Hey everyone! This week hasn't been so bad thus far. Monday, I saw my grandfather, who was doing rather well. He asked for a spaghetti dinner from a local restaurant for his birthday dinner, which my grandmother got for him. He originally took 3 bites and said he was done, lol, but my grandmother coaxed him to eat half. Not long after that, he asked where his dinner was. Granny told him she had already fed him, but he said he was still hungry. So, she got half of what was left and brought it in. He ate that, and was still hungry, so she warmed up the rest. He ate all but a few bites of a rather large dinner, plus two pieces of bread. To say the least, me and Granny were a bit surprised. After that, not much else happened and I went home.

Story wise, eh, with work, I'm not doing much on it, lol. I've been busy the last day or so, so no time to work on it. I'm nearly done with a section of MtM, but I keep putting off finishing for some reason… Anyways, once I finish that, I'll probably work on Another once again. I hope to finish enough of it by the end of the month so I can begin posting it.

In the last chapter, Jaden finished off Legato, only to have Legato neglect to fulfill his end of his agreement in freeing the people he sent to the Shadow Realm. Marie was cured of her poison, but had her heart broken by finding Illidan was now gone for good. Seeing this, Jaden made a decision to make the ultimate sacrifice, offering himself in the place of all the people Legato had made suffer. Will his sacrifice truly save all that were taken, or will it be hollow?

Wow, there are so many reviews this time around. Alright, might as well get to work.

Raymond Barrett: Thanks. I had 6 monsters? No, I don't think so. If you're talking about when I had those 4 forms of Neos out, then no, it wasn't 6 monsters. See, I had Jaden sacrifice all 4 forms of Neos to Anubis, thus clearing the field back down to Anubis alone when Jaden summoned the original Neos. Hope that cleared things up. Thanks for the review!

Metal Overlord 2.0: Yes Jaden! Eh, why not have Jaden eaten by the Shadows, hehe. Glad you liked the climax to the duel. Yeah, Legato wormed his way out of his own deal, but oh well. Yep, I did give Anubis a bit of a personality in this story instead of the other two stories thus far. He was quite active in TWS, but still, not overly active. Nah, Legato is gone for good. He's paid for his crimes, so it's over for him. Thanks for the review!

Knives91: Yep, he's whooped, lol. Jaden is gone, that is true. Thanks for the review.

DuelistBlake1852: LOL! Poor Yami, are you sure another popsicle won't help? Maybe Illidan can get Jaden out of this jam, but who knows (other than me, lol). Another Shadow Game, already!? That wouldn't be fun, lol. Thanks for the compliment, and the review!

Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks. Nope, no confrontation with Legato after his defeat, unfortunately, lol. Eh, no, he's not reviving anything like Dartz was, well, other than fuel the Sacred Beasts with the Egyptian Gods' power. You say Jaden can't die, well guess what, he did, lol. Yeah, I saw they made Yubel female. Joy… Thanks for the review!

Nathan: Thanks. Yep, Illidan lost, then Jaden sacrificed himself for everyone else. Thanks for the reviews.

x-knight20: Thank you. Yep, Jaden sacrificed himself to save everyone. How noble… Thanks for the review.

Wow, lots of reviews to write up! Lol, not that I mind, but it took a while, hehe. Thank you everyone for your reviews, and for mangafan for adding ToP as a favorite. I'm very happy for all the views from everyone. They're very helpful to me.

Anyways, I need to be running. Lots of work to do yet. Thanks for the reviews guys, and I hope you enjoy this chapter! Later!

Chapter 78

At the infirmary, there were groans and moans all over the room where the people who had been attacked lay. Hearing them, the nurse rushed in and gasped in shock.

"DOCTOR, COME QUICKLY!" she screamed out the door.

Rushing in, the doctor looked around in astonishment with a gasp. "It's not possible. They're all waking up at the same time…"

Checking on a few, the doctor found that each was coming to. The first to come to was Syrus, who slowly sat up. Glancing around, he asked "Where am I?"

While glancing around, he caught a glimpse of what he thought was his brother. Being careful upon getting up, Syrus slowly walked over to the bed where he saw the person. Getting there, he glanced at the person, but hardly recognized his brother.

"Why are you wearing this stuff? What happened Zane?" he mumbled softly to himself mostly.

As if on queue, Zane began to wake up. Opening his teal eyes, he saw Syrus standing over him. "Syrus?" he questioned softly.

