Open opening up outside in downtown San Francisco, it was still the morning of the second day of the tournament. Mavis was currently staying in the hospital for a few days to recover from her illness and injuries she sustained from being beaten up by Diesel, Arry, and Bert, and Toby had offered to stay by her side until she recovered...allowing the two to confess their love for each other.
Outside the hospital, the remaining Tidmouth Teens had decided to split up and such to cover more ground in searching for duelists. Thomas had four star coins already, but Percy and James both still had their default two. James, Gordon, and Henry each decided to travel together, while Thomas, Percy, Edward, and Emily decided to go with each other.
(elsewhere...)
With Thomas's group, Percy was thinking about how he would fare against either a champ or more experienced duelist.
"I sure hope my deck will be able to handle the competition." he said to himself. "It's not as powerful as Thomas's, but it should be able to win at least one duel."
Once again, the bottom of his deck showed the monster card 'Flame Swordsman'. Thomas looked over to his best friend when he saw the worried expression on his (Percy) face.
"Come on, Percy." he said encouragingly. "Just believe in yourself and your cards. And remember that you'll have your friends to cheer you on."
"That's right. You'll never be alone when you duel." Edward added,
Percy began to feel better. "Thanks, guys." he said, smiling. "Those words helped me."
Thomas smiled seeing his friend was feeling better. With that said, they continued off to find duelists.
Title: Warriors vs. Beauty
Thomas, Percy, Edward, and Emily all continued walking down a street wondering if they'll encounter any duelists...who didn't try challenging Emily.
"Wow." commented Percy. "So many guys challenging Emily even though she's not a competitor in this tournament."
"More like asking me out on a date." Emily mumbled in annoyance.
Edward couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, there was a voice shouting into the area.
"Harpie Lady Sisters! Attack and destroy Vorse Raider now!"
The four teenagers seemed to recognize the voice.
"Sounds like Lady is in a duel somewhere." Thomas remarked, looking around.
"Let's go find and cheer her on!" suggested Percy.
The four friends raced off until they could see Lady.
(elsewhere...)
Somewhere down the street, the beautiful blonde-haired girl (LP: 4000) currently had three female humanoid monsters wearing purple bodysuit-like clothing and breastplate armor. Their arms were bare and contained feathers to make them look like wings. Judging from the looks of it, those three winged beast monsters have already attacked and destroyed the opponent's Vorse Raider monster. The duelist Lady was facing was a 14-year old male. He fell to his knees and slammed a fist on the concrete in great disappointment (LP: 0).
"Nuts!" The boy groaned. "You win."
DUEL RESULTS: Lady Stone wins!
Thomas, Percy, Edward, and Emily all watched as the holograms at the dueling field all disappeared.
"Don't be too upset." said Lady, as she took her opponent's star coins. "You've tried your best."
The boy just sighed and walked away in disappointment. Lady took a look at her dueling glove proudly. She now had four star coins.
"Lady!" called the voice of Thomas.
Lady turned around and saw some of her new friends (Thomas, Percy, Edward, and Emily) walking up to her.
"Hi, guys!" she greeted happily, but noticed that some of the other Tidmouth Teens were not with them. "Huh? Where are Gordon, Henry, and James?"
"They split up so they'd find more duelists." said Edward.
Lady nodded understandingly.
"I see you've win your first duel of the tournament." Emily commented.
"Yup." Lady nodded while smiling, but then frowned and sighed unhappily. "Too bad it wasn't much of a duel. That boy was more interested in staring and admiring me than actually playing his cards right."
"I know what that's like."
"Hmm?" The beautiful blonde-haired girl raised an eyebrow.
Thomas chuckled. "While Emily isn't taking part of the tournament, many male duelists have been either challenging her or asking her out on a date."
Emily elbowed her blue-haired friend in the ribs in annoyance. Lady, having heard what's been happening to her dark green-haired friend, now had a rather humorously irritated look on her face as she rambled on comically.
"Oh really? Ugh! How annoying!"
"Tell me about it!" Emily agreed, looking annoyed.
