Chapter 34: Bakura v. Kaiba: Duel In Darkness, Part 1: Rise of the Shadows

"Let's hurry up and get this over with so I may walk away with the final victory" Kaiba proclaimed as he glanced at Yugi, leading them to an upper level of KaibaCorp. where Yugi noticed a dueling arena.

"Okay people. Since I don't feel like piloting a blimp across a city or having it jacked by a twelve-year-old kid and a bunch of psychotic ex-employees of mine, there is no blimp! This will be the only dueling location of my tournament's finals. There will be four quarter-final matches, two semi-final matches, and then there will be one final match. The way the matches will be decided will be up to a number of the finalists. For you see, while one finalist will be chosen to duel, the remaining finalists must choose the opponent for the finalist!"

"Hmm. These rounds will be more psychological than anything. One person is chosen to duel, but the finalists choose the second opponent. That can make or break someone's chance at victory. I'll just have to be on my guard about who goes against whom" Yugi wondered, as Kaiba continued on.

"Any questions, good I didn't think so" he said in one breath. "Let's move on! Announce the first competitor!" Kaiba demanded.

The tournament official obeyed Kaiba's order. "Using a method before this meeting, the first opponent has been selected to be...Ryou Bakura!" he announced, thrusting his hand upward into the air. Ryou was a bit taken back by the sudden announcement, but soon regained his confidence. He walked over and stood on the circle outlined for the finalist to stand on. The circle began to hum and lift up off the ground.

"What the hell is going on?!!?" wondered Bakura, watching the circle carefully for any sign that he may want to get off. It flew back until it was 15 feet above the top level of Kaibacorp.

"Oh, I forgot to mention we'll be dueling in mid-air. However, notice the small space that you have to stand on. If I were you, I'd be careful where I step, and I'd also play my cards right. Too many direct attacks and you may end up falling off. As soon as the duel is over, the hover-spheres will instantly return to the top level of Kaibacorp. But don't worry, you won't die. The hover-spheres will catch you, considering you don't fall too quickly, but enough about that. However, if no one does, then everyone should survive to see next Wednesday, and Kaibacorp. won't be sued and lose millions upon millions of dollars."

"That's all find and dandy, but I don't feel like staying up here while you go on and on about your "precious company" sneered Bakura.

"Fine then Bakura, I'll take you on!" Kaiba loaded his deck in, duel disk glowing to authorize his access. Kaiba took his place on his hover-sphere as it floated into the air, equal at heighth to Bakura's. "This shouldn't be too much of a challenge. Bakura must be a skilled duelist to even make it to the final round, but can he fight the might of not only one of the three most powerful cards ever, but also against the power of the Blue Eyes White Dragon?" thought Kaiba as they both drew their opening hands.

"Let's duel!" Bakura and Kaiba called out in unison.

Bakura drew his sixth card. "Augh, no Diabound Carnal or any card that can help me summon it. However, Dark Necrofear is in my hand. I can use that until I can draw my ultimate monster" he evilly smiled. "I'll set one card face down and summon the Grand Tiki Elder (1500/800) in attack mode!" he announced as his hologram appeared, followed by a strange weird priest in purple robes.

"Next, I'll give our duel an elaborate more setting!" he explained, his Millennium Ring glowing to respond. Black and dark purple fog crept in from the air, making almost everything inside it invisible. Kaiba could barely even see Bakura's monsters. Even though Bakura knew he might have trouble noticing Kaiba's monsters, he would fare better, being the holder of the Millennium Ring. "I do believe you're familiar with the Shadow Realm?" Kaiba didn't budge. "Well get familiar, for once I win this silly little duel, you'll be trapped here until I choose to set you free, which will be...never" he evilly smiled.

