Almost a month-and-a-half had passed since the Tidmouth Teens, Mavis, Lady, Spencer, his parents, and Skiff had all returned to the Island of Sodor after the San Francisco Duel Monsters tournament had ended. Thomas became more popular than ever when everyone heard how well he did in the tournament. But sadly, it was back to the usual; schoolwork and all of that other stuff. However, Sodor High School recently got two new students, and they were both from the United States and also were in the San Francisco tournament, and were former champions. That's right, they were Rosie Vulcan and Stanley Hudswell.
Stanley remained polite, humble, and a real charmer with the girls, even though he wasn't too interested. Rosie also remained a sweet, caring, and spunky girl... who still harboured a huge crush on Thomas and such. Now, while Emily did become good friends with Rosie, the two girls sorta had a rivalry, because they both liked the same boy (Thomas). One day, outside the school during noon hour, this finally came to a head as both girls argued, once again, over Thomas.
"What makes you think you'll become Thomas's girlfriend, Rosie?" demanded Emily angrily.
The pink-haired girl gave a cheeky grin. "Because you're too old for him, silly."
Being called 'old' made the dark green-haired girl turn beet red in the face and splutter in fury.
"Too old?!" she snapped. "I'm NOT too old! He and I were born in the same year, and I'm turning 16 this coming summer."
"Too bad." shrugged Rosie innocently. "Because by then, Thomas will have fallen in love with me."
"Oh ho ho ho..." Emily mumbled dangerously. "I don't think so, missy!"
Diesel, who was walking by and minding his own business, saw the two girls arguing and grew delighted with the sight.
"Well, well, well." The devious black-haired boy said in an oily voice. "Sounds like a cat-fight is about to begin." Thinking it would be fun, he clasped both hands to his mouth and shouted out... "CAT-FIGHT!"
This attracted the attention of lots of students (mostly Arry, Bert, Dennis, and few other boys not from the Smelter classroom) and they all started to crowd around Emily and Rosie, who were so busy arguing that they didn't even notice the crowd around them.
"Cat-fight! Cat-fight!" The boys chanted, wanting some action.
Nearby, Thomas and Percy were both walking down the pathway, talking about (what else?) Duel Monsters.
"One of the cards I got from my half of the Booster Box is this." While speaking, Percy held up a card, which was a warrior-type monster card. "Gilford the Lightning."
"Quite a powerful monster." said Thomas, smiling. "And it has a killer effect to boot."
That was when the two boys started to hear the crowd's voices from nearby.
"That...doesn't sound so good." Percy mumbled.
The two boys raced over to the gathered crowd to see what was happening.
"What's going on here?" demanded Thomas.
"You two were about to miss the fight of the century!" grinned Arry.
"Between Emily and Rosie!" Bert added.
In an instant, Thomas knew he had to stop it. "Out of my way!"
He pushed through the crowd until he reached the two girls.
"Emily, Rosie!" The blue-haired boy shouted out. "Emily! Rosie! Stop this fighting, right this instant!"
Unfortunately, the two girls didn't hear him. They were far too busy pushing and shoving each other around to pay any attention.
"Hag!" shouted Emily.
"Ms. Bossy pants!" insulted Rosie.
"HEY!" Thomas shouted once more. This time, it got the girls' attention. "Why are you two trying to kill each other?"
"Umm... uh... well..." Emily stammered, trying to figure out a reason.
"She started it!" Rosie yelled, pointing accusingly at Emily. "She called me a hag!"
"Oh yeah?" growled Emily, getting into the pink-haired girl's face. "You were the one who called me old!"
"Enough!" groaned Thomas, feeling a headache coming on. "Why were you two even fighting in the first place?"
That was when Diesel spoke up. "Isn't it obvious, Thomas?" he asked deviously. "They were both fighting over who deserves to be your girlfriend."
"W-What?" Emily blushed in embarrassment. "T-That's not-"
"It so IS true." interrupted Diesel. "The very look on your face proves it. Same with Rosie over here."
