Chapter 33: Team Skull P2

Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptors or Yugioh. I do own Erin. Also Erin's Rival Tatsuya is another OC I own.

In an abandoned mansion located in Po Town in the Aloha Region, Yuzu was beginning to come around. She opened her eyes to find her head in a brown bag sitting down arms tied to a pole. She tries to move herself to free herself but whoever had tied her up really knew how to tie someone up. She was however able to move her legs which when she had done so she managed to move her legs up towards her mouth and with her toes felt that she had also been gagged. Sighing Yuzu puts her legs in the original position knowing she had been kidnapped. The door opens a female voice sounded "Time to see if our prisoner is awake...Go take off the bag."

"Yes ma'am!"

Yuzu heard the sound of feet moving to her and the bag on her head was removed. Yuzu saw the pink haired girl Plumeria whom was looking at her "So you're finally awake!."

Yuzu's eyes seemed to beg to ask the other girl on why she was here. Plumeria answered "You're here because Guzma beat you in a Duel thinking you could help us out finding our objective. Now that you are awake we're going to take you to Guzma again...And you better agree to help us or else."

"Or else what?" Yuzu tries to say with her gag on but it was muffled.

Plumeria seemed to know what she was asking and answered with an evil smirk "I'm sure Guzma would love to torture you till you submit. Or he'll turn you over to however you were truly looking for."

Yuzu literally almost peed herself if Guzma did give her to MFWD specifically Demonica, then she would be in the female Demon's stomach digiesting a cruel way to go and Yuzu didn't want to experience being tortured.

The two Team Skull Grunts that were with Plumeria untie Yuzu and force her to stand with her arms behind her back which Plumeria handcuffs h while also removing the gag "That's right...Now let's move it! Guzma wants to see you now."

The three march their prisoner across the mansion. As she is forced to march Yuzu finds it odd that they had to exit the top floor and go outside to get to Guzma's room which was also located inside the mansion on the same floor. Once they went back inside Plumeria nods towards the grunt that was guarding the door. He steps aside and opened it. Yuzu is shoved in by Plumeria and Yuzu looks at the other girl at first before seeing Guzma standing on his bed. Yuzu does a quick scan to see a huge briefcase of what she could make out as actual Bugnaium Z crystals. She doesn't look for long as Plumeria pushed Yuzu forward "On your knees!"

Yuzu glared at Plumeria for the push but reluctantly obeys her and was now on her knees with her arms still behind her back and still in handcuffs. Guzma looks at Yuzu "I see you're awake. About time you woke! Betcha wondering why I took you."

Yuzu might've been able to resist Plumeria a bit but Guzma was a different story, she had been beaten by Guzma and decided to play it safe. She didn't say a word only nodded her head to confirm Guzma's statement.

Guzma smirked "Good! I hate repeating things to captives. So listen up."

Yuzu stares at him trying to contain herself from showing that she was scared of him. She had to remain calm and hope her friends were coming to save her. Guzma then spoke "Tell me, what is your name again little girl?"

"Yuzu sir!" Yuzu replied.

"Yuzu hugh?" Guzma asked "I guess little girl will do fine too."

Yuzu wanted to say call her by her real name but felt that wouldn't be the best thing to say in her situation for fear Guzma would turn her into MFWD as Yuzu spoke "Do you all work for MFWD?"

"MFWD?" Plumeria asked.

"Masks for World Domination?"

"Haven't heard of them until now" Guzma told her "Besides Team Skull wouldn't be caught dead wearing masks...Anyway I brought you here so you can help me out."

"I will not cooperate!"

"Oh yes you will" Guzma told her "You see, my aim is to be the best Bug user in any game. I'm also a Trainer with incredible Bug Type Pokemon, as well as an insect duelist. However when I looked at my deck and thought it was complete at first, I noticed that one Monster I didn't have that would make my deck complete...Care to have a guess?"

Yuzu bit her lip at the sound of it, she recalled that Guzma easily beat her in the Duel he had with her, he had Underground Arachnid which should've been incredible enough...However as he was speaking she had a feeling who...Earthbound Immortal Uru?"

"Correct!" Guzma told her "Which was why all of Team Skull was at the location you were at before, we were looking for it."

"If you aren't working for MFWD, What do you have to gain for using such an evil monster?" Yuzu asked.

