Hello, guys and gals, and fellow Yu-Gi-Oh fans. I have another update to my story starting this week. How were your weekends? Anyway, let's get started, but I have to warn you for viewer discretion, but it is not so bad. I hope you will all enjoy this new chapter.
UPDATE(7/15/15): Added the New Cards Cheat Sheet.
Chapter 27-Monkey in the Barrel-
It was now noon, specifically lunchtime. Mike and Hannah were eating hot dogs at the table, put out by the hot dog stand nearby. "Mmmmm, this is delicious." Hannah mumbled, munching her hot dog.
"I don't know why, but eating this tastes even better after a Duel or even finding someone to Duel me." Mike stated.
"I agree! It does take a lot of energy to find someone to Duel you. Oh, I just hope Ace's doing fine somewhere." She said, blushing.
"I'm pretty sure he's doing fine (and maybe even doing better than me)." Mike sighed.
Hannah was about to touch her drink when suddenly a white mouse appeared in front of her when she touched it. "Eeek!" She squeaked.
Her squeak almost made Mike choke himself. "What's, gulp, wrong?"
"The...There's a mouse on the table! Get it off!" She screamed, making everyone around them to eyed awkwardly at them.
Suddenly, the mouse hoped on Hannah, causing her to scream very loudly. She whipped it off from her and ran away as the mouse chased after her.
"Wait, Hannah! Come back!" Mike yelled as he also chased after her.
5 minutes later, he lost sight of her. "Where did she go? How far did she ran?" He asked to himself.
When he was about to search elsewhere, he noticed a fainted person on the street. He walked over to the person, taking a look and realized it was a woman. "Oh my god! Are you OK?" He asked hesitantly.
"Mmm, yeah, but...need water." She said in weak tone. Mike quickly gave her the water bottle that he had. She drank it all until it was empty. She got up on her feet, feeling all refreshed or restored.
The woman wore a very short jean and shirt with monkey cartoon character for the design, but the head was stretched outward thanks to her bust. She had red eyes, glowing pink lips, and violet red hairs with all tips spiky out, and the back of her head was also spiky.
Mike dropped his mouth wide, but quickly shut it off before she noticed.
"Oh, thank you for saving me, boy! I really appreciate it!" She cheered joyfully.
"Um mum, you're welcome." He said nervously, trying not to be distracted by her attractive appearance.
"Hey, are you OK?" She chuckled, with her eye lidded seductively.
"Um! I am OK! Completely! I am just glad that I helped!" Mike kept himself under control. "By the way, why were you fainted?"
"Oh that! Well, you see, I got separated from my friend. I looked everywhere for her, but couldn't find her. I got so tired that I fainted out of hydration." She explained, with tear dropping from her eyes as she whipped it off.
"I...see." Mike sweat dropped.
"But, thanks to you!" She hold his hands, making him blush in red. "You saved me from my misery of dehydration. I just want to say thank you."
She hold his hands, almost a centimeter away from her chest. Mike wrestled out his hands quickly.
"I'm glad that you appreciate it, but I need to go. I'm actually looking for my friend, too" Mike explained.
"Really? Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go find our respective friend together!" She decided, grabbing Mike's arm and dragging him along. "Oh, by the way, my name is Minnie. What is yours?"
"My. name. is. Mike!" He said, feeling dizzy as he was being dragged along.
Yu-Gi-Oh Muikai
Muiko and Cody Hackin were walking down the street as they were eating their sandwich. "So far, so good, Muiko. You have retrieved two crystals today. Only 4 more to go."
"Indeed." She nodded.
Suddenly, they heard a someone screaming. Muiko noticed a burglar running away. "Help! My purse got stolen!" An old lady yelled.
Muiko began running, chasing after the thief. Cody chased after her. "Wait, Miss Muiko!" He shouted.
She was right behind the burglar, pursuing him. Suddenly, the burglar got hit by someone in front of him. It was a tall man (about 6 ft) with light blond, curly hair. He took the purse off from the burglar. Muiko stopped at the scene as Cody came later, panting from the running. The police then arrived at the scene, arresting the burglar and the man gave the purse to the officer.
"My, my. What a pity for that man. If you commit crime, you got to do the time, you know." He said to Muiko and Cody.
"...Yeah." She replied calmly.
"Well, at least the purse is back to the rightful owner." Cody stated. "Who are you, sir?"
"I am sorry to not mention it at first. My name is Drake Lamb. It is nice to meet you." He greeted politely.
