My Darling My Love My Life

Having Nothing

Atem says "why don't I let my actions speak for me? reveal face down card! my Double Spell magic card!"  Seto replies with a surprised tone "oh no! not Double Spell!"  Atem replies "that's right! this card duplicates the effects of every magic card you used on your last turn Kaiba! that includes monster reborn and polymerization! so first I'll bring Buster Blader back from the graveyard! now I'll use polymerization! fusing my Dark Magician with my Buster Blader!!!"  Qetesh whispers teasingly wiggling her fingers in a playful wave "bye bye brother!"  she could have sworn she saw him stick his tongue out at her as he was fused with his comrade in arms and she chuckles as Seto says "fuse whatever you want my ultimate dragon is still stronger! your magic card didn't help you at all!"  Atem replies "you're wrong Kaiba! for my new fusion monster carries with it every one of Buster Blader's special abilities! that means his attack strength increases by 500 points for every dragon on the field! that includes your Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon as well as my Red Eyes Black Dragon! now behold the power of Dark Paladin the Ultimate Magical Swordsman!"  Seto lets out a short chuckle then says "good move Yugi but not good enough sorry look closer!"  Atem asks "what's your point Kaiba?"  Seto replies "your monster may be powerful but it's still 600 attack points weaker than mine!"   Atem says "we shall see! my move! I'll place one card face down and end my turn!"  Seto replies as he draws his next card "this is where it all ends Yugi!"  he looks at the card he drew and starts laughing then says "now then it's time to put an end to my past for good! as soon as I win this I can finally move on!"  Seto tells Atem "how foolish! it's our past that makes us who we are today!"  Atem replies "whatever"  Seto mutters "you must remember what happened before so you can learn from your past you can't ignore where you came from don't you know it's our history that shapes our future Kaiba!"  Atem says "save it Yugi! it's time to move on not look back! the past is over! and nothing you say will change my mind Yugi! I need to take you down now! only then will I attain true greatness!"  Seto replies "your duel tower stands here surrounded by rubble and destruction and to me it represents your heart a strong object surrounded by anger and hatred and as long as you're fueled you can never defeat me Kaiba!"  Atem says "don't you realize my inner rage pushes me forward?! and that's what I'll use to crush you!"  Seto replies "and here I thought it was your love for Qetesh and Mokuba that pushed you forward! but if that's the case then go ahead and direct all of your hatred towards me and strike me down with your rage!"  Atem says Seto growls then says angrily "don't you question how I feel about Qetesh or my brother!! for I assure you you shall live to regret those words if you do Yugi! Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon prepare for attack! now my dragon attack!!!"  Atem replies "now I activate the face down card Magic Formula!"  Seto says "how pathetic! I activate Absorb Spell! this magic card will absorb the power of magic formula! therefore the attack points you just added to your Dark Paladin will be transferred to my Ultimate Dragon!"  he starts laughing then says "now you're history! along with your Red Eyes! and Dark Paladin the Ultimate Magical Swordsman! farewell!"  just then Joey and the gang enter the arena but their words go unheard by the force of the attack that has been stopped "I win!"  Seto says "I wouldn't be so sure of that! remember I still have one face down card left! Kaiba you're done!"  Atem replies "you lie!"  Seto says "as you will soon see I've been destined to defeat you for 5,000 years!"  Atem replies "enough! my Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon cannot be stopped Yugi!!"  Seto says "I'm afraid you're wrong but I'll let my card speak for itself! so I play this! my De-fusion card! this magic card splits up your Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon into the three original dragons you fused to form it thus stopping your attack! now Kaiba you have three dragons on the field instead of one! and since my Dark Paladin receives 500 attack points for every dragon on the field he's now the strongest monster in play! now it's time for my final move!"  Atem replies "just go!"  Seto says "with pleasure Kaiba! all right the card in my hand will conquer the darkness that now surrounds your heart! so I play my final magic card! Diffusion Wave-Motion! you're finished! all I have to do is give up 1,000 life points and this magic card will enhance the attacking capabilities of my Dark Paladin! now my monster can attack all three of your Blue Eyes White Dragons at once! this duel is over!"  Atem replies as he loses life points and his monster gets ready to attack Seto shouts "Yugi I will not be defeated at my own tournament!"  Atem replies "Kaiba you are too late Dark Paladin attack! you lose Kaiba!"  Qetesh hugs Mokuba close to her as he feels the effects of Seto's defeat "he's still the greatest duelist we know!.... everyone loses once in a while.... but he'll always be a winner to us and that is what truly counts!.... even if he can't see it yet"  she whispers softly into his ear as she combs her fingers through his hair and he hugs her even tighter "I told you hatred never triumphs!.... look at them Kaiba!.... they are the ones who truly matter and until you see that.... you may never get her back!.... and for that I truly pity you for you know as well as I do what their love does to a person even ones like us!"  Atem tells Seto as he takes Isra's hand in his Seto looks over at Mokuba who was being hugged by the spiritual form of Qetesh and whispers in surprise "Qetesh!?!.... Mokuba!!"  Roland calls out "and the winner is Yugi Moto who now advances to the final round and faces Marik Ishtar for the Battle City Crown!"....