Guzma answered "Clean out your eyes little girl! I told you I aim to be the best Bug user in any type of sport or game. I have incredible Bug Type Pokemon which one of them my Gliospod is one fierce opponent that no one has even beaten in battle. I'm also an Insect themed Duelist. Having Earthbound Immortal Uru in my deck will fit into it nicely and make my deck highly unbeatable!"

Yuzu thought to herself So he only wants Uru to complete his deck? He's not after world domination? What's Team Skull for anyway?
Guzma looks at his prisoner "Yuzu!"

Yuzu looks at him immediately as if she were a dog. He smirked at this "I'll ask you this. You will help me find where Uru is."

Yuzu gulps "Y-Y-Y-Y-You have the wrong girl! If you want a girl Demonica of MFWD is one you can ask to find Uru! My own friends and I maybe are trying to find and stop the Earthbound Immortals from being used because MFWD has them! So I wouldn't know how to start even if I wanted to help you!"

This wasn't the words Guzma wanted to hear "Oh so you aren't going to help?"

Yuzu panics not liking how he was looking at her like this to intimidate her which was working "LIKE I SAID! EVEN IF I DID WANT TO HELP YOU I WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO!"

Guzma looks at Yuzu "You'll help me one way or another. Even if you don't know where Uru is located you'll help me in anyway."

Yuzu begins shivering but tries to sound brave "Oh really how?"

Guzma smiles bringing out his Pokeball "Oh? Why don't you say hello to Glisospod"

A four foot tall water bug appeared in a flash of light "Glisopod!"

Guzma smirks asYuzu saw how huge the claws were "I'm sure Glisopod here would love to practice his Raser Shell or First Impression attacks on you or sharpen his claws on your body."

Yuzu gulps as she had seen many bugs in her life, even in Duel Monsters however this real life creature was scary. Heck it was as tall as she was or taller! She took one look at the creature's claws and knew that if it had a chance to use them on her body then it could easily slice her in half! Yuzu was lost for words standing upright completely scared out of her wits. Seeing her like this caused Guzma to smile he had his prisoner where he wanted her "You will help me right?"

Yuzu nods not wanting to die being sliced in half by the creature's huge claws. She holds up her arms "Y-Y-Y-Y-Yes, I'll help you!"

"Good answer" Guzma told her.

Yuzu eyes Guzma heart pounding "I'm still not sure how I can help you locate Uru."

"All you have to do is tell me what to look for."

Yuzu sighs "From what Phineas told me, these Earthbound Immortals have some sort of marking in the ground. We were looking for a marking so that we could take that problem out!"

Plumeria had an idea pulling out a laptop computer "Guzma...Perhaps she can help us out by putting her brain to work on located any weird marks online?"

Guzma liked the idea "Good idea"

Plumeria frees Yuzu's hands from her handcuffs and now has Yuzu sit in a chair and ties her to the chair in Guzma's room "Work, Yuzu!"

Yuzu gulps nodding turning the laptop on with Guzma watching her. Guzma then spoke to Glisopod "If she does anything but look for weird markings...Stab her."

The Pokemon nodded putting it's claws at Yuzu's back. Yuzu sobbed once as she is forced to work in this condition knowing that one wrong move could make her captors hurt her.

While this was going on Plumeria turned to Guzma "Her friends might be coming to look for her."

Guzma took this into consideration "I'm fine with our prisoner here. You can take Gladion with you. I need you two to delay Yuzu's rescuers until she finds the Earthbound Immortal."

Yuzu overhears this and turned towards him "If I find any trace Mr. Guzma sir...And if you find Uru and get it will you release me?"

Guzma looks at her "Well I guess I should allow that to happen. After all I would have nothing else for you to do little girl. However you will remain my captive till we find him. Now work harder!"

"Yes, sir!" Yuzu said working harder.

She felt Glisopod's claw at her back and was scared for her life.

Plumeria left the room and then walked down to the first level of the mansion where Gladion was waiting. She turns to him "We have our new orders. Yuzu's friends maybe coming to attempt a rescue mission to save Yuzu. We're under orders to delay them."

"As Guzma wishes" Gladion replied.

