Different Dimension Distortion
An eternal rivalry
And so we begin the duel. Dimitri had the deck that belonged to the king of games and Reiji had to use the deck that was given to him by Chancellor Sheppard. However before the duel began, Reiji spoke to an unknown voice. It said that he couldn't see it...well not yet and that Reiji would have to fight a war but he wouldn't be alone. He will have his own army heading over to fight by his side. Now we carry on back to the duel.
"DUEL!" said Reiji and Dimitri
"I don't understand, why would Dimitri go so far as to steal Yugi's deck?" said Syrus.
"It's simple Syrus, Dimitri is known for copying the decks of others and fixing their weaknesses. He wouldn't have much luck with it though since everyone could easily figure out their weaknesses. Just like how you found Dr. Crowlers weakness. But this time he's using Yugi's deck and Yugi's was never known for having any weaknesses." said Bastion folding his arms.
"So you're saying that Declan doesn't stand a chance?" said Syrus.
"Come on Syrus, don't forget that Declan has cards that not even Dimitri can figure out. I bet Declan can easily take him down. Go ahead, show em!" said Jaden.
"Thanks Jaden, now I begin my turn. Draw!" said Reiji. Reiji was observing his hand and checking the combos that he would be able to do. He was calm however that there was nothing too dangerous that would hurt his friends. That voice really made him guess since he heard that voice before and the war would endanger them. "(There's nothing I can do about that voice but I have to make sure that I protect them when the time comes. Right now, I need to get that deck back) I summon the Battle Ox! In Attack mode and that will do." said Reiji.

"What the? That's not Declan's card, where's his deck?" said Syrus.
"I'm not sure but for some reason, that card looks really familiar." said Bastion.
"Hey Declan, where's your deck?" said Jaden.
"Sorry guys, I needed to use another deck for now but don't worry guys, I can handle it." said Reiji.
"Can you?! I fuse Gazelle the King Mythical Beast and Berfomet to create, Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast!" said Dimitri. Just then a lion monster with a horn and monster with wings and goat horns fused to summon the monster with two heads and a snake tail.
Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast : 2100 Atk and 1800 Def
"Oh man! That thing is so much stronger then Declan's Battle Ox!" said Syrus.
"Yes it is and now let me show you it's power! Now go, Pulverizing Pounce!" said Dimitri. The monster then leaped into the air and sliced the Battle Ox in half.

"Oh man, Syrus you just duelled this guy. Got any advice for Declan?" said Chumley
"None, I tried everything and nothing worked!" said Syrus
"Are you saying that Declan doesn't stand a chance now?" said Jaden.
"Against Yugi's deck, that may be a posibility." said Bastion.
"It's my turn now and I activate the effect of my thunder dragon. By discarding it, I can add two more thunder dragons from my deck." said Reiji.
"Thunder Dragons? I don't understand, where are his DDD cards?" said Bastion.
"I guess he just doesn't want people to know about his deck right now. I guess I can understand but I hope he can handle this." said Jaden.
"Now I play polymerization! I fuse my two thunder dragons and summon, the twin-headed thunder dragon!" said Reiji. Just then the two green dragons started fusing to become a red dragon with a purple horn.
Twin-headed thunder dragon : 2800 Atk 2100 Def
"Wow, that's awesome! His monster's even stronger than Dimitri's!" said Syrus.
"That's it Dimitri, show him your power." said Jaden.
"Now go! Attack his Chimera with Twin Thunder Blast!" said Reiji pointing at Chimera. Just then the Thunder Dragon gathered it's power and blasted a strong electrical attack, destroying the chimera.
Dimitri LP : 3300
"My Chimera! You may have destroyed him but he will not leave without giving me a gift, I activate my Chimera's ability! When he is sent to the graveyard, I can special summon Berfomet from my graveyard in defence mode!" said Dimitri. Just then portal appeared summoning the monster with wings and goat horns.
Berfomet LP : 1400 Atk 1800 Def
"Sadly, he won't be staying for long. Next I activate the spell card, smashing ground which destroys your monster." said Reiji. Beformet was then crushed by a giant fist and destroyed.
"Well at least Declan was able to deal some damage and get rid of that Befomet." said Syrus.
"I know, Declan may not be using his own deck but he sure as heck won't let anyone beat him." Chumley.
"(Where have I seen those cards before? Declan's cards seem so familiar)" thought Bastion.

