Chap. 4
"You should finish me now Kaiba, while you still have the chance".
"You must be desperate to think I will fall for something as obvious as that." Kaiba mocked. "You'll get yours soon. And since it's still my turn, I'll activate my second Gift of the Mystical Elf magic card."
***********
Kaiba- 2350
Cloud- 1250
***********
"That'll end my turn." He then indicated to his monsters, "As you can see, you clearly are outmatched. And when my ultimate monster awakens, it will be over for you."
Cloud didn't respond as his eyes seemed to be searching for something in his hand.
"What's the matter? Is your defeat becoming clear to you now?"
Cloud answered, keeping his eyes on his hand though, "It's not over until it's over Kaiba. If you think that you have the advantage, then you are sorely mistaken." He looked up, "I've studied all your duels Kaiba, and I know what you are capable of. I'm not some fool who goes into a duel half-cocked and you will realize that now! First, I'll summon forth Leviathan, the sea serpent emperor!"
A watery serpent emerged onto the field with a loud shriek.
Sheeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
-------
Leviathan- 2000/800
------
Cloud then looked down at his face-down card, "And I'll also activate magic card, Hi-Potion, which grants me 500 life points."
***********
Kaiba- 2350
Cloud- 1750
***********
"That'll do for now."
"You think that will help you? It'll just cripple you more." Kaiba pointed out, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack his Leviathan with White Lightning!""
The first Blue-Eyes powered up and fired its blast. But somehow, Leviathan survived the blast.
Kaiba was surprised again, "What? Why wasn't it destroyed?"
Cloud grinned, "I guess I should have warned you again. My Huge Materia has a special effect in defense mode. When you attacked my monster with your Blue-Eyes, Huge Materia activated by cutting your beast's attack points in half. Meaning you Blue-Eyes is now at only half strength."
--------
Blue-Eyes White Dragon- 1500/2500
-------
Kaiba frowned slightly and looked on and Cloud continued to talk, "Of course, you could always attack my Huge Materia, but then there's my face down card. Could it be a trap? Or perhaps something even worse?" He tapped his head lightly, "Decisions, decisions."
Kiba's frown grew, but suddenly his arrogant grin came back up.
"Hmph, I know a bluff when I smell one."
Cloud locked his gaze with him, "Then why don't you make your move?"
"I will. Blue-Eyes White Dragon. White Lightning attack!"
The second dragon gave a bellow as it charged the energy and fired at the Huge Materia. The crystal monster was destroyed, but no life points were taken as it was in defense mode.
"So much for your bluff. And I'll place this monster card face-down." He looked up at Cloud. "This duel is about to be over."
Cloud looked over his hand and found nothing to use. Seeing this, he pulled a card from his deck and smiled at the result, "I doubt that, for now I will sacrifice my Ifrit and Leviathan to bring forth Neo Bahamut!"
The two monsters disappeared and Bahamut emerged, different from the last one. This one was a flaming red color with four jagged wings.
------
Neo Bahamut- 3000/3000
------
Cloud continued, "And since it is still Bahamut, he draws his power from the dragons as well. And seeing as how you have two Blue-Eyes on the field, well you can do the math."
------
Neo Bahamut- 3600/3600
------
Cloud ordered, "Neo Bahamut! Giga Flare on his face-down monster!"
Kaiba's grin however, didn't fade. "That's not going to happen. My monster is Invitation to Dark Sleep. By attacking, you let it use its special ability, spellbinding your monster and stopping his assault."
The face-down card turned upward, revealing the creature and dispersing Neo Bahamut's Giga Flare as well.
------
Invitation to Dark Sleep- 1500/1800
-----
Kaiba shook his head, "I admit that your monsters are pretty good. It's a shame that they're in the hands of a rank amateur."
"Already talking like you've won. I told you, this duel isn't over yet." He pulled a card from his hand. "I'll place this card face down and end my turn."
"Not much of a choice. Now it's over for you, for now I have the card that will destroy you! I sacrifice my Invitation to Dark Sleep and my Steel Ogre Grotto to summon my third Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
A third Blue-Eyes came onto the field and joined alongside its brethren.
--------
Blue-Eyes White Dragon- 3000/2500
-------
"In the next turn, you will be finished, for soon you will feel the power of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
Despite the stacked odds against him, Cloud wasn't worried. "I still disagree, for it will be you to feel the power of a true ultimate dragon. First, I'll send Neo Bahamut into the graveyard."
The red dragon disappeared from sight.
"Then I place this card face down on the field."
Another face-down card forms.
"Now here's where everything changes. I active my magic card, Mega Pheonix!"
The first card rose, showing an emblem of a fiery bird. The entire area around Cloud shimmered in fiery light.
"What is that?"
Cloud was more than willing to answer him, "Mega Phoenix allows me to resurrect three monsters from my graveyard." Cloud then shouted. "I choose Bahamut, Neo Bahamut, and Huge Materia!"
The two dragons and the crystal all rematerialized back on the field.
------
Bahamut- 2800/2800
Neo Bahamut- 3000/3000
Huge Materia- 0/2500
------
"And with your three Blue-Eyes on the field..."
------
Bahamut- 3400/3400
Neo Bahamut- 3900/3900
Huge Materia- 0/2500
------
Cloud nodded at his seeming recovery, "Now we're even. But that won't be for long."
Kaiba wasn't dismayed though, "You got that right, for now, I will crush you!"
"We'll see about that."
