I think I'll draw the line at the Shaddolls. Frankly speaking, they are annoyingly powerful, and it'd be a hassle dealing with that.
As for the Fluffals.... Hmm...
Normally I'd also draw a line at those kinds of cards that we don't know if they have duplicates of.... But considering your character's history, I think I'll be willing to let it go just this once. I like Fluffals. Played with an older deck at one time, so I'm not too familiar with all the support that came out later on, but I'll accept it. Post your character sheet in the character page, minus the Shaddoll thing, and you're good to go.
"Draw!" Megumi said, drawing her next card. Things were not looking very well at all. Megumi was in a desperate pinch, and it would take a miracle to save her from it. She looked at her hand, wondering what she could use. "I use the effect of my 'Card Trader'! I can shuffle one card in hand back into my Deck, then draw 1 card!" Megumi declared, performing the action she just described.
"Ha! that's perfectly fine! Your Trap activates my monster's effect! When you activate a card, or use an effect you lose five hundred of your Life Points! Go, 'Flare Metal Dragon'!"
Megumi had not been expecting that at all, and took a blast of 500 points of damage. She would have to be more careful, considering how low she already was.
"Don't worry little Megumi! Just one more mistake and you'll lose!" Cécile began to laugh a bit darkly at Megumi's predicament.
Megumi looked at her hand, looking for a way to at least survive the next turn. Fortunately, she probably had one, especially with that new draw. "I Set one monster, then banish a Spell card from my Graveyard to Special Summon my 'Spell Striker'!" Megumi said, a facedown card and a small viking-like creature appeared on the field.
Spell Striker: ATK 600
"'Spell Striker' can attack directly! Go, strike the she-devil down!" Megumi commanded, and 'Spell Striker' obeyed, dashing past the metallic dragon to hit Cécile with his stick.
Cécile frowned as she was whacked, putting up an arm to defend herself. "If that's all you got then this Duel ends next turn...It's a pity Alexander invests as much time in you as he does, because clearly there are no results!"
Megumi was instantly riled up. "How dare you! I'll have you know-" Megumi was then interrupted by Alexander from the sidelines, "Megumi, concentrate on the Duel. You won't win if you keep getting affected by her taunts." Megumi wanted to say something more, but she knew Alexander was right, and merely said, "Turn End."
"Now then I'll draw, and then let's see what fun way's I can torture you!" Cécile giggled slightly. "First off we'll just have a little fun here and take one overlay off of my 'Flare Metal Dragon' to summon the 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' that just hit the grave from removing the overlay." The 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' once more appeared on the field. "Now then, my 'Black Dragon', give her 'Spell Stryker' a taste of your Inferno Blast!"
Megumi braced herself for the attack as it struck the miniature warrior and destroyed it. After the attack ended, Megumi said, "Because of 'Spell Stryker's' effect, I take zero Battle Damage!" With that, she smiled, knowing she got through one attack.
"Now 'Flare Metal Dragon' destroy her last monster!"
Megumi braced heerself for the second attack, having been expecting it, and was waiting for that moment. Megumi's smile did not waver as she explained, "Now I activate the effect of the monster you destroyed: 'Nimble Momonga'! I'll take 500 damage from 'Flare Metal Dragon', but I'll also gain 1000 Life Points, and Special Summon two more 'Nimble Momongas' from my Deck in facedown Defense mode!"
After the facedown card was destroyed, two more took their place, and Megumi's Life Points rose by 500.
I hope you're not planning on hiding behind too many things, I'd have to cry for the lost time..." Cécile placed a card facedown on the field and shook her head ending her turn.
Megumi hesitated a bit before drawing her next card. This would be her last turn if she didn't draw a good card.
Once more Cécile laughed at Megumi. "I hope that nexxt card saves you, or else you only lose again, really Megumi, can you at least try and give me a challenge?"
"Draw!" Megumi said, drawing her next card. When she looked at it, her eyes widened slightly. Her ace monster had shown up. Problem was, she didn't have the means to Summon it, and she still needed to face those two dragons. No, wait... Megumi looked at her other card. If everything went according to plan, it would be a great turnaround. Taking a card from her hand, Megumi declared, "I Summon 'Cosmic Compass' in Defense mode!" An odd piece of machinery then appeared on the field.
Cosmic Compass: DEF 300
"When this card is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a number of 'Cosmic Tokens', up to the number of monsters my opponent controls!" Megumi explained, two more identical-looking pieces of machinery appearing. A bolt of fire then shot out of 'Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon's' mouth and struck Megumi, dealing 500 more points of damage.
