Krissy page 20

"I'll go first," the master says as he draws his sixth card. His cards were black backed making Krissy think at first he had covers over his cards. A purple mist rises up from his hands and seems to burn into each of the cards as he holds them.

'He's taking forever,' Krissy thinks as she watches her opponent mull over his cards, 'I have the Dark Magician Girl, Kuriboh, and Mystical Elf plus swords and Spell binding circle. How can I use these? If I play Mystical Elf first then swords I could summon Dark Magician Girl and…'

"I play Chaos ritual," her opponent says interrupting her thoughts.

'How did he get that so early?' She asks herself as she watches the small display of lights reveals the cauldron. Two long pyres take shape and light with fire as the sacrifices of Masked Beast and an unusual dragon appears. The fire engulfs both of them as the card of duel swords rises unleashing the magician. Krissy gulps as she looks at the black clad warrior a creature she thoughts was only in her deck and her father's. The 2800 attack creature seemed to loom over her as she waits for the master to finish his turn.

"I now play Monster Reborn! To bring back The Dragon of destruction!" The lights fade as a purple mist rises from the duel disk. A fearsome roar shakes the room and feeding the fear ever present in Krissy. It's blood red eyes stare at her as it rises behind it's master, the sheer size nearly breaks the roof as it grows.

Krissy gulps at the new creature feeling as if she has gone up against a god card. She hears it breathe heavily as it's scales scrape against the stone. Her eyes strain to see it due to the black scales it becomes almost invisible. Her heart races and beats louder in her chest, for a few seconds she thinks the whole room can hear it. Sub consciously she grips her fist as she tries to stave off the coming panic attack. Her arm felt limp as the duel disk pulled on it trying to bring it down. Weak kneed and nearly petrified she waits for her opponent to end his turn.

"Since I went first I can't attack," the master smugly says, "therefore I end my turn. It's your move little girl I suggest you make your only move count."

Shaking she draws her next card finding it to be something she can't use yet she places it in her hand. In a desperate move she places one card face down in the trap and magic zone then places a monster in defense. 'I don't know what else to do other than to play these,' she thinks, 'I can only do one more move.'

"The beast will happy to eat the souls of your father, yourself and the Pharaoh," her opponent mocks.

"I play Swords of revealing light!" Krissy cries as the broad swords fall and lock into place. The pure light it gives off reveals to her the dragon she is up against. It's onyx black scales glisten in the light. It's long sapphire fangs drip with spit as it drools over the idea of eating her monsters. The sight of the dragon and it's size causes her to take a few steps back. "B-B-Because s-s-swords i-i-is in play you can't attack f-f-for three turns."

"You're merely stalling but please finish your turn."
