In late 2005/early 2006 I decided to create a less larger and more creative fanfic involving new characters in YuGiOh! Back then people did not enjoy reading extremely long fanfic chapters anymore, so the first season is quite short per episode. But I still hope you enjoy the beginning of how Shadow Gate came to be and ended up! Nearing its Third Season, I must say I did not realize how much it has been read. So re-entering the first seasons (originally posted on another website that is now gone) Here we go! Welcoming back Yu-Gi-Oh! Shadow Gate Season 1!!

We must fight! Together the beasts will give us our might!
Beholding our power of friendship in the end!

(Yu-Gi-Oh! Shadow Gate Theme)



Episode 1- Realm Keeper


"I have to find a way out of here," Dark Marik walked around the Shadow Realm looking to see where he is. Suddenly he notices a strange woman dressed as an amazon near a strange platform. It seemed to represent Pegasus' old dueling platform but a little darker. Spirits wavered around the strange woman. "What is this?" She notices him as he walks up to her.

"You have been sent to me," She stated wearing a very odd duel disk. It seemed to represent the Dark Duel Disk's that Dartz's gang used but weird streaks of yellow ran across the sharp edges.

"I do not remember anything about you being here. Who are you," Dark Marik asked her as she looked up at him from making a deck.

"I am the last person you will see for quite some time," She replied putting the deck into her duel disk.

"I thought the Shadow Realm kept many souls of lost duelists?"

"It does. But what you do not know is that I take them for myself."

"Explain!"

"I'm Bansieru... Keeper of the Realm. You have something I want and desire."

"What exactly is that?"

"Your shadow!" She looked at him hard as he seemed a little frightened.

"I am a lost soul how can you get my shadow?"

"Each body contains a soul and once that soul is removed from the body the soul has something inside of it which makes it have free will. I call it a shadow."

"How can you get it from me if I choose not to give it to you?"

"We shall duel for it!" Her duel disk activated as Dark Marik noticed a disk flashed onto his arm as well.

"I do not duel for anyone."

"Being the Keeper Of The Shadow Realm there are laws here that I control. Now face me Dark Marik!"

"Dark Marik? Hahahahaha! Call me Malik!" He puts a deck into his duel disk as the dueling platform rises on each side and the field turns on.

MALIK & BANSIERU: "Let's Duel!"

"I summon Amazoness Huntress." The amazoness appeared on the field with a weird dress that instantly turned into her short legish skirt and she had a few orange stripes on her cheeks.

1200/900

"I believe that this ends my turn and soon your shadow."

"Why do you want my shadow so much?"

"It will help me. Once I gather one-million shadow's I am able to power up this Shadow Blade and then it will allow me to rip open a portal out of here."

"You want out?"

"I need to be freed. The world needs a ruler and I am that ruler!"

"Sorry dear but I already tried. Yugi will stop you even if you try."

"Then I will go after him so make your move!"

"Your cheap little girl won't hurt me. I'll use Dark Jeroid to destroy her."

1200/1500

"Your Jeroid has the same attack strength! They both will be gone just like your shadow."

"Don't you know that my monster has an effect? While he remains face-up on the field one of your monsters attack is decreased by 800." Bansieru gasped as her Huntress went down to 400 attack. "Looks like she is done for!"

"How about an effect of her own? ACTIVATE NOW!"

2000/900

"What happened to her attack!?"

"When an effect decreases an Amazoness' attack when my Huntress is on the field it increases instead. Destroy his Jeroid my beauty!" Jeroid is destroyed as Malik's Life Points are sent down to 3200. "You see now it is my turn again and you have no cards on the field."

"Your turn? I have a few magic or trap cards to lay face-down." He sets two cards down as Bansieru draws and summons another monster.

"Now with my Huntress on the field I believe it is time I summon another strong girl of the jungle. Meet my Amazoness Vine Whipper."

800/1900

"Her ability allows me to play all three Electro Whip's from my deck." She plays them all from her deck and shuffles her deck and places it back in the disk.

"How can you equip her with cards used for Thunder-type monsters?"

"Did I forget to mention her other effects Malik?"

"It still does not make any sense."

"Vine Whipper allows me to play any Electro Whip's from my hand, deck or graveyard. Then she turns their effects to be used on Amazoness monsters. Afterwards they boost her attack and defense by 300 each."

1700/2800

"Attack his Life Points directly!"

"WHAT!?"

"As long as she is equipped with an Electro Whip she can attack your Life Points directly."

"Nooo!!! I only have 1500 Life Points remaining!"

"Attack him Huntress!"

"Grrr.."

"Now I shall place three magic or trap cards face-down."

"My turn and so I use this!" His Life Points rise back up to 3000. "My Intimate Reflection card allows me to gain Life Points until they are three-thousand. So that way I can summon Yamatai Wasard."

2200/1800

"But he has six stars!"

"Now who is the one speaking of great effects? Seems a bit odd doesn't it? My monster's ability allows me to special summon him to the field if I have at least two trap cards remaining on my side of the field and your field has three."

"EH!"

"Soon you will be the one to taste my fiery. Then I will be the one who has survived your shadow removal!"

"Your not going to be the one helping out anymore."

"Now I attack your Huntress!"

"I destroy an Electro Whip to block your attack!"

"Errr... How can she have so many abilities?"

"Wouldn't you like to know," she picks up the card from her deck, "So lets see what chance has in store for you! I sacrifice an Amazoness to summon Amazoness Striker!"

2200/1200

"Then I play Amazon Dagger." Striker's weird curly hair begins to blow around like a breeze hit it and she picks up the dagger that appeared on the ground.

"Why not give her a fingernail file and be done with it?"

"Do not listen to him my darling."

"She is not going to be able to even scratch Yamatai for they both are equal in attacks. Try next time."

"My deck has many twists and now look at this turn! Wild Woman copies a magic card equipped onto a female monster so now she holds two of them."

"Hmmm..."

"Now I activate another magic card known as Beauty Queen. This makes my Amazon Dagger's become stronger," Amazoness Striker throws the puny daggers in the air and they become swords and she grabs them when the come back down. "Giving my monster 300 each for a dagger now they give her 800 for each daggerized sword. My little Amazoness has all grown up."

"That knocked up prom queen could not beat my Yamatai Wasard."

"Amazoness Striker can do what she wants."

3800/1200

"Attack him Striker!"

"Not so fast! Activate Triple Detonate now!"

"You have five copies of my monster?" Suddenly Amazoness Striker was copied into five versions of herself as they stood besides Yamatai Wasard.

"Figure that out all by yourself?"

"You cannot have more than five monsters on the field at a time. It is basic rules!"

"This trap card makes five copies of a monster on your side of the field and I can have more than five monsters. That is the trickery of my trap."

"I end my turn." She allows Malik to go as he laughs.

"Now I sacrifice two copied Striker's for Mimic Soldier Of Storm!"

2300/0

"Two monsters for one weakling?"

"Like all of my monsters his ability is just as great as the others. When he attacks a monster the original attack of the attacked monster is added onto his so your Amazoness is no match for my army."

"NOOOO!!!"

"Yes. TAKE HER DOWN!!!"

"Amazoness Archers go," Suddenly one Amazoness Archers turned face-up on the holofield. "But I do not have just one," Then a second was shown, "Not two," and a third was revealed. "You did not expect for me to have THREE of them did you?"

"That is impossible!"

"Looks like all of your monsters have to attack and since they are so weak you will be destroyed as the result!!"

"Nooooo!" Suddenly a light flew from inside of him and into the sword that Bansieru held. "Thanks for the parting gift, Malik." She used the sword to slice a hole in the wall. It ripped open and we see the real world. "Finally I have done what I was sent out to do." She stepped out as the hole healed itself back up with Malik's soul just laying there.

"So this is the real world," Bansieru looks around at what has changed since she was made the Keeper. Her body seemed to represent a human form. "Now it is time to find what I have lost seven million years ago."

Episode 2- Apprentice Found


Looking around the world that has changed since the beginning of time Bansieru made her way to the Game Shop of Solomon Moto. It was a small quaint little place for selling cards, but this day it would not be for business. She walked into the shop as Solomon seemed to be washing the counter tops.

"Hello young lady," He dropped his washclothe and bucket filled with water and hurriedly ran to the card counter.

"I was wondering if I could find the owner of this shop," Bansieru asked walking up to the counter slowly.

"That would be me," Solomon replied as hearts filled his eyes.

"I am looking for some new cards to reformat my deck with," She put some golden coins on the counter. Solomon was shocked to see she was using pure gold.

"I would be willing to get anything for you. Your the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

"To my deck please?"

"Oh yes," He picked up the deck she placed besides the golden money and began to look through it. "I have exactly what this deck needs." Solomon went through a drawer and grabbed a box of cards. "These should fit nicely."

"You do not mind if I look at them do you," Bansieru seemed to have the same interest in Solomon as he had in her. While going through the new stack of bought cards she smiled.

"I presume you like them?"

"Oh yes, they will do nicely. You see it has been centuries since I last dueled and I had a feeling that my deck was a little outdated."

"I know how you feel. It seems like centuries since I last dueled as well," He replied as she looked at the top card of the stack.

"This card..."

"What is it? You do like them don't you?"

"Yes, I do. But it is just that.... Oh never mind."

"Please tell me. I am an expert with Duel Monsters."

"What is the origin of this card," She picked it up and revealed it to Solomon.

"Ahh yes. It is quite a rare card, but with the money you have spent you could afford it."

"Please tell me everything you know about it."

"Well there was said to be in the beginning of time when the world was created the world of evil needed a guardian. So then the ultimate creator made a woman to guard this world of evil. It is said that she held powers like you could never believe."

"Is that so? And what happened to her?"

"Well after being put inside the world of evil it was millions of years before an Egyptian Pharoah made a way to travel into this evil world. After monsters had been released he sealed them into stone carvings."

"So when they were put into the carvings they were never heard from again?"

"On the contrary quite the opposite. Evil servants of the Pharoah used sorcery to summon these monsters in a fighting duel called Shadow Games. This was the only way to release these monsters but only for a limited time."

"I see."

"After a while the souls of the sorceror's were trapped inside the world of evil. They named it the Shadow Realm. But when the Pharoah was lost and sealed away it was not until recently that a man named Maxamillion Pegasus created these monsters but as cards and now everyone plays them."

"But then how did this card get created?"

"Pegasus heard about the story of this Shadow Realm Keeper. In which he made a few copies of this card you hold now. He named it after the woman's so called name."

"Bansieru."

"Exactly! Its full name is Amazoness Master- Bansieru."

"I can tell it holds great abilities."

"Is that all you wanted to know about lovely lady?"

"No, there is one more thing. I am looking for someone named Yugi Moto."

"WHAT!?" He got surprised as his eyes lit up. "That is my grandson!"

"So then you would know where he is?"

"My grandson still plays Duel Monsters but he does not do it professionally anymore. He has been training a young boy to take his place. That is where you will find them," Solomon got out a map and gave it to her as he showed Bansieru where they were located.

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart," She kissed him on the lips and walked out.

"What a woman!"

"I summon Dark Magician," He tributed two monsters for his key card.

"Good going Yugi," A boy replied who was dueling Yugi. He wore one of those Duel Academy Duel Disk's and seemed to have a few monsters on the field and a face-down card.

"Now I will activate this! Diffusion Wave-Motion! By giving up 1000 of my Life Points I am able to attack everyone of your monsters. Now strike with Dark Magic Attack!"

"Ehhh!!" His two monsters were destroyed as his Life Points hit down to two-hundred fifty. "That was fun but I still have my own way of winning." He drew a card and smiled as Yugi smiled as well.

"Remember that fighting is not everything. Strategy is something you must have also."

"Alright then. I will activate a magic card," Just then Dark Magician began to grow old and decripit.

"Decay Spell decreases the attack strength of all monsters on the field leaving their attack strength at one-thousand."

"Oh no."

"Next Blast Warrior in attack mode!"

1800/1000

"Now Blast Warrior go and destroy Yugi's Dark Magician. Blast Cannons!"

"My Life Points went down to zero! How?"

"When Blast Warrior attacks during the battle phase his strength is raised by five-hundred."

"It looks like you beat me after all."

"Do not be modest Yugi. I just drew the card I needed was all," The duel disks turned off and everything disappeared as Yugi walked up to the boy.

"I see you still remember what I have taught you so far."

"Yes. Believe in the heart of the cards and you will never lose."

"That reminds me. How is that new band of yours doing?"

"We are getting ready for the new tournament coming up that is held by Kaiba. No one knows yet where it will be held though," He and Yugi began to walk up to a door in a big red house in the boys neighborhood.

"So you must be doing well in Kaiba's Dueling Academy?"

"I am but there is still the legend of Yuki going around."

"He was a great duelist."

"I know, but everyone thinks I won't be as good as him."

"Trust me," Yugi put his hand on the boys shoulder, "You will become a great duelist just like me and him Shino."

"You really think so?"

"Your friends you have made at the academy wanted to band with you and create a new Duelist League. That has to count for something."

"I guess you are right Yugi."

"That reminds me. I promised Tea that I would be home shortly."

"When will I see you again?"

"I think I have taught you everything you need."

"REALLY," Shino shouted as he grew happy.

"As a matter of fact I think we will meet again in Kaiba's tournament. It will be the last one I am ever going to enter."

We see Shino inside his house closing the door as he runs up the stairs we hear his mother's voice. "Shino did you and Yugi have a good time?"

"Yeah," He runs back down and into the kitchen where Mrs. Magami is. "He said I am finally ready to graduate from being his apprentice."

"Well that is fantastic! Oh I forgot to tell you that your friends from Duel Academy called and are waiting for you at your training spot."

"Thanks mom," He grabs some food off a plate that his mother just brought out while cooking and runs back out the door as someone watches him.

"So that is the new little duelist. I sense something about him that I've never felt since I was put inside the Shadow Realm." As Shino runs down the street and into a side corner alleyway Bansieru begins to take the path he just took. "Now it is time to defeat the best and then I will become the best. Soon no one shall reject me. Heh heh," And she begins to laugh walking down the street.

Episode 3- Do I Look Alone Part 1


"We thought you would never get here," Lynn stated as all five of them welcomed Shino. It seemed that these were his friends from Kaiba's Duel Academy, which they call themselves the Rogue Group.

"My mom just told me you guys were waiting for me and I got here as fast as I could," Shino explained.

"I'm just glad you did," Wayne replied as Theros gave him a stern look. "What?"

"You should remember that we have some 'other' news," Theros implied still looking at Wayne who seemed to go down a bit.

"I do not understand. What is going on?"

"He is just worried about what Kaiba said."

"You did not have to blurt it out Lynn," Theros yelled at her as she tackled him down the ground.

"Come on guys, tell me what is happening!"

"I will tell you," Bakyru came from out of the shadow he was standing in, "You left school in such a hurry that you've missed the big announcement."

"I guess I just wanted to duel with Yugi."

"Serves you right," Lynn said getting up from the ground with Theros.

"Kaiba was on the PA explaining that his new prestigious tournament would be held in Kaiba Land."

"Didn't he already do that like decades ago?"

"Not in Europe," Risha interrupted with as Shino's eyes lit up.

"You have got to be kidding!"

"That is not the half of it," Lynn took over the conversation. "It seems Kaiba is only picking the best students to go with him to the tournament."

"Bummer," Shino stated giving his hopes up.

"You dolt," Risha smacked Lynn as she laughed. "What she forgot to say was that our team was picked as the best Duelist League in the school so we are going!"

"WAY COOL!"

"I cannot believe we are going to Europe and be in Kaiba's new tournament!" Just then a strange woman walked into the alley blocking the sunlight.

"I can't believe it either," She replied walking slowly towards the group as they backed away into the shadows.

"We do not like interlopers!"

"You children should really give up what you have and call it a day."

"Hey! Who are you anyways?"

"My name is unimportant. What is, though, is that I want to duel against Shino Magami!"

"I am Shino Magami," He walked in front of the group as her eyes widened.

"Your day of reckoning has arrived. Since you are now all alone it looks like my dreams come true."

"Do I look alone to you," Shino stated as each of them walked out from the shadows they went into. "Sorry ma'am, but I only duel if you face my little group here and win at least once."

"What makes you think I am going to do that?" She laughed as he just stared at her.

"If you want to duel me you'll just have to."

'I sense such power in him. He must possess one of the things that can put me back into the abyss!'

"Yeah, and I am the one that will start things off," Lynn implied as she activated her duel disk.

'She also has a great aura of power. Then... these must be!'

"What do you say old lady?"

"NO ONE CALLS ME OLD! If I win I not only get to duel against your little friend but I also receive the most rarest card in your deck."

"Remember once you face all five of my friends you must win once then you get to duel against me," Shino announced as Bansieru activated her duel disk and smoke began to rise from it.

"Then so be it."

Bansieru & Lynn: "Let's Duel!"

"Let me start off our little game as I draw," Lynn said taking the card into her hand. "Not too shabby. It seems I am going to summon my Dork Rider."

1750/900

"Next I lay two cards down and end my turn," They all cheered her on as Bansieru's turn began.

"It looks like I am going to have more fun than I had originally thought."

"GO!" Dork Rider suddenly shot an arrow at two of Bansieru's cards in hand as they got removed from the game.

"How did that happen?"

"During my opponents draw phase Dork Rider is allowed to remove two cards from your hand. Do not worry though, they return at your end phase."

'This could be troublesome. I might not even get to play some of my strongest monsters!' "No clowning around then!"

2/2

"Dexil Wisdom-Lover. Next I place a card face-down and end my turn."

"That monster may be the cutest I have ever seen but it is also the weakest. In fact I never knew they made them so tiny."

"Just see what he can do and then be amazed."

"I will. Now since Dork Rider has removed at least two cards from your hand Last Turn I may sacrifice him to summon Geek Rider from my deck."

2150/1600

"When Geek Rider is special summoned by the effect of Dork Rider you cannot draw your next turn."

"Eh." 'Her power is flowing from inside. She has it in her hand but yet does not play it. I wonder why.'

"Geek Rider attack Dexwil with Glass Tape."

"Trap card is automatically activated! Ancient Rust Shield destroys your machine monster."

'How did she know that Geek Rider was a machine?' "That does not scare me."

'It will when I bring out my final victory.' "I summon Sierra Wisdom-Seeker."

1/1

"Another card with Wisdom in the name?"

"If you noticed that then it must be obvious for when these two creatures are on the field I am allowed to special summon Puc Wisdom-Keeper to the field."

0/0

"With these strong monsters in play I am a little bit wiser."

"Strong monsters? We shall see what is strong when you get done."

"I activate a field card known as Library Of Wisdom!" The field was suddenly changed to represent a large library as books filled every dueling corner. "This ends my turn."

"Fine!" 'It is time I finally show her what my deck is truly made of!'

"Geek Rider comes back to the field with his ability to revive."

"He is no threat to me anymore."

"We shall see about that," Just then a card in her hand lit up for just a second. 'What is going on?'

'It is happening!'

"It seems I have another card that wants to be played."

"Then use it!"

"First off since my Geek Rider was sent to the graveyard and returned I am allowed to sacrifice him for Nerd Rider."

2550/1850

"And then if I can get you to destroy this new monster I am allowed to immediately summon another monster from my hand. So lets see if I am gonna be lucky. Riding Bowgun!"

"It looks like you are correct for when my Library is on the field along with my three wisdom-type creatures monsters of higher attack are instantly destroyed if they choose Puc, Sierra, or Dexwil as one of their attacks."

"The duel is over then."

"I still have all of my Life Points."

"Not when I summon Shadow Gate Triasko from my hand to field!"

1200/2600

"ITS HIM!!"

"Huh? Never mind. Shadow Gate Triasko instantly destroys all of your monsters on the field and with Nerd Rider's ability I summon Honoured Studly Rider from my hand as well!"

2800/3700

"Now attack her Life Points directly and win me the duel!"

"EH!!"

"Looks like I win."

"Next!" Just then Bakyru walked up to Bansieru and activated his duel disk. Time passed and before she knew it-it happened.

"Now Shadow Gate Morphed Gatlinger attack her Amazoness Tiger. Jarring Gunshots!" Multiple shots hit Amazoness Tiger as it was destroyed along with Bansieru's Life Points.

"I have been defeated twice so far."

"You actually think you have a chance against me when you cannot even defeat my Rogue Group buddies?"

"That is not the point. I will get what I have been after soon and that is when the fun really begins."
=================================

Episode 4- Do I Look Alone Part 2


"You really believe that we are going to let you beat us," Wayne said as he activated his duel disk.

"I am just getting warmed up," Bansieru answered as each of them drew their cards.

'I feel something wrong with this lady,' Shino had thought while Wayne began his turn.

"Don Zaloog show yourself in attack mode!"

1400/1500

"To end my turn I shall place two cards face-down."

"My turn," Bansieru drew her card as everyone watched her moves closely.

"What do you think she is really after," Lynn asked Shino.

"She said she wanted to duel with me to become the best. I only believe that this is true but...," Shino replied as Theros had a curious look on his face.

"What is it?"

"Something still does not add up. How can I be the best?"

"Maybe she is some weirdo just trying to make us pay for not eating our broccoli and spinach?" Risha implied as the duel went on.

"Now I use Amazoness Summoner's special ability," She disipates as Amazoness Striker is brought on the field.

2200/1200

"My beautiful jungle-girl is about to accessorize as I equip her with Amazoness Bowgun." Striker holds out her hands as a bow appears in them.

"What exactly do those do?"

"Unlike normal equip cards this one does not raise or decrease her attack or defense points. In exchange she is now allowed to attack an extra time in one turn by giving up one of her five arrows. Unfortunately once all five are gone her bowgun goes straight to the graveyard."

"I am sure you will not get that far."

"Striker destroy his Don Zaloog!" As Don Zaloog is blown into bits three new monsters take his place.

"You allowed me to force the activation of my spell card!"

"What spell card?"

"This one," He raises his hand as the face-down card is revealed. "Mustering Of The Dark Scorpion's automatically is triggered once Don Zaloog is sent to the graveyard."

"Uh!"

"This instantly summons all monsters in my hand with 'Dark Scorpion' in the title."

1000/1800
1800/1500
1000/1000

"Shall I introduce you to my new creatures?"

"Do not be cocky I am not going to be afraid of some useless warriors," Bansieru replied looking at Wayne's Dark Scorpion Meanae The Thorn, Gorg The Strong, and Chick The Yellow.

"What's your next move?"

"Amazoness Striker use an arrow and take down Chick," The arrow hit Chick in the chest as he vanished.

"Ehhh..."

"Bowgun Arrowhead," Bansieru orders her Amazoness to attack again but this time its Meanae who is getting destroyed. "Now take down his last monster!!"

"Shrouded Arrow Blast," A trap card flips face-up on Wayne's side of the field as the arrow is sent flying back at Amazoness Striker.

"How could you make my own monster attack herself! This is madness," Amazoness Striker's attack goes down.

1700/1200

"Why was she not destroyed," Wayne shouted in surprise.

"Her ability allows me to decrease her attack strength by five-hundred if any spell card targets her, then the effect is negated."

"You will not be lucky after this turn is done with."

'We shall see once I own all the Shadow Gate Cards so I can never be forced to go back in the Shadow Realm again!'

"Dark Scorpion Arrival! This continuous spell card raises my Life Points by 1000 for each attack by a Dark Scorpion."

"I cannot believe this."

"Take down Amazoness Striker Gorg," He takes down Striker while his Life Points become 1800. "That does it for me."

"I am not going to allow some useless street punk to defeat me this easily," Just then it started to rain.

"Lets get out of the rain guys," Lynn mentioned as they went into the shadows watching the duel.

"Your Life Points are so low right now that I would not be surprised if I did."

"You will regret those words. Now I summon Amazoness Mage!"

500/1500

"Are you telling me that you are a serious dueler," Wayne asked laughing at the monster Bansieru summoned.

"Looks can be deceiving. My Mage take down his Gorg the strong with Majestic Sword!"

"Huh!? But she will be destroyed!"

"Not when her attack strength is higher," Amazoness Mage's attack rose up to 2000 as her wand-sword combination weapon hit Gorg and he was destroyed. "Any last requests?"

"I have one!"

1000/1000
1800/1500
1400/1500

"Half of these cards she is using I never even heard of," Shino stated.

"Yeah, I sure would like to know where they came from," Risha replied as Theros began to laugh.

"Don't you get it?"

"Get what?"

"She must have known Pegasus directly."

"What makes you think that?"

"The Amazoness' she has been using were never officially released to everyone. Only a few copies of them were made."

"Then they are illegal?"

"Not quite. Pegasus did put them out in circulation but only a very rare few."

"So she might just have the edge."

"Precisely."

"Then how come she has been losing so much," Lynn butted in.

"Oh come you! You guys are not that dumb."

"I get it now! She is testing us before the real duels begin," Shino said as Theros agreed.

"I still do not understand why she would lose if she wants our cards to begin with?"

"After she checks out our strategies she will be able to know how we play and use that to her own advantage."

"I sure hope you are wrong Theros."

"Scorpion Of Dark Betrayal allows me to bring back three of my monsters from the graveyard. If I am allowed to summon at least two monsters with Dark Scorpion in the name I can draw until I have three cards in my hand," Wayne drew as he summoned another monster.

1200/1000

"Cliff The Trap Remover!"

"You will never win for my Mage is too strong for any of them," Bansieru replied laughing hysterically as Wayne looked at his hand while a card in it shined.

"You think that was my summoning?"

"You did just play him."

"Sorry to disappoint you but when I draw my new cards due to Betrayal's effect I can special summon each card in my hand with Dark Scorpion in the title or Cliff the Trap Remover. Since he is all I have now it is time I reveal my true plan."

"WHAT!? What was your true plan?"

"I sacrifice Cliff and Meanae to summon this!!"

3100/1250

"NOOOO!!!"

"Shadow Gate Warlord Quazar!" This new monster looked like a giant medievil knight with a sword taller than himself. His armor was sparkling with stars all around it.

"So you have one as well."

"I do not know what you mean by that but now my Warlord's special ability activates. If the monsters I tributed for him had less than 1300 attack then he gains an additional one-thousand attack strength."

4100/1250

'It is just as powerful as when I had faced them from trying to escape once. But how did these children get a hold of the precious Shadow Gate Monsters?'

"Now attack her Shadow Gate Warlord Quazar with Starlight Smash! And then Gorg attack her with Dark Burlgar Expertise!"

"AHHHHH!!!!"

"It seems I have won this duel."

"Yes. So it seems you are not that alone as I would have liked Shino. But soon I will be the one who everyone will praise too! Hahahaha!"

[SebastiaanZ]

I am sorry I have not yet commented on this Season 1 thread and I am in quiet a hurry now. So I'll give a very short review.

This is a very interesting beginning. I did not catch that Bansieru was a female person. Interesting how things play out and I liked the Dork and Geek cards. How did you come to the idea of those?

Anyway I'll catch you for the next episode!

[MetalPharoah]

It would not allow me to add anymore text to the previous message so I must add this one instead as a new post!

Episode 5- Theros And The Rock Band


"You do know dueling against me is a bad decision," Theros stated as he put back the cloak he was wearing to reveal a different kind of duel disk than what everyone else was using.

"And what makes you so different than the rest of these losers?"

"This coming from the woman who lost to everyone so far?"

"Hmph."

"Don't Theros," Shino implied looking hard at him.

"I just wanted her to know who she was now dealing with," Theros replied as Bansieru laughed.

"You make me laugh. Why should I be afraid of you? What do you have that the others don't?"

"Besides Shino?"

'He is going to reveal himself!' Shino began to think to himself as everyone else turned their focus towards their fellow duelist.

"I am Kaiba's Duel Academy Tech Major For Dueling Arts."

"Titles mean nothing to me," Bansieru then activated her duel disk once again.

"My duel disk is much more advanced than yours. I customized it myself," Theros activated his golden duel disk, which was shaped like half a circle and had ridges around the top.

"Customizing your disk is nothing compared to the dueling."

Bansieru & Theros: "Let's Duel!"

2400/1400

"Armor Exe in attack mode then I place one card face-down."

"My move," She drew and instantly summoned the monster.

1500/1600

"Amazoness Swordswoman packs quite the punch so I would not mess with her if I were you."

"I am quite familiar with your monsters power and frankly she does not frighten me," He looked at his monsters' hologram which seemed to look 3-d.

"HUH!? How can you say that!"

"I have ways around your moronic lady so summon as many as you wish!"

"You overconfident fool!" 'He does not know whom I am.' "How about a taste of your own medicine? I play Amazon Jungle."

"So all of your Amazoness and Amazon monsters are raised by 200 attack and defense. Oooh, not to mention the specialty of making me only able to attack one of your Amazon monsters a turn."

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?"

"I told you my duel disk is very advanced," He reveals a wire around his ear. "You see this allows me to be told everything about the cards my opponents use. It looks like I am one step ahead."

"I end my turn!"

"Before you do so I activate this! Pitch Black Power Stone. And once activated it gains three spell counters," the stone activates to the field and suddenly three little green balls float above it.

'He thinks that is going to stop me?'

"Now I believe my turn officially starts as I remove one of my spell counters to allow Armor Exe to stay on the field," One counter disappeared as two more cards were laid face-down. "Now I present to you, for your pleasure, a monster whose gonna rock your world!"

"Give me a break."

"Monk Fighter!"

1300/1000

"This is where I play Pot Of Greed to draw two new cards." Theros began to look through his hand.

"Didn't draw what you were looking for?"

"You should not try to read peoples faces. So how about I play Kaminote Blow?"

"Yawn. I am beginning to get tired."

"Let us see what you think when Monk Fighter takes down Amazoness Swordswoman!"

"Looks like your Monk is down for the count. Hahahaha!"

"You must not know what Kaminote Blow does? Goodbye Amazoness Swordswoman."

"She may be gone but I assure you this is not over."

"Armor Exe attack."

Bansieru's Life Points: 1600 Theros' Life Points: 3600

'This kid is as arrogant as they come. I believe it is time I actually take him down. Then they will see how strong I really am!'

"That ends my turn."

"Finally! It seems that the luck of the draw is good with me so now since you introduced your weak Monk how about my Amazoness Tiger and her wonderful 600 boost?"

1700/1500

"Now I activate my face-down card Call Of The Amazons!" Suddenly another amazoness appeared on the field sitting on the Tiger.

1400/1500

"Amazoness Tamer is brought to the field from my deck and when she is special summoned in any way I can play this card from my deck," She reveals a leash-looking card with the Amazoness Tiger and the new girl on the field.

"Tamer's Whip! I never even knew that card existed."

"So you know what it does then?"

"Of course. Your Tiger's attack is raised even higher along with Amazoness Tamer."

2100/1500
1800/1500

"So what do you think of my Amazoness' now?"

"They are just as useless as your other techniques."

"Errr! I can now play Polymerization to fuse Amazoness Tiger and Amazoness Tamer together and fuse them both into Amazoness Tamed Tigeress!"

"I like her effect. Raising her attack by the same as the fusion materials, not to mention you get to keep her Tamer's Whip."

4500/3000

"Now my darling attack Armor Exe! Tigress Bite! Soon I will win."

"NOT SO FAST! For I activate my trap card known as Rock Band!" Tigress' attack was suddenly stopped as she hit the rock wall that formed.

"How did you stop her attack?"

"My Rock Band trap card negates your attack as long as I offer a monster on my side of the field to the graveyard."

"Hefty price."

"But then it is my turn again." 'This card will...' Suddenly the card he drew shined in his hand. 'Am I seeing things? It never did that before.'

"What is it?"

"Nothing you have to worry about. I activate another face-down card, Graveling Golem Grantsique! Now I am allowed to summon both monsters from my graveyard to the field. Armor Exe and Monk Fighter. Next I shall tribute Monk Fighter for Master Monk."

1900/1000

"Now since I have your attention," Suddenly the card in his hand lit up so brightly everyone seen it.

"It seems to me that a card in your hand is aching to be played."

"I do not know what you are talking about. Now I tribute my Armor Exe for Hieracosphinx!"

2400/1200

"Your monsters can do nothing to my own."

"That is why I end my turn."

"You should have listened to your card. Let me guess... IT WAS A SHADOW GATE MONSTER!!"

"How did you know?"

"You will find out later. FOR NOW TAKE HIM DOWN AMAZONESS TAMED TIGRESS!!!"

"Ehhh!!!"

"Looks like I won. AND YOUR SHADOW GATE CARD IS MINE!"

"NO!" His card flew from his hand and into Bansieru's.

"Now you see just how strong I really am!"

"Why did I not listen to the call of my card.."

"Theros!"

"I, am a failure.... Risha."

======================================

Episode 6- Behemoth Master Of All Beasts


"You did not fail," Risha ran towards Theros as he fell to the ground.

"You are pathetic," Bansieru smirked as Risha bent to the ground and held Theros in her arms.

"Theros you cannot do this."

"He won't get up. I fear the duel was too much for him."

"You witch!"

"That would be a compliment."

"For what you have done it is time to duel against me. Are you ready?"

"How could I not be?"

Bansieru & Risha: "Let's Duel!"

"For what you have done to Theros I'll defeat you in one swift swoop!"

"Big words for a small girl."

"How small do you think I am when I bring forth Maji-Gire Panda!!"

1000/800

"But this does not end it, oh no. I have more in store for such a wicked woman."

"Keep talking like that and I might have to send you home without supper."

"Don't listen to her Risha," Bakyru said with encouragement.

"I don't plan on it. I activate Forest," Risha played the field spell card as everything turned into a forest. "And you thought my beasts would not have a jungle of their own to play in."

"You should hope I don't draw my Tiger or else your beasts will have a cat fight."

"Finally I place down two face-down's," She put two cards face-down on the field as her Panda began to bite on some bamboo.

"Awww, look at the cute little bear. Does it want a snack with its meal? Hahaha!"

"I thought you were sensitive about your monsters?"

"Grrr... Anyways I will set one card face-down and then give the field a little turn for its money as I summon Amazon Archer."

1400/1000

"She may be a little strategic but I can pull it off."

"What are you babbling about now?"

"You will see. Ever since I began to battle your little group I am surprised none of you noticed my strategies. That is what makes you so inferior. So I use Amazon's Chain!"

2000/1000

"When I play Amazon's Chain it forces me to end my turn."

"Then it looks like my Panda got a little help."

'What you don't know is that my Chain comes with a special ability that will soon give me a strong army.'

"Now watch as I summon Roo-Gire Panda," The forest surrounding the animal began to increase its attack and defense.

1000/400

"Just like you used your little Wisdom creatures my Panda's are very special for when I summon Roo he lets me special summon Gyaku-Gire Panda from my deck!"

1500/1800

"My three darlings are so cuddly, but that is not going to matter so make your move!"

"CALL OF THE AMAZONS!! A little trap card that says now I summon Amazoness Fighter."

1500/1300

"And since you never asked I will reveal that my Amazon's Chain has a special ability. I can special summon Amazoness Chain Master from my deck!"

1500/1300

"Now that I have special summoned every monster I just played I will summon a monster that you've helped! Amazoness Tiger!"

2900/1700

"You should have never played Forest for now I will destroy your weakest monster."

"That is what you think. Show face-down trap!"

"Risha just played Beastly Overature," Wayne stated out.

"That's her best trap card," Shino replied.

"Now when you attack the weakest monster on my side of the field I only take 1000 damage to my Life Points."

"At least he is gone."

"That is what you think."

"What happened!?" a face-down monster appeared on the field.

"When you attack my weakest monster my trap card allows me to special summon another monster in its place."

"Your useless parlor tricks won't work for much longer."

"My go! Now I sacrifice my two Panda's for Behemoth The King Of All Animals."

2700/1000

"Since it has been a turn since my trap card was activated Beastly Overature takes down your weakest monster by removing my trap from the graveyard."

"It's about time I take you down once and for all. Tiger attack that hidden monster!"

"Heh... You made a mistake by attacking my Neko Mane King. So what was that about defeating me?"

"JUST GO!"

"Glad to," Suddenly the card she drew began to light up. 'What is this? Wait! Theros lost after his Shadow Gate Monster was calling out to him. Maybe mine is doing the same. Alright then, lets go!' "I sacrifice Behemoth The King Of All Animals to special summon Shadow Gate Behemoth Master Of All Beasts."

2700/1000

"His effect allows me to special summon Behemoth The King Of All Animals back to the field for one turn. Then I can summon a beast monster from my hand, deck, and graveyard. So here is Exarion Universe, Vorse Raider, and Neko Mane King. Now I use Shadow Gate Behemoth's third ability that allows me to sacrifice all other monsters on the field to strengthen his attack. First I get rid of Neko Mane King to raise Shadow Gate Behemoth's attack by 300, then the next monster by 500, next I tribute Vorse for another 700, then the other Behemoth for another 900 strength!"

5100/3400

"And if that wasn't enough I activate his fourth and final ability. He can attack all monsters on your side of the field at once and then you take 500 damage for each monster destroyed along with the battle damage you would normally take!"

"THIS.... IS... THE.... STRONGEST.... MONSTER.... YET....."

"Take down her three monsters with Roar Of The Beast Master," As he roared the sound waves destroyed each of Bansieru's monsters and her Life Points dropped to zero. "Game... over."

"It seems you are very powerful but I shall take you down in time."

"Now you shall face me in a duel," Shino walked out from the shadows

"You look the easiest."

"We shall see. And after I win I want you to tell me everything about yourself."

"I don't give out information for free, kid."

"Then fear my deck!!!"

Episode 7- Annihilation


'Finally my chance to treat this woman with what she deserves for making Theros feel so bad.'

'Your days are numbered little boy.'

"You know there is one thing I hate more than a cheater," Shino said.

"And what is that spiked head," Bansieru asked.

"ITS A POOR DUELIST!!"

"Then you would have no problem treating me just like your other competition?"