Now it was Thomas's turn to blush in embarrassment. Why, oh why was he nearly always attracting the attention of girls around his age?
"Can't we find a way to settle this peacefully?" The blue-haired boy asked wearily.
This gave Diesel another devious idea. Which was a way to humiliate Emily... and also a way to make some quick money.
"Why not this? Next Monday after school, we'll hold a duel in the schoolyard?" offered Diesel. "I think it might help settle things."
"That's a great idea!" said Rosie in an instant.
But Emily thought something was up. Diesel knew that she was still a newcomer to the game, and that Rosie was also a top duelist. Was all of this a ploy just to get her humiliated?
"What are you up to, Diesel?" The dark green-haired girl asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing." Diesel innocently answered, though he was secretly lying. "Although you are a newbie to Duel Monsters, Rosie here shouldn't be a problem if someone like Thomas can beat her, right?"
"That's true." agreed Emily, remembering how she took notice of Rosie's deck during her duel with Thomas.
"Sorry, Emily, but I know what you're thinking." Rosie spoke up. "Don't think you're going to beat me just because my darling Thomas beat me!"
Diesel smirked to himself. Yes, this would be fun, indeed.
"If Thomas can beat you-" said Emily hotly. "-then, so help me, so can I. Bring it on!'
Just then, the bell rang. Emily and Rosie glared at each other.
"Next Monday, after school, schoolyard." Rosie stated.
Emily agreed to it. "You got it, sister."
And thus, the two rivals walked away in a huff. The crowd also had broken away, leaving Diesel to be met up with Arry, Bert, and Dennis.
"What'd you do, Diesel?" asked Dennis.
"Oh, nothing too serious, Dennis." grinned Diesel, rubbing his hands together. "Just came up with a plan to make a little extra cash... and totally humiliate emerald-head there."
"How so?" Bert quizzed.
"That's simple, we're gonna sell tickets." Diesel answered. "No doubt lots of people will want to see a champion, former or not, duel against a newbie like Emily. Think about it. With so much publicity, we could become rich!"
"That's the best idea I've ever heard of." smirked Arry.
"You sure are smart, Diesel." Dennis added, praising his friend (leader).
"Yes, I know." said Diesel smugly.
The four boys laughed mischievously to themselves as they walked back towards the school.
Title: The Queen of Copycats, Part 1
Later on inside the building after fifth period, Mavis, Toby, and Edward, having heard of what was going to happen on Monday after school from Emily, were shocked.
"You're gonna duel Rosie?" Mavis gawked.
"Yes." confirmed Emily simply.
"But she's a former champion!" protested Toby.
"'Former' being the keyword." Emily pointed out. "If Thomas can beat her, then so can I."
"Remember your duel against Lady?" Edward reminded.
"Yes, I do remember it. But I can learn to grow stronger if I keep dueling."
Mavis, Toby, and Edward each sighed; Emily was going to be tricky to convince. Just then, Gordon, Henry, and James each walked by.
"Hey, did you guys hear?" asked Gordon excitedly. "Diesel is selling tickets for the big duel between Emily and Rosie."
"The people who buy tickets get entered in a draw at the end for a chance to win big money!" James added.
"Big money?" blinked Emily.
"Tickets cost £5.00." explained Henry. "After the duel is finished, a draw is then performed. The winning ticket earns that person all of the money that was collected."
Gordon remained excited. "Are you three gonna buy a ticket?"
"No way!" Mavis shook her head in an instant.
"Count me out." Toby added.
"Me neither." Edward threw in.
"Suit yourself." shrugged James. "More money for me."
"You mean me." Gordon insisted.
"No, me!"
"Don't you both mean me?" Henry threw in.
Mavis facepalmed at the three older boy's immaturity, while Edward and Toby both sighed in response. Emily, meanwhile, was looking at her deck (which showed the Wingweaver monster card at the bottom).
"So, that's what Diesel is up to." she thought to herself. "Trying to make a quick buck by scamming people with our duel. Well, I won't let him or Rosie win."
(elsewhere...)
