Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh; that is the property of Konami and the creator Kazuki Takahashi. Nor, do I own the song Monster by Skillet. I do own a Bible and my idea for the story.

Chapter 11: Monster

"In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold"- Ephesians 4:26-27

"I play my face-down card DNA Surgery; this trap card allows me to declare one monster type and after I do that all face-up monsters become that type." "Oh no" says both Yami and Tea. "And I choose that all monsters are now Insect-type".

Once Weevil makes his declaration, Gaia's attack is then block by Insect-Barrier and the attack is then canceled. "When did Weevil get this good" thinks Tea, "he use to not be this strong; don't give up Yami, you can still do this" cheers Tea, as if she is trying to cheer up both herself and Yami.

"I end my turn" says a very reluctant Yami. "Hehehe, this is great; I've managed to block everything you thrown my way" taunts Weevil. "Just play Weevil" says a very annoyed Yami. "As you wish, I play the spell card Cell Division; which allows me to choose one face-up level 3 or lower Insect-Type monster that I control and then can special summon a Cell Division Token that has everything like my selected monster and I choose Leghul" says Weevil.

"With Pheromone Wasp and the Cell Division Token on the field, I can then use them to tribute summon my Insect Queen (2700 atk/ 2400 def)" adds Weevil as his monsters disappear and are then replace with his new monster. "Let's don't forget my Queen's special ability. She gains 200 more attack points for each Insect-Type monster on the field and because of my other trap cards there is a total of four Insect-Type monsters on the field" says a very delighted Weevil as his monster attack reaches 3500. "And to conclude my turn, I will attack you directly with Leghul since all the monsters you own are Insect-type" says Weevil.

Yami 1900/ Weevil 3900

Yami continues to struggle in his duel with Weevil; every move that he makes, it is then countered to the point of frustration. All the while, the dark voice continues to put pressures on Yami to allow them to take over and help him win the duel. The duel continues in this pattern for several more turns until the effects of Parasite Caterpillar is activated and Celtic Guardian is destroyed and is then replaced with Poison Butterfly (2700 atk/ 2300 def). Disappointed that he was unable to stop Poison Butterfly from being summoned; with his life points now at 1200, Yami reluctantly draws his next card.

This new card that Yami has drawn gives him hope. The card he has drawn is The Eye of Timaeus (1). "I finally drawn the one card that I need to get me out of this mess" thinks Yami, "I just got to see if this will work" "Looks like your luck has just run out Weevil" comments Yami confidently. "What do you mean" says Weevil a little confused and curious. "I just drawn one of the three legendary dragons of Atlantis: The Eye of Timaeus" says Yami with confidence. "I summon this legendary monster to the field and from there I plan to fuse it with Poison Butterfly so that its special effect is canceled" says Yami as he summons Timaeus. "Alright Yami" cheers Tea, "it seems like this duel is finally going to turn around"

But, just as the monster appears, it self-destructs. "What?" says a very befuddled Yami. "Hehehe, it seems like your monster didn't want to be used" comments Weevil. "But how" thinks Yami, "it's probably because of what you did in that duel with Rafael" comments the dark voice, "Timaeus refuses to be used by a duelist who willing use the Seal of Orichalcos". As the possibility for that reason hits Yami, the shame and guilt of his actions come back to the surface to torment him once more. "I end my turn" says Yami sorrowfully as the effects of Poison Butterfly chip away at his life points

Yami 700/ Weevil 3900

"Awwww, did the Pharaoh lose his confidence; because one little old card refused to be played" taunts Weevil, "just to show you that I have some heart, I will place one card on the field and end my turn". Yami's turn begins and he draws Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600 atk/1000 def) and summons it in attack mode; but Weevil activates his face-down card Infestation. Once activated both players' monsters lose attack points along with their life points. With Yami's life points now at 500, Weevil is delighted that his plan has gone so well; that he then decides that he will have a little more fun at Yami's expense.

"Hey Pharaoh, I almost forgot to tell you something" taunts Weevil. "What is it" says a very defeated Pharaoh. "I have in my pocket the key to saving Yugi" says Weevil with malice in his eyes, as he brings forth a card out of his pocket; bringing it up and after seeing Yami's hopeful expression, he proceeds to tearing the card up, right in front of him.

Metal Music starts to play

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" cries out both Yami and Tea at the sight of the card being torn. "Hehehehehehehe, now little Yugi is gone forever" says Weevil very carelessly.

