A/N: I know I haven't updated in a while and I'm sorry, but my dad is making me do these huge projects, which are so difficult and I don't even have the energy to type them up. Last time Joey defeated Rare Hunter and gained the Millenium Key. But now Yugi and Arkana are dueling and Yugi is at a serious disadvantage. Well, time to begin!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Does anybody know when season 2 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX will be air in America?
"Darn." Yugi said breathing heavily. "That last attack really took a toll on me."
"What's wrong, Yugi?" Arkana asked. "Think you can't handle it? I'd quit too if I were you."
"Did you forget who I am?" Yugi asked. "I defeated you once, and I'll do it again!"
"Yes, but last time you had your Pharaoh friend to help you, and I didn't have the Millenium Necklace or the power of the Orichalcos." Arkana pointed out.
"That's true." Yugi acknowledged. "But it doesn't mean that you'll win. This duel's far from over!"
"Then go make your damn move, so I can finish you off!" Arkana screeched.
The current stats of the duel were as shown. Arkana had 3000 life points, with Dark Rabbit(1100/1500) in attack mode enhanced by the Seal of Orichalcos as well as the Axe of Despair magic card powering it up. He also had his red Dark Magician(2500/2100) which was also powered by the Orichalcos. The Seal of Orichalcos surrounded the playing field. Yugi had 1400 life points remaining, and nothing whatsoever on the field. In this Shadow Game that Arkana created with the power of the Millenium Necklace, each player was supported with a platform with shackles chaining their legs. However, pieces of the platform were destroyed, whenever a player lost life points. When a players life points reached zero, the platform would break completely, as well as the shackles would release them and the Shadow Realm and the Orichalcos would capture their soul, spirit, and body.
"It's my move!" Yugi said. "I'll place one card facedown and then I'll summon Mystical Elf(800/2000) in defense mode!"
"Heh heh heh." Arkana snickered. "This is the grand finale! Now Dark Rabbit! Wipe out his Mystical Elf and his life points!" Dark Rabbit flew straight at Yugi's Mystical Elf and was about to hit.
"Reveal my facedown card!" Yugi shouted. "Mirror Force!"
"NO!" Arkana screamed in shock.
"Yes." Yugi said proudly. "Thanks to the effect of my Mirror Force trap card, all your monsters are gone!"
"This can't be!" Arkana yelled as first Dark Rabbit was destroyed, then his Dark Magician was destroyed.
"Well, it's my move!" Yugi said. "Now stand back. I'll sacrifice my Mystical Elf in order to play the card that beat you last time. My Dark Magician Girl!" The holographic image of the female Magician emerged.
"Crap." Arkana muttered under his breath.
"Now my Dark Magician Girl gains 300 attack points for the Dark Magician in YOUR graveyard." Yugi said. "Now Dark Magician Girl, attack him directly with Dark Burning Attack!" Dark Magician Girl raised her staff and fired a powerful blast of Dark Magic at Arkana.
"Aarrrgghhhh." Arkana seethed. "You're gonna pay for that!" As his life points decreased rapidly and most of the platform that he was standing on crumbled and fell into the hot magma and instantly disintegrated. Yugi: 1400 / Arkana: 700
"I'll end my turn for now." Yugi said.
"Good. Now it's time for you to lose this duel and die!" Arkana shouted. "I will defeat you and I am the true Dark Magician Master! Now I summon my Fiend Chester(1300/1500) in defense mode. Finally I'll place one card facedown and end my turn."
"It's my move!" Yugi said drawing his next card. "I summon my Beta the Magnet Warrior(1700/1600) in attack mode. Now Beta atta..."
"Hold it right there!" Arkana smiled. "You just triggered my trap card! Dark Renewal!"
"Oh no!" Yugi said. "This can only mean one thing. You're bringing back your Dark Magician!"
"Indeed." Arkana said. "Now watch this. Beta the Magnet Warrior and Fiend Chester are sent to the graveyard, and in exchange, I can bring back my Dark Magician!"
Then the Seal of Orichalcos symbol emerged on Arkana's Dark Magician and it's attack points shot up to 3000."
"Now it's my turn." Arkana said. "Now, Dark Magician wipe out his Dark Magician Girl!"
Arkana's Dark Magician gave a wicked smile and blasted Yugi's Dark Magician Girl.
Arkana: 700 / Yugi: 400
"You only have 400 life points left, Yugi." Arkana said. "In just one more turn, you'll lose everything!"
