Gah! Sorry, Sorry! College is killing me and the Harry Potter idea won't leave me alone! Right, welcome to A distracting duel, part 1. Sorry, but I need to post this and get off, i need to go to bed over here due to my class starting at eight-thrity in the morning.

Disclaimer: I don't own GX or Transformers.

Claimer: I own the OC card effects and OCs.

It was about three days after Camula had been defeated. A lone boy in a yellow jacket had gotten up early and was looking at the ocean as the sun rose.

"Ah! A beautiful day to practice and prepare my deck for the next shadow rider." Bastion said to the air.

Both Optimus and Megatron have proven themselves well against the first two riders. I need to the same when it comes time for me to duel. The Ra genius thought as he did some stretches before he opened his blazer.

"Good thing I'm always prepared." Bastion said as he eyed his six deck holders.

He took out one of his six decks and looked through them. He came across a monster card that he didn't recall putting in.

"Hello, how did you get into my deck?" Bastion muttered to the card.

The card was White Magician Pikeru. He looked around and then shrugged his shoulders.

"Silly distractions." He said aloud as he took the card out of his deck.

Pocketing the card, he walked toward the Slifer Red dorm to awake three sleeping beauties.

Little did he know that he would also be waking up a very mean and very nasty dragon up from a peaceful slumber.

GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX

Slifer Red dorm

Syrus, Chumley, Optimus and Elita were sleeping contently in their beds when Bastion entered. He smirked as he deployed his disk and cranked the volume up to high.

He completely missed Elita's face and just assumed that Optimus, Syrus and Chumley were the ones that were sleeping. He set a monster card, Barrel Dragon, and covered his ears.

"Alright…ready? Get set…and fire!" Bastion whispered to beast who responded like it was attacking.

Three large blasts rocked the Slifer Dorm and startled the four heavy sleepers awake. Chumley glared at the hologram and snapped irritably.

"Someone hit the Snooze button!"

"More like hit the Snooze Trigger!" Syrus commented.

"Ugh…I heard of getting up with a bang but that…that's just ridiculous." Optimus mumbled before he went stark white. "Oh fuck."

"Huh? Prime? What's wrong?" Syrus asked before he felt it. "Oh shit."

"Good morning gents! How are you this fine morning?" Bastion asked unaware of the Killer intent spiking.

"Why don't you ask that question later, Bastion?" Optimus said while pointing a finger. "Because you're 'good morning' just became hell on earth."

"Huh? Whatever do you…OH~!" Bastion screamed the 'oh' becoming higher and higher like an opera singer.

"THAT WAS FOR WAKING ME UP SO RUDELY!" Elita all but screamed at Bastion who was now holding his family jewels before he felt the mean phantom left hook of Elita's. "THAT WAS INTERRUPTING MY MOST GLORIUS DREAM EVER! AND THIS IS…"

Elita continued to whale on Bastion while Optimus, Syrus and Chumley looked on in absolute fear and pitied the poor boy who got Elita worked up.

"Bro…she's scary."

"I know Sy…I know."

Outside of the Dorm, Megatron awoke with a start at the yelling and screaming. Identifying the bellowing voice as Elita, he scowled.

"Hell hath no fury then a woman angered…or when her aunt plans her monthly visit." Megatron stated with a shiver before he drifted back into a light snooze.

GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX

Later

After Elita was calmed down (by a good make-out from Prime), she along the three boys were looking at a very beaten and very bruised Bastion as they practiced the dueling drills.

"1…2…ow…draw." Bastion said in a daze as he drew cards from the top of his deck.

Optimus and the others followed along muttering the chant.

"Oh yeah…this was so getting up for." Elita stated sarcastically.

"Um…Elita…could you not comment? I'll lose count." Syrus said timidly.

"Uh…yeah. Please?" Chumley said before he spotted the card Syrus had drawn. "What the? Is that Thunder Nyan Nyan?"

Syrus, realizing that he was caught, blushed and nodded.

"Yeah, I've kind of got a card crush on her." Syrus said sheepishly.

"That's so lame Sy. At least having a card crush on that one. Check out my crush." Chumley said as he held up Dian Keto the Healer.

