[i]ooc: Then, what happened to Mared? Oh, I hate these kind of things...[/i]

Hey, the idea is very nice, but I have to say one thing: most of these cards are a bit overpowered to my taste.

Mared entered a small tavern and looked around. A hat with a purple feather stood out and he walked to the table. "An appropriate harbor is one rare rose." The stranger said. "And the lighthouse atop it shin blue throough the night." Mared responded. "So you are the one Mared of Dryd'n." Mared blinked. "What?" "Yes, you are the best tracker of our organization. There IS a reason why we needed [i]you[/i] for this mission." He smiled warmly. "So, what IS this mission?" "The gardian of the Exodia PIece in the Light Realm has vanished. We sent someone else as a replacement, but our agent disappeared also. We want you to go there and investigate to find out what happened. You will most likely meet our other agent sent to replace the replacement." His interlocutor explained. "Very well. Where is the temple of Exodia in the Ligt Realm?" "In the region inhabitated by the Spellcasters." "Thus I can expect some resistance... Thank you. I must go now." Mared walked out and headed for the town's Est door.

"A baby's two basic fears are fear of noises and fear of falling. I'm afraid of making a lot of noise falling." Woody Allen, I believe

LostProphet said it well... *The 100 Most Beautiful Scottish Women...NEXT ON FOX!* "Man, They'll show anything....."

Still planning to start this whole thing, shade? BTW, I strongly suggest you PM the gamers to let them know once you start.

[i]OOC: Actially, bo realm holds 2 pieces: Air, Water, Earth, Fire and Light all hold one.[/i]

"I wonder what the finals will look like..." Hermes pondered, sprawled on his back and his bed. "The tournament was nice so far... Except the duel with Kai. I hope He'll make it to the final... Eh, I better get to sleep if I wanna be ready tomorrow." Hermes' eyes closed and he slowly drifted to sleep.

Paxine dropped a small stack of paper in front of her brother. He looked up from his plate with a surprised look on his face. "What is this?" "The result of the small research you asked me to perform. There are four people so far who registered a 'Book of the Moon' hability. Now, can you explain to me why you needed that information?" she demanded. "Simple. I can't stay at the court, but can't leave unless someone ask me to. Besides, it'll cause questions I don't want to answer. Thus the best thing to do is to fake my death and who better than someone with the hability to change it's appearance at will can do that?" Mared replied, scanning the four profiles. "Oh, clever, though it'll cause many problems." Paxine reflected. "This whole planet'"s destiny's in the balance!" Mared yelled up at her. She almost fell back in surprise. "What?!" She exclaimed. Mared suddenly realised what he had said. He grabbed the paper and walked out of the room. "Forget I ever said that." He said calmly. "But..." Paxine ran after her brother. She stepped in the corridor only to find it totally empty. Her eyes widened. "PAXINE, come here!" The Queen's voice boomed from the court. Sadly, Paxine walked down the corridor. --------- Te next day, the Earth Realm was thrown into mourning again after the death of the court's jester. A big reward was offered for any info that could lead to the arrestation of the murderer. Mared didn't really care anymore, he had to set on his mission.

Most certainly. Skull Lair, Man-Eater Bug, Penguin Soldier etc. couldn't be used against it though.

[i][SIZE=1]OOC: Here goes my originality... Well, at least [/i]my[i] Green Phantom King is ruler of a realm LOL[/SIZE][/i] Mared walked around the corner of a richly decorated hallway. The candle in his hand revealing magnificent paintings and precious wood furnitures. He swiftly opened a door to find himself in a small room similar to his own. A woman sitting at the desk turned sharply with blades inbetween her fingers. She leapt, but managed to stop in time when she recognized him. "Oh my God, Mared, you startled me!" she whispered. "Well, I take that as a compliment, Pax." he smirked. "How many times will I have to tell you not to call me that?" Paxine groaned. He laughed. "I need help. I can't let myself to blow my cover. You must look at the new hability records and tell me of anybody with a Black Dust Virus or Black Snake Sickness hability." The queen's double looked at him awkwardly. "I'll do as you ask me, but only because you're my brother. You'd be surprised how close my protection is needed to be." "I trust you, sister." He kissed the smaller woman on the forehead. [I][SIZE=1]Hey! Did any of you ever noticed how similar Princess of Tsurugi and Queen's Double are?[/SIZE][/I] :therock:

