Yugi meets the Saber Dolls By: DJ Rodriguez   (Author’s Notes: Hello, everyone. Due to some critical reviewers, I have decided to suspend one of my songfics indefinitely. It’s a big blow to my pride as a writer, since it is only one of the very few things I am proud of.   Darien: In any case, DJ’s college finals are almost over. Soon, he will be able to update more often. We hope you all have enjoyed his fanfics and songfics so far.   Now, on with the fanfic!)  

Chapter 19

  It was about 3:55 p.m., precisely about five hours since the two Blue-Eyes White jets took off from Amarillo. For a brief period of time, there was a little excitement going on in the larger of the two metallic flyers. However, it was now very quiet and still. And how was it possible?   Téa Gardner and Rebecca Hawkins were stoically guarding the entrance to a door, apparently the entrance to the sleeping quarters. Behind it was one Yugi Moto, who had finally snapped out of his trance and was still red as a tomato. He knew what he had done, and was embarrassed about it. Téa and Rebecca saw it fit to keep him under observation until the jet landed in Florida.   Until then, no one was allowed to enter without their say so. The Saber Dolls were just fuming that they were not allowed to see their master, but the others convinced the trio that Yugi needed a bit of space for a while. So, they reluctantly stayed in the main area of the jet.   “So, Tiger. What is your stragedy for dueling?”, Tristen inquired. He was just trying to strike up a conversation with the buxom babe, given that it was uncomfortably quiet for all.   Tiger took out her deck from her hip pocket and showed Tristen her cards. “My deck utilizes mostly a mixture of monsters that fall under the attributes of Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth. When I have all four attributes on my side of the field, I will be able to activate this Trap card.”.   She showed him the Trap card, and it turned out to be Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan. “This card can only be activated when at least one monster each of the attributes are face-up on my side of the field. When it is activated, I can either choose one of the effects: 1.)    Destroy all monsters on my opponents’ side of the field. 2.)    Destroy all Spell and Trap cards. 3.)    Randomly discard 2 cards from my opponents’ hand. 4.)    Draw two cards.   Tristen was very impressed. It seemed that Tiger’s deck focused on getting the four attributes out so the Trap card could be activated. “From the look of monsters you have, and their effects, you stand a good chance of winning any duel.”, he said.   Joey sat across from Lynx and also asked on what he deck theme was. The blue-haired beauty was without a doubt the mindful tactician of the three Saber Dolls. She pulled out her deck and showed it to the brown-haired duelist. “My deck revolves around mostly Normal monsters, and this Spell card.”, she said.   Joey saw the Spell card, which was Delta Attacker. “This Spell card can only be activated when three Normal monsters of the same name are face-up on my side of the field. Tokens do not count. Once the card is activated, it allows my monsters to deliver Direct Damage.”.   Joey whistled, knowing that if played right, the card could do immense damage. “Wow, Lynx. Pretty slick. And from the look of cards you have, I say you have a fair chance of using that Spell card.”.   Katrina went over to Panther and decided to strike up conversation too. “Panther, do you have any specific deck that you are going to use when we face those Doom jerks?”, she asked.   Panther did like her ‘sisters’ had done and showed the young Texan her deck. “My deck is to hit them hard and fast, and also without using monsters. I plan to use two special Trap and Spell cards to win my battles.”. Panther’s deck consisted of mainly Trap and Spell cards, similar to Arkana.   She handed to Katrina two cards: A Trap card by the name of Chain Burst, and a Spell card called Spell Absorption. “The Trap card will cause 1000 points of damage to each player who activates a Trap card, and the Spell card will increase my Life Points by 500 for each Spell card that is activated.”, she explained.   Katrina nodded her head, saying, “Not bad, not bad. A Trap card that does immense damage to the enemy, while a Spell card keeps you in the game. Very clever.”.   Katrina showed her deck to Panther now. “My deck is based on the Light-type attribute. I use Monster cards like Bio Mage and The Agent of Creation- Venus. My Spell cards such as Luminous Spark and Elf’s Light help to power them up, and my Trap cards like Light of Judgment and Ray of Hope give me an extra edge when need be.”, she told her blonde friend.   Panther went through her cards, examining them and making evaluations. “Hmmmm… well, your deck seems to be in balance, kid. I think you’ll survive some tough duels.”, she told her.   Katrina smiled at her friend, thanking her for the compliment. She then headed back towards Joey, sitting beside him on the large plush couch. “So, what do you think we’ll happen when we get to Florida?”, she asked him.   He closed his eyes and replied, “Don’t know for sure, Katrina. All I know is that when we get there, we better find those ruins Professor Hawkins told us about. If there is anyway to beat Dartz, I’m sure that we’ll find the answer there.”.   Katrina snuggled up against him, very glad to have met someone so brave and outgoing. “You know, sugar. You’re taking a big risk here, fighting your former girlfriend and all.”, she told him.   Joey merely shrugged and said, “Its okay, actually. Mai’s made her choice, and I have made up mine. I just hope that when this is over, at least she’ll start the right path this time.”. He then chuckled and admitted sheepishly, “Heh, I guess a little bit of Yugi is rubbing off on me.”