A dueling arena slowly rose to the surface of the earth and Yugi
climbed onto the broad surface that lifted him up to his field. There was a
whirring, high-pitch sound as both players' life points accumulated to
2000. "Get ready to lose, little Yugi! For now, without Tea to cheer you
on, you're helpless!" Bakura muttered. "You will not take my friends and
get away with it, Bakura! Prepare to be vanquished, old friend!" Yami
cried. Tristan filled in Tea's empty spot and shouted "You can do it, Yugi!
Remember, even though she's not here, Tea is rooting for you!" "Yeah, wipe
that stupid grin off Bakura's stupid face!" Joey chimed in. "Enough! Are
you going to get all sweet? If so, just tell me, because I just got my
fillings in, and I don't need any more sweets," Bakura cut off. "Let's
duel!" Both duelists took five cards in their hands and glanced at them.
Yami smiled slightly and his eyes lit up in satisfaction. Bakura seemed
just as pleased; his eyes were glowing and he threw back his head and
chuckled. "I'll go first, Yugi. And for my first brilliant move, I play two
cards face down. Your turn!" Yami grinned. "And I'll lay one card face down
and play Beaver Swordsman in attack mode. Go! Attack his two face-down
cards, now!" he shouted. "I'm afraid that you can't destroy either of them,
for you have just activated my trap card, Mirror Force!" Bakura replied.
"Don't be too sure, Bakura, for I activate Remove Trap! Your trap card is
destroyed," Yugi said calmly. "You may have destroyed my cards now, but
this is just the beginning!" Yugi's opponent laughed as his life points
decreased to 1500. "Arrgh! I can't do this! No, please spirit, please!
Carry on your own, please don't make me do this! I can't!" Bakura suddenly
screamed. "No. You are my slave now and you shall forever be!" Bakura
answered himself. Joey was bewildered, "What's going on? He's possessed!
AAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tristan slapped him, "No, you dofus! He has a
Millennium Item. He's arguing with its spirit!" "Oh." Yugi straightened.
"Leave my friend alone, spirit of the Millennium Ring! He doesn't deserve
your cruelty!" Unexpectedly, Bakura threw himself on his playing field in
front of him. "You will duel!" he said. "Please, leave me alone!" Bakura
screamed at himself. An invisible hand seemed to come down upon Bakura and
punched him severely. He gasped for air and finally regained his evil
stature after a few minutes of foaming at the mouth. "We shall continue!"
he snapped at Yugi. "Right," Yami replied. Both players drew a few more new
cards. "I play Summoned Skull, in attack mode!" Yugi shouted. "Go! Attack
with Lightning Strike. Destroy some of his life points!" Summoned Skull
crossed it arms and a ball of lightning formed in his hands which he sent
directly to Bakura's life points, but Bakura only laughed. "Soon, your life
points will be vanquished Yugi, and you along with it! This is only a
temporary dilemma. For now, I play Change of Heart! Go! Capture Summoned
Skull and bring him to me!" It was overcome by the temptation to join
Bakura and slowly walked over to his side of the dueling field. "Now!
Attack Yugi's life points directly with Lightning Strike!" Yugi's life
points dropped to 1500, but he was completely unfazed. "Bakura, I have true
friendship. With that, I can't lose!" he cried. *I'm soooooo sorry I didn't
write for a while. For some reason, Fan Fiction wasn't letting me upload
stories, and I was doing everything right! Grr. Oh well! Please R&R!*
