Chapter 35: Bakura v. Kaiba, Part 2: The Calling of Death
"Diabound Carnal, attack!" commanded Bakura. His monster did nothing to respond. "What the hell? I command you to attack Kaiba's life points NOW!" he shouted, more angrily. "This must be some of your work Kaiba!" his attention turned towards his opponent, whose face down card was activated. A totem pole with two loudspeakers on the end materialized on the field, emitting sound waves blocking out Diabound Carnal's hearing temporarily.
"Yes, this was my doing! I activated my face down magic card, Command Silencer, sending out sonic waves canceling out Diabound Carnal's hearing temporarily, and not allowing him to hear your command! He can't do anything for you this turn" smirked Kaiba, as he drew another card. "Also, the second effect of my cards allows me to draw one card."
Bakura hurried along. "Fine, I'll set one card face down and summon Necro Mannequin (500/500) in defense mode" his monster appeared on the field. It was white and had several limbs and its head rearranged on different parts of the body, holding itself up with its hands. It moaned an eerie, deathlike moan.
"What's up with that monster Yugi?" Joey asked his friend on the sidelines.
"I'm not sure, but if it only has 500 attack points and Bakura keeps it in his deck, it must have some special ability that Kaiba may find out a little too much more than he wants to. But knowing Kaiba's knowledge of cards, he probably knows a possible way to counter it" Yugi responded.
Kaiba drew. "First, I'm activating Card of Sanctity, requiring both of us to draw until we hold 6 cards!" Kaiba explained as he drew 4 cards from his deck, while Bakura drew 3. Bakura flashed an evil grin, noticing which cards he was lucky enough to draw. "Now I'll use this card to resummon my Blue Eyes White Dragon, and destroy your Diabound Carnal!"
"You lie!" Bakura retorted, wondering what Kaiba could be planning.
"I think not! I activate Jaws of Life! This card will instantly special summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500) back on the field, but will increase its attack power by 1000 points this turn! (4000/2500)!" Everyone gasped at the sudden turn of events. In a flurry, Kaiba's prized dragon re-materialized on the field. It grew in light-blue energy and grew 1/3 larger, its attack points also increasing.
"Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack Diabound Carnal with your White Lightning attack!" commanded Kaiba as his dragon's jaw opened, creating static and then a stream of white lightning that aimed at the demonic monster, smashing through it easily. (B's LP: 4800)
"I'll activate my trap card! Necri Cycle will instantly allow me to special summon a Necro Mannequin from my deck to the field in defense position" Bakura pointed at a vacant space, instantly filled with another dysfunctional white monster, moaning grimly.
"Hmm. I wonder what else Bakura has planned with those monsters" Kevin wondered.
"Even I'm not sure what Bakura's planning. Those monsters have no effects, and they barely have any attack or defense points. He's got something bigger planned for Kaiba, and he's leading Kaiba along like a dog following a string" Miranda (the Mystery Duelist) pointed out, the first time anyone heard her say anything. The gang decided to focus on the duel at hand, then make friends with her.
"Whatever. I'm setting a card face down on the field and ending my turn" Kaiba announced.
Bakura drew. "It doesn't matter to me because I'm summoning Necro Soldier (0/0) in defense mode! Then, I'm using this magic card, Heavy Storm to wipe out all magic and trap cards on the field!" he added, as his gust shattered each and every magic or trap card on the field.
"Next, I'll set two cards face down and end my turn" he slyly added as the gang looked on cautiously.
"Hmm. Why would Bakura destroy every magic and trap card on the field, and then set a card face down? There's no sense in him clearing the field" Joey wondered.
"Wait. There's only one card of Bakura's I know that he would use that combo on" Yugi revealed.
In the meantime, Kaiba drew. "Hold on!" Bakura cut off Kaiba. "I'm using my trap card, Ouija Board!" sprung his trap. A black board materialized on the field, revealing every Arabic letter and number. A ghostly, demonic, pale blue hand held a highlighter at the top of the board. The demonic hand raced across the board, highlighting the letter "D". A ghostly writing of the letter "D" appeared in a pale blue spiritual background. Bakura smirked evilly, while Kaiba didn't make any sign of emotion.
"You should be quite aware of the devastating effect my Ouija Board holds! In just four short turns, it will spell out the death message, and you will automatically lose the game and your very soul!" chuckled Bakura, as Kaiba seemed unfazed about the proclamation.
"It's just as I thought" Yugi told himself mentally.
"Hmm. I wonder if Kaiba can spin out a strategy to defeat the Ouija Board" Kevin wondered.
