The dragons have since been returned, however, two Seal Duels were occurring, Valon versus Jonouchi, and now Rain versus Lily.

"Grandpa! Grab the wire cutters from the drawer!" Rebecca yelled to the trailer. Arthur, who had remained inside, was the only one free, and thus was able to do what her granddaughter asked of her. Rain made that one minor mistake, but he let it pass.
After all... she's history...
He drew. "I summon Dando the Cursed (3/1200/2000) in Attack Mode!" A yellowish green rock like creature with a haunted demonic face appeared, letting out a cold deafening moan. The seal burns upon its forehead, and its red pupils within the black hollowed eyes appeared to shine even brighter.

"Once I'm done with you, your son is next."
"Boku no Shiri ni kisu siro!" Harry yelled.
"Yeah," Cassie shouted, "Jame Shinaide!"
"Bad mouths they got," Rain cackled.
If Kaiba could, he'd smack them over the head for using that language in front of Mokuba. The last he needed was Mokuba becoming more corrupted because of Harry and Cassie, even if they ARE his only true friends who would protect the boy.
"What about Jonouchi? He could be in trouble as we speak," Honda said.
"Ha. That boy who hold the card Hermos? Don't get me started on him. That other twerp Valon is probably dueling him right now with the Orichalcos, if not for Dartz, then for himself and Mai," Rain muttered.

Marshmallon can help me, Lily thought, as she adds the card to her hand.
"Alright now, I place two cards facedown, and set this monster in facedown Defense." Three cards materialize.
"Pathetic little mudblood, I know what you're up to," he said, drawing, "and unfortunately for you, I'm gonna have to stop you there. I summon Will 'o Wisp (4/500/500). And I use it to attack your facedown card!" The glowing fireball that appeared, changed to a green hue as it zipped across the field, and struck the facedown card. It shattered as Marshmallon was flipped to face-up Defense.
"Now, with Dando the Cursed, his monster ability allows him to destroy cards that would otherwise be undestroyable, so go and eliminate that wad of chewing gum!" Dando's attack missed. She discarded two cards from her hand, and summons Chaos Command Magician (6/2400/1900) in Attack Mode by replacing Marshmallon. With Magical Academy, it gained two levels, and five hundred extra points.
With a scowl, he however didn't forget the effect of Marshmallon. "I end this turn. Earlier when I had attacked your living foodstuff I discarded from my hand Nixie," He reveals the card which holds a skeleton warrior with a straight sword dripping in red liquid after it pops form the Graveyard slot, "this negates Monster Effect damage, so I don't lose one thousand Life Points." It's returned to the grave.
As Lily drew, a blast of fire surrounded her, frightening her before it faded. Then she gasped when she looked at her Life Point counter.

"What did you do to me?"
"Heh. That is the effect of Will 'o Wisp. At the end of the Battle Phase that this card has attacked, it is automatically destroyed afterward. It is then sent to the OPPOSITE graveyard. The holder of the card then receives five hundred LP damage to his or her Life Points, and at the end of your third turn it's removed from the game."
The heavy-dressed Spellcaster casts a dark glare at Rain. "Go, and eliminate Dando the Cursed!" Chaos spun his staff, and unleashed cutting waves of black energy that tore through the zombified looking rock monster, destroying it.

"Graceful Charity!" Rain smirked, as he sent from his hand after drawing, Ashtar the Emperor of Darkness, and his only trap card. It wont' be needed if he played his hand right. A sinister smile formed.
"I use TWO of my Monster Reborn. First I bring back your Marshmallon, and this man... he is Ashtar the Emperor of Darkness (7/3000/2000)! Next, I equip to Ashtar the Sword of Darkness, and summon to the field sacrificing the pink bubblegum monster my Baron Spider (6/2000/1950)!"

Appearing in a wave of darkness and from the ground were two fiends. The first was clad in a heavy cloak and demon armor. His face was that of a glowing white mask, and white slanted eyes that seem to radiate evil and malice. The helmet was crusted with the blood of his enemies killed, and spiked. He almost looked like the Shredder. A dark laugh left the lipless mouth fo this demonic man, as next to him was a muscled warrior with the same face-like mask. Only a turban is wrapped around his head. He wore clothes of that of a scientist, but they appeared to be ripped and wrapped tightly around large portions of his body were dirty bandages. Spiked gauntlets decorated his hands and arms, and around the boots this warrior wore.
Ashtar held out his hand, and he grasped the deadly sword, while appearing to the field are three spider-like monsters known as Kuo-Tao (4/1400/1400) that Rain Special Summoned. the Kuo-Tao was demon world tarantulas, and was half the size of an Acromantula.

