YUGIOH: It's Time to Duel!

Chapter 102: Fist meet Magic



Sorry for the delay, guys. I've been pretty busy. Next week might also be delayed, but I will try my best.

For the remainder, when both Seto are present. Seto Kaiba will continue being Kaiba, and Priest Seto will be Seto.

[Lork Aknadin Current Form]

[3rd POV]

"Is that really you...?" Yuna whispered, her voice trembling.

With a shaky hand, she reached out. "K... Kaiba..." she groaned, pulling herself from the rubble. As she stumbled forward, Seto rushed to catch her, his face tightening with concern. "Your face..." His eyes darkened as he noticed the blood smeared on her lips.

It was as though the floodgates of her emotions had finally burst. For five long years, Yuna

had devoted herself to caring for Kisara, burying thoughts of her home deep inside. But now, wrapped in Kaiba's arms, she broke down, tears streaming uncontrollably.

"Does it hurt?" Kaiba asked gently.

"Idiot... Stupid... Dumb..." she pouted and gripped his shirt, "Why are you so late..."

Kaiba smiled wryly and patted her head, "I'm sorry... But I'm here now."

From a distance, Aknadin watched the intimate moment with a scowl. His pride was wounded from being ignored, and he secretly cast a spell. But before it could take effect, Blue Eyes White Dragon lunged at him, and Aknadin barely dodged the attack.

Frowning, he turned to Kaiba, who was glaring at him with the corner of his eyes. His expression was eerily cold, and that same hostility was transmitted through Blue Eyes White Dragon's growl.

"Just sit still. I'll handle this," Kaiba commanded.

Yuna frowned, wiping the last of her tears. "I'm not going to just sit back. I've got a score to settle," she hissed. Knowing her stubbornness all too well, Kaiba gave a curt nod.

"Fine, but take a breather for now." He sighed, resigned, as Yuna reluctantly sat down. Reaching into his coat, Kaiba pulled out several clay tablets and handed them to her. "These belong to you, don't they?"

Yuna's eyes widened as she picked up one of the tablets, her surprise quickly turning into a bright smile. "Thank you..." She clutched them tightly to her chest, her heartbeat quickening with excitement.

Her fingers traced the familiar symbol of a dragon etched onto the tablet, and her grin deepened. With her eyes closed, she could feel the energy of the beings trapped inside, their presence pulsing through her. Determined, Yuna opened her eyes and, with a resolute nod, shattered the tablets against the floor.

*WOOOSH*

Suddenly, a radiant light poured from the cracks in the tablets, flowing into Yuna's body. Clenching and unclenching her fists, she felt whole, like a missing piece of her had finally returned.

"Yuna!!" Kisara appeared from the side, rushing to hug her tightly. "I really thought!"

"I'm alright," Yuna reassured her with a warm smile. "I just need a short break. But shouldn't you be focused on Seto?"

"I've tried..." Kisara bit her lip in frustration. "No matter what I do, nothing's working."

Yuna's gaze shifted to Priest Seto, who stood in the distance, motionless like a puppet. With Aknadin entirely occupied by Kaiba, his control over Priest Seto had weakened.

"Keep trying. I know you can do it, Kisara," Yuna said with confidence. "I'll make sure Aknadin doesn't interfere."

"Okay..." Kisara nodded, letting out a relieved sigh, but her curiosity got the best of her as she glanced at Kaiba. "By the way, who is he? He looks so much like..."

Yuna scratched her cheek, laughing awkwardly. "He's... um, my Seto," she said, smiling bashfully and avoiding eye contact.

"I see..." Kisara mumbled, her expression shifting to a pout. "So that's the guy you choose over me, huh?"

Yuna sighed. "Just go and save your Seto." As Kisara was about to leave, she called out, "Wait! Could I borrow some Ba, please?"

Kisara's frown melted into a smile. "Only if you promise to kick his a**."

