Yu Gi Oh!: Duels for the Millennium Items, Episode 4: Exodias Wrath

I think I may have got her a little uneasy, but what do I have in my deck that can defeat her, defeat Exodia?

" I will lay one card face down in my magic and trap section, I also switch my harpie ladys to defense mode ending my turn,"

The girl just watched with a bored expression on her face, with only two sets out no one expected and exodia deck and no one was prepared to combat it. Thomas was thinking, he knew Lexs deck well and could not think of a way he could get out of this predicament.

"For my turn I will summon the Mystic Tomato 1400/1100, then I will activate my magic card, Painful Choice allowing me to take five cards from my deck and having you pick the one that will go into my hand, also I set a card in my magic and trap section,"

She quickly got out the 5 cards: The Left Leg of the Forbidden One, The Right Leg of the Forbidden One, Goblin Attack Force, Raigeki, Beast of Talwar.

Huh two pieces of Exodia? But they need to be in you hand to use Exodia... why would she put two pieces with the five, she must plan to monster reborn one then use Hane-Hane! So I just have to chose one of the cards that isn't part of Exodia.

Thomas was watching this. Soon he figure out the plan behind this. He tired to shout out but found he couldn't open his mouth.

This is your friends' duel you may not help him.

Thomas quickly realized that the glowing figure was responsible. He gave up the struggle and watched the duel hoping that Lex figured it out.

"With your swords protection you have time to recover from a single piece in your graveyard but not two, so I chose Goblin Attack Force!"

Thomas sighed in disapproval but nothing was heard. Thomas wore a cocky smile on his face. He looked over to his opponent who also donned a smile.

"It's over, I won, Mystic Tomato attack harpies brother!"

Huh but she'll lose her creature, wait battle damage, she'll have some way to get Hane-Hane if it dies!

As the tomato was doing a dive towards the harpie brother Lex held out his hand.
"Not so fast, I activate my trap card Mirror Force!"

The tomato shattered as soon as it hit the barrier that now protect the harpie brother. Lex let out a laugh at his opponent.

'Delays delays delays! I'm going to beat you sooner or later so stop stalling!"

Lex just stood there enjoying the sight. Thomas still new that Lex was very close to losing, if only he could help him.

"Since yours swords are still active for this turn I'll just lay one card in my magic and trap section and end my turn,"

When Lexs opponent drew her card a wide smile engulfed her face. Thomas knew that the end was near for Lex, while Lex though he was about to win.

"I'll summon Goblin Attack Force! 2300/0,"

Once again Lex put his hand towards his opponent. He flipped he face down card up revealing the trap hole card. As soon as it was brought into the field the trio of green goblins shattered.

Yes she won't have any creatures left to defend her life points, I've won!

Once again he caught his opponent smiling.

"You gave away your only edge, for I might have been more careful if you still had a card in you magic in trap. But now I've won, I use the monster reborn card to summon Mystic Tomato!"

Once again the creepy smiling tomato appeared on the field.

"Attack Harpies Brother Mystic Tomato!" She yelled.

This time the mystic tomato made contact, and was slashed down by harpies brother. Her life points dropped once again going from 3600 to 3200.

"Mystic tomatoes affect allows me to retrieve one dark monster onto the field with and attack power of 1500 or less, and the card I chose is Sangan!"

"You Sangan is useless now that a piece of Exodia is in your graveyard,"

"Just shut up and let me defeat you, sense it's still is my battle phase Sangan attack Harpie Brother!"

The little three eyed furball launched itself at Lexs Harpies brother once again being slashed into many tiny pieces.

"Now with Sangan I will retrieve Exodias' head! And to finish this duel I will use the trap card I set earlier, Backup Solider!"

She returned both pieces of Exodia to her hand an instantly the only thing viewable was a green circle floating in the air, Piece by piece Exodia emerged from the circle, he created a blinding flash of light and a scream was heard from Lex. Then Exodia was gone.

After Thomas recovered he saw Lex unconscious on the floor. He ran over to him and tried to wake him up.

Let your friend rest, if he couldn't beat exodia he can't save the world.

" I don't care if he couldn't beat Exodia, why did you do this to him?!"

Exodia was forbidden because of his incredible power, it was that power that did this to your friend not I

Thomas angrily looked at the figure, he thought about attacking it but quickly decided against it.

Your friend will recover but now it's time for your test, you are the only one left who has the potential to save the world. Look over there to your opponent.