The two leave the mansion and wait directly at the gates where a barricade was in a well as four or eight Grunts. Gladion couldn't help but not look back up directly at Guzma's room feeling a bit sorry for Yuzu, after all he had a sister named Lillie whom he left behind at Aether Paradise in order to try to protect her.

Back in Japan, Alexis, Blair, Erin, Sakura and Tea returned to the boys. Joey turned to see Erin and the other girls out of breathe. Yugi never seen any girl so out of breathe before. He knew they had to have been running from something. Phineas did a double take counting down the number of girls mentally in his head. Almost doing that immediately he knew something had happened to Yuzu as she was the only one missing.

"What happened Sakura?" Syaoran Li asked.

Sakura explained "The girls and I have managed to get into that area and we can confirm that it is highly possible it is an MFWD recruitment center for girls...However, it wasn't MFWD that was there...This Team Skull group was also there."

"Team Skull?" Joey asked Phineas and Ferb "Does that ring a bell to you two because it doesn't to me."

"Got us too" Phineas admitted.

"However they are" Blair said catching her breathe "Their grunts are easy...However...Erin and I never got to duel Plumeria..."

"I did get the chance to duel Gladion" Alexis admitted then she sighed "And I lost to him."

"You got away though" Joey said he looked around "One of you didn't."

"Where's Yuzu?" Yuya asked.

Erin answered "She somehow managed to find her way to Team Skull's Leader Guzma, and she was forced to Duel him, in which she lost...Then Guzma took her captive!"

"She's been taken?" Yuya asked "But why would Team Skull want Yuzu?"

Alexis shrugged "I lost so I should've been taken too but they didn't."

"You gotta point there" Tea admitted "You did lose to Gladion yet they didn't capture you...So why would they go after Yuzu for losing?"

"Probably because she Dueled Team Skull's leader" Phineas answered "Maybe he didn't know Gladion was victorious over you...Or Gladion was sent as a distraction rather than to capture you."

"One thing is for sure" Yugi told the group "Is that they have Yuzu, but what for is the question."

"Sakura!" Li said to his wife "Did Team Skull say anything about their objective?"

"Only that they couldn't find any trace of what they were searching for" Sakura admitted

"Do you know where they've taken her?" Yuya asked.

Erin sighed "No, but we got one hint...They've taken her to their town."

"And that Yuzu being theirs will be some use to Team Skull" Blair adds on.

Yugi tried to rack his brain on why Team Skull would want Yuzu.

Erin sits on the ground resting with Tea at her side. Blair sighs too also sitting as it was Syaoran Li that asks them "Did these Team Skull guys-"

"Some of them were girls daddy" Erin told him.

"And girls" Syaoran Li said corrected himself before adding on "Say anything about them to be with MFWD?"

"I didn't get that vibe" Sakura answered her husband "They were, evil in the sense when it came to goals but they weren't, evil-evil like MFWD is ether. My guess and hunch is the other girls and I were at the right place at the wrong time."

"So your saying that this Team Skull attack on all five of you was a random act?" Joey asked her.

"Yes" Sakura answered "It must've been a random act because they attacked all so suddenly. It was as if they felt as if we stumbled onto them as well."

"Random or not" Yuya said "We have to rescue Yuzu."

"Agreed" Erin said "But we have no way of knowing where only Guzma's words say they've taken her to their town."

"I'm curious on what they meant by that" Joey said to Erin "I mean...No town can totally be in control of those guys can it?"

"If they do control an entire town" Yugi told him "Then that would make them pretty intimidating."

"Let's get back to Pegasus's mansion" Erin suggested "He might have something that can help us."
Blair turned to Erin "Yuzu has the transmitter on her like it's on me...Perhaps we can track her down using it."

"Our communications were jammed by those screeches" Erin told her.

"So that's why you couldn't get into contact with us" Yugi said.

Sakura shook her head yes as if to tell the boys that were with them that they had tried to contact them but the communications were jammed. Phineas nods "Easy thing to fix next time."

"Build communication devices that can't be jammed by high pitched sounds" Ferb agreed.

The group now heads back to Pegasus's mansion. They didn't see the shadow of Demonica whom had been in the tree tops hunting for another female victim to eat. The Succubus had heard that Team Skull had captured a friend to Erin. She licks her lips eagerly to eat another girl of Erin...And this time, she wouldn't be using the girl's form to trick Erin...She'd digest the victim alive. She waits till they were out of hearing range before pulling out a device "Leader...I must inform you that Erin and her friends know about our recruitment area for girls only...It seems that this Team Skull was in that area too...They have captured a girl from Erin's team."

