"Get back! Back you blood sucking freaks! Back!!!"

Duke and Tristan were down in the WWII tunnels that intercepted with the sewer system, they couldn't get any closer to Prince Vlad's lair because they were surrounded by his un-dead minions.

"Get back or I'll blow your brains out!" yelled Tristan.

All the vampires snarled and growled as they advanced.

"Okay! I warned you!"

BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA

Tristan and Duke were told not to shoot to kill because these people were just innocent victims that could be cured when they destroyed Prince Vlad. So all he fired were some warning shots.

"I should've known they wouldn't have the guts for this kind of fun." said the Vampire Weevil.

"Let's get them!" said the Vampire Rex.

Duke and Tristan had already used up all their garlic bombs getting this far. They knew they had been told not to resort to lethal force, but it looked like they didn't have a choice. Just then Duke noticed a huge pipe above them and got an idea.

"Tristan, get in the water!"

"Are you kidding? It's probably full of disease; I'm not jumping in there."

Since Tristan was unwilling to cooperate Duke kicked him into the sewer water, then he jumped in himself. Duke was already regretting his decision.

"Oh my lord! If a dead fish and a skunk had a baby, and the baby puked, and a dog ate the puke along with some old sneakers and rotten eggs, this smells like the fecal matter of that dog!"

Duke looked up at the vampires advancing towards them.

"Sorry guys but dinner's canceled!"

Duke took aim at the pipe from under the water and fired with his flamethrower.

KABOOM!!!

The entire room shook knocking Joey off his feet. He pulled out his cell phone to reach the others.

"What the hell was that?!"

"That was the sound of Duke blowing up a gas line so we could escape a horde of Prince Vlad's goons." said Tristan.

"You do realize you probably cost lord knows how much money in property damage."

"Don't worry about that boys. It's on me." said Pegasus "Have any of you found Prince Vlad yet?"

"I've only run into Bandit Keith." said Joey "But Yugi isn't answering his phone."

"He's probably dueling. I'll send you all his coordinates through the GPS systems I placed in your phones."

Joey received Yugi's signal and started heading in that direction.

"Hold it right there monkey boy."

"Kaiba? Get out of my way! I need to find Yugi and my sister!"

"Sorry Wheeler but you're sister is currently being wed to my master, as for Yugi he's finally getting what he deserves…"

"Get out of my way Kaiba!"

"If you want to get past me you'll need to beat me in a…"

BANG!

"AAAGGGGHHHH!!! YOU SHOT ME YOU…"

BANG!

Kaiba had been shot in both of his legs.

"Boy I've wanted to do that forever." said Joey as he walked over the wailing Kaiba.

Yugi was barely standing up; the Curse of Nosferatu was slowly draining ¾ of his blood. And he couldn't stand the blood that was raining down on him and everything else as a result of Prince Vlad's Blood Storm field spell.

(Yugi: 400)

(Vlad: 1000)

Prince Vlad had taken two of Yugi's monster under his control, and his doppelganger was getting stronger every time it destroyed something. Right now the only thing that stood between Yugi and defeat was the swords of revealing light.

"It's my turn." said Vlad.

He drew his card.

"Because of Blood Storm's effect I now gain 500 life points for every Vampire I have out."

(Vlad: 2500)

"Now I'll activate the spell card The Vampire's Crystal Ball! Once during my turn I can look at either the cards in your hand or the top five cards in your deck. For now I think I'll look at what's in your deck."

(Not a real card)

Yugi was forced to show Prince Vlad the top five cards of his deck.

"Hmm… Nice cards. Now I activate the spell card Dark Magic! This allows me to draw from my deck until I have six cards in my hand."

(We wish that was a real card)

Prince Vlad drew six cards to fill his empty hand.

"Now I activate the spell card Call of the Reaper! This allows me to pay 1000 life points so I can declare the name of one card, and if you happen to have that card in your hand, deck, or on your side of the field it automatically goes to the graveyard."

(Once again, not a real card)

(Vlad: 1500)

"And I think I'll choose… Buster Blader!"

Instantly Yugi's Buster Blader flew from his deck and into his graveyard.

