Kaiba's Comeback
"Very well Yugi, I activate Graceful charity! I draw three cards! Then discard two! "Yelled Kaiba.
He draws his three cards and quickly discards two. He looks at his hand then at Yugi.
"Then I'll activate Pot of Greed. I don't need to tell you what this card does. Hehehe Yugi it's time to show you my strength! I summon X- Head Cannon (atk 1800/def. 1500) in defense mode!"
X-Head Cannon appears on his field and Yugi is starting to catch on to his plan. Damn that monster combines with his Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank, if he manages to summon them I could be in trouble, thinks Yugi, I still have the upper hand though he can't assemble them just yet he's only summoned one of them.
"Alright Yugi watch this my turn has only begun!" Says Kaiba, "Now I'll activate my spell card Dark Core! This card allows me to remove one monster on the field from play!"
"No, Dark Magician Girl!" Gasped Yugi, fearing losing his Dark Magician Girl.
Kaiba laughs.
"No, Yugi I pick my monster X-Head Cannon!"
"What? But why you're own monster?" Asked Yugi.
Even the crowd looks confused of Kaiba's move.
"Shut up and let me tell you!" Answered Kaiba.
His X-Head Cannon disappears from the field, leaving only his Blue Eyes White Dragon, while Yugi still has Dark Magician Girl and Marshmallon on his side of the field.
"Next I'll activate my spell card Soul Release! This card will also allow me to remove up to five monsters from my graveyard!"
You're removing more monsters from play, thinks Yugi, what are you up too? Then Yugi realizes-
"Next I'll activate my trap card, Return from a Different Dimension!" Exclaims Kaiba, revealing his faced down card.
A huge warp hole appears above them, under Kaiba's spell card Final Countdown. X-Head Cannon reappears on the field along with Blue Eyes White Dragon, Vorse Raider, and two other monsters Yugi didn't see on the field earlier. The monsters he was hoping Kaiba wouldn't assemble; Z-Metal Tank, X-Head Cannon and Y-Dragon Head.
"Yugi this card allows me to return all monsters remove from play back to the field this turn!" Explained Kaiba.
"That is true Kaiba, but at no point in the duel did I send your Z-Metal Tank nor you're Y-Dragon Head to the graveyard!" Said Yugi trying to figure out how Kaiba's monster got there.
"Hehe, no Yugi you didn't, but I did!" Laughed Kaiba. "When I activated Graceful Charity, they were the two cards I discarded!"
Yugi's eyes widened and the crowd goes wild. He happens to look to his side and sees Tea is a bit worried. He smiles at her, hoping to catch her attention, and when does, he smiles at her. It felt like it was yesterday she would worry about Atem dueling, and now she's here worried about him. "Are you done daydreaming about your girlfriend already?" Mocked Kaiba. "Kaiba I must say that was a great move, a great combo. Honestly didn't see it coming."
"Hahira I don't know you to tell me it was I already know it was!" Laughed Kaiba pointing at Yugi. "It's still my turn next I'll combine my monsters and together they become XYZ- Dragon Cannon!"
His monsters began to dissemble and assemble together to become one new monster; XYZ-Dragon Cannon (atk 2800/def. 2600).
"Kaiba, you might've assembled you're monsters together but it's still not enough to go against my Dark Magician Girl!" Says Yugi.
"You're completely right Yugi, but that's why I'll activate my next spell card Mega morph! This card will double my monsters attack points when my life points are lower than yours!"
XYZ-Dragon Cannon's attack points doubles to 5600. Yugi looks in disbelief; Kaiba's monsters attack exceeds his.
"First things first, I'll now activate my monsters effect, by discarding one card; I can destroy one card on your side of the field! I choose Marshmallon!" Said Kaiba, discarding a card from his hand to his graveyard.
At that very moment his monster launched missiles towards Yugi's Marshmallon destroying it.
"Now my monster attack Dark Magician Girl!" Ordered, yet again, Kaiba.
His XYZ-Dragon Cannon attacks Yugi's Dark Magician Girl destroying it. Yugi's life points drop from 7000 to 4700, but due to the effects of Magic Formula his life points when up to 5700. XYZ-Dragon Cannon attack points return back to normal (atk 2800/def. 2600). Yugi looks over to Kaiba's side of the field and he realizes Kaiba still has Blue Eyes and Vorse Raider on the field, due to the effects of his trap card.
"Go Vorse Raider attack Yugi's life pints directly!" Yells Kaiba.
Vorse Raider sprints for the attack slashing Yugi. Yugi's life points drop from 5700 to 3800.
"Ready Yugi, I still have Blue Eyes White Dragon to make an attack. This attack will win devastate your life points." Said Kaiba taunting Yugi.
"Do your worst then Kaiba." Said Yugi.
"Very well, go my mighty beast attack Yugi's life points!"
The very moment Kaiba addressed his Blue Eyes it took flight high up above the mountains on the field.
"Attack with White Lightning Blast!"
Finished Kaiba.
Blue Eyes launches its attack from the sky towards Yugi.
"Yugi!"
Yelled Tea, as her and the crowd watched Blue Eyes attack approached Yugi. Then suddenly, as many as a thousand Kuriboh's appear on Yugi's side of the field taking in Blue Eyes attack protecting Yugi's life points.
"What?" Kaiba was mad. "I should've known. You discarded Kuriboh to protect your life points."
