Yubel - Pain Initiator (4)

Previously…

           "It's time to unleash the deadliest form of me," said Yubel.

           "I thought you said Ultimate Nightmare was your strongest form," said Yugi.

           "Say hello to ~Yubel - Creator of Destruction~ (0000) in Attack Mode!" said Yubel. *She laughs* It's all over for you now! Nothing in your entire deck can defeat it! First and foremost, when my monster battles, it destroys your monster after damage calculation. It also can't be destroyed by battle or card effects and any Battle Damage normally dealt to me is dealt to you instead. Now I attack you with my strongest form! *Valkyrion is destroyed and Yugi's LPs drop to 600, then rise back to 4100 and Valkyrion reappears* How is this possible?

           "I activated my Mirage Ruler Trap Card," said Yugi. It brought back all the monsters that were destroyed this turn and restored my LPs back to what they were at the beginning of the turn.

           "I set 1 card and end my turn," said Yubel. (0)

           "This could be my last turn," thought Yugi. It all comes down to my next draw so it's time to find out what it is! Just what I needed! I use Card of Sanctity giving us both 6 cards since both our hands are empty. Next, I summon Watapon (0300) in Defense Mode since it was put in my hand by a card effect. Then I summon Witch of the Black Forest (1200) in Defense Mode. Then I use Magical Dimension to tribute my Witch for Dark Magician (2500) in Attack Mode and destroy Snipe Hunter! Snipe Hunter is destroyed. With Witch's effect, I can add Green Gadget to my hand. Now I play Spirit Sword of Sealing and target your Creator of Destruction. It removes your monster from play until one of your monsters is destroyed. Yubel - Creator of Destruction disappears. Dark Magician, attack her directly! Yubel's LPs drop to 3500. I set 1 card face down to end my turn. (1)

           "By letting me draw those extra cards, Yugi, I now have more ways of defeating you!" said Yubel. I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back my Snipe Hunter! *Snipe Hunter appears* Next I use Snipe Hunter's ability to toss 1 card in my hand and roll a die. If' it isn't 1 or 6, your Dark Magician is destroyed. The die lands. A 1 so you're spared on the first roll but I'll discard another card and try again. The die rolls. SIX? Fine. I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (3)

           "I equip my Dark Magician with Magic Formula, raising his ATK by 700! Dark Magician's ATK rises to 3200. Dark Magician, destroy her Snipe Hunter! Snipe Hunter is destroyed and Yubel's LPs drop to 1800.

           "Since you destroyed my monster in battle, not only do I get my Creator of Destruction back but now I can activate Sinister Seeds, giving me a Sinister Seed Token for every 500 points of Battle Damage I just took. 3 Sinister Seed Tokens (0100) appear in Defense Mode and Creator of Destruction reappears in Attack Mode.

           "I end my turn," said Yugi. (1)

           "That was your last turn," said Yubel. When my attack is complete, you're finished! I attack your Dark Magician with my Creator of Destruction!

           "I activate Soul Shield!" said Yugi. Now the Battle Phase ends but I have to cut my LPs in half. His LPs drop to 300.

           "I end my turn," said Yubel. (2)

           "It's time I end this duel!" said Yugi.

           "With only one card in hand and so few LPs?" questioned Yubel. Just try!

           "I will!" said Yugi. I activate Dark Spear and equip it to my Dark Magician! Now when Dark Magician attacks a monster in Defense Mode and has more ATK than the Defense Position monster, the extra damage is dealt to you, Yubel! Dark Magician, destroy one of the Sinister Seed Tokens and end this duel! The token is destroyed and Yubel's LPs drop to 0.

           "Yeah, I knew you could do it, Yug!" said Joey.

           "Yugi," said Yubel

           "What do ya want now, Yubel?" asked Joey.

           "I'm sorry for all the wrongs that I have committed," said Yubel. It was all a ploy to bring you here so that I could put an end to all my rage. Now that it's been done, I can finally move on. She disappears.

           "Who knows what's lying around the corner," thought Yugi. We'll be ready for whatever we find!

