The score was now at Mink: 1200 and Diego: 1700. Diego was still in the
lead after Mink destroyed two of many of Diego's strong machine monsters.
Mink now has her Android Psycho Shocker (2900/1500) and Genocide Android
(3400/2300) up on the he field. Diego was forced into defending his life
points, summoning another one of his Fortress Guards.
Another Conversion Token appeared on the field, increasing Genocide Android's attack points to. With 7 Completed attached to it, it was strong but Diego had his Band of Strength face up, stopping Mink's monsters from using their effects by sacrificing 2 cards from his hand every turn.
Diego drew his next card. "A monster in defense mode and I'll then set a card face down" He announced. "I'll then play Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards and sacrifice them both to keep Band of Strength up. I'll then end my turn"
Mink drew her next card. "Now! I'll summon my second Conversion Token on the field!" Mink yelled as a small machine appeared. Genocide Android didn't get the bonus because of Diego's Band of Strength. "Now! Android Psycho Shocker! Attack his defense monster!"
The android held it's hands together and fired a cyber energy last at the defense.
"Now! I activate my Spellbinding Circle, keeping your monster from attacking!" Diego yelled as the trap card flipped up, unleashing a hex ring on the android and paralyzing it. Mink had a bad feeling. With Genocide Android as her strongest monster on the field, Diego could have something else instore for it. She then ended her turn.
Diego drew his next card and smiled. "Now! I sacrifice my defense monster, Mecha Soldier, to summon Cyborg Freed (1500/1200 +500), in attack mode" He announced. "I'll then end my turn"
Mink drew her next card. "Now! Genocide Android! Attack his Cyborg Freed!" Mink yelled, knowing it'd now be an easy win.
Suddenly the Cyborg jumped away and dodged the blast from the android. Mink looked in confusion.
"Like Fortress Guard, Cyborg Freed can't be attacked or destroyed when in face up attack mode" Diego smiled.
Mink growled and ended her turn. Diego then drew his next card. "Now! I place a card in defense mode and summon Lady Cyborg in attack mode (1300/1050 +500)" Diego announced. "And I'll use this magic card, Limiter Reducer!"
"What?!" Mink said shocked.
"Limiter Reducer destroys anything that gives free life points, like your Conversion Tokens and 7 Completed!" Diego yelled. Suddenly all the tokens were destroyed along with Mink's 7 Completed.
Mink growled as her Genocide Android was reduced to 2700, it's original attack points (With the added bonus of the Orichalcos Seal).
"He still can't destroy my monsters..." Mink thought.
"Now! I play this magic card, Metal Armor!" Diego yelled as he placed his magic card down. "This will increase my Cyborg Freed's attack power by 1000"
"no!" Mink said in her mind as Cyborg Freed grew to 3000.
"Yes! Now! Cyborg Freed attack her Android Psycho Shocker!" Diego yelled. The Cyborg held it's arms up, shooting a round of missiles at the Android, destroying it and leaving Mink with 1100 life points. "Android Psycho Shocker is destroyed!"
Diego then ended his turn. Mink drew her next card, creating a Conversion Token. Diego had discarded two cards from his hand, keeping Band of Strength up. Mink placed a card face down and ended her turn.
Diego drew his next card. "Heh! Now I'll return a monster from my graveyard" Diego smiled evilly as he looked at Mink through his jet black Sun Glasses. Mink recognized Diego's Jacket. He was apart of a new team. So far, from what Mink heard, Darien, Rahn, and Bakura all wore the same jacket. On the back had the Orichalcos Seal on the chest and back of the jacket. It was a weird fashion choice but she didn't need to care now. Mink made a slight call
"Now! I activate Monster Reborn to bring back my Sky Fortress Ziggurat!" Diego yelled. Suddenly the fortress started to form. Diego gasped as the shock. "What?! Why is it on your side?!"
"Because all great decks know how to counter, I've built the ultimate counter! I've activated The Lie Detector!" Mink yelled. "This allows me to gain control of a monster over 3000 that you've summoned"
Diego looked in shock as the Sky Fortress, Ziggurat, stared into his very soul.
"How dare you turn my own monster against me! You'll pay for this!" Diego snapped as he held his hand into a fist.
Mink smirked and ended her turn. Diego took a deep breath and drew his next card. He smiled evilly. "Now it's my time to shine!" He yelled.
