My Yu-Gi-Oh and Gx Episodes Season 4 Part 1

My Yu-Gi-Oh and Gx Episodes

Season 4

From this point on, I will be using the Duelist’s words / phrases from the show Yu-Gi-Oh Gx. I will show on this page only what they say on Gx and what it means for us like this: Duelist’s line on Gx = What it means. I will only do this one and only for the new characters. Here they are: Aster Phoenix: Two turns into the future = Removed from play for 2 turns. Tyranno Hassleberry: Front and center! = I summon in Attack Mode!, Report for duty! = I summon!, Time for combat! = Let’s duel!, This war is on. = I’ll start this duel., In the trenches (Note: not actually said but will be used) = In Defense Mode, Landmines = Trap Cards, Here’s the deal, = What it does is / Here’s how it works. Troops = Monsters. I’ll lay a card face down and refer to you. = I set 1 card face down and end my turn. As I said before, I won’t indicate that a Monster’s ATK or DEF has been increased / decreased with the “[ ]”. I will include my own Tarot Cards in this season as well.

Machine’s Re-Volt (1)

Previously...

“I set 1 Monster in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. That ends my turn. (4)

“Back to me,” said Crowler. I activate Heavy Storm, Storm, destroying all Spell and Trap Cards! Now I can activate the effect of my Statue of the Wicked Trap!

“What’s that?” asked Yugi.

“A Trap Card that summons a Wicked Fiend Token (1000) in Attack Mode,” said Crowler. Now then, I tribute my 2 Monsters for Emes the Infinity (2500) in Attack Mode. My Gear Tank now deals you 600 damage since it was destroyed. Yugi’s LPs drop to 7200. Emes, destroy his face down Monster! My Monster will now get stronger by 700 points since your Monster was destroyed.

“I don’t think so, take a closer look!” said Yugi. It’s Marshmellon (0500) and since you attacked him while he was face down, you take 1000 damage! Crowler’s LPs drop to 7000. As a bonus, he can’t be destroyed in battle. Give me your best shot!

“Fine, no matter,” said Crowler. I end my turn. Wait until you see what else I have! (3)

“I use Monster Reborn to revive Beta from my Graveyard in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. Then, I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1800) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (3)

“I summon Ancient Gear (0800) in Defense Mode,” said Crowler. Next, I play Ancient Gear Castle! This Spell adds 300 ATK to any Ancient Gear Monster and gets a counter each time a Monster is Normal Summoned or Set. Ancient Gear’s ATK rises to 400. That ends my turn. (2)

“I play Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1700) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. Then, I tribute my Magnet Warriors to play Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500) in Attack Mode! Valkyrion, destroy Emes the Infinity! Emes is destroyed and Crowler’s LPs drop to 6000. Finally, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (1)

“I summon the Monster known as Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon,” said Crowler.

“But that Monster has 8 stars and you don’t have Monsters to tribute!” said Yugi.

“My Castle has another effect,” said Crowler. Every time a Monster is Normal Summoned or Set, my card gets a counter and since 3 counters are on it, I can send it to the Graveyard and count as the tributes. Rise, Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon (3300) in Attack Mode!

“My Valkyrion’s still stronger,” said Yugi.

“Doesn’t matter for I play Ancient Gear Fist and equip it to my Gadjiltron Dragon,” said Crowler. Any Monster he attacks is destroyed after Damage Calculation. Gadjiltron Dragon, attack Valkyrion! Gadjiltron Dragon and Gear Fist are destroyed and Crowler’s LPs drop to 5800. Now your Monster goes too! Valkyrion is destroyed. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

“I play Red Gadget (1500) in Defense Mode and thanks to him, Yellow Gadget comes to my hand,” said Yugi. That ends my turn. (2)

“I activate my face down card, another Statue of the Wicked, summoning another token which I tribute along with my Ancient Gear for Ancient Gear Golem (3000) in Attack Mode,” said Crowler. Gear Golem, attack Marshmellon!

“Why are you attacking?” asked Yugi. Marshmellon can’t be destroyed in battle.

