Hey everyone! Here's my next chapter. The Field card that Edd played is something I made (DUH!) make sure you read and review. Now, on with the story already!


Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh:

The scene cuts to the duel of Team Ed against Team Orichalcos.

Valon: My Big Bang Blow's card effect destroys every monster that's on the field, combines each monster's ATK points and then all of our life points are deducted from each players' life points. But thanks to my Active Guard's card effect, I can absorb the blast so that were safe. Now, on to business!

Valon Big Bang Blow glows as he shoots an immense energy beam-fist. The beam strike one of Edd's monsters and it explodes, which causes a chain reaction that destroys every other monster that's on the field.

Edd: hold it right there!

He pushes a button on his duel disk and one of his facedown cards flip up (A/N: the image is a Cartoon Bomb, a black ball with a fuse sticking out and it is split it half by its center).

Edd: I think I'll end this chain by playing my Bomb Shell trap card (A/N: made that one up).

The trap card glows, forming a hologram of the card image. The Bomb opened up; the bullet then changes into a glowing ball of energy and enters the bomb. The top part then closes it tight.

Valon: what just happened?

Edd: my Continuous trap card just trapped the energy and the damage total into that bomb. And now, every passing turn, a Bomb counter will appear on the bomb. This card gets as many as possible. Whoever destroys this trap card will receive damage to whatever total is in the trap. And the number will multiply by how many counters there are.

Edd draws a card from his deck.

Edd: now here's where things get interesting. According to Duel Monsters rules, I can destroy my own Field magic card so I can play another.

His Field card zone pops open and the Pandemonium field all around disappeared.

Valon: HA! You made a mistake. Now without your Pandemonium, you three will have to pay life points for those Archfiends.

Edd begins to laugh a bit, which confuses everyone there.

Edd: please, Valon. Once I play the card I have right here (Holds it up), life points won't matter.

Raphael: they won't?

Edd: nope. Now prepare, for I'm going to change the entire nature of this game.

Alistair: what are you talking about?

Edd: as I said before, these Archfiends are named after pieces of a Chess-set. And this Field card could only work if I had one of each six Archfiends in either my hand and/or on the field. So, without further a due…

Everyone watched on in suspense as Edd's Field card slot opens again. The card he was holding was a Field magic card. Its image was all six of the Archfiend Chess-pieces monsters on a Chess board apposing another set of Chess-set Archfiends, one set colored white, the other black. He puts the card inside the slot, his duel disk glows as the playing area started to change.

Back to story, score so far:

Raphael: 6200

Alistair: 2550

Valon: 6000

Ed: 6400

Edd: 8000

Eddy: 9000

Our story continues just as it left off: Team Ed was dueling the group of Team Orichalcos on the Observatory of the Team World Plaza Tower. Edd was playing a Field magic card, and it was, as he said, supposed to change the entire nature of the game. The Field was changing as the floor started to have White and Black square tiles, like a Chess-Board.

Raphael: so what is this?

Edd: this, my friends, is the magic of Archfiends Chess-Board: a Field magic card. Allow me to explain how it works: first, every card in our hand, field, graveyard and those removed from play are returned to their correct decks, except my Field card of course.

As he says that, all the monsters and magic/trap cards on the field disappeared. They took their cards and placed them in their decks.

Edd: next step is that we choose six monsters from our decks. Since it's a team duel, we can pick from either deck, these monsters will be sort of like our Chess pieces for this game. First, we choose our king, which can be any monster we have of any level. (To Ed) Ed, would you like to choose our first monster?

Ed: okay, Double D. I think our king should be… our strongest monster: Gate Guardian!

A card pops out of his deck. Ed takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three

ATK: 3750
DEF: 3400

Edd: (To Team Orichalcos) well, it's your turn to choose your king.

Raphael: no brainier. Our king shall be my strongest monster: Guardian Eatos!

A card pops out of his deck. Raphael takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000

Edd: alright, now for our queen. I believe that our Valkyrion the Magna Warrior shall fit well. (To Ed) Ed?

Ed: you got it!

A card pops out of his deck. Ed takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three

ATK: 3500
DEF: 3850

Alistair: I guess it's our turn now. I think my Air Fortress Ziggurat will handle it.

A card pops out of his deck. Alistair takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000

Edd: next we choose our Bishop. Only level 7 or less can we choose to be our bishop. So, I think that our bishop should be my Patrician of Darkness.

