[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Alright, here’s the next chapter folks!  Right now, I’m already in the planning stages up to Chapter 12 and starting to work on them.  The only thing is that it becomes somewhat tiring to write duels!  Nevertheless…this is one of my best stories up to this point and I have no intention of stopping now.   Jeremy Joplin – I’m trying to keep everyone in character, as well as to make them more mature.  For example, Joey’s Anger management...   Fire Goddess101 – Yeah, they’re all bad.  Myself, I do have an incest story at Media Miner…actually more of a one-sided incest-paring story.  Which reminds me I need to get back to the final two chapters of that…soon.   Magicman/Smokegirl – Yes, it was done by card level!  As you can see, I tried to do the little shadow/penalty game bit and it obviously needs a bit of work.  As for Weevil…just check out this chapter.   LadyViolet24 – Thanks.  I’ll try to keep it going!    
Chapter 7: Rikku’s Second Match: Caught In Weevil’s Web!
      “What?” Rikku blinked from her yellow mobile phone as she listened to Tea brief her in at what she’s missed.  “Yugi already has four security spheres?”   “Yeah…” Tea explained.  “Joey managed to get two so he now has three in total, and I don’t even know how many Kaiba has gotten.”   “Okay then…how about Erika, Aria, and Arana?” Rikku asked.  

“I don’t know, and honestly I don’t care!”

  “Teyi!”  

“I’m sorry, but there’s just something that I don’t like about them, that’s all!”

  “Is it really that? Or is that something is a little thing called jealousy?”   “Of course not!  They’ve been spending more time with Joey than Yugi.”   “Oh really?”   “Yeah!  Anyway, Tristan decided to go with Brother to search for Marik and Bakura, as well as duels for Brother!”   “Speaking of whom, how many security spheres has he actually won so far?”   “Well…promise not to be shocked and make a big deal out of this.”   “Shocked?” Rikku giggled as she took a sip from her bottle of shoopuf milk.  “Why would I be shocked?” She heard Tea sigh.  

“You asked for it…right now, Brother has about six!”

  Rikku spat out the milk in shock.  “Say WHAT?”  

“Brother now  has six security spheres!”

  “What?  How the-” Rikku stopped herself as she smirked. “Exodia…of course!  Anyone could’ve won that quickly if they had the five cards of Exodia in their deck.” She decided that it was best to deal with the fact that Brother was the first in their group, and probably out of everyone else in the whole tournament to have advanced to the finals.  Even if he did use Exodia to win those spheres, Exodia wouldn’t be much help to him, especially not his Necross counterpart, now that she knows how to beat it!   “I don’t know, but you best watch out for him Rikku!  He’s looking for revenge!”   The Al Bhed girl smirked, “If that’s the case, I’m gonna have to make sure the result of our last duel doesn’t repeat itself.  As much as I don’t want to admit it, Brother had me beat with Exodia.  If it wasn’t for that duel disk malfunction, Brother would’ve won for sure!”   “Hmm…why don’t we meet up at the front of Luca Stadium at around three?” Tea suggested.   “Why not?” Rikku shrugged.  “It’s not like I’m finding any duels around here at the Calm Lands.” She admitted.  

“Alright then.  See ya there!”

  “Later Teyi!” With a click, Rikku placed her mobile back into her utility belt.  When Pegasus said that the tournament would be throughout Spira, he wasn’t kidding.  Everyone was spread out in the plains dueling each other.  There wasn’t anyone without anybody to duel!  That was what made Rikku frustrated.   ‘I can’t let Brother show me up!’ The Al Bhed thought as she walked into Macalania Woods, desperately searching around for an opponent. What she found, however, was much different then what she was looking for.   A young girl wearing a Kilika Beasts Blitzball uniform was on her knees, bawling.  Rikku approached the teary-eyed young girl. “Hey kid, what’s wrong?”   The girl sniffled, blue shoulder-length hair covering her eyes,  “Some mean man stole my spheres from me!  He tricked me into a duel and when he shuffled my cards, he must’ve done something to my deck because, as soon as the duel started…I lost…my cards, my duel disk…everything!”   “What?” Rikku blinked in shock.  “Who would do something like this?”  She looked at the young girl.  “What did he look like?”   “Well…he had the head of a beetle, and glasses in the shape of a bug’s eyes.” She sniffed, which made Rikku think.  Didn’t Tea told her about some bug-obsessed duelist named Weevil Underwood who had to cheat to win, but ended up failing anyway?  Most noticeably when he threw out Yugi’s Exodia cards into the ocean and hiring some kid to trick Joey into letting him see his duel disk, only to have it stolen and his deck tampered with.  If anything, this was probably another one of Weevil’s tricks.   Rikku looked at the girl.  “Don’t worry…I’ll get your things back.” She looks around.  “If I were a bug-obsessed jerk…where would I be…?”
