Hrzic III http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Alley/2247/Yugioh.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------- Battle 188: Powerful Combination!! Seto contemplates the meaning of Yugi's words, "Power of Unity", while Light and Dark mask squabble amongst themselves for Dark calling Light a "shrimp". Dark places a card, then ends his turn. Seto's turn is next, and attacks Dark mask because he doesn't have any monsters. Dark activates an "Iron Mask" Magic card, shielding him from the attack. Light Mask draws a card, then plays it: "Choosing Machine". Three cards are placed on the field from his hand, and one is chosen at random. The machine chooses "Masked Beast Death Gardius" (8/3300/2500; Leaves behind a mask when destroyed). Light is ready to destroy Yugi's Magnet Warrior Alpha, thus killing Yugi in the process. Seto goads Light into attacking Blue Eyes. He does so (K's LP: 1800). Seto asks Blue Eyes to forgive him, then he and Yugi reveal their trap. Yugi plays "Magnet Warrior Gamma" (4/1500/1800), then combines Alpha, Beta and Gamma into "Magnet Valkyrion" (Attack 3500). Battle 189: Ultimate Summon! Seto, anxious to avenge the death of Blue Eyes, orders Yugi to attack. Yugi places a card, the tells Seto to look at the entire situation, and that rage will not be the answer. He looks at his cards, and sees that he has "Obelisk", but cannot summon it because of the "Sacrifice-Sealing Mask". He then notices the "Cross Soul" Magic card that he has. He understands why Yugi had summoned the Valkyrion in the first place. He then, calmly, asks Yugi to attack. Yugi does so, destroying the Gardius (L's LP: 3800), but in the process, it leaves behind a mask. It leaves behind "Mask of Control", allowing Dark Mask to gain control of the Valkyrion. Dark's turn comes up, and attacks. Yugi activates "Fusion Cancel", turning the Valkyrion back into Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Seto's turn arrives, and with the "Cross Soul" Magic card, sacrifices Alpha, Beta and Gamma to summon Obelisk. And with one Rock Fist Crusher, annihilate's Dark's LP. Battle 190: The Promised Place! With Dark's LP gone, the mine explodes, sending him down into the building. However, he pulls the chain on his neck, which opens a parachute. Malik possesses Light Mask and applauds them for their work, but tells Yugi that he has taken control of Jounouchi. He then leaves, Light Mask collapsing in the process. With the final puzzle card from Light Mask, Seto activates the mask reader on the Duel Disk, showing them that the final area is at Domino Harbor. Mokuba arrives in a helicopter, and they take off. Battle 191: The Fated Place Malik and company wait at Domino Harbor. Malik's henchman, Rishiid, give Malik the puzzle and ante cards from Jounouchi. Malik's other henchman exchange several of the cards in Jounouchi's deck for powerful direct-damage cards. Anzu gets a phone call and answers, but hangs up as she is under Malik's control. As Yugi steps out of the helicopter, he can see Jounouchi waiting for him. He realizes that he is under Malik's control. Meanwhile, Honda, Otogi and Shizuka are in the train going back to Domino. Honda complains that Anzu didn't say anything to him on the phone, but as he eats lunch, he remembers that the sounds that he heard were from Domino Harbor. Jounouchi tells Yugi that they are going to have a Duel. Battle 192: Wishful Confrontation! Yugi doesn't want to duel Jounouchi, but Malik offers him a choice. The controlled Anzu has put a capsule between her lips. If Yugi refuses to duel, then she swallows it and dies. Anzu handcuffs them to a chain attached to a anchor on a scaffold. The match is called an "Anchor Death Match". If a player's LP are reduced to 0, he will be pulled under by the anchor. The same will happen to both players if the time of fifteen minutes runs out. Seto is about to stop the entire match, when Mokuba is taken and held at knife-point by two of Malik's henchmen. Yugi takes his deck out, and places the Red Eyes Black Dragon into his deck. As per Malik's demand, he doesn't place Osiris in his deck, but places it in his belt holder and tosses it on the ground. Yugi summons a "Baffomet" (4/1400/1800) in Defense mode. Jounouchi places "Lightning Boltecs", destroying all of Yugi's monsters. He then summons a "Wyvern Warrior" (Attack 1500) and attacks Yugi directly (Y's LP: 2500). Yugi plays a "Big Shield Guarder" (4/100/2600) in Defense mode, and ends his turn. Jounouchi plays "Fireball" doing 600 damage to Yugi (Y's LP: 1900). Battle 193: Attack the Heart! Yugi places a card, then summons a Kuribo in Defense mode. Jounouchi attacks, but Yugi activates a "Hexagram Curse", stopping the attack. Jounouchi then plays another Fireball (Y's LP: 1300). The normal Yugi then begs to fight Jounouchi instead. The Yugi's switch places, and despite Malik's insistence that the other Yugi come out, Yugi draws the "Red Eyes Black Dragon". Battle 194: The Card Of Pride Jounouchi tells Yugi to quit dawdling, and play a card. He plays "Exchange", with both plays looking at each other's hands and choosing a card. Jounouchi is about to take Red Eyes, when some control comes back, and he grabs a "Hand Obliteration" instead. The only way that Yugi will be able to get through to Jounouchi is to summon Red Eyes, which he does by sacrificing his Kuribo and Guarder. He then attacks, destroying the Wyvern (J's LP: 3100). Yugi then takes off the Millennium Puzzle. Battle 195: Another Decision The other Yugi tells him to reconsider, but Yugi tells him that it is a battle to bring back Jounouchi, and he has to do it by himself. Jounouchi then plays another Fireball (Y's LP: 700). Honda, Otogi and Shizuka arrive at Domino Station, and while they decide how to get to the Harbor, they meet Mai, who has just won a battle, and has enough puzzle cards. Everyone gets in her car. Jounouchi summons a "Rocket Soldier" (4/1500/1300). It transforms into a rocket, and attacks Red Eyes, dropping its Attack to 900). Jounouchi doubles over from the pain in his head, and that's when Yugi puts the Millennium Puzzle around Jounouchi's neck. He tells Jounouchi that, if he dies, Jounouchi will have to wear the puzzle instead of him. Battle 196: The Memories of One Malik tells Jounouchi to take apart the puzzle. He takes the piece out with the eye and is about to throw it into the ocean when he remembers the same situation when they met. He then puts the piece back in, and puts the puzzle back around his neck. Yugi places two cards, then summons a "Magnet Warrior Beta" in attack mode, then ends his turn. Jounouchi summons a "Panther Warrior", and in the battle phase, the Rocket Soldier turns into a rocket. The Panther Warrior attacks, but not the target is not the Red Eyes that Malik wanted. Instead, he attacks Beta. Yugi activates a "Magic Arm Shield", grabbing the rocket soldier. It then blasts the Panther Warrior, reducing its attack to 500. Yugi sacrifices Beta and summons "Dark Magic Girufar Demon" (6/2200/2500). He attacks and destroys the Rocket Soldier (J's LP: 2400). ----------------------------------------------------------------- Owari.
