Yugioh: New lives

Chapter 6

Yuki duels!

The gang turned around to see three people. One was a girl wearing a blue shirt and a white skirt. She had blue hair and eyes, and pale white skin. The next was a gothic looking guy. He wore all black, had short black spiky hair, and black eyes. The last one was familiar to the gang. He hadn't been seen since Marik used him in an attempt to get the millennium puzzle.

"Bandit Keith?" Yuki asked.

"That's right, and I'm here to regain my former glory. Where is that loser Wheeler? I have a score to settle with him." Keith said.

"None of your business." Tristan said to the machine duelist.

"You better tell me loser!" Keith yelled.

"Okay Keith, how about we duel? If you win, we'll tell you where Joey is." Yuki said.

"Yuki…" Atem started.

"No, don't try to talk me out of this. I'll have to duel sometime." Yuki responded.

"And who are you?" asked Keith.

"Yuki Mutou."

"Yugi's sister?

"Yeah."

"Fine, but I'm not gonna duel some nobody. Kisara, you duel her." The girl with blue hair looked hesitant. "What are you waiting for? I told you I would help you find whoever it is your looking for, if you help me. So, duel her…and win." Kisara stepped forward and put on her duel disk. Yuki was about to move forward to when Atem stopped her.

"Yuki, that's…" Atem said.

"I know. She must be looking for Kaiba." Yuki said back. "I'll still have to duel her…and win." Yuki stepped over to where her opponent was. They each shuffled their decks and readied their duel disks. Their life points set to 4000.

"You can go first." Yuki said as she drew her first five cards.

"Fine." Kisara said as she drew her cards. "I play Iron Egg in defense mode." A massive egg that appeared to be made out of iron appeared on the field. "It has 2000 defense points. I set a card and end my turn."

Yuki drew her card. "I play Silent Magician Lv. 4." Yuki said as the small magician appeared on the field. "It may only have 1000 attack and defense points for now, but each time you draw, it gets a spell counter, which increases its attack by 500. Now, I'll set a card and end my turn."

Kisara drew her card. "Now, my egg will hatch into the iron dragon." She said.

"Yeah, but my Silent Magician now gets 500 attack points." Yuki responded. Meanwhile, the egg hatched into an iron colored dragon with 1500 attack and defense. "I will not attack this turn, but I will activate Evolution of the Dragon. Now, as long as I have one of my mineral dragon's on the field, I can evolve it during my next standby phase."

"Mineral dragon?" Tea asked. Keith chuckled.

"Kisara's deck is focused around a series of rare dragon type monster's known as the mineral dragons. They get stronger with each evolution. Iron is the weakest, and Diamond is the strongest. They are very strong, said to rival the Blue Eyes in terms of power." Keith explained.

"I end my turn." Kisara said.

Yuki drew her card. "I activate Cost Down. I'll send Apprentice Magician to the graveyard to lower the level of all monsters in my hand by two. Now, I'll summon the Dark Magician Girl!" The famous Dark Magician Girl appeared on the field and smiled. "Now, Dark Magician Girl, attack Iron Dragon." A blast of magic launched from the spellcaster's wand straight at the dragon. When it hit, Kisara's life points dropped to 3500, but the dragon was still on the field.

"Why is it still there?" Yuki asked.

My Iron Dragon cannot be destroyed as a result of battle." Kisara said with the same saddened look on her face she had the entire time.

"Fine, I'll end my turn." Yuki said.

"I draw." Kisara said. The Silent Magician grew in strength by 500. "Now, my Iron Dragon becomes the Bronze Dragon." The Iron Dragon shed its scales, leaving bronze in place of iron. And, the dragon's attack grew to 2000. All three monsters on the field were equal. "Since it would be useless to attack right now, I'll end my turn. Oh, by the way. As long as the Bronze Dragon is on the field, all special summoned monsters can't attack."

Yuki drew her card. "I'll activate Polymerization." Yuki said.

"Why? Whatever you summon can't attack."

"I know, but it can protect my life points Dark Magician Girl, fuse with Beast King of the Swamps to create the Dark Flare Knightess."

"What?" Bandit Keith was shocked. "I've never heard of that."

"It's not widely known, since Dark Flare Knight is stronger. My Knightess only has 2000." Yuki said.

"Then why do it if it's the same attack?" Tea asked.

"I'll end my turn." Yuki said.

"I draw." Kisara said, as both the Silent Magician and Copper Dragon, which became Silver, grew to 2500 attack points. "Now, Silver Dragon, attack that Knightess." Kisara said. Silver flames flew out of the dragon's mouth, towards the fusion. When the flames cleared, a new creature was standing in its place.

"This is the Mirage Knightess. She can only be special summoned by the effect of my Dark Flare Knightess. And, she has 3000. However, as soon as she attacks, she turns back into Dark Magician Girl." Yuki explained.

"Not bad Yuki, however, my dragon can't be destroyed by a monster of the same attribute as it. Since they are both light…"

"I can't destroy it…" Yuki said. Great, now I need another plan…

"I end my turn." Kisara said.

"Fine." Yuki draws her card. "Now, Mirage Knightess, attack that dragon." The fused warrior jumped into the air, bringing its scythe like sword above its head, and flew toward the Silver Dragon. The strike left Kisara with 3000 life points, and Yuki with the Dark Magician Girl. "Now, I'll activate Swords of Revealing Light. You can't attack for three turns. I end my turn."

