Obelisk Arena
Unlike with the prior 4 duels, Sheppard backed off completely now to let Seto and Yugi dictate this whole affair as they pleased. Dictate it they would. When these two got together to duel, whether it be in public or not, their rivalry was as strong as ever.
"Yugi, I've prepared for this rematch by theorizing every card you might decide to include within that deck of yours and went about reconfiguring my deck." Seto stated, having swapped around a few cards after his duel with Bastion. "Now, face me."
"As I've said these last ten years, whenever you want a duel, you've got one." Yugi returned.
"Let's duel!"
(Yugi 4000/Seto 4000)
"I'll let you go first." Seto stated simply.
"Alright, I draw." Yugi looked at his hand. "I'll summon Beta the Electromagnet Warrior(LV 3/1500/1500)." A pink, bipedal magnet appeared. "When he's summoned, I can add any Magnet Warrior I wish from my deck to the hand except another of himself. I then end my turn."
"That is a rather simplistic move." Syrus noted.
"Did he end up bricking?" Chumley asked.
"Yugi Muto never bricks." Kai returned. "No one else necessarily should if their deck is constructed well enough, but it's especially true in his case."
"To add on here, I utilize the Magnet Warriors as my earth deck." Bastion smiled. "Let me assure you, Yugi has options."
"You summon a single weak monster and call that a turn?" Seto scoffed, getting into the duel. "I want the King of Games, not some novice."
"You're dueling the King of Games Kaiba." Yugi returned, getting into the duel as well. "If you think my board that easy to break, I welcome you to do your worst."
"Well, you asked for it." Seto drew. "I now activate Cards of Consonance. By discarding a dragon-type tuner with 1000 or less ATK, I'm allowed to draw 2 cards. I'll continue my preparations with Melody of Awakening Dragon.
By discarding 1 card from my hand, I can add up to 2 dragon-type monsters to my hand with at minimum 3000 ATK and 2500 DEF. I'll discard the White Stone of Legend, which lets me add 1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
In total, I'll add two Blue-Eyes White Dragon and one Alternative. By revealing one of those original Blue-Eyes White Dragons to you, I can special summon Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon(LV 8/3000/2500)." A white dragon with blue eyes appeared.
"That won't be all as I now summon Kaibaman(LV 3/200/700)." A warrior who looked like Seto himself, with a Blue-Eyes White Dragon mask, appeared. "Enjoy this handsome devil while he's hee because he's not sticking around.
I can tribute him to summon an original Blue-Eyes White Dragon(LV 8/3000/2500) from my hand." The original white dragon with blue eyes appeared. "Now, your little magnet is outnumbered by my two dragons."
"Now for long." Yugi retorted. "I activate Beta's quick effect. By sending him to the grave, I can trade him out for a different warrior from my deck." He selected just the one. "I special summon Epsilon the Magnet Warrior(LV 4/1300/1500) in defense mode."
A silver, bipedal magnet appeared. "Epsilon has his own ability, in that I can send any level 4 or lower Magnet Warrior from my deck to the grave, except another of himself. I send Gamma the Electromagnet Warrior to my graveyard, and Epsilon then takes on that card's name."
Epsilon became a more rotund, gray bipedal magnet. "It also lets me return Beta the Electromagnet Warrior(LV 3/1500/1500) to the field, and I'll do as such in defense. Not to mention he was summoned again, meaning I can add another Magnet Warrior to my hand."
"Heh, all you can do is cower and play defense." Seto scoffed. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, White Lightning Storm!"
Both Blue-Eyes blasted the magnets.
"Gah, both my magnets have been destroyed!" Yugi exclaimed.
"That's right, and unfortunately for you, I'm not quite finished." Seto declared. "At the end of my turn, the White Stone of Ancients I discarded for Cards of Consonance activates. Now, I can summon any Blue-Eyes I wish from my deck.