On field : Twin Thunder Dragon 2800 Atk 2100 Def
"I draw! For my turn, I set one card and play the spell Monster Reincarnation! By discarding one card, I add one monster from my graveyard! I choose Gazelle, the king of mythical beast! I summon him in attack mode and play the spell card, SWORDS OF REVEALING LIGHT!" said Dimitri. Just then everyone looked up to see a green light but as the light got closer, it was light swords which were being sent from the sky. The swords completely covered Reiji and his Twin Headed dragon.
"Hey what's going on?" said Jaden.
"Not his attack's that what! For three turns, your monsters will not be able to attack!" said Dimitri.

"Three turns! No way, how's Declan suppose to win with that spell card." said Syrus
"He has to either destroy the spell or wait for three turn." said Bastion
"(He's just trying to stall since he has no cards, I need to find a way to break his spell but right now I don't have anything that can destroy it. Maybe's it best to try and setup for now) I draw and I summon the Spear Dragon, in attack mode!" said Reiji. A blue dragon with blue skin and a sharp nose flew into the field in attack mode.
Spear Dragon : 1900 Atk 0 Def
"Spear Dragon? What good is a strong monster which can't attack?" said Syrus.
"I think I know what he's planning and if it works, Declan will have a great advantage." said Bastion.
"I see, your monster is important to you. Sadly for you, he won't be staying for long! I play a trap, the dark renewal. I can activate this when you summon a monster, now by sacrificing the monster you summoned and one monster I control. I can special summon a spell caster from the graveyard." said Dimitri.
"Hah, too bad you ain't got any! By my count, you should only have Chimera and Berfomet." said Jaden.
"I would check again if I were you, remember when I played Monster Reincarnation. I discarded the spell caster." said Dimitri.
"Not good!" said Syrus.
"Now to bring back that Spell Caster! Gazelle, Spear Dragon! Make some room for the one the only, DARK MAGICIAN!" said Dimitri. Gazelle and Spear Dragon then transformed into light which was absorbed into the dark coffin. The Dark Coffin then opened revealing a spell caster which was wearing purple and had a green staff.
Dark Magician : 2500 Atk 2100 Def
"Amazing, that card is the ace of Yugi's deck. To see it like this, it's incredible." said Reiji.
"Think he'll give an autograph?" said Syrus.
"I should've brought my Camera." said Chumley.
"(I cannot believe this, Dimitri is playing just like Yugi would and that's not good for Declan.)" thought Bastion.
"Even so, Declan's twin headed dragon is still stronger than the Dark magician. So he's got nothing to worry about!" said Jaden.
"He's right, my monster may not be able to attack just yet but your monster cannot destroy mine. For now I end my turn." said Reiji.

Monster : Twin Headed Thunder Dragon
"I draw! The heart of the cards has served me well, I play my Thousand knives! When I control a dark magician and I activate this, I can target one monster you control and destroy it! I choose the Thunder Dragon!" said Dimitri. Just then the Dark Magician summoned a wall of knives behind him and sent it flying towards the Twin Headed Thunder Dragon. The Thunder Dragon was then covered in blades and exploded.
"My dragon!" said Reiji.
"Not good! Declan's only monster is gone!" said Jaden.
"Which means..." said Syrus.
"Which means you're open for an attack! Go Dark Magician! Dark Magic Attack!" said Dimitri. The Dark Magician then started spinning his staff and collected the power, he then sent a green energy blast towards Reiji.

"Nnngh...not good!" said Reiji.
"Now do you understand, I am not Dimitri! I am Yugi, the KING OF GAMES!" said Dimitri.
"(He's really absorbed into this. I need to snap him out of this!) Dimitri! Stop deluding yourself! You are not the King of Games and you are not Yugi! You try and copy other's deck simply because you don't know how to make your own. You depend on the powers of others and copy theirs's because you cannot find your own. But I will make you face reality! No matter what, now let the game begin! I draw and I set one monster face down. And that will do." said Reiji.
Reiji LP : 1100

Set : 1
"Thanks for the speech but you cannot do anything with that one face down. Not to mention, as long as I have my Swords of Revealing light out, you can't attack but I can! I draw and now Dark Magician Attack his set card!" said Dimitri. The Dark Magician then charged his attack once again and blasted a green bolt to the set card which caused a giant explosion. After the explosion, everyone was staring at Reiji's field and noticed a clown looking card on his field.

