Hello once more people of the internet. Damn, it's too early to be up, lol. Anyways, today is my last day of work at my old job, and next week, I begin a new job. Hurray, no more standing on my feet for eight hours straight! I'm ever so happy about that, due that I'm flat footed and my left foot's arch aches like hell after a while. At any rate, time to answer some reviews.

thehyperactivecow: Yep, that's how Yami won. Valkyrion should help Illidan out in his match, but just due that he has a strong monster don't mean it'll win the duel for him. We'll see though.

pink-kiss-candy: Yeah, poor Marie. Watches Brianna get kicked. Poor Brianna, lol. Sells tickets for the cat fight. Come one, come all, watch the fight for Ryou! Gets smacked in the back of the head by fiancé. I mean, break it up, yeah…

Isis the Sphinx: Lol, I figured since I said he was remembering the duel she had had the day before, you might see the transfer. But yeah, he doesn't want to hurt her, much like another time they dueled. You'll see it later in my story, but also if, and that is if and when, lol, my fiancé ever gets more done on her story, you'll be able to read all about it. And I'm sure you'll find a guy like that. Some guys still have a sense of decency and honor left in them. Some though, but not many, sadly.

Well, as promised, I'm posting two chapters, which will finish out the duel between the two lovers. Enjoy, and remember to check out my fiancés' story. The link is in my profile, and in the previous chapter. Later all.

Chapter 67

Sighing, Illidan finally said "Alright Marie, I end my turn right now." (Marie 2700, Illidan 3800)

Marie only smiled at this. She may have been a little low on strength due to his attacks, but she was still going strong. She drew and only smiled yet again, saying "I play the magic card Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards." She then drew her two cards to only smile yet again.

"Now I play the magic card known as Upstart Goblin. This allows me to draw one more card, but gives you 1000 more life points." She then drew her next card. She smiled only once again at this card.

"Next, I play the magic card known as Card of Demise. Now I draw till I hold five cards in my hand, but I must discard my entire hand in five turns." She drew yet again, seemingly carefully studying her new cards.

After a moment, Marie finally smiled and said "It's time I turn this duel around. And it begins with this. I summon The Agent of Force – Mars (0/0) in attack mode!" A red winged fairy with dark wings and an axe then appeared.

Curious, Illidan asked "What are you up to Marie? You know your monster has 0 stats, so why play him?"

Marie only giggled innocently, saying "I gave you additional 1000 life points for a reason Illidan. Now it's time to show you why. I play this magic card, Lighten the Load. This magic card allows me to send one level seven monster from my hand to my deck and then draw one new card. So, I add my Wingweaver to my deck, and then shuffle. Now I draw one new card."

She slowly drew the card and then looked at it. She only smiled at the sight of it, saying "It's over Illidan. First, I'll set three cards face down, and next I play the magic card Reversal Quiz!"

Illidan only scratched his head at the mention of this magic card. "I haven't heard of that card. It can't be good though."

Smiling still, Marie said "Here's how it works Illidan. I must discard my entire hand. So, I send my Wingweaver to the Graveyard. Next I must declare a card type. I have the choice of monster, magic, or trap. I then draw a card from the top of my deck. If I guess right, our life points will switch."

Shocked, Illidan said with wide eyes "HUH? You mean we'll switch life points?"

Marie only giggled innocently as she always did and nodded. Shocked, Illidan's thoughts went wild. "Good grief, if we switch life points now, I'll be in a mess."

"It's time Illidan. Of course, if I guess wrong, nothing happens and I'll be defenseless, and more than likely I'll lose this duel. But if I guess right, your life points become mine and my life points become yours. So, let's see what will happen. I'll choose monster as the type of card I'll draw. Here goes." Marie only closed her eyes and slowly drew her next card.

In the meantime, Illidan was slightly sweating, thinking of what would happen. "If she guessed right, I'm in real trouble. But if she guessed wrong, I'll be still in charge of this duel."

Marie finally opened her eyes and smiled at her new card. She then showed Illidan the card, which was Shining Friendship, the card he had given to her as a present. It was indeed a monster card.

Lightly chuckling, she said "Well, well, looks like I guessed right. Now our life points switch."

Illidan's 4800 life points then transferred over to Marie, and Marie's 2700 life points transferred over to Illidan. Letting out a light growl, all Illidan could do now was watch in horror. "Great, I'm in trouble now. Wait, why am I worried? She only has one monster out, and its attack points are zero. So I'm safe, I hope."

Marie then lightly giggled again, saying "I have another surprise for you Illidan. Notice that I summoned another Agent card. This card has a special ability as well, but its effect couldn't activate while I had such low life points. But now that my life points are much higher than yours, I can activate The Agent of Force – Mars's effect. And here is how it works. It takes the difference in our life points and makes that its attack and defense points. Since I now have 4800 life points, and you have 2700, his attack and defense points are 2100 each (2100/2100)!" The red fairy then glowed with power now.

