Yugi meets the Saber Dolls By: DJ Rodriguez   (Author’s Notes: Sorry for long delay, but I have been sick for some time now. I’m getting better, but not quite at 100% yet.   Darien: In any case, thanks to all for your wonderful reviews! We hope that you have immensely enjoyed the show so far! Now, let us see what happens now!   DJ: For the letter, I used in here the cards that I have in real life. I have a lot, but let’s see on what develops, okay? Oh, here is the line-up on when turns are shared:   1st- Tiger 2nd- Raphael 3rd- Lynx 4th- Valon 5th- Panther 6th- Alister 7th- Katrina 8th- Mai 9th- Joey 10th Rex 11th- Yami 12th- Weevil   Now, on with the fanfic!)  

Chapter 12

  So, the line-up was this: Katrina was going to take on Mai Valentine, Joey Wheeler vs. Rex Raptor, Lynx vs. Valon, Tiger vs. Raphael, Panther vs. Alister, and finally Yami vs. Weevil Underwood. It was going to be duel to end all duels!! The participants lined up, sizing each other up.   Tiger smirked at Raphael and stated, “This shouldn’t take long.”.   The massive blonde man just sneered and replied, “I was about to say the same thing about you. Let’s see on how well a machine does against me.”.   Panther gazed at her prey and just smiled, like a jungle cat does when finally cornering its meal. She said, “You are so going to get thrashed after I’m done with you, boy!”.   Alister just snarled at the remark, hating to be called a boy. He remarked, “Bring it on, you tin-plated piece of shit!”.   Lynx analyzed Valon’s deck, and the read-out was predictable. To her, of course. “I’m going to defeat you soundly, you rookie.”, she told him.   Valon just snorted in amusement and replied, “Bring it on!”.   So, the duel began! Tiger went up and so did Raphael, and they did Paper-Rock-Scissors, according to the rules of the game. Tiger won with scissors, and decided to go first. Raphael would go second.   They all went to their respective places and all of them shouted, “TIME TO DUEL!!!”. The LP stats flared up, and the battle began!   Tiger and Raphael drew five cards, then the busty redhead drew one more from her hand, since she was starting things off. She looked at them, and smiled. ‘This is good!’, she thought.   She stated firmly, “I lay one card face-down, and I summon Harpie’s Brother!”. One card revealed itself in the Magic/Trap area in facedown position, and appearing in front of it was a tall monster, sprouting red-black wings and having a long, red claw weapon on its right arm.   Raphael saw that it was now his turn, and drew a card. He looked at his hand, then at the field. “I lay two cards face-down, and I set one monster on the field.”, he said. Three cards appeared in front of him, and he ended his turn.   ‘I wonder what the cards are. I’m more then sure that they are Trap cards, and his monster has a defense power higher then my monster’s attack power.’, Tiger thought.   Meanwhile, Panther and her opponent Alister were already in high gear. Panther went first, and she had one card on the field and a Inpachi monster in attack mode. Now, it was Alister’s turn. He drew a card, then smirked evilly.   “I lay one card face-down, and I summon Mechanicalchaser!”, he exclaimed. Out appeared a medium-sized orb appeared, sprouting gray metallic wings. It had three arms, each carrying a weapon and looking very vicious.   Panther just smirked inwardly, knowing on what was coming next. Alister ordered his machine to attack, which it did. It flew towards the wooden machine monster, and sliced it down the middle with its knife-like tail! As soon as the monster was destroyed, the Mechanicalchaser also disappeared from view.   “What did you do?!”, Alister exclaimed.   Panther just chuckled and revealed her facedown card, which was a Trap card. “I activated my Trap card, Michizure. After a monster on my side of the field is destroyed, this Trap allows me to destroy one monster on the field. Thus, your monster is now gone!”.   Alister just growled, never expecting that particular Trap card. It was rarely used in common duels, and he never expected that it would show up. Although Panther lost 250 LP, she didn’t seem fazed by this.   “You through? If so, its my turn!”, she declared smugly.   While that went on, Lynx and her opponent Valon were going at it hard. Lynx already had two cards facedown, and a Mystic Tomato in attack mode. Valon was contemplating his move. He said, “I lay one card face-down on the field, and summon Rogue Doll!”.   A small doll clothed in a large purple robe popped up from out of thin air, wielding a fairly long staff. The monster was then ordered to attack Lynx’s monster, which it did. The living tomato was destroyed, but it was soon replaced with another monster, which was a Saber Slasher.   “I may have lost 200 LP, but at least my monster’s effect went to play. When it is destroyed in battle, I get to Special Summon any Dark-attribute monster with an attack power of 1500 or less from my Deck.”, Lynx told him matter of factly.   Valon growled, seeing that she had actually wanted for that monster to get destroyed. ‘Now that mechanical vixen actually has a monster which she can use to sacrifice to summon an even more powerful monster!’, he thought. His assumptions were correct, as Lynx’s turn came up and she sacrificed her monster to summon Amphibian Beast (2400/2000).   Joey and Rex were also getting down as they dueled. Joey had a card facedown, and his trusty Axe Raider on the field in attack mode. Rex was now making his move. “I’m going to clean your clock good, you second-rater! I summon Two-Headed King Rex, and I power him up with my Raise Body Heat Magic card!”, he exclaimed with a smirk.   