Yuki's POV
"I guess people are avoiding us now since we're so strong." Cleopatra noted.
"Or they're afraid because when you possess my body I look like I just stared in the Ring!" I grumbled.
"Yuki!" I heard someone call.
"Crystal." I smiled "Hannah."
I walked up to my friends from work.
"What are you doing?" Hannah, the blonde asked.
"Wait that thing, are you in that weird tournament going on?" Crystal asked.
"Uhh yeah." I laughed scratching my hair a bit.
"But like, why?" they asked.
"I don't know just felt like it I guess, my cousins deck is mine now and he always wanted to do things like this so…" I smiled "I guess I wanted to as well."
"Oh well isn't that cute, just don't get super nerdy or anything okay, and enjoy the time off." Hannah laughed "Wanna take a break and join us for lunch?"
"Sure." I nodded.
"Get up to the roof now!" Cleopatra snapped.
"What no I'm stopping to."
"NOW!" she snapped "It's most urgent!"
"Actually I have to go." I said stepping away "I'll catch you later."
I went into the office building and got in an elevator aimed for the roof.
"Does this blasted metal box move any faster!" Cleopatra snapped.
"What's got you so pissy?" I asked.
"I sense him…the Pharaoh." She appeared to me in the metal reflection on the elevator door.
"Really?" I asked as the door dinged and I ran up one last flight of stairs before throwing the doors to the roof open.
"Tell me where my friends are!"
I looked around, standing on the roof where three people, the first was a younger boy with a serious look and some serious hair, the other two were in purple cloaks and wearing half masks, one dark and one light.
"What's going on here." I looked across.
"Uhh…which one is the pharaoh?" I asked
"Take a guess." Cleo rolled her eyes.
"Is one of those other guys Malik?" I asked.
"I don't sense his dark presence." She looked around.
"Are you both trying to duel this man?" I asked "GAAAH!"
"I'm taking over for a bit." Cleopatra slipped into my body.
"It has been some time." She looked across at the man "What is your form known as this time?"
"Who are you?" the boy asked.
"Cleopatra." She bowed "We've been assigned to watch over you. These two took your friends you said, very well, we shall both duel them as a tag team!"
"What?!" the shorter masked man snapped "You can't just-."
"Your boss is after these yes." She hissed flashing Anubis.
"Another God Card." They all gasped.
"You shouldn't the roof is in danger of falling in on the loser." The man said.
"We fear no such thing." Cleopatra smiled.
"I very much fear this?!" I jumped back into control "But…you said your friends are in trouble right, we'll known how to help them if we win right?"
"That's right." The boy looked at me.
"Then…okay." I stepped onto the glass "Umm what's your name."
"Yugi." He told me.
"Yuki." I smiled "You already met Cleopatra, she just showed up the other day and ever since it's been one whirlwind after another…but I kinda like it you know."
"Let's Duel!"
Everyone drew their hands.
"I go first." The short man with the Mask of Light.
"Tag team duels alternate sides, one of them, one of us, one of them then one of us." Cleopatra said "Based on position you go last but that means you'll attack first."
"Right." I nodded.
"Hmm. I set two cards face down." Lumis nodded "And end my turn."
The next turn went to Yugi.
"I summon Beta the Magnet warrior in Defense Mode!"
A yellow creature with magnet parts appeared.
Beta the Magnet Warrior: LVL 4 ATK 1700 DEF 1600.
Next was the man in the black mask, Umbra.
"I summon Shining Abyss in defense mode!" he played a card and a metal angel appeared.
Shining Abyss: LVL 4 ATK 1600 DEF 1800.
"I activate one of my facedown cards!" Lumis jumped in "Mask of Brutality!"
"A team combo already." I gulped.
"This spell adds 1000 ATK points to the equipped monster but the owner of the spell has to pay 1000 life points each standby phase.
"but not if I activate the Masked Doll spell card to negate the effects! On ourselves!" Umbra laughed.
"My turn." I drew a card "Then I play Pot of Greed to draw two more cards!"
I added to my hand for seven cards total.
Endymion needs sacrifices…and I can't play Vampire Genesis without Vampire Lord and he's not in my hand…His Shining Abyss is so strong though…
"I summon Pyramid Turtle in Defense mode!"
Pyramid Turtle: LVL 4 ATK 1200 DEF 1400.
"Then I'll play Card of Safe Return!" I nodded "Since I can't attack I'll end my turn."
"Hehehe." Lumis snickered as he drew a card "I play Mask of the Accursed and equip it to Beta the Magnet Warrior. Now the equipped monster can't attack or defend and during each standby phase you take 500 points of damage Yugi! I set a card and end my turn."
"He still didn't summon." Cleopatra squinted.
"Hmm." Yugi drew and lost 500 life points "I'm sacrificing Beta the Magnet Warrior to-."
"I active the Trap Card Mask of Restrict!" Lumis flipped his card "Now there are now tributes left, which means no God Cards!"
I can't even summon Vampire Lord or Genesis now?
