Yu-Gi-Oh!-Duel Monsters: Dark Designs
Duel Three - The Spirit Deck
"Let's Duel!" The two duelists shouted. Yami watched Zeikfried carefully. How could his opponent see his cards? He was blind! Little Yugi watched on along side his companion.
"I'm a telepath remember? I can sense the aura of my cards." Yami glared at his opponent.
"I'm holding you to your word that you won't cheat!" Yami called out. A small smile crept on Zeikfried's pale face.
"I don't need to cheat. I find it better to crush my opponents with my skill. Do you think you can stop the power of my Spirit Deck? I'll go first! Draw card!" As Zeikfried reached for the top card on his deck, a burst of wind erupted around him. Wispy figures began to encircle him as he added the sixth card to his hand.
*Spirit Deck? This doesn't sound good...* Yami gritted his teeth.
*Don't worry Yami! As long as we believe in the heart of the cards, we can't be defeated!* Yugi tried to coach his other half. Yami glanced over to his partner, who had the look of sheer determination on his face. Though he wasn't sure how this was going to turn out, he nodded so his companion would get nervous.
"I'll set one card face down" As he slid the card into the first magic and trap slot, a card materialized in front of him. "And I'll play one monster face down. I end my turn!" Another card appeared before him.
"Alright! I draw!" Yugi pulled off the card off the top of his deck. Skilled Dark Magician. not a bad draw. Its attack strength was high for a level 4 monster. Yami wanted to end this duel as fast as possible. He took a moment to see if Tea was alright. She was still being held by Snake over his shoulder. She had stopped trying to break free and was watching the duel now.
"Hey, do you think you can put me down now?! I'm not going to run away!" Tea screamed into Snake's ear. His thin eyes focused on Tea's, a sly grin forming on his face.
"Why would you wanna go down? You've got the best seat in the house!" He patted her lightly on her butt which caused Tea to blush a deep red.
"Y-you pervert! Yugi! Hurry up and beat these guys!" Yami glared at Snake, holding a clenched fist out to him.
"Don't touch her, you bastard!" Snake laughed out loud at Yami's display of anger.
"Heehee. shouldn't you be focused on you duel, Pharaoh?" Yami, full with rage, turned his eyes back onto Zeikfried. He pulled the card he'd just drawn from his deck and slammed in onto his Duel Disk.
"I summon the Skilled Dark Magician (1900/1700)!" The image of the card appeared in front of Yami. A split second after, in a shimmering light, the Robed Magician appeared out of the card, wielding a long staff. "Skilled Dark Magician! Attack his face down card! Black Magic!" The Magician twirled his staff before him, and then thrust it at the face down card. A black burst shot out of the staff and flew straight towards the card, which now revealed itself as a blue robed monk who was kneeling upon his own card. The blast crashed into the Monk, which caused it to shatter into thousands of fragments. A few moments later, the Skilled Dark Magician disappeared off the field. Yami eyes widened as he watched his monster disappear. "What has happened to my monster?!" Zeikfried smirked.
"Your Magician attacked my Mysterious Guard. Mysterious Guard's special ability allows me to return one face up monster on the field to top of the owner's deck." Yami clenched his fists tightly. In his anger, he had forgotten to examine the situation better and had thrown himself into a trap.
"I end my turn." "My turn! Draw!" Zeikfried pulled another card off his deck. After drawing his next card, he quickly pushed the first button the back of his Duel Disk, which activated his face down card. "I activate Ominous Fortunetelling!" His face down card rose up, revealing itself as a trap card. The image on the card was that of a crystal ball in the arms of a demonic figure. "This card can only be activated after I draw a card. I randomly choose one card in your hand then call monster, spell, or trap. If I call the card correctly, you will be deducted 700 life points."
Yami stared at his hand. He had two traps, two spells and one monster. As little Yugi stared at his partner's hand, his eyes widened.
"No! You have a lot of copies of the same type! It's going to be easy for him to choose correctly!" Zeikfried stretch his hand out to him.
"Now Pharaoh, I choose the third card from the right. I call spell!"
"Lucky guess. You called it correctly..." Yami could hear the chime of his life points dropping.
Yami- 3300 Zeikfried- 4000
"Now I'll activate this spell card" he pulled one card and slipped it into a card slot" Spring of Rebirth." A green colored card arose next to the trap card. The image on the card was that of a fairy perched on a fountain. "Every time a monster returns from the field to an owner's hand, the owner gains 500 life points. Now I'll summon Yata-garasu (200/100)." A small purple crow appeared out of its card and let out a sickly caw.
Yugi stared at the little bird that Zeikfried had summoned. Why would he summon such a weak monster? He knew that he was going to draw his Skilled Dark Magician next. Little Yugi spoke up to Yami.
*I think there's more to that bird than meets the eye. Be careful Yami... *
"Yata-garasu! Direct attack!" The bird launched himself at Yami, pecking at the wrist that bore his Duel Disk.
Yami- 3100 Zeikfried- 4000
"I choose to end my turn. Return Yata-garasu!" As Zeikfried picked up Yata's card, the monster disappeared and his life points rose by 500. "How can you just pick up your monster?!" Zeikfried held out the card of Yata-garasu to Yami.
"Yata-garasu is a spirit type monster. Spirits posses a very special ability. They return to the owners hand at the end of the turn they are summoned. Also, Yata- garasu has yet another ability. After he makes a direct attack, the opponent cannot draw a card from his deck."
Yami stared in disbelief as he took in Zeikfried's words. He slowly looked down at his hand. The only monster he had in his hand was a Kuriboh. How was he going to pull this off with just Kuriboh? He had to find a way to stop Yata-garasu or he would lose the duel!

Yami- 3300 Zeikfried- 4000
"Now I'll activate this spell card" he pulled one card and slipped it into a card slot" Spring of Rebirth." A green colored card arose next to the trap card.

"Yata-garasu! Direct attack!" The bird launched himself at Yami, pecking at the wrist that bore his Duel Disk.
Yami- 3100 Zeikfried- 4000
"I choose to end my turn. Return Yata-garasu!" As Zeikfried picked up Yata's card, the monster disappeared and his life points rose by 500. "How can you just pick up your monster?!" Zeikfried held out the card of Yata-garasu to Yami.
"Yata-garasu is a spirit type monster. Spirits posses a very special ability. They return to the owners hand at the end of the turn they are summoned. Also, Yata- garasu has yet another ability. After he makes a direct attack, the opponent cannot draw a card from his deck."
