Chapter 27: Foreshadowing
"Go, Yusuke!" Joey and Keiko shouted.
Yusuke turned back and flashed his friend and girlfriend a smile and a thumbs-up. Then he faced his opponent. "Are you ready, Kaiba?"
"Let me make a couple modifications to my deck and then we can start." Kaiba said, walking away from the arena.
"I'll be ready when you are." Yusuke slid his deck into his Duel Disk and activated it.
Kaiba finally completed his deck and took a ready stance.
"This is it," Kuwabara said
"Hey I didn't think I'll see you guys here,"
Everyone turned to see a blonde haired fifteen year old boy, behind them, "Hey it's you," Syrus said, "Reginald."
Reginald smiled and waved, "Hi!" then spotted Yugi, "It's you, Yugi Muto!"
Yugi nodded, "Hi!"
Reginald rushed towards Yugi, "I can't believe it, the King of Games, right before my very eyes! What are you doing here?"
"I'm watching my cousin's duel with Kaiba."
Reginald turned to see Yusuke in the arena, "What!" he gawked, "Urameshi's your cousin!"
"That's right." Yugi said, "He's entering Duel Academy in the fall."
"Hey Reggie, you know who I am, right?" Joey asked, with hope.
Reginald blinked twice as he looked at the blonde duelist, "Um….sorry no I don't!"
Joey pulled an anime fall, "I'm 'Jumping' Joey Wheeler, runner-up in Duelist Kingdom and Finalist of the Battle City Tournament and KC Championships!" he gawked
Reginald thought about it for a bit, "No I can't see that I have," he said
Joey moaned, "I tell ya, I get no respect!" he whined.
Kaiba and Yusuke didn't say a word to each other, but simply nodded and drew five cards from their decks. "Duel!" they shouted (KLP: 8000/YLP: 8000)
"Ore no time, draw!" Kaiba said, drawing a card. "I'll summon Ryu-Kishin Powered in attack mode!" a red gargoyle appears on the field (ATK: 1600), "And I'll lay two cards face-down and end my turn!"
Yugi gasped sharply, "I remember this move," he said
"Yeah, it's the same move that Kaiba pulled on me, while back," Joey said, "I bet ya dat Kaiba's gonna do the same thing that he did to me to Yusuke."
"What move?" Kuwabara asked
"Those face-downs are possibly Shrink and Crush Card." Joey answered
"Crush Card!" Keiko said. "That's a trap that destroys every one of your opponent's monster with attack points over 1400."
"That's right," Tea said, "My guess that Kaiba is going to destroy Yusuke's most powerful monsters in his deck."
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke draws his first card, "I'll summon Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode!" Gearfried the Iron Knight (ATK: 1800), "Now Gearfried attack his Ryu-Kishin Powered with Metal Forearm Thrust!" Gearfried charges towards the gargoyle.
"Face-down cards go!" Kaiba shouted, as two of his cards opened up, "First up is my Shrink spell card, it cuts my monster's attack points by half (ATK: 1600)-(ATK: 800)."
Gearfried slices Kaiba's monster in half with ease (KLP: 8000)-(KLP: 7000). "Next my Crush Card activates, when a Dark monster with 1000 or less attack points is destroyed in battle, this card destroys every monster with 1500 or more attack points on your field, in your hand, and in your deck."
"I knew it!" Yugi shouted
"That would mean that every one of Yusuke's most powerful monsters will be destroyed even before Yusuke gets to use them!" Kagome added
"Which is why I won't let it activate," Yusuke said, pulling a card from his hand and slid it in the slot. "I activate my spell card, Trap Booster!"
"No way!" Kaiba exclaimed
"Now by discarding one card from my hand to the graveyard," Yusuke started, placing a card in the grave slot, "I can play a Trap Card from my hand and the card in question is Seven Tools of the Bandit! It may cost me 1000 Life Points (YLP: 8000)-(YLP: 7000), but it lets me negate and destroy your Trap Card."
Kaiba smirked, "Good job, Yusuke," he said, "You've found a way to destroy my virus card on the first turn, but it's gonna take more than that to beat me."
"I know that and I end my turn," Yusuke said.
"Awesome!" Keiko cheered, "Yusuke managed to avoid Kaiba's virus."
