The Emotions have narrowed down to hatred as Daniel and Allen, two best
friends, duel to earn the way of the Final round of the whole tournament.
Each person is dueling their best out of the hatred of the Millennium Ring.
"You know, you only have 2 god cards but I have 3. 3 to defeat you. You have no chance!" Allen yelled.
"2nd the best. I'm here to bring you down!" Daniel yelled.
Allen drew his card. "Now I'll place this card face down and now I summon The Celtic Guardian in attack mode! (1400/1200). Then I activate De-Spell on my own Kimi Ra Hinotama!" Allen announced. He then ended his turn.
Daniel drew his card. "Yes, the magic card, Refuse Pay. Once I activate this card, I can win" Daniel said as he got ready to play it. "But then again, the effect is no good on the gods"
"But I can still win this duel" He said in his mind. "Anubis! attack his Celtic Guardian!" He yelled.
The Anubis rose it's staff and a light blinded he area. Then a red beam shot out of the center of the light directly at the Celtic Guardian.
"Now I activate the trap card, Mirror Force to negate the attack!" Allen said as he flipped the card over. "Heh, waist of a card, you might as well have lost the duel!" Daniel teased.
"I'm afraid not!" Allen said as he drew his card. "Graceful Dice, if only I could use it on the gods" Allen said as he placed it in his hand.
"I activate the magic card, Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards!" Allen announced. "Ahh yes, Dark Knight Gaia. Too bad I have too many cards in my hand to summon it". He then ended his turn.
Daniel drew his card. "Spiritualistic Medium, this can help boost up Anubis, but first" Daniel said to himself. He then started his turn "I activate my trap card, Call of The Haunted to retrieve my Death Volstargaf! (2200/2400 +200)".
"Then I activate Spiritualistic Medium to destroy 3 cards in my hand to raise Volstargaf by 1500 plus an extra 200!" He yelled. Volstargaf's attack points raised to 3900. Daniel then ended his turn.
"Hmm" Allen pondered as he drew his card. "Alright, The Copy Card from when I dueled with Malik" He said out loud.
"The copy card...." Daniel said taking a small step back. "Now I activate this Copy Card to copy Spiritualistic Medium!" Allen announced. Allen put 4 cards into his graveyard to boost the Celtic Guardian up to 3400.
"Now that I have all but one card in my hand I can summon this strong monster without tributes!" He yelled as he rose the card into the air. "I now summon Dark Knight Gaia! (2300/2100)". A knight on a horse then materialized onto the field.
"Now I have 2 strong monsters aside of my God, you only have on dumb one" Allen boasted. "You forget, my Volstargaf is at 4000 now, just as strong as your Obelisk, even a regular monster can now defeat Obelisk, Volstargaf! attack Obelisk now!" Daniel yelled.
The demon's eyes glowed and it opened it's mouth a red blast appeared and went straight forth to Obelisk. The blast aimed at the head and the head flew off then the body shattered. Then Volstargaf exploded.
Allen looked like he would scream with rage but then something happened. His eyes went down for a second and his innocent face came back but then forced it's angry way back on.
"What the..." Mink said. Paul and Malik weren't speaking but enjoying themselves. "Maybe they're being controlled... If no one will do anything, I'll have to" She said running to the elevator. She quickly turned the corner to her room where her bag lay. "There it is!" She said. Mink latched open the bag and took out her Millennium Rod. When she turned around Malik stood in her way.
"Going somewhere?" Malik said smiling and blocking the door. "Yeah, I'm going to stop the hatred" Mink replied trying to push him away.
"I don't think so" He replied with a push back. He then used his Gauntlets to keep her down. "We will watch how this duel will end" He said. He pushed his arm out and a transparent view of the duel showed. "We will watch until the end"
"Yes, I remember my Suijin" Daniel thought. "Suijin! attack his Dark Knight Gaia!". Suijin's mouth opened and a blast of water shot at the knight, destroying it and leaving Allen with 3800.
Daniel then ended his turn. "Your Anubis is nothing! I can easily defeat it!" Allen yelled. "I activate Axe of Despair on my Celtic Guardian to raise it's attack to 4400". Allen's Celtic Guardian was so close to defeating the great god Anubis but it was only 100 attack points off. Allen then placed a monster in face down defense and ended his turn.
"Now! I'll end your Celtic Guardian as I now have God of Anubis attack it!" Daniel declared. The Anubis rose it's staff and it shined. The red beam came but right before it hit Celtic Guardian, Allen activated his trap. "I activate the trap card, Shift!" Allen yelled. Suddenly the beam stopped and shot at the face down card which was Magician of Faith.
"And you know how the Magician of Faith allows me to take a magic card from my graveyard" Allen laughed as the card slid out of the graveyard slot.
Daniel ended his turn with a grumble. "Now I activate the card I reborn, The Copy Card will once again allow me to raise my Celtic Guardian by 100 as I use it as Axe of Despair!" Allen declared.
Celtic Guardian's attack power rose up to 5400 enough to now destroy Anubis. "Now, Celtic Guardian! attack God of Anubis!" He announced.
The warrior ran up to Anubis and swiped him with his sword. Quickly the god was destroyed. Daniel's life points reduced to 3000. Daniel was now angry and practically wanted to kill Allen.
