Well, yet another few reviews for this week. Thanks again to both Isis the Sphinx and Metal Overlord 2.0 for your reviews. Yep, that's right, Ra is definitely in the house.

Who will win, well, read to find out, lol. And as always, any kind of feedback is appreciated, so feel free to review.

Chapter 30

Frowning, Illidan stared at his hand and field. He quickly realized that he had nothing to slow down Ra. "This isn't good. Now Marik has his Winged Dragon of Ra out, and it has more power than anything in my entire deck. I don't know what to do now. I hope Marie has a plan."

He then glanced over in time to see Marie smile and close her eyes, saying "Not a bad move Marik."

Illidan was shocked by those words coming out of her mouth. "Has she finally lost it?" he questioned in his mind.

She continued to smile, and finally opened her eyes to say "Not a bad move at all. But then again, it's time for me to make a much better move."

Chuckling, Marik said "I'd like to see you try it Marie. You have nothing stronger than The Winged Dragon of Ra, and you know it."

Lightly chuckling, Marie replied "Oh, you think so? Then let's find out. I play my magic card called Card of Sanctity! This allows each of us to draw till we hold 6 cards in our hands."

Illidan quickly drew one card from his deck and slightly frowned at his Cyber Jar.

Marie smiled again and said "Excellent cards! Now I'll summon my Injection Fairy Lily (400/1500) in attack mode." A female fairy like creature with pink hair and a nurse's outfit then appeared on the field. She was had a huge needle in her arms.

Marik's jaw dropped, blurting out the words "Are you being foolish Marie? You know that monster has no chance against Ra!"

Laughing, Marie replied "No, I'm not. Watch as I first equip my new monster with the equip card known as United We Stand, raising my monsters stats by 800 points per a face up monster (1600 + 400 2000/1600 + 1500 3100)!" The pink haired fairy then glowed with a bluish-gold glow as her power grew stronger.

Laughing at this, Marik said "That's still not enough to beat my Egyptian God Card Marie! You'll have to do better than that if you want to beat Ra."

Putting on an innocent smile, she replied "You think? Well, let's find out. First though, I'll place two cards face down. Now, Injection Fairy Lily, attack The Winged Dragon of Ra with Needle Barrage!" The sweet pink haired fairy then flew straight for the mighty golden dragon, ready to fight till the bitter end.

Chuckling, Marik said "Ra, counter attack her pathetic fairy with Blaze Cannon!" Ra prepared to counter strike the incoming fairy as if the attack meant nothing to it.

Suddenly, Yami looked like he realized what was going on and yelled "No Marik! You'll lose your Egyptian God Card in that battle!"

Marie laughed and said "It's too late now Yami! Now I give up 2000 life points to activate Injection Fairy Lily's special effect. Now her attack points increase by 3000 points (5000/3100)!" Suddenly the needle the fairy was carrying tripled in size, making her strength appear much greater.

Marik was in total shock and screamed "NOOOOO!"

"Too late Marik! Destroy his Winged Dragon of Ra now Injection Fairy Lily!" The fairy then tossed her needle straight at the dragon, hitting it's mark. The powerful golden dragon roared in pain as the needle was jabbed into it. Finally, the mighty dragon roared one last roar and exploded into millions of pieces. The explosion brought Marik down to his knees. Slowly, he got up, only to be met by Marie's glare.

"Hysteric Fairy, direct attack his life points with Fairy Beam!" Before Marik could say another word, the blue haired fairy shot a powerful blast from her eyes, knocking Marik back to his knees. Again, he slowly got up, but this time stood on shaky knees.

Seeing that she had done all she could, Marie said "That ends my turn." (Marik 1500, Marie 5100, Yugi 4000, Illidan 3400)

Amazed at what Marie had just done, Illidan just stood in aw. "Amazing! Marie easily took down one of the most powerful monsters in Duel Monsters! She's much stronger than I gave her credit for."

Yami looked over at Marik and then returned his gaze back to his deck. Slowly, he drew and said "It's my move, and I'll start by playing the magic card Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three new cards, but I have to discard two once I'm done. So, I'll discard my Gamma the Magnet Warrior and Alpha the Magnet Warrior. Next I'll play the magic card known as Dark Core, forcing me to discard one card from my hand in order to remove from play one monster on the field. So, I'll discard Beta the Magnet Warrior and choose Illidan's Slate Warrior to remove from play!" Just like that, the golden armored fiend gone in a flash.

Illidan slightly growled at his loss, thinking "Darn it, he is going to be focusing on me now that Marie has too much power."

Slightly smiling, Yami said "Now I'll discard my Valkyrion the Magna Warrior to the Graveyard, allowing me to return my Alpha (1400/1700), Beta (1700/1600), and Gamma (1500/1800) the Magnet Warriors to the field." A gray, yellow, and pink set of magnet creatures then appeared on the field, each looking ready to start a fight. The gray one held a shield and sword, while the yellow one had huge magnet shaped hands, and the pink one had wings and powerful looking fists as well.

"Now, I'll sacrifice all three of my monsters, allowing me to summon my Egyptian God Card, Slifer the Sky Dragon (5000/5000)!" All three of Magnet Warrior's then disappeared in a small flash of light, and the sky then went dark again. Then suddenly, a huge red dragon appeared out of the sky. Its body was enormous. Its head had two sets of mouths. While looking down, the mighty dragon roared, causing a sheer wind to go screeching down to the field.

