Part XVI: When Light and Darkness ally.an unlikely alliance!!!
Umbra: So, do you know the rules for a Double Duel?
Ryo: I won the Dual Championship! I think that means I do, stupid ghouls!
Lumis: Oh, we won't play by the KC dual rules. you see, that rules make the Double Duel function exactly like a normal duel.
Umbra: And with our rules, we shall prove who of us is worthy of being called duelist
Knight. Are you going to keep talking all day or could you explain that new rules to me so I can beat you early. I would like to prepare my deck for the finals
Lumis: You won't reach the finals. this is your last duel.
Umbra: We will take your rare cards and your Pendant and give them to master Marik!
Knight: Do you think I am going to bet my Pendant?
Umbra: you have no choice.. if the holder of a Millennium Item loses a duel, the opponent may decide to take it.
Umbra: Now, I shall explain the rules! We all have our own monsters and sets, which can't be used by the opponent. However, a defensive trap may be used on your partner, if you want to. You can also use the magic cards that target "you" on your partner. Each player has got 8000 LPs. If anyone loses all his LPs, his partner loses too. Now, shall we start???
Ryo: Let's go! Knight. we'll have to play as a team
Knight: I don't need a lot of help from your light monsters. but, if your weak deck makes you lose, I lose too, so I'll have to team with you!
Lumis: let's start!!
Knight: 8000 Ryo: 8000 Umbra: 8000 Lumis: 8000
Umbra: Knight will go first, then me, then Ryo and then my partner! Nobody can attack before we all have had a complete turn!
Knight: All right! I set a monster, put a card-face down and end my turn!
Umbra *draws* perfect!!!! This card is one of the best I know if you are Double Dueling! I play Ultimate Alliance!
(Ultimate Alliance: magic. From now on, the LPs of your partner and you add up. You share the same Lps and you both lose if it is reduced to zero)
Ryo: Darn! Look at their LP meter!
Knight: 8000 Ryo: 8000 Umbra and Lumis: 16000
Knight: that means we have to remove 16000 Lps from them??????
Umbra: Exactly! And if we manage to kill one of you, you will say goodbye to the duel! I set a monster and a face-down card, too
Joey: Yugi. this is getting very difficult to Ryo.
Yugi: I know, Joey.
Ryo: All right! Now, in my turn, I play Neo, the Magic Swordsman in attack position, put a card face-down and end my turn!
Lumis: All right. Now, I play Monster Exchange
Ryo: Another team card????
(monster exchange: Magic/continuous: you may use your partner's monster as tributes. Your partner may use your monsters as tributes)
Lumis: now, I sacrifice Umbra's monster to play Summoned Skull! and end my turn. Oh! I almost forgot! I set another card
Knight: Big failure, Lumis! You have left your partner without monsters! So, I'll do the same you did! I tribute my Wall of Souls to get Summoned Skull and attack Umbra's life points directly!
Umbra: You are a big fool! I activate Mirror Force
Knight: That won't work! I trigger Seven Tools of the Bandit! Now, I can remove a good number of your LPs paying 1000 of mine! Dark Claw!
Knight: 7000 Ryo: 8000 Umbra and Lumis: 13500
Umbra: Lumis. don't repeat that again!!! All right! Now it is my turn! I play Mask of the Accursed on your monster, Knight! It can't attack nor change position and you'll lose 500 LPs at the start of all your turns! Now, I play Vorse Raider and use Mask of brutality in him! Vorse Raider! Slash that little Swordsman!!!
Knight: 7000 Ryo: 6800 Umbra and Lumis: 13500
Ryo: it isn't such a good move. your mask of brutality will make you lose 1000 Lps at the start of every turn. well. I play Dunames Dark Witch and equip her with Lightbringer! Now, with its attack of 2800 points, I can slash your Skull! Attack!
Lumis: No way! I activate mask of Weakness! It reduces your attack by 700 points, allowing me to kill your Dumanes!!!
Knight: 7000 Ryo: 6400 Umbra and Lumis: 13500
Ryo: Darn it! I'll set two cards, then!!
Knight: Ryo!!! Be more careful, or you'll make us lose!!! I don't want to be eliminated because my partner played as a novice!!!!
Ryo: .
Lumis: Well. now, in my turn, I play Melchid, the Four Face Beast! It is time to crush your Lps, Ryo! Attack!
Ryo: Ha! I'm not stupid enough to leave myself defenseless! You have triggered the same trap Umbra tried to use! Mirror Force!!!
Lumis: Oh, no!!! Well. I don't care. Knight's Skull is completely stopped thanks to our Mask! And we have too many life Points!!!
Knight: That's what you think! I lose 500 Life Points, all right!! But now, you are going to face my wrath! I tribute the Skull to use my mighty Lord of Darkness!!!
