Marik [4000LP] [Hand: 5]
Bakura [4000LP] [Hand: 5]
As the duel started, the field became more hazy and all of them looked at each other with their own purpose.
''In this shadow game, everytime our life points decrese, so does our bodies and since i recomended that it would be a tag duel, i will start, I draw, First i begin to summon my *Decayed Commander*, in defence mode.''
From the stadium ground, a zombie with a worn out armor appears on the field.

[Defence: 1500]
''I activate his special ability, when he is summoned to the field from my hand, i can summon *Zombie Tiger* from my hand as well and i place him in defence mode.''
[Zombie Tiger]
[Effect Monster]
[Zombie]
[Attack: 1400]
[Defence: 1600]
''I also place 2 card facedown, i end my turn.''
Both Bakura and Marik looked at the shadow with cautious, Marik know his other half deck more then anything, however this individual is unknown to both of them, so they don´t know how good he is as a duelist.
Marik looked at his other half with anger, ''My turn then, I draw! first i activate my magic card, *Polymerization*, i fuse my *Worm Drake* and my *Humanoid Slime* to fusion summon my *Humanoid Worm Drake* in attack mode.''
[Humanoid Worm Drake]
[Fusion Normal Monster]
[Aqua]
[Attack: 2200]
[Defence: 2000]
''I also place 1 card facedown, i end my turn.''
Marik looked at his other half with rage and determination, he wanted his body back and get rid of his evil half once and for all.
Yami Marik looked at his soft side with a smirk, ''Very well, my turn then, i draw, first i summoning my *Newdoria* in defence mode, i also place 2 card facedown, ending my turn.''
[Newdoria]
[Effect Monster]
[Fiend]
[Attack: 1200]
[Defence: 800]
Bakura looked at Marik´s move with laughter, such a weak monster couldn´t handle what he has in store.
''Muhaha, is that all you both can do, i have to admit, this might be easier then i thought.''
Yami Marik looked at Bakura with an amused face while the Shadow was just looking at Bakura with desire, something Bakura has felt ever since he saw the shadow.
''But first thing first, i summon my *The Portrait´s Secret* in attack mode, i also place 2 card facedown, counting down your demise.''
[The Portrait´s Secret]
[Normal Monster]
[Fiend]
[Attack: 1200]
[Defence: 1500]
All of them looked at each other, each plotting their evil scheme.
Shadow? [4000LP] [Hand: 2]
Yami Marik [4000LP] [Hand: 3]
Marik [4000LP] [Hand: 2]
Bakura [4000LP] [Hand: 3]
The Shadow smiled, ''Let the hurt begin, i draw! first i tribute my *Decayed Commander* to summon my *Great Dezard* in attack mode.''
[Great Dezard]
[Effect Monster]
[Spellcaster]
[Attack: 1900]
[Defence: 2300]
''I then activate my *Pot Of Greed*, this card allows me to draw 2 cards from my deck.''
As he drew 2 card, his smile became more shown, ''I activate my Ritual Spell *Contract Of Mask*, i send my Lvl 6 *Neo Aqua Madoor* from my hand to ritual summon my lvl 6 *Mask Of Shine & Dark* in attack mode.''
[Mask Of Shine & Dark]
[Ritual Effect Monster]
[Spellcaster]
[Attack: 2000]
[Defence: 1800]
As the mask appears on the field, it´s face had such pressure that both Marik and Bakura was feeling a bad feeling in their stomach.
''What card is that!? i havn´t seen it before!''
The Shadow looked at them with an amused face, ''I be suprised if you did, this card is one of many cards that has been sealed long ago by the pharaoh himself, it´s power wrecked havoc into egypt, however after getting sealed, everyone lost memories of it just like pharaoh lost his memories.''
The darkness from the card was showing, as it smiled a creepy smile.
''Well then, let me continue, *Mask Of Shine & Dark*, attack his *Humanoid Worm Drake*!''
Marik looked at the shadow with confusion, ''But my monster is stronger then yours? what the deal?''
The shadow just smiled, *Mask Of Shine & Dark* disappeared from the field and appeared in front of the slime, only for it to smile and scream, making Marik *Humanoid Worm Drake* crumble into a puddle and got destroyed.
''What happend!? how did my monster get destroyed? he had stronger attack points!?''
''My monster has a special ability, if it battles a monster that is not a Dark or Light attribute, it destroys the monster, and my monster can only be destroyed by an Dark and Light attribute monster.''
Marik looked at the shadow with scorn, to think it such an ability, and while he was thinking that, suddenly he sees part of his arm disappear.
''What is this!? how is part of my arm disappearing!? i didn´t take any damage!?''
The shadow smiled, ''Ohh but you did, you see, when my monster destroyes a monster with his special ability, you lose 500 life points.''
Marik: [500 Dmg - 4000LP = 3500LP]
''Oh i havn´t forgotten about you Bakura, *Great Dezard* attack his *The Portrait´s Secret* and destroy it!''
Bakura looked like he wanted him to attack, ''Fool, you activate my trap card, *Bark Of Dark Ruler*, If a fiend monster i control battles, i can pay life points, and for how much life points i pay, your monster lose that much attack points.''
As Bakura was explaning, but as his card activates but it doesn´t appear on the field.
''What´s happening? why isn´t my card activating it´s effect!?''
The shadow clapped his hand, ''A good effort, but i activate a trap card while you were explaining your monsters effect, *Royal Decree* this trap card makes any other trap card useless, and it stay on the field untill destroyed.''
Bakura was shocked, such a powerful trap card, that means most of his cards and Marik card´s useless.
''Lets continue, *Great Dezard* continue your attack on *The Portrait´s Secret* and destroy it!''
The very monster that looked like a priest, attacked with an shining light, destroying Bakura´s monster.
''Grrrgh!''
[1900 Attack - 1300 Attack = 600 Dmg - 4000LP = 3400LP]
''I end my turn, oh what´s wrong? you are looking pale? is this shadow game to much for you both?''
As part of Bakura´s body disappears, he looked at the shadow with evil intet, ''You may have struck first, but i will have the last laugh! and the joke will be on you!''
Yami Marik looked at the shadow with intruge, so far he has made those fools both lose life points and destroyed their monster in just one move, however, he has restricted me aswell since his trap card seals all trap cards.
Marik looked at the shadow and was thinking hard, this shadow has alot of suprises and cards that he never seen before, as a rare hunter, he should of know of these cards, but ever since Ryze Minato and his Wicked God cards appear, he lost the confident as a previous rare hunter.
''Let me even the field, first i draw!, I activate *Monster Reborn*, this card allows me to summon any monster from our graveyard to my side of the field, and i summon back my *Humanoid Worm Drake* in attack mode!''
As Marik activated his card, The slime gathered together and formed the monster back again.
''Im not done, i summon my *Kabazauls* in attack mode as well.''
[Kabazauls]
[Normal Monster]
[Dinosaur]
[Attack: 1700]
[Defence: 1500]
''*Humanoid Worm Drake*, attack his *Great Dezard* now!''
The *Humanoid Worm Drake* wrapped around *Great Dezard* inside itself to destroy it inside out.
Shadow? [2200 Attack - 1900 Attack - 300 Damage -4000LP = 3700LP]
As the slime was done with his attack and the shadows bady parts was disappearing, to the shock of Marik, The *Great Dezard* was still on the field.
''What now? why isn´t your monster destroyed!?''
The shadow just pointed at his other card that was facedown before but now isn´t, ''I activate my Magic card, *Mist Body* this equip magic card give my monster the immunity to be destroyed in battle.''
''Argh fine, i havn´t forgot about you my dark half! *Kabazauls*, attack his *Newdoria* now!''
As Marik monster charges at Yami Mariks monster, he smiled, ''Heh, You fool.''
Mariks monster destroyed *Newdoria* and suddenly a dark mist came in it´s stead.
''What is this!?''
''You fool, if you were me, then you should know that when *Newdoria* is destroyed in battle, i can destroy one monster on the field, the monster i choose is your *Humanoid Worm Drake*! go my mist, destroy his monster!''
As the mist appears on the monster, Marik had other plans, ''Not so fast, i activate my facedown, *De-Fusion* this allows my monster to seperate to become the monsters that formed it and i place them in defence mode!''
[Worm Drake]
[Normal Monster]
[Reptile]