Kaiba drew his sixth card. "I promise you, that won't happen. His face down card is probably a trap, but he must intend to activate it later; and I've got just the cards I needed, Cost Down, a monster, and my Blue Eyes White Dragon. Next turn, he's through, but I don't need to destroy my monster, so I'll set in defense mode" he planned out his first turn. "I summon my Mystic Horseman (1300/1550) in defense mode and I'll also place one card face down on the field" he announced as his half-man, half-horse monster appeared on the field, slightly neighing.

"What do you think those face-down cards are?" asked Joey on the sidelines.

"I'm not exactly sure. Bakura's face down card is probably a trap he'll activate if Kaiba attacks him. Knowing Kaiba, he's figured that out already and set a counter card face down, like maybe Enemy Controller or something. However, there's only one way we'll know for sure." Yugi replied to his friend's question.

Bakura drew. "Kaiba will regret not attacking me last turn" he thought. "Watch now, as I sacrifice my Grand Tiki Elder to summon the Legendary Devil (A/N: Legendary Fiend for those of us who think "demons" and "devils" are not appropriate. (1500/1800)!" Bakura announced as a misshaped fiend appeared on the field, blue skinned with occasional black here and there. He smiled a wicked grin.

"Nice plan, except both of your monsters have the same attack power." Kaiba pointed out a possible flew.

"Or does he? Because my trap card will change all that! Pyro Clock of Destiny, activate!" he announced as a clock appeared on the field. The hand switched from 0 to 1, as the field glowed in a mystical orange for a few seconds. When the orange light died down, the field remained the same.

"As I'm sure you already know, my Legendary Fiend gains 700 attack points each and every turn, and since my Pyro Clock of Destiny trap sped up the field by 1 turn, he gains the attack points! (2200/1800) Legendary Fiend, attack Kaiba's Mystic Horseman!" commanded Bakura as the monster shot two black beams from its eyes, slamming straight into the horseman, blowing him up.

"Thanks for destroying my monster! Now I'm able to activate this! Trap Lv. 4! Since you destroyed a monster on my side of the field, I'm now allowed to activate this trap, letting both of us summon a level 4 monster from our decks!" Kaiba explained, manually pulling out his deck and flipping through it, as did Bakura.

"I'll summon my Headless Knight (1450/1700) to the field" Bakura announced, his headless warrior in his faintly yellow glowing armor mystically making his way onto the field, sword ready to unleash an attack.

"Interesting." Kaiba thought. "I know Bakura has a more powerful level 4 monster in his deck, somewhere."

"You've let yourself summon a monster and the best you can do is stall? Just surrender, and I promise I won't lock you in the darkest part of the shadows." Bakura teased.

"Don't count on it. I plan to win! Blade Knight (1600/1100) to the field in attack mode!" Kaiba's blue armored warrior holding a thin blue sword and a heavy blue shield emerged from his 3-D card image.

"I bet Kaiba allowed me to destroy his Mystic Horseman so he could set himself up in a position for a sacrifice next turn. The fool, I'll teach him to try and pull surprise tactics on me" Bakura planned out his next move, selecting two cards on the field and placing them face down.

Kaiba drew. "The time has come! I'm activating the magic card Life Shortening Treasure! This allows me to draw 5 new cards, in exchange for discarding my hand 5 turns after activating this card!" he explained, snatching 5 cards off the top of his deck. "Next, I'll use this Cost Down magic card to reduce all monster's levels in my hand by 2, as soon as I discard this card!" he added.

Bakura smiled evilly. "Go ahead Kaiba, I'm all set to counter whatever you may summon."

"Finally, I'll sacrifice my Blade Knight to summon the all-powerful Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)!" he exclaimed as his weaker knight was replaced by an enormous blue and white dragon with two massive sets of teeth and shimmering blue eyes. It roared as it served its one true master.

"Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack his Legendary Fiend now!" commanded Kaiba as his faithful dragon opened his jaw creating static electricity, forming a ball of white lightning shooting from the dragon's mouth clear across the arena to the demon monster.

"Not quite Kaiba. My trap will change all of that, because I'm activating it! Arise, Cover Fire!" Bakura declared as his trap sprung up. Two sets of fire wrapped around Bakura's two monsters.

