Aelita 4000 Bonz 4000: "I'll start the duel by summoning The Snake Hair in attack mode, next I set one card facedown. That ends my turn." Bonz said.
"Ok, in that case I'll go, and I set three cards facedown, and summon my Krab in attack mode, now I attack your Snake Hair." Aelita said. "Now I end my turn."

"Aelita's doing awesome, I can see why Kaiba let her enter the tournament." Joey said.
"Yeah, but the duel only just started." Tea said.
"Guys, Yugi's duel is starting too." Odd said. "Maybe we should make sure he's alright?"
"Good point." Ulrich said.

Yugi 4000 hooded man 4000: "I think I'll start this duel, I set these two cards facedown on the field." Yugi said as his cards appeared. "Next I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior, that ends my turn."
"Well, in that case I draw, next I activate Graceful Charity, I assume you know how it works." the hooded figure said drawing his cards.
"Yes, and I activate a trap card, Light of Intervention, now neither of us can set monsters facedown and monsters you try to set will be placed in face-up defense mode." Yugi said confidently.
"Alright, in that case I summon Stone Statue of the Aztecs in defense mode and end my turn." the man said.

Aelita 4000 Bonz 3800: "My turn, I play the magic card Moster Reborn and use it to revive my Snake Hair." Bonz said as his monster returned to the field. "Next I sacrifice it to summon my Pumpking the King of Ghosts.
"What is that thing?" Aelita asked.
"My monster has 1800 attack points so now I attack your Krab." Bonz said robotically.
"Activate trap card, Guardian, now your monster's attack is negated, it can't declare an attack, or use any effects. The catch is if you destroy my Guardian I lose 500 points." Aelita said as an orange sphere enveloped Pumpking.
"Counter Trap activate, Seven Tools of the Bandit, now I pay 1000 points to negate your trap and destroy it. That means my attack continues." Bonz said while Pumpking destroyed the Krab.

