Metamorphosis

"GYAAAAAAAAHHHH" yuugi screams out in pain "this is impossible.... How could I lose?!" "It's simple: even though your puzzle allots you the ability to change probability in your favor, to analyze the situation, and prepare a counter, in essence giving you the ability of perfect tactics, your deck was lacking in one thing.... sufficient power. Using the millennium eye I won from bakura, I was able to read your mind before our duel. I knew every card in your deck and was prepared for every combo." explains khalfani "and as the terms of our duel you must hand over all your millennium items. And your god cards" upon winning the puzzle, necklace, rod and ring as well as the 3 god cards, Khalfani became almost invincible. Possessing 5 of the 7 items when he met up with the 5,000-year-old protector of the millennium items, shaadi, he expected a confrontation. However shaadi simply weighed his heart with the scale and read his mind with the ankh. Upon doing this, he removed the ankh and gave both his millennium items to the new pharaoh khalfani. This was 12 years ago, and a lot has changed. Even shaadi did not know how the items would change khalfani.

"We move out tonight! Gather your men arm them all with decks we leave no one alive!" shouted khalfani gathering his army for an assault on the resistance, a group dedicated to bringing down khalfani.

His army suits up putting on high strength armor to protect them from attack and placing modified duel disks on their arms. Once prepared, the army stands at the ready and awaits a speech from khalfani before mobilizing.

"Khalfani walks up to the stand the ankh, puzzle, and ring clattering together as he walks. He walks up to the stand calm and collected with the rod in his hand."

"Today..."begins khalfani "today we stand on the verge of a new age, an age where no longer must we hide our face in fear, an age of prosperity and freedom, An age where the leaders of old are gone. Where no longer will countries send their people to fight against other countries over money. No more will we live in a world where greed is the greatest common denominator where fathers pimp out their own daughters to put food on the table, where children are sold into slavery to a man who cares as much for their well being as he does for pack mule. No more must we suffer lies of politicians who will say whatever it takes to stay in office so that they can use taxpayers' money to buy that limo and go party. We will reshape this world into a modern day utopia. With this strike we wash away problems of old and usher in a new golden era of prosperity and growth. Let this strike be the last act of violence the world will ever see and let them all come together and crawl from the filth and darkness of the old world and into the light! When you fight you do not fight for me but for you! And for them! And for the entire world!" the crowd cheers loudly. "Now go show the resistance the light!"

The army mobilizes by helicopter, by jeep, and by tanks. Upon arrival the resistance was expecting them. A fireball comes streaming from the heavens knocking the helicopter out of the sky. The men evacuate before the helicopter spirals out of control and explodes on the ground. The downed troops summon dragons on the way down and continue forewords. The land-based units summon millennium shields with raregold armor attached to them. All the fireballs hit the shields and are deflected back at the dragons firing them.

At the front of the line rides khalfani on his motorcycle. "Keep the line!" shouts khalfani over the speaker "I suspected they would have duel disks that's why we all have them too" moments later the troops surround the complex. The troops line up in formation and all summon their strongest monsters. Millions of strong monsters stand in line and at the ready. As khalfani gives the order, the monsters all attack and are met by the resistance army consisting of only tens of thousands of monsters. A fierce battle ensues, attacks going left and right and then while the monsters are pre-occupied, the troops enter the complex. Upon enter the complex khalfani's necklace activates and he sees a man behind him jump out and shoot him. Upon seeing this, he decides to shoot him first with the rod then the necklace shows him doing this and being shot by a sniper. So the puzzle activates and gives him the tactic to win in this he takes control of the sniper, shoots the man who jumps out to shoot khalfani and then shoots 6 others before activating a grenade and blowing up the main gas pipe near him and taking out the building he was posted on. In a matter of an hour the fighting has stopped the resistance members that did not surrender were dead. 5,000 in all 200 were captured and used as mind slaves. They leave with the decks of the resistance members and the positions of all the resistance bases around the world.

"Did you see the power of those items he carries around?" says one of the members of khalfani's army "yea it isn't fair that he gets all that power and all we get are decks of monster." "I have a plan I'll steal them while he sleeps and we can split them evenly" "don't do it he will know" "don't worry about that if we stick together and follow the plan, he will never know " later that week they have a group of people going along with it and they prepare to drug khalfani at the dinner so he cant stop them from stealing the items. However with his mind reading ability he knew of their plan and switched out the food and drinks. Later that night the main leader sneaks into khalfani's room and reaches for the rod. The rod glows and khalfani grabs his hand. The leader gasps and jumps back "but how can this be you should be out like a light" "oh like Dave? Yes I knew about your plans and I switched my food with his. So you desire you get my items. I guess no one told you that a millennium item cannot be taken; only won in game. SA! Geemu wo jikan da! Yami no Geemu. Soshite kyou ha YAMI NO CHESSU! (Now its time to play a game! a game of darkness. and today it is chess of darkness") the room fades away and they appear in the middle of nowhere on a large chessboard "I as the king stand in the white king position, and you as the would-be king stand in the black king position. Now we need pieces" all the mutineers stand beside the black king and the most loyal stand beside the white king. "Now when a piece is taken, that person's soul is lost forever and the rest is simply chess. If you need to see the field from a different angle a display will appear in front of you and you may change the view as you wish. Now its my move" the chess match goes on for some time khalfani taking 7 people for every 1 he looses his main objective seems to be the complete annihilation of the black forces with the puzzle and eye he sees every move the opponent wishes to make and prepares for it. "Checkmate" says khalfani as the betrayer screams in anguish and shrivels down to no more than another echo in the shadow realm. The bodies of the betrayers are disposed of and the knowledge of their existence erased.

The next day the base is up in arms as a massive explosion blows a hole in 4-a through 6-d the alarms are blaring and emergency lights are flashing "THE REBELS ARE ATTACKING!" proclaims commander 3rd rank Joel Watson "EVERYONE PREPARE COUNTER ATTACK SUIT UP AND GET ARMED! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" the troops scurry about suiting up in armor and dawning duel disks "BLACK MAGICIAN! BLACK MAGIC ATTACK!" yells a familiar voice. The right wall explodes causing all the soldiers in the area to turn, send out a monster, and draw their assault rifles. As the smoke clears two people emerge one small and one tall.

"Could this be?" says khalfani "hold your fire" "is that you yuugi!?" Yami and yuugi walk out from the smoke and debris "what is the meaning of this attack" yells khalfani "I cannot allow you to continue what you're doing khalfani" "oh I see it now... YOU HAVE BEEN LEADING THE RESISTANCE ALL ALONG!? WHY!?"LEADING THE RESISTANCE ALL ALONG? WHY?"
