Nagisa's Delicious Scheme
By Misterebony
 
 
Nagisa was tired of other girls trying to take away her man, Kamue. She belonged to HER and HER alone, and no one else should come close! Only SHE had the strength to control him, and she meant to keep it that way, becasue they were gonna get married wether he wanted to or not.
 
Becasue she OWNED him, and no one else could have him.
 
Then along came that Sendou girl, Emi. Nagisa almost threw up even thinking of her name. Kamue saw her one day and she stole his heart, the manstealer! She was gonna pay.
 
And thanks to some research she had done, she would, once and for all. then NOTHING would get between her and Kamue ever again.
 
********************
 
"With Blazer Idols support, my Top Idol Pacifica attacks! And thanks to her skill, I will add 3000 power to her attack!"
 
Everyone watched as Emi Sandou, a young girl and sister to now legendary cardfighter Aichi, took on one of the strongest in the city, Toshiki Kai. He hmmed and gave a tiny smile as the little girl gave her relentless assult, and now they were tied at five damage. The next hit decided it.
 
But the weilder of Narukami was not beaten so easily. Brown haired and often silent in all forms, he came alive in a cardfight, like a sleeping giant ready to strike out.
 
"Zephyr Kid will guard, and I'll have Sheildblade Dragoon intercept. And with his skill, he gains 5000 defense."
 
Emi did the math. She had boosted her Vanguard by 2000 , then got a 3000 boost. With her opponent guarding for 30000, she would need two triggers. She did the twin drive.
 
"First check...." She revealed Cooking Caspi! "YEs! Draw Trigger! I add 5000 to my Vanguard! And the second...."
 
Everyone went wide eyed. WOuld she pull it off? She pulled the card just as the front door of he shop slid open, and a voice screamed out.
 
"EMI SENDOU!!!!!" The whiny voice said. The audiance covered their ears, turning as a little blonde haired girl dressed like a pirate stomped in, her face a mask of anger. Emi knew her as Nagisa, Goki's little sister who was always trying to catch Kamue. She thought it was cute how they played around. But the look on this girl's face clearly showed she was in no mood to play. She dropped her second drive check on the fight table and approached.
 
"What is..."
 
"SHUT IT!" Nagisa screamed, scaring most of the audiance... but not Emi. "You. Me. Cardfight. TOmorrow at the werehouse on 7th. Unless your too scared to fight me manstealer."
 
Emi normally wouldn't accept a challenge like this, but she was angry now. She stared at Nagisa with a feirce look. "Bring it. We go NOW." She said simply, Kai chuckling nearby.
 
"But.... the fight isn't over!" Someone in the audiance said. But Kai merely showed the drive trigger that Emi pulled.
 
It was a critical.
 
"Oh it was over." Kai said with a smile. "Besdies, this will be an intresting match. I may tag along."
 
Nagisa glared. "No, just Emi comes or the fight is off and I automatically win. If she is too scared to come alone, then she has no right hanging out with my Kamue!"
 
Emi huffed. So that was what this was about. She never understood Nagisa's unjustified hatred of her, especially where Kamue was concerned. She never made any moves on him, and she sure never had him for a boyfriend like Nagisa did. But she would NOT be told who she could and could NOT be friends with. Without another word, she grabbed her deck and headed for the door, Nagisa blinking some.
 
"Well, are we going?!" Emi said. Nagisa gave a grin that would scare the devil.
 
'She took the bait.' She said simply, licking her lips. Revenge would taste soooooooo sweet.
 
And maybe a little crispy.
 
***********************
 
Nagisa took Emi to one of the shadier places in town, known for underground fights in Vanguard. It was also known for a series of dissapearences, ones police never solved over the years. At the center of the mystery was a mysterious factory, which seemed normal at first glance. Indeed, Emi didn't suspect a thing as they went up to it. Nagisa however knew its secret, one that dated to the age of fairy tales. Sure the building had changed some over the years but the core idea of it was the same.
 
And the arena inside was perfect for her revenge.
 
"First, you need to say your favorite food in the keypad." Nagisa said, showing Emi a keypad by a large metal door. Nagisa went first, keying in Tempura Shrimp. EMi blinked.
 
