Chapter 3

Disclaimer:" I own none of the monsters/cards or the names of any characters seen in the popular television show or seen in the comics.

Yugi was falling, falling into a pit of darkness with no sign at all of ground. 15 seconds...20 seconds...25 seconds...30 seconds then he hit solid cement. He wasn't in any pain, just confused at why he didn't feel anything. He looked to his left and saw a pair of blue shoes. He looked up to see a pair of long slender legs, then he saw a pair of short brown shorts, then a belt, then a brown shirt. He looked up a bit more and saw Tea looking down at him with an extended arm. Yugi grabbed her hand and stood up thanking Tea.
"Yugi Moto I presume" said a voice behind Yugi
"Yes, and who are you" retorted Yugi
"My identity is irrelevant at this point" answered the voice
"Show yourself!" demanded Yugi
A man dressed in pure black appeared out of the shadows sporting a duel disk. He was fairly tall with his face covered in a black mask. On the mask was a painted on smile. He faced towards Yugi then he briefly looked at Tea.
"Well then, here are the rules, I'll duel you for your millennium puzzle. If you win you get my one and only locator card, agreed?" asked the hooded man
"Fine, but only if you tell me your name!" demanded Yugi
"For all extensive purposed my name will be Nightmare." Said the hooded man.
As the life points went up, Yugi noticed something strange, they went to 4000 then they kept climbing to 8000.
"Very perceptive of you, this makes the duels more exciting." Said Nightmare Nightmare: 8000 Yugi: 8000
"I'll go first!" said Nightmare drawing his hand of 5 plus an additional card. "I play the magic card Necrovalley. As long as this card remains face up on the field, all cards regarding graveyards are negated. And in addition, all monsters with the word "Gravekeepers" in their names get an additional 500 attack and defense points. Next I activate the magic card Gravekeepers Servant. Each time you attack, the top card on your deck is sent straight to the graveyard. I'll play another card face down and a monster in face down defense mode. That ends my turn.
"First I play the magic card Graceful Charity allowing me to draw 3 cards." Yugi drew three cards. After careful consideration, he discarded his Feral Imp and the Celtic Guardian. Then I'll summon Beta, the magnet warrior(1700/1600) in attack mode and play 1 card face down. I'll end my turn."
"I'll draw and then I'll play the magic card fissure, destroying your magnet warrior. Next, I'll summon Fear from the Dark(1700/1500) in attack mode and flip my La Ginn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp.(1800/1000) into attack mode. Then I'll play the card known as banner of courage. As long as this card remains face up on my side of the field, my monsters gain 200 attack points during my battle phase. No, Fear from the Dark and La Ginn, attack Yugi's life points directly!"
As the shadow appeared, it extended its hand into Yugi's heart and then retracted it back to itself. As the genie attacked, it was sucked into a cone and then shot back at Nightmare.
"That was my trap card, Magic Cylinder, it redirects your attack right back at you" Nightmare:6000 Yugi:6100
"Good one Yugi" said Tea
"Now it's my turn, I'll draw and I'll summon big shield Gardna in defense mode. I'll play two card face down and end my turn
"I draw and play the magic card Dragged Down Into the Grave. I get to see your hand you get to see mine. We each choose 1 card to discard then we each draw 1 card."
Nightmare saw Yugi's hand with spellbinding circle, Gazel the king of mythical beasts and curse of dragon. Nightmare had Castle of Dark illusions, Despair from the dark and robbin' zombie. Yugi chose Despair from the dark and Nightmare took spellbinding circle.
"Then I'll play poisons of the old man dealing you 800 damage. Then I'll end my turn. Nightmare:6000 Yugi:5300 "I'll draw and play the magic card, card destruction!. With this card, we each discard our hand and draw a new hand of however many we previously had.
That activates my despair from the dark's(2800/2900) effect, now he is special summoned in attack mode!" stated Nightmare.
I'll play the magic card sogen destroying your necrovalley. Then I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon destroying your face down card. Then I'll use the magic card premature burial on Beta. Then I'll sacrifice Beta, and Gamma(1500/1800) and Alpha(1400/1700) to special summon Valkerion the magnet warrior(3550/3800) in attack mode. Then my magnet warrior will attack your genie! I'll discard my magical hats from my deck. Then I'll end." Nightmare:4300 Yugi:4500
Nice one Yugi, you've got him right where you want him" said Tea

