"Mokuba," said Khonsu to his Vessel. "Staring at the ceiling of your soul room isn't helping you."
Mokuba was currently in his soul room, head resting against the pillow of his bed. Surrounding him were stuffed animals in the shape of some of his Celestial Spirit monsters—to his left was one shaped like Leo Minor, his right had one dressed like Triangulum—as he didn't reply to the Moon God. He was worried...worried about May. He could've saved her, but he chickened out.
"Mokuba," said Khonsu, sitting at the side of the bed. "I know you're upset, but saying nothing is going to do nothing."
"Then what am I supposed to do?" Mokuba replied, sitting up. "Nothing, that's what! May's in danger, Khonsu! And if we don't do something...then she'll get hurt!"
"Your sister will be fine, Mokuba." said the Moon God. "Right now, I'm worried about you. If the soldiers return and you're in a panicked state, then your soul will be sent to the Great Leviathan. We can't afford to lose a Chosen at this point in time."
"Yeah, but..." said Mokuba, becoming silent. "I'm...scared. I've only been in one duel and I don't have as much experience as the others. I mean, Seto's been in so many battles and can handle his own...but I'm not ready."
"Then it looks like you should take Max's offer then." said Khonsu. "What do you say? You'll get experience, you'll get to duel Max's new magicians, and you'll be able to use your Celestial Spirits better. What do you say?"
Mokuba looked at his Duel Disk, the voices of the Celestial Spirits calling to him, telling him to fight. He then nodded his head.
"All right." he said. "Let's duel!"

"Hey Mokuba?" asked Téa, seeing the younger Kaiba brother in a trance. "Are you all right?"
Mokuba blinked and shook his head, trying to recall that he was riding on Draco in the sky.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He replied. "And you know what, I've got something to say."
He pointed to Max.
"Max, I challenge you to a duel!" He announced.
"WHAT?" Max screeched. It was enough for Draco to stop flying and turned to see what's going on.
"You heard me!" said Mokuba. "I'm going to fight and make sure I'm ready to fight against the Orichalcos! Are you with me?"
"Oh yeah!" said Max, activating his Duel Disk. "Draco, take us down!"
"Are you sure that this is a good idea, you two?" asked Yami. "We need to meet up with Joey and Tristan as soon as we can."
"We'll be fine!" said Mokuba as the dragon slowly started to descend onto the ground. "Besides, I'm going to need all the experience I can get if I want to save May and defeat those Swordsmen."
"And I want to try out the monsters in my deck." said Max. "My Magicians are going to defeat Mokuba's Celestial Spirits in no time flat!"
"I like to see you try!" said Mokuba.
The dragon landed as the two boys got off. Mokuba activated his Duel Disk as he raised Draco's card into the air. The Dragon disappeared as Yami and Téa began to observe the duel.
"Let's duel!" The two boys shouted.

May was having a nightmare. Tossing and turning, she was seeing her duel Valon and attacking him with monsters called Shadow Banshee and Penumbral Gunner. She defeated the spiky haired Swordsman, and then had something called Eclipse Knight keep an eye on him as she was doing something. Whatever she was doing, it was hurting Valon, his face contorted and showing all of the pain he was going through. Then her hands were gripping onto a dagger, and then it was plunged into his chest...
"NO!" She screamed sitting up, the cooling strip fell onto her lap as she panted for breath. The nightmare felt so real...it was if she really did do that stuff, that she left Valon lying in the desert with those wounds and bruises. But that didn't make sense...she was on a plane flying to Florida, not in the desert. It was still so unnerving.
"Is everything all right?" May looked up to see Kaiba walking in, and she nodded her head in reply. "It sounds like you had a nightmare."
"I did..." May replied. "You see...I was dreaming that I was inflicting pain on Valon, one of the Swordsman. I dueled Mai under the Seal of Orichalcos and defeated her, and then her soul got taken away. Valon wants revenge for what I did, so he punched me, choked me, kicked me...anything so that I could feel pain. And it hurt..."
"What about your arms?" asked Kaiba. "How did they end up that way?"
"After I escaped the Swordsman, I ended up on the rooftop of their office building...I think it was called Paradius..." May answered back. "I told them to wake up and realize what Dartz was doing to them and I told them that no matter what they did, the Orichalcos would never give them what they want. They didn't listen, and I had my arms grabbed by Raphael and Alister, and Valon began to punch me while my arms were sliced.
"They threatened to attack my brother...and they probably were going to do the same with Mokuba. I had to stop them, so I summoned the Winged Dragon of Ra to save me. But Ra was weak against the Orichalcos, and with a single punch...there was an explosion, and I fell onto the ground, screaming toward my death. If it wasn't for my Altaria, then I would've been in trouble."
"Altaria?" asked Kaiba. May nodded her head as she brought out Altaria's Poké ball. The sphere opened to reveal the Humming Pokémon to the CEO. It look at him curiously with its black beady eyes.
"Say hello, Altaria." said May. Altaria let out a small chirp. It then flew onto Kaiba's shoulder, rubbing against his cheek. May could only laugh at the site.
"I guess Altaria likes you." said the Coordinator. Kaiba just rolled his eyes in reply befor realizing that May stated that she had the Winged Dragon of Ra.
"Wait, you have an Egyptian God Card on you?" he asked. May nodded her head, pulling the card from her waist-pack. There was no doubt about it; it was the same Egyptian God that Marik used in the Battle City Tourament.
"It's a long story, and it's partially the reason why I have these wounds." said May. "You see, around the time of the unexplained monster sightings, the three motorcyclists stole the Egyptian God Cards from Yugi. However, Max and I found a fake Winged Dragon of Ra on the street and switched it with the original God Card. Alongside stealing souls, they want me the most because I have it. This card has caused me nothing but suffering...and I'll continue to suffer some more until they get it."
