Part XV: Knight of Darkness, Knight of Light again
*Duke's shop, at the same hour that Ryo's duel*
Knight: Duke. have you qualified?
Duke: Yes, I have! I got my sixth Locator yesterday, so I'll be in the finals tomorrow! What about you?
Knight: I have got five. so, please, do me a favour? Has Ryo qualified?
Duke: Um. let's see *turns on the computer* no. he has got five Locator Cards too, I'll print his current location for you if you want.
Knight: Great idea! I'll qualify for the finals and eliminate Ryo too! He will be my opponent. Oh, by the way, I want you to have this card, Duke
Duke: The Red-eyes Black Dragon??? You need the three of them in your deck!!
Knight: I have got four right now. and if one of my allies is going to the finals, he'll need good cards. so, here it is.
Duke: I'll take it then.
Knight: I am going! I'll find Ryo, and kick him out of Battle City Tournament!
Knight leaves the shop, and heads to where Ryo is, however, five minutes later, something strange happens. A Kaiba Corp helicopter appears on the skies, and starts to descend. The helicopter lands, and somebody jumps off it.
Kaiba: Knight, I found you! Darn! Why don't you have six Locator Cards yet??? I thought you were a good duelist!
Knight: Kaiba. I was heading to where Ryo Hazuki is. he will be my last opponent!
Kaiba: All right. get inside the helicopter! I'll take you there, and meanwhile, we can talk!
Both of them jump into the helicopter, it takes off and heads to the circus- like place where Ryo is.
Kaiba: Knight. you'll better win. oh, by the way, there are only two duelists with exactly five Locator Cards in the city now: you and Ryo. so, only one of you shall enter the Finals. and Knight. you are the only duelist who can compare with me, so I expect you to qualify.
Knight: Kaiba. I'll be in the finals. and get ready because we will probably duel there.
Kaiba: Yes.you owe me a rematch.And this time, my Blue-Eyes White Dragon will finish you.
Knight: Your Blue-Eyes can't compare with my Black Skull Dragon or my Dark Dragon Knight.
Kaiba: Well, Knight, here we are. let's land.
*meanwhile*
Policeman: So, that's what happened. all right, we shall take this guy with us. don't worry, he won't harm anyone for a long time!
Ryo: Thanks for coming so fast.
Policeman: You don't need to thank us.
The policemen leave, taking Arkana with them
Ryo: Well. everything is over.
Yugi: Ryo. here, have this.
Ryo: One of your Locator Cards. but Yugi..
Yugi: Look, he was searching for me, not for you, and you haven't got the last Locator Card because of all this. and I won't let you to be eliminated from the Tournament because you saved Tea! So, take it!!!
Ryo: Yugi, I can't accept that card. and.
Yugi: Ryo. take this or.
Knight: He doesn't need to take that Locator Card, Yugi!
Yugi: Knight!
Ryo: What the hell are you doing here???
Knight: Ryo. we're going to fight, you and me. let's see who of us is the best duelist
Yugi: He doesn't need to fight you, he has got all the Locators.
Ryo: Yugi. let me handle this. I don't need your Locator. because, Knight is going down! I'll finish you now!!
Knight: Sure. hit me with everything you've got! Now, let's go outside and have our duel!!
*five minutes later*
Knight: Shall we start, Ryo?
Ryo: Duel disc ready!
Knight: 8000 Ryo: 8000
Joey: This is going to be a great duel! Ryo is going to have a hard time playing Knight
Yugi: if he believes in his deck, he cannot lose!
Tea: (Ryo. win this match. you can't be eliminated of the Tournament. I would never forgive myself if you got out. it would me my fault)
Ryo: I start! Let's see how can you handle this! I play neo, the Magic Swordsman in attack position and set a card face-down, your go!
Knight: Ryo.. do you really expect me to fall on that trap??? I set a monster and end my turn!
Ryo: Perfect. I was bluffing. it wasn't a trap card! I play Dunames Dark Witch and equip her with the face-down card! Lightbringer!
Knight: Darn it! Noooo!
Ryo: I crush your monster with Neo and then.!
Knight: And then. nothing, you flipped my Man-Eater Bug, which means your witch is destroyed!
Ryo: Oh, no!
Knight: That bluff was so obvious. now, in my turn, I play Vorse Raider in attack position and strike your little Swordsman with it!
