Disclaimer: The characters of Yugi-oh and Sailor Moon do not belong to
Kazooie or myself. So please do not sue us! Although I love a good sailor
Moon story this is the first crossover where the story only uses the names, looks and some personality.

Primarily a Yugi-oh plot line, which means there will be no transforming
into the sailor Scouts ever! Any made up people that we come up with like
the birth parents of the Kaiba brothers and Serena please don't steal them.

I have some people who will be OOC and whose ages will be different then
they were in the original Sailor Moon story. Serena will not be a ditz in
this story and will be as smart as Amy. Their boyfriends will all only be a year older then them and the outer scouts will not be in this story! (Too many characters as it is)

Author's note #1: I want to thank Kazooie who helped me put together the duel
style that I have been using! He also gave me the idea to rewrite the Yugi duel
which I originally made one-sided. Anyway as you're about to see the duels
Yugi will be in will be somewhat different depending on what cards I know or
can remember from the show so bear with me and let me know what you think!

Authors Note #2: For those of you wanting to know what Shiva the Ice Demon
Looks like I don't have a picture of her, however, I can describe her to
You! She is as tall as the Egyptian God Ra; she is mostly white with blue
vertical stripes running down both her sides. Shiva has long blue hair and
large white wings. Her effects as you will find out in this chapter are
instant attack only she doesn't go to the grave yard like Ra does, and the
amount of cards in your hand determines the attack and defense of the monster like Slyther.

Authors Note #3: I want to thank Rinicat who helped me come up with some
fresh new ideas for this story! Prepare to see things you've never seen in
the original series, but are in the MOVIE!

Authors Note #4: From now on I'm going to add Rinicat to the Author's list because she has helped to bring this story back from the brink of writer's block ten-fold. She helped me to figure out new things to do and has incorporated her own thoughts and idea's into it so Rinicat I thank you very much my friend for all the help in this story.

Added note: I'm not sure what Revival Jam's attack and defense are but please bare with me as I use that card.

Thunderbird and Rinicat are both sitting at a desk in the middle of the room going over different stories when Thunderbird looks up from her desk with a great big grin on her face.

"Well it's done!" She said wiping sweat from her brow.

"What's done Thunderbird?" Rinicat asked her looking up from her desk.

"Chapter 8 of Unknown Past is done Rinicat! You see it took some doing and the fact that you didn't put the Yugi vs. The Quiet One in the last chapter meant that I had to do it in this one. I must admit it took me a while but I managed to create the duel only a little differently then it was in the show.

Okay now how about we get this started.

Unknown Past

by Thunderbird and Rinicat


Last time...

"Big brother!" Mokuba exclaimed as he spotted him, through one of the many doors, once he arrived.

"What is it Mokuba? I trust you found Yugi?" Seto asked, with an impassive gaze, that flickers only a little at the sight of the young boy.

"Yeah and he's fine. It was those Rare Hunters again, but he managed to beat the guy. Anyway that's not important anymore but what I saw Serena Tsukino had in her deck is!" Mokuba stated.

"Very well what is it?" Seto asked intrigued by his brother's insistence to tell him. Not to mention hers was one of the names that were marked for close observation with the likes of Yugi, Joey and the others.

"Your never going to believe me, but Serena Tsukino has a fourth Blue Eyes White Dragon! She along with her friends said she won it in the Juuban District Tournament!" Mokuba exclaimed.

"Another Blue eyes...." Seto exclaimed turning from the monitors. His interest is definitely peaked now. For it was thought that he possessed the only ones in existence. And even then, those he had gone to a lot of trouble to obtain. He turned around for a second to give one final order.

"Keep an eye on Yugi and I want a report given to me immediately if any other Egyptian God card is used understand!" Seto ordered with his usual forceful coldness.

"Yes sir!" The techs said.

"Good then let's go Mokuba." Seto said walking out the door. "It's about time I started to duel..."

"Right behind you big brother!" Mokuba exclaimed running after him.

Now...

After splitting up from Serena and the others, Yugi's group decided to take a break and relax after the dropping Arkana off at the hospital. Approaching the park, Yugi; however decided that he needed a little time alone to himself so he took a walk to clear his head and think. Lost in thought, Yami concerned about his friend and host of sorts, manifests his sprit form and walks silently beside him, waiting for the youth to speak.

