LVIII. Pharaoh's Justice

The duel comes to a close and now the stats: Yugi has 2450 life pints left, five cards in hand, one set card that he hasn't used yet and no monsters on the field. Nite Mare on the other hand has 1400 life points, has 3 cards in his hand.On his field are Helios Tris Megistis with 3900 attack point equip with the magic of Fairy Meteor Crush, and the continous Trap Card: Macro Cosmos. In life points, Yugi is in the lead but due to Nite Mare's monster, the tables have turned and now it's Yugi's turn to draw a card. Everyone hopes that he would get the right card.

"It's my turn now, draw!" Yugi declared and drew his sixth card. He stared at it for a while and then smirks. "I activate the Magic Card: Graceful Charity to draw 3 cards from my deck and discard 2 from my hand". With a flourish, Yugi drew 3 cards then he discrded 2 cards in his hand leaving him with 7 cards in all.

"...I summon Magical Scientist (300 ATK 300 DEF) in attack mode" Yugi added and a man who wore a laboratory coat appeared on his side of the field, grinning at Nite Mare.

"Yugi, what the hell is this moron?" Kaiba said in a mocking tone. Magical Scientist was not pleased at that remark

"Just watch..." Yugi said. "Now I activate its special effect: By paying 1000 of my life points, I can Special Summon one level 6 or lower Fusion Monster from my fusion deck in face-up Attack or Defense Position. The bad side is I can't attack that Fusion Monster to attack my opponent directly and it'll returned to my Fusion deck at the end of my turn".

"What?Is he nuts? Paying his life points to bring a fusion monster!" Jounouchi exclaimed

"Maybe but what Fusion Monster can he use for the effect of Magical Scientist?" Atemu said, arms crossing

"Special Summon Dark Flare Knight (2200 ATK 800 DEF) in attack mode" Yugi declared as his life points went down to 1450 then on his side of the field emerged a warrior wearing dark robes and carrying a huge black shield and a flaming sword

"Whoa, that monster...I think I know what's next" Jounouchi said in awe

"Do you know anything about this monster?' Bakura asked

"It seems so" Jounouchi replied

"Dark Flare Knight attack Helios Tris Megistus! Dark Flare Saber!" Yugi declared and Dark Flare Knight's sword began to glow then he cahrged at Nite Mare's monster

Nite Mare laughed loudly at this. "Do you really think that you can defeat my ultimate monster" he pointed out. "There's no way you could win against a strong attack power"

"Watch me" Yugi grated and to everyone's surprise, Dark Flare Knight did attack and of course, Nite Mare's monster did a counterattack and Yugi's monster was destroyed. The field is gone into a smoke

"Oh well, he want to commit to a suicide of his monster then" Nite Mare mused. "So much for tha----what the freakin' hell is that?"

Materalizing from Yugi's field was a monster carrying a scythe in one hand. "Meet my most powerful monster in my deck, the Mirage Knight (2800 ATK 2000 DEF)" Yugi's voice came through his opponent and it seems that it emerged from his deck. "I forgot to tell you that when Dark Flare Knight is destroyed as a result of battle, I can Special Summon Mirage Knight from my deck or from my hand. At my End Phase, I have to remove this card from play but this is all I need"

"I activate another card from my hand, Activate Magic Card: Banner of Courage!" Yugi added and numerous flags appeared on his side of the field."During my Battle Phase, I can increase all my monsters attack by 200 points"

"If my math is correct, Mirage Knight's attack is only 3000. It's not enough" Malik said, frowning

"Next I activate another Magic Card: Mage Power, For every Magic and Trap Card on the field, the equipped monster's attack will increased by 500 points including itself" Yugi added again and now Mirage Knight has 4000 ATK (A/N: It's already added due to Banner of Courage)

"Let's see with Banner of Courage Mirage Knight's attack is 3000 plus 1000 due to Mage Power then if he declares battle with Helios Tris Megistus and Nite Mare has 1400 life points left then that would mean..." Kristine frowned in mid-sentence

"Nite Mare would still have life points left" Kaiba grated. "Yugi, don't you have anything to make his life points go zero already"

"Don't fret, Kaiba I still have 4 cards left in my hand and its time for a little surprise...I've been saving this for a while and its time to show its power. Activate Trap Card: Judgement of the Pharaoh!" Yugi declared as his face down card finally revealed itself. It has the image of Atemu in the past and it went to his side of the field.

