INTO THE TRIBULATION

New Babylon, the Capitol of the Global Community where the Supreme Potentate Joseph Strongheim reigns.
Speaking of the villainous leader, we seem to have arrived just as he is about to give a speech to the world. Normaly, I don't particularly like listening to guys like this, but lets listen as to what he has to say.
"My brothers and sisters in the Global Community," Strongheim says to the crowd in his Russian accent. "We have been through tough times in these past couple of years since the founding of our One world government. But we will persevere, even in the face of war, our one world government has remained in power."
There he goes again, fooling the masses into thinking he's the good guy.
Oh, and there's that Marie Huebner kid, youngest member of Strongheim's cabinent, only 17 you know. I can tell that she hates this job of her's, but she does it for a good cause, the cause of God.
Looks like Strongheim wants her to speak, so lets hear what she has to say.
"Thank you your excelency," Marie says through gritted teeth as she takes the podium. "Most of you know me already, you've probably heard of me before the disaperances as the X-Men Rebel, but I'm more than that. I may be a mutant, but I'm a human being as well, and all over the world people like me are being treated wrongly by the organizations Purity and the Friends of Humanity. Is this what the Global Community is coming to? I thought that Strongheim was supposed to be ending stuff like that!"
That's Marie for you, she works for the cause of God, but she uses that position she has to fight for the rights of her own species. Not that its a bad thing, but she does have a lot of issues with Strongheim, at least she's doing some good in this world.
More talking from Strongheim, some stuff from his Supreme Comander Silas Victarias, do these guys have anything better to do than lie to the whole world?
Apparently not, but that's not really the point.
But something's about to happen that will affect us alll.
What is it? Well, you'll just have to find out.
And who am I? Well, you might say Dartz wasn't the only one to have seen what happened in Atlantis 10,000 years ago, and still live to this day.
You'll know me later...
But for now, lets get this started.

"Victory goes to the player who
Makes the next-to last mistake."
-Chessmaster Savielly Grigorievitch Tartakower.
Well, its been almost two months since I won the Duelist Dimension tournament.
Me and my friends have been dueling, but our lives have gone just about the same as usual, nothing sinister has happened since I defeated Doppler at the end of the tournament.
I'm now the Queen of Games, so I get a lot of duelists coming around to try and challenge me to take my title, but I've not lost once.
I see Ariel and Marie every so often, usualy Marie on the news, but Ariel comes over once or twice a week, when she can get away from her job at Kaiba Corp.
Maybe things are starting to return to normal, at least I hope thats the case...
But to be honest, I don't really know if thats true, or if this is just the calm before the storm.

CHAPTER 1:
DARK BEGINNINGS
0000000000
00000
Nearly two months after the Duelist Dimension tournament ended, Katie, Renee, Darren, and Wendy find themselves in an airport. They had recently recieved invitations for the Duel Monsters Convention in Chicago, and where waiting for the announcement to start boarding.
"Well, we have an hour to kill until the departure time, what do you think we should do?" Renee asks, yawning boredly as she shuffles her deck.
"Well, there's got to be other duelists here for the convention, maybe we could find..." Katie starts, before getting interrupted.
"Ahem," a voice from behind her says, and Katie turns, standing a few feet behind her is a chinese woman with long black hair that is tied into two pigtails, and wearing a yellow dress, on her arm was a dark blue-ish green duel disk with strange markings.
Katie did recognize her, she was Vivian Wong, a competitor in the first KC Grand Prix, that had been 30 years before, and time hadn't been kind, since she was a little wrinked in some places.
"Katie Motou, huh? The daughter of the famous Yugi Motou, and the reigning Queen of Games, what do you say to a duel?" Vivian asks. "If you don't know, the name's Vivian Wong."
"Yeah, I know who you are," Katie says, and activates her duel disk, and her life points set at 8000 (the rules had upped the number from 4000 after the Duelist Dimension tournament ended). "So, lets duel!"
"Game on," Vivian says, activating her strange duel disk, that opens up, and then forms into a scythe-like card tray.
Katie's puzzle glows, and Yami takes over. "All right, lets duel," she says.
That duel disk... Renee thinks, lowering her sunglasses a little to get a better look. It can't be, thats the same duel disks that my father used when he worked for Dartz, this does not bode well...
"I'll make the first move!" Vivian says, and draws, then laughs. "And now, I'll play a card who's magic is as old as time itself, and your fate will now be sealed as I activate, The Seal of Orichalcos!" She shouts, and though they are inside, a fierce wind begins to blow around them, as a green pentagram symbol appears on the celing, then lowers down, and forms around them, as the same symbol appears on Vivian's head, and she laughs evily, while surrounded by dark fire.
