Dr. D belongs to my dear friend Lonely Ghost666. To see his writing skills in full effect, please read the story Dueling Unlimited on this site.

Just a short chapter here, nothing much besides some insight into the Servants


Ender sighed as he looked out at the beach. The soothing ebb and flow of the ocean made him want to stab himself with a knife. The soft sand under his bare feet was barely enough to make him calm down. "So, Dr. D," he said to the man at his side. "Is the duel spirit here really all that powerful?"

"Perhaps," said the man. "The locals seem to think so."

Dr. D had explored this world a day before bringing Ender here with him. He discovered legends of a powerful monster hiding within the ocean. The citizens of the nearby town claimed the people had gone swimming in the ocean and never returned.

Ender tried not to shudder at his comrade's appearance. No matter how you looked at him, Dr. D looked frighteningly creepy. He had pale skin and uncombed grey hair. He wore a buttoned double breasted white lab coat with a tail that fell to mid-shin and brown pants that tucked into black armor like boots. His entire outfit screamed mad scientist, but worst of all were those scary shiny glasses.

"My new Spirit Finder program should be able to find powerful spirits when they grow more active, but it is still in the testing stages." Dr. D said as he flipped through his manga. "It has lead us to this world, but we can't be too certain that the spirit here is as powerful as we hope. We can only wait and see."

"So, then, who gets to duel the spirit?" Ender asked. He hadn't had any exciting duels lately, so if the spirit was really as powerful as Dr. D's program claimed, he wanted to be the one to combat it.

"Naturally, that would be me," Dr. D stated as he pointed to himself. "As it was my program that lead us here, i should be the one who faces the untold danger."

"Danger, right," Ender placed his hands on his head as he spoke. He hadn't ever met a Duel Spirit with any talent at all, he doubted that this would be the first. 'I'd rather be back in the main world screwing with Naota.'

The Servants of the Octogram, all originated from a single world, the world they dubbed the Main World. It was special to them, separate from the others because it was their original home. Despite this, they lived in another world dubbed 'The World That Never Was,' because someone played too much Kingdom Hearts. There were countless worlds in existence, but Ender hadn't found any interesting ones yet. he was constantly bored, bored, bored, BORED!

"Now to lure the monster out," Dr. D retrieved a small capsule from his pocket. It was tiny and blue and inscribed with the letters SL. He tossed it into the ocean and watched it dissolve. The water glowed and bubbled, it hissed like snake. Ender watched with feigned interest as a crimson light poured outward from the point of origin. "My capsule was designed to attract Duel Monster Spirits. It releases a lure that they can't resist. The most potent of these capsules can attract every spirit within a 5 kilometer radius. The one I'm using isn't nearly as strong, but it should do the trick." He sighed. "Sadly this monster hides in the ocean. I do enjoy observing these creatures in their natural habitat."

As Dr. D had stated, a Duel Monster spirit quickly appeared. The ocean parted with a fierce roar, revealing a glowing being. It had a black head and four reptilian legs. A large tail swerved back and forth as it walked toward the duo. Its arms held a large scythe. Silver armor covered its body. Ender did not want to get on its bad side. "Who dares disturb my slumber?" He demanded.

"Oh, people still say such things?" Ender asked.

Dr. D stepped forward and activated his Duel Disk. "My name is Dr. D. I am a scientist serving the Octogram. I am afraid I am going to have to ask you to come with us. If necessary, i will destroy you in a duel first."

The monster laughed as he dropped his scythe. "You amuse me little one." A black Duel Disk appeared on his left arm. "Very well, I shall crush you. But once I am done, you will have to face the penalty for trespassing on my domain."

Dr. D 4000

Duel Spirit 4000

Dr. D drew six cards. "I set three cards and end my turn." He explained as three face down cards materialized.

Ender smirked. 'His deck focuses entirely around a single monster. If he doesn't draw it soon, he's screwed.'

The Duel Spirit drew. "I activate the Field Spell Nowhere!" He laughed as the beach around them faded away into nothingness. "Now whenever one of our monsters is destroyed, it gets removed from play and we have to discard a card from our hand as a result."

"Nowhere, huh?" Ender smiled. "Isn't that the name of the Velonica Field Spell?"

"Indeed it is," Dr. D answered. "It isn't that uncommon for different cards in different worlds to have the same name. Sometimes two cards even have the same name in the same world. After all, just look at Gremlin."

The Duel Spirit selected a monster card and threw it on his Duel Disk. "I summon Sinister Merknight!" (1700/2200) A large monster appeared on the field, towering over Dr. D with its long serpentine body. Blue scales covered its arms and long fish like tail. Blue hair fell down its back. Each of his four hands carried a blood stained sword.

"An extremely high defense with a great attack like that. It must have some downside," Dr. D surmised. "Then again, each world we visit has its own rules to abide by, so who knows what this world is like?" He mentally crossed his fingers, hoping for something interesting to happen.

"While he is on the field I can not control any other monsters. In addition he loses 300 attack and defense for every monster in my graveyard," the Duel Spirit explained.

"This should be fun," Dr. D stated. "But, let's hurry up. The sooner I beat you, the sooner I can feed you to the Octogram." He chuckled wickedly.

"Go, Merknight, attack him directly!" The Duel Spirit's monster slithered forward on its tail, swiping at Dr. D's body.