"So does this mean you can read the text on the card?" asked Kaiba.
"Yeah." May answered simply. "You see...I can read Ancient Egyptian because I was taught it at an early age by spirits. You may think it's silly, but I freed them from a book because of it. They taught me other things about Egypt, and then an incident happened. They wanted me to do this ritual that involved me giving up some of my blood. But my mom found out and she took the book away from me and kept it in the attic. Seeing this, the spirits erased my memory, because they believed it was their fault that I was going to shed blood for them.
"Then they came back when I found the book a couple of days ago. They warned me of a big threat that was going to destroy the world and coupled with a dream that I had on my way home, I was determined to go to Domino City. So Max and I packed up...and here we are."
"...Normally I would say that there was no such thing as magic." said Kaiba. "But...how you got on the plane defies many of the laws of physics...I suggest that someone had some sort of...'power' that caused you to come here."
"I wished for it, actually." said May. "And then I appeared...and if it wasn't for that, I would've been dead. I was surorunded by darkness, but I didn't let it consume me. Because even though I may be surrounded by it, there is always light and hope to take make the darkness disappear."
"I see." said Kaiba, standing up. "Wait here." He then stared at Altaria. "And get off of my shoulder."
"Al." said Altaria jumping off. It then flew and nestled onto May's lap, resting its head and began to fall asleep. May just stared at the Winged Dragon of Ra...because of her rushing head first to get Ra away from those evil people, she was in pain. If she just let them take Ra and just stood there...would she still be with her brother? Would her arms still be healed?
No, she couldn't think about it now. What was done was done...she had to keep moving forward, or else let the world suffer for her actions.
Kaiba returned, silver briefcase in tow. He pulled up a chair and sat down, opening the briefcase in front of the Coordinator. May's eyes widened in shock when she saw all of the cards inside; they looked pretty powerful and even though there wasn't a lot of variety like the cards she found in Paradius, they were still good.
"Take some cards from the case." said Kaiba. "If you're going to go back onto the field to fight those bikers, then you're going to need all the help you can get."
"Really? I...no." said May, shaking her head. "I can't accept your generosity. After all; getting a Duel Monster Card from the side of the road is pretty much the cause of this. And besides, I have some powerful cards."
May pulled the deck from her Duel Disk and searched through her cards. She then took a card into her hand and showed it to Kaiba.
"See?" said the Coordinator. "I have Dark Horus to keep my company."
"How in the world did you get a Dark Horus?" asked Kaiba, seeing the dragon. "They're pretty rare..."
"They are?" asked May. "They came with one of my booster packs, along with some other spare cards."
May then pulled out a couple of cards from her waistpack and showed them the CEO. Kaiba stared at the cards; all of them were Dark Monsters, most likely to work around her powerful Dark Horus card.
"They're interesting." said Kaiba. "What type of deck do you play?"
"I have Gravekeeper's but I have another deck called 'Ancient Pharaoh' which focuses on Ancient Egyptian based cards. They're pretty good...but they can be better thanks to the cards I stole from the Swordsmen."
"I see." said Kaiba. "Hold on...let me get you something."
He took one of the cards from the briefcase and handed it to the girl. It was a pink orb of energy with a calm face on it which had 0 Attack and Defense Points.
"Consecrated Light?" asked May, reading the card. "Apparently this card negates the Normal and Special Summon of a Dark Monster, prevents Dark Monsters on the field from attacking, and if this was attacked by a Dark monster, I get no damage. Wow...thank you."
"You're welcome." Kaiba replied. "Anything to get my right to be King of Games again."
May looked at him weirdly when he replied...from what she heard from Joey, Kaiba was a bit of a jerk. She shook the thought out ofher mind as she placed the card back into her Duel Disk. She returned all of the cards into their rightful places and placed the Winged Dragon of Ra into her waistpack, where it would be safe.
"I just have one question." said Kaiba, after a few minutes. "How is Mokuba? Is he all right?"
The Coordinator stared at Kaiba for a while before smiling.
"He's doing fine." May answered in reply. "I dueled him this morning and he defeated me after a grueling match. In fact, I wouldn't be so surprised if he was dueling Max right now."

"I'll go first!" said Max, drawing a card. "And I'll start off by summoning Rapid Fire Magician in Attack Mode!"
A purple haired magician appeared, dressed in a purple helm and a deep violet colored armor with yellow rungs decorating it. In his hands were two silver staffs—one staff having an orange orb inset, the other had a green orb—with spheres of many colors surrounding him. (1,600/1,200)
"Next, I'll be placing one card facedown, and end it at that."
Mokuba nodded his head as he drew a card from his deck.
All right. Mokuba thought to himself. Max has summoned a pretty decent monster...but luckily for you, you have something batter.
"I'm summoning Celestial Spirit-Scorpio onto the field in Attack Mode!" Mokuba announced.
A girl dressed in a black dress skirt, red and yellow stockings and Mary Jane shoes appeared. She had her hair in long red pigtails and her green eyes glared at Rapid Fire Magician menacingly. To her right was an 8-Claws Scorpion and in her hands was a silver staff. On her forehead was the Zodiac symbol for Scorpio and she had a deep scowl on her face. (1,500/700)
"Next I play Octo Mirror! This Magic Card gives one "Celestial Spirit" 800 Attack Points until the end of my turn! And I'm giving up all that power to Scorpio!"
A Magic card appeared, depicting a handmirror in the shape of octagon. Scorpio let out a smirk as her Attack score was raised to 2300.
"Now Scorpio, attack with Antares Stinger!" said Mokuba, pointing to Rapid Fire Magician.
Celestial Spirit-Scorpio jumped into the air, as her scorpion partner prepared its stinger. But then, both were destroyed by a blast of fire!
"What?" Mokuba exclaimed. "What did you do?"
