Part VI: The ultimate fusion! Yugi and Ryo's duel!
Knight: That was a good duel. now, let's sit down and watch the other duels. that Kaiba versus Leon thing will be interesting.
Duke: Yeah, and this duel will be great, too.
Knight: I don't think so. Yugi and Ryo are going to destroy those guys. I have played all of them, expect Stephan, and both Yugi and Ryo are clearly superior. they will be our rivals in the final match.
*meanwhile*
Yugi: all right, Ryo, then, we shall try something different in this duel.
Ryo: if we summon him, it will be impossible to defeat us. only Exodia can finish it.
Yugi: I expect so. I haven't seen that fusion in all my life. but if you say it, I am sure it will work!
*meanwhile*
Bakura: (let's see. Yugi and Ryo are great duelists. but maybe Bones and that guy Stephan.)
Tea: Bakura!
Bakura: Tea! Tristan! How are you?
Tristan: We would be perfect if Joey hadn't lost.
Tea: It was a great duel, but.
Bakura: Well. Joey faced the Champion of Duelist's Kingdom and almost beat him! That was a great result for Joey!
Tristan: Joey is a bit depressed. but he will come round here
Bakura: Well, let's wait for them! (poor Joey. you did that because Knight wasn't playing alone against you. there are only a few people who can stand against Knight, and you are not one of them.I am, and the Pendant will be mine. thanks to my Millennium Ring!)
Mokuba: So let's start! Yugi and Ryo versus Bones and Stephan!
Ryo: It is time to start, Yugi.
Yugi: You are right, Ryo.
Yugi holds the Puzzle. Light starts to flow from it.
Yugi: Yu-Gi-Oh!!!!
Yami: Let's go!
Bones: Why don't you surrender now? You can't do anything against our new decks!
Stephan: That magic trick isn't that impressive, Yugi. let's see what can you do with your deck
Yugi and Ryo: 8000 Bones and Stephan: 8000
Yami: I'll start! A monster in defense position and a face-down card!
Bones: Bad move! I play Armored Zombie and strike your face-down card!
Yami: Poor Mystical Elf. a novice error in the first turn. since my Elf's defense is 500 points greater than your monster's attack, you lose Lps!
Yugi and Ryo: 8000 Bones and Stephan: 7500
Ryo: And now, in my turn, I'll summon one of my best monsters! I tribute the Mystical Elf to summon the Angel Paladin!
Bones: Oh, no!
Stephan: (darn. why do I have such a novice as partner. if Pyro were playing, we would crush these two. But the boss said that I had to play with Bones.)
Ryo: Angel Paladin! Holy Sword Slash!
Yugi and Ryo: 8000 Bones and Stephan: 6800
Ryo: Your go!
Yami: (Perfect! I have got a Mirror Force in the field, and the Dark Magician and a Poly in my hand! This duel is done!)
Stephan: Well. let's play properly, shall we? *draws* Great. I play Machine Mass Production!
(Machine Mass Production: Magic You may play 2 machine type monsters this turn)
Stephan: I'll just play Bat. and.
Yami and Ryo: Bat??????
Stephan: then tribute it to summon Jinzo! Now, traps are powerless!
Ryo: Jinzo. what does that card do?
Stephan: . it is also called Android Psycho Shocker.
Ryo: Oh.it prevents trap activation, then.
Yami: (oh, no!)
Stephan: Jinzo! Crush their little Paladin!
Yugi and Ryo: 7800 Bones and Stephan: 6800
Yami: All right, my go! *draws* (this may be useful, later.) I'll just set a monster.
Bones: Hehe. now you'll fall to our strategy. I summon Dragon Zombie and play this! Stop Defense!
Yami: Oh, no! Gamma is now attacking!
Bones: Exactly! Now, I'll just attack your monster with the Dragon and then. Direct Snap you with Jinzo!
Yugi and Ryo: 5300 Bones and Stephan: 6800
Ryo: (come on. there must be a way to kill that Jinzo. but it will be difficult without traps. If only I drew. )*draws* (great! now, I'll just!.) perfect! I play Guardian of the Throne Room in attack position!
