DSlifer: The tournament starts today! Oh that reminds me, guess who has the other Millennium Items. I'm going to start adding cliffhangers from now on. Makes the story more interesting right? Also this chapter will feature 2 people with their personality changed.
Chapter 7: The God Cards and the Millennium Rod Unleashed
"I, Magnum Pegasus, congratulate all duelists who had completed the Preliminary Matches and earned the right to participate in my tournament. As soon as I have finished my speech, all of you, my fellow duelists can start dueling. I have hired a couple of skilled duelists to act as Eliminators in this tournament. They will duel any person they find in possession of at least 50 Points. You may choose to duel against them when challenged, but let me warn you now. If they win against you, you will lose all your Point Counters, and are out of the tournament. But if you win, they shall give you the exact number of Point Counters that you already have. That means that if you have 50 Points they shall give you 50 back, automatically giving you a right to be a finalist. And any counters that you have over 10, you may trade them for rare cards from the Eliminators. All Eliminators will be wearing the special version of the Duel Disk. Now let the Tournament start!" announced the Host of the Tournament.
Yan watched, as he saw the duelists scatter and challenge whoever they can. Yan asked Astana and Mike to go with him and duel people.
"Not yet, Yan, I'm going to duel against some people on my own. I'll find you back when I get 30 Points. I'm going to surprise you later," answered Astana.
"I'll go on my own also. There's something I have to take care of. See you later, you two," said Mike.
The 3 friends split up and walked by themselves toward their targets. But Mike had something else planned.
----------------------------------------------------------
Mike went into a dark alley, and tooked out his Millennium Rod. He had inherited this Millennium Item a few days ago from his father. He was told that the Rod was a family heirloom and had ancient magic, and was told to use it wisely.
Mike was told the story about his family and the Millennium Items. Mike hadn't believed this story until one day, he had somehow activated his Millennium Rod and had a talk with the Spirit of the Millennium Rod.
Lately, Mike had become possessed by the spirit and done things, like taking control of a person's mind and had him do what ever he wanted. Strangely though, Mike had realized that he liked having all this power and control, and wanted more of it. He no longer acted like his old jolly self, but as a madman lusting for power... power only the Millennium Items could grant to him.
"Spirit! I want more power, give me more!" yelled Mike as he held his Millennium Rod in front of him.
Mike heard a voice in his head laughing evilly. "If you want more power, than surrender yourself to me! I will be sure that you will obtain unlimited power!"
"Yes, give me power." Mike ducked his head and when he raised it back up again, he had a more sinister look on his face.
----------------------------------------------------------
Yan walked around the city, desperately searching for someone who would duel him. Everywhere he looked he saw duelists dueling, but none who looked to be almost done or already finished.
"Hey kid, you want to duel? I need to duel someone harder," said a man of about 30.
"Uh, sure, what's your name?" asked Yan.
"Tom, and don't forget if I win I get your Resurrected Demon (2900/1500) and your Sacred Temple of Light."
"I thought it was Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning (3000/2500) instead of Resurrected Demon," said Yan confused.
"You fool; you used a card that was never heard about and one of a kind too. So of course it'll be rarer than your Black Luster Soldier."
"You remind me of that store owner who owns this Game Shop." Yan described the shop to Tom and Tom laughed saying that he was his brother. "So if I win, what will I get?"
"You'll get my Chaos Emperor Dragon-Envoy of the End (3000/2500) and my Second Chance cards."
"So you have a Light and Dark Deck too?"
"Yes, that's another reason why I want to duel against you. To truly be sure my deck is good, I have to face someone with a similar deck."
"In that case why don't we increase the ante? If you win, you get my whole deck and the 10 point counter. If I win, I get your two rarest cards and both of your 10 Point Counters."
"Sounds like a good deal to me. Prepare to lose, kid."
Yan and Tom set up their Dueling Recorders and Tom was decided upon to go first. "I'll activate my Second Chance card. I get to have an extra summon after I pay 1000 Life Points. So I'll summon my Sangan (1000/1000) and tribute it for my Summoned Skull (2500/1200). This activates my Sangan's effect and I use it to put Thunder Nyan Nyan (1900/800) into my hand. Next I set 2 cards facedown and end my turn."
