Hello everyone! Well, this past weekend was not too bad. Saturday, I went out and helped my dad put up a building. He had bought two, and we had put one up earlier this winter/spring (can't remember when it was, lol. it was like February or March), so this one went up a little easier. With the help of my step brother and step mom, we had it up in four hours, all but the doors that is. I think him and my step brother got them on after I left. Anyways, Saturday evening was interesting with my mate. She was a bit grouchy with me, which I guess I was annoying her a little bit, but no more than usual, lol. But needless to say, it was a shopping trip for groceries that I'd like to somewhat forget, lol. Sunday, I saw my grandparents, who were doing well. I sat and talked with my grandpa for a while, which was fun. I enjoy spending time with him, but some of the things he said made me really wish I had more time to spend with him. I don't know if it's guilt or what… In a lot of ways, I miss how he once was. I think all of my family does, but we just have to hope and pray he does get somewhat better. It's just up to him to see if he wants to or not, but if not, I'm just thankful he's still alive, and that's more than enough for me in the end. But my heart goes out to him so much. He wishes for my grandmother to have a long life if he dies. I consoled him though, and told him that he'd live a long time also, and maybe one day me and my mate will bring him some great grand children. Of course, that's some time away, but you never know, lol. Ok, enough stuff that makes me feel sad. At any rate, things went good with me and him, and my grandmother got to do her shopping. Other than that, nothing happened really.

Writing wise, I'm thinking on some stuff for this story, and still working diligently on Another. Both are so time consuming, but it's all good. I love to write still, so I'm not going to complain about writing, lol.

Last time, Yugi and Kaiba's duel began, with the famous rivals battling it out at full power. Neither seemed to take a clear cut advantage, but now Yugi faces off with the infamously powerful VWXYZ – Dragon Cannon Catapult, which has rendered Yugi's defenses helpless. Can the King of Games rebound and win this duel, or has his time ended as King of Games and Kaiba's time just begun?

Alright, time for reviews!

Metal Overlord 2.0: Yeah, me and ardee (more ardee than me, lol) decided to put this duel out and let everyone see the rivals fight it out. I normally like to keep the duels strictly close to my characters, but it's all good, and I think this duel should be wrote out, which ardee did, lol. Yes, Kaiba expanded his arsenal to incorporate the V and W monsters with his XYZ ones. True, he could have used some of the Rise of the Dragon Lords structure deck monsters, but eh, it didn't happen, lol. Besides, I'm unsure if that deck was out when this duel was written… I'd have to think about it, lol. It probably was, but oh well. We both really liked your idea, and I'll probably talk to you about it again today, so look for a PM in the near future. Thanks for the review!

Vyser Dragoon: Thanks, and yes, more Chazz cards. Lol, Kaiba made those cards famous before Chazz, with exception of V and W. So true, Chazz copied Kaiba, so maybe Kaiba could sue for copyright infringement? Lol, never know. Never know, maybe Kaiba will Kaiba-Kick Yugi down once and for all. Thanks for the review!

Aelsthla-Mental: Yep, a triple fusion, with two subs. I think that's a legal move, but I'm unsure myself. I have to look that one up. I'm just not too sure on it. Yep, De-Fusion has reared it's ugly head again, but to stop an attack for once, lol. I believe it can do subs, from what I remember, but again, I'm not so up on the rules as I once was. True, the anime has done far worse things than I have. Yes, Legato was originally from Trigun. I used him in the last story, Forgotten Guardians, as the villain, along with Zell, who had Legato inhabiting his body. In the end, Legato gave Zell the boot from his body, who took refuge in Zane, only to have Marie throw him out, lol. But yes, Legato was awesome. Kind of creepy, but cool also, lol. Maybe it would have been better splitting the VWXYZ – Dragon Catapult Cannon into VW and XYZ, but it has the better of the abilities really. I mean, it can remove a monster without discarding, plus switch a monster's mode when it attacks. Those are pretty hard effects to compete with when you have to discard cards for the other two forms. Lol, yes, very true, he's Seto Kaiba, so deal with it. Thanks for the review!

Ultimate Legendary Master: So far, it is an intense duel, and I'm sure it only gets far more intense. True, everyone is pessimistic, but that's got to happen, lol. Glad you liked the chapter though. Thanks for the review!