Bones: (he is going to kill my zombie. but that will leave a big hole in their defenses. they are finished!)
Ryo: And now, I play this magic card! Apocalypse! I tribute the Guardian to clear the field!
Stephan: Darn it! Jinzo!!
Ryo: Then, I play Exchange!
Bakura: (Exchange. usually, it is a bad card. but if Ryo uses that card with Yugi... they will be able to see their hands and, that knowledge will give them a big advantage. It is a great move.)
Ryo. All right, I select this card from Yugi's hand!
Yami: And I select this one!
Ryo: (perfect. he got the card I wanted him to get. now, let's start the combo!) I put a card in face-down position and end my turn!
Stephan: You want me to attack you? That is a trap. so I'll just summon Mechanical Chaser and put another card face-down!
Yami: Stephan! You are playing like Bandit Keith! You have got the same style, and you use the same type of deck. Do you know him?
Stephan: More or less. hehe.
Yami: What do you mean by that?
Stephan: That doesn't mind right now. stop talking and start playing!
Yami: All right.*draws* Perfect! I play Beta, the Magnet Warrior in attack position and end my turn!
Bones: You won't bluff me! That card you have got face-down is a magic card for sure! I tribute Stephan's monster to summon Mage Skeleton and attack you!
Stephan: Bones, stupid fool! Cancel that attack!
Yami: Too late!
Ryo: I activate Magic Cylinders!
Yugi and Ryo: 5300 Bones and Stephan: 4400
Bones: I'll just set a trap, then!
Ryo: Now, in my turn, I play Holy Crusader in attack position, then put another card face-down. Your go!
Stephan: Too many traps. That is a bluff! I summon another Mechanical Chaser and attack you
Ryo: I trigger negate Attack!
Stephan: Then it is your turn again, Yugi!
Yami: Our combo is ready! I'll summon the monster I got from Ryo's hand! I tribute both my monsters and summon the Immortal Phoenix!! (2900) Attack the Skeleton Mage! Flaming Wings!
Yugi and Ryo: 5300 Bones and Stephan: 3900
Bones: Darn. *draws* (where is the Tower when I need it???) I set a monster, switch the chaser to defense and finish my turn.
Ryo: Time to finish. I summon another Crusader and kill both your monsters!
Bones: Darn! My Snake Hair!
Stephan: I also think that we should finish. I play Black Hole.
Yami: Our Phoenix will revive!
Stephan: Sure.I summon Guardian of the Throne Room, then Monster Reborn the Phoenix!
Yami and Ryo: Oh, no!
Stephan: Now, I'll attack you directly with the two monsters! Attack!
Yugi and Ryo: 750 Bones and Stephan: 3900
Stephan: You are dead!
Yami: (everything depends on this card. I must trust in my deck. trust in the heart of the cards.but.. what if Knight was right. and the heart of the cards is just a lie. I would fail. No! The heart of the cards exists, and I must believe on it *draws* Great!! I did it. but Ryo will have to finish the duel! I play Monster Reborn!
Stephan: Your Phoenix is now mine.
Yami: I raise the Angel Paladin, and now I play Polymerization!!
Stephan: Oh, no!
Ryo: You did it!
Yami: Angel Paladin and Dark Magician, fuse into the great Fallen Angel!!! (3500/3000) He may attack you directly even if you have got monsters in the field. Fallen Angel! Infernal Firestorm!
Yugi and Ryo: 750 Bones and Stephan: 400
Bones. I. I. I. I. I switch all my monsters to defense
Stephan: Do something else, stupid!!!! Do you want us to lose???
Ryo: Fallen Angel! Infernal Firestorm!!!
Yugi and Ryo: 750 Bones and Stephan: 0
Stephan: Bones. when the Dual Tournament ends. we are going to have a long conversation. You! Yugi and Ryo! If I had played alone, I would have crushed you! I'll fight you someday, and defeat you!
Yami: Sure.
Mokuba: We have now all the finalists! Knight and Duke will face Yugi and Ryo in the finals!! But first, we will see a special combat!!!! Get ready for this!!!
Next chapter: Cross-game strike! The duel of two champions!!
