Yawns Hello everyone… I'm tired… Physically, in case you all are wondering. Yesterday evening, I got off work to get home to find out no one was coming to buy some of our hay from the field, so we had to put 300 bails of hay in the barn… Now, mind you, it wouldn't be too bad, but it was eight or 8:30 when we finished loading and pulling the hay up to the barn. We finally got one trailer unloaded by 9:30, and proceeded up to the other barn due that the previous barn was full. So, we get there, and my dad, plus step brother, are really slowing down the process. Dad was weak due to being out in the sun too long I think, plus he hadn't eaten all day. Step brother… he was just purposely taking it easy I believe. So, that left me running at semi full strength, having to deal with them. About 10 or so, I just told my dad, let's just throw a tarp over the trailer (it's open btw, so no kind of cover on it) and let it go for the night due that we all needed to get home. Nope, that isn't good enough. So finally, about 10:40, we finished unloading the crap… I was exhausted, but that wasn't the end. Oh no, we had to go get our tractors from the fields still and put them up. That wasn't too hard, but damn, I was tired. At any rate, time it was all said and done, it was already after 11 when we got home. Then I had to wait for my shower, plus I had to call Cindy (I called her first and talked for a few minutes. She had work too, but has to get up earlier than me). It was after midnight sometime when I got to bed. Ah, last thing is, due that we had such a long evening, I didn't get my hair trimmed up for my interview tonight, so things are just wonderful… Actually, I could careless about my hair, lol. It's just the principle of the hay taking more precedence than other things in life. Sigh
Ok, enough rambling about my train wrecked life. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the last chapter, although I'm rather unsure what happened in some of the reviews. I see people reviewing 93 and 83, and then yesterday was 8. Shrugs Oh well, at least I know most reviews pertain to 110, I hope, lol. Anyways, time to answer some reviews.
Tomb Robber Vicky: Yep, she broke free at last. Very true about Gozaburo. Who knows who is next with him angry, but doubtful he'll mess with any of the four that fought against him, but again, you never know.
Isis the Sphinx: Yep, they fell out fast. As for the # of chapters left, I was including the last one, so 3 left, including this one. Thanks for the congrats.
CWATZ: Lol, yeah, he broke the deal at long last. He mostly done it due that their agreement was over pretty much though. The deal was to free everyone, then go at it, so he's done just that. But yeah, he might get his butt handed to him soon.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Yeah, she's free once more. Indeed, it truly begins now. Alright, I will, soon as I get a chance… As you saw above, that's about how much time I have left in the evening when I get home. I just have an hour at home in the morning, which is kind of dedicated to answering reviews. Grumbles due to the stack of stories I've yet to read. I WANT TO READ! Lol, just need the time to read. Btw, good idea with Ryou. Pulls out a second axe. Let's hurry it up before they all faint, hehe.
Ultimate Legendary Master: Very true, the duel can change rapidly. That's if and when Gozaburo gets up. He just got slammed by five or six people's mental feedback, so he's probably a bit out of it for the moment. Yeah, it's much more exciting to watch them under their own power duel.
Fire Princess: Welcome and thanks. I didn't know it was that popular, lol. And don't worry about it. I can tell what G'day and mate is, so don't worry about it. Lol, I'm a York! Actually, I'd be from the middle of nowhere, which is West Virginia, aka, the official middle of nowhere of the U.S. I hope you continue reading and enjoy my story.
Strawberry Cake: No problem. I tend to not review from time to time on some people's stories, although I do need to remember people love comments, lol. I don't blame you though. Go live life, for I wouldn't want or expect anyone to live for my story. Lol, but roleplaying and so on isn't so dorky.
Brianna Ishtar: Yes, he's very evil. Lol, yes, enjoy life. Go find the real life Ryou so you can hold and cuddle him. Fears for any man that looks like Ryou now.
pink-kiss-candy: Indeed, just six now. Raises eyebrow. Watches Ryou slip the therapist a fifty and whispers "Declare her insane and put her in that straight jacket." Therapist: "YOU'RE INSANE! Put her in the jacket!" Watches the fight and Ryou laughing evilly as pink-kiss-candy is put in her jacket and drug away. Well, that was entertaining, lol.
