Shikiira: And we are back with another chapter of Adventures of Shikiira-Yugioh! Sorry for the wait,but due to some demand,I was asked to resume another story I am currently working on,but alas ,I am resuming this story for a while,then might go off again to work on the other. But lets get on shall we?
Yugi: Resuming where we left off.
Shikiira : Right! Let's see,where did we leave a hanger?*Reads end of last chapter* Ah here we are,last we left of was in the middle of Weevil vs Yugi duel.
Weevil: And the exact point where I said I still had my ultimate weapon in the brigs!
Shikiira:Yeah yeah,we know, must you always be a drama queen?
Weevil: Hey!
Shikiira: Not to mention all the bug puns,got any better jokes,I mean really,all this dry humor is just a waste of writing space!
Weevil: I'm right here ya know,I can hear every word you're saying.
Shikiira: No duh,lets just get on with this shall we,Yami,you know what to do!
Yami:Right! Remember everyone,Shikiira only owns an OC in this story. Also another thing to note,Shikiira noticed the thing about when a monster is destroyed by card effect,damaged is dealt to actually equal to the original Atk of the monster destroyed and not half.
Shikiira: Alright guys...
All in unison: LETS ROLL!
Chapter 6
Let the Battle Begin! A Cheater with a Sting! Part 2
LP-Weevil 555/ Yugi 1350
The Pharaoh was in the lead,Weevil's field was all empty but one trap laying face down. Dark Magician was still in play in defense mode,but from whats been going on so far,it seems to be anyone's game. The bug duelist wasn't the slightest bit happy, and despite it all ,me and the others still cheered for the Pharaoh. "Ha great play Yug!" Joey exclaims. "You wiped out Weevil's army in one move!" Tristan added. Tea was just as happy." All right,you've got him on the ropes."
"But the game's not over yet." I say. " So keep it up!Ya got this!"
"Ha ha,yeah right." We her a voice laugh behind us. We all turn to see a familiar person with wavy blond hair and purple jacket. It was Mai from the boat. "You losers don't seem to realize who your little pal is up against." What is she going on about? We know who Weevil is. "Weevil's a regional champion,he's got moves your shrimp couldn't even dream of."
"Nobody asked you!" I hear Tea snap. Guess Mai is starting to get on her nerves. Course she is getting on mine as well,but I'm not one to get angered easily,nor to hold a grudge. "So why don't you just take a hike?" Mai just walks past her and says. "And miss the chance to watch a champion like Weevil as he turns this around. No way."
The guys nodded. "Yeah,I mean,Weevil really did come from behind to win the regionals. "Says Joey. "He's tough and sneaky." Tea the snaps. "Who's side are you two goof balls on anyway!" I then come in and say. "Hate to say it Tea,but they have a point. Weevil was one of those who always takes the win when his opponent least expects it. Not to mention this is Yugi's first official duel and he's fighting a champion." Tea was about to retort.
"But..." I begin again, now having a smile appear on my face. "don't forget,Yugi really came around when he beat Kaiba. He may not have Exodia anymore,but that still doesn't mean he can't win this match. Status doesn't mean a thing,because for all we know,what they need to win may just be at the bottom of their decks. But unlike Weevil,Yugi believes in his deck."
"You may have flattened my army of bugs,Yugi," Weevil growls. "But you haven't won! I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve." Even so,the Pharaoh's confident smirk didn't falter. "You've done an awful lot of buzzing through out this whole duel,Weevil,but I'm still here waiting for the sting."
"Sense your new to this whole tournament thing, I'll try and make this simple for you." Weevil says as he glares at the Pharaoh. "I'm gonna wipe that goofy grin from your face." He grins as he looks at his cards."Now lets see which lucky bug gets to take the first bite." He grabs a card,and for some reason, feigns worry. "Oh no,but this little bug wont stand a chance against all your ferocious monsters." He sighs and places the monster in set defense."Ah well, I'll play him in defense mode." He needs to work on his acting skills,not to mention it's just way to obvious.