"Activate any card you want, my dragon will still take it down!" Kaiba remarked.

"I don't think so! Cover Fire, activate!" Bakura called as an essence from his Headless Knight flew into the soul (or no-soul) of the Legendary Fiend. The Legendary Fiend then shot out two black beams from its eyes, cutting through the Blue Eyes White Dragon's White Lightning attack, and igniting the dragon, then exploding it. (K's LP: 3350)

"I...don't...get it!?!! My dragon's attack power was clearly higher than your Legendary Fiend's! All your little trap did was create a wall of fire!!!" Kaiba disbelieved.

Bakura chuckled. "That's not all it did. It also added the attack power of my Headless Knight onto the attack power of my Legendary Fiend, powering it up to 3650, more than enough to counter your Blue Eyes White Dragon? And you're supposedly the World Champion?"

"Don't mock me. I'll set two cards face down and end my turn" spat Kaiba.

Bakura drew. "First, my Legendary Fiend gains 700 more attack points" he began as his monster glowed in purple light (2900/1800) "Now I shall switch my Headless Knight into attack position! Headless Knight, attack Kaiba's life points!" he commanded as his monster unleashed his sword, running up to Kaiba for an attack.

"Hold on, I'm activating a trap! Go, Attack Guidance Armor! This trap lets me redirect the target of my attack from me to your Legendary Fiend!" Kaiba explained as spiky red armor covered the Legendary Fiend's body. Headless Knight then made a U-turn, now aimed at Legendary Fiend. "But that's not all! I'll also use my Shrink magic card, cutting your Legendary Fiend down to 1450 attack points also!" he added as Bakura growled, his monster shrinking to half its original size. It unleashed two black beams to ward off the attack, but ultimately failed as Headless Knight vertically struck the fiend, both monsters being erased from the field.

Bakura growled. He had no idea of Kaiba pulling something this devastating to him. However, Kaiba's move had given him an opportunity he needed. "You may have played a brilliant strategy, but you have given me just the amount of monsters I need! Now I set one card face down before removing Legendary Fiend, Headless Knight, and Grand Tiki Elder from my graveyard to summon this!" he slapped a card onto his Duel Disk. The three spirits merged together to form a purple essence, springing around the field before morphing into the demon lady. Dark purple essence surrounded her. (2200/2800)

"Hmm." Wondered Kaiba, thinking what Bakura may be up to. He drew. "I'll set one card face down and summon X-Head Cannon (1800/1500) to the field in defense mode!" he announced as his machine cannon materialized on the field, shielding itself with its cannons.

Bakura drew and smiled. "I'm about to reduce your chances at victory Kaiba! I activate the magic card, Time Mischief!" he snickered.

"Oh no!" Yugi panicked on the sidelines.

"Hey Yugi, what does that card do?" Tristan asked.

"Well see, after Bakura pays 1000 life points, he calls out a name of a card in his deck and he can draw until he gets that card. But as soon as he draws it, all the other cards he picked up go into his graveyard. However, Kaiba has to discard the same amount of cards Bakura does. Depending on which card Bakura names, all of Kaiba's deck could be eliminated!" Yugi explained to his grief-stricken friends.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really hope Kaiba wins this time. Who knows what that evil spirit will do to him if he loses." Joey stated.

"The card I choose is my Diabound Carnal!" Bakura announced, taking his deck out of the holster. (B's LP: 3000)After going through 8 cards, he snatched Diabound Carnal, while discarding the top 8 cards. Kaiba obeyed the rules of the cards, picking up 8 cards off the top of his deck and discarding them to the graveyard. Luckily for him, it was nothing too much worth missing.

"Next I'll have my Dark Necrofear attack your X-Head Cannon!" added Bakura as Dark Necrofear's eyes opened wide, and unleashed two red beams aiming across the arena.