"Hello, Mr. Lamb. My name is Cody Hackin, assistant to Muiko." Cody greeted back.
"Hi." She said.
"It is pleasure to meet you both." He said with a smile. "If I may ask, are you both a Duelist participating in the Cup of Scorch tournament?"
"Not me, but my friend, Muiko here, is a participant." Cody admitted.
"I see! That's sound very terrific! You see, I am a participant, too." Drake explained. "Although, I am having a little trouble finding someone to Duel me since my last Duel. If it is OK, would you accompany me in a Duel?"
"That does sound good, Mr. Lamb!" Cody agreed. "What do you think, Muiko?"
Muiko stared for a moment. "I accept the challenge."
"Splendid, but first, let's go find a more suitable place to Duel." Drake said as he led them to somewhere else.
Yu-Gi-Oh Muikai
Mike and Minnie looked around to find Hannah, and her friend, whoever she is. They went to the park, the mall, and even searched from a Ferris Wheel.
"No sign of Hannah. Where is she of all places!?" Mike thought.
"Phew. No sign of my friend or your friend." Minnie sighed.
"Yeah, and it is kind of getting late too." Mike said, checking the clock app on his Duel Disk which tells the time was now 5:00 pm.
"Say, Mike." Minnie said.
"Um, yes." He turned to her face.
"Even though we couldn't find our friend." She walked up closer to him. "I just want to say." She walked up even closer to him. "Thank you for helping me."
Mike back stepped away. "Umm, it is no problem." Mike said as redness appeared on his cheek.
"Say Mike, I was wondering." She said with her eyes lidded. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Mike gasped. "What!? Oh, I mean! Well, um, no." He answered hesitantly.
"I see. Well, if you don't mind..." Mike's heart beeped so loudly like if his heart is going to explode out of his chest like a baby alien. "duel me?"
He stared for a moment, recuperating his thought. "Pardon?" He questioned.
"You have a Duel Disk, and so am I. So, it would be normal to have a Duel, right." She stated. "So, how about it? Let's Duel since we are participant in this tournament."
"Wait. You are in the Cup of Scorch, too!?" Mike surprised.
"Yeap! So, do you want to Duel me or not?" She asked with her seductive lidded eyes. "I don't bite at all."
Mike thought for a moment before he speak up. "I...guess it is fine. It is the rule, anyway. I accept your challenge." Mike agreed, activating his Duel Disk.
She activated her Duel Disk, which had a design of monkey face and the blade had a curly tail on either end.
"Duel Mode Standby. Action Field Selection On!" The roulette spun around until it landed on a card. "Action Field Selected! Field Spell, Sunset Savanna on!"
The surrounding area transformed into a savanna with a sun setting down about 45 degree or less in the sky. It looked like a real savanna in Africa. "Wow, this field looks...amazing." Mike awed.
"It is really nice, but you should focus on the pretty old me, Mike." She chuckled, making him to pay back in attention.
"Right." He said.
"Duelists locked in battles!" She stated.
"Kicking the earth and dancing in the air alongside their monster!" Mike followed up.
"They storm through the air!"
"Behold! This is the newest and greatest evolution of Dueling!"
"Action..."
"DUEL!" The cards above them burst and shattered.
"Since I call the challenge, I go first!" Minnie cheered. "I normal summon my Level 4 Hottail Pyro Chimp in ATK mode!"
A red monkey with fire at the tip of its tail jumped out of the summoning portal, clapping its hands in excitement. "I activate its effect! When it is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, I get to draw a card."
She drew her card and giggled. "Thanks to its effect, I can Special Summon the drawn card from my hand!" She kissed her card before she lay on her Duel Disk's blade. "I Special Summon Level 2 Hottail Flamespider Monkey!"
A monkey with multiple arms appeared out of the portal. Like her first monster, it had a fire burning at the tip of its tail.
"When Hottail Flamespider Monkey is Special Summoned, its Level is increased by two!" She stated as the said monster jumped and did back roll twice, increasing its Level to 4. "With that, I use two of my monsters to create the overlay network!"
Both monsters screamed together, turning into two red energies as they swallowed into the spiral galaxy portal. "Mighty maiden of the Hottail clan! Confuse your foes with your beauty and blow death kisses! Xyz Summon! Rank 4! Hottail Lady Chimp!"
