Blue: ~waves hello happily to all readers. ~ "Hi there everyone! I just wanted to make clear before hand that I have no real knowledge of how to play Duel Monsters, so I have made up a few cards and rules of my own to be used in this story."
Yami Blue: ~Drops lazily and bored out of his mind to the bed next to where Blue is writing on her computer. ~ "Don't you have anything better to do?" ~He says sarcastically. ~
Blue: ~keeps typing in her computer but tries to maintain a friendly conversation ~ "Like what, for example?"
Yami Blue: ~Softens features while looking at the ceiling. ~ "I don't know… I mean… don't you ever like, go out or something?"
Blue: ~Stops typing and reconsiders. ~ "You know… Now that you mention it, it has been a while since the last time I went out with my friends. I guess I'll give them a call." ~Turns off the computer and leaves happily to find the telephone. ~

The Prophet
Chapter 4: "And who might you be?"
By Blue
Seto Kaiba was sitting in his desk, waiting with a grimaced face for what promised to be a very boring first day of school. He knew very well that he could be tutored at home, yet he found that idea extremely confiding and even more tedious than the first one. As the CEO of his own company and expert duelist he considered that it was better to be outside, in the real world, where he could widen his perspective and have a clearer vision of what the future might bring.
After his unexpected mishap with Pegasus and Yugi Mutou he realized that he could not afford to let down his guard again or to let his arrogance blind him from what was important. His personality had not changed much, in the months that had followed the Duelist Kingdom Tournament, yet in his ways Seto Kaiba had changed considerably. He became more affectionate with his little brother Mokuba and although he never admitted to like their company he was often civil to Yugi and his friends.
In the time he spent with his fellow duelists, Kaiba had learned about the millennium items and the powers they bestowed over their masters, but even after acquiring this knowledge he had not stopped from trying to defeat his rival Yami/Yugi. He was very determined to reclaim his title as world champion, and he will not stop achieving victory. Even now, as he waited for his first class to begin he was still looking at his cards and thinking of a new strategy to use against his eternal rival.
"You never give up, do you?" Said Yami to Kaiba as he walked inside the classroom and found him looking at his cards. "You wish…" Answer Kaiba with a smirk, as he recognized the voice of the ancient spirit coming from Yugi's body. He had not expected to hear from Yami so early in the morning and although he would never say it he was always glad to see him. "Do you really expect me to give up? What kind of person do you think I am?" He asked now looking directly at him. "A very stubborn one." Yami answered fondly while sitting next to him. "I have told you many times before… you cannot win against the power of my millennium puzzle." He declared with great confidence yet Kaiba remained unaffected. "Your overconfidence will be your undoing, Pharaoh. You of all people should know that nobody is unbeatable. And I will find a way to defeat you eventually, make no mistake about that." Kaiba exclaimed before gathering his cards and arranging them back in a deck. "On the other hand, if you are too scared to face…" He sneaked the harmless little come back knowing very well that Yami could not resist the challenge."Very well… Just don't expect me to go easy on you just because we are now friends." Yami answered back while sitting on a desk next to him and preparing himself for class. Times like this were now often to the spirit of the millennium puzzle as he would do regular normal stuff like taking a class or going out just to have fun with his friends. Yugi had even asked his grandfather permission to have his Yami living at their home as part of the family. He considered the spirit to be as real and human as any of his friends, and he refused to have him always locked up in his soul room like if he where some kind of genie or servant. Yami was happy and very grateful to have such a goodhearted friend, yet there where times likes this when he would take control of Yugi's body that he would become preoccupied for the boy.
"You know… I wouldn't tease him so much, Yami. He is getting better with every duel. So far we have just been lucky to win…" Said Yugi to the spirit by the use of their mind link.
"Don't worry my young friend. I am very aware and proud of our friend's growing improvement. I only tease him to keep his interest. After all, I need him to keep you on your guard… There's no real challenge in a duel if you don not fear you opponent." Said Yami.
