Light of Hope (Lightning vs Don Thousand)

**Lightning's castle:**

Lightning was inside his castle awaiting his opponent.

"Soon my opponent will arrive, and I’ll defeat them with all the power I got." Lightning says.

"Here I am, ready to take you down!" A voice shouts.

Lightning turns and sees Don Thousand.

"Who are you?" Lightning asks.

"I’m Don Thousand, I’m the malevolent deity." Don Thousand introduced himself.

"You sound like you’re all high and mighty." Lightning says.

"That’s because I am, once I defeat you, I’ll be the greatest villain ever!" Don Thousand laughs evilly.

"Defeating me won’t be easy, plus my fiancée would count on me to win." Lightning says.

"Fiancée?" Don Thousand asks.

"Yes, Queen, even though she’s no longer in this realm, she and I are dating, she and I had a similar goal, even though we don't have that goal anymore, some people say we’re meant for each other." Lightning says.

"Then I'll be sure she’ll be in misery once she hears her fiancé was destroyed by yours truly." Don Thousand says.

"You won’t have that pleasure, even though I’m already dead, my fiancée believes I’m still alive." Lightning says.

"Then I’ll be disappointing your fiancée and ending your life once and for all!" Don Thousand shouts.

"Then you’re no better than what the Hanoi used to do to us." Lightning says.

"I’m way worse than what you experienced in your time." Don Thousand says.

"I’ve handled worse situations, so you’re nothing to me." Lightning says.

"So you think I’m nothing? You don’t know how wrong you are!" Don Thousand shouts as he activates his duel disk.

"No I’ll prove to you how right I am." Lightning says as he activates his duel disk.

All Action Cards are dispersed.

"LETS DUEL!!!" They both shouted

"I know your move Don Thousand so it's obvious you want me to go first!" Lightning said thinking that was Don thousand's plan

"Maybe or maybe not!" Don Thousand smirks as Lightining said

"Make your move then!" Lightning said to the deity

"To bad without the numeron code you can't control the duel your way!" Lightning said

"Bah I don't need the Numeron code to win, I'll win this my way! observe as I overlay my three Despairs from the Darks!" Don Thousand said as his monsters became sprials to build and Xyz monster.

"I’m up, I activate the Field Spell: Armatos Coliseum." Lightning says as a coliseum appears, as they’re both inside it.

"Is this a duel or a fight with gladiators?" Don Thousand asked.

"I assure you, this is part of my plan." Lightning says.

"Let's see what else you got." Don Thousand says.

"As you wish! I summon Armatos Legio Romanis!" Lightning shouts as he summons a Level 4 monster with 2100 Attack Points and 1800 Defense Points.

"Now I activate its special ability, I can summon another copy onto the field." Lightning says as another 1 appears on the field.

"Since I have another, I activate its ability, and summon a 3rd copy." Lightning says as he summons 3 copies.