His trademark monster appeared on the field, and the Magic card did its trick. The monster soon glowed in an orange aura, and its attack/defense were raised by 300 points. Its stats were now 1900/1500. Rex ordered the monster to attack, which it did.   “Rex, its time I opened your eyes! Reveal Trap card now!”, Joey called out. His facedown card stood up… to reveal the Trap card, The Emperor’s Holiday. Suddenly, Rex’s monster stopped glowing and its stats went back to normal. “What in the Hell-?!”, the young Dino-Duelist exclaimed in surprise.   Joey stood proud and stated, “This Trap card negates the effects of all Equip Spell cards, which means your card is no longer active! Its right back to being a small-time lizard!”.   The dinosaur could not stop its attack in time, and was soon sliced in half by Joey’s monster’s axe. Rex lost a monster, and also 100 LP. He growled at Joey, whom just smirked slightly and drew a card. After all, his turn was now over. It looked like Rex would have a very long day.   Meanwhile, Katrina was holding her own against Mai. The Texas cutie went up first and summoned Kanan the Swordmistress. “Come on, you bleached blonde! Show me what ya got!”, she shouted out.   Mai just chuckled as she drew a card. “Listen, rookie. I’m taking my sweet time here, because I like to take duelist like you piece by piece. And for the record, my hair is 100% natural.”, she stated.   Katrina just smirked and replied, “I believe you about the hair, but what about your chest and ass? From where I’m standing at, they are mostly silicone.”.   That little taunt/remark got Mai’s blood boiling fast! She growled loudly and shrieked, “I summon Harpy Lady in attack mode, and I equip her with my two Magic cards, Fairy Meteor Crush and Follow Wind!!”.   Her favorite monster appeared on the field, and was soon glowing with a mixture of pink and green aura. The equip Magic cards were working, and Harpie Lady stats were now 1600/1700! “Go, Harpy Lady! Attack that swordswoman now!”, Mai exclaimed.   The bird-lady flew fast and slashed at the brunette, shattering her and causing Katrina to lose 200 LP. Katrina just stood her ground, proud as a true Texan. “Nice move, but this duel is just getting started!”, she stated firmly as it was her turn now.   Yami and Weevil were starting their duel, and of course Yami went first. He drew a card and studied his hand for a moment. “Yugi, thanks for giving me another chance.”, he mentally told his partner.   “Hey, I think you had enough time to think things out. Besides, it’s past history now. Just remember what is important, and don’t be deceived by their words again.”, Yugi replied.   Yami said he would, then turned his attention back on the duel. “I summon Hourglass of Courage, and I lay three cards face-down on the field.”, he stated.   A funny hourglass with wings appeared in the field, and then its stats got cut in half. It was now only 550/600. Weevil laughed hysterically and exclaimed, “Is that the best you can do?! A monster that actually gets weaker when it is summoned?!”.   Yami just kept his cool, a smirk on his face. ‘It has a trick that is worth seeing, Weevil. Have to wait a while, though.’, he thought.   Weevil continued to chuckle as he drew his card. He said, “Since that monster is weak, this will be easy! I summon Jirai Gumo!”. Shortly, a large spider appeared, and its stats were 2200/100! The Bug Duelist ordered his monster to attack, which it did. However, he had to flip a coin first.   ‘If its heads, I attack! But, if its tails… I lose half of my Life Points! But, I still attack anyway.’, Weevil thought.   He flipped a coin, and it turned out to be tails. He lost 2000 LP, but his insect attacked anyway. “Sorry, Weevil! Not today! I reveal my facedown card, Mirror Force!”, Yami declared.   The bug flung some poisonous spit at Yami’s monster, only to have it be reflected by a mystical force and sent right back at it! The gigantic bug was hit by its own poison, and melted away into nothingness. Weevil shrieked in anger, vowing to get Yami for this little turnabout.   “My turn.”, Yami stated simply as he drew a card.   On the sidelines, everyone looked on at the battles in interest. “It seems that they are off to a good start now.”, Téa said. She hated to admit it, but the Dolls and Katrina were doing well for first-timers.   “I know, but the battles have just started, Téa. Only later on will they show how good they REALLY are.”, Tristen commented.   Duke added in, “You’re right, jacket-boy. The matches are only going to get intense from here, and those bozos might use those Orichalcos cards.”.   Rebecca stated, “Duke, if that happens, it’ll be our turn at bat. Let’s just study the duel and see what we got to do in order to beat any of them.”.   So, all of them started to pay close attention to the Doom crew: they started to analyze their decks, spot for any weaknesses, and come up with some good counter-attacks. Like it or not, they were the B-Team. Should the main team fall, it would be up to them to step in and save the world.   (Author’s Notes: Sorry for delay, but sickness and college kept me busy. In any case, the duels have begun! I hope you like it so far.   Darien: The Dolls decks are based on these attributes: Wind, Water, Earth, and Fire. Katrina will use Light monsters, and Yami will use Dark ones.   DJ: ^_^ We hope you trust us here. Do not worry, things will be fine! Anything you wish to say to the characters, both on Yugi and Dartz’s side?   R&R, no flames, enjoy, and leave long reviews!)