"Yeah big brother, it's me."

With a bit of effort, Zane sat up and instantly hugged his brother, shocking Syrus.

"Zane?" Syrus worriedly asked.

"You're back." Zane lowly murmured. Releasing his embrace, he slowly slid off of the bed and stood up. Looking around, he pondered on what had happened.

"I lost my duel to Illidan, so my soul was taken to the Shadow Realm. Still, what is this feeling? It's like I'm not myself still."

A dark chuckling entered his mind suddenly, making Zane glance around. In his mind, a figure in the shadows appeared. "You are too weak."

"Who are you!?" Zane demanded.

That said, the figure came into the light. Zane could only gasp in shock to see that this person was Zell. Without warning, Zell's body morphed into a copy of Zane's, but this Zane had an evil look in his eye and an evil smirk to match.

"You're… you're Zell!" Zane exclaimed in complete shock.

Darkly chuckling, the evil Zane nodded and replied "That's right weakling, I am! You do not deserve to exist anymore! This body is now mine, so be gone from my mind now!"

Chains of Shadow Magic instantly materialized and wrapped around Zane's arms, legs, and around his neck. They began pulling with great force at him into the darkness of his mind, all the while he was screaming to for them to let go.

Seeing Zane's blank expression, Syrus lightly shook Zane, asking frantically "Big brother, are you alright!?"

Coming out of the expression, Zane smirked evilly and said "Never better."

"What happened?" Syrus questioned.

Without another word, Zane began to walk away without answering Syrus's question. Somewhat shocked at this, Syrus called out "Wait, where are you going!?"

"I'm leaving this dump. It doesn't suit me anymore." Zane coldly responded.

Shocked, Syrus quickly ran ahead of Zane and blocked his path. "What's wrong with you!? Did something happen!?"

In a flash of unseen movement, Zane threw Syrus into the nearby wall. "Out of my way you runt. I have duels to win." Zane gruffly said.

Slowly standing up, Syrus watched in horror as his brother left. "Big brother, what happened to you?" he mumbled with tears flowing down his cheeks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finding himself back in his body, Illidan lightly groaned. Listening intently, he heard someone sobbing and felt weight on his chest, and immediately knew who it was.

Carefully moving his hand, he placed it on Marie's back, whispering lowly "Marie."

Looking up with tears still flowing down her face, Marie saw Illidan's eyes had opened. "ILLIDAN!" she cried out and hugged him tightly.

Hearing that word, both Chazz and Alexis glanced over at where Marie sat on her knees and both smiled sadly.

"He's alive." Chazz murmured.

"Thank goodness." Alexis added, but frowned as tears slipped down her cheeks. "Jaden, is this what you did? You gave your life to save everyone else?"

Gently patting Marie's back, Illidan gently said "It's alright."

"You were gone when I came to, and I thought I had lost you forever! Please, don't ever leave me again!" she wailed, still hugging him tightly.

Softly chuckling, Illidan replied "I won't, I promise."

After a few more moments, Marie finally released Illidan, who sat up and finally got up off of the ground. Looking to Chazz, he asked "What happened?"

"When you lost, Jaden carried on. During his turn, that trap you used appeared on his field, along with your Egyptian God Card. He used it to turn the tables on Legato and ended it." Chazz summed up.

Nodding, Illidan lightly smiled and said "Good, I knew Jaden could do it."

Glancing around, he frowned and asked "Where is Jaden anyways?"

Turning his eyes downwards, Chazz didn't answer. Through her sobs, Alexis wailed out "He's… he's gone! When the duel ended, Legato refused to return the souls that he had taken. After giving Marie the antidote, he gathered up the Egyptian God Cards and Sacred Beast Cards. A few minutes later, he began vanishing. Before he vanished, he said he had set things right and then said goodbye."

Wailing more profusely, Alexis fell to her knees and cried out "He sacrificed his own life to save everyone else!"

Shocked, Illidan mumbled "No… Jaden, why? Did you value your friends' lives more than your own?"

Falling to his own knees, hot tears slid down his cheeks. "Jaden, why!"

Embracing Illidan from behind, Marie calmly said "Because, he wanted you to be happy and to live on with me."

"It's not fair for him though!" Illidan cried out.

"I know love, but we both know life isn't fair. Jaden's sacrifice has given us all something. We should not be sad over it, for he wouldn't want us to be tormented by it." Marie gently said in a comforting voice.

"I know, but it's just not fair. He had his whole life ahead of him!" Illidan bitterly said.