"It would appeal to me to take you down!"

"Then why not start now?"

"Shino, are you sure you want to do this," Lynn asked as Risha held onto the now growing-faint-from-losing Theros.

"I've wanted this ever since she has laid eyes on me."

"You don't know how much that goes for me."

'Get her for me Shino,' Theros had thought as he fell unconsious.

Bansieru & Shino: "Let's Duel!"

"GLADLY!!! I place three cards face-down and summon Amazoness Blowpiper. Your move."

800/1500

"I know what you are planning on doing and I will make sure your Amazoness does not get the beefy strength boosts from your cards. I set one monster face-down and lay down a face-down."

'Good.'

'I still don't trust her,' Wayne thought as another Amazoness was summoned.

"If you remember my duels so well then I won't have to repeat what my trap card just did for me."

1200/900

"So with my Amazoness Huntress and Blowpiper I will finally normal summon Amazoness Paladin."

2000/300

"Now Paladin attack his monster using your Swift Wind Chop!"

"YOU ARE NAIVE!"

500/1800

"You flipped my monster up allowing his ability to commence," Shino stated as all three Amazoness' switched to his side of the field.

"Inconceivable."

"As long as they remain on the field they are under my control."

"You won't get away with this!"

"Watch me."

"JUST GO!!!"

"I sacrifice Totem Of The Tribe, Amazoness' Huntress and Blowpiper for Shadow Gate Sword Destroyer Anhia," He summoned his greatest monster. As it stood besides him we see it looks like Reshef The Dark Being a little bit but has eight arms each holding a large sword that have hooks at the ends of them. He has a torso and is indigo colored. His head was very small but it still stood very high with a darkish-purple helmet covering his hair. His Shadow Gate emblem was on his chest.

2600/3250

"A Shadow Gate!"

"Not just any, one of the strongest you have ever laid eyes on."

'I do not know how these cards were created, just that they were made into cards from the old stone carvings. I need them all if my plan is to come full circle. But there are only six of these kids, and there are seven Shadow Gate Beasts. Where is the other?'

"Since you have no monsters on your side of the field I'll have my Sword Destroyer attack! Eight-Sword Slash!"

"OWWWWWWWWWUUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHH!!!!!!!"

"Hurts when he attacks doesn't it?"

"You don't know the half of it. These Shadow Gate Cards are much more than you could ever believe."

"Then lets end this!" Bansieru's Life Points are dropped down to 1400. "Paladin finish this off!"

"REVEAL FACE-DOWN! Life Draining Reserves! This is going to cost you. For each spell card on the field I gain 2000 Life Points and then I have to discard my hand." Her Life Points rose all the way to 7400.

100/1050

"Who is that?"

"Sorry Shino, but my Amazoness Witch Doctor has a special effect. When discarded from my hand it is summoned to the field and I can offer her right now for another raise."

"Intriguing. I was wondering if I wouldn't win so easily."

"Did I forget to mention my Life Points can only rise to a maximum of 8000 since I played Life Draining Reserves?"

Bansieru's Life Points: 8000 Shino's Life Points: 4000

"Hahaha," Suddenly Shino burst into laughter.

"What are you cackling about?"

"Anhia's special ability allows me to release one card on my field for him to attack again."

"It won't even phase me."

"When each sword pierces you the damage with this ability is 1000 for each sword!"

"NO! This is not.... How.... who could have made these effects?"

"Now Anhia attack her with Eight Sword Pierce!"

"AH," as each sword struck inside of her as if a magic show one by one smashed into pieces taking a little bit of her Life Points down.

"That's all he wrote."

"You geeks are having too much fun," A voice announced from watch-looking devices on each of the Rogue's wrists. Theros overheard the voice and began to gain consciousness.

"Head Master Kaiba! We were just dueling some old lady," Lynn replied back.

"If she wants to get in the tournament tell her to get her own ticket."

"Are you sure we should tell her that?"

"Unless she already beat one of your Duelist League members?"

"Ummm... About that."

"You mean to tell me she has!? Never mind. Just get here as soon as possible," Kaiba stated as the devices turned off.

"It looks like you deserve this," Theros handed over a ticket he had for entering the new tournament

"It looks like I am going to get your cards soon enough," Bansieru stated as she suddenly disappeared with the ticket.

Episode 8- Blasteron Omega


"All aboard the plane," Mokuba stated as twenty students from the Academy boarded the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Jet. It seemed they were all getting ready for the tournament as each of the students were fixing up their decks and putting in new cards from their backpacks. "Everyone on?"

"I count all twenty sir," Roland stated as he sat down in one of the rows.

"Good," Mokuba went into the captain's room, "Everyone is here get ready to leave."

"Yes sir!"

"You think Head Master Kaiba is going to duel in this tournament," One of the younger kids asked another.

"I am sure of it. He seemed all fired up when talking about it."

"Too bad Director Kaiba could not be here," That was when Mokuba came back into the room and heard what they were saying.

"You two should know my brother better than that," Mokuba stated.

"What do you mean Head Master?"

"Of course Seto is going to be there. But only for a short time."

"WICKED!"

"Now get your decks done we will be in Europe for the opening of the new Kaiba Land soon enough," He walked away and sat down besides Roland.

"Shouldn't you get your deck ready as well Sir?"

"No worries. Seto gave me a little help and I am sure it will be the best."

"I hope you are right."

"Yeah."

As the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Jet soared through the skies we can see it looks like the old Blue-Eyes Jet that Seto used except that there were two extra heads apart from each other which must have been two other separate rooms.

"We should be there any second by now sir," The captain announced on the PA system as Mokuba looked through his deck.

'So then if I use this card then this one should help it along.'

"Mr. Mokuba sir?"

"Huh? Oh, what is it Roland?"

"The captain just said we should be there almost any time now."

"Good. I cannot wait to see what everyone thinks of the new Kaiba Land. It's much bigger than the one back home."

"So you think that you will ever see your card again," Shino asked Theros as he sighed.

"I am not sure."

"It is quite shocking that she beat you and no one else."

"YOU THINK THAT HELPS SHINO!?"

"Sorry dude. I just was wondering that maybe you made her so mad she wanted to take you down."

"Whatever."

"He is right Theros," Risha said as she leaned over the seat to talk to him. "It seemed to me that she was studying our decks but your arrogance annoyed her so she did what she could do."

"No. It was my fault."

"Why do you say that," Shino asked.

"Clearly I did not listen to the call of the Shadow Gate Card."

"Oh, you mean that shining thing," Risha asked.

"Yes. He plainly called for me and I did not do a thing. Instead I played that useless monster!"

"Hey! No monster is useless. It was just that it was time for you to summon him but didn't," Shino said.

"You really don't get it do you?"

"Get what?"

"When Pegasus chose us to hold these Shadow Gate Cards he bestowed upon us a great responsibility. Don't you remember what he said?" And we seen a flashback into Theros' mind.

"It is quite a pleasantry to meet the most famed duelists in Duel Academy," Pegasus started out with as he got off his plane holding a few briefcases as his guide came off with him.

"The pleasure is ours," Each member of the group began to bow with respect.

"Please get up I am just another person."

"You are not just anyone Mr. Pegasus," Shino stated as he got up with the others.

"Let's go inside," They walk into the building as we switch to the Director's Office. "Seto it is great to see you again."

"What did you want with my best students Pegasus," Seto asked him as Pegasus put one of the briefcases onto Seto's desk.

"I have found and created cards stronger than the legendary God and Sacred Beast cards."

"WHAT!? How can that be possible?"

"A legend of long ago inspired me to bring these cards to life so after I got my company back to creating cards, after our incident from last year with Anubis returning, I created seven newly-powered cards."

"But you only asked for six of them."

"My assistant will get you up to speed," He walked into the room with a golden briefcase.

"Hello again. It has been quite a while. Right herr Kaiba," Zigfreid stated as he helped Pegasus.

"Why are you helping him?"

"Maxamillion here has decided to join my company with his and yours as a sort of corporal agreement. We are partners. Isn't that exciting herr Kaiba?"

"As long as you do not try to take over my company I am alright with it."

"Why would I do a thing like that?"

"But anyways Kaiba Boy this is not my assistant. He is," Leon walked into the room all grown up.

"Hi everyone," Leon said as Kaiba got a shocking look onto his face."

"I have been helping Pegasus with all of his dueling cards. With my help we recreated the spirits of lost souls, so to speak, of these seven cards," He opens the golden case that he is holding into his arms.

"Let me present to each of your six best students the Shadow Gate Cards," Leon revealed in the case six shining cards each that glimmered with immense power.

"But there are only six in there," Seto stated as he noticed a dent of a card in the middle missing surrounded by a circle of the remaining six.

"That one was given to my son," Leon announced as everyone else besides Pegasus, Zigfreid, and Leon got a shocking look onto their faces.

"Why would you give your son such a powerful card?"

"That is not for you to know."

"Right now we must speak to your Duelist League," Pegasus stated as each listened. "These six cards are very powerful. Do not lose them, trade them, or even abuse them. Remember each one has a bond with you as we speak." Just then each of the six cards flew to one of the members as if magic.

"Hmmm... Another magic show? I thought that after our last threat this would be over," Seto said.

"I had to make them. Something inside me told me they would be needed someday," Pegasus ended with as the flashback ends and we see Theros crying.

"I lost the only card that had a bond with me. Shadow Gate Blasteron will never be able to use his Omega Flare. I never even had the chance to use it," Theros cried lowly as Risha began to sob.

"I am so sorry. I know that we were entrusted with these cards but that woman will never get away," Risha replied as Shino began to think.

'Is that what Pegasus was talking about? Someday the cards would be needed. Maybe that woman is the reason they were calling out to him.'

"It is with great appreciation to announce we are now at Kaiba Land of Europe," Mokuba stated as everyone cheered as we see Shino still thinking.

'I just hope that Yugi can help us too.'

Episode 9- Lorelit Soldiers Of Fortune


"Now everyone before we get off remember that everyone shall be going right into the Kaiba Land Stadium for the announcements. All of those who won the tickets to duel and would like are welcomed, while the others can go on the rides. This field trip will be lasting quite a while, maybe a month so. Remember that shelter is at the Dragon Dome and food will be given out for free at all locations as long as you reveal your ticket and pass that hangs around your your neck. Now lets get out of here," Mokuba shouted as everyone ran out. Finally we see duelists everywhere. All kinds of children, adults, workers, rides, food, and duels going on.

"Are you sure this was a great Idea Yug?"

"Don't worry Joey. You wanted some help before you went on to work for Pegasus, so this last tournament should help you become stronger."

"Before you go on to becoming a teacher at the new Duel Academy. Am I right?"

"You are getting too strong for these guys anyway," Serenity stated as she wore her Canter Duel Disk. Yugi had his normal Kaiba Duel Disk and Joey had the same while Tristan had a Canter Duel Disk.

"We better hurry to the Stadium," Each of them began to run off as we see another plane, this time shaped like a pink dinosaur, have passengers getting off.

"So this is what my father wanted me here for?"

"Are you sure this will get everyone's attention on how strong we are getting Kraytn," One of the other three boys asked him.

"Fool! My father would not have helped us get here if he were not one of the best himself," Kraytn replied as each of them revealed a Duel Disk that resembled Theros' but a bit more advanced.

"You are right. Together we should be able to defeat any of these weak punks," another guy stated out.

"Come on we cannot afford to be late."

"I am glad to see such a great outcome," Mokuba began to say as he gave a speech in the Kaiba Land Stadium, "My brother will be here shortly to announce the ways to win. But first I must congratulate each of you for either winning our sweepstakes competition or winning in our Duelist League back at the Academy. For that you have guaranteed yourself a chance at this tournament. During the next month or so you may challenge whomever you wish but if the person you face loses he has to give you his ticket to show he is out of our tournament. In order to make it to the finals each ticket has in the back of it a piece of a dueling card. There are three cards we made that you can piece together as a puzzle. They are copies of the the three God Cards. Once you collect a picture of a God you can go to the finals. The finals will be revealed when there are only ten duelists remaining in our tournament."

"I have this in the bag," Kraytn stated as a duelist behind him laughed. "What are you--"

"I was just thinking how much you sound a lot like someone I knew," Joey replied.

"You think I sound familiar? I am sorry but I never met the great Joey Wheeler before."

"You know who I am!?"

"Of course."

"Looks like Joey has a fan," Serenity giggled out.

"And now that I have seen you I believe that we can be friends after we duel."

"Are you challenging me?"

"Actually I want you to be the first person I duel."

"You should get back to listening to the announcement Seto is here," Quint implied as Seto began to talk.

"And this tournament will be like Battle City. Each player starts with only four-thousand Life Points, but that is not all. Unlike any of our tournaments the winner does not get the rarest card from the loser. Instead I added a bonus. If you hold a Shadow Gate Card and you lose the winner gets your card."

"But Director Kaiba! What are these cards you are talking about?"

"If you do not know then you do not need to know. Just that if you win against a holder you can get them. Now we have also updated the Card Limiter for you to play with the Canter Cards created by an outside source before Pegasus got his company back. Have fun and duel!"

"I told you-you would be the first one to duel against me," Kraytn activated his duel disk, "So come on already herr Joseph."

"Your on," His duel disk activated as well as both of them began the duel. "I set a card and then summon Rocket Warrior in defense mode."

'Your useless dueling techniques are going to be the end of you.' "You should not try to use your luck skills against me, even if they are legendary." Kraytn then draws. 'Ahh on the first turn. Now I only need monsters to sacrifice.'

"Are ya gonna go already?"

"You shouldn't force me to duel. Since after all, my grandfather defeated you with ease."

"Your grandfather?"

"We will talk about him a bit later. For now I summon Lord of Dragons, and if you did not know yet I play Flute Of Summoning Dragon to special summon these."

1200/1100
1850/1500
1500/1850

"Lunar Dragon and Solar Dragon are now on the field so instead of using their union abilities I will fuse them together which allows me to make a new monster... Legendary Dragon of the Skies!"

3100/2350

"My dragon can fly so high that while your face-down card remains on the field, or any others, he can attack you directly. Not to mention I have to destroy all other monsters on my side of the field when he is fusion summoned. Goodbye my Lord," He is destroyed as Legendary Dragon of the Skies attacks Joey directly.

"That won't help ya soon enough."

"Isn't that what you said to my grandfather? If I remember correctly from his stories you told him that he was just a freak with bad hair. Do you remember Zigfreid Von Shroder?"

"Ziggy? No wonder ya sound so much alike. I take it Leon is your father?"

"Yes. And he has helped me make this deck... But do not be discouraged, only a very few legendary duelists have defeated me."

"Then lets see if I can! I activate Call Of The Dragon Knight and I sacrifice these two monsters from my hand to ritual summon Knight Of Dark Dragon!"

1900/1200

"When he is summoned to the field your Dragon loses its special effects."

"That is just a mere set back."

"Then how about once a Dragon is attacked it loses 700 attack? Now Rocket Warrior blast Legendary Dragon and lower its attack," As it hits the dragon his attack is decreased.

1900/2350

"Now that both of our monsters share the same attack I reveal face-down card! Graceful Dice!" A dice is shown as usual and it lands on a three.

"Looks like my Knight has an attack of 5700! Goodbye Legendary Dragon!"

"Not so quickly herr Joseph. I activate the Chain-Link, Build Together, which blocks your attack and raises my Life Points by 300."

"Then I end my turn."

"Good choice. Now I activate a ritual card myself, Ash Revival as I discard my Valkyrie Greta to bring forth Smoke Dragon!"

3050/2450

"Due to my Knight's ability it loses 700 attack."

2350/2450

"That is nothing! When my monster is summoned this way he places all of my other monsters face-down attack mode. So guessing their attacks is your only option!"

"Now with my two dragon's I can summon Valkyrie Reikza!"

3200/0

"What a minute! How can she have such a high attack?"

"For each dragon on my side of the field she gains an additional 1000 boost. Now in the name of my grandfather Legendary Dragon attack his Knight. Booster Missiles!"

"My Knight!"

"Smoke Dragon use your Volcan Ash! Wipe out Rocket Warrior. And last but not least for the win my Reikza attack herr Joseph directly!"

"It seems ya beat me after all."

"And I did not even have to play my ultimate monster," Kraytn stated as we see a card shining lowly in his hand as he put it back into his duel disk.

"Here is my ticket," He handed it over to him.

"Don't forget to tell others about me and my other friends. We make the Lorelit Soldier's and soon enough this tournament will be ours."

"Sure, Now hows about we get to go on that Rocket Warrior you've been talkin about sis?"

"But you said you were afraid of how fast it went," Serenity asked him as the group walked away with Yugi staring at Kratyn before turning around and going with the others.

"The day will come when I become as great a duelist as my father. Before then I will call upon my monsters to give me the strategies I need. Along with my grandfather's Valkyrie's I am sure to win."

[SebastiaanZ]

I definitely liked the last turn. Really good written. And the dragons that were played, just impressive. Keep up the good work with the end of Season 2 as well.

Episode 10- Fitting The Pieces


"I cannot believe I already have two pieces of Ra," Shino stated as he walked away from his duel with some kid.

"You think that is impressive. Take a look at how many I have," Theros revealed all from his neck.

"You have five! How did you get five already," Risha asked him.

"That was easy. Each of these duelists were so weak they had no chance."

"Even without your Shadow Gate Card you are still quite strong. I wonder how Wayne is doing," Shino implied as they began to walk around looking for him. We now see someone looking at them from the side.

"So you think that collecting these pieces are easy do you? Well I only have three but soon we will make that more and once I collect the complete picture of Obelisk this tournament will be mine. Not to mention the Shadow Gate Cards," Bansieru stated.

"After searching for so long I doubt he is outside," Risha exasperated as they sat down on a bench. Suddenly they heard a voice coming from inside the nearest attraction.

"What was that," Shino asked as he got up and slowly walked towards the Dark Scorpion Gate.

"Lets go together." As they walked into the gate and seen many different pictures of the Dark Scorpions along with what they were famous for the talking got louder.

"I now summon Shadow Gate Warlord Quazar!"

"That is one of those cards Seto was talking about," A kid stated shakily.

"I bet that is him," Theros yelled as they ran into a Don Zaloog room.

"Now attack him directly with Starlight Smash," Wayne called out his attack as the kids Life Points hit zero.

"That was a great game," The kid walked over to him and they shook hands as he handed over his neck-piece.

"I always love a good duel."

"We were wondering if that was you," Risha implied as Wayne turned around.

"Always sticking with the Dark Scorpion's?"

"You know how it is Shino. Once you make a deck you always want to stay where you're welcome," Wayne answered with as they all laughed.

"I doubt that was even funny," A strange but familar voice said walking into the room from the ceiling.

"What do you want?"

"Calm down Shino Magami. I am not here for you this time," Bansieru stated.

"Who are you anyways? And why do I feel like you are after the Shadow Gate Cards?"

"Because I am."

"WHAT," Wayne shouted out as she laughed.

"You would not believe anything even if I told you. But to get into the finals I must get enough neck pieces of my Obelisk."

"I am the only one here with an Obelisk piece," Wayne said as he got in front of the others.

"I know. That is why I have been watching you duel. I don't only want your Shadow Gate Card but I want another piece of my puzzle."

"Then you are on!"

Wayne & Bansieru: "Let's Duel!"

"This will be like taking candy from a baby," She implied drawing her hand.

"We shall see about that."

"You can do it Wayne," Theros shouted.

"Amazoness Tamer comes to the field as I place down two cards."

1200/1500

"That does it for now."

"Good because I feel like giving you an old-fashion butt whoopin!"

1500/1850

"Support Recon in defense mode."

"Very good choice."

"I thought so."

"But not good enough so I draw!"

"NOT SO FAST WEIRDO!"

"The only weirdo I see here is the one playing with half a deck."

"My Support Recon's special effect allows me to give up 500 Life Points to look at the card you drew."

"Oh well, its just my Amazoness Summoner."

"Thanks for telling me."

"It will not matter once I activate my trap card. Moon Pool!" The surrounding area darkened and a moon appeared as a little bit of moon dust glew all the way down to Bansieru as a pool of water appeared under here feet as her Life Points went to 4750. "When this trap card is activated I can choose a monster on the field and raise my Life Points by half of that monsters attack and I chose your Support Recon."

"Gaining more Life Points will not save you. It just helps my strategy out more for what I have planned for you."

"We shall see! Now I summon Amazoness Broad Blader."

1800/1100

"And along came her effect. I am allowed to play any equip spell from my deck as long as it can be played onto her."

"Great strategy of your own but soon it won't matter."

"Yeah that is what everyone says. I play Personal Defense and my Blader does not gain anything, except the ability to attack you during your own turn. Oh and I gain 500 Life Points each time she attacks. So soon I will have more Life Points than you can get rid of and I will win! Now attack him Broad Blader!"

"Chain Link Fence," As he used it a chain link fence appeared from the ground and blocked his monster. "Doesn't look like he wants to go without a fight. Now I give your Broad Blader something to scream about as I summon Warbot 67.92, but I am not done yet."

1750/1500

"I also activate Frontline Base. This allows me to special summon a union monster from my hand if less than 5 stars. So I bring out Warbot 13.84. These are special for when both my Warbot's are out there combine to Mecha Warbot 67.84!"

2250/2350

'He already has a strong monster out! I cannot defeat it this way. But wait,' She looks at her face-down card. 'I forgot I laid down my new trap card I bought. Once he attacks I will be safe anyways!'

"I can discard one card from my hand to discard one from yours, and since I know where you placed Amazoness Summoner I choose the one on the right."

"MY SUMMONER!"

"Doesn't look like any strong monsters are going to be played that easily."

'My plan!'

"Because of Personal Defense your Amazoness Broad Blader must attack."

"Good! Now Blader strike down that useless Recon! Along with my 500 Life Point boost."

"And now it is my turn. Mecha Warbot 67.84 Rolling Gunslinger!" As he rolled over to her Amazoness Broad Blader the Amazoness disappeared. "What happened to her?"

"I activated Dramatic Rescue. Instead of attacking my Broad Blader you are going to take down my Amazoness Swordswoman."

1500/1600

"Her effect makes me take all the damage!"

"Thanks but I still can hold my own. Now I only have one card left but that does not mean anything."

"It does when I discard one last card from my hand to discard Broad Blader."

"Errr!!! I WANT THAT WARBOT TO BE SCRAP METAL!"

"You may go any time."

"Good! I drew a wonderful card known as Card of Sanctity. We both draw until we have six cards in hand. Now I play Tamer's Whip onto my Tamer and use Polymerization to fuse Amazoness Tamer and Tiger together for Amazoness Tamed Tigress."

2800/3000

"But what pieces my plan together is when I place down two cards and play Emergency Provisions to get rid of them. Now Tigress attack!"

"Eh!"

"Go."

I place one card face-down and play Dimension Fusion. By giving up 2000 Life Points this brings back my Warbot's. This ends my turn."

"What an easy way to win. Now attack Tigress!"

"This is where you don't win! REVEAL SELF-DESTRUCT BUTTON!"

"What does that do?"

"We both lose all of our Life Points if you have at least 7000 more than me."

"BUT I HAVE EXACTLY THAT MUCH MORE! NO!!"

"I keep my Shadow Gate and you don't gain or lose anything."

"Fine, but I shall return later," Bansieru disappears as Shino, Theros, and Risha cheer him on.

"Next time you will get her just like you just did," Shino stated as the day ended.

Episode 11- Moonlight Warrior Strikes


"That was a great way to show that wench how we do things when she takes our Shadow Gate Cards," Theros exclaimed as everyone seemed surprised he was being so encouraging.

"Are you feeling alright?"

"Of course I am Risha."

"Well you seemed to be acting strange yesterday."

"Only because I never thought Wayne could have defeated her with so much Life Points."

"You guys," Shino walked up to them in their bedroom as they were talking and getting ready for the new day.

"What is it," Risha asked.

"Lynn! She is going to duel against one of those Lorelit Soldier's!"

"WHAT!? But they are our sworn rivals! If she loses a Shadow Gate to them--"

"Calm down Theros," Wayne stated as got up from his seat, "We just have to go cheer her on." As they walked their way to where Lynn was she was already trash talking the other guy.

"We Soldier's don't take kindly to threats."

"I am so sorry Rhett but you tried to make us look like losers. We heard what your boss did to the legendary Joey Wheeler," Lynn said back as he laughed.

"We are here for you," Shino shouted as Lynn turned around to see her friends.

"So all of the Rogue Group is here. Good! Now when I defeat you I can take whoever else has a Slifer piece."

"That is what you think," Bakyru walked out slowly after the others as he revealed he had a Ra piece.

"The almighty Bakyru."

"A wimp like you Rhett doesn't even deserve to say my name."

"I'm not dueling you anyway. Now lets get going, Red!"

"If that is all it will take to shut your mouth."

"It will. And when I win, your Shadow Gate Card will belong to the mighty Lorelit Soldier Rhett Thompson!" 'This hand will do numbers for me.' "You may go first, since you are a lady."

"How nice, I thought you didn't have respect," She drew her card. "First off I bring out a friend from the last time we dueled many years ago."

"Yeah. It does seem ages."

"Dork Rider kind of reminds me of you."

1750/900

"Now I play the field spell Catalyst Chaos," bombs appeared in weird places as ditches began to fill around both duelists and separated them from the others.

"I see you have changed your deck a bit."

"Yeah, but that is not the only thing I changed. Now Dork Rider gets rid of two cards from your hand."

"If I remember correctly they return when I end my own turn."

"Wow Lynn is not playing around this time," Wayne stated as another monster was summoned.

"Grand Musician is a nifty little song writer. For when he does damage to you I gain 700 life."

1700/950

"Now I lay down three cards and end my turn, but not before these two come back."

"Since Dork Rider fulfilled his task he can be given up to summon Geek Rider from my deck."

2150/1600

"Now my Geek attack him with Glass Tape!"

"My Musician is staying so I will use Negate Attack, after all your Geek Rider's effect will not be used this way."

"I lay down three face-down's."

"They seem nearly equal," Risha stated as Wayne agreed.

"If it keeps going like this it might take all day before someone wins," Shino implied.

"Due to my Geek's effect you cannot draw."

"But I took no damage when he attacked?"

"I know. I didn't think you could remember anything like that anyway."

"That was harsh," Bakyru said under his breath.

"Now I reveal my face-down card. Reinforcements Of The Army! I can take a warrior from my deck and add it to my hand. Now I reveal another spell card known as Legendary Vulcan Sword Pontius and equip it onto my Musician."

2500/950

"Like his new attack strength? Soon he will take you down along with the special summoning of this! Guardian Pontius."

2000/1950

"When Legendary Vulcan Sword is on the field he can be special summoned. But do not worry he is much more frightening than you would have thought."

"You still do not scare me."

"I should."

"I still have my face-down cards."

"Not for long. This is where you give up! I reveal another spell card, Crescent Moon! Now I must offer monsters that equal level seven or more on my side of the field, and this ritual monster has an even better ability. I can remove cards in my graveyard from the game and each one counts as a level so I am going to get rid of my Grand Musician twice, Legendary Vulcan Sword, and Negate Attack for Moonlight Warrior!"

1950/2850

"When he is summoned to the field I get to play Mystical Moon from my deck and instead of 300 its a 1000 boost!"

2950/3150

"Now this is where you get paid. For you see, when my Sword is destroyed I get to place five spell counters on Pontius, and with his ability they mutiply into ten!"

"So what? Am I suppose to be afraid of them?"

"You will be now. I use the card in my hand. Mega Ton Magical Cannon! Now my ten counters fill the cannon up," As we see the cannon sucking in the ten spell counters as each hole in the cannons filter is filled up it blasts and destroys all cards on Lynn's side of the field with a huge explosion.

"Oh no!"

"Now I have no worries. Pontius attack her Life Points directly with Vulcan Machine Barrel!" He blew huge rounds of rockets at Lynn as she screamed.

"This is not fair!"

"What's not fair is that you were weak," Her Life Points go down to 2000. "Now go after her Moonlight Warrior!"

"Reveal Chain-Link!"

"That should have destroyed you."

"Chain-Link's have that effect on people. This one allows me to gain a last chance. So now I use my Catalyst Chaos to special summon Rider Of ABG!"

0/2000

"But as long as he is on the field for each monster with Rider in my graveyard he gets a power boost."

3000/2000

"All I had to do is discard Alpha, Beta, and Gamma The Fraternity Warriors from my deck and hand. Rider of ABG attack Moonlight Warrior!"

"Moonlight Warrior automatically attacks your Life Points directly when you attack him first. Go Moonlight beam!" The beam of Moonlight Warior's sword hit Lynn as her Life Points went right to zero.

"I... lost..."

"And your Shadow Gate Card is mine," Rhett said as her card flew from her deck and into his hand.

"No! Shadow Gate Triasko!!"

"He is such a weak one, but his effect will do very well in my deck. Thanks hun. Oh and how about you hand over your only neck piece?"

"TAKE IT," Lynn threw it at him as she ran away.

"Women."

"Don't worry about it Lynn Theros lost his Shadow Gate Card and I promise to get them back for you even if it means giving up my own."

"Thanks Shino," Lynn replied as they were in a Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi Flaming Coaster. Riding it together she seemed to get happier.

"Now come on and enjoy this ride!"

"I am sure you will get it back. But before we know it I believe that this tournament will be hard for all of us," Wayne mentioned. Back to the dueling arena where Lynn dueled, Rhett was on a walkie talkie.

"I got it boss."

"Good. You will make the Von Schroder's proud."

"Thanks. Next target is on its way," He ended with as he seen a kid walk by looking around.

Episode 12- The Seventh Shadow


"Alert! Alert! Shadow Gate detected!"

"What was that," Shino asked Theros.

"Since we have lost so many Shadow Gate Card's already I made it possible for us to get them back by finding out when one is played. That way we know what we are up against," Theros explained.

"Who gave you this idea," Wayne asked loudly.

"No one! I wanted to do it myself. Do you want to never see Warlord Quazar again if he gets taken away from you?"

"That does not matter."

"No, what does matter is that a Shadow Gate has been played and we are here talking about this new program," Bakyru stated bluntly.

"Come on guys, we should get going," Lynn said in a low under-appreciated voice.

"Just because Triasko is gone does not mean I won't keep my promise," Shino answered back to her as they walked out of the cafeteria.

"You think a wimpie kid like you could take on my own monster," Kraytn announced as his monster glown up with a great shining light.

"That monster is too strong for me to go up against!"

"You really are an amature. How did you get in this tournament in the first place?"

"I won a ticket during the Kaiba Corp Cereal Search," The little boy replied as his two face-down cards and one hidden monster were noticed.

"It is my turn!"

"Who is that," Shino stated as everyone looked.

"It can't be."

"What do you mean Bakyru?"

"It is the leader of the Lorelit Soldier's."

"You mean there is one of them we do not know about?"

"I am sorry to say it... but, yes Shino."

"This is Kraytn Von Schroder son of Leon Von Schroder," Bakyru announced as Kraytn heard him.

"Ahhh, yes. That is who I am. And you must be that useless Rogue Group that keeps getting in my Soldiers' way."

"But you told me that you were just a low level duelist like myself," The kid stated back at Kraytn.

"Still up to your cheating ways," Bakyru implied.

"You know me, I have to get what is easy to play with the big boys."

"I heard about your defeat of Joey Wheeler. But going as low as to cheat this kid out of a way to get better? That is as low as you can get."

"What do you say, kid? Do you want to stop dueling against me and show yourself as a failure that cannot deal with the high leagues?"

"I am not a fool! If you beat Joey Wheeler then it would be dumb for me to duel against you!"

"If you remember correctly Kaiba Corp rules states you cannot leave a duel unless it is over with."

"But you just said--"

"I was lying. Once I take you out your piece of the Ra puzzle will be mine."

"I don't think you will be facing him," Bakyru walked up to the kid.

"And what do you think you're doing?"

"I am adding my deck with his and going to defeat you myself."

"I am looking for Ra pieces!"

"What do you think I have?"

"Well then, a chance to take down Bakyru and gain another Shadow Gate Card."

"I do not think so. We are dueling as if I was this kid."

"Then no Shadow Gate rules."

"I see you were going to cheat this boy out a card."

"You know what it is like. I hate to lose my precious cards."

"Bakyru be careful," Risha screamed out as Kraytn took his turn.

"With this monster on the field I won't have to play a thing. Shadow Gate Green-Eyes Dark Dragon attack his face-down monster with Green Thunder!"

"Chain-Link activate! You thought my own deck with this kids you would get through?"

"Hmph. Go then Herr Bakyru," Kraytn stated as he flung his blue hair over his eye.

'If I remember correctly his monster is too powerful to crush with just one card.' "This little guy just wanted to make its presence known, Reflection Advisor."

1400/400

"But since I know what one of the face-down cards this kid played, I activate my Advisor's special effect. I combine Mirror Charm with Reflection Advisor to form," Mirror Charm was revealed and began to fuse together with the new monster.

"What ever the creature is he won't be able to stand up against my own."

"We shall see!"

1400/400

"Reflection Adviser II."

"He did not change a bit. All that happened was now he is holding some dumb double mirror, as if I did not know to stay away from him."

"Then I throw down a face-down."

"Let me get along with you. Playing that reflection monster was quite idiotic. After all you still have another face-down monster that will get the attack anyways. Now attack with Green Thunder! My Green-Eyes Dark Dragon's special ability destroys all spell and trap cards on your field!"

"Eh. Hmph."

"What is so funny? I got rid of everything but one weak monster."

"Want to check that," Bakyru replied as the attacked monster was revealed as Dream Sprite. "I choose for your attack to go after my Reflection Advise II."

"My Life Points!"

"That is not all," He waved his finger and played a chain-link card.

"Not Triumphant Thunder!"

"Now I take a chain-link from my graveyard and place it face-down on the field," He looked through the graveyard and found a card the kid had in there. 'This will do.'

"Reveal Reflectet Beckoning! Not only does your monster attack my Reflection Adviser II but I get to search my deck for Spell-Countering Reflectet and add him to my hand. If he was still in my deck Beckoning not only makes you take the damage but your monster is destroyed as well."

"AHHH!!!"

Kraytn's Life Points: 1300 Bakyru's Life Points: 100

"I still have a card to summon so I use Swan Maiden to special summon Valkyrie Brunhilde!"

1800/2000

"And she gains 300 attack for each warrior and dragon on both sides of the field."

2100/2000

"So then I summon Valkyrie Zweite and destroy your Dream Sprite. That ends my turn."

"Your grandfathers Valkyrie's don't frighten me," Bakyru ruthlessly said as he drew.

"They should!"

"I never knew that Von Schroder's had a thing for Valkyrie's," Wayne blurted out as Bakyru summoned Spell-Countering Reflectet.

100/100

"Now I use the field spell that the kid must have played before we got here to activate a trap card on the turn I play it. Ojama Trio!"

"Why give me these three weaklings?"

"It raises my Reflectet's attack and defense, not to mention you take damage when destroyed."

"But this cannot be happening to a von Schroder!"

1600/1600

"To bring this to an end I play Spellshield- Reflectet Mirror giving my Reflectet a grand total of.."

4600/1600

"Now attack every token on his side of the field!"

"I still have 400 Life Points since each token was in defense mode."

"That is why now my monster can attack one extra time. Take down Valkyrie Brunhilde!"

"AHHHH!!!"

"You lose. And this kid gets to keep his Ra piece."

"You really are great. But that only means one thing," Kraytn announced as his Lorelit Soldier's began to walk up to him when Bakyru took his deck back. "Each of my members are an amazing asset to have on the team, and just as strong. But unlike myself, none of them could ever compete with your rare abilities. I would be honored if you'd join the Lorelit Soldiers Bakyru."

"Thanks Mr. for saving me," The kid said as Bakyru gave him one of Kraytn's pieces he threw over. "I will be sure to thank you for this even if I do lose."

"That is alright. Now for you!"

"Join me, or we will take you down right now!"

Episode 13- Rogue Versus Lorelit


"What are you trying to say to us," Kraytn asked as Quint got in front of him.

"I think he is saying he won't join us boss."

"You are absolutely right, Quint," Bakyru rudely replied with as he fixed his deck up a bit to put back into his own duel disk.

"Let's go Bakyru," Shino asked him as Kraytn's Lorelit Soldier's surrounded the exits. "Let us go!"

"I do not think that can be possible," Rhett stated as he looked stern blocking the stadium's front entrance.

"We want your friend to belong with us," Sirus said as he blocked the rear exit.

"You see. There is no escaping a von Schroder!"

"Who do you think you are Kraytn?"

"You know I never did like you Lynn."

"I did not come here to make new friends. I have my own if you didn't notice."

"Of course. That is why you lost your Shadow Gate Card."

"And now I have it," Quint took it out of his duel disk and showed it to her.

"Triasko was mine! Pegasus gave it to me!"

"Pegasus?" Kraytn was suddenly surprised.

"Just fess up," Sirus stated trying to get Bakyru to duel.

"HOLD IT!"

"But boss?"

"I said hold it Sirus! I want to hear what she has to say."

"I still do not understand why Pegasus means so much to you?"

"A long time ago when I was starting out in the Duel Academy Pegasus came to see me with my father. It was only a few short years ago," Kraytn went on.

"It is with great apology that I interrupt you from your studies my son," Leon implied in his son's class.

"What is it father?"

"Pegasus is here to explain."

"Hello young duelist," Pegasus started out with as Kraytn almost fainted.

"You are the creator of Duel Monsters! But I thought you quit making cards?"

"I am sorry to disappoint you my dear boy. I began up once more after a few, mishaps."

"Whatever it is I can do for you I am here."

"I cannot believe it," one of the kids whispered to a few others down a row from them.

"Yeah, Kraytn not only is a von Schroder he has Pegasus coming to see him," another kid replied with.

"I wish I was him. He duels just like his father and his father before him."

