Jonouchi was surprised at me for beating Bandit Keith so easily. He had trouble dueling in Duelist Kingdom, and even Yugi had trouble when Keith was under Malik's mind control. I was just lucky, I guess.
We advanced into the fortress. And so we entered the elevator. Sadly the highest floor the elevator could reach was the 10th level. We had to make do with what we had.
DING! 10th floor. The room was HUGE. We saw a figure silhouetted on the far side. And he appeared to be guarding another elevator shaft.
Honda grabbed a discarded DuelDisc and strapped it on. "I get dibs on this duelist, whoever he is."
The unknown duelist spoke in a voice exactly like mine. "Try and defeat me and pass!"
He looked exactly like me! And had the same green binder I had, but had a cheap copy of my Millennium Sword. Wait a minute... same green binder... WHERE'S MINE?!
"Hey where's my binder?"
My carbon copy waved it at me. "You should really keep a closer eye on your things... or MY things!"
"Hey that's mine, fake!"
"No, impostor, it's mine!"
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"MINE!"
"MINE!"
"MIIIIIINE!" I screamed and swiped my Millennium Sword at him. He blocked with his cheap sword. I swiped at him again and barely nicked his cheek.
"Well, well, well... Enough fooling around! I AM THE IMPOSTOR!" He started to bulge everywhere and the outer skin blew off.
Ewwwww. It looked like some lame-o gray-skinned clown escaped from the circus and stole the ringmaster's outfit. Minus the top hat.
"I am known as the Dark Mimic! I was originally the evil side that Yugi had banished to the Shadow Realm twice! The first time I was banished, Pegasus released me! But I was banished again soon after. Now I'm back thanks to Master Ashiro and helping him destroy this world! ...Well lookie here! I found a Duel Monsters Deck! (looks through) A good one to say the least!"
Hey, that was one of MY decks!
Honda wasn't fazed. "I'll take you on."
I had to protest. "Dude you don't know what kind of deck I made in there!"
Dark Mimic looked at me evilly. "Tell him the them of this deck and I'll burn the whole binder to ashes!!!!"
So i shut up. I worked my ass off getting those cards, and I did NOT want them to be substitute firewood.
Duel begin! Hiroto Honda VS Dark Mimic!
(4000)
Mimic went first. he summoned Des Kangaroo in attack mode (1500/1700). He then played Polymerization to fuse it with Big Koala (2700/2000) to Fuse into one of the most powerful Fusion monsters ever: Master of Oz (4200/3700). Honda laughed. "Now i get it. That deck is revolved around getting Fusion monsters out!"
"Lucky guess, Honda! Now make your move."
Honda drew and summoned a monster in defense mode. He then placed three cards facedown and ended his turn.
Mimic drew. He played Dian Keto the Cure Master to increase his Life Points by 1000 (Mimic: 5000). Mimic summoned Queen's Double (350/300). He placed a card facedown and ordered Master of Oz to attack Honda's monster.
Honda activated a trap: Waboku. It stopped Master of Oz's attack. So Mimic ordered Queen's Double to attack directly just because it can. (Honda: 3650.
Honda drew. He flip Summoned his Vilepawn Archfiend (1200/500). He sacrificed to summon Skull Archfiend of Lightning (2500/1200), which looked exactly like an eviller Summoned Skull. He then revealed a facedown card: Megamorph. It double Skull Archfiend's attack (5000) The Dark Mimic just stared.
Honda then played Fairy Meteor Crush to enable Skull Archfiend to do damage even in defence mode. He played a card from his hand: Block Attack, to swap Queen's Double to Defence Mode (300DEF) So he ordered Skull Archfiend of Lightning to attack Queen's Double. Mimic activated his facedown card, Shift, to swap the attack to Master of Oz.
There was a huge fireworks display as Master of Oz was destroyed by SKull Archfiend of Lightning. Mimic lost 800LP (4200 LP). Honda finished by playing a Magic Card calles Pandemonium.
Mimic threw a temper tantrum at having to lose such a kickass monster.
He drew and sacrificed Queen's Double for Ryu Kokki (2400/2000) in defence mode.
Honda drew. Mimic laughed and exclaimed that keeping an Archfiend on the field requires paying Life Points each turn, no exceptions. Honda snickered and said that there WAS an exception: his Pandemonium card makes it so Neither duelist has to pay Life Points for Archfiends. Honda summoned Terrorking Archfiend (2000/1500) He ordered his Skull Archfiend to attack Ryu Kokki (Mimic: 1200LP), he then ordered Terrorking to attack directly. Mimic discarded Kuriboh to block the attack.
Mimic;s turn now. he drew and played a monster in defence mode.
Honda drew and decided to use Heavy Storm to destroy all Magic and Trap Cards. Besides, since he had more Life points than Dark Mimic, Megamorph HALVED Skull Archfiend's attack (1250). He then played a card called Checkmate. He offered his SKull Archfiend so Terrorking Archfiend to attack directly. (Mimic: No Life Points).
Duel over. Honda is the victor. Dark Mimic started to cry hysterically about his loss.
Ashiro's voice filled the room. "DARK MIMIC! YOU LOST TO THIS PATHETIC WEAKLING?! AND YOU BOASTED GREAT DUELING TALENT!"
"I apologize, master! It wasn't my fault! PLEASE don't send me back there! I swear!"
"You WOULD Swear! But standards won't let you! (Bad joke) Now I shall banish you BACK to the Shadow Realm with no chance of escape EVER! EEEEEEEEVEEEEERRRRRRRR!"
A black hole appeared under Dark Mimic's feet. He sank into it like quicksand.
"NO! NOT AGAIN! NO-O-O! THis can't be happening!" The poor minion screamed as he attempted in vain to claw his way out.
"Wow, Honda, I'm impressed!" I exclaimed, picking up my binder that Dark Mimic had dropped. "I wouldn't think you of all people would have an successful Archfiend Deck!"
Jonouchi sneered. "Yea, mostly cuz he mooched off of Yugi's grandpa to get the cards..."
Honda got pissed and tried to hit Jonouchi. Yugi separated the two, but it was kinda hard to cuz Yugi was so short. Yugi said, "Hey, you two! Knock it off!"
"Yeah, save the Punching Judy show for later." I added. "We need to keep going!"
On the next elevator up, it went all the way to the 15th floor for no reason.
And you'd never guess who was guarding the NEXT passage...
