Here we are now people, in chapter 3 with the first duel :D I admitI took Yami and Pegasus duel as a base and my dear friend Light guardine35 helped me to write it. So if you haven’t read any of her stuff do it now what are you waiting for?! Enjoy the chapter and tell me if the duel was okay if you could follow along, all right?

Chapter 3: Card Games through a TV

The next few weeks in Sehrazat life were… interesting to say at least.

She and her whole family and friends got Afya, the spirit of the Millennium Fragment and her supposed ancestor, to know.

Afya was 100% a queen, no doubt. Her presence, how she moved, how she talked, the way she could command a whole room…it screamed it.

And her soul room was a giant ass ancient Egyptian palace.

Sehrazat had now for a few times visit it and the place seemed to have no ends. What really surprised her were the Duel Monsters carved on a few doors that wouldn’t open. Not even Afya know how to open them or what was behind them.

Anyhow, the most important place was the little arena the palace had. There were a lot of weapons, mostly swords, and shields and Afya made it her quest to teach Sehrazat to wield a sword.

No kidding!

So Sehrazat got her ass mentally kicked once per day and her respect for Afya grow.

The woman was a merciless teacher, but how she kicked butt was art!

So elegant and deadly!

It doesn’t mean that the blue-haired girl didn’t want to make her ancestor a bit suffer. She could literally feel all the wounds Afya had inflicted on her, even if they didn’t show on her body.

So she did what she could do best.

Challenging Afya to a children’s card game.

Also known as Duel Monster.

Before her father died he had taught her anything about the game. She didn’t want to praise herself, but she was a damn good duellist. She had won the last Europa Championships and if she didn’t have moved to Japan she could have participated in the World Cup.

Sadly you had to still live in Europa to be the champion, so her title had gone to the creepy Paulo Ramirez, the third place in the classify since Kihana played Duel Monster too and was second place.

Anger couldn’t even describe how Sehrazat felt about that.

Stupid technicality.

To get back where we started, Sehrazat was a damn good duellist and would beat Afya’s ass in Duel Monster.

That evaporated in a few minutes in their game since Afya picked it up fast and completely destroyed her.

Afya was even better than her in Duel Monsters!

How the heck the ancient queen managed that was beyond Sehrazat.

After that brutal loss, she had gone to her mama to get comfort. It was so unfair!

It didn’t end there, Afya wiped the floor with Kihana too and Maja gave up after a few turns in.

Afya was not only a formidable swordswoman but also an incredible duellist. Even if she repeated she preferred her sword over cards.

All in all, it was an experience that was neither forgotten and Sehrazat asked herself if she and Afya teamed up if they could have beaten Seto Kaiba, the former World Champion.

Yes, the former.

A boy named Yuugi Muto kicked the rich kid and three of his Blue Eyes White Dragons behind with Exodia.

If Sehrazat ever meet this Yuugi he would get a big Kudos from her.

That was impressive.

Today in the Faizan and Schariq household Maja was to guest since they all wanted to watch together how the Regional Championships ended.

After a nice supper, all were in the living room together.

Sehrazat was snuggled up against her mama, with Maja leaning on her. Sadiye was sitting on Aunty Rahila’s lap and Kihana had taken one of the armchairs for herself. Afya, as spirit, was also out of her Millennium Item and sat down on the other armchair.

Various snacks and beverages were laid out on the couch table and everyone, besides Afya of course, took some snacks and drinks.

Then it was time for the final duel.

The Announcer was full of energy as he said:” Good evening duel fans and our ten million viewers at home, and welcome to the Duel Monsters Duel Dome, where tonight, the Duel Monsters Regional Championship will be decided. Of the two hundred duellists who have competed in this marathon tournament, only two competitors remain standing. Put your cards together for Insector Haga, the Bug Brawler. His opponent, the number one ranked, Dinosaur Ryuzaki, Dino Duelist.”

“Are these guys’ real names?”, asked Maja and bit into her chocolate bar.

Kihana finished drinking her coke answering her: “No, I’m pretty sure that’s are invented names. Who would name his kid Insector or Dinosaur?”

“Someone with bad taste.”, said Amira, which made everyone laughed.

The all-female group watched how Insector Haga destroyed Dinosaur Ryuzaki with his tiny insects.

Sadiye pouted like no tomorrow as she had to give Maja her Yens since she bet that the Dinosaur Dude would win. Her mother and sister hugged and kissed her, so she felt a bit better.

