Yami Yugi and Maximillion Pegasus' TV Duel

Yami Yugi and Maximillion Pegasus' TV Duel was a Duel in which Yami Yugi and Maximillion Pegasus Dueled through a videotape. Pegasus appeared on the video, claiming to be prerecorded, knowing what moves Yami Yugi would make. This is based on a Duel from the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.

Events[]

Prior[]

When the Duel Monsters champion, Seto Kaiba was defeated by Yugi Muto, KaibaCorp's reputation was damaged. Maximillion Pegasus used this as an opportunity to overthrow Seto Kaiba and take control of the company. Part of his plan involved defeating Yugi in an official Duel to restore its reputation when he got control. Pegasus planned this unofficial Duel as a means of coaxing Yugi into taking part in the Duelist Kingdom tournament, where he could face him in an official one. He set up a videotape to use as a means of communicating with Yugi and mailed it to him with equipment for Duelist Kingdom.

Yugi watched the tape along with Téa Gardner, Joey Wheeler, Solomon Muto and Tristan Taylor. Pegasus appeared on the screen and caused everyone in the room except Yugi to freeze before he accepted the Duel. Yugi then switched to Dark Yugi for the Duel.

The Duel[]

This Duel has a fifteen minute time limit. The player with higher LP at the end of the time limit will win.

Turn 1: Pegasus
Pegasus does not draw on the first turn. He Sets a card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone.

Turn 2: Yami Yugi
Yugi draws. He then tries to Normal Summon "Koumori Dragon", but Pegasus anticipates his move by activating his face-down "Dragon Capture Jar", which traps "Koumori Dragon" within it. Yugi Normal Summons "Silver Fang" (1200/800) in Attack Position.

Turn 3: Pegasus
Pegasus draws. He Normal Summons "Dragon Piper" (200/1800) in Attack Position, then activates its effect to release "Koumori Dragon" (1700/1200) from "Dragon Capture Jar" and place it onto his own side of the field in Attack Position. "Koumori Dragon" attacks and destroys "Silver Fang" (Yugi: 2000 → 1500 LP). Pegasus then Sets a card ("Sun Shower").

Turn 4: Yami Yugi
Yugi's hand contains "Beaver Warrior", "Horn Imp", "Breath of Light", "Zombie Warrior", and "Book of Secret Arts". Yugi is about to Summon "Zombie Warrior", but stops himself from doing so.

At this point, Yugi asks how Pegasus knew about Zombie Warrior and the latter reveals that he, like Yugi, has a Millennium Item as well: The Millennium Eye, which gives Pegasus the ability to read Yugi's mind. With this information, Yugi realizes with the Millennium Eye, Pegasus can see the cards in his hand.

He instead draws a card and subsequently Normal Summons it in Attack Position without looking at it. Pegasus activates his face-down "Sun Shower", thinking that Yugi would Summon "Zombie Warrior". The card is revealed to be "Dark Magician" (2500/2100), who is not affected by "Sun Shower". "Dark Magician" attacks and destroys "Koumori Dragon" (Pegasus: 2000 → 1200 LP).

Turn 5: Pegasus
Pegasus draws "Illusionist Faceless Mage" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1200/2200) in Attack Position. He then activates "Eye of Illusion" and equips it to "Illusionist Faceless Mage". "Illusionist Faceless Mage" attacks "Dark Magician". The effect of "Eye of Illusion" then activates, negating the attack and equipping itself to "Dark Magician" without Yugi knowing that.

Turn 6: Yami Yugi
Yugi draws "Celtic Guardian". During the Standby Phase, Pegasus gains control of "Dark Magician" via "Eye of Illusion" without Yugi knowing. Yugi Normal Summons "Celtic Guardian" (1400/1200) in Attack Position. "Celtic Guardian" attacks "Illusionist Faceless Mage", but the effect of "Eye of Illusion" redirects the attack to "Dark Magician". "Dark Magician" destroys "Celtic Guardian" (Yugi: 1500 → 400 LP).

Turn 7: Pegasus
Pegasus Sets a card.

Turn 8: Yami Yugi
Yugi Normal Summons "Summoned Skull" (2500/1200) in Attack Position. "Summoned Skull" attacks "Illusionist Faceless Mage", but time runs out before the attack is completed. Since Pegasus had more LP than Yami Yugi when time ran out, Pegasus wins by default.

Aftermath[]

As Penalty Game for Yugi's loss, Pegasus sucked the soul of Solomon into the TV.
