Once more, here's another installment, which is also the last I'm posting on my old laptop as well at the first from my new Pen Drive. With Zhark and Gabe on the hunt for the renegade Crow, can the Blackwing duelist stand a chance against whatever Gabe has? Also, can the girl that's been following Zhark finally get her chance to approach him? Well, you're about to find out, since I already know because I wrote it. ~ClearDrago
Zhark finally caught up with Gabe after finishing his duel with Blackjack, his duel disk now resting on his back, held by a single strap around his shoulder. Gabe called, "About time. What have you been doing anyway?", to which Zhark said, "Just taking care of some issues with an old friend from before the New Order. It's nothing you need to be asking about." Gabe sighed and replied, "Fine, whatever. So, anything big happen since that big attack, lately?" Zhark answered, "Not that much. Although, I've sometimes had the feeling we missed someone at that battle and that someone is watching me. After all, I turned the tide against the attackers." Gabe then said, "That's right. I'm sure what's-his-name and what's-her-name were pleased with you for the kind of help you offered."
Of course, Zhark and Gabe were referring to the failed assault that had happened a few months ago, when a large group of duelist had tried an attack against the Dark King and Queen. The opposing duelists made it all the way to the tower and had a chance of victory…until Zhark flew in on Quitaru. From there on, it was nothing more than a massacre as Quitaru set ablaze many duelists who opposed the Dark King and Queen. Ksonet also cleared the way, snatching up anyone in its sights and consuming them whole. All in all, Zhark was the turning point in the battle, which resulting in the annihilation of the entire attacking group.
All but one, unknown to Zhark and even the Dark King and Queen. The girl that had been watching Zhark's duel with Blackjack continued to secretly follow the two boys, knowing all too well the devastation Zhark and Ksonet had caused to the group she was a part of. The only reason she survived was her fleeing the moment she saw Quitaru in the skies. She hid away and watched as all those who were her friends were quickly overpowered by the Dark King and Queen's forces and killed without remorse. In particular, her gaze was focused upon Zhark, watching him half in terror of his power and the maniacal grin he had as he watched his dragons set ablaze or grabbed and swallowed whole anyone who dared to approach him, half in longing and admiration of his powers. She was finally able to tear her eyes away from the wild dragon duelist, quickly scolding herself for even considering the possibility of having feelings for him in any way, then fled as fast as she possibly could.
Eventually, she was able to catch sight of Zhark more and more, always hiding from him, even though she thought he probably didn't even know her at all. Slowly, as she saw more of him, she had given up resisting against her feelings and allowed herself to fall for him. Now, she had a clear picture of him to admire as long as she wanted to, whenever she wanted to, as well as a picture of one of his two ace monsters that she saw at the failed assault, the Dark Dragonic Overlord - Ksonet. She was still following him, hoping to gather the courage to approach and admire the real thing or perhaps get a picture of the white-eyed, pitch black-colored dragon.
At that point, a girl's voice called, "This is a really bad idea.", as the spirit of a young girl with blue hair and eyes, wearing a green shirt over a brown coat on her and a purple skirt, and holding a blue staff with a water drop in it, alongside a green lizard with red eyes. The lizard spoke up, "Yeah. Eria's right. You're following two followers of the Dark King and Queen. What if they see us?" The girl muttered, "I know what I'm doing, Eria. I'll be sure they don't see me, Gigobyte. After all, it's Zhark I'm following. He probably doesn't even know I was part of that attacking group since I fled before he swooped in." Eria responded with, "Alright, I just hope you know what you're doing.", before she and Gigobyte vanished, leaving the duelist alone.
Zhark and Gabe continued on, unaware of the love-struck stalker hiding out from them. Zhark continued with, "Where did you say Crow was seen again? I've been ordered to find and bring him in dead or alive, so I'll do whatever I have to do." Before Gabe could respond, a man's voice called out, "Look no further than right in front of you!", as a D-Wheel rushed up from the left, slightly behind them. The D-Wheel was a black and orange colored one, with two protrusions from the sides which looked like wings. Once the D-Wheel landed, it quickly skid to a stop, the wing-like protrusions retracting up, as the D-Wheeler detached the Duel Disk from the D-Wheel and dismounted.
