"Let me show you the first instrument of your defeat! Go Slime Jar!"
Yugi looked questionable at the slime jar rising onto the field.
'That cards only use is to summon powerful monster... what is he thinking?'
"I also play this card face down and end my turn."
"My turn."
Yugi drew a card. A Summoned Skull. Perfect.
"I sacrifice my monster to bring Summoned Skull to the field! (2500/1200) Attack his monster now! Lightning strike!"
Yami laughed and threw his hand out to his card on the field.
"Activate trap! Mirror Force!"
"Shit."
Yugi shielded himself from Summoned Skulls destruction.
'I can't lose...'
"My turn and observe as a slime token is summoned in attack mode. (500/500) This raises my Guano to attack strength of 2000. Go 2500 points of direct damage.
Yugi reeled back from the attack of two monsters and frowned as his life points dropped to 1900.
'How did I lose my lead so easily? Rookie mistakes like that could cost me the duel.
"My turn."
Yugi drew a Right Arm of Exodia. Yugi's eyes went wide with shock and he looked up to Yami.
'Could he have been collecting the pieces all along? He could, and he has 3 cards in his hands could they all be pieces?'
Yugi smiled.
'Easy way to check.'
"Activate Black Hole!"
"No!"
"Yes! Destroy all of his monsters and leave the field clean."
Yugi frowned. He wanted to keep the piece of Exodia... Yes he had no choice but to use it now.
"Go Swords of Revealing Light! That will end my turn."
"Good come forth Slime token. And I'll summon this card face down. That will be it."
"Fine."
Yugi drew a card. Left Arm of Exodia.
'Damn not what I need right now.'
"I end my turn."
"Come forth another Slime Token. And with that I'll end my turn."
"Fine."
Yugi drew a card. Monster Reborn. Perfect.
"Go Monster Reborn! Revive my Summoned Skull! Attack his Slime token!"
Yami was blasted backwards and growled as he lost 2000 points. That left him with only 100.
"This isn't over Yugi. I have prolonged our defeat for long enough. Now then... One more Slime token and... I can summon this card."
Yami shows Yugi the back of the card and Yami starts to mutter something that sounds like a chant.
"Great Beast of the sky please hear my cry, transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. Envelope the desert with your glow and cast your rage upon my foe. Appear in this shadow game as I call your name... Winged Dragon of Ra!"
The winged Dragon of Ra rises onto the field with Yami laughing hysterically behind it.
"My facedown card was Dark Elf. So my 2000 from Dark Elf my 900 from Guano and my 500 from my token brings my beast to 3400!"
"But how? With only one of those cards in the game there is no way one is in my deck."
"True Yugi. There is no Dragon of Ra in your deck. There is however Exodia... I hope you are close to summoning him."
Yugi stared at his two pieces of Exodia.
'Not even close.'
"Now Winged Dragon of Ra! Break through the barrier of the Swords! Attack and Destroy Summoned Skull!"
Yugi reeled under the pressure of a God's attack. His life points clicked down 1000.
'Damn. I am in deep trouble.'
"Nice play, Yami, using my favorite card to kill Yugi."
Marik had come forth to watch the show closely, his cloak whipping from the wind of Ra's attack.
Yami stared at Marik with a lopsided grin on his face.
"Yes I thought using a God to destroy him would be my best move."
Yugi growled.
"It is my turn."
"Then make it Yugi."
Yugi touched the deck of his cards.
'This is it the fate of the world depends on this card.'
His hand faltered and slipped off the deck.
'I can't do this.'
He stared down at his summoning area.
'I...I...'
'Yugi...'
Yugi eyes widen and he looked up to the ceiling. Light Marik's eyes were partly opened and he looked strained. He was sure Light Marik had made the noise.
'Yugi... Heart of the... Cards... We... all... believe... in..."
Light Marik broke his connection and his eyes closed. Yugi smiled as he looked back to his deck.
'Yes. I know Marik.'
Yugi returned his hand to the deck.
"This is far from over Yami!"
Yugi: 1000 Yami: 100