"What I need is a duelist who can really give me a challenge and NOT admire me for my looks." Lady's comical look vanished, and she began eyeing Thomas and Percy both before settling on... "Someone like...you, Percy."
Percy blushed bright red. "M-m-me?" he finally asked, stuttering.
"Yes, you." Lady smiled. "Thinking back to when we met, it was rather wrong of me to think that you were a beginner. I'd actually like to see how good of a duelist you are."
"But what about me?" asked Thomas in disappointment.
"I know how good you are, Thomas." Lady replied. "Remember, I've watched your duel against Diesel." The beautiful blonde-haired girl looked back to Percy. "So what do you say? Is it a duel?"
At first, Percy didn't know what to say. He had been challenged to a duel by a very beautiful-looking girl. At last, he found his voice.
"It's a duel."
"Percy, are you sure about this?" asked Edward with concern in his voice.
"Of course I am." insisted Percy bravely. "How am I going to become a skilled duelist if I don't practice by facing another skilled duelist?"
Thomas felt like he wanted to say something...but couldn't find the courage to say what he wanted to say. Instead, he smiled.
"Go get her, Percy." The blue-haired boy encouraged.
Regardless, Percy felt nervous. "I'll try."
"If it'll make you feel calmer about your first tournament duel-" said Lady kindly. "-how about we each only bet one star coin?"
"No." Percy shook his head. "I'll wager both my coins."
Lady was surprised, and so were the other teenagers.
"Percy, you realize if you lose, you'll be booted from the tournament, right?" asked Emily seriously.
"I know." The green-haired boy replied. "But...somehow, I got the feeling...my gamble with come through for me."
"Percy, are you sure this is wise of you to do?" asked Lady uncertainly.
"To be honest-" answered Percy truthfully. "-not really. But how can someone get anywhere in life if they don't take chances like this?"
"Alright." sighed the beautiful blonde-haired girl, after seeing that Percy wasn't going to be talked out of his offer. "But don't say we didn't warn you."
With that said, the two duelists took their spots on one end of the street, shuffled their decks, inserted them into their Duel Disks, activated them, and stood firm.
"You can do it, Percy!" called Emily.
"Just remember everything you've learned and you can win!" Edward added.
"I sure hope so." thought Percy (LP: 4000).
"It's time to duel." said Lady with confidence (LP: 4000).
Turn One: Percy Avonside (LP: 4000)
Deck: (35)
Current Hand (5): Rocket Warrior, Shield & Sword, Dice Re-Roll, Garoozis, and Fairy Box
With him taking the first turn, Percy grinned at his opening hand. "Not too bad. I've got a good opening hand. I wonder what Lady's hand is like?"
He looked up and stared at Lady, who also gave a confident smile. The sight of the smile made Percy blush.
"Boy, she looks so pretty when she smiles." he thought to himself bashfully, taking a card from his hand. "This move will surely impress her."
But Thomas had noticed what card Percy selected and was alarmed.
"No, Percy! Not that one!"
But it was too late. The green-haired boy laid the monster card, Garoozis, onto a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
"I summon Garoozis in attack mode!" announced Percy proudly.
But...no monster appeared. Percy blinked as he wondered why his monster didn't get summoned.
"H-Hey! G-Garoozis! Where are you?!"
"I'm afraid that you've made a mistake just now." Lady pointed out.
"What are you talking about?" asked Percy, looking nervous.
"You can't just summon a level 5 monster like that." added Edward. "You have to sacrifice another monster first."
"You forgot one of the most basic rules of Duel Monsters!" called Emily.
Percy cringed at his little goof up. "Dang!"
Lady sighed. "It's too late now. Because now it's my turn!" She drew her card.
Turn Two: Lady Stone (LP: 4000)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (6): Harpie Lady #2, Harpie Lady #3, Monster Reborn, Dramatic Rescue, Spell Reproduction, and Harpie Lady #1
Her drawn card was a monster card called Harpie Lady #1.
"I play Harpie Lady #1 in attack mode!" announced Lady, placing the card on a monster field slot on her Duel Disk.
