With the events of Diva long gone, being nearly two months since Yugi had put an end to Diva's path of hatred, within her new apartment lay the graceful dancer, Téa Gardner, only as she slept, Téa continued to moan and move around slightly, due to the dream she was having.
Within her dream, Téa found herself back in ancient Egypt, back when Atem ruled the lands, only she found herself in the throne room of the Pharaoh, who was smiling at her.
But what Téa found confusing was that her body was moving on its own, all she could do was watch as she danced to the music that filled the room.
"You dance divinely, Teana." Atem commented, his tone causing Téa to blush a little, but confusion to keep filling her as to why she felt this way and why Atem had addressed her by such a name.
"Thank you, my Pharaoh. I live to serve." Téa said back, finding the words leaving her mouth, but it wasn't her saying them.
As Tea remained in her place, finding herself continuing to dance and feeling her body getting hot when she saw Atem's eyes wandering and examining her figure, through her dancing, Téa noticed the outfit she was wearing, looking herself over to see she was wearing a deep blue coloured bra, perking up her C-cup breasts, while feeling a silk veil covered her mouth and nose.
From her body's movements, Téa saw she was also wearing a blue thong that was hidden behind a pair of blue silk pants, while golden accessories covered her arms, legs and golden shoes adorned her feet, stunning and leaving Téa blushing at wearing such a suggestive outfit.
But what threw Téa off the most about her changes was the sight of her skin, seeing she had gained a far deeper tan, her skin matching the same complexion as Atem's.
And as much as Téa wanted to speak, to ask why she looked so different, she remained silent, unable to do anything but watch as she then saw two more figures enter the throne room.
The first Téa recognized as Mana, the young magic user that had created the Dark Magician Girl and had helped them in stopping Zorc from plaguing the world into darkness, blushing to see that just like her, Mana not only had a more developed body, but she too was showing off her figure as she was clad in a deep blue harem girl outfit, exposing most of her body, including her slender arms and legs, her C-cup breasts and the same loving smile Téa could only guess was forced on her face.
Though Téa was surprised by the sight of Mana and what she was wearing, Téa was more shocked by the appearance of the second woman that had entered the throne room, leaving Téa in awe as she thought. 'Rebecca!?'
Looking at the second girl to enter the room, from her hairstyle, the familiar details in her face, including her blue eyes, her freckles and her long hair, which was now pitch black as it flowed down her back, there was no doubt in Tea's mind that this look-a-like was indeed Rebecca Hawkins.
However, unlike the Rebecca Hawkins Téa had come to see as a good friend, this Rebecca shared the same confidence in her appearance as Mana, where she wore an orange version of the outfits upon her body and upon Mana's, seeming to jut out her B-cup sized breasts as to try and entice Atem and gain his attention.
"It's good to see you again, Mana." Atem commented as he looked at the young magic user with a smile, turning his attention to Rebecca and adding with a continued charm in his tone. "You too, Samia."
'Samia?' Téa questioned mentally, finding herself with more and more questions as the events played around her, namely as Mana and Samia moved close to Tea's sides, each holding a longing expression as they stared at her.
"Now that we're back, we can show Pharaoh Atem all our love." Samia said with a smile, leaving Téa wondering what the Rebecca double had in mind, before getting the answer and catching Téa off guard, surprising/stunning her deeply when Samia moved in, kissing Teas right on the lips, moaning in Samia's mouth at the sensations, part of Téa finding pleasure in kissing another woman, while feeling Mana join in, running her hands along Tea's body and stripping her of her outfit.
"You have such a beautiful body, Teana." Mana said as she relieved Téa of her top, tossing the garment aside and exposing Tea's bare breasts to the girls and to Atem, filling Téa with embarrassment and a confusing excitement, which heightened as she watched as Mana and Samia turned their attention to one another, helping each other out of their outfits and leaving both standing naked, leaving them wearing just the golden jewelry that adorned their figures.
With Mana and Samia both ready, the pair removed the last of Tea's clothing, leaving her standing naked, where Téa wanted to cover her body, but found she remained unable to give her body any commands, but to instead witness the sensations that then came as she moved over and kisses Mana deeply, shocked she would kiss a woman, but also shocked that she actually liked it.
And as she continued to kiss mana, looking into her eyes and seeing a growing desire, Téa moaned when a strange sensation filled her lower region, causing her to keep her lips pressed against Mana's and look down to see Samia, who had moved to her knees and was sliding her fingers along Tea's exposed pussy.
"Hope you don't mind, Teana, but you looked so irresistible that I just couldn't help myself." Samia said with a small apology in her tone, which quickly faded, changing to a slyness as she added. "But it seems that our pharaoh is enjoying the sight."