"Why?" She asked, but Nagisa growled.
 
"DO IT." She said angrily, making Emi even more so. She stepped forward and keyed in chocolate cupcakes. Nagisa laughed.
 
'So this is who Kamue saw intrest in, some cake eater? What a JOKE!' She grinned evily again, smiling as the door slid open. the two stepped inside, standing on two platforms that moved on a conveyor. Emi eeeped as all of a sudden she felt a vaccumm suck her clothes upward, save her panties, and saw the same happen to Nagisa. Shortly thereafter they paused before two tables that glowed with six circles. It was a Motion Figure System, a three dimensional system meant to make the cardfight come to life.
 
"Now I will finally finish you Emi Sendou!" Nagisa said, licking he rlips, pointing down. Emi did.... and gasped!
 
Below her was a blazing hot pot of tempura batter, boiling and ready for a certain girl to fall in. Emi went wide eyed but said nothing, too much in shock.
 
"Like it? The rules of our fight are simple: the winner eats the loser!" Nagisa laughed. "See, in old days, natives would sometimes eat pirates who intruded on cannibal islands. In the forests of old, witches ate children up in their cooking. Even today people still catch and eat kids, some even from other dimensions! And now I'm gonna eat you Emi, for trying to steal my man!"
 
Emi went wide eyed. "But..... why? Why this?"
 
Nagisa banged her fist on the table. "No more questions!" She shouted. "With each damage you take your platform opens a little more. Then on the sixth damage it opens up and you fall in. But if you deal me the damage first, I fall in." She pointed below, and Emi went wide eyed as she saw a big batch of chocolate cake batter.
 
"And you cannot back out. If you try you lose, and fall in. Understand Emi Manstealer!?"
 
Emi gulped. Nagisa was scaring her now, but she had no choice. Did Aichi feel this way when he fought Ren? She didn't know. All she knew was she was fighting for her life now. If she lost....
 
Emi breathed deeply and calmed down. It was up to her Mermaids now. She held her Grade 0.
 
"STAND UP, VANGUARD!!!"
 
**************************
 
Kai and Aichi, Emi's blue haired older brother, were uneasy about what Nagisa did. They were just glad Kamue was away on a trip and wouldn't know about what was happening. Aichi looked up at Kai.
 
"Why would Nagisa want to fight Emi? Don't they hate each other?"
 
Kai nodded. "Exactly why we need to find out what she has been planning." Kai said, still with that cold expression. "Use your head Aichi. Why would Nagisa fight Emi?"
 
Aichi blinked. "Ummmmmm..."
 
Kai chuckled. "Wow. Your her brother and Kamue's friend and YOU didn't see at all. Your a lot different cardfighting, so sure of yourself then."
 
Aichi hmmmed. "Well, Doesn't Nagisa want Kamue as her husband?"
 
Kai nodded. "Yeah. So much so she would likely be blinded to rage to remove any who got in the way."
 
"But she is just a little kid! A year younger than Kamue I think...."
 
Kai nodded. "And it is the youngest ones who come up with the most wicked ideas. And if my hunch is right, her idea this time is VERY wicked indeed."
 
Aichi went wide eyed. "Kai.... you don't mean...?"
 
"All I know is our losing them when we followed was not a good thing. We HAVE to find that factory. Fortunetly, I know just who to ask."
 
************************
 
Four turns in, and Nagisa was winning easily, having only one damage to Emi's three. She smiled as she attacked.
 
"Supported by Army Lady, Kirara will attack!" She shouted, the image of the magic wand weilding robot leaping at the Bermuda Triangle vaguard, Coral. Emi got firm and drew her guard out.
 
"Timor guards!" She shouted, a lovely angelic mermaid stopping the attack by a series of lazer stars. Nagisa growled and stamped her foot.
 
"You creep! You won't win against me! Your already losing!" Nagisa chuckled then. "And soon, I'll be dipping you in Wasabi and eating you all up!"
 
Emi hmphed. "Not gonna happen!" She stood firm, her body seeming to glow with a golden aura. Nagisa blinked and growled.
 