"This duel's not done yet." Yugi said. "And now I'll prove it! I activate the magic card Card Destruction! Now we must both discard every card in our hands, but that isn't all! Next we replenish our hands with the same number of cards!"
"And what will that do?" Arkana said as he threw his hand away and then redrew the same number of cards from his deck.
"I'm glad that you asked." Yugi said. "It's not that my hand was bad. It's that I saw one card you had discarded.
"Really?" Arkana asked. "And how will that help?"
"Just watch." Yugi replied. "All right, now I activate the magic card Double Spell! By discarding one magic card from my hand, I can activate a magic card from your graveyard! And I choose the one that you discarded! The Dark Magic Curtain!"
"What!" Arkana screamed.
"You heard me!" Yugi bellowed. "Now after giving up half of my life points, I can summon my most trusted and most favorite mosnter! Come forth, Dark Magician!"
Yugi's famous Dark Magician then emerged from the card, and it looked ready to fight!" Arkana: 700 / Yugi: 200
"Well it doesn't matter." Arkana said. "Your Dark Magician is 500 points weaker than my Dark Magician, so if you attack you'll destroy your only monster and you'll lose the rest of your life points!"
"I didn't say I was going to attack." Yugi said. "I'll place one card facedown and then I will end my turn."
"It's my turn." Arkana said, and then to himself. "Hmmm... Yugi's not dumb. He wouldn't just summon his Dark Magician to the field so I could attack and wipe him out. Last time it ended up a waiting game, but this time my Magician is stronger. It'd be foolish to just charge in and attack. I better wait."
"I have to win this duel!" Yugi thought. "The world's in trouble again, and I have to win to save it!"
"All right, I'll end my turn with one card facedown." Arkana said.
"My turn!" Yugi said. "I'll place two more cards facedown and I'll end my turn."
Arkana drew his card and smiled. "I activate the magic card Graceful Charity! This powerful magic card allows me to draw three new cards from my deck, then I have to discard any two cards that I choose from my hand." Arkana drew his three cards smiled evilly, then threw two cards away. "All right, I activate the magic card Thousand Knives! Since I have Dark Magician on the field, I can destroy one monster on your side of the field, so your Dark Magician is gone!" Then the smoke cleared and Arkana was shocked to find three hats with question marks on them and one of them had disapeared. And Yugi's Dark Magician was nowhere in sight!"
"What the hell did you do?" Arkana screeched.
"I activated my facedown card." Yugi explained. "My Magical Hats! This placed four hats on the field and my Dark Magician is in one of them. But by the looks of your Thousand Knives, it appears that they picked the wrong hat."
"Well take this!" Arkana shouted. "I activate the magic card Beckon to Darkness! This allows me to destroy one monster on your side of the field, and I choose the hat on the far left!" The big powerful arm grabbed the hat and then left the field.
"I think you guessed wrong." Yugi said.
"Shut up!" Arkana said. "That's it, no more waiting! Dark Magician destroy the hat on the right and his Dark Magician for good!" Arkana's red Dark Magician raised his staff and charged towards the hat which Arkana ordered. The hat was destroyed, but Yugi's Dark Magician was nowhere in sight. "I MISSED AGAIN!" Arkana said. "Oh well, at least now your Dark Magician is exposed." As he said that, Yugi's Dark Magician came out of the last hat wielding it's staff.
"I won't let you destroy my Dark Magician!" Yugi said. "Is that clear? You won't win this duel Arkana!"
"That's what you think." Arkana said. "But it's your last chance. I'll end my turn."
"My move." Yugi said. "I better draw something good!" Yugi looked at the card and then said "I'll end my turn."
"This'll be easier than I thought." Arkana said drawing his next card. He looked at it and gave a wicked laugh. "Now I activate the magic card Heavy Storm! This will destroy every magic and trap on the field! So your two facedown cards as well as your last hope is gone!" The first of the cards that Yugi played was revealed as Magician Selection which was destroyed. The second card was about to be destroyed.
"Hold on!" Yugi said. "I activate the facedown card Dust Tornado! This allows me to destroy one magic or trap card on the field!"
"You can't do that." Arkana said. "There are no cards on the field, that you can destroy!"
"No there's one card." Yugi said. "I shall target, the Seal of Orichalcos!"
"Hahahahaha!" Arkana laughed. "You can't destroy the Seal of Orichalcos with a weak trap card like that! You should know that by now!" Then the Storm swept away Dust Tornado. It tried to wipe out the Orichalcos, but it was instantly negated. "Now, you have nothing to protect you! Dark Magician! Destroy his Dark Magician now! I Win!"
