Yu-Gi-Oh!: Don't you have your own cards?

"Hey, you've trapped us here," Yu Tian said helplessly. "What if Kaiba draws us in the first duel?"

Isis smiled.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yutian. The first duel is between Pharaoh... it's between Yugi Muto and Mori, it has nothing to do with us."

"Besides, the first duel has already begun."

As she spoke, Isis looked out the window.

You Tian frowned.

Isis turned her head toward Yutian again.

"Of course, I can also tell you that the second duel was between Jonouchi and Rishid, the one who called himself 'Malik'."

"These are visions of the future I see through the millennia-old jewelry around my neck."

"However, I'm sure you'd know even if I didn't tell you, right?"

You Tian did not reply.

"The cage of fate is so strong that even the arrival of travelers from other worlds cannot shake it in the slightest."

At this point, Isis seemed somewhat saddened.

"Oh, sorry, I've gone a bit off-topic."

"Let's go back to my earlier suggestion."

She turned her gaze to You Tian again.

"I urge you to duel with me..."

"Fight me for one round."

A question mark appeared above You Tian's head.

"One round?"

Isis nodded.

"Yes, I only need to confirm one thing. One round shouldn't take up too much of your time, right?"

Although I don't know what Isis is up to, since I can't get out, I might as well accept this duel.

"Alright," You Tian said helplessly.

So...

"Duel!" x2

"My first strike!" Isis shouted first.

"Mr. You Tian!"

"Hmm?" You Tian looked at the other person in confusion.

"Before the duel, there is one more thing I must tell you."

You Tian: "What is it?"

Isis slowly closed her eyes, her face tilting upwards.

"I come from the Ishdar family, the family of tomb keepers in Egypt. As a family that guards the secrets of the Pharaoh, we have lived in underground caves for three thousand years."

"Countless tragedies have been born in these three thousand years."

"And my brother, Malik Ishdar, became the one who brought this tragedy to an end."

As she said this, two lines of clear tears seemed to stream down the girl's face.

"When I received the thousand-year-old jewelry, I immediately knew the cruelty of fate."

You Tian understood what Isis meant.

In the original DM storyline, the Ishtar family can be described as a tragic family.

Their clan has guarded the ancient artifact tablets of Atum for three thousand years.

The men in their tribe were especially burdened with heavy responsibilities.

The eldest son of Ishdar in each generation will become the heir of the tomb-guarding family, and will have to carve the secret of the millennia-old stone tablet on his back, so that one day he can offer that secret to the resurrected Pharaoh.

The process of engraving the secret seal can only be described as cruel and bloody.

In addition, the heir is not allowed to step out of the underground cave until he comes of age.

Such a heavy responsibility tormented Ishtar for three thousand years.

Now, the Pharaoh has been resurrected.

This should have been exciting news for the Ishdar family, as they could finally be freed from the endless curse.

However, as the last heir of the tomb-guarding family, Malik Ishdar was chosen by the Millennium Staff.

Perhaps it was a cruel joke of fate, or perhaps it was destiny's will, but Dark Malik, born from the Thousand-Year-Old Staff, suddenly killed their father, drawing back the second curtain of misfortune for the Ishdar family.

"My brother will become the sacrifice for the Pharaoh's awakening!"

Isis said this.

"That's just how fate works!"

She opened her eyes again and stared directly at You Tian.

"But now, I see a hope to break free from this fate!"

"Mr. Yutian, your deck should contain the card of [Amazon], right?"

You Tian was slightly taken aback.

Yes, there is.

Isis was pleasantly surprised.

"Then there's no problem!"

"In this second duel, Rishid will be defeated by the wrath of the Winged Dragon of Ra, while my brother, Malik's dark personality, will seize control of fate and offer my brother up on the altar."

"The third duel will be between the controller of [Amazon] and his dark personality."

"And this person..." Isis said, pointing to the sky.

"It's you!"

You Tian's eyelids twitched.

In the original storyline, the third match was between Mai and Dark Malik. The one controlling the Amazons in fate, shouldn't it be Mai?

"Mr. You Tian, ​​you're not from this world, are you?"

You Tian's eyes sharpened.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. You Tian. As I said, I have no ill intentions."

Isis slowly exhaled.

"According to ancient legends, travelers from other worlds usually possess the power to defy fate."

"If this legend is true, then perhaps my brother's chance of survival lies with you!"

You Tian's eyelids twitched again.

Haha! Where did you hear this rumor from? What does it have to do with me? In the original story, defeating Dark Malik and rescuing your brother was clearly just a game!

Huh? Come to think of it, the game also features a pharaoh of the underworld, so he's practically a traveler from another world. Could it be...?