But she wouldn’t bet again against Maja.

“And now a very special honour for our new champion, here to present the Duel Monsters championship trophy, the creator of Duel Monsters and the president of Industrial Illusions.”, told the announcer. “Ladies and gentlemen and fellow duellists, I give you Pegasus J. Crawford!”

Pegasus, holding a trophy, was raised by a platform into the middle of the duelling arena.

“The creator personally, what an honour for the young boy.”, said Rahila, stroking Sadiye’s black hair.

“That guy has some serious fabulous hair. What shampoo does he use?”, wonders Maja.

Sehrazat wants to answer her, yet she feels something in her mind. Or more she feels the connection she shares with Afya. Her Yami stares at Pegasus with a frown.

“What’s wrong, Afya?”

“I don’t like this man…something is strange about him. How he gives himself, his posture…it rubs me the wrong way.”

Meanwhile, Pegasus walks over to Insector Haga and kneels down. He gives him the trophy and congratulations, Haga is of course really happy.

That’s when Pegasus says something which turns all attention back to him: “And, as regional champion, I invite you to compete in the bold new tournament I'm hosting at the Duelist Kingdom.”

“That’s a first.”, says Amira. “Pegasus never hold or invited someone to his Duelist Kingdom.”

“Oh that reminds me!”, shouts Rahila.

She puts Sadiye down her lap and runs out of the living room. The rest of the women and girls look all at each other confused. A few seconds later she returns with two boxes in her hands.

“These packages were delivered today to us. One is for Sehrazat and one for you Kihana, my child.”

Still confused both take their package. Sehrazat shakes it.

“I wonder what’s in there.”

“It’s from Industrial Illusions!”, gasp Kihana surprised.

Amira crosses her arms and Afya’s frown deepens.

“Pegasus hosts for the first time a tournament and you both get a package from him the same day. I don’t like to say it girls, but something about this is fishy.”, tells them, Amira.

“You think so, mama?”

“I agree, it is a bit of an obvious coincidence.”, admits Rahila. “But, Mira, both our daughters are top duellists, it’s not strange if Pegasus wants them in his tournament.”

“Can we not just open the boxes and see what’s inside them?”, whines Sadiye, who is sitting now on Maja’s lap.

“I’m curious too.”, agrees Maja with her.

Well, what else should they do? So together Sehrazat and Kihana open the boxes under the eyes of their family and friends. Both find a glove, two golden stars, and some cards.

Only Sehrazat’s one has a VHS in it. She picks it up with a frown.

“Why do I get a VHS?”

“Don’t make us watch it Sehra!”, shrieks Sadiye and hugs Maja tight. “That thing could be cursed!”

“Did you watch again bad movies, even if I didn’t permit them, Sadiye? You are still too young.”, scolds Rahila her.

“Sorry, mommy!”

“We will talk about this later, young miss.”

Sehrazat looks to Afya, who has crossed her arms fixing this strange device with an uncertain look.

“Well, let’s just watch it.”, she decides for anyone. “We will know then what’s it about.”

So Sehrazat puts the VHS in the VCR. The woman and girls huddle all close together till the static shows Pegasus on the TV screen.

“Greetings, my dear Sehrazat. I am Pegasus J. Crawford.”

“Hello?”, greets Sehrazat and waves awkwardly.

“Did you really say hello to a pre-recorded video?”, whispers-shouts Kihana in disbelief.

The blue-haired girl just shrugs her shoulders.

“It’s quite a shame that just because you moved to Japan you aren’t the Europa Champion anymore. You and Miss Schariq are formidable duellists, but you Sehrazat are even more a special case.”, tells her Pegasus. Afya stands now beside her with crossed arms, fixing the screen with a sharp look. “In fact, I've decided to investigate your amazing duelling skills personally. Right here, right now, we shall hold a special duel. We will play with a strict time limit of fifteen minutes and when time's up, the player with the highest life-points will be the winner. Are you ready?”

“This guy nuts, he is on a videotape.”, points Maja out.

“How is this going to work?”, wonders Sadiye.

Suddenly Pegasus laughs really evil. Something behind his hair glows in gold.

“No, it's magic!”

The woman and girls let out a shocked sound. Her mother, aunty Rahila, Kihana, Sadiye and Maja turn black and fade into the background.

