El Shaddoll Millenia

3rd String

Yuu had waited a few hours after sunset to start exploring the island. No one had came to the cave he was using as a base and despite wanting to wait he felt something pulling him towards the other side of the island. It felt powerful, ferocious but mechanical in nature. Winda had appeared again to start leading him to where this feeling was coming from. It was a clearing with four people.

Two didn’t look important as the talked to who he only assumed was their boss, however the other two were definitely distinct. One looked almost like a zombie in the darkness while the other he recognized from a tournament he watched, Bandit Keith.

He could feel something dangerous coming from the American dressed Bandit and Winda wanted to know what it was. ‘Challenge him to a duel’ Winda told Yuu to do but he didn't feel ready to duel that tough an opponent. “B-but he's more skilled than me” he whispered to her as she giggled and told him ‘Oh come on. Just listen to me and you'll win’ she told him before he was actually pushed into view.

“Oh looks like someone was spying on us” Keith stated when he saw Yuu come into view. He gulped before bowing and stating “I-I'm sorry I just wanted to duel someone” he lied. “Bandit Keith, I challenge you to a duel” he exclaimed as Keith smiled viciously before asking sarcastically “Why should I duel you? You're obviously new at this and nervous. Just give me your Star Chips now before you embarrass yourself” he taunted as Winda appeared beside Yuu, unseen by the others, and whispered to him. Yuu gulped before saying “Are you scared that you'll lose to another kid” causing Keith to quiver in rage and his lackeys to back away from him. He grunted before saying “Fine, you wanna duel so badly let's duel now” he snapped his fingers as a Battlebox appeared behind him and his lackeys.

Yuu gulped again as he stood on the blue side of the box and Keith stood on the red. As the hologram started up Yuu placed his deck and extra deck in their respective spots before drawing five cards as bandit Keith did the same. “DUEL” and the duel began.

“Alright, I'll go first and end you quickly you brat” Keith began before he drew a card. “I summon Guardian of the Throne room in attack mode” in front of him appeared a brass robot with rockets on its back and tank treads. “Then I'll lay one facedown and end my turn.” he finished and Yuu drew a card.

When Yuu was about to set a monster Winda appeared beside him and pointed at a card, Shaddoll Fusion. He nodded before he began “I play the spell card Shaddoll Fusion and fuse Shaddoll Beast and Shaddoll Dragon in my hand” he then placed the respective cards in the graveyard and in front of him both Shaddoll Dragon and Shaddoll Beast appeared and began to crack and slowly shatter as their Cores started forming a new shape “Beast who destroys nature itself, become one with the dragon corrupted by Darkness! Fusion Summon!” in front of him appeared El Shaddoll Winda riding an Unnamed Shaddoll. “I activate both Shaddoll Dragon and Shaddoll Beast abilities from the graveyard. I destroy your face down card” the face down, Magic Jammer, shattered as strings ripped it apart “and draw 1 card. I now play the equip spell Fusion Weapon and equip it to my Level 5 El Shaddoll Winda and place one facedown. I end my turn”

Keith laughed “Oh man, you had an opening and you didn't attack?” he cackled as he set a monster, switched his other to defense mode and set another card “You may have a powerful monster, but on my next turn that all ends” he sneered as he ended his turn.

Yuu draws a card as Winda looked at him from the field and nodded. He placed one face down “I end my turn” he finished quickly without attacking.

Keith just cackled as he ‘drew’ a card and smiled a vicious smile. “I guess it's time I destroy that Doll of yours” he sneered “I tribute both of my monsters in order to summon Barrel Dragon!” he exclaimed as a large bipedal machine with 3 gun barrels for heads “Now I activate its ability, if I land 2 heads on 3 coin flips I can destroy one monster on the field” he monologued briefly “You shouldn't of challenged me kid, because of that you'll lose and I can take your Star Chips and beat the shit out of Pegasus-” he was interrupted by Yuu as he smiled an eerie smile and revealed one of his facedowns. “I activate the Quick-Spell, Gift For Construct. This card allows me to take control of one of your monsters, but they can't attack” he stated as Strings attached themselves to Barrel Dragon before dragging it into the card and out emerged a similar monster but it's barrels were replaced with writhing shadows and anything that moved were replaced to look like Doll joints.

Bandit Keith, speechless, silently ended his turn as Yuu drew a card “I summon Shaddoll Hound from my hand” he stated as the Shadow Doll Dog appeared beside Winda. He held up a spell card “Now I activate the Field Spell, Curse of the Shadow Prison” as he stated that the very area began to change as shadows darted around them and the sky was filled with shooting stars. One of the shadows stopped under Keith and he started to sink “W-what's going on!?” he screamed as he saw Yuu’s ferocious smile. “Bandit Keith, I attack you with Shaddoll Hound and El Shaddoll Winda” he stated as the two Shaddolls attached strings to Keith and dragged him down quicker “From this moment Bandit you are no longer human and your Barrel Dragon is mine” Yuu stated as Keith disappeared into darkness and the field disappeared.

The spectators looked at him in fear and ran, leaving behind their Star Chips hoping to get away. They did and Yuu already had over 10 chips. He pulled a two cards from his pocket. One looked like Bandit Keith, but his clothes were replaced by Black and Purple clothing and his eyes were dull, the cards name was Shaddoll Bandit. The other looked like the Shaddoll Barrel Dragon, but it's name was changed to El Shaddoll Cannon. He smiled cruelly as Winda appeared behind him and smiled cruelly.

El Shaddoll Millennia had his first victim.
