8. World Cup Finals

Chapter 8

When Marshmallon, Winged Kuriboh, and Eggy returned from their encounter with Egg, they headed back to their hotel room and crashed on the bed and couch. They played a few video games that were included in the hotel, and played Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game in the living room. They knew that, from the announcements and NASDAQ, that the finals of the World Cup would be held the next day. Yugi had very narrowly missed defeat many times, but pulled through. Egg, Eggy's father, would be Dueling against Yugi tomorrow.

"I wonder who will win." mused Kuriboh. "From what we know of Yugi's deck, a 'Royal Decree' would probably cost him the duel, if Yugi doesn't have a MST or something."

"But the thing is, 'Royal Decree' is a very hard card to create, even harder than . . . than .. everything!" protested Marshmallon.

"Well, gee. This is Egg that we're talking about. Maybe he made one." said Kuriboh.

"Guys, I created a new card!" called Eggy from his disk-making device. "Come and see!"

Purple smoke was everywhere in the room, and as Marshmallon and Kuriboh went inside, Eggy was standing at his disk-making machine, holding a green disk. "It's a disk called . . ." he frowned as he looked at the label. "That's weird. I thought I programmed it to be called 'Book of Staying Alive'. Well, now it's called 'Marshmallon Life Force'.

"What does it do?" asked Marshmallon, suspicious of the disk. "Will it blow up, or let us escape, or-"

"It keeps us alive no matter what happens." said Eggy proudly. "Even if Tragoedia himself came along and blasted us or tried to possess us, he'd fail. But the only thing is, this thing's got a really long recharge time. If I activate it, it won't be ready for a month!"

"Cool!" exclaimed Kuriboh. "Then we won't get vaporized from making contact with Marshozite, then?"

Eggy hesitated. "I guess . . ." he said slowly. "But I haven't tested it yet, I'm just reading what the machine says. Just in case it doesn't work, I don't think that we should use it unless in an emergency."

"Well, we'd better crash. We don't want to miss the finals!" said Kuriboh as he glanced at the clock, which read '11:32 pm'. Marshmallon nodded and started to prepare for bed. Eggy continued to work on his disk, trying to perfect it and shorten the recharge time.

The next day, Marshmallon woke up to NASDAQ announcing that the final duel would be beginning in one hour. He bolted out of bed and began to order breakfast. "Hurry up! The duel's gonna start soon!" Winged Kuriboh and Eggy instantly got up, not wanting to miss who the champion of this World Cup would be. a couple minutes later, the group was all dressed and eating breakfast as fast as possible. The eggs and bacon were delicious. The gang hurried to the door, trying to get a good seat in the stadium.

"Duel Code: FINALS. Commence Time: At 1050 Hours. Duelists: Yugi:TRAP VS Egg:EGBD" said NASDAQ.

The trio found a seat in Stadium A, bought a bunch of food, and waited for the Duel to begin. NASDAQ announced to the crowd again: "Duel Code: FINALS. Commence Time: 0060 seconds. Duelists: Yugi:TRAP VS Egg:EGBD." announced NASDAQ again.

"Who do you think is going to win?" asked Marshmallon.

"Honestly, I have no idea." said Eggy, shaking his head. "My dad is pretty strong, but it's been a long time since he dueled Yugi, and I'm not too sure that he set up enough countermeasures to win against Yugi. Hopefully he made a 'Royal Decree' to fend off Yugi's traps."

"Duel Commencing. TRAP vs EGBD. Location: Stadium A." said NASDAQ.

Yugi and Egg walked in from the ends of the stadium as the crowd cheered. The two duelists stopped at the edge of the dueling ring. They set up their Duel Disks and drew five cards each. More and more people were coming to the stadium now, filling up the seats and making lots of noise. Meanwhile, on the big stadium screen, A coin flipped and showed that Yugi would go first.

Yugi looked at his hand. "I set all cards face-down and end my turn!"

"Draw!" said Egg. He looked at his hand for a moment and said, "I set two cards face-down and one monster face-down!"

Yugi drew. "I activate Monster Supplier!"

Monster Supplier

TRAP/CONTINUOUS

Both players can have five extra monster Zones while this card is face-up on the field. When this card leaves the field, if any player has more that five monsters on the field, players destroy monsters until they have five, if more than five.

"Oh boy. Here we go again." said Marshmallon.

"I activate Royal Decree and chain it to Monster Supplier!" said Eggy, flipping a face-down card.

Royal Decree

TRAP/CONTINUOUS

Negate all other Trap effects while this card is face-up on the field.

"Yeah!" cheered Kuriboh. "He negated it!"

"Dark Bribe, Activate!" said Yugi.

Dark Bribe

TRAP/COUNTER

Negate one Spell/Trap card that your opponent activated, and destroy it. Your opponent draws one card.

"Well it won't matter that Yugi played Dark Bribe, Royal Decree will negate it!." said Kuriboh.

"Actually," contradicted Eggy, "Dark Bribe will negate Royal Decree due to the spell speed."

"Spell Speed?" asked Marshmallon. "How does that have to do with anything?"

"So the last chain/card activated, in this case Dark Bribe, will activate first. Then Royal Decree, and lastly Monster Supplier."

"Oh." said Kuriboh. "Royal Decree will be negated?"

"Face-down card, reveal!" said Egg. "Eggbound Chains!"

