We retreated to the game shop and I was welcomed back with open arms, some less open than others (Kaiba). We regrouped and ventured out again, however our luck would not last long. As we pushed through the stampeding masses of fleeing citizens a piercing cackle broke through, Weevil Underwood. He was all business this time. Tristian stepped forward to challenge the insect duelist "are you sure you want to do this Tristian," Joey asked. Tristian stood firm and we moved on to help restore order. Shortly after we received a transmission from Thor, he had moved the ships into attack position and destroyed one of the ships. We checked in on Bra'tac, he had begun the air and land battles and the aerial battle was going smoothly, it's terrestrial counter-part was not going badly but it was not going well either. As we neared Osiris' ship Kull Warriors bearing alien duel disks began to appear. We tried to avoid them but two of them found us. Duke and Mai activated their duel disks and told us to keep going. Things were going well enough, until we ran into trouble, double trouble.
From the Report of Cornel Samantha Carter
Joey seemed shocked. The two Jaffa before us activated their duel disks. "I though we were rid of you," Joey screamed. "You thought wrong" "for that you'll pay" "in not too long" "you'll rue the day" "that you enraged" "Para and Dox" "inside that maze". General O'Neill rolled his eyes. I asked who they were and Tea told me that they were called the Paradox Brothers and that they were eliminators hired during Duelist Kingdom to test Yugi. "You two are hardly worth our time," a voice cried from behind us, dressed in a trench coat, eyes glowing yellow Bakura grinned sadistically. We were all shocked that Bakura had returned to help us. He stepped up and readied his duel disk, I followed his lead. General O'Neill asked me what I was doing and I told him that I was going to duel them. General O'Neill ordered me not too but I protested. I needed to try to duel now, before the real tough stuff. Finally General O'Neill relented and the group began to move on. Suddenly there were explosions all around us and the intersection we were standing on caved in. "You may not leave" "until we fall" "we have the keys" "but it matters not as death will take you all". Joey protested saying that if we were stuck here that he should duel in my place but the brothers stated that the challengers had accepted, which was fine with me.
From the Report of Brigadier General Jack O'Neill
Carter went first. She played her Science Soldier (800/800) and ended her turn. Then it was Para's turn. He played a facedown magic card. Bakura broke the mold, sparing no time playing The Portrait's Secret (1200/1500) and two face down magic or trap cards. It was Dox, however, who really started the duel by playing Graceful Charity. He got rid of a Shadow Ghoul and a Dungeon Worm by its effect. Then he special summoned a Rock Sentry (1300/1700) and tributed it for his Labyrinth Wall (0/3000). The twins laughed like idiots for a while and flipped around like a bad martial arts comedy before ending their turn leaving a confused Carter to find a way out of their maze. Carter handled it like a Cornel should, she tributed her Science Soldier for Gadget Soldier (1800/2000) and played Different Dimension Gate removing the wall. Dox was already down to 2200 life points, and I was starting to get this game. Para then played a face down magic or trap card and Monster Reborn to bring back his brother's Shadow Ghoul (1600/1200) and then flipped Magical Labyrinth, tributing the ghoul to special summon Wall Shadow (1600/3000). Bakura did nothing on his turn but his confidence probably swayed Dox from attacking, the kid was a skilled strategist. Playing Monster Tamer (1700/1500) by using Snatch Steal on Portrait's Secret, Dox ended his turn. It wouldn't take long for the brothers to draw a card capable of destroying the "Different Dimension Gate", Labyrinth Wall would return and force Carter and Bakura to attempt to navigate through it while their Wall Shadow ran rampant. I just hoped that they would find a way out of it.

Samantha was good. With Bakura backing her up I really thought that they would win. Sam played nothing but attacked the Monster Tamer, sadly it's special effect allowed Dox to have Para's Wall Shadow block and Samantha took 1200 damage leaving her with 2800 life points. I never lost faith in her though; I knew she'd figure a way out of this. Then Para took the game up a notch. He used Cost Down and Wall Shadow to tribute summon the box of Kaze-jin of the Wind. Then Bakura did something none of us could understand, he played the Dark Designator and forced Dox to draw his Sanga of Thunder. Bakura played The Headless Knight (1200/1700) and ended his turn. Dox, eager to defeat Sam and Ryou, played Tribute to the Doomed, destroying the knight and discarding Suijin of Water, the last of the trinity. Things were looking bad for Samantha and Ryou.

From the Notes of Dr. Daniel Jackson
It was Bakura's move now. He played a monster face down. Dox was sick of waiting, Wall back in place and Gate Guardian within his grasp he played Premature Burial lowering his life points to 1400 to summon back Suijin of Water. Gate Guardian (3750/3400) was formed, and Sam was worried, she understood the danger that Gate Guardian posed. But the Paradox brothers weren't done yet; they wanted to make sure there were no survivors. Para flipped a magic card, Elemental Punishment. It was a rare card that allowed an effect for each type of monster on the field; for Water monsters like Suijin it allowed the negation of all other magic cards, Wind monsters like Kaze-jin prevented all players from entering the battle phase, for Earth monsters like the Labyrinth Wall it prevented all new summoning, for the absent Fire attribute monsters it caused 200 points of damage to all other players each turn, for Light monsters like Sanga it negated the effects of trap cards, and for Dark Monsters like Bakura's Flame of Darkened Souls it allowed the controller to bypass the no attacking rule and negate flip effects. Such a card was unbelievably rare and nearly impossible to defeat, luckily the card was balanced by a steep cost of 3500 life points.

This was very bad for Cornel Carter. The combination of effects from having 5 of the 6 attributes of monsters on the field had completely removed Bakura from the game. Without the ability to summon, attack, or activate any cards Bakura was completely shut out. Cornel Carter drew but could do nothing. The Paradox Brothers could have attacked Bakura and won right then and there but their intention was never such. They planned to cut off Cornel Carter from all support and wipe her out as proof of their authority. The twins cackled and General O'Neill began to assault Seto Kaiba with desperate questions. Daniel Jackson stood firm out of respect for Cornel Carter but Masaki diverted her eyes. Cornel Carter could not set or summon any new monsters and was unable to use any magic or trap cards, even the typical last resort of a flip effect monster was closed to her, she ended her turn with a hung head and closed eyes. Para ordered Gate Guardian to attack; Cornel Carter's lone monster was her only defense against Gate Guardian and the Labyrinth Tank. Masaki was crying, indeed there was cause, we had all nearly forgotten that more than respect or rewards were at steak. The Attack neared the final card. As the hidden monster appeared it was enveloped within the blast. It was destroyed, sent to the Graveyard. But without warning the remainder of the tempest of wind, water, and thunder disappeared into a swirl of blue, one we were all very well acquainted with.
