Playin’ It Cool (1)

Inside Battle City

             “Thanks for winnin’ back my ability to duel again, Yug,” said Joey.

             “No problem, Joey,” said Yugi.

             “Boy that X character was definitely something, eh Yugi?” asked Joey.

             “He was also hard to beat since he nearly caused me to lose the duel,” said Yugi. Suddenly, they see a small person. Who’s there?

             “What up dude?” asked Belowski.

             “Uh, hi, and you are…?” asked Yugi quite puzzled.

             “The man calls me the little Belowski.

             “Who’s “the man”?” asked Yugi.

             “Dr. Crowler’s my man, man,” said Belowski. So, wanna have a totally righteous duel?

             “Um, sure,” said Yugi.

             “Killer, dude,” said Belowski. Behind a bush…

             “Let’s see the original King of Games stand up to this guy!” said Crowler to himself. Yugi’s friends see Yugi and rush over.

             “So, who’s this?” asked Tea`.

             “The little Belowski,” said Yugi. I’ll begin with Silent Swordsman LV3 (1000) in Attack Mode.

             “Far out!” said Belowski.

             “I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Yugi. (3)

             “Killer Monster but can it stand up to the Mokey Mokey?” asked Belowski.

             “Mokey…….Mokey?” asked Yugi.

             “Yeah,” said Belowski. I summon Mokey Mokey (0300) in Attack Mode. Then I play Mokey Mokey Smackdown. This awesome card gives Mokey Mokey cards a boost up to 3000 ATK when a Fairy-Type Monster I control is destroyed. Finally I set 2 cards and chill. (2)

             “My move,” said Yugi. First, my Silent Swordsman LV3 goes and Silent Swordsman LV5 (2300) takes his place in Attack Mode! Silent Swordsman, destroy Mokey! Mokey is destroyed and Belowski’s LPs drop to 6000. That ends my turn. (3)

             “I play Pot of Greed for 2 cards,” said Belowski. Then, I summon another Mokey in Defense Mode and end my turn. (2)

             “All of the sudden, I’m startin’ to like that Mokey Mokey,” said Joey.

             “Same here,” said Tristan.

             “My move,” said Yugi. I play Red Gadget (1200) in Attack Mode. Red Gadget allows me to add Yellow Gadget to my hand. Red Gadget, destroy Mokey Mokey! Mokey Mokey is destroyed. Silent Swordsman, direct attack! Belowski’s LPs drop to 3700. That ends my turn. (4)

             “Not cool, man,” said Belowski. I use Dark Factory of Mass Production to return my dudes to my hand. Then I use Polymerization to discard them for Mokey Mokey King (0100) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn. (0)

             “Go Mokey Mokey!” said Tea`.

             “Mokey Mokey all the way!” said Joey.

             “What have you done to my friends?” asked Yugi.

             “It’s cool, they’re just feelin’ the way of Mokey Mokey,” said Belowski.

             “I must end this now,” said Yugi. Since Silent Swordsman LV5 attacked directly last turn, I can now send him to my Graveyard for Silent Swordsman LV7 (2800) in Attack Mode. As long as he’s out, all Spell Cards are negated, including Mokey Mokey Smackdown! Silent Swordsman LV7, destroy Mokey Mokey King! Mokey Mokey King is destroyed and 3 Mokey Mokey cards take its place. What happened? How did your Mokey Mokey cards return?

When their king is destroyed, they take his place,” said Belowski.

             “I set 1 card face down and summon Yellow Gadget (1200) in Attack Mode and thanks to him I get Green Gadget from my deck,” said Yugi. That ends my turn. I must defeat him! (4)

The Dark Magician (2)

Previously…

          “You’re going to take part in a disappearing act,” said Arkana. Let’s duel!

          “Wait, where’s the act?” asked Jaden.

          “Look above you,” said Arkana.

          “Too cool, it’s…uh what is it exactly?” asked Jaden.

          “It’s the Dark Energy Guillotine,” said Arkana. The numbers on the side represent your LPs and as your LPs drop, so does the blade of the guillotine and when your head touches the blade, you’re banished to the Shadow Realm. The same applies to me.

          “Now this is a show!” said Jaden.