Max smirked as his face down card lifted. It revealed Mr. Volcano swallowing fire to an audience.
"That was my Fire Eater Trap Card!" Max explained. "You see, this card can only work if the monster you attack with has a different Attribute than mine. Since Scorpio is a Fire Attribute compared to Rapid Fire Magician being a Dark Attribute monster, then Scorpio was destroyed."
"But I have the last laugh though!" said Mokuba. "If Scorpio is destroyed by a Magic or Trap Card, I can decrease the Attack Points of one monster on your side of the field equal to the number of Attack Points Scorpio had when she was on the field! That means your Rapid Fire Magician loses all of his Attack Points!"
Rapid Fire Magician moaned as his Attack Score dropped all the way to 0.
"I'm ending this with a card face down, your move." said Mokuba, placing a card into his Duel Disk.
Max drew a card.
"I'll place Rapid Fire Magician in Defense Mode." He started off.
Rapid Fire Magician soon knelt in defense, staffs crossing his chest.
"Then, I play my Witch's Cauldron Magic Card!"
A Magic Card appeared, depicting three witches dancing around a giant cauldron filled with bubbling goo. It was then replaced with a giant cauldron.
"For the cost of two cards in my hand, I can Special Summon one Level 6 Monster or higher from my hand or deck onto the field!" Max explained. "But if I do that, I can't summon another monster. So by discarding both of my Emissary of the Oasis cards, I'll summon my Chaos Command Magician in Attack Mode!"
The two monster cards were tossed into the cauldron. Then it began to glow as a magician appeared, in a green colored version of Dark Magician's outfit that was lined with gold. He was wielding a green staff to match the color of his outfit. (2,400/1,900)
"Plus, for ever Normal Magic Card I play, you lose 400 lifepoints thanks to Rapid Fire Magician's special ability!"
Rapid Fire Magician pointed at Mokuba as four orbs of magic hit him dead on. The Defender of the King was still standing, however.
"All right!" said Max. "Chaos Command Magician, attack with Prism Blast!"
Chaos Command Magician raised his staff into the air and let out a multicolored beam of magic against his opponent.
"I activate my trap card, Attack Guidance Armor!" said Mokuba. "Now I can redirect the attack to another monster on the field! And I choose your Rapid Fire Magician!"
Grey armor with spikes and red eyes soon appeared on Rapid Fire Magician. The attack soon swerved and destroyed the Spellcaster into pieces.
Thank goodness I placed him in Defense Mode. Max thought to himself. I can't afford to lose lifepoints this early in the duel.
"I'm ending my turn at that." said Max. "Your move."
(Max: 4,000)
(Mokuba: 3,600)
Mokuba drew a card, his hand expanding to four.
"I'm playing Celestial Spirit-Triangulum Australe in Defense Mode!" said Mokuba.
In a flash of light a warrior similar to Triangulum appeared, but there were a few differences. This one was younger and depicted as a female with her hair in a ponytail, wielding a wooden sword and shield in her hands. (1,000/300)
"And that's not all!" Mokuba continued. "If I summon her, I can choose to summon Celestial Spirit-Triangulum onto the field! And I do!"
To Triangulum Australe's right was the blonde warrior with his giant shield. The warriors nodded to each other. (1000/3,000)
"Now I activate Double Summon! And I'm going to use it to bring out Sky Emperor Polaris!"
"You can't do that though!" said Max. "Sky Emperor Polaris is a Level 10 monster, you only have two monsters on the field!"
"That's right." said Mokuba. "Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be able to do so! But thanks to Triangulum Australe's effect it's possible! If I use her in the tribute summon of a 'Celestial Spirit' monster, she can be used as the entire tribute! So now, let the fun begin!"
Triangulum Australe waved goodbye as she vanished from the field. Taking her place was the ruler of the Celestial Spirits, staring at Chaos Command Magician with cold eyes beneath his white blindfold. (4,000/3,750)
"A monster with 4,000 attack points?" Téa exclaimed. "That can't be possible!"
"But it is!" said Mokuba. "And now Sky Emperor Polaris destroy Chaos Command Magician with your Aurora Borealis attack!"
Sky Emperor Polaris raised is staff and fired a beam of white light at Chaos Command Magician. The spellcaster didn't scream as he got destroyed.
"I'm ending my turn at that." said Mokuba. "Your move."
(Max: 2,600)
(Mokuba: 3,600)
"That's strange." said Yami.
"What is it?" asked Téa.
"Why did Mokuba not use Celestial Spirit-Triangulum to attack?" asked Yami. "In doing so, he would've chipped more of Max's lifepoints."
"Maybe he's afraid to attack." said Téa. "Because Max might destroy that warrior with another monster."
"Perhaps." said Yami. "But now, let's see what Max is going to do."
Max drew a card. He then revealed a card to Mokuba.
"I'm going to activate Golden Ladybug's effect!" said Max. "If I show this card during my Standby Phase, I gain 500 lifepoints.
"But I'm not done, I'm going to remove from play my Rapid Fire Magician, my Chaos Command Magician and my Emissary of the Oasis to summon one of my new monsters!"
The sky soon became filled with storm clouds. A harsh wind began to blow as lightning crashed. Smoke began to cover the field.
"Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd. Thrice and once the hedge-pig whined. Harpier cries 'Tis time, tis time!" Max chanted. "For now I summon Guardian of Witches, Hecate onto the field!"
A figure emerged from the smoke, it was of an eldery woman dressed in a white witch's cloak, clutching onto a wooden cane. Her eyes were covered with a white blindfold, but Mokuba could sense that she was evil. (2,700/2,000)
"Let me explain how this works." said Max. "Hecate can only be summoned onto the field if I remove three Spellcasters in my graveyard from play and she can't be destroyed if I have one other Spellcaster on the field. Aside from that, if I remove from play one Spellcaster, I get to draw three cards."