As Rikku walked into the forest, the little girl watched the Al Bhed leave before she reached into her pocket and produced a miniture-sized walky-talky.  “She’s coming you way right now!” She said.   “Good…” Weevil grinned as he looked to his left.  “You were right!  Rikku is headed straight towards my trap!”   Seymour just smiled.  “Remember Weevil.  I’ve already done my part of the bargain for you and give you the cards you need.  You will get back your respect as a duelist.  Now you must live up to your end of the bargain, and help us gain a soul!”   The bug duelist sneered.  “Rex Raptor was a fool to pass up this offer, saying that he didn’t need the Eye of Horus!  Now I’ll become the number one duelist and no one will beat me! Not even Yugi, Kaiba, or Wheeler!”   Seymour sighed, “Just get the job done, or there will be severe consequences of your failure.”  He began to walk away. “She draws near, prepare yourself Weevil Underwood.”   Weevil got his duel disk ready as he heard footsteps.  Rikku was walking directly into his trap, as with the Eye of Horus on his side, the Al Bhed duelist had no chance of winning.  Then he would focus on bigger and better things.  Like avenging his Battle City lost to Joey, or even his Duelist Kingdom loss to Yugi.   “Weevil!  Where are you?” Rikku called as she then saw a figure wearing a duel disk running inside another part of the forest.  “You’re not getting away…” She ran after the figure!  ‘This must be Weevil…’ She thought as she saw the shorter figure, gaining on him. ‘He’s not getting away what he did.  To a little kid!’   Rikku entered another part of the woods.  It was the sunnier part of the forest.  “The jig is up! Show yourself Weevil!”  Rikku sighed as she looked up the tree.  ‘Why is it that everyone thinks that by hiding up there no one can find them…’  This was reminding her of the time when O’aka XXIV hid in the trees to avoid them while hiding from the Al Bhed debt collectors who were looking for his debt, which he has since paid.  Now O’aka was into the Duel Monsters fad, selling whatever packs of cards he could stock up in his shop in Macalania.  But back to business, if Weevil thought that he could hide there, he was wrong!   “You called?” Weevil jumped down from the tree and stood before the Al Bhed girl.   “You have some nerve!” She glared at the Bug Duelist.  “I heard that you were sneaky and slimy, but what you did to that girl was low, even for you!”   Weevil laughed, “You’re not talking about that girl from Kilika are you?”   “Yeah, why?” Rikku asked, which made Weevil laugh even louder.   “I don’t know what you have heard, but she is no victim!”   “What?” Rikku blinked in shock.   “She was working for me!  She was on lookout, just so I’ll know when you’re coming, Rikku!”   Rikku blinked in shock again. “H-how did you know my name?”   “Let’s just say that I talked to an old friend of yours.” Weevil smirked.  “Let’s just say that he wants you out of this tournament.”   ‘Probably Brother so he can make sure I don’t whip his tail again...” Rikku scoffed, “Well you’re gonna have to tell your boss that he’s going to be disappointed, because if anyone’s going to be knocked out of this tournament, it’ll be you!”   “HA!  You have no idea who you’re dealing with little girl!  I’m the regional champion in Duel Monsters.”   “Little girl?  Have you looked at yourself in the mirror, Half Pint?”   “Enough talk!” Weevil hissed.  “Now we duel!”   “Fine with me!” Rikku activated her duel disk the life points for both duel disk were rest.   Rikku: 8000 Weevil: 8000   “Why don’t we make this duel interesting:  We each wager two Security Spheres!” Weevil challenge.  “That is unless you’re too much of an amateur to accept!”   “Fine!” Rikku smirked.  “By the time I’m done with you, I’ll have four Security Spheres!”   “Let’s duel!” They both shouted as they drew five cards, with Rikku drawing one more.   “I’ll start by placing one monster facedown in defense mode!” Rikku announced as one card appeared on the field in defense position.  “Your turn, Bug Boy!”   Weevil drew a card.  “I’ll place one card face down and also one monster facedown in defense mode!” What was on Weevil’s side of the field was the same as Rikku, save for the additional card.   ‘Wish I placed Black Tyrano into my deck…’ Rikku sighed, regretting not placing the card she had won from Rex Raptor into her deck, as she drew another card.  “Okay then, I summon Giga Tech Wolf [1200/1400] in attack mode.” Rikku announced as with placing the card on the monster card zone of the duel disk, the fire-attribute mechanical wolf appeared on the field.  “Okay Giga Tech Wolf, attack Weevil’s facedown monster!” She ordered as the wolf rushed over and bit the monster, which was revealed to be Needle Worm [750/600], much to Weevi’s satisfaction, as it was destroyed.   “When you went to attack my Needle Worm, you activated its special ability!” He said as Rikku then noticed five needles sticking out from her deck.   “What the? What did you do to my deck?” She asked.   “Now you have to place five cards from your deck into the graveyard!” He laughed as Rikku reluctantly grabbed her five cards to be placed in the card graveyard.   ‘Let’s just hope that it’s not any of my stronger cards…’ Rikku looked at the five she picked up.  Much to her horror they were Cyber-Stein, Barrel Dragon, Blowback Dragon, Machine King, and Metal Zoa. “Aww…”   “I hope they weren’t any good cards you lost, otherwise this duel would be too easy!” Weevil grinned, which frustrated the Al Bhed.   “Fine…” Rikku sighed as she placed a card into the spell-trap zone.  “I end my turn by placing one card facedown.”   Weevil drew a card as a smile was placed on his face.  “I summon Neo Bug [1800/1700] in attack mode!” He announced as the earth-attribute bug was summoned on the field!  “Now my Neo Bug, attack Rikku’s facedown monster!” He ordered as the Neo Bug went to do just that, destroying Rikku’s Cyber Jar [900/900].   “You’re not the only one who can mess with someone’s deck!” Rikku informed Weevil as his Neo Bug and her Giga Tech Wolf and the facedown monster, which was revealed to be Helping Robo For Combat, were sent to the graveyard.  “Now we all draw five cards.  If any of them are monsters with 4 stars or lower, we place them on the field!”   Weevil scoffed as he drew five cards, “Fine with me…” He looked at the five cards he drew as a smile formed on his face.  ‘Perfect…’  He placed three cards on the field in facedown defense position, as it was now Rikku’s turn to draw her five cards.   Rikku looked at her cards and smiled.  Now she was getting better luck with this card than she did with her duel against Rex.  “I’ll place Z-Metal Tank [1500/1300] and Y-Dragon Head [1500/1600] in attack, and one more card in defense mode facedown.” She said.   “I end my turn by placing one more card face down!” Weevil informed as Rikku drew her card.   “First, I’m going to remove my Z-Metal Tank and Y-Dragon Head from play so I can Special Summon YZ-Tank Dragon [2100/2200].  “I now activate its special ability!” Rikku discards one monster card.  “All it costs me is one card from my hand, and I get to destroy any of your facedown monsters!  Lesse….” Rikku glanced at each of Weevil’s facedown monsters.  “Eeny meeny miney moe, which one of these cards has got to go?” She wondered as the Bug Duelist began to sweat.  Apparently if Rikku picked the right card, then his strategy would’ve gone downhill!   Rikku made her decision.  “I pick the one of the middle to be destroyed!  So YZ-Tank Dragon, destroy that monster…whatever it is…Ready, aim, fire!” Rikku ordered as the metal tank fired its lasers, obliterating the card, which was revealed to be another Needle Worm.   “Ha, that was just a mere fly compared to what I have in store for you, Rikku!” Weevil sneered as Rikku smiled.   “Who said that I was done?” Rikku smirked.  “YZ-Tank Dragon, destroy his left facedown monster with-”   “Activate Trap Card, Widespread Ruin!” Weevil ordered before Rikku could finish declaring her attack.  “It’ll destroy the-”   “I know what it does!” Rikku shouted.   “Then you’ll know whose monster is going to be destroyed!” Weevil laughed, “Say goodbye to YZ-Tank Dragon!”   “Oh no…” Rikku squealed as she saw her machine fusion monster explode.  Widespread Ruin was one of the traps she had in her deck, but now its effect was being used against her.  At least it wasn’t from her card…  “Fine…I’ll place two cards facedown and end my turn!” Rikku sighed in defeat.   ‘Just what I need!’ Weevil smiled at the card he drew.  It was Cocoon of Evolution. “First, I’ll reveal one of my facedown monsters, Petite Moth [300/200] in attack mode! Next, I summon Cocoon of Evolution [0/2000] in attack mode.” The small larvae-like moth was joined by a cocoon, which was summoned next to it.  But Weevil wasn’t finished.  “Now, I will equip my Petite Moth with the Cocoon of Evolution, changing its attack and defense to those of Cocoon of Evolution’s [0/2000]!”  After the moth went into the cocoon and sealed itself shut, Weevil continued, “And to make sure that my Cocoon of Evolution remains safe, I’ll sacrifice my facedown monster to summon Empress Mantis [2200/1400] in attack mode!” Weevil announced as the face down monster, which was Skull-Mark Ladybug, was sacrificed and in its place Mantis Empress was summoned on the field.  “And since my Skull-Mark Ladybug was sent to the graveyard, I gain 1000 life points!” Weevil declared as his life points increased.   Rikku: 8000 Weevil: 9000   Weevil grinned, “Since you don’t have any monsters to defend your Life Points, my Mantis can attack directly!” With that said, the Mantis went in and attacked Rikku, thus lowering her Life Points…   Rikku: 5800 Weevil: 9000   “I end my turn by placing two cards facedown!” Weevil concluded as Rikku drew a card.    “Okay…”Rikku sighed.  She had to do something to get rid of that Mantis!  Also, what was with the Cocoon of Evolution?  Petite Moth hardly had any attack points before that Cocoon!  Something was up, and her instincts were telling her to get rid of Petite Moth as fast as possible, but what could she do.  She’s already lost most of her stronger attack monsters, thanks to Weevil’s Needle Worm.  Right now, the biggest threat was Mantis Empress.  Right now, she had two Blue Eyes Toon Dragons, Cyber-Tech Alligator, Zoa, Dark Magician Girl, and another Blowback Dragon. Cards that could save her, but as of now, she didn’t have the right amount of tributes, nor the right cards to summon them, so they were pretty much all but useless.  She sighed, “I end my turn without making a move, and since I can’t have seven cards in my hand, I’ll send one card to the graveyard…Rikku sighed as she sent her Cyber-Tech Alligator card to the graveyard!”   “Tsk tisk tisk…” Weevil shook his head. “I hope you have better moves than that, because in five turns, it’ll all be over!” Weevil drew a card.  “I summon Kumootoko [700/1400] in attack mode!” The Bee-like bug was summoned on the field, adding more power to Weevil’s attack force!  Now Weevil could take out 2900 of Rikku’s life points in a single turn.  “Now Arsenal Bug and Empress Mantis, attack Rikku directly!”   All the Al Bhed girl could do was to shield herself from the attack as her life points dropped…   Rikku: 2900 Weevil: 9000   “From the rate things are going for you, you won’t even be able to see the strongest creature in my deck, my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!”   The Al Bhed thief blinked, “Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!?”   “After six turns have passed with Cocoon of Evolution equipped to Petite Moth, I’ll be able to summon my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!”   Rikku was in shock with this new information!  “So that’s why you equipped the Petite Moth with the Cocoon of Evolution?”   “It doesn’t matter now, since you’re 2900 life points away from losing this duel and your Dark Magician Girl!”   “We’ll see about that!” Rikku said as she drew a card. “Pleaseletitbehelpfulleaseletitbehelpfulleaseletitbehelpful… 221; She said to herself in a pleading tone.  After she saw the card, it appeared that Rikku had a new look of hope on her face.  “I’ll place one card facedown and end my turn!”   “Hmm…” Weevil pondered.  “I know that you want me to attack, so I’ll place my monsters in defense mode!” He said as Empress Mantis and Kumootoko went into a defensive pose.  “I end my turn!”   Rikku drew a card as she sighed.  “Desperate times call for desperate measures!”  She then played a card in the Spell/Trap zone of her duel disk. “I play Monster Reborn to bring back a monster from the graveyard!  And when I say graveyard, I mean from either of ours!  And guess which one I choose: Skull-Mark Ladybug!” She announced as Weevil’s Skull-Mark Ladybug appared on Rikku’s side of the field!  “And now, it’s going back to the graveyard as I sacrifice that to summon Blowback Dragon [2100/1200] in attack mode!” She said as the ladybug was replaced by the smaller, weaker version of Barrel Dragon.  “And you know what happens when Skull-Marked Ladybug is sent to the graveyard, right?” Rikku reminded as he Life Points increased.   Rikku: 3900 Weevil: 9000   “You should’ve kept them in attack mode, at least your Empress Mantis.   Because at each turn, my dragon will decided if it’ll destroy any card I want destroyed or not, by the roulette on the side of the gun!  Let’s check it out, shall we!   “What!?”
As the roulette on the machine dragon’s gun spun, it slowed down as it was almost to a complete stop.  It appeared to have passed the quarter circle filled with red, but it just stopped at the line.   “Phew…” Rikku sighed to her relief that she’ll be able to destroy Weevil’s monsters.  She wanted to get rid of the Cocoon of Evolution, but as of right now, it wasn’t the biggest threat…  “Say goodbye to your Mantis, Weevil!”   “No!” Weevil cried as the machine dragon unleashed its blast onto Empress Mantis, destroying it.   “And that’s just the beginning….” Rikku smiled.  “Now Blowback Dragon, destroy his Kumootoko!”   Weevil seethed as he saw another one of his precious bugs be destroyed at the hands of the Al Bhed girl.  “You’ll pay for that!”   “Why don’t you try to make me?  I end my turn, so it’s yours now!” Rikku said, now confident.  “Because next turn, your cocoon’s next Weevil!”
Weevil scoffed as he drew a card from his deck. “We’ll see about that, because now I place a monster facedown in defense mode and end my turn!”   Rikku’s smirk grew wider, “You bring’em and my dragon will knock’em down!” She then drew a card.  “I’ll place one monster facedown in defense mode! Now say goodbye to your facedown monster!” Rikku said as Blowback Dragon went to attack!  This, apparently, was what Weevil counted on as the monster that was attack was Man-Eater Bug.   “I must thank you Rikku!  When you attacked it, you activated the effects of my Man-Eater Bug, which means that if my bug’s going to be destroyed, your machine is destroyed as well!”   “Oh no!” Rikku cried as she watched Blowback Dragon be destroyed, as well as Man-Eater bug!   “Oh yes!”   With a sigh, Rikku placed another card on the field. “I place one card face down and end my turn…”   Weevil laughed.  “Face it Rikku, you’re no match for my bugs!  And just to make sure you don’t even try to attack them, I play Swords of Revealing Light, which will keep you from attacking for three whole turns!”   Rikku watched as light swords surrounded her facedown card, which was immediately flipped up and revealed to be X-Head Cannon [1800/1500].  “Great…” She sighed.   “Now, I’ll place one more monster facedown in defense mode and end my turn!” Weevil declared, confident that his opponent didn’t have the right cards to overcome the swords, let alone his soon-to-be-summoned Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!   Rikku drew another card as she looked at the card.  It was W-Double Wing Catapult. With its defense at 1600 and attack at 1400, it couldn’t do much against his Great Moth that is if he summoned it.  But from the looks of things, Weevil was definitely going to get his chance.  Petite Moth has been equipped with Cocoon of Evolution for four turns already, and this is just the 2nd turn of the Swords of Revealing Light.  She knew that she definitely had to find the right card now, and she’ll have one more chance next turn.  “I’ll place one monster face down to end my turn…” She sighed as the facedown card appeared on the field was next surrounded by the sword-like lights!   