SH: No words can explain my absence for this, so I came up with a
expression to sum it up. (x_x)
Drode: Basically, he ran into a brick wall. Multiple times. Then forgot what he was doing and scrambled for other areas so he could find ^gasp^ a job!
SH: Hey! It's your fault for not motivating me! (gets struck by the Almighty Fire Poker) Ow!
Drode: Hold still! I'll get you going no matter what! Oh, and SH doesn't own any of the characters in this either. Anime Survivor rocks! (chases SH around, stinging him repeatedly)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(The projector turns on and a small scene begins. It starts out with the usual stone tablets shown to Kaiba by Ishizu, but parts of them tear off and reattach to different sides to reveal new parts of the story.)
Drode: Authors came from the year 2014 A.D., the time when the giant asteroid Nemesis struck the earth with the force of a Hydrogen Bomb times ten. Most of them refer to it as "the cataclysm", a mysterious event that killed 9/10's of the human population. The radiation allowed the survivors to evolve into more "unique" species, and during it, gained them near- immortality. However, they were just starting to understand their portal creating ability, and "accidentally", were launched into the past version of Yu-Gi-Oh. When they were there, their only thoughts were to either change the world, protect it, or glomp all the bishies. This turned into the beginning of the Shadow Games.
What? Did you think that evil magicians made those monsters? Authors summoned those monsters without losing a bit of energy, in which evil soon corrupted a ton of them, seeing they were unbeatable and nearly god-like. Anyways, as soon as the recent pharaoh, Yugi, heard of a rebel group of Authors fighting against the corrupt ones, he instantly enlisted them into his elite army. They created seven new gods (formed from different TV shows), which united with the Egyptian gods, were strong enough to overpower the evil authors and banish their essence (their life force) into stone tablets, never to be opened again.
However, Yugi's trust was mislead, as a rogue author living in his palace freed a mystical demon that was said to kill over half the population of Egypt, leaving the author's to handle it. No one knows how they defeated it, but it lives on to feed off our lust and hatred. To this day, the holy battlefield was known as Yugi's Sorrow.
Yugi, however, wasn't so happy to see them alive, and banished them to the Shadow Realm for eternity. It was in there were the Blue, a race of sentient insects (which were not related to those in Blue Gender, as they were all centipede-type) who were immune to the Authors powers and began to slash them apart like paper. Luckily, the slingshot effect took it's toll on the portals, it launched them back where they wanted to be, Earth. Many authors chose to repopulate and get the industries going again. Once such industry was Globex Corporation, which towered over the cities they built. Multiple portals popped up throughout the world, in which the Authors used to make their own alternate worlds in which they ruled supreme.
They designed Toonami Duel as a way to remind the authors of the Pharaoh who spoiled their fun. Based on the now deceased Toonami, these monsters became real through summoning, and sometimes for tag-team battles. The Earth had also changed due to the author's powers, turning into a gaint contient so all of them could be in one place. 18 years later, a teen known as NocturneD has acquired a powerful artifact called the Horus Box, a box said to have the powers of the Pharaoh himself. And seeing that it was Globex's property, the forces of darkness will not rest until the ultimate power is in their hands, even if they have to hold a tournament in the reality that the present pharaoh now lives in...
Opening Song
Itsumade mo wasurenai Takusan no mono moratta ne Sora no iro utsushite hikaru aoi houseki ya
(The opening scene appears to be a happy meadow with dozens of authors, but after a few seconds, the sky becomes dark and flashes lightning)
koi no tachi hane mawaru hiroi ni wa ja nai motto motto daijina mono wo
(A pair of red eyes opens in the darkness as it launches a barrage of bolts, zapping several in their tracks. Two giant black hands reach down and snare some of the authors, silencing them permanently. However, a single card is launched and hit's one of the eyes, angering the beast. The person who threw it is none other than NocturneD, who holds his sword high for a battle to the death.)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(A shot of thousands of centipede-like creatures in combat with different authors. However, 6 streams of light shoot down from above and crash, revealing 6 very powerful cards that glow and transform. Six Authors are by each one, their faces are unseen because of their helmets.)
Yuuyake no sakamichi de Kataguruma shite moratta ne Warui koto shikarezu ni tada Kanashii me wo shita
(The authors point at the army, and the monsters glow as their respective energies combine into a giant energy ball and fires, killing every person in it's path. That over, the monsters glow purple and disappear, never to be unlocked again after the destruction they've caused.)
Tooi hibi utsusu kamera Dare no kokoro ni mo Kitto kitto aru hazu dakara
(Screenshot of the present, with Yugi and the others laughing. A battle in the sky between two legendary birds that rain down fire and ice on the ground. Civilians fleeing, with others staring at each other in defiantance. A dozen bombs destroying a building, with Marik staring in disbelief.)
mi toji meguru Arubamu no kazu dake Boku-tachi wa otona ni naru yo
(Shot of the different present day authors, with their weapons at the ready. NocturneD is in the front, although he isn't related to THE NocturneD, and flashes a smile. However, Ultima Trev comes up from behind and gives him a knuckle noogie, in which both laugh and the others sweatdrop)
Tsunaideku kizuna Hitori kara futari ne Te to te wo kasane ai Ato kara kuru kimi ni Onaji mono wa dashitai kara
(Shot of Pegasus brutally defeating a duelist with a monster that looks similar to a Jigglypuff with fangs. Another shot is Duke encasing a reluctant bodyguard in a large dice cube for disobeying him. Finally, a shot of Globex, scratching his beard as he overlooks the city, his eyes glowing red.)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(Shot of all the authors raising their arms as their watches/chronoshifters glow. The clouds turn dark as large green tentacles begin to impale the Earth. Tea and Yugi are in each other's arms, as Yami looks on with interest. Bakura and the other Millennium holders look on as well)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(Finally, a vision of the sun setting as the authors, right now on the beach, are relaxing and enjoying themselves.)
(End Song)
A old Alley a few blocks from Domino Bridge
A lone mysterious figure calmly walked down the dreary alley, ignoring the screeches of the cats and mice scrambling for safety. They could tell that danger was approaching. The person wore a black cloak that hid 3/5's of his face, save the mouth and eyes, that went all the way down to his legs. A long katana was stripped to his back, as well as two swords crossing. His eyes were purple and narrow, and he had a sharp fang pointing out on his mouth. His hair was jade green, and carved bishi-style. His aura was sinister, a purple ki that shattered multiple windows as he passed.
Ding! A small bell dropped to the right of him, and he stopped, his eyes searching. "I'm there, show yourself." He said calmly, knowing full well he was not in danger. A form materialized in front of him, a very familiar and knowledge person. He blushed crimson, and somewhat got a nosebleed at the very revealing outfit his contact had on.
"Hello, Zoe."
Kaiba Corp. Warehouses
15 minutes later.
********************************
Nocturne D.
Class: A
Cards:50?
Deck Type: Fighter/Mech/Magic/Misc (Use of Legendary Box of Horus)
Traps: Any kind
Powers: C.A.R.D. Slash/Instant Transmission (incomplete technique)
Weapon: Broad sword/Splitter Cards
**************************************
Phantom Mask watched with disinterest as the four fighters duked it out with their monsters. It was as boring as watching skin peel from sunburns. So far, Kaiba had the upper hand with his three Blue Eyes, XYZ Dragon Cannon (2800/2600) and a LP count of 2800, and seemed to disable the Bunny Duo with each turn. NocD seemed to do as good as Kaiba, using two Gohan's Rage Element cards to boost his Red Comet Gundam 2000 ATT extra, and had 3100 LP. And of course, neither of them even thought of teamwork in this battle. He was so bored that he didn't realize that his footing was coming off on the roof.
"Talon, we must start now awhile the moment is good!" Goon #1 said with eyes burning with hatred.
"Agreed! As it should!" Goon #2 agreed matching his gaze.
"You simple fools don't fully understand the ability of our dueling skills, and now you pay the price!" Goon #1 grunted, as he drew out a card.
"Your ancient box will soon be ours soon enough!" Both said, looking at the prize of the duel, the Box of Horus, in which NocD agreed upon instead of his 3 locator cards.
"Enough talk! Make your move, NocD!" Kaiba said coolly, knowing full well that in one more turn he can summon his Egyptian God Card and wipe them out. He had two cards face down, a magic and a trap card.
"Hmm." Noc hummed, as he prepared for the worst, and looked at the cards he had in his hand and on the field. 'Let's see, I have Red Comet (3600/1500),Pan (1600/1500) and Super Gotunks, with the Super Element, (2200-2600/1800-2400) out. So far those two have sent out weak monsters such as Witch of the Black Forest in order to summon different monsters with special effects. And since there's 2 slots left, I might as well do this combo.' "I lay two cards face down and sacrifice Pan to summon Wing Zero! But that's not all, as I also call upon the Element card, Customize!"
A bright light shot down from the heavens as large wings unfolded on the Gundam's body, and a giant gun appeared. "Now you face one of the most lethal warriors, Wing Zero Custom! (2750/2400)"
"It is a impressive warrior, but against our combined powers it is futile! As I now activate the magic card, Reborn the Monster! I had to discard this powerful monster in order to gain it back later! Behold! Tyrant Dragon! It boasts 2900 attack power!" Goon #2 said, as the massive dragon popped out and roared, causing a large gust of wind to shoot out.
"And don't forget me, as I have played Invigoration! It will rise our Dragon's stats 700 extra, making it 3600!" Goon #1 said, as the dragon grew larger than all 3 Blue Eyes and gathered green energy in it's mouth.
"That's all very good and nice." Kaiba smirked, annoyed at the way those two idiots were lining up for his ultimate attack,"But as you can see I'm a very impatient CEO of a high ranking company. I tried to be patient and considerate like Mokuba asked me to do so I wouldn't look odd, but you two are wasting my time. You two are perfect guinea pigs for a live field tests for my ultimate card. It's time to awaken my ultimate beast! As I now sacrifice all three BEWD's to bring out Obelisk the Tormentor!"
"What is that?!?" Fear was stricken on their faces, as the thunder grew louder and a dangerously large blue head poked out of the floor, as well as it's biceps.