Hecate let out a laugh as Max removed his second Emissary of Oasis from play. Then he drew three more cards.
"I'm placing one card face down, and that's all." said Max. "Your move."
(Max: 3,100)
(Mokuba: 3,600)
"With pleasure!" said Mokuba, drawing a card. "I'm summoning Celestial Spirit-Apus in Attack Mode!"
In a burst of feathers a bird with red and magenta pluamge appeared, letting out a small chirp. (200/400)
"Now, Sky Emperor Polaris! Attack that old hag now!"
Hecate scowled at Mokuba's remark as Sky Emperor Polaris fired a beam of magic at his target once more.
"I activate Zero Gravity!" said Max. "Now all the positions of our monsters shift! Attack goes to Defense and Defense go to Attack!"
Mokuba snarled as he saw all three of his monsters shift into Defense Mode. Likewise, Hecate was now in Defense Mode.
"I'm ending my turn at that." said Mokuba.
Strange... Max thought to himself. Mokuba hasn't played any face down cards for the past two turns. Is something wrong? Well, time to let him know that he isn't going to win if he thinks like this!
"My move!" said Max, drawing a card. "And I'm summoning my Royal Magical Library in Defense Mode!"
Just as the name stated, there was giant shelf of books—a library full of them to be exact—with many hooded figures floating around trying to find what they needd. (0/2,000)
"Royal Magical Library gains one Spell Counter each time a Magic Card is played." Max continued. "And I'll start things off with my Blue Fairy Book Magic Card!"
A Magic Card appeared, depicting a blue hardcover book with a witch flying amongst the evening sky. Then, the card was replaced with a similar book. At the same time, the Roman Numeral for one soon appeared above Royal Magical Library.
"What's that card do?" asked Mokuba.
"You'll find out on my next turn." said Max. "But now I'll place Hecate in Attack Mode and attack your Apus with Witch's Brew!"
Hecate let out a laugh as she let out a powerful blast of magic at Apus. The bird gave out a screech as she disintegrated.
"I'm activated Apus's effect!" said Mokuba. "When Apus is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I can Special Summon Celestial Spirit-Pavo onto the field!"
In a flurry of peacock feathers, a new monster appeared. She had long blonde hair and a blue dress with a trail of peacock feathers following her. She even had to feathers on top of her head and green eyes. (1,600/0)
"Pavo can only stay in Attack Mode!" Mokuba explained. "And if she's destroyed in battle, my opponent takes damage equal to her Attack Points!"
"But that's only if she's in battle." said Max. "And I'm ending my turn with a card face down."
"Something's going on with their dueling strategies." said Yami. "Max focuses on Magic cards and trying to use his Spellcasters to their potential, but Mokuba cares about summoning more monsters with their effects. While both are effective, their strategies are not balanced."
"So that means that it'll be hard for either of them to win, right?" asked Téa.
"I'm not so sure about that." said Yami. "We'll just have to wait and see."
"My move!" said Mokuba, drawing a card. "And now I'll shift both Triangulum and Sky Emperor Polaris into Attack Mode!"
Sky Emperor Polaris stood up, staff in hand. Celestial Spirit-Triangulum did the same thing.
"And now let's say goodbye to your lifepoints!" Mokuba added. "Attack him directly!"
The three monsters rushed toward Max and Hecate. Hecate let out a wicked smirk as a barrier appeared in front of the three, destroying them into pieces!
"What?" Mokuba gasped out. "How did you stop my attack?"
"With this!" said Max, revealing his face down card. It showed a blast of fire being deflected by some sort of barrier.
"This is Radiant Mirror Force." Max explained to his opponent. "And this can only work if my opponent declares an attack while they have three or more monsters in Attack Mode! If he does, then I can destroy all monsters on your side of the field in Attack Mode!"
"And every single one of Mokuba's monsters were in Attack Mode!" said Téa. "That means his whole field is cleared."
"Not for long!" said Mokuba. "When Sky Emperor Polaris is destroyed. I can summon two Celestial Spirit monsters from my hand or deck onto the field. Plus, since Celestial Spirit-Triangulum was destroyed by a Trap card, then I can summon three 'Trangulum Tokens' onto the field!
"So now, thanks to Polaris's effect...I'll summon Celestial Spirit-Aries and Celestial Spirit-Capricorn onto the field!"
Three warriors dressed similar to Celestial Spirit-Triangulum appeared, shields ready to deflect any attack. (1,000/1,000) Then a bighorn sheep with red eyes emerged, smoke flaring from its nostrils. (1,550/1,300) The last monster was a combination of a goat and a fish—it had the head of a goat, along with its front legs and torso, but after that it ended with a shimmering blue fish tail. (1,700/1,000).
"When Capricorn is on the field, all Beast and Beast-Warrior monsters on my side of the field gain 200 Attack Points." Mokuba continued. "So now Aries and Capricorn will get a small power boost!"
Capricorn and Aries bleated as their Attack Strength was raised to 1,900 and 1,750 respectively.
"Now I'll sacrifice two Triangulum tokens to play Celestial Spirit-Draco in Attack Mode!"
Two of the tokens vanished, and taking its place was a white serpentine dragon with golden spikes trailing down its back. Its wings shimmered liked the stars as it stared at Max with a curious air in its blue eyes. (2,600/1,500)
"I'm ending it with a card face down. And that's it." said Mokuba.
It's about time Mokuba played a face down card again. Max thought to himself. I guess my trap card made him realize that he wasn't focusing...well, this make things a bit more fun.
"My move!" said Max, drawing a card. "And now I'll activate my Blue Fairy Book's special ability!"
The book began to glow as a card emerged from its pages.
"If I activate its effect, then I can take one Magic Card in my deck into my hand, then I shuffle it!" said Max, taking a Magic Card into his hand. His deck was shuffled by his Duel Disk as another Magic Card escaped the deck.