Breaking her kiss with Tea, Mana gained a similar look of lust to Samia's as she eyed Atem, causing Téa to do the same, which left her blushing as she noticed the bulge forming within Atem's garments, his body reacting positively to the erotic sight of his slavegirls, before Téa found her body once again reacting on its own.
Approaching Atem, Téa knelt before him, moving her hands along the lower sections of his robes, where she began to slide Atem's leggings down, actually arousing Téa as she was about to remove the clothing that covered his member, only for the entire scene to change when the sound of an alarm clock filled Tea's ears, causing her to open her eyes, shoot up into a sitting position from her bed and sigh.
'Why do I keep having these dreams?' She wondered, letting out another sigh at her confusion, before looking at the calendar upon her nightstand, smiling to see one of the days circled in red, which made Téa say with a more cheerful tone. "At least I don't have to worry about those dreams today."
Getting out of bed, revealing her slender figure, which was clad in a simple pink t-shirt and a pair of light blue panties, Téa continued to smile, remaining in her cheerful mood, for today was the day she got to take a nice break from her dancing classes, a few weeks off, where she had decided to return to Domino City and reunite with Yugi and the rest of her friends.
And while Téa had made many new friends at her dancing classes, there was no replacing the feeling of friendship she gotten from hanging out with Yugi, Joey, Tristan and the others she had grown to love.
Quickly relieving herself of her current attire, Téa entered the apartment bathroom, stepped into the shower and sighed contently, relaxing herself as the hot water began to rub down her naked form, not only allowing her to wash her body, but also to give Téa some clarity, time to think a little deeper on the dreams she had been having recently.
"Why am I having these dreams now?" Téa asked herself again, allowing the water to run down her body as she spoke her mind, knowing nobody was there to reply, but it felt good to let out her confusion.
"I admit I used to like Atem, but he's gone now. And why do I keep dreaming of kissing other women? I'm only attracted to boys." She went on, sliding the soap along her body, rubbing it along her chest, which left a sexy moan escape her lips, feeling a little aroused at the actions, while her mind returned with the mental image of Mana and Rebecca's double pleasuring her.
Shaking her head and trying to get the more erotic thoughts out of her mind, Téa shut off the water and exited her shower, drying off her body with a towel, before she returned to her bedroom and withdrew her clothes.
After putting on a blue bra and a matching pair of panties, Téa threw on a yellow top, covering her chest, before slipping a pink skirt around her waist, keeping it from falling off of her legs with a white belt, leaving her smiling as she checked herself out in the mirror that rested on her nightstand, finding confidence in her figure as she posed.
"Looking good as always." She commented with a small chuckle, before completing the last of her changes as she tied a pink hair scrunchie behind her head, leaving the hair behind her head to flow down and just reach her neck.
With that, Téa was ready, causing her to smile the whole way as she left her apartment and arrived out the front of the streets, even despite the series of bags she had brought with her for her return to Domino City.
And after managing to get a taxi to stop for her, setting her belongings in the trunk, Téa headed for the airport, not only to be reunited with her old friends, but for the past to play a major role in shaping not only her future, but also the futures of those around her.
-Several hours later-
After the plane had finally landed and Téa made her way into the Domino City airport, where joy filled the brunette when she saw her friends, noticing the group of boys she hung out with in the past all in similar states to what she was expressing.
"Yugi! Joey! Tristan! I missed you all so much." Téa let out as she rushed over, embracing each of her friends with a great hug, which the three were happy to return.
But as happy as Téa was to see her friends, noticing they were several people short from their party, Téa asked in a curious tone. "So where is Duke and Bakura?"
"Duke had to work at his game shop." Tristan informed, before adding. "Since you left, there has been a great demand for Dungeon Dice Monsters, and Duke is pulling in the customers."
"As for Bakura, he decided to go back to England and see his relatives." Yugi said, causing Téa to nod in reply.
"And you wouldn't believe the leaving party he got." Joey commented, recalling on the day Bakura was scheduled to leave, despite it being a secret and to be just Bakura's friends wishing him a safe trip, many of the female students had shown up at the airport, offering Bakura sweets, phone numbers, with some even begging him to stay or to take them with him, bringing up some jealousy within Joey, where he let out. "Why don't I ever get that kind of attention when I travel?"
"Because you never go anywhere." Tristan pointed out, further frustrating Joey, who threw Tristan in a headlock and began yelling at him, causing Téa and Yugi to sigh.