"It had better be, Blair" the voice responded.

"It's this Yuzu girl" Demonica said "My hunch is that Team Skull's leader Guzma is searching for Earthbound Immortal Uru."

"Where are you getting at Demonica?"

Demonica answered evilly "Oh, nothing much but to give Guzma what he wants in exchange for a juicy Yuzu."

"He's not interested in joining MFWD. We can't afford to give him Uru because of it!"

"Master...Why does it have to be they have to be with us?"

"Such power is wasted on those that want to use Uru as a common card to use in their deck."

"We can afford to give Guzma Uru" Demonica told him "Plus I want to make Erin suffer at losing one of her newest friends."

"Demonica..." the leader of MFWD spoke then he sighed "Fine...But rather than give Guzma the card...Have him bring Yuzu to you, you know as payment ether that or you can go after one of the other girls he may have with him."

Demonica nods "Thank you! I'll get right away onto it."

She flies to her hideout to prepare to have a juicy naked Yuzu for dinner later.

Erin and her friends returned to Pegasus's mansion. Yugi and Tea had left to see if Kaiba could do anything to help find Yuzu. Once there, Phineas and Ferb worked quickly to repair the communications devices. This was done in amazingly ten minutes. Once this was repaired the boys started to see if they could find where Yuzu was taken. In another room in Pegasus's mansion Erin with her friends say watching the two boys. The group was all amazed when the boys returned with a sensor array which was operating "This is how we'll track each other if we ever get kidnapped" Phineas explained "The chips we hide on each other will immediately activate and should give us our location."

The radar device circled on a computer screen causing Joey to smile "You boys are so good to have around."

Phineas nodded "You bet we are! We'd make any team great."

Suddenly the machine was going off like crazy and Ferb was silent pointing to the screen for his brother Phineas to look at.

"What's going on?" Joey inquired.

"We've gotta hit!" Phineas replied "Yuzu's transmitter is going off!"

"That's great!" Yuya shouted "Where is she being held at?"

Ferb was typing away at the computer he was at and the location was rang up causing Phineas to answer "She's being held in Po Town! According to the computer, it's a Town in the Aloha Region located on Ula'ula Island."

"That's great!" Erin said "Let's get moving."
"Hold on there" Phineas warned he then gasps "According to the computer...Team Skull owns all of Po Town!"

"Define own it" Joey told him.

"As in...They control it!"

"In other words it's their base of operations!" Alexis shouted.

"Great" Erin muttered "Team Skull has their own town! Just great...Not just one building...But all of them!"

"HOW'D DID ONE EVIL TEAM GET AN ENTIRE TOWN?!" Yuya asked shocked, he had heard of many evil organizations but they only centered in one three buildings and not certainly an entire town."

"Not sure" Syaoran muttered not liking that fact "So we're basically going into a full town controlled by Team Skull."

"How can we get to that island?" Erin asked.

Pegasus answered "By helicopters!"

"Which really puts a damper on things" Phineas admitted "Because Helicopters only allow so many to ride on it...Sakura Syaoran, and Li will have to stay behind as well as Tea and Yugi."

"Can a Helicopter fit all the rest of us?" Erin asked looking at Alexis, Blair, Joey, Phineas, Ferb and herself."

"It'll be a tight squeeze" Pegasus told them "But I could manage."

"Then let's get right too it!" Erin said.

Yuya nodded "Let's go for Yuzu!"

Sakura was hugging Erin "Be careful sweetie!"

"I will mommy!" Erin said.

"Stay close to your friends and don't get lost" Syaoran Li told his daughter.

The group of seven now get into a helicopter and it flew off taking Phineas's directions to Po Town.

The Helicopter finds the Ula'ula Island and lands at a Pokemon Center on Route Seventeen. After asking the nurse inside the animal hospital where Po Town was. The nurse got shaky and the group could tell Team Skull certainly left an impression on the island especially when Po Town was mentioned. The nurse did however give them directions. They enter a meadow full of red flowers. Luckily there was a pathway that lead out of the meadow and into a new stretch of area where it was rainy.

