Hell's Fury Tournament
Chapter 1: The Preliminaries Begin
Tea, Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Yugi's grandfather were watching television when a special broadcast interrupted their program. Suddenly, a blond woman, a brown-haired woman, and a blue-haired woman with their faces cloaked in darkness appeared in front of a podium.
"Greetings, duelists of the world. We, of the HGT Corporation, are proud to announce our corporate merger with Industrial Illusions, " said the woman with brown hair.
"Pegasus has teamed up with a mysterious company like HGT, " said Yugi. "This could be a serious problem."
"To celebrate this new venture, we have decided to hold a Duel Monsters tournament. However, unlike most tournaments, this one is strictly for women only, " said the red-haired woman.
"What? I can't believe this. What kind of tournament would it be without Kaiba, Yugi, or even me?" asked Joey.
"I think this it's a great idea. It gives others a chance to become champions, " said Yugi.
"First, this tournament will be done in a single-elimination style with sixteen contestants, two from each continent and four wildcards. Next, to make that only the best enter this tournament, each duelist must face dueling judges and defeat them. Third, each duelist determines the duelist judges' decks before beginning the duel. Then, the 12 quarterfinalists will be chosen based on their remaining Life Points. Finally, the wildcard spots will go to the four duelists who lost but inflicted the most damage to the judge's Life Points, " said the blond woman. "The tryouts will begin tomorrow and will conclude two weeks from today. Ladies, be prepared because the day after the tryouts end, the Hell's Fury tournament will begin. Thank you for your attention."
Then, their program resumed. They immediately turn off the television.
"Maybe, I should enter, " said Tea.
"Why not? You're a good duelist, Tea. You got an equal chance to win just like everyone else, " said Yugi.
"Do you think Serenity may be interested?" asked Tristan.
"Are you serious? After all those weeks spent training and dueling, I'm sure that she would be thrilled, " said Joey. " I'll call her tomorrow to be sure."
"Good. Let's get some last-minute training in, everybody, " said Yugi.
"Ok. No problem, " they all said.
Therefore, everyone begin working with Tea on her deck and strategies until nightfall. The next morning, Tea and Yugi found themselves at the end of a long line outside Domino Stadium.
"Are you ready?" asked Yugi.
"Of course. Let's get started, " said Tea.
After two hours of waiting in line, Tea and Yugi eventually found themselves facing a desk where a woman with blond hair and brown eyes named Claire was typing names into a computer.
"Can I help you?" asked Claire.
"Yes, I would get my friend registered for the tournament, " said Yugi.
"You're Yugi Moto, the King of Games and three-time Duel Monster Champion, " said Clare excitedly.
"Yes, I am, but that's not important right now, " said Yugi. "My friend her wants to enter the tournament."
"Oh, of course. What's your name, miss?" asked Claire.
"Tea Gardner, " said Tea.
Claire immediately typed Tea's name into the computer. Within minutes, a printout was produced.
"Ok, Ms. Gardner, here is your duel disk, " said Claire as she gave a Duel Disk similar in design to Yugi's. "Your dueling judge is in room 213 on the second floor. You may proceed, however, Yugi must remain here."
"No problem. Good luck, Tea, " said Yugi.
"Thanks, " said Tea as she left.
Tea immediately headed upstairs and searched for room 213. When she arrived there, Tea saw a man with brown hair, blue eyes, and a mustache, who was wearing a Duel Disk.
"You must be my dueling judge, " said Tea.
"Exactly. My name is Adam, " said Adam as they shook hands.
"I believe that you already know the conditions tied to this duel. Therefore, choose my deck, " said Adam.
Adam immediately turned around and presented Tea with five decks. Tea looked over them carefully and made her choice.
"I choose the third deck from the left, " said Tea as she slipped her Duel Disk on her arm.
Adam quickly picked up the deck. Tea took her deck out of her purse. The two walked up to each other, exchanged, shuffled, and cut their decks. They quickly gave them back to each other and placed them into their Duel Disks.