Well, that's it for the reviews. Thank you each for them. I appreciated them, and liked the feedback. I always enjoy reading them to see what people thought. It's so very helpful in critiquing my style of writing. Lol, my mate commented recently that I've developed so much since ToP, and I kind of hope I have. Still, I have so much to learn, and reading these reviews helps me in that process, so thank you all once more.

That's it for me today, so I hope you all like this chapter. Till next time, enjoy!

Chapter 16

Picking up his next card, Yugi chuckled and calmly said "I place a card face down, and activate Card of Sanctity! You know the drill Kaiba, we each draw till we each hold six cards in our hands."

Grunting, Seto began picking up five cards while Yugi grabbed six new ones. Examining them, he smirked and said "Say good bye to that scrapheap this turn. I play the spell Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three cards, but toss out two once I'm done."

Snapping off three new cards, Yugi glanced at them and finally picked two from his hand and placed them into his Graveyard Slot, which sucked them in momentarily later. Pointing at his face down card, he called out "I reveal the spell Monster Reborn, allowing me to return to me my Dark Magician (2500/2100)!"

Rising up onto the field was a mage in purple robes and armor with a green staff in his hands. His hair was purple and somewhat hidden by the cone shaped mage's hat that he wore, and his eyes were lilac colored.

A bit shocked, Kaiba growled out "But I never destroyed that card! How did it get to your Graveyard!?"

"You should know Kaiba." Yugi wistfully replied. "I just played Graceful Charity, and had to discard two cards. That should have been a dead giveaway."

Remembering, Kaiba grumbled lowly to himself. Glaring at Yugi still, he shot back "That mage is too weak anyways to destroy my VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon anyways, so why bother with him!?"

"I have a very good reason. A good magician always has a trick up his sleeve." Yugi wryly said. Placing a card into his Spell/Trap Slot, he said "I activate the spell Thousand Knives! While Dark Magician is on the field, this card allows me to destroy one monster in play. You should know which I pick, so say farewell!"

Materializing onto the field around the purple robed mage were thousands of daggers that were all glowing with white light. Pointing his staff at the machine monster, the mage effectively sent the daggers shooting across the field. All of the daggers dug into the machine monster, making it let out a mechanical howl before exploding into millions of pixels.

Growling at the loss of his monster, Kaiba snarled "I won't lose that easily Yugi! Do you hear me!"

"I hear you loud and clear, Kaiba, which is why I'm playing the spell Fissure. This spell destroys the weakest monster on the field, so your Lord of Dragons is gone!"

Rising up out of the ground was a clawed hand. It grabbed hold of the weaker dragon robed mage, who screamed out in pain before being dragged below the ground.

Pointing at Kaiba, Yugi declared "Dark Magician, direct attack with Dark Magic Attack!"

Twirling his scepter, the purple robed mage let out a battle cry and pointed his staff at the CEO. The mage quickly released a green sphere of energy straight at his master's opponent, who grunted and braced himself for the oncoming blast. In a huge explosion, the blast scored a hit, pushing Kaiba backwards a bit and to one knee.

With a sly smile, Yugi calmly said "I end my turn." (Yugi 3800, Seto 1200)

Standing back up, Kaiba returned to his original position and quietly drew his card. After a moment, he began chuckling and said "Whenever the Dark Magician rises, only one card in my deck has the right to see that it falls."

Noting Yugi's grimace, Kaiba smirked and said "I first activate my spell, Shrink, and I target Dark Magician. This spell cuts his attack points in half (2500 / 2 1250/2100)."

Glowing with a red glow, the purple robed mage winced in pain while his strength was cut in half.

"Next up, I activate the spell Heavy Storm, destroying all our spell and trap cards."

A large burst of wind suddenly gusted across the field and blew away each and every face down and face up card the two had.

"Now I activate the spell Advanced Ritual Art! This allows me to summon a Ritual Type monster in my hand even if I don't have the required ritual spell card. Instead of sacrificing monsters from my hand, I'm required to sacrifice Normal Type monsters from my deck that equal out the number to summon the Ritual Type monster! I send the mighty Blue-Eyes White Dragon to my Graveyard in order to summon my Paladin of White Dragon (1900/1200)!"

Watching Kaiba remove the monster from his deck and place it into his Graveyard Slot, Yugi couldn't help but ponder over the move. "Since when does Kaiba get rid of his Blue-Eyes to summon a monster!?"

