The Paradox Games

The Black Beast Decends

Bete Noire

That magic girl knows my weakness, and I let that puny dino girl take her away with her. But I did get to kill that coward girl, she deserved it for not facing danger head on. All that I had to do now was kill magic girl before everyone knew how to destroy me.

Now the question was where was she, if I went to the middle there was the possibility of seeing her. But I'd also run the risk of running into many more competitors than I could handle. Fortunately for me, I was willing to accept the risk and its consequences. I walked towards the middle, not encountering anyone on the way there.

The only good thing about this whole experience is that I volunteered over that weakling Jessica, she would die in this place in only minutes from the start. Now that I'm thinking about it I'd really like her to suffer in this dome of fun.

When I got to the middle, I found exactly what I was looking for. Magic girl and dino girl were both in the middle. The only issue is that two other competitors were coming in from the other end of the map. If Dynal found me now it would be game over, and that wasn't about to happen. Duna and Luna, quite the duo. But they wouldn't be around for long, and neither would the other two.

Duna looked up to see me, she readied herself for whatever I had in store for her. She wasn't in her big form yet so I had that advantage. The other two then noticed me as well, they ran towards Duna and Luna. Unfortunate for them, I'd intercept them. I then conjured my dark pink arrow beside my arm and let it fly at them.  Another thing appeared behind the spiky haired boy and fired a magical blast at my arrow. They collided in the middle and neutralized, exploding in contact. This gave them the time they needed to get to Duna and Luna.

The other two were Yugi and Tails, Tails would be easy to take down and from what I have noticed Yugi would not be so easy. Yugi had two cards in his hand now, and the thing on his arm was the source of his power. It looked like someone had already done a number on it too.

"Here comes Green Gadget! And from it's effect I can summon both Yellow and Red Gadgets as well." Yugi said as three more small machine-like creatures appeared in front of him leaving him with on card he was still holding, he was saving it for something no doubt.

I jumped up in the air and morphed my arm into a spike, killing each of those machines would be easy. But then Tails jumped up into the air, an easy target. He spun his tails around and sent me flying backwards, I extended my arm as an anchor and landed on the ground and smiled at all of them. All of the gadgets then came for me, I easily swept them away with extending my arm and slamming them backwards. Tails had then come back to the ground near the other three. I then sent a few pink blobs after the weak three, I wanted to take on Yugi myself. Duna transformed into her dinosaur form as Tails, Duna, and Luna all took on an army of pink blobs.

"You're the only one I need to worry about. But thankfully for me I won't have to worry for long." I said to him conjuring another dark pink arrow beside my arm.

"We'll just see about that!" He shouted as another card flew into his hand and he immediately put it on the device attached to his arm. Then I let the arrow fly at him, it exploded on contact. When the dust settled, there was not three machines there but only one.

"Your carelessness allowed me to summon Stronghold the Moving Fortress! And when it's brought to the field, it takes all three of my gadgets. This allows it to attack with much more power!" Yugi explained, I grimaced at him. He had the giant machine and the magician girl beside him.

"Go! Stronghold, attack Bete Noire!" Yugi shouted as the giant machine thundered towards me. Right before it punched me I created a dark pink barrier between me and the machine. It collided with the barrier, almost breaking it on contact. I then teleported right behind him and brought out my scythe. My scythe then slashed him, but that stupid magician girl intercepted my attack and toon it for him. But this did give me a few moments to see the card he was holding in his hand. It looked like an arrow, I didn't get to read it in time before I teleported back away. Unfortunately, the others had almost designated my pink blob army with barely any scratches on them.

"You're a lot stronger than you appear, I'll give you that. But can you survive something that can be used against you?" I asked him, my hair then turned fully pink and I smiled wickedly at him. None of them will know what hit them. A blast then came off of me and turned everything a negative color for a moment before returning to its original color. Yugi didn't seem to realize what had happened.

"Stronghold attack her now!" He shouted, but the machine didn't move. It stayed put standing still. I held my hand in the air and Stringhold came towards me and turned around to face them. Stronghold was on my side now, it had a slight pink tint to it now. The others had now finished off my army too, they would have to fight this machine now.

"What?! How did you... My Stronghold!" Yugi shouted looking at the monster that had switched sides.

"I'm full of secrets and mysteries, you just wasted a powerful creature for my cause." I told him, he grimaced at me as the other three came to him. They all looked in horror at what I had stolen from Yugi. Yugi then got another card into his hand.

"Buster Blader, c'mon out and help me!" Yugi shouted, it indeed looked like a powerful monster, but would it be enough to take down his own. I then saw Luna whispering to Yugi, I had to stop her before she told him my weakness. I pointed at them and Stronghold stomped towards them.

Duna, Buster Blader, and Tails went after Stronghold while I took care of the ones that knew my weakness. It was an even playing field between the three of us. I just had to throw off the balance before I was throw out. I then conjured another dark pink arrow beside my arm and flung it at them. I ran right behind it at them, my arm had turned pink.

"Now Yugi!" Luna shouted, I wouldn't be stopped. No one can stop me.

"I activate my Spell Shattering Arrow!" Yugi said as a rivaling arrow appeared right in front of him.

"Finite!" Luna shouted as the arrow glowed brighter. Right as the two arrows were about to collide, it flew towards me. My arrow shattered on contact and it flew right at me, I sidestepped and continued to run at Yugi. My arm turned into a pink spear and I went to stab him. Right as I did, Yugi raised his arm up and his thing on his arm took the hit. But then the arrow came back and pierced right through me. I felt my soul crack and knew I had to retreat before it got worse.

I had taken out another slot on Yugi's duel disk and taken his Stronghold, but he did get to draw another card. I then teleported to Stronghold and then teleported with it away from them and deep into the forest. Stronghold hadn't even taken any of them down but did sustain major damage. I looked my soul for a moment and saw a crack right in the middle.
