Hey everyone. Well, yet another fun day has come and gone. Hmm, not much has happened here. I managed to finally finish up writing on my Inuyasha one-shot, titled Why is it. I hope that it does as well as this story. Anyways, not much else has happened. Soon I'll begin working more and more on my other stories, which includes the one-shot for after the sequel to this story, and then I can begin work on the final sequel as well once more. Soon I'll have lots to do, lol. At any rate, time to answer some reviews.

CWATZ: Yeah, but he already was one really. So, no big deal about him being a fighter.

Metal Overlord 2.0: Lol, yeah, I know. He just felt he was to blame, which I can relate. Thanks for the comment on my combo. It was something I thought of when I first saw The Creator. Poor Bakura, lol. Wait, did you throw the girls in too, or just him? Yeah, Gansley hasn't changed much. I did make changes to his deck, as well as the others, but as for going all out and changing their Deck Masters, nah. About the dragon, nah, I didn't use it. I thought about it, but didn't do it due to complications it would cause me.

Ultimate Legendary Master: You are welcome, and usually when I get a day behind, I always try to post 2 to make up for the day before. And yeah, as long as Umi is out, Legendary Fisherman can't be attacked. I don't think he tried to attack it though, or if he did, I forgot, lol.

Tomb Robber Vicky: Yeah, I liked that part myself. You'll learn more about Squall in Cindy's story, but I thought I'd bring him out in mine as well. Lol, yeah, the henchmen are using different decks, but Red-Eyes is there to save the day! Watches Red-Eyes put a cape on and call himself "Super Red-Eyes."

Fire Princess: Lol, it's alright. I know at the least you said hello. Yes, English is hard to speak. It's a tough duel, that one is for sure. Don't worry, you'll get your English down. It just takes time. And don't mind the crazy girl. I see Ryou too, and I'm a bit older. Some people just don't believe in him I guess, lol.

Strawberry Cake: Yep, they're back, and just as bad as ever, lol. Turns the channel. That show is like watching the space channel, lol. Throws rock at TV, thus turning it off. That takes care of that irritation.

Brianna Ishtar: Yeah, he's positive, at the least. Ok, those 2 are just odd. Feeds Ryon more sugar.

pink-kiss-candy: Yep, it is unbelievable, lol. You know Gozaburo would have to revive his 'faithful' henchmen. Lol, frightened of Ryon are you? He seems like such a nice guy though. Looks at him cackling evilly. See, he's so happy, so what's to be scared of, lol.

Well, that's all I have for today. Btw, for all fans of The History of the Millennium Items, Cindy is working on it. She's nearly finished a chapter, but the problem is getting it posted. I'm not due to return to see her for two weeks, so that might mean a bit of a wait, unless I decide to go this coming weekend. I don't know for sure what I'll do, so I'll let you all know though.

Anyways, I'm done for this morning, so I'll talk to you all tomorrow once again. Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 116

Back on the field, Illidan was weighing his options. "If I attack, I could run into his Reflector Hole. But he could also choose not to use it and have my monster return. Hmm, but then he'd be wide open for a direct attack. I have to take that chance though. I'll use Luster Dragon, that way if I don't succeed, I won't lose that many life points. Wait, I have a better idea. I'll resurrect Dark Magician of Chaos to return my Ring of Defense. If he dares to use Reflector Hole, I'll use Ring of Defense to save my life points. Yeah, that'll work."

"Watch this move. You talk a good game, but it's time I show you how a true strategist thinks. I now activate The Creator's special effect. I once again discard Sinister Serpent, allowing me to resurrect my Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600) in attack mode." The Creator's eyes flashed and suddenly a pentagram of fire formed on the field. Slowly, the mage clad in tight fitting black armor appeared. His eyes had a glow of magical buildup. When he finally was fully on the field, he swung his staff, causing all the fire to extinguish.

"Next Dark Magician of Chaos's special effect kicks in. Since he's been special summoned, I can add one magic card from my Graveyard to my hand. So, I add Ring of Defense back. Now I summon my Luster Dragon (1900/1600) in attack mode." A sapphire dragon with ruby eyes then appeared. It let loose a roar to try and strike fear in Gansley's heart.

"Now Luster Dragon, attack his Wall of Illusion with Ruby Blaster!" The beautiful sapphire dragon roared and took flight. Then it opened its mouth and spat a ruby colored blast of energy at Wall of Illusion. The blast easily destroyed the walled creature. As it was struck, it shot a blast at Luster Dragon, causing the dragon to disappear from the field. Then the walled creature fully exploded. The energy string connecting to Gansley then broke, causing Gansley to yell out in pain. He went to one knee, breathing heavily.

Finally, he smiled and stood. "Thanks to your move Mr. Stormrage, your Luster Dragon is returned to your hand." he finally said.

Illidan only chuckled, saying "Of course. Now you have no monsters that are capable of defending your life points. Legendary Fisherman can't defend you due to his special ability, so say good bye to a chunk of your life points. Red-Eyes Black Dragon, direct attack his life points with Inferno Fire Blast!" The black dragon roared and opened its mouth. Energy built up in it till finally a blast of red energy was fired.

