"Awesome!" Nikki called as she watched Ryu-Hikari's Buster Blader slash through Ryu-Yami's monster. "He's going to win!"
Others spectators cheered as Ryu-Yami growled. "It's my turn," he gritted his teeth and drew a card. "I activate Graceful Chairty!" An angel appeared on the field. "Now I may draw three cards and discard two. Now I draw and discard my Left Arm of the Forbidden One and my Kaiser Seahorse."
"That's weird, I wonder why he discarded and Exodia piece?" Nikki asked herself. "Unless he's trying to use Exodia Necross! No!"
Ryu-Yami smiled. "A good guess but you're way off. I set a card and end my turn."
Ryu-Hikari didn't seem afraid. "Your strategy may be good but it isn't good enough. I play Mystical Space Typhoon and target your face down card!" A lightning bolt flew from above the filed and obliterated the card. "Next I command Buster Blader to attack you directly!" The warrior rushed forward and slashed Ryu-Yami across the chest. He took a step back but managed to hold his ground.
Ryu-Yami 2900/Ryu-Hikari 3400
"Amazing, both of them have lost almost seventy-five percent of their life points," Baxter remarked.
"I end my turn." Ryu-Hikari stated.
"It's not smart to leave a monster undefended," Ryu-Yami said. "Yes! I've drawn the card I need...I remove my Left Arm of the Forbidden One and Kaiser Seahorse to special summon Chaos Emperor Dragon!" There was a might roar as a huge dragon. 3000/2500. It was black, with great wings. It had a green exo-skeleton and a very long neck.
"Bad move," Ryu-Hikari laughed. "It's a dragon so now Buster Blader gains 500 attack points." The warrior began to get larger and his attack rose to 4100.
"In most cases you would be right," Ryu-Yami snickered. "However, your Blader isn't going to stick around long enough. I set a monster, for later. Now, I play the magic card Megamorph!" The dragon began to roar and grow double in size. "Now his attack doubles to 6000! Now attack Buster Blader!" The Dragon shot a blast of green fire that destroyed the warrior.
Ryu-Yami 2900/Ryu-Hikari 1500
Suddenly, the great dragon began to get smaller and became one half of its original size. 1500/2500. "I forgot its attack drops if my life points are greater. However, I have a plan," Ryu-Yami said. "I play De-Spell destroying Megamorph!" The dragon once again assumed its original size. "I'll end my turn."
"I guess this puts me on the defensive," Ryu-Hikari said. "I need to use the card Raijouta gave me...but I still wouldn't be able to use it even if I drew it. I set a monster and two cards and end my turn."
"You're afraid of the Chaos my monster will cause," Ryu-Yami grinned. "Now attack his set monster my dragon!" The dragon shot a burst of fire that destroyed the monster.
"You destroyed my Sangan," Ryu-Hikari commented. "Now I can add one monster with 1500 or less attack points to my hand." He picked up a card and watched an angry Ryu-Yami.
"I'll end my turn then..." he muttered.
"Then I'll go," Ryu-Hikari looked at his hand. "If I just draw the card I need Ryu-Yami will stand no chance..." he whispered to himself. "I set a monster and end my turn."
Ryu-Yami drew a card and began to laugh. "You're doomed. I summon Opticlops in attack mode!" 1800/1700. A mighty Cyclops with muscular arms appeared before Ryu-Yami. "Attack his set monster Chaos Emperor Dragon!" The great beast fired a blast of fire that obliterated the monster, which was revealed as Mystical Elf. "Now Opticlops finish him off!" The monster rushed to ram Ryu-Hikari with its powerful arms but was stopped by three priestesses.
"My Waboku will protect me for this turn," Ryu-Hikari said. "And now it's my turn." He closed his eyes and drew a card. "All right...it's time to use Raijouta's card!"
"Yes! I knew he could get it!" Raijouta called.
"I bet he'll win now. Go Ryu-Hikari!" Nikki called with vigor.
"Impossible...you can't win..." Ryu-Yami stuttered.
"But I can, I summon..."
