-Chapter 175: Return of a Demon, Part 1-
Jess groaned, looking up at the sky light from her bedroom, just thinking of how lonely it's been the past summer. She smiled since she knew she had her friends but now one of her best friends was gone because of this problem.
Kai turned on them because he knew something bad would happened. Jess couldn't think about this problem and just wanted it to stop.
She looked at her Millennium Ring which hung on her door knob. Looking at it made her feel angry. Jess slowly got up, picking it up. "It's about time I search for him." She said. Suddenly the MIllennium Ring began to glow and the points pointed forward.
The dark figure at the empty park stood inside a phone booth, talking. "Her signal is strong." The dark voice said.
"Good. Make sure you do your thing." Wolfgang's voice said. "We're good so far, don't screw us up."
"Right." The voice said, hanging up the phone.
Jess came to a empty park where dozens of trees were spread out randomly. She stayed on the lone path where the Millennium Ring pointed. At the dark figure near a tree.
Jess came a few feet forward. "Show yourself!" She yelled, dropping her bag to the ground.
"So, you've gotten the time to search for me." He said, throwing his hat off, revealing himself, Bakura.
"I can't live in loneliness." Jess said. "I want him back!"
"Your father? He's long gone." Bakura cackled.
"What?" Jess said in shock.
"I've taken over, permanently." Bakura smiled.
"But... how?" Jess asked.
"Oh dear sweet Jessica. Just think of the sources." Bakura smiled. "It's just lucky for me just one of your friends would turn on you too."
"Me? But who." Jess growled.
"He was always stronger... than you of course." Bakura laughed. "The so called King of Games."
"Daniel? Why, how would he help you?" Jess stammered.
"Just look at this." Bakura said, taking a glowing yellow stone from his pocket. "I've had this long enough to have brought me eternal life on this dead body."
"No.... Daniel would never help you!" Jess screamed.
"I'm sorry to say but yes. But between you and me, we have business." Bakura said, holding up a Duel Xero.
"Why do you want to duel me?" Jess asked.
"You also have something I want." Bakura said, pointing at the Millennium Ring.
"Of course..." Jess said. "I will duel you, but if I win. You give me that stone."
"You think you can reverse the effects? Now I'm wondering if you're even strong enough." Bakura laughed.
Jess took her Duel Xero right out of her bag and slipped her deck in. "Duel!" They both yelled as their life points rose to 4000.
"Draw!" Jess announced, drawing her card and quickly looking at it. "Now! I summon Vampire Lady, in defense mode! (1550/1550)"
"Vampire Lady...." Bakura smiled, feeling Jess' deck has changed a lot.
"I'll then set one card face down and end my turn!" Jess announced.
"My turn, draw!" Bakura yelled. Bakura laughed, revealing his hand.
Jess gasped, looking at the four magic cards which he held. "Death Message E, A, T, H" She said, realizing Bakura was only one step away from easily winning the duel.
"This is not my strategy. It does rely on these cards but I'll use this instead... Now! I activate this magic card, Cad Destruction!" Bakura yelled, discarding his whole hand and drawing new cards.
"Why would he do that?" Jess wondered, discarding her hand as well. "But to this, it gives me an advantage now..."
"Now! I summon a monster in defense mode." Bakura announced, smiling. "I'll then set a card and end my turn!"
"Draw!" Jess yelled, drawing her next card. "Now! I activate Raise Dead! And in order to bring back this one monster, I'll remove Headless Knight, Skull Demon, and Earthbound Spirit from my graveyard!"
"Ahhh, you're favorite monster." Bakura said.
"Now! I bring forth Dark Necrofear! (2200/2800)" Jess yelled as the dark demon appeared onto the field as a purple aura expanded from it. "Then, I'll switch Vampire Lady into attack mode! (1550/1550) Dark Necrofear, attack!"
"Reveal monster!" Bakura yelled as a purple cloaked demon appeared. "Spirit Reaper! (300/200)"
"What's that?" Jess said as the demon blasted a purple stream from it's eyes. The demon was engulfed but remained on the field.
"Spirit Reaper cannot be destroyed by any of your simple attacks." Bakura smiled. "But now! I'll activate this trap card, Siege of Darkness, allowing me to special summon a monster from my hand, so now! I summon Noble Du Noir! (2000/1400)"
"Err..." Jess growled, knowing the effect of such monster. "My turn ends..."
"Draw!" Bakura announced, drawing his next card. "I'll set one card face down and summon this, Nightmare Horse! (500/400)"
Jess felt a little worried, now that she was up for a full on attack. "Darn..." She growled.
"Now! Nightmare Horse, attack her life points directly!" Bakura yelled. The glowing wrapped horse trotted at Jess, hitting her hard. Jess let out a yell as her life points reduced to 3500. "Noble Du Noir, attack and destroy her Vampire Lady!"
The dark vampire sent a stream of bats at the woman, destroying her and reducing Jess' life points more down to 3050.