"Ah great..." Joey complained "Phineas...You never mentioned there would be rain!"

"The radar device we used can't tell us weather conditions" Phineas told him "So how was I supposed to know it would be rainy."

"Good point."

As they get out they see a police station then after they walked down the road they came across a gate. Joey looks up at the gate "Well, beyond these gates lie the town Yuzu's been taken in...Let's go in!"

He tries to open the gates but he wasn't able too "Anyone see where a key is?"

They were being watched by what appeared to be a middle age police officer whom approached "I haven't seen you all before...You must be new."

The group turns to see the officer, he had gray hair and spoke in a bored type of tone. It is Pegasus that spoke "Ah, nice to see you on this rainy day officer, I'm Maximum Pegasus recently Team Skull kidnapped a friend of my student Erin and was taken to Po Town. I don't suppose you have the keys now."

"I do" The officer replied "But you've gotta be prepared to take Team Skull on."

"Trust us" Joey told the officer "They messed with the wrong group."

"Fine then" the officer replied using a key to open the gates "Everyone has their reasons I suppose...If you don't make it...I'll see to it that your remains get to your loved ones."

Joey turned "Are you a member of Team Skull."

"No" The officer replied "Just giving you a warning to never mess with Team Skull at their town, those that do usually never leave alive."

The group now entered Po Town and it was a sorry state to behold. Apparently Team Skull didn't know or have much care for the buildings as most buildings were abandoned. Add that to the rain which kept falling down it wasn't a sight to behold. The place really looked creepy. Once in however they saw a barricade with Gladion and Plumeria waiting for them as well as perhaps fifty Team Skull Grunts all armed with Duel Disks.

"We were expecting you lot" Plumeria told them.

"You messed with the wrong people!" Yuya told her "Your boss kidnapped Yuzu!"

Plumeria nodded "That's right, he did...But no worries, he plans to return Yuzu alive if she does a good job working for him to help find what he wants."

Gladion was silent bringing a hand to his head and Joey eyes him "Aren't you going to say something?"

"Like how much of an idiot you are?" Gladion shot back "Seriously, you all shouldn't have came to Po Town."

"Well we ain't backing down till we save Yuzu!" Erin said.

"So be it" Plumeria said "Grunts...Try to do your best but leave Erin to me...Gladion you take one on too."

"Sure!" Gladion said "It'll be a tag team Duel."

Alexis wanted a rematch with Gladion feeling quite bad that she had been beaten "Erin, would you mind if I dueled alongside you?"

Erin smiles "Sure thing Alexis!"

Gladion looks at Alexis "So, you're dueling me as well again even though I've beaten you before?"

Alexis eyes him "I have made a vow to help Erin out. You should've taken me as well as Yuzu. To rescue Yuzu, I'll go too."

All of the Grunts all take a step forward, some facing Joey, some facing Blair, three pairs of Grunts to duel Phineas and Ferb, and the rest...Some of them were facing Yuya, and the rest...Were about to get a painful lesson on choosing your opponent carefully as they had to face off against Pegasus himself whom taunted the Grunts "You all want to Duel me? My dueling talent is wasted on duelist like you but oh well come at me!"

Alexis and Erin strolled up activated their Duel Disks with Gladion along with Plumeria doing the same with their own. Each of the four duelist drew their first five cards shouting "DUEL!"

Alexis and Erin's LP: 8000

Gladion and Plumeria's Life Points: 8000

"I'll start us off" Plumeria suggested.

"Fine by us" Alexis told her.

"It's my move" Plumeria announced she checked her hand "First, I activate Continuous Spell Card Burden of the Mighty! Now all of your Monsters lose one hundred attack points per level.

"Next" Plumeria announced "I'll set one Monster face-down and end my turn!"

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

She drew her card "And I'll activate Spell Card: Polymerization! I'll use it to fuse Etiole Cyber and Blade Skater in order to Fusion Summon, Cyber Blader!"

Alexis's Cyber Blader appeared on the field. ATK: 2100

However thanks to Burden of the Mighty, it lost six hundred of it's attack points. ATK: 1500

"Battle!" Alexis announced "Cyber Blader attack Plumeria's face-down Monster with Blade-Skate Slash!"