"Some things never change." Téa commented, finding the sight of Joey and Tristan fighting a little embarrassing, but also endearing, reminding her of previous conflicts between the two that had lead to her current life.
But then turning her attention to Yugi, Téa continued to smile, seeing how the small boy had grown up, maintaining his sweet and caring side through his more developed build.
"So how is the dancing coming along?" Yugi asked with a kind smile, the question and the tone Yugi expressed caused Téa to smile back and say. "It's pretty good."
"It can be tough work, but nothing ventured, nothing gained." Téa added, showing her skills and flexibility as she pulled her left leg up, passing it over her head, before setting it down and asking. "So what did you have planned for my visit?"
"I was thinking we do whatever you wanted." Yugi replied in a continued friendly tone, which made Téa smile at his kindness and gentle nature.
"So long as it isn't too girly." Joey added as he and Tristan returned, having broken from their fight, where Téa sighed at Joey's tough guy persona, but she also smiled at it, having missed his brashness.
"If I might suggest, there is a new display at the Domino Museum that I think you would be interested in." Yugi then offered, intriguing Téa as she asked. "And what would that be?"
"It's the seven Millennium items. After Kaiba was done trying to bring Atem back from the spirit world, he donated the items to the museum." Yugi replied, which filled Téa with joy at the chance to see the Millennium items, namely the Millennium Puzzle, the same item Atem kept his spirit stored within.
"Somehow I doubt Kaiba donated the Millennium items." Joey commented as he crossed his arms, speaking his mind and expressing his views with a doubtfulness. "Kaiba and donate just don't seem to fit in the same sentence."
"But it wouldn't hurt to check the Millennium Items out again." The blond then admitted with a smile, he too showing he missed Atem.
"That's the spirit." Yugi said happily, walking over to the baggage claim, where the King of Games added. "Once we get Tea's belongings, we can head on over."
"Looks like we might need to make a few trips before we go anywhere." Tristan commented as he noticed the wide assortment of bags that belonged to Tea, wondering how the brunette managed to get all her luggage aboard the plane to begin with.
"Don't worry about, Tea." Joey spoke up, catching his friend's attention, where the group saw Joey withdrawing Tea's bags, before the blond then said. "You and Yugi go on ahead and we'll catch up."
From Joey's selfless gesture, a trait of which Téa had missed a little more out of the blond when compared to the other fragments of personality that made up Joey Wheeler, Téa smiled as she approached Joey and set her arms around him, hugging him once again.
"Thank you, Joey. That's very sweet of you." Téa said as she remained hugging Joey, who shook off the praise and replied with a modesty in his voice. "Oh, it's nothing."
"Hey, what am I, chopped liver?" Tristan questioned, feeling a little annoyed and left out, which continued to bring a smile to Tea's face, at how her friends continued to act, flaws and all.
"Shall we, Yugi?" Téa then asked as she held out her hand, the action causing Yugi to smile as he took Tea's hand into his own and began to walk off with the brunette, heading out of the airport and making their way to the museum, while leaving Joey and Tristan to round up the last of Tea's belongings.
-Sometime later-
Still recalling the location of the museum, Téa needed no help as she made her way through Domino City, soon arriving at the entrance alongside Yugi, where the pair made their way inside and headed to the latest exhibit, finding that amongst the various items and rarities of Egypt, in the centre of the room and behind a glass casing were the seven Millennium items.
"Well, there it is, the Millennium Puzzle." Yugi said, glad to see it again, but also a little solmen to know that Atem no longer resided within, feelings Téa shared as she gazed at the Millennium Puzzle, feeling a compelling desire to press her hand against the glass, as if to reach out and to receive a response from their old friend.
However, upon making contact with the glass, the Millennium Puzzle began to glow, seeming to react to Tea, where the brunette began to feel something was off, feeling a sudden lightheadedness taking her, feeling she was losing herself as her eyes dulled and she sunk into a dark and unconscious state.
.
.
.
Unsure how long she had been out, Téa gave a small groan as she regained consciousness, rubbing her head a little as she began to awaken.
"My head... What happened...?" Téa let out as she slowly rose to her feet, remembering how she had examined the Millennium Puzzle, before things just seemed to turn into a haze.
However, as the haziness in her head continued to ware off, Téa could feel something was off, where she looked down at herself, blushing deeply as she saw she was back in the harem girl outfit she wore in her dreams.
Blushing at her change in clothing and reacting on instinct, Téa covered herself, covering her chest and her crotch areas as best she could, before she cried out. "Why do I keep having these dreams?"
While Téa remained in her stunned state, finding she was back in the same throne room from her previous dreams, a sudden, though playful, chuckle filled the room, causing Téa to scan the area, searching for the other person in the room.
