Chapter 19: Friendly Visitor P1

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh or Cardcaptors. Phineas and Ferb belong to Disney and will be featured as Erin's friends staying with her through out the adventure starting in this chapter. I do own Erin and her deck. Also for this chapter and the next few chapters I'd like to say this is Season 1 Jaden Yuki I'm using so he hasn't met Aster Phoenix yet.

Erin must've blacked out while being carried to Duel Academy's Infirmary which was lead by Mrs. Fontain, the teacher whom overlooked the Obelisk Blue Girls only Dorm because she woke with a start finding herself lying down in a hospital bed with a brown haired teacher wearing a girls only Obelisk Blue uniform was checking up on her. This would be the teacher Mrs. Fontain. Mrs. Fontain watched over the girls Obelisk Blue Dorm, taught P.E. And was basically Duel Academy's registered Nurse. Erin felt her body aching and tried to sit upward and felt pain in her shoulders and back "Ah! Ouch!"

Mrs. Fontain saw her up but gently pushed her back down "Easy there Erin. Don't move too much, you've been badly injured during your last duel. Your body is telling you, that you need to rest."

"Will that ease the pain I'm in?" Erin asked.

"It should" Mrs. Fontain told her.

Erin was concerned for Jaden "How's Jaden? He and I were on the same team! In that Tag Duel!"

Fontain chuckles "Erin...Jaden is just fine. In fact he's nearly made a full recovery, but your injuries were pretty bad compared to his."

Another thought came to Erin's mind "How's Alexis's brother Atticus?"

"Thanks to you and Jaden defeating him as Nightshroud again he's recovering and freed" Fontain told her "Just rest or just lay still like this for now. No Dueling for at least a day."

"Great..." Erin muttered.

Mrs. Fontain chuckled warmly "I see Jaden's go lucky and fun nature warmed up on you. It's for the best. In the condition you are in, it's best to stay out of Dueling for the day, at least in the common sense of participating in a Duel."

"Are my friends here?" Erin asked.

Mrs. Fontain nods "Yes, they are. They've been waiting for you to wake up. Want to see them?"

Erin nods weakly "Sure."

Mrs. Fontain gets up and walks to the door "Erin has consciousness. She waits for you all to visit-"

Phineas heard the news "That's great news Mrs. Fontain, plus that's a relief! Isn't that right Ferb and Joey?"

Ferb was silent but smiled warmly knowing his friend Erin was going to make it.

"YOU BET!" Joey told the two "When she fell unconscious I feared the worst! Especially when having to explain that to Sakura and Li."

"She'll see you three now" Mrs. Fontain told them.

"Then let's not keep her waiting!" Phineas said.

As this was going on Erin turned to see Alexis sitting between her and her brother Atticus's hospital bed. The blond saw Erin turning her attention to her the Obelisk Blue smiled warmly "I see your awake."

"I am now" Erin admitted blushing "How long was I out?"

Alexis smiled once more "About a few hours."

"How's Atticus?" Erin asked concerned for Alexis's brother.

Alexis found it heart warming that Erin was concerned for her older brother, heck Jaden was too when he had defeated Nightshrowd first still the sincere tone in Erin's voice was enough for Alexis to appreciate and answer her "Mrs. Fontain says he'll make it. Like you he needs to rest. Thanks for asking about him."

"You're welcome" Erin told her.

Ferb, Joey and Phineas walked into the room.

"Hey you two" Phineas said looking at both Alexis and Erin "How's it going?"

"Not so good" Alexis said for Erin "Both Erin and my brother are going to make a full recovery, but are out of commission."

Joey was silent taking one look at Erin and Atticus. MFWD certainly was making themselves more evil to his eyes than any other villain he went up against. It angered him to see Erin and Atticus laying very injured. He looks at Erin "Erin, are you okay?"
Erin looks at him "I feel a bit weak especially in my back and shoulders, but I should pull through."

"That's good" Joey told her "I don't want to see you that injured again."

"It's going to happen" Phineas told Joey.

Joey sighed "It better not! I've taken some Shadow Duels before and know they are no fun. It really upset me the leader of MFWD sighted you out, and their original plan was to lure you out by kidnapping Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy then Duel you two against one."

