Please? Anyways, enjoy the story.
Chapter 55:
Final Abyss Guardian: Dark vs. Light
Yugi: Move aside Téa…
Téa couldn't believe what she was hearing. All she could do was stand there, between the two duelists facing each other and let her tears fall from her eyes, down to her cheeks. Everybody in the room couldn't believe what they were hearing, especially from pharaoh.
"Yugi…no…please no," cried Téa softly, "Please tell your joking!"
Yugi: …Do not make me repeat myself Téa! Move aside!
"…You're breaking my heart Yugi…I don't know you anymore," cried Téa as she collapsed on the floor on her knees.
Yugi: That's it. I heard enough!
Yugi extended his left hand towards Téa and all Téa could do was gasp in shock. Téa was pushed back by an invisible force and was slammed hard onto the ground. The gang quickly rushed towards Téa, hoping her was injured. Seto was the first to reach Téa and saw no injuries on her.
"She is alright. No injuries…but knocked out," said Seto as he slowly picked up Téa from the floor. Marik and Odion quickly came up and both placed Téa's arms around their neck and lifted her up, only a few inches above the ground.
"Poor Téa," whispered Ishizu as she stared at her friend in worry.
"Damn you Aeru! Were going to get you for everything what you have done! You hurt too many people, you took away our friends and loved ones, and made them turn against us," yelled Joey towards the ceiling.
Yami: Enough Joey!
"Huh?"
Everyone stared towards Yami, seeing his head down, staring deeply at the ground. They were wondering why Yami was yelling at Joey when Joey was yelling at the man that caused all this.
Yami: Just stop talking for one minute ok?!
"But…pharaoh…I was only-"
Yami: Enough I said! Aeru did cause all the pain…but it's also the people that follow him as well!
"What do you mean pharaoh," yelled back Tristan.
Yami: It's people like him that makes me sick!
Yami lifted up his face, showing his angry, determined eyes, and pointed his finger towards Yugi. Yugi gave a huge maniacal grin as he stared at his former partner and gave a small shrug to Yami.
Yugi: What can I say…I have a thing for revenge.
Yami: Shut up!
Yugi: My, my. You need anger management pharaoh, hahahahaha.
Yami: It's people like you that side with Aeru that makes me sick! All they care about is themselves and power! They throw everything aside just to prove what they can do!
Yugi: Got a problem with that?
Yami: In a matter of fact, yes! A big problem! To tell you the truth, it also makes me laugh whenever I see you people! You just try to prove your opponents that you are stronger, but deep inside, all of you have nothing but a big mouth!
Yugi: What's that supposed to me?
Yami: Talk is cheap!
Yugi: I see…
Yami: And Yugi! You're nothing, but a scared little boy trying to play tough.
Yugi!
Yami: I'm glad that I do all the work. At least you won't be in the way when I save the world because with you all over the place, well, you slow me down really.
Yugi: Why you-
Yami: You heard me. You slow me down when it comes to saving the world. I'm glad people rely on me instead of you. Who knows, you might screw things up…jackass.
Everyone in the room gasped. They have never heard Yami speak that way before…and use that kind of language. Bakura tried to bite his mouth, but soon gave a huge laugh as he stared up at the ceiling. To him, this duel was like, Comedy Central to him.
Yugi: You think you're all that, don't you?!
Yami: At least I'm doing a better job of it unlike you.
Everyone (except for Bakura): Gasp!
Yugi: Shut up!
Yami: Got nothing to say? Looks like I beat you on words too.
Everyone (except for Bakura): Double Gasp!
Yugi: Argh…
Yami: Growling now? I suggest you stand down Yugi, unless your want to humiliate yourself in front of your, "friends".
Everyone (except for Bakura): Triple Gasp!
Yugi: Enough talk! I'm going to beat you hard onto the ground, partner!
Yami: No Yugi! I will not let that happen! You hurt Téa when she was only trying to help! I will not allow that! I'm going to destroy you!
