Sorry for the long, long wait…. I hate procrastination, but I finally got it done for you guys. It's a really, really, really long chapter, the longest I have ever done and probably the longest I'll ever do. It came in at 11 902 words so… yea :P worked my butt off to get it done. So yea, hope you enjoy. Also…. For most of this duel I was listening to The Rains of Castamere and the last bit of the duel and the rest of the chapter Breaking Benjamin… so… I had a lot of fun.
Chapter 5
Fabled Future
6:00 PM
Regan was picking at the food in front of her plate. It smelt good, but it wasn't appealing enough to make her want to eat it. She ate half of it by the time the campus security member came get back with their escorts. She rolled her eyes at the thought. The other three students that weren't part of her supernatural group adjusted themselves in annoyance. They didn't look all that thrilled about having an escort either. Her group looked slightly more annoyed than the three students. Joey and Tristan didn't look as annoyed as the rest of them as they didn't have escorts, but Regan could read why they were annoyed. They didn't need people to watch their every move and they didn't need someone without experience in their field of profession and have something happen and possibly have them seriously injured.
Fonda's and Spyro's escorts were already conversing with the two students as Regan came out of thought.
"Regan, your escort is Mellissa MacGowan." The security member said as the said woman walked in front of Regan's chair.
She had black hair, medium length, and in a French braid with clear blue eyes. Light freckles danced on her face with the blazing fire off to the right. Regan could tell the woman was much taller than her even though Regan was sitting down. Regan looked over and compared her to the other escorts and noticed the woman seemed to have more experience than the others. She tried to read the woman's aura to see what the woman was thinking, but nothing was there; she still sucked at seeing auras and since the episode in the Dragon Slayers' headquarters she hadn't been able to sense the auras of people well either, like a bad internet connection. Mellissa didn't say anything as Atem was assigned his escort that Regan didn't catch the name of. There was silence as Melissa's eyes seemed to fill with amusement. Regan was tempted to glare, but decided against it as she could be imagining the amusement and not what Mellissa was actually thinking.
"Yugi, your escort is Wallace Kellen." The security member said as the second last male step forward.
Wallace had dirty blond hair with grey eyes that didn't show anything. She concentrated on the other escorts as she tried to read them again. She didn't need hers or the other escorts to back stab them when they actually needed the protection. She didn't get anything once more and felt even more frustrated. Leave it to her ability to fail on her when she needed it, like the days before she had the River's Puzzle.
She got up out of her chair abruptly and turned for the staircase. She felt everyone turn to her and she sighed inwardly at how her sense just happen to work for a second as she was about to leave. "Before you ask, I'm just going to my room."
"Alright, we'll get you when we should be heading out to the top of the mountain." Spyro said as Melissa's steps moved closer to her.
"Fine, but it's not going to pretty if you do come." She hissed unintentionally as thoughts of all her other supernatural duels had gone.
She muttered an apology towards her classmates as she went up the stairs to the ground floor. Melissa followed her as she walked past the blood covered wall and up the stairs up to the second floor. When she got to her room, Phoenix was sitting in front of her door with his tail flicking back and forth. He meowed and Regan walked into her opened room. She looked around and almost wanted to cry at how disastrous her room looked. Her clothes were everywhere, closet door was unhinged and in the middle of her floor, her cards that were in two binders nice and neat and sorted were over every surface like the person who destroyed her room deliberately dumped the cards as if looking for a card. Her books were tossed about off their shelves, and the curtains were on the floor and in the bathroom door. The only thing that was in the same spot as she left it was her laptop sitting on her desk untouched. She could hear the water in the bathroom sink running as she stepped in. She carefully walked around things as she made it to the bathroom and shut the water off.
"Well isn't this a mess." Melissa said from outside of the room. Her Irish accent surprised Regan for a split second before anger entered her head.
Regan popped out of the bathroom in annoyance and glared. "If you aren't helping me with this mess then buzz off. I don't need your narration."
"Last thing I'm going to do is buzz off; the second last thing I'm going to do is help you with this mess. It's your stuff, you can put it away."
"Then stand outside of my room while I clean this myself."
"No can do," The woman answered. "I was given special orders from Chancellor Shepard not to leave you all by yourself because you have a tendency of running off."
"Fine," Regan raised her voice and pointed to the only corner of the room that didn't have anything in it. "Go over there."
Melissa rolled her eyes and walked over to the corner avoiding all of the things on the ground. Phoenix trotted in not avoiding everything in his path and jumped onto the bed sending cards onto the floor and onto her pillows falling asleep as soon as he lied down. She looked around the room as she opened iTunes on her computer and hit the random button. Set the World on Fire by Black Veil Brides came on. She turned to the door and closed it and turned to the things around the room and decided to pick up the clothes first. She picked them up and as she went more cards appeared from the clothing. What disturbed her most was they went through her underwear drawer. It's not like she had a special kind of underwear, just hipster typing and regular bras, nothing was even lace, and she never did hide anything in the drawer, but it was still a private drawer. Once she was done with clothes, she picked up the curtain and placed it back on its hooks. She jumped down from her bed and fixed the dumped trash can. After that she went after the books and then finally looked around the room to find cards strung everywhere. She sighed as Without Me by Eminem started up.
She started by picking up all the cards and putting them into decent sized piles on top of her desk. She was vaguely aware that Melissa was watching her every move and Regan wonder if she could scare the woman on the first day by summoning a monster and maybe she could be alone. She shook the thought away as she picked up a spell card. She had other things to be worried about other than an escort that could be a double agent like Jason was. After five songs, she made sure all the cards were picked up and were sitting on her desk. She walked the last few stragglers and placed them on one of the smaller piles. She picked up the two binders on her chair and tossed them on her bed.
She turned back to the cards and started sorting them by their attribute and type of card. After another six songs she finally had all the cards in their piles: Light, Dark, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Spell/Magic, Trap, Fusion, cards that went together like harpies and some of the Toon cards that she kept finding in her purse and book bag every once and a while, and Ritual. She turned to her Dark Attribute monsters and started sorting them out according to star. She was aware that when she got more cards her system of sorting them would be pointless, but she did it anyway as it as the attributes that counted. She did this for the other attribute cards and then turned to her spell and magic cards. Some of her green cards said "magic" while others said "spell" and she knew that the game was changing slowly. She smiled as she started separating them into their types of cards: field, continuous, equip, quick, ritual, and normal. She couldn't wait for what was ahead in the game. It didn't take her as long as she turned to the Trap cards. She sorted those the same way of Counter, continuous, and normal. When she was done she stretched and turned to the binders on her bed and brought the first one over and started to file the cards into the sheets. As she went through the cards she created ideas for her deck. She left out spaces for the cards that she came across and started up a pile. After three hours she was finished and placing the cards that she exchanged and decided she didn't want for her deck back into the binders.