"That's one turn down, in two more I'll be able to attack you again."

Yugi wasn't sure what he was going to do. For now all he could do was stall for time. He drew his card.

"Search your deck from now until judgment day, there is nothing you can do to stop me Yugi Muto! I have seen the future! I will defeat you in this duel! I will rule this world of yours with an Iron fist with Serenity by my side! And the United States President will be overthrown by Ewoks!!!"

"Ewoks? This guy's nuts." thought Yugi.

"I'll play one card face down and end my turn."

"It seems that's all you can do. I thought when I challenged you to a duel I'd be dueling the King of Games. But you're just a sad little boy who's gotten in way over his head."

Vlad drew his card.

"Now thanks to the effect of my Blood Storm field spell I gain 500 more life points for every Vampire I have out!"

(Vlad: 3000)

"Now I'll activate the effect of my Vampire's Crystal Ball to look at the cards in your hand."

Yugi was forced to show his hand.

"Hmm… I see you have the fabled Dark Magician… Your favorite card if I'm correct… Well he won't be around for long because now I play another Call of the Reaper! By paying 1000 life points I can send him right to the graveyard."

(Vlad: 2000)

Yugi's Dark Magician flew from his hand to his graveyard.

"Just one more turn Yugi… I hope you've made your peace with God."

The Curse of Nosferatu was taking its toll on Yugi, he could barely stand up, and the whole world was getting fuzzy. He didn't have anything in his hand that could help him.

"I… I… I pass."

"Very well. It's my turn then, and since it is I gain 500 life points for every vampire on my side of the field thanks to Blood Storm."

(Vlad: 3500)

"Now I play my third and final copy of Call of the Reaper! And I'll use it to destroy your Blockman!"

The Grim Reaper appeared behind Yugi's Blockman and slashed it with his scythe. Now Yugi was defenseless.

(Vlad: 2500)

"Now I activate the spell card River of Blood! This gives me an extra 1000 life points for every vampire on my side of the field!"

(Not a real card, but you probably guessed that)

(Vlad: 5500)

"Three turns have passed Yugi, so now your swords of light are extinguished... What's wrong now you look so sad… Losing your life doesn't feel that bad… Even if it does don't worry… your friends will soon join you."

Yugi was on his knees breathing heavily. The Curse of Nosferatu was draining him of every last drop of blood. He didn't know how he could possibly defeat Prince Vlad when he could barely see what he was doing. He was certain Atem would have found some way to defeat him by now… But Atem was gone.

"No… I can't give up… No matter how hopeless it looks I can't let this monster get the best of me… But he has a lot more life points then I do, and he has three vicious monsters in play where I have none! Nothing in my hand can help me… But it takes just one card to turn the tide."

Yugi drew his card.

"I play the spell card Magical Mallet! This… this let's me shuffle any cards in my hand that I don't want back into my deck and draw the same number of cards and add them to my hand."

Yugi drew his cards. He had drawn it… It was one of the cards that Pegasus had given him. It had a picture of an elaborate golden cross on it.

"I play Golden Cross of Divine Providence!"

(I don't have to tell you it isn't a real card do I?)

A huge Golden Cross emerged out of the ground. Prince Vlad hissed at the sight of it.

"Now not only can your vampire's not attack but… agh… all the spell and trap cards you have out are destroyed!"

"NO!!!"

All Prince Vlad's spell cards were destroyed including the Curse of Nosferatu, Yugi didn't get his blood back, but at least he had stopped the downpour of blood that came as a result of Blood Storm.

"And since your Vampire's Gaze is no longer in play I regain control of the two monsters you stole from me!"

Both Yugi's Mystical Elf and Magician's Valkyria were cured of their vampirism and returned to his side of the field.

"And since you no longer have Blood Storm and The Curse of Nosferatu in play… agh… you… ow… your doppelganger loses 1000 attack points!"

(ATK: 5900)

"It doesn't matter! With 5900 attack points I'm still more powerful then you!"