"Don't you think that's pretty harsh," asked Tristan.
"If it's going to knock some sense to Yugi…then no, not really," muttered Joey.
Yugi: My move pharaoh so watch out!
Yugi quickly drew his card and checked out his card. He gave a small grin and stared towards Yami.
Yugi: First up, Chest of Greed!
Chest of Greed
(Trap Card)
This card can only be activated during your draw phase. Choose one of the following effects:
-Draw the same amount of cards from your deck from the same amount of monsters from your opponent's side of the field.
-Draw the same amount of cards from your deck from the same amount of monsters from your side of the field.
-Draw the same amount of cards from your deck that have the name "Pot of Greed", "Jar of Greed", "Jug of Greed," and "Chest of Greed" in your graveyard.
Yugi: I plan to activate the first effect of my card! Since you have three monsters on your side of the field, I can draw three cards from my deck and add them to my hand!
Yami: Argh…
Yugi quickly drew three new cards and added them to his hand. He gave a small grin once again and stared towards Yami.
Yugi: I now play Gazella the Queen of Mythical Beast in defense mode!
A female version of the Gazelle the King of Mythical Beast appeared on the dueling floor. It had the same color fur as Gazelle, but instead of having that fierce look on it's face like Gazelle, it had a gently expression and gave a small soft growl.
Gazella the Queen of Mythical Beast-Atk/1000 Def/1600
Yugi: Now I play the magic card, A Magician's Appearance!
Yami: Your going to activate a spell card?
Yugi: Duh. Didn't you hear me when I said was going to play a magic card? I swear, you never listen and you always do everything dramatic.
Yami: Whatever…
Yugi: Now, let me explain my little magic card do you.
A Magician's Appearance
(Magic Card)
This card can only be activated if you have a level 6 or higher Spellcaster monster on your side of the field. Tribute one monster on your side of the field and remove it from play to Special Summon one level 6 or higher Spellcaster from your hand to the field in attack mode.
Yugi: I tribute my Gazella in order to summon, Light Magician Girl!
The brown fur beast soon disappeared into thin air was quickly replaced by a duplicate of Dark Magician Girl. But instead of having her usual clothes with her usual colors, this magician had the same costume, but a different colors. Her costume was mostly white and held a similar wand, just like Dark Magician Girl. Her hair was black and had the same style as her counterpart and her eyes gave a sapphire color.
Yugi: Pharaoh! Meet Light Magician Girl!
Yami: Argh…
Light Magician Girl gave a small wink to the pharaoh and a giggle as she prepared to battle against the pharaoh. Yami couldn't believe what was happening. His partner joined evil and was now fighting him, his deck was exactly like his, and he was insane!
Yugi: But wait, I'm not done yet! I play, Wizard's Stone!
Wizard's Stone
(Magic Card)
You can only activate this card when there is a face-up "Light Magician Girl" on your side of the field. Special Summon 1 "Light Magician" from your hand or deck.
Yugi: I now summon Light Magician!
A tall male magician appeared on the field and wore the same exact clothing like his counterpart, Dark Magician, but instead of black, his clothing was white, as well as his tall hat, and his staff also. The magician gave a calm look on his face and aimed his staff at the pharaoh, prepared to attack.
Light Magician

Yugi: Now for my finally trick, I play, Magical Performance!
Magical Performance
(Magic Card)
This card can only be activated if "Light Magician" and "Light Magician Girl" are the only monsters on your side of the field. Destroy all monsters on your opponent's side of the field and your opponent loses 500 life points for every monster he/she lost.
Yugi: Light Magician and Light Magician Girl! Fuse your powers together! Double Light Magic Attack!
Both magicians combined their staff together and pointed it towards Yami's three knights. Their staff gave a bright white light and soon, three huge energy balls appeared out of the staff and fired at the three knights. It came all of a sudden that all Yami saw was a huge white explosion and once everything cleared, Yami saw his monsters gone.