Thomas eyes went to the direction of the figures will, he saw the same opponent that Lex had faced but she was surrounded by a blue glow. Within moments it consumed her. Thomas watched, amazed. When the blue flames were gone he stood on a dueling field on the opposite side set at dark skinned fairy.

This duel will be harder than the duel you friend face so be cautious, you are the only hope left for this planet.

The first person was randomly selected by a device inside the dueling platform. The fairy
was selected to go first. With the darkened room Thomas couldn't distinguish the facial expression of the dark skinned opponent. All that could be seen was the dueling field which emitted a blue glow of tiles.

"I summon the mystic tomato 1400/1100," The fairy hissed

Once again the tomato appeared, it's tongue sticking out of it's odd shape face. Thomas looked to his hand, he wasn't sure what type of deck he was facing, so he decided to go with his usual strategy against unknown decks.

"For my turn I summon Muka Muka, his initial attack is only 600 but his attack increase by 300 for each card in my hand to have a attack power of 2100 and defense of 1800, now Muka Muka attack!'

The rock creature at first appeared to be now more than two feet in width and height, but with a loud hiss erupting from its back it grew tenfold. It crawled over to the Mystic Tomato and clamped it's round claw against the creature, breaking into millions of pieces. The fairies life points dropped from 8000 to 7300

"With the effect of Mystic Tomato I summon Witch's Apprentice who's effect increase dark monsters by 500 points, also raise herself, 1050/500"

A girl dress in blue with red hair holding a broom stick along with two wings attached to her back appeared on the field. Thomas decided to keep his cards in his hand to keep Muka Mukas attack high. Thomas heard a chuckle from his opponent as she drew her card.

"Now I'll summon a second Mystic Tomato in attack mode, and have it launch itself at your Muka Muka,"

The tomato soon designated in the claws of the defender. Thomas had already figure out his opponents plan and couldn't think of a way to stop it with his current hand. He hope that the next card he drew would help him. Her life points dropped from 7300 to 6800

"With the effect once again activated I will summon a second Witch's Apprentice, 1550/500"

"For all your efforts you still come up short of my Muka Muka power," Thomas said still retaining an edge in this duel.

"I play the field card Mystic Plasma Zone to further increase dark monsters attack power by 500 points, I also decrease their defense points by 400, I also lay one card in my magic and trap section and end my turn,"

Thomas viewed his card, his Muka Muka was now at 2400/2100, he glanced at where the card hovered above the blue glowing square. He decide that he must attack, he couldn't let the Witches get powered up anymore.

"Muka Muka attack the witch on the left,"

The rock shaped creature began to crawl towards the apprentice.

"I'll activate my trap card reinforcements to increase the attack of my apprentice by 500 points for this turn, 2550/100"

As the rock approached the apprentice a group of about five soldiers appeared in front of her, Muka Muka shattered as it came in contact with the creatures. Thomas life points drop from 8000 to 7850.

Urg I should saw that coming, she has all those dark monsters pumped up, wait not just her dark monster get that effect, mine get it as well.

"Sense I have yet to summon a creature I will summon Sangan who also gets the same bonuses as your dark monsters, 2500/200, I also set a card in my magic and trap section ending my turn,"

"Your Sangan does get the benefits from my cards, but all I have to do is summon a card with an attack higher than it, And sense I don't want my witch's destroyed by mirror force when I attack I'll switch them to defense mode and I summon Witch of the Black Forest, 2600/800, Attack!"

Huh how'd she know the card I put down was mirror force, this no real point in playing it now I'll just have to trust in my deck.

The blacked robed witch never even approached the Three eyed furball, rather she floated up in the air, a blue glow surrounded her purple hair, As soon as the glow went away Sangan imploded. Thomas life points drop another 100 to 7750.

" Sense Sangan has been sent to the graveyard I get to look for one card in my deck with and attack of 1500 or less, and I chose Time Wizard!'

If I get it right I'm sure she'll won't be able to recover, but if I get it wrong I'm wide open.

" I summon the Time Wizard, and I'll use it effect, Heads!"

A virtual coin spun in the middle of the dark and stormy field, After a few seconds which seemed to be much more to Thomas the coin finally landed. It revealed tails. The time wizard was no more and Thomas life points drop by 250, to 7500.

"To get rid of Mirror force I will use my heavy storm card, Then switch my creatures to attack mode, I will attack your life points directly with all of them, 1550/500 1550/500 2100/1200"

As Mirror Force was sent to the graveyard the field returned to it's blue glow. Thomas life points dropped rapidly from 7500 to 2300. Although Thomas had been at lower life than this before it had never occured with his opponents life point so high. He closed his eyes while taking a deep breath, he drew his card.

