Yami's eyes glowed as he looked onto Yugi.

'This kid is done. Nothing can stand up to my God!'

Yugi drew his card, his face expressionless.

"I place this face down and activate Harpies Feather Duster!"

Yami stayed motionless as the Slime Jar was destroyed.

'Small loss.'

"Now Yugi! Another attack from my God! Winged Dragon of Ra! Attack his facedown monster!"

"Sorry Yami but my facedown monster is..."

Yugi pointed to his monster.

"A Sangan."

Yami cursed. That was an easy way to get a piece of Exodia.

"A lucky move Yugi. I am sure you will not make another."

"Well I will draw a card. And place it in defense position. That will end my turn."

"Fine. I'll play one card facedown and now Ra! Attack his facedown monster!"

Yugi smiled and pointed to his... Witch of the Black Forest.

"What? No way!"

"Way. And I think you know what that means. I only need one more piece."

'Well Yugi. There are no my cards in your deck that could allow you to special draw an Exodia piece. This duel is still over.'

Yami smiled but it quickly turned to an expression of shock as he looked over at Yugi. Yugi's body glowed with a golden light brightening the entire chamber. Shadi, Marik, and Kaiba shielded their eyes and kept away from Yugi. Yami stared in disbelief at the person in front of him.

'This could only be my lighter half's intervention. Maybe he can still transfer through those pieces? Yes. That must be it. No way this kid has that kind of Shadow powers.'

"I still have a God Yugi. And you are at least one piece of Exodia away from victory. Plenty of time for me to crush you. I'll end my turn by setting this card face down."

Yugi drew a card and looked at it with mild interest.

"I'll set this one face down. And set this in defense position."

'What? That was supposed to be an Exodia piece! What is he planning?'

"If you want a challenge, Yugi, here it comes! Winged Dragon of Ra! Attack him now!"

Yugi shielded himself from the smoke enveloping the field. But when the smoke cleared...

"What is this?"

"I activated my trap! Magical Cylinder! Along with my Young Magician, the attack can be directed right at your God! Say goodbye to the Winged Dragon!"

Ra's explosion was immense. The ceiling of the chamber cracked, the holograms flickered and both players were brought to their knees.

"My... god..."

Yami stood up and brushed himself off.

"Good play Yugi. Now finish me off."

"As you wish!"

Yugi drew a card and put it into his hand.

"Now young magician! Attack his life points directly. Elemental Magic Beam!"

The young magician pointed his staff at Yami's heart and fired.

"I have won Yami!"

"Not yet."

Marik had spoken and smiled at the clouds covering Yami.

"Just watch. Ra will rise again to destroy you."

The smoke cleared and Yami stood behind a wall.

"Meet my Absorbent Wall. This little treasure turns your attack into Life Points."

Yami laughed as his life points clicked up to 2000.

"Now Yugi my turn."

Yami drew a card.

"I will play this card in defense position and end my turn."

"My turn. I'll play this card face down and I will attack with Young Magician."

"Observe my Thief of the Mages! This card allows me to draw any magic card in my deck by discarding two cards."

Yami threw away two cards.

"Now I choose... Monster Reborn! I will then-"

"Not so fast. Activate Light Force Sword!"

Yami looked shocked as his card was thrown from his hand.

"Very well. Then I'll play this card face down and end my turn."

"Attack Young magician!"

Yami shielded himself and laughed.

"One turn down. And the monster was Hane-Hane so your Young Magician will return to your hand. And I will play this card in defense position."

"I will re-summon Young Magician! (1900/500) Attack now!"

"My Mystic Elf should block that. (800/2000) And do 100 damage."

Yugi frowned as his life point counter ticked down to 900.

"Turn 2. I will play this card. Witch of the Damned (0/0) in attack position. I'll end it there."

'This card must have an effect. But I must risk it.'

"Go young magician attack the Witch!"

The young Magician thrusted his staff forward and fired. The witch glowed and took the attack in.

"The witch absorbs half of the attack of his opponent into her attack points. If the monster attacking is a spell-caster, she absorbs all of the attack into her attack points. That's turn three Yugi. I'll play this card facedown. And I'll await the invincible Ra next turn."

Yugi reached his hand to his deck.

'This is it. My last card.'

Yugi closed his eyes and drew the card.

"Now Yami I drew..."

Yugi: 900 Yami: 2000 [Light Force effect off In Yami's next turn]
