Facing friends:
Deep in the Abandoned Dorm, in the area where Jaden and Alexis duelled Titan, Livius stood at the altar with Servis next to him and Solona in the cage. But instead of speaking to the Elder One, they used the altar to see what was going on with Missy's duel. They watched as Dorian defeated Missy and then the rest began to walk in.
"So Missy has been defeated" Livius stated "We knew that they could not hold them off forever but I am surprised that she was defeated in one duel."
"Well the next one won't be as easy" Servis stated "I wonder how they will do when they go against one of their own friends. They all hated Missy because of how much of a bully she was. But they may be reluctant to hurt their friends."
"You mean Jasmine and Mindy" Livius stated "They're a waste of duellists if you ask me"
"Which is why I upgraded their decks" Servis smirked "I also made sure they were under our control so they will duel like we duel and not like a couple of fools"
Livius smiled and then looked at the portal which he was trying to open "We still need more power" he stated "This portal won't bring us through yet. We just need to hold them off until the portal is charged" he then laughed "I wish I could see their faces when they arrive here and find out that we've already gone" Livius' laughter was heard all throughout the room and Servis joined in.
...
In another part of the Abandoned Dorm, Aristide lead the group through the Abandoned Dorm since he was the oldest "Now we must stick together" he stated "I don't want anyone to get lost here"
Kallian stared at the images that had been carved into the walls which spoke about the Seven Millennium items "These carvings creep me out" she shuddered "I don't get them at all and they seem to be filled with some sort of dark power"
"They show the Seven Millennium items" Alexis stated "Dorian used to teach about them in class and how important they were to Yugi Moto who once held the puzzle."
"And Dorian also talked about the Millennium Ring which was held by Yugi's friend Bakura" Sereda added "The stories said that the Ring held an evil spirit which possessed Bakura and made him fight his friends."
"These lessons were the only ones where I paid attention" Jaden added cheerfully "It taught us about Yugi's adventures particularly his battle with Marik"
"And he held the Millennium Rod" Neria replied "And Pegasus once held the Millennium Eye"
"It's a shame that not much is known about the key and scales" Aedan sighed "Though Marik's sister once held the necklace."
They were all interrupted by a cough and they looked to see Daylen "This is all interesting but we don't have time for these stories." He stated "My sister is being held prisoner and even minute we waste here means that she is in even more danger. We can talk about this later"
Alexis sighed "He's right" she claimed "The Venatori may have the other people they took to hold us up and we need to defeat them as quickly as we can"
"I just hope we're not too late to save my daughter" Aristide sighed "I still remember what it was like for me to be captured, I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her"
"Well we won't find her standing here." Chazz stated "let's go and find her" the others agreed and they all went down the tunnel.
...
Soon they made it to a large room with a small staircase and the old furniture had been covered up with sheets but they would most likely collapse due to the age and not being kept in good condition. But as they made it down the stairs, Aedan noticed two shadows hiding in a different part of the room.
"Who's there?" he demanded "Show yourself"
"As you wish" a voice called and Alexis felt her heart jump as she recognised the voice. She widened her eyes as she watched as her two friends Jasmine and Mindy walked out from their hiding place and blocked the entrance to the next tunnel
"Jazz, Mindy!" Sereda gasped
Jaden narrowed his eyes "So now Livius plans to use our friends against us"
Jasmine and Mindy's eyes looked blank like there was no life in them. They also moved like robots obeying commands "Master Livius gave us a mission" Jasmine stated in a toneless voice
"We will not let you past" Mindy added
Alexis stepped forward "Jazz, Mindy, you have to wake us, that man has taken control of you" but the two girls stayed silent
"It won't work Alexis" Aristide stated "Livius has them under his control. I don't think that these two are even controlling themselves. With Missy they just brainwashed her but these two look like they are being controlled."
"Then how do we get them back?" Neria asked
Aristide sighed "It seems that we will have to duel them in order to free them. We'll have to duel them anyway since we need to get past them in order to find Solona."