"Whose there!?" Téa called, demanding an answer, before watching as a massive cloud of smoke appeared several feet before her, where Mana stepped out, expressing a continued cheerfulness on her face.
"It's you." Téa let out, recalling the young magician, before she had to ask. "Why do you keep giving me these dreams?"
"Dreams?" Mana asked as a puzzled expression appeared on her face, changing quickly to her usual cheerfulness as she said. "These aren't dreams, silly, these are the memories of your past."
Confused, Téa relaxed her body a little, before asking. "My past?"
"That's right. Just like Yugi is the reincarnation of Pharaoh Atem, you are the reincarnation of Teana." Mana replied, before she got deeper into details and explained. "Teana was the love of Pharaoh Atem's life, even before he became Pharaoh, she loved him with all of her heart and all of her body. And when Atem became Pharaoh, she remained devoted to him, knowing that even though Atem would be allowed more than one woman to claim as his own, Teana would always be his first love."
From what Mana had told her, Téa continued to blush, amazed to learn that her dreams were actually visions of her incarnation showing her love to Atem with the other women he longed for.
But still puzzled, Téa asked. "So why did you bring me here?"
"Simple. I brought you here to fulfil your destiny and follow Teana's example through serving Yugi." Mana replied as if it was no big deal, feelings Téa didn't share as she reacted with a loud. "What!?"
"While fragments of my old memories and love for Atem are bound within the Millennium Puzzle, I can use you as my new body, return to the living world and fulfil my duties, where we will serve Yugi as our new Master/Pharaoh." Mana declared, continuing to shock Téa at the young magician's ideas.
"Listen, I like Yugi, but there is no way I'm letting you brainwash me into some mindless palace girl for Yugi to command." Téa said back with defiance, where Mana gave a cute and confused expression, before she asked. "Who said anything about brainwashing you?"
"I am only helping you achieve your true path, to help you see how happy you will be if you give yourself to Yugi and serve him as I plan to do." Mana then said in reply, still believing she was only trying to help Tea.
"But if you still refuse to accept your fate, I know the perfect way to help you accept your destiny." Mana then said, bringing up her left arm and revealing her DiaDhank, the original copy of the Duel Disc Kaiba came to create.
And looking at her arm, seeing she too had her own DiaDhank, Téa drew hers' up, finding it had notable changes compared to both the ones used against Zorc and the designs Kaiba had made, finding that the DiaDhank had a set spot holding a Deck, where she gained a serious and focused expression, drawing the top five Cards from the top of her Deck and calling alongside Mana. "Let's Duel!"
Starting Scores
Mana: 4000
Téa: 4000
Following in Téa's stead, Mana drew the top five Cards from her DiaDhank, drawing a sixth as she decided to make the first move.
"To kick this Duel of fate off, I play the Spell: Star Force. By paying 1000 Life Points, I can reduce the Level of Monster in my hand by two." Mana said, activating her Spell Card, before giving off a peppy grin as she placed a Monster Card on her DiaDhank, where she announced. "Now I Summon Dark Magician Girl!" (ATK: 2000)
With her signature Monster placed on her DiaDhank, the sweet and kindhearted Spellcaster appeared before Mana, giving off the same enthusiastic aura as her Summoner, ready to fight and enlighten Téa to her true destiny.
But before she could, Dark Magician Girl knew she would have to wait until Téa made her move.
Putting her trust in Dark magician Girl and in her Cards, Mana then said. "I end with three Cards Face-down."
"Then it's my move. I draw!" Téa called as she drew, refusing to accept the fate Mana had offered her as she showed both her Dueling skills and her refusal.
"I play my own Spell: Double Summon. And as the name implies, I can play two Monsters this round instead of one." Téa informed, placing two Monster Cards on herDiaDhank, where she then announced. "So I Summon Fire Princess and Shining Friendship! (ATK: 1500) (ATK: 1400)
From Téa's call, a silver haired woman clad in red robes and wielding a staff made of wood appeared before Téa, which was followed by a petite angelic Monster, both confusing Mana as she pointed out. "You might want to check your moves. Those Monsters are nowhere as powerful as Dark Magician Girl."
"Thanks, but I know exactly what I'm doing." Téa said back, drawing out another Card from her hand and immediately activating its power, leaving Mana in further confusion as she saw Dark Magician Girl shine with a silver light, her outfit fading and changing to a pure white flowing gown, which the Spellcaster couldn't help but pose in, finding the outfit made her look cuter than before.