And finally, The Seal of Orichalcos empowers all five of these demons. Lily was frightened. All of these monsters could do heavy damage to her.

Rain cackled evilly, while the others could stare in stunned reaction, getting freed in the process by Arthur and the wire cutters.
"Ashtar, take down his Chaos Command Magician, use the Sword of Dark Chaos to slice him in half!" Ashtar roars, charging the field through levitation and sliced Chaos Command Magician. The man cried as blood was spilled, before floating back. She has just activated Negate Attack from her hand to save her mage from destruction, but now Chaos Command Magician was bleeding from the cut. Ashtar laughed as the sword pulsated, coated in the blood of the enemy.

"I end my turn," said Rain, as Ashtar stood there with the blade angled to the ground to allow it to collect there in droplets.

The card she drew was Hermos. It was a lucky break, but the card was currently inactive. It meant that Jonouchi invoked its power. "You guys, I just drew Hermos, but the card image is grayscale!" Chaos Command Magician grunted, using the staff to stay standing. And then, the Legendary Dragon Cards begin to glow. It was a signal that Jonouchi has summoned Hermos.
"Now... I play this. This is a handy card known as Diffusion Wave-Motion! And I activate this with Chaos Command Magician! Go, and attack with Chaos Wave Scepter!" The man, though bleeding, released a battle cry as wind radiated form each sphere of energy the Spellcaster unleashed.
Rain snarled, and discarded the third card he drew from Graceful Charity, just as all of his monsters bit the dust. First the three spiders vanished followed by Baron Spider. Next, Ashtar unleashed a cry of extreme rage as he vanished from the field. As the destruction faded, the sword was lodged into the ground, which then wavered out of existence.
Normally, she wouldn't use swears unless she was angry, and right now... she was pissed. "What the fuck!?" Even Chaos Command Magician was angry at what should have happened never happened, clutching his battle wound.

Rain cackled wildly, as he casted a dark glare upon Lily. "You see mudblood, I fitted my deck with a few extra cards, not going over the limit of course, but they are useful. One such monster is called Devourer of Magic (1/100/100). This is a level one Fiend monster that when I discard out of my Deck, yes you heard right, I suffer no damage that damages my Life Points through the effects of a Spell or Trap card on that turn. So sorry, you may have saved yourself mudblood from getting attack by my powerful creatures, but I saved myself from losing this duel."
As she ended her turn, the glow faded around the dragon cards. Yami had a bad feeling about this.
=0=0=
Mai's motorcycle raced down the streets, as she ran down a Zombie Dragon that got in her way. I'm coming for you, Jonouchi, and when I find you, you're history!
Meanwhile back with the duel, things have gotten heated up. Despite being in a lot of pain, Jonouchi wasn't quitting the duel yet. He ended the turn. For Valon, he only had Burning Knuckle equipped, and Psychic Armor Head.

"So, I guess you couldn't find a monster powerful to take me on. That means your Life Points are wide open, mate." He clenches his armored fist with a grin, "and I got just the thing that can help me smash your Life Points to smithereens."
He drew, and with a quick look slaps it on the field. "I summon my Black Hole Shield (4/500/0) in Attack Mode!" Appearing was an arm gauntlet for the right arm, which had a ring with a black emptiness within it. Right away, it disassembles, and refits around his right arm. The Duel Disk had lowered slightly, to reveal the "black hole" on the armored gauntlet, which is now sealed behind a blast shield cap. Burning Knuckle glowed briefly, gaining two hundred more points for the appearance of another Armor monster.

Valon leaps across the field, and lands a left uppercut using this Battle Phase to attack using Burning Knuckle. He lost eleven hundred Life Points in direct damage. Next, he used Black Hole Shield's attack phase to land a hard blow to the stomach. And then, Psychic Armor Head, head butts the blonde's forehead making the blonde stumble back. Valon ends the turn with a card set facedown. Jonouchi passed with a card set on the field.
"Heh... still no luck? Alrighty then, I attack!" He launches forward, and lashes out once again with a right hook. However, the next attack was Burning Knuckle, and it was blocked with the facedown card activating. As a result, Jonouchi is now decked out in his own armor. The trap card used was Aura Armor.

