Duelist Haven Control Center
"Is he still there?" Seto Kaiba was beginning to get angry. Since early in the Tournament yesterday a black clad figure had been standing in front of the islands medical center. He'd been challenged several times and destroyed all of his opponents with no visible effort. Normally this wouldn't have rated the attention of the head of the Kaiba Corporation, but in his last Duel a very special monster card was played.
"Yes sir, he's still there. According to the systems his current star point rating is twelve. He's eliminated three Duelists and the card was played less than six hours ago." The technician replied, working the computers keyboard bringing up the duel on the main monitor.
The monster was unmistakable, Obelisk was delivering his primary attack, the God Hand Crusher.
"Obelisk..." Kaiba smiled and left the office. Moments later he was on a helicopter headed towards the medical center.
Duelist Haven Medical Center
There he stood, Seto could see the cloaked figure from the helicopter as it approached the ground level helipad and settled. The figures cloak whipping about in the violent winds the vehicles spinning blades produced.
"Kaiba, at last you bless me with your presence. It's good to see you again, though you didn't see me at the time." The cloaked figure said as Kaiba stepped down from the helicopter ducking slightly. His white coat whipping around in the wind, His bright blue eyes locked on the figure.
As soon as Kaiba was clear the helicopter lifted and headed south east, back to the main control center for Duelist Haven Island.
"I'll be taking that God card now. You can hand it over and avoid the humiliation of loosing it to me in a duel." Kaiba said sternly.
"Come now Kaiba, you don't really expect it to be that easy do you?" The figure spat, laughing slightly. His gravely voice rasping slightly.
"Fine. If you want to do it the hard way we will. Let's Duel!" Kaiba responded whipping his left arm forward and locking his Duel Disk in place.
"Very well Kaiba. Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Velius of the Ghouls." Velius said, locking his black Duel Disk into place and lowering his hood revealing a drawn pale face and blood red eyes.
"And I'll go first." The Ghoul added setting two magic and trap cards as well as one monster in defense mode.
"Fine, I'll summon Vorse Raider and set three magic or trap cards." Kaiba hadn't finished setting his cards when Velius interrupted.
"Not so fast Kaiba, I'll activate the trap card Torrential Tribute which destroys all monsters on the field." Velius finished his explanation and giant geysers of water smashed down on both sides of the field.
"Thanks to my monster, the Witch of the Black Forest's effect though I get to take a card from my deck and add it to my hand, and I choose Gemini Elf." Velius added and began searching his deck.
Kaiba meanwhile, growled slightly in frustration.
"I'll just end my turn then." Kaiba replied, the frustration showing on his face.
"Get use to being defenseless Kaiba, My deck and my skills far surpass your own." Velius commented as he drew his card.
"Perfect! I activate the magic card, Graceful Charity which allows me to draw three additional cards and then discard two." Velius explained as he drew three new cards.
"Oh and look at this. A powerful monster from your past has decided to grace our Duel with its presence." Velius said as he held up the card he'd decided to keep, The blue skinned monster in the image seemed to pulse with life as it was bathed in the light of the sun.
"You're getting awfully confident. What makes you think I'm going to let you use that card?" Kaiba smirked. His blue eyes narrowed as he stared down Velius.
"How to propose to stop me, You've got no monsters on the field to attack me and Magic cards can only affect God cards for one turn, and trap cards don't have any effect on them at all!" Velius was sure Kaiba had no way to stop him from summoning Obelisk.
'That's right you fool. Keep thinking you're invincible as long as you hold that card. Let your confidence blind you.' Kaiba thought to himself as he eyed the cards in his hand. Though he was loathe to admit it he'd learned a few tricks from his rival Yugi Muto. Every card had a weakness, and they could always be exploited by a strong Duelist.
"Now Kaiba, I'll summon my Gemini Elf and attack you directly!" Velius shouted, a wild look in his eyes as the two female elves chanted briefly and launched a wave of mystical energy at Kaiba.
"Not so fast Velius! Activate NEGATE ATTACK!" Kaiba declared, just as the attack was about to slam into him it was absorbed into what looked like a ripple in space.
"You're not the only one with trap cards." Kaiba smiled at Velius, a sinister glint in his eyes.
"But I am the only one in this duel with a God on his side, because of that I'll be the winner!" Velius shot back as he ended his turn.
Kaiba drew his card, his heart beat was increasing a small bit of sweat formed on his brow. 'This isn't such a bad Duel. a good warm up for when I take those Blue Eyes cards from that low level then beat Yugi.' Kaiba thought as he looked over the cards in his hand.
"I'll set one monster in defense mode then activate the magic card, Card Destruction. Our current hands are discarded and we draw the same number of cards." Kaiba announced as he slid the remaining two cards in his hand into the graveyard slot and drew two more cards.
Velius was livid, his ace in the hole was gone. He could revive it if he got a Monster reborn but it would only be on the field for one turn before it was destroyed again. 'What's he so smug about? He lost his hand too. He had to have given up some good cards in that move.' He thought to himself as he drew his cards.
'DAMN!' he shouted mentally, in the four cards he'd drawn there wasn't anything of considerable use to him.
"Well, I'll just set this magic or trap card and end my turn then." Kaibas smile never faded. He knew the duel was his. All thanks to the little beast in his hand.
Velius drew his card and cursed under his breath, still no Monster Reborn.
"I'll equip my Gemini Elf with this card, The Axe of Despair. Bring their attack rating to twenty-nine hundred, Then I'll have my beauties attack your set monster!" Velius had just done exactly what Kaiba had wanted him to do. The amplified attack of the Gemini Elf slammed into the face down card which flipped to reveal, a Cyber Jar.
In an instant both the Cyber Jar and the Gemini Elf were gone and the words "Draw Five" appeared on the Life Point screens of both Kaiba and Velius.
Kaiba drew his cards and showed them to Velius before moving on to the second part of the Cyber Jars effect.
Blue Eyes White Dragon, Lord of D. , Vorse Raider, Pot of Greed and Monster Reborn.
He set both the Lord of D. and the Vorse Raider into attack mode on the field and waited to see Velius' cards.
Sangan, Terra the Terrible, Flame Champion, Island Turtle and Chorus of Sanctuary.
Velius set Sangan, Terra adn Island Turtle in defense mode and activated the Chorus of Sanctuary card.
"My turn is over Kaiba. But your gone on the next turn." He threatened.
"Keep believing that you bafoon. This Duel is MINE!" Kaiba was grinning maniacally.
"I'll summon, Cyber Stein and activate its effect to special summon the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Kaiba declared as his life points dropped to four thousand and the sky darkened. Lightning crashed around both of the Duelists. A massive dark shape could be seen faintly through the clouds.
The huge form descended and settled in front of Kaiba with a mighty roar from all three of its jaws.
With only the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon Kaiba couldn't finish the Duel, But Kaiba wasn't finished yet.
Velius knew he'd lost after what Kaiba had said next.
"Now I play the magic card, Monster Reborn! And I choose The Immense Divine Soldier of Obelisk!" Kaiba activated the card and the earth it self seemed to tremble in fear, the sky which was already dark turned black as pitch. The entire area was black, Velius could barely see Kaiba and his massive Dragon. But behind Kaiba Velius could see something.
Two sinister glowing red eyes. Realization dawned on Velius' face. 'Obelisk was never really obeying me. It was using me to get back to Kaiba. IT USED ME!' Velius stared in awe as the great blue beast finished forming and stepped free of the darkness.
It dwarfed even the massive Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which for its part seemed a little nervous that such a powerful beast was so close.
The last thing Velius saw was Kaibas vivid blue eyes and his wicked smile.