The sphere of energy hurled quickly towards Gansley, but he only smirked. "I think not Mr. Stormrage. I activate my trap card, Tornado Wall!" Suddenly several tornados formed around Gansley. The blast from Red-Eyes smacked into one of the tornados and was easily destroyed.

Illidan slightly growled in frustration. "Did you actually think I would allow you to attack me? You're a foolish one if you did." taunted Gansley.

Illidan only let out a slight chuckle and said "I'll end my move for now." (Gansley 6600, Illidan 5400)

"Good, cause now I'm going to force you to continue to decline. I play the magic card known as Pot of Greed, allowing me to add 2 new cards to my resources. I just drew the monster known as Watapon (200/300), which I can special summon to the field in defense mode." A small white fuzz ball with antennas then appeared.

"He is a small worker, but an efficient one. Next I summon the young man known as Marauding Captain (1200/400) in defense mode." A young warrior with two swords, one on each side, then appeared in a defensive stance.

"Thanks to this up and coming young man, I can special summon yet another monster from my hand. And I choose an industrious worker that you have been using. His name is Sinister Serpent (300/250), in defense mode. And thanks to A Legendary Ocean, he gains 200 more to his stats (500/450)." A small serpent creature then appeared. It had wings on the side of its back and it stuck its tongue in and out, much like a snake would.

"That should be enough for now. Let's see what you can do Mr. Stormrage." (Gansley 6600, Illidan 5400)

Illidan drew his card and looked at it. He just smiled at his new card. "You know Gansley, you're right, your workforce is pretty large and powerful, but not nearly powerful enough. You should be ready for the tough times. And those tough times have just arrived. First, I return Sinister Serpent from my Graveyard. Next I summon Tribe-Infecting Virus (1600/1000) in attack mode!" A group of iguana like creatures then appeared. They seemed sick or something. One held a staff in his hand.

"What a pathetic monster. You think that will give me a tough time?" said Gansley mockingly.

Illidan only chuckled and said "Yes, he will. Now watch as he gets a power boost from your field card (1800/1200). And now, I activate Tribe-Infecting Virus's special ability. You see, when I discard one card from my hand, I can declare one monster type. If that monster type is on the field, it's instantly destroyed."

Gansley's face turned grim when he heard this. He did after all have 3 types of monsters on the field. Two of his monsters were the same type, so that presented a problem.

"Now I discard Sinister Serpent in order to destroy Warrior types!" The group of iguana like creatures then glowed and sent a cloud of gas over to Gansley's side of the field. Gansley's Legendary Fisherman and Marauding Captain grabbed their throats as they changed to a greenish color and finally exploded.

Gansley growled but smirked. "Nice try Mr. Stormrage, but you've failed to clear my field."

Illidan smirked back and replied "Who said I was done?"

Gansley's face went white with fear.

"Now I activate Tribe-Infecting Virus's effect again. I discard my Perfect Machine King in order to destroy Fairy types!" A new cloud was sent over from the iguana creatures. Watapon started turning green and then exploded. Gansley now only had his Sinister Serpent left.

"Now it's time to do something about that trap card of yours. I discard my Luster Dragon in order to activate The Creator's special ability. I now resurrect Jinzo (2400/1500) in attack mode!" The Creator's eyes glowed and Jinzo then appeared on the field. He let out a moan and crossed his arms.

"Now all our trap cards are negated, meaning Tornado Wall is useless to you. Time to take you down a notch, and it starts with this monster. Red-Eyes Black Dragon, attack his Sinister Serpent with Inferno Fire Blast!" The mighty dragon opened its mouth as an energy sphere formed. It then spat it at Sinister Serpent. The small serpent was easily crushed by the blast. This caused the small energy string connected to the serpent to snap, causing Gansley to scream in pain. He went down to one knee again, breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry, but it's not over yet. Now my Deck Master allows Red-Eyes to attack again. Red-Eyes, attack him directly with Inferno Fire Blast!" Screeching, the dragon then fired yet another sphere of red and black energy. The blast hit Gansley, causing him to fall down completely.

Slowly, he got up and was chuckling. "Well, it has been a while since I've had a good strategist to take me on, but you failed to notice one thing Mr. Stormrage." said Gansley in a mocking tone.

"And what would that be Gansley?" asked Illidan.

"That my Deck Master's special ability kicks in for the damage you gave me. Now I can special summon this monster, my Hyena (1000/300) in defense mode." A hyena then appeared on the field. Like real hyenas, it just let out a laughing like bark.

Illidan only laughed. "Trying to hide behind a vulture won't work Gansley. After all, it's still my move, and I can attack with another monster. Now Jinzo, attack his Hyena with Cyber Energy Shock!" Jinzo brought his hands up and formed a ball of black energy. Then he threw the ball at the hyena, which was still laughing, even when it was blown away. That cut the energy string to Gansley, which fell to his knees in pain.