SP : Swords of Revealing Light 2
"What is that?!" said Dimitri. Jaden, Syrus, Chumley and Bastion look over to see a clown monster with red hat and blue curly shoes. It also had baggy pants which was green and yellow.
"It's Peten the Dark Clown! When my monster is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I can banish it and summon another copy from my hand or deck. So I summoned another one from my deck." said Reiji.
Peten the Dark Clown : 500 Atk 1200 Def
"Cool! Since Declan only has 1 more turn left until the swords of revealing light is gone, he has more than enough defence to live through it." said Syrus.
"Awesome! Since it's his turn now, all he had to do is end his turn and the spell wear's off!" said Jaden.
"Well it's my turn! I draw and I will set a card. That's it for me, which means the swords are gone." said Reiji. The green light swords were then disappearing until they completely vanished.
"Great! Next turn Declan can finally begin the assault!" said Syrus.
"That is to say that he has a next turn. I draw and now Dark Magician attack his clown!" said Dimitri. The Dark Magician then started charging up his attack and got ready to attack.
"Not this time! I activate my trap, Shadow Spell! Now Dark magician can't attack and he loses 700 attack points!" said Reiji. Just then seven chains were about to hit Dark Magician.
"I don't think so! I activate my spell card! Dedication through light and darkness! Now by tributing the "Dark magician", I can summon the "Dark Magician of Chaos" from my deck!" said Dimitri. Everybody was then surprised to hear what he just said, he was about to summon one of the most legendary cards. A card that was forbidden but only Yugi had the copy.
"I can't believe, does he seriously have the "Dark Magician of Chaos"." said Chumley.
"Think about it! That's the deck of Yugi himself!" said Jaden.
"Then that means..." said Syrus
"That's right! Now I am going to unleash his power on you Declan! Come forth, Dark Magician of Chaos!" said Dimitri. Dark Magician was then swallowed into shadows and he was transformed into a blue skinned, dark robe wearing spell caster.
Dark Magician of Chaos : 2800 Atk 2600 Def
"Unbelievable, the Dark Magician of Chaos!" said Reiji.
"Amazing, that's the legendary Dark Magician of Chaos. Not only is it stronger but it also has a special ability to boot." said Bastion.
"Your friends right, during the end phase that I summoned this monster. I can add one spell from my graveyard and the card I pick is Monster Reincarnation. But for now, Dark Magician of Chaos! Attack that Dark Clown! Sceptre's Strike!" said Dimitri. The Magician then charged his staff and sent a dark energy wave to the Clown. The clown was then sent through a dimension hole and then destroyed.

Monsters : Dark Magician of Chaos 2800 Atk 2600 Def
"Hey wait second, why didn't he summon another copy? Shouldn't he be able to since his monster got destroyed?" said Syrus.
"Sorry Syrus but not happening, since every time the Dark Magician of Chaos destroys a monster. Their not sent to the graveyard but their banished instead." said Jaden.
"Oh no, which means Declan has no defense!" said Chumley.
"That's not all, he's also running out of options and with no cards on the field. He might not even have life points soon." said Bastion.
"Now do you realise that this deck and I fit perfectly! Always have and always will!" said Dimitri.
"(This is getting ridiculous, I need to fight back!) I won't back down." said Reiji.
"I see but if I were you, I would just give up." said Dimitri with a smug face.
"Don't say if I were you and don't tell me what to do! Because no matter what happens, you're not me. I will show you now!" said Declan. Dimitri just smirked as his Dark Magician of Chaos's effect activated and added the "Monster Reincarnation" from his grave.
"Huh? Does he have some sort of plan or something?" said Syrus.
"He better because looking at the current situation he is in, he won't be able to win this." said Bastion.
"I draw and I summon my Kaiba Man! In attack mode!" said Reiji. A monster with a white jacket and a helmet which was similar to blue eyes arrived on the field.
Kaiba Man : 200 Atk and 700 Def
"Kaiba man? I've never seen a card like that." said Syrus
"Yeah me too, but I have to admit it looks really familiar." said Chumley.
"Chumley its in the name, he has a bit of a resemblance to Kaiba himself." said Bastion.
"Oh yeah but what good is a card like that against the Dark Magician of Chaos?" said Chumley.
"I don't know but I do know that this is a part of Declan's plan." said Bastion.
"That monster has no power against my Dark Magician of Chaos." said Dimitri.
"Of course he doesn't, that's why I'm using his special effect! By tributing Kaiba man from my field, I can summon the legendary "BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON"!" said Reiji. Just then everyone had a shock on their faces. Declan then placed the card on his duel disk which summon the legendary dragon of destruction, the dragon emerged and roared with a strong s cream which made Dimitri shiver.
Blue Eyes White Dragon : 3000 Atk 2500 Def
"No way! The blue eyes white dragon! I thought only Kaiba had those cards!" said Jaden.
"I thought that too but clearly we were wrong." said Bastion.
"I can't believe it, the blue eye's facing off against the Dark Magican of Chaos. It's like watching Yugi against Kaiba from the Battle city tournament all over again." said Syrus.
"Now I really wished I brought my camera!" said Chumley with regret.
"How could you possibly have that card?!" said Dimitri.
"These cards were entrusted to me and I intend on beating you with it. Now to show you, go Blue Eyes! White Lightning!" said Reiji. The blue eye's then charged it's attacked and blasted a strong energy wave through it mouth which completely swallowed the Dark Magician of chaos.
"AAAAHHH!" cried Dimitri.

