"Good, because as strong as your Blue Eyes is it's nothing when I use this!
GO! Angel Dice!" Joey shouted as he slid the magic card into its slot.
A small Angel appeared on the field hauling a giant blue die.
The tiny Cherub flung the blue cube and vanished with a too cute laugh and a tip of it's little hat. The Blue die bounced about between the two massive dragons, If Joey rolled a six then the Blue Eyes would have a power struggle on it's massive clawed hands.
The die landed on an angle and spun, as it teetered Joey looked at his hand and grabbed his two remaining cards.
The die finally stopped, a five showed face up. The red Eyes Black Dragon roared as it's attack and defense shot up by five hundred points.
2900/2500
"Still not a threat Joey." Robert gloated.
"Still not done Robby boy." Joey replied and activated the two cards he'd grabbed.
"Activate Dragon nails, My Red eyes gains an additional seven hundred attack points. And effect wheel!"
3600/2500
A giant game wheel appeared on the field ten sections each with a different effect.
Double constant power filled three zones, half life filled another three, instant win in one slot and in the remaining three dark hole was written.
"This games a risky one and I wouldn't use it if I didn't think I didn't have to. My Red Eye's will spin the wheel. You will decide when to stop it. When the pointer locks onto a section that effect is activated. Do it Red Eyes!" Joey commanded and his dragon promptly obeyed, slamming it's foot down upon the giant red button that hand appeared before it.
Steam issued from the back of the massive game wheel and it began to accelerate, winds began to whip up causing those on the field and the side lines to shield their eyes from the dust that was being blown about.
The wheel was moving so fast, driven by the engine behind it, that the colors on it had all blended into a gray color, the clicking of the pointer was coming so fast it sounded more like a roar.
The two dragons stared each other down. their eyes glowing brightly.
"STOP NOW!" Robert shouted over the noises the wheel was producing. As soon as he spoke the board came to a screeching halt, sparks shot out from behind the massive circle as the braking mechanism triggered.
The pointer had landed on a red slot, Double constant power.
"ALL RIGHT!" Joey leapt into the arm and pumped his arm, his dragon began to glow again, this time however, instead of the chaotic glow the angel dice had provided the now glow was steady and even.
Robert's face dropped, his eyes locked onto the ground at his feet, his view obscured by his one remaining face down card.
His shoulders slumped, he looked as if he'd been defeated.
"Yugi, what's that effect do?" Sammantha asked the younger Duelist. Her bright blue eyes tearing up.
"It doubles and then locks Joey's monsters stats. Until the monsters on his side of the field are destroyed their power, no matter how it was augmented before, will not drop." Yugi replied. His sympathy went out to Robert, losing to sheer chance was never an easy loss.
Joey looked at Robert, his heart sank. He'd had one of his best Duels ever and now he was about to wipe Robert out of the Battle Island Tournament.
His Red Eyes roared and shook as its power finally balanced out.
7200/5000
"Sorry Robert, it was a great match but... Its gotta end now." Joey said remorsefully.
"You're right Joey. It does." Robert looked up, his green eyes shinning almost unnaturally, and a vicious smile playing on his lips.
Duelist Haven Coliseum
Willem Spring walked toward the large stone construct, Claire followed closely behind. The huge building resembled the Coliseum in Rome, though instead of the traditional Roman carvings, this version had images of Duel Monsters all over it. And capping each of the pillar points at the top of the huge building rested a Blue Eyes White Dragon, Seto Kaiba's signature card.
"How very ostentatious of Mr. Kaiba. Impressive yes but still." Willem stopped as someone grabbed his shoulder.
"Excuse me sir, are you one of the finalists?" A grey clad security official asked.
"Yes, in fact we both are." Willem said motioning to Claire who was looking over the ornate carvings on the Coliseum.
"Alright, well this area's off limits until all of the finalists and Mr. Kaiba arrive, I'll have to ask you to leave." The guard informed.
"Oh, of course. Would you be so kind as to tell us where we can wait until the rest of the Duelists arrive?" Claire asked, drawing her attention away from the building and flashing a smile at the guard.
"There's a rest zone on the northern face of the Coliseum grounds. You can check in and get something to eat there." The guard replied, returning the smile.
"You've been most helpful." Willem said as he started away, his eyes beginning to glow again.
He stopped mid stride and turned slowly to face the guard.
"Oh, and one more thing." His eyes were a bright red, his mouth twisted into a wicked sneer.
Willem thrust his hand out, palm facing the guard.
The guards body went rigid and his eyes glazed over, Willems eyes were crackling with red and black energy, A glden form slowly began to show on his forehead.
"DON'T EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN!" WIllem shouted angrily the guards body was wracked with spasms as a field of energy formed around him.
The field was black as space, beyond the initial formation the guard could no longer be seen. When Willem finally lowered his hand and the field faded away nothing was left of the guard.
Scorch marks could be seen on the ground where he'd once stood.
Willems brow was covered in sweat, a small trail of blood flowed from his left nostril down his lip.
"Sir, what did you do to him?" Claire asked, shock and fear evident on her face.
"I banished him. Mind, body and soul to Hell." He replied. Wiping the blood from his face with a handkerchief.
"Normally it's only the soul that gets to go on that trip. But I figured why not give him the full package? A living being in the pits of hell. heh." Willem let slip a small laugh.
"But, why sir?" Claire was still in shock.
"Why? He invaded my personal space." Willem replied matter of factly.
"What was I supposed to do? Ask him not to do it again?" Willems smile returned.