He started laughing though as he stood up. "Not… bad Mr. Stormrage, but you'll… have to do better than that. After all, … you triggered Hyena's special effect. Now I can special summon up to 2 new ones from my deck in attack mode." Two new hyenas's then appeared, both laughing.

Illidan could only laugh. "So, you're a gluttin for more punishment. Well, who am I to stop you? Dark Magician of Chaos, wipe out his Hyena with Chaos Slice!" The mage then pointed his staff at one hyena. He then made a swiping motion and an energy blade formed. The blade easily sliced through the hyena, instantly breaking the energy thread connected to Gansley, who screamed in great pain.

"Now Tribe-Infecting Virus, attack his last Hyena with Tribe Club Smash!" The one iguana creature with a staff then charged the hyena and smashed it over the head with its staff. The hyena was easily crushed, causing Gansley to completely fall to his knees again. He sat there, holding his sides as he made painful moans.

"I end my move." Illidan said quietly. (Gansley 1800, Illidan 5400)

"I really wish this wasn't a Shadow Game. Due that this is part of his Deck Master's abilities is why he suffers so much."

Slowly, Gansley got up on shaky knees. "Well Mr. Stormrage, I must say you've done well so far. But this is where it stops. Now I summon my powerful worker known as Batteryman AA (0/0) in defense mode." A monster with a battery for a torso then appeared.

"His special effect grants him 1000 extra defense points for every Batteryman AA on the field (0/1000). Next I play the magic card Heart of Clear Water, which equips to my monster. Now he can't be destroyed due to battle. Let's see you get through this." (Gansley 1800, Illidan 5400)

Illidan then drew and chuckled.

"What is so funny Mr. Stormrage?" asked Gansley.

Illidan only replied with "You're finished. Now I return my Sinister Serpent. Next, I sacrifice Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Dark Magician of Chaos, and Jinzo in order to summon the mighty Egyptian God known as Obelisk the Tormentor (4000/4000)!" Everyone gasped as suddenly all three monsters Illidan sacrificed disappeared. Then the Shadow Realm seemed to grow even darker as a blue light formed behind Illidan. Suddenly, Obelisk appeared, roaring and stretching his arms. The mighty God Card's eyes then glowed red as he looked at Gansley.

"So what Mr. Stormrage? Your monster still can't destroy my monster." stated Gansley.

Illidan only chuckled and said "You're wrong Gansley, cause I'm about to destroy you and your life points. Now I activate Obelisk the Tormentor's special effect. By sacrificing my 2 remaining monsters, I can now obliterate all your monsters and attack you with infinite force. So, I sacrifice The Creator and Tribe-Infecting Virus to Obelisk the Tormentor!"

Obelisk then grabbed both of the 2 monsters. Slowly, he began to absorb their power. Once he had absorbed them both, he roared loudly. He then stretched a hand forward, blasting away Gansley's remaining monster. Then he began building up his energy. Slowly, his color changed to red as energy started growing around his clenched fists. Finally, the attack points of Obelisk started growing. They continued climbing as Obelisk continued to grow redder. At long last, his attack points reached infinite.

"IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!" screamed Gansley.

"Now Obelisk the Tormentor, finish this duel by direct attacking his life points with Fist of Fate!" Obelisk then brought forth his fists. Stretching them out, he pointed at Gansley and fired. A huge blast of energy flew from each fist. The 2 blasts then melded into one and became a huge blast. Finally, the blast reached Gansley, hitting him hard and knocking him backwards at least 5 feet. He landed with a huge thud.

Gozaburo then started laughing in his throne. He pointed towards Gansley and said "You've failed Gansley."

Gansley, who was barely aware of things, looked up and said "Please, forgive me and give me another chance Mr. Kaiba!"

Gozaburo let a cruel smile cross his face and then said "No, you failed. Say good bye to this world!" Then the Millennium Crown glowed and dark hands appeared around Gansley. They grabbed him and started pulling him into the darkness of the Shadow Realm. Gansley screamed loudly, but it didn't stop the dark hands. Slowly, he disappeared into the darkness.

Then Gozaburo laughed and nodded to the judge, who was standing there scared witless. "The winner is Illidan Stormrage!" declared the judge in a shaky voice.

Marie yelled down to Illidan "Great job Illidan!" Illidan looked up and smiled back at her. Then the Shadow Realm started slowly disappearing. Marie was fading away like before.

"Remember Marie, I love you!" Illidan called out to her.

She nodded and said "I love you too!" Then she vanished again, just as she had before.

Gozaburo only let loud an evil laughter. "Well Illidan, seems you have defeated that pathetic fool. Tomorrow your next duel shall take place at 8 A.M. Be there or say good bye to your friends forever!" Then he clicked a button on his throne and it started lowering itself into the tower.

Illidan only stared with eyes of determination at Gozaburo as he disappeared. The remaining 4 associates and the judge then stepped on a platform and then they too started to be lowered into the tower.

Only Illidan remained. Illidan turned and headed for the elevator, knowing he had to rest up for the next day.