That's all for this morning. Maybe tonight won't be as bad due that we have no more hay, plus I have an interview, so joy. Hopes for job. If it's better than the one I have, it has benefits (insurance, better pay, and a possible retirement one day) and they offer me a position, hell yes I'll take it! But anyways, I need to go this morning, so enjoy the chapter. The other two will be out tomorrow and Saturday, unless I post again Friday night due that I won't have time Saturday morning before I go see Cindy. Gets starry eyed at the thought of seeing Cindy. Later all.
Chapter 111
Yami drew his card and smiled. "I activate my Ultimate Offering card. Now I pay 500 life points in order to summon Gazelle the King of Mystical Beasts (1500/1200)." A lion like creature then appeared on the field. It roared and looked onward.
"Next I sacrifice Gazelle in order to summon Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700) in attack mode." The lion like creature then disappeared and a girl dressed as a magician's assistant appeared. She twirled her wand around and then stood posing and gave a small wink.
"Now thanks to my Deck Master, Dark Magician Girl gains 500 additional attack points (2500/1700)." The powerful Dark Magician then pointed his staff at the young girl. She was instantly blasted by a beam of powerful magic, which enhanced her own powers. Now she seemed quite a bit more capable of performing any task.
"Now I set one card face down. Joey, I'm sorry, but in order to win this tournament, I have to beat you." Joey nodded, knowing his friend didn't want to really attack him, but he had to in order to win this duel.
"Dark Magician Girl, attack Joey's Alligator's Sword Dragon with Burning Magic Attack!" The powerful magician then fired a huge blast of energy at the gator-dragon combo. The blast easily blew the monster up.
"That ends my move." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3000, Marie 2500, Joey 2700, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Marie drew and said "I summon Shining Friendship (1300/1100) in defense mode." A green little ball like creature with wings then appeared. Illidan smiled, realizing this is what helped free Marie's mind.
"Now Tyrant Dragon, attack Joey directly with Tyrant Flame!" The mighty dragon then let loose it's powerful flame, instantly knocking Joey to 0.
He smiled at Marie, and silently said "Thanks." Then he began to disappear. Only his Red-Eyes Black Dragon card remained where he was standing. Soon enough though, he reappeared on the wall. He smiled down at the remaining duelists and said "Good luck guys."
Marie then said "I end my turn." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3000, Marie 2500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Now a 10-way duel had turned into a 5-way duel. Illidan, Bakura, and Seto still had all their life points, but life points aren't all that matters.
Bakura then drew his card and smiled. "I sacrifice my face down Winged Minion for a monster in defense mode. Next, I'll reveal my trap card known as Destiny Board." A huge widgi board then appeared on the field.
"As you all know, I can now add one piece of my Destiny Board to my field at the end of all your guy's turns. And the first letter is F." The widgi board then moved to the letter F, and a flaming F then appeared on the field.
"Now I'll end my…"
Before he could say turn, Seto interrupted, saying "Hold on Bakura. I activate my Deck Master's second special ability. Now I can draw one card from my deck. And I've drawn Kaibaman (200/700), which I'll special summon in defense mode." A monster then appeared on the field. It looked nearly human. He wore a red, white, and black type of armor. He had long red hair, which helped accent the armor even more.
"Now continue Bakura, if you don't mind so I can finish you off."
Bakura smiled and said "I end my turn." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3000, Marie 2500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Seto then drew and looked at his card. He then laughed and said "I now summon Battle Ox (1700/1000) in attack mode." An ox like creature then appeared on the field. It carried a huge axe like sword and had a red helmet with red armor as well.
"Now, watch as I sacrifice both monsters to Obelisk the Tormentor! Now Obelisk, activate your infinite strength in order to crush Bakura!" Obelisk grabbed both monsters as he had before and began to power up. Slowly, his strength started going up, thus he began changing colors. He roared as his strength finally became infinite.
"Now my Egyptian God, destroy all of Bakura's monsters!" Obelisk stretched out his hand which instantly crushed Bakura's face down monster.
Bakura showed no fear though.
"Finish him off with Fist of Fate!" commanded Seto. Obelisk then pushed both fists forward and fired his powerful blasts. The blasts headed straight for Bakura, but yet Bakura didn't seem worried. As the blast neared, Bakura laughed and discarded something. That something soon became apparent as a wall of Kuriboh's appeared.
"NOOOO!" howled Seto in anger. The wall of Kuriboh's instantly stopped the blast, thus ending the barrage of Obelisk. The smoke cleared and Bakura was left smiling.
