Hello once more everyone. Glad everyone liked the last chapter with Keith getting knocked out early. Lol, even with the power of Gozaburo, he failed to once more take Illidan out, and managed to knock himself out of the duel. Gotta give props to Seto though, for he saved Illidan. Hears the gasps. I know, I thought it would shock everyone too, lol. At any rate, time for reviews.
CWATZ: Lol, yeah, he got knocked out first. There are about four or five more parts to this duel, I believe.
Metal Overlord 2.0: I think at the time that monster wasn't out. Yeah, the multiple Trap Jammers worked out quite well. It was like, is Illidan going to lose? Then bam, Seto stepped in, lol. It's all good about the computer thing. I know the feeling from time to time.
Isis the Sphinx: Hands Gozaburo's head to her. It pops off, lol. Nah, I don't watch Stargate Atlantis. Puts on the straight jacket. Now you're restrained. Hmm, restrained could be… Smacked in the back of the head once more by Cindy. Never mind, lol. Btw, ignore my perverted comments. There is nothing behind them, they're just comments or quick jokes off the top of my head. Lol, my second job, which isn't really a job, yes, is working on my grandfather's and father's farm. I do a good bit of brainstorming and writing in my mind while out working usually, so it's fun.
Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks, and hopefully the end result will please everyone. Lol, and yes, Keith lost every time for a reason. He's an ego maniac with an intelligence problem, lol. I'm not sure though about Obelisk's effect. Besides, that would pretty much end the duel, and I wanted to drag it out a bit. Again, as I said before too, I wasn't too sure on the effect. When Obelisk uses it's infinite power, sometimes it destroyed all monsters on the field too, and others it just attacked a monster with the infinite power. It's odd how that card is so confusing. Slifer is easy to figure out, and Ra isn't too bad, but Obelisk is just complex, lol. I believe there are about 4-5 more chapters to this duel, but I could be wrong. I have to look, lol.
Tomb Robber Vicky: Lol, yes, big surprise. Yep, he's tough, but a loser nonetheless. Lol, yes, stop the presses, for Seto has amazed the world!
Strawberry Cake: Lol, yes, slightly confusing. The duel was so complex, and was hard to keep track of. Trust me, it took me a good bit of time to write it all down and make sure who had what and when. Rolls eyes at the fact there is another crazy girl chasing after Ryou. Watch out for those two. They may kill to protect Ryou, lol.
Brianna Ishtar: … Watches Ryou standing over Brianna in corner with evil grin. This should be fun.
pink-kiss-candy: Yeah, at the moment she is losing. She may find a way though. She's stronger than most people think, especially Gozaburo. … What is it with you silly girls and chap? Ryou: "I'm thinking of abandoning the English language, that way girls won't dig me when I say chap." Good plan Ryou, although they'll just love you for saying something else. Watches Marik running away. Marik: "Damn crazy fan girls! Leave me be!"
Well, that was fun, lol. Btw, just so everyone knows, if I make a comment where I say Cindy smacks me for, know that I'm not serious about that comment. Lol, I just don't want people to get the idea that I'm a pervert that needs help like Miroku. Sorry, I just don't have a wind tunnel in my hand, lol. Although, Cindy does call me Miroku at times. Sighs But seriously, there is nothing serious behind my comments. Hell, half my comments are not serious when I start making up that stuff. So, don't worry if I make a comment and then get smacked (if she was really here, I would get smacked, lol).
Anyways, there are more chapters yet to come, so everyone enjoy this chapter. I'll try to have it up again tomorrow as usual. Till then, enjoy.
Chapter 110
Illidan growled in frustration. He had thought Marie would break free this time, but he was wrong. Now he had to deal with her again, which was the last thing he wanted.
Looking at Marie, he said "Come on Marie, break free! I know you can! You have to keep trying!"
She heard his words, but was so weak. Suddenly, she realized what could happen if she didn't. She could be pitted against him in this duel if it continued on like it was. If that happened, she doubted that Illidan could do what he knew he had to do. He would never try to take her out unless he absolutely had to, and even then, she doubted he could.
