Chapter 17
Ichizu quit her duel with Kaiba before it even started. Why everyone else was shocked, Joey knew it was because Ichizu had faith in Joey.
"I came to defeat the darkness in Maliik myself at first, but now I see that it isn't my place to do so"thought Ichizu.
"So now what?"asked Joey.
"Yes, who's fighting who in the next round"asked Yami Bakura.
"It's simple:We're going to have a 4 way face off"said Kaiba.
"A 4 way?"asked Joey.
"Yes, the duel will continue until only 2 duelists are leaft. The 2 losers will face off first, then the survivors goes against eachother second"explained Kaiba.
"That means Joey has to take on 4 duelists at once!"gasped Tea.
"Fine with me, I'll take on anybody!"said joey.
"Hm, we'll see if you truly are as good as you think, or if you're the same chump I easily beat at Duelist kingdom"thought Kaiba.
All took a place in each corner of the dueling platform.
"The order will go from the first winner to the last, which means Bakura will go first, then Wheeler, then Malik, then me. Each will recieve 4000 lifepoints. It's every man for himself so helping another duelist is forbiden, at least helping them directly. Now, let the match begin!"
"Allright Joey, let's see if you truly have what it takes to win"thought Ichizu.
"C'mon Joey, do your best, I know you can beat anybody"said Serenity.
"She's right, I just have to focus"thought Joey.
"Duel!"
Bakura:4000 Joey:4000 Kaiba:4000 Malik:4000
They all drew their opening hands.
"Well it looks like I'll start us off. I place 2 cards face down. Now I summon the Portrait's secret in attack mode"
It had an ATK of 1200 and DEF of 1500.
"He's gonna summon that Dark Nepharioah"thought Joey.(Note:I made an error previously on Dark Nephrioah's attack when Bakura dueled Espa Roba but it's nothing big as Jinzo would still be strong enough to destroy it)
"No one can attack until we've all drawn at least once so by then hoprefully I'll find a way to stop his strategy"thought Kaiba.
"It's my turn. I summon Swordsman of Landstar, in attack mode. Then I place 2 cards face down, and end my turn"
"What is he thinking? His monster has 500 attack points, anything could beat that"thought Kaiba.
Yami Malik drew.
"I place one card face down. Then I summon WHiptail Crow in attack mode"
It had an ATK of 1650 and DEF of 1600.
"Allright, now it's my move. I summon Lord of Dragons in defence mode. I equip him with 2 Flute of Summoning Dragons. Flute of Summoning Dragons allows me to summon up to 2 Dragon Type creatures from my hand when Lord of Dragons is out. With 2 I can summon 4, however I'll only summon 3. I summon My 3 Blue Eyes, and play Polmerasation to fuse them into Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon"
It had an ATK of 4500 and DEF of 3800
"Everyone's taken a turn, now it's time for the real action to begin so make your move Bakura"ordered Kaiba.
"I can't afford to let that Ultimate Dragon attack my monster while he's in attack mode, I'll lose too many lifepoints"thought Yami Bakura.
"I switch my monster to defence, then summon Gross Ghost field of dreams in defence"
It had an ATK of 1300 and DEF of 1800.
"Looks like it's my move"said Joey drawing.
"Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about"thought Joey.
"I summon GearFried the Iron Knight in attack mode"
It had an ATK of 1800 and DEF of 1600.
"Now Gearfried, destroy Yami Malik's Whiptail Crow!"
Yami Malik:3850
Yami Malik just shrugged as he took his turn.
"I summon Makuriah the Destroyer"
It had an ATK of 1600 and DEF of 1200.
"Then I place one more card face down and end my turn"
Kaiba drew.
"Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, destroy Wheeler's Swordsman of Landstar and eliminate him from the match!"
"Not so fast Kaiba, activate Skull Dice, it reduces the attack of your monster by the number rolled. I also activate Graceful Dice to raise my Swordsman's attack by the nuber rolled!"
Skull Dice got a 4, Graceful Dice got a 6.
"No way!"gasped Kaiba.
"Now my Swordsman can destroy your so called Ultimate Dragon!"
Kaiba:3500
"Well, it seems Joey's pretty good after all"thought Kaiba.
Yami Bakura took his turn.
"This is annoying, no one's even tried to attack me"thought Yami Bakura.
"I activate the Magic card Exchange. I can Exchange a card in my hand with that of any other duelist. I choose you Yami Malik"
"Fine, pick one"said Yami Malik.
Yami Bakura walked over and saw Orisis in Yami Malik's hand, he took it. Yami Malik took Change of Heart.
Yami Bakura took his place back at the platform.
"Now I only need one more monster to tribute"thought Yami Bakura.
"I summon Headless Knight in defence mode and end my turn"
It had an ATK of 1450 and DEF of 1700.
"If they continue to ignore me I'll summon Orisis and then they'll be in trouble"thought Yami Bakura.
Joey drew.
"It's Seyaru the card I won from Matt. Joey's in buisness now"thought Joey.
"First I place one card face down. Then I sacrafice both monsters on my field to summon Seyaru!"
ATK 2500 DEF 2300(just to refresh ya all who might have forgotten)
"Allright Seyaru, attack Bakura's Headless Knight"
"What!"
The Headless Knight was shattered.
"I don't get it, why didn't Wheeler attack me? If he destroyed My Lord of Dragons, I would have nothing to defend me"thought Kaiba."thought Kaiba.
Yami Malik drew.
"I summon Revival Gem in defence mode. That ends my turn"

Yami Bakura drew.
"I place another monster in defence mode"
Joey drew.
"I summon one monster in defence mode. That ends my turn"

It had an ATK of 3300 and DEF od 2500.
"Gest Guardias, attack Joey's Seyaru!"
"Hold on, activate Magic Arm shield! It can use any other monster to absorb your attack, how about Bakura's Gross Ghostfield, so my monster is safe!"
"Now I only have one monster leaft"thought Yami Bakura.
Kaiba drew.
"I summon HyoZanryu by sacraficing my 2 monsters on the field. Next I equip him with the Horn of Light, raising his defence by 800, which means no one can attack my monster and destroy it"
"Oh I wouldn't say that. When I summon Orisis, I'll claim victory"