"Yami this whole ordeal with Merrik has me worried." Yugi commented quietly. His eyes are looking out and over the pond in the middle of the park.

"How so Yugi?" Yami replied. His curiosity is evident, as he to has been feeling the same thing.

"Well he seems to be after the Millennium Puzzle, that much we know for sure, but what if he is willing to do what ever it takes to get it?" Yugi asked.

"You mean like using our friends to get it?" The Spirit stated.

Nodding his head, Yugi turns around and leans against the bars that keep others from falling into the cold water below. "That's it exactly. I'm just afraid something will occur and we won't be able to stop him." Yugi said. "I couldn't stand it if any of them got hurt Yami."

"Yugi while I'm not sure what is going to happen during this tournament. I do know that together we can put and end to Merrik and his evil ways." Yami said. "You just have to believe in not only yourself, but your friends and the heart of the cards."

About to respond, Yugi notices that Yami had frozen and his millennium symbol had reappeared on his forehead. As if warning him of approaching danger....

"What's wrong Yami?" Yugi asked.

"I can sense a great evil!" The Spirit replied slowly as he began looking around, an evil that seems familiar to him, like that of a forgotten dream.

"Do you know where it's coming from?"

"No only that it's getting closer." Yami said.

It was at that moment that a strange person came running up to Yugi.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Yugi asked taking a defensive stance.

"Greetings Pharaoh, I challenge you to a duel!" The person said although Merrik's voice came from his lips. Instantly, both Yami and Yugi were on alert for the malice and hate in that voice was strong and growing even more.

"What do you want Merrik?" Yugi hissed. His temper is rising as the millennium symbol, glowing upon his forehead.

"Listen Pharaoh, I wish, to duel you through my mind slave! You win, you get one of the three God Cards...I win I get your millennium puzzle and your soul goes to the shadow realm." Merrik replied with a smile, that even through the Quiet One, Yugi can sense is full of evil.

"Why would you allow such a card out of your sight?" Yugi asked. His mind is reeling with the possibilities and natural curiosity of the power one such as that kind of card can wield.

"Who says I would be letting it out of my sight Pharaoh. Even if I should lose...I have other ways of getting it back..." Merrick replied. "Shall we duel or not?"

"Very well Merrik we shall duel!" Yugi said even as he morphed over into Yami. Cards are in place and the dueling device ready and willing to begin...

Grinning, the thought of ousting the Pharaoh and taking his power for his own, makes Merrick giddy with supreme and utter pleasure.

Merrik/The Quiet One: 4000 vs. Yugi: 4000

"Pharaoh to show you that I'm not really a bad sport I'll allow you to make the first move." Merrik stated calmly, as he begins his plan to eliminate Yugi.

"As you wish Merrik! I play Mammoth Graveyard in defense mode! I'll also play a card face down then I'll end my turn." Yami replied, he and Yugi both observing the Quiet one, with calm and precision. Looking for any sign of weakness in not only the Quiet one himself, but also in the cards that he is using, the pair know that this duel is significant in what is to come....

(1200/1800)

"Sorry but that move wasn't good enough Pharaoh! For I play Kaminari Attack in attack mode and I'll have it destroy your Mammoth Graveyard!" Merrick chuckled.

(1900/1400)

"Don't get to cocky Merrik this duel has only just begun." The Spirit stated quietly. His calm tone is annoying to the want to be ruler of all.

"Then make your next move by all means Pharaoh." Merrik replied with an almost jovial tone.

"I intend to, I shall play Mystical Elf in defense mode! I shall also place another card face down on the field Merrick." Yami replied with the assurance of a ruler, which compared to Merrick, makes the latter lacking in something.

(800/2000)

"I shall not be beaten by you, you pathetic hero." Merrik hissed.

"Then by all means make your move Merrik!" Yami said.

"Very well Pharaoh I play King of Yamimaki in attack mode!" Merrik began.

(2000/1530)

"I will then play the magic card Tremendous Fire! I'm sure you know the effects of this card right Pharaoh?" Merrik asked pasting a cocky grin on his mind slave's face.

"Yes Merrik I know full well how that card is played so do it and be done with it!" Yami growled underneath his breath, low enough that Merrick could hear it and chuckle with supreme and utter pleasure.

Merrik/The Quiet One: 3500 vs. Yugi: 3000

"It is now you turn Pharaoh!" Merrik laughed.

"Very well Merrik! I play Curse of Dragon in attack mode!" Yami started as he began to place out his cards in order.

