Chapter eighteen - Carmen's Super Angel Warrior !

And I don't give a damn about my reputation,

I never said I wanted to improve my station,

And I'm always feelin' good when I'm having fun,

And I don't have to bruise noone,

So why should I care about a bad reputation?

-- Half-Cocked

Last time ...

" When my Twin Headed Behemoth is destroy it returns in defense mode ," and indeed, it faithfully reappeared sitting atop its card. " Now I'll sacrifice it to summon Dragon Healing Maiden ," said Wing, " Now, Seiyaru attacks Dancing Fairy, owned bitch ,"

CCC-

" I active my facedown card 'Rush Recklessly' to raise my Dancing Fairy's attack by seven hundred points. Dancing Fairy counter attack ," (2700/1300) The red-haired sprite drew back her bowstring back and fired another silver arrow at the dragon.

" I'm activating Negate Attack sesako, so your attack doesn't reach my dragon, " said Wing with a mocking laugh, " You just wasted your magic card ,".

" So ," said Carmen with a scoff, " Your turn is over ," she drew a card from her deck, " Now its mine ,". Cestus of Dagla, hmm, if I sacrifice my Pixie Knight and my Dancing Fairy I can summon my Wingweaver and equip this to it and then any battle damage done to my opponent is added to my life points she devised. " I sacrifice Pixie Knight and Dancing Fairy to summon my Wingweaver, " the two fairies disappeared and were replaced an angel with long lilac-color hair and six wings. " Next I'll equip her with Cestus of Dagla, to raise her heavenly power by five hundred points ," she said, " Wingweaver attack Seiyaryu with Seraphim Rhapsody !".(3250/2400)

Carmen -3250 Lp

Wing - 2750 Lp

Wing shielded his eyes from the blast, and growled irritably, " You destroyed my favorite card sesako! Noone destroys my Seiyaryu and gets away with it !" he warned, " Draw !".

/ She is good, even with Wing's constant taunting she kept her cool and now she's got the strongest monster in play / thought Yugi, Yami was in control but he could still see the goings on through his dark side's eyes.

/ True, but Wing, despite his amateur tongue, has made some decent plays himself / said the pharaoh / He may turn the tide back in his favor / .

Looking at the cards in his hand Wing formulated a plan, " I resurrect Seiyaryu with Monster Reborn, then I'll set one monster facedown and set one card facedown, go sesako ," he said.

" You know, that's getting kinda old, Wingy ," said Carmen as she drew her next card Hmm, this'll let me bring one equipment magic card back from my graveyard she recalled. All that was in her graveyard was the Silver bow and arrow, she didn't need that at the moment, so the best decision was to set it for now with two other cards. " Wingweaver, attack his dragon again with Seraphim Rhapsody ,".

" Foolish sesako ," laughed Wing with his over dramatic voice, " You've activated my trap card, Covering Fire, allowing me to switch half of one of my monster's attack points to Seiyaryu ,". (3500/ 2000) " Seiyaryu, counter attack her winged bitch with flame of sun !".

Dammit, I should've known it was a trap she cursed mentally. Her six-winged angel was obliterated in a blinding inferno and shattered into thousand of points of light. Carmen gritted her teeth, " I end my turn ,".

Carmen - 3000

Wing - 2750

" Draw !" announced the hatted youth, pulling the next card from his card from his deck with gleeful satisfaction. " Stamping destruction and I'll activate it on your middle facedown card ,". Fairy of the spring revealed itself and shattered, Carmen sighed in relief. " Now, Seiyaryu attack the sesako directly !".

" Not so fast, it my turn to play a trap, Waboku ," said the amber-eyed girl.

" What? No, that stops my attack !" cried her opponent in dismay.

" No, just makes it a waste time ," Carmen shot back.

/ Phew / thought Yugi / He would've taken her out this turn if she hadn't played that / .

/ True / Yami agreed / But can she make a come-back? Her side is all but, empty and Wing has two powerful monsters with a total of forty-five hundred. To come back she needs to summon a very powerful monster and she has nothing to sacrifice for it / .

Carmen drew her next card Monster Reborn, I can use this to bring back my Wingweaver she thought initially No, that's too predictable, there's something else I really want to use . She took her Spirit of the Harp and placed it facedown on her duel disc. " I play one monster facedown, your turn ,".