"Then I'll activate the effect of my new Necro Soldier! It allows me to special summon another Necro Soldier!" He declared as his first soldier moved to another monster space, as Kaiba noticed a clone was coming out of its shadow, now there being 4 monsters on Bakura's side of the field. "But I'll use the effect of my new monster and summon another one!" he laughed as his monster reproduced again, now filling up Bakura's field with monsters. "Finally, I'll use my trap, Life Collapse! This card lets me summon my second death message automatically, placing me one turn ahead of your monster!" Bakura explained as the highlighter raced to "E" and an eerie version of the letter appeared on the field.
"I'll go on with my move now! I'll set one card face down and then I'll summon Vorse Raider (1900/1200) in attack mode! Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500), attack one of his Necro Mannequin's!" commanded Kaiba as his faithful monster unleashed a stream of white lightning, completely impaling the mannequin, who was easily overcome by the blast.
"Next, I'll send my Vorse Raider to attack your second Necro Mannequin!" Kaiba's monster sent its axe spiraling at the mannequin, slicing it diagonally, before the axe make a u turn in mid-air, returning to the beast-warrior's hand.
"I'll end my turn now" Kaiba declared, as the highlighter whizzed to the letter "A" and the letter appeared in a fancy style with a pale blue, eerie background.
"That's the third letter, just two more and you're dead!" evilly pointed out Bakura, while he drew. "I'll bet Kaiba's set card is a trap. He thinks I'll go after his Blue Eyes White Dragon again, but I know better than that. I'll just have to find some way to bind my time until my Ouija Board completes itself. But if that task fails, I've got two cards in my hand that will easily win me the duel" he fingered two cards in his hand.
"Look at that smirk on Bakura's face. He's got to be up to something" Kevin noticed.
"You're definitely right. Bakura knows Kaiba has some kind of strategy he's going to use to erase his Ouija Board, and I bet Bakura wants him to do it. But that's also a tough spot for Kaiba. If he does destroy Ouija Board, he'll set himself up for Bakura's trap. On the other side, if he lets the Ouija Board stay on the field, he'll automatically lose in just 2 turns!" Yugi replied to his companion.
"I'll use this magic card, the Dark Designator!" Bakura shouted as his magic card's effect triggered.
"What does that card do?" Anzu wondered.
"Well, you see Anzu, this card lets Bakura name any monster in the entire game of Duel Monsters, and if that card's in Kaiba's deck, then it lets Kaiba add that card to his hand, but why would Bakura be helping out Kaiba, unless....he plans to web Kaiba deeper and deeper into his true trap!" a shocked Yugi responded.
"Well, hurry up and name a card!" Kaiba impatiently demanded.
"Very well, I'll name a card I know you keep in your deck! I choose the Lord of Dragons!" Bakura announced as the green magic card transformed into a green essence, and struck Kaiba's deck. The Lord of Dragons card ejected itself from Kaiba's deck, which Kaiba picked up, adding it to his hand. "That will complete my turn" Bakura glanced at his Ouija Board.
Kaiba snatched the top card off his deck. "Now to protect my Blue Eyes White Dragon from your magic and trap cards is my Lord of Dragons (1200/1100) in attack mode!" he announced as his monster, a wizard with gleaming yellow eyes protected well by rows of bones materialized on the field.
"Just as I knew that fool would" Bakura chuckled to himself.
"As you are probably well aware, my Lord of Dragons will protect my Blue Eyes White Dragon and any other dragons on the field from the effects of your monster, magic, and trap cards!" Kaiba added.
"Lord of Dragons protects Kaiba's monsters, so there has to be a reason Bakura let Kaiba use that" Kevin proclaimed to his comrades.
"Now Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack his Necro Soldier!" commanded Kaiba as his dragon unleashed a stream of white lightning smashed into the soldier, eliminating him from the field. "Vorse Raider, attack!" he added as his beast-warrior shot his axe-boomerang slicing the second of the Necro Soldiers, destroying him effortlessly. "Finally, I send Lord of Dragons to attack!" The wizard unleashed flaming blue energy that took on the shape of the dragon, colliding with the Necro Soldier and smoldering it into ash which blew away from the field. "Now you have no defense! Next turn I win this duel!"
Bakura disagreed. "I can assure you I will be the one to walk away from here victorious! First, the devastating powers of my Ouija Board activate! Death Message T is here!" he smiled as his highlighter was placed over "T" and the letter appeared above the board. "One more turn Kaiba! However, I still must go through this turn, so now I'll set this one card face down and end my turn"
Kaiba drew. "Reveal trap! Thunder of Ruler, activate!" sprung Bakura as small lightning bolts reigned down from the sky, paralyzing Kaiba's monsters. He emitted a small growl.