On cue, a female humanoid monster with long magenta colored hair and wearing purple clothing appeared. Feathers could be seen coming from both of her forearms to resemble wings of a sort (Level: 4/ATK: 1300/DEF: 1400).
Percy gulped, seeing as his goof up left him defenseless.
"And my winged friend has the ability to increase the attack of all wind attribute monsters by 300 points." explained Lady.
Harpie Lady #1's attack increased due to her being a wind attribute (ATK: 1300 - 1600).
"Oh boy, I'm in for it now." Percy thought to himself in panic.
"Harpie Lady #1-" Lady commanded. "-attack Percy's life points directly!"
Harpie Lady #1 obeyed and used her wings to fly higher until she dived down towards Percy with her sharp claws. The four Tidmouth Teens winced when they saw Harpie Lady #1 slash Percy with her claws.
"Ooh!" groaned both Thomas and Emily.
"That's going to leave a mark." Edward remarked.
Percy grunted as he steadied himself (LP: 2400).
"It's a good thing that wasn't a real monster." he said to himself. "Otherwise it would have left a huge scar."
"I end my turn." Lady stated. "Would you like to try again?"
Percy just drew his next card.
Turn Three: Percy Avonside (LP: 2400)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (5): Rocket Warrior, Shield & Sword, Dice Re-Roll, Fairy Box, and Little-Winguard
"Okay, that first turn was a slip up." The green-haired boy thought to himself. "This time, I'll show her what I can do."
"I hope Percy knows what he's doing this time," said Thomas. "He can't afford to keep making slip ups."
Over with Percy, he had selected another card from his hand.
"I summon Little-Winguard in defense mode!" he announced.
A pint-sized monster wearing blue armor, which covered all but its yellow eyes, with two tiny wings on both its shoulders appeared. It wielded a sword and shield (Level: 4/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1800).
Percy wasn't done yet. He selected one card from his hand.
"Finally, I'll set this card facedown." He slotted the card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk.
A hologram of a facedown card appeared behind Little-Winguard.
"That's all for me." Percy declared.
"It's my turn," said Lady, taking her draw.
Turn Four: Lady Stone (LP: 4000)
Deck: (33)
Current Hand (6): Harpie Lady #2, Harpie Lady #3, Monster Reborn, Dramatic Rescue, Spell Reproduction, and Cyber Shield
The beautiful blonde-haired girl added her drawn Cyber Shield (Equip Spell card) to her hand. Her hand now consisted of Harpie Lady #2, Harpie Lady #3, Monster Reborn, Dramatic Rescue, Spell Reproduction, and Cyber Shield.
"Not yet." Lady thought to herself with a small smile, just before selecting the recently drawn Cyber Shield from her hand. "I equip my Harpie Lady #1 with Cyber Shield!"
A bronze armor equipped onto Harpie Lady #1, making her grow stronger (ATK: 2100/ DEF: 1400).
"This Equip Spell boosts my Harpie Lady's attack by 500." explained Lady. "That makes it strong enough to destroy your Little-Winguard. Harpie Lady #1, destroy Little-Winguard now!"
Harpie Lady #1 obeyed and used her wings to fly higher until she dived down towards Percy's weak monster with her sharp claws. This time, however, Percy was prepared.
"Your monster will have to find it first." Percy pointed out, pressing a button his Duel Disk. "I play Fairy Box!"
Just before Harpie Lady #1 could strike, Little-Winguard disappeared into a large Whack-A-Mole machine, popping up out of several holes, confusing Lady's monster.
"What's...going on?" asked Lady.
"Pick a box, any box." grinned Percy. "Hit the target, and my monster will be destroyed. But miss, and my monster will be spared for the turn."
Little-Winguard slowly poked out of one of the holes.
"Attack now!" commanded Lady.
Harpie Lady #1 obeyed and swiped at the hole. As soon as Harpie Lady 1's claw struck the box, a cloud of dust erupted Percy's side of the field. Lady tried to see through the dust field.