Alexis sighed and stepped forward "Alright, if anyone is going to duel them then it's going to be me" she stated
"Fine by me" Jasmine stated as she stepped forward "I'll duel you but don't even think of bringing someone else in, this is not a tag duel"
Aedan shook his head "Looks like they're trying to stall us" he claimed "Holding us off as long as they can"
Kallian looked at Alexis "Alexis will be okay right?" she questioned "I don't want to sound mean but I'll always heard that Jasmine's not a great duellist"
"That's true" Sereda sighed "But it's not Jasmine duelling"
Everyone looked confused and Aristide continued "What Sereda means is that while Alexis will be duelling Jasmine, it's Livius who's controlling her using Jasmine's deck"
"And it's likely that there may be new cards in her deck" Chazz added
Jasmine and Alexis stepped forward and activated their duel disks and drew their opening hand
"DUEL!"
Alexis: 8000
Jasmine: 8000
Alexis looked at her hand "I'll get you back Jasmine, I promise" he said to herself
"I'll take the first move" Jasmine sneered "And I summon Marauding Captain in attack mode" a blond haired warrior wielding two swords appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1200 Defence 400) "And when he is normal summoned, I can summon one level 4 or lower Warrior type monster from my hand, and I choose my Obnoxious Celtic Guardian" a tall green armoured warrior with pointy ears appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1400 Defence 1200) "And he can't be destroyed by monsters with 1900 attack points or more, but that doesn't matter since you can only attack my Marauding captain. Now I will end my turn"
"My move" Alexis stated as she drew her next card "And I summon Cyber Tutu in attack mode" a small pink haired girl wearing a ballerina tutu appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1000 Defence 800) "And now I equip her with Angel Wing" a pair of wings appeared on Cyber Tutu's back "Now attack, and since your monsters attack points are higher, then my Tutu can attack you directly, and since she's equipped with Angel Wing, she deals an extra 300 damage" Cyber Tutu jumped through the air and kicked Jasmine back a few feet.
Alexis: 8000
Jasmine: 6700
"And now I will throw one card facedown and end my turn" Alexis finished
"My move" Jasmine stated as she drew her next card "And first of all, I equip my Guardian with Lightning Blade which gives him an extra 800 attack points" the Guardian's sword changed into a large blade with lightning running along the blade (OCG Attack 1400-2200) "And now my Marauding Captain will attack that dancer" Marauding captain charged forward and got ready to swing his sword.
"I play my facedown card" Alexis countered "Double Passé, now I take the damage instead but Cyber Tutu can attack you directly" Alexis felt the sword slash through her which made her groan in pain since this was a Shadow Game but then Cyber Tutu kicked Jasmine again
Alexis: 6800
Jasmine: 5400
"Alexis did a good move there" Zane claimed "If she has lost Tutu then that Guardian could have attacked her directly"
"But now it will have to attack that Cyber Tutu instead" Jaden finished
"And that's what I'm going to do" Jasmine added "Attack that Tutu" Guardian slashed his sword and slashed through Tutu causing the girl to scream and then shatter
Alexis: 5600
Jasmine: 5400
"Since my Cyber Blader was equipped with Angel Wing, I get to draw one card" Alexis stated
"Well you're going to need it" Jasmine sneered "I place one card facedown and end my turn"
Alexis drew her next card "My draw" then she looked at her hand "Perfect" she said to herself "I play Polymerization which allows me to fuse Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater in my hand together in order to summon Cyber Blader" the two monsters were sucked into a portal and became a red and purple warrior with long blue hair and wearing ice skates (Level 7 Attack 2100 Defence 800) "And since you have two monsters on your field, her second ability activates which doubles her attack points" Cyber Blader glowed as she powered up (CB Attack 2100-4200) "And now she will attack that Marauding Captain" Cyber Blades staked along the ground and was ready to swing her legs at the captain
"I activate my facedown card" Jasmine countered "Negate Attack, this negates your attack and ends your battle phase" Cyber Blader's attack was blocked by a barrier and then was sent back to Alexis' field
"Well, I summon Cyber Gymnast in defence mode" a muscular woman with tanned skin and long blond hair and wearing a purple gym clothes appeared on the field kneeling down (Level 4 Attack 800 Defence 1800) "Then I will place one card facedown and end my turn"
"My move" Jasmine stated as she drew her next card and smirked "My deck has been upgraded and now it's time to show you what new things I can do. I play the spell card Double Summon which allows me to summon twice this turn. So now I will summon Warrior lady of the Wasteland in attack mode" a woman wearing blue clothing, a torn brown cloak and a hat appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1100 Defence 1200)
