The Cheerleader Strikes Back

 

Chapter 16

 

Not All That Bad

 

“As long as Pegasus has all those Spell and Trap cards, I can't hurt him. So I have to find a way around them.” “I'll set this monster in defense mode and end my turn.” Tea said. Pegasus smirked.

“Goodie. It's my turn, and I'll summon `Toon Gemini Elf' (1900, 900). And I'll activate the Spell card `Toon Mask'. Now I can offer my new Toon as a Tribute, then I can Special Summon any Toon from my hand. So please welcome `Blue Eyes Toon Dragon' (3000, 2500)!” The large cartoon beast flew out of Toon World its eyes flashing maniacally. “Now Manga Ryu-Ran, attack her directly again!” The red dragon sneezed and sent the wave of flame at Tea.

 

-Tea: 3600, Pegasus: 8200-

 

“You can do it Tea!” Yugi yelled. Tea shook off the attack and drew.

“I play `Pot of Greed' to draw two cards. Then I activate `Mystical Space Typhoon'! This card destroys your Toon World!” The interstellar whirlwind wrapped around Toon World.

“Come now Tea, have you forgotten about Magic Reflector?” Pegasus scolded. The electric field around Toon World crackled and exploded, destroying the tornado. “My Toon World is safe from your Spell.”

“Maybe for one time, but now that your Magic Reflector's effect has been used up, it can be destroyed! I sacrifice all my monsters to summon `Moisture Creature' (2800, 2900). And since it was summoned with 3 Tributes, all your Spells and Trap are destroyed!” Moisture Creature aimed its laser and opened fire. Pegasus shielded his eye ad Toon World withered and burned. Manga Ryu-Ran and Blue Eyes Toon Dragon screamed in horror as they exploded. “Now Moisture Creature, attack him directly!” The fairy fired again, this time directly at Pegasus.

 

-Tea: 3600, Pegasus: 5400-

 

“Not bad.” Pegasus muttered. “But I don't need my Toons to win!” Pegasus drew, and smiled. “I summon `Magician of Faith' (300, 400).” The weak Spellcaster hovered above her card meditating. Tea frowned.

“You could have used her to get your Toon World back. What are you up to Pegasus?” She demanded.

“I'll show you Tea. I activate `Metamorphosis'. This lets me Tribute my monster to call forth any 1-Star Fusion monster.” Tea smirked.

“1-Star? It can't be very strong then.” She scolded.

“Really? Don't be so sure Tea. I summon my all-mighty `Thousand Eyes Restrict' (0000, 0000).” The monstrous creature loomed over Pegasus' field, its single eye glaring out at Tea. “Now Thousand Eyes Restrict, activate your special ability and absorb her monster!” Thousand Eyes Restrict pulsed and opened a gaping hole under its eye. A large gust of wind swept across the playing field, and Moisture Creature was drawn inward. Tea gaped.

“What did you do to my monster Pegasus?” She cried. As she finished, the outline of a pair of hands and a large head appeared in one of Thousand Eyes Restrict's wings.

“My Thousand Eyes Restrict has the power to absorb one of your monsters, and automatically increase its own power by the absorbed monster.” The monstrosity (2800, 2900) rippled at Pegasus' words. “Thousand Eyes Restrict, attack her Life Points directly!” The eye glowed, and fired a beam of pale red light at Tea. Tea cringed as the beam struck her in the chest.

 

-Tea: 800, Pegasus: 5400-

 

“I'm not out yet.” Tea grated. “I play this monster in defense and end my turn.” Pegasus smirked.

“Alright then. I play `Upstart Goblin'. This lets me draw a card, and it also grants you an extra 1000 Life Points. Now my Restrict, use Moisture Creature's power and attack!” The pale beam fired again, destroying `Magician of Faith' (300, 400).

“My magician's special ability activates, letting me return my Mystical Space Typhoon to my hand.” Tea informed Pegasus. “Now I summon `The Agent of Creation-Venus' (1600, 0000). Then I play `Mystical Space Typhoon' to destroy my Moisture Creature, rendering you helpless! Venus, attack Thousand Eyes Restrict!” The fairy summoned a rainbow beam of light to its palm.

