"Get ready Twilight, even someone like you is no match for the power of my Psychic Monsters," Cinch scoffed.
"Oh I'm trembling in my boots...not," Dark-Twilight snickered as she prepared her duel disk as well. "Just to let you know, I won't be using any of Twilight's pathetic spell-casters, I have a new deck ready, with even new terrifying twists that even you will never see coming!"
"I'm not scared of you, or your new deck," Cinch retorted.
"Oh Really, then why do I see such fear in your eyes," Dark Twilight said as the right side of her face started to distort into a more demented-looking face.
"Let's Duel," Both Dark Twilight and Cinch said as the duel commenced.
Twilight Sparkle LP: 8000
Abacus Cinch LP: 8000
"My turn," Cinch said as she drew 1 card.
Cinch's Starting Hand: Psi-Blocker, Reinforced Human Psychic Borg, Emergency Teleport, Telekinetic Power Well, Psychic Feel Zone, and Mental Seeker.
"I summon Psi-Blocker to the field in Attack Mode!" Cinch commanded.
Psi-Blocker: Level 4: Psychic Monster
ATK: 1200, DEF: 300
"Then I'll activate the spell card, emergency teleport," Cinch stated as her spell card activated. "With this card, I can special-summon one level-3 or lower psychic monster from my hand or deck, but I must banish it during the end phase of my turn."
"And with that, I summon the level 2 tuner monster, Psychic Jumper," Cinch said as she summons her monster in defense mode.
Psychic Jumper: Level 2, Psychic/Tuner Monster
ATK: 100, DEF: 1500
"And now, I will tune up my Level-2 Psychic Jumper with my Level-4 Psi-Blocker," Cinch said as she prepared to synchro summon. "Let's just see how powerful your new monsters are against this!"
"I Synchro Summon, PSYCHIC NIGHTMARE," Cinch roared.
Psychic-Nightmare: Level 6: Psychic Monster
ATK: 2400, DEF: 1800
"Heh, clever, very clever," Dark Twilight retorted. "But even that won't save your soul as I drag it down into the dark abyss."
"We'll see," Cinch said. "I place two cards face-down and end my turn, your move."
"Very well," Dark Twilight said as she drew a card.
Dark Twilight's Starting Hand: Humanoid Slime, Foolish Burial, Monster Reborn, Polymerization, Black Pendant, Remove Trap.
"First, I'll activate the spell card, foolish burial," Dark Twilight announced. "When this card is activated, I must send one monster from my deck to my graveyard."
Dark Twilight then sent the monster, Worm Drake to her graveyard.
"Now, I'll summon Humanoid Slime in defense mode," Dark Twilight said as she summoned her monster.
Humanoid Slime: Level-4, Aqua Type
ATK: 800, DEF: 2000
"Then I'll activate the spell card, Monster-Reborn," Dark Twilight stated. "This card allows me to revive one monster from either of our graveyards."
"So, I revive my Worm Drake from my graveyard," Dark Twilight announced.
Worm Drake: Level-4: Reptile Type:
ATK: 1400, DEF: 1500
"So, now I'll activate the spell-card Polymerization and make my two monsters into one powerful creature," Dark Twilight says as Humanoid Slime and Worm Drake are fused.
"I fusion summon, Humanoid Worm Drake," Dark Twilight announced.
Humanoid Worm-Drake: Level-7, Aqua Type
ATK: 2200, DEF: 2000
"Hah, if you think that slime worm will stand a chance against my Psychic Nightmare, then you're dead wrong," Cinch retorted.
"Oh but I have a card that could change all that," Dark Twilight said in a sinister voice. "I activate this spell card, the Dark and Mystical Black Pendant."
"The monster I equip this card to will gain 500 additional attack points, so I'll equip the black pendant to Humanoid Worm Drake," Dark Twilight retorted.
Humanoid Worm-Drake: Level-7, Aqua Type
ATK: 2700, DEF: 2000
"WHAT," Cinch said in shock.
"Humanoid Worm Drake, feast upon her Psychic Nightmare," Dark Twilight commanded as Humanoid Worm Drake destroyed Psychic Nightmare.
Cinch LP: 8000-300=7700
"Ugh," Cinch moaned in pain. "I'll make you regret that."
"Heh, you won't be doing anything for much longer once your soul is in the shadow realm and the Millenium Gauntlet is in my possession," Dark Twilight stated. "I end my turn."
