I’ve Seen the Lite (Part 3)

Previously...

          “My move,” said Ojin.

          “My Silent Magician gets 500 ATK now, since you’re drawing a card,” said Yugi. *Silent Magician’s ATK rises to 1500.*

          “Whatever, it doesn’t bother me,” said Ojin. I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. *The Satellite Cannons’ ATKs and Satellite Base’s DEF rise to 3000.* (Hand: 3 cards)

            “What’s he waiting for?” asked Yugi to himself. His monsters are stronger than mine. He must be up to something and I’d better find out what or I could lose the Duel! I draw! Valkyrion is just what I need! I discard my Magnet Warriors for Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Valkyrion, destroy his middle Satellite Cannon! *Satellite Cannon is destroyed and Ojin’s LP drops to 4200 before Ojin laughs.* What’s so funny?

            “You have allowed me to unleash the strongest monster in my Deck,” said Ojin. Since you destroyed 1 of my Satellite Cannons in battle, I can activate my face-down card Debris Station! It sends my remaining Satellite Cannons to my Graveyard to Summon the almighty Satellite Laser Balsam (0 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            “I activate Ambush Shield!” said Yugi. By Tributing my Stronghold, my Yellow Gadget gets 2000 ATK! *Yellow Gadget’s ATK rises to 3200 and Balsam is destroyed, reducing Ojin’s LP drops to 4000 before Base’s DEF drops to 0.*

            “I Summon Green Gadget (600 DEF) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. Next, his effect lets me add Red Gadget to my hand Then I switch my Yellow Gadget to Defense Mode and end my turn by setting 1 card face-down. If he Summons another monster, I’m finished! (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I draw,” said Ojin. If I destroy his Green Gadget, my Cannon’s ATK will go to 0 so I must think of something else. I activate another Charge (Info) Spell. So my Cannon gets 2000 ATK! Satellite Cannon’s ATK rises to 4000. Next, I use my Limiter Removal (Info) Spell, doubling my Cannon’s ATK! Satellite Cannon’s ATK rises to 8000. Satellite Cannon, destroy his Valkyrion!

            “I activate Soul Shield (Info)!” said Yugi. By halving my points, your attack is negated! His LP drops to 2000.

I’ve Seen the Lite (Part 2)

Previously...

            “Alright, my move,” said Yugi. I activate Card of Sanctity, so we both draw cards until our hands hold 6. Next, since a card effect put it into my hand, I Summon Watapon (200 DEF) in Defense Mode. Next, I Tribute my Watapon for Dark Magician Girl (2000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Then, I equip her with Book of Secret Arts, giving her 300 more ATK and DEF! *Dark Magician Girl’s ATK stats rise to (2300/2000).* Dark Magician Girl, attack his middle Satellite Cannon! *Satellite Cannon is not destroyedm but Ojin’s LP drops to 4700.* That ends my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I switch my Satellite Cannons to Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Ojin. *The Satellite Cannons’ ATKs and Satellite Base’s DEF rise to 2000.* (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I play Monster Reborn to revive Watapon from my Graveyard in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. Watapon appears. Next, I Summon Silent Magician LV4 (1000 DEF) in Defense mode and end my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “My move,” said Ojin.

            “My Silent Magician gets 500 ATK now, since you’re drawing a card,” said Yugi. *Silent Magician’s ATK rises to 1500.*

            “Whatever, it doesn’t bother me,” said Ojin. I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. *The Satellite Cannons’ ATKs and Satellite Base’s DEF rise to 3000.* (Hand: 3 cards)

            “What’s he waiting for?” asked Yugi to himself. His monsters are stronger than mine. He must be up do something and I’d better find out what or I could lose the Duel! I draw! Valkyrion is just what I need! I discard my Magnet Warriors for Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (Info) (3500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Valkyrion, destroy his middle Satellite Cannon! Satellite Cannon is destroyed and Ojin’s LP drops to 4200. Ojin then laughs. What’s so funny?

            “You have allowed me to unleash the strongest monster in my Deck,” said Ojin. Since you destroyed 1 of my Satellite Cannons in battle, I can activate my face-down card Debris Station (Info)! It sends my remaining Satellite Cannons to my Graveyard to Summon the almighty Satellite Laser Balsam (Info) (0 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            “He’s gotta be outta his mind. That monster is far too weak to destroy Valkyrion,” said Joey.