Mared entered the throne room gliding. The Green Phantom King looked at him with widening eyes. "What is this prodigy?" He asked. "Nice, eh? They're called Rollerblades. I've got them from a friend of mine in Machine Conversion Factory. They're fast, they're fun aAAAAAAAAAnd!!" His feet suddenly took flight and he fell on his back with a loud thump. :drunk: Little Dancing Fairies fluttered around his head as he slapped himself to normalty. "... easy to master." "I see... You haven't practiced enough I suppose?" The king asked with a hint of a smile. "Not really. I had... Other matters to attend." -------- [i]To Sand Stone I am sorry my black howls must bring unhappiness again, but I barely have anything but bad news. I haven't got around telling you of the last events, have I? A Hell Pawn Demon by the name of Hepadee managed to infiltrate the court disguised as a Swordsman from the Very Holy Order of Aile. His "Book of the Moon" hability allowed him perfect camouflage or disguise. He murdered Nemara, the court intendant and flew away. After a two-days long hunt, I managed to catch him. He almost killed me with a Black Dust Virus. Our Queen of Autumn Leaves decreed in respond that every citizen will have to register his main habilities to the Royal Magical Librarian. These files will be open to consultation unless a person has a good reason to ask that his file may not be made public. Also all strangers regardless of rank will have to submit to this decree or he wil be denied entry in the realm. I think there may be more dangerous monsters acting undercover in all realms and from what I've experienced, they could easily bypass such decrees, but I am not allowed to talk of such things to my king, especially from my position as a fool. The recent epidemy we heard of in Legendary City of Atlantis could be that same virus I have been infected with. Informations from other realms are vague and far between, better communications could be used. [/i] Mared signed of his own codename (Blood Orchis). He then folded the letter and stamped it with sealing wax. Opening a cage near his secretaire, he attached the message tho the foot of a howl and liberated it. He'll have to look out better if he wanted to truely protect the king and the queen. Another infiltrator like that could bring the doom of the whole realm. [I][SIZE=1]OOC: Tee-hee, it's always fun to relate all kinds of things to the card game... How many did you see in the post?[/SIZE][/I]

"It's my turn" Dox said. "And I play the magic card Call of Sanga! By sacrificing a single Thunder monster, I can summon Sanga of the Thunder!" A lightning bolt struck Thunder Dragon, who exploded. His parts reformed, creating the mighty thunder gardian. (2600/2200) "I can't attack this turn, so I'll have to end my turn." "You asked for it!" Kai claimed. "I play a magic card of my own, Call of Kazejin! By sacrificing my Blue-Winged Crown, I am allowed to summon Kazejin of the Wind!" A tornadoo formed around the screeching bird. When it receeded, Kazejin stood there. (2400/2000) "Now, Nymph of the Salmacis Fountain, " Hermes continued. "With your powers, help us! Make these three one!" "What is he doing?" Para asked. "I have no idea. We'll have to see it." Dox replied. "Create the almighty Gate Guardian!" Kai and Hermes chorused. Gate Guardian (3750/3400) now stood on Kai's field. The brothers gasped. "How is this possible??" "Simple, Nymph of the Salmacis Fountain allows us to use your monsters to fuse with ours. Now, Gate Gardian, attack Dox's life points!" In one multi-elemental attack, Dox's lifepoints vanished. (3200->0) Duel end! Winner: Hermes Kadukeus and Kai Valentine By way of: knockout Score: 6/0/0 twenty-height locator cards (7/1/1 fourteen locator cards) [i][SIZE=1]Trivia: Some people would argue that Gate Guardian should have been allowed to attack due to the Call of Kazejin card. Actually, [/i]Kazejin[/i] couldn't attack. Gate Guardian attacking was perfectly legal.[/SIZE][/i]

He painfully squeezed the air out of lungs. Who would have believed that breathing could make that much noise? He looked at his dusty blueish skin. Mared had barely managed to reach the castle. He needed to see a doctor. Tsun, one of the two gemini princess walkjed on him as he sat against the wall, exhausted and trying his breath. "Mared! What happened to you!" She cried. "Must... See... Dian Keto..." Mared squirted out wheezily. She helped him to his feet and into a room. "Someone bring [url=http://www.cardhaus.com/images/Ex-23.jpg]Dian Keto[/url] here NOW!" She yelled. A few servants scattered from the next door. ------ "There, there. Everything is going to be fine now." She murmured, bending over him. She skillfully examinated his skin and took his pulse. She also put her hear to his chest to listen at his breathing. "This is a magically induced illness, isn't it?" She finally asked. Mared ried to replied, but only wheezings came from him and he resigned himself to simply nod. She got out a strange case with a key. She placed it above him chest and it just floated here. She then turned the key, and the illness was just... absorbed, seeped out of his body. He could breath without pain! He sighed deeply. "Thank you, Dian. I'm owing you ten thousand times now." "That was nothing. Did you catch the traitor?" She asked, a hainous glint in her eyes giving her away beyond her apparently disinterested question. "He was dealt with." Mared simply said. "You have to go now. The king has noticed your absence and he is having the whole palace searched for you now." Dian smiled. "Exodia forgives me..." Mared groaned as he walked down toward the Throne Room.

