As the two teams were looking at each other, the atmosphere became intense as Keku had his Dark Scorpion Gorg on the field while they had two Newdorias and The Agent of Mystery – Earth, Amon knew that Keku would never attack his Newdorias since if Keku did, he would lose his Gorg for good since it would be removed from play.
'I know we got this. We are not letting them get to us no matter what method they use against us,' Amon thought to himself as he glanced over at their friends, their mother and Pegasus, who were watching from the sidelines. 'And we got a lot of support from them, so we cannot let anything or anyone harm them,' he stated to himself as his Millennium Bracer began to glow just a bit.
"I will attack The Agent of Mystery!" Keku called out as his Dark Scorpion Gorg began to attack Selene's angelic monster.
"I don't think so! I activate my trap, Negate Attack!" Selene called out as she activated the trap card in time as Gorg stopped in his place and returned to his owner's field.
"Nice move, Selene! You got them on the ropes!" Tristan called out as the others were cheering, except for Seto and Yami who looked on while analyzing the situation.
"It's not over yet," Keku said. "I play Lightning Vortex! I sacrifice my Shrink card to make sure your playing field is emptied!" Keku shouted as he watched the magic card taking effect as all the monsters on Selene and Amon's side were eliminated from the powerful lightning attack. "I place two cards face down and end my turn," he said while looking at Selene who had a slightly worried look on her face, causing him to grin a bit victorious.
As Selene drew her card, she had the relief look on her face as she looked at her brother, who only nodded once. "I play Shining Angel in defense mode," she said as she summoned another angelic creature on the field. "I then place one card face down and end my turn," she added as she glanced at her brother for a moment.
'I hope you got a plan, sis. Their life points are 4000 and ours is 6700,' Amon said to her by thought.
'Trust me. This is going to be over real soon. We just got to make sure they don't catch on,' Selene answered him as the other nodded.
When Apep drew, she smirked faintly as she showed her card to them. "I summon Vampire Lady on the field," she said as she made her monster appeared. "Next, I equipped her with Black Pendant to boost her up to 2050 and with that, I attack your pathetic Shining Angel," Apep explained as she watched the vampire attacking the angel as it was destroyed.
"Don't be so sure you're going to win that easily," Selene said. "Thanks to your monster, I get to retrieve a monster that has 1500 or less for attack," Selene stated as she searched through her deck and pulled out the card she was looking for. "I know the exact card too! I special summon Consecrated Light in attack mode!" Selene called out as the bright sphere of light appeared, causing Keku and Apep to shield their eyes a bit.
"If you think that pathetic little thing that has zero for offense and defense is going to protect you, well you better think again! Gorg! Eliminate that pest!" Apep called out as Gorg was too blinded to see where the creature was in front of him.
"Let me explain my monster's ability. Consecrated Light makes both players not to normal or special summon any dark monsters along with declaring an attack with a dark monster," Selene began as she looked at her opponents. "It cannot be destroyed by battle with a dark monster and we take no battle damage from that battle," she explained in a calm tone of voice.
"You little—" Apep began to say as Keku glanced at her for a moment.
"Keep your head in the game," he told her, causing Apep to nod.
"I will end my turn," she said.
As Amon drew, he looked at the card as he scowled a bit. "I had enough of this," he said as he showed his magic card. "I play Heavy Storm!" He said as he watched the cards being cleared from both sides of the field.
"Looks like you take 500 life points from my Black Pendant," Apep said as the life points went down from 6700 to 6200.
"Like I care," Amon replied. "Your monsters are no longer power boosted and I end my turn," Amon stated as Keku drew his card.
"This is getting really intense," Duke said to the others.
"It's like chess," Ryou replied.
"Eh? How is it like chess?" Tristan asked Ryou.
"Think about it. Amon and Selene are the white king and queen and Apep and Keku are the black king and queen. They're sending their pawns, then knights, then rooks and then bishops to do their little dirty work," Ryou stated. "In a way, the way they are knocking each other's life points, they are like capturing pieces from each other," he added.
"So it's going to be a difficult match between them," Marik said as he looked at them. "They seem they have it figured out," he stated.
"A genuine poker face," Pegasus said as he watched the twins getting ready for the enemy's attack.
