Battle City: The REAL End of the Tournament

A/N: Can't believe I was an idiot and didn't record the three part Four Way Free-For-All in the DVR. That would help so much with the ideas I've got for a fan-fiction that brings Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, and Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal together.

From here, I'll be following "Clash in the Coliseum". (At least until part 2, and maybe not "Word-For-Word")

Chapter three: Control Chaos

Yami stood silent in the elevator, while Yugi stared down to the floor.

'Yugi, I understand you're worried for Joey. But we mustn't let our concern for his well being interfere with our duel against Kaiba.'

'But, Joey beat Marik. He doesn't have power to control people or send them to the Shadow Realm anymore.'

'So true little one. So why are you crying?'

'Because I'm worried Joey might not make it.'

'He will. Joey is a strong competitor.'

As the elevator came to a stop, Yugi's image disappeared. Slowly, Yami stepped out onto the platform.

"Heh. It took you long enough, fool." Kaiba sneered. "So tell me Yugi, why didn't the Nerd Herd come to cheer on their leader? Are they too busy trying to wake Wheeler up from his little nap? Ha ha ha!"

"Joey is fighting for his life now. He is in more danger than someone with your lust for power could ever realize!"

"Wheeler never should've been here in the first place. I warned him not to play with the big boys. And if you ask me, that kid got just what he deserved, and was asking for: A punch in the face by Ra. And if getting attacked by an Egyptian God didn't knock any sense into him then nothing will."

"Kaiba, you have no idea just how dangerous this Duel Monsters tournament of yours had become until Joey defeated Marik." Yami clutched a fist angrily.

"Whatever you say, Your Majesty," Kaiba hissed, emphasizing 'Your Majesty'

"The last Semi-Final battle will now begin," Roland stated, holding up his hand. "I repeat: This duel will end the Semi-Finals."

Kaiba started pressing buttons on his Duel Disk.

"Observe the latest in holographic technology. I think you'll find this environment quite fitting."

Yami gasped as rainbow-colored light swirled around them both.

"Explain."

"I just want to take you down in style Yugi, so observe." The light vanished, to be replaced with a full circular holographic arena.

"Welcome to Duelist Coliseum!"

Around the two of them, the fans chanted: "Go Kaiba! Go Kaiba!"

"In ancient times Roman Gladiators would battle to their doom just to prove who was the strongest," Kaiba stated. "Now it's our turn to see which one of us deserves to call himself the greatest in the entire world. Now, draw your first card and let the battle begin."

"With pleasure Kaiba," Yami stared at his hand.

'Everything is riding on this duel. So, I've got to stay focused and win this.'

"Now Kaiba, I summon: Queen's Knight in Defense Mode." A blonde woman clad in red, holding a shield bearing the four Chance symbols, appeared in a kneeling position. "Then, I place a card facedown. Your move."

Kaiba grinned slightly as he drew his card.

'I've drawn my Egyptian God on my first turn. Crushing Yugi will be easier than I thought.'

"I play my X-Head Cannon, in Attack Mode." A legless blue robot with dual blasters on its shoulders appeared.

"Next I play a Magic card. Does it look familiar?"

"Spell Sanctuary!" Kaiba grinned from across the field.

"Yes and it allows us both to move one Magic card from our Deck to our Hand. So, it seems you were wrong when you said I never help anyone out but myself Yugi." Having chosen his card, Kaiba added: "Now, choose the Magic card I was nice enough to allow you to have, then I can move on!"

'That was weird. Why would Kaiba want to give me instant access to my favorite Magic card: Change of Heart? Whatever card he chose must have been worth it.'

"I play this facedown and end my turn." Kaiba was grinning from his side of the field.

Yami gazed at the cards in his hand.

'Kaiba's X-Head Cannon is stronger than my Queen's Knight, so why didn't he attack me when he had the chance? He must be up to something.'

"Now I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior, in Defense Mode. Then I play one more facedown card."

'If Yugi thinks he can hide behind those ridiculous monsters of his, this duel will be over even sooner than I thought.'

"Now, I draw!" Kaiba grinned as he stared at his cards.

'Excellent! Everything is falling right into place.'

"First off, I'll play this Magic card: Soul Exchange."

"That's why you spared my queen!"

"Very perceptive." The card threw a pair of energy beams toward Yugi's monsters, that wrapped around them.