"That might've succeeded" Phineas sighed "Glad Jaden was there to help her out."

Alexis turned the three boys "I'm glad you and your brother managed to save me with that device, then with Joey helping you three saved me and my friends. Thank you."

"You're quite welcome" Joey told her "Still I'm very angry at how swiftly this came to be."

Ferb nodded sympathetically with Joey's words. Like Joey, Ferb and Phineas weren't too happy at what had developed, but unlike Joey they did feel like MFWD would eventually make their move, and they were right.

Chancellor Sheppard walked into the room seeing his niece "Erin..."

"Uncle Sheppard?" Erin asked.

He nods walking over to her and gently hugged her "I'm glad your safe and sound. Mrs. Fontain has told me you shouldn't be Dueling for the rest of today."

"She told me that too" Erin sighed.

"It's for the best" Alexis told her "I mean it's fun Dueling but when you are injured you need to take it easy."

"I have told your parents about this Erin" Chancellor Sheppard told her "And they are relieved you managed to win alongside Jaden, and are upset understandably not at me but at MFWD."

"As they should be!" Joey told him "They deliberately set a trap up for Erin. I shutter to think what condition she'd be in if Jaden hadn't been there."

"I had a feeling MFWD was making their move somehow" Chancellor Sheppard said "Especially when I felt Nightshrowd returning."

Chancellor Sheppard got up "I better leave and go straight to my office, I'm expecting a call from Seto Kaiba himself about this incident."

"So now...Kaiba's going to find out about MFWD" Joey sighed "Although not sure what Kaiba would do."

"It's Kaiba" Chancellor Sheppard told Joey "He may try to assist Pegasus now even further but for once I'm with you Wheeler, who knows what Kaiba wants but he had to be informed of the incident."

The Chancellor left leaving Erin with her friends at her side.

At the dockyard near the light house at Duel Academy a ship had arrived. A new figure emerged from the ship. The figure had long raven black hair, was a girl around more or less Erin's age, wore a yellow shirt, black shorts, long black stockings, and black boots. This girl had visited Duel Academy before, but she was back again. The first time she had tried to find Zane, and be found out by Jaden Yuki which after their Duel sort of forced her to go back home. She was back again this time at the knowledge that Erin a friend of hers was visiting. The black haired girl turned to the boat "I'll be back by tomorrow evening at the same time."

The man that was in the boat nodded allowing her to walk towards Duel Academy thinking Erin my best friend! I'm coming to visit you!

The girl made her way up to Duel Academy adding onto her thoughts After all it was me that got you into Duel Monsters in the first place Erin.

Inside the hospital room, Erin's health slightly improved. She still had to lie down a bit, but she found out she could sit upright without feeling pain in her back as much. Not going to be able to Duel for two days straight was going to be a problem but, Erin understood in her current condition, even though Duels were safe as long as they weren't shadow duels, she still could end up even more injured. Plus her reaction time to perhaps activate her trap cards in time might be hindered as well. With Phineas watching her, Erin checks her deck to make sure the Shield and Fiery cards were still there in which they were. It was getting to be Friday evening, only one more day till Pegasus arrived.

Erin wasn't expecting what was happening next, there was a knock at the door. Mrs. Fontain answered "Yes, who is it?"

"It's Sakura Syaoran" a voice sounded "Is my Erin in there?"

"Mommy!" Erin said happily she didn't think she'd be very happy to hear her mother's voice.

"She is Mrs. Syaoran" Mrs. Fontain said "You may come in."

The door creeps open and Sakura, Erin's mother walked in. She saw her daughter laying in bed and ran over to her then put her hand on Erin's forehead "Erin, sweetie are you okay?"
"I'm feeling a bit better now mommy" Erin admitted "Where's daddy."

Sakura answered "He's equally worried about you. So worried that he went with Eriol to try to help Pegasus. He wants to make sure MFWD learns that it's bad enough trying to steal the Sakura Cards from you, it's another brand new thing to try to kill you."