"Are you ready, Ms. Gardner?" asked Adam
"Let's go!" exclaimed Tea.
"Let's duel!" they both exclaimed.
Their Duel Disks activated and moved into position.
Adam: 8,000
Tea: 8,000
Both of them drew five cards.
"I'll go first, " said Adam as he drew a sixth card. "I play Graceful Charity."
Adam drew three cards from his deck and discarded two cards from his hand.
"Next, I'll summon Time Wizard in attack mode and equip it with Axe of Despair, increasing its attack strength by 1,000 points, " said Adam as he placed it on the Duel Disk.
A red clock-faced monster with yellow gears on his shoulders, knees, and head, who was wearing a purple cape and shoes and white shoes and was wielding a wooden-handled axe instead of his usual clock-headed staff, appeared on Adam's side of the field with its attack strength changed. (1,500/400)
"Finally, I place one card facedown and end my turn, " said Adam as a facedown card appeared behind Time Wizard.
"Not bad of a start. My move, " said Tea as she drew a sixth card. "I summon Gemini Elf in attack mode."
Tea placed Gemini Elf on top of her Duel Disk. A blond elfish girl, who was wearing an aqua blue dress, and gloves and an elfish girl with brown hair, who was wearing a purple dress, appeared on Tea's side of the field. (1,900/900)
"Gemini Elf, attack Time Wizard with Twin Magic Attack!" exclaimed Tea.
"I don't think so. I activate my facedown card, Waboku, " said Adam as a facedown card flipped up.
Gemini Elf used their hands to fire two blasts of green energy at Time Wizard but was unable to destroy Time Wizard.
"I end my turn, " said Tea.
"My draw, " said Adam as he drew a card. "I play Swords of Revealing Light to stop from attacking you for three turns."
Suddenly, yellow light swords appeared in the sky and rained down onto Tea, surrounding her and Gemini Elf.
"Finally, I place one card facedown to end my turn, " said Adam as a facedown card appeared on his side of the field.
"My move, "said Tea as she drew a card. "I set a monster in defense mode, ending my turn."
Tea placed one card facedown and sideways on top of her Duel Disk. A facedown card positioned sideways appeared next to Gemini Elf.
"My move, " said Adam as he drew a card. "I summon Jirai Gumo in attack mode."
Adam placed Jirai Gumo on top of his Duel Disk. A black and brown spider appeared on Adam's side of the field. (2,200/100)
"I now activate Jirai Gumo's special effect, " said Adam as a coin appeared in his hand. "Jirai Gumo's effect allows me to flip a coin into the air and call it. If I guess correctly, I can attack your Gemini Elf normally. However, if I guess incorrectly, it would cost me half of my Life Points to attack Gemini Elf. Here's goes."
Adam tossed the coin into the air.
"I call Tails, " said Adam.
When the coin eventually hit the ground, it showed Heads. Afterwards, it reappeared in Adam's hand.
"Looks like you have to pay over 3,000 Life Points to attack me, " said Tea.
"True, but that will change once I play the magic card Second Coin Toss, " said Adam.
"Second Coin Toss? I've never heard of that card, " said Tea.
"I didn't know that. Ok, this card allows me to redo the coin toss once per turn as long as it is on the field, " said Adam.
Adam tossed the coin again.
"I call Tails again, " said Adam.
This time, when the coin landed, it showed Tails. Afterwards, it reappeared in Adam's hand.
"Jirai Gumo, attack Gemini Elf with Spider Crush!" exclaimed Adam.
Jirai Gumo jumped forward, wrapped its legs around Gemini Elf, and squeezed them continuous, shattering them into pixels. Tea moved Gemini Elf from the top of her Duel Disk to her Graveyard.
Adam: 8,000
Tea: 7,700
"Time Wizard, attack Tea's Life Points directly with Temporal Axe Smash!" exclaimed Adam.
Time Wizard used his axe to swipe Tea, causing her to twitch.
Adam: 8,000
Tea: 6,200
"I end my turn, " said Adam.