There was an ethereal shriek, and a white form appeared onto the field. The form took the shape of a smaller white dragon with golden eyes. On it's back was a demonic rider dressed in white armor. He carried a long blade that reflected the light from the stage lights of the arena.

Grabbing another card from his left hand, Kaiba placed it into his Spell/Trap Slot and said "Now I play Monster Reborn to bring back the Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500) I just sent to my Graveyard! Rise my great beast!"

A large, metallic looking white dragon, similar to the one that was on the field early on in the duel, materialized onto the field with a mighty roar while spreading out it's massive wings. Glaring at Yugi, it bared it's teeth and let out another mighty roar.

"Paladin of White Dragon, destroy that pitiful mage with Ionic Spear Burst!"

Flying higher into the air, the dragon and it's rider reached a high point and finally came rushing downwards towards the purple robed mage. The dragon roared lightly while the warrior plunged his lance into the mage's chest, making the mage scream out in pain before shattering.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon, direct attack with White Lightning!"

Roaring loudly, the white metallic dragon shot a beam of pure white energy straight at Yugi, who crossed his arms and prepared for the blast. With tremendous force, the beam struck him, making him scream out in pain and fall to one knee panting heavily.

Smirking at Yugi's painful expression on his face, Kaiba smugly mocked "It hurts, doesn't it Yugi? Well, the pain will soon disappear once I bring out your worst nightmare. I activate Paladin's effect, sacrificing him in order to bring out my final Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)!"

Vanishing in a flash of light, the warrior and the dragon disappeared. In their place, another large white, metallic looking dragon materialized and let out a massive roar.

"I set a card and end my turn." (Yugi 150, Seto 1200)

Still panting heavily and on one knee, Yugi attempted to stand up, only to fall back down to his one knee. Clenching his right fist, he tried again, this time finding success in standing back up. Glaring at the twin white dragons, he looked at his deck and then back up at Kaiba. After a moment, his breathing calmed and he closed his eyes. Calming himself, he took a deep breath and then let out. Opening his violet eyes, he drew and smirked.

"Those dragons are powerful indeed, but I can beat them. First, I play the spell Silent Doom, allowing me to bring back from my Graveyard to the field in defense my Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600)!"

The yellow magnet creature that had been banished early in the duel reappeared onto the field in a kneeling stance.

"Next, I place a face down card and then activate the spell Emergency Provisions! I send my face down card to my Graveyard with Emergency Provision's effect, which happens to be Diffusion Wave-Motion, and gain 1000 life points."

Vanishing from the field was the face down card, which revealed itself while turning into dust and flowing into Yugi's Duel Disk, making his life point counter jump upwards.

Shrugging at the move, Kaiba smartly mocked "Big deal, you raised your life points. It won't help you still."

"You'll change your tune soon enough." Yugi shot back. "I play a card you should be familiar with, my Ties of the Brethren! By paying a 1000 life points, I can special summon two level four or lower monsters from my deck to the field, so long as they're the same attribute."

Pulling his deck out, Yugi grabbed two cards from it and slapped both onto his Duel Disk horizontally, saying "I pick these two, my Alpha (1400/1700) and Gamma the Magnet Warriors (1500/1800)"

Materializing onto the field in kneeling positions were two magnet creatures. The first was a dull grey one with a sword and shield, with a magnet on it's shield. The other was a pink magnet creature with wings with it's arms crossed.

Eyes widening, Kaiba growled out "NO!"

"Yes!" Yugi fired back. "I sacrifice all three of my Magnet Warriors to special summon one of my most powerful creatures. Arise my Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500/3850)!"

Each of the three magnet creatures let out a small moan and began to split apart. Slowly, the pieces began to form a new single creature. The creature had a sword, powerful arms and feet, a strong set of pink wings, and a yellow masked face with magnets on each side of it. Letting out a new moan, the creature took an offensive stance.

Glaring at the new creature, Kaiba cursed softly. "That thing is stronger than my Blue-Eyes!"

"That's right Kaiba, meaning you're about to lose one of them. Go Valkyrion, cleave up one of his Blue-Eyes with Magna Slash!" Yugi commanded.

