[hider=The Destined Hero Fights the Dragon: Megumi VS Cecile (Part 1)]
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.

[b][u]Turn 1: Cécile [/u][/b] 
Cécile: 4000 LP / 5 cards
Megumi: 4000 LP / 5 cards

"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!"

[b][u]Turn 2: Megumi [/u][/b] 
Cécile: 4000 LP / 2 cards : 1 monster / 2 Spells/Traps
Megumi: 4000 LP / 6 cards

"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.

[b][u]Turn 3: Cecile [/u][/b] 
Cécile: 4000 LP / 3 cards : 2 Spells/Traps
Megumi: 4000 LP / 2 cards : 1 monster / 2 Spells/Traps

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.

[b]Red-Eyes Black Dragon:[/b] 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.

[b]Red-Eyes Black Dragon:[/b] 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.

[b]Megumi:[/b] 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.

[b]Megumi:[/b] 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.

"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.