Later that evening, inside the Vulcan residence, Rosie was alone in her room looking over her deck - the same one she used against Thomas.
"I could use my old deck." The pink-haired girl thought to herself, but then shook her head. "But Emily would likely be expecting me to use it. I need something new to use." Her mind began to trail back to her duel against Thomas. "Maybe I need a new deck... Something with a little more power...and balance."
After thinking long and hard on what to do, she smiled the moment an idea popped into her head.
"Of course." Rosie realized. "If I copy the greatest duelist, I CAN become the next greatest duelist."
Without wasting anymore time, Rosie raced out of the house and to the Card Shop at the mall, hoping that the shop would be selling what she would need.
(elsewhere...)
Inside the Sterling residence, Emily was in her room working on her homework. As she worked, she was thinking about the upcoming duel.
"I could reconstruct my deck a bit." Emily said to herself, but then remembered some of Thomas's words... "No. I trust my cards very much. I can't do something like that."
Suddenly, there was a knock on her bedroom door.
"Emily, honey, there's a letter here for you." came the voice of Mrs. Sterling.
"For me?" asked Emily. "Who's it from?"
The door opened and Emily's Mother walked in holding an envelop in her left hand.
"It's from that very nice man, Mr. Crawford." she answered.
"Discord?" asked Emily, taking the envelop. "What would he be sending me a letter for?"
Carefully, she opened the envelop up and inside was a letter addressed to her. This is what it said:
"Dear Emily, I've heard about how you tried to help Thomas-boy when he was upset after his heartbreaking lost to Spencer-boy by dueling against a more experienced duelist like Lady Stone. And although you lost, you've still helped Thomas-boy regain his confidence and passion for Duel Monsters. I had a special prize prepared for you as a way to thank you for helping him, but I forgot to give it to you. So I've sent it to you by mail. Thank you for helping Thomas-boy.
Signed, Discord."
Emily reached into the envelop and pulled out a Booster Pack with purple and gold trimmings.
"I wonder what could be in the pack." The dark green-haired girl wondered, opening the packed and looking over the cards, gasping at what she saw. "Good heavens..."
What were the cards? We'll have to find out later.
(elsewhere...)
Later on in the week, it was the night before the big duel... Within the Vulcan residence, Rosie was in her room, and had finished building her new deck.
"And there we go." she rejoiced happily. "Now my deck is as powerful as Thomas's. Let's see Emily try to beat me, now."
A few familiar cards used by Thomas (Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast, Multiply, Watapon, Kuriboh, Multiply, Magical Hats, Summoned Skull, etc.) could be seen. Yikes! What does she have planned with this deck?
(elsewhere...)
Finally, it was the big day... Inside Sodor High School at lunch hour, Arry and Bert both were getting students to buy tickets.
"Step right up!" called Arry. "Buy a ticket for afterschool's duel."
"Afterwhich will be the draw for the prize money." added Bert.
The tickets were selling like hotcakes, thus making Arry and Bert both feel very proud. Diesel soon showed up to talk to his two friends/toadies.
"How much have we raised today?" The devious black-haired boy asked.
"About over £700." said Arry.
Diesel grinned big. "Combined with the amount we made the last few days, that adds up to a grand total of £3559!"
"Ooh, this is your best scheme yet, Diesel!" Bert chuckled.
"Don't I know it?" grinned Diesel. "Those suckers made it all easy."
With that said, the three Smelter Teens went back to work selling tickets. How does Diesel's plan work, you could be asking? It's easy. Just sell the tickets like normal. However, when it comes time to draw the winning number, make tickets that don't match any of the correct number. That way, no matter what number is drawn, all the paying people would always lose.
(elsewhere...)
Over at the Tidmouth Teens' usual spot in the cafeteria, Thomas was talking to Emily.
"Well, today's the duel." The blue-haired boy was saying. "Good luck, Emily."
"Thanks." Emily smiled slightly, but then felt unhappy. "I hope you're not too bothered that Rosie and I are dueling over you."
"It's quite alright."
It was then, Toby, Edward, Gordon, Henry, James, and Percy all showed up.