Flying across the field, the large magnet creature drew back it's sword. Reaching the white dragon, the warrior slashed his sword across it's chest, cleaving the dragon in half with a single swing. The dragon instantly exploded into millions of pieces, leaving Kaiba covering his face from the smoke.

Lowly chuckling, Kaiba said "Very impressive, Yugi. Once again our life points are nearly even."

Nodding in reply, Yugi replied "That's right, and soon yours will be zero."

"I won't lose this battle Yugi." Kaiba calmly said. Glaring at him, he bellowed "I won't lose to you again! My deck is perfect and will take you down!"

"There is no such thing as perfection." Yugi smartly remarked. "But feel free to try and prove me wrong. I end my turn." (Yugi 150, Seto 700)

Drawing a new card, Seto slapped it horizontally onto his Duel Disk and said "I set this monster and then I'll set a face down card. Finally, I switch my Blue-Eyes to defense in order to end. Your go." (Yugi 1150, Seto 700)

Picking up his next card, Yugi placed it onto his Duel Disk, calmly saying "I summon my Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (1500/1200)."

A brown lion like creature with a black mane, a horn on his forehead, glowing yellow eyes and sharp clawed hands and feet appeared onto the field.

Pointing at the white dragon, Yugi declared "Valkyrion, destroy his last Blue-Eyes!"

Rushing across the field, the magnet warrior made quick work of the remaining white dragon, who howled in pain when slashed in half. Kaiba only held his hand over his face to shield himself from the explosion that ensued from the dragon's untimely end.

"Gazelle, destroy his face down monster!"

Racing forward, the lion like creature leapt into the air and came slamming down on top of the face down card image. The image shattered, revealing a machine like pot with a blue face with a bulging eye. A beam of light instantly shot from the pot to the lion creature, shattering it. Another beam was then fired at the magnet creature, making it moan before exploding. The pot itself then exploded.

Manically laughing, Kaiba shouted "Thanks for destroying my Cyber Jar (900/900)! Since he was just destroyed, all monsters were blown away with him. Next, we each pick up five cards and show them to one another. If there are any level four or lower monsters in the pile, we can special summon them to the field in attack mode or set them in defense."

Nodding, Yugi proceeded to pick up five cards from his deck, which Kaiba did the same also. Showing the five cards to one another, each picked out the level four monsters.

"I'm going to set my Silent Magician (1000/1000) and Skilled White Magician (1700/1900) in defense each." Yugi declared.

Selecting two monsters from his own five cards, Seto slapped both onto his Duel Disk, saying "I'll summon Vorse Raider (1900/1200) and Kaiser Seahorse (1700/1650) in attack mode!"

An olive skinned ogre wielding an axe like spear in black leather first appeared onto the field. Next to him materialized a strange dark blue and purple sea monster like creature, wielding a golden trident and shield.

"It's still your move Yugi, so finish up so I can pummel you." Kaiba snidely remarked.

Nodding lightly, Yugi calmly said "I activate the spell Burial from a Different Dimension, allowing me to take up to three monsters in my removed from play pile and put them into my Graveyard. I think I'll move my Buster Blader and Magician of Faith both and put them into my Grave."

Opening the extra slot on his Duel Disk, Yugi picked up both cards and slid them into the Graveyard Slot, which sucked them in slowly one by one. "Next, I play a spell known as Pot of Avarice. With this, I can take five monsters from my Graveyard and transfer them to my deck. I can then shuffle and draw two cards. My choices are Dark Magician, Buster Blader, Winged Kuriboh, Summoned Skull and Magician of Faith."

Glowing to life, the slot slowly pushed the five cards out. Once all five were collected, Yugi picked them up and shuffled them into his deck. Finishing up, he snapped off two new cards and examined them momentarily.

"I set a card face down and I end my move." (Yugi 150, Seto 700)

Slowly drawing, Kaiba examined his card and smirked. "Vorse Raider, tear that left hand face down monster apart!"

Rushing forward at a quick pace, the ogre slammed his spear through the face down card image, shattering it instantly. From the image appeared a weaker young mage in white robes with a blue bodysuit underneath. His face had a horrified look on it before he exploded into millions of pixels.

"Since both my monsters are too weak to break the defense of your Skilled White Magician, I set one card and end my turn." (Yugi 150, Seto 700)

Picking up a new card, Yugi grinned at it and called out "I flip summon my face down Skilled White Magician (1700/1900)."

