"Oh don't be so sure brother," Seto said with a grin, he then revealed his last card. "And lastly I play, Megamorph, doubling my dragon's attack power!"
Joseph was shocked, eyes widen as he yelled, "WHAT?!"
The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon grew twice its side, its attack power growing to 9000. And Kaiba's life points gain another 500, now he has 3475.
Kaiba grins and calls out, "Now my ultimate, destroy his Five-Headed Dragon!" The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon unleashed a powerful white light blast from their mouths and it headed straight at one of the two Five-Headed Dragons.
"NO!" yelled Joseph as he saw one of his powerful Dragons get destroyed by the blast, shattered to bits as well as the blast wave knocking Joseph down onto his back. His life points went down by half, becoming 4000.
He groans as he slowly rises up, and Kaiba said, "One last move brother and I will win. After this duel, you will no longer be a Hikari."
'What am I going to do now?' Joseph thinks to himself as he stared up at the big white dragon with wide eyes. If Seto's dragon attacks his last Five-Headed Dragon, he's going to lose the duel.
Episode Seven
Spirit of a Friend
The duel had progress greatly, to the point Seto destroyed one of Joseph's two powerful dragons. And even though Joseph has the most life points, Kaiba has the most powerful monster on the field. With one more attack from Seto's Ultimate Dragon, Joseph is done for.
"That's showing him, way-to-go big brother!" Mokuba cheered for his big brother.
Kyle sighed and turned slightly, "Looks like we'll be trading, eh?" Since it looks like if Joseph loses, he and Kyle will have to trade places.
"Don't bet on it, he still has one more move," Joey replied.
"Come on Joseph, believe in the heart of the cards, and your deck won't fail you," Yugi said, watching the duel.
"If Kaiba wins this, wouldn't that mean that we would hardly be able to talk to Joseph unless during school?" asked Ryou, Marik slight nodded.
"That means I won't get the chance to duel Joseph again," Joey said, than he grab hold of the rails and lean forward, "COME ON JOSEPH! YOU CAN DO THIS!"
"Even though we only met him for a short while, he's a good friend, he can do this," Tea said.
Kyle focuses his gaze on Joseph, and quietly said to himself, "You better win this Joseph, or you will regret."
Joseph: 4000 – Seto: 3475
Joseph slowly gets onto one knee as he was getting up, but remains sitting on one knee. He was still shock of what just happened. Kaiba had managed to bring back his powerful monster, double its power, and destroyed one of Joseph's powerful dragons and Joseph had lost 4000 life points.
'I don't even have a card in my deck that could stop that!' Joseph thought to himself in shock. "This cannot be happening…"
"Oh it's happening brother," Seto said with a grin. "And once I win, you will no longer be a Hikari, but a Kaiba. So why delay the inevitable, give up now, and things will go easier on you."
'Maybe he's right,' Joseph thought to himself as he turned to look at his duelling disk. With no cards, and he can only draw one card.
'But I'm neither Hikari nor a Kaiba; I don't belong to this world. If I give up now…' Joseph continued to think to himself. He then closed his eyes and take a deep breath, 'No, this is not the end, I will not surrender.'
He slowly rises back up, and as his eyes open, he looks at Seto. "This duel is not over Kaiba, it is now my turn," Joseph said.
"Fine, if you want to take the hard way, then we'll do the hard way," Seto replied back.
Joseph looks to his deck, and slowly moves his free hand to it, about to draw a card. He mentally said, 'Please, heart of the cards, guide me.' Then just as he placed his index and middle finger on the top card, it glow bright light.
"What?" asked Joseph, was surprised of it. Then in his mind, he heard a dragon roar, a very familiar dragon roar. His eyes widen as he looks up and around, he asks, "De Ragun?"
"Quit stalling, make your move!" Kaiba said, getting bored with the wait.
With no sight of where the roar came from, and by the looks of it, only he has heard it. And it felt like it came from his deck, so he then pulled the top card. And he holds it in front of him, and as the light faded, his eyes widen as he saw the card.
He slowly smiled, clearly happy to see the card. Then he looks to Kaiba with a grin, and he said loudly, "I special summon De Ragun!"
He placed the fiery dragon monster down on his duelling disk beside Five-Headed Dragon. And on the field, a big twenty feet tall dark brown armored scaled dragon with twin tails appeared onto the field. It roars loudly, as its attack power is 3000.
Seto looked shocked of the form, and saw the attack and level of it. "How is that possible?! Your dragon is 8 stars!"
