What Really Happened...

Solemn Moto looked on in mild annoyance at the boy before him, he kidnapped him and attempted to force him to give away the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, a card so rare that it was rumoured that there were only four left in the world, all four of which were assembled in both his and his opponent's deck. However annoyed he was at Seto Kaiba he knew not to under estimate the World Champion, he would use a slightly different deck than usual, if he were to stand a chance against the boy he would need to put out his A-game and modify his deck slightly, unnoticed by Kaiba he slipped a few cards in and a few cards out of his deck. Kaiba smirked arrogantly "So old man how are you going to give me my Blue-Eyes?" If possible Kaiba's voice grew even more arrogant "Packaged or gift wrapped?" His arrogance was astounding.

"Neither, I will however take your three Blue-Eyes gift wrapped Mr. World champion" Solemn Moto was not generally a man to try and rile up his opponent, however this time he had the excuse of facing the World Champion "You know, I taught my grandson to be polite and honourable during duel's, you aren't even worth the amount of effort I extend talking about back pain!" Kaiba growled in anger, good that meant he was losing his cool; he accelerated this by sticking his tong out and pulling on his eyes.

"Just quit staling old man!" Kaiba was seething in rage by this point "Let's duel, or are you too frail you old codger!" That was the best insult Kaiba was able to muster up? How pitiful.

"Let's Duel!" Kaiba and to a lesser extent Solemn roared out.

Solemn smirked at his luck; he had a Black Luster Ritual, Pot of Greed, Gamma the Magnet Warrior, the left limb of Exodia, Foolish Burial and an oddly appropriate Solemn Warning. "I will be going first!" Solemn Moto's voice echoed through the arena in a tone similar to that of his name "I activate Pot of Greed, now I draw two cards" Solemn looked down at newly drawn Mystic Tomato and Alpha the Magnet Warrior "Furthermore I activate the spell card Foolish Burial, which lets me send one monster from my deck to the graveyard, I choose Marie The Fallen One. I set one card face down and set one card in face down defence mode".

"How pathetic, if that's all you have to offer then you won't last long at all, I summon my Lord of D!" Kaiba sneered in the way only rich teenagers can "And I think I'll have him attack your face down monster, destroy it Lord of D!" As the shards of light hovered up slowly, the teenage mllionare looked on in confusion "What hap-". He was quickly interrupted however.

"It was the special effect of my Mystic Tomato, it lets me special summon one dark monster from my deck with 1500 or less attack and I choose Summoner Monk!" Solemn shouted as the shards reformed into a blue skinned man dressed in robes appeared in front of him.

"That won't save you! I set two cards and end my turn" Kaiba growled in an aggravated tone.

"Wait, did your life points just increase!" Kaiba pointed out.

"Yeah so?" Solemn replied confusedly.

"That's against the rules, you can't do that!" snarled out the young Kaiba.

"Screw the rules; I have Marie the Fallen One!" Grandpa shouted in reply.

"What?" Kaiba replied in utter confusion.

"With my Marie the Fallen One in the Graveyard I gain 200 life-points each turn!" Solemn said calmly.

"Why didn't you just say that then!?" shouted Kaiba in annoyance.

"I... Don't know" The old archaeologist shook his head and drew a card to which he promptly grinned exponentially "Any way I activate my summoner monk's effect and discard Black Luster Ritual to special summon my Beta the Magnet Warrior!" Solemn sighed in tiredness "I then send Alpha and Gamma from my hand to the Graveyard as well as my Beta on the field to summon one of the most powerful cards in all of Duel Monsters..." Kaiba stared in horrified fascination as he recognized the card about to be played, its strength was legendary among the duelling community, few were ever released, and generally only as tournament prizes "Valkyrion The Magna Warrior come forth!" The scattered parts of Beta Alpha and Gamma reformed into a far larger being, a far more intimidating being "Now attack his Lord of D!"

"Hold it right there! I activate the trap card draining shield!" shouted Kaiba.

"I'm chaining Solemn warning, at the price of two thousand life-points, I can negate your trap!"

"No this isn't possible!" Kaoba all but wailed as his life-points went down

"MOKUBA!" Kaiba shouted

"Yeah big brother?" a meek child which Solemn hadn't noticed asked.

"Get some thugs to beat him up and put Kuriboh's in his deck!" Kaiba growled out in a mixture of Angst, Anger and Shame.

"Way ahead of you Big Bro" Mokuba shouted up in reply as several men came up from behind Solemn and clobbered him.

"Oh, not my back!" they started kicking him 'elsewhere' "Ok, Ok, get back to my back! Actualy that feels kinda nice after that last one".
