Here is the duel: Zane vs Yuki! Let's see how Zane does against Yuki. This is gonna be one tough battle, that's all I have to say. Review please!
Zane was against Yuki. It had been promised that Zane would one day face Yuki Moto in a duel. After all, it was Yuki who showed Zane the way. He was lost through his anger and hatred and Yuki gave the pro duelist back his happiness of dueling back. Perhaps this was his way of doing it, despite the intentions being to protect Syrus.
"Ladies first," Zane smirked.
"Very well," Yuki agreed before drawing her first card. "I'll start by summoning Kuribi and sacrifice him, so I can use my spell card Family Ritual. With this, I can summon Father Doll, Mother Doll, Brother Doll, and Sister Doll."
Kuribi disappeared and four dolls appeared on the field. If Chazz were to have seen the Mother Doll and Father Doll during his duel with Yuki, questions would have stirred up. On the field was a doll version of Yugi, a short brown haired woman, a girl that looked like Yuki, and a boy with spiky black hair and glowing purple eyes. They were all dollish figured.
The Father Doll had 2600 attack points and 2300 defense, Mother Doll had the same amount as Father Doll, Brother Doll had 2300 attack points and 2000 defense, and Sister Doll had the same amount as Brother Doll. Zane was amused and showed a smirk.
Yuki's deck was based off her own personality as a five-year-old. Each card represented a part of her and memories she cherished. Zane was aware of this. He wasn't surprised that the four cards represented the Moto family.
"Nice play," Zane complimented.
"Because they are all out on the field, I can place one trap and one spell card on the top of my deck at any order I wish," Yuki explained as she searched through her deck and placed one card on top. "I now place two cards face down. You're up!"
"Intending to not play by communications and not by strategies. Just like your father," Zane smirked. He drew his card. "Since I have no other monsters to control, I Special Summon Cyber Dragon in attack mode!" Cyber Dragon appeared on the field with brilliance. Yuki showed her fun-loving smile. "I then place two cards face-down. Your move."
"I'll have Father Doll attack you," Yuki announced. "It might hurt. Dad can get a little rough sometimes."
Father Doll came on its way to destroying Cyber Dragon when Zane revealed a Trap Card.
"Rare Metalmorph makes it to where Cyber Dragon gains 500 attack points. Pity really. I was hoping more from you, Moto," Zane glared.
"Hey," Yuki shrugged. "We are just starting aren't we?"
"And yet you still show spirit," Zane smirked in reply.
"I'll end my turn," Yuki said.
Zane frowned and glared, "I summon Proto Cyber Dragon. With this effect, I can treat it as a Cyber Dragon." He peered at Yuki who showed the same spirit as Yugi Moto himself. "I use Polymerization to fuse Cyber Dragon with Proto Cyber Dragon and create Cyber Twin Dragon." A two-headed dragon appeared on the field, which gave Yuki goosebumps filled with excitement. "Destroy Sister Doll!"
"Trap!" Yuki announced. "Father's Orders! I can use Father Doll to protect Sister Doll or Brother Doll."
Cyber Twin Dragon attacked the Yugi doll figure and it was wiped from the field. Yuki was left with 3800 life points. Zane kept his frown, but understood the story Yuki was trying to tell the Cyber Dragon Duelist. The Father Doll sacrificed himself to protect the Sister Doll. Yugi had sacrificed himself to the Shadow Realm to protect Yuki, her brother, or both.
"Whom was Yugi protecting, you or Yugi?" Zane asked, referring to Yugi as in Yugi Moto II, the son of Yugi Moto Senior.
"Both," Yuki explained. "Dad was in Asia trying to uncover the mysteries of the Gargoyles that are shown as statues on top of castles. They're not just decorations as you can see. They're creatures of the Shadow Realm, like the evil god Zork. Anyways, we found out someone was trying to resurrect them. Dad tried to stop this mad man and he challenged Dad to a Shadow Game. It was getting tense. When Dad was winning, that man used dark magic to trap my brother and I. We couldn't escape and if Dad won, we would be sent to the Shadow Realm. If my dad lost, we would be free, so he lost for our sakes."
"I'm very sorry," Zane said. "Yugi is willing to put his life in harms way just to save the both of you. Kinda like me with Syrus."
"Only Dads are more protective than brothers."
"I'll place one card face-down. Your turn," Zane finished.
"My turn!" Yuki shouted before drawing her next card. "Because Father Doll is in the graveyard, Sister Doll and Brother Doll gain another 500 points." Brother Doll and Sister Dolls attack points were now 2800 and their defense points were now 2500. "I'll now switch them to defense mode, so I can bring out my spell card Sword and Shield," Yuki smirked as Zane watched dumbfounded. His Cyber Twin Dragon was now in defense mode while Yuki's Brother and Sister Doll were in attack mode. "Sister Doll, attack Cyber Twin Dragon!" Sister Doll punched the defensive dragon and it crashed in pieces. "And because her family is on the field, you take piercing damage. Even though Father Doll is in the graveyard, he's still on the field."
Zane's life points were now 3300. Zane glared at Yuki while his life points dropped. There was another part to the story that this girl was trying to explain.
"Because your father is in the Shadow Realm, you're willing to fight with his strength given to you and Yugi," Zane understood.
"Now Brother Doll attacks you directly!" Yuki shouted gloriously. Brother Doll kicked Zane in the shin and his life points dropped to 500 points. Zane was cornered and he knew it, but the duel wasn't over yet, not even close.
