Chapter 16: The Line of Fire: Direct Damage
Yugi Moto had reached the top of the stairs to the familiar, but empty airport terminal that the stairs led from. This time however he noticed a shadow round the corner. The Millennium Puzzle briefly glowed as he walked to the corner. He reached around but nothing was there. He turned the corner slyly, but discovered to his relief it was only a plant. He kept walking around the terminal, and followed one tunnel that led directly to the airplanes. However, one plane was different than all the others, and Yugi quickly noticed it. It was missing one of its blue stripes, and its door was open. He decided to check it out.
"Hmm..." he thought. Suddenly, the platform Yugi was standing upon rose up onto the top of the plane. Another platform rose and Yugi recognized a familiar duel monster, the Fire Sorcerer. "You know what I'm here for...don't you Yugi?" she asked.
"A duel?" he sarcastically answered, loading his duel disk.
"Well who told you? Anyway.." she said, her tone changing drastically, "choose a deck master and let the torture begin!"
"I have chosen Black Magician Girl (2000/1700) to act as my Deck Master!" he proclaimed. Fire Sorcerer sighed.
"I actually feel like being generous, so Yugi you can take the first turn." She declared as Yugi drew 6 cards.
"For my first move I summon Magnet Warrior Beta (1700/1600) in attack mode and set one card face down to end my turn." He announced.
"That's all? I'll draw and next, summon Spirit Destroyer (1800/700) in attack mode! Spirit Destroyer attack Beta now!" commanded Fire Sorcerer while the monster dove at Beta.
"Sorry, but by summoning a monster you activated my trap card, Adhesion Trap Hole! This card cuts your Spirit Destroyer's attack power in half (900/700)! Beta, counterattack!" shouted Yugi as the warrior dodged the destroyer's punch, and countered with one of its own, shattering Fire Sorcerer's monster into pieces. (F's LP: 3200)
"Now it's my turn! I summon Gazelle, King of Mythical Beasts (1500/1200) in attack mode! Gazelle and Beta, attack Fire Sorcerer's life points directly! End the duel!" commanded Yugi as the monsters both leaped at Fire Sorcerer, their attacks succeeded, only Fire Sorcerer's life points didn't budge.
"What happened?" asked a confused Yugi.
"Easy! My monster isn't called Spirit Destroyer for any reason! When it's sent to the graveyard, my monster crushes your monster's spirits, which cuts both of their attack points to zero! So I took no damage there, kid." She explained as she drew.
"And now you see the full price of my monster's effect. Go Amazoness Fighter (1500/1300) and attack Gazelle!" commanded Fire Sorcerer as the fighter ran up to Gazelle and sent it flying, shattering before it hit the ground. (Y's LP: 2500)
"Time for even more damage for you and good things for me! First, I activate Sobek's Blessings to gain 1500 life points from your battle damage! (F's LP: 4700)
"Then, I activate the magic card, Final Flame! This card takes away 600 of your life points!" she cheered as a flame inswirled Yugi, which he approached carefully and thoughtfully, not getting touched by one flame. (Y's LP: 1900)
"And meet my deck master ability, whenever you receive direct damage, you receive 500 extra points of damage! I'll be finished with this duel in no time." She snickered. (Y's LP: 1400)
"I'll end my turn from here!" she added on while Yugi drew.
"I activate the magic card, Brain Control! This will allow me to control Amazon Fighter!" he explained as a large brain appeared and sent out two ghostly hands grabbing Amazon Fighter and grabbing her to Yugi's field.
"Now I sacrifice Amazon Fighter and Magnet Warrior Beta to summon Black Magician (2500/2100)!" he announced as his favorite mage appeared. Black Magician Girl blushed a small bit when she saw him.
"Black Magician! Nothing is holding you back, attack her life points!" Yugi shouted as the mage twirled his staff and shot black lightning from it, severly damaging Fire Sorcerer. (F's LP: 2200)
"That attack is just the first step in bringing you down!" he announced as Fire Sorcerer drew.
(Too bad you'll never get to that last step with the way things are going.) she laughed.
"Now I set one card face down and activate Last Ditch Effort to summon 1 sheep tokens!" she announced as a sheep and a card image all appeared on the field. "Your move." She added.
Yugi drew without hesitation. "Reverse trap card, Minor Goblin Official!" she burst, "this trap will take away 500 life points from you if your life points are 3000 or less." She explained as that last part caught Yugi's attention.
(Her trap won't work if we can get our life points higher than 3000. And I've got the perfect combination to do it!) he thought to his other personality. (But first we have to attack.) (Y's LP: 900)
"Black Magician, attack the goat!" commanded Yugi as the black lightning wiped out the yellow goat. Black Magician Girl smiled.
"Next, I'll set these 2 cards face down and end my move." Yugi stated.