The Pharaoh looks at the board ,his confidence still holding. "Huh,that would have been a nice bluff,but I still haven't forgotten about the trap card you've played." He looks at his cards,thinking about what to do. He then smirks again as he pulls a card from his hand. "I'll spring your trap Weevil." He says as he plays a spell card. "But first,the Monster Recovery Card. It allows me to call back all my monsters on the field,Monsters,return to your cards!" Both of his monsters disappeared from his field. "Now your trap has nothing to snare,and once all my monsters are all safely back in my deck,my Recovery card also lets me draw a new hand." He then shuffles his deck and draws his new five card,now off to a fresh start.
"Now all I have to do is sacrifice one of my weaker monsters, and your trap is sprung." He then places a monster in attack mode with 300 Atk and 200 Def. The monster that appeared looked like a brown fluff ball with big eyes and green feet. It was adorable! It's cool to know that not all monsters are big a scary."Kuriboh, Attack!" Before the little furball even charged,Weevil's trap activated. A large worm looking creature appeared and took out Kuriboh,both going straight to the graveyard.
"Trap cards only work if they catch you by surprise. Next time,don't give your plan away."
LP-Weevil 555/Yugi 1050
For what ever reason,Weevil was grinning and laughing. "I didn't! I don't give a bee's behind about that stupid trap!" We all gasp as Weevil revealed his face down monster."I tricked you into recalling your monsters,so you couldn't attack this." A green wiggling caterpillar is what appeared, with only a measly 650 Atk and 520 Def even with the boost. What is he up to? Does he have some type of card combination to earn him the lead In the Duel? Weevil was laughing as he grabbed a card from his hand and laid it in the spell/trap zone. "Sure he's just a little slug now,but the Cocoon of Evolution will change all that!"
What!? A sticky string wrapping began to engulf the caterpillar,making gross sounds as it did. I wanted to barf."Ew,that is just gross."Tea says as if she read my mind. "Weevil's bug is sealing itself in a cocoon." Says Joey. There are some things in duel monsters you really don't want to see in real life. Plain proof right in front of us.
"Behold!" Weevil announces. "My Cocoon of Evolution!" He laughs like a hyena again. "Within that cocoon sits my tiny little Larvae Moth,and in the next 5 turns,he will under go a startling transformation...from harmless caterpillar to unstoppable Great Moth!" The Pharaoh glares as he says,"Then I'll crack that cocoon before that happens!"
"Easier said than done,Yugi." Weevil smirks. "For my Cocoon of Evolution get's a field power bonus from the wilderness around us,increasing it's defense points. It'll be so strong, you wont be able to scratch it's surface!" He was right as his Cocoon's defense went from 2000 to a stunning 2600. Yugi doesn't even have a monster in his deck that is that strong alone! Not even his Dark Magician which is now somewhere in his deck again. Can he find a way to bust that cocoon open?
"Just five more turns,Yugi," The beetle head says,holding up five fingers for emphasis."in five turns my Great moth with fully evolve and finish you off." The Pharaoh eyes narrowed. He just had to come up with something,and fast. He then took a card form his hand and laid it down ,a monster in attack position."Gia, The Fierce Knight!" The familiar blue armored knight on his purple horse appeared on the field,but it only had 2300 Atk.
"Shatter that cocoon!" Gia charge and impaled the cocoon with its long red sword but it just bounced off. It's too strong. With that power bonus,it defense is too high for Gia."That's one turn down!"Says Weevil with a snide smirk."Care to try again?" He laughed as the Pharaoh's points dropped.
LP-Weevil 555/ Yugi 750
"Oh no,"Tea squeaks while Joey says."Hang tough ,Yugi! You'll pop that pus bag!" Mai laughs at their attempts to cheer their friend on,making Tea turn her,as well as I,with a glare. "Just what are you laughing at?!" Tea snaps. The blond then tells her."All that stupid cheer leading you're doing. You make it sound like your Yugi still has a chance."
