Yay! I'm back! Uh... again!
ForensicDuelist4137: Of course. Bad guy always gets pwned. But don't tell the kura-fans that!!
Vyser Dragoon: No, not Diabound. It's an original monster I made. Oh, and I'll read chapter 62 (i think?) of DT later today.
Ninja Wolf 25: Lol. Double-0 lp isn't that bad. Wait til we get to triple and quadruple-0 lp ;-)
IceColdFlame: Well, of course Bakura won. The villains can't lose those essential duels where if they lose, they lose everything. Except the final duel. As I say repeatadly, in most fanfics, you can tell who is going to win each duel, so it's not about seeing who wins, it's about seeing the moves that are made, and how whoever it is wins.
Rakuren: Yeah, you had a 'type' urself :-P And I imagine that it takes a lot of energy for Shadi to time travel, so I think he lunged into the duel to just get it over with. Well, it has high ATK, and is immune to targetting effects. That's it. Smashing Ground, anyone?
redgirl90: Short but sweet. Thanks for the review :-)
Crazy Little Devil: Yay! New reviewer!! Whee!! Thanks for RERing!! Oh, and you won't see it in this chapter... sorry 'bout that. You'll see it next time Bakura duels, so don't worry.
Well, just so everyone knows, you all are being rewarded by 2 weeks of waiting with... a pointless filler!! YAY!!! OK, so it isn't such a good prize... However, while I think this is an okay duel, I think that every other duel in the fic from now on is really awesome. Next chapter has an awesome decktype dueling, with an awesome ending. The duel after that... well... I guess you guys will see, so I won't spoil it. Whee!! Time for this chapter! RER!!
Oh, and this first part is dedicated to Ryu Jonesu, for helping me so much with my fic XD You'll see how it's dedicated when you read it...
Chapter 31: Illusionist Faceless Mage
'Are you sure about this?' Chris asked as he walked through the Cathedral at a brisk pace.
'Yes,' Yami answered. 'I've been thinking about it for a few days now. As time goes on, Bakura's attacks will just become more and more relentless. We must get as many allies as possible.
'I'll take over now,' Yami announced when Chris reached the door to the small room.
'Okay,' Chris said as he surrendered control of his body.
Yami entered the small room, and then the HTS tube. He exited the tube into Casatos' office, with Casatos' chair turned away.
"Chancellor Casatos, we must ta—" Yami stopped talking when the chair turned around, revealing a man who was not Casatos.
The man had dark hazel eyes and hair, with a few strands of silver hair. His hair had two layers—one short and one long—but he wore the long one back. He wore a black version of a Duel Academy uniform. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm not Chancellor Casatos," The man said with an amused smirk.
"Then who are you?" Yami demanded.
"Chancellor Shisa," The man answered.
"Where's Chancellor Casatos?" Yami asked.
"You sure do ask a lot of questions," Shisa sighed. "I'm normally Vice-Chancellor, but since Casatos isn't here now I'm the Chancellor."
"Has Casatos been… f-fired?" Yami continued to ask, a little afraid.
"No, no, no!" Shisa laughed. "Nothing like that! He left for medical purposes. I think it was something with his… eyes."
When Yami heard that, he felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him. After a few moments of silence, Chris sighed, 'Looks like Bakura got to Casatos first.'
'Yes… now he has three Millennium Items. Three of the most powerful Millennium Items,' Yami added.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Shisa said, asking a question himself.
"Well, it's really something I could only talk to Chancellor Casatos about," Yami said.
"Would you like me to tell Casatos that you wanted to speak with him when I get the chance to contact him? What's your name?"
"Chris Gold," Yami replied.
"Oh, so you're Christopher Gold," Shisa said, now inspecting Yami more closely. "I'm looking forward to your parents' tag team match this weekend. How do you think they'll do?"
"W-Well, I," Yami was still a little shocked from hearing the news about Casatos, and he really didn't know much about Chris' parents.
"Oh, forget it," Shisa laughed. "I'm sure people ask you stuff like that all the time. I won't bother you with mindless chitchat. You can go now."
"Thank you, Chancellor Shisa," Yami bowed before he left.
'So what should we do now that Bakura has three Millennium Items?' Chris asked.
'Try to get them back,' Yami confidently said. 'However, we'll probably need to wait for him to attack us in order to do that. But I'm sure we'll be able to survive each of his assaults.'
'What if we attack first?' Chris suggested. 'I'm sure Sam could find where Manukan's dorm is, and we could go confront Bakura there.'
