Chap. 3
"Bahamut! Mega Flare attack!"
The dragon charged its attack, gathering large amount of power before unleashing it on the Vorse Raider. The explosion engulfed the beast and it was promptly destroyed. Kaiba looked on in shock.
***********
Kaiba- 1200
Cloud- 2600
***********
Kaiba was still in wonder. 'I guess he wasn't kidding about his deck. But it'll take more than that to defeat me.'
"What's wrong, Kaiba? Are you going to quit?"
Kaiba glared back, "You wish. I won't be defeated by a loser like you." Kaiba reached into his hand and pulled out a card.
"First, I active magic card Shrink, which lowers my monster's attack points."
---
Sky Dragon- 850/750
---
Cloud looked in confusion. 'Why would he lower his monster's strength?'
Kaiba saw this and grinned as he played his combination trap. "Then I active this magic card, Crush. It destroys any of your monsters on the field whose life points are 1500 or higher. Which means..."
Kaiba didn't have to finish his sentence as the card's effect cam into play. With Bahamut's high attack strength, it was completely annihilated by the card.
"Now! Sky Dragon! Attack his life points directly!"
The four-winged creature flew at Cloud and struck. The blow hit Cloud and he was pushed back.
***********
Kaiba- 1200
Cloud- 1250
***********
Kaiba mocked, "Now what? You can't summon any monster on the field with high power. That only leaves your magic cards to defend you and that won't be of any help either."
Cloud however wasn't set off by his mockery. "This game isn't over yet." Cloud shuffled through his hand.
"I'll play Huge Materia in defense mode."
The image shimmered revealing a large blue crystal.
--------
Huge Materia- 0/2500
--------
"And I'll place another card face down." Another card formed next to the first face down card. "And that'll end my turn."
"I guess defense is the only other thing you have. I'll summon my Steel Ogre Grotto in defense mode."
-----------
Steel Ogre Grotto- 1400/1800
----------
"And I'll place this card face down." Another face-down card. "Your move."
Cloud looked over the field briefly, "It's kind of silly to play a card that doesn't give you an advantage, Kaiba."
"That's where you're wrong." Kaiba retorted. "I can fight under these conditions, but you can't. I will crush you in no time."
Cloud shook his head slightly, "There you go underestimating me again. You'll find that to be a grave mistake, Kaiba. One that I will teach you."
"Oh really? And just how do you expect to do that?"
Cloud reached into his decked and pulled out a card. He smiled at the result and looked back at Kaiba. "By getting rid of your Crush card! I now activate magic card, Maiden's Kiss. It cancels the effects of all magic cards active on the field."
"You were pretty lucky to draw that card."
"Luck had nothing to do with it." Cloud answered back.
Kaiba gave him a strange look and then chuckled to himself, "Let me guess. You trusted in your 'heart of the cards'."
"That's right."
Kaiba now laughed out loud, "If I have to deal with this nonsense from you, I may as well leave now. But this is turning into an interesting match, so I wouldn't deny myself the pleasure." He pulled a card from his hand. "Now I summon Hourglass of Life to the field and place this in defense mode."
--------
Hourglass of Life-700/600
-------
"That should be enough. Now make your move."
Cloud eyed him warily, "Hmm. You're a clever one, I'll give you that. We'll just see how this turns out." Pulling up a card, "I now summon Ifrit, the fire demon!"
The flaming monster shimmered into view in a circle of fire.
-------
Ifrit- 1700/1200
-------
"Ifrit, destroy the Sky Dragon!"
Ifrit summoned a sphere of fire around itself and dashed forward, burning straight through the Sky Dragon and eliminating it.
***********
Kaiba- 350
Cloud- 1250
***********
"Are you ready to quit yet?" Cloud mocked.
"Not quite. I active magic card, Gift of the Mystical Elf." The face down card lifted and went into effect. "This will give me 1500 life points."
***********
Kaiba- 1850
Cloud- 1250
***********
"And I place this one face down. That'll be enough for now."
'What is he doing?' Cloud wondered. "Fine then. If that's how you want it. Ifrit, destroy his Hourglass of Life."
Ifrit roared again and blazed through the Hourglass. Even though it was in defense mode, it was still destroyed. Just what Kaiba wanted.
"Fool! You fell right into my trap. By destroying the Hourglass, you allowed me to revive four of the strongest monsters in the graveyard at the cost of 1000 life points."
***********
Kaiba- 850
Cloud- 1250
***********
"And not just my monsters. Yours as well. The strongest of your graveyard. Which means I now control Bahamut!"
True to his words, four monsters appeared on the field on his side. Battle Ox, Chubby Chocobo, Sky Dragon and last, but not least, Bahamut.
-----
Battle Ox- 2200/1500
Chubby Chocobo- 1100/1200
Sky Dragon- 1900/1800
Bahamut- 3100/3100
-------
Kaiba laughed, "How does it feel to be on the other side of Bahamut?"
Cloud glared, but shot back, "Then what are you waiting for?"
"Oh you don't get off that easily. See I had this entire game strategize from the start. I was merely biding my time. And it has now come. I'll sacrifice all four monsters and summon two of my Blue-Eyes White Dragons!"
Battle Ox, Chubby Chocobo, Sky Dragon and Bahamut vanished from view and were replaced with two of the most powerful monsters in Duel Cards. The two dragons emerged, each with a mighty roar.
"RRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
--------
Blue-Eyes White Dragon- 3000/2500
Blue-Eyes White Dragon-3000/2500
---------
"I could finish you right now, but I'm going to wait." Kaiba mentioned. "I want you to feel the wrath of a true dragon, for soon you will bear witness to the power of the Ultimate Dragon. And there's nothing you can do about it!"
