"Well, this sure is a fun battle!" The boy called to Melissa. She pretended not to hear, and said "Hey, it's your turn now." He nodded, drew his card, and then smiled. "I play Ancient Rules! This card allows me to special summon my powerful Buster Blader!" Melissa gawked at its strength of 2600. "Buster Blader, annihilate her Dark Magician!" He swung his mighty sword, destroying Dark Magician Girl in one hit. "How am I going to beat that?!" cried Melissa in despair. "I will finally play Kuriboh in attack position, and attack your Life Points directly!" Taking 300 more damage, Melissa said "Finally, my turn."
She drew her card, and gasped. The card she drew was none other than her Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning. She read its text, and almost gasped again. Even though she had to banish a light and a dark monster, this one card is so powerful it had to be worth it. Unfortunately, she had no idea what banishing was, and even if she did, she needed a light type monster in her graveyard. "I end my turn." She felt like crying, because she was about to be attacked directly.
"Aw, too bad." He drew his card, and then said "I will just go ahead and attack your Life Points directly!" She lost another 2900 Life Points, bringing her total down to 2800. "I take my turn."
Please, oh please deck, let this be a monster. She drew, and it was Copycat. "YES! I play Copycat, copying Buster Blader!" Copycat came out onto the field, and she cried "Copycat, destroy Kuriboh!" The boy screamed, and watched his Life Points drop by 2300. "No! Grr… My turn."
He drew, and then played Mystical Elf in attack position. Then, he played Gandora the Dragon of Destruction. "I play this using one of my face-down spell cards, Ancient Rules! Now, I activate its effect, destroying every card on the field but it, and gaining 300 attack for every card destroyed! It now has 1500 attack! Gandora, attack her Life Points directly! I then play Swords of Revealing Light, to stop you in your tracks! Of course, now that I end my turn, Gandora goes to the Graveyard, but I am still winning by a long shot.
Melissa drew, and called "I place set one card, and end my turn."
The boy laughed and said "I draw, set one card, and end my turn."
Melissa looked quizzically at him while drawing her card. The card she set last turn was a Mirror Force trap card, which will destroy every one of his attack position monsters once he attacks. She looked at her card. It was the field card Mausoleum of the Emperor. She started laughing, and said "I am going to banish… Um, how do you banish cards?" He laughed, and said "You remove them from the game." She nodded, and said "Then I banish my Exodia the Forbidden One, as well as my Copycat, to Special Summon Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning! Tremble at his overwhelming might!"
