Chapter 26: Into the Shadows, Part 2
Bakura's magic card began to take effect. The walls of the Shadow Realm seemed to be replaced with a dark red background, such as if a battle had taken place there. Eyeballs popped out from the background in different sizes, and Bakura could see a small ghost floating in front of him that would bring him victory.
"How do you like our new dueling atmosphere? Get used to it!" Bakura barked. The ghost flew into Magical Absorber, who winced, but the wince was unnoticed by Jack of Clubs.
"Next, I'll summon The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams (1300/1800) to the field, who I must offer to the Dark Sanctuary!" he explained while his dream eating demon appeared on the field, and then was absorbed into the walls of Dark Sanctuary.
"But to make things worse for you, I activate Ouija Board!" smirked Bakura, as his card flipped up. A board with all the letters of the alphabet, then "goodbye" under them appeared from the card. The highlighter moved over to D, and then a ghostly writing of the letter D appeared above the board. "In just four more turns you will automatically lose! For once my final letters of the Ouija Board appear your soul will be property of the shadows!"
Jack of Clubs began to sweat upon hearing this. He had four short turns until his opponent crushed him for good. He drew, but smiled upon seeing his card. "My deck not only contains powerful traps, but it also contains a monster I put in here just to crush your friend, Yugi! Activate the Black Magic Agreement!" he snickered as his deck emitted an aura. A Black Magician Girl card instantly appeared on the field. (2000/1700)
"Now I can wipe out your life points!" laughed Jack of Clubs. (Even if that set card is a trap, I know it will work on one monster. So, now I have 2 monsters to destroy him!) "Magical Absorber, attack Bakura's life points directly!" he commanded as his magician began to raise his staff in the sky, but an evil white ghost flew out from the magician and struck Jack of Clubs in the chest.
"You've unveiled another ability of my Dark Sanctuary! You so stupidly attacked with a possessed monster. For you see, once per turn I can possess one of your monsters. Each time you attack with the possessed monster, half of its attack points are subtracted from your total and added to mine!" Bakura laughed as the balance of life points changed. (J's LP: 2700) (B's LP: 2900)
"So go ahead and attack me with your little girlfriend! I'll possess her too!" he threatened.
"Black Magician Girl, attack his life points!" he commanded as the ribbon of pink hearts surrounded Bakura, weakening him. (B's LP: 900)
Bakura drew and sighed a breath of relief at his draw. "Before things begin, I activate the "E" part of my Ouija Board!" he laughed as the highlighter moved from D to E, and the ghostly writing of E appeared next to D.
"Secondly I'll activate the magic card, Stray Lambs! Now I am able to summon 2 Lamb Tokens (0/0) in defense mode on my side of the field! I'll then set one card face down, and sacrifice one of my Lamb Tokens to the Dark Sanctuary!" he declared as one scapegoat's essence merged with the walls of Dark Sanctuary.
Jack of Clubs drew. "I'll activate the magical Spell Upgrade! This card raises Black Magician Girl's attack by 600!" he declared as his monster glowed in pink light, to the demise of the eyes of Dark Sanctuary. Her stats climbed to 2600/1700.
"It's time to possess a monster" Bakura smirked. His ghost flew around him. (Let's see. Last turn I threatened to possess Black Magician Girl. That fool won't believe me, so it's her I'll possess. Plus, it really doesn't matter who I possess. My trap will make sure he attacks with the right one!) he smiled cleverly as his monster flew into the magician girl.
"Now then! Magical Absorber, attack his lamb!" he commanded as his monster raised his staff in the air, and the green magical symbols combined.
"Not on my watch!" Bakura called. "Reveal, Dark Spirit of the Silent!" he burst as his trap flipped up. A vanilla-orange colored ghost emerged from the card, racing to Magical Absorber. It flew by it, and the magical blast halted. The monster returned to its normal position.
"As you see, my trap negates your monster's attack, but, it comes with much worse consequences!" he said, pointing at his ghost, who flew into Black Magician Girl. Instantly she raised her staff, and the evil ghost flew out, striking Jack of Clubs once more in the chest. (J's LP: 1450) (B's LP: 2050)
"Now I once again am in control of this duel! Now I activate Spirit Letter A!" he declared as the highlighter raced from "E" to "A". Following that, the letter A appeared in ghostly writing next to E. Bakura smirked while he drew. "And I plan to stay in control, so I activate, Card of Sanctity, causing each of us to draw until we contain 6 cards in our hands." He explained naturally, as Jack of Clubs drew three cards, and Bakura drew 5.
"So, I'm setting these two cards face down, to keep you guessing, and now I'll summon Grand Tiki Elder (1500/800) who I offer to Dark Sanctuary!" he added as his masked tiki monster appeared on the field, and was offered to the sanctuary. Bakura chuckled.
Jack of Clubs was pretty fearful of what would happen once all 5 letters appeared, seeing as how he had never come in contact with the Ouija Board before or, in fact, Dark Sanctuary, and of course, the dreaded Shadow Realm. But he remained calm. Even if he should lose, which all odds pointed to, another of his clan would easily defeat Bakura and save his soul from the shadows. He hoped.
He drew. (Ah! Just the cards to rid the field of his ghost!) he thought. "I activate Cost Down, and then I'll sacrifice Magical Absorber to summon Black Magician (2500/2100)!' he exclaimed. (Just one more card and this guy is history.)
(Well then,) thought Bakura (just have to possess that Black Magician, won't I?) he thought as he watched his ghost fly inside Black Magician, ready to unleash its painful effect.
