Chapter Three: Come on You Can Do It, Put A Little Life Into It!

"Well come on then Seto",Pegasus suddenly burst out.

Kaiba opened his briefcase and pulled out two disk systems. He then threw one at Pegasus, who missed it, turned red and picked back up off the floor and placed his deck into the compartment as Kaiba did the same. Their life points filled up to two thousand each.

"If I win this duel I want Mokuba's and Yugi's grandfather's souls and the prize money!" Kaiba declared.

"Hmm, fine, but if I win you have to shut down your company!" Pegasus shouted back.

Kaiba's eye twitched while thinking this over. Then he finally replied, "Alright, alright let's get started then. The first move is yours!"

Pegasus and Kaiba drew five cards each and then Pegasus had a twisted smile on his face. "The first card I play is the Oppressed People with an attack of four hundred and a defence of two thousand in defensive mode", Pegasus announced in a rather smug voice.

Then Kaiba put down a card and said, "I play the Judge Man, with an attack of two thousand two hundred and a defence of one thousand five hundred in attack mode, wiping out your Oppressed People."

Pegasus: 1800

Kaiba: 2000

Pegasus drew a card. He sighed and laid it face down in defence position. Kaiba frowned and drew a card. It was a Blue Eyes White Dragon. He wondered whether he should play it or polymerise it again with the other two. He decided to keep it for now and save it for an emergency.

Yugi suddenly remembered Pegasus could see through the backs of cards. "Kaiba, just keep in mind that this is not a fair duel and play it like your opponent knows every card you've got", Yugi shouted from the side lines to make sure he was listening.

"What?" Kaiba shouted back. He almost pouted but then suddenly remembered he was not talking on the phone to a business man that he could pull faces at if he didn't make good deal. Instead he glared at Pegasus like he was the person he resented the most in the world (which was almost true, depending on what mood Kaiba was in or if he'd stolen his brothers soul that particular day) but instead laid down Ryu-Ran down in defence mode and muttered, "Your move", and then fell silent, still thinking.

Pegasus then drew a card and declared it, "Just Desserts will take away five hundred points for each monster on the field", and then he laughed in Kaiba's face evilly (as usual).

Pegasus: 1800

Kaiba: 1000

Seto was now extremely annoyed at Pegasus and drew another card. It was the Polymerisation card. He decided to save up for the kick butt monster, the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

"Judge Man, attack!" Kaiba said, still very annoyed.

Pegasus's monster burst into a zillion fragments.

"Your Masked Dragon is destroyed", Kaiba snapped.

Pegasus: 700

Kaiba: 1000

Pegasus drew a card then played Dian Keto the Cure Master.

Pegasus: 1700

Kaiba: 1000

Kaiba's eye twitched again. After all that and the giant damage amount it only resulted in being one hundred points. After that Pegasus placed another monster face down.

Kaiba drew another card. It was another Blue Eyes. 'Only one more', he thought desperately.

"Judge Man, attack!" he said sourly.

The monster did not burst into a million fragments, but instead revealed itself as Joan the Maid. Joan suddenly appeared and sliced his Judge Man up.

Pegasus: 1700

Kaiba: 400

Kaiba had to do something before his points hit zero.

Pegasus attacked Ryu-Ran.

Pegasus: 1700

Kaiba: 200

He drew a card and found it was his Crash Clown. He suddenly realised he had had the Crash Card Virus in his hand for ages. He placed them both on the field. Pegasus chuckled and attacked the crash clown. Almost instantly Joan fragmented into a zillion pieces.

"Argh!" Pegasus roared, "I should've known!"

Kaiba just smiled and thought, 'Revenge is sweet'.

Pegasus couldn't play any of the monsters in his hand so he used Reload and threw his cards into the graveyard and drew another hand, but still, nothing.

Kaiba drew his next card. The third Blue Eyes card!

Kaiba punched his fist into the air (this is why he's no good at Poker, just like a certain dumb, blonde someone named Joey Wheeler) and quickly polymerised them to make the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

"Attack Pegasus, now!" Kaiba cried at the dragon.

It demolished Pegasus's life points.

"NOOOOOOO!" Pegasus cried. "Fine!" he spat and released Mokuba and Yugi's grandfather. He then threw the bag of money at Kaiba's head, which knocked him backwards onto the floor, and then turned around and marched into the next room, fuming.

"Seto!" Mokuba cried as he ran over to Kaiba. Kaiba sat up and rubbed his head and moaned.

"Here Joey", Kaiba said as he pushed the bag of money towards him.

"Thanks Kaiba", Joey sighed earnestly in awe.

"Seto, Seto what happened? Who's that?" Mokuba asked pointing at the Celtic Guardian. Everybody laughed (including Kaiba) and he replied, "Well, let's see. Believe it or not he was a she, but then something weird happened and the hologram of the Celtic Guardian became real." Kaiba summed up for him. Mokuba looked very confused so Kaiba just cuddled him from behind.

"So you do know how to be nice then", said Yugi's grandfather with one eyebrow raised.

Everybody smiled or laughed. Then there was an awkward silence.

"So", the Celtic Guardian said brightly, "who wants to go visit Pegasus?"

Seeing the looks on their faces he hastily added, "I was being sarcastic!" while waving his hands in front of him.

Mokuba suddenly jumped up and walked over to the Celtic Guardian.

"Are you real?" he asked. The Celtic Guardian just smiled and nodded. "C-can I touch you, just to make sure?"

The Celtic Guardian nodded again and extended his arm. Mokuba hesitantly touched it, and then started examining him.

"Wow, you even have a sword", he said pointing.

The Celtic Guardian unsheathed it and held it out on his palms so that the blade shone in the well lit room. Mokuba bent over it to examine it closely and then smiled and nodded before retreating back to his brother, who was now standing.
