Joey looked at the strangly dressed spllcaster. "That don't look like any zombie I know." "This spellcaster is the master of zombies, as am I and my son. Now my Dezard, destroy his marauder!"

Joey watched as his captain fell to the wizard, who began to glow and chant. "What is he doing?"

"You shall soon see." Marrow said sternly.

Joey looked at his cards. "Perfect," He thought, "I have Blast with chain and Kuni with chain on the field. With these, I can take out his Dezard and leave him wide open."

"I will se thtis card and end my turn." Joey said, trying to hide his smile.

Marrow merely shrugged. " I summon poison mummy inattack mode. Now my Dezard, attack!"

"I don't think so! While you were worried about getting your Dezard out, I have been setting traps to counter him. And now, I will stop your mummy. Activate Kuini with Chain. Watch as your spellcaster is trapped!"Joey nodded his head as his Sasuke threw the cahin. But to his shock, Dezard destroyed it. "WHAT?!?!?!"

"There is a reason why I choose Dezard. He is more powerfull then you can imagine. When he destroyed your marauder, he took his life force, and channeled it into a spell, to block all magic and trap cards that could effect him. Now my spellcaster, complete your attack and begin your final spell!"

They all watched as Dezard destroyed the Samurai, and began to glow with a dark light, he sunk into the ground.

Yami looked at Kaikou. "What sort of magic is this?"

Kaikou gulped. "I fear what it is. Geno told Raia of a card, that could only appear with the aid of a spellcaster. HE said only the most skilled duelist could summon it. I believe Marrow has done just that."

A card appeared and Joey looked at it. "That's it?"

"Attack it if you want. But first, Poison mummy?" (Joey-3000)

"I think your bluffing. That ain't a scary monster, it's just your beast, wating to perform a spell. So, I will let it wait, and set this monster in defense." Joey set the card down with a satisfied nod.

Marrow began to laugh. "You are a complete moron. Now I know you cheated my son. I will now reveal y ultimate zombie. Arise, FUCHIOH RICHIE!!!"

Joey watched n fear as from the ground a great skeleton arose, clothed in tattered cloaks and a broken staff it looked at him with it's piercing gaze. Old gray muscles clung to it's bones, and in it's dead eye sockets burned flames of red, like hell had been trapped inside it's brain.

Geno sipped his soda. "I love it when the monster finally appears! And sucha grand enterance!"

***

Marrow laughed. "Do you realize the error in your not attacking? Everytime my monster returns face up, it brings with it a fallen zombie. Say hello to the Pyrimid Turtle!" He smiled. "But it gets worse. For in this turn, I had drawn the card I needed, the SPEAR OF HADES!"

Joey watched as from the ground arose Hades (and not the one that Bakura played. This was the greek hades), who threw to the zombie king his spear.

"What does that do?" Joey asked.

"The spear allows me to summon one of your fallen monsters to the field withan attack zero the next turn. So beware Joey, soon a zombie will arise, and will be the death of you." HE paused. "By the way, don't try and ue a magic or trap card on my Fushioh, it kept it's effect from it's Dezard form.

Joey looked at his hand. He had nothing he could play that could stop Richie.

"Wait! That might just work!" He thought. HE knew it was a risk, but if he played it right, it would insure his win.

"I will set this card down, and activate Ragiki Break. I will sicard one card to destroy your Mummy."

Marrow laughed. "Please. My Fushioh is the main danger. And with my Spear of Hades, I will draw out an easy target for him. Now, end this game, and bring forth our victim!"

Joey crossed his fingers as three cards appeared. The Fushioh aimed the spear, and destroyed one. Joey watched as it materialized.

"YES!" Joey called out, dancing around.

Tristan sighed. "IT's finally happened, he lost his mind."

Joey looked at Tristan. "No. I just own the duel."

Marrow smirked. "How so?"

"You struck the monster I discarded last turn, The Ogre Slayer."

Marrow paused. "What does that do?"

"When he is attacked by a monster with an attack and defense higher than 2000, all apposing monsters are destroyed."

"NO!" Marrow screamed as his monsters slowly faded away.

"And now it is time to end this duel. Like your son Bonz, you fail to move on. You dwell in old ideas, which causes you to stop learning. I activate the Bow of Apollo on my final moster, Gearfried!"

Gearfried took the bow from Apollo, and with 3 arrows ended the duel.

"Now, give me the Greek Weapon card."

Marrow stepped towards him, but suddenly grabbed Tea and pulled out a knife. "I will not allow you to cheat me like you cheated my son!"

HE readied his blade, but suddenly stopped. Joey tried to move to stop him, but found,a s did everyone else, that he was frozen in place.

Yami watched as Geno leapt from the house, his dagger glowing. He walked up to Marrow and took his deck.

"I warned you about touching the women, and now that you have failed me and broken our pack, I shall allow you to join your son!"

"Don't do it Kappa Neo!" Yami shouted, but Geno sspun the dagger, and with a scream, Marrow was trapped in the shadow realm. Geno Picked up his duel disk, and with a slight glare at Yami, put the Spear of Hades in Joey's hand, and walked away, Marrow's deck in hand.
