"So I am giving you two choices: Forfeit or lose your father," Set offered as he looked at the twins, who had an unsure look on their faces.
"That bastard! Using their father like that for world domination!" Joey said as he wanted to go up there and deck him if the Seal of the Underworld wasn't there. If it could destroy the Egyptian God cards, heaven knows what would it do to a living being.
"How low can this guy get!?" Duke demanded as he narrowed his eyes towards Set's direction.
"I would give my prized card to give him a good beating," Tristan scowled.
"Do not..surrender to this monster," Shinichi said to his children as he lifted his head up to them slightly. "You know you will figure something out," he told them as he shifted his eyes over to Layla. "I am so sorry for what you went through. I didn't want you or the children to suffer," he said to her weakly.
"It wasn't your fault. Stop blaming yourself now," Layla whispered to her late husband. "You know that we love you and we knew that you would watch over us," she stated.
"Are you with someone?" He asked her as she nodded, causing him to look over at Pegasus. "Is he treating you and our children right?" He asked again.
"He is. Selene is dating Seto Kaiba," Layla replied as she pointed over to Seto's direction, causing Shinichi to look at him. "..I'm going to talk with him before I pass over," Shinichi said to her.
"I know, dear. You're just being a protective father over your little girl," Layla replied.
"What is your answer?" Set asked them again.
"The answer is no. We will not surrender to scum like you," Amon answered.
"We will protect the people and the world from you," Selene added as she narrowed her eyes slightly in determination.
"And believe us, we will release your hold on their father's soul, Set. You can count on that," Yami said in confidence.
"Yeah! If you can handle worse creeps than this guy, you can overcome anyone, Yami!" Téa said in a cheering tone.
"And you got us to support you guys!" Mokuba added as he smiled at Selene and Amon.
"Having cheers from this mortals? How pathetic can you both be?" Set asked them.
"Actually, we should be the ones feeling pity for you," Amon said to him.
"You will never experience the things that we all feel. Happiness. Love. Comfort. And we do feel sorry for you," Selene answered to Set, causing Set to glow dark as he was enraged.
"Enough chatter!" Set snapped as he drew his card. "I play Bowganian in defense mode," he said as he summoned his monster. "Next, I play my magic card, Nightmare's Steel Cage. For the next two turns, you will be unable to attack," he explained.
"That's fine with us," Amon said as he looked at his sister. "Your turn, dear sister. Make sure not to hold back," he told her.
"Yes brother," she said as she drew her card. "I play Nova Summoner in attack mode and end my turn," Selene said as her monster was summoned. Since there was nothing that she could do, she looked at Set.
"Since it is my standby phase, you take six hundred damage, Selene. It wouldn't be fair if you were the only one untouched," Set said as he witnessed Selene flinching from the damage, which their life points becoming now 9200.
"Are you all right?" Yami asked her calmly. "I'm fine. Please do not worry," she answered him in a soft voice.
"I place one monster face down in defense and end my turn," Set said as he looked at Yami. "Think carefully, Pharaoh. You do not need to screw this match up," he taunted as Yami gave him an annoyed look as he drew his card.
"Pharaoh better do something to make it a guaranteed win or else Set will crush him," Malik said.
"Yeah and I don't think the Medjai and Priestess can handle Set," Bakura said.
"Enough with the negative views! He can do it!" Téa snapped as she looked at the two dark entities.
"We cannot control what our Yamis say, Téa. Please do not lose your temper," Marik said as he looked at her for a moment.
"Plus we're a little afraid if we do try to control them," Ryou admitted as he scratched behind his head a bit.
After Yami had drawn his card, he looked at it for a moment. "I play Magician's Valkyria in attack mode," he said as he summoned his monster. "Next, I play Mage Power to boost her attack points up to another thousand," he said as his monster's attack power went from 1600 to 2600. "I play one card face down on the field and end my turn," Yami said as Set drew his card as the Nightmare's Steel Cage had vanished.
"Since it is my standby phase, I pick Selene to take the 600 damage from my Bowganian's effect," Set said as Selene's life points went down a bit. "Now I play the magic card, Pot of Greed," Set said as he drew two more cards. "Time to sacrifice some monsters," he stated. "I sacrifice Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier and Nova Summoner to special summon Lava Golem!" Set exclaimed as both monsters were sacrifice as the large monster appeared. "Next I play my last Nightmare's Steel Cage and end my turn," Set said as he smirked a bit wicked.