A very sexy, tall feminine monkey appeared in front of her. She looked very humanoid while standing on two feet like a human. She wore a bra with flame design, red lips, and orange eyelashes with a tine of flame on either end. Like all other Hottail monsters, she has a flame burning on the tip of the tail.
"I set one card and end my turn." Minnie ended.
"Wow! She summoned an Xyz monster in one turn." Mike thought. "But, I better stay focus in this one, especially. Her monster looks...uhhh, too revealing I would say."
"My turn, I draw!" He drew his card and added it to his hand. "I normal summon Rapier Knight!" A female warrior with her rapier appeared on his side as it made her battle pose ready.
"Wow, what a cute, sexy monster you have there, Mike." Minnie teased, making even Rapier Knight blushed a little, but shrugged it off.
"With her monster with 1000 ATK and mine at 1500 ATK, I should attack, but first.." Mike thought as he ran and snatched an Action card on the ground. "I activate the Action Spell, Savanna Glass Trap!"
This one depicted a tall grass that grows in savanna tangling Spell and Trap cards. "With this, my opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap during the Battle Phase."
Glasses grew on her side of the field, covering up her Trap. "Oh no! What to do?" She cried, although sarcastically.
"Next, I declare Rapier Knight to destroy your monster! Battle Phase! Attack her Xyz, Rapier Knight!" He called out as his monster launched for an attack. Minnie gave a sly eye when he did.
"I may not activate Spell or Trap during this phase, but I can do this!" She exclaimed. "Lady Chimp's ability is activated! When she is targeted by battle, by using one overlay unit, if she gets destroyed, you gain double the damage that I take for this turn."
Rapier Knight pierced her rapier through Minnie's monster, exploding it. She took 500 damage and Mike took 1000 damage. "Rapier Knight's effect is activated. When she makes battle damage, you deal with 300 additional points of damage!" Mike exclaimed.
His knight attacked again with her rapier as it poked Minnie. "Ouch!" She cried, losing another 300 Life Points. "Oh, Mike! Why did you do that?"
She made a sad, yet cute face, sitting down and revealing her legs. "I...I...this is just part of the rule, that's all!" He explained, sweat dropping.
"OK!" She cheered back to her happy self.
"Phew. Anyway, I set one card and end my turn." Mike finished.
"My turn, I draw!" She said with her drawn card on her two fingers. "Trap open! Xyz Resurrection!"
This Trap had Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon resurrecting out of the graveyard ground. "This Trap allows me to Special Summon one Xyz monster from my Graveyard and use this card as its overlay unit. I bring back my Hottail Lady Chimp!"
The Graveyard portal opened up, revealing the monster Mike destroyed as the Trap card became a red comet, then orbiting the resurrected monster's body. "Next up, I use the Spell card from my hand. Rank Up Magic Fiery Passion activates!"
This Spell depicted a man serenading to a woman in the balcony as his heart burned in flame. "What is that do!?" Mike gasped.
"You see, Mike my boy. With it, I select one FIRE monster on my side of the field and Special Summon a new FIRE Xyz monster with one Rank higher than the selected monster. I select my Hottail Lady Chimp to Xyz Summon! Rank up Xyz Change!"
Her monster turned into a fiery red energy as it swallowed into the spiral galaxy spiral. A burst of energy spilled out of the portal, revealing a shadow of a new monster. It was big, muscular, and hairy. There were flame rings on the wrists, acting like a bracelet. It slapped its chest like a drum. "Meet my fiery king of the Hottail! Hottail Volcarilla!"
It roared loudly, standing at 20 feet tall and revealing 2800 ATK points. "It is basically a King Kong!" Mike gasped.
"I declare Hottail Volcarilla to attack! Battle Phase! Destroy his Knight Rapier, Volcarilla! Fire Punch!" Minnie declared.
Volcarilla's left fist fired up into a fire, delivering a fiery punch. It brought a blow to his monster, burning it before it exploded.
"Rrrrggh!" Mike muttered as he took damage. His Life Points went down to 1700.
"What do you think about my monster, Mike? Pretty hot, don't you think?" She winked at him.
"Yeah, pretty painfully hot." Mike thought. He the noticed an Action card where he collapsed in the glass. He picked it up, but realized it was a Trap card. "Oh crap!"
This one depicted a sweat dropping, worried Goblin in middle of lion pack, getting ready to attack on him. "Oh my! You activated an Action Trap, Ambush. When it is activated, you take 1000 points of damage." Minnie explained.
