Chapter 32: Kitty Litter

"So, this guy, Garu. You're saying that he made an axe appear in thin air and chucked it at that Drake guy with the dragons?"

"Yeah, it must be some part of his Cree power, like equip spells."

"So… we should be able to make swords and crap appear too?"

"I guess, but that's not the weird part. They were on the same side. They both worked for this… Darsus guy."

"Darsus? I think I've heard that name before, but I don't know where," Bann said. He turned back to look at the stragglers. He, Recks, Tiamat, and Zakei had been walking ahead so they could discuss current events. Jesi and Migome were behind them, helping Vaila, who was still a bit weak from her duel.

"Hey! We could use some help here!" Migome yelled at them.

"Coming!" Bann yelled back and started off, but was stopped by Recks.

"I'll go help them. You need to stay here."

"Huh?"

"Dragons."

"Oh…"

Recks ran off to help Migome and Jesi. Bann stayed behind and spoke with Zakei and Tiamat.

"Thank you Recks. At least one of you is helpful. I wish your brother would be as nice at times."

"Heh heh heh…" 'Now Bann's gonna kill me.'

"So, we have the dragons now. Timaeus of Time, Critias of Wisdom, and Hermos of Miracles."

"Yeah, it seems that the Reckah are afraid of them. Haven't you noticed each time we play them, they freak out, and we win the duel soon after?"

"Yeah, they're definitely powerful, and now that we've assembled all three, they seem to be driving off the Reckah. We haven't seen any all day."

"Yeah, you're right."

"Hey Kia."

Kia, Kanya, and Dai appeared.

"So, we also each have the power to talk to our Cree again too."

"Time to bundle up," Kanya said and winter clothes appeared on all three.

"Sheeee's riiiiiight…"

"Guuuuys, ggggeeeet reeeaaady foorr aaaa cooollld chiiiilllll"

The Bashers stopped, changing into warmer clothes and eating a hot lunch.

"How did it get so cold all of a sudden?"

"I can answer that," said a beautiful girl in the snow.

"Who… who are you?" Jesi asked.

"Hey, don't be so rude. This lovely lady out in the freezing weather," Zakei started. 'And we all know what happens in the cold…'

"Master!"

"Um, well she might need some food and a warm place to rest. Come sit by me."

"Thanks, but no thanks, hun. I'm not much into perverts. What I really would like is to sit with him," she said in a sensual voice, eying Bann.

"Wh… who me?"

"I think not!" Migome yelled. "She's obviously a Reckah."

"Well, aren't you a bright one," the beautiful girl said, holding out her hand. The winds swirled in her hands and an ice rose crystallized. She lifted it to her lips and blew, sparkling white snow around.

"Bitch…"

"Well, I did come here to collect souls for Master Darsus. I wanted to see those majestic dragons, but first, I think I'm going to take care of you!"

"Bring it on, my pussy can take care of you!"

Zakei began to nosebleed as Jesi and Recks fell over. Tiamat's jaw dropped and Bann just stared.

"Your… pussy?"

"Cats."

"Of course. What could I have been thinking? Oh, and you might want to wipe yourself up," she said, throwing a towel to Zakei.

"It… it's the altitude…"

"Right. Now let's get this started."

"Fine by me. I'll start by summoning the Cat's Ear Tribe."

Two little kittens appeared in field, playing with a ball of yarn.

"Nice… pussy…"

"Just go."

"Okay, now I, the Great Glaca will…"

"Enough with the melodrama. I said go!"

"You're no fun. Maybe we need to find a deck of cards for you pussy to play with, a nice big deck!"

"I don't get it, nor do I care."

Zakei was rolling on the floor cracking up along with Jesi. Tiamat just stared at both girls, as if he was now trying to eyeball their clothes off.

'Perverts!' Migome thought as she clenched her eyes and fist. Then she let out a large swing, knocking Bann into the air. "Oh… uh, sorry Bann. Heh heh."