"What in the world?"
"I'm hurt, but it was worth the risk... I had to get my Life Points lower than two thousand... and then... I could then use this. This is Aura Armor, a trap card you triggered I get decked out in my own suit fo armor, however, as an effect, this card is destroyed if I lose Life Points, thus also losing this duel... so, how about it Valon? Wanna go one more round?"
"One more round, winner-take-all?" Valon asks. A smile forms across his lips, "alright hotshot, you got a deal. One more battle..."
Thunder roared off in the distance, and both took their time to look towards that direction. Swirling storm clouds of black covered a general portion of downtown Domino, as lightning and thunder reigned. Soon, they saw something slowly rise from the distance.
=0=0=
Mai had stopped when she heard that sound, and looked behind her to see demonic gates rising high into the air.
=0=0=
The gate was as tall as a four story building, and seemed to completely block off the entire street from both sides. Its design was that of demonic region. Behind Rain, blood had pooled around Jaquio, which had then seeped toward the sword that was impaled in the ground when said demon made its appearance with Harry's fabled move so Cost Down and Monster Reborn. However, earlier in the duel, Lily used Mirror Force, and eliminated Funky Dynamite. His dogs also were killed in the trap assault. However, Jaquio refused to stay down, that is until a beam of black slashed through him by Chaos Command Magician before he collapsed to one knee, holding his chest which had clotted, but still the injury agitated him. The shattered mirrors of the forcefield was embedded into the body of the dead monster that should have been destroyed but wasn't. And now... it led to this... the Sword of Dark Chaos was awakened by the blood of Jaquio.
Soon the doors to the hell gate opens, and the haunted cries of the underworld now exits into the night air, filling the very area with death cries and shrieks. Lightning flashed across the gathering black clouds and thunder clapped ominously. Energy poured from the opened doors to the demon world... and then Yami was the first to catch the arm movement of the fallen monster Jaquio. His hand clenched, as electricity arced along the body, which slowly rose back, as if pulled by strings. Lily's breath was caught in her throat, a silent gasp. The others were absolutely terrified as this occurrence. Jaquio unleashed a hollow cry, as soon unknown material began to meld itself around him, completely absorbing him but leaving the head exposed. It grew larger, melting within the gates and fusing to the side of the two buildings. The head was just within the field of the Orichalcos.
The clouds opened with a powerful bolt of lightning racing down from the black sky and striking Jaquio's head, generating a brilliant flash of light. Everyone was blinded for a few moments but when the blinding light faded... Jaquio, resurrected from the Sword of Dark Chaos' energy, was nothing more than a skeletal remain, his head fried to a demon form... with the Orichalcos infesting the demon. The mouth of the demon opened up, and a ball of energy begins to build. With a cry, the energy attack was launched and it destroyed Chaos Command Magician, also sending her crashing into the barrier.

Lily growled, and grabbed done card and activates its effect. "When my monster is destroyed... I use this Trap... Michizure. And then I also use Rope of Life." She discarded what was left of her hand to the Graveyard; glad she had since set Hermos facedown. However... instead of being destroyed, Jaquio simply reverted to its secondary demonic form, as the eyes glow fierce with hatred, glaring down upon the revived and healed mage. It was then realized why, as Rain's snickering increased.

"When destroyed successfully, I can invoke its power, and keep it in play... for the tribute of half of my Life Points... I end my turn equipping this to my monster." Axe of Despair appeared in one of the disembodied hands, as the wings of this demonic entity grew larger.

"Damn... it's more powerful than my mage," she thought aloud. Then, she looked at her facedown. Hermos roared inside of her mind. The card she drew was useful.
This will help! "I activate Claw of Hermos!" The card rises, and vanished as the red dragon of legend appears releasing a powerful roar at the demon, "now, fuse together with my Firebird!" She summons it to the field, and both creatures swirled as a mix, until a sphere of light is left behind, and fired high into the air. It explodes, releasing the form of a fiery phoenix unleashing its prideful cry.
"Order of the Phoenix! With its light shining down Chaos Command Magician is empowered!" Firebird appeared in a flash of flames, and lands on the Spellcaster's shoulder, "and he is also treated as a Fire-attribute monster." Firebird released a call, and Chaos Command Magician smiles.

"Ha! It's still nothing! My demon is more powerful!"
"Oh yeah? Come to me The Stag of Light (6/1900/1700)!" The deck glows, before each monster she commands comes forth. First was a glowing deer with large antlers with a bloom of decorated lily flowers. Plus it was enveloped in a soft white aura, "The Lily of Life (6/1500/1300)!" The large living flower appears, and the little red-haired sprite peeks out, giggling, "The Wolf of Darkness (6/2400/2150)!" The next monster was that of a werewolf monster, growling softly at the demon. It looked like Remus Lupin during the full moon, "and finally The Grim of Death (6/2100/1600)!" The final monster looked like a furry grim monster, and ironically the Animagus form of Sirius Black, Cassie's father.
"How? How did you do that!?"
"By ending my turn, I can call upon the Order of the Phoenix. The Order of the Phoenix includes a stag, a lily flower, a wolf, and the grim." And surrounded by these creatures, Chaos Command Magician was ready to fight. Five monsters total on Lily's side of the field plus Firebird, who was only there because of the still-in-effect Spell Card Order of the Phoenix.

