Two weeks had almost passed since I met Natheniel, the leader of the Cavaliera Tenebra by now. In two days I would have to go meet him again, with the Archangels. It wasn't a pleasant thought.

I took a look at my deck, more precise: the Archangel cards inside of the deck. I currently held three. Raphael, Uriel and the newly acquired Michael.
"... Two days..." A voice whispered in my head. It felt like a voice was trying to talk me down even further.
I started talking to myself, in order to stay sane, at least.

"There are seven Archangel cards, of which I posses four. The only sensible way I could acquire the other four in time is if someone popped in and handed them over right here and now.

At this point in time, I probably should've learned that saying things out loud makes them more likely to happen, as at the exact second the words left my mouth, a huge explosion sounded somewhere close to where Uriel was flying.
"What was that, Uriel?" I asked. Uriel shrugged.
"Probably something going on down below on the land."
"Well then, land. We should be in walking distance of the meeting place anyways."

Uriel sighed and landed, then reverting into his card.

I took a look around the spot we had landed upon.
I then made a mental note to teach Uriel where to land.
Point A: Not on Water.
Point B: Not on a church tower.
Point C: Not in the middle of 4 Enemies that want my head.

He had issues with the last one.

"Welcome, Lucas. We have been expecting you're landing for a while now." The Red-Masked Man said. "
"It will be a pleasure to make it have been worth your while." The Green-Masked Man grinned.
"Forgive the idiocity of my companions, Lucas. I am Learco Di Famine. These are Jaliel di Morte and Matael, Di Pestilintia, a-"
A fourth man butted in.
"And I am Isaac di Bello. Vice-Leader of the Cavaliera Tenebra."

"I figured as much." I responded annoyed. I looked to the sky, but couldn't pinpoint where Raphael was flying with Luna. Though that might be for the best.

"What do you want?" I asked. Isaac shrugged.
"My, my, watch the attitude, my friend. We just came to help you out. See... you are short 4 cards. We have 4 cards spare. Do you have a few minutes?" He smiled. His mask was made in such a way (like most of them) that revealed his mouth and eyes, but nothing else.

"If you want a duel, then duel. I don't have time for this annoying chattering." I sighed. Isaac smiled again.
"Well, we wanted to just give you the cards, but now that you mention a duel... Fine. And since you are short on time, we'll just duel you all at once, won't we?" He jeered. My duel disk activated without me actually doing anything, and thus the duel began.

Duel:
Isaac: 4000LP
Matael: 4000LP
Learco: 4000LP
Jaliel: 4000LP

Lucas: 4000LP

"Well then, you know what they say, spoils go to the fast! MY TURN!" Isaac exclaimed happily.
"I activate the spell card 'Greek War'! With this, I can special summon 1 'Greek' monster from my hand as long as I don't control any monsters! Come forth! 'Greek Soldier Hoplite'! Now his abbility activates, whenever this card is special summoned, I can special summon another 'Greek' monster form my hand in attack mode! Come forth, 'Greek Soldier Levy'! Next I'll normal summon this! 'Greek Soldier Velites'. (level 4: 1200/800, level 4: 1800/0, level 4: 1400/900)
"And now that I control 3 level 4 monsters, how about we cut to the chase! I overlay my three monsters! I create the overlay network with these 3 monsters, XYZ SUMMON! Come forth, Ace of Greeks, 'Hercules, Lord of oppression'! That ends my turn." Isaac smiled.

"Well then, let me take over!" Matael quickly yelled.
"I normal summon the Tuner Monster 'Egyptian Slave'. Then I activate the spell card 'Egyptian Rule of Duplication'! With this, if I control an 'Egyptian' monster, I can special summon 2 'Egyptian' Monsters with the same name from my deck. I special summon 2 more 'Egyptian Slave's! Then, Slave's effect activates. This Special Summoned monster is treated as a non-tuner! Which means... I have 3 level 3 monsters, 1 Tuner and 2 Non-Tuners! I tune up my TUNER slave and 2 NOn-TUNER SLAVES! Synchro summon, come forth, Egyptian Overlord! 'Ra, Diety of oppression'! That ends my turn."

