The hallway seems to stretch on forever as Shadi and the hooded figure
follows Golain toward the Duelist Chamber.
"THE DARK SPIRITS OF OUR SOULS... ARE MORE UNSTABLE THEN OUR LIGHT SIDE DON'T YOU AGREE?"
"It seems so."
"OF COURSE THE DARK SHADOW SPIRITS HAVE MORE POWER OVER THE SHADOWS..."
"They are intertwined with the darkness, the light avoid the darkness."
The figure shrugs and moves at a quickened pace.
"POWER IS POWER SHADI."
"The end justifies the means?"
"I SUPPOSE."
The three men walk out into the arena.
"WE ARE HERE."
"Lets begin."
Shadi and the hooded figure take spots opposite of each other. Eight more robed figures set up behind the slabs of stone and start chanting. Shadi looks with interest at the new comers.
"NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS SET UP SHADI?"
"It has been a while..."
Golain takes up a spot in the middle of the two fighters. He takes a deep breath and begins his speech.
"It is a simple game. In front of you lay ten slabs of stone. Using your own shadow powers you will inscribe and produce the souls of the monsters into the stone. However powerful monsters require more than one sacrifice. Magic cards may be used but not traps. Behind you are eight mages. Without them you are open to an attack. Also, they help you summon monsters. Certain cards cannot be summoned unless all your mages are standing. Other cards require a few mages and so on. On your own, you will have trouble summoning new monsters. No Life point damage directly magic can be used or recovery magic. Besides that anything goes." Shadi shifts uncomfortably.
'This will be difficult'
"READY?"
"Lets Duel."
"I WILL GO FIRST."
The hooded figure points down at a slab of stone.
"I SUMMON DARK ELF! (2000/800)"
The Dark Elf materialized onto the field. It was much more ghost like then Kaiba's holograms yet Shadi knew its power.
"If that is all you can manage..."
Shadi points down to a slab.
"I will set my Mystical elf (800/2000) in defense position! And then..."
He points to another slab of stone.
"...then I play Malevolent Nuzzler! Raise my attack and defense of my monster by 700 (1500/2700)"
"GOOD I WOULD NOT WANT TO WIN SO QUICKLY."
The hooded figure points at a slab.
"NOW GO MY VORSE RAIDER (1900/1200)! I CAN'T ATTACK SO I'LL END MY TURN."
Shadi points to an empty slab.
"I summon Gemini Elf (1900/900)! And I end my turn."
"THEN FACE MY WRATH!"
The hooded figure laughs evilly as he points to an empty slab.
"GO MY DARK MAGIC RITUAL! I SACRAFICE VORSE RAIDER AND DARK ELF TO SUMMON..."
"No!"
"...MY MAGICIAN OF BLACK CHAOS! (2800/2600)"
"Dammit!"
"THAT'S RIGHT AND THEN..."
He points to another slab.
"...MY STOP DEFENSE SHOULD FORCE YOU MYSTICAL ELF TO FACE ME!"
Shadi stared as the Magician stared down his elf.
"GO MAGICIAN! CHAOS STAFF!"
Shadi shielded himself for a blast. But it never came. He heard a scream of pain beside him. Two of his Mages were down.
"But I only lost 1300 points!"
"2000 IT IS IN 1000 INCREMENTS ONLY."
Shadi stared back at the magician...
'Can I even win?'
