Hey gang! So, life for me is just as fun as ever. I finally finished my project at work this week, at long last, after many angered thoughts over the guy who had me change the code, but it's done regardless. Our company's owners also came down Wednesday, so I lost pretty much a day of work, but not big deal to me. We also met the House of Representative that got us our jobs here in WV the same day. Her name is Shelly Moore Capito, and I'm quite thankful she did get the funding for the place where I work. It's been loads of fun there. She seemed nice enough. Other than that, life has been just about as normal as ever, and busy, lol. Oh well, that happens.
Writing wise, I'm trying to find time to continue work on these chapters, but time gets harder and harder to find anymore. Still, my goal is to finish this story within the next month or two. I'm thinking probably early next month, it may end. That is a big maybe, but we'll see I suppose. My other writing hasn't been moving much either, with me writing a paragraph here and there.
Moving along, it's review time!
Vyser Dragon: It's all good about not reviewing. I understand, people have lives and can't read or review all the time, so don't worry about it. Believe it or not, I have the same trouble at times, lol. Glad you like the Synchro monsters, and how I've done this duel thus far. Sorry to crush your dreams, but there is not going to be a Yugioh 5d's storyline. Once this story ends, that's the end of the line for the Illidan and Marie series. I have toyed with an idea to move past it, but alas, I don't think I will. We'll see though. Thank you for your review!
The Rainwalker: Yep, you spelled it right, hehe. Ah, so you read a lot and critique, which is always good. Cool about aspiring to write. It's always good to reach for dreams. Lol, it's all good about the relaxed college skills. I know mine have, though I only went to school for Computer Science and didn't have to go too far into English classes. Like only 3 levels or so, which was great, because my skills at English suck, lol. I like tough comments actually, it helps me in fixing any flaws I have developed, or at least work on fixing them. Heh, family friendly language is good, though I don't mind. I tend to have kept all of my Yugioh stories within friendliness levels, I guess due that was the way the English translations were. Glad to hear you've read since the beginning of the series. Illidan and Marie are both very interesting, with the personalities somewhat changing over the course of the series. Thanks about the original cards. All I can say is I tried with them, lol. I try to keep the story moving along at a reasonable pace, plot wise, and posting wise. Yeah, Mai and Joey belonged together, it was just meant to be. Most of the pairings you have sound good, though Seto and Serenity is a bit interesting, and who is Miho btw? Lol, nice comment on how Gozaburo is, hehe. But yeah, Gozaburo doesn't know when to just stay in the grave, and he is pressing the others pretty hard. You know, you're right, there are no really handicapped duelists within Yugioh. Serenity was blind, but she could see after a while. Hmm, that would be interesting to have someone with some kind of handicap dueling. Lol, I'm actually a West Virginian, but close enough, hehe. Thanks for the review, I really appreciated it!
Okami Princess: True, Gozaburo using Stardust Dragon seems so wrong on many levels, but it happened. Don't know much about 5d's thoughts on how the cards are used, but oh well. Unpredictability is my middle name, lol. Actually, it's Andrew, but close enough. Thanks for the review!
Supreme-Chaos-Angel: LOL! So true, Mirage Ruler is over powered, but it saved Gozaburo's bacon. It was played by Yugi in the show during his duel with Yami, though they associated a cost of 1000 life points, but when I found the card, it had no cost, so I don't know who's right. Jaden is about the only one able to get to Gozaburo's life points, mostly due to direct attacks. Still, the others are hanging in there with him. I'm sure they'll take up the offensive soon enough. True, he does owe that much to Yubel. Yeah, I thought about the 600 points going to everyone, but I messed it up and chose one person. My bad on that one. Heh, actually, I didn't make the card either, but I may have messed up the effect that ardee wanted for it, lol. Thanks for the review!
Well, that's it for the reviews. Thank you, all four of you, for your reviews. I really appreciated them. I know I say that every week, but I really mean it. Without reviews, I can't gauge how this story is doing. It helps in me fixing errors, and knowing where the story should head to. And to any who haven't reviews, I encourage you to. I really enjoy reading them and responding, no matter what you say.
At any rate, I need to run. I have a birthday dinner to get to (my dad's). I hope you all like this new chapter. Till next time, enjoy!

