Chapter 3 Tricking the Trickster

"And now behold as the true power of Fiendish Trickery begins to reveal itself!"

Bloodfiend Kuribo(2200/1800) and Bloodfiend Squad(2400/0) reappeared on the field, each twice their former size and looking twice as menacing.

Dustin's delight grew as he saw Yami's eye grow wider. "Yes Pharaoh, your beginning to understand that as long as Fiendish Trickery is in play you cannot win! HAHAHA!"

"Well Yami, I think I'll be a nice guy and end my turn after laying this card face down, enjoy your experience in this tournament while it lasts.

Yami's brow furrowed at the problem. He did not like what was happening here. Every time he destroyed a monster, it would come back twice as strong, and Bloodfiend Squad hurts him everytime it's destroyed. He looked at his hand, there was the possibility for a strong combo here, but he need just one card.

Yami swept his hand to his deck and focused on the top card.

'Heart of the Cards, guide me.'

He drew, and glanced at the card, his trademark smirk appeared.

"These Darkner Cards are nothing more than an annoyance, behold as I destroy you! I will first sacrifice my Sangan in order to summon forth the Summoned Skull(2500/2000)!" A horned skeleton with muscle tissue in-between it's bones materialized on the field and a menacing grow escaped through it's undead teeth. "And I lay one card face down. And then I play Mystical Space Typhoon! I can now destroy any magic or trap card I wish, and I choose your Darkner Card!"

"Not so fast Pharaoh, I activate my own trap card, Trap Jammer! This negate the effects of your silly little Typhoon, sorry but I'm not that easy. HAHAHA!"

Yami smirked as his opponents false sense of superiority, "You've activated my trap now Dustin." The arian duelist became even more pale. "Makiou the Magical Mist! It negates the effects of your magic and trap cards for this turn as well as powering up my Summoned Skull's(3125/2000) electric attack!" The holographic version of Fiendish Trickery exploded into vapor. "Now my monster, attack his Bloodfiend Kuribo!"

The Summoned Skull charged up and shot lightning out at the beast. It struck the menacing savage and destroyed him.

Yami 3500

Dustin 3075

Dustin growled in his throat. "You haven't won yet Pharaoh, I still have plenty of life points and I will defeat you!"

"I wouldn't count on it Dustin, I still have this one card in my hand." Yami stated, gesturing towards the innocent looking playing card. "And with it's help I will now put an end to our duel, I play POT OF GREED!" Yami drew to cards as sweat started to pour off Dustin. Yami looked at the cards and smiled a victorious smile. "Watch now as I put an end to you Mr. Dawes! I play Gaia The Fierce Knight(2300/1800)!" A knight in blue and red armor with two red lances appeared on the field and glared at his masters enemy from atop his steed. "Now, attack his life points directly!" Gaia charged and ran Dustin through sending him sprawling.

Yami 3500

Dustin 625

Dustin was shaken, but still mouthy, "HAH! For all your talk I'm still here!"

Yami just shook his head, "You just don't get it do you, you are done for! I now play the last card in my hand, Chaos Ritual! I now sacrifice my Summoned Skull and my Gaia The Fierce Knight to bring forth a beast of ultimate power, and the boundaries of Light and Darkness collide, now, appear my, CHAOS SOLDIER! (3000/2300)" A red haired man in blue armor wielding a large one edge sword and a shield appeared on the field with a deep bass grunt.

Dustin's eyes widened in shock, he was done for.

Yami didn't even bother to raise his voice when delivering the finishing blow, "And now, my soldier, liberate him of his final life points, and whatever key pieces he may have."

The Chaos Soldier swung his sword at the ground, and sparks flew across the field and enveloped the hired duelist, and as the smoke cleared, he lie sprawled out across the floor, his life points at zero.

Author's Notes: Sorry this chapter is so terribly short! I was pressed for time and I had to sqeeze this chapter into my schedule. I find it kind of funny that Dustin didn't even get one freaking turn in this chapter though. Oh well, please review with critisism, praise, suggestions, or duelists. Just please review! Thanks!
