“Yugi, once I take you down, I’ll envelope you in complete darkness!” said Grepher. He disappears and finds him an hour later.

“Hey Yug, who is he?” asked Joey.

“I don’t know,” said Yugi.

“Allow me to introduce myself,” said Grepher. I’m the Dark Grepher.

“Dark Grepher?” asked Joey. Where’s the good Grepher?

“I am also him but fused with the Shadow Realm,” said Grepher. Now let’s duel, Yugi!

“You’re on!” said Yugi.

“Good, I’m going to enjoy this,” said Grepher. I’ll start with 3 Foolish Burial cards. Each lets me send 1 monster from my deck to my Grave so I send 3 DARK monsters. Next, I summon Dark Armed Dragon (2800) in Attack Mode.

“2800 points?” asked Joey. Where’s the sacrifice? I got a feeling that Yugi may be in over his head!

“There is no sacrifice,” said Grepher. All it needs is exactly 3 DARK monsters in my Grave and I can automatically summon it. Next I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (1)

“Alright,” said Yugi. I play Marshmallon (0500) in Defense Mode. Then, I activate Swords of Revealing Light, stalling your monsters for a full 3 of your turns. I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (3)

“I draw,” said Grepher. I discard another DARK monster to play myself, Dark Grepher (1700) in Attack Mode. Next I use Dark Armed Dragon’s effect, which by removing from play a DARK monster in my Grave, I can destroy any card on the field! I remove from play 3 DARK monsters and destroy your field! Yugi’s cards are destroyed. Dark Grepher and Dark Armed Dragon, attack directly! Yugi’s LPs drop to 3500. That ends my turn. (0)

“What do I do?” asked Yugi to himself. If I don’t get a decent draw now then he’ll wipe out my remaining LPs and send me to the Shadow Realm. Heart of the Cards, guide me… I play Card of Sanctity, forcing us both to draw cards until our hands hold 6! Next I summon Watapon (0200) in Defense Mode since a card effect put it into my hand. Then, I use Monster Reborn to summon your Dark Magician of Chaos (2800) in Attack Mode! Next his effect lets me take back Swords of Revealing Light, which I play! Next I tribute Watapon for Summoned Skull (2500) in Attack Mode. Dark Magician of Chaos, attack and destroy his Dark Armed Dragon! Both monsters are destroyed. Summoned Skull, destroy his Dark Grepher! Dark Grepher is destroyed and Grepher’s LPs drop to 7200. I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (0)

“Not bad, kid but you’ll have to do better,” said Grepher. I summon Dark Crusader (1600) in Attack Mode. Next I use his ability, letting me discard 3 DARK monsters to have him gain 1200 ATK! Crusader’s ATK rises to 2800. Then I discard Imprisoned Queen Archfiend to summon another Dark Grepher in Attack Mode. Finally, I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (0)

“I summon Witch of the Black Forest (1200) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. Then I switch Summoned Skull to Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“Not much you can do, is there?” asked Grepher. I play Obsidian Dragon (2100) in Defense Mode,” said Grepher. That ends my turn and that also ends your Swords. Swords is destroyed. (0)

“I activate Pot of Greed for 2 cards,” said Yugi. Then I tribute my Witch and Skull for Buster Blader (2600) in Attack Mode. Since Witch went to my Graveyard, I can add Curse of Dragon to my hand.

“You puny warrior doesn’t stand a chance against Dark Crusader,” said Grepher.

“Better look again,” said Yugi. Buster Blader’s ATK rises to 3100.

“Where did that boost come from?”asked Grepher.

“Buster Blader gains 500 ATK for every Dragon-Type monster on the field and in your Graveyard and your Dark Armed Dragon is a Dragon-Type monster so Buster Blader, destroy his Dark Crusader!

“I activate Hate Buster!” said Grepher. It destroys both monsters and deals you damage equal to your attacking monster! Both monsters are destroyed and Yugi’s LPs drop to 400.

“Yugi!” said Joey and Tea`.

“One more attack and it’s all over!” said Grepher. He laughs.

