Chapter 10
The Tag Duel Begins
The time was 23:30, and Yugi along with the rest of the gang were on the main road heading towards Kaiba Land when Mai turned to Serenity and said,
"We have to win this duel to free Ishizu and Téa from Nikki" she explained.
"I know Mai; whatever I can do to help get Téa and Ishizu back is to beat her. Besides you and me together we cannot lose" replied Serenity while Duke was driving.
15 minutes had past when Duke pulled up in the Kaiba Land parking lot. When everyone had looked at the clock, they saw that it was shining brightly saying 23:45, while the gang was getting out of the car.
Just then Joey and Mai helped Serenity out of the car while Yugi looked at the Blue Eyes White Dragon Statues that was Kaiba's trademark monster.
Just then Yugi walked up to the gates with the gang behind him while Serenity was now walking perfectly in her thigh high boots, when all of a sudden the gates opened.
When the gates opened Yugi, Joey and Duke slapped their duel disks on and activated them as Mai and Serenity were about to do the same, but then Joey turned to them and said,
"No, you must save your energy girls, or you won't last two minutes" he said when Mai and Serenity agreed with him.
While up in the control room, Nikki and Akiza were standing watching Yugi and the gang entered the theme park via the CCTV Camera's embedded on the Blue Eyes White Dragon statues. Just as Serenity and Mai had entered the park, Akiza used her physic abilities and slammed the gates shut behind them creeping Serenity out.
Just then Nikki said through the speakers,
"Welcome everybody to Kaiba Land, where we have your friend Ishizu so if you want to get her back then follow the arrows on the ground" she explained when golden arrows led the way while everyone walked into the building.
Meanwhile half way around the world the Kaiba brothers where flying home after checking on progress of his theme parks in south America before Mokuba said,
"Seto, there seems to be intruders at Kaiba Land and all the systems are down" he explained from the back seat of the Blue Eyes White Jet.
"Ok let's go and find out why" replied Kaiba who pushed the controls forward kicking the main thrusters into overdrive leaving long vapor trails in the night sky.
Meanwhile Yugi, Joey and Duke all had their duel disks activated ready for any sneak attacks until they walked into the dark building with creepy looking monster statues standing in the dark.
Just then all the lights began to flicker on and off as Nikki appeared in holographic form when everyone turned to face her.
"Welcome everyone to Kaiba Land and where we have Ishizu captive but if you want her and Téa back then remove your duel disk boys and leave them where you are standing or be ready to duel" she explained as three Duel Bots appeared all wearing a duel disk and ready to duel.
"Oh and Mai and Serenity there is someone waiting for you in the main dueling arena" continued Nikki while she faded.
Just then Joey turned to Mai and said,
"Look after Serenity for me, because she means the world to me now go and get Ishizu and Téa back while me, Yugi and Duke take care of these dueling tin cans" he shouted at her while looking at her and Serenity.
"Right, come on Serenity" replied Mai as they ran passed the duel bots and through the double doors.
When they opened and shut once they were off the sensors. When standing in the hallway, Mai and Serenity looked back through the glass doors but then turned to as they walked the large corridor following the arrows that were posted on the walls until they walked until they reached the main dueling arena floor.
When they had entered the arena, the doors where sealed off so that they couldn't escape. Just then the lights came on and standing in front of them where Mia and Téa when all of a sudden Mia said,
"Welcome ladies to this special Tag duel between the four of us. and to make things interesting we have someone who you might recognize" finished Téa in her Dark Magician girl voice when two spot lights turned to Ishizu who was hanging high above the dueling arena gagged by a large white cloth around her mouth that was tied around the back of her head.
"Let her go now" ordered Mai when Ishizu opened her eyes.
"You are in no position to be making demands but if you win, which you won't. We'll release her but if we win then you join us in Nikki's Army" explained Téa who sounded like Dark Magician Girl.
"Mmhhh. Unngghhhnnnn! Mmmm… Uhhhmmmm! Mmmmmnngggghhh" mumbled Ishizu leaving Mai and Serenity had no choice but to duel.
