-chapter 10 - Mayu VS Weevil - Part 1
As the sun shone over the streets of Yokohama the tournament was in full swing, as the young duelist Mayu looked over and sized up the competition. She walked along the sidewalk looking for a reasonably challenging opponent but most seemed to be amateurish and hardly worth her time. It was then when she heard somebody call her name err rather two somebodies. ''Yo little missy Mayu! It's us Rina and Haruka!''
The two managed to cross the street and ran up to her still wearing their school sailor style uniform consisting of a black top with a white and small red ribbon, a basic looking black skirt and shiny brown penny loafer shoes. The tallest girl standing a few inches over the other had glasses, honey blonde hair, freckles with a set of green eyes. The other girl had short cut jet black hair with a tomboy look to her. On her chin was a small band-aid. Her hazel-brown eyes looked over her companion a bit.
The tomboyish girl called out to her shorter friend. "We figured we'd tag alongside you y'know for morale support and stuff.''
The meganeko rubbed her temple feeling a headache coming on. Rina wasn't wasn't known much for using any fancy things in her vocabulary. ''And stuff? Wonder how many of yer brain cells ya burned through to think that one up?''
Swiftly taking offense to Haruka's little spiel she spat back. "Ahh sorry Haruka but I ain't no brainiac like you! C'mon we gotta support our galpal here in this tourni. Now what fool should you take out first eh?''
''Presumptively one whose skill level is on equal terms to hers. Could be. Might be.'' The bespectacled tall girl suggested... as Mayu thought it over it seemed a good place to start.
''Do ya have to talk so smart all the time huh? Can't ya stop for two minutes?'' Rina grumpily asked her tallest friend. She could be such a know-it-all sometimes and come across as a genius snob.
Suddenly the trio's little reunion was broken as some boy their age ran by them and swiped Mayu'S Dolphin Duel Disc and her deck with it too. The thief ran around the street corner as the three schoolgirls gave chase after him. Rina was furious and cursed out every other word. ''You punk! GET BACK HERE! YA DAMNED THIEF!''
''Ladies just blindly chasing a thief is not a very wise choice of action. He could be some lookout for blackmarket criminals! Come back here you two I'm serious!'' Haruka yelled trying to be the voice of reasoning of the trio.
Mayu however wanted her deck back no thief was going to ruin her time in the dueling sun... finally the three caught up to him near the food court and someone else was waiting for them all... The Insect Duelist: Weevil Underwood in his green shorts and shirt. His gold glasses had a bladed crest on the nose bridge like a beetle horn. The little punk apparently didn't grow much since Duelist Kingdom since he was only eight inches taller than Haruka. ''Hmm it seems I've attracted a few butterflies with my flower nectar. Hehehehehe.'' The bug user snickered like a cackling witch. ''So you're the new dueling kid on the block eh?
''Weevil Underwood huh I didn't recognize you without a stinkbug splattered all over yer nose. I thought the commission kicked you out?'' Rina sassed him.
''Probation. And I've gotten a new fanclub too.'' Weevil said snickering still referring to his hired thief. Rina however slugged Weevil's grub grunt in the gut and swiped back her friend's Duel Disc.
Haruka then turned on her heel ready for her and her friends to go back the way they came. She'd heard how much of a lying and cheating pillbug Weevil was and didn't want Mayu dueling with such a dirty player. ''Can you believe that? They clearly haven't a shred of intelligence. They know darn well what tricks this evil slug likes to pull. Mayu your best bet is ignore this grub. There're plenty more honorable players to duel than him. Let's go.''
Just as they were about to move Rina thought of something and took out Mayu's deck searching through it looking for something. She had a hunch of something was amiss in there. Watching them was Weevil sweating up a storm. How could the brat have figured out his trick? ''Hey waita minute I saw this before lemme check out that deck.'' Rina said as she finally found what she thought didn't belong. ''Here it is Parasite Paracide.''
The said card was a two star, Insect type, Earth attribute, with 500 attack power and 300 defense. It resembled a green bug-like thing with red tentacles sprouting from its body shell. It was nasty looking. Mayu reeled at seeing it. "Gross! I never put that card in there! How'd it... Oh you gotta be kidding me!''
"Exactly Mayu it was that roach Weevil! I knew it! I bet he hired that boy to steal yer deck and put that nasty Parasite card in it... isn't that right Weevil?'' Haruka questioned knowing full well that was his grand dirty stunt. Weevil just grumbled something neither the girls or his flunkie could hear. Rina threw his Parsasite card back to him as he shuffled it back into his deck.
''Alright Weevil you wanna duel me? Ya wanna piece of me hmm?! Well fine let's go do it then!'' Mayu snarled out and it was clear to anyone she was ticked off now.