"You do know that his grandfather defeated Joey Wheeler?"

"Everyone knows that," a girl replied to him.

"I have created seven strong cards. I wanted you to be the first to receive one," He opened up a briefcase and in it had seven cards shining with a great white glow.

"Can I take," He tried to grab one as Leon slapped his hand. "Father?"

"I am sorry son but these cards are not just given to anyone," Leon stated as he let his son's arm go.

"The card you will receive shall be chosen by itself."

"Why are they so special?"

"These are special Shadow Gate Card's. The strongest ever since the Legendary Sacred Beast AND God cards," Pegasus went on.

"Wow."

"Now we shall see if one chooses you," Suddenly they looked and the middle card of the seven, with six surrounding the seventh, flew into Kraytn's hand.

"Shadow Gate Green-Eyes Dark Dragon!"

"If Kaiba-boy knew you had that he would be so jealous."

"Isn't that where we are going next?" Leon asked Pegasus.

"Take care of it and remember not to trade, share, or tell anyone about this strong card. And keep it dear to you, for someday it might just be what you need to help save yourself," And then the flashback ended.
---
"That was all he told me about the card."

"So then why not join us as one?"

"Sorry Risha but he doesn't look like the faithful kind," Theros replied with.

"I do not want to be just a follower. No! I am a leader. Just like my father and his father before him!" Kraytn made boldly as Bakyru laughed.

"The only thing I know is soon your Soldier's will lose."

"No matter. In the end your Shadow Gate Cards will belong to me."

"Sorry to disappoint, but some strange woman has mine," Theros gestured as Kraytn got shocked.

"I am only going to allow you weaklings go if Bakyru duels against Sirus. If he wins we leave and he has his freedom."

"And if he loses," Shino asked.

"We get him on our side as a Lorelit Soldier."

"You got yourself a deal," Bakyru replied as Sirus walked up to him and activated his unique duel disk.

"This is going to be easy Soldier," Bakyru implied as he looked through his new drawn hand.

"Don't be so cocky. I will win this easily," Sirus replied as Bakyru went first.

"I told you that this would be quick. First I activate the spell card Pot of Generosity to place these two cards back into my deck."

"Why deplete your hand?"

"Because my deck only contains fourty-four cards and I drew six I must replenish it with my Pot to activate this!"

"That is a legendary rare card!"

"Yes, I know. It took me a lot of duels and tournaments to win this and I am now going to take you down with it."

"What is he talking about boss," Rhett asked Kraytn as he laughed back.

"That card can completely take away all Life Points if he plays it on the first turn."

"There is no way he can beat a card that does that," Quint implied.

"Obviously," Shino said.

"Time to focus on your lost attempt. Fire Juggle allows me to discard the remaining forty cards in my deck as you lose the same amount of Life Points times 100!"

"AHHHHH!!!"

"And since you hold a Ra piece of a puzzle I will be taking that as well."

"Noo! I only have one piece!"

"Your first time dueling for the Soldier's? How pathetic," Bakyru took his Ra piece and began to walk away with his friends. "Next time you want to duel against me Kraytn, then do it yourself."

"I thought he already tried that," Wayne laughed out as Bakyru laughed with him.

'You will not be laughing once I win this tournament. My family will be as powerful as Kaiba Corp!'

Episode 14- Clash Of Arrogance! Kaiba Vs Kraytn Part 1


"I hope they do not start without us," Shino stated as everyone ran onto the Pandemonium Archfiend Projector where a duel was about to begin.

"Are you all ready," Roland asked the crowd as he was in the middle of the room which was surrounded by archfiend statues.

"This is going to be one tough match," Wayne mentioned as Risha hit him.

"If it isn't then why would he stop the entire tournament," Lynn said.

"Of course this is going to be worth our time!" Shino yelled as he stood up, "I love your deck Mokuba Kaiba!"

"Please everyone sit down as we begin," Roland said as an archfiend monster statue opened up and Mokuba walked out of one of them with his new advanced super duel disk. "First we have the official match that will make history! Mr. Kaiba will explain everything." He gave him the mic as Mokuba took over.

"Thank you all for coming. When I was asked to do an official televised duel against one of the most prestigious names in Kaiba's Euro Duel Academy I thought it would be great for everyone to see. As I have entered this tournament and have nine pieces of my Ra card together I only need one more. If I win here today I will be in the finals. Now meet my competitor who asked me to this duel," He ended with as everyone looked at the other statue, which resembled Skull Archfiend Of Lightning, and it opened up.

"Isn't this just fantastic," Kraytn stated as he was handed another mic. "I wanted Herr Kaiba here to help me. We both have nine pieces of the Ra card and this duel would be most convincing."

"Are you sure that everyone here wants to see us duel," Mokuba asked him to get the show on.

"If they wouldn't why come? Now if you want to leave you can," they waited and no one left.

"It looks like they are genuine Kraytn. Now if you do not mind lets get this started!" Mokuba and Kraytn went to each side of the Pandemonium dueling arena and activated their duel disks.

"Let the ultimate game commence. Mokuba Kaiba versus the great Kraytn Von Schroder!" Roland shouted as he went to sit down on a nearby seat.

Mokuba & Kraytn: "Let's Duel!"

"Let us flip a coin to see who goes first," Mokuba said as a holographic coin began to flip slowly.

"I call it heads," Kraytn replied with as it landed on tails. "Looks like you go first."

"Alright. With my big bro's help I have equipped my deck with great strengths and cards. Now let us see if I can make Seto proud." As he drew the first card he knew what to do. "I summon Kaibaman and then sacrifice him to special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

3000/2500

"Seto gave you his Blue-Eyes!?"

"You would not believe half of the cards he gave me. Next I set a card face-down and end my turn."

'With a beginning like this I cannot win. If I go up against that monster I will need some help myself.' "I play zis spell card, Miracle Rituals. Now I can ritual summon a dragon from my deck as though this were a special ritual summoning. I still have to discard the correct amount of stars. I discard Valkyrie Brunhilde for Smoke Dragon!"

3050/2450

"Now I use Hand Replenish which stays on the field."

"Just like what Seto did to your grandfather I will do it to you!"

"Don't interrupt me when I try to explain what my new spell card does. During any turn I discarded or will discard a card from my hand I get to draw a new card after its gone," Kraytn drew and laughed.

"Are you sure this is not getting to your head?"

"Positive. Next I'll use this card! Nibelung's Treasure to draw five cards and play Nibelung's Ring on your Dragon."

"That is the card which was played on Seto's XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"

"So you know he cannot attack and when you draw every turn you draw two cards instead of one along with the twist of discarding one of those cards if any are monsters."

"Grrrr!!"

"Now I have you right where my grandfather had your brother when the first Kaiba Land opened. You are soon to be a thing of the past herr Kaiba!"

"Kraytn already has eight cards in his hand and nothing is stopping him," Shino exclaimed as Kraytn laughed below them.

"If Head Master Kaiba gets through this one it will be a miracle," Wayne replied with as the duel waged on.

"What to do with such a big hand? I know! Activate Swan Maiden to special summon Valkyrie Greta."

1900/1200

"This is probably my most powerful Valkyrie without the need of a tribute. Her ability allows me to discard three cards from my hand to special summon a Valkyrie from the graveyard. Come back Valkyrie Brunhilde."

2400/2000

"Next I will draw three new cards due to my Hand Replenish."

'If he keeps going at his deck like this it might be to my advantage.'

"Next I place down two cards. Finally I summon Valkyrie Reikza in attack mode."

3200/0

"Oh no! Head Master's Blue-Eyes is not that strong," Risha shouted.

"This means Kraytn will be able to take down his complete Life Points with just two monsters. And as soon as that Smoke Dragon takes him down Head Master will need to challenge someone else for a piece of the Ra card."

"You got that right Shino," Theros answered him.

"You guys still forget that this is the Director Kaiba's brother. He has all kinds of tricky things up his sleeves," Risha pointed out.

"Now I equip my Valkyrie Reikza with Shooting Bow Ciel!"

2200/0

"Now she may attack you directly! Shoot down his Life Points my dear!"

"Errr!"

"Hurts doesn't it? You should know since you helped create these new all powerful holograms. Now I will have Smoke Dragon take down your Blue-Eyes! Volcan Ash! Finally your Life Points are low enough."

"Then take me down with one of your gracious Valkyrie's."

"I would love to herr Kaiba. Greta go!"

"Reveal face-down trap card Soul Resurrection," Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared back onto the field in defense mode as Greta made Kraytn take a hit to his Life Points. "You see your plan has a flaw in it. And when your deck runs out due to Hand Replenish I shall win!"

Episode 15- Clash Of Arrogance! Kaiba Vs Kraytn Part 2


"Now with your turn ended I will get back at you Kraytn," Mokuba replied with and drew his new card that appeared to be Flute Of Summoning Dragon.

"Whatever. Just do what you have to so I can win."

"I summon Lord of Dragons and then play Flute Of Summoning Dragon to bring out another Blue-Eyes!"

1200/1100
3000/2500

"Then I switch Blue-Eyes into attack mode."

"WOW! Head Master has two of his Blue-Eyes already out," Wayne screamed with delight as the other kids tried to shush him.

"You do know that with this he might be able to win the duel," Shino suggested as Mokuba used another card in his hand that everyone was surprised by.

"Isn't that the same card your brother used against my grandfather," Kraytn asked.

"Why, yes it is. I have not noticed."

"It seems this duel is some kind of reliving moment from their duel. We have even played most of the same cards and moves!"

"You are right."

"I do not know what this means but this time I will come out on top instead of you!"

"If you haven't understood yet it is my turn and I have two vicious monsters out."

"My Smoke Dragon can take them out easily. So keep summoning weaker monsters!"

"I can still turn this around. Now Card of Demise allows me to draw five new cards but I have to discard them in five turns. I am not the only one who can make my deck go down to nothing."

"I am only recycling them, you will see that soon my deck will become greater again."

"I do not know how that will work. Now! Burst Stream Of Destruction will destroy each of your spell and trap cards."

"Don't think so. My own trap card Wobaku will make sure attacking my monsters won't work this turn."

"I still got rid of your cards."

"Blah! They were just stallers anyways. So what's next?"

"It seems that with those two monsters Kraytn has an advantage over them," Lynn stated.

"I am wondering who will win this," Shino said.

"It could be anyone."

"If you would not mind this duel is getting intense soo please quiet down," Bakyru leaned over his chair to say as they calmed down.

'Deck do not fail me now.'

"Come on herr Kaiba I said what was next and you just completely stopped. Are you surrendering the duel to me?"

"You would love that wouldn't you?"

"Why, yes."

"Then let this duel go on. I throw down two face-down's and that does it for me."

"At least your Lord of Dragon's is in defense mode or I would have been trembling," Kraytn badgered Mokuba as he drew a new card. "I tribute Valkyrie Greta and set the new monster face-down."

"Afraid?"

"Just being cautious. Now with your new dragon Brunhilde has more strength."

2700/2000

"Almost enough to defeat you."

"Dream on!"

"Didn't you forget something?"

"That is right," Mokuba noticed Reikza's attack was back up to 3200.

"And with your two dragons gone I will be able to wipe you out just like I should have last turn. You see herr Kaiba nothing will get past my family."

"I cannot believe that Kraytn is going to win after all," Risha began a conversation with.

"This is going to be unbelievable," Wayne replied.

"If he loses then we might be out of a school with high hopes," Shino said.

"What I do not get is that how could he lose? I mean Director Kaiba would be angry if he were here."

"LOOK!" Shino pointed out that Seto was sitting down by Roland in an unnoticable area. We go back to the duel.

"Now I will have Valkyrie Reikza destroy a Blue-Eyes!"

"Negate Attack stops your transition and instantly ends your battle phase."

"I place a card face-down. That will be it."

"This tournament was a great way to show off our new European location of Kaiba Land. I was sure glad to enter it myself since I got to face off against you in the end. I just hope that this is not the end."

"Stop talking nonsense. I am glad that your family gave me this chance."

"Thank you for such great compliments," A card was laid face-down on the field. "Now I activate my trap card Zero Gravity, but this is just the beginning. Now that all of our monsters are in defense mode I use a set quick play spell card. Forced Into Battle!" As each of his monsters were brought back into attack mode Kraytn's stayed in defense.

"Most of my creatures are weakest in defense but do not forget that my Smoke Dragon makes them unrevealed as face-down."

"I know. But I still have figured out where each of them are. Now I play the Fusion Gate."

"That card allows you to form a monster together without the need of Polymerization!"

"Now I use Divine Dragon Ragnorok and Lord of Dragons to fuse them into..." The monster appeared on the field in his awesomeness.

2400/1100

"King Dragoon! Now I have my Blue-Eyes White Dragon's take down Smoke Dragon along with Valkyrie Reikza!"

"They were useful when I had them out. My dear Valkyrie's had to give themselves up for new ones."

"Now Dragoon attack Valkyrie Brunhilde!"

"You should remember that when Brunhilde is attacked she can lose 1000 defense to save herself," she uses her shield and it gets cut in half as Mokuba ends his turn.

"Now I will win! I switch Brunhilde back to attack mode."

2400/1000

"She looks a little flushed."

"Her attack strength may be down but now she has the same attack strength as King Dragoon, but do not be worried. I can still use more cards to break them all down!"

[MetalPharoah]

Episode 16- Clash Of Arrogance! Kaiba Vs Kraytn Part 3


"Next I summon the mighty Boom-Oon," As the monster flipped face-up Kraytn began to laugh. "Say goodbye to your Blue-Eyes!" As Boom-Oon used a giant blasting barrel it went after Mokuba's monster. As the smoke cleared up it seemed that Kraytn's effect did not work. "Your dragon should be toast!"

"Thanks to my King Dragoon your monster effects do not work on ANY dragons," Mokuba stated as his King Dragoon's shield that was surrounding Blue-Eyes faded out.

"I still have one card up my sleeve. If monster effects do not work then let us try another approach," We get a flash of Kraytn's hand. In it seems to be the Shadow Gate card he played during his duel with the strange kid, Brain Control, and some other card.

"Try as much as you want nothing is going to work."

"Watch and learn. I activate my trap card Physical Double to make a token copy of my Brunhilda."

"I don't know what good that will do you since my other dragon's are too strong."

"I told you to wait, but in case you cannot... I sacrifice my Valkyrie Brunhilda and Boom-Oon for the ultimate card in this deck," He summoned an extremely rare card as it roared onto the field. "Welcome in to our duel Shadow Gate Green-Eyes Dark Dragon!"

4200/3000

"Next I will use the spell card Creature Swap and give you my Token Brunhilda so give me one of your monsters."

'If I give him Dragoon his spell, trap, and monster effects work again. But if I don't then my Blue-Eyes will just be able to destroy themselves.'

"What a predicament."

"I cannot believe it," Risha said.

"What? What? Tell me," Wayne began to shake her as she laughed.

"If Head Master Kaiba gives him King Dragoon then his dragon's will go back to being vunerable to card effects. But if he gives him Blue-Eyes then he can just take out the other one."

"Either way he loses," Shino murmered.

"Exactly," Risha finished with as Mokuba began to think.

"I have thought long and hard and I believe you should get King Dragoon," As control over the dragon went over to Kraytn things were just about to heat up.

"Now I use my spell card Brain Control. By just giving up 800 of my Life Points I can take control of one monster on your side of the field until the end of my turn."

"NO! I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A BLUE-EYES!"

"Too late. Now I get two of your monsters for the price of one. And the worst part is when your turn ends my Token Brunhilde goes to the graveyard. Soon your deck will be wiped out! Green-Eyes Dark Dragon attack.... Green Thunder!"

'I have no way to prevent these attacks!'

"Since my Green-Eyes declared an attack on your Blue-Eyes successfully his effect activates! Each spell and trap card on your side of the field are automatically destroyed."

"No!"

"That makes his attack to your Blue-Eyes negated since he would be destroyed."

"Soul Ressurection!"

"Precisely. Now is the time I win. No hand, monsters, or cards on the field. This is it Mokuba Kaiba!"

"You forget when you attack the Token Brunhilda any monster will be destroyed."

"That is why I end my turn. It looks like she is not staying for dinner."

"I get my Blue-Eyes back as well."

"Not if I activate this! Polymorphism. Now I can fuse together any two monsters on my side of the field even if a fusion does not exist," Suddenly Blue-Eyes and Green-Eyes began to form. The new creature looked like a Blue-Eyes body, with lightning green wings and dark green eyes. "Meet my Green-Eyes White Dragonoid."

4800/3200

"Nice improvement, but instead of that how about you go and then let me win?"

"Not a chance! Do you not know with King Dragoon under my control your other effects to get rid of either will be disrupted? There is no chance of victory."

"I'll find one. I play Pot of Avarice to shuffle five monsters in my graveyard to draw 2 new cards," As Mokuba shuffled in Kaibaman, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, another Blue-Eyes, and Divine Dragon Ragnarok, and another monster then drew his two new cards.

"Your new cards will not help you out."

"They will when I work them together. I first will place a card face-down and then summon Reversal Sorcerer in defense mode."

1000/2050

"On the defensive now? That won't work very well."

"We shall see. This ends my turn."

"I cannot believe how nerve racking this is," Theros stated as Wayne began to bite on his nails.

"I just want to see someone win already!"

"Who knew that you would be so hysterical Wayne," Shino replied with.

"It is not my fault that this match is going so well. It could be a tie!"

"I highly doubt that."

"Now," Kraytn drew and did not even bother to look at the card as he called for his King Dragoon to attack.

"I activate my trap card. Crush Card Virus!"

"Not that card!"

"I give up my Reversal Sorcerer to destroy every monster on your side of the field with 1500 attack or more, including from your deck."

"But that gives me nothing to use!"

"You told me it was over before we even began but now the wheels have spun onto my side of the field and with this all I can do is make sure your deck does not defeat my own."

"You won't get away with this herr Kaiba," Kraytn looked at the card he drew after he discarded all monsters in his deck with high attack strength. "My spell card gives me one more chance. Warrior Women From The Sky Haven!"

"What exactly does that do?"

"I can special summon five Valkyrie's from my graveyard to my side of the field. Then my turn ends since you destroyed my monsters during an attack. I bring back Valkyrie Erste, Brunhilda, Greta, Reikza, and Rosetta!"

1600/1800
3300/2000
1900/1200
1200/0
1600/200

"With these strong monsters now out I shall end my turn."

"I was about to think you were becoming overwhelmed with power."

"My field IS all about power!"

"Not for long. I play Lightning Vortex!"

"Noo! Now I will have no powerful monsters!"

"Your turn."

'No this card will not do. I need a stronger monster.' "I summon Valkyrie Dritte."

1000/1600

"Attack him my Valkyrie. Shining Fist Gallop!"

"This is going to end here Kraytn."

"You could not have!"

"I summon Twist-tale Dragon."

2500/700

"This card may stay on the field even though it is a level four monster if I give up the top five cards of my deck each turn. Now attack his Valkyrie!"

'My Life Points are too low!'

"Draw."

'This is more useless! And not even a monster!' "I pass."

"Now I give up five cards and attack you for the win! Frail Twister!"

"AHHHH," As Kraytn screamed his Life Points hit zero.

"I win your Shadow Gate Green-Eyes Dark Dragon," As Mokuba said so Kraytn's monster flew from his graveyard and into Mokuba's hand.

"I vow to get him back someday."

"And that folks is how we do it here at the Kaiba Land of Europe," Mokuba announced on the mic as everyone cheered him on.

Episode 17- One Card Down


"It has been two long weeks but finally our duel will challenge both of our skills. I may have five Ra pieces but I need your five to make the whole puzzle fit together," Shino was saying to some kid who challenged him for all five pieces.

"I will not lose this duel!"

"Are we too late," Joey asked as the old gang including the Rogue Group ran into the huge future-looking mansion that seemed to represent something you would have seen in movies about the 31st century.

"You guys are right on time," Shino answered him as Yugi smiled.

"It looks like my apprentice is about to start his all-or-nothing duel," Yugi said as the kid got his eyes lit up.

"Did you say this is your apprentice?"

"Yes, I did."

"Then I have to work at it harder to defeat you!"

"I hope you have your game face on because this duel is about to start," Shino exclaimed as he activated his duel disk.

"It sure is or my name is not Olivia Truesdale," She shouted activating her duel disk. As we see her she resembles the look of Jaden's old friend from Duel Academy Syrus.

Olivia & Shino: "Let's Duel!"

"Lets start this duel off with a bang so go Star-Gazer," Shino announced as his creature appeared onto the field.

1550/1200

"Then I throw down a face-down."

"That was a great beginning move for someone who has practiced with Yugi Moto. But I can still make you regret playing such a weak monster. Hyustratan Pulling Machine!"

100/1500

"That monsters way too weak," Joey yelled as Serenity laughed.

"Don't you know anything about the new cards Pegasus released within the last few years since his return to Duel Monsters," Serenity asked him as he got a confused face on.

"That it cannot even take out Shino's Star-Gazer?"

"No, silly. It can be sacrificed to destroy any monster on the field."

"So that means you plan to get rid of my Star-Gazer," Shino said in acceptance.

"That is correct. But first due to his ability he can be summoned right from my hand without hesitation. Gilasauras."

1400/400

"Now your Star-Gazer is gone!" As Hyustratan Pulling Machine blew up Shino's monster went with it.

"Uh uh uh. You must not have known that when Star-Gazer is destroyed I can special summon a light-type monster from your deck."

"WHAT!?"

"Yep. And it can be any level. Not to mention I gain 500 Life Points," Shino looked through the cards going around him like a giant screen view of her deck. "I choose this one!"

1450/4500

"Guardian of the Kingdom is here."

"But he is my only ritual monster. How can you bring him out without his proper ritual magic?"

"Star-Gazer is treated as any condition needed to meet for the summoning of the light monster."

"Since his strength is too high I will lay down two face-down cards."

"But he is not in attack mode."

"THAT MEANS YOU CHOOSE TO USE HIS ABILITY!"

"At the end phase he now goes into attack position."

'Since it is now his turn all Shino has to do is switch it back and none of my monsters can attack him!'

"Now I summon Perish Throughout The Night."

1000/1200

"Due to his effect I can search my deck for another shadow-type monster and put it into my hand."

'This is agony. He keeps summoning more monsters and with a bigger hand I cannot stop this onslaught.'

"Heh, you fell for it."

"What are you saying Olivia?"

"I fooled you into thinking I was afraid. Now I reveal face-down spell card Genesis Revival to bring back Hyustraten Pulling Machine. Now I destroy my Machine to get rid of your Guardian."

"You do remember the Guardian's effect right?"

"You get to search your deck for a monster of 1000 attack or less and add it to your hand."

"Correct. Now I reveal my own face-down card, but this one is a trap! Deep Crater!"

"That is a most devestating trap," Yugi began to say as Joey asked why, "He can look at the bottom card of his deck. If he wants to special summon it to the field he has to pay 1500 Life Points but if he doesn't and it is not a monster he has to pay 1000 just for looking."

"That is more of a gamble than what you do Joey," Tea stated as he got angry.

"I pay 1500 Life Points to special summon a new monster in face-down defense mode. Then I place a card face-down and end my turn."

"For an all out match I sure am getting the best of your deck Shino," Olivia said as she drew.

"Thanks. I did not know whether or not I was that good to tell you the truth."

"Give yourself more credit than that. But for now we have a duel to settle. I tribute Gilasaurus for Chain Conjurer."

2500/1950

"Then I activate this! My Union Calling trap card allows me to play a union monster from my hand onto the correct monster. I equip Chain Balance Machine onto my Conjurer!"

"I cannot believe you pulled off such a strategic move. No wonder you have five Ra pieces already."

"Save your comments for later because now my Conjurer attacks your monster! Chain Lightning!"

"You activated my monsters special ability. Pyrotechnic Summoning Machine!"

"What does that do?"

"If you must ask then watch instead," Shino exclaimed as all the monsters on the field were destroyed.

"My Chain Conjurer!" We see Conjurer being destroyed as the chain's two eyes open, look around, and itself falls on the floor smashing into pieces.

"Not only that but we both pick up five cards from our decks and show them to each other. Ladies first," He waved his hand out to her giving Olivia the first to go.

"I got Stone Crusher Elseopan, Great Slicer, Storm Eye, Cycroid, and Machine-Conversian Factory."

"Too bad for you," Shino said with his eyes closed.

"I do not understand?"

"You see I drew Delany Iwk, Blast Magician, Mysterious Omen, Rat Out, and Shadow Gate Sword Destroyer Anhia."

"YOU HAVE A SHADOW GATE CARD!?"

"Yep."

"I HEARD THEY ARE THE STRONGEST THING SINCE THE LEGENDARY SACRED BEASTS! But it has eight stars how can that help you?"

"My Machine you attacked lets us special summon all monsters of level seven or higher from our hands and then we place all spell and trap cards we drew face-down."

"And the other cards we picked up?"

"Go to our hands of course."

"But I only drew low level monsters!"

"Correct. Now I summon Delany Iwk and Shadow Gate Sword Destroyer Anhia to the field and then lay down my trap card."

"My two cards go face-down as well. Since it is my turn I have no choice but to end."

"And with no monsters," Shino drew as everyone got over excited.

"He is going to win," Wayne screamed outloud over and over again.

"Now attack Delany Iwk and Anhia!"

"I am done for," Olivia said in a low voice as her Life Points went down to nothing.

"You were great out there."

"You think so Shino," She asked as he walked over to her.

"You bet."

"Here take my five Ra pieces," She handed them over as they both laughed.

"Thanks. Hey Yugi lets go see if you can find pieces for your card as well," Shino exclaimed as they went on their way.

"He is going to make a great duelist someday," Olivia stated watching them walk away.

[SebastiaanZ]

Okey I definitely liked the three parter episode, MetalPharaoh. You let Mokuba duel, which was funny with Seto`s deck. Good job! I wonder why not many people are reading Shadow Gate. Definitely a fanfic to read!

I also liked the last turn. Nice cards, nice story. Well written. Keep up the good work!

Episode 18- Duel King Weevil Part 1


"Are you sure that she said it was this way," Yugi asked Shino as the Rogue Group searched for Yugi's last card piece to enter the finals.

"I am positive. I even remember her telling me that the duelist is stronger than you," Shino replied as Theros chuckled.

"You actually think that someone is better than Yugi," Theros said as Risha answered.

"It might be Jaden!"

"How can that be? He graduated Duel Academy years ago and moved to start his own journey. No one has ever heard from him since."

"You never know."

"No. It's not Jaden at all."

"How are you so sure Yug," Joey asked him as they all came to a stop in a small park-like area. It was surrounded by trees, trees, and more trees. As high as skyscrapers.

"Call it a hunch but it looks like someone is waiting here to duel us."

"It's about time you've shown up to duel with the King Of Games," Weevil answered as his duel disk shined in the sunlight.

"You are not the King of Games," Lynn shouted as Weevil laughed hard.

"Well that is not what the document I have states."

"Is this true Yugi?"

"Years ago a great evil swept the world and it almost destroyed everything and everyone."

"I won't forget that," Serenity stated as she had a flashback.

"Alright Shadow it has been long enough for you to stay in our world," Serenity gets her duel disk ready and activates it as Shadow makes a Canter Duel Disk appear onto his arm.

"I doubt he even knows how to duel," Tristan blurts out.

"Don't count on it," Atem replied.

"What is it Pharaoh," Tea asked.

"I remember dueling against Shadow and he is strong. I am afraid it will take more than Serenity's dueling skills to defeat him."

"It sounds as if she is in for a surprise."

"Serenity I think this is yours," Kaiba throws her the card left behind by Anubis for the winner of the tournament.

"My sis can do anything she wants ta do!" Joey screamed as the dueling field was surrounded by dark clouds.

"Get ready for the shadow duel," Shadow muttered as his deck appeared in the air.

"I'm always ready," Serenity drew her hand as Shadow put his deck inside his duel disk after shuffling it as the flashback ended. "That was a horrible time for us all."

"No kiddin! I thought we were all toast," Joey implied as Tea giggled.

"I still remember your face after you lost to your own sister," Tea laughed out.

"I don't think any of it was funny," Serenity said as the flashback continued.

"SWORD-WEILDING NIGHTMARE MASTER!! His ability is activated as long as Jolantia is on the field and the other four are in the graveyard. Release the swords and show your true form..." His swords fell from all six of his hands and he threw off his skull-armor and inside was a golden light with spirits surrounding him. Then the spirits began to glow onto his body and Jolantia was transformed into her old self but with dark skulls surrounding her dress. "This is the end... Jolantia Nightmare Goddess Of Rath!! And her effect activates now!!"

"My Life Points!!!!!"

"Her effect is simple. I WIN THE GAME AUTOMATICALLY!!"

"NOOOOO!!!"
----

"But then the only way to save Serenity from being taken out of Shadow's control was for someone who had an evil heart to use the Scrolls Of Anubis," Yugi was saying as Shino and the others were all ears. "I had to give Weevil my title in order for him to do what we wanted."

"And it worked. But after that you should have seen how much fun I've been having using MY new title," Weevil stated as Mokuba got angered.

"My brother should be the one with that!"

"Then come take it away."

"Nah," He shoved Yugi," This one goes out to the real King of Games."

"If that is how you want it," Weevil answered as Yugi opened his mouth.

"It is Weevil. I will reclaim the throne as King of Games."

Weevil & Yugi: "Let's Duel!"

'What Yugi does not know is that my deck has finally made a very drastic change.' "Ready to face my bugs of destruction Yugi?"

"I'm always ready Weevil."

"The first one crawling to the plate is Warrior of Stingers."

1450/650

"Then I equip him with with my Thorn Carapace."

"His attack did not change?"

"Oh it has much more than that Yugi."

"I think this guy is playing dirty," Shino shouted as others agreed.

"Say what you want but I have a superior deck than this washed-up has-been."

"No one says that about Yugi!"

"Hush! Now I lay one card face-down. Your turn, loser."

"Ha," Yugi drew as he looked at the card like usual. 'Heart of the cards guide me.'

"I just love when he does that," Lynn stated in love.

"First off I play Fissure!"

"You think my monster can be brought down that easily? Go trap card. Terrorking Archfiend's Revenge! I just have to discard 8-Claws Scorpion and it negates your spell."

"Very clever."

"Isn't he dreamy," Lynn kept going on as Yugi summoned his first monster.

"Riddle Traveler in defense mode."

300/200

"Your move."

"Hmmm... I believe I just found a new strategy. SO WATCH THIS EVERYONE AS THE KING OF GAMES IS ABOUT TO WIPE THE FLOOR WITH THIS HAS-BEEN LOSER!! Ancient Spell Book allows me to special summon a non-effect fusion monster. I choose Kwagar Hercules."

1900/1700

"Now I summon my Cockroach Knight and have him attack your Riddle Traveler!"

"My monsters effect is triggered!"

"A coin has been flipped?"

"And its heads."

"So what?"

"When you get heads due to my Traveler's effect you must destroy the attacking monster or choose to get rid of one in your deck of equal strength."

"Well then, you must remember my Roach goes to the top of my deck when destroyed."

"Yes, I know."

"Attack him directly Kwagar and you too Warrior Of Stingers!"

"I discard Wabaku Shaman to block the damage!"

"Fine. Now I place a card face-down and that does it for me."

"I bring forth Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode!"

1900/1700

"It looks like we both have a monster with the same exact attack and defense."

"That won't get past me."

"It will with this," Yugi reveals a card in his hand.

"I REMEMBER THAT!"

"Yes I played it for the first time in the Canter Judgment Tournament."

"That is one of Yugi's favorite cards," Shino stated as Lynn had hearts filling her eyes.

"Even I know that."

"I don't," Wayne stated.

"It is called Mask Of The Magician. It raises a spellcasters attack by 900," Bakyru replied with as Yugi's Skilled Dark gained a spell counter and more attack.

2800/1700

"Skilled Dark Magician take down his Stingers!"

"Don't be quick to judge! Thorn Carapace may not have raised anything but it sure states then when the equipped monster is destroyed, you take 1500 direct damage."

"AH!"

Yugi's Life Points: 2500 Weevil's Life Points: 2650

"Soon Yugi when my turn starts you will be shown as a true loser!"

Episode 19- Duel King Weevil Part 2


"Now I will show you how true my deck really is Yugi."

"I am not done yet. I lay down two face-down cards."

"Good, now to finish you off."

"But you forget the card you are going to draw is your Cockroach Knight, and it does not have enough strength for this situation."

"Not when I summon my Thorn Fairy. She allows me to draw five new cards so this way with her effect I can special summon Anti-Air Flower in defense mode!"

0/1600

"This is where you lose!"

"Oh no," Lynn screamed.

"What is it now," Theros asked.

"If Weevil uses that monsters effect he can sacrifice all insect's on his field to do 800 direct damage for each one."

"Wow, he really could lose this after all," Wayne said in surprise.

"Yugi can do it. I know he can," Mokuba stated as he cheered for him.

"Now I activate my trap card Roach Catapult Hotel. This allows me to special summon Cockroach Knight from my hand to the field. And when my Knight returns to the top of my deck he automatically comes back to the field instead."

"Not bad but you will need more than that to stop me."

"Don't you remember my Flower's effect? I sacrifice Cockroach Knight!"

"Show yourself trap card! Tombkeeper's Touch!"

"Now all of Weevil's direct damage for this turn does not go through," Shino stated.

"My Cockroach Knight returns to the field. Now how about we see if my next turn grants me enough as my Catapult forces you to only be able to attack my Knight. Your turn."

'There must be a way to turn the tables.'

'Soon I will win and Yugi will be finally shown as a true loser and flunky!' "Draw anything useful?"

"How is this!"

"Nooo!"

"Your Anti-Air Flower has been hosed down with Weed Killer!"

"You will see that it does not matter."

"Now take your turn."

"Gladly! I activate the spell card Handheld Tributation. I am allowed to use monsters in my hand for tributes instead of my field if I choose to. These are considered as special summonings as well. I release Kwagar Hercules and Thorn Fairy to summon Insect Queen!"

3300/2900

"Now I tribute Cockroach Knight and my Catapult, since its ability treats it as a tributing monster, for Insect King."

3600/600

"Finally, I sacrifice a card in my hand for Insect Princess," She flew on the field with her wings as we see the King, Queen, and Princess.

2400/1700

"Your time is up! For when these three are on the field you can only attack monsters with Insect in their name. Then again the monster I tributed for my Princess is brought to the field. Return Rising Locusts. All of my monsters gain an extra six-hundred attack as well."

1700/1700
4100/2900
4400/600
3000/1700

"These are the ultimate insect creatures, so say goodbye Yugi! Rising Locusts also has another special effect. Each monster on your side of the field is turned into an Insect themselves. So my Princess attack Skilled Dark Magician and get another boost!"

"I may be not the King of Games anymore but my face-down card will ruin your day! Magician Application Sign And Sealed," Skilled Dark began to sign a piece of paper that floated in the air as all of Weevil's monsters went down by 2800 attack.

"But how can it be so strong?"

"Yugi did it," Lynn shouted.

"I have to remove all spell counters from my side of the field in order to do so but now my Magician attack back!"

"MY PRINCESS!!"

"Not much left for you to do this turn."

"That's the way to go," Shino stated.

"And did I mention that your monsters won't be gaining their strength back during the End Phase?"

'Oh no!' "My title!"

"Skilled Dark Magician attack! Take down Insect Queen!"

"But I only have 50 Life Points remaining before you called out the attack!"

"By witnessing this event I believe that Yugi has won his title back," Mokuba walked up to Weevil and had taken his document that stated he was the King of Games.

"How could this go so wrong," Weevil sobbed as he fell down onto his knees.

"You should never have messed with my mentor," Shino walked up to Weevil saying as the others followed.

"Yes, but I wanted it so bad."

"Look at you," A boy stated walking out from inside the forested area, "You always were pathetic Weevil."

"Who are you to kick someone when they are down?"

"Ask him."

"What is he talking about," Wayne asked Weevil.

"This is my brother."

"WHAT!?"

"HUH?"

"WHOA!"

"It is true. My name is Levine Underwood the next duelist you will face!" He pointed to Wayne.

"Me? But why me?"

"You are the next duelist my little group is after. Your Shadow Gate Card will be ours."

"Then you are a Lorelit Soldier," Shino stated roughly as Mokuba listened.

"Your boss already lost to my deck," Mokuba revealed Shadow Gate Green-Eyes Dark Dragon from his deck.

"That was a fluke. He shall get it back soon enough."

"I want to hear no more," Yugi said.

"Yugi Muto? I thought you were out of commission?"

"I'm back."

"Well then, what a surprise. But I am not after you."

"Then I agree to your duel," Wayne answered.

"Finally the next Shadow Gate Card will belong to the Lorelit Soldier's!"

Episode 20- Back In The Game

"What makes you think I would ever duel you Levine," Wayne asked him as he grew backbone.

"I always heard you were a pushover," Levine answered with as he watched Weevil get up from the grass.

"You always were a pest in my salad brother," Weevil said looking at Levine in a disconcerning way.

"And you always were a scale on my hide."

"Why don't we duel instead?"

"Because unlike you, I actually have pieces of my card."

"That means nothing! Let us duel and see who gets the last laugh as supreme Underwood."

"I do not want you," He pushed Weevil back down. "Now stay down or I will put you down!"

"You know, I seriously despise bullies," Wayne yelled in rage as his duel disk activated and he drew his hand. "COME ON!! You wanted a duel now you got one!"

"I see you have come to your senses," He activated his high-tech duel disk and drew his hand as well. "The home team should go first."

"Very well."

"You will not win brother," Weevil shouted as Levine laughed.

"I always do!"

"Not this time," Wayne drew his first card and then played three cards face-down and summoned a monster.

1500/1750

"Warbot 13.84 is good for a start so I give it all to you now."

