Yami's LP: 6550
Shadi's LP: 8000
Shadi's hand & field:
No cards in his hand.
Blaze the Fire Knight-East Atk/3150 Def/2000 (effect)
Aqua Madoor Atk/1200 Def/2000 (no effect)
Attack and Receive x2-trap cards (face-down)
Yami's hand:
Black Luster Soldier (Ritual Monster)-Level: 8 Atk/3000 Def/2000 (no effect)
Call of the Hunted-Trap Card
Magician of Black Chaos (Ritual Monster)-Level: 8 Atk/2800 Def/2600 (no effect)
Yami's field:
No monsters on field.
Mirror Force-Trap Card (face-down)
Yami was doing alright, sure he had 6550 Life Points, no monsters on the field, one trap card, Shadi wasn't touch, had a powerful Knight on the Field. All right, you wouldn't say he was doing all right, but at least he was above 4000 Life Points.
"You might think you are not in any danger Pharaoh," said Shadi staring at him, "But sooner or later you will feel the pain. My move!"
Shadi drew his favorite card-Millennium Golem (Earth)-Level: 6 Rock Atk/2000 Def/2200.
"I now tribute my Aqua Madoor, for Millennium Golem! In attack mode," yelled Shadi sending his Aqua card to the graveyard and replacing it with a powerful monster. A huge Golem with one eye appeared with its hands reaching out to Yami.
Millennium Golem-Atk/2000 Def/2200
"Both my monsters," said Shadi ordering an attack, "Attack Yugi's Life Points now!"
"Not so fast Shadi," said Yami flipping his face-down card face-up, "You activated my trap card, Mirror Force! This card destroys all your monsters in attack mode and since both of your monsters are in attack mode, both of them will be destroyed!"
A barrier protected Yami from the two monsters and later on, Yami's Mirror Force destroyed them. Yami gave out a little smile at Shadi. Tea, Joey, Tristan, Duke, and Serenity gave out a cheer. Yami Bakura just sat on chair watching the duel; Pegasus gave out a smile and was drinking some wine. Marik, Odion, and Ishizu were still watching Yugi duel waiting to see what Yugi is going to do next.
"My move Shadi," said Yami drawing a card. He drew Gazelle The King of Mythical Beasts (earth)-Level: 4 Beast Atk/1500 Def/1200.
Gazelle The King of Mythical Beasts-Atk/1500 Def/1200
"I now play Gazelle in attack mode," said Yami placing the card on his duel disk. It showed a brown fur beast with black hair, horn on its head, and had sharp claws, "Now Gazelle, attack Shadi's Life points directly!"
Gazelle attacked Shadi's life points and Shadi had now 6500 life points, but then Yami lost 700 Life points all of sudden. Yami saw this and stared at Shadi.
"What happen? Why did I lose 700 life points," asked Yami staring at Shadi.
"Because of my trap card, Attack and Receive," yelled Shadi flipping his facedown trap card face-up, "This card can only be activated when my life points are being attacked. Since you attacked me, I may have lost 1500 of my life points, but since now you lost 700, you got 5850. But here's something special Pharaoh. I activate my second trap card, Attack and Receive! You lose 1000 of your life points."
Yami lost 1000 and hand now 4850. Yami looked at Shadi with a glare.
"How did I lose 1000," yelled Yami, "I thought you said I lose 700 when I attacked your life points!"
"True pharaoh, but I forgot to tell you that when I have another Attack and Receive trap card in my graveyard, you lose an addition 300. So that's 1000," explained Shadi.
"Arghhh. Then I set one card face-down and end my turn," said Yami.
Shadi's LP: 6500
"Finally," said Shadi. Shadi drew the magic card, Dark Hole-Spell card, "I set one card and end my turn."
Yami's LP: 4850
"Pretty fast," said Yami. Yami drew his next card, Berfomet (dark)-Level: 5 Fiend Atk/1400 Def/1800 (no effect) -(I know berfomet's effect so I'm going to pretend that Berfomet doesn't have an effect.)-
'Hey! All you need now is polymerization,' said Yugi appearing next to Yami, 'Were winning this duel Yami.'
Yami remained silent and looked at Shadi. Shadi had a calm face. He wasn't worried that he was losing his life points. It must be that facedown card. He wants him to attack.