Yan was getting excited at facing a deck so similar to his. All most all the cards he used were in his deck. Yan draws a card and summoned Royal Magic Library (0/2000) in attack mode. Then he played Graceful Charity and drew 3 cards then discarded two of his Forgiving Maidens (850/2000). "I set this card and end my turn."
Tom looked surprised that he would play a 0 Attack monster in Attack Mode and decided that he must have a good trap card facedown. "I set this monster and also summon Vorse Raider (1900/1200). Now to get rid of your trap card, I play Mystical Space Typhoon!"
"That's nice but I activate it first. Reveal facedown card, Shield and Sword! You just wasted a good card and helped my in the end. Would you still attack? My monster has 2000 Attack Points and yours just have 1200."
"Not bad, kid. Very interesting move you played, you fooled me easily too. I'll end my turn."
(Yan: 8000 Life Points/Tom: 7000 Life Points)
Yan draws his card and laughs. "Good! I play the card Mimic. I use it to copy your Second Chance card. Now after paying 1000 Life Points I activate its effect and summon Thunder Nyan Nyan. I activate my Royal Magic Library's special effect and draw a card."
"It won't help you at all since I have the card I need to win in my hand."
"Are you sure? This card will make all the difference. I'll set it and set these 2 cards."
"Pathetic, you forgot to switch your Royal Magic Library into defense mode. So now, Summoned Skull, attack his Magic Library."
Yan happily laughed as he discarded one card from his hand to the graveyard. "Thank you! I needed my library as bait. I discard my Kuribo (300/200) to stop the damage I'd take."
"You're good, kid, you're good. But I set this one monster facedown and end my turn."
"Now I remove my Kuribo and a Forgiving Maiden out of play to special summon out my Black Luster Soldier. That sends my Thunder Nyan Nyan to the graveyard. I then set these 2 monsters facedown. Black Luster Soldier attack his Summoned Skull and his facedown monster."
"Not bad, but unlucky for you, you attacked the wrong facedown monster. I flip my facedown monster to reveal Cyber Jar (900/900). Now all the monsters are destroyed." Yan quickly activates his facedown card. "That card won't help you!" yelled Tom, as a black hole appeared over the field and sucked in all the monsters. "Now we each summon our monsters that are Level 4 and lower. I summon Witch of the Black Forest (1100/1200) and Mask of Darkness (900/900)."
"I summon in Sangan and also Heaven's Barrier (0/2800) in defense mode."
"I then summon Thunder Nyan Nyan and have it sent to the graveyard because of its own effect. Next I will special summon Chaos Emperor Dragon-Envoy of the End. I'll activate its effect and send all cards to the graveyard. That's 16 cards and you take 300 for each one. Because of with of the Black Forest's Effect, I get a monster and I get my Vorse Raider and you get..."
"I'll get my Ditto (0/0)" Yan said calmly.
"Now I summon my Vorse Raider and have it attack you."
(Yan: 300 Life Points/Tom: 6500 Life Points)
Yan calmly said, "Chaos Emperor Dragon's a very powerful card, and I'm sure it'll make a very good edition to my deck."
"That's where you're wrong. Your going to lose next turn."
"Wrong it's going to end this turn. Now I get my Black Luster Soldier back."
"How? My Cyber Jar destroyed it!"
"Remember the card I activated and you said it won't work? That card was Dimension Hole. It removed my monster out of play for one turn. While your Cyber Jar was sucking all the monsters through a black hole, you failed to see that there was another black hole that only affected my Black Luster Soldier." Yan smiled savagely. "Remember how much you wanted my Resurrected Demon? Now I'll create a team of monster's that you should beware of. I play Ditto and copy your Chaos Emperor Dragon. Then I remove my Sangan and my Thunder Nyan Nyan to special summon my Resurrected Demon. The card I drew this turn."
Tom watched in surprise and in fear as he saw his opponent's field full of some of the strongest monsters in Duel Monsters.
