At a distance of a few meters, Yuki and Kaiba are now facing each other on the large meadow and cannot take their eyes off each other. Yuki makes a slight movement with her hand and only a few moments later a duel disk materializes on her left arm. Yami and Noah stand a little way off and watch the whole thing.
"Since we are here in my virtual world, I make the rules," Yuki is explaining, "That's why I decide that we use the deck master system, I hope you haven't forgotten how it works." "Don't think I'm stupid ! ", grumbles Kaiba," Of course I still know how to do it. "" All right, then put your deck together from the virtual database! "
Long pallets ofDuelmonsterscards now run down in front of the two and disappear again into the empty air. Each of them touches several cards to select them for his deck. Eventually they both finished their selection. "Now we choose our deckmasters. You can take any monster you want." "All right!" Says Kaiba, "I choose the emperor seahorse!" Yuki looks at him critically. “Wasn't that the same monster that you chose in your duel against Noah?” “Why should I change something that served me well back then?” Replies Kaiba. "Well, if I remember correctly," replies Yuki, "then you almost lost in this duel, and just because Yugi stepped in for you and turned things around for you, you were spared a fate as a living stone statue in cyberspace. "Kaiba glares at her angrily:" Don't remind me of it! "" Let's see if it brings you luck at least this time, "says Yuki. "Pah, only losers need luck! I prefer to rely on my skills," grows Kaiba.
"All right. I'll choose the fire princess as my deck master!" Says Yuki. The two figures immediately appear behind their masters. "I should have guessed it!", Kaiba murmurs, "Stop wasting more time, I want to get this over with." "As you like. It's time for a duel!" With a snap, the two of them let go their cards snap into the cover zone of their dueling disc. The digital display on the lid shows 4000 life points.
"Since I challenged you, I'll start if you allow me," says Yuki and draws her cards. "Should be fine with me," says Kaiba, "you will need every advantage you can get anyway."
"Okay! First of all, I play a card face down and then I summon Maha Vailo (1550/1400) in attack mode and that's done with my turn!" In front of Yuki, a figure appears that resembles a magician in a blue robe. Kaiba throws her a disdainful look: "What a bungling opening! You will see right away that it was a mistake to play such a weak monster in attack mode."He draws a card. “All right, watch and learn!” He slips a card from his hand onto the space on his dueling disc. "I am now summoning my shining dragon (1900/1600)!" A mighty, blue-shimmering dragon materializes on Kaiba's side of the field. "Go my dragon!", Kaiba orders, "Destroy your Maha Vailo!" The dragon immediately starts attacking. With a powerful blow of his claw he smashes the shape of Yuki's monster, which then bursts into many digital pixels. At the same time, Yuki's life point indicator drops to 3650.
But it doesn't seem to bother her any further. “Don't get excited too soon. First of all, I'll activate my trap card: Solemn wishes!” Kaiba's mouth narrows and his face darkens. "This card increases my life points by 500 points, every time I draw a card," Yuki continues. "And now it's my turn and first draw a card, I get a whopping 500 points back." She draws a card and at the same moment her LP indicator climbs up to 4150.
But at the same moment the fire princess's eyes light up behind her and the reading on Kaiba's LP counter drops to 3500. Kaiba gets big eyes, then gives Yuki an angry look. "Oh yes, I probably forgot to mention that", says Yuki now, "The special ability of my deckmaster is that it deducts 500 points from my opponent every time I increase my life points. So you can guess where this is going now can lead. "" Wait! ", growls Kaiba," Finally keep playing! "
"As you like!", She says, "Next I sacrifice 800 life points and play this card: premature burial! It allows me to bring my Maha Vailo back from the cemetery and equip him with this card." Maha Vailo immediately appears again the playing field and Yuki's score falls to 3350. "And since Maha Vailo gets 500 attack points for every equipment card he is equipped with, he now has an impressive 2050 attack points! That is 150 points more than your dragon has, if I'm not mistaken . "
Kaiba looks over at her angrily: "I can count myself!" "Nice for you!", Yuki replies, "Well then Maha Vailo, destroy his dragon!" Black lightning flashes around Maha Vailo's hands and the dragon becomes a powerful ray destroyed and Kaiba's HP meter drops further to 3350. "Lastly, I put a monster in Defense mode on the field and then I end my turn!"
