Disclaimer: Look at some other chapters for that
Anubis: 2000LP
Yami: 2000LP
"Duel!" Yami and Anubis both shouted at the same time. They both drew five cards and Anubis had the first move,
"I lay two cards face-down and I play this card in defence mode, your turn."
Yami drew a card and looked at his hand,
'There's no monster here that can do anything,'
"I lay one card face-down and I play the field magic card Yami," he told him, "Your move."
Anubis drew his card and started to chuckle quietly to himself,
"I play this card in defence mode as well. Your turn."
Yami started to feel that Anubis was toying with him as he drew his card,
'Curse Of Dragon, he'd beat his defence monsters easily,' he thought to himself,
"I play Curse Of Dragon in attack mode (5/2000/1500). Dragon Flame attack now!" Yami commanded as the dragon came forth from behind him. Curse Of Dragon attacked a powerless zombie card and obliterated it from the field,
"Your zombie is gone. Just like the last time, I'm still waiting Anubis," Yami teased,
"I'm just getting started," Anubis replied as he drew another card,
"I play Sphinx Guardian in defence mode (5/1700/2400)."
A giant, stone Sphinx appeared in front of him and Tea looked up in awe,
'Yami had better hurry up, this place is giving me the chills,' she thought as she held Yugi's limp body tighter,
"Not bad, but not good enough," Yami told him as he drew another card, "I play the Dark Magician in attack mode (7/2500/2100) to destroy your guardian." The mage destroyed the stone guardian,
"And your wimpy Dark Magician is sent back to your hand! Ha beat that!"
"Oh well, I'll use Curse Of Dragon to destroy your other monster!" The monster was destroyed but Anubis still didn't seem bothered,
"Come on, where's the challenge gone? Oh wait, it went while you were in the Puzzle, how stupid of me," Anubis joked at him as he drew a card, "Pass."
Yami drew a card, placed one face-down on the field, "You've lost again dog god, Curse of Dragon attack with Dragon Flame!"
"I don't think so. You activated my trap! Call Of The Haunted," Anubis shouted as he activated his trap card and a zombie appeared in defence mode and took the damage from the dragon's attack. Yami stood there with a little bit of shock in his eyes but he wasn't scared,
"Do you really think that I would be slowed down by that card?" he taunted as his opponent drew another card.
"For this turn, I'll lay this card face-down. And summon the Flame Cerberus (6/2100/1800) in attack mode!" Anubis shouted as the three headed deranged dog from hell emerged.
"Attack Cerberus, with flame claw" Anubis said, as the huge dog, bounced over towards Yami's dragon.
The massive three headed mutt, exerted its war cry, and leaped on top of the dragon, sliced it in half with its sharp claws.
Yami: 1900 LP
Anubis: 2000 LP
It was Yami's turn; he drew a card from the top of his deck. And then summoned his Dark Magician from his hand.
The brave Magician showed its face once again.
"Dark magic attack!" Yami shouted.
The dark magician held tightly his staff, and exerted a powerful force, which destroyed the dog in one fatal blast.
Anubis: 1600 LP
"It looks like we are evenly matched Yami" Anubis said, as he drew another card.
Anubis revealed his face-down card.
"I use the magic card Final flame, which results you to lose 600 Life points," Anubis teased, as he grinned.
Yami: 1300 LP
"That's not all I'm doing for this turn, I activate this card" Anubis said, as he flipped over his face-down card.
"Ookazi, which inflicts 800 points of direct damage to your life points, Ha ha ha this duel is nearly over" Anubis laughed as Yami's life points riddled away, in seconds.
Yami: 500 LP
"Errggg!" Yami shrieked, as his Life Points decreased,
"Yugi? ... Yugi!" Tea shouted and Yami looked behind him,
"What's going on?"
"His face, it's becoming paler every time you lose Life Points,"
"What?!" Yami turned to face Anubis, "You knew this would happen didn't you!" he demanded out of him,
"... Yes and you're going to lose and you won't be able to stop this either! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Anubis revealed before bursting into fits of laughter again.