"Oh well. I'll activate Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw 2 cards from my deck!" Kaiba explained, snatching the top 2 cards from his deck. "Then, I'll use this magic card, Tribute Doll, to sacrifice my Lord of Dragons to!" he explained as his monster was magically dragged inside a musty, brown coffin. The coffin then sealed shut and exploded, but from the smoke following the explosion, a diamond-covered white dragon roared. Its forehead was protected by two golden horns and a stripe down its body was golden. It roared. "Meet my Hyozanryu (2100/2800), who will destroy your Ouija Board before it completes its deadly message!" Kaiba threatened.
"I beg to differ. Your monster can't attack me, nor does it possess any special effects. What destruction, besides your own, do you speak of" wondered Bakura.
"I'm talking about me activating this magic card! It's known as A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon! As soon as I return my Hyozanryu to my hand, this card will automatically destroy every magic and trap card on the field!" he explained as his dragon's essence flew into the card, and Kaiba snatched it off the plate, setting off a chain reaction. A giant gust of wind emerged from the magic card, blasting away all of Bakura's Death Messages. However, instead of feeling gloomy, he was smiling.
"Apparently, Bakura wanted Kaiba to destroy his Death Messages. He must have been using them to stall until he could reveal his ultimate strategy" Miranda told the gang.
"Yes, that sounds like a tactic of Bakura's" Yugi added to the comment.
"That just leaves one question" Joey continued the conversation.
"What's that?" Kevin asked.
"What's Bakura's true strategy?" Joey replied.
"Thank you Kaiba! You've allowed me to refill my magic and trap slots and I promise you, I will utilize that opportunity. I only used the Ouija Board to buy time until I could reveal my true intentions for this duel, and now I can do that thanks to a magic card I drew during the turns my Ouija Board inhabited the field! It's my move, so now I'll draw" which he did.
"Whatever he comes up with, I'll have to counter it. It'll be the only way I can re-challenge Yugi and gain the respect I deserve as being crowned the number-one duelist in the entire world! Ever since the day he last defeated me at Battle City, I've strived long and hard to become the top player again"
---- FLASHBACK--------
"Next, I'll use my Diffusion Wave-Motion card!" Yugi declared.
"What's that?!!" a nervous Kaiba asked.
"As soon as I pay 1000 of my life points, it allows my Dark Paladin to attack each and every card on the field! You lose Kaiba! Dark Paladin, attack!" commanded Yugi as his faithful magician raised his staff in the air, the tip of it becoming encased in blue energy. The energy then expanded into rings, beheading all 3 of Kaiba's beloved Blue Eyes White Dragons. He watched his life points lower to 0 in disbelief.
"It's impossible! I had the perfect strategy!" Kaiba complained.
"I'm afraid my Dark Paladin would disagree, because thanks to his attack, you've lost! Kaiba you will never win with anger and hatred in your heart!" Yugi told his enemy-ally.
"Save it Yugi. I don't rely on friends to win. I've learned that I truly need to depend on myself, but since there's no one else I depend upon, there's also no one else I have to blame. As for the rules, take my rarest card!" and with that, Kaiba swiftly threw Yugi his Obelisk card, knowing that his journey in Battle City had finally ended.
----- END FLASHBACK---
"Yugi stole my title from me that day, so I must strive to win it back! But to do that, I must stop remembering the past and concentrating on the present. It's still his move, and none of the cards in my hand are extremely helpful, now there's only one place in the entire world I can rely on: my deck" Kaiba closed his eyes briefly.
"Are you ready, because it's time to choose! I'm activating a permanent magic card called Cursed Necros Twins!" Bakura proclaimed as two demonic dolls, one in a red dress, and one in a blue dress materialized on the field. The one in the red dress held a black box with yellow ribbon tied in a bow on top, while the one in the blue dress held a red box with yellow ribbon tied in a bow on top. Kaiba wondered what this trick was.
"Guys, what do you think is in those boxes?" Tristan questioned his friends.
"I'm not sure, and I think we'll soon find out" Kevin replied.
"I just hope Kaiba knows what that card does, or he could have big problems." Anzu commented.
"This magic card lets each of us choose a box. However, I'll be kind, which I'm normally not, and let you choose" Bakura teased, as Kaiba's eyes shifted from box to box.
"What could possibly be in those boxes?? One red and one black... I'd better go with the red one, because black usually symbolizes something bad to happen" contemplated Kaiba. "I choose the red box!" he announced, pointing at his choice.
