bopdog111: Time for Tania's next battle.
Ulrich362: Can Bastion do what Dr. Crowler couldn't?
bopdog111: He knows how to stop her traps.
Ulrich362: True, but who knows what else she might be planning?
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or Persona but we own the OCs!
"Bastion? Were you up all night?" Yosuke asked.
"To get ready." Bastion answered.
"You'll never win if you're exhausted." Yosuke pointed out.
"It's no worry." Bastion told him.
"I guess." Yosuke mentioned. "Either way, be careful."
Bastion nodded at that. With that Yosuke walked off leaving Bastion alone. Bastion at that looked through his Deck to make sure he's prepared. His deck looked as ready as it could be. He nodded before walking off.
Meanwhile...
Syrus cried out diving to the ground as a bolt of lightning struck the ground where he'd been standing as Yu smiled.
"Are you still alright?" Chie asked.
"What's going on?" Jaden asked curiously walking up.
"Yu and the others are helping me get used to being a Persona User." Syrus answered while taking deep breaths.
"How's it going?" Jaden asked.
"Good, his reflexes are improving and we learned his strengths and weaknesses." Yukiko smiled.
"But it's combat that we should be worried about." Rise admitted.
Syrus sighed. "I don't want you to worry about me Rise."
"After what happened with that Shadow..." Rise trailed off worried.
"That's why we're training him." Chie pointed out only to pause. "Oh yeah, isn't Bastion dueling soon?"
"We should check on him." Jaden suggested.
"Yeah, we should." Yu nodded in agreement.
With that they walked. At the Colosseum they found Tania waiting for them.
"So, which one of you is next?"
"Bastion isn't here?" Jaden asked looking around.
Yosuke frowned. 'He's way too exhausted for this.'
With that he took a step forward.
"I guess I'm up."
"Oh you seem like a bad boy." Tania said looking over him.
Yosuke frowned. "Sorry I'm taken."
"I'm here!"
They turned to see Bastion.
"You're sure?" Yosuke asked.
"Yes of course." Bastion answered.
Yosuke nodded before walking back to stand with Chie.
"Lost track of time mind you." Bastion told Tania.
"Well you're here now, and unlike that last man you're much better looking." Tania smirked.
"W-What?" Bastion asked surprised.
"I think this time on top of your Spirit Key I'll be taking you as my prize." Tania smirked playfully. "So, Wisdom or Power?"
Bastion shaking his head told her, "Wisdom."
Tania nodded placing the deck in her Duel Disc. Bastion placed his Dark Deck in his own.
"Let's Duel!" Tania and Bastion called together.
(Dueling Theme: Hero by Skillet)
Bastion: 4000

"So who's first?" Bastion asked her.

"Now thanks to Amazoness Princess's ability I can add an Amazoness spell or trap to my hand. That's all."

A beast wielding an axe appeared.

Tania frowned seeing the spell.
"And I'll destroy your left face-down!" Bastion called.

"And now Vorse Raider attack!" Bastion called as his monster charged at Princess.
Tania grunted as her monster shattered.
(Tania: 3300)
"Not a bad start."
"I place 2 cards down, and it's your move." Bastion ended.

Tania: 3300

"I remember." Bastion grunted.
Then you also remember what it does." Tania smiled as Amazoness Princess reappeared and she added another card.
"With that done, I'll play the field spell Amazoness Village." Tania said as they appeared at a new location.
Amazoness Village

Bastion looked around at this.
"Thanks to this village all my Amazoness monsters get 200 more attack points, but I'll get to the other effect later. For now, I think I'll activate the Polymerization card." Tania smirked. "I fuse Amazoness Princess with Amazoness Spy in order to perform a Fusion Summon."
Polymerization

Amazoness Empress: (ATK: 2800 + 200 = 3000)
Bastion grunted seeing it.
"Amazoness Empress At..." Tania started before pausing. "I set a monster and that's it."
"Huh? Why didn't she attack?" Syrus asked.
"Bastion has two facedown cards." Chazz pointed out.
Bastion: 4000
Tania: 3300
Bastion 2nd Turn:
"My turn!" Bastion called drawing.
Tania watched calmly.
"Tania, I happened to know what your play style is like." Bastion told her.
"Oh, is that a fact?" Tania inquired.
"Of course. You use a variety of Trap Cards to revive, or make your monsters stronger whiling using Swords Woman's ability to strike hard damage, and use monsters like your Queen to defend your cards from effects." Bastion told her, "But if I can shut down your Traps, and put a stop to those abilities then it wouldn't do much good against anyone else."
"Interesting idea, let's see if you can pull it off." Tania challenged.
"Well here's part one!" Bastion grinned, "I sacrifice Vorse Raider to summon Jinzo!"
At that Vorse Raider vanished as the trap android appeared.
Jinzo

