            “Lose to us and you’ll be crushed,” said Dox.

            “You fools are no match for me,” said Marik.

            “Then duel us to find out,” said Dox.

Now, I activate Barrel Dragon’s special ability, which allows me to select one monster on the field and toss a coin 3 times, if two are heads, the monster I’ve selected is destroyed. I toss my coin 3 times! All right, 2 out of the 3 times that I tossed the coin were heads. So your Dark Magician is destroyed. Dark Magician is destroyed. That ends my turn.

            “I’m afraid I just did,” said Yami. Your lust for victory was why you lost our duel.

            “Uh, uh, there is no way a little squirt like you defeated me!” said Keith. I won’t accept defeat! You must have cheated! That’s the only way you could have defeated me!

            “When will you learn, I defeated you fair and square,” said Yami. Meanwhile, Marik is still looking for the Pharaoh.

            “Once I find the Pharaoh, he will be in for the toughest duel he’s ever faced!” said Marik to himself. Suddenly, Para and Dox appear in front of him.

            “If you wish to continue your search, you’ll have to get past us,” said Para.

            “Lose to us and you’ll be crushed,” said Dox.

            “You fools are no match for me,” said Marik.

            “Then duel us to find out,” said Dox.

            “When we win you will be out,” said Para.

            “So let’s duel,” said Marik.

            “My brother will begin first,” said Dox.

            “I summon Suijin (2500/2400) in Attack Mode,” said Para. Nothing can stop it!

Bandit Keith’s Machine Army (Part 1)

Bandit Keith is searching for Yami.

            “It’s time that I show that Yugi kid that I’m the better duelist,” said Keith to himself. Keith eventually finds Yami at Domino Museum.

            “You’re Yugi, right?” asked Keith.

            “Yes, wait a sec, you’re…” said Yugi.

            “Bandit Keith,” said Keith.

            “You use Machine cards,” said Yugi.

            “Yes, and it’s time to duel me!” said Keith. This time, there isn’t any way you’ll win this duel.

            “I disagree,” said Yugi, activating the Millennium Puzzle. All right, let’s duel!

            “I’ll start with Ground Attacker Bugroth (1500/1000) in Attack Mode,” said Keith. (Note: Since Keith is shorter than typing Bandit Keith, I’ll use Keith as Bandit Keith’s name.) That ends my turn.

            “I summon Dark Magician (2500/2100) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Dark Magician, destroy his Time Machine! Time Machine is destroyed and Keith’s lifepoints drop to 2900. Since you destroyed my Time Machine, Trap card, I can bring back my Barrel Dragon.

            “What do you mean?” asked Yami.

            “My Time Machine allows me to bring back the monster that you destroyed the turn before,” said Keith. So Barrel Dragon, return, (2600/2200) in Attack Mode!

            “That ends my turn,” said Yami.

            “I summon Slot Machine (2000/2300) in Attack Mode,” said Keith.

            “It doesn’t matter what card you draw, nothing can save you from the divine strength of The Winged Dragon of Ra!” said Marik.

            “Oh really?” asked Mai. I’ve just drawn the card to defeat you.

            “I doubt it,” said Marik.

            “You’ll see for yourself next turn,” said Mai.

            “The only thing I’ll see is the final turn before your demise,” said Marik. Marik laughs. I end my turn. It’s your last move before victory is mine!

            “I summon Dark Hole (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Mai. Dark hole, destroy his Heavy Storm! Both cards are destroyed.

            “I guess you’re right,” said Yugi. Meanwhile, Bakura is lurking around looking for Marik.

            “It’s time that I finally take Marik’s Millennium Rod once and for all!” said Bakura. Marik overhears Bakura and walks over.

            “Looking for me?” asked Marik.

            “Indeed I am,” said Bakura.

            “So, you still want my item?” asked Marik. Then, let’s duel for it.

            “I summon Newdoria (1200/800) in Attack Mode,” said Marik. That ends my turn.

            “I summon Tribute to the Doomed (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. That ends my turn.

            “I summon Lava Golem (3000/2500) in Attack Mode,” said Marik. Lava Golem, destroy his Dragon Cannon! XYZ Dragon Cannon is destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 3800. Then, I switch Newdoria to Defense Mode and end my turn.

            “I summon Interdimensional Matter Transporter (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. That ends my turn.

            “I summon Masked Beast Des Guardius (3300/2500) in Attack Mode,” said Marik. Lava Golem, destroy his Interdimensional Matter Transporter! Matter Transporter is destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 3600. That ends my turn.

            “Now, I discard one card to my Graveyard and one of the monsters I have chosen is destroyed,” said Kaiba. So, I send one card to the Graveyard and your Des Guardius is history! Des Guardius is destroyed.

            “I summon Dark Hole (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. That ends my turn.

            “I summon Barrel Behind the Door (0/0) in Attack Mode,” said Marik. Barrel, attack his Dark Hole! Both cards are destroyed and Marik’s Makyura, Newdoria and Lava Golem along with Kaiba’s X-Head Cannon by Dark Hole’s effect.

            “Since Newdoria was destroyed, I get to destroy any monster on the field,” said Marik. There are no monsters to be destroyed. That ends my turn.

            “I summon Man-Eater Bug (450/600) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Let’s see you destroy him.

            “I summon The Winged Dragon of Ra (6100/3800) in Attack Mode,” said Marik. (Note: in this game, Ra can only be summoned when you have 3 monsters in your Graveyard and the first 3 monsters in the Graveyard equals Ra’s ATK and DEF points.) I pay 1000 lifepoints to destroy your Man-Eater Bug. It’ll be all over soon!
