Yu-Gi-Oh: War of the Gods.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, and the Bible was God's spoken word to all of mankind

The Locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. Their hair was like women's hair and their teeth like lions' teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had the power to torment people for five months. They had as King over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon. –Revelation 9:7-11.

Authors Notes: Apollyon or Abaddon is a Fallen Angel or if you prefer demon. (I don't, because they are still technically angels, they just don't have the authority that was given to them by God. A fallen angel can still be used by God to do His bidding because He is Omnipotent.) WARNING: This episode will have blatant Christian symbolism, if this offends you than stop reading. Otherwise enjoy

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh: War of the Gods:

"…I play the field card that will take us to the Shadow Realm! A field that will release the Darkness within our Demon and Spellcaster subtype monsters. A field simply known as Yami!"…

…"You won't be so happy when you see what I'm summoning. A monster of incredible Dark Power against which you cannot win! I summon Dark Necrofear! (DARK/8/Demon/Effect/2400/3000)"

A tall bluish colored female Demon with no hair, and several articles of leather appeared in front of Apollyon. She held what looked to be some sort of broken doll.

"Observe," Apollyon said, "As the darkness of the Shadows increases the power of my Dark Necrofear from 2200 to 2400! That's not all, observe your Element Magician!"

The normally gentle and serene look on Element Magician's face broke away to a psychopathic grin.

Davis felt something pulling at him, and he groaned in agony.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"You play a lot of Spellcaster Subtype monsters don't you?" Apollyon said grinning evilly.

"Mainly Spellcaster and Warrior yes," Davis said, "So?"

"All Spellcaster monsters have a dark side to them, even Spellcasters of light such as element magician. When played in Yami the darkness is released, while this gives them a 200 point bonus, the cost is that their, and by extension your because they are pieces of your soul, sinful nature is released. I never could stand the good side of humanity anyway. You spend half of you lives in pursuit of your vices and the other half trying to cover up what you did in the Garden."

Davis suddenly got a cold chill up his spine. "You talk as if you're not human."

Apollyon looked up and for the first time Davis got a look at his eyes. They were glowing red. In addition to that they had no pupils. They were just black red orbs.

"I'm not."

"Whoa!" Davis yelped and took several steps back.

"What did you think I meant when I said I was Apollyon the Destroyer?" He said laughing.

"I truly am the Fallen Angel. Banished to the Pit of Fire by your master, and condemned for all eternity along with one-third of all my bothers and sisters."

"Bbb…bbut you're a Sage!" Davis said.

"There is no rule that says a sage must be human!" Apollyon said sneering, "I do worship the Lord of Light: Lucifer, and therefore I qualify to be a sage."

He began laughing maniacally.

"You're my ticket out of Hell Davis," Apollyon said with the most malicious grin Davis had ever seen.

"How so?" Davis asked with a tremble in his voice.

"You're a Christian Davis," Apollyon said mockingly, "Your faith teaches you that because Jesus died on the cross He became the sacrifice to redeem all of mankind. You've got an Inheritance Davis. Your faith has given you a one way ticket to Heaven after you die. When I defeat you in this Sage's game I'm taking your Inheritance. When I win you'll be going to Hell while I get to go through those Pearly Gates. How ironic that God's weakness for humans will become his downfall. On that note: Dark Necrofear attack his Element Magician!"

Two thin beams of red light shot from the Dark Necrofear's eyes and stuck the element magician, who promptly broke apart.

"Your move Davis," Apollyon said sneering.

Davis drew and glanced at the card that he pulled. ("All right! My demon-slayer card! She could easily take down Dark Necrofear! Hmm. I have a better Idea.)

"I summon my D. D. Warrior Lady in attack mode," Davis said (LIGHT/4/Warrior/Effect/1500/1600)

A blond warrior in a gray bodysuit appeared. She had a mechanical left arm and a laser-sword with a white blade. On her right biological arm there was a rainbow colored button above her wrist. She nodded towards Davis.

Next to his Dark Magician Girl D. D. Warrior Lady was his favorite female card. Her ability made her so worth it.

"D. D. Warrior Lady attack Dark Necrofear!" Davis said.

"You fool, my monster has Nine Hundred more Attack points than yours," Apollyon said.

As he spoke however the Warrior Lady leapt onto the back of Dark Necrofear and grabbed on tightly. She reached over and punched the button on her arm. There was a flash of rainbow colored light and both monsters were gone.

Davis-9400LP

Apollyon-6600LP

"What?" Apollyon shouted.

"My D. D. Warrior Lady removes herself and any monster she battles from play. So even though I lost nine hundred points I gained one thousand, so I'm one hundred points ahead of where I was," Davis said happily, "Any your Dark Necrofear won't be possessing any of my monsters because he was removed from play."

"Fine," Apollyon said sounding irritated. "I summon Fear From the Dark in attack mode (DARK/4/Undead/Effect/1700/1500) Attack his Element Saurus."

