Author's note: This is truly one long duel. I don't think any duels in future episode will be long as this unless it was a two-part episodes but never again, I don't want to write this long for a duel. Also, this is a very quick update because this is one of the old chapters rewritten. And since this is the duel chapter, when someone use a card, I used (M1) for monster, (S1) for magic, and (T1) for trap. If you use Ctrl + F, this will bring you to the card's effect at the end of the page and also bring you back to the middle of the chapter.

Episode 4 Part B!

Instantly, the screen displayed Kurai with the E-Merc Flame Berserker in the background. And of course, at the bottom right corner was the logo of Yugioh GX!

Kurai stared at the screen boredly.

The narrator sweat-dropped at Kurai's action and couldn't help but asked, "Um…Yuki?"

Kurai narrowed his eyes, "Why is it Flame Berserker? Is he my trump card or something?"

The narrator sweat-dropped, "Of course not! But I'm writing down two new monster cards! I wouldn't want to spoil the readers right away from the start."

Kurai narrowed his eyes into a killer gaze, "Those new monsters you mentioned….they better be powerful."

The narrator gulped as sweat drops poured down his body. He replied nervously, "Of course…yet!" He immediately went back to his computer to change couple of words, "Please don't kill me!"

Meanwhile back in the abandoned dorms, three boys were exploring. Tsubaki was leading the way with his flashlight brightening their pathway.

"Why am I here?" Kurai asked annoyingly while following Tsubaki.

Tsubaki, of course, noticed Kurai's tone of annoyance and twitched "Nobody asked you to join us to look for Izumi, stupid stiff."

POW!

"Ouch!" Tsubaki winced as he rubbed the bump on his head.

Kurai brushed the dust off his hands, "You didn't ask. You dragged me, moron."

Alexander laughed, "Come on now, Yuki. Izumi is a friend of ours. It is our responsibility to look for her especially when she has been gone for so long. After all, she is a lone teenage girl alone at night…who knew what could happen to her."

Kurai narrowed his amber eyes toward Alexander and shrugged it off, "Experiences are necessary for life."

Tsubaki cringed and retorted, "Izumi don't need those experiences yet! Beside she's only 15!"

Kurai looked at Tsubaki as he was an absolute idiot, "And your point?"

Tsubaki twitched, "My point is…she, who is the same age as us, is too young to do those sort of things!..." He sweat-dropped, "Although it is quite common in America….those sort of experiences." He blushed slightly.

"Duh." Kurai replied coldly.

Alexander smiled, "My, I wonder what kind of experiences you guys are talking about."

Tsubaki blushed, "Well…you know…"

Alexander smiled more, "Actually, I don't know."

"…..Never mind." Tsubaki decided to push the subject aside and continued searching for Izumi.

With their luck, they eventually reached the living room where they saw a familiar person tied up in chains hanging from the ceiling.

Izumi heard the door opened and she glanced down toward the entrance from her spot. She called, "Tsubaki! Yuki! Alex!"

"Eh? How did you get up there?" Tsubaki shouted as he was completely surprised.

Izumi answered, "Well, let's see. I magically summoned my wings and flew up there…" She snapped as she shook her own chained body, trying to break free, "Geeze, how do you think I got up here? Domon did this!"

Alexander smiled, "I'm surprised that a pale and thin man like Domon managed to lift you up there."

"Alex." Izumi called his name.

Alexander smiled, "Hai?"

Izumi roared, "Can it!"

Alexander sweat-dropped, "Ah, quite rude."

"Izumi!" Tsubaki yelled back at her, "Domon didn't do anything to you, right?"

"Beside the fact that he tied me up and left me hanging from the ceiling?" Izumi replied sarcastically.

Tsubaki sweat-dropped, "I mean, did he steal anything from you?"

Izumi groaned, "My pride and my dignity!"

Tsubaki blinked, "Oh, you didn't lose it, then?"

"Lose what?" Izumi twitched out of impatience.

"Well, you know…" Tsubaki blushed slightly, "I mean you're a girl alone at the middle of the night in an abandoned building with a male."

"No, I don't know what! You're not making any sense! Just get me down already!" Izumi had no idea what Tsubaki asked and she didn't really care because she was very anxious to get down.

Tsubaki sighed as he blushed out of embarrassment, "You know…your innocence."

"Oh," Izumi now realized what Tsubaki meant. She blushed intensely and then she cracked, "Of course not! I'm still innocent but that's not the point! I just want to get downnnnnnnnnn!"

Kurai crossed his arms and sighed.

Izumi twitched, "Don't even think about being bored, Yuki!"

Suddenly, a very loud evil laugh was heard. The laugh spread throughout the entire living room, creating very creepy echoes. Then immediately, all the doors leading to the living room slammed closed.

Tsubaki frantically looked around, trying to find any opened doors, "What the hell is going on?"

Alexander smiled as he remained composed, "This must be the work of Domon."

Kurai narrowed his amber eyes as he tried to search for someone. He then finally noticed Domon who was standing next to the hook that the chain holding Izumi was tied to.

Domon smirked as he chuckled evilly, "So, you finally arrived, Kurai Yuki! I have been waiting for you since I knew you would come to rescue your little girlfriend here."

Kurai looked at Domon with a carefree stare.

"Oh? Speechless, are you?" Domon snickered, "You must be so scared of me."

Kurai replied boredly, "Not really. You just looked like freak." Domon gaped, "And the ditz is not my girlfriend," Domon gaped even more, "And I didn't really want to come here. I was simply dragged against my free will." Domon gaped more than ever.

Domon twitched, "I'm not a freak! Whatever reason you have, you're here anyway! It is my mistake that I challenged Miss Izumi because I thought she's the one who beat the Professor."

Alexander smiled, "You're mistaken, alright. Yuki is the one who defeat the Professor."

