olcharlieboiMegan gave a sigh as she was announced to be part of the first duel. It would've been nicer to watch some other people go first. Besides she didn't even know if those was going to be an action duel or just a regular duel.She took one last look at her deck then inserted it into her disk and headed to arena since that was apparently where the duel was. Against someone named Akira hm? Megan took deep breaths as she stepped onto the platform and looked across to where her opponent should be.
Akira grinned at the announcement. Being part of the first duel meant he had to turn up the action before sitting back and watching the others Duel. After saying a quick goodbye to those he was talking to and double checking his deck he walked up to the arena where his opponent stood waiting.
"You must be Megan, I'm Akira its nice to meet you and I hope you do your best inspite of us all getting new decks" he said with a smile.

Turn 1: Megan
Megan 4000 LP: 5 cards
Akira 4000 LP: 5 cards
"Same goes for you, I'm Megan," she said cheerily as she viewed her hand. At least it wasn't an action duel because she wouldn't have had any idea what to do. Of course this wasn't the nicest hand in the world either. If she set her command knight she risked it being destroyed, but she couldn't put it in ATK mode without using her equip card as well. Of course if he had a spell card that could destroy it or just somehow a monster with more attack she would be in big trouble. Reload might give her a better hand but it also might just make things worse. Oh Megan was just overthinking things now. "I'll normal summon my Command Knight in attack mode. Then I'll play Wicked-Breaking Flamberge - Baou, to activate its effect though I'll discard Reload from my hand." A warrior in red amour appeared on the field and its longsword was quickly replaced with a weapon that lived up to its name.
Command Knight: 1200 ATK -> 2100 ATK
"Now between her effect and my equip card she had a total of 2100 ATK, I'll set one card and end my turn." Megan said confidently. Beating 2100 ATK would require him to do some sort of special summon and he didn't have any cards out yet so it should be hard for him to try it. Right?
Turn 2: Akira
Megan 4000 LP: 1 card, 1 monster, 1 equip spell, 1 set s/t
Akira 4000 LP: 6 cards
"All right my turn!" Akira said grinning as he drew his sixth card. "Get ready for an awesome first move." He began. "I'll start by activating Stargazer Magician and Wisdom-Eye Magician to the pendulum zones." He added grinning as his two long haired mages appeared. On either side of him.
"Now I'll activate Wisdom-Eye's pendulum effect. Destroying himself he gets replaced with another magician! Rise up Timegazer Magician!" He called as the black clad mage appeared next to him. "Now from my hand I pendulum summon Odd-Eyes Dragon!" Chuckling as he watches the red strange looking dragon rise from within the card. He knew he could attack and probably should but he wanted to see what Megan was made of.
Turn 3: Megan
Megan 4000 LP: 2 cards, 1 monster, 1 equip spell, 1 set s/t
Akira 4000 LP: 3 cards, 1 monster, 2 pendulum (Scale 1-8)
Megan looked at the field in distress. He already had a 2500 ATK monster out? And from what little she knew of pendulums even if she destroyed it he could bring it right back. She'd need one of the powerhouses in her deck to beat it but she didn't have those right now. It looked like all she could do for the time being was stall. But if Megan normal summoned Dark Blade then he couldn't attack Command Knight for another turn, which just might allow her to get another equip card. Or another monster to stall again. "Alright, I'll normal summon my Dark Blade in attack mode, then end my turn" Megan called out confidently, her actions betraying none of her uncertainty.
Dark Blade: 1800 -> 2200 ATK
Turn 4: Akira
Megan 4000 LP: 1 cards, 2 monsters, 1 equip spell, 1 set s/t
Akira 4000 LP: 4 cards, 1 monster, 2 pendulum (Scale 1-8)
Akira smiled brightly.
"And with Odd-Eyes' effect you also take half the original attack of your monster as damage." He said as he grinned at the situation and started laughing.
"I'm sorry, but I haven't had this much fun since I started playing." He said beaming. "Anyway Odd-Eyes Dragon will attack Dark Blade!" He said sending his dragon forward toward the warrior.
Megan was a little put off by her opponent laughing. Was she really that weak? She was forced to watch helplessly as her monster futily put up his swords, then was destroyed and her LP paid for it between the attack difference and his monster's effect. Hopefully her next draw would remedy the situation
Megan 4000 -> 2800
Akira grinned again and set a card in his spell trap zone.
"Alright with that I'll set one card and end my turn."
Turn 5: Megan
Megan 2800 LP: 2 cards, 1 monsters, 1 equip spell, 1 set
Akira 4000 LP: 3 cards, 1 monster, 1 set s/t, 2 pendulum (Scale 1-8)
Megan barely resisted moaning helplessly at her next card. Still uesless, not even a monster to stall with. Now she was really gonna get her butt handed to her. "I'll change Command Knight to defense mode, set one card, and end my turn." If she could get ROTA or just draw the monster she needed then she could make a come back. That or one of her D.D monsters. Anything!
