Last time.......

Bi: Okay, I wiped the floor with the little weasel, Toorima, and got his servant, Trakhis the Mythic Dragon. Bakura tells me to hang onto it, but I don't know why I should. Then, Ayana gets kidnapped by Jolie Marthis and her goons: Janguru and Mushi. Jolie wants to duel Toriyama to get her Lilim status back and now Bakura is dueling Janguru. I hope Bakura knows what he's doing.

Chapter Eight: Challenge

Janguru stood across from Bakura, his Black Tyranno, Hyper Hammerhead, and Gilasaurus on the field and Bakura with Dark Calibre Knight on his field. Janguru had just got done attacking Bakura, but now it was Bakura's turn. The white haired man drew a card.

"I shall place two more cards face-down on the field." he said, doing so. "And I will also summon Dead Master - Dead Cregit Mage (4/1700/1200) in attack mode."

An old man wearing a cloak appeared on the field next to the knight.

"Now, Dark Calibre Knight, attack his Gilasaurus!" Bakura said as the knight sliced off the Gilasaurus' head.

Bakura: 7800
Janguru: 6700

"Then, my Dead Master, strike his Hyper Hammerhead!"

The Dead Master waved his wand and blast the dinosaur with fire, destroying it.

Bakura: 7800
Janguru: 6500

"Oh, by the way, Janguru, your hammerhead gets sent straight to the top of your deck instead of to the Graveyard. Be thankful I did that." Bakura laughed.

"You don't scare me. I'll beat you!" Janguru said, drawing a card. "I'll do it with this! First, I play Pot of Greed."

Janguru drew two cards from his deck.

"And then, I'll play Gagagigo (4/1850/1500) in attack mode." he said as the green lizard appeared on the field. "And then I'll use another Ultra Evolution Pill to sacrifice it for this monster, Dark Driceratops (6/2400/1500)!"

The Gagagigo roared in pain, then turned into the Dark Driceratops, who roared angrilly at Bakura. Bakura grinned.

"Attack his Dead Master first, Dark Driceratops!"

The triceratops ran at the Dead Master and rammed its horns through its body, destroying it.

"Now I get to use his other ability, which allows me to send my hand and the Dead Master to my deck and shuffle it. By doing so, I receive no damage at all." Bakura said, doing what he said.

"Fine, whatever! Black Tyranno, destroy his knight!" he said as the tyranno ran at the knight.

"No so fast, fool! I activate my trap card, Windstorm of Etaqua! This will send your Tyranno into defense mode!" Bakura said as a strong gust blew through the area.

The tyranno growled and curled into a ball, basically telling Janguru that it was in defense. Janguru groaned, knowing he had no cards left in his hand. Bakura snickered and drew a card.

"First, I'll use Coins from Heaven, giving us each a new hand. You should thank me again, fool." Bakura said, as he and Janguru drew six cards. "Now I'll summon another monster to the field, Necro Mannequin (3/500/500), in defense mode."

A white mannequin appeared on the field next to the Dark Calibre Knight.

"Then, I'll two cards face-down and end my turn."

Two face-down cards appeared on Bakura's field. Janguru drew, but then Bakura snickered.

"First trap activated! Necri Cycle!" he shouted, revealing the trap.

Necri Cycle
Type: Trap
Effect: This card can only be activated if 1 "Necro Mannequin" is face-up on the field. Special Summon 1 "Necro Mannequin" from your hand or deck to the field in face-up attack or defense position.

Bakura summoned another Necro Mannequin in defense.

"I'm not scared of your monsters, Bakura! Besides, I can easily crush you now with this! Polymerization!" Janguru said, placing the card on his disk. "I'll merge my Gilasaurus with my Hellkite Ptera to form the Hellhornzaurus (6/2000/2000)!"

As he did that, Gilasaur and a brown pteradactyl appeared. The two merged together. When the light cleared, a giant black pteradactyl appeared.

Hellhornzaurus
Type: Dark - Dinosaur
Level: 6
ATK: 2000
DEF: 2000
Fusion: "Gilasaurus" "Hellkite Ptera"
Effect: During the turn that this card is summoned, it can attack your opponent directly.

"Bring it on." Bakura muttered.

"Go for it, my dinos! Destroy his monsters! But first, Hellhornzaurus, attack Bakura directly!" Janguru shouted.

The new winged dinosaur flew over Bakura's monsters and blasted him with a sonic wave from its mouth. Bakura groaned in pain.

Bakura: 5800
Janguru: 6500

"Now, Black Tyranno, Dark Driceratops, attack his monsters!" he shouted as the two dinosaurs destroyed the mannequins. "And you still will lose Life Points!"

Bakura: 3900
Janguru: 6500

"Do you think I care about your little lizards? I could careless! Now it's my turn!" Bakura said, drawing a card. "I'll play my favoritie Magic Card, Change of Heart, on your Black Tyranno!"

A little girl with the wing of an angel and a wing of a devil appeared on the field. She plunged into the tyranno. As she did, the tyranno moved to Bakura's field. Janguru looked shocked.