'Uh. Earth to Yami. Anybody home,' asked Yugi. Yami snapped out of it and faced Yugi.
'Sorry Yugi. I'm just worried about that face-down card,' said Yami looking at the card on Shadi's side.
'Well we have to be careful then if that card is a trap,' said Yugi. Yugi disappeared back to the puzzle and Yami continued the duel.
"Gazelle! Attack Shadi's life points now," yelled Yami. Gazelle attacked Shadi and again lost 1500. He had 5000 life points and then Yami activated his facedown card, "I activate, Call of the Haunted! This is card allows me to bring back a monster, so I chose my Buster Blader!" A huge warrior carrying a sword appeared ready to slice.
Buster Blader-Atk/2600 Def/2300
"Buster Blader! Attack Shadi's life points now," again Yami ordered. Buster Blader was almost closed to Shadi's life points and Shadi activated his facedown card.
"I activate, Dark Hole," said Shadi. A dark hole appeared from the ground and sucked up Yami's two monsters and destroyed them. Yami gave out a glare to Shadi. Yami had two useless cards in his hands and no cards on the field. Good news, Shadi had nothing. NOTHING. No cards in his hands or field.
"I end my turn," said Yami.
"My move," said Shadi. Shadi drew his next card and drew the card he needed. Spell Card-Return of the Knight
Return of The Knight
(Spell Card)
Pay 1000 of your Life Points to special summon a card that has "Knight" in its name from your graveyard or that is removed from play. After one full turn, the selected card is removed from play and so is this card.
"I now play, Return of The Knight spell card," yelled Shadi showing it to Yami, "This card allows me to get any card from my graveyard or that is removed from play. I bet you know what I'm after. I bring back, Blaze! The Fire Knight of The East!"
A huge flame appeared and then a warrior was formed from the blaze and was holding a flaming sword in his left hand. Blaze has returned, but again, the good news, its attack power was back to its normal attack power.
Blaze-Atk/2450 Def/2000
"Did you forget my Knight gets 100 attack power for every card that is fire," asked Shadi.
Yami forgot about Blaze's effect and earn100 extra attack power boost.
Blaze-Atk/2550 Def/2000
"Blaze! Attack Yugi's life points now," ordered Shadi. The Knight charged at Yami and swung his blazing sword at Yami. Yami screamed in pain and was kneeling on the ground.
Yami's LP: 2300
This is bad. Yami has only 2300 life points left and Shadi has 5000 life points left. Shadi's LP was 2700 higher than Yami's. What could Yami do? All he could do is believe in his deck like he always does. As long as he believes in his deck, he will never lose. His friends were there to. To cheer for him and see him win this duel. Yami got back up and faced Shadi.
"I'm not going to lose Shadi. Not now," said Yami, "I saved the world many times, my friends were always there for me, I controlled the most powerful cards...I've been in worse duels. This will be a piece of cake to win."
"Really pharaoh," asked Shadi, "Last time I checked, you were losing this duel. So how would you call this piece of cake?"
"Here. My move," said Yami. Yami drew his next card and it was Graceful Charity-spell card, "Yes! This will help! I activate my spell card...Graceful Charity!"
Yami drew three new cards:
Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (earth)-Level: 8 (Rock/Effect) Atk/3500 Def/3850
Chaos Ritual of Dark Magic-Ritual Spell Card
Magician's Valkyria (dark)-Level: 4 (spellcaster/effect) Atk/1600 Def/1800
"I send Magician's Valkyria and Valkyrion the Magna Warrior to the graveyard," said Yami. Then I play my ritual card, Chaos Ritual of Dark Magic!"
Candles appeared and a circle with a star at the middle and darkness was covering the area.
"To summon Magician of Black Chaos, I need to give up a monster that has the same level as Magician of Black Chaos or greater," explained Yami, "Since I have Black Luster Soldier that has the same star level as Black Chaos, I can summon it. So I send Black Luster Soldier to the graveyard to bring out...Magician of Black Chaos!"
The circle star gave out a bright light and a magician with long black hair carrying a staff appeared from the circle star. His skin was like blue and was wearing a blacking spellcaster clothes.
Magician of Black Chaos-Atk/2800 Def/2600
"Your move Shadi," said Yami, "And remember what you said. Blaze is removed from play thanks to that spell card."
