The Arrival of the Elites

Cheri's monster appeared on the field.

"And now I give up 1000 life points to summon the Fire Princess (1300/1500) and Fireyarou (1300/1000) in attack mode. But I'll sacrifice them both to destroy both of Julie's monsters"

Both of Julie's monsters were burnt to a crisp

"Flame Champion attack!"

Cheri's life points were on 2150 and Julie was struck head on, dropping her life points to 1600. Balfour drew his card

"I summon the Mad Dog of Darkness (1900/1400). Attack Julie's life points now!"

Julie was knocked off her feet and her life points dropped to 0. Julie walked off as Matt drew his card. Balfour's life points increased to 2600.

"I will use my Empress Mantis to destroy Balfour's Mad Dog!"

Balfour's monster was about to be attacked but both of Matt's monsters were destroyed and Matt's life points dropped to 1000. Cheri had a face up card

"Blast Held by Tribute. When you declare an attack with a monster that was tribute summoned, I can destroy all your monsters on the field"

Matt was furious. Balfour wasn't happy

"You took out my life point increaser!"

"You can finish him now"

Balfour drew his card

"I summon La Jinn (1800/1000) in attack mode. Mad Dog, finish Matt off!"

Matt was bitten and his life points hit 0. Matt walked off the field

The crowds began to count

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1"

Kaiba walked down the aisle and he drew his cards

"I summon the Kaiser Sea Horse (1700/1600) in attack mode and I place two cards face down"

Kaiba smiled as Cheri drew her card

"I summon the UFO Turtle (1400/1200) in defence mode and I activate my Eye of Fire to pay 500 life points to summon Great Angus (1800/1600) in attack mode"

Cheri's life points were on 1650. Balfour was on 2600 and Kaiba was on 4000. Balfour smiled

"I now activate my face down card, the Curse of the Masked Beast. I sacrifice my monsters to summon the Masked Beast! (3200/1800)"

A huge monster appeared on the field. Balfour smiled

"Destroy the Great Angus!"

Cheri's monster was destroyed and her life points dropped 850. Kaiba drew his card

"Perfect. I now sacrifice my Kaiser Sea Horse to summon the Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)"

Kaiba's monster roared as it appeared on the field

"Attack Cheri's UFO Turtle!"

Cheri's monster was blasted to pieces. The crowds began to count

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1"

Sean Shevlin walked down the field. Sean drew his cards

"I summon the Skilled White Magician (1700/1900) in attack mode and two cards face down."

Cheri drew her card

"I place my monster into defence mode and end my turn"

Balfour drew his card

"I play Monster Reborn to summon Drillago (1600/1100) in attack mode. Attack Cheri's life points!"

Cheri was knocked onto her back and her life points hit 0. She walked off the field as Kaiba made his move

"I place one monster in defence mode. Attack Blue Eyes, destroy Sean's White Magician!"

Kaiba's attack was about to hit home when it was deflected. It came right back at Kaiba but Kaiba pulled a face down card up.

"Negate attack!"

The attack was blocked and Kaiba smiled.

"I place one more card face down to end my turn"

Sean drew his card as his Skilled Magician gained two spell counters.

"I activate the Emblem of Dragon Destroyer to place my Buster Blader into my hand"

A third spell counter appeared on his monster

"And now. I sacrifice my monster and my spell counters to summon the Buster Blader! (2600/2300)"

Sean laughed and Kaiba wasn't happy

"Buster Blader attack!"

Sean's monster attacked but something wrapped around its neck

"What?"

Kaiba laughed

"My Ring of Destruction. It will destroy your monster and give us both 3100 damage, but not if I activate my other card, Ring of Defence"

Sean flipped a card quickly as his monster was destroyed. Kaiba laughed but Balfour's life points dropped to 0

"What?"

Everyone looked at Balfour but Sean smiled

"Graverobber. I used it to take Balfour's Spell of Hate and I transferred the life point damage to him"

Balfour was seething as he walked off. The crowds began to count

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1"

Darren Coey walked down the field and the crowds cheered. He drew his cards

"I place one monster in defence mode and one card face down"

"I sacrifice my monster to summon Yamadron (1600/1800) in attack mode and one card face down. Yamadron attack Sean's face down monster!"

