^____^ Hallo peeps! 0.0 Man, this was a fast update! Lol. Anyway, this next chappie is written by popular demand to Rishid and Jou's duel! ^_~ I hope ya like it!

Chapter Two: Jonouchi vs. Rishid!
*******************
Jou and the others--minus Anzu, for she was with the injured Bakura--rode in the elevator to the top of the blimp.
'Malik…' Jou thought angrily. 'You'll pay fer everythin' ya did ta us, I swear…' he hissed mentally. He made a promise to Yuugi to defeat Malik in a duel, so they could have their own fight. Jou would win back his red-eyes in Battle City, just like he promised.
"Jou-kun, you have to be very careful when you duel Malik," Yami Yuugi said, arms crossed over his chest and a frown upon his face.
"Whadda ya mean, Yuge?" Jou asked, blinking slightly.
"Malik will do anything to win, Jou-kun. He won't be afraid to try and use his Sennen Rod to win this duel," Jou frowned at that.
"Yeah, but I already broke free 'a his mind control, Yuge!" Jou protested.
"Be that as it may, he is still very dangerous," The former Pharaoh stated.
"Hey, I was second in the Duellist Kingdom Tournament, Yuge! Have a little faith!" he said.
"But Jou-kun-"
"But nothin', Yuge! I'll kick his cheatin' ass an' we'll get ta duel like we promised," he grinned. Yami Yuugi sighed, looking a tad disappointed that Jonouchi wouldn't heed his warning.
"Good luck, Jou-kun," He nodded.
"Thanks!" Jou grinned.
The group arrived on the field, and, to their surprise, the same black-skinned man was standing on the duel field waiting.
"Malik!" Jou growled, instantly bristling. He remembered that bastard, all right. He was the one that not only kicked his ass, but also controlled his mind!
'Malik' didn't say anything, impassive. Isono raised one arm up.
"Duellists to the field!" he announced. Jou jumped up with a scowl, death glare focused on the man before him. Kaiba smirked from his place at the sidelines, Mokuba at his side as usual.
"Hey guys!" Namu waved with a smile from his place at the other side of the duel field, where Yami Yugi, Honda, Mai and Otogi had gathered.
"Hey Namu," They nodded. Yami Yugi frowned at him, though. There was something…wrong with him. But Namu only grinned, and turned to the duel.
"Opponents, shuffle the other's deck," Isono ordered. Both participants walked to the centre, Jou glaring the whole while as he shuffled 'Malik's' deck continuously. Of course, 'Malik' only did a quick shuffle.
"You've shuffled enough!" Isono glare at the blonde, who had shuffled well over ten times by now. Grumbling an insult under his breath, Jou slapped the other's deck in his hand, and grabbed his own deck hastily.
"Malik!" Jou growled. 'Malik' only stared, emotionless. "I'm gonna make ya pay fer takin' control a' my mind! So to move on an' duel Yuge in th' finals, I'm gonna beat'cha in exactly nine turns!"
"Has he lost it?!" Mai cried. "There's no way he could do what he's saying!"
"With Jou, you don't ask questions," Honda said with a sweatdrop. Otogi nodded.
"Un; Un,"
"Think what you want, Jonouchi-sama," 'Malik' said. "But I wouldn't make assumptions just yet. You have yet to face my full power!" He said, grabbing the Sennen Rod from his belt and holding it out towards the blonde. Of course, it was a fake, even if no one else knew that.
"Yeeeagh!" Jou yelped, jumping back slightly. 'That must'a been what he used ta control my mind wit!' He realised. "Ya chicken! If ya had any REAL guts, ya wouldn' hafta use dat ting!" He challenged. "Fight me like a man, ya coward!"
'Malik' chuckled. "Very well, Jonouchi-sama," He said. "I don't need it to beat the likes of you! Duel!" He put the Sennen Rod away, much to everyone's relief. The duel disks started up, and the duel began.
'Hmm…what can I do ta beat this guy…?' Jou wondered as he looked at his cards. 'Heh, what am I thinkin'? If I beat him, den I save da world! Heh, an' den Kaiba'll HAVE to respect me-' "Waack!!" Jou yelped as a sudden gust of wind blew his cards from his hands.
"What a klutz!" Kaiba snorted. But by some miracle, the blonde had managed to snag every last cards that he had drawn, some even caught in his teeth as he made a frantic grab.
