Ok, here's chapter 2 of "Judgement of Cyberspace." It continues where it left off with Kaiba dueling my guy, Kyle. The duel will end in this chapter, but who will prevail, and with that Altar of Mist card, what is Kyle planning to bring on? Let's find out.

"I swear to it, Kaiba. Once my strategy is completed, I'll have the unbeatable advantage in this duel. And in two more turns, my Altar of Mist will work its magic, allowing me to add either a ritual monster or magic card from my deck straight to my hand."

"Are you done with your ranting on yet, Kyle? Because like I said, it's really starting to bug me. You may be a powerful duelist, but nobody but Yugi can defeat me!"

"We'll see."

"My move!" Kaiba drew his card. "Now I'll play my Card of Demise magic card. This let's me draw 5 new cards, but in 5 turns, I have to send every card I'm holding to my graveyard." Kaiba smiled at his new hand. "Looks like I'm off to a better start than before."

"Well, then get on with it."

"Now I summon my Lord of Dragons, in defense mode."

Lord of D: ATK: 1200 DEF: 1100.

A man wearing a white and purple dragon suit, with a big, purple cape, appeared on a giant card, in defense mode.

"Now I think I'll also play this card: Flute of Summoning Dragons!"

In the Lord of Dragons' hands, a gold dragon shaped flute appeared, and he played it.

"Now I can summon any two dragons I want from my hand, but there's only one I need: My creature of destruction, my all powerful Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

Blue Eyes White Dragon: ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500.

Kaiba's trademark card appeared behind him. A giant dragon, with dark blue eyes, scales white as a daytime sky, and giant wings on its back appeared behind him.

"By playing Flute of Summoning Dragons and Card of Demise, you've increased Des Volstgalph's attack strength by 400."

"Big deal. Your Des Volstgalph is still weaker than my Blue Eyes. Now Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack Des Volstgalph with white lightning!"

Blue Eyes charged up a sky blue blast in its mouth and then blasted Des Volstgalph off the field.

Kaiba: 2200 Kyle: 2200.

"With your only monster gone, I'll end my turn."

"All right. My move!" Kyle drew. "Now I activate Graceful Charity. I now draw three cards and then discard two." Kyle did so. "Now I play Pot of Greed. This let's me draw two more cards. Excellent!"

"I take it you got a good card?" Kaiba asked without care.

"More than one. I begin by banishing Des Volstgalph from the graveyard, then I can special summon the Rock Spirit."

The Rock Spirit: ATK: 1700 DEF: 1000.

A gladiator with a red vest, and a silver helmet, shoulder pads, and arm gauntlets appeared on the field.

"But that was only a special summon, so now I'll play a card you did earlier: Cost Down!" Kyle held up the card for Kaiba to see. "As your well aware, it takes the level of every monster in my hand down by two. And I only have one card left in my hand. Now I sacrifice my Rock Spirit, and summon something stronger. It should look familiar to you, considering you're fascinated with this card. I summon the mighty Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

Then a Blue Eyes appeared behind Kyle.

Kaiba gasped in shock at it, along with Yugi and the others.

"But I thought Kaiba had all those cards," Yugi spoke out.

"He used to have the only ones there were, but now Blue Eyes is a common card, Yugi," Kyle responded. "Now my Blue Eyes, attack Kaiba's Lord of Dragons!"

Kyle's dragon charged up a blue darker blue lightning blast in its mouth, then blasted the Lord of Dragons.

"Luckily your Lord of D was in defense mode, so your life points are safe, Kaiba. For now anyway. Right now we're completely even. We've both got 2200 life points left, and one Blue Eyes White Dragon."

"Yeah, but I have three in my deck, and I doubt you put three in your deck, Kyle!"

"Didn't have to. I only really needed one, plus I have my own secret weapon waiting in my deck somewhere, and it's ready to cause your destruction."

"Not if I stop it. My turn. Now I'll activate this card, Rain of Mercy." Then it started to sprinkle down rain and mist on the playing field. "It gives us both an extra 1000 life points. Now wasn't that nice of me to give your life points a boost?"

