Summary: Joey went over to Gate-Battle Ox and wait for the flight boarding. Unfortunately though, he meets a dark cloaked figure named Asfana who wants to rid the world of Duel Monsters Duelists and rebuild the world again. Joey fights him in his first Shadow Game since the duel with Yami Marik in Battle City. Can Joey stop him? Who is this mysterious Mizma that Asfana keeps talking about and what connection does he have with him? Read to find out.

Joey: 7500 (1/53)

Asfana: 7900 (3/52)

"All right fool, it's my move," Asfana said as he drew his card. (4/51) He looks at his card and smiles evily. "Now I sacrifice my Vorse Raider to summon my almighty Azma 7-Dark Keeper!" (3/51) Vorse Raider turns into a ball of dark light, and then that ball of dark light became a dark spiral force. Afterwards, a new figure appeared. It was wicked demonic creature type knight with two horns on his head; one left and one right with his entire body armor being dark black. It had sharp claws and on the right hand, had a razor-sharp blade about 10 inches long and on the left hand, he wielded a armor similar to Azma,Avatar of Darkness except that his armor was pitch dark and there was dark red and black star emblem sticking on it. Its arms were all covered by a dark shadowy aura and was wearing on the bottom obviously dark razor-sharp boots. (800/1200)

Joey was perplexed. "A level 6 monster with 800 points?" Joey then says in a sly grin,"Ha! He fails in comparison to my Panther Warrior."

Asfana gives him a dark cold sly smile and says,"On the contrary my friend, I have to disagree with you because I activate his effect. When I sucessfully tribute summon him, his attack is increased equal to my tributed monster's attack points.

Joey says shocked,"Say what? It can't be!"

Asfana says in a dark wicked grin,"Oh yes, it CAN be fool. SInce I sacrificed my Vorse Raider, my Azma gains 1900 more attack points." Just then, Anma 7-Dark Keeper's attack points stats raises from 800/1200 to 2700/1200!

Asfana then puts one card in the spell and trap card zones and says,"You think that your pathetic cards will remain, but you'll wrong. I activate the spell card Wrath of Darkness!" The spell card that Asfana played showed several dark clouds in midair and dark electricity coming down from it and stunning monsters which is clearly shown as Ancient Elf and Magician's Valkria right near the palace of the Supreme King. (2/51)

Joey says perplexed,"What does that do?"

Asfana says in a dark cold sneer,"For a duelist like you, you ask way TOO many questions, so, let me dumb this down for you. For every dark monster I remove from play, I can destroy that many cards."

Joey groans as Asfana takes the three dark monsters namely Vorse Raider, Des Volstgalph, and Azma,Avatar of Darkness from his graveyard slot and put it in his left pocket of his cloak.

Asfana says evily,"Now your three Scapegoats are obliterated. SO much for your pathetic defense."

Joey watches in horror as a wave of darkness came over to his field and swallows up his last remaining Scapegoats.

"Ah, man, not my Scapegoats." Joey said disappointed.

Asfana replied in a dark cold serious tone,"You think that is disappointed to you. Well just wait, it is going to get worse," Asfana then then puts another spell in the spell and trap card zones and says,"Now I activate the spell card, Burial From The Different Dimension. This allows me to take up to three cards that were removed from play back to my graveyard." (1/51) Asfana takes the cards and puts them in the his graveyard slot.

Joey says in a serious tone,"You put those three cards in your grave again? I don't like this."

Asfana says in a dark evil grin,"For once, I must agree with you duelist. Now with three dark monsters safely in my grave, I can special summon my Dark Armed Dragon. (0/51) (2800/1000)

Joey says in shocked,"Damn. That's a pretty big ass dragon."

Asfana says evily,"Being big has its advantages too duelist because now, by banishing a dark monster once per turn, I can destroy one card on the field."

Joey groans and says in shock,"DAMN IT! I hate this."

Asfana says in a dark wicked grin,"LIfe isn't fair you pathetic whelp. Deal with with it. Now I banish my Azma to get rid of your Panther Warrior." Dark Armed Dragon spins its tail and unleashes a powerful dark shockwave that totally destroys Joey's Panther Warrior.

"Panther Warrior, NO!" Joey shouted in shock.

Asfana gives a wicked grin and says in a evil laugh,"YES! Now to continue on with my slaughter. Azma 7-Dark Keeper, attack him directly!" His monster nodded his head and rushed over to Joey's field with his sword intact about to slice him.

Joey replies,"You are not getting me that easyily pal. Reveal trap card, Magical Arm Shield." Joey's trap was revealed to be the Magical Arm Shield but then it was destroyed.

"What happened?!" questioned Joey in shock.

Asfana tells him in a dark sly smile,"Whoops. Guess I forgot to tell you that my Azma 7 has another ability. When he attacks, any trap cards are negated and destroyed."

"NO!" Joey says. Then, Asfana's Azma 7 slashes JOey in the chestr with his sword and he howls in pain from the dark lightning and loses 2500 life points. The attack was brutal that it left Joey standing on one knee.

