As the black clouds gathered more and more, Kiyoji stared daggers at Kaiba,
who didn't look the least bit intimidated.
"I'll start this off," said Kaiba, drawing a sixth card. "And believe me. This duel will be over in a matter of turns. And it starts with this: I set one card face down in defense mode and end my turn."
Kiyoji's turn-
"Only one card?" Kiyoji asked, drawing his first card and examining his hand. "That's going to cost you dearly."
"Is that so?" Kaiba asked skeptically. "You only dealt me damage one time, and it wasn't even that impressive."
"Well watch this," Kiyoji began, "I play Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three cards and discard two. I'll even tell you what I discarded: Tyrant Dragon and Lord of Dragons."
Kaiba remained silent, waiting for him to finish his turn.
"But I play Silent Doom," Kiyoji said, placing it in an empty magic/trap slot. "And I'll revive Lord of Dragons (1200/1100). However, since I used Silent Doom, it has to stay in defense mode, but that's quite all right..."
Kiyoji's spellcaster arose from the ground, smirking at Kaiba.
"Because I play the Flute of Summoning Dragon!" he said, playing another magic card. "And I summon to the field Serpent Night Dragon (2350/2400) and Emerald Dragon (2400/1400), both in attack mode!"
As Lord of Dragon's flute appeared before him, he grasped it and played a single note.
Off in the distance, both Kaiba and Kiyoji, along with the sound provided for the spectators outside if the Virtual Field, they could hear two separate roars.
Soon, what appeared before Kiyoji were a midnight blue dragon with a long, curved body and shimmering emerald scaled dragon with two mighty wings. They lowered their altitude and faced Kaiba, ready to fight.
"But that's not all," Kiyoji continued, "I'll sacrifice my Lord of Dragons to bring out Seiyaryu (2500/2300)!"
As Kiyoji's spellcaster returned to the graveyard, a winged dragon with spikes and claws in many areas.
"Whoa!" Joey exclaimed, watching the flat-screened TV from the sidelines. "Kiyoji's brought out three dragons already!"
"Yeah," Yugi agreed. "Bringing out three powerful monsters is pretty impressive in an opening move."
"Now Seiyaryu! Attack his face down card, Sacred Breath of Fire!" shouted Kiyoji.
His dragon eagerly obeyed exhaling a wave of flames towards Kaiba's face down card, incinerating it. However, before it passed, it flipped face up, revealing to be a mostly purple, spherical blob.
As the flames cremated it, before it passed on, a glob of purple ooze shot towards Kiyoji. It splat against his chest depleting him of 500 life points. Also, Kiyoji felt a sudden burn against his chest for a few seconds, but he didn't even wince at the pain.
"That would be the pain simulators," Kaiba said smugly as he placed two more Giant Germs (1000/100) from his deck, and on his Duel Disk in defense mode. "That's what you get for attacking a Giant Germ. Want to feel it again? Well try attacking me again."
"That barely even hurt," Kiyoji responded, smirking. "I guess I'll end my turn now."
Kaiba: 8000
Kiyoji: 7500
Kaiba's turn-
As Kaiba finished shuffling his deck, he placed it back into his Duel Disk and drew a card.
"Well," Kaiba said, looking at Kiyoji's dragons. "Those overgrown lizards have spared your life points for now. I place one card face down in defense mode and one magic or trap card face down, and end my turn."
"Hmm," Yugi thought, and then said aloud. "Kaiba's doesn't like to play defensively but when he does, he can easily turn the tide in a duel with one card."
"I bet he's just waiting for his Crush Card virus," Joey said, watching the duel in anticipation. "Maybe that's his face down card?"
Kiyoji's turn-
"I've got you on the run now," Kiyoji said, drawing a card. "I first play one card face down, and now! Seiyaryu, attack his face down card, Sacred Breath of Fire!"
Kiyoji's strongest dragon on the field obeyed and began exhaling another wave of flames, about to consume Kaiba's face down card.
"I don't think so," Kaiba said, flipping his face down card. "Activate Trap card! Shadow Spell!"
As Kaiba's face down card flipped face up, actual chains shot out from the ground and out of nowhere from the sky. The chains ensnared Seiyaryu and squeezed tightly, especially around the neck, preventing it from breathing fire.
"My Shadow Spell not only prevents your monster from attacking, but it also lowers the monsters' attack by 700." Kaiba explained. "So my face down monster's untouched."
"Wrong," Kiyoji said, chuckling menacingly. "I'll activate my trap card, Royal Decree!"
All of a sudden, the chains of Shadow Spell vanished completely, releasing Seiyaryu.
"Royal Decree negates every trap card besides itself that is played," Kiyoji announced. "That makes your Shadow Spell useless, and my Seiyaryu is free and at full power, Sacred Breath of Fire!"
