The Jashinist Cult's Plot

"First turn's mine!" Haimā drew a card without even looking.

"I summon The White Stone of Ancients (Light/Level 1/ATK 300/DEF 250)! Then I activate the continuous spell Majesty with Eyes of Blue! As long as I control a Blue-Eyes monster, you can't special summon monsters outside the battle phase!"

"I set two cards and end my turn!"

"Heh. Not a bad opening. But darkness will swallow everything in the end!" Bakura grinned wickedly. "I activate the continuous spell Dark Door! Each player can attack with only one monster per turn."

"Next, I summon Spirit Reaper (Dark/Level 3/ATK 300/DEF 200)! Then I activate the equip spell Makiu, the Magical Mist! I equip it to Spirit Reaper, raising its attack by 600!"

"Battle!" Bakura swept out a hand. "Spirit Reaper, attack The White Stone of Ancients!"

Spirit Reaper swung a scythe formed from mist and easily destroyed The White Stone of Ancients.

"Since The White Stone of Ancients was destroyed in battle, I activate its effect!" Haimā shouted. "I special summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck! Descend, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Amid brilliant white light, the legendary dragon descended in all its majesty (Light/Level 8/ATK 3000/DEF 2500)!

"So this is the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon, said to rival the gods?" Bakura marveled. "If I can finish you here, Lord Jashin's return will probably go all the more smoothly."

Vmmm!

At the height of their tense duel, a dazzling pillar of golden light, brimming with warmth, erupted without warning from the distant horizon and shot into the sky!

Even across that vast distance and through the thick black mist, it pierced the darkness like the rising sun. In an instant, it drove back some of the suffocating cold and even made the domain of the Evil God around Bakura's field waver.

"What?!"