She studied her daughter "So what exactly happened to you? Sheppard said you and Jaden got into a Shadow Duel...I thought Duels were perfectly safe."

Jaden answered getting Sakura's attention "Most of the time they are. Shadow Duels on the other hand are the exception. In Shadow duels, I'm not sure how that works but somehow these Duels inflict real damage to one's Life Points."

"How bad can Shadow Duels get to the loser?" Sakura asked him.

It was Alexis that answered "Depends on the one that made the Shadow Game possible, so far to my knowledge only those with Millennium Items can preform Shadow Duels, but so can the Shadow Riders whom have items to do that as well. However if one were to lose a Shadow Game, one could lose your soul, or get turned into dolls."

Sakura blinked at the Doll mention "I hate to ask who did that doll thing happen to?"

Jaden smirked as Dr. Crowler walked in the room for an update on Erin's health, he had overheard the doll part and the Vice Chancellor was blushing red. Jaden answered pointing to Dr. Crowler, why Dr. C had that happen to him. Plus Zane had it happen to him as well. It could've happened to me but I managed to stop the Shadow Rider that was doing that."

Alexis nods "I think out of all of us that dueled against the Shadow Riders, Jaden had been the most successful out of us. Defeating four of them. He even dueled the Supperintendent whom found the Sacred Beast cards and won against him. So Jaden really was successful against them."

Sakura nods looking at Erin as she gently hugged her daughter "I'm glad your okay sweetie! I'll be with your friends wishing for a complete recovery."

She turned her attention to Mrs. Fontain "When can she move?"

"She can when she feels that she can move. I've told her she can't duel for the rest of this day being injured."

"I'll make sure she doesn't then" Sakura said.

Then the next thing happened, a knock happened at the door and a new voice spoke "Um, I'm a visitor to Duel Academy, but Chancellor Sheppard told me Erin was in this room...May I come in?"

Erin heard the voice and new who it was "BLAIR! Sure you can come in!"

Sakura giggled hearing her daughter excited to hear that voice. The door opened and the raven haired girl walked in. From his bed Jaden blushed clearly hoping this girl still didn't have a crush on him. The girl sighted Erin, gasped and ran over to her "Man, you look bad Erin...What happened to you?"

"Shadow Duel" Erin answered.

"Who are you?" Joey demanded.

The raven haired girl glares at Joey not sure why he was demanding that out of her but Erin answered "She's...My best friend Blair Flannigan!" she turned to Phineas and Ferb "I've known about her since I first moved to Japan for the school year."

"Best friend?" Joey noted looking at Blair.

"You bet I am!" Blair told him.

"Then prove it!" Joey told her challenging Blair thinking she could be a member of MFWD "What sort of thing did you do with Erin?"

"I got her into Duel Monsters in the first place!" Blair shouted at him.

"You...Did?" Joey asked "I thought she got into Duel Monsters on her own."

"I didn't" Erin said "It was Blair that got me into Duel Monsters. Here, let me explain how I first met my best friend and how she got me into Duel Monsters."

Phineas and Ferb already accepted the fact Blair was Erin's best friend. In a way they were happy their friend met someone around their age that she could hang around with on a daily bases. Still they wanted to hear Erin's story too.

Flashback

Erin was right about meeting Blair. She recalled when she first moved to Japan when she was five years old to begin her school year when she was in kindergarten. Erin was shy at first, most likely from the experience in moving. She had never moved before until that time which would've been her first. She was already missing Phineas and Ferb. It was a fear she had, that she would never meet any new friend. Erin remembered she had to walk to school. Since it was her first day of school, her mother Sakura decided to walk alongside with her daughter leaving Li behind to do some work around the house. The walk to the school was fine and no one seemed to bother Erin. Once at the school Sakura with plenty of time to wait for the bell to ring, she then left giving her daughter a good luck kiss on her cheek. Erin watches her mother go. No sooner had Sakura left than Erin was approached by bullys whom seemed to have thought Erin was an American citizen.

A Five year old Blair arrived on the scene hearing the bully taunt Erin trying to make her feel bad "That's enough!"

Blair jumped in between Erin and the two bullys arms out stretched. "BLAIR?" the bullies demanded.