"I think I will enjoy this little duel of ours. I summon Serpentine Princess in defense mode."

1400/2000

"Then I throw done a couple of face-down's. Your dice."

"GOOD! I hate how you treat your own brother so this next move is for the worm he is."

"What kind words," Weevil stated.

"I summon Witch Of The Black Forest and then I activate my trap card Destruction Ring," As Wayne destroyed his own monster he searched his deck as each player took 1000 Life Points.

"I hope that was all for a purpose?"

"You will see. Now I play my face-down spell card Back to Square One. All I have to do is discard one card from my hand to return Serpentine Princess back to the top of your deck."

"You are a fool! My Princess' special ability allows me to special summon Infant Snake to the field. Oh and I get to shuffle my deck so I will not be drawing my Princess again."

1200/1400

"Watch out," Weevil warned Wayne.

"Why? It is just a harmless lizard," Wayne replied back.

"That monster may look puny to you now but as with myself, my brother is just as good a reptile duelist as I am an insect."

"Keep your trap shut Weevil," Levine kicked him in the face to stop him from talking. "Now lets get back to dueling."

'I wonder what Weevil was talking about. If this monster is anything like he was acting then maybe I should not attack it.'

"I am not going to wait all day."

"I end my turn."

"I guess my brother got to you. Too bad he did not finish that if my monster is not destroyed he evolves. I reveal face-down card Reptilean Scales! From this turn on he will evolve into a stronger reptile and soon he will be as unstoppable as Exodia! My reptiles may sound weird, but soon you'll see their strength."

"That does not sound so weird."

"Well the cards I am about to fuse together are. I play Polymerization to fuse together Drooling Lizard, Ancient Lizard Warrior, and Armoured Lizard to create," Out came a combination of a purple lizard with metal-sharp armor around its body and a long white beard, "Ancient Armoured Drivel Lizard!"

3800/3000

"WHOA HE GOT THAT THING OUT?"

"I never knew such a strong fusion existed from those old low-strength monsters," Shino replied as Yugi looked at the monster.

"I believe that with age comes wisdom and this monster has quite a bit of both," Yugi implied.

"Now with these two strong creatures out you don't stand a chance. Infant Snake transform from the Scales into Tunneling Serpent."

2300/2500

"Tunneling Serpent attack!"

"This is going to get sticky. Reveal... Shrouded Arrow Blast! Now your monster has to attack itself or another monster on your side of the field."

"Oh no!" He took a hit to his Life Points as his Serpent attacked Ancient Armoured Drivel Lizard.

"That is how it works."

"I am not worried. Now my Ancient Lizard, attack War--"

"When my trap card is activated no other monsters can attack as long as they were attacked already in the last two turns."

"Then I end my turn."

"And now with your growing seasick serpent out of the way I can finally summon Warbot 67.92. And when these two are on the field they combine. Mecha Warbot 67.84!"

2250/2350

"My monster is far stronger."

"That is why he is in defense mode. Now I lay down a face-down card and end my turn."

"It is about time I win!"

"What do you think will happen Yugi," Risha asked.

"I do not know," Yugi replied.

"I am sure that Levine is going to win. There is practically nothing that can defeat such a strong monster," Tea announced.

"Now I activate Call Of The Haunted to bring back Tunneling Serpent, and since my Scales never leave play it is time to transform my monster! Deadly Cobra has slithered its way."

3100/3300

"And since you only have one monster out I can finish your Life Points."

"Not if I stop you," He activated De-Fusion as his two Warbot's came back in defense mode.

"That just helps me more! It is time to finish this. Deadly Cobra attack his Life Points directly since he has two monsters on his side of the field!"

"No!"

"That is the end," Wayne's Shadow Gate Card flew right from out of his deck and into Levine's hand. "Warlord Quazar. I like the sound of this."

"You will only have it for so long."

"Did you forget I also get your only piece of the card?"

"You only had one?" Shino ran and asked him.

"After helping you I lost the few I had and this is my last. Now I am out. But get him for me Shino."

"I will."

"See you guys later," Levine said as he walked back into the trees.

"This is not the end!"

"Now since we have our cards why not get to the grounds and find where those finals are to held," Yugi asked him as Shino agreed.

Episode 21- Reveal The Finals


"You think I would allow you to gain access to the finals," Quint yelled at Levine as he was walking back from his victory over Wayne.

"I won my pieces fair and square!"

"Oh come on. You still need one more."

"I'll get it."

"Not as long as I am in this tournament. You see I already have ten of my own so I am going to be in the finals along with master Kraytn. I do not know what other Soldier's made it but you were just a runner up."

"What are you talking about? Kraytn chose me for his team because of my mad skills."

"You know nothing!"

"Then explain it me. Come on.. I am all yours."

"Hmph, just to waste my breath I will. You see when Kraytn wanted you for a Lorelit Soldier it was because of a request." And the flashback began.

"I always wondered what the great brother of Weevil Underwood was like," Kraytn stated back to a picture of some guy on a huge tv screen.

"I cannot allow anyone to find out about this, so act casual," The guy stated back to him.

"You are video-projecting yourself in my home. How could I tell anyone?"

"That is a good boy. As I was saying you need to add in your little group Weevil's brother."

"Group? We are Soldier's not a group. If you want him to join a group talk to the Rogue's. They seem to be for useless duelers anyways."

"Now now. Kaiba Corp Duel Academy is nothing to be sny about."

"Why did you want Levine to be in my clan? Isn't he a bit too old for a Duel Academy Duelist League?"

"You see I have been after the strongest duelists that show true potential and only your Lorelit Solider's promise that. If you allow him to join your rank might get a standing ovation."

"Why would I want that? I am already in Ra Yellow of Kaiba Corp Euro Duel Academy."

"Because, I will promote you to Obelisk Blue!"

"I'm listening."

"First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. Vellian Crowler. I am one of the head teachers here at the Duel Academy. I can pay for the arrangements and everything, including your new status."

"Why do you want this so bad?"

"Because the Rogue Group is getting on my nerves! Nothing but just a bunch of Slifer's that failed prep school and now here making a name for themselves. They have even undertaken what Jaden taught everyone that being high class means nothing. Their leader Shino was a promising student who should have been in Obelisk Blue right now but has been mindwarped by his friends to stay behind. I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE!!"

"Sounds like you are having quite a few problems. You do know my father helped Seto Kaiba build this Euro Duel Academy?"

"Yes, I know that. Your father was a great duelist and still is. I just want you here to take down the competition and make sure Shino is finally brought into my class as a true blue Obelisk."

"And all I have to do is add Levine Underwood?"

"Correct."

"The brother of the King of Games? I like the sound of that. But what if he does not make the cut?"

"You can kick him out at any time as long as he defeated one of those ridiculous Rogue's."

"It is a deal," And the flashback ended.

"So you see you were never really wanted. Kraytn has found out you just beat Wayne and now he wants you gone since the finals are about to begin," Quint went on as he began to laugh.

"Then we shall decide whether or not I stay with a duel!"

"Do not bore me."

"You chicken?"

"I accept your duel but before we begin remember my deck is much tougher than your own."

"Don't threaten me because once I win I have another duel to face against the last kid who holds the last piece."

"Ahhh, the way to the finals. I am quite surprised there is just one kid left," Quint stated as they both activated their duel disks and finally we go back to Yugi and Shino's group.

"Once we go find my brother lets make sure he never does anything like that again," Weevil implied as Risha looked at her recent victories.

"I am surprised I have made it to the finals," Risha said.

"You should remember I did as well," Bakyru stated as Joey and Serenity began to talk to each other.

"If I could get my hands on that Levine."

"Do not be so rough on him Joey. You never were a tough guy."

"I know Serenity. It is just that how he treated his own kid brother."

"I feel so bad about all the things I have ever done to you and your friends Yugi," Weevil apoloziged to Yugi and the others.

"It is alright," Joey answered with.

"Yeah. If you did not have any evil in your heart we never would have survived Shadow's wrath," Serenity added on.

"Plus you made sure that we never got to see Rebecca again," Tea also added on with as they heard someone begin to come behind them as they just got a glimpse of Levine's duel.

"You hoo! Yugi!"

"That voice sounds familiar," Tristan said as they all turned around while Weevil walked more to see who is brother was dueling.

"Rebecca!?"

"Yeah, It has been years. You look great Yugi," Rebecca began with as Tea got a nasty look onto her face.

"Hands off! This is my man," Tea stated as if biting Rebecca's head off.

"Oh I did not mean to come between you. I just wanted to show you who came here with me," some guy walked out behind her. "This is my husband Chummley."

"Hi guys."

"He likes Koala's. Isn't that cute Yugi?"

"Yeah," Tea answered with as a drip fell from her forehead.

"I think that is great. But what are you doing here at the new Kaiba Land?"

"I have been dueling. In fact I was on my way to find someone. You see I have only began to duel since my hubby here was late driving us."

"Well you are too late then I am afraid," Yugi told her.

"Yeah. You are the only one left who has a piece someone needs," Serenity stated as she just noticed Levine screaming so everyone ran up to him.

"If you want more then come on?"

"That is not nice," Rebecca yelled at Quint as he ripped off all the card pieces from Levine's neck.

"I got what I wanted," He then picked up the Shadow Gate Warlord Quazar. "This will make a great addition. And now not even the last chump can get the remaining nine pieces he needs."

"HEY! I am that chump!"

"Do I know you from somewhere?"

"I was a famous duelist as a kid. Rebecca Hawkins is the name and you tearing up the pieces I need was not funny!"

"Well then, let me make it funny," He activated a weird pulling machine which snagged onto Rebecca's card piece and ripped it right off.

"Give that back," Chummley shouted out.

"You are nothing but a mere casualty. Now that I have this," He ripped it up," I do not need it. Now who was saying there would be ten finalists?"

"You better tell Kaiba something or you will regret this," Shino yelled out as Quint walked away.

"Meet you tomorrow at the finals," Quint replied with as he disappeared into the darkness as the sun set.

"I will get him for all of you guys," Shino stated as he helped Levine up.

"I am sorry little brother. I just wanted to be as good as you and thought I had it," Levine stated as he and Weevil hugged and then got away from each other. It was a big day all right and now the semi-finals were next. Who would make it and who would lose? Find out next time on Yugioh SG!

[SebastiaanZ]

Nice turn once again, MetalPharaoh. Sorry I was not able to comment earlier. I seem to be the only one and everybody seems to be negating this excellent fanfic. The duel between Weevil and Yugi was pretty cool as well, I like the cards they both played. Well done!

Episode 22- Nine Most Fierce


"It is with great pleasure to introduce to you all the great Seto and Mokuba Kaiba brothers," Roland announced as they both grabbed a mic and appeared on the stage that Kraytn and Mokuba dueled a few weeks ago.

"I am glad to see such a great turn out for the semi-finals," Seto started out with, "This tournament was to show off our latest super 3d holographic projectors, not to mention the awesome new duel disks dispensed to a few players. But that is not all."

"Yeah! We have gathered for you the nine most fierce players," Just then Mokuba put his hand over the microphone and Seto did the same.

"What is it?"

"Wasn't there suppose to be ten finalists so we could do the last match as a tag team duel?"

"You are right! There must have been some delays," He motioned for Roland.

"What is it sir?"

"I want you to figure out why we are missing a finalist."

"That is easy sir. I have it all ready and on tape for you," Roland announced as they took both hands off the mic.

"We have some interesting coverage before we continue. Roland is about to reveal why there are nine finalists instead of ten. Whoever is responsible will face off against the strongest duelist in order to stay for finals," Seto said as Roland was at a machine and played the tape.

"You are about to be shown for who you really are Quint," Shino stated to him as he got angered. Just then the screen began to play the video.

"That is not nice," Rebecca yelled at Quint as he ripped off all the card pieces from Levine's neck.

"I got what I wanted," He then picked up the Shadow Gate Warlord Quazar. "This will make a great addition. And now not even the last chump can get the remaining nine pieces he needs."

"HEY! I am that chump!"

"Do I know you from somewhere?"

"I was a famous duelist as a kid. Rebecca Hawkins is the name and you tearing up the pieces I need was not funny!"

"Well then, let me make it funny," He activated a weird pulling machine which snagged onto Rebecca's card piece and ripped it right off.

"Give that back," Chummley shouted out.

"You are nothing but a mere casualty. Now that I have this," He ripped it up," I do not need it. Now who was saying there would be ten finalists?"

"You better tell Kaiba something or you will regret this," Shino yelled out as Quint walked away.

"So you see everyone due to Quint's act after his first round if he wins he must face off against the strongest duelists in the second round of the finals," Mokuba announced as everyone cheered.

"As I was saying before being interrupted. We are going to give away to the first and second place duelers of the finals these brand-new hyper disks," A case of two Hyper Disks appeared on the screen as the video of Quint ripping up the cards was gone. It seemed they looked like giant disks that could not fit anywhere and had huge areas but then they switched into compact mode and were as small as a fist.

"These new Hyper Disks can even project stronger methods for dueling. Kaiba Corp even added what cards your opponent plays do as a bonus! These Hyper Disks hit the streets in just two months for anyone who wants to pick it up so pre-order now," Mokuba ended with as Seto took over.

"As you can see in each of the four walls there are two openings," Everyone looked as the eight doors opened, "The first duel of the finals will be here and the next duels will begin in each of those openings. Inside is a room based on what each duelists' best monster and has great scenery for your deck style. Now let us introduce to you our nine finalists. We have the collector of the Card Pieces. Shino Magami, Bakyru Ryoo, Risha Strateros, Quint Lyroic, Bansieru, Rhett Turner, Yugi Moto, Kraytn von Schroder, and my brother Mokuba Kaiba!" Everyone cheered for each of them as Bansieru began to think to herself.

'With these top duelists now I have a chance to collect all seven Shadow Gate Card's. Since every finalists has one I will gain them one by one and the final match will be for them all! Before I know it my perfect Shadow World will be complete and everyone will live in the shadow's harmony!'

"And now to see who will be dueling against whom," Seto announced, as the screen changed and shown the old Blue-Eyes Ball Scrambler.

'I just hope I do not have to face off against Bansieru. I made a promise to everyone that I would get the cards back before anything like that would happen,' Shino thought as the first ball plopped into place.

'This duel belongs to me so I could care less who I get,' Bansieru thought as the second ball plopped into place.

'I see that I will be dueling first but whom? Risha has already been picked so it won't be her,' Kraytn thought to himself as his opponent was chosen.'

'So I will be dueling against that stuckup leader of the Lorelit Soldier's? I bet he is planning on getting his Green-Eyes back,' Mokuba thought as another ball plopped into place but it started a new row.

'I have a feeling some great evil will try and take over the world through this tournament. Whenever I'm involved, they always do,' Yugi thought as another ball plopped into a space.

'This little pansy fair won't be hardly nothing as long as I defeat my opponent,' Rhett stated as another ball plopped and made a fifth row.

'A fifth row? But what does that mean," Risha thought to herself thinking there were not ten finalists as another ball plopped into place.

'So I am up against brat girl? This should be easy,' Quint thought as he wide-eyed her.

'At least I know who I am facing as well and Rhett won't survive,' Bakyru thought as Seto began his speech up once more.

"There you have it folks. The first four duels will be Kraytn and Mokuba, Risha and Quint, Yugi and Bansieru, Bakyru and Rhett. Though it seems Shino Magami gets the bye! As you all know after the first round of the finals are done there will be one more duel against the first and last duelers. So it will either be Kraytn versus Rhett or Bakyru, or Mokuba versus Rhett or Bakyru. So after that we shall see you for the semi-finals!" Everyone cheered once more as they all geared up for the big day to start and it seemed the duelists were more than anxious.

Episode 23- Green-Eyes White Dragonoid's Revenge: Kaiba vs Kraytn Part 1


"I ask that you all remain calm. The first round of the semi-finals is about to begin," Seto stated as the crowd became quiet and the finalists sat down in a row that surrounded the complete first two corners of the arena.

'After this is over I should have won my Green-Eyes Dark Dragon back. Then we shall show herr Kaiba that the Von Schroder's are stronger,' Kraytn thought as he and Mokuba walked up to the dueling platform.

'I can sense this duel will be tough with Kraytn wanting his dragon back, but with the help of my bro I should make it,' Mokuba thought as Seto went on with the announcement.

"Now we have Mokuba Kaiba dueling the Euro Duel Academy's Lorelit Soldier's Leader Kraytn von Schroder!" Everyone cheered as they both looked at each other with fierce eyes. "Before we begin this duel let everyone know that during the quarter finals you start with 8000 Life Points instead of 4000. Oh and I updated the card limiter to fit some of the newer fusions played during this tournament. So have fun," Seto ended with as he went to take a seat down by Roland and a few other Kaiba Corp employees.

"So what do you think Director Kaiba meant about that addition to the card limiter for fusions," Shino asked his group as Theros began to use his duel disk as a laptop and opened it up to reveal a very hightech device.

"Well as I am looking it up now we are about to find out," Theros began to say as he started typing in some information.

"I just hope that the new additions don't make these last games more difficult," Risha implied.

"DONE!"

"Well tell us what you found," Shino asked him as he shown them the moniter of newly added cards.

Kaiba & Kraytn: "Let's Duel!"

"This prove's which of our families has the better side of things," Kaiba implied as he drew his hand.

"You bet," Kraytn answered with as he did the same. "How about we make this interesting? If I win I get my Shadow Gate Green-Eyes back along with one of your Blue-Eyes?"

"What do I get if I win?"

"My whole deck and my share of Schroder Corp."

"Well then, we got ourselves a deal."

"Good. When you lose Seto's Blue-Eyes he will be furious!"

"Since this is my bro's tournament I'll go first for this one," He drew a new card and looked at his hand. "First I start off by activating the field card Roaring Mountain-Tops." The field was just changed and resembled smoking mountains and each seemed to look more like active volcanoes as fire spewed out of each of them.

"So now all of our Dragon-type monsters get to attack directly as long as your opponent does not have one on their side of the field?"

"You got it. But not only that it allows our Dragon's instant attack when summoned voiding any rules that prohibit it."

"This is getting better and better."

"Don't look now but I summon Mountain Dragon!"

2450/1750

"You cannot summon a monster that strong!"

"Actually Mountain Dragon's effect states that if Roaring Mountain-Tops in play he can be normal summoned without tribute, of course he also has to be the only monster on the field at the time of being summoned."

"Grrr! Just another slobbery beast to take down."

"We shall see. Now attack his Life Points with Roaring Stomp!" As the monster came after Kraytn a giant fence appeared from the ground and blocked the Dragon's attack.

"Chain-Linked Fence makes me block the damage I would have taken for this turn and the next four turns and instead I gain the initial damage as new Life Points."

"Then it looks like I will just have to start stocking up on better monsters."

"That is not the only thing you will need to stock up on herr Kaiba for when this duel is done I shall have regained my Green-eyes! You see this card not only allows me to gain Life Points when attacked but if I have to pay them for any card, I gain those as well."

"I lay down two face-down cards and that does it for me."

"Perfect." 'I just drew my ritual card on the first turn! This will give me true access in these mountains!'

"So what do you think will happen Shino," Wayne asked him.

"I don't know. The way Kraytn is smiling right now it seems like he just drew a card that could take down that Mountain Dragon," Shino replied with as Lynn agreed.

"But not only that. You guys remember what everyone said he did to Joey Wheeler," Lynn asked.

"What did he do?"

"I was there and you would not believe it." The flashback had begun.

"Lunar Dragon and Solar Dragon are now on the field so instead of using their union abilities I will fuse them together which allows me to make a new monster... Legendary Dragon of the Skies!"

3100/2350

"My dragon can fly so high that while your face-down card remains on the field, or any others, he can attack you directly. Not to mention I have to destroy all other monsters on my side of the field when he is fusion summoned. Goodbye my Lord," He is destroyed as Legendary Dragon of the Skies attack Joey directly as the flashback ends.

"Oh man! If he pulls that off...," Shino began to think.

"This next move will begin my onslaught," Kraytn shouted as Kaiba got as frightened look onto his face. "I activate Graceful Giving," Kraytn stated as two Angel Token's were summoned to the field.

"Those things only have 500 attack and defense. What kind of game are we playing?"

"This kind! I tribute both of my Angel Token's to summon Devion Dragon Tank!" As it appeared onto the field we see how similar it looks to a Jetroid but with a huge cannon on the top of it and was painted orange, not to mention the evilish grin on its face.

2450/2400

"This dragon comes with all of his own accessories. I can pay 3000 Life Points to destroy up to two monsters on your field."

"Giving up that many Life Points should be a crime."

"Don't forget my Chain-Linked Fence makes me gain those 3000 instead of taking them away. So I gain 3000 Life Points to destroy your Mountain Dragon! The end is here herr Kaiba and you cannot stop what I shall do next for your Life Points are wide opened!" Kraytn began to laugh as we see Kaiba sweat and in his hand is nothing but a Polymerization and Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

'No matter what happens I cannot allow him to defeat me in front of Seto and take away one of his precious Blues-Eyes White Dragons!'

[SebastiaanZ]

Jay the duel between Kaiba and Kraytn has begun. I wish them both good luck. Anyway very interesting cards. Nicely written duel. Really, more people should read this and reply to it, this fic is worth the read. I'll be checking your packs in the CAC forum soon too.

[MetalPharoah]

Episode 24- Green-Eyes White Dragonoid's Revenge Part 2


"This is just too much for you, right herr Kaiba?"

"Don't count on it Kraytn because your dragon's effect forces you to skip your battle phase."

"You really are getting forgetful aren't you?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Roaring Mountain-Tops forces my dragon to attack since you have no other monsters on your field that are dragons!"

"Oh no, I did forget about that. Forgive me Seto," Kaiba murmured as Kraytn announced his attack.

'Don't worry Mokuba. I bet you will take him down soon enough with what I see in your hand,' Seto had thought.

"Now Devion Dragon Tank attack herr Kaiba with Tank Missile!" As the missile came after Kaiba he activated his trap as it immediately blew up. "Why did it not go through? WHAT!? A trap card?"

"Negate Attack not only blocks your attack but it ends your battle phase. Just like my brother I am one step ahead of my opponent."

"Ahh, that old analogy. Didn't your brother say that to my grandfather? Oh well, I have what I want so you may go. But beware if you summon any monsters my Tank will just take them out next turn."

'That is what I am afraid of. The true reason I entered this tournament was to be good and become better at dueling. Now that with him watching my duels I just don't feel like I can do my best. I need help and only the heart of the cards can guide me through it. Just like what Yugi had taught us all those years ago,' Kaiba thought to himself as he drew a new card. "THAT IS WHAT I WANTED," He shouted with a great big mouth-opened smile on his face.

"What did you draw? A miracle?"

"Precisely that!"

'His attitude just changed! How can this be?'

"Swords of Revealing Light!"

"But I thought Roaring Mountain-Tops negates all rules of the game?"

"It does, but when my Sword's is on the field it does not change the rules it changes the field," Suddenly three swords came down around Devion Dragon Tank and Kraytn. "Now my Life Points are safe for the remaining three turns of your Chain-Linked Fence's effect. So no one will be taking any damage."

"Way to pull the game around Mokuba," Seto stated to him as Mokuba looked at him and smiled.

"Thanks bro. Now I give it back to you Kraytn."

"FINE!" 'With those Swords I cannot do anything. How will this work?'

"Getting tired? You look like you could take a nap."

"Don't even get me started herr Kaiba! FOR MY NEXT MOVE WILL BLOW YOU AWAY! Let me introduce you to Valkyrie Rosetta!"

1600/200

"Her special ability allows me to pay 1500 Life Points to special summon another Valkyrie from my deck, but then again I do not have to pay anything. Just gain it, right?" He picked a monster from his deck and summoned Valkyrie Brunhilde.

2400/2000

"Now since she is such a hefty customer I use Dragonic Attack," Then Brunhilde transformed into a dragon.

"What happened?"

"You like herr Kaiba? Now Brunhilde is treated like a dragon-type monster and she even gains 500 defense. But there is more! I activate Lair Of Sleeping Dragon's. This raises all of my dragon's defense by 500. And now I switch Devian in defense mode. That does it for me."

"Fine," Kaiba shouted as he drew. 'Not going to help.' "I end my turn."

"That is the way to being defeated. I thought this match would be a lot better since you have my Shadow Gate Card. Looks like I was all wrong. Now where was I? Oh yes, I was going to pass my turn since your Swords were blocking me from attacking."

'If this keeps going up the duel will never end,' Seto thought as Mokuba passed again.

"Now as soon as I end my turn your Swords of Revealing Light is gone. And that will be exactly what I am doing."

"Now the real game is on! You see all I was waiting for was one card. And now that I have it your Tank will not be able to stop me."

"The only way around him is to summon more than two monsters this turn."

"You should read between the lines. Now I place a card face-down and summon Kaibaman so this way I can sacrifice him to special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

3000/2500

"Blue-Eyes attack Kraytn directly with White Lightning!"

"EWWWOOOOOOOOUUUUU!"

"That does it for me."

"You wasted a great move like that on your own expense for I will just use my Devion Dragon Tank to take it out soon enough. So let me draw and use my Tan--"

"That is where you are wrong. Reveal face-down card, Burst Breath!"

"Uhhhh!!"

"I tribute my Blue-Eyes White Dragon to destroy all monsters on your side of the field that has 3000 or less defense."

"NOOO!!!" All three monsters were immediately destroyed. "My beautiful women!"

"You thought you had me Kraytn but like my brother I had it out in the end."

"Not as long as I still have a summoning left. You may have gotten rid of my other monsters and a few measly Life Points but I'll show you herr Kaiba. I play Polymerization to fuse together my Lunar and Solar Dragon's in my hand to bring together Legendary Dragon of the Skies!!"

3100/2850

"This is it for you. Legendary Dragon attack herr Kaiba directly with Booster Missiles!"

"I activate another face-down card Genesis Revival to bring back Blue-Eyes!"

"It does not matter for my Dragon can attack you directly when you have face-down spell or trap cards when I call for his initial attack."

"AHHHH!!!"

"I won't allow you to be the victor!"

"Now isn't my dragon vonderful?"

"It won't stand up much longer."

"Are you sure about that herr Kaiba? For you see your Blue-Eyes is no match."

"It will be."

"You may go then and show me just how big and strong you really are," Kraytn replied as Kaiba drew his card.

"Its time I add a bit of trouble your way."

"Huh? How?"

"You see when my brother said he fixed the card limiter to fit new fusions he not only added them but he allowed me to use this!"

"Polymerization? I do not understand."

"This card might spark some memories."

"SHADOW GATE GREEN-EYES DARK DRAGON! But that is not even part of a fusion!"

"My bro made it one... And now I fuse together my Blue-Eyes White Dragon with the Green-Eyes Dark Dragon for Green-Eyes White Dragonoid!"

4800/3200

"The Kaiba comeback has just begun. To add insult to injury I equip my new Dragonoid with Talon. This raises his strength by 600. Now I use the last card in my hand, Eliminating Twins," Kaiba held it up for Kraytn as we see the two Gemini Elf twins going after each other with axes.

"Explain that card to me."

"Gladly. Next turn you must attack with every monster on your side of the field, and for each monster that attacked, you lose 500 Life Points."

"Hmph. I'll survive," Kraytn parts his hair to the side.

"Your move." 'Kraytn is being extremely calm. Especially since due to Seto's help I was able to bring forth the Dragonoid.'

"Looks like fate has been good to me for I drew a card that will change how your monster takes me down."

"That is impossible, you lie!"

"Do I? I play Final Light! By just paying 1000 of my own Life Points I can special summon a Valkyrie back from the grave, but you get to summon a monster with 2000 attack or less as well."

2400/2000

"I dont feel like it."

"Fairly well, but what a great monster I brought back and her effect isn't too shabby either."

"She'll still be destroyed once she attacks."

"We shall see. Go Legendary Dragon!"

"Since he has to attack my Green-Eyes White Dragonoid allow my dragon to introduce him to the graveyard along with 2800 of your Life Points."

"Eh. I can live without them. Now Valkyrie Brunhilda attack!"

"Like catapulting a steel wall."

"Not exactly For her special ability allows me to decrease her defense by 1000 to save her from any harm."

"YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT!"

"I thought you knew from the duel with your brother and my grandfather long ago? I guess you did forget. Next I use A Feather Of The Phoenix to discard a card from my hand and put a spell card on top of my deck from the graveyard."

"Your turn is over," Kaiba stated as hew drew. "Since Brunhilde is a warrior I get to attack you directly. Green Lightning Charge!"

"EHH! That hurt a little but I am still here."

"Not for long."

"My go and since you know what it is, why not play it again? Dragonic Attack! Since my Brunhilde is now treated as a dragon once more Lair Of Sleeping Dragons raises her defense along with Dragonic Attack to 3000! Now I switch her to defense mode."

"Whoa! With a monster like that Head Master now has to attack it three times before Life Points are even touched," Risha exclaimed as Wayne bugged out.

"So you mean that Kraytn might just turn this around," Wayne asked.

"I'm not sure. But that wall he has created will keep his life points intact."

"Card of Sanctity allows us both to draw until we have six cards in our vands." 'These vill do nicely.'

"My dragon is too strong and as soon as it attacks a monster his effect will activate destroying your Lair."

"I doubt that. Because you see, that effect only works if he destroys a monster as a result of battle. It is the Green-Eyes Dark Dragon itself that destroys all spell and trap cards when it attacks."

"Errr!!!"

"Better luck next time. All I will do is lay down a face-down and end zis turn."

"Good. Now I play the spell card Hyper Boost, giving my Dragonoid another 1200 attack increase."

6600/3200

"Next I activate White Dragon Ritual to give up a monster in my hand to special summon Paladin of White Dragon."

1900/1200

"Then I shall place a card face-down and have my Green-Eyes White Dragonoid attack your Brunhilde."

"I decrease her attack by 1000 to save her from death."

"She only has 1000 attack left. When my monster attacks next turn she will be defeated and the rest of your Life Points will mean nothing."

"That is still up for debate, but this is not. I play a beauty of my own, Wildefire Ritual. I offer Valkyrie Erste and Dritte from my hand to summon Wildfire Dragon!"

2950/2950

"To finally turn this game around once again I equip your White Dragonoid with the Flammable Ooze spell. Now when my Wildfire Dragon attacks your Dragonoid, his attack will double."

"But Dragonoid will still have enough attack left."

"Not when I play Mystical Space Typhoon on your Hyper Boost! Now attack with Wildfire Torch!"

Episode 26- Green-Eyes White Dragonoid's Revenge Part 4


"Dark Spirit Of The Silent allows me to switch your attack to my Paladin," Kaiba said as his Life Points dropped a little.

"You should have used Paladin's ability last turn and then my Wildfire Dragon would have been destroyed. Oh well. I throw down a face-down and end."

"This is where your Brunhilde loses her last remaining defense. I summon Technic Bird. For the price of such high attack it can only remain on the field for this turn. Now attack Brunhilde with Wind Chaser!"

"Her defense is lowered again."

"Now Dragonoid attack Brunhilde with Green Lightning Charge! Thats her swan song."

"Not to be rude, but with my Lair and Dragonic Attack combo, she has 1000 defense points no matter what you do."

"OH NO!"

"That is right. She is basically unstoppable!"

"One face-down card and now I have to end my turn so Technic Bird is destroyed."

"I can't believe how Kraytn just pulled that off," Wayne said.

"It was like nothing," Shino answered.

"If you guys remember he is the leader of the Lorelit Soldier's. And with them in the tournament we must also be careful," Risha implied.

"I can take down Kraytn anytime," Theros suggested as the duel continued.

"My face-down card says that your Dragon is about to take a ride into oblivion. First I have Wildfire Dragon attack your monsters! Wildfire Torch!"

"The card I laid face-down was De-Fusion," Kaiba yelled as Green-Eyes White Dragonoid became Green-Eyes Dark Dragon and Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"I was wondering if you would have done that, so reveal my face-down Enemy Controller. By giving up 1000 of my Life Points I can take control of my Shadow Gate Green-Eyes Dark Dragon. He is back on the field where he belongs. Attack Blue-Eyes with Green Thunder!" As Kaiba's monster was destroyed so was Roaring Mountain-Tops.

"But as soon as you end your turn he is mine again."

"Have you forgotten my Valkyrie Brunhilde? With your Life Points so low she now will take you down!"

"You allowed me to use a Chain-Link!"

"That is showing him Head Master," Lynn shouted out as Seto looked at her.

'Mokuba deserves this attention for a change, not to mention students that care for him. Creating Duel Academy across the globe was a great idea in itself,' Seto thought as Mokuba played his chain-link.

"Falcon Boots doesn't stop your attack."

"Then why play it?"

"Because I get to gain 2000 Life Points before it goes through."

"Still in the game I see. WELL NOT FOR LONG! Next turn you'll be taken down by the great Kraytn von Schroder," He replied ending his turn.

"With Green-Eyes back I can now destroy your weak monsters with Green Thunder!" As the green thunder went to strike Wildfire Dragon he switched to defense mode.

"Heh heh heh.. what an amateurish move!!!"

"That cannot be."

"My Wildfire Dragon's special ability is when he is attacked by a dragon-type monster he automatically goes into defense mode. Life Points gone? I think not."

"But Green-Eyes still wipes out your spell and trap cards!"

"So Brunhilde has no defense left? Why would that matter when I am about to win it all? Green-Eyes will be mine again and you'll have been eliminated from this tournament thanks to my grandfather's Valkyries and my dragon's. Lets not forget to thank my father as well, for the card I just drew was his little gift to me and the end of your dragon has come! I play Valkyrie's Embrace. This switches my Brunhilde to defense mode and destroys one monster on your side of the field."

"GREEN-EYES!"

"Now I tribute my monster for the card my father had given me. Lets introduce the legendary Dark Dragon! Like in Sleeping Beauty his magic is just as powerful."

2600/1700

"Attack herr Kaiba with Dark Flames Of Rapture!"

"AHHHHHH!!!" Kaiba flew a few feet away as he was hit and his Life Points dropped to zero.

"You lose."

'I cannot believe it!' "Due to the spectacular duel you have just witnessed Kraytn von Schroder is the winner," Seto announced as he helped his brother up.

"Are you mad at me Seto?"

"Of course. You lost my Blue-Eyes Mokuba. So I guess it doesn't matter since Yugi's grandpa gave me their Blue-Eyes to give to you in the first place."

"But it didn't look torn apart."

"I had a little help from an old friend. But you tried your best and it will take more years to get as good as me."

"Thanks Seto," Mokuba stated as he hugged Seto. Just then Shadow Gate Green-Eyes Dark Dragon flew from Mokuba's graveyard and into Kraytn's hand.

"Now with my monster back this tournament is mine."

"I cannot believe he defeated Head Master," Theros exclaimed as the others talked about it.

"If he could do that then imagine what he could do to your Shadow Gate Shino," Lynn stated.

"I don't sweat it. Sword Destroyer Anhia's special ability would have defeated Kraytn long before now since his special effect would've decreased his Life Points by that much," Shino told everyone as they all laughed.

"So who duels next," Risha asked as she noticed on the screen.

"Looks like it's you Risha," Wayne stated the obvious.

"And I get to battle Quint."

"Please, for me, show that jerk what happens when he betrays so many people," Lynn asked her as she agreed.

"This is the day he won't forget."

"Now everyone the next duel will take place in the Inaba-White Rabbit Room Of Spirits," Roland announced as they all looked at the opening door. "Get some rest and tomorrow the duel will commence!"

"I believe that we have seen enough of your rude behavior," Risha implied to Quint as he laughed while they were setting up in the Inaba-White Rabbit Room of Spirits.

"I want ultimate power, and to show master Kraytn how valuable I am. In order to do so I must take out trash duelists like you," Quint replied with as a screen appeared outside of the room where everyone was watching the duel at.

"Now get ready as the second match of the finals begins," Roland announced as everyone cheered as usual and then got silent.

RISHA & QUINT: "Let's Duel!"

'I won't lose my Shadow Gate Card to this clown, and to get Wayne's back I must show this guy what I am made of,' Risha thought going first and drawing. "Now to get things flowing!" She held the card in her hand and looked at it slowly reading, then giggling.

"Are you just going to make faces girly?"

"Here goes! I summon Great Angus in attack mode and place one card face-down."

1800/600

"Show me what you've got."

'If Risha plays like that then this duel is in the bag!' "One card face-down. Next I call out Monk of the Holy Light."

1850/350

"Monk attack Great Angus with Majestic Fist!" Risha's monster was destroy as she covered her eyes from the bright attack.

"Things look to be shining my way. First I discard a card from my hand to activate Lightning Vortex!"

"My Monk!" He shouts as it gets hit by lightning.

"This time I am not going easy on you and summoning Battle Ox! Then activate Wild Nature's Release. Now attack him directly!"

"Owwww!!"

"Finally I end my turn."

"I believe I've been going soft on you," He draws, "Time to start over hardcore!"

"My boots are shaking!"

"You will be.... WHEN I SUMMON THIS! I activate the ritual spell card Magic Heaven Beacon! By releasng three monsters from my hand I can Ritual Summon and free..."

2400/3150

"Maiden of Heaven's Light! Do you like her my dear?"

"Anything you conjure I despise."

"Be that way. But soon you will lose and I shall become number one to Kraytn von Schroder!"

"In your dreams."

"Errrr!!! Maiden attack Risha directly! Blazing Halo!"

"I activate my face-down card, Scapegoat!"

"You think so? Reveal trap card, Plasma Sphere. While this card is face-up on the field no player may activate quick-play cards. So sorry but it appears my Maiden's attack goes through," He states as she attacks Risha as her halo goes spinning after her. "Since she has done Life Point damage my her attack increases by 500! Your move."

'This isn't going the way I planned.' "I set a monster face-down and lay down a face-down."