Kaiba: 3200 LP Kyle: 3200 LP.

"I think I'll end it there. Back to you, Kyle."

Kyle drew his card. "I play another Pot of Greed. I now draw two more cards." Kyle grinned at what he drew. "Looks to me like your luck is running out Kaiba. I'll play this face down till the time comes to activate it. And you also know what else happens now. Altar of Mist, do your thing."

The Altar of Mist started to glow silver and Kyle searched his deck. "Excellent. This card was so close to the bottom, I'd never have been able to draw it. For now, I'll activate this. Roll of Fate!"

A card with two people, back to back, and a six sided die in the middle, appeared. Then an arm with a blue sleeve came out of the card, holding a six sided die, then tossed it.

"I roll a six sided die, and whatever I roll, I can draw that many cards."

The die rolled and moved almost all the way to Kaiba's side of the field when it stopped on a six.

"Yes! Now I draw six more cards, and I also send the top six cards of my deck to the graveyard. Next I'll activate this card. It's called the Inexperienced Spy. It lets me see your hand and take one card."

Kaiba's cards then got revealed in holographic forms. He had Spear Dragon, Dragon Treasure, and Return from the Different Dimension.

"I think I'll take that Return from the Different Dimension card of yours."

Kaiba took it out of his hand, then through it to Kyle, who shuffled it in his hand.

"To top it off, I'll place two more cards face down, that's all for now."

"I don't get it. Why didn't he take my Dragon Treasure card?" Kaiba thought to himself. "He could've used it to power up his Blue Eyes and destroy mine. What is he planning?!" Kaiba looked back up and drew his card. "I'll start by activating my Dragon Treasure card. It gives my Blue Eyes 300 more attack and defense points."

Blue Eyes White Dragon: ATK: 3300 DEF: 2800.

"Now, Blue Eyes. Destroy his dragon with white lighting!"

Blue Eyes charged up another blast and then fired at Kyle's Blue Eyes.

"Not so fast. Activate Dimensionhole!" Kyle flipped one of his face down cards, and a portal opened and it pulled his Blue Eyes White Dragon in, making Kaiba's attack miss.

"What was that?!" Kaiba asked.

"Thanks to my magic card, it got my dragon off the field and since your dragon's attack target was no longer there, it missed."

"My turn is done."

"And now my Blue Eyes returns."

The portal of the Dimensionhole opened back up and Kyle's Blue Eyes returned to the field.

Kyle drew and then he looked confidentially at his new card. "Yes! This is it! My strategy is completed. I activate Soul Release! It lets me take up to five cards from either our graveyards, and banish them. And I think I'll take these from my graveyard." Kyle held out three cards; Giga Tech Wolf, Gil Garth, and Sea Serpent Warrior of Darkness.

"Why did you just remove your own cards?" Kaiba asked confused.

"Did you forget about the card I got from you already. "I reveal faced down number 2: Return from the Different Dimension! I give up half of my life points to play it, and I return all my banished monsters."

Kaiba: 3200 LP Kyle: 1600 LP.

"Now return to me, Des Volstgalph, Gil Garth, Giga Tech wolf, and Sea Serpent Warrior of Darkness!"

Giga Tech Wolf: ATK: 1200 DEF: 1400.

Sea Serpent Warrior of Darkness: ATK: 1800 DEF:1500.

"All right, Kyle. Tell me! What are you planning!" Kaiba demanded. "Why did you banish your own monsters, then bring them all back? I know that those monsters can't be used for a fusion summon."

"Not fusion, but a ritual. As soon as I play this: Scroll of Bewitchment. It lets me change the attribute of one of my monsters. So I think I'll turn Blue Eyes from a monster of light, to wind."

"Wait a minute. Earth, darkness, wind, fire, and water. That's five different attributes. Is that last faced down card what I think it is?!"

"Sounds like you are starting to get it. You're about to get your answer right now. Activate Dragon Revival Ritual!"