"Fine by me." She responded. "Now I'll draw and reveal another one of my deck master's special abilities! I can summon to the field a monster that can deal direct damage by discarding a card from my hand! So now I summon Catapult Turtle (1000/2000) in defense mode! Next turn, I'll take away almost all of your life points Yugi! But not before activating Sparks! This card will take away 200 life points from you!" she announced as 3 sparks of fire came at Yugi, which he dodged. (His leg isn't attached to a chain like it was before you know) (Y's LP: 200)
"Now how to finish the great Yugi Moto off? Should I let my trap finish him? Should I let my Catapult Turtle destroy him? I've got a better idea! What's a more suitable way to destroy him than by activating this! Change of Heart will force Black Magician to obey me!" she laughed as the magician flew over to Fire Sorcerer's field, a look of regret in his eyes before it changed to anger.
"Be gone with you!" Fire Sorcerer announced. "Black Magician, attack and destroy Yugi!" she commanded. The magician slowly raised his staff, still not wanting to attack his master. But the magic card took full control of him, and he unleashed the waves of black lightning to obliterate Yugi.
"Reveal trap card! Interception Attack!" he burst. "My trap will allow me to summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) to intercept your attack! However, by rules of this card my monster is automatically destroyed," explained Yugi as the waves of black magic blew away Yugi's defense.
"Now Black Magician, return to me!" exclaimed Yugi as his mage gladly floated back over to him. "I'll set this one card face down, and I summon Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress (1400/1200) in defense mode to end my turn." He concluded.
"Fine by me! Now I summon Spear Dragon (1900/0) in attack mode! Spear Dragon, sacrifice yourself to my Catapult Turtle to launch yourself at Yugi and wipe him out! Goodbye forever!" she burst while the dragon launched itself at Yugi, ready for the final attack.
"I'm not gone yet! Reverse trap card, Black Restoration Energy Wall! This trap card will add the attack points of all monsters on the field to my life points and then it will negate your attack!" Yugi explained as the dragon smacked directly into the energy chasm being knocked back to its original spot. (Y's LP: 7000)
"The tables have turned!" he bellowed. "However, since I have 7000 life points, as you may recall that destroys your Minor Goblin Official trap!" he exclaimed as the trap disintegrated.
"You think I can't harm you now don't you? That's just liked you Yugi, you may be 4 steps ahead, but I'm ALWAYS 2 steps ahead of you! Just like this card will soon demonstrate! Activate Deepest Impact! This card will destroy your Black Magician and Winged Dragon!" she burst as the card unleashed many meteors to exterminate all of Yugi and her monsters. (Y's LP: 3000) (F's LP: 1100)
"Look, now we're not that far apart any more now are we? Now to the field I summon Cannon Soldier (1400/1300)! Cannon Soldier, attack Yugi's life points directly!" she commanded as the cannon unleashed a yellow blast smacking directly into Yugi. Black Magician Girl looked on worriedly. (Y's LP: 1600)
Yugi struggled for a second, before getting back to his feet. "I haven't lost until my life points reach zero." He simply responded as he drew. "Now I call to the field Magnet Warrior Gamma (1500/1800) in attack mode! Gamma attack Cannon Soldier now!" he commanded as the magnet rock smashed through the machine. (F's LP: 1000)
(Typical) she thought. "Oh no Yugi, you may win after all." She sarcastically said, worriedly. "All I can do is activate Rain of Mercy, to increase our life points by 1000. But not before activating, Magical Reproduction Factory, to create 3 Rain of Mercy's to increase our life points by 3000 each!" she gleefully stated. (Y's LP: 6000), (F's LP: 4000)
"Now behold the power of Spirit Cross! For the bargain of my whole hand and the top ten cards off my deck, I can immediately switch our life points." She snickered as she shoved 13 cards into her graveyard. (Y's LP: 4000) (F's LP: 6000)
"That's all I can do for now, but I will be striking back next turn!" she cautioned. Yugi drew with extreme confidence. "First I summon Super Electric Turtle (0/1800) in defense mode, and play this card face down. Your move." He utterly announced. Fire Sorcerer smirked.
"My move! Now I draw! Just in time. Activate Clean Slate! Because I have no cards in my hand, I can draw 6." She explained snatching 6 from the top of her deck. "Now I activate a card that will destroy you! Unleash Dark Snake Syndrome! This card will take away 200 life points from both of us each of my turns! But, the better part is it only BEGINS at 200, it doubles every turn I take. Soon, you'll be history! However, that's enough to put your mind. I end my turn." She cackled.
"My move! First, I summon Dark Elf (2000/800) in attack mode and end my turn." He stated as the elf appeared. (Normally, I would have attacked.) Yugi thought, (but I have to conserve my life points, at least until I can destroy her snake syndrome card. There's got to be some way to get around her direct damage. I just hope I can do it with Black Magician Girl.) He thought, sighing to himself.
"If only you knew what to do huh Yugi? Black Magician Girl is one of the weakest deck masters in the whole game! If you were smart, you'd at least have relied on your all-time favorite, the ultra rare Black Magician. But you didn't, now did you? Now you pay! Snake Syndrome be unleashed!" she chanted as two snakes appeared and bit Yugi and Fire Sorcerer. Luckily for Yugi, they were only small stings. He wasn't even bleeding. (Y's LP: 3300), (F's LP: 5800)
"And just wait until next turn when it's twice as painful! To end my turn, I'll set this one card in face down defense position and end my turn." She declared as the hologram materialized on the field.