Eggbound Chains

TRAP/COUNTER

When a card or effect is activated; while you have no face-up 'Eggbound' or 'Egg' monsters; you can reveal one 'Egg' or 'Eggbound' card in your hand, target the card, negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.

"I reveal Eggbound Summoner from my hand!" said Egg.

Eggbound Summoner

When this card is Summoned: You can Special Summon one 'Egg' or 'Eggbound' monster from your Deck or Hand, except for 'Eggbound Summoner' by revealing one 'Egg' or 'Eggbound' monster from your hand. This card cannot be used as a Synchro, Fusion, or Xyz Material Monster, except for the summon of an 'Egg' or 'Eggbound' Synchro, Fusion, or Xyz Monster.

"Shoot." said Yugi, gritting his teeth.

"Awesome!" said Kuriboh. "Royal Decree is fine now!"

"Yeah." said Marshmallon. "Eggbound Chains is a very powerful card."

"Turn end!" said Yugi.

"Draw! I summon Eggbound Summoner in Attack Position!" said Egg. "Using Eggbound Summoner's effect, I get to Special Summon one 'Egg' monster. And I summon EggUp by revealing Eggbound Immortal Kusillu!"

"I use Trap Hole on your Eggbound Summoner, and with Royal Decree negating it, it's wasted!" interrupted Yugi.

"What's the point to waste a perfectly good Trap Hole?" wondered Marshmallon.

"Maybe he has something that can destroy Royal Decree in his hand," suggested Kuriboh.

EggUp

"I use EggUp's effect to draw one card!" said Egg. "Then I end my turn."

"Draw!" said Yugi. "I play Mystical Space Typhoon from my hand and destroy Royal Decree!"

Mystical Space Typhoon

SPELL/QUICK-PLAY

Target one Spell/Trap card on the field, destroy that target.

Eggy paled. "I activate Eggbound Chains!" he said desperately. But nothing happened. The chains appeared, but the king yelled something from the castle, and the chains faded away almost instantly.

Yugi smirked. "Your Royal Decree negates all traps, remember?" The Royal Castle was destroyed by a storm.

"Now, I activate Reverse Ceasefire!" said Yugi.

Reverse Ceasefire

TRAP

When this card is activated, if there are two or less monsters on the field, inflict 500 damage for each unoccupied monster slot on the field to your opponent.

"Ooh . . ." said Marshmallon. "That's going to hurt."

"If Egg doesn't do something . . ." said Kuriboh, trailing off.

"I play my face-down, Switcheroo!" said Egg.

Switcheroo

TRAP/COUNTER

Activate only when your opponent activates a card or effect that would inflict damage to your Life Points. Negate the effect, and if you do, destroy it and gain Life Points equal to the amount of damage you would have taken.

Yugi grimaced. "Shoot. I ran out of negating cards for now . . ."

When an effect that would increase your Life Points is activated, except by the effect of 'Reversal Egg'; lose Life Points equal to the amount of damage you would have gained instead.

"Woah! Reversal Egg! Cool card!" said Kuriboh.

"Yep." Eggy confirmed. "My dad has some pretty interesting cards."

Marshmallon nodded. "Is he gonna Fusion, or Synchro, or Xyz Summon anything?"

"I think so." said Kuriboh. "After all, Eggbound Summoner and EggUp are all tuners, right?"

"Yes." said Eggy.

"I use EggUp's effect and add Egg Evolution to my hand!" said Egg.

Egg Evolution

SPELL/QUICK-PLAY

Fusion Summon one 'Egg' or 'Eggbound' Fusion Monster by using Fusion Materials from your hand or field. The monster Summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed by card effects.

Yugi shook his head in disbelief. "I can't believe I have to do this. It's been such a long time since I was forced to do this," he said, "but this Duel ends now! Face-down card, reveal! Self-Destruct Button!"

Self-Destruct Button

TRAP

Activate when you have less Life Points then your opponent and the difference is at least by 7000. Both players' Life Points become 0.

"Using Curse of the Greedy's effect, I draw five!" Egg's face fell. "Aw man, I was so close this time. . . ."

Egg revealed his hand and showed the crowd his hand. There was Eggbound Immortal Kusillu, Egg Evolution, Yolk of the Cracked One, Shellpiece of the Cracked One, Eggbound Summoner, Earthbound Immortal Cusillu, Eggbound World, Earthbound Linewalker, and Spirit of the Cracked One.

Marshmallon stared at the revealed cards. "Yep. It seems that his deck is Egg-themed with modifications from original cards, like Earthbound Immortals, Dragons . . ."

"What's the point of activating Curse of the Greedy if Yugi would tie the Duel either way?" wondered Kuriboh.

"My dad always prefers to end Duels on his own terms." answered Eggy. "He wanted to end the duel with his own card."

"Duel Result: T. TRAP VS EGBD. Next Duel, at 1500 hours. Duelists: Yugi VS Egg. Decks: TRAP VS EGBD. Type: FINALS. Current Time: 1200 hours." said NASDAQ.

"Wow." commented Kuriboh. "That was a very kinda boring but interesting duel."

"Yeah." said Marshmallon. "Although I think that if Egg realized that Eggbound Chains wouldn't work, he might've won be negating Self-Destruct Button."

The crowd began to leave the stadium, with some staying behind to wait awhile in hopes of keeping their seats. Marshmallon, Kuriboh, and Eggy left the stadium and headed for lunch at the nearest restaurant, the World Cup Cafe.