"Next, I'll sacrifice both your tyranno and my knight to summon this monster, Invader of Darkness (8/2900/2500)!" Bakura said, lying the card on his disk.

A black tornado covered Bakura's field. When it disappeared, a robed figure appeared on Bakura's field. Janguru looked freaked out.

"Plus, any Quick-Play Magic Card you plan on playing, they won't work as long as the Invader's on the field! Invader of Darkness, destroy his Hellhornzaurus!" Bakura snickered.

The invader threw a ball of dark energy at the black pteradactyl, destroying it.

Bakura: 3900
Janguru: 5400

"Next, I'll activate my face-down card, Unholy Sanctity!" Bakura said, revealing his Trap Card.

Unholy Sanctity
Type: Trap
Effect: This card can only be activated if one of your monsters destroys one of your opponent's monsters and sent to the Graveyard. The monster who destroyed the opponent's monster may attack twice.

A black mist entered the invader, his eyes glowing red.

"Invader, destroy his Driceratops!" Bakura shouted.

The invader blasted the triceratops monster with a ball of black energy, destroying it.

Bakura: 3900
Janguru: 4900

"I will end my turn now." Bakura said with a smirk.

Janguru drew a card and grinned.

"Say good-bye to your invader. I play a Magic Card called Jungle Spear!" he said, playing the card.

Jungle Spear
Type: Magic
Effect: This card can only be activated if your opponent has at least one monster on the field. Roll a six-sided die. If the number rolled is 1 or 2, increase the opposing monster's ATK is doubled. If the number rolled is 3, 4, or 5, the monster's ATK is decreased by double. If the number rolled is a 6, destroy the monster.

Janguru rolled a die from his pocket. It landed on a four. To Bakura's surprise, the invader's ATK was reducing down to 1950.

"Now for this. I will play this monster that will destroy your invader called the Masked Jungle Warrior (7/2700/2100)!" Janguru said, placing the card on the field.

A tornado of leaves formed on Janguru's field. When the leaves cleared, a musclebound man with dark skin appeared on the field, wearing a green grass skirt and a wooden tribal mask appeared. His ankles were wrapped with white cloth and his arms had red and blue tribal tattoos. His hair was long and black. He held a spear in his hand.

"But how? Your warrior is a level seven monster. You have to sacrifice monsters to bring it forth." Bakura said.

"I did..... in my graveyard." Janguru said.

Masked Jungle Warrior
Type: Earth - Warrior
Level: 7
ATK: 2700
DEF: 2100
Effect: This monster can only be Special Summoned by removing 2 Earth Attribute monsters from your Graveyard from play.

"So I removed my two Gilasaurus monsters from the Graveyard from play. Masked Jungle Warrior, attack his invader." Janguru said.

The masked warrior threw its spear at the invader and it plunged through its chest. Seconds later, the invader turned into ashes.

Bakura: 3150
Janguru: 4900

"Your move." Janguru said in a cocky tone.

"Very well." Bakura said, drawing a card. "I'll play the Pot of Greed card."

Bakura drew two cards. He grinned and laughed.

"Now this is the end for you! I play the Twilight Portal magic card, offering my Dark Calibre Knight and my two mannequins to summon the Twilight Dragon (12/3500/3000)!" Bakura laughed.

A black portal opened behind Bakura and the three monsters he mentioned entered it. Then, the Twilight Dragon emerged from the portal. Janguru screamed in fear.

"That's not all. I'm going to summon the Twilight Knight (3/1200/900) to the field and equip him onto the dragon!"

The Twilight Knight appeared on the field and mounted the Twilight Dragon, sending it to 4500 in ATK. The Twilight Dragon roared at Janguru, who was whimpering.

"Then, I'll play this Magic Card that I didn't hand to Ayana before she battled Lilith, the Twilight Claws!" Bakura continued, playing the card.

Twilight Claws
Type: Magic - Equipment
Effect: This card can only be equipped on 1 "Twilight Dragon." Increase the ATK of the Twilight Dragon by double its normal ATK. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, inflict half the ATK of the "Twilight Dragon" of Direct Damage to your opponent's Life Points.

"No way!" Janguru said.

Then, golden metal claws formed onto the Twilight Dragon, increasing its ATK to 9000.

"Doubt my power again, eh? Now you'll pay the price for doubting me! Twilight Dragon, destroy his warrior!" Bakura cackled.

The dragon flew at the warrior and the Twilight Knight slashed at it, then the dragon slashed at the warrior with its claws. The warrior keeled over and exploded.

Bakura: 3150
Janguru: 0

Janguru whimpered in fear as he logged out from the VR world. The dragon and the knight disappeared from sight. Bakura cackled.

"Fool." he said. "Now to find Ikamono and Toriyama."

Bakura started to run in a random direction of where he thought Bi and Toriyama would be. Knowing Toriyama, she would be in a cloudy area full of rainbows and stuff. Normal little girl imagination. But Bi was a different story. He didn't know where she would hang out at the most to duel. He knew Ayana likes to go to the Pantheon and Toorima to the prairies. Where would Bi or Toriyama be?

Bi appeared in what seemed like a park. Swingsets, slides, even a sandbox. She was confused, but still managed to keep her Ikamono Shimei disguise on. She walked around the park, the golden duel disk on her arm.

