The Final Duel: Raimundo Vs Yugi
(Just like when Raimundo faced Joey, the team separated into two teams to comfort the two finalists. Omi, Kimiko, Clay and Stephanie helped Raimundo, while Joey, Mai, Duke and Tea were supporting Yugi. Raimundo tried his best to modify his deck, but it was still too weak to face Yugi.)
Raimundo: This is gonna be a disaster. There's no way I can take on Yugi's colossal God Cards, even all our cards combined can't take them on!
Clay: That's it partner!
Raimundo: What? It's gonna be a disaster? I was thinking of calling it a massacre but…
Omi: No. We shall combine decks.
Kimiko: Yeah, ten cards from each of us.
Stephanie: That would be … three high level monsters, three low level monsters and four magic and trap cards.
Raimundo: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold your horses! How do we know Yugi'll agree to it?
Kimiko: Simple, cus Yugi's planning the same thing.
(Kimiko showed him her PDA, viewing Yugi taking cards from Joey and Mai, and adding it to his deck.)
Raimundo: Alright. Let's get to work. I'll keep my Tyrant Dragon, Legendary Knight Leader, Serpent Night Dragon, Warrior Dai Grepher, Axe Raider, Celtic Guardian, Ants in the Pants, Monster Reborn, Magic Cylinder and …. Oh and the Embodiment of Apopis!
Omi: As you wish. Now let me look.
Stephanie: Let me see, Omi.
Omi: That too!
(Meanwhile, Yugi was combining his comrade's decks with his, with the exact same methods as the Warriors.)
Yugi: Joey, hand me your Scapegoat magic card.
Joey: Sure thing pal.
Yugi: Thanks, and Tea, can you hand me your Shining Friendship and Elf's Light?
Tea: Of course, glad to help.
(All through the hour, Yugi and Raimundo were combining cards, until the were both ready.)
Raimundo: Alright, this deck's good to go. And thanks a lot, guys.
Clay: No prob, partner. You just beat Yugi.
(Meanwhile at Yugi.)
Duke: You sure this deck's ready?
Yugi: Sure as anything.
Joey: Let's see.
(He scanned the cards.)
Joey: Yug? Where're your God Cards?
Yugi: Right here.
(He showed him the three beasts.)
Mai: Well don't just stand there. Put them in.
Yugi: No, I think I'm done with the God Cards.
Duke: You crazy? You can take Raimundo in a flash with those cards!
Yugi: Exactly. I want this duel to be a fair one. And the God Cards will no doubly get in the way.
Tea: I see where this is going. But why?
Yugi: Because, he's my student. And he doesn't possess any God Cards or for that matter present any threat.
(Then the intercom sounded and the Warriors and duellists went onto the platforms.)
Kimiko: Remember, Rai. You got the decks of your friends beside you.
Omi: Oh yes, and never forget to use my cards. I predict they will be most helpful.
Raimundo: Er… thanks.
Clay: So good luck partner.
Raimundo: See you guys later. Don't forget to cheer for me okay?
(They waved goodbye as the platform rose and he emerged to find that a ceremony of some kind was taking place with an orchestra playing in the backround, and the crowd going nuts.)
Roland: Introducing the first finalist of the tournament, conqueror of Odion, Joseph Wheeler and Kimiko Tohomiko, the proud student of Yugi Muto: Raimundo Pedrosa!
(The crowd were on their feet cheering for Raimundo.)
Raimundo: Hehehe thanks.
(Then he could see the Pharaoh rising from the platforms and being placed to his duelling spot.)
Roland: And introducing the second finalist of the tournament, conqueror of Jack Spicer and Chase Young, the King of Games, Yugi Muto!
(The crowd gave an eruption of cheers again.)
Roland: Now Mr. Seto Kaiba will give a speech to the remaining finalists.
(Kaiba approached.)
Raimundo: This oughta be good.
Kaiba: Finalists, you have fought through many challenging trials. Worthy of going down into legendary duelists of all time!
Raimundo: I bet this speech is really doing him in.
Kaiba: now it gives me distinct pleasure, to begin this duel!
(The life points were set and the Pharaoh and Raimundo activated their duel disks.)
Pharaoh: This is it, Raimundo. Our duel has come at last.
Raimundo: Just so you know, I know that you combined decks with your pals. And I did the same.
Pharaoh: Thank goodness, I was beginning to think you didn't see.
Raimundo: You wanted me to combine decks?
Pharaoh: Yes, so it will not be just us that duels, it will be our entire gang.
Raimundo: Alright, now…
Both: Let's duel!
Pharaoh: I shall begin! I summon Alligator's Sword (1500/1200) in attack mode and set one card face-down and end my turn!
Raimundo: Joey's Alligator's Sword, huh? Well get a load of Omi's Neo the Magic Swordsman (1700/1000) in attack mode!
Omi: Did you see that? Raimundo summoned my monster!
Clay: Chill partner. He'll be summoning all of our monsters soon.
Raimundo: Now attack Alligator's Sword!
Pharaoh: Not so fast! I activate Spellbinding Circle!
(Neo was trapped in the magic circle.)
