Ok, what's gotten into Ali...it's like he's a completly different person.

No matter. I've got to stop him otherwise Jas and the others will get killed. Along with hunders of other innocent people.

Hope this counts as an excuse for being a little late.

"All right Ali. I don't know what's happened to you, or what the hells going on with this ring of fire, but I am not going to allow you to destroy innocent lives."

Jaffa got into his duelling stance.

"Even if that means taking you out in the process."

Ali laughed.

"You can try dear brother. Oh you can try." he said as he got ready to duel.

"Duel!"

(Jaffa: 8000) (Ali: 8000)

"All right then I'll go first." Jaffa said drawing.

"First up, I play the Field Spell, Necrovalley!"

The alleyway changed into a rocky valley, leaving Ali and Jaffa standing on two rocky pedestals. The ring of fire remained.

"I'm sure you know what this does. But in case you've forgotten, here's a little reminder. It powers up all of my Gravekeeper's monsters by 500 points in both attack and defense. Also, neither of us can touch the cards in our Graveyards. That means no removing from play or ressurrections."

"I'm well aware of what your little Field Spell does Jaffa." Ali said with a snear. "And I am more than prepared for it."

Jaffa simply smirked.

"I summon out my Gravekeeper's Commandant in attack mode."

A man wearing an Anubis styled helmet, black jacket and golden under armour appeared, wielding a serpent topped staff. (1600, 1500) - (2100, 2000)

"I'll end my turn with a face-down, and the Continuous Spell card, Field Barrier."

The valley around them took on a more glistening shine.

"Now you have to destroy my Field Spell twice." said Jaffa.

"Then I take it its my move?" Ali asked making his draw.

"And I summon out my Solar Flare Dragon, then I play double summon, and bring out, guess what? Another Solar Flare Dragon."

Two of the fiery serpents appeared in front of Ali. (1500, 1000)

"Next I play two face-down cards. End Phase. You take 1000 points of damage!"

The two serpents launched a barrage of fireballs that collided with Jaffa.

"Aaarrghh!" Jaffa yelled as the fires burned him.

This is definitely not good. Jaffa thought to himself. This is real. Only one way this duel can be real...well two but Ali ain't Psychic.

"What are... we doing in a... Shadow Game?" Jaffa asked as he stood back up.

Ali laughed and laughed.

"He thinks we're in a Shadow Game...oh that's rich." he said wiping away a tear.

"No this isn't a little wimpy Shadow Game...this is a Hell Duel! The very energies of the Underworld itself is being pitted against you." Ali said with a sway of his arms.

He's calling the Shadow Games wimpy? Ok, scratch my last thought, this is SERIOUSLY not good. Jaffa thought to himself.

(J: 7000) (A: 8000)

"My draw then." said Jaffa.

"Before you make your move, I activate my two face-downs. Say hello to Backfire times two!"

The two cards lifted up to reveal two men chopping down on something exploding in their face.

"Great." said Jaffa as he went over his cards.

"I've got to get past that Solar lock...but with those Backfires on the field, the minute one goes to the graveyard I'm gonna take 1000 points of damage." Jaffa muttered.

Then an idea hit him.

"I place one card face-down in defence mode, and place another card face-down."

"Your move Ali."

Ali drew and tutted.

"Poor poor Jaffa. You really think I'll fall for a trap that obvious? That face-down monster of yours is obviously your Gravekeeper's Guard in defence mode. I attack it you flip it up and bang goes my Solar Lock."

Then Ali got a strange look in his eye.

"Well too bad. I play Nobleman of Crossout. This removes from play your monster without flipping it over. And any other copy of the same flip effect monster in your deck is automatically removed from play."

A warrior in silver armour appeared and sliced down the middle of Jaffa's face-down card.

The monster revealed was a bald man in a black robe.

"Ha, ha, you see? I was right, I told you so." Ali said to the air. "Now remove the other copies of that card from your deck."

But no cards ejected themselves from Jaffa's deck.

"Um, is there some kind of malfunction? I said remove the cards from your deck."

Jaffa chortled.

"Your assuming they're in my deck. That's Nobleman's weakness. The other copies have to be in the Deck, doesn't state anything about the hand." Jaffa said waving the card in his hand like a fan.

"What? You managed to draw all your copies of Guard in one go? That's impossible." Ali looked as if his head was going to explode.

"I could say the same thing about your field's set-up." Jaffa said. "The ideal burn position."

"Hold on...you've only got two copies in your deck?" Ali asked. "I thought you had three."

Jaffa shrugged.

