"I activate Premature Burial!" Even though my Life Points went down to 7000, I was still smiling. "By paying 800 of my Life Points, I can summon one monster from my Graveyard in Attack Position! So come forth, my-"

"Hold it right there, hot shot! I activate Magic Jammer! By discarding one card from my hand, I can negate your card and destroy it!" I watched in horror as my card was destroyed, along with my hopes of winning this duel. Then I noticed something strage happen.

Bountiful Artemis began glowing very brightly. "What's going on?"

"That's just the ability of my Bountiful Artemis! When someone plays a Counter Trap Card, I draw one card!" A card appeared in Bountiful Artemis's hand, and he flung it at Namine, which she happily caught. "That ends your turn. And now my turn has begun. And along with it, so has begun the end of you..."

Namine drew. She chuckled. "Well, well. I think my monster has waited long enough to attack you. So let's get on with it! Bountiful Artemis, attack with Spinning Top of Destruction!! And this time, you've got nothing to protect you!"

Bountiful Artemis resumed its trademark spinning move and knocked me to the ground, as my Life Points went down to 5400. Then he jumped into the sky and started pounding into my stomach with its large top. I yelled at the top of my lungs. The pain was too much to bear. It was almost like I had been hit by a thousand jackhammers at once.

I slowly rose up, clutching my stomach as I did so. After a while, I moved my hands away from my stomach and resumed my original stance. "Is that all you got," I managed to force out of my throat.

"No, Yugi. This is just the beginning. Now I set one monster on the field and activate Monster Reincarnation. By discarding one card, I can bring a Monster card back to my hand. And I choose...Neo-Parshath, the Sky Paladin (2300/2000)!"

I gulped. Great. Now she had a powerful monster in her hand that she could potentially summon next turn. "Now I end my turn."

I drew my card, hoping it would be a good one. "I draw." I closed my eyes as I held the card face-up in front me. I wanted more than anything for the heart of the cards to guide me one last time. Slowly, I opened my eyes...


Envoy of the Beginning: Victory leads to Chaos

...and what I drew made me fill up with glee. I could not contain my excitment as the card quivered in my hand. It was Graceful Charity! Now everything was set in place! Finally, the bitch would pay for what she had done, and revenge would be mine. She wanted to mock me? Well, I'll show her! I'll show her so bad that's she'll hurt and cry to mama!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Sweat began to roll down my face, but I could care less. All that mattered was the luscious taste of revenge pouring down my throat, urging me to play the deadly card in my hand...

"Hello?! Sometime today, Mr. Thinker who Wets His Bed A Lot?!" Go ahead, mock me all you want. I'll get you so bad, Namine. I thought.

"I activate Graceful Charity!" A shining angel appeared behind me, floating with angel wings. "This card allows me to draw three cards, but only when I discard two! Take this!"

I triumphantly raised my hand in the air, and the angel gave me three cards. I discarded Watapon and Dark Magician from my hand by giving them to her. Before she dissapeared into my Graveyard, however, there was one signal she gave me that still haunts me to this very day...

She stared at me with an ominous glare and whispered to me, "You will pay, Yugi Muto. You will pay for your sins..."

I should have surrendered right then and there. I shouldn't have discarded my favorite card just to defeat Namine. But the strange thing about life is that the best lessons you learn are the ones that are learnt the hard way. Oh, how could I have been such a fool to miss something like that? Even after all I had been through, I still di-

But I didn't heed her advice. Biggest. Mistake. Of. My. Life. Theoretically, I should be in the sanitarium for talking to holograms. But this is a children's card game played in a magical castle that takes people's memories; what are you gonna do?

I looked at the three cards I had been given. My smirk grew even wider, and I could have sworn I felt drool trickling down my mouth. "Now for something really special, Namine," I declared. "Remember how you said this was an Envoy Duel, and how my monster would no longer serve me?"

Namine merely chucked. "I do not recall those exact words, but I got the jist of what you were saying. What about it?"

I began to laugh manaically. "Well, wouldn't it be a coincidence if the very monster you accused of no longer serving me AND the one you stole from me and gave back were the same monster? And..." As I said this, I began to hold the card in the sky, "wouldn't it be a bigger coincidence if that monster was the same one I'm going to play right now??!!!"

Namine's smirk vanished as quickly the sanity of the protagonist of "The Yellow Wallpaper" did when she locked the door on her husband. "No...you couldn't possibly-"

"But I am!! I remove my worthless Watapon and Dark Magician to summon... BLACK LUSTER SOLDIER, ENVOY OF THE BEGINNING (3000/2500)!!!"