Domon spat, "I knew that! Thanks to Miss Izumi, I finally found out the truth! Now, Kurai Yuki, I challenge you to a duel!"

"Declined." Kurai crossed his arms.

"Eh?" Domon blinked and then he gritted his teeth out of frustration, "How dare you mock me! You, Osiris Red, think you're so much better than Ra Yellow?" He smirked, "If you don't duel me, I won't unlock the exits." He laughed manically.

"What?" Tsubaki exclaimed and he glared at Kurai, "Yuki, you better duel him if we want to save Izumi and get out of here!"

Kurai twitched, "Or, I can just kick his ass."

"Eh?" Domon blinked as he abruptly stopped laughing.

Alexander smiled, "That's another choice."

Kurai smacked his fists, "You made me pissed off, rotten freak." He walked closer toward Domon.

"No!" Domon panicked as he tried to think of something. He quickly thought of a plan and touched the chains tied around the hook, "Walk any more and I'll drop Izumi to her death!"

All three male duelists were shocked. Well, mostly Tsubaki was shocked since Kurai was only slightly shocked and Alex only frowned slightly.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?" Izumi screamed, "You're actually thinking of murdering me?"

Kurai smirked, "I bet you don't have the guts."

Izumi twitched, "Yuki! Don't provoke him!"

Tsubaki sweat-dropped, "Yeah, Yuki, Domon might actually be serious…"

Alexander pointed out, "Yes, you can see all the madness in his eyes. If you do not duel him, Izumi will not only suffer but us too."

Kurai scoffed, "I'll just beat him up then." He walked even closer.

Domon panicked again, "Ah! Don't even think about it!" He loosened the chains slightly.

"Ahhhhh!" Izumi fell few inches down. Her eyes quivered and her body shook with pure anger. She scolded, "Yuki, if you get me dead, I swear I'll haunt you forever and it's not going to be pretty!"

Kurai twitched, "Damn." He groaned, "Fine, let's duel."

Domon laughed manically as the tide turned in to his favor which made Kurai even more pissed off.

The dueling field was set and both duelists had their duel disks. They both shouted the magic word, "Duel!"

"I'll go first. Draw." Kurai drew his card from his duel disk and added it to his hand. He snatched one card and slammed it down horizontally on his duel disk, "I summon E-Merc Stone Guarder [M1(4/800/1200)] in defense!" A tall muscular bodybuilder came to the Field. He wore a helmet with small curved horns and thick stone armor. He also possessed spiked shoulder pads and legs coverings. The warrior was entirely made out of stone and he wielded a giant stone shield with spikes on the edge that was half of his size. He crouched behind his stone shield in defense, "I'll end my turn."

Domon smirked, "Being defensive, aren't we? Draw!" He drew his card and played one card, "I summon Kyonshi – Geisha [M2(2/350/1650)] in attack mode!" Suddenly, a small stone grave rose high from the ground. The stone then cracked into uneven halves as a pale-blue skinned woman arose from her grave. She was dressed in a silk red Chinese dress with fine golden lines around the edges. The dress would have shone with luster but it was dirtied from being in the grave so long and torn from age. Her greasy black hair was neatly tied up in a bun with few messy strings sticking out. Her face was entirely covered by a single talisman attached to her forehead. Suddenly, Domon's fusion deck glowed and a card came flying out. The fusion card landed perfectly in Kurai's fusion deck.

Kurai stared at his fusion deck with slight confusion and glared, "What the hell you just did?"

Domon chuckled, "When I normal summoned Kyonshi-Geisha successfully, I can choose one Fusion monster from my deck and add that monster to your deck."

Kurai narrowed his eyes, "Why?"

Domon laughed, "I'm not telling! Also, Kyonshi-Geisha has another effect! I can add one continuous Trap Card from my deck to my hand." His deck ejected one card and Domon grabbed it, "The card I picked is Life Essence Absorption!" Domon's trap card had a picture of numerous Chinese Zombies standing around a lone martial artist. There were auras floating out of the Chinese Zombies and entering the martial artist. The martial artist looked like he was in terrible pain as the auras merged into one pillar of life force sticking out of his back. Domon inserted a card into the M/T slot of his duel disk, "Then I placed one card face-down! Then I end my turn." A card materialized on Domon's M/T field. Domon snickered, "Be afraid…be afraid of what is about to come!" He laughed manically.

"What the hell is that?" Tsubaki asked.

"It's a Kyonshi," Alexander explained, "A Chinese Zombie." He smiled, "He must have a Chinese Zombie deck…how interesting."

"A Chinese Zombie?" Tsubaki's right eye twitched out of disgust, "It does fit Domon…"

Kurai looked at Domon with bored look and decided to ignore him, earning a "HEY" from Domon, "Draw." Kurai drew his card and put down one card vertically, "I summon E-Merc Bolt Assassin [M3(4/1600/1000)] in ATK mode!" A lightning struck the ground, summoning a warrior of lighting with blue electric wings, 'That freak must purposely put his monster in attack mode…is he trying to entice me and make me fall into his trap? …I'm not going to hesitate!' Kurai held his right hand forward, "Bolt Assassin! Attack Kyonshi-Geisha!" The lightning warrior's wings stretched out entirely and flapped few times. The lightning warrior suddenly soared above the field toward Domon's monster. As the E-Merc nearly reached his destination, electric claws suddenly erupted from his armored gloves. The assassin raised his claws high as he prepared to slice the Geisha into pieces.

"Not so fast! I activate my trap card, Calling of the Beautiful Kyonshi!" [T1] Domon activated his trap card, revealing an image of Kyonshi-Geisha dancing beautiful on a worn-down wooden stage with screens of bamboo paintings in the background, "This trap can only be activated when there's Kyonshi-Geisha on the field. When you attack my Kyonshi-Geisha, the first attack is negated," The Geisha suddenly moved around in front of the Bolt Assassin, dancing gracefully in fluid circles around the E-Merc.