The bug duelist smiled as he drew a card.  “One more turn and my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth will be summoned to the field, and by then this duel will be over!  So I’ll end my turn by placing another monster face down in defense mode!”   “Arrogant little gnat…” Rikku muttered as she drew her card. She gave a sigh, as the card couldn’t possibly help her at this point, but maybe it’ll help her against whatever Weevil had in his deck. “I’ll play the Spell Card Toon World!  It allows me to summon my Toon Monsters into the game.  All it costs to activate it is a large, but worthwhile price of 1000 life points!” She says as her Life Points begin to drop…   Rikku: 2900 Weevil: 9000   “Whatever Toon you may have in your deck, it won’t be enough to stop my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!” Weevil declared.   “That’s where your wrong!” Rikku picked out a card from her hand.  “I now sacrifice my X-Head Cannon and W-Double Ring Catapult to summon Blue Eyes Toon Dragon [3000/2500]!” She announcedas the W and X machine monsters were sacrificed to be replaced by the much stronger Toon version of Blue Eyes White Dragon. However, since Weevil’s Swords of Revealing Light was still in play, the swords surrounded the Toon Blue Eyes!  “Be glad that these Swords are still there, let alone the fact that my dragon can’t attack the same turn it’s summoned!  Otherwise your Moth would’ve been history before it appeared!  Therefore, I end my turn!”   Weevil laughed as he drew his card.  “First, I activate one of my first facedown card, Insect Barrier!” He said as barrier was placed around the field.  He looked up at Rikku, “You think that Blue Eyes Puny Dragon can stand up to my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!?”   “Don’t insult my dragon, Bug Boy!” Rikku glared.  “Just bring on your so-called “Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!” She challenged.   “Hmph, be careful what you wish for!  Since it’s been six turns since it was equipped with Cocoon of Evolution, I sacrifice my Petite Moth, so I can summon my strongest monster in my deck in attack mode!”   Rikku watched on as the cocoon began to break open, revealing a strong, giant moth in its place. “W-what is that thing?” She asked, with a bit of cautiousness in her voice.   “Behold!” Weevil announced as the summoned monster hovered tall.  “My Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth [3500/3000]!  There are only three monsters in all Duel Monsters who could defeat it: Gate Guardian, Master of Oz, and Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!  And from the look on your face, you don’t appear to have any of them!” He looked up to his Moth.  “Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, take out Rikku’s Blue Eyes Toon Dragon!” He ordered as the Moth went for the attack, leaving Rikku to shield herself!  She couldn’t stand to see her “huggable dragon” get destroyed, let alone by something like what she was facing!   “Duh!” Rikku scoffed as she remembered one of her facedown cards she had on the field… “Activate Mirror Force!”  She declared as the same mirror-like barrier appeared in front of her Blue Eyes Toon Dragon, which reflected the attack back to its sender, destroying Weevil’s Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth, much to his horror!   “NOOOO!” He screamed as he fell to his knees, which enforced the smile on Rikku’s face.   “After all that bragging, your Moth didn’t even last one turn…” She shook her head in pity!  “Some Regional Champion.”   Rikku noticed Weevil’s lack of movement.  “Hello!? …Anyone there?  …Earth to Weevil!  …Last chance…”  She sighed, “I’ll take it you’re forfeiting?  I would too if I got humiliated by a rookie…” Finally, Weevil made a response, but not the one Rikku was expecting.  The Bug Duelist began to laugh a bit, but not just any laugh.  A more, manic-like laugh…   The Al Bhed blinked, “What’s with you?”   “Did you really think it was over?  