Joey: 5000 (1/53)

Asfana: 7900 (0/51)

Joey thinks in his mind in pain, Man, this is even worse then when I faced Marik back in Battle City. But I gotta get through this.

After several tries, Joey gets back right up still in pain after the last attack.

Asfana says in a dark wicked grin,"Good boy. I don't want you to die just yet. I want to unleash every attack as possible so you can feel the most agonizing and exquisite pain that you've ever encountered just like the duel you had with Marik Ishtar from Battle City."

Joey says surprised,"How do you know about my duel with Marik?"

Asfana says in a dark serious tone,"Simple. During that time, I was in the shadows watching everbody dueling since the beginning of the pathetic Battle City tournament. Now you didn't realize from the start that I was there, but I was there all right. Watching and finding my next target. Honestly, most of the duelists I found out had newfound potential, however, you my friend, are one of the worst duelists I've seen around. Using luck based cards to win your duels, hah! Now I know who to face. I'll get rid of the weakest duelists first and then I'll get the strongest duelists last."

Joey snapped at Asfana's remark of him being 'weak' and he says angrily,"You think I'm weak? Well guess what pal, I made it to the semi-finals of Battle City finals and I did it on my own. I believe in my deck and though I didn't win every that duel, I proved to myself that I can duel and win on my own. So if you think I'm 'weak', then you got another think coming pal and I'll prove it," Joey pushes a button on his duel disk and says,"Now I'll play my other trap card, Flashbang. Since you attack me directly, your turn automatically comes to an end."

Asfana sneers and says,"Well, that was pretty a decent move from you. But don't expect to make a comeback. I end my turn." (0/51) (A/N: I've decided to alter Joey's deck a bit with with less luck cards since he already master that part. He will still have Time Wizard with the addition of the spell card Second Coin Toss which will help out greatly.)

Joey sighs in relief and thinks, Oh man, that was too close. I should not scare myself like that. I have to turn this duel around somehow. I just gotta believe in my deck like Yugi taught me and anything can happen. Well here goes.

Joey puts the two middle fingers on the top of the deck and thinks, C'mon deck, don't fail me now. "I draw my card," he said as he drew his card. (2/52) He looks at the card and smiles. "All right Asfana. I'll show you how Joey Wheeler does it. I play the spell Pot of Greed which lets me draw 2 cards. (3/50) Joey draws his two cards, looks at it, and smiles.

Asfana looks at his sly grin and wonders, What did that boy draw?

Joey says smiling,"I'm comin' for ya. Now check this out. I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode. (2/50) Joey then puts the card in the monster card zones and out came Gearfried The Iron Knight. (1800/1600)

Joey then puts a spell card in the spell card in the spell and trap card zones and says,"Now I play the spell card Release Restraint. This lets me sacrifice my Iron Knight for Gearfried the Swordsmaster from my hand or deck and since he is in my deck, I summon him from there. (1/50) Joey takes out his deck, gets the card, reshuffles his deck, and places the new card in attack mode. (2600) (1/49)

Asfana says in a sly evil grin,"Nice try, but he fails in comparison with my monsters."

Joey replies in a sly grin,"Well, my second spell will disagree with that statement." Joey takes the last card in his hand and places it in the spell and trap card zones. (0/49) "I play my Axe Of Despair card. This raises my monster's attack by 1000 points." Gearfried the Swordsmaster stats went from 2600 to 3600!

Asfana says in shock,"Over 3000 attack points!"

Joey says in a sly grin,"That's right. But there's more. Thanks to Gearfried's ability, when an equip spell is attached to him, he can destroy one monster on the field so I choose your Dark Armed Dragon!"

Asfana yells out shocked,"NO! Not him!" But it was already too late for him. Gearfried already rushed over to his field and destroyed Dark Armed Dragon to pieces.

Joey says in a serious tone,"Now my Gearfried, attack his Azma 7!" Gearfried rushes over to Asfana's field and slashes Asfana's monster with his upgraded sword causing Asfana to yelp in surprise as he loses 900 life points.

Joey: 5000 (0/49)

Asfana: 7000 (0/51)

Joey says in a sly smile,"Yeah!" How do you like that? Now you get zapped by the lighning that came fallin' down when the Shadow Game started." Right on cue, dark ligtning came raining down on Asfana but the shock didn't faze him, unnerving him.

Joey says in shock,"What the hell? You got zapped but you didn't get hurt?"

Asfana tells him in a dark cold sly smile,"I told you once before Joey Wheeler. I am one of the darkness so even my own Shadow Games don't have an effect on me. You on the other hand, well, not so fortunate for you. You've gotten a few lucky hits on me, but now I'll show you that not even luck can save your precious life. Now that your turn is over, I think it is time to show what the power of darkness can really do so get ready to hang on" Asfana then gives a dark cold wicked laugh similar to Yami Marik's laugh which creeps him out.

Joey thinks in his mind nervously, Man. This guy is just as terrible as Marik. Maybe even worse. He is right for one thing and that is even though I hit him, I still have a long way to go.

To be continued...