Once again Davis felt horrible as his monster was consumed by its fears.

Davis smiled, "Every monster in Duel monsters has a story behind it, and this is my favorite. I Summon Getsu Fuhma (DARK/4/Warrior/Effect/1700/1200) the Demon Slayer."

Red haired woman of about 16 appeared wearing Samurai armor. She had a necklace of demon teeth.

"Her family was killed by a bunch of Demons and Zombies," Davis continued, "She met up with a Samurai named Mataza the Zapper, who trained her to be a Samurai Demon Slayer, and now she goes about killing Demons and Zombies seeking the one who killed her family. Attack Fear from the Dark!"

Getsu unsheathed her sword and struck the Ghoul, and it shattered in half.

"What, our monsters tied, why did yours survive?" Apollyon asked.

"I told you she's a Demon Slayer," Davis said. Getsu Fuhma picked up a tooth from the ground and added it to her necklace.

"I play Nightmare Steel Cage, and summon Baron of the Fiend Sword in attack mode. End Turn. (DARK/4/Demon/1750/1000)

A giant metal cage surrounded Davis, as an ugly aristocrat with horns appeared outside of the cage.

"I summon Getsu Fuhma's mentor Mataza the Zapper in attack mode (DARK/3/Warrior/Effect/1300/800) end turn."

"Your Getsu Fuhma is about to get her wish," Apollyon said, "I sacrifice my Baron to summon Ryu Kokki, the demon who killed Getsu Fuhma's Family!"

(DARK/6/Undead/Effect/2400/2000)

A giant snake made completely out of skeletons appeared on Apollyon's Field.

"I draw," Davis said, noticing the hatred Getsu had in her eyes as she saw the monster that killed her family.

"I summon Double Coston in defense mode. End turn, there goes your cage." (DARK/4/Undead/Effect/1700/1650)

"I play Change Of Heart to posses control of your Coston, and sacrifice it for my Invader of Darkness! (DARK/8/Demon/Effect/3100/2700) I then Play two cards facedown and attack your Getsu Fuhma with Ryu Kokki."

The two monsters charged into battle, there was an explosion as Getsu Fuhma's sword struck the demon snake. When the smoke cleared both monsters were gone.

Davis-8700LP

Apollyon-6600LP

"End turn," Apollyon sneered.

Davis drew, ("Getsu Fuhma, your family is avenged. Now why didn't he attack Mataza with that Invader? He's got plenty of strength for it.")

He glanced at the four cards in his hand and grinned.

"I sacrifice my Mataza, for Dark Magician Girl (DARK/6/Spellcaster/Effect/2200/1900)," Davis said, "In attack mode, I also play two cards face down. End Turn."

Unlike his prior Element Magician, DMG didn't seem as effected by Yami as EM. She was still her happy go lucky self.

"Fool!" Apollyon said, "Invader attack her!"

"Activate Rope of Life to discard the card in my hand and bring her back 800 points stronger." (3300/1900)

Davis-7800LP

Apollyon-6600LP

"The card in my hand was the Dark Magician!" Davis declared, "That makes my Dark Magician Girl 3300! Attack his Invader!"

"You've Triggered my face down cards Absolute End, and Inferno Tempest!"

"Absolute End will force your attack to my Life Points!"

Davis-7800LP

Apollyon-3300LP

"And Inferno Tempest will force us both to remove from play all monsters in our decks and graveyard when I take 3000 or more damage. While this does cause you to gain a lot of life points thanks to your soul absorption, it helps me more, for with your Dark Magician gone, your Dark Magician Girl (3000/1900) is weaker than my Invader!"

A huge storm of fire surrounded the two players and flew into their respective decks burning the cards in them.

Davis-37800LP

Apollyon-3300LP

"End turn," Davis said weakly. A rainbow colored vortex appeared on Davis's field and a small bluish colored mechanical Sphere emerged from it. It had two robotic arms. (DARK/2/Machine/Effect/800/1200)

Davis groaned at the sight of his D. D. Scout Plane. With only 800 attack points it was sure to get crushed easily.

"Now I summon a monster with attack points that would make the Egyptian God Cards shake and tremble: Gren Maju Da Eiza! (FIRE/3/Demon/Effect/13800/13800)"

A gigantic red demon with no mouth appeared and flexed its muscles, as well as flapped the wings on its back. Flames erupted on its clawed hands.

"Just give up Davis," Apollyon said laughing in his dark voice, you'll never defeat this monster!"

To Be Continued…

Author's Notes: Dang people need to stop submitting deck strategies that I already have planned for a character. Ah well, I'm nothing if not flexible, we should see your sage soon Seeker. I think you'll like him. I am going to have to make him a little younger though: all of the Sages are teenagers. (I'll explain why in a later episode) By the way, What is a Marshmelon? I've never heard of that card.