The D-Wheeler himself was a spiky orange haired man, wearing a yellow t-shirt under a brown vest with armbands on his upper arms and fingerless gloves that also covered his wrists, jeans with a belt and boots. He also wore a blue headband with two rings on the front. On his face was several yellow markings, two markings on the sides of his face that run down from his eyes as well as an 'M'-like mark on his forehead.
Zhark raised his arm, ready for a duel, calling out, "Heh…finally decided to show yourself to us, eh, Crow? That'll be one mistake you'll regret for the rest of your afterlife!" Gabe cut in a few moments later, "Hey, why not let me handle this. It looks as if you had a tense duel earlier and you're probably tired out. Isebil and I will burn his wings easy." Taking a few moments to consider, Zhark finally said, "Alright, do whatever you want. I'm kind of curious to see what kind of skills you've got anyway." With a wicked grin, Gabe pulled out a duel disk from his shoulder bag, answering, "You've got it. I would warn you to put on your sunglasses just in case Isebil comes to the field, but you don't have any, so whatever."
Crow activated his duel disk, calling out, "So, you really think you can beat me, Crow-sama?", falling back on his habit of referring to himself in the third person as the most important person in the world. Gabe retorted, "I don't know about beating you, but I can burn you.", then both shouted, "DUEL!", starting their duel. In the meantime, the girl had found a good vantage point of the duel, safely hiding from anyone view. As she watched, she muttered, "Looks as if a duel is about to start. I might get my chance to get close to Zhark if those two end up killing each other or at least knocking themselves out."
Crow Hogan: 4000
Vs.
Gabe Jennings: 4000
Gabe called, "I'll take the lead here.", drawing his five card starting hand, as well as an extra for his normal draw. A slot on the right side of the five normal zones of his duel disk opened up as Gabe placed a spell card depicting a massive volcano on the slot, which closed up, calling out, "I'll begin with the Molten Destruction field spell, which will hook up all Fire monsters with 500 extra attack points but burns away 400 of their defense points." Immediately, the landscape changed into a molten one, like what you would imagine early Earth was like, complete with an constantly erupting volcano in the background." Playing a few more cards, Gabe called, "Now, I'll set 2 back row cards, set a monster, and call it a turn at that."
Now it was Crow's turn, who called out, "My turn, then.", drawing his card. "I'll start with my Black Whirlwind spell card. Next, I'll summon Blackwing – Sirocco the Dawn. Despite it being a level 5, I'm allowed to do this since I have a blank field and you control at least 1 monster." The spell card showed a swirl of feathers, mostly black with some different colored ones, the most prominent different colors being a red feather and a yellow feather. As for Sirocco, it manifested as a mostly tan humanoid-like bird with a blue mane of feathers and a beak-like mask. It's feet were yellow and looked like the talons of a bird. Crow continued with, "Now the effect of my Black Whirlwind gets set off, which lets a Blackwing with less attack than Sirocco to soar right to my hand. I think I'll go with my Gale the Whirlwind.", showing the card he was adding before placing it along with his hand cards.
Next Crow called, "Now, Sirocco the Dawn, wipe out that set monster of his!" Sirocco took to the skies and quickly dove down, slicing the face-down card, which manifested with the ground erupting into a small crater, in which was a black shadowy figure with blue eyes, that had several scratches on it, before exploding, leaving a small gash in the crater which quickly filled up with lava. Gabe called, "Well, that's a mistake, cause you blew up my Thing in the Crater. Now I can special summon a pyro monster from my hand, and I'll go with…" stopping for a moment to look at his hand and mutter, "…not yet. I know I could but what's the fun of it.", then calling out loud, "…my Fox Fire in defense mode."
When he placed the Fox Fire's card on the field, out of the lava filled crater left by Thing in the Crater emerged a cute, little red fox with a flame on the tip of its tail. Once the little fox completely emerged from the lava, the lava cooled to replace the ground that was lost by Thing in the Crater. With this, Crow muttered, "Aww, man, that's no fun. I guess there's nothing else I can do but set a card face-down and call it at that."