Chapter 51
Snapping off a new card, Seto examined his card momentarily before crying out in pain from the blast of black energy smacking him in the chest. Cringing lightly, he glared at his step father before turning the card he'd drawn towards his step father, saying "I activate the spell Pot of Greed, allowing me to pick up two more cards."
Drawing two cards, the duelist in the white trench coat smirked and slapped a card to his Duel Disk. "I summon 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 the duelist in a white trench coat was the most shocking thing of all though.
"I activate Kaibaman's special ability, allowing me to sacrifice him to summon my mightiest monster! Rise up Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)!"
With the human warrior vanishing, a new white dragon with metallic looking scales appeared onto the field. Releasing a mighty roar, the dragon turned all of it's anger towards the black version of itself.
"It's time I showed you what it means to disrespect my Blue-Eyes, Gozaburo!" Seto yelled out with fire in his eyes. "Blue-Eyes, annihilate his weakling Stardust Dragon with White Lightning!"
Again roaring loudly, the white metallic dragon opened it's maw, revealing crackling light blue energy. Without hesitation, the dragon unleashed a beam of light blue energy that easily struck the weaker white dragon across the field, causing it to howl in pain before exploding.
"And now thanks to your own sick field spell, you take damage for losing your dragon!"
Thunder boomed overhead of the duel before a bolt of lightning poured out of the sky and struck the robed duelist, who cried out in pain and took an unsteady step backwards, but managed to keep from falling.
"I end my move." (Jaden = 8100, Seto = 2600, Marie = 7100, Yugi = 8600, Illidan = 4600; Gozaburo = 21100)
"Nicely done, Seto." Marie warmly congratulated. Steeling her eyes, she drew her card and readied herself for the incoming blast of black energy. The blast made her cringe in pain, but she managed to hide most of it.
"To start things off, Dancing Fairy grants me an additional 1000 life points. Then there is Pikeru, who grants me an additional 400 life points per a monster on my field. Right now, I only have two, so I gain 800 life points."
Selecting a card from her hand, the female duelist gently placed it onto her Duel Disk, saying "In the meantime, I set this monster. That's it for me." (Jaden = 8100, Seto = 2600, Marie = 8500, Yugi = 8600, Illidan = 4600; Gozaburo = 21500)
Nodding, Yugi prepared to draw a new card, but stopped. Pointing at his face down card, he calmly said "Before I start, I activate my trap card, Stronghold the Moving Fortress. This trap is not only a trap card, but a monster (0/2000), which is automatically special summoned to my field in defense upon being played."
Rising up out of the ground with steam shooting out of a small set of smoke stacks on it's left shoulder was a dull gray metal machine creature with numerous gears covering it's body, a single gear for an eye, three large empty slots where gears apparently went, and a gear in each hand. The creature immediately took up a kneeling stance and crossed it's arms.
Drawing his card, the spike haired duelist allowed the blast of black energy to strike his body, but not before cringing slightly. Gathering himself up, he firmly said "I summon Green Gadget (1400/600) in defense mode."
Forming onto the field immediately was a green machine creature with a single gear in it's mid body, with gears also forming onto it's shoulders. The creature had seemingly only shoulders and a head with a single eye, green feet, and two small green fists. Fully on the field, the creature took up a kneeling stance.
"Now I've completed my Gadget combo."
"What are you babbling about?" Gozaburo grumbled. "The only thing you've done from what I can see if summon four weaklings."
Smirking, the spike haired duelist smartly replied "We'll see. In the meantime, I'm switching Stronghold into attack mode."
Standing up, the large machine creature took up an offensive stance before the two smoke stack on it's back began pouring out steam.
"Now Stronghold, attack his Demoness Joan with Steel Gear Crush!"
"Wait, you're attacking me with a monster that has zero attack points!?" Gozaburo declared in shock.
Not answering, the spike haired duelist watched as the large machine creature took a few steps forward and drew back it's right arm. Clenching it's right hand into a fist, the machine creature launched it's right fist forward at the sneering demoness.
Before the attack could connect, the red, yellow, and green gadget creatures vanished, only to reappear in the slots on the large machine creature's chest. Without warning, the gears on the machine monster began rapidly spinning, sending more power to it's fist. The creature easily struck the female demon, crushing her instantly and causing smoke to fill the field. Lightning immediately struck the robed duelist, causing him to scream out in pain and fall to one knee again.
