Yami was in shock. He stared back at the mage he once commanded, then back
at Galanodel. "How? I thought I held the only Dark Paladin!"
"You do..from the Last set Pegasus created. However, Pegasus also created a few promos, including promo versions of a few cards. A few, like Blitzkrieg Commander, where left out. However, others, like your Dark Paladin, were remade into promos for American tournies."
Yami looked at her. "Why the Paladin, yet not the commander?"
Gala shrugged. "Since Blitzkrieg was owned by an American, Geno Roads, they figured there was no reason for America to get another one. And since Geno is always in Japan, Japan doesn't need another one. But since Yugi, a Japanese kid, owns the card, they needed to make a card for America, t make it even." She sighed. "Any more questions?"
Everyone shook their heads no.
"Ok then, attack my Paladin, Dark Magic Strike!" The Paladin fired a massive energy wave from his blade and struck down the Shield monster. Yami set one monster, and ended his turn. Gala attacked his down faced card, and then looked at him.
"Come now pharaoh, you must have something better, then playing dodge the attack."
Yami just set a card and ended his turn. Gala rolled her eyes, and set one monster and one other card, ending her turn.
"She has us!" Yugi said sadly. "We can't play any magic or trap cards, because Gala will just negate them."
"Yet..yet we have card that can stop that! If we get it,, we may be able to slow her down!"
Yugi thought about this, and then looked at their hand. "We may have a shoot, but we need to stall for a few more turns!"
Yami watched as Gala fired another attack at his monster, and then passed to him. He drew, and couldn't hide his smile. "Gala, you are very smart..yet I have just draw the card I need to take you on!"
Gala chuckled. 'And what's that?"
"First, I will activate my trap card, Spell Protection!" Gala watched as a small book appeared. "This will protect my spell cards from your Paladin's effect. Next, I will use Monster Reborn to summon your Skilled White Magician to the field. Next, I will use 2 Spell Recharge, increasing my lp by 1000!" energy hit Yami, and he smiled as his new mage glowed as his lp increased (Yami-6200)
"Finally, I will active Dark Magic Curtain! This card will reduce my lp by half to summon a Dark Magicain to the field." Yami couldn't hide his grin as the mage appeared and his Skilled White Magicain turned into a Buster Blader. "You know what comes next!" (Yami-3100)
Gala could only watch in awe as Yami used Poly to summon his Dark Paladin. Both of the mages watched the other, and tried to stare the other down. "So, it comes to this, mage vs mage?"
"It appears so." Yami replied.
Gala nodded, and both ordered their monsters to attack. They watched as the two Paladin's clashed, each trying to get the upper hand. But they were equal, and when both charged their weapons, their attacks collided, and both went to the graveyard.
Gala's shoulder's slumped. "Truly a shame." She sighed. "A shame."
Yami nodded. "Now what?"
Gala looked at her. "We continue to fight, and make sure they don't die in vain." She drew, and moved her Apprentice Magician into attack, and had it attack. (Yami-2700) Yami drew, and sighed. No monster.
Gala smiled as she drew. "I will summon a second Neo in attack mode!" (Yami-600)
Yami drew, and looked at Gala, and for some odd reason, smiled. "Do it."
Kaikou loked at Yami. "No.no, you can't.."
Gala nodded, and with one attack from Neo, the game ended. Gala walked over to Yami and took one of his two Key pieces. "Well, now I get my second prize."
Yami looked at her. "What second prize?"
"Well, I was going to take off my mask if I lost, so I think it fair I get a chance to get something from you."
Yami gulped. "And what would that be? A card..my deck..my puzzle?"
Galanodel chuckled. "No. I want to be the first to do something to the King of Games." Yami watched her as she pulled on her mask, revealing the bottem half of her face.
"What.what are you doing?"
Gala smiled. "I have broken two of the three great rules of life: You don't spit in the wind, you don't pull on Mr. Chaos' cape."
Yami looked at her as she moved closer to him. "What's..what's.what's the third."
Gala moved in close, and kissed him. Yami's eyes went wide.but then closed. Soon, Gala pulled away and pulled her mask down. "And you don't kiss the king of games."
With that, she turned, and walked away. Yami just watched her, and didn't notice Joey, Tristan and Kaikou walked up to him.
"Hey Yug.you alright?"
Yami just stared off. Tristan put his hand around his friend. "Don't worry about it. You did good."
Kaikou smiled. "You'll meet her again, and that time, you'll take her down!" She looked at Yami. "Uh.Yami? Say something."
"Wow."
"You do..from the Last set Pegasus created. However, Pegasus also created a few promos, including promo versions of a few cards. A few, like Blitzkrieg Commander, where left out. However, others, like your Dark Paladin, were remade into promos for American tournies."