            “Not necessarily,” said Ojin. My Debris Station gives my monster 3000 ATK points! Satellite Balsam’s ATK rises to 3000.

            “That ends my turn,” said Yugi. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Then it’s time for your Valkyrion to fall!” said Ojin. I use Monster Reborn

(Info) to revive my Satellite Cannon (Info) (0 DEF) in Defense Mode. Satellite Cannon appears. That ends my turn and by my Balsam’s effect, it gains 3000 ATK! Balsam’s ATK rises to 6000 while Base’s DEF rises to 4000. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I switch my Valkyrion to Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Yugi. (Hand: 1 card)

            “You’re finished!” said Ojin. Satellite Laser Balsam, destroy his Valkyrion! By the way, my monster possesses Piercing Damage, meaning that if its ATK exceeds its attack target’s DEF, you take the difference. Valkyrion is destroyed. Why haven’t your LP changed?

            “I discarded Kuriboh (Info) to negate the damage,” said Yugi.

            “I will defeat you next turn!” said Ojin. Base’s DEF and Balsam’s ATK drops to 0. That ends my turn. Balsam’s ATK rises to 3000 and Satellite Cannon’s ATK and Base’s DEF rise to 1000. (Hand: 4 cards).

            “I activate my face-down card, Stronghold the Moving Fortress (Info)!” said Yugi. It becomes a monster with 2000 DEF. Then I Summon Yellow Gadget (Info)

(1200 ATK) in Attack Mode and thanks to his effect, I can add Green Gadget to my hand. That ends my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “You’re through!” said Ojin. Satellite Laser Balsam, destroy his Yellow Gadget!

            “I activate Ambush Shield (Info)!” said Yugi. By Tributing my Stronghold, my Yellow Gadget gets 2000 ATK! Yellow Gadget’s ATK rises to 3200 and Balsa is destroyed, reducing Ojin’s LP drops to 4500. Base’s DEF drops to 0.

            “I set 1 card face-down and end my turn,” said Ojin. Base’s DEF rises to 1000 and Satellite Cannon’s ATK rises to 2000. (Hand: 4 cards)

            “I Summon Green Gadget (Info) (600 DEF) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. Then I switch my Yellow Gadget to Defense Mode and end my turn. If he Summons another monster, I’m finished! (Hand: 2 cards)

I’ve Seen the Lite (Part 1)

Outside Duel Academy...

            "So, you decided to show,” said Ojin. Now then, let’s get this Duel started.

            “Take him down, Yugi!” said Joey.

            “I’ll start, if you don’t mind,” said Ojin. I Summon Satellite Base (Info) (0 DEF) in Defense Mode. Then, I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. Oh and by the way, every round my Base gets 1000 DEF! Base’s DEF rises to 1000. (Hand: 4 cards)

            “What’s he up to?” asked Yugi to himself. He Summoned a monster that even my weakest monsters can destroy. I Summon King’s Knight (Info) (1600 ATK) in Attack Mode. Now my Knight destroy his monster! King's Knight’s attack reflects off Satellite Base. How is it still standing?

            “No Level 6 or less monster can destroy it in battle,” said Ojin.

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

            “Then back to me,” said Ojin. I play Pot of Greed (Info), so that’s 2 cards for me. Next, I play Cost Down (Info), which by discarding a card, drops the level of every monster in my hand by 2 so I Summon Satellite Cannon (Info) (0 ATK) in Attack Mode. Next, I use my face-down Call of the Haunted (Info) Trap to revive the Satellite Cannon (Info) I threw out. Satellite Cannon appears. Then I play my Inferno Reckless Summon (Info) Spell, letting me play a third Satellite Cannon (Info) in Attack Mode.

            “What’s Yugi worried about? Those Satellites are no match for Yugi’s King’s Knight,” said Joey.

            “That ends my turn,” said Ojin. The Satellite Cannons’ ATKs rise to 1000. I forgot to mention that my Satellite Cannons get 1000 ATK every round during my End Phase. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I Summon Queen’s Knight (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Yugi. Next, with the King and Queen out, I can Summon Jack’s Knight (Info) (1900 ATK) in Attack Mode. King’s Knight, destroy Satellite Cannon on the right, Queen’s Knight the middle Satellite and Jack’s Knight the right Satellite! None of the Satellite Cannons are destroyed but Ojin’s LP drops to 6000.