Allen laughed as his turn ended. "Suijin is too weak, and there's no chance of me getting my final god, I'll have to end him now" Daniel thought as he drew his card.
"I now activate Sealing Ward of Light which will paralyze your Celtic Guardian until another monster is summoned" Daniel announced. "Then I'll activate Malevolent Nuzzler to raise my Suijin to 3200! Then I end my turn"
Allen drew his card. "Hmph, there's nothing I can do so I pass" Allen said. Daniel drew his card.
"I can't take this!" Mink said. "I'm not going to wait here and see a friendship crushed!"
"We'll see once I stop you for good" Malik said as he shined his other Gauntlet at her. "No! I'll stop you!" Mink yelled as she grabbed her Millennium Rod and pointed it in the front of his face.
Suddenly the item shined and it practically blinded Malik. Malik shielded his eyes and once the light cleared Mink was gone.
"Now I'll activate my second Malevolent Nuzzler to raise my Suijin to 3900 enough to take you down. But for my final move, I activate The Rainbow Arch! This card allows me to attack directly!" Daniel yelled.
"NO STOP!" Mink yelled as she came from the side of the arena. "Your all in a spell done by The Millennium Ring! I brought my Millennium Rod so I can make sure no cheating goes on!"
Both Daniel and Allen looked to her. "Your wasting your time" Allen growled. "No! you guys are biting at each others throats! I've gotta free you guys!" Mink yelled.
She then rose her Millennium Rod into the air. The item started glowing and a light shined across Allen and Daniel. There was a darkness in them and it bursted out of their eyes. It gave a hideous chuckle then dissolved.
Daniel and Allen finally came back to their senses. "Jeez, no wonder I had to hate Allen so much" Daniel said rubbing his eyes. "yeah..." Allen replied.
Allen then finally noticed the Rainbow Arch. "Well, looks like I'm done for..." Allen said. "Take your best shot! Be sure to destroy that Paul for me!". Allen then started to smile.
"Your right, I'll be sure to win this tournament!" Daniel replied. "Suijin! attack his life points directly!". Suijin's water cannon shot out and the water followed along the rainbow and directly at Allen. The water overflowed him and his life points went down to 0.
Allen and Daniel both met up in the center of the field and gave a nice hand shake. "Good duel" Daniel said happily. "Yeah good duel!" Allen replied.
Pegasus came up to Daniel and rose his hand. "Daniel is the winner and will no be competing against our Paul for the title of Strongest Duelist of The World!" He announced. "You may now take a rest, The duels that will continue will be for 2nd place so you guys can relax until Daniel finally does Duel Paul"
As Daniel passed Paul, Paul spoke out. "Wow, I never thought you'd make it this far. I'll be waiting for this final duel to end. It shouldn't be hard" Paul said.
"Yeah, I figured out what you've been trying to do. You think you're that tough because of Ra, well I'd really be happy to take Ra off of your hands. " Daniel replied giving him a mean glare. "Yeah that's what they all say" Paul said casually.
Daniel ignored him and walked passed. "Listen, thanks for acting when you noticed things were off" Allen said to Mink. "Ahh it was nothing, I just had a run in with Malik that's why I was almost too late" She replied.
"Whoa, that's right. Jess is going against Malik next round... Man this sucks... I have the worst feeling Jess is going to lose" Daniel said looking down. "We'll cheer her on!" Mink said holding a fist.
"Yeah we will!" Allen replied. "do what?" Jess answered at the door of the elevator. "Where were you?" Mink said pulling her to the group. "Bathroom, then I got hungry" Jess replied laughing.
"Come on! Join the group!" Daniel yelled. "Well Jess, you're up against Malik, what do you have to say?" Allen asked.
"Bleh, I'm just going to duel my best. I haven't won yet but who cares. I'm just here to test my deck" Jess replied nervously.
The group decided to go down to the hospital to see how Enya was doing. As they entered the hospital the doctor greeted them. "How's Enya doing?" Daniel asked.
"She's fine she's up and awake you can see her if you want" The doctor replied opening the door for them. "Hey Enny!" Jess said sitting next to her on the bed.
"Hey, jeez, that blast from Ra really gives you a head ache" Enya said rubbing her head. "Well the only thing you missed was Stagg's soul getting sucked out of him and Allen and Daniel dueling" Mink mentioned.
"Oh man! I did?! Gah! I can't believe I missed your guys big break!" Enya said. "Don't worry, after the tournament they give us DVDs on the whole tournament so we can remember what happened" Allen said.
After a couple of minutes chatting the doctor excused them out since the 8th duel was about to start. Jess had to hurry and face Malik. Jess ran ahead of the group and up the stairs. They met her at the elevator and up to the arena.
Malik greeted them with an evil smile.
"You know, you only have 2 god cards but I have 3. 3 to defeat you. You have no chance!" Allen yelled.
"2nd the best. I'm here to bring you down!" Daniel yelled.
Allen drew his card. "Now I'll place this card face down and now I summon The Celtic Guardian in attack mode! (1400/1200). Then I activate De-Spell on my own Kimi Ra Hinotama!" Allen announced. He then ended his turn.