(2000/1500)

"And then, I'll have my Curse of Dragon attack your Kaminari, card Merrik!" Yami finished as the dragon launched itself and fired.

Merrik/The Quiet One: 3400 vs. Yugi: 3000

"Your move...!" Yami replied.

"Very good Pharaoh, but not good enough!" Merrik stated.

"Just make your move Merrik!" Yami ordered.

Grinning softly from his boat, far from where the duel takes place, he has his mind slave draw another card and he starts to laugh at what he can do to end the existence of his rival.

"Now prepare for the end oh mighty Pharaoh! For this is the beginning of your defeat!" Merrik said with a grin of victory upon his features.

"Why?" Yami asked with doubt and derision in his voice.

"Because the card I've just drawn will insure my victory!" Merrik answered with a smile, that begins to chill the Spirit and his companion to the very edges of their souls.

"Oh no!" Yami stated.

"Oh yes and now I play Revival Jam in defense mode!" Merrik said placing the card on the field. As it appears it coalesces into a shapeless form that swirls with energy.

"Merrik that card is a weak monster! How is it that it shall be my downfall?" Yami replied, even though a feeling of desperation begins to wash over him. One that doesn't bode well for the outcome of this battle....

"You shall find out in due time, Pharaoh! Oh and before I forget I also activate the card known as the Slime Token Generator! This card will create slime tokens during each of my turns!" Merrik replied as a large dome like structure appeared next to the Quiet one. Within a pulsing generating light glows, brightly...that seems to make the Pharaoh nervous and filled with dread.

"I'll now end my turn!" Merrik said.

"Now Merrik, say goodbye to your monster! Curse of Dragon attack his Revival Jam!" Yami ordered.

"I don't think so Pharaoh!" Merrik said laughing as Revival Jam was apparently obliterated. The parts of it are blown away, by the fiery blast from the dragon.

"Merrik your monster is destroyed!" Yami replied with a smile, but that disappears as the Jam starts to piece itself together and reforms.

"You have a lot to learn Pharaoh. Revival Jam is an Immortal monster which means no ordinary attack will destroy it!" Merrik said with a sinister laugh as he enjoys, the look of pure and utter confusion upon his enemy's face.

"I'll find away around it Merrik you can count on that!" Yami answered with a low sound of outrage. His mind already at work on what cards that he can use to his advantage.

"Ah but before you do it will be too late to stop me from winning this duel and obtaining your puzzle." Merrik grinned as he already knew what he must do next.

"We'll see Merrik! Now go ahead and make your move." Yami ordered.

"Why thank you Pharaoh! Now then watch as my Slime Generator creates the first of my Slime Tokens which I need to summon a powerful monster!" Merrik said drawing a card from his deck as said monster swirls and something appears to its left, glowing with its own power....

"And which powerful monster shall that be Merrik?" Replied, the Spirit, in quiet thought, for he already knows the answer.

"Why that would be the Egyptian God Slyther the Sky Dragon!" Merrik said laughing as Yami began to get a look of abject panic and thought upon his features.

"Merrik, I won't allow you to summon that monster." Yami growled in response.

"There's nothing you can do to stop me!" Merrik said.

"Yes there is if I can destroy your Slime Generator before you're able to summon it, it will never come."

"Go ahead and try Pharaoh but it will do you no good!" Merrick laughs as he knows the other ability of the Revival Jam, thanks to a particular card, will activate in full force. "I place a card face down on the field and then I sacrifice Kaminari Attack in order to summon Super War Lion to the field in attack mode!"

(2300/2100)

"Your move, 'my Pharaoh'." Merrik replied with a sarcastic and amused tone to his voice.

"Now then Merrik I shall put an end to your plans to summon your Egyptian God by destroying your Slime Generator." Merrik said.

"Go ahead and try Pharaoh." Merrik gloated. His glee apparent as the Pharaoh makes his move.

"Fine I will! Curse of Dragon attack his Slime Generator."

Merrik laughed in pleasure as Revival Jam came in-between the Slime Generator and Yami's monster, much to the Pharaoh's surprise and astonishment.

"What! How is that possible?" Yami asked.

"Simple Pharaoh! With the help of my Magic card!" Merrik said as his face down card flipped over and energy from it, merged with the Revival Jam, that glowed with infinite power. "This card is known as Jam Defender and it allows my Revival Jam to protect any other monster I choose." He replied. The glee in his eyes is overwhelming his senses as the Pharaoh seems to be lost and confused. "With that, you know I have won..."

