Chapter 2

A Evil Awakens

Deep within the dark dimension called Daguerreo stood a lonely castle surrounded by Molten Behemoths and other fire monsters while flying high above was whiptail crows and inside the throne room sat King Arch the master of Darkness and sitting beside him was his queen Rydia who ruled with their magic spells and defeated all who opposed them human and duel monster alike.

"This is boring my King can't we do something different like find a way into the human realm" said Rydia to her King.

"Yes my Queen but the only problem is that we have no way there" replied Arch.

Just then a sudden jolt struck through both Arch and Rydia when they grabbed their heads and said,

"What was that?" when suddenly the pain stopped.

A few moments later, the castle began to shake violently with the dust between the stone wall fell like the sands of an hourglass. After the shaking had stopped both Arch and his queen readied their duel disks and ran out of the castle and looked at the whiptail crows being destroyed by a mirror force like barrier.

"What in the hell is that my King?" asked Rydia.

Just then the sandstone like fortress appeared and landed in the Molten Lava created by the Lava Golem who protected the King and Queen. When the fortress had landed a large stone bridge magically appeared when a figure began to appear from the bright light of the fortresses gateway.

"Finally I have come to speak to you King Arch and Queen Rydia" said the figure walking towards them.

When the figure had touched the firm brimstone floor, King Arch and Queen Rydia was shocked to see none less then Whitty Phantom a human looking duel monster in a matching purple suit and hat with his long pointed ears and yellow colored tie around his neck hanging down the front of his purple shirt.

"What business do you have here Phantom?" asked Queen Rydia.

"I have come on behalf of my master who lives within the Dark Fortress" replied the cocky Phantom.

Arch was aware of Whitty Phantom, because of his tricks and lies but he looked at his Queen and said,

"Why have you come here?" asked Arch.

"My Master wants to form an alliance with you and your beautiful queen in order to take over the Human Realm" explained the Phantom.

"You have a way to the Human Realm!" said Rydia shocked.

"Yes Queen Rydia" replied the fiendish Elf with an evil glare in his eyes.

Meanwhile in the Human Realm, Matsumoto took the list and the money from her mom and grabbed her leather jacket and pulled it on over her shoulders and fastened her deck holder onto her right leg and then plugged her earphones in and walked through the front door while Matsuda was at the table going over his well used deck. Just then Matsumoto walked through the front door and turned right down the road heading towards the shop. While walking to the shops, Matsumoto was listening to her music player when she noticed a shadow behind her when she saw a tall shadowy figure behind her but the man just walked past her and continued her way to the shops.

When Matsumoto got to the shops she looked at the list that her mom had given her and got two cartons of milk, bread, eggs and cola. While walking the shelves in the store, something caught Matsumoto's eye when she walked over to what was luring her. Hanging in front of her, was a gold mask that was made from what seemed to be solid gold but when Matsumoto took the mask from the hook and held it in her hand she couldn't believe that it was so light when she stood looking at it in her hands. After looking at the mask for several minutes she looked for a price tag but the strange thing was that it didn't have one.

'Maybe this shouldn't be on sale here?' she thought.

Just then Matsumoto looked to see how the mask was fastened but none could be found anywhere. After spending few minutes with the mask in her hands she decided to try it on when she turned it around and closed her eyes while pulling it up to her face. When Matsumoto re opened her eyes and removed her hands she noticed that the mask was still on her face even without lace tied around the back of her head.

Just then Matsumoto removed the mask from her face and thought to herself,

'I just have to have this mask' she thought when she placed the mask in her basket and finished gathering the rest of the items on her moms list and went to pay for them when she approached the checkout counter.

When Matsumoto had placed her basket down and placed the items on the conveyor belt, the clerk was scanning the items before placing them into a bag. Finally Matsumoto took the mask from the basket and placed it on the conveyor belt and walked to pack the other stuff into plastic bags. Just then Matsumoto said,

"This didn't come with a price tag on it" she said.

"Don't worry, about it miss for a beautiful girl like you it's free, but we'll keep it between you and me" said the clerk.

"Ok thank you" replied Matsumoto when she took the mask and placed it along with the other items and paid for them.

After Matsumoto had paid for the groceries, she left the store happy with the gold mask she picked up for free when she took her earphones and placed them into her ears and began to walk home staying in the light of the street lights.
