"I have a feeling about this cave. Its like my body is telling me to come here. I guess this is part two of King Malik."
Malik entered a dark cave and on the wall was more engraved pictures, they had aged but Malik could see drawings which looked like him.
"This King thing is getting weirder and weirder."
Malik reached the end of the cave and saw writing on the wall, as he saw in the first cave with Raven. Malik placed his hand on the wall, the writing turned into blue text and a bright blue light shot out.
Malik shielded his eyes from beam and looked up once he knew it had passed. He saw a Knight in white amour appearing before him
"King Malik. This is your second test." said the Knight.
"I had been expecting this." Malik placed his duel disk on his arm.
"You have proven you our are King. Now it is time to prove to me you are capable."
"Fine. Lets duel!"
Turn 1
Knight 2 LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Malik LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I shall go first. I summon Absorption Knight. The Knight was a huge white knight, with a huge white sword, just likes its user.
Absorption Knight ATK: 0 DEF: 0 LVL 3 Dark/Warrior
"Next I shall set two cards. Your turn, my King."
Turn 2
Knight 2 LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Malik LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I really don't like to be called that. But fine, I draw!"
"Time to see how these new cards mix with my old cards. First a new one, I summon Ragtag Spider!"
Ragtag Spider ATK: 1200 DEF: 800 LVL 3 Dark/Insect
A large black spider with a yellow R on its back and red eyes appeared.
"His effect allows me to special summon a Ragtag from my hand, time for the old. Appear Ragtag Alien!" It was a green alien, with a black spacesuit on, with the letter R printed on it
Ragtag Alien ATK: 1700 DEF:1200 LVL 4 Dark/Reptile
Malik Gage: 0 - 3 (Summon X 2, Effect)
"Now I attack with Ragtag Alien!" Ragtag Alien pulled out a space gun and fired a red beam from the weapon. The White Knight lifted up his sword and swiped away the beam. "What?! Your monster deflected it?"
"My monster cant be destroyed by battle, and if this is the only monster on my field. Then I take no damage. Now my King I play the trap, Absorption Reverse. Now if a monster on your battled my monster, I take half of its ATK, then I add it onto my Knight!"
Ragtag Alien ATK: 850 Knight ATK: 850
"Damn. Thankfully you don't use a gage at least."
"I play my other trap, Absorption Battle. If I control only one Absorption Knight, all your monsters must attack my monster during your battle phase.
"So you will gain my other monsters attack. Thats smart, fine spider attack!" Ragtag Spider shot out a web of string at the Knight, who deflected it away with its sword.
"Absorption Reverse activates again!"
Ragtag Spider ATK: 600 Knight ATK: 1450
"Fine. I set two cards and end there."
Turn 3
Knight 2 LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Malik LP: 4000 Hand: 2 Gage: 3
"I draw!"
"I play the spell card, Double Speed. I'm sure you know what this does my King."
"I do. I have the same card, it allows you to attack twice with a LVL 4 or below monster, but its ATK if halved each time."
"Yes, now I play the continuous spell, Limit Increase. Now any card which would decrease my ATK, will now increase it by the same amount!"
"WHAT?!" shouted Malik.
"Now go Absorption Knight. Attack his Spider!" The Knight lifted his sword up high and slammed it down with full power.
"I play a trap. Ragtag Shield!" A metal shield with the letter "R" engrave appeared before Ragtag Spider and blocked the Knight's swing. "Now I take no damage from the battle, plus your monster is destroyed!" The Knight made contact with the shield with a heavy noise following. But the Knight leaped back and had not been destroyed.
"Oh what now?!" cried out Malik.
"I played the quick play spell Absorption Slash. Now by halving my monsters ATK, I can negate one spell or since Limit Increase is in play, my ATK will go up instead!"
Absorption Knight ATK: 2175
"Now where was I. Oh yes, taking out your Spider. Go!" Absorption Knight dashed forward and swung its sword away at the eight legged monster, destroying it.
Malik LP: 2425
"I now gain half your spiders ATK."
