Chapter 4 – The Duel Monsters' Punishments

''Hum… My name is Sean…'' He didn't know what to say, in front of Solomon, Yugi's grandfather. Then he remembered the fact that he was lost in a place he didn't know much about. ''I was wandering alone here and got lost, could you please show me the way back?''

Solomon stared at him for a moment, and then said, ''Sure, but come on in first. You seem kind of sad and tired.''

''Sad?'' Sean realized that he hadn't even tried to hide the fact that he had just lost a duel that cost his friends a lot of wasted effort. ''It's just… I've disappointed people who were important to me. Not only that, but… I'll never be as good as someone I know as dueling, even though I've put a lot more effort than him, I'm sure of that…''

''Oh, never say that.'' Solomon said. ''If he's better than you, I bet it's because he's spend more time than you at it, or he has sacrificed more than you to get to that point.''

Sean got quiet, and thought about it. Back when they were kids, John's father had given him a special set of cards, which he used to beat another duelist, and a dueling manager saw him, so he wanted to take John and make him a champion. John had to give up on his friends as he never had free time. But turning dark and losing your friends like that… It wasn't the right way.

''Well… He did lose a lot more than me, but… He only believes in his own power and the might of his cards. On the other hand, I'm like the worst duelist in the world'' Sean said gloomily.

''Hum…'' Solomon stared at him deeply. ''You know what I think? If you are the worst duelist, then you need the best training. Follow me.''

Solomon Muto went across the big room that was at the entrance and opened anther one at the other end of the room. There was a big garden, with a dueling field on the middle, but that wasn't what surprised Sean the most. What made Sean think he was the luckiest guy ever was the people dueling there: Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, and Joey Wheeler, the best three duelists in the whole world. When the door was opened, only Yugi turned around; the other two were dueling. Four years after the infamous duel against his alter ego, Atem, he looked exactly like him. When he saw his grandfather, Yugi asked with the same voice Atem used to have, ''Isn't it too soon for dinner, Grandpa?''

''It's not dinner time yet. I've just brought someone I want to train by myself here today, so you're all going to have to take instant ramen for dinner.''

Kaiba looked at him, saying, ''You guys can eat whatever you want, I'm leaving in an hour anyway. I'm just here to train, not to hang out and have a good time when the biggest tournament ever is going to take place soon.''

''Hey Kaiba, if you wanna train, then pay attention to the duel!'' Joey yelled. ''I activate ancient rules, which let me special summon my Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my hand!''

Before he could even put the card in his duel disk, Yugi said:

''No Joey! That's not the way! You're wasting two cards in your hand, and you know people at that tournament will easily take out your Red-Eyes Black Dragon!''

''Then how am I suppose to summon it? Your Gramps gave me so many support cards for it that I don't want to take it off my deck.''

''You send it to the graveyard first.'' Replied Yugi

Kaiba drew a card from his deck, saying, ''Yeah Wheeler, watch this! I activate Trade-In, so I discard my Blue-Eyes White Dragon to draw two cards.''

''That's just stupid Kaiba.'' Joey said bluntly. ''You still have the same number of cards in your hand. You used a spell and then discarded a monster, a total of two cards, just to draw two other cards!''

Kaiba sighed. ''Wheeler… I just sent my Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the graveyard without losing any cards in my hand. That means I can now revive it with my spell card, Silent Doom!''

''Hey Kaiba.'' called him Yugi. ''You could use this card better.'' He threw him a spell card. Seto looked at it.

''Swing of Memories? What kind of dolly kindergartner technique are you trying to make me use?''

''Kaiba, don't underestimate cards just by their looks.'' Yugi warned him.

''Well, since my Blue-Eyes would be destroyed…''

''But remember, there is that Non-Spellcasting Area card in your deck, which makes normal monster unaffected by spell cards''

Seto stopped and thought for a moment. ''I'll consider it. But don't let that go to your head, Yugi.''

''Good.'' Said Yugi. He then turned around and look at his grandfather and Sean. ''What are you guys waiting for? Aren't you going to train?''

''Oh, that kid wants training?'' Joey approached them. ''If you want, you can use this card. But give it back to me, alright?''