"Jinzo works on both our trap cards you clever man." Tania smiled.
"Oh don't mistake it I know that. But not for long thanks to Amplifier!" Bastion called.
Amplifier

"Awesome." Jaden grinned.
"And then another Spell Card! You might not heard of Paralyzing Potion!" Bastion called.
Paralyzing Potion
Equip Spell Card
A non Machine-Type monster equipped with this card cannot attack.
"So now as your Fusion isn't a Machine, Paralyzing Potion forbades it from ever attacking." Bastion grinned.
Tania frowned at that.
"Finally I'll place 1 card down. Your turn." Bastion ended.
Bastion: 4000
Tania: 3300

"I can draw 2 cards, and banish a dark monster among my hand." Bastion said drawing twice, and pocketing a card.
"So far so good, but he needs a way to destroy those monsters." Chazz pointed out.
"And now I activate Raigeki!" Bastion called.
Raigeki
Normal Spell Card
Destroy all monsters your opponent controls.
Tania frowned before to everyone's shock Amazoness Empress used her sword to protect Amazoness Queen from the spell before shattering.
"What?" Bastion asked.
"My Amazoness Empress has a special ability, none of my other Amazoness cards can be destroyed while she's in play and when she's destroyed I can summon Amazoness Queen from my hand, deck, or graveyard." Tania explained as Amazoness Princess reappeared. "Then thanks to Amazoness Village since you destroyed one of my Amazoness monsters I can summon a new one, specifically Amazoness Tiger in attack mode."

Amazoness Tiger: (ATK: 1100 + (400 *3) + 200 = 2500)
"So Princess counts as a Amazoness Queen." Bastion grunted.
"That's right, and in case you wanted to attack her I have some bad news. You're only allowed to attack Amazoness Tiger." Tania stated.
"And it's stronger then Jinzo." Yosuke said grunting.
"She's a better duelist than we thought, Bastion is in trouble." Zane frowned.
"I end with two set cards." Bastion ended.
Bastion: 4000
Tania: 3300

"Now, Amazoness Tiger attack Jinzo."
The Tiger charged at Jinzo destroying it. (Bastion: 3500)
"Now Amazoness Queen attacks you directly."
Bastion then called, "I activate the trap card, Self Sacrifice!"
"What?" Tania asked in shock.
"When you attack directly when I have higher points then you we both take damage equal to the attack points of every monster on your field!" Bastion called.
Tania's eyes widened.
"Every monster?" Syrus asked in shock.
"That means a draw." Jaden realized, "Is that a good thing? Or a bad thing?"
"What's your name?" Tania asked Bastion as their points both dropped to zero.
Bastion: 0000
Tania: 0000
DRAW!
"Bastion... Bastion Misawa." Bastion answered.
Tania nodded before tossing her Duel Disc to him as it knocked the wind out of him and she caught his Spirit Key. "Here, take good care of my fellow Amazons."
Bastion looked at her Duel Disk surprised before looking up at her.
"There's something about you." Tania mentioned before taking off a gauntlet on her arm as she turned into a Tiger before running off.
Bastion stared off before looking at her Duel Disk.
"Another Shadow Rider down, but we lost the third Spirit Key." Chazz frowned.
"So... A bad kind of win-win." Yukiko admitted.
"It seems that way." Yu nodded only to frown. "Still, we should let Chancellor Sheppard know the situation."
They nodded on that.
Meanwhile...
"Again, just what kind of people are these Key Wielders?" questioned a male voice.
"I can go next, I just might have the answer." replied a female voice.
"Very well Alice. Show them that humans, animals, and supernatural creatures aren't the only things that can command dark power." the old man told her.
"Of course, it's the least I can do for the life you gave me." Alice stated before fading into the darkness.
Ulrich362: Well... a fourth Shadow Rider is defeated but they lost the third Spirit Key.
bopdog111: And already another is on her way.
Ulrich362: True, though as for what this Alice is planning, only time will tell. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
