Chapter 2
Mistress Nikki Revealed
6:59pm – outside the new Card shop, Téa now looking like the real Dark Magician Girl and the others were waiting for the shop to open as they all stood and saw all the children dressed in their Halloween costumes as some looked like the Blue Eyes White Dragon while others were dressed as zombies and other monsters just then Joey along with his sister Serenity arrived as the Gilford the lightning and Serenity dressed as Leopard Girl. Just then Tristan appeared and joined Yugi, Téa, Joey and Serenity waiting for the ohters to turn up when Mai dressed in a Harpy Lady costume appeared with a large bag over her shoulder When Ishizu, Vivian and Rebecca appeared all dressed in different costumes and joined them, when all of a sudden the large double doors opened as smoke poured out while a strong manly voice said through the speakers,
"Will VIP's have their cards ready to enter if you dare" said the Voice as Tristan and Joey being all gentleman like allowed the girls to go first down a narrow fenced path where they came to the door was a huge man who easily stood in at well over 7 feet tall said,
"Welcome chosen duelists to Mistress Nikki's Card Shop where you meet her in person please swipe your cards through the scanner and proceed to the dark side.
When the girls had swiped their cards through the slot on the wall, the boys quickly followed behind them. When everone who had been invited was in the main shop floor, the doors quickly slammed shut turning the lights off making the crowd stricen with panic. A few minutes later two spotlights turned themselves on and focused on a platform that was situated between two sets of stairways one leading to the upper right and the other going to the Left. Just then the platform churned into life as slowly but surely Mistress Nikki the owner of the store appeared dressed in a very tight black leather corset revealing most of her cleavage when she slowly walked down the felt lined stairs in her Red Thigh high boots and matching opera length leather gloves. While walking down the felt lined stairs everyone looked at Mistress Nikki while her face was concealed behind a full golden mask with silver swirls down the right side of it. While walking down the stairs all the boys who were in the store drooled over her as Mai turned to Joey and said,
"Down Joey" she said jokingly with Serenity and the others laughing as Joey hated to be reminded of the time he lost to duke and had to wear a doggy suit.
Just then Mistress Nikki turned to Yugi and his friends as she turned with a sinister look in her eye before she addressed the crowd when all the lights came on and said from behind her mask,
"Welcome everyone to the grand opening of my Game Boutique store where tonight you all will receive 50 packs of my newest creation of 'Dungeon Duel Monsters' cards that hold 10 cards in each pack.
"Dungeon Duel Monsters?" said the crowd confusingly while Mistress Nikki's assistants dressed in their Mardi Gras outfits stood at either side of her as the duelists talked between themselves.
"Tonight will begin a new age in dueling as you have never seen before… Now enjoy the Masquerade" finished Nikki from behind her mask as she threw a small capsule down on the podium. Just then it exploded creating a large white smokescreen filled the stage magically disappeared leaving only her two assistants standing while numerous costumed girls began to hand out large boxes of cards to everyone in attendance.
Just then Mia who was dressed in a shadow Tamer costume said,
"Yugi Moto and his friends my mistress will see you now" she said as they took the upper right staircase and through the door.
While Mia was leading Yugi and the gang through to see Mistress Nikki she said,
"Your costumes are great now please enter the room as my Mistress awaits you" just as the door opened and there sitting in her large leather chair was Nikki. When Nikki stood up she said
"Welcome Yugi and his friends, now I hope that you are enjoying yourselves and I have to say that your costumes are brilliant, but do you know why you were all invited?" she said from behind her mask while standing in front of them in her high heel boots.
"We don't Nikki but I have to say welcome to Domino City and I live with my grandpa in the Kame Game Shop and was wondering, Why did you decide to open a new card shop here?" replied Yugi.
"That's an easy question Yugi Motou, and the answer is that I wanted to reveal my new expansion to Pegasus' Duel Monsters games by bringing in new concepts and new powerful monsters and cards to help level the playing field between male and female duelists" replied Nikki.
Just then Mai said,
"So you think that I'm not good enough as I came third at Duelist Kingdom and was a Battle City finalist" she said as she stood dressed as a Harpy Lady.
Just then Serenity tried to calm Mai down as Ishizu said
"Nikki may I ask, Why do you wear a mask?"
"That's a good question Ishizu Ishtar but to answer that I will need to show you" replied Nikki as she removed her mask from her face.
Just then everyone went silent as they saw the nasty burn that covered 90 per cent of her face as she placed the mask back onto her face. After Nikki had placed her mask back onto her face she said
"This happened when I was a little girl as I reached up onto the unit and to help my mother but slipped and grabbed a pot of boiling water that splashed all of my face as I lost 20% vision in both eyes and doctors tried everything to save my sight and youthful looks but was unable to save my once smooth face as they had no choice to place a mask over my face but when they shown me the mask I refused to put it on but after sometime alone in my bedroom I knew I would one day put it on and face the world and so I placed the mask you see onto my face and faced the world for the first time with a golden face" she explained.
"But that's enough of me now onto my new Dungeon Duel Monsters" as she clicked her fingers as two of her assistants dressed as the Gemini Elf's handed Yugi and the others a box of cards each holding 50 packs.
Just then large screens turned them on and on the screen appeared Nikki's masked face appeared as she said
"Now Ladies and Gentleman you may now open your new cards and then make your way to the state of the art dueling arena where I will be demonstrating Dungeon Duel Monsters" she said as three large double doors opened as everyone made their way through to the duel arena.
Just then Téa in her full Dark Magician Girl costume was sitting with Serenity and Mai down one side of a large meeting room like table while Rebecca was sitting the other side of the large table with Ishizu and Vivian as they carefully opened all the packs and creating new decks but then Mai turned to Téa and said
"I wonder who she will duel first?" she said.
"I guess it would be Yugi as he is the King of games after all" replied Tea from behind her mask.
Just then Nikki turned to Yugi and said,
"I'll not be using my own personal deck but a makeshift deck but you can use the new cards or your own Battle City winning deck" she said as she led the way to the dueling arena.
"That's not a problem Nikki but I hope you don't hold anything back from me" replied Yugi as they walked up to a large room that looked very similar to Pegasus' castle but it was all lit up while they had shop duel disks already ready as the gang stood on the balcony overlooking the dueling arena.
A few minutes later Nikki and Yugi watched as everyone was taking their seats waiting for the duel to start as four of Nikki's assistants appeared and placed headsets on both Yugi and Nikki as they loaded their decks into the custom duel disks as their decks where auto shuffled as they began the duel with both players life point counters reach 4000 life points as the scoreboard was set and the duel began with both players shouting,
"LET'S DUEL!"
Life Points
Yugi Motou: 4000
Nikki: 4000
Just then Téa decided to remove her Dark Magician Girl mask so that she could watch the duel when Nikki and Yugi drew their first hands and the duel was underway with Nikki starting the duel.
