Chapter 38: Gamble

'Congratulations,' Yami said as Chris got up.

'Yeah, it's finally the day,' Chris replied as he got ready. After putting on his blazer he just stayed in his room and took out his deck. A knot in his stomach prevented him from eating.

'Chris, I know you're worried, but you won't do well on an empty stomach,' Yami warned.

'Fine, I'll ask Sam to bring me back something,' Chris sighed. He took out his PDA and wrote Sam a short message. 'You happy?'

'You should do that for yourself, not for me,' Yami remarked.

'But I really need to do well on this!' Chris exclaimed. 'Today is the day we all have our graduation duels!'

'I know,' Yami replied. 'Yesterday was your last day of classes, which is why I congratulated you. You were able to get through all of them.'

'Maybe you shouldn't congratulate me until I win my graduation duel,' Chris sighed.

'It's a bit late for that thought, isn't it?'

'Can we stop talking now, please?' Chris asked. 'It's a little difficult to work on my deck when I'm having a conversation with you. No offense…'

'No, no. I understand,' Yami agreed.

Chris took a deep breath, and got back to work on his deck. After about twenty minutes Chris got up and walked to his dresser.

'Taking a break?' Yami asked.

'Sort of…'

Chris used his key to unlock the bottom drawer, and took out the Millennium Necklace. He paused a moment, remembering how he got it.


"Here," Sarah said, holding out her Millennium Necklace to Chris. "Take it."

"Wh-What?" Chris stammered. It was the day Mira had defeated her. After she regained consciousness, Sarah sought out Chris and explained what happened. Then she presented him with her necklace.

"I want you to have it," Sarah insisted, pushing the Millennium Necklace into Chris' hands.

"No, I couldn't take it!" Chris objected, pushing it back.

"It's for its safety," Sarah explained. "Bakura easily took it from me. I'd feel much safer if it was with Yami."

"So I'm not good enough?"

"No, I didn't mean it like that!" Sarah shouted. "It's just that Yami is supposed to be the greatest duelist in all of time, so I think he should be handling the Millennium Items and the duels concerning them! And if he has them all, he will probably be doing all of the dueling involving them."

"I guess you're right," Chris sighed as he took the Millennium Necklace.

"Thank you," Sarah smiled, bowing to Chris.


Chris closed his eyes, put the Millennium Necklace to his neck, and concentrated. A vision started to form, until…

'CHRIS!' Yami screamed.

'What?' Chris asked, opening his eyes and breaking his concentration.

'I could tell what you were doing,' Yami said. 'I didn't stop you at first, because I thought you were trying to see what Bakura was going to do again, but you were trying to look into your graduation duel! That's cheating!'

'I know, but it would make me feel more comfortable—'

'If the fact that you cheated was weighing down your conscience?' Yami asked.

'You do have a point there,' Chris said.

'Whether or not I did have that point, you shouldn't cheat,' Yami scolded. Then, in a less harsh tone, he continued, 'Chris, the fact that you tried to cheat just now shows that you're having problems with your self confidence right now. But you shouldn't be. You have a great deck, and you're a great duelist. You'll do fine. And you have to truly believe that yourself, because if you don't think you can win, you won't.'

'Yeah, I guess you're right,' Chris said as he put the Millennium Necklace away. 'How did you get so good at making inspirational speeches?'

'I'm ten-thousand years old. I've had a long time to think about them,' Yami laughed.

Having taken a small break from studying, Chris went back to continue working on his deck. However, before he could even pick it up, he heard someone knocking at his door.

'I wonder who that is,' Chris thought as he got up and walked open to the door. As soon as he opened it, Sarah walked in, carrying several books. "Uh…. Hi, Sarah. What are you doing here… with a ton of books?"

"I'm here to help you study, and to prevent you from cheating," Sarah replied, smiling. She placed the books down on the table where Chris was studying.

"But how'd you know?" Chris demanded. "Besides, Yami stopped me from cheating."

"Just because I don't have the Millennium Necklace anymore doesn't mean that I don't remember the visions I saw when I did have it," Sarah winked.

"Okay, then, thanks," Chris said. "Do you know how the graduation duels even work?"

"Yes," Sarah answered. "It's basically the same as the midterms."

"Oh, okay," Chris sighed.