“Yes but my Gear Golem has a special effect,” said Crowler. When it attacks a Monster in Defense Mode, you take the difference between my Golem’s ATK and your Monster’s DEF. Yugi’s LPs drop to 4700. That ends my turn. (0)

“I summon Yellow Gadget (1200) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. Yellow Gadget lets me add Green Gadget to my hand and that ends my turn. (3)

“Gear Golem, attack Marshmellon!” said Crowler. Marshmellon isn’t destroyed and Yugi’s LPs drop to 2200. I win next turn so make your move. (1)

“I play Pot of Greed, giving me 2 more cards,” said Yugi. Then, I summon Green Gadget (0600) in Defense Mode. With Green Gadget summoned, I would normally add Red Gadget to my hand but I don’t have anymore in my deck so I set 2 cards face down and activate Card of Sanctity, forcing us both to draw until our hands hold 6 cards. Next, I play Swords of Revealing Light, stopping attacks from all Monsters you control for 3 turns. I’m not giving up yet!

To be continued…

The Triple Threat (2)

Previously…

“I play Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards,” said Alexis. Next, I play Machine Angel Ritual, discarding Cyber Angel Benten and Cyber Petit Angel to summon Cyber Angel Benten (2700) in Attack Mode.

“My Monster still has more points,” said Kagemaru.

“Doesn’t matter for my Monster’s effect activates, forcing you to destroy 1 of your own Monsters,” said Alexis. Looks like you only have one, oh well. Hamon is destroyed. Cyber Angel Benten, attack Kagemaru directly! Kagemaru’s LPs drop to 4500. That ends my turn. (0)

“I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Kagemaru. (1)

“Cyber Angel Benten, attack directly! Kagemaru’s LPs drop to 1800. That ends my turn. (1)

“I activate the Field Spell Fallen Paradise, allowing me to draw 2 cards once per turn, like now. Then I use Heavy Storm, destroying my face down cards, Statue of the Wicked, giving me 3 Fiend-Type tokens! I tribute the tokens for Raviel, Lord of Phantasms (4000) in Attack Mode. This is the last Monster you’ll ever see! Next, I play Raviel, destroy her Cyber Angel Benten! Cyber Angel Benten is destroyed and Alexis’ LPs drop to 1500. That ends my turn. (1)

“I play Cyber Tutu (0800) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Alexis.

“I draw and activate Monster Reincarnation, which, by discarding 1 card, lets me return Uria to my hand. Next, I use the effect of Fallen Paradise for 2 cards. Then I use Premature Burial to revive the Monster I discarded, The Creator (2300) in Attack Mode by relinquishing 800 points. His LPs drop to 1000. The Creator, destroy Cyber Tutu! Cyber Tutu is destroyed. Raviel, end this duel! Alexis’ LPs drop to 0.

“The winner is… Kagemaru!” said Roland. The next duel will begin in 3 hours! All remaining participants, please ready your decks!

“Alexis!” yelled Jaden. He and the gang rush over. Are you alright? Meanwhile…

“With that Slifer Slacker not around, I can think of plans to get him expelled!” said Crowler. He sees Yugi. Aren’t you Yugi Muto, the King of Games?

“Yup, that’s me,” said Yugi. Who are you?

“Dr. Vellian Crowler, “ said Crowler.

“You work at Duel Academy, right?” asked Yugi.

“I do and I would like to see how you fair against me in a duel,” said Crowler.

“Okay then, let’s duel!” said Yugi. I’ll start with Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700) in Attack Mode. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (4)

“I play Ancient Gear Soldier (1300) in Attack Mode,” said Crowler.

“Why Attack Mode?” asked Yugi. He’s weaker than my Magnet Warrior.

“Not for long,” said Crowler. I equip my soldier with Ancient Gear Tank, raising his ATK by 600! Gear Soldier’s ATK rises to 1900. Ancient Gear Soldier, destroy his Magnet Warrior!

“I activate my Trap Card…” started Yugi.

“Sorry but you can’t activate Trap or Spell Cards when an Ancient Gear Monster attacks,” said Crowler. Beta is destroyed and Yugi’s LPs drop to 7800. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (3)

“I set 1 Monster in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. That ends my turn. (4)

“Back to me,” said Crowler. I activate Heavy Storm, destroying all Spells and Traps on the field! Now I can activate the effect of my Statue of the Wicked Trap!

“What’s that?” asked Yugi.

“I don’t think so, take a closer look!” said Yugi. It’s Marshmellon (0500) and since you attacked him while he was face down, you take 1000 damage!

To be continued…

The Triple Threat (1)

“Attention duelists, the next round of the KC World Cup!” said Roland. All participants, please report to the large room so we can prepare the next match up! Selector start! The balls bounce around and one rolls out. Our first duelist in the Semi Finals is Alexis Rhodes!

“Roland, activate the selector again!” said Kaiba.