"I already know pharaoh," said Shadi. Shadi removed from play Blaze and drew his next card. Shadi drew an Aqua Madoor (water)-Level: 4 (spellcaster) Atk/1200 Def/2000
"I play a face-down monster in attack mode and end my turn," said Shadi putting the card on his duel disk.
Yami drew his next card Magician of Faith (light)-Level: 1 (spellcaster/effect) Atk/300 Def/400
"I too set one monster in defense mode," said Yami placing the facedown card on his duel disk, "Now. Magician of Black Chaos! Attack!"
Black Chaos gave out a black energy from his staff and fired at the facedown monster. It showed Aqua Madoor and the black energy destroyed the water spellcaster. Shadi was safe for now since his monster was in defense mode and Yami ended his turn.
"This will be the end for you pharaoh," said Shadi. Shadi drew Goblin Attack Force (earth)-Level: 4 (warrior/effect) Atk/2300 Def/0
"I set another monster in defense mode and end my turn," said Shadi.
"Keep playing safe and eventually you will lose," said Yami. Yami drew his next card and it was Obelisk the Tormentor (divine)-Level: 10 (divine/hidden effect) Atk/4000 Def/4000
Yami gave out a smile to Shadi and spoke, "This duel ends. I flip my monster, Magician of faith from facedown defense mode! The effect activates at the same time. I will take monster reborn back!"
Yami went in his graveyard and took out a monster reborn. The he played his Monster Reborn and brought back Jack's Knight in attack mode.
"I bet you know what comes next," said Yami smiling. Shadi remained silent and was ready to take the hit. Yami gave out the order to his Jack's Knight to attack the facedown card. The Jack's Knight sliced the card in half and showed Goblin attack force destroyed. Then Yami ordered Magician of Black Chaos and Faith to attack Shadi's LP. Both spellcasters hit Shadi and Shadi lost 3100.
Shadi's LP: 1900
Shadi knew he was going to lose. Yami moved to Main Phase two and was ready to summon.
"I now tribute my three monsters to bring forth...Mighty Obelisk the Tormentor," yelled Yami sending Magician of Faith, Black Chaos, and Jack's Knight to the graveyard and replaced them with a blue card. The hologram showed a huge blue beast coming out of the ground. It had horns coming out of its head. It had huge blue wings and huge strong arms.
Obelisk The Tormentor-Atk/4000 Def/4000
"Your turn Shadi," said Yami. Shadi didn't move and placed his hand on top of his deck.
"I surrender," said Shadi, "I have no card to beat that monster."
The duel was over and Yami had won the duel. He believed in his deck and that's what made him believe that he could win. Shadi went up to Yami and gave him two cards. Yami stuck out his hand and Shadi placed the two cards on Yami's hand and had Blaze The Fire Knight-East and the field card Temple of Blaze.
Temple of Blaze
(Field Spell Card)
As long as this card remains on the field, Blaze The Fire Knight-East is unaffected by monster effects, trap and spell cards. This card raises the attack power and defense of all your fire type or pyro monsters by 700 points.
"Ya won Yug," yelled Joey.
"We knew you could do it," yelled Duke and Tristan.
"I knew you could win," whispered Tea smiling. Serenity smiled at Yugi. Yami Bakura gave out a cold smile. No one could beat Yugi...at least, not yet. Pegasus gave out quite a cheer. He was clapping his hands for Yugi for winning that duel. Marik, Odion, and Ishizu all smiled and went up to Yugi for a good duel.
"Its getting late folks," said Pegasus getting up, "Why not sleep for till tomorrow? I'm sure you are all tired."
"That will be good Pegasus," said Ishizu walking towards him, "We would all need a good-night sleep."
"Yeah. Pretty late. I guess will sleep here," said Tristan, "Plus...I'm a bit hungry."
"Food is at the kitchen," said Pegasus pointing behind him at the door, "It will lead you to the kitchen. Grab whatever you need."
"Thanks Pegasus," said Duke. Tristan and Duke ran to the kitchen wanting to grab whatever they can.
'That was one tough duel Yami,' said Yugi.
'Yes it was,' said Yami, 'We believed in out decks and ourselves. We won because we were fighting for something.'
Yugi nodded and took control of his body back. Pegasus started to head upstairs and then faced everyone.
"Chop chop everyone," said Pegaus clapping his hands, "Time for bed. Let me lead you to your rooms."