Alexis's Fusion Monster heard her and obeyed striking Plumeria's Monster which was as she spoke "Giant Germ!"

Alexis frowns knowing what was next as the Giant Germ was shattered.

Plumeria smiles "Now you lose five hundred Life Points and I get to Special Summon up to two more of them in attack mode!"

Alexis watches her her Life Points took a hit.

Alexis and Erin's Life Points: 7500

Then two more Giant Germ appeared on the field ATK: 1000 (X2)

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

He drew his card "First of all, I'll set one Monster face down in defense mode then switch the two Giant Germ into defense mode!"

Gladion set one Monster in defense mode and switched the Giant Germ into defense mode DEF: 100

Gladion then looked at the girls "With that I end my turn"

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

Erin drew her card and smiled "I activate Field Spell Card: Molten Destruction! It gives all Fire Attribute Monsters five hundred more attack points!"

The field turned into a volcano and Erin spoke "Now I'll summon my Cyber Phoenix in attack mode!"

Cyber Phoenix appeared on the field and thanks to Molten Destruction it's attack points were ATK: 1700

Burden of the Mighty however weakened it a bit ATK: 1700-1300

"Battle!" Erin announced "Cyber Phoenix shall attack your face down Monster!"

Cyber Phoenix attacked and Gladion's Monster was revealed to be "Nimble Momomogus!"

Alexis bit her lip not liking that.

Erin's attack was too much for Gladion's Monster and it was destroyed. Gladion then spoke "When a Nimble Momomogus is destroyed I gain one thousand more Life Points and like Giant Germ I get to Special Summon two more of them!"

Gladion and Plumeria's Life Points: 9000

Erin watches as Gladion special summoned two more of his Monsters

"I'll set one card face down" Erin replied "Turn end!"

"It's move!" Plumeria announced "I draw!"

Alexis then spoke an effect "Sense you have three or more monsters on the field my Cyber Blader's effect changes to be unaffected by Card Effects! Which means her attack points return to normal!"

Erin smiles hearing that effect as Cyber Blader's attack points were back to normal. 1500-2100

"That maybe true" Plumeria said "But now I offer up both of my remaining Giant Germ in order to Summon Cobra Dragon!"

The two Giant Germ of Plumeria's vanished in in their place was a huge giant dragon with the hood of of the cobra snake. ATK: 3000

Erin was ready for it "I activate my Trap Card: Bottomless Trap Hole! This card destroys your Monster and removes it from play!"

Erin's Trap Card activated but Plumeria is ready "By discarding one Card from my hand to the Graveyard, Cobra Dragon can't be destroyed by Battle or Card Effect. Also when Cobra Dragon is Normal or Special Summoned it switches into defense mode!"

Cobra Dragon switched into defense mode DEF: 2000

"That doesn't seem so bad" Erin told her.

"Then perhaps I should make you fear it" Plumeria said "Now we can enter my Battle Phase!
Erin growls "You have no Monsters in attack mode!"

"I don't need to" Plumeria said "You see Cobra Dragon while in defense mode can attack and like a certain "Elemental Hero" by halving it's attack points it can attack directly!"

Alexis knew the Elemental Hero Monster Plumeria was talking about, Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster.

Erin heard this knowing this was bad as Plumeria spoke "Which now Cobra Dragon, attack Erin directly with Venomous Bite!"

After halving it's attack stat, 3000-1500, Cobra Dragon hisses like a cobra then lashes out biting Erin in her neck causing her and Alexis's Life Points to fall.

Plumeria watches as Erin actually felt the venomous fangs inject Venom into her and caused her to fall onto her knees.

Alexis and Erin's Life Points: 6000

"Erin!" Alexis shouted she looks at Plumeria "What did you just do to her?"

"This Duel is real battle damage" Gladion answered "Erin just took an actual venomous bite.

"The venom Cobra Dragon inflicts due to a direct attack take direct effect" Plumeria explained "The Venom will kill Erin if you don't win this duel."

Blair overheard this "Erin!"

"This venom will get out of me if I win this duel?" Erin asked.

Plumeria nods "Indeed, but it's not like you will win with Alexis's help."

"I must" Erin muttered getting onto her feet.

"Turn end then" Plumeria told her.