"That is all? Maiden Of Heaven's Light is getting stronger and soon she shall defeat you completely. I equip her with Cestus of Dagla."

3400/3150

"Risha is going to be smashed by that flying freak if she does not find a way to take it down soon," Shino said as Quint called out his attack.

"Flip effect activate! Horn Hunter destroys all monsters on the field that has an equip card attached to them."

"But now your Hunter is gone as well."

"I would not think so quickly if I were you. My trap card Safe Gravity allows any of my monsters to not be destroyed in battle for this turn."

"Then I am forced to end my turn."

"I play the card I just drew, Pot of Greed. Now I can draw two new cards from my deck," She draws as Quint gets an angering look onto his face.

'Enjoy it while it lasts.'

"Luck seems to be with me as I use Polymerization to fuse Horn Hunter with the Mantle Entity to create Great Impaler."

2500/2300

"Now due to Mantle Entity's effect you can special summon a level seven or lower monster from your graveyard to the field in defense mode."

"I choose my Agido."

1500/1300

"Great Impaler attack Agido."

"You helped me save my Life Points."

"Look again." Quint noticed he took quite a bit of damage.

"How did you do that?"

"When Great Impaler attacks a monster in defense mode and its defense is lower than his attack the damage is done to you directly, but not before its doubled. It seems I have brought myself back from the dead. Ready to go face to face?"

"Your beast is not the only one with a special effect. When Agido is sent to the graveyard as a result of battle I get to roll a dice."

"What does this roll accomplish?"

"I get to summon a monster from my graveyard equal to the result! Now go," Quint orders as the dice falls down and rolls around before landing on its mark. "Since my roll landed on a six I am allowed to bring back Maiden Of Heaven's Light in attack mode."

"Your move."

"Glad to take it. For you see now I get to draw and if it is the card I need you will be done for. Then your Shadow Gate Card will belong to the Lorelit Soldier's! The angels have been good to me for now I activate the field spell known as Sanctuary Of The Sky," They suddenly seem to be standing on clouds as a sanctuary was behind Quint.

"So this helps your monsters somehow?"

"Yes, for now when they are destroyed in battle I take no damage. You are about to meet your maker and GIVE OVER YOUR CARD!!! HAHAHAHA!!! With my Sanctuary you won't even be allowed to deal damage to me during battle. All I need is to always have a monster on the field, and with my Maiden I assure you that it will be happening!"

"In case you haven't already noticed my Great Impaler is stronger."

"That is why I switch her to defense mode. Next turn you shall see my wrath!"

"Whatever." 'This won't do anything special right now.' "I pass."

"Very wise girl. Ready to give in?"

"You wish."

"Hmph! Where was I? Oh yes, I was about to reveal my Sanctuary's special power."

"How? By going in there and shutting yourself up?"

"Heh heh heh.... You wish. I summon The Agent Of Wisdom Mercury."

0/1700

"He won't do much for you."

"We shall see when your turn comes." 'And when it does the advantage comes straight back to me!'

"Looks like it already has." 'The one card I had been hoping to get! But I cannot even summon him without a 7 star beast-type on the field,' Risha thought looking at her newly drawn card.

"Why the sad face?"

"I was just thinking how lame you were because now I attack Mercury! Does 2500 damage count as anything?"

"You forget my Sanctuary doesn't allow me to take damage when you attack a Fairy. BUT THAT DOES NOT EXCLUDE THE EFFECT OF MY MAIDEN!"

"She has an effect?"

"That is correct and if you did not notice Mercury was in defense mode, and my Maiden raises his attack and defense."

"I TAKE DAMAGE INSTEAD!!"

"Feel worried now?"

"Not really. I end my turn by placing a card face-down."

"MY TURN AT LAST! Due to Mercury's effect since I did not have any cards in my hand during my last End Phase I get to draw two this turn," He draws as Risha seems anxious.

'I wish I could have had a lucky break like that. If I cannot get my Shadow Gate Behemoth out I might just lose after all.'

"I throw down a face-down and then summon The Agent Of Creation Venus!"

2600/1000

"I just love my Maiden's high defensive powers."

'That might just be the break I was looking for after all!' "Your defensive manuever's won't work when I destroy her for being in defense."

"Come on already. I am going to win and you know it Risha. Now I can finally take down your only monster so I---" 'Wait! If I switch Maiden Of Heaven's Light back to attack that could be what she WANTS me to do.' "I use Venus' ability to pay 500 Life Points to summon a Mystical Shine Ball."

1500/1500

"Now attack Great Impaler my Venus!"

"Sorry but I'm going to activate the trap card Beastly Overature! My weakest monster is destroyed but I get to special summon a monster in its place from my hand. I choose to bring forth THIS!!"

"HOW!?"

"Perfectly explainable. You see I get to special summon any STRONG monster from my hand and now you meet Shadow Gate Behemoth Master Of All Beasts!"

2700/1000

"Any last words?"

"I end my turn."

"Good, for now I remove Beastly Overature from the graveyard to destroy your Mystical Shine Ball!"

"This game is about to end for now I can use the last line of defense. Reveal trap... Mystical Shine Destination!"

"What are three Mystical Shine Ball's doing on your field?"

"When all three of them are in the graveyard I get to special summon them all back to the field."

"So you have three puny balls of light."

"Not any balls of light. My trap card also allows their master, Venus, to use them as special defense counters whenever you attack any of my monsters."

"So they are not allowed to be attacked?"

"You're finally catching on! They are not even treated as monsters anymore. Now go on with your turn."

"Fine! Since my Behemoth was brought out without sacrificing a monster his effect was delayed a turn."

"Delayed? What are you a time freak now?"

"Don't you say a word for I get to summon a beast from my hand, deck, and graveyard!"

"EHHH!!!"

I summon Behemoth The King Of All Animals from my deck, Great Impaler from my graveyard, and Chiron The Mage from my hand!"

2700/1000
2500/2300
1800/1000

"Now since your wicked Sanctuary doesn't allow damage to go through during a battle with a Fairy-type monster I won't increase my Shadow Gate Behemoth's strength by using his third ability. Instead I shall attack your Venus! Since she is the holder of the balls they won't matter!"

"Think again. Now Venus use your Mystical Shine Defense Ball," We see her grab a Mystical Shine Ball and use it to block Shadow Gate Behemoth's attack and it blows up in a great shining light.

"You only have two left now."

"But you are out of good monsters."

"Behemoth King has enough strength to go after her!"

"Mystical Shine Defense Ball!"

"We could go on all night. But instead I now end my turn."

"Since I have no cards I use Mercury's ability again to draw another two." 'These will work better than planned.' "I throw down a face-down and then have my Venus attack your Great Impaler again!"

"Ehhhhh..."

"Now who is in the world of hurt? For soon your monsters will be nothing but dust! This ends my turn."

"Just one attack? Pitiful. Now I use Chiron's ability to discard this spell card from my hand to destroy your Sanctuary!"

"NO! NOT MY BEAUTIFUL THRONE!" Everything went back to normal in the room.

"Now I have Behemoth Master attack Venus again!"

"MYSTICAL SHINE DEFENSE BALL!"

"Since that was your last lets see what happens when Behemoth King destroys it!"

"NOT HER TOO!!"

"Since your other monsters are too strong I allow you to go."

"You won't get away with this," He looks at the card he drew. "Now the end of this duel has come. I summon Freed the Brave Wanderer!"

1700/1000

"Using his ability I remove two Shine Ball's to destroy your Behemoth Master!"

"You did well my fighter."

"Next I activate Maiden's special effect to allow Freed to gain 1000 more attack and switch the Maiden herself into attack mode. Now Freed take down the remaining Behemoth along with yourself!"

"Owww!!"

"This is it for now I pull off the ultimate combo in my deck. Maiden attack Chiron now! Since you are defenseless I activate the trap card I laid face-down last turn. Light Introspection grants any of my light monsters that attack this turn the chance to attack again if my opponent has no cards on their field or hand. Now attack again Maiden and you attack twice Mercury!"

"NOOO!!"

"Since you have less Life Points than I when Mercury attacks his attack increases and it takes you out!" Risha's Shadow Gate Card flew from out of her graveyard and into Quint's hand. "Another Shadow Gate for my collection."

Episode 29- Dark Game Part 1


"Welcome to another grand day at the new Kaiba Land Of Europe," Seto announced as we see Yugi and Bansieru on a strange platform that seemed to be connected to a railway of some sort. "This is the next match for the finals between The King of Games himself, Yugi Muto," As soon as he said that the crowd applauded, "Versus the Amazoness Queen, Bansieru! The two finalists will now be strolled off into the Room based on Yugi's deck," Seto finished with as the two disappeared into a dark corridor as the wall closed up. 'You better not lose your title again Yugi.'

"Finally that weird woman will be defeated," Theros said as everyone laughed in agreement. Now in the room based on Yugi's magician's it seems that both of them have their duel disks ready.

"Soon you'll have been taken care of and then I will win this tournament," Bansieru implied.

"The heart of the cards guide me this day so your evil presence I feel will not triumph," Yugi replied with.

"Errr..."

"What sinister plans do you have for this tournament?"

"Don't you just know how to flatter a girl. I only wish to take over the world as my rightful place Yugi."

"Why do you want this world anyway?"

"Unlike some people I do not want to destroy, conquer, or even obliterate it. I myself would like to bring this World into one with the Shadow Realm as a whole new dimension. That way I may be queen and everyone will be my loyal subjects."

"I won't allow that to happen."

"You have no choice for without the Pharaoh you are nothing! Then, when you lose, instead of gaining a Shadow Gate Card I will have the title Queen of Games!"

'I cannot allow someone like her to triumph.'

"Soon Yugi I will have what I want and the Shadow World will be awakened."

Bansieru & Yugi: "Let's Duel!"

"Homefield advantage allows you to go first," Bansieru stated as they both drew after activating their disks.

'These cards have all of my heart built right into them. First I must figure out what her deck contains before forming a strategy.'

"I hope Yugi doesn't lose," Wayne said back in the Kaiba Dome.

"The only time I have ever seen Yugi lose was when I defeated him," Shino answered.

"WHAT!? Yugi lost to YOU!?"

"Calm done Risha. You know talented Yugi is. I am certain he wouldn't allow Bansieru to win," Bakyru muttered.

"Plus, I am his apprentice. It was bound for me to win sometime."

"Let's just hope it doesn't happen again."

"I call forth my Queen's Knight in attack mode."

1500/1600

"You are going to waste time using those golden oldies."

"As long as I believe in the heart of the cards nothing will fail me. So I set a card and end my turn."

"If that is all you can do then this game is mine. I begin by activating the field spell card Amazoness Boxing Ring," The field turned into a dark boxing ring surrounding the two duelists.

"Explain what this does!"

"Of course little Yugi. When I play this field card we both gain 600 Life Points. Afterwards whenever one of us loses Life Points due to battle or destroys a monster in battle we can use my Boxing Ring's ability. All you have to do is pay 100 Life Points and make me take 100, then I can do the same to you since its considering us as the monsters."

'An interesting twist.'

"But I am far from done. So now I use the Shadow Blade to release a few shadows to call forth the dreaded Shadow Realm!" Suddenly a few dark spirits flew out of the sword she was holding up and Yugi noticed he was in the Shadow Realm. "I've been told how this place keeps welcoming you with open arms year after year. So you must feel at home, right?"

"I have played in the Shadow Realm before with many others. I am sure--" Just then he felt a little queazy.

"What is the matter Yugi? Can't hold your own?"

"I will be fine. Just go on with your turn," He replied trying to catch his breath.

"Now I place two face-down cards and summon Sierra Wisdom-Seeker in defense mode."

1/1

'Why would she summon a monster so weak?'

"Your move Yugi."

"Alright," He seemed to have regained his strength and picked up his card. "Before I go any further I want to know why you are here."

"Why the sudden interest?"

"If you have conjured up the Shadow Realm I am sure you mean no good for this tournament."

"You are right Yugi," She answered with as everyone watching the duel from the dome gasped. Bansieru suddenly made one of the cameras close-up on her. "Let met explain. When time began I was created to substain balance in the darkness known as the Shadow Realm, hence my title, Keeper Of The Realm. With that I dreaded being there. I wanted to be like everyone else and just have a normal existence. But then people started entering it from the beginning of Shadow Games. With this I had no choice but to use my Shadow Blade which I was given to contain the dark side of spirits which wandered in. Instead I took their shadows and used them for my own purpose. Before I knew it, I had enough, and now here I am. All I ever wanted was to be like you humans, but all I ever received was dark emptiness."

"Don't you understand that if you go on like this you'll destroy everything? You cannot stop guarding this realm or else there will be no balance!"

"That balance is no more! After I win your title and become Queen of Games I won't be just nothing anymore. Then I will win this whole tournament, gain the seven Shadow Gate Cards which is all I need to fuse the Shadow Realm with this world and create an ultimate Shadow World. All where I will rule. You may have your lives but I want to be someone at last! After the Creator of this world had made me Keeper, seven spiritual beings were made to make sure both worlds would not mix or create an unbalance. For whosoever controls all seven Shadow Gate Monster's can form the worlds together."

[SebastiaanZ]

Nice chapter again, MetalPharaoh. I like the title Queen of Games. Who would it be in real life? Anyway I will be back for Dark Game (2).

[MetalPharoah]

Episode 30- Dark Game Part 2




"Your goal here is to plunge our world into shadow?"

"Yes, isn't that beautiful?"

"I think your crazy! Look what happened to everyone else who thought as you did. They have been defeated and I will do the same to you by my very hands!"

"Then lets see for it is your turn!"

"Unlike deviates like you the Heart of the Cards guide me and my deck! Now I summon King's Knight and when both my Queen's and King's Knight are on the field I get to special summon Jack's Knight," Jack's Knight is then slapped from Yugi's deck to the field as all three stand tall.

1600/1400
1900/1000

"You will have to do better than that."

"Oh, I will. Jack's Knight attack Sierra Wisdom-Seeker!"

"Reveal Call Of The Amazons so that I may special summon Amazoness Jungle-Queen to the field."

0/0

"And now she gains 1000 attack points for each monster on your side of the field. Now I will reveal my other trap card, Amazon Stasis! This forces my Sierra to not be allowed to participate in battle for this turn."

"If I do attack then its your Amazoness I have to go for."

"I'm pretty confident in her power, after all, it is 3000."

"With what you explained about your Boxing Ring I believe it's time for a little test drive. King's Knight attack!"

"You do know he is going straight for my Jungle-Queen?"

"That is precisely what I wanted."

"WHAT!?" Bansieru screams as the King is hit back by Amazoness Jungle-Queen.

"Since I am the one who took damage I pay 100 Life Points to attack you," Yugi stated as he appeared on the field in spirit along with Bansieru. He punched her first and then she did it to him.

"It works both ways. I paid 100 of my own Life Points to take away another bit of yours."

"But I am not even done with my turn yet. Now Queen's Knight, attack her Jungle-Queen!"

"What are you doing to yourself!?"

"Now since she was destroyed I use the Amazoness Arena again."

"As so do I," She replied as they punched one another once more. "You see it was pointless to attack her. You caused yourself more pain than I have taken."

"Take another look," Yugi said as he sent Jack's Knight after Jungle-Queen."

"NO! She is destroyed!"

"Since her attack was based off of how many monsters I hadm with my two Knight's gone, your Jungle-Queen has become withered enough for my Jack's Knight to handle."

"I use Amazoness Arena's effect." They did battle again as Yugi's Life Points went down to 6200 while Bansieru was at 7100.

"That does it for me."

"Good," She yelled drawing. "Now I finish what I began by summoning Dexwil Wisdom-Lover and just like your Knight's when these two are on the field I can special summon Puc Wisdom-Keeper."

2/2
0/0

"Their attacks may be something to laugh about but you soon will find it hard to get past them. Now I activate Terraforming. So with that I get rid of my Amazoness Arena to play Library Of Wisdom," The field changed to a library with books filling every corner just as they had when she first played it facing the Rogue Group.

"Yugi is in trouble," Lynn implied as the others remember when she played these four cards before in a flashback.

"First off since my Geek Rider was sent to the graveyard and returned I am allowed to sacrifice him for Nerd Rider."

2550/1850

"And then if I can get you to destroy this new monster I am allowed to immediately summon another monster from my hand. So lets see if I am gonna be lucky. Riding Bowgun!"

"It looks like you are correct for when my Library is on the field along with my three wisdom-type creatures monsters of higher attack are instantly destroyed if they choose Puc, Sierra, or Dexwil as one of their attacks." And the flashback ended.

"Since he cannot attack with anything unless their attacks are equal Yugi won't be able to get past them," Wayne implied.

"Not true," Shino said.

"What do you mean?"

"If I know Yugi he has something else that can get rid of them. Remember, he is the King of Games."

"You do have a point," Risha replied with as they went back to watching the duel.

"How does it feel to be on the short end of the stick Yugi?"

"I never give up and have come out of far harder duels than this."

"Eager to still win? Well that will change during my next turn."

"ALRIGHT," He drew his card and hoped for the best. "I activate my face-down spell card Genesis Revival along with the Monster Reborn in my hand to bring back Queen and King's Knight."

"Those fools already have been defeated!"

"They deserve another try."

'Then attack me if you dare but when you do they will be removed from the game.'

"Now I play Royal Straight! When my three Knight's are on the field I can sacrifice all of them to summon Royal Straight Slasher!"

2400/1350

"Now I invoke his ability to tribute from my deck Watapon, Waboku Shaman, Magician Of Faith, Skilled Dark Magician, and Catapult Turtle. Now destroy every card on her field with Royal Slash!"

"My beautiful Wisdom Cards!!" Bansieru yells out as all four of them were destroyed and the room went back to normal with the magician surroundings.

"It's a whole new ball game."

Episode 31- Dark Game Part 3

"Since my Royal Straight Slasher used his ability he cannot attack this turn I must end my turn."

"How very noble of you. With everything gone I don't know if I can let you stand there grinning! I place a card face-down and summon Amazoness Broad Blader!"

1800/1100

"This will teach you to mess with me for when she is summoned I get to equip her with an equipment card from my deck. I select Amazon Chain. I believe she is just as powerful as your creature now. Luckily, Amazon Chain ends my turn when played."

"Then its all up to me. Since both of our monsters have the same attack I will place one card face-down."

"If that is all you can do then it is quite sad for my Amazon Chain automatically allows me to special summon an Amazoness Chain Master from my deck!"

1500/1300

"Now allow me to bring forth Amazoness Tiger to the field."

1100/1500

"Now she gains 400 more attack strength for each Amazoness on the field."

2300/1500

"I turn it over to you now, King."

'She must be biding her time to set up a strategy. I must be wary and make sure that the heart of the cards does not steer me wrong.' "I play Allied Forces to give my Slasher more strength. Then I activate Dark Magic Curtain to special summon Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl to the field."

"That costs you to decrease your Life Points by half twice!"

"While that may be true I am going to force your hand into dueling with this card. Want to see the backup plan?"

"Which is?"

"To sacrifice both of them and special summon Sorceror Of Dark Magic!!"

3200/2800

"Now attack her Tiger with Celestial Blast!!"

"I use Amazon Jungle! Not only does this raise my Amazoness' by 200 attack and defense each but now you can only attack 1 Amazoness a turn."

"But thats a spell card!"

"True but its special effect allows me to activate even during my opponents battle phase," Her Tiger was destroyed as her turn began. "Now with Amazon Chain I get to multiply my army with another Amazoness Chain Master," Then she appeared as Bansieru looked at the card in her hand as it shined. 'It is time to take this old dog down with some new tricks.' "It looks like you are going to lose Yugi for I drew the card in my deck that can strike you down."

"What do you mean?"

"Remember when Seto Kaiba began his rambling speech about Shadow Gate cards? Well I just drew mine!"

"Oh no."

"That is right. All I have to do is release my Amazoness Chain Masters's to summon forth... SHADOW GATE BLASTERON!"

2900/2000

"When Blasteron is summoned to the field everyone of your monsters loses 500 attack strength. Now Blasteron attack with your Omega Flare and make his Sorceror of Dark Magic obsolete," Suddenly a giant ball of lightning and huge clashes of thunder went through Sorceror of Dark Magic as his attack was lowered to 2600 and the huge red ball of lightning got bigger and came back towards the Sorceror and then it hit him and he was disintengrated as the blast vanished.

"No!!"

"You have no more ways to hide. So now Amazoness Broad Blader attack Royal Straight Slasher!"

"REVEAL FACE-DOWN CARD! DARK RENEWAL! I can choose a monster on both sides of the field and sacrifice them to bring back a spellcaster from my graveyard. So I choose your Blasteron and my Royal Straight Slasher."

"I am sorry but Blasteron's Thunder Shield prevents him from being sacrificed by the effect of trap cards."

"Then your Broad Blader goes," They both disappeared as Sorceror of Dark Magic returned to the field. "Say hello to an old friend of mine Bansieru."

"Did I forget to mention when my Blasteron attacks I may choose to destroy a spell card from your side of the field?"

"I do not know what good that will do you."

"I choose your Allied Forces card! Since Blasteron makes all of your monsters have 500 attack taken away it seems he is still stronger."

"Its my turn so that doesn't matter. I play Mask Of The Magician raising my Sorceror's attack by 900. Now take down Blasteron!"

"Not bad, but I still have more Life Points then you."

"It is your move and now with Blasteron gone my Sorceror has 4100 attack."

"I can see that. But you should be more afraid for I drew what I needed once again! I play Card of Sanctity for us both to draw six new cards. Now I will use Warrior Women From The Jungle Wild by giving up half of my Life Points to revive all five of my Amazoness' from the grave! Amazoness Jungle-Queen, Amazoness Chain Master, Amazoness Broad Blader, Amazoness Tiger, and another Amazoness Chain Master. It is time to finish things as I play Untamed Wild!" As she said that all five Amazoness' ran into each other and then jumped into the air together and suddenly many vines went after Sorceror Of Dark Magic and destroyed him along with the rest of Yugi's Life Points. "This card allows all of the Amazoness on the field to join together and attack as one great force."

"Then I lost!"

"Don't sound so down," The Shadow Realm disappeared. "At least we did not wage anything for you to stay in the Shadow Realm. I only used it to weaken you into not playing so well. Now that that has happened I've won."

As they were coming out together and walking on the stage Seto announced Bansieru's win. "And with that I pronounce Bansieru the new King of Games!"

"I am sorry," She grabbed the microphone, "I am changing it to Queen Of Games."

"Alright we can make that exception. Bansieru the Queen of Games!" Some people started cheering as others just watched and hoped that what she said was not true.

'The end has just begun.'

Episode 32- Forced Reflection Part 1

'The time has come.'

'I shall defeat him for the sake of my team.'

"The duel of Bakyru versus Rhett will begin. Are you guys ready," Seto asked them looking at the screen. It seems that the two duelists are already in their room, that looks a lot like monsters that use machine-guns as attacks and a few mirrors flashing.

"I know I am," Bakyru answered.

"This loser's goin down," Rhett replied with.

"THEN LET THE DUEL BEGIN!"

Rhett & Bakyru: "Let's Duel!"

"I remember how you used your Moonlight Warrior on Lynn. So I'll make sure he never shines."

"My monster will show up when the crescent moon rises."

"My big brother was the one who taught me about Duel Monsters, and look how far I've come. I doubt you could defeat me."

"Do you think I am afraid of your brother Bakura? No chance!"

"Then allow me to go first and show you the truth of my family," Bakyru replied with as he activated his duel disk along with Rhett and they drew. "It seems this duel will be as short as many others. I'll use Fire Juggle to discard every card from my deck to--"

"Don't you know that my chain-link Impossible Dream negates that?"

"Well, how conveniant. In that case Handheld Tributation will suit me just fine."

2600/2200

"By giving up my two monsters in hand I can use them as tributes, instead if being on the field. This is treated as a special summon."

"It only works for this one turn so try as much as you want use your dumb machines against me."

"Barrel Dragon will wipe you away so I place a card face-down and that does it for me." 'And soon it will do it for you when your turn begins.'

"Let me give you a refresh course of how my deck runs. First I summon Marauding Captain, then he allows me to summon another monster in defense. Big Shield Gardna."

1200/400
100/2600

"You see I have a strategy as well so now I throw a card face-down and end my turn."

"You do know Barrel Dragon's special ability?"

"Of course but I doubt it shall work."

"I use Pot of Greed to draw two new cards." 'Polymerization won't do anything for me so maybe this monster will.' "I summon Starfighter T-41."

1650/850

"What is that!?"

"A monster who now transforms into a strong Gradius," Bakyru mentioned as Starfighter changed into Gradius. "Now I use Barrel Dragon's effect!" As three coins flip it turns out to be three tails.

"Darn, looks like you lose."

"Not quite. You left your Marauding Captain out in the open for my Gradius."

"Dark Spirit Of The Silent will stop your Gradius and make Barrel Dragon attack Big Shield," Rhett replied as the Barrel Blaster shot into the huge shield and Gardna was switched to attack.

"Your move then."

"Gladly. For I switch Big Shield Gardna back to defense. As long as I can keep this from happening your monsters will be useless against me. I place another card face-down. That does it for me."

"No summoning any monsters?"

"I didn't feel like it." 'The truth is my hand is too full of spell and trap cards.'

"That won't hurt me none." 'Just the card I needed. Now I can use both effects before I end my turn.' "I tribute Gradius for Blowback Dragon."

2300/1600

"You have both ultimate machines?"

"You seem to notice a pattern Rhett."

"Errr....."

"Now I use Blowback first so my three coins... Give it a go."

"It seems that failed."

"Then lets see how he does in battle when he attacks Marauding Captain."

"Dark Spirit Of The Silent will make your Barrel Dragon take the attack on my Big Shield again."

"Now I use my Barrel's effect on Marauding Captain."

"With the luck you've been having? I would like to see hahahaha!"

"One.... TWO.... THREE!!"

"What!?"

"He won't be giving out orders anytime soon."

"That won't matter shortly anyway! Now I use Earth-Shattering Ground Collapse to make three of your monster zones useless," As that happened three whirling winds of lightning began to start shocking the three remaining monster zones left on Bakyru's side of the field and seemed to be staying there. "This will show you how much I don't like to lose."

"If you think these will hold me."

"Hmph. Now I use Reinforcements Of The Army to summon Marauding Captain and another Marauding Captain."

1200/400
1200/400

"Now attacking me is not an option! To finish this I lay another card face-down."

"You should not have given me such an edge."

"Your useless attempts for using those Dragon's has been nothing. I am sure that it will not work again."

"Then I will--"

"Not summon a monster.. heh!"

"You skip the guns a bit don't you? I was going to say Polymerization to fuse my Dragon's together and form Gatling Dragon!"

2600/1200

"Gatling's effect activates." Suddenly a heads flipped up and Marauding Captain was destroyed, then another heads came and destroyed the other Captain, except the third was a tails.

"I still have a monster!"

"But not for long. Gatling Dragon attack his Gardna with Barrel Blasters."

"Ahhh!!"

"Reveal face-down card, De-Fusion."

"NOT TWO DRAGON'S!"

"Yes and now they are ready to attack you for even more damage."

=========================================== Episode 33- Forced Reflection Part 2

"Barrel and Blowback Dragon attack!"

"OOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!"

"Your turn."

"I don't think so."

"WHAT!?"

"Waning Of The Crescent Moon! I can activate this as long as I've taken more than 4000 damage during a battle phase," Suddenly the trap card went face-up and a giant beam of light shown out and hit the cieling as the full moon changed into a crescent moon as a little gleam of moonshine came down and Moonlight Warrior was there.

1950/2850

"Moonlight Warrior gleam into play! Now its my turn. SO THE CHALLENGE BEGINS!! Things should be on a level playing field after this."

"Your the one whose Life Points are down to 600 while mine remain untouched."

"That stops now so I play Card of Sanctity," They both drew until they had six cards in hand. "Let us see who is more superior. I equip Mystical Moon onto my Warrior to raise his attack to 2950. Then I throw down two face-down's. Moonlight Warrior... ake care of Blowback. Moonlight Beam!"

"Eh!"

"They say the weakest should go first."

"But I can go."

"Fairly well."

"I use Genesis Revival to resuscitate Blowback Dragon."

"If you plan on reforming your Gatling then take another look. I activate Non-Fusion Area!"

"That doesn't stop a thing, except the card in my hand, so before I use it how about I play Blasting Dragon Blasters?"

"What does that do?"

"I'll show you by destroying any card I wish. All I have to do is flip three coins. For each heads I get to destroy one of your spell and trap cards." As they flipped Rhett seemed nervous.

"NO!!"

"I got two so your Mystical Moon and Non-Fusion Area are hereby withdrawn from this duel."

"AYE!"

"Now I use Re-Fusion. Show yourself Gatling Dragon. And now his ability activates allowing me to flip three coins. Lets see what luck has in store for me. In fact, I'll only flip one single coin," One coin appeared on the field and flipped as it turned out to be heads.

"Not another of my monsters!"

"And now I attack you directly. Gatling Blasters."

"My trap card Fusion Wall will make that for nothing!"

"My attack was negated?"

"And as long as you have a fusion monster on your side of the field he cannot even declare an attack."

"Your go."

"Thanks but I have a feeling there is a better solution on its way to the problem of ending this duel."

"What are you planning this time?"

"A chance to draw some cards as I use Pot of Avarice to take all five monsters in my graveyard and put them back into my deck."

"He's not the better duelist brother. Now defeat him," Bakura said holding a microphone talking to the screen out in the dome.

"Bakura?"

"Yes it is me Bakyru."

"What are you doing?"

"I asked Seto to let me speak to you. You must understand that even though your Gatling Dragon cannot attack there are ways around it. Try to think things through before you execute them."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. I believe in you."

"Thanks Bakura."

"Awww big brother here to cheer little wimp up?"

"You'll regret that. SO TAKE YOUR TURN!"

"Heh, I activate Crescent Ritual to bring back Moonlight Warrior. Now I use the effect when he is properly ritual summoned by Crescent Ritual I can automatically play another Mystical Moon from my deck! Are you afraid?"

"Not the least."

"You should be. Now attack with Moonlight Beam!"

"I said I was not afraid so I allow my Gatling Dragon to go."

"How brave. Your move."

"That was your last turn and you waste it by not laying down any safety cards?"

"What are you saying?"

"That I have already won. Sacred Phoenix Feathers allows me to take any card from my discard pile into hand and I choose to use it. Handheld Tributation, so I may get rid of another monster to summon one that wants to come out, Shadow Gate Morphed Gatlinger!"

2800/2700

"A SHADOW GATE!?"

"You forget all of us Rogue's have one don't you?"

"I could not even get mine out."

"That one doesn't belong to you anyway. So now I activate his effect. I roll a dice and for each number I get to decrease your monsters attack by that much."

"OH DEAR!"

"Time for the dice roll."

'This is it.'

'Come on brother let this work.'

'Here it comes.'

"Three hundred of your Moonlight Warrior's attack is taken away leaving him at 2650."

"I will still have enough Life Points left."

"My monster forces you to lose an automatic 500 Life Points if he destroys a monster in battle."

"THIS CANNOT BE! You found a way to make me lose?"

"Now attack him with Jarring Gunshots!"

"My Moonlight Warrior no!!"

"You lose and Shadow Gate Triasko is right back where it belongs," Bakyru stated as it flew out of Rhett's deck and into his hand.

"Bakyru is the winner!" Seto announced as everyone applauded as they were strolling out into the dome from their room.

'You lost Rhett. But I shall make sure our team does not get any more pains once I win this tournament. Your going down Bakyru and it seems our duel is next,' Kraytn thought as he got up and into the dome as he looked hard at Bakyru.

"It looks like the first round of the finals are about over," Seto announced as Kraytn stood in one corner of the dueling arena in the Kaiba Dome and Bakyru in the other. "This match is against the first winner of the finals and the last. Kraytn versus Bakyru. Here in this duel we shall see who is going to move forward."

"Let me take over your speech sir," Roland asked him as Seto denied it.

"Are you two ready to duel?" They both shook their heads, "Then the winner takes the losers Shadow Gate Card's since you both have some."

"I just hope my brother doesn't lose this," Bakura said as Shino heard him.

"If you must know Kraytn lost to Bakyru when he dueled for the entrance to the finals," Shino replied as Bakura looked shocked.

"He defeated the Euro Champion!?"

"Yes, and we all seen it just as Shino has said," Risha added in as Bakura seemed to have a smirk on his face.

'My brother already taken down the Euro Champion once? If that is true then Kraytn is going to up his game for this one.'

"You do know I won't lose to you twice," Kraytn implied as he held out his duel disk.

"I believe talking is how your flunky lost to me last game," Bakyru replied back to him as they both activated their duel disks.

Bakyru & Kraytn: "Let's Duel!"

"This time the Euro Champion will go first."

"Ever since I have known you when we went to school together you always acted tough and proclaimed yourself the best duelist."

"That's because I am. Once I win there will be no disputing that your current victory was a sham due to that other kids help."

"Then make your move."

'I drew a Shadow Gate on the very first turn! All I need is that card Pegasus made for me especially and it will be able to win me the game.'

"Are you just going to stare at your cards all day?"

"I was just wondering how I would bring you down. But enough with the thinking! I'll start this game out with an extraordinary move. Swan Maiden!"

1200/0

"As you know Swan Maiden allows me to special summon a Valkyrie from my hand to the field so I chose Valkyrie Reikza."

"I bet her attack is about to rise?"

"Precisely. Now I summon Minclid in attack."

500/0

"I end my turn by placing a card face-down." 'Now is the time for you to take the bait.'

"Don't worry I know exactly what your planning."

"Oh really?"

"You want me to attack Minclid so your trap card will stop me."

"You'll have to find that out for yourself."

"I summon Spell-Countering Reflectet."

100/100

"Then I play Scapegoat to raise his attack by 500 for each token on the field."

"I remember your monsters effect just get on with it."

"Since your Valkyrie has more attack then my Reflectet my attack will just have to be to your Minclid. Reflectet attack with Reflectet Beam."

"Waboku block his attack!"

"In that case I will set a card face-down."

"Let's turn the tables! I use Nibelung's Treasure to draw five cards, but it also allows me to play a spell card from my deck called Nibelung's Ring onto your Reflectet. Now when you draw you get to pick up two cards and if either is a monster it is discarded from your hand."

"I haven't forgotten so just draw."

"The fun begins... I use A Feather Of The Phoenix and discard Valkyrie Dritte to place Nibelung's Treasure back on the top of my deck. Now I use Polymorphism to fuse my Valkyrie Reikza with Valkyrie Zweite in my hand to form Valkyrie Zaazaa!"

1700/200

"Your new Valkyrie seems to be lacking in the strength department."

"Ahhhh... But you have never seen this Valkyrie before. She has a hidden power only I know of and when you try to attack she will only show you what it is! Now Zaazaa attack one of his Scapegoat's with Rampant Stampede!" She charged forward to one of the goats and her horses hooves smashed it away.

"With my goats in defense mode your Minclid cannot attack since they have 1000 defense."

"I know this that is why I set a card face-down just as we have been doing. Your move."

"This is a no brainer."

"You do forget my Ring's ability."

"Then I discard my Barrel Dragon."

"What a powerful card to have lost."

"I have better. I activate Dark Hole to destroy every monster on the field."

"Ehh!"

"With things back to me again I can finally attack you this turn for the first damage. Mirror Salvager."

1900/200

"Now attack Kraytn directly!"

"You should know better than that. Reveal trap card Loge's Flame! As long as this card remains face-up on the field no monsters with the stength of 2000 or less can attack. Nifty wouldn't you say herr Bakyru?"

"I think it is a waste of time that is why I use Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy it."

"You should have thought about that. When Loge's Flame is destroyed I get to special summon Valkyrie Brunhilde!"

1800/2000

"With her on the field things are about to be a little more epic."

Episode 35- Next Of The Line Part 2



"Back to me already?"

"You should wait for me to place a card face-down."

"Oh look! I seemed to have drawn Nibelung's Treasure and I think I will use it. Using its ability I will play Shooting-Bow Ciel from my deck, after drawing five cards of course, on your Mirror Salvager."

"It's your card. Waste it how you want."

"I think making your monster lose 1000 attack points is more of a gain than a loss. It seems I have drawn another useful card. In order to summon it I must remove three Valkyrie's from my graveyard. I choose Reikza, Zweite, and Dritte to special summon Valkyrie Odunda Queen Of The Valkyrie's," As the monsters were removed from the game a great Valkyrie on a white flying horse bigger than any other appeared on the field. She seemed to look young and beautiful and wore a brown Valkyrie's outfit.

3100/2400

"Odunda even has a special ability. I get to remove one of your cards from the game and I choose your face-down."

"Eh..."

"Oh yes. And with Brunhilde and Odunda out on the field my victory is closer. Now when Odunda is special summoned to the field I can play Odunda's Chariot from my deck."

200/200

"I use its Union ability to equip it onto Odunda," The chariot connected to Odunda's horse and created an even bigger chariot that fit a queen. "This looks bad for you. All that is left is for me to attack! I activate Hand Replenish. Now whenever I discard cards from my hand I get to draw that many cards."

"What will that prove?"

"For my deck to always allow me to play whatever I want. Since I want to summon a high level monster I will just use Cost Down and then summon Valkyrie Greta."

1900/1200

"Since I used Cost Down I get to draw a card to replace the one I discarded, except I'm not done with the effect just yet. I use Greta's ability to discard three cards from my hand, and draw that many from my deck, to special summon Valkyrie Zaazaa back from the grave."

1700/200

"This is where you beg for mercy!"

"I beg for no one."

"Then prepare to lose. Valkyrie Odunda attack his Salvager!"

"A chain-link can stop you, especially this one. Resilience!"

"I don't understand."

"You see this chain-link ends the battle phase when I play it and also allows me to play ANY card from my deck I choose to."