          “I don’t understand it, no frown, no complete terror, no attempt to run away,” said Arkana to himself. He’ll beg to be released when he’s almost out of LPs. Let’s duel! Since it’s my show, I’ll begin with Malice Doll of Demise (1600) in Attack Mode. Then I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (3)

          “Here goes,” said Jaden. I gotta draw a Monster or I’ll be sent to the Shadow Realm! Since Necroshade’s in my Grave, I can play a Monster without tributes so come on out, Elemental Hero Bladedge (2600) in Attack Mode! Bladedge, destroy Dark Magician! Dark Magician is destroyed and Arkana’s LPs drop to 3900 and the blade drops to just under 3 feet from his head. Finally, I tribute Bladedge for your card’s effect! You take 1300 damage! Bladedge disappears and Arkana’s LPs drop to 2600 while the blade drops to just above 2 feet from his head. That ends my turn. (0)

          “My move,” said Arkana. Malice Doll reappears.

          “How’d your Monster reappear?” asked Jaden.

          “If it’s sent to the Graveyard by a Continuous Spell Card effect, it automatically reappears on my field during my next turn,” said Arkana. Malice Doll, direct attack! Jaden’s LPs drop to 3900 and the blade drops to just under 3 feet from his head. Finally, my doll goes back to my Graveyard for Ectoplasmer and that ends my turn. Malice Doll disappears and Jaden’s LPs drop to 3100, putting the blade to 2 ¾ from his head.  (4)

          “My draw,” said Jaden. Without any Monsters, I can get at him directly and use his own Spell for more damage! I play Sky Scraper 2 -  Hero City, allowing me to bring back an Elemental Hero Monster that was destroyed in battle during an earlier turn so return Avian in Attack Mode! Avian, direct attack!

          “I activate Shadow Balance!” said Arkana. It balances the playing field so that the number of monsters both players have is equal and since my field’s empty, so is yours! Avian is destroyed.

          “That ends my turn,” said Jaden. (0)

          “First my Doll comes back in Attack Mode,” said Arkana. Then I summon Legion, the Fiend Chester (1500) in Defense Mode. Doll, direct attack! Jaden’s LPs drop to 1500. and the blade drops to 1 foot from his head.  To end my turn, I tribute my doll! Malice Doll disappears and Jaden’s LPs drop to 700, putting the blade to 1 ½ feet from his head. My grand finale awaits next turn! (5)

          “Time to end this!” said Jaden. I play Pot of Greed for 2 cards. Next, I play Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird (0800) in Attack Mode and use his effect, giving me 500 points for every card in your hand, and that’s 5! His LPs rise to 3300 and the blade rises to 5 ½ feet from his head. Then I throw down a face down and call it a turn. (0)

          “The show must end so prepare to enter the Shadow Realm!” said Arkana. First my doll comes back once again. Malice Doll reappears. Next, I set 1 card face down and attack your Air Hummingbird with my doll! Air Hummingbird is destroyed and Jaden’s LPs drop to 2500, putting the blade to 4 ¾ feet from his head. For my last move, I tribute it using Ectoplasmer! Malice Doll disappears and Jaden’s LPs drop to 1700, putting the blade at 3 ½ feet from his head. (6)

          “I activate my face down, Call of the Haunted to revive Bladedge!” said Jaden. Bladedge, end this! Arkana’s LPs drop to 0 and the blade falls, touching his head, causing him to disappear. Now that was a magic show! Jaden walks out of the arena. Elsewhere…

          “Seems Aster lost yet the cards predicted he’d win,” said Sartorius. I must find out why! A card falls. The Anger, symbolizing agitation is upside down, meaning that someone is often agitated by simple comments. It’s time for me to find out who this is! He gets up and walks out.

 

 

 

The Dark Magician (1)

Previously…

          “The winner of the tournament is……Jaden Yuki!” said Roland.

          “Way to play, Jay!” said Syrus.

          “We’d better get back to our dorms,” said Jaden. Outside the tower, a jester appears.

          “Uh hi, got a name?” asked Jaden. The jester says nothing and motions Jaden to follow him. Where are we going?

          “My master’s waiting for you,” said the jester.