'That's not a bad idea,' Yami remarked. 'But I'm not sure it will work.'
'It's worth a try.'
'If we lose that duel, it's over,' Yami countered.
'If we lose any duel, it's over,' Chris reminded.
'I guess you're right,' Yami sighed. 'Let's go get Sam.'
They quickly reached Chris' dorm and entered, where Sam was busy on his computer.
"Hey, Sam, could you find out which room Manukan lives in?"
"Sure, uh…"
"Yami."
"Okay, Yami," Sam said as he began typing in his computer again. "I think I'm starting to see the differences between you and Chris."
"That's good," Yami said.
"I got it," Sam declared after a few more moments. "And you're not going to believe it."
"Why? What's his room number?" Yami asked, looking over at the computer screen.
"666R," Sam said.
"That can't be," Yami said in disbelief.
"It is," sighed Sam. "Go on and see if he's there. I'll try to keep track of things from here."
"Okay," Yami said as he exited the dorm.
'Yami, do you think that that's just a twist of fate, or Bakura somehow made that happen?' Chris asked.
'I honestly have no idea,' Yami sighed. 'Either way, we just have to try to forget about it. It will just make use nervous, and then we won't duel as well.'
'Yeah,' Chris agreed.
After a few minutes Chris and Yami stood in front of the door to 666R. While the door numbers to Ra dorms were usually painted in yellow, this one was ominously painted in red. In addition, the some of the paint had dripped down as it dried, giving the '666R' the appearance as if it had been painted with blood.
'Should we really try this?' Chris gulped.
'It was your idea,' Yami smirked. 'Are you going to back out now?'
'I guess not,' Chris sighed. He took a deep breath to mentally prepare himself. 'All right! Let's do this!'
Yami knocked on the door once, and then tried turning the door handle, which was surprisingly unlocked. He cautiously entered the single room. The floor, walls, and ceiling were all painted with a black and white checkerboard pattern. Despite having no lights or windows, the room was brightly lit.
"What is this?" Yami murmured to himself. He took a step inside, and the door automatically closed. When Yami turned around he couldn't even see where the door was any more, since it blended with the wall so well.
"I'm glad you've come," A voice said.
Yami quickly turned around again, but no one was there. "Who's saying that?!"
"Let me reveal myself," The voice chuckled. The person talking took a step forward, revealing himself. He wore a jester-like costume that completely covered himself—including his face—and blended with the wallpaper since it had the same pattern. He had been standing in a location that almost perfectly camouflaged him with the wall and floor.
"Is that you, Bakura?" Yami asked.
"It's me in mind, but not in body," Bakura replied.
"Is this your dorm?"
"No," Bakura laughed. "I just set up this trap in case you decided to confront me directly! I was able to change the Duel Academy computers to make it seem like this is my dorm room. Now then, I'll leave my puppet so he can take your Millennium Puzzle."
The figure went limp for a moment, but then stood straight up again. "Welcome to my dorm!" The figure laughed.
"Who are you?" Yami demanded.
"I'm not going to give you my real name, but you can call me Chess," The figure answered. "Now then, are you ready to duel?" He asked as a matching checkerboard duel disk unfolded.
"I'm always ready!" Yami replied as his duel disk unfolded.
"Let's duel!" They shouted.
Chess: 4000; Yami: 4000"I'll go first," Chess declared as he drew (6).
'He reminds me of Arkana,' Yami thought as Chess made his move.
"I begin this duel with the spell card known as Search for a Hero (5)! Now since I have no monsters in my field or hand," Chess quickly flashed his hand to confirm this, "I can add a monster from my deck to my hand! However, this might take a little bit, since I have only six monsters in my deck: three copies of two monsters."
'If he only has two different monsters his deck must focus on them,' Yami reasoned as Chess searched his deck. 'Therefore, if I can destroy his monsters quickly I should be able to win the duel!'
"Here it is!" Chess exclaimed as he took a card from his deck. He didn't even bother placing it in his hand, but instead immediately slapped it onto his duel disk. "Meet Dark Mime (0/0)!" His monster was, if anything, strange. He wore a similar jester costume to Chess, except the checkerboard colors varied in different parts of the outfit, but the colors always clashed. Dark Mime appeared, doing the cliché 'stuck in a box' routine. "I'll give Dark Mime some defense with a set card (4), and then let you make your move."