"I won't give up on you Marie! Now thanks to my Deck Master, Dark Magician of Chaos can attack again. Dark Magician of Chaos, attack Marik directly with Chaos Scepter Blast!" The mage powered up again and fired another blast of dark energy at Marik.
Again, the inner struggle started with Marie. Gozaburo ordered her to defend Marik, but she refused.
"NO! I refuse to help anymore! Get out of my mind once and for all!" she screamed mentally. With that, she began to fight the darkness again. The light within her began to grow, pushing the darkness back. Still, the darkness tried to envelope her. With all her might, she screamed "NO! I love him too much to let you control me!"
Then it happened again. Like before, something snapped and her power grew stronger.
In his throne, Gozaburo screamed out "NO! NOT AGAIN!" A powerful wave of energy then formed within Marie's mind, pushing Gozaburo out of it. The energy was so incredible that Illidan and Yami looked up as they felt Marie using it.
Suddenly, the blast washed back against Gozaburo, causing his control on everyone to slip. This was enough for Marik and Bakura to awaken again. Once they realized what was going on, they began to pour out their own powers, throwing yet another huge feedback wave into Gozaburo. The effect caused the other three under his control to awaken as well. All three then threw off their shackles of control again, sending even more feedback energy at Gozaburo. In essence, Marie had caused a huge cascading effect by breaking free. Now everyone that Gozaburo controlled was free.
Marik realized that a huge blast of energy was heading for him and took up a defensive stance. The blast forced him back, but didn't knock him down. His life points dropped to 0. He smiled as his counter hit 0.
"Thank you Marie. You set us all free! I'll never forget this!" Then suddenly, his body began to disappear. The only thing left was his Winged Dragon of Ra card.
Marie looked up to where Marik once stood, crying out "NO! Marik, where did you go!" Her answer came quickly though.
Up on the wall, Marik reappeared. He smiled at Marie, saying "Don't worry, I'm fine. Now, go out there and try and save the world." She smiled and nodded.
She then looked over at Illidan, who was nearly in tears. These were tears of happiness though, for he was so glad she had broken free.
"Well done Marie, well done." he simply said. She nodded and quickly realized the duel was still going on. Now it was back down to an 8-way duel. That meant they still had time to finish before Gozaburo could try to interfere again.
Illidan then quickly said "I end my turn. Your move Yami." (Illidan 4000, Yami 4000, Marie 2500, Joey 4000, Marik 0, Noa 4000, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 4000, Keith 0)
Yami didn't waste any time. He quickly drew and smiled. "Now I activate my trap card known as Ultimate Offering. This trap allows me to give up 500 life points per an extra summoning or set. Now I give up 500 life points to summon King's Knight (1600/1400) in attack mode." A knight robed in red with a shield and sword appeared.
"This allows me to special summon Jack's Knight (1900/1000) to the field in attack mode." A third knight then appeared. This one was younger, but still had great power.
"Now I sacrifice all three in order to summon my Egyptian God, Slifer the Sky Dragon (2000/2000)!" All three knights then disappeared. Suddenly, the huge red dragon then appeared. It rapped its large body around the tower as it appeared in the duel. It roared down at the entire field, for no one was safe now.
"Of course, my dragon is semi weak, but that shall change now. I reveal my face down trap known as Jar of Greed, allowing me to draw 1 new card. Next I shall play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw 2 new cards, meaning Slifer has a total of 4000 points (4000/4000). Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack Noa's Big Shield Guardna with Thunder Force!" The powerful dragon opened its huge mouth and fired a blast at the powerful defense monster.
As the blast neared, Noa smirked. "I think not Yugi, for I reveal my trap, Spellbinding Circle! This shall stop your dragon's attack and force it to not be able to attack or switch modes!" A huge golden circle then encircled Slifer. The blast was then forced away, saving Noa's monster for the turn.
"Very well Noa. I end my move." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3500, Marie 2500, Joey 4000, Marik 0, Noa 4000, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 4000, Keith 0)
Once Yami had ended, the circle surrounding Slifer disappeared.