"If you're confused, I use the Spell: Forbidden Dress." Téa called, leaving Mana puzzled, where Téa then explained. "It's forbidden because any Monster that wears it not only loses their abilities, but 600 Attack Points are reduced from that Monster this round."
Too distracted in admiring her new attire, the Dark Magician Girl failed to notice her loss of power, her Attack reduced to 1400.
And with Mana's Monster now weaker, Téa drew her right hand out as she let out with a mighty call. "Fire Princess, Attack Dark Magician Girl!"
Reacting to Téa's command, Fire Princess drew her staff out, igniting the tip in a great conflagration, which she then released toward the Dark Magician Girl, the feel of the great heat breaking the Spellcaster from her admiration of the white garment and causing panic to fill her at the oncoming inferno.
And unable to save Dark Magician Girl, Mana groaned as the remaining power of Fire Princess' blaze struck her, dealing 100 Points of Damage.
"And now it's your turn." Téa called to her second Monster, where she commanded. "Shining Friendship, Attack Mana directly!"
Acting quickly to Téa's voice, the angelic Monster gathered light energy within its tiny hands, which it then threw at Mana, striking her in the chest and causing her to groan as her Life Points dropped to 1500.
And with what Mana lost in Life Points, Téa quickly gained as she activated another Quick-Play Spell, announcing to Mana. "I play Sebek's Blessing! Now I gain Life Points equal to the damage you just took."
As her Spell Card took effect, taking the 1400 Attack out of Mana's Life Points, flickers of light rained down upon Téa, causing her to give off a relaxed sigh, feeling the restorative abilities of her Spell taking effect.
However, remaining focused, Téa returned her attention to Mana and told her. "And thanks to Fire Princess' special ability, whenever I gain Life Points, you automatically take 500 more points of damage."
With Téa's words, Mana groaned as the flames around her rose, dealing further Damage to her Life Points, the sight causing Téa to cross her arms and look at Mana with a continued seriousness.
"Looks like your so-called destiny wasn't meant to be." Téa then commented as she placed the final Card in her hand face-down, ending her turn.
"It might've started off a little rocky, but I guarantee you will see things my way." Mana said back, drawing from the top of her DiaDhank, refusing to give up in her Duel or on Téa.
Current Life Points
LP: 5500
LP: 1000
Looking at the Card she just drew, Mana smiled, knowing that this Card could help her greatly.
"I play Card of Sanctity, and thanks to the magics of this Card, we both draw until we each hold six Cards in our hands." Mana informed as she played her Spell Card, drawing five new Cards, while Téa drew six, leaving both women pleased with what they had drawn.
But continuing in her turn, Mana then placed a Monster Card on her DiaDhank and announcing. "Come to the Field, Magicians' Souls!"
Appearing before Mana, a spirit-like version of the Dark Magician Girl appeared, where Téa noticed its lack of Attack Power.
"0 Attack Points?" She asked, which made Mana grin.
"What Magicians' Souls lacks in power, it more than makes up for in a very special ability. By sending this Card to the Graveyard, I can bring back Dark Magician Girl." Mana said, sending the Monster Card to the Graveyard, where the spirit-like form of Dark Magician Girl took a more relaxed stance as life returned to her, regaining her physical form as she took her rightful place before her Summoner.
And back from the dark void of the Graveyard, Dark Magician Girl gained a serious and stern expression, ready to pay back those who had Destroyed her last round.
With Dark Magician Girl back, Téa braced herself, expecting Mana to declare an Attack on her Monsters, only to see the young magician activate her DiaDhank, revealing the Face-down on the far left.
"I play Dark Burning Attack, and with this mighty Spell, Dark Magician Girl gains the ability to destroy all the Monsters on your field." Mana said as her Spell took effect, causing Dark Magician Girl to gather a great surge of magical energy in her sceptre, before throwing it at Téa's side of the Field, causing Téa to shield herself as her Monsters shattered to pieces from the great and devastating power of Mana's Spell Card.
With Fire Princess and Shining Friendship both shattered to bits, it left Téa open to a direct attack.
"Now it's your turn, Téa! Dark Burning Attack!" Mana called to her Dark Magician Girl, who nodded, before she gathered up a second surge of magic, throwing a secondary pink sphere of energy directly at Téa.
However, the attack came to a sudden halt as a deep blue energy barrier formed around Téa, absorbing Dark Magician Girl's attack, where she and Mana were left confused, before Mana noticed Téa's Face-down had been activated.
"With the power of my Hallowed Life Barrier Trap Card, all the Damage I would've taken this round is reduced to 0." Téa said, discarding one of her Cards in order to allow her Trap to take effect.
