Chapter 9: The Man in the Black Suit

I returned to the top of the blimp seeing how it's time for that Yugi kid who beat Grimmjow and Merik to face off. I'm just sorry ever since that first duel every one that seems to follow doesn't seem interesting to me. I like to play games and all but this whole tournament seems to be dragging on for reasons unknown. I mean I wait and wait but nothing ever happens and when it does it's like an: "Ah-ha, I've got you! So you think. Touché, that didn't work". Their duel especially went on forever. The only think I learned was that that Marik fellow had the Winged Dragon of Ra which does everything and Yugi won so he has it now. With that boring match over its time for Tousen to win his next match hopefully it'll be better. It really should only take no more than 10 minutes to finish a duel. Now it's Tousen's turn and we've to wait 10 minutes before his match starts what a drag. At first it was fun but it's been over an hour since the finals started and I'm board.


Having learned that his mood changing gas works and that it had been infecting the inhabitants of Las Noches Szayel prepares an antidote. I really didn't notice the gas was affecting me, I wonder why Aizen-sama ran off as fast as he did. Maybe he's been infected as well. To be on the safe side I'll administer the antidote to everyone. As he thought this a large yellow circle appears on the monitor behind him. A soft chime rings alerting the Espada of the new image on his computer.

"Good my repair drones have fixed the leak. Now I think I should bring those three back."

Before the Espada could begin to move from working the antidote Luppi makes his presence known.

"Who are you talking too?"

"Luppi, get out of my laboratory! Can't you see I'm trying to make enough of this medicine for everyone? I was also about to bring Tousen-dono and Gin-dono back. For me to do this I'm going to need you to leave now."

"Ok, I'll just take this and leave."

Luppi then grabs some small object from one of Szayel's tool shelves and leaves. Szayel decided not to yell at him for stealing his things this time due to his previous encounter with Harribel. After deciding returning his test subjects before finishing the antidote was the best course of action, Szayel begins to input data into the S-Grande 1.


It finally was time for Tousen and his Tuxedo to duel. With his top hat and monocle accenting the tuxedo Tousen looked simply breathtakingly hilarious in my book. His opponent, the man with an ego so huge not even Las Noches compares, a probably 18-19 year old who seems to be the one responsible for this whole silly tournament, Seto Kaiba. It was time to duel Tousen vs Kaiba, who would win. I was about to start taking bets but Grimmjow had mysteriously disappeared, I guess he's still depressed and went to go hide behind a curtain or something. That or he's gone to use the litter box, hard to tell with that guy.


Tousen and Kaiba both in unison announce to one another "Duel!" Kaiba had the first move.

"I use Graceful Charity, this allows me to draw 3 cards but I have to remove 2 from my hand, now I play Chaos Emperor Dragon- Envoy of the End (3000) and use its special ability. I lose 1000LP and we discard every card in our hands to the grave. You also take 300 damage for every card sent to the graveyard by this affect, I've 5 cards and so do you that 3000 damage. I now end my turn."

OK it was time for me to start cheering for Tousen as that was really messed up, now Tousen had no cards in his hand except for the card he'd draw next turn and there was a monster with a huge attack power on it out on the field already. "Tousen, you can't win this one! I mean you can win this one!"

"I say Gin I needn't your help. To you good fellow I shall defeat you." Tousen responded faking a British accent to make me laugh. He obviously had a plan to turn this seemingly impending defeat around.

"My draw, since you sent them to the grave yard via effect I get to special summon Despair from the Dark in defense mode. (DEF 3000) Now let's dance as I use the magic card Pot of Greed allowing me to draw two cards. Now I play the magic card Soul Exchange which allows me to use your monster as fodder for my summon. I sacrifice your dragon and play Summoned Skull (ATK 2500) and I attack your Life points directly."

"Nice comeback Tousen!" I cheered.

(Kaiba: 500LP, Tousen 1000LP)

"My turn, to think there were still duelist like you around. Well your going to be in for a real treat as I've a top draw combo for you as well. I return my Des Feral Imp from my grave to my deck. As Sinister Serpent is in my grave as well it returns to my field in attack position. (ATK 200) As I have Marie the Fallen One in my graveyard I gain 200LP. Next I'll put one card face down and end my turn."

"Foolish Kaiba, Now it is my turn. I attack with Summoned Skull." Tousen said confidently.

"I activate Mirror Force destroying all your face up monsters." Kaiba said flipping his card up.

"I thought as much, I end my turn."

(Kaiba: 700LP, Tousen 1000LP)

"My Draw, and another 200LP thanks to my monster. Now I'll play Cost Down and sacrifice my Sinister Serpent to play my Blue Eyes White Dragon! My dragon Destroy him!"

"I discard Kuriboh from my hand negating the damage."

"Nice comeback. I'll end my turn."

"Thank You. My draw. Impressive Dragon Kaiba, I think I'll take it. I activate my face down card Change of Heart allowing me to use your beast for one turn. Seeing how you've no magic or traps, and no cards in your hand for that matter I think you know what time it is."

It was a really nice duel I really was expecting Tousen to lose when it started but it looked like he was going to win against Kaiba. If my theory was right Kaiba owns the final God Card so we should be one step closer to going home. Just then I wondered something.

"Yo Tousen-san, what do you think your mask is here?"

"My mask Gin? I don't know haven't tried that out."

Tousen puts his free hand over his face and summons his mask. Obviously this world did not convert hollow mask just zanpaktou. As Tousen stood there about to obtain victory, him clad in white about to attack with an equally white dragon I couldn't help but think this was symbolic in some way. Like Tousen was truly a pure warrior there to eliminate an egotistical evil. But then I noticed he still had the monocle and the top hat on which made it funny to me. Tousen, the man in the tuxedo who wears a mask, that kinda looked familiar to me.

Tousen reached out his hand as though giving an order to fire, "In the name of Justice I shall punish you!"

OK now I'm sure I've seen this before somewhere. Just then something unexpected happened a lightning bolt came down and struck Tousen. Ah right before he wins something probably fatal strikes Tousen in the head. Well what can I do but check on him. Kaiba stood there in shock while I examined Tousen, he was still alive.

"Gin is that you? The light it's fading."

"Oh you're going back to normal?"

"Gin, this is serious I think I'm going to-"

Just then Tousen exploded! Like many a thing before it I'm not going to ask how, although this is going to be hard to explain to Captain when I get back. It's going to be like: "Gin where's Tousen? Oh he blew up sir. How? I don't know." Well anywho Tousen's gone, It's up to me to avenge him now.


"This round goes to Kaiba due to his opponent being unable to finish the duel." The announcer said still in shock of Explode!Tousen.

Well just one duel left, now how am I going to get hold of both of those god cards if I can only win one at a time?
