United We Stand

Joey:200 Tristan:1650

"Last turn Joey, are ya gonna surrender or make a move? Makes no diffrence

to me, this will be over soon anyway"said Tristan.

"Don't count on it!"said Joey drawing.

"Sweet! Just what I needed"thought Joey.

"I sacrafice Jinzo in order to summon Gerouzies!"

It had an ATK of 1800 and DEF of 1600.

"Then I place one card face down, your turn"

"What was the point of that?"asked Tristan.

"Why did Joey sacrafice a stronger to summon a weaker one?"asked Dejiro.

"There's only one reason Joey would sacrafice Jinzo for Garouzies"thought Yugi.

Tristan drew.

"Now I end this! Barrel Dragon, attack!"

"Not so fast Tristan, you triggered my trap! Kunai with Chain will stop your monster's

attack and raise my monster's attack by 500 points"

Garouzies:2300

"You see with Jinzo he couldn't use his trap cards, so he needed to get rid of it. Otherwise that

Barrel Dragon would've wiped him out"said Yugi.

"Wow, awesome! Joey still has a chance!"

"So, you feeling tough still?"asked Joey.

"HA! Garouzies is still too weak to take on my Barrel Dragon, it's useless!"

"We'll see"said Joey drawing.

"I summon Armored Lizard in defence mode!"

It had an ATK of 1500 and DEF of 1200.

"That ends my turn"

Tristan drew.

"First I place this card face down, then I summon Labravo!"

It had an ATK of 1600 and DEF of 1200.

"Then I play Stop Defense to switch Armored Lizard into attack mode"

"My lizard's toast!"gasped Joey.

"Correct! Labravo attack!"

Joey:100 Tristan:1650

"Now I have over 16 times the lifepoints you do Joey. I'd be nervous if I were

you"said Tristan.

"Dream on Tristan, I was a pro long before you ever dueled, so I'm not about to lose face

by letting you win"

"Like you even have a choice"

***********************************************************************************************

"Those Egyptian God cards are allready won"said Vendick.

"I hope not"thought Jane.

"Don't worry yourself over this Jane, they aren't going to win. In fact it's quite the

opposite"

"Just leave me alone you sicko!"

"Sicko?"

"Only a sicko would use females for their desires without any care towards their

feelings"

"Why Jane, females are nothing but tools"

***************************************************************************************************

"It's my turn, and it looks like Labravo's in for a rude awakening"said Joey drawing.

"Garouzies, attack Labravo!"

Joey:100 Tristan:950

"Activate Numerous Healer! When I suffer damage to my lifepoints, this raises my lifepoints

by 1000"

"NO!"

"Yes! Now it's time for me to make a move"

Tristan drew.

"First I play Soultaker, by discarding two cards I can bring back a magic card,

Monster Reborn! Then I sacrafice my twqo monsters to summon this, Serpent Knight Dragon!"

It had an ATK of 2350 and DEF of 2400.

"That's the card Rex Raptor used against me!"

"Yes, a card you never would've beaten without me"

"This dosen't look good for Joey"said Yugi.

"C'mon Joey, you can do better then this! C'mon!"said Dejiro.

"Serpent Knight Dragon, destroy his last hope!"

Joey:50 Tristan:1950

"That's not all, next I play Dian Kenta the Cure Master, to raise my lifepoints by 1000, to end

my turn"

Joey:50 Tristan:2950

"30 times the lifepoints! Wheeler's got his work cut out for him here"thought Kaiba.

"Joey! You can beat him, just keep going!"said Yugi.

"Waste him!"said Dejiro.

Joey snickered.

"You got it"said Joey drawing.

"It dosen't matter what you draw. You have no monsters on the field, and you're down to your

last 50 lifepoints. I have this match in the bag"said Tristan.

"Says you"

"Listen, I've watched you duel nearly a dozen times, I know your strategies inside and out"said Tristan.

"Hardly, my skills have gone up quite a few notches since the last match you saw. I'll prove it to ya by wiping

the floor with your sorry keaster"

"Well you certainly haven't shown me any sign of skill increase, so why don't you quit bluffing and make your move.

Or surrender, I have you down finally"said Tristan.

"Not quite Tristan, I have a plan to wipe you out, and it starts now"thought Joey drawing.

"I place one card face down, then I summon Baby Dragon in defence mode. That ends my turn"

It had an ATK of 1200 and DEF of 700.

"So much for your proclimation. You're too predictable, you plan to play Time Wizard next turn, to rust my monster

and make your Baby Dragon into Thousand Dragon. It won't work"

"Is that so!"

"Yes, especialy since I'm about to wipe your Baby Dragon out"

*********************************************************************************************

Vendick clapped his hands.