"Wow, she's…um…really something." Syrus commented.

"I know right? She totally reminds me of my girl back home. Sally, I think…no wait! Adrianna. Man, I get her and her twin mixed up." Chumley said before Syrus turned to Optimus.

"Hey Prime! What about you? Do you have any card crushes?" Syrus asked.

"Not anymore. I used to have one on Elemental Hero Burstinitrix, but then I met someone whose fire burns even bright then hers ever did." Optimus said with a warm smile at Elita making said girl blush.

"What about you Elita?" Chumley asked eagerly.

"Um…well…I used to have a card crush on Dark Magician. It was the mysteriousness that drew me to him. But then I found Optimus and trust me…Prime is ten times hotter then what the Magician ever was." Elita said as she kissed her boyfriend's cheek.

"I BEG YOUR PARDON BUT I THOUGHT WE WERE TRAINING HERE! NOT TALKING ABOUT…BIRDS!" Bastion cried ignoring the comments Prime and Elita said.

"Birds?" Syrus asked.

"English term for girls, Syrus. But man, Bastion needs to…" Optimus was saying when there was a massive explosion.

"What on earth?" Bastion asked when they heard a loud roar in the air.

They all watched silently as a tiny dot got larger and larger. The five all scrambled to get out of the way of the incoming object and barely managed to get to cover. Another explosion rocked the area where they had just been standing in and dust sprang up along with heavy coughing.

"Bloody Allspark! *cough* I SOOOOOOO don't need this right now!" came a cold familiar tone from the crater.

"Megatron?" Syrus squeaked out.

"How did he survive that fall?" Chumley asked from behind a very tiny pebble.

"Damned if I know." Bastion said confused from behind the ledge.

Optimus and Elita walked out to assist the Decepticon Gang leader when they got the shock of their lives as a large metal scorpion emerged from the earth screaming a warbled war cry.

"Scorpinox! But how the hell did he come to life?" Optimus asked shocked.

"This damn charm that's what! The minute I dozed off, this heat from my bracelet came and brought him to life and covered me in armor!" Megatron snapped as he stepped out from the second dust cloud.

True to his word, the gang leader was covered head to toe of his G1 namesake like the bracelet was using the power of the trap card used to defeat Sega and Isabella.

He would've said more but he had to duck under the only animalistic Decepticon as it lunged at him. Megatron sprang back up and grabbed the tail and began to whip him around.

The five all ducked as Megatron whipped the metal scorpion around faster and faster till it was nothing but a bronze blur. Megatron let loose a loud roar as he released his hold on the tail and sent the Decepticon flying. There was a loud explosion as Scorpinox struck the ground. Megatron spat on the ground before he leapt up and chased after his quarry.

Bastion and the others stepped out and looked at one another.

"Trainings over with." Bastion said as he shuffled off making Syrus, Chumley and Elita relieved.

Optimus wasn't sure if he should be nervous or giddy; something about today…just seemed off.

GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX

Professor Banner's Class

Whatever gut feeling Optimus had became more than that as he looked around his classroom.

"Not good." Optimus mumbled making Elita look at him.

"Prime? What's up?" Elita asked.

"Notice anything unusual?" Optimus asked with his left arm spread out.

Elita took a quick glance and gasped.

"Where is the rest of our class?"

"I don't know…and I've got a bad feeling about this."

"It's even worse Prime." Came Megatron's voice.

The duo turned around and saw that Megatron was out of the armor and a light scrape on his right cheek. He hobbled to where the two were sitting indicating that there was another injury.

"The missing students? They're all a part of the male population. I hate to say it but the Riders may have struck again." Megatron said.

"Oh my. This is most peculiar. Where is the rest of my class?" Professor Banner asked as he walked in with Pharaoh in his arms.

After the question was asked, a woman in an orange blazer walked in carrying a duffel bag.

"Yes?" Banner asked the woman.

"Excuse me, but do you recognize this?" the woman asked.

Banner looked at the bag and nodded confused.

"Yes, it belongs to one of my students. Where was it found?"

"It was laying on the ground in the forest." The woman answered.

The three shared a look; it was time to investigate.