"I'll place one card face down and activate the magic card change of heart on your warrior.
"I'll activate my trap card magic drain" said Yugi
"I'll discard my monster reborn to acquire your magnet warrior. Now, attack his big shield Gardna!"
As the giant magnetic warrior attacked with his electrical sword to Gardna, a meteor storm hit Yugi.
"That was my trap card, Meteorain. It deals the difference of our stats to you. Now fear from the dark and Despair from the dark attack his life points directly! I'll activate nightmare wheel on your despair from the dark! Nightmare:4300 Yugi: 1600
"After I get my magnet warrior back, I'll draw. I'll use my magnet warrior's effect to separate into three pieces. Then I'll sacrifice all three for the Saint God dragon Osirus(x000/x000! Since I have three cards in my hand, he is a 3000. No my god, attack his fear from the dark. I'll discard my Summoned Skull(2500/1200). I'll end by putting a second card face down. Nightmare:3000 Yugi:1600
"Yeah Yugi!!" said Tea
"I'll draw and activate the magic card Delinquent Duo. This makes you discard 2 cards form your hand, one random and the other you choose."
As one of the demons chose a card, Yugi discards another.
"Then I'll play confiscation discarded your last card at the cost of 1000 life points. Then my Despair from the dark will attack your Osirus!"
"I'll flip over two Jar of Greed trap cards.
The giant shadow attacked the god card and engulfed it. Nightmare: 2000 Yugi:600
I'll draw and play heavy storm destroying your banner of courage and my sogen. Then I'll place one monster in defense mode ending my turn "A desperate move that won't help you. I'll draw and play the magic card stop defense on your face down card flipping over the mystical elf, then my Despair will attack! As the giant shadow approached the mystical elf the elf disappeared and the card flipped over. The shadow attacked the face down card which killed the elf. "I played my quick play magic card Book of Moon to save my life points. Now I draw and special summon my rock spirit by removing Celtic Guardian from the duel. Then I'll sacrifice the rock spirit for Des Wolfscout(2200/2000) in attack mode. I'll end by playing one card face down. I'll draw and attack Des Wolfscout. As the giant shadow attacked it hit a wall and was killed by des Wolfscout.

I'll play one card face down and end my turn Nightmare:1200 Yugi:600 "Thanks to my mirror wall trap card, your monsters attack was halved and my Des Wolfscout was able to crush it. I draw and sacrifice my mirror wall, Then I'll play the magic card black pendent on my Des Wolfscout(2700/2000) and then I'll summon Des Feral Imp(1600/1800) in attack mode. Des Wolfscout, attack his life points directly, ending this duel! As the Wolfscout attacked Nightmare, a graveyard appeared and then Despair from the Dark re-appeared and killed the Wolfscout. Nightmare:700 Yugi:500 "I'll draw and attack your Des Feral Imp!" "No, Yugi!!!!" screamed Tea The giant shadow enveloped the imp and spit it out at Yugi. Nightmare:700 Yugi:0 "No, my Puzzle" yelled Yugi but it was too late, nightmare had quickly dashed to Yugi and grabbed his shirt. "I won fair and square, so hand over the puzzle now Moto!" As hard as it was, Yugi handed over his puzzle to Nightmare with these parting words "I will get this back" Nightmare laughed evilly and focused on Tea. He walked towards her and looked at her neck. He grabbed her neck and chanted some ancient language. Yugi looked on in awe as the millennium puzzle glowed and another millennium symbol lingered on the puzzle until it separated and formed the millennium ring around Nightmares neck. He let go of Tea and ran off out of sight laughing.

Note: Please review this story and offer ideas if you can. And by the way, I'm sure that I got something wrong and I'm using the rule from the show that says you can summon in defense mode. Sorry for the delay and the problems.