Yuna grinned, nodding as they clasped hands. "Good luck, Kisara."

"You too." With that, they split off, each preparing to face their respective battles.

Meanwhile, Aknadin barely evaded Blue Eyes White Dragon's devastating beam, only to be pursued again as the dragon lunged forward. Soaring into the air, Aknadin conjured multiple black spheres and hurled them toward the dragon.

With a mighty sweep of its wings, Blue Eyes White Dragon deflected the spheres, which exploded harmlessly against its scales. In a flash, the dragon burst through the smoke, its jaws snapping at Aknadin, who narrowly dodged once more.

"All that talk, and all you can do is run away," Kaiba taunted, his voice laced with arrogance and Aknadin's face twisted with rage, a vein pulsing on his forehead.

Despite his calm exterior, Kaiba could feel his insides boiling with fury. When he arrived through the portal in the dead of night, he split off from Yugi and the others, who were searching for the Pharaoh.

Sensing something, Kaiba slowly made his way towards the palace in the city, and inside, he was relieved and horrified by what he had seen. Spotting Yuna about to die, his body spun into

action.

Uncertain of the logic behind his actions, Kaiba trusted his instincts. He summoned Blue Eyes White Dragon, and with a deafening roar, the monster unleashed a blast that sent Aknadin flying. Only after confirming that Yuna wasn't seriously injured did Kaiba finally allow himself to slightly lower his guard.

But the seething hatred he felt toward Aknadin remained. Kaiba was determined to make him

pay.

Gritting his teeth, Aknadin fired off a series of magical attacks in rapid succession. Yet, none of them could pierce the impenetrable scales of Blue Eyes White Dragon. "Kuh... What a powerful spirit..." he muttered through clenched teeth.

Desperate, Aknadin raised his hands to the sky. Dark chains erupted from the ground, wrapping tightly around the dragon's limbs. Blue Eyes White Dragon howled in fury, thrashing against the bindings, but the more it struggled, the more chains reinforced its hold.

Seizing the opportunity, Aknadin hurled several black blades directly at Kaiba. Blue Eyes White Dragon tried to shield its master with its tail but only managed to deflect half of the

incoming projectiles.

Kaiba barely managed to dodge, but the black blades still grazed his side and face, leaving fresh cuts in their wake. As he touched the wound on his cheek, his scowl deepened while Aknadin's confidence surged.

"Without that spirit protecting you, you're just like any other weak mortal..." Aknadin

sneered.

Kaiba smirked coldly. "Yeah? And without your magic tricks, you're just an old man who's outlived his usefulness."

"You... you bastard!" Aknadin roared, his anger blinding him. His attacks grew more savage, each one fueled by rage. Kaiba's wounds multiplied as he struggled to evade the relentless onslaught, the cuts on his body deepening with each strike.

*WHOOOSH*

Here's a refined version of the passage:

Kaiba rolled to the side just as Aknadin's assault tore apart the ground beside him. Blue Eyes

White Dragon struggled to break free, but the chains tightened with each movement,

trapping the mighty creature.

"What will you do now?!" Aknadin cackled, his voice dripping with malice. "Now die!!"

Despite the grim situation, Kaiba remained unfazed. With calm precision, he dodged every one of Aknadin's attacks. His mind was clear, and he knew he needed to buy as much time as possible. After all, who said he was fighting this battle alone?

*BOOOOOM*

Suddenly, a bright orange flame blasted into Aknadin's back, sending him crashing to the ground with a scream. The sheer force pinned him to the floor. As the flames subsided, Aknadin turned with a furious glare toward the source of the attack, his mask barely hiding his

shock.

He expected to see Blue-Eyes White Dragon free from its chains, but instead, a completely different dragon soared above him. Its golden scales shined in the air, contrasting sharply with Blue-Eyes' pale form.