A card pops out of his deck. Edd takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 2000
DEF: 1400

Valon: I believe that my Double Cloth Armor will make a good bishop.

A card pops out of his deck. Valon takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 0
DEF: 0

Edd: (to Ed) your choice for a knight, Ed?

Ed: my Fushioh Richie will make a good knight.

A card pops out of his deck. Ed takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 2600
DEF: 2900

Raphael: I choose my Guardian Grarl for a knight!

A card pops out of his deck. Raphael takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 2500
DEF: 1000

Edd: (To Eddy) it's your choice now, Eddy. You have to choose a level 6 or lower level monster to be a Rook.

Eddy: hmm… I think I'll choose my Goblin Elite Attack Force.

A card pops out of his deck. Eddy takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 2200
DEF: 1500

Alistair: I choose my Gorlag!

A card pops out of his deck. Alistair takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 1000
DEF: 1000

Edd: and lastly, we choose a pawn. A pawn has to be a level 4 or lower level monster. So, I'll choose my Royal Magical Library.

A card pops out of his deck. Edd takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster, which looked like a living bookshelf, appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 0
DEF: 2000

Valon: I pick my Psychic Armor Head to be our Pawn!

A card pops out of his deck. Valon takes it and puts the card on his duel disk. The monster appeared in front of the three.

ATK: 0
DEF: 0

Valon: so what happens now?

Edd: now, every monster in our decks, which we didn't choose, will be removed from play.

All of Team Orichalcos: WHAT?

Edd: well, the only monsters we're allowed to use are the ones we chosen. But we can still play our trap and magic cards. So now we re-shuffle our new decks of magic and trap cards and draw a new hand.

As he says this, the duel disks pushed out all the monster cards from each deck. Both team take the cards and sends them to their graveyard to be removed from play. Then they re-shuffled their decks and they draw from them, now each has five cards in their hands.

Edd: now, here's where the fun starts. As of right now, life points do not matter. The only way to win this duel now will be the same way you win in Chess: take out the king.

Alistair: that doesn't seem too hard.

Edd: ahh, yes. But you know the old saying: "it is easer said then done." You see, the monsters we've chosen now receives a "Chess counter" each. Depending on what piece they are representing, they receive different numbers of the counters. A Pawn monster receives eight counters, because there are eight pawns in Chess; Rooks, Knights, and Bishops monsters receive two counters each; and the King and Queen Get one counter each.

The monsters receive Chess pieces on string, like necklaces, on their bodies; they get the pieces that they represent. These are the Chess counters.

Edd: now, a monster can't be destroyed unless all of its counters are destroyed as well. Right now, the ATK and DEF of each monster on the field won't matter as long As they have the counters. The counters can only be destroyed if you attack a monster through battle, but don't worry, your monster won't be destroyed if it attacks a monster with more ATK points. Now, since is still relatively my turn, I'll demonstrate how we attack: first, both of us receive a Chess-piece Roulette wheel.

Above both Team Ed and Team Orichalcos appears a round Roulette wheel with six Chess piece images; Team Ed's is white while Team Orichalcos's is black.

Edd: as Chess tradition; white goes first.

The white Chess-piece Roulette wheel starts to spin. Everyone looked on in suspense as it started to slow down. It stopped, landing on the Pawn image.

Edd: well, looks like our pawn monster gets to attack. (To Team Orichalcos) Now we choose the target by spinning your Chess-piece Roulette.

The black Chess-piece Roulette wheel starts to spin. Everyone looked on in suspense as it started to slow down. It stopped, landing on the Rook image. (A/N: without a duel disk, the Roulette would more likely be a six-sided die)

Edd: well, it seems that our Pawn gets to attack your rook. Royal Magical Library, attack their Gorlag with Spell-book Shooter.

The monster shot books that were in its shelves towards Gorlag, the books strikes Gorlag and it loses one of its two rook Chess-piece counter.

Alistair: so that's how we attack, By chance?

Edd: pretty much. The Roulette won't activate until the battle phase and the monsters can change their modes only if they have no more counters. And, as I said before, were allowed to still use magic and trap cards. So, I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn.

He puts the cards in his duel disk and they both appear facedown in front of him.

Valon: (Draws card) my turn. (Thinking) this can't be good, their King is the strongest monster then all of them on the field. Double D said that we can still use magic and traps on the monsters, so we might still have a chance. (Aloud) alright, first things first: I'll set one card facedown.