Smashing his fist into the ground, Illidan muttered "Forgive me Jaden. I'm so sorry you had to do this."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the darkness of the Shadow Realm, Jaden was slowly being devoured by the Shadow Creatures. They had surrounded him and began crawling up his legs. Before they could crawl any further up, a golden light filled the area.

The light came closer and took the form of a young man. Looking him over, Jaden saw he had blonde bangs, mostly black spiky hair with a bit of pink on the edge of it. His eyes were a hardened violet, but seemed to hold a bit of softness in them. His skin was tan and he wore ancient Egyptian clothing. Just his presence alone seemed commanding to Jaden.

"In the name of the Pharaoh, I order you to release that boy." the young man commanded.

The Shadow Creatures immediately skittered off of Jaden and out of the presence of the man. Walking straight to Jaden, the young man smiled.

"You must be Jaden Yuki." the young man kindly said.

Nodding, Jaden replied "Yes, that's me. Do I know you?"

Lightly chuckling, the young man shook his head, saying "No, you don't. But I'm sure you've heard of me through my brother and sister-in-laws."

Thinking for a moment, Jaden finally asked "Uh, who are they?"

"You are exactly like Illidan sometimes." the young man remarked.

"Wait, you know Illidan!?"

Nodding, the young man said "He was my brother-in-law in ancient times, and I took up that same relation to him when he and Marie were married once more ten years ago."

"You're… you're the pharaoh they told me about! What was it, Yumi, Yomi, no, it's Yami!" Jaden exclaimed.

Chuckling, Yami nodded and replied "That's right. Why are you here?"

Excitement dying down, Jaden looked at the ground. "I sacrificed myself to save all the souls that Legato took. I couldn't bear the thought of Marie trying to go through life without Illidan."

"I see. Yes, she would have no doubt never recovered from that loss." Yami commented. Smiling once more, he added "That was very noble of you."

Rubbing the back of his head, Jaden smiled and shyly said "Thanks."

"It takes real courage to be willing to sacrifice one's self for the ones you love. You are most definitely the descendant of Illidan and Marie."

"Wow, you knew that?" Jaden asked in a bit of shock.

"Yes, I knew that you were their descendant. You have the same looks as one of their children, not to mention you have the same courage and inner strength Illidan seemed to always have."

Smiling, Jaden remarked "Thanks. But why are you here?"

"To free you, for I will not allow you to die here. It is not yet your time to." Yami replied.

"But I made a deal…"

Nodding, Yami cut in and interjected "True, you did, but I'm altering the deal. You will not lose your soul to the Shadows."

"Ok…" Jaden began. "But what happens to the people Legato took!?"

"They're fine. They've been freed already." Yami responded calmly.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Jaden replied "Thank goodness."

"Come, I am taking you somewhere first before I return you to your friends." Yami said while offering a hand.

Smiling, Jaden accepted it. The golden light surrounding Yami immediately spread to Jaden, surrounding his own body.

Closing his eyes, Yami began to seemingly concentrate. After a few moments, he reopened them and smiled. "There he is."

Before Jaden could ask what Yami meant, the pair vanished from the darkness. The pair instantly rematerialized on a beach with another person standing there and seemingly waiting.

Upon rematerializing, the other person walked up to Yami, smiling great big. "Yami, you found him!" he exclaimed.

"Yes, I did. It didn't take too long." Yami replied.

Staring at the new stranger, Jaden instantly recognized him. "You're Yugi Moto!" he exclaimed.

Smiling, Yugi nodded back. "Yes, I am. And you're Jaden Yuki, right?"

"Yeah, I am!" Jaden happily replied. "Oh yeah, back this past Christmas, I met your wife and daughter, Tea and Yoshi."

Slightly shocked, Yugi instantly regained his composure and quietly asked "How were they?"

"Yoshi was a lot of fun to play with, but Tea seemed pretty sad. She seemed a little better after her and Illidan talked. Still, she seemed a bit sad."

Frowning, Yugi lightly sighed. Placing a hand on Yugi's shoulder, Yami warmly smiled and said "You should go see them more often. After all, Bakura is out helping you, so the work wouldn't go undone."

Nodding sadly, Yugi muttered "I know. I just wish this was all over."

"I know, but it will be one day. Just remain patient." Yami responded.

"Uh, what are you guys talking about?" Jaden asked.