            “What’s the deal? Those monsters were weaker than Yugi’s,” said Joey.

            “My Satellites can’t be destroyed by a monster whose Level is less than 8,” said Ojin.

            “I end my turn,” said Yugi. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “I play Charge (Info),” said Ojin. My Satellite Cannons get 2000 ATK! The Satellite Cannons’ ATKs rise to 3000. Satellite Cannon 1, destroy his King’s Knight! King’s Knight is destroyed and Yugi’s LP drops to 6600. Satellite #2, destroy his Queen’s Knight! Queen’s Knight is destroyed and Yugi’s LP drops to 5100. Satellite 3, destroy his Jack’s Knight! Jack’s Knight is destroyed and Yugi’s LP drops to 4000. The Satellite Cannons’ ATKs and Satellite Base’s DEF drop to 0. That ends my turn. The Satellite Cannons’ ATKs and Satellite Base’s DEF rise to 1000. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “Alright, my move,” said Yugi. I activate Card of Sanctity (Info). So we both draw cards until our hands hold 6. Next, since a card effect put it into my hand, I Summon Watapon (Info) (200 DEF) in Defense Mode. Next, I Tribute my Watapon for Dark Magician Girl (Info) (2000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Then, I equip her with Book of Secret Arts (Info), giving her 300 more ATK and DEF! Dark Magician Girl’s stats rise to (2300/2000). Dark Magician Girl, attack his middle Satellite Cannon! Satellite Cannon is not destroyed but Ojin’s LP drops to 4700. That ends my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I switch my Satellite Cannons to Defense Mode and end my turn,” said Ojin. The Satellite Cannons’ ATKs and Satellite Base’ DEF rise to 2000. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I play Monster Reborn (Info) to revive Watapon (Info) from my Graveyard in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. Watapon appears. Next, I Summon Silent Magician LV4 (Info) (1000 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “My move,” said Ojin.

            “My Silent Magician gets 500 ATK now, since you’re drawing a card,” said Yugi. Silent Magician’s ATK rises to 1500.

            “Whatever. It doesn’t bother me,” said Ojin. I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. The Satellite Cannons’ ATKs and Satellite Base’s DEF rise to 3000. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “What’s he waiting for?” asked Yugi to himself. His monsters are stronger than mine. He must be up do something and I’d better find out what or I could lose the Duel!

Turn Out the Light (Part 4)

Previously...

            “Beta, destroy his Knight of Pentacles!” said Yugi. *Knight of Pentacles is destroyed.* Buster Blader, attack directly! *Sartorius’ LP drops to 4200.* That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Most impressive,” said Sartorius. I flip a coin for Light Barrier! *The coin lands.* Tails? How can it be? *Light Barrier is destroyed.* I activate Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards. Next, I play Selection of Fate, so you pick a card in my hand and if it’s a monster, I can Summon it, but since I have only one card, you have no choice so I Summon Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon (2800 ATK) in Attack Mode.

“Oh no! It has 2800 ATK points, which is enough to destroy Yugi’s Buster Blader!” said Joey.

            “He’ll be defenseless!” said Tea`.

            “Precisely!” said Sartorius. Now for The Moon’s effect.* He flips a coin and it lands.* It’s Heads, so during my Standby Phase, I get a Token. The Moon, destroy his Buster Blader! *Buster Blader is destroyed and Yugi’s LP drops to 700.* That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “This is my last chance to win this!” said Yugi. Please, let this be a card that can beat Sartorius! I activate Card of Sanctity, so we both draw cards until our hands hold 6! Next, I Summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard (1200 DEF) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn. (Hand: 5 cards)

            “Time to end this!” said Sartorius. First, thanks to The Moon, I get a Token (0 DEF) in Defense Mode. Then I Tribute it for Arcana Force XV - The Fiend (2500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Now for his effect! *The coin lands.* Heads, so when he attacks, I can destroy 1 of your monsters. The Fiend, attack! Celtic Guard is destroyed. The Moon, make him see the light! Yugi’s LP remain unchanged.

Turn Out the Light (Part 3)

Previously...