She stood up and put the binders away up on their shelf in her closest. She turned to the door and looked at it as it lied on the floor. She gathered the pegs for the door and shoved them into her pocket as she reached for the door. She picked it up and placed it on its hinges shutting the door shut. Regan grabbed her desk chair and picked it up and brought over the door to place on the top peg. She got off the chair and placed the last two pegs in and swung open the door. It opened like a charm so she closed it and put her chair back. She turned to her deck and deck box that sat quietly on the desk as Europa by Globus blasted out of the speakers. She grabbed her deck box and moved the divider out of the way to find the card from that night a few months back. There was a knock on the door and she immediately knew it was Yugi like her radar was on a freak show.
"Come in Yugi." Regan said turning to the door. She caught an eyebrow raised from Melissa as Yugi came in. He looked around and pinpointed on the card in her hand.
"Glad to see you are all tied up as well." Yugi started. "What card is that?"
Regan didn't answer him as she turned to her escort. "I would like to talk to my boyfriend in private if you could… leave… now, please."
"Ya got it." Melissa said moving from her one spot in the corner of the room for the last four hours. "Just don't sneak off, I will know."
"Doubt it," Regan mumbled as woman left shutting the door behind her. She turned down the music that turned to In the End by Linkin Park.
"So is that your brother's Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon?" Yugi asked her as he looked over it.
"No, this is the one I got from the building." Regan told him as she remembered the sudden appearance of it. "It's funny how I didn't even recognize her until she said her name. I must have been seriously out of it not to remember Seto played her in the Gamer's Trials."
"Well, you were running on your access aura so I don't think Blue-Eyes will take any offense to that." Yugi smiled but it immediately turned to a frown as he realized she wasn't smiling. "What is the problem? You are looking at the card like it holds the answer to the universe."
"I have the answer to the universe, forty-two, but this card… I don't understand how it was my Ka spirit."
"Well everyone has a Ka spirit, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon happens to be yours."
"Alright, answer me this riddle," Regan said turning to him and felt ready to break into tears at her helplessness of not even being able to read Yugi who stood right beside him. "Why has my ability to read aura and to sense people completely diminished since that night?"
Yugi blinked in surprise. "What do you mean? I thought you were coming along as an aura user and almost an Aura Master."
"I was; I can still use my aura as long as I'm using the River's Puzzle and the aura swords as my instrument, but other than that it's like my ability took a trip to go around the world. It works sometimes, like when I knew you were behind that door, but right now it's like how it was before I even had the puzzle."
"Have you asked Nile about it?"
"Only a thousand times and she has no idea, it's never been heard of by her and she's been with Ryou discussing it with him for the last few months. He has brought up ideas but, they don't make any sense."
Yugi looked absolutely puzzled as he sat on her bed. "How many nets did you have on you before the whole thing ended?"
"The aura stealing ones, two partially and three on solidly for a while,"
"Maybe it's because of Them." Yugi stated. "They might have enough of your aura to manipulate it so you aren't as sensitive as you should be."
She joined him on the bed. "Isn't that great, I'm not only handicapped of my abilities, but it might be because of Them, I don't know why we didn't think of this earlier."
"Probably because it didn't cross any of our minds that those nets were actually important, you destroyed the headquarters and destroyed all the net devices that you and your brothers have located. Obviously the ones that were used were given back to whoever this group is." Yugi said as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "And we will get your ability back up to normal and then we can find a way to defeat them. I promise."
"Thank you, Yugi."
"Maybe, this is why they decided to attack now. Because you can't use your aura ability like you used too. I really don't like the idea of you dueling knowing this."
"Yea, but it's not like Jason will just let anyone duel him for me and give Chancellor Sheppard back."
"I know," Yugi sighed, "But still, this could be a trap created by Them and there's that message on the wall. Maybe I can get him to duel me instead."
"Yugi, I can still duel with everything I have. I just have the perception of a regular human now; I'm not weak, injured or tired, just stressed over not understanding why."
"But-" Yugi started, but there was a knock at the door and Melissa's head popped in.
"It's time to get ready to go; your professor is going to take you the quickest way to the top of the volcano. And just a suggestion, if you have any weaknesses, you might want to try and get someone else to duel for you. I don't like where this is going."
Yugi stood up from the bed and stood in front of Regan slightly. "What are you talking about? What do you know about Jason?"
Regan looked up at Yugi, but she couldn't see his face and her ability was completely shut off so she couldn't sense anything from him.
"Nothing, I'm just speaking from experience of a co-worker. I just never liked the guy from day one; there was something off about him."
Regan narrowed her eyes at the woman, she felt like she knew more, but Melissa didn't seem to notice the glare.
"I'm fine to duel, but thanks for your consideration." Regan replied as she stood up.
"I'm still going to fight to see if I can duel Jason." Yugi stated to Regan.
Regan walked over to her desk and grabbed her deck box. She placed the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon card in the back part where it was sitting before. She picked up her deck and gave it to Yugi. "I added some new cards, I found some that I didn't even knew I had and well, they called out so I put them in. I think they work with my deck nicely, though they don't follow the dark and light monsters I usually have in there."
Yugi took the deck and started to flip through it and she watched his eye brows raise as he stopped at and pulled three of them out. "Where did you get these, I have never seen them before."
"Didn't know I had it, like I said, they just appeared."
He read the cards and breathed out the breath he was holding. "If this was just a single card, it would have been the same as the three god cards. Maybe the three cards were dropped by the person who destroyed the rooms."
Regan shook her head. As she grabbed her binder from her closet and flipped to the last page. "I actually have a theory; I think it was Maximillion is the one who slipped them into my collection somehow. Ever since we stayed in his getaway house, cards have been appearing in whatever bag I happen to be carrying the day I find them." She turned the binder to Yugi. "Their toons and if I remember correctly, toons are his signature card."
"You even have the Toon card of Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
"Yes and I haven't told my brother about the cards either."
"Don't, he would lose it." Yugi said in amusement and turned back to the cards in his hand. "These cards, Horus the Black Flame, you need to be careful with them. If Pegasus did give them to you and they were placed in these level versions it was probably done for a reason. And a warning, Horus might not respond to your call the first few times."
"Why would that be?"
"Because gods are like that, the Egyptian god cards didn't do that for me until after the orichalcos incident, but listened to Kaiba and Atem without delay, so who knows how Horus will react to being in your deck. One thing that I am for sure of is that Pegasus placed Horus into a level up format so he would be safer for other duelists in case you wanted to duel against someone with them."
"Makes sense I guess." Regna replied as he continued to go through her deck, he stopped again was about to say something when someone broke in first.
"Are you guys going to talk about cards all night or are you going to go and save your chancellor?" Melissa interrupted. "You are going to be late and you should be seriously thinking about haggling to get your boyfriend or one of the other duelists to duel in your place."
"Why is that?" Regan asked cautiously.
"Just because you're stressed and your mind isn't thinking on the one thing that is actually important right now." The woman replied. "Now let's go."