'Sheesh, he couldn't of played it till now?' NocturneD thought, watching the titan rise up and roar, and shrugged, searching for a card to end the duel. After all, Kaiba requires 2 more sacrifices to bring out the special ability, and by attacking head-on will lower their LP to 600. Focusing, he found the card he was waiting for...
"Mister Pegasus never told us of this card!" Goon #2 trembled in fear.
"We must hold our ground! Quickly! Switch to defense mode!" Goon #1 screamed.
"Too late! Finish them now!" Kaiba yelled, as the giant skeletal warrior swung his fist with the power of a comet.
"Ha! You fell into our trap! Kunai with Chain! That not only paralyzes your monster but also boosts our monster up to 4200 ATT points!" The face down card opened up and a long chain shot out and wrapped around the arm, slowing it down ever so slightly.
"Look again." Kaiba said, as electricity surged throughout the arm and shattered the chain, and kept on going.
"Aaack! It broke through our trap, and is heading at our Tyrant!" Both felt the awesome power as the great juggernaut creamed their monster like a plush toy.
(G 1 & G 2: 1000-600 LP)
"Impressive." NocD said, putting in his card, "I'll just wrap this up using the magic card Tremendous Fire! Which destroys what remains of your LP!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Both goons screamed as their outfits became toasty and slightly lit. (G #1:0 LP, G #2:0 LP)
"This duel is over, and you guys are now considered losers for life." Kaiba said, as the two decided to pound their heads against the concrete multiple times. (Drode: (controlling them) Ha! Ha! Serves SH right for making weak players!)
"Mister Pegasus shall avenge us, you will see!" Both of them yelled at the same time, as large metal wings shot out from their costumes. They launched off using small rockets attached to their shoes, laughing their heads off.
"Hmmph. Hey, where are you going?" Noc said, at the moment trying to find his winnings, noticing Kaiba leave with 3 locator cards at hand.
"Away from you Toonami freaks. I don't have to fight people like you right at this time, so don't bother asking for a team-up." Kaiba said coldly as he walked with deep strides.
"Oh. Okay. Just wanted to warn you about something that's about to happen in 3.2.1." Clunk! A large piece of roof tile fell on top of Kaiba's head. His reaction was to fall unconscious, as the pain knocked him out. NocturneD looked up from where the tile came from, only to see the frown from Phantom Mask's eyes. He stood on the roof, with his arms on each other, under his feet were broken tiles that he used to prevent him from falling.
"Pathetic, Noc. After all that training against that type of deck, you still have difficulty." Phantom Mask said, his arms in a serious fold. NocD tried his best to smile, but decided to rub his nose instead.
"A team battle was not part of the training, and Kaiba wasn't the best partner I would have liked to use." NocD said defiantly, as he scooped up his box and the new locator cards and Tyrant Dragon. He whistled at the stats and pocketed it.
"I hope you have a better excuse when I beat you for the 6th time in a row. After all, I've gained more cash from multiple tournaments than you doing them one-by-one." BEEP! BEEP! Phantom Mask took out a small pager the size of a GBA and his eyes relaxed. "Anyways, I'll be seeing you at the semi- finals, NocD, I expect you not to die beforehand." He produced his staff out of hammerspace and vanished into thin air. NocD felt a slight gust of wind blast by, and smirked.
"Showoff."
The Battleship (Kaiba Craft 3), Lounge Room
"Mr. Pegasus, your guests have arrived." Croquet said over the intercom. Pegasus smiled, as he drank the last of his cocktail wine.
"Thank you Croquet, bring them in."
"Yes Mr. Pegasus."
Three teenagers walked in through the sliding door, a little uneasy about being so high up on an unstudy aircraft. Their greasy hair and black trenchcoats labeled who they were, the infamous trio of the Infamous Yazuka Clan. One was thick-chested, the other was extremely thin, and the leader of the three was tall and very muscular, his hands were wrapped in bandages. Croquet followed behind them, hand on revolver. The two were carrying a very heavy bag, large enough to hold a baby kangaroo or so.
"We got the girls just as you asked, Pegasus. Where's the dough for our beloved Leader?" The leader of the gang asked, his deep scar annoyed Pegasus a little, as it appeared to be bleeding somehow.
"Kemo? Show them the greenbacks." The giant of a bodyguard ran in through the doors, carrying a suitcase. He opened it, showing 5 columns/3 rows of 1 million dollar bills.
"Whoa.." The three thugs were speechless.
"That's Fifteen Million bucks boys. Just drop the sack off there and take the two out. Eerr, you didn't injure them did you?" Pegasus asked, a little worried that they may have killed them.
"Just that girl with the friendship gene. It took over 5 hits from Zan's fist before we could shut her up." They turned and walked out with the briefcase, making small talk about how to split the earnings between them and the boss.
"A pity. Croquet, lock them up in the sound proof room." Pegasus was somewhat relieved, Yugi wouldn't come if they weren't harmed in some way.
"Yes, Master Pegasus. Shall I alert Globex to this new arrival?"
"I doubt it." Pegasus said, brushing his white hair aside to reveal a silver colored Millennium eye, "I'll do it for you." The eye flashed and a shadowy figure dressed in ninja clothes appeared behind Croquet. It took his hand and before he could cry out, they vanished into the floor. Two more appeared in front of the sack, and took it with hem into the darkness abyss."I just love this new toy."
Walkport Street, Domino City
'Man, that pollen storm that girl summoned came out of nowhere. It's if she's from another planet or something.' Yuigi said, walking alongside his astral side, Yami. They had woken up in a street full of people who were twitching from the sakura petals, others were covered in blisters and pimples. They were lucky to get out of there alive, but because of it, they couldn't find a challenger that wasn't dazed by the pollen. They even encountered Mai, who looked like she was at the moment "very ticked off" about some guy in cowboy gear and said that she was going to teach him a lesson with the new cards she'd acquired. Now, they were walking towards a small stadium, which was rumored to have a very powerful duelist inside.
'Yami? Is there something wrong?' Yugi asked, concerned by the serious look that Yami was giving his duel disk.
'I sense that a few of the cards were switched, Yugi. But for some reason I can't access them until we get into a duel.' Yami said, as he looked at the deck in his own disk. Several of the cards were glowing inside, as if they were alive.
'Trust me, Yami, there's got to be a duelist with 2 more locator cards around. I don't want to have Joey's Red Eyes in my side deck for the duration of the tournament collecting dust.' Yugi said confidently, unaware that he actually needed 6 more locator cards in order to get into the finals. That, and his worst enemy is plotting the ultimate termination of Yami.
"What the!" A red-haired man in pink gi brushed past Yugi, nearly knocking him over. Yugi regained his balance, but it was difficult to see the person who did it. A shimmering light forced him to look at his Millennium Puzzle, on it was a scroll of paper with Japanese writing on it. He looked up to see the red haired man turn into light and reverted to a card, which was caught by a green-haired warrior-like figure who just stepped out of the shadows.
"Who are you?" Yugi struggled to ask, as he began to feel light headed. It was if he was in the Shadow Realm again, but much faster. The image of the cloaked figure swirled and blurred rapidly. The figure spoke at last.
"I am a warrior from the past, to finally meet the infamous traitor of a pharaoh you have named Yami. My identity in the real Terra Firma is a secret, but many call me Zoe Mononoke, the Tempest Raider." Zoe stated, as Yugi fainted from the lack of electricity to the brain, and thus Yami took over.
"YUGIOOOOOH!" Beams of light shot down and made him look older, determined and purely focused. "What business do you have with me, Zoe Mononoke? And why have you placed this, this Shinto sheet on my Millennium Puzzle, and send Yugi's mind into a status of unconsciousness?"
"Revenge, my dear Pharaoh. One might say that you are the reason we Authors were summoned there, for you are the only threat that we know personally. I remember the plague you cast on us, a plague of Blue, the only creatures immune to Author Powers. It was them that murdered my little brother and cousin. You may not remember your past, but if you lose to me in a duel, you will recall all your memories in Ancient Egypt." Zoe said, as his Duelist Disk opened up and activated the dueling system.
"Hmm, it sounds interesting, although I have no idea what you're talking about. I imagine if I win I still get the memories?" Yami said, as he too activated his Duel Disk and fired the holo-emitters. Zoe grinned warily in response. "Fine then, let's duel!"
Yami:Y 4000 LP
Zoe Mononoke: Z 4000 LP
*******Fighter Database***********
Name:Zoe Mononoke
ATT 3800/DEF 2400
Deck: Fighter
Cards: 40
Traps: High on counters
Weapon: Twin-sickled katana (Gatotsu Splitter attack)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Z: I'll start out by summoning Yahiko in Attack mode! (1300/1100)
Y:Then I'll send out Gamma the Magnet Warrior in attack mode! (1500/1800 ) I imagine you have a unique deck, but Gamma should be able to cut your kendo warrior apart.
Z: Heh, talk all you want, Pharaoh. (Draws) Excellent. I place two cards facedown, and end my turn.
Y: 'He's up to something, but without Yugi, it may be harder for me to draw the right card.' I place one card face down, and have Gamma attack your Yahiko! (Gamma launches at him)
Z: Not so fast! I activate my trap card, Soul of the Samurai! Which boosts my Yahiko by 400 ATT and switches Gamma to defense mode! (Yahiko 1700/1100) Now! Attack! (Yahilo's eyes flash with a hidden fire, as he screams, smashing Gamma's
Y: (LP 4000-4000) Nicely done. 'I don't exactly have a choice right now. I better get a defense out before attacking again.' I summon Kuriboh in defense mode! (Kuriboh pops up and squirms as Yahiko grins evilly.) (Kuriboh 400/300?)
Z: Heh. You fell into my trap. I knew that since your facedown card didn't activate, it was a magic card instead. Element Card, activate! Magic Pawning! This element card will devour one magic card and allow me a free sacrifice of a strong fighter! Behold! The second warrior, Kaoru!(said fighter pops up and stands near Yahiko, both are in attack position) ( Kaoru-1800/1700)
Y: 'How did he know?'