Pharaoh: Not only does it paralyze your magician, it also powers it down by 500 points!
(The magician dropped to 1200 points.)
Raimundo: I'll place one card face-down and end my turn!
Pharaoh: Very well! I sacrifice my Alligator's Sword to summon Legendary Fisherman! (1850/1600)
(Confusion struck the Warriors.)
Omi: Stephanie. Tell me not you betrayed us?
Stephanie: No! I gave you my Legendary Fisherman with my Legendary Ocean. Remember? I never gave Yugi it.
Joey: Nah, that's cus I have a Legendary Fisherman as well. I won it from Mako Tsunami. Sorry ter burst your betrayal bubble.
(Omi sank in his seat.)
Omi: Whew, thank goodness. I honestly thought that Stephanie had turned our back on us.
Stephanie: I would never betray you, Omi.
Pharaoh: now my Legendary Fisherman, attack Neo the Magic Swordsman!
(The fisherman struck down the trapped magician and sent Raimundo's life points to 3350.)
Raimundo: Ouch!
Pharaoh: I'll play one card face-down and end my turn!
(Raimundo drew.)
Raimundo: I summon Clay's Slate Warrior (1900/400) in attack mode!
(Clay's monster was summoned.)
Raimundo: Now attack his Legendary Fisherman!
Pharaoh: I activate Joey's Shield and Sword!
(Slate Warrior's attack and defence switched along with the Legendary Fisherman. And Slate Warrior was destroyed and dropped Raimundo to 2150.)
Raimundo: Hah! You forgot about Slate Warrior's special ability, when it's destroyed your Fisherman loses 500 attack points!
(The fisherman dropped to 1350.)
Raimundo: I'll place one card face-down and end my turn!
Pharaoh: My move! And I summon Tea's Fairy's Gift (1400/1000) in attack mode!
(The beautiful fairy was summoned.)
Pharaoh: And I also activate her Elf's Light, to increase its attack and defence by 300 points!
(The fairy increased to 1700 attack power and 1300 defence power.)
Pharaoh: Now attack his life points directly!
Raimundo: Activate Kimiko's Negate Attack!
Pharaoh: Nice counter-attack. I'll place one card face-down and end my turn!
Raimundo: Alright. I'll activate Stephanie's Legendary Ocean!
(The field was once again engulfed in water.)
Raimundo: And that's not all! Water monsters are powered down from their level. So that means I can summon Kairyu-Shin (1800/1500) without a sacrifice!
(A huge sea-serpent rose to the field.)
Pharaoh: Whoa!
Raimundo: Now attack the Fairy's Gift, with 2000 attack points!
(The monster attacked the fairy and sent the Pharaoh to 3700 life points.)
Kimiko: Finally, I thought Rai would never decrease Yugi's life points!
Clay: He's doin' fine.
Omi: Not on life point difference.
Pharaoh: My move! And I sacrifice my Legendary Fisherman to summon Curse of Dragon! (2000/1500)
(A huge skeletal dragon appeared.)
Pharaoh: And now I activate Polymerization! To fuse my Curse of Dragon with my Gaia the Fierce Knight, to summon Gaia the Dragon Champion! (2600/2100)
(The two combined to create a dragon with a knight mounted on its back.)
Pharaoh: Now attack Kairyu-Shin!
(The dragon charged and slashed Raimundo's sea-serpent and dropped him to 1550 life points.)
Joey: Rai's toast!
Kimiko: Don't say that!
Raimundo: My move! I activate Ants in the Pants! This allows me to create two Ant Tokens (500/500) on the field!
(Two little ants came forth.)
Raimundo: Now I sacrifice both of them to summon Omi's Dark Magician!
(Omi's Dark Magician came forth.)
Raimundo: That's not all, I equip him with Omi's Book of Secret Arts, which increases his attack and defence power by 300.
(Dark Magician increased to 2800 attack points.)
Raimundo: Now attack his Gaia!
(The magician blasted the dragon and knight and sent the Pharaoh's life points to 3500.)
Pharaoh: Very well! My move. Two can play at the sorcery game, as I activate Dark Magic Ritual!
Raimundo: This ain't gonna be cool.
Pharaoh: I sacrifice my Valkyrion from my hand, to summon Magician of Black Chaos! (2800/2600)
(A black magician came forth.)
Pharaoh: You're lucky both our magicians are equal. So I'll end my turn!
(Two more Ant Tokens were summoned.)
Raimundo: Alright, first I activate Swords of Revealing Light, to cancel your attack for three turns!
Pharaoh: Very well!
Raimundo: Next, I'll sacrifice my two tokens to summon Kimiko's Insect Queen! (2200/2400)
(The giant spider was summoned.)
Raimundo: Since she's an insect, she gains an extra 200 points!
(The monster increased to 2400/2600.)
Kimiko: That's my monster!
Raimundo: I'll end my turn!
Pharaoh: I activate Scapegoat! To summon four Sheep Tokens (100/100) to the field. Next I sacrifice one to summon Joey's Jinzo! (2400/1500)
(A machine sort of monster was summoned.)
Pharaoh: That will end my turn!
Raimundo: Since I'm so kind, I won't attack your monsters just yet.