"LET'S DUEL!'' The two yell out as they pressed a button on the duel disc called "Dolphin" as the long side edges sped into a long holder for traps, spells alias magic cards plus monsters.
A set of four micro-sized hologram projectors ejected from the sides of each duel disc and settled on each side of the two practicing duelists as they started up. The two players then drew five cards each from the start. Mayu decided to go first since she was younger and the fact she was a girl. ''I'll go first Weevil since I'm younger and because I'm a lady!''
"Whatever draw whatever pansy cards you have in that girly deck of yers." Weevil sassed to the rookie duelist girl as he drew.
The grade school girl knew she was in for a long tough match. Weevil maybe a lying cheat but had mad skills to back up his bragging. She hoped she could hope to stop his hordes of beastly bugs. Mayu looked over the cards she drew... she had Familiar-Possessed - Hiita, her two Amazoness Paladins, the grass field Spell card Sogen, and her powerful eight star Spellcaster Cosmo Queen. She'd found it in a random pack a month back unhappily she couldn't summon the C. Queen without tributing two monsters. But she figured it would be useful later. "I play the Magic card Sogen changing our battlefield to a grass field. I lay two cards facedown one in attack the other in defense and I summon this! My Amazoness Paladin!''
The monster Mayu played resembled a spiky banged blonde woman in beige warrior garb armed with a large sword. Normally this four star was only 1700 in power but with the Sogen her power was boosted up to 1900. For now Mayu waited since a monster couldn't attack the turn it was summoned.
The insect duelist figured this brat had a few tricks up her preteen sleeve. "Impressive kiddy but get a load of this. I'll lay down two cards in defense mode and just for you I've a nasty little combo to play too brat... and it goes like this. Cost Down! Then play Saber Beetle after it! Then discard one.''
Weevil then discarded his Cockroach Knight card but again the insect user was very much prepared. Cockroach Knight had the effect that if it was sent to the Graveyard it was placed on top of the deck. He then summoned up Saber Beetle which resembled a large brown Hercules Beetle. Its power was 2400... a 500 point difference. Luckily Weevil couldn't sick his beetle after her because he like her had to wait a turn to attack.
''You and yer bugs! Yer gross! Mayu you can beat this bugly punk I know you can!'' The tomboy Rina cheered her schoolmate on.
''Yeah but you realize statistically Mayu is at a very high disadvantage Weevil has way more prevalent experience than she does.'' Haruka said offering her smart talk.
Mayu however would hear none of it. She had to nail down and disrupt Weevil's eventual strategy before he implemented it. ''Oh way to help Haruka! Let's see my move to draw now. I draw... (draws) Hah! I reveal my face down! My other Amazoness Paladin! To power her up I play this which I just drew!''
Mayu showed Weevil the card... Fusion Sword Murasame Blade! It was a magic card that increased power by 800! "I'm using it on my second Paladin. Now she'll be at a power level of 2500!'' She then played the card as the weapon appeared in the blonde warrior lass hand's increasing her strength to the said level. "And I change my Amazoness Paladin to defense mode."
The weaker Paladin then knelt down in defense while Weevil was seething by now. ''Fusion Sword Murasame Blade?! What's a willowy girl like you have a card like that for!?" Weevil stammered out in shock. He clearly wasn't expecting her to use such a 'manly' styled card.
Drawing his Cockroach Knight again Weevil was ready to go on the warpath. ''No matter I'll take out yer she-warrior! Saber Beetle attack!'' Weevil hollered out as his horned bug's horn glowed white as zoomed right for Mayu's 1900 Amazoness Paladin.
Mayu's female Paladin was impaled then shattered into bits like glass by Saber Beetle's horn. The insect returned to its master's field side. "HUH? My lifepoints!'' Mayu's 8000 lifepoints then was quickly changed to 5900.
''Ok did I forget to mention Saber Beetle's effect? I didn't? Shame on me... Here's what happened: During battle between Saber Beetle and a Defense Position monster whose defense is lower than the attack of this card, inflict the difference as damage to your opponent. Heheheheheh... '' Weevil snickered. He was loving this duel. It was just an excuse for him to use all kinds of bug based combos on the rookie girl.
Mayu drew her next card... it was one of her Goddess of Whims. ''Yeah its real great. I reveal my other face down! Familiar-Possessed - Hiita in attack mode! But I also play Goddess of Whim. She has a very interesting effect.''
Goddess of Whim resembled a woman in a green robe-like toga with leaves for hair. Her strength was only 950. So how was she supposed to take any of his insect horde down? ''What's that? What's she do?'' Weevil questioned. He'd never seen this rare card before.