Alexis thought 'She must be using Double Summon to summon a fourth monster as she knows that with three monsters on her field, Cyber Blader's third ability will activate'
"And if you think I'm summoning a fourth monster then forget it" Jasmine smirked "I now sacrifice my three monsters in order to summon Gilford the Lightning in attack mode"
"Gilford the Lightning!" Kallian gasped "That's not good" she knew about Gilford's ability
A tall warrior with armour, a red cape and a large sword covered in lightning appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 2600 Defence 1400) "And since I used three sacrifices to summon him, all monsters on your field are destroyed" Alexis gasped as Gilford sent out a powerful lightning storm which blasted Cyber Blader and Cyber Gymnast and destroyed them "And now that your field is empty, I can attack you directly, so go attack her" Gilford charged up his sword and then swung it
"Alexis!" Jaden yelled out but Alexis revealed her trap
"I play Call of the Haunted which allows me to one monster from my graveyard in attack mode" Alexis countered "So I summon back my Cyber Blader, and since you only have one monster, she can't be destroyed in battle" Alexis' Cyber Blader returned to the field
"Well you still take damage" Jasmine stated as the blade struck Cyber Blader and Alexis felt a bit of a shock from the lightning
Alexis: 4900
Jasmine: 5400
"And now I will end my turn" Jasmine finished
"My move" Alexis stated as she drew her card "And I play Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two more cards" Alexis drew them and looked at them 'There's nothing that can help me at the minute, but I can prepare for my next turn "Now I play the Field Spell Ritual Sanctuary" the field changed into the insides of a church where a Wedding would take place "Now by discarding one card, I can add one Light Ritual Monster or a Ritual spell card to my hand, so I discard my Fusion Recovery which allows me to add my Machine Angel Absolute Ritual spell to my hand" Alexis added the card to her hand "Now I place one monster facedown then switch my Cyber Blader to defence mode, now I will end my turn"
"My move" Jasmine smirked as she drew her card "And I summon my Command Knight in attack mode" a red haired female warrior wearing red and brown leathers appeared on the field (Level Attack 1200 Defence 1900) "And when she's on the field, all warriors gain 400 attack points" Jasmine's monsters glowed as they gained power (CK Attack 1200-1600) (GTL Attack 2600-3000) "And while your Cyber Blader's attack points double since I have two monsters, that won't matter since it's in defence mode. But to be on the safe side, I'll have Command Knight take out that facedown monster first" Command Knight slashed her sword and sliced the card in half which then shattered. Jasmine smirked and was about to order her next attack but then a barrier appeared on the field protecting Alexis's monsters "What's going on?"
Alexis smiled "You should have destroyed my Blader first" she stated "The monster I had facedown was Unhappy Maiden, and since she was destroyed, your Battle Phase is over"
Jasmine narrowed her eyes "Fine, I end my turn but don't think that this is over"
Alexis drew her card which made her smirk "It's not over yet but it soon will be" she stated "I summon Cyber Petit Angel in attack mode" a small pink ball with eyes, legs and small fairy wings appeared on the field (Level 2 Attack 300 Defence 200) "And since she was summoned, I can add a Cyber Angel monster to my hand, and I choose my Cyber Angel Natasha" the card was added to her hand "And now I play Machine Angel Absolute Ritual, now I can sacrifice my Petit Angel but it also allows me to shuffle monsters in my graveyard into my deck, but they must equal the level of the Ritual monster, so I return my Tutu to my deck which allows me to Ritual Summon a Level 5 Cyber Angel monster, so now my Natasha appears on the field since she's level 5" a warrior with the lower body of a black horse with a white tail appeared on the field. She also had four arms with a sword in one of them, dressed in armour and wearing a red and black cape (Level 5 Attack 1000 Defence) "And now her ability activates which allows me to gain life points equal to half the attack points of a monster on my field, so with since you have two monsters and your Command Knight, my Blader has 4600 attack points and I gain 2300 life points" Alexis glowed as she gained more life points
Alexis: 7200
Jasmine: 5400
"And finally, I'll equip my Natasha with Ritual weapon which gives her an extra 1500 attack points" Alexis added and then Natasha's weapon changed into a bigger sword (CAN Attack 1000-2500) "Then I'll switch Cyber Blader back into attack mode and she will destroy your Gilford" Cyber Blader skated along the field and then swung her feet and the skates cut through Gilford and the monster exploded
Alexis: 7200
Jasmine: 3800
"And now Natasha will attack your Command Knight" The horse woman charged and swung her sword which went through Command Knight and destroyed the monster.