Yami's LP: 6500
Yugi: You see what your up against pharaoh?!
Yami: It's not over yet Yugi! My move now! First up, I'll set one card facedown! After that, I'll play the magic card, Curtain of Black Magic! Come forth, Dark Magician!
As Yami played his magic card, a huge black curtain appeared in the dueling field and a tall black and purple robed magician appeared on the field, and aimed his long magician staff at his doppelganger on Yugi's side of the field.
"Alright! The pharaoh summoned his Dark Magician," yelled Tristan in happiness.
"But it cost him half of his life points," mumbled Duke, "And he won't be able to summon anymore monsters until his next turn."
Yami's LP: 3250
Yugi: Well, well, well. Battle of the magicians I should say.
Yami: I wonder which one is stronger? My Dark Magician or your Light Magician?
Yugi: Guess we have to see which one performs the best magic trick!
Yami: Argh…
Yugi: My move! Let's see if you can with this pharaoh! I set one monster in defense mode, but that's not all! I will now reveal my monster!
Yami: What?! You can't do that! Once you set a monster, you can't just flip it face-up!
Yugi: Not unless it has a special effect.
Yami: Oh no!
Yugi: I reveal, Small Shield Gardna!
A small warrior holding a very small shield appeared on the field and it closely resembled to Yami's Big Shield Gardna, but the small warrior looked like a small kid version of its original form. Although the monster had only 1000 defense points, Yami had a very bad feeling about this card.
Small Shield Gardna
Level: 4
(Earth/Warrior/Effect)
You can flip this card into facedown Defense Position once per turn during your Main Phase. Spell Cards and Trap Cards cannot be activated until the end of your opponent's turn. Negate the activation of a Monster Effect that targets this 1 facedown monster. At that time, flip this card into face-up Defense Position.
Atk/100 Def/1000
Yugi: Since I flipped my monster face-up, you can't activate Spell Cards or Trap Cards until the end of your turn. Lucky for you, since I already flipped my monster, I can't set it back to facedown defense mode. Now is your chance to attack, heh heh heh.
Yami: /It's a trap. Why would he place his monster into attack mode? Sure, I won't be able to activate Spell Cards and Trap Cards, but he has nothing to protect his monster with…/ Fine! Here I go! I'll draw! I set one card facedown and end my turn…
Yugi: That's all? Well, my move! I set my monster facedown. Now I'll flip my monster-
Yami: Not so fast! You fell for my trap!
Yugi: What?
Yami: Reveal, Stand Down!
Stand Down
(Continuous Trap Card)
Select a facedown monster on your opponent's side of the field. The selected monster cannot be flipped face-up as long as this card remains on the field.
Yami: Too bad. It looks like Small Shield Gardna is staying as he is.
Yugi: Why you…well, I play, Fusion Summon Spell!
Yami: Fusion Summon Spell?
Fusion Summon Spell
(Magic Card)
Activate this card if you have one of the fusion monsters on your side of the field. Take one of the monsters from your deck that are needed for a Fusion Summon and remove that monster, along with one of your monsters that are needed for a Fusion Summon from play and Special Summon your Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck. Your opponent can also use this magic card, but he/she must pay 1000 of their life points.
Yugi: You can call forth a Fusion Monster by paying 1000 of your life points, but for me, I don't need to pay anything.
Yami: So we have to remove the monsters from play that are needed for a Fusion Summon…
Yugi: Exactly. I give up my Masamune Blader along with my Light Magician from play in order to summon, Light Paladin!
Yami: What?!
Yugi took out a card and showed it to his dark partner. His Masamune Blader in a way, looked exactly like his Buster Blader, but his sword was really long and thin unlike his monster that wield a huge blade. Also, their armor was different. Buster Blader had like a blue armor while Masamune Blader had black armor.
Masamune Blader
Level: 7
(Earth/Warrior/Effect)
Increase the ATK of this card b 500 points for every monster destroyed as a result of a battle and sent to the graveyard by this card.