"Wise decision! Choosing the red box allows you to gain 200 life points for every card that is sent to the graveyard from this point forward!" Bakura congratulated his opponent for his decision.
"Well, you said both of us must choose a box! I demand that you reveal the contents of the black box!" Kaiba impatiently demanded.
"As you wish! The black box will return every card in my graveyard to the field!" He explained as his graveyard slot emitted an eerie green glow as all the cards in Bakura's graveyard appeared behind and above him, this time as small green flames.
Kaiba growled. Bakura took notice of this.
"Don't worry. No card in the entire game will affect my monsters, and now I'm about to expand the abilities of my black box! I summon Death Caliber Knight (1900/1800) to the field in attack mode! Then, I'll use another magic card, this one known as Graveyard Pulse! Since I have no monster cards in my graveyard, you cannot attack me!" Bakura smiled and chuckled.
"So he wanted Kaiba to choose the red box, and now Kaiba won't be able to attack!" Yugi realized.
"Very perceptive, Yugi" Bakura added. (It's not like the duelists can't hear anyone but their opponents...)
"Now I'll set one card face down and use the magic card Fountain of Black Magic! This card increases the attack of all my Dark Monsters by 300 points every turn! So now my Death Caliber Knight gains 300 attack points! Go, Death Caliber Knight (2200/1800), attack Vorse Raider!" commanded Bakura as his monster unleashed a black energy sword and created a black and purple demonic energy wave, smashing into the beast-warrior, melting it. (K's LP: 450) (A/N: Special thanks to "Red-Eyes Black Serpent Dragon" for the correction in life point counts.)
"Augh. He set me up in a trap. My Blue Eyes White Dragon won't be able to attack, and in just 3 turns, his monster will be more powerful than mine! There has to be a way I can break out of his trap!" Kaiba thought.
"Wow. Bakura really has Kaiba on the ropes!" pointed out Joey. "I've never seen the rich boy sweat so much"
Kaiba drew. "I summon Spirit Ryu (1000/1000) in defense mode and end my turn!" he declared as his blue dragon appeared on the field.
Bakura drew. "I'm activating the magic of Insurance! As soon as I pay 1000 life points, (B's LP: 3800) I can draw 4 cards" he drew, making his hand now hold 7 cards. "Heh heh. Just what I need to defeat you, Kaiba! Activate the field card, Magical Reproduction, allowing me to play up to 10 magic and trap cards, at the price of paying 2000 life points when I play it! (B's LP: 1800), such a small price to pay for a giant effect.
"Just get on with your turn!" Kaiba shot back.
"Gladly, because now I'll activate a card that will slice your deck each turn! Go, Killing the Counterbalance! This card will force both of us to discard cards from our decks equal to the number of monsters on the field, if the player has cards in his graveyard!" Bakura explained as Kaiba realized this was another piece of Bakura's plan.
"Now I'll be forced to discard cards while he doesn't discard any. Plus, since his ghost monsters are counted as monsters, I'll be discarding several cards at a time! My deck has less than 25 cards left, so in a few turns if I can't find a way to rid the field of his spells, I'll lose!" Kaiba disbelieved in horror.
"Man guys, this duel is really tough on Kaiba. Bakura's always had the upper hand ever since his very first turn" Kevin told.
"You're right Kevin, Kaiba's really got himself a challenge against Bakura, and now that Kaiba will be forced to discard during each and every one of his turns, he'll lose the duel much faster" Yugi persisted.
"Now I'll activate Time Travel, speeding up the clock by 3 turns, and letting my Death Caliber Knight gain 900 attack points!" Bakura declared as his monster drank from the Fountain of Black Magic, enhancing its strength. (3100/1800) "But luckily for you, I'm forced to skip my battle phase this turn, so I'll end my turn!" he explained as Kaiba's eyes shifted from his opponent's face to his one face-down card.
"The card must be a trap, and as soon as I make an attack he'll activate it. I just hope it won't be something that can really damage me. In case it does though, my Gift of the Mystical Elf trap card should seriously boost my life points, so I remain in the game a little longer" Kaiba planned while he drew his newest card.
"I'll set two cards face down on the field and switch my Blue Eyes White Dragon into defense mode!" he explained as his dragon folded its wings into a defensive stance, ready to attempt to block an attack thrown its way.
"Don't think your turn is over yet!" quickly cut Bakura.
"Yes, I know" Kaiba sighed, pulling his deck out of his deck holster. He flipped through it, pondering over which cards he should discard.