It wasn't easy everyday being an undercover agent. Mared of Dryd'n had been hunting down his prey for 2 days now. Soon his absence from the court would be noticed and questions would arise. He had to find Hepadee this night. He walked sideway into the alley, trying to stay as far away from the carriage-entrances as possible. He unsheated his weapon, the blade gliding in the moonlight, and swept randomly. "Come through for me, Libra." He whispered to the magic weapon. A shadow behind him started building toward volume, and raised from the wall, revealing the [URL=http://www.cardhaus.com/images/305-014.jpg]Hell Pawn Demon[/URL]. The fiend smirked and took a step forward, sand crunching faintly under his foot. Mared's trained ear didn't missinterpreted and he dodged rolling aside as the dark soldier's left hand dug into the ground. "You're finished annoying me, cockroack!" He spat. "I will be the one crushing you, demon!" Mared retorted. Hepadee got it hand out of the ground, tossing dirt in Mared's face in the process. Mared groaned and tried to spin out of the way, but he was painfully slammed into the wall. He twisted himself enough to avoid a deadly stab and kneed his opponent in a most private place. Has he bend over in pain, he slapped him with the side of his sword. His opponent spun and felt to the ground. As Hepadee tried to move his hands to counterattack, Mared Put his feet on them. "You're going down now! Guardian Toraisu! I, Mared of Dryd'n, call upon your powers! Come to me, thunder!" Mared struck his sword into the air as a bright blue lightning fell on it. He slowly turned the sword down and stapped the fiend in the middle of his chest. He just smirked evilly. "I am not dealt with so easily! Black Dust Virus!" He opened his mouth and black smoke erupted from it, that Mared couldn't help but inhale. He then yelled horrendously and exploded.

Something that shoots your head off. Asimov wrote a nice time travel titled "White!". I suggest people to read it.

more specifically, flip-effect are activated after the dammage step.

The highest we saw them, they were 28 000, his weakness is that his strenght is limited to the number of cards in the deck. As Tea and Granpma meet with Mokuba during the Yugi vs Arkana duel, there is a duel going on in the background. Name the two monsters involved.

A sword, I think.

You can't use Shift on Fissure (or Trap Hole) because the player doesn't chose the target, the card does. But you can redirect an attack (or a non-magic card's effect) on TLF even if umi is in play.

My turn! S'Been awfully long me too ever since I changed my wallpaper. (How grammatically wrong was that??)

Dispatch - The General A friend of mine had me listening at the song and now I'm totally addicted to it. There was a decorated General with a heart of gold That likened him to all the stories he told, Of past battles won and lost And legends of old A seasoned veteran in his own time On the battlefield he gained respectful fame With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face And always urged his men on But on the eve of great battle with the infantry in dream The Old General tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning He awoke from the night to tell what he had seen And walked slowly out of his tent All the men held tall with their chests in the air With courage in their blood and a fire in their stare It was a gray morning and they were all wondering how they would fare Till the old general told them to go home He said: I have seen the others And I have discovered That this fight is not worth fighting And I have seen their mothers And I will no other, to follow me where I'm going So Take a shower, shine your shoes You got no time to lose You are young men, you must be living so Take a shower, shine your shoes You got no time to lose You are young men, you must be living Go now you are forgiven But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders The General said he would do his own duty but he would extend it no further The men can go as they please Not a man moved their eyes gazed straight ahead, Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said And the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head He then prepared to fight He said: I have seen the others And I have discovered That this fight is not worth fighting No, and I see their mothers and I will no other to follow me where I'm going So Take a shower shine your shoes You got no time to lose You are young men you must be living So Take a shower shine your shoes You got no time to lose You are young men you must be living Go now you are forgiven.