Pharaoh: As you wish, but you'll regret it.
Raimundo: Alright! I sacrifice my next two Ant Tokens to summon Clay's Seiyaryu! (2500/2300)
(Clay's rarest monster was summoned.)
Omi: Is Raimundo doing what I think Raimundo is doing?
Kimiko: He's summoning all our rare monsters! Your Dark Magician, Clay's Seiyaryu, and my Insect Queen!
Raimundo: Three of my friend's strongest monsters! And it doesn't stop there; I'll activate Fortress Whale's Oath! I sacrifice my Tyrant Dragon from my hand to summon Stephanie's Fortress Whale! (2350/2150)
(The huge whale joined the fray.)
Raimundo: Now four of my friend's strongest monsters! I'll end my turn now.
Pharaoh: My move! And I activate Equal Share!
Raimundo: What's that do?
Pharaoh: It's simple. When you have far superior monsters on your side of the field than mine, I can sacrifice any amount of my monsters and summon any monster in my deck. Now I sacrifice my three Scapegoats!
Raimundo: Aaah! Not the God Cards!
Pharaoh: Relax, Raimundo. I never added them into my deck.
Raimundo: What? Why not?
Pharaoh: Your knights maybe powerful, but they would never match up to the God Cards, I wanted this duel to be even, using the God Cards would be far too easy, and so I didn't add them.
Raimundo: Huh? You coulda added the God Cards, but yah chose to face me man-to-man?
Pharaoh: That is correct.
Raimundo: Well, much appreciated. So what monsters are yah gonna summon?
Pharaoh: First Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon! (2400/2000)
(The giant dragon appeared.)
Pharaoh: Duke's Orgoth the Relentless! (2500/2450)
(The warrior was summoned.)
Pharaoh: And finally Mai's Harpie's Pet Dragon! (2000/2500)
(The next dragon was summoned.)
Joey: Hey, the field's filled with all our rare cards.
Kimiko: Dark Magician, Insect Queen, Seiyaryu, Fortress Whale.
Clay: Magician of Black Chaos, Jinzo, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Orgoth the Relentless and Harpie's Pet Dragon.
Omi: So many rare monsters!
(Then the Pharaoh heard the voice of little Yugi.)
Yugi: Pharaoh, we need to find a way to make us and Raimundo both win.
Pharaoh: How do we do that? And why?
Yugi: Because Raimundo wants to win and receive the ancient artefact on his own, and not have us willingly surrender it.
Pharaoh: I see. But how do we draw with someone so strong?
Yugi: There should be a card in our decks that could be the bearer of that.
(He vanished and he continued the duel.)
Pharaoh: I shall end my turn! And my monsters are free to attack next turn!
Raimundo: Yikes! My move! And I activate the magic card: Cost Down! Now I can summon a monster with one less tribute!
Raimundo: Very smart!
Raimundo: Which I sacrifice one of my Ant Tokens to summon: Legendary Knight Leader! (4000/3000) And so we're even at the God Card business, I'll not increase his attack power with those on the graveyard.
Pharaoh: Very well. But your monsters can still strike me down.
Raimundo: Nah, I'll give you one more chance to figure out something.
Pharaoh's thoughts: If I draw the wrong card, then Raimundo will be humiliated in battle, I cannot allow that, even with me.
(He drew, and gave a smile.)
Pharaoh: Now feel the wrath of my Torrential Obliteration!
Raimundo: I can tell this is gonna be bad!
Pharaoh: Do you remember Kaiba's Ring of Destruction?
Raimundo: Yeah, why?
Pharaoh: This card destroys all monsters and subtract the total attack points from both our life points! And assuming that my calculations are correct, both of us will lose 26,150 life points!
Raimundo: But … that means …
Pharaoh: We'll both lose.
(The card let out a huge storm that annihilated the powerful monsters with no distinction of attack power and sent both the Pharaoh and Raimundo's life points to 0.)
Roland: My goodness, it's a tie!
Kaiba: Then we will have to go into the tie-breaker!
Pharaoh: No, Kaiba! This tie is perfect for both me and Raimundo.
Raimundo: Wha'? So you've been planning this?
Pharaoh: I knew you wanted to win, and since I did too, we shall make it a tie.
Raimundo: Well, that's a big solution for everything.
Kaiba: So tell me, how do you dweebs plan to share the prize?
Raimundo: How much is the prize money?
Kaiba: £3,000,000. Courtesy of Kaiba Corp.
Raimundo: Me and my pals'll take £1,000,000 and Yugi can take the rest. And we'll also take the artefact. Unless Yugi disagrees?
Pharaoh: No. That is good, I'll take £2,000,000, and you take the rest and the ancient artefact.
Kaiba: Very well. You dweebs can wait backstage while we organise the award ceremony.
Pharaoh: Thank you.
Kaiba: Hmph.
(Then as the Pharaoh and Raimundo were going back downstairs, they felt rumbling as a huge machine hovered above the Stadium.)
Pharaoh: What is that?
Raimundo: Oh, doesn't this guy take a hint!
(The machine hovered down to reveal Chase Young, Jack Spicer and Wuya, all look ready for a fight.)