          “For what?” asked Jaden.

          “You’ll find out if you walk into that tent,” said the jester. Jaden walks into the tent.

          “Step right up and let the magic show begin!” said Arkana. This is a performance not to be missed! Once you lose in this duel, you’ll be banished to the Shadows forever! He laughs. Follow me to the real magic show. Inside Arkana’s new arena… Welcome to the show, Jaden. You’re an exclusive guest for this performance.

          “Sweet, what am I gonna perform?” asked Jaden.

          “You’re going to take part in a disappearing act,” said Arkana. Let’s duel!

          “Wait, where’s the act?” asked Jaden.

          “Look above you,” said Arkana.

          “Too cool, it’s…uh what is it exactly?” asked Jaden.

          “It’s the Dark Energy Guillotine,” said Arkana. The numbers on the side represent your LPs and as your LPs drop, so does the blade of the guillotine and when your head touches the blade, you’re banished to the Shadow Realm. The same applies to me.

          “Now this is a show!” said Jaden.

          “I don’t understand it, no frown, no complete terror, no attempt to run away,” said Arkana to himself. He’ll beg to be released when he’s almost out of LPs. Let’s duel! Since it’s my show, I’ll begin with Malice Doll of Demise (1600) in Attack Mode. Then I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (3)

          “Okay, here goes!” said Jaden. I play Polymerization, discarding Sparkman and Necroshade for Elemental Hero Dark Brightman (2000) in Attack Mode. Destroy his doll, Brightman!

          “I activate Nightmare’s Chains, said Arkana. Your Monster goes out of play now! Dark Brightman disappears from the field.

          “I throw down a face down and end my turn,” said Jaden. (2)

          “I activate Dark Magic Curtain, paying half my points for Dark Magician (2500) in Attack Mode,” said Arkana. His LPs drop to 4000 and the blade reaches 6 feet from his head. Dark Magician, attack Jaden directly! Jaden’s LPs drop to 5500 and the blade drops to 5 feet above his head. Malice Doll, direct attack!

          “I activate A Hero Emerges, forcing you to pick one of the cards  I’m holding and if it’s a Monster, I can play it so take your pick,” said Jaden.

          “The left card,” said Arkana.

          “Not bad, I play Elemental Hero Avian (1000) in Defense Mode,” said Jaden.

          “Doll, destroy Avian!” said Arkana. Avian is destroyed. That ends my turn. (2)

          “I play Wroughtweiler (1200) in Defense Mode,” said Jaden. Then, I throw down 2 face downs and that’s all. (0)

          “I activate A Thousand Knives, allowing me to destroy 1 of your Monsters since Dark Magician is on my field so Wroughtweiler is destroyed! Wroughtweiler is destroyed. Dark Magician and Doll of Demise, direct attacks!

          “I activate Negate Attack!” said Jaden. Sorry but all your attacks are canceled this turn!

          “I activate Ectoplasmer,” said Arkana.  We now must both tribute a Monster at our End Phases and the opponent takes half the ATK of the tributed Monster as damage, so I tribute Doll of Demise for 800 damage! Malice Doll disappears and Jaden’s LPs drop to 4700, putting the blade to 5 ½ feet above his head. That ends my turn. Soon you’ll be banished to the Shadow Realm! (1)

Throwin’ Down with the Sacred Beasts (3)

Previously…

          “My draw,” said Jaden. I play Elemental Hero Bubbleman (0800) in Attack Mode by his effect and since he’s all I have on the field and nothing in my hand, I draw twice. Next I use Graceful Charity, drawin’ 3  and discardin’ 2. Then, I throw down two face downs and call it a turn. (0)

          “I use Fallen Paradise for 2 more cards,” said Kagemaru. Then, I summon Earthbound Spirit (2000) in Defense Mode. Uria, destroy Bubbleman!

          “I reveal Hero Barrier,” said Jaden. Since I have an Elemental Hero out, your attack’s cancelled!

          “Make your move, Jaden,” said Kagemaru. (3)

          “I throw down a face down and call it a turn,” said Jaden. (0)

          “I tribute my Fiend Monsters for Raviel, Lord of Phantasms (4000) in Attack Mode,” said Kagemaru. You’re finished! Raviel, destroy Winged Kuriboh! Winged Kuriboh is destroyed.