Alexis: 7200
Jasmine: 3800
"Now I end my turn"
"My move" Jasmine hissed as she drew her card "And I play Card of Sanctity, now we both draw until we hold 6 cards in our hands" Jasmine and Alexis drew until they held 6 cards in their hands "And now I summon another Marauding Captain." A second captain appeared on the field "And now I activate his ability which allows me to summon Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode" a warrior wearing black armour appeared on the field with blades attached to his hands (Level 4 Attack 1800 Defence 1600) "But he won't be on the field for long because I'm playing the spell card Release Restraint, now I sacrifice my Iron Knight in order to summon Gearfried the Swordmaster in attack mode" the Iron Knight was absorbed by an orb which then expanded and a muscular warrior with long black hair appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2600 Defence 2200) "And now I will equip him with two spells, Axe of Despair and another Lightning Blade" a large axe appeared in one hand which looked sinister and a blade with lightning covering it appeared in the other hand "My axe gives him an extra 1000 attack points while my Blade gives him an extra 800, so that's 1800 in total" (GTS Attack 2600-4400) "And there's more, each time a spell card is equipped to Gearfried, I can destroy one monster on your field"
"What!" Alexis gasped
"Oh no, that will leave Alexis completely defenceless" Jaden gasped
"Destroy her monsters!" Jasmine ordered and then Gearfried swung his sword and destroyed both of Alexis' monsters "Now he will attack you directly" Gearfried swung his sword again and struck Alexis which made her scream and was sent flying back.
Alexis: 2800
Jasmine: 3800
"And now my captain will attack you directly" Jasmine added and then the Captain swung his sword and struck Alexis which made Alexis groan again and she collapsed face first to the floor.
Alexis: 1600
Jasmine: 3800
"And now I will end my turn" Jasmine finished "Make your move if you think you can."
"Don't give up Alexis!" Jaden yelled
"Yeah, don't give up!" Neria added "Remember, Jasmine is your friend and she needs your help"
Alexis slowly pushed herself up "They're right, I can't give up" she said to herself "Jasmine is my friend and she needs my help and so does Mindy. And if we don't get past them then Solona could be in trouble" she then looked at Jasmine "I'm not giving up, I'm going to get you back Jasmine"
"Let's see you try" Jasmine mocked
Alexis drew her next card and saw her hand "These cards are just what I need to help." She said to herself "I'll start by playing my Ritual Sanctuary's effect so now by discarding my Warrior Returning alive spell, I can add a Ritual spell to my hand." Alexis added a Ritual spell to her hand "Then I'll play Monster reborn, this allows me to summon back my Cyber Petit Angel" the small pink angel returned to the field "But she won't be around for long because now I'm sacrificing her in order to summon Cyber Prima in attack mode" a silver armoured warrior with rings around her hands and waist along with a red mask and long silver hair appeared on the field (Level 6 Attack 2300 Defence 1600) "And since she was tribute summoned, I can destroy all face up spell cards on the field" Cyber Prima emitted a large blast of light which destroyed Alexis' field spell along with the equip spells on Gearfried. (GTS Attack 4400-2600) "And then I'll play the Ritual spell card Machine Angel Ritual, now by sacrificing my Prima along with my Djinn Evolver of Rituals in my hand, I can summon a Level 10 Cyber Angel monster and I choose Cyber Angel Vrash" a large Angel with a cog above her along with large wings appeared on the field (Level 10 Attack 3000 Defence 2000) "And since my Evolver was used for a Ritual summon, that Ritual monster gains 1000 attack points" Vrash glowed as she gained power (CAV Attack 3000-4000) "Next I play my second Machine Angel Absolute Ritual in my hand, this allows me to return my Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater to Ritual Summon a Level 8 Ritual monster, and I choose my Cyber Angel Dakini" a blue skinned woman with four arms, two holding a sword and the other two holding a large stick appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 2700 Defence 2400) "And when she is summoned, one monster on your field is destroyed and you get to pick"
Jasmine narrowed his eyes "I choose my Captain" she hissed as her Captain shattered
"It seems this duel is over" Alexis smirked "Dakini, attack that warrior" Dakini swung her swords around and slashed Gearfried with both of them which made the warrior groan before shattering
Alexis: 1600
Jasmine: 3700
"And now you're wide open" Alexis added "Vrash, attack her directly and end this duel" Vrash sent a beam of light which struck Jasmine and sent her flying back where she hit the ground.