Welcome another member of the Blue-Eyes lineage, Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon(LV 8/2500/2500)." A thinner white dragon with blue eyes appeared, having more angelic looking wings. "For being special summoned, I can add any ritual spell or polymerization to my hand.
As it's the end of my turn, she also adds any level 8 or higher dragon I wish to my hand. I'll add Chaos Form and Blue-Eyes Chaos Max Dragon. That means come my next turn, you'll have an even fiercer dragon to look forward to."
"It's only his first turn, yet Seto summoned three of his Blue-Eyes while maintaining his hand." Syrus commented.
"Not to mention he's whipped whatever Yugi managed to get out." Chumley added.
"Oh man, this is such a sweet duel!" Jaden grinned.
Dimitri nodded happily. "Yeah, it has a completely different feel to the ones any of you got in with them."
"Well, this certainly takes me back." Yugi noted with a smile.
"Unlike back then, you don't have Exodia." Seto smirked. "Just what will you do now?"
"Let's see, shall we?" Yugi drew. "I summon Alpha The Electromagnet Warrior(LV 3/17000/1100)." A bipedal, steel gray magnet appeared. "When summoned, Alpha adds any level 8 Magna Warrior I wish to my hand.
With Alpha on my field, along with Beta and Gamma in my grave, I can banish all three to form Berserkion the Electromagna Warrior(LV 8/3000/2800)." A larger, bipedal magnet comprised of the prior three appeared. "Next, I activate Card Destruction."
"That's a strategic move as now Seto loses his Ritual Spell and Monster." Bastion noted.
"Not to mention whatever else was left in his hand." Kai noted.
"Now, we both send our entire hands to the grave and draw the same amount." Yugi continued.
"So, that was your big plan." Seto noted.
"It's just the beginning." Yugi returned. "With two Magnet Warriors in my grave, I activate Beserkion's special ability. I banish Delta and Epsilon to destroy two dragons on your field. I'll select the original and Alternative White Dragon."
Berserkion fired lightning down on the dragons. "Now Berserkion, take out his remaining dragon with Electromagnetic Slash!" Berserkion slashed Abyss Dragon, destroying her (Yugi 4000/Seto 3500). "I'll set two cards to end my turn. Looks like I'm in control of this duel."
"Your delusional if you think that's enough to stop me." Seto drew. "While your Card Destruction might have prevented Chaos Max Dragon, it helped fill my grave with the perfect materials for Ultimate Fusion.
By shuffling the three original Blue-Eyes back into my deck, I can now form the all mighty Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon(LV 12/4500/3800)." Whereas Alternative Ultimate Dragon was a sleek three headed dragon, this was a more futuristic looking three-headed, white dragon.
"Alternative is a relatively new fusion of his ultimate dragon, but that one has been out for a while" Sadie remarked.
"Yeah, for the longest time it's been the only replacement for his original Ultimate Dragon." Greg voiced.
"Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, reduce his Berserkion to dust!" Seto ordered. "Neo Neutron Blast!"
Berserkion was obliterated by three beams fired as one (Yugi 2500/Seto 3500).
"When destroyed, Berserkion breaks into the three Electromagnet Warriors that formed it." Yugi informed. "Return, Beta the Electromagnet Warrior(LV 3/1500/1500), Alpha The Electromagnet Warrior(LV 3/17000/1100), and Gamma The Electromagnet Warrior(LV 3/800/2000) in defense mode."
"Those monsters won't protect you when I play Dragon's Fighting Spirit." Seto declared. "It gives my dragon an additional attack for every monster you control that was special summoned this turn.
Additionally, my dragon's own ability can send Blue-Eyes fusions from my grave twice per turn to strike twice more. That's a grand total of 5 more attacks." He pointed at Yugi. "Let's see just how hard it is to break that board of yours.
Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, take out all three Electromagnet Warriors." Seto ordered, seeing the dragon blast them. "Now, you're wide-open. I'll immediately send my two copies of Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and start with one direct attack."