Yubel - Pain Initiator (3)

Previously…

            "Once again you have destroyed me but I'm about to be reborn once more!" said Yubel. Here is the final form of my body, Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare (0000) in Attack Mode! I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (2)

            "Since you're out of monsters, I'll go ahead and play a monster of my own," said Yubel. I summon Armageddon Knight (1400) in Attack Mode. Armageddon Knight's effect activates, letting me send Samsara Lotus to my Grave. Armageddon Knight, attack him directly!

            "Now that she has another monster out, I can destroy that monster but what if that's what she wants me to do?" thought Yugi. I'll have to be careful since I've already lost nearly half my LPs. I use Monster Reborn to revive Alpha in Defense Mode. *Alpha appears.* Then I send it and the 2 other Magnet Warriors in my hand to the Grave for Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500) in Attack Mode. Valkyrion, attack Armageddon Knight! Armageddon Knight is destroyed and Yubel's LPs drop to 5900. I end my turn. (0)

           "It's time to unleash the deadliest form of me," said Yubel.

           "I thought you said Ultimate Nightmare was your strongest form," said Yugi.

           "Maybe I did but I guess I had forgotten one," said Yubel. I use another Limit Reverse to bring my 1st form back (0000) in Attack Mode! Her first form appears. Then I switch it to Defense Mode to destroy it and unleash another Terror Incarnate (0000) in Attack Mode! Her first form disappears and her second form appears. This isn't all as I activate my final Limit Reverse card to bring my first form back once more! Her first form appears again. Now the time has finally come as I discard 1 card to activate Super Polymerization and send my 3 forms to the Grave so that they become one! *A new monster appears*

           "What is dat thing?" asked Joey.

           "Say hello to ~Yubel - Creator of Destruction~ (0000) in Attack Mode!" said Yubel. *She laughs* It's all over for you now! Nothing in your entire deck can defeat it! First and foremost, when my monster battles, it destroys your monster after damage calculation. It also can't be destroyed by battle or card effects and any Battle Damage normally dealt to me is dealt to you instead. Now I attack you with my strongest form! Valkyrion is destroyed and Yugi's LPs drop to 600, then rise back to 4100 and Valkyrion (3850) reappears in Defense Mode. How is this possible?

           "I activated my Mirage Ruler Trap Card," said Yugi. It brought back all the monsters that were destroyed this turn and restored my LPs back to what they were at the beginning of the turn.

           "I set 1 card and end my turn," said Yubel. (0)

           "Here goes!" said Yugi. I use Pot of Greed, giving me 2 cards. Next I use Change of Heart to take your Creator of Destruction!

           "I activate Dark Illusion!" said Yubel. With this card, your Change of Heart is negated since it's targeting a DARK monster.

           "I activate Swords of Revealing Light and end my turn," said Yugi. (0)

           "I set another card face down to end my turn," said Yubel. (0)

           "I draw," said Yugi.

           "You've activated my Battle Mania Trap Card," said Yubel. Now your Valkyrion is forced into Attack Mode and must attack my Creator of Destruction. Valkyrion is destroyed and Yugi's LPs return to 600.

           "What am I supposed to do now?" asked Yugi to himself. Her monster is basically invincible and I have no cards on the field or in my hand and so few LPs. I'll just have to hold on with Swords for now. I end my turn. (1)

           "You're not fairing to well, being the king of games," said Yubel. Perhaps you should surrender now?

           "Never!" said Yugi. I'm in it until my LPs hit 0!

           "Suit yourself as I'm about to end this duel," said Yubel. I play Snipe Hunter (1500) in Attack Mode. Snipe Hunter, end this duel!

           "I discard my Kuriboh in my hand to reduce the Battle Damage to 0," said Yugi.

           "I will defeat you one way or another!" said Yubel. I end my turn. (0)

           "This could be my last turn," thought Yugi. It all comes down to my next draw so it's time to find out what it is!

TO BE CONTINUED...