"But he hasn't won the duel, yet," Zane said
"Ore no time, draw!" Kaiba draws a card from his hand. "I play the Magic card White Dragon Ritual."
"Uh! Oh!" Yusuke said.
"Paladin of White Dragon is going to make his big appearance," Syrus panicked, "And after Paladin goes Blue-Eyes White Dragon comes."
"By sacrificing Des Feral Imp from my hand, I can summon Paladin of White Dragon (ATK: 1900)." Out of the image of the Spell card came a knight dressed in white armor riding a baby Blue-Eyes.
"Now Paladin of White Dragon attack Ionic Spear Burst!"
At Kaiba's command, Paladin charges towards Gearfried as he turned into rushing force and hits the Iron Knight and destroys it. (YLP: 7000)-(YLP: 6900)
"And I'm not done with you, yet," Kaiba said, as Paladin returns to his true form and returns to Kaiba's side of the field, "By sacrificing Paladin, I can now summon another monster from my hand or deck and it's one that you've already meet, care to guess which, Yusuke!"
Yusuke grunts in reply, "Actually no," he replied
Kaiba grinned, "Let me give you a hint then, it has blue eyes, white scales, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Paladin and his baby dragon disappeared in a whirlwind and out of that whirlwind stepped Blue-Eyes White Dragon appears on the field, roaring at his appearance. (ATK: 3000)
"Oh crap!" Yusuke said, eying the sight of Blue-Eyes.
"Blue-Eyes has appeared!" Kuwabara appeared, "Which means that Urameshi's in for it!"
"Luckily, Kaiba can't attack with his Blue-Eyes this turn," Kurama said, "Which means that Yusuke's safe."
"For now, that is," Zane said.
"It's your move," Kaiba said.
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke draws his card. "I'll activate Pot of Greed, now I can draw two cards from my deck." Yusuke draws two cards, "I'll place this face-down and summon Cyber Tutu in attack mode!" Cyber Tutu (ATK: 1000), "Next I'll equip her with Angel Wing!" Cyber Tutu grew Angel Wings from behind her back.
The boys, except of Zane, Joey, Tristan and Yugi were flabbergasted at this, "Urameshi, what are you doing?" Kuwabara asked, with disbelief, "That's a ballerina and ballerinas can't fight a dragon much less than a Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"Your friend is right, Yusuke," Kaiba said, "My Blue-Eyes is three times stronger than yours, even with wings!"
"Whoever said anything about my monster attacking your Blue-Eyes," Yusuke said, "My Cyber Tutu has a talent that allows her to attack my opponent directly as long as my opponent has a monster that is stronger than her."
"What……"
"Now Cyber Tutu attack with Pounding Piroutette!" Cyber Tutu flew towards Kaiba and roundhouse kicked him in the face. Kaiba gave a loud grunt as Cyber Tutu went back to her owner side (KLP: 7000)-(KLP: 6000)
"Oh there's Angel Wings special effect, whenever it attacks an opponent directly, it inflicts 300 points to your life points." Yusuke said.
Kaiba (KLP: 6000)-(KLP: 5700) grunts at this, "I'll end my turn now." Yusuke said.
"Ore no time, draw!" Kaiba said, drawing his card, "I'll summon Vorse Raider in attack mode!" a man eating beast with legs and a huge weapon appears (ATK: 1900), "Now Vorse Raider attack his Cyber Tutu now!"
Vorse Raider charges towards the scared ballerina, "Go Trap Card," Yusuke said, "Blast with Chain! Now my Cyber Tutu's attack strength is increased by 500 points!" a rocket was attached to Cyber Tutu and a chain with a spike in her hands (ATK: 1000)-(ATK: 1500)
"That won't be enough to stop Vorse Raider's attack!" Kaiba said. Vorse Raider slices up Cyber Tutu and destroys it.
Yusuke (YLP: 6900)-(YLP: 6500) shields himself from the explosion impact, "I'm glad you did that whenever a monster equipped with Angel Wings is destroyed, I can draw one card from my deck." Yusuke said, as he drew a card.
"You'll need it," Kaiba said, "Blue-Eyes att……" Kaiba was interrupted, when his dragon explodes.
Yusuke snickers at this, "Oh did I forget to mention about Blast with Chain's other effect? Whenever this card is an equip card and destroyed, I get to destroy one monster, spell and trap card on the field."