"Except… they ask you questions during the duel, instead of a written portion," Sarah explained. "It makes the duel a lot tougher."

"How do they ask questions when you're dueling another student?"

"They give you a special earpiece, so only you can hear," Sarah answered. "They usually ask you questions during your opponent's turn when he's thinking."

"Well, the best way to prepare for this is to practice, so why don't we duel?" Chris suggested. "We could ask each other questions randomly during the duel."

"Okay," Sarah agreed. However, just then Chris' PDA went off.

"Do I have my graduation duel already?" Chris wondered aloud. He took out his PDA, and then immediately tensed up.

"What is it?" Sarah worriedly asked.

She was answered when she heard Bakura's voice sound from the PDA.

"Greetings, Pharaoh and Chris," The message began. "As you know, it is almost the end of this school year, and our battle still hasn't finished. That is why I am making this offer. I wish to have a single, final duel. A duel with no strings attached, where we each bet all of our Millennium Items. Come to Dueling Arena 4 in your Dueling Complex. I know it is a risk, but it is in your best interest to accept my challenge… I'll be waiting." And with that, the message ended.

After a moment Chris declared, "Yami wants to do it." The Millennium Puzzle then briefly glowed, indicating Yami was now in control.

"I'll be going now," Yami said as he began to leave.

"Wait!" Sarah put her hand on Yami's shoulder as he opened the door.

"What is it, Sarah?" Yami asked.

"I… have an idea," Sarah replied.


'I wonder how this duel will go,' Yami wondered as he wandered through the Dueling Complex, approaching Duel Arena 4. 'Does Bakura have a new strategy waiting? And will Sarah's plan work?'

Now he was standing in front of Duel Arena 4. He took a deep breath and entered to find Bakura waiting.

"Greetings, Pharaoh," Bakura grinned. "Do you have all of your Millennium Items with you?"

"Yes," Yami answered, taking out the Millennium Necklace and Scales. He carefully placed them on the floor next to him.

"Good," Bakura grunted as he motioned to the Millennium Eye, Key, and Rod on the ground next to him.

"Then shall we begin the duel?" Yami asked as his duel disk activated.

"Yes, we shall," Bakura replied as he followed suit.

"Let's duel!" The spirits shouted as a dark sphere of mist appeared, signaling a Shadow Game.

Bakura: 4000; Yami: 4000

"I will start," Bakura declared as he drew (6). "I bring out Necro Soldier (5;0/0) in defense mode, and set another card (4). End turn."

"That move was a little bland, wasn't it?" Yami asked as he drew (6) and Necro Soldier multiplied. "However, I'll start this duel off with a bang, or more specifically, Skilled Dark Magician (5;1900/1700)! Attack a Necro Soldier!" In a flash of dark light, the black-clad magician appeared. He raised his staff, and used it to destroy one of the zombie soldiers.

"I end my turn with these two set cards (3)," Yami declared.

"Then it's my draw!" Bakura shouted as he ripped a card off his deck (5). He flipped around his new card, showing it to Yami. "Smashing Ground (4) will easily take care of your magician."

"It's won't be as easy as you think," Yami countered. "By paying 1500 points I can activate My Body as a Shield, protecting my monster!" A large pole-like foot tried to descend upon Skilled Dark Magician, but it was stopped by an invisible barrier as Yami's life points decreased.

Bakura: 4000; Yami: 2500

"That is a heavy price for one monster," Bakura remarked.

"Every monster is special to me, and I'll do anything to protect them," Yami spat. "Not that I'd expect you to understand."

"Of course I can understand!" Bakura exclaimed. "Field presence is very important in duel monsters, and keeping Skilled Dark Magician on the field might help you in the long run. Especially since he now gains two spell counters.

"To continue my turn I'll tribute a Necro Soldier! That means I can summon Dark Ruler Ha Des (3;2450/1600)!" The zombie disappeared, and the aristocratic fiend rose in its place. "Next I play Rising Darkness (2), so Dark Ruler Ha Des gains 600 attack points. Of course, Skilled Dark Magician will gain a third spell counters, but I won't give you a chance to now use his effect! Dark Ruler Ha Des, attack the Pharaoh's monster!"