"And once I use Blue Fairy Book's ability, I can bring out Crimson Fairy Book onto the field!"
A crimson hardcovered book appeared next to Blue Fairy Book, depicting a knight on top of a slain dragon and surrounded by seraphim in gold. At the same time, the Roman Numeral for two appeared on top of Royal Magical Library.
"Now I think I'll use my new Magic Card, Spell Power Grasp!"
A third Magic Card appeared, with Endymion, Master Magician raising his staff into the air.
"With this Magic Card, I can place one Spell Counter onto a monster!" Max explained. "And after that, I can take another Spell Power Grasp into my hand. But I can only use one Spell Power Grasp per turn.
"But that doesn't matter, because when Royal Magical Library has Spell Counters, I get to draw one more card!"
The number above Royal Magical Library shattered as Max gained two more cards, expanding his hand to four cards. He then placed a monster onto the field.
"Now say hello to Tarot Arcane Magus!" said Max.
A magician appeared dressed in a white tunic, sandals and a red cape. He had long brown hair and blue eyes with the infinity symbol above his head. Surrounding him were four items: a wand, a cup, a sword and a coin. (100/100)
"That's...strange." said Mokuba. "Why would you summon such a weak monster?"
Max ignored the question as he pointed at Draco.
"Hecate," He cried. "Destroy Celestial Spirit-Draco with Witch's Brew!"
Hecate let out a cackle as she attacked Draco with a magical attack.
"I'm activating Shift!" said Mokuba, his face down card flipped open. "Now your attack is going to target my last Triangulum Token!"
The magic blast soon rained down upon the token, the warrior screaming in pain as it was destroyed. Max took no heed to this as he placed two cards face down on the field and signaled the end of his turn.
Max is pretty serious about this duel. Mokuba thought to himself, drawing a card. And so am I! While I don't have any cards in my hand to destroy those magic cards, I have a card in my deck to stop Hecate from attacking my lifepoints.
"I'm activating Draco's effect!" Mokuba announced. "Just like your Blue Fairy Book, I can take one Magic Card from my deck into my hand at the end of my turn. All I have to do is skip my next Draw Phase.
"Next, I'm going to change Capricorn's type from Beast to Aqua!"
"Changing a monster's type?" asked Yami. "That's interesting."
Capricorn gave out a bleat as it became wrapped in a blue aura.
"What is that?" asked Max.
"Capricorn's special ability." Mokuba answered back." You see, Capricorn is known as the 'goat-fish' in Constellations. And it's attributed in its effect: once per turn I can change its effect to either Beast or Aqua. Depending on the type, Capricorn has a different effect. And when Capricorn is an Aqua monster, it can attack directly!
"So now, Capricorn...attack Max with Algiedi headbutt!"
Capricorn lept into the air, ready to hit Max in the forehead.
"Not so fast!" said Max. "I'm activating Tarot Arcane Magus's special ability! I'm going to flip a coin, and if I call it right your Battle Phase ends!"
Tarot Arcane Magus tossed his coin into the air, the coin flipping between heads and tails. Everyone looked as the coin fell onto the ground, landing on tails.
"All right!" said Max, pumping a fist into the air. "That means I'm safe for another round."
"I'm not done yet, though!" said Mokuba. "I'm playing Celestial Spirit-Lacerta onto the field in Defense Mode!"
A blue lizard appeared with yellow stars upon its scaly body. (500/1,500)
"I'll end it at that." Mokuba ended. "And now I'll get my Magic Card!"
A card ejected from his deck as he took it into his hand. Max drew a card in response.
"All right!" He announced. "Time to play my second Spell Power Grasp! And with that, Royal Magical Library gains 2 Spell Counters, and I gain another Spell Power Grasp!"
Royal Magical Library soon had the Roman Numeral for two hovering above it once more as Max took another card into his hand.
"Now I'll activate Crimson Fairy Book's effect! If I sacrifice one Spellcaster on my side of the field, then I can increase one monster's Attack or Defense Points equal to the sacrificed monster's level times 100! I'll sacrifice Tarot Arcane Magus to increase Royal Magical Library's Defense Points!"
Tarot Arcane Magus transformed into a cluster of stars and began to shine above Royal Magical Library, raising its Defense to 2,100.
"And since I activate its effect, I can now play Grey Fairy Book from my deck or hand onto the field!" Max added.
"How many of these books are there?" asked Mokuba.
"Three." Max answered. "And once all three are on the field...something will happen."
A third book appeared, depicting a fairy flying on an owl, waving a wand underneath the crescent moon. Then the three books soon began to glow...
"Once all three Fairy Books are on the field, I send them to the graveyard...and then I get to summon the creator of these books!"
The pages of the books were ripped open, swirling into a tornado of paper as a figure appeared. He had long lilac hair going down to his waist and dressed in a blue cloak and cape made out of pages of books. In his hand was a staff that looked like a giant quill feather and he was staring at Mokuba with a calm and gentle face. (2,000/1,800)
"Meet Storyteller Virgil!" said Max. "And now I'm going to use his special ability!"
Virgil raised his staff into the air as two books appeared—one which was green and the other was yellow. (0/0)
"What the heck are those?" asked Mokuba.
"Bookweaver tokens." Max answered back. "I can Special Summon these onto the field by removing from play two Magic Cards in my graveyard. And as long as Virgil is on the field, you can't attack them! Plus, if I used them for a Tribute Summon, they can only be used for a Light monster in my hand.
"Oh, and I hope you've been paying attention, but since Royal Magical Libray has three Spell Counters on it, I get one more card!"
The Roman Numeral above Royal Magical Library disappeared once more as Max drew a card.
"Now I'm activating my face down card!" He announced. "My Supremacy Berry!"