Atk/2600 Def/2300
Yugi: Come forth, Light Paladin!
There was a huge bright light coming from the field and a huge circle appeared at the center of the field. Soon, weird symbols appeared around the circle that looked like the same kind of circle in the background behind Dark Magician. Soon, a tall white armored warrior holding a long thin blade appeared on the field and gave a cold glare towards Yami Yugi.
Yugi: As you can see, my Light Paladin is just like your Dark Paladin, but with a different effect.
Light Paladin
Level: 8
(Light/Spellcaster/Fusion/Effect)
"Light Magician" + "Masamune Blader"
This monster can only be Special Summoned by Fusion Summon.

The ATK of this card increases by 500 points for every monster destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard by this card.
Atk/2900 Def/2400
Yugi: What about you pharaoh? Will you summon your monster?
Yami: I will! I'll give up Buster Blader along with my Dark Magician in order to summon Dark Paladin! Come forth, Dark Paladin!
Yami took out his Buster Blader from his deck and removed it from play with his Dark Magician and placed a fusion monster onto the field. A circle appeared on the field and a huge black light came out of the circle, erupting like a volcano from the ground. Soon, the dark light dissolved and a black armored warrior holding a huge blade appeared on the field and aimed his blade towards his opposite-self and gave a small cold glare towards the monster.
Yami: Behold! The original monster, Dark Paladin!
Dark Paladin
Level: 8

Atk/2900 Def/2400
"Wow, both of them summoned their strongest monster," said Joey in amazement.
"But it cost the pharaoh his life points," said Seto.
Yami's LP: 2250
Yugi: Well, ready to lose?
Yami: No. I'm to win!
Yugi: Go Light Paladin!
Yami: Go Dark Paladin!
(At this point, it's going to be more of a sword battle then a duel…I just thought maybe at this point, it might look better, I don't know. It might look weird in a duel, but I just want to see where this will go.)
Both Paladins dashed towards each other and brought their swords up in the air. They slammed their blades together and a huge explosive energy spread all over the dueling room. Everyone could hardly stand still with strong explosive winds blowing against them, but after a while, everything seemed to calm down and everyone saw that the two Paladins had their swords collided with each other and both of them were trying to break each other's attack, but both were equally strong.
Yugi: It seems our monsters are equally matched.
Yami: I don't think so. Dark Magician Girl! Help Dark Paladin!
Yugi: Light Magician Girl! Make sure Dark Magician Girl doesn't get near Dark Paladin!
Dark Magician Girl dashed towards Dark Paladin, but Light Magician Girl soon blocked her path from getting anywhere near her partner. Both female magicians were now locked in battle as well. Explosions were everywhere and everything was in ruins. Yugi and Yami's monsters were now exhausted from fighting and they hardly move at all. The duel is near the end and both of their life points were getting closer to reaching zero. Yami couldn't keep on fighting like this. It was either he win this duel and face Aeru or lose to Yugi and fail to save the world.
Yami: Yugi! Enough of this! We can't keep on fighting like this!
Yugi: I will win! I will succeed! No one will stand in my way!
Yami: Look at yourself Yugi! Look at what you have done! Aeru has brainwashed your mind into thinking I was the true enemy!
Yugi: What's your point pharaoh?
Yami: My point is that I'm not your enemy! I am your friend and friends help each other.
Yugi: Your beginning to sound like Téa.
Yami: Yugi! Listen for once will you?! Don't you remember that night?
Yugi: What night?
Yami: You've truly forgotten haven't you?
Yugi: What?
Yami: Remember Téa losing her soul to Aeru?
Yugi: …Yeah…
Yami: You stayed by her side…you gave your full attention to her. All you cared about was her Yugi…nothing else.
Yugi: …I…I remember now…
Yami: Come on Yugi. Let's stop this duel so we can defeat Aeru together…
Yugi: ……You think words will end this duel pharaoh?
Yami: What?