"Of course he does!" Tea growled,steaming and was being held back by Joey. "don't listen to her Tea."
"Any duelist that has gone up against Weevil's cocoon of evolution has been totally trashed."Mai states.
"All of them!?" Tristan and Joey exclaim."But Yugi has us to help him beat it."Says Tea. I Nod in agreement." Indeed,we may not be the ones dueling,but we are putting the same amount of faith in his moves and draws ,so we're fighting just as much as he is. Also, cheer leading isn't useless,it's what you call encouragement,and encouragement is a good way to start a burning fire." Mai stared at her for a moment but just turned her attention back to the duel.
"Here it growing?" Weevil asks with a smirk."The more time you waste,the more powerful it becomes. It was his turn,drawing his card,he babbled on."Tick tock, tick tock,just four more turns until my ultimate insect emerges." We know Weevil,gosh,can't he learn to shut up. If I was an idiot I'd blow him sky high."Then you can stop worrying about how you're going to destroy it and start worrying about how it will destroy you!" The hyena burst into laughter once more.
The Pharaohs turn,he draws,then sets a monster in set defense. Back to Weevil."Ha,your wasting you turn. No defense with save your points once my moth is out."Weevil passes the rest of his turn and it's back to the Pharaoh. Come on,he really needs something now! That moth is only getting bigger! He looked frustrated and Weevils smirk was still plastered to his face.
"Hang in there Yugi!" Tea shouts
"Ya gotta win this for ya Grandpa! He's counting on you!" Joey shouts as well. The Pharaoh replies," I know he is." Joey then says,"Then ya can't keep lettin' this creep push you around!" I then say. "Yeah,Yugi, ya just gotta light the stage and get fired up!" That seem to do the trick as he blinked and he seemed to get hit with an idea.
"So do you guys sit around and work up these lame cheers,or do they just come to you?" I shrug."They just come to us." She went on." I mean doesn't your pep talk nonsense distract Yugi from the game?" Tea glared at her." How would you know?"She spat." I've bet no ones even wanted to be your friend,let alone care enough to cheer you on." Ouch... Mai comes back and says."Friends haven't help Yugi any way. He's losing."
"That's not what the light bulb above his head says." I say, getting a confused look from the blond girl who turns to the Pharaoh. He held a thumbs up and a proud smirk on his face.
The gang cheered. Tea then turns to Mai and says."Well,from the look on Yugi's face,I'd say having friends just did help him out,so there." Mai's eye's narrowed. What idea could he have possibly gotten from these morons?
"Go! Curse of Dragon!" The Pharaoh shouted as he slapped the card in attack mode on the field. A bronze-yellow dragon with red eyes and no legs appeared on the field,bearing it's fangs. It had 2000 Atk and 1500 Def. He also lays down a card in the spell/trap zone."And I'll combine it with this magic card! Attack with dragon flame!" The dragon then lets it's flames loose all over Weevil's side of the field.
"What do you think you're doing!?" Weevil growls."You know your little firefly can't hurt my cocoon!" The pharaoh smirked and chuckled."What so funny!?" The beetle head demanded."Who ever said I was aiming for your cocoon?" He revealed his magic card he was still covering with his hand. " I combined my dragon with the magic card Burning Land to destroy the forest all around your cocoon."
Weevil's eyes widen and fear replaced his smirk."No forest!? That means I lose my field power bonus!" He exclaimed."Exactly. Your cocoon was too tough to attack directly,but without it's field power bonus it's just a big target!" Weevils cocoon defense points dropped back to it's original 2000,and now was ready to be cracked open like an egg."Now lets try this again. Gia,The Fierce Knight,attack!" Gia did as so,charging and impaling the cocoon with ease.
"He did it!" Tea exclaimed
"Poped it open like a zit!" Says Joey pumping a fist in the air.