"WHAT!? But I had you right where I wanted you!"

"Now I set a trap card from my deck face-down and start my turn." 'Hmm.' "I activate Card Of Sanctity for us both to draw until we each have six cards in hand. Then I use Card Destruction."

"You do know that with Hand Replenish I get to draw twelve new cards?"

"Exactly what I wanted."

"But how?"

"My face-down will show you. Heavy Slump forces you to put your hand back into your deck and draw only two cards."

"My precious hand. I had everything I needed."

"Now you don't."

"You will pay for that herr Bakyru."

"I doubt it. Now I sacrifice Mirror Salvager for Shadow Gate Morphed Gatlinger!"

2800/2700

"I use his effect to roll a dice," A hologram die appeared on the field and began to roll."

"Who will you be using this on?"

"Your Valkyrie Queen." Then the die stopped and landed.

"Sorry but its just a two and since I seen your duel with Rhett I know for a fact Odunda only loses 200 attack strength leaving her at 100 more than your useless Shadow Gate."

"That maybe so but I won't stop there. I equip Morphed Gatlinger with Aerodynamcy Upgrade," When equipped it seemed Gatlinger gained more gatling guns, two huge rocket blasters on the top of its machine guns, and three mini-laserguns on its bottom.

"Your make-over doesn't frighten me. You will need more than that for me to back down."

"It should, for now I equip him with another card, Axe of Despair," The strange machine used its wheels and grabbed the axe.

3800/2700

"Thanks to his effect I get to attack your weakened Valkyrie Odunda with Jarring Gunshots!"

"When she is equipped with Odunda's Chariot my Queen cannot be destroyed as a result of battle."

"You still lost Life Points."

"And that I did. But next turn I will not only crush you but take both of the Shadow Gate Card's you possess and add them to my very own deck!"

"You think Odunda can survive without her equipment?"

"Is that a threat?"

"How about a promise as I activate De-Spell to destroy her Chariot."

"My turn! Now I use Odunda's effect to re--"

"Sorry but my Aerodynamcy Upgrade negates that effect. Try it next turn."

"ERRRR!!! THE PAYBACK IS HERE!! SO GET READY FOR DEFEAT AS I USE SOUL RELEASE!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Episode 36- Next Of The Line Part 3



"I remove Thousand Gadget Warrior, Barrel Dragon, Spell-Countering Reflectet, Reflection Advisor, and Mirror Salvager from the game."

"What are you planning?"

"On using Rainbow Bridge Bifrost! This raises my Valkyrie Odunda's attack by 500 for each monster removed from the game," Suddenly the five monsters just removed from the game began to cross over on a rainbow and into Odunda along with Valkyrie Dritte, Reikza, and Zweite.

"Three of those were your own."

"I said every monster removed from the game didn't I? Which just happens to include them as well. Now take a look at the Valkyrie Queen's foreboding power!!"

7100/2400

"If she attacks.. I'll lose the duel."

"And how sweet it is to hear those words. Now take him down Odunda and show the other Valkyrie's their path to victory!" She raced over to Morphed Gatlinger and it seemed a clear win.

'If her attack goes through Bakyru will be at 4700 Life Points which is not even enough to block the remaining Valkyrie attacks,' Bakura thought.

"Never give up." Just then Bakyru raised a card from his hand and Odunda disappeared entirely.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER HERR BAKYRU!?"

"Bond Breaker negates all the attacks of your monsters for this turn and then takes your strongest monster and places it back on the top of your deck."

"You are only negating the inevitable. Next turn she shall rise again!"

"Then I will have another way to stop her."

"Just go already!"

"I place a card face-down and then have Morphed Gatlinger use his effect on your Valkyrie Greta."

'Please don't be a high number.'

"Since I got a six it seems Greta is going to make you pay for using her in the first place. Gatlinger attack her with Jarring Gunshots!"

"AHHHH!!! Now it is time I take back what you have done to me. I draw Valkyrie Odunda once again and--"

"Your days of using that over sized queen is over. I activate Drop Off."

"Buu.... but how did I.... NO!!!"

"Speechless?"

"Knowing my deck I believe in it, and the cards I have will allow me to bring back my Valkyrie Queen. All I need to do is wait until I get it. Meanwhile I get to draw a new card since my Hand Replenish is on the field."

"I'm a whole different kind of opponent, so you'll never win against me. You lost the first time and every other time I've faced you."

"This shall be different herr Bakyru. I switch my Valkyrie's to defense mode and end my turn."

"Reasonable enough."

"You could not possibly imagine what I hold in my hand right now. All I need is one card and you're finished!!"

"I throw down a face-down and have Morphed Gatlinger attack Valkyrie Brunhilde with Jarring Gunshots!"

"I decrease her defense by 1000 to save her from destruction!"

"Then so be it. I end my turn."

'Good now I can do what I wanted,' He looked at the card, 'AND I GOT IT!!'

"What are you smiling about?"

"I play my own Card of Sanctity."

"You do know I get an awesome deal out of that with no cards in my hand?"

"The only thing I care about is how I will defeat you! I play Final Light to give up 1000 of my Life Points to special summon Valkyrie Odunda back to the field! Ah hahahaha!"

"Check again. My Revenge From The Grave counters your Final Light and makes each of us take 100 damage for each card in our graveyards."

"AH!"

Kraytn's Life Points: 1900 Bakyru's Life Points: 6700

"This game will end with me winning. and to prove so, I summon a monster that was made specially for me by request... Schroderman!"

800/1000

"Now I tribute him to special summon Shadow Gate Green-Eyes Dark Dragon!"

4200/3000

"Do you believe in luck?"

"Actually I do."

"That is good because you shall need it! Now Green-Eyes attack Morphed Gatlinger with Green Thunder!" As he called it out the green thunder destroyed Bakyru's Shadow Gate monster. "Brunhilde shall go back to attack mode. I win next turn so go and have your pitiful move." He waved his hand as if to move at Bakyru.

"With such a big hand you believe I might not pull through?"

"Don't make me laugh."

"If that is how you want it. I use Exchange to take a card from your hand and put it in mine as you do the same."

"That is a child's card," Kraytn implied as their hands were shown as holograms on the dueling field. Kraytn held Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Light Knight Armor, and Pretty Penny. While Bakyru had Mind Control, Spell-Shield Reflectet, Interception Robot, Spell-Shield Type 8, Reflect Bounder, and Polymerization. "I will take your Reflect Bounder."

"Then I shall take the Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

"If you wish."

"Didn't you notice what I had in my hand?"

"Nothing that scares me."

"It should! I use Mind Control to take your Green-Eyes Dark Dragon and fuse Blue-Eyes together for Green-Eyes White Dragonoid!"

4800/3300

"Now attack Valkyrie Brunhilde with Green Thunder Charge!"

"I activate my chain-link's! First comes Pretty Penny to make their attacks the same then next I use Light Knight Armor to raise Brunhilde's attack making it 700 points stronger."

"AHHH," He blocked the smoke coming out from the huge attacks. "I place one card face-down."

"This is it everyone," He looked at the camera, "I am about to win! I play Warrior Women From The Sky Haven!"

"NOT SO FAST! I activate Spell Shield Type-8 and discard Spell-Shield Reflectet to negate it."

"I will still win! I summon Reflect Bounder. All three attack him directly!" Bakyru's Life Points went to zero as Shadow Gate Triasko and Morphed Gatlinger flew from out of his graveyard and into Kraytn's hand. "I hold THREE!" He held them up as everyone cheered.

Episode 37- FINALS! Who Is That That!?



"I WON!" Kraytn shouted as everyone from his home country applauded and cheered.

"I will give you til tomorrow to get ready for your next match," Seto stated as Kraytn changed his looks to startled.

"I am playing first?"

"That is what I just said."

"Who is my opponent?"

"Everyone pay attention as the semi-final matches are announced," Seto said as the board appeared with two people on it. "Kraytn versus Bansieru!" Then it changed again. "Then we have Quint, since his indiscretion we had a while ago, he shall be playing against the toughest opponent as promised... Shino Magami!" Everyone in the whole Kaiba Dome shouted and whistled for the famed match.

"That Slifer Slacker gets to face Quint!? I wanted that pleasure."

"If you have a problem then do you want to forfeit," Roland stated to Kraytn getting up and in front of him defending Seto.

"It is alright with--" Suddenly it got windy and things started blowing around as everyone looked up at the Dome opening up and a helicopter landing down on the Dome.

"What is going on," Mokuba asked his brother as Seto backed away from the arena.

"We are having a guest appearance."

"What for?"

"You'll see soon enough Mokuba."

"Can anyone explain what this is all about," Lynn asked around.

"I have no idea but it must be someone special since they allowed the Kaiba Dome to open," Shino replied as the helicopter landed and the blades whirled to a dead silence. Just then someone got out and grabbed a microphone as Seto introduced the new guest.

"A few hours ago I received a phone call from the creator of Duel Monsters himself Maxamillion Pegasus. He is now here to talk to one of the finalists," Seto gave Pegasus the mic.

"Hello dear duelists. As Seto has said I am here to talk to a very special individual. When I noticed Yugi dueling with Bansieru she said some things that a lot of you must haven been taken back with. In order for her plans not to progress I have created new cards for Shino Magami to use."

"But he is playing Quint," Wayne announced in the silence.

"Well, then I guess he is going to get a present. Shino will you please come here?" Just then they all pushed him and he walked up to Pegasus. "I present with you new cards that are not on the shelf yet," He shown him the suitcase and opened it up as a deck fit inside. "Take this and reformat your deck for the semi-finals," Then he whispered to him, "I know you are going to beat Quint with these cards so try and take her down."

"Thanks," Shino whispered back as Bansieru walked up to Pegasus.

"You think that I can be defeated that easily?"

"You must be Bansieru."

"Why, yes it is. Recreating Duel Monsters was a great idea and I thank you for it," Bansieru implied.

"Why would it help you?"

"It brought me my victims so that the Shadow Blade could be filled with shadows," She held it up for him to see as he gasped.

"So you have collected the free will of souls?"

"You do your homework."

"That is not all my dear," He then activated his Millennium Eye as it pierced through Bansieru's mind.

"You are the Keeper of the Shadow Realm," A voice told Bansieru as purple darkness began to engulf her surroundings and soon she was in the Shadow Realm.

"Why are you doing this to me," Bansieru asks the voice.

"I needed someone to keep this dark world in balance. You will obey me and do as you are created for."
-
"I don't want this job anymore I want to be out in the real world!"

"I have created you to ruleover this one world and you want MORE?"

"Maybe I will try and escape since you won't allow me freedom!"

"Then you shall be unsuccessful."

"What!?" She seemed to change into an Amazoness outfit.

"As long as you wear these clothes your bonded under my powers and if you escape this world the Great Beasts shall put you back," We see outside of the Shadow Realm in the real world the seven Shadow Gate Monster's.

"They cannot live forever!"
-
"Shadow Realm?"

"What is your name?"

"I am Pharoah Atem. I must have slipped here when Bakura stole the Ring," He replied using the Millennium Puzzle to escape.
-
"What is this she holds," She picks up a dueling deck from one of the souls. "I've never seen any soul being able to hold onto something." She examines it and then notices the monsters that looked like her. "What are these?" She pushes at the soul and the girl opens her eyes. "Tell me what these are!"

"Who... who are you?"

"Someone whose very interested in what you possess."

"They are called Duel Monsters."

"Lets make a deal. I won't destroy you if you tell me everything about them."

"You will have to learn to use them as well."

"Good."
-
"Your shadow is mine," Bansieru announced to someone who lost a duel as she held up her fighting blade that was given to her by the Creator. The shadow went inside of the blade as it lit up with a dark glow.

"You seemed to have learned the game well," The girl stated who was still inside the realm.

"I have what I want and you got what you wanted."

"But what about what you promised me?"

"You shall have it... now!" She pointed the blade at her and she disappeared. "Back in your own world you go. I hope she realizes how much I've grown to enjoy her company. I suppose when I control the human world someday that she may be by my side."
-
"The Shadow Gate Monsters have passed away!"

"I told you what the curse was to hold you in your place," The creator announced as a flash of seven cards were flashed over her. "They are still quite alive and just as powerful."

"Since they are not the living beings I am sure you'll need humans to care for them. They are messy and when I leave here and kill them off using their power to join this world with the human world and create the ultimate Shadow World it will be your fault!"
-

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Bansieru screamed at Pegasus.

"I used my Millennium Eye to look into your mind."

"NO! Then you know everything!"

"Exactly. Shino she plans to use this world as her own and rule after combined the Shadlw Realm with this one."

"If that is what you plan then I shall take you down Bansieru," Shino answered as she laughed.

"You'll have to defeat Quint first."

================================

Episode 38- Amazoness Master Bansieru Arrives Part 1



"It has been a long wait for the semi-finals to begin but now it has," Bansieru said to Kraytn, noticing both of their duel disks are activated already, cards drawn, and game faces on.

"We all know your plot," Kraytn replied.

"Only due to Pegasus. If he never would have used that Eye of his you pathetic humans would only have half the story. But as he said I wanted more and now I am going to get it!"

Bansieru & Kraytn: "Let's Duel!"

"Ladies should always go first and of course I will!"

1500/1300

"Amazoness Fighter in attack mode shall start it off. Then next these two face-down."

"My sky warriors are far superior to your cavern-dated women."

"I will only believe that when I see it."

"I was hoping you would say that so I summon Valkyrie Rosetta!"

1600/200

"Using her effect I pay 1500 Life Points to special summon Valkyrie Zweite."

1600/1600

"Since she was summoned I get to choose one of your monsters to destroy but all you have is Amazoness Fighter. Sadly, she must go."

"Not if I activate my face-down card Dramatic Rescue!"

2200/1200

"Amazoness Striker will be taking her place."

"How primative! What you do not realize is that I'm the Euro Champion and you are some woman who was freed from a supernatural prison. I'll take my chances. I play Fortune Chariot onto Valkyrie Rosetta. Not only does she have a more beautiful horse but she may attack you directly and all that she has to do is cut her strength by half."

'What a great strategy but soon you will only realize that I'm a master tamer.'

"Attack her now Rosetta!"

"Sorry but she is about to be perched with my face-down card. Amazoness Stasis!" As it flipped face-up on the field Rosetta attacked Striker and was destroyed. "Now during this turn your attacks can only be directed towards Amazoness monsters."

"Then I will throw down a face-down and that does it for me."

"Perfection comes with experience so you can try as much as you want and I will always come out on top during this duel kid," Bansieru stated drawing as Kraytn got angry. "I resummon Amazoness Fighter and then give her a make-over by playing Amazoness Bowgun."

"That card seems useless."

"Not when she attacks you six times this turn. Just watch."

'Don't worry I have been watching and every step is closer to my success.'

"Now Striker take out Valkyrie Zweite!"

"Ugh!"

"Had enough yet?"

"Not as much as you shall have."

"Now attack him directly my Fighter with Bowgun Arrowhead!" As the arrow flew into Kraytn it disappeared.

"Loge's Flame activate! Now no monsters on the field may attack unless they have an attack higher than 2000."

"Hide behind your cards but I won't so go!"

"With my trap card on the field I know for a fact your Amazoness girls won't be able to make the grade of attacking. Pity."

"Just duel pretty boy."

"Errr!!! You should be as so lucky to lose this very moment! I play Polymerization to fuse Green-Eyes Dark Dragon together with Blue-Eyes White Dragon for Green-Eyes White Dragonoid!!"

4800/3300

"You see perfection does award me with the most powerful monster to ever exist in my deck!"

"He doesn't frighten me."

"Be brave for he strikes now with Green Thunder Charge!! Hahahaha!! Goodbye Amazoness Striker and you too Fraulein Bansieru!"

"That is what you think so I use the chain-link Doom's Proposal to switch your attack to my Amazoness Fighter, saving me from any damage."

"You won't have anything helping you next turn when he attacks again."

"I am going to show you just how strong the women of the jungle really are! I use the spell card Amazoness Spiritualism," As she called its name Green-Eyes Blue Dragonoid transformed back into Blue-Eyes and Green-Eyes.

3000/2500
4200/3000

"How did you do that?"

"By returning your fusion monster back to your deck."

"Well now I have two strong dragons out thanks to you."

"That will change. But before that happens I play Card of Sanctity."

"You dare threaten me with nothing in your hand? I was right your deck is a pity."

"You shall eat your words big boy so lets try a new approach to life."

1500/1600

"I brung forth Amazoness Swordswoman to this battle. But now all I have to do is throw down two face-down cards."

"Thanks for the new hand your help allows me to play Ride Of The Valkyries!" He lifted the card up as three Valkyrie's started flying around in a circle on the field. "You not only gave me access to the most powerful card in my deck but now my three Valkyrie's effects shall once again give me an edge! Welcome Valkyrie Brunhilde, Reikza, and Erste."

3900/2000
3200/0
1600/1800

"Now face the wrath of the almighty Valkyrie's!"

Episode 39- Amazoness Master Bansieru Arrives Part 2



"Brunhilda take down Striker!"

"You should know my deck better than that pretty boy for you triggered my trap cards known as Amazoness Archers."

"TWO OF THEM!?"

"I always let them come in pairs."

"But that means all of my monsters' attacks are decreased by 1000 and they all MUST attack."

"Too bad your Loge's Flame doesn't affect my trap cards."

"Your are right!"

"But since your Brunhilde already attacked she is toast for my Archers also negate all effects of your current monsters on the field."

"I had forgotten that!!"

"Now pay for your ignorance!"

"Brunhilde stop!"

"It is too late," Suddenly Striker sliced her opposition at the waist and Brunhilde's defense decreased saving her. "Whose next?"

"You should remember that my Green-Eyes can take out your Striker with Green Thunder! Followed by Blue-Eyes taking out your Swordswoman!"

"But you take the damage due to Amazoness Swordwoman's effect."

"ERR!! Now I have my remaining two monsters attack you for 800 direct damage."

"Now whose deck is a pity for when you end your turn your useless Valkyrie's are gone back into your deck."

"That is what I shall do."

"With the beginning of a new turn I shall summon Amazoness Vine Whipper."

800/1900

"And using her ability I get to play three Electro Whip's from my deck."

"Those are for thunder monsters!"

"Her effect changes all of that. Now I activate my Wild Woman and Beauty Queen combo," Bansieru played them from her hand as Vine Whipper threw all three Electro Whip's from her hands into the air as they multiplied into six and started connecting to each other creating two giant three-laced whip's as Vine Whipper jumped into the air herself and grabbed them. Then she landed and slashed them around.

5600/6700

"SHE CANNOT BE THAT GREAT!!"

"And with what little Life Points you have left I am sure to win. So lets get on with the show! Amazoness Vine Whipper use your second ability and attack Kraytn directly for the win! Thorned Whipping," She ordered her Amazoness to attack as she slapped the ground with her fan-looking whip's as they dug underground and popped up in front of Kraytn just they hit a fence.

"You think it would be that easily? Chain-Linked Fence stops your attack for this and the next four turns. And if my Life Points decrease I gain it instead along with the damage I should have taken this turn."

"WHAT!?"

"You see I knew what you were planning due to my superior duel disk's advanced technology. But thanks for the heads up."

Kraytn's Life Points: 6700 Bansieru's Life Points: 6200

"Back to me I play A Feather Of The Phoenix to put Chain-Linked Fence on the top of my deck, and all I had to do was discard this useless Minclid."

'There is no way I can get to him if he uses that again!'

"Now I play Miracle Rituals to offer my Blue-Eyes as a tribute to special summon Wildfire Dragon from my deck."

2950/2950

"This does it for me."

"Great now we are topdecking! Your card is irritating so I end my turn."

"I am glad you like it. Your move."

"I know you drew your Chain-Linked Fence so I end my turn as well.""

"Now that my chain-link's effect is done with I choose to activate it again so come back my Chain-Linked Fence. I do this to play Final Light by gaining 1000 Life Points to special summon a Valkyrie from the grave, as you can bring back a monster as well."

"Fine then I choose Amazoness Swordswoman."

"And I pick Valkyrie Brunhilda!"

3300/2000

"Now I have my own blocker."

"You forget that soon we will have to battle and that is when you lose!"

"That does it for now."

"I will just draw and end."

"You make this boring not doing anything."

"It is all the chance you give me."

"Well then draw another card for I end as well."

"I place a card face-down and that does it for me. Is this duel going to pick up speed or what?"

"Sadly I just drew the card I needed."

"Huh? You were waiting for something?"

"Yes. THIS!! I tribute Valkyrie Brunhilde and Green-Eyes for Devion Dragon Tank."

2450/2400

"Using his ability I gain 3000 Life Points to destroy both monsters on your side of the field."

"This is impossible! You couldn't have planned something out this carefully!!"

"I did and now say Auf Vedasain to your best monster Fraulein!"

Episode 40- Amazoness Master Bansieru Arrives Part 3

"Next turn your down for the count!"

"I don't think so. I activate Emergency Provisions to destroy my two Electro-Vine Whip's before my monster is destroyed. Since each Whip is made up of three cards I gain 6000 Life Points total."

"In a few turns that may not even matter."

"Let me see, is that before or after you lose?"

"Then take your turn and show me strength!"

"Gladly. I bring in Dexwill Wisdom-Lover."

2/2

"If you notice he is weak but this face-down card shall prove victory for me."

"I'll draw and not waste my breath on using my Tank's ability on that useless thing. Wildfire Dragon att--"

"I play Roll Recall to use a trap card from your deck that blocks any attacks."

"The only one that would be is this," Kraytn laid the card down and it was changed to Bansieru's side of the field.

"I activate Waboku to block your attack completely saving my monster."

"Since you watched my duel you knew that card was in my deck. I just hope those aren't you only plans."

"Not using your Tank's effect is going to backfire, for he can only be used during the Main Phase 1 and during my next turn Dexwil will show his annoyance."

"Well I let you go then."

"I summon Sierra Wisdom-Seeker!"

1/1

"When Dexwil and Sierra are on the field I can special summon Puc Wisdom-Keeper from my deck."

0/0

"What are your weak little elves going to prove?"

"That together wisdom is the strongest of all. Now I play the Library of Wisdom. This is all I will do for the time being.

"Your little imps didn't feel like taking on my big boys?"

"Due to your Loge's Flame I can't or I would have."

"Well, then let me take care of that," Suddenly a strong gust destroyed his trap card.

"What happened?"

"I used Mystical Space Typhoon and got rid of it."

"But why?"

"So I can bring back Valkyrie Brunhilde!"

2700/2000

"Now as I was going to do last turn Devion attack Sierra with Magma Flyers!"

"Looks like he needs to get a check-up," Sierra got out a mystical blade and sliced the Tank in pieces as it was destroyed.

"What happened?"

"Library of Wisdom forces any attacking monsters stronger then my Wisdom gnomes to be removed from the game."

"No wonder you wanted to attack me."

"And with your Loge's Flame gone I will give you all the payback you desire."

"That is what you think Fraulein Bansieru."

"Then what else are you going to do oh mighty Euro Champion?"

'She is right! With her Wisdom monsters I cannot do anything. I wish I would have seen the duel she brought them out, or was that the one I slept for? Oh well I thought she was just some two-bit duelist anyway.'

"Your just standing there!"

"I am contemplating on what to do and I think ending my turn will be just fine."

"I set a card face-down and then have Puc use his magical skills to remove Brunhilde from the game."

'My poor darling.'

"Using my Puc's effect forces my Battle Phase to end so I give it all back to you Kraytn."

"How generous." 'I need a good card,' He drew his card and closed his eyes, 'I hope you are what I've been in need of.' "I activate Creature Swap! Since I figured your elves cannot be destroyed as long as they are together I am sure when one of them is gone your Library will crumble. So I give you control of my Wildfire Dragon."

"You can have Sierra."

"Now with things changed I am sure you are about as good as gone. Sierra Wisdom-Seeker strike down Puc Wisdom-Keeper!" She brought her magical blade out again and took down her friend."

"I am sorry to do this Puc."

"It is alright Sierra." She hit him in the chest and then returned to Kraytn's field.

"Look at how heartfelt your monsters are."

"They are a good group of friends."

"I guess so. But I won't do anything more."

"Let me see..." She just got a shocking look onto her face. 'WHAT!? I have never drawn this yet!'

"It looks like you got a dynamite card."

"You won't believe it. Now for the pride of Solomon Motu! I sacrifice Wildfire Dragon and Dexwil for AMAZONESS MASTER BANSIERU!!"

3350/2600

"But that card is legendary! How did you obtain one?"

"I bought it," She replied as Bansieru appeared on the field. She wore a bright red Amazoness dress that looked a lot like Bansieru before she came into the real world. She also held a sort of wand-staff that was made in pure gold.

"The only way you bought that card is if you were richer than I!!"

"Gold did help a bit."

"Le gasp!"

"Amazoness Master Bansieru take down Sierra with your Amazoness Judgment Mirage," Bansieru ordered as the monster form of herself held the wand in front of her and giant gold sparks came out of the ends. Sierra was then surrounded by a cage of gold-light shocking her as she was destroyed. "Any last requests?"

"You won't win due to your new Amazoness, I wont ALLOW IT!"

"Go ahead and try to take her down. I end my turn for you to do so HAHAHA!!"

Episode 41- Amazoness Master Bansieru Arrives Part 4


"I summon Valkyrie Dritte."

1200/1600

"In order to play Valkyrie's Embrace. All I have to do is switch Dritte to defense position and destroy your Amazoness Master Bansieru," As Dritte switched positions Bansieru smashed into a million pieces.

"Sorry but old Master's die hard. I REVEAL PRIDE OF THE FAMILY!! This allows me to speci--"

"I KNOW WHAT IT DOES!! BUT YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY HAVE BOTH VERSIONS!!"

"Yes I do, and here she is. Amazoness Master Bansieru!"

3350/2600

"Only two versions of that card were made!"

"Can you believe it everyone," Shino yelled as everyone watched in awe.

"She could never have obtained those while in the Shadow Realm," Risha replied with.

"I have a feeling someone helped her," Wayne added as Yugi came up to them and sat down.

"If you noticed what she said before summoning the first one, it was thanks to Solomon Motu," Yugi stated.

"That means she got it from your grandpa," Lynn said back to him.

"Correct."

"But how did he get both copies?"

"He received them after some kind of trade back in his days of dueling. I never noticed that the woman before us is that card." Back at the duel Kraytn was shocked.

"How can I defeat such a powerful monster?"

"Time is precious so please make a move."

"FINE THEN I WILL THROW A CARD FACE-DOWN AND END MY TURN!!"

"You don't have to be so rude to me pretty boy."

"I wouldn't have to be if your monster were not so powerful Fraulein."

"You've never seen power until her effects take place! I summon Amazoness Huntress."

1700/900

"I put a face-down card of my own then have Huntress attack Dritte. Finally I shall have Bansieru attack you directly," As she used her forceful Amazoness Judgment Mirage she seemed to have attacked herself.

"You triggered my trap card Physical Double, which made Bansieru attack my own Bansieru Token. So I have completely defeated her."

"All I can do is let you go."

"That works for me." 'I have an idea. If she really does have strength like me maybe this card can show me what true powers reside within her.' "Card of Sanctity as you know forces us both to draw until we have six cards. Then I play Swan Maiden so I may summon Valkyrie Greta."

1900/1200

"Then I play Hand Replenish. Now I will discard Valkyrie Reikza, Erste, and Brodi to bring back my first Valkyrie Brunhilde!"

"That will not work for my trap card puts her back in the grave."

"Then I use Hand Replenish to draw three new cards. Now I remove Dritte, Brodi, and Reikza from play to special summon Valkyrie Odunda Queen of the Valkyrie's!"

3100/2400

"This is the end of you Bansieru." 'And where my plan comes in.' "When Odunda is summoned I can bring out Odunda's Chariot but instead I will just play Field Of Recognition," He puts it inside his field zone as Library of Wisdom disappears, "To destroy every monster on both sides of our field and we are not allowed to summon any monster until my next turn. Your move."

"Since you did all that work to bring out a great monster you could have beaten me. So I draw and place down two face-down's and activate Amazon Jungle. Your turn."

'This is it.' "I activate Nibelung's Treasure to draw five new cards. Next I use the spell card Warrior Women From The Sky Haven to pay half of my Life Points to special summon five Valkyrie's from my graveyard, but instead of leaving you high and dry I also use Obliged Hands to force you to play a card from your deck that includes Warrior Women in the title, if you have one?"

"I do!! Warrior Women From The Jungle Wild!"

"By paying half of our Life Points we both have five monsters each," Kraytn announced as he brought back Odunda, Zweite, Brunhilde, Erste, and Greta!"

3100/2400
1600/1600
4800/2000
1600/1800
1900/1200

"Then say hello once again to Amazoness Master Bansieru, Huntress. Swordswoman, Striker, and Fighter!"

3350/2600
1900/1100
2200/1800
2900/1900
2200/1500

"With our incredible forces on the field we shall now see who is stronger. Warrior Women Of The Sky or Warrior Women Of The Jungle!!"

"Just in case you don't know my Amazon Jungle only allows you to attack one Amazoness a turn."

"Then I guess my equip card going on Amazoness Master Bansieru will destroy her after attacking. Shooting Bow Ciel!"

"Amazoness Huntress' effect makes the decrease turn into a gain so you just raised her attack by 1000!!"

"ERRR!! I play Pegasus Wings. For this turn I may reduce Valkyrie Brunhilde's attack in half to attack you directly making your Jungle get overlooked as I will be attacking twice this turn."

"If that is what you want to believe go ahead."

"Now I play Soul Release to remove Sierra, Puc, Dexwil, Vine Whipper, and your other Master Bansieru from the game. Now I play Rainbow Bridge Bifrost to raise Odunda's attack by 5000! Brunhilde attack directly!"

"EH!"

"Now Odunda take down Amazoness Master Bansieru!"

"Her attack is still 4550 so I won't lose."

"But Odunda has 8100!!"

"WHAT!? I did not know!"

"Now take her down!"

"I activate Moon Pool to raise my Life Points by half of Odunda's new strength."

"But it seems Bansieru is gone."

"I use her ability to sacrifice Fighter to save her from destruction."

"Then it is your turn."

"And my win! I summon Amazoness Summoner and use her ability to tribute her and bring out Amazoness Jungle-Queen!"

5000/5000

"The game is over for I use Untamed Wild to bring their strength together as one," The same thing happened as it did when she used it against Yugi. "ATTACK AND WIN ME THE GAME!!"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! !"

"Finally I get what I want," Bansieru implied as three cards flew out of Kraytn's duel disk and Bansieru used some nifty handworks to collect them. "Now I have four Shadow Gate Card's. Soon the whole clan will obey me!!"

Episode 42- Shadow Gate's Collide Part 1

"It is time for the next duel as Shino and Quint are entering the next room of Fairy-Topia," Seto announced as we see the two duelists headed in on a platform. As they went inside everyone watched eagerly hoping to see what new cards Pegasus had given to Shino just before the last match. It also seemed to be getting pretty late in the day as the sun was already beginning to set.

'Do well for me Shino,' Wayne, Risha, Lynn, Bakyru, and Theros thought together as the screen turned on as the two got ready for their match.

"I've been ready to show you a true schooling for quite some time Quint," Shino stated as his rival laughed in his accent.

"I know everything I need to about this game, so how about I be your teacher?"

"I doubt that. With the strength of my friends by my side, not to mention my strong bond with my deck I will get back the Shadow Gate Cards you have taken from my Rogue Group."

"You have so much to say for such a small mouth. Prepare to be taught a new lesson!"

Shino & Quint: "Let's Duel!"

"To decide whose going first I find it only fair to flip a coin," The holo-coin appeared and flipped, "And I think I will call it heads."

"How is that fair? I should have chosen!"

"Don't be a sore loser, after all it is heads," Shino drew as Quint got steamed up. "First off I summon Blast Warrior in attack mode!"

1800/1000

"Then I throw down a face-down."

"My turn! I hope you paid close attention to my last duel because this one will basically start out the same."

"What are you talking about?"

"Just you wait and see. I play Fairies Plantation in defense mode!"

1000/2200

"A great wall always deserves a great first play. Now I place a card face-down and end my turn."

"That was a start? I will wipe the floor with you in no time and show Risha just how cheap you are against girls. Thanks to Pegasus my deck has an all-new edge and with my new Shadow monsters you will be an easy target."

"We shall see for my Fairy's will just fly away from your destruction."

"I activate my trap card Shadow Swinger!" A strong shadowy wind blew Quint's face-down card into pieces.

"THAT CARD WAS SUPPOSE TO HELP ME!!"

"Sorry, but it will be singing a different tune. Now I set one monster face-down and have Blast Warrior attack you with Magical Blast Cannons," He twirled his swords, which were shaped and molded as bombs, as blasts came out of the tips after each twirl.

"But it only has 1800 attack strength!"

"Then maybe I should mention when he attacks he gains an extra 500 boost, so say goodbye to your Plantation."

"AHH! Oh no!"

"That does it for me."

"FINE! Now I will summon Goddess Of Whim."

950/700

"When my Goddess is summoned each and every turn I am able to flip a coin if I choose to and it allows me to either reduce her attack by half or increase it by double. It all depends on if I call it right. I CHOOSE HEADS!"

"Heads it is."

"Now my Goddess grow."

1900/1400

"Since she is stronger than your Blast Warrior I'll have her attack with Whimsical Gaze!"

"My draw. You shouldn't of given me an edge like usual."

"What are you talking about? With my Goddess Of Whim on the field hardly any monsters in your deck will make her meet any kind of match."

"But my face-down monster will. I flip summon Pyrotechnic Summoning Machine! And since his flip effect activates all monsters on the field are immediately destroyed. Then we pick up five cards from our decks and reveal them to each other and summon all monsters with level five or higher to the field," Shino explained as he revealed his hand first which was Jar Of Grad, Trink The Giant Warrior, Breaker The Mystical Magician, Wotan Legend, and Dark Magician.

"It seems I have been given some interesting cards as well," Quint replied with as he shown his cards too and they are Maiden Of Heaven's Light, Guardian Angel Joan, Slicing Edge, Nirvana Drain, and Endless Wind.

"It seems we both get monsters. So I special summon my Trink The Giant Warrior and Dark Magician, courtesy of Yugi himself for being his apprentice!"

2500/1500
2500/2100

"But I get to bring out something lovelier.. Guardian Angel Joan!"

2800/2000

"Now I activate my spell card Jar Of Grad. As long as I have at least two monsters on the field with two different attributes I am allowed to draw three new cards, as long as I give my opponent a chance to draw a card as well." They both drew as a new monster was summoned.

1750/1500

"What kind of creature is that?"

"One that shall help me in a tight spot. Meet one of the cards Pegasus had given me. His name is Chain Catapult Turtle. And on the menu today is... YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL JOAN!"

"But she has 2800 attack!"

"My monsters special ability allows it to immediately destroy a monster it is attacking that has a defense of 2000 or higher. So go now with Catapult Dodge!"

"My beautiful creature."

"Is toast. Now I will have my remaining two monsters attack your Life Points directly!"

"EEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!!!!"

"That does it for me as I throw down three face-downs."

"You want to defeat me but we all know what will be your end. So I place three face-down cards as well and activate Magic Heaven Beacon along with Soul Exchange to tribute your Dark Magician and my Mystical Shine Ball for Maiden Of Heaven's Light!!"

2400/3150

"And since she is in defense mode I am pretty sure your Trink won't be attacking her."

"But you forgot all about my Catapult."

"That was a ritual summoning, don't tell me you forgot I could normal summon as well? I bring forth Dancing Fairy."

1700/1000

"And with my Maiden's effect they gain an additional 1000 stat boost. Now strike down Chain Catapult Turtle with Fairy Dance!"

"Eh! I had to lose a monster to gain a monster so now I activate A Rival Appears to special summon Breaker The Mystical Magician!"

1900/1600

"Thank you for now I play Endless Wind! In the next two turns every card on the field will return to their owners hand and that is when I will take you DOWN!!!"

[SebastiaanZ]

Nice chapter, MetalPharaoh. Nicely done. It seems like you are not far anymore from finishing Season 1 as well. Good job!

[MetalPharoah]

Episode 43- Shadow Gate's Collide Part 2

"In two turns every card on the field returns to our hands thanks to my Endless Wind trap card!"

"For you that could be a big mistake, I summon Channeller Godiva Lv 0!!"

300/0

"I always wondered how you'd lose, and now I know. From choosing minor-league characters such as that one!"

"Wait until you know the hidden powers of my Channeller, then attacking will be your last option. Since she is now on the field it is time I give your hand a make-up lesson so I activate one of my face-down cards, a spell to be precise... Mystical Web-Cannon!"

"What does that do exactly?"

"You take the two cards in your hand and shuffle them back into your deck. Then you take as many cards as you put back into your deck from your graveyard."

"Thank you. Now when Endless Wind is over I am sure to bring out my Maiden once more!"

"Doesn't make much of a difference for now I activate Trink's special ability. When he attacks I may choose him to attack one of my monsters instead."

"You are going to attack yourself!? But why?"

"When I do, I get to draw three new cards at the same time."

"You deceitful little howler monkey!!!"

"Now Trink attack Breaker The Mystical Magician!"

"Hahaha! You will help me by getting rid of your own monsters," Suddenly the smoke was cleared and Breaker was still standing. "HUH!?"

"Once per turn when Breaker is attacked I may remove his spell counter so that he may stay alive. Next I equip Trink with Fusion Sword Murasame Blade, but not before giving Breaker a Lightning Sword of his own."

"Glad to have a turn again. In fact, I am so glad, I activate the Chain-Link Mother Nature Helps Father Time! Now given the chance to flip a coin and if I call it right, well... I get an extra turn. SO GO HEADS!! And look, heads it is. Now when I take my two turns you will have nothing on the field and I shall win! Reveal trap card Nirvana Drain! For each monster on the field I gain 700 new Life Points," He explains as his Life Points rise to 6500.