Duels against spirits, especially those as wicked as this one, were usually a bit riskier than normal duels. The pain inflicted would typically surpass that of solid vision. Dr. D didn't care. the monster's four blades struck his body, skewering him from various angles. He didn't even flinch.

Dr. D: 2300

"Now I activate Nihilistic Gravitation. When I'm attacked directly this continuous trap allows me to take a monster with 0 attack and add it to my hand. So I'm choosing Tyrant God, Nihil." A card popped out of his deck and added itself to his hand. "Next I use the trap card, Rebirth Tactics. When I receive a direct attack I can regain Life Points equal to 500 x the number of cards on the field!"

Dr. D: 3800

Ender his his amazement well. 'he just got his trump card in his hand and he lost only 200 Life Points!'

Dr. D drew a card. "I send the top half of my deck to the graveyard to Special Summon Tyrant God-Nihil in defense mode!" (0/0) A black orb appeared on the field. It was the size of a human torso and seemed to be swirling inside. "He has no attack or effect at the moment, but it won't stay that way for long. I activate my face down Card Destruction, so we both exchange the cards in our hand for new ones from our deck." He slipped his three cards away and drew three new ones.

Ender's confidence faded. 'He has thirteen cards left and his monster will only have 1500 attack at the most.'

"The first card I discarded was Nihilistic Component - Pugno Panton. Now I can select my tyrant God-Nihil and increase his attack and defense by 500 as well as give him an effect. Now, as long as he is out, neither player can lose by decking out!" (500/500) A large torso appeared around the orb, giving it a bit of strength. This was the power of Dr. D's deck, it would slowly power up his God until it was literally unstoppable. With the right combination of Component's it would become completely indestructible, and plow right through any enemy. "Next, Nihilistic Component - Prodigium Desino! It gains a further 500 attack and defense and immunity from monster effects." A black pack appeared on its back. Turbines of all sorts were sticking out of it. A white gem rested at its center. "And lastly, Nihilistic Component - Immortalis Famulus! This raises my monster's attack and defense to 1500 and makes it immune to destruction by battle." (1500/1500) Six levitating black orbs began circling around the creature. Each one had a white ring on its body along with a cybernetic eye. "I'll set one more card and end my turn."

The Duel Spirit laughed. "Your monster is pathetic and weak. I'll show you true strength. I summon The Tuner Monster Deep Sea Siren!" (1400/1000) A beautiful blonde woman with no clothing emerged from behind the Duel Spirit. "Now I'll tune my level 3 tuner to my level 4 monster." The siren burst into a ring of lights and surrounded Merknight. "Rise from the depths of the sea, my Level 7 Loch Ness Dragon!"(2700/2500) A large serpentine demon with blue skin and a large wingspan emerged from the darkness.

Ender was almost disappointed by the lack of an extravagant chant. "I'll use his effect. Once per turn I can Special Summon one Water Monster from my deck until the end phase. Then it is sent to the graveyard. So I bring out, Aqua Launcher!" (2000/1000) A robotic canon appeared on the field and pointed itself at Dr. D. "Instead of attacking, I can remove one water monster from my graveyard and he'll inflict damage to you equal to his attack."

"Odd that you'd include a card like Nowhere in your deck if this guy can reduce an opponent to 0 Life Points in two blows. but I assume you have your reasons." Dr. D smiled as a jet blast of water struck him, reducing him to lesss than half his Life Points.

Dr. D: 1800

"Next I activate Double Summon to bring myself to the field by getting rid of both monsters! Come on out, The Tyrant Neptune!" His two monsters vanished as he stepped forward. the Duel Spirit picked up his discarded sycthe. "My stats are equal to the monsters used to summon me." (4700/3500) he let out a loud laugh that shook the earth. "Then, I can select one of the sacrifices, and I gain its effect. In addition, my name will be treated as that monsters! So I pick Aqua Launcher. Neptune's scythe gained a canon like attachment that shot a blast of water at Dr. D. "By removing one water monster from the grave, I can inflict 5700 damage to you."

Dr. D laughed as he activated his face down card. "You are indeed powerful, but not cautious enough. I activate the Barrel Behind the door, reflecting all damage back to you!"

The stream of water reversed itself, striking the large reptillian Duel Spirit in the chest.

Aqua Canon: -1700

The beach faded back into existence. The Tyrant Neptune had vanished, leaving behind only his card. Dr. D sighed as he picked it up. "He seemed focused on removing monsters from play. it's a pity he didn't last long enough to reveal why."

Ender sighed. "It looks like we were disappointed again. Perhaps the next world will contain some form of entertainment." Ender rubbed his temple. It was usually this way. The servants were all very powerful. Their decks were prepared to counter most problems they could possibly encounter, their cards were all incredibly strong, and their luck always came through for them.

Dr. D smiled. "Atleast I have discovered a card I like," he said out loud. He held his hand into the air and began gathering darkness into the form of a card.

Ender snatched it away. "You're spending all that DP on Nowhere? It didn't even do anything in your duel."

"True, but it fits my theme," Dr. D explained. "Though with as much DP as that card took to make it looks like I'll be DP farming again soon enough." His smile vanished.

DP, short for Dark Points, was a special kind of energy that the servants could gather after their duels. They could use them for various purposes, such as casting powerful spells or creating cards from thin air. The stronger the spell or card, the more DP it took.

All in all, nothing special happened that day. It was a mission just like any other.