Yugi: A duel is showing each other's strength, their determination, their strategy, and so on! It's not about trying to talk to one another to stop the duel!
Yami: But-
Yugi: Listen to me Yami! We have the same determination, and maybe we share the same strategy, but our strength's are different. At the end of this duel, one shall stand and one shall fall.
Yami: …
Yugi: I'm planning to finish this duel to the very end Yami! And I expect you to do the same!
Yami: Your right…a duel is a duel. We cannot change that…Yugi! Show me what you got!
Yugi: You asked for it pharaoh! I draw! Now I play the magic card, Legendary Magna Knights!
Yami: Legendary Magna Knights?
Legendary Magna Knights
(Spell Card)
You must tribute one monster card on your side of the field as you activate this card. Special Summon "Delta the Magna Knight," "Epsilon the Magna Knight," and "Zeta the Magna Knight" from your hand or deck, onto your side of the field in attack mode.

Yugi: That's right pharaoh! Now, behold! Delta the Magna Knight!

Atk/1900 Def/2200
As Yugi sent his Light Paladin to the graveyard, three monsters soon replaced it. Three magnet like creatures soon appeared on the field, a ragged cape wrapped around their neck, each one holding a different weapon, and also in different colors. Delta the Magna Knight had a bronze color armor and held two long blades, Epsilon had a silver color armor and held a long spear, and for Zeta, it wore a gold color armor and held two large shields, one on each arm.
Yami: Incredible!
" No time to be amazed pharaoh! Your monster is still powerful then those pieces of junk," yelled Joey.
" Joey's right! You have the powerful monster still with you," yelled Tristan agreeing with Joey.
"You idiots," mumbled Seto.
Everyone turned their heads towards Seto wandering what he was talking about. Seto stared right back at them and began to explain his reason.
"Yugi must have a powerful strategy if he gave up that powerful monster of his," explained Seto, "Something tells me there's more than meets the eye…"
"I agree with Kaiba. Something definitely is wrong with this picture," mumbled Duke.
Yugi: I know fuse together all my monsters! Magna Knights! Join together as one and bring me victory in this fight!
All three Magna Knights began to glow brightly and slowly lifted up from the ground. They were soon ripped into pieces and started to join each other's parts. The pieces soon started to form into different objects and soon, it started to form into a new monster. As the light disappeared, a huge platinum armored creature fell to the ground on its feet and held a huge long spear, fused with two blades at the side of the tip of the spear, and two shields placed at the side at the end of the spear. It gave a huge metallic roar and aimed it's spear towards it's small opponent, its eyes shinning brightly at him.
Yugi: Behold! Meet Digamma-The Legendary Magna Knight!
Digamma-The Legendary Magna Knight
Level: 8
(Earth/Rock/Effect)
This card can only be Special Summoned by offering Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta from your side of the field. If these three Magna Knight's are in your graveyard, you can tribute this card in order to Special Summon them back to the field.
Atk/4000 Def/3550
Yugi: A powerful monster, yet with a powerful cost.
Yugi's LP: 2400
Yugi: But it's going to be worth it! Digamma! Attack his Dark Paladin!
The huge beast lifted its spear and jabbed it right through Yami's monster, destroying it instantly with no problem. Yami groaned in pain and saw his life points go down, almost reaching zero. Yami had to think of something, at fast if he wants to face Aeru in a duel.
Yami's LP: 1150
"Pharaoh," cried everyone in the room as they saw Yami falling to the ground on his knees. They couldn't believe that was he was about to lost to Yugi, and even though they didn't want to see either of their friends lose, they had no choice, but to keep on cheering for Yami because only he could save everyone that Aeru took away.
Yugi: Is that all you got? You won't be able to face Aeru with that kind of strength Yami! Get up and defeat me!
Yami slowly got back up on his feet, catching his breath before he continue on. This duel was draining the life out of him for some odd reason, but he couldn't let that stop him. He quickly drew his next card from the top of his deck and prepared to make his next move.
