Just Desserts (Redo)

By Sideshowtom

"Man guys, this plane is huge! What are we gonna do?" gasped Yugi, looking around the planes huge passenger section as the other duelists mulled around the aisles, the ground rapidly disappearing beneath them (as he saw through the window).

"Well I thought I'd take a look at the locals shall we say?" said Joey, his eyes widening and drool dribbling down his chin as he eyed a slender, shapely stewardess striding by in a short skirt and matching vest.

"What locals Joey, we're on a plane…. Oh, those locals!" screamed Tristan as he too saw the beautiful stewardess striding by.

As the two prepared to dash off after her, Tea grabbed them both by the collars and was dragged after them, screaming and ranting.

"Well, maybe I should go check out the competition…." Grumbled Yugi before he gasped. Suddenly the hairs on the back of his neck had sprung up up and his skin had become clammy cold.

He flipped around to see what had happened and then saw a shadowy finger flip around suddenly and stride away, somehow seeming to walk through the people in the crowd. Yugi gasped again and pushed and shoved people aside, completely absorbed in finding who this mysterious figure was. He kept following for several minutes before the figure phased through a door. Yugi ran after him again and hastily read the door, which said

CAUTION!

LUGGAGEBAY

STAFF PERSONELL ONLY!

NO ENTRANCE!

Yugi ripped the door open, and gasped (yet again) at what he saw. He was in a huge room, apparently empty. The huge curving walls appeared to continue on forever up to a domed ceiling. Dim, fluorescent lights hung from the ceiling, flickering on and off, and making the clouds of dust in the air very visible.

Yugi gripped the Millenium Puzzle and was suddenly turned into Yami Yugi.

What are you doing Yami? Thought Yugi frantically while he confronted the mental image of his taller, more masculine counterpart.

I sense evil here Yugi. I felt I would be better suited to handle it.

Oh, ok Yami, if that's what you think is best…

With that final thought, Yami looked around once more and strode off into the darkness. Suddenly, he heard a low, croaking voice call out

"Let's duel boy! I will defeat you before you become more of a nuisance!"

"Who are you?" called Yugi into the darkness "and why are you doing this?"

"It doesn't matter boy, lets just duel!"

With those final words, the figure detached itself from the darkness, revealing a midnight blue cloak, complete with overshadowing hood, and two stormy grey eyes peering at Yugi maliciously. Pale white hand extended from the wrinkled sleeves and a duel disk was attached to one, pale, hairless arm.

"Fine, I will duel you, but what will the stakes be?"

"No stakes, just know that if you lose, you will lose something very dear to you. Very dear indeed…"

"I will NOT lose you fiend! Lets duel!"

Yami: 8000: 8000

"I'll go first you fiend, and I'll summon Beaver Warrior in attack mode and place one card face down."

Beaver Warrior: 1200/1500

As a face down card appeared defending Yugi, a small rat appeared in front of it. The rat was purple/blue and wielded a wicked short sword alongside a skull shield and shining, spiked armor.

"A beginners mistake. I will first set two cards and then I will summon the Master Kyonshee in attack mode! Then he will destroy your pitiful rat!"

Master Kyonshee: 1750/1000

As two cards appeared in front of the mystery duelist, a tall figure appeared. A traditional blue robe appeared on him, which was short enough to reveal half of his bright yellow pants. A flap of paper hid the creatures face and upon it was written several Japanese characters. The monster rose its green, zombified hands from its robes deep sleeves and leapt into the air, bringing its hands down in a killing chop that sliced through the rat and cracked the ground underneath Yami.

Yami: 7450: 8000

"Damn, a costly mistake….I will summon Breaker the Magic Warrior in attack mode! And because of his special ability, he gains 300 attack points! Attack Breaker, with Magicians Sword!"

Breaker the Magic Warrior: 1900/1000

A tall warrior appeared in front of Yugi. The warrior was encased in shining red armor with gold outlines and encrusted with blue jewels. The warrior wielded a thin long sword that was crackling with magical energies and a shield to match its armor. The monster leapt into the air, flying towards his enemy, slashing through the zombie monster with a crackled-snap of magical energy

Yami: 7450: 7850

"Hmm, an impressive move boy, but a needless one nonetheless. I will emerge victorious no matter what you do, as I have seen it in my meditations. But for my turn, I will summon a monster in defense mode to defend my life points. Your turn"

Why is he so confident? I can directly attack him this turn… "For my move, I will set a card and summon the Skilled White Magician in attack mode! Then he will destroy your face down monster!"

Skilled White Magician: 1700/1900

A tall, shining figure descended to the field, resplendent in its bright white cloak and armor, adorned with huge topaz jewels. The magician reached out its hand and a long white staff appeared, ending in a crackling ball of energy. The magician rose its staff and a tiny beam of life shone down onto it and rebounded through the staff, spearing the shadowy figures monster.

"A foolish mistake Yami, you've destroyed my Newdoria. And I choose to destroy your Breaker with his special ability. My turn now"

As the shadowy figure drew a card, a huge, smoky hand flew up from his graveyard and dragged Yami's monster to the ground where it sunk down, screaming.

"Now I set another card and summon the Shadow Killer in attack mode! Then I'll activate my Blast with Chain magic Card to give him 500 extra attack points!"

"Not so fast you fiend! I activate my Magical Space Typhoon to destroy your magic card!"

"Ah but wait! Your plan backfires! For now, Blast with Chain's second ability activates, destroying one card of my choice on the field. And I choose your only remaining monster!"