The Magic Card flipped open, revealing a dove clutching an olive branch in its mouth.
"Here's how this works." said Max. "I gain 2,000 lifepoints if my lifepoints are lower than yours when I activated this card. But if if my lifepoints are greater than yours, I lose 1,000. And since I have 3,100 lifepoints compared to your 3,600, then my new lifepoint count is at 5,100!
"And why end it at that? Virgil and Hecate, destroy Capricorn and Draco now!"
Virgil and Hecate raised their staff and cane respectively before letting out a blast of magic at the monsters. The two soon exploded as Mokuba's lifepoints were chipped away.
"I'm ending this with one card face down." said Max. "And that's it."
(Max: 5,100)
(Mokuba: 3,200)
Darn it. Mokuba thought to himself. I underestimated Max; he's already got more lifepoints than me and has avoided getting his monster destroyed. I better change my strategy or else it's game over.
"Look out!" said Mokuba. "I'm activating Lacerta's special ability! I can remove him from play to Special Summon a monster from my hand or deck whose level is equal to his. And I choose my Celestial Spirit-Lepus!"
Lacerta soon vanished before a white bunny rabbit took its place. It had a ribbon with a white star around its neck and black star patch on its forehead. (800/700)
"And I'm going to send Lepus to the graveyard to draw three more cards!" Mokuba continued. "And if I draw any Celestial Spirits, they are Special Summoned onto the field."
Lepus twitched its ears and leapt into the air as Mokuba drew three more cards. He then took two of them and showed them to Max.
"Here they are!" He announced. "Meet Celestial Spirit-Corvus and Celestial Spirit-Auriga!"
Two more monsters appeared, one being a black crow with a white star on its wings (300/400) and the other being a young boy riding a chariot being drawn by a black and white sphinx (700/700)
"And here's Auriga's effect!" said Mokuba. "He can attack directly as long as I have a Beast or Beast-Warrior monster on the field.
"But I'm not done yet! Now I'll sacrifice Corvus and Aries to bring out Celestial Spirit-Ursa Major!"
Corus and Aries disappeared as they were replaced by the giant black bear standing on its hind legs. It let out a roar at Max's monsters. (3,250/2,700)
"This...can't be good." said Max, seeing the giant monster.
"It sure isn't!" said Mokuba. "And now Auriga, attack with Capella Rush!"
Auriga soon rushed toward Max, swerving to and fro his monsters as it neared Max. Max was expecting to be run over by the sphinxes...but instead had his shoulder patted on by the charioteer.
"That was strange." said Max.
"But this won't be!" said Mokuba, pointing at Virgil. "Now Ursa Major, destroy him with Alkaid Slash!"
Ursa Major's claws began to glow white as it lumbered toward Virgil. Virgil stared at Ursa Major with a calm and gentle face.
"I activate Mirror of Reflection!" said Max. "And I know which card to copy."
"Not this again!" Mokuba exclaimed, recalling how May used her Mirror of Reflection to copy Shift. "You're going to use Shift, aren't you?"
"Normally, I would." Max replied. "But this time, I'm going to be using your Attack Guidance Armor to redirect your attack to Royal Magical Library!"
The Trap Card soon became Attack Guidance Armor and equipped itself to the Library. Ursa Major's claws soon slashed through the Library as Max soon felt a jolt of pain going through his body.
"Oh," said Mokuba. "I hope I didn't forget to mention this, but whenever Ursa Major successfully destroys a monster, the person who controlled it loses 200 lifepoints for every Beast and Beast-Warrior in my graveyard! And last time I checked, I had Aries since Capricorn was an Aqua monster when I sacrificed him."
"Good to know." said Max. "Now are you done?"
"Not yet." said Mokuba. "Now I'll activate the card I got from Draco's effect. I'm activating my Star Clock Magic Card!"
A Magic Card appeared, depicting a pendulum clock with a star for a pendulum and the tips of its minute and hour hands being stars.
"Is that card based off of a constellation?" asked Max.
"Yep!" Mokuba said in reply. "This one is based off of 'Horologium' which is translated into pendulum clock! But this clock has a nifty effect! Watch!"
The Magic Card was replaced by a similar looking pendulum clock which soon began to chime at 12 o'clock. Then the glass panel opened as Hecate was sucked inside!
"When Star Clock is in play, I get to remove from play one monster on the field! And as long as this card is in play, that's where they go. And if you manage to destroy this card, the monster goes back into your hand!"
"That was a very smart move." said Yami. "Hecate can only be destroyed once all the other monsters on Max's side of the field were destroyed. And those tokens weren't going to be destroyed until Virgil was removed from the field. And even if Max destroys the card, he'll have to remove from play three more monsters in his graveyard to summon her onto the field."
"It looks like Mokuba might win this duel from the looks of it." said Téa. "Although Max doesn't look like he's backing down."
"I'm ending my turn at that." said Mokuba. "Your move."
(Max: 4,900)
(Mokuba: 3,200)
Max drew a card from his deck.
All right...He thought to himself. Ursa Major can't be destroyed in battle and you don't have any other monsters in your deck to stop it. But first things first, it's time to get rid of that Star Clock.
"I'm sacrificing both of my Bookweaver Tokens to bring out Avalon's Enchantress Morgana in Attack Mode!"
The books disappeared as a a woman with long white braided hair appeared dressed in a blue and green robe. She was wielding an oak staff with a black orb inset on top of it. (2,300/2,400)
"And that's not all!" said Max. "I'm playing my Black Book of Curses Magic Card!"
A Magic Card appeared, depicting a black hard-covered book with silver runes depicted on it.
"Lucky for you, this card benefits the both of us! By discarding one monster from our hands, we get to draw three cards! So, I'll discard my Golden Ladybug to activate this effect!"
"Fine by me!" said Mokuba, discarding a card. He then drew three more cards, while Max did the same. Mokuba had three cards in his hand, Max had five.