"My move," Cinch said as she drew one card from her deck.
"I summon Silent Psychic Wizard," Cinch announced.
Silent Psychic Wizard: Level-4: Psychic Type
ATK: 1900, DEF: 0
"And once my Silent Psychic Wizard has been summoned, its special ability activates," Cinch retorted. "I can target one Psychic monster in my graveyard and I can banish it."
Cinch then banished her Psychic Nightmare.
Then I'll activate my face-down card, the spell card, Telekinetic Power Well," Cinch stated. "I can now special summon any number of level-2 or lower psychic monsters from my graveyard to the field, but it will cost me 300 life points for each psychic monster summoned."
"So, I'll bring my Psychic Jumper back to the field," Cinch said.
Abacus Cinch LP: 7300
"And now I'll tune up my level-2 Psychic Jumper with my level-4 Silent Psychic Wizard, to Synchro Summon Hyper Psychic Riser," Cinch announced.
Hyper Psychic Riser: Level-6: Psychic Type
ATK: 2000, DEF: 600
"And now that my Silent Psychic Wizard has left the field, I can summon the monster I just banished back to my side of the field," Cinch said as her Psychic Nightmare returned to the field.
"And now, I'll activate Psychic Nightmare's special ability," Cinch said. "I get to choose a card in your hand, and if I choose it correctly my Psychic Nightmare gains 1000 attack points."
"And since there's only one card in your hand, I say it's a spell card," Cinch said, much to Dark Twilight's shock, as it was her remove trap spell card.
Psychic-Nightmare: Level 6: Psychic Monster
ATK: 3400, DEF: 1800
"Psychic Nightmare, exact your burning vengeance on her Humanoid Worm Drake with Psychokinetic Pulse," Cinch ordered as Psychic Nightmare destroyed Humanoid Worm Drake.
Twilight Sparkle LP: 8000-700=7300
"Heh, thanks to Black Pendant going to the graveyard, you lose 500 of your life points," Dark Twilight cackled.
Abacus Cinch LP: 7300-500=6800
"Hyper Psychic Riser, attack her life points directly," Cinch ordered as her monster attacked.
"AAAGGGHHH," Dark Twilight wailed as she took the direct attack.
Twilight Sparkle LP: 7300-2000=5300
"So, have you had enough pain for one day," Cinch asked.
"Heh heh...hahahahaha...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA," Dark-Twilight laughed as she got off the ground.
"What's so funny," Cinch asked.
"Oh, what's so amusing to me that the warm-up is finally over," Dark Twilight cackled. "Now with the Magic of my Millenium Spell-Book, we'll be taking this duel to the birthplace of Duel-Monsters, THE SHADOW REALM!"
"LET THE SHADOW-GAME BEGIN," Dark Twilight laughed with Twisted Delight as the duel field was engulfed in a black and purple fog. "Be afraid Cinch, be very afraid, for the rules of this duel have now changed...FOREVER! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!"
"What is this, I've never seen a duel like this before," Cinch screeched in shock.
"I wouldn't be surprised," Dark Twilight retorted. "I'm playing the game as it was originally intended, back in the ancient times when God's fought against great Titans and armies of men killed each other for power and greatness."
"Y-YOU'RE INSANE," Cinch cried.
"Oh am I, do you say that because I use dark magic to fight in my duels," Dark Twilight retorted. "Last Time I checked, you do the same thing with your Millennium Gauntlet."
"ENOUGH, I ORDER YOU TO END THIS NOW," Cinch bellowed.
"You are in no position to be giving me orders, you pathetic mortal," Dark Twilight stated as her face distorted again.
"YOU WILL END THIS DUEL NOW," Cinch roared.
"Never, the Shadows grow hungry and they will be fed," Dark Twilight stated. "Besides you won't be entering the shadows alone, as when I do away with you and your Millennium Gauntlet is in my hands where it belongs, little weak Twilight will be joining you in the shadow realm."
"Now before we continue, I want to ask you a simple question," Dark Twilight asked.
"What is it," Cinch retorted.
"Have you ever wondered how the Millenium Item in your possession was created in the first place," Dark Twilight asked?
"Then tell me," Cinch asked.
"It was created after The Mighty Pharaoh lost against Yugi Muto and returned to his slumber," Dark Twilight said. However, there is more to this story. Have you ever heard of the Legend of the Cursed Eldlands?"
