United We Stand
Vendick laughed after the duel was decided.
"Seto Kaiba vs Darts? My, this should be quite a show"said Vendick.
Jane said nothing.
************************************************************************************************************
"Well Seto, let's go"said Dark readying his DuelDisk.
"You're on, I'll crush you with ease"said Kaiba.
"Allright, Kaiba's a champion duelist, he'll wipe him out"said Dejiro.
"Well the kid isn't as dumb as I thought"thought Kaiba after Dejiro's comment.
"Well this should be something"said Joey.
"I have a feeling this duel won't be as easy as everyone expects"thought Yugi.
"Time to duel!"
Kaiba:4000 Darts:4000
Both of them drew their opening hands.
****************************************************************************************
"C'mon, just three more to go. Please come through"thought Jane.
*********************************************************************************************
"Damn, don't have the card I need yet. But it matters not, for now I'll start things a
little more slowly"thought Darts.
"I place one monster in defence mode. That ends my turn"
***************************************************************************************
"What! What's he doing? Why isn't he playing his Seal card. Unless he, damn it! Now is not the time
for him to fail at drawing the necessary cards"thought Vendick.
******************************************************************************************
"That seemed a little too simple"said Joey.
"Joey's right, he's starting out on the defense, but why?"thought Dejiro.
"Kaiba better watch it, Darts could have almost any kind of monster there"thought Yugi.
Kaiba drew.
"Not bad"he thought.
"First I'll place one card face down, then I play the Magic Card Submission. I must pay up
1000 lifepoints to use it, but it allows me to name one high level monster and if you have it,
it's mine"
Kaiba:3000 Darts:4000
"Whoa, that's a lotta lifepoints to dump on this kind of gamble"said Joey.
"Allright, what kind of monster should I go for? I'll have to take my chances"thought Kaiba.
"I call the Tri Horned Dragon card!"
Everyone watched tensley, though not as tensely as Kaiba.
Darts was stalling purposely obviously, to work on Seto's nerves.
After all, a duelist was vulnerable when he or she lost their cool.
"Well! Do you have it or not!"
"Sorry, no such monster exists in my deck"
Everyone else gasped while Kaiba merely growled.
"Fine then! I summon Battle Ox!"
It had an ATK of 1700 and DEF of 1000.
"Attack his monster!"
The monster was destroyed, a useless monster.
"Now I place one card face down"
Darts drew.
"Man, Kaiba's gotta be more careful with his lifepoints"said Joey.
"Joey's right, Kaiba's lifepoints took a drop for nothing"thought Yugi.
"Well, this will help me get what I need"thought Darts.
"I play Upstart Goblin. By using this I must give you 1000 lifepoints, then allows me
to draw an extra card, so it's almost like starting over"
Kaiba:8000 Darts:8000
"Good thing for Kaiba"said Dejiro.
"Perfect!"thought Darts.
His eyes grew, making the others uncomfortable.
*******************************************************************************************************
"Looks like Darts drew what he needed"thought Vendick.
"Oh great"thought Jane nervously.
************************************************************************************************
"Now, I play the magic card Seal of Oracle Curse!"
"Not that again!"
The others gasped as the seal surrounded the two duelists.
"The seal used in your duel with Amelda was a counterfit, now you'll see the
true power of my seal card. Now with the Seal of Oracle curse, I can call upon my God deck!"
"God deck!"gasped everyone else.
"Yes, your Battle Ox is nothing but dead weight against my newest creature. Meet
Heaven's Knight!"
It had an ATK of 2900 and DEF of 2300.
"No way! You can summon that without a sacrafice!"gasped Kaiba.
"Well of course, unless a card says otherwise, a Seal deck monster normaly
requires no sacrafice at all no matter the star level.Also, all my creatures
get 500 extra attack and defense points. Now show your power, wipe
out Battle Ox!"
Kaiba:6300000 Darts:8000
"That's rough"said Joey.
"With that kind of power, I don't see what Kaiba can really do"thought Yugi.
**********************************************************************************************
"No, no, no!"thought Jane.
"Let's watch Kaiba try and counter this, we're all in for a good laugh"
*****************************************************************************************
Kaiba drew and snickered, however Darts didn't seem concerned.
"Go Heavy Storm! Wipe out his Seal!"
However after the storm was over, the card remained on the field.
"Do you not learn? Seal of Oracle Curse can only be destroyed if the owner
chooses to discard it from the field. So sorry"
Kaiba growled.
"I've never seen anyone do this to Kaiba before"said Joey.
"First I play Pot of Greed and draw two more cards"
Kaiba held back his snicker this time.
"I place one monster in defence mode"
Darts drew.
"I summon Hadeous's Assasain in attack mode"
It had an ATK of 2500 and DEF of 2600.