"JOU!! Stop daydreaming and keep your brain focused on the duel!!!!" Honda cried in disbelief. That scatterbrain!! He'd loose before he even had a chance to draw his card!!
"Shut up!!" Jou snapped, getting a firmer hold on his cards. 'Whoo, gotta be careful 'bout those gusts,' he thought. 'But Honda's right, I gotta start payin' more attention ta what 'm doin'…' "I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode!" Jou announced. Gearfried appeared on the field, ATK 1800/DEF 1600.
'Malik' seemed unfazed by this as he drew a card.
"I'll activate a magic card, Temple of the Kings!" Instantly, a huge, Egyptian Temple appeared behind him.
"Holy crap! Dat's huge!!" Jou exclaimed in shock.
"Not only is this temple large, Jonouchi-sama, but it also puts a limit to the amount of magic and trap cards you can play per turn," 'Malik' said. "Now you may only play one magic or trap every turn!"
"What?!" Jou gasped. 'Crap! Not good!'
"And to finish my turn, I will place to cards face-down," He announced. "It's your move, Jonouchi-sama. Let's see your 'amazing power'; attack me if you dare,"
"Yeah, yeah, wise guy…" Jou growled drawing his card. Tiny Guardian. 'Not much help…' Jou frowned, looking through his hand. 'Giant Trunade! Perfect! Now I can bypass his traps, an' totally blow him away!' Jou thought. 'I'll just build up my team 'til I got enough monsters ta blow away his life points! Den I'll play this lil' number!' "I summon Tiny Guardian in attack mode, Malik! An' I WON' attack! Your move, big guy!" He grinned. Oh yeah, he was going to kick major ass. Tiny Guardian joined the field, ATK 1400/DEF 1800.
"I shall place two more cards face-down, Jonouchi-sama," 'Malik' announced. "That will also end my turn,"
"Man, what a boring duel! Somebody do something!" Honda said.
"It's part of Jou's strategy, Honda-kun," Yami Yugi smirked in amusement. Mai blinked.
"You call THIS a strategy? What do you mean?"
"Just watch," He said.
"My turn!" Jou said, drawing his card. He drew Hyabusa Knight, ATK 1000/DEF 700. 'Awesome! Wit dis guy, I can attack twice in one turn! I can win now!' "I summon Hyabusa Knight ta da field!" He announced. "An' now, Malik, yer goin' down! I play Giant Trunade!" He announced. Mai's eyes widened.
"If this works, he wins!!" she gasped.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Jonouchi-sama," 'Malik' chuckled. "I activate my trap card, Judgement of Anubis!" He said, pressing the trap button. "It destroys all of your monsters, and half of their total attack power is subtracted from your life points," He smirked. "Say good bye to 1900 of your life points, Jonouchi-sama!"
"Ack!" Jou cringed. 'Not good at all!! Now I don' have any monsters on da field!! I'm a sittin' duck!' "I end my turn," He grumbled.
"Very well. I shall place two more cards face down, and end my turn!" 'Malik' announced.
"Yeah, yeah…" Jou grumbled as he drew his card. "I summon Alligator's Sword in attack mode!" He sad as his monster appeared, with ATK 1500/DEF 1200. "But I ain't attackin' dis turn, an' I'll place one card face-down. Yer turn," He said.
'Malik' simply drew a card and said, "I pass,"
"Grr…" Jou growled. 'He wants me to attack. Well, two can play at dat game!' "I pass too!" Jou said as he drew his card.
"Then I'll draw again," He looked at his card. "NO, this one's no good. I pass again," He said.
"Grrr…!" Jou twitched. Okay, he cracked. "I summon Rocket Warrior in attack mode!" He yelled. Rocket Warrior appeared, ATK 1500/DEF 1300. "Attack his life points directly!" He yelled.
"No!" Yami growled. But it was too late.
"You fell right into my trap! I active my trap card, Eye of Oujot!" He said. An Egyptian eye appeared on the Rocket Warrior as 'Malik' took control of it. "Now I command your Rocket Warrior to attack you Alligator's Sword!"
"Heh! I place down a few traps myself, Malik!" Jou grinned. "I activate Fairy Box!" He said. A giant 'whack-a-mole' box appeared, and the monster dove inside.
