Mai Kujaku vs Yami Marik

"We will start Round 5 of the Quarter Finals!" Roland said. "Bingo Machine, go! The first person of the fifth round is Duelist Number 6, Mai Kujaku!" "Do your best, Mai!" Joey Wheeler said to Mai Kujaku. "We will spin the Bingo Machine to determine the duelist who will duel against Mai Kujaku!" Mokuba Kaiba said. "Bingo Machine, go!" Roland said. "Mai!" Joey Wheeler told Mai Kujaku. "Your opponent has not been decided yet!" "No matter who my opponent is, I will win!" Mai Kujaku said. "Yugi! Joey Wheeler! The next time we meet, it will be in the Semi Finals!" "Mai," Yami Yugi said. "We will cheer for you," Joey Wheeler said. "I don't need guys to cheer for me!" Mai Kujaku said. "I will win this duel!" "The duelist who will duel against Mai is Duelist Number 9, Yami Marik!"

At the Dueling platform, Seto Kaiba noticed the door opening. It is Yami Marik. "Marik," Mai Kujaku said. "The man they say who owns the Ra card." "The darkness is hungry." Yami Marik said." "Interesting!" Mai Kujaku said. "So I get to add a god card to my deck! I will beat this man, and the Ra card will be mine!" "Woman," Yami Marik said. "I will sacrifice you to the darkness." "Mai Kujaku vs Marik Ishtar!" Roland said. "The fifth match shall now begin!" "Here goes!" Mai Kujaku said. "Duel!" Mai Kujaku and Yami Marik said.

Mai Kujaku and Yami Marik LP: 8000

"I will start first!" Mai Kujaku said. "I summon Dunamis Valkyrie in attack mode! I end my turn." "A nice rare card? Now then, I will start things off with a sharp sword," Yami Marik said, while putting his Millennium Rod to his back. "My turn. I summon Revival Slime in defense mode. Then, I activate the Continuous Magic, Slime Breeding Machine! On each of my turns, a Slime Token will be summoned. Now, woman. If you did not attack me quickly, my field will be crowded with monsters!" "The duel has started?" Joey Wheeler said. "Revival Slime?" Haxx said. "It is the first time I see Slime Breeding Machine, yep, yep, yep," Ducky said. "Me wonder Mai Kujaku will do," Petrie said. "You guys," Mai Kujaku thought. "Mai, beat Marik!" Hyp told Mai. "Why are you guys here?!" Mai Kujaku said. "I thought I said I can fight by myself?!" "We know about that!" Joey Wheeler said. "You will win regardless of what we do! But we were your friends, so we cheer for you?" "Suit yourself," Mai Kujaku said. "Yugi!" Anzu Mazaki told Yami Yugi. "Look on the ring!" "That is," Yami Yugi said. "Revival Slime and Slime Breeding Machine!" "It is my turn!" Mai Kujaku said. "Watch out, Mai!" Yami Yugi told Mai. "That monster is," "Yugi!" Mai told Yami Yugi. "You know it is against the rules to give me advice! Do not look down on me! I do not need help from anyone, and I will win this duel!" "Mai," Joey Wheeler said.

"Dunamis Valkyrie! Attack Revival Slime! Angel Dust! Revival Slime is beaten!" Suddenly Revival Slime regenerates itself. "What?" Mai Kujaku said. "Don't be shocked!" Yami Marik said. "All you did was to activate Revival Slime's regeneration ability!" "Regeneration ability?" Mai Kujaku said. "Let's enjoy this," Yami Marik said. "and we have plenty of time. My turn! I activate the Magic Card, Pot of Greed! I draw 2 cards from my deck. Slime Breeding Machine special summons a Slime Token! And then, I set a card." "Seto," Mokuba Kaiba said. "That card is," "It is the Trap Card which redirects the opponent's attacks to Revival Slime, Defend Slime!" Seto Kaiba said. "He is right," Yami Yugi thought. "He will just use Revival Slime's regeneration ability to revive itself!" "He needs 3 tributes to summon Ra!" Mai Kujaku said. "I will not let you! My turn! I activate the Magic Card, Harpie's Feather Duster! Continuous Magics and Traps won't work against me!" "You did it, Mai!" Yami Yugi said. "You got rid of that combo that caused me a lot of trouble!" "Dunamis, attack the Slime Token! Angel Dust!"

