I know, I know burn me at the torch after you read this chapter.

Duel of the Amazons
Sherry felt her body return to normal as the teleportation ended and she opened her eyes to see nothing, but blackness. She furrowed her brow in confusion before she began to walk forward slowly with her hand outstretched. The French duelist walked for a few minutes before her hand hit something she felt its surface before deciding that it was a door. She moved her hand around the door before she found a handle and pushed open the door to reveal a room lit by a single torch. On the other side of the room something sparkled in the light of the torch intrigued by this Sherry entered the room before cautiously making her way to it. Once she got to it she saw that it was a crimson chest piece with silver highlights within a display case. Not knowing if there were any dangers in this place she decided to take the armor just in case. She put on the chest piece along with the other assortments of armor. When she was done, she looked like a paladin from the middle ages, but her helmet was strangely like the one from her duel runner. She took out her sword and light from the torch bounced off it before hitting the wall to her right and undenounced to her hitting a key hole. Then suddenly she heard a loud rumbling sound before the way to her right suddenly started to rise and light began to filter in causing her shield her eyes. She put her hand down when the rumbling stopped and she saw that the entire room was now lit. Looking around she saw that besides the display case nothing else was in the room and the door she had come in had vanished.
Sherry turned towards the exit that had opened before walking toward it, but as she walked she saw it was more of a tunnel and as she walked a roaring noise could be heard getting louder. She stopped for a second before realizing that this seemed very familiar it felt and sounded like the tunnels she had walked down to get to the arena at duel stadiums. "But why would a world full of duel spirits need a dueling arena?" She thought to herself before shaking her head and walking forward again. Soon she reached the end of the tunnel and found herself on the far side of a massive colosseum full of cheering spectators in robes and tunics. She raised her eyebrow, "Why did this look like the Roman Colosseum and why did these people look like people from ancient times?" She was torn from these thoughts as the crowd got louder and from across the colosseum a door began to rise like her's had. Once it had risen fully she saw a figure dressed in a costume walking towards her. As the figure got closer she saw they were dressed like the duel monster Harpies Queen, but their hair was yellow and not greenish blue, and it was big and long.
"So this is my opponent, a little toy knight?" The figure laughed.
"Opponent? Look I don't know what's going on here, but I demand an explanation." Sherry demanded.
"Well we are in a colosseum, so what do you think is going on? We're supposed to fight each other, besides that there's nothing you really need to know." The figure told her before thrusting feathered arm out. There was a slight hiss as some of the feathers extended outward and a small slot appeared on the opposite end. All in all, it looked kind of like a Duel Disk.
Sherry stared at it for a second before it hit her, the figure was a duelist. But monsters couldn't duel. Could they? "Who are you?"
The figure laughed before becoming serious, "I'll tell you what. If you can lower my life points down to 3000 or less, then I'll tell you what you what's going on here. Sound good?"
Sherry thought about this for a minute. It didn't look like there was any way out of here and the voice had told them they would have to pass a test. Was beating this figure her test? She decided she might as well go along with it since nothing else seemed to be happening. She nodded to the figure, "I accept then, but you'll soon find this knight has some fight." At these words her shield let out a hiss as the top half slid to the left and lights came on revealing that it was a Duel Disk. She was shocked for a second before she smiled.
"Let's DUEL!"
Sherry 4000LP- Figure 4000LP
"Ladies first." The figure said taking her card, "I summon my Cyber Harpie." On her field appeared a beautiful feathered woman with long maroon hair and long claws. Sherry shivered remembering what happened last time she saw that monster.
Cyber Harpie Lady 1800/1300 Winged-Beast Level 4
"Then I'll throw two facedowns."
Sherry 4000LP-Figure 4000LP
"My move then." Sherry drew her card before looking at her hand and formulating a plan. I need to get her down to under 3000 fast and with these cards I can do that. "I play the spell card Polymerization to fuse my Sacred Knight's Spearholder and Horse of the Floral Knights to create Centaur Mina."
The two monsters appeared before swirling around each other. When they stopped in their place was a creature with the body and legs of a horse and the upper body of a woman who carried a sword and shield.
Centaur Mina 2200/1600 Beast Warrior Level 6
"Now destroy her Cyber Harpie!" Sherry's monster galloped forward before swinging her sword down at her foe.