"I draw. Now, I move Black Magician Girl to the field (2300/1700)!" he exclaimed.
(Is he?) Fire Sorcerer instantly thought.
"Now witness the magic of Fusion! Fuse Black Magician Girl and the Dark Elf together!" he commanded as the two monsters intertwined releasing a black and white blast. In the end, a beautiful sorceress wearing a purple and black outfit stood in the place of the two monsters with lovely jewels covering her body. "I have created the Black Magic Mage! (2700/2200+900) Next, I activate one of her effects! Black Magician and Black Magician Girl return to the field!" he commanded as his favorite two magicians revived themselves from the graveyard.
"Your team of magicians won't beat me! I reveal my magic card, Dark Wall of Air! Your monsters can't touch me this turn! And next turn I will summon a foe to you Yugi Moto. One of the greatest duel monsters in existence!" she exclaimed, holding up a Meteor B. Dragon (3500/2000)
"You may think you have me cornered but look again! Black Magic Mage has yet another special ability you've overlooked! For the bargain price of 700 life points (Y's LP: 2600) she can destroy all of your face up magic cards! So thank you for setting your own defeat up!" he announced as the mage's staff became charged with golden lightning. With a quick sweep of her staff, both of the magic cards exploded on contact with the staff.
"No! You've destroyed all of my precious magic cards! Curse you Yugi Moto; I was so close of being the one to defeat you! However, my life points are still intact! You've just destroyed 2 magic cards, and I've got those same 2 cards in my hand." She chuckled as she revealed the exact same magic cards.
"Not only that, but you lose 500 life points for each magic card I destroyed." He cheerfully added on. (F's LP: 4800). As well as that, my mage gains 100 points for each magic card in my graveyard, and I count 9 (not accurate). So, with a pumped up power of 3600, prepare for the final assault! Black Magic Mage, Black Magician, Black Magician Girl! Trio Attack!" instructed Yugi as the three magicians crossed staffs, sending a black, pulsing wave of magical energy at Fire Sorcerer. It easily flew through her face down Magician of Faith and detonated on contact with her. When the thick layer of smoke vanished, she was vanished. She had been blow away by the force of the assault. All three of Yugi's monsters disappeared, Black Magician Girl giving him a wink before vanishing. As soon as they were gone, the platform lowered, and Yugi went to the front and saw an astonishing sight. It was a humongous iron, midnight black gate.
"So this is the Black Gate." He thought. "Wonder what we'll find out here. I hope my friends are here." He thought, just as the plane touched down on the ground.

"I draw. Now, I move Black Magician Girl to the field (2300/1700)!" he exclaimed.
(Is he?) Fire Sorcerer instantly thought.
"Now witness the magic of Fusion! Fuse Black Magician Girl and the Dark Elf together!" he commanded as the two monsters intertwined releasing a black and white blast. In the end, a beautiful sorceress wearing a purple and black outfit stood in the place of the two monsters with lovely jewels covering her body. "I have created the Black Magic Mage! (2700/2200+900) Next, I activate one of her effects! Black Magician and Black Magician Girl return to the field!" he commanded as his favorite two magicians revived themselves from the graveyard.
"Your team of magicians won't beat me! I reveal my magic card, Dark Wall of Air! Your monsters can't touch me this turn! And next turn I will summon a foe to you Yugi Moto. One of the greatest duel monsters in existence!" she exclaimed, holding up a Meteor B. Dragon (3500/2000)
"You may think you have me cornered but look again! Black Magic Mage has yet another special ability you've overlooked! For the bargain price of 700 life points (Y's LP: 2600) she can destroy all of your face up magic cards! So thank you for setting your own defeat up!" he announced as the mage's staff became charged with golden lightning. With a quick sweep of her staff, both of the magic cards exploded on contact with the staff.
"No! You've destroyed all of my precious magic cards! Curse you Yugi Moto; I was so close of being the one to defeat you! However, my life points are still intact! You've just destroyed 2 magic cards, and I've got those same 2 cards in my hand." She chuckled as she revealed the exact same magic cards.
"Not only that, but you lose 500 life points for each magic card I destroyed." He cheerfully added on. (F's LP: 4800). As well as that, my mage gains 100 points for each magic card in my graveyard, and I count 9 (not accurate). So, with a pumped up power of 3600, prepare for the final assault! Black Magic Mage, Black Magician, Black Magician Girl! Trio Attack!" instructed Yugi as the three magicians crossed staffs, sending a black, pulsing wave of magical energy at Fire Sorcerer. It easily flew through her face down Magician of Faith and detonated on contact with her. When the thick layer of smoke vanished, she was vanished. She had been blow away by the force of the assault. All three of Yugi's monsters disappeared, Black Magician Girl giving him a wink before vanishing. As soon as they were gone, the platform lowered, and Yugi went to the front and saw an astonishing sight. It was a humongous iron, midnight black gate.
"So this is the Black Gate." He thought. "Wonder what we'll find out here. I hope my friends are here." He thought, just as the plane touched down on the ground.
