AN. Here is the first Duel I've ever written so take it for what it's worth. I don't think it turned out too bad but it is a little tricky to follow.
Pre-duel
11:45 - Mokuba waited in the stands of the arena with Yugi, Joey, and Tea. He had called them to see if they possibly had any clue on what was going on, which they didn't.
"Marik seemed to have turned over a new leaf so this must have happened before we fixed his disposition," Yugi added to the conversation pile.
"Your too trusting man. Maybe we need to go and teach that fake what turning a new leaf means," Joey lashed back.
"Maybe they love each other and this Maxum doesn't understand." Tea tried to sound sincere.
"No that's not it, this guy lost her in a duel, she is a prisoner under duel contract." Mokuba corrected
"So why are we letting you duel him little buddy?" Joey asked the question all of them where thinking but scared to ask.
"So Seto can see the card, help the girl and get one of the most powerful cards on earth," Mokuba stated like fact.
"Well, look who's come to join the party," Joey added with slight loathing in his voice.
Kaiba walked up with a box in his hands with all the supplies they needed for the duel scheduled to start in 7 minutes.
"Where is Mr. Rare and powerful card?" Kaiba asked glancing at his watch. "Well speak of the devil." Kaiba added as Maxum walked up with his cape clean of dust and a single card in his hand. As the group saw it they all became silent. Mokuba came down the stairs and Maxum showed him the card.
"There's nothing written on it, how do I know how it works?" Mokuba asked.
"She'll tell you." Maxum answered not caring to explain himself. Maxum and Mokuba walked up to Kaiba. Kaiba handed Mokuba a deck and then handed Maxum one. They were starter decks still in the packaging. The boys opened the starter decks in absolute silence even the viewers were silent. Maxum took out the card and the silence seemed to swallow them whole. He put it in the deck he was holding and shuffled. Mokuba shuffled his deck as well. Then they shook hands and traded decks then walked to their respective sides of the dueling arena. Mokuba looked at Yugi. Yugi gave him a thumbs-up.
Joey broke the silence by shouting, "Good luck Mokuba."
Kaiba just stared at Joey shutting him up. He watched his little brother step up to the dueling ring against a complete stranger all by himself.
"I'm not as good a duelist as I use to be but I can still give you a run until you put that card out. I'm pretty sure she will side with you," Maxum said trying to ease the uncomfortable tension in the arena.
"Who is she?" Mokuba asked trying to place all of Maxum's references.
"The girl in your head, I know all about it," Maxum answered in an all-knowing scary voice. Mokuba started to feel uneasy and began to sweat.
Don't worry little Mokuba just focus he's trying to rattle you
But I'm all alone I've never dueled alone
Your not alone, I'll help if you need it
Who are you?
That's a matter for later, right now have fun you will win this duel. It's in Maxum's best interest to lose, but make it look good. You will play until my card comes out, then comes the real fun.
The Duel (Mokuba vs. Maxum)The duel was a counting up duel one of the firsts in Kaiba Corps. Data banks. The first one Kaiba himself was going to witness.
Kaiba flips the coin to see who goes first.
"Heads" Mokuba called."Heads it is, Mokuba goes first," Kaiba said into his microphone so the crowd could hear. Both the Duelists picked up 5 cards.
"I'll play 2 cards face down and Neo the Magic Swordsman in attack mode (1700)." Mokuba stated all his moves as he made them.
"I play 2 cards face down and 1 card face down in defense mode," Maxum countered.
"I play Harpie's Brother in attack mode (1800) and attack your face down monster with Neo the Magic Swordsman. "
"My face down monster is Mystical Elf with a Def. of 2000 you gain 300 life points." Maxum called out almost happily.
"I sacrifice my elf for my summoned skull in attack mode (2500)." Maxum smiles openly.
"I play one monster face down and add 2 face down cards." Mokuba solidly states with no change in his cool tone his brother had taught him to keep up during a duel.
"I'll attack your face down card with Summoned skull."
"My face down Monster is Mystical Elf (2000) and I flip 2 of my face down Castle Walls Trap cards adding 1000 to my Mystical Elf's Def. points. So you gain 500 life points." Mokuba smiled knowing he had now taken a slim lead.

Back to the story
"I sacrifice all 3 of my monsters for The Spirit Card." Mokuba yelled. Everyone was silent except the voice in his head
Now comes the fun Mokuba
The crowd was silent as the arena lit up and great sphere of light came to the center of the ring from all the collected light. Everyone's eyes were on it as it spun around; even Kaiba watched it closely. Then it began to take form. It was… a little girl so small and innocent-like and beautiful like a porcelain doll with golden hair pulled up in a bun, matching her beautiful her red velvet dress, almost like a nightgown, loose but beautiful. Mokuba went to put her in attack mode but it refused to move. Since when did a card have a mind of its own?
Trust me. I know this card better than I know myself.
"I'll leave this in defense mode (100 / 200) and pass my turn." Mokuba said and caught everyone off guard. They thought he would attack and end the duel even if the card was weak it had to have a badass special effect.
"Well I'll take my chances and play my Dark Curtain. For a little of my unimportant life points, I can summon any higher starred monsters from my hand. I choose my Winged Weaver in Attack mode (2850). Next I'll attack your little girl with my Summoned Skull." Maxum made all his moves like a pro. Suddenly something happened in the arena, Summoned Skull started to light up, its attack power dropped to 100, as did Winged Weaver. The "little girl's" attack power went up first by 2400 then by 2750 making her a total of 5250 attack points strong. Maxum gained 100 life points for attacking a monster stronger then his .
Mokuba when she is attacked she steals all of the monsters attack points until they are where she started as long as she was in defense mode when attacked
Mokuba repeated what the voice had said to the audience, and made himself sound like a genius; even Kaiba looked surprised.
She can also attack as many times as she'd like for 500 life points
"My "little" girl will attack your Winged Weaver raising you to 6750 life points. Also for only 500 of my life points she can attack as many more times as she would like." Mokuba almost shouted completely enjoying his moment in the spotlight, as the duel came to an over killing end.
