The Priestess Legacy
Chapter 2
Yugi vs. Malik
"I draw." Malik said. "And summon 'Bowganian' (1300, 1000)." Malik's monster looked like a giant eyeball holding a crossbow. "And I also activate 'Dark Room of Nightmare'. Now, every time you receive damage from a card effect, you lose an extra 300 points. I'll set 1 card facedown and end my turn."
"Alright." Yugi said, drawing. "I summon 'Green Gadget' (1400, 1600), and use its special ability to place 'Red Gadget' (1300, 1500) in my hand. I place two cards facedown, and have my Green Gadget attack!" The giant colored gear leaped into the air, aiming a fist at Malik's monster.
"I activate 'Nightmare Wheel'!" Malik cried. A giant spiked wheel appeared, tendrils of dark energy ensnaring Green Gadget and strapping it to the wheel. "Now your monster can't attack, and you lose 500 points every turn." Yugi scowled.
"Then I end my turn."
"My draw." Malik said, doing. "First, Bowganian's special ability takes 600 points from you." The giant eyeball aimed and fired a glowing arrow at Yugi's chest. "And next, my Nightmare Wheel trap drains 500 points from you as well." The wheel glowed and began to turn, Green Gadget groaning and creaking. "And finally, my Dark Room of Nightmare trap inflicts another 600 damage to you."
-Yugi: 6300, Malik: 8000-
"I place a monster in defense mode, and a card facedown." Malik ended.
"I draw them." Yugi said. "And activate 'Graceful Charity'. Now I draw 3 cards, and discard 2. And I'll activate my trap 'Ultimate Offering'. Now by paying 500 points, I can perform an extra summon. So I'll pay 500 points to summon 'Red Gadget' (1300, 1500), and use its special power to place 'Yellow Gadget' (1200, 1200) in my hand. And next I'll pay another 500 points to summon Yellow Gadget." Yugi's 3 colored gears floated before him, albeit with Green still strapped to Nightmare Wheel.
"I know those cards." Malik remembered. "You used them in your battle against the Pharaoh."
"Yeah, he's right!" Joey cried. "So dat means dat facedown must be da Stronghold Fortress trap!"
"Nope." Yugi corrected. "I sacrifice my 3 Gadgets, and summon 'Ancient Gear Gadgedragon' (1) (3000, 2000)!" Malik gasped as a huge mechanical dragon rose behind Yugi. "And now, my Gradgedragon's special ability activates. Depending on how many Gadget cards I tributed to summon him, he gains a new special ability. If I tribute one, he gains 1000 points. If I tribute two, he can attack twice in a turn. But, if I manage to Tribute all 3 different Gadgets, he become immune to any card effect that would destroy him!" Malik gasped as Red, Green and Yellow Gadget leapt from Yugi's graveyard and slid into place on an empty gear panel on the Gadgedragon's back, snapping together and turning to power the beast.
"Gadgedragon, attack Bowganian!" Yugi commanded. The giant machine clanked across the field, and slashed a giant claw at Bowganian. Bowganian exploded, sending a cloud of dust washing over Malik.
-Yugi: 5300, Malik: 6300-
"I end my turn." Yugi said. Malik coughed and waved away the dust.
"Okay." He said, looking at his hand. "I place another monster in defense, and activate 'Misfortune'. Now half of your monster's attack points are dealt to you as damage. I'll end my turn there." Yugi nodded.
"I activate the special ability to Ultimate Offering, and pay 500 points to summon 'Batteryman AA' (0000, 0000). And next I'll sacrifice him to summon 'Super-Electromagnetic Voltech Dragon' (2400, 1000). And my new dragons also gets a power, based on which Batteryman monster I tributed to summon him. And since I tributed Batteryman AA, he gets an additional 1000 attack points." The gleaming gold and silver dragon roared as a panel on its chest opened, and Batteryman AA jumped into a slot there, electricity crackling as it completed the circuit. "Voltech Dragon, attack!" Yugi ordered. The metal dragon opened its mouth and fired a blast of electricity.
