Author: Here is Chapter 17. Yeah…that's about it…so…go read it.

Chapter 17: Battle: Got a Plan C for Critias?

This was bad for Seto. He was facing a powerful monster on the field. Roy's monster had an attack power of 8550 and his BEUD had only attack power of 4500. He has to think of something in order to win, but how?

Roy's LP: 4500

Seto's LP: 5950

Roy: Now let's see…where was I? Oh yes. I draw!

Roy drew a trap card called Royal Decree. Roy smiled. This card can help him just in case if Seto try's to stop him with one of his trap card.

Roy: I set two cards facedown. I bet now you know what comes next. Giga! Attack Kaiba's BEUD with you rebirth blade!

Giga held his sword tightly, leaped up in the air, and slashed BEUD with his sword. BEUD gave out roar of pain was destroyed. Seto lost a lot of Life Points from that attack.

Seto's LP: 1900

Seto gave out a pain and was kneeling on the ground exhausted. Roy smiled in delight seeing Seto Kaiba kneeling down.

Roy: So this is what the great Seto Kaiba can do. To me, all he can do is kneel to his opponent, hahahaha!

Seto got back up and glared at him. He better had to think of something fast or he'll lose the duel.

Roy: By the way, did I mention to tell you that Giga has one-last special ability left?

Seto was now shocked and speechless. How many abilities does this Knight have? First: It comes back from the graveyard everytime it's sent to the graveyard. Two: When this card is sent to the graveyard three times, it gets an extra 500-attack boost for every monster in the graveyard and a 100-attack boost for every monster removed from the field. What more did he need to know?

Roy: Every time Giga the Knight of Life destroys a monster in a result of battle, the monster is reborn on my side of the field. So since you BEUD was sent to the graveyard from a battle by battling my Knight, its brought back on my side of the field!

Seto's BEUD was special summoned to Roy's side of the field, and Kaiba was now going to have a hard time. He saw his own dragon rising and his own dragon roaring at him. Seto was now afraid. He was about to lose this duel. He wouldn't to lose to this fool. He told himself many times that "He was the strongest duelist on Earth. That no one can match with his skills. Not even Yugi." Seto was not going to lose. Not here and not now.

Seto: I will not give up until I lose the duel. So you can just forget about it Roy if your trying to talk sense into me giving up!

Roy: Tsk, tsk Kaiba. You won't accept defeat will you? You're lucky I can't attack Seto. So you're save for the time being. When my knight destroys my opponent's monsters and when the monster is special summoned on my side of the field, it cannot attack until my next turn. And, as long as the monster that my Knight destroyed remains on the field, Giga cannot attack. So draw your next pathetic card so I can win.

Seto glared at Roy and drew his next card. And boy was it his lucky day. He drew his magic card, Swords of Revealing Light. Before Kaiba can place it, Roy activated his trap card, A Knight's Courage. Kaiba wondered what that card did because he never heard such a card.

Roy: Allow me to explain. This trap card can only be activated if I have one of the five knights on my side of the field. As long as my knight remains on the field, nothing can affect it. So trap cards that target them won't work like for an example, Mirror Force will be negated. Plus, every time it's your turn, you'll lose 500 of your Life Points.

Seto: Great. I'll lose 500 every time it's my turn. Well anyway, this won't affect your Giga Knight. Because I'm playing a magic card called, Swords of Revealing light. This card stops your from attacking for three whole turns. That's enough turns to find a way to stop you from winning this duel!

Roy: These Swords won't hold me forever you know.

Seto: Heh. Yeah right. Whatever. I end my turn.

Roy: How sad. I draw.

Roy drew the magic card Mystical Space Typhoon. Roy smiled and looked at Kaiba. Seto had a bad feeling that Roy drew a card that could help, but he was right. Roy did draw the card that could help him.

Roy: I bet you know what Mystical Space Typhoon does. You used it on me a few turns ago. It's the card that destroys a magic or trap card on the field. And so I'm using it on your Swords! Now my BEUD can attack your Life Points directly! Say good-bye Kaiba to defeat! You lost by your own monster!

Seto smiled in and gave out a laugh. He activated his facedown card and Roy saw what it was, Negate Attack!

Seto: I bet you know what Negate Attack does. This trap card stops your attack and you enter main phase 2.

Roy: Argh! So what. I still have two most powerful monsters on the field. My Knight and your so-called "Ultimate" Dragon. I end my turn.

Seto: I knew you were about to say that. My turn!