"Not so fast I activate my Forbidden Lance lowering its attack by 800." Suddenly Centaur Mina's swords were replaced by a lance that ended in a sword.
Centaur Mina 1400/1600 Beast Warrior Level 6
"Now time to show them a real attack Cyber Harpie cut her monster down to size!" Cyber Harpie flew forward with a screech before slashing Sherry's monster. Centaur Mina held where she was slashed before shattering as she was destroyed.
Sherry 3600LP-Figure 4000LP
"I end my turn with a face down."
Sherry 3600LP-Figure 4000LP
"My turn. I summon Harpie Harpist." On the figure's field appeared a monster like Cyber Harpie, but with long fiery hair and a harp.
Harpie Harpist 1700/600 Winged-Beast Level 4
The figure frowned before speaking again, "I'm sad that this duel has to end so soon, but it has to be done. Cyber Harpie, Harpie Harpist! Attack her now and end this duel!" Her monsters screeched before flying at Sherry ready to end the duel.
"This duel's just getting started! I play my facedown Negate Attack." A vortex appeared in the two Harpie's path causing them to return back to where they started.
"Good to see you're still in this duel. I'll set one card facedown."
Sherry 3600LP-Figure 4000LP
"My move then. I play Monster Reborn to bring back Mina then I summon Fleur Synchron. Then I tune my two monsters together." Mina appeared on her field again and was joined by a little bipedal flower. Then Fleur Synchron split into two balls of the that became rings that surrounded Mina, then a flash of light shot through the ring and he mythical beast, "I synchro summon Chevalier De Fleur!" She called as the light faded and where the two beasts had been now stood a female knight with a red cape and large pink feathers going backward on her helmet.
Chevalier De Fleur 2700/2300 Warrior Level 8
"Now attack her Harpie Harpist. Go Chevalier Slash!" She called as her knight drew its sword before lunging at its foe.
The figure chuckled before speaking, "It seems that helmet of yours is affecting your brain because it seems you forgot all about my facedown card and now it's gonna cost you. Go Mirror Force! With this card all of your attacking monsters are destroyed." She crossed her arms in closed her eyes confident she had stopped her opponent.
"I didn't forget." Sherry said causing Mai's eyes to snap open, "You see my Chevalier De Fleur has an effect that once per turn I can negate the activation of a spell or trap card. And that's just what she's going to do." Mai watched as her trap card shattered before the same thing happened to her Cyber Harpist once it had been slashed.
Sherry 3600LP-Figure 3000LP
Sherry grinned, "Now uphold your oath."
"Ok a deal's a deal. First of all, my name is Mai Valentine the best female duelist in the world." She said putting her hands on her hips proudly.
"Mai Valentine?" Sherry said to herself before it hit her, "You're the Mai Valentine!? You were my idol!"
"Wow a fan. Well it's nice to see that someone still appreciates my work."
"Of course you've inspired hundreds of female duelists."
"And here I thought only the big 3 got fans."
"The big three? Do you mean Yugi Motu, Seto Kaiba, and Joey Wheeler?"
"Yep those three always got the fame and fortune, but after an incident I ended up getting over it when I was reminded that friends are more important. But enough about me I still need to tell you why you're here."
"I remember the voice telling me about a test that I had to take."
"Yep well to help answer part of that I am your test, but you must also overcome something inside you to have any chance of beating me."
"Overcome something deep inside me?" But what could that be then she remembered how she couldn't let go of what she had done to her friends for Z-ONE. "There is one thing."
"Oh what is it?"
"Well I betrayed my friends to try to get my parents back and even almost killed two of them. They forgave me for what I did, but I still can't forgive myself." A tear dropped down her cheek as she confessed this.
Mai pursed her lips,' This girl is just like me, but she did it for something worthwhile.' "I know how you feel."
"You do?"
"Yes you see I once betrayed my friends as well, but what I wanted was power. I did some horrible things during that time and like you I still don't completely forgive myself. My lover was able to get me to let it go, but it still haunts me." A few tears started to roll down her face before she wiped them away and composed herself, "But enough of that you still have to defeat me and just remember if you keep it in for too long it will only hurt you and those around you."
