W: 4000
R: 4000

Raye looked over her hand as Weevil drew his, "Mind if I go first?" she asked, glancing up at him. Weevil chuckled and shook his head, "Be my guest...,". Raye nodded and drew her sixth card, "To start this off, some quick and easy damage! I play my Tremendous Fire spell card! This deals you 1000 points of Direct Damage while it deals me 500!"

A torrent of fire appeared around them, the flames hissing and kicking at them. Needless to say, Weevil got burned.

(A/N: Ok, stupid joke...)

W: 3000
R: 3500

"Next, some more firepower. I play my Ookazi spell card to deal you another 800 points!". Weevil looked up as a small gathering of flaming rocks appeared above Raye and bombarded him with ferocity.

W: 2200
R: 3500

"Hehe...if that's all you got, then you're no match for me, my dear," Weevil said as he straightened his glasses. Raye grinned, "If you say so. I almost took away half of your Life Points already and it's not even the end of my first turn!".

She took two out of her remaining three cards and inserted one into the disk, then placed one on the field. "I'll place a card facedown, and now I'll summon my Gravekeeper's Vassal (700/500)!".

A small, seedy looking man in tan and green robes, wearing a red turban appeared on Raye's side of the field, rubbing his dark hands together.

"I'll end my turn now,"

Weevil drew his card and scanned his hand, "First off, I play the spell card, Insect Barrier! In case you've forgotten my story earlier, this prevents any insect monsters from attacking my side of the field! Next, I summon my Basic Insect (500/700) to the field in attack mode!".

Raye watched as a short green mantis-look-alike appeared on the field, mandibles clicking rapidly, Why would he bring out such a weak monster? I could easily kill it off with my Vassal!

"I'm not done yet! I play the spell card, Multiplication of Ants! What this does is this: I'll offer my Basic Insect monster as a tribute to special summon two Army Ant Tokens to the field!".

2 Army Ant Tokens (500/1200) each

Ok...this doesn't make sense...what's he planning? Raye pondered, itching to get this turn over with..

"Finally, I'll place a card facedown on the field and end my turn,".

Raye sighed loudly, "Bout damn time," she drew her next card, "I sacrifice my Gravekeeper's Vassal in order to summon one of my stronger monsters...Weevil, meet Mr Volcano (2100/1200)!".

In the seedy looking man's place, a torrent of flame erupted from the ground and a tall man in a purple cape with red hair appeared, hands engulfed in the blazing fire.

"Mr Volcano, attack his first Army Ant Token!" Raye ordered, pointing to the intended target, "Torrent of Fire!". Her fire creature nodded and immediately shot a large pillar of fire straight at the tokens.

"Heehee...I don't think so. I activate my trap card, DNA Surgery! When this little card comes into effect, I can select one type of monster and every monster on the field turns into that type of monster. I choose the type, Insect!"

Before her eyes, Raye's Mr Volcano began to turn a light green with little feelers sprouting from his head.

Weevil let out a laugh, "Also, in addition to DNA Surgery, since your monster is now an Insect monster, my Insect Barrier keeps the attack from harming me or my little friends!".

Little piece of... Raye shook her head as her bug-like pyromaniac came back to her side of the field, Gotta keep a calm head, don't rush off and do something you'll regret later.

"Since you've done this to my monster, I cannot attack, so I'll just place a card facedown and end my turn,"

Weevil drew his next card, "Ah...a little help eh? Alright. I summon my Parasite Ticky (?/?) to the field!"

"Uh...what's the deal with your Ticky?" Raye asked, confused that the points were filled by question marks. Weevil chuckled, "That's Ticky's special effect. You see, for every token on the field, my Ticky gains 500 ATK and DEF points," he explained, straightening his glasses.

Parasite Ticky (1000/1000)

"With that...I'll end my turn,"

Raye drew her next card, "Alright...let's see here. I summon my Invasion of Flames (1300/1200) to the field alongside of Mr Volcano! Then I'll activate my two facedown cards! First off, I activate my Backfire trap card! For every one of my Fire-attribute monsters that are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, I can deal you 500 points of damage! Secondly, I activate my second facedown, Rock Bombardment! By sending a Rock-type monster from my deck to my Graveyard, I can deal you 500 points of Direct Damage! So I choose my Charm of Shabti and send it packing! Here comes the pain, bug boy!"

Weevil watched as his opponent's deck glowed, followed by a high whistling sound. He looked up to see a large boulder heading his way. Even though it was holographic, he braced himself as the boulder hit the ground just inches from his body, hitting his Life Points.

W: 1700
R: 3500

"You're going to pay for that one, girly. Are you done?" the Insect duelist hissed, blowing dust away from him. Raye nodded, "Seeing as you cut off my attack route, yeah, I'm done,".

Weevil drew his next card, "Hmmm...time for some fun. I sacrifice my Parasite Ticky to summon forth my much stronger Saber Beetle (2400/600) in attack mode!".

