Sorry for the long wait everyone; I was busy with other stories at the time. So please enjoy this new chapter.
Amazon vs. Gladiator part 1
Mindy and Syrus were about to come in when they heard all-to familiar voice. "Hey Mindy." The two turn to see Helena, smirking at them in her costume.
Mindy noticed her outfit was similar to the Amazoness Queen's. "Great, the royal pain."
"Oh ha-ha. That's so funny" Helena said, rolling her eyes. She eyed Syrus and asks "So…why is the king of machines going out with a bratty witch?"
"Will you be quiet?" Syrus said through the mouthpiece, making him sound little deeper.
"Wait…I only know one person that short." Helena said, and got a good look through the visor. "Truesdale?" She looked at Mindy and laughed. "Your going to the dance with Truesdale?" She continued to laugh, as Mindy got more and more mad.
"Shut up, you jerk!" Mindy growled in anger, as she saw that Helena was wearing her duel disc. "What do you want, Helena?"
"That duel of course." Helena said with a smirk, as she got out another one and threw it at Mindy, who caught it. "You game?"
"Uh…Mindy…" Syrus said, but Mindy just glared.
"Sure, I'm game." She got out her deck from a pocket Syrus didn't notice on her outfit, and puts it in.
"You sure you should do this?" asked Syrus with a nervous look under his mask.
"Seems your boyfriend wants you to quit. You might want to listen." Helena smirked as she got ready to go as well, shuffling her deck.
Mindy winked at Syrus and says "Don't worry, I got this." She and Helena both yell "DUEL!"
Mindy: 4000 LP
Helena: 4000 LP
They both got out five cards, as Helena says "Beauty before age, they say." She gets out a card, and smirks. "I'll bring out Amazoness Sage in attack mode!"
Amazoness Sage: 1400 ATK/ 700 DEF
A woman with dark skin, black hair, and dressed as a ancient shaman appeared, glaring at Mindy. "Think she scares me?" Mindy laughed.
"You were scared of her in our last duel." Helena teased, getting Mindy angry again. "I'll put a card down and end my turn. Your turn, witch."
"Why you…" She growled, as she got out a card from her deck. "I summon Gladiator Beast Bestiari in attack mode!"
"Gladiator what?" asked Helena, as a humanoid green bird in armor, glaring at the Amazon in front of it.
Bestiari: 1500 ATK / 800 DEF
The bird-like warrior screeched as Mindy says "Attack Bestiari! Use Sonic Javelin!" The bird sent out the two javelins in his shoulders and threw them at the Sage, destroying it.
Helena: 3900 LP
Helena growled as Mindy says, "I'll play two cards fast down and end my turn." Suddenly Bestiari vanished and got replaced with a pufferfish-like creature.
"What the heck?" asked Helena, confused.
"Oh yeah…I forgot to tell ya that Gladiator Beasts don't like to stick around after they fight. They need to rest up, so…Torax here is going to take over."
Torax: 1400 atk/400 def
"Alright, my turn," Helena said with a small glare, as she got out a card and says "I play a card face down in defense mode and end my turn."
"Alright. Attack Torax!" said Mindy, but saw a smirk on Helena's face. The fish was about to crush the card in front of it but then saw it flipped over.
"Wake up, Amazoness Swords woman!" Helena said, as the card revealed itself to be a woman with dark red hair, and a two-piece armor covering her body. She glared as she blocked the fish and sent it back.
Amazoness Swords Woman: 1500 ATK / 1600 DEF
Mindy grunts as she felt her life points go down.
Mindy: 3800 LP
Mindy growled a bit, as Helena says "Nice try, sister. But see if you can beat me now."
Mindy got out a card and says, "I play a card face down and I use Torax's special ability!" Torax vanished and got replaced by something in defense mode: a giant white rhino with white armor with giant shield floating around it.
"Who's that?" asked Helena, confused now.
"This is Hoplomus, a rock monster that has a lot of Defense points." Mindy said, as Hoplomus snorts a bit.
Hoplomus: 700 ATK / 2400 DEF
"I'll end my turn with a couple face downs." Mindy said as she lays some cards down.
"I guess I should get rid of the training wheels." Helena said, as she got out a card from her deck. "First I'll play the Field spell: Amazoness Village!" Suddenly the whole area turned into a village of huts and other warrior things.
