DUEL OF THE FATES.
CHAPTER 3:Joey VS Kaiba!
By Ninetalesuk.

LOCATION:Outside Londom Dome.
TIMELINE:Friday. 3:20pm.

Yugi, Bakura and Tea sat on the stairs that leads to the main doors of the dome. Kokuwamon and SnowAgumon popped their heads out.

"Can't we go in yet?" SnowAgumon asked.

Yugi shook his head. "Not until Kaiba has arrived."

"Is that him?" Kokuwamon asked, pointing to a British looking limo that is coming towards them.

Tea nodded. "Yeah. Thats him all right."

The limo stopped and a angry looking Seto Kaiba climbed out. "For the last time, I do NOT look like Seth!"

"Ah, come on!" Penguinmon said, walking out of the limo with Mokuba beside him. "You look like each other! Perhapes he is your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great..."

"Say 'great' again and I'll blast you away with Blue Eyes!" Seto growled.

Penguinmon stopped and then. "Great grandfather!"

"Couldn't be. He is ancestor of ours. I don't know much about Seth though, Seto only told me that some woman said he looks like Seth." Mokuba said.

Penguinmon smirked. "Yeah. And I'm the new toothfairy."

"Well, you better do the 'changing the tooths into money' magic, right now!" Seto said, walking up the stairs, followed by a giggling Mokuba and a fuming Penguinmon. Kaiba stopped in front of Yugi and his friends. "Ah, Yugi. Here to watch the duel?"

Yugi nodded. "I hope you won't clean the floor with him, Kaiba. Last time you beat him, he took it so badly, it only took him winning against one of Bandit Keith's men to get his hopes back!"

"I promise you, Yugi. I will make sure Joey will have a good chance of winning. Though, you will know I will have the Blue Eyes with me."

"All 3 of the big blue dragons!" Penguinmon said.

"Yeah. I kinda figure that out." Yugi said.

Kaiba walked towards the doors with Mokuba and Penguinmon beside him. "When Joey arrives, send him in. You can watch from the sidelines."

"Where is Joey anyway?" Bakura asked as the Kaiba brothers and Penguinmon went into the dome.

"Dunno. Do ya think he is still at the hotel?" SnowAgumon asked.

Tea sighed. "I hope not. He has only 40 minutes left before the duel begins."

"I hope Joey will get here soon." Yugi said, sadly.


LOCATION:Room 31, London Hotel.
TIMELINE:3:24pm.

Joey paced the room in seer panic. Tristan and Inumon were sitting at the table, tired.

"Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man." Joey said, stopping and sitting down. "It will be soon 4 o'clock and I'll be dueling Kaiba for sure! I gotta get dressed!"

"First of all, you ARE dressed!" Inumon growled. "And second of all, this a Duel Monster battle! Not a Fashion Show battle!"

Joey stopped and took a deep breath. "Do you guys have faith in me?"

Tristan looked at Joey and nodded. "Of course, buddy. I have faith in you. You can stand up to Kaiba and beat him!"

"Thanks, man!" Joey said, smiling. "What about you, Inumon?"

"What about ME?!" Inumon said, frowning. "I'll tell you what I think after keeping me up at night on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, driving me insane with your babbling and splashed me with ice cream yesterday morning! What I think?! Well....... *YELP!*"

"What you were going to say, Inumon?" Trsitan said, with an evil grin as Inumon yelped with pain. You see, Tristan KICKED Inumon in the shin and you know why.

Inumon glared at Tristan before looking back at Joey. "I *ow* have faith in you too."

"Funny way of having faith in me, right Tris?" Joey said.

"Yeah, well. He is not normal." Tristan said, getting up from his seat and ingoring the glare from Inumon.

"Next flight, I'm gonna stuff YOU in that cat-cage!" Inumon mumbled.

Joey picked his deck up from the table and putted in his pocket. "It is time to duel..."

Tristan opened the apartment door and turned to Joey. "You ready, man?"

"Oh yeah." Joey said. "Can I do one thing before me and Seto go 1-on-1?"

"Erm... sure." Tristan said, confused.

Joey jumped up and grabbed a table leg. "Don't make me do it!!!! Please, please, please!!!!"

