Ch.7 of Reawakening of the Pharaoh! : Otogi's advantage appears! Dungeon Dice Monsters!

"D-Dungeon Dice Monsters?" Jounouchi stuttered. "Yes!" Otogi said with intensity showing through his face. "This version though is a little different, instead of new dice, we just roll 3 virtual ones provide by the dungeon path card. You can summon monsters like we do in duel monsters, but you need to roll summoning crests to get them on the dice board! Every thing else works pretty much the same way!"

Jounouchi drew his card. "I summon Gear freed the Iron Knight (1800/1600)!" A man restrained by armor appeared ready for battle. "Now let's see if I do this right, dice roll!" Three virtual dice were thrown into the air. "Two summoning crests! That means Gear freed can move to the dice board!" The knight walked on the board and a path connecting to Ryu Senshi's previous path was made. 'Yeah! I did it!' Jounouchi said to himself.

"My turn! I summon Strike Ninja (1700/1200)!" A Ninja appeared and two ghost like souls speeded out of Otogi's graveyard. "Now I roll," There were two summoning crests showing. "I move my Strike Ninja to the field and activate his ability exclusively for the dice board. Doppelganger!" The Ninja made two clones of himself. "Now I activate my next card! My second graceful dice!" The blue dice landed on a… "5! That means that all of my monsters raise their attack by 500! (Doppelgangers: 2200/1700) (Orgoth: 3000/2950)" "No!" Jounouchi shouted. "Now doppelganger 1 Attack Ryu Senshi (200/1200)! Shadow clone strike!" The clone destroyed the dragon-armored warrior and disappeared. "I lose my clone once I attack but it was worth it!" (J: 5800)

"Go Panther warrior (2000/1600)!" A purple panther in armor appeared on the field. "Now my next card is Scapegoat!" Four lambs appeared surrounding the panther. The panther began to growl with saliva dripping down its mouth. "Now, Dice roll!" Jounouchi got two attack crests and a movement crest. "Chikusho." "Well, well, well, it looks like your panther warrior can't get on the board."

"Gear freed (1800/1600)! Attack the second Doppelganger!" Using the movement crests Jounouchi moved the knight into range of the clone ninjas. He sliced the left ninja into 3 parts.

"Your shinobi's a missing-nin!" "Shut up," was Otogi's reply. "You still can't get your panther on the board."

"But you never said monsters not on the board couldn't attack. I sacrifice one of my scapegoats to attack you directly!" The panther leaped over the board and struck Otogi in the stomach.

"Argh!" Otogi swore out loud. "I drew a card that will accompany my Orgoth to your defeat!" "I activate my Knight's ability from a couple turns ago! Soul of a Knight!" "What does that do?" "It lets me summon this! Buster Blader! (2600/2300) without sacrificing any monsters! And because you have a dragon in your graveyard, his attack becomes 3100!" "Oh-no!" "I've rolled nothing to put him on the board," Otogi said, "But he can attack your Panther warrior!" The dragon exterminator struck down the beast-warrior. (J: 4700)

"And that puts me in the lead!" "I play Remove Restraints!!!" "What good is that?" Otogi asked. "It turns my iron knight, into Sword Master Naked Gear freed (2600/2100)! The armor around Gear freed shattered leaving a very muscular man holding a sword. "Now I give him my Axe of Despair! It increases his attack by 1000 but, because his effect, he gets to destroy a monster. (NG: 3600/2100)" The Buster Blader exploded into a small fragments. "Now, Gear freed, attack Orgoth the Relentless! Warrior's Heart Strike!!" The man brought the axe upon Orgoth and cut him in half. (O: 4400)

"I play summon dice by paying 1000 life points (O: 3400)!" it landed on a 5. "I can now summon any monster from my hand with out sacrifices. "I summon Tyrant Dragon (2900/2500)!" A large red dragon rose from the ground. "Now I sacrifice it using Revival of the Diamond Blade! To summon Diamond Head Dragon (???? /????)!" a large crystal like dragon took the shape of the tyrant dragon.

"So what? It has no attack points!" Jounouchi retorted.

"It gains the attack of the sacrificed monster and an additional 1000 attack points. (DHD: 3900/2500)" "of course I can't get him on to the board right now. So he'll attack you! Fire sweeping Blast!"

"Hah!" A goat jumped in the path of the attack. "Too bad, I've still got my goats protecting me!" "Yes but you only have one left! And I activate Token thanksgiving which destroys token and an extra 800 life points for me!"

(O: 4200)

"That's it! I summon Rocket Warrior (1500/1000)!" A warrior covered in parts of a small rocket materialized. "Dice roll!" he got two summoning crests. "I move rocket warrior to the board!" The warrior moved to the dice board.

