36 Tagging Up 10

She had a wall in defense mode. And she had a powerful twenty six hundred beat stick that could destroy any card on the field just by discarding one.

One card alone probably wasn't going to cut it here.

'C'mon!' Yarden hyped himself and his deck up and drew a card, with baited breath. His smirk returned when he saw what it was, "Alright! Just what I needed. I'll be playing Pot of Greed!"

As he played the card, the all too familiar grinning green pot monster appeared before him, and he drew two more cards. And he laughed as he saw what he drew, "And, now I'll be playing Pot of Greed again to draw two more cards!" Yarden smugly declared, repeating his previous action and drawing two more cards.

Dark Magician Girl cupped a hand around her mouth as she burst into giggles, "My, you really are greedy aren't you? And so shamelessly upfront about it."

"I am who I am, and I don't see any point hiding who I am," Yarden shrugged, what was the point of hiding who you were and being a total faker? To fit in? Fuck that, no thanks! "And now, let's see how you like this. I'll be playing the spell card Future Fusion to send the Divine Dragon Ragnarok and Lord of D from my deck to the graveyard, which allows me to fusion summon King Dragun!"

He'd learned something interesting not long ago. He hadn't even bothered looking at the card text for Future Fusion, assuming it would be the same one he was used to. But no, the version he had was actually a bit different. Instead of having to wait two turns, it brought the fusion summoned monster to the field instantly. But it could not attack on the turn it was first summoned with Future Fusion.

Nobody had called him out on it before though when he used it then used Dragon Mirror. Because, why would they? At that time, he could have had two Five Headed Dragon's on the field, and he didn't, because he didn't read the card text.

Well, he at least knew now.

A prismatic swirl of blue light swirled around the air above his head as he played the card. Lord of D and Divine Dragon Ragnarok appearing above him, before getting sucked inside and disappearing. A moment later, their fused form appeared, the torso of Lord of D, a man in dragon bone armor, with the lower half of a huge golden serpentine dragon.

King Dragun - Dragon/Dark/Level 7/Fusion/Effect: 2400/1100

"But I'm not done there, and I'll be using his effect. Once per turn, I can special summon one dragon type monster from my hand to the field," Yarden continued, "And I'll be bringing out my Hyozanryu, in Attack Position!"

A flash of light signaled the arrival of the diamond scaled dragon in front of him, huge glittering diamond wings crossed over his body defensively.

Hyozanryu - Dragon/Light/Level 7/Normal: 2100/2800

"Now battle, I'll be attacking your Magician's Robe with Hyozanryu!" Yarden followed up quickly, pointing at her ghostly robed monster.

Hyozanryu grinned broadly, showing off rows of sharp golden teeth. White flames pooled in the diamond dragon spirits mouth and he gave a roar as he unleashed them in a white hot wave that seared the ghostly robes out of existence.

"Since I summoned Magician's Robe with its effect, it gets banished after leaving the field." Dark Magician Girl helpfully informed,

"Good to know," Yarden nodded, "And I'll be finishing my turn by playing one card face down."

Now, it all just depended on what she drew next. It was a risk. But high risk, was high reward.

"Hehe, you're actually really good you know? Every turn you've made incredible plays, like this one, you had nothing on your field, and now you have two powerful dragons," Dark Magician Girl chirped, "You really know how to play your cards. And your deck is really eager to give you whatever you want or think you need. I can tell how much love you've given your cards."

"It's easy to do so when your deck is the best of the best," Yarden couldn't stop his chest from puffing out proudly and the proud smirk from spreading across his face. There may in fact be a good reason why Serpent Night Dragon was the one he considered his ace. They were actually, quite similar, "But don't worry, I'll make sure to give you just as much love when I win." he winked.

"Oh I don't doubt you'd love to give me some 'loving'," she winked back with another giggle, "But, let's see you win first before you boast, kay?"

Wait, how'd she know that!? Did Serpent Night Dragon blab?

'She wished to know what you were like as a person before she would commit to meeting you master, I was merely being truthful in that beyond her power and usefulness, you were most likely very attracted to her.' Serpent Night Dragon replied within his mind.

Well, good on him Yarden supposed. He couldn't really give him into trouble either, because he accomplished the goal right? He wasn't sure how to feel about Dark Magician Girl being told by a dragon he wanted to fuck her. That was just so weird to picture.

'Look on the bright side Yarden, at least she took it well.' Petit Dragon snorted.

Well, there was that at least, he supposed.