“Yes, Mr. Kaiba,” said Roland. Selector begin again! The balls bounce around once more and another ball rolls out. The next match up has been announced! Alexis Rhodes will face Kagemaru in the next round! Everyone, please report to the top of the blimp! A few minutes later…Alexis Rhodes, Kagemaru, prepare your decks!

“I’ll begin this duel with Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards,” said Kagemaru. Then, I set 3 cards face down and end my turn (4)

“I play Etoile Cyber (1200) in Attack Mode,” said Alexis. Etoile Cyber, direct attack! Oh and when she attacks you directly, she gets 500 more ATK! Etoile Cyber’s ATK rises to 1700.

“I activate my Ultimate Offering, Spellbinding Circle, and Chain Burst Trap Cards!” said Kagemaru. Ultimate Offering allows us to pay 500 points and summon or set additional Monsters. Spellbinding Circle stops your Cyber’s attack and Chain Burst inflicts 1000 damage to the player who activates a Trap Card.

“I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Alexis. Etoile Cyber’s ATK returns to 1200. (4)

“I send my 3 Trap Cards to my Graveyard for Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (0000) in Attack Mode,” said Kagemaru.

“Why would you summon a Monster with no ATK, much less one with less ATK than mine?” asked Alexis.

“Uria has a special effect,” said Kagemaru. For every Continuous Trap Card in my Graveyard, he gets an additional 1000 ATK. Uria’s ATK rises to 3000. Uria, attack Etoile Cyber!

“I activate Hallowed Life Barrier, which by tossing out 1 card, I don’t take damage this turn,” said Alexis. Etoile Cyber is still destroyed.

“You now take 1000 damage for using Hallowed Life Barrier thanks to Chain Burst!” said Kagemaru. Alexis’ LPs drop to 7000. That ends my turn. (4)

“I play Cyber Gymnast (0800) in Attack Mode,” said Alexis.

“Looks like you want to lose the duel,” said Kagemaru.

“Not exactly for I use her special effect, tossing out Cyber Angel Dakini,” said Alexis. Now your Uria is destroyed! Uria is destroyed. Cyber Gymnast, attack directly! Kagemaru’s LPs drop to 7200. Next, I set 1 card and end my turn. (2)

“I play Spell Economics, Spell Absorption, and Level Limit Area - B,” said Kagemaru. Thanks to Spell Absorption, I gain 500 LPs when a Spell Card is activated. Spell Economics removes the need for me to pay LPs for activating Spell Cards and Level Limit Area - B puts all Monsters into Defense Mode. Next, I send my Spell Cards to my Graveyard to summon Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (4000) in Attack Mode. Hamon, destroy Cyber Gymnast! Cyber Gymnast is destroyed and Alexis’ LPs drop to 3800. Hamon’s effect now activates, dealing you 1000 damage when it destroys a Monster in battle. Alexis’ LPs drop to 2800. That ends my turn. (1)

“I play Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards,” said Alexis. Next, I play Machine Angel Ritual, discarding Cyber Angel Benten and Cyber Petit Angel to summon Cyber Angel Benten (2700) in Attack Mode.

“My Monster still has more points,” said Kagemaru.

“I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Kagemaru. (1)

“Cyber Angel Benten, attack directly! Kagemaru’s LPs drop to 1800. That ends my turn. (1)

“I activate my face down cards, Statue of the Wicked, giving me 3 Fiend-Type tokens!

To be continued…

The Paths of Destiny (4)

Previously…

“My move,” said Aster. You now get Ultimate Dragon back again but now, I tribute my 3 Monsters for the one and only Destiny Hero - Plasma (1900) in Attack Mode.

“All that for a 1900 ATK Monster?” asked Kaiba. How pathetic.

“Have you heard of his special effect?” asked Aster. What he does is allow me to equip him with one of your Monsters and gain half of that Monster’s ATK and every one of that Monster’s effects. So I’ll take your Ultimate Dragon! Plasma’s ATK rises to 4150. Destiny Hero Plasma, destroy Luster Dragon #2!

You’ve triggered my Trap Card, Shadow Spell,” said Kaiba. Your Monster loses 700 ATK and is forbidden to change Modes. Plasma’s ATK drops to 3450.