"Hold on! I'm activating the magic card Enemy Controller first! As soon as I pay 1000 life points, your Dark Necrofear belongs to me for the remainder of the turn!" Kaiba gladly enlightened Bakura as a giant game controller materialized on the field. "Enemy Controller, activate! Left, Right, A, B!" he commanded as a giant cord whipped onto Dark Necrofear's head, dragging her to Kaiba's side of the field.

"Interesting" Bakura noticed. "I'll bet Kaiba knows the second effect of Dark Necrofear. He made a wise decision in controlling it and not destroying it."

"End your turn!" Kaiba demanded.

"Fine then, since I can't attack, I'll just end my turn" shrugged Bakura.

"I don't get it. Why wouldn't Kaiba have just destroyed Dark Necrofear and gotten it over with?" Anzu questioned on the sidelines.

"Well Anzu, when Dark Necrofear is destroyed, it automatically lets Bakura take control of one of Kaiba's monsters" Kevin enlightened his friend.

"Oh..." she responded.

"It's interesting how both Bakura and Kaiba are dueling. Neither of them is using their ultimate strength, but always seem to know just how to counter one another's moves. However, as soon as their ultimate two monsters are summoned to the field, then that will be a battle of power" our little "Mystery Duelist" pondered on the sidelines.

"Dark Necrofear returns to my field now!" pointed out Bakura, as his monster floated to her rightful side of the field. Kaiba drew.

"I'm activating the magic card known as Will of Demise! This allows me to draw cards equal to one-third of the level of the monsters of the field. Since my X-Head Cannon is a level 4 monster, and your Dark Necrofear is a level 8 monster, I draw 4 cards!" he explained, drawing the top 4 cards from his deck.

"Yes yes, I did pass math in school." Bakura annoyingly replied.

Kaiba smiled. "Just the right cards I needed." He thought. "First, I play this card Gateway Barrier, which will eliminate the effect of my Life-Shortening Treasure! Now neither of us has to discard from our hands! Then I'll use this magic card, Invisible Soldier, allowing me to summon my Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600)! Next I shall sacrifice my X-Head Cannon and Y- Dragon Head to summon the XY-Tank Cannon (2200/1900)" his two monsters magnetically combined to form a stronger beast.

"So what will you do Kaiba? If you attack, you know I'll just gain control of your XY- Dragon Cannon and use it to finish you off" Bakura thought to himself, wondering what his opponent's next play would be.

"Now what will you do Kaiba? Risk attacking my Dark Necrofear, allowing me to swipe one of your monsters? Or just let me take my next turn and ultimately defeat you??" wondered Bakura as Kaiba gritted his teeth.

"Actually, if everything works out, I won't need to worry about your Necrofear's effect, because I'm activating this card! Breath of Life allows me to pay any amount of life points, and I can draw cards depending on how many life points I pay! So I'm going to pay 1800 life points to draw 6 new cards from my deck!" (K's LP: 1200)

"Now I summon Kaiser Seahorse (1750/1600) to the field! XY-Dragon Cannon, attack Dark Necrofear!" commanded Kaiba as his monster unleashed two missiles along with a magnetic blast from the Y-Dragon Head, aimed directly at Dark Necrofear. She responded by sending two thin red beams from her eyes at the attacks. The missiles exploded on contact with the red beams, swallowing up Dark Necrofear and the XY-Dragon Cannon.

"Kaiser Seahorse, attack Bakura directly!" Kaiba added, not feeling symathy for his destroyed monster.

"Reveal trap! Ghost Shield! Now I can remove Dark Necrofear from the game to negate the attack!" Bakura responded as a pink barrier of energy warded off the Kaiser Seahorse's trident strike.

Kaiba growled. "I'll set one card on the field and end my turn."

"Man, Bakura's actually doing really well than Kaiba. He's got more than twice as many life points as Kaiba does and he stopped Kaiba's attack effortlessly" Tristan declared.