"Thank you Mai and I will keep that in mind. I end my turn with a face down."
Sherry 3600LP-Mai 3000LP
Mai drew her card before formulating a strategy, "First I summon Harpie Channeler." On her field appear a feathered woman like the other two, but with a staff and a pair of handcuffs and her feathers were a deep black.
Harpie Channeler 1400/1300 Winged-Beast Level 4
"Now I'll use her effect; you see by discarding one harpie card from my hand I can summon another one from my deck, so I'll discard my Harpie Lady to summon Harpie Queen from my deck." On her field with her arms crossed defensively appeared a women dressed like Mai was, but with long greenish blue hair.
Harpie Queen 1900/1200 Winged-Beast Level 4
"Then I'll equip Phalanx Pike to Cyber Harpie with this she'll gain 500 attack points for every monster in my graveyard that shares her name."
"That would be impressive, but I'll have to stop you by activating my Chevalier's effect."
Mai watched as her card shattered, but then to Sherry's shock she smirked, "You may have stopped my Pike, but now you can't stop this. I play my Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation. With this whenever I have 3 or more harpies on my field I can destroy as many monsters you control up to the number of Harpie monsters on my field and then you take damage equal to your monster's total attack, but since you only have one you'll only take your Chevalier's attack points."
"Oh no!" Sherry cried as the three harpies flew in formation one behind the other, then a light blue aura appeared around them taking the shape of a huge phoenix. The phoenix then slammed into her monster blasting it backwards before it exploded knocking her off her feet. She hit the ground hard, but lucky the armor took most of the impact.
Sherry 900LP-Mai 3000LP
"I think I've dealt enough damage to you for this turn."
Sherry 900LP-Mai 3000LP
Sherry rolled over onto her stomach before slowly staggering up from the ground. She turned back towards Mai wearing a glare on her face. She had been fooled by such a textbook ploy and she had paid for it. Determined not to let it happen again she took her card before playing it, "I play Card of Sanctity which makes us draw until we have 6 cards in our hand." She drew her cards before coming up with a way to make a comeback. "Then I summon Familiar Knight in defense mode, then I'll play one card face down."
Sherry 600LP-Mai 3000LP
'She must have something up her sleeve if that's it, but this would still be a quick way to end this duel. Sorry girl, but I'm not going to just hand you the victory.' Mai thought as she drew her card, "I play my Hieratic Summon spell card. With this card while I have 3 or more harpies in on my field I can summon Harpie's Pet Dragon to the field from my deck."
Sherry watched in shock as red energy shot out of the three harpies and into the air. The energy collided creating a small explosion, when the smoke from it faded where it had been now floated a dark pink dragon with a collar around its neck.
Harpie's Pet Dragon 2000/2500 Dragon Level 7
"She also gets an add 300 attack and defense points for all Harpie Ladies on my field."
Harpie's Pet Dragon 2900/2500 Dragon Level 7
"Now attack her knight! Incinerate it like the dragons of old with your Fearsome Fire Blast!" Her monster roared before throwing its head back before shooting it forward and letting loose a torrent of flames that incinerate her knight forcing Sherry to shield her eyes.
"My knight may be gone, but his effect now activates which allows us to each summon a level 4 monster from our hands. I'll choose my Queen's Knight." On her field appeared a female knight with red armor and blonde hair.
Queen's Knight 1500/1600 Warrior Level 4
"I'll summon another Cyber Harpie. Thank you for that now allow me to return the favor Cyber Harpie destroy her Queen's Knight!"
"Not this time! I play my facedown Waboku with this card I take no damage for the rest of this turn and my monster can't be destroyed."
Mai smiled she remembered the last time someone had used that card on her. "Very well then you survive one more turn, but next turn my Harpie's will take you down."
Sherry 900LP-Mai 3000LP
"I don't think so Mai cause I'm about to get my second wind and it's going to be a duesy. First I play King's Knight and when him and Queen's Knight are on the field I can then summon my Jack's Knight from my deck." On here field appeared a bulky knight with orange armor and a tall skinny knight with dark blue armor. "Then I play my spell card Polymerization to fuse my three knights together to summon Arcana Knight Joker!" Her three knights began to swirl around each other before there was a flash of light. When it faded in their place now stood a large knight covered in gold and black armor. His shoulder armor was very large and behind him flew a black cape. His most distinguishable features though were the large sword he carried in his left hand and the bulky gauntlet on his right that had a large blade sticking out of it.
