Chapter 3: Illusionist No-Face's Trap

In school…

"How is this, Anzu?" Jonouchi placed his card down. "Attack with Stone Soldier Ogre Rock. Okay, Happy Lover with a defense power of 500." He grinned when Anzu played her card. "Ogre Rock with an attack power of 800 will crush it."

"My turn, right?" Anzu reminded. "Well, I attach the magic card, God's Breath."

"What is that?" Jonouchi blinked.

"Ogre Rock will be worn away by sacred wind," Yuugi supplied. "Then become dust and disappear."

"Jonouchi's Life Points has become zero." Anzu beamed. "I won again."

"Jonouchi really sucks." Honda sighed.

"Anyone noticed something?" Ami voiced.

"Noticed what?" Yuugi looked over at his cousin.

"Jonouchi's deck." Ami elaborated. "Five games and not one magic or trap cards?"

"Ami's right." Yuugi gaped, going through Jonouchi's entire deck. "They're all just some offensive type monsters."

"Yeah, I collect strong monsters to attack with." Jonouchi explained.

"That's no good." Yuugi protested.

"Duel Monsters requires both magic cards and monsters cards in a nice and balanced combination." Ami went into lecture mode. "With only monsters, your deck is gonna get eaten up by your opponents' magic cards."

"Yuugi, why don't you teach me how to play Duel Monsters?" Jonouchi pleaded.

"You sure he's going to survive grandpa's 'Boot Camp'?" Ami gave her cousin a joking look.

"Thanks for the support." Jonouchi muttered.

"Yuugi, I got a parcel for you." Sugoroku handed the box to his grandson.

"Parcel?" Ami echoed. "Who sent it?"

"It doesn't say who sent it." Sugoroku replied.

"What is this thing?" Yuugi took the parcel.

"What is this?" Anzu wondered when Yuugi opened the box.

"The video tape probably has instructions." Honda suggested.

"Just play it." Jonouchi remarked.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Yuugi-boy." Pegasus appeared on screen after Yuugi slid the tape into the recorder. "This is a video letter from me to Yuugi-boy. I know that you had defeated Kaiba-boy. That's why I want to test your skills. But there is a time limit for this duel. That starting Life Points are 2000. When it reaches the time limit of fifteen minutes, the side with the higher Life Point shall be the winner. Do you understand?" without warning, he activated the Millennium Eye. "Nobody can disturb us." He chuckled, freezing everyone else, but Yuugi, in time. "We can start now, Yuugi-boy."

"Is this a Yami no Game?" Yuugi snapped as Yami Yuugi manifested.

"Then we'll accept." Ami declared, reverting back into her Ancient Egyptian grub, the Millennium Scales resting in her palms.

"Duel starts." Pegasus signalled the start as the timer counted down. "I'll start first. Done, it's your' turn, Yuugi." He placed his card face-down.

"Alright, I'll play this card." Yuugi held out his card.

"You are going to play the 'Devil Dragon' card, right?" Pegasus predicted. "I know you would play this card. Trap Card, 'Pot of Sealed Dragons', to seal the 'Devil Dragon' in the pot. Well, let's continue the game. Before, you defeated Kaiba-boy's super rare card. But even a 'Blue Eyes White Dragon' can't overpower this card of mine. This game is evolving."

"Then I will use this card." Yuugi declared.

"Beast-type monster, Silver Fang." Pegasus predicted. "I knew that you would use a Beast-type monster. You also plan to use Magic card, 'Full Moon', to increase the power of 'Silver Fang'. To counter 'Silver Fang', this card is all I need. 'Evil Spirit of the Pot's attack is weak but it is also the only monster that can release your Dragon card sealed away by the 'Pot of Sealed Dragons'.

"You plan to resurrect 'Devil Dragon'?" Anhara gasped.

"Yes." Pegasus grinned. "The sound of 'Evil Spirit of the Pot's pipe will resurrect 'Devil Dragon'. Yuugi-by, I understand your shock. But this is reality. You cannot defeat me. If you lose, then you must participate in the event organized by me. It will be a competition to determine who will be the real King of Duelist for Duel Monsters. The one who wins the title of King will be given a large amount of prize money and reputation."

"I am not interested in this kind of event." Yuugi snorted. "What if I decline?"

"You don't have the right to decline." Pegasus chided. "Because you cannot even defeat me, I won't forgive you if you run away."

"I haven't lost yet." Yuugi reminded.

"Let's keep playing the game then." Pegasus relented. "My turn is over." He placed a card face-down. "I play this trap, 'Sun Shower'." He activated his card, once Yuugi placed his monster card face down without even looking. "All undead type monsters are destroyed under the sunshine."

"I was right." Yuugi smirked. "This seems to be the end of your magic power. "Although you can read the cards in my hand, you cannot read what card I drew from the deck. My card is…" he flipped 'Black Magician' face-up. "'Black Magician'! First, I'll use 'Black Magician' to attack 'Devil Dragon'."

"Why don't you attack 'Evil Spirit of the Pot'?" Pegasus inquired.

"Yuugi has a duty to his cards." Anhara replied. "It would be sad to have the game end when it is still under the opponent's control. You never change, do you?"

"That consideration will be fatal." Pegasus warned.

"Black Magic!" Yuugi barked.

"You found the weakness of my magic." Pegasus laughed, despite losing 'Devil Dragon'. "It was a good match. But it seems you underestimated my ability. It's my turn. The 'Illusionist No-Face' card. I'll add the magic card 'Bewitching Monocle' and for a combo attack on 'Black Magician'."

"I'll take it." Yuugi accepted. "'Black Magician', Black Magic!"

"Yuugi, wait!" Anhara warned.

"Illusion Arts of Bewitching Monocle." Pegasus countered.

"A tie?" Yuugi frowned.

""If it's a tie, then both should have disappeared." Anhara reasoned. "Could this be 'Bewitching Monocle's effect? Five more minutes, Yuugi." She cautioned.

"I'll use 'Elf Swordsman' to attack 'No-Face'." Yuugi placed his card down.

"'Bewitching Monocle not only can raise the attack power of 'No-Face'," Pegasus tsked.

"Why would 'Elf Swordsman'…?" Yuugi pressed, his monster was sent to the graveyard via an black energy blast.

"It couldn't be…" Anhara breathed as 'Black Magician' appeared on Pegasus' field. "'Bewitching Monocle' had 'Black Magician' under its control for this turn. Just as I thought, the Millennium Eye's power…"

"After I finish my turn, time will be up." Pegasus announced. "Nice fight, Yuugi-boy."

"The game is not over yet." Yuugi corrected. "My last card is 'Summoned Demon'!"

"Game over." Pegasus grinned, the timer hitting zero right before 'Summoned Demon' attacked. "If that game was counted, I would have lost. Yuugi-boy, your ability was far better than my estimation. I have a feeling we will fight at Duelist Kingdom."

"What if I don't want to?" Yuugi glared.

"You cannot run away." Pegasus tsked. "My power is from the Millennium Eye's dark power. Let's meet again in the Kingdom. If you want to take back your precious treasure." That said, he used the Eye's power to claim Sugoroku's soul.