            “I Summon Yellow Gadget (1200 DEF) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Two turns left before you see the light!” said Sartorius. Now I must use my Field Spell’s effect again. Heads once more so it stays. Next I use Reverse Reborn to revive The World in Attack Mode! *The World reappears.* Now for his effect, which thanks to my Reverse Reborn Spell, is Tails so during your Standby Phase, you get to add the top 2 cards in your Graveyard to your hand. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            “Alright, it’s my move!” said Yugi. I Summon Marshmallon (500 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “How sad,” said Sartorius drawing his card. I flip a coin for Light Barrier! Heads as usual. The Lovers, destroy his Marshmallon! *Marshmallon is destroyed and his LP rises to 8300.* The Light Ruler, destroy his Witch! *Witch of the Black Forest is destroyed and his LP rises to 9400.* That ends my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “My move and I flip a coin for Light Barrier!” said Sartorius. It stays. Lovers, attack him directly!

            “I activate Mirror Force!” said Yugi. This better work or I’m seeing the light next turn! The Light Ruler, The World and The World are destroyed.

            “I end my turn,” said Sartorius. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I Tribute Yellow Gadget and King’s Knight for Buster Blader (Info) (2600 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Yugi. Buster Blader, attack him directly! Sartorius’ LP drops to 5400. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “My draw,” said Sartorius. I flip a coin for Light Barrier! The coin lands. My Barrier will stick around another turn. Next, I Summon Knight of Pentacles (Info) (1000 DEF) in Defense Mode. Then, I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “Here goes,” said Yugi. I Summon Beta the Magnet Warrior (Info) (1700 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            “I activate my Intervention of Fate (Info) Spell,” said Sartorius.

            “But how? You don’t have any face-down cards!” said Yugi.

            “True, but that’s not the only way to activate Spell and Trap Cards,” said Sartorius. You see, by discarding my Spell to my Grave when you Summon a monster, I can play a Spell Card from my hand and I choose Ace of Sword (Info)! He flips a coin and it lands. Heads, so I can select 1 of your monsters and you take damage equal to its ATK. I choose your Buster Blader! Yugi’s LP drops to 1000.

            “Beta, destroy his Knight of Pentacles!” said Yugi. Knight of Pentacles is destroyed. Buster Blader, attack directly! Sartorius’ LP drops to 2800. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “Most impressive,” said Sartorius. I flip a coin for Light Barrier! The coin lands. Tails? How can it be? Light Barrier is destroyed. I activate Pot of Greed (Info), giving me 2 cards. Next, I play Selection of Fate (Info), forcing you to normally pick a card in my hand and if it’s a monster, I can Summon it, but since I have only one card, you have no choice but to choose it so I Summon Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon (Info) (2800 ATK) in Attack Mode.

            “Oh no! It has 2800 ATK points, which is enough to destroy Yugi’s Buster Blader!” said Joey.

            “He’ll be defenseless!” said Tea`.

            “Precisely!” said Sartorius. Now for The Moon’s effect He flips a coin  and it lands. It’s Heads. So during my Standby Phase, I get a Token. The Moon, destroy his Buster Blader! Buster Blader is destroyed and Yugi’s LP drops to 700. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “This is my last chance to win this!” said Yugi. Please, let this be a card that can beat Sartorius! I activate Card of Sanctity (Info), so we both draw cards until our hands hold 6! Next, I Summon Obnoxious Celtic Guard (Info) (1200 DEF) in Defense Mode. That ends my turn. (Hand: 5 cards)

            “Then I Summon Arcana Force IV - The Emperor (1400 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Sartorius. Now comes the Emperor’s effect. *He flips a coin and it lands.* Heads once again. So my Arcana Force monsters get 500 points! *The Empress’ ATK rises to 1800 while the Emperor’s ATK rises to 1900.*

            “I use Monster Reborn to revive my Dark Magician Girl (1700 DEF) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. I discarded her with Card Destruction.

            “I Summon Arcana Force  I - The Magician (1100 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Sartorius. Next comes his ability! *The coin lands.* Heads, so his ATK is doubled when a Spell Card is played. Temperance, destroy his Dark Magician Girl! Dark Magician Girl is destroyed. Arcana Force I, attack his Watapon! Watapon is destroyed. The World, attack him directly!

            “I activate Stronghold the Moving Fortress (Info)!” said Yugi. Now it becomes a monster with 2000 DEF!

            “Fine. The World, destroy his Stronghold!” said Sartorius. Stronghold is destroyed. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            “I play Swords of Revealing Light (Info), so your monsters can’t attack me for 3 turns,” said Yugi.