Inumon rolled his eyes and walked over to Joey, grabbing his legs and started to pull. "Come on, you chicken. Nothing will happen to you. Just come on!"

In a flash, Joey quickly let go of the table leg, stood up and walked towards the door. "All right, I'm ready! Let's go!"

"Ooookay....." Tristan sighed, sweatdropping. Then, he noticed Inumon was on the floor.

"I wonder if Red Eyes is having the SAME problem as me...." Inumon mumbled.


LOCATION:Outside London Dome.
TIMELINE:3:54pm.

"Here they come!" Yelled Tea as they spotted Joey, Tristan and the coat and hat wearing Inumon. "What took you guys so long?!"

"We got lost." Joey said.

"Thanks to Inumon." Tristan said.

"First, I got kicked today, fell today and got blamed today. I think I'll have revenge today." Inumon mumbled.

"Lets go in." Yugi said. "Kaiba is waiting for you."

Joey gulped. "All right. Here goes 'othing!"


LOCATION:London Dome.
TIMELINE:3:58pm.

The doors opened up as Joey entered the room with Yugi, Tristan, Tea, Bakura and Inumon. Tea and Bakura opened their backpacks up to let SnowAgumon and Kokuwamon out. Yugi and Joey also summoned the Dark Magician and the Red Eyes Black Dragon out before Joey himself walks towards the Duel Monster arena.

"Good luck, Joey!" Tea called out.

"I believe in you!" Yugi shouted out as well.

Joey turned to his friends and smiled. "Thanks, you guys. I'll won't mess up."

The doors on the opposite side of the dome opened up as Seto, Mokuba, Penguinmon and a Blue Eyes White Dragon appeared.

"Ah, Wheeler." Kaiba said. "Ready to duel?"

"I am, Kaiba!" Joey said, putting out his usual grin. "Bring it on!"

"Be careful with him, Seto. Don't break him like you did last time." Mokuba whsipered.

"I won't, little brother." Seto said, smiling as he ruffled Mokuba's hair. "I won't."

Yugi walked up to Joey. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, Yug." Joey said. "I made some small changes to my deck."

"When?" Yugi asked, hoping it wasn't yesterday since Yugi placed some of his cards into Joey's deck. "When did you alter your deck?"

"When Tristan and Inumon left to join you at the London Library." Joey said.

Yugi sighed and smiled. "Good luck!"

"Thanks, Yug." Joey said. "I will not mess up."

"You said that already." Yugi said, laughing. "But, I believe you."

Yugi joined back with Tea and the others while Joey and Seto took their positions at the Duel Monster arena and shuffled their decks.

"Are you ready, Wheeler?" Seto asked, smirking.

"Ready as ever, Kaiba!" Joey said, also smirking.

"All right then. You know what this means, don't you?" Seto said.

"Yeah!" Joey said, balling up a fist. "I know what you mean!"

"ITS TIME TO DUEL!" Both Joey and Seto yelled.


JOEY'S LIFE POINTS
*2000*

KAIBA'S LIFE POINTS
*2000*


Joey and Seto drew 5 cards from their decks and looked at it.

"Here it goes." Tristan said.

"I hate to say it but, go Joey." Inumon mumbled.

"First time you said that." SnowAgumon said.

Inumon glared at SnowAgumon. "Shut up!"

"Whos gonna go first?" Joey asked.

Seto drew a card from his hand and placed it down on the field. "I will. I'm going to summon the Giga-Tech Wolf in attack mode!"

A square on Seto's side of the field glowed as the holographic displayed a wolf in a machine get-up.


*GIGA-TECH WOLF. ATK:1200 DEF:1400*



"Giga-Tech Wolf?" Yugi said, puzzled. "His attack power is 1200. Joey could beat him with a stronger monster. Unless Kaiba has some sort of plan."

"Nice doggy there." Joey said, drawing a card (Fusion) and putted in his hand without looking at it before taking a card out of his hand. "My turn. I will use the Skull Red Bird, in attack mode as well!"

A giant red bird appeared in Joey's field.


*SKULL RED BIRD. ATK:1550 DEF:1200*


"Now, Skull Red Bird! Attack!" Joey yelled as the Skull Red Bird defeated Kaiba's Giga-Tech Wolf.

