Beast Boy: Mopzor une flooperborg.
Me: Uhm...what?
Robin: (trying to contain laughter) Raven replaced Beast Boy's English with Tamaranian.
Beast Boy: Zota clorbag!
Starfire: (gasp) Beast Boy! That was a horrible thing to say!
Me: What'd he say?
Starfire: (blushes) Well...roughly translated into English, he said "Fucking bitch!"
Raven:...Turn the camera off.
(screams are heard)
The boy grinned. "Heh. You lose," He declared.
Everyone gasped. Beast Boy, who was staring down a now 8000 ATK Point monster with no monsters of his own, was declaring his win? "Impossible. There's no way he can win," Cyborg said.
Robin shook his head. "I wouldn't be so sure. Beast Boy's always been known to take risks, but he also thinks outside the box enough to know when to take them," He mused.
Beast Boy held up a card. "Your Raviel is powerful, I'll give it that. But that, my dear girl, is also its greatest flaw right now. I play this! Misfortune!" He declared. He slid it into his Duel Disk, and suddenly Raviel began glowing.
Misfortune
Normal Spell
Select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half that monster's original ATK. Your monsters cannot attack this turn.
"What did you do?!" Raven yelled. Beast Boy smirked.
"Misfortune selects one monster on your side of the field, Raven. And then, it does damage to you equal to half of its original attack points!" He explained.
Raven's face drained of color as everyone else gasped. "If I am to do the math correctly, Raviel has 8000 ATK points. Divided by two, that would equal 4000. And if friend Raven only has 3200..." Starfire trailed off.
The light surrounding Raven's titanic monster lifted, shooting directly at the Azarathian. "NO! AGH!" She shouted as the light hit her.
Raven: 0 Beast Boy:100
"End game!" Beast Boy said as the holograms faded away. Raven looked at him, shocked.
"You were dead! How in Azar's name did you...?!" She spluttered in protest and disbelief. Beast Boy smiled proudly.
"Guess my deck just came through for me. Now, I think it's Robin and Star's turn to duel, don't you?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Robin nodded, still impressed and shocked by Beast Boy's quick adaptation and sudden upset. Sliding the Duel Disk onto his wrist, Robin activated it, with Starfire doing the same.
Robin: 8000 Starfire: 8000
The Life Point readouts flashed to life, and both players drew their hands. Starfire won the roll, so she drew her sixth card.
She frowned. Dark Magician, Magical Dimension, Old Vindictive Magician, Dark Magician of Chaos and Monster Reborn... "I place one monster facedown on the field and end my turn." She stated as the card appeared on the field.
Robin studied his hand, adding his newly drawn card to it. Hmm...Elemental Hero Stratos, Elemental Hero Burstinatrix, Elemental Hero Sparkman, Elemental Hero Clayman, and Polymerization? "Eh...I play Elemental Hero Stratos in Attack Mode!" He declared as a man clad in metal armor rose to the field. It had two wings that were powered by fans, and looked quite fit and trimmed.
Elemental Hero Stratos WIND
Level 4
Warrior
: When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can select and activate 1 of these effects:
● Destroy Spell or Trap Cards on the field up to the number of "Elemental Hero", "Destiny Hero" and "Evil Hero" monsters you control (not counting this card).
● Select and add 1 "Elemental Hero", "Destiny Hero" or "Evil Hero" monster from your Deck to your hand.
ATK/1800 DEF/300
"When I summon Stratos to the field, I get to add one of my other Elemental Hero monsters from my Deck to my hand. I'll take Elemental Hero Avian!" He showed the card to Starfire and added it to his hand.
"Now, Elemental Hero Stratos, attack! Wind Storm Gust!" The Boy Wonder ordered. His warrior rose to the air and used its wings to create a tornado that blasted its way through Starfire's monster card.
"I am sorry Robin, but you have ran into my trap. Old Vindictive Magician, go!" Starfire smiled as she watched her Magician blow the Hero to bits.
"Huh?" Robin scratched his head.
"Old Vindictive Magician has a Flip Effect, Robin. When it is flipped, I am allowed to destroy one monster on your side of the field. I believe the saying is 'an eye for an eye?'" Starfire explained.
Old Vindictive Magician DARK
Level 2
Spellcaster
FLIP: Destroy 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field.
ATK/450 DEF/600
Robin sighed. I could set my Polymerization and hope she falls for the bluff, but if I lay it on the field it'll be fair game for destruction! I'd best hold onto it for now... "I end my turn," Robin decided.
