Yami watched as Bakura turned around to leave. How could he do this? A life is sake, and probably ours for that matter, what could I do? I couldn't possibly give up the puzzle, there was no way! But what other choice do I have Yami thought. Then it hit him! A duel! Bakura would never give up on the opportunity to duel him right?
"Wait" Yami yelled out. Bakura turned around smirking.
"Yes?" he said evilly. Yami looked at the tomb robber with such hate and disgust. How could anybody be so cruel? He asked himself.
"How about we duel?" Yami said matching the other Yami's smirk.
Bakura thought for a moment before answering.
"I already know you can beat me, why waste my time when I know you'll give me the puzzle anyways? I mean why risk losing it?" he asked. Yami starred at him. Bakura had a point, he couldn't force the guy to duel, and he knew just standing around was wasting time, and he couldn't afford that.
"Look Bakura, we need your help, and you will duel me because we need to help someone!" Yami screamed angrily to the spirit. Bakura laughed inside. He didn't dare laugh out loud, true he wasn't scared of Yami, but the way he looked right now, told him not to mess with him, so being the way he was he just stood there with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Well?" Yami said keeping his voice the same. He was getting irritated, and if Bakura didn't say or do something quick, he would.
"Fine" Bakura spat out. Bakura didn't know why he was giving in, it was so unlike him, but it wasn't like he had anything better to do right?
"Good" Yami said satisfied. Yami then took out his deck and then entered the cards in his duel disk, there he was ready. Bakura entered the house and grabbed his deck and duel disk and then walked back to where Yami and the others stood. He then put on his duel disk and put his deck inside, nodded to Yami that he was ready.
"It's time to duel," they shouted out loud. The duel disk lit up their life points, giving them each 4000LP. Yami pulled out five cards, and watched as Bakura did the same.
"I'll start" Bakura grinned. Yami looked at him strangely, but quickly shrugged it off; he wanted to finish this duel quickly.
Bakura drew a card and then started the duel. "I play The Gross Ghost Of Fled Dreams (1300/1800) in attack mode" Bakura yelled to Yami. Yami watched as the card came to life.
"Fine then. I play Gamma the magnet warrior (1500/1800), now attack his Gross Ghost!" Yami ordered the monster. As soon as those words escaped his lips the monster attacked Bakura's monster bringing his life points to 3800LP.
To Yami's surprise, Bakura said nothing at all. He's up to something he thought. "Someone wants to get this over with" Bakura said breaking Yami's thoughts.
"Just play" Yami growled.
"As you wish. I play The portraits Secret (1200/1500) in attack mode" Bakura said simply.
"You must really want to lose tomb robber. I play Gazelle, The King Of Mystical Beasts (1500/1200) in attack mode, now attack his monster," he said. When that monster finished off the portraits secret, he then had his magnet warrior attack Bakura's life points. Making Bakura have 2000LP and leaving Yami untouched at 4000LP.
Yami couldn't help but wonder, maybe he really did want to help them but was to proud to admit it. Bakura now with half his life points gone, drew his next card out. "I have a friend for you pharaoh. I play headless knight (1450/1700) in attack mode" he said grinning. "
I'll take that smile off your face Bakura when I attack" Yami said. When Yami's monsters were done attacking, they left Bakura with a measly 450LP.
"I have a surprise for you." Bakura laughed insanely.
"What do you mean?" Yami said arching his eyebrows.
"You fell for my trap, you see I needed to have three cards in the graveyard before I could summon a certain card" he said grinning." So. I play Dark Necrofear (2200/2800) and I think I'll keep you in suspense as to what this card does" Bakura laughed. Bakura still couldn't believe the pharaoh was so stupid, I guess I have improved he laughed to himself.
Yami growled rather loudly while drawing a card. "I sacrifice my Gazelle, so I can summon Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700) I also play Magic Formula bringing her life points to 2500, now attack Dark Necrofear" he yelled. Quickly as he ha said it, she attacked the monster easily, bringing Bakura to 150LP. Yami watched as Bakura laughed insanely. Shit, I fell into another trap! He yelled in his head.
"Yes Yami, you fell for my trap, you see I wanted you to attack it, now I activate my magic card Dark Sanctuary" he grinned. Yami watched as all around them a red fog surrounded where they were playing. "You should see your face pharaoh, its priceless! Oh and don't even think of winning now, you've fallen to well into my trap" he yelled evilly. "I really must thank you Yami" he grinned. Yami said nothing in return; anyways he was well in the lead.
"Bakura you must be forgetting you have only 150LP left and there's no monsters defending you." he trailed off, grinning evilly.
"Please pharaoh, my dark sanctuary will protect me from your attacks" Bakura said simply. Yami shrugged off his threats; he didn't really think to take the tomb robbers warning.
So like Bakura had planned, Yami tells his Magnet Warrior to attack, but as he does the evil ghost counters the attack
"He was possessed by my ghost" Bakura said simply. "Oh and when a possessed monster attacks, then half of your attack points are deducted from your life points and added to mine" he finished. Yami then watched his LP go down and Bakura's go up. Yami: 3250. Bakura: 900.
