Chapter 13: Settling Matters I: Kaiba vs. Noah

Sorry, if the beginning seems lame.

The gang headed to the plane that goes to Egypt. Once they landed, they went inside the tomb and got inside Yugi's Millennium Puzzle to find the door.

"We're one step closer to saving the world." Joey said.

"But you know, unless there's a method to time travel, our efforts will be useless."

"Let's do what we can do first. Then, worry about that later." Serenity optimistically said.

Mokuba and Kaiba headed up to the terrace to find and duel Noah.

"So you finally showed up. I thought you were going to hold back, considering you dueled stupidly last time."

"That was the past! This time I'm going to beat the crap out of you."

"Let's duel!"

The gang then had to find the door.

"So, how do we find the door to Egypt?" Sheena asked.

"Well, last time, we put our hands together and concentrated on him. So, maybe if we do that again, it'll work."

Everyone put their hands together and concentrated on the door and focused on just that. Suddenly, a bright light appeared before them and was a portal to Egypt in 5000 BC.

"Soon, I'm going to finally take control of your company and fulfill what (deeper voice) what Anubis desires!"

"Look, there's no way you're going to take control of my company! So once this damn duel is over, I want you to get out of my life!"

"Heh, as arrogant as ever."

"Watch it, punk! Keep that up and I'll just make you go on a one way ticket to hell!"

"Seto…" Mokuba muttered.

"I'll start. And I'll summon a monster in defense mode. I activate Spring of Rebirth. This lets me regain 500 points for each monster that comes back to my hand. I'll end my turn with a facedown card."

"That's it? How lame. I summon Vorse Raider (1900/1200) in attack mode. Vorse Raider, attack! Blood Axe!"

Blood came to the axe and he struck the facedown card and it was the Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000). Kaiba lost 100 points (K: 3900).

"Sorry, but my stone soldier has more defense points than your monster's attack points."

"Heh, lucky shot. I end my turn with a facedown card."

"My move." Noah had a smirk in his face. "I play Shield and Sword. This switches the attack and defense points of my monster making it stronger than your Vorse Raider (2000/1300). Next, I summon Yata Garasu (300/200) in attack mode. I switch my Soldier in attack mode. Stone Soldier, attack with Stone Sword Cut!"

"Not so fast, I activate Damage Barrier! This basically reduces the damage from your attack to 0."

However, Vorse Raider is still destroyed. Noah commanded Yata Garasu to attack his life points (K: 3600). Kaiba has to skip his next Draw Phase.

"Now, Yata Garasu, return to my hand! And Spring of Rebirth, activate! In case you forgot, I gain 500 life points with every monster that returns to my hand!" (N: 4500)

Stone Soldier's points returned to normal.

"My move. I play Luna's Light! This allows me to summon one Light-attribute monster without a sacrifice and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I summon Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)!"

"Wow! Already?" Mokuba said amazed.

"This duel will end after a few blasts. Blue-Eyes, White Lightning!"

Noah groaned and got his life points reduced to 2800.

"I summon Gradius (1200/800) in attack mode. I end my turn with two facedown cards."

"Heh, this duel will be quicker than I thought. I summon Battle Ox (1700/1000). Blue-Eyes, use White Lightning on Gradius!"

Noah's life points reduced to 1000.

"Battle Ox, end this!"

"Not so fast, I activate Negate Attack! Basically, this negates your attack and I'm still standing."

"That's weird. Why the heck did Noah activate Negate Attack after Battle Ox, when he could've activated it after Blue-Eyes' attack and end the Battle Phase?" Mokuba thought confused.

"My move. Heh, this duel will be finished. This is now, the perfect timing! I activate my facedown card, Pyramid of Light!"

A glowing blue pyramid surrounded the playing field and knocked Mokuba away. Kaiba called out his name in concern. Noah then received the millennium symbol on his forehead.

"Now, the Pyramid of Light will change the game!"

"Please. Not that stupid magic crap. Just get over it and duel!"

"You're still so egotistical and oblivious to everything. Even after you saw the Pharaoh go back into the spirit world in Egypt."

"Are you just going to blather around about that stupid nonsense or just duel?"

"All right, fine! Suit yourself."

"How did he even know about that if he wasn't there? And why does Noah seem obnoxious? He changed after I left that virtual world. I'm positive!" Mokuba thought in his head.

"I activate my other facedown card, DNA Transplant! With it, I can change the attribute of all monsters and I choose Darkness."

All monsters became more evil-looking.

"What was the point of that?" Mokuba thought.

"I activate my last card, Revival of the Aurora Master! You see, this card has a story behind it."

"Oh joy, a history lesson with magic involved."

"You see, there were two worlds known as Inferia and Celestia. There was a disaster known as the Grand Fall where the two worlds will come to a close and they would crash. But a swordsman used his Light Aurora skills to defeat the one who bears Dark Aurora. I summon the Aurora Master of Light (2400/2000)." A brown haired swordsman with a blue shirt and brown pants with armor arrived. And because of my pyramid, he gets an extra 500 attack points. (2900/2000) I finish with a facedown card."

"What was the point of summoning him? My Blue-Eyes will still crush him! Blue-Eyes, White-Lightning!"

"Wait a minute. I remember that story! Whenever the bearer of the Dark Aurora used her Aurora skill, he countered with…" Mokuba shouted to Seto. "Seto, wait! Cancel your attack!"

"Too late!"

In the Puzzle

The portal appeared and a bright shining light lead them to 5000 BC in Egypt.