Kaiba calmly draws a card. He glances at it, then says, “One good move doesn't impress me.” He plucks two cards from his hand and slips them into the slots on his dueling disc. "First of all I play two cards face down and then I call my Koumori dragon (1500/1200) in defense mode. With that I end my turn!"Kaiba doesn't show his amusement. She didn't want it any other way! Basically, she's almost lost now. My crush card will finish your deck and then I'll finally have it where I want it: on the ground!
But Yuki doesn't seem to know anything about it. "If that was all of you Seto, now it's my turn again. I draw a card and you know for sure what happens next. I get 500 points and you lose 500." Yuki's display now shows 3850 while Kaibas is on 2850 falls.
“But that shouldn't be all.” She casts a scrutinizing look at the other side of the field. "Quite careless to leave your Koumori dragon so unprotected on the field. Obviously you are trying desperately to protect your life points, but even if you had played it under cover, my Maha Vailo is still stronger than most four stars with his 2050 points -Monster. So Maha Vailo, put an end to his dragon! "
Your monster will immediately attack again. But now a malicious grin covers Kaiba's face. "Who says that I left my monster unprotected? Apparently you forgot my face-down cards. I now activate the magic card: Shrink! This enables me to halve the attack strength of a monster of my choice and I choose my Koumori dragon!" the kite sinks to 750 and only a moment later it is already blown under the force of Maha Vailo's mighty beam.
But Kaiba is not finished yet: "And since you have now destroyed one of my monsters with less than 1000 attack points, I can now play this card: my crush card!" Yuki's eyes open and she flinches when she suddenly sees her Maha Vailo also bursts into a thousand pieces. "My crush card infects your Maha Vailo with a deadly virus", Kaiba explains with relish, "and destroys it, and then every monster with more than 1500 points of attack in your deck! Say goodbye to all your mighty monsters!"
Yuki shoves a few cards into her graveyard with a gloomy face. But then she says: “You may have destroyed all my strong monsters, but by no means my mighty ones!” Kaiba looks at her irritated: “What does that mean?” “Very simple!”, she explains, "I know you Seto! I know your strategies and your way of dueling. I even know by and large the cards in your deck.
"I knew very well that sooner or later you would play this combination of cards. You can't surprise me that easily, I just know you too well! My deck is exactly matched to yours. You will find yourself in front of my 'weak' monsters You have to be careful! ”With a fixed look she holds Kaiba prisoner. She still looks very determined.
"Are you done then?", Says Kaiba disdainfully, "Then it's my turn.“He draws a card and smiles confidently.” You will soon find out that you were completely wrong with your assumption. Your deck can never take on mine and I'll prove it to you now! “He's choosing a card.” This time, I'm going to use my Deckmaster's special ability to summon a monster you're sure to know! Namely mywhite dragon with an ice-cold look! "
“Just a moment!”, Yuki interrupts, “To call this monster, you first have to sacrifice two monsters.” Kaiba glares at her angrily: “Do you think I don't know? am able to handle my own cards appropriately. The special ability of my emperor seahorse allows me to call a monster for which I would need two sacrifices with only one. "
"Oh yes?", Says Yuki unimpressed, "Maybe you will count again, Seto, because you have no monsters on the field that you could sacrifice." "Who says that I want to sacrifice my own monsters?", Says Kaiba cynical, "Because I'm afteryourmonster. I'm playing the magic card: Soul swap!" Yuki's mouth drifts into a thin line. Kaiba slips the card into the slot on his dueling disc. "Well then, I choose your face down monster as a sacrifice to sacrifice for my white dragon!"
A glowing fog envelops the face-down monster card and in the next moment a small, red fox appears on the field. But suddenly the gleeful mine disappears from Kaiba's face, because now he has to see how the fog suddenly clears again and the magic card on his side breaks into a thousand pieces. "What does that mean?" He exclaims in disbelief.
On the other side of the field, Yuki has crossed her arms. "Didn't I tell you that I knew you and your strategies, Seto? I was beginning to think that you would try to summon this card and also that you would probably target my monsters for it. That's why I have my Foxfire monster card (300/200) put into play. This monster cannot be sacrificed for a Tribute Summon. I'm afraid you wasted your Spell Card in vain. "
Kaiba clenches her fist angrily. In fact, she seems to have prepared herself well. Obviously it won't be as easy as he thought it would be. But none of that will do her any good! She definitely won't win. There is no way he will allow that! No, she will regret messing with him and he has exactly the card he needs for it.
"I now conjure
