I don't own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh
Chapter Thirty Seven: The Match of the Millennium: Into the Shadow Realm
"I will defeat you my dear, in one realm or the other, victory shall be mine," Pegasus said to Daisuke as the bubble started to envelop the entire field.
"What is going on?" Joey asked in shock.
"Pegasus is taking the duel to the Shadow Realm!" Yugi said in shock.
"This is just like the last time, cutting me off from everything else," Daisuke said as the bubble of darkness came around her and she gasped in shock, the bubble then started to blacken so she could not see outside of the arena.
"This isn't good," Yugi said.
"Hey little help," Everyone turned to see Tristan walk up to them with Bakura over his shoulder and Mokuba under his arm.
"Tristan, where have you been?" Tea asked him.
"Trust me Tea, you guys wouldn't believe me I have had an adventure and a half today," He answered her before he set down Bakura and Mokuba.
"What happened to Bakura?" Yugi asked him.
"That evil spirit that we saw before took over Bakura again, and even though I got rid of… huh what's going on down there?" He asked the group looking down at the bubble that surrounded the arena.
"You first man," Joey said.
"I tried to free Mokuba but then Bakura tried to grab him," Tristan explained.
"Details man, why would Bakura want Mokuba?" Joey asked.
"He wanted Mokuba for his new host body," Tristan said and Yugi, Joey and Tea gasped in shock. "Don't worry I handled it, but that is history what is up with the indoor thunderstorm?" Tristan asked them looking at the bubble that was arching black lightning.
"Pegasus has taken the duel to the shadow realm," Yugi said.
"That doesn't sound good, these two should be fine for now, let's go check it out," Tristan said.
"Pronto," Joey replied and the four of them all ran down towards the arena on Daisuke's side of the field. "Daisuke managed to turn this duel around and destroyed all of Pegasus's toon monsters, but then he started ranting about a shadow game I think they are still inside," Joey said.
"Oh no, Dai be careful," Yugi thought to himself.
"Man this place gives me the creeps, whenever I come here it means one thing only," Daisuke thought to herself.
"A shadow game," Both she and Hitomi said.
"You will find your experience in the shadow realm this time around will be a lot harder, then your last the strain of maintain your mind shuffle will make it more difficult to conjure up your monsters mentally," Pegasus said as Daisuke groaned.
"I feel so tired, is he right?" Daisuke thought to herself.
"Dai, I will take over now," Hitomi thought to her.
"No, not yet I have to do this myself," She said.
"But Daisuke!" Hitomi shouted back.
"Trust me, I can handle a little darkness," Daisuke said as she drew her next card and grinned, "Perfect," She said and she looked at Pegasus. "Okay my move, and I play the trap card Dust Tornado, this card allows me to destroy one trap or spell card that is on the field, and I choose your gorgons eye card!" Daisuke said as a massive tornado appeared on the field and the Gorgons Eye was sucked into it and destroyed and Daisuke smiled at Pegasus who frowned slightly at her. "And with that card gone I am free to place monsters in defence mode once again Pegasus," She said to him who chuckled at her.
"My my, a brilliant move, and here I thought you would become weaker in this realm each passing second," He said to her as he drew his next card, "For my next brilliant move, I play Dark Eyes Illusionist in attack mode," Pegasus said as a purple cloud surrounded him and shot upwards onto the field, "And did I tell you, I created this monster just for this game," He said as a one eyed monster with a green cape appeared on the field, "And don't forget my dear, this card is as real as you are," Pegasus told Daisuke who frowned.
"I can see that Pegasus," She said.
"Oh I know he looks formidable, but what threat is he to you, he has zero attack and zero defence points, of course seeing as you have never seen this monster until today, you don't know what its secrets are. And I have been known to keep secrets up my sleeves from time to time," Pegasus said to Daisuke.
"I don't know what secrets that thing holds, but I can assume it is more dangerous than you would like me to believe," Daisuke said.
"My dear, you are so suspicious of me," Pegasus said with a chuckle.
"My go, and I summon V-Drago in attack mode," Daisuke said as a golden cloud surrounded her and shot up and V-Drago appeared on the field and Daisuke groaned as she felt weaker after summoning her monster to the field.
