Hey all. Thanks again for the comments. I appreciate each and everyone that I get from everybody. Well, I think it's time I answer a few reviews now.

Isis the Sphinx: Never know. Those two idiots are so desperate to win, they could tag team Illidan. And yeah, they did act like big babies. Lol, that was kind of the point. Both wanted their rematch, but neither wanted to give the other the chance to have it with the other not getting their shot. Glad this keeps you connected, lol. This was the only thing that kept me connected till about four or five weeks ago, when I started watching the end of the show. It kind of left me much to think about, and the end kind of left me pondering many things. It kind of screwed up many things and left many questions about certain things, but oh well.

Ultimate Legendary Master: Yeah, the cards could be improved on, but when I started work on this story, the ban wasn't out yet, I think… No, I don't think it was out yet, but I'm not sure. I think if it was, I just decided to go with traditional style anyways, so that I could stick with the show to an extent. And yeah, at the end of Battle City, Yugi did hold all three Egyptian God Cards, but I believe I explained later what happened. He returned them, along with the Millennium Items for the upcoming battle. Again, thanks for the comments.

Metal Overlord 2.0: Lol, yeah, Gozaburo figured Illidan needed one more thing to entertain him, hehe. And yeah, this should hopefully shut them up (not likely though, hehe). Well, I thought about a tag team battle, but all teams were created by now, and had dueled at least once, so hence there was no point to have them duel again. LOL! I'm sure Ryou would love that… Watches Ryou running away once again. Ryou: "SOMEBODY SAVE ME!" Silly Ryou, this is what you get for making the girls love you.

pink-kiss-candy: Lol! Sees the black trench coat. Poor Ryou, you've got a woman dressing you now. Ryou: "NO, I REFUSE TO WEAR IT!" Watches Ryou run once more. Run man, run for your life! They're after you!

Well, that's all for the reviews this time. Today should be fun. I start my new job, so we'll see how that works out. I truly hope that it does in a way, but in so many ways I'm torn between staying at it and going north with my fiancé and trying to find work there. Sigh Life just seems so unfair sometimes, but oh well, I'll find a way to survive. Always have, and always will I guess. Anyways, enough sappy stuff. Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 70

Illidan looked at his hand, seeing he held Thunder Nyan Nyan, Magic Cylinder, Scapegoat, D.D. Warrior Lady, Beta the Magnet Warrior, and his newly drawn Gamma the Magnet Warrior.

Slightly smiling, Illidan said "I'll start things off by summoning my Thunder Nyan Nyan (1900/800) in attack mode." A red headed female monster with a leopard print leotard then appeared. In front of her set a pair of large drums and she pulled out a pair of drumsticks to play them with.

"Next I'll set two cards face down and end my move." (Illidan 4000, Seto 4000, Keith 4000)

Seto smugly said "Is that all you can muster Illidan? Then you'd better be prepared to lose. Now watch as I summon my powerful Vorse Raider (1900/1200) in attack mode." An ogre like monster appeared on the field. The mighty ogre was in black leather and held a powerful double handed axe.

"Now I'll as well set two cards face down. That ends my move." (Illidan 4000, Seto 4000, Keith 4000)

Keith only commented "You two are pathetic. Watch a real move, ladies! I now summon my X-Head Cannon (1800/1500) in attack mode." A blue and yellow monster with two rather long barrels appeared on the field. It floated in mid air by some kind of hover technology.

"Thanks to my Deck Master's special ability, X-Head Cannon gets a power boost of 200 points (2000/1700)." The large red and blue machine monster's eyes then glowed red as it fired a beam into the back of the blue and yellow monster. The monster then glowed slightly as it's power increased.

"To finish my turn, I'll set one card face down. Your move dweeb." (Illidan 4000, Seto 4000, Keith 4000)

Illidan drew his next card and smiled. It was Valkyrion the Magna Warrior. Glancing at the field, he decided to bide his time for the moment.

"I'll summon D.D. Warrior Lady (1500/1600) in defense mode." A female warrior in grey and black armor with a sword at her side then appeared on the field in a one knee position with her arms crossed.

"That ends my move." (Illidan 4000, Seto 4000, Keith 4000)

Seto drew and smirked, saying "My move chumps. Watch as I decimate the competition! I first sacrifice my Vorse Raider to summon Luster Dragon #2 (2400/1400) in attack mode." A powerful emerald dragon appeared and spread it's massive green wings out. It then roared at Illidan and Keith.

"Luster Dragon #2, destroy Keith's tin can with Emerald Blaster!" The dragon roared as it opened it's mouth up and let loose a green stream of energy at the blue and yellow machine monster. The monster moaned as it was struck, and finally exploded into millions of pieces.

Keith only growled, yelling "Why you little…"

Seto only chided him with "Now, now Keith, no need to get mad. I end my move." (Illidan 4000, Seto 4000, Keith 3600)

Keith angrily drew his card and said "Alright, it's time I turn up the heat. I first summon Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600) to the field. Of course, he gets a power boost as well since he's a machine monster (1700/1800)." A red metallic dragon with wings for arms then appeared on the field and let out a small metallic screech. The powerful red and blue machine monster then let his eyes glow again and fired a beam at the dragon, increasing it's power.