Forest

"Wonder who would leave their bag all the way out here?" Optimus mused.

"Don't know. But I'm more concern about its owner and whether or not they're in trouble." Bastion said

The group then began to call out hoping to find the missing students.

GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX

Later

The group wandered into a clearing and everyone gasped at what they saw; carved into the very canyon wall.

"Where did that come from?" Chazz asked shocked.

"No idea." Syrus said while Chumley stared.

"I'm going in!" Bastion said before he broke into a run.

"That idiot!" Megatron snarled as he ran after the genius.

The rest soon followed behind the two with Chumley's usual bout of complaining.

Once the group was inside the structure they were floored at what they saw; several students ranging from Blue to Red were working…together of all things!

"Hey, that guy's from class!" Syrus pointed out.

"Yeah, and him too!" Chumley said pointing to a red student moving a block of stone.

"Crowler!" Chazz asked in absolute shock making everyone turn to the see the good doctor. "What in the name of that is holy are you doing!"

"A man's work!" Crowler called down to the six.

"Huh…guess whoever is doing this ran out of men." Zane joked.

That caused several heads to turn to the sky and start looking around. Zane caught this and glared.

"What are you guys looking for?" Zane demanded.

"The riders." Megatron said casually.

"The riders?"

"Yeah, The Riders of the end times."

That comment got everyone to giggle slightly while Zane gave a half smirk.

"Guess I should joke more often then."

The conversation was interrupted by a scream from Elita.

The group all turned to see a large animal in front of them and Optimus in front of his girlfriend.

"A tiger!" Chazz shouted before the group started to run…well, Megatron tried to engage the Tiger but he was grabbed by Bastion and Chazz.

The group climbed up a pillar to avoid the tiger's sharp claws. Optimus held Elita bridal style much to the chagrin of Chazz while Megatron stood on top and glared at the tiger.

"First a coliseum…then a tiger…what's next? A gladiator!" Optimus mused.

"I believe she prefers the term Amazon!" Crowler inputted making everyone confused.

"Amazon? What or who is Amazon?" Chazz asked.

"Amazon is a term that is applied to the Amazon River…though legends and myths state that there was a tribe of all women called Amazoness." Bastion commented when they heard a whoop and a large roar.

The group turned to see Megatron riding the Tiger, which was not happy. The large feline tired to shake the Gang leader off and managed to do it. Megatron flipped through the air and landed on the top of coliseum steps and grinned at the large cat.

"That all you got?" Megatron sneered.

The answer was drowned out by the sound of hands clapping. The gang looked up and saw that a woman with ruby red hair and honey-colored eyes was applauding the gang leader.

The group noticed that the woman wore leather armor on her legs and chest leaving the shoulders bare. She also had a set of scars running down her left cheek.

"Not bad. Got to admit you're really bold to do that to my pet. And as for the raven haired one's question…I am an Amazon and with the help of your friends and teacher, I've finished my Arena." The woman said as she flipped into the air.

"Arena…for dueling?" Optimus asked shocked as he held onto Elita.

"That's right…but before we get to that. Boys! Come on down!" The woman said making all the boys scrambled for places.

The woman looked at the lined up men and nodded in approval.

"Excellent work! I never knew that Duel Academy could produce such fine labor! Now as promised here is a pack of rare cards. Till next time!" The woman said as the boys left with wave's of good-bye to her.

As soon as the cat left them alone, the group clambered down.

"Can someone explain to the Chazz what's going on here?" Chazz snapped.

"Humph!" Came a large yell as Megatron landed next to the Red student.

He gave a glare to the woman and scowled.

"She's setting the stage for us to vanquished. She's a shadow Rider. And a tough one at that. The Amazon tribe as Bastion stated is made entirely made up of women. Not to insult you or anything, but Wonder Woman is a prime example of an Amazon."

"None Taken. She is a model Amazon but peace can only be bought by the blood of others. My name is Tania." Tania introduced herself before she smirked saucily.

"Now which one of you big strong men wants to duel little ole me? I would never battle a fellow sister."

Elita's eyes narrowed and she snarled her reply.