&
[Humanoid Slime]
[Normal Monster]
[Aqua]
[Attack: 800]

*I place one card facedown and end my turn.*
''You got lucky, but luck can only bring you so far, just look at little Joey, his luck ended when he faced me!, my turn i draw! first i summon my *Drillago* in attack mode!''
[Drillago]
[Effect Monster]
[Machine]
[Attack: 1600]
[Defence: 1100]
''*Drillago*, attack my weaker side *Worm Drake*, destroy it just like his spirit!''
*Drillago jumped and used his arm and head that was a drill and destroyed it.
''I will end my turn.''
The shadow looked at the Yami Marik with a scuff, he was holding back his cards, he knew he could do more but he Choose not to, just to make them suffer more.
''It´s my move!''
Yami Marik smiled, ''Go ahead, it doesn´t matter which card you play next, i know your deck very well and none of your move will suprise me, remember? i witness your last duel.''
Bakura was looking at his hand, ''If he´s familiar with my cards, he will expect *(Destiny Board*... no with that shadow creature´s trap card, this card would be usless anyways, but it´s time to change my stratagy).''
''First i tribute Marik´s *Humanoid Slime* to summon an even stronger monster, my *Dark Ruler Ha Des* in attack mode!''
[Dark Ruler Ha Des]
[Effect Monster]
[Fiend]
[Attack: 2450]
[Defence:1600]
''Attack the shadow´s *Mask Of Shine & Dark* my *Dark Ruler Ha Des*, destroy this mask now!!!''
The Shadow looked at Bakura and know his monster will be destroyed, *Dark Ruler Ha Des* is a dark attribute monster and stronger then his monster, unless Yami Marik use his facedown to save him, but as he looked at Yami Marik, he just smiled and made a smug gesture.
The mask destroyed and the darkness from the mask disappears, however the darkness with in the mask smiled at the shadow which he nodded to.
Shadow? [2450 Attack - 2000 Attack - 450 Damage - 3700LP = 3350LP]
Bakura and Marik noticed Yami Marik´s and the shadow look at each other and knew one thing, They are not getting along!
''Guess i shouldn´t count on you to save me Yami Marik.'' his body parts disappears again as he loses life points.
''Haha, you told me you have something to offer me, now´s your chance to do it, show me how good you are and im might join you.''
''....Very well.''
Bakura laughed, ''Looks like they don´t get along, i play 1 card facedown and end my turn!''
Shadow? [3350LP] [Hand: 0]
Yami Marik [4000LP] [Hand: 3]
Marik [3500LP] [Hand: 0]
Bakura [3400LP] [Hand: 2]