Kurai complained with annoyance, "What the hell?"

Domon smirked, "And that's not all. I can inflict 800 damages to you too!" The Kyonshi-Geisha stopped dancing as she quickly pulled a hidden dagger out of her torn sleeves and tossed it directly at Kurai's forehead.

Kurai gritted his teeth as he braced the pain, "Shit."

Kurai: 4000 – 800 = 3200. Domon: 4000.

Izumi looked down with concerns in her eyes, "Yuki."

Kurai snatched two cards and placed it face-down, "I set one card face down and I end my turn." A face-down card appeared on his M/T side.

Domon laughed manically, "This is just the prelude to the horrors I set in store for you. Draw!" He drew his card and took one card from his hand, "I played Pot of Greed [S1] and draw two cards!" The spell card with a picture of the infamous green pot appeared and Domon drew two cards from his deck. He played one card, "I summon Polymer Kyonshi [M4(4/1000/500)] in attack mode!" Another slim gravestone rose from the ground and cracked in half, summoned another pale-blue skinned zombie. Except this time, it was an average sized yet muscular man dressed in a silk purple Chinese robe with black linens decorations over his baggy black pants. He wore a Chinese hat of the same color of his robe that covered his short hair and his face was covered by the talisman attached to the front of his hat.

Tsubaki claimed, "It's another Chinese Zombie!"

"Hmm, this one might be tough." Alexander claimed.

Suddenly, Domon's Fusion deck glowed again and another card flew out of it. The card entered Kurai's fusion deck once again. Kurai noticed it and glared at Domon, "Let me guess, the effect of that pile of dead crap you summoned."

Domon twitched, "Insult my Kyonshi and you will pay. When I normal summoned Polymer Kyonshi successfully, I can choose one Lv. 5 or lower Fusion monster from my Fusion Deck and add it to your. Not only that, I can increase this Kyonshi's ATK with the fusion monster I selected's ATK. Although the downside is that when this monster inflicts damage to my opponent, it only dealt half." The fusion monster that Domon sent had 2000 ATK. [Polymer Kyonshi: 1000 + 2000 = 3000]

Tsubaki gaped, "A 3000 ATK power monster?"

Alexander smiled, "That's why it has a downside of only inflicting half damage."

Tsubaki commented, "Still, that doesn't stop that Chinese zombie from plowing down any weak monsters."

Domon continued on with his turn, "I then play a field card, Bamboo Graveyard!" [S2] His duel disk's field slot ejected open, allowing Domon to place his field card in. Suddenly, hundreds of thick bamboos grew from the field and continued growing. Izumi gasped as she watched the top of the bamboos continued to grow until they reached the ceiling. Kurai immediately saw many gravestones in the forest of bamboos, giving off a dark aura that formed a black fog that shrouded the bamboos, making the entire field looked haunted.

Tsubaki shuddered slightly, "Man, this place looks scary."

Izumi twitched, "Oh wait till you get to see the top view."

Alexander smiled, "Nah, we're perfectly fine here. I wonder what Yuki will do now?"

Izumi's right eye twitched out of annoyance, "If anything, I hope Yuki finish the duel right away and get me down now…"

Domon explained, "This field card increased all Wind-Attribute Zombie-Type Monsters' ATL and DEF by 300!" [Polymer Kyonshi: 3000/500 + 300/300 = 3300/800] [Kyonshi Geisha: 350/1650 + 300/300 = 650/1950]

Kurai narrowed his eyes into a slight glare, "There's also a second effect, is there?"

Domon smirked, "Quite sharp, aren't you? Correct, there is a second effect. When my monsters were attacked in ATK mode, I can change them to DEF mode." He laughed manically.

Kurai gritted his teeth, "Annoying. You done yet?"

Domon twitched, "Your cocky attitude annoyed me. I, Ra Yellow, must teach you, Osiris Red, that there are norms to be followed!" He snatched another card from his hand, "I play spell card, Gift of the Fused!" [S3] The spell card appeared on the field, revealing an image of the Kyonshi holding a numerous fancy boxes of gifts tied up with silk red strings but covered by seal talismans, "My spell card only activated when there's Kyonshi on the field which you can see, I have two of them! I can choose up to 10 Fusion monsters and add them to your Fusion deck. For each fusion monster add, I get 300 Life Points!" He laughed manically as his Fusion deck flashed and ten cards came floating out of it. The ten cards then landed inside Kurai's Fusion Deck.

Kurai: 3200. Domon: 4000 + 3000 = 7000.

Tsubaki gaped, "A 7000 Life Points?"

"I see," Alexander pointed out, "The purpose of the Chinese Zombie deck must to control the battle field, dealing effect damage, and recovery."

Tsubaki gulped, "Well, that's helluva recovery. Does Yuki stand a chance?"

Alexander smiled, "We'll see."

Kurai looked at his Duel Disk. He was staring at his Fusion Deck, "…you dare add more crap into it just to increase your Life Points? Do you even plan to use those Fusion monsters at all?"

Domon chuckled, "They're just Fusion monsters to help me with my Kyonshi deck. They're just food to my precious Kyonshi. Plus, I don't even have the materials to fuse into all those monsters I given you." He laughed evilly.

Kurai remained staring at his Fusion deck, "So for the sake of other purposes, you just discarded them as they were nothing. Those fusions monsters you sent may be crap…but you're worse than that." He glared at Domon with the death eyes, "You're a piece of scum for using them like this."

Domon cringed in fear but glared back, "Who do you think you're talking to? You're just Osiris Red! You're a dropout!"

"Pathetic." Kurai replied dully.

Tsubaki blinked in confusion, "Why did Yuki care so much about fusion monsters?"