"Decks change. Had to make room for something a little more useful...but we'll get to that in due time." said Jaffa.

"Grrr...never mind. I now summon out my third Solar Flare Dragon. End Phase. You take 1500 points of damage." said Ali.

"Damn it." Jaffa muttered. "This is gonna hurt." he said shielding himself again as three fireball barrages flew towards him and exploded all around him.

"Aarggh!" he cried out.

Jaffa stood there as the smoke cleared, his chest heaving with every breath.

Sindor appeared next to him.

"You want me to take control here? I'm more resistant to pain than you are."

Jaffa shook his head.

"Thanks, but we don't want to tip our hand just yet...if this really is a Hell Duel, then that means that the Dark Entity that Gaia warned us about has gotten to Ali...If he found out about the extent of the connection between us... our back-up plan may not work."

Sindor sighed and nodded.

"Ok, we'll do this your way. Just be careful." he said before vanishing.

"You still with us brother? I would hate for our duel to be ended prematurely." Ali taunted.

(J: 5500) (A: 8000)

"How's this for an answer?" Jaffa asked as he drew.

"I play one card face-down, and then play a monster in defence mode."

The last two cards in his hand appeared on the field.

"Your move Ali." said Jaffa. "And I know you can only have one Nobleman in your deck so you've lost your window."

"Hmm, maybe. But where one window closes, another one opens." Ali said as he drew.

"I believe that saying involves doors. Not windows." Jaffa corrected.

Ali just looked at him.

"You're correcting me...in the middle of a life or death duel?" he asked...before laughing like a madman.

Then he suddenly stopped laughing.

"Let's get on with this. I play the spell card, Pot of Greed. This allows me to draw two cards. And I think I'll play one of them now. The Continuous Spell card, Dark Room of Nightmare."

A dark room appeared behind Ali.

"Now every time effect damage is inflicted, you take another 300 points each time. So that means that each of my Solar Flare will now be dealing you 800 points of damage."

Then a weird look came over his face.

"But first, I've got to do a little house cleaning. Solar Flare attack his face-down monster."

The serpent in the middle spat out a fireball, that was then bounced back at Ali as the face-down monster revealed a bald man in a black robe wielding a staff. (1000, 1900) - (1500, 2400)

"Now one of your serpents is bounced back to your hand...the one on the left I think." Jaffa said.

Gravekeeper's guard pointed his staff at the Solar Flare on the left, and blasted it back into Ali's hand.

"No matter. I still have my summon this turn." said Ali.

Dark clouds gathered over-head.

"I sacrifice my two Solar Flare Dragons to call forth my ultimate beast of destruction!"

The two dragons tried to slither away before two chains slammed through them from the ground below and into the sky.

The chains started to rattle and creak as they started to pull something out from the ground below.

The holes made by the chains expanded until they formed a gaping hole in the ground.

Then Jaffa saw something coming out of the hole, being pulled up by the chains.

It was a giant baby with spikes protruding from its flesh, its eyes and every other orifice.

It's skin was paler than white, with lumps of it clearly in the process of decaying.

It then looked at Jaffa with both of its eyes and gave a hideous giggle. (3000, 1800)

Those eyes had the same look in them that Ali's did.

"That's that baby from the visions!" Jaffa exclaimed.

Ali laughed even more...and so did the baby.

"That's right! Meet my newest toy Jaffa! It's called Hells Demon - Tortured Baby and through its power, this world will burn at our Master's feet!" Ali said in an echoing voice.

"Not a chance." said Jaffa.

"Oh and I haven't told you the best part yet. Tortured Baby's summon just there wasn't a Normal Summon, it was a Special Summon. So I can still summon back the Solar Flare you sent back into my hand."

The serpent of fire returned. (1500, 1000)

"Now then, Hells Demon - Tortured Baby, destroy his Gravekeeper's Commandant!"

The baby looked at the Gravekeeper with a face of glee and malice, raised its right arm, and fired all the spikes from its flesh into the monster.

"Shit!" said Jaffa as he dodged the rest of the spikes flying his way.

"Oh that's no fun." Ali pouted. "My baby's spikes were supposed to hit you. Now you've made him sad."

The demonic baby was crying, but it was crying buckets of its own blood.

"Yuck." Jaffa said. "Don't think Oliver's gonna love his new...sibling very much." Jaffa settled for after looking the baby over top to bottom to determine the gender.

"How dare you say that about my child! And Oliver will just have to learn to love his new baby brother." Ali said holding onto one of the demon's fingers like a dad does with their kid.

"Okay...you've clearly had one too many drinks." Jaffa said to himself.