The wind and the roar themselves sent yet another chill up Illidan's back. In his mind, a small memory of this dragon being in his past flashed. He didn't know why this memory was slightly caused, but it made him still feel uneasy.

Lightly chuckling, Yami said "I'll quickly explain the way Slifer works for you both. You see Slifer's attack and defense points rely on how many cards I hold in my hand. Since I currently hold five, Slifer has 5000 attack and defense points (5000/5000). Continuing with my move, I'll now play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards, meaning Slifer's stats go up (6000/6000)!" With the increase of cards in Yami's hand, Slifer roared yet again as it's strength soared.

"Time to wrap this duel up. Now your Winged Dragon of Ra shall be avenged Marik. Slifer the Sky Dragon, eliminate Marie's Injection Fairy Lily with your Thunder Force!" Slifer roared and opened its huge mouth and began building tremendous energy in it. A sphere of energy was forming it's large mouth. Finally, at long last, the blast was released as a stream of energy at the weaker fairy monster.

Illidan slightly sweated, knowing it was over for Marie's monster, but glanced over at Marie to see she looked rather calm and collective. She even flashed a small smile at the oncoming attack, which made everyone slightly nervous, even Yami himself.

She then lightly chuckled and said "I'm sorry to disappoint you Yami, but I have a trap, and it's one of my favorites. I reveal Mirror Wall! This trap card now cuts all attacking monster's attack points in half, thus weakening your all powerful Egyptian God Card (3000/6000)!" Suddenly, a huge set of mirrored walls then appeared in front of the stream of energy, causing the blast to weaken by half.

Shocked, Yami then lightly chuckled and said "It's still enough to beat your Fairy Lily, Marie!"

Laughing, Marie replied "I don't think so Yami, for I activate Injection Fairy Lily's special effect! I give up 2000 life points, pumping Injection Fairy Lily's attack points up by 3000 (5000/3100)! Now Injection Fairy Lily, dodge Slifer's attack and counter attack with Needle Barrage!" Quickly dodging the blast, the small fairy then took to the air with her massive needle. As she had done before, she tossed her large needle into the neck of her opponent, who happened to be Slifer this time. The large red dragon howled in pain as the needle caused him to fall from the sky. He crashed onto the ground hard, sending shockwaves throughout the tower. Once fully crashing, the massive red dragon then exploded, sending off a huge blast of wind. Yami fell to his knees, for he was truly shaken by the blast.

Illidan watched Yami sitting there, trembling with fear for a few moments till he finally stood, and attempted to regain his composure. He then said in a shocked voice "I'll have to end my turn." (Marik 1500, Marie 3100, Yugi 2000, Illidan 3400)

Illidan just stood there for a moment, soaking in what had just happened. In only two turns, Marie had killed two Egyptian God Cards. That in itself was a shocking feat for anyone to pull off. Realizing now he had to follow through with his move, he slightly nodded at Marie and looked at his deck.

Slowly, he drew and said "I'll play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards." Looking at his two new cards, Illidan could only smile.

"I'll now send my three Magnet Warriors from my hand to the Graveyard, allowing me to special summon Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500/3850)." The same three magnet creatures that Yami had summoned the turn before now appeared on Illidan's side of the field. Slowly, each then began to break apart at their joints. Together, they then started forming a newer creature. Once finally done, all components of the three had formed on huge warrior. It let out a small mechanical moan as it swung it's huge sword in front of itself to show it meant business.

"Next I'll summon another Slate Warrior (1900/400)." Yet another blue fiend with golden armor then appeared on the field. As the first one had, he had his hand on the hilt of his halberd.

"Valkyrion the Magna Warrior, destroy Dark Magician Girl with Magna Slash!" The large warrior then quickly flew across the field, and in one simple motion, sliced Dark Magician Girl in half, making her scream out in pain as she exploded.

"Next I activate my Deck Master's special ability. Since I destroyed one monster, I can attack a second time with Valkyrion. Valkyrion, direct attack Marik with Magna Slash!" As before, the large combination of magnet creatures took flight again and easily slashed Marik, causing his life points to drop down to zero. Marik dropped to his knees, panting hard after the attack.

Marie slightly smiled at Illidan's move, nodding with appreciation. Illidan then turned his attention to Yami and said "Now, to finish this duel once and for all. Slate Warrior, direct attack Yami's life points with Fiend Slash!" Quickly jumping into action, the blue fiend dashed across the field and pulled his large halberd off of his back. He then slashed Yami hard across the chest, causing Yami to fall to his knees as well. Once on his knees, Yami's life points dropped to zero. He only sat there panting hard, just like Marik.

With that, the judge stepped forward and announced "The winners of this tag team duel, Illidan and Marie! Illidan and Marie, I'm also happy to crown you both the first Tag Team Champions! Congratulations!"

Smiling great big, he ran over to Marie and hugged her, saying "We did it Marie!"

She hugged him back, replying with "We did it Illidan!"

He was so happy that he then picked her up off the ground and swung her around with her feet flying through the air. The judge then handed both their new titles.

Once receiving them, they each looked at Yami and Marik. Illidan then walked towards Yami while Marie went to Marik. Each then offered their opponent their hand, which both accepted, and congratulated the team on their success.

Elsewhere in the tower, Gozaburo was pounding on his thrown, screaming "WHY! Illidan must not be allowed to win anymore! So far, he has won all his duels, as well as two others! All of them must lose!"

Thinking for a moment, he then chuckled evilly, saying " I'll send Joey Wheeler to duel Illidan tomorrow! He'll need all the luck he can get to beat Wheeler!"
