Hello everyone. Glad everyone enjoyed this last chapter. Again, thank you all for helping me get over 500 reviews. I guess my other victory is that I have over 130 chapters as well. Don't worry, I didn't break many more marks, lol. When I started, I thought it would only last 50 chapters. Once I dove in though, I realized it was more of a 75-100 chapter story. About chapter 100, I began to wonder if it would ever end, hehe. It did though, and I think that the ending duel turned out good. Looking back over my writing though, I wish now I had reread it and done corrections like I had with the other three files (a total of 105 chapters, with 35 in each file). Oh well, no use to worry about it now. At any rate, let's get down to doing the reviews.
Isis the Sphinx: Raises an eyebrow. Ok, that made some sense… but not really, lol. I don't completely understand. Anyways, thanks for the congrats.
Ryon Nakura: Sniffle You don't miss the crazy half demon? Oh well, just enjoy your time with Marik. At least you're not alone anymore. Now you have a fun playmate to keep you company, hehe.
Berry Kisses: It could be just that strong. Yep, it just could be. Yeah, he's deep. Like subterranean deep, lol.
Fire Princess: Probably to find Ryon. That or find someplace to hide away from everyone.
Strawberry Cake: Laughs at Ryou as he runs away. Keep running Ryou. Maybe she won't catch you. Maybe…
Brianna Ishtar: Lol, me either. And yeah Ryou, it is a quite a show. I bought tickets for when Marik manages to skin Ryon alive. Better hurry and get yours before they sell out.
sweetxokissesxo: Uh… It'll come sooner or later. Looks at book. Interesting… Shreds book with claws. Oops…
pink-kiss-candy: Yeah, it is a tough duel. Marie sure was giving it to Illidan in the heart, even though it wasn't truly her. Yes, he's far worse than you Ryou. Ryou smiles great big. Just kidding. Ryou does an anime fall over.
x-knight20: Yeah, they're back, for now. How long though, who knows… other than me, lol.
Metal Overlord 2.0: I know the feeling. It's kind of freaky to hear that kind of stuff come from her, of all people. Hmm, maybe Hue Hefner uses a Millennium Item to keep all those women around… That's something worthy of investigating. Gets smacked in the back of the head by Cindy. I mean, never mind… But yeah, it's a different deck. I tried to help improve his old Exodia Necross deck by using the Gravekeeper's. That way, it's major weakness couldn't be exploited again, like how Seto did. Yeah, the trick is to balance your life points. Go below 8100 points, and you lose people. Stay above, then you're safe. Same principle applies with Marie as well.
Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks. He could have possibly, but with Gozaburo's Deck Master, who knows what would happen. Plus, I thought that the duel should be dragged out a bit. I had to consider all possibilities when writing it, but I let it drag out longer.
Well, I'm done now. Thanks everyone for your comments. Btw, I should let you all know, I'll be busy this weekend, so I won't be able to post on Saturday or Sunday, but I will post again on Monday. Next week, things will continue on till the final day, where the last chapter shall be posted. Till then, enjoy. Later.
Chapter 133
Gozaburo only let out a laugh at Illidan. "So, you've finally decided to bring an Egyptian God into this fight. I wondered how long it would take you to do it. That was the whole plan of using Morphing Jar though. I hoped you'd draw one, and try to use it. Of course, your card is weak due that you only hold two cards in your hand. What a pathetic attempt to summon an Egyptian God Card, muwhahaha!"
Illidan only chuckled and said "Don't forget my Precious Cards from Beyond. It allows me to now draw two new cards since I sacrificed a monster for three tributes. Now I draw, thus granting more power to Slifer the Sky Dragon (4000/4000)!" Illidan then picked up his two new cards and smiled. In the background, Slifer roared louder as his power increased due to the new cards Illidan held.
One of the cards Illidan had drawn was real important though. His The Creator Incarnate meant he could get it out next turn in order to summon The Creator in two turns, thus giving Illidan a major edge. The other card he drew was his Monster Reborn.
"Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack Gozaburo's Morphing Jar with Thunder Force!" commanded Illidan. Slifer roared and opened his powerful jaws. A huge ball of energy then formed. Finally, the large dragon released the blast, striking the jar monster with an incredible force. Easily, the jar was no match and screamed as it was destroyed.
Gozaburo held his one arm up to keep the wind from the powerful blast from striking his eyes. He only growled as his monster was torn to shreds.