            “That ends my turn,” said Yugi. Arcana Force I’s ATK returns to 1100. (Hand: 0 cards)

Since it’s heads, when 1 of your monsters is destroyed by battle, I gain LP equal to its ATK and the effects of Effect Monsters you control are negated, but that’s not all for when I Summon an Arcana Force monster, I don’t flip a coin. I Tribute my Magician, my Temperance and The World to Summon Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler (Info) (4000 ATK) in Attack Mode. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            “I Summon Yellow Gadget (Info) (1200 DEF) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. That ends my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

Next I use Reverse Reborn (Info) to revive The World (Info) (3100 ATK) in Attack Mode! The World reappears. Now for his effect, which thanks to my Reverse Reborn Spell, it’s Tails so during your Standby Phase, you get to add the top 2 cards in your Graveyard to your hand. That ends my turn. (Hand: 1 card)

            “Here goes,” said Yugi. It’s my last turn for Swords so I should make this next move count! I Summon Witch of the Black Forest (Info) (1200 DEF) in Defense Mode and end my turn. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “You think those monsters will beat me?” asked Sartorius. Suit yourself! I draw and flip a coin for Light Barrier! Since it stays, I Summon Arcana Force VI - The Lovers (Info) (1600 ATK) in Attack Mode. That ends my turn. Swords is destroyed. (Hand: 1 card)

Turn Out the Light (Part 1)

Previously...

            “Alright, here goes,” said Yugi. I activate Card of Sanctity, so now we draw until our hands hold 6 cards. These cards better be good or I won’t be able to rescue Mai or stop Sartorius! Excellent! I Summon Queen’s Knight (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Queen’s Knight, destroy her Silpheed! Silpheed is destroyed.

            “Now you lose a random card from your hand,” said Mai.

            “Fine,” said Yugi. He discards a card. Next, I play Monster Reborn on the card you forced me to throw out, Dark Magician Girl (2000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Dark Magician Girl, destroy Birdface! *Birdface is destroyed.*

            “Now I add White Knight Harpie Lady 2 to my hand,” said Mai. *She shuffles her Deck.*

            “Silent Swordsman, attack her directly!” said Yugi. *Mai’s LP drops to 3400.* Valkyrion, end this Duel! *Mai’s LP drops to 0.*

            “Ah, you’re the ones who want me to stop what I’m doing, aren’t you?” asked Sartorius. Well I have already foreseen the outcome and it lands in your defeat!

            “That overgrown coat you’re wearing must be frying your brain,” said Joey. Yugi’s going to take you down!

            “Let’s find out,” said Sartorius.

            “Fine with me,” said Yugi. Let’s Duel!

            “I’ll start with Arcana Force III - The Empress (Info) (1300 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Sartorius. Now it’s ability activates. He flips a coin and it lands. Heads, so when you Summon a monster, I can Summon an Arcana Force monster from my hand. Next, I set 1 card face-down and end my turn. (Hand: 4 cards)

            “I Summon King’s Knight (Info) (1600 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Yugi.

            “Then I Summon Arcana Force IV - The Emperor (Info) (1400 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Sartorius. Now comes the Emperor’s effect. He flips a coin and it lands. Heads again. So my Arcana Force monsters get 500 points! The Empress’ ATK rises to 1800 while the Emperor’s ATK rises to 1900.

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

            “I Summon Arcana Force VII - The Chariot (Info) (2200 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Sartorius. Now what will his ability be? He flips a coin and it lands. Tails, so when it’s destroyed in battle, it’s Summoned on your side of the field. Chariot, destroy his King’s Knight! King’s Knight is destroyed and Yugi’s LP drops to 7200. Empress, attack him directly!

            “I discard Kuriboh and negate the damage,” said Yugi.

            “Very well, Emperor, direct attack!” said Sartorius.

            “I activate my Soul Shield (Info) Trap,” said Yugi. It negates your attack and ends your Battle Phase at a cost of half my points. His LP drops to 4000.

            “I end my turn,” said Sartorius. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I activate Card Destruction (Info), forcing both of us to discard our hands and redraw an equal number of cards from our Decks,” said Yugi. Next, I Summon Watapon (Info) (200 DEF) in Defense Mode since I drew it with a card effect.

            “Then, thanks to my Empress, I Tribute my Chariot for Arcana Force XIV - Temperance (Info) (2400 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Sartorius. Then, his ability activates. He flips a coin and it lands. Heads, so any Battle Damage I take is halved.

