Chapter 9: DarkNite
Dark Yugi kicked the door he had in front of him and didn't like what he saw: there was a giant altair, Mokuba and the God Cards standing on top of it and a purple aura sorrounding everything.
"Mokuba!" called both Dark Yugi and Anzu.
Mokuba didn't move. The teens tried to call the Kaiba kid's name once again. No answer came. Dark Yugi then moved towards Mokuba but a blast forced him to guard himself.
When he unguarded himself he backed off frightened: a giant man with a pointy beard and a red and gold armor with a blue cloak stood in front of him with an evil smile.
"What do you mean "DarkNite's revived"?!" asked Seto.
Heishin chuckled. "Simple" he said "I didn't tell you to come here for nothing: I wanted you to do these duels"
"What?!"
"By dueling with the Guardians you've unleashed a giant amount of Duel Energy DarkNite fed of. Mokuba was needed for the fact that DarkNite needed a non-Duelist human soul to revive. And with the God Cards' power he has the ability of a God!"
"What happened to my little brother?!" cried Seto.
Heishin looked at him with an evil smile. "He's dead"
"We finally meet, Nameless Pharaoh" said DarkNite while holding the three God Cards.
"The creator of the Shadow Games, DarkNite" said Dark Yugi.
"He has been revived!" cried Anzu.
"And now it's time for me to rule this world with my Shadow Magic!" cried DarkNite while creating a purple energy blast and firing towards the Nameless Pharaoh.
"Yugi!" cried Anzu.
Too late: the blast hit Dark Yugi with the latter even don't having the time to dodge it.
"He was the first" said DarkNite pointing at Anzu "Now it's your turn"
Anzu braced herself, but from the smoke DarkNite's attack created a golden light manifested: Dark Yugi was still alive. "As long as I have the Sennen Puzzle you cannot harm me" he said "If you want to rule the world, you first have to beat me in a duel!"
"I'll accept!" said DarkNite creating a blade-like golden Duel Disk on his left arm "If you lose you'll suffer a Penalty Game: you'll be trapped into a Soul Prison card"
Dark Yugi grunted. "That's the same Penalty Game Seto and Mokuba suffered when they faced Pegasus!" he thought.
"Of course if you win, I'll die and the kid will be revived again, but don't count too much on that!"
"It's you who should pay attention!" said Dark Yugi activating his own Duel Disk.
"Duel!"

"I'll start!" declared DarkNite drawing "I Summon Golem of Destruction in Attack Mode!"
A giant golem with his right arm covered in human skin appeared on the field (ATK: 1500).
"Turn end!"
"My turn! Draw!" declared Dark Yugi "I Summon Magnet Warrior Alpha in Defense Mode!"
A magnet-like monster with a sword on his right arm appeared on the field (DEF: 1700).
"I must be careful. I don't know what kind of deck he has" he thought "Next I Set one reverse card! Turn end!"
"My turn! Draw!" declared DarkNite "Perfect! This card will be very useful later. I Set one reverse card! Then I'll Summon Invader of the Throne in Defense Mode!"
A purple haired woman with a red vest appeared on the field (DEF: 1700).
"Turn end!"
"This is a stalemate. I need to do something. My turn!" declared Dark Yugi drawing "I Summon Magnet Warrior Beta in Attack Mode!"
Another magnet-like monster appeared (ATK: 1700).
"Magnet Warrior Beta attacks Golem of Destruction!"
The magnet monster charged forward and punched Golem of Destruction destroying it.

"The first blood is yours" said DarkNite "But the finishing blow will be mine! My turn!"
As he saw the card he drew he smirked. "I sacrifice Invader of the Throne to Summon Dungeon Worm!"
A spiked orange worm appeared in place of Invader of the Throne (ATK: 1800).
"It's not my first rodeo with that monster" thought Dark Yugi while thinking of his Tag Duel with Jonouchi against the Meikyu Brothers "When that monster destroys a monster by battle, it increases its own Attack power by 10%"
"Dungeon Worm attacks Magnet Warrior Beta!"
The worm dug underground and appeared a few seconds later under Magnet Warrior Beta, eating the latter in the process.

Dark Yugi shielded from the attack and then declared: "Activate Trap Card, Soul Rope! Since once of my monsters had been destroyed, I can pay 1000 Life Points to Summon a four stars monster from my deck" he explained.