"Next, I'll play Monster Reborn, allowing me to resummon my X-Head Cannon (1800/1500). Then he gets a boost as well (2000/1700)." The blue and yellow machine monster then reappeared on the field beside the red metallic dragon.

"Now I play the magic card Reasoning, which allows me to have one of you two to pick a monster level. I then draw till I find a monster. If you guessed wrong, that monster is instantly special summoned to the field. If you guess right though, it's sent to the Graveyard. Also, any other card I draw is sent to the Graveyard. Now, Seto, pick a monster level."

Seto thought for a second and finally said "I'll pick six since most of your heavy machines are level six."

Keith only smirked and replied "Fine then Kaiba, watch as I draw. The first monster I drew was Z-Metal Tank (1500/1300). And now he gets a boost as well (1700/1500)!" A red and yellow metallic, yet odd shaped, tank appeared on the field. Keith's Deck Master then powered up and shot a beam at the tank, instantly increasing its power.

Keith only let out a snicker, saying "Now I combine all three together to form the XYZ-Dragon Cannon (2800/2600)! And don't forget, its power is boosted as well (3000/2800)!" The blue and yellow monster with twin barrels first linked up with the red machine dragon. The two then connected up with the blue and yellow tank, forming a massive tank altogether. Finally, Keith's Deck Master fired a laser blast at the monster, making it much stronger.

"You're about to die now rich boy! XYZ-Dragon Cannon, …"

Seto only smirked at the comment, saying "Not so fast motor mouth. I activate a trap called Ring of Destruction!"

Keith was extremely surprised at what the card was. Without any warning, a huge collar appeared. It had several bombs attached to it's side. The collar then began to spin wildly till it flew across the field and slipped around the neck of the large tank monster. The tank monster squirmed to get free, but couldn't. The collar then suddenly glowed and exploded, taking the tank monster with it.

Seto only chuckled, saying "So much for that piece of junk. Now you lose 3000 life points due to the destruction of your monster."

Keith only growled, but then smirked, replying with "You lose 3000 points as well rich boy, so what's your point?"

Seto only lightly chuckled, saying "I'm not done yet Keith. I reveal my other face down magic card, Ring of Defense. This card protects my life points from the damage inflicted by Ring of Destruction. So, I lose no life points." With that said, a huge ring was deployed in front of Seto, spinning a stopping the damage he'd have received. Keith's points then went down by 3000, leaving Keith greatly angered.

After growling for a moment, Keith snickered, saying "I'm not done with you yet rich boy. Watch as I activate my face down card, Call of the Haunted. This brings back my XYZ-Dragon Cannon (3000/2800), just as strong as ever." The huge machine monster then reemerged onto the field, showing it was ready for yet another round.

"Now I activate XYZ-Dragon Cannon's special effect. I can discard a card from my hand in order to blow away any card I wish on the field. So, I discard this card from my hand, blowing away your Luster Dragon #2!" The dragon took aim and let loose a powerful blast that annulated the weaker emerald colored dragon.

"XYZ-Dragon Cannon, direct attack Seto's life points with Light Cannon!" The tank monster took aim with all it's turrets then at Seto. It then released a powerful blast, sending all it's artillery flying at Seto, who was knocked to his knees by the attack. Slowly, Seto stood again, panting from the damage he'd received.

Keith only smirked at Seto's look on his face, and smugly said "I end my move." (Illidan 4000, Seto 1000, Keith 600)

Illidan then drew his card and smiled at what was happening. Slowly, he decided what his new strategy should be. "I'd better attack Seto, just so he doesn't have a chance to summon Obelisk the Tormentor. That would be hard to fight off, along with Keith's tin cans."

He took the one card he had drawn and stuck it in the magic/trap card slot, saying "I set one card face down. Thunder Nyan Nyan, attack Seto's life points directly with Drum Basher!" The female monster quickly flew across the field and prepared to strike Seto with her drumsticks.

She was nearly to Seto when Seto smirked and said "I activate my Deck Master's second special ability. You see, it allows me to draw one card from my deck. If it's a light attribute monster, I get to special summon it to the field. Of course, if it isn't, it goes to the Graveyard. By the way, it doesn't matter what level the monster is either. It's still special summoned to the field. Now, I draw."

Seto drew and then looked at the card and began to laugh evilly. He then showed the card to Illidan and Keith.

Illidan gasped, saying "Not that card!"

Seto only continued to laugh, saying "I drew my Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)! Now rise up my powerful beast!" The large white metallic dragon then rose up onto the field, letting out it's horrible roar to strike fear into all that dared to oppose it.

Still smirking, Seto finally said "Of course Illidan, your attack was stopped the moment I special summoned Blue-Eyes, so you can make the choice of what to do. Continue on your suicide run, or quit while you're ahead."

Growling silently, Illidan knew he couldn't beat the dragon, so he said "That ends my move." (Illidan 4000, Seto 1000, Keith 600)