"I'm not afraid of Kaiba…" Said Yugi quickly in a defensive way.
"Then why haven't you challenged him without my help, as you have done so many times before with your other friends? And why haven't you come out of your soul room and back into your body to greet him and take your class?" Yami words where more a statement than actual questions. He knew very well that his hikari had avoided Kaiba since the Duel Kingdom Tournament. He didn't actually believed that Yugi was afraid of the boy, however the though of him having that kind of aloof behavior troubled him deeply. Yugi on the other hand, tried to act as normal and cheerful as ever.
"I don't know… I guess I'm just too comfortable in here." Said Yugi playfully and carefree from his soul room.
"That's precisely what I'm worried about… I'm will always be there when you need me aibou, but you can't expect me to live your life for you. You will have to confront Kaiba soon enough, and while we are on that subject, you will have to confront Téa as well." This comment from his Yami did make Yugi jump in surprise and worry. Now that the spirit had his hikari's attention he continued to give his usual lecture to the boy.
"Don't think for a moment that I have forgotten about that little trick you pulled when you set me up on a blind date with her. If you really want to know how she feels then you must be more daring and ask her yourself." Yami said in a commanding way.
"But Yami…" Yugi had begun to protest when he was interrupted by the teacher's arrival.
"Good Morning students!" She said in a business manner. "We'll talk about this later." Said Yami quickly to silence the boy. Yugi might be in his soul room but he still had to pay attention to class while his spirit acted as his eyes and ears. "Please take your sits." The teacher continued while all the students paid attention. "Before we begin, I want you to welcome a new student." As soon as she said this, a girl student came into the classroom holding a few books in her hand and carrying a backpack over her shoulder. "Miss Hashikawa you may introduce yourself to the rest of the class." The teacher directed to the girl while she stood in front of the entire class to make her introduction. With her long dark unruly hair, tanned skin and blood red eyes she gave the same impression of a panther, which can resemble elegance and beauty as well as fierceness and strength. "Hello… I'm Kei Hashikawa..." Said the serious looking girl in a monotone voice. "Isn't there anything more you would like to tell us?" The teacher pleaded yet she continued to look unaffected. "I don't like talking about myself." She said flatly. Kei didn't mean to sound hostile or unfriendly. That was just the way she was."Oh… Well… Thank you anyway Miss Hashikawa, you may sit down." The teacher said somewhat uncomfortable with the girl's antisocial behavior but she excused her nevertheless. Kei then walked forward and sat a few sits just in front of the boys. Kaiba watched the exotic beauty with intense curiosity as well as Yugi and his yami.
Hm… Yami? Is that what I think it is? Yugi asked suddenly realizing something very particular about the new girl's backpack.
Yes it is… Very interesting…Yami said to Yugi confirming his suspicions. Kaiba had noticed how Yami/Yugi had stared at the new girl and could not resist teasing him about it "Taking a liking to the new girl, I see!" Kaiba teased yet the ancient spirit answered him with an all-knowing smirk."I would say it is you who admires the girl's good looks since you failed to notice anything else."
Kaiba frowned a little not liking how he had ended as the subject of his own joke.
"What do you mean?"
"Take a closer look to what she is carrying."
Kaiba then observed the backpack more carefully and realized that it was a special kind of bag made to carry big amounts of Duel Monster Cards.
"Well, well, well… would you look at that!" Kaiba exclaimed with a hint of his sinister excitement.
"She must have at least four different decks in that bag." Yugi commented silently to his partner.
"I wonder why she would bring that many cards on the first day of school." Kaiba said playfully not really meant as a question.
"I think she came well prepared to either trade some cards, or to make a statement." At this exact moment Kei happened to turn her head to look at the students behind her. She stared for a second or two directly at Kaiba but only because she could tell that he and another boy seemed to be speaking about her. When Kaiba realized that he, unlike Yugi, who was out of her field of vision, had been caught in the act, he simply smiled arrogantly at the girl making her frown and turn her back on them in return.