"Don't do me any favors. I'm as tough as they come." Elita snapped while Optimus placed a hand on her arm.

"So which of you big strong males is my challenge?" Tania asked with a smile.

Megatron scowled and crossed his arms.

"No thanks. I've dueled my share of Females…I'm sitting this one out."

"Why? Scared of little me?" Tania cooed.

"No…Megatron's probably still recovering from…Camula's summoning of…Morgan." Optimus said making Tania frown.

"What did that Vampire do?" She asked curiously.

"She resurrected an old flame of Megatron's." Optimus said making Tania growl in anger.

"Damn her. I knew she was cruel but that was a low blow. Summoning back a soul from the dead and offering it as tribute? Makes my blood just boil thinking about it." Tania sneered before she smirked at Megatron. "Glad that you took care of her though…I'll let you sit out this one time. After that, you're fair game."

"Fine." Megatron said as he sat down and leaned against the wall.

"So, now that's settled…who shall be my challenge?" Tania asked again.

"Yours truly." Chazz snapped as he stepped forward.

"I am it." Bastion said as he too stepped forward.

"I'm going to sit this one out too. I want to spend some time with Elita. We've hadn't gone on a date for a while…I know this isn't the best but…" Optimus when Elita shut him up by kissing him.

"Well, guess that answers that. You better not let him go or else I'll snatch him up sister." Tania catcalled to Elita.

This caused Elita to tighten her grip on her boyfriend as Tania looked at the two boys. She put a finger on her chin as she examined the two.

"If this is the best…then I'll go with…you." Tania said as she pointed at Bastion.

Chazz left grumbling as he joined Syrus, Chumley, a preoccupied Optimus and Elita, and a distant Megatron. The tiger left the field as well leaving only Tania and Bastion.

"So what's your name?" Tania asked with genuine curiosity.

"Bastion. Bastion Misawa." Bastion said with a cold tone.

Tania hummed in acceptance and smiled.

"Here's to a glorious duel then, Bastion."

"Quite…question is…what deck to use?" Bastion said as he opened his blazer up revealing the six decks.

"Huh. It appears that we both have the same trouble. I have two decks here; one of knowledge and the other of courage. You may pick one of the two decks I have." Tania said as she held up two spate decks.

"The deck of knowledge." Bastion said automatically.

"A wise choice." Tania said as she slotted the deck in.

"Yes. I imagine so. But not as nice as the deck I've selected! My earth deck!" Bastion said as he grabbed a deck and slotted it into his own disk.

"Well, then shall we begin? And don't worry Bastion. The duel won't be a shadow game."

"What?" Everyone cried.

"See, I don't want your soul, Bastion. I want you!" Tania said as she wiggled her body some.

Megatron's eyes narrowed and he clenched his teeth.

Shit…she is searching for a husband and with her 'deck guns' it won't be hard to get any boy under her spell. Megatron thought with a grimace.

"Let's duel!" Tania and Bastion cried.

Tania: 4000/Bastion: 4000

"I'll start things off." Tania said as she drew a card.

She glanced at the card before she placed it on her MZ.

"I play the Amazoness Swordswoman in attack mode!"

(Amazoness Swordswoman-LV/4, Attribute/Earth, ATK/1500, DEF/1600, Type/Warrior/Effect. Your opponent takes all Battle Damage that you would have taken from a battle involving this card.)

A woman in leather armor and wielding a sharp sword leapt onto the field with a war cry erupting from her lips. Tania slid a card into her spell/trap zone.

"I'll set one card facedown and end my turn at that."

"Then it's my turn." Bastion said as he drew a card.

The Ra Genius looked at the card he drew before he placed it on his one of his MZs.

"I play Magnet Warrior Sigma Plus in attack mode!"

(Magnet Warrior Sigma Plus-LV/4, Attribute/Earth, ATK/1800, DEF/1500, Type/Rock/Effect. This card cannot declare an attack targeting a "Plus" monster. If your opponent controls a "Minus" monster, this card must attack it, if able.)

A red monster made of various magnets appeared on the field with a burst of static electricity. Bastion clenched his teeth and pointed at the swordswoman.

"I'll now wage an attack on your monster! Go!"

