Original Cards for Kumoko Himura (An excellent idea, by the way!)

Magician Dragon

Dragon/Spellcaster/Light/Fusion(Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon/Dark Magician)Effect

Each time a Spellcaster or Dragon type monster summoned, it is automatically destroyed. The monster's Atk. is added to that of this monster.

Atk. 4500 Def. 2500

Sorry if I change the text on any cards; it was for clarity purposes.

And a card of my own:

Sword of Gerunia

Equip Magic

This card can only be equipped to "Slate Warrior". The monster equipped with this card increases it's Atk. by 300 each turn.

Oh, Helldragon, I might alter the numbers on Magic Devourer to make it more powerful.

^blah^ = thoughts

Chap. 3: Hiei and Yami: The first duel

"I'll make the first move, Hiei!"

Yami drew one card. "I summon Breaker the Magic Warrior in Attack Mode! (1600/1200) And thanks to his special ability, I am allowed to play one Magic Counter on Breaker to increase his Attack by 300!" The armored magic soldier grew in Attack strength to 1900. "And that's not all. I will increase his Attack with the Mace of Disruption, to boost his Attack power by 500 points!" (2400) Breaker's sword was replaced by a glowing club with an enormous spike at the top. "Your move, demon."

Hiei chuckled ever so slightly as he looked at his hand. ^That fool. He thinks that his next move will save his hide, but not if I counter it first!^ "I will place 4 cards face down, and a monster in Defense." Hiei's cards appeared on the field.

Yami drew one card. "I will play 2 of my cards face down, and summon Luster Dragon in Attack Mode." The sapphire dragon gave a tremendous roar, given the fact that it was the most powerful monster in it's level class. (1900/1600) "Luster Dragon, attack his defense monster with Crystalline Force!" The Dragon immersed itself in a crystal orb, and began to slam itself down on the defense monster, when Hiei activated his face down card. "Go, Negate Attack! It blocks any and all attacks during the turn this card is activated, Yami! Your dragon's effort was all for naught; I anticipated your move, and prepared a counterstrategy!"

Yami began laughing. Apparently, Hiei's move did not bother him one bit. "Nice try, Hiei, but you obviously forgot my monster's special ability, or have you forgotten my Breaker? It allows me to remove the magic counter that I used to empower him, and use it to negate and destroy any magic or trap card played! Your Negate Attack is itself negated!"

"I knew you were a simpleton, Yami, but I had no idea how stupid you really were! Activate Fake Trap!" An imp-like being bearing a scroll upon which the word "FALSE" was emblazoned appeared. It leaped in front of the Magic created when the Magic counter was discarded, stopping it instantly.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!?"

Yami's shock that his counter discard plan failed was indescribable.

"Language, Pharaoh; you don't want to corrupt the pathetic excuse for an Aibou you inhabit, do you? At any rate, Fake Trap is something of a whipping boy; whenever a Magic, Trap, or Monster Effect targets a Trap Card, the Fake Trap takes the hit for it. And the best part is, you set the stage for my next move. End your turn, Yami; there is nothing you can do."
" I will place 2 cards face down, and end the turn."

^Hiei had the perfect strategy set up...how is that possible? It's almost like he...anticipated...every...move...! Oh dear God, could he possibly have...?^

^Perfect. The old fart is catching on. Soon I'll be able to remove this damn headband; I figure it would itch after wearing it for a year and a half.^

^I hope you're enjoying this, Seebach. If your minion's deck fails me, heads will roll...^

"I will flip my defense monster into face up attack mode. Say hello to the Slate Warrior!" A tall, imposing blue demon covered from head to toe in brass armor appeared. "The flip effect of Slate Warrior states that he gains 500 attack points each time he is flipped face up!" (2400/400) "I will then equip him with the Axe of Despair to increase his attack power by 1000, and his own personal weapon, the Sword of Gerunia, which will increase his attack power by 300 each turn!" (3700/400) "Slate Warrior, annihilate his Luster Dragon with Claw of Destruction!"

"Not so fast, Hiei! Activate Trap Card, Mirror Force! It deflects the power of the Slate Warrior and uses it against him! This duel is over!"

"This duel, over? Not by a long shot, Yami! Go, Royal Command! This card is an extremely rare Trap that negate all other Traps as long as it is on the field! Say goodbye to your Mirror Force, your tawdry dragon, and a huge chunk of your life points!" The magic of the Mirror Force was destroyed, and the Slate Warrior decimated the Luster Dragon; with one mighty slash, the dragon fell , splattering blood over the field.. "And my Slate Warrior is the least of your problems, Pharaoh. Before the end of the day, the might of the Kings of Egypt will be mine! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

As Yami's life points dropped to 2200, panic began to overwhelm him. How can I stop this guy? I knew he was a powerful duelist; that much I got from Yusuke's tales about him. But I didn't expect him to be able to read minds!

As long as he can read my thoughts, there is no way I will be able to beat him! I have to find a way to negate his brain searching, and I think I have just the way...

TO BE CONTINUED

Not bad, huh? I will keep updating this fic until the day it is done. Also, be on the lookout for a new fiction, "Guns and Roses"! Keep up reviewing, and happy Halloween!