"Stand and Draw!" Emi shouted. She Hmmmed as she drew her card and smiled. "I ride Shiny Star, Coral!" She shouted, her grade one replaced by an even lovlier version of the superstar mermaid idol. Even with her feirce look she beemed cuteness, from her dainty uniform to her silvery hair. "With Fresh Star in the soul, I add 1000 power to my vanguard, and give her a new ability." She examined her rear guard, her Grade 0's able to support her attacks for now. She was ready.
 
"I call Diva of Clear Waters Izumi on the left and Mermaid Idol Felucca on the right! Using her skill to soul charge!" She glared feircely at her opponent, who seemed angrier than ever.
 
'I don't want to eat her, or see her hurt.' Emi thought to herself. 'but if I don't win, that is exactly what she will do to me! I gotta stop her no matter what!'
 
She focused. "My Felucca attacks first!"
 
Nagisa could have easily guarded the 12000 attack that Emi had boosted, but chose not to. She revealed no trigger.
 
"Now Coral attacks with a boost from Amur!" She hoped this would go through...
 
But...
 
"Twin Blader stops your attack Manstealer, no one gets between me and my love!"
 
Emi went wide eyed, but recomposed herself. "Checking the drive trigger..."
 
She smiled as she saw what it was. "Critical trigger! All effects to Izumi!"
 
She watched as Coral danced around the twin bladed swordsman, who fainted over and dissapeared. Emi focused. "Now, Izumi attacks supported by Caspi!
 
Nagisa growled. Using her guards here would drain her already stretched hand. How was this Mermaid Monster doing it? "No Guard."
 
Izumi slammed Kirara with a fulll on torrent of Koi fish and sparklers, sending the robotic Magician back on her rump. Nagisa hmphed and checked for two damage triggers... but...
 
"First.... no trigger.... second..... HA! Got a Ring Girl Clara! Recover one damage!" She glared at Emi. "See? You can't stop the power of love... or the power of my hunger. My revenge on you will taste delicious!" She licked her drooling lips, and rubbed her growling tummy. Emi gulped. She was really frightened now.
 
***********************
 
ANything to do with criminal activity in Vanguard was known about by the Kings Men, led by the King of Underground Fights, Jun. Aichi and Kai had come to him to learn about this factory that Nagisa mentioned. Jun smiled as he sat on his seat.
 
"The Factory of Feasting? Yeah I know about it. Only a fool would go there." He said. Aichi stepping forward.
 
"Well Nagisa took my sister there! She is having a cardfight there, and I am scared she may hurt her!"
 
Jun got serious. "Hurt her?! Aichi, Nagisa may mean to do more than that..... she may mean to eat her!"
 
Kai blinked. "What?!"
 
Jun Nodded. "It's an old legend, that cardfights in there are that the winner eats the loser, but it has been goping on for a long time. That place has terrible magic associated with it, like your Psyqualia Aichi, but much worse. Many dissaperences in the Underground come from that place."
 
Kai nodded ."How do we stop it?"
 
Jun shook his head. "You can't. Once the fight starts there is no way to stop it. But maybe we can save the loser before it's too late."
 
Aichi blinked. "How?"
 
Jun smiled. "Let's just say I got connections."
 
************************
 
Nagisa drew her card. "All my life since I met Kamue he has loved me truly, but then you show up and steal him away. He promised to marry me, even sealed it with a big kiss!" Nagisa said, clearly a lie but Nagisa wouldn't beliebve otherwise. "And you are in my way. But if I eat you, you won't be in the way anymore. And it's time for you to meet the master chef, the one who will send you to the fryer and make you nice and yummy!"
 
Emi eeped as Nagisa raised her hand high. Dark power flowed from the card as Nagisa laughed evilly.
 
"He slices, he dices, and with he blades he will carve you into sushi for my enjoyment. I ride!!!! GOLD RUTILE!!!!
 
Before Emi faded the magician girl to be replace by a menacing robotic warrior in cobalt armor, weilding a pair of blades made of pure light. She had seen Gold Rutile several times before, but seeing it now fille dher with dread. She shook and sweat a cold sweat. She again glanced at her damage zone, still having three cards. She HAD to survive this turn, she had to!
 