"Yeah! He did it! There's no way that Dimitri's got anything stronger than the Blue Eye's." said Syrus.
"Indeed, I have to say this duel has became quite reminiscing." said Bastion.
"I know but this time I want our "Kaiba" to win!" said Jaden.
"This is not over! You may destroyed my magician but I will not be so easily defeated. I draw and I summon Kuriboh! Then I set one card and end my turn." said Dimitri.

"In attack mode? What's Dimitri thinking? If his monster get's attacked then he won't stand a chance!" said Syrus.
"Yes but I'm guessing that's what his face down was for. I wouldn't be surprised if that card will somehow help him out." said Bastion.
"Now I won't let you win! I will defeat you Dimitri! I draw and now, go Blue Eyes! Destroy that Kuriboh with white lightening!" said Reiji. The Blue Eye's then got ready to attack and charged his blast.
"Not so fast! I play Multiply! Now by tributing my Kuriboh, I can summon as many Kuriboh tokens in all of my open spaces. Of course your attack still carry's on but it's significance has been reduced." said Dimitri. The Kuriboh then destroyed itself and started multiplying into many different coloured forms of itself. The Blue Eye's then charged his blast and destroyed the Kuriboh token.
"(He's really going defensive and with those tokens, I won't be able to be damage him unless I get rid of all of them!) I set one card and I end my turn." said Reiji.

"I draw and I play the magic card of sanctity! Now we both draw until he have 6 cards in our hand!" said Dimitri. Dimitri and Reiji both drew 5 cards. "Excellent, I drew the card Watapon and when he's added to my hand, I can special summon him to my field! However he will not stay for long as I tribute him to summon, Dark Magician Girl!" said Dimitri. Watapon then disappeared as a female spell caster with a small wand and blue outfit came to field. She had blonde hair and a pointy hat.
Dark Magican Girl : 2000 Atk and 1700 Def
"Oh wow! She's even cuter in person!" said Jaden.
"Wow she is georgous but she won't stand a chance against the Blue Eyes White Dragon!" said Syrus.
"She has beauty and bronze for every Dark Magician card in either of our graveyard, she gains 300 attack points!" said Dimitri. Dark Magician Girl : 2300 AtK 1700 Def
"Even so, your spell caster has no power against my dragon." said Reiji.
"Not yet but now I equip her with Magic Formula! This give's my Dark Magician Girl a boost of 700 attack points!" said Dimitri. The Dark Magician girl then opened the tome and read it as her attack points rose to 3000.
"Now they're both equal!" said Syrus.
"This is exactly the power I needed to defeat that dragon. Go Dark magician girl, attack that dragon!" said Dimtri. The Dark Magician girl then had a sad face showing that she wasn't happy about his choice.
"What?! He's going to destroy them both?!" said Jaden.
"That's just mean, why don't you leave her alone?!" said Syrus.
Reiji then placed his glasses back as he saw the expression of Dark magician girl. She was then getting ready to blast her attack at Reiji.
"I don't think so! I activate my trap, negate attack!" said Reiji. A strong wing then pushed back the dark magician girl which made her stop the attack.
"Not bad, I see you were able to stop the attack but soon enough I will defeat you." said Dimitri.