"All right!" Syrus cheered
"Yusuke took out Kaiba's Blue-Eyes!" Kira added
"But it's not over yet," Joey said.
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke said, drawing a card. "I'll summon Dark Blade in attack mode and equip him with Divine Sword-Phoenix Blade to increase his power by 300 points!" a black clad warrior, with a red cape with a twin jagged swords and one of them has a phoenix-shaped tilt. (ATK: 1800)-(ATK: 2100)
"Now Dark Blade attack his Vorse Raider now!" Yusuke commanded as his monster charges towards Vorse Raider and chops him to pieces.
Kaiba (KLP: 5700)-(KLP: 5500) grunts as one of his most powerful monster are destroyed, "That ends my turn."
"Ore no time, draw!" Kaiba drew a card and looked at it with satisfaction. "I set one card on the field and a monster facedown."
Two holographic cards joined the one already on the field.
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke said. He drew a card and slipped it into his Duel Disk. "I play Command Knight in attack mode." A female knight appears on the field (ATK: 1200). "Thanks to her special ability, I can increase the attack strength of every other warrior on the field." Both of Yusuke's monster were powered up (Dark Blade ATK: 2100)-(ATK: 2500) (Command Knight ATK: 1200)-(ATK: 1600), "Now, Dark Blade, attack his facedown monster."
The warrior rushed towards the card image, which flipped up to reveal a metallic orb with a single green domed eye and a wide smile (ATK: 900). "What the hell! Cyber Jar," Yusuke said. "That monster's ability destroys every monster on the field."
"That's right," Kaiba said, "Now say goodbye to your monsters!"
The metal pod exploded, sending shrapnel through all of Yusuke's monsters and destroying them. "Cyber Jar also has another effect," Kaiba said. "We take the top five cards from our deck and summon any monsters with four or less Level stars."
"No duh," Yusuke said. He drew five cards and picked three of them. "I summon three monsters in facedown defense mode."
Kaiba grimaced as two holographic cards appeared on the field. "I summon Rare Metal Dragon and Y-Dragon Head," he said. Before him appeared two dragons, a black one with metallic shining skin (ATK: 2400) and a red robotic one (ATK: 1500).
"I'll lay two face-downs and that will end my turn," Yusuke said.
"Yusuke's face-down cards must have low attack points," Atsuko said.
"But they could have a high defense points." Solomon said
"Ore no time draw," Kaiba said, "I'll sacrifice my weak Y-Dragon Head in order to summon Kaiser Glider." The red robot was replaced by a hulking yellow dragon (ATK: 2400)
Yusuke's eyes widened, "Next I'll activate my Trap, Dragon's Rage! Now everytime that one of my dragons attack one of your monster that has defense points lower than mine, the difference will be subtracted from your life points."
"Oh crap……" Yusuke said.
"Kaiser Glider," Kaiba commanded, "attack the leftmost monster." Kaiser Glider shot a yellow fireball out of his mouth. The fire reached Yusuke's monster and engulfed it.
"Thank you," Yusuke said with a smile. Inside the fire knelt D. D. Assailant (DEF: 1600). "Whenever my D.D. Assailant is destroyed as a result of battle, I get to remove from play the monster that destroyed him, along with D.D. Assailant."
Kaiser Glider has disappeared, "But you still lose life points thanks to my Trap Card," Kaiba said.
True to Kaiba's words, Yusuke's life points went down (YLP: 6500)-(YLP: 5700)
"Rare Metal Dragon, attack the middle monster." His dragon quickly tore through Yusuke's Rocket Warrior. Yusuke winced as his life points went further down. (YLP: 5700)-(YLP: 4600) "That ends my turn."
"Ore no time, draw," Yusuke said, drawing a card. "I set one monster in defense mode and play a face-down and end my turn."
"Ore no time, draw," Kaiba said, drawing a card, "I summon Spear Dragon in attack mode." The blue bat-winged dragon with a sharp nose (ATK: 1900) flapped onto the field next to the other dragons. "It inflicts damage to your Life Points even when your monster is in defense mode. Spear Dragon, attack his face-down card on the left! My Rare Metal Dragon will take care of your other monsters."
Spear Dragon fired a tornado burst from its mouth and towards the card, "Go Trap Card, Negate Attack, this cancels out your attack and ends your Battle Phase!" Spear Dragon's tornado had died out
Kaiba grimaced, "I'll place one face-down card and end my turn."