"What's this??" 'Malik' cried as it started shooting up out of random holes in the box.
"Wassa matter, Malik?" Jou jeered. "Haven't'cha ever played 'Whack-a-Mole?'" He grinned as 'Malik' seemed to struggle for a moment.
"Rocket Warrior, attack!" He yelled. The Rocket did so, and hit one hole.
"Heh, too bad, Malik! Wrong hole!" Jou said as his Alligator's Sword lifted its head out from another hole. "Ya know, I bet you don' even have one monster in yer whole entire deck! I bet it's all magic an' trap cards!" he said.
"Hn. You're wrong, Jonouchi-sama! Indeed I do have monsters, but of a very rare kind! It's called a 'Trap Monster'!" he said.
"Wha? Is there even such a thing?" Jou asked in surprise.
"Indeed there is! And now you're activated not one, but three of them! Rise, Embodiment of Apopis!" He ordered. Three of his trap cards rose up, and revealed three monsters, all the same. They were half-snake, half-human, with snakehead rising out of their backs. And they all had 1600 ATK power. "You're done for, Jonouchi-sama!"
'Oh crap… Man, this doesn't look good for me…' Jou thought as he switched his Alligator's Sword and Rocket Warrior to defence mode. "I'll place one card face down, and end my turn!" 'Hopefully, my Scapegoat card can buy me some time,' he thought hopefully as he watched the other draw his card.
"I'll have all three of my Apopis monsters attack!" 'Malik' ordered. Jou watched as his Rocket Warrior and Alligator's Sword were destroyed, before activating his card.
"I activate Scapegoat!" he said.
"Not so fast, Jonouchi-sama," 'Malik' said. "I activate this! Magic Jammer!" Jou's eyes went wide. 'No!' "But discarding one card from my hand, I am able to negate the effect of a magic card, and destroy it! That means your scapegoat card is useless! Apopis, attack him directly!" The last snake-human swung its sword, and attacked Jonouchi.
"Aaarrgh!!" Jou cried out, skidding back a few feet.
"Jonouchi!!" His friends cried from the sideline. Seto seemed unfazed by this, though.
Excellent job, Rishid! Malik grinned. Once we beat him, we need only destroy Kaiba, and that damned Pharaoh! Don't disappoint me!
'Yes, Master Malik,' Rishid nodded mentally.
Jou growled as his life points dropped to 200, while 'Malik's' were still at a high 4000.
"It seems that you WON'T defeat me in two turns, Jonouchi-sama," 'Malik' said. "You're barely managing to keep up as it is!"
"Says you!" Jou snapped. "Draw!" He was in a tight spot, and he knew it. "I summon Swordsman of Landstar in defence mode, and play two cards face-down!" Jou said. It had 500 ATK and 1500 DEF. "It's your turn, Malik!"
"Very well!" he said, and drew his card. "Now you shall lose, Jonouchi-sama!" he announced. "Embodiment of Apopis, wipe out the rest of his pitiful life points!" Jou grinned.
"Not so fast, Malik! I activate my Foolish Burial magic card!" He said. "It lets me place one of the cards in my hand in your graveyard!" he grinned.
"What's the point of that?" 'Malik questioned. "That won't help you!" Jou activated his other card.
"It will now! I activate my trap card, Graverobber!" He said. "Now I can take BACK the card I threw in your grave!" He grinned. "An' now I'll bring back this! Jinzo!"
"No!" 'Malik' gasped.
"Yes! An' thanks ta Jinzo's special ability, he can destroy all of yer trap cards! Go, Jinzo!" Jou grinned. Twin red beams of light sprung forth from the creature's eyes as it destroyed all three Embodiments of Apopis. "Ha! Take that, ya mind-controllin' freak!" Jou grinned as his opponent was left with absolutely no monsters whatsoever.
"Rrr…" 'Malik' growled in annoyance.
"An' now I summon Battle Warrior in attack mode, an' switch Swordsman of Landstar to attack mode too!" He grinned. Jinzo: 2400/1500, Battle Warrior: 500/1500, and Battle Warrior: 700/1000. "Attack dat creep now!" he said. 'Malik' grunted as all three monsters attacked, reducing his once-full amount of life points to a measly 400, only 200 more than Jou's. "Ha! Not so might now, is ya? You can't play any more trap cards!" Jou grinned.