"I draw!" said Declan as he stared at his card.
"What are you wondering? I have the strength in number and power, you have nothing. Just face it, Kaiba's card were never able to defeat me and I doubt you can! So just give up!" said Dimitri.
"…...Listen to me Dimitri, I know you think you're being nice but giving me these warnings but spare me all your lame advice. I don't intend on losing to you now and I won't lose to an imposter either! I activate my spell card, BURST STREAM DESTRUCTION!" said Reiji.
"What?!" said Dimitri.
"What's that spell card?" said Syrus.
"It's actually quite a power spell card which allows Reiji to destroy all monsters that Dimitri controls as long as he has a blue eye's on his field." said Bastion.
"Awesome! That's exactly the boost that Declan needed to win this duel!" said Jaden.
The blue eye's then charged it's blast and sent a giant burst of energy which destroyed all of Dimitri's monsters.
"(Thank you)" whispered a soft female voice into Reji's ear. Reiji was then looking around to see the source of the sound but there was nothing in sight.
"Hey Declan?! You okay?" said Jaden.
"Yeah, what are you looking for?" said Syrus.
"Sorry guys, it's nothing(Whose voice was that? It almost felt like the time I spoke to that voice back in the dorm room but this was more feminine. Never mind that now, I need to focus on this duel.) I end my turn by setting two card." said Reiji.

"Why didn't he attack? He could've dealt some serious damage to Dimitri's life points?!" said Syrus.
"Well to answer that, I'm guessing it's because during the turn you activate that card. No Blue Eyes White Dragon can attack." said Bastion.
"It's cool, after all now Declan has the edge in this duel. There's no way that he can lose, after all Dimitri has no monsters." said Jaden.
"That doesn't mean a thing! I activate the effect of my magical formula which give's me back 1000 life points!" said Dimitri.
Dimitri LP : 4100
"Now I will show you that you don't stand a chance against me! I draw and I play the spell card "Silent Doom". With this, I can summon the "Dark Magician" from my graveyard but it will not be able to attack." said Dimitri. A portal appeared which re summoned the legendary Dark Magician to the field.
"Oh no, he has Dark Magician again!" said Syrus.
"Wow, it really is just like Yugi vs Kaiba! But right now that Magician doesn't stand a chance against the Blue Eyes White Dragon." said Jaden.
"Not on his own he can't but combined he can do anything! I once again play Polymerization, with this I fuse Dark Magician and Buster Blader from my hand to summon! The Dark Paladin!" said Dimitri.
Another spellcaster arrived on the field but this time with Dark Magician's armour but in green. He also wielded a staff which had a blade on the top.
Dark Paladin : 2900 Atk 2400 Def
"The Dark Paladin?! I can't believe it!" said Reiji.
"There it is, the legendary card that Yugi used to defeat Kaiba in the battle city tournament!" said Bastion.
"That's right and I intend on using it to defeat you now! My Paladin gains an additional 500 attack points for each dragon on the field and in our grave's! Since you have both Blue Eyes and your spear dragon, my Paladin gains 1000 attack points!" said Dimitri.
Dark Paladin's eyes then started glowing as his attack points rose to 3900.
"No way! How is Declan supposed to beat that?!" said Syrus.
"He can't! The Blue Eyes white dragon is supposed to be the strongest card in Kaiba's deck and with that Paladin, Declan will not stand much of a chance." said Bastion in a panick.
"Go Dark Paladin! Shadowless Slash!" said Dimitri. The Dark Paladi then flew straight towards the Blue Eyes and got ready to destroy it.
"I activate my spell card! Enemy controller! With this, your monster will now be changed to defence mode!" said Reiji.
"I don't think so, I activate the effect of my Dark Paladin! By discarding one card, I negate the activation of a spell card and destroy it. Meaning my attack still goes through!" said Dimitri. Dark Paladin then slashed the enemy controller and destroyed the Blue Eyes.
"NNggh!" said Reiji.

"Now do you see, there is nothing you can do to defeat me! My deck will never lose to your phoney deck. Because I have the heart of the cards on my side!" said Dimitri.

