Part XVIII: Blue-Eyes Strike! A way full of traps!
*Shadow Mountain, 10.00 AM*
The first match is about to start. the duel arena located deep on the Mountain is now activated, two of the sixteen metal doors open. A duelist dressed completely in black and wearing a hood, which reveals only a part of his face enters silently. His opponent, known by everybody is the great Blue-Eyes White Dragon duelist: Seto Kaiba
Kaiba: So, you are my opponent. well, get ready to face my mighty trio of Blue-Eyes White Dragons!
Odion: let's see if you are any good dueling. you may be famous and have good cards, but I have dueled people with better decks! You will fall before the power of the Ghouls!
Kaiba: Then. let our duel begin!
Kaiba: 8000 Odion: 8000
Kaiba: All right, Mr. Strange-Writing-In-face. Let's see who starts. We'll lift our decks, and show our last card. The one with the strongest monster chooses. if it is a magic or trap card, it counts as a monster with 0 attack!
Odion: A stupid rule. but if we must do it like that. *raises deck* it is a Giant Soldier of Stone
Kaiba: Mine is. Megamorph, all right, choose. who starts?
Odion: me. *draws six cards* I set three cards and a monster in face-down position, your go.
Kaiba: Are you going to start defending since the first turn. all right *draws* I play Vorse Raider in attack position and crush your monster!
Odion: You have just killed my Needle Worm. It removes five cards from your deck and sends them to the graveyard
Kaiba: Darn it! There goes my first Blue-Eyes White Dragon! All right. I set two cards and end my turn
Odion: *draws* Bah, I won't do anything. I'll let you have another turn
Kaiba *draws* all right! Let's see what can you do against this! I play Battle Ox in attack position and.
Odion: And, nothing. I activate Torrential Tribute to kill all monsters in the field!
Kaiba: Wrong move! I'll use one of my own traps! Seven Tools of the Bandit to prevent your trap from functioning!
Odion: Two people can play that game. I activate my own Seven Tools of the Bandit. we lose 1000 Lps Each, but your monsters disappear!
Kaiba: 7000 Odion: 7000
Odion: Since you can't do anything else, it is my turn, I set two cards face-down and another monster
Kaiba: Are you trying to use an effect monster again, Odion? I play Nobleman of Crossout on your little monster!
Odion: I thought that the holder of the legendary Blue-Eyes would be a better duelist. sadly. I activate Imperial Order to destroy your Nobleman of Crossout!
Kaiba: Darn it. (hell. this man uses a lot of traps. but I don't have a Jinzo or a Royal Decree in my deck. I can't lose in the first round to a ghoul. let's see. I have got the Polymerization here. but he surely has got a trap. I'll have to wait but maybe.) I set a monster and put another card face-down
Odion: You are one of the worst duelists I know! You aren't fit even to be a Ghoul. I destroy my Imperial Order..Master Marik told me to be careful if I faced you, but I can't understand why did he say that. I flip my Needle Worm and make you discard another five cards ! Now, I tribute this little worm for a monster in defense position!
Kaiba: Stupid fool! You have insulted me and the Kaiba family! Now, here is my gift for you! I tribute Saggi, the Dark Clown and activate Crush Card!!! What are you going to do without strong monsters??
Odion: Oh. what I pity I don't have any monster with 1500 or more attack in my entire deck!
Kaiba: What???? That is impossible!!
Odion: It isn't! now, your go!
Kaiba: Now, you have done it. I have got the card that will end this duel! I play Monster Reborn and bring out my Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Blue-Eyes!!! Crush his monster!!!
Odion: My Millennium Shield has got a defense of 3000 points. enough to stop your dragon's attack! Now, in my turn, I set another monster and end my turn
Kaiba: You are going to suffer for this. *draws* (perfect, another Blue- Eyes! Now, I just need the third to use the polymerization!) I'll have to crush your monster or you'll flip it anyway! blue-Eyes! White Beam!!!