"Who else?" Blair challenged back "You two are always trying to cause trouble around those that are new! I won't stand behind to let you two have your fun."

"But she came from the Tri-state Area in the US!" one of the bullies told her.

"DOESN'T MATTER!" Blair shouted "She's here to learn. If you want to bully her, I won't allow such a thing to happen!"

The bullies frown walking away "This isn't over Rin."

"I-I-I-It's Erin!" Erin told them.

Blair watches the bullies leave then turned to her "Are you okay?"

"I am now" Erin answered "I'm Erin Syaoran by the way, and who are you?"

"I'm Blair Flannigan!" Blair replied reaching her hand out to shake Erin's "Want to hang out with me till school begins?"

"Sure!" Erin said.

End of Flashback

Erin smiled warmly at Blair "That was the first time we've ever met."

"I hate bullies even though Tristrian and I started off at ones" Joey muttered "At least the ones bullying you Erin weren't as bad as Trudge was to me, Tristrian and even Yugi. May I ask what happened to them, plus you never answered how Blair got you into Duel Monsters."

Blair smiled "We're getting to that part silly. As to the bullies...They were expelled during the third grade for always bullying new kids. The school Erin and I go to has a very low zero tolerance on bullying."

"Why weren't they expelled earlier then?" Joey asked.

Phineas answered "Most likely because the kids they were bullying were afraid to report them."

"That and a teacher caught them in the act" Blair added on.

Erin took a deep breathe ready to continue her explanation

Flashback

It would take sometime to adjust for Erin but she found that being around Blair made her happy. In ways Blair was her first ever friend in Japan, and the two would become best friends. Always having lunch with each other and sometimes hanging around at each other's houses. Too Sakura and Li's eyes the two were acting like Sakura was around her own best friend Tomoyo. The two girls always had each other's backs. Erin remembered when she and Blair found out about the Sakura Cards due to a monster attack in the city that Sakura had to save the two girls from. After this even it only took one day before school could begin that Erin noticed a small circular shaped object on Blair's right arm "What's that on your arm Blair?"

"It's called a Duel Disk" Blair said.

"Duel Disk?" Erin asked mystified.

"Your mother saving us last night gave me this idea" Blair admitted "Duel Disks are used for a different card game set known as Duel Monsters."

"Duel Monsters?" Erin asked.

Blair nods reaching into her pocket and retrieved her deck "These cards here are all Duel Monster Cards. It's a really fun Card Game."

It was at this point Blair and Erin were approached by the bullies which promoted Blair to stand up for herself and Erin. Blair challenged the two bullies to two against one duel in which the bullies were humiliated by Blair. After this, it would begin Erin's own skills at building a deck and gaining her own Duel Disk four years later.

End of Flashback

"Okay! Those bullies got what they deserved!" Joey announced "Blair owning them even though it was two against one."

"Ferb and I did that to Zane" Phineas reminded him.

"Yeah we'll Blair totally owned them without losing any Life Points" Joey said.

"After Blair defeated them" Erin said "They stopped bullying the two of us...In fact they made sure to stay away from us."

"Which is good" Ferb told her "Bullies like going after those that they think can't or are too weak to stand up to them. Now Blair proved to them that she would stand up to herself and you by beating them which means they don't want to bully those that can stand up for themselves."

"Indeed" Sakura admitted she turned to Blair "Well, Li and I have you to thank for getting our daughter into Duel Monsters. Li will be happy to know that it was a friend that got her into Duel Monsters and not one of those bullies."

Joey stood up causing Erin to ask "Joey?"

"What's wrong man?" Phineas asked.

Joey turned to Blair "So you're hear to visit Erin?"

"That was my original plan" Blair admitted "Why?"

Joey smiled turning to her "Why, it was obvious you'd beat bullies because bullies might not know how to play Duel Monsters as much. I'm also the best friend of the King of Games Yugi Muto!"

Blair smirked at him "Are you challenging me to a Duel?"

"You bet I am!" Joey told her "Beating bullies is one thing! It's a whole different thing when you are dueling against the second place duelist at Duelist Kingdom!"