"You ready for this afternoon, Emily?" asked Edward.
"I'm ready." Emily nodded.
"Did you make any changes to your deck before hand?" Percy asked curiously.
Emily shook her head. "Not too many."
"What?!" gasped James. "Why n-"
"Because I trust my cards very much." Emily interrupted, looking to Thomas. "That's something Thomas taught me."
Thomas blushed and smiled. Rosie, meanwhile, walked by this point and huffed in jealousy.
"Just you wait, Emily." Rosie warned hotly. "When we duel, I'll defeat you!"
With that said, Rosie walked away, leaving Emily upset.
"Don't listen to her, Emily." said Thomas kindly. "I believe you'll win."
Edward nodded. "Me too."
"But there's one thing I don't get." Percy suddenly said. "When we first met Rosie, she was as sweet-natured as honey, even when she moved to Sodor. But right now, she's acting like a you-know-what."
"Rosie's just probably upset seeing Thomas with Emily." suggested James.
"She'll be even more upset once Emily wins." added Henry.
"You mean IF Emily wins." Gordon pointed out. "Rosie might still have an ace up her sleeve."
"I sure hope my deck can help me." Emily thought to herself, holding her deck up.
(elsewhere...)
Later in the afternoon, the time had come. Everyone was gathered in the schoolyard to watch the duel between Emily and Rosie. Diesel held a microphone and spoke to the crowd.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" The devious black-haired boy announced. "Welcome to this evening's duel for your entertainment. Our duelists are none other than Emily Sterling and former champion Rosie Vulcan!"
Everyone applauded for both duelists. While Emily didn't seem to have changed her appearance, Rosie was now wearing a blue jean jacket like a cape... Weird, right? Over in the crowd, Thomas, Percy, Gordon, and James were watching and clapping when Stanley came up to them.
"Sorry I'm late." The gray-haired boy said in exhaustion. "I had some stuff to do back in my homeroom class."
"You didn't miss anything, Stanley." Percy pointed out.
Meanwhile, Diesel continued to speak. "After the duel-" he was saying. "-we will have the cash prize draw. Whichever number we draw will win all the money collected."
The crowd members who bought tickets looked at them, hoping that their ticket was the lucky one. Diesel sensed their thoughts and smirked to himself.
"Those easily-fooled idiots have no idea what they're in for." he thought to himself, before speaking out loud... "And so, let's get this duel going!"
Emily and Rosie walked forth and activated their Duel Disks.
"I hope you're ready, Emily!" Rosie called out. "Once I win this duel, then Thomas will see just how wonderful I truly am!"
"I won't let you win like that, Rosie!" insisted Emily hotly.
Diesel spoke into the microphone once more. "Let the cat-fight—err... I mean, duel, begin!"
With that said, both girls drew their opening hands and began their match.
"DUEL!" exclaimed Emily and Rosie at once (LP: 4000) x2.
With the audience...
"This should be a good duel." commented Stanley.
"Yeah." Percy agreed quietly.
"Be careful out there, Emily." Thomas said to himself quietly.
Back in the duel field...
"If you don't mind, I'll take the first move." Emily suggested, looking to her hand.
Turn One: Emily Sterling (LP: 4000)
Deck: (35)
Current Hand (5): Gemini Elf, Shining Angel, Petit Angel, Super Junior Confrontation, and Book of Secret Arts
Her hand consisted of Gemini Elf, Shining Angel, Petit Angel, Super Junior Confrontation, and Book of Secret Arts.
"Not too bad, but I could so do a little better." Emily thought to herself, taking one card from her hand. "I summon Petit Angel in defense mode!"
Appearing onto the field was a small pink creature with wings (Level: 3/DEF: 900).
"That's all for now."
"Aww, it's so cute!" cooed Rosie, before scowling a bit. "Too bad I have to destroy it."
With that said, she drew her card.
Turn Two: Rosie Vulcan (LP: 4000)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (6): Monster Reincarnation, Dark Renewal, Dark Magician, Polymerization, Berfomet, and Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts
Taking three cards from her hand, Rosie held them up as they began to shine with a bright white light.