Materializing onto the field like the mage that was on the field earlier was a white robed mage.

"Next, I'm equipping him with the spell Book of Secret Arts! This boosts his strength by 300 points (1700 + 300 2000/1900 + 300 2200)!"

An ancient tome appeared before the white mage, who took it in his hands and read through it quickly. Finishing up, his body glowed with white energy while his strength increased. On the mage's right shoulder, the half sphere glowed to life.

"Not bad." Kaiba mused.

"Destroy his Kaiser Seahorse now my Skilled White Magician!" Yugi commanded.

Twirling his scepter in front of his body, the white robed mage finally stopped his staff that with it pointed at the blue and purple sea monster creature. A blast of white magical energy instantly went flying across the field and slammed into the creature, who let out a loud cry before finally shattering into pieces.

"I end my turn." (Yugi 150, Seto 500)

Quietly drawing, Kaiba grunted with irritation. "I switch Vorse Raider to defense mode and set a monster. That's it." (Yugi 150, Seto 500)

Drawing his next card, Yugi examined it and said "It's time for things to really heat up! I activate the spell Dark Magic Curtain! By paying half of my remaining life points, I can special summon my Dark Magician (2500/2100) from my deck!"

Appearing onto the field was a platform with a large red curtain, the top half of a skeleton with a red collar, and a pentagram design etched circle. Flying out of the curtains instantly was the familiar purple robed mage with lilac colored eyes. Landing onto the field, he smirked at Seto, seemingly challenging him. Beside the purple robed mage, the white robed mage's left shoulder glowed to life.

"Next, I play the spell Emblem of Dragon Destroyer, allowing me to transfer my Buster Blader from my deck to my hand."

While sifting through his deck for the monster card, the white mage's button on his chest glowed to life. All three now glowed brightly, making the mage softly smirk.

Finishing up with finding his monster, Yugi shuffled his deck and placed it back within it's slot. "With the activation of my last spell card, my Skilled White Magician now has three Spell Counters. I remove all three in order to sacrifice him to summon my Buster Blader (2600/2300)!"

Vanishing in a flash, the white mage left the field, making room for the familiar purple armored warrior once more. With a small battle cry, the warrior struck a pose with his sword drawn.

"As I'm sure you remember, he gains 500 attack points for every Dragon Type monster on your field and in your Graveyard. Since there are none of the field, let's count up the ones in your Graveyard, shall we?"

Kaiba frowned heavily as suddenly his Duel Disk's Graveyard Slot shot images of each and every Dragon Type monster.

"I count three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, a Paladin of White Dragon, and also Tyrant Dragon. That means you have five, which means Buster Blader gains a grand total of 2500 extra attack points (2600 + 2500 5100/2300)!"

Staring with wide eyes at the purple creature that glowed to life with more power, Kaiba barely managed to stifle a loud growl in the back of his throat.

Pointing at the ogre creature, Yugi declared "Buster Blader, destroy his Vorse Raider with Dragon Slayer's Slash!"

Letting out a battle cry, the purple warrior rushed across the field at nearly blinding speed. Arriving at his destination, the purple warrior made a simple slash through the air, decapitating the weaker ogre, which exploded almost immediately.

"Dark Magician, destroy his face down monster was Dark Magic Attack!"

Raising his staff, the mage fired out a sphere of green magical energy at the card image, which shattered quickly, revealing a weak black dragon that shrieked loudly before vanishing from the field.

"So much for my Pitch Dark Dragon (900/600)." Kaiba muttered.

Shrugging, Yugi simply said "I set a card and end my turn." (Yugi 75, Seto 500)

Grabbing a new card, Kaiba smirked at it and slapped it instantly to his Duel Disk. "It's time I took back control of this duel, and what better a way than with my Kaibaman (200/700)!"

A human looking monster slowly began materializing onto the field. His attire consisted of black leather pants, a white trench coat, a long black sleeved shirt that ran down to his black spiked tipped gloves, a red vest, long butt length red hair that flowed freely behind him, and a white dragon shaped helmet that covering his head. The resemblance the monster bore of Kaiba was the most shocking thing of all though.

Those in the crowd who did not like Kaiba immediately burst out loud laughing. Even his own fans were forced to stifle their giggles. Kaiba glared at Yugi, who was having a hard time biting back laughter.