Sadly,I noticed something was wrong as I saw the smirk still plastered on Weevil's face."This isn't a win yet guys." The Pharaoh seemed to notice as well."Is it still alive?"
"I've got a feeling we're about to find out." Says Joey,uneasiness in his voice.
The cocoon the burst into a cloud of smoke,and a shadow could be seen within."It's still movin'!" Joey gasps. "You're surprised?" Mai asks flatly. The insect monster moved and wiggled,getting to it's feet. "It must have evolved enough to survive!" Everyone gasps except me and Mai."I told you Weevil was good."Says Mai.
"I'm impressed you pierced my cocoon ,Yugi,"Says Weevil."But you still weren't able to stop my ultimate insect,the Great Moth!" The moth stood tall,flapping and stretching it's new found wings. It had a total of 2600 attack points and 2300 defense."But I thought you said it only took five turns." The Pharaoh says,not understanding how it was possible.
"He lied." I say. Every one's attention was now turned on me."Great Moth never needed five turns,it only took four. That's why it survived,but I should say it's a good thing ya got this instead,but if was on there for two more turns,he would have been able to bring out a stronger monster called Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth." Every one gasped,even Mai that time.
Weevil laughed."So what,I still have the strongest monster on the field. I never needed two more turns,not when I have this." He turns back to the Pharaoh. "So,Yugi, feeling outclassed yet,or you enjoying your first major league dueling loss?" The Pharaoh just smirked. "You may have gotten your prized monster onto the field ,Weevil,but I'll find a way to squash that oversized bug."
"Heh,you'll pay for that stinging jab with your life points!"
"Duel!"
"Great Moth,take flight!" The giant moth flapped it's wings and slowly rose to the same height as the Pharaoh's Curse of Dragon. "So be it! We'll take this battle to the skies!" Weevil's smirk grew as he glanced at his dragon then his knight and vice versa. "I think it's high time I pay back you knight for demolishing my cocoon." Oh no, that's Yugi's strongest monster, he can't lose him!" This it,Yugi,My moth with crush your defenses,destroy your knight,and blast you dragon from the sky!" The Moth rose to attack.
"Not if I can help it Weevil." Says the Pharaoh,taking a card from his hand and laying it in the spell/trap zone."But that's just it," Says Weevil."You can't help it,Moth, Hurricane Attack!" The Moth let lose two whirl winds from it's wings that headed straight to Gia and the Pharaohs face down monster,which was revealed as some type of mouse looking soldier."No,my beaver warrior! My defense!"
"It's Hopeless!" Weevil comes again,"Nothing can stand against the gale force winds of my moth hurricane. Your knight will be totally blown away!" He burst into laughter as Gia disappeared in the winds."That will teach him to mess with my cocoon."
"Don't count on it." Weevil looks it him in question."You were so busy fawning over your moth, you didn't notice I played a Polymerization card." The Pharaoh explains while holding up said card. Weevil went wide eyed,fear showing once again."But...I thought..."
"If I have two compatible monsters on the field or in my hand,I can use my Polymerization card and fuse them into one ultimate creature." The winds had cleared to reveal Gia no longer on his horse but sitting on Curse of Dragon,swords at hand and ready to fight."I'm not some beginner,I know what fusion does."Weevil retorts."Then you must know it increases my attack points. My fused Dragon-Knight combo is now powerful enough to go head-to-head with your Great Moth!"
Weevil burst out into his annoying laughter."I wouldn't be so sure about that." He points at the field."Take a look." The pharaoh looked at his field to see his monster's attack power was decreasing every second! "What,no! My knight,he's losing points and fast." Shoot,just when we think he has another lead,Weevil just swipes it back the next second. Will it ever end?"But how,and why?"
Weevil snickers."It's poison,Yugi. Poison particles from my Great Moth. Each time he uses Hurrincane Attack,it releases tuns of tiny toxic particles." He was right as the yellow particles could clearly be seen hovering around the field."And your precious Dragon-Knight combo is being poisoned by their deadly touch! Hahahahaha!"