"What do you think?" Asked Yami, wondering why Kaiba looked so interested in the girl.
"I think, this day might not turn out to be such a boring one after all." Kaiba answered with a predatory look in his eyes.
For Kaiba a new duelist meant new cards and new strategies he could later add to his own. He knew that with each victory he became a stronger opponent for Yugi and he was eager to challenge this new duelist, even if she was just some mindless little girl in his book.
Some classes and a few hours later came the time for lunchtime and recess, giving the students the opportunity to eat as well as to do what they liked to do best, and that was playing some cards.
A large group had gathered in the school's courtyard around a playing table where the new mysterious dark haired girl had made the open challenge to any student brave enough to face her in a duel. So far she had won against ten or more of the best player the school had to offer yet none of them included Yugi or one of his friends.
"No way!" A boy exclaimed in indignation as he realized that he had lost the match.
"Sorry kid… but you did put a good fight." Kei said to him with respect yet her kind words didn't seemed to lessen the pain of her opponent's defeat.
"I can't believe I lost!" Said the boy with some sorrow while others laughed playfully at his pitiful expression."Don't look so surprised! She has already beaten half the student body." One boy from the crowd commented.
"Oh yeah? Well I bet there are some friends of mine who she doesn't stand a chance against." Another boy added with some spite yet Kei only smiled at the boy's cocky attitude.
"I sincerely hope so? I would hate to think that I came to this country to learn nothing new." She girl said with admirable self-assurance and then a deep strong voice from a familiar duelist was heard above the others.
"I'm glad to see someone who is not afraid of a challenge." Said Yami to the new girl while the students moved out of the way to make room for the new challenger.
"Look its Yugi!" A boy commented with please.
"Alright! Now we are talking!" Another said with excitement. They were all eager to see the newcomer be put to shame.
"Yugi?" Kei asked with some fright and her eyes widen in surprise.
"The… Yugi Mutou?" She obviously knew him by reputation and was now aware of how big of a challenge his next contender will be.
"That's right." Said Yami with his signature self-confident smile.
"And if you are willing, I will like to challenge you to a duel?" Kei recovered from her amazed state to greet her opponent, as she would do any other.
"You give me much honor Yugi Mutou. Is not every day that a champion duelist wishes to face me. Although I must confess, I expected the so called King of Games to be a lot more intimidating… or at least somewhat taller… no offence." She said in a cool manner yet with good humor.
"None taken." Yami said sincerely. He was glad to find that the girl in spite of her dark looks and somewhat distant personality she was not only a good duelist but in fact a humble and respectable person. It was a shame that so many others who were as good as her tended to act conceited and even cruel with their opponents.
"So… should we begin?" The girl asked while shuffling the same deck of cards she had been using against the other students. Yugi was about to take out his own cards out when all of the sudden someone called for them to stop.
"Wait…" The low and characteristic voice of Seto Kaiba commanded.
"In order to face Yugi you will have to face me first."
"And who might you be?" The girl Kei asked with a frown after recognizing the boy with the long purple overcoat and briefcase. It was the same boy she had caught talking behind her back earlier during class.
"If you knew of Yugi Mutou then you must have surely heard about me as well." Said the boy looking smugly at the two.
"What gives Kaiba?" Yami asked felling very confused by the boy's intrusion.
"Kaiba! You---you are Seto Kaiba?" Kaiba's notice the girl's reaction as she spoke somewhat fretfully. He kept looking at her with intense determination yet he continued to address Yugi without pause.
"Sorry Yugi, but it is only right that you should be the last in turn. After all, you are the duelist, who is at the moment highest in rank. If this little girl wants to duel with you then she must first prove that she is worthy of such challenge." Yugi frowned from his soul room at Kaiba's audacity feeling very displeased to see him act as his old egotistical self again. Yami just witness with boredom what he understood to be the boy's wounded pride.