The secret side of me
I never let you see

I keep it caged
But I can't control it

"Why the long look, Pharaoh? It was just a joke" says Weevil as he continues to laugh at his poor excuse of a joke.

So stay away from me
The beast is ugly
I feel the rage
And I just can't hold it

It's scratching on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake
And I can't control it

"How dare that bug play such a cruel joke, don't you agree Yami" says the dark voice sweetly. "Yes, how dare he make fun of Yugi like that" agrees Yami as the Seal appears on his forehead and grows very brightly.

Hiding under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

"How about we show that bug, what we can do" says the dark voice. "Lets" agrees Yami, as the darkness takes over.

My secret side I keep
Hid under lock and key
I keep it caged
But I can't control it

'Cause if I let him out
He'll tear me up
And break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

Sensing that something is off; Tea wonders if Weevil's sick joke had just push Yami too far. Too lost in his own laughter, Weevil fails to recognize just what his joke has done.

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

"You're right Weevil that was a hilarious joke" says Yami darkly. Confused at what he just heard, Weevil stops laughing to look at Yami. And what he sees sends chills down his spine. The Seal is glowing ever so bright upon Yami's forehead and the once kind red eyes now seem blood red with a hint of evil behind them.

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

"What's the matter Weevil" taunts Yami, "cat got your tongue? If not, I will start my turn". Yami proceeds to draw his next card. "Since, I summon my Magical Warrior to the field its acquired a spell counter and with that I can choose to remove that counter to destroy one spell/trap card that is on the field and I choose your Insect Barrier" says Yami gleefully.

It's hiding in the dark
Its teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me
It wants my soul,
It wants my heart

"With the trap card now gone, our monsters can now attack that bug and we can finally make that bug squirm" says the dark voice. "Now that my monsters are finally free to attack, you don't stand a chance" says Yami evilly, "Now I'll have my Poison Butterfly attack and destroy your monster and from their I'll have my Magical Warrior attack you directly". With the commands given, both of Yami's monsters wipe the floor with Weevil's monster and his life points.

No one can hear me scream
Maybe it's just a dream
Or maybe it's inside of me
Stop this monster!

Yami 500/ Weevil 2200

"AHHHHH, No my monster" cries out Weevil as Yami's monsters attack causing Weevil to crash into the Seal's barrier from the force of the combine attack. "And I'm not through yet" adds Yami, "I now play the spell card Berserker Soul, by discarding my entire hand I can draw until I draw a magic/trap card; but for each monster card that I draw I can send it to the graveyard and with a monster that I have chosen on the field, it can attack again" says Yami evilly as he draws his new hand.

"What has happened? I had the Pharaoh graveling at my feet and I had this duel in the bag" question Weevil to himself, "something has happened. He's regain his confidence but it's different from the other times that I've faced him". "Well, well, well. It seems like your luck has run out" comments Yami, "I've just drawn two monster card; which means that my Magical Warrior can attack you two more times"

Yami 700/ Weevil 0

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that

After the last attack, Weevil's life points have reach 0. And the duel is effectively over, but Yami isn't through yet. "We can't let him get off the hook jus yet" says the dark voice, "he still has to pay for hurting Tea" "Your right" agrees Yami.

I FEEL LIKE A MONSTER

"I continue to draw more cards and have my monster attack you some more, Weevil". Yami proceeds to have his monster attack Weevil a few more time and all the while Tea is frighten at what she is seeing. "This isn't Yami at all. The Seal must be messing with him again" concludes Tea. With tears in her eyes Tea musters up the courage and grabs a hold of him and yells "STOP it Yami. You already won" As if breaking a spell, Yami then comes to his senses; once he realizes that Tea is next to him, holding his arm.

I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster. I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I'm gonna lose control
Here's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster

The Seal disappears from his head and his blood eyes go back to their normal red color. Realizing that he has won the duel, Yami then turns his attention back to Weevil to see that he has collapse. He then goes up to Weevil and proceeds to yell and shake at the body. "Where can I find Yugi" yells Yami, trying in vain to get the information he desperately needs. But it's too late, in his rage Yami failed to see that the Seal had claim Weevil's soul; leaving him with no answers to his questions.

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

I, I feel like a monster

And that concludes the duels of revenge. I hope y'all enjoyed these last three chapters. I just couldn't bring myself to continue to leave y'all hanging on all these cliff-hangers. Hope y'all enjoyed them and if so please leave your review. Until, next time.