"It looks like Kaiba has the upper hand," Tea said.
"Come on, Yusuke," Keiko said under her breath.
Reginald eyed Keiko for a bit and turned to the duel.
"Ore no time, draw," Yusuke drew a card from his deck, "Then I'll sacrifice two face-down monster cards to summon my Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight." A knight carrying two spears appears onto Yusuke's field riding on a purple horse. (ATK: 2300)
"Your knight is 100 shy of attack points to defeat my Rare Metal Dragon," Kaiba said.
"I know," Yusuke said. "That's why I'm removing two warriors from the game thanks to the special ability of my Divine Sword-Phoenix Blade spell card." Yusuke's Divine Sword-Phoenix Blade, Rocket Warrior and Command Knight had slid from the graveyard slot. "Next, I'll equip my knight with Divine Sword to increase his attack by 300 points." One of Gaia's spears transformed to the divine sword. (ATK: 2300)-(ATK: 2600)
"Now Gaia, attack his Rare-Metal Dragon now!"
The Dark Knight's horse charges towards the black metal dragon, pulling his weapon back. Gaia quickly tore through the black metal dragon and returned to its place in front of Yusuke, after Kaiba lost life points (KLP: 5500)-(YLP: 5300). "That ends my turn."
"Not bad, but he needs to play his Blue-Eyes White Dragon, before Kaiba can play one of his" Reginald said.
"Too bad it's not in his deck," Kagome said, "Kaiba forbid us from using them in this duel."
"If that's the case, then Urameshi won't stand a chance against Kaiba," Reginald said
"Hold on," Yugi said, "A duel isn't over until the last card is played."
"Ore no time, draw," Kaiba said, drawing a card from his deck. "I move my Rare Metal Dragon to defense mode (DEF: 2200) and set one card," Kaiba said. "Your turn."
"Ore no time," Yusuke said. He glanced at the card he drew, slipped it into his hand, grabbed the card next to it, and set it on his Duel Disk. "I summon King's Knight in attack mode." The orange-armored warrior stood aside Gaia and held its sword at the ready (ATK: 1600).
"King's Knight," Yusuke said, "attack Spear Dragon." The knight leapt across the field and slashed through Kaiba's monster with one strike. "Now, Gaia, attack Kaiba directly!"
The dark knight raised its sword, "I activate Command Silencer," he said. A totem pole appeared and let out waves of screeching sound. Gaia's horse stopped in pain and everyone, including Gaia's horse and except for Kaiba and Yusuke winced. "This negates your attack and lets me draw one card." He pulled his card and grimaced.
"I end my turn," Yusuke said as the screeching noise died away.
"Ore no time, draw!" Kaiba drew another card and then smiled. "It's time to repay you for destroying my Blue-Eyes earlier with your Trap Card," he said. He picked a card from his hand and placed it in his Duel Disk. "I play the Spell Card Soul Exchange. This lets me sacrifice your Gaia so I can summon my Luster Dragon #2."
"I activate Mystical Rift Panel," Yusuke said. A purple fairy materialized and caught the reflection of Kaiba's Spell Card in her mirror. "This lets me control your Spell Card, so instead of my Gaia, you sacrifice my King's Knight."
The orange knight dissolved and flowed into Kaiba's Soul Exchange card, that's on Kaiba's side and a brilliant green dragon awoke in front of Kaiba (ATK: 2400), "I set one card face-down and end my turn."
"Ore no time, draw!", Yusuke drew a card and added it to his hand. "Your face-down don't scare me," he said, pulling out another card from his hand. "Gaia, attack his Luster Dragon."
Kaiba smiled. "Go Negate Attack," he said. "Your Battle Phase has ended."
Yusuke smiled. "I end my turn."
"Ore no time, draw," Kaiba said. "I set one card facedown and play Spell Reproduction, now I'll sacrifice two spell cards to bring a spell card from the graveyard to my hand." Kaiba sends two spell cards from his hand and a card slid out of his grave slot. "The card I brought out is Shrink and I'll use it on your dark knight to cut his attack points in half!"