The monster roared as it took its staff and charged it with electricity. The staff met the sword of the woman who moved it up to parry. The staff was stopped but the electricity used the metal to shock the woman into the grave.

Tania: 4000/Bastion: 3700

"What the? How'd Bastion lose life points?" Chazz asked.

"Swordswoman's effect. It inflicts the battle damage to the opponent rather than the controller." Optimus explained.

"That's not like Bastion." Syrus commented.

"Not really. True, he's down on life points but he has the lead with monsters." Elita commented.

"And that's going to change right now." Megatron said with clenched teeth.

"I activate the trap card, Pride of Tribe!"

(Pride of Tribe-Type/Trap/Normal. Activate when an "Amazoness" monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 "Amazoness" monster from your Deck.)

"Thanks to this trap, I can bring another Amazoness to the field in attack mode. Looks like we're back to square one, Hun." Tania said as Bastion slouched a bit as another swordswoman came to the field.

The genius took a breath to steady himself and slid a card into his spell/trap card zone.

"I'll set a facedown and that will suffice."

"Oh! 'That will suffice!'? Say it again! It sounds so cool!" Tania said with a dreamy smile on her face.

"Not good. Tania's probably gone decades without a man so…" Optimus said before Megatron picked it up.

"She's absolutely nuts for a man…and she's doing her damndest to make Bastion fall for her." Megatron snarled.

Any further thoughts were put on hold when Bastion spoke.

"I know what you're trying to do my dear. Pity it won't work. Know why?" Bastion asked with a small grin.

"No, why?" Tania asked genuinely curious.

"I'm too focused. That's why you'll never beat me." Bastion said a bit cockily.

The cocky attitude got Tania a bit miffed.

"Is that so?" Tania snarled as she drew a card.

The Amazon warrior looked at the card she drew before adding it to her hand. She grabbed another card and slammed it into her MZ.

"I play Amazoness Blowpiper in attack mode!"

(Amazoness Blowpiper-LV/3, Attribute/Earth, ATK/800, DEF/1500, Type/Warrior/Effect. Select 1 face-up monster your opponent controls during each of your Standby Phases. It loses 500 ATK until the end of this turn.)

A woman similar to the Swordswoman but smaller jumped onto the field and brought her musical instrument in front of her lips. Bastion smirked as he pressed a button on his disk.

"I play the trap card, Magnet Force Minus!"

(Magnet Force Minus-Type/Trap/Normal. Equip this card to a monster. The equipped monster is treated as a "Minus" monster. If you control a "Plus" monster, the equipped monster must attack it if possible.)

"Due to this trap card, a card on the field is targeted. From there it gains a negative charge and that's where things begin to get interesting. The monster is now known as a Negative monster and if I had happened to have another Negative monster in play, then they wouldn't battle." Bastion explained making Megatron smirk.

"Good move…but I fear this thing is far from over." Megatron whispered to himself.

Bastion went on with his explanation.

"But if a positively charged monster is in play, then the sky's the limit Tania!"

Tania gasped as she got the idea.

"Since Blowpiper is a negative monster…"

Bastion picked right where the woman left off.

"That's right, Magnet Sigma plus is a Positive and therefore the two must battle!"

True to his word, sparks of magnetism came from the two respective monsters and collided with one another. Bastion smirked at the play.

"You know the old saying, 'Opposites attract'? Well, that speaks true here." Bastion said smugly.

"I know of it, just look at us!" Tania said dramatically which made Bastion glower.

"Please! Enough of our acting!"

"This is no act, Bastion! I play the spell card, Amazoness Spellcaster!"

(Amazoness Spellcaster-Type/Spell/Normal. Select 1 face-up "Amazoness" monster you control and 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Switch the original ATK of these monsters until the end of this turn.)

"Uh-oh! That card swaps the attack and defense rating like Shield and Sword!" Chumley said in shock.

"You got that right!" A voice said next to them.

The group turned to see Annie sitting next to Syrus watching the duel with rapt attention.

"Annie? How did you get here?" Syrus asked honestly confused.

"I snuck out of class and followed you." Annie said calmly as if it was the weather.

"Oh." Everyone said as they returned to the duel.