He puts the card in his duel disk and it appears facedown in front of him.

Valon: next I think I'll go ahead and attack.

The black Chess-piece Roulette wheel starts to spin and it started to slow down. It stopped, landing on the Knight image.

Valon: looks like it's our knight against…

The white Chess-piece Roulette wheel starts to spin and it started to slow down. It stopped, landing on the Bishop image.

Valon: …your bishop. Guardian Grarl, attack the Fushioh Richie!

Guardian Grarl strikes Fushioh Richie with its Axe. Fushioh Richie loses its Chess-piece counter.

Valon: that's all for now.

Ed: (Draws card) I play my Necklace of Command, (Puts card in duel disk) Equipping it to our Fushioh Richie.

The magic card is shown on the field as a necklace with a purple gem appears around Fushioh Richie.

Ed: when he's destroyed in battle with the magic card, it will either let me draw a card from my deck, or destroy one of the cards in your hand. Now, on with the attack!

Both Roulettes spin at the same time, each starts to then slow down. White lands on King…

Ed: our Gate Guardian…

… And black lands on pawn.

Ed: against Psychic Armor Head!

The Sanga part forms lighting and the Kazejin part sucks it in and blows it towards Psychic Armor Head. It scurvies the blow as it loses its Chess-piece counter. Ed then puts a card in his duel disk and it appears facedown in front of him.

Ed: I end my turn setting a facedown card

Raphael: (Draws card) I play my Guardian Treasure, which I got back.

He puts the card in his duel disk and the magic card is shown on the field.

Raphael: I won't explain myself again because you've seen it in action before.

He then discards his entire hand and draws two cards.

Raphael: now, let's see who attacks who.

Both Roulettes spin at the same time, each starts to then slow down. Black lands on Bishop…

Raphael: Double Cloth Armor…

… And White lands on pawn.

Raphael: will attack your Royal Magical Library.

The Double Cloth Armor disappears and re-appears on Raphael. Raphael starts running towards Royal Magical Library and he strikes it with a punch, destroying one of its Chess-piece counters. Raphael then does a back-flip, returning to his duel place as the armor removed itself from his body and back to the field.

Raphael: I'll set one card facedown and end my turn.

He puts the card in his duel disk and it appears facedown in front of him.

Eddy: my turn. (Draws card) I think I'll just end my turn with an attack.

Both Roulettes spin at the same time, each starts to then slow down. White lands on rook, and black lands on king.

Eddy: YES! Goblin Elite Attack Force, attack their Guardian Eatos!

The four goblins rush towards Guardian Eatos, each striking the monster and removing its only Chess-piece counter.

Guardian Eatos:
ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000

Eddy: YES! Now all we have to do is attack that guardian again and we win.

Edd: yes, but unfortunately, we can't attack him until one of our monsters loses all of their Chess-piece counters.

Eddy: oh… (Pauses) well, I think I'll end my turn.

Alistair: (Draws card, thinking) this is bad. Our king is exposed. And if either of their king or Queen loses their counters, they'll be able to attack our king. We've got to prevent that! (Aloud) alright, I think start things off by setting two cards facedown.

He put the cards in his duel disk and the two cards appear facedown in front of him.

Alistair: now, I think I'll call an attack.

Both Roulettes spin at the same time, each starts to then slow down. Black lands on rook, and white lands on knight.

Alistair: (sighs, in low tone) that was close. (Aloud) Alright, Gorlag, attack their Fushioh Richie.

Gorlag strikes Fushioh Richie with its flame sword, removing the Chess-piece counter on Fushioh Richie.

Alistair: I think I'll play a magic card known as Banner of Courage.

He puts the card in his duel disk and the magic card is shown on the field.

Alistair: every time any of our team of monsters attacks, their ATK points increase by 200.

Edd: (thinking) he's up to something, he know that as long as our monsters have their counters, their ATK and DEF points don't matter, but only their king is exposed.

Alistair: I end my turn, your move.

Edd: of course. (Draws card, thinking) oh great, I don't have anything to defend ourselves or our monster from any traps they might have for us. (Aloud) I think I'll pass my turn without calling an attack. Instead, I'll just set this facedown.

He puts a card in his duel disk and it appears facedown in front of him.

Edd: your move, Valon.

Valon: (Draws card) a bit scared, are we? Well, let's see what you think of this: go Chess Roulette!

Both Roulettes spin at the same time, each starts to then slow down. Black lands on bishop, and white lands on knight.