Kiyoji's dragon unleashed its wave of flames, wiping out Kaiba's face down card. However, the card flipped face up, revealing to be Kaiba's Slate Warrior. As it was destroyed, it turned into a brown putty-like substance and flew onto Seiyaryu in various areas.
"Now you've done it," Kaiba said. "Slate Warrior has a special effect that when he is destroyed in battle, the card that destroys him loses 500 attack and defense points, making your Seiyaryu a 2100/1800."
"Still doesn't matter," Kiyoji retorted. "I'll let your little germs stick around for a while, so I'll end my turn."
"He's up to something," Yugi said to Joey. "Why would he leave two weak monsters for Kaiba to sacrifice?"
"Maybe he's afraid to get hit by an acid attack again," Joey suggested.
"I'd doubt that," Ryan told Joey. "He didn't even flinch when he got hit. My guess is he wants Kaiba to bring out a powerful monster."
"But because of Royal Decree all his traps'll be useless," Joey said.
"Why don't we just wait and see what's going to happen," Yugi said to them both.
Kaiba's turn-
"Your Royal Decree has turned out to help me more than you," said Kaiba, drawing a card. After seeing the card, he grinned somewhat. "Even more so as you'll see in just a minute. I'll sacrifice one of my Giant Germs to summon... the Beast of Talwar (2400/2150) in attack mode."
The germ on Kaiba's right vanished and it was replaced by a powerful green demon with a pair of blue wings and wielding two curved blades in each hand.
"Now Beast of Talwar, attack Seiyaryu with Twin Talwar Swords!" Kaiba commanded.
Beast of Talwar obeyed and his wings spread out further. Without flapping a wing, Beast of Talwar flew up a few feet and towards Kiyoji's Seiyaryu. In an instant, he was behind Kiyoji's dragon with both of his arms extended out straight. It seemed like nothing happened, but in seconds, Seiyaryu had fallen to the ground in many sliced pieces and vanished from the field.
"That's one dragon down," said Kaiba as Beast of Talwar reappeared on Kaiba's side of the field. "Now I'll switch my Giant Germ into defense mode and set this magic card face down, ending my turn."
Kaiba: 8000
Kiyoji: 7100
"Has Kaiba forgotten how to duel, or what?" asked Joey. "Why'd he tell Kiyoji what his face down card was?"
"Kaiba's up to something," Yugi said to Joey. "I think he's trying to psych Kiyoji out and try to destroy whatever the face down card might be."
Kiyoji's turn-
"Nice try," said Kiyoji, drawing a card. "But I'm not going to waste a card on destroying whatever that is."
'It wouldn't matter anyway,' Kaiba thought. 'It'll be activated one way or another.'
"First I play Pot of Greed allowing me to draw two more cards," Kiyoji said playing the magic card and drew two more cards. "Now then, I first play Spear Dragon (1900/0) in attack mode..."
As Kiyoji's long-nosed dragon appeared, Kaiba knew what it was going to attack.
"I also play Premature Burial and by paying 800 life points to revive... Tyrant Dragon (2900/2500)!" Kiyoji proclaimed, grinning at the jolt he felt from losing 800 life points. "But in order to revive him, I must sacrifice one of my dragons on the field. I'll sacrifice Serpent Night Dragon."
The ground suddenly began to tremble while thunder began roar. A moment later, an immense fissure opened in the middle of the field, and a fountain of magma spewed up from it. A tower of flames rose out of the fissure consuming Serpent Night Dragon, sending it to the graveyard. As sparks flew through the air and molten chunks of rock danced across the ground, an enormous brown dragon with a green jewel on his forehead rose from the crack in the earth. He emitted an ear-shattering roar, which made some of the spectators watching and listening cover their ears. Then the ground shook again as he landed before Kiyoji. The earth then closed up, sealing the fissure, but it was still noticeable that it ripped open.
"Now that's a dragon!" Joey exclaimed watching the TV in awe.
"I'll say," Ryan said to Joey. "With all of its effects, it can be a pain to get rid of if you don't have something strong out already."
"Now Kaiba," Kiyoji began, "Your Blue-Eyes White Dragons will never get a chance to be brought out now. But first, Spear Dragon, wipe out Kaiba's Giant Germ!"
The blue dragon obeyed, taking flight high into the air. Then, the dragon did a barrel-spin with the tip of its nose pointed towards its target.
"That won't work. I activate Dark Wall of Wind!" Kaiba said, flipping over his face down card. "It protects all my monsters from your attacks!"
A dark cloud surrounded Kaiba's monsters and Kiyoji's Spear Dragon was thrown back, unable to penetrate the wall. As Spear Dragon landed back on the ground, it shielded itself with its wings, making it be put in defense mode.
"Emerald Dragon, Tyrant Dragon, attack!" shouted Kiyoji, pointing at Kaiba's Dark Wall of Wind.