Yami Marik LP: 6700

"Mai got an early lead!" Joey Wheeler said. "Rejoice!" Yami Marik said. "Rejoice to the Heavens as you hold on to the last ray of light and hope! That way when everything you hold crumbles in despair before you, the resulting shock will be extreme!" "I set a card and end my turn." Mai Kujaku said. "My turn." Yami Marik said. "I summon Melchid the Four-Faced Beast. I truibute Revival Slime and Melchid the Four-Faced Beast to summon Masked Beast Death Guardius!" "Is that," Seto Kaiba said. "the duel against the Masked guys?" Yami Yugi said. "Go, Death Guardius!" Yami Marik said. "Attack Dunamis Valkyrie!" "I will not let you!" Mai Kujaku said. "I activate the Continous Trap, Silver-Screen Mirror Wall! This causes your Death Guardius's attack points to be cut by half. Go, Dunamis! Make a comeback! Angel Dust!"

Yami Marik LP: 6550

"She did it!" Joey Wheeler said. "This is all going in Mai's favor!" "No!" Yami Yugi said. Suddenly, a mask appears and Dunamis Valkyrie is switched to Yami Marik's field. "Dunamis!" Mai Kujaku said. "The moment Death Guardius is sent to the graveyard, Mask of Remnant activates! I shuffle my deck and I control Dunamis Valkyrie. I activate the Magic Card, Remove Trap!" "Now she has no monsters on the field!" Honda said. "If Marik attacks Mai directly, she will take big damage!" "No, this will be fine." Joey Wheeler said. "If this continue the way they were, Mai will win this duel!" "He is right," Mai Kujaku thought. "If he summons Ra, I have no chance of winning. I have to finish this before that happens. I will show you the power of my Amazoness Deck!" "Ho ho, this will be fun," Yami Marik said. "What is with him?" Joey Wheeler said. "He is acting weird. This is one creepy guy! Mai! Do not let your guard down!" "I know!" Mai Kujaku said. "I see, your friends, is it? Then you fools can watch," Yami Marik said, while holding to his Millennium Rod. "as I beat this woman! It is about time we end this. Woman, I plan to sacrifice you! The warm up is enough!" "Warm up?" Mai Kujaku said. "Could it be?" Yami Yugi said. "Now, let the Game of Darkness begin!" Yami Marik said, and activates the Millennium Rod. "The scenery is changing!" Stegz said. "Me have a bad feeling about this." Petrie said. "What is this?" Mai Kujaku said. "These dark clouds are surrounding us!" "I will make you experience the world's shocking game!" "This fog-like presence," Ryuji Otogi said. "They don't look like normal clouds!" "I have seen this dark cloud before." Anzu Mazaki said. "This is the same thing that happened on Yugi and Pegasus's duel." Honda said. "A game of darkness!" Yami Yugi said. "Mai! This duel is dangerous! If you lose, you lose your soul! Stop this duel!" "Yugi!" Haxx told Yami Yugi. "Mai is focusing on the duel." "My turn!" Mai Kujaku said. "I set a card and summon The Unfriendly Amazon!" A glow appears on The Unfriendly Amazon. "What is that glow?" Mai Kujaku said. "Mai Kujaku," Yami Marik said. "You can see this because you are participating the game of darkness. The light illuminating your monster is the light of your existence." "The light of my existence?" Mai Kujaku thought. "Rather than me explaining it, you will understand it quicker if you see it for yourself," Yami Marik said. "This is the game of dismay and fear. And you will experience emotions beyond anything you have experienced in this duel!" "The Unfriendly Amazon! Attack Dunamis Valkyrie!"