"What a splendid show, and this is just the first duel. You'll get to see your pitiful excse for a brother

lose miserably. He's the worst duelist I've ever seen"

"You're wrong Vendick. Dejiro's always been there when it counted. There was one time where some bullies were picking on

me and were gonna take my money. Normaly Dejiro would lose but he came through. This will be no diffrent, Dejiro will rescue me

even if he has to go through all 4 of you"

Vendick let out an echo destroying laugh.

"Him beat us? Please, you have a better chance of escaping on your own, but for your sake you better not

get any ideas. I know you won't"

"Then why don't you untie me?"asked Jane.

"I'm a caustious person Jane, I never take chances. Besides, if I untied you all the blood

would come out. That cloth is the only thing stopping you from bleeding to death"

"Thanks to you"said Jane.

She expected to get hit but instead Vendick shrugged.

"Sometimes we have get a little rough, part of the job. You're lucky your baby won't be born,

why would any child want a pathetic low life of a mother? Some young brat who can't even protect herself

expected to raise a child?"

"He's right, I could never raise the baby. I'm too weak"thought Jane.

Vendick noticed it the same time Jane did: her period.

Jane screamed in fright.

Vendick kept watching.

"Are you crazy, help me!"

Vendick ignored her. Jane could'nt even try to wash herself off with her hands tied

in front of her.

"I don't know how much longer I'll last here"thought Jane.

**************************************************************************************************

Tristan drew.

"Your strategy's about to crumble. Say goodbye to your last hope! Serpent Knight

Dragon attack!"

"If this attack works, Joey's last chance will be history"said Dejiro.

"C'mon Joey"thought Yugi.

"You better do something Wheeler"thought Kaiba.

"Not so fast! Activate magic card, Energy Drain. It zaps your monster's attack down to zero

for one turn. So not only will my monster remain unharmed, but you'll lose 700 lifepoints"

Tristan smirked, causing everyone else(including Joey) to gasp.

"Activate Magic Jammer! By throwing one card away, I can deactivate your magic card!"

"My Baby Dragon, it's a goner!"gasped Joey.

"So much for your combo, you're done!"

Baby Dragon was obliterated.

Joey:50 Tristan:2950

"Another one bites the dust. That was all you had leaft"

"he's right, that was my last hope, I aint' got nothing leaft. No, I can't

quit, but what else can I do? I've used up all my best cards"thought Joey.

"Don't give in Joey, fight'em!"said Yugi.

"Please Joey, you have to win this one!"said Dejiro.

"Without his Egyptian God card, there's nothing Wheeler can do"thought Kaiba.

"This is it, this draw detirmines everything"thought Joey drawing.

"Bingo!"he thought.

"I play Choice! This let's me draw two cards"

"So what"said Tristan.

"Seyaru and Magic Arm Shield"thought Joey.

"Now I place a card in my hand and you have to choose. Choose my magic or trap

card, and I have to discard both cards. Pick the monster, and it's summoned to the field

automaticly. So go on and pick"

"AW!"gasped Yugi and Dejiro.

"Are you serious! You're gonna risk the duel on this big of gamble!"

"If you know me so well Tristan, you should know Joey Wheeler isn't afraid to tak a risk,

so pick a card, any card"

"This it it"thought Kaiba.

"I pick that one!"

Joey revealed it:it was Seyaru.

"NO!"

Now I summon Seyaru! But that's not all, next I summon Panther Warrior

in attack mode!"

It had an ATK of 2000 and DEF of 1600.

"Then I equip him with Lightning Blade, raising his attack to 2800"

"NO! NO!"

"Oh yeah, Seyaru attack!"

Joey:50 Tristan:2700

"Now I sacrafice Seyaru so Panther Warrior can attack!"

Joey:50 Tristan:0000

"NO! I CAN'T!"

"You lose!"

"Way to go Joey!"cheered Yugi.

************************************************************************************

"Blast it!"said Vendick slamming his fist.

"So much for that"said Jane, her period ending.

"Don't you worry, I won't fail again. Darts, you're up"

************************************************************************************

An elevator door opened.

"Looks like we're heading to the next duelist, let's go"said Joey.

They all hopped in and were taken up.

This room was much smaller, with Red carpeting.

"Greetings, my name is Darts, and it's time for the next opponent to be chosen"

"Ever heared of this guy Yugi?"asked Dejiro.

Yugi shook his head.

Darts rolled the die. It landed on Joey.

"According to the Death run rules, a duelist can't duel twice so I must roll again"

It landed on Kaiba.

"Looks like we're dueling now Seto Kaiba. You may have beaten Amelda, but her Seal of Oracel

Curse was fake, you'll discover it's real power soon enough"

"Enough talk, let's duel!"

"Seal of Oracle curse!"thought Joey"Kaiba has no idea what he's in for. Hey wait, who Amelda?"