They both watched as a large scarab with a long horn on it's head appeared, bolts of lightning crackling along the edges. Raye gulped and Weevil laughed as he inserted a card into his duel disk, "That's not all! I equip my bug with the card, Laser Cannon Armor! An old favorite of mine. This boosts an insect monster's power by 300 points!"

Saber Beetle (2700/900)

This isn't good... Raye thought as a large, metal pack appeared on the Beetle's backside. Weevil let out a cold laugh, "Consider yourself lucky! Not many newbies can see my stronger cards in their first duels against me! Saber Beetle, destroy her Invasion with Electric Stab Stinger!" he ordered.

The beetle scuttled its way over to Raye's side of the field and pierced her fireball creature directly in the middle. It exploded into a puff of smoke and wisps as Raye's Life Points went down.

W: 1700
R: 2100

"Don't forget, Weevil! My Backfire Trap Card! Everytime a Fire monster is destroyed, you get dealt damage!"

W: 1200
R: 2100

"Like it matters...I end my turn," Weevil said with a shrug. Raye drew her next card and looked over her hand, "Hmmm...first, I'll place a card facedown, then I summon my Gravekeeper's Curse (800/800)!"

Weevil laughed even more as a dark-skinned man in robes with a hooked staff appeared next to Mr Volcano, "That's your move? PLEASE! I could...," he paused, noticing his Life Point counter.

W: 700
R: 2100

"Hey! What gives?! What just happened!" he demanded. Raye smiled innocently, "That's my Gravekeeper's effect! When he's summoned successfully, I can deal you 500 points of direct damage...," she said slowly, clearing enjoying this, "But I'm not done yet. I remove from my Graveyard, the Invasion of Flames you destroyed in order to summon a great and powerful being of flame! I summon forth...my Spirit of Flames (1700/1000),"

Weevil blinked, "So what? He's not strong enough to take down my Saber Beetle..not like he could though, with my combo on the field," he reminded her, pointing to Insect Barrier and DNA Surgery.

He's right...but I don't need to attack him to beat him Raye thought with a grin, "I'll end my turn," she said as a fiery efreet (1) rose from the earth and stood alongside it's comrades on her side of the field.

Weevil drew his next card and a wide grin appeared on his face, "This is PERFECT! My dear...you are about to witness the birth of a creature that almost rivals the strength of the legendary Blue Eyes White Dragon! I remove from my graveyard my Parasite Ticky and my Basic Insect in order to summon this...my Doom Dozer (2800/2600)!"

The floor seemed to shake as a gigantic red and black centipede appeared with an almighty roar. Weevil's grin seemed to grow even wider, "He may be a few points short of the Blue Eyes White Dragon, but with my Saber Beetle, I shall destroy your monsters and eliminate you from the competition!"

"I don't think so, bug-face!"

"Huh?" Weevil glared at her, "Don't even try to put up a front...you have nothing strong enough to take down this creature!"

Raye looked at him, "That's true...I don't. But I don't need a monster to take him or your Saber Beetle down. I activate my facedown card, Needle Ceiling! I can only activate this card when there are four or more monsters on the field, and with your tokens, I count seven monsters! Now, the field is purged!"

They both watched as a large stone slab with gigantic spikes on the bottom came crashing down onto their monsters. Raye put her hands together as if in prayer, "Forgive me, my friends...but I promise you your sacrifices won't be in vain," she said quietly as the slab of stone disappeared to reveal that the field was now completely void of monsters.

"Lucky shot! I'll get you next turn...," Weevil spat at her. Raye shook her head, "No chance. It's true that I no longer have any monsters on my field, but my Backfire trap card is still in play! Remember the effect?"

"Of course! Since you keep ranting about it! Everytime a Fire monster of yours is sent to the grave, I get...dealt...500...points...," Weevil stopped and just stood there.

Raye smirked, "Realizing it now? Like I said, I didn't need a monster to beat your monsters. I only needed two more fire monsters to go to the Graveyard for me! So, thanks to my Spirit of Flames and Mr Volcano, you get dealt a total of 1000 points of damage!"

W: 0
R: 2100

Raye happily stuck her passcard into her pocket while Weevil leaned against the railing. She walked over to him, "So,".

He glanced at her, "So what? You beat me, just get out of here before someone else sees," he muttered angrily.

"I'm sorry you're mad, but I had a good strategy," Raye patted him on the shoulder, "But you see...you said if I beat you, not only would I get a passcard to advance, but you'd tell me about this power you and Rex used earlier,".

Weevil glanced at her and shook off her hand, "Oricalchos," he whispered. Raye frowned and leaned in, "Sorry, didn't hear that?".

"Oricalchos!" Weevil snapped at her, "It's a stone from an ancient time that's got a lot of power behind it. You want more info, don't ask me, that's all I'm gonna tell. If you're still interested in this, look up the subject of Atlantis,".

Before she could ask anything else, Weevil adjusted his glasses and straightened his jacket before walking off, cursing under his breath about losing again to a newbie.

Atlantis? The Lost City? Raye frowned and folded her arms across her chest Better let Amy get in on this. Atlantis is a myth...right? I mean, if it's somehow, TRUE...then what does it have to do with Yugi and his friends?