"So, Yugi is in this with you as well?" Zane asked as Yuki nodded. It was true, her brother has a device like hers that collected 10% of people's duel energy or Ba. Dueling energy was the same as someone's Ba. For Yugi, Yuki's brother, he dueled in a dance off since Duel Monsters wasn't his best talent.
"I place two more cards face-down and end my turn," Yuki finished. She held a serious look. She was in a serious conversation with Zane through dueling, so the girl only smiled at the impressive monsters Zane held.
"Good," Zane drew his next card. "I summon another Cyber Dragon, then I use Monster Reincarnation by discarding one card from my hand..." He then discarded one card and took a card from his graveyard. "... to summon Cyber Twin Dragon!" Cyber Twin Dragon Reappeared. "Now I activate De-fusion to defuse my dragon." Cyber Twin Dragon was now Cyber Dragon and Proto Cyber Dragon. "Then I use Polymerization again to combine my three dragons and create CYBER END DRAGON!" Cyber End Dragon roared boldly as Yuki looked up with a brilliant smile on her face. She then furrowed her eyebrows to wait for the attack. "Now, attack Sister Doll!"
The Sister Doll was about to be attacked when Kuribi appeared on the field and took the damage. Yuki received no damage. Zane growled in shock and annoyance.
"Since Kuribi was sent to the graveyard, I can use him to block an attack from you!" Yuki announced.
"Hm," Zane humphed before ending his turn. He knew Yuki wasn't willing to give up no matter what the cost.
Yuki drew another card, and then declared, "I use my spell card Sibling Unite. With this, both Sister Doll and Brother Doll can share their attack and defense points." Brother Doll and Sister Doll combined their attack and defense points, so their attack power was 5600 and their defense was 5000. "They will both attack your Cyber End Dragon!"
Zane narrowed his eyes and shouted, "TRAP! Attack Negate and I will also use De-Spell to get rid of your Sibling Unite card."
Yuki gasped as her Brother Doll's and Sister Doll's attack and defense were back to normal: 2800 attack points and 2500 defense points. Despite this, she kept a straight face. This duel wasn't over yet. Her father was still in the Shadow Realm and needed saving. As long as there was hope, Yuki would not give up.
"I'll place one card face-down," Yuki announced before ending her turn.
"Your field looks hopeless. Despite your life points being higher, I still have my Cyber End Dragon with 4000 attack points while your monsters have lower than 3000 attack. How do you expect to save your father in this type of situation?" Zane asked Yuki seriously.
"I won't give up!" Yuki shouted boldly. "My father wouldn't and neither will I. I'm going to save my father if it's the last thing I do! If that were Syrus, you'd do the very same thing."
"I wouldn't use other people's energy," Zane mentioned.
"This is the only way I can save him," Yuki glared without emotion. "If there was any other way, I'd do it. My friends and I have tried to find other ways or means, there's nothing. Zane, I have to open the doors to the Shadow Realm and fetch my father. I know he's still out there somewhere!"
"What if you don't find him?"
"I WILL! He's strong and has been through worse situations than this!"
"Like what? What would be worse than ending up in the Shadow Realm?" Zane asked rhetorically.
"He was inside a giant sea dragon. If you want to go farther than that, then be my..."
"No thank you," Zane grimaced. "One more question."
"What?" Yuki asked glaringly.
"If you do get to the Shadow Realm, how do you plan on getting back?"
"To be honest," Yuki replied before her face stared onto the ground. "I'm not sure. I just want to see Daddy again. I... I just wanna see his face."
"So, say you get to the Shadow Realm and find your Dad. His sacrifice will be in vain."
"No, it won't. If we do end up trapped, we won't be trapped alone."
Zane's expression changed to a dumbfounded look. Yuki wasn't planning on going to the Shadow Realm alone! Who else was she bringing? Jaden maybe if he agreed, but who else? Yugi Moto Jr. perhaps, but who else?
"Who else besides Yugi?"
"My friends," Yuki replied. "We're all in this together to the bitter end. Even if you defeat me now, they won't be stopped. I only came here to gain duel energy from powerful duelists and to be closer to our destination."
Zane smiled and said, "Unity, friendship, that type of stuff is what your father mentioned in our duel. It was what Jaden always depended on through thick and thin."
"It's also the card keep in my deck. Yu-Jo Friendship," Yuki said. She activated the very card from her hand, which had a picture of her father and his dear friend Joey Wheeler. "I still have 3800 life points, but you have 500. My trap card on the field is Ring of Destruction. If I use it on Sister Doll, we both take damage and you'll automatically lose and I'll have 20% of your Ba. If you take my handshake, we'll both have 2150 life points and it'll end up in a draw. By then, I won't take either you or Syrus' Ba. Though, I will still find a way to collect enough duel energy."
"You're that desperate to rescue your dad and yet are willing to give me a chance to not have to risk my life or be involved in any way, shape, or form. Making it so we're both even?" Zane asked as Yuki nodded. "Even through the need of rescuing your father, you're still the same girl who helped me on my feet. I can't thank you enough for being there when I felt lost."
Yuki smiled and so did Zane. They both stared at each other with understanding. Zane took a deep breath to make his decision. He would either shake Yuki's hand and not give out his duel energy or reject it and help Yuki rescue her father, Yugi Moto. Yuki walked over to Zane and lifted her hand. He smiled and his hand lifted toward Yuki's hand.
