Hello once more. Thanks for all the comments guys. I appreciate it so much, and helps encourage me with my writing. The last two days have gone well at work, thankfully. My poor fiancé, she went to take her driver's test yesterday, but the pain in the ass that took her got her so nervous that she failed out at the parallel parking. Then to top it off, the ass made her drive home while she was upset. Sighs I wish I could take her, but due that I work till 5, it's kind of hard. Anyways, enough complaints about life, time to get to some fun reviews.

Tomb Robber Vicky: Lol, thanks. I tried hard to make the duels entertaining, not to mention somewhat real. Yeah, the two are related through marriage, so it's pretty cool. Originally, I thought about not having them related, but then when my fiancé wrote some of the history for my story, she kind of made Marie and Illidan family, and I liked the idea, so I kept it. The ten way duel will be good. It'll be coming up, sometime, lol.

Divine Weapon: Lol, it's alright. Thanks for the comment about the duel. I tried hard to make it exciting, and to make it appear as good as possible. And no prob about reading your story. It's entertaining, which is good.

Brianna Ishtar: Yeah, he his. He's trapped between two idiots who hate him, but whom hate one another just as much, if not more, lol. Sniffle Is it so bad that he battles the Pharaoh, lol. Sees a trench coat on fire. There it is Brianna. I think Ryou set it on fire.

thehyperactivecow: Yeah, they're so concerned that one or the other will win that they totally forgot about Illidan. But that'll change, more than likely.

Metal Overlord 2.0: Of course, you can't have Seto without some Blue-Eyes White Dragon out, lol. And this is their last chance, other than one other, maybe another, to get a shot at the titles. After all, they lost the right to fight him on the tenth day of dueling, so they have to take any and all shots they got for now.

Isis the Sphinx: Yep, he's got three out of four pieces. Smacks Seto in the back of the head. But yeah, my story and the show's plot have major conflicts. When I started, I knew it'd change it some, but I never expected the end of the show to really make it that much more difficult. I'm currently setting up my own end of the show in my head, so that I'll have something to work with on my final story, hopefully. And thanks for ignoring them, hehe.

Well, that's all the reviews. Wow, there are more and more each time I write these up, and I'm so happy there is. I hope everyone continues to review. It makes me happy to see them, and I'm ever so glad to post a reply to each. Well, at any rate, till next time, farewell.

Chapter 71

Seto drew his next card and smirked, saying with a taunt in his voice "Now it's time I showed the two of you what a true duelist is like. I first play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards from my deck. Next I summon Lord of Dragons (1200/1100) in defense mode." A mage robed in a cape with dragon like armor appeared on the field in a defensive position.

"Now I play the magic card The Flute of Summoning Dragon, which allows me to special summon up to two dragons from my hand." A large golden flute like object shaped like a dragons head then appeared above the mage. He grabbed hold of it and then played the flute.

"And the two dragons I summon are two more Blue-Eyes White Dragons (3000/2500)!" Two more powerful white metallic dragons appeared on the field, roaring at both Illidan and Keith.

Illidan only cringed at the sight of these dragons. "Not good. Now Seto has three Blue-Eyes. If that last card in his hand is Polymerization, then he'll be almost unstoppable."

Seto let a soft smirk play off his face as he said "Finally, I play the magic card Dragon's Treasure, which equips to one of my Blue-Eyes. This gives my Blue-Eyes 300 additional attack and defense points (3300/2800). Blue-Eyes White Dragon, destroy Keith's scrap heap of a dragon with White Lightning!" The dragon with extra power then roared and fired its powerful stream of white energy at the large tank monster. The tank tried hard to fight off the blast, but finally was blown away from the force of the attack from the white dragon.

"I'm not done with you yet Keith. Time to finish off the rest of your life points. Blue-Eyes White Dragon, direct attack Keith's life points with White Lightning!" Another of the white dragons then roared and powered up. As the blast was about to fly across the field, Keith only snickered.