Bakura smiled as Jess tried to recover from the first attack. "Reveal trap... Daiku Mirror!" Jess yelled as her trap card flipped up. "This trap card allows me to bring back Vampire Lady (1550/1550), only to discard a monster card from my hand..."
Jess was still smiling as the demon woman appeared back onto the field. "What are you so happy about?" Bakura demanded to know.
"The monster card which I have discarded... Is the Despair of The Darkness! (2800/3000)" Jess yelled.
"No..." Bakura growled.
"And because of it's effect, it comes back to the field!" Jess yelled as the zombie creature rose up from the ground, making the grass die under it's very feet. "So Bakura, you see the true power of the bond between me and my father."
"I'll set one card face down and end my turn." Bakura growled.
"Draw!" Jess announced, drawing her card. "Now! I activate Enemy of Necromancer!"
"No..." Bakura growled.
"This magic card allows me to destroy a zombie type monster on the field so say good bye to Spirit Reaper!" Jess yelled as the purple cloaked demon exploded. "Now, Despair of Darkness, attack and destroy Noble Du Noir!"
Bakura growled, he knew that using Noble Du Noir's effect was just useless now and let the zombie strike down his vampire, destroying it and reducing his life points to 3200. "I will get what I want..." Bakura yelled.
"Now! Vampire Lady, attack and destroy his Nightmare Horse!" Jess yelled. The vampire lady sent a stream of bats at the horse, destroying it and reducing Bakura's life points to 2150. "And because my Vampire Lady did damage, you must discard a type of card I announce, and that card will be a monster."
"Very well." Bakura smiled, looking through his deck and choosing a card and sending it to his graveyard. "Now! Activate Despair From The Darkness! (2800/3000)"
"What?!" Jess said in shock.
"Your not the only one with an occult deck, remember?" Bakura laughed as the same zombie rose up from the ground.
"No... I can't make the last attack now..." Jess growled, looking over at her Dark Necrofear.
Bakura laughed. "I just wish your father were here to see this." Bakura laughed. "Oh wait, he is."
Suddenly Bakura's thick hair came to a rest and he fell to the ground, looking tired. "Jessica?" He said but then tensed up, turning back into the evil spirit.
"You jerk..." Jess growled as little tear formed in her eyes. "How can you be so sick..."
"I'm not sick. I just want what's mine." Bakura said, glaring at Jess.
"I swear... I will defeat you and make sure you are gone... Forever." Jess growled with anger.
"Impossible." Bakura smirked as they both glared each other down. Bakura waited for Jess' signal to end her turn while Bakura tapped one single magic card on his side as his arms were crossed. The magic card, Carnal of God.
"Turn end...." Jess growled.
"Draw!" Bakura yelled, drawing his next card. "Now! Activate magic card, Carnal of God!"
"What?!" Jess said in shock as Bakura swiftly placed the magic card onto his duel xero. Suddenly dark fogs began to rise up. Five red spheres appeared and transformed into the Diabound Curses.
"How could you?!" Jess yelled.
"Easy..." Bakura smiled. "Power is what I crave and I found the right place." Bakura smiled. "Now! Diabound Curse, curse her Despair From The Darkness!"
The creature dove forward, turning into a large black cloud and surrounding the zombie, reducing it's attack power to 1000.
"No!" Jess yelled as her Despair From The Darkness grew weaker.
"Now! Despair From The Darkness (2800/3000), attack and destroy her Despair From The Darkness!" Bakura yelled, pointing. The zombie collided with Jess' zombie, destroying it easily, and reducing her life points to 1250. "That was my price to pay, sacrificing my own Diabound Curse to get you down to there."
Jess growled more as Bakura sadly looked at his four Diabound Curses. It's as if Bakura wasn't himself at all, all of the sudden.
Jess had a theory now, that this Carnal of God was able to change your way, she only hoped none of her friends would try to use it.
"My turn ends now." Bakura announced.
Jess drew her next card. "I'll shift Vampire Lady and Dark Necrofear into defense mode." Jess announced, sadly. "And set one card face down and end my turn."
"Draw!" Bakura announced, drawing his card and smiling. "Now! I activate this magic card, Zombie Troops, forcing your two zombie monsters to shift into attack mode!"
"No... I'll lose the duel now!" Jess gasped.
"Now Despair From The Darkness, attack and de story her Vampire Lady!" Bakura yelled.
"Reveal trap!" Jess yelled. "Ghost Repel!"
"What?" Bakura said.
"By removing a zombie monster from my hand, from play, I can negate your attack." Jess said, taking her Ghost Count and slipping it into her pocket.
"Heh, by just dodging my attacks, your keeping back the doom." Bakura smiled.
"What doom." Jess said, sternly.
"Tonight... Midnight." Bakura smiled.
"What happens from there." Jess said.
"That is my little secret for now. But we need to duel!" Bakura shouted.