"My move, " said Tea as she drew a card. "I play Pot of Greed."
Tea drew two cards from her deck.
"I flip summon my set monster, which is Magician of Faith, " said Tea as she flipped her set monster upright on top of her Duel Disk.
A lavender-haired woman, who was wearing a grape robe and red top and was wielding a crescent-headed staff, appeared on Tea's side of the field. (300/400)
"Magician of Faith's special ability allows me to retrieve a Magic card from my Graveyard, " said Tea. "Therefore, I choose Pot of Greed."
Tea grabbed Pot of Greed from her Graveyard, showed it to Adam, and placed it into her hand.
"I now sacrifice my Magician of Faith to summon my Dark Magician Girl, " said Tea.
Once Tea moved Magician of Faith from the top of her Duel Disk to her Graveyard, it vanished from her side of the field. Next, she placed Dark Magician Girl on top of her Duel Disk. A blond woman, who was wearing a blue and pink-trimmed hat, dress with a jewel placed at the bust line, and shoes and was wielding a sphere-headed staff, appeared on Tea's side of the field. (2,000/1,700)
"Next, I equip her with Magic Formula, increasing the attack strengths of Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl by 700 points, " said Tea.
Suddenly, a book appeared in Dark Magician Girl's other hand, changing her attack strength. (2,700/1,700)
"Then, I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Swords of Revealing Light, " said Tea.
A black tornado appeared and destroyed the light swords.
"Dark Magician Girl, attack Jirai Gumo with Dark Burning Attack!" exclaimed Tea.
Dark Magician Girl used her staff to create and fire a pink energy ball at Jirai Gumo, shattering it into pixels. Adam moved Jirai Gumo from the top of his Duel Disk to his Graveyard.
Adam: 7,500
Tea: 6,200
"I place one card facedown and end my turn, " said Tea as a facedown card appeared behind Dark Magician Girl.
"My move, " said Adam as he drew a card. "I sacrifice Time Wizard to summon Blowback Dragon."
Once Adam moved Time Wizard from the top of his Duel Disk to her Graveyard, it vanished from his side of the field. Next, she placed Blowback Dragon on top of his Duel Disk. A blue and purple metallic dragon with a red laser cannon on his head appeared on Adam's side of the field. (2,300/1,200)
"Now, I activate Blowback Dragon's special effect. I flip a coin three times. If at least two of the flips land Heads, I can destroy one of your cards on your side of the field, " said Adam. "Let's begin."
Adam tossed the coin three times. Each time, it reappeared in Adam's hand. When the coin flips had been completed, the coin had showed Heads twice and Tails once.
"Blowback Dragon, destroy Dark Magician Girl with Metallic Crunch!" exclaimed Adam.
Blowback Dragon moved toward Dark Magician Girl and bit into Dark Magician Girl, instantly shattering her into pixels. Tea moved Dark Magician Girl from the top of her Duel Disk to her Graveyard, changing Tea's Life Points.
Adam: 7,500
Tea: 7,200
"Thanks. You increased my Life Points by 1,000 points by destroying Magic Formula, " said Tea.
"Blowback Dragon, attack her Life Points directly with Pulse Cannon Blast!" exclaimed Adam.
Blowback Dragon fired a spherical blast of red energy at Tea, causing her to twitch.
Adam: 7,500
Tea: 4,900
"I place one card facedown and end my turn, " said Adam as a facedown card appeared behind Blowback Dragon.
"My move, " said Tea as she drew a card. "I place one card facedown and set one monster in defense mode, ending my turn."
Tea placed one card facedown and sideways on top of her Duel Disk. A facedown card positioned sideways appeared on Tea's side of the field. Another facedown card appeared behind the set monster.
"I wonder what you are planning. My move, " said Adam as he drew a card. "Time to use Blowback's special ability to remove your monsters on your side of the field, " said Adam.
Adam tossed the coin three times. Each time, it reappeared in Adam's hand. When the coin flips had been completed, the coin had showed Tails twice and Heads once.
"Sorry, your effect has failed, " said Tea.