Sean looked at the card he had just received from Joey. This couldn't be real. He was going to train with the best duelists in the whole world. Solomon Muto forced him out of his thoughts.

''Hey kid, you'll also need a new deck.''

''I've got one already, thank you.''

''What kind is it?''

''It's a FIRE burn deck…''

Solomon thought for a moment, and then he went to the house to come back in a few seconds with a box. He opened it, and it was full of FIRE and FIRE support cards.

''Wow, this is awesome…'' said Sean amazed by the cards, ''I could beat anyone with this cards.''

Solomon took a stick from the door and hit him in the head with it.

''Ouch!'' Sean yelled. ''That hurt!''

''Of course that hurt, kid! That's what I was aiming for.'' Solomon exclaimed. ''Cards are not great by themselves. The monsters are, but the cards only contain a part of the spirit of the monster. To make that card great, YOU need to be great.''

''Ok, ok. Now, what's the training gonna be about?''

''Well, some theoretical stuff about the game, like damage step cards, Spell Speeds, Nomi, Semi-Nomi, Synchro materials…''

''Ok, but what will our first training be?'' Sean asked.

''Well… we're gonna do a quick 4000 life points duel.'' He said taking out his duel disk. ''We have a lot of types of strategies to cover, so let's make it quick.''

''Uh…'' Sean took out his own duel-disk. ''Alright, here I come!''

Sean:4000 / 5 / 0 / 0 - Solomon:4000 / 5 / 0 / 0

Sean looked at his hand. ''Uh, I'd like to go second with this hand if you don't mind…''

''No!'' Solomon yelled. ''You should always try to go first no matter what. Do you know what card and handadvantage is?''

''Well… Advantage over your opponent with your hand?''

Solomon sighed. ''More or less. It' basically having more cards than your opponent in your hand and field, giving you an advantage over him. If you start, you'll have one more card than your opponent.''

''But then my opponent will draw a card during his turn.'' Sean pointed out.

''Yes, but then they won't have advantage. Then, during your turn, you'll draw a card, and you'll have the advantage. That's why you should always be first.''

Sean looked at his hand. ''So is that what hand advantage is all about?''

''No, kid. Hand advantage leads to field advantage, but you need to be careful not to waste all cards in your hand. Just go ahead and play.''

''Alright, I put three face-down cards and summon Solar Flame Dragon, which will inflict 500 points of damage to you during the end phase.''

Sean:4000 / 2 / 3 / 1 - Solomon:3500 / 5 / 0 / 0

''See?'' Sean asked. ''So much for your so called 'hand advantage', I'm winning now.''

''This kids of now days…'' Solomon muttered as he drew a card.

Sean:4000 / 2 / 3 / 1 - Solomon:3500 / 6 / 0 / 0

''First mistake, you put three face-down cards. That's too many.''

''What? But the limit is five, plus they are all traps, they would do no good in my hand.''

''Kid… This is what hand advantage is all about. I activate the powerful spell card heavy storm, which destroys all spells and traps on the field.'' The three face-down cards Sean had were destroyed by the spell Solomon had just played. ''Now, do the math. I've used one card, Heavy Storm, to destroy three of your cards. In a pro match, that would give me such advantage that some people would just surrender. Of course, in a pro match, no one would put three face-downs without something to protect them. You need to learn.''

Sean:4000 / 2 / 0 / 1 - Solomon:3500 / 5 / 0 / 0

Sean looked at his life points and then he looked at Solomon's life points. ''But… I'm still winning.''

''For the Lord's sake, kid, it doesn't matter if you are winning by life points now! What matter is who wins the duel. It doesn't matter if, during the duel, you were the one with more life points, at the end what matters is who's life points hit 0. And I'm going to show you that by summoning Phantom Beast Wild Horn to the field.''

A two-legged moose with red clothing covering its hips, shoulders, and arms came to the field holding a vicious-looking sword. (1700/0/4/Beast-Warrior/EARTH)

''Next, Sean, I'll teach you something new. It's called graveyard advantage.''

''Graveyard advantage?'' Sean didn't see how the graveyard could serve as an advantage.