Regan took back her deck from Yugi and placed it in her deck box. She grabbed her duel disk from her bag and put it on. When she turned around, Yugi was gone and she could hear his footsteps heading to his room. She walked passed Melissa and out the door. Her coat flared out behind her as her pace quickened. Yugi left his room just in front of her and the two walked across the loft and down the stairs to meet the other eight students who were waiting. The escorts were standing beside each of the students and looked a little tired.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go up to the volcano," Professor Banner said as he turned to the door and opened it.
"Isn't this where the teacher stands in front of the door and orders us not to leave the building as it's too dangerous for any of us to go against such a dangerous person with magic powers." Ryou asked in confusion.
Professor Banner turned back to them in confusion. "Why would I stop you from going out and help save our chancellor. Sure it might be dangerous, but what isn't in this life."
"I really like you teach, are you sure there isn't a room for me to stay here?" Joey complimented.
"I believe all the rooms are full right now." The professor replied with a smile and then walked outside.
It was rather silent as they walked the path towards the mountain. There wasn't a moon in the sky so nothing was lighting their way except for the few flashlights some of them had. Regan walked side by side with Yugi as he carried a flashlight.
"Are you sure you want to haggle to duel him?" Regan whispered. She could feel their body guards looking about trying to see anything that might jump out at them.
"Yes," Yugi answered also in a whisper. "Jason has some use of shadow magic and you don't have your ability to protect you from real attacks. If I duel him, then whatever plans that he might have to steal more of your aura will be washed down the drain."
"If it works, I thank you, but please don't get hurt."
"When does that happen?" Regan gave him a side glare and he smiled. "Of course I will be careful."
Regan sighed. She hated the idea of someone else fighting for her, but Yugi had a point, she couldn't defend herself against real attacks if her aura decided to quit all together working. And then there was what Melissa said, any weakness of hers could throw the entire duel off for her. After walking for what seemed like forever to her, they finally reached the mountain base. She shivered as the temperature seemed to drop dramatically. She looked at the other students and up at Yugi, but no one else seemed to notice. She felt sick.
"Hey, you ok Regan?" Tristan asked as he turned around to her holding a flashlight just out of her face.
"No, I feel sick." Regan answered truthfully, she doubted she could even attempt to lie as she walked. Her world got dizzy for a moment and she lost her footing. Yugi caught her before she kissed the dirt and placed her back on her feet. The world steadied. "Thank you, Yugi."
"I don't think you should continue." Melissa said before Yugi could say anything as they continued walking up the volcano.
"I'm fine now," Regan told her as the sick feeling faded slightly. Nile appeared in front of her looking concerned. "And there is no way I'm turning back, even if I had to crawl, Jason wants me up there and he won't release the chancellor without me there."
"Fuck you're stubborn." The woman mumbled as her pace slowed away from Regan and Yugi. "Whatever; do what you want."
Regan rolled her eyes as she turned her attention to Nile. 'What the hell was that?'
"I don't know; the aura in the atmosphere changed dramatically. I guess our aura was working for that change and then decided to ditch us again. Whatever is ahead doesn't seem pretty if the aura was like that."
'Do you have any experience like that?' Yugi asked her joining the mental conversation.
"Just once, and that was right before Dark Matter attacked our kingdom." Nile said as she glanced back at Atem who turned slightly in her direction. "I actually threw up because of the dramatic change in presence, magic, and evilness in the air."
'Fucking perfect.' Regan sighed inwardly and looked at Yugi. 'Please for the love of any god above; be careful if you do duel.'
'And you ten times more if this plan doesn't.'
They continued to walk in silence as they reached the top of the volcano; Regan could see the glow of the magma burning below in the crater. In the darkness, a silhouette was standing and Regan immediately knew it was Jason. The head moved around looking at the large group that stood in front of him.
"I didn't realize this was a party invitation I sent out, I only asked for Regan to join me up on this nice volcano." Jason's voice echoed in the air.
"Cut the shit," Yugi growled angrily. "Where is Chancellor Sheppard?"
"The Chancellor?" Jason asked in a mocking tone as he looked around. "I believe I left him over there."
Jason pointed down into the crater and Fonda rushed over to the edge with her escort. Jason didn't say a word as a smile formed on his face with the reflection of the magma.
"What in bloody hell kind of sick game are you playing?" Fonda yelled her question. "Why is he just lying there on that stone?"
"Oh, he's fine, for now." Jason answered.
"Renato, Spyro and you three escorts, help me get him up here!"
The four moved to her order like dogs to meat. They climbed over the side of the volcano and out of sight. Jason continued on grinning which made Regan feel sick to her stomach. There was nothing right about the whole scenario and she guessed that the Chancellor wasn't just down there for the kicks of scaring a couple of third year students. The ground shook suddenly and the screams of her fellow classmates and their escorts were heard. Regan and her friends along with their escorts ran up to the edge of the crater and found the three classmates along with their escorts on the same ledge as the Chancellor. They seemed fine from what Regan could see, but probably little bruised.
"Are you guys ok?" Ryou called down to them.
They seemed like one of them was about to answer after a trade of words, but a loud and low growl came from within the crater of the volcano shaking the ground again. Téa lost her footing just as Atem grabbed her around the waist before she fell into it. They backed away from the edge a bit.
"Thank you, Atem." Téa said as he let her go.
He nodded.
Regan turned to Jason. "What did you set up?"
"Just the Thing in the Crater. Handy little trick being able to summon real monsters, isn't it Regan?" Jason continued to mock as he played with a card in his hand. "But enough about them for right now, they aren't that important."
"Not important?" She hissed glaring. "You just put their lives at stake, and for what?"
"For you to surrender and come with us, and no more blood will be shed between both of our sides."
"Both sides, you guys are the ones that caused her father's death and tore her family apart." Yugi growled lowly beside her.
"Yes, but we weren't the cause for two of our members murders, Brittney and Jade. Am I right?"
Regan couldn't say anything as her voice caught in her throat. It was still a touchy subject when it was brought up from that direction. She almost broke down in front of a reporter who accused her of killing Jade just after Seto called Yugi up to his office the morning of March fourteenth. "I didn't kill them."
"You didn't kill them as much as we didn't plan out your life." Jason stated as he placed the card he was playing with in his pocket. "If you don't, your friends and their little escorts and you chancellor will be dead if you chose to fight me. And I'm telling you this out of mercy, you will lose against me, there is no way you can win with what I have."
"You'll have to go through me first before you can get to her." Yugi retorted stepping in front of her with his duel disk already on. "And I doubt your claim to your deck being as good as you say it is, is true. And even if it is, you need a brain to use it."
"Ah, so there is something wrong with her ability to use her aura. Just like the reports said there was."
"It doesn't matter what says what, if you want to fight my girl, you will fight me first."
"Fine," Jason responded and glanced over at the crater. Suddenly a black shape leaped from the crater. Regan had enough time to shout Yugi's name before the creature knocked him through the air and onto the ground a few meters away. The ground cracked around her feet and the rock gave away separating her with Jason from the rest of her group with a large fissure with the ground landing into the magma and suddenly felt this was like Aladdin two, the Return of Jafar.