"I play Exiled Force," Keku said as he summoned his monster on the field. "They won't be there for long because I am going to tribute them to eliminate that monster of yours," he stated as he watched both monsters being destroyed on the field. "Now then. Gorg take their life points directly," he ordered as the monster struck the opponents' life points directly.
"Now since you do not have any monsters on your field to return, you must send one card from the top of your deck to the graveyard..And I choose you Amon," he said as Amon drew his card and sent it to the graveyard. Amon heard one of his monster's voices as he hated Keku for sending one of his closest spirit companions to the graveyard, causing Amon to give him a glare. "I end my turn," Keku said as he noticed the glare from the other. "Seems that we're getting closer to the end," Keku told him as Selene drew her card calmly.
'Come on, Selene. I know you are very strong to handle trash like these,' Seto thought as Selene smiled at him, which he almost forgot her telepathy ability.
"I play the field card, The Sanctuary in the Sky!" Selene called out as the scenery changed into something heavenly-like.
"Something like that is not going to save you both, dear. Give it up already," Apep said as Selene gave her a sharp glare.
"Apparently, you do not know the power of the divine," Selene answered as she showed her monster. "I play The Agent of Force – Mars!" Selene called out as her monster was summoned.
"Another zero monster? My dear, you are finally accepting defeat," Keku said.
"Wrong pal. When Sanctuary in the Sky and our life points are higher than yours, this card gains attack and defense by the difference between our life points and yours," Amon explained.
"Of course! Since Amon and Selene's life points are 4400 and their opponents' life points are 4000, that means that Mars have the status of those life points!" Yugi exclaimed.
"That means that Mars has 4400 attack and 4000 defense!" Mokuba stated as he grinned ear-to-ear.
"I think she has more in store for them," Seto said as everyone looked at him for a moment.
"He's right. If she took down either of them, they'll still have remaining life points," Yami added. "Let us see what she has in mind," he said as he watched intently to the match.
"I sacrifice The Agent of Wisdom – Mercury to special summon Master Hyperion!" Selene called as both Keku and Apep were in shock for her to do. "Even though Mercury is removed from play, this champion makes up for it," she explained.
"Since I do not have any light monsters to do his ability to destroy your cards on the field, I will handle your life points by attacking your monsters!" Selene said with a hint of victory. "Mars! Eliminate Gorg!" She ordered as Mars used his hammer to smash Gorg down, watching him being destroyed as Apep and Keku had 1400 life points left while having Vampire Lady left on the field.
"It's over. Now let Osiris take you for your trial! Master Hyperion! Attack Vampire Lady!" Selene ordered as the divine warrior burned Vampire Lady with its attack, wiping her off the field while Apep and Keku's life points went to zero.
"And the winners of the tag duel are Selene and Amon Chiba!" Mr. Croquet called out as Selene smiled tiredly as she collapsed to her knees.
"Sister!" Amon called out as he knelt down and held her up a bit.
"I'm okay..Just exhausted," Selene answered in a weak voice as Seto jumped on the platform and picked her up in his arms.
"You are definitely a tough duelist," Seto said to her as she rested her head on his shoulder as Apep and Keku felt the Shadow Realm taking them.
"Just because we've failed, doesn't mean that Master Set has not lost the battle just yet," Keku said as the souls were extracted from the bodies, causing both opponents to collapse on the ground while not breathing.
"We better go inside and have some rest," Pegasus suggested as everyone went inside while the medical staff took the bodies that Apep and Keku were inhabiting to the emergency room to be treated on.
While everyone was getting settle down from the long match, Set crossed his arms after observing the match from the television. "Seems they are stronger than they let on. Especially Selene," he said as Bakura glared at him for a moment.
"I can't wait to see you being taken down by those two," Bakura said to him with a smirk, causing Set to look over for a moment.
"You are forgetting that I have to deal not only them, but Seto and the Pharaoh as well," he answered. "But I am guessing that Seto and the Pharaoh will have their match and then it will be a four-way match or something else," Set said as he leaned back, chuckling a bit. "But soon, everything will fall and I shall achieve my goal," he stated as he began to laugh darkly within his quarters that echoed throughout the Duelist Coliseum and outside of it as well.