Fox Fire's ATK/DEF: 300/200 - +500/-400 = 800/0
With a grin, Gabe called, "Too bad that had to be done during the damage step, or else I could actually had some fun with that. Well, anyway, it's my draw.", taking his draw card and looking at it, as well as the other two cards in his hand. Gabe called, "Well, I'll begin by pulling out my Solar Flare Dragon to the field!", which materialized as a large imperial-like blazing dragon. Gabe continued, "I'll toss one more back row card and then end. That means Solar Flare Dragon gets to burn away 500 of your life points." The blazing dragon fired a stream of flames at Crow, which left him slightly burnt, but more importantly, minus 500 life points.
Crow Hogan: 3500 LP (4000 - 500)
Solar Flare Dragon's ATK/DEF: 1500/1000 - +500/-400 = 2000/600
Crow drew his card, calling, "Then it's my turn to draw." With a cursory glance at his hand, he placed the card he had just drawn on the field, calling, "I'll summon out my Gale the Whirlwind.", which manifested as purple and green bird, with no visible beak and bright red eyes. Continuing his turn, Gale called, "Now, I'll use my Gale's effect to cut Solar Flare Dragon down to size, well, where its attack and defense are concerned." Gale flapped its wings, which unleashed a massive gust at the Solar Flare Dragon, which extinguished the flames on its body quite a bit.
Solar Flare Dragon's ATK/DEF: 2000/600 - /2 = 1000/300
Crow then called, "Now, with that out of the way, Gale attacks your Fox Fire!" Gale once again flapped its wings, sending a massive gust at Fox Fire, but this time, the Fox Fire exploded in a blaze. "Now, Sirocco, take out that Solar Flare Dragon!", to which Sirocco took to the skies once again, aiming at Solar Flare Dragon. However, before Sirocco hit, Gabe called, "Not so fast! Before that, I think I'll reveal my Limit Reverse, which lets me bring back a monster with 1000 ATK or less, like my Thing in the Crater, which also means you can't hit my Solar Flare Dragon anymore." Limit Reverse flipped open, which depicted a Swordsman of Landstar and in the background, a duel disk's graveyard slot, which had the Swordsman of Landstar's card in it. Once again, a crater was formed as the black creature appeared once again, glaring at Sirocco, who was hovering in the air.
Crow looked on for a few moments before calling out, "It don't matter to me! Sirocco will just wipe it out again.", after which Sirocco swooped down on Thing in the Crater, which exploded, leaving an even bigger gash in the crater, through which lava gushed out, forming a massive pillar of magma. Gabe called out, "You really shouldn't have done that. Now I get my Thing in the Crater's effect, which lets me summon a Pryo-type monster in my hand and I'll let you know now, I could have pulled this last time." Gabe then grabbed at a card in his hand and holding it up, he declared, "From across the burning reaches, all shall be put ablaze in her presence! Descend Forth, Earthbound Immortal Isebil!", then slammed the card down onto his duel disk. The massive lava pillar then descended, revealing the massive figure of a pitch-dark woman covered completely in flames.
Gabe Jennings: 3000 LP (4000 – (2000 – 1500 = 500))
Earthbound Immortal Isebil
Attribute: Dark
Level: 10
Type: Pyro/Effect
ATK/DEF: 500/500
Effect: There can only be 1 face-up "Earthbound Immortal" monster on the field. If there are no face-up Field Spell Card on the field, this card is destroyed. This card can attack your opponent directly. This card cannot be selected as an attack target. While this card remains face-up on the field, the Attribute of all face-up monsters on the field becomes FIRE. If a face-up FIRE monster would be destroyed by a card effect, once per turn it is not. During your End Phase, inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each FIRE monster on the field.
However, unlike last time, the magma didn't stop flowing from the crater. It kept gushing out, until it enveloped the entire field. The magma then shot up, surrounding Sirocco and Gale, to which Crow yelled out, "What's going on here!" Gabe lazily replied, "That's just Isebil's effect at work. While she's out, all our monsters are made to be fire attribute." The magma then lowered down, revealing Sirocco and Gale, surround by an aura of flames, but otherwise unharmed. Finding his monsters still there, Crow said with relief, "Whew, I thought that was gonna fry my birds. Well, there's nothing else I can do, so I'll just have to end my turn."