"And fourth place in Battle City" Jaden noted.

"Stupid Kaiba" Joey muttered "If I would've beaten him I would've gotten third place!"

Blair turned to Erin "I did want to Duel Erin, but-"

"She can't Duel today or tomorrow" Sakura told her "Mrs. Fontain's orders."

Blair nodded understandably as she turned to Joey "Well now, I originally came to see how good Erin is, but she's been taken out temporarily, so I guess I could use you as a warm up."

"Why thank you!" Joey said missing the warm up remark then he got it "WAIT WARM UP?"

Blair nods winking at him "I meant what I say, I wanted to Duel Erin, but I guess I need to see how well my deck can measure up, so you'll be my opponent, then after Erin gets better to Duel."

Blair looks at Erin winking "You and I will have our Duel as friends?"

"You bet!" Erin said happily "I'll give you everything I got!"

Alexis watches "It should be interesting none-the-less."

"Joey might win this one" Jaden said recalling his duel against Blair "But Blair isn't pushover ether...I almost lost to her!"

"And you nearly lost to me too!" Erin reminded him "If it wasn't for that Trap Card that saved you, you would've been defeated."

Blair smiled "So it was by trap card that Jaden was able to overcome your deck Erin? Well, that's better than what I had to go with."

She looks at Erin whom was managing to get out of her bed "I think we'd better duel at the Dueling field."

"I'll meet you there!" Joey agreed.

Alexis had decided to leave her brother for the moment. She wanted to see Blair Duel against Joey. Something told her that Blair had a different deck now and she wanted to see what her deck had now. Jaden followed her. Along the way Bastion, Chazz, Chumley, and Syrus saw the two walking towards the Dueling field. They didn't want to miss a Duel ether so the four followed Alexis, Erin, Ferb, Jaden, Phineas and Sakura to the dueling field. Once at the dueling field, Joey stood at one area of it the far left while Blair was at the far right. Erin along with Sakura sat behind Blair's side with Erin's friends sitting behind them. Alexis and Jaden took the seats to the left of Erin or the right of Sakura.

"This should be one sweet duel!" Jaden said.

"Are you ready to see how far your friendship with Erin takes you?" Joey asked Blair.

"You bet!" Blair told him "I should hope you're ready to handle what I have."

"Well then" Joey told her "I guess there's no going back now!"

The two activate their Duel Disks and shout "DUEL!"

Blair's Life Points: 4000

Joey's Life Points: 4000

"Ladies first!" Blair announced.

"Very well!" Joey shot back "Go ahead!"

"It's my move!" Blair announced, she checked her hand "I summon Queen's Knight in Attack mode!"

A pink armored woman knight appeared on the field ATK: 1500

"Turn end" Blair announced

"Queen's Knight?" Joey asked looking at the monster "That's a monster my pal Yugi has! It's my move, I draw!"

Joey drew his card "Now, here I go! I Summon my Panther Warrior in attack mode!"

Panther Warrior appears on the field ATK: 2000

"To attack with Panther Warrior, I need a sacrifice" Joey admitted "But I can't play the card in my hand if I already summoned it, so I'll set one card face down and end my turn."

Blair had a feeling she knew what the card was "It's my move, I draw!"

She drew her card "I summon my King's Knight in attack mode!"

King's Knight appeared on the field ATK: 1600

Joey blinked thinking King's Knight too?

Blair smiled at Joey "I'm sure you know this already but, by summoning my King's Knight when Queen's Knight is also on the field allows me to activate King's Knight's special ability to allow me to search through my hand or deck and Special Summon Jack's Knight to the field!"

A blue armored knight appears on the field ATK: 1900

Now she has the trio! Joey thought So Yugi isn't the only one with Queen's Knight, King's Knight and Jack's Knight!

"Wow" Sakura muttered turning to Erin "No wonder you liked Duel Monsters when Blair Dueled two bullies."

Erin nodded "Blair's started off good! There's one more card she can play with those monsters."

Blair agreed "You know me well then Erin...After all these were the first three Duel Monsters you've ever known about." She then eyed Joey "Well then, I think it's time to show you some true terror, I activate Spell Card: Polymerization!"