Valon: Looks like another thrashing for you knight!

The Double Cloth Armor disappears and re-appears on Valon. He then starts running towards Fushioh Richie and strikes it with a punch, destroying its last Chess-piece counters.

Fushioh Richie:
ATK: 2600
DEF: 2900

Valon then does a back-flip, returning to his duel place as the armor removed itself from his body and back to the field.

Raphael: (To Valon) YOU IDIOT!

Valon: what?

Alistair: now they are able to attack out king freely with their knight! And in case you did noticed, IT HAS HIGHER ATK POINTS!

Valon: (Realizes) …oohhhh… well, I think I'll set a card facedown and leave it at that.

He puts a card in his duel disk and it appears facedown in front of him.

Ed: (Draws card) Now it my turn! Fushioh Richie, attack Guardian Eatos with Bone Scythe!

Fushioh Richie raises it Bone Scythe and runs towards Guardian Eatos.

Ed: (to Edd) what's that called when you win at Chess?

Edd: I believe the term is "Checkmate", Ed.

Ed: thanks. (To Team Orichalcos) looks like this is Checkmate, Team Orichalcos!

Alistair: not so fast!

He pushes a button on his duel disk and one of his facedown cards flips up.

Alistair: I reveal my facedown trap: Rising Energy! Once I discard from my hand, our king gets 1500 extra ATK points!

He takes a card from his hand and sends it to the graveyard. Guardian Eatos starts glowing.

Guardian Eatos:
ATK: 4000
DEF: 2000

Alistair: Guardian Eatos, counter!

Guardian Eatos takes its sword and countered the attack from Fushioh Richie by destroying the Scythe. Then, Eatos strikes Fushioh Richie with its sword, destroying the monster.

Alistair: it's not easy to take us down! We'll make sure of that!

Edd: (Surprised) brilliant move!

Alistair: and there's more where that came from.

Ed: that may be, but my monster had the Necklace of Command, so now I get to draw an extra card.

He draws a card from his deck and looks at it, studying the card.

Ed: (thinks for a moment) okay, I'll set this facedown and call it a turn.

He puts the card he drew in his duel disk and it appears facedown in front of him.

Raphael: (Draws two cards) alright, this might be risky, but I'll call Chess Roulette.

Both Roulettes spin at the same time, each starts to then slow down. Black lands on knight, and white lands on rook.

Raphael: your move Grarl, attack the Goblins with your Gravity Axe!

Guardian Grarl rushes towards the Goblin Elite Attack Force, attacking them with its Gravity Axe. The Goblins take the blow, losing one of their Chess-piece counters.

Raphael: that's it for me.

Eddy: (Draws card) GO CHESS ROULETTE!

Both Roulettes spin at the same time, each starts to then slow down. White lands on bishop, and black lands on knight.

Eddy: time to take revenge! Go Goblins!

The four goblins rush towards Guardian Grarl, each striking the monster and removing one of its Chess-piece counters.

Eddy: I end my turn.

Alistair: (Draw card) activate Chess Roulette!

Both Roulettes spin at the same time, each starts to then slow down. Black lands on queen, and white lands on king. Everyone gasped at the result.

Alistair: looks like I have no choice. Air Fortress Ziggurat; attack their Gate Guardian with your Air Fortress Cannons.

The Fortress shot multiple cannons towards Gate Guardian. The cannons make contact, hitting Gate Guardian and removing its Chess-piece counter.

Gate Guardian:
ATK: 3750
DEF: 3400

Nazz: both kings are exposed!

Kevin: and the Eds' king is the stronger one!

Alistair: I end my turn; it's your move, Double D.

Edd: (Draws card, thinking) he's not worried? Oh man, what does he have planned?

Ed was looking at Edd and he notices the look on his face. Now, usually he doesn't notice facial expressions, but when he's in "duel-mode" he can read a face like a book, or in his case, a comic book.

Ed: don't worry, Double D, just attack! If anything happens, Eddy and me will back you up.

Now at one point or another, Edd never trusted his two companions. But he can see that Ed was in his serious duel mode, so he decided…

Edd: (Thinking) oh, what the heck! (Aloud) Gate Guardian, attack! Destroy Guardian Eatos with your Thunder Surge!

The Sanga part forms lighting and the Kazejin part sucks it in and blows it towards Guardian Eatos.