"No..." Renee says, grabing her forehead. "Not this, not now..."
00000
Some miles away, leaving a room in a mansion just outside of Bayville New York, Marie Huebner cringes as she feels a splitting pain in her head.
No, it can't be back, its impossible... she thinks, and grips the Millenium Locket, getting a vision. Its true, the Orichalcos is back, and is being used as we speak, whoever you are, may the forces of good shine down on you.
00000
"Renee, are you all right?" Wendy asks, seeing that Renee is tensed up.
"That card..." Renee shudders. "The Seal of Orichalcos shouldn't exist anymore, it was defeated, 30 years ago..."
"Yes, that is true," Vivian says, her voice now much eviler. "But such a power could not be restrained forever, and my master now seeks to use the Orichalcos to serve another great power, but you'll learn about that later. I summon, my Kung Fu Nyan Nyan (1700/1000), in attack mode!" She says, and a warrior with long pink hair appears, and the seal brands into her forehead, raising her attack points to 2200, and causing her eyes to glow red. "As you can see, the Seal of Orichalcos raises the attack of all my monsters by 500, and it also turns them into dark monsters, and I'll place this card face down to end my turn."
"Uhh, Renee, what exactly is this thing?" Wendy asks.
"You're kidding right? You don't know what the Seal of Orichalcos is?" Renee asks, and Wendy shakes her head. "Well, 30 years ago, both of your parents, plus Katie's parents, and Ariel's father, and my father, where right in the middle of the first Orichalcos War."
00000
On a balcony overlooking the duel, three (two men, and one woman) people are watching the duel proceed.
The first man is muscular with a red mohawk, and wearing a black leather trench coat, with a grey muscle shirt and black pants, and has multiple piercings, while wearing a studded collar.
The woman was skinny, but not anorexic skinny, with light blue hair that hung over one eye, and wore a black skintight top and wearing shorts that where as tight as the top.
The second man, and obviously the leader, has a blonde mullet, while wearing a black fedorah, and a black muscle shirt and blue jeans, with a black leather jacket, with a pentagram painted in white on the back, and was observing the duel behind a pair of sunglasses, and sporting a goatee.
They where Kennith, Kari, and Damien, the three Swordsmen of the Orichalcos.
"Heh, that Renee girl looks like she's going to have a heart attack," Kennith, the swordsman with the mohawk says in a New York accent. "The boss wasn't kidding when he said that the return of the seal would weigh heavily on the minds of those who's family used the Orichalcos."
"Then why didn't Wheeler be effected? Her mother used to work for Dartz..." Kari asks.
"I'm not sure myself," Damien admits. "Possibly, its because her father also opposed the Orichalcos. However, if things go according to plan, as the power of the Orichalcos grows, perhaps Renee and that Huebner girl might be more, open to the boss' influence.
"Besides, Dartz wants this war to be out in the open, as opposed to what happened last time. It seems that Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey have been keeping the Orichalcos a secret for 30 years, even from their own children. But it seems that Rafael has shown no such restraint."
The other two nods, and turns back to watch the duel.
00000
A few miles away from the airport is the Kaiba Corperation building. Well, it was at the moment in the process of being cleared out, since the headquarters where being moved to another location.
Overseeing the work is Ariel Kaiba, Seto Kaiba's daughter, and the CEO of the Kaiba Corperation. At the moment, she is watching as workers are packing away the contents of her office into boxes, when her cell phone rings, and she answers.
"Ariel Kaiba here," She says.
"Ariel, you asked me to let you know if there was anything strange going on with the duel disks," Kisara's voice on the other end says.
"Yeah, what do you got?" Ariel asks.
"Well, we've got a large number of duelists playing a specific card in the viscinity of Chicago," Kisara answers. "Normaly this would be deemed a coincidence, but the same exact card showed up in Dommino Airport, in a duel between Katie Motou and a woman named Vivian Wong."
"What card?" Ariel asks.
"Its called the Seal of Orichalcos, I've run it by every database available to us, and there is no record of its existance," Kisara says. "Though I have heard things about this card before. I've heard that its a very dangerous card, and that your father dueled against someone using it on a couple of occasions, do you know anything about that?"
"No, I'm sorry but I don't," Ariel says. "Thanks for the information, Kisara."
"No problem, I'll let you know if anything happens," Kisara says, and hangs up.