"Uh-oh!" Joey said "I maybe in hot water!"

"You don't even know the half of it!" Blair said giggling "I'll use Polymerization to fuse Queen's Knight, King's Knight, and Jack's Knight together in order to Fusion Summon: Arcana Knight Joker!

Blair's three monsters fused together with the aide of Polymerization to become one huge knight ATK: 3800

"Oh...Great" Joey muttered sweat dropping "Arcana Knight Joker!"

Syrus blinked then paled at seeing the Fusion Monster's attack points "That's a whole lot of monster."

"No kidding Syrus!" Chumley agreed.

"Man" Jaden admitted "Erin, is this Blair's deck she used when she was five?"

"It is" Erin answered "Why?"

"Because it certainly isn't the deck I Dueled against when I dueled Blair" Jaden answered.

"You might've been in even more trouble if she used this deck against yours" Alexis admitted.

"Blair's certainly taken me by surprise" Bastion admitted "I never imagined that she'd be able to have this Fusion Monster and I can see why Erin fell in love with Duel Monsters if she seen this card for the first time."

"Battle!" Blair announced "Arcana Knight Joker, attack Panther Warrior, Arcana Knight Slash!"

Aracna Knight Joker charges forward then slashes Panther Warrior. Panther Warrior roared in pain before it is sliced in half and an explosion happens announcing it had been destroyed. Joey braced himself for the hit Joey's Life Points: 2200.

"With that" Blair told Joey "I end my turn."

"That's a mighty impressive monster!" Joey told her "And I have to admit it but it's the first time I have to figure out how to beat it. That's one powerful Fusion Monster you've got. It's my move, I draw!"

Joey drew his card then checked his hand thinking Arcana Knight Joker is going to be difficult. I know it protects itself from being targetted by card effects that target him. I gotta think smart.

"I'll set one monster face down in defense mode" Joey announced "I end my turn."

"It's my move!" Blair announced "I draw!"

She drew, but she didn't draw a monster card, from the beginning her hand consisted of Queen's Knight and King's Knight but she now used them up to be able to Fusion Summon her monster. She looks at the field "Battle! Arcana Knight Joker, attack Joey's defense monster! Arcana Knight Slash!"

Arcana Knight Joker comes at Joey's defense monster, Blair expected it to be able to destroy the monster but got a shock when it wasn't. Joey explained why as it is revealed "My monster you are attacking is Fortress Warrior! Now for one battle each turn, he can't be destroyed in battle and any battle damage involved with him is zero!"

"Not bad" Blair admitted "I'll set one card face-down and it ends my turn."

"It's my move!" Joey announced "I draw!"

He drew his card "Here goes nothing, I summon my Goblin Attack Force in attack mode!"

Joey's Goblins appeared on the field ATK: 2300

"What is he thinking?" Sakura asked "They don't have the power to defeat Blair's monster."

"Then I'll throw one card face down and end my turn!" Joey announced.

"It's my move!" Blair announced "I draw!"

She drew her card finally getting another monster "I activate my Continuous Trap Card: Call of the Haunted!"

She looks at Joey "Now I can bring back my Queen's Knight to the field!"

Queen's Knight appears on the field ATK: 1500

"Next" Blair announced "I summon my Vlyon Prism Tuner Monster!"

A small fairy like monster appeared on the field.

"Tuner?" Joey asked.

Blair nods "That's right! I'm going to tune my Level four Vlyon Prism Tuner Monster with my level four Queen's Knight in order to Synchro Summon...Avenging Knight Parshath!"

Vylon Prison split into four rings which scanned Queen's Knight, in a flash of light Blair's monster was out ATK: 2600

"Next" Blair announced "I activate Vlyon Prism's special effect! When it hits the Graveyard, by paying five hundred Life Points I can attach it to a LIGHT monster on the field. That monster gains one thousand attack points!"

"Oh, great" Joey muttered watching Blair pay five hundred of her Life Points.

Blair's Life Points: 3500

She looks at the field "I'll equip Vlyon Prism to Avenging Knight Parashath!"

