The Wrath of Gozaburo Kaiba (Part 1)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“Ryu-Kishin Powered, attack his lifepoints!” said Kaiba.

“I activate DNA Transplant!” said Alister. I choose an attribute and as long as my Trap card is in play every monster on the field’s attribute becomes the one I’ve selected.

“That doesn’t matter because Ryu-Kishin wipes out your lifepoints,” said Kaiba. Alister’s lifepoints drop to 0. Gozaburo Kaiba suddenly appears.

“Seto, it’s time we had a rematch,” said Gozaburo.

“It appears you haven’t learned your lesson the last time we dueled,” said Kaiba.

“What lesson?” asked Gozaburo.

“The fact that you can’t defeat me,” said Kaiba. Let’s duel!

“I set one monster in Defense Mode,” said Gozaburo. Then, I activate Painful Choice, which allows me to select 5 monsters from my deck and show them to you and you…

“Select 1 card among them and the rest of them go to the Graveyard while the card selected goes into your hand,” said Kaiba. I know how the card works. You used it last time. So select your cards all ready!

“Someone needs a lesson in manners,” said Gozaburo. All right, Seto, now choose a card.

“You’re telling me I need the lesson?” asked Kaiba. (Note: Anything in Boldface other than the God cards means that the person really means it.) The only one that needs a lesson is you! Gozaburo So, your 4 pieces of Exodia and another card, that’s your choice? I pick Left Arm of the Forbidden One.

“Fine, Seto,” said Gozaburo.

“Let’s see your puny Defense stand up to this card, I summon Spear Dragon (1900/0) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Spear Dragon, destroy his face down card! The face down Right Arm of the Forbidden One (200/300) is destroyed and Gozaburo’s lifepoints drop to 2400.

“I lost lifepoints? Impossible!” said Gozaburo.

“Thanks to Spear Dragon, it’s quite possible. Even though your monster was in Defense Mode, you lose the difference between their strengths. Afterward, Spear Dragon goes to Defense Mode. Then, I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I’m about to win this duel, Seto,” said Gozaburo.

“Explain,” said Kaiba.

“I activate Contract with Exodia, this card allows me to summon Exodia Necross since my Graveyard contains the five pieces of Exodia. Say hi to Exodia Necross (1800/0) in Attack Mode. My monster gains 500 ATK points during each of my turns and is immune to Spell, Trap and Monster effects.

“That doesn’t mean he’s indestructible,” said Kaiba.

“Wrong,” said Gozaburo. My monster can’t be destroyed unless at least one of the Exodia pieces is removed from play.

“That also doesn’t mean you won’t lose lifepoints,” said Kaiba.

“Yes it does,” said Gozaburo.

“You still don’t get it old man,” said Kaiba.

“You have no right to call me an old man! How dare you!

“I just did, Gozaburo,” said Kaiba. You’re as old as your strategies!

“Just wait until I win this duel, Seto,” said Gozaburo.

“Your monster may not be able to be destroyed, but you will still lose lifepoints if my monster’s ATK is higher than yours,” aid Kaiba.

“Exodia Necross, destroy his Spear Dragon!” said Gozaburo. Spear Dragon is destroyed.

“I activate Call of the Haunted to revive Spear Dragon (1900/0) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Your Necross is history!

Alister’s Revenge (Part 1)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“Oh Kaiba,” said Alister.

“What is it, Alister?” asked Kaiba.

“I thought it’s time we had a rematch,” said Alister.

“Fine,” said Kaiba.

“I’ll start off with Darkfire Soldier #1 (1700/1150) in Attack Mode,” said Alister. Then, I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I summon Kaiser Sea Horse (1700/1650) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Then, I activate my Tribute to the Doomed Spell card, which for a cost of one card from my hand, I get to destroy one of your monsters.

“I activate Backfire,” said Alister. Whenever you destroy one of my Fire monsters, you lose 500 lifepoints.

“I discard one card to destroy your Darkfire Soldier,” said Kaiba. Darkfire Soldier is destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 3500 by Backfire’s effect. Kaiser Sea Horse, attack his lifepoints directly! Alister’s lifepoints drop to 2300. I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I summon Battle Footballer (1000/2100) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Alister. Soon your soul will be mine forever!

