Hey everyone. Thanks for all the comments, and I'm glad that this chapter shocked a lot of people. Indeed, Anubis, the God of Life and Death, was the big surprise monster I had held for Gozaburo. The story behind it will be explained on through this chapter, so I hope you all will enjoy it. Anyways, I'm glad the idea went over well. What all this Egyptian God Card can do is still a mystery, but I'm sure it will all be revealed soon. Till then, it's time to write out the reviews.
Ultimate Legendary Master: I know, and I'm sorry, but the story has to continue on. Hopefully you'll have a good vacation and when you get back, you'll get to finish up reading this story. As for the sequel, I'm unsure at the moment when I'll start posting it. It won't be long though. Have a good vacation though.
x-knight20: Could have, or he went to that one hot dog shop there. You know, the one that serves white whine spritzers with your hot dog, lol.
Isis the Sphinx: The Egyptian Gods are somewhat scared of Anubis for other reasons. Possibly due that they know his true power, and that alone, they're nothing compared to him. But maybe together…
Ryon Nakura: Shame on you Ryou for scaring Ryon like that. Secretly hands him a twenty and whispers "Good job." Sniffs air and looks at Ryon. Eww! Why the hell did you wet yourself?
Berry Kisses: It's hard to tell, lol. Of course, if you're referring to a comment I made, who knows, hehe.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Yes, there is a fourth one, at least in my story, lol. Indeed, the card is immortal. So far, it has no weaknesses, but that's so far. Maybe, just maybe, the further we get, the more weaknesses will show up. Or maybe Illidan will learn that it has no weaknesses. Who knows, well, other than me or Pegasus or Gozaburo, lol. Btw, thanks for the pm, and I thought about doing something like that, but unfortunately, when Anubis is destroyed, the card would go too. Unless the card returned, it would be good for one shot. Sorry about not reviewing yet. I've been meaning to get to that, but life happens. I usually get inside at 9 at night thanks to having to help watch our horses, then I get my shower and talk with Cindy, then go to bed. In the morning, I only have an hour to get ready and also write my reviews. Lol, basically, it's hard to squeeze in reading time. But I'll get to it this weekend, seeing how I'll be home alone, at long last, meaning nothing to do! Anyways, I'll get to it, so don't get discouraged.
Fire Princess: Actually, I brought him back. Never again though will I carry him on my back. He's too heavy!
Tomb Robber Vicky: Thanks. I thought maybe creating another card would help solidify why Gozaburo was so confident, and wanting Illidan to control all three Egyptian God Cards.
Strawberry Cake: I'm shocked at you accusing me Ryou. I'd never pull the plug on an old lady. Even if the nurse told me I could… Smiles to reveal fangs. Nope, I'm innocent.
Brianna Ishtar: I'll put two hundred on Marik. Too bad for you Brianna, you're betting for the one who won't win, lol.
sweetxokissesxo: Oh really Ryou? Well, too bad! I felt like shredding something, so I shredded that book. Besides, all it had was words in it. Just write them down again. That way I can shred a new one sooner or later. Watches Ryon take creampuff and smash it on Ryou's face. Ah, I was going to do that. You take all my fun Ryon.
pink-kiss-candy: I didn't. I bet I know who did. Glares at… Brianna! Wait, that makes no sense. Tries again and glares at… a pine stump. That damn pine stump did it! I know it did! Sees everyone sweet drop at the comment.
Hope you all enjoy this next chapter. The epic battle of Illidan and Gozaburo continues on, with Illidan holding all three Egyptian God Cards and Gozaburo holding the fourth one. Can three conquer the one, or will one obliterate three? Feels like the guy at the end of DBZ. Tune in next time to find out the results of the next thrilling chapter of Tournament of Power! And if you don't, I'll slash you with my claws!
Lol, but seriously, I do hope you all enjoy this chapter. I'll be back Monday morning once more, so till then, later you all.
Chapter 134
Pegasus's private jet soon enough touched down in Egypt. He had called ahead to have a driver ready to take him to his destination. The driver then took him to a market place, where Pegasus got out and quickly took his briefcase with him. Slowly, he waded through the people in the market to a specific set of stairs. This is where he had met Shadi only a few months or better. He entered a door and quickly called for Shadi.
Shadi soon enough appeared before him, saying "Why Mr. Pegasus, I never expected to see you so soon again. How are you my friend?"
Pegasus quickly said in a voice of fear "I have no time for pleasantries. I need your help."