"Just because you have more Life Points than me right now doesn't mean you understand much of anything."

"It will when I have Dancing Fairy's attack Breaker!"

"I activate my trap card! GO, WOTAN LEGEND! All thanks to Pegasus I get to take control of one of your monsters before your attack goes through and the chosen monster is your new attack. Lets see how your Maiden likes to be bullied!"

"MY LIFE POINTS!"

"Is that all you can muster? Because when you try to take another turn nothing will save you."

"Is that so? Due to my Chain-Link I am granted such an ability, but not before Endless Wind goes to the graveyard as every card on both of our fields goes to our hands."

'This is just too much. Now I am open for direct attacks and my Channeller didn't even have a chance to grow. When she does Quint won't know what hit him!'

"Simpletons. Activate Magic Heaven Beacon and give up Dancing Fairy and Agido to bring forth once again Maiden Of Heaven's Light! You don't stand a chance against her, especially when I play Twilight Of Justice. This is going to hurt for each Fairy-type monster in my graveyard you have to discard a card from your hand, and I count SIX OF 'EM!"

"WHAT!?"

"Oh yes so there goes half of your resources."

'The miracle with the heart of the cards is all I have left. Hopefully my Channeller can do the trick for now.'

"It is time my Maiden, attack him directly with Beam From The Heavens!" She lifted her hands up as the sky opened up the clouds and a light shot down and blasted Shino.

Shino's Life Points: 4000 Quint's Life Points: 6500

"Finally I throw a card face-down and that does it for me."

'This monster cheated his way into this and I won't let that stand.'

"No matter what you get my Maiden is already overbearing. Soon, just as with Risha and your other pathetic friends, you'll lose!"

"I believe you are quite mistaken. Now I re-summon Channeller Godiva Lv 0 and place two cards face-down. That ends my turn."

"You brought that weakling back?"

"Take your turn and find out how weak she is," He stated looking at his monster. It was a purple haired girl, with purple eyes and robes, and she is riding on an oar.

"It looks like luck is not on your side so I summon Kelbek in defense mode."

1500/1800

"And with my Maiden's effect he gains an additional 1000 attack and defense."

2500/2800

"So now I'm in charge of the great divide with offense and defense! I am pretty sure your little Godiva is about to eat her oar. Maiden attack with Beam From The Heavens!"

"You should check my Channeller before you attack."

"What are you talking about?"

"Whenever a monster is summoned she gains 400 attack for each level that monster was and since Kelbek is a four and next.... my Chain-Link FLIGHT FORWARD ALLOWS ME TO SUMMON A MONSTER FROM EITHER GRAVE! Welcome back Trink The Giant Warrior. She's channeling all of this power."

4300/0

"So Maiden is gone!"

"I won't have you disrupting my strategies Shino Magami. Reveal, Anti-Attack Barrier!"

"No cards in your hand must mean my turn. Now as the turn passes Channeller Godiva transforms into Channeller Godiva Lv 3!"

1200/300

"All I had to do was get rid of my Lv 0," The new Channeller has a purple dress with a golden halo on top of its head and its oar changed into an awesome new staff. "Now I throw down two face-down's and that does it for me."

"Not attacking?"

"I will show you why next turn."

"Perfect! And with this is your first loss of the tournament," He drew his card and it began to shine and then dim into nothingness. "What happened? Oh well, I sacrifice my two monsters anyways to summon Shadow Gate Behemoth Master Of All Beasts!"

2700/1000

"You did forget that now my Channeller gains 300 attack for each star the new one has and it looks like a seven!"

3300/300

"Sorry Behemoth, but it seems under Quint's control you've become meaningless during this game."

===========================================

Episode 44- Shadow Gate's Collide Part 3



"When Shadow Gate Behemoth Master Of All Beasts is summoned I can bring out a beast monster from hand, deck, and graveyard, but I only have one beast in my deck! I special summon it in face-down defense mode."

"Channeller Godiva stands up to any of your strategies!"

"I look between the lines. Behemoth attack Trink now!!" The beast clawed at the Giant Warrior as it was destroyed.

"I still lose the extra five hundred for his ability when Behemoth destroys a monster."

"You know all of his effects?"

"He was Risha's and she played him against me before," Shino drew, "AND I KNOW HOW TO TAKE HIM OUT! Now my Channeller evolves," He stated as she transformed into a very pale girl with bat wings, and light blue hair and a pitch-black skirt.

2400/1200

"Channeller Godiva Level 6! Using her ability I summon Breaker The Mystical Magician to increase her attack by 800!"

"I believe I found her weakness."

"What would that be?"

"Each time you summon her next level the attack boost is decreased by 100 for each level. Soon she won't even get a boost. Hahahaha! That is when I will strike."

"You're mistaken! You see soon she will be so strong raising her attack strength won't matter, and its all thanks to Pegasus for giving me her."

'If Pegasus did that then I must concentrate on her right now instead of any other card.'

"Godiva take down Shadow Gate Behemoth with your Terrorful Winglei!"

"AHHHH!!!!"

"Now Breaker attack his face-down monster with your Mystical Slash!"

"HAHAHAHA!! Flip effect activate! You summoned my Triple-Axe Warrior!"

2650/2750

"When he is summoned this way I can destroy up to three of your monsters so say goodbye to both of them!"

"Reveal trap card, Breaker's Goldamor," Suddenly Breaker's spell counter went inside of his armor as he lit up with a huge green glow and two copies of himself appeared and all three Breaker's took the hit of the Axe-Blades.

"What kind of trickery have you pulled?"

"When a monster effect destroys more than one of my monsters this trap card negates its effect by giving up a Breaker on my side of the field with a spell counter so my Godiva remains intact."

"ERRR!!! Don't hold your breath she won't stay out for much longer."

"Good for I end my turn."

"All I can do is throw down a face-down and switch my Axe Warrior into defense mode."

"If you cannot do anything right then don't do it at all!" Shino drew as his Channeller evolved again but this time its hair became a very light blue, bigger wings, and her dress started filling out as she grew bigger breasts. "Meet Channeller Godiva Level 9!"

3300/2400

"You were talking about how I would lose but so far all I see is you cowarding with your only monster in defense mode. I summon Nortius."

1200/1200

"The twist is that my new Spellcaster is unaffected by any card you play no matter if it destroys it from the field."

"HE HAS AN AUTOMATIC FORCEFIELD!?"

"Not only that but he can attack Life Points directly!"

"WHOA!"

"Channeller destroy his Triple-Axe Warrior and now Nortius attack Quint directly!"

"EHHHH!!!"

"Your move!"

'I am getting my butt kicked! I need help and now!' He drew and the card lit up. "It seems I got nothing so take your turn."

"Glad to. Now Channeller Godiva Level 9 it is time to finally transform into your last stage," She began to transform into a tall woman with pure white hair and large wide batwings, and had a rip off shirt that showed her flat stomache. "Channeller Godiva Level 12, and her ability will strike all the fear left within you!"

4200/3300

"And now I sacrifice Nortius to summon SHADOW GATE SWORD DESTROYER ANHIA!!"

2600/3250

"Due to my Channeller's effect-"

"She gains 100 attack strength?"

"Not exactly. You take 500 damage for each level and since it was a six you take 3000!!"

"BUT THAT MEANS I WILL LOSE IF YOU ATTACK ME DIRECTLY!"

"Your pride has blocked your view to duel with your heart and believe in your cards. All you ever thought about was how strong a card was to play it. Well not anymore! It seems that was your fault and so I end this duel. Channeler attack Quint directly!!

"NEGATE ATTACK!!"

"Intriguing. Well take your last and final turn then."

"It will matter for now I activate Graceful Giving to bring out two Graceful Tokens."

300/300

"Now I tribute them both for Shadow Gate Warlord Quazar! Since the monsters I tribut--"

"Are less than 1300 attack each he gains 1000 more attack. You forget who had that card before you."

"Errr!!"

4100/1250

"But Channeller will force you to lose with her ability!"

"NOT THIS TIME!" Chains came out of nowhere and tied up Channeller Godiva Level 12 to the ground and her attack strength died down to 3700.

"I don't understand what you did."

"I used the trap card Chains Of Restriction Bound. The monster loses all of their effects and attack is decreased by 500. Too bad that means she is vulnerable now. Shadow Gate Warlord Quazar attack with Starlight Smash," The giant sword slashed against her as the cut turned into many bright stars. "Your go."

"Your valiant efforts were a waste. I play Decay Spell. Now all of your monsters are reduced to 1000 attack. Shadow Gate Destroyer Anhia attack with Eight-Sword Slash!"

"EEEEOOOOUUUUCHHHH!!!!"

"You may have Life Points left but now I sacrifice my face-down trap card to have him attack again with his special ability!!! Eight Sword Pierce!"

"I CANNOT.... LOOOOOOSE!!!!" Just then the two Shadow Gate's flew out of Quint's disk and into Shino's hand.

"These belong to my friends."

Episode 45- Its A Jungle In Here Part 1


"Since you've taken a bit of damage your life is fading into the Shadow Realm," Bansieru announced to Shino as he was taken back.

"How can this be?"

"Don't you remember I am the Keeper of the Shadow Realm. I make the rules here and you cannot even harm me." You want to know how all of this started? Well it was just after Shino had defeated Quint and the next round was starting.
********

"This is the final duel here in the Kaiba Dome," Seto announced as everyone applauded louder than usual. "May the duelists please come up to the arena," Suddenly Shino and Bansieru walked slowly towards each other from opposite ends. Just then everyone began to chant Shino's name. "It seems we already have someone who you want to win," Seto stated as they all screamed his name and then with a 'yeah!' as the dome filled up with Shino's name. "May the duel commence!" Seto went to sit down as Bansieru looked hard at Shino.

"I have been waiting millennium's for this moment and no little brat is going to take that away from me," She implied.

"I beat you before in our last duel I am sure I can do the same to you right now."

"That was then," She lifted her duel disk, "And this is now!"

"It is time we start the duel!" Then they both activated their duel disks.

"Knowing where I came from and who I am now you should notice that things will not be as they seemed in your previous duels with anyone," Bansieru said as Shino got confused.

"Why do you say that?"

"Allow me to introduce you to the worst duel ever."

"SHE ISN'T!" Seto shouted as everyone was stirred hearing him, as he noticed he still had the microphone on.

"Is this what I think it is Yug," Joey asked Yugi as he nodded.

"Another Shadow Game," Serenity whined.

"This will finally test Shino's true strength as my successor," Yugi stated as they all agreed.

"Yeah but I thought that the Shadow Realm was closed forever."

"Nothing is forever Serenity," Tristan answered with.

"Well if this is going to start the end of the world again I just am not going to let that happen," Serenity implied as she got a stern look onto her face.

"You cannot do this," Seto stated to Bansieru as she looked and laughed at him.

"You fool! This is your tournament and there are no rules stating I cannot take us into the Shadow Realm," She replied with as Seto's eyes got smaller.

"What do you mean us? I thought the Shadow Realm could only be opened when a few people are on a platform or small area?"

"My powers are the Shadow Realm you mortal! I will take the entire Kaiba Land of Europe into the Shadow Realm and no one shall stop me!! Now watch as we enter the ultimate Shadow Realm Game!"

"Wasn't Bakura the one who had that Yugi," Tristan asked Yugi this time.

"She is the keeper this is far more than he could ever imagine."

"FROM THE SKIES THAT WE FALL ENTER THE SHADOW REALM ALL!!!"

"You cannot do this to us!"

"I already told Seto that I could and now we are in the Shadow Realm," She mentioned as everyone looked around at the weird purple-darkness of the Shadow Realm's aura. It seemed she was not playing any games this time. "I want the Shadow Gate Cards and I want them now so in order to get them we will play a little Shadow Game. The rules are simple. Whenever we lose Life Points we get weaker by a weird effect, but they shall be random instead of just one simple thing. So let me introduce you to your pure soul," Bansieru pointed her finger at Shino's side and he turned around as we see his Soul hanging besides him looking weak. "Already your mortal body is beginning to feel the dark energy of this Realm. Soon you won't be able to stand it and I will be victorious!"

"Just get on with the duel," Shino yelled as he drew and went first. "I throw down a face-down and summon Blast Warrior in attack mode!"

1800/1000

"Hmph, my girls will have fun playing with you! I summon Amazoness Mage."

500/1500

"Then I place two cards face-down and have Amazoness Mage attack your Blast Warrior!!"

"Not so quickly!"

"What is going on here?"

"Toy-Top Foyer is going on here!" As he said that Amazoness Mage was lifted up off the ground and started floating and began to spin rapidly.

"What are you doing to my poor baby?"

"She is being judged for controlled by the Shadow Realm Keeper this card takes any card you attack me with become unstable. After they are spun around their attack goes through, but who will she attack? You, or me? The one she does attack is the person she is forced to attack every turn no matter what."

"My dear!!" As she spun down the Mage began to twirl her baton around. SMACK!! "How could you do this to your own mother?"

"It looks like you have two monsters to deal with now."

"Not for long! Your move."

"It seems you are the one whose being weakened by this battle. Not me." A new monster appeared onto the field.

2200/100

"Just wait a bit longer and you'll begin to feel this realms power."

"Now with Kamikaze Warrior on the field I play a union monster and equip him with it, Miniature Payload Missiles."

100/100

"Now attack Amazoness Mage with Kamikaze Wind!"

"Dramatic Rescue shall save my mind-warped monster and bring out Amazoness Tiger."

1500/1500

"Not to mention your attack failed."

"Oh did it? I seem to think differently."

Episode 46- Its A Jungle In Here Part 2



"Since my Warrior's attack went through his ability kicks in. Now you see him," Kamikaze Warrior was then destroyed, "Now you don't."

"What are these three new little Warrior's doing out?"

"When he attacks Kamikaze Warrior is immediately destroyed and since Miniature Payload Missiles was equipped to him when he is destroyed I get to special summon three Warrior Token's to the field in attack mode."

1250/850
1250/850
1250/850

"So now Blast Warrior strike down your new target. His ability allows him to gain 500 attack strength right now!"

"Sorry Tiger but I must let you go," Bansieru stated as the Tiger roared and was destroyed.

"Now for my three Warrior Token's to attack and bring you a big helping of Life Point reduction!"

"As if that is ever going to happen, reveal trap card! Call Of The Amazons," As the trap card activated one of the Warrior Tokens ended up attacking Amazoness Swordswoman and was destroyed. "Got anymore bright ideas?"

1500/1600

"It seems you have tricked me again."

"That is what I always do."

"I would say no. Your move."

"What a delightful little duel we are having. Soon I will attack you successfully and that is when your soul partner will be fed to the hungry shadows of the dark," She drew her card and then activated a new spell card we never seen before.

"What is that?"

"Oh this," She pointed to her spell card on the holofield, "It is what I call Direct Advising. Whenever my opponent uses an effect that alters my monsters attacks from where they originally were going to strike it just negates your effect and go for the hit."

"UH!"

"That means your Toy-Top Foyer is in play for absolutely no reason. Now meet another of my beauties as I summon Amazoness Broad Blader."

1800/1000

"When she is successfully summoned I get to play an equip card from my deck and I believe that this calls for a little boosting celebration! I give her an Amazon Dagger raising her attack strength by 300."

2100/1000

"That is more than enough to wipe you clean."

"Don't you ever be quiet?"

"WHAT!?"

"You are all talk and no play. Well if I thought you were so great that you did not need to say anything so come on. ATTACK ME THEN!"

"That does it!! Broad Blader attack Blast Warrior with your Blade Edge!"

"Ooohh.... Why, do I.... feel... so weak?"

"Since you've taken a bit of damage your life is fading into the Shadow Realm," Bansieru announced to Shino as he was taken back.

"How can this be?"

"Don't you remember I am the Keeper of the Shadow Realm. I make the rules here. And next Swordswoman destroy his second Warrior Token!"

"AHHHHHH!!!!!" Just then Shino fell to the ground as everyone got surprised and rised from their seats to see if he was alright.

"You have only taken a small amount of damage and you are already beginning to feel even weaker than before due to your human soul being trapped in the Shadow Game."

"I can.... manage," He replied getting back up with hesitation.

"I hope you can, for it is now your turn," Bansieru stated as he drew weakly from his deck, looked at his card, and smiled.

"Your days were numbered."

300/0

"Channeller Godiva Lv 0."

"That is nothing but fodder for my women."

"Not when I... play... THIS!" He tried getting his full strength back, "Level Up! allows me to sacrifice my Godiva for an even stronger one."

1200/300

"Channeller Godiva Lv 3. And now I switch Warrior Token to defense mode after throwing down a face-down. That does it for me."

"Pathetic! With someone that weak out I am sure to win. Now feel the full wrath of my Amazoness! My move and I bring back Amazoness Mage in attack mode."

500/1500

"Now attack Channeller Godiva Lv 3, Broad Blader!"

"Your attack is thwarted with Attack Balance. Now for each time an opponents monster attacks they must choose to either allow one of my defense position monsters to attack or end their Battle Phase."

"That doesn't seem so hard."

"Oh but I did not tell you the rest. If my defense position monster has more than 1000 attack you take double the damage."

"ERRR!!!"

"So what do you say?"

"Your Warrior Token may attack then," She replied with as the token kicked her in the head. "Now, where was I? Oh yes, Broad Blader take down Godiva!"

"You never pay attention to my monsters."

"What are you rambling about?"

"When you summoned your Mage, Godiva gained 300 attack and defense for each level your Amazoness Mage was."

2400/1700

"So say goodbye to your Broad Blader."

"I place a card face-down."

"Good for after I draw," Channeller Godiva started to change like it did when he dueled against Quint, "She transforms into Channeller Godiva Lv 6."

2400/1200

"With a base attack like this I am sure things will tend to get a little messy."

"You might think that but attack and find out. I am not playing anymore games or dueling as you might have thought. In this Shadow Realm I control everything and with my laws also comes my goals as now I activate a new rule. This one is called Defiance. When I have less Life Points than my opponents I am allowed to offer any monster on my field as a tribute to gain 2000 more, but I also get to replace my monster with a new Amazoness. So you see I will never be defeated for I make the rules here kid and when it comes right down to it. YOUR ONLY SECOND BEST!! HAHAHAHA!!!"

Episode 47- Its A Jungle In Here Part 3


"I tribute Amazoness Mage to gain 2000 Life Points and now I get to Special Summon an Amazoness of level 4 or lower to the field from my deck so I bring out Amazoness Fighter."

1500/1300

"That doesn't mean anything to me. Godiva use your Wild Charm on Fighter!"

"You do know I don't take any damage and since a monster was summoned your Godiva is more powerful than before allowing me access to activate my trap card Moon Pool! Now I gain Life Points equal to half of your Godiva's attack strength."

"I end my turn."

"Great! Now things are looking up. With my own rules I believe that chit chatter is no longer needed so I am going for the all-out kill!!"

"What do you mean?"

"I have taken it easy on your for far too long. Now is the time I act sincere. I play Warrior Women From The Jungle Wild to bring back Amazoness Mage, Fighter, Tiger, and Broad Blader to the field. I sacrifice two Amazoness girls to bring forth Shadow Gate Blasteron!"

2900/2000

"Godiva gains more attack due to her effect Bansieru! So special summoning all of those helps me out."

"That will not matter for long. I use my second rule Gravitation to decrease any of my monsters attacks to zero to negate an increasing effect for this turn so Swordswoman you get shafted honey. Blasteron Omega Flare," As the beam went through her Godiva's attack was dropped to 1900 and then the beam came back and engulfed her completely destroying her. "Now with that trash out of the way the real fun can begin. Attack his Warrior Token for good Amazoness Tiger! And finally Broad Blader take a little Life Points for mommies sake," She nodded and attacked Shino directly. "Now with my second rule I give up my Swordswoman to gain another 2000 Life Points."

Bansieru's Life Points: 4625 Shino's Life Points: 4400

"This allows me to Special Summon Amazoness Chain Master from my deck!"

1500/1300

"Your go."

'This is going to be hectic but I must make this draw count,' Shino thought as he picked up his new card. "This should do the trick."

"What are you yapping about?"

"I play the Rift Plane spell card. Which allows me to bring back a monster from my graveyard that includes LV in the title."

"So you get back your Godiva. What's new?"

"She instantly gets to be leveled up automatically if I have a higher level in my deck. So I bring out Channeller Godiva Lv 9!!"

3300/2400

"Your days of reckoning have arrived. With your Tiger on the field I believe Blasteron will feel her wrath. Attack Shadow Gate Blasteron Godiva with your Whimsical Gaze!"

"AHH!" Blasteron was blown away as Bansieru shielded herself from the shredded pieces.

"To finish things off I play Mystical Space Typhoon to rid the field of your Direct Advisor once and for all!"

"That is very comforting. But soon none of it will matter because I feel this deck of mine won't fail me anymore!"

"Then take your turn."

"Glad to, you little brat. You see with my two rules in play at any moment I get to do as I wish."

"Then why have I destroyed a Shadow Gate Card?"

"Only due to my liking. I needed to make sure you felt secure enough to pull out the third Shadow Rule!"

"ANOTHER!?"

"You seem surprised and with what I have in store for you I would be too."

'I might not make it. I already feel too weak as it is from this Shadow Game so far. If I do much more I could lose the tournament completely.'

"Defiance, Gravitation, and finally Administer," Just then Bansieru had Amazoness Swordswoman back on the field.

"What... happened?"

"Administer allows me to replay a monster that was once tributed by a Shadow Rule after the turn it was released."

"Eh..."

"Pretty neat isn't it?"

"I seen better."

"HOW DARE YOU! I play Pot Of Greed to draw two new cards and then I use Gift Of The Martyr. You see when I play this card I get to choose one of my monsters as a tribute and increase any monster I wish with the amount of that creatures attack. I give up Broad Blader for my Tiger to gain, but before I do so I decrease my Chain Master's attack to zero so your Channeller does not gain anything this turn for what I have done so far. Do you like my Tiger now?"

4100/2700

"Just enough for your Godiva to die."

"You must remember.... something. My... Toy-Top Foyer makes... it to where you cannot... attack unless it lets you."

"What's the matter Shino? You look a little flushed. Is my Shadow Game too much for you? Well no matter I will win soon enough. As for your card I am fully aware of it. I have not forgotten. Now Tiger attack!!" She began to float into the air and spinning. When she landed down she began to raise a gigantic paw up to Shino's monster. 'Yes! She has obeyed me!' Just then she swiped away Swordswoman. "WHAT!?"

"Looks like your tricks... are... not... working."

"THIS CANNOT BE!"

"It is!"

"Well then I use Gravitation to give up Amazoness Chain Master and gain 2000 Life Points and Special Summon Blowpiper."

800/1500

"Then I place a card face-down. The shows all yours, kid."

"Since it is... my turn," Channeller Godiva leveled up again, "Channeller Godiva Lv 12 in attack mode."

4200/3300

"She... is no.... pushover."

"I can see that." 'Not only that but she is too strong for any of my creatures to take down except Bansieru. I need to draw her in order to win, and I think I have the proper card to do so.'

"Channeller attack... Tiger, now," He said weakly as Amazoness Tiger cried out.

"That was just luck. But soon it will not be on your side for I activate Draining Strike!"

"Then I end my turn."

"Now I activate the spell card I placed face-down, Amazoness Spellcaster to switch your monsters attack with my own, but not before bringing back Amazoness Chain Master."

"EFFECT ACTIVATE!"

"What effect? Your attack gaining one? I will just us-"

"Sorry... but this... is no.... attack... gaining... ability."

"Then what is it?"

"You take damage... equal... to the monsters... level."

"How hideous! She shall be taken care of shortly!"

"With what? Toy-Top Foyer stops.... attacks.... if wrong."

"Not with my new card I drew! I play Amazoness Training Whip," Suddenly Chain Master was holding this super long whip, "This allows me to destroy up to three spell or trap cards on the field but I choose yours!" Suddenly the long whip slashed its way over to Shino's trap card and smashed it away. "With nothing defending you from my attacks things are looking up. Soon the tides will turn and a Shadow World will belong to me!"

[SebastiaanZ]

So here I am again still surprised there are not more readers wanting to read this fic. Nice chapters so far. I especially like these LV-Monsters you created. I really liked it. Bansieru is good, very good, but I think Shino can win this. I will be back.

Episode 48- Its A Jungle In Here Part 4


"You are defenseless Shino, and since my Amazoness has switched her attack with your Channeller, nothing will stop me!"

"You are wrong," He stated in a soft voice.

"Chain Master attack Channeller Godiva!"

"That will not work," He held up a card from his hand. "Second Gateway!!" Amazoness Chain Master's chain seemed to have disappeared into a weird dark hole.

"What have you done?"

"Ask your Amazoness."

"Huh," She looked over at Chain Master and just then her chain came out behind Blowpiper and destroyed her. "I attacked myself!?"

"Second Gateway not only stops your attack on me but has your monster attack another monster on the field of my choice."

"In this case I use Defiance to tribute my Amazoness Chain Master to gain 2000 more Life Points and in her place will be Amazoness Paladin in defense mode."

1800/300

"Godiva forces you to take 500 damage for each level the newly summoned monster is."

"So I lost everything I gained!"

"Yes and now for my turn I shall have Godiva attack your Paladin. Dark Razor! That does it for me."

'I drew nothing!' "I set a card."

"It is a pity you are locked into position," Shino said as he drew Polymerization. 'I will have to wait to use this card.' "In the meantime I seem to be gaining my strength back and that is not all."

"What are you talking about now?"

"You're wide open. If my Channeller attacks you directly I will win this duel. Godiva take her down with your Dark Razor!!"

"Think again! Draining Shield negates your attack and increases my Life Points by your monsters strength. Better luck next time," Bansieru chuckles after drawing her card. "Now I activate Raigeki to destroy Channeller Godiva Lv 12!" A bolt of lightning hit the Godiva and she was destroyed.

"Uh!"

"Next will be you Shino."

"I am not the one with no cards in my hand or the field."

"You think that makes me afraid of losing? I still have my shadow rules and with Clarity comes the time. For you see when I destroy an opponents monster by the effect of a spell card and have no cards in my hand or on the field I can draw two new cards during my second Main Phase." As she does this Shino seems to worry.

"No matter what you do I have something that will turn this duel around one more time."

"I would not put my hope in a single chance. Now I summon a new Amazoness Tiger and set a card face-down. Now prove to me that things are about to change."

"I don't even have to explain it to you Bansieru for evil always falls to a greater good."

"How can you believe in such fairy tales? I have been alive in the Shadow Realm since the beginning of time. I have always been locked away here and those monsters you want so bad are not really monsters, of course you know that. Once they were alive and caged me away into the bitter darkness. Well not anymore! So trust me when I say that you will lose!"

"Your way of life is depressing so I will bring a little of Jaden into this. You see he loves to use Polymerization so much that I learned a thing or two about it myself. In fact I use it right now to fuse together my Cyber Jar and Pyrotechnic Summoning Machine to bring out the new and improved Cybertech Pyro-Jar face-down in defense."

"I don't really see what that matters for my Amazoness will add it to her slaughter!"

"When the time comes you will begin to see. That is when I will defeat you."

"Is Shino really going to be able to do anything with that new monster," Risha asked as Bakyru answered her.

"It is a new card that Pegasus had given him. I am sure that its quite advanced for this duel and if it has anything to do with Cyber Jar and Pyrotechnic Summoning Machine it will be devastating to Bansieru's plans of attack."

"Where was I? Oh yes, about to take you down. Amazoness Tiger attack his face-down monster and make sure it has a warm welcome to the graveyard! Tiger Claw!"

"Flipping my monster face-up activates its effect," Shino exclaimed as the new creature was brought out onto the field. It looked like Cyber Jar but with skinny machine-type legs and a huge black face popped out of the top. "He is quite deadly for when Cybertech Pyro-Jar is flipped face-up all cards on the field are automatically destroyed, including your face-down. Then we both pick up the top five cards of our decks. All monsters are immediately special summoned to the field and the rest of the cards remain in our hands. But we both must reveal to one another all five cards. I will go first. Magician of Everlasting Light, Shadow Gate Warlord Quazar, Braze Magician, Star Detonation, and Phantasm Calling. By the effect of Cybertech Pyro-Jar he stays on the field so if I got five monsters I cannot summon them all, but as you can see I am just alright. Now I summon Magician of Everlasting Light, Warlord Quazar, and Braze Magician in attack mode."

1900/1300
1100/200
3100/1250

"My turn! I received Amazoness Vine Whipper, Amazon Jungle, Amazoness Tamer, Monster Reincarnation, and Polymerization. That means I get to bring out Vine Whipper and Tamer all in defense mode."

800/1900
1200/1500

"Now the true events in this duel shall occur, for you see Shino I have strung you all along. Using your monsters abilities I have completed all the cards I will need to bring you down. Now face my true destiny!"

"I doubt you could maneuver something that quickly."

"You are about to see the speed of my deck. Since my Tamer was special summoned I can play Tamer's Whip from my deck and equip it onto her. Next I activate Monster Reincarnation. By discarding the Amazoness Striker I drew earlier this turn I can take Amazoness Tiger back into my hand," As she did this Monster Reincarnation appeared in its holo-form as the Tiger soared back into Bansieru's hand.

"No matter what you do I still have the strongest monsters."

"Warlord Quazar is just a mere one monster to be afraid of. I can take care of him."

"You do not understand. Magician of Everlasting Light forces all of your monsters to be Light attributes."

"I hardly see the point, little boy. Just watch as I use Polymerization to fuse my Tamer and Tiger together. Welcome in Amazoness Tamed Tigress!!"

2700/3000

"To finish my move I activate Amazon Jungle."

"It seems with my strength back and your weaker monsters I will win this and get back the Shadow Gate Card's you have taken away."

"Your field could be completely filled with massive-beasts. It no longer makes any difference. As long as Amazon Jungle is in play all of my Amazon and Amazoness monsters gain an additional 200 attack and defense boost and it forces you to only attack one Amazon or Amazoness monster a turn. So I believe I am pretty safe from your tough creatures."

"I would think otherwise. I place a card face-down. Now Warlord Quazar attack Amazoness Tamed Tigress with your Starlight Smash!"

"AHHH!!!" She began to become weaker and her spirit seemed to have dimmed a little. "MY MOVE! You seem to have left my Vine Whipper alone. That was a mistake. Don't you remember her effect?"

"I must have forgotten."

"Which will cost you. I now equip three Electro Whip's on her from my deck raising her attack even more!"

1900/2100

"Plus she can attack directly!!" The vine whip's went under the ground and came up around Shino's monsters and hit his body. "Now I activate my infamous card known as Wild Woman. This makes the three Whip's she holds become six. Why did I not do this earlier and win? You shall see. For not only do I want to win but I want you to suffer my wrath. Soon you will lose and that is when I will strike you with the deadliest blow!"

Episode 49- Its A Jungle In Here Part 5


"Now please, see if you can get up and take your obviously last turn," Bansieru said as Shino engulfed in flames.

"Ehh!!"

"It seems the Shadow Game has a new feel for you. But I do advise you to get up or else I will make you," She held out her long Shadow Blade and with it she raised Shino to his feet from the ground.

"Leave me alone! I can do this myself," Shino replied as he drew his next card.

'This duel won't go on much longer. Soon I shall take the remaining Shadow Gate Cards as my own. You see Great Beasts of the Shadow Gate I am going to win and have what I wanted all along! Then everyone will be my servants.'

"It is time to get my game back on once and for all!!!"

2600/1500

"I tributed my Cybertech Pyro-Jar along with Braze Magician to summon Different Dimensional Hunter to the field in attack mode. Next I use his summoning ability to play Sprite Jar from my deck."

"And what exactly is this new creature going to do with that little jar of his," She stated pointing at the Sprite Jar he now held onto his side.

"He will show you the end!"

"Then lets see," Bansieru replied with widening her eyes in interest.

"When Different Dimensional Hunter is summoned to the field his ability takes effect. You see, when he is either in my hand or deck I can have five D.D. Sprite's in my deck, and now that he is in play, I am forced to take two of those and send them to the graveyard. Due to my Hunter's other effect with Sprite Jar on my field they automatically go into the Jar as Hunter's special catch of the day." Then the little sprites begin to knock on the jar trying to get out. "Next I play the card Foolish Burial. This allows me to pick a monster from my deck and send it to the graveyard, but how about I choose another D.D. Sprite?"

"What are they going to do? I only see you throwing more cards out of your deck."

"Did you forget? Oh, I am sorry, I never explained to you that my Hunter gains abilities due to the number of Sprites in the jar. Too bad for you when he is summoned I am allowed to choose another D.D. Sprite to add to the jar, making it four in total!" The Sprite Jar that Hunter held began to fill up as they all looked at each other in amazement. "Now he is a force to be reckoned with!"

"I do not see any difference. What are you trying to pull?"

"I am afraid to say there is none yet. All I have to do is activate my trap card. GO!! True Dimension! This removes any card on the field from the game and I choose..... your Amazoness Vine Whipper!"

"No!! Without her I cannot stop your attacks!!"

"Which means that Sprite Jar and my Hunter have to wait before getting their own game on. Now Warlord Quazar attack Bansieru directly!! Starlight Smash!"

"You might have thought I would be that easy but I do not think so. I activate another Shadow Rule. By giving up the rights to use the first three rules for the remainder of the duel I gain 3000 Life Points when you attack with a monster of 2000 attack or higher!"

"No!!"

"Yes, so I did not lose much."

"If that is the case everyone else attack her directly!"

"I still seem to have enough Life Points to not be afraid of your monsters. Now with this new card I draw I can do anything I desire. I use Magical Stone Excavation to take Warrior Women From The Jungle Wild back into my hand from the graveyard. The thing is I cannot use it this turn. Your move."

"I place one card face-down and have my three monsters attack you once more."

"I gain 6000 before any damage is calculated. Now it is my turn to finally destroy you as I bring forth every monster of your ultimate demise!!"

"Uh oh."

"I activate Warrior Women From The Jungle Wild to bring back Amazoness Tiger, Amazoness Striker, Amazoness Swordswoman, Amazoness Paladin, and Amazoness Broad Blader! Together they shall take you down right now!!"

3100/1500
2200/1200
1500/1600
2200/300
1800/1100

"For my final plan is to be revealed! I play the superior power of the one and only Untamed Wild. Now all of my Amazoness monsters join together as one massive attacking force and strike Shino DOWN!!" As they formed Shino screamed as he was hit with an ultimate slash that dropped his Life Points to zero. "Now the end has finally come," Bansieru implied as the remaining Shadow Gate Cards flew out of Shino's deck and into Bansieru's hand. "For with theses beasts, the Great Beasts that once left me imprisoned in the Shadow Realm are under my control and with them I will create my own world. The ultimate SHADOW WORLD! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Now I will begin to bring your world and my own world together for the ultimate darkness and light shine as one radiant force!!" Bansieru shouted as everything turned back to normal, except a strange darkness shining behind the clouds above everyone's head in the Kaiba Dome.

"What are you doing you witch," Seto asked her getting up from his seat.

"Do not be too alarmed Kaiba I am only going to give this place a makeover."

"You fiend! How can you do this? What have we ever done to you?"

"Well, to think of one example. You lived in this world for years and no one ever knew I existed. So lonely was I until the one day a Pharaoh dropped into my world. He seemed to have been involved with something dark and powerful. Right then I understood there was a way to be released from my prison. After a naive girl had been taken in by the shadows I noticed something. She was holding a strange deck of cards. I had asked her and she taught me everything about Duel Monsters so that I may return her soul and shadow back with her human body. She was the only human I ever cared for because she gave me a glimpse of what I could have had. No, what I would someday get!!"

"Haven't you found out why you were there in the Shadow Realm," Yugi asked as he was seen walking up behind Seto Kaiba.

"Why yes. The Creator had told me I was the guardian of the Shadow Realm. Except that wasn't enough. I WANTED MORE!!"

"Not even your master could withhold himself against the great darkness that was once contained in the Shadow Realm."

"What are you talking about?"

"I have seen your master when I went into the Pharaoh's memories. Most likely the same Pharaoh you are speaking of now."

"How do you--"

"You creator's name was Zorc Master Of The Shadows!"

"WHAT!? You know his name!? I never found out what he looked like or who he really was. He only told me he created me to protect the Shadow Realm. I had not been someone to just lock away without mercy."

"But Zorc tried to do what you were doing just now. To take the world as his own and destroy it."

"Hmph. So my master had a dark side. That is very amusing."

"What you are not getting is that even though what Yugi is telling you is true that your fate will be the same as Zorc's," Shino had implied as Bansieru turned around to look at him.

"I just won the remaining Great Beasts of the Shadow Gate. Do you understand what it is like to have them reborn into something that is not even half of their original strength? They are the ones who will give me what I had wanted long ago and still desire. Not even my Creator Zorc could have changed my mind."

"Then we are all doomed," Seto sneered as he was about to punch Bansieru with his fist as he stopped in mid-punch.

"Your feeble human mind is easy to control with my Shadow Blade," She had stated holding it up. "I now call upon the seven Great Beasts to open the almighty Shadow Gate that keeps both of the worlds locked in two! OPEN AND REVEAL MY OWN SHADOW WORLD!" Bansieru held up the seven Shadow Gate Cards and suddenly they flew out of the card pictures and into the air and became alive as they once had been. Suddenly beams came out of each of them and went into a weird hole in the Shadow Gate that had just appeared locked up. "Now open the seal and release darkness into this world once and for all!! YOU ARE MY SERVANTS NOW! BOW BEFORE ME!!"

"I am sorry lady but I bow to no one," Seto stated back as she looked at him with her blade in hand.

"I cannot force you to be my servant since the Shadow Blade only works against what I command not what I desire. Be lucky human that I am not destroying you and this world."