Ra entered the field with a magnificent aura of light surrounding it.
"At this point, Hercules' effect activates. Whenever 2 or more 'oppression' monsters are on the field, this card's original attack points becomes equal to their combined levels and/or Ranks times 200! That means his Attack is currently at 2600!"
"At the same time, Ra's attack power is equal to the attack power of the strongest 'Oppression' monster on the field +500. Meaning he is at 3100ATK." Matael smiled too."

"So now that they have had theirs, I think it's my turn! I activate the spell card 'Roman Call to Arms'. With this, if there are non-'Roman' monsters on the field, I can special summon 2 'Roman' monsters from my hand! Come forth, "Roman Lancer" and "Roman Shieldcarrier"! Now that I control both these monsters, I activate the effect of 'Roman Emperor of Oppression - Vespasius' in my hand, by tributing both monsters on my side of the field, this card Special summons itself in attack position! Come forth, Vespasius!"
"At this point, the attack points of Hercules rise by another 2000, since Vespasius is level 10, putting him at 4600. Then, Ra's attack points become 5200. In addition, the attack points of my Vespasius become equal to the amount of 'Oppression' monsters on the field, times 750! Meaning my Vespasius is at a fair 2250 attack points. Turn end." Javiel grinned.

"To not make you despair, entirely, I'll be going now." Learco smirked.
"I don't have any fancy tricks I'm afraid. Except of course the Oppressors on the field." Learco grinned. "I activate the effect of 'Oppression Oppressor Alpha'! By detaching 1 XYZ-material from an opponent's monster, I can special summon this card from my hand. So now I'll detach 1 material from Hercules, and special summon this card from my hand! Then, I can special summon Beta from my hand since I control Alpha! With this, I return both to my deck and contact Fusion summon this, 'Infinite Ruler of Oppressions - Oppressiva!" When this card is summoned, all Oppression cards on the field are also treated as 'Oppressor' cards, and then gain 1000Attack points! Furthermore, my Oppressiva's Attack points become equal to the sum of all Oppressor monsters on the field, once, during my main phase.
To help you out, Hercules is currently at a frightful 7100, Ra is at 7700, Vaspasius is then at 4000. This makes for a well total of 18.800ATK!" Learco smiled.
"And then there's the small matter of your turn... so go ahead."

I hadn't spoken since the first one made his move, simply because that's what fear does, it renders you incapable of speech. I mustered my strength, still not talking.
I took a good look at my hand.
"... What kind of joke are you pulling?" I asked, looking at Learco. He shrugged.
"What? Don't you like my gift?"
I looked again at my hand. At the cards I'd never seen before.
"What am I to do with these? This is not my deck." I tried sounding annoyed rather than terrified.
"Make the best of it, then. Your deck holds you back. The Fallen one wishes it this way." Learco sounded serious.
"I couldn't care less what your 'Fallen One' wants, I Want my deck!" I yelled back at him. He just shrugged and waved his hand in motion for me to play.

"Screw this... Let's see... I normal summon 'The Agent of mystery - Earth' and... oh, it's effect. I'll add... 'The Agent of Force - Mars' to my hand by its effect. Next I

ll use... 'Zeradias, Herald of Heaven's special effect to add 1 'The Sanctuary in the sky' to my hand. Then I activate the field spell." I said, I'd seen this deck before, somewhere... "At least now I don't take battle damage when a fairy battles..." I mumbled. A sudden thought struck me when I noticed 'Earth' was a tuner monster, so I quickly checked my extra deck. Well enough, there were some cards in there. An idea arose.

"Then, I banish the 'Agent of Force - Mars' from my hand to special summon 'Master Hyperion' from my hand. Next, I tune up my 'Earth' and 'Hyperion' in order to synchro summon a monster.
Shining lights unite only to break down greater shadows, come forth! 'Master of the Universe - Hyperias'! Hyperias' special effect activates, by banishing 2 FAIRIES from my graveyard, I can destroy all other cards on the field!" I exclaimed.