Yami growled quietly to himself, but he wasn't concerned with the attack. "I play Destiny Board" Bakura yelled to Yami. "You see the board? It is able to communicate with the lost souls from the shadow realm" Bakura started. Yami then watched as the board went to its first letter: F. "In the next four turns pharaoh it shall spell out a word, ending this duel" Bakura snickered.
"I play my magic card dark door, which makes you able to attack once per turn" Bakura said. "I also play Earthbound Spirit (500/2000), and I sacrifice as a tribute so that my evil ghost of Dark sanctuary will stay in play" Bakura said. They both watched as the monster disappeared, Yami knew he had to end this quickly if he wanted to win the duel, for Jessica's sake.
"I summon Kuriboh (300/200) in defense mode" he started. He needed that card incase one of Bakura's face down cards was a trap. "Now Dark Magician Girl attack" Yami yelled. But Yami wasn't lucky as he watched his attack counter again bringing Yami to 2000LP and Bakura happily at 2150LP.
"Oh did I forget to mention that the spirit possesses a different monster each turn?" Bakura laughed coldly. It was now Bakura's turn, making a new letter on the board: I.
"Bakura your so caught up in wining that you failed to realize that the duel disk has only five slots, and while your Dark Door is there, you can't put all five words down" Yami said. "
That's what you think, you see my Dark Sanctuary allows me to use my monster slots for more magic and trap card, so you shouldn't worry" Bakura said.
Bakura then summons Sangan (1000/600) so that he can maintain the effect of his Dark Sanctuary, for another turn he uses its effect to draw another monster from his deck before ending his turn. Yami tried to figure out which monster was possessed
"I play Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in defense mode. "Now Magnet Warrior attack" Yami yelled.
"Not so fast, I activate Dark Spirit of the Silent" he said forcing Yami's possessed Magician Girl to attack. Leaving Yami at 750 and Bakura at 3400.
Yami then sets two cards face down "Your ghost will be no more" Yami said smirking. Bakura laughed at the pharaoh and watched as the next letter came up: N.
"I will summon Souls of the Forgotten (900/200), an then sacrifice it for my ghost" Bakura said ending his turn. "Which monster should you choose, which monster should you choose" Bakura said teasingly.
"It doesn't matter Bakura because I activate my trap card Collected Power, now it will gather all the effects of equipment cards on to Kuriboh an now I activate Exile of the Wicked, which destroys Kuriboh and all equipped cards to it" Yami said. Bakura watched his ghost disappear, but he continued to smirk. He shall still lose in two turns he thought.
"I know play monster reborn, and return your dark Necrofear, making dark sanctuary gone" Yami said, confidence returning. "Now dark Necrofear attack Bakura's life points directly" Yami shouted, bringing Bakura all the way to 1200LP. Then Bakura's turn came up, making the next letter show: A. " The word you wish to spell is Final?" Yami asked.
"Yes" Bakura hissed.
"Too bad you'll never spell it" Yami said coldly. The duel had already taken a lot longer the he had expected, and now all he wanted was for it to end.
Bakura on the other hand was furious. How could this happen asked himself. He then drew a card, starring at the card Bakura laughed evilly. "I summon Jowgen the Spiritualist (200/1300)" he said. Why would he play that? Yami thought. Bakura knew what he was thinking so he decided to answer it. "You see Yami if I discard one card I can get rid of any monster which was specially summoned, and I think I'll pick. . .Dark Necrofear" Bakura said evilly.
They both watched as the monster vanished, bringing back Dark Sanctuary. "Well now that I have more room, it's not to long before the final letter comes up" Bakura grinned. "I then sacrifice Jowgen the Spiritualist (200/1300) so that my evil ghost will be revived" Bakura finished. Bakura then put one card face down and nodded for Yami to go.
Yami looked at the cards. He knew there was nothing he could do, he then put is hands hoping for a card that would win him this. He slowly pulled the card out; he looked at the card before him. "This duel is over! I sacrifice all three monsters so I can summon Slifer the Sky Dragon (X000/X000)" Yami smiled evilly, watching Bakura's face drop.
Bakura watched as the beast appeared in front of him. Well I don't have to worry; my ghost shall posses him Bakura thought. Bakura watched as his ghost flew up to the dragon ready to enter, but when it got close it was destroyed quickly. "You actually thought your pathetic ghost could control my dragon? Ha! Slifer finish this duel off," Yami yelled. The dragon obeyed, taking the rest of Bakura's life points.
"Now I think we had a deal Bakura?" Yami mocked.
"Yes you foul, I shall help you seek this mortal" Bakura hissed. "Tell me where the bracelet is" Bakura added. Then the ring started to shine brightly, blinding them all. When the light died down the ring pointed into the direction of the woods.
"This way" Bakura said stating the obvious.
"Okay then, let's go we don't have much time" Yami said. Yami, Seto, Joey and Ishizu followed the angry spirit into the woods, hoping that Jessica was well alive.