Yami Marik LP: 6350

"Well done!" Yami Marik said. "You successfully reduced my Life Points, but Dunamis Valkyrie was originally your monster! Therefore, the Effect of Darkness shall activate and affect you!" "Effect of Darkness?" Mai Kujaku said. "That is right," Yami Marik said. "every single monster holds a piece of human memory of both you and me! And, once that monster is gone, the piece of our memory shall disappear!" "That is impossible!" Mai Kujaku said. "Yugi, what did Marik say?" Joey Wheeler told Yami Yugi. "Has Marik used his Power of Darkness on Mai?" Yami Yugi said. "I wonder who will disappear from your memory first?" Yami Marik said. The card shown is Anzu Mazaki. "Anzu?" Mai Kujaku said. "She shall be the first to disappear from your memory." Yami Marik said. "Anzu," Mai Kujaku said. "Anzu will disappear from my memories? That is impossible!" "Then try to think of her!" Yami Marik said. "That woman's face!" A ghostly image of Anzu appears on Mai's mind. "I cannot remember anything!" Mai Kujaku said.

"Mai! Hang in there!" Anzu Mazaki said. Mai Kujaku looks at Anzu. "Mai! Hang in there!" Anzu Mazaki said in ghostly form. "My turn!" Yami Marik said. "I set a card and I summon Executioner - Makyura in attack mode! And I play a Magic Card with Executioner Makyura! The Equip Magic, Black Pendant! This card increases my monster's attack points by 500. Executioner Makyura attacks!" "I activate the Trap Card, Amazoness Archers! This card stops your monster from moving and drops your monsters attack points by 500. Go The Unfriendly Amazon!"

Yami Marik LP: 5950

A piece of String's memory disappears from Yami Marik. "Black Pendant's effect is that the monster attached to it is sent to the graveyard, the opponent receives 500 points of damage."

Mai Kujaku LP: 7500

"I am about to end my turn, but Executioner Makyura has a Special Ability. When it is in the graveyard, I can activate a Trap Card from my hand. I activate the Trap Card, Rope of Life! This card selects the monster that is in the graveyard, gains 800 points and can attack again!" "What did you say?" Mai Kujaku said. "Go Executinoer Makyura! Swords of Judgement!"

Mai Kujaku LP: 7100

An image of Joey Wheeler appears in front of Mai Kujaku and then disappears. "Mai! Are you okay?" Joey Wheeler said. "Mai! Can you hear me?" When Mai Kujaku looks at Joey Wheeler, a ghostly form appears instead. "Once the game of darkness begins, you cannot interfere," Yami Yugi said. "But I can! Mai!" "Yugi?" Mai Kujaku said. "Yugi! Why are you here?" Yami Marik said. "Mai! Do not get confused by Marik's illusions!" Yami Yugi said. "Illusions?" Mai Kujaku said. "So I am imaging this loneliness?" "That is right," Yami Yugi said. "In the game of darkness, willpower is the key to success! These illusions are created by the fear and terror in your heart!" "Yugi!" Mai Kujaku said. "I feel like I have lost something. Something that is important to me." "Mai!" a voice of Joey Wheeler said. "Mai! Do not be afraid!" "That voice," Mai Kujaku said. "I am not sure who it belongs to, but it warms my heart." "Mai, you have to win!" Yami Yugi said. "If you win the game of darkness, Marik's illusions will disappear! Do not let the light in your heart go out! Take back the memories you have lost! Mai, the rest is up to you." "Yugi," Mai Kujaku said. "That Yugi," Yami Marik said. "using his Millennium Puzzle to interfere the game of darkness. Has the woman regained her memories?" "Thank you Yugi," Mai Kujaku said. "and do not worry, my fighting spirit does not break that easily! I will be taking back what you stole in this duel! My turn! I will not let you touch my memories again! I summon Amazoness Chain Master in attack mode! I set a card and end my turn. Marik's Executioner Makyura has enough attack points to beat my Amazoness Chain Master. He should attack right now, unless he is afraid of the card I set." "My turn." Yami Marik said." "But the trap card I have set is not my reverse card," Mai Kujaku said. "It is the Amazoness Chain Master's Special Ability! When Amazoness Chain Master is in the graveyard while in attack mode, she will activate 'Brink of Deadly Dance'. And by paying 1000 of my Life Points, I can steal one card from my opponent's deck!" "I will teach you over and over, that loneliness is not an illusion!" Yami Marik said. "I summon Holding Arms! I use Holding Arms to attack Amazoness Chain Master!" "500 attack points?" Mai Kujaku said. "And he is using it to attack my monster?" Holding Arms chain Amazoness Chain Master. "I activate the Magic Card, Burial Arm!" Mai Kujaku said. "I activate Amazoness Chain Master's effect! By paying 1000 of my Life Points to take one monster from your deck! And the card I will take from your deck, is the God Card, The Winged Dragon of Ra!"