Sean's monster appeared

"Cyber Jar! (900/900)"

All the monsters on the field were destroyed

"Each player must draw five cards and summon any monsters you can"

Sean summoned Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600/1000) in attack mode and three face down monsters. Kaiba summoned La Jinn (1800/1000) and Vampire Orchis (1700/1000) in attack mode. Darren summoned Robotic Knight (1600/1800) and two monsters face down in defence mode. Kaiba drew his card

"La Jinn attack Darren's Robotic Knight!"

Kaiba's monster easily wiped out Darren's monster and his life points dropped to 3800

"And now, Vampire Orchis attack his face down monster!"

Kaiba's monster destroyed Darren's monster and it was the Fire Sorceress (1000/1500)

"And now Kaiba. I remove my two top cards to inflict 800 points of damage to your life points!"

Kaiba was struck by some balls of fire from the sky and his life points dropped to 3200. Darren was on 3800 and Sean was on 1000. The crowds began to count

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1"

Andrew walked down the aisle and he drew his cards. Sean drew his card

"I summon the Airknight Parsath (1900/1400) by sacrificing my face down card, Magician of Faith (300/400). I can bring back a Magic card from my graveyard to my hand, Emblem of the Dragon Destroyer. I'll activate it and place my Buster Blader back into my hand. And one card face down. Airknight attack Darren's face down card!"

Darren's monster was sliced down and his life points dropped to 3400

"Breaker, attack his life points!"

Darren was hit directly and his life points dropped 1500.

"You'll pay for that Sean!"

"But I place one more card face down"

Darren drew his card

"I will now use the special ability of my UFO Turtle (1400/1200) to summon Dragon Piper (200/1800) in defence mode. Then I remove one monster from my graveyard to summon Inferno (1100/1900) in attack mode. And now I sacrifice them both to summon the Tyrant Dragon (2900/2500) in attack mode!"

Darren's strongest monster roared as it appeared on the field. Sean smiled

"Then I place one card face down. Attack Sean's monster now!"

Sean was about to be hit when the attack went into one cylinder and it fired straight back at Darren's monster

"Say goodnight"

Darren smiled and he revealed his face down card.

"Negate attack!"

Andrew sighed and he drew his card

"I summon the Goblin Attack Force (2300/0) in attack mode and one card face down. Attack Kaiba's Vampire Orchis!"

Kaiba's monster was destroyed and his life points dropped to 2600 but Andrew's monster was placed into defence mode. Kaiba drew his card

"I sacrifice my La Jinn to summon Kaiser Glider (2400/2200) in attack mode. And one card face down. Attack Andrew's monster!"

Kaiba's monster fired its attack but it went into one cylinder and straight back out but it changed direction to Darren's Tyrant Dragon. It was hit but it did nothing and Kaiba's life points dropped to 2300. Sean had a card face up

"Shift card"

Sean smiled as he drew his card

"And now I sacrifice my monsters to summon the Buster Blader (2600/2300) in attack mode! Attack Darren's monster!"

Sean's monster was about to attack when it became wrapped up in chains

"What?"

Kaiba had a card face up

"Shadow Spell. It stops one monster from attacking and reduces it attack by 700."

Sean looked at Kaiba

"Two cards face down and I'll place my other monsters in defence mode"

Darren drew his card

"I summon Blazing Inpachi (1850/0) in attack mode"

But Darren's monster fell into a deep hole. Andrew had a card face up

"Trap hole!"

Darren was angry

"Tyrant Dragon, attack Andrew now!"

Andrew's monster was wiped out. Andrew then drew his card

"I summon Freed the Brave Wanderer (1700/1200) in attack mode and I'll equip him with Axe of Despair. Then I activate Double Up to double the effects of the Axe of Despair, making my monster 3700 attack points strong"

"Uh oh!"

"One card face down. Attack Sean's Buster Blader!"

Sean's monster was about the be hit when Andrew's monster attack points dropped

"What!"