Its underbelly was silver, and sharp spikes and horns lined its back and joints. The dragon's blood-red eyes locked onto Aknadin with seething contempt before letting out a deafening roar. In one mighty blast, it shattered the chains that bound Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Did I keep you waiting?" Yuna asked, stepping beside Kaiba.

"You might still be hurt," Kaiba said, his voice edged with concern. "I can handle this a bit

longer."

"And let you fight alone?" she teased with a small smile. "You looked like you were barely hanging on. Besides, this will end faster if we fight together."

Kaiba couldn't argue with that. He gave a nod, and Yuna's smile brightened. Just then,

Aknadin struggled back to his feet, his breath ragged, and it was clear his regeneration had

slowed.

"Let's finish this," Kaiba muttered. Together, they commanded their dragons to strike, determined to end the battle once and for all...

[Kisara's POV]

"Seto, please, snap out of it!" I shook his arms desperately, but he remained as lifeless as

ever, his gaze vacant.

BOOOOM

I screamed, instinctively covering my head with my hands as a golden dragon crashed to the ground nearby. Its deafening roar echoed as it shook off the debris clinging to its back before charging at Lord Aknadin once more.

"Yuna and that man... they're fighting with everything they've got," I mumbled helplessly, my voice trembling. "And here I am, useless..."

Staring into Seto's empty eyes, I felt a deep pang of loss. My fingers tightened around his

hand as frustration bubbled up inside me. "There's got to be something I can do..." I muttered under my breath, my mind racing.

As my eyes darted around frantically, I spotted something-the Millennium Rod, gripped

tightly in Seto's hand. Its surface shimmered in the night, reflecting my troubled face. With a sense of urgency, I reached for it. Seto flinched, and my heart leapt in surprise. But I didn't hesitate. I grabbed the Millennium Rod, and instantly, a blinding light exploded from

it.

Before I could comprehend what was happening, everything went dark. The world around me fell eerily silent. I looked around, confused and disoriented, and found myself standing in what could only be described as a black void, empty and isolating. Not a single soul in sight.

Uneasily, I began to walk through the void, one hand outstretched, searching for something, anything. My heart pounded in my chest as I ventured deeper into the darkness when, at last, something appeared in the distance, an object faint but tangible.

However, as I drew closer, I quickly realized that what I saw wasn't an object but a person...

"S... Seto!!" I yelped, rushing toward him.

He sat hunched on the ground, hugging his knees, lost in a daze. Concerned, I placed my hands on his shoulders and gently shook him. "Seto, Seto, are you okay?!"

At the sound of my voice, his fingers twitched, and he slowly lifted his head. "K... Kisara?"

"Thank goodness! I found you!" I exclaimed, relief flooding through me. "I don't know where we are right now, but if you give me some time, I'll figure something out!" Seto stared at me, a frown creasing his brow as the light slowly returned to his eyes. Suddenly,

he straightened his back and stood up, confusion etched across his face. "What is this...?"

"Seto?" "You're not Kisara," he muttered coldly, his breath shaky with tension. "I... I saw the explosions and flames... Kisara is dead..."

"What? No! Yuna and I survived! Look!" I frantically waved my hands. "I'm really okay."

"H... How can I believe you?" He shot back, his scepticism palpable. "You might just be a figment of my imagination..."

"You have to believe me, Seto," I urged gently. "I'm safe." I reached out my hand and lightly patted his shoulder.

"If you don't believe me, then let me tell you something only we would know," I offered, forcing a smile as Seto looked at me in confusion. "During our first date, there was a bandit robbing a stall on the street. Trying to impress me, you decided to personally apprehend the robber, but you tripped over a dog po..."

Suddenly, Seto covered my mouth with his hand, his face flushing with embarrassment. "Stop... I believe you..." He pulled me into a tight embrace, and I felt his tears soaking into my

back. "I thought I lost you..."

"I should be the one saying that!" I laughed, relief washing over me. "I'm so glad you're

okay..." Once he had calmed down, Seto released me and glanced around, confusion creeping into his expression. "Where are we?"