          “Since Winged Kuriboh was destroyed, I don’t take damage!” said Jaden.

          “Fine it’s your last move!” said Kagemaru. (3)

          “I play Dandelion (0300) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Jaden. (0)

          “My move,” said Kagemaru. Prepare to lose at the hands of the Sacred Beasts for I play 3 Non-Spellcasting Area cards and send them to my Graveyard for Hamon again!

          “Aw man, Jaden’s facing all 3 Sacred Beasts with only 1 Monster out,” said Syrus.

          “Hamon, destroy Dandelion!” said Kagemaru. Dandelion is destroyed. Now you take 1000 damage by Hamon’s effect! Jaden’s LPs drop to 6800.

          “When Dandelion’s destroyed in battle, I get two fluff tokens (0000 x2) in Defense Mode!” said Jaden.

          “Uria and Raviel, destroy the tokens!” said Kagemaru. The tokens are destroyed. Next turn, I win! (0)

          “Not gonna happen,” said Jaden. I play Hope of Fifth, retuning 5 Elemental Heroes from my Grave to my deck and giving me 2 cards. Next, I play Bubbleman in Defense and call it a turn. (1)

          “Raviel, destroy Bubbleman!” said Kagemaru.

          “I activate Hero Ring, preventing him from being attacked by 1900 ATK or higher Monsters,” said Jaden.

          “Make your move,” said Kagemaru. (1)

          “My draw,” said Jaden. I reveal my face down, Call of the Haunted!” said Jaden. Winged Kuriboh returns! Next, I reveal my other face down, Transcendent Wings, tossing out my last 2 cards and sendin’ Winged Kuriboh to my Grave to play Winged Kuriboh LV10 (0200) in Defense Mode and that’s all. (0)
          “You’re finished!” said Kagemaru. Hamon, destroy Winged Kuriboh LV10!

          “Game over, Kagemaru for I use LV10’s super power, which tributes himself and destroys all of your Attack Position Monsters, dealing you the ATK of each of your destroyed Monsters!

          “It can’t be, all 3 of my Monsters have 4000 ATK!” said Kagemaru.

          “Yup and that’s game!” said Jaden. Hamon, Raviel, and Uria are all destroyed, reducing Kagemaru’s LPs to 0.

          “The winner of the tournament is……Jaden Yuki!” said Roland.

          “Way to play, Jay!” said Syrus.

          “We’d better get back to our dorms,” said Jaden. Outside the tower, a jester appears.

Throwin’ Down with the Sacred Beasts (2)

Previously…

           “My go,” said Jaden. I play Neo Space, getting rid of your Field Spell! Fallen Paradise is destroyed. Then, I play Fake Hero, allowing me to play Elemental Hero Neos (2500) in Attack Mode. Next, I play Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab  (0500) in Attack Mode. Now it’s Contact Fusion time!

           “Contact Fusion!?” said Kagemaru shocked.

           “Flare Scarab and Neos go back to my deck for Elemental Hero Flare Neos (2500) in Attack Mode,” said Jaden. Oh and Neo Space gives my Monster a boost of 500 points! Air Neos’ ATK rises to 3000.

           “I activate Chain Burst, dealing 1000 damage to any player that activates a Trap Card,” said Kagemaru.

           “Sparkman, direct attack!” said Jaden.

           “I activate my other Trap Cards, Spellbinding Circle and Shadow Spell,” said Kagemaru. My card now deals me 2000 damage but thanks to Shadow Spell, Flare Neos can’t attack or change modes and loses 700 ATK while Sparkman can’t attack by Spellbinding Circle’s effect. His LPs drop to 3400 while Flare Neos’ ATK drops to 3900.

           “I end my turn,” said Jaden. (0)

           “I use Fallen Paradise for 2 cards,” said Kagemaru. Then, send my Traps to my Graveyard for Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (0000) in Attack Mode. Let’s not forget his hidden ability, giving him 1000 ATK per Continuous Trap Card in my Graveyard and there are 4! Uria’s ATK rises to 4000.