Illidan only lightly chuckled, saying "Your move has some major flaws Marie. You only have a monster out with 2100, which is only strong enough to take on one of my monsters. There is no way you can win this duel now."

Marie only giggled innocently again, saying "Oh really? I didn't notice. Oh wait, I did. That's why I set two cards face down, and now I'll reveal them. I first reveal my two face down magic cards known as Dian Keto the Cure Master! Each raise my life points by 1000, meaning I gain a total of 2000 life points!" Marie's life point counter then went up as her red fairy then glowed as the difference in life points changed by 2000 (4100/4100).

All Illidan could do was growl as he saw his advantage slip away. Marie only looked at him with a serious look, saying "By the way Illidan, that means my monster is the strongest on the field. So prepare to lose this duel. The Agent of Force – Mars, destroy Illidan's Valkyrion the Magna Warrior with Force Destruction!" The red angel powered up and fired a huge red beam from his axe at the large pieced together warrior. The large warrior then took the hit, exploding into millions of pieces.

"I now get to add your Valkyrion's attack points to my life points, which only makes Mars even stronger. He's only going to continue to grow stronger too (8100/8100). I end my move." (Marie 10300, Illidan 2200)

"Her monster is much stronger than any of mine currently, and it only gets stronger with each of my monsters she destroys. But there has to be a way to stop her. I can't give up." thought Illidan as he assessed the field.

Illidan drew his next card and looked at it. It was only his other Slate Warrior. Sighing, he said "I'll switch my monsters all to defense mode and then I'll set one monster on the field in defense mode. That ends my turn." (Marie 10300, Illidan 2200)

Marie drew quickly and said "Very well Illidan. I'll summon The Agent of Wisdom – Mercury (0/1700) in defense mode." A new angel appeared on the field. This one was green and with rather large green wings. He was hunkered down though in a defense position.

"Mars, attack Illidan's Dark Magician of Chaos with Force Destruction!" The red angel once again powered up and sent a huge blast of red energy at the blue skinned mage who was easily blown away by the attack.

"That ends my move Illidan. By the way, Mars only got stronger that turn (10900/10900). Of course, in my End Phase, Mercury's special effect activates. Since I hold no cards in my hand, I get to draw an extra card in my Standby Phase next turn. It's your move now." (Marie 13100, Illidan 2200)

Illidan only softly growled at this. "Her monster only got stronger last turn. And now I'm beginning to feel the fury of her Agent cards. There has to be a way to stop that monster. Hmm, I have to think of a way to turn destroy it. Now it has too many attack points though. How can I destroy it when it's so much stronger than anything I have?"

Standing there, Illidan finally realized he had to draw. He drew his card and looked. Still nothing to help me win the duel though. It was only his Exchange magic card.

Sighing, he said "I set a monster. That ends my turn." (Marie 13100, Illidan 2200)

Marie drew again, saying "It's time to do this again. First, now that I'm in my Standby Phase, Mercury's effect from last turn activates. I get to draw another card. Next I'll summon The Agent of Creation – Venus (1600/0) in attack mode." A golden angel with three rather large spheres then appeared. The spheres formed what looked like a triangle. At the top was a purple sphere, then to the left was a red sphere, and the right was a blue sphere. Also, she had four golden wings on her back.

"Venus, destroy Illidan's Slate Warrior now with Angelic Crush!" The golden angel let out a small battle cry and sent her three spheres flying at the blue headed fiend, who was easily hit by the three spheres. Before the fiend was about to explode, he threw his halberd flying at the angel, easily slashing it through one of her wings, making her cringe in pain. Then the weaker fiend exploded from the attack.

Marie only looked at Illidan with a puzzled look, saying "What was that?"

Lightly chuckling, Illidan replied "That was my Slate Warrior's special ability. When destroyed, he weakens the monster that attacked him by 500 attack and defense points (1100/0). She will remain weakened throughout the duel now."

Marie only shrugged at this, saying "No matter to me. My attack only strengthened Mars (12800/12800)." The red angel then glowed as his power increased even more than before.

"Mars, attack Illidan's Jinzo with Force Destruction!" The red angel then slammed it's powerful energy wave from it's axe into the cyborg, making it cry out in pain as it was destroyed.

"Now I'll set one card face down. I'll end my turn. Of course, The Agent of Wisdom – Mercury's effect kicks in. By the way Illidan, Mars's attack points went up again (15200/15200). Just figured you'd like to know that." (Marie 17400, Illidan 2200)

Illidan sighed, looking over the field. His mind was lost in thought. "Now what? She has me outnumbered big time. If I try an attack, Mars will just destroy me. I have to think of something and something fast. I bet her face down cards aren't going to be too good either. Hmm, what can I do though?"