“I end my turn,” said Aster. (0)

“How sad,” said Kaiba drawing his card. I use my Monster Reborn Spell to revive my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to my field. Ultimate Dragon, trounce his last defense! D - Cubic is destroyed. Make your final move! (0)

“I will,” said Aster. I play Destiny Hero - Fear Monger (1000) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“That Monster won’t last long, in fact, it won’t last on my attack!” said Kaiba. Ultimate Dragon, destroy Fear Monger! Fear Monger is destroyed. Then, I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

“My move and courtesy of my Fear Monger, I get to play a Destiny Hero Monster from my Graveyard,” said Aster. I choose Doom Lord! Next, I use his effect, meaning goodbye to Ultimate Dragon for 2 turns. Finally, I tribute Doom Lord for Destiny Hero - Dasher (2100) in Attack Mode and end my turn. (0)

“I play Silent Doom, allowing me to bring back my Blue-Eyes (2500) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Kaiba.

“I’m going to end this now!” said Aster. I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200) in Attack Mode. Then, I tribute her so Dasher gets a 1000 ATK boost for one turn! Dasher’s ATK rises to 3100. Dasher, destroy his last Monster!

“Sorry but this duel’s not done for I reveal my Mirror Force Trap!” said Kaiba. Dasher is destroyed.

“That ends my turn,” said Aster. (0)

“I play Card of Demise, letting me draw 5 cards and after 5 turns have passed, I lose my hand,” said Kaiba. I set 2 cards face down and destroy Plasma with my Ultimate Dragon! Plasma and Shadow Spell are destroyed, reducing Aster’s LPs to 1850. Make your move! (3)

“Time for you to face destiny!” said Aster. Since my Dasher’s in my Graveyard, I get to Special Summon a Monster from my hand by showing it to you. Look at that, its Elemental Hero Bubbleman (1200) in Defense Mode. That’s not all for thanks to Bubbleman’s effect, with nothing in my hand or on my field except himself, I draw twice! Next, I tribute Bubbleman for another Destiny Hero Dasher in Attack Mode.

“I activate my face down Trap, Ring of Destruction!” said Kaiba. Now your Dasher is destroyed and we both take 2100 damage!

“What’s the point?” asked Aster. It’ll end in a draw.

“Not exactly for I reveal my Spell, Ring of Defense!” said Kaiba. Now all the damage I would’ve taken is dealt to you! You lose, Aster! Aster’s LPs drop to 0.

“The winner of the duel is Seto Kaiba!” said Roland. All remaining participants, prepare your decks for the next duel will begin in an hour! Meanwhile…

“Looks like Aster wasn’t destined to win the tournament,” said Sartorius. I must find who is!

Elsewhere…

“That fool didn’t know what hit him,” said Kaiba. Destiny? Please. That Aster obviously didn’t know he’d lose to me, a far more superior duelist than he’ll ever be! He laughs.

The Paths of Destiny (3)

Previously…

“I summon Spear Dragon (1900) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Spear Dragon, attack his Doom Lord! Doom Lord is not destroyed. Your LPs aren’t safe thanks to Spear Dragon’s effect for he deals damage to you equal to the difference in his ATK and Doom Lord’s DEF.

“I don’t think so,” said Aster. As long as Clock Tower Prison has 4 Clock Counters on it, I’ll never take any Battle Damage.

“I use Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Clock Tower!” said Kaiba. Clock Tower Prison is destroyed.

“Thank you, now I can summon another Destiny Hero to my field,” said Aster. Thanks to Clock Tower’s other effect, if it’s destroyed with 4 Clock Counters on it, I can now summon Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster (????) in Attack Mode. Dreadmaster’s effect now activates, destroying all Destiny Hero Monsters I control but there aren’t any and he also lets me bring back Double Dude and Diamond Dude to my field. As an added bonus, his ATK and DEF equal Diamond Dude and Double Dude’s combined ATK! Dreadmaster’s ATK rises to 2400.

“Big deal, he’s no match for my Ultimate Dragon,” said Kaiba. My Spear Dragon now switches to Defense Mode and I also switch Vorse Raider to Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“I play another Field Spell, Dark City, boosting the ATK of a Destiny Hero Monster that attacks a Monster with more ATK,” said Aster. Dreadmaster, destroy Vorse Raider!

“I activate Shrink, which halves your Monster’s ATK for one turn!” said Kaiba. Dreadmaster’s ATK drops to 1200 then rises to 2200 by Dark City’s effect and Vorse Raider is destroyed.

“I end my turn,” said Aster. (0) No one hides from destiny!

“I tribute Spear Dragon for Luster Dragon #2 (2400) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. That ends my turn. (0)

“My move,” said Aster. Now, I tribute my 3 Monsters for the one and only Destiny Hero - Plasma (1900) in Attack Mode.

“All that for a 1900 ATK Monster?” asked Kaiba. How pathetic.

