Message From The Gods: Yugi vs. Medusa Part 1

"Joey! Tristan, what happened here?"

"It's just like I told Tea on the phone. Joey lost a duel to some weird girl and after that she turned Joey to stone."

Yugi listened to Tristan's explanation but couldn't seem to take his eyes off Joey, or the look of terror that he had on his face.

"How's Serenity taking it?"

"Oh Tea, I didn't even see you. Serenity took this pretty hard. After Joey was turned to stone she stayed with him for a really long time, after that she went into her room and locked the door. I haven't seen her or heard from her since then."

"Poor Serenity, having to seen her brother like this must have definitely been a serious shock to her."

"Actually I would've expected the girl to be in a little more shock than that"

Yugi, Tea, and Tristan turned to see who had made such a comment. It was a girl. She was dressed in a green top with a black skirt and black boots. She also had light blond hair and gray eyes that were completely focused on the Yugi.

"That's her! She's the one that did this to Joey!"

"Who are you? What do you want?"

"My name is Medusa, and what I want is the Pharaoh."

"How do you know about the Pharaoh?"

"That's my little secret, but I will let you know that I understand that the Pharaoh has to be defeated in a duel before I can get my hands on him. So, if you want some more answers, you have to beat me in a duel."

No sooner had Medusa finished did a bright light engulf little Yugi and transform him into Yami.

"Alright, I accept your challenge. And if I win you will tell me how to free Joey."

"Ok, but when I win you will surrender your soul to me."

"Fine."

"Lets Duel!"

"I'll go first. I summon Queens Knight in attack mode, and place two cards face down. That ends my turn"

"Ok then Pharaoh. I'll play one card face down, and summon Rocket Warrior in defense mode."

"That is one of Joey's cards. What's the meaning of this Medusa?"

"Oh, I must have forgotten to tell you that you aren't the only person here with special abilities. You see, I have the special ability to copy the cards of the duelists I have previously defeated. But don't worry Pharaoh, with the exception of a few cards that Joey was nice enough to let me use, all of the other cards I'll be playing are mine."

"If you're done talking now, I'd like to begin my turn so I can save Joey. I activate the magic card Fissure to destroy Rocket Warrior. Next, I summon Kings Knight in attack mode. Now that both my Kings Knight and Queens Knight are on the field, I can special summon Jacks Knight as well. Now my monsters, ATTACK!"

"Not so fast, I activate the trap card Eye of Medusa. This trap card allows me to turn all attacking monsters into stone until the end of the turn. In addition to that, as long as the monsters are stone they can't attack."

"In that case I end my turn."

"That means it's my turn. I summon the monster card Sialia. It's special ability allows me to special summon Charybdis from my deck. Now Pharoah, I believe its about time you were put in your place. I activate Heavy Storm, which destroys all magic and trap cards on the field. Next I play Change of Heart so I can gain control of your Jacks Knight. Now I sacrifice my three monsters to summon a REAL god card."

"What do you mean a REAL god card?"

"If you shut up I'll tell you. Though the gods of Egypt my have been strong, they pale in comparison to the gods of ancient Greece. The power of these gods makes Obelisk, Slifer, and Ra look like nothing."

"But how did you know they were in my deck?"

"I could sense them the moment that this duel started. But more importantly, I could sense their fear. Now behold my god card, Aries, the god of war."

"I-I can sense an overwhelming power coming from that monster."

"You should, because Aries has an attack power of 4,500 plus for every battle phase that is conducted while he is on the field, he gets an extra 1,000 attack points. Luckily for you Aries can't attack on the turn he is summoned. So that ends my turn, for now. But soon you will see why the gods of Greece are so terrifying."

This isn't good. Even I can feel my god card's fear. If what Medusa said is true, I might not be able to save Joey, or myself...
