Hello once more everyone. Well, not too much new. I went to my interview this evening, and I must say, I'm excited at the possibility of this job. I want it, and I mean I want it bad. Almost as bad as I want Cindy. Gets smacked in the back of the head for making that kind of comparison. Ok, I want her more than the job, lol. Anyways, time to answer some more reviews.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Lol, the plushie was close to the real thing at least. Yeah, Vampire Lord is a good card, although I've never been a great fan of it. Mostly due that I ran stronger monsters, I guess. And yes, Cindy will make her little doggie demon feel better this weekend, hehe. He's not technically asleep. He's kind of just lying there from the mental feedback. It's like he's paralyzed, and just can't do a thing till the feedback fully clears out. But yeah, time to read is hard to come by anymore. Hopefully, that'll change very soon. We're almost done with the hay, but I'm sure dad will find something else to do… Grumbles about he never knows when to just relax. Looks at the chewed up Ryou. Well, at least he's alive, for now, lol.
Isis the Sphinx: Claps for her song. Hard to tell, lol. As for retirement, I meant for saving for it. The place I work for at the moment has no retirement plan, which would suck when I'd be old enough to retire one day. And ok, I will tell her you all said hello. Btw, she's working on another chapter of The History of the Millennium Items. She might get it cranked out in the near future, or a week or two, lol.
pink-kiss-candy: At least you're happy. Pats you on head. That's the important thing, I guess. Anime sweat drops at comment about Ryou saving you. Yeah, keep thinking that.
Brianna Ishtar: Yep, he's a good duelist, and even though he was seventh, that don't mean your skill level. Lol, after all, Seto was eighth, it didn't reflect in his dueling skills, sometimes. Run guy who looks like Ryou! Sees it's too late. Oh well, another one just became a prisoner. Smacks Ryou in head with shovel. Then throws knocked out form into cell with pink-kiss-candy. Happy early birthday! Enjoy your present, hehe.
CWATZ: Thanks. I hope you continue to enjoy it.
Tomb Robber Vicky: Only reason Yami really attacked him was due that they were fighting as fast as they could to get the duel over with before grumpy butt gets back up. He may have hated to attack Joey, but he didn't have too many other choices. And yeah, Bakura would have won by default, but he didn't win, so oh well, lol.
Ultimate Legendary Master: He was close, that's for sure, but close never counts, lol. We'll see about Marie losing control though. Never know, she may make it. Who knows, other than me, lol. Well, my fiancé does to since she proof read the thing for me, and just read it for the heck of it.
Well, that's all the reviews for this morning. Wow, I have 351 now! I only hit 300 last week, and now I'm up to 351. You guys are great! In fact, due to that reason, I'm going to post 2 chapters this morning. I had planned on one, but I'll post 2 now just for you all. Thanks for all the support and reviews. I hope you all enjoy the next two chapters. Later.
Chapter 112
Bakura now frowned, for he had no monsters strong enough to take down everyone's monsters. Slowly, he drew his next card. He slightly smiled and seemed to have a better plan now.
"I first play the magic card Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw 2 new cards. Next, I play Graceful Charity. I now discard my Ultimate Obedient Fiend and Goblin King. Now for the fun part of this duel. I play the Cheerful Coffin magic card, allowing me to discard yet another Goblin King, Byser Shock, and Dark Ruler Ha Des. Now that I have those three in the graveyard, I summon my Chaos Necromancer (0/0) in attack mode." All watched as a weak looking necromancer appeared. It had 0 attack and 0 defense, making almost everyone fall over in classic anime style.
"My fiend may look weak, but watch as his effect kicks in. He gains 300 points per a monster in my Graveyard, and last I checked, I have 10, meaning my monster gains 3000 points (3000/3000)!" His powerful necromancer than glowed as its dark powers were enhanced greatly due to the monsters in his Graveyard.
"Now Chaos Necromancer, attack Marie's Guardian Angel Joan with Necromancy Blast!" The powerful necromancer then raised his hands and fired a powerful blast at Marie's monster. Marie didn't look worried though. As the blast hurtled towards her Deck Master, she smiled.
"I'd think you'd have picked up my strategies by now Bakura. I reveal my face down trap, Mirror Wall! Now your monster's attack points are cut in half (1500/3000)!" The blast hit a wall made from mirrors. Once passing through, the blast was half of what it once was. Joan easily deflected the blast and returned fire with a stronger one, easily crushing Chaos Necromancer.