Isis's gaze was firm, her eyes filled with determination.

"Therefore, I must determine here whether you have the ability to defy fate and create your future!"

Then, Isis waved her hand.

"Therefore, I will use the power of the millennium-old jewelry to summon the heaviest cage of the future!"

A question mark appeared above You Tian's head.

"What do you mean?"

Isis did not answer.

She immediately used the power of the millennium-old jewelry once again.

Whoosh! The room was filled with golden light! And finally, all the points of light converged on her deck of cards in the duel disk.

You Tian quickly used his arm to block out the light.

"Mr. You Tian, ​​in short!"

"Defeat me in one round!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I send [Zorga the Foresight] from my hand to the graveyard, and Special Summon [Keldor the Statues] in Attack Position!"

[Statue of the Deity Keldo] [Attack Power: 1200]

Wait a minute!!! What did you throw away?! What did you summon?! ???

"When the effect of [Keldor the Goddess] is activated, and this card is Special Summoned by its own effect, I can add one card from my Deck that describes [Reversal of the Realm and the Underworld] to my hand!"

"I'm adding [Sword God M'dora] from my deck to my hand!"

Wait a minute!!! What did you take this time?!

"I will now send [Ancient Guardian Argento] into the Graveyard to Special Summon [Sword God Priest Mudora]!"

[Sword God Official Mudora] [Attack Power: 1500]

You Tian: !!!

"If the effect of [Ancient Guardian Argento] is activated, and this card is sent from the hand to the Graveyard, both players must send the top 5 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard."

You Tian is stunned.jpg

Swish swish swish swish! ×2

Isis looked at her card, which had been sent to the grave.

"Among the cards I sent to the Graveyard is 'Reversal of the Realm and the Underworld.' Based on the effect of 'Ancient Guardian Argento,' while 'Reversal of the Realm and the Underworld' exists in my Graveyard, I may send 5 more cards to the Graveyard!"

Swish swish swish swish!

[Isis Graveyard Cards: 12] [Wandering Sky Graveyard Cards: 5]

You Tian remained dazed.jpg

"The effect of [Sword God M'dora], summoned by its own effect, is activated. I can add one [Gravekeeper Trap] from my Deck to the field!"

【Gravekeeper's Trap】【Effect: You can only use each of this card's ② and ③ effects once per turn. ①: As long as you have 【Reversal of the Realm and the Underworld】 in your Graveyard, your opponent cannot activate the effects of cards in their Graveyard or Special Summon monsters from their Graveyard. ②: During both players' Main Phases, you can discard 1 card to activate this effect. Add 1 【Gravekeeper】 monster or EARTH Fairy-Type monster from your Deck to your hand. ③: If this card is face-up, before your opponent's Draw Phase, they must declare 1 card name to activate this effect. If the card drawn in their Normal Draw is the declared card, send it to the Graveyard.】

"I'll activate the effect of [Gravekeeper's Trap] again. I'll send [Ancient Vanguard Kel'Bark] from my hand to the graveyard and add [Gravekeeper's Descendant] from my deck to my hand!"

You Tian is still in a daze.jpg

"When the effect of [Ancient Vanguard Kelpock] is activated and sent to the Graveyard is applied, if this card is sent from the hand to the Graveyard, both players must send 5 more cards from the top of their Deck to the Graveyard."

Swish swish swish swish! ×2

[Isis Graveyard Cards: 18] [Wandering Sky Graveyard Cards: 10]

"After that, when I have 'Reversal of the Realm and the Underworld' in my graveyard, I can choose one Trap Card from my graveyard and set it to my field."

"But at the same time, I will activate the effects of [Keldor the Goddess] and [Mudora the Sword God] on the field. When [Reversal of the Realm and the Underworld] is in my graveyard, by banishing these two cards, I can return up to 10 cards from your graveyard to your deck!"

Swish swish swish swish!

[Isis Graveyard Cards: 18] [Wandering Sky Graveyard Cards: 0]

"The effects of [Ancient Vanguard Kelberk] continue!"

Without hesitation, Ishi picked up the "Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld" from the cemetery.

[Effect (Uncensored): If you have 15 or more cards in your Graveyard, you can pay 1000 LP to activate this effect. Both players exchange all cards in their Deck and Graveyard, then shuffle their decks.]

"I'm going to put this card face down on the field!"

You Tian: ...

[Therefore, I will use the power of this thousand-year-old jewelry to summon the heaviest cage of the future!]

Isis's words echoed in You Tian's ears like a ghost. His lips twitched, and he stared blankly at the scene before him.

Haha, I'll beat your mother!