Yubel - Pain Initiator (2)

Previously…

            "I'll start and each round I'll tell part of my story," said Yubel. It started many years ago before Yugi actually had his current friends. All he had was me. I stood by him to make sure that he was safe at all costs. I was always there for him so even if no one sat with him at lunch, I would. Now then I'll start with Double Coston (1700) in Attack Mode and 2 cards face down to end my turn. (3)

            "I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior (1400) in Attack Mode," said Yugi. Alpha, attack her directly!

            "That's so typical of you, Yugi," said Yubel. You throw me away and now you intend to hurt me even more? We'll see if you really wish to attack me once I bring myself back with Limit Reverse! Since I have no more than 1000 ATK, I can be reborn with this Trap Card. *Yubel appears on the field.* This is only the beginning of the suffering I have planned for you! You'll regret the very day you threw me away and deserted me!

            "Alpha, attack Yubel's self!" said Yugi.

            "Aw yeah, way to take out dat monster of hers, Yug!" said Joey. Yubel's self remains on the field and Yugi's LPs drop to 6600. Say WHAT? Why is that monster still dere and why'd Yug take damage?

            "It's all due to my own effects," said Yubel. I can't be destroyed in battle and any Battle Damage I receive is dealt to my opponent instead. This is why I have such an extensive cost to stay on the field.

            "I set 1 card face down to complete my turn," said Yugi. (3)

            "I switch myself to Defense Mode which triggers the other effect of Limit Reverse, destroying myself," said Yubel. This in turn has triggered my final effect! Since I was destroyed by anything other than my own, I can bring myself back in another form! I have been reborn as Yubel - Terror Incarnate (0000) in Attack Mode. This is where my story will literally come in to play! However, this isn't all I have planned for this turn as I play The Calculator (????) in Attack Mode. It's ATK becomes the Levels of all monsters I have and multiplied by 300! Calculator's ATK rises to 3900. Calculator, destroy his Alpha the Magnet Warrior! Alpha is destroyed and Yugi's LPs drop to 4100. I set 1 card face down and my turn isn't complete without my reincarnated self's ability! I now destroy all other monsters out! *Calculator, Big Shield Gardna, and Alpha the Magnet Warrior are destroyed (3)

           "That's one powerful effect!" said Joey. Hang in there, Yug!

           "I have to figure out how to destroy that monster," thought Yugi. I fear that this one has some other special abilities that I'm not aware of so I'll just have to play it safe. I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior (1800) in Defense Mode and set 1 more card face down to end my turn. (2)

           "Obviously now the story is complete but the pain and suffering will continue," said Yubel drawing her card. I summon a second Calculator in Attack Mode! Calculator's ATK rises to 3900. Calculator, attack directly!

           "I activate Mirror Force!" said Yugi. Since your monsters are in Attack Mode, they're all destroyed! Both Calculators and Terror Incarnate are destroyed.

           "Once again you have destroyed me but I'm about to be reborn once more!" said Yubel. Here is the final form of my body, Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare (0000) in Attack Mode! I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (2)

           "I set 1 card face down and end my turn," said Yugi. (2) 

           "Since you're out of monsters, I'll go ahead and play a monster of my own," said Yubel. I summon Armageddon Knight (1400) in Attack Mode. Armageddon Knight's effect activates, letting me send Samsara Lotus to my Grave. Armageddon Knight, attack him directly!

           "I activate Stronghold the Moving Fortress!" said Yugi. It's now a Trap Monster with 2000 DEF and I'll summon it in Defense Mode. Stronghold appears.

           "I'll have my ultimate form attack it then, destroying it and its ATK comes out of your LPs," said Yubel. Stronghold is destroyed. That ends my turn. (2)

           "Now that she has another monster out, I can destroy that monster but what if that's what she wants me to do?" thought Yugi. I'll have to be careful since I've already lost nearly half my LPs. I use Monster Reborn to revive Alpha (1700) in Defense Mode. Alpha appears. Then I send it and the 2 other Magnet Warriors in my hand to the Grave for Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (3500) in Attack Mode. Valkyrion, attack Armageddon Knight!

            "Alright, Yubel," said Aster. Think you're tough enough for me? Then come duel me and find out!

            "Well then, let's just see how much of a pro you are," said Yubel.

