A/N: Sorry for the long wait, everyone. But finally, here's chapter 32!

" 'Just getting started'? We'll see about that."
Seto frowned at Tisha as he drew placed down his next cards. "First, I summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon in defense mode! Then, I play this magic card, Blue Medicine! It increases both our LP by 500 points."
"So now you're starting to use those healing cards. What, are you getting desperate, Seto?"
The score was 950 to 1500.
"Desperate is far from what I am." Seto replied curtly. "Now I'll finish it off with two MORE magic cards. First, Mystical Space Typhoon! I'll use it to destroy your Mirror Wall!"
Tisha groaned as her crystalline barricade shattered into a thousand shards on the field. But this was a minor setback, really. She had another in her deck somewhere. But then something she noticed startled her. Why did he play the Blue Eyes in defense mode when he had a way to get around her Mirror Wall? Unless...
Tisha's eyes opened wide. No! It couldn't be...
Seto threw down his third card. "And now, to eliminate your Rose Specter of Dune...Curse of Fiend!"
Curse of Fiend! That magic card switched the battle positions of all Monsters on the field! Which meant-
"...I believe now BOTH of our Monsters are in attack mode, Tisha." Seto was saying. "Take this. Blue Eyes! White Lightning!"
The legendary Dragon's jaws opened wide. In a matter of seconds, Tisha's Rose Specter of Dune dissappeared under a blast of pure white electricity.
Now Seto had taken the lead. It was 950 to 500.
Mokuba grinned broadly at his brother's latest play. "All right!" he cried jubiously. "Go Seto!"
Kyara smiled at Mokuba as he continued to cheer on his older sibling. She then turned her attention to Seto's opponent, Tisha.
"She still looks so confident..." Kyara thought. "I wonder why?"
Tisha shrugged as she dropped her second Rose Specter of Dune card into the Graveyard. She had to admit, that move Seto just executed was quite clever. But let's see if she could do any better.
"Two cards face down, Seto." Tisha announced. "And then, I'll send out my Seiaryu in defense mode."
The holographic generators hummed and a pink dragon appeared onto the field. With a shriek, it folded its wings over its upper body and glared at the opposing Blue Eyes White Dragon. Seto Kaiba frowned. What was Tisha planning? If she hadn't played any face down cards, he would have attacked without any second thought. But she had played two face down cards. Could they be traps? If they were, he would be walking right into them by attacking...
Well, only one way to find out.
Seto drew a card. With a smirk, he threw it, along with a another card onto the field. " First, one card face down. Then, I'll play this card, De-Spell! And with it, I'll target one of your face down cards!"
Tisha smirked. And flipped over the card Seto had targeted. "Well, Kaiba, you just destroyed my Equipment card, Black Pendant!"
"What?!"
"That's right. Black Pendant can power up one Monster by 500 points. But, it has another effect. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, I can inflict 500 points of direct damage to your LP!"
Seto groaned. Now his LP was down to 450. He then straightened. Just because he lost 500 LP didn't mean it was time to throw in the towel. He still could attack!
"First, Tisha, I shall increase my LP once again with two Dian Keto the Cure Master cards, so I'm raised to 2450. And then...Blue Eyes! Take out Seiaryu! White Lightning!"
As Seiyaryu was destroyed, Tisha turned over her second card. "Guess what, Seto? This trap card'll avenge my Seiyaru for me. Go! Michizure!"
Michizure?! If one of Tisha's Monsters was just sent to the graveyard, she could activate it and send one her opponent's Monsters to the grave as well! It looked like The Blue Eyes White Dragon was about to meet it's demise.
This time, it was Seto's turn to smirk. Did she really think he would attack without some backup ready? He reached down to his second down card.
"Hey Tisha," he said with a sneer. "You forgot about the card I played earlier in my turn! I counter your trap with this! Seven Tools of the Bandit!"
Tisha's eyes opened wide. "No way!"
Joey was confused. "Hey Yuge," he leaned over and whispered into his friend's ear. "What's that Seven Tools thing?"
"Seven Tools of the Bandit is a rare and powerful counter trap, Joey." the young duelist answered. "After first paying 1000 LP, he can use it to negate and destroy the effect of a trap card!"
Kyara, whom had been listening in on their conversation, nodded in agreement. "Seven Tools of the Bandit is ultra rare! I brought like ten packs of Metal Raiders the other day, in hopes of getting one..."
Joey turned to face Kyara. "And did you?"
On the dueling station, Tisha scowled at the Blue Eyes White Dragon that was on the field. She had hoped that her Michizure card would be able to increase her chances at winning this duel. So much for that. But hey, just because one of her best trap cards was gone, DIDN'T mean she was going to lose! After all, that was just ONE of her best traps.
Now it was her turn again. And, the score was 1450 to 500. In favor of Seto.
Tisha drew a card. She grinned when she saw it. "All right, Seto." she said. "First, I'll set my Mystical Elf in defense mode, play one magic card face down, and then..." Tisha held up an Equipment card for all the world to see. "I equip your Blue Eyes with this! Paralyzing Potion!"
The Paralyzing Potion! A Monster equipped with that card couldn't attack! Such a manuever would cripple any mighty Monster. On the field, the Blue Eyes howled as a now greenish glow enswamped it and it became unable to strike. Tisha grinned and flicked casually at her hair. Beat THAT, Kaiba. She thought.
With a heavy frown etched upon his stern lips, Seto drew a card. With a sigh, he set t onto the field. "Tisha, for my turn, I'll play one card face down, and end my turn."
With a nod, Tisha drew a card. She grinned once again when she saw the card. Everything was going according to plan. "Seto," she announced. "I'll just set my second Mystical Elf in defense mode and play one card face down. You turn."