"Bakura?! Toriyama?! Where are you!?" she shouted.

"You know, for a guy, you sure do sound like a girl." came a female voice.

Bi's eyes widened behind her shades. She turned around to see Mushi, the pink haired girl that worked with Jolie. She too had a duel disk on her arm.

"Like my park, Ikamono....... or should I say, Bimusouka Senritsu?" Mushi asked with a grin on her face.

"How did you know who I am?" Bi asked, removing her shades and hat.

"Oh please, like you don't know. You may've registered at Bakura's shop as Ikamono Shimei, but here, we can see past your disguise. And we also know that you are a Lilim." Mushi said.

"A what?" Bi shouted.

"You mean Bakura didn't tell you? Hopefully he will after I'm done with you. I will achieve victory and get your servant, Trakhis the Mythic Dragon. Soon, I will be the Lilim that Marik Ishtar was." Mushi said.

"I don't know what you're talking about, lady, and I sure as hell don't know who you are." Bi said.

"You already know my first name, Mushi, but my full name is Mushi Uri. Are you ready to duel, or are you going to forfeit before we begin?" Mushi asked.

Bi grinned. What is this girl smoking? Of course I'll duel. Gimme a break. she thought. She raised her duel disk.

"So, let's get it on," Bi said, drawing five cards, "I'll take out whatever you throw at me."

Mushi giggled and drew six cards. Bi figured that Mushi wanted to go first. She was a little suspicious of what Mushi would play. Mushi smiled and looked at Bi.

"Get ready for this! I'm going to summon a card face-down and a monster in defense mode." she said, as two face-down cards appeared on the field.

"Goody, my move," Bi said sarcastically, drawing a card, "I'll summon Angel Knight #1 (4/1300/1400) and set a card face-down."

The blond haired angel knight appeared on the field.

"Attack that face-down monster now!" Bi shouted as the angel flew at Mushi's field.

The angel slashed at Mushi's face-down card and a ladybug was revealed. It slowly disappeared afterwards.

"You attacked my Four-Starred Ladybug of Doom (3/800/1200) and you know what that means. Bye-bye, Angel Knight." Mushi snickered.

Green stars formed all over the angel's body. She screamed in pain and exploded. Bi went wide eyed. No one has ever destroyed my Angel Knights. Nobody! she thought.

"My move again." Mushi giggled, drawing. "I'll set another monster in defense mode. I hope you can guess what it is."

A card face-down appeared on Mushi's field. Bi drew a card.

"You'll pay for destroying my Angel Knight! Now I'll play this! Enchanted Halo!"

Bi threw the card on the disk.

Enchanted Halo
Type: Magic - Equipment
Effect: Special Summon 1 Fairy sub-attribute monster from your Graveyard and increase its ATK by 300 points. When this card is sent to the Graveyard, the monster equipped with this card is destroyed as well.

A golden halo formed on Bi's field. Seconds later, the blond Angel Knight appeared on the field with 1600 ATK.

"Next up, I'll play this monster! Fire Angel Knight!" Bi shouted.

Fire Angel Knight
Type: Fire - Fairy
Level: 4
ATK: 1500
DEF: 1200

A cyclone of fire formed on Bi's field and an angel with long red hair and red armor appeared. Her wings were red as well.

"Attack that face-down monster!" Bi shouted.

The Fire Angel Knight flew at the face-down monster and slashed at it with her sword. The monster was another ladybug. But this was black and had a skull on its back. The ladybug blocked the attack.

"Guess what! That was my Skull Mark Ladybug (4/500/1500)! I get 1000 Life Points when its flipped!" Mushi said with glee.

A white mist came from the ladybug toward Mushi.

"I don't think so! Activate Trap Card! Ode to Joy! This Trap Card will see to it that I get the Life Points you receive!" Bi shouted as the Carneige Hall formed around the two players.

"Ode to Joy" echoed throughout the area. The mist was heading towards Bi.

"I don't think so! I activate this Trap Card, Gust of the Moth's Wing!" Mushi said, revealing the trap.

Gust of the Moth's Wing
Type: Trap - Counter
Effect: This card can only be activated when your opponent activates a Trap Card. Discard one Insect sub-attribute monster from your hand to the Graveyard to negate the effects of the Trap Card.

"And I think I'll offer this!" Mushi said, discarding a Flying Kamikiri #1.

Suddenly, a giant moth formed on the field and flapped its wings. Bi started to tremble. She hated insects so much. The gust of wind destroyed the Ode to Joy trap card. Bi started to shake now.

"What's the matter, afraid of a little moth? Is that what makes you tick, Bimusouko? Well, now my bugs are going to bug you now!" Mushi laughed.

Next time.......

Toriyama: Bi continues to battle Mushi, but is still frightened by Mushi's bug monsters. Bakura arrives on the scene and learns of Bi's secret identity. Meanwhile, Ayana wakes up and meets with the boss of Jolie Marthis. Who is this mysterious person and can Bi defeat Mushi? Find out next time on "Apocalyptic Revelations: Nest."
