86. Yukie VS Mona, Reign of The Amazons
Yukie stood on the field with her deck at hand, she approached her opponent, a young girl, a bit taller than her. The girl she was facing had long blond hair that was tied into a pony tail. She wore a typical female dorm outfit. Typical? Sure, if you count having your sleeves teared and skirt acid washed, which is what this girl had done.
Yukie looked oddly at the tall girl as her opponent looked down at smirked. "I'm glad Seto Kaiba put me up against a scrawny little girl. Of course, if were a boy, I'd refuse to be involved. But it takes great honor to be chosen among the rest of the elite to be able to participate in such a tournament. I'll finally be able to part take in this KC BoTA I've been hearing so much about." She smiled.
"Yeah it's nice. But whats the problem with dueling a boy?" Yukie asked as the girl handed her deck. Yukie handed hers over.
The two began to shuffle their decks. "I'm a female duelist, I duel for my pride as a young girl. Boys are nothing to me, I want to be the best female duelist. Even if it means defeating Violet Brahn. I'm Mona." Mona said. "Of course, you don't think you can keep my reign down."
Sophia and Genesis growled from afar. "What's the matter?" Doxx asked them.
"That's Mona, she's such a horrible person!" Sophia growled.
"Yeah! She's so sexist! Her only goal is to be the best female duelist. She refuses to duel any boy!" Genesis growled. "of course, my little Kyui-Wui won't have to bother with her. He needs to conserve his energy! You know what? I'm thinking about resigning my place in this stupid tournament for Kyu-Haru! He deserves to fight along side Violet!"
"You're crazy!" Sophia yelled. "NO ONE in their right mind would EVER give up their place in this tournament!"
Doxx smiled, getting a great idea as he scratched his chin. "Excuse me girls, I have something to tend to." He said as he got up and walked away.
"I WOULD! FOR MY LOVE!" Genesis said, looking away, starry eyed.
"Argh! You make me sick!" Sophia growled, pushing Genesis.
"Hey don't push me!" Genesis squealed, pushing Sophia back. The both went over a row of seats, knocking into other students as they fought.
Doxx met up with Quartz and Hide. "Hey guys, I need to tell you something." Doxx said, approaching them.
"I'm not scrawny!" Yukie growled. "Stop calling me that!"
"Heh, I've squashed my fair of female duelists, but you, it's just funny seeing you as one of the duelists here." Mona smirked as she handed Yukie her shuffled deck, Yukie did the same.
The two backed into their sides of the field. "I'll show YOU scrawny!" Yukie growled as they began. Both girls slid their decks in, causing their duel disks to fold out.
"Duel!" The two girls announced as their life points rose to 4000.
"I'll start, draw!" Mona announced, drawing her first card. "I'll start by summoning Amazoness Blow Piper in defense mode! (1500/800)"
Suddenly a woman wearing a jaguar print skirt materialized to the field, wielding a long pipe which to blow darts out of. "Hmmm an amzoness, deck. This shouldn't be tough." Yukie smirked.
"I'll then set two cards face down and end my turn!" Mona announced.
"I go, draw!" Yukie announced, drawing her next card. "I'll equip your Amazoness Blow Piper with my magic card, Majestic Wings - Lucile!"
"What?" Mona said as Mona's amazoness blow piper suddenly grew angelic wings.
"Your monster can now gain one hundred attack points for each level three monsters in your graveyard." Yukie smiled. "But I doubt you have any. But now I can summon this monster, Guardian Lucile! (1900/1700)"
"Heh, a guardian deck? Pretty complex but it's full of flaws!" Mona smirked as a woman with a golden Trojan helmet and armor materialized to the field.
"We'll see about that!" Yukie smirked. "Guardian Lucile! Attack and destroy her Amazoness Blow Piper!"
"Heh." Mona smirked. "A weak move."
"Yes, but my Guardian Lucile comes with a promising effect! Every time it targets your monster as a result of battle, damage is still inflicted even if your monster is in defense mode!" Yukie smiled as the guardian came charging forward with her golden sword at hand.
"Targeting my monster? Then I guess I can activate my trap card!" Mona announced.
"What!" Yukie gasped.
"Activate trap card, Dramatic Rescue!" Mona announced as her trap card flipped up. "When you target my own monster with an effect, then I can replace it with a different monster!"
"What!" Yukie gasped as Mona's Amazoness Blow Piper vanished.
"I'll summon this, Amazoness Swords Woman! (1500/1600)" Mona announced.
"Heh, I'll just destroy that!" Yukie smirked. "Guardian Lucile, attack now!"
"Yukie no!" Kyu called out from the side lines.
"Huh?" Yukie said, looking back as the Trojan female warrior charged at the swords woman, destroying her easily. Mona laughed.
"Not only are you scrawny but your a damn fool!" Mona smiled as the guardian slashed through her own warrior. "Any battle damage I gain from Amazoness Swords Woman goes directly to you!"
"No way!" Yukie growled as her life points reduced to 3600.
"I'll then activate my face down card!" Mona announced, pointing to her face down card. "Pride of The Family!"