The silhouettes of the aforementioned monsters appeared on the field. Dark Magician in particular seemed very sad, dissapointed, and angry at the same time, and when he looked at me, all he could do was cry silently.

But I was so blind that I did not see the tears in his eyes. All I saw was victory and Namine. Namine. Victory. Chaos. No hope.

He dissapeared, and so did Watapon. Then, a yellow portal appeared in the ceiling above us. Lightning emerged from the sky, but did not strike either of us. Wind currents flew around us, but did not break our hard stances.

Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning came from the portal, sword in one hand, shield in the other. His golden armor almost blinded me with its shine, and there was a stern look of rage and anger in his eyes. Perfect. Perfect. Just perfect.

Namine began to quiver in her shoes, and nearly fell to her feet. "I..impossible. You can't play that card! You can't! You're not in control here! I am!"

I shook my head. "Don't doubt the heart of the cards!" I said in the most vain, irritable tone I could think of. "But don't hold your breath. I won't fall for any of your traps. I end my turn by playing Pot of Greed to draw two cards!" I did that. "Now I play 3 cards face down, and activate Black Pendant to increase my monster's ATK and DEF by 500!" BLS Envoy's Attack and Defense rose to 3500 and 3000 respectfully. "Your move."

Namine scowled and drew. "You may have the power of the Envoy, but I have an even greater power. The land of the fairies and the Archlord's land is perfect for a sinner like you, and I have the perfect monster to go with it! Now I activate the field spell The Sanctuary in the Sky!"

The white hallways of Castle Oblivion were quickly replaced with a floating castle in the sky. We were somehow standing on a floating cloud underneath the castle, until I realized that were still on solid ground; this was just a hologram.

But Namine wasn't done. "Now I sacrifice Bountiful Artemis and my face down monster to summon Neo-Parshath, the Sky Paladin!"

Her top monster and face down monster (revealed to be another Cyberdark Horn) vanished, but her new monster didn't appear out of thin air. Stunned, I asked her, "So where is this great monster of yours, huh?"

"I would watch your words if I were you! Look at the castle right behind me!" The doors slowly opened, and a burst of light came out of it. Both me and BLS Envoy covered our eyes, and when we opened them, I saw a monster with much armor, surrounded by rings and floating wings, carrying a spear in its right hand and a spear in its left.

"And guess what? He gains Attack Points equal to the difference between our Life Points when The Sanctuary in the Sky is on the field! So now his Attack Points are 6300!!"

But I wasn't scared. I began to laugh, in fact. My evil plan was coming along perfectly. "Not so fast! You fell into my trap! I play Ring of Destruction and Barrel Behind the Door!"

At once, a giant ring with bombs attacked to it latched itself on the Sky Paladin's neck. "With this bomb attached to your little fairy, he gets destroyed and we both lose life points equal to its Attack Points! But I won't be losing any points!"

A barrel appeared on the field, and I ducked behind it. "With this Counter Trap Card, you take the effect damage I would have taken from a card effect! Say goodbye, Namine!!"

Neo-Parshath exploded at once, and the explosion almost reached Namine when...

...the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon showed up under Namine's feet, raising her up to the height of the Sanctuary.

"WHAT?!" I could not believe it! The very monster that had defeated me long ago was in Namine's posession? More importantly, what was he doing there?

"Suprised, are you? That't the effect of my Fusion Guard Trap Card. It negated the damage of your Barrel and sent my BEUD to the Graveyard." The dragon growled at me in amusement. "You've been a good boy, Blue-Eyes." SHe stroked his middle head lovingly. The dragon then disappeared, allowing Namine to float down to the ground unharmed. "I love him so much..."

She giggled and regained her posture. "Of course, I still lost the original 6300 points, so now I only have 3100 LP. I end my turn."

This was it. The final chapter. The turn that would end this nonsense forever.

Or so I thought.

I drew my card and ordered my attack. "Now my trusted monster!! Destiny's eyes are gazing down upon the field. Your sword will bring everlasting justice to the wrongdoers, and your shield will protect the innocent from harm of this cruel, unforgiving witch. Attack with Sword of Light! Destroy Namine and the rest of her Life Points!!"

And that, my friend, was the last thing I completely remember before my mind went pitch black, and I was sent on a journey unlike any other...