Dad, we're gonna have a long talk later, Ariel thinks, before turning to her secretary. "Have all my meetings canceled until further notice, I'm not going to Petra yet, I need to make a stop, in Chicago."
00000
Katie draws a card. "All right, I don't know how you got a card that broken, but it ends now, I play Heavy Storm!" She shouts, and a storm blows up, and the face down card Mirror Force is blown away, but the seal still stands firm. "What? How did the seal survive?"
"Its simple, the Seal of Orichalcos cannot be destroyed, except by certain cards, and I doubt that you have one of those cards in your deck, so continue with your turn," Vivian says.
Katie looks over her hand. Okay, that was a bust, she thinks. "I'll just set one monster in defense mode, and place this card face down to end my turn."
Vivian draws. "Since my Kung Fu Nyan Nyan didn't participate in a battle last turn, she gains 300 attack points," she says, and the warrior's attack rises to 2500. "And I'll now summon this monster, my Master Kyonshee (1750/1000 + 500), in attack mode!" She says, and a martial artist wearing purple, with a cloth covering his face appears. "Now Kung Fu Nyan Nyan, destroy her face down monster!"
The martial artist does a flying kick, and destroys a face down Skelengel.
"Thanks, that was my Skelengel, so I can draw a card," Katie says, and draws a card.
"Master Kyonoshee, attack her directly!" Vivian commands, and the zombie martial artist kicks Katie in the stomach, lowering her life points to 5750. "Your move, runt."
A crowd had started to gather, getting as close as they could because of the seal, most because they recognized Katie from the reports of the Duelist Dimension tournament, others where just curious.
Come on Katie, we've got to get on the plane in 45 minutes, Wendy thinks.
Katie draws. Okay, this isn't good, she's got me down this far, and I'm facing down two monsters, I've got to be careful, she thinks, and picks a card. "I'll set this monster in defense mode, and place this card face down to end my turn."
Vivian draws. "All right, Master Kyonoshee, attack her face down monster!" Vivian commands, and the zombie martial artist goes in for an attack.
"Go trap card, Mirror Force!" Katie counters, and a barrier suddenly appears, and throws the zombie back, and he shatters, as well as Kung Fu Nyan Nyan.
"All right, that was annoying, I'll set this card face down, and end my turn," Vivian says.
Katie draws. "I play, Pot of Greed!" She says, and draws two cards. "And I'll sacrifice my face down monster to summon my Dark Magician Girl!" She continues, and the female magician. "Now attack her directly, Dark Burning attack!" Katie commands, and the magician lets loose a burst of hearts, and Vivian's life points fall to 6000. "All right, its your move now."
Vivian draws quickly. This runt is starting to get on my nerves, she thinks, and looks at the card with a smirk. "I play the spell card Ki Spirits!"
If the Orichalcos is back, could that mean that there are three swordsmen here too? Renee thinks, and starts looking around the area for anything.
"Great, she's on to us," Kari mutters, looking at Renee.
"Now, I can special summon from my graveyard, both Kung Fu Nyan Nyan and Master Kyonoshee!" Vivian says, and the two monsters appears. "The only downside is that I cannot attack with them, and they cannot protect me from a direct attack."
"Vivian, you better not lose, don't forget, the boss won't spare you from the seal," Kennith says.
"Yeah, yeah, don't have a cow," Vivian says, rolling her eyes.
"Who are you guys?" Katie demands, now noticing the 3 duelists on the balcony above them.
"We're known as the 3 Swordsmen of the Orichalcos," Damien says. "We're three of the best duelists that work for the lord of the Orichalcos."
"And, who would that be?" Wendy asks.
"You'll find out, if your friend can can win," Kari says with a chuckle.
"We might as well introduce ourselves, the name's Kennith, and my associates here are Kari and Damien," Kennith says.
"Well, if you three are done, I'll continue now with the spell card, Luminous Clouds! By sacrificing my Master Kyonoshee and Kung Fu Nyan Nyan..." She says, and the two monsters vanish. "And I can summon this monster, my Dragon Lady (2500/2100 + 500), in attack mode!" She says, and a woman in armor with a headress appears, carrying two swords. "Now, attack her Dark Magician Girl, Double Dragon Sword attack!" She commands, and the female warrior charges forward, slashing madly at the lady spellcaster, lowering Katie's life points to 4750. "Your move, runt."
I'm really glad that they raised the life points to 8000, otherwise I'd be screwed right now, Katie thinks, and draws, glancing at the card. Its the card Marie sent me for my birthday last month, maybe this will work, she continues, and glances at the rest of her hand. "I'll place one card face down, and activate my Gracefull Charity spell card!" She says, and draws three cards, then discards two. "And I'll set one monster in defense mode to end my turn."
