Yugioh: Season 1

Face Off Part II

"This is way too intense." said Tristan.

"Remember, Tristan, Yugi beat Kaiba once before." said Bakura.

"Yeah, back when he had Exodia." said Paige. "He doesn't even have that in his deck anymore, no thanks to Weevil."

"I'd like to beat Kaiba, all right." said Joey.

"Whats with Kaiba, anyway?" asked Tea. "He claims that he's changed, but he's acting like the same old creep we used to know and loathe. I don't get it."

In a tower above them, Bandit Keith watches the duel between Kaiba and Yugi. "Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Hmm." he said, pushing his sunglasses up against his face. "Man, look at these 2 jokers. They're really going at it. Which is fine with me. I got the best seat in the house for scooping out the competition."

"Kaiba's trying to finish me off as quickly as possible..." thought Yugi. "But that's not like him. He enjoys toying with his opponents almost as much as he enjoys winning. Last time we dueled, he spent half the match messing with me. But this time....he's all business."

"Something feels off about this duel." Paige said to herself. "Why isn't Kaiba trying to get into my brother's head? Is it because Pegasus has Mokuba? What's he trying to prove to my brother?"

"Whats the matter, Yugi? You look a bit worried." taunted Kaiba. "Finally realizing that, without your precious Exodia cards, you don't stand a chance against me?"

"I won't need Exodia to defeat you, Kaiba." said Yami.

"Hmm." said Kaiba, wheeling back his dual disk. "If I keep drawing cards like this, you will. I arm my Genie with the De-Spell card. The De-Spell card can deactivate any magic card and that's a loss I'm quite sure you can't afford, Yugi."

"Heh heh heh." laughed La Jinn.

"La Jinn, my Mystical Genie of the lamp, activate De-Spell." said Kaiba. La Jinn forms an electrical energy ball in his hands.

"Oh no." said Yami. "My cards."

La Jinn aims for one of Yami's cards, revealing a magic card. "De-Spell has destroyed your Swords of Revealing Light." said Kaiba. "Hmm, that's a tough loss, Yugi. Your Swords could've paralyzed my monsters for three turns, but I guess now you'll just lose three turns sooner."

"Ha! Don't count on it, Kaiba." said Yami.

"That Genie's big trouble, but as long as he has that lamp to hide in, Yugi can't touch him." said Bakura.

"Is there any way to destroy the lamp?" asked Tea.

"There might be, if Yugi plays the right card." said Paige.

"This card might do the trick...." thought Yugi, as Yami held the Mystic box card in his hand. "the Mystic Box. It could be just the magic card I need to evict La Jinn from his Ancient Lamp. But first....I call upon the Dark Magician!"

"I'm surprised you'd put your Dark Magician at risk, Yugi, when you have no idea what I have in store for you." said Kaiba.

"Then perhaps before I attack, I should see what you're planning for myself." Yami said, then turns a card around.

"What?" asked Kaiba.

"Behold my Magic Eye of Truth!" said Yami.

"So called because the Eye of Truth, knows all, sees all, and it will reveal every card in your hand." said Yami.

"I wonder if Yugi would trade that card with me." said Paige as the Magic Eye of Truth revealed every card in Kaiba's hand.

"Whats this?" asked Yami as a Blue Eyes White Dragon revealed itself in Kaiba's hand. "You've got a Blue Eyes White Dragon in your hand but you havent played it?"