Blackwing – Sirocco the Dawn's ATK/DEF: 2000/900 - +500/-400 = 2500/500
Blackwing – Gale the Whirlwind's ATK/DEF: 1300/400 - +500/-400 = 1800/0
Earthbound Immortal Isebil's ATK/DEF: 500/500 - +500/-400 = 1000/100
Gabe called, "Excellent, that means my Fox Fire gets to come back to come back since it was destroyed by battle.", as a small flame flashed into existence, then erupted, once again revealing the Fox Fire. Gabe then drew, "Then I draw.", taking a look at what he drew before saying, "Well, I was kind of hoping for something better, but I guess this works. I switch my Solar Flare Dragon to defense, then set a back row card and I'll call it at that." However, before Crow could draw, Gabe interrupted with, "Let's not forget about Solar Flare Dragon's effect burning away another 500 life points.", to which Solar Flare quickly shot out a fireball at Crow. Crow yelled out, "Ouch! That kind of stung!", to which Gabe replied, "Well, if you though that stung, you'll really be hurting once Isebil's effect hits you." Crow yelled, "What? Isebil has a burn effect as well?" Gabe replied, "Yup, she burns away 200 of your life points for every fire attribute monster on the field. Right now, I'm counting 5: Sirocco, Gale, Fox Fire, Solar Flare, and Isebil herself, which means you're taking 1000 more damage!"
A massive fireball formed in Isebil's hand, which she threw at Crow. The fireball split into five equally-sized fireballs, which all hit at once. Zhark called out, "Alright, now that's how it's done!", while the eavesdropping girl muttered, "That's not good at all. An Earthbound Immortal, here...how many of these things are there anyway? I thought that orange hummingbird and Zhark's white-eyed black dragon Quitaru were the only ones." When the smoke faded, Crow was lying on the ground, his vest looking slightly burnt. He muttered, "Aw man, that stings! I guess I'm going to have to make some sort of comeback this turn, otherwise my goose is cooked!", coming back onto his feet.
Crow Hogan: 2000 (3500 – 500 – (200 x 5 = 1000))
Crow continued with, "Looks like it's my turn, and this better work, otherwise I'm toast!", drawing his card. Looking at what he drew, Crow chuckled before continuing with, "Well, well, looks like I drew just what I needed to win this! I summon my Blackwing – Fane the Steel Chain!", placing the card he had just drawn onto the field. Fane materialized as a humanoid-like red-eyed bird in a black ninja's suit with a metal forehead protector, its beak covered up with a scarf and two kunai in an open pouch. As soon a Fane appeared, the magma on the ground shot up and surrounded Fane for a few moments before lowering down, leaving a fiery aura. Crow then called out, "Now for one of my favorite moves. I play a trap card from my hand, Delta Crow – Anti Reverse!"
Blackwing – Fane the Steel Chain's ATK/DEF: 500/800 - +500/-400 = 1000/400
Zhark, Gabe, and the girl that was watching were all stunned at what Crow had just done, Zhark yelling out, "Impossible! There's no way you can play a trap card from your hand!", to which Crow replied, "Well, I just did. Let me explain, normally I can only activate Delta Crow – Anti Reverse the normal way if I control at least 1 Blackwing monster, but if I have exactly 3 Blackwings on my field, I'm allowed to play this straight from my hand. You'd better watch out, because this card lets me blow up all your face-down Spell and Trap cards!", after which Gabe interrupted, "Which gives me even more of an incentive to activate them, Poison of the Old Man and Gravity Bind.", revealing both face-down cards, the spell showing an old man holding two different jars, one with a green chemical, the other with a purple chemical and the trap's image being best described as a large blue orb bending a green wire grid.