Knight: 8000 Ryo: 7800
Knight: now, I set a card and end my turn
Ryo: *draws* You are trying to use the same bluff I did! I play Holy Crusader and attack your monster!
Knight: You have triggered my trap! The Shadow Pit! Your monster's attack stops and he loses 500 attack points
Ryo: I set a card, then
Knight: All right, now in my turn *draws* umm. perfect, I play Mechanical Chaser in attack position and now, I use this magic card, the Harpie's Feather Duster to remove your Mirror Force.
Ryo: How did you know that it was a mirror Force?
Knight: Wasn't it obvious? You always play that trap when you are open to attacks! Now, I'll kill your monster with the Raider and Direct Snap you with the Chaser!!
Knight: 8000 Ryo: 5450
Joey: Darn it! Ryo is having a difficult match!
Yugi: He has just started badly. but he can still win
Tea: Come on, Ryo!!!! You must win this duel!! Do it for me!!
Knight: "Do it for me." Pathetic. your turn, Ryo!
Ryo: (darn. I'm not losing to Knight!!!, the duel seems difficult, but I can beat him! I have got over most difficult duels *draws* (no low-level monsters!!! But, wait. ha! Let's see if he can handle this) I play Polymerization! Angel Paladin and Great Gold Wyrm fuse into the Warrior of Sky!!! You won't be able to get past this one! Warrior of Sky! Crush his Raider with your Skylance!
Knight: 6400 Ryo: 5450
Knight: Curse you. *draws* (darn! I have got a poly, but I need some monsters to use it with them) All right! I switch my monster back to defense position, and play a card face-down!
Ryo: That's what I was expecting. *draws* all right, I set a monster and play this! Stop Defense!
Knight: Oh, no! You'll be able to destroy my LPs!
Ryo: exactly! Sky Lance!!!
Knight: 4750 Ryo: 5450
Knight: darn. (*draws* Perfect!!! ) I play Card Destruction! Now, we discard our hands and draw the same amount of cards. and guess what do I have here? I trigger my face-down card, the Polymerization and bring out the Dark Dragon Knight! Ha!!!
Ryo: That card has got 100 attack points less than my Warrior of Sky! In my turn, I'll play Neo, the Magic Swordsman in attack position and strike your dragon with mine!!!
Knight: I activate this from my hand.. Sword of the Dark Lords!
Ryo: You can't equip cards in my turn, Knight!!
Knight: Ryo. remember that can play this card as a quick magic if I discard it at the end of turn! And, since you are attacking a monster with more attack points that yours.
Knight: 4750 Ryo: 5050
Knight: And now, in my turn, I'll crush your poor pathetic swordsman! Darklance!!
Knight: 4750 Ryo: 3350
Ryo: Oh, no. Darn it.
Yugi: Come on, Ryo. you can't lose this match!
Tea: Finish this guy! You can do it!!!
Knight: Don't worry, Ryo. I'll kill you soon. but don't worry. when I finish you, at least you will be able to cry on the shoulder of your girlfriend.
Ryo: You are the one who is going to lose! My friends are backing me up, and that's something you don't have! *draws* I activate my monster, Morphing Jar, to make us draw five new cards! And now, face this combo! Scroll of Bewitchment on my Jar, switching its attribute to light and then Apocalypse to finish your monster!
Knight: Darn you!!!
*meanwhile*
(???: Should we start, Master Marik??
Marik: Yes. start before one of them actually wins)
Knight: *draws* (I can't believe this. I've got him!!!!) All right, Ryo, say goodbye!!! I play.
However, before he can finish the phrase, two men covered in black hoods appear
Umbra: Activate Disc Locker!!!!
Lumis: Activate Duel Canceller!
Knight: What the!!! Who are you????
Umbra: You are fighting us.
Lumis: We have got 5 Locator Cards too, so we challenge you to a Double Duel. and thanks to this little device, your duel has ended in a tie, and now, you are going to face us
Ryo: And what if don't accept??
Umbra: You have accepted to fight us. at least, that's what the KC database says.so, if you don't fight, we take your cards
Yugi: Cheaters!!!
Joey: Ryo and Knight fighting together???? Their decks are opposites!!!!
Tea: They'll win.. They have to win.
Next chapter. When Light and Darkness ally.an unlikely alliance!!!