"It's not over yet though Gozaburo! My Deck Master now allows Slifer to attack again. So Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack his Wicked Token with Thunder Force!" The mighty Egyptian God roared and created yet another powerful sphere of energy in it's mouth. At last, it spat the blast at the serpent like creature, which only could screech as it was blown away. Again, Gozaburo shielded his face from the smoke and wind.
Illidan smirked and then said "I place one card face down and end my move (3000/3000)." (Gozaburo 2550, Illidan 8500) Slifer roared as his points went down by 1000, signifying he was weakening.
Gozaburo smirked and drew, and his eyes went wide, as an evil grin came across his face. "It's time I show you why I'm so confident that I'll win Illidan. You see, your three Egyptian God Cards are nothing compared to the card I'm about to play. This card will be the monster that destroys you once and for all, muwhahaha!"
Gozaburo then began an evil laughter, like it was an uncontrollable fit.
Illidan only laughed and pointed a finger at Gozaburo, saying "You've gone mad. Nothing is stronger than the three Egyptian God Cards and you know that."
Gozaburo stopped laughing and grinned evilly at Illidan, and said "Yes, there is something Illidan. Something that hasn't been seen for over 6 millennia! This card is a card so powerful that your own pitiful Egyptian God Cards will tremble at it's power. This power is much stronger than those three, muwhahaha!"
Illidan only stood there, trying to think of anything he could remember that was supposedly stronger than the three Egyptian God Cards. "Hmm, I don't remember any monsters in ancient times that were stronger. And from what I remember of ancient texts at that time, there was nothing before the three Gods that was stronger, so what is Gozaburo babbling about?"
Gozaburo then grinned evilly and said "Illidan, your time has come. Now I summon the most powerful monster in this world. I summon the fourth Egyptian God…"
On the wall, everyone but Shadi said "FOURTH EGYPTIAN GOD?"
Illidan himself said the same thing, pondering if there was a fourth. He had never seen, nor heard of a fourth Egyptian God Card.
Gozaburo then slapped a card on his Duel Disk, and lightening seemed to form on his Duel Disk where the card was played. "… Anubis, The God of Life and Death (2000/2000)!" screamed Gozaburo.
Suddenly, the Shadow Realm seemed to grow much darker. Then in a flash of white light, a sarcophagus appeared on the field. It had the image of an Egyptian version of the God of the Dead. Then the sarcophagus opened, and there came out the mighty Egyptian God, Anubis, The God of Life and Death. He was a large monster, but not as huge as Slifer, Obelisk, or Ra. In comparison, he was a smaller monster than them. He had the head of a black coyote, with ears and a snout. His body was firm and he had semi large arms. Unlike Obelisk, who had huge arms, Anubis's arms appeared to match his body. For the most part, Anubis looked like a man with a coyote head attached. He glowed with a white aura that seemed incredibly strong.
Slifer the Sky Dragon even seemed to tremble with fear at the sight of this monster.
Gozaburo only laughed and laughed as his mighty Egyptian God was put on display. Finally, he stopped and said "Tremble in fear Illidan, for this Egyptian God is far more powerful than the other three combined!"
Illidan only smirked and said "Obviously by his attack points, he's not as strong as you say. Also, how is it possible for you to summon him without three sacrifices?"
Gozaburo only laughed and said "That's one of Anubis's special effects. I could have sacrificed three monsters to summon him, but he also is allowed to be summoned as a level 4 monster."
Illidan only slightly growled, but then smiled and said "You do realize what you've done though? You've triggered Slifer the Sky Dragon's special ability when you summoned Anubis! Slifer, use your second mouth and blast Anubis with it!"
Slifer seemed to get over his trembling and opened up his second mouth. Then the mighty dragon spat a blast from it. The energy ball struck Anubis, which didn't make a movement, or a sound. Then Anubis was easily blown into pieces.
Illidan only chuckled, saying "So much for that fake Egyptian God."
Gozaburo only laughed, and said "You haven't seen the end of my Egyptian God Card yet Illidan. Now I place two cards face down, and end my turn." (Gozaburo 2550, Illidan 8500)
Illidan only chuckled. "So, that's it then. Well, watch this!" He then drew and looked at his D.D. Warrior Lady. Slifer then roared as his attack points increased yet again (4000/4000).
