"I play the magic card, MYSTICAL SPACE TYPHOON! It's target is your Gravity Bind." Yugi was smirking as the mystical vortex of energy wiped out Claires trap card.
"But that's not all Claire, I hold in my hand two cards capable of ending your stay on this Island here and now." Yugi added as Claire was reviewing her hand and field, trying to pull together a counter strategy for Yugi's impending domination of this match.
His words however caught her ear and she looked up in shock. "You can't use Osiris! You don't have enough monsters ont he field!" She called out in alarm.
Yugi's eyes widened in shock as he processed Claire's words. "How did you know I possessed Osiris? I only just added it to my deck before this match." Yugi's voice was stern and any semblance of shock was gone.
Claire was smiling innocently now, batting her brown eyes at Yugi, having placed her Hello Kitty sunglasses on top of her head several turns ago.
"Why Yugi, surely you know a girl has to have her secrets. Now why don't you just hurry up and play your little trump card." She was sure Yugi was going to use the two cards in his hand to bring back a monster and sacrifice all three for his God card.
Yugi eyed his opponent warily. He did indeed have Osiris in his hand but it seemed as though she were prepared for that. It wouldn't be wise to Summon Osris even if he did have a way of providing the great beast with three monsters. As soon as it was Summoned it would be vulnerable since its attack and defence power are based around the cards in his hand, he would have no cards in his hand. Only Osiris' second ability would protect it long enough to gain a measly 1000 attack and defence points.
'No, I'll stick with my Spellcasters.' Yugi thought to himself as he slid his Dark magician Girl and Dark Magician cards off of his Duel Disk and into his Graveyard.
"I sacrifice my two magicians to special summon my Sorcerer of Dark Magic!" Yugi announced and the stadium went dark. The ghostly images of his two magicians appeared on the field again and began to shine brightly one pink and one purple. The two forms coalesced and took on a heavily armored form of the darkest, almost black energy.
As the power flared the shape solidified, in its right hand it held a wicked staff glowing with green energy. The black energy flowed off of the powerful sorcerer like water, pooling at his feet reflecting the images of the four magicians that had been on the field before it. All four looking angrily at Claire and pointing their staves at the pink clad Duelist.
The Sorcerers head snapped up and shot an angry glance at Claire, his teal eyes shinning brightly, glowing with the sheer amount of magical energies at his command. He then added his own staff to those of his fallen family. all five glowing brightly and aiming directly at Claire.
"It's time to end this Claire. BLACK SORCERY!" Yugi shouted and his all powerful magician obeyed, launching a wave of pure mystical energy at the now rapidly molting and panicking Sonic Duck.
The tiny green and yellow bird was vaporized instantly in the wave of prismatic energy which tore through the mallard and slammed into Claire. Searing a large chunk of her life points away in the process.
Yugi: 6000 Claire: 6000
"My turn is over Claire." Yugi spoke as his opponent pulled herself, unsteadily, to her feet and drew her card.
Claires hand was shaking as she drew her card, Yugi's Sorcerer was more powerful than any monster in her deck. 'Attack isn't everything.' She thought to herself as she looked at the card she held.
"I play the magic card Double Down! As long as I set them both in face down position I can set two monsters but I can't set or summon my next turn. Worth while though for what i have planned." Claire explained as she set two cards face down on her monster field.
The two cards appeared before her in a shimmer of light and her turn ended.
Yugi drew his card and eyed Claire carefully. She had two face down monsters and one remaining magic or trap card. As Yugi examined his new card he looked over his options.
"I play the magic card, POT OF GREED!" Yugi called out and drew his two cards. "Now I'll active my Monster Reborn magic card to resurrect my Dark Magician.
No sooner had the words left Yugi's lips than the powerful magician appeared on the field it's staff in it's left hand the purple clad Spellcaster monster looked at its mystical brother and nodded then locked eyes with Claire.
"But I'm not done yet, Now I'll set one monster face down and my magicians will destroy your face down monsters!" Yugi's magicians fired off a combined attack at the two face down cards.
As soon as the magical energies of the Magicians attacks hit home the two cards flipped up to reveal a pair of Needle Worms.
Once the tow cards had exploded into pixelated flotsam a message appeared before Yugi ordering him to discard ten cards from the top of his deck.