Alexander smiled slightly, "Don't you remember? Yuki's true strength lies in the fusions of his allies. Fusion monsters are double edged swords. The prices are high to bring them out but their effects may be worth it. So Yuki must have lot of faith into those fusions. Domon in the other hand use those fusions monsters to increase his Life Points and enhance his Kyonshi's ATK strength. The very purpose of fusion monsters was betrayed and Yuki felt furious."

"Oh…" Tsubaki understood.

Domon gritted his teeth, "Curse you, Osiris Red Dropout, I play this spell card, Violent Fusion!" [S4] The spell card that arrived on the field had a picture of a hand declaring fusion. In the middle of the picture, there was a familiar dragon and monster of Polymerization card trying to fuse together but exploded in failure. The explosion nearly consumed the opposing player, "You can randomly select one Fusion Monster from my Fusion deck and add it to your." Domon's Fusion Deck suddenly revealed in holographs to Kurai. Kurai just hissed out of annoyance as he randomly picked one card and that card was added to Kurai's Fusion deck, "Not only that but I get to also inflict 1000 damage to your Life Points!" He laughed evilly.

Kurai gritted his teeth.

Kurai: 3200 – 1000 = 2200. Domon: 7000.

Domon laughed proudly, "Ha! Ha! Your life points are slowly dwindling. Allow me to take more away by attacking your Bolt Assassin with Polymer Kyonshi!" Polymer Kyonshi went into a martial art pose. In an instant, he disappeared and suddenly appeared behind the Bolt Assassin with a backbone-breaking kick. The Bolt Assassin was sent crashing to the ground from behind and shattered into thousand pieces, "Normally, I would have done 1700 damage to your Lifepoints but according to my monster's effect, the damage is reduced to half."

Kurai glared.

Kurai: 2200 – 850 = 1350. Domon: 7000.

"But you activate my trap card," Kurai pressed the button on his duel disk and flipped his facedown card up, "Hired Mercenary!" [T2] His face down card flipped up, revealing a picture of a mercenary swordsman charging with the familiar greedy Goblin Merchant cowering behind him, seeking for protection., "When my monster is destroyed as the result of battle, I can special summon a lv. 4 or lower E-Merc monster from my deck. The monster I chose is E-Merc Tempest Lady!" [M5] A small tornado struck the field from Kurai's deck. The tornado disappeared and revealed the hawk lady in sky blue armor and gray wings stretched open fully.

Domon chuckled, "What a weak monster you have." He took the last three cards of his hand and inserted them into the M/T slots, "I place three cards face down and I ended my turn."

"Draw!" Kurai drew his card.

"I activate my trap card!" Domon declared, "Life Essence Absorption!" [T3] Domon's face-down card flipped itself up.

Kurai narrowed his eyes, 'It's the same trap card that he got with Geisha.'

Domon explained, "Every time a zombie-type monster is special summoned, you take 300 lifepoints of damage and I gain 500 lifepoints."

Kurai twitched, "I'm guessing one of your face down cards special summon the undead?"

Domon smirked, "Correct, I activate my other trap card, Dare into the Dark!" [T4] His second trap card revealed itself with a picture of many Kyonshi rising from the black soil ground, dressed in white Chinese robes and cap. They wore black talisman over their pale blue skin faces, "This trap card allow to special summon three Kyonshi tokens in ATK!" [Kyonshi Token: Dark/Zombie/4/1000/1000] Suddenly, three tiny gravestones erupted from the floor, the stones cracked into pieces, revealing three kyonshi dressed in white Chinese robes tied with black strings over black pants. They also wore white cap with black linen edge and a black talisman over their faces, "However, these tokens cannot attack, change their battle positions, or be sacrificed for Tribute Summon."

"Their ATK didn't increase." Kurai pointed that out.

"Eh?" Domon blinked with slight confusion in his voice.

Kurai crossed his arms, "Their ATK doesn't increase which means they're not affected by this field card….and they're obviously zombies….so what main type are they?"

Domon sweat-dropped, "Dark…but never mind that! Because I special summon three Kyonshis, I gain 1500 Life Points and you lose 900 Life Points!" His permanent trap card glowed and shot two lines of aura. One aura line entered Domon peacefully and the other shot through Kurai's chest. Kurai winced as he braced the pain.

Kurai: 1350 – 900 = 450. Domon: 7000 + 1500 = 8500.

Kurai narrowed his eyes as he stared at his own Life Points in tiny display on his duel disk.

Izumi cried, "Yuki!"

Tsubaki panicked, "AHH! Domon now has 8000 more Life Points than Yuki!"

Alexander was in deep thought as he put his hand under his chin. He then smiled, "This might be trouble."

Tsubaki twitched and snapped, "This is trouble!" He roared with red angry eyes and white razor teeth.

Alexander just laughed softly as he remained calm.

Domon just laughed manically, "Well, Osiris Red Dropout, you witness the true horror of my Kyonshi deck, do you wish to give up?" He smirked, "I might spare you."

Kurai glared, "Shut your trap, as long as I have my deck, it won't fail me right now or anytime! I play Graceful Charity!" [S5] He played a spell card that contained a picture of the angel holding a card above her glowing hands, "I get to draw three cards," He snatched the top three cards and added them to his hand, "Then I discard two cards." He selected two cards and sent it to the Graveyard, "The next card I play is Splitting the Loot! [S6] He played his second spell card which contained a picture of two mercenaries clasping each other's hands as they made a deal with a treasure map pinned to the wall by a dagger in the background, "Splitting the Loot is almost the same as Fusion Recovery except I can pick any E-Merc monster from the Graveyard while Fusion Recovery required a fusion material monster used in fusion. I pick E-Merc Bolt Assassin, the monster you killed and Polymerization, the card I discarded with Graceful Charity. Say, freak, do you know why I picked E-Merc Tempest Lady from my deck?"

