The duel would begin, with 4000 lifepoints each player on the field. Each player drew from their decks 5 cards. "If you don't mind, Mr 'Oh I will beat you with a so-called Egyptian God', I will begin. My turn!" Maria Kaiba drew a card, having 6 cards on her hand. Her eyes showed a big surprise when she noticed she had a Kuriboh on her hand. "You..."

The memories flooded her mind as she looked to that card. Today, Maria had 18 years. 3 years ago, when she grew 15, she forgot her birthday totally due to a hard work session at Kaiba Corp. Mokuba also had a problem: what can you give to someone that can buy it all? The answer came to him almost inmediately.

"Maria!" She ran up to her as she looked to him. "What is it, Mokuba? Any problems?" Normally, she was pretty distant, almost hateful to people. Mokuba was the exception. This is because he was the only one she had as family, and the only one she cared about. "I bought you something!" He said as he gave her the Kuriboh card. "Happy birthday!" The smile on the kid had no price. Maria took the card and looked at it. 'A weak card, but my little brother meant this gift. If anyone was where he is, anyone would buy the strongest cards. However, with or without my position, not anyone buys a card like this.' She thought to herself and hugged him softly, like the caring sister she is. "Thank you, Mokuba. I will take care of this card"

The Kaiba girl returned to the present. "First, I summon in defense mode to my Lord of Dragons!" She summoned one of her monsters. "Then the flute of summoning dragons! When I have the Lord of Dragons on the field, I can use this card to summon up to 2 dragons from my hand, ignoring their summoning conditions! I will only summon one. Come, my most loyal beast, Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

The Lord of Dragons played the Flute, and the Blue Eyes White Dragon appeared. "I set a card face down. That is the end of my turn!" with that turn, Maria had 3 cards on her hand remaining.

"How interesting, to think that those 3 Blue Eyes White Dragons, in your eyes, can defeat a God! How ridiculous of you to think that, Ms. Kaiba!" The enemy mocked. "Enough of your God chit-chat. Who are you and what the hell do you want?" She asked with a serious look on her face. "My name is Marik, I came to get your company to track down and destroy the Pharaoh that cursed me to live a hell of life!" The enemy yelled to her in anger.

"I am sorry, but if you wish to find a Pharaoh, you must be in a museum. Kaiba Corp only strives ahead, not to some mummies!" She sounded pretty despective. The enemy smirked. "My turn!" Marik drew a card. "First, magic card Infinite cards! We can have endless number of cards in our hand! Now, I summon in defense mode to revival Jam!" A jelly like monster on the field appeared. Maria was rather sceptical but she would not let her guard down. "Now, another Magic card! Card of safe return! When a monster of any side of the field survives, I can draw 3 cards. I set a card face down. That is all" Marik smirked. He had 2 cards on his hand.

"How weak of you to summon that. Is that your God? Tch. My turn!" The Kaiba girl drew a card, now having 4. "Magic card, Pot of Greed, I can draw 2 more cards!" She drew 2 more, and discarded ot of greed, having a total of 5 on her hand.

She smirked. "This is the end for you! Magic card, Polymerization! I will fuse my Blue Eyes White Dragon on the field with the 2 Blue Eyes White Dragon that I have on my hand!"

"Dragons of White scales, flying in the night sky, ready to show your massive power, come together as the moon shines upon you!" When the monsters were fusioning, Maria held her hands together and pointed them to her front, to the enemy. "Fusion summon! Descend, Ultimate Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

Maria laughed maniacally. "Say goodbye to your pathetic monster! Now! Ultimate Burst Stream of Destruction!" She ordered as the 3 heads attacked and destroyed the Revival Jam. But it regenerated. "What the?!" Her eyes widened. Marik laughed as the effect of his card of safe return activated. Marik drew 3 cards, having 5 on his hand. Maria looked seriously. "I end my turn here!" She had 2 on her hand.

"Wise of you, Ms. Kaiba! My turn!" Marik drew another card, now having 6. "First, I summon my Humanoid slime, then, I will use my magic card double summon! I can normal summon a second monster! I will summon another humanoid slime! Now, magic card Jam breeding machine! During each of my standby phases, it will summon a Slime Token! I have 4 monsters on the field, with this, now magic card pot of greed! I will draw 2 more. I tribute my 2 humanoid slimes with my slime token!"