"You remember that card, don't ya, Yuge?" Joey asked.

"I sure do, Joey. The last time we all saw that, was when you and I went up against the Big 5. They succeeded in their strategy. Now, thanks to all those cards Kyle just played, he succeeded, too."

"I sacrifice all 5 of my monsters, to call forth my ultimate creature. My beast of destruction. The card I told you would lead to your destruction. Rise mighty Five Headed Dragon!"

Five Headed Dragon: ATK: 5000 DEF: 5000.

The five monsters all turned into a flashing color of light, and then went behind Kyle, and turned into a big ball of the light. Then the light burst into a brighter purple one, and when it faded, Kyle's monster was standing behind him; The Five Headed Dragon.

"Unfortunately Five Headed Dragon can't attack the turn he's summoned, but he does destroy all cards you control!"

The dragon let out a bellowing roar, and its winds destroyed Kaiba's Blue Eyes White Dragon.

"And thanks to its other ability, it can't be destroyed by a monster who's attribute is wind, earth, fire, darkness, or water. That means even your Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon couldn't stand up to it. I'll just place one card faced down, and end my turn."

Kaiba drew. "I'll lay one card faced down and summon my Spear Dragon in defense mode."

Spear Dragon: ATK: 1900 DEF: 0.

A blue and yellow dragon appeared in defensive mode, sitting on a giant card, on Kaiba's side.

"I end it there."

"That's it? Oh, that's right. That's all you can do is defend. Or can you?"

"What do you mean?" Kaiba asked confused.

"I begin by switching my Five Headed Dragon into defense mode," and his dragon bent down lightly. "But he won't stay in defense mode for long, and neither will your Spear Dragon."

"What?"

"Must I keep repeating myself? I'm activating my faced down card. Go, Zero Gravity!"

Kyle's trap card flipped and on it there were five people, floating in mid-air, while trapped in a green light.

"This trap card switches the battle positions of all our monsters, so both our dragons are switched to attack mode."

Spear Dragon flew up off the card and faced Five Headed Dragon, who raised back up.

"Now Five Headed Dragon, attack his Spear Dragon!"

The five heads of Five Headed Dragon each charged up a blast in their mouths, in colors of yellow, red, green, purple, and blue.

The dragons heads all shot their blasts at once, and it blasted Spear Dragon off the field.

Kaiba: 100 LP Kyle: 1600 LP.

"Impossible!" Kaiba thought to himself. "He almost wiped me out completely!"

"Did you guys just see that?!" Joey exclaimed.

"One more attack and Kaiba loses the duel," Serenity spoke out.

"Kaiba really needs to trust in the heart of the cards more than before," said Yugi. "Otherwise, he's finished."

"My turn is done. And now its been 5 turns since you played Card of Demise. You know what that means, Kaiba," said Kyle.

Kaiba drew his card, then tossed out his whole hand.

"You have no cards left. So you have no monsters left to summon. You're through!"

"Not yet I'm not! Did you forget about my faced down card already, Kyle? Activate Card of Sanctity."

His card revealed and its design was it raining down gold coins on two men.

"It lets us both draw until we're holding 6 cards."

And both the men drew their cards.

"I hope you haven't forgotten what I told you, Kyle. I've got the perfect strategy to beat you. And it all begins with this card: Silent Doom." Kaiba held out a card with a hand shooting a white light out of it. "It lets me bring back my fallen Blue Eyes and summon it in defense mode." And the Blue Eyes White Dragon came back, with its wings covering itself. "Next I'll play this. Activate Polymerization!" He raised another magic card in the air, where two monsters were circling each other around and around. "I'll fuse the Blue Eyes I have on the field, and the two that are in my hand."

The Blue Eyes flew up followed by two more, and then they started to glow yellow.

"I fuse them all together, and summon the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"

Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon: ATK: 4500 DEF: 3800.

And then all three dragons morphed together and created the even bigger, three headed Blue Eyes White Dragon.

"Maybe you didn't hear me before. Even your Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon can't stand up to my Five Headed Dragon."