"In order for me to activate this card, I must pay half of my life points to do it" Yugi added as the pharoah took his life force as his life points went down to 725

"Next, I'm going to activate its power: When Yu-Jo Friendship is in the graveyard, my opponent cannot Normal, Special, Set, and Flip Summon or activate a monster's effect. In addition, all monster effects are negated until the end of this turn. I'm not actually aiming at the summoning conditions but I'm aiming at Helios Tris Megistus' effect which is when its destroyed as a result of battle, you can Special Summon it during the End Phase" Yugi said crossly and all of a sudden Helios Tris Megistus' lost its revival power. Nite Mare was in shock

"H-h-h-h-h-h-how did you know that my monster can be still be Special Summon?" Nite Mare sputtered

"...It's too obvious...a little bird told me" Yugi said and he indicated the Judgement of Pharaoh Trap card as the image vanished.

"I'm not finished yet. I activate the Magic Card: Yu-Jo Friendship" Yugi added and as he played the card, images of his other self in his school clothes and on the other side is Jounouchi appeared.(A/N: Weird name, I like the japanese better)

"Wait a minute, what happened to that-----" Nite Mare complained

"Oh...that I had 2 of these cards so I send one of them to the graveyard for Graceful Charity's effect" Yugi said and he continued his turn

"In order for me to activate this card, I must offer a handshake to my opponent" Yugi smirked, crossing his arms

"WHAT!" Jounouchi said in exasperation

"Are you crazy?" Mai pouted

"This is nuts" Kristine said, covering her face in shame

"You have got to be kidding!" Bakura exclaimed

"I don't like this" Malik said, frowning

"WHAT THE FREAKIN' HELL ARE YOU THINKING!" Kaiba yelled in exasperation but Yugi didn't care

"...Hehehehehe, all of them have no idea what that card does" Atemu snickered

"What's the catch?" Nite Mare asked, frowning

"Nothing... just to tell you that you still have the advantage and if I attack wih Mirage Knight, you'll only get 100 direct damage to your life points" Yugi stated and Nite Mare knew he was right. "Of course, the acivation of my magic card depends on my opponent anyway"

"He does have a point and if he attacks I still have the advantage. He really wants a death wish" Nite Mare thought then he decided

"Alright, I accept your terms" Nite Mare said and he shook hands to Yugi much to everyone's disgust

"...You fell for it...SUCKER!" Yugi laughed nastily and Atemu began to giggle

"What going on? Why are you guys laughing?" Mai asked

"Since my opponent accept the handshake, each of the player's life points become half of the combined life points of both players" Yugi replied. "Since I have 725 life points and Nite Mare has 1400 life points so the total is 2125 divided by 2 equal to 1063 life points" (A/N: It's actually 1062.5 but I rounded it off to avoid confusion)

"That was the...sneakiest thing I have ever seen" Malik laughed

"I can't believe he fell for it" Jounouchi said, trying to suppress his laughter

"I would have done the same thing" Kaiba chuckled

"Next, I activate the Magic Card: Monster Reborn to revive Dark Magician (2500 ATK 2100 DEF) to the graveyard" Yugi decalred and Dark Magician emerged looking very angry and serious

"OH NO!" Nite Mare yelled in dismay

"Say good bye to you Life points, Mirage Knight attack Helios Tris Megistus with Final Scythe Slash!" Yugi declared and due to the magic card: Banner of Courage, its attack went up by 200 points so Yugi's monster destoyed it and Nite Mare's Life points went down to 863.

"Dark Magician, finish it now with Dark Magic" Yugi declared and Dark Magician fired its staff blasting Nite Mare as his life points went to zero.

"It's time to go back where once you came" Yugi said and suddenly Halakti appeared in front of everyone. She point her hand at Nite Mare and blasted him to smithereens then she turned to the others

"It's over...Nite Mare will never return and the damage he inflicted will vanished restoring everything that has been lost" Halakti said to them

"Thank you" Yugi said and then she vanished plus the whole field. Yugi's Egyptian form vanished as well and they were back on the same tomb.

"Glad's that's over..what..." Jounouchi said when suddenly they felt earthquake

"Oh no!" Atemu said as everyone were evacuating hoping that they would get out in one piece
