A Promice Duel: Mahado Vs. Rebecca (open)

[Mahado Darkstar]

It was already in the middle of the afternoon, the sun was setting off in the depths of the ocean waters, as Mahado walked up to the Slifer Red Dorms. It has been a long while since Mahado came to Duel Academy, but he had made alot of friends on the path to being a good duelist. After the class, he had made a promice to a Ra Yellow girl, Rebecca (but usually is called 'Becky' for short), and was up for the challange that he had made to her.

Mahado carried his backpack on his shoulders, with all of his gear and dueling deck for the upcoming duel. Once he arrives to the front of the Slifer Dorms, he sees that he's the only one there for the time being. "Hum...I wonder if Im early." Mahado thought as he scratched his head and sets his backpack down. He pulls out his Duel Disk and deck, as he sets himself up for the upcoming duel. "Heh...Its been a while since I dueled....I wonder how good I can do." He says as he looks around and takes a good look to see if she was on her way.

(can i duel u instead?)

[Mahado Darkstar]

(I suppose you can.)

[Saga Aoi]

Skipping up to the dorms with her messenger bag at her side, Saga smiled, waving "Hey, Mahado~"

She rushed up to meet him and smiled, leaning against the pillar, looking to him with a grin "So, who do you think might win?"

[Rebecca Briallen]

A few minutes after Saga, Becky could be spotted in the distance, sprinting towards the Red Dorm in a hurry. Once she reached talking distance, she shouted out towards the small group waiting for her, "I'm sorry I'm late! I had to stay after in one of my classes, and I lost track of the time! You know, microscopes and all, so fascinating~ Hehehehe~~" Her laugh was clearly a nervous one, as she hated being late for anything.

She quickly tossed her bag down, fishing out her Duel Disk and deck, readying herself as quickly as she could for the game, trying to make light conversation meanwhile so as not to seem so unprepared, "So.. have you guys been waiting long?"

[Saga Aoi]

"Not really. I just got here," Saga said, smiling at Becky and stepping aside, sitting down on a nearby benh to watch the duel, pulling out a little notepa and ready to write down the duel history once it began so sshe an go collet her bets she took from other Osiris and Ra students, snickering cutely to herself.

[Mahado Darkstar]

Mahado sees that Saga comes first into the area as he waves to her. "I see you came. I thought Becky would show up first though." He says as he rubbed his head. Mahado had no idea what to expect in this duel, as he just asked her out of the blue. However he wasnt one to let a challange go by him, as he was eger to see how strong her deck was.

At that moment though, he sees his opponent come into the area, as he smiled over to the Ra Yellow girl. "Well...I see you came." Mahado calls out to her as he had his duel disk at the ready. "Dont worry about it though...we've got all the time in the world. So lets get this game started then, shall we?"

[Rebecca Briallen]

Becky gave another slightly nervous giggle and nodded, rubbing the back of her head in embarassment, "Well, since I was the last one to get here, you can choose who goes first."

Becky quickly shuffled her deck as she awaited Mahado's answer, wanting to make sure she doesn't get stuck with a bad hand as she had recently sorted her deck out to adjust it, something she very often did.

"I'm ready whenever you are!" Becky shouted out in a cheerful voice, ready to have a fun and exciting game.

[Mahado Darkstar]

Mahado knew a few stradegies are in order...but being a gentleman, he decided it was best for Rebecca. As he draws his starting hand, Mahado looks over to her as he grins. "I would want to start things off...but I perfer 'ladies first' over everything. So you go ahead and make the first move Becky-san." Mahado says as he holds onto his 5 card hand.

[Rebecca Briallen]

Becky nodded with a smile, quickly drawing her five cards and looking through them before beginning the first turn.

"Okay, then! Card draw!" She shouted out in a cute voice, quickly pulling the top card from her deck and adding it to her hand.

"First, I will play a Field! Gear Town!" She quickly slid the field into her disk, watching as mechanical towers began to grow across the play area. "The effect states that all my Ancient Gear Monsters can be summoned with one less Tribute, and if it's destroyed I get to Special Summon one Ancient Gear Monster from my hand, deck, or graveyard!"

Becky wasted no time in continuing since it was the first turn, sliding a card face-up into her Magic/Trap Zone, "Next I'll play Ancient Gear Castle! As long as this card is out, my Ancient Gear monsters gain 300 attack, and each time we summon or set a monster, it gains a counter to help me summon a high-level Ancient Gear!"

Becky looked back to her hand, pulling a card from it and laying it out on her disk face-up, "Now I'll summon a Monster! Ancient Gear Knight!" She grinned as out from the castle marched an antique-looking tin-man, holding a gear-shaped shield high and a rusty spear out and ready to attack. [1800/500]

"It doesn't have an effect for now, but.. that'll change soon enough!" Becky smiled mischeviously as she glanced back to her hand, considering her options before finally resolving that she had done enough for her first turn.

"That's all I will do, Mahado-san. Turn end! Go ahead~!" Becky pointed to Mahado as she continued to smile, excitedly waiting to see what Mahado would do next.

LP: 8000
Hand: 3
Monsters: Ancient Gear Knight [Earth/Machine-Gemini/4/1800/500]
Magic/Traps: Gear Town (Field), Ancient Gear Castle (1 Counter)

[Mahado Darkstar]

This was definatly going to be an intresting duel. From the looks of it, Becky was a Ancient Gear Duelist...judging from the cards and monsters that she had on the field. Knowing little about how the Ancient Gear Monsters worked, Mahado had to be extra careful on his stradegy as he smiled.

"I could tell this will be a very intresting duel...My draw!" Mahado draws a card from his deck as he looks to his hand.

"Ok! I summon out Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode! (ATK 1900)" Mahado calls out as he sets the card onto the Duel Disk. The magician appears out into the field as his body was covered up in a mages robe. "With the Skilled Dark Magician out, when either of us plays a Spell Card, my magician will get a 'Spell Token', and if he gets 3 tokens, I can summon out the Dark Magician....just to give you a heads up." Mahado says as he goes to his hand.

"Now, I play two cards face down on the field, and have my Skilled Dark Magician attack your Ancient Gear Soldier!" With this said, the mage conjours up a magic blast and fires it right at the gear soldier.

[Rebecca Briallen]

"Ah-ah! Not Soldier! Knight! And because of Ancient Gear Castle, he's a 2100. Sooo.. you sure you want to do that?" Becky grinned widely, folding her arms over and awaiting his answer, smiling very confidently.

[Mahado Darkstar]

"Heh...Just wait and see. I know what Im doing." Mahado says as his Skilled Dark Magician runs up to the Soldier and tried to attack it...but is destroyed himself as he loses 200 LP.

"Nugh!" Mahado's LP goes down a bit as he sighs a bit. "That was painful, but its all good. I'll end my turn right there."

Becky raised an eyebrow as she watched him suicide his monster into hers, staring at the field for a moment before slowly drawing her card, "Okay, I guess. . . My turn, card draw!"

She checked back and fourth through the cards in her hands, considering her options carefully before deciding on just what to do.

"Well.. first thing's first. I will summon my Ancient Gear Knight once more, activating his Gemini effect! Now whenever he attacks, you cannot activate any Magic or Trap cards in response! Do you have anything to respond with?" Becky spoke loudly across the field, smiling confidently once more as she held her hand high and stared straight at her opponent.
