Opening up in the forest of flowers, Emily found herself facing a familiar foe from not long ago! ...and that foe was Darklord Zerato.

"I'm not afraid of him!" Emily shouted bravely. "I've defeated him once, and I'll do it again!"

Airknight Parshath laughed. "That, we shall soon see!" He then looked to his graveyard. "Because I have four dark-attribute monsters in my graveyard, I can tribute summon Darklord Zerato with only one tribute instead of two."

The Darklork Zerato monster leered at his opponent with evil intention. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Emily spoke up once more...

"Parshath, I really don't understand you..."

"What don't you understand?" quizzed Airknight Parshath.

"You're a light-attribute monster! ...yet, you serve the side of evil." continued Emily. "What I want to know is why are you working for the Court of Darkness?"

Airknight Parshath frowned. Yes, he did work for the Court of Darkness... but the reason for him joining was something that no one, but him, knew about.

"Well?" cut in Emily. "Are you going to tell me?"

"You would never understand." grunted the Court of Darkness member.

The dark green-haired girl frowned. "Try me."

"Alright." sighed Airknight Parshath, beginning to tell his story. "If you insist on knowing my intentions..."

A flashback ensured...


FLASHBACK

A slightly younger looking Airknight Parshath was wandering through a desert on his own. He looked very tired, thirsty, and hungry.

"It was thousands of years ago before Diablon ever came to power." narrated Present Day-Airknight Parshath. "I was but a wandering soul in this world seeking out my purpose in life... but I was dying."

"I hope I find shelter soon." panted the Flashback Airknight Parsath. "Otherwise, I'm a goner."

Alas...

"N-No... I can't...!"

And Flashback Airknight Parshath collapsed into the sand from exhaustion and the heat.

"I would have perished right there and then-" Present Day-Airknight Parshath narrated some more. "-had it not been for them..."

(new scene...)

Flashback Airknight Parshath's eyes started to flicker open.

"Where... what happened to me?"

Once his vision slowly returned, the centuar-like monster saw a number of Duel Monsters were smiling at him.

"Welcome home." greeted one Mystical Elf.

"We've been waiting for your arrival." added a Magician of Faith.

"You... you have?" asked Flashback Airknight Parshath, looking around. "Where exactly am I?"

"You are at The Sanctuay in the Sky." answered a voice (female). "I was the one who brought you to this place."

Flashback Airknight Parshath's eyes widened. "Y-You're-!"

That's right... It was the kind and beautiful leader of the whole The Sanctuary in the Sky herself; Wingweaver.


Title: The Angel Trapped in Darkness, Part 2


"Wingweaver!" exclaimed a shocked Flashback Airknight Parshath.

The angelic-like monster only smiled. "I, and the rest of the monsters of this shrine, welcome you, Airknight Parshath."

"How was it that you found me?"

"You're a light-attribute monster, right?" questioned Flashback Wingweaver. "It is our duty here to keep an eye on monsters of the light and wind attributes."

"Like me?" asked Flashback Airknight Parshath.

"Yes... someone like you."

Suddenly...

"We also know that you're trying to seek out your purpose in life." came another voice (female). "So, why not become a protector of this land?"

Flashback Airknight Parshath looked for the source of the new voice. Flashback Wingweaver, meanwhile, smiled at who came into the chamber.

"Guardian Eatos, you've come just in time!" The angelic-like monster proclaimed.

"It would seem I have."

Yes, it was the second-in-command of the shrine's staff from The Sanctuary in the Sky herself; Guardian Eatos.

"So, what will it be, Airknight Parshath?" The female Guardian offered. "Will you join us as a Guardian?"

Flashback Airknight Parshath finally smiled.

"After they saved my life-" narrated Present Day-Airknight Parshath. "-how could I say no?"

(new scene...)

A few months later, Flashback Airknight Parshath was kneeling towards the King of one country within a part of the Duel Monsters spirit world.

"One of my first duties as a Guardian was to establish a peaceful relationship with the neighboring kingdoms."

"Your Majesty." said Flashback Airknight Parshath. His tone was full of respect for the rulers of the land he was visiting. "It is an honor to finally meet you."

"Unfortunately, this wasn't your ordinary King..." Present Day-Airknight Parshath narrated.