"Oh and now onto the best bit now. Once per turn, if all the monsters in my grave are of the same attribute, I can inflict 1000 points of damage to you. Burn him baby, burn!"

The baby's mouth opened up and shot out a stream of fire at Jaffa.

Jaffa got ready to block or dodge the fire as needed, but then Guard got in the way of the fire.

"You didn't have to do that." he said to the now burnt spellcaster.

The monster just shook his head, as if saying it did have to.

"How touching. But thanks to Dark Room of Nightmare, you now take another 300 points of damage."

A sliver of darkness shot out and sliced across Jaffa's right shoulder, drawing blood.

"Now for my End Phase. Solar Flare Dragon, make him even crispier."

The dragon spat out a barrage of fire, that Jaffa stood through.

"And again, Dark Room of Nightmare kicks in."

Another sliver of darkness shot out, this time slicing across Jaffa's left leg.

"Your turn brother." Ali said.

(J: 2300) (A: 7100)

"My turn then. And I activate my face-down card, Rite of Spirit. This card is unaffected by Necrovalley. Now I get to bring back one of my Gravekeepers that's in my Graveyard. I choose my Commandant."

The armoured spellcaster appeared once more onto the field. (1600, 1500) - (2100, 2000)

If I take out his Solar Flare Dragon, I'll lose 1600 life points because of those Backfires and his Dark Room card...the main problem is that...thing of his. Jaffa thought to himself.

Then he looked at the card he drew, then at his two face-downs.

"Maybe, just maybe..." he said to himself.

"Hey Ali, what Attribute would you say you're Baby is?" Jaffa asked.

"It's Dark, why do you ask?" Ali asked in return a little confused.

"Perfect. Cus I summon out my Gravekeeper's Assailant!"

A ninja-like Gravekeeper appeared next to Gravekeeper's Guard. (1500, 1500) - (2000, 2000)

"Now, I attack your Hells Demon, with my Assailant!"

The Assailant leapt into the air as the Baby fired a mass of spikes at her.

"But my Baby has more attack points than your Assailant!" Ali declared.

"True. But not enough defense points. Whilst Necrovalley is on the field, my ninja here, can choose the battle position of the monster she's attacking. I think your baby's going for a pretty damn long nap."

The giant demon suddenly fell on its side and suckled on its thumb as Assailant sliced the demon down the left eye.

It screamed in pain before it burst into pixels.

"My baby! You killed my baby!" Ali cried.

"Yup. And now it's the rest of your monsters turn. Commandant, wipe out that blasted Solar Flare Dragon."

The armored spellcaster pointed its staff at the lizard and fired a ball of mystic energy destroying it.

"You're forgetting my trap and magic cards."

The two traps shot out a ball of fire each and the Dark Room sent out two slivers of dark energy.

"I haven't forgotten. I activate my two face-downs. Go Nature's Reflection! Whenever you activate a card that would inflict me damage, you take the damage instead. And I'm targeting your two Back-fires."

Two blocks of stone covered in vines appeared in front of the fireballs, and bounced them right back at Ali. The slivers of shadow petered out and vanished.

"What?" Ali shouted before his own traps attacked him.

"I end my turn Ali." Jaffa said as the smoke cleared.

"End Phase. If all the monsters in my graveyard, except my Hells Demon are of the same attribute, I can ressurect it." Ali said.

"Um, in case you haven't noticed, Necrovalley stops ressurections. Your Baby is staying down there this time." Jaffa said.

"Arrgghh!" Ali roared as he drew.

"I activate Demonic Wrath of Abaddon! This wipes the field clear of every Spell, Trap and all but one monster card on the opponents side of the field, and negates destruction prevention effects. Also, if I was unable to restore a Hells Demon to life last turn due to my opponent's card effect, I get to bring it back to the field this turn, but it can't attack or use its effect. And you lose half of your Life points."

A vortex opened up underneath their feet and shot out bolts of fiery lightning, destroying every Spell and Trap card on the field...including Necrovalley.

"Craaap." Jaffa moaned as the Hells Demon returned to the field, his Gravekeeper's returned to their base scores and the wind ripped at his clothes.

"Now choose which Gravekeeper shall remain." Ali growled.

"I choose my Gravekeeper's Guard." Jaffa said.

The bald man nodded as he stared down the demon. The other two nodded and went to the graveyard in a breeze of dust.

"You're move brother."

(J: 1150) (A: 5500)

"I draw." said Jaffa. "And I call forth my Gravekeeper's Visionary."

Guard nodded his head at Jaffa as he went to the graveyard.