"Attack!"
"This is gonna hurt"said Joey.
"Kaiba!"gasped Yugi.
When the monster was destroyed, another took it's place.
"Giant Germ can summon another copy when destroyed, and you lose 500 lifepoints"
"Not quite, my Heaven's Knight's special power transfers any damage not caused by a
monster attack to your lifepoints"
Kaiba:5800 Darts:8000
"My turn"said Kaiba drawing.
Kaiba snickered.
"Now you're in for it! I play Soul Exchange! This let's me sacrafice one of your monsters
for one of mine, so I sacrafice your Heaven's Knight and my Gaint Germ to summon my
Blue Eyes!"
It had an ATK of 3000 and DEF of 2500.
"Now that your monster's gone, you lose 500 lifepoints with the summoning
of a new Giant Germ. Now Blue Eyes, destroy his assasain"
Kaiba:6300 Darts:7000
While the others cheered, Darts seemed unphazed.
*************************************************************************************************
"Allright!"cheered Jane.
"I wouldn't cheer yet"
"Huh?"
*********************************************************************************************
Darts drew.
"Now I summon Arch Angel in defence"
It had an ATK of 3000 and DEF of 4000.
"Whoa!"gasped Kaiba.
"That's insane"gasped Yugi.
************************************************************************************************
"Oh no"groaned Jane.
Vendick snickered.
*******************************************************************************************
"Now my monster will inflict 1000 points of damage for every monster in my graveyard!"
"WHAT!"
Kaiba:4300 Darts:7000
"No way man! That's a rip off!"gasped Dejiro.
"C'mon Kaiba, crush this freak!"said Joey.
"Make your move"said Darts with no fear.
Kaiba drew.
"Now I sacrafice Giant Germ to summon Emerald Dragon!"
It had an ATK of 2400 and DEF of 2000.
"I may not be able to summon another Giant Germ, but it still does
500 points of damage from going to the graveyard"
Kaiba:4300 Darts:6500
"Next I play Polmerasation to create, Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
It had an ATK of 4500 and DEF of 3800.
"On my next turn, my Ultimate Dragon will destroy his monster and
then I'll launch an attack on his lifepoints"thought Kaiba.
Darts drew.
"Now for my monster's special ability, by switching it to attack mode, I can deduct
it's attack from any of your monsters, which is 3000 attack points"
"NO! You can't! Explain!"
"AW!"gasped the others.
"Just look at your pathetic creature, it's been rendered useless!"
************************************************************************************************
"Shit"thought Jane.
"Nice work Darts"thought Vendick.
*******************************************************************************************
"My monster!"gasped Kaiba.
"This can't be, Darts has been playing me all match. Never once did he
even flinch"thought Kaiba sweating.
"Now attack!"
Kaiba:2800 Darts:6500
"All that monsters needs is one more direct attack and Kaiba's a goner!"said Yugi.
"Is this it? NEVER! I will not lose, can not lose. I'll find a way"thought Kaiba drawing.
"Perfect!"he thought.
"Now I play Enemy Controller! I have to pay 1000 lifepoints, now it allows me to
control or destroy one monster. So now I have control! Go my monsters, attack him directly!"
Kaiba:1800 Darts:1100
"Oh yeah! Kaiba just gained the lead!"
*******************************************************************************************
"Darts you had better do something"thought Vendick.
"Awesome!"thought Jane.
**********************************************************************************************
Darts growled. Everyone else cheered.
"So Darts, where's that cocky smile now?"asked Kaiba.
Darts drew.
"Attack his Dragon!"
Kaiba:1200 Darts:1100
"Their lifepoints are almost equal"said Dejiro.
"Almost"thought Yugi.
Kaiba drew.
"I place Mystic Lamp in defence mode"
It had an ATK of 400 and DEF of 300.
"It's special ability allows me to summon La Jin, in defence mode!"
It had an ATK of 1800 and DEF of 1000.
"Then I place one card face down"
Darts drew.
"First I place this in defence mode, then I attack your lamp!"
"Perfect"thought Kaiba.
"Go Crush Card! While my monsters is destroyed, every monster with 1500 attack points
or more is crushed"said Kaiba.
Darts laughed.
"Reveal my monster, Guardian of Heaven's gate!"
It had an ATK of 2000 and DEF of 2200.
"This monster's effect reverses the effects of a card you play onto
you!"
"NO! MY DECK!"gasped Kaiba.
La Jin was now gone as well.
"Kaiba's deck, it's almost comepletely gone!"gasped Yugi.
"No way!"gasped Joey.
"Kaiba's toast"thought Dejiro.
***************************************************************************************
"I just want to go home"said Jane in frustrastion.
Vendick laughed.
"Dosen't look like that will happen anytime soon"