          “Yeah but since you sent your Traps to your Grave, my Monsters are free and Flare Neos gets some points back,” said Jaden. Flare Neos’ ATK rises to 4600.

          “Yes but with the absence of 3 cards, he loses 1200 ATK,” said Kagemaru. Flare Neos’ ATK drops to 3400. 

          “My Monster gets an 800 ATK boost for the 2 cards I have out,” said Jaden. Flare Neos’ ATK rises to 4200.

          “Maybe but I activate Uria’s other effect, sending your face down to your Graveyard,” said Kagemaru. Your Monster gets weaker now! Jaden’s face down card is destroyed and Flare Neos’ ATK drops to 3800. Uria, destroy Flare Neos! Flare Neos is destroyed and Jaden’s LPs drop to 7800. I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (1)

          “My draw,” said Jaden. I play Elemental Hero Bubbleman (0800) in Attack Mode by his effect and since he’s all I have on the field and nothing in my hand, I draw twice. Next I use Graceful Charity, drawin’ 3  and discardin’ 2. Then, I throw down two face downs and call it a turn. (0)

          “I use Fallen Paradise for 2 more cards,” said Kagemaru. Then, I summon Earthbound Spirit (2000) in Defense Mode. Uria, destroy Bubbleman!

          “I reveal Hero Barrier,” said Jaden. Since I have an Elemental Hero out, your attack’s cancelled!

          “Make your move, Jaden,” said Kagemaru. (3)

          “Don’t mind if I do,” said Jaden. I switch Sparkman and Bubbleman to Defense Mode and end my turn. (1)

          “I summon a second Earthbound Spirit in Defense Mode,” said Kagemaru. Then I draw twice by Fallen Paradise. Uria, destroy Bubbleman! Bubbleman is destroyed. That ends my turn. (5)

          “I play Polymerization, sending Sparkman and Clayman on my field to my Grave for Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (2400) in Attack Mode.

          “I activate Mispolymerization, sending Thunder Giant back to your Fusion Deck,” said Kagemaru. Thunder Giant disappears from the field.

          “I play Winged Kuriboh (0200) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Jaden. (0)

          “I summon Sangan (0600) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Kagemaru. (3)

          “I throw down a face down and call it a turn,” said Jaden. (0)

          “I tribute my Fiend Monsters for Raviel, Lord of Phantasms (4000) in Attack Mode,” said Kagemaru. You’re finished!

          “Silent Swordsman LV5 is unaffected by your Spell Cards so Gravekeeper’s Servant is useless,” said Yugi. Silent Swordsman, end this duel! X’s LPs drop to 0.

          “Aw right Yugi!” said Joey. Now I can duel again!

          “No, I lost to a kid!” said X.

          “A kid named Yugi Muto, da King of Games,” said Joey. Elsewhere…

Now for the next match up of the KC World Cup!” said Roland. Selector start! Balls bounce around and one falls out. The first duelist is… Jaden Yuki!

          “Time to throw down!” said Jaden.

          “His opponent is….,” said Roland. Balls bounce around and one falls out. Kagemaru!

          “Let’s do this!” said Jaden.

          “Indeed and I will defeat you!” said Kagemaru.

          “Not gonna happen,” said Jaden. It’s time to thrown down! I’ll start with this, three face downs ends my turn. (3)

          “My move,” said Kagemaru. I play Fallen Paradise, giving me 2 cards once per turn like right now. Next, I activate Ectoplasmer, Swords of Concealing Light, and Chain Energy. You don’t need to worry about their effects for I send them to my Graveyard for Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (4000) in Attack Mode.

           “A Sacred Beast on the first turn?” asked Syrus. Aw man, I hope Jaden finds away to destroy it.

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

           “My go,” said Jaden. I play Neo Space, getting rid of your Field Spell! Fallen Paradise is destroyed. Then, I play Fake Hero, allowing me to play Elemental Hero Neos (2500) in Attack Mode. Next, I play Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab  (0500) in Attack Mode. Now it’s Contact Fusion time!

           “Contact Fusion!?” said Kagemaru shocked.

            “Doesn’t matter for Hamon’s stronger still,” said Kagemaru.