And though she had failed to Damage Téa, Mana still smiled.
"Not bad. Yugi has taught you how to Duel pretty good, but you still don't want to be with him." She commented with a remaining confused tone.
"I want to be with Yugi, but only as a friend." Téa said back, though inside, there was part of her that felt a strange pang at the mere suggestion of friendship.
"After all the time you've gotten to know Yugi, you just want to be his friend? Don't you want more, don't you want to be with a man who obviously cares about you, who will treat you with nothing but love and respect?" Mana questioned, leaving Téa silent, part of her questioning herself and her true feelings for Yugi, before the young magician spoke up. "Well have it your way. I end my turn."
Current Life Points
LP: 5500
LP: 1000
Though Téa remained at the advantage in terms of Life Points, Mana's words continued to distract her.
'Why can't I focus?' Téa thought as she looked at the Cards in her hand. 'I do like Yugi, but do I like him as more than a friend? He has always been there for me, he's kind, sweet, brave.'
'Not to mention the years have given him a great body.' Téa heard a voice say in her head, sounding like her own, only it contained a more lacy desire within it, causing the dancer's cheeks to flush as the mental image of a shitless Yugi came to her mind.
"Everything ok?" Mana called, breaking Téa from her distracting thoughts, where she refocused on her Duel, drew the top Card from her Deck and made her move.
"I play one Monster in Defence Mode and end with two Cards Face-down." Téa said, going on the defensive and placing the Cards on her DiaDhank, causing a Face-down Monster to appear before her, alongside a pair of Face-downs.
Drawing and starting her move, Mana started off by playing another Spellcaster, announcing with a cheerful voice. "I Summon Chocolate Magician Girl!" (ATK: 1600)
Placing her new Monster on her DiaDhank, a female figure similar to the Dark Magician Girl appeared, only she had long turquoise blue hair that flowed down her back, her outfit was a darker shade of blue compared to the Dark Magician Girls, while a set of blue fiend-like wings sprouted from her back.
But just as Dark Magician Girl, upon being called to the Field, she too gave a cute pose before she took a more alert stance, awaiting Mana's commands.
"But before I do anything else, I activate the Spell Card: Giant Trunade, returning all Spell and Trap Cards to our hands!" Mana called, activating her Spell and causing a great wind to fill the throne room, blowing away Mana and Téa's Face-down Cards.
From what the situation she was put in, Téa gave a frustrated groan, now knowing that with her Face-downs back in her hand, her Monster was left vulnerable.
"Ok, Dark Magician Girl, Attack Téa's Monster!" Mana commanded, playing it safe and using her more powerful of magicians to strike first, where the Dark Magician Girl gathered up her energy and cast it off her sceptre, revealing Téa's Monster and Destroying it due to its lack of Defensive power, noticing that the Monster she just Destroyed only had 100 Defence Points.
However, upon the destruction of Téa's Monster, which Mana briefly saw as a small squirrel-like creature, all of a sudden, two more Face-down Monsters appeared on Téa's side, which surprised and confused Mana, that was until Téa cleared things up.
"The Monster you Attacked was Nimble Momonga, and when he's taken down in Battle, not only do I get an extra 1000 Life Points, but I can Summon two more Momongas from my Deck to take his place." The dancer informed, smiling as her Life Points rose to 7500, while her defences were further fortified.
From Téa's Monster and its ability, Mana was impressed and a little frustrated, knowing it she Attacked again, Téa would gain more Life Points, but leaving two Monsters on her Field could be a mistake.
"Chocolate Magician Girl, Attack!" Mana then commanded, causing her second magician to nod in reply and obey the order as she draw out her own sceptre and released a stream of light blue energy, Destroying the Nimble Momonga on Téa's left.
But with another Nimble Momanga taken down, Tea gained another 1000 Life Points, further boosting her power, though Mana didn't seem to mind.
And with no more Monsters left to Attack, Mana placed her two Face-downs back on the Field, ending her turn.
Current Scores

Drawing as she started off her turn, Téa smiled, seeing she had the Cards she needed to win, where she started off by playing a mighty Spell Card.
"I activate Tribute Burial. Now by Banishing one Monster from my Graveyard and one from yours', I can bring out one of my most strongest Monsters." Téa informed, causing the spirit forms of Fire Princess and Mana's Magician's Souls to emerge from the dark void of the Graveyard and appear before Téa, where they were to be offered up by the brunette and sacrificed to being forth Téa' new Monster, causing a powerful stream of flames and light to uprise before the brunette as her Monster appeared, revealing a great and mighty being, wielding the elements of light and fire as one, where Téa announced. "I Summon Master Hyperion!" (ATK: 2700)
At the appearance of Téa's Monster, a reflection of her faith and her power, Mana was impressed, causing her to remark. "Now that's a Monster."