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

She drew her card "This is for you Erin, I activate the Equip Spell Card: Fusion Weapon! And I'll equip it to Cyber Blader giving her fifteen hundred more attack points!"

A gun like weapon appeared in Cyber Blader's hands increasing her attack points by fifteen hundred. 2100-3600

Alexis then spoke "Next I activate Quick-Play Spell Card, Warrior's Oath!"

A Spell Card appeared and Alexis spoke it's effect "Until the end of the turn, with one attack during my Battle Phase my Monster can destroy all Monster Cards on your side of the field inflecting piercing damage on the Monster I attacked."

"Battle!" Alexis announced "Cyber Blader, attack Venom Dragon!"

Cyber Blader took aim and fired and Plumeria spoke "I activate Cobra Dragon's ability by discarding one card from my hand to the Graveyard she can't be destroyed by battle or card effect once per turn! So Cobra Dragon, use your Shed Skin ability!" Plumeria discarded the last card in her hand.

Alexis nodded "True, but you forget my Monster inflicts Piercing damage plus destroys all other Monsters on your side of the field!"

Plumeria watches as Alexis's Monster's attack hit the field destroying all of Gladion and Plumeria's Monsters except for Cobra Dragon.

Plumeria was struck by the recoil and since it was real life Battle damage she kneels too weakened.

Gladion and Plumeria's Life Points: 7400

"Nice one!" Erin announced weakly.

"We'll win this" Alexis promised she then eyes Plumeria and Gladion "I'll set Cyber Phoenix in defense mode. Since you are now down to one Monster my Cyber Blader's effect is she can't be destroyed by Battle once per turn. But it does make her take effect of your Burden of the Mighty."

Cyber Blader's attack lowered a bit 3600-3000 while Cyber Phoenix went into defense mode but due to Molten Destruction had it's defense points lowered by four hundred DEF: 1300

"Turn end" Alexis said.

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

He drew "For my next move, I activate Spell Card: Fallen Creatures!"

Gladion explained "Now by removing from play up to three monsters in my Graveyard, I can draw up to four more cards and I only get to keep them if they are Monsters. If they are anything else, I have to immediately discard them to the Graveyard. So, I'll remove Plumeria's Giant Germs all three of them!"

Plumeria lets him and he drew four cards and they were all Monsters and he smirked looking at Erin "It's been nice knowing you Alexis."

"Why is that?" Alexis asked.

Gladion held up two cards "Because, I'm about to show you this."

Erin saw the cards which were green and yellow which meant Pendulum Monster!

Gladion then spoke "I'll set the Pendulum Scale using Zany Zebra and Dragonpulse Magician!"

Gladion placed Zany Zebra in one Pendulum Card slot and Dragonpulse Magician in the other setting the scale and Gladion spoke "I now set the Pendulum Scale of two to six! Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Summon! Appear now! My monsters! Elephun Tuner Monster, two Photon Saber Tigers, and Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts!"

Elephun appears along with two Photon Saber Tiger and Gazelle the King of Mythical Beast.

ATK: 500, 2000 (X2), and 1500

"Next" Gladion spoke "I activate spell Card: Polymerization to fuse Gazelle the King of Mythical Beast with Berefemet!"

The two selected Monsters began to Fuse themselves together and Gladion chants out "Flying rular of the skies, roar down from the heavens and swoop down pouncing on your prey...Fusion Summon...Level 6, Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast!"

Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast appeared on the field ATK: 2100

"That's not all" Gladion promised his foes "I'm going to tune my Level two Elephun Tuner Monster with both of my Photon Saber Tigers!"

"Level 10 Synchro?" Alexis asked.

"You bet!" Gladion told her.

Elephun burst into two rings and it scanned both level four Photon Saber Tigers as he chanted out a second chant "Guardian of the Trees appear with your mighty roar to pulverize the enemy with your overpowering might...Synchro Summon Level 10, Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree!"

Leo, the Keeper of the Sacred Tree appears on the field ATK: 3100

"Next" Gladion said "I'll activate Field Spell Card: Closed Forest it gives all of my monsters one hundred attack points for each Beast Type Monster my Graveyard!"

On Plumeria and Gladion's side of the field, there was their own Field Spell Card.

Alexis looked worried "There can be two Field Spell Cards out now?"