Umbra: Darn it! Lumis. I thought this was going to be an easy match! Start playing correctly!!!!
Tea: They are doing it. Umbra and Lumis are no match for Ryo, even with their team cards!
Yugi: The match has just started. and Umbra and Lumis don't look like novice duelists!
Knight: Lord of Darkness!. attack Lumis!
Knight: 6500 Ryo: 6400 Umbra and Lumis: 11000
Knight: I set two cards and end my turn!!
Umbra: Great. I lose 1000 Lps, but I have got a Vorse Raider with an attack of 3400 points!
Knight: (come on.. attack me and you'll see the surprise I have got prepared for you!!!)
Umbra: *draws* Lumis. let's try the number 4
Lumis: All right. number 4. I have got the right cards!
Umbra: First of all, I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy one of your sets!
Knight: Darn it! My Shadow Pit!!
Umbra: and now, I'll strike your friend Ryo with my almighty Vorse Raider! Slash him!!!
Knight: 6500 Ryo: 3000 Umbra and Lumis: 11000
Ryo: Darn it. (another one like that, and we are finished!!!!) all right *draws* hm. maybe this will work. but. Knight has to help me. I don't have the Lightning Strike. so. this monster needs to be safe. but wait! Maybe if. all right! I play Holy Crusader in attack position and attack Lumis directly!
Knight: 6500 Ryo: 3000 Umbra and Lumis: 9100
Knight: (Ryo has left a monster in attack! If they manage to attack him, it is all over!!!! I'll have to use this trap.)
Lumis: All right, now, it is time to say goodbye!! I play Snatch Steal on my partner's monster! Switching its control to me and adding 1000 to our Life Points each time Umbra plays! Now, I'll play Dragon Zombie too and finish you, Ryo! Say goodbye!!!
Ryo: no!
Knight: Wait. I activate another card. Negate Attack!!!!
Lumis: Oh.. that will save you for a turn. all right. your go
Knight: Ryo. I have got a plan. just bring out a powerful monster, right? First of all, I'll attack Umbra with my monster, the Lord of Darkness!
Knight: 6500 Ryo: 3000 Umbra and Lumis: 6600
Knight: We have got you.I set another two traps.
Umbra: All right! Say goodbye! I play
Knight: Does the word "command" suggest you anything?
Umbra: No! You aren't going to use that card on me, are you?
Knight: Of course I am going! I activate Word of Command on you!!! Now. hehe. you know, that "monster exchange" card is going to help me a lot I play Curse of the Masked Beast and summon the masked Beast by tributing your partner's monsters and discarding your Masked Hellraiser!!!!!
Umbra: You can only tribute 8 stars!!! You can't do that!
Knight. count. 4 starts of the Vorse Raider, 3 more from the Zombie, and to complete that, the Masked Hellraiser!!!
Umbra: Oh, no!!
Ryo: Great move! Now, I *draws* ha! Even better! Polymerization! Angel Paladin and Great Gold Wyrm! Fuse into the Warrior of Sky!!! And now, End of Darkness!!!! I crush your Masked beast!!!
Knight: wait!!! Do you have a Scroll of Bewitchment, Ryo???
Ryo: Yup. I was going to turn his Raiser into the light attribute and use my Angel to control him. but I got the Poly.
Knight: Change your warrior's element to Darkness. and I will end this!
Ryo: Sure? Well. all right! I play Scroll of Bewitchment! Now, strike them!!!
Knight: 6500 Ryo: 3000 Umbra and Lumis: 3100
Knight: And now, the last card! Dark Berserker!!!!!
Umbra: No!!!!
Ryo: Crush him!!!!!!
Knight: 6500 Ryo: 3000 Umbra and Lumis: 0
Yugi: They won!

Tea: Great work, Ryo!!
Umbra: they have.won
Lumis: they have. destroyed us. even with our decks. we didn't stand a chance against them
Umbra: Master Marik is going to be furious.
Knight: now. give me your Locator and your Mask of Brutality, Lumis
Ryo: hand your Locator and your Ultimate Alliance, Umbra
Lumis: here they are, but now. aaaaaaaatgh!!! Master Marik!!! No!!!! Don't!!!
Umbra: Oh, no!!! I won't let you enter my mind! I'll run! You won't catch me!!!!
Lumis: Knight, Ryo, Yugi. I didn't expect you to give me this amount of trouble!!!! All right, you are in the finals! But, there, you will face the real me! not just my puppets! Say goodbye to your Millennium Items and cards!!
Lumis hits the ground
Knight: funny. well. I'm leaving! I want to prepare my deck for the finals! I'll beat you tomorrow, Ryo! See you!
Knight leaves
Yugi: well. we all should go home, too. tomorrow will be a great day!