Z: Now, Kaoru! Attack his Kuriboh! Kamiya Kassin Ryu Style! (Kaoru screams as she vanishes and reappears behind Kuriboh, and smashes the fuzzy guy. Yami looks on puzzled)
Y: 'I didn't lose lifepoints, but I better come up with a faster strategy.'
Z:'The Pharaoh has no idea what is in store for him. All I need is 3 more of the special forces, and my special magic card, and Ka-Blam! No more Pharaoh bugging me.'
Y: (draws a card) 'Perfect!' I play Alpha the Magnet Warrior, in attack mode! And place one card facedown. (Alpha pops up and gets ready to rumble)
Z: Well, then, I'll play 2 cards face down, and play this element card! Rebirth of Legends! This card allows me to send two of my opponents cards into the graveyard, awhile I will be able to play a high level monster without sacrificing! Come forth, Kenshin Himura!" (Yami drops the cards into his graveyard reluctantly, and the red haired man from before pops up and puts his hand on his sword) (Kenshin Himura 2300/2200)
Y:I fail to see the strategy behind this swordsman. Is this the strongest in your deck?
Z: Heh. Although it's strong, it's hardly my strongest. But there are things in this that you have yet to understand. Since Rebirth of Legends has been played, I end my turn without attacking.
Y: Fine then! I play Beta the Magnet Warrior! And then, sacrifice my two monsters to play Dark Magician! (Dark Magician 2500/2100)
Z: Heh. 'He should have played Reborn the Monster for Gamma, then he would be able to summon his strongest monster. Baka.'
Y: Dark Magic Attack! And by doing so, I reduce your life points! (The familiar blast shoots out, but Zoe makes no effort to act like surprised or hurt)
Z: (LP 4000-1800) I applaud your efforts Pharaoh, but you see, I was waiting for you to play that strategy. You're not very good on strategies as you are on shifting the cards you want to the top of the deck.
Y: I don't know what you're talking about. I'll place 2 cards face down, in order to keep me safe at the moment. (Two cards appear)
Z: 'Ha!' (draws a card and smiles) I play Medii Torture! We both send our hands to the graveyard and take out 3 new ones. Then I'll play a monster in defense mode! (Misao 1000/1500)
Y:'Hmm, I could just attack, but what if the monster has a special ability? At least I have one of my trap cards in case he tries to destroy my Dark Magician. As well as Magic Cylinder.' I have to go on offensive for Yugi's sake! Dark Magician, attack his defense monster! (Dark Magician fries her)
Z: 'So predictable' Heh, you just destroyed my Misao. She has two special effects when destroyed, one is that you lose one of your magic cards on the field. I pick...the one on the left! (said card is destroyed)
Y: 'My magic cylinder!'
Z: Her other special ability is to call upon her love, even in death, her beloved Aoshi onto the field, in defense mode! (A man in a trenchcoat launches up from the graveyard and defends, using his kodachis) (Aoshi 1800/2600) Go ahead, try to pierce this shield.
Y: 'Great, the defense level is stronger than my attack!' I place one card face down and end my turn. But I warn you, think twice before attacking.
Z: I just did. And seems you ran out of time Pharaoh! Element card activate! Swordsman's Second Wind! This card may reduce me to 1 LP, but in return, I can bring forth four of my strongest warriors on the field, their combined attack will crush you, especially with this! The Magic Card, United We Stand! (1800-1 LP)
Y: What kind of card is that?
Z: It's a rare magic card that will bring forth your ultimate demise! Combining the ATT of all 5 monsters on the field!
Saitou (2100/1900)
Sanosuke (2200/2500)
Kenshin Himura (2300/2200)
Shishio (2600/2100)
Aoshi (1800/2600)
Z: Do the math! That's about 11000 ATT!
Y: Oh no!
Z: Now! United We Stand! Strike now! (The swordsmen extend their blades and slash at the Dark Magician)
Y: Not so fast! I unveil the trap card, Magic Rev Circle! Which will send your attack right back at you!
Z: Wrong! When summoned, Shishio's special ability negates trap cards for one turn! You're through! (The slashes break through, and Yami's shirt gets several rips on it, due to Zoe's Shadow Magic)
Y: Nooooooo! (4000 LP -0 LP)
Z: This duel is over, chump. I have therefore revived you of your title.
**************End Battle***********
"You have lost this battle Pharaoh. You have proven to be a hindrance in our backs, you are nothing without Yugi's Heart of the Cards and his complex strategies. Yugi is the chosen one, destined to be the hero of this tale, you can barely recall defeating Priest Kaiba and his Millennium Rod! Now Pharaoh, prepare to experience the painful Fission Technique that all Authors are capable of! Gatotsu Splitting FISSURE!" Zoe launched himself with one foot, zooming in the stunned Yami, and drew his long sword which shone green. Then everything turned black.
~Ting!~
Kaiba Craft 3-Kaiba's Dueling Room
Globex awoke from his absolute slumber, his hunchwoman, Silver Moon Cat was busy frying up a fish in the grill. One would mistake her for the woman in Urusei Yatsura, only she had a one piece suit on, and it was white instead of yellow. She had white hair, a sharp tooth, and cat-like qualities. Her eyes were also cat-like, due to new genetic changes done to her by force. Her feet and hands were partly nekoized, and she had very real cat ears on her head. She was perhaps the ultimate assassin in Globex's arsenal.
"Zoe has done it for me after all, the fool." Globex said warily, rubbing his beard with his hand.
"Indeed, Master Globex, Samurai-type authors are so easy to fool when Nekos are around." SMC said, as she took out a catnip cigar from Globex's drawer and lit it, very happy.
"That's why you're my #1 agent, Silver Moon Cat. Have the drones been dispatched to destroy what remains of the former pharaoh?" Globex said, hopeful that the pharaoh will be destroyed.
"Yup, Zoe has him into the red zone. There's a 10% chance of survival though." The red zone, Globex thought, is where his battlebox is located. In every corner there lies a deadly arena with a even lethal drone bot with weapons designed to destroy authors.
"That's why my drones are outfitted with the best of my card-type decks and strategies. Even Phantom Mask had problems dealing with their discard and shredder decks." Globex said, joyful.
"Oh, that reminds me. We got a few shipments at the docks where Kaiba was held." SMC said, filing her claws for maximum damage.
"I assume he escaped as I predicted." Globex's eyes turned red and the room started to get cold. In fact, ice formed on multiple sections of SMC.
"Y-yes sir, but Agent Alan had located two God Cards, with his team Gam, aboard the shipments." SMC said, stammering as her 'paws' suddenly froze to the ground.
"Really?" He stoked his beard thoroughly, deep in thought, "Did he mention names at all?"
"Well, I think he said he had Neo-Queen Serenity and Atomsk the Pirate King." She signed relief as the room thawed and she could move her feet again.
"Excellent, with those two in my deck, part 1 of Operation HYDRA will commence. Captives so far?" He smiled, taking out a Polish Cigar, making sure to set the ashes on Seto's favorite chair.
"Tea and Serenity Wheeler have been locked up and gagged in Duke's personal dice dungeon that we installed with the Nano-Software simulator. That bonehead Snap had gone undercover to capture both Slifer and Ra from the Super Saiyan-like Marik. " SMC said Marik like a curse word.
"Which leaves Tristian Taylor. Dispatch a group of Shao hunters to grab him at the hospital. After he's captured, have them attack the Museum. Their makeshift chronoshifters should be able to nullify their presence from the two Millennium holders, Ryou Bakura and Ishizu Ishtar. And contact Snap, I want him to eliminate the talisman holder, Red Dragon Zero, before he once again blows up half a city." Globex said, planning two steps ahead as always.
"Yes, my lord. As you command, NYOW!" She transformed into a white cat in less than a second, her clothes blended in with her fur coat. She purred and jumped on the bookshelf, then out the window. Yes, she was exactly several dozen miles above the ground, but she's a cat and no one likes her.
'Soon, they will be mine once more." Globex said, looking over the city, as dark clouds appeared all over, showing multiple duels were in process.
Back at the street..
Zoe looked at his fallen prey with great disappointment. The former pharoah had felt the power of his blade go right through him, and now he was twitching on the ground. The fission factor was taking effect, as it was if another body was struggling to get out. 'Yugi Moto. What a pleasure it is when I duel you.' Yami lit up and separated from Yugi, sprawled on the ground. Yugi was on the other side, right now a little dizzy from the effects. Like Yugi, Yami was now a soul with flesh and blood, thanks to the power of fission.
"Ow, what happened?" Yugi said, trying to get on his feet. Zoe's eyes glowed purple and the shinto sheet turned into ash. Zoe then enshowered Yugi in a purple aura which covered him head to toe. In a matter of seconds he vanished, perhaps transported to another area.
Zoe smirked, amused at how everything was going to plan. He strode by Yami, who was still in shock, and calmly said, "I wish you the best of bad luck, Pharaoh Yugi. Heh, hahahaha!" He raised his watch in the air and teleported in a flash of light.
'Pharaoh Yugi?' Yami thought, just before his nervous system shut down from over-stress.
Domino Park, Central Hub
Black Panther was a little bored. After getting his things checked in with the hotel, (darn those stupid bellhops and their slowness) he was walking around looking for a worthy opponent. Two hours later, he was frustrated because not one person came up to face him in a duel. It was time to face it, a duelist of his caliber was not made for pick and choose tournaments like this. In fact, Globex was his main target, as thirty mil would definitely pay for any damages he had done before. There was also the fact that SH could be anywhere, 'anything' due to the Chronoshifter's ability to morph. He was a pest, but he was a good strategist when he wasn't showing off. 'Man, it's getting hot. I got to sit down.'
He then sat down on a park bench nearby, starting the birds. Sighing, he took off his black leather jacket, revealing a white T-shirt to go with his khakis. He wished something would happen So, for the next hour or so, Bk just sat there trying to get the Yatta song out of his head, until. . .
"Hey, I remember you!" A strangely familiar voice popped up, a female one at that.