Knight ATK: 2725
Next I play Double Speed's effect, I can attack again with another LVL 4 or below monster, normally my ATK would be halved, but its increased!"
Knight ATK: 4025
"Sorry my King, but you need to do more practice! End this Knight!"
"I play Ragtag Spider's second effect. By banishing this card from the graveyard, I can negate one ATK." Ragtag Spider reappeared on the field and create a web around Ragtag Pirate, blocking the attack.
Gage: 3 - 4 (Effect)
"Very well. I end there."
Turn 4
Knight 2 LP: 2425 Hand: 0
Malik LP: 4000 Hand: 2 Gage: 4
"Right, lets take a look. He controls a monster which cant be destroyed nor does it take effect damage. He also can attack more then once per turn and his attack raises with every battle. Finally I have to attack his monster with all my monsters, thus increasing his attacking and destroying my own. I need to do something." Malik thought. "I draw!"
"Perfect." he thought. "I summon Ragtag Goose.
Ragtag Goose ATK:1200 DEF: 600 LVL 4 Light/Winged Beast
Gage: 4 - 5 (Summon)
"My King. That cant be correct, your using a Light monster?"
"My deck is mostly Dark monsters,but I run some others aswell."
"Sir, it is known the King's deck must be filled with Dark monsters."
"Says who? I play Goose's effect, it allows me to destroy one spell or trap on the field, so be gone Absorption Battle."
Gage: 5 - 7 (Effect, Destroyed Spell)
"So you no longed need to attack me with all your monsters. Interesting choice."
"Next I play Foundation Changer. I pay 800 LP. This changes a non Foundation into a Foundation monster. Ragtag Goose changes. Now I pay three counters to grow Ragtag Goose!"
Malik LP: 2425 - 1625
Malik Gage: 7 - 4
"Time to appear, Darkness Sorcerer!" The Growth monster had a long white beard and was in red robes with a magic stick.
Darkness Sorcerer ATK: 2000 DEF: 1800 Gage LVL 3 Dark/Spellcaster/Growth
"One of my new Growth monsters, pretty cool. But first I can special summon this guy from my hand!"
Growth-Helper Demolition-man ATK: 900 DEF: 300 LVL 3 Dark/Warrior/Foundation
The monster wore a hardhat and had a something jacket on. He also had a tall hammer in his left hand.
Gage: 4 - 6 (Effect, Summon)
"When I control a Growth monster this monster can be special summoned to the field. If this card is special summoned this way, once per turn I can destroy one type of card face up on the field. I take out your face up spells!"
Demolition-man swung his hammer around in his hand, before throwing it at the spells. The cards then crumbled as if a building was being destroying.
Malik Gage: 6 - 8 (Effect, Destroy Spell)
"I grow my Demolition-man!" Four orange lights decreased from Malik's gage as the lights shot out from his black duel disk. The orange lights circled the monster as Demolition-man dipped into the floor and a winged bird came from the circle.
Malik Gage: 8 - 4
"Come forth Ragtag Phoenix!" Malik's ace flew onto the field.
Ragtag Phoenix ATK: 2500 DEF:2000 Gage LVL: 4 /Growth Monster/Light/Winged Beast
"Well this isn't right." said the Knight.
"No, your going to lose. I play Darkness Sorcerer's main effect, I gain another two counters if another Growth monster is on the field."
Malik Gage: 4 - 6
"Now I play four counters for one of Sourcers gage effect, this allows me to special summon one Dark type monster from my deck. Appear Growth-Helper Magican!"
Malik Gage: 6 - 2
Growth-Helpler Magican ATK: 900 DEF: 300 LVL 3 Dark/Spellcaster/Foundation
"If I control a Growth monster, then Growth Helper Magican can destroy all your remaining spells and traps on the field! So goodbye Double Speed and Absorption Battle!"
The Knight's remaining face up spells and traps were swept away by the Magician's power.
"Since I used a Growth monster's effect, I don't gain a counter but a summon does get me one!"