“I sacrifice my Sea Horse to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba.

“But your Blue-Eyes needs 2 sacrifices to summon it,” said Alister.

“Someone doesn’t know the effect of Kaiser Sea Horse,” said Kaiba. If I offer a Light monster as a tribute, I get to treat Kaiser Sea Horse as 2 tributes and since Kaiser Sea Horse is a Light monster, I get to offer him to summon Blue-Eyes. Blue-Eyes, destroy his Battle Footballer! Battle Footballer is destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 3000 by Backfire’s effect. I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I summon Fox Fire (300/200) in Defense Mode,” sad Alister. Destroy this monster all you want, Kaiba but you’ll lose the duel. That ends my turn.

“I summon Ryu-Kishin Powered (1600/1200) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. That ends my turn. Alister, you will be devastated next turn.

“I summon Blazing Inpachi (1850/0) in Attack Mode,” said Alister. Then, I activate Burning Spear, raising my monster’s ATK by 400 but loses 200 DEF points. Blazing Inpchi’s ATK rises to 2250 while it’s DEF remains at 0. Blazing Inpachi, destroy his Ryu-Kishin Powered!

“I activate Ring of Destruction!” said Kaiba. This card destroys 1 monster on the field and that monster’s ATK points are subtracted from our lifepoints. Goodbye Inpachi! Inpachi and Burning Spear are destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 750 then to 250 by Backfire’s effect. Alister’s lifepoints drop to 50 by Ring of Destruction’s effect.

“I set one card face down and end my turn,” said Alister.

“Ryu-Kishin Powered, attack his lifepoints!” said Kaiba.

“I activate DNA Transplant!” said Alister. I choose an attribute and as long as my Trap card is in play every monster on the field’s attribute becomes the one I’ve selected.

“That doesn’t matter because Ryu-Kishin wipes out your lifepoints,” said Kaiba. Alister’s lifepoints drop to 0. Gozaburo Kaiba suddenly appears.

“Seto, it’s time we had a rematch,” said Gozaburo.

“It appears you haven’t learned your lesson the last time we dueled,” said Kaiba.

“What lesson?” asked Gozaburo.

“The fact that you can’t defeat me,” said Kaiba. Let’s duel!

Kaiba’s Deadly Dragons (Part 2)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“I summon Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1 (1400/1200) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Then, I fuse my monster with the Dark Hole using Polymerization to create Dark Hole Dragon (700/600) in Attack Mode. Dark Hole Dragon, attack his Luster Virus Dragon! Luster Virus Dragon is destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 1900.

“How was my monster destroyed when it had more ATK points than yours did?” asked Kaiba.

“Simple,” said Yami. When my monster attacks, it gains half of the attacked monster’s ATK points.

“That doesn’t matter because you’ve just activated the deadly effect of Luster Virus Dragon,” said Kaiba. Kaiba laughs. Now, every monster in your deck with between 1000 and 3500 ATK points becomes infected and if you summon one of the infected monsters, half of the monster’s ATK is subtracted from your lifepoints. You’re finished! There’s not a card in your deck that can save you! You might as well forfeit.

“Never!” said Yami. I set these two cards face down and end my turn.

“I summon Spear Dragon (1900/0) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba.

“I activate Lightforce Sword!” said Yami. For the next 3 turns, the card I choose is out of play. You get the card back on my 4^th turn. Go Lightforce Sword!

No! My God Card!” said Kaiba. Then again, I didn’t have enough monsters to summon Obelisk anyway. Spear Dragon, destroy his Dark Hole Dragon!” said Kaiba. Dark Hole Dragon is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 300.

“Thank you, Kaiba,” said Yami. You’ve activated my Dark Hole Dragon’s special ability. Now, every monster on the field is destroyed and I get to summon the same number of 4-star monsters that were destroyed from my hand to the field. Spear Dragon is destroyed. I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard (1400/1200) in Defense Mode.

“I end my turn,” said Kaiba.

“I summon Roulette Barrel (1000/2000) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Then, I switch my Celtic Guard to Attack Mode. Celtic Guard, attack his lifepoints! Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 600. Roulette Barrel, end this duel! Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 0. Suddenly, a figure appears before Yami and Kaiba.

