[Katsuya Jonouchi's hand: 1 → 0]
The black dragon opened its jaws and fired a Black Flame Bullet at President Kaiba.
Bang—!!
[Seto Kaiba: LP 4000 → 1600]
Jonouchi immediately launched an attack. "Go! Have Blue-Eyes White Dragon attack Giant Virus! Burst Stream of Destruction!"
President Kaiba's face turned green. He was practically exploding with rage. "Damn it! This worthless loser!"
His rage had hit the limit, and he immediately pressed a button. "Prepare yourself, loser! I activate my face-down card..."
"This is bad!!"
Watching the face-down card flip over, Jonouchi felt like he was finished.
The Card Prepared for Yugi
"Trap Card, Destruction Ring! I destroy Giant Virus, and both players take damage equal to that monster's ATK!"
A swim ring embedded with eight grenades appeared and slipped around Giant Virus.
"Take this, you loser!"
The moment Seto Kaiba finished speaking, Destruction Ring exploded, and Giant Virus instantly vanished from the field.
[Seto Kaiba: LP 1600 → 600] [Katsuya Jonouchi: LP 1700 → 700]
Jonouchi had a bad feeling. "Damn it!!"
President Kaiba had destroyed Giant Virus himself, so Jonouchi could no longer wipe out his Life Points.
And he did not know whether he should trade White Bride for the opponent's monster. He had no cards left in his hand, so it did not seem worth it.
But President Kaiba had no intention of giving him time to think and forcibly ended Jonouchi's turn.
"My turn, draw!"
[Seto Kaiba's hand: 2 → 3]
Seeing this, Yugi looked a little awkward. "Kaiba is really angry right now..."
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon is his soul. It is only natural for him to get angry."
The King also felt that Jonouchi was beyond saving.
Although Jonouchi had played fairly well in this duel, he still could not compare to a whale like President Kaiba.
"Watch closely, you mediocrity! To crush you, I will use the card I prepared for my battle against Yugi!"
As he spoke, President Kaiba pinched two cards between his fingers.
"By revealing the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in my hand, I call forth this card!"
President Kaiba showed Jonouchi his last Blue-Eyes White Dragon, then slapped the other card onto his Duel Disk.
"Appear! Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!"
As light flashed, a white dragon covered in glowing patterns was projected behind President Kaiba.
[Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon: ATK 3000] [Seto Kaiba's hand: 3 → 2]
Jonouchi was shocked. "No way! You summoned a high-level monster with 3000 ATK that easily..."
This was the romance of a whale—crushing opponents with nothing but raw stats.
President Kaiba then looked at White Bride behind Jonouchi and said, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon, if I have to let someone like Jonouchi control you, I would rather destroy you with my own hands!"
"I activate Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon's monster effect!"
Once per turn, this effect can be activated by targeting 1 monster your opponent controls. Destroy that monster. Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon cannot attack during the turn this effect is activated.
"What!? It even has such a powerful effect?"
Cold sweat poured down Jonouchi's forehead.
President Kaiba swept his hand forward. "For me, sleep once more, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
The little sister-in-law spat a beam of white light at White Bride.
Bang—!!
With an explosion, White Bride instantly vanished from Jonouchi's field.
President Kaiba continued, "It is not over yet! Although Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon cannot attack this turn after activating that effect, it also has the ability to be treated as Blue-Eyes White Dragon while on the field or in the Graveyard. Therefore..."
As he spoke, he flipped over his remaining two cards.
"I activate the Spell Card Fusion, fusing two Blue-Eyes White Dragons!"
[Seto Kaiba's hand: 2 → 0]
"You are not fusing three Blue-Eyes White Dragons!?"
In Jonouchi's understanding, the only monster fused using Blue-Eyes White Dragon was Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. But he could never have guessed how many alternate forms Blue-Eyes White Dragon had.
To sell cards, Konami had repeatedly printed alternate forms of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, bringing the number of Blue-Eyes monsters to as many as twenty.
The King asked in confusion, "What monster can be fused from two Blue-Eyes White Dragons? I have never heard of such a card..."
Yugi, on the other hand, knew. "If I am not mistaken, that card is probably Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon."
Very soon, White Bride in President Kaiba's hand fused with the little sister-in-law on the field.