"Okay Daisuke I am taking over," Hitomi said and Daisuke panted slightly.
"No I am fine," Daisuke said.
"Daisuke, this too much for you, let me take over," Hitomi begged her.
"Not just yet, let me last the turn," Daisuke told her and Hitomi groaned.
"She is too young and inexperienced to cope with the strain of the shadow realm, but she is surprisingly holding out longer than I thought," Pegasus thought to himself. Meanwhile outside the bubble Yugi gasped in shock.
"What's wrong?" Tea asked him.
"I felt a sharp jolt, right in the chest," Yugi answered her.
"Same here," Joey said.
"This doesn't look good, I mean I think we have formed a bond with Daisuke in some way and we are feeling what she is feeling," Tristan said.
"If we feel what she feels, then it has to really bad," Tea said.
"Dai! Hold on," Yugi thought to himself.
"You're looking pale Daisuke, maybe you should rest up, I can send you back if you surrender that is," Pegasus said to Daisuke who was struggling to stand.
"Daisuke please, let me take over," Hitomi said.
"Fine do it quickly!" Daisuke thought back to Hitomi as her bracelet glowed brightly and Hitomi now stood in Daisuke's place.
"I attack with V-Drago to destroy your monster Pegasus," She said as V-Drago dived towards Pegasus's monster who smirked.
"Impulsive, no doubt due to her worry for Daisuke," He thought to himself. "Your attack activates my Dark Eye Illusionist's special ability," Pegasus said as his monsters head rotated 360 before its eye glowed purple and shot out a bright light at V-Drago and it stopped its attack. "Mesmerising Magic," Pegasus said as an eye similar to his monster's appeared on V-Drago's head
"He stopped him," Hitomi said.
"To make up for a lack of attack power from my monster, I endowed him with a special ability, my illusionist uses its mesmeric eye to paralyse all attacking monsters, what can my next brilliant move be?" Pegasus said.
"Just do it," Hitomi said.
"As you wish, I play the Black Illusion Ritual card to sacrifice my incredible Dark Eyes," Pegasus said as two torches and a vase appeared on the field and a plume of purple smoke appeared from out of the vase. "I hereby sacrifice Dark Eye's Illusionist to summon another spell caster monster, yes there is more behold the incredible, extraordinary, unforgettable creature known only as Relinquished," Pegasus said as a very strange monster appeared on the field.
"What can this be, I have never seen it before," Hitomi said.
"Relinquished activate your special ability," Pegasus said and his monster which had a hole in its midsection opened it up and a black hole formed and V-Drago roared as it was sucked into Relinquished.
"No my V-Drago!" Hitomi gasped in shock.
"Gone but not forgotten," Pegasus said.
"Dark Magician Girl attack Relinquished with Dark Magic attack!" Hitomi said to her monster who nodded her head and fired a purpled beam of energy towards Relinquished.
"Activate your shield," Pegasus told his monster who folded its wings over its chest and to Hitomi's shock V-Drago's face emerged from the wings and her Magician Girl's attack hit him instead. "Your Dark Magician Girl's attack eliminates your V-Drago from play and seeing how it was your monster you lose 500 lifepoints," Pegasus said and Hitomi growled at him as her lifepoints dropped to 150, "By absorbing it's opponents monster, not only does Relinquished gain the attack and defence points but he can also use them to defend itself from harm, this means when you attack you are attacking your own monsters you are now your own worst enemy, and with only 150 lifepoints remaining you are in so much trouble," Pegasus said and Hitomi growled at him, "How frustrating it must be, to have so many monster in your deck but you don't dare to play any of them for they will be turned against you," Pegasus said to Hitomi who frowned at him. "Now then Relinquished activate your other special ability Hypnotic attraction," He said as his monster lifted its single eye and it fired a purple beam of light at Dark Magician Girl who groaned in pain as it was lifted upwards and sucked into Relinquished.
"No! My Dark Magician Girl!" Hitomi cried in shock as Relinquished crossed its wings over itself again and Dark Magician Girl appeared in the wing and Hitomi saw she was crying. "You monster," Hitomi growled at Pegasus. "What do I do, any monster I play will be turned against me, and if I think of another strategy he is going to know it instantly," Hitomi thought to herself.