Gaia is shrunk down a bit (ATK: 2600)-(ATK: 1300). "Next, I'll summon Blade Knight in attack mode," A light blue armored knight appears on the field (ATK: 1600) "Now, his attack is increased by 400 because I only have one card in my hand (ATK: 1600)-(ATK: 2000). Blade Knight, attack Gaia."
The medieval knight charges towards Gaia and cuts the dark knight to pieces (YLP: 4600)-(YLP: 3900) Blade Knight returns to his owner's side, "Now, Luster Dragon attack Yusuke directly!"
Luster Dragon hurls its attack towards Yusuke, "Go Trap Card, Draining Shield, now your monsters attack is negated and increases my life points!" (YLP: 3900)-(YLP: 6300)
Kaiba growled. "That ends my turn."
"Ore no time, draw," Yusuke said. "I activate Harpie's Feather Duster to destroy every card on your side of the field."
Kaiba grimaced as all of his cards were destroyed by the mighty feather tempest, "Now I'll summon Marauding Captain (DEF: 400) in defense mode! Next, I'll activate my captain's special effect to summon another warrior monster to the field and the monster in question is Mataza the Zapper (DEF: 800) in defense, then I'll place a face-down and end my turn." Right by the 15th century captain, a samurai with green armor appears on the field, kneeling on one knee.
"Ore no time, draw!" Kaiba drew a card. "I play Card of Demise," he said. "Now I draw until I hold five cards, and then after five turns must discard my entire hand." He smiled as he looked over the cards he'd drawn. "Next I play the Magic card Awakening from Beyond. This lets me return my Blue-Eyes from my Graveyard to my hand."
"And I get to draw two cards," Yusuke said, taking two from his deck.
"You'll need them," Kaiba said. "I'll summon Lord of Dragons (ATK: 1200) to the field and play the spell card Flute of Summoning Dragon." A cloaked wizard wearing dragon bone armor appeared on the field holding a horn engraved with a dragon's head. He brought the horn to his lips and a pure sound resounded around the dome. "This allows me summon two Dragons from my hand. Now I'll summon my two Blue-Eyes to the field (ATK: 3000)x2."
Kaiba's two dragons roared and sending waves of power towards Yusuke. 'So that's how it is,' he thought, glancing again at the cards in his hand.
"Yusuke," Keiko said, seeing her boyfriend as he is hopelessly facing two of the most powerful monsters in Duel Monsters.
"I still have options, Kaiba," Yusuke said.
"Humph. Lord of Dragons, attack his Marauding Captain."
One punch took care of Yusuke's captain. "Blue-Eyes, attack Mataza with White Lightning!"
A burst of white energy came rushing at Mataza and engulfing him, "Now Blue-Eyes, direct attack!" The second Blue-Eyes hurls down its attack at Yusuke. "Guess again," he said, taking the card and sliding it into his Graveyard. "The monster I discarded was Kuriboh, and I can discard it to reduce the damage from one of your attacks."
A cluster of furry Kuribohs sprung up in front of Yusuke and took the brunt of Kaiba's attack.
"I end my turn with a face-down card," Kaiba said.
"Ore no time, draw," Yusuke drew a card, noted it with interest, it was Winged Kuriboh, 'Winged Kuriboh, I may need your help,' he thought
"I summon Winged Kuriboh in defense mode," Yusuke announced. A Kuriboh with small white wings (DEF: 200) popped out of the holographic card in front of him and waved at the crowd.
"How cute," Tea commented.
"No kidding," Yuki added.
"Next I'll activate Monster Reborn to summon Gearfried the Iron Knight (ATK: 1800). Next, I'll activate Release Restraint to summon Gearfried the Swordmaster." A tribal man with muscles and long raven hair appears on the field next to Winged Kuriboh (ATK: 2600), "Now I'll equip my sword master with Fusion Sword Murasame Blade to increase his attack by 800." (ATK: 2600)-(ATK: 3400)
"Then, there's my monster special ability, whenever he's equipped with a card, he automatically destroys one monster on your side of the field and I choose your Lord of Dragons."
Lord of Dragons has disappeared, "Now my sword master attack now!" Gearfried charges towards one of the two Blue-Eyes on the left, "Go Draining Shield, now it negates your attack and I gain life points equal to your Sword Master's attack points!" (KLP: 5300)-(KLP: 8700)
"Urg…Damn it!" Yusuke cursed, "I end my turn."