Cécile giggled some more. "Hey, Megumi, next time we Duel, leave the amatuer stuff at the door please..."
Megumi endured the blast, for it would be the last. Recovering, Megumi declared triumphantly, "I now Tribute my 'Cosmic Compass' and my two 'Cosmic Tokens' to Summon my new monster!" Megumi then began to chant, "Strike fear into your foes, and let none oppose you! Take their power and use it as your own! Arise, 'Destiny HERO - Plasma'!" The purple-armored man rose from the ground and spread his leathery wings, ready for battle.
Destiny HERO - Plasma: ATK 1900
Cécile smiled. "Hey, maybe you are actually a second rate duelist! You can pull off decent moves every now and then!"
Megumi smiled, but her heart was pounding. She was nervous, now that her favorite monster was finally out and about. She just needed to make sure she didn't slip up. "I activate the effect of 'Plasma'! I can absorb one of your monsters, and add half its ATK points to 'Plasma's'
Cécile smirked. "Choose wisely then..." The look on Cécile's face made it very clear she had something planned.
Megumi hesitated, seeing Cécile unaffected by the presence of her monster, but pulled herself together. "I choose your 'Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon'!" Megumi declared, and 'Plasma's' wings began sucking in the Xyz dragon, which struggled for a second before ultimately being absorbed into his wings.
Destiny HERO - Plasma: ATK 1900 --> ATK 3300
Cécile smirked once more. "Well that sends the overlay to my Graveyard so that's perfectly fine..." Her confidence was unwavering and her eyes easily backed it up with the intensity that shown in them.
Megumi hesitated further, debating whether or not to attack. Right now, it seemed like Megumi now had the upper hand, but she was also concerned about that facedown card. 'Plasma' was a strong monster, but even it had limits to its power. Megumi had learned the hard way just how devastating facedown cards could be. "T-Turn End!" Megumi said, not taking the chance.
"Well if you're sure..." Cécile teased. "Now I'll draw." Cécile looked at her card and smiled sympathetically at Megumi. "You know, it was a nice idea. I'm guessing 'Plasma' also negates effects? Since, after all it's the only different card, and of course you activated its effect and my dragon didn't end you. Too bad it still won't save you...I'll simply keep this card in my hand and then activate my 'Black Stone of Legend' from the Grave, this allows me to put my 'Red-Eyes' in the Grave back into my Deck and add the 'Black Stone' back to my hand. Now that that's settled I'm going to humiliate your new monster! I Summon my 'Black Stone of Legend' in Attack mode! Then I'll play this..."
Cécile revealed the 'Moon Mirror Shield' in her hand. "Now I'll equip it to my 'Black Stone of Legend'. Now then, 'Black Stone of Legend' Destroy her 'Destiny HERO - Plasma'!"
"No!" Megumi cried out as a mere stone went and destroyed her strongest monster in one blow.
Megumi: 1000 LP --> 900 LP
Cécile laughed uncontrollably. All the stone did was shimmer and the best card Megumi had played shattered instantly. "Wow Megumi, what was I thinking! I called you second rate, but losing your monster in such a manner, and to such a petty monster...That's just sad..." She sad this last part more harshly as well as her follow up. "Now 'Red-Eyes', destroy one of her other creatures!"
Megumi braced herself for the attack as it destroyed her second facedown 'Nimble Momonga'. "I still gain 1000 Life Points!" Megumi said, her Life Points rising up.
Megumi: 900 LP --> 1900 LP
"It won't matter, after your next turn, you lose!" Cécile had become so cold and so harsh in her words, holding complete confidence and reminding Megumi just how inferior she was compared to Cécile.
Megumi drew her next card, her morale now low. She never imagined something so humiliating to happen, and now she needed to recover from it before the Duel ended. Megumi took a moment to look at her card, then said, "I use 'Card Trader's' effect to shuffle one card back into my Deck and draw." Redrawing her next card, she decided that this would have to do. "I play the Spell Card: 'Swords of Revealing Light'!" Megumi declared, swords made of pure energy suddenly appearing and surrounding Cécile and her monsters. "Turn End," Megumi said.
Cécile shook her head. "A valiant effort, but I told you I would win this turn." Cécile drew her card and then grabbed the other one in her hand. "Now I activate this Spell card," Cécile played the card revealing a fairly common and well known card. "My 'Mystical Space Typhoon', to destroy your 'Swords'."