"I activate Polymerization, and use it to fuse, from my hand, Berfomet with Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts!"
This caused the audience to gasp.
"That's one of Thomas's usual opening moves!" A tall, orange-haired girl named Marion cried out.
"What's going on?" asked Timothy, a shorter boy with dark blue hair.
On cue, Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts and Berfomet both briefly appeared on the field before fusing together.
"I fusion summon Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast!" cried Rosie dramatically.
The mighty two-headed beast appeared on the field (Level: 6/ATK: 2100/DEF: 1800). Back in the audience...
"Um, Thomas?" Percy whispered to Thomas. "That's usually one of YOUR opening moves, right?"
"Yes." nodded Thomas. "So, why is Rosie using those cards?"
Back in the duel field...
"Chimera-" commanded Rosie. "-destroy Emily's Petit Angel with Pulverizing Pounce!"
Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast obeyed, pouncing onto Petit Angel and destroying her in an instant.
"Your Petit Angel has been crushed to pieces!"
"Why are you using Thomas's cards instead of your original deck?" demanded Emily. "What's the meaning of this, Rosie?"
"That's easy." Rosie smiled in a lovestruck way. "Since I idolize Thomas so much, especially since he's soooo cute, I decided to simply copy his deck." Images of certain cards floated behind her. "Over the course of the week, I've been buying packs and packs containing cards used by Yugi, a.k.a. Thomas, in the show. Since the complete deck is out of stock, that's how I've built my darling Thomas's own deck. It cost me TONS of money, but it was worth it!"
This earned some gasps from the whole crowd, but especially from both Thomas and Percy due to what the pink-haired girl had just said.
"She didn't!" exclaimed Percy.
"She did." groaned Thomas, becoming very embarrassed.
Gordon and James both, however, thought it was a great joke.
"This is too rich!" laughed Gordon.
"Rosie's not just a fangirl-" snorted James. "-she's also a copycat stalker!"
The two older boys laughed, causing Thomas to blush in complete embarrassment.
"Kill me now, Percy... Please!" The blue-haired boy whispered to his best friend.
Stanley got upset with Gordon and James laughing. "Stop laughing at Thomas, right now!" he demanded. "You two should be ashamed of yourselves."
"Why?" asked James, still laughing. "We're not the one's who copied Thomas's deck just to win or impress him."
"It doesn't matter!" scolded Stanley. "It's still not nice laughing at others just because of that."
Over to Emily, she had to agree with the gray-haired boy.
"He's right." The dark green-haired girl pointed out. "How would you like it if people laughed at you?"
That shut Gordon and James both up in an instant.
"Anyway, it's my turn!" The dark green-haired girl drew her card. "Draw!"
Turn Three: Emily Sterling (LP: 4000)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (5): Gemini Elf, Shining Angel, Super Junior Confrontation, Book of Secret Arts, and Lightning Vortex
"For my turn, I'll summon Gemini Elf in attack mode!" Emily laid her card onto a monster field slot on her Duel Disk. "Come forth, my monster!"
The twin elves appeared on the field (Level: 4/ATK: 1900/DEF: 900).
"And then, from my hand, I'll activate the Spell card Lightning Vortex." continued Emily, slotting a card into her Duel Disk.
Bolts of lightning struck Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast and destroyed it.
"By sending one card from my hand to the graveyard-" Emily explained, discarding a monster card called Shining Angel from her hand to the graveyard. "-all of your face-up monsters are destroyed!"
But Rosie wasn't too worried, because her graveyard started shining white light.
"When Chimera is destroyed-" The pink-haired girl was saying. "-I can special summon back one of its fusion materials. And I choose Berfomet in defense mode!"
Berfomet appeared on the field in a defensive stance (Level: 5/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1800). The battle phase then began...
"Gemini Elf, attack Berfomet, now!" called Emily.
Gemini Elf obeyed, jumping into the air and doing a high kick at the monster, striking and destroying it.