"Did I get it?"
When the dust field cleared, Fairy Box was destroyed...but Little-Winguard was still present.
"Sorry..." grinned Percy. "You missed."
Lady smiled. "I'm impressed. That's some good luck you have there, Percy."
Percy blushed at this compliment. "Thanks." he said, bashfully kicking the ground with his foot.
"Percy!" called Edward. "Don't lose focus!"
Snapping out of his love daze, Percy drew his card.
Turn Five: Percy Avonside (LP: 2400)
Deck: (33)
Current Hand (4): Rocket Warrior, Shield & Sword, Dice Re-Roll, and Panther Warrior
The green haired-boy added is card to his hand and gazed at it. He was feeling dismayed that he hadn't drawn anything helpful.
"Not too good." Percy thought. "Guess I'll have to defend a little bit longer."
He selected his Rocket Warrior monster card from his hand and laid it sideways on a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
"I summon Rocket Warrior in defense mode!"
A small warrior in a greenish armor that resembled parts of a rocket appeared and knelt (Level: 4/ATK: 1500/DEF: 1300).
"I'll also keep my Little-Winguard in defense mode too." Percy added. "That's it for me."
"Then it's my turn now!" cried Lady, drawing her card. "Now!"
Turn Six: Lady Stone (LP: 4000)
Deck: (32)
Current Hand (6): Harpie Lady #2, Harpie Lady #3, Monster Reborn, Dramatic Rescue, Spell Reproduction, and Mirror Wall
Lady smiled and held out a card from her hand; it was a monster card called Harpie Lady #2.
"Now I call forth my Harpie Lady #2!"
Another a female humanoid monster appeared. She had the same clothes and feather colors as Harpie Lady #1, but her hair was shorter and orange in color (Level: 4/ATK: 1300 - 1600/DEF: 1400).
"Now I'll set this card facedown." Lady continued, slotting a card into her Duel Disk.
A facedown card appeared behind Harpie Lady #1.
"Your turn, Percy."
"Those harpies could have easily destroyed Percy's monster." said Emily to Thomas and Edward. "Why didn't Lady attack?"
"She must be planning something." answered Thomas.
Percy then took his turn.
Turn Seven: Percy Avonside (LP: 2400)
Deck: (32)
Current Hand (4): Shield & Sword, Dice Re-Roll, Panther Warrior, and Blue Flame Swordsman
Noticing what he's just drawn, Percy smiled. It was his Blue Flame Swordsman monster, and one that will enable him to destroy Lady's Harpie Ladies.
"Okay, Lady!" Percy exclaimed, setting his monster card onto an empty monster field slot on his Duel Disk. "Meet my Blue Flame Swordsman!"
Appearing Percy's field was a monster that looked similar to Flame Swordsman, but his armor was painted black and his sword's blade was blue (Level: 4/ATK: 1800/ DEF: 1600).
"Next I'll switch both of my other monsters into attack mode!" Percy continued, turning both of his other monster cards on his Duel Disk facing forth.
Rocket Warrior and Little-Winguard both stood up and ready for battle. Edward, however, looked uncertain on what Lady was planning.
"She must be setting a trap for Percy." he thought, before speaking aloud. "Percy, don't attack!"
Too late. Percy pointed forth determinedly.
"Blue Flame Swordsman! Attack Harpie Lady #2!"
Blue Flame Swordsman obeyed, causing a blue flame to ignite on his sword as he charged for an attack.
"I'm afraid you activated my Trap card," sighed Lady, poking a button on her Duel Disk. "Mirror Wall!"
On cue, the beautiful blonde-haired girl's facedown card flipped up and revealed itself, creating a shining wall of crystal in the process. Blue Flame Swordsman's weapon struck the wall, and caused the monster himself to get pushed back from the recoil.
"What just happened?" asked Percy.
Lady chuckled. "When you commanded your monster to attack, Mirror Wall had gone and halved your monster's overall attack. As a result, your monster is now weak enough for my Harpie Lady #2 to counterattack and destroy it."
