Chapter 3: Marik's Madness
Same day as Kaiba's test of D2. Time: 12:14. Place: Domino City Museum of History.
A figure is looking at a suit of armor. He is Al Roy, acclaimed Knight and Royalty duelist. He is wearing a duel disk.
Al: This suit demeans the purpose of chivalrous warriors. (Inspects suit) This specimen is clearly a fraudulent reproduction.
Figure: You are clearly a fool.
Al: (turns to figure) Who are you?
Figure: Some call me Marik. (He smiles and draws out the Millennium Rod). Care to duel? (The Millennium symbol is glowing on his head marking him as a Yami)
Al: I wouldn't waste my time with such a commoner. I only duel those that have royal blood. You see I am related to King Henry the Fourth, Queen Mary the First and Prince Albert.
Yami Marik: Well I am related to an ancient group of tomb keeper's. I come from a long line. Anyway some punk with a fancy accent doesn't intimidate me. You're probably scared of how badly I'll beat you.
Al: (angrily) Fine, I shall accept your challenge! Prepare to duel!
Yami Marik: (thinking) This fool doesn't realize that the outcome of this duel will affect his life in more ways than he thinks...
Al 4000/Marik 4000
Al: I am noble so it is my honor to move first. I shall defend myself with a monster in defense mode.
Yami Marik: I am not frightened of what you play. Now I shall summon Drillabo to the field in attack mode.
Drillabo: 1600/1200.
Yami Marik: Attack his monster now!
Drillabo: (rushes at Al's monster and presses its drills into it. However, it is knocked back).
Al 4000/Marik 3600
Al: Ha, my Giant Soldier of Stone shall defend my greatness from your brutal onslaught.
Yami Marik: You think too highly of yourself. And my attacks will only get more brutal.
Al: Well, now I shall set another monster to defend me from your evil attacks.
Yami Marik: Then I shall have to summon my Yaranzo to the field in attack mode equipped with Violet Crystal.
Yaranzo: 1300/1500. W/ Violet Crystal 1600/1800.
Yami Marik: Yaranzo, attack his set monster!
Al: Ha, it's like a peasant to try and revolt. Now you've revealed my Penguin Knight!
Penguin Knight: 900/700 effect: When flipped, returns 2 monsters to the owner's hand.
Yami Marik: You call yourself royal yet you keep a flightless bird in your deck? Pathetic.
Al: Well, it's still a knight. Anyway, Yaranzo and Drillabo return to your hand.
Yami Marik: That's ok with me. I'll just have to set a trap card.
Al: You soon shall fall! I switch my Soldier of Stone into attack mode and summon Little Swordsman of Aile in attack mode!
Little Swordsman of Aile: 700/1300 Effect: Sacrifice one monster to increase this monster's attack by 800.
Al: Now my monsters shall attack you directly!
Al's monsters: (slash Marik with their swords)
Little Swordsman of Aile: Hee hee!
Al 4000/Marik 1600
Al: I've already removed half your life points. I believe the winner is clear.
Yami Marik: Yes, I shall win. For now I activate my trap card, Ultimate Offering! Now I shall pay 1000 life points to special summon Yaranzo, Drillabo and Melkit the Four Faced Beast to the field!
Al 4000/Marik 100
Melkit the Four Faced Beast: 1500/1200
Al: Are you trying to kill yourself? You have almost no life points left. You are going to lose.
Yami Marik: Wrong, for now I shall sacrifice my monsters in order to summon a beast you've never encountered before!
Marik's monster: Raaagh! (Thunder is heard and the room darkens. A large shining creature appears).
Al: No, it can't be. I have heard of this creature. My ancestors, the British Crown, often sent archeologists to Egypt to take their treasure. They spoke of carvings of great unstoppable beasts!
Yami Marik: Now to get revenge for the ravaging of my homeland! Get ready my Winged Dragon of Ra!
Winged Dragon of Ra: 4400/3900
Yami Marik: Attack him with the full fury of all Egypt!
Winged Dragon of Ra: Graaah! (Opens mouth and blasts out a heavy stream of yellow flame. It engulfs Al destroying the Little Swordsman) Al: (falls to ground. Stutters) I...still...have a few...life points...
Al 300/Marik 100
Yami Marik: I think you're incorrect. Now I play the magic card Hinotama dealing you 500 life point damage!
Al 0/Marik 100
Al: No! No way! A common peasant couldn't beat one as great as myself!
Yami Marik: I'm afraid you've lost. So now, (takes out Millennium Rod) you shall suffer the consequences. (Rod turns into a dagger. Approaches Al)
Al: No! (Dagger is plunged into his forehead.
Yami Marik: (draws out dagger and turns it back into rod.) That's one down...
What does Marik mean? Could he be trying to kill a certain number of people? Find out in a future chapter of Cast to the Shadows!
