Chapter 5: Darkness Defeated

"My mage is more powerful than all your monsters right now Hara!" Kai shouted.

"Maybe young one but the life point count says I'm in the lead" Hara smiled in return.

Time to play The Game
Time to play The Game
Time to play... The Game

It's all about The Game, before life can rest
your failure is my success
it's all about control... will you make it?

I will deliver the pain you can't take it!

Kai and Hara began staring each other down by the way they where everyone could tell there was more on the line than just the tournament placing. Karri sighed she didn't want the duel to go this far she had to pick she looked at Adam then at Kai 'He will win I know he won't let me down'

"My move Kai" Hara drew and then looked at his hand "I play one card facedown def. and end my turn!"

"Then let my mage make his move" Kai drew he then smiled "I play Pot of greed then I play one card face down" he said smiling

"Then let me introduce you to Dark Hole!" Hara said slapping the card into the slot. "Then I summon Shadow Knight Archfiend (2000/1600) then I play cold wave! Now attack his life points!"

Hara-4000

Kai-1700

I'm in control I am your pain
after this you won't be the same
this is my time I make the rules
you mess with this and you die like a fool!

I am the debt that can't be paid
You're going down in flames
This is the time I cannot lose
Live or die you'll have to choose!

Kai drew "I play one card face down and then End turn!"

Hara drew "and I thought you where going to put up a challenge! I pay 500 life points to keep my monster on the field and he'll win this duel"

The monster flew in covering Kai up in smoke as he flew back Hara looked at the life point counter Kai had half of the life points still.

"What in the world?" he looked over at the field and Guardian Kay'est was there. "How on earth did she get on the field?"

Kai smiled "my trap Guardian's Obituary! At the cost of half of my life points I could summon one guardian card from my hand and without the Spell so Kay'est was the perfect candidate for this protection!" He looked over at the Mermaid Guardian her giggling

Hara-3500

Kai-850

"Well if your going to play a card then let me make mine Yami!" he said sliding the card into the field zone of the disk as he did the field was shrouded by black smoke as his fiend went up to (2200/1800) "your move kid"

It's all about me I am the one
Soon you'll see there's nowhere to run
I am the threat that is so real
Through the blood and the sweat the pain you will feel

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
Now it's time to die
I am the pain I am The Game
You won't forget my name!

Kai drew and then smiled "Card of Sanctity!" he drew 6 new cards as Hara only drew 4 ") First I summon Skilled Dark Magician and activate Tribute Doll sacrificing my Kay'est for Buster Blader! (2600/2300) and use Graceful Charity" He draws as his Egyptian Priest's jewels glow "then I discard these two and activate De-spell to destroy Dark Door! Now I can revive one of my Dark Magicians (2700) from my graveyard and then I trigger Call of the Haunted to summon Dark Magician (3500) and use Polymerization to summon Dark Paladin (3100) now I have my Paladin attack your Shadow Knight and then my Dark Magician will attack your life points!" he shouted as the mages did what they where commanded

Kai-850

Hara-Kiri-0

Hara fell to his knees "I guess that date is off huh Karri?" he said looking up a rookie beat him he knew he would never be able to live this down.

Karri on the other-hand smiled Kai won for her. She then ran up and did a jumping hug on Kai when he was walking down the stairs Kai feel to the floor he then looked up and smiled giving her a peace sign they both got up.

Kai looked down at Hara he was gone. Karri put her hand over her heart it was skipping every other beat. But she couldn't she vowed that love could never make her happy and she hadn't had a crush on anyone since Hara dumped her which was exactly 5 years ago TODAY.

Kai went over to watch Adam's duel he lost track of the last one since Adam was so into it.

Adam climbed the stairs and faced his opponent who was a kid no older than 10. "You have got to be kidding me" he said to himself he then activated his disk and drew his hand. "So Harrison. You ready for a beat down from the Planet Earth!" the kid smiled he looked so innocent and yet he seemed like he would never hurt a fly. "Then I'll start!" he called as he drew.