“Oh Kaiba,” said Alister.

“What is it, Alister?” asked Kaiba.

“I thought it’s time we had a rematch,” said Alister.

“Fine,” said Kaiba.

“I’ll start off with Darkfire Soldier #1 (1700/1150) in Attack Mode,” said Alister. Then, I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I activate Backfire,” said Alister. Whenever you destroy one of my Fire monsters, you lose 500 lifepoints.

“I discard one card to destroy your Darkfire Soldier,” said Kaiba. Darkfire Soldier is destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 3500 by Backfire’s effect. . Kaiser Sea Horse, attack his lifepoints directly! Alister’s lifepoints drop to 2300. I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I summon Battle Footballer (1000/2100) in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Alister. Soon your soul will be mine forever!

Kaiba’s Deadly Dragons (Part 1)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I activate the Spell card Mystical Space Typhoon, destroys one Spell card on the field and I choose your Swords of Revealing Light,” said Kaiba. Different Dimension Cannon, attack his lifepoints directly!

“You can’t!” said Yami.

“I’m afraid I can, thanks to my monster’s special ability,” said Kaiba. Different Dimension Cannon, direct attack! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 2500. Victory will soon be mine! I end my turn, Yugi.

“I sacrifice my Beta, Gamma and Alpha the Magnet Warriors to summon Valkyrion, the Magna Warrior (3500/3850) in Attack Mode. Valkyrion, destroy his Different Dimension Cannon!

“I activate Shadow Spell!” said Kaiba. This card drops your monster’s ATK by 700.

“I don’t think so, reveal face down card, Seven Tools of the Bandit!” said Yami. For a cost of 1000 lifepoints, your Shadow Spell is negated, Kaiba. Yami’s lifepoints drop to 1500 and Shadow Spell is negated. Valkyrion, destroy his Dragon! Valkyrion’s ATK drops to 1500 and Valkyrion is destroyed. How did my monster’s ATK points drop, Kaiba? How is it that even when my monster’s ATK equaled yours, your monster remained on the field?

“Why it’s simple,” said Kaiba. Thanks to my monster’s second ability, when my monster has 2000 or less ATK points than the monster attacking it, that monster loses 2000 ATK points. My monster’s third ability prevents it from being destroyed when a monster with the same ATK strength is attacking it.

“I set one card face down and end my turn,” said Yami.

“I summon Luster Dragon (1900/1600) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Luster Dragon, destroy his Magna Warrior!

“I activate Mirror Force!” said Yami. Say goodbye to every monster on your side of the field in Attack Mode. Luster Dragon and Different Dimension Cannon are destroyed.

“I set one card face down and end my turn,” said Kaiba.

“I sacrifice Valkyrion to summon Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Dark Magician Girl, attack his lifepoints! Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 2000. That ends my turn.

“I activate Cost Down, lowering all monsters in my hand by 2 levels,” said Kaiba. Then, I summon Luster Dragon #2 (2400/1400) in Attack Mode. Luster Dragon, destroy his Dark Magician Girl! Dark Magician Girl is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 1100. Then, I activate Deck Devastation Virus and I fuse it with my Luster Dragon to form Luster Virus Dragon (1200/700) in Attack Mode. Let’s see what you’ve got.

“How was my monster destroyed when it had more ATK points than yours did?” asked Kaiba.

“Simple,” said Yami. When my monster attacks, it gains half of the attacked monster’s ATK points.

“That doesn’t matter because you’ve just activated the deadly effect of Luster Virus Dragon,” said Kaiba. Kaiba laughs.

To be continued…

Marik’s Deadly Monsters (Part 3)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“I summon Lava Golem to the field,” said Marik. “But that’s an 8-star monster and you have only one monster on the field,” said Yami.

“That’s true Pharaoh,” said Marik. Lava Golem’s special ability allows me to summon it by sacrificing 2 monsters on your side of the field.

“Come forth, Lava Golem (3000/2500) in Defense Mode!” said Marik. That’s not all, my monster also inflicts 1000 lifepoints to its controller. Since I summoned Lava Golem, I can’t summon another monster this turn. Now Coffin Seller wipes out the rest of your lifepoints, Pharaoh. I end my turn and I win the duel!