Blue Flame Swordsman got weaker (ATK: 1800 - 900).
"Harpie Lady #2, counterattack!" commanded Lady.
Harpie Lady #2 obeyed, slicing Blue Flame Swordsman with her claws.
"My monster's been cut to ribbons!" exclaimed Percy (LP: 1700).
"This is why you don't just rush in and attack!" scolded Emily.
Lady sighed. "Is that all, or will you continue your turn?"
Percy grunted. "I activate my Blue Flame Swordsman's effect!" His deck started glowing white. "If it gets sent to my graveyard, I call special summon from my hand, deck, or graveyard the original Flame Swordsman!"
A small flame left behind from Blue Flame Swordsman grew until the original Flame Swordsman appeared in his place (Level: 5/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1600).
"I end my turn now."
Lady only silently drew her next card.
Turn Eight: Lady Stone (LP: 4000)
Deck: (31)
Current Hand (5): Harpie Lady #3, Monster Reborn, Dramatic Rescue, Spell Reproduction, and Pot of Greed
"I'll first play Pot of Greed!" she announced, inserting her drawn card into her Duel Disk.
The Pot of Greed Spell card materialized face-up.
"Now I draw two more cards from my deck!"
Lady drew her two cards from the top of her deck. She now held two extra copies of Cyber Shield in her right hand. Smiling, she added them to her hand and then held out her Harpie Lady #3 monster card.
"Say hello to Harpie Lady #3!" Lady announced, placing the card onto a monster field slot on her Duel Disk.
The Harpie Lady #3 card materialized, just before another female humanoid monster appeared. She had the same clothes and feather colors as Harpie Ladies #1 and #2, but her hair was messier and blue in color (Level: 4/ATK: 1300 - 1600/DEF: 1400).
"Uh oh..." gulped Percy. "I think I'm in trouble."
"Worse than you think." Lady nodded, taking two more cards from her hand. "I'll play two more copies of Cyber Shield!"
Both Harpie Ladies #2 and #3 were both equipped with bronze armor, increasing their strength even further (ATK: 1600 - 2100).
"Now my Harpie Ladies!" commanded Lady. "Attack Percy's monsters now!"
The trio of Harpie Ladies obeyed and lunged forth to the right.
Harpie Lady #3 destroyed Flame Swordsman first. But since the warrior monster was in defense mode, Percy's life points were untouched. Harpie Lady #2 destroyed Rocket Warrior next. Unfortunately, since Rocket Warrior was in attack mode, Percy's life points took a hit (LP: 1100). Harpie Lady #1 was approaching to take out Little-Winguard. Suddenly, Percy held out his empty right hand...
"I activate my Winguard's effect!"
"What effect?" asked Lady.
"Once on either player's turn, I can switch the battle position of my Little-Winguard at my choosing." Percy explained, placing two of his fingers onto his Little-Winguard card on his Duel Disk. "And I change my monster to defense mode!"
Before Harpie Lady #1 can slash her claw down, Little-Winguard kneeled down into a defensive stance. Harpie Lady #1 destroyed the puny warrior monster.
"And since he was in defense mode-" said Percy. "-I lose no life points from that attack."
"That was an impressive play, Percy." Lady smiled briefly, but then she frowned in disapproval. "But I'm not impressed. Throughout this duel, I've sensed some hesitation within you. Almost like you're afraid to play against me at your best. Is this true?"
Percy nodded slowly in embarrassment.
The beautiful blonde-haired girl sighed. "Listen to me, Percy. Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean you should be holding back. I can take whatever punishment you care to throw at me, and I'll also take it with courage."
Percy had a thought, however... "Not if the duelist you're facing is your crush."
"I'll end my turn." Lady stated.
Percy just silently drew is card.
Turn Nine: Percy Avonside (LP: 1100)
Deck: (31)
Current Hand (4): Shield & Sword, Dice Re-Roll, Panther Warrior, and Roll of Fate
Percy started to fall into despair.
