Hrzic III http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Alley/2247/Yugioh.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------- Battle 143: Battle of 0 Attack Strength!! Yugi's group enters the Black Clown to find the two knocked-out security guards. Yugi's summoned monster is "Puzz" (0/700). Otogi rolls and attacks Yugi's DM, but Yugi uses Puzz's effect and it becomes a shield (Defense 2100) to block the attack. Yugi rolls, and turns Puzz into a sword (Attack 2500) and attacks. His DM destroys the Ogre. Otogi sees no way to win. Battle 144: Resistance Bakura takes the Millennium Puzzle and gives it to Yugi. Bakura changes back to normal, oblivious as to where he is. Otogi's father grabs the puzzle, puts it around Yugi's neck, and drags him by it through a secret door to another room. He throws Yugi to the ground, and pegs the chain of the Puzzle to a stand, while he tries to put it together. As he does, he hallucinates himself being caught in a maze of puzzle pieces, and panics, knocking over a candle and setting a cloth on fire. Jounouchi and company arrive in the game room, and try to open the secret door. Yugi tries to take the puzzle with him, but it is pegged to the stand. Battle 145: Chained Puzzle Yugi and Otogi's father are caught in the fire and Jounouchi and Honda try to force the door down. They finally do, and they are about to leave when they see that the puzzle is attached to the stand. They tell Yugi to leave, but he won't leave without the puzzle and his other self. Jounouchi tells the rest of the group to get out of the Black Clown, and he will stay and protect Yugi. Yugi puts the pieces together, and completes it, but falls unconscious. Jounouchi tries to get him to left go, but can't. He tries to force the puzzle off the stand, but the Other Yugi communicates with him. Using the board for a game in the room, he forces the peg off and frees the puzzle. The Black Clown is about to collapse when Jounouchi exits the building, holding Yugi. NOTE: This ends the D-D-D story arc. Battle 146: Stones of Old Jounouchi and Yugi are playing Magic and Wizards in the hospital when an old man in the room notices the eye-symbol on Yugi's puzzle. He shows Yugi a newspaper that has a lady who has an item that bears a similar mark. That night at the Domino Museum, Seto arrives to meet a woman. Her name is Isis Ishtal. She reveals to Seto the origins of Magic and Wizards in Egypt, and how Pegasus adapted it. She shows Seto an ancient tablet depicting several cards. Battle 147: The Lost Cards At that time, the games was used to decide the sixteenth Pharaoh of Egypt. However, the picture of Pharaoh that was decided was gouged out of the tablet. Seto sees a picture of Yugi on the tablet, and is enraged beyond belief. Isis tells him to look closer, and Seto sees an image of himself as well on the tablet, opposite Yugi. She tells him about three legendary rare cards, which are at the top of the tablet, surrounding the Millennium Puzzle. Seto has heard of that cards, that can physically affect its opponent. Pegasus searched for those cards, without luck. Two of the cards were stolen by a group called the "Ghouls", the near-legendary group of Rare Hunters, who hunt for rare cards. Isis asks Seto to retrieve all three of the cards, and return them to her. Toi help, she gives him one of the cards, "The God of Obelisk". She says that she believes in him. He leaves, and as the card drives away, he laughs. Yugi and his other self have a talk at the top of the hospital, about the time in which the puzzle's true nature will be revealed, and all of the answers will be known. Battle 148: The God Card At the Kaiba Corporation Research and Development Center, Seto is testing the new Duel Disk system against a computer. The Computer starts with "Blue Eyes White Dragon" (8/3000/2500). Seto then places a card, then places "Dark Sleeper Lucifer" (4/1500/1800) in Defense mode, putting the Dragon to sleep. The Computer then plays "Lord of Dragons" (4/1200/1100), negating the effect of Lucifer. Seto plays "Iron Golem" (5/1900/2200) in Defense mode. The Computer draws and plays "Dragon Calling Horn", playing all Dragons from its hand. The Computer now has all three Blue Eyes out. They attack, but Seto activates his "Attack Cancel" Trap, preventing the attacks. Seto draws and plays "God of Obelisk" (10/4000/4000). He sacrifices Lucifer and the Golem to it. He attacks, destroys all three Blue Eyes, and physically destroys the Computer. Battle 149: Your Own Place Yugi is getting on some accessories, his other self congratulating him on getting a date with Anzu. The date actually isn't for the normal Yugi, but the Other Yugi. Anzu is waiting for Yugi at the train station, and Yugi appears. Yugi is not impressed with the normal Yugi's setup. At first Anzu plans to go somewhere, but they simply go to walk around instead. They stop in a game shop, and in Yugi's pack of cards, he gets "Hand Sealing Sword of Light". They then stop in an arcade when Anzu soundly beats a guy at a dancing game. They stop at the museum, and Yugi sees the tablet. Battle 150: Collecting People Anzu and Yugi see the tablet, and Isis welcomes them. She explains the tablet, and that a new battle to determine the king is starting. They leave the museum to find Mai and several other Duelists around. Seto arrives and makes an announcement about a new tournament. That will be held in the city. Battle 151: Rare Hunter!! Malik is contemplating Seto's announcement in his headquarters. At school, Yugi tells Jounouchi about the tournament, and the ante rule that they will be using. After school, they go to the game shop to get the Duel Disk. The worker checks the computer and finds that Yugi is at the highest duel skill, level 8, and gives him a Duel Disk. Jounouchi on the other hand, has a level of 2. However, the worker sees that he has a Red Eyes Black Dragon, and quickly changes his level to 5 to give him a Duel Disk. As they leave, the worker makes a phone call. Jounouchi leaves Yugi's house during the night, and is challenged by the Rare Hunter. He accepts. The Rare Hunter stats with "Hannibal Necrosavant" (4/1400/1800) in Defense mode, and Jounouchi with the "Panther Warrior" (4/2000/1600). Jounuchi attacks and destroys the Necrosavant. Hunter plays a "Three Faced Gido" (4/1200/1400) in Defense mode, then plays "Angel's Gift", drawing three cards and discarding two. Jounouchi attacks and destroys the Gido. The Rare Hunter plays another Angel's Gift, then tells Jounouchi that he has won. He shows Jounouchi the five parts of Exodia held in his hand. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fin.