Haruka was happy to enlighten him however. ''Her effect is this, once per turn: You can toss a coin and call heads or tails. If you call it right, double this card's attack during this turn. If you call it wrong, its halved.''
"I call heads.'' Mayu boldly stated. Weevil however watched closely. If she was relying on coin tosses she must be either confident, desperate or just plain stupid.
Getting out a suitable coin from her skirt pocket Rina tossed her coin and had it land on the back of her left hand and covered it with her right. She peeked at it. ''Missy Mayu this is your lucky day its heads! Heads all the way baby!''
''Which means my second Paladin can now squash yer bug! Say bye-bye beetle borg!'' Mayu called out as her Paladin leapt and sliced his beetle like mincemeat and it fell apart in chunks which again shattered like glass. "Now I end my turn.''
''No! My beetle! You'll pay for that!'' Weevil fumed out as his big bad beetle was stomped err rather sliced up by Amazoness blades. ''I've no big monsters to attack with... but I'm not done yet. Reveal face down! Swarm of Scarabs!''
Weevil revealed his card which showed a bunch of brown beetles swarming in an airvent. It was only 500 attack and 1000 defense so what was the bug boy up to with it? "Allow me to introduce you ladies to my Swarm of Scarabs card.'' The Swarm of Scarabs were then able to activate their effect. For when the card's flip summoned Weevil could destroy one monster Mayu controlled. "You took my beetle so I'll take out yer goddess!''
Though her life points were safe for the moment Mayu's Goddess of Whim monster was immediately destroyed and now she wanted revenge. She drew and decided to go on the warpath. ''Amazoness Paladin wipe out his other face down!''
The skimpily dressed Amazon slashed his face down in half revealing it was unsurprisingly another insect type. This one looked like some small blue cricket with tattered wings. "Step into my parlor said the spider to the fly. You've fallen prey to my web Mayu... ''
"Whaddya mean? I took out yer cricket!'' Mayu argued. Just what was this maggot up to she wondered. Whatever it was likely had to do with his foiled Parasite act from earlier.
''Yeah she took it out!'' Rina parroted and then got a slap upside the head from Haruka to basically be quiet. 'Watch out he's upping the insect ante.''
Weevil grinned like the mad bugly man he was as he knew just how to respond to the girls. "Because of my Howling Insect's effect when its destroyed I can Special Summon one Insect-Type monster with 1500 or less attack from my deck. And I choose Parasite Paracide!''
Weevil's duel disc automatically searched for the card and then quickly produced it into Weevil's eager mitts. He then threw the card to her for shuffling into her deck. ''Here a gift from me to you. That shows I'm generous. I'll return Swarm of Scarabs to face down mode and play the card I drew. Neo Bug arise!''
Weevil then activated his Neo Bug. It was level four, earth attribute, and finally rounding out its stats was the 1800 attack with a solid 1700 defense. It looked like an exterminator's worst nightmare since its appearance was like a cobra crossed with a beetle then with a mantis to the girls. Its sharpened mandibles were razor sharp, its slender green body ended with another set of bladed claws. Its head was almost cobra-like with evil red eyes. It roared out that it was ready to fight. "Give in to the swarm! My insect deck will eat you up then spit you out for lunch! There's no way you can beat an expert like myself!''
"What've I gotten myself into? No I can't give up. I'm no quitter and I can be tough when I need to be. But Weevil's been at this a lot longer than I have... '' Mayu thought silently. His bugs were vile and ugly but very effective at strategy.
Haruka saw her friend's insecurity. "Don't listen to him Mayu you can win... the odds aren't in your favor but there's still a chance. Like Yugi Motou always says "Believe in the heart of the cards''.''
''Yeah! You can squash this slug! Get ready to eat salt Weevil!'' Rina sassed out as now a bit of a crowd had developed to see just which duelist would win this battle. Would it be the veteran player and insect master Weevil Underwood? Or this newcomer and rookie schoolgirl Mayu?
The Tournament has just begun and many more duels will arise as players struggle for dominance in the chaotic game of Duel Monsters!

Readers we've finally reached the chapter end... How is the story? Next Mayu and Weevil's duel intensifies as they bring out even more powerful combos and monsters. Does Mayu have what it takes to beat him? Find out next time in Duels and Vectors! Rest assured the next major duel after this involves Mako VS Kohta I hope I can pull it off. Also what do you think of Mayu's school friends? I put them in here simply because her classmates much less teachers are never mentioned. Of course I realize that wasn't exactly the point of Elfen Lied. But friendship is a major theme in Yu-Gi-Oh! so I figured why not? Besides they'll provide more moral support as Mayu continues to duel more players.
