Ryan sat in a large throne room. It was a large, spacious room. Its walls and floors were made of a black stone material. The walls were made of the same black stone and a few windows were cut in the sides. There was a dull red colored carpet that lead right up to the throne.
The throne was placed on a pedestal. The throne itself was more spectacular than the room. Its frame was made completely of gold. The arm rests and legs of the chair were made of fine mahogany. Also gems were incrusted along the top frame.
Ryan was sitting on the throne looking on a long list. "Ah, so many to kill, so little time." he said to himself.
"You seem pleased my master." said Jenny, who had been standing next to Ryan's throne.
Ryan laughed. "Why wouldn't I be!" he shouted with glee. "I've got my castle, my loyal servants. I have that idiot Chancellor Arthur and those other fools outnumbered, and I'm only a few steps away from ruling this world." Ryan looked back down at the list he held. "There are just a few people I'd like to kill first."
"My I ask who the pathetic fools are?" asked Jenny.
"Well Andrew and Arthur, obviously." replied Ryan. "Then there is those other two, Brian and Rachel. Then there is Trevor and Professor. And final, there is that Oliver kid."
"I don't understand why you hate him so much." said Jenny. Ryan sighed.
"He just reminds me so much of Andrew, and I really hate Andrew and anything that reminds me of him!" Ryan shouted. "At first he was just a very minor annoyance. But now, he has cost me servants that I've needed." Ryan stopped for a moment. "I suppose that I shouldn't have put that reward on his head. May then I would have lost so many servant to him. But anyway, he must die."
Jenny looked at her master and bowed. "Shall I destroy him, my master?" she asked. Ryan was started by this question, He hadn't been expecting that. "There is no way the retch could beat me." she added. "Not with the deck you gave me.
Ryan was silent for a moment. "Yes, you may." he finally said.
"Thank you, master." Jenny said, bowing again. She walked from the throne room.
"Be careful, my love." Ryan said in almost a whisper.
Jenny turned and smiled at him. "Don't worry. I will."
There were great changes at Duel Academy. First off, all of the students were moved to the main building to prevent students from being trapped in their dorms. Second, the main building itself was turned into a fortress. The front doors had been barricaded and so had some of the ground floor windows. Also, the students had been able to dig a small trench around the main build to
break up any marching formations. Most of them didn't think Ryan would send his servants marching in a formation, but no chances were being taken.
Then students were group into groups of three people and preformed such tasks as scouting and patrol. These groups had had a few skirmishes with some of Ryan's servants but casualties were at a low. But one fear on the minds of everyone was a siege. The food stores were very large, because it was an island and islands can be isolated from the main land easily and for long periods of time. But the food stores wouldn't last forever.
It had been a few days since the so-called-war had begun. Oliver found himself on patrol with Roberto and Johnny. They had been told to skirt the woods close to Ryan's castle to observe any movements of Ryan's servants. Then they were to patrol the area round the main build to check for any sneak attacks.
They had observed Ryan's castle for two hours and seeing nothing, moved onto patrolling the main building. So far, nothing had happened. The local wildlife had seemed to have disappeared too. As they walked, they had their hands on their decks, ready for any attack that should come. They were walking in a triangle formation with Oliver in front, Roberto on the left, and Johnny on the right.
"I don't think I can take much more of this." Roberto whispered.
"Quite!" snapped Johnny. "You need to keep quite!"
"I am!" retorted Roberto in a whisper. "I was just saying that I wish something would happen."
"Be careful Roberto." Oliver whispered. "You might just get your wish granted. Suddenly, a line of black flame appeared out of nowhere, separating Oliver from Johnny and Roberto. "What the?! Where did this come from?"
"From me," Oliver turned to see Jenny standing on the path in front of him.
Oliver recognized her. "Hey, your that Jenny person that Alexandra beat in the Miss Duel Academy contest.
Jenny glared at Oliver, causing the black flames to jump into the sky. "Don't remind me!" she growled. "Now, down to business you retch. You have been problem to my lover, Master Ryan, for a long time. I am here to kill you!" She waved her hand and black flames encircled both of them. "I'm sure you know what happens next." Jenny said, activated her duel disk. Oliver nodded and activated his duel disk. "Since this is your last duel, I'll let you go first."
"Cocky aren't you." said Oliver as he drew a card. "I summon Apprentice-Swordsman in attack mode (1400/1200). Next, I activate the spell card The A. Forces! This will increase all of my warrior monsters attack points by 200 for each warrior or spellcaster monster on the field." Apprentice-Swordsman's attack rose to 1600. "I place one card facedown and end my turn."
Jenny drew a card. "I summon Guardian Sycamore in attack mode (1900/1400). Attack his Apprentice-Swordsman, my Guardian Sycamore!"
"I activate the trap card Warrior Shield!" shouted Oliver as a large shield appeared in front of Apprentice-Swordsman and protected it from Guardian Sycamore's attack. "This will keep my monster from being destroyed and negates all battle damage."