Did you really think that you could’ve defeat a Regional Champion like me that easy?” He asked, somewhat sinisterly.   “What are you talking about?  My Blue Eyes is still on the field, your swords are gone, and it doesn’t matter how many monsters you have on the field since my Toon monster can attack directly since I know they’re not Toons!” Rikku was getting annoyed.  “So what’s the big secret? Spill it!”   “You seem to have forgotten my other facedown card!” He reminded.   Rikku blinked. ‘He’s right, I did forget about it…both actually…’   “Remember, my Insect Barrier prevents any insect monsters you have on the field to attack!” Weevil reminded.   Rikku rolled her eyes. ‘“Hello?  My monster’s a dragon type!  And I don’t even have any Bug Monsters!”   “You do now!  Once I activate my facedown card, DNA Surgery!”   Rikku blinked again, “DNA Surgery!?”   The trap card was revealed, “This card allows all monster of the field to be any type I choose! Guess what type I choose!”   “You mean?”   “That’s right!  Now all of your monsters will become Insects!” As Weevil said that, Rikku’s Blue Eyes Toon Dragon began to grow insect characteristics, much to Rikku’s horror!    “My Blue Eyes!” She cried.  “Now it’s a Blue Eyes Toon Dragonfly!”   “If you think that’s bad, you haven’t seen anything yet!”    “What do you mean, Weevil?”   Weevil picked a card from his hand as he laughed.  “I didn’t think that I’d have to use it, but you brought this on yourself when you destroyed my Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!  Now, I activate my Spell Card, The Eye of Horus!”   “The Eye of what!?” Rikku replied in shock.  She didn’t think that Weevil would’ve had that card, and it wasn’t because it went against his Insect theme.   “This game has just become more serious, because as of right now, we’re playing a Shadow Game!” Weevil explained as from the card, a purple-ish fog began to cover the area.  Making Macalania Woods dark…well…darker than before.  The Eye of Horus itself then appeared on Weevil’s forehead.   “Shadow Game!?”  Now Rikku was in trouble!  If a Shadow Game was anything like what happened with Yami Bakura and the game Yugi played with Logos and Ormi, she was in definite trouble!  “How could you get a card like that?”   “Just consider it a gift from your old friend Seymour!”   “S-Seymour!?” Rikku’s state of mind went from shock, to a whole new level of shock, maybe even fear!  “…You don’t mean Maester Seymour, right?”  
“That’s exactly who I mean, Rikku!  And now, not only will you lose your Dark Magician Girl and Security Sphere to me, but your soul as well!” Weevil laughed as the Eye of Horus glowed brightly on his forehead!  Rikku couldn’t believe that Seymour was alive, let alone that he gave a card such as the one Weevil just played to him!  All she knew right now was that the rules of this game were about to change!
  Just when Rikku thought that the tough part was over, she finds out that she only got out of the frying pan and into the fire!  Since Weevil activated the Eye of Horus, what kind of Shadow Game does he have in mind?  Find out in the next chapter!   Preview for Next Chapter:   “I hope that you’re not too scared to continue Rikku, because we still have a Shadow Game to play!” Weevil reminded as he tilted his glasses. “Or do you want to lose your soul?”   “I’m not scared, you hear!” She shouted at him.  Whatever Weevil had in his insect-obsessed head, she knew that she would have to go through with it.  “So what kind of ‘Shadow Game’ do you have in mind?”   The bug duelist grinned.  “In this Shadow Game, as we lose life points, our bodies will be wrapped up in webbing into a cocoon!  The perfect wrapping paper to sent a soul-sized present to Maester Seymour!  And since you’re the only one to lose any Life Points, let alone half of them…”   Rikku shrieked in horror as she looked down and saw her legs and the rest of her lower body were being wrapped up in webbing!  “…I can’t move my legs!”   “You should’ve thought of that before you decided to gamble your Life Points!  Maybe next time it’ll teach you not to waste your Life Points!”   Chapter 8: The Seriousness of Rikku’s Duel! Risking A Soul?
