When All Was Lost...

Chapter Twenty

20

They stood opposite against the blowing wind of the roof top...

The only thing keeping them balanced and stable was the grappling cable Linking them together...

The Loser's Duel Disk will explode which may or may not be enough recoil to make them fall through...

There was a lot riding on this duel.

LEADER: 4000

Akarii: 4000

I need to end this fast...

Yusei and Kalin depend on it!

"i'm going!" said Akarii, "And I'll start with Regenerating Mummy- in attack mode!"

Regenerating Mummy

ATK: 1800

DEF: 1500

"Next I'll lay down two face downs and end my turn!"

"My turn then!" he gruffed, "And Ill start by activating Burden Of The Mighty!" he stated, "This spell Drops the attack of your monsters by 100 points by it's level."

Akarii growled as her Mummy now dropped to 1400- being a level 4 monster

"Next I'll activate this! Shien's castle of mist!" a field spell that affected Six Samurai cards...

"Now I summon The Six Samurai- Zanji!"

The Six Samurai- Zanji

ATK: 1800

DEF: 1300

"I activate a trap!" said Akarii, "Go Bottomless Trap Hole!"

"No!" the man growled as his monster took a fall.

"Fine then...I'll end my turn with two face downs!" he growled.

"My turn!" said Akarii, "And I', gonna summon Patrician Of Darkness...by Sacrificing my mummy!" she declared.

Normally her creature would have 2000 attack points..but thanks to his spell, he was down to 1500...being a level 5.

"I'll set one card face down and come at you directly!"

"AUUUUGH!" he screamed as his life point meter dropped.

LEADER:

4000- 2500

Akarii: 4000

"And with that...I'll end my turn." she stated.

"And with that- I'll TAKE mine!" he declared, "And I'll summon Shien's Footsoldier!"

Shien's Footsoldier

ATK: 700

DEF: 300

"Which I'll attack with!"

Attack? Why would he attack? Clearly my monster is stronger...

Something didn't seem right about this...

"I choose to activate a Trap Card!" she declared, "Sakuretsu Armor!" she claimed, "Your monster probably has an effect that triggers when it's destroyed by battle, right?" She asked.

"Grrh..."

Thought so...

Akarii thought to herself.

This type of effect Akarii was all too familiar with in her own deck...

"Well since This trap will be the source of its destruction and not battle- that effect can't activate!" she smirked.

With that...this duel was over.

"I summon Malevolent Mech- Goku En!" she declared.

"HOW!?" he questioned, "That's a level 6 monster! You need to tribute."

"Not this time." said Akarii, "Thanks to it's special ability- I can summon my Malevolent Mech without tributing."

"Maybe..." he stated, "But then won't it get destroyed when the turn is over? Not to mention you take damage equal to it's attack." he smirked "Why even risk it?"

"That outcome is only accurate if it's the only Zombie monster on my field...which it's not." she grinned as she pointed out her Patrician Of Darkness- who was also a zombie card, "Besides...even if it was still possible...I only need it to last this turn!" she declared.

After all...her opponent only had 2500 life points...so even with both of her monster's attack power dropped thanks to his Spell Card Burden Of The Mughty- It was still more than enough to clean house.

"GO!" she declared...and wiped the floor of this battle.

"NO!" he called out as his Life points hit zero and the machine on his arm went up in smoke.

"All right!" said Crow.

"Akarii won!" grinned Jack.

Within the commotion, Kalin managed to drag Yusei back to safety with Crow's help and they soon joined her in blocking the man's way in his no-so-great escape.

He took to the door only to be greeted by a round house kick by Jack, knocking him out cold!

"Hahaha, nice Jack!" they all laughed and gathered around each other.

"Yusei...I'm so glad you're okay!" said Akarii, throwing her arms around her dear friend.

"Me too, Akarii." he said softly, returning the gesture.

"I'm glad you're okay too, Girlie," said Jack ruffling up her already rather frazzled red hair,"Your well earned victory was nicely done!"

"Yeah no kidding." said Crow," Had me worried there..."

"Yeah but she won in the end!" said Kalin,"And so did we." he showed them a blacked out map of the areas that made up the Satellite District. "This was the last area~" he beamed,"We did it! Satellite is safe at last!"

They all cheered as he tossed the map to the wind.

"Nothing left to do now but duel each other!" Crow beamed.

"Haha, yeah let's do it!" Akarii cheered,"I'll knock Kalin on his Ass!"

"Yeah that's what you think little girl~" said Kalin, taking a second wack at her hair.

There was no way it was presentable now.

"I say go for it, Akarii! All hail our new leader- The Girlie!" said Jack.

"Wait- you don't actually mean thet, right?" asked Kalin, "We gotta put it to a vote at least!"

"Hey man- you shouldn't joke about being led by weomen!" said Crow, "Girl's are tougher than we give'em credit for-"

"Yeah, I guess you're right..." said Jack," But I got Yusei first!"

"In your dreams, Jack!"

Satellite was united at last... thanks to The Enforcers.
