Chapter 3- Fiends and Fairies

There was a collective cheer from the crowd. "Didn't think he'd pull THAT out!" "No kidding, who did?" "Not a one!"

"I did." Flynn said, walking up beside Keith and Drake. "Sorry for being a little rude earlier. I was slightly nervous."

"That's okay. That was great, though. Nice deck." Drake said.

"I've been using it for a while. I need to change it up a bit." Flynn admitted.

"Will Mr. Keith Natran please report to Duel Field Number 2?" came over the P.A.

"Well, here I go." Said Keith, and walked down the stairs that Flynn had come up.

"Good luck!" said Drake.

"Depending on the proctor, he'll need it." Said Flynn.

"How so?"

"I think that these proctors all have different skill levels. I must've played a pretty basic one, who doesn't know what Lord of Dragons does?" Flynn pointed out.

"Very few. It's seen a lot of use."

"And since they're going to change the proctor… it could be an entirely different scenario." As Flynn said this, the proctor he had dueled left the field to be replaced by a woman. She would have been good-looking if she didn't wear so much make-up and those high-heels.

"Who taught you fashion, lady?" called out Keith.

"Is that how you talk to your superiors, you twerp?" she said.

"No, it's just that sometimes, like my deck, I'm a bit nasty." Keith said, with an uncharacteristically evil smile. He activated his duel disk.

"Let's duel!" they both said.

Proctor: 4000 Keith: 4000

"Ladies first." Keith said.

"Fine!" the proctor drew a card. "I'll set one card face-down, then summon my "Spirit of the Harp" (Light/ Fairy, 800/2000) in defense mode! That's it."

"Okay…let's see." Keith drew his card. "I play… Mystical Space Typhoon!" The proctor's face-down card was blown away. "Now… I activate my Mystic Plasma Zone!" The field was instantly covered in a sort of purple-black fog. "Next, I summon La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp! (Dark/Fiend, 1800/1000) Vaporize that Spirit!" La Jinn blew a huge burst of fire at the Spirit and burned it away. "Then I'll set these two cards face-down. That's it."

"Good… good. But not good enough! I draw." The proctor drew her card. "I think I'll replace this hideous darkness with my Luminous Spark." The purple-black darkness with a bright flash. "Now that that is gone, I'll summon Asura Priest (Light/Fairy/Spirit, 1700/1200) and destroy that 'mystical genie.'" The Asura Priest threw a series of knives at La Jinn and destroyed him.

Proctor: 4000

Keith: 3600

"That will be all."

"Very well." Said Keith. The Asura Priest vanished from the field and returned to the proctor's hand. "It looks like you forgot that a spirit monster returns to its owner's hand when it is summoned! So…" Keith drew his card. "I'll summon another La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp and attack directly!"

Proctor: 2200

Keith: 3600

"I'll set another card and end my turn."

"Now… I play Shinato's Ark!" said the Proctor.

"Uh-oh." Said Flynn.

"I'm not familiar with that card. What's it do?" said Drake.

"Well, it's a Ritual Spell-"

"Oh, crap. That can't be good. All the Ritual monsters I've faced have been ridiculously powerful. Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Black Chaos…"

"Yes, but Shinato is stronger than both of those…"

"Whoa."

"In any case, I will send Asura Priest and Dancing Fairy to the graveyard to summon Shinato, King of a Higher Plane! (Light/Fairy/Ritual/Effect, 3300/3000)" said the Proctor. "Obliterate that Genie!" Shinato cast a huge spell that destroyed La Jinn and began to come at Keith. But before it could connect, a wall of brown fuzzballs with huge googly eyes appeared and blocked the shot. "What? You should be done!"

"Kuriboh!" Keith said. "I discarded Kuriboh to reduce damage from battle to zero!"

"Either way, Shinato's ability takes away life points equal to your monster's attack points!"

Proctor: 2200

Keith: 1800

"I activate Michizuri! When one monster on the field is destroyed, I can activate this card to destroy another one of my choice! Farewell, Shinato!" said Keith. Two huge hands appeared and crushed Shinato.

The proctor looked fazed. "I'm done…"

"Very well…" Keith drew his card. "I summon Giant Orc (Dark/Fiend, 2200/0)! FINISH THIS!"

Proctor: 0

Keith: 1800

"Game over." Said Keith, and walked away.