As Gravity Bind took effect, a large green wire grid formed above the field, then lowered down, bending around Sirocco, Isebil, and Solar Flare Dragon, pinning them down to the ground, and passing right through the rest. Then, Gabe said, "With Gravity Bind out, all of our level 4 or higher monsters are going to have to chill, since they're unable to attack. As for Poison of the Old Man, I can either gain 1200 life points, or burn away 800 of yours. I'll go ahead and give myself a 1200 boost if you don't mind.", a blue aura forming around Gabe as his life points increased.
Gabe Jennings: 4200 (3000 + 1200)
Crow sighed, knowing that now that Gabe's face-downs were face-up, nothing was going to be destroyed. Crow continued his turn, calling out, "Now I'll play the effect of my Sirocco the Dawn, which by relinquishing Gale and Sirocco's attacks, collects their combined attack power into Fane the Steel Chain!" Sirocco and Gale formed white energy spheres in their hands, or in Gale's case, wings, then both circled around Fane, the energy binding onto Fane. Once Gale and Sirocco finished, Fane was glowing white, then the glow vanished, once again revealing the fiery aura.
Blackwing – Fane the Steel Chain's ATK: 1000 + (2500 + 1800 = 3400) = 5300
Crow finally called, "Now I can finally finish this duel! I have to admit, your Earthbound Immortal had me worried, but I'm thankful to have drawn this when I did. Thanks to Fane's effect, it can soar right over your monsters, even your mighty Isebil, and hit you directly and before you try to claim Gravity Bind against me, Fane happens to be a Level 2 monster, so my bird isn't gonna be chillin' anytime soon! Now, Fane, attack directly!" Fane rose up, quickly grabbing a kunai from the open pouch on its shirt and a chain, attached the kunai to an end of the chain, then soared high into the air until it could see Gabe over Isebil's massive form, then tossed the kunai, which turned into an energy beam as it approached Gabe. Finally, the energy beam struck Gabe, slicing into his left arm. Even so, Gabe only said in a normal-like tone, "Ouch! That really hurt, you know."
Gabe Jennings: 0 (4200 – 5300 = -1100)
Crow, having acquired a close win, called out, "Now, if you don't mind, I'll be taking flight once again. If we end up meeting again, Zhark, I'll take you on!", removing his duel disk from his arm and placing it on his D-Wheel, the five card slots wrapping around the center. Mounting his duel disk, Crow shouted, "Until next time, you two! Thanks for the duel!", then started his D-Wheel and left the two duelists. As Crow left, Zhark sighed, muttering, "Dang it, he got away again!" Gabe said to Zhark, "Don't trouble yourself too much, Zhark. I wasn't expecting this and yet, I'm not getting upset. We'll just have to try harder next time.", Zhark sighed and said, "Alright, next time, Crow's going down. In the meantime, I'll handle telling this to the King and Queen. I'll tell them you took my place due to injuries I took from a previous duel, that way you'll not get punished as badly.", and walked away, leaving Gabe to yell after him, "Alright, 'till next time, Zhark."
The same girl that had seen the duel also secretly followed Zhark, knowing that he was troubled and was considering giving him some emotional support. Eria and Gigobyte materialized next to her, with Eria asking, "Are you really going to go down there to help comfort Zhark?" The duelist muttered, "Well…I'm not too sure if I should.", after which Gigobyte exclaimed, "You're crazy to go down there! What if Zhark sees you as a rebel against the Dark King and Queen and tries to capture you?" The girl thought about this for a few moments before replying, "Well, that's a possibility, but chances are, Zhark doesn't even know I exist. I'm going to take my chances and approach him." Eria silently spoke, "I hope you know what you're doing here.", before she and Gigobyte vanished.
The girl quickened her pace, approaching Zhark, calling out, "Is there something wrong? Do you wanna talk about it?" Zhark quickly turned his gaze to look upon the blue-eyed, black haired girl, who was wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt, a light blue sweater tied around her waist, blue jeans, and white shoes. Zhark took a few seconds to examine her closely, to which she blushed a light pink, before replying, "Well, yeah, I suppose I could use someone to talk to. I was really hoping to finally catch someone for the Dark King and Queen, but failed. Now I've got to find a way to tell them he got away without getting killed as punishment."