The Pharaoh needs to come up with something fast. Something to get rid of those particles. The Pharaoh drew and seemed pleased with the draw."Yes! Ready to be rained out Weevil?" He then slaps it down in the spell/trap zone."Maiku,The Magical Mist!" The beetle head growled as it began to rain on the field ridding the field of the toxic particles. Alright!"No,my poison! You're washing it all away!"
"That's right,Magicla Mist washes the field clean."
"No fair, I was about to win and you save yourself with a little drizzle!?"
"Says the cheater."
'What!?" Weevil turned to me as it was I who spoke."You heard me,you've been cheating and lying throughout this entire duel and you say,'no fair'? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black." Weevil growls."Shut up! What do you know!" I smirk."More than you could cheat."
"Oooh burn!" I hear Joey say.
"Alright,then your next to go down,Silver duelist!"
"Just shut up and duel." I say flatly.
Weevil gives me one last glare before turning back to the Pharaoh."You may have stopped my poison attack,but I promise you've only won a brief reprieve, because my next move is one you wont able to break your way out of! Brace yourself for my ultimate insects ultimate attack! Great Moth,Tornado of Doom!" A light then began to form between the legs of the moth that suddenly let loose a spiraling blast of wind that blew away Dragon-Knight."A direct hit,hehehe! Your little rainstorm didn't save you form that one now did it? Your knight is toast and you almost out of life points."
Weevil was right,as the attack sent the Pharaohs life points down.
LP-Weevil 555/ Yugi 50
"Yugi,keep fighting,you can come back from this!" Joey shouts to his friend.
"Your all delusional." Says Mai.
"No,Joey is right. Yugi never gives up and we never give up on him." Tea counters."You're nuts" The blond states."Weevil has totally annihilated Yugi's strongest monster combo. He's down to 50 measly life points. He can't win,so do me a favor and stop yapping."
"It's not over til it's over,girl."
"Hm?" Mai turns me,who had a smirk showing and arms crossed,looking up at the field.
"Yugi's odd's may look bad now,but if you've been paying attention,the lead has been alternating this entire duel. He may be low on life points ,but you can't count him out yet,after all, it is his turn to draw,and one draw is enough to change everything."
"Shikiira's right." Says Tea."So why don't you get lost."
"Just ignore her Tea,though it would be nice if we could trade her in for life points." Tea laughs."I wish."
"I told you Yugi never had a chance at winning this thing. He waste to much time listening to you losers. Weevil keeps his mind on the game."
"You're speaking too soon,Mai,everyone always starts off with one chance. But if you don't believe me then explain to me why Weevil didn't see this coming." The gang looks at me confused."See what coming?" They all ask."Just take a look." I point at the Pharaoh."He's grinning and that speaks loud and clear." Mai stares up at him in surprise as he did have a smile on his face with his arms crossed.
"You're right he's smiling."Says Joey
"I don't think his smiling,he's laughing." says Tea.
"No way." Mia says with disbelief.
Tea was right as the Pharaoh was indeed laughing. Weevil didn't seem to like his confidence."Hey ,hey! What are you so happy about!? Stop that snickering!" He yelled.
"Weevil,I know it will be very difficult for you to except losing a duel..." The beetle head once again shows fear as he took a step back. "Especially after so much time finding inventive ways to cheat,but if you thought bending the rules would help you win this match,you're wrong." Weevil couldn't believe a word he was hearing."No! this is a trick!"
"You play with dishonesty so you except the same of your opponents." He grabbed card from his hand."But I play with honor ,Weevil,and that ,makes all the difference."
"You got nothing!"
"Here's what I've got..." He holds of the the card to the bug duelist before slapping it down in attack mode." The mighty Summoned Skull!" A smoke starts to appear on the field,and emerging from it was the familiar fiend monster with 2500 Atk and 1200 Def."This is it ,Weevil,your ultimate insect wont withstand my next attack." Weevil though,seemed to be pretty confident sense his monster was stronger,...or so it seemed."There's something you over looked ,Weevil, my magical Mist is still dampening this entire field." Both Weevil and Mai gasp.