"This isn't good! Declan's life points are way too low!" said Syrus.
"And his strongest monster is gone!" said Chumley.
"Come on, Declan I know you can do this!" said Jaden.
"I draw! Now Dimitri, I will show you the power of this deck." said Reiji.
"What?! You don't even have any monsters and my Paladin still has more attack than any monster in your deck!" said Dimitri.
"That's exactly why I will fusing their powers as well! I play pot of greed to draw two cards. Next I play Monster Reborn to bring back the Blue Eyes White Dragon!" said Reiji. The Blue Eyes then appeared again and roared.
"So what, my Paladin's attack points will still not change and you can't defeat me!" said Dimitri.
"Were you not paying attention? I said I was going to fuse their powers as well so I play double spell! By discarding my "Stamping Destruction", I choose to add your polymerization! And now I play it!" said Reiji.
"What?! But is he really going to summon it?" said Bastion.
"Summon what?" said Jaden.
"There was a legendary card that was created by Kaiba himself. He created it by fusing the three Blue Eyes White Dragons but he was the only one to ever have a copy. So Declan couldn't possibly be..." said Bastion
"I fuse my three Blue Eyes White Dragon to summon the BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!" said Reiji. Everyone had a giant shock to their faces to see that Reiji was about to summon one fo the most legendary cards in existence. Just then all of the three Blue Eyes flew into the sky and started spinning into a vortex.
"It can't be! How could you have that card?!" said Dimitri.
"It doesn't matter how I have this card, all that matters is that I am going to use this to defeat you!" said Reiji.
Out of the vortex came a giant white dragon with three heads. It spreads it wing completely and flew into the sky and then it started flying behind Reiji.
Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon : 4500 Atk 3800 Def
"I don't believe it! There it is, the legendary Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" said Bastion.
"It's even cooler in person but seriously, Declan how did you get that card?" said Jaden.
"Sorry Jaden but that's a secret, all that matters is that I have to use his power to defeat Dimitri." said Reiji.
"Nice plan but you made a major miscalculation! Did you forget for every dragon monster on the field and graveyard which is a dragon. My Paladin gains an additonal 500 attacks points for each and since there are four in your graveyard and one on your field, he gains 2500 attack points!" said Dimitri. Dark Paladin's eyes once again started glowing causing his attack points to rise.
Dark Paladin : 5400 Atk 2400 Def
"Oh man! Here I thought he could turn this around!" said Jaden.
"Not even his strongest monster can take on Yugi...I mean Dimitri's Paladin!" said Syrus.
"No I had my cards ready to defeat him but why don't I show you instead. I play the equip spell card Mega Morph and I equip it to Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! When my life points are lower than my opponents, the equipped monsters attack points are doubled." said Reiji.
"Doubled?!" said Jaden, Syrus, Chumley,Bastion and Dimitri. The Ultimate dragon then started to roar as his power started increasing to 9000!
"Now that is a strong monster!" said Jaden.
"Yeah, now show him Declan!" said Dimitri.
"You can count on me, go Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! Ultimate Burst Stream!" said Reiji. The Blue Eyes ultimate dragon then started charging their power and blasted a giant wave of energy from all three heads. The blast completely swallowed the Dark paladin and left no trace of him.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" screamed Dimitri as he collapsed on his knees.

"Yeah! He did it, the Paladin's been destroyed!" said Syrus.
"Not to mention Dimitri has no cards in his hand or field while Declan still has his dragon." said Jaden.
"Also since Declan's life points are still lower than Dimitri's, his dragons attack points will remain the same." said Bastion.
"Now do you understand Dimitri, you can't defeat me." said Reiji.
"No, I won't be beaten! The heart of the cards are still on my side and I refuse to lose! I draw!" said Dimitri. Dimitri then fell silent but then he started laughing. Everyone was confused though since they couldn't understand why Dimitri would be laughing since he only had one card.
"What's so funny Dimitri? You only have one card while Declan has all the cards he needs to defeat you!" said Syrus.
"He may have more cards than me but my deck has now given me the card needed to defeat him!" said Dimitri.
"There's no way!" said Jaden.
"There is a way! Allow me to show you! By Banishing my Kuriboh and Watapon from my graveyard, I summon the BLAST LUSTER SOLIDER - ENVOY OF THE BEGINNING!" said Dimitri as Kuriboh and Watapon went into a dimension hole which brought a warrior with golden and blue armour. He had a giant blade and shield with the same design as his armour.
"No, I can't believe it! The Blast Luster Solder - Envoy of the Beginning! There are only two cards in the wold that can be summoned like that and he is one of them. Duellist have travelled the world searching for these cards to add to their collection but it seems like Yugi had on himself!" said Bastion.
"What but why? I mean to summon it like that is easy but what does it do?" said Syrus.
"Allow me to show you! Now Blast Luster Soldier, remove his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon with CHAOS BLADE!" said Dimitri. Just then Blast Luster Soldier sent a giant blade attack above the Blue Eyes ultimate dragon which opened up a tear in the space. The tear then sucked in the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon and destroyed Mega Morph.
"Oh man! Declan's monster is gone!" said Chumley.
"No...don't tell me. He's done for!" said Syrus
"No Declan, you can't give up like this!" said Jaden.
"It's over! Declan has no monsters and with that Blast Luster Soldier, he can't win!" said Bastion.
"Do you hear that? Even your friends have given up on hope for your victory, I will never lose as long as I have this deck!" said Dimitri.