"Damn it," Joey cursed, "Kaiba's life points are more than he started with!"
"Ore no time, draw," Kaiba drew his card and smirked at the sight of the card. "Just the card I needed," he said. "I activate my facedown Polymerization to summon my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon."
"What?" Yusuke shouted. "No fucking way!"
"I'm afraid so," Kaiba replied. Beside the two Blue-Eyes on the field appeared a third Blue-Eyes. Then the three dragons melded together to form the three-headed powerhouse of Kaiba's deck (ATK: 4500).
"My Ultimate Dragon," Kaiba shouted, "use your Neutron Blast to annihilate Yusuke's monster!"
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon blasts a triple white blast at Gearfried, engulf him (YLP: 6300)-(YLP: 5200)
"Now I'll remove Blade Knight and Des Feral Imp from my Graveyard to summon Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (ATK: 3000)." A turquoise dragon with red hair and white bone armor arose next to Kaiba. "Now, I pay 1000 Life Points (KLP: 8700)-(KLP: 7700) so that Chaos Emperor Dragon can destroy every card on the field and in our hands and do 300 points of damage to your Life Points for each card destroyed."
Flames formed in the Chaos Dragon's mouth and then flooded out towards Yusuke, engulfing every other card along the way, "I'll activate Divine Wind," Yusuke said. "This sends any effect damage back at you with twice the strength."
A strong wind blew up behind Yusuke and directed the flames back at Kaiba, as he took the last card in his hand, and slipped it into his Duel Disk. "I thought you might have something like that, kid," he said. "I play Ring of Defense to protect my Life Points from effect damage for this turn."
The spinning fan unfolded in front of Kaiba and the flames had died out
"I'll play Monster Reborn to summon back my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (ATK: 4500) one face-down card and that ends my turn." Kaiba said
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke draws a card from his deck
"Activate Trap Card," Kaiba said. "Virus Cannon!"
"Oh no!" Yusuke shouted
There were several sharp gasps, "This is bad," Kari said, "Now Yusuke has to send 10 of his Spell Cards in deck to the graveyard." Kurama added.
Yusuke searches through his deck and pulled out ten cards out and places them in the graveyard. "I'll play Card of Demise, now I get to draw until I'm holding five cards and in five turns I have to discard my entire hand." Yusuke draws until he's holding five cards, "Next, Graceful Charity, this allows me to draw three cards and discard two cards." Yusuke draws three cards and discards two, "Next I'll play Silent Doom, now I get to summon one monster from my graveyard in defense mode and I summon The Trojan Horse!" a wooden horse appears on the field on his hide legs. (DEF: 1200)
"That won't be enough to save you from my Ultimate Dragon." Kaiba said
"I know," Yusuke said, "If I get to choose to summon an Earth monster, I get to use my horse's ability as two sacrifices to summon forth Gilford the Legend (ATK: 2600)!"
"It's Gilford the Legend!" Syrus gawked.
"Urameshi's best monster!" Kuwabara added.
"With a special ability to boot," Kurama said.
"That monster is weak, but dueling your cousin has taught me something, Yusuke." Kaiba said, "Never understatement your opponents!"
"Then, you're a good listener, because I'm going to activate my Gilford's ability to gain equip spell cards from the graveyard to increase it's power!"
"What!"
"First up, is my Wicked-Breaking-Flamberge--Baou gives my monster a 500 power bonus." Gilford's sword gets bigger (ATK: 2600)-(ATK: 3100). "Next up, my Lightning Blade increases my monsters attack by 800!" (ATK: 3100)-(ATK: 3900) "Then, my Fusion Sword Murasame Blade gives another 800 points!" (ATK: 3900)-(ATK: 4700) "Next, My Divine Sword-Phoenix Blade gives my monster a 300 power bonus!" (ATK: 4700)-(ATK: 5000) "And the last equip card, or should I say trap equip card, is Blast With Chain, which gives my monster a power bonus of 500!" (ATK: 5000)-(ATK: 5500) Gilford's sword is now larger than himself
"5500 attack points……" Kaiba was shaking in fear as he was looking at Yusuke's monster, which's going to take down his dragon, "Now Gilford attack that Ultimate Dragon with Overload Slash!" Gilford blasted Kaiba's dragon (KLP: 7700)-(KLP: 6700), "I'll place this face-down and call it quits."
