Yu-Gi-Oh!

The Fall of Ra

A/N: Try this story's scenario on for size.

Joey Wheeler had never felt so much pain before in his career as a Duelist. The Winged Dragon of Ra was the strongest monster he had ever faced, even in its Egyptian God Phoenix Mode. Every last inch of him felt incinerated by the flames of this beast. However, because Yami Marik had turned the Duel into a Shadow Game, the monsters' attacks were as real as they were.

When the attack ended, Joey thought he was going to fall, right then and there.

Yami Marik expected him to collapse from the immense pain and loss of energy from the onslaught of Ra, and, honestly, he wanted him to fall, for he had no other cards to recall Ra from the Graveyard nor did he have any other cards to defend himself from any possible attacks.

"What?!" He gasped, seeing Joey still standing, partially singed, drained, but still conscious. "Impossible! You should be down for the count!"

"You can do it, Joey!" Tea cheered.

"Save the world!" Yami Yugi encouraged him.

With his breathing raspy, Joey drew a card from his Deck and summoned Gearfried, the Iron Knight to the field in front of him. As it had an offensive factor of eighteen-hundred points, it could deprive Yami Marik of his remaining nine-hundred Life Points.

"Gearfried," he uttered, hoping that he wouldn't pass out from the pain he was in, "attack his Life Points directly."

Gearfried did as ordered, and slashed Yami Marik with its blade, inflicting harm on the Duelist and depriving him of the remainder of his Life Points, ending the Duel in Joey's favor.

"Aaaaauurgh!" Yami Marik howled in pain and fury; with the Duel lost, he couldn't face the Pharaoh and obtain the Millennium Puzzle, and without the remaining Egyptian God Cards, he couldn't achieve his master plans.

And now, without the Winged Dragon of Ra, he was out of the Battle City tournament because of the rare card requirement.

"It's over, Marik," Joey told him, dropping to his knees. "I've won."

This can't be happening! Yami Marik thought.

"He did it!" Tristan and Tea cheered.

"Way to go, Joey!" Serenity cheered.

Joey gave them a weak smile.

Seto and Mokuba Kaiba were phased and impressed, respectively, by Joey being able to defeat the owner of an Egyptian God Card, though Seto considered the Duelist lucky for surviving in his tournament for this long.

A/N: I'll stop here and see what results this will get from being posted. Peace out.