Two shadows suddenly landed behind Hermes, startling Kai. "We challenge you, Mythic duelist!" The first announced. "We already put you on our elimination list!" an identical men continued. "And you shall duel us two..." "Or we will just cream you!" "A partner you are in dire need of!" "For you can't resist our wrath as eliminators!" And they launched in some acrobatic display. Hermes looked at these annoying guys angrily. "I may not have a partner in dueling, but I still can take you both on!" "Ah! You fool!" they chorused. Kai suddenly stepped next to Hermes. "I will partner him." Hermes looked in surprise, then smiled. "Thank you, Kai." "It's nothing." He then whispered in his ear. "Watch out for these guys, they are really dangerous, and they use the Gate Guardian!" Hermes' eyes widened. [i]The Gate Guardian?[/i] It happened so that the turns would go Kai - Para - Hermes - Dox. "Since your friend only has 7 cards, he shall set a minimal!" the brothers indicated. "So it will be," Kai glared at them. [i]Be carefull, Kai, it'd be a shame if you were already eliminated...[/i] "As my first move, I summon Tornado Bird in defense mode! I also play a card face-down." A large and brightly colored bird appeared on Kai's part of the dueling field. (1100/1000) It shielded itself with it's wings as his defense position. "[url=http://www.cardhaus.com/images/305-018.jpg]Inferno Queen Demon[/url]! in defense mode!" Was Para's move. The monster drapped itself in it's cape. (900/1500) "And a face-down card!" "I summon the [url=http://www.cardhaus.com/images/305-014.jpg]Red Cyclop[/url], in attack mode!" Hermes announced. "And to close this first round, [url=http://www.cardhaus.com/images/305-014.jpg]Hell Pawn Demon[/url], in attack mode! as well as two face-down cards!" The fiend struck a fighting pose. (1200/200) "As my turn comes, I switch my Tornado Bird into attack mode! This immediately returns 2 face-down cards into their owners' hands, namely both of yours!" He pointed to Dox, who snatched them back scowling. "I also sacrifice him to summon [url=http://www.cardhaus.com/images/Bc-60.jpg]Sky Dragon[/url], in attack mode!" The violet dragon landed after a spiral dive. (1900/1800) "Now, destroy the Pawn Demon with your Rain of Flammes!" Kai ordered. Unfortunately, the Pawn Demon easily withstood the attack (1200/200)->(2200/200). "How can that be?" Hermes wondered. "Let me explain." Para interrupted. "During a standby phase, I can chose any 'Demon' monster on the field and increase it's attack by 1000." Kai looked blankly (4000->3700), but managed to set a card face-down. "Now, for my turn, I will simply summon the [url=http://www.cardhaus.com/images/Sc-09.jpg]Dark Bishop Demon[/url], in attack mode." (300/1400) [i]What are these two up to?[/i] "First, I lay a card face-down, then I summon the [url=http://www.cardhaus.com/images/Sc-08.jpg]Two-Headed Cerberus[/url]. Attack mode!" (1500/1000) Hermes smirked. "Even if your Queen Demon boost it, your Bishop is too weak to survive my attacks. Two-Headed Cerberus, Nightmare Flammes!" The monster met with a surprise: The Pawn Demon jumped in the way of the attack and sliced both heads off. (4000->3300) "It's a bit more complex than that," Dox chuckled. "While my Hell Pawn Demon is on the field, he is the only demon you can attack." "Then I switch my monster into defense mode." "It won't help you! Watch as I summon Thunder Dragon." The green serpentine dragon crawled up and eyed Kai's empty field. (1600/1500) "Attack his life points with Swift Lightning!" Thunder Dragon fired several lightning bolts at Kai. "Activate Attack-Scattering Prism!" A vertical crystal pillar absorbed the attack through a side and the lightning dispersed through the two other sides. "Now I summon Blue-Winged Crown, in attack mode! I also play Rising Air Currents!." The blue bird with a red tuft screeched. (1600/1300)->(2000/900) "I lay a card face-down and I destroy your Hell Pawn Demon!" (4000->3200) "Now, this has been going for long enough! I sacrifice both of my monsters to summon Suijin! Destroy his defense monster, Tidal Surge!" (2500/2400) The massive tidal wave washed over Hermes' monster. "I can only play this: Nymph of the Salmacis Fountain, in defense mode." A pool with a watery woman appeared. (300/1000) [i]So you wanna play Gate Guardian, I'll show you a guardian...[/i]

Oh... I like that! :naughty:

I have no idea what is Mabc, but I suggest Imperial Control (normally an imperial order for trap card) as an hability to know what are the other caracter's hability an Collected Power as a (very) temporary concentration of all nearby magic powers in one powerfull blast.