"I place one card facedown and end my turn." said Jenny. The shield in front of Apprentice-Swordsman disappeared.
Oliver drew a card. "I summon Lance Guard in attack mode (1700-2100/1200)(AS 1600-1800). Now my Lance Guard will destroy your Guardian Sycamore!"
"I activate the trap Entrapment of Evil Roses!" shouted Jenny. "Now all none plant type monsters can't attack for three turns." Roses appeared on the field and vines wrapped around Lance Guard and Apprentice-Swordsman.
"Crap." muttered Oliver. He looked down at his hand. "I end my turn."
Jenny drew a card. "I summon Spell Eating Rose in attack mode (1300/1500)." A large rose with several vines attached to it appeared on the field. "Its effect activates now! When it is summoned, all spell cards are destroyed!" Oliver's The A. Forces was destroyed, and his monster's attack points dropped to their original points. "Now my Guardian Sycamore will destroy your Apprentice-Swordsman!" Guardian Sycamore lifted one of its roots out of the ground and destroyed Apprentice-Swordsman. Oliver's life points dropped from 4000-3500. "I place one facedown and end my turn."
Oliver drew a card. "I summon Blade Blaster in attack mode (1400/1750)! I activate its effect! Once per turn, I can destroy one spell or trap. So I destroy your Entrapment of Evil Roses!" Blade Blaster jumped forward and sliced the trap card apart and it disappeared. "My Blade Blaster will now destroy your Spell Eating Rose!" Blade Blaster jumped forward again and sliced Spell Eating Rose into pieces. Jenny's life points dropped from 4000-3900. "I switch Lance Guard to defense mode and end my turn."
Jenny drew a card. "I summon Decaying Rose in attack mode (1800/0). So now my Guardian Sycamore will destroy your Blade Blaster!" Guardian Sycamore destroyed Blade Blaster and Oliver's life points dropped from 3500-3000. "Now my Decaying Rose will destroy your Lance Guard!" Decaying Rose destroyed Lance Guard and Oliver's life points dropped from 3000-2500. "That was the effect of my Decaying Rose. When it destroys a monster, you lose an extra 500 life points. I end my turn."
Oliver drew a card. "I summon Master of Twin Swords in attack mode (1900/0). Now my Master of Twin Swords will destroy your Decaying Rose!" Master of Twin Swords ran forward and destroyed Decaying Rose. Jenny's life points dropped from 3900-3300. "Now my Master of Twin Swords will now make a suicide attack on your Guardian Sycamore! Master of Twin Swords attacked Guardian Sycamore and both monsters were destroyed. "I place one card facedown and end my turn."
Jenny drew a card. "I summon Rose Girl-Amber in attack mode (1300/1200). Now my Rose Girl-Amber will attack you directly!"
"I activate the trap card Magical Cylinder!" shouted Oliver. "This will send your attack back to your life points!"
Jenny growled in annoyance as her life points dropped from 3300-2000. "I end my turn." she growled.
Oliver drew a card. "I activate the field spell Warrior's Training Ground." said Oliver as the field spell appeared around them. "Next, I summon Apprentice-Bowman in attack mode (800-1100/1300). My Warrior's Training Ground gives all of my warrior monsters 300 extra attack points. I place one card facedown and end my turn."
Jenny drew a card. "I remove Decaying Rose and Spell Eating Rose to summon Devin the Magical Gardener in attack mode (2000/2000). Devin the Magical Gardener will now destroy your Apprentice-Bowman!" Devin the Magical Gardener moved in to attack but was stopped by a force field.
"Another effect of my Warrior's Training Ground activated." said Oliver. "Any monster with 'Apprentice' in its name can't be attacked by a monster with 5 stars or more."
"Fine then," huffed Jenny in anger. "Rose Girl-Amber will destroy your monster then." Rose Girl-Amber ran towards Apprentice-Bowman.
"No, because I activate my facedown trap Warrior's Equipment!" shouted Oliver. "This will give my monster an extra 500 attack points!" Apprentice-Bowman's attack points rose to 1600. It easily knocked away Rose Girl-Amber's attack and destroyed it. Jenny's life points dropped from 2000-1700
"Well, the effect of my Rose Girl-Amber activates." said Jenny. "When she is sent to the graveyard, I can special summon Rose Girl-Kari in attack mode (1400/1600). I end my turn."
Oliver drew a card. "I activate the effect of my Apprentice-Bowman! If I sacrifice it, I can summon my Master-Bowman in attack mode (1900/2800)." A man wearing chain mail, grey pants and holding a large bow appeared on the field. "Now my Master-Bowman will attack your Rose Girl-Kari!" Master-Bowman fired a large arrow at Rose Girl-Kari and destroyed it. Jenny's life points dropped from 1700-1200.
"The effect of my Rose Girl-Kari activates!" shouted Jenny. "When it sent to the graveyard, I can special summon Rose Girl-Alice in attack mode (1200/1500)."