“I play Cloudian - Ghost Fog (0000) in Defense Mode,” said Adrian. Then I activate Natural Disaster, which deals you 500 damage when at least 1 of your cards is destroyed by a Cloudian monster. Eye of the Typhoon, destroy his face down monster! The face down Big Eye (1200) is flipped to Attack Position and destroyed, reducing Lucien’s LPs to 6000.

“When Big Eye is attacked while face down, I can see the top 5 cards of my deck and rearrange them in any order I desire and put them back on the top of my deck,” said Lucien.

“I set 1 card face down to end my turn,” said Adrian. (0)

“I play my final Mystic Tomato in Attack Mode,” said Lucien. Mystic Tomato, destroy his Nimbusman!

“Nimbusman can’t be destroyed in battle but to give my LPs a boost, I activate Mirage Target!,” said Adrian. By discarding Eye of the Typhoon, I gain 3000 LPs and your attack is negated! I hope this works! His LPs rise to 3200.

“Fine, that isn’t going to matter for I attack with Des Feral Imp!” said Lucien. Nimbusman is not destroyed but Adrian’s LPs drop to 3100. That ends my turn. (0)

“I play my Ghost Fog in Defense Mode,” said Adrian. That ends my turn. (2)

“I tribute my Mystic Tomato for a second Invincible Demise Lord in Attack Mode,” said Lucien. Demise Lord, destroy his Ghost Fog! Ghost Fog is destroyed and Nimbusman’s ATK rises to 4000. How did your Nimbusman get stronger?

“When Ghost Fog is destroyed, he lets me distribute Fog Counters on face up monsters,” said Adrian. I gave 3 to my Nimbusman and 2 to your Demise Lord.

“I switch Des Feral Imp to Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Lucien. (0)

“I play my Sheep Cloud in Defense Mode,” said Adrian. Next I play another Big Summon Cloud to bring back my Eye of the Typhoon! Big Summon Cloud is destroyed and Eye of the Typhoon appears. Eye of the Typhoon, destroy his Demise Lord! Demise Lord is destroyed and Nimbusman’s ATK drops to 3000.

“Come on, do you really think my Demise Lord is gone?” asked Lucien.

“It’s in the Grave, so I’d say so,” said Adrian. Demise Lord reappears. What did you do, Lucien?

“I just activated my Demise Lord’s effect, allowing him to be brought back once with an ATK of 3000,” said Lucien.

“I end my turn,” said Adrian. (1)

“Demise Lord, destroy his Sheep Cloud!” said Lucien. Sheep Cloud is destroyed and 2 Sheep Cloud Tokens appear. That ends my turn. (1)

“Not much of a move,” said Adrian. I play my Poison Cloud in Defense Mode. Eye of the Typhoon, destroy his Demise Lord! Demise Lord is destroyed. Nimbusman, destroy his Des Feral Imp! Des Feral Imp is destroyed. That ends my turn. (2)

“I draw…and end my turn,” said Lucien. (2)

“Nimbusman and Eye of the Typhoon, end this duel!” said Adrian. Lucien’s LPs drop to 0 and Adrian’s Bio-Band activates, causing him to collapse. Meanwhile…

“Yugi, once I take you down, I’ll envelope you in complete darkness!” said Grepher. He disappears and finds him an hour later.

“Hey Yug, who is he?” asked Joey.

“I don’t know,” said Yugi.

“Allow me to introduce myself,” said Grepher. I’m the Dark Grepher.

“Dark Grepher?” asked Joey. Where’s the good Grepher?

“I am also him but fused with the Shadow Realm,” said Grepher. Now let’s duel, Yugi!

“You’re on!” said Yugi.

“2800 points?” asked Joey. Where’s the sacrifice? I got a feeling that Yugi may be in over his head!

Reaper of the Cards (1)

Previously…

“With the reaper on my side, I can’t lose!” said Lucien. He races off and finds Adrian minutes later.

“What, you want to duel me?” asked Adrian.

“That’s right and I’ll win,” said Lucien.