"Yeah, but also Bakura's out of monsters in his graveyard, so his Ghost Shield trap won't be saving him anymore" Kevin pointed out.

"I wonder why Bakura is toying with Kaiba so much. Kaiba's been playing well, but Bakura has not even been using a fraction of his true power. He already has Diabound Carnal in his hand, so is he hesitating to use it? Or is he trying to send Kaiba out in a fashionable way. Bakura better hurry and summon his album, because if Kaiba summons his spirit monster before Bakura can summon his, Bakura will be in a world of trouble" the Mystery Duelist thought, studying the two characters.

Bakura drew. "I'm activating the magic card Double Spell, and I'll discard my Fusion magic card to copy Life-Shortening Treasure! Now I'm able to draw 5 new cards, but thanks to your Gateway Barrier, I won't be forced to discard 5 turns later!" he slyly grinned, drawing his 5 cards.

He snickered. "Hurry up so that I can win!" Kaiba impatiently demanded.

"You will soon learn to regret those words, fool! Now I'll use a magic card known as Dark Magic Puppeteer, allowing me to special summon a fiend monster from my deck! Rise up, my Portrait's Secret (1200/1500)!" he announced as a painting with a demon's head emerging from it materialized on the field.

"Next I'll sacrifice my Portrait's Secret to summon the almighty Diabound Carnal (1800/1200)!" he declared as his monster was absorbed into a dark portal, and from it emerged grey lightning, merging together to form a half-human, half-snake demon.

"What is that!?!?" Anzu moaned on the sidelines.

"I'm not sure, but my Millennium Puzzle is telling me it's not something we want to be facing." Yugi replied, his Millennium Puzzle glowing slightly, the Eye of Horus appearing on his forehead. Bakura's Millennium Ring glowed in response. He turned to face Yugi.

"Take a nice glimpse Yugi, for you will be facing this monster soon enough, and I guarantee you, your Black Magician will fall before it" Bakura mentally warned Yugi, who's attitude changed dramatically, as he and Bakura stared at each other for a long period of time, until Kaiba broke the silence.

"Ahem" he coughed, catching Bakura's attention.

"Oh how rude of me. You actually have Yugi to thank for that" Bakura told Kaiba, who snared in Yugi's direction. "Diabound Carnal, attack his Kaiser Seahorse!" The demon monster charged up a yellow fireball and hurled it at the mighty seahorse, until Kaiba intervened.

"Activate trap! Interdimensional Matter Transporter will automatically teleport my Kaiser Seahorse to a new dimension, protecting it and me from your attack!" Kaiba enlightened an unphased Bakura as a yellow sphere encased the Kaiser Seahorse, pulling it inside the machine, which then vanished from sight. The yellow fireball missed its mark, flying into the sky before disintegrating.

"Very well, I'll end my turn by setting three cards face down and activating a magic card known as Pit of Darkness! This allows me to send 5 monsters of the same type to my graveyard, and I'll choose to send 5 fiends" Bakura explained, as he selected 5 five monsters, discarding them to the graveyard. "In exchange, I gain 800 life points for each monster I discard, bringing me up to 7000!" he laughed as his life points skyrocketed. (B's LP: 7000)

Kaiba drew. "Kaiser Seahorse, return to the field!" he declared as his monster materialized on the field, returning from the different dimension. "Next, I will sacrifice my Kaiser Seahorse to summon the second of my all-powerful monsters, the Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)!" Kaiba declared as his seahorse disappeared vertically to be replaced by the second of Kaiba's great beasts. It roared just as powerful as the first.

"Impressive, now a real battle will begin" Bakura cleverly smirked.

"But before I attack, I increase the power of my Blue Eyes White Dragon by 300 points because I activate Dragon Treasure!" Kaiba shouted as his dragon glowed in purple light and grew slightly larger.

"That's it, now attack me!" thought Bakura, waiting for Kaiba to make a big mistake.