"What is it that you want!?" demanded the King in a rather rude tone. "If this is for negotiations for an alliance, you can forget about it! My army is one of the finest of this world, and has won me many wars!"

"But, Father!" cut in a voice (female). "This warrior has clearly travelled from a far away land! Can't you at least hear him out before dismissing him?"

Entering the throne room was what looked like a much taller, and older, version of Emily, dressed in a royal gown and with long brunette-colored hair instead of dark green (almost emerald) hair.

"Anastasia, you will not talk to me, your Father and King, like that!" snapped the King. "As the princess of this kingdom, you will do as I say, when I say. Do you understand, young lady?!"

"Sire, just let-!" started another voice (male), but he was cut off.

"Be silent, Anakin! You ae NOT to butt in when I'm scolding my daughter!"

The young warrior, Anakin, merely glared at his King as he turned his attention back to the visiting Airknight Parshath. He seemed to resemble an older version of Thomas with short black hair instead of blue hair.

"This King was unlike any I've ever met." narrated Present Day-Airknight Parshath.

"Unlike?" asked Emily's voice.

"He was a considered a cruel, heartless tyrant. He would constantly send his soldiers to war with other kingdoms so that he could take them for himself and expand on his growing empire. He even showed little care towards his own daughter and wife... However, he treated his adopted son, and the greatest warrior of his army, even lower."

(new scene...)

Two years later (time passes differently in the spirit world), Flashback Airknight Parshath was patrolling the grounds of The Sanctuary in the Sky when...

"Hold it!" came the voice of a Blade Knight. "What be your business here?"

"We have a little offer we wish to bestow upon your Guardians and civillians." came a familiar voice (male).

"Please let us speak to your ruler." pleaded another familiar voice (female).

Flashback Airknight Parshath raised an eyebrow. "Could it be?"

Down at the entrance way, three Blade Knights were busy confronting...Anakin and Anastasia! ...except they were both at the age of 18.

"Let them in!" called out Flashback Airknight Parshath. "They are my friends, and are most welcome here."

"S-Sir Parshath?" gasped on Blade Knight.

"You heard me! Now... let them come by."

The Blade Knights obeyed the command and stood down. The two young adults each sighed in relief and walked towards Flashback Airknight Parshath.

"Sir Anakin, Princess Anastasia." greeted Flashback Airknight Parshath. "I had never expected to see the both of you after two years."

"Likewise, Airknight Parshath." said Anastasia. "Anakin and I both thought that after we all became friends after your visit."

The centaur-like monster smiled, feeling happy to see his two good friends after so long. Just then, something about Anastasia caught his eye...

"Princess? Is there something wrong with your stomach?"

Anastasia's stomach was shown to be swollen, very big, and round.

"Oh... that..." The brunette-haired young woman mumbled, bringing both her hands to her clothed, enlarged tummy.

"She's pregnant..." answered Anakin, sounding part proud/part unhappy. "...with our child."

"You mean you two are married, now?" asked Airknight Parshath. "But last I heard, Princess Anastasia was set to marry-"

"No!" Anastasia suddenly shouted, just as her eyes watered. "My arranged marriage was a sham!"

"Sham?"

"I've hated my fiance ever since we first met!" continued Anastasia, as more tears streamed down her delicate face. "That horrid prince never love me for who I am! ...he only loved me for my body, and for other selfish reasons!"

"Selfish reasons?" questioned one of the Blade Knights.

"Like Anastasia's Father, this prince wanted to conquer kingdoms and start an empire of his own." explained an angered Anakin. "Anastasia was completely disgusted by that and rejected his advances towards her, but he wouldn't give it up."

Airknight Parshath frowned, but said nothing.

"Eventually, one night, the prince went too far." Anastasia sighed sadly. "He managed to ambush me in my room, and, here I quote..."

"'If I can't win you over willingly, then I will ravish your land by force!'" said Anakin, finishing his friend/lover's sentence. "Fortunately, I discovered what was happening, and the prince and I got into a brutal scrap."

"But being a coward he was, the prince eventually begged for mercy and Anakin here did so... before getting a knife pulled out on him."

"My God..." whispered Flashback Airknight Parshath, feeling sorry for his two human friends. "So that's how you got those scars, Sir Anakin. I-I thought you got them from a war..."

