Serena ignored Evo again and continued her turn. "Now I'll sacrifice my
Magician of Faith and Kia the Binding Angel for my Blue Eyes White Dragon
(3000/2500). And it will attack your face down monster." The Blue Eyes let
loose its powerful blast aimed directly at Fader's monster. Just before it
could hit though, the card image formed and the Millennium Shield appeared,
blocking the attack.
Fader: 3700, Serena: 8800.
"Well now isn't this interesting," Evo said. "It seems Fader has a stronger defense then Serena's monster."
Fader drew his card. "I play the magic card cost down and discard a card from my hand to reduce the level of my in hand monsters by two. Now I can tribute my Millennium Shield to summon the Buster Blader (2600/2300) in attack mode. Buster Blader attack her Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
Fader: 3700, Serena: 8700.
As the Blue Eyes was destroyed Fader breathed a sigh of relief. if Serena had maged to get her three Blue Eyes together again she'd be able to summon her most powerful monster like she did during their last game. Now that he had eliminated one of them, he felt better.
Evo clapped his hands together once. the sound resonating in hte quiet room. "Excelent. I was starting to worry about you Fader."
Serena drew her card. "I agree with Evo; it was a nice play. But there are still two more Blue Eyes in my deck."
"I'm ready Serena."
"You think so? I'll lay a monster face down and one other card and end my turn."
"I'll draw and then have the Buster Blader attack your face down monster."
"I activate my magic card, Switch to return Fairy's Gift (1400/1000) to my hand and replace it with my Death Guardius (3300/2800). And since its too late to call off your attack, your Buster Blader is destroyed and you lose 200 Life Points."
Fader: 3500, Serena: 9200.
"I'll lay one card face down and end my turn," Fader said as he placed a card into the magic/trap card slot of his Duel Disk.
"After I gain another 500 Life Points I'll summon Fairy's Gift once more and then have it and my Death Guardius attack your Life Points directly and wipe them out."
"It's not going to be that easy Serena," Fader said wagging his finger at her. "You should know that by now. I activate Mirror Force. Both of your monsters are destroyed."
"I end my turn then," Serena said as she examined her hand and shook her head.
"I'll summon the Dunames Dark Witch (1800/1050) and attack your Life Points directly."
Fader: 3500, Serena: 7900.
Fader was feeling better about himself, the match was turning back around, but with Serena's Life Points still so high the match was still largely in her favor.
"You're a great duelist Fader," Serena stated as she drew her card. "It's rewarding to find someone who can match me move for move. It's how I imagine my grandfather felt when he dueled Yugi Moto. And I know that if it hadn't been for your help I wouldn't have been able to retrieve Seto Kaiba's three Blue Eyes White Dragons. Those three monsters aren't just among the strongest monsters in the game but they are my grandfather's heart and soul. And if it wasn't for those cards I wouldn't be able to form my ulitmate beast."
"Too bad you can't summon it, since I've already destroyed one of your Blue Eyes."
"Who says I can't?"
"With one of your Blue Eyes in the graveyard, you'd have to revive it first and then have a Polymerization card and the other two Blue Eyes in your hand. That's four cards you'd need total."
"That's not true. I just need one card. And I just drew it. A card that will change the rules."
"What card?"
"Behold the Devil Franken (700/500)," she announced.
"The what?" Fader asked.
"Devil Franken. A card so difficult to use that my grandfather didn't even keep one in his deck. And now I will activate its special ablity."
"Which is?"
"By paying 5000 Life Points, Devil Franken can create and special summon to the field any fusion monster that my deck is capable of creating. So now I'll create the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800)!"
Fader: 3500, Serena: 3400.
There was a blinding flash of light and when it dissapated the Devil Frankken was no longer alone on the field and Serena's behemoth roared.
"Now I'll play Quick attack and have my Ultimate Dragon attack your Dunames Dark Witch. Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack with Nuetron Blast!" It all happened so quickly that Fader couldn't react. In a display of raw cosmic power unleashed the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon had vaporized the defenseless Witch. "And I'll follow it up with an attack from my Devil Franken."
Fader: 100, Serena: 3400.
"A hard play to follow up Fader," Evo remarked. "You're clinging for dear life."
"You should know that a match isn't over until the Life Points hit zero,"replied Fader. As true as Fader believed his own words to be, he knew that Evo's were just as accurate. Serena was about to win this match unless Fader could draw the right card. Everything that had happened to him over the past few weeks had been really trying. He never imagined that he'd find himself in the situation that he was now in. A week ago he wouldn't have thought it possible to be in possesion of one of the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle, let alone ten, but here he was and with each piece that he recieved he felt that he was fulfilling some purpose that he didn't even know that he had. And now he was teetering on the brink of failing in that purpose. He knew in his heart that he could still win this. There are posibilites in every deck a voice in his head told him and he knew that it was right. There was that was going to win this for him, he just needed to draw it.
"I'll lay two cards face down, and set a monster in defense mode," he said. "Make your move Serena."
Serena drew another card and gained 500 more Life Points. "I'll set this card face down and then attack your monster with my Ultimate Dragon."
"No you won't Serena. I activate my Negate Attack trap card to protect me."
"I'm done then. Your move."
"Now I'll flip my face down monster face up. The Invader of the Throne (1300/1700)."
"What is that going to do?"
"Just watch Serena." As Fader said this both his Invader of the Throne and the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon began to glow. They then transformed into two white balls of energy and shot across the field, swithcing places with each other as they reformed in front of their new controllers.
"What just happened?" Serena asked.
"Invader of the Throne's special ability allows me to choose one of your monsters and switch control of it with my own monster. I chose your Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon."
"Too bad you can't damage me enough to kill me this turn. My Life Points are too high."
"The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon may not be strong enough to destroy you in one shot but there's another monster that is."
"What?"
"You aren't the only one that can use fusions. I pay the Polymerization card to combine your Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon with the Black Luster Soldier card in my hand to create the Supreme Dragon Master Knight (5000/5000)."
"That's not possible," protested Serena.
"Anything is possible Serena. Now I'll flip up my own Quick Attack card to allow my monster to attack and aim it directly at your Devil Franken. Dragon Master Knight, attack with Dragon Sabre Blast!"
A massive surge of energy poured down from the ceiling and began to collect in the sword of the Dragon Master Knight that was being held over its head. The knight then pointed its sword at the Devil Franken preparing to blast the collected power forward, combining it with the Nuetron Blast attack of the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon on top of which it rode. Before it could unleash its atack though a large ring of grenades appeared around the middle head of the Ultimate Dragon. There was no time to call off the attack, no time for anything except watching as the Dragon Master Knight exploded taking both players Life Points with it.
Fader: 0, Serena: 0.
Fader composed himself and lifted himself off the ground after the destruction of his monster sent him reeling. "What happened?" he asked.
"I activated my face down card," Serena told him as she lifted herself off the ground. "The Bell of Destruction. It destroyed your monster and dealt each of us damage equal to its attack power."
The two duelists thought were interrupted by the sound of applause. Both turned to face Evo as he clapped his hands together.
"Amazing," he said. "A draw. Very unexpected, and at the same time, very unfortunate."
Fader: 3700, Serena: 8800.
"Well now isn't this interesting," Evo said. "It seems Fader has a stronger defense then Serena's monster."
Fader drew his card. "I play the magic card cost down and discard a card from my hand to reduce the level of my in hand monsters by two. Now I can tribute my Millennium Shield to summon the Buster Blader (2600/2300) in attack mode. Buster Blader attack her Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
