hibryd: Ok, I haven't seen anything fiction for a while because my uncle is a Jew about using computers. But here are the results of the quarterfinals so far: Paul beat Odion and Steven beat Yugi. Kaiba, Joey, Michael, Malik, Mai, and Ishizu have yet to duel. When we left off at my fill-in Chapter, Yugi had decided to leave the fate of the world in the hands of Steven, Paul, and Michael by losing to Steven. Malik revealed that the Egyptian God card Steven has is fake, and will try to make Steven play it for some diabolical reason. And MASAMUNE is still on Mars, seeing as how there is only one review for the last two Chapters.
MASAMUNE: -sitting on his behind playing Halo 2 on XBOX Live- At least hibryd gave me something to do. Die, Arbiter, DIE!
hibryd: -sitting on his behind playing against MASAMUNE on XBOX Live as the Arbiter- Mua ha ha! Die, MASAMUNE! –strikes MASAMUNE with an Energy Sword, effectively skewering him- That'll teach ya to mess with me, MASAMUNE! Now on to the fiction!
----------------- One Day at Home Ch. 17 -------------------------
'If that young fool doesn't use the fake Winged Dragon in his deck, I'll never beat him. Lucky for me, I have the real Winged Dragon of Ra.' Malik thought to himself. He pulled the card from his deck and looked at it admirably.
"It is now time for the drawing for the next duel! Everyone will report to the main room for this drawing!" Roland said over the intercom again.
Everyone was in the room except for Ishizu yet again.
"The first number is 10! The real Marik will participate against. . Number 5! Marik will duel Mai Valentine!"
"Oh, no. . .This is bad, Paul." Steven said.
"Yeah. But on the bright side, Marik doesn't have that Winged Dragon anymore."
'Those fools actually believe they are in possession of the real Winged Dragon! This will be more fun than I expected.' Malik thought as he slipped the Winged Dragon of Ra out of his deck.
For the third time in one night, everyone rode the elevator to the Platform to watch the fate of Mai unfold against the maddest villain who ever lived.
----------------------------------------------
And this is where the Author's Note comes in. Partially on account of laziness and partially on the fact that I've taken far too long to update, I'm skipping this duel, as it's been played out on television. The whole duel will unfold the same way, up to the point where Mai is about to take Malik's Winged Dragon with her Amazoness Chain Master. So, Fast Forward!
----------------------------------------------
"I think your Winged Dragon of Ra will do fine!"
"Sorry, my dear, but the Winged Dragon is not in my hand!"
"But, I know you have that card, I heard it right from Yugi!'
"But what you didn't hear from his little friends is that that fool Steven took the Winged Dragon in a duel with my minion Nevets! So that card's not in my deck!"
"What? Fine. Let me see what other cards are in your hand." Mai said in frustration. "I'll take your Granadora. And now that it's my move, I'll summon the Granadora I just took and gain 1000 Life Points! Granadora, attack!"
"Not so fast, my dear! I activate my Mirror Force Trap!"
"No, not a Mirror Force!"
"Every one of your monsters was just destroyed! And as a result of Granadora leaving your side of the field to go to the Graveyard, you lose 2000 Life Points!"
"No, I lose!"
"That was far too easy, my dear, so now I'll-"
"Keep your hands offa her, Marik, you crazy freak!" Joey yelled as he climbed up the Platform to stand between Malik and Mai.
"Stay away, you fool, or I'll send you to the Shadow Realm as well! We had an agreement." Malik said. "So now, say goodbye to Mai!"
Malik thrust the Millennium Rod down through the air and sent Mai to the Shadow Realm.
"No! Mai!"
"Joey, it's no use! She's gone!" Steven said.
----------------- End Chapter -------------------------
hibryd: I am of course sorry about how long it took to update. But now you have no excuse not to review! –slashes MASAMUNE with an Energy Sword once more- Ahhhhhhhh.