"This isn't the end of it Merrick...I will win this duel..."

"I hardly think so Pharaoh. I have backed you into a corner that will be extremely hard to get out of. Now to begin your downfall! Watch as another Slime token is created!" Merrik said as yet another slime token exited the Slime Generator.

"Now then, I shall place another card face down on the field, and then I will have my Super War Lion attack you Curse of Dragon!" Merrik said with a sinister smile as his monster brought down Yami's. "And for good measure, just to really rub it in I play another Tremendous Fire card!" Merrik exclaimed with joy at making Yami lose.

Merrik/The Quiet One: 2900 vs. Yugi: 1700

"Now it's your turn Pharaoh." Merrik simply said.

"Fine I sacrifice my Mystical Elf in order to summon my Dark Magician!" Yami replied. His mind is already reeling with a plan...he just hopes that he has the time to execute it....

(2500/2100)

"Ah you fell right into my trap Pharaoh for I activate the trap card, Nightmare Steel Cage. This card will keep you from attacking me for three turns!" Merrik said as a steel cage formed around Yami and his Dark Magician.

"No!" Yami hissed.

"Sorry but that's the way it is Pharaoh." Merrik said laughing.

"Fine Merrik, make your move." Yami replied. His mind is focusing on his cards, which seem to glow with a hidden power, as if they hear his call.

"Oh very good Pharaoh now it is time to meet the instrument of your destruction!" Merrik said as another Slime Token appeared. His grin is evident as the sky darkens around them as the energy being emitted increases tenfold.

"Now, I sacrifice my three Slime Tokens in order to summon Slyther the Sky Dragon!" Merrik yelled as his Slime Tokens disappeared in a swirl of brilliant energy. Then all of a sudden, a large red Dragon appeared over the field. It's tail circling their location as its two mouths roar into the sky with tremendous rage and power.

Yami observing this knows that he is in trouble.

-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-

In the meantime, both are unaware as Seto has found them, thanks to the scientists who had notified him, the minute, Yugi had begun to play. Having observed the last few moves, the cold and emotionless young man, grinned with a quiet sense of delight. Mokuba, having seen the dragon appear, remains unaware and prepares to move forward, to investigate the duel, when his brother stops him.

"Seto?"

Saying nothing, Mokuba studies his brother's features and realizes what he is doing. Deciding against interfering in the battle, he watches as Yugi reaches for a card, as he is brother studies for what the King of Games can do, to get himself out of this fix.

-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8

Yami, gazes at his cards, and begins to feel the doubt in his heart...

"Yami, you can't give up...." Yugi replies as he manifests himself.

"I do not know, what I should do Yugi...I am prevented from attacking...no matter what I draw...on the next turn...he will destroy us...."

"No he won't!" Yugi replied. His simple belief washes over them both. "Merrick is to evil, we will find a way Yami. We must!"

"But Yugi..."

"Believe...Believe in the cards Yami!"

As the Spirit looks into the eyes of his childlike host, Yami grins and nods his head. Drawing a card, Yami seems to smile in relief.

"Merrick, this will seal the duel. I win with this one card, I have drawn."

"Do you really think so Pharaoh? For on my next turn, you and your Dark Magician will be destroyed and in the Shadow Realm!"

"Then make your move Merrick..."

"Fine...I will attack Slyther...and destroy the Dark Magician!"

"Then do so..."

Watching as the great god, fires upon his enemy, Merrick relishes as a mushroom cloud of smoke emerges from the blast of the great God Card. As it disperses, he notices something, which causes him to scream in rage.

"How could you survive?"

"Simple...don't you recognize, what is in front of me, Merrick....?" The Spirit relished, as he replied.

Looks at the field, Merrick shrieks as the Revival Jam has appeared upon Yugi's side, with flare and is already piecing himself together.

"How..."

"Simple Merrick...as you attacked I activated my magic card, Mind Control...as you know, with this card, I can take control of any of the monsters from your end of the field, and I chose him...but that's not all...." The Spirit replies as the God prepares to fire from his second mouth, for which Merrick must discard his entire hand to do so.

"Destroy the Dark Magician again!" Merrick screams as Yami watches with a quiet sense of anticipation.