Then Illidan prepared to make his move when suddenly Gozaburo's Graveyard glowed with an awesome brightness. Suddenly, the fourth Egyptian God Card shot out of Gozaburo's Graveyard and onto his Duel Disk. Then the almighty fourth Egyptian God, Anubis, returned to the field in defense mode. He was simply on one knee with his arms crossed. Slifer trembled with fear yet again.
Illidan as well was shocked. "How did your so called Egyptian God get back to the field? I didn't see you play any magic or trap cards." asked Illidan.
Gozaburo only manically laughed and then said "That's cause I didn't play any. You see, Anubis's special effect allowed him to return. Once summoned to the field, this Egyptian God will always return. Even if he's destroyed, the next turn he'll return! That is what makes him so much stronger than the other three. Your pitiful Slifer the Sky Dragon is no match for this Egyptian God Card!"
Illidan only chuckled and said "You forget though, Slifer's special ability will once again wipe your monster out! Now Slifer the Sky Dragon, destroy his Anubis with your second mouth!" Slifer once again opened his second set of jaws and fired another burst of energy at the powerful God of Life and Death.
But then, Gozaburo quickly said as the blast neared "I activate my trap card, Rite of Spirit! Now I can bring back one Gravekeeper, and I choose my Gravekeeper's Spy (1200/2000) in defense mode!"
Illidan then watched as the woman in black robes appeared in a crouching position. He only chuckled and said "You've triggered Slifer's second mouth yet again. Blast his pathetic Gravekeeper's Spy Slifer!" Slifer then fired yet another blast from his second set of jaws.
As the second blast quickly overtook the first, Gozaburo grinned evilly. "I activate one of Anubis's special effect. Now I can sacrifice Gravekeeper's Spy to increase Anubis's attack and defense points by Gravekeeper's Spy's attack and defense points (2000 + 1200 3700/2000 + 2000 4000)!"
Illidan and everyone else gasped as the woman in robes disappeared and Anubis got stronger. The second blast then dissipated, while the original struck Anubis. Anubis then lost 2000 of his attack points from Slifer's special ability (3200/2000).
Slightly growling, Illidan finally stopped and smirked, then said "Looks like your so called Egyptian God is weaker now. He's easy prey for my Slifer the Sky Dragon. Now, just so I know, what makes you think this card is an Egyptian God? There were only three when we walked the Earth 5000 years ago in Egypt. So, explain why you think this one is an Egyptian God."
Gozaburo only chuckled and said "There is an easy reason. You see, this Egyptian God was the original Egyptian God of Egypt. About six millennia ago, Anubis became uncontrollable. Only the pharaoh, one of Yami's long lost relatives I understand, was capable of controlling him. But even the pharaoh feared Anubis, especially after Anubis killed his own son. Fearful for his family and subjects, the pharaoh decided to rid the world of Anubis. But there was no way to do it out right. Anubis was far too powerful for that, so he had another idea on how to get rid of Anubis. The second idea was if he couldn't destroy Anubis out right, he would split the powerful Egyptian God into three separate monsters. So, with all his followers one day, he brought Anubis forth. Then with all their power, they split the powerful Egyptian God into three. You can only guess what three were formed by this splitting. Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and The Winged Dragon of Ra were born from this splitting of Anubis. Each received a portion of Anubis's power. Of course, none of them compare to Anubis's true power. He is far superior to each of them. Even combined, the three of them don't stand a chance against this Egyptian God! But it gets much better. Why you haven't heard about this monster is due to one reason. That pharaoh feared Anubis so much that he had him stricken from all records. All records of Anubis existing as a Shadow Creature were destroyed. Only one record was left about Anubis, and that was hidden deeply in the archives, never meant to be seen again. It was the pharaoh's fear that Anubis would be revived and destroy Egypt for what was done to him. Of course, as you know, the three Egyptian Gods that were created were not too much better. Those three eventually became too destructive for us to handle in ancient times, so in fear, we destroyed them. But that's not the ironic part. The ironic part is all three were revived by that bumbling idiot Maximillion Pegasus. But that wasn't the best part. The icing on the cake was that idiot recreated Anubis as well!"
Illidan looked in shock as Gozaburo made that statement. "Did Pegasus find out about Anubis and do the same for him?"
Gozaburo chuckled and then said "Wonder why he did it? Well, it's simple. He had just found out first about the three Egyptian Gods. Now I'll show you what happened!"