Arcana Knight Joker 3800/2500 Warrior Level 9
"3800 attack points!?" Mai yelled. 'Where on earth did she get something that powerful?'
"Yep and now your dragon is going to feel the each and every one of them! Arcana Knight Joker slay her dragon with Monarch's Sword!" Her knight nodded before rushing Mai's monster. Once it was close enough her knight jumped into the air before slashing downward with its sword decapitating Harpie's Pet Dragon.
Sherry 900LP-Mai 2100LP
"With that I'll end my turn."
Sherry 900LP-Mai 2100LP
Mai was livid, her dragon had been destroyed and now she was facing down an overdressed knight with 3800 attack points in short things could not possibly get much worse. She drew her card before looking at her hand. 'Nothing! Wait? Yes, that will do and it will end the duel as well' She chuckled, "I play Spell Reproduction, with this card by discarding two spell cards I get back one from my graveyard."
"Your Phoenix Formation?" Sherry ventured.
"Yep." She said as she put the two cards in the graveyard then took her Phoenix Formation, "And I think I'll use it! Now I'm sure you remember how it works, but just in case let me remind you. When I play this card I target as many of your monsters as I have Harpies I, then they are destroyed and you lose life points equal to their attack points. But if that's too complex here's the simple version. You lose."
"If your plan works you're right, lucky it won't work." Sherry said as the Harpie's began to get into formation and the fire began to cloak them.
"What!?" The harpie's had now begun to fly at the knight.
"You didn't think my knight would have so many attack point and not have a way to defend itself did you? My knight has a special ability that allows me to negate any effect that targets it once per turn by discarding a card of the same type. So I'll just discard this spell card and negate your Phoenix formation." As she said this her knight's sword glowed before it used it to send a wind at the flaming harpies snuffing out their attack and sending them back to Mai's side of the field.
"Grr fine I'll switch my Harpie's to defense mode and end my turn."
Sherry 900LP-Mai 2100LP
"I draw. Now Arcana Knight Joker destroy her Harpie Channeler!" Arcana Knight Joker jumped forward before slashing her in two. "With that I'll end my turn."
Sherry 600LP-Mai 2100LP
"My move." 'How am I going to get around this thing? It's like one of the Egyptian Gods only weaker' She thought with a chill going up her spine when she remembered last time she had seen one of those cards, 'Hmm maybe I should take a page out of Joey's book and improvise I mean what's the worst that can happen? Alright I guess it's worth a shot.', "I summon a monster in defense mode then I'll end my turn."
Sherry 900LP-Mai 2100LP
'Strange though it is good to her on the defensive instead of me.' "I draw then I'll attack your facedown monster." When her monster struck, the card flipped up revealing a amazoness women carrying a gold chain with a grapple at the end before she was destroyed.
"Thank you for that. Now I activate her effect, by paying 1500 life points I can take a card from your deck or hand and add it to my own." A chain shot out of Mai's graveyard and into Sherry's deck, "I know you're a good duelist and a good duelist always has more than one copy of an important card in their deck if they can afford to, so I choose your Fleur Synchron." The chain pulled back from Sherry's deck to where it came, but now before depositing a card into its master's hand.
"I'll end my turn with a facedown."
Sherry 900LP-Mai 2100LP
"My move first I play Monster Reborn to bring back my Harpie's Pet Dragon. Next I summon Fleur Synchron. Now I think it's time for me to try this synchro summoning. I tune Fleur Synchron with my Harpie's Pet Dragon!" Fleur Synchron morphed into two balls of light that became rings, then they surrounded Mai's dragon before there was a blinding flash of light. "I synchro summon Harpie Tyrant Dragon!" The light suddenly turned deep crimson before fading to reveal a monster like the dragon used to summon it, but much more ferocious. First it had enormous wings that were connected to its equally large arms that showed off large talons. Its body was much bulkier, but was adorned with battle scars despite this they did not decrease the dragon's beauty. Finally, its head was covered in numerous crimson feathers and it wore a large green headdress with light crimson stripes and a golden outline.