Panting lightly, the robed duelist ground out "How did your junk heap beat my Joan!?"
"That's kind of easy to explain." Yugi smartly remarked. "Whenever Red, Yellow, and Green Gadgets are all on the field, Stronghold's attack points increase to 3000 (0 + 3000 = 3000/2000). That's why he beat your weaker Demoness Joan."
Placing a card into an empty Spell/Trap Slot, the spike haired duelist added "I'll place a face down card. That's all for me." (Jaden = 8100, Seto = 2600, Marie = 8500, Yugi = 8200, Illidan = 4600; Gozaburo = 18900)
Wordlessly drawing a card, Illidan was more than ready when the blast of black energy struck him in the chest. Shrugging it off, he eyed his card for a moment before grabbing the horizontal monster card on his Duel Disk and flipped it over and turning it vertical.
"I'll start things off by Flip Summoning my Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive (1400/1000)."
Materializing onto the field was a black stream engine with black coal smoke pouring out of it's chimney. It had a strange, evil looking face painted on the front of it, with fangs poking out of it's mouth and an evil set of eyes.
"When flipped, I can automatically draw one additional card."
Picking up a new card, the brown haired duelist slightly smirked, saying "I sacrifice Dekoichi to summon my Armed Dragon LV5 (2400/1700)!"
Vanishing from the field in a flash, the black locomotive disappeared. Taking it's place was a large dark orange skin dragon with dull grey armor covering it's body, stubby wings, a tail that had a spiked mace ball on it's tip, and clawed hands covered by metal gloves. The dragon let out a small roar in an attempt to instill fear into it's enemy, but failed miserably.
"Why bother summoning that wretched creature? It's too weak to fight my Blue-Eyes Black Dragon." Gozaburo pointedly remarked.
Nodding, Illidan smirked, replying with "True, but who said I was done? You see, I didn't summon it to beat your dragon. I summoned it so I could place Dekoichi into my Graveyard, giving me exactly what I need to take that dragon down."
"Wait, you mean…" the robed duelist began, only to be interrupted by the brown haired duelist, who said "That's right, I am saying that I wanted Dekoichi in my Graveyard so I could remove him, along with my Mirage Dragon. I put Mirage Dragon in there at the same time as I placed my stronger version of Horus. Now I remove from play both Mirage Dragon and Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive in order to call to my field Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning (3000/2500)!"
A slight shimmer appeared on the field and from it came a warrior with black ebony shiny armor with a mixture of gold trim, as well as a few blotches of red, mostly around his helmet. In his right hand was a powerful bronze colored sword, and in his left was a strong shield with black and gold coloring. On his shoulders were two golden backward sweeping spikes. His face had a light shade of green. The helmet that protected his head had three flowing spikes pointing behind him, and coming out from under it in the back was a braid of brown hair.
Growling lightly at the sight of the black armored warrior, the robed duelist ground out "Him…"
"That's right, him." Illidan firmly confirmed. "I activate the effect of Black Luster Soldier! By not attacking, he can remove from play one monster on the field, and my choice is obviously your Blue-Eyes Black Dragon!"
Pushing his shield forward slightly, the warrior's shield began glowing with a brilliant white glow. Without warning, a blast of white energy was released from the shield and slammed into the black dragon, making it roar out in pain before shattering into nothingness.
"Now that nothing is in your way Armed Dragon, direct attack with Infernal Rage!"
Stamping across the field with it's two arms spinning rapidly, the dragon slashed the robed duelist across the chest, causing him to scream out in pain before falling to one knee.
Smirking at the struggling duelist, Illidan firmly said "Looks like that knocked you down a few pegs. I end my move." (Jaden = 8100, Seto = 2600, Marie = 8500, Yugi = 8200, Illidan = 4200; Gozaburo = 16900)
Loudly snarling, Gozaburo roared "YOU WILL NOT MAKE A FOOL OF ME!"
With his words said, the robed duelist drew his card, causing five blasts of black energy to be launched. The blasts impacted each of the five duelists, making a few cry out in pain.
"Thanks to Blitz Renewal, I gain points equal to all the destruction of my spell card! And now, I summon Changeling (0/0), allowing me to play the effect of Tuner Calling. With it, I shall select a new Tuner Type monster!"
