Chapter 18
Joey and Bakura remained untouched at 4000 while Yami Malik was at 3850, and Kaiba in last at 3500.
"Now observe, it's my turn"said Yami Bakura.
"I activate Ultimate offering. At the cost of just 500 lifepoints I can summon more monsters. So I set a monster in defence, then pay 500 to set another one in defence. It's your turn"
Yami Bakura:3500
"Allright, now I got the lead. C'mon deck, let's do this"thought Joey drawing.
"I place 2 cards face down, and end my turn"
"That idiot, his Seyaru is leaft comepletely unprotected"thought Yami Malik drawing.
"Observe as I play another Gam Breeding machine, and this one with it. Now I'll create 2 Slime tokens every time my turn begins. Next I place one card face down, and then Gest Guardian, destroy Seyaru!"
"You fell right into my trap"
"Another one!"gasped Yami Malik.
"Oh yeah, activate the Chasm spikes card! This trap destroys your monster, and a quarter of it's attack is deducted from your your lifepoints!"
Yami Malik:3025
"You'll pay for that, it's my turn!"
2 slime Tokens were created.
"Now Joey, enough play time! Take watch, as I sacrafice my 3 monsters and Gam Breeding machine, to summon The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
"No! Ra!"gasped Joey.
"You must be kidding me!"gasped Kaiba.
"Now, attack his Seyaru!"
"Hold on, activate Fairy Box! This will save my monster from your attack"
"You may have survived that turn, but next time you're done!"
Kaiba drew.
"I place 2 cards face down, and end my turn"
"Now Malik, observe as I crush you! I sacrafice my 3 monsters to summon Orisis the Sky Dragon! His attack is only 5000 now, but I activate this magic card, SOlemn draw(I think, not sure) At the cost of just 500 lifepoints I get to draw 3 new cards, raising his attack to 6500! Now destroy Ra!"
But suprisingly, Orisis was destroyed.
"What happened!"gasped Yami Bakura as his lifepoints dropped to 0.
"Ra's special ability. It raises his ATK and DEF by that of all the monsters sacraficed to summon it, making his attack 9700!"
"Well that's one down"thought Kaiba as Joey drew.
"I switch Seyaru to defence mode, then anothe rmonster in defence. I also place one card face down, now make your move!"
"You must be kidding Wheeler. Allright, Ra attack Seyaru!"
"There goes Seyaru"thought Joey.
Kaiba drew.
"I pass this turn"
Joey drew.
"I place another monster in defence mode!"
"Your defences are pathetic Wheeler! Ra, attack again!"
Another one was destroyed.
Kaiba drew.
"I play Monster Reborn to revive my Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! Destroy one of Joey's defence cards!"
Joey drew as one of his defenses was gone.
"I pass this turn!"
"A big mistake there Kaiba! Ra, attack his Ultimate Dragon, and end this duel!"
"You've activated my Ring of Destrction, your monster will be destroyed, and both of us will pay the cost of his attack power!"
"Ra isn't affected by Trap cards! What a useless move!"
"But we still take the damage. I also activate Ring og Defence, protecting my lifepoints, while yours are gone"
"Hmph, not bad Kaiba"said Yami Malik.
"Looks like the Semi Finals have been decided. It'll be Yami Malik vs Bakura in the first match, and me vs Joey in the second bout!"
"Excellent, that means when I win I'll get Yami Maliks' Egyptian God card!"thought Yami Bakura.
"Alright, now I can finally pay back Kaiba for making fun of me like that at Duelist Kingdom"thought Joey.
"Wheeler's gonna be tougher to beat this time then the last, but I doubt he'll prove too dificult. What I really want are Malik's God cards. With those I would be number 1 for sure"thought Kaiba.
"I can't believe I have to waste my time with this fool. Oh well, once I defeat him it'll be onto Joey. Once I beat him, I can destroy this world and create a comepletely new one of my own"thought Yami Malik.
Ichizu walked up to Yami Malik.
"Well Ichizu, nice of you to pay me a visit"
"You sick being, what right do you have to use my brother like he's your toy!"
"As far as I'm concerened that's all he is. Once I obtain the power of the Pharoah, I will bring apocalypse onto this world and create a new one"
"You're insane!"
"Believe what you want. It's a pitty you don't want to join me and your brother, we could use an acomplice like you"
"Never! I know my brother, he would never do anything to serve you! You manipulated him into this! Blaming the Pharoah for a murder you commited Yami Malik!"
"Not my problem sister"
"I am not your sister!"
"If you say so. Enjoy the tournament Ichizu!"
Yami Malik walked away without a further word.
"Joey has to defeat him, if he dosen't, no one will stop him from destroying the world"thought Ichizu.
"Joey, you were great!"said Serenity.
"Aw shucks, it was nothing!"bragged Joey.
"Joey, this is it"said Yugi.
"Yeah, all I have to do is beat Kaiba, then I go on to face Yami Malik! I just hope I can actualy beat Kaiba this time"
"You can Joey, you're much better then you were last tiem, and this time you have comeplete control of your duel system. Just remember what you're fighting for"
"I know, fate of the world. Man, I wish i had a superhero costume to go with this"
"Joey, you might wanna focus on the Semi FInals. You best watch Yami Malik's duel, if he plays Ra again you might be able to find a weakness in it?"
"You think Bakura might win?"
"No way, Bakura's good but I don't think he'll quite measure up to Yami Malik"
"Wish me luck bud!"
"You can beat'em Joey!"
"Allright, it's time to go to work! Watch out Kaiba, Yami Malik, I'm coming for ya!"