As the blast strikes again, Merrick watches as the Revival Jam reconstitutes itself, and the God Card prepares to fire....

"How can this be...!" Merrick growls.

"It is simple really, because of Slyther's attack strength, he does have one weakness; he must destroy the monster that is on the field. Therefore, he will keep firing and you will keep drawing to add even more cards to your hand and then to the graveyard...for you forgot the one important rule of Duel Monsters Merrick..."

"Which is..."

"At any given time...you can have only five cards in your hand...."

With that said, the Quiet One draws the five cards as per, the rules of the game. In doing so Slyther fires at the Dark Magician, and once again Revival Jam moves to defend the trapped magician in its gilded cage...repeatedly it happens over and over until finally, the Quiet One has simply...

Run out of cards....

"I win Merrick...now hand over Slyther and your locator card."

With that said, Merrick sets about to flee, when Mokuba steps forward along with Seto...foiled by their mere presence/ Merrick moves and gestures for Odeon to commence with Plan B...and it involves the Pharaoh's friends...especially one in particular.

"Here Pharaoh, but do not plan on keeping it for a long...I fully intend on having it back...." With that said, the Quiet One turns around and runs....

"Thank goodness that's over!" Yami exclaimed as he reverted back into Yugi. He then looked at his watch to see what time it was and almost paniced. "Oh no it's that late already! I better go or the others will be worried!" Yugi yelled as he began to run off.

"Hey Yugi where do you think your going! Get back here and duel me for that Egyptian God card now!!!" Seto ordered.

"Sorry Kiaba but I can't I need to find my friends!" Yugi said as he ran off.

"Yugi get back here this isn't over!" Seto yelled.

"No time Seto sorry!" Yugi called back over his shoulder.

"Mokuba listen carefully! I'm going after Yugi, while I'm doing that I want you to head back towards the command base and keep an eye out for Serena Tuskino understand!" Seto ordered.

"Sure thing big brother!" Mokuba said shaking his head in affirmative.

"Good then let's get moving!" Seto said as both boys ran off to complete their missions.

8888888888

Elsewhere in the city Serena and her friends were walking near the warehouse district when a young man came up to them.

"So I see you to are a duelist!" He exclaimed.

"Yes I am. Who wants to know?" Serena asked politely. Her annoyance, at his attitude is peeking out of her calm expression, in little bits and pieces.

"My name is Eric Gillian and I want to duel you right here and right now!" Eric boldly stated with a smug look on his face.

"Very well but I think it only fare to warn you that my name is Serena Tsukino and I play hardball when it comes to Duel Monsters!" Serena returned, her irritation evident now, causing the others to back away.

"Ah so you are the infamies Serena Tsukino that I have heard so much about! Well then it shall be an honor to steal your thunder!" Eric laughed as he activated his duel disk.

"I'm sorry but I'm afraid there can be only one winner in this duel and that shall be me!" Serena said as she too activated her duel disk at the same time that she shifted over to Serenity.

"Come on Sere clean this guy's clock!" Terra yelled. Her enthusiasm is strong and ready to support her friend.

"Yeah show him what it means to mock a champion duelist!" Mina added.

"Shhhh! Quiet girls the match is about to start!" Darien ordered. His gaze riveted on the petite blonde in the corner.

"Sorry!" Both girls said looking towards the ground.

"Let's duel!"

Eric: 4000 vs. Serena: 4000

"Go ahead Miss Tsukino lady's first!" Eric replied as he bowed to her, his arm gesturing to the field.

"You are too kind...." She replied. "I play Mystical Elf in defense mode; I also place one card face down. I'll then end my turn." Serenity said as she placed said cards on the field. Her serene and cool beauty is evident as he looks at her, studying for any chink he can use to his advantage.

(800/2000)

"Oh that was a great opening move Serena now try this on for size! I play Crawling Dragon # 2 in attack mode plus I play the card Dragon Gunfire which allows my dragon to attack your life points directly!" Eric said playing both monster and magic card. The two combining as the dragon opens it mouth and envelops her in its heat searing attack.

(1600/1200)

Eric: 4000 vs. Serena: 3200

"Good work on destroying eight hundred of my life points Eric!" She replied, with an amused gaze.

"Why thank you very much Serena. I believe it is your move." Eric said with a smug grin.

"Come on Serena you can do it!" Lita encouraged. The tall red head, watching with overall excitement and curiosity as she watches the cards come to life under her friend's hands.

