Yu-Gi-Oh! Shadow Memories

by Richard Tsunami

After the evil Heishin steals the three God Cards in order to revive the creator of the Shadow Games DarkNite, it's up to Yugi and his friends to stop him.

11. Annihilate God! The fierce battle ends

Chapter 11: Annihilate God! The fierce battle ends

Even though both Yugi and Seto had all their Life Points, they still didn't like The God of Obelisk standing before them.

"You're the first, Nameless Pharaoh" declared Nitemare while pointing a finger against Dark Yugi "The God of Obelisk attacks directly! God Hand Crusher!"

The God Card charged his fist but the Pharaoh was ready.

"Reverse card open, Shadow Guardsmen!"

As long as the card revealed itself an armor wielded by a white sprite appeared on the field (DEF: 1).

"This card spawns as many Guard Token as many monsters you have on the field, in this case one!" explained Dark Yugi.

"It doesn't matter!" said Nitemare "You'll still lose your last defense!"

"I won't be so sure about that!" smirked Dark Yugi "Reverse card open, Multiplication!"

As Obelisk's attack collided with the Guard Token and the smoke died, three more Guard Tokens were on the field.

"My Multiplication card had multiplied my Token by four monsters before Obelisk could succeed its attack"

Nitemare grunted and ended his turn.

"My turn!" declared Seto drawing "I Summon Gadget Soldier in Defense Mode!"

A cybernetic human figure holding a rocket launcher appeared on the field (DEF: 2000).

"Turn end!"

"My turn! Draw!" said Dark Yugi "I sacrifice one Guard Token to Summon Black Magician Girl!"

The female magician appeared on the field on the top of her staff as if it was a broomstick (ATK: 2000).

"Next Magic Card Dimension Magic!" continued Dark Yugi "By sacrificing my two remaining Guard Tokens I Summon Black Magician!"

Dark Yugi's ace monster hit the field alongside her apprentice (ATK: 2500).

"And now it's time for God to fall" said the Pharaoh "Thanks to Dimension Magic now my Magicians can unite their forces to strike down one of your creatures!"

"What?!" cried Nitemare "Damn… Magic effects are the only one God is affected!"

"Black Magician and Black Magician Girl! Destroy The God of Obelisk!"

Both magicians charged an attack uniting their staff and launched it at Obelisk destroying it.

"They did it!" cried Anzu "They destroyed Obelisk!"

Dark Yugi smiled in relief. "Turn end!"

Nitemare drew without talking. "This card can help me stall for time" thought while placing it on the Duel Disk "Activate Protective Seal Swords of Light!"

All of a sudden three swords of green light manifested in front of Dark Yugi and Seto.

"This card will stop your assault for three whole turns!" explained Nitemare as the two Duelists grunted "Of course it will be much quicker because you're two and that means my Swords will vanish sooner, but it's still good. Now I Summon Shadow Ghoul in Defense Mode!"

The green ghoul appeared on the field (DEF: 1300).

"Turn end!"

Seto drew his card without talking: it was Blue-Eyes White Dragon. "Perfect. Now I must gather two sacrifices. One of them is already on the field" thought looking at his Gadget Soldier "So I need just another one. I Summon Blood Vorse!"

A devilish looking monster wielding an axe appeared on the field (ATK: 1900).

"Turn end!"

"My turn! Draw!" declared Dark Yugi "There isn't too much I can do now. I Set one reverse card! Turn end!"

"My turn!"

As Nitemare drew his next card, shockwaves spawned through the field, forcing Dark Yugi, Seto and Anzu to guard themselves.

"Just what the hell is happening?" thought Seto.

"It's God!" thought Dark Yugi "He has drawn another God!"

Nitemare placed aside the card drawn and selected another card in the middle of his hand. "I Summon Destruction Golem in Defense Mode!"

The stone giant appeared on the field once again, like in the previous duel (DEF : 1000).

"Next I place one reverse card! Turn end!"

"My turn!" declared Seto drawing "I sacrifice Gadget Soldier and Blood Vorse!"

The two monsters disappeared and Seto's ace monser hit the field (ATK: 3000).

"Come out, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Nitemare at both of his enemies' ace monsters. "So this is your power… Nameless Pharaoh and Priest Seto…"

"Next I Set two reverse cards!" declared the CEO "Turn end! And at the end of this turn your Protective Seal Swords of Light are destroyed!"

The three swords vanished as Dark Yugi drew his next card.

Seto looked at Dark Yugi. "Attack him now, Yugi! He has two puny monsters your magicians can easily take out. Afterwards, he won't have nothing left to protect himself!"

"I wish it was that simple" thought Dark Yugi "Protective Seal Swords of Light may be gone, but he still has a reverse card. I won't take any chance if that card is a Trap Card. Black Magician and Black Magician Girl to Defense Mode! Next I Set one reverse card! Turn end!"