I have the heart to win, I must win

He opened his eyes and the card was revealed. He thought quickly as he drew the card. A desperate plan entered his mind.

" I activate Monster Reborn to retrieve my Time Wizard, this time I'll call tails!"

Once again a virtual coin spun, this time it landed in Thomas favor. A portal appeared around the fairies monsters and consumed them, then the portal and the monsters were gone.

"With witches effect I retrieve the Cannon Soldier,"

" Now I will attack with my Time Wizard, 500/400"

The fairies life points dropped from 6800 to 6300. Thomas didn't like leaving his time Wizard open but he didn't have much of a choice.

"For My turn I will summon Cannon Soldier, And have him attack you Time Wizard, the he launch himself at you life points,"

The purple coated machine appeared on the field. It was shaped like a human but made out of parts, a small cannon was at the top of it, it use this to blast the Time Wizard, then the Cannon Soldier imploded cause another 500 damage to Thomas life points which was now at a mere 600.

"For my turn I will summon Gearfried the Iron Knight,1800/1600, attack!"

The heavily clad knight appeared on the field and began a charge at the opponent. Her life points dropped to 4500.

"I'll admit you last much longer than I expect, and though your knight Is strong, it wont be left to defend you pitiful life points for long, I summon La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp,1800/1000 and have him attack your Gearfried,"

The muscular green creature broke into millions of pieces just like it's opponent. Thomas looked at his hand, he tried to find a way out of this predicament. Once again he found that he must trust in his deck. Once again he closed his eyes as he drew the card. He open his eyes and a smile formed on his face.

"I'll play Swords of Revealing Light, along with setting a monster face down."

"Your Hane-Hane is a wise choice, I activate my card Tribute to the Doomed to get rid of it, discard my Curse of Dragon, Ending my turn"

Thomas quickly realized that she didn't put down a creature. He did notice the card in her magic and trap, and trusted his deck to deliver.

"I play Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying your face down card,"

A lighting bolt shattered the card, which ended up being Magic Jammer. Thomas consider for a moment the decided that he must attack while he can.

" I summon Aqua Madoor,1200/2000, Attack!'

A person wearing a painted mask covering the face appeared on the field. It wore a unique green robe. It also had long blue hair and extremely long red nails. The dark fairies life points dropped from 4500 to 3300.

"I set one card face down in my magic and trap and I set a creature,"

Thomas drew a card and realized his must inflict as much damage possible. He knew that allowing his opponent time to act could spell his doom.

" I activate Tribute to the Doomed discarding my Muka Muka to destroy you face down creature,"

Once again a Large mummy appeared on the field, exterminating what turned out to be a Mystic Tomato. He must summon a creature to decrease her life points.

" I play Heavy storm, Then I summon my second Aqua Madoor, both of them attack!"

The heavy storm ended up getting rid of a trap hole. The Thomas watched with a smile at the dropping life points which now showed 900.

"Finally I've been waiting for you to get rid of those swords, because now I May attack with this creature, Jinzo #7 and equip him with Sword of Dark Destruction,900/200, now with it's effect I attack you life points directly!'

The Fairly believed she won this match. Thomas however thought the opposite.

" I discard Kuriboh in order to reduce that damage to 0, now on my turn I tribute a Aqua to Summon my Summon Skull, destroy! "

Thomas smiled as he watched her life points reach 0, Suddenly he was in a blue glowing room. Lex although weary was beside him.

"Congratulations, you have passed the first test. However many more lie ahead, with them though this shall aid you,"

This time they view the glowing figures moving lips. As if from nowhere a golden puzzle appeared in her hand.

"This Is called the Millennium Puzzle, It's said that the great pharaohs spirit exists inside of it, however only the chosen one can communicate with it, it will first happen at only times of great need. When the bond is greater it will be easier to communicate and access the powers of the puzzle. You must go and compete in the real Millennium tournament that will be held at this location."

A envelope appeared in both their hands. They were to shocked to say anything. Thomas now wore the Puzzle around his neck.

"Both of you must go, with the puzzle you'll be able to battle in the shadow realm and reclaim the other items, if you lose the world will be no more than darkness, I can only wish you good luck. Here I believed you must return this to your friend,"

Barrel Dragon appeared in front of Lex. However returning it was the least of his worries right now.