"I did, in a way." explained Anakin, feeling ashamed. "When Anastasia's Father found out what the prince had tried to do, he was furious—but not with him. Instead, he was angry with me!"

"Y-You? But why?"

"My Father has always resented Anakin from the get go." Anastasia pointed out. "While my Mother loves Anakin very much, my Father only saw him as a worthy tool for winning battles and nothing more. And to him, killing my fiance meant a possible war would break out. From there, the prince got away with his actions with only a mere one day sentence in the dungeons."

"Anastasia was then ordered to tend to my wounds." continued Anakin. "From there, it became clear as crystal that we love each other very much."

Anastasia nodded. "On our way here, I ended up becoming pregnant with our child. However, I do not care who objects to it; Anakin and I are deeply in-love, and my Father can NEVER change that!"

"But why ARE you here?" asked Flashback Airknight Parshath. "I mean... there has to be a reason for it."

"We want to make peace with your kingdom." explained Anakin.

"Yes." agreed Anastasia. "My Mother was tired of my Father constantly declaring war on all of the other kingdoms, and so sent us on a journey to the other kingdoms. The Sanctuary in the Sky is currently our last stop." She then felt distressed. "But once that's all done..."

"You'll have to return home." finished Flashback Airknight Parshath. "And when you do, your Father will likely discover the pregnancy..."

"We know..." sighed Anakin. "We don't know what to do. Anastasia here is currently eight months into her pregnancy."

Though keep down inside, the black-haired boy KNEW what to do; he wanted to kill the King and ensure that peace was restored to the land, but deep down, knew that it was pointless to try and assassinate Anastasia's own Father. This was because every time he had tried to do so, Anastasia would stop him. After what seemed like forever to everyone, Flashback Airknight Parshath smiled and snapped his fingers.

"I have an idea." he announced. "Could you both come with me into the temple, please?"

The royal couple followed their Duel Monsters spirit friend, unsure of what he was thinking of doing to help them.

(new scene...)

Inside a new chamber...

"Well, what do you think?" asked Flashback Airknight Parshath, arms folded.

Anastasia was now decked out in a beautiful emerald green gown that seemed to help conceil her pregnant belly from very sharp eyes.

"Oh, Parshath... it's beautiful." gushed the brunette-haired young woman. "Thank you!"

"You can hardly tell she's pregnant." smiled Anakin. "And she looks absolutely beautiful wearing the gown."

Anastasia giggled. "Oh, my Ani..."

The young couple then shared a kiss.

"Those two humans came to me when they needed help the most." narrated Present Day-Airknight Parshath. "I never forgot them to this day! ...but my happiness was not to last..."

(new scene...)

One morning, Flashback Airknight Parshath was making his usual rounds when...Flashback Wingweaver suddenly walked up to him.

"Oh, Mistress Wingweaver!" greeted the centaur-like monster, feeling pleased to see his superior. Suddenly, he saw that the angelic-like monster looked very upset. "W-What's the matter?"

"Something terrible has happened." explained Flashback Wingweaver. "Someone has awakened the Sacred Beasts!"

"What?!"

"And what's more... Anakin and Anastasia are...both dead." Wingweaver finished grimly.

Flashback Airknight Parshath felt like his whole world came crumbling before him.

"No..." he whispered quietly, with his back legs falling to the knees. "Not them...!"

Flashback Wingweaver did her best to console the devastated centaur-like monster.

"The two best friends I've ever had...were gone." Present Day-Airknight Parshath narrated bitterly. "What's more, is that I have no idea who even did the deed!"

"Parshath..." whispered Emily's voice. "But, I don't understand..."

"You will. Because that was when I met Lord Diablon!"

(new scene...)

Flashback Airknight Parshath was alone in another section of the spirit world trying to find answers on how to bring his two friends back from the deade, but was not succeeding in doing so.

"GODDAMMIT!" The centaur-like monster cried out, hurling fallen debris aside in his anger. "Why? Why did they have to die?! Who could have done this unforgiving deed?! I wish there was a way I could bring them back!"

"Oh, you do?" echoed a new voice (male).