"Reveal 'Newdoria' (1200, 800). When it's sent to the Graveyard, I can destroy any monster. And I choose your Voltech Dragon!" Yugi's new dragon crumbled into a pile of rusted metal.
"Now Gadgedragon, your turn!" Yugi yelled.
"My second monster 'Giant Germ'!" Malik cried. "Now you lose 500 points, along with 300 from my Spell. Plus, I can summon more Giant Germ cards from my deck." Yugi nodded.
"I set one card and end my turn." He finished.
-Yugi: 2500, Malik: 6300-
"My move." Malik said. "I play 'Spell of Sanctity', so we each draw until we hold six cards. Then I place 2 cards facedown, and sacrifice a Giant Germ to activate the Field Spell 'Dark Sanctuary'. And next I'll activate my Spell card's special effect, and discard 'Legendary Fiend' (1500, 1800) to inflict its attack points as damage to you. I switch my second germ to defense and end my turn."
-Yugi: 1000, Malik: 6300-
"Okay." Yugi said. "I activate 'Monster Reborn' to revive a monster in the Graveyard. And I choose the 'Batteryman C' (0000, 0000) I discarded when I played Graceful Charity. And next I use 'Monster Reincarnation'. So by discarding a card from my hand, I can add a monster in my Graveyard to my hand. And I choose Super Electromagnetic Voltech Dragon, which I'll summon now, by sacrificing my Batteryman C. And since this time, my dragon was summoned by a Batteryman card, it can now deal damage to you, even when attacking a defense monster. Now, Voltech Dragon, attack Giant Germ!" The dragon roared and fired another blast of electricity at the Germ. Malik shielded his eyes as the attack hit home.
-Yugi: 200, Malik: 4000-
"Sorry Malik." Yugi said. "But next I activate 'Limiter Remover'. This doubles the attack of my Gadgetdragon to 6000! And I'll also add it my Trap 'Energy Drain', which gives my Dragon an extra 400 points for each card in your hand. That's a total of 6800!" Malik gasped.
"I never though I'd be disappointed to see Yugi win." Joey muttered.
"Gadgetdragon, attack!" Yugi ordered. The dragon snarled and stomped the ground, sending a tremor towards Malik.
"I activate my Trap 'Power Wall'." Malik cried. "Now I can discard any number of cards from my deck. And my damage will decrease my 100 for each card I discard."
"So he's ditching his entire deck?" Tristan asked.
"Yes. I have 29 cards left in my deck, so I'll discard all of them to reduce your damage by 2900."
"He's alive!" Joey exclaimed.
"Barely, because on his next turn, Malik won't be able to draw, so he'll lose." Tristan said.
-Yugi: 200, Malik: 100-
"Malik, I think it's over." Yugi said. Malik smiled.
No Yugi, it isn't. Because while I may not be able to play any cards next turn, I can still play cards this turn. I sent all my cards to the Graveyard on purpose, so I can play my Trap 'Blasting the Ruins'." A series of ancient stone pillars rose around Yugi, each strapped with an explosive. "If I have 30 or more cards in my Graveyard, then my Trap card explodes and deals you 3000 damage." Yugi gasped as the explosives beeped and blew up. The pillars crumbled, and Yugi dove to the ground as they collapsed behind him.
-Yugi: 0000, Malik: 100-
"That's game Yugi." Malik said, helping him to his feet. Yugi got up and nodded.
"Yeah. Great game, Malik." He said, shaking the tombkeeper's hand. The Eye of Wdjat glowed, and began to open.
"Be careful Yug!" Joey called. Yugi nodded and looked down at the Millennium Puzzle around his neck. Even if he was going to save Téa, he couldn't help but wonder, if the place where she was trapped was the same as the world they had been too, could he be… Yugi took a breath and stepped into the light.
"Téa…I'm coming for you." He though.
