The doors opened, and Yugi found himself standing on a dueling platform,
Geno on the other side. To their side, his friends watched on.
"Yugi, we must use the heart of the cards to finish this quickly. I hope to defeat him before he can bring out his Greek Weapon card." Yugi nodded, and Yami shifted into place.
"Geno, you do not realize the danger in the card you hold. Please, give it to me now and avoid this battle."
Geno laughed. "I know too well the power. The question is, do you?"
"I doubt you understand. You are involved in a battle, one that has been fought for a long time."
Geno smiled. "You doubt my skills..or power?" He chuckled, and looked down at Raia. She too shifted to Kaikou. "You didn't tell him?"
Kaikou frowned. "Geno, don't do this."
"He started it." He looked at Yami. "Draw your cards."
Yami concentrated. "I need the heart of cards to aid me. Give me a monster to defeat him." HE drew, and his face went pale. "This can't be! Not a single monster card! And..and these spell and trap cards can't help me!"
Yami looked up to see Geno chuckle. "What is wrong, didn't get the cards you wanted? Well, draw again."
Yami looked at him n shock, but did as Geno suggested. But every time, he received the same cards.
"What kind of magic is this?"
"You don't know? I am sad that you don't remember me...pharaoh."
Yami gasped. "You.you know?"
Joey turned Kaikou around and shook her. "Who is this guy!?!?! What kind of trap did you lead Yug into?!?!"
Geno's eyes flashed. "Ask me that question, and let go of her." HE frowned. "Or I will make you let her go."
Joey looked up at Geno and sighed, letting Kaikou go. She gritted her teeth and looked up at him.
"I don't need your help."
"Don't argue with me Kaikou!"
Tristan arched an eyebrow. "Kaikou. Man, you must have hit your head or something. That's Raia."
Geno rolled his eyes. "You think Yugi is the only one with another spirit?" He looked at Yami. "Why do you keep this fool around? For his 'intelligence?'"
"That is enough Geno!" Yami shouted. "You seem to know a lot, and have much power. Now, reveal who you truly are!"
Geno nodded, and pulled up his tee shirt to reveal a sheath, the handle of a dagger protruding from it. Geno removed it, and the light glinted off it's golden surface.
"The 9th item."
"That is right pharaoh. I hold the 9th item." He chuckled. "For too long, you used the puzzle to draw what you needed. But no more. My dagger can severe the link between a person and anything I choose. And I have chosen your deck! That is, unless you swear to duel me fairly."
Yami sighed. "Then this match will be played with no magic." They both shuffled their decks. "But tell me, how did you get the dagger. Pegasus told me that Kappa Neo died in the dessert and the item was lost."
Geno once again turned to Kaikou. "You didn't even tell him that? My my, have you finally come to your senses?"
"What are you talking about?" Yami asked.
"Kappa Neo never died. He lived, and continued to live, cursed to be immortal, to watch all whom he loved die. And now...he stands before you."
Yami gasped. "You are Kappa Neo? You are the betraying general?"
"Betrayal is in the eyes of the beholder. But enough of this. I have waited long for you to come, and now, I shall finish what I started, and destroy you!"
*** Yami drew and looked over his cards. "The Dark Magician girl! Perfect. With her, I'll be able to take control quickly. Though...I don't know what Geno has. He could have a powerful monster.or a spell card. I'll need to protect myself till my next turn, and then bring forth my magician."
"I will set this monster in defense, and place this card on the field."
Geno nodded. "You are foolish to come here and battle a general. I am skilled in the art of war, and know how to lure enemies to my traps."
Joey pounded his fist on the ledge. "Man, just shudup and duel!"
"I will Summon Gearfried, the Iron Knight to the field. And now, I will activate Reinforcements of the Army, to search for a second monster and bring it to my hand." HE looked through his deck and smiled. "A piece falls into place. Now Gearfried, destroy Yami's face down monster!"
Yami let out a growl as the Feral imp was shattered. "So much for that idea." He thought bitterly. "Alright Geno, let's play."
"I will set this monster, and end my turn."
Geno sighed. "Not much of a challenge. I activate a second Reinforcements. Now my Iron Knight, destroy the face down card!"
It was Yami's turn to chuckle. "For a general, you aren't very good at enforcing your ranks. While you were building up your hand, you left your Iron Knight all alone against a deadly defense. Meet the Big Shield Gardna." (Geno-3200)
"But your monster is now in attack."
"True. But I will simply tribute him to summon, THE DARK MAGICIAN GIRL!"
"Way to go Yug!" Joey called out as the female spellcaster destroyed the knight. "You have this one in the bag." (Geno-3000)
"No Joey, Yugi is in trouble."
Joey looked at Kaikou. "What are you talkin' about? Yug there has set up the big blowhard, and nothing can stop him."
Kaikou looked at Yami sadly. "Watch, and see."
"Yami, you have fallen into my trap. For the last 2 turns, I have searched for the 2 cards that will destroy you. And now, I shall reveal them. I summon the Marauding Captain!"
Yami watched a horn bellowed, and a grand warrior rushed forth. He had faced a Marauder before, and knew it's powers.
"What monster are you brining out Geno? Asnother Gearfried?"
"NO. I will summon a second Marauder!" Yami watched as a second warrior joined the first, and both braced themselves.
"Geno, your warriors are strong in effect, but now you have used up all their usefulness. You should have summoned a strong monster to the field to attack me, but you wasted it's effect. I summon the Dark World Swordsman. Attack!" Yami watched the warrior raise it's blades to deliver the blow, only to be stopped by the second marauder. "What?"
"Yami, you fool! My marauders have a second effect. When one is on the field, all other warriors can't be attacked. But with two."
"Both are protected."
"Correct. And now you have wasted your turn." He laughed wickedly. "And your monster. I activate Lightning Blade! Now my marauder, destroy the dark world swordsman."
Yami watched as one Marauder charged his blade with lightning, and let loose an attack, destroying his own warrior. (Yami-3800)
"I will activate Dust Tornado, and destroy the blade."
"That's all? Ha! I thought you were the king of games. But I guess they'll let anyone win the title. I summon Exiled Forces."
Tristan looked at the rough and tough band of warriors. "For a general, you sure do have weak warriors Geno."
Tea nodded. "I mean, Yami still has his Magician, what can that little army do."
Geno looked at them. "More than you know. I activate the Exiled Forces special effect."
"And what is that?" Yami asked.
"The forces may go to the graveyard, taking one of your monsters with them. And guess what, I only have one choice!"
"NO!" Yami called out as the forced picked up the Dark Magician Girl. She kicked and hit her attackers, but they merely laughed, dragging her to the graveyard.
"Hot time in the old cemetery tonight. Now my Marauders, attack!"
"Revel my down faced card, Magic Cylinders!" Geno let out a angry yell as one attack was fired back at him. But the other still connected. (Yami- 2600, Geno-1800) "Your losing lifepoints quickly Geno. And you will lose more soon. But first, I must insure that you will not get to my lifepoints. So I summon Kuriboh."
Geno laughed. "I'm so scared. I will now activate Warrior Returning alive. And I choose the Exiled Forces, which I will summon back to the field."
"Well, use it's effect."
"I don't think so. I chose instead to activate Fusion Dagger! This magic card will fuse 2 monsters together. And I will fuse my Marauder with my Exiled forces to summon, THE BLITZKRIEG COMMANDER!"
"Yugi, we must use the heart of the cards to finish this quickly. I hope to defeat him before he can bring out his Greek Weapon card." Yugi nodded, and Yami shifted into place.
"Geno, you do not realize the danger in the card you hold. Please, give it to me now and avoid this battle."