"You think your ghost is going to stop me! Well try this! Activate, Armor of Gearfried!" Jack of Clubs announced as metallic armor connected to Black Magician's body. "My magical armor will not only raise my Black Magician's attack power by 100 times its level (3200), but it will also negate any equip cards on him, which means your ghost won't be able to equip to my mage!" he declared as Bakura, angrily, mentally instructed his ghost to enter Black Magician Girl.
"Now the time has come! You lose your own "Shadow Realm" duel! This is the final attack! Black Magician, Dark Magic Attack! Destroy his life points!" commanded Jack of Clubs as his mage fired up his black lightning, ready to destroy Bakura.
"You think you have me in a corner? You're about to destroy your own mage! For my trap card will help! Reveal, Spirit Lifeline!" he sprang along with his card. Instantly, a thin ghostly wire flew to Jack of Clubs' graveyard, and snatched Magical Absorber, which the wire flew back to Bakura's hand. He smirked devilishly as he summoned Magical Absorber to the field.
"My monster, or should I say yours, may not be able to attack, but he will block Black Magician's attack!" he smirked as the magician absorbed the blast harmlessly, and then charged up its green energy attack, annihilating the mage. (J's LP: 650)
(He knew I had a strategy waiting for his ghost.) Jack of Clubs thought.
"Even worse for you," Bakura added "is look!' he smirked evilly, pointing to Ouija Board. The highlighter rapidly flew from A to T in a split second, and before Jack of Clubs could even blink, Bakura set the magic card, and the ghostly writing appeared.
"One more turn," teased Bakura. "However, a familiar monster will make your stay in the shadows easier! First, I activate Guardian of the Spring! Using this card allows me to discard this equipment magic card from my hand, to bring another one back from the graveyard. Then I'll sacrifice your monster so I can once again summon Diabound Carnal! When will you learn that your fate is inevitable?" he added.
"Next on the agenda is for me to activate the card I revived, Afterimage of the Ghost!" he smirked as his familiar Doppler Token (1800) appeared on the field. "Attack my ghost!" commanded Bakura as the token possessed Black Magician Girl, trapping her in a black aura, and cutting her attack points. (800/1700)
"Diabound Carnal, strike down his pathetic magical fairy!" Bakura commanded as the monster launched its signature energy stream of yellow energy, and the monster began to charge its attack at full power, however, in a split second as soon as it launched it, Diabound Carnal shrunk to half its size, and the energy stream hit the magician girl, but still destroyed her. (J's LP: 50)
"What happened? You should be finished!!" Bakura called.
"I would be, except my Shrink magic card saved me!" Jack of Clubs showed, while wiping off his forehead.
(Eh. Ouija Board will surely get him next turn.) Bakura thought, while ending his move.
Jack of Clubs was nervously sweating. He drew cautiously. "Ha! Your Ouija Board stops here! Activate the magic card, Magical Neutralizing Force!" he smirked as the small tornado wall flew up from under Ouija Board, knocking out T, A, E, and D along with Bakura's Black Energy Fountain, followed by Dark Sanctuary. Jack of Clubs felt the cold feeling he received as the Shadow Realm once again came into view.
"Now what are you going to hide behind?" Jack of Clubs bravely stated, but then realized even without Ouija Board, Bakura was still in control of the field.
"What were you saying?" Bakura chuckled.
Jack of Clubs was in a tight spot, but then discovered a plan that could work, but it would take some luck, a lot of luck. "I'll set three cards face down and summon Injection Fairy Lily (400/1500) to the field in attack mode! I'll end my move from here." He stated, a look of determination crossing his face.
An unfazed Bakura drew his next card. "Well if you want to lose..." he stated, "Doppler Token, infect his fairy!" commanded Bakura.
"Reverse magic card, Emergency Provisions! I'll send both of my cards to the graveyard to raise my life points by 2000!" he exclaimed. (J's LP: 2050)
"Then I'll give up 2000 life points to boost Lily by 3000!" he added as his monster's syringe enlarged. (J's LP: 50) "Now Lily is able to ward off your Doppler Token's attack!"
Bakura sighed at the foolishness of this, fool. "Answer me; did you actually believe I was ATTACKING? I'm activating my monster's special effect." He explained, calmly, knowing victory was one attack away. In the meantime, Lily, like all the other monsters became engulfed inside a black aura, with no way out.
"Now that your monster's attack points have been decreased, drastically, I can activate this card! This card will seal your fate! Activate trap, Mirror Wall Ouiju!" he stated as his card flipped up. Instantly inside a tablet flew Black Magician. The tablet exploded as Diabound Carnal glowed in purple energy. It's attack points saw a favorable raise (3050) and Jack of Clubs knew it was all over. Bakura hadn't lost control of this match for a minute. Every thing went just as he knew it would.
"Fool, prepare to enter a realm like you've never experienced before, beginning with this! Diabound Carnal, attack Lily (1200)!" he commanded as the monster charged up a yellow blast almost two times the size of the original attack, and shot it clear across the arena, overwhelming Lily and ultimately destroying her. (J's LP: 0)
Jack of Clubs sank to his knees. He failed. It would have been different had it been an ordinary match, but the Shadow Realm was anything but ordinary. Bakura walked over, and dropped parallel to Jack of Clubs.
"You lost!" Bakura emphasized. "And you know the penalty of losing the shadow game, correct?" Jack of Clubs did not respond. "Well let me refresh your memory!" Bakura stated, as the Millennium Ring appeared, flashing an array of golden light. Jack of Clubs body fell to the floor, soulless.
Bakura turned and emerged from the alley. He chuckled to himself. (Another victim to the shadows) he thought and soon he'd have much, much more.