She turned away from the ground and took a look over at Yugi. "Yugi, Yugi are you alright?"
He didn't respond right away with his escort Wallace helping him sit-up. "Could be better, sorry that I couldn't duel for you."
"You are worst then the most apologetic Canadian when it comes to things that can't be helped. I hope you know that."
A grin played on his face. He coughed and then looked at his hand in disgust. "Oh that's probably not a good thing."
Her heart pounded in her chest as she turned to Ryou, Téa, Atem, Joey and Tristan. She didn't care about the escorts except as paper weights as they hadn't done a single good thing with their guns, like shoot Jason in the foot or something; that would have been nice. "Go get the doctor up here-"
"Sorry, but nobody's leaving unless you forfeit and just come with me, because this is now a shadow game as you call it."
"Fuck you."
"Or if and I say if with a four percent chance of you beating me."
"I've done things that shouldn't happen a hundred and fifty percent of the time."
"Like what?"
"Well there was that time I knocked over a glass and the water was still in it even though the cup was upside down."
"I would say I'm impressed, but glorious Queen of Games you are wasting precious time for the love of your life, he probably has something punctured. You could just hand yourself over and your friends, Chancellor and your King can go freely, heck I'll even give them a ride with one of the lovely monsters I can summon."
Regan clenched her jaw. There was so much that could go right if she was to go, but if she did, they were all fucked anyway. She turned to Yugi and saw Joey and Tristan making him a little bit more comfy. "I'll try and make this quick," Yugi nodded from his sitting position with the grin still plastered on his face. She turned back to Jason. "And then I can give you a ride with one of my monsters and it would probably be faster than anything he has in that deck."
"You tell dat creep." Joey said in a very thick Brooklyn accent, she could tell Yugi was in worst shape than he let her know from Joey's accent.
"You won't win," Jason stated in a sigh as he pulled out his duel disk from his belt. It was a strange looking thing with a large, slick card holder that was dark blue and dark green. "I already know what happens and you are just going to make things harder for everyone else."
Regan grabbed her deck and placed it into the duel disk. "I don't really give a shit; the future isn't predicted in stone, it's made with every choice, and mine's a draw of a card."
Jason activated his strange looking duel disk with the second part popped out of the bigger part of the disk creating the five monster slots and placed his deck in. "I'll take the first draw then."
"Duel!"
Jason VS Regan Heartin
Turn 1: Jason H: 5 LP: 4000
"I'll set a card and then I'll summon the tuner monster, The Fabled Rubyruda."
The Fabled Rubyruda Beast/Tuner 4 stars Attack: 1100 Defence: 800
A red colored bird like creature appeared on the field with a little red imp like creature riding it.
"Is that supposed to be the Garuda?" Melissa asked from the sidelines. Regan glanced at her for a second. "Like the mythical bird from Hindu or Buddhist mythology."
"Yes," Jason said with a smirked. "Turn end."
Turn 2: Regan H: 5 LP: 4000
Regan drew her card and decided to play it. "I summon Mystic Tomato and he'll attack that monster of yours."
Mystic Tomato Plant/Effect 4 stars Attack: 1400 Defence: 1100
A red tomato appeared with a sinister grin. It charged and Rubyruda was destroyed. Jason slid back a few feet holding his disk to his face. His life points dropped as he walked away from the edge of their little platform.
"I end my turn."
Turn 3: Jason H: 4 LP: 3700
"I place on facedown and end my turn."
Turn 4: Regan H: 5 LP: 4000
"Good, hide like coward you are." She hissed in glee at her opponent's pitiful attempt to protect his life points. "I summon Magician's Valkyria."
A female magician with teal blue and purple outfit appeared on the field with a large wand.
Magician's Valkyria Spellcaster/Effect 4 stars Attack: 1600 Defence: 1800
"Magician's Valkyria attack his face down monster."
The magician twirled her wand and a blast of magic appeared from it, but before the blast hit the card a scarecrow appeared in front of the card.
"Activate my trap card Scrap-Iron Scarecrow, it negates your attack and then gets set again."
"Fine, you only saved yourself from a direct attack, Mystic Tomato attack his face down."
The tomato attacked the face down and was revealed to be a mouse with keys.
"Because you destroyed my Tuner monster Key Mouse, I get to add a level three monster from my deck to my hand. I chose my tuner monster The Fabled Cerburrel."
Key Mouse Beast/Tuner 1 star Attack: 100 Defence: 100
"Again with the tuner monsters" She commented not really caring about what the tuner cards were. "Fine, I set one card and end my turn."
Her set card appeared in behind her monsters.
Turn 5: Jason H: 5 LP: 3700
Jason drew his card and smiled. "I set a face down monster and end my turn."
Yugi coughed again and low mumbles were heard from her friends.
Turn 6: Regan H: 4 LP: 4000
"Quit wasting my time!" Regan shouted as she drew her card. She didn't bother summoning the monster she just drew as she turned to the monster Jason had set down. It had some sort of effect and she didn't need to set it off and cause her to not have any monsters. "Mythic Tomato, attack his face down."
The tomato attacked another face down and black cat with a white tail appeared from underneath.
Dark Cat with White Tail Beast/Effect 2 stars Attack: 800 Defence: 500
"My Dark Cat with White Tail now sends two of your monsters back to your hand." Jason explained as Magician's Valkyria and Mystic Tomato returned to her hand.
"I summon Mystic Tomato again and end my turn."
Turn 7: Jason H: 5 LP: 3700
Jason drew a card. "Well, I have everything I need to win now. I summon another The Fabled Rubyruda and end my turn."
Turn 8: Regan H: 6 LP: 4000
She rolled her eyes as she placed the card she drew last turn. A yellow dragon appeared on the field. "I summon Mirage Dragon. Mystic Tomato shall we get rid another one of those birds. And don't think about activating you trap card because my Mirage Dragon's effect doesn't allow you to activate traps during the battle phase."
Mirage Dragon Dragon/Effect 4 stars Attack: 1600 Defence: 800
"I activate Rubyruda's effect; I discard one Fabled monster from my hand to negate the attack. I discard The Fabled Cerburrel and his effect activates. I special summon him in defense mode."
A red three headed puppy appeared lying down with a black little imp walking it.
The Fabled Cerburrel Beast/Tuner 2 stars Attack: 1000 Defence: 400
"Mirage dragon attack Rubyruda."
"You must be really distracted if you are doing the same thing over again." Jason sighed. "Oh well, I send The Fabled Peggulsus from my hand to the graveyard and her effect activates. When she is discarded to the graveyard she is special summoned face down on my side of the field."
She wanted to hit herself, she just let her opponent gain two monsters and it wasn't even his turn. Now he had monsters to sacrifice for a tribute summon. "Turn end."
