Life's unexpecting turns...
(I know, I know. It's been months and months since I have posted. I'm so sorry about that, there were just so many problems. Just the usual: schoolwork, viruses, hard drive crashes, hard work, STD's... XP Okay, maybe not the last thing. But anyway, I'm able to go back to resuming this fanfic. Just catching up on it has given me so many ideas. Hope to see that you as the readers enjoy.)

Chapter VII: Change in Plans...
The Roof of Kaiba Corporation... At such high elevation, a fog appeared cloaking the roof of Kaiba Corporation. With the one sound of an engine starting, the helicopter propellers begin to spin, clearing the fog as it collects in the small cyclone formed over the propellers. A shiny metal electric door slides open, as Seto Kaiba walks out of it, wearing his usual black clothes cloaked by his white trenchcoat. He jumps into the helicopter, sliding the doors as it locks into place. He presses a button on the collar of his trenchcoat, signaling his departure. "Mokuba, I'm heading over there now. Keep watching the duel, telling me what goes on. This I got to see in person." In mere seconds, the helicopter lifts up into the air and departing as it breaks through the thick fog.
Back at the bridge... The smoke clears from Jounouchi's side, as he is barely able to stand, his legs bent a little and loosely able to hold onto the cards in his hand. He looks up at his friend having an evil smirk on his face. "Just stop this now before anyone gets hurt. This is too far; you've always said that for bad situations. Why risk our lives in this game?" Yuugi narrows his eyes, staring at Jou though his red blanketed eyes. "This is the perfect way to settle our situation. If you win, you can stay with her and I'll perish forever. I win and you're gone for good. Both of us can't stay here. Let's finish this duel! First card up is Monster Reborn to bring back Dark Magician." As the card is shown, it breaks away as the wizard appears back onto the field, staring at Jou with its darkened eyes from Orichalcos. "Now, Jounouchi, this is the end for you. I play the magic card Dedication through Light and Darkness!" As the card gets played, a hexagram appears under the Dark Magician as he disappears. Jounouchi stands up straight, raising a brow. "What's the point of doing that? Your Dark Magician is strong enough." Yuugi laughs maniacally. "The point of this is with this card I can bring out a special card from my deck and bring it right onto the field. Now, meet Dark Magician of Chaos!" Smoke rises slowly over the hexagram, then the new monster appears over the sign crouching. The monster stands up, holding tightly to its staff as the dark power flows through him. "The game ends here! Dark Magician of Chaos, attack and get rid of him now!"
Anzu continues to swim forward as fast as she can, while thinking to herself about everything. "What is with all this happening? I just want everything to go back to normal. I wish I wasn't so depressed. That way I would have never caused problems, enraging Yuugi and having Jounouchi fall in love with me." She continues to swim forward getting closer. "Wait. It looks like Yuugi... And Jounouchi... And they both have duel disks on! Does that mean they're dueling? I hope I don't get there too late..." She swims gradually and then sees a monster running forward toward the slightly weak Jounouchi. Her eyes widen, shaking afraid of seeing him get hurt. "NO, JOUNOUCHI!!!"
As the monster runs and charges to attack, Jounouchi barely listens to Anzu's cry. He gives a little smile before he pressed a button on his disk. "Activate facedown card, Fairy Box!" A small whacking machine appears in front of him. "If this card works right, I have a 50% chance of getting full damage and another 50% of receiving 0 damage from your monster." Yuugi, Anzu, and Honda look widely at the monster waiting to see what happens. Just as the Dark Magician of Chaos jumps over the box, it emits a light on Dark Magician of Chaos. After the light stops, the monster continues forward and slashes Jounouchi across his chest. At that split second, Honda looks down away from that scene, Yuugi's mouth curls up to a smile waiting for his victory to be claimed, and Anzu gasps as her hands make way to cover her mouth and tears starting to run down her face. Time passes by as Jounouchi stands there frozen, his mouth not moving, his fingers not even able to be raised. Yuugi raises his fist in the air. "Hah, the game is over! I wi— WHA!?" Jounouchi smirks and laughs a little bit as he straightens himself up. "Nope, this game is not over. Fairy Box went into my favor!" Yuugi's jaw drops open, amazed how he's still standing.
Back at the roof, the two suits get tired of watching this game. One cocks the gun, ready to shoot him. "Heh, this guy is going to lose anyway, might as well free time and get rid of you now!" Honda closes his eyes, ready for the bullet to impact his head, but all he manages to hear are lights turning on. The two suits turn around, as bright white lights shine on them. From the external speakers Kaiba voice is projected to the two. "Hey, you freaks. Let go of the punk and get the hell out of my sight now!" Honda's head slumps down after listening to Kaiba's encouraging words. "Jeez, I'm not Jounouchi, you rich-ass bitch."
Wiping her tears away, Anzu smiles a little as he sees him just fine. After a matter of seconds her eyes narrow tightly, glaring at Yuugi for how he's acting. "I hate to do this, but I need to teach that big baby a lesson." She swims against the ocean's cold currents, heading to a small ladder against the cement bridge to climb up.