"Thanks to my Soul Exchange Magic card, both of your monsters now belong to me!" Kaiba clenched his fist and said: "Now come forth my monsters!" The two cards were dragged over to Kaiba's side of the field.

"Not so fast Kaiba! I reveal my facedown card: Change of Heart!"

"No!"

"Thanks to my Magic card's effect, you no longer have three monsters to sacrifice!" X-Head Cannon drifted over to Yami's side of the field.

"Now your X-Head Cannon belongs to me for one turn, and the tables have turned in my favor, as I have control of the strongest monster in play. Kaiba, you won't summon Obelisk that easily. Now go!"

"Heh. So you prevented one move, I've got plenty more, like this one: Reveal facedown card: Enemy Controller!" A grey control pad with a directional pad and three buttons appeared before Kaiba.

"What?"

"For the price of a thousand Life Points, this control pad allows me to take command of one of your monsters." Kaiba adopted a determined glower as he shouted the command code.

"Enemy Controller activate: Left, Right, A, B!" The respective buttons seemed to press themselves as Kaiba shouted the command code for the game pad to enter. Across the field, X-Head Cannon's eyes glowed brightly.

"Now, bring my monster back to my side of the field!" X-Head Cannon rejoined Yami's cards on Kaiba's side of the coliseum. Yami gasped.

"I sacrifice Alpha the Magnet Warrior, Queen's Knight, and my X-Head Cannon! And now," Kaiba thrust his hand into the air over his head, "Obelisk the Tormentor, come-"

"Hold on Kaiba," Yami cried cutting him off, "Go Lightforce Sword!" The trap revealed to be a sword sticking through the back of a card. The holographic sword soared through the air, and slashed the card from Kaiba's upraised hand.

"Oh no!"

"Oh yes. Now your Obelisk the Tormentor is completely useless to you for three entire turns, thanks to my Lightforce Sword." Yami grinned. "What's the rush? This duel's just getting interesting, Kaiba."

"You might've bought yourself a little time, but you'll have to face Obelisk sooner or later fool!"

"Your Soul Exchange card is no longer in effect, which means you don't control my monsters anymore! And Obelisk will have to wait." Yami called as the swirling light disappeared and Alpha the Magnet Warrior and Queen's Knight returned to his side of the coliseum.

'I won't be waiting as long as he thinks. In just 3 turns, his Lightforce Sword card's effect wears off, and Obelisk will return to my hand. By then, I'll have another way to crush him, or to summon my Egyptian God.'

"Now I place this facedown and end my turn!" Yami said as he set a card.

"My move!" Kaiba grinned, grabbing a card from his hand. "Now I activate: Lullaby of Obedience!"

Yami gasped.

"This magic card allows me to take a high power monster from your deck and place it in my hand. And I think you have a pretty good idea which monster I have my sight set on Yugi. It's your Egyptian God Card: Slifer the Sky Dragon." Reluctantly, Yami stepped forward, stopping midway acros the field.

"My card please," Kaiba sneered. Yami drew Slifer from his deck and held it out to Kaiba.

"This card will return to me," he said in a rather aggravated hiss.

"I doubt that," Kaiba scoffed. Taking the red card he added: "I wouldn't feel so bad were I you. Slifer was buried so dep in you deck you never would've drawn it anyhow."

Grinning, Yami said: "Not without your help, Kaiba."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Knowing how greedy you are Laiba, I suspected you would try to take my Sky Dragon. I was ready." Behind him, his facedown card flipped as he pressed the button, calling: "Reveal Magic Crard: Exchange!"

"What?! Oh no! Now he can take a card from my hand!"

"I believe you owe me a card Kaiba, now give Slifer back to me." Angrily, Kaiba handed back the red Egyptian God. Then, Yami continued: "Now you pick one, so we can get on with our duel." Kaiba chose a purple card with a picture of a shattered hourglass and some cards on it: Life Shaver.

Above and around them, the holographic fans began cheering: "Yugi! Yugi! Yugi!"

"I appreciate your help Kaiba. Slifer is in my hand, and the upper hand in this duel is now mine, all thanks to you!" Kaiba growled.

A/N: Whew! Finished the first part of Yami & Kaiba's battle. Next time: Kaiba gets what he's been asking for since Yami won Slifer. Don't miss it!

Cheers!