Smiling, Yami remarked quickly "Nothing to worry about. Anyways, Yugi, I brought Jaden here to reward him for his recent activities."

"Reward? With what?" Jaden asked with curiosity peeking through his eyes.

"You have a dream, right Jaden?" Yami asked in return.

Thinking for a moment, Jaden nodded and said "Yeah, I have dreams."

"There is one in specific I'm thinking of. You wish to become the King of Games."

Jaden simply nodded in response, prompting Yami to continue on. "Well then, how about a duel against the previous King of Games to help you along?"

Grinning great big, Jaden's eyes lit up as he exclaimed "SERIOUSLY!?"

Looking to Yugi, who only smiled, Yami nodded in reply. "That is if Yugi agrees to it."

"Sure, why not. It sounds like fun." Yugi remarked.

"Then it's agreed. The two of you shall duel." Yami calmly said.

"Now?" Jaden asked with excitement leaking out of his eyes.

Lightly chuckling, Yugi nodded. "Yes, now is good."

"SWEET!" Jaden yelled out.

Both Yugi and Yami chuckled at this. Regaining his composure, Yami smiled once more and said "I wish I could stay, but unfortunately, I must return to the realm of the Pharaoh. Jaden, I must ask one thing of you before I go."

Turning serious, Jaden nodded. Seeing it, Yami continued on. "I must ask you to allow me to take the Sacred Beast and Egyptian God Cards with me. I wish to lock them away so no one can ever tamper with them again."

Nodding, Jaden replied "Sure, that's not a problem. They should be locked away where no one can ever use them again."

Digging the eight cards out of his pocket, Jaden handed them to Yami, who examined the eight. "Hard to believe eight little cards have caused so much trouble." he commented.

Looking back up at the pair, he warmly said "Thank you. Good luck with the duel."

"Thanks, and take care of those cards!" Jaden replied back.

"Don't worry, I will." Yami remarked.

Turning to Yugi, Yami gave the young man a warm smile and said "Take some time off to go see Tea and Yoshi. I'm sure they miss you dearly."

"I will Yami." Yugi quietly replied.

"Good. For now, farewell. Hopefully one day, I shall see both of you again." Yami said as he slowly began to vanish into nothingness.

Both Jaden and Yugi smiled and waved till Yami was finally gone. Once gone, Yugi turned to Jaden, asking "Well, shall we begin?"

Smiling great big, Jaden exclaimed "Sure!"

Each took their decks out and handed them to one another and shuffled. Once finished, the pair placed their decks within their Duel Disks. Turning and around and walking away from one another till there was enough room between the two of them, the pair stopped and turned to face one another.

Holding out their arms, each activated their Duel Disks. Yugi's older model formed it's blade like structure and lit up, while Jaden's just pushed out and fired it's slot to form it's blade.

Simultaneously, the pair drew their first five cards and called out "Let's duel!"

Drawing his sixth card, Yugi smiled, saying "I'll start things off by playing the spell Polymerization, allowing me to fuse these two, my Berfomet (1400/1800) and Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (1500/1200) to form Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast (2100/1800)!"

A large creature with mostly orange fur, with some brown, four arms, a pair of white wings on his back, a set of golden horns, and sharp clawed hands of feet first appeared, followed next by a brown lion like creature with a black mane, a horn on his forehead, glowing yellow eyes, and sharp clawed hands and feet.

The two soon began swirling together, and from the swirling came a two headed lion like creature with large white wings on four legs. It had mostly golden fur with a brown mane and a few other patches of brown fur elsewhere. One head of the creature had a single horn on it's forehead while the other head had a pair of horns. It's tail on the end appeared to have a mouth of it's own with a few sharp teeth. Each head let out a mighty roar, showing it's dominance.

"I believe that should do it for me." (Yugi 8000, Jaden 8000)

Smiling as he drew his sixth card, Jaden excitedly said "Sweet opening move Yugi. I see now I'm going to need to get my game on if I'm going to beat you! I'll kick things off by summoning my Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800/1200)!"

Rising up onto the field in a swirl of bubbles was a warrior in mostly light blue spandex with some darker blue, a large white cape, a couple of tanks on his back, and a water hose like blaster attached to his right hand. His mask mostly covered all but his mouth and cheeks. Landing on the field, the warrior crossed his arms, seemingly daring the lion creature to attack it.

"When Bubbleman is summoned on my field and he's all alone, I can automatically draw two additional cards."

Picking up two cards, Jaden remarked "Let's see what else I have in stored for you."