''Well, the more cards you have in the graveyard,'' Solomon started to state, ''the more advantage you have, as cards are much easier to retrieve from the graveyard, and some cards work in the graveyard, while other cards work with cards in the graveyard. You also need to know that graveyard advantage sometimes helps hand advantage, as you previously saw from Joey. He tried to summon Red-Eyes from his hand using two cards, the spell to summon it and red-eyes itself. But then Kaiba told his technique about sending his blue-eyes for the cost of a spell to draw two cards, the same two he had lost using his spell and discarding his blue-eyes. That way he had the exact same cards in his hand, but he now had a Blue-Eyes in his graveyard, and he had made his deck thinner.''

Sean thought about what Solomon had just told him, and then the image of he not being able to draw a card and losing came to his head. ''But… wouldn't making your deck thinner be worse? I mean, if you don't have any more cards in your deck, you lose.''

''Sean, if you have a lot of cards in your graveyard, you'll usually win before you run out of cards, trust me. Deck milling your opponent is a flaw that a lot of young duelists make. For example, see the cards that are now spread at you right.''

Sean looked. There were cards all over the floor, which Yugi and the others had probably been testing. At his right, he saw cards that worked with his graveyard: Monster Reincarnation, Call of the Haunted, and even some FIRE support cards, like a card that looked pretty cool and could only be special summon by removing from play a FIRE monster, called Inferno.

''Oh…'' Sean said, ''I see.''

''Good thing that you do, because now I can activate one of Joey's favorite cards, foolish burial. This lets me send one monster from my deck to my graveyard. You see, I just gave up on a card in my hand to send one monster to my graveyard. Hand advantage for graveyard advantage.''

''That makes sense.''

''I hope it does, because a lot of skilled players will use a lot of graveyard advantage. For example, my grandson likes to gain graveyard advantage with card destruction and his Archfiend of Gilferd, even thought he is working in a more sophisticated technique now. Anyways, back on the duel, I send Phantom Beast Cross Wing to my graveyard, which makes all my Phantom beast gain 300 attack points.

Two wings appeared on the back of Wild Horn, making it stronger. (2000/0/4/Beast-Warrior/EARTH)

''Now I attack with my Phantom Beast Wild Horn to your Solar Flare Dragon.'' Solomon said.

The beast slashed the dragon in two with its sword, making the expansive wave hit Sean life points.

Sean:3500/ 2 / 0 / 0 - Solomon:3500 / 3 / 0 / 1

''Now we're even in life points Sean.'' Solomon pointed out. ''But there is one big difference: I have a 2000 attack point monster in my side of the field, while you don't have any.''

''It doesn't matter.'' Sean said drawing a card.

Sean:3500/ 3 / 0 / 0 - Solomon:3500 / 3 / 0 / 1

''As you would say, now I have three cards in my hand while you have four in total, but the field will change quickly.''

Solomon scratched his beard. ''Not bad kid…. You're getting better. But remember, I still have my Cross Wing in my graveyard, and 2000 ATK isn't something you'll beat without giving up one of your cards.''

''You're right Mr. Muto, so I give up my Fissure card to destroy your monster!''

A hole opened below the Phantom Beast and two hands appeared from it, gulping the monster into the underground.

''Next I'll summon my Blazing Inpachi (ATK: 1850) who will attack you directly!''

A flame shot out of one of the Inpachi's hands, hitting Solomon and making him bend.

Sean:3500/ 1 / 0 / 1 - Solomon:1750 / 3 / 0 / 0

''How's that for advantage?'' Sean asked. ''I have a monster and more life points!''

''Sean…'' Solomon said as he drew. ''What do you think hand advantage is for?''

''Uh… for… winning?''

''Well, the thing is that the more cards in hand you have the more possibilities of counter striking you have. But I won't do that right now, I'll just put a face-down monster and end my turn.''

''Ok,'' Sean drew a card and then said,

Sean:3500/ 2 / 0 / 1 - Solomon:1750 / 3 / 0 / 1

''I summon UFO Turtle in attack mode!''

A turtle with a UFO on its back was summoned on the field. (1400/1100/4Machine/FIRE)

''I attack with Blazing Inpachi to your face-down monster!'' Sean said.

''Good job'' Solomon said proudly.

''Huh? Why do you say that?''