.   The two then said nothing, enjoying their company and just letting it all melt away. The captain reported over the loudspeaker, “Attention, passengers. We will be arriving in Orlando, Florida in less then an hour. Please make sure that everything is back into place. That includes the door that Miss Gardner ripped open.”.   Téa smiled bashfully at the last comment, then went to work on setting the door back in place. She was about done, when the jet suddenly did a lurch! “Hey, what’s going on?!”, Rebecca exclaimed.   The captain stated, “We are under attack! I repeat, we are under attack! Six unidentified fliers have surrounded the jet and are attacking!”.   This got everyone into action. Yugi burst from his room, and allowed for Yami to take over. Yami took out a card from his deck and exclaimed, “Time to take this fight outside! I summon the legendary dragon, Timeaus!!”. A yellow glow enveloped the pharaoh, and he was transported outside. He was soon riding the back of the sea-green dragon of legend!   “Wait for me, Yami! No way I’m getting left out! I summon Hermos!”, Joey declared. He was soon transported outside, the brown dragon flying on the left side of the jet while Yami was on the right.   “Hey, you boys aren’t leaving us girls out! I summon Wingweaver!”, Katrina called forth. A shimmer of white light enveloped her, and the Texan beauty was now on the back of a very large angel with six wings. The duo floated near Joey, and the American duelist was all ready to go!   In a few moments, more of their friends emerged to help out with the defense. Téa was riding on the back of LaMoon, Tristen had Garvas, Duke riding shotgun with Firewing Pegasus, Rebecca was on Faith Bird, Tiger rode the back of Cyber-Tech Alligator, Panther was on Crow Goblin, and Lynx was with Beast of Gilfer.   “Come on, now! You think we let you three have all the fun?!”, Duke stated with a smirk.   The group turned and saw behind them that Seto was also getting into the action, flying atop his prized Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Critias next to it. “Man, it must be serious if Seto is also getting into the fight!”, Rebecca commented.   It happened. With little warning, six blurs swooped in and attacked! The group scatted, not getting hit by any of the flying objects. Yami took a good look at one of them, and saw that one was Bandit Keith! He was riding atop his Perfect Machine King monster, wearing the cloaks of the Doom Organization.   “It looks like that jerk Keith joined up with Dartz!”, Joey commented as he saw the crude duelist as well.   The other five were other Machine-type monsters: Big Core, Machine King, Metal Zoa, Launcher Spider, and Barrel Dragon. “Hey, losers! I’m not sorry to rain on your day, but it looks like your trip to Florida is going to be canceled… permanently!”, Bandit Keith shouted in glee.   Yami saw that behind Bandit Keith’s team, he had back-up. Riding atop a familiar red Dark Magician was Arkana, bringing with him five other monsters: Air Eater, Exodia Necross, Vampire Lord, The Illusionary Gentleman, and Slate Warrior. “Hahahahaha!! Its time for your curtain call, Yami! Courtesy of myself, and Dartz!”, the maniacal magician declared in ecstasy.   “Heh, it seems that Bandit Keith isn’t as stupid as he looks.”, Tristen said.   Panther did a scan of the situation, and stated, “Yami, we are outnumbered. There is a very slim chance that we will win!”.   Suddenly, from above, five beings swooped in from the clouds and joined the Duel Crew! It was… Bakura?! Yes, Bakura was here and was riding on King Dragun. “Bakura?!”, Yami and the others who knew him exclaimed in surprise.   Bakura smiled at them all and said, “Hello, everyone. So sorry we are late.”. Beside him were Ishizu, riding on her Dunames Dark Witch. Beside her was her brother Marik, a Dark Blade the Dragon Knight as his choice of transportation. On his right was his adoptive brother Odion, riding on the back of Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6. The last one to surprise them all was Mako Tsunami, his creature of choice being a now flying Fortress Whale.   “Come on now, don’t think you could start this party without us!”, Marik stated with a good-natured smirk.   “Everyone, thank you for coming! It was lucky you all came here when you did.”, Yami told them all.   A voice from above rang out, “Luck has nothing to do with this meeting, Pharaoh. It was Destiny and Fate that brought us here.”. All turned upward to see a shining, fiery monster fly on down fast! The voice belonged to Shadi, and he was now coming in on his fiery Sacred Phoenix of the Nephthys!   “Shadi?! You too?!”, Tristen exclaimed in surprise.   Shadi turned to all, a passive expression on his face. “Yes, my friend. Fate and Destiny told us all to be here. So, here we are. Do not worry, Pharaoh. We will aid you and your friends on this hazardous quest.”, he stated.   Odion inquired, “Yami, who are those three?”. He pointed to Tiger, Panther, and Lynx. The newcomers were also puzzled on who they were.   “Sorry, Odion. But, I can explain later AFTER the battle.”, Yami said before turning back to his enemies.   It was now here! Old friends coming together with new, to battle it out in the skies against two suckered Duelists. It was going to be a prelude to the Battle Royale of all times!   (Author’s Notes: ^_^ Didn’t see this coming, did ya? The gang is all here now, and it seems that things will be more heated up! After the battle, inquires about the marionettes will be explained… and Odion, Marik, Ishizu, Bakura, and even Shadi will be rolling on the ground in laughter after hearing all that has happened.   Darien: So, if you where out there with the others, which monster would you chose to go in and fight against Bandit Keith and Arkana?   R&R, no flames, enjoy, and leave long reviews!)