"You're now forced to immediately discard 9 cards from your deck, leaving you with just 15!" Bakura smiled as his opponent's deck was cut by 9 cards, as Kaiba decided on which 9 would be discarding this turn, shoving them into his graveyard slot. "However, luckily for you, you get to gain 1800 life points due to the effect of the red box" he waved in the direction of the red box, which briefly glowed as Kaiba's life points raised. (K's LP: 2250)
"Oh yeah, I guess there is one upside to all that discarding" Kaiba remembered.
Bakura drew. "Remember! My Death Caliber Knight gains 300 attack points. (3400/1800) Next, I'll use this magic card, Defending Seal of Dead Spirits! This card forces one of your monsters into attack mode!" he happily enlightened Kaiba.
"No! My final Blue Eyes White Dragon will be destroyed!" Kaiba angrily recognized.
"I won't be changing your Blue Eyes White Dragon! I'll use my magic card to switch Spirit Ryu into attack mode! Now go Death Caliber Knight, attack and destroy his Spirit Ryu! Kill Kaiba!" commanded Bakura as his knight unleashed his black and purple energy blast, ready to blow up his dragon and eliminate the last of his life points. However, before the attack hit, Kaiba had two cards to activate.
"First, I'm activating the powers of my Gift of the Mystical Elf, to refresh my life points by 2700, 300 for each monster on the field!" explained Kaiba as his life points skyrocketed up past the starting amount. (K's LP: 4950)
"That still won't stop my attack!" Bakura claimed.
"My first card may not, but this one will! Shadow Spell, activate!" Kaiba called as chains wrapped around the demonic knight, canceling out his attack and tightly squeezing him until he was unable to move.
"No! You've stopped my attack and reduced my monster's attack power by 700! (2700/1800)" Bakura knew the effects of the Shadow Spell card.
"Augh! I'll end my turn!"
Kaiba drew. "I'll set one card face down and then activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Graveyard Pulse trap!" A typhoon reigned from the sky, sucking up the magic card and ridding the game of its effect. "Next, I'll switch Blue Eyes White Dragon into attack mode! Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack his Death Caliber Knight!" commanded Kaiba as his faithful monster unleashed its white lightning attack, smashing through the chains and eliminating the Death Caliber Knight. However, the monster's soul transformed into a green flame and joined the other flames behind Bakura.
"Have your fun while you can Kaiba, because now it's my turn and I can guarantee you, your fun won't last!" Bakura threatened.
"Heh. Is that so? Well my move isn't over yet! I reveal my face down card, Sky Assault, which lets me pay 1000 life points (K's LP: 3950) to let my Blue Eyes White Dragon attack again! Go, Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack Bakura's life points directly and end the duel!" demanded Kaiba as his monster's jaw opened and it created another blast of white lightning, this time aimed at Bakura.
"Reverse trap card, Dead Dragon Zoma! This is the final card that will be used in the duel!" Bakura smiled as his dragon made of pure air that had a red jewel on its head appeared on the field, effortlessly absorbing the white lightning assault.
"What does that card do??! There's no way it could have stopped an attack as powerful as my Blue Eyes White Dragon's White Lightning Attack!" Kaiba retorted.
"It just did, but I'm afraid it gets far worse! Now my Dead Dragon Zoma will gain be able to attack your life points directly!" Bakura explained.
"And do what?! It has no attack points!" Kaiba responded.
"It does now! It gains twice the attack points of the monster you used to attack it, namely your Blue Eyes! Do the math Kaiba!" Bakura chuckled.
"It has...6000 attack points" Kaiba calculated.
"That's right! Dead Dragon Zoma (6000/0), attack Kaiba's life points directly and end the match!" he explained as the dead dragon bypassed Kaiba's Blue Eyes White Dragon, heading straight for the duelist himself. However, to Bakura's surprise, his dead dragon smashed into a ring of white shields, and dispersed into the air.
Bakura gasped. "What the hell is going on?!!? Your life points should be at 0!"
"I beg to differ. I've been saved thanks to my Ring of Defense card! It protects me from all life point damage from magic or trap cards this turn!" Kaiba rejoice fully explained, his life points still intact at 3950.
"I'll end my turn now" smiled Kaiba for once in the duel.
Bakura drew. "Now it's time for me to seriously begin dueling! Prepare to plunge into eternal darkness and despair! Meet the return of my strongest monster, Diabound Carnal! The resurrection is now and your defeat will follow! There's no way to stop my Diabound Carnal! Give up Kaiba!" evilly chuckled Bakura, raising one card in his hand high into the air.
