Chapter 22

Yami Malik:2500 Joey:2350

"That Nightmare Wheel will make me lose 500 lifepoints every turn. So if I don't beat him in the next 6 turns, my lifepoint will drop to 0 and I'm finished"thought Joey as he drew.

"C'mon deck, come through for me"thought Joey drawing.

"Just give up Wheeler, once I summon my Egyptian God cards you won't have anything leaft"said Yami Malik.

"Joey, destroy him!"yelled kaiba.

Everyone gasped and turned towards the weakened Kaiba.

"Thrash this punk, you're the only one leaft Wheeler. You have to beat him, now!"

"Kaiba's right Joey, you can do this!"cheered Tea.

"Go Joey!"cheered Serenity.

"they're right Joey, you can beat him!"said Yugi.

"Cheerleaders belong at football games. So, got nothing leaft?"

"Allright Malik, I've just drawn the card that's gonna finish ya!"

"What, you mean-

"That's right! Sacraficing Battle Warrior, I summon Jinzo!"

Jinzo destroyed the nightmare Wheel with a blast from it's jaw.

"Now, destroy Labravo!"

Yami Malik:1600

Yami Malik drew.

"I sacrafice Revival Gem, and a Slime Token to summon Gest Guardias! Destroy his Jinzo!"

Joey:1450

Joey drew.

"Oh man, all I can do is defend for now"thought Joey.

"I place my monster in defence mode"

Yami Malik drew.

"Now I have precisely 3 monsters out. So Now I sacrafice them to summon the Winged Dragon of Ra!"

"NO!"gasped Joey.

"Wheeler's done for! That Egyptian God is absoloutely unstoppable!"gasped Kaiba.

"Ra's special ability gives him the attack power of all the monsters sacraficed, raising his attack to 7900! Obliterate his pathetic defence!"

"My Rocket Warrior!"

"Is finished! And so are you Joey Wheeler!"

"Joey don't quit, you have to win!"thought Ichizu.

"C'mon deck, come through thought Joey drawing.

"I play the magic card Exchange! Now we each get a card from one another's hand!"

"I see, he's going for Orisis. The fool, Orisis won't pose a threat to my Winged Dragon of Ra"thought Yami Malik.

Joey took Orisis, while Yami Malik took Red Eyes.

"Now I play Card Destruction, forcing us both to discard our entire hand!"

"What's Joey doing!"gasped Tea.

Joey got just what he needed.

"Now I play Monster Reborn, revive Orisis the Sky Dragon!"

Orisis appeared on his side of the field.

"I can't believe this, Joey seems to have full control of that God card! No matter"thought Yami Malik drawing.

"A foolish move Wheeler! Winged Dragon of Ra, anialate Orisis and wipe out Wheeler's lifepoints!"

"Not so fast, activate Skull Dice!"

"A Trap!"

"Depending on the roll of the number, Skull dice will lower your monster's attack power!"

"Now, this can't be!"

It landed on a 2.

Ra:4400

"Now with only 4400, while Orisis has 5000! Attack!"

Yami Malik:1000

"Wheeler did it, he defeated the Winged Dragon of Ra"thought Kaiba.

"So Malik, still cocky, are ya?"

"Yes, take a look, I play Monster Reborn, to bring back the Winged Dragon of Ra! Obliterate Orisis!"

Joey:1050

"You're finished Joey!"

Joey drew.

"I play Misaki the Legendary Swordsman in defence mode, then place one card face down. Your turn Malik"

Yami Malik drew.

"I play Soul Taker. Discarding 2 cards i can bring back a magic card, Monster Reborn! To bring back Orisis the Sky Dragon! Orisis, destroy Misaki the Legendary Swordsman!"

Misaki was gone.

"Now Ra, wipe out his lifepoints!"

Joey shileded himself from the attack.

Joey:0000

"I win!"

"Not quite Malik!"

3 Skapegoats were floating on the field.

"This can't be!"

"I activated SkapeGoat, which protected my lifepoints!"

"Phew, that was close"said Tea.

"Playing Skapegoat activated Orisis's special ability, it's second mouth!"

All the Skapegoats were obliterated.

"AW!"gasped Joey.

"He's done. He barely beat one Egyptian God card, but 2? This is it!"said Kaiba.

"Aw man, what if it is over? No way! I HAVE to win! For everybody! C'mon deck, come through for Joey"he thought Drawing.

"I place one card face down, and then summon a monster in defence"

"Orisis, activate your second mouth!"

The defence was gone.

"Winged Dragon of Ra, attack his lifepoints!"

"I don't think so! Activate Graverobber, which brings back Magic Arm Shield! So now Orisis will absorb the attack!"

Yami Malik:400

"Darn you!"

"Now, it's time to end this duel! I summon Kojikocky!"

It had an ATK of 1500 and DEF of 1200.

"I also activate Graceful Dice! Depending on the roll of the number, Kojikocky's attack will increase!"

"This is it, someone's about to lose"thought Kaiba.

Unfourtanately for Joey, it landed on a 3.

"Ha! Ra, destroy it!"

Joey:100 Yami Malik:400

"Now Ra, destroy Joey!"

"Activate Roulete Spider! It attaches to Ra for the cost of half my lifepoints!"

Joey:50

"Now it will spin Ra round and round and whoever it points to is gone!"

"Joey, this is too risky!"Yelled kaiba.

"It's my only hope, Roulete Spider, go!"

"So Malik, how do ya feel now?"

Joey:50

"This is totaly a game of luck, but that dosen't make it any better for me"thought Yami Malik.

Yami Malik:400

It pointed to Yami Malik.

"NO!"

"Ra, attack!"

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"cried Yami Malik as he was engulfed in Ra's blast.

Yami Malik:0000

Joey did it! He won!"cheered tea.

"It's over. My real brother will soon come bak, and the world will once again be safe"thought Ichizu.