“I play Lucky Cloud, which lets me draw 2 cards if I summon 2 of the same Cloudian monsters,” said Adrian. I play Summon Cloud, allowing me to summon Cloudian - Sheep Cloud (0000) in Defense Mode. Then I summon another Sheep Cloud in Defense Mode and draw twice thanks to Lucky Cloud. Finally, I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (3)

“This duel’s going to end, thanks to the reaper,” said Lucien. I play Slash Draw, which forces me to send cards from the top of my deck to my Grave equal to the total number of cards on the field. Then I can draw 1 card and if it’s another Slash Draw, all cards on the field are destroyed and you take 1000 damage for each card destroyed. He draws. It’s Slash Draw so you take 6000 damage! All cards are destroyed and Adrian’s LPs drop to 2000. Next I summon Des Feral Imp (1600) in Attack Mode. Des Feral Imp, attack directly! Adrian’s LPs drop to 400.That ends my turn. (2)

“I play Big Summon Cloud, which lets me play a Cloudian monster for half my LPs so I bring out Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon (3000) in Attack Mode,” said Adrian. His LPs drop to 200. When Eye of the Typhoon attacks, all monsters except Cloudian monsters change their modes so Eye of the Typhoon, destroy his Des Feral Imp! Des Feral Imp is destroyed. I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (1)

“I summon another Mystic Tomato in Attack Mode,” said Lucien. Then I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (1)

“I play Cloudian - Poison Cloud (1000) in Defense Mode,” said Adrian. Big Summon Cloud is destroyed. Eye of the Typhoon, destroy his Mystic Tomato! Mystic Tomato changes to Defense Mode and is destroyed.

“With Mystic Tomato’s effect, I can play any 1500 ATK or less DARK monster and I choose Invincible Demise Lord (1300) in Attack Mode,” said Lucien.

“He doesn’t scare me,” said Adrian. I end my turn. (1)

“I set 1 monster in Defense Mode,” said Lucien. Demise Lord, destroy his Poison Cloud! Poison Cloud is destroyed. Demise Lord is also destroyed and his LPs drop to 7200. Where’s my monster?

“In the Grave, thanks to Poison Cloud’s effect,” said Adrian. When Poison Cloud is destroyed in battle, it takes out the monster that destroyed it and deals you 800 damage.

“I end my turn,” said Lucien. (1)

“When Big Eye is attacked while face down, I can see the top 5 cards of my deck and rearrange them in any order I desire and put them back on the top of my deck,” said Lucien.

“I set 1 card face down to end my turn,” said Adrian. (0)

“I activate Book of Moon, which puts your Eye of the Typhoon face down in Defense Mode,” said Lucien. Eye of the Typhoon disappears and his card appears.

Invincible Slime (3)

Previously…

“I activate my face down card, another Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Clock Tower ,” said Aster. Clock Tower Prison is destroyed. Since my Clock Tower was destroyed with 4 counters, I can summon Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster (????) in Attack Mode from my deck and his effect lets me bring back Fear Monger and Diamond Dude in Defense Mode! Dreadmaster’s effect also prevents all my Destiny Hero monsters from being destroyed by anything this turn and gets ATK equal to the combined ATK of all other Destiny Hero monsters I control! Dreadmaster’s ATK rises to 2400. Next I play Cyclone Blade, letting me equip it to Dreadmaster, thus allowing me to destroy a Spell or Trap Card at the end of the Damage Step when it attacks! Dreadmaster, attack Multiple Slime! Revival Jam takes on the attack and Jam Defender is destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

“I end my turn,” said Mad Dog drawing his card. (1)

“I play Diamond Dude’s effect,” said Aster. Since it was Destiny Draw, I’ll get to draw twice without any discarding. Next I play Destiny Hero - Captain Tenacious (0800) in Defense Mode. Dreadmaster’s ATK rises to 3200. Dreadmaster, attack directly! Mad Dog’s LPs drop to 4850. With Cyclone Blade’s effect, I destroy your left face down card! The face down Slime Hole is destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

“You pay for hurting me!” said Mad Dog. I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (1)

“Thanks,” said Aster. Now I can use Destiny Draw’s effect and draw twice. Next, I play Dark City, which raises the ATK of attacking Destiny Hero monsters by 1000 if they battle a stronger monster. Then I tribute my Tenacious, Diamond Dude and Fear Monger for Destiny Hero - Plasma (1900) in Attack Mode. Dreadmaster’s ATK drops to 1900. Then I play Destiny Hero - Departed (1000) in Attack Mode. Dreadmaster’s ATK rises to 2900.