"Lady's right." he thought to himself. "All I've been doing this entire match is make sloppy move after sloppy move, all because I have a crush on her. I'm just afraid that if I beat her, Lady might never talk to me again. Now look where that brought me: 'Only 1100 life points left, no monsters on my field, and no monster in my hand powerful enough to destroy her three Harpie Ladies.' I'm way in over my head."
Percy started to bring his right hand onto the top of his Duel Disk.
"Maybe I should just sur-"
"Percy!" called the voice of Edward.
Percy looked back towards the intellignt blue-haired boy.
"You can't surrender." Edward exclaimed. "You have to keep fighting."
"But I can't!" argued the green-haired boy. "I've got nothing to beat her Harpie Ladies. And even if I try to do something, I'll just make another sloppy move."
"We know you can find a way to turn this duel around!" Thomas replied. "Answer me this question: When I was facing off against Spencer's Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, I too considered surrendering. However, what was the one thing that gave me the courage to keep fighting?"
"Our support?" asked Percy.
"Yes!" nodded the blue-haired boy. "It was thanks to the support from you and the others that I was able to turn the tide of the duel and win. Now that you are the one dueling, and we believe in you."
"Thomas is right, Percy." Lady spoke up. "While we are opponents right now, I want you to know this: 'I believe in you, too'."
Percy looked back to his friends. They believed that he could pull through, and even Lady believed in him. Suddenly, he felt determined.
"Alright." said Percy with determination. "I'll try." With that said, he placed a card into his Duel Disk. "I activate the Spell card Roll of Fate!"
The Roll of Fate card materialized. A normal looking dice appeared and was thrown up into the sky.
"I begin by rolling a die." Percy explained. "Whatever number I roll means I get to draw that many cards from my deck. However, I must then banish that number of cards from the top of my deck afterward."
"Looks like Percy's taking another gamble." Emily remarked.
"Let's hope fate is on his side." Thomas pleaded.
The tossed die started falling to the ground.
"Here it comes..." whispered Edward.
The die landed, rolled around, and stopped...
...on a six.
"Yes!" cried Percy. "Now I get to draw six new cards!" He drew his new cards, but then banished the top six cards of his deck.
Looking at his drawn cards, he's drawn the following: Baby Dragon, Time Wizard, Giant Trunade, Monster Reborn, Magical Arm Shield, and United We Stand.
"First up, I summon Baby Dragon in attack mode!" Percy laid his monster card onto a monster field slot on his Duel Disk.
A small infant dragon with orange scales and blue eyes appeared (Level: 3/ATK: 1200/DEF: 700).
"And thanks to your Harpie Lady #1-" added Percy. "-he gains 300 attack points."
Baby Dragon grew stronger (ATK: 1200 - 1500).
"But it doesn't really matter though." Lady pointed out. "Your monster cannot stand up to my Harpie Ladies!"
"Not for long!" retorted Percy, placing a card in his a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk. "I activate the Spell card Giant Trunade!"
Suddenly, a giant turret of wind rose in the center of the dueling field. Lady braced herself again it, which the Harpie Ladies did so too...when their armor all vanished, leaving them only in their usual clothing.
"Giant Trunade returns of Spell and Trap cards back to both players hands." Percy explained. "And without Cyber Shield, their power boosts are nullified too."
The three Harpie Ladies grew weaker (ATK: 2100 - 1600).
"I'm sorry, Percy, but you still have nothing left to stop my Harpie Ladies." Lady insisted. "They're each stronger than your Baby Dragon."
"Not quite." The green-haired boy rebuffed. "Now I play Time Wizard!"
Appearing before them was a large red clock with eyes, a cape, and a staff.
"Time Wizard?" Lady blinked. "What's that?"
"This little guy is going to bring me a win." explained Percy. "By using Time Roulette, the minute hand spins around in his staff. If it lands on a time machine, then he uses Time Magic. But if it lands on a skull, all my monsters will be destroyed and I take damage."
"Talk about risky." said Thomas. "If this fails, he'll lose the duel."
"Percy..." whispered Emily.
"Here goes..." Percy thought to himself, before speaking aloud. "Go Time Roulette!"