"Is there a problem?" he asked icily.

"No… No, none at all Kaiba." Yugi replied in a muffled voice.

Nodding, Kaiba smirked and said "There had better not be, because things are about to get worse for you. I play the spell Monster Reincarnation, forcing me to discard a card and return one monster from my Graveyard to my hand. I toss out my Crush Card Virus card, allowing me to transfer my Blue-Eyes White Dragon back to my hand!"

All the laughing in the audience came to a stop immediately while Seto placed the card into his Graveyard Slot. The card was sucked in and soon shot the monster card back out. Smirking, he slapped it to his Duel Disk, declaring "I activate Kaibaman's special ability and sacrifice him to special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)!"

The man with long red hair vanished instantly and was replaced by one of the large white metallic looking dragons, which roared loudly.

Laughing manically, Kaiba pointed an angry finger at the purple mage, yelling "Blue-Eyes White Dragon, eliminate Yugi and his Dark Magician from this duel with your White Lightning!"

The white dragon roared loudly as it stretched out it's massive wings. In one massive beat of it's wings, the dragon was airborne and glared down at the purple armored mage. Slowly, the dragon's jaws opened, revealing white energy licking the tips of it's lips. With an earth shattering shot, it released the stream of lightning straight at the purple robed mage, who stared on in shock.

At the last second, Yugi reacted and called out "I play the trap Spellbinding Circle, which stops your attack and immobilizes your dragon!"

Forming before the purple robed mage instantly was a green circle with a strange golden symbol forming on the top, left, right, and bottom formed, with a white question mark like symbol in the center. The white blast of energy slammed into the circle, but was unable to go through it. Quickly, the circle began pushing the blast backwards towards the white dragon, which watched in shock. The circle soon encircled it, making it roar wildly while it struggled for it's freedom. Unable to free itself, the dragon fell back down to the field and growled out with irritation and resolve.

Gnashing his teeth together at this move, Kaiba snarled "I won't stand by and allow that to last very long! I thought I'd end the duel by using my dragon, but since you won't allow it, I'll beat you with all the power at my disposal! I activate the spell Dragon's Mirror! This acts like Polymerization, but for Dragon Type monsters. I may now remove monsters from play on either my field or Graveyard in order to form a Dragon Type Fusion monster. I remove all three of my Blue-Eyes White Dragons from play, to form my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800)!"

Two cards slid out of Kaiba's Graveyard Slot slowly, which he picked up, along with the third on his Duel Disk. On the field, two more white metallic dragons materialized on the field and let out a loud roar each. The three dragons suddenly began swirling together, melding their images into a blinding white light. From the light, the large three headed white dragon from early in the duel appeared and let out a terrifying roar from each head, making the entire arena shake from their power.

The entire crowd gasped in shock at the behemoth of a dragon that had appeared. Many were talking, saying Seto would win now, but many of Yugi's loyal fans continued to cheer for their hero.

On the field, Kaiba began laughing manically. Pointing an accusing finger at Yugi, he declared "Without those extra dragons in my Graveyard, your Buster Blader loses a few of his points (5100 – 1500 3600/2300)."

The purple armored warrior's body instantly glowed with a white light while his strength began to leave him, leaving him crying out a bit in disappointment.

"It's over for you, Yugi! Your reign as King of Games is as good as over!" Kaiba yelled with maniacal laughter. "Just admit it, you're finished! Take your turn, but it'll end soon enough!" (Yugi 75, Seto 500)

Staring at the field, Joey grumbled lowly "Damn that Kaiba, he always manages to push Yugi into a corner like that. It's so not fair he has monsters with over 3000 attack points."

Chuckling at Joey, Illidan calmly said "True, but Yugi isn't done quite yet. Don't forget, Yugi still has his Buster Blader and Dark Magician still out."

"Yeah, but neither are strong enough to take that dragon out." Marie informed.

Nodding, Mai added "Kaiba has seemingly thought of every possible angle. He's not letting Yugi win this one."

"I wouldn't count Yugi out yet." Illidan countered. "He has a lot of fight left in him, and he won't let Seto get the better of him just yet."

"Yeah, but can he beat these overwhelming odds?" Marie asked.