Starfire smiled as she drew a Dark Curtain. "I play the Spell Card Monster Reborn, into order to summon my Old Vindictive Magician back from the Graveyard!" She said.
Monster Reborn
Normal Spell
Select 1 monster from either you or your opponent's Graveyard. Special Summon the selected monster on your side of the field.
"That thing? It's weak! Even in Defense Mode, it's only got 600 points," Robin said with a laugh. Starfire smiled.
"I set one Spell/Trap card facedown and end my turn," She said calmly.
Robin sighed in relief. Good, she can't do anything either, He thought as he added his drawn Skyscraper to his hand. "I play Elemental Hero Sparkman in Attack Mode!" He said. A man wearing gold armor and blue tights with lightning bolts on them appeared, hands crackling with electricity.
Elemental Hero Sparkman LIGHT
Level 4
Warrior
ATK/1600 DEF/1400
"Attack with Static Shockwave!" Robin called. His warrior pointed a hand towards Starfire's magician and shot a massive lightning bolt at it. Robin shielded his eyes from the flashing light.
Robin smiled, then frowned. Something was sitting where the magician had been. It was a sarcophagus. "What is that?" Robin asked.
Starfire grinned. "That would be my Spell Card. I activate Magical Dimension! With this quickplay Spell, I can offer one of my face-up Spellcasters in order to summon another Spellcaster from my hand! I offer Old Vindictive Magician to summon Dark Magician of Chaos to the field in Attack Mode!" She said as she played the card. Her magician dissolved in a white light, and in its place rose a man with blue skin, wild long black hair, and a large staff. He wore a tight leather suit with belts and buckles all over.
Magical Dimension
Quickplay Spell
Activate only while there is a face-up Spellcaster-Type monster(s) on your side of the field. Tribute 1 monster and Special Summon 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand. Then you can destroy 1 monster on the field.

A monster that is destroyed by this monster as a result of battle is removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard. When this card is destroyed or removed from the field, it is removed from play.
ATK/2800 DEF/2600
"Now, I can either destroy your Sparkman with my Dimension card, or I can elect to use the effect of my Chaos Mage. I'll choose the latter, retrieving Monster Reborn from my Graveyard," Starfire declared as she added the card to her hand.
Robin's eyes widened. Then he frowned. Wait... I can take that thing down on my next turn. I just have to take whatever she throws at me until then, He grimaced. "I end my turn," He said.
Starfire frowned, drawing another Dark Magician. "I attack! Dark Magician of Chaos, attack with Chaos Spell!" She ordered. Her mage pointed its staff at Robin's monster and fired a black ray at it, blasting it to pieces as Robin's Life Points went down.
Robin:6800 Starfire:8000
"That will be all," Starfire said with a smile. Robin drew and grinned. Perfect! " I set one Spell or Trap facedown," He said as he placed a Mirror Force facedown. "Next, I play Polymerization!"
Polymerization
Normal Spell
Send Fusion Material Monsters that are listed by a Fusion Monster Card from your hand or your side of the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon the Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck.
"I fuse Elemental Heroes Burstinatrix and Avian from my hand to create Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" He declared. The two monsters appeared on the field briefly before merging. A man emerged with white wings and a red monster on its right arm.
Elemental Hero Flame Wingman WIND
Level 6
Warrior
"Elemental Hero Avian" + "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix"
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster.
ATK/2100 DEF/1200
"And now I play the Field Spell Card Skyscraper!" Robin added, sliding the card into the Disk's Field Card slot. Suddenly, an entire city shot up around the dueling field, much to everyone but Robin's surprise. Robin's Wingman perched atop the highest building.
Skyscraper
Field Spell
When an "Elemental Hero" monster attacks, if its ATK is lower than the ATK of the attack target, the attacking monster gains 1000 ATK during damage calculation only.
"Whoa. Nice hologram effects," Cyborg commented. Everyone else nodded in agreement.
"Now, my Hero attacks your Dark Magician of Chaos!" Robin declared as the man charged the mage.
Starfire laughed. "Robin, perhaps you have forgotten the rules of battle? The monster with the higher attack wins, friend," She explained. Robin smirked.
"Oh? Take a look," Robin said. As his Hero swooped down for his attack, his ATK shot up by 1000 (3100/1200). Starfire's eyes widened.
"How?" She cried as the Wingman punched the magician, sending it flying into a building and shattering him. She also noticed her Life Points reducing.