Seto raised an eyebrow, asking "What's so funny Keith? Is losing that funny?"

Keith only snickered again, saying "I'm laughing because you're so dense rich boy. I activate my Deck Master's third special ability. This allows me to special summon any machine monster from my hand to the field, at a cost of two cards from the top of my deck. Those two cards are automatically sent to the Graveyard. Now, I send two cards from the top of my deck to the Graveyard and special summon Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast (2800/2000) in attack mode!" A powerful metal dragon with tank tracks and a long metallic tail then appeared on the field with a roar. It then directed it's roar straight at the white metallic dragons.

Growling, Seto said "You're little tin can can't stop my dragon…"

Keith then interrupted, saying "That's where you're wrong rich boy. Remember my Deck Master also gives Fusilier Dragon an additional 200 points (3000/2200). That makes our monsters even." The red and blue machine monster then turned towards the machine dragon and let a laser fire from it's eyes, instantly increasing the machine dragon's strength.

Seto only growled again while Keith taunted with "So, what now rich boy?"

Sighing, Seto finally said "I have to end my move." (Illidan 4000, Seto 1000, Keith 300)

"Seto got forced to back down. Keith isn't doing too bad this duel." Illidan thought inwardly.

Keith only smirked at Seto as he drew, and said "I figured you would back down rich boy. Now, watch as I prepare to destroy you and Illidan. It starts with this magic card, Card of Sanctity. This allows us all three to draw till we hold six cards in our hands."

Illidan then drew his cards. He had drawn his Alpha the Magnet Warrior, Pot of Greed, and Kuriboh.

Keith only smirked at his cards, and gave off a snicker. "It's over for you two this turn. I'm going to wipe you both out. I first activate my Deck Master's second special ability. This allows me to remove the number of monsters from my Graveyard that it would take to tribute a monster. So, I remove Gadget Soldier and Mechanical Chaser from my Graveyard…"

"Wait a minute! How did Mechanical Chaser get into your Graveyard Keith?" asked an irritated Seto.

With a smirk on his face, Keith explained. "Remember when I used my Deck Master last turn? Well, I had to send to cards from the top of my deck to the Graveyard, and one card happened to be Mechanical Chaser. Now, continuing on, I remove both to special summon my ultimate monster, Perfect Machine King (2700/1500) in attack mode!" A huge red and white robot with some green then appeared on the field. On it's body, it sported many missiles and other heavy artillery.

"Next my Deck Master gives him 200 more points (2900/1700)!" The red and blue machine monster's eyes glowed and fired a laser from them. They struck the red and white machine monster, making it's eyes slightly glow as it's power increased.

"Now my Perfect Machine King's special ability kicks in. Since Fusilier is a machine monster, his attack points now increase by 500 (3400/1500)." Again, the red and white machine monster's eyes glowed as his points rose.

"I next play the magic card Polymerization, allowing me to fuse my Barrel Dragon and Blowback Dragon from my hand, forming Gatling Dragon (2600/1200)!" A powerful machine like dragon appeared on the field. It had gatling gun arms with a gatling gun on its head and rather large wheels for legs. It roared over at the direction of Illidan and Seto.

"My Deck Master next strengthens his points by 200 (2800/1400)." Seeing it's new comrade on the field, the red and blue machine monster fired it's laser eyes at the gatling gun monster, increasing it's strength even more.

"Now my Perfect Machine King's special effect kicks in. Whenever another machine monster is on the field, he gains another 500 attack points (3900/1500). But I'm far from done with you two. Now I summon Heavy Mech Support Platform (500/500) in attack mode." A grey, red, and white spaceship/platform type of monster appeared on the field.

"I now use its special effect. I can now equip it to my Perfect Machine King, making him gain another 500 attack points (4400/1500)!" The huge platform then separated and attached itself to the red and white machine monster, making itself into a suit of armor in essence.

Illidan watched carefully, and realized quickly one thing. "Seto may lose this turn. I hope not, but he may."

