Chapter 67: Every Bit of Evil

"Duel!" Bakura and Darien both yelled. Both their life points rose up to 4000.

"This is sad... I was hoping you'd stay as my lackey" Darien said, waiting for Bakura to move.

"Lackey? I was never a servant to you. I knew you'd turn, just like that. Not all of us can win this." Bakura smiled.

"So. But I can still enjoy seeing you suffer under my foot." Darien said, with his hands crossed.

Bakura growled. "Well now. Maybe we should take this in another part of this world!" Bakura yelled, opening his hands out. Suddenly streams of black fog emerged from behind him, covering the roof of the P.K Building.

"Welcome to the shadow realm. Enjoy your stay because you'll be here for a long time!" Bakura laughed, taking 6 cards. "Now! I summon Brackal in defense mode! (300/1500). Then I set a card face down and end my turn!"

"Draw!" Darien yelled, drawing his next card. "Now! I summon Spear Dragon! (1900/0) Spear Dragon attack and destroy Brackal! Now!"

The dragon opened it's mouth, unleashing a blue wind. The wind charged through Brackal. "Reverse trap card!" Bakura yelled as his trap flipped up. "Demon Deficiency!"

"Heh..." Darien smirked as Bakura's life points remained the same.

"Now I can summon another monster from my hand, now! I summon The Bull Horn! (1600/1700)" Bakura yelled as a small minotaur materialized onto the field.

"I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Darien announced.

Bakura drew his next card. "Now! I sacrifice Bull Horn to summon Ghost Duke! (2000/700)" Bakura yelled as his zombie warrior materialized onto the field. "Now! Destroy his Spear Dragon!"

The duke jumped into the air and down at the dragon, jabbing it's rapier into it's body, destroying the defensive monster.

Bakura smiled. "My turn ends!" He yelled.

Darien drew his next card. "Now! I summon Demi Raptor in defense mode! (200/2100)" He announced. "My turn ends!"

Bakura drew his next card. "What kind of a duelist would sit around, going into defense." Bakura smiled.

"What's wrong about that?" Darien smiled.

"Now! I play Destructive Grave! Increasing my Ghost Duke by 500 attack points! (2500/700)" He announced. "Now! Attack and destroy his Demi Raptor!"

The duke used it's rapier attack on the Demi Raptor, destroying it. "By destroying my dino, you caused it's effect! It places one card from my deck to my hand!" Darien announced as his deck slid out a card. He grabbed it, looking at it, and placing it into his hand. "It also special summons another Demi Raptor onto my field! (200/2100)"

"I place a card face down and end my turn!" Bakura announced.

Darien drew his next card. "Now! I sacrifice my Demi Raptor to summon Canyon Dragon! (2000/1300 +600)" He announced. "This gains 300 attack points for every Dino in my graveyard, making it stronger than your Ghost Duke! Now attack!"

The dragon flew down at the Ghost Duke, striking it with one claw, destroying it. Bakura looked up and felt a squeeze in his heart. He let out a yelp, falling to his knee. "What?! I never held up anything like this...." He said in shock, breathing heavily.

"That's because I put it up. Every damage to your life points will always feel like a knife stabbing your bare heart!" Darien laughed as Bakura's life points reduced to 3900. "Now! I end my turn!"

Bakura drew his next card. "Now! I summon Earthbound Spirit in defense mode! (500/2000)" He announced. "My turn ends here!"

Darien drew his next card. "Now! I summon Yata Garasu! (200/100)" Darien announced as the bird materialized onto the field. "Now! Canyon Dragon attack!"

The dragon flew down at the earthly demon, destroying it. "Err.." Bakura growled, shielding himself from the wind.

"Now! Yata Garasu attack his life points directly!" Darien yelled, pointing at Bakura. The crow dove at Bakura, clawing him on the shoulder. Bakura gripped his heart, feeling the pain from the attack as his life points reduced to 3700. "And since I attacked your with Yata Garasu, you must skip your draw phase! My turn ends now!"

Suddenly Bakura burst out laughing. "I may not be able to draw, but I can bring down your Canyon Dragon!" He yelled.

"Whaa?" Darien said, sarcastically.

"Now! I sacrifice Brackal, Bull Horn, and Earthbound Spirit from my graveyard to summon Dark Necrofear! (2200/2800)" Bakura yelled as the demon appeared on the field, in defense mode.

"Well look at this. You may have summoned a powerful monster but the power is what it lacks!" Darien laughed.

"I set a card face down and end my turn!" Bakura announced.

Darien drew his next card. "Now! I play Monster Reborn to bring back Spear Dragon! (1900/0)" He announced. "Now! I sacrifice Canyon Dragon and Spear Dragon to summon this, Tyrano! (2600/1800)"

Bakura frowned as the giant dinosaur rose from the ground, onto the field. "No..." He growled. "And since all your monsters are in defense mode, Tyrano is allowed to attack your life points directly! Go, Tyrano!" Darien commanded.

The dinosaur lept at Bakura, bashing into him. Bakura let out a yell, feeling his heart squeeze from the attack. His life points reduced to 1100.

Suddenly Bakura smiled. "Reverse trap card!" He said, pointing at his face down card as it flipped up. "World Domination!"

"Oh, and what does that do?" Darien smiled, having not a care in the world.

"When damage is counted, this trap card destroys all your monsters!" Bakura yelled as Darien's Tyrano exploded.

Darien smirked. "Then I end my turn" He said, putting his evil smile into an evil frown.

Bakura drew his next card. "Now! I place Dark Necrofear into attack mode! Then I summon Headless Knight! (1450/1700)" He yelled. "Now my demons! Attack his life points directly!"

The headless knight dove over Darien, striking him. Dark Necrofear then blasted two red beams from it's beady eyes at Darien.

Darien growled, clutching his chest hard. But then he began to laugh as his life points reduced to 350.

"Looks like this duel will be over soon!" Bakura laughed, ending his turn.

"Wrong... Again" Darien laughed, drawing his next card. He held up a magic card. "Now! Activate Cross Sacrifice!"

"What?!" Bakura said in shock as his Dark Necrofear and Headless Knight began to glow.

"I can use this card to sacrifice your monsters to summon my own from my hand! Now I summon Yamata Dragon! (2600/3100)" Darien yelled as the dragon of many heads materialized onto the field.

"No!" Bakura yelled.

"Now! I've truly shown what I can do! Now it's time to finish you! Yamata Dragon attack and destroy him!" Darien yelled, pointing his Obelisk Staff at him.

The dragon heads aimed at Bakura, each blasting an orange firey blast at him. Bakura growled, falling to his knees.

"This duel is over! I've won and now the Shadow Realm will engulf you!" Darien yelled.

Suddenly the dark fog started to disappear, covering Bakura and causing him to disappear as well. "Fool... I'm part of this realm. You can't get rid of me that easy...." He chuckled as Darien walked off, disappearing into the building.