“I’m afraid not,” said Yami. I activate Raigeki Break! This card allows me to destroy 1 card on the field for the price of one card from my hand to the Graveyard. Your Coffin Seller is gone! Coffin Seller is destroyed. Soon, you’ll pay for what you’ve done Marik! Chaos Emperor Dragon, attack his lifepoints directly!

“I activate Nightmare Wheel!” said Marik. Now your Chaos Emperor Dragon can’t attack and you’ll lose 500 lifepoints during the start of my turn.

“I switch your Lava Golem to Attack Mode,” said Yami. Lava Golem, finish him off! Marik’s lifepoints drop to 0. Now it’s time for you to be banished to the Shadow Realm and this time, you won’t escape Marik. Marik appears where Marik disappeared.

“Thank you, Pharaoh,” said Marik. You’ve destroyed the darkness within me and for that I am truly grateful.

“Yes, pharaoh, we thank you for returning Marik back to normal,” said Ishizu.

“I was glad to help,” said Yami. Kaiba once again shows up.

“If it isn’t the dork squad,” said Kaiba. All right Yugi, I challenge you to a duel and if I win, you dorks stop getting in my way.

“Fine, Kaiba,” said Yami. If I win, you stop calling us names.

“Hmm, a dumb request, but I accept,” said Kaiba. I’ll go first by summoning Des Feral Imp (1600/1800) in Attack Mode. That ends my turn.

“I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1500/1800) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I sacrifice my Des Feral Imp to summon Different Dimension Dragon (1200/1500) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. When my monster attacks, it can’t be destroyed by monsters whose ATK is 1900 or less and Trap cards can’t destroy my Dimension Dragon unless they target him. I set one card face down and end my turn.

“I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400/1700) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I activate Swords of Revealing Light, stopping your attacks for 3 turns. That ends my turn.

Marik’s Deadly Monsters (Part 2)

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh…

“I summon Wandering Mummy (1500/1500) in Attack Mode,” said Marik. Then, I use Polymerization to fuse my monsters together to form Makyura, the Wandering Mummy (1550/1350) in Attack Mode. Then, I activate Coffin Seller! This card reduces your lifepoints by 300 each time one of your monsters goes to the Graveyard. Then, I activate Black Pendant, which raises my monsters’ ATK by 500 points. Makyura’s ATK rises to 2050. Makyura, the Wandering Mummy, destroy his monster!

“I sacrifice my Lord Poison to summon Helpoemer (2000/1400) in Attack Mode,” said Marik. Then, I set two cards face down to end my turn.

“ I remove my Breaker, the Magnet Warrior and my Beaker from the game to call forth the mighty Chaos Emperor Dragon-Envoy of the End (3000/2500) in Attack Mode. Chaos Emperor Dragon, destroy his Helpoemer!

“I activate Interdimensional Matter Transporter!” said Marik. This card removes Helpoemer from the game until the end of the turn.

“I set two cards face down and end my turn,” said Yami. Helpoemer returns to the field.

“I summon Lava Golem to the field,” said Marik.

“But that’s an 8-star monster and you have only one monster on the field,” said Yami.

“I’m free yet again,” said Marik. It’s time I take over my weak side once and for all. Ah, there he is. Marik slips into Marik’s body and he screams and once again clutches his head.

“Marik!” said Ishizu. “The Marik you knew no longer exists, Ishizu,” said Marik. I’m off to banish the Pharaoh to the Shadow Realm forever! Marik laughs. He finds the Pharaoh near the Domino Museum. Pharaoh, it’s time that I send you to the Shadow Realm forever!

“How’d you get out?” asked Yugi.

“I had enough energy to survive the Shadow Realm and escape,” said Marik. Now duel me!

“Fine, let duel, Marik,” said Yugi activating the Millennium Puzzle.

“I summon Granadora (1900/700) in Attack Mode,” said Marik. Marik’s lifepoints rise to 5000 by Granadora’s effect. Then, I set one card face down and end my turn. My monster gives me 1000 lifepoints when it’s summoned, but when destroyed, I lose 2000 lifepoints.

