DISCLAMER: OK. I'm back again telling you that I still haven't successfully taken over Pokemon or Yugioh. _'

CH. 4 Slifer the Sky Dragon

"So what're you doing in Petalburg woods? Asked Alicia as her Scyther returned to its pokeball.

"J-Just leaving!" Bakura said as he dashed towards the exit of the thick forest.

"We were not! It's not that much further, Bakura. We'll be out soon."

Alicia interrupted, "Plus, there aren't any more Scythers here, just Wurmples and Cascoons, and stuff."

"Oh really? I bet you 200 yen that there's at least one Pinsir, or a Heracross! I shudder to think!"

"Quit it, Bakura, the strong bug Pokemon come from the Safari Zone." DJ told him, reassuringly. "We're heading for Rustboro to earn myself a Stone basge."

"Ha! I've been on my journey a while, and I have 5 badges. It was a very odd greeting from Norman, though. He kept saying, "Leave now! Go an' getchya selves 4 badges, then come back!" (Alicia made a wonderful impression of how Norman talked.), I wonder why. He seemed frustrated like 100 more trainers came in that day without one or two badges."

"Aah, hehe." DJ laughed nervously. Changing the subject from the pressing fact that DJ hadn't earned a single badge, he asked, "Do you play Duel Monsters, Alicia?"

"In fact, I do. Wanna play?"

"Sure."

"Just to warn you, you won't win. I'll bet 300 yen on it."

"Fine. I, DJ, accept your challenge, and your bet."

"Good. Let the duel begin."

"Wait a sec. Bakura, wanna join and make it a three way duel?"

"No thanks."

"OK let's start!" "My turn first!" DJ said. "I play this Magic Card, Mystic Plasma Zone! It'll cover the field in a shroud of shadows and give all dark monsters a bonus!"

"Look at this, Alicia." DJ's bracelet began to glow, and made the card's picture expand in to the background. Like they were in the card, Mystic Plasma Zone.

"Whoa, how'd you do that?" Alicia was surprised at the sudden darkness.

"Yes, how did you do that?" Bakura asked, also surprised.

"I don't know. I somehow now just know how to use my Millennium Item." DJ said, sounding like he was questioning himself on how he did that. Alicia was lost and just decided to go along with it. DJ then just remembered what had happened with him and his Yami in the Bracelet. He knew it had to be kept secret, so he didn't show any difference in his expression.

"Anyways, I set one monster in defense Mode. And that ends my turn."

"Ha, yes! I summon Harpie Lady to the field, and play two cads face down! Do you dare attack?"

"What a lame bluff! I also play two cards face down, and sacrifice Sangan to set a new monster!" Bakura screamed as he opened his eyes, and Alicia was in awe. The monster that Alicia had summoned was hovering in front of her, and DJ's monster had been vaporized, and a horizontal facedown card had taken its place. DJ and Alicia's facedown cards had also appeared in front of them, in a vertical position. Alicia shook it off and continued the duel.

"Ugh. What a lousy card I just drew. Oh well. I'll pass."

"Big mistake." DJ said, setting another monster facedown defense mode.

"I also play another card face-down. And no attack, as you can see."

(Alicia thinking) "No, attacking would ruin him!"

"I know you want me to attack. You put that weak monster out to activate some amazing Trap card."

"Shows what you know! This monster may be weak now, but not for long! I play another defense mode monster, and end my turn." The field had two facedown monsters on DJ's side, accompanied by three Magic or Trap cards, and Alicia's side held two monsters, one in defense mode, and there were two cards behind them, and was still covered by darkness.

"My turn! I flip Cyber Jar! It destroys all monsters on the field, we then draw 5 new cards and special summon any level 4 or lower monsters."

"No! My Harpie Lady!"

"That'll be the least of your worries soon! I set four monsters!" said DJ as he put 4 more defense mode monsters on the field.

"Then I play 2! In attack mode! Dunames Dark Witch and Hysteric Fairy!"

"My turn's not over. I play my magic card, Heavy Storm! Now all magic and traps are destroyed. I then place one card facedown, and end my turn!"

"Good, then I summon Cosmo Queen by sacrificing my two monsters. And she'll attack your monster on the left!"

"Hold on! I activate Destiny Board! It may not stop your attack, but it will end the duel in five turns, in my favor! Behold the first letter! F!"

(Alicia thinking) "Dork! I also have Heavy Storm, and at the right time, I'll play it!" DJ's monster (which was Warrior Dai Grepher) was destroyed.

"My turn. To quicken things up a bit, I play three of these at one time! Time Turner! It advances the turn count by two; your's and mine, each. That's three full turns past, and for each turn past, my Destiny Board gains a new letter. It now reads, F,I,N,A! Just one more turn, and you'll lose! I'll just play one card in defense mode to end my turn."