“You’ve triggered my Trap Card, Shadow Spell,” said Kaiba. Your Monster loses 700 ATK and is forbidden to change Modes. Plasma’s ATK drops to 3450.

“I end my turn,” said Aster. (0)

“Time to finish you off!” said Kaiba. I remove my Blue-Eyes and my Vorse Raider from play to summon a Monster that will take your Monster down despite having less ATK!

“What Monster?” asked Aster.

“I summon Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envy of the End (3000) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Next, I use his special effect. By paying 1000 points, all cards in our hands and on the field are automatically destroyed and you take 300 damage per card destroyed! His LPs drop to 250 and Chaos Emperor Dragon, Shadow Spell, Luster Dragon #2, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Spear Dragon and Dark City, and Destiny Hero Plasma are destroyed, along with the remaining cards in Kaiba’s hand, reducing Aster’s LPs to 2900.

“So much for your strategy said Aster. I thought you said you were going to beat me this turn but I guess not as I only lost 2100 points.

“Just go,” said Kaiba. (0)

“Fine,” said Aster. I summon D - Cubic (0000) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

To be continued…

The Paths of Destiny (2)

Previously…

“I play the Field Spell Mausoleum of the Emperor,” said Aster. Now our high-level Monsters don’t need tributes but in exchange we must pay 1000 points for every tribute the summoned Monster needed. I give up 1000 points to summon Destiny Hero - Double Dude (1000) in Attack Mode. His LPs drop to 7000. Then I use Doom Lord’s special effect, sending your Dragon two turns into the future for you see, everything’s predetermined. Ultimate Dragon disappears and Kaiba laughs.

“Are you expecting me to believe that?” asked Kaiba. Nothing’s predetermined!

“Say goodbye to Dogma!” said Kaiba. His LPs drop to 3500. What happened to my LPs?

“Dogma’s special effect takes out half your points at your next Standby Phase,” said Aster. Oh and one other thing, Clock Tower Prison gets a Clock Counter at each of your Standby Phases.

“I don’t need a clock to tell time,” said Kaiba. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, destroy Dogma!

“I activate Eternal Dread, giving my Clock Tower 2 more counters,” said Aster. Dogma is still destroyed and his LPs drop to 5900.

“Tell me, did you see that coming?” asked Kaiba.

“Doesn’t matter,” said Aster. Destiny has chosen me to take you down!

“I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Kaiba. (1)

“Then it’s back to me and thanks to Diamond Dude, Polymerization normally activates, but since I don’t have its requirements, it’s useless,” said Aster. I activate my Pot of Greed Spell, giving me 2 cards. Next, I use Graceful Charity for another 3 cards as long as I discard 2. Then, I play Over Destiny, allowing me to remove Dogma from my Graveyard to Special Summon Diamond Dude in Defense Mode. Finally, I summon Destiny Hero - Defender (2700) in Defense Mode and end my turn. As long as Defender stays in Defense Mode, you draw 1 card during your Standby Phases. (1)

“I summon Vorse Raider (1900) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, destroy Defender! Defender is destroyed. That ends my turn. (2)

“I draw,” said Aster. I end my turn. (1)

“Ultimate Dragon, destroy Diamond Dude!” said Kaiba. Diamond Dude is destroyed. That ends my turn. (3)

“I play Misfortune, which, by skipping my Battle Phase subtracts half of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from your LPs,” said Aster. Kaiba’s LPs drop to 1250. Finally, I play Ring of Magnetism, which lowers my Doom Lord’s ATK and DEF by 500 but prevents you from attacking any other Monster. Doom Lord’s stats drop to (100/300). Last but not least, I end my turn. (0)

“I don’t think so,” said Aster. As long as Clock Tower Prison has 4 Clock Counters on it, I’ll never take any Battle Damage.

“I use Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your Clock Tower!” said Kaiba. Clock Tower Prison is destroyed.

“Thank you, now I can summon another Destiny Hero to my field,” said Aster. It’s all thanks to Clock Tower’s other effect. If it’s destroyed with 4 Clock Counters on it, I can now summon Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster (????) in Attack Mode. Dreadmaster’s effect now activates, destroying all Destiny Hero Monsters I control but there aren’t any and he also lets me bring back Double Dude and Diamond Dude to my field. As an added bonus, his ATK and DEF equal Diamond Dude and Double Dude’s combined ATK! Dreadmaster’s ATK rises to 2400.

“Big deal, he’s no match for my Ultimate Dragon,” said Kaiba. My Spear Dragon now switches to Defense Mode and I also switch Vorse Raider to Defense Mode and end my turn. (3)

“I play another Field Spell, Dark City, boosting the ATK of a Destiny Hero Monster that attacks a Monster with more ATK,” said Aster. Dreadmaster, destroy Vorse Raider!