"Nice trick." Mindy said, as Syrus watched.
'I hope this won't end badly. I can tell Helena is planning something.' Syrus said, as he saw her activate a card.
"I play Amazoness Willpower! And I'll use it to bring back the Sage."
Amazoness Sage: 1400 ATK/ 700 DEF
"And thanks to the Village, both of my Amazon monsters get stronger by 200 points." Helena explains, as the two Amazoness monsters got stronger. She then says "And I switch my Swords woman into attack mode
Sage: 1600 ATK
Swords Woman: 1700 ATK
"And now I'll bring out the Amazoness Tiger!" Helena said, as she brings out a large tiger.
Amazoness Tiger: 1100 ATK/1500 DEF
"And thanks to the effect of both the villiage and the fact that there is three Amazoness monsters out, lets see how this goes shall we?"
The tiger roared, as it got stronger.
Tiger: 1100 + 200 = 1500 + 1200 = 2700
"Now my Tiger kill that Rhino!" Helena said, as the tiger roared and pounced at it.
"I play my trap: Defensive Tactics!" Mindy said as the card made all of the shields around Hoplomus glow, stopping the tiger. "It negates an attack and gets rid of all battle damage."
Helena growled and says "I'll put a card face down and end my turn."
(Meanwhile)
At the party, Jaden and the others were waiting. "Where's Syrus and Mindy at?" asked Alexis, dressed as Cyber Tutu.
Jaden, dressed as Avian, shrugs and says "Not sure. It isn't like Syrus to be late. That's normally me."
Chazz, not being dressed up, says, "Who knows, right?" He then saw something and asks "What is that?"
Jaden turned and asks, "Why is there a duel in the forest." They all then thought about it. "Helena!" The group said, as Hassleberry goes on ahead.
"Come on, soldiers." Hassleberry said, as he walked on. "We need to see where Sergeant Truesdale and Cadet Mindy are at."
"How about where the duel is at." Blair said, as Jaden nods.
"Come on." Jaden said, as he, Hassleberry, Alexis, Blair and Jasmine went on towards the woods.
(Back at the duel)
Mindy began to think on this, as she thought 'that tiger is very strong, so maybe I should let Hoplomus take a break and gets some power into it.' She then sends Hoplomus and says "I play double summon!"
"Double Summon?" asked Helena, confused.
"It's a spell that lets me bring out two more monsters that I can summon." Said Mindy, as two new monsters came out. "Come on out Andal and Rescue cat!"
Andal came out in attack mode while Rescue Cat came out in Defense mode.
Andal: 1900 ATK/1500 DEF
Rescue cat: 300 ATK/100 DEF
"And lets not forget that Hoplomus went back into my deck, so I can bring out some big guns." Said Mindy, as a large dinosaur-like being came out, roaring. "Say hello to Spartacus!"
Spartacus: 2200 ATK/1600 DEF
The cat hissed at the three amazons, but the Tiger scared him. "Man…" Rescue cat whimpered, as he says "I'm out." Suddenly he vanished.
"What the? Is the pour kitty scared." Helena teased, and suddenly saw two Gladiators take its place; Torax and a Sabretooth tiger named Samnite.
Torax: 1400 ATK/ 400 DEF
Samnite: 1600 ATK/1200 DEF
"I end my turn with this." Mindy said calmly, as she sets a card down.
"Now I got a cool trick up my sleeve." Helena said, smirking as she says, "I put a card face down and I play Amazoness Fighting Spirit! This card will make sure I'll win this duel! Now Swords Woman, attack that pufferfish!"
Mindy yelled in pain as she felt the life points go down.
Mindy: 3500 LP
"Now Tiger, take down Samnite" Helena said.
Mindy: 2400 LP
Mindy groaned, as Helena laughed. "I'll end my turn with that."
Mindy looked worried, since she lost a lot of her monsters in one turn alone. Syrus, seeing her look distraught, says, "Don't give up Mindy! Like Jaden always says, one card can turn the whole duel around!"
Mindy looked at Syrus and smiled a bit. Helena only laughed and says "Please. That deck won't have anything that can take out my monsters."
Mindy then thinks 'I hope Syrus is right.' She draws a card and looks surprised at what she got.