Domon twitched at the name calling but answered anyway, "Obviously to fuse it with your monster."

Kurai smirked, "True but that's not all Tempest Lady can do. I play a spell card, Tornado Duster!" [S7] His third spell card had a picture of wind swirling with gray feathers and cards, "This card can only work when there's Tempest Lady on the field, I can destroy all your magic and trap cards!"

Domon gaped out of pure shock, "What?"

Tempest Lady soared high toward the ceiling and stopped there. She repeatedly flapped her wings until she created a huge tornado that span around the forest of bamboos, sucking in the leaves and the gravestones. Izumi screamed as she actually felt the force of the tornado pulling her in but luckily for her, she was still tied up. The tornado vanquished the bamboo graveyard and then Domon's two permanent trap cards. The tornado continued on its path to destroy Domon's last trap card.

Domon groaned as he braced the tornado. He outstretched his right hand, "I activate my face-down card, Interfere and Defend!" [T5] Domon's trap card showed the picture of the Kyonshi defending their talisman master.

Kurai glared, "What is that supposed to do?"

Domon smirked, "Why don't you find out for yourself?"

"I don't need to!" Kurai played the fourth spell card from his hand, "I play Polymerization! I fuse E-Merc Tempest Lady and E-Merc Flame Berserker!" He sent the Flame Berserker card from his hand after playing Polymerization to the Graveyard. Suddenly, the pillar of fire erupted from the ground. Tempest Lady hugged her arms as she suddenly changed into tornado. The tornado became one with the pillar of fire and created a blazing tornado. The fiery tornado exploded, revealing an orange and blue skinned warrior with hawk's head on its left arm, "To summon E-Merc Blazing Windman!" [M6(6/2100/1200)] Kurai summoned another monster, "Then I normal summon E-Merc Bolt Assassin in ATK mode!" A lightning struck the field and the assassin with electric wings returned.

Kurai declared, "I now conduct my battle phase!"

"And thus begin the effect of my trap card, Interfere and Defend!" Domon interrupted.

"What?" Kurai glared.

Domon explained, "When you conduct a battle phase, all of your monsters must attack and I get to choose the targets."

Kurai's glare grew even intense.

"Let's see. You have three monsters, so the three targets I chose for you are the Kyonshi tokens!" Domon selected his choices.

'The freak wanted me to attack those tokens in attack mode…something's up…' Kurai declared, "Blazing Windman, destroy it with Blazing Hawk!" The mercenary's hawk's beak snapped opened, revealing a purple fireball in its mouth. The warrior launched the fireball that quickly changed into a hawk. The hawk touched the white Kyonshi and created a large explosion.

Kurai: 450. Domon: 8500 – 1100 = 7400.

"Bolt Assassin, kill with Killer Thunder!" The Bolt Assassin instantly soared toward the white Kyonshi and sliced the zombie into three even pieces.

Kurai: 450. Domon: 7400 – 600 = 6800.

Tsubaki was confused, "How come Yuki didn't use E-Merc Blazing Windman's effect?"

Alexander answered, "It's because it wouldn't work. It only works when the monster he destroyed was sent to the Graveyard. But the E-Merc only destroyed the token."

Domon chortled, "The only left is your Stone Guarder who has weaker ATK than my token! He'll be destroyed and you'll lose your Life Points." He laughed.

"Not unless if I can help it. I play Quick-play Spell card, Revolutionary Weapon!" [S8] Kurai played one card from his hand, the spell card that contained a picture of numerous warriors holding their powerful weapons in defensive positions, defending the castle, "This card allow me to switch the ATK and DEF of all monsters on the field! So your token's ATK remained 1000 but E-Merc Stone Guarder's ATK is now 2000. Stone Guarder, attack with Stone Crush!" The stone warrior appeared in front of the white Kyonshi. He raised his stone shield high and then crushed the zombie as he brought the shield down.

Kurai: 450. Domon: 6800 – 1000 = 5800.

Domon smirked. His smirk then grew into an evil laugh.

Kurai glared as he was saying now what.

Domon laughed evilly, "Victory is now mine! You have lost, dropout!"

Kurai's eyes widened slightly in confusion.

"What?" Tsubaki was also confused too.

"Huh?" Izumi questioned, "How?"

Domon smirked, "For each Kyonshi token you destroyed, you lose 300 Lifepoints. You destroyed three tokens, therefore you lose 900 Lifepoints."

Tsubaki's eyes widened in shock, "That's why his Tokens were in attack mode."

"Oh…that's it." Kurai sighed out of relief.

"…that's it?" Domon blinked and he gaped, "Where's the fear? Where's the horrified look of great loss? Where's the misery and despair?"

Kurai played the last card in his hand, "I play Emergency Provisions." [S9] His spell card had the picture of military food cans and crackers, "For each spell or trap card on my side of the field I sent to the graveyard with this card, I gain 1000 Lifepoints."

Domon questioned, "But you have no other spell or trap cards on your field."

"There is one." Kurai admitted, "I chained Emergency Provisions with Revolutionary Weapon!"

Tsubaki blinked in confusion, "Huh?"

Alexander smiled, "He sent Revolutionary Weapon to the graveyard with Emergency Provisions but since he activated Revolutionary Weapon already. The effect still remains on the field even when the card is supposedly destroyed by Emergency Provisions."

Kurai crossed his arms since he had no cards left in his hand, "Thus I gain 1000 Lifepoints and lose 900 Lifepoints."

Kurai: 450 + 1000 – 900 = 550. Domon: 5800.