Shadow Killer: 1400/200

Yugi gasped in horror and watched on as a small assassin appeared on the field, its head the skull of some beast enscribed with runes. The creature leapt to slash his chest with a gleaming katana even as his magician exploded in a flash of light.

Yami: 6050, Yami: 7850

"Erg…damn you, you fiend. Well, I can still bounce back in this duel. For now, I will use my other magic card Change of Heart! Using this, I will sacrifice your creature to summon Archfiend of Gilfer in attack mode and attack you directly!"

Archfiend of Gilfer: 2200/2500

A huge beast rose from the ground in front of Yugi, its skin a deep azure blue where it was not covered by bloody red armor. It had two huge, demon like wings and gigantic claws ended its huge hands and feet. It flew into the air and slashed downward across the mystery duelists shest, causing him no apparent fear.

Yami: 6050: 5650

"Hmm, boy it appears you took the lead. But, of course, that won't last long You still have so much to learn about the game of duel monsters"

"Do your worst you fiend!" screamed Yami in exasperation and arrogance.

"Gladly" growled his opponent, "I will activate my trap card, the Ultimate Offering! Using this card, I will summon Plasma Eel by sacrificing 500 life points! Next, I will sacrifice another 500 life points to summon up my Dark Jeroid! Then, for my normal summon, I will call forth my Drillago in attack mode! Using my Eel's special ability, I will reduce your monsters attack points by 500 points! Next, my Dark Jeroids special ability reduces its attack by another 800 points, putting it down to 900! Now, Dark Jeroid destroy his monster! And then my Drillago will attack your life points directly!"

Dark Jeroid: 1200/1500

As the shadowy figure laughed maniacaly, a huge mass of gooey black flesh appeared on the field. The mass pulsated and flailed, finally forming parts of it into coherent parts. It had 4 legs, ending in serrated claws, and a head where the pelvis of its foremost set of legs was. It had a hulking torso, with a single set of arms and two huge spiked appendages extending from the top. In the middle, a huge, pulsating orb of vein covered white flesh pushed forward and blasted downward at Yami's monster, causing its wings to fall away and its claws to disappear. Then, just as the monster rose from the blue, a long, mechanical eel appeared. The eel was made of a dozen metallic orbs and its foremost one ended in two clicking mandibles. It was these mandibles that attached to Yami's monsters head and it sent a shock of purple energy down the beast, further weakening it.

"And now I will activate Poison of the Old man to give me 1200 life points back and set three cards. Your turn."

Yami: 4150: 5850

"Damnett, that took most of my life points out, and now he's got 2 monsters on the field. But I can't give up. I need to trust in the heart of the cards…"

"Don't give me that heart of the cards crap Yami. You've lost before, and you'll lose now, no matter what heart you have! You've too much mercy to play duel monsters!"

"That's what you think! I will now set two cards and then, I will use my Brain Control card to take control of your Drillago! Then I will sacrifice it to summon up my Berfomet in attack mode! Using his special ability, I can now special summon Gazelle, the king of mythical beasts, also in attack mode!"

Berfomet: 1400/1800

Gazelle: 1500/1200

A large demon appeared on the field, its skin a greasy red and 4 arms extending from its muscular torso. It had huge wings, those of an angel, and two curving horns of a ram extending from its demonic head. Next to it, a large puma like creature appeared, with a mane of greasy black hair and a single rhino's horn extending from its head.

"Now my Berfomet, destroy his monster! And Gazelle, attack his life points directly!"

Berfomet leapt up into the air, flapping its great wings and brigning its huge claws coming slashing down through Dark Jeroid. Then Gazelle fell flat to the ground and then leapt up in a springed assault, bringing its claws slashing across the stranger's body.

Yami: 4150: 4150

"Well it appears that we're even now you fiend. Your move."

"And I'll gladly take it. I will summon Makyura the Destroyer in attack mode! Then I will play the magic card Coffin Seller! Now Makyura, destroy his Berfomet, and subtract an extra 300 life points from him!"

Makyura: 1600/1200

A tall monster appeared on the field, its lower body covered in spikes, and his head simply a golden orb with the Millenium symbol encrusted in the middle of it. His long arms ended in gauntlets with three serrated blades jutting from them. The creature leapt upwards and slashed down through Yami's monster, shattering it into six even slices, which dissapitated into nothingness.

Yami: 3650: 4150

"Damn, he's outsmarting me at every turn! As soon as I get out two monsters, he destroys one of them! Does he think I have Slifer with me?

"Well you fiend, its my move again. I will flip my monster into defense mode, then summon another one in defense mode and place two cards face down."

"A costly mistake boy, for now, I will summon up my Granadora in attack mode! And due to his effect, I gain 1000 life points. And to end my turn, I will set 3 cards and my monsters will attack your two set monsters."

Granadora: 1900/700

A squat reptilian monster appeared, with a whipping tail. It had a huge head, ending it curving serrated fangs and its body was covered in sharp spikes. The creature had no arms, but Yami could see that its head was large enough to have no need for the,.

"Damn, you destroyed my Obnoxious Celtic Guardian and my Gazelle. But at least I don't lose any life points."

Yami: 3650: 5150

Damnett, how can I win this duel? What am I supposed to do to beat him?"

What indeed Yami! And what will you lose if you lose this duel? Who knows? (except for me of course!) Find out next time on Just Desserts!