Only her and Afya are still standing.

“Gran-Gran are you feeling this?”, she asks her Yami. “Everything's growing dark and cold and the others aren't moving.”

“Yes, I do. This is some kind of magic I bet with you!”

“Pegasus what have you done to my family!”, Sehrazat demands to know.

“Don’t worry, they are fine, you should worry more where we are now, little Sehrazat!”, tells her Pegasus.

“He is right. This place…this isn’t our normal world.”, informs her Afya.

“Do you want to take over, Gran-Gran?”

Afya just nods. The symbol of the Millennium Items appears on Sehrazat’s forehead and her Millennium Fragments start to glow. With closed eyes the switch takes place and where once Sehrazat was in control of the body it is now Afya.

The spirit opens her eyes and smirks at Pegasus.

“All right, let’s duel and then you unfreeze my family and friends!”, declare Afya in her more mature and womanly voice.

Pegasus nods.

“Certainly. Let's begin. But you should know one thing, someone like me you never faced in a duel.”

The VCR timer is set to 0: 15.00 and both duellists get their cards ready.

“You will pay for what you did to my family!”, growls Afya and draws the Alexandrite Dragon.

Again something behind Pegasus’s hair glows

“You won't save anyone with that dragon card.”, he tells her nonchalantly.

“How did you?!”

“I told you, you've never faced anyone like me before.”, he reminds her. ”I know every move you'll make. Before you can even make it.”

Afya just growls angrily at him.

“Knowing every move you'll make gives me a distinct advantage, wouldn't you say? For example, I can anticipate your next play and counter it with this Dragon Capture Jar.”

“Hah?”

“It will draw the Alexandrite Dragon from your card and imprison the beast. Trapped. Never to be played against me.”

How can he see my cards and make my monsters real?!, thinks Afya desperate. There is only one explanation!

“You have a Millennium Item too, don't you?!”, shouts Afya accusing.

“Right you a Sehrazat girl or should I call you queen?”, he smirks at her gasp. “Since you inhabited the body of your descendant.”

“How do you know this?”, wants Afya to know.

“My Item showed me a lot of things, including the little secret of the Faizan family. Now back to our game, my Dragon Piper has his flute of resurrection frees your Alexandrite Dragon, but puts him under my control.”

I have to defeat myself!

“I play Amazon of the Seas!”

The mermaid-like monster appears before her and the Alexandrite Dragon.

Alexandrite Dragon: ATK2000/DEF2100

Amazon of the Seas: ATK1300/DEF1400

The Alexandrite Dragon attacks the Amazon of the Sea.

I can feel the heat of the attack!

Afya’s life points are reduced from 2000 to 1300.

“A bit too hot for you my dear queen?”, ask Pegasus amused. ”I imagine it must be a long time since you played a Shadow Game, you seem a bit rusty.”

“Don't be so sure Pegasus, I will beat you!”, promises Afya and draws a new card.

Pegasus lifts his hair aside to show his Millennium Eye which glints with the image of a woman in a golden dress with six white angel wings. In Afya’s eye also glints with the same image.

I have to turn this duel around, maybe with my Wingweaver?

Suddenly Pegasus laughs out loud and the once queen of all of Egypt gets insecure.

Wait a minute, he definitely knows what I'm about to do. I bet it's his Millennium Item that gives him this power. He must see the cards I draw with it, but what if I don't know what I play?

“Hurry up now, Queenie. Time is running out for you and your family. I already know what you will play and have a surprise for your little fairy type.”

Afya looks at him with cold orange eyes and takes blindly a card from her deck.

“Don’t be so sure of yourself, Pegasus! I figured out how your power works. You may be able to see the cards in my hand, but you can't see the cards I pull from the deck.”

Pegasus narrows his eyes at her.

“My next card is... the Dark Magician Girl!”

The Dark Magician Girl appears with a twirl and a cute smile. She hovers protectively before Afya.

“Your little cute Magician and Alexandrite Dragon how the same attack points.”, points Pegasus smirking out.

Dark Magician Girl: ATK2000/DEF1700

Alexandrite Dragon: ATK2000/DEF100

“What do you plan on doing my dear queen?”

“I will use this handy spell card.”, now Afya is smirking and shows him the card. “I play the magic card, Magic Formula which will give my Dark Magician Girl 700 more Attack Points!”