"You haven't seen anything." Tea said back, removing Shining Friendship from her DiaDhank and telling Mana. "By Banishing Shining Friendship, Master Hyperion can Destroy any Card on the Field, so say goodbye to your Face-down."
Pointing to the Face-down behind Dark Magician Girl, the flames and the light energies around Master Hyperion intensified, turning into a stream of energy that shot through Mana's Face-down, revealing it to be the Trap Card: Magician's Circle, before it shattered to bits.
At seeing Magician's Circle vanquished, Téa commented with a small smile. "Too bad. I bet that Trap could've come in handy."
"So long as I have my Monsters and faith in my Cards, I'm still in this Duel." Mana said in reply, her dedication and determination inspiring to Téa, which quickly faded as she held up another Spell Card.
"Not for long, because I play Darkworld Shackles." Téa said, activating the Spell and causing a series of chains to shoot out from the ground around Dark Magician Girl, wrapping around and binding the Spellcaster, who groaned at the chains restricting her.
"Dark Magician Girl!" Mana called in concern for her Monster, seeing the distress of the Spellcaster, while Téa remained in her confident mood.
"So long as this Equip Spell remains upon Dark Magician Girl, not only does she lose her ability to Attack or Defend, but her Attack is cut down to a mere 100 Points." The dancer informed, watching alongside Mana as Dark magician Girl continued to groan, feeling her power almost drained from her, leaving her with only 100 Attack Points left to her name.
And with Dark Magician Girl near powerless, Téa readied her final Attack.
"Master Hyperion, Attack Dark Magician Girl and show Mana that her fate was wrong!" She then commanded, causing Master Hyperion to react, where the Fairy Type Monster surged with light and flame, releasing its power at the bound form of the Dark Magician Girl, who closed her eyes in fear, believing she was going to meet her end once again.
However, Mana quickly reacted.
"Fate has done everything I expected, even allowing me to keep one of my most powerful Spell Cards around. I play Secrets of Dark Magic!" She called, revealing her first Face-down, which not only caused Master Hyperion's Attack to fade away, but for a set of rings of powerful dark magic to circle around Chocolate Magician Girl and Dark Magician Girl, who felt the power of Mana's Spell and broke through the shackles that bound her, before the set of magicians turned into forms of pure energy, confusing Téa at what powers Mana's Spell possessed.
"By fusing Dark Magician Girl and Chocolate Magician Girl, I can Summon a new magician, a Spellcaster of great power." Mana declared, just as the set of rings became one, fusing Dark Magician Girl and Chocolate Magician Girl, filling the entire throne room with a great surge dark and powerful energy as the two Monsters became one.
"Behold, The Dark Magicians!" (ATK: 2800) Mana declared as the dark energies died down, astonishing Téa to see that standing before Mana was the Dark Magician Girl, but by her side was a spirit-like form of the Dark Magician.
At the sight of the new Dark Magician Monster, Téa was amazed, but she remained focused, knowing she had to vanquish Mana's Monster and stop the young magician's misguided views.
"Not bad, but like Yugi also taught be, be prepared for your opponent, which is why I activate Ego Boost, which raises Master Hyperion's power by 1000 Points!" Téa called, activating the Quick-Play Spell from her hand and raising Master Hyperion's Attack to 3700, giving it the power needed to wipe out Mana's Monster as it cast off a secondary Attack.
"Since you played a Spell Card, I can activate the magics of the Dark Magicians!" Mana retaliated as she quickly drew the top Card from her Deck, just as her Monster was blasted by the combination of light and flame, consuming Mana's side of the Field, where Téa believed she had finally won.
However, she was left in shock and awe to see Mana not only had 100 Life Points remaining, but her Monster was surrounded by a dark mist and remained on the Field, causing Téa to let out a stumbling. "But how...?"
"When you played your Ego Boost Spell, it allowed me to draw one Card. And thanks to my new Spellcaster's power, whenever I draw a Spell or Trap Card, I can activate them, even if it's during your turn." Mana replied, revealing that on her Field was the Trap: Black Illusion.
"With Black Illusion, so long as I have a Spellcaster with at least 2000 Attack Points, it cannot be Destroyed this turn." Mana explained, frustrating Téa and leaving her groaning a little as she placed her Face-downs back on the Field, awaiting Mana's retaliation.
Current Scores
Mana: 100
Téa: 8500
Her smile returning to her face, Mana drew her next Card and made her move.
