From the Jaffa Book of Tales as Translated by Dr. Daniel Jackson
Apophis cringed at the sight of his beaten monster. I was going to finish him off soon. I tributed my mage and summoned a new monster, Gigagagagigo (2450/1500). Another 100 points closer to defeat Apophis attempted to buy time using magic cards, but I destroyed them the following turn and robbed him of another 2450 life points. Apophis was at his end, only 500 points away from defeat he made a last desperate stand. Playing two magic or trap cards, Apophis revealed his stratagem. He was going to play a card that could char my body down to its bones. He activated a magic card, Advent of Shadow. The card requires six other monsters or magic or trap cards to be on the field to summon a powerful monstrosity. In only a few turns, he promised, he would have the last card necessary. I would not trust a word from his wretched maw for anything, but I did not have the skill to risk him telling the truth. I played Oppressed People (100/2000) in defense mode. It was only then I realized that I had left Gigagagagigo in attack mode. Only one turn after declaring it Apophis drew his card, but played it facedown. I drew, gamble, not helpful in any way. I played United Resistance (1000/600) without thinking, though it was in defense mode, I was too worried about loosing the duel; it was shame enough I had played. I had nothing that could help me left in my hand, only high-level monsters and unuseful magic cards. Apophis grinned and set a random magic card; in response he activated three Avatars of Apophis. Then his magic card took effect, tributing one avatar he summoned Apophis – Great God of Darkness. Apophis' atk was equal to twice that of anything that attacked it plus 300 if there was Avatar of Apophis on the field and 500 if the monster tributed was an Avatar of Apophis. Its base power was a mere 800 points but that would hastily become greater if either of us entered the battle phase. He attacked Gigagagagigo and my life points dwindled by a number of I lost – Daniel 3250 life points – Daniel Jackson. I was closing in on my defeat. I had shamed the Jaffa. I drew my card but didn't look at it, the glimpse of purple showed me that it was a trap but nothing could help me now. I played it as a fraught bluff. I looked at my last playable card, People Running About (600/600); it was a sad reminder of the early days of the Jaffa rebellion.
From the Notes of Dr. Daniel Jackson
I was climbing as fast as I could, but it was hopeless, if I continued at this rate I'd collapse. I slowed my pace. In a short while I was just about to the top. I looked on and knew that either my deck or my Colt would be used in the near future.
From the Unofficial Account of Colonel Samantha Carter
I chose my card, D.D. Warrior Lady. It was hard to choose any one card, but the card was true to me. I wasn't a scientist anymore, I was a soldier. General O'Neill returned shortly after this and we moved on. We had only been walking a short while when I asked the inevitable question. "Mr. Kaiba?" "Just Kaiba will do it's not a rank, Colonel" "give it up kid I'm amazed she calls me General O'Neill," General O'Neill had a point but I ignored it. "Kaiba-kun," I started, I felt better giving him some sort of title, he accepted it "what's the story with these Egyptian God Cards". "The god cards were created by Maximillion Pegasus just like all the other Duel Monsters Cards, however they are as far beyond a normal Duel monster as normal Duel Monsters are beyond baseball cards". Tea interrupted "Kaiba-kun, that isn't not the whole story and you know it" Mr. Kaiba gave a gruff sigh in response, leaving Tea to explain, "the Egyptian God Monsters once attacked the old world her less that stellar English didn't allow her to express the gravity of the events – Daniel. They are only be played by special duelist Japanese has no plurals or future tense – Daniel descended from old Egypt. The user must also know how to speak the language of old Egypt" Mr. Kaiba stopped her there "what a joke, I can barely speak German you're telling me that I know Herietic". This was one of the most interesting things Kaiba had said all day; he had clearly spoken some form of Egyptian language just before summoning Obelisk. "Think what you want to Kaiba, but it is truth. The God Card attach probably meaning hold the secrets of the Pharaoh's memory. Each one holds a special power and when combined they are impossible to defend against". Mr. Kaiba looked angry "Yugi stole my Obelisk at Battle City, but now I have it back", "Tea and Mr. Kaiba argued in Japanese for a few moments before ending the conversation leaving me even more interested by these Egyptian God Cards.