Slomon sighed, ''If you attack with the weaker one, if my monster has a flip effect that would destroy another monster, then I would target your stronger monster, so you did good attacking with the strong one.''

''Wouldn't you destroy my stronger monster anyways?''

''Well, I would have a dilemma, because if you have attacked already with your stronger monster, destroying it would leave me open for an attack with the weaker monster.''

''Oh, I see.''

''Well, there is also another reason why you should attack with the strongest monster. That reason is basic: High DEF. Be flipped, Phantom Beast Thunder Pegasus!''

A two-headed horse with the left part of his body red and the right part black was flipped face-up, having electrical tail and wings. (700/2000/4/Beast-Warrior/LIGHT) The flames the Inpachi had thrown were reflected right back at Sean, burning him

Sean:3350/1 / 0 / 2 - Solomon:1750 / 3 / 0 / 1

''Ouch.'' He whined while getting up. ''Why do holograms hurt! I wonder who designed these…''

''Don't be a fool Sean. They hurt because they aren't just holograms, they are actual spirit of actual monsters. The duel-disk just 'reads' those spirits. The more damage you receive, the more it hurts. This is why some people have what it's called shadow games… Well I'd better stop talking now.''

Sean looked at him with incredulity and then said, ''Ok then… I'll end my turn.''

''And I draw.'' Solomon Replied

Sean:1250/1 / 0 / 1 - Solomon:1750 / 4 / 0 / 1

''I sacrifice my Thunder Pegasus to summon Phantom Beast Rock Lizard.''

A four legged monster with a human torso coming out of its horse lower body appeared on the field roaring, its face shape like a lizard and its red body covered in a armor made of rocks, leaving some parts uncovered. Part of its tail as also covered in rocks, and there were a bundle of stones at the back of the horse body.

(2200/2000/7/Beast-Warrior/DARK) (2500/2000/7/Beast-Warrior/DARK)

Solomon looked at its creature proudly and then said: ''My Phantom Beast may be a level 7 monster, but it can be summoned without a tribute by sacrificing a Phantom Beast or a Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts. Plus, it gains a boost thanks to the Phantom Beast Cross Wing in my graveyard and the equip spell card I now activate, Fighting Spirit, which will increase its ATK by 300 for every monster you control and defend my monster from being destroyed by battle once.''

(2500/2000/7/Beast-Warrior/DARK) (3100/2000/7/Beast-Warrior/DARK)

''Wow, that's heavy.'' Commented John.

''If you think that's heavy wait, until you see its effects! Phantom Beast Rock Lizard, attack his UFO Turtle with Mythical Stone Crush!''

The Rock Lizard moved quickly towards the Crater and, before it had a chance to do anything, it got destroyed under lizard's mighty fist.

Sean:1250/1 / 0 / 1 - Solomon:1750 / 2 / 1 / 1

''When my Phantom Beast destroys a monster by battle,'' Solomon said, ''You get 500 more points of damage to your life points.''

Sean looked up at Solomon. ''More damage!''

Stones got shot from the back of the Rock Lizard directly at Sean, hitting him.

Sean:750/1 / 0 / 1 - Solomon:1750 / 2 / 1 / 1

''Oh, stop whining. Didn't it hurt this much when you lost your other match?''

''Not really.'' Sean said standing up after receiving the hit of the rocks. ''That guy milled my deck out, so it didn't hurt. But as you've destroyed my UFO Turtle, I can special summon a FIRE monster with 1500 ATK or less from my deck, like my Ultimate Baseball Kid!''

A little boy with flames in his eyes and a red baseball uniform appeared on the field, holding a dangerous bat in his hand. (500/100/4/Warrior/FIRE) (1500/100/4/Warrior/FIRE)

''As you can see, it gains 1000 attack points for every other FIRE attribute monster on my side of the field.''

''Hum…'' Solomon murmured, ''I can see great combos with that card… But I'll just end my turn now.''

''Alright, I draw.''

Sean:750/2 / 0 / 2 - Solomon:1750 / 2 / 1 / 1

Sean looked at the card he had just drawn and smirked. ''First I activate De-Spell, which lets me destroy your face-up equip spell card!''