            “Yeah well my Monster gets 400 ATK for every Spell and Trap Card out like Neo Space and  our face downs! Jaden sets a card and Flare Neos’ ATK rises to 4600. Flare Neos, take out Hamon! Hamon is destroyed and Kagemaru’s LPs drop to 7400. That ends my turn. (0)

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

            “I play Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600) in Attack Mode,” said Jaden. Sparkman, direct attack!

            Sparkman, direct attack!” said Jaden. Kagemaru’s LPs drop to 5400. “I activate my other Trap Cards, Spellbinding Circle and Shadow Spell,” said Kagemaru.

Previously…

          “Second Serket, direct attack!” said Odeon. Syrus’ LPs drop to 1200. Your defeat is assured next turn so make your move! (6)

          “I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Temple of the Kings!” said Syrus. Temple of the Kings is destroyed. Without your Spell Card, your Serket goes too! Both Serkets are destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

          “I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Odeon. (5)

          “I play Expressroid (1600) in Defense Mode,” said Syrus. Then, by his effect, Truckroid and Drillroid return to my hand. That ends my turn. (2)

          “I activate my face down card, another Embodiment of Apophis!” said Odeon. That ends my turn. (6)

          “I draw,” said Syrus. Stealthroid! Now just Polymerization to play Stealth Union! I end my turn. (3)

          “Time to finish you off!” said Odeon. I pass this turn by discarding 1 card. (6)

          “My move,” said Syrus. He smiles. I play Polymerization, sending my Monsters to my Graveyard for Super Vehicroid Stealth Union (3600) in Attack Mode. Stealth Union, destroy Apophis! Apophis is destroyed and Odeon’s LPs drop to 6800. That ends my turn. (0)

          “I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Yugi. (1/3)

          “I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said X. (0/39)

          “My move,” said Yugi. I tribute Alpha for Silent Swordsman LV5 (2300) in Attack Mode.

          “The rest of your deck is wiped out!” said X. Since my Gravekeeper’s Servant’s still in play, your Monsters cannot attack unless you send 1 of your cards to your Graveyard.

          “Silent Swordsman, attack!” said Yugi.

          “You can’t since you don’t have any cards in your deck left,” said X.

          “Silent Swordsman LV5 is unaffected by your Spell Cards so Gravekeeper’s Servant is useless,” said Yugi. Silent Swordsman, end this duel! X’s LPs drop to 0.

           “Aw right Yugi!” said Joey. Now I can duel again!

           “No, I lost to a kid!” said X.

           “A kid named Yugi Muto, da King of Games,” said Joey. Elsewhere…

           “I have arrived,” said Arkana. It was all thanks to that Pharaoh, Yami. Now that there’s another King of Games, I must find him and prove why I’m the Master of Magicians! Yugi may have avoided my grand finale but this other duelist won’t for I have upgraded it for an even bigger magic show! Once this new tournament of Kaiba’s ends, I’ll take this “somebody” on and take his best card away from him! He laughs. At the lottery room…

           “Now for the next match up of the KC World Cup!” said Roland. Selector start! Balls bounce around and one falls out. The first duelist is… Jaden Yuki!

           “Time to throw down!” said Jaden.

           “His opponent is….,” said Roland. Balls bounce around and one falls out. Kagemaru!

           “Good luck, Jay,” said Syrus.

           “You will fall before the Sacred Beasts!” said Kagemaru.

           “Both players, please report to the top of the tower!” said Roland. At the top of the tower…

           “Let’s do this!” said Jaden.

           “Indeed and I will defeat you!” said Kagemaru.

           “Not gonna happen,” said Jaden. It’s time to thrown down!

         “I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700) in Attack Mode,” said Yugi.

         “You summoned a Monster so you pay the price of losing the top 4 cards of your deck,” said X.

         “Maybe but I’m not going to let that stop me,” said Yugi. Gamma, attack the face down Monster! The face down Needle Worm (0600) is destroyed.  

         “Thanks to my Monster’s effect, you lose 5 more cards from your deck,” said X.

         “You don’t have any Monsters left so Beta, direct attack!” said Yugi. X’s LPs drop to 6600. Next, I activate one of my face down cards, Stronghold the Moving Fortress (2000) and put him in Defense Mode.