"My turn is over."
Over with Thomas and Percy, both were discussing the possibilities of the duel.
"Emily's doing alright so far." said Percy.
"Yeah, but Rosie's using a copy of my deck." Thomas pointed out. "This means she could know a lot of my strategies."
"That, I do know for a fact."
Over with Rosie, she drew her next card.
Turn Four: Rosie Vulcan (LP: 4000)
Deck: (33)
Current Hand (4): Monster Reincarnation, Dark Renewal, Dark Magician, and Swords of Revealing Light
"I'll begin my turn by setting one card facedown." As the pink-haired girl said this, a facedown card appeared on the field in front of her. From there, Rosie held another card out. "And then, I'll activate the Spell card Monster Reincarnation!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up on the field.
"By discarding one card-" explained Rosie, sending a card from her hand to the graveyard. "-I can add a monster from my graveyard to my hand." As she spoke, a card slipped out of her graveyard, and the pink-haired girl took hold of it. "And I choose to bring back Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts... Return, now!"
To that, the mentioned beast-type monster appeared on the field (Level: 4/ATK: 1500/DEF: 1200). But Rosie wasn't done just yet. She held up her final card.
"Finally, from my hand, I'll activate the Spell card Swords of Revealing Light!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up on the field, just as many large swords made from light rained down onto Emily's field, trapping Gemini Elf and whatever monster Emily cared to summon.
"This prevents you from attacking for three turns." said Rosie. "My turn has ended."
"Three turns!?" Emily gasped.
Some of the crowd started commented on the duel thus far.
"Amazing." admired Marion.
"It's like Rosie knows every one of Thomas's strategies." came from Conner.
"Emily's sure going to have quite a challenge." added Caitlin.
Back in the duel field...
"I can't let Rosie get the upper hand anymore." Emily though to herself, before drawing her card. "My turn, now!"
Turn Five: Emily Sterling (LP: 4000)
Deck: (33)
Current Hand (3): Super Junior Confrontation, Book of Secret Arts, and Maha Vailo
Her drawn card was the Maha Vailo monster card.
"This could help." Taking the card, Emily placed it onto a monster field slot on her Duel Disk. "I summon Maha Vailo in attack mode!"
The blue cloaked magician-like monster appeared on the field (Level: 4/ATK: 1550/DEF: 1400).
"Not so fast!" shouted Rosie, poking a button on her Duel Disk. "Facedown card, open!"
"What?!" gasped Emily.
On command, Rosie's facedown card flipped up and revealed itself.
"Dark Renewal, activate!"
Emily recoiled in response.
"This card activates when the opponent summons a monster. Now by tributing your Maha Vailo, along with my Gazelle-" explained Rosie. "-I can special summon a powerful spellcaster-type from my graveyard. And I choose the card I discarded last turn... Dark Magician!"
The whole crowd gasped. Did Rosie just say that? She has a Dark Magician, too?!
"You...also...have...a...Dark Magician?" Emily slowly asked.
"That's right!" giggled Rosie, as a card slid out of her graveyard. "If I didn't have one of my own, then how would my deck be like Thomas's?"
Either way, a coffin rose from the ground and opened up.
"Show yourself - Dark Magician!"
Maha Vailo and Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts were both forced inside as the coffin closed. A few seconds later, it opened back up, revealing Dark Magician as it jumped out of the coffin and onto the field (Level: 7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100). However, this one looked very different to Thomas's Dark Magician. This one had pale blue skin, blonde hair, and a blue/red outfit. And the rather stoic look was replaced with a cocky smile on his face.
"That's...a Dark Magician?" breathed Thomas, gazing at what was on the duel field. He then drew a card from his deck and looked at it. "It has the same appearance and body... Yet, it looks so much more different than my own."
The card Thomas was looking at was his own Dark Magician monster card (the one with white skin, purple hair, purple outfit, and stoic look). Suddenly, the Duel Spirit of Dark Magician appeared beside his master/friend, causing Thomas to look on in surprise. Nobody else could see it, but him.