“Activate your second ability my monster!” Pegasus commanded. The wings of Thousand Eyes Restrict wrapped over its shoulders, and the eyes on the wings all burst open, shining out green beams of light on the field. Venus cringed and dropped to her knees, her attack vanishing in a puff of smoke. “My Thousand Eyes Restrict has the power of the Mesmeric Gaze, which prevents any monster other then the Restrict itself from attacking.” Tea growled.

“Then I'll end my turn.” She muttered. Pegasus smiled.

“Okay then, it's my turn. I don't have any other monsters, but as long as I have my Restrict, I don't need anymore. Thousand Eyes Restrict, absorb Venus!” The creature created another whirlwind and pulled the fairy in. “Now then, attack her directly!” Restrict (1600, 0000) charged up and fired its beam of light at Tea screamed and fell to her knees.

 

-Tea: 200, Pegasus: 5400-

 

“You've been doing well Tea, but even I can't think of a way you could win this one.” Pegasus said sadly. Such a shame. But oh well.

“I'll win yet Pegasus, don't you worry about that.” Tea replied, climbing to her feet. “I play `Pot of Aravice', which lets me shuffle five monsters in my Graveyard into my deck, then I can draw 2 cards. Then I'll play `Monster Reborn' to revive my `Hysteric Fairy' (1800, 600). Then I'll set this down to end my turn.” Pegasus smirked.

“Alright then Tea. Thousand Eyes Restrict, attack the Hysteric Fairy!” The creature summoned the red beam of light.

“What are you thinking Pegasus?” Tea asked. “Your monster has only 1600 attack points, you can't beat my monster!”

“True, but I'm one step ahead of you Tea.” Pegasus chuckled. “You see, whenever my Thousand Eyes Restrict would be destroyed in battle, it's the monster he's absorbed that gets destroyed instead. Not only that, but the damage I would take is redirected to you. So once I attack, you'll take the 200 points of damage!” The red beam fired, and Hysteric Fairy fired a counter beam. The blue beam lanced through the red one and zoomed towards Thousand Eyes Restrict, exploding in a cloud of smoke. “Game over Tea!” Pegasus yelled.

”Really? You might want to look again Pegasus.” Tea said, smiling. The smoke cleared, and the blue counter-attack was frozen no less than an inch from impact.

“What? What's going on, why didn't the attack complete?” Pegasus demanded.

“No offense Pegasus, but I've never once trusted you, and I wasn't about to start.” Tea said. “I figured you had one last trick up your Toon-loving sleeve, so I was ready with my trap card `Last Turn'. It activates before my counter-attack can complete, and destroys all the cards in our hands and the field except for my Hysteric Fairy.” Thousand Eyes Restrict shattered, and the blue beam struck empty air. “Now you have to choose one monster from your deck to perform the final attack of the duel.” Tea took a breath. And if Pegasus has built his deck like I think he has…

“No! This can't be!” Pegasus cried.

“I knew it!” Tea cheered. “You stacked your deck with Toon monsters! And you can't summon any Toons without Toon World, which means you can't summon anything. So I win by default Pegasus!” Pegasus blinked.

“She did it…she really did it…” He murmured as the dueling podiums powered down. Tea's jaw dropped.

“Why so surprised?” She demanded, holding her hands on her hips. Pegasus shook his head.

“I had heard you were good, but I didn't think you would win.” He admitted. “But a deal's a deal. Congratulations.” Pegasus crossed the balcony and held out his hand. “Welcome to the company Tea.” Tea smiled and shook his hand.

“It's an honor Pegasus.” She said truthfully. Pegasus nodded.

“Oh, and there's something else I think you should have.” He reached into his suit and pulled out two cards. “I think these might come in handy.” He handed the cards to Tea, who looked them over.

“Huh? I've never seen those cards before.” Joey muttered, looking over Tea's shoulder.

“I know. They're from the latest set that hasn't come to stores yet. But I think Tea needs them now.” Tea slipped the two cards into her deck. “Anyway, I have the contracts ready, so come inside and we'll sign them.” Pegasus said. He walked back into his office. Tea smiled again.

“You know.” She said to Yugi. “Maybe he's not all that bad.”