"I activate my first face down, the quick-play spell Soul Servant." Yugi declared. "This lets me put the Magician of Chaos on the top of my deck. That means, I'll be drawing that next turn."
"There will be no next turn." Seto retorted. "My dragon is going to end this now."
"I wouldn't be so sure." Yugi countered. "When I've activated a spell on your turn, I can special summon Magician of Dark Illusion(LV 7/2100/2500) from my hand, and I'll do it in defense." A spellcaster obscured by shadow appeared.
"I now activate my second face down, the trap card Black Illusion." A black magic circle appeared before Dark Illusion. "This turn, my Magician's effects are negated; however, they are also unaffected by all your card effects and can't be destroyed by battle."
"Figures." Seto smirked. "I've still achieved enough getting those two copies of my fusion in the grave, but I'll take it a set further by setting three cards to end my turn."
"He just absolutely stonewalled the rest of Seto's turn!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"Of course, he did." Kai smiled. "It'd be a shame for a duel like this to end right now."
"My turn!" Yugi drew. "I play Double Spell. By discarding any other spell in my hand, I can use any spell within your grave as though I just played it. There's no better option than Chaos Form. It's powerful magic will transform my Dark Illusion into Magician of Chaos(LV 7/2500/2100)."
A spellcaster with a blue hue appeared. "As a monster who's original ATK is 2500 was summoned to my field, I can special summon Chronicle Magician(LV 7/2500/2500) in defense mode." A white robbed spellcaster with a large book appeared.
"Chronicle Magician can chant a mystic spell to boost the ATK of any Dark Magician or Blue-Eyes White Dragon I control by 2500 until the end of the turn. Magician of Chaos(LV 7/5000/2100 effect) counts as Dark Magician on the field or in my grave, so he'll be my target."
"That's stronger than my Neo Blue-Eyes." Seto noted.
"While that is true, I'm not going to immediately attack." Yugi declared. "I'll instead banish Soul Servant. For every Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Palladium monster on my field or in the grave…" Magician of Chaos, Dark Magician Girl, and Palladium Mana's cards appeared.
"No, he sent Dark Magician Girl to the grave!" Syrus lamented.
Given his reaction to the girls when they had that beach day, Syrus didn't really surprise anyone of his friends now with his reaction.
"…I can draw cards equal to that number, that's three new cards!" Yugi did just that. "Normally, now would be the perfect time to use Magician of Chaos' effect to destroy his fusion. In this situation, he's loaded his grave with his other two copies of Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
If I try to use that effect on a Blue-Eyes, my monster will be the one destroyed instead." He nodded. "Once per turn, as a spell/trap was activated, my monster can destroy one card on your field. I'll choose that middle face down of yours."
"I knew you wouldn't dare target my fusion on the field with the Neo Blue-Eyes in my grave." Seto declared. "As such, your only option would be to target my back row. It's why I set Fake Trap, meaning your destruction effect on that set trap card is redirected to this."
"Very well." Yugi stated. "I next activate Bond Between Teacher and Student. With the Chaos form of Dark Magician on my field, I can special summon his pupil back from the grave. Return Dak Magician Girl(LV 6/2000/1700)." A female spellcaster in teal and pink robes appeared.
Except for people like Kai, Bastion, Greg, Topher, and Zane, practically every other male student whooped and hollered upon her summon.
"That same spell which brought her out now allows me to set any one of three spells from my deck." Yugi proceeded, selecting the perfect spell for this instance. "Next I equip Dark Magician Girl(LV 6/2500/1700 effect) with Wonder Wand to grant her 500 ATK.
Now is the time to activate the spell I just set, Dark Magic Twin Burst. Dark Magician Girl will channel her energy into Magician of Chaos(LV 7/7500/2100 effect), granting him additional ATK equal to her current ATK until the end of the turn."
"7500 ATK!" Seto exclaimed.