Sean's Buster Blader then destroyed Andrew's monster and his life points dropped to 2100. Sean had two cards face up

"Trap Jammer destroyed the Shadow Spell. Magic Jammer took out the Axe of Despair"

Sean was on 1000 still, Darren was on 1500, Andrew was on 2100 and Kaiba had 2300. Kaiba drew his card and he saw Andrew was defenceless

"Kaiser Glider attack now!"

Andrew was knocked off his feet and his life points dropped to 900.

"What?"

Andrew showed a card

"Chop block. Halves any direct damage I get"

Sean drew his card

"Buster Blader, attack Kaiba's Kaiser Glider now!"

Kaiba's monster was wiped out and his life points dropped to 1100 but the Buster Blader vanished from the field

"What?"

Kaiba smiled

"It's the special ability of my monster. Once destroyed it can return one card on the field to the owners hand"

Darren drew his card

"Darkfire Soldier (1700/1000) in attack mode. Tyrant Dragon, finish off Kaiba!"

Kaiba was hit with a blast of fire and his life points dropped to 0

"Darkfire Soldier, destroy Sean's Airknight!"

Sean's monster was destroyed and Andrew drew his card

"I summon Skull Mariner (1600/900) in attack mode. Then I activate Attack and Receive and since I have another one in my deck it will inflict 1000 points of damage to one player of my choice. I choose Sean"

Sean's life points dropped to 0. Kaiba and Sean walked off the field. The crowds began to count

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1"

David K walked down the aisle and he stood on the field. David K drew his card

"I activate the field card, A Legendary Ocean!"

The field became flooded with water

"And I summon the 7 Coloured Fish (1800/800) in attack mode and thanks to my field card its now 400 points stronger. I'll also place a card face down. Attack Darren's Darkfire Soldier!"

Darren's monster taken out and his life points dropped to 500. Darren drew his card

"I summon Little Chimera (600/550) in defence mode. It negates the increase and decrease of your field card. Tyrant Dragon, take him out!"

David K was hit and his life points dropped to 2900. Andrew drew his card

"Skull Mariner. Attack David's life points!"

David was hit directly and his life points dropped to 1300. He drew his card

"I now activate Return of the Doomed to return my 7 Coloured Fish. Then I sacrifice it to summon Suijin! (2500/2400)"

"Oh great, now what!"

"Destroy Little Chimera!"

Darren's monster was wiped out and Suijin's attack points increased to 2900 and Darren's Tyrant Dragon was decreased to 2500. Darren drew his card

"I place one card face down and end my turn"

Andrew looked up

"I summon a monster in defence mode by sacrificing my monster on the field"

The crowds began to count

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1"

Michael walked down the aisle and the crowds cheered. He drew his cards and David took his turn

"I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400/1700) in attack mode and I play Raregold Armour to my Suijin so you can only attack my monster"

"Some one, stop him!"

Michael drew his card

"One monster in defence mode and one card face down"

Darren drew his card

"I now activate my face down card, Emperor's Holiday to negate your Raregold Armour. But I'll attack Andrew's face down monster!"

Darren's monster attacked but it was blocked and Darren's life points dropped to 0

"What?"

The Millennium shield (0/3000) appeared

"Sorry Darren. Your own fault"

Darren walked off the field. Andrew drew his card

"I play Monster Reborn to summon Freed the Brave Wanderer (1700/1200), then I sacrifice them both to summon the Sword Hunter (2450/1700) in attack mode. Then I equip him with the Lightening Blade to increase his power to 3250. Attack Suijin!"

Andrew's monster attacked and destroyed David's Suijin and his life points dropped to 450. David drew his card

"I activate Return of the Doomed to revive my Suijin! And I place a monster in defence mode. Then I activate a Hero Emerges"

David held up his hand and Andrew looked up.

"Middle card"

"This one?"

Andrew wasn't sure and he reconsidered

"Ok the far left"

David smiled and he placed his monster down. It was Sanga of Thunder (2600/2200)

"No!"

Michael looked at Andrew

"You idiot!"

