CHAPTER 4
PRELIMINARY MATCHES PART II
KAIBA: 5900
JOEY: 5800
The duel between Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler continues
Kabia is winning by 100 points, with no cards on the field
Joey only has his Flame Swordsman on the field (1800/1600) and just ended his turn
"I shall play one card face down," Kaiba announces, "and I'll then play my Saggi the Dark Clown in defense mode"
The dark clown known as Saggi appears, laughing and all, floating in the air (600/1500)
I wonder if that card was the Crush Card Virus card that he used on Yugi one time, Joey thinks to himself
"I play my Axe Raider in attack mode" Joey announces
The axe raider appears, ready for battle
"And I end my turn without attacking" Joey announces again
It's now Kaibas turn
"I shall play my La Jinn, the Mystical Genie of the Lamp in attack mode," Kaiba says
The evil genie appears (1800/1000)
"I discovered some of the new rules to this tournament," Kaiba went. "Now lets see if you can too. La Jinn, destroy that Axe Raider"
The genie charges up its spell, and blasts the Axe Raider away
KAIBA: 5900
JOEY: 5700
"Lets see if I can, alright then. I play one card face down, and I also play my Panther Warrior in attack mode"
"Well now," Kaiba went. "I guess I'll demonstrate the powers hidden within these cards just so you know how this thing works. First, I'll lay one card face down, then a monster face down in defense mode"
The two cards appear face down, Joey can't identify what they are
"Alright, then I'll offer both of my monsters, using them as a tribute for my ultimate dragon, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon"
Both the Flame Swordsman and the Panther Warrior gets sucked into the Red- Eyes Black Dragon card that appears behind then, and then the Red-Eyes Black Dragon appears (2400/2000)
"Inferno Fire Blast" Joey orders
The dragon casts its attack on the face down card, revealing it to be the Trap Master card, destroying it
"What the.?"
"That was my Trap Master card, now your trap in play is destroyed"
Joeys only face down card is the Trap Hole card that he was saving for the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, or at least its ultimate form
"Now I shall switch my Saggi into attack mode," Kaiba says
Then Saggi when from floating object, into just plain standing
"Then I play my Battle Ox in attack mode" Kaiba went
The Battle Ox appears, snarling and everything
"This doesn't look good for Joey," Yugi estimated. "What has Kaiba already discovered about the cards hidden powers?"
Kaiba continues, "then I'll activate my magic card, Polymerization"
Then the Polymerization appears, then Kaiba quickly scans three cards, all three holographic images appears on the field: Blue-Eyes White Dragons
"Oh no," Joey knows what's next
Then the Polymerization card spits out, the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800)
"Ultra Sonic Blast," Kaiba orders
The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon charges up its attack, aiming for the Red- Eyes Black Dragon
I knew I shouldn't aimed for that card, Joey thought. Hey wait.
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragons attack power increased to 5000 according to the scouter
"How did that happened?"
Then the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon blasts the Red-Eyes Black Dragon away, nearly blinding Joey, as well as everyone else in the room
KAIBA: 5900
JOEY: 3100
"How did that dragons attack power increased?" Joey is stunned
"By.typical advantage." Kaiba went. "Battle Ox, La Jinn, finish him off."
Both monsters steps forward, as Saggi stays back.
The two approaching monsters approach the middle, and casts their attack on Joeys life points directly, whipping Joey's life points out
KAIBA: 5900
JOEY: 0
"I can't believe I lost to that jerk again," Joey went, falling to his knees
"Ha, you were lucky that we've wagered only one star chip, or you'll be packing right about now. Stay down there, stay down like the pathetic dog you're always will be."
Joey became so enraged that he just wants to get up, and bash Kaiba to the ground
"JOEY," Tea yells out, she must've read his thoughts, so Joey calms himself down Kaiba walks off the stage with his prized star chip
All sorts of duelist starts talking
"Wow, that guys good"
"I'm going home, I wont stand a chance against that guy"
"He has three Blue-Eyes White Dragons?"
"Yeah, I heard only four has been made, I wonder who has the forth"
"How could he play his Battle Ox and fuse all three of those dragons together in the same turn?"
Kaiba finally reaches his table where Mocuba awaits for him
"Great job brother" Mocuba congratulated
"Joey never stood a chance, and will never beat me"
"But it seamed that he got you at some point"
"Yes, I had to admit it, but I will never loose to that amateur"
Joey walks off the stage, walking towards the table with his head down, in shame
"It's a good thing you still have one star chip left," Tea went
"Yeah, otherwise they'll forfeit you from the tournament" Tristan mentions
Joey took both of his hands, and smashes them on the table, silencing everyone that heard it around them
Joey then sits down in his chair
"Well that was an exciting duel, now let us watch the second preliminary match."