"Now, as I was saying, I summon Freezing Beast! Attack her… pussies!"

The ice creature jumped into the air, rolled into a ball, and struck the kittens, who lashed back with their claws. Both monsters were destroyed.

"What did you do?"

"When my cats are attacked, you're monster's attack is lowered to the same as its attack, so both were destroyed."

'Dammit, I can't protect myself so,' "I'll just have to throw down this Spell."

"Do what you want."

"Why, so you're pussy can beat me senseless. You are such a ditz, it's not even funny, Migome."

"You're gonna eat your words."

'I wanna see her eat her…"

"Master!"

'Sorry…'

"I summon Tiger Axe to attack you directly!"

The armor-clad tiger ran at Glaca, slashing her with his large axe.

Glaca barely flinched before calling her next move, "I activate Damage Condenser, Special Summoning my Maiden of Aqua."

"I cast two spells and end my turn." 'She's definitely gonna sac that thing for a stronger monster. I better be ready.'

"Now, I sacrifice Maiden of Aqua to summon Mobius the Frost Monarch."

A large, blue armored man took Maiden of Aqua's place. He beat his fist into the ground and a wave of cold air surrounded Migome, erasing the Spells she just cast.

"Now, beat down on that pussy… cat."

Mobius lifted his left fist and swung at the air, releasing another gust of icy wind, freezing the tiger. He then hit the frozen cat with his right fist, shattering it into a million frozen pieces.

"I set a monster. That's all I can do."

A shadowing creature appeared in the ice.

"On the defensive? I'm not. I summon Cold Cutter. Then, I activate Blizzard Crush. By giving up some of my life, I can destroy your shadow monster."

As some of her life drained away, a huge storm blew in, freezing the shadow and cracking it, but the monster popped out and made a funny face. It looked like a strange cat statue.

"You just destroyed by Neko Mane King! By destroying it with a spell, you've just ended your own turn, so it's my move, and I set another shadow monster."

"So? You're just making the same weak defense as last time."

"You're wrong. I activate Book of Taiyou, revealing the monster I just set."

Sunlight rained down on the shadow, revealing it as a black cat.

"Now, Dark Cat with White Tail, activate your Special Ability."

All three monsters vanished from the field, returning to their master's minds.

"Now, I cast a Spell and Special Summon Speed Jaguar to attack you directly!"

A small jaguar flew onto the field and struck Glaca, taking out more of her life.

"Damn… bitch. You'll pay for this," she said, pointing to her scratched face. "You and your pussies."

Zakei cracked up again and Migome let out another fist of rage on Bann.

"Maybe you should learn to hit the right boyfriend. Anyway, sweetie, I'll make sure she doesn't hurt you again. I activate the Seal of Orichalcos."

Once again, the circular seal appeared on the field, followed by the hexagram shape.

"No!"

"MIGOME!" Bann yelled as he beat on the invisible walls of the Seal. "Timaeus, attack the Seal of Orichalcos!"

Timaeus flew over the Seal and released a beam of light from its mouth.

"It's pointless to try. Not even the mighty dragons of legend can break the Seal."

"Oh yeah?" Zakei asked. "Critias!"

"Hermos!" Tiamat yelled.

Then together, they said, "Help Timaeus break the Seal!"

All three dragons attacked the Seal, but nothing happened.

"Keep trying. Migome has to get out of there!"

"I said it was pointless to try," Glaca said as she turned back to Migome. Her hair parted around her forehead and the Seal appeared above her eyes, which turned a glowing deep shade of red. "I summon Cold Cutter and activate Cold Wave to stop you from using any of your traps. Now, Cold Cutter, attack her Speed Jaguar."

The powered up ice monster struck the Speed Jaguar with an icy claw, slashing it and destroying it.

"That's all for now."

"My turn! I summon King Tiger Wanghu. Then I activate Poison Fang so that every time I destroy one of your monsters, I can inflict even more damage to your life. Now, King Tiger, Rush Recklessly at Cold Cutter."