"Correct Kaiba!" Answered Yugi.
Kaiba closes his eyes and looks down then says-
"Very well Yugi I end my turn."
Vorse Raider and Blue Eyes White Dragon disappear from the field due to Kaiba's trap card, leaving only his second Blue Eyes and XYZ-Dragon Cannon on the field and Yugi with no monsters and only 3800 life points while Kaiba has 6900 life points.
"Draw!" He look at his hand and smiles, "Very well Kaiba I activate my spell card, Card of Sanctity! This allows both us to draw tile we have six cards in our hands!"
Yugi draws six new cards, Kaiba also draws six cards.
"Very well Kaiba I'll activate my spell card Monster Reborn! And I'll bring back Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Said Yugi.
Blue Eyes White Dragon returns back to the field under Yugi's control now.
"And thanks to the effects of your spell card; Mountains he'll gain an addition two hundred attack points giving him a total of 3200! Then I'll summon Silent Magician in defense mode!"
Silent Magician appears on Yugi's side of the field as well.
"Go Blue Eyes attack XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"
Blue Eyes launches the attack destroying Kaiba's monster dropping his life points to 6500.
"I'll place two cards faced down and activate my spell card Swords of Revealing Light! End my turn!"
Kaiba burst out laughing.
"Ha-ha Yugi that's all you got? My turn draw! I'll begin my also activating my spell card Monster Reborn come back to me XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"
And just like that Kaiba's XYZ-Dragon Cannon returned to the field as well.
"Next I'll summon Lord of the D (atk 1200/def. 1100) in defense mode! Next I'll activate my spell card Flute of Summoning Dragon, to special summon Blue Eyes White Dragon!"
Lord of D. plays his flute and Kaiba's third and last Blue Eyes finally appears.
"I activate my trap card Kaiba! Dark Renewal, this card will take my Silent Magician and you're Blue Eyes White Dragon as sacrifices and bring back from my graveyard the Dark Magician (atk 2500/ def. 2100) in attack mode!" Said Yugi.
His Silent Magician and Kaiba's Blue Eyes disappeared from the field and the Dark Magician now appears ready for battle. Kaiba is in great disbelief.
"Fine I'll activate my monster effect by discarding one card I can destroy one of yours and I choose Blue Eyes White Dragon!" He yelled angrily.
His XYZ-Dragon Cannon fires missiles towards Blue Eyes destroying it.
"Due to the effects of your Swords of Revealing Light I can't attack so I place one card face down and end my turn!" Said Kaiba ending his turn.
It's Yugi's turn now and he hopes he can change the duel around with his next draw. Heart of the cards, guide me just how you always have, thinks Yugi.
"Draw! I activate my spell card A Thousand Knives this card only be activated when I have Dark Magician on my side of the field with this card I can destroy one of your monsters and I choose your Blue Eyes!" Said Yugi
A thousand knives appear in front of the Dark Magician and he throws them all at Blue Eyes White Dragon destroying it in the process, leaving only Kaiba's Lord of the D. and XYZ-Dragon Cannon on his field.
"Go my mighty Dark Magician destroy Lord of the D!" Orders Yugi. "Dark Magic Attack!"
Dark Magician goes for the attack destroying Lord of the D.
"That will end my turn Kaiba!"
It's Kaiba's turn now and he's ready to finish Yugi.
"Draw! I'll activate my monsters effect by discarding this card; I'll destroy your Swords of Revealing Light!"
Kaiba's XYZ-Dragon Cannon, yet again, launched missiles this time at Yugi's Swords of Revealing Light destroying it.
"Now go my monster attack Yugi's Dark Magician!"
I activate my trap card! Magic Cylinder! This card will negate your attack and redirect it back to your life points!" Interrupted Yugi as his face down trap card is revealed.
Two cylinders appeared in front of the Dark Magician one absorbing Kaiba's monster attack and the other redirecting it back toward him.
"I activate my spell card, Ring of Defense!" Interfered Kaiba placing his spell card on his duel disc.
A spinning ring appeared in front of him absorbing the redirected attack.
"I can activate this card when a trap card is activated that inflict damage to my life points and it will make the damage zero!" He explained very proudly.
"Damn." Says Yugi.
The crowd has gone quiet due to the display of great strength, combos and comebacks made by both Kaiba and Yugi.
"Man, Kaiba may be winning but Yugi isn't going out without a fight." Yugi hears the crowd talk among themselves.
He smiles, not because he's about to win, no simply because this is the duel he needed. This is the duel that will tell him whether he's ready or not to get back out there, and he's enjoying every second of it.
"I end my turn Yugi!" Says Kaiba.
Yugi places his hands up to commence his draw.
"Draw! I'll place one card face down and summon Silent Swordsman (atk 1000 def. /1000) in defense mode.
And end my turn!" He says.
Kaiba's turn.
"Draw! Due to the effect of my spell card, card of demise I'll have to send my hand to the graveyard!" He discards his only card to the graveyard. "Go my XYZ-Dragon Cannon attack his Dark Magician!"
XYZ-Dragon Cannon goes for the attack send missiles towards Yugi's last strongest monster Dark Magician.
"Yugi!" Yelled Tea.
Yugi looks at her and Grandpa and nods his head accepting what's about to happen.
"You're Dark Magician is no more Yugi!"'