Turn 9: Jason H: 3 LP: 3700
"Now you are probably guessing I'm going to tribute summon right, well you're wrong. I summon Uniflora, Mystical Beast of the Forest."
A unicorn covered in vines and moss appeared next to The Fabled Cerburrel.
Uniflora, Mystical Beast of the Forest Beast/effect 1 star Attack: 700 Defence: 500
"I tune Uniflora with The Fabled Rubyruda to Synchro Summon Thunder Unicorn!"
"Synchro summoning!" Atem and Yugi shouted in surprise.
Yugi started up another coughing fit afterwards as four rings came from The Fabled Rubyruda and went around Uniflora.
"From within the storm, give life to the creature of comes after the flash of light!" Jason shouted as the unicorn disappeared and a single star was left as a beam of blue light crashed down from the black sky. The light disappeared as a blue and yellow unicorn came from within it.
Thunder Unicorn Beast/Synchro/Effect 5 stars Attack: 2200 Defence: 1800
"I have no idea what the fuck a Synchro Summon is, but I know it's a special summon and because of that, I special summon my Phantom Dragon in attack mode." Regan stated as her ghost like dragon appeared on the field.
Phantom Dragon Dragon/Effect 8 stars Attack: 2300 Defense: 2200
"Thunder Unicorn attack Mirage Dragon." He ordered.
The unicorn sent lightning from its horn aimed for her dragon as she tried to place up a shield with her aura to brace the attack. The aura shield didn't form and the blast from her monster's destruction sent her flying off her feet screaming. She landed hard on her back cause the air in her lungs to leave. She never had six hundred points of damage hurt so much. A drop of water fell on her face as she debated standing up. More drops fell from the sky as she stood up. Stars danced in her vision like a bad head rush.
"How did that feel?" Jason asked her. "I told you that giving in is the best option. You aren't going to win; my deck is not from this timeline. You will lose."
"Are you saying you are from the future?" She asked him holding her drawing arm. She felt liquid flowing from underneath her hand.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. You don't win where I'm from."
"So why are you here if you are from the future? Usually when someone comes from the future they are in the past to change what happens." Yugi asked.
"Well, I happened to be the one who defeats you right here and right now according to the records of our organization."
Regan took a step back. That wasn't the future that Dark Matter had shown her, had it changed? It wasn't a bad thing that zombies weren't running around in the future, but what happened to the two kids she met and found out they were hers?
"If it is what it is now then I can tell you the future can change." Yugi stated. "I've met people from the future and I can personally say the future can change."
"Yugi," Regan whispered in awe as she turned to him.
"Beat him. Like you said, the future isn't definite and because of that, you have to believe in the future you want." He started coughing again.
"I set one card and end my turn." Jason said as a card appeared next to his facedown Scrap-Iron Scarecrow.
Turn 10: Regan H: 5 LP: 3400
The rain was coming down in sheets and she was glad that her cards were waterproofed by her brother. Her hair stuck to her face and her boots were digging into the mud. Never had she thought she would duel in the rain. "I tribute Mystic Tomato to normal summon Darkflare Dragon."
Her large black and red dragon appeared sending a wave of flames across the field. The ground and her clothes were dry for approximately two seconds before the rain soaked it again.
Darkflare Dragon Dragon/Effect 5 stars Attack: 2400 Defence: 1200
"Darkflare Dragon, attack Thunder Unicorn!"
Her dragon sent a blast of flames towards the unicorn just as Jason grinned. "I activate my trap card; Horn of the Phantom Beast, my unicorn's attack is raised by eight hundred points bringing it up to 3000."
"What?!"
Thunder Unicorn blasted her dragon's attack out of the way and charged at Darkflare Dragon. She couldn't move out of her dragon's path as his tail caught her sending crashing down onto the ground. Her cards fell out of her hand leaving them on the ground as she continued to tumble over the edge. Her left hand grabbed the edge just before she fell into the magma below. She was breathing heavily and felt her whole body shaking in fear at her almost sudden death. She heard Fonda, Spyro and Renado shouting below her. She turned to them and saw them standing on their ledge with Chancellor Sheppard and the three escorts.
"Look out!" The chancellor shouted and pointed towards a wall.
She turned her head towards what he was pointing at and saw the creature from the card The Thing in the Crater coming towards her. "I hate my life sometimes." She hissed to herself as her fingers started to slip in the mud. She grabbed the ledge with her other hand licking her bleeding lip that she bit when she hit the ground a second time. Her head was spinning as she started to pull herself up and guess she had a minor concussion. When she finally got her torso above the edge, she saw Yugi at the edge of the rest of the volcano with a look of relief on his face. Phantom Dragon looked backed at her expectantly. She was about to pull herself when a sharp pain ran through her leg. She screamed as she lost her grip and was back to her arms fully extended and slipping on the mud.
'Nile a little bit of help would be nice!' Regan shouted in her mind link as she became even more frustrated and freaked out, more frustrated at the spirit's silence than at her aura not working at all.
"I would, but I haven't been able to summon any protection for you since the beginning of duel, I've been trying to talk to you, but I guess I was blocked as well." Nile responded in almost a fading whisper. "It must have to do with the Shadow Game."
"Hang on Regan-" Yugi started but Jason cut in.
"Don't even think about summoning a monster to help her. If you do, the game is mine. Oh and Regan, you have twenty seconds to make a move before you forfeit the match."
"You sick son of a bitch!" Regan shouted up as she angrily pulled herself over the edge feeling her cuts and bruises protest. She wiped her hands on her coat as she walked over to her cards on the ground and picked them up, wiping them on her coat as well on she placed them in front of her. "I activate Swords of Revealing fucking Light and end my god damn turn. Go before I decided to do something just as cheap as that you litter box of cat shit!"
Swords of light fell from the sky and all over Jason's side of the field.
"Why didn't you attack me?"
"Because you have your scarecrow there, I'm not fucking around anymore!" Regan hissed in rage.
Turn 11: Jason H: 2 LP: 3700
"You forgot to place your monster in defence position." Jason muttered as he drew a card. "I activate Closed Forest."
The field of plain rock and mud changed to that of the forest like the one at the base of the volcano. The attack points of his monsters rose by five hundred. Thunder Unicorn went up to 3500 and Regan was glad she activated Swords of Revealing Light.
"And I end my turn."
Turn 12: Regan H: 4 LP: 2800
Regan tried to draw a card, but her hand was shaking and wasn't going where she was telling it to go. She tried to place any other emotion forward, but the fear of someone from the future knowing things and could be right was the top thing on her mind. Perhaps that was the future ahead no matter what she drew.
'Believe in the future you want.' Yugi repeated in the mind link.
She took a glace over at him and nodded. She finally got her hand to stabilize enough to draw her next card. She looked at it and set the card. "I set a card and place a facedown monster." The cards appeared on the field. "Next, I'll have Phantom Dragon to attack The Fabled Cerburrel."
Her dragon attacked the cute little monster and roared in satisfaction.
"Feeling accomplished?" Jason taunted her.