"I know Lita!" Serenity said as she drew another card. "Alright Eric let's see how you deal with this move! I play Princess Tsurugi in defense mode, but don't get too attached because she won't be staying, for now I sacrifice her in order to summon Curse of Dragon in attack mode!" Serenity stated as the woman on the field vanished, to be replaced by the lizard like creature.

(2000/1500)

"Ha sorry you can't attack me this turn little girl, but them the rules!" Eric taunted.

"Just make you move boy and be quiet!" Serenity ordered as she began to grow angry at her opponent. First the attitude and now this...except for the one girl earlier, all the ones who have challenged her...

"Fine! Then first things first! My Dragon Gunfire magic card shall take another eight hundred life points from you!" Eric laughed.

Eric: 4000 vs. Serena: 2400

"Then I'll play Two-Headed King Rex in defense mode but like you I too shall be sacrificing my monster in order to summon Garma Sword in attack mode!" Eric chortled as the monsters disappeared from the field to be replaced by another.

(2550/2150)

"I will now end my turn." Eric said smiling.

"Oh great he just summoned a really strong monster!" Rei exclaimed.

"Yeah and Serena has yet to take any life points away from that jerk!" Terra fumed. Her nose is wrinkling in obvious frustration, as she watches.

"Calm down girls I'm sure Serena has a plan up her sleeve." Zack announced. "Or at least I hope she does..." He whispers, earning a whack from Amy who had heard him as she speaks as well.

"Zack's right guys and anyway Serena needs our support so let's give all the support we can give her in order for her to beat this creep!" Amy said adding in her own two cents.

"Boy Amy I didn't know you had it in you!" Mina exclaimed while laughing which caused Amy to blush.

"Well he is a creep and he irritates me...."

"Will you idiots just shut up!" Eric ordered.

"No Eric they don't have to shut up and they're not idiots! So leave them alone. Now then it is time for me to go on the offensive! I play the magic card Hinotama! This card inflicts five hundred damage points to your life points directly." Serenity said playing her magic card.

Eric: 3500 vs. Serena: 2400

"Oh so what I'm still winning this duel little girl!" Eric hissed.

"Oh I'm not done yet little boy!" Serenity hissed right back. "I guess you forgot about my dragon huh? Well here's a reminder Eric! Curse of Dragon attack his Crawling Dragon now!"

Eric: 3100 vs. Serena: 2400

"You'll pay for that you witch!" Eric yelled.

"I doubt that Eric now then before I end my turn I place one more card face down." Serenity said doing so and then looking at him, calm and with the beginnings of a smile upon her features.

"Good now let me see here what to do next!" Eric said as he drew a card then went through his hand. "I know I'll place a monster face down in defense mode then I'll play the card Tremendous Fire. I'm sure you know how this card works?" Eric asked.

"Of course I do, at a cost of five hundred of your life points you can inflict one-thousand damage points to my life points." Serenity said.

"Very good I'm glad you're not as stupid as you look!" Eric laughed as his magic card went to work.

Eric: 2600 vs. Serena: 1400

"That's not all now my Garma Sword destroy her Curse of Dragon now!" Eric ordered.

Eric: 2600 vs. Serena: 850

"Ahhhh!" Serenity cried as the shock from Eric's attack hit her.

"No Serena!" Darien yelled.

"Rena are you okay?" Terra asked.

"Yeah I think so." Serenity winced as she regained her senses.

"Serena don't worry you can still do this, just believe in yourself!" Kevin replied as he and the others helped her up.

"Yeah Sere Kevin's right! This fool has nothing on you!" Nathan agreed.

"Oh please she's down to her last life points there's no way she'll win and to prove my point I'll end my turn to let her try and mount a defense." Eric said laughing.

"Eric there is something you should realize!" She replied with a slight smile.

"Oh yeah and what's that?" He asked.

"Never count your chickens before their hatched!" Serenity said as she pulled a card from her deck. "Now I shall show you the beginning of your end Eric! I play the magic card Swords of Revealing Light this card will keep you from attacking for three turns!"

"No, this can't be happening to me!" Eric yelled.

"Alright Serena!" Terra exclaimed with glee.

"That's the way to do things Serena." Rei added with flourish.

"Now finish this chump off Sere!" Justin shouted as his arms wrapped around the dark haired girl's waist.