“I activate Shrink, which halves your Monster’s ATK for one turn!” said Kaiba.

“I end my turn,” said Aster. (0) No one hides from destiny!

To be continued…

The Paths of Destiny (1)

Previously…

“I think I’ll go first,” said Aster. I summon Destiny Hero - Doom Lord (0600) in Attack Mode.

“Ha, nice card, did a three year-old make that for you?” asked Kaiba.

“You wouldn’t be making fun of my Monsters if you knew their effects,” said Aster. Do you believe in destiny?

“No and never will,” said Kaiba.

“Fine, whatever, I’ll make you a believer sooner or later,” said Aster. I set 1 card and end my turn. (4)

“Watch a pro play a real Monster,” said Kaiba. I use Polymerization, discarding my 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons to my Graveyard for Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500) in Attack Mode. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, destroy Doom Lord! Doom Lord is not destroyed. How did your Monster survive?

“I activated my D - Shield Trap Card, which switched Doom Lord to Defense Mode and making him indestructible in battle,” said Aster. Destiny’s going to take you down!

“Whatever,” said Kaiba. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (1)

“Are you expecting me to believe that?” asked Kaiba. Nothing’s predetermined!

“Sounds like you have much to learn about Destiny,” said Aster. I play Destiny Draw, allowing me to draw 2 cards by sending Destiny Hero Malicious to my Graveyard. There’s still more as I remove my Malicious to summon Destiny Hero - Malicious (0800) in Attack Mode. Finally, I set 1 card face down end my turn. (2)

“I use your Field Spell’s effect to summon Kaiser Glider (2400) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. His LPs drop to 7000. Kaiser Glider, destroy his Malicious!

“Sorry but I reveal D - Counter, which automatically destroys your Monster since you’re attacking a Destiny Hero Monster,” said Aster. Kaiser Glider is destroyed.

“I end my turn,” said Kaiba. (1)

“Since two turns have passed, you get Ultimate Dragon back,” said Aster. Ultimate Dragon reappears on Kaiba’s field. Now do you believe that everything is predetermined? I summon Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (1400) in Attack Mode. Do you like card tricks? My Diamond Dude’s going to perform one by flipping the top card of my deck and magically make it disappear for one turn if it’s a Normal Spell. He flips the top card. It’s a Normal Spell so it goes to my Graveyard this turn and next turn it’s effect activates. Now it’s time to summon the ultimate Destiny Hero! I tribute Diamond Dude, Malicious and Double Dude for Destiny Hero - Dogma (3400) in Attack Mode.

“You cannot summon 2 Monsters in one turn without Ultimate Offering…unless… that’s a Special Summon?” asked Kaiba.

“That’s right,” said Aster. Next, I destroy my Field Spell using Mystical Space Typhoon to activate another one, Clock Tower Prison! That ends my turn. (0)

“Say goodbye to Dogma!” said Kaiba. His LPs drop to 3500. What happened to my LPs?

“Dogma’s special effect takes out half your points at your next Standby Phase,” said Aster. Oh and one other thing, Clock Tower Prison gets a Clock Counter at each of your Standby Phases.

“I don’t need a clock to tell time,” said Kaiba. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, destroy Dogma!

“I activate Eternal Dread, giving my Clock Tower 2 more counters,” said Aster. Dogma is still destroyed and his LPs drop to 5900.

“Tell me, did you see that coming?” asked Kaiba.

“Doesn’t matter,” said Aster. Destiny has chosen me to take you down!

To be continued…

Fear from the Dark (2)

Previously…

“I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600) in Attack Mode,” said Jaden. Sparkman, destroy his Dark Necrofear! Sparkman’s ATK rises to 2600 and Dark Necrofear is destroyed, reducing (Bakura’s) LPs to 2000 while his legs and feet disappear. (Bakura) laughs.

“Thanks for destroying Necrofear for now I can equip him to your Wingman,” said (Bakura).

“I end my turn,” said Jaden. (0)

“I tribute Flame Wingman for Great Maju Garzett (0000) in Attack Mode,” said (Bakura).

“What’s the point of tributing a Monster for another Monster with no points?” asked Jaden.