"What happened to my circle?" asked Noa in a slightly panicked voice.
Yami laughed and replied with "Trap and magic cards only effect God Cards for one turn. That means your trap lost its power over my card."
Noa nodded, still surprised at the fact Slifer had broken free.
Now Marie quickly drew her card. She then said "I sacrifice my 2 remaining Mystical Shine Ball's in order to summon Tyrant Dragon (2900/2500) in attack mode!" Both balls disappeared and a powerful dragon appeared in their place. It was orange and had huge wings.
Yami chuckled, saying "You've triggered Slifer's special ability. Now Slifer, wipe out 2000 of Tyrant Dragon's attack points!" Slifer opened its second mouth and fired a blast.
The blast neared and Marie smiled. "I don't think so. I reveal my magic card known as Card Guard, which will defend my new monster from your attack. I just have to discard one card from my hand, so I discard my Winged Kuriboh to activate it." A huge shield then appeared on the field and absorbed the blast from Slifer.
"Now Tyrant Dragon, attack Noa's Big Shield Guardna with Tyrant Flame!" The powerful dragon roared and blasted the powerful warrior. The shield on the warrior easily broke from the intense flames of the dragon.
"That ends my move." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3500, Marie 2500, Joey 4000, Marik 0, Noa 4000, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 4000, Keith 0)
Joey then drew his card and smiled. "I summon Goblin Attack Force (2300/0) in attack mode!" A group of goblins in golden helmets appeared. Each carried a bone club in one hand.
"Joey, you just triggered Slifer's special effect! Now Slifer, drain his monster of 2000 attack points!" bellowed Yami. Slifer spat a ball of energy from its second mouth at the goblins. They were easily drained of 2000 points.
"That's alright Yug. I knew they'd have that happen, and it's all part of my plan. Now it's time for an attack, and I know the perfect target. Alligator's Sword Dragon, attack Noa's life points directly with Dragon Sword Slash!" The team of a gator and dragon took to the sky and struck Noa directly, causing him to slide back slightly.
"I'm not done yet. Goblin Attack Force, direct attack his life points now with Goblin Bash!" The wounded goblins quickly ran over and beat Noa on the head with their clubs. This sight was rather humorous, for it actually tickled Noa. Once done, they retreated back to Joey's side of the field and took a seat.
"Of course, after they attack, their effect kicks in. It forces my monster to defense mode. But I'm not done yet. Now I sacrifice my Goblin Attack Force to Panther Warrior, enabling him to attack. Panther Warrior, attack Noa directly with Panther Slash!" The mighty panther then leaped across the field and slashed Noa, instantly dropping him to 0 life points. Noa bowed his head, knowing he'd lost.
"Oh well, good game guys. And thanks for freeing me Marie!" He then waved good bye as he slowly disappeared. Once he was finally gone, the only thing left was his Yamata Dragon card. Slowly after a moment, he reappeared on the wall. He was fine, but sad he'd lost.
Joey then said "I end my turn." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3500, Marie 2500, Joey 4000, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 4000, Keith 0)
This left only seven people to duel it out to find out who was the best.
Bakura then smiled and drew his card. "I'll summon my Sangan (1000/600) in defense mode and end my move." A creature that looked like a ball of orange fur then appeared out to defend Bakura. (Illidan 4000, Yami 3500, Marie 2500, Joey 4000, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 4000, Keith 0)
Everyone nodded and prepared for the worst since it was Seto's turn. With laughter in his voice, Seto said "Stand back you geeks. Watch as I sacrifice my three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in order to summon a monster with ultimate strength! I summon Obelisk the Tormentor (4000/4000)!" Suddenly, all three dragons disappeared and a huge blue creature appeared in their place. This was the Egyptian God Seto controlled, and it had the ability to use infinite power.
Suddenly, Yami interrupted Seto's laughter, saying "Sorry Seto, but I hate to disappoint you, but your Egyptian God is only half as strong as he really is."
Seto glared at Yami angrily, saying "Explain!"