A musical giggle resounded in his ears, 'Don't worry Master, Dark Magician Girl knows the image she presents, she won't be at all offended by something as natural as that,' Dreamsprite reassured him, 'Besides, Master's the best! Just keep up what you're doing and it'll work out!'

His lips tugged back up into a smirk at the encourage and he shot it towards Dark Magician Girl, "Then come at us already, and then I'll boast once I win." he replied.

"You don't lack in confidence at least," Dark Magician Girl replied, amused, "Alright then, I think it's time to get rid of your dragons. I'm gonna activate my Dark Magician Girl The Dragon Knight's effect, and by discarding 1 card from my hand to the graveyard, I can destroy one face up card on the field, and I'll be choosing your King Dragun!"

"How about no?" Yarden countered, "Because, King Dragun has a cool little effect. While he's on the field, you can't target any of my dragon monsters with card effects."

Dark Magician Girl pouted, before smiling brightly again, "Alright, if that's the way you want to play, I'll just activate the quick play effect of the card in my hand instead then," she right herself, "By sending Aleister The Invoker from my hand to the graveyard, I can boost one fusion monsters attack and defense by one thousand points until the end of the turn!"

The busty blonde duel spirit discarded the card in her hand, and as she did, a powerful white aura surged into existence around Dark Magician Girl The Dragon Knight.

Dark Magician Girl The Dragon Knight - Dragon/Dark/Level 7/Fusion/Effect: 3600/2700

God damnit! Yarden cursed inwardly. If only that monster's effect only rose the attack points! Now his trap was useless this turn!

"Now, I'll be attacking Hyozanryu with my dragon riding self! Go Dark Dragon Burning!" Dark Magician Girl ordered.

Her monster unleashed a massive beam of flaming pink energy that slammed into Hyozanryu. The diamond dragon huffed out a growl of annoyance, before bursting apart and getting sent to the graveyard.

Dark Magician Girl: 1250 LP

"Looks like I'm back in the lead, teehee!" Dark Magician Girl mused, "Anyway, turn end, and now that it has, my monsters attack and defense points go back to normal!"

Dark Magician Girl The Dragon Knight - Dragon/Dark/Level 7/Fusion/Effect: 2600/1700

Damnit. This was by far the lowest his life points had reached since he got here. Not one person had challenged him like this at all. It was a constant back and forth.

But. Yarden's smirk didn't leave him at all. This Aleister The Invoker, a card he'd never heard about until now, it was only a tiny little step back.

He just needed to draw one decent card, and this duel was his."This'll be the last turn." he promised and believed.

His deck wouldn't let him down.

"Oh?" Dark Magician Girl hummed in interest, "You're gonna win this turn? Color me interested, let's see what you've got."

"Draw!" he shouted, and drew his card.

Return Of Dragon Lords.

Perfect. He'd won!

"I play the spell card, Return Of Dragon Lords!" Yarden gleefully said, "By using this, I can resurrect one dragon type monster of level seven or eight from my graveyard and bring them back to my field. Revive, Hyozanryu, in attack mode!"

Hyonzaryu reappeared with a roar, giant diamond wings flared out proudly and golden horn gleaming.

Hyozanryu - Dragon/Light/Level 7/Normal: 2100/2800

"Err, what good will he do? He's weaker than my monster." Dark Magician Girl asked with a cute tilt of her head, looking lost.

"Oh trust me, he's perfect for this, because I'm activating my face down card!" Yarden replied, and his face down trap card swung open, displaying the image of a massive dragon, a massive gout of flame shooting from its maw "Burst Breath! This trap card allows me to sacrifice one dragon type monster on my side of the field, and by doing so, all other monsters on the field with less defense points than its attack, are destroyed. And I choose King Dragun!"

"B-but wait, you said King Dragun can't be targeted for card effects!" Dark Magician Girl spluttered.

"Only my opponent!" he countered with a laugh.

King Dragun detonated in a massive explosion, and Dark Magician Girl The Dragon Knight gave a startled squeal as it swept over her and her mount, wiping them from existence.

While Hyonzaryu with big and beefy twenty eight hundred defense points, was completely unaffected.

"And now, you have nothing left on the field to stop me from attacking!" Yarden continued, punching his fist out towards her in excitement, "Go Hyozanryu, finish her off with Diamond Blaze!"

"Right!" Hyozanryu laughed proudly and fired off the glittering white hot flames from before out of his maw. They washed over Dark Magician Girl and she slumped to her knees in a bit of a daze as her life points dropped alongside her to a grand total of zero.

Yarden Odhar: 550 LP

Dark Magician Girl: 0 LP

"And that's game." Yarden smirked at her, crossing his arms.
