A/N: Here's the long awaited Part 1 of a 2-part conclusion to Yubel's duel with Kaibaman. Enjoy it, everyone!

Last Time

Yubel drew, looking calm despite facing 2 Blue-Eyes as she peeked at her drawn card, Rainbow Life. "I activate The Ritual Of The Ultimate Forbidden Lord spell card! It only works when it's in the graveyard and I have all 5 Exodia parts in either my hand or the grave. I put 3 of them; The Left Arm, The Left Leg and The Right Arm back into my deck then re-shuffle. As for the other 2, I re-send them to my graveyard and to my field I will now summon EXODIOS, THE ULTIMATE FORBIDDEN LORD!!" Yubel called, laughing wickedly.

End Flashback

A younger version of Exodia seemed to appear. Dressed in a sort of black armor from his chest up, to go with what looked like black horns protruding out from just above his forehead. Like Exodia, Exodios was also very muscular with small metal chains on his very muscular arms and legs to go with a small gold belt just below his chest. (?/0)

"Why aren't it's attack points determined?" Kaibaman questioned.

"My other cards will determine that. For every Normal monster or monster with Forbidden One in it's name, Exodios gains 1000 attack points! So with 2 Exodia pieces in my graveyard, Exodios gains 2000 attack points!" Yubel declared, smiling wickedly.

"Big deal, it's still too weak to take down Blue-Eyes." Kaibaman replied.

"We'll see, now prepare to feel the wrath of Exodios, The Forbidden Lord! Go, Lightning Fire Flash!" Yubel declared.

"But that makes no sense, he's too weak!" He yelled.

"Normally yes, but each time he attacks, I can send a Forbidden One card to my grave. So I send the Left Arm to my graveyard which boosts Exodios' attack to 3000! Now destroy his Blue-Eyes in defense mode!" She ordered as Exodios let loose a combo blast of lighting and fire which zoomed toward Blue-Eyes.

"You activated my trap card! Negate Attack! This stops your attack and spares my dragon." Kaibaman explained.

"Big deal. I should mention that Exodios isn't affected by Magic cards, traps and monster special abilities and he can't be destroyed in battle either!" Yubel taunted.

"But why would you send Exodia pieces to the graveyard…unless!" He exclaimed, the reason hitting him.

"When 5 Forbidden One cards are in my graveyard, Exodia's seal is broken and it's game over!" Yubel cackled.

"Oh no, then that means I have at most only 2 turns left!" He said, really shocked and both nervous at the same time…