Seto scowled. She was raising her defenses. Typical. But could her defenses just be a front for some hidden scheme? He then glanced down at the Monster card he had just drawn. This was the perfect Monster to take out one of her Elfs with.
"First, a card face down. And then...Go! Judge Man!"
Seto's mighty, club-bearing warrior emerged ontot the field. Kaiba pointed at Tisha's first Mystical Elf. "Take out her defense Monster, Judge Man!"
With a grunt, the warrior leapt forth. Tisha giggled. "Sorry, Kaiba." she snickered. "I'll negate his assault with my Waboku!"
With a grimace, Seto shrugged. "Fine. Your Elf has been spared for this turn."
Tisha drew a card. All right! Just the card she needed. "Time for this to end, Seto." she said. "Now I play this Ritual card, Cosmo Queen's Prayer!"
Kyara's eyes opened wide. "What did she just say? Cosmo Queen's Prayer?!"
Joey looked confused. "What? Something wrong?"
Kyara rolled her eyes. "Am I the only one who knows that card? Fine, just watch and find out."
Seto, like Joey, was confused also. "Cosmo Queen's Prayer? Never heard of that Ritual card."
"Just watch and find out." Tisha said. "In order to summon my ultimate Monster, I must first sacrafice Monsters with eight level stars or more. And guess what? Both of my Mystical Elves have four stars, which means I have a total of eight! So see ya later, Mystical Elf! And..."
In a blinding flash of light, the two blue-skinned Spellcasters disappeared. But in the void they left, a new divinity emerged. Tisha smiled broadly. "...Say hello to my Cosmo Queen!"
Joey and Tristan leaned forward in their seats. "Incredible!" they said in unison. "That thing's got an attack power of 2900!"
Seto shook his head. "Your little Queen may be powerful, Tisha." he said. "But my Blue Eyes is stronger still."
"Maybe so," Tisha replied. "But I'm not finished yet! I power her up with this Equipment card, Malevolent Nuzzler! Now Cosmo Queen gets an extra 700 points! So now that she's up to 3600...attack!"
Tisha's Cosmo Queen lurched forth, aimed at the Blue Eyes White Dragon. A moment later, it was all over. The Blue eyes was gone.
Tisha leapt up and down. "Yes!"
The score was now 850 to 500.
Seto looked at his side of the field in disbelief. One of his most powerful Monsters. Gone. He then looked towards the crowd, where Kyara and Mokuba were still cheering. He shook his head. No, he couldn't give up yet. He drew a card. And gasped when he saw what it was. Just what he needed. Time to summon one of the most powerful Monsters in all of Duel Monsters.
"Tisha, you may have succeded in summoning that Cosmo Queen, but I have something even better."
"Bring it on."
"Fine." Seto threw down his card. "Go! Monster Reborn! I call my Blue Eyes back from the grave!"
The blue-scaled dragon roared as it reappeared, wings spread wide.
"And I'm not done yet, Tisha." Seto cried. "Go! Lord of Dragons!"
The Lord of Dragons! If played right, this Spellcaster could be very powerful. And, if Seto possessed the super rare Magic card associated with this card...
"Then, a Magic card, The Flute of Summoning Dragon!"
A golden horn fashioned into the shape of a dragon appeared in the Lord of Dragon's hands. The Spellcaster raised it to his lips. The Flute gave off a low whistling tune. Kaiba nodded with satisfaction. "I can play The Flute of Summoning Dragon when Lord of Dragons is face up on the field. The Flute of Summoning Dragon allows me to special summon up to three Dragons from my hand. So, I summon TWO Blue Eyes White Dragons!"
Tisha's eyes opened wide as now three of the mightiest Dragons in the game snarled ferociously at her. The girl breathed in slowly. She knew what was coming next.
Kaiba smirked as he held up another card. "And finally, the Magic card, Polymerization!"
Joey grinned broadly as Kaiba slammed his latest card down onto the field. "All right! Kaiba's bustin' out his Ultimate Dragon!"
The three Blue Eyes White Dragons vanished from sight. There was a blinding flash of light, and both Seto and Tisha heard a sudden hush overcome the audience. All eyes were now on the beam of light that was illuminating Seto's side of the field. But within the focal point of the light, something had been born. A sharp, fierce roar pierced through the silence, and a pair of silvery-blue wings arose. Then, a gasp of awe and fear ran through the room as a three-headed dragon emerged, its curving fangs glinting brightly under the electric lighting.
The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon took a step, and the field itself seemed to tremble under the mighty behemoth. It then looked back at Seto, as if asking him what to do. Seto raised his arm. "Its time to end this," he said tonelessly. "Now, my Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! Attack the Cosmo Queen!"
The tri-headed titan opened it's three jaws.
"Neutron Blast!"
To Tisha, the whole world seemed to have exploded into a shower of sparkling blue and white energy. Amidst all of this, her Comso Queen was obliterated by the unstoppable onslaught. When the chaos subsided, the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon stood alone on the field.
Tisha's Cosmo Queen was gone, along with her lifepoints.
The whole crowd seemed to be in a stupor. But only momentarily. The next second, a great cheer arose. On his side of the field, Kaiba heaved a short sigh. Thank god that was over with. For a moment there, he wasn't sure if he could pull it off. He then cast his gave over the crowd. He could see Kyara, cheering at the top of her lungs alongside his brother, Mokuba. Kaiba smiled.
"Great duel." said a voice from behind him.
Kaiba turned around to face Tisha, who had her hand extended towards him. With a nod, he shook her hand. "Yes."
