The flying man attacked the card which promptly turned into a flying
squirrel and exploded.
"Thanks again Mai, that was my Nimble Momonga, by destroying it I gain 1000 Life points and I get to summon up to two more of the cute little rodents to the field in Face Down Defense mode." Sammantha again removed her deck and set two face down Monster cards.
Mai was visibly shaken, Sammantha hadn't even attacked and Mai was STILL five hundred Life points lower than she was.
"Looks like you've improved Sammy. So have I though." Mai set another magic or trap card and ended her turn with one card in her hand.
"We'll see if it's enough. I'll draw and the set one card." Sammantha set a magic or trap card. "Then I'll activate the two cards I set before, The Eye of Truth and Ominous Fortune telling. Let's see just how good you've gotten Mai, because I'm a whole new league than the last time."
Mai: 4500
Sammantha: 5000
"My turn is over Mai, get ready to feel the burn." Sammantha finished, staring daggers at Mai.
"Fine then, I'll draw and..." Mai was interrupted by Sammantha.
"Not so fast there pal o' mine. In response to you drawing I'll activate this trap card, Bad Reaction to Simochi, and thanks to my other two cards I get to see your hand." Sammantha had a very smug look on her face now.
"WHAT?! Okay, fine." Mai walked over and showed Sammantha her two cards, a Harpie lady and Elegant Egotist.
Upon returning to her side of the field Mai spoke up, "Can I go now?" She was looking slightly perturbed.
"Not quite yet, you've got a magic card in your hand, thanks to Eye of truth normally you'd gain 1000 life points, but with Bad Reaction out you lose 1000 instead. Also, with ominous fortune telling I get to guess a card type in your hand, and I'll guess the card on the right in your hand is a magic card, you lose another 700 life points." Sammantha was very happy and it showed. Staying up all night working on her deck had really boosted the speed and power of it.
Mai: 2800
Sammantha: 5000
"You're doing well Sammy, but You won't win. I won't let my streak of beating you in EVERYTHING end." Mai called as she summoned her Harpy lady and set her magic card.
"Now, my Harpies will attack your two face down Rats. Which will sadly net you another 2000 life points. Now my Turn is over." Mai waved at Sammantha and stared at her.
Mai: 2800
Sammantha: 7000
"No Problem Mai, I draw." it was Mai's turn to interrupt.
"Not so fast, I hope that card wasn't useful because thanks to this Drop off trap card I set in my second turn, you wont' be keeping it."
"Damn! My rain of Mercy." Sammantha discarded her drawn card with a sour look on her face.
"Guess I'm done then." Sammantha finished.
Mai drew her card.
"Yes, you are." Mai said smiling.
"Not before I inflict another bit of direct damage to you, I get to see you hand again." Sammantha called and Mai held up the card, The card was to far away to see exactly what it was but she could at least tell it was a type of effect monster.
"I'll guess it's a monster, dealing you another 700 points of damage." Sammantha smiled as Mai's Life point count dropped again.
Mai: 2100
Sammantha: 7000
"Now that that's over, I summon, Harpies Pet Dragon by sacrificing one Harpie Lady and my Harpie's Brother." Mai set the card into her Duel Disk and the massive Maroon creature appeared on the field with a roar.
"But I'm not done, Now I activate my magic card Elegant Egotist which allows me to special summon one Harpie Lady Sisters card from my deck to the field." Mai set yet another card after a brief search through her deck and a group of three Harpie Ladies appeared in one of Mai's Monster zones.
Mai now had three monsters on the field to Sammantha's two face down Giant Germs.
"Just so you know, Harpies Pet Dragon get's a power boost of 300 for every Harpie Lady on the field, bringing my beautiful pet to 2300 attack. Just so you can appreciate the power I'll take a little damage to give you a lot more." Mai was getting her momentum back.