Yami: Looks like this is my only move I can make for now. I play the magic card, Life or Death Situation!
"What kind of magic card is that," yelled Mako, "I never knew Yugi had this many new cards."
"If you mean that's about to lose all of his life points, then yes, he does have many new cards," grinned Bakura.
"I just wonder what that card does," asked Espa as he watched the duel in amazement.
Yugi: What is that card?
Yami: It's a card I forbidden myself to ever use unless it meant I was about to lose the duel. I was hoping I could play this card during my match with Aeru, but it seems I have no choice.
Life Or Death Situation
(Magic Card)
You can only play this magic card unless you and your opponents have lower than 4000 life points and your opponent has more life points than you. Select three magic cards and one monster from your deck and placed them in front of your opponent facedown. If your opponent chooses the monster card, you can summon that monster, ignoring any summoning conditions needed. However, you must finish the duel in three turns or the duel is over (This turn is counted as 1 turn). If your opponent chooses a magic card, all cards you selected are removed from play and you must skip your turn.
"The pharaoh is risking everything in just one card," yelled Duke.
"Pharaoh! Don't be a fool," yelled Marik.
"I swear he is going to regret it," yelled Mai.
"We have to believe in him! This maybe his only chance of winning this duel," yelled Joey.
"Don't you dare lose Pharaoh, or Yugi, or whatever you call yourself," yelled Seto in anger.
Yami: My friends believe in me and I will not let them down!
Yugi: …
Yami: Pick a card Yugi! Any card!
Yami placed down all three cards in his duel-disk, revealing three holographic facedown cards in the field. Yugi observed the three cards in front of him and was making his plan in his thoughts.
Yugi: /The pharaoh has a one out of three chance of me picking the monster card. One kind of monster did he pick? If I was him, I probably would've picked an Egyptian God Card. Which one though? Slifer The Sky Dragon requires the number of cards in the player's hand, so he wouldn't have picked that card. The Winged Dragon of Ra requires the strength and defenses of a monster, so that's not it. So that means his left with Obelisk the Tormentor. Now, if I was Obelisk, where would I be?/
Yugi: Heh, your acting more like Joey now Yami. Your using luck to save you instead of skills.
Yami: Sometimes, in order to become the most powerful duelist, you need some luck in you as well. When it comes down to just mere skills, it won't always save you.
"Whatever," mumbled Seto.
Yami: This is what I always see in Joey. He uses luck and his skills and becomes the most amazing duelist I have ever seen before.
"Damn straight! You're embarrassing me pharaoh," laughed Joey as he rubbed his head.
Yami: So, pick a card Yugi.
Yugi: …I pick the far right!
The far right card slowly began to raise and everyone tried to get a look to see what Yugi picked, but Yugi was soon surprised to see what he picked. He picked a monster card and he was expecting Obelisk, but it turned out to be Blaze-The Fire Knight of the East. The red armored knight soon appeared on the field and everyone were also surprised by Yami's choice.
Blaze-The Fire Knight of the East-Atk/2450 Def/2000
Yami: Also, since Blaze has been summoned to the field, he changes all monster attributes to Fire and gains 100 extra attack points for every fire monster on the field.
Blaze-The Fire Knight of the East-Atk/2650 Def/2000
Yugi: Why would you pick a monster like him?! He doesn't have enough attack power to destroy my monster!
Yami: Who said about destroying your monster?
Yugi: What?!
Yami: I end my turn.
"What is he doing," yelled Rex.
"Is he trying to make himself lose," laughed Weevil, "Just what is the pharaoh trying to prove? Hee hee hee!"
"Pharaoh. Whatever you are planning, I believe you all the way," whispered Ishizu.
Yugi: Are you trying to mock me?! That's it! I'm finishing this duel all the way! Digamma! Finish him off!
The huge knight was soon jabbed its giant spear towards the fire knight and there was a huge explosion. Smoke began to cover up the whole field and everyone was wandering what happened to Yami's monster. Everyone could hear Yugi laughing the background, thinking that the duel was over, and Yugi had won.
