The score stood with Allen: 650 and Paul: 2200. Paul was way in the lead. Allen was confident he could win as soon as he summoned his rare, God of Sobek. Using a sacred move known as Soul Energy Max he triumphantly rose Sobek's attack points higher than any other regular monster could ever go. But he was stopped by Paul's trap card and now Allen has no way of winning.

Paul drew his next card. "I'll set a monster in defense mode and end my turn" He smiled.

Allen drew his next card. "Dice Roll!" Allen yelled as the golden dice flipped into the air and came toppling on a 3. "Now Sobek gains 3000 (9000/9000) more attack points! Now I'll set 2 cards face down. Now! Sobek! Attack his defense monster!"

Sobek rose it's staff and sent a purple wave toward Paul's defense monster. It was destroyed and it revealed to be Cyber Jar. Allen gasped. "No!" He gasped.

"That means we draw" Paul smiled drawing his 5 cards. He steadily looked at them and frowned. "I play this monster in defense"

Allen sighed with relief. He couldn't just rely on luck for Paul to keep not summoning monster. Allen looked at his five cards. Allen smiled as he looked at one monster he drew. He looked back at his temple behind him. "Now! I'll summon Temple Guardian! (3650/2300)" He yelled as the giant beast stepped down the steps of the giant temple. "Now! Attack his Vorse Raider!"

The giant Minotaur tossed each of it's two axes directly at the warrior, eliminating it from the field. Paul growled as Allen placed a card face down and ended his turn.

Paul drew his next card and smiled. "Now! I'll finally destroy you!" Paul yelled as his Ra started to glow. Ra opened it's mouth and launched a tremendous blaze of fire at The Temple Guardian.

"Go Waboku!" Allen yelled flipping his trap card up which protected him from any damage at all. Paul roared with anger. "Face it! You have no will of winning you might as well give up!" He yelled. Allen smirked.

"Now whose getting angry. You're so tempted to win this duel! But I won't let you!" Allen yelled drawing his next card. Allen was ready to defeat Paul once and for all now. As Allen drew his card he glanced at it and gasped.

"Solemn Night... The card Yami gave me incase I was in trouble" He thought as he set it face down. He then looked up at the field. "Go! Dice Roll!" He yelled as the golden dice flung into the air and then to the ground, landing on a 2.

Sobek's attack points risen to 11000. "Now! I sacrifice 2000 to raise Ra's attack power!" Paul yelled as Paul started glowing. Ra also started to glow an it's attack points grew to 11000.

I was not going to be easy trying to destroy Ra but Allen had to come up with some way. For Solemn Night to work Allen would need the help from one monster.

Allen ended his turn. Paul smirked and drew his next card. "Now! Millennium Attacker! (700/1200)" He announced. Allen looked at the monster. "It must have an effect... he would have summoned it in attack mode if it wasn't important" Allen thought as Paul ended his turn.

Allen drew his next card. "Now! Dice Roll!" Allen yelled as the dice flew up into the air and landed on a 1. Sobek's power grew to 12000.

Allen's life points stood at 650 and Paul's at 200. Allen was in the lead after Paul sacrificed life points. Allen looked at Millennium Attacker, a little similar to Vultra Cannon. Allen decided not to attack but end his turn.

Paul drew his next card. "Now! I'll play this magic card, Question!" Paul yelled as the magic card flipped up. "Question?" Allen said in confusion.

"Yes, so tell me, what's the first monster that is at the bottom of my deck?" Paul asked smiling evilly.

"This must be it's effect... let's see.... He played Glade Dragon... which was destroyed.... god.... how can I figure out if i can't look in my graveyard" Allen said looking at his graveyard holster. Finally Allen came up with answer. "heh! No wonder your in for it! You're wanting one of your strongest monster and it's Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

"Wrong!" Paul yelled. "It's Veritice Magma!". He started to laugh.

Suddenly the fire beast started to form onto the field. Paul knew Allen wasn't good with remembering things and it led Paul to have the ultimate power of Ra. "No!" Allen said in shock.

"Now! I sacrifice my two monsters!" Paul yelled manically as the two monsters turn into two glowing yellow orbs. The orbs flew within Ra then fire surrounded it, turning it into a burning phoenix. "Soul Energy Max!" He announced as Ra's attack points started to increase.

"Heh" Allen laughed as Ra's attack strength maxed over it's limit.

"Ra! (*0/0*) Attack!" Paul yelled pointing his finger at Sobek.

