CHAPTER 6

SOLO DUELIST PART II
DAN: 3200

YUGI: 5600

"I shall now reveal what my ritual monsters are," Dan said as soon as after he drew a new card

He holds up his two cards, "and I have enough monsters in my hand to use it. Since this duel will be coming to an end"

"Wrong Dan, this duel is just getting started" Said Yugi

"You really think so huh? Well then, I shall play my ritual card, BLACK MAGIC RITUAL"

"What?" Yugi knows that card, he owns that card

"Hey, what's the Black Magic Ritual card?" Tristan asks

"Don't you know? It's what Yugi uses to summon Magician of Black Chaos." Tea answers

"Oh. Yugi's in trouble isn't he?"

"Big time trouble" Joey went

"I then shall sacrifice my two monster cards to equal the number of levels required for the sacrifice, and summon my ultimate monster: Magician of Black Chaos"

The ritual card appears, and lays down flat facing up, as a stand rises up, and smoke pours out from the top. Lightning bolts shoots out from the stand, as the Magician of Black Chaos slowly rises from his position, freed. (2800/2600)

"Oh no" Yugi watches as the Yami field rises the Magician of Black Chaos's power (3000/2800)

"I'll then activate his special hidden ability" Dan went

"Hidden ability?" Yugi worriedly asks

"Don't tell me you don't know that some monsters have their own special abilities in this tournament Yugi?"

"I know that, but what hidden ability does the Magician of Black Chaos hold?"

"Simple, Magician of Black Chaos, eliminate the Dark Magician from the field" Dan orders.

The Magician of Black Chaos raises its staff, collecting dark energies, and uses it to blast the Dark Magician away

"His hidden powers is to destroy all monsters of both sides on the field, and take half of their combined attack power and deal that amount of damages to their owners life points."

DAN: 3200

YUGI: 4250

"Luckily for you all ritual monsters that just been summoned cannot attack on the same turn they've been summoned in, so I'll just end my turn, after equipping my Magician of Black Chaos with my Sword of Deep-Seated"

The sword appears replacing the staff as a weapon, as the magician looks eager to use it (3500/3300)

There must be a way to defeat his Magician of Black Chaos, Yugi thinks to himself

Yugi draws a new card, and plays it face down

"I play a card face down, and then I'll play a monster in defense mode"

The two cards appears

Dan draws another card, then his Sword of Deep-Seated returns back to his hand as Yugi's Life Force Sword's effects has finally worn off

"I equip my Magician of Black Chaos with another Sword of Deep-Seated" Dan announces

The Magician of Black Chaos grows stronger (4000/3800)

"Then I will lay one card face down in play" Dan announces again

The card appears face down

"Magician of Black Chaos, attack now" Dan orders

The magician charges up his attack

"You've activated my trap card with your attack" Yugi said, activating his trap card: Mirror Force

Then the magician attacks

"I'll activate my trap card then" Dan went

Then an old man appears, casts a spell to remove Yugi's mirror, so the magicians attack can carry on through, destroying the defending Mystical Elf

"What?" Yugi is surprised

"That was Solemn Judgment, it cuts my life points in half, but it also counters any effect that you've activated"

DAN: 1600

YUGI: 4250

Yugi draws his next card, Catapult Turtle

Hm, I wonder if I could use this later on went I gain control over the Magician of Black Chaos, but I can't without my Brain Control card

"I play another monster in defense mode" Yugi said

"Looks like Yugi's on the defense if he doesn't find a way past Dan." Tea worriedly went

Dan plays his freshly drawn card

"I play my second Stop Defense card"

Yugi jumps in surprised and worriedness, as his Griffer switches into attack mode

"Attack, Magician of Black Chaos" Dan orders

Magician of Black Chaos blast the Griffer away, seriously hurting Yugi's life points

DAN: 1600

YUGI: 1450

Yugi begins his next turn, drawing his Kuribo

Yugi searches his hand, he has Multiply in his hand

"Let us see how this'll turn out" Yugi says, grinning

"Huh?" Dan gets a little worried

"I shall build the ultimate defense, it worked once before, and it'll work again" Yugi announces

"Huh? The Kuribo's" Kaiba guesses, remembering the time when he first introduced the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to Yugi, and Yugi uses his most weakest monsters for the ultimate defense that he couldn't break through

Kuribo appears on the field (300/200), since it's a fiend, it gains the bonus from Yami (500/400)

Dan just stares at, curious on how could a little kids stuffed toy monster could help defend Yugi. Only thing that thing is useful for that it can deal direct damages, but only by fifty-points.