"Well guess what? The effect of my Master-Bowman activates!" said Oliver. "When a monster is special summoned, he is allowed to attack it!" Master-Bowman fired a second arrow at Rose Girl-Alice, destroying her. Jenny's life points dropped from 1200-700. "I will finish my turn by
playing Lightning Vortex, so your Devin the Magical Gardener will be destroyed." said Oliver as light rained down and destroyed Devin the Magical Gardener. "I end my turn."
Jenny drew a card. "I summon Exploder Rose in attack mode (1000/1000). Then activate the spell card The Three Points of Rose! I remove Rose Girl-Amber, Rose Girl-Kari, and Rose Girl-Alice from play and send my Exploder Rose to the graveyard to summon Goddess of Roses in attack mode (3500/2500). Now my Goddess of Roses will destroy your Master-Bowman!" Goddess of Roses destroyed Master-Bowman with its whip and Oliver's life points dropped from 2500-900. "You'll be glad to know that I'm done." Jenny sneered.
Oliver drew a card. "I activate the spell card Pot of Greed! This allows me to draw two cards." Oliver drew two cards. He smiled and held up two cards. "These two cards will help me win." he said.
Jenny laughed. "You're bluffing. And it was a bad bluff at that."
"Trust me. This is no bluff." said Oliver. "I summon card number one, Marauding Captain in attack mode (1200/400). Then, his effect allows me to summon card number two, Exiled Force in attack mode (1000/1000)."
"Oh crap!" shouted Jenny.
"I activate the effect of my Exiled Force! I tribute it so I can destroy your Goddess of Roses!" shouted Oliver as Exiled Force dissolved and Goddess of Roses shattered. "Now, Marauding Captain, end this duel!" Marauding Captain ran forward and slashed Jenny. Her life points dropped to 0.
At that exact same moment Jenny's life points hit 0, Ryan felt a severe jolt of pain in his heart. He gasped and clutched at his chest. He knew what that meant.
"No." he whispered. "No! IT CAN'T BE!" he shouted and disappeared in a ball of black fire.
Oliver watched as Jenny was completely surrounded by the black flame. Jenny was panicking, but seemed dazed. Oliver was going to turn away when a second pillar of black fire appeared. A boy stepped out of it and stepped next to Jenny.
"No!" he shouted. "No, Jenny! You said you wouldn't lose!"
"I sorry master." she said as her body was eating by flame. "Ryan, I love you." And with those final words, Jenny was consumed by the darkness. Ryan fell to the ground, and started to sob.
Oliver stepped back. Ryan's head jerked up. His eyes were glowing black, and his face was contorted with rage and hatred. A black aura appeared around him and it grew larger and larger until it exploded outward pushing up a large cloud of dust that nearly knocked Oliver, Johnny, and Roberto over.
Andrew's head jerked to the direction of the confrontation. He saw the huge dust cloud.
"Oh my…" he whispered and ran as fast as he could towards the dust cloud.
Ryan was off the ground and was glaring at Oliver. "You will pay for this!" he shouted. "You will DIE!" The bandages around Ryan's right arm came off. His arm looked as if it was burned horribly. It was jet black and rough. His five fingers ended in sharp claws. He held out his right arm and a black ball of energy appeared in it. "Prepare to die!" He threw the ball of energy at Oliver.
Oliver was able to jump out of the way before it hit the ground where he had been standing. It caused the ground to explode.
"Run guys!" Oliver shouted to Roberto and Johnny. Oliver had to dodge another energy ball. "He only wants to kill me! Run, dang it, RUN!" Oliver stumbled and fell over.
Ryan threw another ball of dark energy at him. "Prepare to die!" he shouted. Oliver knew he could dodge this one and braced for death. Suddenly a ball of blue energy came out of nowhere and hit the black energy ball. It blew up in mid air.
"WHO DARES INETERFIER!?" Ryan shouted at the top of his voice. He turned in the direction of where the energy came from. Andrew stepped into sight. "You!" he shouted. Ryan threw a dark energy ball at Andrew, but Andrew caught it and it disappeared. Ryan glared at Andrew then at Oliver. Then he suddenly grinned wickedly.
"Alright, I wouldn't kill you yet." he said. "But you will feel my pain, but ten timed more." Ryan disappeared in a pillar of black flame.
Andrew looked down at Oliver, who was still on the ground. "Kid, what did he mean by that?" But Oliver didn't answer. Oliver had turned a ghostly pale. He jumped up and ran towards the main building. "Wait, what happened?" Andrew asked Johnny and Roberto, who looked just as pale.
"He going to kill Alexandra!" shouted Johnny, and he and Roberto ran off after Oliver.
"Who?" shouted Andrew.
"His sister!" Roberto shouted back.
"But wait, what happened?" Andrew shouted back, running after them.
"We'll try to explain on the way!" shouted Johnny.
Oliver was ahead of the other three. "No!" he shouted. "No! No! I have to make it, I have to get back! Please, don't let me be too late!" But something inside of Oliver told him that he was.
