---- Chapter 10: Seeing God - Times Two!! ----
=== Russia ===
Obelisk grinned, as a Duel Disk materialized on its hand. Terutaka fell to his knees, and screamed in horror.
"So," spoke Obelisk in a booming voice, "what do you think of the God of Obelisk? Marvelous, isn't it? Too bad all your Traps can't help you now...."
Obelisk leaned back, energy flying into its right hand.
"God Fist Crusher!!!!"
One punch from Obelisk shattered the ground into tiny pieces, throwing Terutaka far, far away.... and blowing an enormous crater into the ground.

Both duelists' eyes snapped open, as they turned to see a huge shockwave blast through the sky. Each of them was blown to the ground, as Yugi whispered, "Obelisk.... ?"
=== New York City ===
Without warning, the walls caved in on Kaori, as Jonathan dived over her. When the smoke cleared, Kaori lay on the floor, coughing, as Jonathan remained limp on the bed.
"W-What in.... Was that.... a God Card?"
=== Russia ===
Masaharu had, by now, de-fused from Obelisk, and began to walk towards a distant plume of smoke. For what seemed like hours, he trudged on, exhausted from fusing with a God Card. Eventually, he lost all his strength, collapsing to the ground unconscious.
=== Egypt ===
Yugi picked himself up, as he looked off into the distance. He was certain that the attack had come from Obelisk, but had barely any time to react before being blown to the ground by a huge blast of fire. As he turned, he saw the God of Horus - a man with a hawk's head and holding a longsword - with its hand extended, smoke rising from it. Keiko was hunched over on the ground, panting softly.
"What do you think of my God Card, Yugi Mutou? It's truly quite powerful - 3000 attack and defense points, immunity to destruction effects, and the ability to discard your hand whenever it deals damage to you...."
Gritting his teeth, Yugi placed his entire hand into his graveyard, and returned his gaze to Keiko.

=== New York City ===
Noticing that Jonathan had fallen unconscious by shoving her out of the way of the debris, Kaori rushed over to him, turning him over on his back as she tried to slap him awake.
"Jonathan! Jonathan! Wake up!!"
Coughing hoarsely, Jonathan looked up. Managing a grin, he asked, "You alright, Kaori-san?" Kaori quickly nodded, as Jonathan continued on.
"That blast had magnificent power.... There's only one time before this that I've felt such strength.... The first was near the end of the Battle City tournament...."
".... !!! So.... it was a God Card...." muttered Kaori.
=== Russia ===
"Wake up.... Wake up!!"
His eyes snapping open, Masaharu sat straight up, and noticed that he was wrapped tightly in bandages inside of a small hut. Looking up, he saw Terutaka laying across from him.
"Fool. You thought you could fuse with a card that powerful and stay healthy? What an amateur...."
Before Masaharu could say anything, Terutaka shoved three cards into his face - the Millennium Scales, the 'Avatar of Apophis,' and the 'Judgment of Anubis.'
"Take them. You won, so they're yours."
Snatching the cards, the young duelist slipped them in his deck, and looked over the Millennium Scales. Turning his gaze back to Terutaka, he asked, "What happened?"
".... I got blown away, that's what. I started back, and I found you unconscious on the ground. I bandaged your wounds, and took you here."
=== Egypt ===
Yugi drew his card - 'Desperate Measures.'
"I play 'Desperate Measures!!' This card reduces me to 1 Life Point, and lets me draw six cards!"
As Keiko growled angrily, Yugi looked over his hand.
"Next, I play 'Heavenly Donation!!!' This card chooses one monster on the field and creates an effect based on its attack points. Since your God of Horus is the only monster on the field and has more than 2000 attack points, I must discard two cards, recover 3000 Life Points and draw three cards."
Keiko gritted her teeth, and made a tense sound. Yugi merely smirked, and said, "I summon the Holy Elf, in defense mode! And I'll place one card. Turn end."
This time, Keiko smiled widely.
"I attack with the God of Horus.... and wipe out half your Life Points!!!"
"W-What?!"
=== New York City ===
Looking puzzled, Jonathan asked, "God.... Card?"
With a sigh, Kaori began to explain.
"God Cards are cards with enormous spiritual power, and the ability to deal direct, physical damage to the opponent even when not engaged in a Shadow Game. In my world, they were created, but have no such power.... Here, though, it seems that they do have power. Judging from the shockwaves caused by that attack, I'd say it was 'God Fist Crusher' - the God of Obelisk."
Still confused, Jonathan cocked his head.
"I don't understand.... YOUR world?"
".... ?? You.... don't come from another world?"
=== Russia ===
"Thank you, Terutaka-san."
".... Hmph. Don't thank me just yet.... I'll beat you soon, so I don't want anyone else beating you, understand?"
After speaking, Terutaka rose to his feet, and started towards the door of the hut. Flashing a quick wave, he was gone.
=== Egypt ===
Keiko laughed, leering at Yugi.
"God of Horus halves your Life Points whenever it destroys a monster in defense mode! And, it forces you to discard your hand again! Now, attack!! Inferno Rune!!!"
Flames started to crackle around the God of Horus, as it thrust its hands forward and shot out a huge blast of fire. The attack engulfed the Holy Elf completely, leaving nothing behind in its wake.
[Yugi's LP: 2000] [Keiko's LP: 4000]
"Activate!! 'Whiplash Summoning!!!'"
Just as the flames died down, the Black Magician phased onto the field, wielding its staff menacingly.
Keiko reeled. "W-What?! What did you do?!"
"'Whiplash Summoning' calls a monster from my deck to the field whenever one of my monsters is destroyed at the cost of half my Life Points. It also increases its attack strength by the power of the monster destroyed, raising 'Black Magician' to 3300 attack points! Now, counterattack, and destroy the God of Horus!!!"
A single 'Black Magic' attack blew the God of Horus to pieces, but as the smoke cleared, Keiko began to laugh again.
[Yugi's LP: 1000] [Keiko's LP: 3700]
"Activate! 'Call of Horus!!'"
The smoke swirled around the Black Magician, ensnaring it as if it was wrapped up by a rope. On the other side of the field, a man wielding a broadsword and shield and bearing a hawk's head on its armor materialized.
"This card halves your Black Magician's attack strength, and Special Summons an 'Avatar of Horus' to my field! It's over, Yugi!!"
=== Russia ===
Obelisk grinned, as a Duel Disk materialized on its hand. Terutaka fell to his knees, and screamed in horror.