Bakura's life points ran down to 0 and he bowed his head. He smiled slightly, knowing he'd done his best though. He then started disappearing.
He then said as he was vanishing "Good duel Marie. Good luck from here on out." Then he disappeared completely, only leaving behind his Dark Ruler Ha Des card. He soon enough though reappeared on the wall.
Back on the field, Seto realized it was his turn now. "Watch out you amateurs. Obelisk the Tormentor, attack Illidan's pathetic Dark Magician of Chaos with Fist of Fate!" Obelisk then powered up and threw a powerful fist towards Illidan's weaker mage.
As it neared, Seto screamed "It's over for you and your pathetic mage!"
"Not quite yet Kaiba!" interrupted Yami. Continuing, he said "I move my Dark Magician Girl in to defend Illidan's Dark Magician of Chaos!" The smaller female mage leapt in front of the more powerful mage. She spread her arms in a defensive stance to shield her friend.
"You're a fool Yugi! Why sacrifice your monster to save Illidan?"
Yami smiled at that comment. "Because I'm not really sacrificing my monster. I reveal my face down magic card, Magical Pigeon, which transforms my Dark Magician Girl into a pigeon for one turn, thus evading your attack and saving Illidan's Dark Magician of Chaos!" Suddenly a top hat appeared over Dark Magician Girl. In a wink as she went under, the hat then shot out steam and 2 pigeons as Obelisk crushed the hat. The 2 pigeons landed on the face up Magical Pigeon card and waited.
Seto growled and said "Stalling and saving one another won't win this duel for you 2. You'd might as well give up now instead, rather than force my hand on my next turn. Both of you know you can't take on Obelisk's infinite power, so I'd begin thinking about ending this charade. I'll end my move." With that, the 2 pigeons returned to the field and a puff of smoke reappeared. Dark Magician Girl then reappeared and did a "Tada!" (Illidan 2900, Yami 3000, Marie 8500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 0, Seto 4000, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Illidan quickly drew his next card and smiled. "Just what I needed to take down Obelisk the Tormentor, once and for all."
"I play the magic card United We Stand! This magic card allows me to equip it to any monster of my choosing, and I choose my Dark Magician of Chaos! Now he gains 800 attack and defense points per a monster on my field. Since I have 2 currently, he gains 1600 points (4400/4200)!" The mighty mage then glowed with an awesome power. He swung his lance, showing his readiness for battle.
Seto only gasped and gripped his cards tighter.
"NO! This can't be!" he screamed out at Illidan.
Illidan only chuckled and replied with "But it can be! And now, to finish you off. Dark Magician of Chaos, attack Obelisk the Tormentor with Chaos Scepter Blast!" The mage brought his staff up and fired a huge blast of dark energy at the powerful God Card. The blast collided with Obelisk, causing him to howl in pain. Slowly, the energy built up around him and finally destroyed him.
Seto only growled in frustration as his most powerful monster was gone. He glared at Illidan, saying "YOUUUU!"
Illidan only ignored him and said "Time to wipe you out, so I use my Deck Master's special ability. Dark Magician of Chaos, direct attack Seto's life points with Chaos Slice!" The mage brought his staff up and made a downwards slash. A blade of energy formed and flew straight at Seto.
As it neared, Seto growled and said "I activate my Deck Master's second special ability. Now I draw."
He drew to only growl again.
"I drew my Lord of Dragons, which is a dark type monster. So, I must discard it now to the Graveyard." He did so and then put his arms up in a defensive stance. The blast from Illidan's mage knocked him back some, but didn't knock him off his feet. He then went to one knee, panting. Slowly, he started disappearing.
He looked up and said "I will have my rematch soon Illidan!"
Illidan nodded and smiled. "Of course Seto." he replied. Seto then disappeared, leaving behind Obelisk the Tormentor. He then reappeared on the wall in bonds.
"I end my move." Illidan said proudly. (Illidan 2900, Yami 3000, Marie 8500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 0, Seto 0, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Yami then drew and looked at his card for a moment. Finally, he said "I play the magic card known as Card of Sanctity! This allows us all to draw till we hold 6 cards in our hand."
