"I'll flip my face dwon monster, the Invader of the Throne (1300/1700)
which allows me to switch control for one of your monsters; in this case
your only monster on the field, the Giant Red Seasnake. Now I'll use your
monster to attack my Invader, destroying her."
"I'm afraid that it's the Seasnake that will be heading to the graveyard Fader."
"What?"
"I activate my trap card Mirror Force!" Vico shouted. "All of your monsters are destroyed!"
"I can't do anything but end my turn," Fader said solemnly.
"Nowe I'll sacrifice your Invader of the Throne for my Fisherbeast (2400/2000). And since you have no monsters on the field I can attack you directly. Fisherbeast attack!"
"You aren't the only one with traps Vico," Fader said. "I'll activate my Magic Cylinder card which deals you damage equal to your monster's attack. You're out Vico." Fader could feel beads of sweat on his forehead. This was getting intense. They were coming at him pretty hard. He didn't belive that he was going to last through all of them. You will hold, a voice came. They have a weakness, you just have to exploit it.
"That means I'm next," Arras said stepping forward.
Fader was back to square one. He had no cards on the field and he hadn't been able to do anything to improve the condition of his Life Points. "I'll lay one monster in defense mode and end my turn."
"I'll lay one card on the field and then summon hte Queen's Double (350/300) in attack mode. And since my monster has the ability to attack your Life Poiunts directly, you can't do anything except watch your Life Points drop even further."
Fader: 2450, Arras: 1500
"You monster may be able to attack me directly, but its weak attack power make you very vulnerable," fader explained. "Now I tribute my face down monster for the Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700). Now whan I attack, you'll be out and I'll be on to the fourth duelist."
"Not so fast Fader," Arras interrupted. "Your monster may be stronger, but my Life Points are safe as long as you can't attack."
"How do you plan on stopping me?"
"With this," Arras answered. "I activate my trap card, Gravity Bind. Now no monster whose level is four or higher can attack."
"I may not be able to attack you, but it's going to take you a long time to whittle down my Life Points with such a weak monster. I'll lay 2 cards face down and end my turn."
"My monster isn't going to be so weak for very much longer. Not after I equip it with hte rare and powerful Axe of Despair to increase its attack power by 1000 points. Now my Queen's Doub;e will attack you for 1350 points of damage."
"You did exactly what I expected you to do Arras," Fader said wih a smile. " I activate my trap card, Disarmament which destroys you Axe, so I only take 350 more points of damage."
Fader: 2150, Arras: 1500.
"It still does you no good Fader," Arras interrupted. "With my Gravity Bind on the field you can't attack. And I have plenty more equip magic cards to power up my monsters."
"That's what my other face down card is for Arras."
"What card?"
"The Mystical Space Typhoon, which removes your Gravity Bind from the field. Dark Magican Girl attack the Queen's Double! That's three down, and only three more opponent's to go."
Fader: 2150, Sabin: 2000, Barret: 2500, Potemkin: 3000.
Fader was starting to fell better about himself. He was at the halfway point of this gauntlet match and he was now on the up side in terms of Life Points. And with a strong monster on his field he was in good position.
"Well I just finihsed my turn Sabin," Fader said. "So it's your move."
"This is as far as you go Fader," vowed Sabin. "You won't get any further than me. I'll lay two cards face dwon and end my turn."
"I don't see how you plan on beating me," Fader questioned. "Without any monsters on the field I can attack you directly. And if my math is correct, my Dark Magicain Girl has just enough attack power to wipe you out in one shot."
"You won't be beating me," Sabin answered. "Because you won't be able to attack. Not once you're trapped inside my Nitemare Cage! For your next two turns you won't be able to attack me and I won't be able to attack you." A dome of steel bars shot up out of the ground on all sides of Fader. If he hadn't felt contained by the circle of duelists before, the Nitemare Cage was doing a good job instead.
"Interesting plan. But how do you plan to make good on your threat if you can't attack me?"
"I'm going to defeat you without ever launching an attack," Sabin replied smugly. "Reveal other face down card!" The second card in front of him flipped up to reveal itself as a trap card with hte giant letter "D" in the center of its image. "Witness the Ouija Board, the first piece of the DEATH message. At the end of each of your turns the next letter will appear, spelling out my message. When all five pieces are played then you lose Fader, and your Battle City adventure will be over."
"I still have plenty of time to counter your strategy Sabin. I'll end my turn." The green "E" card appeared on the field next to the "D".
"Big talk Fader. I don't need to make a move. I'll just draw and end my turn."
"You're relying an aweful lot on your Ouija Board. But I have the cards in my deck to stop you."
"But you have to draw them first. And you only have three more turns left to pull out the nessesary cards; whereas my DEATH message cards pull themselves out of my hand and deck."
Fader drew his card. "I'll lay one monster facedown and end my turn." The "A" appeared next in line. "Now your Nitemare Cage is gone, freeing me to atack you next turn.
"I would worry about your monsters attacking me," Sabin said. "But I've just drawn my rarest card, Raigeki!"
"That's one of the rarest magic cards in the game! They only ever made ten copies of it!" Fader said with both shock and horror.
"It was a gift from Mr. Evo. I see you're already familiar with its destructive power to destroy all of your monsters on the field." A massive thunderbolt crashed down from the sky and slammed into Fader's side of the field, wiping out his Dark Magician Girl and face down monster. "Now you have nothing left with which to attack me. I'll lay one card Face down and end my turn."
"I'm afraid that it's the Seasnake that will be heading to the graveyard Fader."
"What?"
"I activate my trap card Mirror Force!" Vico shouted. "All of your monsters are destroyed!"
"I can't do anything but end my turn," Fader said solemnly.
"Nowe I'll sacrifice your Invader of the Throne for my Fisherbeast (2400/2000). And since you have no monsters on the field I can attack you directly. Fisherbeast attack!"
"You aren't the only one with traps Vico," Fader said. "I'll activate my Magic Cylinder card which deals you damage equal to your monster's attack. You're out Vico."