"It's a start, I end my turn."
Turn 13: Jason H: 2 LP: 3700
Jason drew a card and shrugged. "I'm not doing anything this turn."
Turn 14: Regan H: 3 LP: 2800
"Fine, waste your turns." Regan hissed knowing that he was just waiting out her swords. She drew and smirked. "I place a facedown monster and flip summon my Magician's Valkyria."
Her magician appeared from her card and into attack position.
"Why?" He asked her in slight confusion.
"Because, I'll have her attack your face down Peggulsus."
The Valkyria went forward and the card flipped up to show a cute white-blue Pegasus with blue imp riding her. She attacked the defending monster, but nothing happened.
The Fabled Peggulsus Beast/Tuner 1 Star Attack: 100 Defence: 1600
"Phantom Dragon, attack that horse." She ordered her dragon which took off at that moment.
"I activate my Scrap-Iron Scarecrow." Jason replied as the card flipped up. "What, did you think I forgot about it?"
"I was hoping since you didn't use it last turn… I end my turn."
Turn 15: Jason H: 3 LP: 3700
"Well you aren't a very honorable one as an honorable duelist would say something about my face down trap card that I can activate once every time it's your battle phase." He stated as he drew a card.
"Heh," Regan scoffed feeling more confident again. "I would if you were honorable and weren't threatening everyone's life right now."
"I place a facedown monster and end my turn. And now your swords are gone."
Turn 16: Regan H: 3 LP: 2800
"Oh that's what you think." She grinned as she drew her card. Before Jason had a time to speak she flipped her facedown monster card. A purple haired and purple robed girl with a moon and circle wand appeared from where the card sat. "When my Magician of Faith is flipped, I can add a spell card from my graveyard back to my hand; guess which card is coming back? If you guessed my Swords of Revealing Light, then you are right!"
Magician of Faith Spellcaster/effect 1 star Attack: 300 Defence: 400
Regan added Swords of Revealing Light back to her hand and placed it back in her duel disk. "And now I activate it."
"Of course you would, are you done stalling your defeat. Yugi is just getting worse you know."
"I'm better than what you'll be shortly." Yugi grunted on the sidelines. "Kick his ass Regan."
"Will do," She told him and grabbed another card from her hand. "I set one card and have my Magician's Valkyria attack your facedown monster." Her Valkyria attack the card as it flipped up and a Key Mouse was underneath it, "Another Key Mouse?"
"Yes, they are quite useful; I activate its effect to add Dark Cat with White Tail to my hand." Jason said as he placed the card in his hand.
"Congrats, Phantom Dragon, attack his blue winged horse."
"Once again my trap card, I swear Regan you are doing this on purpose?"
"Obviously I'm seeing when you will actually activate that card. Go,"
Turn 17: Jason H: 4 LP: 3700
"I'm just going to pass on this one."
Turn 18: Regan H: 3 LP: 2800
"Of course you are, because there isn't anything you can do." She sneered as she drew.
"Watch it." Jason growled back.
"Oh did I offend you; I don't seem to have any fucks to give out tonight that are labelled in your name. I set a card down, place my Magician's Valkyria and Magician of Faith in defence mode, then, I activate my set card Metalmorph and equipped it to Phantom Dragon." Regan looked at his set trap in annoyance. "And end my turn."
Turn 19: Jason H: 5 LP: 3700
Jason drew a card and looked over his hand and what she had on the field. "I place a face down and end my turn."
Turn 20: Regan H: 3 LP: 2800
Regan drew her card and a grin appeared on her face. "I sacrifice my Magician's Valkyria and my Magician of Faith and summon my Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to the field."
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Dragon/Effect 10 stars Attack: 2800 Defense: 2400
Her red eyed black dragon appeared on the field sending a shock wave across the field sending Jason off his feet and skidding across the muddy ground. Thunder Unicorn backed up slightly at his presence. Her dragon snorted.
"Next, I activate his effect to special summon my Darkflare Dragon from the graveyard." Her fiery dragon appeared next Red-Eyes and the flames set the bushes a blaze of the field spell card drying the earth once more before it was soaked again in a matter of seconds. She hit a button on her duel disk. "Next, I activate my set card, Call of the Haunted to special summon my Mirage Dragon." Her yellow Asian dragon appeared next to her Phantom Dragon. He howled into the air. "And he says fuck your Scrap-Iron Scarecrow because it's not activating this battle phase."
Jason stood up covered in mud. "And I say all of your dragons can go take a hike to the graveyard."
"Do you have any way of putting them there?" she asked him cockily tilting her head to the side, though she felt her concussion while doing it. "Of course not, Phantom Dragon attack Thunder Unicorn. And since he has Metalmorph, he gains half of the attack of your monster along with his original boost of three hundred bringing him up to a lovely total of 4450."
Jason didn't get to say anything as her dragon crashed into his unicorn and destroyed it. The impact of the attack sent him flying, shouting and over the edge. She thought that he might have fallen into the lava pool as he stopped shouting, but he appeared perfectly fine being carried by the Thing in the Crater. He landed on the tiny island rock.
She rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Red-Eyes attack The Fabled Peggulsus!"
The Pegasus tried to run, but her dragon blasted her like it was target practice. Jason just glared as the flames of the dragon's fireball scorched the ground giving a new light into the darkness of the night.
"Darkflare attack his face down monster, his last defence."
Her dragon shot a wave of fire when the card flipped over to show a cat.
"Dark Cat with White Tail's effect goes off; I send your Darkflare and Mirage dragons to your hand."
Regan glared back as her cards flew back into her hand. That was one think about a Shadow Game that she enjoyed, the cards just did what they were supposed to do and she didn't have to move a muscle. "You save yourself for now, I end my turn."
Turn 21: Jason H: 5 LP: 2950
Jason drew a card and looked at it with a smile of destruction. "I discard The Fabled Cerburrel to special summon The Fabled Chawa. And since I discarded The Fabled Cerburrel, he is special summoned."
The Fabled Chawa Beast/Tuner 1 star Attack: 200 Defence: 100
A Chihuahua like creature with a yellow imp materialized onto the field along with the three headed dog next to it.
"Next I activate monster reincarnation and discard Chain Dog to add Uniflora, the Mystical Beast of the Forest to my hand. And since I have two beast type monsters on my field, I can special summon the Chain Dog that I just placed in my graveyard with his effect."
Chain Dog Beast/Effect 4 stars Attack: 1600 Defence: 1100
A white dog with blue spots appeared on the opposite side of The Fabled Chawa.
"And now he has enough monsters to Synchro Summon again." Téa commented with a hint of fear.
Regan just narrowed her eyes in wait of what other Synchro monsters he had. As angry, sore, and scared as she was; the new type of monster and summoning technics made her think out the possibilities that could be made within a duel. A bit of excitement made her way into her emotions.
"I use The Fabled Chawa to tune Chain Dog to Synchro Summon Fabled Ragin!"