“Great Maju Garzett’s effect gives him twice the ATK of the Monster used to summon him,” said (Bakura) Since your Wingman has 2100 ATK, Garzett has 4200 ATK. It’s all over for you! Maju Garzett’s ATK rises to 4200. Maju Garzett, destroy his Sparkman! Sparkman is destroyed and Jaden’s LPs drop to 1350 while his midsection vanishes. Soon you’ll be engulfed by the shadows for all eternity! That ends my turn. (0)

“My move,” said Jaden. This is my last chance to defeat (Bakura). I play Miracle Fusion, which removes Flame Wingman and Sparkman from my Graveyard to summon Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman (2500) in Attack Mode. Here comes the best part as my Shining Flare Wingman gains 300 ATK per Elemental Hero Monster in my Graveyard! Since there are 5 Elemental Heroes in my Graveyard, he gains 1500 ATK! Shining Flare’s ATK rises to 4000. Shining Flare Wingman, destroy Great Maju Garzett! Shining Flare’s ATK rises to 5000 and Maju Garzett is destroyed, reducing (Bakura’s) LPs to 1200, causing his feet disappear.

“Sorry but I’m still standing,” said (Bakura).

“Not for long for my Shining Flare has another effect,” said Jaden. Since your Monster was destroyed by Shining Flare Wingman, you take his ATK as damage! (Bakura’s) LPs drop to 0. That’s game! The arena drops.

“Way to play, Jay!” said Syrus.

“Thanks Syrus,” said Jaden.

“The next duel will begin in one hour so participants, ready your decks!” said Roland.

“Aster!” said Kaiba.

“Well, the famous Seto Kaiba,” said Aster.

“You’re going to lose to me in the next round,” said Kaiba.

“Not likely,” said Aster. It’s my destiny to win this tournament. Elsewhere…

“Yes, win this tournament,” said Sartorius. Soon all of them will see the light! Meanwhile…

“I’d better prepare my deck to be ready for any opponent I face,” said Yugi. Twenty minutes later…

“Attention duelists, Round 2 is about to begin,” said Roland. Please report to the top of the dueling arena! Aster Phoenix, Mr. Kaiba, let the duel begin!

“I think I’ll go first,” said Aster. I summon Destiny Hero - Doom Lord (0600) in Attack Mode.

“Ha, nice card, did a three year-old make that for you?” asked Kaiba.

“You wouldn’t be making fun of my Monsters if you knew their effects,” said Aster. Do you believe in destiny?

“No and never will,” said Kaiba.

“Fine, whatever, I’ll make you a believer sooner or later,” said Aster. I set 1 card and end my turn. (4)

“I activated my D - Shield Trap Card, which switched Doom Lord to Defense Mode and making him indestructible in battle,” said Aster. Destiny’s going to take you down!

Fear from the Dark (1)

Previously…

“Fellow duelists, it’s time to start the finals of our KC World Cup!” said Kaiba. All finalists, please report to Kaiba Craft 3 using the locater cards you won!

“It’s my destiny to win this tournament!” said Aster. He places the locater cards on the duel disk.

“Too cool!” said Jaden. Let’s throw down with the other opponents! They arrive at the site an hour later.

“May I have your attention please?” asked Roland. To find out who’s facing who, we will be chosen by lottery.

“Begin!” said Kaiba.

“Yes, Mr. Kaiba,” said Roland. The ping-pong balls inside the machine bounce around and one falls out. First up is Jaden Yuki! Now for his opponent. The balls bounce around once more and another one falls out. Jaden Yuki’s opponent is… Bakura!

“Such a pity he has less points than my Monster,” said (Bakura).

“I’m not done for I play Skyscraper, which gives attacking Elemental Hero Monsters 1000 ATK if their attack target has more ATK when damage is calculated. Then, I use H - Heated Heart to raise his ATK by 500 for one turn! Mariner’s ATK rises to 1900. Mariner, attack Demise! Mariner’s ATK rises to 2900 and Demise is destroyed, reducing (Bakura’s) LPs to 5500. That ends my turn. Mariner’s ATK returns to 1400. (0)

“My draw,” said Jaden. Sweet! I activate Pot of Greed, giving me two more options. It’s over!

Next, I summon Wroughtweiler (1200) in Defense Mode and end my turn. I’m in it ‘till the end! (1)

“I tribute my Gross Ghost for Dark Ruler Ha Des (2450) in Attack Mode,” said (Bakura). Dark Ruler, destroy Mariner! Mariner is destroyed and Jaden’s LPs drop to 3950 while his legs disappear. Make your move! (0)

“You got it!” said Jaden. I have nothing but Wroughtweiler to defend me. I throw down and end my turn. (0)

“Since I have 3 Fiend-Type Monsters in my Graveyard, I remove them to summon Dark Necrofear (2200) in Attack Mode by his special effect,” said (Bakura). Dark Necrofear, destroy Wroughtweiler! Wroughtweiler is destroyed.

