***********
Kaiba- 4000
Cloud- 4000
***********
"Alright. I place one card face down and call forth my Chocobo."
A yellow bird-like creature shimmered forth into view and gave a warking sound.
---
Chocobo- 1500/1200
---
"What is this, some kind of joke? Then I'll place one card face down and summon Battle Ox in attack mode."
The bull-faced monster emerged, holding a massive ax in his hand
---
Battle Ox- 1700/1000
---
"Battle Ox, destroy his Chocobo!"
The monster rushed forward and slashed the bird, destroying it. Cloud backed away by the slight shock and his life-points decreased slightly
***********
Kaiba- 4000
Cloud- 3800
***********
Kaiba's smirk never wavered, "So far, I'm not impressed. You gave the impression that this would be a more interesting duel, but you've shown me nothing."
Cloud smiled back, "Oh, trust me. I haven't even started, Kaiba." Cloud then looked at his hand, "First, I'll place another card face down." The card shimmered on the ground. "Now I summon my next monster, another Chocobo."
A second bird-like creature appeared on the field and warked.
"This again? This is pathetic."
"Not as pathetic as you think. I now activate the magic card Gysahl Greens and empower my beast to transform in...Chubby Chocobo!"
The Chocobo glow and grew into a fat version of itself, thus raising its attack power.
---
Chubby Chocobo- 2100/2200
---
Cloud then shrugged casually. "I think I'll leave this in defense mode and end my turn."
Kaiba narrowed his eyes. 'What is he doing? His monster has the obvious advantage over mine.' He then looked down at his face down card. 'Unless he's afraid that my face-down card is a trap.'
Looking back up, "No guts, no glory, Strife. Now I activate my magic card, Axe of Dispair, which raises my beast's points by 500."
---
Battle Ox- 2200/1500
---
"And I also summon forth Vorse Raider in defense mode."
---
Vorse Raider- 1900/1200
---
"And finally, I'll place one card face down and end my turn. Show me what you got."
Cloud nodded, "You asked for it. I also place one card face down and summon Bomb in attack mode and end my turn."
A fireball-looking creature appeared next to Chubby Chocobo.
---
Bomb- 900/400
---
"Are you serious?" Kaiba mocked. "This is ridiculous. Your cards are laughable. But if you're in a rush to loose, then so be it. Battle Ox, destroy his Bomb monster!"
The monster rushed again and slashed the monster. But Bomb suddenly expanded in size and exploded, destroying Battle Ox as well.
Kaiba blinked, "What?"
Cloud grinned, "I guess I should have told you Bomb's special ability. When it's destroyed, it destroys the attacking monster as well. It also take away some of your life points, depending on its attack power, cutting you down by 900 points."
***********
Kaiba- 3100
Cloud- 2600
***********
Kaiba shut his eyes softly, "That was quite sneaky, but don't think your amateur skills will get you anywhere here." His eyes snapped open, "I now summon forth my Sky Dragon to the field."
A four-winged dragon materialized and gave a low roar.
---
Sky Dragon- 1900/1800
---
"Make your move."
"I will." Cloud began shifting through his hand. "And I wouldn't judge my skills just yet, Kaiba. I'm not that easy." He chose a card. "I summon Tonberry in defense mode."
---
Tonberry- 1300/2800
---
"And now it's time to attack. Chubby Chocobo, attack his Vorse Raider!"
The Chocobo jumped up in the air and was about to squash the Vorse Raider when...
"Activate trap card, Shadow Spell!" The face-down card lifted up to reveal the trap, which froze Chubby Chocobo in its tracks with a bind of chains.
"What a foolish move. Now you pay the price. Shadow Spell reduces your monsters points by 1000."
---
Chubby Chocobo- 1100/1200
---
"As I said, your skill are amateurish at best. And here he had me hoping for a worthy match." He pointed, "Now Vorse Raider, destroy his Chubby Chocobo!"
Now it was Cloud's turn to grin, "Amateur, am I? Activate trap card, Marboro Tentacles!"
His trap now activated and plant-like vines captured it in the same was Shadow Spell froze the Chubby Chocobo.
"Marboro Tentacles spellbinds any attacking monster for one turn on the turn it's activated. Which means right now, you are powerless to attack with either monster."
Kaiba's grin never faded, "I'm almost impressed. At least you know how to buy yourself time. But it will do you no good." He looked at his hand briefly, "I think I'll pass this turn."
Cloud now stared at his opponent hard, "Okay, Kaiba. Now I'm going to force your hand. First I'll place this card face down." Another card shimmered into view.
"Then I'll sacrifice Tonberry and Chubby Chocobo to summon..."
A massive light flashed out and the clouds above them erupted. A single form burst out from the storm and opened massive wings. A large monster hovered before Cloud, looking dead at Kaiba and his monsters.
"Bahamut, The King of Dragons!"
---
Bahamut- 2800/2800
---
The grin on Kaiba's face now vanished, "What is that?"
Cloud went on to explain, "One of my strongest cards. Bahamut is the ruler of all dragons and as such, possess all their powers. And with your Sky Dragon on the field, Bahamut's own strength increases."
---
Bahamut- 3100/3100
---
Kaiba stepped back in shock, "No way?! That can't be!"
"Bahamut! Mega Flare attack!"