Just then everybody took their decks out of their deck holders and slapped them into the deck slots on their duel disks where they activated a second or two later when they lit up and life points where set to 4000 each while Serenity stood beside Mai and Téa beside Mia when all four girls shouted,
"LET'S DUEL!" where they drew their first hands of the game.
After each of the girls, had drawn their first hands Mai turned to Serenity and said,
"Are you ready Serenity, to take them on and win Téa and Ishizu's freedom?"
"Yep, let's do this" replied Serenity while looking across the dueling arena with determination in her eyes.
"Right I'll go first, and now I summon Amazoness Spear Defender in defense mode (ATK/1800 DEF/2000) and end my turn with two cards face-down" said Mia when the duel went over to Serenity for the first time.
After a few minutes, Serenity looked at the cards in her hand nervously until she turned to Mai, who said,
"Don't worry Serenity, I am here to support you and that is what I'm going to do so let's duel and save Ishizu and Téa" Mai said encouraging Serenity.
Just then Serenity drew a card from her deck and then looked at the field and said,
"Now I summon Cyber Harpie Lady in Attack Mode, (ATK/1800 DEF/1300) and place two cards face down and end my turn" she said in confidence.
Shortly after Serenity had made her first turn, the duel went to Téa who drew a card from her deck and said,
"Now I summon Melchid the Four-faced beast (ATK/1500 DEF/1200) in defense mode, and end my turn with these face-down" she said when she placed the two cards face down into her duel disk.
Shortly afterwards the duel went to Mai, when she turned to Serenity and thought to herself,
'Now I'm not dueling alone, and I promise you Joey that I will do everything to protect Serenity' when she closed her eyes and drew a card from her deck opening her eyes.
"Now I summon Harpie Lady in attack mode (ATK/1300 DEF/1400) and I also Activate the spell card Elegant Egotist to special summon my Harpie Lady Sisters in attack mode (ATK/1950 DEF/2150) and end my turn with one card face down, and its back to you Hun" she said knowing that Mia could attack.
Before Mia drew a card Serenity said,
"Hey Mai, isn't that Mia who we met the other night?"
Just before Mai could answer Mia interrupted,
"Yes Serenity it is me, but now I am known as the White Rose and now I draw and play one monster face down in defense mode and activate the spell card known as Amazoness Mask that can increase the attack and defense of 1 monster with Amazoness in its name. So I choose my Amazoness Spear Defender and end my turn."
A second or two later the spell card activated, the Amazoness mask appeared that flew to her Amazoness who took the mask in to her hands and pulled it over her head and face increasing her attack and defense points by 1000 points (ATK/1800 2800 & DEF/2000 3000) when the duel went back to Serenity.
When Serenity drew a card from her deck she looked at her hand and said,
"I activate the spell card, Harpies Feather Duster to destroy all of your spell and trap cards on the field that means that your Amazoness Mask Mia." she explained when Amazoness mask disappeared returning her Shield Defenders points back to normal.
When Mia's spell and traps were destroyed, Serenity said,
"Now I summon Dunames Dark Witch in attack mode (ATK/1800 DEF/1050) and activate the spell card Rose Whip and equip it to my Cyber Harpie increasing her attack and defense points by 300." she explained when her Cyber Harpie took hold of the grip of the whip as her attack and defense points rose to (ATK/2100 DEF/1500)
"Now my Cyber Harpie attack Mia's Amazoness Spear Defender" she ordered.
But then Téa revealed Waboku stopping the attack when Serenity's monster was unable to destroy Mia's Spear Defender ending Serenity's attacks for one turn.
When Serenity's turn finally came to an end, the duel went to Téa where she drew a card from her deck and said,
"Now I summon Punk Girl #1 in defense mode (ATK/1100 DEF/1900) and when my girl is summoned, I can special summon Punk Girl #2 (ATK/1000 DEF/1800) and Punk Girl #3 (ATK/1300 DEF/1800) to my side of the field and with that I end my turn" explained Téa from behind her Dark Magician Girl mask.
