"I end my turn after I place this monster in defense mode!" Enya announced. "Finally, I'll have Slime Android attack it!" Mink announced. The android held it's hands up and sent a psychic wave at the defense monster. The monster was destroyed but it turned out to be Magician of Faith who was destroyed. "Now I can chose a monster card to revive from my graveyard, but I'll keep it a secret" Enya said as she added the card into her hand.

"Hmph, I end my turn" Mink said crossing her arms. Enya drew her card. "Ah ha, I forgot about this card. Magical Ritual Cage. This can help me win" Enya said in her mind. "All I need is the ritual monster and two sacrifices. But right now I have Injection Angel Lily on the field, it won't help if I just sacrifice her... or maybe..."

Enya moved her head so she was looking directly at Mink. "I have a plan to stop you but in order to keep my strategy going, I'll sacrifice my Injection Angel Lily in order to summon The Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700 +300), And then I'll activate Monster Reborn ,which I revived from my grave, so I can summon back my Dark Magician! (2500/2100). Next I'll place 2 cards face down and end my turn" She said.

"Wow, a very useless turn." Mink said. She drew her card and looked at it. "A perfect card" Mink said. "Now I'll activate the magic card, Ryoku!"

"No!" Enya said. Ryoku was allowed to sacrifice half of Enya's Life Points to raise Mink's own monster by the amount taken away. Enya's life points went down to 1975 and Mink's Slime Android went to 4725. "Now I'll win this game once and for all. Slime Android attack her Dark Magician Girl!"

"I'll parry it by using the The Trap Card, Sword of Parry!" Enya announced. Suddenly a giant sword swatted the attack of the android away and the attack was negated. Mink ended her turn knowing she'll win in the next turn.

"Crap, I need some back up here. I won't last long" Enya thought as she drew her card. "Not the card I need but it can help"

"I can see your shaking at your knees" Mink said. "It's just cold, well now I'll activate this card, Megamorph!" Enya replied. "And I'll equip it to your monster and since you have more life points than me your Monster's Attack halves to 2300!"

"oh no, you lowered my monster's attack now I'm going to cry" Mink insulted. What Mink said made Enya feel like a loser. She then ended her turn.

Mink drew her card. "Ah ha, yes now I'll really win this time!" Mink said. "I'll activate the Magic Card. Ritual of Forever Summoning! Which allows me to take a ritual monster card from my deck to the hand, and now, I activate The Ritual of Zera to sacrifice a monster from my hand to summon Zera The Mant! (2850/2800)"

Suddenly Enya's hopes came up. "Now after you end your pathetic and useless turn, I can end you" Mink bragged. "Not so fast!" Enya said. "Ritual of Forever Summoning allows both players to take a ritual monster. And you completed my strategy! Now I'll victor this duel! Now I activate the magic card, Magic Ritual Cage!".

Mink's eyes widen as a box appeared behind the Dark magician and the Dark Magician Girl. The box opened and both the monsters were sucked in and then a cloud seeped through the box and the sides fell. "I now summon the mighty, Magicians Pet Dragon! (3450/1800)"

As the dragon flew up into the air it stared eye to eye with Mink. "Meet your match because when I sacrifice all 5 cards in my hand I can have it attack directly!" Enya said. Enya then placed all her cards into the graveyard and then the dragon's eyes started glowing red. "Now Dragon! attack her life points directly!" She yelled.

The monster opened it's mouth and blew out a stream of fire at Mink. Mink covered her self on the ground as the flames burnt her. The flames cleared and Mink just sat there.

"And Miss. Akazuma wins the duel!" The host yelled throwing his mic into the air. Everyone cheered to the victory as the field floated back to the ground.

Enya ran over to Mink. "Good duel!" She said as she helped her up. "Yeah, I guess I'm competing for 2nd place now" Mink said kind of looking down.

"Tell ya what, you can keep your rarest card. I was just here to do my best and I'm sure you did your best" Enya said cheerfully. "Are you saying I'm sad?! Do I look sad to you?!" Mink practically yelled. Enya stood there confused. Mink then turned around and walked back to the bench.