"I still fail to see your point, Kaiba." Yami exclaimed without amusement while the new girl, Kei, took hold of her emotions to speak with character on her behalf.
"Nevertheless, there is some truth in his words." She spoke out loud with great seriousness.
"I would like to face him first, if you don't mind?" She asked respectfully to the King of Games but without taking her eyes from Kaiba.
"So you know who I am, after all?" Said Kaiba while smiling smugly.
"You see Yugi? Even she understands what I'm talking about. Weak duelist should do well to recognize their superiors." He laughed at her softly but effectively, as she glared back at the boy's provocation with furor.
"The only thing I recognize is that you are indeed as arrogant, as people say. It is sad really… but if a duel is what you want then it will be my pleasure to be the one to finally teach you some humility." Nobody in the room, not even Seto himself, could believe that this girl had, just threatened him, in her own way. He had been very pleased by her defiance at first but all too soon his sentiment turned into hatred more than excitement.
"You've got spunk kid, I'll give you that." He said with malice. He could almost taste her defeat and sub-sequential humiliation.
"You will find soon enough that I have more than just words. Like you, I also have some unique cards in my possession but I have restrained myself from using them until now." While saying this to her challenger, Kei put her deck back into her bag and took out a new one that was distinctively held together by a crimson ribbon.
"To honor your challenge Seto Kaiba, I will use this particular deck, which I have reserved to use only with a special duelist such as yourself." Kaiba smiled.
"In that case, let me offer you a special treat of my own." Kaiba placed his briefcase over the table and took out a Duel Disk from it and handed it to Kei.
"What the hell is this thing?" Said Kei very intrigued about the funny looking contraption.
"It's my latest invention. I call it the Duel Disk System. I'm sure you will come to appreciate it, as it is a more proper setting than a game table." To prove his point he placed a card on the disk and let it spin on the floor to reveal immediately the three-dimensional image of his gigantic and snarling monster.
"Incredible… these things really 'do' make the monsters come to life." She exclaimed in awe. Yugi and the others looked at the girl in surprise. She was an excellent duelist yet she had never played the game with holographic enhancers before.
"I see that my little toy has manage to impress you." Kaiba exclaimed proudly. He was thinking of the girl for a moment to look somewhat cute in her ignorance but he refused quickly to keep indulging himself with such thoughts. Sympathy was for the weak-minded and had no place in his world.
"I'll be glad to let you keep it as souvenir… if you happen to win, that is." There was a hidden catch in Kaiba's words as Kei instantly deciphered that a bet had been established.
"And if 'you' win?" She asked with mistrust yet brave enough to take any risk.
"Then I will reserve the right for you to ever face Yugi Mutou in a duel." He smirked.
"Deal!" She gave her direct answer with speed and confidence before placing her deck on her dueling disk. Both duelists moved away from each other and the crowd, placing themselves into proper dueling positions.
"Isn't there something we can do to stop this, Yami?" Yugi made the silent plea to his partner yet Yami only crossed his arms over his chest and stood by, doing nothing to stop them.
"Sorry aibou… but this matter has long since fallen from being any of our business." Said flatly the spirit.
"But this isn't fair! She doesn't have to fight Kaiba! She and I can play against whomever we well damn please!" Yugi complained very annoyed.
"You are absolutely right… however… you forget that facing Kaiba was her choice not yours."
"But still…how can she win against him?" Yugi exclaimed a little saddened.
"If there is one thing I have learned from you Yugi, is that a strong will and a good heart can go far beyond any expectation. Let us just wait a see what the outcome of this duel will be." Yami's words managed to silence his light, but still Yugi prayed for this game not to end in tragedy.
"Well then, lets get this show started, should we?" Said Kei bravely and ready to begin.