When Seto was about to draw, Mokuba came running down. Seto looked behind him and saw his brother running to him.

Seto: Mokuba! I told you stay upstairs!

Mokuba: I did Seto. But those Black Duelists were upstairs and I managed to escape them.

Seto: Then stay here Mokuba. And where the heck is Alister?

Meanwhile…

Two black duelists were dragging Alister to a hooded man. The dropped Alister on the ground and Alister just lay there. Well, Alister was moving when he was lying on the ground, but not that much. He was beaten up and his clothes were dirty. He looked up and saw the hooded man turn around facing him. He removed his hood and Alister thought he just saw the pharaoh. But then remembered it was Aeru. It was pretty hard to tell from pharaoh to Aeru, except by their hair color. Their hair though was the same so it was a little bit hard to tell which was the pharaoh and which wasn't.

Alister: Ha…its only…you.

Aeru kneeled and looked at Alister.

Aeru: I should send your soul and lock it up for all eternity. But I won't do it…at least not yet.

Alister: What do you want?

Aeru: All I want from you…is your dark side.

Aeru got back up, extended his hand at Alister, and Alister gave out a cry of pain. A dark smoke was coming out of Alister's body and then the dark smoke formed into a cloud up in the air. It started to form and became a person. Alister looked up tired and in pain and saw himself standing in front of him. He gave out a smile and the real Alister was knocked out cold.

Back at KC…

Roy: You should worry about yourself Kaiba. Now draw!

Mokuba: Hey! My brother can take all the time he wants! Now you just stay there and be quiet!

Roy: That's it you little brat! You are beginning to annoy me!

Roy extended his hand and Mokuba was blown away and landed on the ground hard. Seto saw his brother in pain.

Seto: Mokuba! Are you alright!

Mokuba tried to get up, but he didn't have the strength. He had scratches on him and his clothes were messed up.

Mokuba: ….uh…Seto…beat him…I know you can do it…uh…

Seto: Mokuba!

Mokuba laid on the floor unconscious and Seto got really angry. He faced Roy and pointed his finger at him. But then Seto lost 500 of his Life Points.

Seto's LP: 1400

Seto: You can mess with me and or anything else! But when you hurt my little brother, you cross the line!

Roy: Why should you care? You don't even care about him!

Seto: You don't know anything! Mokuba is my only brother left! He is the only family I got left! You don't even know us! You don't know anything about out family life! So why not keep your big fat mouth shut! You hurt my little brother and its time you feel real pain!

As Seto was about to draw…all of a sudden, his deck started to give out a white light. Roy closed his eyes. He couldn't stand the bright light and same thing for Seto. The light was so bright, it can vanish the shadows. As the light died out, Seto opened his eyes again and saw first card on top of his deck glowing white. Seto drew it and couldn't believe what he was holding.

Seto: Can it be? But it can't be…

Seto drew a magic card that showed a dragon destroy some kind of town and building. Seto drew the most powerful magic card every. This card was strong as the God cards and yet, they were so mysterious. Roy opened his eyes and saw Seto staring at the card he just drew.

Roy: What the heck was that light? What did you do Kaiba?

Seto ignored Roy. Roy was beginning to get angry because Seto was staring at his card and not answering. But before Roy could say anything, Seto smiled and gave out a laugh.

Seto: Hahahahaha! I drew! I drew! The most powerful magic card ever! Roy! Its time you meet your worst nightmare! But I won't play it yet. I end my turn!

Roy: Whatever! My move!

Roy drew his card, but it was useless to him. It was just a trap card called, Dark Mirror Force. This card was pretty useful, but he didn't need. Roy just shook his head.

Roy: Nothing good. Go.

Seto: Heh. Well now, looks like you don't have anything to help you. But I do. But first, I draw.

Seto drew and laughed, but then lost another 500 of his Life Points thanks to the trap card, A Knight's Courage.

Seto's LP: 900

He drew another card he needed. A magic card called, Premature Burial and he knew what he was bringing back.

Seto: This is it! My last hope! I now play the magic card, Premature Burial! This card allows me to bring back a card from the graveyard by paying 500 of my Life Points.

Seto's LP: 400

Seto: I bring back my Blue Eyes White Dragon! Then after that I play the magic card known as, Fang of Critias!

Seto's white dragon appeared from the dragon and gave out a roar when it appeared. And another dragon appeared next to Blue Eyes. It had some kind of blue jewel on top, its skin was like armor and it too gave out a roar. Roy stood their amazed.