Seto grumbled, and finally said "I end my …"
Before he could finish, Bakura interrupted. "Sorry Seto, but since you're ending your move, I get to add a piece of my Destiny Board to the field. And I add the magic card known as Spirit Message I from my deck to the field." The widgi board then selected the letter I, and a flaming I then appeared beside F.
"That shall do it for now."
Seto continued to grumble and said "I end my move." (Illidan 4000, Yami 3000, Marie 2500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Illidan drew his card and smiled. It was his Harpie's Feather Duster. "I activate Harpie's Feather Duster, which will wipe out your magic and trap cards Bakura!" A huge wind then blew towards Bakura's field, but Bakura only chuckled.
"So you think Illidan. I reveal my trap, Magic Jammer. Now I discard one card, my Headless Knight, and negate the magic card you used." Illidan growled as his magic card was rendered useless.
"Luster Dragon, attack his life points directly with Ruby Blaster!" The mighty dragon powered up and opened it's mouth. It spat a blast of ruby energy.
Once near, Bakura smiled and said "Not so fast. I reveal my trap card known as Call of the Haunted. Now I can resurrect one monster I sent to my Graveyard to the field in attack mode. And I choose my Labyrinth Wall (0/3000)!" A huge walled monster then appeared. It was like a huge maze monster.
"So what? It has 0 attack points. Now Luster Dragon, attack Labyrinth Wall with Ruby Blaster!" The mighty dragon then fired another blast of ruby energy. As the blast neared, Bakura smiled again.
"I don't think so. I reveal my trap card known as Desert Sunlight!" Suddenly, Bakura's side of the field became blinding. When the light died, the Labyrinth Wall was now in defense mode.
"Huh?" asked Illidan, who was stupefied by what had happened.
"I'll explain. My Desert Sunlight forces all my monsters into defense mode. That means your attack is too weak for my defense." The blast of ruby energy basically gave out as it hit the powerful wall. Illidan then lost life points equal to the difference.
Growling, Illidan realized he had no choices left. "I end my…"
"Sorry to interrupt Illidan, but since you're ending your move, I get to add one more piece of Destiny Board. And this time, it's Spirit Message N." The widgi board then moved around till it found the letter N. Then a flaming N appeared beside F and I.
"That's all for me."
Illidan nodded to Bakura and said "I end my move then." (Illidan 2900, Yami 3000, Marie 2500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 4000, Seto 4000, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Yami then drew and realized they all only had 2 turns left till Bakura would win by default. He slowly drew his card and then smiled at what he had.
"I play Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying your Destiny Board trap!"
As the typhoon neared, Bakura shook his head and said "Not so fast Yugi. I reveal my trap known as Magic Drain. Now you must discard one magic card or I get to negate your magic card that's about to hit."
Yami looked at his hand and realized he had no magic cards. As bad as he hated to, he said "I have none to discard."
Bakura smiled and replied with "Then Mystical Space Typhoon is negated and I lose no life points." The typhoon then was easily destroyed. Yami growled slightly, but suddenly realized something.
"You can't activate the whole Destiny Board anyways Bakura. You still have one other card in play, meaning Destiny Board won't fully work for you."
Bakura knew Yami had caught on finally and sighed, saying "Yep, you figured me out." Yami smiled and then realized he had a job to do in order to finish Bakura. "I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600/1000) in attack mode." The maroon robed mage then appeared, swinging his sword and showing his shield.
"Now Breaker gains 300 attack points due that he gains one spell counter for being summoned (1900/1000). Next, I remove that spell counter in order to destroy your Call of the Haunted card, thus leaving you wide open for a direct attack!" Breaker then swung his sword and a blade of energy came out of it. It easily sliced Call of the Haunted in half, instantly destroying Labyrinth Wall.
"Now it's time to finish you off Bakura. Dark Magician Girl, direct attack his life points with Burning Magic Attack!" She then fired a ball of energy at Bakura directly.
Suddenly, Bakura had a glint of happiness in his eyes. "Thanks Yami, for you've just done what I needed you to do. Now I activate my Deck Master's special ability. I give up 500 life points in order to revive my Sangan (1000/600) in defense mode!" The little ball of fur then reappeared on the field, blocking Bakura's life points from Yami's monster.
"Fine, I redirect the attack at Sangan!" The blast easily crushed Sangan.
"Now I can add one monster to my hand with 1500 or less attack points from my deck, and I choose my Goblin King." responded Bakura to the attack.
Yami nodded and then said "Breaker the Magical Warrior, attack Bakura directly with Magical Sword Slash!" Breaker quickly approached Bakura, sword drawn, and was about to slash him when Bakura laughed again.