Fabled Ragin Fiend/Synchro/Effect 5 stars Attack: 2300 Defence: 1800
A Demon creature with Black wings covered in gold, blue, black and red armor appeared with a blue imp and a black imp flying around it.
"Did you just say Regan's name?" Joey asked in confusion.
"No, R-A-G-I-N, Regin, dumbass." Jason growled in annoyance.
"I activate my trap card, Black Horn of Heaven to negate your summon." Regan said as her card flipped up. "And only Joey's friends can insult him and you aren't on the list."
"Yeah," Joey nodded and then a light bulb came on. "Hey!"
A horn came from her card and loud summoning sound came from it like someone was blowing it. The Four Horses of the Apocalypse appeared over the burning forest, swopped in and dragged the Fabled Ragin into the sky.
"I figured you would do that," Jason grinned sinisterly. "I activate Heavy Storm!"
"Dammit." She muttered in annoyance as her back field was destroyed and the forest and fire disappeared leaving the black sky again with the hue of the magma. Phantom Dragon's attack dropped 300 attack points.
"Next, I activate Monster Reborn to summon my Fabled Ragin back to the field."
"But I just got rid of that thing not to mention, it's not strong enough to take out my Red-Eyes." Regan complained as her two dragons growled at the newly summoned monster.
"You're right, hence why I planned out my move according to what you would do. I normal summon Uniflora in attack mode."
The unicorn appeared back onto the field. Regan wiped the rain from her face with her hand only to have it be reapplied just as fast. "I use The Fabled Cerburrel to tune my Fabled Ragin and Uniflora-"
"You can Synchro Summon with Synchro monsters?!" Regan exclaimed as a light appeared carrying the rings of the two stared tuner.
"From the depths of fables and legends gave birth to the original fable; I Synchro summon Fabled Leviathan, the god of all Monsters, my ultimate monster and your defeat."
Fabled Leviathan Fiend/Synchro/Effect 10 stars Attack: 3000 Defence: 2000
A stone throne with skulls on the ends of the arm rests and at the top of the throne came from under the earth causing their little island to shake like a giant earthquake. She tried to keep her balance, but her foot shifted in the mud and she fell. The sound of someone humming filled the air which sent chills up her spine as she stood back up and looked around for the source. Three imps: purple, green and yellow were flying around the throne. The hum that filled the air centralized behind her.
"Regan behind you." Yugi and Atem shouted, more Atem than Yugi, as he started coughing hard and knelt down on a knee.
"Yugi hang on." Regan called and started to head over to the edge to get closer to him when a strong hand gripped onto her shoulder and their nails dug into her skin. She screamed in pain and turned around to try and get away. Large red wings were the only things she saw before she was thrown back to her starting position and into the mud. She wiped blood and dirt from her mouth when she stood back up to see a tall, purple skinned demon with long, red hair with red, gold and blue armor with red genie like shoes and a blue skirt in the back. A silver mask was on his face and red eyes were staring down at her.
"How dare you not bow before a god?" The creature hissed like he was insulted as he walked towards her.
"I don't really bow down to anything let alone a flamboyant jester." She mocked.
"Fabled Leviathan is a ten star Synchro monster, the same amount of stars as the Egyptian gods." Jason explained.
"That's the same as my Red-Eyes." Regan said in surprise as she looked back towards the Fabled Leviathan, but he was gone.
"Fabled Leviathan, attack Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!"
The Leviathan appeared in front of Red-Eyes and grabbed her dragon's throat. He quickly pulled back and a ripping sound was heard as her dragon fell and Leviathan was holding something unrecognizable. It dropped to the floor and her dragon shattered. She glared as Fabled Leviathan disappeared only to reappear in front of her. She backed up in surprise and went for her swords to try and create a shield, but he slashed her across the chest first taking two hundred of her life points in difference between him and her dragon's attack. She gasped in pain as he disappeared and wandered out from behind his throne and sat on it.
"Turn end."
Turn 22: Regan H: 3 LP: 2600
Regan drew her card and looked at it for a few seconds before setting it. "I set one card and switch my Phantom Dragon into defense mode. Next, place a face down monster. Then, I remove my Mystic Tomato and my Magician of Faith from play and special summon my Darkflare Dragon in defense mode and end my turn."
Her two set cards appeared on the field and then her Darkflare dragon appeared next to Phantom Dragon.
Turn 23: Jason H: 0 LP: 2950
Jason drew a card and placed it down. "I set a card and have Fabled Leviathan attack Phantom Dragon."
Fabled Leviathan placed on a sinister grin and just looked at her dragon as it shattered into pieces. A wave of fear fell over Regan as she took a step back again. Her aura sensing came back to her and the air around the field made the hair stand up on the back of her neck.
"I end my turn."
Turn 24: Regan H: 2 LP: 2600
She drew a card and hoped for something to her advantage, but it was polymerization and nothing that could help her. She added it to her hand and flipped her hand to signal that she ended her turn in disgust.
Turn 25: Jason H: 0 LP: 2950
He drew and a smile played on his face. "I activate Horn of the Unicorn. All of these old cards have helped my deck so much, thank you so much for the card shop."
Regan watched in horror as a demon horn popped out of Leviathan's head causing black blood to fall from its spot and the attack points went from 3000 to 3700.
"Fabled Leviathan will now attack your Darkflare Dragon."
Her dragon shot a fire ball at the leviathan, who, placed up a hand and returned the attack at the dragon causing him to cry out in pain as he burned. Regan looked away and almost wanted to cover her ears at the sounds of agony that she caused her dragon. When it stopped, she turned back and all that was left was ashes in a pile.
Turn 26: Regan H: 3 LP: 2600
She breathing was heavy as she shakily drew a card and looked at it in panic. She couldn't do anything with Sage's Stone either. One by one her dragons were dying and there wasn't anything she could do about it. She looked to her hand at another dragon monster and looked back to her field with her one monster in facedown position protecting her life points. "I activate Star Blast and get rid of 2000 life points and place down a face down. I- I end."
"Hang in there Regan." Tristan called from the sidelines. "That leviathan looks a lot like Pegasus and he has a serious weakness besides his flamboyancy, you can take him down!"
"Easier said than done." Regan replied and turned to her deck. 'Especially with the cards I have been drawing, not a special draw since Fabled Leviathan came to the field.'
"I almost feel bad for defeating you like this, you look like a kitten which was thrown in a box and ditched on the side of the highway." Jason laughed.
"Go," Regan hissed.
Turn 27: Jason H: 2950
Regan's vision blurred as she grabbed her chest. She looked at it and found blood on her clothing. When she looked up Fabled Leviathan was right in front of her leaning over her. He pointed at her face down monster and the three imps attack it causing it to flip up and her mirage dragon being destroyed. She took a step back and half her foot was hanging over the edge as it crumbled under her foot. She looked back and noticed the Thing in the Cave was waiting under her. It licked its lips hungrily. Her skin crawled as she felt a nail of Fabled Leviathan touch her. She grabbed her sword and lashed out at him, but he moved before she hit him with her blade. She was starting to feel claustrophobic with the little room she had.