Dark Ruler Ha Des took a good portion from his wine glass (which quickly refilled itself), and then tried to spit it out onto Skilled Dark Magician. However, Skilled Dark Magician was protected by another invisible barrier.

"Negate Attack prevented my monster from being destroyed," Yami smirked. "Now I will be able to use his effect next turn."

"Fine, just go," Bakura sighed.

"Thank you, I will," Yami said, drawing a card (4). "I now tribute Skilled Dark Magician to bring out the original Dark Magician (2500/2100)!" Skilled Dark Magician glowed, and became Yami's famous purple-robed magician. "I pay 1000 life points to activate Diffusion Wave-Motion (3)! Now Dark Magician can attack all of your monster!"

Bakura: 4000; Yami: 1500

"Why would you want to do that?" Bakura laughed as Dark Magician gained a dark aura. "Dark Ruler Ha Des has more attack points!"

"Not for long," Yami replied. "By equipping Dark Magician with Dark Magician's Tome of Black Magic (2) his attack will increase to 3200! Now attack Dark Ruler Ha Des and Necro Soldier!" A large book appeared in Dark Magician's hands, boosting his aura even more. He raised his staff and destroyed both of Bakura's monsters, and a few of his life points.

Bakura: 3850; Yami: 1500

"Now you are about to see one of Dark Magician's ultimate evolutions!" Yami declared. "I don't know what Industrial Illusions was thinking when they made this creature's name, but his effect is nothing to laugh about! Since Dark Magician destroyed all of your monsters, I may tribute him to summon Dark Paladin – The Ultimate Swords Master of the Spellcaster Rage (1;2900/2400)!!"

Dark Magician glowed, and began to change. He transformed into a large muscular swordsman with light blue skin and yellow eyes. He had magnificent navy blue armor covered in yellow jewels. He had a similar spiked steel sword.

"Oh well, you still don't have many life points left," Bakura shrugged.

"Actually, since Dark Magician's Tome of Black Magic was sent to the graveyard, I recover the points I paid for Diffusion Wave-Motion."

Bakura: 3850; Yami: 2500

"To conclude my turn, I set the last card in my hand (0)," Yami declared.

Bakura drew a card (3), and then smirked. "I summon Newdoria (2;1200/800)! If you happen to destroy him, your monster will also be destroyed!"

"Yes, but that only applies to battle, and I shall destroy him right now with my set Fissure!" Yami countered as his spell card flipped face-up. As the gruesome zombie appeared on Bakura's field, a large crack in the ground appeared underneath it, destroying it.

"You can't do that!" Bakura objected. "Fissure is a normal spell card!"

"That doesn't matter," Yami explained, gesturing to his Dark Paladin. "Dark Paladin's special ability turns all of my spell cards into quick-plays. That means I have access to spell on both of our turns!"

'This could be bad,' Bakura thought. 'He has many spell cards in his deck. However, spell cards were made to be played on your turn, and not many have effects that would be more effective during the opponent's turn.' "Since I just used up my normal summon, I have to end."

"Draw (1)!" Yami shouted. After quickly inspecting his new card, Yami ordered Dark Paladin to attack. However, Bakura's trap card activated, and Newdoria reappeared.

"Call of the Haunted revived my monster," Bakura quickly explained. "I doubt you'll want to attack him."

"Yes," Yami admitted. "I'll have to set this (0) and end my turn."

"Then I draw (3)!" Bakura shouted. "I summon Death Caliber Knight (2;1900/1800)! Now Newdoria will attack Dark Paladin!"

"Counterattack with Dark Magic Attack!" Yami commanded as the zombie jumped forward. Dark Paladin used a flash of dark magic to destroy Newdoria, but after that… nothing happened.

"Why didn't Newdoria's effect activate?!" Bakura demanded.

"Simple," Yami smirked. "When I said 'Dark Magic Attack' I was referring to my set spell card, not the actual attack. It destroyed Call of the Haunted, and thus Newdoria was destroyed."

"Then I'll just have to replace Call of the Haunted with this card (1)," Bakura announced as another card backing appeared on his field. "End turn."

Yami drew (1), and immediately activated his card (0). "Graceful Charity activates! I now draw three cards (3)," Yami inspected his cards for a few moments, "And then discard two (1)! Now I attack Death Caliber Knight with Dark Paladin!" Yami's monster rushed forward and cleaved right through the ghostly warrior.