Domon growled out of frustration and annoyance, "You may live this turn but I'll rid of you the next turn! Draw!" He glanced at the card he just drawn and the only card he had. He slowly smirked, "It seemed my horror will never stop. Heh. Heh. Heh. I played Treasure of Slashing Life!" [S10] Domon played the infamous Kaiba Spell card that had a picture of man holding cards while his hand is right under the guillotine, "Since I have no cards, I get to draw five cards!" He drew five cards, "Of course, five turns later, I must discard my entire hand but that's more than enough." He grinned evilly as he looked at his new hand, "Because this turn, I'll finish you!"

Domon snatched one card and placed it vertically, "I summon Fusioh Kyonshi!" [M7(3/950/800)] Another gravestone erupted from the field and cracked into pieces. Another pale-blue skin zombie arrived but this time, he was dress in green Chinese robe along with the cap of the same color. Of course, the usual symbol of the Kyonshi, the talisman over the face, "While ago, you asked me why I kept adding my Fusion monsters to your Fusion deck," He smirked, "This is the reason why! When Fusioh Kyonshi inflicts damage to my opponent, I can do 100 points of damage to you for each Fusion Monster in your Fusion deck!"

Tsubaki gaped, "EH? That means…let's see…" He counted his fingers, "Domon's fusions and…Ahhh! I don't know how many fusions that Yuki has!"

Alexander smiled, "This could be troubling, indeed."

Tsubaki yelled, "How can you be so calm at a time like this!"

Domon ordered, "Now! Fusioh Kyonshi! Attack E-Merc Stone Guarder!" Since Kurai's turn ended, the E-Merc Stone Guarder's original ATK strength returned, which was 800. The green robed Kyonshi held his arms high, showing that his sleeves were bigger than his arms until suddenly hundred of talismans came flying out of his sleeves and headed straight toward Stone Guarder, "Victory is mine!" He laughed evilly.

Talismans suddenly bounced off a black shield that surrounded Kurai's E-Merc monsters. Domon gasped, "What?"

Kurai held his duel disk arm up and suddenly the disk ejected a card. Kurai grabbed the card in time, "I remove Yami Kuriboh [M8(1/300/200)] from the Graveyard to activate his effect. I can reduce Battle Damage or Effect Damage to zero till the end of the turn. The one I chose is Battle Damage. Since your pathetic walking pile of shit doesn't inflict any damage to me, it can't use its effect." His amber eyes narrowed into the glare of death as he warned, "Try to touch my Fusion deck and I'll make sure you'll see something worse than Hell."

Domon actually cringed at Kurai's threat. He gulped and tried to remember when Yami Kuriboh did go to the Graveyard. He realized, 'The dropout must have discarded Yami Kuriboh with Graceful Charity…that cocky bastard!' He chuckled, "I praise your skills as a duelist. You're quite good for a dropout. But even if you did prevent the deadly effect of my Fusioh Kyonshi, you still won't prevent my trump card!" He grabbed one card from his hand and inserted it into his M/T slot, "I play Traveling a Corpse over a Thousand Li!" [S11] His ritual spell card showed an interesting picture of a black wooden grave box covered with many golden talismans all over. The talisman covered box was surrounded by circle of purple candles with lit flames.

"A ritual spell?" Kurai prepared for the worst.

Domon continued, "I sacrifice Fusioh Kyonshi, Polymer Kyonshi, and Kyonshi – Geisha!" All three colorful Kyonshi dissolved into three different colored rays of light that were suddenly sucked into the black wooden grave box that appeared on the field, "Arise! Talisman Kyonshi Master!" [M9(9/1300/666)] The lid of the box slowly slid opened until it fell off completely. A pale-blue skin man slowly rose from his grave dressed in red silk Chinese robe. It was different from karate robes that the other Kyonshi wore. No, this robe was the Imperial robe that presented higher status. His red Imperial robe had thick golden linens at the edge of the sleeves. He wore blue beads around his neck and a black Chinese hat topped with a blue feather. His hat was also attached with a gold talisman written with black ink.

Tsubaki gaped, "A Level 9 monster?" He sweat-dropped, "With 1300 ATK and…666 DEF? What a weird number for DEF."

Alexander smiled, "If it is a high level monster with a weak ATK, then it must have a powerful effect."

Domon confirmed, "Correct you are. When Talisman Kyonshi Master is summoned, it destroys all monsters except this card!" He laughed manically.

Kurai's eyes widened, "What?" The Talisman master suddenly tossed three purple talismans that attached themselves to the head of three E-Merc monsters. The purple talismans glowed until they suddenly flash, creating a huge black explosion that consumed them all. Kurai silently cursed as all his monsters vanished.

Domon smirked, "And that's not all, when my ritual spell card is still on the field, once per turn, I can remove any monster I want from my deck. I increase Talisman Kyonshi Master's ATK and DEF by the ATK and DEF of the monster I removed from the deck. Plus, it can never be selected as an attack target. When there are other monsters on my field, this monster cannot be the attack target which means he can never be destroyed!" He laughed even more.

"What if your monster is alone?" Tsubaki asked.

"Regretfully, if Talisman Kyonshi Master is the only one on the field, then my opponent can attack me directly." Domom smirked, "But ha! Look at your hand! You have nothing! All of your fate depends on your next draw! And even when you do summon a monster, it won't be enough to get rid of my Life Points completely before my trump card defeat you.!"

Kurai glared then he was in deep thought, 'as much as I hate to admit, but the freak is right….since I have nothing left in my hands and everything depends on the next draw.' Kurai gulped slightly and mumbled, "Now, I really need luck."

Kurai closed his eyes as he could only remember one thing. The same amber eyes he owned but belonged to another person. The very person he wanted to beat. The very person that he created this deck to beat. He mused, 'I didn't came this far just to lose…if I'm going to lose…I rather lose to that one person only!' He touched the top card of his deck, "Draw!" He drew the card and opened his eyes. He smirked slightly as he declared, "I now play Pot of Greed!"