Yugi: There was no way your monster could ever survive that attack! You lose Yami!
Téa slowly began to recover a little and could hear faint explosions coming everyone. What was going on anyways? Téa slowly groaned in pain and soon attracted everyone. They all grouped around her, wandering if she was ok. Marik and Odion slowly let go of her and saw that she came out of unconscious state.
"What happened," groaned Téa.
"You were knocked out pretty badly," explained Michelle.
"Yugi was the one who caused it," laughed Bakura, "I never that little punk could do something so drastic to a dear friend! Hahahaha!"
"Yugi? Yugi," yelled Téa as she began to remember everything, "What's going on?!"
"The duel is over Téa," yelled Joey as he tighten his hands into a fist, "The pharaoh lost to Yugi…"
"No," whispered Téa. She soon saw the huge smoke that was covering up the field and could also hear the laughter of Yugi in the background.
Everyone remained silent and as the smoke cleared out, they were expecting Yami lying on the floor defeated, instead, they saw Blaze remaining on the field unharmed. Everyone gave a surprised and shock look to see Yami and his monster still remaining on the field. Yugi gave an angry look and started yelling towards Yami.
Yugi: What happened?! You're are supposed to be on the floor!
Yami: I would've, if it wasn't for a magic card.
Yugi: What?! Explain yourself!
Yami: When I was looking for three cards for you to pick, I used a special magic card to protect my monster.
Yugi: I didn't see you play any magic card expect that Life or Death Situation Card!
Yami: Exactly. It doesn't need to be played in order to be activated!
"What is he talking about," asked Espa.
"A cunning strategy," grinned Mako, "Impressive."
"What's going on here," yelled Tristan, "I'm confused."
Yami: When you picked Blaze, I sent two magic cards to the graveyard. One of them saved me.
Yami reached into his graveyard and pulled out the magic card he sent to the graveyard when he played that last magic card he used earlier and showed it to Yugi.
Yami: It's called, Invincible Hidden Shield!
Invincible Hidden Shield
(Magic Card)
This card can only be activated if sent to the graveyard by a card effect controlled by any player. During your opponent's battle phase, if a monster controlled by your opponent attacks one of your monsters, that monster's attack strength is reduced to zero (battle calculation still applies). This cost 1000 of your life points if you choose to activate this card.
Yugi: No…

Yami: I had just enough life points to activate this card. You lost Yugi. Your monster's strength has been reduced to zero, giving my monster enough strength to bring it down and my monster also just has enough attack as well to end this! Blaze! Counter attack with Inferno Slash and end this!
Blaze acknowledged Yami's order and slashed Digamma into half, as well as releasing a huge fire blade attack towards Yugi. As Yugi saw the attack coming closer, he slowing closed his eyes, and began to remember everything.
Everyone…
Joey, Serenity, Tristan, Duke, Mokuba, Bakura, Mai, Mako, Seto…
Téa…
I'm so sorry everyone. I'm sorry for everything. Especially to you Téa. I hope you all forgive me for my foolishness…
But…thank you…for staying by my side…
The attack was now just inches away and just then, Yugi could've sworn he heard something from the crowd. It was faint, but he could still here it.
Yugi…
Yugi!
Hey Yug'!
Way to go Yugi!
Beat that punk Yugi!
"So they were cheering for me…after all then," thought Yugi as he gave a small smile, "They really were cheering for me…"
The attack finally hit him and there was soon another huge explosion. Everyone closed their eyes from the smoke and tried to stand still. Was the duel finally over? Did Yami win? Everything was soon answered as they saw the smoke disappeared and they saw Yugi, still standing, but defeated, his life points hitting zero with his head lowered so his eyes couldn't be seen.
"I won…just in time too," sighed Yami as he took deep breaths.
End of Chapter 55
Finally! Done! Sorry for the wait everyone! I hope this makes it up!