Suddenly, faded forms of lion jumped out of the Trap card, attacking on Mike. Even though they go through his body like ghosts, he still felt pain. "Aaah! Uuu! Aaaaaahh!" He screamed as his Life Points go down to 700.
"Well, I end my turn." She said. "It is your turn, Mike. Just don't hurt me too much..., or yourself."
Mike, who was on his knee and calming down his pain, got up slowly. "I can't believe I already lost more than half of my Life Points in short time!" Mike pondered. "Minnie's tougher than she looks...or maybe I'm just that weak."
Mike think about it, but shrugged it off because of Muiko's words to him. "No...it is not that I am weak or anything like that. I just need to focus. Even when she has a powerful Xyz monster like Vocarilla on the field, I can still find a way to beat it and win!"
He put his two fingers on the top of his Deck. "Just like all the duels that Muiko had that I've seen, I have to focus on this draw!" He thought. "My turn, I DRAW!"
Mike conducted his Destiny Draw as his drawn card shone in light. He looked at it, and smiled at it. "Alright! I think I can win this!" He thought out loud. Minnie gave a glare when he said that.
"I normal summon Victory Fighter Support Unit!" A 5 armed soldiers, wearing outfits similar to a heavy duty SWAT team leapt out of the summoning portal. Three of the soldiers held guns, and the other two have shields that are used to protect themselves at the scene of the crime. The ones who hold the shield was in the frontline while the other three were at the backline.
"Interesting, but...those soldiers of yours aren't strong enough to destroy my monster, Mike." Minnie pointed out.
"That may be, but they won't because they will help me to bring out a monster that can destroy your monster!" Mike exclaimed.
"Huh?" She asked.
"I then play the Spell card from my hand! Clone Dice!" This one depicted three clones of ninja throwing their pair of dice while playing a board game. "This Spell allows me to select one monster on my side of the field. Then, I throw a dice. If it lands a number other than 5 or 6, I can Special Summon a number of token monster with the selected monster's name and Level equals to the number that the dice landed on. Go, Clone Dice!"
The green dice rolled, slowly landing whatever number it lands on. It landed on two. "Yes! Just enough! I now Special Summon two Token monsters with Victory Fighter Support Unit's name, but with 0 ATK and DEF points!"
His monster cloned itself as one appeared on their left and another one appeared on their right. "Could this be?" Minnie thought.
"I now use three of my Level 3 Victory Fighter Support Unit to construct the overlay network!"
His three monsters turned into blue energies, and they swallowed into the spiral galaxy portal. "Ninja of the shadow and master of traps! Stop my foes and snatch victory for my battle! Xyz Summon! Come and show yourself! Rank 3! Victory Fighter Ninja Trapster!"
This monster looked like a man in a full black Ninja outfit, green goggles over his eyes, face completely covered, grey utility belt, his arms and legs are wrapped in grey ropes, and has a short sword on his back. It posed in a regular ninja pose like in the anime, revealing its 2000 ATK points.
"Sorry to rain down your parade, but that monster is not even strong enough against my Xyz monster." Minnie remarked.
"Don't worry about that, because I activate the Equip Spell, Victory Boost!" This Spell depicted a Victory Fighter Hope shone in yellow aura. "I equip it my monster and it gains 1000 points in ATK."
His monster burst in yellow aura like the Spell depicted. "With that, it has enough ATK points to destroy Hottail Volcarilla. Next, I equip it with one more Equip Spell, Victory Shiriken!" Mike exclaimed.
This one depicted a shiny metal shiriken with the Chinese character for victory for its design.
"I equip it to my monster, and it gains additional 500 ATK points." His monster's aura got bigger, increasing its ATK to 3500. "Finally, I declare my Ninja Trapster to attack! Go, Ninja Trapster!"
His ninja moved so fast that Volcarilla was confused of its movement. It then appeared right in front of him before it slashed into pieces. Minnie lost 200 Life Points.
"You shouldn't have done that, Mike my boy! I activate Volcarilla's effect! When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, it is Special Summoned right after it was destroyed and you gains damage equal to half of your monster's ATK, the one that destroyed my Volcarilla! You will now take 1600 points of damage!"
Her monster climbed out of the Graveyard portal and roared loudly. It drummed its chest, unleashing a wave of heat, aiming at Mike. "Not so fast!" Mike shouted. "I activate Victory Fighter Ninja Trapster's effect! By using one overlay unit, I choose one monster on the field, and it loses 500 ATK and DEF points, and its effect is negated!"