Yami only simply pointed at Slifer, who was opening his second mouth. Seto was speechless as he saw the blast come flying out of Slifer's second mouth. The blast hit Obelisk, causing the so called all powerful God Card to lose half it's strength (2000/4000).
Growling, Seto then angrily said "It's not over yet Yugi! Watch as I sacrifice both my monsters to Obelisk, increasing his power to infinite!" Obelisk grabbed both monsters and absorbed them. His power started increasing. As his attack points rose, his skin changed from blue to red. Finally, his attack points hit infinite, showing the true power of this Egyptian God.
"Now Obelisk the Tormentor, wipe out Slifer the Sky Dragon with Fist of Fate! It's all over Yugi!" screamed Seto, who began a chorus of laughter. Obelisk then sent a huge blast of energy from each fist at Slifer. Slifer was about to be hit head on when suddenly a cloud of Kuriboh's popped up.
Seto stopped laughing, realizing his monster's attack was now pointless. "NOOOOO!" he screamed.
Once the smoke cleared, Slifer was gone, but Yami's life points weren't. Yami smiled at Seto who was so furious he could hardly see straight.
He finally stopped growling and said "I end my move." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3500, Marie 2500, Joey 4000, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 4000, Keith 0)
Mai drew and sighed. "I summon Harpie Lady 1 (1300/1400) in attack mode." A new Harpie then appeared on the field. This one looked nearly like Cyber Harpie Lady, but wasn't quite.
"Now thanks to her effect, all Wind attribute monsters gain 300 additional attack points. That means both my Harpies get 300 attack points, as well as Joey's dragon (2700/1300) (1600/1400) (2000/1500)." Each monster glowed slightly with its new power increase.
"Now Cyber Harpie Lady, attack Joey's Panther Warrior with Cyber Slash!" Cyber Harpie Lady took to the air and kicked the warrior, easily tearing him apart. Mai then looked at the field.
After a moment of thinking, she finally said "Now Harpie Lady 1, attack Bakura's Sangan with Harpie Slash!" Harpie Lady 1 then took to the air and prepared to slash the small creature.
Bakura only smiled as the ball of fur was destroyed. "Thanks to your attack Mai, I can now add one monster with 1500 or less attack points from my deck to my hand. I choose my Headless Knight."
Mai nodded and then said "I end my turn." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3500, Marie 2500, Joey 3300, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 4000, Keith 0)
Illidan quickly drew, knowing they couldn't keep this up for too much longer. Sooner or later, Gozaburo would free himself of the huge feedback he'd receive, and then they'd be a lot to pay for.
He drew his Luster Dragon and knew what he had to do. "I summon Luster Dragon (1900/1600) in attack mode." The mighty sapphire dragon then appeared and roared at the field, trying to make itself seem stronger than it appeared.
"Now thanks to Mai's Harpie Lady 1, my dragon gains 300 attack points (2200/1600)." The dragon now roared as it grew stronger.
"Luster Dragon, attack Harpie Lady 1 with Ruby Blaster!" The mighty dragon then took to the air and spat a ball of ruby energy at the weaker Harpie. She was easily taken down by the blast.
"Of course, this weakens our three monsters (1900/1600) (2400/1300) (1700/1500) but it's a small price to pay. Now Dark Magician of Chaos, attack Mai's Cyber Harpie Lady with Chaos Slice!" The mage then brought his staff up and made a downward like cut. An energy blade fired from the cut and it quickly crossed the field, instantly slicing Cyber Harpie Lady in half.
"Time to invoke my Deck Master's special ability. Dark Magician of Chaos, attack Mai directly with Chaos Scepter Blast!" The powerful mage then twirled his staff and fired a huge blast of dark energy at Mai. The blast hit her, easily lowering her score to 0.
When the smoke cleared, she appeared fine. She smiled, saying "Remember, it's not over. Go kick that jerk's evil butt." Then she started to disappear. As before, the only thing left was her Cyber Harpie Lady card. Soon enough, she appeared on the wall with the others though.
Illidan sighed and said "I end my turn." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3500, Marie 2500, Joey 3300, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 0, Keith 0)