"Call!" Nagisa shouted, placing an Army Guy and Army Lady on the right, and a Death Army Commander on the left in front of Shout. Emi knew this formation meant multiple attacks, and lots of them. Emi knew she was in trouble.
 
"My head chef and his servents are all set to cook you Emi Sendou. LEt's begin the feast." She smiled and turned her Army Commander. "First, Army Commander takes out Izumi!"
 
Emi watched in horror as the mighty robot slammed Izumi into the ground, her screaming the last thing heard before she dissapeared.
 
"With support from Army Guy, Army Lady spices you up for supper." She licks her lips as the robot woman attacks, Emi pulling two cards from her hand.
 
"GUARD!" She shouts, the two grade ones just enough to stop the atack. But there was one to go. Nagisa smiled.
 
"You can't stop love Manstealer." She said, turning GOld Rutile. "TIme to cook some Tempura."
 
Emi held up a single card. "MErmaid Idol Elly nullifies!" She discarded her last card, swallowing nervously. But Nagisa smiled.
 
"Now I got you. Twin drive." She chuckled. "First check.... Cannonball, a Stand Trigger. Giving effects to Shout. and he second..."
 
She smiled as she revealed a copy of Cosmo Lord. "This Grade 3 effects my Death Army. They all stand up one more time. Your done for Emi." She smiled and pointed a single finger at her. "ATTACK!"
 
Emi shouted and recoiled as she was dealt two more damage, putting her at five. She saw below her there wasn't a lot of floor left before she would fall in and become a fried treat for the little member of Team Handsome. Briefly Emi hoped that it wouldn't hurt, that she would fry fast and it would be over with, she wouldn't have to watch Nagisa eat her alive. Emi knew this was it. She had to win this turn or it was all over.
 
She drew her card.... and smiled!
 
"You came to save me!" She said happily, holding her card high! "I know of the power of love, and true love is from all sides! The love you speak of is just commanding someone and not giving them a chance to even speak their minds!"
 
Nagisa growled. "Love meands to honor and obey Manstealer! And Kamue MUST obey me and be my husband!"
 
Emi shook her head. "YOU DON'T KNOW LOVE." She said feircely, making Nagisa flinch. "Love is sharing everyday side by saide, not controlling someone because you will it."
 
"Nagisa whimpered. "But.... He's mine! I get what I want!"
 
Emi hmphed herself. "Your just a spoiled brat who doesn't know a thing." She smiled as her card gave off a serene glow. "Embodiment of pure love and kindness! Bring forth our friends and let's steal the show! TOp Idol Riviere, RIDE!"
 
Replacing Coral was a lovely blonde mermaid who seemed to wear a dark uniform, giggling and posing in a ray of candied hearts. Emi smiled.
 
"Sweet and Charming! Steal the show and show what love really is! She attacks first!"
 
Nagisa eeped as she saw all she had for defense was her stand trigger.
 
"GUARD!"
 
Emi smiled and leaned forward. "TWIN DRIVE!" First check!.... nothing..... and the second...."
 
************************
 
Kai and Aichi stood outside the big factory building, Jun beside them but somewhat nervous.
 
"Kai, this is bad mojo just so you know." Jun said. Kai looked at him with a feirce look.
 
"You sure this is the place?" He said coldly. Jun nodded. "Fine then everyone, on my count, we kick that door."
 
Aichi blinked. "Kick the door?! Kai are you sure?"
 
"You have a better idea?" All was silent. "Alright. One...... Two....."
 
*click*
 
Suddenly the door opened from inside. Aichi and Kai froze, and Jun blinked three times. They looked at one another in silence before walking in. What they saw appeared to be a private dining room, with a fancy table and a single gilded seat before it, all set for a meal.
 
"What is this?" Aichi said. Jun hmmmed as he looked at the place.
 
"Ming Dynasty Jade statues, some depeciting deities of gluttony and feasting. How fitting." He hmmed and revealed a small pill as Kai examined the table.
 
"Been used recently... Not sure by who." Kai turned to Aichi. "We may be too late."
 