"Since it didn't turn out the way I planned, I use the effect of Second Coin Toss to get a second chance, " said Adam.
"Not a chance. I activate one of my facedown cards, Dust Tornado, to destroy your Second Coin Toss, " said Tea as a facedown card flipped up.
A tornado appeared and removed Second Coin Toss from the field.
"It also allows me to place a Magic or Trap card on the field, " said Tea as a facedown card appeared where Dust Tornado was.
"Blowback Dragon, attack her set monster with Pulse Cannon Blast!" exclaimed Adam.
Blowback Dragon fired its attack at the set monster. Tea quickly flipped her set card upright on top of her Duel Disk. A blond woman, who was wearing a black hat and dress, appeared on Serenity's side of the field and instantly shattered into pixels. (1,000/1,500) Tea moved Fire Sorcerer from the top of her Duel Disk to her Graveyard.
"By attacking my Fire Sorcerer, I can inflict 800 points of damage to your Life Points by simply removing two cards from my hand from play, " said Tea.
Tea immediately moved Petit Angel and Shining Friendship from her hand and kept them separate from the top of her Duel Disk. Fire Sorcerer briefly reappeared and unleashed several columns of flame at Adam, causing him to twitch.
Adam: 6,700
Tea: 4,900
"I end my turn, " said Adam.
"My move, " said Tea as she drew a card. "I play Premature Burial to bring back my Dark Magician Girl at a price of 800 Life Points."
Adam: 6,700
Tea: 4,100
Tea moved Dark Magician Girl from her Graveyard to the top of her Duel Disk. Dark Magician Girl reappeared on Tea's side of the field. (2,000/1,700)
"Next, I play Sage's Stone to special summon a Dark Magician from my deck, " said Tea as she pulled her deck out of her Duel Disk.
Tea searched through her deck, found and placed Dark Magician on top of her Duel Disk, and returned her deck to her Duel Disk. A blond man, who was wearing a purple and red-trimmed hat, robe, and boots and was wielding a long scepter with an open-ended head, appeared next to Dark Magician Girl. (2,500/2,100)
"Third, I play Offerings to the Doomed to destroy your Blowback Dragon, " said Tea.
Suddenly, Blowback Dragon was wrapped in bandages and was instantly destroyed. Adam moved Blowback Dragon from the top of his Duel Disk to his Graveyard.
"Then, I play Monster Reincarnation, which allows me to discard one card from my hand to retrieve one monster from my Graveyard, " said Tea.
Tea discarded Silver Bow and Arrow and retrieved a monster from his Graveyard.
"Dark Magician, attack Adam's Life Points directly with Dark Magic Attack!" exclaimed Tea.
Dark Magician fired a dark energy blast from his scepter at Adam, causing him to twitch.
Adam: 4,200
Tea: 4,100
"Dark Magician Girl, attack his Life Points directly with Dark Burning Attack!" exclaimed Tea.
"I don't think so. I activate my facedown card, Negate Attack, " said Adam as a facedown card flipped up.
Dark Magician Girl used her attack to blast Adam, but a force field appeared in front of Adam and dissipated the attack.
"I set a monster in defense mode to end my turn, " said Tea as she placed one card facedown and sideways on top of her Duel Disk.
A facedown card positioned sideways appeared next to Dark Magician.
"My move, " said Adam as he drew a card. "I play Monster Reincarnation just like you did."
Adam discarded Gamble and retrieved a monster from his Graveyard.
"Now, I play Polymerization, combining Barrel Dragon and Blowback Dragon in my hand, to summon Gatling Dragon, " said Adam as he discarded all three cards to the Graveyard and moved a card from his Fusion Deck to the top of his Duel Disk.
A blue and purple metallic dragon with three autonomous arm cannons and giant red spiked wheels appeared on Adam's side of the field. (2,600/1,200)
"Let me guess. This monster has a coin flip special ability too, " said Tea.
"Just like Blowback Dragon, I have to flip a coin three times. Depending on the number of heads I get, I can destroy one monster on your side of the field, " said Adam.