' Probably something weak, I'll attack it with Dragon Healing maiden and own her with my Seiyaryu ' he decided, drawing from his deck, " Dragon maiden, attack her defense ," (2000/1800).

The spirit Carmen played plucked the strings of her harp, canceling out the attack of Wing's monster. (800/2000) Wing recoiled and attacked with Seiyaryu, destroying the angel.

I need something good, fast thought the teen desperately, she would not loose her first duel. She drew her next card Please be something good she prayed, peeking at what she drew. It was one of the Shining Angels she'd shuffled back into her deck, she set it and ended her turn.

" You should give up noob, you're just hiding behind your defense like a coward ," cackled the teen in the methat.

Carmen twitched slightly, " How do you know I'm just hiding, maybe I'm biding my time ," she shot back.

" Whatever sesako, " he said, pulling the next card from his deck, " You know Kaiba would of stomped you if you hadn't pulled a fast one on him by switching your decks before the match! Seiyaryu, attack her defense, Dragon Healing Maiden attack her life points directly !".

Carmen - 1000 Lp

Wing - 2750 Lp

" Man are you predictable, making the same mistake three times in one duel, you've attacked my Shining Angel, letting me summon a light monster from my deck in attack mode as long as it has less than fifteen hundred attack points ,".

" Obviously You don't know math, sesako, that's not gonna help ," retorted Wing.

" Obviously, you don't know my deck ," said Carmen coolly, " I summon Angelic Apprentice ,". (1000/1000)

/ What! I've never heard of that card before / thought Yugi / but Carmen think it can win the duel for her...how thought ? What kind of power does it hide inside / .

" This is my rarest card and one of my favorites to suit. Now ," she drew a card, " I'll equip her with Rare Gold Armor and Ballista of Rampart Smashing, however, since Angelic Apprentice can't use equipment cards, they both go straight to the graveyard ,". She discarded both the cards to her graveyard. Wing raised an eyebrow in confusion, why did she just waste two spell cards? " Now I active my angel's special ability, I have ten magic and trap cards in my graveyard, Angelic Apprentice gain five hundred extra attack points for each of them ,".

' Five thousand points !' / /

" Angelic Apprentice, attack with Winged Stardust Lance !" commanded Carmen.(5000/5000)

Carmen - O

Wing - X

" Damn sesako, " grimaced Wing, " she beat me ,".

" Its Carmen ," said the amber-eyed girl corrected him, recalling the holo-projector and deactivating her duel disc, " I won, so stop being a sore sport about it and hand over your rarest card and your location card ,".

The teen sighed irritably, pulling out the spoils dictated by the rules that were owed her. He turned and left saying, " I don't care if you did beat me, Seto Kaiba's still the best duelist ,".

" Tch, yeah, but only in his mind ," Carmen threw back.

Yami approached, " Quite the surly character, ne ?" he said offhandedly with a smirk. Carmen nodded exasperatedly.

" Well, I'm gonna take off now ," she replied, " sooo... see ya when I see ya, whoever you are ,".

Yami's crimson eyes widened a fraction in surprise as she threw a kawaii smirk of her own back at him and walked away.

CCC-

" My lord Malik ," said the white-haired usurps' right hand man, kneeling obediently.

The teen looked up from his musing, " How many of my assassins are in Domino now ?" he asked sternly.

" Twenty sire ," replied the man. His master stood, rod in hand.

" Prepare the boat, we'll be leaving for Japan in the morning Rishid ," he commanded and turned to retire to his private chambers. Rishid nodded, understanding, and left briskly.

End of Chapter X-tra!

Carmen and Yugi ponder the new 'Duel Disc'

Carmen - You know there something I've been wondering about.

Yugi - What that ?

Carmen - (holds up her duel disc) Why's it called a duel disc? Its not a disc.

Yugi - (looks at his) Well no, its not now, but when he came to Duelist Kingdom cause Pegasus kidnapped Mokuba, they were discs.

Carmen - ( wasn't in duelist kingdom and has no idea) That must've spiced the game up, How would you play with it ?

Yugi - Well there were places that you put your card on the disc and then you threw it.

Carmen - Like a Frisbee? That would make a mess, Yugi, the cards would just go flying everywhere, you could defeat someone by paper cutting them into submission.

Yugi -(;) No, no, i worked alot like the ones we have.

Carmen - Well, there not discs now, it makes no sense.

Winged Tormentor - okay, I'm just gonna end it right here, this could go on for hours.