Later during the second preliminary match, it shows that the two duelist are both amateurs
Yugi turns away from the duel even though it seams interesting, seeing that Tristan and Teas eyes are glued to the duel
One of the duelists name is Shouhang from China
Yugi looks over to Joey whose suppose to be sitting next to him, seeing that he's not there anymore.
Yugi gets up, leaving Tea and Tristan be, and left to look for Joey.
After sometime searching, Yugi finds Joey sitting outside of the building, looking at the sky from on top of someone else's car
"Joey, what are you doing up there?"
Joey takes out his only copy of the official rules, "I looked everywhere in this stupid book, and I just couldn't find anything that explains how Kaiba can play his Battle Ox, and fuse to get his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragons from all three of this Blue-Eyes all in the same turn. And not to mention when that dragon attacked, my scouter read that its attack power increased by five-hundred points"
"Maybe it's from the house rules for this tournament. Kaiba did say something of some kind of typical advantage, so that must mean that dark attributes are weak against light attributes. Your Red-Eyes Black Dragon is a dark attribute, and his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is a light attribute."
"But what about when he fused his dragons together, after he played his Battle Ox, isn't that against the rules?"
"Yes, I even checked, you can't do that, it's not part of the house rules either" Yugi went
"Then how did he do it?"
Yugi starts thinking, "maybe it has something to do with his genie"
"Huh?"
"La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp is a spellcaster, maybe he had some hidden powers that allowed Kaiba to use his Polymerization on his Blue-Eyes White Dragons"
"You really think so?"
"Possibly"
Joey lays back onto the car, relaxed and everything
"Come up and join me Yug"
Yugi doesn't even feel comfortable about being with Joey while he's laying on someone else's car
"I think I'll pass"
"Ah, I get it"
Joey rolls off the car, landing on his feet in front of Yugi
"Come on Yug, they're going to have is only three matches before they even start serving lunch and then send us on out. Plus that match seams it's going to last pretty long."
Yugi checks his watch; it's almost eleven in the morning
"So how are we start figuring these new rules out?" Joey went
"Great idea"
"Yeah?"
"Then let us have a quick duel."
Yugi reveals his gear
"Huh?"
"We'll figure out the typical advantages, and maybe even some of the hidden powers, before the tournament actually begins"
Yugi and Joey set their gears up
"Alright, send out your Red-Eyes Black Dragon"
"Alright, I choose (searches through deck) my Axe Raider first, and I'll play my Masaki later"
The Axe Raider appears
"I choose my Mystical Elf" Yugi went after searching his deck
The Mystical Elf appears in attack mode
Yugi thinks, since Mystical Elf's a light attribute, this should work the way I thought it would
"Now I play my Masaki"
Masaki appears next to the Axe Raider
"I skip my turn"
"I'll offer both of my monsters for my Red-Eyes Black Dragons
The dragon appears, and immediately blasts the Mystical Elf away, Yugi seeing that the dragons attack increases to 2900, instead of the Mystical Elf increasing, but it remains the same
"That was different" Joey also notices
"Maybe, both dark and light are weak against each other, it's who ever is attacking gains the bonus." Yugi estimates.
Yugi plays his Celtic Guardian
"Play your Flame Swordsman"
"Alright"
Joey offers his Red-Eyes Black Dragon for the Flame Swordsman
Then yugi offers his Celtic Guardian for the Catapult Turtle
"Catapult Turtle, attack"
Catapult Turtle shoots out a stream of water, hitting the Flame Swordsman
The Catapults attack increases to 1500, but the Flame Swordsman attack remains the same, and it destroys the Catapult Turtle, dealing three- hundred more damages to Yugis life points
"I think I got it, the advantage is that the stronger monster gain five- hundred bonus points"
"That makes sense"
"HEY GUYS" It was Tristan
Both Yugi and Joey look at Tristan
"YUGI, THE MATCH IS OVER, YOU'RE IN THE LAST ONE"
"BE RIGHT THERE" Yugi turns back to Joey, "I'll do some experimenting while I duel"
"Alright, lets head back then"
Both Joey and Yugi then rushes back to the building
What other Hidden Powers are in the cards?
Can Yugi and his friends discover and master them all?
Next Chapter: Solo Duelist
In the final Preliminary Match, Yugi must face a new opponent, that will end up as one of his toughest rivals, an American who plays only one monster, with endless equip cards that can't be destroyed easily. This duel will guarantee to be intense