Megumi watched in dismay as the 'Swords' were blown apart by a strong wind.
"Now I Summon my 'Delta Flyer' to the field, though he won't be staying long. Next I'll finally give you the honor of facing my Ace. I now Synchro Summon using my 'Delta Flyer' and my 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' to special summon my 'Trident Dragion'!" Cécile raised her hand firmly and confidently as her mighty dragon was Summoned to the field with three rageful roars shaking the field more then her 'Flare Metal Dragon' had earlier.
"Now tremble in fear, Megumi! I activate 'Trident Dragion's' effect, which allows me to sacrifce my 'Moon Mirror' and also my 'Black Stone', each one giving my Dragon an extra attack, and with that, 'Trident Dragion', Wipe out her monster and then go straight for her Life Points!"
Megumi braced herself for the attacks, the first destroying her last 'Nimble Momonga'. While she regained 1000 Life Points, it wouldn't be enough to survive the next attack, which wiped out the remainder of her Life Points.
Megumi: LP 2900 --> LP 0
"And that's the match," Alexander said, slowly clapping while walking over to Megumi.
Cécile giggled cheerfully again. "Well, looks like I win again Megumi." She said it so pleasantly and it held none of the harshness she'd had before, whether or not Megumi would find this insulting didn't matter to Cécile. She had fun with it, plus it was always nice to Summon her 'Trident Dragion', even if Megumi wasn't really worth the use of her ace monster.
Megumi remained sitting down on the ground, feeling frustrated over how little she was able to accomplish in that Duel. In the end, Cécile ran circles around her while she could do nothing. Then a hand entered her field of view. Megumi looked up to see Alexander offering to help her up. "Don't feel too bad, Megumi," Alexander consoled her. "Your deck isn't anywhere near perfect yet. All it needs is some consistency and balancing, and it should stand up to a lot of things." Megumi sniffed, then silently took his hand to get back on her feet.
Cécile sighed. She knew Alexander would always be by Megumi's side to help her out, but still, Cécile smiled and walked over to Megumi and for the first time offered her a handshake. "You've gotten a bit better, Megumi. I hope I didn't get too carried away out there."
Megumi looked up to see Cécile offering a handshake, and, after a moment, decided to take it. "Thanks," Megumi said dejectedly as she shook hands.
Cécile had walked out to the nice open outdoors, this was partially just so anyone could watch, and she just liked being outside. It was time she put Megumi in her place though. The girl always seemed to think she had a chance, and she really had none! For one, she couldn't beat the 'Trident Dragion', nor did Cécile even need it against Megumi.
As the young Megumi approached though, Cécile held her hand across her chest as though she were going to hold her shoulder, but didn't actually touch her own body as the Duel Disk activated and prepared itself. "Are you ready to lose yet again, little Megumi?" Cécile taunted as she waited for the spunky girl to prepare herself.
"Hmph, you'll be taking back those words!" Megumi said, raising her already readied Duel Disk. Cécile may have changed her deck, but so did Megumi, and Megumi was itching to use it to beat her.
Alexander had followed the two girls, not trusting Megumi on her own in this Duel. Plus, it would serve as a test to see how well Megumi's new deck would do in Duels.
"Now I would let a lady go first, but you're clearly not a lady with that kind of behavior, so I'll go first!" Cécile teased as she drew her hand.
"Hey!" Megumi said indignantly.
Cécile then giggled and set two face downs. "I'll place these two cards face down, and then I'll summon this little guy in face down defense mode!" She said as she set her monster smirking the entire time. "Your go!"
"Draw!" Megumi said, drawing her first card and adding it to her hand. Her hand wasn't much at the moment, but it would do for now. "I play the Spell cards: 'Shard of Greed' and 'Card Trader'!" Megumi declared, the two Spell cards appearing on the field, a shard of green pottery and a black-robed figure shuffling a deck. "Now I play 'Fiend's Sanctuary', Summoning a 'Metal Fiend' token onto my field!" Megumi continued, an odd metallic thing appearing on the field.
"I Tribute my 'Metal Fiend' to Summon the first step in my deck," Megumi said. "Appear, 'Jinzo'!" A humanoid creature appeared, covered in green and yellow armor. "Now you can't use any Trap cards!" Megumi said triumphantly. "Go, 'Jinzo'! Destroy that facedown monster!" 'Jinzo' complied, firing two laser beams from its eyes at the facedown monster.
