The Forbidden Love


Chapter Thirteen: Figure Revealed

And so the duel began. The figure started first and as he drew his card he said,

"I begin the duel with two cards face down on the field and a monster in defense mode. That's all for now."

Kaiba drew his card as well, "I play my Vorse Raider in attack mode. Now, Vorse Raider, attack!" Indeed the Vorse Raider attacked and it was revealed to him that it was a Witch of the Black Forest.

"I'm sure that you are aware of my witch's special ability. It allows me to move one monster with 1500 defense points or less from my deck and into my hand. Then I have to shuffle my deck."

"Humph…whatever. Like it's going to help you. Next I place two cards face down on the field."

The figure drew his card again. "Now that you're done. I place yet another card place down on the field and play Graceful Charity. This allows me to draw three cards as long as I discard two." He smiled. "Next I play a card that is unfamiliar to you…I play the ritual magic card Reed's Revival."

"What's that card? I never heard of it before."

"I forgot to mention to you. Mr. Pegasus and I have a…secret agreement with each other. It seems that he is a fanatic about folklore and myths. So whenever I get the chance, I tell him of these stories and he creates cards based on those stories. All I ask in return is the cards that he makes."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that I have cards that this world has never heard of, cards that are so powerful that they are not even released to the general public."

"So what you are is a cheater!"

"No…I'm just the guy with good cards. Now that you're done, I'll explain to you what this card does. I must sacrifice eight stars worth of monsters in order to summon my Master of Clow."

"Another card?"

"Damn straight." The figure discarded one card into his graveyard and suddenly blinding light shone through. A man with a blue robe and with glasses appeared. He had 2800 attack points and 2500 defense points. Up from the side, Sakura could see the duel and when she saw this monster, she gasped. "Clow Reed? Could it be you?"

Back to the duel, the figure continued his move, "Next I play, Clow Direction. This magic card allows me to move two cards from my deck to my hand as long as they have the words 'Clow' in them. I then play the equip magic cards Clow Book and Key of the Sun." Soon the Master of Clow had a key in the shape of the sun on his neck and a book on his left.

"No…" Sakura thought.

Kaiba jeered at him, "What did that do? Your monster isn't stronger."

"That's where you're wrong. As long as I say the incantation to change the key…"

"What?"

"Like the Winged Dragon of Ra, an ancient incantation must be said in order to summon him. In the same way, I must say the incantation in order to change the key…into a staff."

The figure closed his eyes, "I call upon the powers of the day and the night. Sun and moon, unleash your might." The key then turned into a staff in which the Master of Clow took it unto his right hand.

"Still doesn't do anything. What I'm guessing is that you're making your monster flashier. It doesn't do a thing."

"Overconfidence is the greatest enemy. Now then, I'll activate my Master of Clow's special ability. It as long as I discard one magic or trap card on the field, I can raise his attack power by 500 attack points and keep those points for the duration of the duel as long as Clow Staff is on the field." The Master of Clow's attack points was raised to 3300. "Now then, attack!"

He attacks with his staff and Kaiba's Vorse Raider was the target. "Hold on! I activate the magic card, Shrink! This allows me to decrease the selected monster's attack points by half and I'm target my Vorse Raider." Vorse Raider shrunk as with his attack points being to 950. "Next I activate my trap card, Crush Card Virus. Every one of your monsters that is over 1500 attack points is destroyed."

"Gee, I'm in big trouble. If only I didn't think about that earlier." The figure pushed a button on his duel disk. "I activate my trap, seven tools of the bandit. At a cost of 1000 life points, I am able to negate your trap effect."

The attack reached Vorse Raider and thus leaving Kaiba's life points at 2150. Due to the effect of seven tools of the bandit, the figure's life points were at 3000. Slowly the figure's legs started to disappear.

"What's happening to you?" Kaiba asked.

"Was I talking to myself the whole time? The cost of the shadow game. Each time a player loses life points, one part of the body is engulfed by darkness. However you're not suffering…" He pointed up once again. Kaiba looked and with a gasped he saw that half of Sakura's body was disappearing and a part of her hand.

"You lost almost half your life points. Did I mention that she's afraid of the dark?"

"Kid…I'm sorry…"

"No…I'm the one that's sorry. It's my entire fault."

"Now that I'm done…The move is yours, Kaiba."

"This is insane. That kid's in danger and if I don't stop this guy she'll be gone forever. I won't let that happen."

"Pathetic."

"What?"

"Oh, I wasn't talking to you."

"Then who?"

"Sakura…" The figure looked at her. "It seems that your innocence of a child has disappeared with this final action."

"Just answer me this," Kaiba said. "What is your mission? What do you have to gain?"

"Simple. It has been always my mission to test you, Sakura. To see if you were indeed worthy of the Clow Cards. Now that I see this, I know that you are not powerful to wield them or not worthy. That has been always my mission."

She whispered, "Always been your mission…who are you?"

The figure blinked. He blinked again. He then flung his robe off of himself and revealed himself to be a boy with the same blue material as the Master of Clow and with the same glasses. Sakura gasped, "No…it couldn't be…impossible…"

"Kid?" Kaiba asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Not impossible, Sakura, possible."

"Eli…"

"Eli?"

The boy gave a deep bow, "Eli Moon. Reincarnation of Clow Reed and rightful heir to the Clow Cards. At your service…Shall we finish this, Mr. Kaiba?"


It seemed that the figure is…actually Eli? How come you ask? Is his alignment within the forces of evil? Please R&R, we're nearly at the end!