Alexis: 1600 (Winner)
Jasmine: 0000
"Jasmine!" Alexis gasped as she began to walk forward "Are you alright"
But the path was blocked by Mindy "You're not getting past me!" she hissed "She may have been defeated but I still stand"
Alexis sighed as now it seemed she would have to face Mindy as well "Very well" she stated "let's duel"
But Mindy laughed and shook her head "No, you've already duelled once so I'll take on someone else" she looked around and then pointed at Neria "I think I'll take on you Neria Surana"
Neria narrowed her eyes and stepped forward "Very well then" She said "I'll duel you"
Neria and Mindy stepped onto a field and activated their duel disks and then drew 5 cards each.
"DUEL!"
Neria: 8000
Mindy: 8000
"I'll go first" Mindy stated "And I'll start by playing the spell card Valhalla Hall of the Fallen" a large feasting table appeared behind Mindy "Now once per turn, if I have no monsters on my field, I can summon a Fairy type monster from my hand. And now I'll use my spell in order to summon Trickstar Lycoris in attack mode" a small red and purple fairy appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1600 Defence 1200) "And now I summon Trickstar Candina in attack mode" a small blond haired fairy wearing a yellow robe and holding a megaphone appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1800 Defence 400) "And since she was normal summoned, her special ability activates allowing me to add one Trickstar to my hand and I choose my Trickstar Lilybell, and when she's added to my hand by an effect, I can summon her" a small pink haired fairy holding a bell appeared on the field (Level 2 Attack 800 Defence 200) "And finally ow I place one card facedown and then end my turn"
"My move" Neria stated as she drew her card
"But before you make your move, I activate my facedown" Mindy countered "Trickstar Reincarnation, now your hand is banished and then you have to draw the same number of cards" Neria sighed as she had some good cards in her hand but she placed her hand in her blazer then drew 6 new cards
"I think I know why Mindy chose Neria" Daylen stated
"Why?" Sereda asked
Daylen looked at Neria "Remember, the Lightsworns have a lot of discarding cards so Neria could deck out if she isn't careful and now she's already lost some good cards now because of that trap"
"And there's more" Mindy added "Since you drew new cards, you lose 200 life points for each card because of Lycoris' ability, plus the 200 since you drew a card before" Lycoris sent a blast of magic from her hands which blew Neria back making her groan in pain
Neria: 6600
Mindy: 8000
"Now carry on with your move" Mindy continued
Neria looked at her hand and saw that she had some good cards again "I'll start by activating Foolish Burial so now I can send one card in my deck to the grave" Neria sent her Jain to the grave "Now I summon Lumina Lightsworn Summoner in attack mode" a woman with short blond hair and wearing white clothing with balls of magic in her hands appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1000 Defence 1000) "And now I activate her effect, by discarding one card, I can summon one Lightsworn monster in my grave and so I bring back the monster I discarded, Jain Lightsworn Paladin in attack mode" a female warrior with white hair, white armour, red cape and holding a sword and shield appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1800 Defence 1200) "And now my Paladin will attack that Lycoris, and when Jain attacks, she gains 300 attack points" Jain's sword glowed as she charged forward (JLP Attack 1800-2100) Then her sword slashed through Lycoris causing the Fairy to scream before shattering
Neria: 6600
Mindy: 7500
"And now Lumina will attack that Lilybell" Neria added and then Lumina sent a ball of magic which struck Lilybell and caused the fairy to scream before shattering as well.
