Marik VS Ishizu

"Duel!" x2

[Ishizu, LP 4000]

[Marik, LP 4000]

"Sister, do we really need to fight?" Marik asked.

Ishizu's body became rigid for a moment, then she raised her head and said: "I do not want to fight you either, but you and your evil ambitions must be stopped."

The eye on her Millennium Necklace shone, and a **** field expanded from it, trapping both of them inside. Ishizu raised her arm with the Duel Disk: "Using Shadow Game to rob a person's free will is taboo, but this is the only way I can save you. Forgive me, brother.

My turn, draw! First, I activate the Spell Card 'Graceful Charity'. Draw 3 cards, then discard 2 cards."

Ishizu discarded two cards, then she placed a card on the Duel Disk: "I Set a monster on the field.

Among the two cards I discarded with 'Graceful Charity', there is 'Makyura the Destructor'! During the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate Trap Cards from my hand.

With this effect, I activate the Trap Card 'Needlebug Nest' from my hand! Send the top 5 cards of my Deck to the GY."

She took five cards from her Deck, then revealed one of them: "The effect of 'Agido the Ancient Sentinel' is activated!

If this card is sent from the hand or Deck to the GY: Each player sends the top 5 cards of their Deck to the GY. And the other card I discarded with 'Graceful Charity' is 'Exchange of the Spirit'. While that card is in my GY, I can send 5 more cards from the top of my Deck to the GY!

Ishizu took ten cards from her Deck and put them in her GY zone, then she said: "I activate the Spell Card 'The Chorus in the Sky'. Pay 1000 LP, then target 1 Fairy monster in my GY; add it to my hand."

[Ishizu, LP 4000 → LP 3000]

"I add 'Agido the Ancient Sentinel' back to my hand! Then I discard it to Special Summon 'Keldo the Sacred Protector' from my hand!"

[Keldo the Sacred Protector, ATK 1200]

Marik understood: "When 'Agido the Ancient Sentinel' enters the GY again..."

"You have to send the top 5 cards of your Deck to the GY, and I have to send 10 cards. Moreover, when 'Keldo the Sacred Protector' is Special Summoned by this effect, I can add 1 'Exchange of the Spirit' or 1 card that mentions it from my Deck to my hand."

A card popped up from Ishizu's deck.

"I add 'Mudora the Sword Oracle' to my hand! Then I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Celestial Transformation'. Special Summon 1 Fairy monster from my hand, but that monster's ATK will be halved, also it will be destroyed during the End Phase. Come here, Mudora!"

[Mudora the Sword Oracle, ATK 1500 → ATK 750]

"Now I activate the effect of 'Keldo the Sacred Protector' and 'Mudora the Sword Oracle'. Both cards have the same effect: If there is an 'Exchange of the Spirit' in my GY, I can banish them from my field, then target up to 5 cards in any GY; and return them into the Deck.

I return all ten cards in your GY into the Deck!"

Marik expressionlessly took the cards from his GY and shuffled them back into his Deck.

Ishizu inhaled a deep breath. All the preparations were completed.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Book of Taiyou'! Target 1 face-down monster on the field; change that target to face-up Attack Position.

Then I chain with 'Trap of Darkness' activated from my hand! If my LP is 3000 or less: Pay 1000 LP, then target 1 Normal Trap in my GY; this card's effect becomes that target's activated effect, then banish that target!"

[Ishizu, LP 3000 → LP 2000]

"The card I want to copy effect is, of course, 'Exchange of the Spirit'! If I have 15 or more cards in my GY: Each player swaps the cards in their GY with the cards in their Deck!"

Tristan: "Marik's graveyard is empty..."

Joey: "Which means in his next turn, he will have no card to draw and lose due to the Deck Out rule!"

Yugi: "No, not only that..."

Ishizu: "The monster I set is 'Morphing Jar'. When it is flipped, both players discard as many cards as possible from their hands, then each player draws 5 cards."

Joey: "What? Why did she let Marik draw more cards?"

Yugi: "No, the effect of 'Exchange of the Spirit' resolves first, so when Marik has to draw by 'Morphing Jar', his Deck will have zero cards and he will lose. In other words, he doesn't even have his turn. She has performed a First Turn Kill!"

Facing such a combo, Marik didn't show any sign of fear. Instead, he clapped his hands: "Wonderful! A sure-kill combo that doesn't even allow the opponent to play a card. Sister, you have become much stronger since we parted ways. However, did you forget something?"

Ishizu: "What?"

"'Makyura the Destructor' is my card. Among the cards you sent from my Deck to the GY just now, there is also a Makyura. Therefore, during this turn, I can activate Trap Cards from my hand too."

Marik slowly pulled out a card from his hand: "I activate the Trap Card 'Cemetary Bomb'! Inflict 100 damage to the opponent for each card in their Graveyard!

You have sent 2 cards to your GY with 'Graceful Charity', 5 cards with 'Needlebug Nest', and 20 cards with 'Agido the Ancient Sentinel'. Plus 'Graceful Charity', 'Needlebug Nest', 'The Chorus in the Sky', and 'Celestial Transformation', you have a total of 31 cards in your GY now. So you must take 3100 damage!"

A black hole appeared on the field. Cards were drawn out from Ishizu's GY, sucked into the black hole. Then, after absorbing enough, the hole changed into a white color and exploded, creating an eruption! The jet of light enveloped Ishizu's body.

"It cannot be... The future I saw has changed..."

[Ishizu, LP 2000 → LP 0]