Alistair: fell for the same move twice! (Pushes button on duel disk) I activate my Trap Regeneration! (A/N: see chapter 10 of this story)

His facedown card flips up.

Alistair: once I discard from my hand, I'll be able to re-create the effects of a previous trap card, and I choose my Rising Energy again!

He discards from his hand and the trap card glows, as does Guardian Eatos.

Guardian Eatos:
ATK: 4000
DEF: 2000

Alistair: well, Team Ed, I believe that is Checkmate!

Ed: NOT TODAY, TEAM ORICHALCOS!

He pushes a button on his duel disk and his facedown card flips up. The image is a person's arm, with a hospital tube, transferring blood to a monster (possibly, a Mokey Mokey).

All of Team Orichalcos: What is that?

Ed: I activate my counter trap! It's called Monster Health Transplant. (A/N: Made that one up) I can only activate it if one of my monsters attacks a stronger monster and the other way around; when that happens, I am allowed to give up as much life points I can until both monsters have the same ATK points. But at a cost: I must pay it by discarding half the cards in my deck to the graveyard.

His duel disk pushes out 10 cards from his deck; because all that was there were 20 cards. He takes the cards that were pushed out and sends them to the graveyard. Once he did that, his duel disk sparked and, from its life point counter, popped out a clear glowing tube, which rushed towards the Gate Guardian. Once the tube attached itself to Gate Guardian's left arm, Ed's duel disk sparked as a red energy fluid started to form from it and was traveling towards the monster. Ed was groaning a bit, but mainly because the duel disk vibrated so hard (A/N: yeah, I believe that's what happens when life points are lost when using a duel disk).

Ed: 6150

Gate Guardian:
ATK: 4000
DEF: 3400

Valon: wait! I though you said life points didn't matter now.

Edd: it doesn't matter "in won or lost." It didn't say anything about life points as a cost. (A/N: hey, I made a rhyme) now then…

Ed, Edd, n' Eddy: GATE GUARDIAN, ATTACK!

Raphael, Alistair, and Valon: GUARDIAN EATOS, ATTACK!

Gate Guardian shot its Thunder Surge and Guardian Eatos created an energy beam from its hands. Both shots collided with each other and created a huge explosion, which clouded the entire area of the observatory. Soon, but slowly the smoke cleared. Everyone was coughing because of the smoke and no one could be seen.

Alistair: (voice) Hey! I can't see!

Edd: (cough, voice) does anyone have a cough drop?

Jonny: (voice) I CAN'T FIND PLANK!

Kevin: (annoyed, voice) he's in your arms.

Jonny: (voice) found him!

The smoke finally faded as we now see that both King monster are no where to be seen, both were destroyed because of equal ATK points.

Ref-Bot 32: (Blows whistle) Both Gate Guardian and Guardian Eatos were destroyed in battle. Due to the effects Archfiend's Chess-Board, as both King monster were destroyed, this match is considered a Draw! Both teams will receive a solved portion of their Puzzle Spheres.

Both the duel disk and the Puzzle Spheres belonging to the two teams started to glow. The Spheres turned slightly, being solved a little for one turn.

Eddy: that was way too close!

Edd: (to Ed) thank you for the trap, Ed.

Ed: anytime, Double D.

Raphael: well, that was a challenging duel.

Raphael: that duel was amazing.

Valon: yeah, it was just as good as my duel with Wheeler. (To Team Peach Creek) and you guys left these three? Heh, it's your lost.

Sara: (To Kevin) this is your fault!

Kevin: what did I do?

Sara: You just had to get rid of my brother and his goofy friends, didn't you?

Kevin: hey, you all wanted to get rid of them as much as I did!

Eddy: (to Ed and Edd) well, come on, boys! This calls for celebration. Sodas and Jawbreakers on me (Pause)… well, maybe if we all pitch in.

Ed: (Normal tone) JAWBREAKERS!

In excitement of having jawbreakers, Ed started to run towards the elevators, leaving the observatory and his teammates behind.

Eddy: hey! Wait for us, Lumpy!

Edd: ED! Hold the Elevator!

Both Edd and Eddy ran after Ed before the elevator closes, leaving Team Peach Creek and Team Orichalcos behind.

Valon: (To Team Peach Creek) I think I see why you might have left them.


Damn this chapter took a long time. Okay, I'm officially debating. To all you readers, should I do two more duels in this Fic or just one more? I have to at lease have one last duel before I move on, so you decide, readers! Keep reading and reviewing.