Roy: So that's the legendary dragon…Critias…

Seto: I now fuse my Blue Eyes White Dragon and Critias to form a new and powerful monster!

Blue Eyes and Critias fused together and a whole new dragon appeared. It was stronger dragon than Blue Eyes white dragon. A spiky white dragon landed on the ground. It had six wings coming out of its back, three on each side. It then gave out a huge powerful roar and Seto laughed. That –Ha-Ha-I-Win- laugh.

Seto: What now Roy? You scared.

Roy remained silent. The dragon amazed him. He was in a trance that he couldn't snap out of when Seto was stun by his knight.

Seto: I guess I'll take that as a yes. This is known as, Critias, the white dragon!

Critias the White Dragon-Atk/4500 Def/4000

Seto: My dragon has a special ability. I can attack my opponents Life Points by giving up all my Life Points but leaving with me one and removing all cards in my graveyard from play. It's a good thing it has the same attack power as your life points. Now Roy, this looks like the end for you.

Roy: Yes…you are right Kaiba. Go ahead…finish this duel off.

Seto: White Dragon Critias! Finish off Roy with your White light flare!

White Dragon Critias gave out a white flare and aimed it through Roy's two monsters. It hit Roy and Roy was blown back by its amazing power. Roy smiled at Kaiba and Seto had won the duel.

Seto's LP: 1

Roy's LP: 0

The hologram monster disappeared and Roy was kneeling on the ground. Seto went up to Roy and Roy looked at Seto smiling.

Roy: Good…duel. Sorry for hurting your brother.

Seto: Whatever, but you do have the right to say sorry for what you did to my brother.

Roy: Yes. It looks like it. Here. I want you have this. If you're planning to prove yourself to the world that you are the strongest duelist, then I recommend you to take this card.

Roy hand Seto a card and Seto took it. It was Giga the Knight of Life-Center.

Giga the Knight of Life-Center (Wind)

Level: 8

(Warrior/Effect)

Whenever this card is sent to the graveyard in any other way, the card is special summoned onto the owner's field. When this is destroyed by your opponent's monster as a result of battle, this card comes back from the graveyard with half the attack power of the monster that sent Giga to the graveyard. When this card has been sent to the graveyard three times and is special summoned successfully, this card gets an extra 500 attack power boost for every monster in the graveyard in both player's graveyard and an extra 100 attack power boost for every monster removed from the field in both players removed card zone (I know there's no such thing, but just pretend there is ok?). Every time this card destroys opponent's monster as a result of battle, you can special summon that monster to your side of the field. But, as long as the monster that was special summoned by the effect of Giga remains on the field, Giga cannot attack.

Atk/2800 Def/3500

Roy: Take good care of it…uh…

Roy fell on the ground unconscious and Seto put the card in his deck. Seto then ran up to Mokuba to see if he was ok. He picked up Mokuba and tried to wake him up.

Seto: Mokuba! Are you all right? Wake up Mokuba.

Mokuba slowly opened his eyes and saw Seto seeing if his all right. Mokuba gave out a weak smile.

Mokuba: I'm all right…big brother…just…tired…

Seto: Rest little brother.

Mokuba closed his eyes as he was told and was sleeping. Seto picked him up and saw it was mess. He looked everywhere if there was any help. Just then, one of Seto's emplyes saw him and went up to him. A female with the Kaiba Corp insignia ran up to him and wondered if he was all right. She was wearing a yellow skirt uniform and she was wearing somekind of glasses

-(You know in those YuGiOh! shows, Kaiba has those female workers and their wearing some kind of glasses? Those kinds. If you never seen them read those before, you need to watch YGO more often, not to be mean or anything.)-

Female KC worker: Mr. Kaiba sir. Is there anything I can do?

Seto: Take care of my brother. I'm going to locate Yugi to see if got anything.

Female KC worker: Yes sir. I'll take good care of your brother sir.

Seto handed his brother to the female worker and the female took Mokuba.

Seto: Yeah yeah. I mean…thank you miss…

Female KC worker: Oh, my name is Michelle Mr. Kaiba sir.

Seto: Right. Thank you Ms. Michelle.

Michelle was blushing from Seto's comment and nodded to him.

Michelle: You don't need to call me miss Mr. Kaiba.

Seto: Then stop calling my Mr. Kaiba if you just want to be called Michelle. Go send my brother to the hospital.

Michelle nodded and took Seto's brother to the nearest hospital. Seto then took out his cell phone and dialed everyone to come to his building.

Seto: Contact everyone that works in Kaiba Corp. I need my place clean up…