Yuugi growls a little, clenching his fist after seeing his failed attempt to claim victory. "Heh, that's no problem there. I set two cards facedown and end my turn." Jounouchi draws one card, looking at it as he laughs a little. "Now it's my turn. I play Offerings to the Doomed and removed that pathetic Dark Magician of Chaos from the game!" Bandages wrap around the monster and squeezing tightly. Immedietly a card flips over from Yuugi's side of the field as Yuugi raises his head. "If you think I'm letting you get away with destroying my monster easily, you're wrong and it's time to pay the price. Activate Curse of Darkness!" As Dark Magician of Chaos gets destroyed, a green sphere forms around Jounouchi. "What's the point of this damn sphere?" Crossing his arms, Yuugi smiles a little as he looks onto Jounouchi. "Heh, surprised? Now every time whoever plays a magic card they lose 1000 life points, so feel the wrath of my card!" Immedietly inside the sphere electricity jumps bounces around the sphere, shocking Jounouchi like crazy. Yelling out for help, Jounouchi falls to his knees, putting his arms around himself trying to gather his energy to stand up. "Why, you... I'll never lose this game to you! Once I am able to remove that card, that won't worry me at all." Yuugi points to the card. "Better make sure it isn't a magic card, though. Thanks to my trap card you now have 500 life points. If you trigger this effect once more this game is over for you." Jounouchi looks to his hand, sighing from frustration. ["Great, now I can't even use my Mystical Space Typhoon card. All I have is a couple of cards in my hand, and not one of them can safely remove that card without me getting hurt. There's nothing much to do then."] He sets down a card on the slot. "I set one monster in facedown defense." Immedietly another card flips over from Yuugi's side of the field. "Maybe you should check on that. Acid Trap Hole, activate. Now if your monster has less than 2000 defense it's destroyed." Jounouchi nods sadly, watching the card get removed from the field. "Fuck, it was. Oh, well. I should thank you since I can play Mystical Space Typhoon at your Curse of Darkness!" Yuugi blinks then laughs like crazy, holding his stomach to try to remain stable. "You're so suicidal! Curse of Darkness, finish him off!" The sphere forms around Jounouchi again, electrocuting him once again. Immediately the card gets swept off the field. "NANI!? How come you're still alive with 500 life points!?" Jounouchi thinks to himself for a moment. ["Great, now I can finally say this to him!'] He clears his throat for a moment, then speaks loudly. "Let me explain this in words that even you can understand! The facedown monster you destroyed goes by the name Skull-Marked Ladybug. When it gets destroyed, I gain 1000 life points! That cancels out with the Curse of Darkness card you just used at me right now, keeping me at 500 life points!" Just at hearing that, Yuugi's eyes open quite largely, not believing how Jounouchi was able to stop the card. Jounouchi rakes his fingers through his wheat blond locks of hair, making a small pose. "And this turn isn't over yet. First up, I use Cost Down! And next, I play Double Spell! Both require for me to discard one card from my hand each, so I'll just get rid of these." Taking two cards from his hand, he places them in his graveyard slot. "Now that I have that settled, I'll use Monster Reborn to bring back your Dark Magician." In a blast of smoke, Dark Magician appears again, this time on the side opposite Yuugi. At that same moment, it disappears quickly. "And then I'll sacrifice it to summon the greatest creature of mine, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" From the skies above, a loud dragon cry is heard as a massive creature comes flying down towards the two. The large black dragon comes to a halt, just a few feet from the ground, flapping its mighty wings. Landing down, it stares at Yuugi with fierce fire-red eyes.
Gripping onto the bars, Anzu slowly heads up the ladder, trying not to slip as she is soaking wet from the swimming. Feeling the rumble of the dragon landing, she stops as her eyes are wide open. "Oooookay, what was that?" She leans her body back, as she catches a glimpse of the left wing of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon ahead of her. "NOT GOOD!" She races up the long winding ladder as fast as she can.
Yuugi immedietly takes a few steps back, holding on tightly to the cards in his hand. "Impossible! Didn't you just break a couple of rules there!?" Jounouchi keeps his cool and smirks, shaking his head. "It seems you didn't double-check those cards I just played. Double Spell lets me take a magic card from your graveyard and play it as my own. And Cost Down lowers the levels of my monsters in my hand by two. So, Monster Reborn and my level 5 Red-Eyes are okay there." Yuugi stops walking back, slowly his eyes traveling up as he meets up close the fierce dragon. "This can't be..." The dragon opens its mouth, charging up a large fireball by its mouth. Jounouchi stares straight at Yuugi, his eyes hard and strong. "You try to play with fire, you'll get burned. Red-Eyes Black Dragon, wipe out his points and give him what he deserves!" At just finishing those words, the dragon releases a massive fireball flying at Yuugi with incredible speed. In just moments, a loud blast is heard followed by a tremendous rumble. The whole place cloaks itself in smoke and dirt, no one being able to see Yuugi's side of the playing field...
(I apologize for not going into depth on character's cards and decks for all you TCG fans out there. And for those of you that just wish to skip the duel, don't worry this duel is slamming its brakes heading to a halt. Again, I'm not one that writes so many fanfictions, so if this sucks yes I understand. Anywho, please comment.)