Flashback Airknight Parshath turned and saw a small squad of Duel Monsters, along with a demonic-like human, approaching him. Because it was very dark, the demonic-like human was completely concealed by the darkness (with an exception to his glowing red eyes).

"You wish to bring your two friends back?" asked the demon. "The answer is very simple."

"How?" demanded Flashback Airknight Parshath, growing more and more desperate. "You have to tell me, please!"

"All you have to do is join me." continued the demon, managing to briefly show himself. "Learn to use the darkness to its full potential."

"Darkness?" It was then Flashback Airknight Parshath realized something about who he was talking to... "Hold on! Your voice... it sounds so familiar to me... Do I know you from somewhere?"

The demon's glowing red eyes narrowed. "No, you do not. You may think you know me, but you actually don't."

He walked back into the shadows, while the centaur-like monster frowned and gave a dejected sigh for getting his hopes of ever seeing Anakin and Anastasia ever again up.

"Besides..." spoke one of the Duel Monsters (Vampire Lord). "By joining forces with the Court of Darkness, you can achieve many great things."

"Really?" asked Flashback Airknight Parshath, looking at the Court of Darkness member.

END FLASHBACK


The flashback suddenly ended without continuing.

"I've said too much." said Airknight Parshath. "I suggest we continue with the duel, now!"

Emily frowned. This was why Airknight Parshath had joined the Court of Darkness - to avenge his fallen friends? But she decided to say no more for the time being.

"And, since we're still on my turn, I will activate Darklord Zerato's effect!"

Emily braced herself for what it could be.

"By sending one dark-attribute monster from my hand to the graveyard-" explained Airknight Parshath, discarding a card from his hand. "-I can destroy every single card on your side of the field!"

"All of my cards?!"

"Correct!" laughed Airknight Parshath. "Say goodbye to 'em!"

Darklord Zerato formed a ball of dark energy in his hand, and threw it towards Emily's side of the field.

"I play the effect of my Blade Shade Trap card!" announced the dark green-haired girl. "My Maha Vailo monster will not be destroyed by your card effect, and 500 life points worth of damage will also be inflicted upon you!"

The shield protected Maha Vailo, while inflicting effect damage towards Airknight Parshath (LP: 3200).

"I also activate the effect of Wonder Wand!" continued Emily. "I can send it, along with Maha Vailo, to the graveyard to allow myself to draw two cards from my deck."

"That's suicide!" Airknight Parshath pointed out. "You'd be open for an attack if you got rid of your only monster."

"No one got anywhere in life without taking risks." Emily insisted, drawing two cards.

From there, the rest of her field was cleared away of cards.

"Now watch as I activate a pair of Quick-Play Spell cards!" The dark green-haired girl continued, taking and slotting two cards into her Duel Disk. "Magical Revitalization and Emergency Provisions!"

The two mentioned Spell cards flipped face-up and revealed themselves.

"What?!" exclaimed Airknight Parshath.

"I first use the effect of Emergency Provisions to send Magical Revitalization to the graveyard." declared Emily, gaining life points (LP: 5000). "And now, the effect of my Magical Revitalization card takes place!"

The face-up Magical Revitalization Spell card started glowing... before fading away and leaving behind the face-up Maha Vailo monster card instead.

"This, because a level 4 or lower spellcaster-type monster was sent to the graveyard by the effect of a Spell/Trap card this turn, allows me to summon my fallen monster and place it in attack mode."

"Don't forget that your monster's effect is rendered completely null since you've summoned it by the use of your Spell card." reminded Airknight Parshath.

"At least it'll be less damage I take."

Maha Vailo reappeared in a battle ready position (Level: 4/ATK: 1550).

"Or will it?" questioned Airknight Parshath suddenly.

"What do you mean?" asked Emily, sounding confused.

"Facedown card, open!" The Court of Darkness member announced. "Continuous Trap - Sacred Arrow, activate!"

His set card flipped face-up and revealed itself.

"During each of our end phases, we both receive 400 points of damage for each one of our monsters destroyed during our turns."

"400 life points?!" thought Emily bitterly, but then watched as another face-up Spell card materialized face-up on her opponentt's side of the field. "Is that-?"

"It is indeed..." confirmed Airknight Parshath. "Attribute Bomb! By quipping it onto Darklord Zerato, and declaring the name of an elemental attribute, you will take 1000 points of damage whenever you control a monster with the declared attribute and it's destroyed by battle!"