He then said " I activate my Deck Master's special ability again. Now I resurrect Sangan (1000/600) in defense mode." The ball of fur then reappeared, blocking Yami's assault.
"Fine, Breaker, rid the field of his Sangan!" Breaker slashed the ball of fur in half, easily clearing the way again.
"Now I add Kuriboh to my hand for Sangan's effect." announced Bakura.
Suddenly, it hit Yami what he'd done. He had helped Bakura in all actuality by destroying Call of the Haunted, and Bakura had known that.
Growling, Yami then said "I end…"
"Not quite yet Yami. I now draw one piece more of Destiny Board. And this time, it's Spirit Message A." The widgi board then found the letter A and a flaming A then appeared beside F, I, and N.
"That'll do it for me Yami." said a happy Bakura.
Yami nodded and said "I end my move." (Illidan 2900, Yami 3000, Marie 2500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 3000, Seto 4000, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Marie drew her card and knew it was up to her to stop Bakura. If she didn't, the duel would end. She didn't have any cards to destroy Destiny Board, but she did have a plan.
"I first move my Deck Master to the field. Now my Guardian Angel Joan (2800/2000) is in play." Slowly, the pink skinned angel moved out to take a position beside Tyrant Dragon and Shining Angel.
"Next I play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw 2 new cards." She quickly drew and smiled.
"Now I sacrifice my Shining Friendship in order to summon Airknight Parshath (1900/1400)!" An angel mixed in with a horse then appeared on the field. It held up a lance like sword and swung it into readiness.
"Next I activate this magic card. The magic card known as Big Bang Shot! I equip this card to none other than to my powerful Airknight Parshath! Now he gains an additional 400 attack points (2300/1400). Time for me to take you down Bakura! Airknight Parshath, attack Bakura's life points directly with Fairy Slash!" The mighty angel galloped across the field.
As it neared, Bakura smiled and said "I don't think so. I return my Sangan (1000/600) to defend me." The small ball of orange fur reappeared.
"Good, cause that's what I wanted. Now Airknight, use Fairy Slash on Sangan!" The mighty angel easily slashed the ball of fur in half, easily destroying it. Suddenly then, Bakura's life points dropped by 1700 points.
"WHAT?" exclaimed Bakura.
Marie only laughed at his shock. "Surprised? You shouldn't be, seeing how you should have known my Airknight's special effect. Even when your monster is in defense mode, it still does damage to your life points. That means you just lost a chunk of points easily due to your miscalculation."
"Fine then, but now I get to add one monster to my hand from my deck thanks to Sangan. I add Kuriboh, so let's see you try and finish me."
Marie smiled, for she had a trick up her sleeve also. "Thanks to Airknight's damage, I can draw one card from my deck." She closed her eyes and hoped it was the card she needed. She slowly drew it and looked at the card. It was the exact card she needed to beat him.
"Time to wrap this up Bakura. Thanks to my last attack, my Deck Master also allowed me to gain life points equal to your monster's attack points. That means I gain 1000. Now Guardian Angel Joan, attack his life points directly!" Joan then brought her hands together and fired a powerful beam at Bakura.
He smiled and then discarded something. "I discard Kuriboh to stop this blast." he yelled as the blast neared. Marie nodded as a protective barrier of Kuriboh's defended Bakura.
"Now Tyrant Dragon, attack his life points directly with Tyrant Flame!" The mighty dragon roared and fired a ball of fire at Bakura. The blast was met head on by another wall of Kuriboh's.
Bakura laughed again, saying "I discarded my other Kuriboh as well, so I saved my life points from both attacks. Now it's all over."
Marie burst out loud laughing at Bakura's assumptions.
"What is so funny Marie?" he asked, curious to why she'd laugh at a loss.
"I'm laughing cause it's all over for you." she replied.
Still not understanding, Bakura said "Huh? I don't see how I'm going to lose since I have to just draw one more card."
Marie then laughed again and then said "It's over for you cause I play this magic card. The magic card known as Mystical Space Typhoon! Now I destroy your Destiny Board trap card."
Bakura only could gasp as a typhoon tore through his trap card, thus also destroying all of his other Spirit Message magic cards.
"No!" he said dramatically.
Marie slightly laughed at his melodrama and then said "I end my move." (Illidan 2900, Yami 3000, Marie 3500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 800, Seto 4000, Mai 0, Keith 0)