"I play this card, The Mysterious Lady of the Forrest, in defense mode!" As soon as the disk touched the ground the figure of a beautiful woman dressed like some damsel from a fairytale materialized before their eyes. Because she was in defense mode, the woman had dropped one knee to the ground and had joined her hands together as in prayer.
"Is that it? I should have expected a girl to have her deck full of cute little cards." Said Kaiba to taunt her into getting angry, however, Kei kept her calm posture.
"It takes more than strength to win in a duel Kaiba. You should have learned that long ago after losing against someone like Yugi." She attended to hit a vulnerable nerve with that little comeback and she succeeded.
"I'll make you eat your words you insolent little brat!" Kaiba cursed silently without giving her the pleasure of his discontent.
"Brave words little girl… Lets just see how you stand against this card. I call upon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, in attack mode!" As the magnificent beast raged forward into reality all the students cowered away from the fierce creature. Everyone had been effectively intimidated by his ferocious looking dragon except for the King of Games and his female opponent.
"I'm impressed… most duelist quaver at the sight of my Blue-Eyes…" Thought Kaiba admiring her bravery before ordering his attack.
"Blue Eyes… attack with your white lightning!" The dragon came close to Kei's lady and grumbled but did not attack.
"What's wrong with you dragon? I said attack!" He repeated angrily the command to the disobedient beast with no effect.
"Don't waste your breath… Don't you know by now that your dragon can't attack my Lady!" Kei announced. The dragon began to quiet down and relax before their eyes.
"Impossible! How are you able to do this?" Kaiba exclaimed.
"When placed in defense mode no animal or beast is able to resist my lady's charm." Kei said in her usual monotone tone.
"Nonsense! I've never heard of a card with such effect!" Kaiba refuted.
"I'm not surprised."
"And why is that?" She smiled a little. It was know Kaiba's turn to look ignorant.
"Because, like most cards in my deck, this one has never been played in a duel before." She could see that her statement had only managed to confuse more her audience, so she continued with her explanation.
"You see… Like all card games, when Pegasus release his creation into the opened marked some cards where bought by collectors only to be stored away. This card was never meant to be used in a duel yet I can see that it's effect has been programmed into your machine's data base." Kaiba's dragon had now become a harmless creature in presence of Kei's lady. At the sight of the magnificent purring creature Kei could not stop herself from stepping closer to touch the beast. She petted the dragon's head gently as if Kaiba's most feared monster were nothing but a harmless puppy.
"I must say… I knew that you had this particular monster but I never expected it to be so beautiful..." She exclaimed with veneration while Kaiba looked at her like he wanted to kill her. For the proud champion this simple gesture had been consider as the greatest insult to his carrier.
"Enjoy the moment while you still can, cause I will dispatch of that wimpy card of your soon enough." Kaiba said while biting down hard to control his raging anger. Kei noticed the dislike in Kaiba's eyes so she stopped what she was doing and went back to her previous position.
"You are right… my lady is considerable weak against most cards… However..." She took another card from her deck.
"Because you wasted your turn in a useless attack it is now my turn to play again and I choose to play my lady in attack mode." Kaiba tensed in reaction to her move.
"What is she doing? She can't be stupid enough to switch her card to attack mode. I can easily destroy her now in my next turn. What is she thinking?"
Kei now continued to move with her plan.
"And to help my Lady take out your dragon I bestow upon her the power of this magic card, called the Dragon's Bane!" Yugi and some other students gasped in amazement, while Kaiba looked totally horrified.
"No way!" He knew as well as her the effect of this particular magic card.
"Yes… When a monster burns this poisonous incense in the battle field it is hardly effective on strong monsters but for your dragon is extremely lethal." Thanks to the effect of the magic card, the Lady of the Forrest now held an incense burner in her hand, which made somewhat of a green fog around the field. The Blue-Eyes soon went to sleep and then fell apart into million little pixels as all monster did when they where destroyed.
"No…" Kaiba gasped in disbelieve.