"Phew, I'm glad that's over" Allen said throwing his can into the garbage. "It's fear it's just about to start" Daniel replied.

"Why?" Allen asked.

"Something tells me there'll be a strong rematch of an old friend" Daniel replied again. "Dude, you mean between you and me?" Allen said.

"No, something evil... I can just feel it. Just wait" Daniel said.

The host gave the duelers a 30 minute break to eat and hang around. "Man, that field was tense" Enya said soaking her face with a wet rag. There was a knock on the door and Enya called for it. The door opened.

"Oh hey Jess!" Enya said. "Hey Enny, say, I never knew your sister was Ishizu" Jess said.

"Eh I like to keep my siblings a secret. It's hard to be famous" Enya replied. Jess just smiled. "Well we better get on the host is going to start the Bingo Machine" Jess insisted. They both left the room and to the arena.

"OK everyone! here's the third round of the Duelist Tournament!" The Host yelled. "It's the third round and we'll all be excited to see what's instore for our crowds!"

"Well let's see if your prediction is right" Allen said crossing his arms. "You'll see" Daniel replied. The host cranked up the bingo machine and threw in the dice. The dice thrashed through out the machine and then the air motor stopped.

The host picked up a dice. "And our first number is 7!" The host said. "See, it's me and either you or someone else I've dueled before" Daniel said to Allen.

"I doubt it" Allen replied. The last dice finished rolling and landed on a 5. "And our second duelist is duelist number 5!" The host yelled. "This means are continuing world champion is up against a dark and sinister occult deck!"

"Oh...." Allen said shocked. Jess stood up. "I've been waiting for this duel for a long time" Jess said as she started walking to the field. Daniel followed from behind and looked back. Allen gave a thumbs up and Mink waved.

The two duelist stepped onto each triangle and they floated up. "We'll start this duel with Jess!" The host announced.

"Good because I can't wait to beat you and avenge my pride!" Jess said as she drew her 6. Daniel drew 5.

"I'll start off by placing 2 cards face down and summoning the Headless Knight into attack mode (1450/1700)" She announced.

"I won't let you win this time, I place 3 cards face down and summon Ryu Warrior in attack mode (1600/1300)! Now Ryu Warrior attack her Headless Knight!" Daniel announced.

The warrior raised it's sword and charged at the knight slicing it in two and reducing Jess' life points to 4850. Daniel ended his turn in a sort of hesitated moment. "Now it's my turn and I draw" Jess said.

"Yes" She said. "Now I play this magic card, Return of The Grave to return Headless Knight to the field and it also adds 500 more attack points into it, making it's attack higher to 1950!"

"I should have seen that" Daniel thought. "Headless Knight! destroy his Ryu Warrior!" Jess announced. The Knight drew his sword and charged at the warrior, slicing it in two and ending Daniel with 4650. "Now I end my turn" Jess declared.

Daniel drew his card. "Yeah, a good card" Daniel said to himself. Jess looked confident knowing she'll draw her god card and win the duel. "I now summon Kitsune Priest (1900/1300) in attack mode. Then I'll add this card to aid my monster and destroy yours, Assault Force! This magic card allows me to discard 3 cards from my hand to lower one of your monsters by 800!" He announced.

Jess' Headless Knight went down to 1050. "Now Kitsune Priest! attack her Headless Knight!" Daniel declared. The fox glided through the air and then a bunch of leaves fell upon the night and then the knight vanished. Jess' life points went down to 3950. Daniel's life points stood at 4650 which meant he was in the lead.

Now it was Jess turn. "Now I must draw the card I need" Jess said. She closed her eyes and drew. As she posed for the action for the crowd and revealing the card. "Now I activate the card which will summon the powerful Dark Necrofear in the future!"

"What?" Daniel thought. "I now activate the permanent magic card, Demon's Tranquility!" She announced. As soon as she placed the card onto the field the arena turned dark and damp.

"Oooo looks like Jess has unleashed a terrible fog that will turn all her monsters on the field and in the graveyard into Demon type monsters!" The host said looking around.