Harpie Tyrant Dragon-Synchro/Dragon 3400/3700 Level 9
Sherry stared in awe as the mighty dragon roared, then she let out a sigh of relief when she saw its attack power was weaker than her knights, "Impressive dragon, but its attack power is still weaker than my knights."
"Not for long, but thanks to its effect it gains 300 attack points for each Harpie on my field."
"Oh no you have three Harpies on your field!"
"Exactly so my dragon's attack points become a terrifying 4300!"
Harpie Tyrant Dragon-Synchro/Dragon 4300/3700 Level 9
"Now attack with Tyrant Fire Storm!" Her dragon nodded before leaning its neck backwards then it let loose a torrent of crimson flames that engulfed Arcana Knight Joker. When they faded, nothing was left, but ashes.
Sherry 400LP-Mai 600LP
"With that I'll end my turn."
Sherry 400LP-Mai 600LP
"W-why didn't you attack with your Harpie's?"
"Believe me I would have liked to, but since my dragon is no longer a pet to my Harpies it prevents them from attacking along with any other monster on my field. It may be a bit of a hindrance, but it's worth it."
"Interesting." Was all Sherry said before looking at her cards, 'What am I going to do I don't have anything that can take on something that powerful? I-I'm gonna lose a-and then I'll never see Crow again. I'll have failed my test just like I failed them as a friend when I betrayed them.'
Giving up so easily? I expected more.
'Who said that?'
I am the Crimson Dragon.
Sherry felt her breath catch in her throat, 'The crimson dragon? It is an honor, but why have you come to me?'
You are the mate of one of my followers Crow correct?
She blushed at the word mate, 'Um yes'
Then since you are important to him, you are important to me. With the one known as Yusei gone another must help the signer's face their foes and that being is you. You have already shown that you are not afraid to take them on, but why do you give up when facing this woman?
'I only have 400 life points left and no cards in my deck that can beat her monster what else can I do?'
Have you forgotten so soon? The one known as Yusei never gave up even when his back was against the wall and it looked like he would lose.
'He's right. I can't give up my friends are counting on me and they truly are my friends. If they can forgive me for my crimes, then I guess I should too. I shall continue to fight till the last card is drawn!'
Then I shall give you the power to win. Now go, defeat your foe. Your friends are waiting.
"Are you gonna make a move or just stand there staring at your cards!?"
Sherry was snapped out of her thoughts by Mai's voice. 'Was that all real?' Shaking her head, she looked over at Mai, "Yes I'm gonna make my move. I play Pot of Greed. Then I play to bring back my Descending Lost Star Chevalier De Fleur. Finally, I summon Fleur Hatchling and with its effect I bring back Fleur Synchron." On her field appeared a small pink dragon with flowers for wings then it chirped three times. After the third time a light shot out from Sherry's graveyard and onto her field. When it faded Fleur Synchron was on her field. "Now I play Polymerization to fuse them together!"
The two monsters swirled around each other and when they stopped in their place was a bipedal dragon. It had Fleur Hatchling's wings and Fleur Synchron's pedals were attached to its neck just below its head, "Say Bonjour to Blossom Chick!"
Fleur Hatchling 500/300 Dragon Level 3
Blossom Chick 800/400 Fusion-Dragon/Tuner Level 5
"Now I tune my level 4 Blossom Chick with my Level 8 Chevalier De Fleur." Blossom Chick morphed into two purple stars that surrounded Chevalier De Fleur before changing into two rings. There was a flash of dark purple light and when it faded a figure stood in place of the chick and Chevalier, "I synchro summon Armored Orchidee Wyvern!" The figure stood tall with a long curved neck covered in black and silver armor with a hot pink colored underside. Its body was similarly colored as well as being covered in the same armor. The body itself was tall and lean ending in a bladed tail. Finally, it stood upright on two bulky legs and had two enormous hot pink wings that ended in a trio of claws.
Armored Orchidee Wyvern Synchro/Dragon 3700/4000 Level 12
"Hmm you're still 600 points short." Mai commented.
"Not for long. I activate her effect by banishing a Fleur monster in my graveyard she gains that monster's attack points."
"W-wait a minute your Chevalier De Fleur had 2700 attack points and if your monster was to gain that attack power then-"
"Then her attack power would go up to 6400 and that's exactly what I'm going to do." Her dragon's armor glowed as a transparent image of Chevalier De Fleur appeared in front of it.