"You're not the only one who can use Equip Cards." She declared, revealing an Equip Card of her own.
"With Megamorph, since my Life Points are lower than yours', this doubles my Monster's Attack power." She informed, Equipping her Spell to the Dark Magicians. (ATK: 2800 → 5600)
At seeing Mana's Monster possessing over 5000 Attack Points, Téa backed away a little, knowing that with such power, it was going to hurt.
"Double Dark Magic Attack!" Mana let out, causing Dark Magician Girl to nod as she took the lead, drawing up her sceptre and charging it with her dark magics, which was quickly followed by the spirt form of the Dark Magician, before both cast off the combined dark energies, forming into one great surge of power, which headed straight for Téa's Monster.
"From my hand, I activate the special ability of Apprentice Illusion Magician!" Mana suddenly called, displaying another Spellcaster Monster Card, which she then discarded from her hand.
"By discarding Apprentice Illusion Magician, I give her power to The Dark Magicians this round." Mana informed, just as the spirit of Apprentice Illusion Magician appeared on the Field and flew within the Attack of The Dark Magicians, increasing its power by 2000 more Points. (ATK: 5600 → 7600)
With the added power, not only did The Dark Magicians wipe out Téa's Monster, shattering it to bits with its extreme dark magic, but the remaining power came into contact with Téa's being, knocking her back and to the ground, where she groaned from the Damage, taking 4900 Points of Damage and leaving on remaining with 3600 Life Points.
"That was a good move..." Téa confessed as she got to her feet, where she declared with a continued determination and defiance in her voice. "But it will take more than that to beat me and make me accept your destiny."
"I know, that's why I had this set up." Mana replied with a giggle, activating her final Face-down, shocking Téa at the Quick-Play Spell Card, where Mana then announced. "I play De-Fusion to break down The Dark Magicians and bring back Dark Magician Girl and Chocolate Magician Girl."
Disengaging their fused form, the set of Spellcasters returned before Mana, shocking Téa to see Mana had planned her moves so far ahead, stunned that Mana had lead the Duel up to this very moment.
And with the two up Spellcasters now against her, their combined power the exact amount needed to finish her off, Téa knew that at Mana's call, both would Attack.
Looking at her Face-downs, knowing she had set Shock Reborn and Battle Restart, should she activate the Traps when Mana ordered her Attacks, then Mana would lose, the Duel would be hers'.
However, there was something inside of her, something stirring and telling her not to use her Cards.
'I want to win... to prove Mana wrong, right?' Téa asked herself, wondering what was preventing her, what was bringing her doubts.
'That other me... my past life... she seemed so happy, so content serving Atem, it's... it's like how I feel when I'm with Yugi and... and I can feel that way all the time if I lose, if I accept Mana's offer... I...'
"Alright, my Magician Girls, Attack!" Téa heard Mana call, looking vacantly as she saw both Spellcasters gather a combination of pink and blue energy within their sceptres, ready to fire and end the Duel.
'Accept our fate and be with Yugi. Be with the one you were meant to be with.' Téa heard Teana's voice in her head, just before turning to see the spirit form of her past life by her side, looking at her with a trusting smile.
And finally accepting the words, accepting her feelings, Téa lowered her arms, allowing Dark Magician Girl and Chocolate Magician Girl a clear Attack upon her, both striking the dancer with their respective energies and reducing Téa's Life Points to 0, ending the Duel, where she sunk to her knees as a distant expression appeared on her face.
Ending scores
Mana: 100
Téa: 0
With the Duel over, knowing Téa had the chance to change her destiny, but knowing she had finally agreed to her true fate, Mana smiled.
"Are you ready to accept your true purpose in life, Téa?" The young magician asked as she knelt before the brunette, using her magic to summon a golden collar that bore the Millennium symbol in her right hand, keeping the collar in her hand as she had to ask before going further in her plans. "Do you accept my offer, to be by Yugi's side, to serve him as you served Atem five thousand years ago?"
"Yes... I accept... to be at his side... to serve him...as I did... in the past..." The brunette replied with a distant smile, which made Mana bubble with joy.
"I knew you would make the right choice." She stated, quickly sliding the collar around Téa's neck, the symbol of her newfound loyalty to her soon-to-be Pharaoh, before Mana sealed Téa's destiny as she moved in and deeply kissed Téa's lips, giggling mentally as the brunette kissed the same way Teana used to kiss her.
But knowing she still had more to do than just enlighten Téa, Mana broke her kiss, looked at the brunette with a smile and said happily. "See you soon, my slave sister."