"Yeah!" Tristan shouted. "Good start, Joey!"


KAIBA'S LIFE POINTS
*1750*


"I must say, Wheeler." Seto said, not fazed after Joey attacked. "I am impressed. Now, its my turn and I think you'll not win again my next monster!" He drew a card from his deck, placed in his hand and took a card from his hand before placing it on the field. "Next monster is the mighty Swordstalker!"

The demon warrior appeared, holding a sword as it appeared at Seto's field.


*SWORDSTALKER. ATK:2000 DEF:1600*


"Oh no!" Joey gasped. "Anything but THAT!"

"Swordstalker! Attack!" Seto yelled as the Swordstalker sliced the SKull Red Bird in half, destroying him.

"And down goes Joey's life points..." SnowAgumon sighed.


JOEY'S LIFE POINTS
*1550*


"Sorry, Wheeler. Looks like my Swordstalker just carved your turkey into nothingness!"

Joey growled and drew his next card and smiled. "Oh yeah?! Well, here is my next monster! Come forth, Flame Swordsman!"

A human warrior dressed in armour that resembles fire held a fire sword as he appeared on Joey's side of the field.

"And with my Flame Swordsman on the field, I'll add this Magic card with him. Salamandra that will raise his attack power by 700!"


*FLAME SWORDSMAN. ATK:18002500 DEF:2300*


"All right, Joey! Kaiba will lose 500 life points!" Tea said.

"Flame Swordsman! Attack!" Joey yelled as his Flame Swordsman slashed the Swordstalker away.


KAIBA'S LIFE POINTS
*1250*


*Good work, Wheeler." Kaiba said. "Good work."

Kokuwamon cheered. "Joey is going to win!"

"Joey must be careful otherwise he will lose if he is not careful." Yugi said.

SnowAgumon blinked. "How come?"

"Kaiba has the Blue Eyes, remember?" Yugi said. "And I hate to see what will happen when he puts them together to summon the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon."

"Be careful, Joey." Bakura mumbled.

"My next move is to summon Judge Man and attach this Magic card called Invigoration that increases him by 400 attack points and loses 200 defence points!" Seto yelled as he placed two cards on the field.

The unstopable Judge Man appeared on the field, grunting as he faced the Flame Swordsman.


*JUDGE MAN. ATK:22002600 DEF:15001100*


"Judge Man! Attack him NOW!" Kaiba yelled as the Judge Man walked over and destroyed the Flame Swordsman, much to Joey's loss.

"Oh man!" Joey moaned!

"This is terrible!" Tea gasped.

"Don't worry." Yugi said. "Thanks to the Salamandra card, Joey will only lose 100 so, he is still in the lead."


JOEY'S LIFE POINTS
*1450*


Joey drew a card, smiled, looked at his hand and looked at Kaiba. "All right, Kaiba! Kiss your Judge Man goodbye! First I place the Red Eyes Black Dragon in attack mode!"

Joey's powerful dragon appeared on the field, roaring.

The REAL Red Eyes Black Dragon smiled. "Ah! A new friend."

"Get a job." Inumon mumbled.

"And then, I'll use a new Magic card. De-Spell!"

"What?!" Seto gasped. "De-Spell?!"

"Yep! Say goodbye to the Invigoration card!" Joey smirked.


*RED EYES BLACK DRAGON. ATK:2400 DEF:2000*

*JUDGE MAN. ATK:26002200 DEF:11001500*


"And also, as I said before, say goodbye to your Judge Man!" Joey yelled as the Red Eyes fired his attack, defeating the Judge Man.

Seto cursed under his breath. "Should have seen that coming..."

"Now, your turn, man, since you are losing." Joey smirked.


KAIBA'S LIFE POINTS
*1050*


Kaiba drew a card and smirked. "Oh yeah? Think again! Guess who is next?"

Joey took a quick think before he gulped. "BEWD?"

"In other words." Seto said, smiling. "Come forth! Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

The mighty blue dragon appeared on the field.

The REAL Blue Eyes smiled. "Ah, a new friend."

"Are you Red Eyes's brother or something?" Penguinmon asked.


*BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON. ATK:3000 DEF:2500*


"Oh no!!! I'm screwed!" Joey said, gulping.

Kaiba held a finger up. "Since I'm in a good mood, I'll give you a chance. I will skip this turn and watch you how you can deal with this situation."

Joey didn't know what to say except. "Thank you." He drew a card and gasped before looking at his and again and gasped.

The card he drew was Summoned SKull and he just noticed the Fusion card.

Joey whispered so no one can hear him. "What the...? Where did this Summoned Skull card come from and I just notice this Fusion card. When did they appear? Did putted them in my deck? When? Never mind! Thanks you, Yug, I have a new plan to WIN!"

"Well?" Seto asked. "Do you have any ideas yet?"

"I sure do!" Joey said, smiling at Yugi and giving him a wink.

Yugi smiled. "Joey's got them." He thought. "Go for it, my friend."

"First, I will place the Summoned Skull!!!" Joey yelled.


*SUMMONED SKULL. ATK:2500 DEF:1200*


"What?!" Seto gasped.

"Next, I will use this Fusion card to combined the Red Eyes Black Dragon and Summoned Skull to create the Black Skull Dragon!!!"

Seto groaned as he watched the Red Eyes Black Dragon and the Summoned Skull combined together to created a stronger and meaner monster. "Not my luck!"

"And, I'll add him this Magic card." Joey said as he placed a Magic card on the field. "My new Magic card, Dragon Treasure!"

"All right, Joey!" Tristan yelled.

"This is getting exciting." Inumon said.

Dark Magician nodded. "Yes, isn't so?"


*BLACK SKULL DRAGON. ATK:32003500 DEF:25002800*


"And now! Say goodbye to Blue Eyes!" Joey yelled. "Attack!"

The Black Skull Dragon roared as he fired a fireball and destroyed the Blue Eyes.

"Yeah, baby! Yeah!" Joey cheered.

"Hes winning! He is winning!" Tea cheered.

"Go, Joey!" Yugi shouted.


KAIBA'S LIFE POINTS.
*550*

JOEY'S LIFE POINTS.
*1450*


"Man, this is great!" Joey said. "With Black Skull Dragon on my field, I will win this game!"

"Not exactly." Kaiba said as he looked at his hand. He drew a card and smiled. "I have 6 cards that I can use in one turn that will defeat your Black Skull Dragon."

"Say wha...?" Joey gasped.

"Let me show you." Seto said, smiling.

"Whats he up to?" Penguinmon asked.

"Knowing him, a good plan that will make him win for sure." Mokuba said.

Blue Eyes White Dragon shrugged. "What else is new."

"First of all, I summon the Lord of Dragon!" Seto yelled. With that, a human dressed in some sort of a dragon uniform took place in Kaiba's holographic field.


*LORD OF DRAGON. ATK:1200 DEF:1100*


"Lord of Dragon?" Kokuwamon said, confused. "What is going on here?"

"Lord of Dragon is the ruler of all Dragon monsters. With him there, no Magic cards, Trap cards or any other effects cann't be used on a Dragon monster." Bakura said. "But, why IS Kaiba brining the Lord of Dragon out?"

"Because there is a special Magic card that will help Kaiba bring out the remaining two Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Yugi said, grimly.

"Wha...?" Tea gasped.

"That is right, Yugi." Seto said, holding a card in the air. "This is the one! The Flute of Summoning Dragon!"

"The Flute of what?" Inumon asked.

"The Flute of Summoning Dragon is a special card that will allow me to play two Dragon-type monsters on the field when I have the Lord of Dragon faced up." Kaiba explained. "And with this card, I summon my 2 other Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

Joey smirked when he saw Seto's two other Blue Eyes appearing on his field. But, his smirk vanished when he saw Kaiba placing another Magic card down.

"And I will use Reborn the Monster to bring back my third Blue Eyes!" Kaiba yelled as the Blue Eyes that Joey destroyed came back to life.


*BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON (x3). ATK:3000 DEF:2500*


"Big deal." Joey said, regaining his smirk. "They are still at 3000 attack points. I will blow two of them away and win this duel!"