Armored Orchidee Wyvern Synchro/Dragon 3700/4000 Level 12
"Now end this duel. Inferno Coup De Gras!" The wyvern's eyes flashed before it let loose a torrent of silver and hot pink flames that engulfed Harpie Tyrant Dragon making her roar in agony before exploding.
Sherry 400LP-Mai 0000LP
Mai sighed as her life points hit zero and the holograms disappeared, "That was a great duel," she said smiling.
"Yes it was. You almost won though."
"Almost isn't winning, but since you won I can see that you finally overcame what was holding you back."
She nodded, "Your words helped though and if you didn't put me such a difficult position I wouldn't have had the courage to."
"Glad to help. I'd love to stick around and chat, but my boyfriend is probably running around trying to find me. Honestly I fear what would happen to him if he didn't have me," she chuckled.
Sherry nodded, "My boyfriend is much the same."
"Take care." She waved before there was a flash of light and she was gone. Then Sherry felt of familiar feeling wash over her before she too was gone.
Trudge, Mina, Kalin, Carly and Misty stood in Yusei's hospital room as they waited for their friends to return.
"Remind me why we have to stay here again?" Trudge asked arms crossed.
"We need to protect him incase these gem holders come after him." Misty answered.
"But why would they come after him? He's in a coma for crying out loud what can he do to them?"
"They might think that Stardust Dragon is with him and since that Hydrak guy did beat him fairly they might try and take it." Kalin told him.
"How do you know that?" Mina asked.
"Former Dark Signer remember." He said gesturing to himself, "It's what I would do. Take what I want while the signers are away."
"I guess that makes sense, but still-" Trudge's retort was cut off by his radio going off. He quickly put it up his ear and listened. The others watched as his face became pale and he began to ask when, where and are you sure. After a few minutes, he told the person on the other side to keep looking and report in if he saw anything before he lowered the radio. He turned to them before speaking in a serious tone, "They just found one of our officers knocked out just outside the hospital with a face of complete horror."
Everyone's was shocked and they turned to look at each other, "You don't mean?"
"Yes."
"How long do you think?"
"Only a few minutes."
"What do we do?"
"We protect Yusei." They all turned and looked at Kalin who had spoken.
"What's the plan then?"
"First we need to know how many of them there are."
"I can take care of that." Trudge said as he picked up his radio once more, "Security team in the camera room this is Trudge do you read?"
"Roger what can we do for you sir."
"I need to you to look for someone or a group of people in cloaks with varying colors."
"That's pretty vague sir."
"Their hoods will look like colt cloaks and they won't know where exactly to go."
"Ah there they are. We have two people that fit that description. They're on the 2nd floor and making their way towards the stairwell on the other end. What do you want us to do?"
"Just keep tracking them."
"Roger that sir."
Trudge lowered the radio from his ear before turning to Mina and handing it to her. He then gave her a gentle hug before making his way towards the door. Mina watched with watering eyes, "Where are you going!?"
"To hold them off."
"No! I won't let you!"
"I have to."
"Why you!?"
"I'm the weakest duelist I mean even you can beat me Mina and you barely duel. At least by doing this I can hold them off long enough for you guys to come up with a plan."
"At least let me come with you!"
"No! You need to stay here and help the others and I won't let you put yourself in harm's way for me."
"Fine." She sighed, "But when this is over we're going to talk."
Trudge chuckled before pulling her into a short kiss, "Roger that." Then he left the room.
Everything was silent for a while as tears rolled down Mina's cheeks. Then everyone turned to Kalin. He sighed, "We need to defeat them and if we can't do that we need to hold them off for as long as possible. The others have enough to deal with so the longer we keep these two here the more time we give them. Misty and I will stay on the fifth floor." He turned to the other two, "You two will wait for them on the fourth floor if Trudge is unable to stop them." Mina and Carly nodded and the former gave him the radio before they left.
Now only him, Misty and Yusei remained, "And so it begins."
Shujin and Iango walked down the white floors of the hospital both were silent as they made their way to their target. Occasionally they would look to the wall closest to them to ensure they didn't pass the room they were looking for. The Shujin broke the silence, "Tis curious that these humans build such big structures for their wounded. If they need this many rooms then their species must be very clumsy or accident prone."