Yugi let out a slight growl as he obeyed the effect of the twin worms. More than a quarter of his deck was gone to the grave yard. Then he saw it. His Kings Knight card was now in his grave yard. All he needed was to get to his turn with his monsters intact.
"My Turn is over Claire. And this duel is nearly done." Yugi warned as Claire drew her card and promptly set it into a slot on her Magic and Trap field. and ended her turn.
Yugi drew his card and smiled. "Flip my face down monster to reveal Magician of faith! Thanks to my magicians effect I can return my Monster Reborn Magic card from my graveyard to my hand." Yugi did as he said and returned his magic card to his hand, a wicked glint in his eye.
"Now I activate my Monster Reborn Magic card to revive my Kings Knight, but that's not all. I sacrifice my Magician of Faith, Kings Knight and, Dark magician to summon the monster that signals the end of this duel. I SUMMON, THE SAINT GOD DRAGON, OSIRIS!!!" Yugi's words echoed through the massive Colosseum. The crowd having grown silent watching the sky, now black as pitch, churn and thunder. It's dark storm clouds swirling and whipping about as though something huge were mixing them about the sky.
Briefly a long red form was seen in a break in the clouds, even so short a glimpse caused chills to run up and down all who saw its spines.
Slowly, almost painfully slow the huge form of the Saint God Dragon, Osiris lowered onto the field, coiling it's serpentine body behind Yugi and letting loose a roar that made the very Earth shake.
Claires face was awash in fear, the massive beast stared at her with it's massive yellow eyes and barred its huge scimitar like teeth.
"Your God card is impressive but it's only got one thousand attack and defense points Yugi. Even some of the weakest monsters in the game could counter attack and destroy it." Claire feigned bravery, for her effort the huge God flapped it's massive red wings and growled, pushing Claire back with the force of the wind it generated.
"You should know better than to jump to conclusions Claire. I still have one card in my hand. And now I play it. CARD OF SANCTITY! We both draw until we have six cards in our hands." Yugi's face was stern and set. He knew this Duel was his.
Both Duelists drew their cards Yugi six and Claire five.
Osiris roared triumphantly as its attack and defense power grew to massive proportions The massive God flexed it's wings and clawed at the ground with it's hind legs, digging huge furrows into the Stone floor of the Colosseum.
Claire looked over her and nervously, with Yugi's God card and Sorcerer staring her down there was very little she could do, especially since it was still Yugi's turn.
Claire looked over her hand and then back up at the colossal red dragon as its musculature rippled and flowed under its skin, reflecting the massive power boost it had received thanks to the Card of Sanctity's effect.
The Audience was in awe of the massive creature at Yugi's command. Most if not all had heard of the God cards and seen pictures or file footage of them. For most in the stands though this was the first time seeing one in real life. It was to big to even fit entirely into the stadium, even though it was coiled tightly behind Yugi the gargantuan beast was still towering over the Colosseum, dipping its double jawed head down into the the opposing duelists sight, growling menacingly.
'It's not much but it should buy me another turn to finish what I came here for.' Claire thought as she reached forward to activate the Magic card she'd set a few turns ago.
"I activate my magic card, Scapegoat!" She declared as the four woolly goats appeared on the field before her.
"Not so fast Claire, Osiris' second effect causes it to deal two thousand points of damage to ANY monster you bring to the field as soon as it appears!" Yugi announced.
Osiris began to shift in its place as it's top mouth opened and a massive ball of lightning charged.
"GO! SUMMON LIGHTNING!" Yugi shouted. Osiris obeyed and launched the massive ball of energy at Claire's Goats. The huge orb of energy split into four slightly smaller balls of energy and impacted upon the four multi colored balls of fluff. The four explosions kicked up dust and debris from the stadium floor.
The four tiny beasts were gone almost as quickly as they had formed.
"Now Osiris will attack you directly for six thousand points of damage!" Yugi launched his God cards attack against the pink clad Duelist. She was promptly swallowed up in the massive wash of energy Osiris had launched at her. As the light from Osiris' attack faded Claire could be seen laying on her side several feet away from the place she'd been standing, small grooves were dug into the ground where she'd been pushed back by the force of the blast.
"The winner is, Yugi Muto! Congratulations Yugi. Claim your prize from the loser and we'll take an hour break to prepare fro the next match." Antony the announcer spoke. Gone was his roman garb. Now he was dressed in a slick black suit and black Ray bans.