"Appear! Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon!"
The instant President Kaiba's voice fell, a two-headed white dragon covered in glowing patterns was born.
[Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon: ATK 3000]
Looking at the monster President Kaiba had just summoned, the King found it strange. "Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon... 3000 ATK!? It was fused from two Blue-Eyes White Dragons, yet its ATK is only the same as Blue-Eyes White Dragon's. Is that not a little odd?"
Yugi nodded. "It is supposed to feel odd, because Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon is a monster with special effects."
"Special effects!?"
"Once I explain them, you will understand what kind of monster it is."
Yugi then listed all of its effects.
Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon's effects:
: This card cannot be destroyed by battle.
: This card can attack monsters up to twice during the same Battle Phase.
: At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked an opponent's monster and that monster was not destroyed, you can activate this effect. Banish that opponent's monster.
Hearing those effects, the King frowned. "It cannot be destroyed by battle and can make multiple attacks. Combined with its banishing effect that even works on God Cards, it truly is a powerful Fusion Monster."
He then turned to Yugi and muttered, "Unfortunately, none of those effects can deal with AIBO's Summoned God Exodia. It can only be destroyed through sheer ATK."
"Hahaha, hahahaha! How was that, loser!"
Hearing President Kaiba's wild laughter, Jonouchi felt immense pressure.
But he still stubbornly said, "Fusion Monsters cannot attack on the turn they are summoned. That is the rule you established in Duel City."
"Kaiba, you cannot reduce my Life Points to zero now. I still have a chan—"
Jonouchi was about to say that he still had a chance when President Kaiba cut him off with a sweep of his hand. "You, loser, have no chance of turning this around!"
President Kaiba immediately pressed a button and flipped over his final face-down card. "I activate my face-down card, Quick Attack! Fusion Monsters can attack during the turn they are summoned!"
Jonouchi's expression changed drastically. "It is over!"
With only Red-Eyes Black Dragon, he could no longer stop President Kaiba's assault.
"Go, Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon! Attack Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
Bang—!!
Twin Burst Dragon fired two beams of white light, blasting Red-Eyes Black Dragon to pieces.
"Hmph! Blue-Eyes White Dragon, launch a direct attack on Jonouchi!"
For once, President Kaiba did not call Jonouchi a loser.
"Burst Stream of Destruction—!!"
As if venting its anger, White Bride fired a blinding beam of white light at Jonouchi.
Bang—!!
"Urgh—!!"
That attack took away the last of Jonouchi's Life Points.
[Katsuya Jonouchi: LP 700 → 0]
Yugi VS Kaiba
After defeating Jonouchi, Seto Kaiba's anger finally subsided a little.
Afterward, he could not even be bothered to take Jonouchi's rare card. He hurried back to modify his deck and prepare for his upcoming duel against Yugi.
Half a day later, Yugi stepped onto the stage President Kaiba had prepared for him.
"You are here, Yugi."
President Kaiba had been waiting for a long time.
"Kaiba..."
Yugi stopped opposite President Kaiba.
"At last, the time has come for our true showdown. In the final battle of this Duel City, only you and I are qualified to claim the throne of King of Games!"
"Yugi, I will defeat you and claim the title of King of Games!"
President Kaiba could no longer wait to begin.
"..."
Yugi felt that President Kaiba's obsession with him ran far too deep.
Still, he chose to answer his opponent's expectations. "Sure. That is exactly what I intend to do. I will not give up the title of King of Games."
"Hmph!"
The corner of President Kaiba's mouth rose. He was incredibly excited now.
"Now beginning the Duel City finals: Seto Kaiba versus Yugi Muto. Prepare to duel!"
After Isono announced the final contestants, he quietly stepped aside so as not to disturb his president's enthusiasm for dueling.
[Yugi Muto: LP 4000] [Seto Kaiba: LP 4000]
Before the battle began, President Kaiba spoke. "For a battle that decides the strongest duelist, this Duel Arena is utterly lacking in atmosphere."
"Therefore, I have prepared a stage to symbolize our fated duel."
"Activate the hologram system!"
President Kaiba pressed a button on his Duel Disk, and the projection equipment surrounding the Duel Arena began to operate.
The environment around the two of them instantly changed.