"I have my Black Luster Soldier attack your Vorse Raider then attack you directly. Next my Resurrected Demon will attack you and finally my Chaos Emperor Dragon will attack you directly, taking away all your Life Points."
Tom screamed at the 10000 damage was dealt to him. He fainted after a few seconds from the intense pain the 3 monsters dealt to him.
(Yan: 300 Life Points/Tom: 0 Life Points)
Yan took his prize from his unconscious opponent's deck and walked away laughing evilly.
----------------------------------------------------------
Yan sat down on a bench at the park. He relaxed himself and went into his Soul Room for some peace and quiet. He found Bakura waiting for him there.
Bakura smiled evilly, "You did pretty nice in that last duel. Fooling your opponent and also being ruthless enough to knock him unconscious. You've changed a lot since the time you first learned to duel."
Yan laughed and smiled darkly. "So is the change good or bad? Bakura!"
"Definitely good, you're no longer that pathetic little child I first met. Imagine the shock I received when I realized your true nature. You've grown into a talented duelist. Pretty soon you shall defeat all in your path for power... including Shadi!"
"Perfect! I will crush him in a duel for giving me that humiliating defeat the first time I dueled. Oh, guess who I met a few days ago?"
"Who, kid?"
"Katrina Bakura, the daughter of your old host. Ironic isn't it, you left the Bakura's and cut any ties you had with that family, yet they still found a way to go back to you."
"Does that girl know anything about me?"
"Not that I know of, though she doesn't know that I possess the Millennium Ring."
"Interesting... what type of deck does she use?"
"Exodia Fiend. A really good deck and she holds the record of fastest victory so far."
"At least Ryou's daughter has better taste in cards than he does."
"Don't tell me a dark and sinister spirit like you is interested in teenage girls," Yan said as he attempted to hide his smile, as Bakura growled at him.
"Forget about her; I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"Lend me use of your body from time to time."
"Now why would I do that?" asked Yan suspiciously.
"You may be a good actor and can conceal your true nature at times by acting like an innocent child, but I haven't forgotten you're like me. Either way, I do have more experience than you. I will help you become a better duelist. Don't worry I won't mutilate you or anything. You and I are too alike."
"I'll let you use my body at times on one condition. Teach me the use of the Millennium Ring."
"Alright with me," Bakura said while thinking that he won't teach him everything of the Ring, just the majority.
"That reminds me, when you're in control, don't blow my disguise and don't lay a finger on Astana." Yan said with a dangerous look in his eyes as he said his friend's name.
Bakura laughed like a maniac. "So you do like her. Don't you get bored of acting like an idiot around her? She, after all, has no idea that all she knows about you is an act. So, to tell me to stay away from her, you must really like her."
"That is not any of your business, Bakura!"
"You act just like I did when I was your age. I'm proud of you and glad that for once I got a host worthy of me. Here take this card. It might come of use to you. Like Resurrected Demon, this card is unique and only you have it."
Yan looked at the card Bakura had given him and smiled. This card was just exactly what he needed. The card was named "Demon's Wish" and had powerful effects.
"From now on I will be giving you these cards whenever your Dueling Rank increases. You will be given 3 more of these Demon Cards. The 5 cards are known as the Demon Set back in Ancient Egypt. If all 5 cards are on the field, you instantly win the game."
"Perfect…" Yan put the card into his deck and noticed Bakura suddenly alert.
"Yan! The first thing I'll teach you about the Millennium Ring is to summon it. Concentrate on the Millennium Ring and think mentally about having it appear on you. It doesn't matter if it's under your clothes. It'll phase right through them."
----------------------------------------------------------
Yan left his Soul Room and summoned his Millennium Ring. He watched it pass right through his clothes in amazement. "What now Bakura?" thought Yan to the Spirit of the Millennium Ring.
"I sensed a Millennium Item nearby. Hold up the Ring," said Bakura.
Yan held up the Millennium Ring and watched as two of its golden spikes lifted up and pointed toward different directions. "What does this mean?" asked Yan.