"With this, once my two magicians attack, this duel ends!" Yugi declared. "Magician of Chaos, Destroy Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon with Chaos Magic Attack!" Magician of Chaos formed a huge sphere of magic before lobbing it at the fusion and destroying it (Yugi 2500/Seto 500).
"This duel won't end here." Seto stated. "I activate my set, Damage Condenser. As I was dealt damage by battle, I discard 1 card to then special summon any monster from my deck whose ATK is less than or equal to the damage I took, in attack. I discard King of D. to special summon Maiden with Eyes of Blue(LV 1/0/0)." A woman with long white hair and blue eyes appeared.
"Is that a human form of Blue-Eyes White Dragon?" Jaden questioned. "You know, despite Seto calling them by female pronouns, I still always thought they were dudes for some reason."
"She's pretty, just like Dark Magician Girl." Syrus stated with a blush.
"I don't think I'd trust him with it, but why didn't Syrus create a female spellcaster deck?" Kai pondered. "For better or worse, guy seems to have a type."
"If I attack with Dark Magician Girl, Seto will just negate the attack and bring out a Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Yugi noted, having faced this card before. "I'll end my Battle Phase there and now activate the effect of Wonder Wand.
By sending it and Dark Magician Girl to the grave, I can draw two cards. Then, I play Gold Sarcophagus. I now select a card from my deck and lock it away within the sarcophagus for two turns. Then, it will be added to my hand."
"That card will remain locked away because I'll end this before it opens again." Seto declared. "My last set card will help me ensure it. I play my trap Interdimensional Matter Transporter. It will remove my Maiden until the end of this turn. More importantly, when she's targeted by an effect, I can special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon(LV 8/3000/2500) from my deck."
"I set one card and end my turn." Yugi declared. "It's your turn Kaiba."
Maiden with Eyes of Blue(LV 1/0/0)
Magician of Chaos(LV 7/2500/2100)
"It'll be a turn you won't soon forget." Seto drew. "My Level 1 Maiden will give my Level 8 Blue-Eyes a tune up to synchro for 9. Appear as I call your name. Synchro summon Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon(LV 9/2500/3000)." A white dragon with blue eyes glowed ethereally.
"Ritual, Fusion, and Synchro!" Mindy exclaimed.
"Mindy, Bastion can do all of those to and has a deck capable of every method as well." Alexis reminded.
Mindy smiled bashfully. "Oh yeah."
"That said, why would he bring out a Synchro weaker than his original Blue-Eyes?" Syrus questioned. "Now it's not strong enough to beat either of Yugi's magicians, at best it can clash with the ritual."
"Sometimes, you just got to scale back for a little more protection." Kai alluded.
"I play the spell card Raigeki." Seto continued. "Say goodbye to all your monsters. Now my Synchro dragon shall attack you directly."
"You forgot about my face down." Yugi declared.
"You can't target my Spirit Dragon since I have three Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's in my graveyard." Seto retorted. "If you even try, I can just banish one of those to negate the coming effect and destroy the card."
"This card I set doesn't target your dragon." Yugi retorted. "It targets you. Go, Dimension Wall. This reflects your attack back at you, you'll take damage equal to that of the monster which attacked."
"I won't be taken out by a cheap trick like that." Seto voiced. "I activate Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon's special ability, which requires me to tribute it, and that results in there never having been an attack. Your trap fizzles.
That's just a coincidental benefit as the real effect lets me replace it with another light attributed dragon-type Synchro, form my extra deck, in defense position. Evolve and be reborn as the Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon(LV 9/2500/3000)." A silver dragon with Azure eyes appeared.
Of course, that's hardly the end as in my hand I hold the quick-play Silver's Cry. This card will return Blue-Eyes White Dragon(LV 8/3000/2500) to my field from the grave. She'll now pick up where Spirit Dragon left off. Attack and end this duel!"
"Not quite!" Yugi exclaimed. "I've been holding onto something I discarded through Card of Destruction. I activate the effect of Clear Kuriboh in my graveyard." A pink Kuriboh appeared briefly before fading. By banishing it, I can draw 1 card." He placed his hand on his deck.