Odion: You have activated my morphing Jar! We'll discard our hands and draw five new cards!!!
Kaiba: (darn it. there goes my Poly. now. there must be something I can use in my new hand. let's see. the third Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Saggi the Dark Clown, Vorse Raider, Cyber-Stein and Heavy Storm. um. maybe.)
*meanwhile*
Knight: (come on Kaiba! This guy is trying to deck you out!! I thought you were a duelist worth my notice! I could crash this Ghoul in three turns! What's wrong with you????)
*KC stadium*
Mokuba: This match is getting serious. Seto Kaiba is having trouble against the discard deck of Odion! Kaiba has got only 15 cards left in his deck! (Come on, Seto. you can't lose now.)
*back at Shadow Mountain*
Odion: I set another card and put a monster in defense face-down position! Your go!
Kaiba: *draws* Perfect! I play Nails of Dragon on my Blue-Eyes, raising its attack to 3800 points! Enough to finish your Millennium Shield! White Beam!!!
Odion: I activate Widespread Ruin! I can destroy one of your attacking monsters, and, since you just have the Blue-Eyes it will die!!
Kaiba: no!!!! My Blue-eyes White Dragon!!! I set a monster.
Odion: All right, now, in my turn, I activate my third Needle Worm and make you discard of another five cards! Your deck will run out in a few turns! Now, I tribute it for another face-down monster!! Your go!
Kaiba: (I have lost my Raigeki too. I can lose if I don't focus on the combat. darn. *draws* my last opportunity is. my combo. but. I need the last card of my deck.) darn. I play Vorse Raider in attack position and end my turn
Odion: *draws* all right. now, say goodbye to the rest of your deck! I play Kamikaze Destruction!
(Kamikaze destruction: magic/quick: tribute a monster to remove a number of cards from the opponent's deck to the graveyard equal to the monster's level)
Odion: You lose another five cards of your deck because I tribute the Shield! You are dead, Kaiba! I am all set
Kaiba: *draws* let's end this, Odion! I play Pot of Greed!!
Odion: Are you going to suicide, Kaiba??? Well. I don't care!! You have just drawn the last two cards of your deck!!
Kaiba: Perfect, just as I expected! Stop Defense on your monster!!! Now you'll have to reveal what it is!!
Odion: No. Magic Jammer! I annulate your card. now, say goodbye Kaiba. Why the hell are you laughing??
Kaiba: hehe. Odion. you have fallen in my trap! This duel is over for you!! Get ready to face my most powerful monster! First of all, I play Heavy Storm, finishing all traps in the field! The Stop Defense was only a bait for your Magic-counter Traps! Now, I play Black Hole and clear the field!
Odion: There isn't a single monster in the field who can remove 7000 LPs from me!!
Kaiba: there is! Cyber-Stein!!! I can play a monster from my fusion deck by spending 5000 of my Lps, get ready to face the best monster of the game! The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!!! (4500)
Odion: that's not enough!
Kaiba: It is! I equip him with Megamorph!!!! As long as I have got less LPs than you, its attack is doubled! That leaves the Dragon with 9000 points of attack! So!!
Odion: no. Master Marik. I failed.
Kaiba: Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon! Mega Neutron Beam!!!!!
Kaiba: 2000 Odion: 0
Kaiba: Try to stop THAT!!! Seto Kaiba is unstoppable!!!
Odion: .
Kaiba: All right, mr Odion. your door has opened.. Get out. you will be able to see the other duels. outside, we have installed a screen. when the first round is finished, the helicopter will take all losers to the stadium.
Something makes a noise. a trapdoor above the Duel Field opens and an elevator descends.
Kaiba: I'll go this way. to where the second round shall start!
Odion:. (I'll leave. and watch. master Marik.)
*KC stadium, 10.20 AM*
Mokuba: Seto Kaiba has won!!!!! Seto Kaiba has won!!! He passes to the second round!!! Now, let the second duel start! Pyro versus Yugi Moto!