"And I'm not done!" said Max. "I'm going to activate Morgana's special ability. If I draw outside of my Draw Phase, she gets to destroy one Magic Card on the field! And I know which one to choose!"
Morgana raised her staff as Star Clock shattered into pieces. Max then took Hecate back into his hand.
"Now I'll place Virgil in Defense mode..."
Virgil then knelt onto the ground.
"And then I'll play Millennium Comet!"
"Millennium Comet?" asked Mokuba, sweat pouring down his face. "Don't tell me...is that for Jirachi?"
"You got it!" said Max. A black meteor appeared on the field, illuminated by a pale, glowing light.
"And now," Max continued. "I'll discard my newly drawn Medieval Wizard Merlin and my Guardian of Witches, Hecate to summon my friend, Jirachi, Wish Granter!"
The two monsters appeared: one was a wizard with a blue robe and hat with stars decorating it, the other was the white wearing eldery woman. They soon became orbs of light and shined amongst the comet. The meteorite soon started to crumble as Jirachi appeared, opening its eyes. (?/1,000)
"Jirachi's Attack Score is determined by the Attack Score of the monsters I used to summon him." Max explained. "I split that in half, and there we go! Since Merlin had 3,400 Attack Points and Hecate had 2,700...half that and you get 2,950 Attack Points!"
Jirachi smiled in content. (2,950/1,000)
"I'm going to end this with a card face down. Your move." said Max.
All right Mokuba... Mokuba thought to himself. You got a good hand...now it's time to use it!
"My draw!" He announced. "And now I'm going to play a couple of Magic Cards of my own!
"First off is my White Dwarf Magic Card! It decreases the Attack Strength of every monster on your side of the field equal to the number of Celestial Spirits in my graveyard by 100!"
"Wait, how many Celestial Spirits are in his graveyard?" asked Téa.
"Eleven of them to be exact." said Mokuba, playing the card. "And that means Morgana, Jirachi and Virgil lose 1,100 Attack Points!"
The Magic Card appeared, depicting a small pinpoint of light amongst the black background, shining bright. Then Max's monsters moaned in pain, as their Attack Score went down.
"I'm not done! I'm playing Alignment of the Stars! This makes all monsters shift to Attack Mode until the end of your next turn!"
A second Magic Card appeared, showing the constellations of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor with lines connecting to them both. Virgil moaned as he moved into Attack Mode.
"Finally, I'm playing my Monster Reborn!"
"At least it's a Magic Card I've heard about this time." Max said with sarcasm.
"Very funny." said Mokuba. "You won't be laughing when I bring back Sky Emperor Polaris back onto the field!"
The Magic Card was replaced by the King of the Celestial Spirits, a small smirk on his lips. (4,000/3,750)
"Oh boy..." said Max, swallowing a lump in his throat. "This won't end well..."
"You bet it won't!" said Mokuba. "Jirach now has 1,850 Attack Points, Virgil is down to 9,00 and Morgana has 800! If both Polaris and Ursa Major strike...game over.
"Let's start off with Auriga! Attack directly!"
Auriga rushed toward Max again. This time when he got to the Prince of Wisdom, he slapped the young boy slapped Max across the face.
"And now, Sky Emperor Polaris and Ursa Major! End this duel!"
Sky Emperor Polaris raised his staff into the air while Ursa Major's claws began to glow white. They then charged toward Max's monsters.
"I'm activating my face down card!" said Max. "I'm activating 3 Wishes!"
"WHAT?" Mokbua exclaimed, seeing the Trap Card. It depicted a genie's lamp with smoke escaping the spout and three stars shining above it.
"You should know how this card works since you gave it to me." said Max. "For the price of half of my lifepoints, I can choose to do one of three things: I can end your turn, I can destroy all of your monsters, or I can 3,000 lifepoints before the attacks connect!
"For the sake of convenience, I'm ending your turn!"
The Trap Card vanished as both Polaris and Ursa Major soon returned to Mokuba's side of the field.
"It looks like Max saved himself for one more round." said Yami. "Let's see if it was worth it."
(Max: 2,450)
(Mokuba: 3,200)
Max drew a card. There was some silence as he read through his hand.
"Looks like I win." He stated.
"What do you mean you win?" asked Mokuba. "Your monsters are weak compared to mine!"
"We'll see about that." said Max. "Because my hand has cards that are going to blow you away!
"First, I gain 1,000 lifepoints due to Jirachi's effect. Then I'm sacrificing Virgil and Morgana for my Dark Magician!"
The two Spellcasters nodded their heads as the red Dark Magician appeared, grinning at Sky Emperor Polaris and Ursa Major. (2,500/2,100)
"Next, I'll be playing Curtain Call, which allows us to return all cards that were remove from play back into our graveyards."
A Magic Card appeared, depicting Masked Enchanter Houdini, Silent Magician LV 8 and Dark Magcian behind the stage curtain.
Oh man... Mokuba thought to himself. Max has been sending cards from play, and if he's planning what I think he's planning...This is definetly not good.
"I have around 6 cards removed from play, while you only have Lacerta." said Max. "And that's not all, I'm going to be playing Magic Poppet and equip it to Jirachi!"
An Equip Magic Card appeared, depicting a doll version of the original Dark Magician being cradled in Silent Magician LV 4's arms. Suddenly, Jirachi began to glow.
"With Magic Poppet, I can transform Jirachi into a Spellcaster monster!"
Oh yeah...I know where this is going to head. Mokuba thought to himself.
Jirachi grew taller and gained more of a human shape. When the light dimmed, Jirachi looked like a young boy with brown hair with a star shaped hat with blue teal tags hanging from the tips. Blue triangle marks were on his arms and he was dressed in a white robe with sleeves going past his arms. A black crescent was on his chest and he even had a yellow cape tied around his neck. He opened his eyes, staring at Mokuba curiously.