"Draw (6)!" Yami shouted. "I start with Obnoxious Celtic Guardian (5;1400/1200)!" His celtic warrior appeared, already gripping his sword. Dark Mime mimicked Yami's monster, holding an invisible sword in his hands.
"Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, attack Dark Mime with Elvin Blade!" Yami commanded. The two creatures rushed forwards. Dark Mime attacked with his invisible sword, while Obnoxious Celtic Guardian used his gleaming steel sword. Both monsters swung their swords, but afterwards neither were destroyed. "Nothing happened," Yami murmured.
"Not exactly," Chris smirked. "Look at Dark Mime."
Yami gasped as Dark Mime's attack increased to 700. "What's going on? Why did Dark Mime's attack increase?"
"Simple," Chess explained. "Whenever you attack Dark Mime he gains half of your monster's attack. I didn't take any damage because I used my Waboku trap card."
'That's an interesting choice for a monster to base a deck on,' Yami thought. 'I wonder what spells and traps he uses to support Dark Mime. And on top of that, what is his other monster?' "End turn."
"I draw (5), set another card (4), and end my turn," Chess simply played.
"Then I already get to draw again (6)," Yami declared. "I tribute Obnoxious Celtic Guardian to summon Archfiend of Gilfer (5;2200/2500)!" The warrior disappeared, and in its place was a large red demon. "Now, Archfiend of Gilfer, attack Dark Mime with Gilfer Claw!"
Archfiend of Gilfer leaped forward, as did Dark Mime, as if he had claws. However, right before the battle, Archfiend of Gilfer drastically decreased in size, allowing Dark Mime to destroy it.
Chess: 4000; Yami: 3300"What happened?!" Yami asked as Dark Mime's attack rose to 1800. He tried to instinctively take a step back in surprise, but was unable to do so. "And why can't I move my legs!?"
"First off, I simply used my Shrink card," Chess answered. "So while Archfiend of Gilfer's attack decreased to eleven-hundred, Dark Mime's attack increased to eighteen-hundred."
'I see his strategy now,' Yami thought. 'He uses spells and traps to stop his opponent's attacks or weaken the attack, allowing Dark Mime to destroy the monsters.' "But why can't I move my legs?"
"That has a simple answer too," Chess explained. Yami could tell Chess was smirking. "I know you've played Shadow Games where as your lifepoints decrease, your body disappears. However, this Shadow Game is a bit different. Instead, when you lose your lifepoints, part of your body freezes!"
"But why would Bakura make a Shadow Game do that?" Yami inquired. "If he wants to freeze me so it's easier to take my Millennium Puzzle if I lose, then there's no point because I'd already be too weakened to run from the Shadow Game!"
"I guess you still don't know!" Chess laughed. "The reason he wants you immobile is so he can use his Millennium Key on you!"
'The Millennium… Key? When did he get that!? That means he has at least half of the Millennium Items… Does it also mean he has the Millennium Scales? And since he has the Millennium Key, I mustn't lose!'
'What's so bad about having Bakura use the Millennium Key on you?' Chris asked.
'If he uses the Millennium Key, he'll be able to rearrange my mind, most probably turning me evil. And if I'm evil, with me and Bakura's combined power…'
'Oh, I see,' Chris said. 'You really can't lose this duel!'
"Archfiend of Gilfer now activates its effect!" Yami shouted, concentrating on the game again. His creature rose up from the ground, and grasped Dark Mime. "Now Dark Mime's attack decreases to 1300!"
"Not exactly," Chess smirked as Archfiend of Gilfer shattered. "Dark Mime's attack can only be changed by his own effect, meaning Archfiend of Gilfer won't work."
"Then I'll end my turn with Swords of Revealing Light (4)! This will prevent you from attacking for three turns!" Yami played as he concluded his turn.
"I'll have to pass," Chess sighed after he drew a card (5)
Yami drew a card (5), and then set it into his duel disk (4). "I set this card to end my turn."
"I pass again," Chess declared (6).
'I'm running out of time with Swords of Revealing Light,' Yami angrily thought as he drew (5). 'And if I want to beat Dark Mime in battle, I'll need to summon a monster with over 3600 attack! And now I think I know how…' "I bring out Queen's Knight (4;1500/1600) in defense mode!" The blonde woman appeared, wearing her pink armor. She sheathed her sword, and held her shield in front of her. "End turn."