“I activate Hero Signal, letting me bring out Elemental Hero Clayman (2000) in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. Since you destroyed Wroughtweiler, his effect activates, returning Avian and Polymerization to my hand.

“Dark Ruler, destroy Clayman!” said (Bakura). Clayman is destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

“My draw,” said Jaden. Just what I needed! I play Polymerization, which sends Avian and Burstinatrix in my hand to my Graveyard to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100) in Attack Mode. Flame Wingman attack his Dark Ruler! Flame Wingman’s ATK rises to 3100 and Dark Ruler is destroyed, reducing (Bakura’s) LPs to 4850 and his chest disappears. Next, thanks to Wingman, you take the ATK of Dark Ruler out of your LPs! (Bakura’s) LPs drop to 2400 and both of his arms disappear. That ends my turn. Flame Wingman’s ATK returns to 2100. (0)

“This duel’s far from over,” said (Bakura). I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0)

“Thanks for destroying Necrofear for now I can equip him to your Wingman and take control of him,” said (Bakura).

“I end my turn,” said Jaden. (0)

“I tribute Flame Wingman for Great Maju Garzett (0000) in Attack Mode,” said (Bakura).

“What’s the point of tributing a Monster for another Monster with no points?” asked Jaden.

“Great Maju Garzett’s effect gives him twice the ATK of the Monster used to summon him,” said (Bakura) Since your Wingman has 2100 ATK, Garzett has 4200 ATK! It’s all over for you!

The KC World Cup Finals

“Fellow duelists, it’s time to start the finals of our KC World Cup!” said Kaiba. All finalists, please report to Kaiba Craft 3 using the locater cards you won!

“It’s my destiny to win this tournament!” said Aster. He places the locater cards on the duel disk.

“Too cool!” said Jaden. Let’s throw down with the other opponents! They arrive at the site an hour later.

“May I have your attention please?” asked Roland. To find out who’s facing who, we will be chosen by lottery.

“Begin!” said Kaiba.

“Then get your game on, Bakura!” said Jaden.

“Will all duelists please report to the top of Kaiba Craft 3?” asked Roland. Both participants in the first round step onto the playing field. Both duelists walk onto the platform. Raise the field! The dueling field rises upwards. The duel starts with Bakura.

“Okay, sure,” said Bakura. Before I start my turn, I’d like you to meet someone, Jaden.

“Who’s that?” asked Jaden.

“Glad you asked,” said Bakura. He activates the Millennium Ring and becomes (Bakura).

“Who are you?” asked Jaden.

“Why I’m Bakura, the dark half of him that is,” said (Bakura). Now then, on to your destruction. I play Wall of Illusion (1850) in Defense Mode and set 1 card face down to end my turn. (4)

“To kick things off, I play Elemental Hero Avian (1000) in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. Next, I throw down a face down and call it a turn. (4)

“I activate my End of the World Spell, discarding 2 Zure, Knight of Dark World cards for Demise, King or Armageddon (2400) in Attack Mode,” said Bakura. Next, I pay 2000 points to activate his effect, destroying all cards but himself on the field! (Bakura’s) LPs drop to 6000. Avian, Wall of Illusion, both (Bakura’s) and Jaden’s face down cards are destroyed. Demise, attack directly! Jaden’s LPs drop to 5600. That ends my turn. (1)

“I play The Warrior Returning Alive to retrieve Avian from my Graveyard,” said Jaden. Next, I discard him along with Bubbleman using Polymerization to summon Elemental Hero Mariner (1400) in Attack Mode.

“Such a pity he has less points than my Monster,” said (Bakura).

“Good tactics there, soldier,” said Hassleberry.

“Your mediocre fan club is annoying me so let me silence them as we now duel in the Shadow Realm!” said (Bakura) drawing his card.

“There’s no such thing,” said Jaden.

“I have to disagree,” said (Bakura). The Shadow Realm covers the playing field. Still think the Shadow Realm is a myth? Take a look at your body.

“What the…,” said Jaden. What’s going on? I can’t see my arms!

“That is because you lost LPs and the more LPs you lose, the more you are devoured by the Shadows,” said (Bakura). Now then, I set 1 card face down and summon The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams (1800) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (0)

“My draw,” said Jaden. Sweet! I activate Pot of Greed, giving me two more options. It’s over!
