Disclaimer: I don't own Yuugiou.

Note: Alright, I know I don't do well at separating paragraphs so sorry about that. Even my teacher says that I'm bad at doing that so I promise to try harder. Oh, and Potato, you forgot to include exactly what made my writing boring. Thank you for my first flame but I was hoping you would tell me what else it was besides the lack of enough paragraph breaks. Hopefully, if you're reading this, you'll include the parts that seemed boring to you and maybe some pointers. I'll admit that I am not a very good writer so I'll appreciate any advice.

Second Note: This is a duel scene. I couldn't put the whole duel into one paragraph because it would be too long. I don't know how to duel so if anyone gives me any ideas, I'll be much obliged.

"Duel!" they shouted.

They had decided in playing in the following order: Apophis, Seth, Pakhufu, Yuugi. They were playing with 4000 life points each. When both members of a team lose all their life points, they lose.

"Let's make this a bit more interesting," said Apophis. Seth narrowed his eyes distrustfully while Yuugi just glared, unblinking. "We will put up whatever is most precious to us as a sacrifice."

Seth widened his eyes. The most precious thing to him was…Mokuba! If he lost, Mokuba would…he couldn't even bear to think about it. "So it is your brother that you care about most, Seth. Who is it for you, little boy? Your Yami's soul is no more. Who is the next most precious to you?" Apophis taunted. Yuugi gasped. 'Jounouchi! If anything happens to him, I'll never forgive myself!' he thought fiercely.

"So, it's your friend that you value most? He will be your sacrifice," he said. "For Pakhufu, the sacrifice will be the souls of his family. My sacrifice shall be nothing. There is nothing as precious to me as my self and I don't value anything else. I have nothing to lose." he hissed, grinning wildly.

The named sacrifices were chained above their heads unconscious. "Jounouchi!!" "Mokuba!!" Yuugi and Seth yelled out. Each gritted their teeth and got ready to duel.

"Alright then, my turn," Apophis said, his expression serious. "I lay a monster card face down and I place Magic Swordsman Neo (4/1700/1000) in attack mode. I also lay down one magic card and end my turn."

"My turn and I play the Kaizer Seahorse (4/1750/1650) in attack. I also lay two cards face down. Now, Kaizer Seahorse, Attack the swordsman!" Kaizer Seahorse lifted his sword and followed out his master's command, destroying Magic Swordsman Neo.

Apophis = 3950

Seth = 4000

Apophis felt pain searing through him but just shrugged it off. He was just getting started. It was his minion, Pakhufu's turn.

"I play the Lord of Dragons and the Dragon-Calling Horn. This allows me to call forth Tyrant Dragon (8/2900/2500) and Emerald Dragon (6/2400/1400)," Pakhufu yelled out in a loud voice. " Tyrant Dragon, destroy the Kaizer Seahorse." The Tyrant Dragon emitted a huge burst of energy, annihilating Kaizer Seahorse. Seth felt the pain of his monster and gasped sharply. "I end my turn."

Seth = 2850

Pakhufu = 4000

Yuugi looked at the cards in his hand. He didn't have anything that would let him destroy one of Pakhufu's dragons, not yet anyway. He looked at his hand. He held a Black Magician but didn't want to use it yet. He was saving it for something direr. 'I need to defend,' he thought. Picking up a card, he said, "I play the Retrained Elven Swordsman (4/1400/1200) in defense and I lay a magic card. You can attack but you cannot destroy it!" Yuugi smirked and ended his turn.

'This will be a piece of cake,' thought Apophis. 'He actually thinks he can beat me!' At this, the dragon laughed inwardly. It would be so much fun to hand him a humiliating defeat. "I play Bird Face (4/1600/1600)," he said. "True, none of the monsters could destroy him because they were over 1900 attack points. This card however is not, therefore I can destroy your "great" monster. Bird Face, attack!" Apophis watched with satisfaction as Bird Face destroyed the Retrained Elven Swordsman. The monster was in defense, therefore, did not hurt Yuugi's life points. However, that did not stop him from feeling unbearable pain. He gritted his teeth, refusing to admit to any weakness.

Apophis = 3950

Yuugi = 4000

Seth looked at his hand. He was holding a Radiance as well as a Blue Eyes and a Jar of Greed. Using Angel's Gift, he got rid of two Black Magicians and drew another Blue Eyes White Dragon, a Blood Vors, and a Holy Elf's Blessing. He inwardly smirked at his lucky draw. "I place two cards face down and play the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Blue Eyes, Destroy Bird Face. White Lightning Attack!" he yelled. The Blue Eyes White Dragon Released a beam of white energy, instantly obliterating Bird Face.