Command Knight: 1900 DEF
Turn 6: Akira
Megan 2800 LP: 1 cards, 1 monsters, 1 equip spell, 2 set s/t
Akira 4000 LP: 4 cards, 1 monster, 1 set s/t, 2 pendulum (Scale 1-8)
Akira smiled and looked up to Megan.
"Hey now no need for a long face, we're supposed to be having fun up here." he said with a smile drawing his card. "Alright I summon Inari fire in attack mode and my dragon will come in at your Knight!" He said chuckling.
Once again the dragon destroyed her monster easily and she dealt with the aftermath of his effect. Her next draw would determine how this duel would end, she couldn't live another turn at this rate. It'd suck to have her first duel go like this, without even a chance to fight back.
Megan 2800 -> 2200
"Okay that'll be my turn so have at it!" He said waving to Megan trying to cheer her up.
Turn 7: Megan
Megan 2800 LP: 2 cards, 2 set s/t
Akira 4000 LP: 3 cards, 2 monsters, 1 set s/t, 2 pendulum (Scale 1-8)
Megan sighed, "A lot easier to have fun when you're winning." she muttered to herself looking at the next card she'd drawn. Now if she'd just saved her equip spell then everything would've been fine and dandy but she'd had to buff out her Command Knight didn't she? Megan did a bit of math in her head. Lets see, 200 damage from that, then another like 1150 damage from that, and 1500 from that. Yeah she had to summon him or she would lose. On the other hand her opponent had been lax before, so she could try to wait for an equip spell next turn then summon her monster. Argh.
Megan wouldn't rely on someone's else taking pity on her to have a hope of winning. "I'll set one card, then summon Swift Gaia The Fierce Knight from my Hand. Normally he would require a tribute but since I don't have any other cards in my Hand I can summon him normally." The knight on his steed appeared on the field lance at the ready. "Now I'll use him to destroy your Inari Fire!" Megan announced as he rushed at the little fox creature with overwhelming speed.
Akira: 4000 -> 3200
Megan gave an inward sigh of relief, at least she'd done damage. It hadn't been a total curbstomp. "Your move." she said calmly, wondering how much longer it would take her to lose.
Turn 8: Akira
Megan 2800 LP: 0 cards, 1 monsters, 3 set s/t
Akira 4000 LP: 4 cards, 1 monsters, 1 set s/t, 2 pendulum (Scale 1-8)
Akira smiled after drawing his card.
"Now you've got it! Oh yeah time to get fired up!" He said as he drew his card.
"Allright Odd-Eyes attack!" He said smiling.
Another monster destroyed, more LP lost, she had plenty of cards to beat this stupid monster so why couldn't she draw any of them!
Megan: 2800 -> 1450
Turn 9: Megan
Megan 1450 LP: 1 cards, 0 monsters, 3 set s/t
Akira 4000 LP: 4 cards, 1 monsters, 1 set s/t, 2 pendulum (Scale 1-8)
Megan looked at the next card she drew hopelessly. Well that was it, game over. Unless Akira hated winning she'd lost. Whatever. "I'll activate Fairy Of The Spring to return Wicked -Breaking Flamberge - Baou to my hand. Turn end " she said dully, patiently awaiting the finishing blow. Even if she drew another monster and he didn't kill her its not like she could use her flamberge anyway.
Turn 10: Akira
Megan 1450 LP: 1 cards, 0 monsters, 3 set s/t
Akira 4000 LP: 4 cards, 1 monsters, 1 set s/t, 2 pendulum (Scale 1-8)
Akira smiled at the cards in his hand.
"Well its been fun but its time to end this. Rise up Dragonpit Magician!" He cried. As the mage rose from the card. "But he wont be here long because I'm going to overlay my two monsters to Xyz summon Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon!" Akira said laughing as the ice covered dragon appeared before them. "Now Absolute Dragon attack and end this!" He said watching the dragons attack.
Megan 1450 -> 0
Megan 4000 LP: 5 cards
Akira 4000 LP: 5 cards

"Now Absolute Dragon attack and end this!" He said watching the dragons attack.
Megan 1450 -> 0
Megan looked at her opponent with a bit of repressed anger. Pointlessly summoning a bigger monster just because he could to win and laughing all the way. "Good game" she said lifelessly and walked back into the crowds.
Akira smiles and watches Megan leave before bowing to the crowd and racing off hoping to catch up with her and apologize. Racing through the hall and around to the stands searching the crowd looking for her and not seeming to have any luck.
Megan stepped out of the crowd and put a hand on Akira's shoulder as he stepped past her. "Look you won, I lost. That's how duels work. You had some fun. You don't need to comfort me, I'm not some china doll that breaks if you drop it too hard." At least that's what she guessed his intention was given the concerned look on his face. Megan released him and walked away back to the stands. Maybe she could watch some duels and learn a thing or two.
Akira watched as Megan retreated back to the stands and walked off to find his own seat this time eager to learn all he could about his new school mates.

Megan tried to go too ham and got rekted by Akira's first turn 1-8 scale odd eyes summon.
