YOUR POV…
You grimaced. It was your turn, and you were out of moves. But… you kept thinking until you thought Of course! It's right in front of me! I can take them both out in one turn and do some serious damage. I still can't draw because of Thunder Fool, but perhaps that won't matter. Heart of the Cards, help me out! I need it! "My turn!" you said. "I can't draw, so I guess I'll just use an old favorite of mine. Namely, Fissure! This spell destroys one monster on your side with the lowest ATK. Since they are equal, it doesn't matter. I'll just destroy one of your Solar Flare Dragons!" Chi screamed. This was good. However, you weren't done.
"Next I sacrifice my Weatherman to summon… Caius the Shadow Monarch (2400, 1000)! He's got a wicked ability. When he's summoned I can remove any card I want from play! I choose your other Solar Flare Dragon!" you said.
"HUH?" said Chi.
"Yes! I then attack you directly with Caius! (Your LP: 3000 Chi's LP: 1600). I end my turn." you said, bracing yourself for the temperature to rise. You weren't disappointed. Chi looked very tired. He was huffing and puffing.
"Huff Huff Huff… Fine! I activate the card Dian Keto the Cure Master! This means that I gain 1000 Life Points! (Your LP: 3000 Chi's LP: 2600)." he said. Hoo boy… you thought to yourself.
"Next I activate my facedown, Call of the Haunted! This lets me summon a monster from my graveyard. I choose Solar Flare Dragon! Next, I activate the card Dimension Fusion! This allows me to pay 2000 Life Points to summon all monsters that were removed from play! I summon my other Solar Flare Dragon! But, I'm not done yet. I activate Polymerization so I can fuse my 3 Solar Flare Dragons together to summon… Solar Prominence Dragon (3500, 1800)!"
"My god!" you said in disbelief.
"This card's got a killer ability! Every turn I can add a Flare Counter onto him, and at any time I can remove all Flare Counters. If I do this, you lose 500 Life Points for each! Not only that, but if there is a Fire attribute monster on the field, he can't be attacked at all! Finally, I add a Counter onto him and attack! Destroy Caius the Shadow Monarch!" he said manically.
"OH NO!" you said. "NOT CAIUS!" (Your LP: 2100 Chi's LP: 600). Soon, you regained your composure. You thought, Oh no. Just as I get out of one of his traps, he sets another! Come on Heart of the Cards, guide me!!
"DRAW!" you said with vigor. You looked at your card and smiled. "I activate Pot of Greed, so I can draw 2 cards." you drew them, and smiled. "This duel's over! I activate, Zeal of the Dark Fiend! This means that I can pay 2000 Life Points to summon a Dark Zeal token on both sides of the field!" (Your LP: 100 Chi's LP: 600) you said.
"Huh?! Are you nuts?! You just spent almost all of your Life Points to give me a free monster!" he said, utterly confused.
"Hehe… I'm not the one who's nuts. I'm about to win! I activate my other card, Monster Reincarnation! This lets me add a monster in my graveyard to my hand. I choose, Caius the Shadow Monarch." you said.
"OH NO! NOT CAIUS AGAIN!" he said, seriously freaking out.
"Yes. Next, I sacrifice my Dark Zeal token to summon him! You know what that means. I can remove from play a monster on the field! I choose your Dark Zeal token!" you said.
"What?! Why didn't you destroy my Solar Prominence Dragon?" he said, not knowing that he just lost.
"Very simple. When Caius removes a Dark monster from play, he gets another ability. It makes you take 1000 damage!" you said.
"WHAT?!" screamed Chi. You smiled. You won. (Your LP: 100 Chi's LP: 0)