Bk snapped out of his trance. "Huh what?" Once she saw the blond-haired girl, he knew immeadiately why she knew him.

***********************
PS: Well, it looks like we meet again.
Bk: I'm sure it'll be the same result.
PS: I wouldn't be so sure. Prepare to duel. (said judge pops up via hologram and both duelists launch their holo-pad)
Bk: Don't have to tell me.
Judge: Duel all set. Battle Mode: 02029-Authorization rules are in effect...
Bk: Ready?
PS: Yeah! (pumps fist in excitement)
Both: Duel! (Bk: 4000; PS: 4000)
Bk (draws anticlimactically): Hmmm. I play one card face down and end my turn. (DEF card appears and glows)
PS: Hah! What a dumb move. Go, Liger Zero Jager! (1400/1100) Attack with Strike Laser Claw!
Bk: Predictable.
PS: Huh? (Van's Shield Liger is revealed) (1400/1200) Hah, I still won.
Bk: Think again. (Zeke activates the shield and the slash is deflected) You forgot about the Shield Liger's special effect, it's Shield. When it's in DEF position, it can withstand an attack from any card whose ATK is less than 300 pts. greater than its defense. So, theoretically, My Liger has 1500 DEF instead of 1200. However, you do not lose life points. Until now. I summon Tenchi Masaki, the Legendary Warrior! (1800/1000) Attack the Zero Jager with your Tenchiken's blade! (A quick slash destroys the Jager)
PS (4600): Damn it!
Bk: I think it's time for a strategy better than mimicing our last battle.
PS: If you insist, then. I summon Rick Hunter's Veritech in Attack Mode (cue the Rick Hunter theme as he appears in a ground combat-type mecha) (1500/1200) And now, I add Machine Conversion Factory to raise his Attack and Defense 200 pts. (1700/1400) Now, Lt. Hunter, your mission is to open up your gunpod and destroy that Liger. (Liger is blowed up)
Bk (4000): Hm. I don't know what you were trying to accomplish, but it won't help you. I play another monster in defense. Go, Tenchi, attack the Veritech.
PS: Hunter, evasive maneuvers! (The Veritech transforms into a fighter jet and quickly evades the slash)
Bk: What?! No!
PS: Time to take into effect my effect. The Veritech has three modes that represent 3 types Winged Beast (aka Fighter), Warrior (Battleoid), and Dragon (Guardian), and it can change at will, whenever I want. And you know that Warriors such as Masaki can't attack a Winged Beast.
Bk: 'Stupid Attributes' I'll play another card face down and end this turn.
PS: My turn now. (Draws) Heh. I'll play this card face down. Now, Rick Hunter, attack the face down card.
Bk: Gotcha. (Princess of Tsurugi (700/900))
PS (4000 - 3500): Damn it.
Bk: My turn. (Draws) 'God, I love this.' I play Polymerization.
PS: With what? You only have one monster
Bk: Yes, but in my hand, I have one of my favorite monsters, Blaine's Arcanine. (Dadadada dada! Puppy Power!) (L6; 2500/1700) And now, get ready for this, I mix my two monsters together to create the NeoFlame Swordsman. (L9; 3200/2700)
PS: Heh. You may have a powerful creature, but it's still grounded. I activate my down card, Scapegoat (4 little sheep appear) And I'm going to use one of them to bring out the Wing Zero (L5; 2000/1700 ) Then use Customization to create the Angel Wing Zero Custom! (L7: 2700/2300) You may have a great fusion monster, but I still have the air advantage.
Bk: That's where you're wrong!
PS: Huh?
Bk: I activate my Element Card,Fly Card! Release your power and give my monster wings! (The NeoFlame Swordsman gets pretty pink wings.)
PS: Oh, damn. 'But it looks so cute!'
Bk: And now, your monsters have nowhere to hide Neo Swordsman, attack the Veritech! Molten Sword of Battle! (The sword heats up and easily slices through the mecha)
PS: (3500 - 2000): Dammit!
Bk: Now that your points are halfway gone, I think it's high time to rethink your strategies.
PS: Yeah, right. (Draws and smiles) Here's something to interest you. I play Monster Replace to recall my Wing Zero Custom from the field.
Bk: 'That's an odd move. Although the W0C is still weak compared to my Swordsman, it's still probably the best monster she has in her deck.'
PS: And, to replace my Wing Zero, I play Ditto, in Attack Mode. (500/500)
Bk: Eh?
PS: Heh heh heh. Just try and attack my Ditto, and I'll play another card face down.
Bk: Hmmm. 'Something's not right here.' I play one card in DEF mode, and one more face down card. I waive my Battle Phase for this turn.
PS: Awww, how sad. I activate my magic card, Block Attack. (The effect activates Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) And now, you'll see the true power of my Ditto! Transform! (The Ditto shapeshifts and assumes the form of)
Bk: No! Not my Neo Swordsman!
PS: HAHAHAHA! Now you see what I can do. Now, my Ditto Swordsman, attack the Soldier of Stone with your Molten Sword of Battle! (The attack cuts Giant Soldier of Stone into rubble.)
Bk (4000 - 2100): Oh boy.
PS (2000): I'd say the playing field is just about even again, but it won't be for long. Anything you throw on the field my Ditto can copy.
Bk: Hmmm. Anything, huh? Then how about this? I play De-Fusion to break-up my Fusion Combo. (B's A: 6;25/17, TM: 4;18/10)
PS: 'Huh?'
Bk: Arcanine, attack with Fire Storm! (Arcanine flares up now. The fire mass goes towards Ditto)
PS: You idiot. Ditto, transform. Become Blaine's Arcanine! (Ditto starts to transform)
Bk: Activating Trap card! (Flips his card) Redirection!
PS: Uh-oh.
Bk: And since Redirection allows be to pick any eligible monster, I chose for Ditto to copy itself!
PS: What?! That's not possible! (But it is as Ditto becomes Ditto. (L2; 500/500) The attack, unwaivered despite the pause hits and destroys Ditto.)
Bk: Game over.
PS (2000 - 0): No! (Drops to her knees) How could I have lost? (Bk goes over to her)
Bk: You really want to know?
PS (looks up): Mm-hmm.
Bk: Well, I think that your fatal flaw was not switching your monsters to DEF mode once I played my NeoFlame Swordsman. Although it was probable that I didn't have anything that would change the type discrepancy, it was possible and it did happen. Your cockiness combined with a lack of strategy was your downfall. You need to remember that in this game, anything can happen.
PS: I guess you're right.. (Bk helps her up) Bk: Don't be too sad. It was a good duel. I needed every single point of damage to beat you. If you had a Dian Keto, who knows what would've happened.
PS (getting less depressed, more cheerful): Yeah. It was a good duel.
Bk: Uh-huh. Unfortunately, you still have to fork over your Locator Card and your Ditto.
PS: My Ditto? But I thought my Liger Zero Uber was my best card.
Bk: Yes, but Ditto is better because of its level (2) and playability (Normal Summon).
PS: You have a point.
(She is about to hand over the two cards, but a gunshot halts the transaction. The two look to see who it came from. Fourteen robots that appear to have come from Metal Cooler have appeared out of the trees, about three times as big as Black Panther. They sport the logo of Globex on their chests, a red dragon biting it's tail. They are colored black for some odd reason, and were ready for combat.)
Leader droid: You two, I hereby challenge you to a duel for your rare cards! If you do not accept, you will be destroyed. (The other 13 go into combat status, their arms ready to impale the two if non-compliant)

*********************** Phenicia sighed as she readied her gauntlet once more, but Bk waived her off. "But we have no choice," she contested in a loud whisper.
"There is always a choice. Battle City rules permit the formal declination of a challenge." Bk prepared for battle. He was out for blood.
"But they'll kill us."
"Not if we kill them first."
"All right, you two, quit stalling!" the lead droid said. "Accept our duel or suffer the consequences."
"You suffer first, SHOTGUN!" Bk lunged at them, his fist burst out multiple white energy bolts coming from his Chronoshifter. Five were dismantled in the attack, but the others were unfazed, their energy shields were raised. It was down to just nine droids and Bk. "I think we'll decline your challenge."
"It doesn't matter now. You're dead!" The droids launched out three curved gold rods each, that wrapped around Bk and pinned him to the ground. Bk was in disbelief as the rods squeezed, him, the strength was going out into the rods. He was getting more and more weaker, and the droids produced energy rifles from their hips, and aimed.
The dispenser/cannon started to charge up and gather energy. "Say good-bye to Battle City!" The leader announced.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the girl, Phenicia. A strange golden aura surrounded her. The goon's eyes widened. He knew what had happened. It was small, but Phenicia Saeiki had transformed. (----1400/1600)
"I think you forgot someone." Phenicia said as she approached the droids. "It looks like cockiness combined with a lack of strategy will be your fatal flaw. And I do mean fatal." The droids looked on in horror as Phenicia raised her hands up to heaven and gathered a ball of yellow energy. She then lowered her arms parallel to the ground, ready to fire. "Take this, loser! Celestial Moonbeam!!!"
The giant beam of yellow energy enveloped the droids. After it disappeared, he was no more. The energy bands around Bk disappeared and he got up. After the attack, Phenicia quickly detransformed and was quite tuckered out. She was almost ready to topple over. Bk quickly ran over to help her right herself. (600/800 ----)
"Hey, that was pretty impressive."
"Uh-huh," she replied, a little short of breath. "And that, I believe, calls us even, my dear Black Panther."
"Maybe, but you still owe me Ditto."
"Damn," she said with a smile, "I thought you would forget." She quickly gave him her rare card and they went over and sat down on the park bench.
"You gonna be okay?"
"Yeah, I'll live. Just need a couple seconds." After said couple seconds, she got up without trouble. "Well, I guess I should be going, seeing as I'm no longer in the tournament."
Bk stood up. "Well, if you insist." They exchanged a big hug. "I'll see you next time, then."
"You bet. See ya!" Phenicia waved as she head off.
"Bye!" Bk went off in his own direction. It was nice seeing friends, but he still had a tournament to win.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next time on Toonami Dual!