"Pot of Greed?" Domon gasped and groaned, 'How can he draw Pot of Greed at a time like this? Heh, no matter…two cards can't possible change the situation…can it?'

Kurai drew two cards and smirked, "Heh…it seemed my deck never fail me."

Domon's eyes widened, "He drew a tide-turning cards?"

Kurai placed down the first card vertically, "I summon E-Merc Steel Cutter!" [M10(4/1900/1100)] A large muscular humanoid warrior appeared on the field. He was dressed in metallic black armor that was put over his chest and black spiked shoulder pads. He wore black greaves decorated with two large spikes and gloves that covered his callous hands. His stone-gray skinned arms and chests were revealed, showing that the armor does not entirely cover. He wore horn helmet that covered entirely his face and wielded a large axe that was black and the blade was glowing white, "The Mercenary of Metal arrives. Then I play my last card, Magnetic Fusion!" [S12] His new magic card showed the classic picture of a monster and a dragon swirling together except the colors were entirely metallic.

"Magnetic Fusion?" Tsubaki asked as he never heard of that card.

"What the hell is that?" Domon cried as he couldn't help but felt extremely nervous.

Kurai explained, "Magnetic Fusion is Polymerization card that only works for E-Merc Steel Cutter. Since Metal, Machine, Gold, or Technology is never really considered part of the six elementals types in Duel Monster Universe. This card allowed me to fuse E-Merc Steel Cutter with any Elemental Mercenary monster in my hand or field to create a powerful monster I need."

"Wait," Domon intervened, "You don't have any other monsters in your hand or on the field," He laughed, "You're just bluffing!"

Kurai stared at Domon as he was a moron. He closed his eyes, "Actually, I just forgot to mention the second effect."

"There's a second effect?" Domon shouted.

Kurai raised his Duel Disk near his right arm. The disk then ejected a card from his deck, letting Kurai grab it in time, "The second effect of Magnetic Fusion allows me to fuse my E-Merc Steel Cutter with any monster from my deck. When the Fusion is special summoned this way, it has to return to the Fusion deck at the end of the turn it is summoned. But E-Merc Steel Cutter gets to return back to the Field. The monster I chose from my deck is E-Merc Shadow Sage!" [M11(5/1600/1800)]

Suddenly, all the shadows rushed to one monster spot on the Field and merged into one black pillar of darkness. The pillar vanished, revealing a black mage. The mage was thin for a human and his skin color was pale violet like the night at its last moment before the sun rise. He dressed in beautiful black magician's robe covered his entire body except his head and his hands. The robe was decorated with shiny purple lines all around the edges of the sleeves and robe. He also wore a black boots and a black mask with bat wings on the sides and covered only his eyes, revealing his mouth and his short messy snow white hair. His short messy hairstyle and the smirk expressed in his mouth signaled his teenage youthfulness. Floating circled around the sage was a staff made out of burnt wood and endowed with a crystal blue orb on the top.

"Fuse!" Kurai declared. The Shadow Sage smirked as the orb on his staff flashed black. He dissolved into energy of darkness that first consumed Steel Cutter's axe and then entirely his body. The dark energy floated around E-Merc Steel Cutter's body as it was attracted to it like magnets. The dark energy finally dispersed, revealing a scary sight. It was a knight covered entirely in the blackest armor. His helmet shaped in the face of a demon with black visor over his eyes. On the sides of his black helmet were devil-shaped wings with fang bone earrings attached at the tip of the wings. His black shoulder pads were neatly curved and tall as it reached the half of his helmet. His greaves and leggings were designed to look evil, bringing more the feeling of wickedness to the knight. He wore a long black cape with red inner layer, making him seem like the king of terror. He wielded a long black blade with large sharp curves on both sides. The black knight held his sword high and suddenly, the sword emanated a blood red energy, forming a laser saber.

Izumi and Tsubaki stared at the new monster with surprise.

"Arrive, E- Merc Cursed Conqueror." Kurai announced. [M12(8/2700/2500)]

Domon quivered, "Cursed Conqueror?" He actually shook out of fear of this awesome darkness until his pants finally dropped, revealing his boxers. He quickly realized and pulled his pants up, "Ha! Your so-called Fusion monster only has the attack of 2700. Even with direct attack, that's not enough to defeat me!" Domon smirked, "When it becomes my turn, I'll remove a high level monster card from deck and add its ATK and DEF to my Talisman Kyonshi Master!"

Kurai ignored Domon as he continued, "The effect of Shadow Sage activates."

"EH?" Domon stared with surprise.

Kurai explained dully, "When E-Merc Shadow Sage is sent to the Graveyard from my Deck, I can revive a monster from my Graveyard. I revive E-Merc Blazing Windman!" The winged blue and orange skinned warrior soared from the grave and landed on the field.

Domon taunted, "HA! Even if you do summon more monsters, both monsters' attacks can't get rid of my life points."

"Actually, I only need E-Merc Cursed Conqueror to win for me," Kurai replied boredly, "I just felt like putting E-Merc Blazing Windman back on the field."

All stared at Kurai as he was one strange duelist. Domon snapped, "What is that supposed to mean?"

Kurai explained again, "There is a reason why my monster is called Cursed Conqueror. He wielded the cursed blood sword and thirsts for a fight. When I conduct battle phase, my Cursed Conqueror must continue fighting until you have no monsters or die against one of your powerful monsters." He declared, "So, Cursed Conqueror! Strike him down with Bloody Curse!" The black knight suddenly went into a fighting pose as he held the black sword with two hands. He suddenly launched forward toward the Talisman Kyonshi Master as his sword was a lance.

Domon scoffed, "HA! Talisman Kyonshi Master cannot be target of an attack. Even when alone, you can only do direct attack!" The black knight dashed through the Kyonshi and sliced vertically through Domon. Domon groaned as he braced the damage.