"Agreed, but we must also remember that the human signers have stood up to our comrades and survived." Iango replied.
"True though the one you faced before was pathetic."
"He was young and arrogant overcommitting on his first turn." He shook his head, "He should be ashamed to call himself an officer."
They were silent again until Shujin spoke once more, "10 to 3"
"Hmm?"
"I have seen 10 females dressed in white so far and only 3 males. It makes me think that females care more about these injured."
"A female is gentler than a male is, so it would make sense."
"True." Then she stopped suddenly, "Someone approaches who wishes to stop us."
"I can hear them to, but the signers are gone. Who could it be?"
"You did mention one of the reformed dark signers was helping them. Maybe the others have come to help?"
"Could be, but let us wait and see."
They waited for a few minutes then they saw the stairwell door open and out stepped a large black haired man wearing a uniform like the officer they had encountered. He looked like he had been running, but once he saw them he came to an abrupt stop.
'Another officer?' They thought.
Trudge caught his breath as he stared at the cloaked pair and they stared back at him. Then he narrowed his eyes and activated his Duel Disk, "You're not going anywhere gem holders."
"Step aside officer this is none of your concern." Iango said as he stepped forward.
"Oh really, because I think if you're trying to hurt my friends then it does make it my concern."
"You have friends?" Shujin giggled irritating Trudge.
"Yes I do and I'm going to stop you from getting to them. Now quit stalling and let's duel!"
Shujin sighed and shook her head, "Fine this shouldn't take long. Just don't whine when I take your soul." She pulled out a magnet shaped Duel Disk with slots for the monsters on one pole of the magnet and slots for spell/trap cards on the other.
"Let's Duel!"
Trudge 4000-Shujin 4000
"I'll start things off by summing Gonogo in defense mode then I'll throw two cards facedown. Your move." On his field appeared a giant ball shaped creature with eyes and mouth.
Trudge 4000-Shujin 4000
"I summon a monster in face down defense mode then I'll throw one card facedown and place Attack the Moon! With that I'll end my turn."
Trudge 4000-Shujin 4000
'She must be up to something, but I can't just wait for her to make her move I need to force her hand' "I summon Dark Tinker." Next to Gonogo appeared a little elf creature that had metallic arms holding multiple weapons coming out of its back. "Then I'll tune my level 3 Gonogo with my level 2 Dark Tinker to synchro summon Stygian Sergeants!" Dark Tinker turned into two balls that turned into rings that surrounded Gonogo then a light shot through the rings and the ball shaped monster. When it faded in their place was a fiendish creature with two dragonic heads riding a fiendish motorcycle.
Stygian Sergeants 2200/1800 Fiend Level 5
"Then I'll use my Dust Tornado to destroy your face down." His card flipped up before a tan tornado shot out of it and at Shujin's facedown.
"I activate my trap Zero Gravity! With this card all face-up monsters change their battle positions." Stygian Sergeants put its arms across its chest in a defensive manner.
"Grr fine I end my turn."
Trudge 4000-Shujin 4000
"I draw. Then I flip of my facedown monster Golem Sentry and when I do this I can target one monster you control and return into your hand and I choose your Stygian Sergeants. My Attack the Moon also activates since a rock type monster changed its battle position, so I can destroy your face down." Trudge watched in shock as his field was cleared of cards leaving him wide open. "Then I summon Beta the Electromagnet Warrior in attack mode." On her field appeared a bronze colored robot like creature with magnets on its hands and when I do this I can add a level 4 or lower magnet warrior from my deck to my hand, so I'll bring his counterpart Beta the Magnet Warrior to my hand. Finally, I'll have my monsters attack you directly."
Trudge 1700-Shujin 4000
"To end my turn I'll use Golem Sentry's effect to flip in facedown again."
Trudge 1700-Shujin 4000
"I draw, then I play Pot of Greed to draw two more cards. Now I discard Handcuffs Dragon, Stygian Street Patrol and Pursuit Chaser to summon Montage Dragon." Once the third card hit the graveyard a giant three headed dragon appeared on Trudge's field.