-Things heat up literally as Red Dragon Zero and Robster80 battle it out in a battle of Fighters against Mechs! What's this? Shenlong the Eternal Dragon? Oh boy!
-Phantom Mask fights the last person he would ever want to meet in person, the infamous Alan Capello, back from the graveyard! But what's this? He's got a Fuzor Dragon Deck from Globex? Prepare for dragon on dragon action!.
-Super Hurricane shows off his moves, but can he back it up against Mako Tsunami and his ocean monsters?
-The Card Axis has company, a challenger has emerged to face off against them! However, he's not even human...
Drode: Basically, he ran into a brick wall. Multiple times. Then forgot what he was doing and scrambled for other areas so he could find ^gasp^ a job!
SH: Hey! It's your fault for not motivating me! (gets struck by the Almighty Fire Poker) Ow!
Drode: Hold still! I'll get you going no matter what! Oh, and SH doesn't own any of the characters in this either. Anime Survivor rocks! (chases SH around, stinging him repeatedly)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(The projector turns on and a small scene begins. It starts out with the usual stone tablets shown to Kaiba by Ishizu, but parts of them tear off and reattach to different sides to reveal new parts of the story.)
Drode: Authors came from the year 2014 A.D., the time when the giant asteroid Nemesis struck the earth with the force of a Hydrogen Bomb times ten. Most of them refer to it as "the cataclysm", a mysterious event that killed 9/10's of the human population. The radiation allowed the survivors to evolve into more "unique" species, and during it, gained them near- immortality. However, they were just starting to understand their portal creating ability, and "accidentally", were launched into the past version of Yu-Gi-Oh. When they were there, their only thoughts were to either change the world, protect it, or glomp all the bishies. This turned into the beginning of the Shadow Games.
What? Did you think that evil magicians made those monsters? Authors summoned those monsters without losing a bit of energy, in which evil soon corrupted a ton of them, seeing they were unbeatable and nearly god-like. Anyways, as soon as the recent pharaoh, Yugi, heard of a rebel group of Authors fighting against the corrupt ones, he instantly enlisted them into his elite army. They created seven new gods (formed from different TV shows), which united with the Egyptian gods, were strong enough to overpower the evil authors and banish their essence (their life force) into stone tablets, never to be opened again.
However, Yugi's trust was mislead, as a rogue author living in his palace freed a mystical demon that was said to kill over half the population of Egypt, leaving the author's to handle it. No one knows how they defeated it, but it lives on to feed off our lust and hatred. To this day, the holy battlefield was known as Yugi's Sorrow.
Yugi, however, wasn't so happy to see them alive, and banished them to the Shadow Realm for eternity. It was in there were the Blue, a race of sentient insects (which were not related to those in Blue Gender, as they were all centipede-type) who were immune to the Authors powers and began to slash them apart like paper. Luckily, the slingshot effect took it's toll on the portals, it launched them back where they wanted to be, Earth. Many authors chose to repopulate and get the industries going again. Once such industry was Globex Corporation, which towered over the cities they built. Multiple portals popped up throughout the world, in which the Authors used to make their own alternate worlds in which they ruled supreme.
They designed Toonami Duel as a way to remind the authors of the Pharaoh who spoiled their fun. Based on the now deceased Toonami, these monsters became real through summoning, and sometimes for tag-team battles. The Earth had also changed due to the author's powers, turning into a gaint contient so all of them could be in one place. 18 years later, a teen known as NocturneD has acquired a powerful artifact called the Horus Box, a box said to have the powers of the Pharaoh himself. And seeing that it was Globex's property, the forces of darkness will not rest until the ultimate power is in their hands, even if they have to hold a tournament in the reality that the present pharaoh now lives in...
Opening Song
Itsumade mo wasurenai Takusan no mono moratta ne Sora no iro utsushite hikaru aoi houseki ya
(The opening scene appears to be a happy meadow with dozens of authors, but after a few seconds, the sky becomes dark and flashes lightning)
koi no tachi hane mawaru hiroi ni wa ja nai motto motto daijina mono wo
(A pair of red eyes opens in the darkness as it launches a barrage of bolts, zapping several in their tracks. Two giant black hands reach down and snare some of the authors, silencing them permanently. However, a single card is launched and hit's one of the eyes, angering the beast. The person who threw it is none other than NocturneD, who holds his sword high for a battle to the death.)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(A shot of thousands of centipede-like creatures in combat with different authors. However, 6 streams of light shoot down from above and crash, revealing 6 very powerful cards that glow and transform. Six Authors are by each one, their faces are unseen because of their helmets.)
Yuuyake no sakamichi de Kataguruma shite moratta ne Warui koto shikarezu ni tada Kanashii me wo shita
(The authors point at the army, and the monsters glow as their respective energies combine into a giant energy ball and fires, killing every person in it's path. That over, the monsters glow purple and disappear, never to be unlocked again after the destruction they've caused.)
Tooi hibi utsusu kamera Dare no kokoro ni mo Kitto kitto aru hazu dakara
(Screenshot of the present, with Yugi and the others laughing. A battle in the sky between two legendary birds that rain down fire and ice on the ground. Civilians fleeing, with others staring at each other in defiantance. A dozen bombs destroying a building, with Marik staring in disbelief.)
mi toji meguru Arubamu no kazu dake Boku-tachi wa otona ni naru yo
(Shot of the different present day authors, with their weapons at the ready. NocturneD is in the front, although he isn't related to THE NocturneD, and flashes a smile. However, Ultima Trev comes up from behind and gives him a knuckle noogie, in which both laugh and the others sweatdrop)
Tsunaideku kizuna Hitori kara futari ne Te to te wo kasane ai Ato kara kuru kimi ni Onaji mono wa dashitai kara
(Shot of Pegasus brutally defeating a duelist with a monster that looks similar to a Jigglypuff with fangs. Another shot is Duke encasing a reluctant bodyguard in a large dice cube for disobeying him. Finally, a shot of Globex, scratching his beard as he overlooks the city, his eyes glowing red.)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(Shot of all the authors raising their arms as their watches/chronoshifters glow. The clouds turn dark as large green tentacles begin to impale the Earth. Tea and Yugi are in each other's arms, as Yami looks on with interest. Bakura and the other Millennium holders look on as well)
Kinou kara kyou he Kyou kara asu he to Boku-tachi wa aruite yuku yo
(Finally, a vision of the sun setting as the authors, right now on the beach, are relaxing and enjoying themselves.)
(End Song)
A old Alley a few blocks from Domino Bridge
A lone mysterious figure calmly walked down the dreary alley, ignoring the screeches of the cats and mice scrambling for safety. They could tell that danger was approaching. The person wore a black cloak that hid 3/5's of his face, save the mouth and eyes, that went all the way down to his legs. A long katana was stripped to his back, as well as two swords crossing. His eyes were purple and narrow, and he had a sharp fang pointing out on his mouth. His hair was jade green, and carved bishi-style. His aura was sinister, a purple ki that shattered multiple windows as he passed.
Ding! A small bell dropped to the right of him, and he stopped, his eyes searching. "I'm there, show yourself." He said calmly, knowing full well he was not in danger. A form materialized in front of him, a very familiar and knowledge person. He blushed crimson, and somewhat got a nosebleed at the very revealing outfit his contact had on.
"Hello, Zoe."

**************************************
Phantom Mask watched with disinterest as the four fighters duked it out with their monsters. It was as boring as watching skin peel from sunburns. So far, Kaiba had the upper hand with his three Blue Eyes, XYZ Dragon Cannon (2800/2600) and a LP count of 2800, and seemed to disable the Bunny Duo with each turn. NocD seemed to do as good as Kaiba, using two Gohan's Rage Element cards to boost his Red Comet Gundam 2000 ATT extra, and had 3100 LP. And of course, neither of them even thought of teamwork in this battle. He was so bored that he didn't realize that his footing was coming off on the roof.
"Talon, we must start now awhile the moment is good!" Goon #1 said with eyes burning with hatred.
"Agreed! As it should!" Goon #2 agreed matching his gaze.
"You simple fools don't fully understand the ability of our dueling skills, and now you pay the price!" Goon #1 grunted, as he drew out a card.
"Your ancient box will soon be ours soon enough!" Both said, looking at the prize of the duel, the Box of Horus, in which NocD agreed upon instead of his 3 locator cards.
"Enough talk! Make your move, NocD!" Kaiba said coolly, knowing full well that in one more turn he can summon his Egyptian God Card and wipe them out. He had two cards face down, a magic and a trap card.
"Hmm." Noc hummed, as he prepared for the worst, and looked at the cards he had in his hand and on the field. 'Let's see, I have Red Comet (3600/1500),Pan (1600/1500) and Super Gotunks, with the Super Element, (2200-2600/1800-2400) out. So far those two have sent out weak monsters such as Witch of the Black Forest in order to summon different monsters with special effects. And since there's 2 slots left, I might as well do this combo.' "I lay two cards face down and sacrifice Pan to summon Wing Zero! But that's not all, as I also call upon the Element card, Customize!"
A bright light shot down from the heavens as large wings unfolded on the Gundam's body, and a giant gun appeared. "Now you face one of the most lethal warriors, Wing Zero Custom! (2750/2400)"
"It is a impressive warrior, but against our combined powers it is futile! As I now activate the magic card, Reborn the Monster! I had to discard this powerful monster in order to gain it back later! Behold! Tyrant Dragon! It boasts 2900 attack power!" Goon #2 said, as the massive dragon popped out and roared, causing a large gust of wind to shoot out.
"And don't forget me, as I have played Invigoration! It will rise our Dragon's stats 700 extra, making it 3600!" Goon #1 said, as the dragon grew larger than all 3 Blue Eyes and gathered green energy in it's mouth.
"That's all very good and nice." Kaiba smirked, annoyed at the way those two idiots were lining up for his ultimate attack,"But as you can see I'm a very impatient CEO of a high ranking company. I tried to be patient and considerate like Mokuba asked me to do so I wouldn't look odd, but you two are wasting my time. You two are perfect guinea pigs for a live field tests for my ultimate card. It's time to awaken my ultimate beast! As I now sacrifice all three BEWD's to bring out Obelisk the Tormentor!"