"Harpie Lady and Harpie lady Sisters, Attack her face down Monsters!" Mai had barely finished issuing the command when the group of winged women launched at the two face down creatures, only to activate the same effect that mai's Harpies Brother had activated earlier.
Mai: 1100
Sammantha: 7000
"Now My Hapies Pet dragon will put the bite on you for hurting it's masters!" Mai pointed at Sammantha and the huge beast launched a sphere of flames at her dropping her Life points by 2300 in an instant.
Mai: 1100
Sammantha: 4700
"And it looks like my turn is over Sammy." Mai began casually examining her nails.
Sammantha drew her card and smirked.
"Nice move Mai, But this card will give me all the time I need to re-group. I activate, The Swords of Revealing Light!" Sammantha set the magic card into it's slot and a multitude of luminous swords appeared in front of all of Mai's monsters, blocking them off from the rest of the field.
Wryly, Mai commented, "Does everyone but me have that card?".
Meanwhile, on the Side lines...
"Whoa! I can't believe this no name is doing so much damage and she' hasn't even launched an attack." Joey commented, stunned.
Robert's gaze instantly shot over to Joey.
"What do you mean, 'No Name'?" Robert had stepped up to Joey now and was only a few inches away from him.
"Well, I've never heard of her and I'm second in the world." Joey shot back at Robert then added, "And Mai is also in the top ten, meanwhile your little girlfriend is only in the top twenty." Joey had a smug look on his face.
"The only reason you're still in the top ten is because they counted draws as loses in the World Tournament." Robert replied crossing his arms over his chest, which was a little difficult with his Duel Disk on his left arm.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Joey was beginning to lose patience.
"Rather than lose alone I eliminated both myself and Sammantha from the World Tournament with this." Robert pulled a few cards off the top of his deck and found the one he wanted.
"The Ring of Destruction used on one one of my pumped up monsters wiped us both out of the Tournament and put us both in the Top Twenty." Robert held the card up for Joey to examine.
"It's also how Sammantha and I met." Robert finished, shuffling the cards back into his dueling deck and replacing it in his Duel Disk.
"That don't mean nothing." Joey shot back and turned to the duel, "Mai's gonna toast your sweetie." He finished.
"We'll see Joey, We'll see." Robert smirked and turned his attention back to the Duel as well.
"Your swords may protect you for now, but they're gone as soon as I draw the right card." Mai drew for her turn. She paused and remembered Sammantha's trap cards she held the card up to show it was a monster.
"I'll guess you've got a monster card there Mai, that's 700 Life points." Sammantha announced.
Mai: 400
Sammantha: 4700
"I'll pass this turn, now take your turn and make it snappy." Mai said as she ended her turn, the count down timer floating above the Life point screens dropping to 2.
Sammantha drew her card and smiled. "No problem Mai, I'll set this magic or trap card and end my Turn." Sammantha slide the card into the M/T slot on her Disk and ended her turn.
"Fine, I'll draw my card for this turn and..." Mai trailed off it had just occurred to her no matter what card she drew Sammantha would win. It was as good as over.
"Judging by the look on your face you've come to the realization that You can't win. Once you draw, no matter the card, you'll lose what's left of your Life Points." Sammantha's eyes were almost glowing as she stared down Mai.
"You're right, But this wasn't an official match so luckily I'm not eliminated. I hope you enjoy your victory while you can. It will NOT happen again." Mai shut down her Duel Disk and returned her discarded cards to her deck.
"You've gotten a lot better Sammantha, congratulations little sister, I'll see you on the Island." Mai turned and walked away.
Joey, Tristan, Yugi and, Robert all stared at Sammantha, mouths agape and eyes wide, shocked by Mai's departing words.
"What?" Sammantha asked and stared back at them.
"Thanks again Mai, that was my Nimble Momonga, by destroying it I gain 1000 Life points and I get to summon up to two more of the cute little rodents to the field in Face Down Defense mode." Sammantha again removed her deck and set two face down Monster cards.