Pegasus nodded "Sadly so..."

Alexis mentally counted Gladion's Monsters three Nimble Momogas, Gazelle the King of Mythical Beast, Two Photon Saber Tigers, and Elephun that was a grand total of seven! She watches as all of Gladion's Beast Type Monsters gained seven hundred attack points. 2100-2800, 3100-3800

Joey was at a lost to what had just happened as he spoke to Yuya "I thought you were the only one that could Pendulum Summon!"

Yuya gritted his teeth hating to admit that it did look bad "Someone must've been watching my duels or recording them...Because until now I was the only one that could Pendulum Summon...And boy he managed to summon some powerful monsters! Plus they have to deal with Cobra Dragon...Let's not forget that Plumeria on her turns can access the Pendulum Summoning too! Now that he's set it up!"

"Great..."

Phineas and his brother were dueling their second pair of Team Skull Grunts "We gotta hope the girls can pull this off!"

"He's right" Blair said "Erin and Alexis will think of something!"

"Let's hope so" Joey admitted looking at the Monsters Gladion and Plumeria just summoned "Because they are in trouble, plus Erin"

He saw Erin gasping for breathe "Was bitten and the only way to save her is if they win."

"For Yuzu" Erin told her friends "Alexis and I will endure anything."

Alexis agreed knowing that it would be her turn to feel Cobra Dragon's fangs and would if she and Erin lost die too. They had to figure something out and fast. She wasn't worried as she knew that nothing was settled.

In the mansion Guzma was watching as Yuzu found something interesting and she turned "Mr. Guzma...I found something from Demonica...She works for MFWD...She's sending you a message."

Guzma turned towards her "Go on and put her on screen."

Yuzu had a feeling what this was about but reluctantly obeys him not wanting Glisopod to kill her and Guzma now stares at the Succubus Demonica whom eyes him "Guzma I presume...I hear you are looking for a certain Earthbound Immortal and I bring you an offer."

Guzma watches nodding while wanting to hear more "Go on..."

Demonica smiled evilly eying Yuzu's image from the screen "A bit skinny but you'll do fine."

Yuzu sighs knowing her fate was sealed if Guzma heard what was on the screen but she doesn't exit out of it knowing she was dead ether way. She had to hope Guzma wouldn't turn her over. While this was happening Guzma failed to realize a Kaiba Corp Probe had found the room and was beaming the message back to Kaiba Corp where Kaiba and Tatsuya were now listening into what would happen to Yuzu. Kaiba had heard from Yugi about Demonica's eating human girl habits and wanted to know if Yuzu was on Demonica's menu. Kaiba looks at Tatsuya "Let's listen into see if this Guzma is going to turn your girlfriend over to Demonica...And where..."

Tatsuya turned to Kaiba as if asking why they were waiting.

Kaiba answered his unasked question with a smile on his face "Slow and steady sometimes win the race Tatsuya, your friends are trying to save her but from what our probe has seen from that Duel they won't make it in time to save her from the mansion, Guzma would be off if he decides to hold Yuzu over...So we'll wait to see where they'd be meeting at then...We'll drop in...Demonica at this time maybe too much for you but I'll handle her. You can then rescue your damsel in distress and trust me...You should ask her out once we've rescued her. She owes you one date at least for saving her."

Tatsuya now understood Kaiba's plan and nodded waiting to board the plane to save Yuzu thinking At least Erin is trying to save her...

Too be Continued

I know this was supposed to be Tatsuya and Erin dueling Plumeria and Gladion, but I decided that it should be Alexis that is Erin's partner in this Tag Duel, why, well Alexis needs some time to shine and she was beaten by Gladion in the previous chapter so she wants a bit of payback. Besides she feels a bit guilty for Team Skull not taking her as well for losing since they took Yuzu for the same reason. Anyway next chapter is Chapter 34: Team Skull P2: Gladion and Plumeria continue their Duel can Erin and Alexis overcome the dangerous threats that Gladion and Plumeria has. Guzma agrees to give Yuzu to Demonica in exchange for the Earthbound Immortal Uru.

Ultimately, the last Duel is going to be Guzma vs. Tatsuya as I'm actually pairing him up with Yuzu, sorry Yuya/Yuzu fans she's just a cute girl in my eyes just looking at her.