Aichi went wide eyed. "Kai please don't say that! The idea of my sister cooked and eaten by-"
 
"STOP!" Jun said, raising a hand. "We are not alone." He pointed at a nearby door. Carefully the three came closer, and ever so slowly, they opened it.
 
*****************************
 
*A few moments earlier*
 
"CRITICAL TRIGGER!" Emi called, Nagisa in shock as the girl held it up. "All effects go to my Vanguard!"
 
Nagisa watched in horror as Gold Rutile was slammed by Riviera's magical song, sending him flying back. She drew two damage triggers.... but pulled nothing.
 
And the moment the second one was placed, the floor beneath her gave way. "NOOOOOOO!" She screamed as she plunged into the delicious cake batter. She tried to get out, but instantly it was carted towards a big oven. Emi gasped and wanted to help her, but she two was being taken away, her floor opening over a shoot.
 
She screamed as she fell down it, sliding along, until she landed perfectly on a big soft throne of a seat, soft music playing overhead. Around her, various statues made of jade and other priceless materials welcomed her, and a pair of ancient machne hands tied a napkin around her neck, then put a crown on her head.
 
"What is going on?" She said, but got her answer as another platform with a covered silver tray came in some time later. Around it was all matter of icings, fruits, and even a bag of whipped cream made from scratch. As the lid was lifted, Emi gasped. For there before her was Nagisa, her head sticking out the top of a giant, mouth watering cupcake, her face flushed as she struggled.
 
Emi said nothing. She felt a strange urge come over her, something primal. This wasn't a cardfighter trapped in that cake. It was food, a delcious filling for HER cupcake. A prize for winning, served and waiting for her.
 
Nagisa knew it too, and struggled even more. "Lemme go! You mean Manstealer!" She shouted, but was proptly silenced as a big, mouthwatering strawberry was shoved in her mouth.
 
"Be quiet. You were gonna eat me." She picked up the chocolate icing first. "Now I get to eat you. You I bet have a real sour taste, so I am going to make you REAL sweet."
 
Nagisa began to cry, not because she was about to be eaten, or even the thought of not seeing Kamue again. She cried because she wasn't getting her way, and she hated it. She watched and pouted as Emi decorated the cupcake artistically, humming a gentle tune as she did, making sure Nagisa looked as girly as a cupcake as could be. She got pink strawberry icing for that, and some sprinkles, and decorated the cake with icing frills and flowers, even a big one on her head. A few strawberries on top for show, and Nagisa was ready to eat. Emi pulled the cupcake closer and took a bite, realizing she got part of Nagisa's arm.
 
Indeed she did taste sour, but it balanced oyut the cupcake easily. Emi licked her lips and began to feast.
 
*************************
 
"EMi?!" Aichi said, shocked by the sight before him. For behind the door was his sister, now a big round smiling ball, licking her chocolate and icing coated lips and rubbing her belly with one hand, wiping her lips wioth the other using a bit of Nagisa's sleeve. Kai even had to chuckle at the sight.
 
"Looks like Nagisa's plan backfired."He said. Jun nodded and went to give Emi the pill.
 
"Now we know about half of the disappearences here.... thing is, usually both duelists vanish. So what happens to the other ones?"
 
Aichi didn't want to think about it. "LEt's get out of here before we find out." He went to move his sister but she shook her head, stunning everyone. Kai blinked.
 
"Emi?" He said.
 
"I need to stay." She said in a scary voice. "He likes me like this."
 
Jun blinked. "Who is he?!" He asked. They looked about foir another form, and froze as a door opened.
 
They were about to get their answer.
 
*************************
 
Later that night, Aichi and Emi's mom sat by the TV, watching some late night shows, smiling as she drank her evening coffee. She sat back and listened to it intently, looking over at a large clock on the wall.
 
"Those kids must be having a good time tonight." She said to herself. "Sure is nice they have so much fun."
 
*************************
 
The three would be heroes struggled as a form rolled and played with the giggling Emi, unaware she was being rolled in tempura batter. Nearby, a roaring fire heated a deep fryer, Emi's destination. Kai could not believe he was seeing a real life version of Phantom Blaster Overlord, but here he was, the dark dragon preparing Emi to eat as if she were nothing but a peice of meat. And with the three tied up, there was no way to save her.
 
