Tagging Up 9

"Oh, and lookie what I've drawn, just the cards I need to turn this around," Dark Magician Girl cheered, "Check this out cutie, I'll be playing the spell card Dimension Fusion, and what it does, is it lets me pay two thousand life points to make a special little effect come to pass. It allows both players to summon as many monsters from their banished zone as possible."

Another absurd card. And one that was banned back home as well. "I don't have any monsters in the banished zone." Yarden replied with a sigh.

"Oh, I know, good for me cuz I have two," she stuck her tongue out at him and wiggled it. She placed the card on her duel disk, and immediately, above her, a swirling dark portal appeared in the air, "And I'll be using it to summon forth my Berry Magician Girl in attack mode, and none other than me! The Dark Magician Girl in attack mode!"

Twin lights of gold shot out of the portal to appear in front of her, dying away to reveal a small baby girl, a scepter in one hand, and a pacifier in her mouth. And a very beautiful copy of herself.

Dark Magician Girl - Spellcaster/Dark/Level 6/Effect: 2000/1700

Well, there went Luster Dragon. 'Or, it would if it weren't for my trap card.' Yarden made sure not to show the grin he wanted to let out. It was a very specific card he got from Titan's deck and slipped into his own main deck.

If she attacked. This duel was over. He'd finish her off next turn if she did.

"Now, before I go into my battle phase, I need to play the other card I drew with Pot of Greed," Dark Magician Girl stated with a perky smile, "I'm playing the spell card Dark Magic Attack, and it lets my copy blow away all spells and trap cards on your side of the field!"

Wait, what!?

The copy of Dark Magician Girl gave a shout and thrust out her scepter. From it, a massive bolt of dark sparkling energy shot out and slammed into his face down card, destroying it.

And there went Mirror Force.

"What the hell!?" Yarden gaped, "That's not how that card works, Dark Magic Attack only works for the Dark Magician card!" he called bullshit!

Dark Magician Girl gave him a confused blink, "..No it doesn't?" she replied, "I suppose it's fair with how rare my and my teachers cards are. But, as long as a card doesn't refer to me and my master separately, I can use those cards as well. I'm a Dark Magician monster as well after all!"

Bullshit! Utter bullshit! Since when was that a thing? Another anime world change?

Yarden's eyes widened as a thought came to him. No, rather a memory. Of Atem dueling Arkana during Battle City. And him using Dark Magic Curtain, to special summon Dark Magician Girl.

Shit. It hadn't even occurred to him shit like this would be applicable!

"Now that I've enlightened you to my awesomeness, I'll be attacking your Luster Dragon with myself! Go me! Dark Burning, yay!" she continued.

Her copy gave a shout, and this time, fired a massive pink sparking sphere of energy that slammed into Luster Dragon, wiping it from existence.

...Well at least that Berry Magician Girl was so weak. Though, it obviously had some kind of effect that he'd need to be wary of. Especially considering she summoned it in attack mode of all things.

"My turn?" he asked, and when she happily nodded, he drew a card.

He smirked as he saw the card staring back at him. As always, his deck provided when he was in need.

"Alright, I'll be playing the card I just drew, the spell card Revived Serpent Night Dragon!" Yarden stated, "This card lets me choose any one monster on the field and offer it up as tribute to special summon a Serpent Night Dragon from my hand, deck or graveyard, and the monster I'm choosing, is your Dark Magician Girl!"

"Oh no!" Dark Magician Girl grimaced.

The card appeared before Yarden, and moments later her Dark Magician Girl was destroyed and sent to the graveyard, her remains forming into a cloud of ebony dark flame that burst apart to reveal his ace monster.

"Now, I'll be attacking. Winged Dragon attack her Berry Magician!" Yarden ordered.

Winged Dragon Guardian Of The Fortress roared, flames pooling within his maw, before he unleashed it at the tiny little baby magician.

"I activate her effect!" Dark Magician Girl cut in, "When Berry Magician is targeted by a card effect or attack, I can switch her position and then special summon a 'Magician Girl' monster from my deck, and I'm picking another Dark Magician Girl."

As she finished, the flames of Yarden's dragon consumed her monster and wiped it out. But, since it switched to defense position, Dark Magician Girl took no damage. And then, light burst into existence and from it, appeared another Dark Magician Girl.

Only this one was a little different.

Dark Magician Girl - Spellcaster/Dark/Level 6/Effect: 2300/1700

It was three hundred attack points stronger. "So that effect works with Dark Magician Girl's in the graveyard as well huh?" Yarden noted with narrowed eyes. Admittedly, he'd never seen Yugi or Atem use more than one in the original show.

"Yep!" she grinned at him, flashing him a thumbs up.

"Well, whatever, it won't do you any good either way, it only saved you for this turn," Yarden grinned, "I'll attack her with Serpent Night Dragon, go Ebony Flame!"

Serpent Night Dragon nodded and reared back graceful, glittering black embers that seemed to suck in all the light around it pooling in his mouth. Before he unleashed it in a tidal wave of ebony black flame that burnt the second Dark Magician Girl out of existence.

"Well, an extra turn is better than losing." Dark Magician Girl shrugged with a smile.

She did have a point. And who knows what she'd draw next? Better to play on the safe side.

"My turn again then, draw!" Dark Magician girl beamed.

"Ooh, it's a goodie!" DArk Magician Girl cheered, "I play Graceful Charity, this lets me draw three cards, but I have to discard two."

She drew two cards, looked them over, and grinned massively, before depositing two into her graveyard, "Now I'm gonna activate this card here that I kept, I hear it's one you like a lot too," she winked at him, "Go, the spell card Dragon's Mirror!"

Say what now? All she had in her graveyard was spellcasters though!

"With this, I can banish the monsters needed for a dragon type fusion from my graveyard and use them to fusion summon that monster!" she explained, "And I'll be banishing one of the Dark Magician Girls in my graveyard, alongside the Beastking of the Swamps that can be substituted for any one fusion material, that I just discarded with Graceful Charity, to special Summon Me again! Dark Magician Girl The Dragon Knight!"

Oh shit!

A swirling portal opened up above her, and from it, a massive blue scaled dragon shot out, and riding atop it was another copy of the blonde spirit, only this one, was wearing plated armor and carrying a sword!

"And, thanks to me playing Dragon's Mirror, I can activate the effect of Magician's Robe that I sent to my graveyard with Graceful Charity as well," she continued, "Thanks to me activating a spell or trap, I can special summon it to the field in defense position!"

Dark light swirled into existence like a whirlwind and a ghostly glowing blue robe, looking like that of the Dark Magician appeared floating before her.

Magician's Robe - Spellcaster/Dark/Level 2/Effect: 700/2000

"Sadly I don't have any cards in my hand to activate my copy's effect, but she can still take down your Serpent Night Dragon," Dark Magician Girl pumped her fist happily, "Go Dark Dragon Burning!

The dragon opened its mouth and unleashing a massive white hot beam of blinding pink plasma that seared into Yarden's ace monster and blew him away.

"And with that, I end my turn, and I switch to you!" she winked.