"She can be special summon straight from my hand as long as I have three or more dragons removed from play," Joseph replied, only smiling a bit. "And she came to protect me from you," he continued, and De Ragun roars loudly, unleashing a loud strong sound wave that went straight at Kaiba and his monster. And by the loud of the roar, Seto had to cover his ears, for it was so loud. Despite how loud the roar was, the De Ragun looks like she is alive when she had done.
As soon as the ringing in his ears had stopped, Yugi and everyone else uncovered their ears and were shocked to see what happened.
"Whoa, who knew Joseph had a backup plan?!" Ryou said out loud and in surprise.
"What is that card?!" Marik asked out loud.
Tea turned to Yugi, and she asks, "Yugi, have you heard of that card?"
Yugi shook his head, "Never heard of it before."
"I have," Kyle said, now gaining everyone's attention. He was grinning, "It's one of the newest ultra-rare cards my brother has made. And I must say, seeing it being used now, it's so exciting!"
Joey yelled out loud, "Yeah! Joseph, you're going to win this!"
"No, Seto!" Mokuba called out.
Joseph: 4000 – Seto: 3475
Seto then notice something about Joseph's new dragon, "Wait a second, your dragon has 0 attack points." It was true, after that roar; the De Ragun's attack power went down from 3000 to 0.
"That's what happens to her if she was special summoned this way," Joseph said, than his life points start to decrease and De Ragun's power increases. "But that will change, for with it, I can sacrifice my life points and give my dragon some power."
Joseph's life points went down by 3000, causing De Ragun's power to be 3000, Joseph's life points is now 1000.
But another thing happened, Seto's Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack strength went down to 4500. And thanks to Joseph sudden decrease, his life points now lower than Seto's life points. Seto's Megamorph effect activate, cutting the Ultimate Dragon's attack in half, making it 2250.
"Now for battle, Five-Headed Dragon, bring your vengeance upon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, show it that no one messes with your kind with Ultimate Oblivion!" Joseph called out to his big dragon.
Five-Headed Dragon launches its powerful attack upon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. And once the blast collided, Blue-Eyes were destroyed.
"NO! My dragon!" yelled Seto as he saw his dragon gets destroyed. His life points went down by 2750, now 725. Now he's defenseless, and Joseph still has one monster left on the field to attack with, the one with enough power to defeat him.
After realizing he's going to lose, he said, "Please Joseph, don't do this!"
"De Ragun, unleash your power, Torrent of Flames!" Joseph called out loud, and De Ragun unleashes a powerful burst of fire, heading straight at Kaiba.
"NO, brother no!" yelled Kaiba and he was consumed in the blast. When the fire faded, his life points went straight down to 0, as he lay on his back.
With that, De Ragun gave a victory roar, that pretty much shattered every single window within the building somehow. And with the end of the duel, the Five-Headed Dragon begun to fade out of the existence, but De Ragun did not, which surprised the audience.
The De Ragun turned to Joseph, and came towards him. Joseph was covering his ears after the sound waves pretty much bounced off all the shattered mirrors and headed to him. Joseph soon opened his eyes and the ringing ended. And he sees De Ragun looking to him with a smile, and he smiled back. The De Ragun then rubs her snout against him.
Joseph smiled and chuckled a bit while placing his hand on her snout and rubs it a bit. "Thank you De Ragun, for helping me," Joseph said. The De Ragun purred before she started to fade away, and eventually she was gone. Joseph closed his eyes; a tear comes out of his right eye. "It was nice seeing you again, De Ragun."
Once the second roar ended, the group were surprised to see that the De Ragun remained where it was still. And even more, when it was rubbing its snout against Joseph.
"Okay, now that's awesome, weird but awesome!" Joey said loudly.
"Forget that, he won the duel!" Tristan cheered, and both he and Joey did like a victory dance.
Kyle's eyes were widening as he tighten his hold on the railing. "How is that possible?" he asked, sounded surprised of what he's seeing.
"Big brother!" yelled Mokuba, and he ran off, trying to get to where he could go down to his brother.
"Come on guys, let's go congratulate Joseph on his big win," Yugi said to his friends, and they nodded and followed Mokuba.
Kyle remains where he was, still staring at where the De Ragun once was. "How was it possible he befriended a De Ragun?!" he asked himself, still looked shocked about that.
Once De Ragun was gone, Joseph returns all of his cards into his deck, De Ragun on the top, and his duelling disk went from duelling mode to standby mode. Then Joseph walks over to Kaiba, who was slowly getting up.
Once Joseph stood near Kaiba, he holds out his hand to him, "Good game."