The little hand on the staff began to spin around like a spinner on a board game. After a few seconds, Percy spoke.
"Now stop!"
Everyone watched and held their breath as the roulette slowed down. It started to land on a skull at first, then another skull, and then finally...
...a time machine!
"He did it!" cheered Emily.
"Okay, go Time Warp!" called Percy triumphantly.
"Time Magic!" cried the high-pitched voice of the Time Wizard.
The small magician-like monster waved its staff into the air as a large clock appeared above them.
"Now watch as Baby Dragon ages 1000 years in time..." said Percy, as Baby Dragon began to grow older. "Now, behold Thousand Dragon!"
Baby Dragon had aged itself into the Thousand Dragon (Level: 7/ATK: 2400/DEF: 2000).
"That's not all the Time Wizard has done." Thomas smiled.
Lady was impressed to say the least. "Well, that is what I call impressive." she grinned mischievously. "But you'll still have to get by my Harpie Ladies first!"
"Then I'm afraid that will be easier than you think." Percy pointed out. "Your Harpies have also been affected by the Time Magic. Take a look at them."
Lady did so...but wished that she hadn't. The three Harpie Ladies were now old and wrinkled, and age also affected their overall stats (ATK: 1600 - 400 / DEF: 1400 - 500).
"W-What's happened to my Harpie Ladies?!" Lady exclaimed.
"They were also aged by Time Magic." explained Percy. "Now they're weak enough to be destroyed by my dragon. But first... I activate another Spell, Monster Reborn."
He immediately held up the mentioned Spell card for a brief moment. From Percy's graveyard came Blue Flame Swordsman.
"And I'll use it to special summon Blue Flame Swordsman from my graveyard back in defense mode!"
Blue Flame Swordsman returned to Percy's field, kneeling in defense mode.
"Why would you bring him back?" asked Lady.
"Because my Swordsman has another ability." explained Percy.
"What?! What is it?"
Percy smirked. "I can transfer any number of its attack points and add them to another monster."
Lady's eyes widened. "Any monster?!"
"That's right." Percy nodded. "And the monster I choose is Thousand Dragon!"
Blue Flame Swordsman held up his sword as a blue flame glowed on it before transferring over to Thousand Dragon, boosting its attack points (ATK: 2400 - 4200).
"But now I play one more card." Percy continued, slotting a card into his Duel Disk. "United We Stand!"
A facedown card appeared and immediately flipped up to reveal itself. Suddenly, Thousand Dragon felt itself growing even stronger than it already was (ATK: 4200 - 5800).
"United We Stand increases any one of my monster's attack points by 800 for every monster I control on my field." Percy explained.
Thomas, Edward, and Emily were each amazed at how powerful Percy's monster was now. Even Lady was rather amazed at the dragon's might, but didn't say it out loud in case it embarrassed Percy.
"Thousand Dragon!" ordered Percy. "Attack those old Harpie Ladies with Inferno Flame Breath!"
Thousand Dragon and blew a large stream of flames, toasting the three Harpie Ladies with an inch of their lives. Lady watched as her three monsters were destroyed before her very own eyes (LP: 0).
DUEL RESULTS: Percy Avonside wins!
"He did it! Percy won!" Thomas and Emily both cheered.
"Amazing." Edward breathed.
"I actually did it." said Percy happily. "I won my first major duel!"
Lady stood motionless for a few seconds before she closed her eyes and smiled, accepting her loss gracefully.
"Congratulations, Percy." she said, as she started walking over. "You've won the duel."
"Thanks, Lady." replied Percy. "You were a great opponent."
Once Lady got close enough, she opened Percy's right hand and laid two star coins onto his palm.
"As the victor, you've earned these two star coins."
The green-haired boy smiled, looking at the coins in his hand.
"I have four star coins like Thomas does." Percy thought to himself. "And I managed to beat a more experienced duelist, too."
Lady continued to stand near Percy, just as Emily, Edward, and Thomas all approached their two friends to congratulate them both on a job well done.