"Damn." Yukie said feeling cornered.
"I can activate this when one of my amazons are destroyed. This allows me to bring back the destroyed monster! So now! I bring back Amazoness Swords Woman! (1500/1600)"
"I'll set two cards face down and end my turn." Yukie growled. Mona smiled deviously, knowing she had Yukie in her grasp.
"My turn, draw!" Mona announced, drawing her next card. "Now! I'll summon Amazoness Blow Piper in attack mode! (800/1500)"
"Damn..." Yukie growled.
"Now! I activate Amazoness Blow Piper's special effect!" Mona smiled. "It allows me to reduce the attack of your monster by five hundred!"
Suddenly the amazoness slid a dart into her pipe, then from the end, blew the dart out from her blowpipe, striking Yukie's Guardian Lucile into her neck, causing her attack strength to reduced to 1400.
"No!" Kyu gasped.
"Now! Amazoness Swords Woman! Attack and destroy her Guardian Lucile!" Mona announced, pointing at Yukie's monster.
The swords woman launched forward, slashing down at Yukie's Guardian Lucile, causing the guardian to scream out as she burst into digital bits.
Mona smiled with satisfaction as Yukie's life points reduced to 3500. "And now! Amazoness Blow Piper! Attack her life points directly!" Mona commanded, holding her hand in a fist, smiling deviously.
The amazon loaded another dart into her blowpipe, shooting it at Yukie. Yukie screamed as the dart hit her in the chest, exploding on her. Yukie covered her mouth and coughed, feeling the smoke go into her lungs as her life points reduced to 2700.
"Like I said, you're a weak girl." Mona laughed. "I'll set a card down on the field and end my turn!"
"We'll see whose weak!" Yukie growled, drawing her the third card of her hand and smiling. "Now! I play this, Gravity Axe - Grarl!"
"Heh, yet again you're planing to equip your pathetic magic cards to my own monster?" Mona smirked.
"Hell yeah!" Yukie smiled. "And I'll equip it to your Amazoness Blow Piper, increasing her attack strength by five hundred!"
Suddenly Amazoness Blow Piper's blowpipe vanished in her hands. A long axe materialized before her and she grabbed it, her attack strength rising to 1300.
"I'll then set a card face down." Yukie announced. "And since this card is the only one in my hand I can special summon it without sacrifices! Go! Guardian Grarl! (2500/1000)"
"Err.." Mona growled as the tall dinosaur warrior materialized to the field.
"Now! I'll activate my face down card, Pot of Greed!" Yukie announced.
"But she just played that down! Agh! It must have been her plan since she was going to summon that guardian." Mona growled as Yukie swiftly drew her next two cards.
"Now! I activate this, Rod of Silence - Keitsu! And I'll equip it to my Guardian Grarl, increasing his defense points by five hundred!" Yukie explained as a magical staff appeared in his hands, raising his defense to 1500. "Now! I'll summon this, Guardian Keitsu in defense mode! (1800/1000)"
Suddenly a beautiful mermaid materialized to the field, ready to battle. "Heh, you're a misguided little girl." Mona smirked.
"We'll see! Guardian Grarl, attack and destroy her Amazoness Blow Piper!" Yukie commanded, pointing. The dinosaur warrior dashed forward, striking the woman with his claw, destroying it. Mona growled as her life points reduced to 2800. "That ends my turn!"
"Draw!" Mona announced, looking at the card she drew and smiling. "I'll summon Amazoness Pet Tiger in attack mode! (1100/1500)"
Suddenly a giant tiger formed on the field, crouching down, letting a loud growl rumble out of its throat as it glared at Yukie's Guardian Grarl.
"My Amazoness Pet Tiger gains four hundred attack points for each Amazoness I have on the field, including himself." Mona smiled as her tiger's attack strength rose to 1900.
"Still not as strong as my Guardian Grarl." Yukie smirked.
"We'll see." Mona giggled. "I'll set two cards face down. Now! Amazoness Swords Woman, attack her Guardian Keitsu!"
"What! But my monster has a greater defense strength!" Yukie said as the swords woman jumped up, and came down, slashing her sword at the mermaid. Guardian Keitsu acted fast, putting up a water bubble around her to protect herself.
Mona laughed. "Yeah her defense strength is higher than my Amazoness Swords Woman's attack, but remember her effect? Any battle damage I gain from her goes directly to you!" She explained.
"Err..." Yukie growled, feeling stupid as her life points lowered to 2400.
Both players now had zero cards in their hands, but Yukie was about to change that. "Draw!" Yukie announced, drawing her first card for her new hand. "I'm going to end this! Now! Guardian Grarl, attack and destroy her Amazoness Pet Tiger!"
"I don't think so." Mona smiled. "Activate trap card, Amazoness Archers!"
"What?" Yukie gasped.
"I'll then activate my last face down! Go! Amazoness Tamer!" Mona announced as her two face down cards flipped up together.
"Yukie's in a lot of trouble right now." Kyu said, feeling bad for her.
"First for my Amazoness Archers, all your monsters shift into attack mode." Mona explained as Yukie's Guardian Keitsu let down her water shield (1000/1800). "Then all of them lose six hundred attack points."
