“I activate Axe of Despair to give Chimera 1000 ATK points,” said Shadi. Chimera’s ATK rises to 3100. Chimera, destroy his Dark Magician! Dark Magician is destroyed and Yami’s lifepoints drop to 3400. Gamma, attack his lifepoints directly! Yami’s lifepoints drop to 1900. That ends my turn.

            “I summon Sangan (1000/600) in Defense Mode,” said Yami. That ends my turn.

            “Chimera, destroy his Sangan!” said Shadi. Sangan is destroyed.

            “No, Sangan!” said Yami. Since you’ve destroyed Sangan, I get to add one monster whose ATK is 1500 or less to my hand from my deck.

            “That ends my turn,” said Shadi.

            “I remove Sangan from the game to summon Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Then, I set two cards face down and end my turn.

            “I summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (1700/1600) in Attack Mode,” said Shadi. Chimera, destroy his Dark Magician Girl!

            “I activate Mirror Force!” said Yami. All monsters on your side of the field in Attack Mode are destroyed. Gamma, Beta and Chimera are destroyed.

            “That ends my turn,” said Shadi.

            “I switch Dark Magician Girl to Defense Mode,” said Yami. Then, I summon King’s Knight (1600/1400) in Attack Mode. King’s Knight, attack his lifepoints! Shadi’s lifepoints drop to 2900. Queen’s Knight, attack directly! Shadi’s lifepoints drop to 1400. That ends my turn.

            “I set one monster in Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Shadi.

            “King’s Knight, destroy his face down monster!” said Yami. The face down Cyber Jar (900/900) is destroyed.

            “Every monster on the field is now destroyed thanks to Cyber Jar’s effect,” said Shadi. Dark Magician Girl, Queen’s Knight and King’s Knight are destroyed. We must now pick up five cards from our decks and any 4-star or lower monsters drawn are to be summoned to the field in face up Attack Mode or face down Defense Mode. I set three monsters in Defense Mode.

            “I summon Dark Blade (1800/1500) in Attack Mode and two monsters in Defense Mode,” said Yami. Dark Blade, destroy his middle face down card! The face down Celtic Guardian (1400/1200) is destroyed. That ends my turn.

            “My move,” said Shadi. What’s this? There are no monsters in my hand? How can that be? I end my turn.

            “I remove my Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl from play to summon my Sorcerer of Dark Magic (3200/2800) in Attack Mode,” said Yami. Next, I activate Book of Secret Arts, giving my Sorcerer 300 ATK and DEF points. Sorcerer’s stats rise to (3500/3100). Next, I activate my Swords of Revealing Light preventing you from attacking me for three turns. It also flips all face down monsters on your side of the field face up. Dark Blade, destroy his left card! The face down Beaver Warrior (1200/1500) is destroyed. Go my Sorcerer, attack his last monster! The face down Royal Magical Library (0/2000) is destroyed. That ends my turn.

            “It’s my turn, Pharaoh,” said Shadi. My own Dark Magician, that’s no good. Pharaoh, there is nothing I can do this turn so you win. You did far better than I had anticipated. Well done. We will meet again someday. Shadi disappears. Joey races up to Yami.

            “Hey, Yugi,” said Joey. The Paradox Brothers appear in front of them.

            “It’s time that you two duel us again,” said Para.