“You cheating, you can’t play two monsters in one turn!” said Mad Dog.

“You can if one is a Special Summon, which Plasma is,” said Aster. Plasma, Departed, Plasma and Dreadmaster, end this duel!

“I make the rules round here for I activate Metal Reflect Slime!” said Mad Dog.

“What’s that!?” asked Aster.

“It’s a Trap Card that is treated as a monster with 3000 DEF and is summoned to my field in Defense Mode,” said Mad Dog.

“Guess you don’t know Plasma’s effect,” said Aster. It negates the effects of all Effect Monsters you control and Metal Reflect Slime is treated as an Effect Monster so it is negated! Metal Reflect Slime reverts to a Trap Card. Now my monsters, end this duel! Mad Dog’s LPs drop to 0. Now you see why I’m a pro. He walks away. Elsewhere…

“Man, findin’ Viper is harder than I thought,” said Joey.

“We’ll find him,” said Yugi. He must be around here somewhere. They race off. At Viper’s lair…

“I am around somewhere,” said Viper. I just wait until the time is right to strike. He laughs. Meanwhile…

“With the reaper on my side, I can’t lose!” said Lucien. He races off and finds Adrian minutes later.

“What, you want to duel me?” asked Adrian.

“That’s right and I’ll win,” said Lucien.

“From the looks of the weather, there is a 99% chance of defeat in my favor,” said Adrian.

“I’ll start with Mystic Tomato (1100) in Defense Mode,” said Lucien. Then I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (3)

Invincible Slime (2)

Previously…

“I draw,” said Mad Dog. I end my turn by setting 1 card face down. (0)

“Then I’ll start, with this,” said Aster drawing his card. I play Polymerization to discard Avian and Burstinatrix for Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer (2100) in Attack Mode. However, I’m not done as I use a second Polymerization to send Sparkman in my hand and Elemental Hero Phoenix Enforcer I control to my Grave for Elemental Hero Shining Phoenix Enforcer (2500) in Attack Mode. Plus, for every Elemental Hero monster in my Grave, Shining Phoenix Enforcer gains 300 ATK! Shining Phoenix Enforcer’s ATK rises to 3400. Shining Phoenix Enforcer, destroy his Clone Slime! Clone Slime disappears, Acid Slime appears and is destroyed, reducing Aster’s LPs to 5400. Why did Acid Slime appear and what happened to Clone Slime?

“Simple,” said Mad Dog. When Clone Slime is attacked, I can switch it for another Slime monster in my Graveyard. You may be pro duelist but I better!

“Whatever,” said Aster. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

“I activate Trap Trip,” said Mad Dog. It lets me bring a Trap Card back.

“What, so you want your Virus card back?” asked Aster. That card is of no threat to me as no monsters in my deck are Machines.

“Wait and see,” said Mad Dog. Next I activate my other face down card, DNA Surgery, turning all monsters into Machines! That ends my turn. (0)

“I play Clock Tower Prison, which gets Clock Counters at every one of your Standby Phases,” said Aster. Then, I activate Eternal Dread, instantly adding 2 counters to Clock Tower Prison. That ends my turn. (0)

“I draw,” said Mad Dog.

“Then my Clock get another counter,” said Aster.

“You so mean,” said Mad Dog. I activate my Last Machine Virus card by tributing a Slime Monster Token! A token disappears and Aster’s monsters are destroyed, reducing his LPs to 3900. Next I tribute another token to play a second Multiple Slime in Attack Mode. Multiple Slime, direct attack!

“Sorry but I activate Draining Shield, so I gain LPs equal to your monster’s ATK and your attack is cancelled! His LPs rise to 5400.

“I end my turn,” said Mad Dog. (0)

“Alright, time for destiny to win!” said Aster.

“Nu-uh, I have over 8000 LPs and one monster while you have none, you can’t beat me!” said Mad Dog.