"No, wait, Joey!" Yugi yelled out. "He said he will use 6 cards! He used 5 of them so, I can figure out what the sixth one can be!"

"What will that be, Yug?" Joey asked as he looked at Kaiba.

Kaiba smirked and held up a card that made Joey's face go pale. "Fusion!"

"Oh no!!!!" Joey yelled. "That means..."

"I will now fuse my 3 Blue Eyes White Dragon to form, BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!" Kaiba yelled out as his 3 blue dragons fused together to create a huge 3-headed dragon that roared as he was completed in his most powerful form EVER!

"I love my Mega form." Blue Eyes said, sighing.

"Have you been drinking? Again?" Penguinmon asked, annoyed.

Inumon turned to Red Eyes. "What about you? Do you drink?"

"Ha ha." Red Eyes said, dryly.


*BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON. ATK:4500 DEF:3800*


"Erm, you were wrong, Joey." Tristan said. "Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon's defence points wasn't 3500. It was 3800."

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE DEFENCE! ITS THE ATTACK THAT WORRIES ME!!!" Joey yelled.

"Boy, is he in a lot of stress." SnowAgumon said.

"No wonder. His Black Skull Dragon is DEAD!" Kokuwamon said.

"That is correct." Seto said, smiling. "And I should have said 7 cards."

"7 cards?!" Joey gasped. "What is your 7th card?!"

Kaiba's hand only had 2 cards left. Kaiba took one of them and showed it to Joey. "A card you used before."

"A De-Spell?!" Joey gasped.

"Correct. And Dragon Treasure is no more." Kaiba smiled.

Joey groaned as he watched the attack and defence powers reverting to their normal stats.


*BLACK SKULL DRAGON. ATK:35003200. DEF:28002500*


"And now, the final attack!" Seto cried. "Attack Ultimate Dragon!"

"NO!!!" Joey yelled as he watched his Black Skull Dragon destroyed.

"Bye bye, brother...." Red Eyes said, sadly.

Inumon glared at Red Eyes. "You are like your master. NUTS!"

Tea shook her head, sadly. "Poor Joey. He was doing so well."

"It's not over!" Yugi yelled. "Joey, you are still in the game!"

"Huh?" Joey said, confused. He looked at his Life-Points score and gasped.


KAIBA'S LIFE POINTS.
*550*

JOEY'S LIFE POINTS.
*150*


"Hes right..." Joey mumbled. Then, he looked at the field. Right now, he was monsterless while Kaiba has the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon and the Lord of Dragons on his field.

"Maybe if I have a monster that has 600 attack points higher than Lord of Dragon, I could win! The only best combination is the Baby Dragon and the Time Wizard to summon Thousand Dragon..." Joey thought. "But, I don't have both of those cards in my hand and even if I do, it will take two turns to summon them both and Kaiba will win."

"And even if I summon them both, there is a possiblity that if the hand points to the skull on the Time Wizard's staff, I will loose." Joey gasped. "Oh man! I guess this is it. Unless my deck has a card that will help me win this duel."

"Ready to give up, Wheeler?" Seto asked. "I must admit, you were pretty good, coming this far. The only one to come this far was Yugi. And I don't think Pegasus counts since he cheated with that Millenium Eye of his."

"Let me draw one last card." Joey said, reaching for his deck. "If this card doesn't turn the tide, then I'll give up the fight."

"All right." Kaiba said. "Draw your last card."

Joey's hand shook as he drew another card. He shut his eyes tightly and opened them slowly to see what he drew. His eyes widened when he saw what he draw. "It... can't be..."

"Well?" Kaiba asked. "Will this card help you?"

Joey's face turned into a grin as he slams it onto his field. "Yeah, this card WILL! It is a Magic card called Brain Control!"

"What?!" Seto gasped.

Yugi smiled. "All right, Joey! He drew the Brain Control card! It will take over the most strongest monster the opponent has on his field for one turn!"

"That means Ultimate Dragon is under Joey's control!" Tristan said.

"Thats right!" Joey said as Kaiba's Ultimate Dragon flew to his side of the field. "And with him on my side! Its time for the Lord of Dragon to die!"