"Not yet. But once I play this last magic card. Go, Megamorph!"

Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon started to glow gold, and his size enlarged by twice his own.

"When my life points are lower than yours, Megamorph doubles my monster's attack strength."

Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon: ATK: 9000 DEF: 3800.

"No!" Kyle said through gritted teeth. "Not only is his dragon a monster of light, but now it has enough power to wipe me out!"

"You've never been more right, Kyle. Now, Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack Five Headed Dragon with neutron blast!"

The three heads all charged up sky blue lightning blasts in their mouths, then fired at Five Headed Dragon.

The light of the blast hit and engulfed Five Headed Dragon in light.

"No! Not my dragon!" yelled Kyle.

The blast destroyed the Five Headed Dragon, and it went right towards Kyle, and knocked him to the ground.

Kaiba started to laugh loudly.

Kaiba: 100 LP Kyle: 0 LP.

"And with that our duel is done," said Kaiba.

The holograms all disappeared and Kaiba deactivated his duel disk.

"Are you all right, Kyle?" Yugi ran over to him, along with Joey and Serenity.

"That...was...AWESOME!" Kyle yelled out. "That was the best duel I've ever fought in my life."

"I must say, Kyle. I like your dueling tactics," said Kaiba.

"Wait a minute, rich boy. Are you being nice to him?" Joey asked.

"I like his dueling ways, Wheeler. I'd say he was right. He is tough to beat. I don't even think you could beat him, Yugi. None of you could. He's almost as unbeatable as I am,"

"Thanks. That means a lot you'd say that, Kaiba," Kyle said getting up.

"Keep in contact with me. I may have some things I'll need you for sooner or later," Kaiba turned his back and walked off.

"I can't believe that rich boy was actually trying ta be nice to ya, Kyle," said Joey.

"That was amazing, Kyle. You almost had Kaiba beat," Yugi exclaimed.

"I told him I'm a professional. I think I might have what it takes to beat the King of Games."

"Wanna find that out?" Yugi asked.

"You're speaking my language, kid."

"All right. But let's take this into the town square. If I know Kaiba, he doesn't want any of us around for another minute."

"Good idea."

"So, Kyle," Serenity came and walked next to him. "Where did you get that card?"

"I've been trying to find it for months. I once bought a pack of Duel Monsters cards, and it had that Dragon Revival Ritual. So I started to make a search for Five Headed Dragon, and I vowed I wouldn't stop until I found it. And just yesterday I did."

"What was that you said about Blue Eyes being a common card?" asked Yugi.

"After leaving the card shop where I found the Five Headed Dragon, I was heading to an old pick up truck I used to drive, but thanks to Kaiba I was able to replace that junk heap. I was going back to my truck, then a few trucks from Industrial Illusions went by. One lost a few boxes, and every box was full of Blue Eyes White Dragon cards. And I took one to Kaiba, he gave me 400 grand for it. That's how I was able to replace my junk truck."

They all walked into the elevator and hit Kyle hit the button to go back down to the lobby.

"Um, Kyle?" asked Serenity.

"Hmm?" Kyle replied.

"I was wondering, since you're a professional duelist, what do you think it takes to become a professional? I keep asking a bunch of people, and Yugi and my brother tell me heart."

"Well. In my mind, a duelist is only as strong as their cards. And to actually be a professional, you need to have complete trust and great respect for your cards. The stronger that trust is, the better you'll be."

"So you also have a belief in the heart of the cards. If so that makes you a great duelist, Kyle," said Yugi.

"Something like that, yes."

"Do you think I can become a professional like you?" Serenity asked again.

"Show me your deck."

Serenity reached into her left pocket, pulled out her deck, and gave it to Kyle, who started going through it.

"Not bad," said Kyle. "Fire Princess, Command Angel, Horn of Light, Princess of Tsurugi, Marie the Fallen One, St Joan. Guardian Angel Joan." He gave Serenity her deck back. "Here. Add this to your deck." He gave Serenity a card.

"A Seiyaryu card?"

"It's a powerful one. Might be a helpful card."