Smiling, Joey boastfully replied "Yugi has had the deck stacked against him before, and if there is anyone I believe can beat Kaiba, it's Yugi."

The group looked back down to the field, each hoping against all hope that their friend on the field could fight his way back.

On the field, Yugi drew his next card and examined it momentarily. Looking up at the three headed dragon across the field, he frowned. "With only Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on Kaiba's field, and Tyrant Dragon in his Graveyard, my Buster Blader can only gain 1000 extra attack points. I have Polymerization in my hand, but even my Dark Paladin can't beat that thing with it's bonus. At most, it would have 3900 points."

Calmly, he took the other card in his hand and showed it to Kaiba, saying "I play Pot of Greed, allowing me to pick up two more cards."

Drawing his two cards, Yugi frowned once more. "These two cards aren't very helpful either, since they're just Black Luster Soldier and The Light – Hex – Sealed Fusion... Wait, that's it!"

Smiling great big, Yugi lightly chuckled. Frowning at this, Kaiba teasingly asked "Are you so afraid now Yugi that you've resorted to laughing? Have you finally lost your nerve?"

"No, it's not that." Yugi chuckled. "It's the cards in my hand. They're going to be your undoing, but I'm just surprised I have this combo."

"You lie." Kaiba snapped.

Smirking, Yugi turned the three cards towards Kaiba, saying "Witness the truth! I play Polymerization, allowing me to fuse my Black Luster Soldier (3000/2500) and The Light – Hex – Sealed Fusion (1000/1600) to form a monster you're quite familiar with. After all, only you and I have ever formed this one together!"

Confused, Kaiba thought for a moment till suddenly his eyes widened with alarm. "NO, YOU CAN'T!" he exclaimed.

"I can! Rise up my Dragon Master Knight (5000/5000)!"

Materializing onto the field was a warrior in black full body armor with a bronzed sword and powerful shield. The skin on his face was light green and was the only skin revealed from his armor. Beside of him, a rock like monster with a single arm appeared that had a glow to it.

The two suddenly swirled together, creating a blinding light. From the light after a moment appeared the massive three headed dragon that was on the other side of the field, except this time it had a rider on it's back, which was the warrior in black armor. The three heads let out a massive roar, making the very arena shutter. On it's back, the warrior let out a battle cry, making all marvel at the creature.

"I've never heard of that monster." Zane stated with a confused look on his face.

Smiling, Illidan replied "It's only been summoned a few times, so it's no wonder you've not heard of it. After all, it's a fusion of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Black Luster Soldier, which are two rare cards. Kaiba owns the only Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon card, and from what I've heard, Yugi is one of a select few owners of the Black Luster Soldier. Unlike my Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning, this one is a ritual monster and is a bit harder to summon, and has no effects. Still, for Yugi to summon that monster, it's amazing."

"I have a feeling Seto is about to lose this duel." Marie boasted with a smile.

Raising his fist in the air, Joey added "Without a doubt, the rich boy is going down!"

The group only chuckled at him while on the field, the scene was intense. Kaiba glared at the monster and his jaws was clenched.

Venomously, he shouted "I will not be made a fool of Yugi Moto!"

"I'm not intending to, Kaiba, but this duel is over." Yugi replied with a sad smile. Pointing at the dragon, he called out "Dragon Master Knight, finish this duel be obliterating his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon with Dragon Saber Blast!"

Letting out a battle cry once more, the warrior aimed his sword at the three headed dragon across the field. Blinding white light began to fill the blade while the three headed dragon he stood on roared loudly and opened all three sets of jaws. At the same time, the three heads launched a powerful set of streams of white energy while the warrior fired a stream of white energy from his own sword. The four streams pulled together into a massive twisting stream of energy heading straight for the mighty three headed dragon across the field.

"Do you take me for a fool Yugi! I was prepared for such an action! I activate the trap Karma Cut! With this, I must discard a card from my hand, and now I can remove a monster from play on your field! Farewell to your last chance to win!" Kaiba declared with a bit of a chuckle.

Upon Kaiba placing the card into his Graveyard Slot, the trap that had risen up glowed to life and shot a beam of white light out at the oncoming attack. The attack was stopped in it's tracks and obliterated. The remaining beam of white light shot forward and struck the three headed dragon with the black armored warrior on it's back. Roaring loudly, the three headed dragon shattered along with the black armored warrior, leaving only the purple robed mage and purple armored warrior behind.