Bakura: 2850; Yami: 2500

"Since I have nothing left to do, you may go."

"Thank you," Bakura said as he drew (2). "Here's a card you should be familiar with: Swords of Revealing Light (1)! As you know, this immobilizes your monster for three turns! Since I'm safe from battle, I'll just end my turn without any monsters."

Yami growled as several shining swords descended upon Dark Paladin. Yami silently drew a card (2). "I summon Queen's Knight (1;1500/1600) and end my turn." The blonde female knight appeared, showing off her pink armor.

"That's one turn," Bakura announced as he drew a card (2). "I set a monster (1) and end."

Yami drew a card (2), and his face lit up. "Time to bolster my army of magicians! By tributing Queen's Knight I can bring out Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700)!" The female warrior burst into pixels, and another beautiful blonde appeared in her place, sporting blue and pink armor. She twirled around for a few moments in pink bubbles that had appeared when she materialized. "I end my turn."

"That means your next turn is the last turn for Swords of Revealing Light," Bakura noted as he drew (2). "Dark Paladin will be able to attack. Well, he would if I didn't use Sealing Sword of Dead Spirits (1) on him! Now you won't be able to use him until a monster is sent to your graveyard."

'That might take a while since I'm only on the offensive now,' Yami realized.

"I'll just end my turn," Bakura smirked.

Yami drew a card (2) and sighed. "I pass. However, now Swords of Revealing Light wears off."

"How true, but I do not need it any more!" Bakura laughed as he drew (2) as a grinning green pot appeared on his field. "Pot of Greed (1) lets me draw two cards from my deck (3)." However, almost immediately after the green pot disappeared, a similar jar appeared. "I just drew Urn of Greed (2). All I must do is remove my Necro Soldiers from play, and I can draw two more cards (4)!

"Now then, for my turn… I think I'll activate my trap monster, Dead Spirit – Zoma (1800/500)! However, I'll tribute him for Diabound (3;1800/1600)! Then I equip him with Afterimage of Ghost (2)." A small skeletal dragon appeared, but was replaced by a white fiend. He had two small wings, a muscular torso, and his tail was a large snake.

Bakura thought Yami would be frightened, seeing his ultimate monster from Ancient Egypt. However, when he discovered that Yami was unfazed, Bakura continued, "Next I'll set a trap (1), flip summon my face-down Discredited Mage (1700/1200), and end my turn."

"I draw (3), and then attack Discredited Mage with Dark Magician Girl!" Yami ordered. Dark Magician Girl fired a pink energy ball at Discredited Mage, who burst into pixels. However, then a stone tablet rose out of the ground on Bakura's field, and Discredited Mage came out of the tablet.

Bakura: 2550; Yami: 2500

"Nice shot, but not good enough," Bakura snickered. "I still have more life points than you, and I used my Revival Tablet trap card to bring back Discredited Mage."

"Then I'll just have to end my turn with this face-down (2)," Yami declared.

"I draw (2), and Afterimage of Ghost activates!" Bakura laughed. Diabound glowed, and he split into two new Diabounds! "Afterimage of Ghost gives me a Diabound Token (1800/1600) each turn. I now activate the effect of Diabound Token!" The copy of the white fiend jumped up, and landed behind Dark Magician Girl. Dark Magician Girl shrieked as the Diabound restrained her with his arms and tail, reducing her attack to 200.

"Now that Dark Magician Girl is weakened, I'll use Discredited Mage to attack her!" Bakura laughed.

"You've finally slipped up!" Yami happily declared as Discredited Mage ran forward. "As soon as Dark Magician Girl is destroyed, Dark Paladin will return to me!"

"Not exactly," Bakura chuckled as Discredited Mage drove his wand through Dark Magician Girl's . "You see, a monster Discredited Mage destroys in battle returns to your deck." Yami groaned as Dark Magician Girl was destroyed and his life points decreased.

Bakura: 2550; Yami: 1000

"Now, Diabound, direct attack! Let's see if you have anything to save yourself," Bakura smirked.

"Actually, I do," Yami stated as Diabound rushed forward. As soon as Diabound was in striking range of Yami, a strange yellow aura surrounded Yami, protecting him. "Reduction Barrier reduces the damage to ten percent!"