"Wrong." Yugi said. "I knew the Seal of Orichalcos couldn't be destroyed by Dust Tornado. That's why I played it. It's secondary effect also allows me to set one card on the field and when you declared your attack, you activated it! Behold! My Spell Binding Circle! This card binds your Dark Magician and lowers its attack points by 700!"
"No!" Arkana cried. "But now, your Dark Magician is stronger!"
"Exactly!" Yugi said. "Now it's time for MY Grand Finale! I activate Monster Reborn to bring back my Dark Magician Girl! Now Dark Magician destroy his Magician with Dark Magic Attack!"
"NO!" Arkana screamed as his Magician was destroyed. Arkana: 500 / Yugi: 200
"Now Dark Magician Girl, wipe out the rest of his life points!" Yugi commanded.
Dark Magician Girl fired the blast at Arkana and his life points dropped to zero.
Yugi: 200 / Arkana: 0
"This can't be happening!" Arkana shouted. The Seal of Orichalcos shrunk around him and fused with the Shadow Realm and his soul and spirit was absorbed. Then his souless body fell into the hot magma after the platform gave way. Then a long platform emerged in front of Yugi. Yugi stepped on it and walked. He stopped when he got to Arkana's side. When he noticed the Millenium Necklace. Yugi took it into his hands and placed it in his pocket. Then he continued toward the door. And opened it.
CONTROL ROOM
"No!" Bandit Keith yelled. "How could Arkana lose too? I had the perfect plan! Ah well, at least Umbra and Lumis will defeat Jaden and Kaiba, and I'll still get some of this to work!"
IN ANOTHER ROOM AT THE SAME TIME AS YUGI AND JOEY'S DUELS
Umbra activated the Millenium Scale and Lumis activated the Millenium Eye, and the Shadow Realm came forth.
"You two are done." Lumis said. "Jaden, you have such a hot girlfriend."
"Don't you dare talk about Alexis!" Jaden shouted.
"What?" Umbra asked. "Ashamed of her? I'm suprised. Most guys would kill to have such a hot girlfriend as you do."
"Let's get on with this duel." Kaiba said.
"With pleasure." Lumis said. "I'll start off this duel by knowing that Jaden's hand consists of Elemental Heroes Sparkman and Avian as well as three magic and trap cards which I don't feel like revealing. And Kaiba has Vorse Raider and Battle Ox, as well as Blue Eyes White Dragon as well as two other magic and trap cards."
"No way!" Jaden said. "He can see our cards!"
"It's no trick." Kaiba said. "It's the power of his Millenium Eye."
"That's right." Jaden said. "I remember that Pegasus did that in Duelist Kingdom."
"I'll place two cards facedown and end my turn." Lumis said.
"My move." Kaiba said. "I summon Battle Ox(1700/1000) in attack mode. Then I'll place two cards facedown and end my turn."
"It's time to take you down." Umbra said. "Now I summon Shining Abyss in attack mode!"
"I activate my facedown card." Lumis said. "Mask of Brutality. Now Umbra's monster gains 1000 attack points. However, we would have to pay 1000 life points each turn to do so."
"So I'm activating a magic card known as Masked Doll! Now we no longer have to pay the costs of our magic cards. Now my Shining Abyss has 2600 attack points!"
"It's my go!" Jaden said. "I summon Elemental Hero Clayman(800/2000) in defense mode. Then I'll place one card facedown and end my turn."
"It's my turn again." Lumis said. "I summon Melkid the Four Faced Beast(1500/1200) in attack mode. Then I'll place one card facedown, but the worst comes now. I activate the Seal of Orichalcos!"
"No way!" Kaiba shouted. "When we beat that lunatic Dartz, that card was destroyed for good!"
"That's what you think." Lumis said. The Seal of Orichalcos emerged on the field. And Lumis's eyes began glowing red. "Now every monster I summon gains 500 attack points. And the first person to lose the duel, will lose their soul."
"I've heard about this card." Jaden said. "It was when you guys faced against DOMA that powerful organization. But I heard that the card was destroyed forever.
"That's what I thought too." Kaiba said. "But know this Jaden. I have no interest in becoming pals. I will win this duel on my own, and I will crush them. You hear me? I'll defeat both of you!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
A/N: Well Arkana has been defeated, but Jaden and Kaiba are up against a familar tag team duo consisting of Umbra and Lumis. Will Kaiba remember his duel with Yugi when he faced them before, or will he keep up the same selfish attitude of winning on his own. The action's not stopping here, it's just beginning! Now there are three people who I will address right now.