Illidan, Yami, and Marie then quickly drew their cards. Illidan had picked up his Kuriboh, Beta the Magnet Warrior, Breaker the Magical Warrior, and Ring of Destruction.
After drawing his cards, Yami then said "I special summon Watapon (200/300) in defense mode." A little white puff ball with blue eyes and antennas appeared on the field.
"Thanks to Watapon's effect, I could automatically special summon him to the field when I drew him using Card of Sanctity. Now I sacrifice Watapon in order to summon Summoned Skull (2500/1200)!" The small creature dematerialized and a powerful skeleton with muscle like fiend appeared in its place. It groaned at the field.
"Summoned Skull, wipe out Illidan's Luster Dragon with Lightning Strike!" The powerful fiend then raised its arms and lightening crackled in its hands. Then it threw a blast of it at the beautiful sapphire dragon. As strong and as beautiful as the dragon was, it was no match for the lightning attack, which simply fried the dragon. Illidan growled as his favorite non-tribute monster was easily wiped out.
"Next I set 2 cards face down and end my move." (Illidan 2300, Yami 3000, Marie 8500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 0, Seto 0, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Up on the wall, Yugi's friends cheered him on, saying "Great move!"
Yami looked up and smiled a half happy smile. He was more concerned with saving his friends than winning this duel.
Marie then drew her card and smiled. "Your Summoned Skull maybe powerful Yami, but wait till you check this monster out. I summon my powerful The Agent of Force – Mars (0/0)!" An angel in red then appeared. He wielded an axe and wore a mask to cover his face.
"Now for my monsters special effect. When Sanctuary of the Sky is in play, his effect becomes active. His attack and defense points become the difference between my opponents and mine life points. That means if I attack you Yami, the difference is 5500, while if I attack Illidan, the difference is 5600. So, now I must choose who to attack."
She shut her eyes, letting her mind try and focus. If she followed her heart, she'd attack Yami in an instant rather than Illidan. Her head knew better though, for Yami had 3 face down cards now. If she followed her head, she'd have to attack Illidan, for his monster was far weaker than hers. Opening her eyes, she sighed, knowing she had no choice.
Slowly, she said "I'm sorry Illidan, but I must take you out now. I didn't want to, but my mind knows better than my heart right now. So, here I go. Mars, attack Illidan's Dark Magician of Chaos with Force Destruction!" Mars then leapt into the air and powered up. He then fired a powerful beam from his axe at Illidan's mage.
Illidan only smiled and chuckled lightly. "I don't think so Marie. If your mind was as sharp as you thought, you'd have noticed I still have one face down card. And this card will be my saving grace!"
Marie had a sweat drop drip down her head. "What do you mean?" she asked shakily.
Illidan chuckled again and said "Allow me to show you what I mean. I reveal my face down magic card, Scapegoat! Now 4 Scapegoat tokens (0/0) are special summoned in defense mode." Four little goat creatures then appeared. Each had a smile that seemed to be a mock at Marie. Now she was confused.
"Wait, how does that help you at all? Mars is still too strong for you mage."
Illidan chuckled and pointed at his mage. Suddenly, his attack points shot up by 3200 points (6800/6600).
"WHAT?" Marie gasped.
"You forgot my powerful United We Stand magic card. It's still equipped to my mage, thus raising his attack and defense points by 800 per a monster on the field. Since I just added 4 more, he gained 3200 more points, thus making him the strongest on the field now. Now Dark Magician of Chaos, counter attack her blast with Chaos Slice!" The mage easily knocked away the mighty blast coming at him. He then swung his staff through the air, forming a blade of energy. The blade easily cut down Mars.
Marie stared in disbelief as her monster was destroyed. She growled and said "This duel is far from done Illidan. Now Tyrant Dragon, wipe out a Scapegoat with Tyrant Flame!" The mighty orange dragon powered up and roared. It then spat a blast of fire at one of the goats. The small goat easily was blown away.
"Now Tyrant Dragon's special effect kicks in. Since you have another monster on the field, Tyrant Dragon can attack again, so use Tyrant Flame on another Scapegoat!" The orange dragon roared again and blew away yet another goat with a powerful flame.
"Next I'll finish this duel by using my Airknight Parshath. Airknight, attack his Scapegoat with Fairy Slash to win me the duel!" Airknight neared the small goat quickly. Illidan only had 2300 life points, and since Airknight's effect allowed it to do damage to even defensive monsters, with it's 2300 attack, it could easily wipe him out.
