Latulla glared at him.
"I place one card facedown. That ends my turn." Weevil's grin broadened.
"I'll summon another monster facedown, and I'll place a card facedown."
"My move," said Latulla. "I summon Maha Vailo in attack mode!" (1550/1400) "ATTACK!" This time, the face down monster was a caterpillar. Weevil laughed out loud.
"You just destroyed Parasite Cattarpillar!"
"And what does that do?" asked Joey.
"It forces her monster into a cocoon! In five turns, the cocoon will break open and she'll have Poison Butterfly on her side of the field. It's a strong monster, but it costs her 500 life points at the end of each of her turns." Latulla recoiled. "Plus, it's an insect, so it can't get through my Insect Barrier." Then he started to giggle. All thought emptied from Latulla's mind, except this one: I really need to crush this guy. He's getting on my nerves.
"My turn. I summon Skull Mark Ladybug in attack mode!" (500/1500)
"NYEHH!" shouted Joey.
"Skull mark? That's not good," said Mai.
"My thoughts exactly," replied Latulla. Weevil grinned.
"Don't worry, Skull Mark Ladybug's effect only applies to me. Now you can worry, because I'm activating Insect Imitation!"
"And that does something?" asked Joey. Mai knocked him on the head.
"OF COURSE, WHEELER!" Weevil shouted. "It lets me sacrifice a monster on the field to summon an insect from my deck. So I sacrifice Skull Mark Lady Bug, so that I can summon Insect Princess!" (1900/1200) "And since it was sent to the graveyard, Skull Mark Ladybug's effect activates, increasing my life point count by 1000!" He laughed again. (W: 9000)
"My move. I summon Hysteric Fairy in attack mode!" shouted Latulla. (1800/500) "And now I'll activate its special effect. I can gain 500 life points by sacrificing a monster." She grinned. "Such as this obnoxious cocoon."
"NO!" Weevil shrieked. His grin evaporated.
"Yes." The cocoon vaporized. (L: 8500) Weevil snarled in his frustration.
"Fine! You just triggered my trap! DNA SURGERY!" Latulla yawned very obviously. "CUT THAT OUT! You won't be yawning for long! DNA Surgery lets me turn every monster on the field into a bug." Latulla's eyes bugged out.
"WHAT?"
"And, since your monsters are on the field, they're bugs too. WHICH MEANS THEY CAN'T ATTACK ME!" He laughed. "I believe it's my turn."
"I knew it," said Joey. "With me he used Parasect Paraside, but it's the same effect."
"If it was me dueling, I could whip out Harpie's Feather Duster and blow that trap away," said Mai. "But I think she can do this." Then, Mai's face lit up. "After all, didn't you say that she has an Egyptian God Card?" Joey's face lit up and he sniggered.
"INSECT PRINCESS! ATTACK HER HYSTERIC FAIRY!" (L: 8400) "This activates Insect Princess' special effect. Whenever it destroys a bug, it gets an extra 500 attack points!" (2400/1200)
Latulla drew. It was Slifer the Sky Dragon.
Now will you use me? It seemed to ask. She grinned.
"Sure," she murmured. I'll have to play my cards just right. Otherwise, it won't have any effect. "I summon one monster in defense mode. Next, I play two cards face down and end my turn."
"That's all?" sang Weevil. "INSECT PRINCESS! ATTACK HER FACEDOWN MONSTER!" The facedown monster was a squirrel. "WHAT IS THAT?"
"Nimble Momonga! When it's destroyed, two things happen. I gain 1000 life points and I get to summon two more from my deck." (L: 9400)
"But since it was an insect, Insect Princess gets 500 attack points!" (2900/1200)
"My move. I'll place one last card facedown. Now, I activate the magic card Monster Reborn! This brings back my Nimble Momonga which you destroyed." She took a deep breath. Here goes nothing. "Now I sacrifice my three monsters to summon SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON!" The tiny picture on the card couldn't have possibly prepared her for the size of the dragon. Mai and Joey, several feet back, leapt out of the way as a giant red tail lashed into being. Slifer roared. (1000/1000)
"NO! Latulla, Slifer's attack and defense are based on the number of cards in your hand and you only have one!" shouted Mai. Weevil cackled.
"Nice try. My move!"
"Not just yet," said Latulla. "I activate Card of Sanctity!"
"Uh-oh," said Weevil, a worried look appearing on his face.
"This means we each draw cards until we have six in our hands." Slifer roared again. (6000/6000) "Now I activate my facedown Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two more cards." (8000/8000) "Now I activate my two remaining facedown cards, which are both the same card: Jar of Greed! Each of them allows me to draw one card, so together they allow me to draw two cards!" (10000/10000) "I think you know what happens now. SLIFER, ATTACK!" Weevils face lit up.
"But Slifer is a bug, and-"
"Nice try, Weevil Underpants," said Joey. "But the God Cards can't be affected by traps, so Slifer's not a bug." Insect Princess was obliterated. (W: 1900) Weevil shrieked in pain.
"UNCLE!" he shouted. Latulla looked up in amazement. Weevil's hand was facedown on his deck.
"He gave up?" said Joey incredulously. (W: 0)