"I'm not sure... I was brought here when I touched the Millennium Rod," I replied, wearing a thoughtful expression. "But it seems we're blocked from the outside world..."

"I see..." Seto muttered. "Then there must be a way to escape..."

As we pondered our next move, a black mist suddenly enveloped us. A hollow growl echoed

through the void as the mist gradually morphed into a figure. "You!!" Seto shouted at

Aknadin, who materialized before us. He quickly positioned himself between me and the looming threat.

"Yes, me..." Aknadin hissed, his voice laced with malice as he clutched the side of his face. "As

if there isn't enough trouble already. How dare you defy me now?!" Despite his anger, his dishevelled appearance and occasional tremors suggested he was more weakened than before. Yuna and that man were evidently giving him more trouble than I had

anticipated.

Yet, even in his weakened state, Aknadin's power was undeniable, and I could feel my body tense. "Fine... I'll get rid of you two. I can always revive you once I eliminate them all!!" With a furious roar, Aknadin unleashed a massive wave of magic. Pushing me aside, Seto was struck square in the chest with the force of his attack.

"Seto!" I cried out as he was thrown into the distance. Coughing, Seto grasped his chest in pain, clearly unable to fight. He tried to stand, gritting his

teeth against the agony, but Aknadin kicked him back to the ground as if toying with him. Just as I prepared to rush to his side, Aknadin's figure suddenly materialized in front of me. He gripped my neck and lifted me off the ground, leaving my legs flailing helplessly. "It was

you who always hindered me... Unlike everyone else, I won't indulge in your delusions..." "Delusions?" I retorted through strained breaths. "It's you, Lord Aknadin, who can't accept that there may be another way to save everyone. You can call me naive, but I won't give up

until I've truly done everything I can..."

His annoyance flared, and I felt his grip around my throat tighten. "Then die while you

continue to live in your fantasy..."

As my ability to breathe slipped away, my mind began to fragment. Time slowed, and my

senses dulled. My heartbeat thundered in my ears, drowning everything else out, while a numbing sensation spread through my limbs, my fingertips tingling. Amidst the haze, I couldn't shake the image of Seto's pained expression as Aknadin harmed

him right before my eyes. A searing anger ignited within me as I stared at Aknadin, growing stronger with each passing second.

Heat coursed through my body, and I instinctively reached out, grabbing Aknadin's wrist. My fingers tightened around his arm until an unnatural sound echoed through the air. Suddenly, Aknadin was blasted away by an unseen force, and I crumpled to the floor.

Groaning, the heat within me continued to rise, and my pupils trembled. This rage wasn't my own; it felt like someone or something was channelling anger on my behalf. Confused, I placed my palm on the ground, only to quickly retract it in shock. Imprinted on

the floor was a massive claw print, marked by four sharp claws. Slowly, I rose to my feet, my body swaying dizzily as I grasped my head. A sharp pain assaulted my mind, and a feminine

voice whispered in my ear.

Let me out...Nôv(el)B\\jnn

I will protect you...

"Who are you..." I mumbled to the voice.

Your Spirit and Soul... Your forever guardian...

Summon Me... Call upon my name...

Words continuously flowed into my head, and I frowned. Gradually, I lost control of my lips,

and I uttered in a trance:

"With scales white as the moon and eyes blue as the sky...

Please respond to my desperate cry...

Let my enemies succumb to your might...

I summon you, Blue Eyes White Dragon, take flight!"

*WOOOOOOSH*

A surge of energy enveloped me, accompanied by a thunderous roar. I turned to see a majestic

dragon, its white scales shimmering in the light as it flapped its mighty wings. At that

moment, I felt an unbreakable connection to this divine creature.

"My spirit..." I whispered in awe.