As Amon took the thousand damage from Lava Golem, he drew his card as he looked at it for a moment. "I play Gravekeeper's Descendant on the field," Amon said as he summoned another faithful monster on the field. "Next, I place two cards face down and end my turn," Amon added as he knew that Mage Power was giving Magician's Valkyria a boost up to another thousand.
"Things are truly looking grim for you all," Set said as he drew his card. "This world will be ruled by me soon enough and there is nothing you can do about it!" He added while laughing wicked afterwards.
As the duel was becoming more intense, with Yami's team having 7600 life points while Set having 7300, everyone was watching the match, fearing that this was the most toughest opponent that they have ever seen. Even some of them were worried that their support was not enough for Selene, Yami and Amon while they were dueling Set.
"They got this," Shinichi said as he knew that they would draw something useful from their decks to eliminate the threat.
"I know," Layla answered her husband. "I can see it in their eyes," she added as Pegasus walked over to her and Shinichi.
"If I know Yami boy, he always win at the end," he stated as Shinichi looked at him for a moment.
"So you're dating my wife now?" Shinichi asked, causing Pegasus to nod his head once. "Promise me you'll take care of them. I don't want anyone messing with her or the children," Shinichi said.
"I promise," Pegasus replied to him as he looked over. "Just have a talk with Kaiba boy after this is over," he said.
"Of course. I have meet the man who's courting my daughter," Shinichi replied, causing Layla to smile.
"Just don't scare him too badly, Shinichi. You usually got that protective streak," Layla said.
After Set had drew his card, he looked over at them. "Selene, another direct damage towards you," he said as Selene took another six hundred damage. "It seems that I do not have anything to summon," he stated as he looked over. "I end my turn," he added as he watched Selene drawing on her turn while she took the thousand damage.
Selene took a breath as she closed her eyes and then opening them slowly to see what she drew. "I'm changing the scenery from Necrovalley to my element. I play 'The Sanctuary in the Sky'," she said as she changed the scenery once again. "Next, I sacrifice Lava Golem for my Airknight Parshath," she said as she offered the large creature for a half-man, half-beast being. "I place one card face down and I end my turn," she said as the Nightmare's Steel Cage was over.
As Set drew his card, he pointed his finger towards Amon's direction. "Take six hundred damage from my monster," he said as Amon was not phased. He smirked a bit. "I play Mystical Space Typhoon to eliminate the Mage Power," he stated.
"I activate my trap card, Divine Punishment!" Selene said as the magic card was negated and destroyed.
"Good work, Selene!" Téa cheered as she was glad that they were not giving up just yet. "Then I end my turn," Set said as Yami drew his card.
"Time to end this. I play Swords of Revealing Light!" Yami said as he played his magic card as he saw a Sangan next to the Spirit Reaper in defense mode. "Next, I sacrifice Amon's Gravekeeper's Descendant for Dark Magician Girl," he said as he sacrifice Amon's monster as Dark Magician Girl appeared, giggling a bit. "Now I play the magic card, Sage's Stone, to special summon my Dark Magician!" He exclaimed as the monster appeared from the magic card's ability.
"Now Airknight Parshath, attack Spirit Reaper!" He said as the Airknight Parshath went after Spirit Reaper. "Airknight Parshath has the same ability as Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier. After the damage, I get to draw one card from Airknight's other effect," Yami said as he watched the life points go down to 5600.
"Way to go, Yami!" Yugi cheered for his other half. "You got him on the run!" Tristan said as he grinned a bit. "Don't let him win!" Joey shouted. Set turned his head over as his eyes glowed dark while releasing a dark aura, causing Tristan and Joey to gulped a bit while being petrified inside.
"I attack Sangan with my Dark Magician Girl!" Yami called out as he watched Dark Magician Girl eliminating Sangan with her powerful spell attack.
"And thanks to that attack, Sangan's effect goes off," Set said as he drew his card, which it was Mystic Tomato. "Now Dark Magician will strike at your Bowganian with Dark Magic Attack!" Yami said as he watched Dark Magician eliminating Bowganian with its attack.
"Now since it is my second standby phase, I play the magic card Thousand Knives," Yami explained as he looked at Set. "I get to choose to pick a face up monster on the side of your field to destroy while having Dark Magician on the field. And I pick Spirit Reaper!" Yami said as he watched a thousand knives appeared in front of Dark Magician as Spirit Reaper was destroyed. "I place one card face down and end my turn," Yami added as their friends were cheering for them since they were one step closer defeating Set and to figure out by saving Shinichi's soul.
"You will regret your actions, Pharaoh. I will not lose to you!" Set hissed as he drew his card.