"Oh I'm not too worried about that… Thanks to my… ugh… Golden Cross of Divine Providence your doppelganger can't attack… And I've… agh… already figured out a way to destroy it… First I play Graceful Charity so that I can draw three cards so long as I discard two. Next I activate the effect of my Monster Reincarnation… By discarding one card from my hand I can take one card from my graveyard and return it to my hand… Now I reveal my face down card… Magical Dimension!"

"NO!!!"

"I use the power of my Magical Dimension to sacrifice my Mystical Elf and summon… agh… summon… oww… The Dark Magician Girl!"

(ATK: 2000 DEF: 1700)

The Dark Magician Girl was on the field. Yugi knew he couldn't fail now.

"And since the Dark Magician is in my graveyard The Dark Magician Girl gains 300 attack points!"

(ATK: 2300)

"Now I'll use the effect of my Magical Dimension to destroy your Prince Vlad doppelganger!"

Prince Vlad's doppelganger was blasted with a huge burst of magical energy. But through the smoke Yugi could hear the evil vampire laughing.

"What now?"

"You thought it was over mortal? Hardly…"

The smoke cleared revealing the most hideous monster Yugi had ever seen. It looked like a vicious cross between a human and a giant bat. The creature had a muscular body, two huge wings bursting out of its back, giant jagged claws, big pointy ears, dripping fangs and two burning red eyes.

"Holy crap! What the hell is that!?!"

"By destroying my doppelganger you've only made him stronger… Behold my mightiest monster! PRINCE VLAD EVIL INCARNATE!!!"

(ATK: 3000 DEF: 0)

Yugi had no choice but to end his turn. None of his monsters could stand up to that monstrosity.

"Now that it's my turn my Prince Vlad Evil Incarnate gains 1000 attack points!"

(ATK: 4000)

"It doesn't matter! Thanks to the Golden Cross of Divine Providence you still can't attack!"

"Well then I'll just have to destroy it won't I? I activate the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon, and I'll use it to destroy your precious cross!"

The Golden Cross of Divine Providence was sucked into the vortex.

"And since you love the Dark Magician Girl so much I think I'll destroy her first!"

"No!"

"Prince Vlad Evil Incarnate! Attack the Dark Magician Girl!"

Prince Vlad Evil Incarnate flew at the Dark Magician Girl, but Yugi's Magician's Valkyria intercepted the attack and was destroyed instead.

"What?! This can't be!"

"It seems you've forgotten Prince Vlad… When Magician's Valkyria is… ugh… on the field… agh… You can't attack any other spellcasters I have in play without… agh… destroying her first…"

"It doesn't matter! You'll still lose the rest of your life points!"

"I… don't… think so…"

"What!?!"

"Remember when I played Monster… Monster… Reincarnation… I used it to bring Kuriboh back to my hand. Which I'll use to… to… to… reduce… your monster's… the damage… I take to… ohhh… zero."

"Very well… So you've survived one more turn… I doesn't matter… It won't be long now…"

Yugi wasn't sure if Prince Vlad was referring to the fact that he had so few life points left, or the fact that he looked like he was about to pass out. He was already on the ground, barely supported by one trembling arm and pale as a ghost.

"It's… my… turn."

Yugi couldn't let Prince Vlad destroy the rest of his life points, or the Dark Magician Girl.

"I… lay… one card… face down."

"Good… Now it's my turn! So my Prince Vlad Evil Incarnate gains another 1000 attack points!"

(ATK: 5000)

"Now destroy the Dark Magician Girl and the rest of his life points!"

The Dark Magician Girl braced herself.

"Not so fast… I activate… Mirror Force…"

Prince Vlad Evil Incarnate's attack was reflected right back at it, but when the smoke cleared nothing had happened.

"Wha… What?"

"Sorry Yugi, but my Prince Vlad Evil Incarnate can't be destroyed by monster, spell, or trap effects… And something tells me you don't have a monster with over 5000 attack points in your deck."

"I don't believe this… He's… unstoppable."

"Precisely… And look at you… You have no cards in your hand and the only card you have in play is your precious Dark Magician Girl… And even if you switch it into defense mode I can use Prince Vlad's other effect to turn it into attack mode… Which means this duel is over no matter what card you draw."