Examining the cards for a moment, he smiled. "I activate the spell Bubble Shuffle, which switches both Bubbleman and Chimera to defense mode."

Both the white caped warrior and the winged beast took up defensive stances with card images forming underneath of them each.

"Next, I get to sacrifice Bubbleman, and I'm trading him in for Elemental Hero Bladedge (2600/1800)!"

Immediately, the white caped warrior vanished from the field, only to be replaced by a large golden warrior with rippling biceps and legs, a set of sharp blades jutting out from his elbows, and a pair of blade like short wings on his back.

"Alright Bladedge, let's cut to the chase! Attack Chimera with Slice and Dice Attack!"

Letting out a small moan, the warrior leapt straight up into the air, seemingly waiting for something.

"Oh yeah, one other thing I should explain. When Bladedge attacks a monster in defense, the difference in his attack points and your monster's defense points are subtracted from your life points."

Lightly gasping, Yugi mumbled "Trample…"

"Yep, that's right. Bladedge, go get'em!" Jaden declared.

Rushing forward from his aerial position, the golden warrior vanished within an instant. A moment later, the large two headed creature began to split in eight ways before a thunderous explosion followed. The warrior soon reappeared in front of Yugi and slashed him hard across the chest, making Yugi slide backwards.

Grasping his chest, Yugi lightly smirked and said "Well executed Jaden, but you'll need more than that to beat me. You just triggered Chimera's special effect when you destroyed him. I can now bring back one of the two monsters I used to form Chimera, so I choose Berfomet (1400/1800) in defense!"

Upon Yugi's declaration, his Duel Disk's Graveyard Slot began glowing softly as a card came slowly out. Grabbing it up, Yugi slapped it to his Duel Disk horizontally. Instantly, the large orange creature with some brown and four arms appeared with his arms crossed and in a kneeling stance.

Smiling at this, Jaden remarked "Nice effect. I'll throw down this face down and chill out for now." (Yugi 7200, Jaden 8000)

Drawing his next card, Yugi examined it before smirking. Flipping the card over to show Jaden, he called out "I play this, my spell Five-Star Twilight! I can only activate this card by first sacrificing a five star monster, which Berfomet is. Now, meet my new monsters!"

Raining down from the sky came five little stars. Each struck the field, causing a small puff of smoke to appear. From the smoke, five different colored little fur ball creatures with small green arms and feet with purple toenails, with each having purple eyes materialized. There was a brown, white, blue, pink, and yellow fur ball with each letting out a "Kree" noise.

"Oh wow, I didn't know Kuriboh had so many cousins." Jaden mused.

Chuckling, Yugi replied "There are many, and they each are strong. It's time I showed you how strong my Kuriboh Brothers (300/200) (x 5) are. I discard my Spellbinding Circle trap in order to activate the special ability of my Kuriboh's. Now, take up the form of Kuriball!"

The five fur ball creature instantly lined up with the white one being last in line. Slowly, it began eating each of the four till nothing was left but a large white fur ball. Rushing forward, the large fur ball plowed into the golden warrior. On impact, the warrior slumped over and the five fur balls reappeared on Yugi's field.

"Hey, what did you do to Bladedge?" Jaden asked with a touch of concern.

Lightly chuckling, Yugi pointed at the slumped over warrior, saying "When Kuriball strikes a monster, he reduces that monster's points by half (2600 / 2 1300/1800). Too bad for your Bladedge. Moving on, I activate my Kuriboh Brothers next special ability. Form up to create Kuribabylon (1500/1000)!"

The five fur balls each leapt into the air in a star formation and a puff of smoke appeared. Out of the smoke stood a large bluish-grey looking fur ball with a horn and a bit of a fierce face.

Shocked, Jaden asked "Huh, where did he come from?"

"He was formed by my five Kuriboh Brothers. Allow me to explain. When my five Kuribohs merge together to form Kuribabylon, his stats are determined by adding the five brothers' attack and defense points together. Since each had 300 attack points and 200 defense, the total was 1500 and 1000." Yugi explained.

"Oh… I see." Jaden flatly replied.

Smirking lightly, Yugi pointed at the weakened golden warrior, calling out "Kuribabylon, attack with Horn Strike!"

Letting out a small growl, the large bluish-grey creature launched itself forward and pierced the golden warrior with it's horn. The warrior instantly cried out in pain before exploding into millions of pieces.