During the conversation the two opposing monster's attack power swapped with the other and Bastion monster was incinerated.

Tania: 4000/Bastion: 2700

"And now, Amazoness Swordswoman! Attack Bastion directly!"

The woman let out a war cry and brought her sword down on the hapless boy causing him to stumble a bit.

Tania: 4000/Bastion: 1200

How did she manage to do that? That's twice now! Bastion thought to himself.

"Well, at least we know where the kids will get their smarts from!" Bastion said good-heartedly.

"KIDS! WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT KIDS! YOU BARELY EVEN KNOW ME!" Bastion hollered.

"I know enough! My little sugar booger."

"Sugar booger? Ok, it's official. I am staying as far away from that woman as possible." Chazz said with a huff.

"I'm not going to comment on that." Optimus wisely said as he crossed his arms.

Is she truly smitten with me? Ah! No! Ridiculous! Just like those silly card crushes Syrus and Chumley have! Bastion thought before he recalled the cards.

He gripped his head and shouted.

"I am above all that!" Bastion roared making the group watch with sweat drops on their brows.

"Man, Bastion's losing it." Chazz said coldly.

"Love works in mysterious ways Chazz." Syrus quipped making Bastion rapidly turn around.

"I AM NOT IN LOVE!" He shouted before he drew a card. "And I'll prove it with this move!"

The Ra genius looked at the card before he revealed a spell card.

"I play the spell card, Magnet Conductor Plus!"

(Magnet Conductor Plus-Type/Spell/Normal. Add 1 "Plus" monster from your Graveyard to your hand.)

"Thanks to this card, I can add one monster that has 'plus' in its name from the grave into my hand." Bastion explained as he took his Sigma plus monster and placed it in his hand.

The card didn't stay for too long; Bastion revealed it and another card in his hand and explained.

"I send both Sigma Plus and Omega Minus from my hand to the graveyard in order to summon out…Conduction Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus!"

(Conduction Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus-LV/7, Attribute/Earth, ATK/2700, DEF/1300, Type/Rock/Effect. This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by sending 1 "Plus" monster and 1 "Minus" monster from your hand or your side of the field to the Graveyard. When this card attacks, you can select 1 face-up "Plus" or "Minus" monster on the field to have this card gain ATK equal to that monster's ATK, until the End Phase. This card cannot attack "Minus" monsters. If your opponent controls a "Plus" monster, this card must attack it if possible.)

A monster that was yellow for its main body and purple cannons emerged onto the field with a roar. Bastion smirked as he looked at his new monster.

"I now play my Warrior's effect. Once a turn, it absorbs half the attacking power of a Minus Monster and adds it to his own!"

Amazoness Blowpiper-ATK/400

C.W.L.M.P.M.-ATK/3100

"He's got her outmatched now!" Optimus shouted with a smile.

"Now my Warrior! Attack the Blowpiper was Pulverizing blast!"

The monster roared before it shot out twin at the hapless woman. She screamed as the blast struck her and Tania caught a static discharge.

Tania: 1700/Bastion: 1200

"I'll set two facedowns and end."

C.W.L.M.P.M-ATK/2700

"What a move! Now I know why I fell for you. And why…" Tania said with joy before doing a one-eighty as she drew her card. "I must beat you!"

The warrior woman looked at the card before smirked.

"I declare an attack with my Amazoness Swordswoman!"

"Not good! If that attack hits, that Bastion is done for!" Elita said with a shudder.

"Then it's a good thing I have a few facedowns to use! Like my quick-play spell, Power Off!"

(Power-off-Type/Spell/Quick-play-Send 1 face-up "Conduction Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus" you control to the Graveyard. Special Summon the monsters used to Special Summon it from your Graveyard.)

"Thanks to this card, my Warrior is split back into the two monsters that formed him thus negating your attack."

"No fair!" Tania cried as the one monster became two.

The warrior shook her head and sighed.

"Oh, well. I'll just have to get you next time. For now I play this!" Tania cried as she slammed a card on her MZ. "I play the Amazoness Paladin in attack mode! This bad girl gains a hundred attack points for each Amazoness in play."

