Kaiba stood there, letting the people look at him and the duel. He crossed his arms and looked only at the boy.
The girl has a St. Joan. Not bad. But the boy....he has something else. Yes...his Jinzo and Barrel Dragon. A nice combination, but can he summon out his Barrel Dragon on time? The boy does have what it takes to become a great duelist, but he lacks the one thing. Hopefully he will find it out soon.
Kaiba smiled as the duel began. After the boy played his first card, Kaiba frowned and looked at the girl wanting to see what she would do. She ended up playing the Happy Lover with a Horn of Light. Kaiba shook his head softly and continued to watch the duel. Studying each person's moves to see what they would do.
"Hah. I equip my Happy Lover with the magic card Horn of Light. Her Defense raises to 1300, just enough to protect against your Gradius' 1200 attack points." she smiled, looking all proud that she was able to defends against his monster card.
"Hmmm, nice move." John nodded as he reached down and pulled a card out of his deck. Taking a look at it, he smiles as lays it down beneath his Gradius card. "I equip Gradius with 7 Completed and increase its attack points to 1900. And I also summon my Darkfire Soldier # 2 onto the field. My Darkfire Solider destroys your Happy Lover and Gradius attacks your life points directly. Bringing you down to 6100 Life Points."
The girl, whom she had named herself Fae because of her extended usage of Fairy type monsters sighed and nodded as she tossed her Happy Lover and Horn of Light into the Graveyard pile. Reaching over he plucks up another card and lays it face down on the table in defense position.
"I play one card, face-down in defense. And I set another card face-down." she says and looked up at him with her face emotionless.
Raising a brow, he eyed the cards curiously and sighed as he reached over and drew another card from the pile and looked at it. He didn't trust that face down card of hers and set down one card, face-down in the magic / trap card field. He was carefully since that card probably had a high defense he eyes it carefully before he finally nods and sends his card on the attack.
"I attack your face-down card with Gradius." he says and watches her.
She smiles wide as she flips over her face down card. "You just attacked my Forgiving Maiden whose defense is 2000. You lose 100 Life Points and brings yourself down to 7900."
After John passes his turn, she smiles as he reaches over and plucks out the card from her hand. There was a bright smile on her face as she looked at the card and then back over to John. Taking one card from her hand she holds it up and slowly turns it around to reveal it. It was her Polymerization card and John knew she had the exact other card that she needed in her hand.
"I play Polymerization and fuse together my Forgiving Maiden and Marie the Fallen One. And together they create..." she reaches over to her Fusion area and pulls out her fusion card. "...St. Joan! And now I also equip her with the Black Pendent and raise her attack points by 500. And last but not least, I summon Gemini Elf onto the field. St. Joan attacks your Gradius and Gemini Elf attacks your Darkfire Soldier."
John looked down at the field and saw that all of his monsters were now gone from the field. As he looked over he looked at his deck and sighed as he kept his game face on. Trying to keep it as emotionless as ever. That St. Joan and Gemini Elf could decimate his Life Points completely if he didn't draw the card that he needed. Holding the top card he pulls it down and looks at it close before turning back to her.
"What? Didn't get the card you need Machine Boy? I knew that no one could defeat my Fairy-type deck. Everyone always under estimates me. Now I'll get to go to the Kaiba Tournament and win an Egyptian God Card." she said with a cocky grin on her face.
John only looked at the cards in his hand and smiled softly before turning it around. "I don't think so. I'm going to play three Magic cards. First one is..Change of Heart." he sets it down on the field and reaches over, taking her St. Joan and setting it down on his side of the field.
"So? St. Joan will only work for you for one round. Next turn I get her back." she said with a grin and sighed, hating the fact that her card was being used against her.
"No she won't. Because the game ends this turn. You forgot my second Magic Card...Soul Exchange." he flips it over on the field and puts her Gemini Elf on the graveyard area. "With Soul Exchange I get the sacrifice one of your monsters in place of my own. So I will use the sacrifice to summon my favorite monster...Jinzo!"
Fae looked over shocked as she saw John play his Jinzo card on the field and also have her St. Joan on his side of the field. With no more monsters on her side of the field, her Life Points were completely open. Nothing to defend her which could mean instant lose to her. Her Fairy monsters had failed!
"Oh no." she said breathed as she stared at the cards.
"And not I equip your St. Joan with Malevolent Nuzzler. With your Black Pendent already attached to it, this increases her attack to 4000. Now...with no monsters on your side of the field, St. Joan and Jinzo attack your Life Points directly. Bringing you down to 0." he smiles as she just stares blankly at the table.
"I....I....I lost..." she stammers as she stares at the table still.
The room erupts in cheering as John stands up with Tea holding his arm up to cheer with the rest of them. She knew that he could do it and tried to say so, but John was just standing there, smiling with a little look of disbelief on his face. He had actually defeated the last challenger. He won and he was going to be going to the Kaiba Virtual Reality tournament!
He smiles and laughs as he hugs Tea. Chuckling he turns and sees Seta Kaiba Jr. just watching him with a seemingly emotionless face. Giving him a friendly smile he turns and takes up his Forge deck and sets it back in its case as Tea went into the back get the invitation for him.
Kaiba gave a little silent clap.
"Please, Fae, don't be sad. You just didn't get the right cards on time. Remember, no deck is unstoppable. But please, come to the tournament. Just like I ask everyone else. Come to Kaiba land next week and see who advances to test out my knew Virtual Reality game."
Kaiba smiled at everyone then walked out. He walked up to his limo and got in. The driver turned his head slightly.
"Sir, you have a duel in twenty minutes."
"Thank you Samuel."
Kaiba pulled out his deck and looked at it. His almighty Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was on the bottom. The foil image was shimmering brightly. He smiled and put his deck back into his trench coat.