Kurai: 550. Domon: 5800 – 2700 = 3100.

Kurai just stood there and ordered, "Cursed Conqueror, attack again!"

Domon was surprised, "Again? How?"

Kurai explained, "I just told you. Cursed Conqueror is a cursed mercenary. It continue to fight until your monsters are destroyed or my cursed mercenary is destroyed. Since your so-called Trump Card still remains on the field and I can't target it. Cursed Conqueror will continue to attack you directly…forever."

"An endless chain…" Tsubaki muttered.

Alexander smiled, "The victor became obvious."

Domon paled, "Forever?" Suddenly, the black knight sliced Domon again. Domon screamed out of pain.

Kurai: 550. Domon: 3100 – 2700 = 400.

Kurai ordered again, "Again."

Domon screamed, "Nooo!" The black knight sliced Domon again in different direction.

Kurai: 550. Domon: 400 – 2700 = 0.

Domon panted as he was out of breath and deeply hurt out of shock, "I lost….how can I lose to a drop out?" He fell down on his knees and then noticed black armored boots still on the field. He looked up to see the Cursed Conqueror still standing there, holding his sword as he was ready to slice again. He whimpered, "Isn't it over already? You won!"

Kurai mumbled, "Thirteen times."

"Eh?" Domon whimpered more.

Kurai answered, "You send thirteen Fusion monsters into my Fusion Deck…" He narrowed his eyes into a death glare, "I told you…for using Fusions monsters for sick purposes…unforgivable…The Cursed Conqueror only struck three times…...so…ten more times." He gave Domon a thumb's down.

Domon screamed out of horror as the black knight continued on his bloody rampage, slicing the poor Ra Yellow duelist with merciless slashes.

Izumi was finally free. She rubbed her body since she was tied up for awhile. She chuckled, "Wasn't that kinda mean, Yuki? The way you finish Domon off?"

Kurai crossed his arms, "He deserved it."

Tsubaki laughed, "Beside, who are you to complain, Izumi? You know you like how Domon got punished especially when he did this to you."

Izumi sweat-dropped as she blushed out of embarrassment, "True…" She smiled, "Thanks, guys, for saving me…even though Yuki might have different purpose…"

Alexander smiled, "Oh I can't be sure about that…Yuki might have planned to save you from the start."

Kurai twitched and glared at Alexander with a message, 'Don't even think about it."

Alexander just laughed.

Tsubaki laughed too and he raised his hand high, "Alright, let's get outta here!"

Izumi cheered, "Yeah!"

At the dueling exam center at Duel Academia

"I summon this card, E-Hero Featherman and I attack the player directly!" Judai declared as the winged warrior soared toward his opponent. Manjoume could only scream in shock as the hero pierced through him with his razor nails and drained his LP to zero.

The audience cheered for Judai, "You did it!"

Sho clenched his fist in excitement, "You did it, Aniki!"

Chronos gasped, "To have that many rare cards and still lose…"

Samejima glanced at Chronos, "It appears that there were grounds for him beating you, Professor Chronos."

Chronos cringed and quickly walked away, "You really must excuse me."

Samejima chuckled as he looked back at the duel. Judai was basking in the audience cheers. He then did his signature pose, "Gotcha! That sure was a fun duel!"

Manjoume panted heavily as he couldn't believe that he lost to an Osiris Red. He glared at the Osiris Red, "Judai…"

Sho ran up to Judai, followed by Misawa, "Hey! Hey, Aniki!"

Samejima announced, "You have shown me, Yuki Judai. Your trust in your deck. Your passionate friendship with your monsters, and most importantly, a dueling soul that never gives up in a fight. These are the things I'm sure everyone has acknowledged. So, as the winner, Yuki-kun, you are being promoted to Ra Yellow!"

The audience cheered again, "Congratulations! Good going, Judai!"

"You're incredible! You're just awesome, Aniki!" Sho hugged Judai, "You've overwhelmed me!

Judai laughed, "Aren't I though?"

"Yuki Judai, congratulations, and welcome to Ra Yellow." Misawa offered his hand.

"Yeah!" Judai shook Misawa's hand. The audience cheered their congratulations again.

TBC

Izumi: Yuki's new fusion monster is a Cursed Knight….how…scary…

Tsubaki: Man, what is it with the fantasy job classes?

Izumi: Well, it fits his Elemental Mercenaries. Eh, who is this guy in a black cloak?

Tsubaki: …I don't know…a random duelist from a mysterious organization?

Izumi: He looked familiar though but I'm sure…

Tsubaki: Wait a minute, I know this guy! He's famous for defeating many Pro League duelists!

Izumi: Eh, seriously? And Yuki challenge him?

Next episode: Episode 5 – The Mysterious Challenger

Tsubaki: Aw man, I really want to duel next!

Izumi: This isn't the time to be worried about that! We gotta help Yuki!

Strongest Card of the Duel

Alexander: Today's strongest card is the dreadful terrifying E-Merc Cursed Conqueror. A dark knight that can't be stopped by magic, trap, and effects. It continue to fight until it perish. A tragic knight indeed.

Izumi shuddered: This card looked scary! I wouldn't want to face this guy in an actual duel.

Alexander: You mustn't.

Izumi blinked: I mustn't what?

Alexander: If you face the Cursed Conqueror in a duel, you'll be cursed.

Izumi: Cursed?

Alexander: That's right. Once he dealt a direct attack to you, he'll start coming after you. Even when the duel is over, his spirit will revive and seek you. Once he finds you, he'll keep attacking you until you're dead. Why do you think that Domon will never appear again? He sadly passed away.

Izumi: NOOOOOOOO! I don't wanna die! Hey…wait a minute, I saw Domon in class today! ALEX!

Alexander laughed: Oh, Izumi, you're so gullible.