Apophis = 1600

Seth = 2850

'They're winning,' Pakhufu thought. 'I want to die, to be out of this misery but my family…they don't deserve to be tortured. I must play, for my family's sake!' Pakhufu played with renewed vigor. "I place two cards face down and put my monsters on defense."

"My turn! Draw card!" Hoping for the best, Yuugi drew a card. It was the Magic Jammer. 'Using this card now wouldn't be a good idea. They have a few cards face down but I should hold on to it. I just hope I can get the god cards out. No doubt, that's what the dragon is trying to do.' "I lay two cards face down and play the Gilfar Demon (6/2200/2500) in defense mode. End turn."

"So, little boy, you're already on defense and running. I'm sure I'll enjoy crushing you." Apophis jeered. "You haven't crushed me yet, Apophis, and I assure you, you won't!" spoke Yuugi with confidence and strength that surprised even himself. "What makes you think you'll win? You've never played the likes of me before, and you'll never live to play anyone else again," jeered Apophis. Seth stared at Apophis levelly with his fathomless blue eyes. "Look who's talking. You're about to be crushed while you haven't touched one of Yuugi's life points." Apophis growled at that.

"Whatever. My turn! Draw card!" Apophis yelled, obviously annoyed by Seth. 'They think they're going to win. Well, they're wrong! They don't know what I'm up to. Soon all of their life points will be gone and I will remain standing. They will not take me away from my destiny!,' Apophis thought. The cards currently in his hand were: Black Magician, Harpy Lady (he had this due to Bird Face's effect), Mysterious Puppeteer, Angel's Die, and Thunderbolt. He drew the card Falcon Knight (3/1000/700).

"I play the Falcon Knight! I also use the magic card Angel's Die! This allows me to roll a die and increase my monster's attack!" A huge die materialized in front of the Falcon Knight and spun faster and faster until it slowed and finally landed on the number five. "I am allowed to increase the attack and defense of all my monsters by 500." Apophis announced, cackling gleefully. The Falcon Knight slashed through Gilfar Demon, causing Yuugi to double over in pain.

"H-how did you do that? The attack should've been at 1500! It shouldn't be able to destroy the Gilfar Demon!" Yuugi cried, his voice betraying his shock. Apophis laughed. "Wouldn't you like to know, little boy!" he sneered. "You should have known Falcon Knight's effect was that it can attack twice on the same turn. I simply had it attack your demon twice. What is 1500 plus 1500? 3000! Too bad that you were on defense though. I guess you're too afraid to attack like a man!" taunted Apophis. Yuugi just gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"My turn," yelled Seth, breaking the silence. "I play the second Blue Eyes White Dragon!" As soon as the words left his mouth, an enormous dragon appeared from an orb of blinding light. "Apophis," Seth drawled. "Your little trick lasted for one turn. Falcon Knight is back to 1500 attack points. I wonder what would happen if I attacked it now. Blue Eyes White Dragon, destroy Falcon Knight!" Blue Eyes White Dragon reared its head, a ball of white energy forming in its mouth. Within seconds, released it, intending to destroy Falcon Knight, however, the knight remained standing. "What?! My dragon should've demolished your monster! What's going on?!" Seth asked, shocked at the outcome.

"How did you like my surprise, Seth?" taunted Apophis. Using a single claw, he flipped over one of his magic cards. "I had placed Attack Nullification before. Looks like you just wasted your turn."

"It's my turn then," Yuugi declared. "Draw card! I play Magnet Warrior Gamma (4/1500/1800) in defense!" "And yet again, the little boy is running from me," Apophis stated mockingly. "Do you fear me so much that you'll let Seth do the fighting for you while you run and hide? Hmph, just like when your yami was alive. You always hid behind him, letting him handle the real work. Do you plan on doing this for the rest of your life? I have eternity to see you lose."

At the mention of Yami, Yuugi's eyes became watery. Silent tears fell when he realized it was painfully true. If he had taken his own punishment, Yami would've still been here. 'Why do I even bother? I'm gonna lose anyway. Maybe I should just give up. I have nothing to live for anymore anyway.' Yuugi thought. Suddenly, he heard a courageous voice cry out to him inside his head. 'Trust in the cards Yuugi, trust in yourself!' 'Yami…. I can't let you down! I'll win this one, for you!'