"Way to go, Jou!" Honda grinned.
"Yeah! You've got him beat!" Otogi cheered.
"Hn. Don't be so sure, Jonouchi-sama! For I play my Swords of Revealing Light to stop you for three whole turns!" he said. And since it was magic, not a trap card, Jinzo couldn't destroy it.
"Grr… You'll still lose, Malik!" Jou snapped as he drew a card. "I sacrifice Battle Warrior to summon The Legendary Fisherman in defence mode!" It had 1850 ATK, and 1600 DEF, so even if it couldn't attack, it could defend his life points better than his Battle Warrior could. "Then I'll switch my other monster to defence mode as well!" Jou said. "Your turn!"
"I draw!" 'Malik' said. His blood ran cold when he saw the card: The Winged Dragon of Ra.
Why so surprised, Rishid? If you are going to pose as me, you will need The Winged Dragon of Ra. Of course, it's only a copy.
'But Master! I cannot use this card! I am not worthy!' Rishid protested, looking for the first time, scared.
You can and you will Rishid! Do it! Malik demanded. Seal the God card in the Ark of the Temple!
"Hey! You gonna make a move or what?" Jou called.
"Is it just me, or does Malik look scared?" Mai asked.
"Ever since he drew that last card, he HAS been actin' weird," Honda agreed.
"It might have something to do with that arc at the temple…" Yami Yugi murmured.
"Ark shmark! He's beat, and he knows it!" Otogi said. "C'mon Jou!"
"Silence!" 'Malik' growls. "I seal this card in the Sacred Arc of the Temple!" he said. "I end my turn,"
"Good! I use my monster reborn ta bring back my Alligator's Sword so I can sacrifice him an' my Swordsman of Landstar ta bring out my Insect Queen!" he said. Instantly, the same card he had won from Inspector Haga crawled from the card, to field. Insect Queen had 2200 ATK points, and 2400 DEF points. "An' I'll summon her in defence mode ta end my turn!" Jou announced. N'I gotta strengthen my defence if dat card's really his Egyptian God.' He thought. The Swords of Revealing Light dispersed; the card's effect had expired.
"Ha! Now even yer magic card's gone! Next turn, you done!" Jou grinned.
"Not so! For now it is YOU that will perish, Jonouchi-sama! I use two magic cards! Cup of Sealed Soul and Seal or Serket!" Both a chalice and a disk appeared dark energy radiating off of them.
"What's that do?" Jou asked with a frown.
"When played in combination with my Temple of the Kings magic card, they summon forth an unbeatable beast known at Mystical Beast of Serket!" The two objects disappeared, leaving in their place, a huge, red, scaly scorpion with shark-like teeth.
"Crap that's ugly!" Jou cried in shock. "An' powerful! Yikes!" he gaped at the beast's ATK power, which was 2500 and it had a DEF of 2000. It was stronger than any of his monsters on the field.
"I have much stronger monsters than THIS in my deck, Jonouchi-sama!" 'Malik' said. "For my Winged Dragon of Ra is the card in the Arc of this very temple!" he said.
"WHAT?!" Everyone's eyes widened, save Namu, who smirked slightly.
'I guess that attending this duel wasn't so useless, after all,' Kaiba thought with a smirk. He frowned slightly when he saw dark clouds looming over the duel field.
"Get KaibaCorp's satellite ready. If that God Card is played, I want to know what's on it," He said.
"Hai!" Mokuba nodded, running from the duel to the control room.
"Now, my Mystical Beast!" 'Malik' commanded. "Attack his Jinzo!" Jou watched in horror as the beast literally ATE his Jinzo, and devoured half his attack points, making it's own rise to 3700.
"No!" Jou cried. It would just keep on getting stronger, now! He drew his card. Useless. "I…I pass," Jou muttered.
"Then, Mystical Beast of Serket, devour his Insect Queen next!" The Queen was destroyed, and Serket's attack rose to 4900.
Jou drew again. 'Still nothing?? Oh man…' "I'll pass again," he said.
"He only has one monster left!" Mai said. "He's going to lose!"
"Have faith, Mai. Jou's not through, yet," Yami Yugi said.
"What…?" She frowned. "But it's hopeless!"
"Just watch," he said.