"You will pay for that." He growled as he wiped something of his face and she noticed that she had cut him with her aura around her blade. She didn't find it very settling to know that she had meaning he was real, real and not like the psychic duelists that Seto had explained to her.
"I end my turn," Jason said with a smug look.
Turn 28: Regan H: 2 LP: 600
She swallowed as she drew and just about lost it when she saw Horus the Black Flame LV 8. "God dammit!"
"Sorry, your god doesn't exist; I ate him." Fabled Leviathan laughed.
She wasn't one to believe in religious rituals, but it struck her hard that she couldn't move to pass her turn. But Jason got the hint after she didn't make a single move and drew a card.
Turn 29: Jason H: 1 LP: 2950
"I summon Unifrog in attack mode." Jason said as he placed the card he drew onto his board.
Unifrog Aqua/Effect 2 stars Attack: 400 Defence: 400
A purple frog with grey eyes and a blue horn appeared on the field and hoped onto the armrest of Fabled Leviathan's chair.
"Fabled Leviathan, attack her face down monster." Jason ordered and his monster complied as he stood up from his seat and her card flipped up with Van'Dalgyon in a defensive position.
Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord Dragon/Effect 8 stars Attack: 2800 Defense: 2500
Her dragon tried to defend, but he was quickly over taken by Jason's monster. Fabled Leviathan's nails grew to long daggers and sliced clean through Van'Dalgyon's neck and his head fell off. The rest of her dragon shattered. She didn't even have time to apologize to her dragon when Jason ordered his frog to attack her directly. The frog charged at her at speeds she didn't think was possible for a frog its size and smashed her to the edge of the ledge and she slipped off the edge. Her hand grabbed the ledge again saving her from the monster below her. The rain was washing her hair and blood into her left eye from her new meeting with the ground. She felt a pulse of fear come from behind her and she looked to see the people she was supposed to be saving looking up at her. She could only image how battered and broken she was.
Then, she returned to the memory of her favorite dragon getting his head chopped off. Anger and determination to win returned to her taking out the fear all together as her nails dug into the earth to stop her from slipping. She placed her cards in her pocket that she happened to keep in her hand that time around and grabbed the ledge with her other hand. She pulled herself up with great difficulty as her muscles just weren't up to it anymore. When she finally got over side her hands and toes were dug into the mud like she was a cat ready to spring. She stood from her crouch and the rain washed the mud off her hands in seconds.
"Hmm, to be still standing, I'm almost impressed." Jason mocked. "Turn end."
Turn 30: Regan H: 3 LP: 200
"And it is the last!" She shouted in rage tapping into her aura to draw her card without hesitation. "I draw!"
"That's a bold accusation with nothing in your hand that you can use."
She took a look at her card and activated it. "I activate Pot of Greed; this allows me to draw two more cards." She drew her two cards and a grin of satisfaction played on her lips. "I activate my trap card, Dust tornado to get rid of your only back field card."
Her trap rose from is set position and a tornado ripped across the field violently and flipped up Draining Shield before destroying it.
"That's all."
"You wish, next I activate one of the cards I drew, Dark Hole." Regan hissed as a black hole appeared in the center of the field and sucked in Jason's two monsters.
"Since Fabled Leviathan was destroyed, I get to add three Fabled Monsters to my hand from the graveyard." Jason said as three cards were emptied from his graveyard. "One of them being the Fabled Leviathan."
"It doesn't matter," She retorted. "I activate the second card I got from that draw, Dragon's Mirror. I remove from play my Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Darkflare Dragon, Mirage Dragon, Phantom Dragon and Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord to Fusion Summon Five-Headed Dragon!"
Five-Headed Dragon Dragon/Fusion/Effect 12 stars Attack: 5000 Defence: 5000
"What! This isn't what happened!" Jason yelled in shock as her yellow dragon with five element heads appeared on the field taking up most of the tiny island. It roared loudly in his face.
"I strive for the future I want, so fuck your measly ten starred Fabled Leviathan; my dragon has twelve fucking stars that a Dragon God should have." Regan called angrily. "Tell your pals where ever you go that I'm not interested of being part of their game. Five-Headed Dragon, attack him directly Elemental Wrath of Five God Dragon!"
Her dragon's heads lifted into the air and beamed down five attacks of the five elements they possessed onto Jason. When her dragon's attacks disappeared Jason was nowhere to be seen and the feeling of the Shadow Realm disappeared.
Jason – 0 VS Regan – 200
Winner: Regan Heartin
Regan looked up to her dragon and petted his tail as it lied next to her. He snorted and lowered himself to the ground. She climbed up and summoned the monster she drew before. A large bronze dragon appeared beside her with a blue jewel on his head. "Horus, please help out my classmates, their escorts and Chancellor Sheppard from their ledge below."
Her dragon roared and soared down into the volcano. She heard him shriek and the sound of something else being destroyed as Five-Headed Dragon flew her across the gorge. She met the others on the other side and dropped down from her dragon and ran over to Yugi who was throwing up a bit.
"Joey, help me get him on Five-Headed Dragon." Atem ordered from beside her as she got out of their way. "Regan get back on your dragon too, you need medical attention as well."
"We're just gonna let her fly Five-Headed Dragon across the island to the medical center with all those people watching?" Tristan asked as Regan stumbled on her own two feet. He caught her and helped her to the large dragon.
"Yes, they will find out eventually." Téa replied.
When they finally got Yugi, who stopped vomiting, and herself up onto her dragon, Horus appeared from the crater of the volcano and landed on the ground with the seven people on his back. Regan looked over to the rest of the group and drew the next card that was on top. She looked at it and summoned it. A large gold and black dragon appeared. "Felgrand, please take the rest of them back to the dorms and Horus please take everyone back to the dorms and take the chancellor where ever he wishes to go… just… don't make it a world trip."
"Ms. Kaiba this isn't the time to be making jokes!" Chancellor Sheppard said flustered in embarrassment and shock. "And how did you summon these dragons."
"Just something I was born with." She answered and turned to Five-Headed Dragon before she had to answer more questions. "Let's go."
"Wait," Atem called up. She didn't get to respond as he jumped up to where Yugi and she were sitting. "I'm making sure you make it to the medical center."
She smiled faintly as her dragon took off. She heard her other two dragons flying behind her as they flew over the forest away from the volcano. The height was perfect for view across the island. When they reached the residence area, she saw students coming out of their dorms as two of her dragons dropped down to the Original Blue Dorm while Five-Headed Dragon continued towards the school building. Her dragon came in for a landing along with Horus flying next to her with Chancellor Sheppard on his back. The campus security members that stood there looked up in shock and then ran inside in fear as the two dragons landed. A swarm of students came from the surrounding areas as Regan lost her balance and strength to stay awake as she slipped to the side and saw and felt the large hand of Horus catch her before she slipped into darkness.