Chess drew his card (7), and immediately activated it (6). "Pot of Greed let's me draw two cards (8)! Then I play Pot of Edacity (7), removing Pot of Greed from play to draw two more cards (9)!" A black version of Pot of Greed appeared, and Chess laughed when he saw his new cards. "Here's my other monster! I summon Mask of Tantalus (8;200/700)!" His strange mask materialized on the field. It depicted a deformed, morphed, red, yellow, green, and blue face. The mask then floated up and attached itself to Dark Mime.
"What's happening?" Yami asked. Mask of Tantalus reminded him of his tag duel with Umbra and Lumis, but they didn't use that card in the duel.
"It's a Union Monster," Chess quickly explained. "That means he can equip to one of my monsters. So now let me show you its effect!" The mask glowed, and slowly Queen's Knight stood up and drew her sword. "Not only does Mask of Tantalus switch your monsters to attack mode, but now you must attack Dark Mime whenever possible! I end my turn with these two cards (6), so now your Swords of Revealing Light is destroyed!"
The shining swords shattered as Yami drew a card (5). "You want me to attack Dark Mime? Well then, I think I'll humor you! I summon King's Knight (4;1600/1400) who will in turn summon Jack's Knight (1900/1000)!" The orange-clad bearded warrior appeared, and then the younger blue-clad warrior appeared in a burst of light.
"Thank you very much for humoring me!" Chess laughed, doing math in his head. "With all those attacks, Dark Mime's attack will increase to 4300! Despite that, your lifepoints will be reduced to zero!"
"Oh, don't worry," Yami smirked. "I'm not attacking with these knights. I play Polymerization (3), which will fuse King's Knight, Queen's Knight, and Jack's Knight into Alkana Knight Joker (3800/2500)!" The three poker knights fused, forming a large purple-clad warrior. "Alkana Knight Joker will attack Dark Mime, whose attack will only increase to 3700!"
"It doesn't matter that your monster has more attack!" Chess countered. "I activate Nightmare Mirror, so now your attack will be negated and you will receive one-thousand points of damage!"
"Your trap card doesn't matter either," Yami replied. "By discarding Zero Gravity from my hand (2) I can negate your trap!"
"Oh no," Chess murmured as Alkana Knight Joker ran forward. Dark Mime tried to use an invisible sword to slash through Alkana Knight Joker, but Alkana Knight Joker's real sword was more powerful.
Chess: 3900; Yami: 3300"Well, even if that barely did any damage, I still destroyed your monster!" Yami smiled. "Without Dark Mime, it's only a matter of turns before you're defeated my Alkana Knight Joker!" Yami stared at one of the cards in his hand for a moment. 'This card could be the best way to destroy Dark Mime if he gets another one, but I need to wait until the right moment to use it.' "I end my turn by setting this card (1)." A vertical card backing appeared, giving Yami two set cards.
"It doesn't matter if you destroyed Dark Mime, for I'll just bring him back!" Chess shouted as he drew (7). "I activate Deafening Encore (6), so by simply discarding two cards (4) I can bring back Dark Mime with all thirty-seven-hundred attack points intact!" The room dimmed as a thunderous applause sounded from nowhere. A spotlight shone down onto Chess' field, where Dark Mime appeared in a puff of smoke.
"It doesn't matter if he has 3700 attack points," Yami said. "Mask of Tantalus is gone, so you can't force Alkana Knight Joker to attack!"
"I don't need to force Alkana Knight Joker to attack," Chess countered. "In fact, I'll prevent him from attacking with Nightmare Chains (3)!"
'Arkana used that card!' Yami remembered as multiple chains shot out of the ground, tying Alkana Knight Joker to a gray slab of material that appeared. 'And since I don't have any spell cards in my hand, I can't negate Nightmare Chains.'
"Now Dark Mime, attack Yami directly!" Chess demanded.
'He knows about me?' Yami wondered as he activated his trap card. 'I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, since Bakura used the Millennium Rod on him.' "I use my own Negate Attack to stop the attack."
"Then I end my turn."
When Yami drew his card (2), his face immediately lit up. "What a magnificent draw! I can now use Mystical Space Typhoon (1) to destroy Nightmare Chains, freeing my Alkana Knight Joker!" A gust of wind surrounded Alkana Knight Joker, destroying the chains. 'However, now we are in a stalemate. I can't attack Dark Mime with Alkana Knight Joker, because then its attack would become 5600, but Dark Mime can't attack Alkana Knight Joker since its attack is only 3700 now.' "End turn."