The spirit that was surrounding the Rock Lizard got destroyed by the de-spell (3100/2000/7/Beast-Warrior/DARK) (2500/2000/7/Beast-Warrior/DARK)

''Now I'll summon the Great Angus in attack mode!'' An angry crimson beast with yellow eyes and full of scars came to the field breathing fire and burning everything on its way, its red eyes showing anger and madness. (1800/600/4/Beast/FIRE)

Then, the Ultimate Baseball Kid's attack strength started to go up.

(1500/100/4/Warrior/FIRE) (2500/100/4/Warrior/FIRE)

''And now that your Rock Lizard has been weakened, and my monster is been strengthen to its level, it's time to end the duel.''

At the other side of the training field, Yugi said: ''Hey, it's not like that, you're only supposed to say it's time to duel, not it's time to end the duel.''

Sean looked at him ashamed. ''Uh… Sorry.''

Yugi laughed loudly. ''I was just kidding,'' he said, ''play on!''

''Yeah!'' Sean said, filled with bravery. ''I attack with my Ultimate Baseball Kid to your Phantom Beast Rock Lizard!''

''It's no use kid, because I can remove from play my Phantom Beast Thunder Pegasus to negate any damage from this battle and protect my monster from being destroyed.''

The kid bat the Rock Lizard in the head, but a yellow veil protected it, and the Beast counter attacked, destroying it

''And now Phantom Beast Rock Lizard's effect activates, dealing you 500 damage.'' Solomon reminded him

Sean:250 /0 / 0 / 2 - Solomon:1750 / 3 / 0 / 1

''I guess it's my turn now.'' Solomon said. ''And it's time to end this. I attack your Inpachi with my Phantom Beast Rock Lizard.''

Sean:0000 - Solomon:1750 / 3 / 0 / 1

Sean fell to his knees. ''I lost again…'' He muttered, ''I'm worth nothing.''

Then a hand patted his back. Sean looked up and saw Yugi, smiling.

''You did really well there, don't worry. But remember, when dueling pros, have in mind what is in the graveyard. My grandfather may not seem like it, but he is one of those pros.''

''I heard that Yugi!'' Solomon yelled joking.

''Haha.'' Laughed Yugi calmly, just like Atem used to do. He looked at Sean and kept talking, ''Hey, at least you summoned a monster whose power was greater than the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. And you know why? Because that monster became more powerful as more monsters were out there with him, supporting him.''

Sean smiled. ''You know, me and my friend Mara always try to get monsters with high attack on the field, that way we know we'll be able to beat Evil Hero Dark Gaia!''

Solomon opened his eyes wide and turned at Sean. ''Did you just say Evil Hero Dark Gaia?''

''Uh… Yeah.'' Muttered Sean.

''Sean…'' Solomon sounded impressed. ''Who is this kid you were talking about earlier? Is that kid the one holding Gaia?''

Sean nodded. ''He used to be my best friend, until his dad came back from Paris. He had found great cards for him, and I suppose one of them was Evil Hero Dark Gaia. Their parents had a discussion, because they thought those evil cards would be a bad influence on their kids, and they divorced. The father, Fred, took John with him, while the mother, Cindy, took Mara with her. The new cards and the divorce changed John; he surrounded himself in a shell, and stopped talking to people. Before I knew it, he was considered a genius, and he became famous.''

Solomon scratched his beard. ''Well… that's interesting.''

''In fact, it is very interesting.'' An elderly voice said behind them.

All people in the garden looked at the door and saw Professor Arthur Hawkins, a friend of Solomon Muto.

''Welcome again, Arthur.'' Solomon greeted. ''Good to know you received my e-mail.''

Professor Hawkins laughed. ''It was hard, trust me. Computers don't like me. Anyways, who is this kid?'' He said pointing at Sean.

''It's kind of funny, I just found him today. I think he could be useful for us…''

''Me?'' He sounded confused. ''What?''

Solomon grinned at Arthur, who cleared his throat.