Shadi then got serious and said "What is wrong…"
Suddenly he stopped in mid-sentence when he sensed a powerful aura coming from Pegasus's briefcase. He stared at the briefcase, trying to figure out what he was feeling. He then said to Pegasus in a calm voice "You recreated an Egyptian God I see. Which is it?"
Pegasus was slightly shaking and said "I recreated Anubis… He's far more powerful than the others."
Shadi only looked curiously at Pegasus, and asked "Anubis? I've never heard of that Egyptian Monster."
Pegasus then quickly explained, leaving no details out on what happened and what he had learned. Shadi then was in great fear as well when he heard the whole story.
Pegasus then said "We must find some place to put this card! It's too powerful for me to keep guard over! I can't even control it! There must be someplace to put it!"
Shadi thought for a moment, and then something registered from memories of old. Sighing, he then said "There is one place. Come, I will take you there. Bring that accursed card with you."
Slowly, they made their way to the ancient tomb where Pegasus had gotten his Millennium Eye. There, Shadi took him to the back of the tomb. Once there, he pressed a piece of the wall in. A door then slid open, revealing a rather dark and evil feeling room. Pegasus shuddered at the power he felt from the room. He prepared to enter, but Shadi stopped him.
"No, don't go in. Just throw that card in there. The evil in there is far too strong for you to withstand. Just throw the card towards the middle of the room." instructed Shadi.
Pegasus then opened up his briefcase and grabbed the fourth Egyptian God Card. Quickly, Pegasus picked it up and threw it into the room towards the middle. The evil white aura showed from the card as it was tossed in, and even after it landed both could see the evil aura. Shadi then hit the switch again and the door closed. Both then breathed a sigh of relief.
Pegasus then slowly backed up, and said "Well, that is it I guess. We're done."
Shadi slowly nodded, saying "I would advise you to be careful Pegasus. The other three Egyptian God's aren't as strong as that one was, but I wouldn't revive them if I was you. Do as you like, but I would advise you not to even try to finish them."
Pegasus only smirked and said "The others I won't make the same mistake with. I'll be in full control of them. Now, I'm off to finish the three. Thank you again Shadi."
Then Pegasus headed towards the door to leave the tomb. Shadi only shook his head at the ignorance of Pegasus, but then continued on with his scroll writing.
Then the vision moved forward to another time in the tomb. Shadi was there writing on a scroll again, when suddenly the tomb rocked with an explosion. Shadi was slightly buried in the rubble of the explosion. Slowly, he got out of the rubble to only hear someone laughing in the back tomb. Quickly, Shadi ran towards the door that hid the back room. He peaked through a peep hole to only see inside a man holding the Millennium Crown and the fourth Egyptian God Card. Shadi then hit the panel on the wall to open up the door, but the door wouldn't open. Kicking on the door, Shadi attempted to get in.
He then screamed at the man "PLEASE, LEAVE THAT CROWN AND THE CARD BEHIND! THEY'RE FAR TOO POWERFUL FOR A NORMAL PERSON!" He only heard a chorus of laughter, one which he slightly remembered. Finally, Shadi then took his Millennium Key and stretched it out at the door. Pouring power into it, he blew the walled door away.
Quickly, he ran in to find the man in a business suit leaving on a ladder. One thing though registered in his mind. The face he saw. It was the face of the man he had known as Gozaburo Tark. How it could be, he wasn't sure. Quickly, he then raised his Millennium Key up at the man and fired a blast of Shadow Magic at him. The Millennium Crown instantly blocked the blast and knocked Shadi into the wall. Gozaburo only laughed as he finally climbed out and got into a nearby helicopter. Shadi laid there in pain, feeling blood running down his forehead.
The vision then ended, as Gozaburo laughed manically. "Understand everything now Illidan?" he asked mockingly.
Illidan only stood there in shock. "The fourth Egyptian God Card and the Millennium Crown together have made Gozaburo nearly invincible. How can I defeat both of them?"
Marie saw that Illidan was in shock, and cried out "Illidan, you defeated him once, and you can do it again. Don't let him frighten you!"
Illidan seemed to come out of his shock and nodded. Staring at the fourth Egyptian God Card across the field, he then began to think of ways to get rid of it again. "If I can remove it from play, it may stay gone. I just have to find a way to get a monster out that can do it." Glancing at his hand, he realized he did have two ways to do it. He could either use his D.D. Warrior Lady and hope that Gozaburo attacked it, or he could summon a monster and use Dark Renewal in order to bring back Dark Magician of Chaos, which had the ability to remove a monster from play when attacking. Either way, Illidan had to do something.
"Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack Anubis the God of Life and Death with your Thunder Force!" commanded Illidan. Gozaburo smiled evilly as Slifer opened it's large mouth to create a ball of tremendous energy. Finally, Slifer let loose his powerful blast which easily struck the Egyptian God of Life and Death. The monster seemed to not even flinch as he was blown away by the awesome power of Slifer.
Illidan then said "Now I activate my Deck Master's special ability. Slifer the Sky Dragon, direct attack Gozaburo's life points and end this duel with your Thunder…"
Gozaburo then yelled "Not so fast Illidan! I activate the trap card known as Physical Double! This trap card allows me to special summon a monster known as Mirage Token. This token allows me to copy one monster on your side of the field, and keep it on my side of the field. Guess which monster I want!"
Illidan gasped as a copy of Slifer then appeared on the field. The copy was rather ugly looking. It was green rather than red like the almighty Egyptian God. It was obvious how big a fake it was, but still, a fake with power, for it had the same stats as the original Slifer (4000/4000). Illidan slightly growled and looked at his field.
He then had an idea. Chuckling, he then said "Alright Gozaburo. Now I play Monster Reborn, bringing back my weaker Sinister Serpent (300/250) in defense mode." The small serpent like creature then reappeared on the field, flicking it's tongue in and out at Gozaburo. Slifer then roared as his power slightly left him (3000/3000).
Illidan then smiled and said "Next I activate my trap card, Dark Renewal! This trap allows me to sacrifice one monster on my side of the field, as well as one of yours. So, now I sacrifice my Sinister Serpent along with your Mirage Token!" A cross shaped coffin then appeared on the field. It opened and sucked in both the small serpent and Gozaburo's fake Egyptian God Token. Once they were inside, the coffin then began to glow.
"Now for the second part of this trap's effect. Once I made a double sacrifice, I'm allowed to special summon one spellcaster type monster from my Graveyard. So, I choose my Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600)!" The coffin then opened to reveal the powerful mage inside with his eyes closed. Once the doors opened fully, he then opened his eyes as his magical aura flared to life. He jumped out and took a fighting stance on the field.
"The best part about bringing this monster back is I can now return one magic card from my Graveyard. Now, I return my Monster Reborn to my hand." Illidan said. As he placed his card back in his hand, Slifer roared once again as his power increased once again (4000/4000).
Illidan then decided to make one last move. Calmly, he said "Finally, I'll place my The Creator Incarnate (1600/1500) in defense mode." The golden armored warrior then appeared in a one knee position with his arms crossed. Slifer then let out a roar as it slowly lost it's attack points (3000/3000).
"That shall end my move." (Gozaburo 2550, Illidan 8500)
Gozaburo only chuckled and then drew. Suddenly his Graveyard glowed again, and the fourth Egyptian God Card shot back out of it. Laughing, Gozaburo then said "Now return to me my powerful Anubis, The God of Life and Death (2000/2000)!" Anubis then returned to the field in attack mode. He then glared at Slifer, which trembled with great fear.
Illidan only chuckled. "You've done it again Gozaburo. Slifer, blast Anubis with your second mouth!" Slifer once again quite trembling and opened it's second mouth. Then a blast of energy poured from it, heading straight at Anubis.
Gozaburo smirked and then said "Before your attack hits, I'll now activate the magic card from my hand known as Card Guard! This card allows me to discard one card from my hand in order to defend my monster. So, I discard my Skull-Mark Ladybug to the Graveyard for Card Guard!" A huge shield with a card on it then appeared. The blast struck the shield, but as the blast subsided, it became apparent that Slifer's blast had failed to get through.
Gozaburo then laughed and said "See Illidan, I know better than take a chance against you. Also, since I sent my Skull-Mark Ladybug to the Graveyard, I gain 1000 life points." Slowly, Marie's body then began to be rebuilt by the burst of life points. "Now I use my Deck Master's special ability. At a cost of 1000 life points, I can special summon one monster with 1500 or less defense points from my Deck to my field. So, I choose my Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier (1500/1000) in attack mode!" A man in a black robe and a spear then appeared on the field. With his summoning, Marie screamed in pain as the part of her body that had just been returned slowly faded away.
Illidan growled at Gozaburo for doing that to her, and then yelled "That was foolish, because now Slifer can blast your monster. Slifer, use your second mouth now!" Slifer then roared and fired a blast at the robed man.
Gozaburo grinned evilly and then said "I don't think so! I activate Anubis's special effect. Now Anubis, I sacrifice my Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier to absorb his points as yours (3500/3000)!" The robed man disappeared and Anubis started to glow with power. Slifer's blast then flew off into the Shadow Realm and made a small explosion.