Kaiba said nothing. He looked at the last card in his head and sighed. "Go ahead, Wheeler. You deserve to win."

"Thanks, Kaiba! Go, Ultimate Dragon! Kill the Lord of Dragon!"

A blinding flash as the Ultimate Dragon destroyed the Lord of Dragon in one blast, allowing Joey to win the duel!


JOEY'S LIFE POINTS

KAIBA'S LIFE POINTS
*0*


"All right!!!" Tea shouted as she danced around the room with SnowAgumon in her arms. "Joey won! Joey won!! YAY!"

"Tea, STOP!" SnowAgumon yelled. "I'm gonna be sick!!!"

Yugi ran up to Joey. "Congradulations, Joey! You won!"

"I did, didn't I?" Joey said, smiling.

"Hey, Joey." Seto said, and made Joey jumped when he saw Seto smiling. "Good job. Just remember not to challange me a lot of times. Got that?"

"Got it, Kaiba." Joey said, giving him a thumbs up.

"All right, everyone!" The Dark Magician said. "Let's go back to the hotel."

As Yugi transferred his Dark Magician back into his card, Joey smiled as he heard his Red Eyes said. "Good work, master" before saying thank you and returning him into his card.


LOCATION:Outside London Dome.

"Here you are, Yug." Joey said as he held out a few cards to Yugi. "I think these belongs to you, buddy of mine."

Yugi smiled as he took the cards out of Joey's hand. "Thank you, Joey. And congradulations of your greatest win."

"Thanks, Yug." Joey said. "Now I can finally relax."

"Finally!" Both Tristan and Inumon said, together and sighing.

Everyone laughed at that while Tristan and Inumon both groaned.

"Come on, you lot." Tea said. "Let's go and find us a place to eat to celebrate Joey's biggest win EVER!"

"Great idea, Tea." Bakura said.

"While we are there. I have something to tell Tristan." Inumon said.

"Whats that?" Tristan asked.

"Guess who is going to be in that cat-cage when we go back to Japan." Inumon said, giving Tristan a evil grin.

The penny drops on Tristan. "Not me! NO!!!!!!!"

Joey laughed and looked at Yugi. "Are we gonna enjoy our rest, Yug now that my crisis is over?"

"Yeah." Yugi said, nodding. "We are all going to enjoy our rest.... including the Kaiba brothers." He said before starting to walk away. "Come on, let's go."

Everyone walked with SnowAgumon and Kokuwamon in Tea and Bakura's backpack and the arguement between Tristan and Inumon, life is back to normal.

LOCATION:Inside Kaiba's Limo.

Seto sighed as he sat down in the back seat of the limo with Mokuba and Penguinmon as the limo took off. His Blue Eyes was back in his trademark card.

Everyone was silent until Mokuba said to Seto. "I know you could have won, Seto."

"Hm?" Said Seto.

"I saw you put two cards in your deck yesterday, Seto. And I figured out what it was." Mokuba said, looking towards his big brother.

"What are you talking about, kid?" Penguinmon asked.

"That card you had in your hand before Joey won. Was it a De-Spell?" Mokuba asked.

"De-Spell?!" Penguinmon said, shocked. "He used it already on that Dragon Treasure card!"

"Yeah but, you CAN carry the same cards up to 3 in your deck like the Blue Eyes. I know he had two De-Spells in his deck." Mokuba said. "Right, big brother?"

Seto smiled and ruffled Mokuba's hair. "Can't hide things away from you, can't I, Mokuba?" He sighed and looked out of the window. "Yeah, I had another De-Spell in my hand."

"You could have used that De-Spell to free Ultimate Dragon from that Brain Control card but, you didn't. How come?" Mokuba asked.

"I wanted to give Joey a chance to win against me so, I let him." Seto said. "And yet, I felt good about it. I guess giving Joey the chance to win against me felt good enough for me."

"And you did." Mokuba said.

"I guess you won't do this often, huh?" Penguinmon asked.

Seto shook his head. "No way. This is one time and one time only. If anyone challanges me, they will be crushed."

"Your just like Seth." Penguinmon said, sniggering.

"Better set a funeral for your partner, Mokuba." Seto said.

"Done." Mokuba said, laughing.


THE END.