"What is it now...." Mink thought looking at the card he held in his hand.
"This is the card that'll end you! Now I activate The Ceremony of The Cyborg X!" Diego yelled as he placed the card onto the field.
Mink looked in mixed feelings of the strange Ritual Magic card. "What could he possibly be thinking..." She thought.
"This ritual can only be performed by sacrifice three special monsters, it's a shame you never bothered to figure out my plane in time because I have all the requirements right here!" Diego yelled as he pointed at his three monsters.
Mink gasped. "I've failed to figure it out.... I was so blind...." She mumbled.
"Now! I sacrifice Cyborg Freed, Lady Cyborg, and Fortress Guard in order to summon the strongest machine in existence! Cyborg 00X! (2000/2000 +500)" Diego yelled as all three monsters dissolved into pieces. Then the big light formed infront of him, forming into a giant human Cyborg. The skull cross cross it's forehead, the large cannons on top of it's shoulders, the chrome, gleaming armor it wore, and last but not least, it's glowing red eyes. "This monster will allow me to sacrifice a Machine type monster from either graveyards, I'll start by sacrificing my first Fortress Guard, gaining it 1000 attack points!"
Cyborg 00X's life points increased to 3500. Mink was zoned out by the machine monster. She couldn't stand against it. The huge machine, Diego's deck was really unstoppable.
Suddenly the Millennium Rod began to glow. Mink couldn't help but let it glow. "You really bring the power of the Millennium Rod in shame" a dark and evil voice spoke out. Mink looked up at the man in Egyptian clothing. His dark eyes met with hers
"What are you talking about" Mink said looking back down at the ground.
"I'm saying you don't even use the Millennium Rod anymore to aid you in your battles. You lost your touch, young one" He smirked.
Suddenly Mink realized it was the spirit of The Millennium Rod. "Shut up, you know nothing about me" Mink snapped.
"Oh really? How long have I been with you now? About a year and a half? Please! I've seen what's been going on in your life. If I were you, I'd wipe them all out" The spirit bellowed.
"And your saying I'm not doing a good job! Hello?! I've been trying it's you whose giving me a harder time!" Mink yelled.
"There are no hard times. It's you whose being hard on yourself" The spirit yelled. Suddenly he began to disappear, as he did a image of a Phoenix flashed in Mink's mind.
Mink looked back at the field, thinking. "I... I think he's right... I've been too hard on myself, my friends, everything. Who ever he is, he's just inspired me" She smiled and gracefully drew her next card. "Now! I'm here to bring you down!"
Diego laughed out loud. "Please! Now that I've got my strongest monster on the field, you have no chance of escaping the true power of my Cyborg!" He yelled.
"Really! I'd really like you to beat this, two cards down and I end my turn!" Mink announced.
"Very well!" Diego snickered drawing his next card. Suddenly he realized something. "She must have something set, I've got to destroy her before she tries anything"
"Make your move!" Mink yelled.
Diego felt chills. "Now! I activate Cyborg 00X's effect! I remove your Android Psycho Shocker from...." He went on.
"How would you when it'll be on the field! Now I reveal Call of The Haunted!" Mink yelled as her trap card flipped up. "This will allow me to revive my Android Psycho Shocker from my graveyard! (2400/1500 +500)"
"Fine! Instead I'll remove your Conversion Token to increase..." Diego went on. Suddenly Mink called out from her face down card.
"Now I activate Horoscope!" Mink yelled as her Quick Play Magic card flipped up. "By the call of a coin toss, I can end your turn right here and now!"
Suddenly a coin formed into the air. "Tails!" Mink yelled. Suddenly the coin flicked into the air, flipping and rotating. It then hit the ground, landing on exactly what Mink said, tails.
Diego growled, ending his turn.
Mink drew her next card and smiled. "Now I have proof I can destroy the worlds strongest machine type monster!" Mink yelled as she held her card up. "Now I activate Polymerization to fuse my Genocide Android and Android Psycho Shocker!"
Diego gasped as Mink stood there triumphantly as the card stated to form the two androids together. "How can this be?!" He stammered.
The two androids turned into two bright lights, forming together into one monster. "Now! I fuse them to create War Genocide! (3000/3000 +500)" She yelled as the incredible Android's armor and eyes gleamed in the light of the Orichalcos Seal.