When the duel continued Mai drew a card from her deck and said,
"Now I summon my Dunames Dark Witch in attack mode (ATK/1800 DEF/1050) and now my Harpie Lady Sisters attack Punk Girl #1 with your Triple Scratch Attack" she ordered when her Harpies stood back to back and began to spin into a twister destroying Punk Girl #1. But due to Téa having her monsters in defense mode didn't lose any life points when she said,
"I place one card face down and end my turn" continued Mai when the duel went back to Mia while Ishizu was chained up high above the field.
A split second later, Mia drew a card from her deck and then looked at her hand when she saw a combo that could defeat Mai's Harpie Lady Sisters when she said,
"Now I activate the spell card Polymerization and fuse together my Mystic Horseman with my Amazoness Archer in order to fusion summon Diana – Queen of the Forest in attack mode" (ATK/2700 DEF/2550) she said when her monster appeared on the field between Téa and herself.
"It's your move Serenity" continued Mia when Serenity looked at the state of play.
Just then Serenity drew a card from her deck, and then after looking at her hand she said,
"I special summon my Alector, Sovereign of Birds" when her monster appeared on the field.
"You can't do that Serenity," said Téa.
"I can because if my opponent controls 2 or more monsters with the same attribute then I can special summon this card from my hand, furthermore once per turn I can select 1 face-up card on the field and negate its effect during the turn this effect is used" she explained, while her monster stood tall and proud with (ATK/2400 DEF/2000) points.
"Now my mighty beast take out Punk Girl #2" ordered Serenity when her monster flew high into the sky and attacked Punk Girl #2 with a mighty blast of wind from his large wings destroying Punk Girl #2 in the process.
"And my attacks don't end there, now my Cyber Harpie attack Téa's Punk Girl #3 with you whip lash attack" she ordered. When her Harpie carried out her mistress' orders as she her rose whip to wrap around Téa's Punk Girl #3 destroying her leaving Téa without any monsters to protect herself.
Just then Serenity looked at Mai and then up at Ishizu and thought,
'Don't worry Ishizu we'll save you and Téa' when she turned her attention to Téa and the duel.
Meanwhile in the dueling machine room, Yugi, Joey and Duke were dueling and defeating the duel bots easily while thinking of Mai, Ishizu, Serenity, and with Yugi thinking of nobody else but Téa while outside Kaiba's Blue Eyes White Jet was approaching Kaiba Land before as Kaiba and Mokuba descended onto the landing area. When they had safely touched down, Kaiba jumped out of the Jet with duel disk activated as Mokuba sat in the back of the jet and was able to deactivate the duel bots when Joey said,
"What happened, Yugi? Why did they stop?" he said when the doors opened and there with duel disk ready was Kaiba and Mokuba standing behind his older brother while the others turned to see them.
"Kaiba!" they said.
"What are you dorks doing here?" asked Kaiba in his normal self centered way.
"We came here, because our friends are in serious trouble Kaiba" explained Tristan when Yugi and Kaiba stood face to face.
"Kaiba, I will fill you in later but now we must get to the main dueling arena to save Ishizu, Mai, Serenity and Téa before we lose them to Nikki" said Yugi trying to persuade Kaiba to join them.
"So what. That's your problem" said Kaiba arrogantly?
"Kaiba you spoilt little rich boy, you never show respect for anyone but yourself" replied Joey angrily while being restrained by Duke and Tristan.
"Uh, Whatever loser anyway I have a over right system all ready installed and I have complete control over this theme park and this building" he explained making Joey furious.
"Seto we have a problem" said Mokuba checking his phone.
"What is it Mokuba?" his older brother said.
"The over right protocol isn't working I guess someone as hacked our systems and changed them" he explained.
"Ok now this is personal" said Kaiba when he turned to Yugi and looked at him in the eye.
"I'll team with you Yugi, but this is the last time, you got it" said Kaiba with an angry tone in his voice.
"Fine Kaiba, Now let's go" replied Yugi, when they made their way towards the dueling arena.
'Don't worry Téa I'm coming to save you' thought Yugi following Kaiba and Mokuba.