"God that resides within the Heavens, infinite strenght upon you, destruction is in your soul, come and descend from the sky to judge your opponents! APPEAR, SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON!" The Egyptian God card appeared as Maria stepped back. "What the hell is that?!" She was surprised. "The attack of Slifer is determined by the number of cards on my hand!" Marik said with a smirk. Slifer now had 2000 attack points.

"That is all for my turn" Marik smirked as Maria looked and drew a card. She had 3. "2000 is still a few, again! I will defeat that God with my strenght! Ultimate Burst of Destruction!" The Ultimate Blue eyes white dragon attacked Slifer. "NOT SO FAST! TRAP CARD JAM DEFENDER! Each time one of my monsters is attacked, I can change the target to Revival Jam!" Marik smirked as the Revival Jam was destroyed but revived. And the effect of Safe card of return activated, giving Marik 3 cards more, now 5000 attack points for Slifer the sky Dragon. 'He quickly surpassed the strenght of my Ultimate Blue Eyes White Dragon. If I am not careful, he will totally obliterate me!" She looked seriously. "I set my 2 cards face down. That is all!" She said with an angered tone on her voice. She only had 1 card on her hand, her Kuriboh

"My turn!" Marik drew a card, now having 6. Slifer's points increased to 6000. "How about this Ms. Kaiba?! Slifer, attack!" The big mouth of Slifer the sky Dragon threw a beam towards the enemy Ultimate Blue Eyes White Dragon. "Like if I will let that happen! Quick Spell! Fusion Cancel!" The Ultimate Blue Eyes separated then the 3 Blue Eyes White Dragons appeared. Maria noticed Slifer's second mouth attacking her dragons. "What's that?!" The 3 Blue eyes White Dragons' attack was reduced from 3000 to 1000 attack points. "Slifer's second effect. When the opponent summons a monster, that monster's attack is reduced in 2000 points! That monster is destroyed if the attack points are 0!" Marik laughed a bit as the Kaiba girl looked with some shock on her face. "They survived your attack, right? That means you draw 9 cards!" Maria said. "That is correct! And that means, Slifer's attack and defense increases to 15,000!"

Maria began to think. "Anything else I need to know?" "The Egyptian God cards aren't affected by Monsters' effects, magic or trap cards! They are Gods!" He smirked. "Right, thanks. Is that all?" She seemed to be with an idea. "That is all, but there is nothing you can do!" Marik said. Maria looked to her deck. She closed her eyes and drew a card, now she has 2 on her hand. She opened her eyes to see that card and smiled. "I knew I could count on you. Card face down! Graceful Charity! I must discard 2 cards from my hand but I can draw 3!" She does this. "Now, magic card Monster Reencarnate! I can get a monster from the graveyard to my hand!" She smiled. She had 2 on her hand. "I will tribute summon using my Blue Eyes white Dragon and my Lord of Dragons! Come, Kaiser Glider and Luster Dragon 2!"

"What's that for God's sake? You won't win with that!" Marik yelled. "Who said I will win using them? I will win with this. By Banishing a Light and a Dark type monsters from my graveyard, I can special summon my Chaos Emperor Dragon-Envoy of the end!" She summoned, in her last monster zone, a new dragon. "And I will activate it's effect! It will destroy all cards in our hands and field, and for each one of them you will get 300 lifepoints damage!" She smirked. "You fool, Slifer can't be destroyed!"

"I don't need to destroy Slifer, I only neeed to destroy YOU! NOW!" The effect activated, the Chaos Emperor Dragon shined and destroyed all cards, except for Slifer. However, Marik soon realized that, with 15 cards on his hand, Maria's victory was more than clear. "No..! MARIIIA KAIIIIBAAAAAA!" He yelled as he was sent away with the explosion, his life points reaching 0. The card of Slifer the Sky Dragon descended and Maria grabbed it. She seemed to feel...great with it on some form. She looked to Mokuba. "Let's. leave! You won this time, I didn't do a shadow game because you still could live once I had taken of Kaiba Corp, but now." He snapped his fingers as the man holding Mokuba broke his neck with his hands. Maria's eyes widened. "MOOOOOKUUUBAAAAAAA!" She ran up and held the lifeless body of her brother. She began to cry, the tears rolling down her cheeks. "NOOOOOO!" She yelled to the sky, one victory and a huge loss...
