Chapter 14: A Friendship in Turmoil: Can Joey Save Yugi?

Same Time as Ch. 13 (which I hope you read)

Yugi: Ha, my Dark Magician is in play and you're down to 1800 life points. This is easier than I thought!

Joey: Yugi! Snap out of this! You're going crazy!

Yugi: Shut up! I will reign as the supreme duelist!

Yami: Yugi! I order you to stop! (Tries to take control)

Yugi: (Grabs Millennium Puzzle and takes off neck) Goodbye you old charm! (Throws it out the window)

Mai: Did Yugi just throw his Puzzle away?

Yugi: Yes you blind bitch! Now go Joey so I can finish you!

Joey: Fine, I'll snap you outta this Yuge. (Draws a card) (Thinks) Hey, this is Raigeki. How'd I get this card? Oh yeah, it's one of the ones Marik slipped in my deck when he wanted me to beat Yugi. This duel is just like that one except it's my turn to save Yugi. (Talking) I play Raigeki clearing your field! (A thunderbolt destroyed Yugi's monsters) Now I summon Little Winguard in attack mode!

Little Winguard: 1400/1800 Effect: You can switch this monster's battle position during your End Phase. (A small creature wearing blue armor with purple wings on it appeared. He held a short sword and a shield with rubies on them)

Joey: Now attack my Winguard with Gust Sword!

Little Winguard: (A blast of air flew from its sword and his Yugi)

Yugi 2600/Joey 1800

Yugi: That is minimal damage. Now for the card to defeat you! I activate Dark Magic Ritual! (Two stands with blue flame at the tips appeared in front of Yugi) Now I offer my Dark Magician and Berfomet from my hand to summon Magician of Black Chaos!

Magician of Black Chaos: 2800/2300 (A wizard with blue skin floated down to the field. He clutched a long black staff with red design, similar to the armor he wore)

Yugi: Now attack his pathetic monster!

Magician of Black Chaos: (A ball of red energy flew from the staff and destroyed Joey's Winguard)

Yugi 2600/Joey 1800

Yugi: How? You cheating bas...

Joey: I used my monster effect at the end of last turn to switch him to defense mode. Now I'll go. (Draws a card) Awesome! I activate Polymerization to fuse two monsters in my hand. They are Alligator's Sword (1500/1200) and Baby Dragon (1200/700)! (The monsters merged together. The result was the alligator atop the dragon)

Alligator Sword Dragon (I think that's the name...): 1700/1500 (I am unsure of the stats also) Effect: Can attack opponent directly if they have no Light monsters in play.

Joey: Now my dragon, attack!

Alligator Sword Dragon: (Flies over the Magician and slashes at Yugi)

Yugi 900/Joey 1800

Joey: Yugi, now I have double the life points you have. Just give it up, man. I know you're a good duelist, you taught me everything I know!

Yugi: J-Joey...(smacks himself in the face) No, I won't be tricked by your friendship talk! Now to finish you! I equip Magician of Black Chaos with Book of Secret Arts and Sword of Dark Destruction!

Magician of Black Chaos: 3500/2400 (Begins to glow as a sword replaces the staff)

Yugi: Now I summon Gazelle who will attack directly once my Magician is done.

Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts: 1500/1200 (A lion with a horn roared at Joey)

Joey: Fine, Yuge. Attack and finish me if you want. But remember, I think you're a good duelist. You're my friend...and even you beating me won't change that.

Yugi: Joey...how can I attack my friend...(growls) No! I am not falling into your trap! Magician of Black Chaos, attack and destroy his Dragon!

Magician of Black Chaos: (Swings the sword and cleaves the monster in half)

Yugi: Now Gazelle, get ready...

Joey: Yugi no!

Mai: Stop!

Voice: I think it's time I intervene!

All (except voice): No way, its...

HES: A cliffhanger until next chapter. Now, I'd like to thank all my devoted readers for staying with us to this crucial point. There will probably only be a few chapters after this but don't fear. I'm still gonna write and I have loads of ideas. Also, check out sideshowtom's Just Desserts featuring a few chapters by yours truly. But now without further ado...

Next time on Cast to the Shadows: Someone has stepped in to stop Joey and Yugi's duel. Then there's a huge problem. Even though Yugi snaps out of his insanity, it turns out there was a fault in D2's programming. The fault, it causes it to think humans are useless and wants to eliminate them. Our heroes will need and help and will find it in a place they never suspected (Yes, there will be more dueling).