            "I activate Destiny Signal, letting me replace my destroyed Doom Lord with Destiny Hero - Defender (2700) in Defense Mode," said Aster. By the way, what does your Yubel card do?

            "In order to stay on the field, she needs a tribute so I offer up my Doom Shaman," said Yubel. This in turn activates Doom Shaman's other ability. When it leaves the field, it destroys all monsters that it Special Summoned so she's destroyed as well. Now I can unleash a new body for myself! Since my first form was destroyed by an effect other than her own, I can now bring out Yubel - Terror Incarnate (0000) in Attack Mode.

           "That can't harm my Defender," said Aster. My monster has 2700 DEF points, while your monster has nothing.

           "My new form has an effect as well," said Yubel. It destroys all other monsters during my End Phases.

           "It what?" said Aster.

           "I end my turn," said Yubel. *All other monsters are destroyed* Before long, you'll regret challenging me! (2)

           "Before your turn officially ends, I activate Destiny Mirage, letting me bring back all the monsters that were just destroyed this turn," said Aster. Defender (2700) and Diamond Dude (1600) appear in Defense Mode. Now then, to kick things off, I use the effect of the Destiny Draw I tossed out with Diamond Dude's effect, giving me 2 extra cards. Next I summon Destiny Hero - Dunker (1700) in Defense Mode, then tribute my 3 monsters for Destiny Hero - Plasma (1900) in Attack Mode. With its effect, I can take your Terror Incarnate!

           "I activate Dark Illusion!" said Yubel Now your Plasma's effect is negated and Plasma is destroyed. Plasma is destroyed.

           "I set 2 cards to end my turn," said Aster. (2)

           "I summon Double Coston (1700) in Attack Mode," said Yubel. Coston, attack him directly!

           "I activate Eternal Dread!" said Aster. It adds 2 more Clock Counters to my Prison so with 4 Clock Counters on that Field Spell, I can't take any more Battle Damage.

           "I'll destroy your Clock Tower with Raigeki Break!" said Yubel. All I need to do is discard 1 card and your Clock Tower is destroyed! She discards her card and Clock Tower is destroyed.

           "Thank you," said Aster. Now I can bring out Destiny Hero - Dreadmaster (????) in Attack Mode and due to his ability, I bring back Diamond Dude and Dunker! Diamond Dude and Dunker appear/ Now Dreadmaster's ATK and DEF become the total ATK and DEF of Diamond Dude and Dunker! Dreadmaster's stats become (2600/3300). Plus, since Dreadmaster hit the field because of Clock Tower Prison, my monsters won't be affected by your Terror Incarnate this round.

           "I set 1 card face down to end my turn," said Yubel. (0)

           "Now then," said Aster drawing his card. You get your Armageddon Knight back. Armageddon Knight appears on Yubel's field. Next, Dreadmaster attacks your Double Coston!

           "I activate Mirror Force!" said Yubel. Your Attack Position monsters are destroyed! Dreadmaster, Dunker, and Diamond Dude are destroyed.

           "I end my turn," said Aster. (3)

           "It's finally time I end this duel," said Yubel. You have no monsters left so I'll summon The Calculator (????) in Attack Mode and his ATK becomes the Levels of all monsters I have x 300. The Calculator's ATK rises to 5100. Calculator, attack him directly! Aster's LPs drop to 1100 Double Coston, end this duel! Aster's LPs drop to 0.

           "Yubel! You're going to pay for all the hurt you've done this week!" said Jaden.

           "Just how do you figure that, Jaden?" asked Yubel. I can posses anyone I want into doing anything I want.

           "Aster may have been beaten, Yubel, but you full well know that I am capable of taking you down!" said Jaden.

           "I don't need to duel you," said Yubel. You and I are bonded with exception that I have another matter to take care of and when I do, I'll finally have my revenge!

A Hero of the Phoenix (1)

In downtown Domino City…

            "Well there's something you don't see too often," said Aster. What's this crowd doing here? He races over. Anyone here know what's going on?

            "Oh, hey bro," said Jaden.

            "Jaden?" questioned Aster. What are you doing here?