"If it is a monster, I can special summon it to protect me. It all comes down to this." He closed his eyes and drew. "Hm, I've drawn Curse of Dragonfire(LV 5/2000/1500), which I'll special summon in defense." A red, smaller dragon appeared before being blown off the field.
"Those two are exchanging effects beyond anything I've seen on the island." Bastion noted
"Yeah, they just keep going back and forth." Dimitri voiced.
"My turn's done." Seto declared.
"I draw." Yugi smiled at what he got. "When I don't have any monsters, I can normal summon Gaia the Magical Knight(LV 7/2300/2100) without tribute. To accompany him, when he is summoned, I can special summon any Level 5 or lower dragon-type monster in my grave.
I'll return Curse of Dragonfire(LV 5/2000/1500). So long as one of the materials I use is my dragon, he lets me fuse without Polymerization. I combine Gaia the Magical Knight and Curse of Dragonfire. Fusion summon Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion(LV 7/2600/2300)."
Gaia atop a red dragon appeared. "When this Dragon Champion is summoned, I can add the spell Spiral Spear Strike to my hand, which I'll immediately put into play. Now charge. Attack Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
"You might want to rethink that Yugi because your monster has fewer ATK points than my dragon." Seto informed.
"While true, this Champion can change the monster he battles into defense mode." Yugi declared, as Blue-Eyes shifted positions. "Now, he has the upper hand. Go, Sky Spiral Spear Strike!" The Dragon Champion ascended before coming down and piercing through the dragon (Yugi 2500/Seto 400). "Thanks to the continuous spell, you've taken piercing damage."
"All that just to deal me 100 life points?" Seto scoffed. "I've come to expect more of you."
"Well then, your expectations are correct." Yugi retorted. "Whenever you take damage because of Spiral Spear Strike, I draw 2 cards and discard one." He drew before sending Spiritual Swords of Revealing Light to the grave. "To end my turn, I set two cards. It's your move."
"Here I go!" Seto drew. "During my Standby Phases, Azure-Eyes lets me special summon any normal monster within my grave, so I'll return Blue-Eyes White Dragon(LV 8/3000/2500) to the field. I then activate Advance Draw.
By tributing any level 8 or higher monster I control, I can draw two cards, and I'll use the original Blue-Eyes for this." He laughed at what he got. "This is everything I need to finish this. I activate Beacon of White. I'm only permitted to control one of these.
On top of that, I must have three Blue-Eyes monsters in my grave to even activate 1. Since I fulfill both requirements, I'm allowed to revive any Blue-Eyes I wish from my grave, but they'll be the only monster I'll be allowed to attack with."
"Not that it matters with the three same targets you have in your grave." Yugi thought.
"Descend once more, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon(LV 12/4500/3800)." Seto continued. "While this card wasn't sent by Card Destruction, I've held onto Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon in my grave. Now, I banish him to give my dragons 1000 ATK for as long as they're on the field."
Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon(LV 12/5500/3800 effect)
Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon(LV 9/3500/3000 effect)
"Neo Blue-Eyes is the only monster that can attack, but it says nothing about how many attacks that one monster can have itself." Yugi thought. "That's not even mentioning what Beacon of White grants its equipped monster.
I'll need to play this well just to survive." To defend against every other attack, he first needed to ensure the attack on his fusion wouldn't be the end. "I activate my first face down, Miracle Locus. My monster also now gains 1000 ATK, but you draw 1 card in return."
Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion(LV 7/3600/2300 effect)."
"Much appreciated, Yugi." Seto drew. "In the end, your desperate attempt to have Gaia keep up with my dragon won't save you. Attack Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Take down his sorry excuse of a knight."
Gaia was blasted (Yugi 600/Seto 400).
"Oh no, Yugi has nothing on the field or in his hand to defend with." Syrus stated worriedly.
"To top it off, Neo Blue-Eyes can just attack twice more due to its own effect." Chumley added.