Even before she could draw, Alicia screamed, "HEAVY STORM!"

"NO!!!!" DJ yelled as his Message was wiped from the field in front of him.

"Yes, and now, I'll win! Cosmo Queen! Attack the monster on the right!" DJ's Spirit Ryu was obliterated from the field in a rush of dark light.

"What'll I do?"

"Maybe you can start by drawing!"

"I know that, I mean what'll I do without Destiny Board!" DJ drew the card on the top of his deck, and looked at for a minute tiredly and stared at it.

"What is it? Play already!"

"What the? Where di-" DJ started, but was stopped as his Bracelet began to glow.

"Ha Ha. It's time!" Bakura and Alicia both noticed a change in DJ, and Bakura instantly remembered what had happened the night before. All except the fact that he too had a Yami.

"What's happening with DJ? Why does he look different?"

"I'm not DJ! I'm the soul that resides in the bracelet that is on DJ's arm. You remember me now, don't you, Bakura. I fought the evil spirit of your ring."

"You mean there's someone else inside me, too?"

"Yes, but yours is evil, unlike me."

"Mine's - evil? So DJ's dream wasn't a dream!"

"No! and now, I've saved DJ from the power of this next monster!" The sky darkened again, going light because Heavy Storm destroyed the Mystic Plasma Zone. Lightning sparked from above, and the card in DJ's Yami's hand glowed a bright red.

"The heavens twist and thunder roars, signaling the coming of this ancient creature, and the dawn of true power! I sacrifice Witch of the Black Forest, Grave keeper's servant, and Mask of Darkness, to summon my Egyptian God Card, Slifer the Sky Dragon!"

The Sky seemed to rip open as a huge red object came through. The Dragon God had two enormous mouths, one atop the other, and bright yellow eyes that gleamed in the lightning, that were mounted on a head with a scarlet shine, like the rest of its long, and sinewy body, which was covered with black horns. On lookers of the duel stood in awe and muttered things like, "is that a Pokemon?" "Whoa! What is that!" "Cool"!

"Wh-What's that?" Alicia fell back and dropped the few cards she held in her hand. The creature breathed and the cards on Alicia's field blew away, only to be retrieved by a spectator.

"Ha ha! Slifer the Sky Dragon! The one and only, and I mean that! It's a one of a kind card, an Egyptian God monster! Its ATK. power will crush you and your deck!" Alicia had a quick glance at the card on DJ's field. It was still surrounded by a glowing red aura.

"B-But its ATK. Is X000. What th-" she started another sentence, but DJ's Yami finished.

"The Attack power of Slifer the Sky Dragon is determined by the amount of cards in my hand. For Every card, Slifer gets 1000 Attack power. I now hold 4 cards. That means 4000 attack power. But wait. I play Pot of Greed! It allows me to draw two additional cards. So now I have 5 cards, which means 5000 attack power!"

(Alicia thinking) "So what? I have Raigeki, and Mirror Force on my field. His Egyptian God will never win him this duel." "Now! Slifer the Sky Dragon! Attack his Cosmo Queen!"

"Activate Mirror Force!" Alicia said, overlapping DJ's Yami's command.

"It's no use! Slifer and the other Egyptian God monsters surpass the weak power of magic and traps!"

"Other Egyptian Gods?"

"Yes. There are two more cards similar to this, also with great attack strength. I've yet to obtain them."

"Who are you?" Alicia asked, still staring at the God that stood before her.

"I'm a soul that resides inside the Millennium Bracelet that is attached to DJ's arm."

"I still don't understand."

"You don't have to! DJ and Bakura can tell you all about me and how I beat Bakura's other self. Slifer! Attack! And end this duel! Haha!" Slifer shot a stream of lightning from it's mouth that hit Alicia, but didn't cause any damage; It was a hologram created by DJ's Bracelet. All of the images brought out by the cards slowly disappeared, Slifer taking the longest. DJ's body controlled by his Yami picked up the cards, put them away, and the spirit returned to his Bracelet.

"I-I have Slifer the Sk-Sky Dragon!" As he was doing this, he rushed to look at his deck, but the God was missing. Bakura informed Alicia of DJ's Yami, and DJ informed Alicia about the dream he thought he had had, and Bakura's Yami. Alicia took all of it in quite slowly, and was fearful of their Yami's return. DJ didn't care much of his Yami's return, because he still thought it was not evil, and was more concerned as to where his Egyptian God card was.

"Look! It's the end of the woods!" Alicia said, looking back in the direction of the entrance.

"Finally! No more bugs!"

"This next gym's Pokemon can squash bugs, they're rock type."

"I'm only concerned if I have Pokemon that can squash bugs!" Bakura said, hopefully.
