The winds picks up as Yugi draws his first card.
Yugi: My turn! I draw! I activate Double Summon-
Kid: I activate the effect of Dark Tuner - Dishonest Knight! When my opponent activates a spell card, I can dispatch my Knight to the graveyard!
A look of confusion covers Yugi's and almost everybody else's face.
Yugi: That's a strange effect.(I wonder what it'll do...) I summon two Magician's Valkyrias in attack mode! I set twocards and end my turn!
The Kid starts laughing.
Kid: This'll hurt you Yugi Kiyu! Since I have a monster with "Dark Tuner" in its name in the graveyard, I can pay 1000 life points[7000] to special summon Darkness' Assistant[Type: Fiend - Effect/LV: 2/ATK: 0/DEF: 1300] in defense mode. I know activate Darkness' Assistant's effect, by paying another 1000 life points[6000], I can special summon a monster with "Dark Tuner" in its name from the graveyard! Come forth, Dark Tuner - Dishonest Knight![Type: Warrior - Dark Tuner/LV: 10/ATK: 0/DEF: 0] Now, powers of darkness! Pull back the curtain to reveal the world for what is! Dark synchro summon,Guard of Hell, Abidon![Type: Demon - Effect/LV: -8/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2500] Now the fun begins!
A purple insignia appears on the Kid's right forearm. It appears to be a bird, but can't make it out.
Yugi: What's the dea-
Yugi jumps out the way of what appears to be purple fire come from the ground.
Kid: Don't worry, soon this will be all over!
Yugi smirks.
Abbie: (What is Yugi playing at....? Wait, why do I even care?!)
Yugi: It seems you've forgotten a basic principle of dueling.
Kid: Oh? And what, pray tell would that be?
Yugi: Trap cards! Go! Bottomless Tra-
Kid: Not so fast! If my Guard is targeted by any effect that would destroy it, I can send a card from my hand that is the same type, spell, trap or monster, as the card trying to destroy my Guard, negate its effect, destroy it and inflict 1000 points of damage to my opponent!
Purple fireballs appear around Yugi and slam into him, inflicting the 1000 points of damage. Yugi falls to his feet.
Yugi: Argh!
Kimi/Davis: Yugi?!
Abbie: (That kid isn't using any psychic abilities, yet he inflicted real damage against Yugi...Amazing.)
Yugi gets back up.
Kid: I would have stayed down if I was you, 'cause now I'm gonna attack!
Yugi: You can't. My..Valkyrias' effect stop you selecting either one as your attack target. You may have a fancy new form of synchro summon, but it will take more than cheap tricks like that to beat me!
Kid: I'll hand it two, it will take more than "cheap tricks" to beat you, but you're wrong about my attack! I activate Abidon's other effect! Once per turn, I can negate the effect of a face up monster my opponent controls until the end of the turn,at the cost of 500 life points.
A purple fireball appears in front of the Kid and rams into him, not causing him to flinch even a tiny bit.
Kid: [5500] Now, time for you to feel pain, Yugi Kiyu! Abidon, attack!
Abidon draws a large sword, the blade engulfed in purple flame. Abidon then swings its sword at the effect negated Valkyria, but the blade is stopped by a black wooden box.
Kid: What is the meaning of this?!
Yugi: Oh, come now, surely you know? I use spellcasters, magicains if you will and what do magicains do? They perform the impossible!
A trap card is active on Yugi's side of the field, The Magicain's Trick.
Yugi: By sending 1 "Dark Magicain" from my deck or my hand to the grave and that I discard one card from my hand, a spellcaster on my side gets to perform a trick. They give as many options as there is empty places in the monster card zone-
Two more identical boxes to the one that appeared when Abidon attacked appear next to the first oneand begin to shuffle around at an incredible pace. They then come to an aburt stop.
Yugi: To save yourself. You will now attack one of the boxes. If the box you attack is destroyed, every card on your side of the field is destroyed and you will bedealt damage equal to the attack of the original attack target, but if you destroy something within the box, the box itself not being destroyed, then every card on my side of the field is destroyed and I'm dealt damage equal to your monster's attack. Now, choose.
The Kid looks at every box, with a hue of sweat on his brow.
Kid: Abidon, attack the left box!
Abidon stabs its sword right through the box.
Kid: Looks like all your cards are gonners!
Yugi: I wouldn't speak to soon. Look.
The Kid looks on in horror, as the crowd look on with joy. As Abidon pulls its sword out of the box, the box spliters and crack and eventually, smashes apart. Abidon blows up and Magicain's Valkyria comes through the explosion, dealing the Kid 1600 points of damge.
Kid: Arrrrgh!![3900]
Yugi: This is what you get for playing with fire, beause the trick isn't over, not by a long shot! See, when my trap resolves, I can special summon 1 "Dark Magicain Girl" from my deck.
Kid: What?!
Yugi: Hey, when the magician's away, his assistant will play! I special summon Dark Magician Girl[2000/1700] and since there is a Dark Magician in my grave, she gains 300 extra ATK![2300/1700]
Kid: (This..this child could prove troublesome in the future.) I set one card face down and end my turn.
Yugi draws his card.
Abbie: (I can't believe that Yugi has beaten that thing...maybe he isn't totally incompatent...? What am I saying?! He's completely incompatent!)
Yugi: I activate MST to destroy your face down!
The wind blows and destroy the set card, Dark Gathering.
Yugi: Girls. Fire. At. Will!
All the spellcasters attack the Kid and send him flying through air.
Abbie: Second time I've seen an idiot fly through the air today.
Yugi walks over to the Kid and helps him up. The purple flames and insignia gone.
Yugi: Are you OK, kid?
Kid: I hurt a little.
Yugi: OK, then lets get you home. Where do you live?
Kid: 42 Evergland Street.
Yugi: I'll take you home, but first, can I see your duel disk?
Kid: Sure, anything for you, sir.
The Kid gives Yugi his duel disk and Yugi starts searhing for the Dark Tuner and Dark Synchro monsters, but they seem to have disappeared. He hands the Kid his duel disk back.
Yugi: Now, lets get you home.
Yugi and the Kid start walking followed by Kimi, Davis and Abbie.
Yugi: (What actually happened here? I've got to find out.)
