"The outcome of this duel may yet surprise you..."—Sugoroku "Gramps" Mutoh

"You think you know...but you have no idea!!"—From the movie "Drumline"

Now let's get this show on the road!!

Disclaimer note: I don't own anyone/thing from Yu-Gi-Oh! and that's that! You know my OC's by now, so quit buggin' me!

And with that...we begin!

Chapter 4: Duel!!: Sophia vs. Seto, pt.2

Sophia was shivering from fear as Seto threw down not one, but TWO copies of the most powerful dragon in Duel Monsters. 'It's not possible!' she thought. 'How did he get two Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards? It's just not possible!'

Seto laughed maniacally. "Beat that! Where's your arrogant little smile now?!! Do you now realize you don't stand a snowball's chance in Hades of beating me?"

Sophia was trembling more than a skyscraper in an earthquake. 'My plan...' she thought, 'my entire plan...flushed down the toilet! It's all over now...'

Seto stared at her. She was beginning to cry. "Nani? Why are you crying?" he mocked. "What happened to all that confidence you just had? Don't worry, I'm not attacking you yet! That would spoil my fun!"

Sophia was shocked. "S-s-so y-you're not g-going to wipe me out...?"

"Hah! Heck no!" said Seto. "I'm just getting warmed up! Stick around, little girl! The fun's just beginning."

Sophia drew a card. "I think I'll play this monster card, face down in defense mode." She said. "I'll also play this face down and end my turn..."

"If I were you," said Seto, pointing to the field, "I would have switched my other monster into defense mode too!"

Sophia looked at the field. Her Flame Champion was still in attack mode! "Oops..." she muttered. 'I'm toast! I made a costly mistake...I'm doomed!!'

Seto drew his card. 'Yes!!' he thought. 'Just the card I needed! Now I'll show her never to mess with Seto Kaiba!!'

Sophia saw his evil smirk. 'Oh no! I don't like that look on his face...'

"It's over!" he said. "I play the magic card Soul Exchange, which allows me to sacrifice YOUR monsters to summon MINE!"

'Perfect!' she thought. 'Now I've got no defenses!!'

"And the monster I choose to summon is...Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!"

'NO!' she thought in surprise and despair. 'NOT ANOTHER ONE!! HOW?!'

"Wait! I will also use the magic card Polymerization to fuse my three dragons into...BLUE-EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!! MWA HA HA HA HAH!!!!!"

"What in heaven is...!!!! Yikes!" shrieked Sophia.

"Hmm...you lucked out, little girl." Said Seto. "Fusion monsters can't attack on the turn they were created. But next turn, I plan to wipe you out!!"

Sophia began to cry. 'So much for THAT plan...' she thought. 'I thought if I could defeat Seto in a duel, I would gain his respect...but...' Then, she caught sight of a card she had face down the entire duel. 'Oh!!' she thought. 'If I play that...I could win...! Should I give it a try...?'
