United We Stand

"I feel so useless, well actualy I am. There has to be a way for me to break out of these. Yugi's getting crushed down there,

I can't do a thing to help him"thought Jane.

Vendick:5300 Yami:2500

"Now I place a card face down and end my turn. Your move"

"Allright Vendick, here I go!"

"I need to draw something worthwhile thisn turn, otherwise Vendick's Ultimate Dragon will wipe me out"thought Yugi drawing.

Yami growled.

"Don't tell me, aw man! This is not a good time for Yugi to be drawing bad cards"said Joey.

"Yugi has no monsters out, he better worry about protecting himself for the moment. But where did Vendick get

a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon? He can't possibly own the three Blue eyes required, unless the only way he play it is with

Cyber Stein"thought Kaiba.

"Hang in up there Jane"called Dejiro.

Jane merely nodded.

Dejiro's arm throbbed a little, making him cry out in pain.

"Dejiro, you allright!"gasped Joey.

Yami spun around.

"Forget me Yugi, I could care less if I die right now, I just want Jane out of here. Please, just focus!"

"Don't say something stupid like that Dejiro, you aren't gonna die"said Joey.

Vendick grinned.

"Well then Dejiro, let's put that to the test"

"WHAT!"gasped Yami.

"New stipulation. If Yugi loses, not only do I keep Jane, but she will watch as I stab Dejiro to death!"

Jane tried to protest but couldn't.

"No way man!"said Joey covering over Dejiro.

"THis has gone too far!"said Kaiba.

"Vendick, leave him out of this! This is between you and me!"

"Why not, Jane's allready involved, why not her brother? Besides, since he has so much

faith in you, I'm sure he won't mind"

"I'll do it"said Dejiro.

"NO!"gasped Yami.

Jane couldn't believe her ears.

"What's he doing!"thought Jane.

She thrashed harder then ever to get free and stop this.

"Are you out of your mind Dejiro!"gasped Joey.

"Then deal's done"said Vendick.

With every ounce of strength she had, Jane managed to get her left arm

free. Everyone looked up.

"What! No, she couldn't!"gasped Vendick.

"Allright, she's free"said Yami.

Jane dug into the knots easily with her nails and untied herself. Then she grabbed the shadow gag

and threw it to the ground.

"No way! She's too weak, someone must've helped her!"gasped Vendick.

"I did!"

Vendick and the others looked over, Malik was back to normal.

"Malik! But, AW!"

Ichizu and Rashid stepped out from behind.

"What the? How did you all get here?"asked Joey.

Rashid took his arm behind him and threw out and bruised and beaten Varon.

"You!"gasped Dejiro.

"We found a way with this runt. With his Millenium Rod back in his control, Malik used it to undo one

of Jane's knots"said Rashid.

"We know all about your scheme now, while my mind was fogged, I managed to contact Ichizu and Rashid about what was going

on"said Malik.

Vendick snickered.

"Nice work, however the duel's still on. The terms have been agreed to, so if I win Malik, you will become a sacrafice

to the darkness"said Vendick.

"No problem, the pharoah will crush you"said Malik.

"Hmph, then let the duel continue"

Vendick:5300 Yami:2500

"I summon Big Shield Gardna, in defence mode"

It had an ATK of 100 and DEF of 2600.

"Then I place one card face down. Your move"

Vendick drew.

"Big mistake Yugi, now you've left yourself wide open. First I switch Cyber Stein into attack mode and have it

attack your Gardna"

"What game is he playing!"said Malik.

"I don't get it"said Joey.

"I get it"thought Kaiba.

"Yugi! Watch out!"

"Huh!"gasped everyone besides Yami and Vendick.

"He knows Big Shield Gardna's special effect, not good"thought Yugi.

The attack, of course, failed.

Vendick:3400 Yami:2500

"Now Big Shield Gardna's effect activates, switching it to attack mode after an attack"

"Yugi!"gasped Joey and Dejiro.

"Wrong Vendick! Activate trap card, Spell Binding Circle! It will ensnare your monster and lower it's attack

by 700 points"

Ultimate Dragon:3800

"Phew, that was close"said Joey.

"Thank the lord"thought Jane.

"Go on Pharoah, dominate this fool!"said Malik.

Yami nodded.

"It's my move!"said Yami drawing.

Yami snickered.

"I sacrafice Big Shield Gardna to summon DeathsVosgualf"

It had an ATK of 2200 and DEF of 1700.

"Attack his Cyber Stein!"

Vendick:1900 Yami:2500

"Grr"

"Also, DeathVosgaulf's special ability drains 500 of your lifepoints when it destroys one of your monsters"

Vendick:1400 Yami:2500

"Finish him off!"cheered Jane.

Vendick drew, a big smile coming across his face, a rather sickening smile. Everyone else got a look

of worry.

"Just what I needed, we're done"

"What are you talking about!"gasped Yami.

"Since it can't attack, I'll sacrafice Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon to summon the Fiend Megacyber"

It had an ATK of 2200 and DEF of 1200.

"Now, you experienced the power of Hellos, however now for an even more powerful ancient dragon"

"NO!"gasped everyone except Malik, Rashid and Ichizu.

"What's he mean"said Malik.

"Behold Timeaus! Now I fuse him with MegaCyber!"

It had an ATK of 2300 and DEF of 2200.

"Now attack DeathsVosgaulf!"

Vendick:1400 Yami:2400

"Now for his special effect, he can attack twice in a turn!"

"NO!"gasped everyone else.

"Attack!"

Vendick:1400 Yami:100

"Then his second effect takes the lifepoints you lost and adds them to mine,

except double"

Vendick:6000 Yami:100

"That means Vendick has sixty times the lifepoints Yugi has, and with the ability to attack

twice in one turn, Yugi dosen't have a chance"said Kaiba.

"C'mon Yugi, crush this joker!"said Joey.

"I wish I had as much confidence as Joey, but with all my best cards used up, I don't have anything leaft

to fight with"thought Yugi.

"Unlike Hellmos, Timeaus can be controlled by one of light or Darkness, so don't expect to get a break like Dejiro"

said Vendick.

"I promised to get Jane out, but now she's, trapped"thought Yugi.

"Surrender, or tkae your turn. Makes no diffrence, this is almost over"said Vendick.

The card on top of his deck was glowing, stunning all.

"What is this!"gasped Vendick.

"My, card?"asked Yami drawing it.

"AW!"

"What is it!"said Vendick.

Yami closed his eyes and snickered, then opened his eyes.

"Your Timeaus is going down Vendick, take a look"said Yami showing him the card.

"NO! Crtirias! The Third ancient Dragon, you drew it!"

"Yugi never had that card before"said Joey.

"Wow, I guess there is something supernatural about these cards"said Dejiro.

Vendick soon however raored in laughter.

"What!"gasped Yami.

"That Dragon will only be of use if you have a card to fuse it with, and you have no other cards in your hand

or on the field!"said Vendick.

"AW! He's right!"gasped Joey.

"We were so close!"said Dejiro.

"So much for hope"thought Jane sloaping.

Yami growled.

"Nice draw but with no cards to fuse with you can't play your dragon, which means I'll win as soon

as you end your turn! Just look at your pathetic dragon, it's powerless!"