Amazoness Paladin-ATK/1900

A woman in leather armor and a cape arose onto the field with a sword in her right hand. Tania picked two cards from her hand and slid them into her Spell/trap card zone.

"I'll set two cards facedown and that will do for now."

At least now she's concentrating on her dueling rather than me. Bastion thought but he couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret at her not paying attention.

Megatron scowled as he stood up and brushed the seat of his pants off.

"Tania's won this round. Bastion's allowed her to worm her into his heart." Megatron muttered as he stalked off.

"Man, can he be anymore wrong? Bastion will win this." Chazz said snidely.

"Don't get your hopes up…I think Tania is moving in for the kill." Optimus said with frown.

"It's my move!" Bastion said as he drew.

Before he could play a card, Tania spoke.

"Speaking of moves…I think it would be best if you moved in with me, you know, after we get married. Just picture it! We'll have the coziest home! Oops, am I distracting you? I just can't help it! When I'm with a handsome man like yourself, I get all tingly! In fact, I do believe that…" Tania said with a coy smile.

Bastion stepped back as a blush appeared on his face. Optimus's and Elita's eyes widened in a panic.

Oh shit! The two simultaneously thought as they caught the dream-like daze on Bastion.

"I think I'm head over heels in love with you!" Tania said with a grin.

Bastion returned the grin with his own.

"Yes…I believe I am too." Bastion said in a quiet voice.

The genius looked at the card and placed it on his MZ.

"I play Magnet Warrior Sigma Minus in attack mode!"

(Magnet Warrior Sigma Minus-LV/4, Attribute/Earth, ATK/1500, DEF/1800, Type/Rock/Effect. This card cannot declare an attack targeting a "Minus" monster. If your opponent controls a "Plus" monster, this card must attack it, if able.)

A club wielding monster in green, blue and a smidge of yellow appeared with a roar next to his brethren. Bastion looked at the field and nodded.

"I now play the trap card, one hundred thousand gauss!"

(100,000 Gauss-Type/Trap/Normal. Activate only while you control a face-up "Plus" monster and a "Minus" monster. Change 1 of your opponent's face-up Defense Position monsters to Attack Position. It loses 800 ATK.)

"This card can only be used when I have a Plus and Minus monster in play. I can change one of your monsters from defense mode and into attack mode! This card also reduces the attacking power of your Paladin by eight hundred."

Amazoness Paladin-ATK/1100

"Alright! Now that card doesn't stand a chance!" Chazz cheered.

"Not bad. But I play the trap card, Dramatic Rescue!"

(Dramatic Rescue-Type/Trap/Normal. Activate only when a card is activated that targets an "Amazoness" monster. Return the targeted monster to its owner's hand and Special Summon 1 other monster from your hand.)

"This little trap card allows me to return my Paladin and summon out a new creature. So I summon out, Amazoness Tiger in attack mode!"

There was a flash of light as Paladin was returned to the hand and a large tiger with a scar over its left took its place. Tania smirked as soon as the monster was in play.

(Amazoness Tiger-LV/4, Attribute/Earth, ATK/1100, DEF/1800, Type/Beast/Effect. You can only control 1 "Amazoness Tiger". This card gains 400 ATK for each "Amazoness" monster you control. Your opponent cannot attack another "Amazoness" monster.)

"Thanks to my pet, he gains four hundred attack points per Amazoness monster in play and you have to target him and him alone." Tania explained.

Amazoness Tiger-ATK/1900

"Oh great. Now Bastion's got more to deal with." Elita mumbled.

"Omega Minus! Attack her tiger!" Bastion shouted suddenly much to the shock of Optimus.

"Doesn't he know that Tania still has a facedown card?" Optimus shouted.

"Shit! The talk of love must frozen his gears! He's thrown logic out the window!" Chazz thundered as Tania laughed.

"Got ya! I activate the trap card, Amazoness Archers!"

(Amazoness Archers-Type/Trap/Normal. Activate only when your opponent declares an attack while you control an "Amazoness" monster. All monsters your opponent controls are changed to face-up Attack Position (Flip Effects are not activated), and lose 500 ATK as long as they remain face-up on the field.