            "We've been fighting to get our friends back to normal," said Jaden.

            "Back to normal?" questioned Aster. From what?

            "From me," said Yubel. Aster Phoenix, so good of you to show up. Too bad you missed all the fun.

            "Who are you and what do you mean by fun?" asked Aster.

            "She's been possessing other duelists and giving them darker versions of their real deck," said Jaden.

            "Yeah, she even possessed me," said Yugi.

            "Aren't you Yugi Muto, King of Games?" questioned Aster. How'd she possess you?

            "Like this," said Yubel. She tries to merge with Hassleberry. Why can't I merge with him?

            "I've got dino DNA in my blood. I can't be possessed," said Hassleberry.

            "Alright, Yubel," said Aster. Think you're tough enough for me? Then come duel me and find out!

            "You don't seem worthy of facing me," said Yubel.

            "I'm a pro duelist," said Aster. I even managed to beat Jaden.

            "Well then. Let's just see how much of a pro you are," said Yubel.

            "Now that's more like it," said Aster. I think I'll start with Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude (1600) in Defense Mode and I'll set 1 card to take a break. (4)

            "I summon Armageddon Knight (1200) in Defense Mode," said Yubel. With his effect, I send Doom Shaman to my Grave. Then I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (3)

            "Not much of a play," said Aster. I play Clock Tower Prison and with it, each turn, it gets a Clock Counter. Next I play Destiny Hero - Doom Lord (0600) in Attack Mode. Then I trigger my Diamond Dude's effect and flip over my top card. If it's a Normal Spell, it goes to my Grave for the turn and I can use its effect next round so let's find out what it is! *He flips over the card* It's Destiny Draw so I'll use it next round. Now I use my Doom Lord's effect to make your Armageddon Knight disappear for 2 rounds! Armageddon Knight disappears. Now I set 1 card to end my turn. (2)

            "I activate Swing of Memories," said Yubel. Now I can bring back a Normal Monster in my Grave for the turn and I choose Doom Shaman (2400) in Attack Mode.

            "That's not a Normal Monster," said Aster. Or is your sight going with your monster?

            "Its main effect makes it a Normal Monster while on the field or in the Grave," said Yubel. However, I can now make it an Effect Monster by Gemini Summoning it!

            "Gemini Summoning?" said Aster. What do you mean by that?

            "It counts as my Normal Summon for the turn but it turns on its bonus effect," said Yubel. Now that it's an effect monster, I can now Special Summon Yubel (0000) from my hand in Attack Mode! Doom Shaman, take out that Doom Lord! Doom Lord is destroyed and Aster's LPs drop to 6200.

            "I activate Destiny Signal, letting me replace my destroyed Doom Lord with Destiny Hero - Defender (2700) in Defense Mode," said Aster. By the way, what does your Yubel card do?

           "In order to stay on the field, she needs a tribute so I offer up my Doom Shaman," said Yubel. This in turn activates Doom Shaman's other ability. When it leaves the field, it destroys all monsters that it Special Summoned so she's destroyed as well. Doom Shaman disappears and Yubel is destroyed. Now I can unleash a new body for myself! Since my first form was destroyed by an effect other than her own, I can now bring out Yubel - Terror Incarnate (0000) in Attack Mode.

           "That can't harm my Defender," said Aster. My monster has 2700 DEF points, while your monster has nothing.

           "My new form has an effect as well," said Yubel. It destroys all other monsters during my End Phases.

           "It what?" said Aster.

           "I end my turn," said Yubel. All other monsters are destroyed. Before long, you'll regret challenging me! (2)

King of Crimes (3)

Previously…

           "I use Polymerization to send my 2 monsters to my Grave for Elemental Hero Rampart Blaster (2500) in Defense Mode," said Jaden. Next I throw down a face down and that'll do. (0)

           "Is that all you know how to do?" questioned YY. It's hard for me to believe that you run Elemental Heroes that cower in fear of the enemy. No matter, though, I'll be glad to run over them and your LPs. I tribute Brain Golem for Evil Hero Malicious Edge (2600) in Attack Mode. It only needs one Tribute if you control a monster. Malicious Edge, take out Rampart Blaster! *Rampart Blaster is destroyed and Jaden's LPs drop to 6100.* That ends my turn. (0)

           "Watch this," said Jaden drawing his 2 cards. I bring out Elemental Hero Neos (2500) in Attack Mode from my hand using Necroshade's effect! He's gonna be part of what takes you down, Yubel!