Vivian draws swiftly. "I summon my Double Pinaska (1500/1500 + 500), in attack mode!" She says, and a spaniard carrying two swords appears.
"Hold on, I've got a trap card, Dark Renewal!" Katie counters, and a maroon coffin with a pentagram symbol on it appears. "Since you summoned a monster, I can sacrifice your monster, and my monster, to revive one spellcaster from our graveyards!" She says, and Pinaska vanishes, and then followed by Katie's face down monster. "And I'll choose, Shadow Necromancer (1000/2500)!" She says, and a man in the clothes of a witch doctor appears, carrying a wooden staff.
"For all that fuss, you summoned a monster with only 1000 attack points," Vivian says, laughing a little. "Now Dragon Lady, attack her Necromancer, Double Dragon Sword attack!" Vivian commands, and the female warrior charges forward again.
"Hold on, because of the effect of my Necromancer, I can discard a card from my hand, and revive my Dark Magician Girl!" She says, and discards a card swiftly, and the female spellcaster re-appears. "And then she becomes your target, and gains attack points equal to half your monster's attack!"
"What? No!" Vivian says in shock, as the spellcaster's attack rises to 3500, then blasts away the dragon lady, lowering Vivian's life points to 5500.
"The only disadvantage is that my monster is destroyed now, and I lose life points equal to the number she gained..." Katie says, and Dark Magician Girl shatters, lowering Katie's life points to 3250.
"Fine, I'll place two cards face down, and end my turn," Vivian says.
Katie draws. "I'll switch my Necromancer to defense mode, and summon Skilled Dark Magician (1900/1700), in attack mode!" She says, and the lesser Dark Magician appears. "Now, attack her directly!" Katie commands, and the magician blasts at Vivian, lowering her life points to 3600.
"Go trap card, Damage Condinser, I'll discard one card..." she says, and tosses a card. "And now I can special summon my Gaku Gyre Panda (800/1200 + 500)!" She says, and a panda appears. "And he gains 500 attack points for every monster on your field," she continues, and the panda's attack points rise to 2300. "And to raise them further, I activate my Ojama Trio trap card!" She continues, and three weird little monsters appears on Katie's field (0/1000), and the panda's attack rises to 3800. "Is that all for you?"
"Fine, your move," Katie says.
Vivian cackles, and draws. "Panda, destroy one of her Ojama Tokens, Bamboo Smash Attack!" She commands, and the panda charges forward, smashing through the monster, and lowering Katie's life points first to 650, then to 350.
"The old lady ain't doing too badly, which is too bad, I wanted to have a crack at Motou myself," Kennith says with a yawn.
"I wouldnt count Katie out just yet, if Vivian could beat her, Doppler would've handed her intestines to her," Damien points out. "This duel is far from over, and if Katie is really the chosen one, she'll find a way out of this."
Katie closes her eyes. It can't end here, I've beaten better duelists than this woman, I can win this time, I just have to believe in myself, and in my deck, she thinks, and slowly draws, as the card gives a slight glow, when she looks at it, she grins. "First, I'll play Monster Reborn, to revive my Dark Magician Girl!" She says, and the female magician appears again. "And I'll play the Card of Divinity known as Burning Light Shield, this equip spell card raises the attack of an equiped monster by 500 for every light monster on the field, but it also makes my Dark Magician Girl, which is what I'm equiping it to, a light monster, so she gains 1500 attack points!" She says, and the female spellcaster's attack raises accordingly. "And it also switches the attack and defense points of all other monsters, but high level monsters lose 500 defense," Katie continues, and the two tokens' attack rises to 1000, while the Necromancer's attack rises to 2000.
But the Panda's attack lowers to 1200.
"Now Necromancer, destroy her Panda, Death Magic attack!" Katie commands, and the shamman blasts away the panda with a burst of magic, lowering Vivian's life points to 4300. "Dark Magician Girl, Ojama tokens, finish her off!" Katie continues, and the three monsters strike at Vivian, lowering her life points to 0.
"NO, SPARE ME, MASTER!" Vivian shouts, and the seal begins to close around her, and then she colapses to the ground.
When the four friends look at the balcony, the 3 swordsmen are gone.
"We better get to the gate before we miss our flight," Darren says, and the four friends make their way to the gate, but Katie's getting a bad vibe from all this.
Something big was going on in Chicago, and it wasn't the confrence.