"Come out, Magnet Warrior Gamma!"
A third magnet monster appeared (ATK: 1500).
"Since Dungeon Worm has destroyed a monster, its Attack power increases by 10%" explained DarkNite has Dungeon Worm's Attack increased to 1980 "Turn end!"
"My turn!" declared the Pharaoh drawing "Activate Raise Dead! Come back, Magnet Warrior Beta!"
The magnet monster came back joining its comrades.
"And now I combine my three Magnet monsters into one monster!" declared Dark Yugi as the three monster started to disassemble "Combine Summon! Come out, Magnet Valkyrion the Magnetic Warrior!"
The Magnet Warrior started to assemble again and in a few seconds they merged into a unique monster (ATK: 3500).
"Not bad, Nameless Pharaoh" said DarkNite.
"Valkyrion attacks Dungeon Worm!"
Valkyrion moved towards Dungeon Worm and cut him in two with its sword.

"Turn end!" declared Dark Yugi.
DarkNite drew his card without talking and when he saw it he smirked. "Excellent! This card will end this. But I can't use it yet, so I need to wait"
He then placed the card on the far left and selected another card "Activate Thunder Bolt! This card destroys every monster you have on the field!"
A lightning stroke and destroyed Valkyrion.
"Next reverse Trap open, Landmine Spider! This card Summons itself as a monster!"
A giant brown spider appeared on the field (ATK: 2100).
"A Trap Monster!" said Dark Yugi with surprise.
"Landmine Spider attacks directly!"
The giant spider rushed towards the Nameless Pharaoh and hit him.

Dark Yugi got up coughing and noticed something on his chest: wounds!
"Of course!" he thought "This is a Duel of Darkness! Every damage I take is real! I need to be careful or I might lose! My turn! I Summon Big Shield Gardna in Defense Mode!"
A human figure holding a giant shield appeared (DEF: 2600).
"Turn end!"
DarkNite drew once again without talking. "I Summon Shadow Ghoul in Defense Mode!"
A green ghoul appeared on the field (DEF: 1300).
"Turn end!"
Dark Yugi drew and passed.
DarkNite drew his card and placed it on his Duel Disk. "I Summon Guardian of Last Royal Family in Defense Mode!"
A golden statue appeared on the field (DEF: 1600).
Dark Yugi drew his card and placed on his Duel Disk. "I Summon Kuriboh in Defense Mode!"
A brown cotton ball-like monster appeared on the field (DEF: 200).
"Turn end!" declared the Nameless Pharaoh "Kuriboh self-destructs anytime he collides with a monster. I'll keep it in Defense Mode as a decoy so he'll fell in my trap!"
"It's time to Summon the card that will end it all!" said DarkNite drawing "I sacrifice three monsters to the heavens!"
"What?!"
DarkNite's trio of monsters disappeared and in front of him a giant golden sphere appeared. In a matter of seconds the sphere started to open revealing a golden dragon (ATK: ?).
"I Summon Sun Dragon God Ra!"
Dark Yugi stood there frightened in front of the God Card as DarkNite laughed maniacally. "How can you control a God?" asked Dark Yugi "Only a few chosen Duelists can!"
"Are you kidding?" asked rhetorically DarkNite "I'm the creator of the Shadow Games! I'm a god! I'm more than qualified of controlling a God!"
Dark Yugi grunted as DarkNite explained: "Sun Dragon God Ra's Attack power is equal to the total sum of the sacrificed monster's attack power, meaning its attack is 5350!"
"What?! 5350?!" cried Anzu "That's even more powerful than The God of Obelisk!"
"That's right! Now Sun Dragon God Ra, destroy Kuriboh! God Blaze Cannon!" ordered DarkNite as his monster obeyed "Effects don't work on God so your Kuriboh's effect doesn't work!"
"Forgive me, Kuriboh" thought the Nameless Pharaoh as his monster got destroyed and he shielded himself from the attack.
"What was that?!" asked Seto.
"That was a God's attack" answered Heishin with an evil smile. He then pointed towards a door on his right. "Perhaps you would like to watch his powers from closer!"
Both he and Seto started to walk towards the door as the latter thought: "You better not lose this one, Yugi"
"You have nothing in your deck that can stop Ra! Give up, Pharaoh!" said DarkNite laughing maniacally.
Dark Yugi looked at his opponent and said: "I will never give up! I cannot let you take over the world! I will defeat you! I'll promise you!"
He then drew his next card.