“I play Dark Hole, which destroys every monster on the field,” said Yami. Granadora is destroyed. Now you lose 2000 lifepoints thanks to your Granadora!

“Not this time,” said Marik. I activate Barrel Behind the Door!” This nasty little card redirects the damage I receive from a card effect to your lifepoints. So you take the 2000 lifepoints damage. Yami’s lifepoints drop to 2000.

“I got to hand it to you, Mako that was a tough duel,” said Joey.

“You’re a good duelist, yourself, Joey,” said Mako. Elsewhere in Battle City, Ishizu and Marik are chatting with each other.

“It’s good to have you back to normal, my brother,” said Ishizu.

“Yes it is,” said Marik. (Note: if Marik’s name is blue, it’s the good Marik and if it’s in red its Marik’s dark side.) Meanwhile, Marik’s dark side somehow slips out of the Shadow Realm. “I’m free yet again,” said Marik. It’s time I take over my weak side once and for all. Ah, there he is. Marik slips into Marik’s body and he screams and once again clutches his head.

“How’d you get out?” asked Yugi.

“Mako, is that you?” asked Joey.

“I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Then, I activate Monster Reborn to revive your Enraged Battle Ox (1700/1000) in Attack Mode. Then, I remove my monsters from play to form Dark Magician Girl, the Enraged Magnet Warrior (2700/2150) in Attack Mode. Now my monster, destroy his Soul Exchange Cannon! Kaiba laughs.

“I activate my monster’s special ability!” said Kaiba. Each time one of your monsters attacks my monster gains half of the ATK of that monster. Soul Exchange Cannon’s ATK rises to 2250. Soul Exchange Cannon is destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 3300. That ends my turn.

“I summon Z-Metal Tank (1500/1300) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Then I set one card face down to end my turn.

“Dark Magician Girl, the Enraged Magnet Warrior, destroy his Metal Tank!” said Yami.

“I activate Mirror Force!” said Kaiba. This card destroys all monsters in Attack Mode on

your side of the field.

“I’m afraid not,” said Yami. My Enraged Magnet Warrior is immune to all Trap cards on your side of the field. Mirror Force is negated. Z-Metal Tank is destroyed and Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 2100. That ends my turn.

“I set one card face down and summon Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. That ends my turn.

“I summon Big Shield Gardna (100/2600) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Dark Magician Girl, destroy his Y-Dragon Head!

“I activate Interdimensional Matter Transporter!” said Kaiba. This card removes my monster from play until the end of the turn. Y-Dragon Head disappears from the field.

“That ends my turn, Kaiba,” said Yami.

“I summon Giant Germ (1000/100) in Attack Mode,” said Kaiba. Prepare to meet my latest virus monster! I activate Deck Devastation Virus and I fuse it with Y-Dragon Head and Giant Germ to form Giant Virus Dragon (1250/850) in Attack Mode.

“You need Polymerization to create that monster unless it is any combo of X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head or Z-Metal Tank!” said Yami.

“Not necessarily,” said Kaiba. This monster doesn’t need Polymerization to be fused together. Although my monster has weak stats, its special ability allows it to infect all monsters in your deck whose ATK strength is between 1000 and 3000. That deck of yours is no longer of any threat to me Kaiba laughs.

“Oh no! Without my powerful monsters, how can I defeat Kaiba?” said Yami to himself.

“I activate Raigeki, destroying all monsters on your side of the field,” said Kaiba. Big Shield Gardna is destroyed. Giant Virus Dragon, direct attack! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 1050. Then, I set one card face down to end my turn.

“I activate Dark Hole, destroying every monster on the field,” said Yami.

“You’ve triggered my White Hole Trap card, which makes it so Dark Hole destroys your monsters on the field,” said Kaiba.

“I set one card face down and end my turn,” said Yami.

“Giant Virus Dragon, attack his lifepoints directly!” said Kaiba.

“You’ve activated my Magic Cylinder!” said Yami. This card inflicts the ATK of your monster to your lifepoints. Kaiba’s lifepoints drop to 850.

“I set one card face down and end my turn,” said Kaiba.

“I summon Feral Imp (1300/1400) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Feral Imp, attack!