"He's so cute!" Téa cooed, seeing Jirachi's new form.
"But looks can be deceiving, Téa." said Yami. "It must have some special power inside it."
"Next up is my Witch's Ball!" Max continued. "This allows me—at the cost of 600 lifepoints—Special Summon a Spellcaster from my Deck onto the field! And I'm going to summon my Immortal Alchemist Flamel in Attack Mode!"
A third Magic Card appeared, depicting Silent Magician LV 8 grasping a blue glittering sphere in her hands. It was then replaced with a man with short blonde hair dressed in a red robe with silver thread lining it. He let out a hearty laugh. (1,900/2,900)
"Flamel is immortal, but he had to sacrifice something in order to gain it." Max explained. "And for 200 lifepoints, I get to draw one card! I'll sacrifice another 1,000 lifepoints do draw 5 more cards!"
Flamel chanted under his breath as Max drew five more cards. Max then let out a big grin.
"This is the end!" He announced. "I play Grand Finale!"
The Magic Card appeared as orbs of light escaped Max's graveyard.
"I have ten Spellcasters in my graveyard," Max continued. "So my monsters gain 1,000 Attack Points, and your monsters lose 1,000!"
The orbs transformed into all of Max's Spellcasters. First there was Rapid Fire Magician, then there was Chaos Command Magician and both of the Emissary of the Oasis monsters. After them came Tarot Arcane Magus and Royal Magical Library followed up with Hecate and Merlin. Last but not least was Virgil and Morgana...each of the Spellcasters strengthening the three monsters on Max's side of the field, raising their Attack Points by 1,000.
Meanwhile, Ursa Major, Sky Emperor Polaris and Auriga moaned as their Attack strength went down. Ursa Major was now as 2,250, Sky Emperor Polaris was at 3,000 and Auriga had no Attack Points.
"And before I attack, I'll discard Illusion Duo Pendragons to destroy Auriga!" said Max. "Now Jirachi, Hyper Beam!"
Jirachi raised his hands as an orange orb of energy appeared. It then flew toward Auriga who could do nothing but scream as he exploded into pieces. Mokuba shielded imself with his Duel Disk as he lost 600 lifepoints.
"All right!" said Max, pointing to Ursa Major and Sky Emperor Polaris. "Flamel, attack Ursa Major with Eternal Blast! Dark Magician, attack Ursa Major with Dark Magic Attack! Jirachi, attack Ursa Major with Doom Desire!"
Flamel raised his hands as an orb of white energy appeared. Dark Magician raised his staff, and Jirachi began to glow in a silver aura. Then the three fired their attacks, ending it with a huge beacon of light for everyone in the desert to see. Then it died down with Ursa Major letting out a weak roar.
"I'm ending my turn at that." said Max. "You're up."
(Max: 850)
(Mokuba: 100)
"There's no need to continue, Max." said Mokuba, placing a hand on his deck. "I surrender."
(Max: 850)
(Mokuba: 0)
The holograms vanished as Mokuba fell onto his knees, the last card in his hand dropping onto the ground. It was Celestial Spirit-Scutum.
"What?" Max exclaimed. "Mokuba, why didn't you play Scutum? You would've lasted one more round if you discarded it."
"But then what?" asked Mokuba. "Even if I played Scutum, there would be no way for Polaris to go through your monsters, and I didn't have any monster in my deck that could last one turn with them. So, I had no choice but to surrender. But I'm glad I had this duel, because it's made me ready for what's ahead."
"But it was still a good duel." said Max. "You had me worried for a bit when you started to play nothing but Monster cards, and yet you nearly had me at the edge of my seat with your Magic Cards."
Mokuba smiled as he stood up. "Thanks." He replied.
"That was an excellent duel, you two." said Yami. "Perhaps the two of you will become potential rivals."
"Maybe we are already." said Mokuba. "But now's not the time to act so cheery. We need to get to Florida right now."
Max nodded his head as he gathered his cards. He then stared at the distance in front of him.
"I hope you're doing alright, May." He whispered to himself. "Where are you?"
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
May stared at the cards in her deck. She was happy because her Gravekeeper's Deck and her Ancient Pharaoh deck were now filled with new cards to support it. With the new additions, no one would stand in her way. She then placed her Ancient Pharaoh deck into her Duel Disk, placing a hand over the deck of cards.
"Thanks for the help." said May. "This should help me out."
"Well you are Mokuba's friend." said Kaiba in response. "And you did work hard to protect Ra from those bikers...It's the least I can do."
"I'm glad." said May. She then let out a sigh as she brought out Altaria's Poké ball, the Humming Pokémon still fast asleep.
"Return, Altaria." And with that, Altaria returned to the Poké ball before the sphere was put away in the waistpack.
May then turned to her right and gasped. In front of her eyes was something that looked similar to the Aurora Borealis in Alaska.
"Oh no...this isn't good." She whispered. "The Great Leviathan is going to awaken soon!"
"Are you sure about that?" asked Kaiba, staring out the window. "It could be just some sort of trick."
"I'm sure about it. This was just like what happened the day after those bikers tried to steal the Egyptian God Cards. But it shouldn't be like this; they don't have Ra on them, so how can they be trying to be summoning it now. Unless...
"Unless they got a few more souls for the Leviathan to feed on!"
"Your attention, please." announced the pilot. "We may be experiencing some mild turbulence. Please fasten your seat belts, just to be safe."
May's eyes widened when she heard that voice. "Oh no..."
"What is it now?" asked Kaiba.
May slowly stood up and whispered something in Kaiba's ear. Kaiba's eyes widened when he heard the news.
"That punk." Kaiba hissed, making sure the 'pilot' didn't hear him. "What are we going to do now?"
"...I don't know." May answered back.