           "His points are still weaker than my Malicious Edge," said YY. Besides, my Burdon of the Mighty is still in play, which weakens your Neos by 700 ATK! Neos' ATK drops to 1800.

           "Yeah well not after I play Skyscraper," said Jaden. Now when Neos attacks and is weaker than his attack target, he gets 1000 ATK so Neos, attack that Malicious Edge! Neos' ATK rises to 2800 and Malicious Edge is destroyed, leaving YY with 5400. Your go. Neos' ATK drops to 1800. (1)

           "I use Card of Sanctity so we draw until we have 6 cards in our hands," said YY. Next I discard Darknight Parshath to bring out another Dark Grepher (1700) in Attack Mode! Another Dark Grepher appears. Then I tribute my 3 monsters for Destiny Hero - Plasma (1900) in Attack Mode. Using his ability, I'll take your Neos! Neos equips to Plasma and Plasma's ATK rises to 3150. Too bad you're out of monsters so Plasma, attack directly! Jaden's LPs drop to 2950. I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (1)

           "I need a strategy," thought Jaden. While she has Plasma out, all of my monsters don't get their effects. Worse yet, that Plasma has over 3000 ATK so I'll need to top that if I'm gonna get out of this. I still got Skyscraper out, which will give my heroes a boost when they attack Plasma but my monsters will lose 100 ATK x their Level with Burdon of the Mighty so I think that's where I need to start. I play E - Emergency Call to pick up Elemental Hero Avian! Then I use O - Oversoul to bring back Burstinatrix (0800) in Defense Mode! Burstinatrix appears. Next I use R - Righteous Justice to get rid of Burdon of the Mighty since I have an Elemental Hero out! *Burdon of the Mighty is destroyed* Now I use Poly to send Burstinatrix I control and Avian in my hand to the Grave for Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100) in Attack Mode. Wait I've got even more as I use Miracle Fusion to remove from play Avian, Burstinatrix, Bubbleman and Clayman for Elemental Hero Electrum (2900) in Attack Mode. I've got a second Miracle Fusion to play so I'm usin' it to remove from play Sparkman and Flame Wingman for Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman (2500) in Attack Mode. Here's my final card: Fusion Gate so that I can now bring out Fusion Monsters without Polymerization as I remove from play Flare Wingman and Electrum for my latest and greatest Elemental Hero, ~Elemental Hero Lightning Firestorm~ (5000) in Attack Mode. Lightning Firestorm, destroy his Plasma! Plasma is destroyed and YY's LPs drop to 3550. With Plasma out of the way, my Firestorm's ability can kick in. When he destroys a monster in battle, I can have him attack again if he destroyed a monster with more ATK than my LPs so Lightning Firestorm, end this duel! YY's LPs drop to 0 before Yugi collapses. That's game, Yubel.

            "We'll meet again, Yugi," said Yubel. She disappears.

            "Yugi!" yelled Joey. The gang rush over.

            "Are you alright?" asked Tea`.

            "Yugi, say somethin', man!" said Tristan. Yugi opens his eyes.

            "What am I doing here?" asked Yugi.

            "That freak of nature Yubel took control of you and forced you to duel," said Joey.

            "Where is she now?" asked Yugi.

            "She's gone," said Tristan.

           "I've got a feeling she'll be back," thought Yugi. After all, she appears to be after me for something I've done but I don't even know what that is.

            "We'd better go find a place to sleep for the night," said Joey.

            "Good call," said Tea`.

           "Yeah, I'm quite tired myself," said Jaden. Catch ya later guys! Jaden and crew leave. No matter what, I'm sure Yubel is waiting for the moment to return and throw down with Yugi himself. It'll be his biggest challenge yet!