Covering his face to block the exploding debris, Jaden said "You may have taken down Bladedge, but you triggered my trap as well! Go Hero Signal!"

The face down card in front of Jaden instantly rose up, revealing it's image. A flash of light then filled the sky with a strange looking H shaped light.

"When Hero Signal is activated, I can automatically special summon one Elemental Hero from my hand or Deck to the field, so long as it's level four or lower. My pick is this one from my deck, Elemental Hero Clayman (800/2000) in defense!"

Materializing onto the field was a large round grey and black like creature with golden trim on his feet and a red dome head. His body was built thickly. He took a one knee position and crossed his arms, showing his impressive defensive strength.

Smiling, Yugi said "Not bad Jaden, but you'll need more than defense to beat me. To end my turn, I shall transform Kuribabylon back into the five Kuriboh Brothers."

A puff of smoke appeared and instantly, the larger fur ball creature vanished and the five smaller ones reappeared. (Yugi 7200, Jaden 7800)

Grinning great big, Jaden drew his next card, exclaiming "This duel is so awesome so far!"

Lightly chuckling, Yugi remarked "True, this duel has been fun so far. Come, show me what else you have Jaden."

Smirking, Jaden pulled a card from his hand and slapped it to his Duel Disk. "You want to see more, well check this out. Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600/1400), come on down!"

Appearing onto the field was a blue and gold warrior with electricity striking his body. He wore a full face mask, and had a strange set of golden like metal wings on his back.

"Next, I play the equip spell Mud Max and use it on Clayman, raising his points by 300 (800 + 300 1100/2000)!"

Flying out of the spell card image was a large go-kart. Leaping into the air, the large grey round warrior came crashing down into the seat of the cart and revved up the motor.

"Alright, I switch Clayman into attack mode, and now Sparkman, take down one of those Kuriboh's with Static Shockwave!"

Pointing his right arm at the brown fur ball, the blue and gold warrior released a stream of electricity out of his palm at the creature.

Slightly smirking, Yugi called out "My Kuribohs aren't that easy to take down. I activate Star Defense!"

Each of the five fur balls let out a small "Kree" and moved into a star formation. Holding their hands together, a large golden star appeared in front of the five, which absorbed the oncoming electrical blast.

"Hey, what happened!?" Jaden asked in a bit of shock.

Chuckling, Yugi replied "My five Kuribohs aren't helpless. With all five on the field, I can use their special ability known as Star Defense to reduce all Battle Damage to zero."

Frowning, Jaden sighed, saying "Oh well, I'll just get you next turn. I'll call it a turn." (Yugi 7200, Jaden 7800)

Picking up his new card, Yugi called out "Kuribohs, reform Kuribabylon (1500/1000)!"

Forming up into a star formation, the five fur ball creatures created a puff of smoke and vanished, leaving behind a large bluish-grey fur ball once more.

"Kuribabylon, attack his Clayman with Horn Strike!"

Rushing forward, the large bluish-grey creature let out a small battle cry. Lowering it's horn to ram into the large round grey creature, the fur ball monster prepared to strike.

With only a few feet left before the fur ball creature would impact the large round grey warrior, Jaden called out "Not so fast, I activate Mud Max's special ability!"

Instead of striking the large round warrior, the horn of the fur ball creature struck the go-kart, easily piercing through it while the large round warrior leapt for safety. Once out of the kart, it exploded, forcing the large fur ball creature to retreat.

"Why did Kuribabylon strike your go-kart instead?" Yugi asked in confusion.

Smirking, Jaden remarked "Thanks to Mud Max, when Clayman would be destroyed, I can send it to the Graveyard instead and negate the attack. Also, I can now special summon one Elemental Hero from my hand, so I pick this, Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200/800)!"

A female creature with pale white skin in a red body suit that covered most of her body except part of her arms appeared. She had red gloves that came up to her elbows, but the fingers of the gloves were cut off revealing her skin instead. She had long black hair that fanned out with a bit of white at the ends. On her head was a golden flared out helmet, and her face was partially covered with a red mask that didn't cover her cheeks or mouth.

Lightly chuckling, Yugi said "You're full of surprises Jaden. I shall break Kuribabylon back up into the Kuriboh Brothers (300/200) x 5 once again."

Glowing slightly, the large fur ball creature exploded in a puff of smoke. Taking it's place were the five multicolored fur ball creatures.

"I believe that shall do it for me this turn." (Yugi 7200, Jaden 7800)