While the bronze colored orb of ooze appeared onto the field, the robed duelist began searching through his deck. After a moment, he selected a card and slapped it onto his Duel Disk. In an enraged voice, he said "I summon Krebons (1200/400)!"
Yellow, transparent cubes flickered about the area all at once, while green holographic one's and zero's appeared and did the same. Some began forming pieces of a blue and yellow armored body, and cylinder-shaped head. Sinister, green computer eyes flashed across the black visor that covered the creature's face, while golden and blue patterns ran up the rest of the creature's helmet. Yellow teeth shot an equally dastardly smirk. The feet were covered in thin, sock like hoppers, and white and blue gloves with golden fingers were on the creature's arms.
"With that, I'll use Changeling's effect and transform into Horus the Black Flamed Dragon LV6!"
Morphing instantly, the bronze colored ooze began transforming into the shape of the eagle like silver dragon.
"And now, I begin a Synchro Summon, so I merge Krebons and Horus, to create Red Dragon Archfiend (3000/2000)!"
Both monsters instantly transformed into a pair of glowing orbs and suddenly began swirling together, creating a blinding white light. The light soon died down, revealing a black and dark red dragon that stood on two legs, with a sharp blade on it's tail, clawed hands and feet, large muscular legs and arms, a pair of dark red skin wings with two spikes at the top of each wing, an elongated neck, and three horns on it's head with one sticking up and two curved ones with one on each side, and glowing red eyes.
"Next, I play Pot of Greed, allowing me to pick up two cards."
Drawing his two cards, the robed duelist smirked at them and turned one of the cards at his opponent, saying "I activate the spell Lightning Vortex. Thanks to this spell, I send one card to my Graveyard and destroy all face up monsters on your fields."
Upon the robed duelist placing his chosen card into his Graveyard Slot, bolts of lightning rained down from the sky and slammed into all of the creatures on the field, shattering each and every last one before the five duelists and leaving a cloud of smoke covering the field.
"Damn, we're all wide open!" Seto growled in frustration.
Casting a quick glance at his friend, Illidan firmly said "Don't panic."
"We're sitting ducks out here!" Jaden yelled. "That's more than enough reason to panic."
"I hate to interrupt this conversation, but my dragon has a need to devour one of you. For you see, Seto, you are wide open." Gozaburo pointedly declared.
Seeing Seto clench his hands tightly, the robed duelist firmly said "Finish him now, Red Dragon Archfiend, with Infernal Fireball. Farewell, step son."
Roaring loudly, the black and red dragon opened it's jaws wide and spat out a devilishly red fireball at the duelist in a white trench coat. Staring at the incoming attack, the duelist couldn't help but hang his head in defeat.
"Not so fast, Gozaburo!" Jaden declared. "I reveal my trap, Negate Attack! This not only stops your attack, but ends your Battle Phase!"
Watching the attack vanish, the robed duelist shrugged and slid one of two remaining cards he held into an empty Spell/Trap Slot, saying "No matter, I end my turn, meaning Changeling returns to my hand." (Jaden = 7700, Seto = 2200, Marie = 8100, Yugi = 7800, Illidan = 3800; Gozaburo = 18900)
Drawing his new card, the young duelist had to quickly shield his body from the incoming blast of black energy. Gritting his teeth, Jaden looked at his new card and calmly said "I start out by summoning Card Trooper (400/400) in defense mode."
Appearing onto the field in sparkling light was a tank like robot with a pair of red blast arms, a red round cylinder chest, a blue tank bottom, and a glass head that housed many circuits. Upon fully appearing, the robot crossed it's arms.
"Now I play his special ability. By sending the top cards on my deck to my Graveyard, I can increase Card Trooper's attack points by 500 per a card for the duration of this turn. At max, I can send three, so I send the top three to my Graveyard, raising his points by 1500 (400 + 500 * 3 = 1900/400)."
While the young duelist picked up the top three cards from his deck, the small robot creature's body glowed to life as it's strength increased.
"That was pointless." Gozaburo remarked.
"Maybe so, but you'll see the significance soon enough. Next up, I play the spell Monster Reincarnation! With this, I toss out one card from my hand and return another to my hand. I send Necro Guardna to the Grave to return Elemental Hero Neos to my hand."