"You know, she's pretty good. She's keeping up with all of Kisara's moves. And she duels like Yugi." Keith said.

"Of course she does, they are brother and sister." Tristan said. Meanwhile, Kisara drew her card, giving the Silent Magician another 500 attack points, as well as the Silver Dragon becoming the Golden Dragon. Each now had 3000. "I may not be able to attack, but I do have this." Kisara said as she played a spell. "A spell card called Solar Reflection. It can only be used when I have the Golden Dragon on the field, you will now take 1500 points of damage to your life points." Yuki's life points dropped to 2500.

"Oh no, Yuki's losing." Tea said.

"But, she still has the swords of revealing light to protect her." Atem said. Bandit Keith laughed at that. "What's so funny?" Atem asked.

"Sorry, but this duel is over. Kisara's got a mineral dragon that can beat Yuki, even with those swords." Keith said.

"Yeah…" said the gothic guy. "In about two turns, it's over."

"What?" asked Tristan.

"He means the Emerald Dragon…" came a voice from behind them.

"Shadow?" Atem asked.

"Yup, I just finished up a duel and figured I would see how you guys were doing. And look at what I find. The legendary mineral dragons." Shadow said.

"What's so bad about the Emerald?" asked Tea.

"Well…" Shadow began. "After a certain point, all of the mineral dragons gain the ability to damage the opponents life points, even when the monsters are in defense mode. That starts at Platinum, the next stage. However, each stage after that gets an even stronger effect. Right after the Platinum Dragon is the Emerald Dragon, which is unaffected by all spell cards." He finished his explanation.

"What? So, it can attack even with the swords?" asked Atem.

"Yes, which is what makes these dragons so hard to beat. Right now, Yuki can't attack the Golden Dragon, unless she wants to lose her best monster on the field. Plus, you never know when your opponent can bring their trump card back. So, her only choices are to either destroy it with a spell before it becomes Emerald, use a trap before it becomes Ruby, the form immune to traps, or overpower it, the latter of which is highly unlikely." Shadow said.

"How do you know so much about these cards?" Tea asked.

"I've dueled someone who used them before, and only barely won. And even then, I couldn't overpower the dragons. I won by technicality. My opponent ran out of deck. So, unless Yuki has Exodia, Destiny Board, or some secret move, she's finished."

"I end my turn." Kisara said. Yuki drew her card.

"I activate Spell Reproduction. I'll discard Pot of Greed and Book of Secret Arts to bring Polymerization back to my hand." Yuki said as she brought Polymerization back to her hand. "I end my turn."

"A fusion can't help you." Kisara said. "My dragons can not be defeated, and I must win to find who I have been looking for." She drew her card, as Silent Magician grew by 500 points, and the Golden Dragon became the platinum Dragon. Both having 3500 attack points. "I will now activate the spell card Kishido Spirit. Now, if two of our monsters with the same number of attack points battle, mine will not fall. I end my turn."

Yuki drew her card and looked at Kisara. "I'm sorry, but you won't win. But, if you like, we can help you find who you are looking for." She said.

"What? You can't beat me now…my monster has 3500 and can't be destroyed by your Silent Magician." Kisara said.

"Well, now my Silent Magician goes from Lv. 4 to Lv. 8. And it is immune to spell cards, just like your dragon would be next turn. And, I activate Polymerization."

"What? Why? It won't help you." Kisara said franticly.

"We'll see. I'll fuse Dark Magician Girl with Buster Blader, creating the Dark Paladin Lady." The two monsters disappeared into a swirling vortex, and a monster resembling Dark Paladin, but female, appeared on the field. It had 2500 attack points.

"That's still too weak to destroy my dragon." Kisara stated.

"Maybe so, but with her effect, I think she outweighs your creature. See, she gets 500 attack points for each dragon on the field or in the graveyard. I count 6. so she gains an extra 3000 attack points, giving her 5500. So, between my two monsters, you can't survive this turn. Dark Paladin Lady, attack that dragon with Mystical Dragon Slicer." The Paladin held up her double-edged blade and spun it around, launching magical blasts at the dragon, and lowering Kisara's life points to 1000. "Now, Silent Magician Lv. 8, attack Kisara directly." A magical blast shot out of the monsters staff at Kisara, lowering her life points to 0.

"You lost! Forget it, you can find the guy your looking for by yourself." Keith said as he and the gothic guy walked away.

"No. How am I going to find him now?" Kisara said as she lost a point, leaving her with 1.

"You had two points?" Yuki asked as her point count rose to 2.

"Yes, but now I need to find someone to help me." Kisara said.

"Hey, I said we would help you, and we will, right guys?" Yuki said.

"Yeah." The gang said, even Shadow said yes.

"So, who are you looking for?" Atem asked.

"I don't know…" Kisara said.

"Well, either way, you can hang with us until we find them." Tristan said.

"Thank you." Kisara said.

To be continued.

Authors notes: Whew. Well, I just had to add her in. This was not the original way I was gonna go with this chapter, but it worked well I think. In case you couldn't tell, I made up most of the cards in this chapter. But, I like them.
