Chapter 10: Dark Breeze III: Yami Yugi vs. Rodyan

"I finish my move with 2 facedown cards." Yami Yugi declared.

"My move. Now I play Reduce Delay. This magic card allows me to play a certain trap this turn without waiting for your turn to start and I choose Solemn Wishes!" Rodyan declared.

"Now he can increase his life points every time draws a card." Tea said.

"Now, I also play Dian Keto the Cure Master to increase my life points by 1000. (R: 3000) I now play Soul Release to remove 5 monsters in my graveyard from play."

"That's weird. Why would he increase his life points higher and remove monsters from the game? He must be up to something!" he thought.

"I play Dimension Fusion!"

"What?"

"Yes, this card allows me to summon as many monsters that were removed from the game as possible as long as I pay 2000 life points. (R: 1000) I bring back my Wind Valkyrie (2500/1500), Wynn, the Wind Charmer (1500/1500), Wynn, the Controlled Spirit (2850/1500), Oxygedon (2800/1800), and Element Doom (2000/1200)."

A/N: I forgot to include Wind Valkyrie's effect to increase all wind monsters by 500 points last chapter.

"Oxygedon, attack Dark Magician! Controlled Spirit, Wynn, attack Dark Magician Girl! Everyone else, attack his life points!"

"I hate to say this but Yuge's a goner! He'll lose!" Tristan said without any hope.

"There's no way he can pull something off!" Duke said.

"Excellent. You just activated my trap, Hallowed Life Barrier!"

"Ugh! Not that."

"Yes, this card reduces all damage to 0 this turn as long as I discard one card. So my life points are safe."

4 women in purple robes placed their palms in the air and created a barrier around Atem.

"Phew. He's still safe." Serenity said relieved.

"Lucky! Now make your move!"

"Hmm. This isn't good. He has 5 monsters on the field while I have none. I hope this works." he thought. "All right, I play Monster Reborn to bring back Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700) in defense mode. I play Magic Shard Excavation. I discard two cards from my hand to bring back Sage's Stone to bring back Dark Magician (2500/2100) in defense mode. I summon Winged Kuriboh (300/200) in defense mode. That's all."

"Pathetic, I activate this card, Draining Energy!"

"That's not good."

"Yes, this takes half the defense points of the monsters on your side of the field and deducts them from your life points."

"So I lose 2000 life points (YY: 1650)."

"Lucky for you I can't attack. So, go! Not like it matters now."

Atem drew his card and found Transcendent Wings.

"This card will help me." he thought. "I end my turn with a facedown card."

"What! That's it! He's going to lose!" Tristan said.

"Relax, Tristan. He's not like that. He has something up his sleeve like always." Mai stated.

"Now, prepare to die! First, Oxygedon, attack Winged…"

"Hold on! I sacrifice two cards from my hand and activate this!"

Rodyan was shocked by his facedown card.

"I activate Transcendent Wings! This transforms my Kuriboh into a Level 10 monster. Now I activate its special ability."

"What are you doing?"

"When I sacrifice my Kuriboh, it can destroy all monsters on your side of the field in attack mode and takes the points from your monsters and deducts them from your life points!"

"No!"

Winged Kuriboh L. 10 basically destroyed itself along with Rodyan's monsters.

"Auugh! (R: 0) No I will not lose. Augh!"

The Pyramid of Light shined a light toward Rodyan and a symbol appeared under him. The symbol surrounded him while the light striked him and became trapped in the item.

Atem turned to regular Yugi.

"What happened?" Serenity asked confused.

"I suppose he's trapped in that thing. Probably, he'll die if he's stays there too long." Mai said.

"Well, since that's taken care of, let's make the pact with Sylph." Duke said.

"What?" Sheena asked since she didn't notice.

"Did you forget? We have to make the pact with them to save everyone. Well, it's one step, but you get the idea, right?" Joey stated.

"Oh, of course, if I even succeed." Sheena muttered.

"What did you say?" asked Bakura.

"Nothing."

"But can we rest first. I'm kind of hungry." Serenity said.

"Time to set up camp then." Yugi said.

During camp, Sheena felt apprehensive.

"Sheena, what's wrong?" asked her pet Corrine.

"Nothing."

"Are you worried about making the pact with Sylph?"

"Honestly, yes. What if I fail? It'll become a repeat of what happened 5 years ago."

"Don't worry. If you start to fail, I'll help you."

"I hope so."

Please review.