Neria: 6600
Mindy: 7300
"And now I will end my turn" Neria finished "Which means I have to discard 5 cards because of my monster's effects." Neria discarded five cards "And since my Wulf and Lightsworn Sabre were among then, their effects activate, so now I can summon Wulf and Lightsworn Sabre is equipped to Lumina giving her 700 more attack points"." A sabre sword appeared in Lumina's hands (LLS Attack 1000-1700) then a white cat monster holding a hammer and having a clawed hand appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 2100 Defence 300)
"My move" Mindy stated as she drew her next card "And I play Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two new cards" Mindy drew two new cards "Now I play the spell card Photon Lead, now I can special summon a level 4 or lower light monster from my hand, and I choose my Trickstar Nightshade in attack mode" a small pink haired fairy appeared on the field (Level 1 Attack 100 Defence 0) "Then I play Creature Swap which allows me swap my Nightshade for one of your monsters"
Neria sighed as she knew what Mindy was going as Nightshade was a weak monster "I choose Lumina" she stated and then Lumina and Nightshade swapped places
"And now I sacrifice both Lumina and my Trickstar Candina in order to summon Athena" Mindy added and then her monsters vanished and were replaced by a Goddess like monster with white, wearing a white robe and holding a sword and shield (Level 7 Attack 2600 Defence 800) "And now she will attack your Nightshade" Athena swung her sword and cut through Nightshade causing the little fairy to screech before shattering.
Neria: 4100
Mindy: 7300
"And now I will end my turn" Mindy finished
"My move" Neria claimed as she drew her card "And I'll start my turn by sacrificing Jain in order to summon Celestia Lightsworn Angel in attack mode" a blue haired angel with angel wings and holding a staff appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2300 Defence 200)
"Since you summoned a Fairy type, Athena's effect deals you 600 points of damage" Mindy stated and then Athena slashed Neria with her sword
Neria: 3500
Mindy: 7300
"Well you won't be able to do that for long" Neria stated "Because now I activate Celestia's effect, since I summoned her by tributing a Lightsworn, I can discard the top 4 cards of my deck and then I can destroy two cards on your deck, and I choose your Athena and Valhalla" Neria discarded 4 cards, one of which was Lyla Lightsworn Sorceress and another was her Judgement Dragon and then Celestia swung her staff and Athena and the spell card shattered "And now that your field is empty, Celestia and Wulf will attack you directly" Celestia sent a ball of magic from her staff while Wulf swung his Axe and threw Mindy back.
Neria: 3500
Mindy: 2900
"And now I will end my turn by throwing one card facedown" Neria finished
Mindy narrowed her eyes as she drew her card and she smirked when she saw it "I play Card of Sanctity so now we both draw until we hold 6 cards" Mindy and Neria drew until they held 6 cards in their hands "And since I have no monsters on my field, I can special summon Trickstar Calobane in attack mode" a fairy with long pink hair and wearing green robes appeared on the field wielding a large walking stick (Level 5 Attack 2000 Defence 1000) "And now I play Monster Reborn which allows me to summon back Athena from my grave" Athena returned from the grave and was ready for a fight.
"Why would Mindy summon those?" Faren asked "Sure Athena can take out one of Neria's monsters but the others aren't strong enough"
Mindy smirked "I won't need to worry about those monsters" she sneered "I play the spell card Lightning Vortex"
"Uh oh!" Kallian gasped
"Now by discarding one card from my hand, all your monsters are destroyed" Mindy stated and then a huge storm engulfed Neria's field and both Wulf and Celestia screamed before shattering.
"Oh no!" Daylen gasped "If Mindy attacks, it's over, Neria's life points can't survive these attacks"
Neria narrowed her eyes "You still have one monster to take on" she claimed "I play my facedown card, Glorious Illusion, now Celestia returns to the field" Celestia reappeared on the field.