"Dark Magician?" wondered Thomas.
Thomas's Dark Magician gave a disapproving scowl to Rosie's Dark Magician, who turned and smirked smugly at the 'copy'.
"That magician is nothing more than an impostor." muttered Dark Magician.
Thomas gave a slight sweatdrop to the OOCness of his Dark Magician. Back in the duel field, Emily knew that with Dark Magician on the field, she was in big trouble.
"I switch Gemini Elf to defense mode." she sighed, turning the card on her Duel Disk sideways. "And end my turn."
The twin elves went into a defensive stance.
"It's my turn!" declared Rosie, drawing a card. "Draw!"
Turn Six: Rosie Vulcan (LP: 4000)
Deck: (32)
Current Hand (1): Thousand Knives
Swords of Revealing Light: 3 Turns
Her drawn card was the Thousand Knives Spell card.
"So sorry, Emily, but your monster won't be around to protect you." The pink-haired girl said cheekily. She slotted the drawn card into a Spell/Trap slot on her Duel Disk. "I activate Thousand Knives!"
The mentioned Spell card materialized face-up on the field.
"Thousand Knives?" Emily blinked.
"This is bad." Thomas mumbled.
"Since I have Dark Magician on my field-" explained Rosie. "-I can destroy one monster on your field. Goodbye, Gemini Elf!"
A large swarm of glowing knives appeared all around Dark Magician, and, with a loud cry, the knives were launched until they struck both elves, destroying them in an instant.
"No!" cried Emily, knowing she was wide open. "Now I'm wide open for a direct attack!"
"That's right!" grinned Rosie, entering the battle phase. "You'll see lots of stars when my attack gets through!" She gave the command... "Dark Magician, attack Emily life points directly with Dark Magic Attack!"
Dark Magician obeyed, firing off a blast from his scepter. The blast struck Emily, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Emily!" called out Thomas.
"Not good!" came from Stanley.
Emily fell to her knees (LP: 1500). "That hurt..."
"Ready to give up?" taunted Rosie. "You don't stand a chance against my mighty Dark Magician."
"Never!" shouted Emily, as she stood back up.
Smiling, Rosie went into a passionate speech (imitating Thomas). "That's the spirit... Never give up! Always believe in the Heart of the Cards. That's what I say!"
"This annoying copycat is really beginning to tick me off!" thought Emily, as she drew her card.
Turn Seven: Emily Sterling (LP: 1500)
Deck: (32)
Current Hand (3): Book of Secret Arts, Super Junior Confrontation, and Shining Friendship
In frustration, due to her not having anything that could beat Dark Magician, Emily decided to play defensive until she could get something stronger out.
"I summon Shining Friendship in defense mode!" she declared, playing her card onto a monster field slot on her Duel Disk.
Appearing onto the field was what looked like a green version of Petit Angel (Level: 4/DEF: 1100).
"My turn is over." Emily sighed.
"You must really love fairies and spellcasters." Rosie commented, just before drawing her next card. "But they're nothing compared to my own cards!"
Turn Eight: Rosie Vulcan (LP: 4000)
Deck: (32)
Current Hand (1): Dark Magician of Chaos
Swords of Revealing Light: Two Turns
"Dark Magician, attack the Shining Friendship!"
Dark Magician obeyed, firing off a blast from his scepter. The blast struck and destroyed Shining Friendship just like that.
"I'm done with my turn." finished Rosie.
Turn Nine: Emily Sterling (LP: 1500)
Deck: (31)
Current Hand (3): Book of Secret Arts, Super Junior Confrontation, and Angelic Gift(!)
Holding up her drawn card, Emily gasped at what it was.
"This is one of Discord's newly made cards." she thought to herself. "And with the situation I'm in, it just might help me." Emily slotted the card into a Spell/Trap slot on her Duel Disk. "I activate the Spell card Angelic Gift!"
"Angelic Gift?" Percy blinked.
"I've never heard of that card before." added Thomas.
On cue, the Angelic Gift Spell card materialized face-up on the field.