Ra's fire blaze grew bigger, almost reaching the audience. Then Ra flapped it's wings and the blazes fired themselves around Sobek.

"Reverse trap card!" Allen called out before the blazes struck Sobek. As the fire died down, Paul could see a slight shadow of Sobek still standing. "What?!" Paul said in shock as he felt sweat come down his face from the flames.

"You've fallen right into my trap!" Allen yelled as his trap card protected Sobek. "Solemn Night!"

"Solemn Night?!" Paul said too shocked to realize he was about to lose.

"Yes! This will summon up almost all my warriors!" Allen yelled as Guilford The Lightning (2800/1400), The Fiend Megacyber (2200/1200), Warrior of Freed (1200/1300), and Rocket Warrior (1500/1300) materialized onto the field. "This is your doom! Go! Dice Roll!"

Ra's attack points went back to 1100. The roll Allen declared landed on a 1 which he didn't care. "Now my army of warriors! Attack and Destroy!!!" He yelled as he pointed at Paul.

The warriors jumped up at Paul and Sobek unleashed a wild fury of purple waves at Ra. The warriors attacked Paul directly and Paul went flying off of the battle field. Ra was destroyed and his life points were reduced to 0.

"Yeah!!" Daniel yelled jumping off the high wall and onto the grass floor of the stadium. He started running over to Allen. Allen turned around and saw him coming after him. Daniel jumped up to the hologram field and gave him a hard high five.

"You were great!" Daniel said, surprised by the outcome of this duel. Mink, Jess, Sage, and Yami followed along.

Allen was too happy and shocked he'd actually won. "You were cool out there" Sage said putting up and thumbs up and winking.

Allen laughed too happy he'd come in 2nd place in DOMA Challenge.

Mink and Jess gave Allen some space, then Yami came up to him. "You did great. I'm proud of you, you used the trap card like I'd imagine you would. Good dueling" Yami said as he nodded his head. Allen nodded his head.

Paul slowly got up and tiredly walked over to the group. Allen saw the maddest look on his face but as he stood up to him he turned solemnly. "Here, a true duelist like you deserves this..." He said showing him Ra.

Allen took it and looked at it. "No, you keep it. This already has a great owner" Allen smiled and giving it back. "You did good, honestly."

"Then why do I have this" Paul said rolling up his sleeve showing the Oracle of Darkness. "Because you were meant to have it, like I have this" Allen replied, showing him the Oracle of Light.

Paul started to collapse but Allen caught him and held him up. "Whoa there, you need a rest. You've been at it with all your strength" Allen said. Daniel helped Paul over to the car which would take him back to the DOMA Tower for some rest.

Suddenly Daniel realized something. "I'm next, this duel will count for the whole world..." Daniel thought looking down at his Oracle around his wrist.

"Yeah bud, you're going up against this Vice who was able to defeat Paul!" Allen said.

"Heh, you beat Paul and your only a rookie" Mink laughed. Allen growled at her, but playfully.

Daniel took out his deck and slipped it in his steel disk. Suddenly Simon walked up to him. "Please come with me back to DOMA Tower" He said opening the car door for him. The rest followed but Simon stopped them. "Sir Vice strictly informed to keep his duel private, no others may watch"

"What?! That's cheap!" Allen yelled with anger.

"Yeah! Why can't we watch?!" Sage hissed.

"Under Roa's conditions" Simon said.

"Who cares! Let us come!" Jess yelled trying to break through him but he closed the door and locked it before Daniel could go out. Simon then slipped into the car and it drove off.

"Stop the car! Let me out!" Daniel yelled banging on the window.

"Now now, you wouldn't want to waste your energy for your final duels" Simon laughed. Simon's voice turned from dark and low to just plain evil- ish.

"Who are you really!" Daniel yelled banging on the glass which separated him from the driver. Simon turned around and looked at Daniel. He then pulled off a mask which revealed him to be Spinks.

"Enjoy this duel while it lasts because your friends won't be here to help you!" Spinks yelled.

Daniel sneered at him and Spinks sat back and relaxed as he steered the car.

Daniel thought for awhile. "Paul's going to do something about this... if he even knows about it" Daniel thought.

The car Paul was in pulled up to the DOMA Tower. Two security guards dragged him in. "Where do you want him?" One guard asked Vice.

"Throw him in the dungeon, he won't be helpful to us in a while" Vice snickered. He then held up a syringe with some kind of liquid green stuff in it. "Once I get rid of Dan, I'll have one of the strongest duelist in the palms of my hands"
