Chapter 12: Misha's Gambit (Part 2)

Yugi looked at Misha, there was something familiar about this person…but what? Misha started giving an impatient look and said, "Come on we haven't got all day you know, если бы я знал, что он собирался брать это, долго я принес бы газету или кое-что, чтобы читать." Pegasus then looked at Misha and said, "Patients Misha boy, that at this moment would be a virtue." Misha just gave an slightly irritated look and grumbled, "Я покажу Вам, куда я поместил бы ваши достоинства ... Вы старая ворона."

Yugi looked confused at what Misha had just said, Misha looked at Yugi and said, "Oh, that's right…you don't speak Russian do you? Then I'll try to stick to English if possible, have you decided your move yet…or will you pass this turn?" Yugi looked at his hand and said, "I'll play a monster in defense mode…and that ends my turn."

Misha looked rather amused by this, it almost seemed as if he'd been expecting Yugi to play a card in defense mode. Misha just gave Yugi a look of 'what a pity' and said, "What a shame, you didn't attack me when you had the chance…for now I play my Карта ГИБЕЛИ! Or for those who can't speak Russian my Card of DOOM! I play Dark Magician Girl in attack mode!" Yugi with a shocked look on his face said, "I didn't know you had that card!" Misha smirked and said, "Well I'm just full of surprises…and I think you know that Dark Magician Girl gets a 300 attack point boost for every Dark Magician in the Card Graveyard. Which boosts its attack strength to 2300, and I believe I'll have her attack your defense monster." Just then Misha's Dark Magician Girl attacked and destroyed Yugi's Giant Soldier of Stone. It was Yugi's turn, he drew his next card…and then a smile came on his face, Misha looked puzzled and asked: "Vhat are you smiling about? Vhat is so humorous to you?" Yugi looked at him and replied, "Cause I have a card combination that may end this duel rather quickly, first I play the magic card Makiu, the Magical Mist. Then I play Summon Skull in attack mode and I'll have him attack your Dark Magician Girl."

Misha gave out a half hearted laugh and said, "Is that it…you're going to inflict 200 Life Point damage on me, you're pathetic Mr. Moto." Yugi then said, "Oh I'm doing a lot more damage than that Misha, look closer." Misha then looked at the field and then saw what Yugi was talking about and in a rather scared voice said, "The mist…it's everywhere, and my Dark Magician Girl is soaked…and since Summon Skull uses electrical attacks (gasp)?!" Misha could only watch as his Dark Magician Girl was destroyed and his Life Points went down from 2000 to 800.

"Wait a go Yugi…show that Misha who the real duelist is!" Joey cheered, so all of Yugi's friends started cheering for him. Misha was hearing this, a vein on his forehead started to pulsate. Finally Misha was so irritated with them that he whipped his head around to look at the balcony and in a furious voice shouted, "SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP! HE HASN'T WON YET I STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN, THIS DUEL ISN'T OVER YET!!!"

Tristen then shouted out, "Doesn't look like it from where we're standing!" All the others (Excluding Misha, Yugi, and Pegasus) started to laugh, Misha then felt a surge of anger rush to his bracelet, he then thrust his arm out in Tristen's direction, and from the bracelet came a sphere of red light. The sphere hit Tristen squarely in the chest and disappeared into the wind, and hit him with such force that he was flat on the ground in a few seconds. Tèa, Joey, and Bakura all looked down at Tristen, then back at Misha. With a crazed look in his eyes Misha yelled: "ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY SMART ANSWERS!?" They remained silent, Misha then seemed to simmer down a bit and said, "Это хорошо…That's good," he then turned back to Yugi and continued, "Now where were we? Oh that's right…It's my turn." Misha drew a card and said, "Looks like this game just got a bit interesting, I play Barrel Dragon in attack mode…I also use it's special ability, here's the coin…now let's see if luck is on your side Mr. Moto…or against you." Misha flipped the coin, it landed on Tails…Misha flipped the coin again, it landed on Heads this time. Misha prepared to flip the coin one more time; they all watched it flip in midair. Misha shut his eyes…he didn't want to look, when he heard the ping and the sound of it falling to one side. Misha opened his eyes and looked at it…it was Heads, he then used the ability to destroy Yugi's Summon Skull, and to top it off Misha played Final Flame, the score now being 800 to 700.

Misha's head was looking down, but suddenly there came a muffled noise from him that Yugi thought that Misha was crying…but when Misha brought his head back up Yugi saw that Misha was laughing, that crazed look still in his eyes. Misha said, "I can't lose…I won't lose, not to the likes of a duelist like you…I will defeat you even if it kills me!"

Yugi played Swords of Revealing Light, which would keep Misha from attacking for 3 turns. Misha just passed his turns as Yugi and him drew their cards, on the last turn before the swords wore off, Yugi played three cards down. Misha said, "Is that it? Is that all you got…alright then, my turn. Barrel Dragon attack his dear guardian!" But Yugi countered with Spell-Binding Circle, and on his turn he played Monster Reborn and brought back Misha's Dark Magician Girl, and to top it off he also played Book of the Secret Arts. Which boosted her attack strength to 2600, at this point it's pretty fair to say that Misha lost.

Misha just stood there dumbfounded, then with a furious look in his eyes picked up his cards and stomped out of the arena.

Later that day Yugi returned to his room to find a card and letter on his bed, he looked at the card and saw it was Misha's Dark Magician Girl! Then he looked at the letter, it read:

Dear Yugi,

Эта карта, которую я даю Вам из моей собственной доброй воли ..., берет хорошую заботу(осторожность) об этом, или иначе!

In translation: This card I give to you out of my own free will...take good care of it, or else!

Sincerely,

Misha

Yugi knew in his heart that he hadn't seen the last of Misha, he knew in his heart that they'd meet again…but why did Yugi suddenly get the feeling that there was more to that bracelet of Misha's than met the eye? He decided he'd figure that out later, he match with Pegasus was up next.