She approached Zhark, placing a hand on his shoulder as she spoke, "Just tell them what happened. Perhaps the Dark King and Queen believe you to be of greater importance and they'll spare your life. All you have to do is tell them the truth of what happened." Zhark stayed silent for a moment before he turned to her, a smile on his face. "You're right. All I'll do is tell them everything of what happened today and perhaps that'll let me live. Thanks for the encouragement." He said. He then added in, "By the way, my name is Zhark Darastrix. What's yours?" She was stunned for a few moments at how straight forward Zhark was with asking her name, but once she managed to speak again, she said, "I-it's Vanessa…Vanessa Quesada. I'm pleased to meet someone like you." Zhark raised his hand up to grab hers on his shoulder, as he said, "Likewise.", pausing for a few moments to examine the feel of her hand before lifting her hand off his shoulder, letting his fingers curl around her hand and feel her palm. A pink tint came to the boy's cheeks before he released his grip on her hand. "Now, if you excuse me, I really have to be going now. I hope to see you again sometime, Vanessa.", he said, then continued walking off, with a quicker pace in his step.
When Zhark was out of sight, Eria and Gigobyte reappeared, Gigobyte speaking first, "Whew! That really was a close one. Zhark had no clue you were part of that failed attack after all." Vanessa replied, "Well, of course, Gigobyte. He didn't see me that day." Eria spoke up, "So, are you going to try and see him more often?" Vanessa though about that for a few moments before replying with, "Perhaps, although I won't have to go looking for him anymore. I managed to slip one of my cards into his deck without him noticing." Eria then spoke up, "I really hope you know what you're doing, Vanessa.", to which Vanessa replied, "Trust me, Eria, I know.", holding the hand Zhark had been holding moments before next to her heart, smiling softly. "One step closer to my love. Zhark, I…I know you might not realize it yet, b-but…I really wanna be with you.", she silently said to herself as her thoughts turned to the boy that had stolen away not only her friends, but also her heart on that day.
In the meantime, Zhark had his own duel spirit visitor, in the form of Fortune Lady Darky. Darky materialized to Zhark's left in a solid form as she said, "So then, what kind of relations do you plan on having with this Vanessa?", to which Zhark replied, "I'm not too sure what side she's on, but if I can turn her to the New Order, I'll get back to you on that." Darky grinned as she said, "Well, I think you're trying to form some sort of deeper bond with her. For one, you took the time to examine her rather closely. Also, you held her hand for quite some time. Both those things aren't normal for any person." Before Darky could continue, Zhark quickly interjected, "It's not what you think, Darky. There's no way I could be falling for her already. Quitaru would kill me if I did. But on the other hand, we can't be together. Queen Nagisa has already expressed her disapproval on a romantic bond between us, especially in the way you want, so I'm gonna have to find someone sooner or later."
Darky smiled at hearing Zhark's words and answered, "A very valid point. But, until then, I have you all to myself.", before fading and vanishing from view. Now that he was all alone, Zhark stopped for a few moments to say out loud, "But the question remains, what side is Vanessa on, anyway?", redirecting his focus on the question he should be asking himself: how important will Vanessa be to him? He continued walking on towards the Dark King and Queen's tower, to report on the two incidents of the day. It wasn't long before Zhark found himself pounding a fist to his head, muttering, "Why was I just thinking about Vanessa in that way? We've only just met and I've already gotten the urgef kissing her. Damn it!"
Wiraqocha Rasca: Kentaro Hassleberry, The time for our vengeance against the cursed rulers has come! Awaken from your torment and join my cause!

Words of ClearDrago
Here's were the story starts picking up pace. With the re-rise of the Condor, will the New Order be able to hold up against its wrath? As for Vanessa, can she acquire Zhark's affections? Based on Zhark's latest thoughts, she seems to have a very good chance. But, while he's under the New Order's control, those chances might be just an illusion as long as she keeps hiding from them. Well, she'll get her chance, with the help of an ancient darkness, of a similar kind to the white-eyed pitch black dragon Quitaru, the ringleader of a secret plan Akrasua, and the destruction-loving woman of fire Isebil. But...that's for much later. ~ClearDrago