"Hey, I finally figured it out!" Chess laughed as he drew (4).
"Figured what out?" Yami asked, partially afraid of what the answer might be.
"What part of me is frozen!" Chess answered. "I lost one-hundred lifepoints, but I couldn't figure out what got frozen. Now I just did!" He lifted his left and then right foot, revealing they were straight. "The bottom of my feet!" Chess laughed. "The bottom of my feet, so I can't bend my feet, while your entire legs are frozen! What luck on my part! However," Chess continued, his tone transforming from joking to malicious, "More than your legs are about to be frozen! I activate Miming Performance (3)!"
The spotlight reappeared, and Dark Mime began to do the cliché stuck-in-a-box routine, causing his attack to increase to 4650. "Now, Dark Mime, attack and destroy Alkana Knight Joker!"
'Yes! Now is the time!' Yami mentally cheered. "It's not my monster who will get destroyed! I chain Reverse Trap, so instead of gaining 4650 attack, Dark Mime will lose 4650 attack! However, since he has a base attack of zero, his attack will become zero. Of course, it is also too late to take back your attack." Dark Mime's attack rapidly decreased to nothing, allowing it to be destroyed by Alkana Knight Joker.
Chess: 100; Yami: 3300"Looks like it's you who has more than their legs frozen," Yami smirked.
I can't believe this! Chess screamed in his head. He was able to defeat my Dark Mime like that?! And now everything but my mouth, elbows and hands are frozen! "To end my turn," Yami could tell Chess was having some trouble speaking, "I activate Nightmare's Steelcage (2), halting attacks for two turns."
Yami drew a card (2) as the steel cage appeared, trapping in him and Alkana Knight Joker, and then passed.
Chess drew a card (3), and then immediately activated it (2). "I used another Deafening Encore, so by discarding the rest of my hand (0) I can bring back Dark Mime with 3700 attack again! I'll then end my turn."
'This is the last turn we're affected by Nightmare's Steelcage,' Yami thought, looking through large spiked cage at Chess as he drew (3). "First I set a monster (2), then another card from my hand (1), and end my turn."
The cage shattered as Chess drew a card (1). "I use Card of Sanctity (0), so now we each draw until we have six cards (6)!" After looking over his new hand for a moment, Chess continued his turn. "Now I play Smashing Ground (5), which will destroy Alkana Knight Joker. You can't negate it because it doesn't target, too!"
Yami groaned as his powerful monster shattered into pixels.
"Now Dark Mime attacks your set monster!" Chess continued his turn. Dark Mime floated forward to Yami's monster, which seemed to be a younger version of Dark Magician. Since the magician was in defense, Dark Mime didn't mimic it, but instead simply punched the monster. "Now then, I conclude my turn with three face-downs (2)."
"Now I draw (7)—"
"And now I activate my three face-downs!" Chess countered. "The first one, Light of Intervention, stops you from setting monsters. The second one, Final Attack Orders, switches all face-up monsters to attack mode. The third one, Eternal Fighting Spirit, forces all attack mode monsters to attack! So as you should be able to see, this will force any monster you summon to attack Dark Mime!"
"Again, if you want me to attack, I'll be happy to comply," Yami said in a combination of a sigh and a smirk. "I summon Winged Kuriboh (6;300/200), and as your trap cards dictate, use it to attack Dark Mime." The small winged furball flew forward, and Dark Mime floated forward in a similar manner. When they collided, Winged Kuriboh disappeared in a small 'poof', and Dark Mime's attack increased to 3850. "I end my turn with this set trap (5)."
"How dare you mock me with your pathetic Winged Kuriboh!" Chess angrily shouted as he drew (3). "Now, Dark Mime, direct attack on Yami! I may only win with 100 lifepoints left, but I'll still win!"
"Not so fast!" Yami shouted as his trap card flipped face-up. "Revenge of Dark Magic summons back the Dark Magician's Apprentice (1200/1000) you destroyed earlier!"
"2650 damage is still a lot," Chess simply said.
"It's not 2650 damage, because Dark Magician's Apprentice reduces all battle damage to my lifepoints to zero!" Yami shouted as his young magician was destroyed.
"Fine," Chess sighed. "I'm getting tired of you avoiding defeat. I end my turn."