Both dragons obeyed flapping their wings to take flight as lightning struck again off in the distance. They opened their mouths and exhaled two breaths of fire; one breath was green and the other was the normal orange flame but bigger than the green. Both the flames hit the dark cloud, but to no avail.
"Can't listen, can you?" asked Kaiba. "For the rest of your turn, my monsters are touchable by yours."
"Fine, I suppose I'll end my turn," Kiyoji said, and oddly not angered.
Kaiba: 8000
Kiyoji: 6300
"Kiyoji can really keep a cool head," Yugi said to Joey and Ryan. "But this is odd. I mean Kiyoji was scared stiff yesterday, but now, it seems to know what he's doing."
"Yeah he has changed..." Joey said, "Do you think he's always like this in a duel, ready for anything?"
"I don't know," Yugi answered. "This is the first time we've seen him duel."
Kaiba's turn-
"Now is the beginning of your imminent defeat," Kaiba said, drawing his card. "And I'm going to take you down even further with this: Spear Dragon (1900/0)!"
As soon as Kaiba's Spear Dragon appeared, everyone watching from the sidelines knew what was going to happen.
"Spear Dragon, attack and kill Kiyoji's Spear Dragon now!" Kaiba ordered.
Kaiba's long-nosed dragon then took flight and did a barrel spin right into and through Kiyoji's Spear Dragon, leaving a fatal wound. But Kaiba's Dragon kept going, virtually slashing Kiyoji's chest for a direct attack, and taking away 1900 of Kiyoji's life points.
"And now that that is done with, I place two magic cards face down, switch my Beast of Talwar in defense mode, and I end my turn," said Kaiba, looking smug at Kiyoji.
Kaiba: 8000
Kiyoji: 4400
Kiyoji's turn-
"I know what you have face down, Kaiba," Kiyoji said to him, while drawing a card. "And I guess I should give you a little handicap so I'll go ahead and keep acting like an amateur."
"What?" Ryan asked in disbelief. "What did he say?"
"'Acting like an amateur'?" Joey said, thinking that's what he heard.
"So he's been holding back the whole time?" asked Mai, walking towards Yugi, Ryan, and Joey.
"I guess," Yugi answered Mai, but still looking at the TV. "This puts the duel in a new perspective."
"Now, Tyrant Dragon, attack Giant Germ!" Kiyoji ordered, showing a maniacal grin. "Volcanic Flames!"
With no delay, Tyrant Dragon flew towards Kaiba's somewhat-spherical germ cell. It began to breathe in for a fatal attack to itself.
"You'll never recover from this! I first activate Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying Royal Decree!" Kaiba announced, flipping it over, causing a cyclone to touch down from the stormy clouds and blowing away Kiyoji's trap card. "And I activate Crush Card, on my Giant Germ!"
Kaiba's Giant Germ suddenly began to turn purple in one area, and quickly spreaded. Tyrant Dragon unleashed a powerful breath of fire towards Kaiba's Giant Germ, but it didn't arrive in time. Giant Germ ruptured open, releasing vital liquids and a purple gas. The gas began to expand rapidly and quickly entered through Tyrant Dragon's nostrils. Tyrant Dragon immediately stopped its fiery breath assault and landed back on the ground. The mighty dragon began to gag while falling to the ground, twitching his arms, legs, and tail. It soon stopped as the virus obliterated his ability to breathe, killing him slowly and painfully.
The purple cloud kept moving towards Kiyoji and entered his Emerald Dragon's lungs and circulatory system. It killed the green scaled dragon as slow as it did Tyrant Dragon, but had the same results nonetheless.
After both of the dragons expired, they vanished from the field and into Kiyoji's graveyard. The purple cloud however didn't affect Kiyoji, or the cards in his hand.
"Now I'll start getting serious," Kiyoji said, looking at his opponent with his twisted grin. "And I'll begin with this: Giant Flood! It wipes out all the monsters on the field and in our hands."
Suddenly, the roaring thunder deafened. Behind Kiyoji arose an enormous, gargantuan wave, coming right for the two of them. When it hit, it took away Kaiba's Spear Dragon and his Beast of Talwar.
"Whoa," Joey said, "Cool effect."
"But where are Kaiba and Kiyoji?" Yugi asked, looking at the TV screen.
As the other finalists looked for the two competitors in the newly made ocean, Salazar said as he looked at the TV screen, "Now this is a Tempest field..."
NOTE: The Japanese card says that Giant Flood can only be played on Main Phase 1, but I bent that rule.
Also, I'm sorry for the long, overdue update. I've been deprived of all computer privileges for a month 'cause of my grades. That and my exams. But now that I have summer off, I can continue with the story. Thank you for your patience.
"I'll start this off," said Kaiba, drawing a sixth card. "And believe me. This duel will be over in a matter of turns. And it starts with this: I set one card face down in defense mode and end my turn."