"Not rreally used to happy meals." The black dragon said as he tickled the squirming Emi. "But then I have seen it all in my day. For eons I have lured in kids and duelists and even adults to be my food, altering my kitchens to serve the purpose needed." He glanced at the three. "Though I must confess your the first who ever tried to save one of my meals."
 
"Please! Let her go!" Aichi begged. but the dragon shook his head.
 
"I have heard that all too often. No chance."
 
Jun chuckled. "Ok, fine, eat her then, but then you'll lose out." Kai and Aichi went wide eyed at him, but he winked. The dragon hmmmed.
 
"Explain mortal."
 
"Well, haven;t the pickings been kinda slim these days?"
 
The dragon stroked his chin. "Yes, now that you mention it."
 
Jun nodded. "I figured. Well I have connections with a certain multidimensional traveller, a kid who has... special powers."
 
The dragon nodded. "Keep talking."
 
"He gave me a pill I gave to Emi to reform her meal. Now Nagisa would reform soon, but if Emi was eaten.... well you cant have her again."
 
The dragon considered. "Yet if I spare her, I would be found out about, and that would ruin me."
 
JUn nodded. "UNLESS you chose to take those willing for your.... treatment."
 
"Jun... what are you doing?" Kai asked, glaring.
 
"Hush." Jun whispered. "The deal is simple. I have one pilll left. You take it and let us all go, and we won't say a word. You'lll be able to reform your meals, and you'llnever want, and we won't lose two wonderful little girls."
 
The dragon laughed some. "You clearly don't understand how bargaining works. You make a bold deal in the hopes I have a heart and a desire for willing prey. And if I don't?"
 
Jun chuckled. "Well I am not dumb." He smiled some as the dragon looked him over, gasping as he saw a small camera wire on his shoulder. JUN WAS RECORDING EVERYTHING THE WHOLE TIME!
 
"Why you little...!"
 
"Your call dragon. Freedom or trouble."
 
The dragon grinned. He liked these heroes. Brave and resourceful. And if it meant still having Tempura princess.... "Agreed. But on one condition. I eat my meal first."
 
Aichi was about to voice his complaint when Jun nodded. "Agreed." He withdrew another pill and tossed it in the dragons mouth. Emi, still in his claws, then fell into the Tempura fryer, Aichi fainting dead away at the sight, Kai ready to punch Jun for what just happened. but Jun just smiled.
 
"Relax. I always keep my word."
 
Kai sighed and watched as the Tempura girl was fished out and dunked in wasabi, giggling even as the dragon began to chew on her legs, eating the sweet treat slowly.
 
"Hey..... it feels really neat!" Emi said, the dragon smiling. Maybe willing meals were the way to go...
 
************************
 
Aichi and Emi's mom was getting worried as he clock truck midnight, and decided to go looking for them. She knew there were some bad types around and was determined to rescue them, but as she opened the door, there was Emi and Aichi, smiling.
 
"Wha..... You two better explain what happened!!!" The mom shouted, hugging the two, relieved they were okay. Emi smiled.
 
"It's fine mom, we just got playing real late is all. But I am real tired."
 
Their mom blinked as they walked past, chuckling some and shaking her head. Kids these days.
 
Across town, Nagisa bounded into her room, Smiling as she laid in bed. True she didn't get rid of Emi. But reforming to see the dragon chewing the last bits of her up was enough for her. Shame it didn't scare her away from Kamue, but when they went back next week, maybe it would then.
 
Maybe next time she'd have the dragon make Emi into Sushi so SHE could have a bite too!
 
As for the dragon, he sat there before Kai, the duo playing a round of Cardfight into the night, Jun watching and shaking his head.
 
"Really Kai?" He said, Kai smiling as he played his Dragonic Kaiser VErmillion THE BLOOD, the black dragon in shock.
 
"WHAT?! HOW DID....?" He said as he lost. "One more time!"
 
Kai smiled. "Your funeral." He said, shuffling again. It had been a weird day for all involved, one they would all keep secret.
 
Until now.
 
 
THE END.