Illidan only smirked as the powerful fairy swung his lance. He then discarded one card and a wall of Kuriboh's formed around his Scapegoat.
"NOT THAT!" cried out Marie.
"That's right Marie, I discard my Kuriboh to save my life points. Now your attack is useless." said a smug Illidan.
She sighed as the small goat was destroyed along with the Kuriboh's. "Now I set 3 cards face down and end my move." (Illidan 2300, Yami 3000, Marie 8500, Joey 0, Marik 0, Noa 0, Bakura 0, Seto 0, Mai 0, Keith 0)
Illidan then closed his eyes and drew his next card. "I need something to end this duel now. Come on Heart of the Cards, guide me." He then brought the card out in front of him slowly and opened his eyes. There it was; his life saver. "Perfect. It's just what I needed to finish this duel once and for all."
He quickly examined the field to make sure he could pull this move off though. He had 6 cards in his hand now, but would have 5 when he played this card. He had only Dark Magician of Chaos and a Scapegoat token out, along with his United We Stand. Yami had Dark Magician Girl, Summoned Skull, Breaker the Magical Warrior, and 3 face down cards, along with 2 cards in his hand. Marie had her Deck Master, Guardian Angel Joan, out, along with Airknight Parshath and Tyrant Dragon. She also had 3 face down cards, along with Big Bang Shot and 3 cards in her hand. Totaled together, they all had 26 cards in their hands and on the field. It wasn't enough for his plan to work fully on Marie, but it was close enough to get him the win. "Wait, her Deck Master is out. Unless she can reel it back in, she's finished."
"It's time I finish this duel, once and for all. I remove Thunder Nyan Nyan and Kuriboh from my graveyard in order to summon the monster of your 2's destruction. I special summon Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (3000/2500)!" Marie and Yami stood in shock as the huge dragon appeared. The mighty black dragon roared at the field, while spreading out its powerful wings.
"Now Chaos Emperor Dragon, I pay 1000 life points in order to trigger your special effect. It's time for the end for you 2. I'm sorry it had to come to this, but it has to be done. Chaos Emperor Dragon, use your Infinite Blaster on the field and our hands, destroying everything in your wake!" The dragon roared and moved to the middle of the field.
Yami's eyes showed defeat, while Marie's showed a spark of hope yet. While roaring, the dragon began to glow with power. Slowly, bit by bit, the dragon reached full power. He then roared one last time and exploded, destroying everything in his wake. All of Yami's monsters were easily destroyed, as well as his face downs.
Marie's field was next, but before her Deck Master was blown away, she screamed "I'll save my Deck Master! I activate Guardian Angel Joan's second special ability. At a cost of one monster with the name Joan in it, I can save my monster. And since only one other monster in my deck has that name, it shouldn't be a shocker. I discard St. Joan from my fusion deck to save Guardian Angel Joan!" The angel Joan then switched places with the other Joan. The other Joan looked like a warrior rather than an angel. They swapped places just as the blast hit Marie's field. Slowly, one by one, her monsters were destroyed, followed by her face down cards. Then Illidan's field was slowly massacred, along with his United We Stand card. Then the explosion finished with a major shockwave. Marie was knocked to one knee and sat there on it panting. Yami was knocked to the ground, lying there panting as well. Illidan was still fine, for the devastation didn't even touch him.
Smiling, he then said "Now we add all the cards together. Altogether, we had 26 cards on the field and in our hands. That means we multiply 26 by 300 in order to find out the total damage. And the total damage is 7800! That means Yami and Marie, you both lose 7800 life points. That wipes you out Yami, and leaves you with only 700 Marie."
Yami's Duel Disk's Life Point Counter hit 0, and Marie's went down to 700.
Yami only smiled as he began to disappear. "I figured more than likely you were the one destined to stop him. Save the world for all of us my friend!"
Illidan nodded as Yami finally disappeared. Slifer the Sky Dragon was left on the field where he once stood.
Above, on the wall, 2 new figures appeared. First Yami appeared, but suddenly, Yugi was seen as well.
When Yami looked over and saw Yugi, he said "How is this possible!" Yugi looked just as shocked as Yami was.
"What now Yami?" he asked. Yami only shrugged and looked down.
"We wait." he finally said.