Regaining my composure, I fixed my gaze on Aknadin, who was momentarily transfixed by

"Blue

the sight of my Blue Eyes White Dragon. Raising my finger to point at him, I declared, Eyes White Dragon, attack!" Without a moment's hesitation, the dragon unleashed a brilliant blast of white energy, incinerating Aknadin in a dazzling display of power.

[3rd POV]

Meanwhile, in the outside world...

Aknadin coughed violently, blood pouring from his mouth and streaming down the crack of

his mask. He could feel the remnants of the consciousness he had injected into Seto being

obliterated, leaving his mind in disarray.

Before he could react, a large stinger pierced his body. Hissing mischievously, the Starving Venom Fusion Dragon hurled him toward the Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand. How had it come to this? Aknadin had always believed his power was unrivalled, that not even

a sacred guardian could stand against him. Yet here he was, being tossed around like a ragdoll.

While he thought he could manage when it was only Blue Eyes White Dragon and Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand, Aknadin couldn't believe his eyes when Yuna summoned a second dragon, pressuring him even further...

"Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Yuna shouted as the two dragons opened their mouths, revealing a fierce glow of orange and purple. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Wipe him from the face of the earth!" Kaiba commanded, and the

white dragon responded in kind.

In a synchronized assault, the dragons unleashed their devastating breaths, merging into a

swirling tempest of white, purple, and gold. In a final, desperate bid for survival, Aknadin screamed and conjured a pale black shield, bracing for the impending onslaught. BOOOOOM

Here's a refined version of your passage:

He gritted his teeth as the heat from the three attacks seared his arms. Ignoring the pain

coursing through his body, Aknadin poured all his power into reinforcing his shield. If he could survive this onslaught, he might find a way to escape and recover... As the shield held firm, a slow smile crept across Aknadin's face. Yes... as long as I maintain this

spell... But he had forgotten that Yuna and Kaiba weren't the only ones fighting against him.

"My spirit, Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack Lord Aknadin!" Kisara shouted fiercely, having awakened from Seto's mind.

"GAH!" Aknadin screamed, hastily conjuring another shield behind him. "Perish, you traitor!" Priest Seto roared, launching a powerful spell with his Millennium Rod,

blasting the already weakened shield.

With attacks converging from all sides, the barrier Aknadin had painstakingly constructed

shattered under the relentless onslaught. A blinding explosion erupted, illuminating the

night sky and momentarily turning it into day...

When the sky returned to normal, Aknadin's body dropped down from the sky. His body was completely charred, and his limbs were broken. His regenerative ability has stopped working, and he can only wait until his body shuts down completely.

"H...How..."

"You kept talking about our efforts being useless..." Yuna approached him and muttered

coldly, "But in the end, it was your greed and the power that you borrowed being useless..." "Y... You!!!" Aknadin gasped, and Yuna turned her back towards him.

"Take your last moments to reflect..." She spoke calmly and walked away to where Kaiba and

Kisara were waiting.

"No... no... I WILL AT LEAST TAKE YOU WITH ME!!!" Aknadin threw himself towards Yuna,

purplish flames gathered in his hands, "DIE!!!"

However, already expecting this, Yuna merely sighed in disappointment, "House Dragonmaid... Finish him..."

Before Aknadin's attack could land, a tall woman in a servant uniform appeared and punched

him in the face, shattering his mask. Breaking his guard, the maid grasped his collar with one

hand while clenching her fist with the other. With a smile, House Dragon Maid tossed him into the air and unleashed a loud cry:

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA

ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORAAAAAAAA!!!!" In just three seconds, Aknadin was struck dozens of times in various areas of his body. With one last punch, his was sent flying into the air. With a thud, Aknadin's corpse lay on the ground, and his body began to emit steam, gradually returning to its original form before he

was given Zorc's power.

"Farewell..." Yuna nodded briefly at his corpse before turning seriously at her friends. Despite

the fierce battle that occurred moments ago, she knew that there was no time to relax.

Zorc Necrophades will soon arrive, and they have a lot to prepare...

I hope you enjoy it.