Suddenly, the Millennium Crown glowed, and a vision came to them all. There in a room was a man with silver hair. He wore a maroon suit, and his hair covered one eye. His hair then slightly moved to reveal his Millennium Eye. He was staring at some research that he had. Suddenly it hit Illidan and a few others that didn't know him, that this was Maximillion Pegasus. He then started reading some ancient texts, trying to research all he could on Duel Monsters. His search right now was on the three Egyptian Gods.
"This can't be! According to this research, the three Egyptian Gods have only been around six millennia! They should have been around much longer than that. What happened I wonder? Why did they just suddenly come into existence? I must find out."
Then the vision flashed to a scene in Egypt. There, they saw Pegasus reading an ancient scroll in what looked like a very ancient tome. He was wearing a grayish safari outfit, with a matching safari hat. He carefully handled the scrolls, making sure not to destroy them.
Finally he yelled out "Now I get it! According to these ancient scrolls, about six millennia ago, a powerful pharaoh and his court created the three Egyptian Gods from one. The one was called Anubis, and he had powers far beyond that of Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and The Winged Dragon of Ra. It is good that I found this out, for now I have texts and images to create the ultimate Egyptian God!"
Then Pegasus ordered his men in. Carefully, everything on Anubis that was in the tomb was collected and taken back to America with Pegasus.
The vision then flashed to Pegasus's home. Once there, Pegasus started work on the fourth Egyptian God Card. He wouldn't be happy till his work was finished, and he had voluntarily decided to do the work on this card alone. He had others doing work on the other three Egyptian Gods, but he would do this one himself. Slowly, he worked on the powerful Egyptian God. Finally, he had a card created, one that would strike fear into the heart of any that saw it played. After he finished, he then took hold of the card and stared at it.
"With this card, I'll be invincible! Soon I shall revive Ce…"
He was stopped in mid-sentence by the sudden aura that appeared around the card. Glancing at the card, he saw a white aura starting to appear. The card then pulsated, as if it was alive. It's power was much greater than anything Pegasus had ever seen. Suddenly, the aura flared out, knocking the card out of his hand.
Frightened, Pegasus then flared his own power up with the Millennium Eye. With it's power, he began to try and force the God Card to power down, but the card fought back and knocked Pegasus back about 5 feet. Suddenly Pegasus saw an image of Anubis. The ancient Egyptian God lunged at him, making Pegasus scream out in terror. Anubis then grabbed him by the shirt collar and held him up. Pegasus grabbed for the God's arm, trying to break the grip, but it was useless. Anubis had him nearly paralyzed with fear.
In a raspy, ancient voice, Anubis said "Thank you for my freedom. I was destroyed about six millennia ago by the pharaoh, just due that he feared me. Now I shall strike true fear into this world, and I shall prove why I am the only true Egyptian God. Those other three maybe my descendants, but they are nothing but weaker versions of me. Now, prepare for your death!"
Anubis then pulled back his free hand in a fist and prepared to punch Pegasus. In total fear, Pegasus poured out his power in his Millennium Eye. He screamed in total terror, but didn't dare stop pouring out his power. Anubis cried out in pain as the Shadow Powers of Pegasus started bashing him. Anubis had no choice but to release Pegasus from his grasp, but only laughed at this attempt.
"You think you have enough power to stop me! Think again!" he said in a defiant voice.
Pegasus then released all the power he had within his Millennium Eye, forcing Anubis to disappear. Gasping for breath, Pegasus slowly crawled over to the fourth Egyptian God Card, and stared at it. He stared at the card, finally realizing what he had done.
"I've revived the Egyptian God of Life and Death! He's far too powerful for even my Millennium Eye to handle. I must destroy this card, immediately!"
He then picked up the card and flung it into the fireplace he had in the room. Then he quickly turned a knob that turned on the fireplace. The fire began to scorch the fireplace, making Pegasus let out a small relieved sigh. Then he looked into the fireplace to only see in horror that the card wasn't burning. It was just sitting there, with the evil white aura still surrounding it. He then turned off the fireplace and realized he had to take it to the one person who might be able to help him.
Slowly, he let the card cool, and let his assistants know he was heading out on a quick trip. He then loaded the fourth Egyptian God Card into his briefcase and quickly gathered some clothes. After this, he called for a driver to take him to his private airport. Once there, he instructed the pilot to take him to Egypt, where his other private airport was.