"Good job, Yusuke!" he said, "You aren't the only one who as destroyed my Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon."
"Let me guess, Yugi destroyed it before," I said
"That's right," Kaiba said. "However, the duel still on, ore no time, draw," Kaiba said, whipping a card from his deck. He smiled when he saw that it was just the one he needed. Unknown to Kaiba, the card was glowing purple, "I play the Magic card Premature Burial. For the cost of 800 Life Points (KLP: 6700)-(KLP: 5900), I can bring one of the monsters in my Graveyard back to the field."
The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon snarled and shifted nervously in front of Gilford. "But its still going to be blasted next turn," Yusuke said
"This is why I will make my dragon evolve into a stronger monster." Kaiba said.
'A stronger monster?' Yugi thought. 'Could it be…?'
"I sacrifice my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to summon the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon," Kaiba shouted. The Ultimate Dragon's skin cracked, letting out shafts of brilliant white light, and then shattered to reveal a glimmering mechanical Blue-Eyes (ATK: 3000). It shrieked for the others and hovered in front of Kaiba.
"What's that!" Kuwabara asked
"Beats me," Syrus replied
"It's Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon," Kurama said, "Kaiba's best monster."
"Isn't that monster weaker than his Ultimate Dragon?" Kuwabara asked.
"Yes," Yugi said, "but it gains more power from the dragons in Kaiba's Graveyard by 300 points."
"But the many dragons in Kaiba's Graveyard can't be strong enough for his Shining Dragon to destroy Yusuke's monster." Keiko said.
Kaiba said, "Since there are eight dragons in my Graveyard, so my Shining Dragon gains 2400 more attack points!" The dragon's power conduits glowed bluer and its shriek sounded deeper and more powerful as its attack points climbed (ATK: 5400).
"That monster is still weaker than mine." Yusuke said.
"I'm not done yet," Kaiba said, "Next I'll double my dragon's attack points with Double Up to my dragon."
The dragon shrieks once more as it becomes even more stronger (ATK: 5400)-(ATK: 10800)
"That's stronger than Yusuke's monster!" Joey exclaimed.
"Not only that," Kira said, "It has enough power to defeat Yusuke now."
"Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon," Kaiba said, "attack with Shining Neutron Blast."
-In the White Hall-
"Yes," Sartorious said, looking at his purple aura hand, "It's only a matter of time, until Yusuke Urameshi belongs with me."
-In the Duel Dome-
The dragon powers up its attack and fires at Gilford, "Go Trap Card," Yusuke said, "Mirror Force! Not only your attack is stopped, but it destroys your dragon in the process."
Kaiba smirked, "I really hate to say this, but Trap Cards won't work on my Shining Dragon."
"WHAT!" Yusuke yelled, as his cried out and vanished in a flood of brilliant blue energy. Yusuke screams as his life points hits zero and a rush of light hits him hard. The ex-spirit detective stood motionless as his hair wasn't gelled, anymore, his clothes were covered with virtual smoke and the holograms faded.
"Yusuke!" his family, friends and girlfriend gawked
Yusuke winced as his cards suddenly shot out of his duel disk and rained down all around him.
"His cards!" Keiko, Kira, Kari, Kuwabara, Yugi, Kurama and Syrus gawked
Yusuke noticed that all of his cards were spread out on the ground, "My cards… Something's not right…" Yusuke gasped as he fell backwards, knocked out.
"What just happened?" Joey asked
"Urameshi fainted!" Kuwabara said.
"Oh no! Yusuke!" Atsuko, Keiko, Kari, Kagome and Kira ran out the room, to aid the fallen boy
"Oh man, it's happening again." Ayumi said
"You mean the same thing that happened with Kagome is happening to Yusuke, right now." Mai asked.
"Yeah," Eri replied
Reginald made his way out, "Hey Reggie, where are you going?" Tristan asked
"I have to go home now," Reginald said, "My mother's probably worrying about me, see you guys later."
However, Kurama, Zane and Hiei eyed the blonde's retreating back, knowing that something was strange about that kid. Reginald made it deep in the hallways and pulled out a cell phone.
"Hello."
"Master Sartorious, Urameshi has lost the duel."
"Yes Reginald, I've found it out already, now it's on to phase two of the plan."
Reginald smirked, "Perfect."