"Tsk." Yugi hissed "I'll set a card then paly Kuriboh in Defense Mode!"
Kuriboh: LVL 1 ATK 300 DEF 200.
"My turn." Umbra drew "I shift Shining Abyss to attack mode!"
"Attack Pyramid Turtle!" he ordered.
They want to make Yugi keep taking damage.
"I Activate Multiply!" Yugi triggered a spell that let Kuriboh block for us.
"GAH!" I grabbed my head "Insolent fool!"
Cleopatra took over our body.
"I wanted Pyramid turtle to be destroyed." She growled "You've lost your edge these last few thousand years!"
Cleo drew and added the Card to our hand.
"I set a face down card and end the turn." She sighed looking to Yugi.
"I start with Mask of Dispel to block Multiply deal another 500 damage to Yugi every turn." He laughed as Kuriboh was reduced to one "Then I summon Grand Tiki Elder!"
Grand Tiki Elder: LVL 4 ATK 1500 DEF 800.
"Destroy Kuriboh!" he commands.
"TSK!" Yugi drew and took more damage once his turn started "I set one card."
Yugi's at 2500 life points…we need to hurry.
"I play the Ritual Spell Curse of the Masked Beast!" Umbra started his turn "I tribute Shining Abyss and Grand Tiki Elder to summon The Masked Beast!"
A hulking monster with a scorpion like lower body appeared.
The Masked Beast: LVL 8 ATK: 3200 DEF 1800.
"Now attack Yugi Directly!" he ordered.
"I block with Pyramid turtle." I yelled, as my monster was destroyed "That destroys my monster and allows me to summon a zombie with less than 2000 Defense points, I choose Vampire Lord!"
Vampire Lord: LVL 5 ATK 2000 DEF 1500.
"I trigger a face down, Card Destruction!" Yugi yelled "All players send their hands to the grave and draw the same number of cards."
"We sacrifice our whole hand!" Cleopatra took back over "and since out hand was discarded by another player's card effect the special ability of one of our monsters activates, I special summon Despair from the Dark directly to the field! I also get to draw a card thanks to Card of Safe Return!"
Despair from the Dark: LVL 8 ARK 2800 DEF 3000.
"Just because you have a card like Mask of Restrict doesn't mean I can't summon strong cards!" Cleopatra laughed.
"Unlike people zombie cards always come back." I smiled drawing a card "This-!"
God of Death, Anubis…but I can't summon it without three sacrifices and I only have Vampire Lord and Despair from the Dark…even then Mask of Restrict blocks me from Tribute summoning.
"Attack." Cleopatra told me.
"But-"
"Attack fool!" she snapped.
"Despair from Dark Attacks Masked Beast!"
"Are you a fool!" Umbra yelled "My monster is still stronger."
"I also activate an effect from the Graveyard!" Yugi yelled "Beast of Gilfer was sent to the graveyard it can be equipped to a monster to in order to lower its attack by 500 points!"
"What?!" he gasped as his beast fell to 2700.
"Despair from the Dark Shadow Grip!" I yelled.
The shadow engulfed his monster and crushed it, dealing 100 points of damage.
I ended my turn, Lumis followed up by simply playing a face down monster and setting two cards.
"Draw!" Yugi pulled a card and took another 1000 points of damage from the masks, he was now down to 1500 "I play a face down and summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior!"
Alpha the Magnet Warrior: LVL 4 ATK 1400 DEF 1700.
"Attack his face down monster." Yugi commanded taking out their last defense.
"I draw!" Umbra started "I summon Rouge Doll!"
Rouge Doll: LVL 4 ATK 1600 DEF 1000
The bizarre floating creature formed and started to attack Despair from Dark.
"I activate Mask of Weakness!" Lumis yelled "It decreases the attack of your monster by 700!"
"Still not enough!" Cleopatra took over "Despair from the Dark still have 2100 attack points!"
"I have another Mask of Brutality!"
"Shit." She hissed as the doll went to 2600 ATK.
"I activate Mystical Refpanel!" Yugi yelled "And switch the target of your spell to Despair from the Dark!"
"RAH!" Despair was powered up and destroyed the doll, plummeting Umbra's life even more.
"I go draw!" I yelled taking over.
This…all this back and forth…it's really fun!
The masks wore off and Despair returned to normal strength.
"Attack Umbra directly and finish this!" I yelled.
"I play a face down Mask of Impregnability!" Umbra yelled "So I take no damage from direct attacks for this turn!"
"Tsk, what a pain." Cleo hissed taking back over "We should have attacked the other one, it's not like he would have helped his friend. I end the turn."
"I play Pot of Greed!" Lumis started his turn drawing more cards "I set a card and then activate Card Exchange and switch hands with another player, in this case my partner."
"He traded no cards for three." Cleopatra smirked.
"Next I play Chosen one!" Lumis said as a spinner appeared around the duel area with three cards displayed "This card spins and selects one of these cards, if it's a monster it gets summoned on the spot!"