"If not, then allow me to tell you," Dark Twilight said. "There were once a group of Alchemists that wanted many things, including riches and fame. So they attempted to create the Magnum opus of alchemy, a Philosopher's Stone."
"However, to create such a relic, they required human souls," Dark Twilight said. "So they slaughtered many of their people to create the Philosopher's Stone.
"The Alchemists were trying to create this stone because they heard that a philosopher's stone had the magical power to turn something completely worthless into something valuable," Dark Twilight proclaimed. "They also heard that the stone excreted a certain elixir that would give the drinker immortality."
"And so, The Alchemists, blinded by their greed, had successfully created the Philosopher's Stone," Dark Twilight stated. "However, something went wrong, as the stone through the four stages of the Alchemical evolution."
"First was the Negredo stage, known as The Blackening, in which the stone started to decay and turn into a sickly black," Dark Twilight stated. "Then it went to the second stage, the Albedo stage known as The Whitening, in which the stone started becoming clear and turned white."
"Then came the Citrinitas Stage, or the yellowing, when it started letting out an infernal golden light," Dark Twilight stated. "However this was the part that went wrong, as the light started going out of control, as it regurgitated the souls of the people who were sacrificed to create the stone."
And finally, the stone turned to its fourth and final stage, the Rubedo stage, also known as the reddening," Dark Twilight stated. "It was a sign that the alchemic stage was complete, as it then let loose a bright crimson light, and the Alchemist's wishes had been granted."
"Everything that this crimson light touched turned into gold and all the people that saw its glow were granted with immortality," Dark Twilight said. "However, the rule of equivalent exchange had not been bypassed floors the walls and the statues all began turning gold so did the insects the animals and even the people."
"The gift of immortality was true, however the flesh of the mere mortal bodies began to decompose and their once great minds began to blur into a mindless haze when the dust finally settled, all that remained was horror," Dark Twilight stated. "And at the center of it all the philosopher's stone. The city would be renamed from this day onward as The Cursed Eldlands, a place that no one would dare tread."
"Well, that is until from the shadows a man appeared or perhaps a creature, for he had heard rumors of a city of gold with a jewel sitting at its center," Dark Twilight fortold. the man walked straight into the heart of the city and grabbed the mighty philosopher's stone with his bare hands."
"Through pure strength and his own sheer level of ego and greed he was able to perform a ritual that focused the gold's curse onto himself," Dark Twilight stated. "Because of this, the stone began merging with him warping him into the controller of the most powerful element and source of strength on the planet."
"With this power fused to his armor and with an army of golden-clad immortal soldiers he began his march to conquer the world turning all who would cross his path into his golden servants," Dark Twilight stated. "However once again the rules of equivalent exchange had been broken and a price needed to be paid, because, the more the golden lord used his powers the more his mind slowly began to slip from him until eventually the once proud and greedy lord had become a mindless creature and the stone that had started it all began taking on a new form."
"True, the original seven Millennium Items were away after the Pharaoh passed on, however, seven new Millennium items were created by this ancient deity of immense power, Eldlich, The Golden Lord."
"Eldlich was always afraid that one day the Pharaoh would return and smite him," Dark Twilight explained. "He was afraid that the Pharaoh would become a greater threat to him, so after reading from the ancient Egyptian scriptures, Eldlich sacrificed 99 of his subjects to give rise to the new seven Millennium Items."
"The Millennium Crown, The Millennium Spell-Book, The Millennium Gemstone, The Millennium Mirror, The Millennium Shield, The Millennium Gauntlet, and The Millennium Stone," Dark Twilight explained.
"However, Eldlich The Golden Lord sealed away a piece of his dark essence inside the Millennium Spell-Book, a piece of his essence that over time gave rise to me," Dark Twilight confessed. "That's right you pathetic mortal, I am the last fragment of Eldlich's essence that gained sentience over time. And it is my mission to prepare for my master, The Golden Lord's Resurrection to this world and his rise back to power over all creation."
"And it was poor pathetic little Twilight who then found me right before she entered the boat for Duelist Academy," Dark Twilight retorted. "And when she read from the spell book's ancient scriptures, she released me from my eternal prison, and gave me permittance to control her body, mind, and soul."
"But telling you this won't matter in the end, because if you think this is it, just wait. The Darkness of the Shadow Realm has an endless array of frightening twists that will send you screaming in sorrow, like being trapped in an eternal nightmare," Dark Twilight cackled. "Only this nightmare is much too real, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!"