"Not good, Aelita's in trouble." Yumi said.
"Don't worry, the game isn't over until someone has zero life points, and while she took a hit, Aelita has over a thousand point lead." Joey said.
"Well she needs something powerful to beat that overgrown Jack-o-Lantern." Ulrich said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"My move, I draw, now I sacrifice Beta the Magnet Warrior in order to play Berfomet, and with his effect I add Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts." Yugi said. "Next I activate Polymerization in order to fuse my Gazelle and my Berfomet in order to play this, Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast. Unfortunately according to the new rules I can't attack until next turn, so I set this and end my move."
"Well, in that case it's my turn, and I play another Graceful Charity." the hooded man said as he drew again. "Now I summon Gear Golem the Moving Fortress in defense mode."
"Focus on drawing and playing defense, your plan is to call on Exodia the Forbidden One." Yugi said.
"Well, you figured it out, but that won't help you win." said the hooded man.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Huh, what's Exodia?" Odd asked.
"Exodia is a super powerful monster, in fact it's so strong you need five cards to play it, but once you get those cards you automatically win the duel." Tea said. "Yugi had a copy once, but the cards were tossed into the ocean by a creep named Weevil Underwood."
"Wow, how is anyone supposed to beat that?" Ulrich asked.
"Well, as far as I can tell nobody ever has, it was only summoned once and Yugi's the one who played it." Tea said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Aelita 3900 Bonz 2800: "My move, and I activate the spell card I just drew, Possession Ritual, now I send my Blok and my Creeper to the graveyard in order to summon my Dark William in attack mode." Aelita said. "Now I activate his effect, by discarding one card from my hand he deals 300 points of damage, now I attack your Pumpkin.
"You won't win this time Aelita." Bonz said before his eyes flashed into X.A.N.A.'s.
"I knew it, X.A.N.A. is manipulating people just like always." Aelita said. "I end my turn."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I draw, and now my Chimera destroys your Stone Statue of the Aztecs." Yugi said. "Now I set this card facedown and end my turn."
"Well, in that case I draw." the man said as he placed his hand on his deck.
"Not quite, I activate the trap card Time Seal, now you have to skip your draw phase." Yugi said as a seal appeared on the hooded man's cards.
"Well, in that case I end my turn without playing a card." the hooded man said.
"My move, and I activate the card I just drew, Lightforce Sword, now I select one random card in your hand." Yugi said as a sword pierced through Exodia's right arm. "Now I sacrifice my Chimere in order to summon my Summoned Skull. Now I destroy your Gear Golem the Moving Fortress. That ends my turn."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"This is awesome, now Yugi and Aelita are in great spots." Odd said turning to see how Aelita was doing.
"Yeah, without that arm, this guy has to wait at least three turns to play Exodia." Tea said.
"Guys, we might have a problem." Ulrich said. "That Bonz guy looks like he has a plan."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Aelita 3900 Bonz 2000: "My move, I set one card facedown and play my Clown Zombie in defense mode. That ends my move."
"Ok, I draw, this might help, I summon Odd in attack mode, and next I use his effect. This allows me to pick a facedown card on your field and see what it is. After that I flip a coin, and if I get tails the card is destroyed." Aelita said as a card called Zombie Immortality revealed itself.
"My Zombie Immortality card allows Zombie type monster to be immune to destruction by any means, but it can only activate when a Zombie is targeted by an attack." Bonz said.
Aelita nodded and pulled a coin out of her pocket, "Let's see what happens, it landed on tails." Aelita said happily. "Now I attack your Clown Zombie with Odd, and attack directly with Dark William." Aelita said.
"No, this is far from over, I have several more people who can destroy you Aelita, once you fall this world will be mine." Bonz said in the robotic voice before collapsing.
I don't now what you're up to X.A.N.A. but I know that with Yugi and Joey helping, you'll fail just like always, Aelita thought. "So I won and now I get his Pumpking and a second Locator card right?" she asked while taking the cards.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Yugi, do you honestly expect your Lightforce Sword to stop me from winning? I have the perfect counter to that, I activate my Swords of Revealing Light, now you can't attack me for three turns." the hooded figure said.
"The Swords of Revealing Light?" Yugi said. "Not good now I can't attack your life points."
"Exactly, so now I think I'll end my turn." the hooded man said.
"My move, I draw." Yugi said. "I end my turn without playing a card."
"Well, I'll draw, and I end my turn as well." the hooded figure said.
"My move again, I set this facedown, and summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior in attack mode." Yugi said with a grin. "Now I plan on wiping out your life points next round."
"Not likely Yugi, my magic card still protects my life points, so you have no chance of beating me, it's my turn." The hooded figure said. Wait, what if Yugi manages to destroy my Swords of Revealing Light. I would need some type of monster in defense mode, he thought. "Alright Yugi, if you think you can attack next round I will place something out in defense mode, I summon Exodia the Forbidden One."
"That was your fatal mistake, I play a trap card, Chain Destruction." Yugi said before a spiked chain struck Exodia's head. "Now since you played Exodia the Forbidden One to the field, all copies of that monster in your hand or deck are destroyed, in other words you can't draw the five pieces of Exodia any longer."
"What impossible, how could you have destroyed Exodia?" the hooded figure asked, "You can't have done that."
"I just did, and now to finish this duel, I activate Dust Tornado this destroys your Swords of Revealing Light, now I activate Monster Reborn, this revives my Chimera in attack mode, now I destroy your last head with Alpha the magnet warrior." Yugi said as the hooded man lost his last monster. "Now I attack you directly with Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast, and Summoned Skull. I win."
"Awesome Yugi, Aelita won her match too, looks like I need to pick up the pace." Joey said. "See you guys at the finals."
"Wait right there Pharaoh, I have a warning for you." the hooded figure said in a strange voice. "You may have stopped the first Rare Hunter, but I have several more where he came from."
"Who are you, and what are you planning on doing?" Yugi asked.
"My name is Marik, and soon your Millennium Puzzle will belong to me." Marik said through his Rare Hunter. "Pharaoh, you will fall." with those the Rare Hunter collapsed
"Right, well Aelita we should work hard too." Yugi said before walking off with Tea. Especially if I plan on stopping Marik, he thought.
"Right, if I know X.A.N.A. he has some kind of plan for the finals. We need to be there to stop him." Jeremy said. "If anyone can stop X.A.N.A. it's you Aelita."
"Yeah, hopefully X.A.N.A. and Marik aren't working together." Aelita said before walking off with her friends.
(Aelita and Yugi have won their first duels in Battle City, and Marik has revealed himself. Next chapter will feature Aelita's next duel. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