Growling lowly, Yugi switched the two remaining cards on his Duel Disk to horizontal positions, saying "I shift my monsters to defense and end." (Yugi 75, Seto 500)

Smirking at his advantage, Kaiba drew and bellowed out "Destroy that pathetic Buster Blader with Neutron Blast!"

Roaring loudly, the three headed dragon opened each set of jaws and took aim. White energy began sizzling at the edges of each of their mouths while more power began to build up. At long last, each head roared loudly and shot a beam of hot white energy at the purple warrior.

Holding out his hand, Yugi cried out "I'm not letting my Buster Blader go away just yet! I activate the spell Command Silencer, which negates your attack and allows me to draw a card at the same time."

Appearing before the purple armored warrior was a totem pole with multiple animal head carvings on it. Raising a set of wooden wings on it's side, the totem pole sent out a set of sound waves, which instantly nullified the oncoming blast. With the blast gone, Yugi drew a card and quietly waited on Kaiba to finish.

"Fine Yugi, have it your way! I end my move for now with a face down card." (Yugi 75, Seto 500)

Drawing his next card, Yugi showed it at long last. "I play the equip spell card called Magic Formulas, and equip it to my Dark Magician. This raises his attack points by 700 (2500 + 700 3200/2100)."

Glowing with a bright white light, the purple armored mage slightly smirked while the glow slowly faded away.

"Why bother Yugi? That mage doesn't have the strength to beat me." Kaiba grunted with irritation.

Nodding, Yugi replied "True, but you'll see soon enough. I end my turn." (Yugi 75, Seto 500)

Grabbing a new card, Kaiba called out "It's over for that weakling mage! Destroy it with Neutron Blast!"

Letting out a massive roar from each of it's three heads, the three headed dragon opened their jaws and shoot out a beam of searing white energy. The three beams combined into one twisting energy beam and struck the purple mage, who cried out in great pain before shattering.

Covering his face from the explosion, Yugi smirked and said "It pains me to say this Kaiba, but thank you. By destroying my Dark Magician, you destroyed his equip spell. When it goes to the Graveyard, I gain a 1000 life points."

"No matter, because you're finished this turn!" Kaiba bellowed. "I activate my face down card, De-Fusion, but I chain it with Burial from a Different Dimension! By doing this, I can now return my three Blue-Eyes White Dragons from my removed from play pile. Next, since I played De-Fusion, I can split apart my fusion monster and bring out all three Blue-Eyes White Dragons (3000/2500) from my Graveyard!"

Roaring softly, the three headed dragon glowed brightly for a moment and began swirling in a circle. From the swirling, the dragon vanished, but three other white metallic dragons appeared in it's place. Each dragon let out a soft roar and glared at Yugi, who gasped in shock.

"Game over Yugi. It's been fun, but you're done with this duel. Attack his pathetic Buster Blader now Blue-Eyes White Dragon with White Lightning!"

Letting out a massive roar, the first of the three dragons fired a blast of hot white energy at the purple armored warrior. The blast tore through the warrior easily, making him howl in pain before vanishing from the field.

"It's over Yugi!" Kaiba screamed. "Second Blue-Eyes White Dragon, destroy him with White Lightning!"

"Not quite Kaiba! Go face down spell card, Flute of Summoning Kuriboh! This allows me to bring out my Winged Kuriboh (300/200) from my deck and put him onto the field in defense!" Yugi declared confidently.

Emerging onto the field with it's arms crossed was the small brown fur ball creature with purple eyes, white wings, and green hands and feet.

"My dragon will blow that fur ball away easily!" Kaiba snarled.

The white stream of lightning slammed into the little creature instantly, vaporizing it and leaving Yugi alone on his field.

Smirking at the loss of his monster, Yugi calmly said "Thank you for that Seto. With Winged Kuriboh in my Graveyard now, I take zero Battle Damage for the rest of my turn."

Glancing at his Graveyard Slot, he softly smiled and whispered "Thank you Winged Kuriboh. If not for you, I'd have lost here."

Appearing as a transparent image, the small brown fur ball creature with white wings closed it's eyes and let out a happy sounding "Kree" sound.

Grinding his teeth together, Kaiba grunted out "I end!" (Yugi 1075, Seto 500)