"How the heck can you build the ultimate defense with a pathetic little monster like that?" Dan asks curious

"Easy, by play my magic card: Multiply"

"Multiply" Dan never heard of that card, but that's what worries him

"Yeah Yug, kick his butt with that thing" Joey cheers aloud

Then suddenly the Kuriboh starts to grow, as it suddenly became two, then into four, then eight, sixteen, thirty-two, doubles every couple of seconds

Dan becomes worried, and furious at the same time

"I end my turn, try and get past my: pathetic little monster, or should I say, pathetic little monsters" Yugi said, smiling

"Blast you Yugi" Dan curses aloud. I heard he was good, I didn't know this good. He really knows his stuff, not to mention his own deck

Dan is a very tough competitor, I just hope this'll work, Yugi thinks to himself

It will work Yugi, said the ever confident Yami

Dan immediately began his turn, "I equip my Magician of Black Chaos with my final Sword of Deep-Seated"

The third sword appears on the Magician of Black Chaos back (4500/4300)

"Attack now" Dan commands

The Magician of Black Chaos charges up his ultimate attack, and blasts the Kuribos into dust, with lights flashing in all over the room

When the light clears, the holograms produces the smoke

"Did that do it?" Dan thought aloud

Just before the smoke clears, the Kuribos continues to multiply

"No" Dan becomes so shocked, he nearly starting to cowardly stepping back that would've made him fall off the stage

Yugi gives a little laughter, "sorry, all of my Kuribohs are in defense mode, and if you want to hurt my life points any further, you have to get past each of my Kuribohs"

"Fine then, before I end my turn, I'll play a magic card: Ookazi"

"Ookazi?" Yugi heard of that card

Suddenly, Yugi is engulfed in flames, as it effects his life points, dealing a total of eight-hundred direct damages

DAN: 1600

YUGI: 650

"That really hurt him" Tristan went

"This is starting to get very interesting" Kaiba said

Yugi starts his next turn as the Kuriboh continues to multiply

Yugi draws a Monster Reborn.

Yugi estimates, that if he plays another monster in defense mode, then Dan may ended up having a third Stop Defense in his hand, and uses it to win. With Multiply and Kuribohs in play, he's safe

"I end my turn without playing anything"

Dan draws another card, then hesitates

Thinking, wondering what to do about his freshly drawn card

This card should do it, Dan thinks to himself

"I play a trap card face down," Dan announces

Did he say a trap card? Yugi asks thoughtfully

The card appears

"Magician of Black Chaos, attack now" Dan commands

The Magician follows its commands

"Again?" Yuig confidently asks

"Yes again, and this time I'll activate my trap card: Reinforcements"

"Oh no" Yugi second guesses what'll happen when that card has been activated

Then suddenly what was one Magician of Black Chaos, turns into five Magicians of Black Chaos (5000/4300)

Then all five blasts the Kuribohs away, Yugi grasping as the attack nearly drove him back, and again another flash of light appears

After the sound of the explosion faded, along with the light, all that is left are the five Magicians of Black Chaos, returning back to one, and a very big debree of smoke in front of Yugi, covering all of the Kuribohs

The room fell into dead silence, watching the suspense, where only thing that is making sounds, is someone at the drinking fountain, forgetting he's still holding onto the button

The debree is starting to clear up, not even the announcer is making a sound, Kaiba is just entertained from the duel, as his little brother Mocuba is drawn to it

Tea has her fingers cross, hoping that the Kuribohs are still okay, as Tristan, Joey and Mai watches suspensefully

Joey's eyes where tight together, and glued to the stage. Man, my eyes haven't been this intense since I saw that porn movie that one time, Joey thought to himself (Japanese episode 2 of the series, or at least issue 2 of its comic book series)

Finally the debreeh has cleared away, and so did the Kuribohs

"They're gone" Tea is desperately worried now

"They're gone, and not long until I finish you off" Dan said

Yugi quietly draws his next card, "this has been a grand and honorable duel Dan. I salute you for your determination"

"Thanks, you too"

"But this duel shall end right here" Yugi said

Yugi then plays his magic card, that a black hole appears above the stage

"What? Dark Hole?" Dan worriedly went

"That's right, Dark Hole" Yugi said

Then the Magician of Black Chaos gets sucked into the vortex, then closes

"That's not all," Yugi said. I was saving my Catapult Turtle so I can use with your Magician of Black Chaos after I've resurrected it, but now since you've left yourself completely open, I'll just resurrect your Magician of Black Chaos, and attack you dead on"

The jewel from the Monster Reborn card appears, making an image of the Magician of Black Chaos, with Yami still in play (3000/2800)

"Sorry, I don't have any monsters in my hand that could finish you off this turn," Yugi mentions. "Attack now Magician of Black Chaos"

Dan looks up, seeing his own monster, attack his own master, whipping him out with his remaining life points

DAN: 0

YUGI: 650

"It's over, and I've won"

Yugi's friends celebrates, as the pharaoh retires back into the millennium puzzle

Dan is on his knees, couldn't believe what has just happen. He has never lost a whole lot of duels, but of all the times he has lost, he never suffered this badly or this close.

Yugi walks up to Dan, "great duel" Then Yugi holds out his hand to shake

Dan looks up at the midget Yugi, and accepts the shake while he remains on his knees

Everyone in the entire room (but Kaiba) applause for the spectacular show they both put up

The announcer who finally collected himself then said, "now that the preliminary matches are over, let us chow down on some food, and I'll dismiss you all by groups and the tournament will begin when we launch fireworks into the sky

Yugi walks gladly towards his table to where his friends awaits for him to congratulate, as Dan walks towards his table, sharing it with strangers

I hope we'll meet again Dan, Yugi thought to himself
That was a great duel, wasn't it? Now that the preliminary matches are over, now the tournament will begin, on the next chapter
Next Chapter

Joey wants to collect some star chips to stay ahead of Kaiba, and his next opponent is, Weevil Underwood, who now knows the ultimate secret, that's stronger then the Ultimate Bug, that only exist in this tournament

Next Time: The Thousand Bug