"You foolish boy!" 'Malik' said. "Beast, get rid of his last monster!" Jou winced as he watched his Fisherman meet his end, raising the beast's attack to 5825. "Now you have no defence left, Jonouchi-sama!" He said. "Your end if near!"
"I wouldn' count of it," Jou said as he drew his card. "I'll pass again,"
"Hn. You are indeed quite foolish," 'Malik' said. "You bragged on about winning, and beating me, yet here you are, at my mercy,"
"I don' think so," Jou said.
"What?" 'Malik' frowned.
"Y'see, ever since we started dis duel, I've got dis weird feelin' in my gut dat tells me dat yer not really who ya say ya are,"
"What??" Everyone's eyes widened.
"'Cause even though ya say yer Malik, ya haven't been actin' like him one bit. Malik's always connivin', and tricky, but you, you duelled fairly an' everythin'!"
"Rrr…" 'Malik' clenched his fist, gritting his teeth. "I am Malik, fool!" He said. "And to prove it, I'll have my Beast of Serket destroy you!" He said. "Attack him, my beast!!"
Jou just closed his eyes, looking ever bit as calm as he would when serious.
"Jonouchi!!!!" They cried in horror. Even Kaiba had a look of shock on his face as he saw the beast's claw reach out for the boy's neck.
'Jonouchi…' He could only stare in horror.
STOP! Malik commanded. The beast's claw stopped mere millimetres from the blonde's neck.
"Wha…?" Jou slowly opened his eyes, blinking when he saw that the claw had stopped. "Why didn't he attack…?"
'Master…?'
Play the Winged Dragon of Ra!
'What?'
It is the only way to convince them that you are really I! Do it, Rishid! You are my servant, and you will do as told!
'But Master…!'
DO IT!
"I will prove to you that I am Malik, Jonouchi-sama!" 'Malik' announced. "I will summon my Egyptian God, sealed in the Sacred Ark! Mystical Beast of Serket, I sacrifice you to the Almighty Winged Dragon of Ra!" He called out. The beast roared loudly as it shattered from the field, and the Arc at the temple opened up. Golden light sprang forth from it, bathing the field.
Everyone watched in awe as a molten-gold figure appeared above the field, flickering like pure fire as its attack was revealed to be 5845, and a defence of 2000.
"The Winged Dragon of Ra absorbs all the attack and defence power of the monsters offered, Jonouchi-sama!" 'Malik' said. "You never stood a chance at beating me!" he said.
"I won't give up!" Jou shot back. "You have to attack me for you to win, *Malik*!"
"And I shall! Winged Dragon of Ra, attack and destroy him!" 'Malik' ordered.
Nothing happened. Ra did not move, and Jou's life points did not diminish.
'Something is wrong,' Ishizu frowned as she looked out the window.
Indeed, there was something wrong. Malik's God Card began to glow, as if enraged that a fake had been played. Loud booms of thunder echoed around them, and lightning danced about as rain clouds settled in.
Kaiba eyed those warily, wisely stepping back under a covered area. He did NOT want to transform right now.
"Attack, Ra! I command it!" 'Malik' ordered. But the God in the sky only let out an angered roar, disappearing from the duel field as another clap of thunder was heard, and a lightning bolt struck the field. Jou yelped, momentarily blinded as a heavy downpour started, as if cued by the lightning.
Cold, wet rain fell from the sky, drenching them both as lightning jolted about the sky angrily. "Yaah!" Katsu cried, holding her ears as another loud shock of thunder hit them all. She didn't even notice she had turned into a girl, only trying to keep the booming sound from hurting her eardrums anymore.
'He's a girl?!' Namu gaped at the now-Katsu, eyes wide. Even Isono looked thoroughly confused as Jou's hair turned red, he shrunk slightly, gained curves to his body, and grew breasts.
Still, the lightning clapped about them. It was if the very wrath of the gods was raining down upon them.
"Jou!! Look out for the lightning!!" Yami Yugi cried. Katsu yelped as one struck the ground in front of her feet.
"I'm like a sittin' duck out here!!" She cried. And water conducted electricity… Katsu looked up, face fearful as a lightning bolt came down directly upon her.
Rishid simply closed his eyes in regret. 'I am sorry I failed you, Master Malik.'
The lightning struck them both.