"What do you guys think, will Kaiba attack or give Bakura another turn to strike back?" Kevin wondered on the sidelines.

"If I were Kaiba, I'd attack and see what Bakura was hiding and devise a strategy to get around it. Underestimating a duelist like Bakura especially when he has Diabound Carnal on the field can be an extremely costly mistake. And remember, this duel holds far higher stakes than any normal game" Yugi suggested his idea.

"Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack his Diabound Carnal!" Kaiba demanded as his monster unleashed a stream of white lightning smashing through the demon monster. (B's LP: 5500)

Bakura coughed as the smoke destroying his monster was catastrophic. "I knew you wouldn't resist attacking my Diabound Carnal, and I'm about to make that the last mistake you'll ever have a chance to make! Reveal trap, Revival Ouiju! This card instantly special summons my Diabound Carnal back to the field ready to attack!" Bakura laughed as a stone tablet carved with the Raise Dead symbol appeared on the field. The tablet burst apart revealing Bakura's monster, angry at his previous destruction.

"So, my Blue Eyes White Dragon will smash through it again next turn!" threatened Kaiba.

"Not when I use the second of my three face down cards! Mirror Wall Ouiju will allow my Diabound Carnal to absorb half the attack points of any monster in the graveyard, and I choose to let it gain 1500 attack points, because I will use the first Blue Eyes White Dragon I destroyed in the first few turns of our duel!" snickered Bakura as the dragon was reborn from the graveyard, trapped inside a mirror tablet and destroying along with the tablet.

"Bakura had this all planned out. He wanted Kaiba to attack him so he could power up his Diabound Carnal, and Kaiba fell for it, but I must admit I'd do the same thing in his position. I wouldn't risk giving that thief another turn to build up a defense" the Mystery Duelist pondered.

Kaiba gritted his teeth. "Not only has he revived his Diabound Carnal, but he managed to power it up just as high as my Blue Eyes White Dragon."

"I end my turn!" spat Kaiba.

Bakura drew. "Diabound Carnal, attack his Blue Eyes White Dragon now!" he instructed. His Ka monster obeyed his command by firing a powerful yellow fireball at the Blue Eyes White Dragon. The dragon responded by opening its jaw, releasing a stream of white lightning. The two attacks met and clashed with terrible force, sending waves of smoke towards both players. After the smoke died down, neither monster was on the field, but both players' life points were still intact.

"Don't think you've seen the last of my Diabound Carnal. Yes Kaiba, he's going to return to the field, because I'm using this card! Chaos Revival! Not only does it revive my Diabound Carnal, but it revives it with the same amount of attack points it had before it was destroyed, setting my monster still at 3300 attack points!" he evilly chuckled.

Kaiba growled.

"Bakura's really playing an excellent strategy. Looking out for his Diabound Carnal, cutting through 2 of Kaiba's Blue Eyes extremely easily, and having almost 5 times as many life points as Kaiba does. I hate to say this, but Kaiba may actually lose this time." Yugi proclaimed.

"Finally to end my move, I'll play this magic card, Illegal Activity! During your next turn, you can't set a trap card without paying a fine. The fine is 2000 life points, and seeing as how you only have 1200, you won't be doing anything to stop my Diabound Carnal's onslaught! Face it, I never lost control of this match and now I'm going to finish this! Make your last move!" commanded Bakura.

Kaiba drew and growled. "Damn, not a monster!" he thought. "I'll set one card face down and end my turn" he sighed.

Bakura drew. "Hmm. This may prove useful later, if I can draw one more card to complete the strategy" he pondered, but was ready to call the ending attack.

"As much as it pains me to say this, I really don't want Kaiba to lose. Sure he may be a stuck up punk, but no one deserves to lose to Bakura." Joey stated.

"Diabound Carnal, attack and destroy Kaiba! There's no way you'll win! Face it Kaiba, prepare to enter the shadows forever!" Bakura chortled as his faithful monster charged up his fireball, aiming it directly at Kaiba.