"It's far more troubling than that given what Beacon of White allows." Bastion alluded.
"It's not over." Seto declared. "The monster summoned by Beacon of White can attack once for every Blue-Eyes monster within my grave. This is the end!"
"No, it's not!" Yugi countered firmly. "The card I discarded through Spiral Spear Strike was my Spiritual Swords of Revealing Light. During your turn, I can banish this card from there and prevent your monster from launching direct attacks the rest of this turn."
"Not bad; however, the card you let me draw will be your undoing." Seto returned. "I set two cards face down and end my turn."
"Two Neo Blue-Eyes still rest within his grave, so his dragon is safe from targeting." Yugi contemplated. "My set card is Magicians' Defense while the card I loaded into my Sarcophagus will only be useful depending on what I draw next.
In fact, this duel pretty much comes down to what this next draw is." He put his hand on his deck before smiling. "Even with just one card to draw, there's always a chance!" He drew. "Two turns have passed since I sealed my Gold Sarcophagus.
It now opens allowing me to retrieve Piercing the Darkness. It's a continuous spell I shall activate immediately. Hy sending Dark Magician of Chaos from my deck to the grave, I can special summon Magicians' Souls(LV 1/0/0)."
An astral image of Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl together appeared. "I now activate their special ability to send Spiral Spear Strike and my set card to draw 2 more cards. That's not all. The face down I just sent was my Magicians' Defense.
When this card is sent from the field to the grave, I can special summon Dark Magician Girl(LV 6/2300/1700 effect) from my graveyard. Then, I banish the light attributed Gaia and dark attributed Dragonfire to special summon Chaos Sorcerer(LV 6/2300/2000)."
A man in black robes appeared. "Next, I activate the continuous spell Dark Magical Circle. I may look at the top 3 cards of my deck. If I find Dark Magician or a spell/trap that mentions him, I can add it to my hand. Whatever is left is returned to the deck in any order I wish."
He excavated the three cards and looked at his options. "Black Luster Soldier – Super Soldier, Destined Rivals, and Magician's Rod." He nodded. "I'll add the trap Destined Rivals to my hand while the remaining two are placed how I want them."
"You've got to be kidding me." Seto voiced. "I'm willing to bet there's not a card in your grave that can be used, and I know nothing on your field can help you. With that trap being the only card in your hand, you've got nothing."
"Wrong because I've recently picked up a new Xyz monster that can be created by overlaying my Level 6 Chaos Sorcerer with my Level 6 Dark Magician Girl. I construct the overlay network. Xyz summon Magi Magi Magician Gal(R 6/O2/2400/2000)."
A magician girl in a black version of the original's attire appeared. "To use her effect, I must banish 1 card from my hand, such as Destined Rivals, and detach one overlay unit." Magi Magi Magician Gal(R 6/O1/2400/2000). "Now, I can take one of your monsters."
"I've already told you, targeting my Blue-Eyes is impossible." Seto declared. "With the 2 Neo Blue-Eyes I still have in my grave, doing that will see your monster negated and destroyed."
"That's why I'm not targeting your dragons." Yugi informed. "While Magi Magi can take a monster on the field, your grave is also an acceptable place to root around in, far as her effect is concerned. I summon your The King of D.(LV 4/1200/1100)."
A man wearing the bone armor of a dragon and wielding a three headed Blue-Eyes guitar appeared. "Now, I'll introduce you to an effect of one of my Rank 7 Xyzs I haven't used before. I'm permitted to bring him out by rebuilding the overlay network with a Rank 6 Spellcaster.
That's just what I'll do with Magi Magi Magician Gal. Xyz summon Ebon Illusion Magician(R 7/O 2/2500/2100)." A man with long blond hair and black robes appeared. "By detaching one overlay unit, I can special summon any normal spellcaster-type monster from my hand or deck.