Placing the lone card into his Graveyard Slot, the young duelist watched it get sucked in and the slot slowly push out the monster card. Adding it back to his hand, he coolly said "I'm done, meaning Card Trooper's points go back down (400/400)." (Jaden = 7300, Seto = 2200, Marie = 8100, Yugi = 7800, Illidan = 3800; Gozaburo = 19300)
Glaring at his step father, the duelist in the white trench coat drew his next card, causing a blast of black energy to strike him in the chest. Without warning, the proud duelist sank to one knee while panting lightly. Rising up quickly, he ground out "I will not lose to you!"
"Not by the looks of this duel, Seto." Gozaburo smugly countered.
Grinding his teeth together, Seto glanced at his card and firmly said "I activate the spell Card of Demise, allowing me to draw till I hold five cards! But in five of my Standby Phases, I must discard my entire hand."
Snapping off five new cards, the duelist in the white trench coat eyed his cards before selecting one and slapping it to his Duel Disk, saying "I summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands (1400/1000)."
A slimy silver looking creature with thousands and thousands of hands sprouted out everywhere throughout it's body appeared onto the field with a small grunt.
"When summoned, Manju's effect kicks off. He lends me a hand and allows me to transfer any Ritual Spell or Monster from my deck to my hand. My choice is a Ritual Spell, more specifically White Dragon Ritual!"
Pulling his deck out and sifting through it, the duelist in the white trench coat found the desired card and added it to his hand. Shuffling his deck, he returned it to it's slot and slightly smirked.
"I activate the spell White Dragon Ritual, and in order to use it, I must sacrifice a monster or monsters equaling level four. Luckily for me, Manju fits the bill, seeing how he's a level four monster. With his sacrifice, I summon Paladin of White Dragon (1900/1200)!"
A white dragon with large golden eyes and large warrior on it's back with white armor, cape, and a powerful sword and shield then appeared on the field. The warrior had greenish skin, but his face was hidden by a helmet that covered all but his chin and mouth.
"Don't get too used to him, for I activate his special ability! By sacrificing him, I can special summon from my deck my third Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)!"
The warrior on the dragon's back instantly shattered, leaving the dragon alone. The dragon's eyes flashed blue and the smaller dragon instantly began to grow in age till it was much larger. It's wings spread wide, arm's increasing in size, along with it's feet. The new dragon was a familiar creature, with white metallic skin, powerful wings, sharp clawed hands and feet, and a mighty head. Fully on the field at last, the dragon released a mighty roar, seemingly challenging the dragon across the field to fight with it.
"I'm far from done, for I activate the spell Dragon's Mirror! By playing this, I can remove from play monsters in my Graveyard and field in order to summon a Dragon Type Fusion monster! I remove the two Blue-Eyes in my Graveyard, along with the one on the field, to form Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800)!"
Materializing onto the field on each side of the white metallic dragon were two more metallic white dragons. All three let out a massive roar as a mirror formed behind the three. The mirror shot out a brilliant white light, engulfing the three and hiding them from view of the group. Soon enough, the light died down, revealing a much larger white metallic looking dragon with three heads, each with some kind of symbol on their foreheads. The three heads shared one body, which had a massive set of wings, powerful clawed hands and feet, and a massive tail. Each head let out a massive roar, shaking the very ground the duelists stood on.
Letting out a maniacal laugh, Seto pointed an accusing finger at his step father, saying "You mocked and underestimated me all along during this duel, Gozaburo, and now it's time to pay the price! I will stop you once and for all, so prepare to experience a true living hell! Blue-Eyes, blast his freak show dragon to the Graveyard where it belongs with Neutron Blast!"
Roaring loudly, the three heads of the massive dragon drew themselves up into full length. All three heads of the dragon opened their maws, revealing a brilliant white light flaring out from within it's mouth. As one, the three heads released a stream of white energy, which merged into one single stream. The large stream went racing towards the weaker dragon, who stood it's ground.
Sneering, Gozaburo smugly called out "Nice try Seto, but I activate my trap card! Go Heart of the Earthbound!"