''Let me explain it you. A long time ago, in the duel monster world, there were three punishments for the duel monsters. They were made of fallen angels and dead demons, and they locked, destroyed and removed everything that used to be and ever was by controlling the souls of those who were a little bit off the path, or, in other words, those with some kind of depression. Then, when the Egyptians first found their way to communicate with the spirit world, that world called them for help. The Egyptians then asked their Gods to help that new world, and then Osiris sent Slifer, Ra sent his Winged Dragon, and Seth sent Obelisk. Together, they brought peace to the Duel Monsters world, and, in exchange, the duel monsters formed a tie with the human world thanks to the bonding of their seven kings to seven Egyptians. That way, when the monsters died, they served the Egyptians, who put their souls in rocks in order to make use of their powers. Later on, Maximillion Pegasus looked for those spirits and put them in cards. Not all spirits have been found, and not all of them have died, but the ones found are now used for dueling. Their machinery, magic, hues of attacks, and other things they did were turned into spells and traps.''

''Wow…'' He looked at his Ultimate Baseball Kid. ''So, this monster…''

''Exactly. It probably was a real monster back in the Spirit World. Then it died and Pegasus turned it into a card. Well, note how I've said that all spirits who have died have been turned into cards. That also includes… the spirit of the three punishments that once caused to world to almost become destroyed. In fact, those Spirits also made a pact with a human on Earth: One of the humans holding a King of the Duel Monster's World became corrupted forever, so they are now waiting for their return.''

Sean shacked, scared. ''But they were once stopped, right? I mean, the Egyptian Cards can defeat them again if it's necessary…''

Yugi was the one who talked now, ''Sean, last time they were stopped with the Three Egyptian God cards. They are now long gone with the Pharaoh.''

Sean gasped. ''But they are just cards, right? I mean, as long as they are not used or anything…''

Proffesor Hawkins took the word, ''It looks like they were thrown away in Paris, next to the Eiffel Tower, in the same place than the Evil Hero cards were found.''

Sean got up excitedly. ''Then John has them! We need to go get him now!''

''Not so fast Sean.'' Solomon stopped him. ''John's father, Fred, didn't find those cards alone. I happened to be with him when he did, and I had heard of the prophecy, so I decided to keep those cards and give the Evil Heroes to Fred.''

''Oh…'' Sean murmured, ''then where are they now?''

''How many duelists other than you do you see training here, Sean?''

Sean didn't even need to look around to realize it. ''Three… does that mean Yugi, Seto, and Joey each have one of those three powerful cards?''

Solomon nodded. ''They are the three best duelists in the world, and those cards cannot be taken by any means other than by winning a duel.''

Proffesor Hawkins cleared his throat. ''Yeah, in Ancient Egypt, every time you won, you could take a card from the opponent. Those ancient rules are still applied, and that way you can get a real 'ownership' of that card.''

Sean scratched his head, thinking. ''Then… why don't you give it to someone who's not a duelist?''

''Because in a shadow game you would be forced to duel, giving up all your cards and your soul if you lose. Not being able to duel would result in an automatic defeat.''

''Oh… So the plan is to keep them from losing?''

''What kind of plan is that!'' Kaiba yelled at the opposite side of the garden. ''I have made a tournament, called the Ultimate Championship, in which I'm sure the person who is looking for those cards will be there! Then I'll destroy him with my Blue-Eyes White Dragon!''

As he said that, he summoned his Blue-Eyes White Dragon, majestic looking, with its wings spread and roaring on the skies. (3000/2500/8/dragon/LIGHT)

Sean looked at Professor Hawkins. ''How would beating that person in a duel help?''

''Well, once he's beaten in duel, the spirit of the three monsters living in his heart would die, so he and the King he's holding would become uncorrupted.''

''Yeah, we need to get ready.'' Solomon said turning his Duel-Disk on again

''Wait, you didn't explain about me being useful for us…'' Sean asked.

Sean:4000 / 5 / 0 / 0 - Solomon:4000 / 5 / 0 / 0

''I'll clarify that later, Sean, but now we have a lot of training to do. Powerful monsters you'll encounter, Sean, and you need to know how to beat them.''

''With the help of my friends, noth-'' Sean didn't finish the phrase, as recalling his friends summoned image of the Iron Chain Dragon into his head. He looked down melancholically, thinking of how he had disappointed them, and there he saw two cards that had slipped out of the box that Solomon had previously brought. They were both the same card. And that card was a synchro monster.