"Say what!?" Minnie gasped.
"Ninja Trapster! Use your Art of Trap Seal!" His monster conducted a ninjustu, making a chain appeared out of his sleeves and it wrapped around Volcarilla tightly. It tried to wrestle out of the chain, but it was no use as its ATK and DEF points decreased to 2300. The wave of heat that was coming toward Mike faded away before it reached him.
"This can't be." Minnie said with her arms slapped on her cheeks.
"It can be." Mike said. "Now, I activate Victory Shirikent's second effect! I can un-equip it from my monster and remove it from play from the field to destroy one monster on your side of the field. Then, you lose Life Points equal to your destroyed monster's original ATK points!"
"What?!" She gasped.
"Go, Ninja Trapster!" Mike exclaimed. His monster threw the shiriken at her monster, slicing it through before it exploded. The impact of the explosion threw her off the ground. "Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh!" She screamed as her Life Points go down to zero.
The victory screen showed Mike as the winner before the field, monsters, and everything else faded away.
Mike walked over to her and offered her his hand. "Hey, are you alright?" He asked.
She looked at him for a moment, and then accepted his offer. "Thank you, Mike." She said, getting herself up. "You're really strong guy. Maybe I should ask you to be my boyfriend."
"Wh..what!? Ah, I mean, well, I don't know and. Uuhhh!" Mike muttered nervously.
"Hey Mike!" A familiar voice shouted to him. He turned around and noticed it was Hannah.
"Hannah!" He yelled back.
She ran over to him. "Hey, what's up."
"Don't what's up to me! Where have you been?!" He asked.
"Sorry, but after running away from that creepy mouse, I noticed that it was gone while I was getting away from it. After I stopped running, I noticed that I ran all the way to the dock, so I went back to where we got the hot dog, but you weren't there anymore. So, I went to look for you." She explained.
"Well, at least I am glad that you're OK now." Mike said, sighing a bit. "I was Dueling against a woman named Minnie here and..."
When he turned back around, Minnie had disappeared. "Huh? That's weird. Where did she go?"
He then noticed a piece of crystal lying on the ground. He picked it up. "Hey! You got a new piece of the crystal. That means 4 more to go." Hannah cheered.
"Yeah..." He said, with his mind on Minnie.
"What's wrong, Mike? Have you been seeing ghost or something?" She asked, teasing him.
"Um. Never mind." Mike replied.
"Well, at least finding that piece was very lucky! Anyway, let's go home. It is getting late." Hannah decided.
"Yeah. Let's go back home and continue tomorrow." Mike agreed as they walked to home.
"I wonder where Minnie disappeared to." He thought.
As for Minnie, she was watching Mike and Hannah walking back home together from the rooftop of a building. Suddenly, a dark portal appeared behind her and little girl in white dress appeared. She had dark blue eyes and her hair was black, curly, and long. "Hey, it's you." Minnie said, turning her head to her shoulder.
"Don't hey me. You should apologize to Mr. Cheese." She said, taking out the same white mouse out of her little purse she carry.
"My bad, but in exchange I dueled against a cute guy. You know, the boy who hang out with the girl with the Golden Angel Dragon." Minnie stated.
"You mean him. How was he?" She asked with excitement in her eyes.
"Well, he is cute and kind. However, he isn't that strong, but I would say he has potential." Hannah commented, turning around to face the girl.
"Oh. Well, that sucks. Here I thought he is supposed to be really strong, but I guess he isn't what I thought he would be." The girl said, sounding disappointed.
"Don't worry, Alice. So, did you found two of the five golden crystal pieces?" She asked.
"Not yet. Pup is still looking for all of them, but I did heard from Toro that he found one and gave it to Drake." Alice explained.
"Oh, that's unfair! Why would he get it first before us pretty ladies!?" She puffed in anger.
"I know right!" Alice puffed her cheek, too. Then, they laughed together from looking each other face being angry.
"Ok, ok. Let's go find ones for ourselves. It is part of the mission, anyway." Minnie smirked.
"Okey dokey!" Alice agreed as they entered the dark portal, and then disappeared.
So, what do you guys and gals think? I want to give credits to pokemonking0924 for creating Victory Fighter Support Unit and Victory Fighter Ninja Trapster. I think they are both creative and awesome monsters. Anyway, I will see you guys and gals next time with another chapter. I will add the New Cards Cheat Sheet later, probably tomorrow. Cya next time!