"Well in that case, Athena, deals you damage since you summoned another Fairy and then she will attack Celestia." Mindy stated and then Athena swung her sword and destroyed Celestia.
Neria: 2600
Mindy: 2900
"And now Calobane will attack you directly as well" Mindy added and then Calobane sent a blast of magic which struck the field and created an explosion which blew Neria back who landed on the floor with a groan
Neria: 600
Mindy: 2900
"Neria!" Daylen gasped
"Oh no!" Aedan added "One more attack like that and this duel's is over"
Kallian looked at her friend "Neria get up, you need to get up so you can free Mindy and we can get closer to saving Solona"
Neria gave a few deep breaths and then she managed to push herself up "I'm not giving up!" she hissed "I can still do this"
"I doubt that!" Mindy sneered "I end my turn, now make your move"
Neria narrowed her eyes and then she drew her card and smiled at what it was "I play Monster Reincarnation, now I discard one card from my hand and then I can get my Judgement Dragon back to my hand which I discarded with Celestia's effect." The dragon returned to Neria's hand "And since I have at least 4 Lightsworns in my grave, I can summon her to the field" the large purple skinned dragon with red claws appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 3000 Defence 2600)
"All right, Neria's best monster!" Jaden cheered
"It's great but Neria can't activate her effect" Alexis stated
"Alexis is right" Aristide stated "Neria doesn't have enough life points"
Neria smirked "Not yet I don't" she stated "But I will now, I play Dian Keto the Cure Master, so now I gain 1000 life points" Neria glowed as her life points increased
Neria: 1600
Mindy: 2900
"And now I sacrifice those life points to activate Judgement Dragon's effect" Neria added "Now every other card on the field is destroyed" Judgement Dragon glowed bright which got brighter and brighter and then there was a massive explosion of light and then Mindy's Monsters shattered
Neria: 600
Mindy: 2900
"And now your field is empty so now I'm free to attack" Neria smirked "Judgement Dragon, attack and end this duel" Judgement Dragon unleashed a blast of white fire which struck the field near Mindy and blew her back. Mindy screamed as she was blown backwards where she hit a wall and crumpled to the floor.
Neria: 600 (Winner)
Mindy: 0000
"Mindy!" Alexis yelled as she ran over to her friends "Are you okay?" Mindy girls said nothing
Sereda went over to Jasmine and shook her "I think both Jasmine and Mindy are unconscious from the duel and the mind control" she said "We need to get them to the hospital"
Alexis nodded and looked at the others "Sereda and I will take Jasmine and Mindy back to the hospital" she said "I wish I could stay but I have to make sure my friends are safe. Just make sure you come back with Solona"
"We will Alexis" Jaden said "We'll make sure that Solona is okay"
Kallian walked forward "I'll help you two with them" she said as she helped Alexis pick up Mindy "You two can't do this alone"
Alexis and Kallian carried Mindy while Sereda helped Jasmine out and she turned to her friends as she left the room "Hey, good luck you guys" she said and then she too left
When they were gone, Aristide looked at the remaining group "Well now we have to carry on now." He said "We're close to my daughter but we still have two Brainwashed students to face"
"And these two are tough duellists" Chazz stated "I know how skilled they are and they won't be easy"
"And Livius will probably have upgraded their decks like he did with Jasmine and Mindy" Aedan added
"Well what are we waiting for, let's get going" Jaden stated and the others agreed
Chapter end:
Another chapter down and this will be the last time I use Trickstars since they're a Link deck mainly and I just struggle to write duels with them. I was originally going to have Sereda duel Mindy but decided on Mindy since it was an easier duel to write. The next chapter should be easier to write but will also have 2 duels. And there is one other thing, after I have finished the next two chapters, I will be taking a short break from this story because I plan to write some of my Rise of the Divines story and finish season two so I have two chapters left in this story to write before I take a break but the story will not be abandoned.

when you Ritual summon a monster, you can banish this card from the grave as one of the Ritual materials. If you use this monster as a Ritual Material, then that monster gains 1000 attack points.