Bakura: 2550; Yami: 820

"What a strange life point number," Bakura remarked.

"It's better than zero," Yami replied. "Are you finished?"

"Yes, I am."

"Then it's my draw (3)!" Yami shouted. After looking over his small hand a few moments he declared, "Bakura, it's time to take you down a few notches! I activate the spell card Brain Control (2), so I can take control of Diabound for only 800 points!" A red aura surrounded Yami as Diabound jumped over to his field.

Bakura: 2550; Yami: 20

"Now I use Diabound's effect! Let's see how you like it when you are on this end of the effect," Yami sneered as Diabound constrained Discredited Mage, reducing his attack to nothing. "I set a card (1), and then since he's the last card in my hand, I can normal summon Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight (0;2300/2100) with no tributes!"

"Impressive," Bakura commented as the armored knight rode onto Yami's field, riding his purple horse. 'Of course, your assault would have been more effective if you hadn't used Diabound's effect.'

"Now, Gaia the Fierce Knight, attack Discredited Mage with Spiral Spear Strike!" Yami commanded. Gaia rode forward and drove both of his lances through Discredited Mage, but Bakura's life points didn't decrease.

"Sorry, but Discredited Mage has another effect," Bakura smirked. "By shuffling Discredited Mage and my hand into my deck (0), I can negate all the damage!"

"You'll still lose the duel soon enough," Yami shrugged. "You have no cards in your hand or field, except Sealing Sword of Dead Spirits, which won't help you much, while I have Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight! Anyway, I'll let you make your move."

"I wouldn't worry too much," Bakura chuckled as he drew (1). "We both have an uncanny ability to bounce back from bad situations like this. I don't think I need to elaborate, since you've done it so many times, so I'll just set this monster (0) and end my turn."

Yami drew a card (1), and immediately slapped his new monster onto his duel disk (0). A young girl appeared, wearing a combination of purple robes and armor. "Meet Skilled Dark Magician Girl (1500/1500)! As soon as we activate three spell cards she'll upgrade to the original Dark Magician Girl! Now then, Gaia, attack Bakura's set monster!"

Gaia roared and charged forward. He used one of his lances to destroy Bakura's monster, which was a shapeless black blob. However, as soon as the blob was destroyed, a new monster was summoned in its place. It was a skeleton dressed in medieval clothes, wielding a long sword. He crouched and placed his sword in front of him as a makeshift shield.

"The original monster you destroyed was Fusion Fiend (1000/1000)," Bakura explained. "Since your level seven Gaia the Fierce Knight destroyed Fusion Fiend, I was able to summon my level six Ghost Duke (2000/1700)! I wouldn't bother attacking, because he's only destroyed by card effects!"

"Very well, I'll end my turn," Yami sighed.

"I draw (1), and must pay 500 life points to maintain Ghost Duke," Bakura quickly explained.

Bakura: 2050; Yami: 20

"However, I have nothing else, so I must end." 'I could have switched Ghost Duke to attack mode and attacked Skilled Dark Magician Girl. That would deal enough damage to win, but I don't want to risk triggering the Pharaoh's set trap card.'

"Draw (1)!" Yami forcefully shouted. "I activate Pot of Greed (0)! Now I can draw two cards (2)!" After seeing his cards, he sighed. "I cannot use this cards… yet. I must end my turn, but only two more spell cards until I can use Skilled Dark Magician Girl's effect."

Bakura silently drew and paid his life points.

Bakura: 1550; Yami: 20

"I set a trap (1) and end," Bakura sighed.

Yami drew (3), and slid a set card into his duel disk (2). "I must copy your move."

Bakura drew a card (2), and chuckled as his life points decreased further.

Bakura: 1050; Yami: 20

"Now we can get somewhere!" Bakura shouted. "I pay most of my remaining life points to activate Delinquent Duo (1)! This will destroy the rest of your hand!" A pink demon labeled "1" and a blue demon labeled "2" appeared in front of Yami. They each took a card from Yami's hand (0), and placed it in his graveyard.