"He's right!" Weevil exclaims."Everything's wet! My Great Moth is totally soaked!"
"And my Summoned Skull attacks with electricity,making your water-logged bug a giant-sized lightning rod. I hope your in the mood for some fireworks,Weevil,because all this water boost my electrical attack by 1000 points." Summond Skull's attack grew,raising from it's original 2500 to 's enough to beat a Blue-Eyes!
"Summoned Skull,Lightning strike!" The fiend monster charges up it's electrical energy and shoots it into the sky which just comes right back down upon Weevil's monster,shocking it and setting it ablaze,eliminating it from the field,along with the rest of the beetle-head's life points.
"It's over,I've won."
"No,impossible, I'm unbeatable." Weevil cries before falling down.
LP- Weevil 0 / Yugi 50
"Alright Yugi!" Joey cheers followed by Tristan."You won." Both pump a fist in the air."Yeah!"
"He won!" Says Tea, clasping her hands together."I knew you would!"
"Way to show him!" I cheer as well.
"Impressive,I never thought Yugi could beat Weevil." Says Mai,staring up at the field as it shut down.
"That just goes to show that status doesn't mean everything." I say with my hands on my hips,making the blond turn to me."Weevil may be a regional champ,but that doesn't mean he can beat everyone. Yugi may be new to tournaments and all,but he's still a great duelist. You saw proof of that." She shrugged her arms and says."What I don't get is why you hang out with these dorks. You're so much better than them. I would expect better from the top duelist in America."
"It's simple,they're my friends. I don't care about some stupid title. In fact I never cared about being a celebrity. I got into dueling because I thought it was fun,and tournaments just added to it. Giving it more excitement and thrill,not for fame and fortune,"I gesture to the gang."especially when I've got all the fortune in the world just hanging out with these guys." I looked over to Joey ,Tristan and Tea congratulating the Pharaoh on his win.
I meant every word. Ever sense I met these guys I've had the time of my life. They're funny,goofy and fun to be around. I don't feel so alone when I'm around them. I just hope it stays that way...
"I have another question." Mai comes again.
"Yeah?"
"You hair,is it natural?"
I blink and stare for a moment,then nod."Yup" I then walk past her,leaving her with a surprised look on her face. I walk over to the group up to the Pharaoh."That was some pretty awesome dueling out there." I compliment,patting him on the shoulder. "Thanks,and thanks for not losing faith in me." I give him a thumbs up."Always a pleasure."
We all hear a thud as Weevil fell to the ground on his knees,blubbering like a baby."Uh—uh, But I'm the regional champion! The regional champion!" My eyes narrow as I walk up to him and glared down at the mess of a duelist. He looked back up at me in fear."You're no champion ,Weevil, you duel your way through lying and cheating. You show no true skill at all. That is why you lost." The Pharaoh walks up to my side with a smirk."That's right ,true champions,they play with honor and they play fair."
"Nah,don't waste you breath one this sneaky slug." Says Joey,glaring darkly down at the bug duelist."He's a dueling disgrace." He then grabs his arm and yanks his glove dueling glove away."And I here by relieve him of his dueling gauntlet." He then puts the glove on his own hand and snaps his own star-chip in. The Pharaoh did the same with his own newly won Star-chips,snapping them in place."There,three star-chips so far,but I still need to win seven more."
I pat him on the back."Don't worry,you'll gain all ten need star-chips to get entry into that castle and beat Pegasus and get back Mr Muto. " He nods,then asks. "And what about you?" I hold up my right hand that wore the my dueling glove,showing him my only two star-chips." I wouldn't worry about that either. I'm with you,all the way till the end." He smiles at me and nods. Pegasus better be prepared,because we are coming,and coming in locked and loaded.