Instantly, the black and red dragon glowed with a dark red aura. The white stream continued onwards and slammed into the dragon, making it howl out in pain and caused a massive explosion, sending dust and debris flying into the air, clouding up the robed duelist's field. Bit by bit, the dust settled, revealing the black and red dragon still stood while it's master sat on one knee.
"What's going on!?" the duelist in the white trench coat demanded. "That dragon should be pixels by now, so how could it survive!?"
"It's simple, Seto, my boy." Gozaburo commented while standing back up. "My Heart of the Earthbound trap card saved my dragon by inflicting twice the Battle Damage to my life points."
Seeing his step son growl with irritation, the robed duelist smirked, saying "But there is more to it than that. When I take twice the damage, Twilight Corona's effect activates. Whenever my Battle Damage is doubled, Twilight Corona gains a Spell Counter for every 100 points of damage I took. Since I just lost 3000 life points by your attack, that means Twilight Corona gains 30 Spell Counters."
"But the fun doesn't stop there, for I activate the next effect of Twilight Corona. By removing Spell Counters from it, I can reduce your dragon's attack points by 100 points per a counter. That means your dragon loses 3000 attack points (4500 – 3000 = 1500/3800). There is more mind you, for the effect of Azure Corona kicks in, reducing your life points by the amount of attack points your dragon loses. This is the end Seto, so farewell."
Lifting, the cloth covering the rift flapped open and fired a blast straight at the white dragon. At the same time, the blue star fired a blast of black energy straight at the duelist wearing the white trench coat.
Before the blasts were halfway across the field, Jaden called out "Hold on one minute, I activate my face down card, De-Fusion! This spell now splits Seto's dragon apart into it's original Fusion Material monsters, meaning your spells have no target to use their effect any longer!"
Darkly chuckling while watching the white dragon begin glowing, Gozaburo smugly said "That was nice of you to save Seto's life points, but you forget, he loses his only monster. You helped him only survive for this turn alone."
"Not quite, Gozaburo." Seto spoke up in a smart tone. "I chain Jaden's card with a spell of my own, Burial from a Different Dimension! With this, I can return up to three monsters from my removed from play pile back to my Graveyard. The three I choose are my three Blue-Eyes White Dragons (3000/2500), and since I just did that, the effect of De-Fusion will now return my dragons to the field!"
Just as the pair of blasts was about to hit the large three headed white dragon, the dragon vanished, causing the blasts to smash into the ground harmlessly. Reappearing onto the field a moment later were three large white dragons, each roaring loudly upon fully appearing.
"You are delaying the inevitable!" Gozaburo roared.
"We'll see." Seto remarked. "I set one card and end my turn." (Jaden = 7300, Seto = 1800, Marie = 8100, Yugi = 7800, Illidan = 3800; Gozaburo = 16700)
Picking up a new card, Marie let out a soft cry of pain as her life points was drained by a blast of black energy. Fiercely glaring at the robed duelist, she eyed her card before sliding it into an empty Spell/Trap Slot. "I set this and end my turn." (Jaden = 7300, Seto = 1800, Marie = 7700, Yugi = 7800, Illidan = 3800; Gozaburo = 17100)
Drawing a new card, Yugi quickly readied himself for the incoming blast of black energy. The blast plowed into the spike haired duelist, who managed to keep from losing his footing. With light pants, he eyed his new card before placing the card onto his Duel Disk.
"I summon Big Shield Guardna (100/2600) in defense."
Forming instantly onto the field in a kneeling stance was a muscular man kneeling with incredibly long black hair, wearing a teal and purple shirt with no sleeves and orange pants. On the warrior's left arm was a large shield which he used to protect his body.
"I'm finished." (Jaden = 7300, Seto = 1800, Marie = 7700, Yugi = 7400, Illidan = 3800; Gozaburo = 17500)
Readying his body, Illidan drew his card, only to be slammed by a blast of black energy that drained away more of his life points. Recovering, he slapped the card in his hand onto his Duel Disk horizontally.
"Come on out Silent Magicican LV4 (1000/1000), in defense mode."
Appearing onto the field was a young, childlike mage dressed in white robes with an odd mage's hat and a scepter in hand. The small mage quickly fell into a kneeling position and crossed it's arms.
"I end." (Jaden = 7300, Seto = 1800, Marie = 7700, Yugi = 7400, Illidan = 3400; Gozaburo = 17900)