Andrew smiled

"Remember who holds the power on this field"

"Sanga, attack Michael's monster!"

Michael's monster was wiped out but he flipped up a face down card

"Last Will. I can now summon a monster to the field in face down defence mode"

Michael drew again

"I now play the Fiend Megacyber (2200/1200) in attack mode."

Andrew drew his card

"You've lost it Michael. Sword Hunter attack!"

Michael's monster was sliced down and his life points dropped to 2750. He smiled as David drew his card

"I end my turn"

Michael then drew his card

"Big mistake. I now flip my Jowls of Dark Demise! (200/100) "

"No!"

David's Sanga of Thunder came to Michael

"Attack his life points now!"

David's life points were wiped out and they dropped to 0. He walked off the field. The crowds began to count

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1"

David Semple walked down the aisle and he took his place on the field. Andrew narrowed his eyes at him. Semple drew his cards

"I summon Sonic Maid (1400/900) in attack mode"

Michael saw his monster

"Oh shit"

"Attack Michael's Jowels of Dark Demise!"

Michael's monster was taken out and his life points dropped to 1750

"Damn you!"

Semple smiled

"And I play Eternal Rest to destroy Andrew's monster"

Andrew was seething as he drew his card

"I summon the Blindly Loyal Goblin (1800/1500) in attack mode and I'll equip him with the Fusion Sword Murasame Blade to increase my monsters attack points by 800 making him 2600. Destroy his Sonic Maid!"

"And its my turn now Dave. I place one card face down. I attack directly with my Fiend Megacyber!"

Dave was hit off his feet and his life points dropped to 400

"That does it!"

Andrew smiled

"Bring it on!"

"I activate Jam Defender and I summon Revival Jam (1500/500)"

"Shit. No getting to him now"

Andrew smiled. Semple looked at Andrew

"I activate Big Bang Shot"

"No!"

Semple, you are finished. Blindly Loyal Goblin, attack!"

Semple's monster was destroyed but his life points dropped to 0. Semple walked off and Michael drew his card

"I must say Andrew, you've done well. But not good enough cause I summon the Dark Jeroid (1200/1500) in attack mode"

Andrew's monster was decreased to 2200

"And I activate United We stand to increase my Megacyber's attack power to 3800. Attack his Loyal Goblin!"

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1"

Maria walked down the aisle. Michael smiled as he thought to himself

'I wonder how long she will last against me'

Maria drew her cards

"I summon the Wolf Axwielder (1650/1000) in defence mode and two cards face down"

Michael drew his card

"I summon the Giant Orc (2200/0) in attack mode. I'll finish you quickly"

"Hold on. I activate Magic Jammer on your United we stand!"

Michael's card vanished

"It doesn't matter I can still finish you off. Dark Jeroid, attack!"

Michael's monster blasted Maria's monster to pieces

"Giant Orc, Fiend Megacyber attack now!"

Maria was hit and her life points dropped to 0. Maria walked off as the crowds began to count

"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1"

"It's about time"

"I summon monster in defence mode and one card face down"

Michael drew his card

"One monster in defence mode. Fiend Megacyber attack!"

Michael's monster attacked but it was blocked and Michael's Megacyber and his Jeroid were destroyed

"What?"

"Mirror force!"

Michael's life points dropped to 750 and he was seething

"That won't go unpunished"

Yugi smiled

"And I now sacrifice my monster to summon the Dark Magician girl (2000/1700) in attack mode. Destroy Michael's face down monster!"

The Dark Magician girl attacked but nothing happened. Michael smiled

"The Earthbound spirit. (500/2000) That attack and defence of these monsters are equal. And now that's it my turn I'll show you how to destroy a monster. I sacrifice both my monsters to summon the Red Eyes Black Dragon! (2400/2000)"

Michael's monster roared and he laughed

"And I am not finished yet. I activate Metalmorph to make my Red Eyes into the Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon (2800/2400). Destroy his Dark Magician girl!"

Michael's monster wiped out Yugi's monster and his life points dropped to 3200. Yugi drew his card

"Heart of the cards, guide me"