"Hey don't give up, we need to mind shuffle again," Daisuke told her.
"Are you sure, we don't know how long you can last," Hitomi thought back to her.
"Listen to me, I have rested up enough, I can handle it I just need to last long enough to play one turn," Daisuke said.
"But if you reach your limit, your soul will be shredded cast across the shadow realm for eternity," Hitomi said.
"It is a risk I know, but I can do this, trust me for my sisters sake," Daisuke said and Hitomi nodded as she and Daisuke changed places and Daisuke gasped in shock. "So much pressure," she said as she went to draw her next card. "Come one deck, please don't fail us now, please let this card beat Pegasus," She thought to herself as she drew the card and she placed it down on the field. "I play one card face down Pegasus, and then I play V-Girl in defence mode," Daisuke said as V-Girl appeared on the field in defence mode. "It is up to you now Hitomi," Daisuke thought to herself.
"I could read her mind, but they will switch before I could so instead I will overtax her spirit to its brink," Pegasus thought to himself. "Relinquished use the Dark Magician Girl's power to destroy V-Girl!" Pegasus said as his monsters eye glowed violet and fired a beam towards V-Girl and destroyed her and Daisuke gasped as she started to sway back and forth struggling to keep her balance. Meanwhile outside with Yugi and the others Yugi gasped in shock as he felt something.
"No! Daisuke is in trouble!" He shouted and the other three gasped in shock as they saw Yugi run towards the bubble just as his millennium puzzle started to glow brightly.
"We have to save her!" He thought to himself.
"Agreed Yugi," the spirit of his puzzle replied back as they ran into the bubble but not before being engulfed in a bright light.
"Yugi!" Tea, Joey ad Tristan shouted. Back with Daisuke she was struggling to stay awake but she was losing and she fell backwards.
"Daisuke!" Hitomi shouted but before Daisuke hit the floor two sets of hands caught her and Pegasus's eyes went wide.
"What is this!?" He asked in shock as he saw Yugi and his spirit of the puzzle catch Daisuke.
"We got you Dai," Yugi said as they helped her to stand.
"Yugi, I tired," Was all she said before Hitomi appeared in front of her and Daisuke went transparent like Yugi and the spirit of the puzzle were.
"You monster. You used your underhanded tactics to overwhelm Daisuke's mind, you will pay for that that I promise you, I will win this duel and show you no mercy," Hitomi said to him.
"Then let us continue, without Daisuke nothing will stop me from reading you mind," Pegasus said as Daisuke drew her next card. "You have drawn Neo the Magic Swordsman, a weak monster," Pegasus said.
"He read my mind, which means he can read all the cards in my hand, the only one he cannot read is the one Daisuke placed down on the field, but is it a card that can win this duel for me or not," She thought to herself. "I play Neo the Magic Swordsman in defence mode," Hitomi said.
"I knew you would do that my dear, relinquished destroy Neo the Magic Swordsman!" Pegasus said and his monster did so and destroyed Hitomi's swordsman. "Now then behold the card of your final defeat, your time has run out," Pegasus said as a sphere shaped monster appeared on the field and a ticking noise could be heard.
"Jigen Bakudan, the infamous time bomb," Yami Yugi said and Hitomi looked at him then back at the monster.
"Yes, Jigen Bakudan is a self-destructing monster that is immune to attacks, in two turns it will explode and destroy my Relinquished," Pegasus said.
"You're using Bakudan to destroy your own monster?" Hitomi asked him.
"Yes, but however when Relinquished is destroyed I won't lose any lifepoints seeing as Relinquished's attack is zero while your Dark Magician Girl's is 2000, meaning you take the damage and you will lose," Pegasus said as Hitomi saw the Dark Magician Girl try to break free from Relinquished. "And as long as I can read your mind nothing you do can stop me," Pegasus said to Hitomi.
"He is right, I hate to admit but he is right, Daisuke's sacrifice was in vain, I can win her sister, Yugi's grandfather and the Kaiba brothers are doomed," Hitomi thought to herself.