"You have to stop this!" Risha shouted as Bakyru held onto her.

"Don't be discouraged I am sure we can get through this."

"Bakyru's right. Yugi has been through tons of stuff like this before and he always saved the world not to mention the day as well," Wayne replied with as Theros wondered what Bansieru's spirit must have felt being trapped for so long.

'So much regret. And yet her master Zorc still tried to do what he wanted her not to. It just makes no sense! Unless!!' Theros had thought as he figured it out and jumped off the stadium and down where Yugi and Seto had been with a lot of other poeple now. "Zorc--" Theros began to say as he was cut off and the world began to shake.

"Oh no look guys," Tea muttered as Serenity, Joey, Tristan and everyone else looked at the sky where the Shadow Gate had been opening up.

"This is not good," Joey said as everything began to shake harder.

"Shadow Gate open yourself to bring upon the greatest change for this world I could only before dream of doing!" Bansieru shouted out again as the darkness beamed out of the gate and right behind her filling up the human world with great darkness that the sky started to become as black as pitch.

"Yugi, Seto, it was not Zorc--" Theros had began as Yugi and Seto turned around as everything went dark and they could not see anything or anyone.

"It is not time for you to bother my ceremony kid," Bansieru replied as she was the only one covered in a simple light that was illuminating from the Shadow Gate's outer-rim, "I could care less what my master has done, or will do, just that I am getting what I truly longed and yearned for centuries over centuries!! Now let the true darkness tie which binds us all together!!"

Episode 50- Malik Returns


"Let that which ties us together bind as one," Bansieru screamed at the top of her lungs as the world began to plunge into darkness from the Shadow Gate.

"What are we going to do," Tea asked trying to look around as everything was so black nothing could have been seen except for the still small light on Bansieru.

"I wish I knew but I cannot even see ya let alone try to make out what Yug is goin ta do to help," Joey responded with as we make out a faint light surrounding the human world and beginning to mix with the darkness.

"Something strange is happening," Serenity implied as the blackness dimmed down.

"You are just noticing this," Tristan retorted with being sarcastic as normal.

"No look!" She pointed to the sky outside of the Kaiba Dome that became more of what she knew was the Shadow Realm.

"As you can see everyone our worlds are joining and this new purpleness combined with your blue skies make a glorious indigo that seems to transform into a beautiful scene," Bansieru interrupted everyones talk as she went on.

"You cannot do this! Yugi and Seto look at me I have something to tell you," Theros spoke out again as Yugi and Seto looked at him in concern for what he was about to tell them.

"Zorc is not who you think he was. It wasn't--"

"THAT IS ENOUGH OF YOU!" Bansieru shreiked holding her Shadow Blade towards Theros. "Not only will you stop bothering my beautiful servants but for now until my new world is created your body will be frozen in a time rift. Hope you have a good snooze," She ended with as Theros began to cover in some weird greenish light.

"Why you," Seto yelled out as Bansieru held her finger out implying he must not speak to his master that way.

"Now is not the time for shouting my young and soon to be faithful servant. I will tell you when to speak after the ceremony of transformation is complete. Until then keep quiet and watch me at work." Just then she used some weird type of movement that made the top of the Dome disappear and the air began to fill everyone's breath.

"This can't be happening. Without the Pharaoh I am not sure what we can do," Yugi said as Seto listened to him and suddenly one of the members that crowded them had began to speak up.

"You're wrong!"

"That voice," Seto stated as someone came out of the crowd.

"It can't be!" Yugi shouted as he seen Bakura come out of the crowd.

"It is Yugi. I am sorry for what almost happened in the past last time we have seen each other. It was quite the trip to have been used by the thief that had taken control of me and then Zorc," Bakura began to say as everyone listened in.

"Isn't that your brother," Lynn spoke for the first time in quite a while pointing down to where Bakura stood.

"You are right," Bakyru answered her as he got surprised. "Hold on to Risha for me. She is really exhausted."

"Where are you going," Wayne asked.

"To see what my brother is here for," He answered and jumped down to the crowd running through it to see his brother.

"When Zorc was defeated by the Pharaoh's name it was in the past. This, as you know, is that times future where Bansieru now wants to control. Since she wanted what he wanted I believe that her powers are also locked within the remaining secrets of the shadows," Bakura began with as Bakyru stepped besides him.

"Big brother do you know something that everyone else does not know involving this strange woman?"

"Yes, Bakyru, I do."

"Oh!" Yugi gasped.

"AH!" Seto gasped.

"UH!" Everyone else in the crowd gasped as they heard just what Bakura was talking about.

"If you know then there is no time to waste," Seto said with great emphasis.

"I know that what she wants is always what she should get," Bakura replied to Seto with.

"What kind of riddle is that!?"

"After being away studying the Shadow Realm I found out a lot about it. That whatever comes out of it and what it desires is what the creature deserves to get. After it gets what it wants then it can be destroyed for its will of desire has been fulfilled."

"I don't get it," Yugi said rubbing the back of his head in confusion.

"Let me explain it to you Yugi. Bansieru is from the Shadow Realm and desired to get out and control both worlds for her loneliness. After she gets her own world she will also have her old Shadow Realm advantages but not only that... but, she will have her old disadvantages."

"I get it," Shino implied as Bakura smiled at him.

"Please enlighten us," Seto asked.

"If we can find out what her disadvantages are while in the Shadow Realm then the Shadow World will also have changed her disadvantages to make them even greater since her world has been disfigured. It is the rules of unbalance."

"That makes sense," Stated Yugi.

"But how do we find out what her disadvantages are," Seto asked as everyone looked puzzled.

"I hope you guys are having a wonderful conversation," Bansieru began to speak once again as the Shadow World she was creating started taking more effect. "At the look of things you will never find out about my disadvantages. No one has ever known that lives and no one will find out. So don--" Suddenly her Shadow Blade started to light up with pure darkness as the Shadow Gate's opening became even wider almost completely opened. "My blade!" She looked at it as the shadows inside went into the vortex of the Shadow Realm. "I am losing all of my shadows? How is this possible?"

"Looks like the ceremony has more to it than you had thought Bansieru," Seto implied as she looked angry.

"The Shadow Realm must need the shadows of the ones I have gathered to become one with your world. Even though I am surprised if its necessary then I really have no choice." She held the Shadow Blade up as the shadows from the souls who lost a duel flew into the Shadow Realm. The beams from the shadows then began to fill up the earth with the Shadow Realm making the indigo darkness become even more solid. "Now the Shadow World is here! You are all going to be my servants. He who wishes not to be say so now and I will lay them to rest." A shadow flew out of the Shadow Gate as the new world was completed and it flew into Shino taking control of his body.

"If you must lay them to rest than let me be the first to lay you down to sleep."

"MALIK!?"

"Releasing the shadows was a bad idea for now I may still be a darkened soul but that does not mean I am afraid of you. I want revenge for what you did to me. NOBODY DEFEATS ME!!"

"Why would I duel you again when I have control over you?"

"Are you sure about that? You forget that I know your secret. You had told me when we first dueled."
********

"I'm Bansieru... Keeper of the Realm. You have something I want and desire."

"What exactly is that?"

"Your shadow!" She looked at him hard as he seemed a little frightened.

"I am a lost soul how can you get my shadow?"

"Each body contains a soul and once that soul is removed from the body the soul has something inside of it which makes it have free will. I call it a shadow."

"How can you get it from me if I choose not to give it to you?"

"We shall duel for it!" Her duel disk activated as Dark Marik noticed a disk flashed onto his arm as well.

"I do not duel for anyone."

"Being the Keeper Of The Shadow Realm there are laws here that I control. Now face me Dark Marik!"

"Dark Marik? Hahahahaha! Call me Malik!"
********

"So you see if you have laws that you control then there was also a law that controls you as well. If I had to duel you because you say so then.... YOU MUST DUEL ME FOR I ASK OF YOU KEEPER OF THE REALM!!"

"NO!!! HOW DID YOU FIND OUT!?"

"Laws do not go for just one person as I have stated. SO NOW FACE ME IN A DUEL AND WE SHALL SEE WHO IS THE TRUE VICTOR!!"

======================================

Episode 51- Mimic Dragon God Ra



As Bansieru and Malik's duel disks activated they shuffled their decks and placed them into the proper compartments.

"What is this going to prove," Mokuba asked with curiosity.

"This might be a lesson that Malik wants us to figure out," Yugi answered.

"Or he is just getting revenge," Seto stated as the duel began. As they both drew their first cards Bansieru went first.

"Since this is my world I will start the duel," Bansieru mentioned drawing as both duelists Life Points began at 4000. "With this card your new duel against me will be in vain. For have you ever knew you only get one duel with me... ever!"

"That is all I will need," Malik retorted.

"I summon Sierra Wisdom-Lover in attack mode."

1/1

"Now I place down two cards."

"If all you have are those then I can guarantee me a free win. I throw down a face-down and summon Mimic Soldier."

1400/1200

"What? Not attacking?"

"I find it would be crucial to my strategy if I don't attack so just take your turn!"

"As you wish!"

2/2

"Dexwil Wisdom-Seeker in attack mode. Since Sierra is on the field when Dexwil is summoned I am allowed to special summon Puc Wisdom-Keeper from my deck in attack mode."

0/0

"With these three Wisdom Cards in play I can activate the field spell, Library Of Wisdom. But it is up to you to figure out its powers," Bansieru implied as the field turned into a giant library filled with books in every corner. "This is the exact timing I needed to reveal my trap card I had laid down last turn. Life Draining Reserves!"

Bansieru's Life Points: 10000 Malik's Life Points: 4000

"This trap card allows me to gain 2000 Life Points for each spell and trap card on the field but I cannot gain more than 8000."

"Gain as much Life Points as you desire but I still have the upper hand."

"Then allow all of us to see that hand, right now."

"Gladly," Malik said as he drew. "I activate a field spell of my very own."

"That will destroy my Library!!"

"Actually it is much more perplexed than that. Mimic World Castle allows us both to have a field card for both sides of our field. Except our field cards switch. You get my Mimic World Castle's effect and I get your Library Of Wisdom."

"My Wisdom Monsters are weakened now!!"

"Due to Mimic World Castle's ability I get a copy of each monster on your side of the field. Now I sacrifice my three Mimic Wisdom Monsters to bring forth the one who will make you scream!!!"

"WHAT!? NOOOO!!!"

3/0

"Mimic Dragon God Ra has arrived at last!!"

"What is that thing?"

"I am sorry to not have informed you about my almighty being Bansieru but your deck seems pretty pathetic with my new monster released. Not only is he a copy of Winged Dragon Of Ra but he is a Mimic monster as well."

"What does that have to do with him?"

"First allow me to introduce his first effect. All cards on your side of the field are immediately destroyed."

"AHHHH!!!" Bansieru put her hands in front of her face shielding herself from the pieces as everything is destroyed.

"I forgot something. GO NOW! My trap card Mimic Ministry! You might have believed to win this duel but I tell you right now and right at this time. You, will, lose."

"Explain what you are talking about Malik," Bansieru asked him as his trap card glistened with a holographic shine. It was a small little building surrounded by large rose bushes each side growing with a mixture of blue, pink, red, orange, purple, black, and yellow. The house looked like a church that was a royal castle which Mimic World Castle seemed to have been outside of this new building. Its windows were covered in bright red curtains and the door seemed to be made of the best wood you could ever find.

"This targets any monster with Mimic in the title that has an effect. I get to choose the effect that I do not want to keep on the targeted card. Since Mimic Dragon God Ra cannot attack if it destroyed any spell or trap cards when its summoned I will take away the not attacking part so he may attack you this and every turn I get!"

"As if I care. He has an attack of just 3!"

"That is where you are wrong."

"How can I be wrong when that is what it states?"

"Are you going to chat this duel away or let me continue? Due to Mimic Ministry I am allowed to also special summon a monster from my deck with Soldier in its name so I choose Darkfire Soldier #1."

1700/1000

"But he will not be on the field for long as I summon Darkfire Soldier #2 as well from my hand!"

1700/1050

"And now I activate the special ability of Mimic Soldier. I get to transform him into any spell card I wish so I'll use Polymorphism on my two Darkfire Soldier's!" As Mimic Soldier held out its hands polymerization swirls appeared in its palms and swirled after the two monster transforming them into one fiery slim-sworded pyro, "Known as Soldier Of Darkfire."

2400/1200

"Since my Mimic Soldier used his ability he is no more. But that doesn't matter for my new monsters will take your Life Points for a dive. Now attack Soldier of Darkfire with Slim Sword Slam!"

"Ouch! Its hooooot!!!"

"But that is just the beginning. Now attack Mimic Dragon God Ra with your lousy 3 attack strike!"

"That peck didn't even hurt. Your fire soldier had more in him."

"On the contrary three is still an attack strength."

"My move then!" 'Perfect. Now all I need to do is summon this an I will win the duel.' "I bring forth Amazoness Summoner."

0/0

"Using her ability I get to tribute her and special summon any Amazoness in my hand to field so I conjure Amazoness Master Bansieru!"

3350/2600

"When she is on the field all Amazoness gain 500 attack and dfenese for each Amazoness on the field including Bansieru."

3850/3100

"Bansieru attack his weak Mimic Dragon God Ra!!!"

"Your flaw is fatal. I reduce my Ra's attack to 1 and you receive 4000 damage since I have two cards in my hand."

"I am still in the game and now your Ra is gone."

"Not as long as I activate his final ability. ONE TURN STRIKE DOWN!!!"

"What are you talking about!?!?"

"I can discard my hand to make your attack bounce and reflect back at your own!"

"BUT I CANNOT AFFORD IT!" Bansieru's Life Points dropped from 3597 to zero.

"I win."

"No."

"Shino deserves to have his card and body back. Now you know what to do as the Rogue Group, and you too Kratyn," Malik stated looking at Kratyn in the audience. "Defeat her and the Shadow World will be brought down." As he disappeared Shino's hand held Shadow Gate Sword Destroyer Anhia once again.

[MetalPharoah]

Episode 52- Shadow World Part 1



"You cannot be doing this to me," Bansieru shouted in pain after losing to Malik and getting a Shadow Gate Card taken.

"Look at that," Tristan yelled as everyone looked up at the opened Shadow Gate.

"Sword Destroyer Anhia is gone," Tea muttered.

"Its as if he's not helping the gate to stay open anymore," Bakyru mentioned.

"That is preciously what is happening," Bakura said.

"Remember everybody! She cannot deny a duel from us due to her connection to the Shadow Realm," Yugi stated as everyone understood what Malik was trying to tell them.

"It... is... true."

"Huh," Risha looked and noticed Shino getting up.

"Bansieru is the Keeper Of The Shadow Realm. She cannot deny a duel from anyone as long as she is bound by the rules of the Keeper," Shino mentioned as Bansieru's face became twisted with rage,

"YOU KNOW NOTHING!! I am the Keeper Of The Realm, but what you do not know is what I have gained through the ancient texts that my master allowed me to read and understand why," Bansieru began to say.

"But why have we never heard about this part before?" Seto asked.

"I did not want anyone to know about it! For you see, I am bound by the laws of the Shadow Realm which means I cannot deny a challenge and whoever I ask has to abide by the same rules. Ironic that it all comes down to this with you not knowing completely."

"I beg to differ," Pegasus stood before her revealing the Millennium Eye. "With my Millennium Eye I have seen your past and know everything!"

"Fool! Don't you know why the Millennium Items resurfaced after they were sealed away after the Pharoah himself was sent back to the spirit world?"

"Years ago a great evil entered our world and threatened our way of life. Around that time they returned but afterwards, they never went away."

"And all this time I thought it was due to the threat," Seto mentioned.

"Maybe it was, but they were given a new direction. If those items were ever needed to defeat evil once again they would go back to their future holders and then things would be as they were before Atem left this world. So when Anubis returned and used his powers to capture the spirit of Atem and split him into four parts they were called to protect the world once more," Bansieru said.

"So if Atem was never captured then they would have been gone forever."

"Exactly. And now with them back also came the power of evil hearts to start the Shadow Games once again giving me the power to use shadows and fill up my Shadow Blade. Only then until it had enough shadows of lost souls was I able to be released. So thanks to Anubis I am here."

"But Atem is not here now."

"Wouldn't that mean the Millennium Items should have disappeared again," Joey asked.

"No. For you see Atem is not entirely back to where he was."

"OH NO," Serenity shouted knowing what Bansieru was talking about.

"What is it Serenity?"

"I am afraid I know the truth Joey. The reason they never went back to their resting place."

"We need to know Serenity," Shino implied trying to get entirely up from the ground after being taken over by Malik.

"When Anubis sealed Atem apart they were placed in four specifically powerful cards."

"The Goddess Cards," Yugi shouted.

"And these cards still exist."

"But Atem was released when you activated Goddess Reformation!"

"His spirit was released, but where did it go Yugi?"

"Back inside of the Puzzle!!"

"Yes."

"But why have I not heard or felt him?"

"I can explain that," Atem said as everyone heard him and his spirit flew out of the Puzzle.

"Atem," Tea gasped.

"Mmm Hmmm. I am back."

"Why have you not made yourself known," Yugi asked him as he turned to Yugi.

"After Anubis was defeated and Shadow came I was a spirit wandering this world once again. After Shadow was destroyed I became trapped back into the Millennium Puzzle like before, except this time you could not hear nor feel my presence. The reason for this is because we have grown apart in the last years we have not seen each other. Your strong now Yugi, just the way I expected you to be."

"Thanks Pharoah."

"Without me you've become King of Games even after losing your title to Weevil. Then you defeated me honorably in a duel. But my spirit is stuck here because the Millennium Items have remained in your world as well."

"Then we must put them back where they came from."

"I am afraid that is impossible since my Tomb is gone along with the Millennium Tablet. I really have no idea how to return to my world as well as the Items." The clouds then began to rumble.

"My Shadow World is complete now and all you have to talk about is an old Pharoah and some useless golden jewelry!? I WON'T HAVE IT!!" Bansieru raised her Shadow Blade and made the crowd expand and everyone flew away from her. "NOW BOW BEFORE YOUR QUEEN!!"

"I don't think that will be neccesary," Risha implied walking up to Bansieru.

"I SAID--"

"Put your sword down! I challenge you to a duel for my Shadow Gate Card back."

"Errrr..... FINE!!!"

Bansieru & Risha: "Let's Duel!!"

"Since this is my world my rules go and they state that since we are in the Shadow World I say we both start out with only 4000 life points. I do hope that is enough for your weak deck?"

"Don't get cocky hag, for I go first," She yelled out drawing her hand and her card. "I'll start things out with Cat's Ear Tribe in attack mode."

200/100

"Then I will place a card face-down. That about rounds my turn up."

"Glad to hear it!" She looked hard at her card and smiled. "This is a perfect draw. I hope you are ready for my Amazoness Chain Master!"

1500/1300

"So now Chain Master attack her Cat's Ear Tribe!" She began to throw her chain at the cat.

"I am sorry to hurt your feelings Bansieru but my Ear Tribe makes your monsters attack the same as my own. And that means they both are destroyed!"

"JUST WHAT I WANTED!"

"Huh?"

"Now I can activate my Chain Master's ability by paying 1500 Life Points. Now I get to choose a monster from your hand and putting in my own as if it belongs to me."

"AHHH!"

"I choose to take your Flying Assassin!"

"Fine, then its yours."

"And now I will throw down three face-downs. Your turn kiddie."

"My new and improved deck is better than when it was in the finals so I hope you are ready to see even more of my new cards."

"Please, like you could take me down with me using my entire strength? It is not like when we played for the first time back in the alley. I was toying with you. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!"

"Then let me bring you back to my reality! I activate the trap card Cost Down Formula Number Two! This allows me to discard two cards from my hand to make all monsters in my hand decrease by four stars. So now I am allowed to summon my mighty Sacred Phoenix Of Nephthys!!"

2400/1600

"With my winged-beast monsters my new beast and beast-warriors are gaining friends from beyond the beast families! But before I do anything else I will play Giant Trunade to return all three of your face-down cards to your hand."

"They'll be back."

"Now I can go for your Life Points directly! Phoenix attack with Fire Delta Blast!!" As the bird came to Bansieru she was hit by a big blast of flames. "Now your down to 100 Life Points and my victory is near. I hope you like to lose because soon enough my Shadow Gate Card will belong to me once more! GO!"

"I place my three cards back face-down and then summon your monster that I took away from you. Flying Assassin!"

1750/1750

"With its special ability I will attack your Phoenix so that it may instantly destroy it. So now its curtains for her!"

"AHHH!!!"

"That does it for me."

"You shouldn't have tried that move."

"Why not? Your big bird has hit the bucket."

"Now my Phoenix activate your effect!"

"ITS BACK!?"

"When my Sacred Phoenix is destroyed by a card effect its automatically special summoned to my side of the field during my Standby Phase. So you see I can now take you down this turn!"

"Uh oh."

"This is the time to finish things. I play my Generous Donation spell card."

"What does that do?"

"It forces me to draw three new cards for each monster on your side of the field. Since you only have one I get just three."

"I don't see how it will help."

"Then watch this! Polymerization fuse Mantle Entity and Horn Hunter together for the Great Impaler!!!"

2500/2300

"Neither monster will help you for now I activate the trap cards Life Draining Reserves and Call Of The Amazons to bring forth Amazoness Swordswoman!"

1500/1600

"And then I gain 6000 more Life Points raising me to 6100!!! NOW TRY TO DEFEAT ME!"

"I will do so! Great Impaler take down Flying Assassin! And next Sacred Phoenix destroy her Swordswoman!"

"You take the damage I would have received from Amazoness Swordswoman so now I am the one with the highest Life Points and eternal victory!"

"I still have two high attacking monsters compared to your no field."

"But my Life Points will help me as I draw my next card." 'This is it. Time to make everything count!' "Before I take my turn I activate Pride Of The Family to special summon another Amazoness Swordswoman to take the destroyed ones place. Now I summon Amazoness Summoner and with her ability I tribute her to special summon ANY Amazoness from my hand! Come forth Amazoness Master Bansieru!!"

3350/2600

"And she increases each Amazoness with 500 extra strength!"

2000/1600
3850/2600

"If it were not for your lack of quick wit I'd say this is the end, for you. Hahahaha!"

And Now for the World Premiere of Yu-Gi-Oh! Shadow Gate "Shadow World Part 2"!!

Episode 53- Shadow World Part 2


"Now Amazoness Master Bansieru take down Risha's Sacred Phoenix Of Nephthys! Shadow Blade!"

"Ahhh," Risha screamed as the pain began to take its toll from the duel.

"The pain from the Shadow Game is getting stronger. Do not worry. Soon you'll be out of your misery for good! So go ahead and take your turn."

"My pleasure." 'I cannot believe I need a great card or else I will lose and then the world will never become normal and Bansieru will rule. COME ON HEART OF THE CARDS HELP ME!' "My secret plan worked its way out Bansieru for when I activated Cost Down Formula Number Two one of the cards discarded gives another card in my graveyard activation when eight cards are on top of it!"

"WHAT!? You tricked me!"

"BEAST FAMILY SOUL SPIRIT! It Increases any of my remaining beast, beast-warrior, and winged-beast monsters on the field with 1500 attack strength."

"You still won't be able to take me down in time before I do it to you."

"I beg to differ since now my Great Impaler has 4000 attack strength that is more than enough to take down your Amazoness Master Bansieru. Now attack Great Impaler. Horn Crusher!!"

"I activate Bansieru's special ability to sacrifice Amazoness Swordswoman for her not to be destroyed."

"But you still take the damage and that is all I need to finish the game. My Beast Family Soul Spirit allows me to attack your monsters until there are none left or until my Great Impaler is destroyed so say goodbye to your last defense, but before I finish this, I play the spell card Decay Spell thanks to Shino!"

"Bansieru is weakening!"

"Now with 1000 attack left she is done for. Great Impaler finish her off!!"

"I am still in this game and so my turn beg--"

"Not so quick!'

"What?"

"My Great Impaler gets one more attack after defeating all of your monsters."

"NOOOO!!! I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH LIFE POINTS LEFT!!"

"Exactly. FINISH THIS!!!"

"AHHHHHHH!!!!" Just then Behemoth Master Of All Animals fades from powering up the Shadow Gate and his card flew back into Risha's hand.

"It is my turn to challenge you Bansieru," Bakyru implied as he activated his duel disk and took the liberty of going first.

"Who said you could go first?"

"I did, but do not worry, I am about to defeat you right now to get my Shadow Gate Card back. I play Pot of Generosity to return two cards from my hand to my deck in order to activate Fire Juggle! With this I give up every card in my deck to decrease your life points to zero!"

"NOT ALREADY!!" Morphed Gatlinger finally disappeared from powering up the gate like the other two Shadow Gate Beasts had and his card returned to Bakyru.

"This belongs to me anyway."

"But now we are taking you on together," Lynn stated as Wayne stood besides her.

"I hope you can take us both."

"In order to do so you each get only 2000 life points while I have 4000 of my own."

"That is fine with me," Wayne stated.

"And me too," Lynn replied as everyone activated their duel disks.

BANSIERU, LYNN, & Wayne: "Let's Duel!"

"Since you are double teaming me I get to go first and with that I place down two cards and then summon Amazoness Swordswoman in attack mode."

1500/1600

"That does it for me."

"My turn," Wayne stated as he drew. "I summon Don Zaloog and then activate Mustering Of The Dark Scorpions to bring out the remaining four from my hand."

1400/1500
1000/1000
1800/1500
1000/1800
1200/1000

"Now Gorg attack her Swordswoman and make it dust!"

"I activate my trap card! Amazoness Stasis makes any of your monsters only able to attack Amazoness monsters on the field this turn and since my Swordswoman is now gone your other monsters cannot attack me directly due to its effect!"

"Then I move onto Lynn."

"Since Wayne built up his field it seems I must do something to protect us. In order to do so I throw down a face-down and summon my Dork Rider."

1750/900

"And then he will attack you directly, Slip And Fall Punch!"

"EHH!"

"That ends my turn."

"And back to me already? Gee, I thought that teaming up together would be harmful. I guess I was wrong. Oh well, looks like I get to pound you two together! I activate my trap card Call Of The Amazons to special summon Amazoness Mage from my deck. But before she can stay out I will sacrifice her to bring forth Amazoness Jungle-Queen! And her effect is she gains 1000 attack and defense for each monster on my opponents side of the field and I count six!!"

6000/6000

"Oh no Lynn one of us is about to lose."

"You got that right!"

"GO DORK RIDER!"

"His effect to remove two cards from my hand is not going to do much for I will just attack you now the moment you are at your weakest! Now attack Lynn with your Jungle Staff!!"

"YOU LOSE BANSIERU!!!!"

"What are you talking about?"

"REVEAL TRAP CARD!!!"

"Magic Cylinder!? I should have known you would have used that Risha," Wayne stated as Bansieru's Life Points decreased to zero.

"How am I losing so badly? This world is suppose to give me stronger monsters and better advantages! I AM THE QUEEN!!!" Then Warlord Quazar and Triasko disappeared from the sky and their cards went back to Wayne and Lynn. "I have lost so many... The Shadow Gate will remain open since the worlds are completely transformed but now my ultimate servants are being taken away. All I have is Blasteron and Green-Eyes Dark Dragon. I cannot get them stolen back as well!"

"Stop sulking Bansieru and duel me," Kraytn stated.

"You punks! I WILL DESTROY YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!!" As she was about to strike Kraytn bonds appeared on her arms and she was stuck in place.

"It seems you are breaking your rules of not accepting my challenge."

"FINE!! But I am not going to take it easy anymore! YOU WIIIILLLL LOSE!!!"

"Before you start take this Kraytn," Bakyru threw a card to him.

"This card?"

"With her playing by new rules it will help you out."

"Good thinking."

"That is cheating!"

"I do not see how?"

"Well if that is the way you want to play it! Blasteron and Green-Eyes join my deck for this fight," They obeyed and switched into their card modes and went inside of her deck as she shuffled and placed it into the duel disk.

Kraytn & Bansieru: "Let's Duel!"

"The last time we dueled I won," Bansieru stated as Kraytn laughed.

"That was a fluke. You only won because I was unexpected for you to have such a cheap card. But this time cheap cards are not going to help you if I can count on it. I use this spell card, Random Security. Now I choose two spells and a monster card from my hand and allow you to choose which card is not the monster. If you choose the monster its special summoned to the field but if you don't I have to skip this turn and end it immediately," Kraytn said as he shuffled the three cards and then spread them out for her as we see the left card is the monster Blue-Eyes White Dragon he won from Mokuba.

"I choose.... THE CARD ON THE RIGHT!"

"You done it for me. I special summon the mighty Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

3000/2500

"And if that is not bad I am going to play Dragonbreath Impact. This forces both of us to take one dragon from our deck and place it into our hands. Now since I know what dragon you have in yours I activate Exchange!" As they both walked up to each other Bansieru turned her hand around and there was his Green-Eyes. 'Now after I get this I will be ready to play my move.'

"I take your Polymerization so that you cannot bring out your monster."

"And I will take Green-Eyes Dark Dragon."

"Without Polymerization you cannot fuse them both together."

"Yes, but it was a good trick to get Blue-Eyes out so that if I could you would not ruin it for me."

"I still have."

"THINK AGAIN! I activate my last card Polymorphism! With this I can fuse any two monsters together that I wish so go Green-Eyes and Blue-Eyes form together.......... GREEN-EYES WHITE DRAGONOID!!!

4200/3500

"Now I finish my turn by summoning Sub-Dragon in defense mode."

0/0

"You fool with no hand I can take your field out quickly with my spell card Final Destiny. All I do is discard my entire hand to destroy the complete field. GOODBYE!!!"

"I activate Sub-Dragon's effect. Now he shields my dragon from any harm allowing me to take my turn since you don't have a field or hand! So now win me this duel with White Thunder!!!!"

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!"

"My Green-Eyes is back with me again!"

"Blasteron return to powering up the Shadow Gate to make me stronger," She threw the card up as he returned to his live form. "As long as Theros is frozen you cannot gain them all back and return me to where I came from. LONG LIVE THE QUE--" Suddenly Theros broke out of the frozen state he was in.

AND NOW FOR THE WORLD PREMIERE OF YU-GI-OH! SHADOW GATE SEASON 1 FINALE!!

Episode 54- Shadow World Part 3


"Her," Suddenly Theros realized something was different. He looked up at the Shadow Gate which now only held Blasteron onto an etched marking where he seemed to be imprisoned. "How?" He looked around noticing the changes.

"You were frozen," Shino had said nonchalant as Theros looked surprised.

"AND WILL BE ONCE AGAIN!" Bansieru screamed. As she raised her Shadow Blade and Theros rolled off to the side.

"You won't get me again that easily Bansieru! This time I know the complete truth about who made you and it certainly wasn't Zorc!" With this being said everyone was shocked.

"How are you so sure," Bakyru asked him.

"If Zorc was her creator then he would never have forged the Shadow Gate Beasts to protect her. Remember, he thought he was powerful beyond any measure. But what if I was to say that Zorc was created by your creator BEFORE you were conceived Bansieru?"

"WHAT!? Why would I be second choice!?"

"Don't you see? Zorc went bad and was locked away in ancient times and to not make the same mistake twice, a new Keeper of the Shadow Realm was born. This time, with guards protecting the realms borders for you not to escape."

"How did you figure all of this out?"

"It was easy! And--" Suddenly the ground began to quake furiously.

"Whats going on," Bansieru screamed as Seto looked at Yugi and Serenity at Joey.

"It appears that without the Shadow Gate Beasts power this Shadow World is becoming unstable," Pegasus mentioned as suddenly black swirls of smoke began to pass around them and one zoomed past Shino.

"What was that," Shino asked.

"I'm not quite certain."

"My beautiful world," Bansieru cried out as the black swirls were zooming everywhere.

"How did the Shadow Gate Beasts become free from the Shadow Gate itself," Theros asked confused.

"We won them back in a duel," Lynn shouted.

"Bansieru has to uphold certain rules here," Bakyru mentioned.

"And you must challenge and defeat her if you want yours back," Yugi mentioned as Theros looked determined.

"Bansieru, I challenge you to a duel," Theros roared as he activated his duel disk.

"So be it," She responded, activating her duel disk, as the earth shook and everyone tried to find balance.

BANSIERU & THEROS: "Lets Duel!"

"I summon Aggravated Golem."

1500ATK

"And next I activate his ability! By discarding every card in my hand you are dealt five-hundred points of damage for each." Boulders appeared above her as they fell and her life points dropped to 1500. "Your turn."

"And I shall gladly take it! Come on out Amazoness Swordswoman!"

1600ATK

"Attack Theros' Golem!"

"And activate the other little ability I forgot to mention. You take one-thousand damage when he is destroyed in battle." And her life points went down to 500.

"I place a card face-down and end my turn."

"Which ends this duel," Theros shouted as he drew. "This deck would never steer me wrong." He looked at the card he drew. "And how right I was. I activate Rocky Terrain! For every rock-type monster in my graveyard you are dealt two-hundred points of damage, and since there lies Aggravated Golem, Guardian Sphinx, AND hieracosphinx you lose!"

"WHAT!?" Bansieru screamed as her life points went down to zero and Blasteron freed himself from the Shadow Gate and his card was once again held by Theros. "You! You destroyed my plans of controlling the Shadow Gate Beasts on my own accord and took EVERYTHING away from me! How dare you do such a thing!" Just then Pegasus shouted as loud as he could.

"Use the power of the Shadow Gates! This moment is the reason they were brought forward to you from the past to seal away the great evil that threatens our universe!"

"Huh? What are you--" As the earth continued to shake one-by-one they held up their Shadow Gate Cards in a circle with Kraytn's in the middle. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!"

"I believe your days of tyranny are over," Yugi screamed out as Seto stood there, looking amused.

"By the power of the Shadow Gates we banish you," Lynn, Wayne, Shino, Kraytn, Bakyru, Theros, and Risha said in unison as the beasts were released from the cards and came to life.

"You're back!? No! YOU CANT! This is my DESTINY!" The Shadow Gate Beasts looked upon Bansieru and each circled her, surrounding from escape. "What.. are you doing!?" She shrieked as they began to activate their powers and a beam from each of them shot into Bansieru as she screamed out in pain. "No! Let me be! I WAS ONLY DOING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS BEST!!" Everyone shielded their eyes as bright lights gleamed from the onslaught of the Shadow Gate Beasts. "NOOO!!! I SHALL RETURN AND RULE MY WORLD!!" And with that Bansieru was sucked inside of the Shadow Blade she held that now landed onto the ground.

"Bansieru may be locked away inside the power of the Shadow Blade," Anhia began to speak as everyone looked surprised once more.

"But as long as evil does not gain control of it, no more harm can be done to any dimension," Triasko spoke.

"In order for something like this never to happen again we must guard the sacred Shadow Blade," Blasteron mentioned.

"Our spirits shall always remain with you," Behemoth implied.

"As long as you call upon us for help our spirits shall return to the card forms you still hold," Quazar stated.

"Into the Shadow Realm we must now go where this vile blade is kept," Gatlinger remarked.

"But don't forget that each of you together are a team with a friendship that even us Shadow Gates have been bonded by," Green-Eyes said as everyone began to have tears in their eyes as the blade was lifted without being touched and floated in the air.

"You really helped us through some rough times," Shino replied looking up at Anhia. "We won't forget you." And with that the Shadow Gate Beasts, with the Shadow Blade, entered the Shadow Realm as the Shadow Gate behind them began to close.

"The Millennium Puzzle," Yugi screamed out as it began to vanish.

"My Millennium Eye as well," Pegasus added.

"It looks like everything has been returned to the way it was," Seto stated.

"Which means I am King of Games once more," Yugi remarked and everyone laughed.

"Without the Shadow Gates," Theros looked at his card as Shino looked over his shoulder.

"It appears that we still get to harness their awesome power."

"Don't you ever get serious?"

"Not when it comes to teasing you Theros!"

"I think this is enough childish nonsense for me," Seto interrupted with, "And as far as I am concerned Shino won the Kaiba Land tournament."

"What!?"

"Look around. I don't see Bansieru around here anywhere and with her gone, you are the champion."

"Way wicked!" He shouted as Lynn, Risha, and Wayne tackled him saying their congratulations.

"It is going to be nice with things getting back to normal," Bakyru said to his brother.

"Just remember that if it had not been for Bansieru I'd be the one who would've faced Shino in the finals," Kraytn mentioned.

"And what makes you think you have the skills to take him on?"

"You've seen them Bakyru! I could win against him in my sleep."

"A bit arrogant aren't you," Theros remarked as Kraytn got a bit tempered.

"Hmph. I'll be glad to leave this place with a third-rate duelist like you here." And Kraytn began to walk away.

"I suppose this is goodbye," Shino said looking at Yugi.

"You were a true duelist today Shino. For being my apprentice I am very proud of you."

"Thanks Yugi."

"All you must do now is practice and someday soon you will be the next King of Games."

"Here is your Dark Magician Yugi," Shino handed it out.

"Keep it."

"What!?" Everyone screamed out in shock.

"Its a gift for your admiration and hard work you have overcome while under my study."

"Wow. I really don't know what to say. Thanks," And he gave him a hug as Yugi looked a bit hesitant and then patted Shino's back.

"Its time to go Yug," Joey mentioned as everyone else were walking away already.

"I will be keeping an eye on your matches," And with that Yugi walked away.

"Well well well Shino-boy, you truly have become a remarkable duelist," Pegasus said as everyone looked at him. "I look forward to your graduation day from Duel Academy, each and every one of you."

"Come on students! Its time to return to Duel Academy," Mokuba shouted as they all looked at him and then back to Pegasus who seemed to have walked off.

"We're coming Head Master," Shino shouted as he and his friends ran on as they smiled and giggled their way.