            “I use Monster Reborn (Info) to revive Dark Magician Girl (Info) (1700 DEF) in Defense Mode,” said Yugi. I discarded her with Card Destruction.

            “I Tribute my Emperor and Empress for Arcana Force XXI - The World (Info) (3100 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Sartorius. Since his effect is heads, I can send 2 monsters I control to my Grave and skip your turn.

            “I end my turn,” said Yugi. (Hand: 0 cards)

            “I Summon Arcana Force  I - The Magician (Info) (1100 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Sartorius. Next comes his ability! The coin lands. Heads, so his ATK is doubled when a Spell Card is played. Temperance, destroy his Dark Magician Girl!

            “Yugi, there you are!” said Tea`. We’ve been looking everywhere for you!

            “Same here,” said Yugi.

            “So now what?” asked Tea`.

            “Time to put an end to Sartorius’ plan,” said Yugi.

            “Sorry hun but that’s not going to happen,” said Mai.

            “That sounded like Mai Valentine,” said Joey.      
            “Wheeler, I found you, now it’s time to Duel!” said Mai.

            “No, you’re going to Duel me,” said Yugi. It’s time to set you free!

            “I Summon Silent Swordsman LV3 (1000 ATK) in Attack Mode,” said Yugi. Summoned Skull, destroy her White Knight Roc! *White Knight Roc is destroyed and Mai’s LP drops to 7500. Silent Swordsman, attack her directly! Mai’s LP drops to 6500.* That ends my turn. (Hand: 3 cards)

            “I activate my face-down card Hysteric Party!” said Mai. By discarding a card, I can bring back all Harpie Lady cards from my Graveyard. White Knight Harpie Lady 1 appears. Next, I Tribute her for ~White Knight Roc~ (2400 ATK) in Attack Mode. Now my monster, attack him directly! *Yugi’s LP drops to 5600.* My monster can attack directly if you have a monster with more ATK than mine and at least 2 face-down cards. That ends my turn. (Hand: 2 cards)

            “Alright, here goes,” said Yugi. I activate Card of Sanctity, so now we draw until our hands hold 6 cards. These cards better be good or I won’t be able to rescue Mai or stop Sartorius! Excellent! I Summon Queen’s Knight (Info) (1500 ATK) in Attack Mode. Queen’s Knight, destroy her Silpheed! Silpheed is destroyed.

            “Now you lose a random card from your hand,” said Mai.

            “Fine,” said Yugi. He discards a card. Next, I play Monster Reborn (Info) on the card you forced me to throw out, Dark Magician Girl (Info) (2000 ATK) in Attack Mode. Dark Magician Girl, destroy Birdface! Birdface is destroyed.

            “Now I add White Knight Harpie Lady 2 to my hand,” said Mai. She shuffles her Deck.

            “Silent Swordsman, attack her directly!” said Yugi. Mai’s LP drops to 3400. Valkyrion, end this Duel! Mai’s LP drops to 0.

            “What happened?” asked Mai.

            “Are you alright?” asked Yugi.

            “Yes, I’m fine. What am I doing here?” asked Mai.

            “You were a member of the Society of Light and challenged me to a Duel but I freed you,” said Yugi. Now there’s only one thing to do, take down Sartorius!

            “Be careful. this guy is a complete nutcase,” said Joey.

            “I know,” said Yugi. I must defeat him so that his madness stops! He races off.

            “We’re coming, too, Yugi!” said Tea`. The rest of the gang follow. A couple of hours later...

            “Ah, you’re the ones who want me to stop what I’m doing, aren’t you?” asked Sartorius. Well I have already foreseen the outcome and it ends in your defeat!

            “Not gonna happen, ya creep!” said Joey.

            “Destiny would like to disagree,” said Sartorius. You all have been destined to see the light and so has everyone else in Battle City! So that’s what I’m going to do and a small runt like you isn’t going to stop me.

            “This small runt is the king of games,” said Joey. So you don’t stand a chance against him! Sartorius laughs.

            “Well I’m going to put that to an end,” said Sartorius. When I defeat you in a Duel, you and the rest of the world will see the light!

            “That overgrown coat you’re wearing must be frying your brain,” said Joey. Yugi’s going to take you down!

            “Let’s find out,” said Sartorius.

            “Fine with me,” said Yugi. Let’s Duel!