"So, you're planning to summon Dark Necrofear, the card I originally have" Daniel said crossing his arms. "Exactly but it gets even worse" Jess replied smiling evilly.

"So, and you also decided to bring your Millennium Ring with you, making sure you DO get the god cards" Daniel mentioned.

"Not only that but I have a new card which is stronger than all of your God Cards and it'll allow me to win the duel!" Jess said as the darkness grew bigger in the stadium. "Now I summon The Dark Gearfried to the field (1600/1300). Since the field is now darkness it gains a special bonus of 500 points and also it becomes a Demon"

Daniel took a small step back as the giant soldier towered over him. "I'll make sure you won't win!" He threatened. "Yeah right, Dark Gearfried attack his Kitsune!" Jess announced.

The knight rose it's sword infront of himself and then slashed it at the fox destroying it and reducing Daniel's Life Points to 4500. Jess then ended her turn.

Daniel drew his card. "Earth Spirit, maybe this can help me summon a greater monster" He said to himself.

"Now I'll activate the magic card Warrior of Freed (1200/300) to the field, and activating it's special ability I'll special summon another warrior type monster from my hand and I chose The Fiend Megacyber! (2200/1200)" Daniel announced. "Fiend Megacyber attack Jess' Dark Gearfried!"

The warrior charged at the knight and punched it which sent it flying and being destroyed into tiny pieces. "And now Warrior of Freed! Attack her life points directly!" Daniel announced. The warrior drew his sword and slashed at Jess. Jess covered herself with her arms but as she was attacked she just laughed.

"Activate trap card, Damage Coin!" Jess announced. A holographic coin appeared onto the field. "Depending on the coin toss if I call it right you take all the damage you gave me"

"Well call it!" Daniel yelled. "Heads" Jess said. Then the coin started spinning. The coin fell onto the ground, thus landing on heads.

"Take that" Jess said. Suddenly the coin flashed and a wave of electricity struck at Daniel which reduced his life points to 3200. Daniel's shoulders and head were smoking from the impact but he got up.

"End your turn, fool" Jess yelled. Daniel did so after he placed one card on the field face down. "Now..." Jess said as she drew her card. "Yes Dark Necrofear, I just need one more card to get rid of"

The stadium was still dark due to the Demon's Tranquility. "Now I'll summon a monster in face down defense. Now I end my turn" Jess announced.

"Finally, Now I'll sacrifice Warrior of Freed and The Fiend Megacyber to summon Sanga of The Thunder! (2600/2100)" Daniel declared.

"And I'll atta...." Daniel went on but stopped. "Wait... if I attack she'll be able to summon Dark Necrofear... I'll have to remove that monster from play... or maybe..." he said in his head.

"What's he doing?" Mink said looking closely. "Maybe he chokes" Paul replied.

"Yeah right, you'd choke in that kind of air" Allen said with his arms crossed. "Or maybe it'd be you" Paul insulted.

Allen stood up ready to tackle him but Enya and Mink grabbed him and tried to calm him down. "Wait until you atleast get matched up with him!" Enya said.

"Well? are you going to make your move or forfeit?" Jess said trying to keep him going. "I'm going to lay this card face down and end my turn" Daniel replied.

Jess drew her card. "Not one of my needs yet" She said as she placed it in her hand. "I end my turn"

Daniel drew his card. "Exchange, this could help if I'm into a strategy" He said in his head.

"Looks like our champ here has an idea" The host said talking into the micro phone. "Wonder what it is" Allen said to himself.

"Now, Sanga of The Thunder! attack her face down monster!" Daniel declared. Sanga opened his hands and sent a bolt of electricity a the card. It appeared to be an Earthbound Spirit and it was the third fiend, Now Jess can summon Dark Necrofear.

Jess started laughing. "What so now you think you're going to lose! I'll win and claim your two God Cards!" She said. "That's why I set up a trap!" Daniel said.

"Now reverse trap card, Disappear!" He declared.

"Disappear, jeez, I would have never guessed that" Enya said.

"Disappear allows me to remove a card from your graveyard from play and I chose Headless Knight!" Daniel declared.