Emily scowled. "I knew it! This is what you've planned to do to me, isn't it?"

"That's right." Airknight Parshath nodded, smiling darkly. "That means you will take additional damage for all of your destroyed light-attribute monsters! ...like Maha Vailo."

Darklord Zerato was awaiting the command to strike.

"Attack and destroy Maha Vailo, now!"

Darklord Zerato obeyed, punching Maha Vailo and shattering him into pieces of glass.

"Your monster has met its end!" declared Airknight Parshath.

Emily grimaced as she took large damage (LP: 3750), but it wasn't over yet...

"And now for the use of Attribute Bomb!"

Emily then took even more damage (LP: 2750). From there, a facedown card materialized on the field behind Darklord Zerato.

"I set one card facedown and end my turn." finished Airknight Parshath. "And now, because I'd used Darklord Zerato's effect earlier in my turn, it's destroyed at the end phase."

With that said, Darklord Zerato vanished in a blue streak.

"However... it's time for Sacred Arrow to open fire on both of us!"

Two giant arrows were fired from the sky, striking both duelists in their chests. While Airknight Parshath didn't feel very much pain (LP: 3200 - 2800), Emily gave a cry of agony from being attacked (LP: 1550).

"It won't be long, now..." grinned Airknight Parshath. "Soon I will have you sent back to the Castle of Dark Illusions..."

Emily stopped clutching her wounded chest to try and draw a card.

"Yeah? Well, that isn't going to happen." The dark green-haired girl grunted.

(new scene...)

Nathaniel had finally arrived back home to The Sanctuary in the Sky after his mission to take Thomas/Diablon down seemed to have succeeded.

"The deed is done." he said quietly. "But at what cost?"

The black-haired young man was feeling nothing but overwhelming shame and guilt for seemingly killing Thomas, and despairing his friends for knocking him off the cliff.

"Nathaniel, you did what you thought was right." said the voice of Wingweaver.

Nathaniel looked over towards the source of the lovely voice; it truly was Wingweaver.

"But... Mistress Wingweaver...!" Nathaniel began to object. "I-!"

"No, Nathaniel..." echoed the voice of Guardian Eatos, just as the black-haired young man began to glow all white. "She's right..."

The light left Nathaniel and formed back into Guardian Eatos.

"Mother!" protested Nathaniel. "You and I-!"

"I know." Guardian Eatos achknowledged. "But there was no other choice."

"But what about the spell?" asked Nathaniel. "It was supposed to extract the 'Evil One' once he had lost without killing Thomas."

"His anger, hatred, and despair seemed to have been too great and countered it." Wingweaver figured. "When Dark Magician Girl got trapped inside the Crystal Seal, Thomas likely gave into his darkest and most selfish of desires."

"The boy's friends have branded me as a murderer because of this." added Nathaniel, closing his eyes with remorse. "And, to be frank, they're right."

Guardian Eatos felt sorry. "My son..."

"I shouldn't have attacked." continued Nathaniel, still beating on himself. "I'm no better than Diablon or any of the other members of the Court of Darkness." It was then he remembered something... "And what of Emily?"

"She's in the middle of a duel." answered Wingweaver.

"With who?"

Wingweaver closed her eyes, fighting hard to hold back tears, still remembering his betrayal of the holy shrine years ago...

"Airknight Parshath." The angelic-like monster whispered in a heartbroken tone.

Guardian Eatos's eyes widened. "The one who betrayed us?"

"Yes... him..."

"Where are they, now?" asked Nathaniel. "The girl will need assistance."

"We can't reach her." said Wingweaver. "Parshath sealed himself with Emily inside the forest of flowers, and no one can get in or out without there being a winner to the duel."

"That's not fair!" Nathaniel objected angrily. "We have to at least try to save her!"

"No!" interrupted Guardian Eatos. "Emily has to face him on her own. It's the only way she'll be able to conquer her inner darkness."

"But... what if she fails?" asked Nathaniel once more, growing very distressed.

"She won't fail. I just know it." Wingweaver interrupted. "Also..."

"Also, what?" cut in Guardian Eatos.

"I... I want Emily to save Parshath."

