"I bet you think you're gonna psych me out. Well you're not!" Ken declared
as he drew his card.
"I sacrifice my Giant Orc for Summoned Skull!" Ken announced.
"Then I'll activate my trap cards, Gravity Bind and Bad Reaction to Simochi." Samamntha said as she pressed hte activation buttons on her bright red Duel Disk, bringing the two cards into a vertical position.
Ken's Summoned Skull hunched down as the gravitational forces of Sammathas trap card affected it.
"Wha? Damn! My turn's over" Ken spat.
"Yeah, I kind of figured that much." Sammantha commented as she drew her card.
"Well, my hand won't help right now but my last three face down cards will. I activate all three of my face down Rain of Mercy magic cards." Sammantha stated as a light mist began to drizzle onto the field.
"Thanks." Ken laughed.
"For what?" Sammantha replied as Kens Life Points dropped by three thousand.
"WHAT!? But Rain of mercy INCREASES both players Life Points by one thousand, Why did I lose Life Points?" Ken whined.
"All thanks to my Bad Reaction card Kenny boy, It turns any life point gain you receive into Life point loss." Sammantha explained.
Sammantha: 11,000
Ken: 5000
"And my turn's over." Sammantha said as Ken tore his next card from his Duel Disk.
'I underestimated her. I know that now, But I can't let her beat me. I gotta win this Tournament.' Ken thought as he looked over his hand, A few monsters and a magic card.
Ken Smirked and played the card he'd just drawn.
"I play Giant Trunade! Returning all magic and trap cards ont he field to the owners hand." He shouted proudly.
Sammanthas Gravity Bind lifted and Ken's Summoned Skull stretched out it's arms, casting a soulless glare towards Samamntha it pointed one of it's massive clawed hands at her.
"Now I'll summon Goblin Attack Force. Goblins, Attack her monster! Skull follow up with a direct attack!" Ken commanded his assembled monsters.
The Goblins slammed into the face down card which flipped to reveal a pudgy gray and white ball of fluff chewing on some long green leaves.
"AWW! how cute, she's playing a Teddy Bear deck!" Ken began laughing again, missing the small cute animal take on a ferocious look as it faded away.
Ken's laughter faded away as well as his life points dropped yet again.
Sammantha: 11,000
Ken: 3800
"What?" Ken's expression was priceless. Ryu, Kelly and, Robert were laughing almost hard enough to hurt themselves.
"Oh, That was my Des Koala. Yeah, they don't appreciate being flipped face up." Sammantha commented calmly.
"Yeah well I've still got enough Life Points to take you out and my Skull's going to attack you directly now." Ken declared as the Summoned Skull raised its clawed hands above its head and called down lightning.
Swinging its arms down aiming directly at Sammantha it released the energy which found its mark and seared Sammantha's chest.
Sammantha: 8500
Ken: 3800
"That hurt Ken." Sammantha exclaimed as she stood.
"Yeah, don't worry when this is done I'll kiss it and make it better baby." he replied and ended his turn.
Samamntha drew her card. 'Perfect!' she shouted in her mind.
"Here it comes." Robert commented to Ryu and Kelly.
"What? how can you tell what she drew?" Ryu asked.
"Yeah, please do share Bro. I didn't see any visible tell on her." Kelly added.
"I've known her long enough to see what you don't, Look at her left pinky." Robert ordered.
The two Duelists did as they were told and saw that indeed it was doing something, Sammantha was tapping her pinky fiercely against the palm of her left hand.
"What's that mean?" Ryu asked.
"She's anxious to pull off one of her favorite combo's." was Robert Reply as he returned his attention to the field.
Sammantha had set her two original traps again and was setting a third..
"And now I have a temporary gift for you Ken." Sammantha said as she held out her last card.
"I'm sacrificing your two monsters and special summoning, " She paused and walked over to Kens side of the field, removing the two monsters on his Duel Disk and slipping a Card into one of the now vacant slots.
When she returned to her side of the field Sammantha turned and looked Ken in the eye.
"I hope you enjoy the Lava Golem." She said as the Earth began to shake.
Cracks began to form and the ground began to collapse, a warm orange glow began to emanate from the cracks as they sank.
Kens side of the field was sinking into a massive pool of lava. But that wasn't the worst part.
Something was moving in the Lava, something big.
In a great rush the huge beast burst up through the surface of the Lava pool, immediately Ken was captured in the cage the huge beast carried.
Even though it was only a holographic projection Ken couldn't help but feel as though he were going to plummet into the pool of molten rock and metals churning below him.
"I hope you don't mind, you see Lava Golem can't survive without a master so it likes to cage the one it serves." Sammantha explained.
"Unfortunately, it tends to go through masters rather quickly especially when their Life Points are already low. As you can see if you'd turn around." Sammantha further explained.
Ken did as he was asked and squeaked in surprise. Imbedded in the huge creatures chest were four skeletons, smoldering and black from the heat.
"Now, during each of your standby phases you're going to lose one thousand Life Points to Lava Golems effect, in return for that you get a monster that's as strong as the Blue Eyes White Dragon." Sammantha completed her explanation as she ended her turn.
Ken drew his card and winced as a thousand Life Points were drained by his newest monster.
Sammantha: 8500
Ken: 2800
"I'll equip Lava Golem with the magic card Megamorph, Doubling its attack power. Now Lava Golem attack her Life Points directly!" Ken commanded.
Sammantha reached forward to press the buttons near two of her set cards.
"ACTIVATE TRAPS! Gravity Bind and Nightmare Wheel!" She shouted as the two cards activated.
Lava Golem was ensnared in the huge torture device and compressed at the same time.
"Now your monster can't attack and you'll take an additional five hundred Life Points of damage during my stand by phases." Sammantha was happy with the way this Duel had turned out.
"I... No! That's..." Ken was stammering.
He placed his right hand over his deck, the Duel Monsters sign for forfeit. Ken was conceding the match to Sammantha.
"You win, no more. Please?" Ken asked.
"Fine, no problem." Sammantha replied and the Holographic field shut down, Sammanthas Duel Disk now read in at fourteen Star Points.
Ken approached and handed Sammantha his three rarest cards.
His eyes down cast he encountered resistance as the cards impacted the vertical palm of Sammanthas right hand.
"Keep them, I've got no use for beatdown cards." Samamntha smiled and walked over to Robert, Kelly and, Ryu only to be picked up and spun around in Roberts arms.
The four walked into the dinner again, leaving Ken standing outside staring at the door.
"I sacrifice my Giant Orc for Summoned Skull!" Ken announced.
"Then I'll activate my trap cards, Gravity Bind and Bad Reaction to Simochi." Samamntha said as she pressed hte activation buttons on her bright red Duel Disk, bringing the two cards into a vertical position.