"No!" Yukie gasped as her Guardian Grarl's attack strength reduced to 1900, Guardian Keitsu to 400.
"And finally, all your monsters have to attack." Mona smiled pleasingly. "Also for my Amazoness Tamer, when my Amazoness Pet Tiger does not destroy a monster this turn, then I can increase his attack power by four hundred!"
"No way!" Kyu gasped as Mona's Amazoness Pet Tiger grew to 2300.
Suddenly Guardian Grarl jumped forward out of Yukie's control, diving at Mona's Amazoness Pet Tiger. Before the guardian could even attack, Amazoness Pet Tiger lashed out his claw, swiping Yukie's guardian away easily.
Yukie growled as her life points reduced to 2000. Suddenly Guardian Keitsu jumped forward, trying to lash out at Amazoness Swords Woman. Mona laughed as her Amazoness Swords Woman slashed at the Guardian, destroying it, reducing her life points further to 900.
Mona laughed. "Looks like I got you beat! It's only a matter of time before I can make the final strike. Face it I have you cornered!" she said.
"I'm not cornered yet." Yukie growled.
Mona sighed. "Whatever. My turn ends." She announced.
Doxx, Quartz, and Hide came into the stadium to see how Yukie was doing, surprisingly, they saw she was cornered. "Yukie's in trouble..." Quartz said.
"Come on Yukie! We're here for you! Don't give up yet!" Hide cheered.
Yukie looked back and smiled, giving them a thumbs up.
"HA You're even pathetic. Depending on a bunch of boys to help you win. That's sad!" Mona laughed.
"It's not sad! I have friends! Yes they are boys, but who cares! We weren't born to stick to one sort of group all our life. If you had any knowledge you know you can depend on anyone!" Yukie growled, drawing her next card. "I can depend on my friends."
"Oh really." Mona smirked.
"Yeah!" Yukie smiled confidently. "Now! I'll activate this magic card, Greedy Reactivation!"
"Huh?" Mona said.
"By removing Pot of Greed from play, I can draw two other cards!" Yukie announced, drawing two more cards, then smiling. "Now! I activate this, Devil's Trident - Hellfire! And I'll equip it to your Amazoness Swords Woman!"
"Heh, either you have a big plan or you like me too much. I'm getting sick of these equip cards!" Mona yelled.
"Trust me, if you were me, it's totally worth it! Devil's Trident gives your Amazoness Swords Woman four hundred attack points." Yukie explained as the amazoness' attack strength rose to 1900. "But now I can take a monster card from my deck with the same attack strength or lower as your monster and add it to my hand!"
"Eh?" Mona said.
Yukie whipped out her deck, searching for the right card, then spotting it, smiling with victory and taking it into her hand. "I chose my Elemental Aura Guardian!"
"Elemental Aura Guardian?" Mona said in a panic stricken expression.
"That's right! And I have just the right cards for it to summon!" Yukie smiled but then Mona laughed loudly.
"For you to summon Elemental Aura Guardian, you need a water, earth, wind, and fire type monster in your graveyard to remove in order to summon it. As I recall you have only a wind, earth, and water monsters." Mona explained.
"Whose said they needed to be in my graveyard?" Yukie smiled deviously as she revealed the last card in her hand.
"Guardian Hellfire!" Mona gasped.
"That's right! Now I remove Guardian Hellfire, Lucile, Grarl, and Keitsu from play so I can summon this! Elemental Aura Guardian! (?)" Yukie announced as the four cards slid out of her graveyard holster. She took them, shoving them into her pocket.
A bright light flashed and Mona screamed, shielding her eyes as a woman with ten angel wings formed. She wore a pendant around her neck with all sorts of colors flashing and wore a long white gown which fluttered in the wind.
"Alright!" Kyu cheered.
"The attack of Elemental Aura Guardian is based on how much attack points my monsters had. She gains attack points equal to half of each monster that was removed from play to summon her!" Yukie explained.
"Ah!" Mona said as Elemental Aura Guardian's attack strength rose to 3650.
"Also, she gets a boost of fifteen hundred attack points!" Yukie smiled as her guardian's attack strength rose further to 5150.
"No!" Mona growled. "I can't be beaten! My goal! It's shattered!"
"Your plans weren't a goal! You were only power hungry! With the cold heart you have you don't deserve to be number one!" Yukie growled. "Elemental Aura Guardian, attack and destroy her Amazoness Pet Tiger!"
The angel held her hands to her pendant which began to shine brightly. Then a round of colorful beams of light shot out, piercing through Mona's tiger, destroying it instantly.
"No!" Mona screamed, falling to her knees.
"Yeah you did it!" Kyu cheered as everyone else in the audience cheered.
Yukie sighed with relief, then looked over at Kyu. "Yay! I did it!" She waved at him. Genesis looked over to see the connection between Yukie and Kyu, getting jealous, she gave him a big hug.
"Agh!" Kyu gagged as Yukie laughed.
Yukie turned to jump off the arena only to face Doxx, Hide, and Quartz, seeming like they need to talk to her.