Robin: 6800 Starfire: 4900
"Er...I believe I have faulty equipment," Starfire said worriedly. "It says that I took 3100 damage instead of 300."
"Your Disk isn't defective, Star. When my Wingman destroys a monster, it does damage to you equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster," Robin explained. Starfire scowled, an expression Robin rarely saw.
"I place one monster face-down and end my turn," Robin said, placing the final card in his hand face-down. Starfire nodded. She drew, added a Waboku to her hand, and smiled. "Your city may aid you when you attack, but it does not aid you when I am attacking! I play Dark Magic Curtain!" She said as she slid the Spell into her disk.
Dark Magic Curtain
Normal Spell
If you activate this card, you cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon this turn. Pay half of your Life Points to Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from your Deck.
Robin: 6800 Starfire: 2450
A skeleton holding a curtain appeared. It pulled the curtain back to reveal the Dark Magician.
Dark Magician DARK
Level 7
Spellcaster
ATK/2500 DEF/2100
"Attack! Dark Magic Attack!" Starfire commanded. The newly summoned mage extended its staff, and the field flashed. However, the flash came back onto the Magician, obliterating it. "What?" Starfire cried.
"You activated Mirror Force, Star. When you attack, it destroys every Attack Mode monster on your side of the field," Robin explained. Starfire's jaw dropped.
"Fine. I set one face-down Spell or Trap and end," She said glumly. I can survive this turn thanks to Waboku, and on the next turn I can use my other Curtain to play my other Dark Magician! She thought excitedly. Robin drew and smirked.
"Time to help both of us. I play Card of Sanctity! Both of us draw until we hold 6 cards," Robin explained as he drew. Starfire did the same.
Elemental Hero Sparkman and Polymerization! Exactly what I need! Robin grinned. "I play Polymerization!" He said.
"Again?" Cyborg questioned from the sidelines. Robin laughed.
"Yes, again. This time, I'm fusing the Elemental Hero Sparkman in my hand with my Elemental Hero Flame Wingman to create Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman!" He slid the Polymerization into his disk and placed the two monsters in his Graveyard. The two monsters fused together on the field, transforming into a large, green-skinned man with an awesome set of silver armor on and wings.
Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman LIGHT
Level 8
Warrior
"Elemental Hero Flame Wingman" + "Elemental Hero Sparkman"
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. This card gains 300 ATK for each "Elemental Hero" card in your Graveyard. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster.
ATK/2500 DEF/2100
The monster's ATK instantly shot up. "Why is it's attack increasing?" Starfire questioned.
"For each Elemental Hero in my Graveyard, he gets 300 ATK points. I count 4, so his ATK skyrockets to 3700 (3700/2100). Now then, I attack! Strike with Flare Burst of Light!" The hero ran forward only to be blocked by three women in blue robes.
"I activate my Waboku card to protect me from Battle Damage this turn," Starfire explained.
Waboku
Normal Trap
You take no Battle Damage this turn. Your monsters cannot be destroyed as a result of battle this turn.
"Eh...Ok. I set one facedown Spell/Trap and end my turn," Robin set, setting a Hero Signal.
Starfire drew, analyzing her new hand. Dark Magician, Apprentice Mage, Magician's Valkyrie, Dust Tornado, Dark Magic Attack, Magician of Faith, Crystal Seer... I set a monster and a Spell/Trap and end my turn," She announced.
Robin smiled and drew. "Activate Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your Spell or Trap!"
Mystical Space Typhoon
Quickplay Spell
Destroy Spell or Trap card on the field.
Starfire's Dust Tornado flipped up and blew into pieces. "Now I play Nobleman of Crossout to end the game!" Robin slapped the card in.
Starfire's Magician of Faith was neutralized and Robin's monster attacked for the win.
Robin: 6800 Starfire: 0
"Nice match, Star," Robin gave her a high five. The he grinned deviously. "Alright, Cyborg needs a turn. Tag team? Cyborg and I versus...Starfire, you just played, so it'll be Beast Boy and Raven vs. me and Cyborg. Sound good?" He asked.
Beast Boy and Raven eyed each other and smirked. "You sure? You saw how strong both of us were earlier. Together, we'll kick your asses," Raven kept her smirk. Beast Boy stared at Raven. He had something like "Puh-lease, I'm not dueling with him," or "He'd just be in my way." But she had actually acknowledged, and even complimented, his skill!
"Let's get it on!" Cyborg shouted.