And out from the shadows stepped forth a man dressed in a white and black robe, with black trimmed with gold pauldrons, gauntlets, chestplate and a helmet shaped like Anubis. (2000, 1800) - (2600, 1800)

"I end my turn Ali." said Jaffa, readying himself for the inevitable attack.

"How the mighty have fallen. The Gravekeeper's have failed in their duty to keep safe the secrets of the Underworld and protect the Tombs of the world." intined Ali. "Now witness the power that we should wield as Chosen dear brother. The power that is our right!"

"Burn his Life points away, then crush the last Gravekeeper!"

The demon breathed a stream of fire directly at Jaffa, who stood there as it enveloped him. Then Visionary leapt forward and sent a blast of energy that carved out the already damaged eye (the one Assailant had attacked earlier.).

The demon cried in pain and swatted the man away before destroying it underneath a barrage of spikes.

The Gravekeeper put up a valiant defence withstanding many of the spikes...but in the end he burst into pixels with the last spike.

Ali pulled the hood of his cloak back up.

Jaffa dropped to his knees as his life points hit zero.

"Ali, why?" he asked, steam coming off of his body from the scorch marks on his clothes and all around him.

Ali just laughed in a possessed sounding voice.

"Brother, do you see what I mean now? What we have been missing out on?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Jaffa holding his hand out to try to get to the detonator in Ali's hand.

"Jaffa my weak brother, you will soon see what I mean." Ali said, smirking under his hood.

"Time to take him away." he said holding out his other hand.

The ground in-between the two men started to crack and shift, a red glow started to form in the shape of satanic star. Suddenly several chains burst out from under the ground and wrapped themselves around Jaffa.

"What the hell are you playing at Ali?" Jaffa cried struggling against the chains.

"Do not worry brother, you will not die. It will start to feel good soon."

"With your help we can turn the rest of the chosen" Ali explained to Jaffa who was beginning to freak out about now.

The chains that were wrapped around Jaffa now started to retract back into the ground, dragging him along the way.

The satanic symbol seemed to become a portal and he was being dragged towards it.

"Not this again! Not again!" Jaffa shouted desperately trying to claw away but the chains were far too powerful and just continued to drag him.

The chains finally dragged him through and under the hole which sealed up the second he passed through the portal in the ground.

The symbol vanished and the ground returned to normal with Ali turning around and walking away from the alley laughing as he did so.

"Fool. He really should pay closer attention to joke detonators." he said flipping the switch, opening a sweet dispenser.

"Jaffa...Jaffa."

Jaffa groaned as he woke up. His eyesight was blurred but was slowly clearing.

"Jaffa wake up!"

"Wha...what happened?" he asked as he slowly got up.

Jaffa saw Sindor standing over him.

"Take my hand." Sindor said. "Better yet, you had probably stay seated. Wouldn't want you to fall."

"Sindor, you know very well I can't grab your hand. You're a damned spirit." Jaffa said, still a little groggy.

Sindor then tapped him on the head.

"Okay...now I'm worried." Jaffa said.

He took a quick look around. The place looked like a plateau, covered in pillars of what looked like rock.

"Where the hell are we?" Jaffa asked.

"Well Jaffa, we're definitely not in Kansas anymore." said Sindor.

Jaffa glared and growled at Sindor.

"I gathered that genius."

Jaffa could see fires in the distance.

"Hold on...that duel with Ali...was a Hell Duel, we were dragged through a portal made by a Pentagram..."

Then his mark began to glow erratically.

"Something's coming... Sindor, try and get back inside." Jaffa said, pointing at his head.

"I'll try..." said Sindor.

Sindor closed his eyes and focused. He slowly became more and more ghost-like. Then he walked into Jaffa.

"Brrr...ok, that was weird." said Jaffa.

Then he spotted what was coming towards him.

It looked vaguely humanoid, and was moving between the rock pillars. Until it came up to his one.

It didn't have any descernable features, besides the outline of its body, 2 horns upon its head curling backwards, 2 curling forwards under the first two, eyes of fire and swirling lines of energy upon its body and the tattered wings on its back.

It then began to move closer to Jaffa, and shrunk down to his size.

Jaffa could see that the two under-horns were really snakes. The tattered wings transformed into a tattered cloak. And it was wearing combat boots...edged in fire.

"Who are you?" Jaffa asked, getting ready to pull out his Duel Blade.

The being considered this for a moment.

"Well, I suppose given your worlds background...you could call me The Devil."

Dun-dun-dun! Hope you enjoyed this newest chapter.