Gozaburo only chuckled as Illidan slightly growled in frustration as Slifer had missed. Gozaburo only grinned at Illidan and said "Don't look so distraught Illidan. You'll soon loose your friends. Now, I end my move." (Gozaburo 2550, Illidan 8500)
Illidan looked at Gozaburo with a puzzled look. "Odd he'd do that. Why didn't he attack my Dark Magician of Chaos, or even Slifer. Heck, he could have even attacked my The Creator Incarnate. It's hard to tell though why he didn't attack." Illidan then drew his card. Looking at it, he smiled at his Mirror Force. Slifer then roared as his strength once again increased (4000/4000).
"In my Standby Phase, my Sinister Serpent's special effect is triggered. Now I can return him to my hand, thus raising Slifer's points even more (5000/5000)!" Slifer roared even louder as his strength once again increased. "Now I sacrifice my The Creator Incarnate for The Creator (2300/3000) in defense mode! Thanks to The Creator Incarnate's special effect, I can summon The Creator without a double sacrifice." The golden armored warrior then disappeared and the powerful golden monster with a huge ring that had wings attached to it's back appeared in it's place. Slifer then let out a lower roar as his power decreased once again (4000/4000).
Gozaburo then burst out into a maniacal laughter and said "You've triggered Anubis's special effect! Now, like Slifer, he shall automatically attack a monster you summon or special summon with a blast that drains away 2000 of their attack or defense points, pending on the mode the monster is in. Anubis, use your Life Drain!" Illidan was shocked as Anubis's eyes then glowed with power. He then pulled his right arm back and then punched it forward, opening his palm as he did so. A blast of pure energy then was fired across the field. The blast quickly struck the powerful golden monster, causing it to scream in pain as it's points decreased (2300/1000). Once the blast subsided, the golden monster still appeared on the field, but part of his wings had been blasted off by Anubis. Also, there were some scratches and scars now visible on the monster. It was considerably weaker thanks to the attack by Anubis.
Illidan slightly growled and looked at the field. Now he had something to really worry about with Anubis. "Already Anubis has displayed that he has powers from both Slifer and Ra. I just wonder how truly powerful this Egyptian God Card is." Looking at his hand, he decided he'd better get rid of Anubis while he could still.
Calling out his commands, Illidan said "Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack Anubis now with your Thunder Force!" Slifer then roared as he opened his huge mouth. The powerful sphere of energy began to form in the dragon's mouth. Finally, Slifer spat the blast at Anubis.
As the blast neared, Gozaburo only began to chuckle. Finally, he said "I activate one of Anubis's special effects! Now I transfer 550 life points to him in order to raise his attack and defense points (4050/3550)!"
Illidan was shocked at this statement. Anubis then glowed with power as his points then rose. Marie only could scream in pain as yet more of her body disappeared. "Yet another special ability from Ra! This isn't good."
Gozaburo then let loose a maniacal laugh and said "Anubis, counter attack with your Judgment of Death attack on Slifer the Sky Dragon!" Anubis then put both arms together and put his palms facing Slifer. Then he smiled evilly and pushed energy into his palms. Two white spheres formed on his palms, and then they merged into one white blast. Then the single blast was fired directly at Slifer's Thunder Force. The blast tore through the Thunder Force, causing it to shower the field. Then the powerful blast continued on, striking Slifer in the head. Slifer howled in pain as the blast caused a huge explosion.
Illidan was shocked to see his Egyptian God struck. "NOO!" he cried out as Slifer fell to the field and then exploded into millions of pieces. The explosion caused a rather large wind to form on the field. Illidan covered his face as the wind finally calmed down. On the other side of the field, Gozaburo stood there laughing. Illidan could only growl in frustration over the loss of his Egyptian God Card.
On the wall, everyone gasped at Slifer's destruction. Seto soon said "Impossible! That Egyptian God is far stronger than Illidan's monsters will ever be!"
Joey agreed, saying "There seems to be no weakness to that Egyptian God. Illidan is in real trouble now."
Yami only stared on, trying to figure out a way for Illidan to get out of this mess. Yugi interrupted his thoughts by saying "He'll find a way. Don't forget guys, he still has two other Egyptian Gods at his disposal as well."
The others slowly nodded, but still, none were too sure of what Illidan would do.
Back on the field, Illidan stood there in slight shock. "Without Slifer, I'm in real trouble now. And with a stronger monster to contend with on the other side of the field, how long can I hold on?" Putting those thoughts out of his head, he decided to just continue on and try to take down Anubis.
Taking a deep breath, he then said "Alright Gozaburo, I now set one card face down and end my turn." (Gozaburo 2050, Illidan 8450)