Bakura smiled happily. "It means that there are two Millennium Items within range of the Millennium Ring."
"So we're going to go after them?"
"Not yet... First we have a little present to pick up. I hid it in this city back when Ryou was still my host. He had no idea that was happening though. He was such a weakling and could barely put up any resistance."
Yan smiled sneakily, "What is this present you speak of?"
"A God Card," replied Bakura as he waited for Yan's surprise.
"An Egyptian God Card?" asked Yan in shock. "How did you get it? That's probably 1 of the rarest cards in the history of Duel Monsters."
"Not an Egyptian God Card, but an Elemental God Card. How I found it is a secret."
Yan ran off as he listened to the directions Bakura was giving him.
----------------------------------------------------------
Mike after he give up his body to the Spirit, no longer resembled his old self. His hair, normally short and worn it loosely, now had a more spiky edge to it. His eyes, no longer gentle and jolly, appeared dark and sinister.
He went up to a huge abandoned building and smiled. "If I remember right, I hid it inside this building… my old headquarters."
Mike went in and searched until he revealed a hidden switch. He pressed it and unearthed a hidden passage. He walked through and came into an underground labyrinth. He walked around and around until he arrived into a room with a golden box on a pedestal in the center of the room.
Mike opened the box and took out his hidden treasure... the Winged Dragon of Ra.
Mike held up the card and laughed. "With this card no one can defeat me!" He put the card into his deck.
Mike turned around and activated his Millennium Rod. "I have to found more victims for mind slaves. But first I'll have to find more members to rebuild the Rare Hunters!"
"You have returned Master. Though your body and identity are different, I remember you well," said a man who appeared in front of him.
"Who are you!" questioned Mike loudly.
"My name is Namek. I was a rare hunter back when you were still Master Marik. After you were defeated, I carried on your work waiting for your return. As we speak, your loyal followers have already joined in Duelist Legacy and await your command."
"Perfect. This will make it a lot easier." Mike cackled evilly and his laughter was heard echoing the underground maze.
----------------------------------------------------------
Yan arrived after a few minutes of listening to Bakura to the local bank. Yan smirked and said, "A bank? That's where you hide one of the most powerful cards in the world? You are pitiful."
"Watch who you're talking to!" Bakura said angrily. "And what place is safest to hide a card?"
"You got a point there. So what do I do?"
"Go to the back of the vaults on the left."
"And?" asked Yan nervously.
"Go to the left most corner and on the bottom and push hard."
Yan listened to the spirit and after he pushed a little, a key was revealed. The spirit told him to use the key on the closest vault to him. Yan opened up the vault and took out the only item there, The Element God Card... Shadow, God of Darkness.
"Nice! This will make a very good edition to my deck." Yan placed the card into his deck and left the bank.
Yan took out his deck and his spare cards and started changing his deck.
"Yan!" yelled a voice form behind him.
Yan turned around and saw his friend staring at him. He was a little startled at the change his friend had done to his appearance. "Mike, what do you want? You look a little different."
"I see you have a God Card, and I challenge you to a duel," said Mike, ignoring Yan's second question.
Yan looked confused at Mike. "Why would you do that? And how many counters do you have?"
"I have 3 counters and I shall duel you for you God Card, and we shall put 2 Counters on the line."
Yan smiled and agreed to the duel. "Fine then we shall duel here."
"No. Not here, in another place... The Shadow Realm!" yelled Mike as he raised his Millennium Item and summoned the Shadow Realm.

DSlifer: So how does everybody think about my little twist to the character's personalities? I just love doing that. Was it a surprise to everyone? Anyway if you haven't noticed yet, for the cards in the 'Demon Set', I haven't mentioned all their effects, because they are secret effects that are not known to anyone. Not even bakura. Also I will be calling the Spirit of the Millennium Ring, Bakura, and the human one Ryou. Also remember when I said that this story is taken place in the Anime version? That means I shouldn't get any reviews telling me I can't activate magic cards during my opponent's turn. I also think I'm starting to like cliff hangers and think I'm going to do more and more of them. Now sadly, very little people have reviewed me.