"What is that?!?" Fear was stricken on their faces, as the thunder grew louder and a dangerously large blue head poked out of the floor, as well as it's biceps.
'Sheesh, he couldn't of played it till now?' NocturneD thought, watching the titan rise up and roar, and shrugged, searching for a card to end the duel. After all, Kaiba requires 2 more sacrifices to bring out the special ability, and by attacking head-on will lower their LP to 600. Focusing, he found the card he was waiting for...
"Mister Pegasus never told us of this card!" Goon #2 trembled in fear.
"We must hold our ground! Quickly! Switch to defense mode!" Goon #1 screamed.
"Too late! Finish them now!" Kaiba yelled, as the giant skeletal warrior swung his fist with the power of a comet.
"Ha! You fell into our trap! Kunai with Chain! That not only paralyzes your monster but also boosts our monster up to 4200 ATT points!" The face down card opened up and a long chain shot out and wrapped around the arm, slowing it down ever so slightly.
"Look again." Kaiba said, as electricity surged throughout the arm and shattered the chain, and kept on going.
"Aaack! It broke through our trap, and is heading at our Tyrant!" Both felt the awesome power as the great juggernaut creamed their monster like a plush toy.
(G 1 & G 2: 1000-600 LP)
"Impressive." NocD said, putting in his card, "I'll just wrap this up using the magic card Tremendous Fire! Which destroys what remains of your LP!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Both goons screamed as their outfits became toasty and slightly lit. (G #1:0 LP, G #2:0 LP)
"This duel is over, and you guys are now considered losers for life." Kaiba said, as the two decided to pound their heads against the concrete multiple times. (Drode: (controlling them) Ha! Ha! Serves SH right for making weak players!)
"Mister Pegasus shall avenge us, you will see!" Both of them yelled at the same time, as large metal wings shot out from their costumes. They launched off using small rockets attached to their shoes, laughing their heads off.
"Hmmph. Hey, where are you going?" Noc said, at the moment trying to find his winnings, noticing Kaiba leave with 3 locator cards at hand.
"Away from you Toonami freaks. I don't have to fight people like you right at this time, so don't bother asking for a team-up." Kaiba said coldly as he walked with deep strides.
"Oh. Okay. Just wanted to warn you about something that's about to happen in 3.2.1." Clunk! A large piece of roof tile fell on top of Kaiba's head. His reaction was to fall unconscious, as the pain knocked him out. NocturneD looked up from where the tile came from, only to see the frown from Phantom Mask's eyes. He stood on the roof, with his arms on each other, under his feet were broken tiles that he used to prevent him from falling.
"Pathetic, Noc. After all that training against that type of deck, you still have difficulty." Phantom Mask said, his arms in a serious fold. NocD tried his best to smile, but decided to rub his nose instead.
"A team battle was not part of the training, and Kaiba wasn't the best partner I would have liked to use." NocD said defiantly, as he scooped up his box and the new locator cards and Tyrant Dragon. He whistled at the stats and pocketed it.
"I hope you have a better excuse when I beat you for the 6th time in a row. After all, I've gained more cash from multiple tournaments than you doing them one-by-one." BEEP! BEEP! Phantom Mask took out a small pager the size of a GBA and his eyes relaxed. "Anyways, I'll be seeing you at the semi- finals, NocD, I expect you not to die beforehand." He produced his staff out of hammerspace and vanished into thin air. NocD felt a slight gust of wind blast by, and smirked.
"Showoff."
The Battleship (Kaiba Craft 3), Lounge Room
"Mr. Pegasus, your guests have arrived." Croquet said over the intercom. Pegasus smiled, as he drank the last of his cocktail wine.
"Thank you Croquet, bring them in."
"Yes Mr. Pegasus."
Three teenagers walked in through the sliding door, a little uneasy about being so high up on an unstudy aircraft. Their greasy hair and black trenchcoats labeled who they were, the infamous trio of the Infamous Yazuka Clan. One was thick-chested, the other was extremely thin, and the leader of the three was tall and very muscular, his hands were wrapped in bandages. Croquet followed behind them, hand on revolver. The two were carrying a very heavy bag, large enough to hold a baby kangaroo or so.
"We got the girls just as you asked, Pegasus. Where's the dough for our beloved Leader?" The leader of the gang asked, his deep scar annoyed Pegasus a little, as it appeared to be bleeding somehow.
"Kemo? Show them the greenbacks." The giant of a bodyguard ran in through the doors, carrying a suitcase. He opened it, showing 5 columns/3 rows of 1 million dollar bills.
"Whoa.." The three thugs were speechless.
"That's Fifteen Million bucks boys. Just drop the sack off there and take the two out. Eerr, you didn't injure them did you?" Pegasus asked, a little worried that they may have killed them.
"Just that girl with the friendship gene. It took over 5 hits from Zan's fist before we could shut her up." They turned and walked out with the briefcase, making small talk about how to split the earnings between them and the boss.
"A pity. Croquet, lock them up in the sound proof room." Pegasus was somewhat relieved, Yugi wouldn't come if they weren't harmed in some way.
"Yes, Master Pegasus. Shall I alert Globex to this new arrival?"
"I doubt it." Pegasus said, brushing his white hair aside to reveal a silver colored Millennium eye, "I'll do it for you." The eye flashed and a shadowy figure dressed in ninja clothes appeared behind Croquet. It took his hand and before he could cry out, they vanished into the floor. Two more appeared in front of the sack, and took it with hem into the darkness abyss."I just love this new toy."
Walkport Street, Domino City
'Man, that pollen storm that girl summoned came out of nowhere. It's if she's from another planet or something.' Yuigi said, walking alongside his astral side, Yami. They had woken up in a street full of people who were twitching from the sakura petals, others were covered in blisters and pimples. They were lucky to get out of there alive, but because of it, they couldn't find a challenger that wasn't dazed by the pollen. They even encountered Mai, who looked like she was at the moment "very ticked off" about some guy in cowboy gear and said that she was going to teach him a lesson with the new cards she'd acquired. Now, they were walking towards a small stadium, which was rumored to have a very powerful duelist inside.
'Yami? Is there something wrong?' Yugi asked, concerned by the serious look that Yami was giving his duel disk.
'I sense that a few of the cards were switched, Yugi. But for some reason I can't access them until we get into a duel.' Yami said, as he looked at the deck in his own disk. Several of the cards were glowing inside, as if they were alive.
'Trust me, Yami, there's got to be a duelist with 2 more locator cards around. I don't want to have Joey's Red Eyes in my side deck for the duration of the tournament collecting dust.' Yugi said confidently, unaware that he actually needed 6 more locator cards in order to get into the finals. That, and his worst enemy is plotting the ultimate termination of Yami.
"What the!" A red-haired man in pink gi brushed past Yugi, nearly knocking him over. Yugi regained his balance, but it was difficult to see the person who did it. A shimmering light forced him to look at his Millennium Puzzle, on it was a scroll of paper with Japanese writing on it. He looked up to see the red haired man turn into light and reverted to a card, which was caught by a green-haired warrior-like figure who just stepped out of the shadows.
"Who are you?" Yugi struggled to ask, as he began to feel light headed. It was if he was in the Shadow Realm again, but much faster. The image of the cloaked figure swirled and blurred rapidly. The figure spoke at last.
"I am a warrior from the past, to finally meet the infamous traitor of a pharaoh you have named Yami. My identity in the real Terra Firma is a secret, but many call me Zoe Mononoke, the Tempest Raider." Zoe stated, as Yugi fainted from the lack of electricity to the brain, and thus Yami took over.
"YUGIOOOOOH!" Beams of light shot down and made him look older, determined and purely focused. "What business do you have with me, Zoe Mononoke? And why have you placed this, this Shinto sheet on my Millennium Puzzle, and send Yugi's mind into a status of unconsciousness?"
"Revenge, my dear Pharaoh. One might say that you are the reason we Authors were summoned there, for you are the only threat that we know personally. I remember the plague you cast on us, a plague of Blue, the only creatures immune to Author Powers. It was them that murdered my little brother and cousin. You may not remember your past, but if you lose to me in a duel, you will recall all your memories in Ancient Egypt." Zoe said, as his Duelist Disk opened up and activated the dueling system.
"Hmm, it sounds interesting, although I have no idea what you're talking about. I imagine if I win I still get the memories?" Yami said, as he too activated his Duel Disk and fired the holo-emitters. Zoe grinned warily in response. "Fine then, let's duel!"

Name:Zoe Mononoke
ATT 3800/DEF 2400
Deck: Fighter
Cards: 40
Traps: High on counters
Weapon: Twin-sickled katana (Gatotsu Splitter attack)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Z: I'll start out by summoning Yahiko in Attack mode! (1300/1100)
Y:Then I'll send out Gamma the Magnet Warrior in attack mode! (1500/1800 ) I imagine you have a unique deck, but Gamma should be able to cut your kendo warrior apart.
Z: Heh, talk all you want, Pharaoh. (Draws) Excellent. I place two cards facedown, and end my turn.
Y: 'He's up to something, but without Yugi, it may be harder for me to draw the right card.' I place one card face down, and have Gamma attack your Yahiko! (Gamma launches at him)
Z: Not so fast! I activate my trap card, Soul of the Samurai! Which boosts my Yahiko by 400 ATT and switches Gamma to defense mode! (Yahiko 1700/1100) Now! Attack! (Yahilo's eyes flash with a hidden fire, as he screams, smashing Gamma's
Y: (LP 4000-4000) Nicely done. 'I don't exactly have a choice right now. I better get a defense out before attacking again.' I summon Kuriboh in defense mode! (Kuriboh pops up and squirms as Yahiko grins evilly.) (Kuriboh 400/300?)
Z: Heh. You fell into my trap. I knew that since your facedown card didn't activate, it was a magic card instead. Element Card, activate! Magic Pawning! This element card will devour one magic card and allow me a free sacrifice of a strong fighter! Behold! The second warrior, Kaoru!(said fighter pops up and stands near Yahiko, both are in attack position) ( Kaoru-1800/1700)
Y: 'How did he know?'