         “Your sentence is near,” said X. You’re down to your last 10 cards. I play Gravekeeper’s Servant. You lose the top card in your deck when you attack with Monsters. That ends my turn. (0/39)

         “I play Alpha the Magnet Warrior in Attack Mode,” said Yugi. 

         “You lose another 4 cards!” said X. 

         “Alpha, Beta and Gamma, direct attacks!” said Yugi.

         “You lose 3 more cards,” said X His LPs drop to 2000. Summon a Level 3 Monster or higher and you lose the duel! Back at the other duel…

         “You have no Monsters left, Mr. Truesdale and while you have over half your points remaining, I’ll change that,” said Odeon. Apophis and Serket, attack him directly!

         “I give up 400 points and negate the damage!” said Syrus. His LPs drop to 4200.

         “I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Odeon. (4)

         “I play Submarineroid (0800) in Attack Mode,” said Syrus. I attack and by his effect, he can attack directly! Odeon’s LPs drop to 6800. After attacking, he switches to Defense Mode. I end my turn. (0)

         “I tribute my other Apophis for another Mystical Beast Serket in Attack Mode,” said Odeon. Then I reveal my Trap Card, Magical Thorn, costing you 500 points per card when you discard cards to the Graveyard First Serket, destroy Submarineroid! Submarineroid is destroyed. Now his ATK grows! Serket’s ATK rises to 3000. Serket 2, direct attack! Syrus’ LPs drop to 1700. This is your last chance, so make your move! (4)

         “I play another Gyroid in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Syrus. (0)

         “Serket 2, destroy Gyroid!” said Odeon.

         “Gyroid can’t be destroyed in battle once per turn,” said Syrus.

         “Serket, attack and destroy his Gyroid!” said Odeon. Gyroid is destroyed. Make your last move! (5)

         “I set 1 card face down and end my turn,” said Syrus. (0)

         “It’s time that my Serket ended this duel!” said Odeon. Serket, attack him directly!

         “I activate Ring of Life,” said Syrus. Your Serket’s destroyed and we gain 2000 LPs! Serket is destroyed and his LPs rise to 3700 while Odeon’s LPs rise to 8800.

         “Second Serket, direct attack!” said Odeon. Syrus’ LPs drop to 1200. Your defeat is assured next turn so make your move! (6)

         “I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Temple of the Kings!” said Syrus. Temple of the Kings is destroyed. Without your Spell Card, your Serkets go too! Both Serkets are destroyed. That ends my turn. (0)

         “I set 2 cards face down and end my turn,” said Odeon. (5)

         “I play Expressroid (1600) in Defense Mode,” said Syrus. Then, by his effect, Truckroid and Drillroid return to my hand. That ends my turn. (2)

         “I activate my face down card, another Embodiment of Apophis!” said Odeon. That ends my turn. (6)

         “I draw,” said Syrus. Stealthroid! Now just Polymerization to play Stealth Union! I end my turn. (3)

           “I summon Drillroid (1600) in Attack Mode,” said Syrus. Steam Gyroid, destroy Mystical Beast Serket!

           “I activate Mirror Force!” said Odeon. Your Attack Position Monsters are no more! Drillroid and Steam Gyroid are destroyed. Face it, Mr. Truesdale, you cannot win! Meanwhile…

           “Summoned Skull, attack Trap Sleuser!” said Yugi.

           “Overruled,” said X.  I activate Recycle Barrier! I can’t take Battle Damage this turn.

           “That doesn’t save Trap Sleuser,” said Yugi. Trap Sleuser is destroyed. I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (2/38)

           “I use Card Destruction,” said X. We discard our hands and replace them with an equal number of cards from the top of our decks. Looks like you’re running out of time and cards!

           “Looks can be deceiving,” said Yugi.

           “I set 1 Monster in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said X. (1/42)

           “My move,” said Yugi. I play Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400) in Attack Mode.

           “Another 4 of your cards are sentenced to your Graveyard,” said X.

           “Maybe but I’ll do what I must to win this duel,” said Yugi. Alpha, attack his face down Monster! The face down Level Pod (0500) is destroyed. X laughs.