“I’ll figure out a way,” said Aster. I activate Doctor D! By removing from play a Destiny Hero monster, I can Special Summon a Destiny Hero monster from my Grave. I remove my Doom Lord from play to summon Destiny Hero - Disk Commander (0300) in Defense Mode and thanks to his effect, I can draw 2 cards. Disk Commander is destroyed and his LPs drop to 4900. Then I summon Elemental Hero Wildheart (1600) in Defense Mode and he’s not affected by your Virus! I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (0)

“I set 1 card face down to end my turn,” said Mad Dog. (0)

“I end my turn,” said Mad Dog drawing his card. (0)

Previously…

“First I play Destiny Draw, which by discarding Destiny Hero - Malicious, I draw twice,” said Aster.

“Uh-uh, I have a Trap Card,” said Mad Dog. I activate Jammer Slime! By discarding a Slime monster, your Spell Card is cancelled! Destiny Draw is negated. Since I discarded Draw Slime, I draw 1 card.

“I use Doom Lord’s effect, taking Revival on a trip two rounds into the future,” said Aster. Revival Jam disappears. That’ll do. (0)

“It don’t matter that you’re a pro because I strong and I have better cards,” said Mad Dog. I tribute Acid Slime for Multiple Slime (1500) in Attack Mode. Since Acid Slime went to my Grave, you take 800 damage! Aster’s LPs drop to 7200. Multiple Slime, destroy his Doom Lord!

“I activate D - Shield!” said Aster. Doom Lord is put into Defense Mode and no monster can destroy him in battle.

“I activate 1 of my face down cards, Jam Defender so if you attack, I can change the attack to Revival Jam,” said Mad Dog. Then I activate DNA Surgery to make all monsters Machine-Type! This my world and you finished! I end my turn by setting 1 card face down. (1)

“Good for now I use D -Spirit to summon Destiny Hero - Defender (2700) in Defense Mode,” said Aster. Next I tribute my monsters for Destiny Hero - Dogma (3400) in Attack Mode. Plus, I remove my Malicious from play to summon Destiny Hero - Malicious (0800) in Defense Mode. Dogma, take out his Multiple Slime! Multiple Slime is destroyed and Mad Dog’s LPs drop to 6100. That’ll do. (0)

“When Multiple Slime’s destroyed in battle, I get 3 Slime Monster Tokens (0500 x3) in Attack Mode,” said Mad Dog. Three tokens appear. I draw.

“You’re also going to lose half your points courtesy of Dogma’s effect,” said Aster. Mad Dog’s LPs drop to 3050.

“You mean!” said Mad Dog. No matter, I know how to repay you with this, my Last Machine Acid Virus! By tributing a WATER monster, all your Machine-Type monsters are destroyed, this includes your field and hand! Plus, for each Machine-Type monster destroyed, you take 500 damage and this lasts for 3 turns! I tribute a token and knock out all your monsters! A token disappears and Aster’s monsters are destroyed, dropping his LPs to 6200. Next I summon Clone Slime (0000) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“Alright, my draw,” said Aster. First I activate Pot of Greed for 2 cards. Then, I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy DNA Surgery! DNA Surgery is destroyed. Next I use Graceful Charity to pick up another 3 cards by discarding 2. Finally, I summon Destiny Hero - Fear Monger (1000) in Defense Mode and take a break. (0)

“I draw,” said Mad Dog. I end my turn by setting 1 card face down. (0)

“Fine by me,” said Aster. I draw.

“I activate Despised Reality!” said Mad Dog. You can summon a Level 4 or lower monster from your deck but don’t get excited yet for if you do, I can draw 2 cards but if not, I take 1000 damage.

“I must do this carefully,” thought Aster to himself. If I summon, he draws but if not, he takes damage but that leaves me with only one defense. Guess what, I’m not summoning! Mad Dog’s LPs drop to 2050. Now then, I play Destiny Hero - Dunker (1700) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“I play Contingency Fee!” said Mad Dog, You now draw cards until your hand holds 6 and for each card you drew, I gain 1000 LPs! Aster draws and Mad Dog’s LPs rise to 8050. Next I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (0)

“Simple,” said Mad Dog. When Clone Slime is attacked, I can switch it for another Slime monster in my Graveyard. You may be pro duelist but I better!

“Not so fast, I activate Icarus Attack!” said Mai. By tributing a Winged-Beast-Type monster, I can destroy any 2 cards on the field and I choose your Dark Ruler and my Harpie Lady!