"Right Justin...." Serenity said with a smile.

"So what she still won't beat me in three turns!" Eric laughed.

"We'll see Eric and now to begin my offensive comeback!" Serenity said as she pulled a card from her hand. "Now I play Harpie Lady in defense mode! I'll then end my turn."

(1300/1400)

"Sorry but that card won't do much against Garma Sword once Sword of Revealing Light is gone. Now I'll place one card face down and end my turn." Eric said.

"Okay now let's see I'll play Maha Vialo in defense mode then I'll play one card face down and end my turn." Serenity said.

(1550/1400)

"What are you up to?" Eric asked.

"You'll just have to wait and see now won't you?" Serenity returned.

"Fine I'll place one card face down, your move." Eric said, as he still shows signs of believing he will win.

"Thank you so much now then I play Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress in defense mode then I play the magic card Pot of Greed!" Serenity said revealing her face down magic card.

(1400/1200)

"Why would you wait to play that card now?" Eric asked as her little smile starts to make him tremble. For it is not one of loss, but of victory.

"You will see!" Serenity replied with a smirk on her face. "Now, prepare yourself for the sight of a monster the likes of which you have never seen! I sacrifice my three monsters in order to summon the Egyptian God, Shiva the Ice Demon!" Serenity yelled as she placed her God card on the field.

Watching as all around, people begin to back away; the ice continues falling tremendously from the sky, allowing it to be seen for any direction. A woman emerges from within as it lands, and then bursts with a wave of her icy blue hand, revealing her stately form.

(5000/5000)

"How is it you have a monster that powerful?" Eric cried out in fear and awe, as the being radiates pure and simple power.

"That is for me to know and for you never to find out! Now then Shiva obliterate his Garma Sword now! DIAMOND DUST!" Serenity ordered. The attack proceeds as the woman begins to twirl around gaining speed, gathering the cold air to air, and everyone watches as it materializes all about her. Finally as she stops, the pure ice energy forms into several spears, and aims true to target.

Eric: 150 vs. Serena: 850

"This can't be happening to me! I was supposed to win this duel!" Eric yelled.

"I'm sorry but this is happening to you Eric. Now I'll end my turn so you can make your last move." She replied, as she sees the look of panic and defeat.

"Fine I play Succubus Knight in defense mode I'll then end my turn." Eric said making his last move.

(1650/1300)

"Alright then let's end this Eric! I play Ancient Elf in attack mode." Serenity said.

(1450/1200)

"Noooo!"

"Yes now my Ancient Elf, destroy his Succubus Knight!" Serenity ordered her weaker monster to which it obeyed, gladly.

"Shiva obliterate the last of his life points!" Serenity ordered thereby ending the duel.

Eric: 0 vs. Serena: 850

"No it's not possible! You must have cheated somehow!" Eric shouted in denial, despite the evidence before his eyes.

"Yes it is possible and no I didn't cheat! Now hand over your rarest card and a locator card as per the regulations of this tournament." Serenity said.

"Very well here I hope you're happy!" Eric hissed as he handed over both items.

"Yes I am now, be gone with you!" Serenity ordered.

"Fine, now good riddance...." Eric said as he walked off.

"Alright Serena you did it!" Terra exclaimed.

"That was so amazing Rena." Mina added.

"Thank you both very much for your kind words." Serenity said as she shifted back into Serena.

"So what do you want to do now Serena?" Darien asked.

"Well since I finally have all the locator cards I need I think I'll take some time to myself to gather my thoughts. Is that okay with you guys?" Serena asked with a kind smile.

Darien giving her a look of concern, she can't help but smile and place her hand to his cheek. "I will be fine...."

"Okay..."

"Sure Sere we'll see you later. Come on guys let's go get something to eat." Amy suggested.

"Good idea dear." Zack agreed.

"Then what are we waiting for. MUNCHIES!" Mina yelled as she and the others left Serena alone.

--Those guys are great!-- Serena thought to herself.

--Yes they are aren't they Serena?-- Serenity chuckled as the two watched their friends take off.

--Well let's go take a look around!-- Serena thought as the two friends walked off towards the open water.

"I actually liked it, by the way I have kind of been playing Final Fantasy lately and I remembered the way you described Shiva is a lot like the game...so I kind of borrowed some of her attacks from there as well Ok?" The young woman pauses as she shows her Shiva from the game and that the similarities are kind of close.