Bakura: 50; Yami: 20

"Now that you've discarded two cards, I can activate my other card: Pleasure in Pain (0)! Since you just discarded two cards, I'm allowed to draw two cards (2)," Bakura explained. "Since I'll have Ghost Duke until my next turn, I'll just end with this set card (1)."

"This duel won't last much longer," Yami noted as he drew (1). "Neither of us even have 100 life points left."

"Yes, it's only a matter of until I win," Bakura grinned.

"I doubt it," Yami snorted. "Anyway, I activate my set Dust Tornado trap card to destroy one of your set traps! Now you'll have less ways to interfere with this: since you activated Delinquent Duo and Pleasure in Pain, I can tribute Skilled Dark Magician Girl to summon Dark Magician Girl! And since Skilled Dark Magician Girl was sent to my graveyard, Dark Paladin is freed!"

Bakura just glared as two powerful monsters appeared on Yami's field. They glared back at Bakura for having destroyed them earlier.

"Since I can't destroy Ghost Duke, I'll end my turn with another set card (0)," Yami sighed.

"Not so fast, I activate the trap you didn't destroy!" Bakura cackled as "DE" appeared on his field.

"Destiny Board," Yami murmured.

"That's right! Now then, I believe it was my draw (2)," Bakura said. "All I need to do is set this card (1) and end my turn. Your monsters are so weak I don't even need a monster of my own."

"You are calling my monsters weak?!" Yami demanded as he drew a card (1). "I wouldn't be saying that, considering they are about to destroy you! Dark Paladin – The Ultimate Swords Master of the Spellcaster Rage, attack Bakura directly and end this duel!" Dark Paladin roared, and lunged out at Bakura. He brought his sword down on Bakura… only to have it be stopped by a small blue sheep.

"Scapegoat summoned four Sheep Tokens (0/0)," Bakura grinned. "Of course, you should know its effect since that dog Joey used it."

"It will only protect you from one turn!" Yami pointed out. "Dark Magician Girl and Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight, destroy two Sheep Tokens!" The two monsters did just that, leaving only the yellow sheep.

"Aw, so close. There's one left."

"Not for long!" Yami shouted. "I activate my set trap, Call of the Haunted! This will bring back the monster I discarded for Graceful Charity, Dark Magician of Chaos (2800/2600)! And now that I've summoned him, I can return the spell card I discarded for Graceful Charity (2)! Finally I activate my set trap, Spell Booster! By discarding a card (1), I can activate the spell I returned immediately, so go: Dark Tempest (0)! This removes all monsters in our deck and graveyard from play! Now you won't be able to get a draw that can save you!"

Dark Paladin, Dark Magician Girl, and Dark Magician of Chaos all crossed their weapons. There was a massive burst of energy, and almost all of both spirits' decks and graveyards disappeared. "Anyway, Dark Magician of Chaos will attack the last Sheep Token with Chaos Burst."

"I'm sorry, but you can't do that," Bakura chuckled, closing his eyes.

"And why not?" Yami demanded.

"Because," Bakura laughed, and then forcefully opened his eyes. "You've just lost the duel!!"

"What?!" Yami gasped.

"There are three copies of a monster named Oujia Spirit (1000/1000) in my deck," Bakura explained. "And since you just removed them from play, their effects activate, finishing the effect of Destiny Board!"

"N-No!" Yami screamed as three more spirits appeared, forming "DEATH". 'No… I promised myself I wouldn't let that happen,' He sadly thought as he fell to his knees. The five spirits surrounded him and covered Yami in dark energy.

Bakura: 50; Yami: 0

"You put up a good fight this year, but it looks like this time you just couldn't cut it," Bakura laughed. "I win! I shall finally plunge the world into shadows!" Bakura bent down and picked up the Millennium Rod as the Shadow Game disappeared.

"Now it's time for your punishment," Bakura chuckled, tightly gripping the Millennium Rod. He began to walk to Yami, but about halfway there the bottom of the Millennium Rod came off! That revealed a knife underneath. Bakura froze for a moment, but then grinned again. "The Millennium Rod keeps on getting more and more interesting. Looks like I'll have fun with your body, not just your soul," Bakura maliciously said as he advanced upon Yami, who was still motionlessly slumped on the floor….


Meep! Violence! AND ZOMG CLIFFIE! Well, like you didn't see a cliffie coming...

It's good to be back:D