"For my next move, I'll move my Machine King into play (2200/2000)." Slowly, the red and blue machine monster glided from his Deck Master position to the field, taking it's place beside it's fellow machine monsters.

"He now gains 300 additional attack points due that there is three machine monsters now on the field (2500/2000). Also, he gains 200 additional points due to his Deck Master ability (2700/2200). Next, Perfect Machine King gains 500 more attack points since Machine King is out (4900/1500). Now for the final card of your two's destruction. I play the magic card Limiter Removal, which doubles all machine type monsters attack points. That means Perfect Machine King, Machine King, Gatling Dragon, and Fusilier Dragon have become twice as powerful (9800/1500) (5400/2000) (5600/1200) (6000/2000)!" Each of the machine monsters then glowed with power as each of their attack points doubled, making them seem like an invincible army.

In shock, Illidan could only think "No way! He has three of the most powerful machines prepped to destroy us now. But I've got a little surprise for him if he attacks me."

Keith only smirked with pride at his monsters, and then pointed at Seto, yelling "And now, it's time to destroy you both. Machine King, use your Rocket Punch to destroy Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" The red and blue machine monster pointed a fist at one of the white metallic dragons and it shot out in a flash. The arm flew so fast that if anyone had blinked they would have missed the arm's flight path. The white dragon was instantly struck, making it roar in pain as it exploded into millions of pieces. With it's destructions, Seto's life points dropped to zero.

Seto could only scream "NOOO!" He then fell to his knees in shock and horror. His Duel Disk powered down, showing tell tale signs that he'd lost.

He only sat there on his knees, in complete shock, saying "How could this happen!"

Keith only snickered, yelling "Who's the loser now rich boy? You just lost to me, the so called loser you disliked and hated. Well, it looks like you're a loser now, muwhahaha!"

Then Keith turned towards Illidan and smirked. He raised his hand toward Illidan then, and pointed a finger directly at Illidan, saying "You're going down too. Watch this! Perfect Machine King, attack Illidan's Thunder Nyan Nyan with Missile Decimation!" The red and white machine monster took aim and fired a flurry of missiles aimed at the red headed female monster.

As the rockets neared, Keith screamed out "I WIN!"

Illidan only laughed, saying "I don't think so Keith. Watch as I reveal my face down trap card known as Magic Cylinder, which redirects your attack right back at your own life points!" Suddenly, two pink and yellow cylinders appeared in front of the red headed female monster. The missiles went in one cylinder and then came flying back out the other directly at Keith.

All Keith could do was scream "NO WAY!" Keith didn't have time to say anything else, for then he was hit head on by all the missiles his monster had just fired. The blast was so intense it knocked him backwards about ten feet. His life points then dropped to zero and his Duel Disk powered down, showing his loss.

Illidan's own Duel Disk then powered down, showing him as the last man standing, literally.

The judge quickly cleared his throat, saying "Illidan Stormrage is the winner!" He then walked over to Illidan, handing both titles back to Illidan. The crowd then ran out from the stands to congratulate Illidan.

Looking over at Mokuba who was with his brother Seto, Illidan decided to offer a hand to Seto.

When seeing the offer, Seto knocked it away and slowly stood with difficulty, saying with a grumble in his voice "I don't need your help." Seto then walked off in a huff, but had a noticeable limp from the final attack he had received.

All Illidan could do was shrug. He then went over to Keith, extending his hand like he had done for Seto, but like Seto, Keith showed his attitude.

"Get away!" he screamed. With great difficulty, he stood and limped off the field.

Illidan only sighed, thinking "Try to be friendly and they get mad yet again. They're loss I guess."

Smiling, Illidan returned to the others to celebrate his victory.

Elsewhere in the tower, Gozaburo only clapped his hands, saying in a mocking tone "Bravo Illidan. As I expected, you performed rather well. Just as I thought would happen, those two ninnies basically defeated one another, allowing you to win. Soon though, you will fall, and I will rise to the top, and rule this world!"