"Save Airknight Parshath?" asked Guardian Eatos. "Why would you want her to save him after everything he did?"

The angelic-like monster never answered; she instead turned and proceeded back into the shrine. Nathaniel and Guardian Eatos both looked to each other, and quickly followed their leader.

(elsewhere...)

Back in the forest of flowers, Emily was finally beginning her turn.


Turn Five: Emily Sterling (LP: 1550)
Deck: 37
Current Hand (2): Fairy's Defender and Angelic Gift


The dark green-haired girl's drawn card was the Angelic Gift Spell card. Quickly, she cast a quick glance to her opponent while deep in her thoughts.

"Parshath's got me in a box." Emily thought to herself. "Everytime a monster of mine is destroyed, I take 400 points of damage. But thankfully, his move has also left him wide open for a direct attack."

Airknight Parshath kept a neutral look on his face, watching as his opponent held out her drawn card.

"I activate Angelic Gift!" announced Emily. "I draw two cards from my deck for every fairy-type monster I remove from the graveyard!"

As she said that, two monster cards slipped out of her graveyard before fading away into oblivion.

"So I banish Condemned Maiden and Mage of Fairies to draw four cards!"

Emily's hand now contained Fairy's Defender, Wingweaver, Graceful Tear, Mystical Shine Ball, and Fairy Archer. After a moment of thinking, she took the last card on the right and placed it onto a monster field slot on her Duel Disk.

"Fairy Archer, come forth!" exclaimed the dark green-haired girl.

The fairy-type monster wielding a bow and arrow appeared onto the field (Level: 3/ATK: 1400).

"Your life points are wide open!" continued Emily, pointing forth. "Fairy Archer... direct attack, now!"

Fairy Archer obeyed, forming an arrow of light and firing it at Airknight Parshath. Unfortunately, the Court of Darkness merely smiled at the arrow coming for him.

"Oh, please!" he scoffed. "You'll have to do way better than that!" From there... "Facedown card, open - Darklord Descent, activate!"

His facedown card flipped up and revealed itself.

"By paying half of my life points-" explained Airknight Parshath, taking a life point hit (LP: 1400). "-I special summon two Darklord monsters from my graveyard in defense mode with the same level as one monster on your field."

"Which ones?" Emily thought to herself, watching as her opponent's graveyard started glowing all purple.

Only one card appeared before the dark green-haired girl.

"Come forth - Darklord Ukoback!" commanded Airknight Parshath.

Appearing onto the field was what looked like a child with red and black wings, and chains wrapped around him (Level: 3/DEF: 1000).

"He maybe weak-" Airknight Parshath pointed out. "-but he has an effect like most of my other monsters."

"What kind of effect?" quizzed Emily.

"When Ukoback is summoned-" The Court of Darkness member explained, drawing and discarding a card to the graveyard. "-I can send a Darklord monster from my deck to the graveyard."

"Again with discarding monsters! Why are you doing that? What reason is there for it."

"To summon something more powerful later on." answered Airknight Parshath snidely. "Now for your attack to continue!"

Fairy Archer's attack was changed to target Darklord Ukoback. The arrow pierced the monster, and caused it to fizzle away into nothingness.

"Darklord Ukoback has been defeated!" declared Emily, clenching her fist confidently.

"Indeed." agreed Airknight Parshath. "But I wouldn't be celebrating so soon, if I were you."

Emily frowned, but said nothing. Whatever her opponent had planned, it sounded pretty effective! ...again, whatever the plan was.

(elsewhere...)

Down somewhere the canyon (the one leading to The Sanctuary in the Sky), a thick fog and suddenly gathered, and all was quiet... Or was it?

"This must lead to the place." came a familiar voice (male).

Emerging from the fog...was Gozaburo Gresley.

"All we have to do...is scale this mountain."

And it looked like the evil man wasn't alone... there were a large number of shining red eyes coming from the thick fog. It would seem Gozaburo Gresley had gathered his proper army to invade The Sanctuary in the Sky.

"Now-" announced Gozaburo declared, grinning wickedly. "-we go up!"

With that, the army of monsters began to approach and scale the cliff. This was not a good sign for Emily's new allies at The Sanctuary in the Sky; for they weren't even aware of an attack being directed at them.


To be Continued!
