Chapter 17

Still Fighting

Friday Night

Pegasus's Castle

Tea has 3800 life points. Atem has 3600 life points. He has three face down cards and Curse of Dragon in defense mode. Tea has one card face down. "Okay it's my move pharaoh!" Yelled Tea. She draws a card and smiles. "I play Cyber-Stein to the field in attack mode. I also place another card face down. And I will attack your Curse of Dragon! Cyber-Stein attack Curse of Dragon!" Yelled Tea. "Not so fast I reveal one of my face down cards as Mirror Force!" Yelled Atem. "It will send your attack right back at you!" Yelled Atem. "Not if I can counter it with Mirror Force too sending attack that was meant for you that went to me and then back to you!" Yelled Tea. Tea smile, but then her smile faded when she saw her own life points went down to 3300. "How did my life points go down?" Asked Tea. "Thanks to my trap card, remove trap. I manage to get rid of that trap card." Said Atem. Tea look down at her cards and sigh. "Okay then I end my turn." Said Tea.

From the side lines Seth, Pegasus, Shadi, Simon, Bakura, Isis, Merick, Odion, Karim, and Aknadin look up from the duel. "This girl is foolish into believing she can take down the pharaoh." Said Odion. "I don't know, but before I since a similar power to the pharaoh." Said Isis. Everyone turn and except Shadi and Simon gasp. "Is that even possible?" Asked Pegasus. "Some things are possible and some things can be completely unclear." Said Shadi. "You do know that you don't make any since don't you." Said Pegasus. "I said before, but it may have been nothing." Said Isis. "Well power or not this girl is no match for him." Said Pegasus. "Sometimes people can surprise you." Said Shadi. Tea seems to have gotten better, but where are Tom and Serenity. I know they aren't dead because Tea survived unless they must be trying to rescue the others and Tea must be a distraction. Thought Bakura. "Hey guys I think Tea is just here to distract us." Said Bakura in a whisper. "What do you mean?" Asked Merick. "Do you notice that Tea is the only one here and that she survives the fall." Said Bakura. "Of course there's a chance that since she survive the other two survive too. She must be a distraction." Said Seth. "So I suggest that you, Merick, and Odion go down to where the others are and hide in that room. When you see them bring them up here." Said Seth. Those three nodded and walk out.

Tom and Serenity walk down the hall in search of the room where everyone was being held. Serenity looks up at Tom. "Hey Tom are you sure we should go this way?" Asked Serenity. "Well it's only one way tunnel and we haven't run into any guards so that must be a good thing." Said Tom. "Hey Tom what exactly did you say to Tea?" Asked Serenity. "Just good luck. Why?" Question Tom. "Is that the only thing you said?" Question Serenity. "Yes." Said Tom. "Why do you ask?" Question Tom. "Well when you came back you cheeks were bright red and I never saw you with light pink lip gloss on." Said Serenity. She laugh and Tom blush. He was glad there were hardly any light in these tunnels because his face became a very bright red. "So I guess that you two are more than friends." Said Serenity. "Yeah." Said Tom. The two of them started walking in a slower pace. "It's kind of funny." Said Serenity. "Funny how?" Asked Tom. "I always thought Tea liked Yugi especially when he had all that confidence in his voice." Said Serenity. "I guess she moved on." Said Serenity. "Yeah I guess she has." Said Tom in a whisper. "Hey just ignore what I said and we better hurry and find where the others are this place is creeping me out." Said Serenity. She ran past Tom. Tea used to like Yugi. I guess she used to like the pharaoh. Wow that might explain why she's… "Hey Tom! Come on!" Yelled Serenity. Tom just sighs. I'll talk to Tea later. Thought Tom.

Tea's life points are 3300. Atem's life points are 3600. Tea has one card face down. Atem has one card face down. "Okay my move!" Yelled Atem. He draws out a card. "I place my Dark Magician down on the field in attack mode!" Yelled Atem. Atem's Dark Magician went from 2500 to 3000 attack points. "Huh. How is it that your Dark Magician went up by 500 points?" Asked Tea. "Well Tea my Dark Magician has merge with Mahad one of my priests." Said Atem. "I also play Dark Magician Girl on the field who also gets 3000 life points!" Yelled Atem. "Now my Dark Magician wipe out the rest of her life points!" Yelled Atem. "Reveal face down card!" Shouted Tea. The card Trap Hole was reveal. "This card will trap your Dark Magician and in turn destroy it!" Shouted Tea. Atem's life points went from 3600 to 2500. "I believe that it is my move!" Yelled Tea. She draws from her deck. She lays a card on the field. "I play swords of revealing light causing you not to move for three turns." Said Tea. Okay Tea now you can summon us, but be careful he is a very good duelist. She places a card on the field. "This gives me a chance to bring forth my Dark Witch and that ends my turn." Said Tea.

From the side lines Isis took a deep breath in. "This girl is a very strong duelist." Said Isis. "Indeed but don't forget that our pharaoh is a very strong duelist." Said Seth. "When do you think that Atem is going to draw at least one of the Egyptian God Cards?" Asked Karim. "He may not want to risk it on this girl." Said Simon. "But what other choice does he have. This girl has gotten stronger and there is an unknown power I since in her that I have never felt except when it came from Yugi-boy." Said Pegasus.

"Hey I think this is the door." Said Tom. Tom opens the door and sees that the others from the islands are inside and also Merick, Bakura, and Odion. Merick use the Millennium Rod on both of them. "This will be way easier than carrying to screaming people all the way to the duel." Said Merick. Bakura and Odion just nodded and the five went to the dueling arena.

"I believe that it's your turn." Said Tea. "I know." Said Atem. Atem draws a card I place one card face down and end my turn." Said Atem. "Okay my move." Said Tea. Tea draws one card. "I also place one card face down and bring forth my Scarlet Witch and end my turn." Said Tea. Atem draws another card. "I place another card face down and end my turn." Said Atem. "I play my White Witch on the field and now that I have all three witches on the field they form to make Pure Heart Witch and with her special ability can take out any trap or magic cards on the field." Said Tea. Three of Atem's cards vanish. Pure Heart Witch has 3400 attack points. The Swords of Revealing Lights vanish. Where did Tea ever get those three cards and where did she learn to use them. Thought Atem. "Now my Pure White attack his Dark Magician Girl!" Shouted Tea. Pure White Witch takes out Dark Magician Girl in a heart beat and Atem's life points go down to 1500 life points.