Mai Kujaku LP: 6100

"Your The Winged Dragon of Ra is now mine!" Mai Kujaku said. "Did you see that, Hyp?" T-Bone said. "Mai Kujaku took Marik's The Winged Dragon of Ra!" "I can see it," Hyp said. "My turn!" Mai Kujaku said. "To summon a god, three tributes are needed. Marik has 2 monsters on the field, but I have none. I set 2 cards and I summon Amazoness Fighter in attack mode! I end my turn! Now try to attack me! This time I have a trap waiting for you!" "My turn! Draw!" Yami Marik said. "I will attack Amazoness Fighter with Executioner Makyura! Go, Executioner Makyura!" "You fell for it!" Mai Kujaku said. "I activate the Magic Card, Amazoness Curse Master! Our monsters switch attack points! Amazoness Fighter! Counterattack Makyura!"

Yami Marik LP: 5050

"It feels good when an enemy falls into your trap!" Yami Marik said. "Trap?" Mai Kujaku said. "That is right!" Yami Marik said. "The Trap Card, Card of Last Will!" Yami Marik draws 5 cards. "Marik drawing 5 cards?" Mutt said. "What is Marik's plan?" Spittor said. "I activate Makyura's effect! When Makyura is in the graveyard, I can activate a Trap Card from my card. I activate the Continuous Trap, Scratch Wheel! Your Amazoness Fighter is chained! For every turn, Scratch Wheel will cause you to lose 500 Life Points." "I should thank you for trapping me!" Mai Kujaku said. "I use a Trap against a Trap! I activate the Trap Card, Dramatic Rescue! This card allows me to take one trapped monster back from my hand and play another monster in its place! I rescue Amazoness Fighter from the Torture Wheel and return her to my hand! Based on Dramatic Rescue's effect, I play this monster! Harpie Lady Cyber Bondage! And it is my turn. Please let me summon God! I activate the Magic Card, Graceful Charity! I draw 3 cards from my deck and discard 2 from my hand." "What combo Mai will use?" Littlefoot said. "Me need to see what combo Mai uses," Petrie said. "This is my trump card!" Mai Kujaku said. "The Magic Card, Kaleidoscope - Magnificent Dopplegangers! The Three Harpie Lady Sisters!" "Three Harpie Ladies?" Cera said. "I tribute my three Harpies to summon The Winged Dragon of Ra!" A Sphere mode of Ra appears.