"What?!" yelled the CEO looking at his partner "Why didn't you attack?!"

"He has a reverse card on the field" answered the Pharaoh "If I attack recklessly I may lose my monsters!"

"It seems like Heishin's memories of you were true" said all of a sudden Nitemare.

"What are you talking about?" asked Dark Yugi.

"You acted too careful thinking my reverse card is a Trap Card. You were wrong! It was a mere bluff!"

"What?!"

"And now you'll pay for it! My turn!" declared Nitemare drawing "Reverse card open, Brain Control! With this I take control of Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

The white dragon switched side and went towards Nitemare.

"Next I sacrifice my three monsters!"

The three monsters vanished and a ball of light appeared (ATK: ?).

"Oh no!" thought the Pharaoh "Not him!"

"I Summon Sun God Dragon Ra, with 6100 attack power!"

The yellow dragon manifested on the field with a roar.

"6100 attack power?!" thought Dark Yugi frightened "It's even more powerful than before!"

Nitemare laughed maniacally. "Time for you to go to hell, Seto! Sun Dragon God Ra attacks with God Blaze Cannon!"

The giant dragon fired his shot at Seto, which reacted keeping his cool.

"Reverse card open, Attack Guidance Armor!" declared "This card allows me to redirect the attack on Black Magician Girl!"

The attack hit Dark Yugi's monster, manifesting flames on the field, which tore up the Pharaoh's bandages.

"Reverse Trap activate, Soul Rope!" declared Dark Yugi, his chest hurting again "Since you destroyed one of my monsters I can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon one four stars monster from my deck!"

"What?!"

"I Summon Blockman in Defense Mode!"

A robot made of Lego appeared on the field (DEF: 1500).

"Now back to me! My turn!" declared Seto drawing and smirking at the card "Activate Magic Card Voice of the Heavens!"

"Voice of the Heavens?" parroted Nitemare.

"This card allows me to pay 1000 Life Points and declare a card name of a eight stars or higher monster" explained Seto "If that card is in your deck, I can put it in my hand!"

"What?! That is so overpowered!"

"I declare Sky Dragon Osiris!"

Nitemare stood watching as from his deck a card slid out and went towards Seto, which grabbed it.

The CEO then looked at Dark Yugi. "You do have that card, do you?"

"Of course I do" answered Dark Yugi smirking "Reverse card open, Exchange!"

"The Exchange card?!" cried Nitemare.

"This card allows me to trade a card in my hand with one of another player" explained Dark Yugi "And I choose Kaiba!"

The CEO went towards the Pharaoh and gave him Osiris. He then picked Fusion, which was the only card remaining in Dark Yugi's hand.

"Turn end!"

"My turn! Draw!" declared Dark Yugi.

"Even if he has Osiris he has to wait another turn to Summon it because he has only two monsters on the field" thought Nitemare.

"I activate Blockman's effect!" declared Dark Yugi "For each passed turn he has been on the field, I can split him up into that many number of monsters!"

"Impossible!"

"Two turns are passed, which means I separate him into two!"

Blockman divided himself and his Lego pieces assembled again, this time in two monsters.

"Next I sacrifice my three monsters!"

Nitemare started to tremble as he saw the giant red dragon manifest before him in place of Black Magician and the two Blockmen (ATK: X000).

"I Summon Sky Dragon Osiris!"

"Osiris…" observed Nitemare "His attack power is based on the number of cards you have in your hand"

"True" answered Dark Yugi "I have one right now, so he has 1000 attack power, but if I play this: Treasure Cards from the Heavens!"

All of a sudden a light appeared on the roof above them.

"This card allows us to draw until we each have six cards in our hands!"

The three Duelists made their draws.

"So what?!" asked Nitemare "Osiris now has 6000 attack power, but Ra has 6100! Perhaps you should work better with your math, Nameless Pharaoh!"

"Don't worry, I'm not mistaking" said Dark Yugi smiling "I Set one rverse card! Turn end!"

Nitemare looked confused. "He has decreased Osiris's attack power by his own will. Why?" he thought "No matter. Even though that's a Trap Card, those don't work against God. My turn! Ra attacks Osiris with God Blaze Cannon!"

Ra fired his attack against Osiris, but Yugi reacted.

"Reverse card open, Raise Dead!"

"What?!"

"This card brings back one monster from the graveyard!"

"I got it! You're going to bring back Obelisk from my graveyard!"

"Wrong. I'll choose to bring back Duos from Seto's graveyard!"

The winged warrior appeared one again.

"So you really want to die, huh?" said Nitemare "Ra, attack Duos!"

As Ra fired his attack, Nitemare realized in horror that the two Duelists were smiling.

"I activate Duos' effect!" declared Dark Yugi "He can absorb the power of his comrades, raising his own attack power!"