"You're getting tired of me avoiding defeat?" Yami asked as he drew a card (6). "You're the one who only has 100 lifepoints left! Anyway, I pay half my lifepoints to activate Dark Magic Curtain (5), special summoning Dark Magician (2500/2100) from my deck!" A purple curtain held up by a skeleton appeared as Yami's lifepoints decreased. After a moment, the skeleton pulled open the curtain, revealing the Dark Magician. When Dark Magician appeared, Yami instantly felt his torso tighten up.
Chess: 100; Yami: 1650"And now that I have Dark Magician, I can use Scroll of Dark Magic (4)!" An aged scroll appeared in Dark Magician's hands. He then began to read a strange chant from the scroll, causing a glowing card to appear in front of Yami. Taking the card (5), Yami explained, "Scroll of Dark Magic lets me add a trap in my deck to my hand. I'll set it now (4)."
"Setting a trap card won't help you," Chess said. "You have to attack Dark Mime because of Eternal Fighting Spirit. That will increase Dark Mime's attack to 5100, so you'll lose!"
"That's why I have this next card," Yami explained, sliding it into his duel disk (3). Dark Magician's staff transformed into a gleaming sword, and his attack increased to 5000. "This is Excalibur. It doubles Dark Magician's attack! So now, although Dark Mime's attack will increase to 6350 when I attack, I'll only take 1350 damage. Dark Magician, attack with Shining Sword Slash!" Dark Magician gripped his sword in both hands, and Dark Mime did the same with his invisible sword. Both rushed forward and slashed at each other, but Dark Mime is the one who succeeded.
Chess: 100; Yami: 300With the damage, everything but Yami's arms and head froze up. 'We both have barely any lifepoints left,' Yami thought. 'This duel will probably be over next turn… I just hope I'm the victor.' "To protect my lifepoints, I activate Reincarnation of Dark Magic (2). Since Dark Magician was destroyed I can bring out Dark Magician Girl (2000+300/1700)." The female spellcaster appeared, along with a transparent Dark Magician, increasing her attack power. "I end my turn."
"It's over!" Chess yelled after he drew (4). "Dark Mime, attack Dark Magician Girl with your 6350 attack points!" Dark Magician Girl raised her staff and fired a pink energy beam, while Dark Mime shot a black energy beam with an invisible staff. The two attacks collided and seemed equal for a moment, but then the black energy then pushed the pink energy beam back.
Seeing that her attack was failing, Dark Magician girl immediately gave up on her attack. The black energy rushed at her, but right before the attack collided she side-stepped, so the attack was absorbed by a purple cylinder.
"What was that?" Chess asked.
"Magic Cylinder," Yami proudly responded.
"Wait, but does that mean—" Chess was cut off when a second cylinder appeared in front of him, unleashing his own monster's attack upon him. The force of the attack sent Chess flying all the way across the room, knocking him against the wall. Because the Shadow Game froze him, he wasn't able to brace himself or get back up.
Chess: 0; Yami: 300'I'm glad that's over with,' Yami sighed as his body returned to normal. However, he could see Chess was still frozen.
'We need to help him!' Chris said.
'Yes, you're right,' Yami agreed. He walked over to Chess, and his Millennium Puzzle started to glow. 'I hope this works… I'm not entirely sure this will unfreeze him.' "Mind Crush!" Yami screamed, holding out his right palm.
A few moments after the Mind Crush, Chess' body fell limp.
'It did work!' Chris happily exclaimed as Yami excited the room to go back and tell Sam what happened. 'So, since we beat him a duel, do we get one of Bakura's Millennium Items?'
'No,' Yami responded, 'Since it wasn't Bakura who was actually dueling.
'However, now we must be even more careful. Bakura has the Millennium Ring, Eye, Rod, Key, and maybe the Scales. That's a majority of the Millennium Items. We have to be ready for anything.'
'Can't we just use Sarah's Millennium Necklace to see what Bakura will do?' Chris asked.
'No,' Yami sadly answered. 'Bakura is using his powers to block the Millennium Necklace. He has over a majority of the items, and we still don't know what he's trying to do.'
'Don't worry, I'm sure we'll succeed!' Chris optimistically said.
'I hope you're right,' Yami sighed. But I don't think you are, He continued to think. Bakura is getting more and more powerful, while we're not making any progress. Bakura took Chancellor Casatos away, and he'll probably try to take away more of Chris' friends…Stay strong, Chris. Stay strong…
I was happy when I was able to get Chess down to 100 lp. He had barely any lp, but then he took control of the duel, so I liked it XD Hope you weren't confused by not explaining all the original cards too much...
and now that you've read all the way down here, RER!! XD
