Roa had been doing nothing but stamping papers through the morning. The crowd had finally ducked down and he had work to do. Suddenly he felt the Orichalcos Seal glowing on his fore head. He looked out the large window behind him. Suddenly the seal appeared onto the window. He got up and slowly walked through the seal into another secret passage way.

Inside the secret room were candles. "Now the ritual will start" Roa said in his mind as he stepped into the middle of the bundle of candles.

He held out all 6 glowing stones out into the middle. Suddenly each color spread through the candles. The candles unleashed a green glow to each candle, forming the Orichalcos Seal.

"Now, I perform thy ritual to summon the almighty warrior of Orichalcos" He mumbled. Suddenly the green glow formed into a giant soldier in thick armor and a hideous face. It held a strange duel disk blade on it's arm.

"Now, you will obey me" Roa smiled.

The score settled at Jess: 2750 and Bakura: 1700. Bakura had been at a downfall until he successfully activated two of his strongest magic cards, Dark Spirit of The Sanctuary which allows me to equip to different monsters and decrease their owner's life points by half of the attacking monster equipped to it and gained the other half to the owner of the magic card.

Bakura smiled as he drew his next card. "Now! I summon another monster in defense mode" Bakura announced. He had now two defense monsters down. "I then end my turn"

Bakura could see the dark spirits flying around the field while Jess couldn't see them at all. Jess drew her next card. "Now! I sacrifice my Ghost Duke for Death Reaper! (1300/1200 +500)" Jess yelled as the black coated monster materialized onto the field with it's long scythe."This monster gains 300 attack points per monster on your field! Giving it 600 extra attack power! (1900/1200)Plus since I discarded my Ghost Duke, your Dark Spirit is destroyed! Now Death Reaper attack his defense monster!"

"Peh yeah right" Bakura smirked. Suddenly the dark spirit emerged from Death Reaper and flung itself at Jess. Jess was confused and knocked into pain as the dark spirit attacked her directly, reducing her life points to 1550 and Bakura's life points increasing to 2900.

"What?!" Jess said confused to why the dark spirit was still alive.

"This equipment magic card is like no other. It can't be destroyed when a monster equipped to it is destroy so it's useless!" Bakura laughed.

Jess couldn't do anything so she ended her turn. Bakura drew his next card. "Now! I play Forbidden Ritual which allows me to sacrifice all my monsters on the field to summon one from my hand (Death Reaper: 2100/1200)" Bakura announced as he held a card in his hand. "Now I summon Black Cape Zombie! (2500/1200 +500) Now! Attack her "

"Now! I reveal my face down card Nuetron Bomb!" Jess smiled as she flipped her card over. Bakura gasped in anger as her trap card flipped over. "Believe it or not there is always an easy way to destroy magic cards!"

Suddenly the Black Cape Zombie stopped in it's tracks and a missile fired from the card and destroy all of Bakura's Dark Spirits. Jess could see the dark spirits lift off of her two monsters.

"Errr... You'll pay for this but to make things hard, I place a monster in defense mode and place 2 cards face down!" Bakura announced and ended his turn.

Jess drew her next card. "Now! Dark God Hades! Attack his defense monster!" She yelled. The demon sent a black wave at the defense monster, destroying it.

"Now! Activate Dark Spirit of The Sanctuary!" Bakura yelled with pride.

Jess gasped as she saw it was another Jurugen Re-Dead (1400/1200). Bakura could see the dark spirit flying around but he kept it to himself, knowing she wouldn't be able to attack with a monster stronger than either one of her monsters.

Jess had nothing to do so she placed all her monsters into defense mode and end her turn.

Bakura drew his next card. "Now! I play a card face down and end my turn!" Bakura announced.

Jess drew her next card and smiled. "Now! I play Dark Jeroid! (1200/1500 +500)" She announced. Suddenly a horrible blue demon appeared onto the field. "This monster reduces a monster on your side of the field by 800!"

Suddenly Black Cape Zombie started to glow and it's attack points reduced to 2200. Bakura growled, mentally commanding his Dark Spirit to go into one of Jess' monsters.

"Now! Dark God Hades attack his Black Cape Zombie!" Jess yelled. Jess expected that the dark spirit would have gone into Hades but he luck came out and it attacked the zombie, destroying it and reducing Bakura's life points to 2150. "Now, Death Reaper attack his life points directly! (1800/1200)"

"Now Dark Spirit!" Bakura yelled. Suddenly Jess gasped as the spirit bursted out of the Death Reaper, charging it's way at her. Jess screamed as her life points reduced to 650 and Bakura's life points rose to 3050.

"I still have one monster left! Dark Jeroid! Attack his life points directly!" Jess yelled. The demon's eyes started to glow and it unleashed a dark fog at Bakura. Bakura keeled over on his knee feeling the damp pain as his life points reduced to 1350.

The score was now Bakura: 1350 and Jess: 650. It was a tense duel now. Bakura had no monsters and only his Dark Spirit of The Sanctuary up on the field. Jess had her Dark Jeroid (1700/1500), Dark God Hades (2950/1600), and her Death Reaper (1800/1200) on the field.

Bakura drew his next card. "Now! I activate The Dark Door. This makes it so that only one monster may attack per turn" Bakura smiled and ending his turn.

Jess drew her next card and looked at her hand.

"Let's see... She'll never expect me to take over that monster" Bakura smiled as he saw his Dark Spirit emerge into one of Jess' monsters.

Jess looked at the card she drew. "Now! I set two cards face down and end my turn!" Jess yelled.

Bakura got impatient. He drew his next card and ended his turn. Jess then drew her next card. "Here it goes..." She thought. Jess had a feeling Bakura would go for her strongest monster. "Now! Dark Jeroid attack his life points directly!"

"Right into my trap! Dark Spirit! Attack her directly and win me this duel!" Bakura laughed.

"Not so fast! You forgot my face down cards!" Jess yelled. She could see the Dark Spirit charge itself at her quickly. "Now I activate Solemn Wishes which gains me 500 life points every time I draw"

"What's the use of that!" Bakura laughed.

"Because it'll keep me in the duel once I activate this! Jar of Greed!" Jess yelled as her trap card flipped up. Jess quickly snatched the card on top of her deck and sparkling rain dropped on her, gaining her 500 life points, adding up to 1150.

"But still my Spirit will attack you!" Bakura yelled as the spirit tackled her. Jess yelped in pain as she was pushed back, her life points reducing to 250. Bakura's life points hand increased to 2250.

Bakura laughed, knowing he had the upper hand against her. In a few turns he'd take her down, steal her soul, and be the first to succeed in taking an Oracle and making Doom closer to Earth's demise.