Twenty Minutes Later, Back at KaibaLand
A thin man was standing on a dueling platform. His hair was spiked back and platinum blond. He had the cockiest smile on his face as he was shuffling his deck. Kaiba walked up and pulled his deck out of his trench coat and set it down. He pulled off his trench coat and handed it to Samuel to tuck it under his arm. Kaiba's muscular arms were showing now. His almost see-through muscle shirt showed off his chest muscles and abs. Kaiba fixed his leather bracelets on his wrists and started to shuffle his cards. He set them down and neither of them decided to cut the others decks. The massive screens outside of the Kaiba Land building were showing the duel. As were the Kaiba Dueling channel where it showed nothing but Duels all day long. The blond man grinned and picked up 5 cards as did Kaiba.
"Losers go first, so play." said Kaiba demandingly.
"Alright. Then here goes. I play The Bistro Butcher in attack mode, and I set this card face down."
He put a card in the magic/trap area. Kaiba sighed and set three cards face down on the magic/trap area. He then played a monster in attack mode.
"I place the Lord of D. card in attack mode and my turn is over."
"Hah! That is much weaker then my Bistro Butcher. Bistro Butcher, attack him!"
" You fool! Have you forgotten the cards I placed?"
"Wha..what?!"
"I equip my Lord of D. with Axe of Despair, which raises it to 2200 atk power. Aren't you just the idiot? Not only do you lose your Bistro Butcher, but you lose 400 life points as well. Too bad. Prepare for the first part of the rest of your life."
Kaiba picked up a card from his deck and put it into his hand.
"I play one magic card. Can you guess which one?" Kaiba said with a very hostile voice.
"Noooo, you can't!! It's not possible!!" the boy's voice squeaked out.
"Oh, but I can! I play Flute of Summoning Dragons! And can you guess which ones? By the look on your face I bet you do. I summon two Blue Eyes White Dragons!"
He put them down on the machine and two massive Blue Eyes appeared on the holofield, letting out a loud roar that shook the place. All the people on the outside looked extremely scared as well.
"Oh my god! Kaiba Jr. is SOOOOOOO hot!" screamed out a teenage girl. Her and her friends were hugging each other, talking about how cool he is.
"But, should I attack, or not? Hrm...might as well. Blue Eyes, attack his life points directly!"
The Two Blue Eyes Dragons let out their giant blasts and the boy grabbed the dueling machine to be stay upright from the air that was blasted all about. His life points were now at 1600. The boy stood up but extremely shakily.
"This...is impossible. You really are vicious. I want out of this duel!" he screamed in horror.
"You are the one who challenged me! You can't back out now. Or do you want to be disgraced forever? Everyone is watching us now. But I guess it's true. You are a coward."
"No..no...I'll go on."
"Good, because I also place this card in defense mode and that will end my turn."
It was the Harpie's Brother. The guy looked extremely scared. He picked up another card and looked at it. He swallowed hard and set it down in defense mode. It was the Millennium Shield.
"That...that should protect me."
"Mmm, good choice. Too bad it isn't going to do you any good."
Kaiba picked up a card and smiled widely.
"This, has just sealed your fate. I use the magic card, Change of Heart to take your Millennium Shield!"
The millennium shield changed positions on the field to Kaiba's side.
"Wow, my entire monster field is filled up. I gotta make some room. And I think I will do it with this card."
He pulled out a card from his hand and showed the guy.
"This Fusion Sage will allow me to search for a polymerization card in my deck. Are you scared? Because you should be."
Kaiba set the Fusion Sage in the graveyard and searched his deck for the polymerization card and pulled it out. He put it in his hand and shuffled his deck again.
"Is your turn over now?"
"Far from it my friend. It's only just begun. I now, sacrifice the millennium shield and my Harpie's Brother to summon my third Blue Eyes!"
The Harpie's Brother and millennium shield turned into smoke and flowed up into the air, giving shape to the third and final Blue Eyes. It let out a loud roar and the three blue eyes looked menacingly at the guy.
"Here, is the finale of my turn. I use this polymerization card on my three blue eyes to summon the all powerful BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!!!"
Three Blue Eyes started to meld together as Kaiba pulled out the card for the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon and set it on the field. He moved the three blue eyes to the graveyard. The gigantic Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon let out three blood curling roars. Even the people watching were horrified by this.
"You're lucky my Dragon can't attack right now. If he could, you'd be decimated. My turn....is over."
"Oh God....oh god...oh god....I play uh...this card...."
.He flipped over a magic card and exposed it to be the Swords of Revealing Light. The Swords only went around the Lord Of D. and not his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
"No..that..that...can't be...."
"Have you forgotten that my Lord of D. protects all of my dragons from traps, magic, and monster effects? You truly are stupid and your turn wasted. For I know you have no other playable monsters. It's my turn now. Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, DECIMATE HIM!!!!"
The dragon inhaled a large breath of air right before it let out three Neutron Blasts that formed together to one massive beam. It struck him directly, sending the guy flying back into the wall and his cards were flown everywhere. Kaiba laughed and picked up his cards and put them back into the holster at his side and put on his trench coat that Samuel had handed back to him.
"Let that be a lesson to you."
Kaiba left and the screen went black for a second as an announcer was seen on the screen.
"That had to be one of the most devastating matches ever seen! Wasn't it just breathtaking? For more news though, Kaiba Jr. has announced that his Virtual Reality Tournament will take place one week from today and all the winners who have won the different mini tournaments around the city will be given the special invitation to attend. Although it is open to everyone, only these special invitations allow the holders to actually compete. So upgrade those decks and play your hardest. Good luck all!" The woman's face fizzled out and it showed the match all over again.