"Is that so?" said Reiji who pushed his glasses back. "Do you really believe that you've won? That I plan on giving up merely because you got rid of my monster? Well you're wrong, I still intend on winning this!" said Reiji causing everyone to have a shocked face.
"What?! How could you possible intend on winning when you have no monsters?!" said Dimitri.
"Even I have to say, I don't see how he can turn this duel around." said Bastion.
"Come on guys, Declan says he has a plan and we should be encouraging him." said Jaden.
"I draw and now I activate the spell card, Soul Release!" said Reiji.
"Soul Release? What do you intend on doing with that?" said Dimitri.
"I intend on banishing all three of my blue eyes and my Twin headed thunder dragon." said Reiji.
"What? He's banishing his own cards?" said Syrus.
"What's he planning on doing? That's would've been more useful earlier against Dark Paladin but not Blast Luster Solider." said Chumley.
"Your friends are right, banishing your cards did not do anything to help you. I see your only playing your cards because you have nothing left." said Dimitri.
"(That voice...it told me that my students will be in danger. I will never allow that to happen, I will not be defeated! No matter what!) I activate my trap! RETURN FROM THE DIFFERENT DIMENSION!" said Reiji. Everybody did not see that coming. "Now by paying half of my life points, I can special summon as many of my removed from play monsters! And the ones I choose are my Blue Eyes White Dragons, Twin headed Thunder Dragon and Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" said Reiji. A dimensional hole then appeared above Reiji which summoned all three of the Blue Eyes White Dragons, Twin Headed Thunder Dragon and the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
Reiji's LP : 100
Monsters : Blue Eyes White Dragon, Twin Headed Thunder Dragon and Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
"WOW, I can't believe it! Did he really summon a bunch of monsters in one turn?!" said Syrus.
"Yeah so?" said Chumley.
"That should be against the rules!" said Syrus.
"Syrus screw the rules! Declan's gonna win!" said Jaden.
"(I can't believe it, I never predicted such a duel! Dimitri was duelling just Yugi himself and Declan was duelling just like Kaiba. During all their duels Kaiba wasn't able to win but this time, Declan was able to come on top. Could it be he's even stronger than Kaiba amd Yugi?)" thought Bastion.
"THIS CAN'T BE!" said Dimitri.
"It is and not it's over! GO MY DRAGONS, ATTACK AND FINISH THIS DUEL!" said Reiji. Just then all five of the dragons then charged their attacks and blasted at the same time. The energy blast then destroyed the Black Luster Soldier and hit Dimitri directly. Reducing hjis life points to zero.
Dimitri LP : 0
The holograms then disappeared and Dimitri fell on knees.
"I've been beaten. Even with my...Yugi's deck. What's wrong with me? Why can't I ever win?!" said Dimitri.
"The answer to that is simple." said ?
Everyone then turned their heads to see Zane and Alexis walking over from the corner.
"Hey you're Zane." said Dimitri.
"Big Bro?" said Syrus.
"What are you guys doing here?" said Jaden.
"Why else? To see the deck but it was gone." said Zane.
"We snuck into the event hall and saw that the display case was broken. We knew the thief couldn't have gotten far so we decided to look around." said Alexis.
"Which led us here. We found you guys a while ago but we didn't want to interrupt the duel." said Zane.
"Kind of you." said Bastion.
"Wait! Then does that mean you saw it all? The whole thing? Yugi vs Kai...I mean Dimitri against Declan?" said Jaden.
"Not just us, your duel attracted quite the crowd." said Zane. Everyone then looked around to see that there were students hiding all over the place. Everybody then started revealing themselves and walked over to them.
"So what now?" said Dimitri.
"Well the punishment for stealing is Expulsion. And since you didn't follow Declan's orders, I'm afraid it's over for you." said Zane. Dimitri then hung his head low and started tearing up.
"That won't be necessary." said Reiji. Everyone then turned their heads to Declan. "The truth is, I asked Dimitri to do this for me.". Everyone was giving Reiji the shocked face since they couldn't believe what they just heard.
"What? Declan you asked him to steal the cards?" said Jaden.
