You're Only Deceived Once
By SariaSubi-kun
SariaSubi: Okay, now, in the fourth chapter we saw a * next to Gravity Bind. Well, that's because Gravity Bind is a real card. Heck, I think it's somewhat rare because the card I have of it says "First Edition" and the writing is holographic...must mean something, huh? Ah, well, it's an awesome card, so if you have money, go out and buy it! And by the way, I got another review! Thank you so much Sorceress Vanessa!
Anyway, I feel you all know I only own the story, yet not the anime. Should I get an authorization to write a fanfic and the public know that I did not create Yu-Gi-Oh?!
Uh, PS-I really just got started on actually knowing the cards of the game, so I made up a bunch of cards on Matsu's and a little on Seto's side. And there are some real cards in there, but if I did not comply completely to their rules, don't get mad. For Seto, I found various cards on websites that says he uses.
Chapter 5
Ishizu looked at the hieroglyphics on the walls of her museum. When should she open the museum? She had to tell Yami and Seto about their ancients paths, though she wished she could find a young priestess among the carvings....
She shook her head. Ishizu hoped Matsu would win her duel. Not because it was against Seto Kaiba, but because it would be a complete embarrassment to her ego that she was finally starting to build if she lost.
If.
//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//
Matsu followed the tall figure down the hallways, wondering how he knew them so well. Was he taking them to a private arena? Ooh yes!, she wanted to clap her hands together, finally, after training my deck for all those years and missing school purposely to do it!
Finally opening a door, Seto and Matsu looked upon a large dueling arena. "Amazing," she awed, "this is the largest one I've ever seen." Stupid! she thought, this was Kaiba Corporation, they put these things out in the US!
"Are you ready yet?" he growled, already on his dock.
"Sure, sure!" As soon as she got on her deck, she looked proudly up. "Seto Kaiba, you are going to see a duelist with cards you never knew existed!"
"Really?" he smirked, "the person I last defeated said the same thing. I must be getting déjà vu."
She growled. "Okay, Seto Kaiba! It's time to duel!"
//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//
"My turn first!" She scanned her hand. What? One of the Tsuki warriors already on the first hand? Amazing. If I just put these cards down for later...
"Okay! I put Overdrive, in attack mode!" She slapped the card down and on the playing field arose an armored vehicle with a machine gun, 1600/1500. "And I put this card, face down, ending my turn."
Seto looked at his hand. Battle Ox, good monster. His mighty ox would crush this foolish girl.
"Battle Ox," he placed the card down, "in attack mode!"
Matsu smirked. "Ya sure you really want to attack me, Seto?"
What? She called him by his first name? No one ever did that except his brother and those sniveling former employees who tried to sweet-talk their way out of their alliance with Pegasus. "Don't try to play games with me Matsu. I'm not falling for your girlish innocence act."
"Oh my, I'm offended!"
"Shut up and let's get on with the duel." She crossed her arms and smirked. "As you wish."
"Battle Ox, attack her piece of scrap metal, now!" But as the mighty minoutaur charged forward, Matsu flipped up a card.
"My, my, you don't take into precautions do you?" she looked down plainly. "Meet 7 Completed. It activates when you attack a low rate machine monster and allows me to summon a greater one, adding 700 points to either its defense or attack, so I summon Steel Ogre Grotto #2, attack mode." A bulgy monster emerged from the dueling field, 1900/2200. "And I chose to put the 700 to his attack points." The monster soon glowed as the meter showed his attack strength rising to 2600 points. "Now, it's automatically my turn. So sorry to stop you in your tracks."
Seto started to notice how plain she was making her comments. She was no longer using a mocking tone. Why the sudden attitude change? He shook it off as he awaited the outcome of this turn.
"Now that my Overdrive has been sacrificed in order to summon Steel Ogre Grotto, I can attack. Steel Ogre Grotto, attack now! Devastating Crush!" The bulky monster's fat steel arm lunged towards Seto's Ox, smashing it to pieces, and taking a 900 point bite out of his Life Points.
//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//
Now it was time to get serious. He drew another card. A Blue Eyes already! Extremely lucky. But he couldn't play it just yet. But then again....he had the Flute of Summoning Dragons. Perfect. Now, the question was: should he wait until he had Polymerization or just put all three out? Either way, he'd have three Blue Eyes on the field, and hoping for luck, the next turn could fuse them all!
"I summon the Blue Eyes White Dragon!" The field sparkled as the fierce dragon appeared on the field.
"Ooooh, so that's what the Blue Eyes look like." She sounded bored.
"I'm not done yet." He pulled out another card. "I play Flute of Summoning Dragons!"
Her eyes widened dramatically. "What?!"
"Now I can summon two dragons to the field. I summon the two remaining Blue Eyes!" She stepped back as the gigantic monsters appeared, completely foiling her plans.
He smirked evilly. "Now, Matsu, I thought you were a little more confident than that. Or are you just scared? Didn't think I was this smart at dueling, did you? Well, you should have thought about all this before you mindlessly challenged me."