Malik Gage: 2 - 5 (Destroyed Spell/Trap X2, Effect)
"In a single move you took down my main strategy. Very wise. And your learning the full power of the gage. But-" said the Knight.
"But what?"
"Your use of Light monsters and other types are not right. Tell me King Malik, did you only have Dark monsters before Sampson gave you new monsters with different types?"
"How do you know about Sampson?"
"I monitor everything to do with you."
Malik gritted his teeth. "Yes. Derek gave me new cards when I was in his police force."
"That makes sense. If you beat me, I will sort this out."
"Like what?!"
"You will see Sir." replied the Knight.
"His Knight's ATK is 4025. I know what to do" thought Malik. "I play Darkness Sorcerer's other gage effect, I pay one counter. This allows me to tribute a monster on my field. Then that monster's ATK is taken from one of your monsters. I tribute my Darkness Sorcerer himself!"
Knight ATK: 4025 - 2025 Malik Gage: 5- 4
"If that monster was a Dark monster, your monster's effect is also negated until my end phase! I use one of my ace's gage effects, by paying two counters, this halves your monsters ATK!"
Malik Gage: 4 - 2 Knight ATK: 4025 - 1012
"I use Ragtag Phoenixone counter gage counter effect, I pay one counter to reduce your life points by 500. I use that effect twice!"
Malik Gage: 2 - 0 Knight LP: 4000 - 3000
"Finally I play the spell Sacrifice, which I set. I can double my monsters monsters ATK!"
Ragtag Phoenix ATK: 5000
"Now go attack his Knight. Phoenix Flare!"
Ragtag Phoenix flew into the sky and basked in its purple light as the bird dive bombed down towards the Knight.
Knight LP: 3000 - 0 Malik Wins
The duel field faded, Malik walked towards the Knight.
"Well done my King. You have one more Knight to face then you will become the King once again."
"I wasn't alive a hundred years ago! But anyway what is my reward this time?" he said with a sarcastic tone.
"Your Fabled Bird card, and your deck shall turn to darkness." The Knight pulled out a white sword and slammed it onto the floor. Darkness begun to fill the room and shroud Malik's sight."
"WHAT?!"
Malik once again had to shield his eyes, he saw that the smoke had gone and begun to look around. The Knight had disappeared. Malik looked at his deck, one by one he flicked through. Each of his original non Dark monsters had now been changed into Dark types.
"No... why?" Malik questioned to himself.
Malik then looked at Ragtag Phoenix, his most trusted card. Malik's face painted a horror story, Ragtag Phoenix's card begun to change infront of Malik's eyes.
The purple mighty Phoenix's card art was slowly replaced by a black fierce looking Phoenix. His teeth was now bigger and his eyes were now red.
Malik slowly looked at its type. It had been changed from Light, to Dark. Malik then looked at its name.
Darkness Crimson Phoenix
Malik begun to rapid breath.
Fire World
Inside the Fire King's throne room was sat Henry. He wore red cape. He had red boots and jeans with a red shirt. He had short thin red hair.
Henry's eyes were wide open, he had sensed something. "So... Malik found his Bird card at last. No matter, I don't care about Bird cards unlike Planet Redemption, I only need his powers. Which he will get soon."
Henry pushed a button on his throne. A servant dressed in a suit with a red tie appeared.
"Yes my King."
"Whats the latest from the Dark World about this Rachel girl?"
"Our Agent has found her and her undercover persona. She is called Hannah. It wont be long before she is out of the picture. But Sir."
"What?"
"It appears more have came from Redemption. Our Agent says one called Raven, and Robert and possible one more have been or are on the Dark World."
"That is bad news. I cant have them killing Malik or Morgan. But I wont go ahead with the Engage Machine until Redemption are killed. Prepare the Fire Warriors and send them using the new energy we got from Sampson. Since our energy is back to normal, we can use the full gage."
"Yes Sir."
Henry got up and looked out of his back window. He looked out of his mighty castle.
"The Engage Machine will soon be active." he said to himself.