Montage Dragon 3600/0000 Dragon Level 8
"Then I summon Search Striker. Now attack her facedown Golem Sentry."
"Foolish human did you forget what happened last time?"
"Nope because my monster has an effect that destroys a facedown monster when it attacks it without flipping it up. However, after he attacks he is switched to defense mode." Search Striker fired its cannon at the facedown Golem Sentry destroying it.
"Impressive." Iango said from the side.
"Thanks. Now Montage Dragon destroy Beta!"
"I activate his effect, during my opponent's turn I can tribute him to summon a Level 4 Magnet Warrior monster from my deck. So, I tribute Beta to summon Alpha in defense mode." Beta disappeared from the field and in his place appeared a green robot like creature with a small sword and shield.
"Grr fine you may not take any damage, but your monster is still destroyed." Alpha was stuck by Montage Dragon's blasts before exploding. "With that I'll end my turn."
Trudge 1700-Shujin 4000
"I summon Alpha the Electromagnet Warrior in attack mode and when I do that he adds a level 8 Magna Warrior monster from my deck to my hand, so I'll add Valkyrion the Magna Warrior. Then I'll have him destroy your Search Striker." On her field appeared a silver robot like creature holding a staff and a shield. Alpha jumped forward and smashed its staff against Search Striker destroying it. "With that I end my turn."
Trudge 1700-Shujin 4000
"My move now Montage Dragon attack and destroy her electromagnet warrior."
"I'll use his effect to tribute himself to bring Gamma to the field in defense mode." Alpha the Electromagnet warrior exploded before he was replaced by a pink colored robot creature that held its arms in front of it in an attempt to shield itself before it was destroyed by the blue blasts.
"I end my turn then."
Trudge 1700-Shujin 4000
"I play the field spell Magnetic Field." The floor beneath them turned into a blue disk with blue circles which became smaller as it go closer to the middle. The air around them also changed becoming electrified by the magnetism. "Next I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior from my hand and due to Magnetic fields effect I can bring Alpha the Electromagnet Warrior back from the graveyard. Then I activate his effect to bring Beserkion the electro magna warrior from my deck to my hand." On Shujin's field appeared a pink rock creature with wings and a magnet on its upper chest. "Now I play Polymerization to fuse Valkyrion and Beserkion to summon Imperion Magnum the Superconductive Battlebot!" Valkyrion and Beserkion swirled around each other and when they stopped in their place was a creature that was literally a fusion of them with parts from Valkyrion and Beserkion along with a large sword.
Imperion Magnum the Superconductive Battlebot 4000/4000 Rock/Fusion Level 10
"Now destroy his dragon with Magnum Slash." Imperion tensed its legs before jumping forward and slashing Montage Dragon. The dragon roared before exploding into a million pieces.
Trudge 1100-Shujin 4000
"And I still have Alpha and Gamma left. Now attack him and end this duel." Alpha stuck him with his spear and Gamma punched him in the gut. Their attacks blew him backwards and into the wall next to the stairwell door.
Trudge 0000-Shujin 4000
Trudge lifted his head to see the cloaked figures standing over him, "You fought well, but you're out of your league. Now since you lost your soul belongs to us, but take comfort in the thought that it's being used for a good cause." Shujin said before pulling out a chocolate colored pendant. It glowed and Trudge could see a misty cloud come out of his mouth and flow into it before everything went black.
Shujin looked up at Iango and nodded before the two of them began to climb the stairwell to the 4th floor.
All in all not my best chapter, but I wanted to get it done. Now just like I said last time I'm at college and I don't get to type a lot, so updates will be few and far between. K now that that's out of the way how is everyone? Good I hope. To tell you the truth Shujin's duel with Trudge was suppose to end differently with her using De-Fusion instead of Gamma and Alpha, but I wanted to save that for another time. Also do you guys think I should keep up this 2 duels per chapter thing going or not? Another question is do you guys want Inus back in anyway or should he just stay gone until the end. Finally a few of you guys have asked about images for the dragons and to tell you the truth I would love to do that, but my drawling in pretty bad if one of you guys wanna do it then just ask me for permission and you can do it. Well have a good night and please leave a review.
Edit: Fixed the problem with Mirror Wall and Centaur Mina. Thanks to it being pointed out by two guest reviewers.