Seto looks to him; he still looked annoyed but gave a faint smile and shook his hand. "I was close Joseph, if you hadn't drawn that card, I would've won," he said.
"True, and now, will you stop calling me your brother?" Joseph asked, now waiting for his answer.
Kaiba sighed, "A deal is a deal, but know that what I said was true. And know that I will duel you again."
"Thought so," Joseph said, knowing he was going to say the second part. After all the only one who could defeat Kaiba is Yugi, and now Joseph defeated him, Joseph pretty much came to second place in strongest duellists. "But even so, I'm a Hikari, and you're a Kaiba. Why does it matter so much? I am or I am not... nothing will change at all. You still have Mokuba; you still have a company to run, what difference would it make?"
Seto sighed, knowing what Joseph says is true. What difference would it make? To anyone, there would hardly be any difference, but to Seto. He looks to Joseph, "I still have the memories before what had happened to you."
"And what if you got the wrong guy too?" asked Joseph, now looking annoyed. "Even though you claim there is no other Hikari, what if you're wrong? It is still possible."
"If you have solid evidence I will stop, but till then," Seto said, making sure Joseph knows that he'll never give up.
"Fine," Joseph said. "But instead of brother, how about friend?"
After a few minutes of consideration, he replied, "Fine, till I defeat you in a duel, we'll just be friends."
Joseph smiled, "Now that's a relief."
Then the sounds of the group coming; which catches Joseph and Seto's attention, and they turned to see Mokuba, Yugi and the rest coming over.
"Big brother!" said Mokuba as he came over to Seto.
"Hey man, hi-5," Joey said as he came over to Joseph and hold up his right hand, Joseph hi-5 him.
Tristan chuckles, "Great duel, you beat Kaiba." Tea nodded.
"That was one awesome duel, Joseph," Ryou said, and Marik nodded.
Yugi came over, and he said, "Well done Joseph, that was a great duel."
Joseph smiled to them, "Thanks."
"Say Joseph, can I see your De Ragun?" asked Joey, and Joseph brings out his dragon card and holds it to Joey. He took hold of it and looked at the card, he grins, "Wow, this is one sweet monster." He passes it to Yugi, and he looks at it.
"This card is very risky to use for special summons," Yugi said, was surprised. With the attack power of 3000, this dragon would be one dangerous opponent. He handed it back to Joseph, and he took hold of it.
"Hey, let's go celebrate the victory?" asked Tristan.
Joseph looks to them, and he asks, "Pizza?"
Tristan, Joey, Marik, and Ryou said at the same time, "Pizza." It's obvious a lot of people love pizza. Tea groans a bit, while Joseph and Yugi chuckles a bit.
Joseph turns to Seto and Mokuba, and he asks, "Would you like to join us?"
"Thanks but no thanks, I have a company to run," Seto said, he and Mokuba started to walk away. But just as he was several feet away, he said, "See you next time, friend."
That clearly surprised Joey and the others, Joey asks loudly, "Wait a second, did he just call Joseph, friend?!"
"No way," said Tristan, surprised about that as well.
"Well now, Seto finally made a friend besides Mokuba," Tea smiled.
Joseph chuckles a bit, than he looks at his De Ragun card. As he sees the picture, he smiled a bit. He slowly looks upwards, towards the clear shattered windowed sky.
'Thank you again, De Ragun,' Joseph said in thought, he was still smiling a bit.
"Hey Joseph, aren't you coming?" asked Yugi, catches Joseph's attention. He turns and saw the group now further away, heading to the elevator but Yugi remained nearby, waiting for Joseph.
He put the card into his deck, and he runs over to Yugi, "Oh I'm coming!"
And as he joins up with Yugi, at the balcony, Kyle still where he was, now just watching Joseph join with Yugi and headed to the elevators.
In a dimension of Phantasy Star Universe; on planet Parum, far away from the largest city, in a vast forest, and further away and close to the relic ruins, a large cave is shown. And within the cave, the De Ragun was asleep, with her body wrapped around in a circle, till her eyes opened and slowly raised her head up.
She looks to the outside of her cave and to the sky, and smiled, remembering her human mate. She just had a dream of seeing her human and helped him out against another human. She purrs a bit as she thinks about him.
Great, Joseph and Seto became friends, and De Ragun is once again with Joseph, but in spirit. But how is that possible? How a card of her was formed? And how long will Joseph and Seto remain friends? Will Joseph challenge Yugi? Find out next time in YuGiOh Duels of the Actillian.