"Heh... still weak pathetic creatures!" Rain draws, "now, eliminate that lily now!"
"Did you forget my Lily's effect when it's destroyed?" The attack connected, and the red-haired sprite transformed into a sphere of light before shooting towards her Life Point counter, and melts into it.
"Oh shit," he muttered.

"No... You bitch!"
Lily flashed a wicked smile. "Chaos Command Magician! Attack now!"
The mage dashes across the field as Jaquio lash out with his clawed hands. However he jumped out of the way, but immediately backflipped when it releases a stream of smaller energy blasts from its mouth. Gritting his teeth the heavy dressed monster jumped into the air and unleashed a blast of energy destroying the head, causing the hands to explode into bloody gore, but a stream of energy fires form the stump and Chaos Command Magician ducks and weaves through the blasts. Forming the same cutting beam, he slices through the crystal sphere the spider fingers clutch deep within the demon's hollowed snake-like form, and a crack formed. Once more... and it shattered.
Chaos Command Magician back tracks away as explosions ripped through the demonic form, and then exploded chunk by chunk. As the dust settled, the sword nearby shook as an aura flashed through it. Cracks formed along the blade, beams of light escaping from the thicker looking cracks. They were increasing rapidly before finally it shatters away into tiny shards, disintegrating into nothingness. The clouds grew intense with thunder and lightning as the gates slowly rumble with that eerie sound, and seals completely with a heavy echoing crash. It evaporates away like a wavering mist, as the black clouds high above dissipate, revealing the star-lit skies once again. All electricity in the area slowly switches back on, illuminating the dark city once again.

"That was my best cards... no, how could you mudblood bitch!? HOW DARE YOU!"
The monsters at her command, attack Rain, however he smiled.
"NEGATE ATTACK!"
They were all recoiled back. He cackled, as he drew, and smiled. First, he had no choice but to use Treasure from Heaven. The draws were good for him, as Lily refilled her hand as well.
"Now, activate Monster Reborn and Life Energy Ritual. From my hand, I sacrifice Scientist Clancy and one Life Energy Card... with Monster Reborn, I immediately Tribute Ashtar as well. And now, I can call forth Clancy's demonic form... in scarlet fiend armor!" Life Energy Ritual activates, and the monsters vanished. The card shatters, as growing from the ground was Clancy in his scarlet demon armor and alien-like form. And then, the Orichalcos fills him with more energy.

"Eliminate his weaker monsters!"
"Waboku!" The three priestesses blocked the attack.
Rain scowled, and ends his turn. Lily drew. "Pot of Greed, Dian Keto the Cure Master, and Offerings to the Doomed! Goodbye Clancy!" The monster roared as it was destroyed, as its remained fell to the ground. Rain just smiled as Lily drew two more cards from the first Spell's effect. Soon, the same thing happened that Cassie was forced to witness. The alien form of the next stage comes forth from the now growing remains, unleashing a powerful shriek as the Orichalcos fills it with more power.

"What is that thing?" Anzu questioned.
"The same demon that Jonouchi and I encountered the first time... it's also one of Clancy's second forms... from Ninja Gaiden III," replied Cassie.
She ended her turn.
Rain smiled and drew. "Clancy, eliminate the grim now!"
Got ya! Clancy shrieks as it releases a ball of energy it builded in its left hand. The grim howls as it collapse to the ground, hurt.

"When my Grim is destroyed... his monster effect activates!'
"What monster effect?" Rain growled.
A smile formed. "The Grim of Death is the Spell counterpart to Michizure!" The grim howls into the sky, as chains of darkness burst from the cement, and wraps around the creature. It was snarling in rage as it tried to get free, but it was soon dragged down to its death as Grim vanishes.
"Yes! She did it!" Otogi cheered.
"Nope... she's unleashed its ultimate form," said Honda.
"Oh crap," said Mokuba.
The video gamers knew what was going to happen next. Soon the entire area began to shake. It was an earth quake as fissures cracked the street. More formed behind as the street explodes, sending debris and broken asphalt, sewer pipes, and the likes flying into the sky and crashing. Two buildings were destroyed as appearing before, towering over them all with Rain standing on top, was Clancy's final form, letting loose a metallic cry of rage.

What about Rafael and Draco? Find out in the upcoming first chapter of 2009. R&R! Oh, and if you are wondering what the translation for the Japanese text is... you figure it out. =3