"This card allows me to remove a number of fairy-type monsters from my graveyard." explained Emily. "When I do this, I can draw two cards per banished monster. I can remove a minimum of one fairy, up to a maximum of three fairies."
On cue, both the Petit Angel monster card and the Shining Friendship monster card emerged from the graveyard before fading away into oblivion.
"And because I've banished both Petit Angel and Shining Friendship, I can draw four more cards."
Emily held up Magician's Valkyria (Effect Monster), Fairy Queen Autumn (Normal Monster), Fairy's Defender (Trap), and Magic Formula (Equip Spell).
"Next, I'll set one card facedown-" While speaking, she slotted another card into her Duel Disk, and then held out a monster card. "And then, I'll summon Magician's Valkyria in defense mode!"
The teal-armored magician appeared on the field, kneeling in a defensive position (Level: 4/DEF: 1800).
"Then it's my go, again!" announced Rosie, drawing a card. "Draw card!"
Turn Ten: Rosie Vulcan (LP: 4000)
Deck: (31)
Current Hand (1): Dedication through Light and Darkness and Multiply
Swords of Revealing Light: 1 Turn
"Dark Magician, attack the Magician's Valkyria!"
Dark Magician obeyed, charging up a blast of black magic from his scepter.
"I activate a Trap card!" cried Emily, as her facedown card flipped up and revealed itself. "Fairy's Defender! Whenever I suffer an attack of any kind, and I control a level 4 or lower monster, I can trade it in for a fairy-type monster from my hand!"
Magician's Valkyria vanished in a blue streak. Once that was done, Emily held out a monster card from her hand.
"Now, from my hand, I'll special summon Fairy Queen Autumn!"
Appearing in Magician Valkyria's place on the field, was a beautiful looking woman with reddish (almost autumn-like) colored hair, wearing a white gown. Two large, beautiful wings could be seen as well (Level: 7/ATK: 2600/DEF: 1800). Much of the audience was just amazed.
"That monster's strong enough to take out Rosie's Dark Magician!" commented Oliver.
Rosie suddenly grinned. "Is it?"
"What are you talking about?" asked Emily.
"From my hand, I'll activate a Quick-Play Spell!" announced Rosie, holding a card out. "Dedication through Light and Darkness!"
The mentioned Spell card flipped face-up and revealed itself.
"It lets me tribute one Dark Magician in order to special summon one Dark Magician of Chaos from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard!"
The crowd gasped.
"Dark Magician of Chaos?" asked Percy, looking quite worried.
"That doesn't sound too good." James commented.
"Well, it isn't." Stanley said grimly. "It's one of the mightiest creatures you'll ever meet."
Back in the duel field...
"Stanley's right." nodded Rosie. "And I'm about to unleash it on you, Emily!" She placed a card onto a monster field slot on her Duel Disk. "Chaos Mage, arise!"
Rosie's Dark Magician disappeared in a blue streak. From there, appearing in Dark Magician's place on the field, was a monster that looked almost exactly like Thomas's Magician of Black Chaos (Level: 8/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2600).
"That's Dark Magician of Chaos?" Emily gasped in shock. "But it looks exactly like the Magician of Black Chaos!"
"That may be-" acknowledged Rosie. "-but my magician is so much stronger, and even has a monster effect. Every time he destroys a monster in battle, that monster is banished." She resumed the battle phase. "Now attack with Scepter Strike!"
Dark Magician of Chaos obeyed, firing off a blast from his scepter. The blast struck and destroyed Fairy Queen Autumn. Emily grimaced as she took slight battle damage (LP: 1300).
"That's not all." Rosie went on. "On my end phase, I can add a Spell card from my graveyard to my hand." The Monster Reincarnation Spell card slid out of her graveyard, and she took hold of it. "So, what do you think of me, now?"
Emily was mad. "You're nothing but a copycat who just won't take a hint!"
"Say what you want." Rosie retorted. "But I will NOT let you have Thomas! Do you hear me? I WON'T let you take him away from me!"
This duel... had officially became a cat-fight to the death.