He was getting her angered. She furrowed her brow. "It's only my third turn. The tides will change, Seto."
It made him grin more to see her angry. His mind instantly rejoiced at the opportunity to insult her. "I'm not so sure. You're lucky that I can't attack with my Blue Eyes yet, but next turn, I fuse them together to make the ultimate being!"
Before he could go on about how great his Ultimate Dragon was, she stopped him. "Yeah, yeah, lord of the dragons is you. But don't think this turn isn't wasted. True, you're Blue Eyes can swipe my Grotto and then attack me directly, but like I said, I'm not done yet." She drew a card and then gave a smirk, but it soon faded as she looked across the field at the CEO. She never gave the guy much thought before. Seriously, his eyes, those dark blue, icy eyes...Gah! She smacked herself mentally. This is a stinking duel, for crying out loud!
'Well, time to turn things around," she sighed as she placed a card down. "First, I play 5 Card Trolley. This allows me to play up to five cards if I please, replacing all of them at the end of the turn by drawing five new ones. So," she looked at her hand as she held the word. "I first play Gravity Bind."
Seto's eyes widened. He had only heard a myth about this card.
Matsu easily read his expression, and her look became one of malice quickly. She would have fun torturing him with her rare cards. "Yes, Seto Kaiba, Gravity Bind. It makes all cards with level four or over on my opponents side of the field paralyzed for the whole game. That means any monster that you summon to the field will be instantly paralyzed. And, looking at the kind of duelist you are, it seems to be a burden now to stack your deck with high leveled monsters, isn't it?" She laughed. "Card one. Meet card two."
She pulled another card out of her hand. "Now, now, Seto, Gravity Bind is only the beginning of the tide. Stand your ground and don't be so sure to brace yourself for the full wave. It will crash down on you soon enough."
Was this poetry corner or a duel? "Just get on with it."
She gave a fake smile. "Gladly. My next card, Tsuki Goddess." On the field, just like the female card she had shown Yugi earlier, appeared on the playing field, dressed in a long black dress with long purple hair, 1700/2000. "And now, my third card! I summon the Tsuki Archer." Just like she said the name, a young boy is a cloak appeared, holding a key. "His special ability is, that, since he is an archer, his key transforms into a quiver and arrows, raising his attack strength 300 points!" The meter spun and showed his attack strength rising, making his stats 1900/2000. "And now, card number four, the Tsuki Soldier. He adds a weapon to any other monster of the Spellcaster type who doesn't have one that adds 300 points as well." The meter spun as Tsuki Goddess's attack rose to 2000. "And to unleash Tsuki Goddess's special ability, now that all the Soldiers of the Moon have been summoned, she can now add a shield around each warrior, making them evasive to all attacks!"
He winced. "Damnit," he hissed.
"But not that ability will be needed, Seto." She watched him look at her strangely, "for meet my fifth card, Golden Moonlight!" Yes, it was the card that she had spent ninety dollars on in Grandpa Motou's game shop. "This card first illuminates the field, making all Spellcaster types' both Attack and Defense rise by 500 points."
Seto cut her off. "That still doesn't make them stronger than three Blue Eyes, even with your Gravity Bind card on the field."
"Patience, patience, Seto."
"I don't have one."
"Well then, let me continue so we can end this. I won't need the power upgrades, as I have said. Golden Moonlight also acts as Polymerization and fuses the three together to make MY ultimate being." The field began to swirl as the light at the top of the field acting as a moon shone on the three warriors, and then shining down, only one warrior remaining.
Seto rubbed his eyes. "There's only one of them left."
Matsu waved her finger. "Nuh-uh, not yet. Look closely." As he did, he saw that this monster was not any of the three that was there previously. It was a tall figure clad in black armor outlined in gold. She smiled. "Say hello to Fumetsu, or immortal in Japanese, Moonlight Gladiator." The tall monster's stats were near impossible. 5700/600.
"Yes, yes," she crossed her arms, "it combines all their stats, both Attack and Defense. Heh, now, watch the fireworks."
Seto knew that he was doomed, but there was more? How could she still have more to do in that turn when all THAT happened?
Matsu read his expression again. Pulling back a strand of blue hair, she stated, "When I pulled 5 Card Trolley, all that happened in that only accounted for one Magic Card." What?! "And now I play Selket, the Egyptian Goddess in Attack mode, offering up Steel Ogre Grotto #2 as Tribute!" In Steel Ogre's place arose a slim Egyptian woman, 1300/2800. They were extremely strange statistics, but there had to be a reason why it was in Attack mode. "Because now I use Polymerization to fuse Fumetsu Moonlight Gladiator and Selket together."
Seto was confused. "I thought you said this was your ultimate being. Why are you fusing it again?"
"To answer that, I'll remind you that I said that I would unleash my ultimate being. Fumetsu isn't my ultimate being." That only meant one thing.
Matsu didn't intend to defeat Seto quickly. She wanted to torture him.