"Is that the Winged Dragon of Ra?" Yami Yugi said. "I get that it is round like the sun," Joey Wheeler said. "It is the first time seeing the Sphere mode of The Winged Dragon of Ra," Bad Rap said. "It is impossible for you to control a god," Yami Marik said. "Only the chosen duelists can control a god!" "When the card is taken from a duelist, its powers belong to the duelist who possess it!" Mai Kujaku said. "As of now, the God Card is mine!" "Take a look on the God Card that is on your Duel Disk." Yami Marik said. Mai Kujaku checks her Duel Disk, and to her surprise, it is hieroglyphics. When she took the God Card from Marik, the hieroglyphics are not shown. "Can you understand the script?" Yami Marik said. "It contains the key of awakening Ra's true powers!" "Ra's true powers?" Mai Kujaku said. "That is right," Yami Marik said. "Ra has Special Abilities hidden within it. I tell you one thing. Those letters are Hieratic Text. Ancient letters written by the priests." "What is that?" Joey Wheeler said. "Hieratic Text?" Yami Yugi said. "Ancient letters written by the priests?" Seto Kaiba said. "Me first time heard of Hieratic Text." Petrie said. "It was a language used for law, literature and religion in Ancient Egypt. Unlike the common demotic text, only those with special status were taught it. And of course, the chosen ones can read it with their hearts!" Yami Marik said. "And we Tomb Guardians know it as well! Even the creator of Duel Monsters, Pegasus J Crawford, could not translate Ra's hidden abilities. He was forced to put the Hieratic Text into the card. Right now, Ra is in Sphere Mode. Now try solving the riddle to change it to Battle Mode!" "How would Mai translate the Hieratic Text?" Spittor said. "As far as you have concerned, that god may not exist on your field. Even if my monsters attack you, the god will not protect you." Yami Marik said. "Unless you know the secrets of God, you will suffer the hellish pain again." "I have no choice!" Kujaku said. "I set a card and I end my turn. The card I set is Gravity Bind. When I activate Gravity Bind, all monsters higher than Level 4 will not be able to attack. In the meantime, I will try to find out what are Ra's secrets!" "My turn!" Yami Marik said. "I summon Holding Legs! When this card is on the field, all opponent's set cards are returned to their hands. When Holding Arms and Holding Legs are on the field, Ujat's Tablet is called! Neither Magics nor Traps nor God can protect you. Let the darkness of pain embrace you, Mai Kujaku! Holding Arms! Holding Legs!" Holding Arms and Holding Legs hold Mai Kujaku and she is pushed into Ujat's Tablet. "This should be only Solid Vision!" Mai Kujaku said. "I cannot move!" "I told you that this is the game of darkness. Everything that happens here is real!" Yami Marik said. "Even the pain you feel from the attacks! Attack the player directly!"

Mai Kujaku LP: 4800

"Ra has three Special Abilities!" Yami Marik said. "I will use one of these Special Abilities!" Yami Marik recites a chant. The Sphere Mode of Ra glows and the form changes. "Awaken, The Winged Dragon of Ra!" Yami Marik said. "This is The Winged Dragon of Ra! My turn! With one attack from Ra, I will burn the woman with Ra's sacred flames!" "I have to save Mai!" Joey Wheeler said, and rushes to Mai Kujaku. "Joey Wheeler?" Mai Kujaku said. "I will help you out!" Joey Wheeler said. "But these chains are too tight!" The Winged Dragon of Ra prepares its attack. "Run, Joey Wheeler!" Mai Kujaku told Joey Wheeler. "You think I can?" Joey Wheeler said. "Go, Winged Dragon of Ra! God Blaze Cannon!" Yami Marik said. "You have another fight waiting for you!" Mai Kujaku told Joey Wheeler. "You think I can just stand there?" Joey Wheeler said. Winged Dragon of Ra's God Blaze Cannon hits Yami Yugi. "Yugi!" Joey Wheeler and Mai Kujaku said. "It almost makes me cry," Yami Marik said. "by throwing yourself to Ra's attack to prevent your friends from dying." "Marik! Your anger and hatred!" Yami Yugi said. "I will take it all! But I will take you back to the darkness!" "Talk while you can!" Yami Marik said. "Soon I will crush you into pieces along with the Millennium Puzzle! And scatter them into darkness for all eternity!"

"The winner of the fifth round is, Marik..." Roland said. "Marik Ishtar," Yami Marik said. "The real one. Woman, you lost the duel. The loser of the game of darkness will be punished." "Punished?" Mai Kujaku said. "Your punishment game is, you will enjoy the world to the fullest!" Yami Marik said. "When this Ra card is pulled out, the sand of memory will fall. And when it does, your whole memory will disappear! You will feel the pain of losing one friend after another. Well then, good night. I will be taking my card back." Yami Marik takes the card, and sand drips onto Mai. Sandy image of Joey Wheeler appears and then disappears. "Why you do this to her?!" Haxx said. "I will defeat you in a duel!" "If you do," Yami Marik said. "There is a chance she will recover. The power inside me has released. The more souls I sacrifice to the darkness, the more it will fuel my power!"
