"Holy crap I forgot about the next duel!" Allen said as he looked for his deck. "I'm up against Daniel again... man, it's going to be hard"

Suddenly there was a knock on Allen's door. Allen quickly walked over to it and answered it. "Ready for this round?" Daniel asked. "Yeah, I'm a little nervous. Anyone's going to win!" Allen said looking down.

"Awww come on, have some spirit. The last time we dueled was a long time ago. It's fate that chose us to duel because we need to see whose better" Daniel said cheering him up.

"But what if fate wants us to not be friends" Allen said. "Yeah, that's a good reason. But no matter what, we will still be friends if one of us loses" Daniel said as he waited for Allen.

Allen finally found his deck and grabbed it. "Ok, bud, let's get on with this tournament!" Allen said racing him to the arena. They both made it in time. "Well boy's let's start this duel" Pegasus greeted him.

It was still dark and it was 4 o'clock. It was late at night. Tho it was a Saturday everyone would be bummed about school.

Allen and Daniel took their spots at the dueling field. Pegasus allowed Allen to go first. Allen drew his first 6 cards. "Yeah, I got Obelisk on my first hand!" Allen said to himself. "I'll set 2 cards face down and summon Axe Raider into attack mode! (1700/1150) Then I end my turn"

"Then I'll place 3 cards face down and summon Spirit Warrior in attack mode! (1800/1000)." Daniel announced as the warrior materialized onto the field. "Now Spirit Warrior! attack his Axe Raider!"

The warrior lashed it's sword at the warrior sending a optic wave at it, destroying it. Allen's life points reduced to 4900. He then drew his card.

Allen smiled. "I'll now summon Warrior of Freed in attack mode! (1200/1300) and because of it's effect I'll summon another monster from my hand and I call out The Retrained Elven Swordsman! (1400/1200)" Allen announced. Allen then ended his turn.

"Too much of a goody goody fight if you ask me" Jess said looking up. "No one asked" Paul said, minding his own business. Jess glanced at him and ignored him.

"Now that it's my turn, I'll draw!" Daniel said as he pulled the card from his deck. "Then I'll sacrifice Spirit Warrior for Death Volstargaf in attack mode! (2200/2400)". The demon materialized onto the field ready for the assault.

"Now Volstargaf! attack Warrior of Freed!" Daniel announced. The demon flew into the air but Allen played his trap. "I'll activate the trap card, Warrior of Defense!" Allen announced.

"When I play this card, I can pay all my monster's attack points and raise his defense thus automatically putting him in defense mode" Allen explained. Warrior of Freed's defense points rose to 2500.

Since Allen played a trap card, Volstargaf's attack points rose to 2400 and Daniel only lost 100 life points making the score tie by 4900.

"Good move, but I'll destroy them" Daniel thought. They barley spoke a word to each other. They've been concentrated on this duel.

It was now Allen's turn. He drew his card quickly. "Hmmm, Kimi Ra Hinotama, this card can turn this duel very interesting" He thought to himself as he placed the card in his hand. "I have too high leveled monster to summon Obelisk but maybe this Kimi Ra Hinotama can help"

Daniel patiently waited for Allen to make his move. Allen then placed the card on the field magic slot. "I now activate the field card, Kimi Ra Hinotama!" Allen announced. Suddenly a volcano appeared behind Allen. "As long as this card lasts on the field any monster card that is destroyed or discarded to the graveyard will have to make you pay 300 life points for each monster, and this field card will raise all fire monsters up by 600!"

"And now I'll sacrifice Warrior of Freed to summon The Fiend Megacyber!" He announced as he placed the card on the field. Since Warrior of Freed went to the grave Allen lost 300 life points putting him down to 4600. "Then I'll activate this magic card, Dr. Jekyll's Potion which will boost up my Fiend Megacyber by 700 points making it a total of 2900!"