"I will also play this card faced down ending now my turn." Kei said flatly. She looked rather uncaring for someone who had just defeated one of Seto Kaiba's strongest and most fear monsters. Kaiba was reacting strangely as well. He began to shake in humor and then suddenly he burst out with laughter.
"Serves me right for underestimating you woman!" He laughed some more for a few seconds and then his laughter died down to be replaced with an evil look.
"However… You have still to pay for your insolence." He retrieved quickly his disk and placed in it another card before throwing it back.
"I call upon my Dark Clown in attack mode." Kaiba's demented clown came into creation with a sinister smile in his face.
"Take her down…" He gave the simple and low command and his monster obeyed destroying Kei's shrieking lady in a instant.
"Your witch is no more… as well as your poison… So what else do you got up your sleeve?" He said smugly to his opponent and Kei smiled back with same sentiment.
The duel continued with intense ferocity as both players where incredibly skilled in figuring out moves and comebacks. They where putting quite a demonstration for Yugi and the other students as they used cards and combinations they had never even though about before that day.
Kei kept using mostly effect and magic cards, which made Kaiba, think that she really didn't possess any strong monsters in her deck, so he figured that by calling upon his strongest monster, The Ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon, he would win the match for sure.
"Go ahead and make your move woman, for it will be your last," thought Kaiba, as he waited for Kei's to make her next move. He had two of his Blue-Eyes in the field at the moment and he had just eliminated the strongest monster she had ever placed on the field.
"What's wrong little girl? Scared to make your next move?" Kaiba snarled with impatience while Kei was looking calmly at the cards in her hand.
"You have failed to intimidate me before Kaiba. What makes you think that I would be scared now that I am sure to win?" Kei declared seriously but Kaiba was not impressed.
"That's not what the score says…" He snickered with confidence.
"No… but that is what my cards tell me. Or do you forget that I still have a card placed facing down." Kei had kept a card facing down for some time and this had made Kaiba very nervous at first but as the match went on, he concluded that she might have just placed the annoying card for that precise purpose and nothing more.
"You are bluffing! If that card had been any good against my dragons you would have used it up by now."
"Still, I am so sure of my coming victory that I am whiling to offer you a draw."
"A draw?" This turn of events took everyone by surprise including Yami/Yugi.
"That's right! If we were to declare a draw now that the score is tied, then we could both walk out of here without losing face." Yami gave Kei credit for choosing this course of action when he, himself had not though about it before. It was his opinion that both duelists where equally matched, although, he had noticed some restrain on the girl's behave.
"What the hell are you saying? There has never been a draw establish in a duel. When playing Duel Monsters, you either win or louse. There is no other choice!" Kaiba spited furiously. He was tired of the girl's unpredictable efforts to win. She was making him look like a foolish amateur.
"I beg to differ… where I come from, a draw brings more honor to a duelist than even a flawless victory. A true duelist recognizes that just one triumph or one defeat accounts for nothing as both, in life are equally possible… It takes more character for a duelist to admit that his skill is equal to another, than to admit defeat." Kaiba could not believe the girl was lecturing him.
"You can keep your foolish sense of honor as well as your speeches little girl! I'm not falling for anymore of your tricks." He mocked her without any empathy.
"I am not trying to trick you, you ungrateful fool!" It was the first time that she had shown so much sentiment when speaking. Apparently, she had been very offended by his words, and was now also showing some sadness as she continued to speak.
"What I'm offering to you here is a priceless gift. I understand that my offer is hard to accept for I myself have never accepted a draw before or had ever offered to pledge one with another duelist." Her confession moved Yugi and Yami's heart. They believe that her words were sincere and not easily spoken.
"I know that it is no easy thing to do… yet I ask you to reconsider." She pleaded but her plea seemed to fall in dead ears as Kaiba looked dreadfully unaffected.
"I do know who you are Seto Kaiba… you have yet to know who I am but I know you very well. I have admired your carrier for quite some time. Think about it! How else could I have known what cards you would play?" Kaiba didn't even flinched at her words yet in his chest he felt an ache, like something old pulling at his heart.