"Yes I did." said Reiji.
"But why?" said Syrus.
"It's because the Chancellor asked me to let the students know about the deck that would be going on tour. I knew that the students wouldn't just like to see the deck in a display case so I asked him to take the deck and help me put on this show so that the students would be interested. Isn't that right Dimitri." said Declan. Dimitri then quick wiped his tears and just nodded.
"I have admit to it does sound a bit far fetched but I believe you." said Jaden.
"Me too!" said Syrus.
"Me too!" said Chumley.
"Well everyone, I believe we should be giving them a round of applause. Good show." said Bastion as he started clapping. Everyone else then started clapping with Bastion and Dimitri's friends were laughing with Dimitri.
The Next Day
The deck was returned and Reiji had to give an explanation to Sheppard about what happened. Crowler had a lot of papers to write since he was in trouble for letting the deck escape the display case. Sheppard was able to understand the fact it was better for the deck to be shown in a duel rather than a display case.
"Thank you for understanding." said Reiji.
"Of course, you just accomplished the task I asked of you. Because of what you did all of the students visited the tour." said Sheppard.
"I'm glad to hear it. I also want to thank you for the deck you gave me. The students were also see this deck in action." said Reiji.
"That's fine by me, I'm just glad that the students were able to enjoy the tour." said Sheppard.
"Thank you, I will be leaving now." said Reiji as he left his room. Just as Reiji left the room, he saw that Dimitri was standing in front of him in his usual Ra yellow attire.
"Hello Dimitri." said Reiji.
"Hello Mr. Declan. I just wanted to tell you that I'm...sorry about what happened." said Dimitri.
"It's fine, we were able to resolve this without many issues. (Well not for us anyway, I can't say the same about Crowler.)" said Reiji.
"Mr. Declan, I wanted to ask you something. I know that your deck belonged to Kaiba but why is it that I can't win when I copy others deck? You were able to win by using some else's deck but why can't I do the same?" said Dimitri.
"…...the answer to that is simple. It's because by using someone else's, you're not throwing yourself into the duel. Duel Monsters is about learning, evolving, making your own deck and having fun. But you forget all of that when you use someone else's deck. I know I shouldn't be using someone else's deck as well but I had to put my own deck in stand by. I guess I also learned something from you Dimitri, I shouldn't be hiding who I am and accept myself, not what others think about me." said Reiji.
"I see, to put myself into the duel. I need to learn to make my own deck and have fun instead of copying others. Thanks' Mr. Declan, I promise I will do my best from now on too." said Dimitri as he left. Reiji also left to the teachers lounge.

"Did you see that? He defeated the imposter." said ?
"Yes but like you said, an imposter. He wasn't duelling the actual king of games." said ?
"That maybe so but he still prove one thing, he truly is the strongest duellist here and soon enough, he will be strongest in the world." said ?
"You really believe so?" said ?
"Of course, the war is approaching fast and his army will be here soon enough. Right now he needs to recover and once the time comes. He will defeat everyone in his way and he will claim the ultimate power." said ?
Chapter 10 - End
(A/NI would like to apologise to everyone for the long wait. I had to work a lot so that I could earn for my tickets. I must also give more bad news sadly, I will be gone for 4 weeks so no updates until then so I just wanted to let you all know. I do hope you enjoyed this chapter however, I was planning on sticking to the original episode duel but I really wanted to have Dark Paladin and Reiji to have the best way of winning and hopefully that win satisfied you guys. I would like to thank everyone for reading and reviewing, I hope that you all can stick around for future chapters. The reviews you give me is the reason why I even started to carry on writing this. If I had nothing I would've given up on this but because of your reviews, I am truly happy to carry on writing this fic. With that have a good morning/day/evening/night and I will be back from my vacation.)