“I guess this is au revoir,” said Pierre sadly. He walks away. Elsewhere…
“What exactly is going on, where is everybody?” asked Aster to himself. It looks like a ghost town in here. He sees someone. Who are you?

“I’ve been looking for you,” said Mad Dog. My mommy says I’m da best dere is.

“Prove it,” said Aster. I’ve beaten top duelists like Jaden and Zane, what have you done?

“I’ll defeat you!” said Mad Dog.

“Fine, then let’s go,” said Aster.

“I’m going first,” said Mad Dog. I play Revival Jam (0500) in Defense Mode and set 2 cards to end my turn. Try and beat that! (3)

“No problem,” said Aster. I play Destiny Hero - Doom Lord (0600) in Attack Mode. Doom Lord, send his Revival Jam to another dimension! Revival Jam is not destroyed.

“Ha-ha, Revival Jam can’t be destroyed in battle while in Defense Mode,” said Mad Dog. Now you can’t ever defeat me!

“So what, you think I can’t beat you just because you have a monster who’s indestructible in battle?” asked Aster. I’m a pro duelist and I won’t be afraid of something as weak as that. I set 3 cards face down and end my turn. (1)

“Oh yeah?” asked Mad Dog. Watch this, I play Acid Slime (1000) in Defense Mode. Then I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (2)

“First I play Destiny Draw, which by discarding Destiny Hero - Malicious, I draw twice,” said Aster.

“I use Doom Lord’s effect, taking Revival on a trip two rounds into the future,” said Aster. Revival Jam disappears. That’ll do. (0)

“I activate D - Shield!” said Aster. Doom Lord is put into Defense Mode and no monster can destroy him in battle.

“I end my turn,” said Mad Dog. (2)

“First, your Revival Jam returns,” said Aster. Revival Jam reappears. Then I summon Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (1600) in Defense Mode. Next I use his ability to ditch my top card and if it’s a Normal Spell, its effect activates next turn. He sends the next card of his deck into the Grave. Since I tossed D - Spirit, I get to use its effect next turn and I’ll leave it at that. (0)

“I draw and activate both Dangerous Machine and Needle Wall!” said Pierre. First comes Needle Wall! A die flies through the air and lands. A 2 so your monster gets to stay but not for long as I use Dangerous Machine’s effect! Another die lands. A 3 so I get to draw 1 card!

That ends my turn and since I have more than 1 Spell or Trap Card out, you take 500 damage! Pierre’s LPs drop to 6200. That ends my turn. (0)

“This duel is fini!” said Pierre. I summon Arcana Force 0 - The Fool (0000) in Defense Mode and he has an effect, which I now use and depending on the coin toss result, an effect activates! He flips a coin and it lands. Tails and with this effect, your card effects cannot target him. As an added bonus, he can’t be destroyed in battle. That ends my turn. His LPs drop to 5700. (0)

“Some winning move,” said Mai. I’ve gotta destroy that Arcana Force monster or I can’t get at his LPs. At least I can burn away his LPs with Simorgh but I must destroy his Second Coin Toss card. I activate Mystical Space Typhoon, which destroys your Second Coin Toss! Second Coin Toss is destroyed. That ends my turn. Pierre’s LPs drop to 4700. (0)

“I play Cup of Ace,” said Pierre.

“I’ve never heard of that card,” said Mai.

Maximum Six’s ATK rises to 2900. Next I activate Dangerous Machine - Type 6! Then, you can say au revoir to 2900 of your LPs, mon cherrie as Maximum Six attacks directly!

“Sorry hun but I activate Mirror Wall!” said Mai. As long as I pay 2000 LPs per turn, it halves your monster’s ATK! Maximum Six’s ATK drops to 1450 while Her LPs drop to 6050. You’re gambling with the wrong duelist, lover boy!

“I end my turn,” said Pierre. (0)

“My move,” said Mai.

“I activate Needle Wall,” said Pierre. Now at my Standby Phases, I roll a die and bid adieu to 1 monster you control, depending on the die result. If I get 6, I roll again.

