Chapter 7: One More Duel Till Destiny
As fatigue rushed throughout the young teenager's body, Gen'in got to her feet and began to make her way towards the railing to look at the arena with a sad, deep stare. Noticing the girl's sad eyes, Yami Yugi decided that he wanted to help Gen'in's mind to rest from the torturing thoughts that ran through her mind. So he began to make his way towards the girl, and stopped when he was by her side. While staring out at the arena with Gen'in, he gently talked to Gen'in without turning to look at her.
"If you won the second part of the finals, would you fight the other winner or would you duel as team with the second winner?"
With Yami Yugi's words, Gen'in quickly turned to look at him, and yelled out her answer.
"I work alone! I don't need somebody's help to defeat Pegasus!"
"Pegasus, isn't someone that should be underestimated, not even by the best of duelists, and you did see what he did to the World Champion, correct?" said Yami Yugi while looking at Gen'in.
"Yes, I did see what Pegasus did to Kaiba..." Gen'in said softly.
"If you don't want to loose your chance of helping the one you love, you should work as a team to ensure your chances of victory. Friends make the impossible possible."
"I don't know of real friendship, because I've always been busy of taking care of my mother because she was always sick, and the doctors couldn't find out why. It happens she had cancer, and when she died my father became ill of a strong virus at least that's what the doctors said, but I believe it is heartbreak. Taking care of your sick parents doesn't make time for friends, but I did get a family member to take care of my father for a while. But I have to return soon, because she doesn't want to take care of my father for to long. So the money will help take care of my father..."
"You have fr---"
As Yami Yugi and Gen'in tried to finish their conversation, Yami Yugi was cut off by the announcer.
"Would Yugi Motou and Retie Shih take their places on the arena?! Yugi will take the red side and Retie the blue side, now prepare your decks and yourselves for the duel that will take place shortly!"
Yami Yugi looked at the announcer, and turned away from Gen'in.
"I will talk to you more after the duel if you wish to continue this conversation."
With that Yami Yugi began to walk away from the teenager, and as he walked away Gen'in whispered to herself.
"I look forward to dueling by your side in the final test of our dueling skills... the final duel of this tournament."
As Yami Yugi made his way towards the red side of the arena, he was stopped by the yelling of a girl behind him and turned around to see who it was. He discovered that his opponent, Retie Shih was calling out for him, and he saw that the girl wore traditional Japanese clothing, and had short blonde hair with hazel colored eyes.
"I hope that you're prepared to loose this duel, Yugi Motou!" Retie said ignorantly.
Yami Yugi turned back around and ignored the girl's remark, and positioned himself on the red side of the arena and prepared his deck. Retie did the same, and looked up at Yami Yugi and smirked at him believing that this would be an easy duel. Yami Yugi drew five cards, Summoned Skull, Dark Magician, Swords of Revealing Light, Celtic Guardian, and De-Spell. Retie drew five cards as well, Dark Magician Girl, Trap Master, Man Eating Bug, Crawling Dragon, and Reverse Trap.
"Let the duel begin! Blue side make your move!" yelled the announcer.
"I shall begin with playing my Crawling Dragon, which has attack power of 1600 and a defense of 1400, in attack mode, and I shall play a trap card face down."
Yami Yugi looked at Retie before looking at his cards.
"I play my Summoned Skull in attack mode, and it has an attack power of 2500 and a defense power of 1200. And I shall play a magic card face down!"
Retie drew the card Thunder Dragon and smirked at the card.
"I play a monster card face down! Make your move!"
Yami Yugi drew the magic card the Book of Secret Arts.
"I play my Dark Magician in attack mode, and he has an attack of 2500 and a defense of 2100, and I shall play the magic card the Book of Secret Arts, which raises my Dark Magician's attack and defense power by 300. And to end my turn I will have the Dark Magician attack your Crawling Dragon, which leaves you with 800 life points!"
Retie growled at Yami Yugi for taking out so much of her life points in one turn, and she drew the magic card Double Draw, and played it immediately.
"I play my magic card Double Draw, which allows me to draw to more cards!"
Retie quickly drew two cards, and smirked as she looked at the two cards, Thunder Dragon and Polymerization.
"I play my Polymerization card to fuse my two Thunder Dragons to create the powerful Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, and with an attack power of 2800 and a defense of 2100 it rivals your Dark Magician! I shall keep my most powerful monster at bay for now. Make your move!"
Yami Yugi looked at Rethia's monster and drew the card Waboku, and placed it face down.
"I call upon the powers of the Celtic Guardian! Make your move!"
"Aren't you going to attack!?"
"I have played out my move. Now make yours."
Retie drew her card Sword of Dark Seated.
"I play the magic card, Sword of Dark Seated, which brings up my Twin- Headed Thunder Dragon's attack and defense points up by 500, overpowering your Dark Magician! Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon attack!"
"Not so fast! I play the trap card Waboku, which brings down my opponent's attacking monster down to zero! And I shall end this duel by making my Dark Magician attack! Dark Magician attack!"
The Dark Magician did as Yami Yugi commanded, and before long Retie lost all her life points, while Yami Yugi had lost known.
"You think that this card is just a game of power, but if you put your heart in your dueling you'll become a great duelist."
With his words, Yami Yugi left the arena and headed back to his friends, while Retie looked at Yami Yugi for a few short moments before walking away from the arena and disappeared. After the group had congratulated Yami Yugi for his latest win, Tea looked at the arena before turning to Yami Yugi and Joey.
"Now, what guys?"
"Look." Yami Yugi said while pointing to the dueling chart. "I have won the right to beat Pegasus, but if you remember, there is supposed to be a second winner, and that will be determined after Joey and Gen'in duel one another."
"And our next duel is something that I can't afford to lose, so I will make sure I put my best into, and I'll make sure I'll be by your side, when it's time to duel Pegasus." Said Joey in a serious manner.
Yami Yugi nodded at Joey's statement before turning around and looking at the teenager, who was leaning over the railing and continuing to look onto the arena,
"Just two more duels father." whispered the young teenager.
Author's Note: Not sure how Rethia lost the duel in one hit? Well, here's the explanation; I'm not completely sure how the game in the TV series works because the rules of the series and the card game are different. So I have taken the rules from the card game, in real life, and since Retie had no monster out protecting her life points Yami Yugi used his Dark Magician to hit her life points directly. And since the Dark Magician has an attack power of 2800 her life points were drained with the one hit.
Also, I am sorry for making the duels short; I'm just getting lazy because I want to concentrate on the finals duel, which will hopefully turn out great. And I'm sorry for taking so long to post this up, I've been at my mom's house, which has no computer!
