"Come on! Let me go, I gotta see this duel!" Daniel said, trying to get out of bed.
"No! You've hurt yourself too much!" Allen said as everyone else tried to put him down. "All the strain nearly killed you. Paul is on his own for now!"
Daniel sighed and rested. "Fine..." He said.
"If Paul wins this tournament, you know he takes your half of the title of King of Games, meaning he'll be the worlds strongest duelist...." Kai said.
"Yeah... But I got sick of it. I'm sort of glad it's gone." Daniel smiled.
"Now! I will start this turn!" Paul yelled, drawing his next card. "I summon Kaizer Seahorse in attack mode! (1700/1650). Then I set a card face down and end my turn!"
Darien drew his next card. "Now! I summon Bubonic Reptilian! (1300/1200) In defense mode! By sacrificing 200 Life Points (D: 3800) I can draw an extra card!" He yelled as he took his next card. "Now! I play Heard of Scales! Allowing me to summon more monsters. Now I summon Demi Raptor, in defense mode! (200/2100) I'll then set a card face down and end my turn!"
Paul smirked. "Now draw!" He yelled, pulling his next card. His confidence allowed him to pull a card he wanted. "Now! I sacrifice Kaizer Seahorse to summon Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)"
"So soon dear brother?" Darien smirked. "Your blue eyes won't do any good in this duel! Now, reverse trap card! Death's Cradle! Sending you Dragon into hell!"
Suddenly a fissure struck the ground, pulling in the Blue Eyes. Paul growled. "Reverse magic card, Enemy Controller!" Paul yelled. "If I can't have my Blue Eyes, I will start in a different direction!"
"Very well..." Darien smiled as the giant game controller formed onto the field.
"Now! Left, Right, A, B!" Paul commanded, as the controller pressed the buttons. The chord whipped, attaching to Darien's Bubonic Reptilian. "I sacrifice your Bubonic Reptilian to summon Emerald Dragon! (2400/1400) Now! Emerald Dragon, attack his remaining monster!"
The dragon blasted a light blue stream of fire at the small raptor, destroying it. "You know what this means...." Darien said, His Deck Holster slid out a card and he took it, adding that one card to his hand. "And another Demi Raptor will form! (200/2100)"
"My turn ends!" Paul yelled.
Darien drew his next card. "Now! I sacrifice Demi Raptor to summon Spirit Nerofukai!" Darien yelled as a glowing orb appeared, forming into a great warrior.
"What kind of monster is that?!" Paul said in shock.
Darien smirked. "You have must remembered Yamata Dragon, do you not? Well of course you do. You'd know that those kind of monsters are spirits. Spirit Type monsters with powerful effects, like this very same one. Now! Spirit Nerofukai attack and destroy his Emerald Dragon!" Darien yelled.
The spirit whipped out it's flaming sword, running at the dragon and slashing it in half. The dragon was quickly destroyed, leaving Paul with 3900 life points."No..." Paul growled.
"Now! I play this magic card, Spirit Blessings, which will now decrease all levels of the Spirit Type monster's in my hand by 1!" Darien yelled. "But that's not all, Spirit Nerofukai puts one Spirit Monster into my hand!"
Suddenly his Deck Holster slid out a card. Darien took it, adding it to his hand. "But then again, your Spirit Nerofukai is returned to your own hand!" Paul yelled as the spirit warrior turned back into an orb, floating to Darien's duel plate. Darien snatched the card, placing it back into his hand.
The River of Blood began to ripple from the middle of the tower. The blood was strange but the tower was just beginning it's rampage. It felt as if the tower was really real. Paul couldn't let this interfere with this duel.
"My turn ends..." Darien announced.
Paul drew his next card. "Now! I summon Spear Dragon! (1900/0)" He announced as the dragon materialized onto the field. "Spear Dragon! Direct attack!"
The dragon unleashed a blue wind at Darien. Darien covered himself while growling as his life points reduced to 1900.
"Because of your attack, your dragon goes into defense mode!" Darien yelled.
"I don't care, my turn ends!" Paul yelled.
Darien drew his next card. "Now! I play two cards face down, then play this, Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy my own Wicked God Statue!" Darien yelled as his trap card flipped up and exploded. "It automatically summons a God Token! (1000/1000) Now I sacrifice my own God Token to summon Dark Necro Dragon! (2000/1300)"
Paul growled. "Another Spirit..." He scolded.
"Now! Dark Necro Dragon attack!" Darien yelled as the dragon lashed out. "Damage between my monsters attack and your monster's defense will be counted!"
Paul growled, shielding himself from the giant attack as his life points reduced to 1900. Darien set a card face down, ending his turn.
Paul drew his next card. "I set a card face down, then summon Sapphire Dragon in attack mode! (1900/1000)" He announced. "Now! Attack!"
"Reverse trap card!" Darien yelled. "Attack Nullification!"
"Damn it..." Paul growled, ending his turn.
Darien drew his next card, smiling. "Now! I play another Spirit Blessings, lowering all my Spirit Monster's levels! So I freely summon Dark Necro Dragon again! (2000/1300)" He yelled. "Now! Attack!"
"Reverse trap card!" Paul yelled. "Dead Revenge! By sacrificing my Sapphire Dragon, I can negate your attack and destroy your monster!"
Suddenly a warrior with a bow and arrow appeared. The warrior shot the arrow, destroying Dark Necro Dragon. He then turned around, shooting another arrow but at Sapphire Dragon, destroying it also.
Darien laughed. "Too bad, your must skip your next Battle Phase, saving me some time. My turn ends." Darien smiled.
Paul drew his next card. He had absolutely nothing on the field. "Now! I summon Versago The Destroyer, in defense mode! (1100/900)" He announced. "My turn ends!"
Darien smiled. "You have no clue what has happened in the past. This staff has allowed me to see back. Your a pitiful fool, brother. I will teach you the lesson you deserve" Darien thought, feeling his mind trail off into anger.