           “Thanks to Level Pod, all Monsters go back into our decks and shuffled then we draw cards equal to the total number of stars of the Monsters added to the deck. If at least 1 Monster is drawn, you can keep the cards but if not, all of them go to your Graveyard. Fortunately for me, I don’t get any cards and you get 10. So pick up your cards! Yugi draws his cards and smiles.

           “I have 2 Monsters,” said Yugi. I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (2/28)

           “I play another Trap Sleuser in Attack Mode,” said X. Then I set 1 card face down and end my turn. (0/41)

           “Yet another 4 of your cards go to your Graveyard,” said X.

           “Alpha, attack Trap Sleuser!” said Yugi.

           “I activate Compulsory Evacuation Device,” said X. Alpha goes back to your hand. Alpha disappears and the card reappears in Yugi’s hand.

           “Gamma, attack Trap Sleuser!” said Yugi. Trap Sleuser is destroyed and X’s LPs drop to 7300. That ends my turn. (3/23)

           “Objection, Trap Cards cannot be placed in the Monster Card Zone under any circumstance,” said X.

           “Except this one, my Stronghold’s a Trap Monster,” said Yugi.

           “Nonetheless, you lose another 4 cards,” said X.

           “I end my turn,” said Yugi. (3/10)

           “Your sentence is near,” said X. You’re down to your last 10 cards. I play Gravekeeper’s Servant. You lose the top card in your deck when you attack with Monsters. That ends my turn. (0/39)

           “I play Alpha the Magnet Warrior in Attack Mode,” said Yugi.

Trapped (2)

Previously…

          “You’re no match for me,” said Odeon. Serket, destroy Cycroid!

          “I activate Supercharge, giving me 2 cards and I use Life Force to negate the damage!” said Syrus. His LPs drop to 6800 and Cycroid is destroyed.

          “Since my Serket destroyed another Monster, his power grows!” said Odeon. Serket’s ATK rises to 3500. Apophis, attack directly!

          “I give up 400 points to negate the damage,” said Syrus. His LPs drop to 6400.

          “I’ll start,” said Yugi. I play Blockman (1500) in Defense Mode. Then I set 1 card face down and end my turn. I’m setting Joey free! (4/44)

          “This case is open,” said X. I play Trap Sleuser (0800) in Attack Mode. You cannot win! I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (3/44)

          “Okay, my move,” said Yugi.

          “Hold on, I have a card to play,” said X. I reveal Monster Register!

          “What’s that?” asked Yugi.

          “It’s a Trap Card that forces both players to send the top cards in their decks to the Graveyard for every level of a summoned Monster,” said X.

          “I tribute Blockman for Summoned Skull (2500) in Attack Mode,” said Yugi.

          “Then you lose 6 cards from your deck,” said X.  

          “Why didn’t  you lose any cards?” asked Yugi.

          “My Trap Sleuser makes me unaffected by any Trap Cards,” said X.

          “Slimly sleezeball!” said Joey. Now only Yugi loses cards when Monsters are summoned!

          “That’s right and soon I’ll be the next King of Games!” said X. He laughs. Back at the other duel…

          “I set 1 card face down and end my turn, Mr. Truesdale,” said Odeon. (6)

          “My move,” said Syrus. I play Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards. Then I use Power Bond, discarding Gyroid and Steamroid for Steam Gyroid (2200) in Attack Mode.

          “That Monster’s just food for my Serket,” said Odeon.

          “Not really,” said Syrus. Power Bond doubles Gyroid’s his ATK! Steam Gyroid’s ATK rises to 4400. Steam Gyroid, attack Mystical Beast Serket! Serket is destroyed and Odeon’s LPs drop to 7600.

          “Summoned Skull, attack Trap Sleuser!” said Yugi.

          “Overruled,” said X.  I activate Recycle Barrier! I can’t take Battle Damage this turn.

          “That doesn’t save Trap Sleuser,” said Yugi. Trap Sleuser is destroyed. I set 2 cards face down and end my turn. (2/38)

          “I use Card Destruction,” said X. We discard our hands and replace them with an equal number of cards from the top of our decks. Looks like you’re running out of time and cards!