"Hmm…" we all watched the spinner turn more and more before it slowed to a stop and flipped the front card.
"YES!" he yelled as a three-headed beast appeared.
Masked Beast Des Gardius: LVL 8 ATK 3300 DEF 2500.
"Attack Magnet Warrior-."
"Are you sure you want to do that and not get rid of Despair?" Cleopatra asked "After all I have a card in my hand that could make it strong enough to destroy it."
"Don't do that!" I yelled as she booted my back into control as our monster was destroyed and I took the 500 points of damage.
"I draw!" Yugi yelled as his life plummeted to just 500 points.
"If we don't win on the next turn Pharaoh will fall through the ceiling on his next turn's standby phase." Cleopatra said "We can win…but he must play two cards."
"I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior and immediately combine it with Alpha and Beta to summon Valkyrion the Magna Warrior!" Yugi yelled.
Valkyrion the Magna Warrior: LVL 8 ATK 3500 DEF 3850.
"I set a card, then Valkyrion attacks Masked Beast Des Gardius!" Yugi said dealing damage and taking out Lumis Monster and making him go to 3800 Life Points.
"I activate the effect of Mask of Remnants!" Lumis yelled "Since Des Gardius was destroyed I can take over the card the destroys it!"
"We're close…" Cleopatra whispered.
"I draw and play Masquerade!" Umbra yelled "I can take control of any card wearing a mask so I now control Valkyrion! Now attack Yugi directly!"
"I activate the face down card De-Fusion!" Yugi yelled "This separates Valkyrion back to his parts!"
"I go!" Cleopatra yelled still holding control "It's the end! I activate Soul Exchange so I can tribute your monsters as if they were mine!"
"I tribute all three Magnet Warriors in order to summon God of Death Anubis!"
Cleopatra slapped a dark purple card down. The sky itself rumbled and darkened as it felt like the ground shook.
This…is a God Card…
"HMMM!" a blinding gust of sand covered our eyes but as it drifted away a hulking giant with the head of a dog but the body of man stood behind the building holding a long two handed staff with a skull on one end.
God of Death Anubis: LVL 10 ATK 3500 DEF 4500.
"Next I activate Anubis Effect!" she laughed "I give up 1000 Life Points and destroy every single Spell and Trap on the field and the owners take 250 points of damage for each card they lost! Death Pact!"
My life points dipped to 2500 Anubis tapped his staff on the ground and every single spell and trap card was blow away by a powerful black sandstorm.
"You're out of protection!" she yelled "Wipe Him out Anubis!"
The dog giant held out his staff and the eyes on the skull glowed blasting forward to eliminate Umbra.
"You have no life points remaining!" Cleopatra yelled "You were a fool to challenge us!"
The bomb at the back of his window blew up and shattered the glass, sending him plummeting own.
"Oh my god!" I gasped.
"You're next." She gave Lumis a dark glare.
"Ha…AHH!" he tried to run away.
"There's no reason for threats like that" Yugi said "It tarnishes your humanity and honor as a Duelist."
"My…you've grow quite soft over these many centuries." Cleopatra smirked.
"You…know who I am." He asked.
"You could say that." She kept speaking through me "I'm the one that had you erased, but the gods weren't very fond of that so now I serve them in death, this is my host Yuki."
"Hello." I was allowed back to my body.
"GAHH!"
"He's making quite the fuss?" Cleopatra noted.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked "It's like when Cleopatra tries to use my body."
"I got to see another God Card." The shot masked man stood up "Anubis, so that's there it was hiding, in the hands of someone who knows not what she deals in. It's power was quite something."
"Marik!" Yugi yelled "Stop hiding behind others and show yourself!"
"He's Marik?" I asked "The one I'm supposed to protect this card from?"
"He's possessed." Yugi noted "By Marik, the leader of the Rare Hunters and the owner of the Final God Card, The Winger Dragon of Ra."
"It's wonderful to meet you Miss Yuki, and your other partner." He said.
"Tsk, I feel gross just talking to him." I shivered.
"I thank you for getting rid of my weak underlings." Marik spoke through his hunter "They were simply here to buy me some time, my plan is on schedule. These hunters let me see all your decks had to offer, you now have no way of beating me. More over my Ra is the most powerful of the God Cards."
Seriously?!
"There is one more thing Yugi, it relates to our 3000-year-old feud." He said "You will perish at my hand and ease my tribes anger. I even prepared a few extra soldiers for my team. The ones you call friends are already under my control. They're wonderful puppets now come to them Yugi!"
"Marik!" Yugi yelled as the man went limp.
"You're friends were taken?" I asked picking the Locator Cards off Luminas "I'm all done dueling, so let me help you, I think it's what I'm supposed to do."
"We don't even know where to start…" Yugi paused.
Before I could suggest anything a Helicopter flew up and landed on the roof with us, Kaiba the man running this tournament stepped out accompanied by a Young boy.
"He's the one with the Last God Card." Cleopatra said "I can feel it, three of the four are in one place…things are going to get dangerous."
