"Fine by me," said Beezy. "I'll play Graceful Charity to draw three more cards and discard two useless ones from my hand. Then I'll set two more cards face down and end my turn."

"And I'll attack your face down monster with the Tyrant Dragon." Fader declared.

"I activate the trap card Military Movements."

"My dragon is immune to traps."

"This trap wasn't targeting your Dragon, it targeted my face down monster and protects it from being attacked."

"Alright then I'll end my turn."

"Not before I activate my other face down card, the Black Power Stone."

"What does that do?"

"Nothing but create three magic counters for me to use and transfer to another of my cards."

"But you don't have any other cards that use counters."

"Actually I do. It's just face down. My Skillful White Magician (1700/1900). Now once per turn I can take one magic counter from Black Power Stone and add it to my monster, plus it gains one counter every time you play a magic card. And when it gets three I get to summon a monster from my deck into play, the Buster Blader (2600/2300) card that you gave me."

"Your magician won't have a chance to get all three," Fader said. "I'm going to destroy it next turn."

"You're not going to be able to," Beezy corrected.

"Why not."

"Because you're going to be trapped by this, the Nitemare Steelcage; to prevent you from attacking for two turns. Now I'll move the first counter to my magician and end my turn."

Fader drew his card. "I'll play the Pot of Greed to draw two new cards." Fader drew the extra cards and shook his head, nothing useful. "I end my turn."

"And I'll add another counter for your magic card."

"Dammit."

"I'll set another card face down and end my turn."

"You forgot to move another counter, Beezy," Fader pointed out.

"I didn't need to. I wasn't going to be able to attack you anyway because of the Nitemare Steelcage. Ill just wait until it's gone on my next turn."

Only one more turn left to try and shatter the Steelcage and stop before the Beezy could transfer the last counter to his White Magician. Fader drew his card and saw that it wasn't going to help right now either. "I can't stop you but there is still something I can do, Tyrant Dragon, switch to defense mode. I'm done my turn." The Steelcage disappeared and the Tyrant Dragon hunched down and folded its wings around in front of it to protect itself and Fader from any harm that would come in the next turn.

"Couldn't pull another rabbit out of your hat Fader? I guess every one only has so much luck."

"This duel isn't over yet."

"Almost. I'll add the last counter to my Magician and then sacrifice it to special summon my Buster Blader "

"Too bad it can't attack becasue of the rules about special summoned monsters."

"Every rule is meant to be broken."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I have a magic card just for this occasion. The field magic card Quick Summon Vortex. Now every monster that is special summoned to the field doesn't have to wait a turn before it can attack."

"At least my Dragon is still in defense mode."

"Not anymore," Beezy said. "I activate my face down card, Windstorm of Etaqua which changes the postion of all your face up monster on thr field, switching your Tyrant Dragon back into attack mode. And since my Buster Blader gains 500 attack points for every dragon sub-type in play and in the graveyards its attack power becomes 3100. Too bad that your monsters that were on the field befoer reverted back to their old sub-types when they were destroyed of my Blader would be even stronger. Buster Blader attack!"

Fader: 2550, Beezy: 2500.

Fader looked at his hand; no monster cards. That meant that he didn't have anything that he could use to protect his Life Points. He needed to draw something right then to help him out. He drew his card.

"I'll lay two cards cards face down," he said. "And then play the Dark Magic Curtain. I pay half of my Life Points but I get to special summon the Dark Magician (2500/2100) from my deck into play in defense mode."

Fader: 1275, Beezy: 2500

"Your turn Beezy."

"Your magician is strong but it can't stand up to the Buster Blader, who gains 500 more attack points, bringing his power up to 3600. Now I'll summon Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600) to join him. After Buster Blader wipes out your mage, then Gearfried can take out the rest of your Life Points."

"You're going to have to find my magician first," Fader said. "I activate the Magical Hats trap card." A large silk hat appeared on the field in the air and then lowered itself onto the Dark Magician, hiding it. Three other hats then appeared out of the first and the four shuffled themselves around before forming into a line. "Make your choice Beezy. A one in four chance of finding my magician and ending this game."

"I'll attack the first hat on the left. Go Buster Blader!" The Blader dashed forward and sliced through the hat easily, but it was empty.

Fader smiled. "Too bad Beezy. No magician there."

"I could attack another hat with Gearfried but if I did find your mage then I'd just end up costing myself Life Points. I'll just end my turn. Your Dark Magician can't hide forever."

"He isn't going to hide forever. In fact he's not even going to hide until the end of this turn. He will emerge from the hats now as I swtich him to attack mode." As Fader said this the hats dissappeeared and the Dark Magician was revealed.

"Go ahead and destroy Gearfried, but on my next turn Buster Blader is going to wipe you out."

"Whoever said that I was going to attack your Iron Knight?" Fader asked.

"The Dark Magician isn't strong enough to stop my Buster Blader."

"Not without a little help. That's why I have this," he replied. "United We Stand, to increase my Dark Magician attack and defense by 800 points for every monster I have on the field. Now my magician, Dark Magic Attack!" The Dark Magician raised its staff and a bolt of energy shot forth and slammed into the Buster Blader shattering it."

Fader: 1275, Beezy: 2300.

"How? My Blader had 300 more attack points."

"Actually it only had 3100 hundred attack points, 200 less then my Dark Magician. Just before my attack I activated my face down card."

"What card?"

"The Mystical Space Typhoon. I used it to destroy your DNA Surgery. My mage reverted back to being a spellcaster and took the 500 point boost it gave your Buster Blader with it."