"But remember that card and Kimi Ra Hinotama raises my Volstargaf by 400 making it 2800!" Daniel mentioned.

"But my monster's still stronger than yours, Fiend Megacyber! attack his Volstargaf!" Allen yelled out. The warrior dove at the demon with it's fist out ready to punch it's lights out.

"I'll activate the trap card, Waboku!" Daniel announced. Suddenly the attack bounced The Fiend Megacyber off back to his spot. With Waboku activated it raised Volstargaf to 3000.

Allen growled as his attack was parried. Allen then ended his turn. Daniel drew his card in surprise. "Alright, God of Anubis. But it's pay is terrible. I know I put a Refuse Pay in my deck somewhere, I'll need it to activate Anubis' effect" Daniel said in his head as his eyes widen.

Daniel quickly moved his up to the field. "I'll summon the Fierce Tiger into defense mode! (1000/1600)" He announced as the tiger appeared.

"Now! Volstargaf! attack his Fiend Megacyber!" Daniel yelled pointing his hand at Allen. The demon rose up in the air and flew at the warrior. "Activate trap card, Magic Arm Shield!" Allen yelled. Suddenly a shield materialized infront of the warrior then a arm popped out, grabbed the tiger, and put it infront of the demon. The demon struck the tiger and it was destroyed.

Daniel growled as his plan was foiled and plus, he lost 300 life points reducing him to 4600. The effects of Magic Arm Shield had rose Volstargaf's attack to 3200. Volstargaf was strong enough to take out all his monsters but Allen some how was evading it's attacks.

It was now Allen's turn. He then drew his card. "Hmm, Angel Pachinko Machine, one of my favorites" He said to himself. "I'll play one card face down and sacrifice The Fiend Megacyber and Retrained Elven Swordsman to summon Wingweaver! (2750/2800)" He announced. Suddenly there was a light in the air and the angel floated down tot he field. "Then I'll activate this magic card, Angel's Bow and Arrow to increase my monster's attack by 700 making it a total of 3450!"

"But that means my own monster is increased by 200 making it 3400!" Daniel yelled. "It's enough to destroy it once again!" Allen yelled. "Wingweaver attack Volstargaf now!"

The angel rose it's newly magic bow and arrow and shot an arrow right at Volstargaf. As soon as the arrow struck the demon it was demolished into tiny bits. Then Daniel started laughing.

"I now activate Hakana Michizure!" He yelled as he flipped the card over. Suddenly there was a crack in the ground and it sucked up the angel. "This card destroys the monster that destroyed my own and allows me to summon a monster from my hand, and now I summon Suijin! (2500/2100)". Since both of their monsters were destroyed they each lost 300 making them down to 4300.

"Dudes! stop getting into ties!" Mink yelled. Jess just kept smiling evilly. Anyone who saw her could tell she had a plan.

Now it was Allen's turn and Daniel had a strong monster on the field. "Now or never" Allen said. "I activate this magic card I had on the field, Angel Pachinko Machine to summon 3 Pachinko Tokens to the field!".

Allen looked at his god card. He reached his hand to it but then he stopped. "Why can't I play it.... Am I too scared to win. What will become of me if I destroy my friend...." Allen said outloud. Daniel heard him and suddenly stopped.

"No I can't, I'll sacrifice 2 Pachinko Tokens to summon Cosmo Queen! (2900/2450)" Allen announced.

"No, what is he doing..." Daniel thought. "He was on the brink to winning and he threw it all away. I'll just have to play by his rules for the rest of this duel"

"Now I end my turn" Allen said. "Then I'll activate Monster Reborn and get your Retrained Elven Swordsman! then I'll activate Axe of Despair to raise it's attack to 2400!" Daniel announced, then he ended his turn.

Some how Allen couldn't think of winning to his best friend and Daniel didn't want to tell him he was being too soft. They both were having problems of this duel. Though no one was winning it would be to harsh of one of them lost. "Now I'll... end my turn" Daniel announced.