"Please… accept my offer… I don't wish to end this match with you as my enemy." Kaiba let himself be overwhelmed by dark aura of negativity. He had accepted in some way his inferiority to Yugi and Pegasus but only because Yami had made specifically clear that they possessed the unfair advantage of the power of the millennium items. There was no chance in hell that his pride would let him recognize this lowly amateur, this girl, to be his equal.
"My enemy you are… as well as any other duelist who thinks that he can match me in a duel. Now… either play your next card or forfeit the match." He declared his decision with unnerving calmness and a disturbing low tone of voice. Kei closed her eyes in disappointment and hurt before making her play.
"I play this card, The Nameless Knight, in defense mode." She announced nonchalantly before throwing her disk. A bright and shining armored young man came into creation. Kaiba knew perfectly well that with the knight having so low defense points he could easily wipe him out with his two dragons. However, because she had placed him in defense mode that meant that he could use the opportunity to do as he had planned. By this time Kaiba didn't just wanted to win, he wanted to crush her like an insect.
"Then I play my Mystical Elf. With her power I can call forward a monster from the graveyard, and guess which one I want?"
"His going to call on his third Blue-Eyes." Yugi and Yami said at the same time realizing what Kaiba had planned.
"The Blue-Eyes White Dragon you took from me at the beginning of the match. Not only that, but also, with the power of this polarization card, I will combine my dragons to create an even greater monster, The Ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon." The monstrosity of Kaiba's tree-headed dragon was beyond believed. Kei looked with awe at the overwhelming presence of such frightening yet magnificent beast and prepared herself for what was coming.
"Ultimate Dragon… eliminate her nameless knight with your white lightning!" The dragon released his fury upon the knight, covering everything and everyone in reach with the resulting debris. Kaiba stood confident and steady as well as Yugi/Yami waiting for the dust to subside.
"You are so predictable…" Kei announced just before the field could be seen clearly. Her knight remained in the field intact and radiating with new gained power,
"What's this?" Kaiba was the only one to say this out loud, but in reality everyone was troubled by the same question.
"That is the effect of my Drain Card... This rare magic card allows my monster to counter an attack by absorbing its energy and adding it as a bonus to his attack points. And as you must know… the stronger the attack, the stronger my monster becomes."
"I see… That's why she didn't use the card before." Yugi exclaimed silently to his Yami.
"Indeed… She was waiting for Kaiba to call upon his strongest monster to gain the more power." Yami commented back to his partner while Kaiba only laughed once more at her futile intents to gain the upper hand.
"But your plan failed… Your knight is still no match for the supreme power of my dragon." He announced with arrogance and Kei frowned in return.
"Not yet… but once I play this card…" She took a card from her hand showed and it to Kaiba before placing it on the disk. It was an accessory card that had a drawing of two golden wings.
"That card only gives the gift of flight. What good can that be to her knight?" Kaiba questioned feeling unnerved by her confidence.
"With this new set of wings my knight remains nameless no more! Behold his true form!" She announced, as her knight was enfolded in bright golden light and be transformed into armored angel with long blond hair and a radiating presence.
"He is now The Archangel Michael… better know as, The Dragon Slayer." Kaiba knew very well the existence of this monster, yet he could not believe this girl had summoned him as well as he could not believe his eyes when he was face to face with Yugi's unstoppable Exodia. This angel had the ability to weaken any dragons attack power by half, and now with his actual empowered state, he could very well be recognized as the perfect nemesis to his Ultimate Dragon's.
"Attack…" Kei gave the simple command and the powerful angel materialized a large lance made out of sunlight and launched himself with it towards the mighty dragon, ramming it trough his heart. The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon gave out a loud cry before he was shockingly destroyed, along with his master's remaining life point. The duel was finally over, and Kaiba had lost.