"Thank you."

The elevator finally reached the bottom floor, and they left the Kaiba Corp building.

Kyle started to walk towards a different pick up truck. One that was a shinier color of red, charcoal black tires, chrome rims, it was a four door truck, and it was in a lot better truck.

"We're not all gonna fit in my car," Duke spoke out.

"A few of you can ride with me," said Kyle.

"Serenity and I will come," said Joey.

"I'll also come," said Tea. "I'm not gonna listen to Duke and Tristan arguing constantly about Serenity."

"No eating in my truck though, Joey. I just bought her yesterday."

"Yesterday?" Yugi asked.

"What else do you think I did with that money Kaiba gave me? Come on, get in."

Tea, Joey, and Serenity followed Kyle, and Joey put Serenity up front with Kyle, and he and Tea got in the backseats."

"This is nice," said Serenity.

"You like it?" Kyle asked as the other two got in.

"The seats are so soft," said Tea, while rubbing on the fabric of the seats.

"If you'd seen my junk truck, you'd all probably be admiring it even more. The seats in the other one were falling apart, and the junk heap was rusted."

Kyle started up the engine, making it roar like a wild cat.

"It's as if a beast has been released into the city," said Kyle, rubbing on the dashboard.

On the outside, Yugi, Tristan, and Duke, piled into his car, and then both vehicles drove off.

Back up in his office, Kaiba was at his desk and doing work on his computer.

He tried to run something and get into a program on there, until something popped up.

"Access denied," said a voice from the computer as it also brought up in red, the word "ACCESS DENIED."

"That's strange. Why won't it let me in?" Kaiba asked himself. And he tried to run the program again.

"Access denied," the computer said again.

"What's going on with our Kaiba Corp system, Seto?" asked Mokuba.

"It's probably just a glitch." Kaiba then picked up his phone. "Roland. Run a bypass sequence for the Kaiba Corp computer systems."

"Yes, sir, Mr. Kaiba."

Something on the computer system started to load and then it started to run Kaiba's program.

"There. Our bypass sequence worked. But just in case it happens again, I'd better reinforce the firewall."

"What do you think that was?"

"It didn't do any damage to the system by the looks of it, but I still don't trust what happened. Which gives me plenty of reason to reinforce the firewall. It'll be strong enough so no outsiders can get in."

"Let's hope so, big brother," Mokuba had a worried tone in his voice.

Down in the town square, near a café, Kyle and Yugi were in the center of the place, and were shuffling each other's cards.

"Ready to find out if you can beat the king of games, Kyle?" asked the spiky haired boy.

"I've been ready for this for a long time, Yugi. You have no idea how long I wanted to duel Yugi Muto, the king of games."

"It must be a great pleasure for you."

"You have no clue."

"I warn you though, Kyle. When on the verge of losing a duel, and when all hope seems lost, I've always pulled through thanks to my friends. Along with an old, and very special friend of mine." Yugi was thinking of the pharaoh. "I know you're still with me, Pharaoh. So let's do this together like we always have." And in his mind, he was standing there, in complete blackness, and by his side was the pharaoh.

Yugi snapped back to reality, and he and Kyle gave each other their decks back, then walked in opposite directions, while the to others sat at the cafe's tables, watching from the sidelines.

Kyle and Yugi put their decks into the duel disk's slots, then activated them.

Kyle: 4000 LP Yugi: 4000 LP.

"Let's duel!"

Okay. Sorry to end it before another duel, but in Yugioh, that's just the way it is. And I know Five Headed Dragon is originally a fusion monster and not ritual, but it did start off as a ritual monster, so I figured why not leave it like that. I wish it was a ritual monster in reality, or at least needed the five attributes it has to fusion summon, instead of having to use 5 dragon monsters. So how did you like that. Kyle was so close to beating Kaiba, but Kaiba and his heart of the cards. And as for the last chapter, there's just no convincing him to believe in the ancient magic. Oh, well, Kaiba will be Kaiba. Please read, review, and enjoy.