Yami drew a card, knowing that the fate of Yugi's life was hanging in the balance.
"I'll lay this card facedown, and put this monster into defence mode," Yami indicated, as he pulled the cards from his hand and laid them on the field.
Anubis drew a card.
"For this move, I'll lay this card face-down and then I'll summon the Parasite of the soul (2/300/800) in attack mode, and I'm going to attack your face-down monster.
"I don't think so, I'll counter with Mirror force!" Yami shouted, as a blanket of energy protected Yami's monster and deflected the attack back at Anubis' monster. The pathetic parasite was destroyed.
Anubis: 1300 LP
Yami drew a card.
"I'll place this card face-down and summon Kuribo (1/300/200) on the field in defence, and that's it for now" Yami told him, as he passed play on.
"Is that your only monster left? Awww am I too good for you?" Anubis teased, "If that's the case then you're simply defeated in this next turn."
It was Anubis' turn; he drew the card from the top of his deck.
"Yami this duel has trailed on for long enough, and now its time to wind this up whole thing" Anubis stated, as he gave Yami his evil glare.
"I summon the undead creature of destruction, Nosferatu Lich (7/2600/2900), in attack mode. Attack with deadly force of the demon!" Anubis shouted, as the huge cloaked skull, rose from the ground, and released its horrid screech.
"Now Attack, that puny little Kuribo" Anubis commanded.
The lich strided over to the three-toed hairball, but Yami played his face-down card, Multiply before the wicked creature attacked.
The lone, small monster became many, and defended Yami and his Life points, from the larger monster's attack.
It was now Yami's turn.
He drew a card that sealed his victory over the over grown dog.
"Humm, I'll lay this card facedown and then I will use the magic card Pot of greed, to draw two cards from the top of my deck" Yami said, as he picked up 2 cards.
The first card he drew was Silver fang (3/1200/800)
And the second was the Black luster soldier (8/3000/2500)
Yami placed down Gaia the fierce knight (7/2300/2100) on the field, along with Silver fang (3/1200/800), which accompanied Gaia. Also surrounded by many Kuribo, still multiplying as he spoke.
"This is the beginning of your demise Anubis!" Yami said, as he laid down the card that would summon a great powerful warrior.
"Go black luster ritual!" Yami shouted as he laid the magic card on the field.
"And to evoke its great powers I must make sacrifices, so I'll offer Silver fang and Gaia the fierce knight" Yami stated.
Two identical pots appeared, each exerting smoke and flames. The skull sign in the centre of the jars glared bright red, as Yami's monsters were sacrificed, the gates of chaos opened. Only to bring forth the supreme "Black luster soldier" (8/3000/2500).
"Not him!" Anubis cried in shame, as he now knew that his Lich had had it.
The great soldier of chaos landed, he kneeled down just feet away from Anubis' monster. His shiny red hair blew in the wind, as he waited for his master's command.
"Chaos blade attack!" Yami shouted, as now the chaos soldier made his move.
He leaped forth-just inches away from the skull; he raised his arm, which held onto his large sword. He then roared in anger and sliced down his sword directly through the Lich, rapidly causing the Lich to split in half, and destruct.
Anubis: 900 LP
"The tied of this battle is changing Anubis" Yami stated, as his black luster soldier stood strongly on the field, waiting for his next call.
"My move" Anubis indicated, as he drew a card.
Anubis viewed closely, the card he drew.
"Yes great, my reborn combo can now commence" Anubis said, as he put down a magic card.
"Go "Monster reborn" (Magic) and I summon the "Nosferatu Lich" (7/2600/2900) the tall cloaked undead zombie appeared yet again.
Anubis laid two magic cards on the field.
"I use these two cards to power my Lich up 600 points," Anubis stated, as the states of the Lich rose.
"Nosferatu Lich" (7/3200/3500), "And now my Lich is powerful enough to beat your monster, attack corrosive breath flame!" Anubis shouted as his zombie walked forward.
"I activate "Spell binding circle" (Trap)" Yami stated, as he revealed the face-down card.