"No, I should have never told him about the Dark Necrofear" Jess said sternly as she gave him a mad look. "I end my turn!" Daniel yelled

"Well, it's nothing I should worry about. You only delayed one of my strongest monsters" Jess said. Jess drew her card. "Hmmm, this monster could help me a lot, but I'll focus on Dark Necrofear first"

Daniel, meanwhile, was looking through his hand for a good strategy. "Now, I'll play this monster, Jurugen Life into attack mode! (1450/2300)" Jess announced. A pot appeared onto the field and the top blew off revealing a ghost. "Then I'll place one card face down on the field and end my turn"

"Alright, I'll draw!" Daniel said drawing his card. "Yeah! Now I activate the Magic Card, Monster Reborn! and I use it to reborn the monster Warrior of Freed! (1200/300). And it's special effect allows me to special summon a monster from my hand to the field and I chose Death Volstargaf in attack mode! (2200/2400)"

"Hmm, never heard of that monster but I'll see what it does sooner or later" Jess went on. "I'll have Death Volstargaf attack Jurugen Life!" Daniel declared. As the giant demon stomped toward it and swished it's claws at the jar the ghost hid into it's jar and the attack didn't even scratch it.

"What?! how can it do that!" Allen said standing up. Once again Enya and Mink pulled him back down.

"As you see, Jurugen Life has a special effect, it cannot be attacked by Demon Type Monsters so end your turn!" Jess said. "Fine I end my turn!" Daniel replied

"Good, I'll summon The Portrait's Secret into attack mode (1200/1500). Then I'll lay a card face down and end my turn" Jess announced.

The score was Daniel: 3200 and Jess: 3950. Jess was now in the lead. "Now it's my turn and I'll have Sanga of The Thunder attack Portrait's Secret!" Daniel announced.

Sanga once again opened it's hands and shot a bolt of electricity at the painting destroying it and ending Jess with 2550 life points. "Now I'll activate my trap card, Revenge Sacrifice!" Jess said as the card flipped up.

"What?!" Daniel said standing back. "This allows me to sacrifice your attacking monster, Sanga of Thunder, and I'll summon The Dark God Ha Des! (2450/2200)" She announced. "And after your turn I'll be able to summon Dark Necrofear. There'll be no stopping me!"

"Wow this duel is getting more exciting as the occult deck VS the... umm.. opponent!" The host yelled out. Daniel looked at the corner of his eye at the host and back to the field.

"There's nothing I can do.. I pass my turn" Daniel said. "Good! now I'll summon the monster whose your fault for going into this trade! I now sacrifice Dark Gearfried, Portrait's Secret, and Earthbound Spirit in order to summon the almighty, Dark Necrofear! (2200/2800)" Jess announced. As the card appeared onto the field a purple spirit floated around the arena and onto it's place. "Now fear the ultimate power of Dark Necrofear!"

"Man, he's in trouble"Mink said looking up at the field. "He'll pull through, he has to" Allen said.

"Now Dark Necrofear! attack his Warrior of Freed!" Jess announced. The eyes on Dark Necrofear was glowing red. Then it shot out red beams at the defensive warrior, destroying it. "Now I end my turn"

"What are you going to do now? you can't destroy my monster without having me taking one of yours. Plus You're trapped!" Jess went on.

Daniel drew his card. "This can't help me, I end my turn" Daniel said.

Jess drew her card. "Yeah, one of my favorite cards" She said in her head.

"Now I sacrifice Jurugen Life to summon The Ghost Duke! (2000/700)" Jess announced.

"Man, three strong cards and yet Dan here only has 1 good one" Mink mentioned. "Good one? you mean that Volstargaf is actually worth something?" Allen asked.

"What it does is it gets an extra 200 attack points for every magic or trap card activated. If Daniel uses it right he could actually take out a good series of her life points" Mink replied.

As The duel continued all three occult monsters, Dark God Ha Des, Dark Necrofear, and The Ghost Duke looked beyond Daniel's worst nightmare and the only thing protecting him is the Volstargaf. Yet no one yet has drawn their god card.