Z: Now, Kaoru! Attack his Kuriboh! Kamiya Kassin Ryu Style! (Kaoru screams as she vanishes and reappears behind Kuriboh, and smashes the fuzzy guy. Yami looks on puzzled)
Y: 'I didn't lose lifepoints, but I better come up with a faster strategy.'
Z:'The Pharaoh has no idea what is in store for him. All I need is 3 more of the special forces, and my special magic card, and Ka-Blam! No more Pharaoh bugging me.'
Y: (draws a card) 'Perfect!' I play Alpha the Magnet Warrior, in attack mode! And place one card facedown. (Alpha pops up and gets ready to rumble)
Z: Well, then, I'll play 2 cards face down, and play this element card! Rebirth of Legends! This card allows me to send two of my opponents cards into the graveyard, awhile I will be able to play a high level monster without sacrificing! Come forth, Kenshin Himura!" (Yami drops the cards into his graveyard reluctantly, and the red haired man from before pops up and puts his hand on his sword) (Kenshin Himura 2300/2200)
Y:I fail to see the strategy behind this swordsman. Is this the strongest in your deck?
Z: Heh. Although it's strong, it's hardly my strongest. But there are things in this that you have yet to understand. Since Rebirth of Legends has been played, I end my turn without attacking.
Y: Fine then! I play Beta the Magnet Warrior! And then, sacrifice my two monsters to play Dark Magician! (Dark Magician 2500/2100)
Z: Heh. 'He should have played Reborn the Monster for Gamma, then he would be able to summon his strongest monster. Baka.'
Y: Dark Magic Attack! And by doing so, I reduce your life points! (The familiar blast shoots out, but Zoe makes no effort to act like surprised or hurt)
Z: (LP 4000-1800) I applaud your efforts Pharaoh, but you see, I was waiting for you to play that strategy. You're not very good on strategies as you are on shifting the cards you want to the top of the deck.
Y: I don't know what you're talking about. I'll place 2 cards face down, in order to keep me safe at the moment. (Two cards appear)
Z: 'Ha!' (draws a card and smiles) I play Medii Torture! We both send our hands to the graveyard and take out 3 new ones. Then I'll play a monster in defense mode! (Misao 1000/1500)
Y:'Hmm, I could just attack, but what if the monster has a special ability? At least I have one of my trap cards in case he tries to destroy my Dark Magician. As well as Magic Cylinder.' I have to go on offensive for Yugi's sake! Dark Magician, attack his defense monster! (Dark Magician fries her)
Z: 'So predictable' Heh, you just destroyed my Misao. She has two special effects when destroyed, one is that you lose one of your magic cards on the field. I pick...the one on the left! (said card is destroyed)
Y: 'My magic cylinder!'
Z: Her other special ability is to call upon her love, even in death, her beloved Aoshi onto the field, in defense mode! (A man in a trenchcoat launches up from the graveyard and defends, using his kodachis) (Aoshi 1800/2600) Go ahead, try to pierce this shield.
Y: 'Great, the defense level is stronger than my attack!' I place one card face down and end my turn. But I warn you, think twice before attacking.
Z: I just did. And seems you ran out of time Pharaoh! Element card activate! Swordsman's Second Wind! This card may reduce me to 1 LP, but in return, I can bring forth four of my strongest warriors on the field, their combined attack will crush you, especially with this! The Magic Card, United We Stand! (1800-1 LP)
Y: What kind of card is that?
Z: It's a rare magic card that will bring forth your ultimate demise! Combining the ATT of all 5 monsters on the field!
Saitou (2100/1900)
Sanosuke (2200/2500)
Kenshin Himura (2300/2200)
Shishio (2600/2100)
Aoshi (1800/2600)
Z: Do the math! That's about 11000 ATT!
Y: Oh no!
Z: Now! United We Stand! Strike now! (The swordsmen extend their blades and slash at the Dark Magician)
Y: Not so fast! I unveil the trap card, Magic Rev Circle! Which will send your attack right back at you!
Z: Wrong! When summoned, Shishio's special ability negates trap cards for one turn! You're through! (The slashes break through, and Yami's shirt gets several rips on it, due to Zoe's Shadow Magic)
Y: Nooooooo! (4000 LP -0 LP)
Z: This duel is over, chump. I have therefore revived you of your title.
**************End Battle***********
"You have lost this battle Pharaoh. You have proven to be a hindrance in our backs, you are nothing without Yugi's Heart of the Cards and his complex strategies. Yugi is the chosen one, destined to be the hero of this tale, you can barely recall defeating Priest Kaiba and his Millennium Rod! Now Pharaoh, prepare to experience the painful Fission Technique that all Authors are capable of! Gatotsu Splitting FISSURE!" Zoe launched himself with one foot, zooming in the stunned Yami, and drew his long sword which shone green. Then everything turned black.
~Ting!~
Kaiba Craft 3-Kaiba's Dueling Room
Globex awoke from his absolute slumber, his hunchwoman, Silver Moon Cat was busy frying up a fish in the grill. One would mistake her for the woman in Urusei Yatsura, only she had a one piece suit on, and it was white instead of yellow. She had white hair, a sharp tooth, and cat-like qualities. Her eyes were also cat-like, due to new genetic changes done to her by force. Her feet and hands were partly nekoized, and she had very real cat ears on her head. She was perhaps the ultimate assassin in Globex's arsenal.
"Zoe has done it for me after all, the fool." Globex said warily, rubbing his beard with his hand.
"Indeed, Master Globex, Samurai-type authors are so easy to fool when Nekos are around." SMC said, as she took out a catnip cigar from Globex's drawer and lit it, very happy.
"That's why you're my #1 agent, Silver Moon Cat. Have the drones been dispatched to destroy what remains of the former pharaoh?" Globex said, hopeful that the pharaoh will be destroyed.
"Yup, Zoe has him into the red zone. There's a 10% chance of survival though." The red zone, Globex thought, is where his battlebox is located. In every corner there lies a deadly arena with a even lethal drone bot with weapons designed to destroy authors.
"That's why my drones are outfitted with the best of my card-type decks and strategies. Even Phantom Mask had problems dealing with their discard and shredder decks." Globex said, joyful.
"Oh, that reminds me. We got a few shipments at the docks where Kaiba was held." SMC said, filing her claws for maximum damage.
"I assume he escaped as I predicted." Globex's eyes turned red and the room started to get cold. In fact, ice formed on multiple sections of SMC.
"Y-yes sir, but Agent Alan had located two God Cards, with his team Gam, aboard the shipments." SMC said, stammering as her 'paws' suddenly froze to the ground.
"Really?" He stoked his beard thoroughly, deep in thought, "Did he mention names at all?"
"Well, I think he said he had Neo-Queen Serenity and Atomsk the Pirate King." She signed relief as the room thawed and she could move her feet again.
"Excellent, with those two in my deck, part 1 of Operation HYDRA will commence. Captives so far?" He smiled, taking out a Polish Cigar, making sure to set the ashes on Seto's favorite chair.
"Tea and Serenity Wheeler have been locked up and gagged in Duke's personal dice dungeon that we installed with the Nano-Software simulator. That bonehead Snap had gone undercover to capture both Slifer and Ra from the Super Saiyan-like Marik. " SMC said Marik like a curse word.
"Which leaves Tristian Taylor. Dispatch a group of Shao hunters to grab him at the hospital. After he's captured, have them attack the Museum. Their makeshift chronoshifters should be able to nullify their presence from the two Millennium holders, Ryou Bakura and Ishizu Ishtar. And contact Snap, I want him to eliminate the talisman holder, Red Dragon Zero, before he once again blows up half a city." Globex said, planning two steps ahead as always.
"Yes, my lord. As you command, NYOW!" She transformed into a white cat in less than a second, her clothes blended in with her fur coat. She purred and jumped on the bookshelf, then out the window. Yes, she was exactly several dozen miles above the ground, but she's a cat and no one likes her.
'Soon, they will be mine once more." Globex said, looking over the city, as dark clouds appeared all over, showing multiple duels were in process.
Back at the street..
Zoe looked at his fallen prey with great disappointment. The former pharoah had felt the power of his blade go right through him, and now he was twitching on the ground. The fission factor was taking effect, as it was if another body was struggling to get out. 'Yugi Moto. What a pleasure it is when I duel you.' Yami lit up and separated from Yugi, sprawled on the ground. Yugi was on the other side, right now a little dizzy from the effects. Like Yugi, Yami was now a soul with flesh and blood, thanks to the power of fission.
"Ow, what happened?" Yugi said, trying to get on his feet. Zoe's eyes glowed purple and the shinto sheet turned into ash. Zoe then enshowered Yugi in a purple aura which covered him head to toe. In a matter of seconds he vanished, perhaps transported to another area.
Zoe smirked, amused at how everything was going to plan. He strode by Yami, who was still in shock, and calmly said, "I wish you the best of bad luck, Pharaoh Yugi. Heh, hahahaha!" He raised his watch in the air and teleported in a flash of light.
'Pharaoh Yugi?' Yami thought, just before his nervous system shut down from over-stress.
Domino Park, Central Hub
Black Panther was a little bored. After getting his things checked in with the hotel, (darn those stupid bellhops and their slowness) he was walking around looking for a worthy opponent. Two hours later, he was frustrated because not one person came up to face him in a duel. It was time to face it, a duelist of his caliber was not made for pick and choose tournaments like this. In fact, Globex was his main target, as thirty mil would definitely pay for any damages he had done before. There was also the fact that SH could be anywhere, 'anything' due to the Chronoshifter's ability to morph. He was a pest, but he was a good strategist when he wasn't showing off. 'Man, it's getting hot. I got to sit down.'
He then sat down on a park bench nearby, starting the birds. Sighing, he took off his black leather jacket, revealing a white T-shirt to go with his khakis. He wished something would happen So, for the next hour or so, Bk just sat there trying to get the Yatta song out of his head, until. . .
"Hey, I remember you!" A strangely familiar voice popped up, a female one at that.