A multi-coloured lightning ring coiled around the Lich, and decreased its attack by 700 points. The Lich tried to brake free, but could not withstand the great energy of the ring.
"Nosferatu Lich" (7/2500/3500)
"Nooooooo" Anubis moaned, as he watched his Lich struggle to try and brake free.
"My turn Anubis" Yami indicated, as he drew a card.
"I activate "De-spell" (Magic) Yami said as he laid it on the field.
"With De-spell it will remove one of those "Violet crystals" (Magic) off your zombie, which means that its attack is decreased 300 points more" Yami said, as the states of the Lich lowered.
"Nosferatu Lich" (7/2200/3200)
Yami pulled out a card from his hand and played it.
"I use (Cyclone) (Magic) its magic removes one trap, or magic card on the field. And I choose "Violet crystal" (Magic) the attack and defence of your Lich are yet again lowered" Yami said, as he was preparing to attack.
"Nosferatu Lich" (7/1900/2900)
"Now its time for your Lich to go but first I use this "Gaia power" (Magic) its magic ability increases the attack of all the earth type monsters on the field the great power of my chaos soldier have now rose" Yami told him, as the chaos soldier gained power.
"Black luster soldier" (8/3500/2100)
"Chaos blade attack!" Yami shouted as his monster sliced into the Lich causing him to explode yet again, and Anubis to loose 900 LP's
The fierce brave knight unleashed its fatal blade attack, causing the LP's of Anubis to decrease to 0.
Anubis: 0 LP
"How could I lose? I had better cards this time, there was no way I could of ..."
"Anubis, you promised now keep it!" Yami demanded as he scowled at him,
"Fine, here's that boys life, now take it and leave me alone," Anubis told him before he left for his realm and the Shadow Realm disappeared.
Yugi started to regain consciousness in Tea's arms,
"Yami, he's coming around," she shouted to him, "Yugi, can you hear me?" she gently asked him,
"T ... Tea. Wh ... where am I?" he eventually managed to ask her as he opened his eyes,
"Welcome back young one," Yami told him as he walked over to them,
"Y ... Yami. Is that you?"
"Yes and you're in the pyramid we explored yesterday. Do you remember anything from last night?"
"All I remember is that I fell asleep on my bed and feeling a little bit weird when I woke up," Yugi quietly told them,
"Don't you think that its time for us to be getting back to the hotel? Everyone will be wondering where we are," Tea asked Yami as she stood up, with Yugi still in her arms,
"Yes, I'll go see if the coast is clear," he told her before putting his head through the 'sealed' door, "Its clear, we can go now,"
"Ok," Tea told him, "Are you going to be ok Yugi?"
"I think so," he replied as he broke away from her grip and tried to walk to the other side of the room, but resulted in him almost falling over when he got near Yami. Luckily Yami caught him,
"Almost Yugi, let me carry you until you feel stronger. You did just get your life back after all," he told him before picking him up and carrying him in his arms.
Tea went first through the door before Yami disabled the illusion on the door that he'd put on it earlier and walked down the corridor,
"Yugi, what did you mean earlier by that dream?" he asked him,
"I had this really strange dream but it doesn't matter," he answered,
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Tea was waiting for them at the entrance of the pyramid,
"It looks like I'm about to go back into the puzzle now, don't worry about your strength you'll feel stronger when I disappear ok," Yami informed Yugi as he let go of him and walked outside the pyramid. When Yami went back into the puzzle Yugi felt a bit stronger and insisted that they run back to the hotel,
"Why do you wanna run back?" she asked him,
"Well, they all think that I'm in bed don't they? So the sooner we get back, the better chance that they won't know that I was gone,"
"I get what you mean now. If you wanna run that's fine with me," Tea told him before they started to run back into town where they met up with Shadi again,
"Hi again, what do you want?" Tea asked him,
"To warn you about the future,"
"What's gonna happen?" Yugi slowly asked him,
"There will be more people after your Millenium Item, this was only the beginning. Take great care from now on," Shadi warned him before turning to leave,
"Wait. Can you help me in any way at all?" Yugi asked,
"I'm afraid not, but you have all the help you need already."