Come on out Dark Magician(LV 7/2500/2100)." The purple robbed ace took the field, the students were just watching this amazing display slack jawed by what Yugi was pulling off. "Now, one of Piercing the Darkness' effects activates.
As I summoned a normal monster, I'm permitted to draw 1 card." As he already set it up with his Circle, there was no hope needed here. "Dark Magical Circle also triggers. Since Dark Magician was summoned, I can banish any 1 card you control, and I choose Beacon of White."
"Nice try, but I won't let my dragon be destroyed like that." Seto declared. "I chain my trap, The Ultimate Creature of Destruction. By using this on Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, she's unaffected by all other effects, and the only monster destroyed in a battle with her is yours."
"With that not working, looks like I need to go with plan B." Yugi declared. "I still have my normal summon and will use it on Magician's Rod(LV 3/1600/100)." An astral robe wielding the rod of Dark Magician appeared, filling Yugi's field with 5 spellcasters.
"Thanks to it, I add Secrets of Dark Magic to my hand, and I'll use it to fuse all 5 of the spellcasters on my field together. I call upon the pinnacle of Spellcaster Fusions. Fusion summon Quintet Magician(LV 12/4500/4500)."
A tall Magician in regal blue, purple, and gold spellcaster robes appeared with multiple, archaic runes floating around him. Upon being Fusion Summoned through five differently named materials, I can destroy all cards my opponent controls."
Seto's remaining face down, Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon, and Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon began to glow blue. "Nice try again, but as I said, my Ultimate Dragon is unstoppable this turn." Said Dragon returned to normal. "There's nothing you can do to destroy it."
"You're right Kaiba." Yugi voiced. "I can't destroy your dragon this turn, but I will win this duel. "Quintet Magician, attack Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" The five runes moved before Quintet's right hand as he held it out.
"You've lost it." Seto voiced. "My dragon has 5500 ATK, so all you're doing now is ending this duel quicker."
"Not quite." Yugi smiled. "When a normal monster with a level of 5 or higher, or a Ritual monster/Extra Deck created through at least one normal monster attacks, it gains ATK equal to that of its attack target's."
Quintet Magician(LV 12/10000/4500 effect)
"10,000 ATK!" Seto exclaimed.
"Quintet Magician, bring this duel to an end with Quintuple Dark Magic Attack!" Yugi exclaimed.
Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon withstood the attack; however, Seto's life points were a whole other matter as they were depleted (Yugi 600/Seto 0).
The room was quiet for the longest moment until the students broke out in applause and cheers.
"It was an exceptional lesson on using cards, not just playing them." Zane noted, his image of what it took to be a pro duelist now clearer than ever.
"That was a sweet match!" Jaden exclaimed.
"Yeah, those two are leagues above pretty much anyone." Dimitri added.
"Those two walk radically different paths, yet they're both so strong." Kai voiced.
On the arena floor, Yugi approached his longtime rival and extended his hand. "Good game."
"Yeah, it was." Seto agreed, taking and shaking the offered hand.
As the students and faculty began to file out of the chamber, all 5 duels finished, the pair walked off to reconvene with Joey. Aside from not beating Yugi, which was something Kaiba was all too familiar with at their point, he was confident all points he wanted were achieved.
Next chapter, there will be a small section at the beginning where I essentially wrap up this mini arc. The rest of that chapter will then move into the content of the next episode. As this whole mini arc does replace the King of Copycats, what's next for me to cover would be a certain 'transfer student'. That said, it is another of those episodes where I can give a duel to someone who hasn't dueled a character of the day yet. I also got a little extra I'll be inserting there.
Vital Info: I could totally see Joey having a more fun that still built reletievely well. I could see him using it against his child as they bond through dueling, or maybe he busts it out just to have a fun duel with his friends. Not that being a pro isn't fun but sometimes you got to have a stress reliever. Yeah, Alcor is Daemon's oc; however, his only association with destiny, so far, is that he's another managed duelist under Sartorius. His deck is actually something else outside of destiny.
By the way, we're now moving this weekend.