The armored dark tiger ran at blinding speed, appearing in front of Cold Cutter and sinking his teeth into the frozen beast. Purple haze poured out of the monster's wound and floated over to Glaca, who began to suffocate from the fumes. But Cold Cutter wasn't done. It froze King Tiger, who stopped right as it reached Migome's side.

"What did you do to him?"

"My Cold Cutter freezes whatever kills it, weakening your monster and leaving you pretty much defenseless."

"Oh yeah, well I cast a Spell. Your turn."

"That won't help you. When my Cold Cutter is destroyed, I can Special Summon a new one. Now, I sacrifice him to Summon Mobius!"

Mobius returned to the field, once again destroying Migome's set spell and Poison Fangs. The Seal of Orichalcos appeared on his forehead and his eyes began to glow red. He then punched the frozen tiger, inflicting a huge amount of damage to Migome.

"Hurt, didn't it? I forgot to mention that when a monster affected by my Cold Cutter is destroyed, you feel the cold even more. Chills to the bones, doesn't it? I cast a Spell. Go."

Migome chattered a little and shook. "I…I…I suuuummmmon Reeeesscue Caaaaat," she tried to say as she pulled her cloak tighter around her body.

A small white cat wearing a helmet purred softly next to her leg.

"Now, I can use her effect to summon Catnipped Kitty and Breaker Cheetah. Using Catnipped Kitty's effect… I can take away your Monarch's defense, and since I can choose the battle position of a monster that my Cheetah attacks…"

Breaker Cheetah ran at Mobius, swiping it with it's claws.

"…your monster is destroyed."

Mobius exploded.

"Yes, but your two cats are destroyed at the end of the turn as well."

"Which is why I'm activating Medicine Eater and sacrificing them both to summon Assault Lion!"

A huge lion-like creature appeared behind Migome, clutching Breaker Cheetah in his hand. He then swallowed it like a pill.

"Nice one Migome! She managed to destroy Mobius and summon a powerful monster!" Bann yelled in applause. "The Seal's got nothing on you!"

"We'll see."

"Oh, and I'm not done. I cast two spells. Now you can go."

"I cast a Spell and activate Monster Reborn, Special Summoning Mobius back to the field."

"Him again? My Assault Lion is stronger than him, even with the power of the Seal."

"You're right, so I'm giving him the Ice Blade, making him strong enough to take out your Lion."

Assault Lion let out a great roar, stopping Mobius in his tracks. He was frozen in fear.

"What? What did you do?"

"I sprang my trap, Threatening Roar. You can't attack this turn."

"Fine, but my monster is still stronger than yours."

"For now, but not when I activate this, Wild Nature's Release!"

Assault Lion doubled his already tremendous size. He then attacked Mobius, who lifted his sword. Assault Lion stepped back for a second, but continued his attack, breaking the sword and taking a huge bite out of Glaca's life.

"Your Frost Monarch should be destroyed."

"Thanks to the Ice Blade, you only managed to break his sword. And, since your Spell destroys your Lion at the end of the turn, I am free to directly attack you and take out the rest of your life next turn. Prepare to lose your soul."

"I'll never lose to the likes of you. I activate Beast Soul Swap, returning my Assault Lion to my mind and returning him to the field. He may lose his attack bonus, but at least he can still protect me."

"Now, to take care of your pussy permanently. Mobius, destroy the Assault Lion."

Mobius struck Assault Lion, freezing him and shattering his body. Migome closed her eyes as her life took another hit.

"I… set a monster. Go ahead Glaca."

'Damn, she's on the defensive again. Come on Migome. I know you can win.'

"I summon another Freezing Beast. Then I attack your set monster with it, leaving you wide open for a direct attack."

Glaca laughed as Freezing Beast curled into a ball. It rolled at the set monster, which was revealed as a Cat of Ill Omen. The Black Cat was destroyed.

"Now that you are unprotected, Mobius, attack her!"

Mobius punched her with his massive right fist, throwing Migome against the Seal.