Adam tossed the coin three times, and the coin showed Tails twice and Heads once. Each time, it reappeared in Adam's hand.
"Gatling Dragon, destroy Dark Magician Girl with Robotic Arm Assault, " said Adam.
Gatling Dragon used its arm cannons to pick up and slam Dark Magician Girl into the ground, shattering her into pixels. Tea moved Dark Magician Girl from the top of her Duel Disk to her Graveyard.
"Gatling Dragon, attack Dark Magician with Plasma Shotgun Blast!" exclaimed Adam.
Gatling Dragon fired several yellow energy blasts at Dark Magician, shattering him into pixels. Tea moved Dark Magician from the top of her Duel Disk to her Graveyard.
Adam: 4,200
Tea: 4,000
"Now, I end my turn, " said Adam.
"My move, " said Tea. "Since I can't draw this turn due to Offerings to the Doomed, I flip summon my set monster, which is Magician of Faith, bringing my Pot of Greed back from the Graveyard."
Tea flipped Magician of Faith upright on top of her Duel Disk. Magician of Faith appeared on Tea's side of the field. (300/400) Tea immediately grabbed Pot of Greed from her Graveyard, showed it to Adam, and placed it into her hand.
"I now play Pot of Greed, " said Tea as she drew two cards from her deck. "I summon Maha Vailo in attack mode and equip him with the Axe of Despair."
Tea placed Maha Vailo on top of her Duel Disk. Suddenly, a blond monk, who was wearing a dark blue robe with red jewels on his chest and in his hair and was wielding the Axe of Despair, appeared next to Magician of Faith. (2,550/1,400)
"However, thanks to his special ability, he gains 500 additional attack points for every card equipped to him, including Axe of Despair, " said Tea.
Maha Vailo's attack strength increased. (3,050/1,400)
"He's stronger than my dragon, " said Adam.
"That's right. Finally, I play Raigeki, which destroys all monsters on your side of the field, " said Tea.
Suddenly, lightning bolts appeared in the sky and struck Gatling Dragon, instantly destroying it. Adam moved Gatling Dragon from the top of his Duel Disk to her Graveyard.
"Maha Vailo, attack his Life Points directly with Lightstorm Axe!" exclaimed Tea.
Maha Vailo used the axe to swipe Adam, causing him to twitch.
Adam: 1,150

"Time to use Gatling Dragon's coin effect again, " said Adam.
Adam tossed the coin three times, and the coin showed Tails twice and Heads once. Each time, it reappeared in Adam's hand.
"Gatling Dragon, destroy Maha Vailo with Robotic Arm Assault, " said Adam.
Gatling Dragon used its effect attack to slam Maha Vailo, shattering him into pixels. Tea moved Maha Vailo from the top of her Duel Disk to her Graveyard.
"Gatling Dragon, attack Magician of Faith with Plasma Shotgun Blast!" exclaimed Adam.
"Not so fast. I activate my facedown card, Magic Cylinder, which cancels your attack and sends it back to you, " said Tea as a facedown card flipped up.
Gatling Dragon used its attack to blast Magician of Faith; however, the card stopped Gatling Dragon from destroying Magician of Faith, absorbed the energy used by it, and released it back as a yellow energy blast toward Adam, causing him to fall to his knees.
Adam: 0000
Tea: 4,000
The monsters and the field instantly vanished. Every card remaining on the Duel Disks were removed and placed back into both Adam's and Tea's decks.
"Good job, Ms. Gardner. You definitely proved yourself worthy of entering this tournament, " said Adam as he shook Tea's hand.
"Thank you, sir. That duel was fun, " said Tea.
"By the way, you need these cards, " said Adam as he handed Tea a red and blue card.
"What are these cards needed for?" asked Tea.
"These two cards are proof of our duel. Keep them with you at all times until the quarterfinalists are announced on television, " said Adam.
"Thanks again, " said Tea.
"Good luck in the tournament, " said Adam as Tea left the room. "You'll need it."