"You're kidding!"

"By sacrificing Osiris, now Duos has 6800 attack power, more than enough to take down Ra" explained Seto smirking.

"Duos, attack with Soul Sword!" declared both Dark Yugi and Seto.

The winged monster slashed Ra with his sword and destroyed it.

"Grrr… I Set one reverse card! Turn end!" declared Nitemare "My reverse card is another Curse of Darkness. As long as he attacks I'll freeze him with my Magic Card"

"My turn!" declared Seto drawing "Activate Magic Card, Raise Dead! I bring back Curse of Dragon from Yugi's graveyard!"

The yellow dragon appeared once again.

"Next Magic Card activate, Enemy Controller!"

A console appeared in front of Seto.

"By paying 1000 Life Points I can take control of Duos!" explained Seto imputing commands on the console "Left, Right, A, B!"

Duos went to Seto's field alongside Curse of Dragon.

"Next Magic Card Fusion!" declared the CEO "I fuse Duos and Curse of Dragon!"

The Fusion Monster consisted of a white monster which resembled Duos, but had his face covered in a helmet that resembled Curse of Dragon's head (ATK: 2700).

"I Summon Duos Dragon!"

"It doesn't matter! That monster cannot attack this turn!" said Nitemare.

"Are you sure?" smirked Seto "Reverse card open, Quick Attack! This allows my Fusion monster attack instantly!"

Duos Dragon rushed towards Nitemare, which reacted.

"Reverse Magic activate, Curse of Darkness!"

"Not this time!" declared the CEO "Reverse card open, Magic Removal!"

Seto's last reverse card opened and Curse of Darkness disappeared.

"This card cancels your Magic Card, so my Duos Dragon can continue his attack!"

The Fusion Monster slashed Nitemare with his sword and came back to the CEO's field.

"Now it's my turn! Draw" declared Dark Yugi "Activate Magic Card, Soul Taker! This card allows me to sacrifice Seto's monster, but he'll gain 1000 Life Points!"

"But… that means…"

"That's right" smirked Dark Yugi "I can use Duos Dragon as two sacrifices"

Duos Dragon disappeared and in front of the Nameless Pharaoh a purple swordsman appeared (ATK: 2600).

"I Summon Buster Blader!"

Nitemare simply grunted.

"Next Magic Card Double Magic!" declared Dark Yugi "This card allows me to activate any Magic Card that was activated last turn, as long as I activate them in succession"

"What?!"

Three cards appeared in front of Dark Yugi.

"First: Raise Dead! Come back, Black Magician!"

The Pharaoh's ace monster came back to the field.

"Second: Fusion! Fuse Black Magician and Buster Blader!"

The two monsters fused together, forming a monster with a blue coat similar to Black Magician's and a sword similar to Buster Blader's (ATK: 2900).

"Come out, Black Paladin!"

Now Nitemare was starting to be frightened.

"And third: Quick Attack! So now my Fusion Monster can attack this turn!"

"Big deal!" said Nitemare "I'll still have 1700 Life Points after that!"

"Not quite" said Dark Yugi "First, my Black Paladin will gain 500 attack power for each Dragon on the field and in the Graveyard! With Blue-Eyes and Curse of Dragon, are 1000 more points! Next Equip Magic Lightning Sword, increasing my Paladin's attack by 800 more points!"

Nitemare stood there, realizing he was about to lose.

"Time to die, Nitemare!" declared Dark Yugi "Black Paladin attacks directly!"

The Fusion Monster fired a magic attack from his sword and hit a screaming Nitemare, making him disappear.

"You did it!" cried Anzu after a second of silence.

Dark Yugi nodded and gave a thumbs up, but then he fainted, his wounds starting to take effect.

---

When Yugi opened his eyes, he was on his bed, Anzu, Jonouchi and Honda looking at him.

"What… happened?" asked the boy weakily.

"After you defeated Nitemare, you passed out" explained Anzu "Mokuba is safe: his soul was returned after Nitemare was defeated. Then the shrine started to collapse, so all of us got out and managed to save ourselves. I don't know what happened to Bakura, because it was nowhere to be seen"

"I highly doubt he's dead" said the Pharaoh to Yugi through their mind connection, getting a nod from the latter.

"Afterwards, Seto brought us here back again with his blimp" finished Anzu.

Yugi smiled at his friends: he was glad not only that he managed to save the world from destruction, but the fact that no one got hurt. All of a sudden Dark Yugi took over.

"Guys, I'm so glad we did it" he said "And I have to tell you that I was very happy to share this last adventure with you"

"What do you mean?" asked Jonouchi.

"When I'll fully recover from the Shadow Game's wound, I'll go to Egypt again and fulfill my destiny"

"You mean…" started Anzu.

"Yes. I may not return again"

Everyone stood there without talking.
