"Yugi!"
Yugi turned around. Standing in his doorway was Seto Kaiba, the greatest gamer in the world. Next to him, of course. "Oh hello, Kaiba. Looking for a rematch?"
"More than that." Kaiba replied. "I've created the ultimate challenge for you, Yugi! I've hired the Power Nine, the nine greatest gamers beneath me, to defeat you in a duel. If you can defeat them, you'll finally have to fight me for the final time! The loser must give up gaming forever!"
"Heh, this again?" Yugi smirked. "Very well then, I accept your challenge! Bring me the first duelist!"
"Meet me at Kaibaland on Saturday at nine AM." Kaiba replied. "You will be defeated once and for all! Ahahahaha!"
Saturday came, and Yugi arrived at the appointed time, his friends with him. "You can take him no problem, Yugi!" Joey/Jonouchi/J said. "Clean his clock for me, the jerk!"
"I will. He never learns." Yugi said, switching minds with Atem. He entered the building.
Well well, the challenger shows up at last! Kaiba said over the intercom. Excellent! Now the battle can begin! Samneric, you will be the first to duel him!
Yugi and Samneric sat down facing each other at a table. They picked up their game pieces, and prepared everything. Let the games begin!
"G-56."
"B-15."
"B-3."
"O-61."
"Ha!" Samneric laughed. "My tokens have been placed in the Hasphestus Position! Now I'm allowed to place three Blocker Tokens on your card!"
"Oh no!" Yugi gulped.
"And I think I'll choose I-23, N-41, and O-69!"
That counters my strategy, the Memnarch Arrangement! Yugi thought. Truly Samneric is a master gamer!
"I-27."
"N-42."
"N-37."
"B-12."
"G-55."
"O-71."
"I-17."
"O-68."
"I-21."
"B-2."
"G-50."
"N-34."
"The tides have turned!" Yugi said triumphantly. "You were going for the Ryukishin Group, correct? Well no longer! I activate the ability of my Golgari Arrangement! Now I'm allowed to randomly disperse your tokens on my board!"
"Ha!" Samneric countered. "You've failed to notice my Azorius Arrangement! Now I can move each of our free spaces into a place of my choosing! I choose there!"
"Then you didn't realize that I had waited for this the entire time!" Yugi said. "Thanks to your movement of the free spaces, I can use the Vedalken Array!"
"No! Not the Vedalken Array!"
"Yes, the Vedalken Array! It allows me to destroy all tokens on the game boards! But my Dimir Grouping also allows me to spare up to five tokens of my choosing, but only when the Vedalken Array is activated after the Azorius Arrangement is used to counter the Golgari Arrangement! And I spare... your five!"
"Ha, how foolish, Yugi." Samneric replied. "These five tokens are now in the perfect position for me to get the Meloku Arrangement if B-13 gets called!"
"I-19."
"G-48."
"B-5."
"O-71."
"B-13."
"Aha! I win!" Samneric shouted.
"Not so fast!" Yugi shouted back. "Your Meloku Arrangement may activate, but you also have the Hidegetsu and Moroii Positions! Now the conflict between the Hidegetsu and Moroii Positions will cause your game board to catch fire and explode, making you lose instantly!"
"No!" Samneric cried. "How did I miss that?!"
"Victory: Yugi!"
But a shadowy figure watched and laughed. "Heh, he'll never stand up to the power of the Egyptian God Tokens...!"
