Chapter 36: Reversal of Fate

Time: Unknown

Date: Thursday, September 6th, 1998

Location: The Shadow Realm

YOUR POV...

Crommel drew his card. "My move, then. I activate the spell Reversal of Fate! Though you've seen it before, I'll tell you what it does anyway. My slave Dustin has won many a duel with this card. This is how it works; When it's activated, I place 6 Fate Counters on it. Every turn, I can place a Fate Counter on a Spellcaster of my choosing. You see, when all Faith Counters are removed we both take 3000 damage to our Life Points!" he said. You groaned. You knew all too well what he was doing next.

"Now I activate Counter Cleaner! This card lets me pay 500 Life Points (Your LP: 4000, Crommel's LP: 3500) to remove all counters on the field, so we both lose 3000 Life Points!" he said. The card then exploded, almost knocking you to the ground. You weren't terribly scared though, because you Life Points were still higher than his. (Your LP: 1000, Crommel's LP: 500) After all, he was done, right? There was nothing more he could do, yes?

"I'm not done yet! Because of Reversal of Fate's other effect I get to draw three cards. Finally, I activate the spell Stray Lambs! This lets me summon 2 Lamb Tokens (0, 0) to my side of the field. After that, I end my turn." said Crommel finally stopping. You sighed with relief. You had expected worse.

"About time." you said. Even though your Life Points were so low, you weren't worried. He had made one vital mistake by letting his Life Points go down so low. Perhaps you could put that to your advantage. You only hoped that you could save Yugi and Yami quickly.

"I summon Storm Hero – Wind Guy (600, 900) and I attack your Lamb Token!" you said as your monster pulverized the poor little fuzz ball. "Next, I activate the spell Struck by Lightning! This lets me switch a Storm Hero to defense mode and draw a card (Negate Attack). Next, my Storm Hero's effect activates! If he stays on the field for one of my turns, I get to remove from play a card on the field. I choose your other Lamb token! After that, I set a face down card. That ends my turn." you said.

"Good, my move," Crommel said, smiling. You hadn't noticed this at first, but he hadn't been taking care of himself. He had dead skin all over his face, and his teeth looked like he had been eating a very bloody steak. They were a brownish red, like his clothing. "I activate Red Medicine. This increases my Life Points by 500. (Your LP: 1000, Crommel's LP: 1000) Now I activate Brain Control! This lets me take control of one of your monsters in exchange for 800 Life Points! (Your LP: 1000, Crommel's LP: 200) Now I sacrifice your Storm Hero in order to summon… Raiza the Storm Monarch (2400, 1000)! His effect lets me put a card on top of your deck, and I choose your face down card. Raiza, attack!" he said.

"I activate Negate Attack! I don't think I need to explain it's effect." you said sighing with relief, but then remembering that you were in huge trouble.

"Shit. I end my turn." said Crommel slightly deflated. It was now your turn, and you already knew that you were going to draw Magic Cylinder. It didn't really matter, because you didn't have anything. You had nothing weak enough to summon.

"I-I play a facedown (Magic Cylinder) and end my turn." you said sadly. If he destroyed that card, you were finished.

"Good, then this will end quickly," said Crommel. He smirked. "Although...it's a shame that this duel had to come to an end so soon. I expected a challenge, but you disappointed me. I sacrifice Raiza to summon my ace in the hole! I summon The Fatemaster (?, ?)!!!" he said.

"The what?!" you screamed expecting the worst.

"Hehe… This card has a very special ability. First of all, it destroys all cards on the field when it summoned." he said as your facedown vanished.

"NO!!!" you screamed.

"Next, it gets 500 ATK and DEF for every card in both our graveyards. At the moment, I count eleven (ATK: 5500, DEF: 5500)." said Crommel smiling. He was about to win.

"NO; YUGI!!!!!" you screamed. You had come all the way here, just to be brought down. Down to the depths of hell.

"ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Crommel. As your Life Points went down to 0, you thought Crommel's face softened for a moment, but you couldn't tell because you had collapsed. Before your soul was ripped from your body, you said one final word.

"Yugi… "You said, and then you were dead.

To Be Continued…

Questions you don't give two shits about, answered anyway

WHAT?! ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME?! SHE LOST?!?!?!

Stop yelling! It's irritating.

IRRITATING!? THAT ENDING WAS HORRIBLE!

That's how the story goes. Now sit back down and get your dentures back in.

Oh, sorry. Well, that was unexpected.

Hm.

That's all you have to say?

Well no, I think ought to say that if anyone actually checks my deviantART account (of the same name), I wrote my own story. It wasn't fanfiction, it was original, so I can't submit it here. But it would be awesome if someone checked it out.