“Doesn’t bother me right now,” said Mai. I pay for Mirror Wall. Her LPs drop to 4050. Then I summon Birdface (1800) in Attack Mode. Finally, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

“I draw and do not pay for Mirror Wall!” said Mai. Mirror Wall is destroyed and Maximum Six’s ATK returns to 2900. Next I activate Grave Arm, which can destroy any monster on the field so say goodbye to your Maximum Six!

“I activate Magic Drain, which negates your card effect unless you discard 1 Spell Card,” said Pierre.

“Oh no, I don’t have any!” said Mai. Grave Arm is negated. Birdface, finish off his Gamble Angel Bunny! Gamble Angel Bunny is destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

“I activate my cards’ effects!” said Pierre. First is Dangerous Machine! A die rolls and stops. A 2 so you lose 1 card from your hand but luckily, you don’t have any. Next I use Needle Wall! Another die drops and lands. A 1, just what I needed to win! Birdface is destroyed. Gamble Angel Bunny and Maximum Six, end this duel!

“I don’t think so,” said Mai. I activate Gravity Bind, which prevents any monster above Level 3 from attacking.

“Magnefique,” said Pierre. Yet I still have 1 move left as I use Gamble Angel Bunny’s effect! He flips a coin. Tails! The coin lands. Heads?! No matter I use Second Coin Toss’ effect! The coin re-flips. Tails! The coin lands. Tails again! Mai’s LPs drop to 3050. That ends my turn. (0)

“I tribute my monsters for Simorgh, Bird of Divinity (2900) in Attack Mode!” said Mai. It’s over!

“Mon Cherrie, prepare to say au revoir,” said Pierre. He races off and finds her an hour later.

“Who are you?” asked Mai.

“Mon nom est Pierre,” said Pierre. I have come to duel for your love.

“What are you talking about?” asked Mai. You hardly seem like someone I’d be interested in!

“Au contraire,” said Pierre. I will change that when I win.

“Nice try, lover boy,” said Mai. I’m not interested.

“Oh no?” asked Pierre. I think you are for I have your Harpie’s Feather Duster card!

“How on earth did you get into my deck?” asked Mai.

“I will only hand it over to you if you win, mon amie,” said Pierre. Now let’s duel!

“With pleasure,” said Mai. I play Cyber Harpie Lady (1800) in Attack Mode. Since she’s treated as Harpie Lady, I use Elegant Egotist to bring out Harpie Lady Sisters (1950) in Attack Mode. Finally, I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (0)

“Awesome, Mai brought two monsters out on her first turn!” said Joey.

“Magnefique,” said Pierre. However, I have a better move as I play Second Coin Toss, letting me re-flip a coin after its result. Then I play Time Wizard (0500) in Attack Mode.

“That monster is too weak to defeat my harpies,” said Mai.

“Au contraire, mon amie,” said Pierre. I use my Wizard’s effect, which will take out a player’s monsters depending on whether or not I correctly call the coin’s face. If I do, you get to say au revoir to your monsters but if not, I bid adieu to my monsters and half of each of their ATKs are dealt to me as damage. I call tails! The coin lands.

“Looks like you lose, lover boy,” said Mai.

“You forget Second Coin Toss,” said Pierre. I use its effect to re-flip the coin. The coin lands again. Tails it is. Mai’s monsters are destroyed. Time Wizard, attack directly! Mai’s LPs drop to 7500. I set 1 card face down and my turn is fini. (3)

“I play Sasuke Samurai #4 (1200) in Attack Mode,” said Pierre. Samurai, attack her Harpie Lady!

“Why are you attacking when my monster’s stronger?” asked Mai.

“When battling a monster, I flip a coin and if I’m correct, your monster is destroyed,” said Pierre. He flips a coin. Heads! The coin lands. Heads it is. Harpie Lady 1 is destroyed. I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (1)

“My move,” said Mai. I summon Harpie Queen (2100) in Attack Mode. Harpie Queen, destroy his Sasuke Samurai!

“I activate my Samurai’s effect!” said Pierre. He flips a coin. Tails! The coin lands. Heads? No matter for I use Second Coin Toss’ effect! He re-flips the coin and it lands. Tails! Harpie Queen is destroyed.

“That’s the second time he’s destroyed one of my monsters,” thought Mai to herself. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)
