Yugi picked up two cards from his hand. "First, I play Monster Reborn to summon back my Curse of Dragon!" He pulled from his graveyard and soon, the skeletal dragon rose again from the field. "Curse of Dragon, destroy her Luster Dragon!"

The dragon shrieked, and launched a fire ball at the Luster Dragon, which disappeared into mid air. The Unknown Duelist raised her arm to protect her eyes as 400 life points also disappeared from her score. But Yugi was not done. "I now place one card face down and end my turn."

The Unknown Duelist smiled. "This will indeed be an interesting duel. I think I have seen this strategy before, though. Good luck, Yugi; because here I come!"

She scanned her hand. Sarai the Dragon Champion rested in her hand, as well as Dragon Treasure and the Celtic Guardian. Trap Hole and Polymerization were face down on the field. If Yugi was going to use Gaia the Dragon Champion, she would have to prepare for the slaughter. "I can't summon Sarai yet. I will save for the finale. I have to keep Ryu safe, though. Curse of Dragon is too strong, and even if I use Dragon Treasure, Ryu won't be strong enough. Come on deck, please don't fail me now!"

The Unknown Duelist hesitated, lifted up a card from her deck, and looked at it. Her hopes lifted. This would help protect her.

"Alright!" She called to Yugi across the arena. "I play Yamadron in Attack Mode!"

Yugi jumped in shock as the tri-drake rose from the field, its skull-like heads eyeing him with annoyance. Flames seemed to surge through its green neck and it roared, waiting for its turn. Frightened yelps sounded from the balcony above.

"I'm not done yet!" She replied. "I play Dragon Treasure to increase Yamadron's attack and defense by 300 points!" The creature's attack soon went from 1600 to 1900, and its defense rose to 2100 from 1800. "By the way, Yugi. Yamadron's special ability is that whenever it comes to the field, it instantly deducts 300 attack points from the monster it attacks, and its heading for your Curse of Dragon!"

"No!" Yugi said. Curse of Dragon was surrounded with a red haze, and its attack points went from 2000 to 1700. Curse of Dragon became the perfect target.

"Now, Yamadron, attack Curse of Dragon!" The Unknown Duelist roared. "Raging Inferno Blast!"

Tea yelled in shock, and Bakura stared as Yugi's strategy was destroyed with a wave of fire. But to everyone's shock, Yugi's life points remained the same, the dragon remained and there was the thin smirk across Yugi's face. The Unknown Duelist did not need to ask why Curse of Dragon still remained, for she noticed that his face-down card was gone. She asked instead, "What card was that?"

He simply held it up. The Unknown Duelist smiled as well. "I forgot you had Mirror Force as well. I applaud your skill."

Pegasus reached with his Millenium Eye into the Unknown Duelist's mind. "Let's see what plan she has to counter this." He thought. But when he tried, a wave of mental strength slammed him away. He almost let out a cry but managed to keep quiet.

"What is the meaning of this?" Pegasus roared into the blackness of the girl's mind. "Why can't I enter?"

"Stay out of my mind, Pegasus!" The girl's mental voice roared back. "You will not toy with my mind for your own entertainment! You know why I am here, give him back to me!"

"Kaiba stays with me, Sana Moto, until I am done my little game."

"Your game is a ploy of madness! People have died for your goal! I will not lose, and you will suffer!"

Pegasus stepped out of her mind and grinned. He had touched a nerve. Her play would definitely change. For the better or for the worse, he didn't know, but the game would definitely be disrupted.

Sorry it's taking so long to update. It's hard to write out good duels, and I have exams coming up so I'll try to get it done soon.