Blairs Synchro Monster's attack points rose. 2600-3600

This caused Alexis, Jaden, Bastion, Syrus, and Chumely to gasp in surprise that Blair knew about Synchro Monsters.

"She knows about them?" Jaden asked "Man, I totally feel that Blair played a different deck when dueling against me, I'd love to take her on with this deck"

"Blair is surprising" Bastion admitted "And I've noticed a trend here...So far all of her monsters are all LIGHT Attribute."

Sakura blinked "And my Erin has mostly Fire Attribute ones."

"Correct" Bastion said "So when that one day comes when Erin and Blair have their Duel...It should be exciting!"

"She's showing a lot of promise" Phineas admitted turning to a shocked Erin at what she had saw "A perfect person for your best friend Erin!"

"Indeed" Ferb noted.

"Thanks guys but that's two Monsters with over thirty five hundred attack points each" Erin muttered worried glad she was seeing Blair's deck now. It gave her time to prepare for her Duel against Blair in the future.

"Battle!" Blair announced "Arcana Knight Joker, attack Goblin Attack Force! Arcana Knight Slash"

"I was hoping you'd do that!" Joey announced "I'll activate my Continuous Trap Card: Fairy Box!"

Blair frowned not having a Trap Card in her hand to discard "Lucky break!"

Joey smirked "I can activate Fairy Box every time you call out an attack, by flipping a coin if I get the right results which is a head, I can make your monster's attack points zero until the end of the turn!"

He flips a coin and it lands on heads "Perfect! Now your Arcana Knight Joker loses all of it's attack points!"

Arcana Knight Joker's attack points decreased. 3800-0

"Great" Blair muttered

Joey pumped up his fist "Since it was a Trap Card activated during battle you can't call off your attack!"

Aracna Knight Joker's slashed Joey's Goblin Attack Force but didn't do anything and they proceeded to beat Blair's monster with their clubs. Blair frowned "Great! There goes my strongest monster!"

Blair's Life Points: 1200

Joey then spoke "When Goblin Attack Force destroys a monster in battle it's set into defense mode!"

Goblin Attack Force retreated into defense mode DEF: 0

"I still have one more attack!" Blair told him "Avenging Knight Parshath will attack your Goblin Attack force and avenge my strongest monster! Avenging Knight Slash! Oh and when Avenging Knight Parshath attacks a monster in battle and it's defense points are lower than it's own, you take piercing damage!"

"Piercing damage?" Joey demanded "No way! I'll activate the effect my Trap Card, Fairy Box once again!"

He flipped a coin and again it landed on heads decreasing Blair's monster's attack points to zero 3600-0

When Blair's monster met Goblin Attack Force again this time the attack and defense were the same, neither monster was destroyed and no battle damage was calculated.

"I set one card face down" Blair announced setting a Quick-Play Spell Card "And I end my turn."

"Now that you did" Joey told her "Your monster's attack points return to normal."

Blair's Synchro Monster returned it's attack points to normal 0-3600

"Man" Jaden remarked "Joey's holding his own."

"He has to" Bastion reminded Jaden "He did quite well against Blair's Fusion Monster."

"That he did" Erin said.

"It's Joey though" Phineas reminded them "He always finds a way to hang in there."

"It might not do him well against Blair's Synchro Monster" Erin said "I'm sure Blair's going to make sure she doesn't lose it now that Joey has Fairy Box out."

"Ether way" Alexis admitted "It looks like this Duel is going to be closer than we expect.

end of chapter

Sigh, it looks like I have to call this a two part chapter. In a way, if I remember correctly though in the original Yugioh Anime it was always at least a two parter. Anyway. This chapter is over. I'd like to point this out right now, that yes, I've designed the deck Blair is using. Dragon Knight 15 knows it as I've used it against him when dueling for fun on Dueling Nexus. I did this so that Blair can have a chance against other Duelist plus her deck in Yugioh GX didn't seem to have forty cards so I had to improvise. Anyway, next chapter is Friendly Visitor P2: Blair and Joey continue their Duel. Can Erin's best friend Blair overcome Joey or will Joey's luck prove to be too much for her.