Bk snapped out of his trance. "Huh what?" Once she saw the blond-haired girl, he knew immeadiately why she knew him.

***********************
PS: Well, it looks like we meet again.
Bk: I'm sure it'll be the same result.
PS: I wouldn't be so sure. Prepare to duel. (said judge pops up via hologram and both duelists launch their holo-pad)
Bk: Don't have to tell me.
Judge: Duel all set. Battle Mode: 02029-Authorization rules are in effect...
Bk: Ready?
PS: Yeah! (pumps fist in excitement)
Both: Duel! (Bk: 4000; PS: 4000)
Bk (draws anticlimactically): Hmmm. I play one card face down and end my turn. (DEF card appears and glows)
PS: Hah! What a dumb move. Go, Liger Zero Jager! (1400/1100) Attack with Strike Laser Claw!
Bk: Predictable.
PS: Huh? (Van's Shield Liger is revealed) (1400/1200) Hah, I still won.
Bk: Think again. (Zeke activates the shield and the slash is deflected) You forgot about the Shield Liger's special effect, it's Shield. When it's in DEF position, it can withstand an attack from any card whose ATK is less than 300 pts. greater than its defense. So, theoretically, My Liger has 1500 DEF instead of 1200. However, you do not lose life points. Until now. I summon Tenchi Masaki, the Legendary Warrior! (1800/1000) Attack the Zero Jager with your Tenchiken's blade! (A quick slash destroys the Jager)
PS (4600): Damn it!
Bk: I think it's time for a strategy better than mimicing our last battle.
PS: If you insist, then. I summon Rick Hunter's Veritech in Attack Mode (cue the Rick Hunter theme as he appears in a ground combat-type mecha) (1500/1200) And now, I add Machine Conversion Factory to raise his Attack and Defense 200 pts. (1700/1400) Now, Lt. Hunter, your mission is to open up your gunpod and destroy that Liger. (Liger is blowed up)
Bk (4000): Hm. I don't know what you were trying to accomplish, but it won't help you. I play another monster in defense. Go, Tenchi, attack the Veritech.
PS: Hunter, evasive maneuvers! (The Veritech transforms into a fighter jet and quickly evades the slash)
Bk: What?! No!
PS: Time to take into effect my effect. The Veritech has three modes that represent 3 types Winged Beast (aka Fighter), Warrior (Battleoid), and Dragon (Guardian), and it can change at will, whenever I want. And you know that Warriors such as Masaki can't attack a Winged Beast.
Bk: 'Stupid Attributes' I'll play another card face down and end this turn.
PS: My turn now. (Draws) Heh. I'll play this card face down. Now, Rick Hunter, attack the face down card.
Bk: Gotcha. (Princess of Tsurugi (700/900))
PS (4000 - 3500): Damn it.
Bk: My turn. (Draws) 'God, I love this.' I play Polymerization.
PS: With what? You only have one monster
Bk: Yes, but in my hand, I have one of my favorite monsters, Blaine's Arcanine. (Dadadada dada! Puppy Power!) (L6; 2500/1700) And now, get ready for this, I mix my two monsters together to create the NeoFlame Swordsman. (L9; 3200/2700)
PS: Heh. You may have a powerful creature, but it's still grounded. I activate my down card, Scapegoat (4 little sheep appear) And I'm going to use one of them to bring out the Wing Zero (L5; 2000/1700 ) Then use Customization to create the Angel Wing Zero Custom! (L7: 2700/2300) You may have a great fusion monster, but I still have the air advantage.
Bk: That's where you're wrong!
PS: Huh?
Bk: I activate my Element Card,Fly Card! Release your power and give my monster wings! (The NeoFlame Swordsman gets pretty pink wings.)
PS: Oh, damn. 'But it looks so cute!'
Bk: And now, your monsters have nowhere to hide Neo Swordsman, attack the Veritech! Molten Sword of Battle! (The sword heats up and easily slices through the mecha)
PS: (3500 - 2000): Dammit!
Bk: Now that your points are halfway gone, I think it's high time to rethink your strategies.
PS: Yeah, right. (Draws and smiles) Here's something to interest you. I play Monster Replace to recall my Wing Zero Custom from the field.
Bk: 'That's an odd move. Although the W0C is still weak compared to my Swordsman, it's still probably the best monster she has in her deck.'
PS: And, to replace my Wing Zero, I play Ditto, in Attack Mode. (500/500)
Bk: Eh?
PS: Heh heh heh. Just try and attack my Ditto, and I'll play another card face down.
Bk: Hmmm. 'Something's not right here.' I play one card in DEF mode, and one more face down card. I waive my Battle Phase for this turn.
PS: Awww, how sad. I activate my magic card, Block Attack. (The effect activates Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) And now, you'll see the true power of my Ditto! Transform! (The Ditto shapeshifts and assumes the form of)
Bk: No! Not my Neo Swordsman!
PS: HAHAHAHA! Now you see what I can do. Now, my Ditto Swordsman, attack the Soldier of Stone with your Molten Sword of Battle! (The attack cuts Giant Soldier of Stone into rubble.)
Bk (4000 - 2100): Oh boy.
PS (2000): I'd say the playing field is just about even again, but it won't be for long. Anything you throw on the field my Ditto can copy.
Bk: Hmmm. Anything, huh? Then how about this? I play De-Fusion to break-up my Fusion Combo. (B's A: 6;25/17, TM: 4;18/10)
PS: 'Huh?'
Bk: Arcanine, attack with Fire Storm! (Arcanine flares up now. The fire mass goes towards Ditto)
PS: You idiot. Ditto, transform. Become Blaine's Arcanine! (Ditto starts to transform)
Bk: Activating Trap card! (Flips his card) Redirection!
PS: Uh-oh.
Bk: And since Redirection allows be to pick any eligible monster, I chose for Ditto to copy itself!
PS: What?! That's not possible! (But it is as Ditto becomes Ditto. (L2; 500/500) The attack, unwaivered despite the pause hits and destroys Ditto.)
Bk: Game over.
PS (2000 - 0): No! (Drops to her knees) How could I have lost? (Bk goes over to her)
Bk: You really want to know?
PS (looks up): Mm-hmm.
Bk: Well, I think that your fatal flaw was not switching your monsters to DEF mode once I played my NeoFlame Swordsman. Although it was probable that I didn't have anything that would change the type discrepancy, it was possible and it did happen. Your cockiness combined with a lack of strategy was your downfall. You need to remember that in this game, anything can happen.
PS: I guess you're right.. (Bk helps her up) Bk: Don't be too sad. It was a good duel. I needed every single point of damage to beat you. If you had a Dian Keto, who knows what would've happened.
PS (getting less depressed, more cheerful): Yeah. It was a good duel.
Bk: Uh-huh. Unfortunately, you still have to fork over your Locator Card and your Ditto.
PS: My Ditto? But I thought my Liger Zero Uber was my best card.
Bk: Yes, but Ditto is better because of its level (2) and playability (Normal Summon).
PS: You have a point.
(She is about to hand over the two cards, but a gunshot halts the transaction. The two look to see who it came from. Fourteen robots that appear to have come from Metal Cooler have appeared out of the trees, about three times as big as Black Panther. They sport the logo of Globex on their chests, a red dragon biting it's tail. They are colored black for some odd reason, and were ready for combat.)
Leader droid: You two, I hereby challenge you to a duel for your rare cards! If you do not accept, you will be destroyed. (The other 13 go into combat status, their arms ready to impale the two if non-compliant)

*********************** Phenicia sighed as she readied her gauntlet once more, but Bk waived her off. "But we have no choice," she contested in a loud whisper.
"There is always a choice. Battle City rules permit the formal declination of a challenge." Bk prepared for battle. He was out for blood.
"But they'll kill us."
"Not if we kill them first."
"All right, you two, quit stalling!" the lead droid said. "Accept our duel or suffer the consequences."
"You suffer first, SHOTGUN!" Bk lunged at them, his fist burst out multiple white energy bolts coming from his Chronoshifter. Five were dismantled in the attack, but the others were unfazed, their energy shields were raised. It was down to just nine droids and Bk. "I think we'll decline your challenge."
"It doesn't matter now. You're dead!" The droids launched out three curved gold rods each, that wrapped around Bk and pinned him to the ground. Bk was in disbelief as the rods squeezed, him, the strength was going out into the rods. He was getting more and more weaker, and the droids produced energy rifles from their hips, and aimed.
The dispenser/cannon started to charge up and gather energy. "Say good-bye to Battle City!" The leader announced.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the girl, Phenicia. A strange golden aura surrounded her. The goon's eyes widened. He knew what had happened. It was small, but Phenicia Saeiki had transformed. (----1400/1600)
"I think you forgot someone." Phenicia said as she approached the droids. "It looks like cockiness combined with a lack of strategy will be your fatal flaw. And I do mean fatal." The droids looked on in horror as Phenicia raised her hands up to heaven and gathered a ball of yellow energy. She then lowered her arms parallel to the ground, ready to fire. "Take this, loser! Celestial Moonbeam!!!"
The giant beam of yellow energy enveloped the droids. After it disappeared, he was no more. The energy bands around Bk disappeared and he got up. After the attack, Phenicia quickly detransformed and was quite tuckered out. She was almost ready to topple over. Bk quickly ran over to help her right herself. (600/800 ----)
"Hey, that was pretty impressive."
"Uh-huh," she replied, a little short of breath. "And that, I believe, calls us even, my dear Black Panther."
"Maybe, but you still owe me Ditto."
"Damn," she said with a smile, "I thought you would forget." She quickly gave him her rare card and they went over and sat down on the park bench.
"You gonna be okay?"
"Yeah, I'll live. Just need a couple seconds." After said couple seconds, she got up without trouble. "Well, I guess I should be going, seeing as I'm no longer in the tournament."
Bk stood up. "Well, if you insist." They exchanged a big hug. "I'll see you next time, then."
"You bet. See ya!" Phenicia waved as she head off.
"Bye!" Bk went off in his own direction. It was nice seeing friends, but he still had a tournament to win.
