The Fall of Ra: Between Friends
A/N: The Duel between Yugi and Joey for the Winged Dragon of Ra!
Seto Kaiba had lost Obelisk, the Tormentor to Yugi, meaning he'd been disqualified from his own tournament. And worse was that he now had to watch the Duel between his greatest rival and one of his friends that he despised. And while Yugi possessed both Obelisk and Slifer, Joey had the Winged Dragon of Ra, which was vastly stronger than either one combined, which would've made the Duel all the more challenging. He'd studied Joey's Deck and saw that it revolved mostly around luck, since he relied a lot on luck in order to win each match.
"I hope you're well-rested, Joey," Yami Yugi told Joey. "This Duel is one I've been looking forward to."
"Oh, I'm rested, Yuge," Joey responded. "I hope you're looking forward to this Duel."
"I'll let you make the first move."
"Then, for my first move, I'll lay a card face-down, and one monster face-down in defense mode."
On the field, two cards appeared.
"I'll lay two cards face-down," went Yugi, placing two cards into the slots of his Duel Disk, causing their holographic counterparts to manifest on the field, "and I summon Beta, the Magnet Warrior in attack mode."
Then, a yellow creature with magnets appeared on the field.
"Attack his face-down monster!" Yugi ordered, and the Magnet Warrior attacked the card, exposing it as a humanoid dressed in blue and purple; it was Joey's Battle Warrior, a weak monster.
Because it was defense mode, Joey's Life Points were unaffected by the battle damage.
Joey drew a new card from his Deck and set a new card from his hand onto the field, followed by a new monster, the very same monster that had won him his last Duel, Gearfried, the Iron Knight.
"Attack his Magnet Warrior!" He ordered his monster, and Gearfried charged towards Beta.
"Nice try, but you activated my Trap Card! Mirror Force!"
One of Yami Yugi's face-down cards flipped up and was triggered.
"Now, your Iron Knight will be destroyed!"
"Sorry, Yuge, but I anticipated you had a Trap Card, so I had this on the field! Seven Tools of the Bandit! It may cost me a thousand points, but your Mirror Force is negated!"
Joey's Life Points dropped from four-thousand to three-thousand, and Yugi's Trap Card disappeared from the field. Then Gearfried attacked Beta and destroyed it, reducing Yugi's Life Points by one-hundred points and leaving him without a monster.
"Impressive," Yugi praised, and then flipped his other card, revealing it to be a Trap Card with a picture of a winged nurse. "Numinous Healer, to increase my Life Points by one-thousand points."
Now Yugi's Life Points were forty-nine-hundred instead of thirty-nine-hundred. He drew a new card and summoned a new monster in the form of Queen's Knight in defense mode, adding a card face-down afterward.
Joey drew his next card and summoned Panther Warrior to the field in attack mode. And then set a new card face-down.
He must be trying to gather enough monster in order to summon the Winged Dragon of Ra, Yugi suspected, since either of Joey's monsters could've attacked and destroyed his Queen's Knight. But not if I stop him first.
He drew a new card and placed it face-down.
"Next is a monster in defense mode."
He's trying to tempt me into attacking his defensive monsters, Joey suspected, looking at his hand of cards. He must think I'm trying to summon the Winged Dragon of Ra. That's what he thinks.
He drew a new card and then expressed, "I sacrifice my Panther Warrior to summon Jinzo!"
Panther Warrior atomized off the field a new creature appeared, looking like a deformed, humanoid with its face covered by a mask. This was Jinzo, and with his appearance on the field, all of Yugi's Trap Cards were dealt with.
The card Yugi had on the field was then destroyed, leaving his defensive monsters vulnerable.
"I'm familiar with your Queen's Knight, Yuge, which is why it's on my attack list first," Joey told him. "Gearfried, attack his Queen's Knight!"
The armored warrior attacked the female monster and reduced her to holographic atoms.
"Next is your face-down monster! Attack, Jinzo!"
The humanoid attacked his face-down card and flipped it over, revealing that it was Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts. This left Yugi without any monsters on the field.
"It's your move, Yuge," Joey told him.
Now Yugi had to rethink he strategy with the cards he had in his hand. He had Summoned Skull, but no monsters weak enough to summon it. But he wasn't going to give up just yet. He put his faith in his next draw.
Heart of the Cards, guide me, he put his faith in his Deck as he drew his next card.