Cécile smirked as a scrawny 'Dread Dragon' appeared briefly. "You destroyed my 'Dread Dragon', and when he's sent to the Grave by battle, I get to add one Level three or lower Dragon monster to my hand! And I'll choose my 'Black Metal Dragon'!" She said as the card slipped out of her deck for her to grab.
Megumi wasn't familiar with the card Cécile just added to her hand, but it wasn't that important right now. "Turn End," Megumi said.
Cécile drew her next card and then grabbed a different card in her hand. "Now then, I hope you're ready, little Megumi! I summon 'The Black Stone of Legend', in Attack mode!" The petty looking black stone appeared on the field in its less than intimidating form. "Now I'll activate its effect. By Tributing it, I can search my deck and Summon any 'Red-Eyes' card in my Deck, and I'll choose the 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon'!"
The Black Stone of Legend shattered into a burst of light which faded to reveal the 'Red-Eyes Back Dragon' staring down Megumi and roaring at her.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon: ATK 2400
Megumi could never forget the 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon'. Megumi smiled and said, "Our monsters have the same ATK, so you can't attack without destroying your own monster too!"
Cécile grinned darkly at Megumi. "You truly are second rate, though that still might be giving you too much credit. Now I'll activate the effect of my 'Black Metal Dragon'! I can equip it to any of my 'Red-Eyes' monsters, and obviously I'll be choosing my 'Black Dragon'! Oh, and did I forget to mention it gains six hundred ATK?" Cécile giggled enjoying herself as her dragon's ATK went up with the appearance of the Black Metal Dragon.
"Wait, what!?" Megumi exclaimed in dismay.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon: ATK 2400 --> ATK 3000
"Now 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon', Inferno Blast!" Cécile shouted pointing at Jinzo as her grin never wavered.
Megumi shielded herself with her arms as the fiery blast struck her 'Jinzo', shattering it into a million pieces.
Megumi: LP 4000 --> LP 3400
After the attack ended, Megumi was hit with a feeling of frustration. Her 'Jinzo' was destroyed so easily. Then again, she was dealing with Cécile, who wasn't exactly a pushover.
"Now that your 'Jinzo' is gone that activates my Trap card: 'Phoenix Wing Wind Blast'. With this, I discard one card from my hand, and then I choose one of your cards on the field to go back to the top of your deck, and I'll choose the oh so lovely 'Shard of Greed'!" Cécile said as she pointed at the green shard of pottery that Megumi had.
Megumi frowned even more as the Spell card was removed from the field and placed back onto the top of her deck. Fortunately, she still had 'Card Trader', so she could still recover from this predicament.
"But just wait! Since you ordered now! I can also activate this Trap card! Red-Eyes Spirit!" Cécile's second trap card revealed. "With this I can Special Summon the beautiful 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' I just discarded! So welcome my second 'Red-Eyes'!"
Megumi could only watch in dismay as a second 'Red-Eyes' appeared on the field, just as threatening as the first one.
"Now my beautiful 'Red-Eyes'! Give Megumi a taste of your Inferno Blast personally!"
Megumi felt the impact of the attack as it struck, kncoking her down and dealing a huge dish of damage to her Life Points.
Megumi: LP 3400 --> LP 1000
"You could always give up now Megumi! Save yourself the humiliation of losing to me terribly once more..." Cécile taunted. "If you don't, I'll have to continue this turn and make you regret this duel entirely..."
Megumi grunted as she got back up. "That was a cheap shot! You won't get to do that again next turn!" Megumi said.
Cécile's dark grin grew just a bit more. "In that case I'll overlay my two dragons! I'll crush you with the joint card that my brother and I use, the 'Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon'! But once more that won't be all! When my 'Black Metal Dragon' is sent from the field to the Graveyard I get to add one 'Red-Eyes' card from my deck to my hand, and I'll choose...My third 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon'..." The final Red-Eyes had been a new addition. The last time she had faced Megumi, Cécile only had two Red-Eyes.
"Now come forth, 'Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon'!" Cécile had raised her hand up high dramatically as the spiraled galaxy appeared and her two 'Red-Eyes' changed into yellow orbs of light to be sucked into the galaxy, only to return as a huge metal covered dragon, which upon landing stared down Megumi, roaring with such a capacity it shook the surrounding area.
Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon: ATK 2800
"And don't worry Megumi, he also has some fun abilities, but I'll let you find them out on your own, your move." Cécile's grin was unending as she waited for the girl to make her move.