"Now! Rocket warrior! Destroy the last ninja in invincible mode!" the warrior turned into a rocket and destroyed the ninja.

"Now Sword Master naked Gear Freed I equip you with lightning blade (Gear Freed: 4300/2100)! Then I'll play offerings to the doomed!" The dragon was dragged underground.

"Attack with Heart of a Warrior slash!" (O:0)

"Nice move Jounouchi!!!" Yugi said out loud.

"Thanks yug!" Jounouchi replied flashing a smile. "Now, Otogi as we agreed?"

"Yeah here, my item point and my Diamond head dragon, Tyrant Dragon, and Revival of Diamond Blade cards." He handed over the four cards.

Jounouchi blinked. "What's with the extras Otogi?" "You'll need 'em for future duels baka." Otogi retorted. "Thanks, I'll use them well." "Later guys I'm going to find more duelists to beat!"

"Bye Otogi!" the gang called out.

"Nice job, Jounouchi." Mai said. "Thanks Mai. But when can I duel you again?" "Soon, but not yet." She replied giving the boy a sly smirk.

Meanwhile on the south side of the Island…

"You have lost, hand over your rarest card now!" A shadowed figure said, holding a boy up against a tree. "But…" "NOW!" the figure commanded. The boy gave up his Item cards, and a monster. The person dropped the boy and left.

The person began to talk seemingly to no one, but was really talking into a head set. "Master," they said. "I have obtained our third items. Do you wish for more?" "No," a dark voice replied. "My other Hunter-nins will collect the rest. That will be all."

"Yes master."

At the Pyramid…

"Niisan! Your back!" Mokuba exclaimed. "Did you do well today?"

"Yes mokuba, I have 3 Item points now. I would like to speak with Isis alone." The elder Kaiba emphasized the last word.

"Isis-san is in that room." The younger brother replied pointing to the room behind him. "But big brother she's"

"Thank you Mokuba, that's all I needed to know." Seto said interrupting his brother. He walked into the room.

"Big Brother she's!" A loud scream was heard, followed by a fist hitting jaw sound, mokuba sighed. 'Taking a shower.'

Inside Isis's room...

"Seto Kaiba your such a pervert! Ever heard of privacy?" Isis screamed covering herself as much as she could with a rather small towel.

" I wasn't planning on walking in on you, woman!" Seto yelled back, in his mind he was thinking… 'Although I'm really not complaining…she didn't look half bad, those nicely curved-' Seto mentally slapped himself. 'Don't be thinking about that Hentai!' he said to himself.

"Anyway, I would like to tell you some strange group that you refused to sign with, has put eliminators on the Island." He said while turning around waiting for Isis to get dressed. "Kaiba, you can turn around now." Seto turned around only to feel like lightning hit him. She wasn't wearing her normal attire. Somewhere down in Kaiba's now sewage filled mind, a voice said to him, {Awesome, now grab her butt!}

"Kaiba? Kaiba! I said, we need to go to the hotels for the demo tonight!" Isis said waving her hand in his face. "Huh? Oh sure." Kaiba replied snapping out of his trance.

Isis and Kaiba headed to the west Hotel.

Yugi had finished watching Rurouni Kenshin, Inuyasha and his tenth tape of Naruto in his room. /That was amazing Yugi! Where did you get those great battles and how did you put them in this small box? / The transparent form of Yami said ecstatically. 'It's an ANIME, a bunch of drawings made to represent a story and they put those pictures on film by a complicated process that I don't know how.' Yugi explained. 'Geez, living with a 5,000 year old spirit makes me feel much smarter…' /I heard that aibou! / Jounouchi burst in the room. "Yugi there's a bunch of people down stairs! They said it's some kind of special duel monsters event for tonight only! We can get dinner right after that too!" "Cool! Let's go!" Yugi and Jounouchi raced out of the room as fast as they could to get down stairs.

"Welcome duelists! Tonight we have a very special event!" Isis Ishtal announced. "For this tournament only, we're having a gamble duel!" Murmurs swept the crowd of duelists. "If you win, you'll receive TWO Item cards and two rare cards from your opponents deck!" /Yugi, this could be our way of getting a jump-start in the tournament! / Yami said.

"This random selector will choose two duelists now." Kaiba said pointing to a machine shaped like a Blue-eyes Ultimate Dragon. "Ready? Here we go!" The selector chose… "Duelist # 28 and Duelist #146!"A computer showed the profiles of the two duelists and Isis guided Yugi (#28) to a separate room away from the stares of the crowd. In the other room, Kaiba left the opponent (#146). "You have 5 minutes to prepare." A speaker in both rooms said.

Note: I changed strike Ninja's ability only for this duel because it's the other abilities wouldn't work for a DDM game in the middle of Duel Monsters. If I use strike ninja again, it will have it's normal ability.