“Well, if you think this will help you. Then go on.”, say’s Pegasus nonchalant.

“It will do more than that!”

Dark Magician Girl: ATK2700/DEF1700

Alexandrite Dragon: ATK2000/DEF100

“And now my Dark Magician Girl destroy the Alexandrite Dragon!”, shouts Afya, as her monster twirls her staff and sends the dragon to the Graveyard.

Pegasus Life Points drop from 2000 to 1300, yet he seems very calm. Afya narrows her eyes at him.

“I have taken a good chunk of your Life Points how can you be so calm?”, she questions him.

The man just draws his next card.

“Oh my dear queenie, you are so old, yet so naive. But by using your Dark Magician Girl, you've let me manipulate you once again.”

“You are lying!”, accuses Afya, while Dark Magician Girl hovers closer to her with a worried look on her face.

“By playing that one card, you have ensured my victory.”

“You are out of your mind!”

“We shall see, Queenie. Oh, a very rare card. This is the fearsome Faceless Mage.”

“I've never seen that card before.”, admits Afya. “But my Dark Magician Girl never let me down.”

Dark Magician Girl: ATK2700/DEF1700

Faceless Mage: ATK1200/DEF2200

“But how will she fare once I combine my Faceless Mage with the, equally rare, Eye of Illusion?”, wonders sarcastically Pegasus.

“Dark Magician Girl get ready, use your powers to defeat it! Dark Burning Attack!”, commands Afya.

Dark Magician Girl attacks, Faceless Mage holds up the Eye of Illusion and her attack has no effect. Both the duellist and Duel Monster are shocked.

“How can this be?!”, shouts Afya.

Pegasus does not give an answer, just laughs at her desperation.

It didn’t make any sense. Pegasus Monster should be toast! The ancient queen looked worried at the timer. 0: 05.00. She didn’t have much time left! She needed to end this Duel.

“I attack your combo with my Amazoness Paladin!”

The female warrior appears on the playing field swinging her sword.

Amazoness Paladin: ATK1700/DEF300

Faceless Mage: ATK1200/DEF2200

“My fearsome Amazon will cut your Faceless Mage down!”, promises Afya.

“True, your Amazon is fearsome. But you have once again underestimated the incredible power of my Eye of Illusion! Hah hah!”, laughs Pegasus in her face. “Dark Burning Attack!”

Amazoness Paladin shatters, and Afya's life points are reduced from 1300 to 300.

“How can this be?! The Faceless Mage doesn't have a Dark Burning Attack?”

It’s like lighting struck her as the once queen of Egypt realized what this means.

It was my own Dark Magician Girl that attacked me. Pegasus is controlling her with the Eye of Illusion. But if he's using its magic to control my magician, what's controlling his mage?

“Well, queenie, our time together is nearly up, and as I have more life points than you, it appears I am the victor.”, informs her Pegasus giddy.

Fractionally Afya looks for a way out and draws a card, but before she can summon it, the timer hits zero!

“No, please no!”, she screams. “I was this close to ending it!”

“It seems luck was not on your side queenie, but you were a formidable opponent.”, mocks her Pegasus.

“What do you want? Why are you doing all of this?!”, demands Afya too know.

“It’s quite simple. As you already guessed right I possess one Millennium Item, the Millennium Eye. My goal is to have all eight, then who shall have all eight of them shall have a power beyond imagination!”, tells her Pegasus passionately. “But I have to win it from you, ales his power will not be mine.”

Shocked the blue-haired woman grips her amulet.

“I will never hand you over my Millennium Fragment! I’m done playing games with you!”

“Oh, you will. You see, I have found that given the proper incentive, anyone can be made to play my game.”

The Millennium Eye glows and pulls Sehrazat’s mother’s soul into the television screen.

“Amira?!”, shouts Afya in disbelief.

Amira appears on the TV screen, crying for help: “Sehrazat!”

Afya gets formally kicked out of the body and Sehrazat is again in control. Crying she puts her hands on the TV.

“Mama, MAMA!”

“Yes, we will duel again, Sehrazat. How else will you reclaim your mother’s soul?”, ask Pegasus a rhetorical question, till the TV turns into static.

The world returns to color and Sehrazat’s Family and friends are now able to move. Amira's eyes are blank and she falls over.

“MAMA! MAAAAAAMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Her scream of pain and anguish can be heard oven out of their home.