"Man! what are they doing?!" Mink said. "I'll tell you what they're going to do" Jess said laughing a bit.

"What?" Mink asked. "They'll be at each others throats in a while. I just need to use the bathroom" Jess replied. She left to the elevator and headed down the stairs.

"These fools, all they ever think about is friendship and love I'll soon turn that around" She said to herself as she turned around the corner to the girls room. She pushed opened the door and opened a stall and sat on the toilet. "Now Millennium Ring, come to me" Jess said as she placed her hands infront of her chest. Slowly the Millennium Ring phased through her body and infront of her chest.

She took it off her neck and placed it on her hands. She closed her eyes and then a transparent view came up underneath the ring. It was the duel between Allen and Daniel. "Now Millennium Ring, turn their hearts around and make them go at each other like enemies. Make the loser suffer the end" She chanted.

Suddenly Allen's and Daniel's pupils turned dark purple. "Now I'll end my turn after I place this card face down!" Daniel yelled.

"Alright, you fool. I'll place this card face down and end my turn!" Allen yelled back. "Then I'll have my Swordsman attack your face down card!" Daniel yelled.

The Elven Swordsman drew it's sword and slashed right through the card which appeared to be Man-Eater Bug. The bug was destroyed then it destroyed the swordsman. Since the monsters were destroyed their life points reduced to 4000.

Daniel and Allen both gave angry looks. "I will break this tie and end you to suffer!" Allen yelled. "What is he talking about?!" Mink said to herself.

"I'll be the one to break the tie and end you to a world of agony!" Daniel snapped.

Mink started to think. "Jess was right.. but how'd she know" Mink thought.

It was now Allen's turn. "Now I'll play this card in defense mode and end my turn!" Allen yelled. Daniel thought for a second.

"That low life must have a plan" Daniel said. Allen then shouted that he ended his turn and then Daniel drew his card. "Another Waboku" Daniel said to himself.

"I'll place this card face down and summon my own Warrior of Freed (1200/1300). Which now allows me to summon a monster from my hand, and I chose Ryu-Ran! (2200/2600)" Daniel yelled. His Warrior of Freed was in defense mode then he ended his turn.

Allen started laughing. "You idiot, If you could you would have destroyed my hand but instead I'll just destroy you. Now I sacrifice Cosmo Queen, Pachinko Token, and my defense card, Wall of Illusion to summon the almighty God of Obelisk!" He yelled as a ring of light surrounded him. The gigantic warrior stepped into play ready to knock him out.

"God of Obelisk destroys all your monsters and now I'll end you once and for all!" Allen yelled as Daniel's monsters were destroyed. "Obelisk! destroy all his life points!"

The god rose it's giant hand into the air and sent it flying down at Daniel. Daniel secretly flipped over his trap card. As the god's fist neared Daniel a cloud appeared and a huge smash sound echoed the area. As the cloud smoked another light showed. There was a barrier around Daniel and he lost no life points.

Daniel started to laugh. "You moron! I was able to evade the attack of your god with another Waboku!" He yelled as the barrier died down and Obelisk pulled his hand back.

Daniel drew his card. "Graverobber, if I use this card, i can summon my god card" Daniel said in his mind. "Now! I'll play Graverobber to steal your Angel Pachinko Machine and sacrifice all three tokens to summon my God of Anubis! (4500/0)"

Suddenly a gate appeared and it slowly opened. It was the same scene when Sobek was summoned. The Anubis stepped into the field holding something different, an Egyptian staff.

Anubis was just about 100 times smaller than Obelisk was strong enough to defeat it. Daniel then ended his turn.

As the two paranoid duelist stood before each other Jess sat there laughing as her Millennium Ring was glowing gold. She now unleashed a new power of her Millennium Item and was able to turn a heart to evil. How is these two heroes going to finish the show down without causing pain to the loser. Jess' evil has returned and who is going to stop her?
